In the evening of the ancient capital of Luoyang, the autumn wind is blowing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe soft light of the river shimmers sparsely among the reeds at the edge of the Luoshui water, and the bells of the White Horse Temple echo in the distance. However, Dongfang Lin and Wuwei had no intention of enjoying the scenery, so they hurried to Luoyang City.

After finding an inn and settling down, the two came to a decent restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and asked the shopkeeper about the way to Huaiyue Villa. As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the two were going to Huaiyue Villa, he asked, "Are you going to seek medical treatment?" The owner, Mrs. Li, has the most brilliant medical skills in our area. The price is also fair. Dongfang Lin didn't want to say more, nodded and said, "Yes." How to get there? The shopkeeper said: "Not far, five miles outside the east gate, you can see the main entrance of the villa." However, the two of them had to get up early in the morning because there were so many people who went there to seek medical treatment, and they often had to wait in long queues. The two thanked the shopkeeper and didn't mention it.

According to Dongfang Lin's meaning, the two did not go to see a doctor, so it was inconvenient to rush over to visit people before dawn in the morning, so they did not leave the city until dawn. According to what the shopkeeper said, it didn't take long to see a large peach forest, a stone road was carved out in the middle of the woods, and a small archway was erected at the intersection. Dongfang Lin secretly said in his heart: This owner is really tasteful, if it is spring, how pleasant it is to walk on this stone road covered by peach blossoms. Look again, there is a wooden sign erected under the archway, which reads: Donkey carriage sedan please go to the back door. Dongfang Lin felt very surprised, and said to Wuwei: "I don't know if the official master has to go through the back door when he comes." Wuwei said: "I think this family is strange, and I won't say anything when I go in for a while." ”

The two dismounted and walked through the peach grove, and their eyes suddenly opened up. It's a big courtyard.

The main entrance was wide open, and no one was watching. The two of them walked in, and in front of them was a wide black cobblestone corridor that led to the large main hall. The house is simple and atmospheric. On both sides of the road were white stone paved floors, and on either side of the wall were verandahs where five or six servants could be seen walking around. Walking into the main hall, the two were stunned. Where is this like a main hall? I saw twenty or thirty people in different clothes sitting in different places, and there were many empty chairs. At first glance, it looks like a big private school. Seeing the two of them enter the house, a scholar in Tsing Yi came over and saluted the two and said, "Please sit down and wait." He handed over a wooden sign. Dongfang Lin said: "We are not here to seek medical treatment, but to visit the young owner of Guizhuang." The Tsing Yi scholar was surprised and said, "I'm sorry, we are only responsible for receiving patients, please ask Mrs. for advice." With that, he walked away.

Dongfang Lin looked at Wuwei, and Wuwei said, "Then wait." Dongfang Lin couldn't, so he had to sit down and look at the wooden card in his hand, No. 28. sighed, "I should have come earlier." The two of them had to look around and see that some of the people sitting around looked very poor. Dongfang Lin thought: It seems that the statement that the price is fair is true, and he suddenly has a little good impression of the owner's wife.

After waiting for nearly two hours, I saw people coming out with medicine bags one after another, and people kept coming in, and finally a maid came out of it and said, "No. 28, please come in." ”

The two followed the maid into the second courtyard. It was much smaller than the first entrance, and the two of them didn't have time to look around before they came to an elegantly furnished square hall. Facing is a portrait of Hua Tuo, there is a huge pot of spider plants on the shelf next to the wall, lined with green yarn drape, bronze tripod, and a few other Jin Dynasty ink treasures, as soon as you come in, it makes people feel refreshed and happy. In the middle of the hall sat a middle-aged woman in light purple homely clothes at the front of the sandalwood table, who could not see her age, but saw that her face was beautiful, with a little light makeup, and her black hair pinned behind her head with a silver hairpin. The woman motioned for them to sit down.

Dongfang Lin said: "Mrs. Zhuang Owner, the junior is Lin Dongfang of Nanjing Oriental Dart Bureau, under the guidance of Elder Yunshan Qizhen, the abbot of Shaolin, I have come to ask for help from your Zhuang Gongzi. ”

Mrs. Li looked at the two of them and said, "He is not at home, he should come back in the next few days." If you don't mind, please stay in the house for a few days. When he returns, I will have someone inform you. He turned his head to a woman in her thirties standing beside him and said, "Ah Ye, take the two of you to the guest room to rest." ”

After thanking Mrs. Li, the two went to the so-called guest room, which turned out to be a place to receive seriously ill patients. Although it was simple, but three meals a day was quite rich, so the two stayed temporarily. For the next three days, nothing was heard about Sima Xin. Strangely, the people in the garden were all quiet, and they didn't know anything when asked. The courtyard is empty and secluded, and you get tired of it quickly.

