20. Chapter XIX
The ink is empty, and the stars are shining.
The old man and I sat in the courtyard, eating meat, drinking wine, and talking at night.
I found that in addition to his slow reaction, the old man actually knew astronomy, geography, and even singing, which was just a wonderful old man!
"Old Chen, sing well!" I clapped my hands and applauded.
The old man said that his surname was Chen, and he and his wife were not locals, and they came here in seclusion. In my opinion, anyone who lives in seclusion must be a person with a story, not to mention that this old man can write and sing.
However, I was not very curious, and just asked, "Old man, were you a big official in the imperial court before?" ”
Old Chen looked down at the stars reflected in the bowl, and asked instead of answering, "Little girl, how did you and your husband meet?" ”
"Me......" I thought about it, touching my chin, "I don't know him well, so I don't know him." ”
As if he had been stalked by the rice balls, Chen Lao pointed at me with a long mouth, and then pointed to the wooden house and said, "You...... Say you're not familiar with him? ”
Thinking about it, Chen Lao must have mistakenly thought that Lan Yi, who is sleeping in the house now, is my father-in-law. I clapped my hands and said, "It's not what you think. He's my little uncle. ”
"Oh."
Chen Lao suddenly gave me a "I understand" look, dried the wine in the bowl, and said leisurely as if he was deeply memorized: "Actually, my wife and I also eloped here. ”
"Yes."
Seeing that I responded indifferently, a trace of vigilance flashed in Chen Lao's faint eyes: "Do you know about me and my wife?" ”
I was surprised: "Ah, what's the matter?" ”
Chen Lao was silent and said, "Why aren't you surprised at all that I eloped with my wife?" ”
I pointed to the top of the hill where the bird doesn't but only has floating carrot flowers and said, "To be able to live in seclusion in such a difficult place must be an unspeakable hidden." I thought you had killed someone else and came here to hide from your enemies. So it's not surprising to hear you say that elopement is such a trivial thing. ”
"Such a trivial thing as elopement?" Chen Lao looked at me and then smiled heartily: "Little girl, you actually said the same thing to my wife......
Hey, could it be that I was dazzled, why did I see tears in Old Chen's eyes.
Seeing me rubbing my eyes, Chen Lao suddenly stood up and turned his back to me, and said in a dry voice, "Little girl, go to sleep when you are sleepy." ”
We're talking right now, and even if I want to, I don't have a bed to sleep in. I looked at Elder Chen's back and said, "Elder Chen, I'm not sleepy yet." Do you want to drink two jars again? ”
However, as if he hadn't heard what I was saying, he walked into the cabin.
The meat was eaten, and the wine was drunk. Gotta go back to the house and see Uncle Little!
When I walked in with a cat's step and pushed the door in, by the moonlight, I saw my little uncle sleeping on the bed like a quiet floating carrot.
Why do you use the pommel flower to describe the little uncle?
It's just because they have two things in common.
First, both are soft and boneless.
Second, both are dismally white.
I couldn't sleep, so I couldn't help but move a low stool to sit next to the wooden bed, and began to count Lan Yi's eyelashes to play.
I have to say that Lan Yi's eyelashes are dense and long, like a fan, which is more tiring than the stars in the sky.
"One little uncle, two little uncles, three little uncles......"
I wanted to count the eyelashes to pass the time, but I didn't want to count and count to Zhou Gong......
"Hmm...... Good fragrant braised pigeon. Braised pigeon, don't run away......"
The next day, when I was awakened by the nightmare of the braised pigeon flying away, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Lan Yi's face close at hand.
"Little uncle? Why...... Will you be in my bed? ”
I frowned, and then I came back to my senses and found that my lower body was sitting on a small low stool, and my upper body was pressed against Lan Yi.
Seeing that Lan Yi's face was as red as blood, he just stared at my mouth faintly and didn't speak. I looked at his red, swollen and even saliva mouth, and laughed, "Little uncle, I don't want someone as old as you to drool when he sleeps." ”
Xiao is laughing at me at the mouth, and Lan Yi's pale face was suddenly so gloomy that it was about to drip water. I could even feel his breath on my neck become rapid.
Seeing this, I hurriedly covered my trembling belly that accompanied my laughter and said, "Little uncle, don't be angry, I don't laugh at you." The rain stopped outside, and after breakfast, we set off and arrived at Heifeng Village before noon. In the evening, you can rush back to Chen Lao for dinner! ”
After I finished speaking, I raised my eyes to look at Lan Yi, his face was even redder than before, and I followed his deep gaze to see that I was revealing a spring on his chest.
Suddenly, a hot and moist drop of liquid fell on the back of my hand.
This is......
"Blood!"
Seeing that two of Lan Yi's seven orifices began to bleed, I jumped up from Lan Yi's body without a master, and was about to call Chen Lao to help take a look. Lan Yi pulled my hand violently, I never knew that Lan Yi would have so much strength. Unsuspecting, I was dragged by him like this, and I stumbled and fell into his arms again.
I heard a muffled grunt, and my hand felt like it touched something like a carrot......
At this time, Lan Yi was as weird as the evil spirit, he turned around, turned his back to me, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law, Ah Yi is fine, it's just ...... It's just on fire. ”
"I see."
