Chapter 5 Death is to save face and suffer sin
The mountain breeze is cold, most of the flowers on the mountain in late spring are thanks, of course, it is more likely that it is because it is in the mountain temple, the Buddha light is solemn, and all the flowers are in awe, so this mountain is mostly ancient trees towering to the sky, the bright sunlight shines through the staggered branches, occasionally reflects some bird's nests, and the slight chirping of young birds comes from it inadvertently.
Before the summer solstice, and in the secluded mountains, the clothes behind Xia Xueyi were already wet with sweat, and the outer shirt was light, faintly revealing a dark undershirt. The young body is not weak, but it also has a bit of thinness. The butterfly bones are printed high, and when viewed from behind, it seems to want to spread its wings and fly high.
There was a tingling pain in the palm of his hand. Sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead. He steadied his footing, raised his head and wiped his sweat with his cuffs, looked up at the still long mountain road in front of him, and exhaled a depressed breath, a little discouraged. But then a hint of tenacity flashed in his eyes, and Master Zhiyu said that although the mountain road is long, it is like a lot of setbacks in adversity. But no matter what, there is always a moment to finish, as long as you take one more step, one more step! Hang on! Keep it up! My aunt and uncle and Dabao are all waiting for me at home!
Taking a deep breath, Xia Xueyi's eyes flashed with the light of struggle, and she continued to walk towards the mountaintop temple full of energy.
Although it is thousands of miles apart, Xie Xiang feels slightly similar to Xia Xueyi in his heart at the moment, just melancholy~ It's just that some unique descriptive words have been added, such as - egg pain. Yes, Xie Xiang's face is now serious, and he looks serious and silent...... The egg hurts. He looked at the fat man in front of him who broke into his room in the night, and told everyone with his facial expressions and actions that he was doing something unseemly, the great butler of the Li Mansion (self-proclaimed). I am deeply anxious about this person's IQ......
Taking a deep breath, Xie Xiang's eyes flashed with a suspicious glint, and he said to the person sitting on the chair in the room with a sincere face: "This ...... Can you take off the gauze on your head, just now you have scared the three alumni outside......" Li De was stunned, coughed, and decided to give it to his future uncle (...... A face. He pretended to be natural and took off the white cloth from his head...... Yes, see clearly! It's a white cloth! White gauze weaving cloth that is white and white! Most people can't afford it! However, Xie Xiang pressed the corners of his mouth that kept twitching, who wrapped a white cloth on his head in the middle of the night, and the most important thing was to wear a black dress, boss. Are you always playing the horror of the Ming Dynasty or the horror of three hundred years!
Li De was a little embarrassed, isn't it bad for others to see who he is, and when he took it, he brought the gauze that was originally going to be given to Dongchun. It's just that, and these are just small sections anyway.
Although the dormitory of the county school is not large, there are still plenty of places to meet visitors. Xie Xiang sat on the chair next to the round table, and very calmly built a pot of tea for Li De: "The person who came is a guest, I don't know what you are doing this time." ”
Holding the teacup, Li De looked left and right at it with a critical eye. "Tsk, this kind of coarse porcelain cup, you don't think it's in the way, Gongzi Xie. Look at this bowl, yo, this is also broken. He said in a tone that hated iron and steel: "This kind of thing is in our Li Mansion, and it is something that the lowest subordinates don't use!" ”
Xie Xiang watched Li De's rapping movements, and faintly had some success in his heart. It seems that the Li family has never given up on themselves. He smiled indifferently, his eyebrows were sparse, and he was extraordinarily handsome against the candle flame. Li De was a little dazed when he forgot it, but he only felt that this person was really good-looking, no wonder he was praised when he inquired about him.
"If the guest has anything to say, just say it, and how long it should take to solve the matter that you have always felt is weighty. In the next estimate, what the guest said, so it should not take long. The gentle and elegant also poured himself a cup of tea, and Xie Xiang carefully tasted the tea in his hand.
Suddenly a flower exploded on the lampstand, and there was a crackling sound.
Li De's eyes lit up, his hands arched, and he said with a smile on his face: "Gongzi Xie is very happy!" Everyone says that the candles are bursting, and the happy event is coming. And that's exactly what happened. ”
"Oh, I don't know where the joy comes from."
"It's not a secret, in fact, this time the villain came on the orders of the head of the family. Son, you also know, why is there a young lady in the house, and there is no talent for that kind of appearance. It's just that the head of the family loves mercy and is reluctant to marry the young lady far away, so he wants to find a fast son-in-law to accompany the young lady and stay in the Li family. ”
Li De said a long time, only felt that his mouth was a little dry, and he didn't care about setting up the score, so he picked up the teacup he just disliked and took a sip. He wiped his mouth: "As long as you nod your head, then why are the dowries of Miss Mansion's white flowers, tsk, but it's hot!" ”
Speaking of this, as if to confirm what he said, Li De took out a box from his arms with a smile. Gently pushed the box to the side of the table close to Xie Xiang and opened it slowly.