On the evening of the fourth day, Dongfang Lin was already very impatient and walked around the courtyard. Wuwei said: "Dongfang, don't be impatient, the owner's wife looks like a good person, let's wait." Dongfang Lin said: "Hey, if I really see that Sima Xin, I'm afraid I'm even more anxious." ”

As he was talking, the maid Ah Ye walked in and said to the two: "The son just came back, but I don't want to see anyone, please go tomorrow morning." ”

Dongfang Lin was a little angry when he heard this, and thought to himself: We have been waiting for a few days, and it is not good for him to see him. Said to Ah Ye: "Where is Childe now?" We are really in a hurry, can we be accommodating? ”

Ah Ye was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid not." But I can ask. With that, he turned and walked away.

Dongfang Lin snorted and went out to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and sulked. After a while, Wuwei saw that she was still angry, walked over and sat down, and said, "Don't be angry, maybe he will see us in a while." Dongfang Lin glanced at him and said, "Who does he think he is?" We had to bow our heads under the eaves. ”

I don't know what to say, I can't figure out why she is so angry, and people haven't offended her, just putting on a show. Is it because I heard that others are more capable than her? Alas, girls are really difficult to understand.

After a long while, Ah Ye came back and said to the two: "Childe said, please come over." ”

Wuwei smiled and said to Dongfang Lin: "Look, isn't this good?" ”

The two followed Ah Ye out of the courtyard. Huaiyue Villa is very large, but it is sparsely populated, especially at night, it is pitch black, and only a few rooms are lit up. After passing through several entrances, you will come to a courtyard full of flowers and trees. There are a few lanterns lit on the corridor, and you can vaguely see a huge pond at the other end of the corridor, and the rockery by the pond is faint, and the breeze blowing in the face carries the faint fragrance of unknown plants.

The three of them stopped outside a lighted room, Ah Ye knocked lightly on the door three times, and whispered to Dongfang Lin and Wuwei: "Childe is inside." I don't think he's in a very good mood, so let's try to keep things as simple as possible. ”

At this time, I heard the man in the door: "Come in." "Listening to the sound seems a little impatient.

Dongfang Lin stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Wuwei whispered: "Be careful when you speak, don't bump into him." Dongfang Lin muttered in a low voice: "What are you afraid of." ”

The two walked into the door one after the other, only to see a huge medical box on the chair next to the door, which looked like Lang Zhong's back, and there were bags, umbrellas, horse whips and other things scattered on the ground. A blue veil divides the front and back of the room, and at this time the curtain is ajar, and the candle is bright inside, and a corner of the bookcase can be seen, and a stack of books of various sizes is piled up in a mess. Dongfang Lin hesitated for a moment, stopped outside the curtain and said, "Sima Gongzi, Lin Dongfang of Nanjing Oriental Dart Bureau is polite." ”

After a while, I heard the people inside say absent-mindedly: "I don't know each other, what's the matter?" Come in and talk about it. ”

Dongfang Lin was a little excited, he had heard a lot of rumors about this person, but he didn't know what kind of person he was. Turning the veil, I saw Sima Xin lying on the desk flipping through the book. Just by looking at it, Dongfang Lin couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: there are really such handsome people in the world! A slightly thin face was clearly defined in the candlelight, the two sword eyebrows were slightly raised, the long and deep eyes were clear and restrained, the straight nose bridge was like a knife, although he was sitting, he could still see that he was very tall, he was wearing a half-worn white shirt, and he was not crowned, with one hand on his forehead, and his fingers were slender and clean.

Hearing the two of them come in, Sima Xin put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the black-faced young man in front of him and the young man behind him.

Dongfang Lin immediately realized that he was out of shape, lowered his head and took a step forward and said, "Sima Gongzi, in Xialin Dongfang." ”

Sima Xin nodded in return, and said without pain: "Long Yang." ”

Dongfang Lin felt a hair in his heart, pressed his dissatisfaction, and said: "I am visiting your mansion in the next place, I really have urgent matters to ask for, and the time is urgent, and I hope that the prince will forgive me." ”

Sima Xin looked at her from head to toe again, and said, "I have no contact with your Oriental Dart Bureau, what is the matter with me?" ”

Dongfang Lin knew that it was useless to be polite, so he said: "A priceless dart was stolen by the thief door in the cheating dart bureau, and many times the battle was unsuccessful, the thief is proficient in the art of the mechanism, and no one in the dart game can do it." After the recommendation of the abbot of Shaolin, he came to Guizhuang to ask the son to come forward and help. ”

Sima Xin said: "If the thief steals something, he doesn't go to find the catcher, what are you looking for me?" ”

Dongfang Lin pursed his lips and said calmly: "There is a letter from Zen Master Qizhen of Yunshan below, please ask for your son's help." With that, he handed over the letter in his arms.

Sima Xin glanced up at her, took the letter and read it, and said, "Let me think about it tonight, I'm busy now, please go back." ”

Dongfang Lin was very uncomfortable with him, and said in a deep voice: "Childe......" Before the words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Sima Xin: "I have something." Please feel free to do so. I'll get back to you tomorrow. With that, he lowered his head and continued to read the book, ignoring the two of them.

Dongfang Lin knew that he couldn't do anything about this person, so he flicked his sleeves and turned around and strode away. No one had ever done this to her since she was born, and she was sulking and returned to her guest room to drink water without stopping. Wuwei was afraid that he would annoy her again by saying the wrong thing, so he had to say nothing.