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this, and hurriedly picked up the copper basin on the wooden frame and said, "Little uncle, you wait for me." I'll go get some water for you. ”
I hurried to the courtyard and happened to see Chen Lao standing at the door with a wooden stick.
"Old Chen, are there really rats in this house?"
I walked up to Mr. Chen and couldn't help but be stunned: "It turned out to be Mrs. Chen." ”
Old Madam Chen, who was looking at the wooden stick, slowly looked up at me and said, "Little girl, what did you say?" ”
Smelling the smell of wine on Mrs. Chen's body, I slammed my footsteps and smashed the copper basin in my hand to the ground.
"You...... It's not Mrs. Chen! We stretched out our hand and walked towards Mrs. Chen's chest.
Old Chen said that Old Madam Chen didn't drink, and Lan Yi said that Old Madam Chen was wrong. It wasn't until this moment that I realized why he always stared at my face when I talked to Chen Lao Ye yesterday.
Because he, like Mrs. Chen, can't hear me clearly, he can only rely on lip reading!
The sound of the fabric tearing sounded in my ears, and sure enough, as I expected, Mrs. Chen was actually a man. To be more precise, she is actually the same person as Chen Lao.
"Sister-in-law, be careful!" Lan Yi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
I saw that Chen Lao, who was torn by me and tore the truth, picked up a wooden stick with red eyes and waved it at me: "Little girl, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for not going to Pheasant Mountain!" ”
Hearing Boss Chen's unashamed words, I twitched the corner of my eye.
A wooden stick that is no thicker than Lan Yi's wrist, this princess can be broken with one punch.
However, just as I swung my fist at the wooden stick, I was slammed by Lan Yi again. Although he was able to avoid Chen Lao's attack, his body was pressed straight to Lan Yi due to the loss of balance.
The fat on my body is too much for Lan Yi to bear.
There was a muffled sound, and Lan Yi and I both fell to the ground.
His chest was so painful from Lan Yi's teeth......
"Little uncle, what are you dragging me for?" I asked, rubbing my chest and baring my teeth.
Lan Yi's face was reddened by blood, and when I saw Chen Lao who was waving a wooden stick on my back through Lan Yi's deep ink eyes, these ink eyes were suddenly frightened.
Lan Yi suddenly hugged me and tried to turn over and take Chen Lao's stick.
Lan Yi's reaction seemed to be expected by me, but it was unexpected by me. I pressed my hands on the sides of Lan Yi's head and smiled: "Little uncle, I said, don't be afraid, as long as there are no chickens, even in the face of thousands of troops, I will protect you." What's more, it's just Chen Lao's wooden stick......"
"Sister-in-law, you ......"
The moment the stick slammed into my back, it was as if my bones had been broken, and I let out a heart-rending sound.
"How could there be a stick in this world that is harder than my bones......"
Seeing that I bared my teeth and cracked my teeth in pain, as if seeing through my thoughts, Lan Yi exuded a chill in my arms, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, what he is holding is not a wooden stick, but a black iron dog stick painted with wood grain." ”
Dog Stick?!
Uncle Chen!
I am the princess of Kyushu's daughter, and he dares to beat me with a stick that beats a dog! This princess is going to beat him up like a dog!
At this moment, I suddenly smelled a faint floral scent, but more like fish and eggplant......
"Little uncle, why...... Do you have two heads? ”
With the sharp pain in my back, my consciousness gradually began to blur. Knowing that Chen Lao was still standing behind me with a dog-beating stick, I held Lan Yi in my arms, and before I completely lost consciousness, I turned my head with difficulty to look at Chen Lao, who was also holding two heads, and said, "Please...... Let go of my little uncle, he can watch the flowers and listen to the rain in the first place...... Not long ......"
So "Qiu Xian" was killed by the dog beating stick like this?
Why haven't I heard the voice of the Lady laughing at me?
Why does the back feel crispy and numb, like a feather brushing?
I...... Is it dead or alive?
"I don't want to die! I still have eleven tasks to complete! When I opened my eyes with a scream, I saw Lan Yi sitting on a low stool next to the bed with her thin lips pursed and her eyes level with me.
"Little uncle...... Is it really you? I couldn't help but tremble and stretched out my hand to caress Lan Yi's thin face, and choked up: "You are not dead, and I am ...... You're not dead, are you? ”
As long as I don't die, I still have a chance to become an immortal!
Seeing me crying with joy, Lan Yi was stunned, and his deep ink eyes revealed a touch of pity. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes for me: "Sister-in-law, although Ah Yi didn't say it." But Ah Yi is not too late to say now, as long as Ah Yi is in this world for a day, Ah Yi will not only drive away the flower hen for her sister-in-law, but also do her best to drive away the harm for her sister-in-law. ”
Looking at Lan Yi's serious and strict face, my eyes were hot again.
The number one talent in Holly Town coaxed people to be intoxicating. I stared at Lan Yi's thin lips, which could always make moving sounds and puzzle moving sentences, and suddenly remembered the scene before I fell into a coma, and then said in surprise: "Since we are not dead, what about Old Chen!" ”
