Chapter 15: The Cuckoo Calls
After listening to Wei Laosan's tirade, Qin Gang smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the rosewood table and Huanghuali chair in the inn, and said to him: "Boss Wei, you are too modest, such a family business can be compared to those who do small business?" ”
Wei Laosan sighed, and said a little shyly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, this inn is actually my father-in-law's, and now he is old, frail and sick and not suitable for labor, let me stay here, just to help him watch." Although this inn can www.biquge.info in terms of location can't be compared with those in the city, it is close to the most lively south gate of our Jianning City, and there are not a few people who come and go every day. ”
Just when Wei Laosan said this, a group of people happened to enter the store, shouting to stay in the hotel, Qin Geng arched his hand to Wei Laosan, and then turned around and left the counter, and when he walked to the small door of the hall leading to the backyard, he looked back and saw two men and two women coming in.
One of the men and one of the women had gray hair, and they looked like old husbands and wives; The younger man and woman are like the children of the old couple.
Although the outfits of these four people were ordinary people, their slightly bulging temples revealed the secret of their martial arts.
After walking to the backyard and entering the room, Qin Gang beckoned to Mo Yan, who was packing up his things, "There are four people living in the hotel in front, I think it's a little weird, you go and investigate." ”
Mo Yan received the order, like a harrier, and went out through the open back window, and disappeared in a blink of an eye against the wall.
Qin Gang was in the room, and when he was about to finish drinking a pot of tea, Mo Yan jumped in through the back window, leaned over to Qin Geng's side and whispered, "Childe, those four people are really weird. ”
Qin Gang raised his eyebrows, "Say." ”
"The four of them are all disguised, and I saw them gathered in a guest room just now, and after taking off their human skin masks, their faces were very young, and they were estimated to be about the same age as us."
Qin Gang let out a long tone, and then touched his chin and paced in the room. Mo Yan knew that he was thinking about something, so he didn't bother, and stood there quietly motionless until a few cuckoo calls came from outside.
Mo Yan walked to the window and looked for a voice, on the dense cypress tree in the northwest corner of the courtyard, the night breeze in a green shirt was stretching out a hand to greet him.
Looking back at Qin Geng's Mo Yan, he found that he had stopped pacing, but his slender fingers were still groping up and down his chin, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he asked with some disgust: "Which idiot is learning cuckoo calls outside?" ”
"Young master, it's the night wind."
As soon as he heard that it was the night wind, the look of disgust on Qin Gang's face immediately turned into disdain, "Let him come in quickly, and the first master of the secret guard, don't be embarrassed there, what is not good to learn, I want to learn cuckoo, I am afraid that people will not know if he called it or what!" ”
Mo Yan stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with some incomprehension: "Young master, if it weren't for the night wind learning three times in a row, I would have really had a cuckoo calling, learning so similarly, why did you still scold him?" ”
Qin Gang stretched out his hand and flicked it on his head, and said with some hatred: "He is stupid, you are also stupid, this is just the beginning of Yangchun March, where did the cuckoo call!" ”
Mo Yan blinked, and suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, and said yes, when this cuckoo began to call, at least half of the spring had passed, so he ran to the window and desperately gestured to the night wind on the tree, telling him not to learn bird calls again, and hurry up The house is serious.
In the front hall of the inn, Wei Laosan, who was crackling on the counter and planning to plate, suddenly stopped and asked Xiao Er, who was moving wine to the store, "What bird is calling?" ”
Xiao Er wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, listened carefully with his ears sideways, and heard nothing except the sound of the wind blowing on the branches, so he shook his head at Wei Laosan, "There are no birds chirping." ”
At this time, the pair of big swallows that set up their nests behind the plaque of the inn came back from foraging, and the chirping was very lively, Wei Laosan shook his head with a smile when he saw this, and said to Xiao Er: "It's okay, keep working, maybe I listened to the errand." ”
The night breeze drifted into the house through the window, and as soon as she stood firm, she opened her mouth and asked, "Princess, I have something very important to say to her." ”
Qin Gang walked up to him and stood still, and said word by word: "Now, I can't hear the cuckoo call, next time I will trouble you to change it to the swallow call we hear the most in the spring." ”
At this time, Yefeng noticed how serious a mistake he had made, and stretched out his head and slapped Bang Bang twice, "I was negligent, and I will go to the four princes to confess later." ”
After all, Night Wind is not his direct subordinate, Qin Gang doesn't have to say anything, even if he has opened the page so far, "The princess is resting, if you have anything to tell me, it's the same." ”
Night Wind stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "That...... In fact...... Just now...... Yan Rulan deliberately said that she wanted to marry you in order to test me, and she didn't really like you. ”
Qin Gang clasped his hands in front of his chest, frowned and asked, "You came in a hurry just to say this?" ”
Night Wind nodded solemnly, "Hmm." ”
Looking at his extremely serious face, Qin Gang had a feeling that he couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart was not that this night wind couldn't stand Yan Rulan's day and day entanglement, and he couldn't even make his head work.
Yefeng continued to say solemnly: "Yan Rulan, she didn't know that you were a concubine, and she didn't know that Princess Bilan was right in front of her, so she pulled and pulled with you, she just wanted to test me, and she didn't really like you." ”
A bad premonition suddenly floated in Qin Geng's mind, and he quickly asked, "Did Yan Rulan ask you to come?" ”
Night Wind's face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and she nodded pitifully again and again, "No, she insists that I find you and ask you to go back, if you don't ask you back, she will first peel my skin, and then personally come to the door to make amends for you." ”
Qin Gang couldn't help but hiss, and muttered to himself: "I can't afford to provoke, we can afford to hide, Mo Yan, you go and let Ling Qian pack up his things, and we will leave immediately." ”
Night Wind sighed faintly and said: "It's useless, I almost hid in the mouse hole at that time, but she still found out, now unless you leave Jianning City, otherwise, even if the ground of the entire Jianning City is turned over, she will find you out." ”
Qin Gang couldn't help but glance at Mo Yan, the faces of the master and servant turned green and yellow at the same time, as if they had been boiled in Coptis water.
"Gongzi Qin, I know that you have the emperor's order and will not leave here for the sake of a mere woman, but now that Yan Rulan is unrelenting, I can't knock her out at every turn, otherwise, you and the princess should go back to Youxi Village."