The night was dark, and the small lake outside the window could hear the chirping of frogs. With the breeze, the fragrance of lotus leaves was sent.
Looking at the box of Dongzhu under the candlesticks and the lights on the table, adding even brighter, Xie Xiang suddenly felt stupid, this kind of beautiful scenery, he was not drinking tea and reading a book. Instead, listen to this kind of nonsense and look at this kind of flashy beads. He looked at Li De, who was smiling proudly. If you live up to this great time, you really should punish yourself with three glasses!
The bones were distinct, and the slender and white hand slowly stretched out to the box on the table. The smile on the corner of Li De's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and there was a disdainful glint in his eyes. Duyan Gongzi is like jade, but it's not a box of Dongzhu?
It is said that when you look at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes. If you want to say this, you can also be on Dongzhu, it is shiny and bright, and it is more moving when it reflects the candle flame. Li De watched the hand get closer and closer, and his heart turned a thousand times, and some greedy thoughts flashed, but he still pressed it. I silently thought of the words of congratulations in my heart, just waiting to compliment my new uncle first.
"Da!" Radiance is reduced. The night was silent, and only frogs could be heard chirping, and this abrupt sound was very conspicuous.
Li De was a little dumbfounded, he looked at the box of Dongzhu that he coveted, and the person in front of him closed the lid with his hand, and slowly pushed it towards him. He swallowed his saliva and looked up at Xie Xiang with difficulty: "Childe, this is?" ”
"A gentleman loves money and takes it from the way, not to mention that he has no hobby of selling his body. Guests, good to go, not send. Xie Xiang raised his hand in a very elegant posture, and then pointed out the door, expressing his very sincere intention to send off the guest.
"No, no, no, Mr. Xie, you can think about it! The wealth of our Liu Mansion is not something that you, a little teacher, can know! After this village, ......" Li De stood up excitedly and shouted loudly.
"That's it, remember to turn left, go to the right and you'll have to feed the fish." Xie Xiang got up and walked to the door, and Li De hurriedly followed behind him, still chattering. Before he knew it, he arrived at the door, crossed the threshold, Xie Xiang stood at the door, looking at the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky outside, it was really three thousand stars falling into the dust. The bright moon is in the sky, like the brilliance of the nine heavens reflecting the world. I just feel that it is a godsend, and people can't bear to live up to it.
After taking two more steps outward, Li De persevered and said, "Childe, let's think about it, the little one today is just a little careful, and there will be more in the future......"
Xie Xiang turned around, there was a long night behind him, looking at the fat man in front of him who was trying to convince himself, he suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Haha, to paraphrase the words of the ancients, what is Mingzhu Qianhu, what I Xie Xiang asked for has never been these!" ”
Outside the house, Li De was stunned, and then he saw the door of the room, and it closed tightly with a "bang" in front of his eyes. Now he was really dumbfounded. Hurrying to the door, he knocked on the door and said, "Childe! Xie Gongzi! You think it out! The candles in the room were suddenly extinguished, as if to meet the occasion, and suddenly there were several cries of night owls from the branches of the trees next to them. Frightened, Li De screamed, only to feel that the surroundings were very gloomy, and he slapped the door for a while, but there was no movement inside. The probe probed and looked around, although the moonlight was good tonight, there were many trees here, the branches and shadows were shaking, and everywhere was more terrible than the darkness. And Li De has always feared ghosts and gods, and only feels that this is a good time for the layman of all things. Thinking of this, he felt that this Xie Xiang was not interesting, and it was okay if he didn't accept it, anyway, he didn't accept it, and his own benefits ...... And more.
Walking on the way back to Li's house, Li De snorted secretly, only feeling a little unlucky, this errand was not done well, I don't know how the chief manager scolded it. However, he smiled greedily again. Took out the box of Dongzhu from his arms, couldn't put it down and stroked it, quickly probed his head and looked left and right to see that there was no one, walked to the corner and took out a bag from his arms, and after opening it, there were a few big and good Dongzhu. With a wicked smile on his face, he put all the contents of the box in the bag, and then put it in his arms and put it away properly.
Li De smiled contentedly at this time, and when he went out, the chief manager explained that no matter whether Xie Xiang accepted it or not, he would give him all the Dongzhu. Then use this to gag his mouth and let him not leak the slightest intention about the Li Mansion.
Thinking of this, Li De just disdains it, it's just a poor and sour talent, he has no money, no power and he wants to save face, and he doesn't dare to say anything, so as long as he goes back and tells it, it is that the things have been delivered. Even if the incident happened and he bit it to death, others would think that he was greedy for money and didn't dare to admit it, who would know who the thing was.
Thinking of this, he was happy, and when he walked on the road, Li De couldn't wait to sing a little song. But fortunately, he still estimated that it was already curfew, and he sneaked into Liu's mansion through the back door.
Liu Fu's plan is also human, which is understandable. Even Xie Xiang can say that he admires the Liu family's fancy and love for his daughter. But this appreciation and understanding is based on the premise of not being involved with oneself. He has no interest in being an inverted son-in-law, let alone a woman he doesn't like.
