Chapter 22 The white fog is confused, and one person tells the story
I went all the way south, bought a jar of good wine on the way, flew out of the imperial city, and continued south, on the shore of the South China Sea, there was a man I knew, "the storyteller", and there was nothing in this world that he did not know.
There is a "sea of fog" not far from the shore of the South China Sea, the white fog lingers for many years, if you enter it, the two people can not see each other even if they stand face to face, but in the depths of the sea of fog, there is a table of cases, there is a waking wood on it, the storyteller stands behind the case, patting the waking wood from time to time, and telling a story repeatedly.
I've only heard the first half of the story, but I never had time to finish it.
When I entered the sea of fog, I had a guide given to me by the storyteller, so I came to the storyteller without any obstacles.
He stood alone in the white sea of fog, talking emotionally, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and after seeing me, he patted the wood and said loudly, "Old friend, don't come to harm." ”
I stepped forward and put the wine in my hand on the table, opened the wine seal, and immediately the aroma of the wine overflowed, and I said, "Don't come unharmed." ”
The storyteller squinted and sniffed the wine, "Enough to mean you." As he spoke, he lifted the flask, tilted his head and poured it.
I pulled out the imprisoned halo and face from my bosom and placed it on the desk, and said, "I want to trace the location of its owner from these things, do you know what to do?" “
The storyteller put down the jar, and the hair on his cheeks hung on the wine, dripping slowly.
He bent down, looked down at the two things on the desk, and said to me, "Remove your sword." ”
Without saying a word, I took the gratuitous sword back, and the halo and face began to fade, and it seemed that it would dissipate in a few moments.
The storyteller reached out and grabbed the halo with one hand and the other at the face.
To my surprise, the face and halo were actually held in his hands.
I raised my eyes to look at the storyteller, hundreds of years later, he was still the same as when I first met, his face was delicate but only slightly vicissitudes, especially the slender eyes, the black eyes were full of stories.
I couldn't help but wonder more about who he was, but we never asked each other where they came from or where they were, except that I was carrying a wine and he was talking about a book, and in this endless white fog was the time we spent together.
The storyteller carefully touched the halo and the human face, and the two dissipated, and the storyteller picked up the jar again and took a big sip.
When the jar was drained, the storyteller reached over with his other hand and said, "Follow it." ”
I saw him open his hand, a small bead in the palm of his hand, I took the bead and looked at it carefully, only to find that the pattern on it was exactly what the human face looked like.
I tuck the beads into my arms, "I'll bring you wine next time." ”
The storyteller took a stance and patted the waking wood, "Old friend, we'll see you next time." ”
The white mist hid him, and the storyteller's story came ethereally, and the tone was moving, and I turned and walked out of the fog.
The waves of the South China Sea gently lap on the shore, and the endless sea seems to be able to bury the world's troubles, but it can't save a storyteller in the sea of fog that is close at hand.
Carrying the beads back to the Qian Mansion again, for me who appeared again, the housekeeper guarding the door was shocked again, and ran towards the mansion as before, "Madam, Miss Qin is back again." ”
It was a group of people who were hulala, led by Mrs. Qian, and I didn't wait for her to speak, so I said, "Since I promised to save Young Master Qian, I won't escape from the battle." ”
After hearing my words, Mrs. Qian swallowed back her words, and said with a smile, "The old woman is just worried about Miss Qin. ”
I glanced at it and still didn't see the young lady, so I asked, "Mrs. Qian, why don't you see the young lady?" ”
Hearing me mention the young lady, the atmosphere was obviously silent, and Mrs. Qian immediately said, "She hasn't felt well for the past two days, so I let her rest well." ”
How could I believe such an obvious lie, and said, "Mrs. Qian, but I still need the help of the young lady in the next matter, I don't know if she can hold on." ”
Mrs. Qian smiled, "Okay, okay, no problem, I'll call someone to call her." I looked at Mrs. Qian and thought to myself that it was really an old fox, and I was quick to answer this.
After that, I walked to Young Master Qian's room, and I heard his shouting from afar, but his voice was a little weak.
Mrs. Qian followed me and said, "In the middle of the night, my son woke up and has been tossing until now. ”
I nodded and said, "Mrs. Qian doesn't need to follow me, just call the young lady." ”
Mrs. Qian nodded in agreement, "I've already called, I'll be there soon." ”
I entered the house alone, looking at the tied Young Master Qian, he changed to a slightly feminine face this time, his eyes were twisted and roared fiercely, after seeing me, he was even more excited, I slashed with a palm again, and Young Master Qian fell in response.
It didn't take long for the young lady to knock on the door and enter, but when she came in, she didn't say a word.
I looked at the young lady standing with her head bowed, and saw that she was dressed in beautiful and delicate clothes, and said, "Young lady, can you pour a cup of hot tea for you?" ”
The young lady bowed, still bowed her head, stepped forward in small steps, and raised her hand to pour tea for me.
I looked at her arms covered by the sleeves of her light gauze coat, and the scars were dense, "Why doesn't the young lady want to look up?" "Light gauze covering, there are faux pas." The young lady raised her head as she spoke, and it was really covered with a light veil, revealing only her forehead and reddish eyes.
I sighed softly and said, "Young lady sit." ”
The young lady shook her head, "How can a little woman be qualified to sit at the same table with the girl. ”
"Then I command you to sit." I insisted.
The little woman had no choice but to sit down, but she did not speak.
I poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Do you know that your husband is haunted by sneakiness?" “
The young lady did not drink tea and nodded silently.
"Then do you know that only real sneaky can become sneaky, if people have the intention of harming others, they are no different from demons, and they must also be punished." I whispered.
The young lady nodded, "What the girl said is reasonable. ”
"Although you have suffered a lot here, what if you really poison me and poison Young Master Qian? Will you be better? I spoke calmly, and the young lady's body shook, raised her head to look at me, and said in denial, "I don't know what the girl's words mean?" “
It seemed that she would not admit it, so I continued, "The soup is poisonous, and although you have covered it with bitter gourd, you can't hide it from me. ”
The young lady was still calm at this time, but her eyes were a little tighter when she stared at me, "Girl, I'm afraid it's a delusion, the soup doesn't say whether it is poisonous or not, but it was not boiled by me, but it came from the kitchen grandmother, and there is more than one person in this house who wants him to die." ”
