Chapter 21: The Night
The big black horse ran over and came back, both of them covered their faces with black scarves, but like Linglong, the man recognized her at a glance.
"Little thief, I've met you again, get on the horse, I'll take you to see and see."
Linglong guessed correctly, this person is too lonely, and it is very chic and boring to play alone.
This time, Linglong didn't wait for his whip to roll over, he had already flown on the horse, and the big black horse stood up, wanting to throw her down, but was dragged by the master's ears, so he reluctantly twisted his ass, which was accepted.
Linglong looked curious and asked, "Just pull its ears?" ”
The man chuckled: "I can pull it, but others can't." ”
Linglong asked again, "Where are we going?" ”
The man said: "There is a place, I have been staring at it for a long time, and I have not been willing to move, today I have you just right, let's go together, and you will have some then." ”
Linglong pouted, either you lack a style, or you lack an object to show, so you are reluctant.
The two rode their horses like the wind, galloping on the main road, and the noisy and bustling streets of Dijing during the day were quiet and tranquil at this time, and there was not a single pedestrian in sight. The horses' hooves clattered lightly on the bluestone pavement.
Soon, they came to a high wall, and the man took out a few fireworks from his arms and handed them to Linglong: "If there is a situation, light the fireworks." ”
After saying that, he rose and fell a few times, and the person disappeared into the high wall.
Linglong yawned, she really hadn't done an errand in her previous life, and she couldn't imagine that she had done it twice now. Without a master, the big black horse was a little impatient, stamping his hooves on the ground, trying to throw Linglong off his back.
Linglong learned from the man and grabbed the ears of the big black horse, and threatened: "If you are not honest, I will make you into a horse meat hot pot, do you believe it or not?" ”
Of course, the big black horse didn't understand her words, but he really quieted down, his big nostrils gasping for breath, and letting Linglong do whatever he wanted on its back.
Linglong didn't know how to control the wind, and she had no experience as an assistant to others, so she lay on her back on horseback and watched the stars in the sky. She remembered the last time she had been tied to a horse by the man, and now she found that the position was actually quite comfortable.
I don't know how long it was, but Linglong had begun to doze off, and the man appeared from the wall, and he leaped and fell on horseback, and if it weren't for Linglong's quick flash, he would have sat on her belly.
"Why did it take you so long?" How can a thief be a thief, so that if he does not kill himself, he will also harm his companions.
The man chuckled: "The cook of that house is making supper, and I will wait for him to make it, and then I will take it out." ”
Linglong shook her head, it was the first time she had encountered such an unscrupulous thief.
At this moment, I heard a scream from the courtyard: "There are thieves, there are thieves!" ”
The two didn't dare to stay any longer, and the big black horse ran out in a puff of smoke.
"How did you find out so quickly?" Linglong asked, it stands to reason that this person stole not jewelry but also antiques, and most of them will not be discovered until the next day, and the family is too vigilant.
The man sighed: "I guess they found that the supper they just made was gone, and they were really stingy." ”
The two of them stopped at the peach tree pavilion in the west of the city, this peach tree pavilion is surrounded by peach forests, the scenery in spring is beautiful, it is summer now, the peach blossoms have already fallen, the branches are luxuriant, there is a different scenery in the daytime, and the night is a little gloomy.
Of course, the thief will not be afraid, the two turned over and dismounted, found a big bluestone and sat down to prepare to share the spoils.
The man took out a cloth bag from his bosom and opened it to see that it was a small bun with bean paste buns and tofu skin, and the cake was still hot, and it looked like it had just come out of the pot.
"I eat this for supper at that house, I really don't have a taste, and I'm not afraid of choking." Delicate belly.
When the man heard this, he took out a casserole from the big burden behind him as if he was playing a trick!
What was in the casserole was a pot of bamboo chicken soup with ham added to it.
The casserole had been carried on the man's back, and not a drop had been spilled.
The casserole was set up, and the man continued to take things out of his pocket, this time taking out two Ru kiln white porcelain lotus bowls and two matching soup spoons.
No wonder he had to wait so long to come out, this bamboo ham and chicken soup needs heat to cook.
"Which family is this, the cook is not bad." Linglong took a sip of chicken soup and tossed for most of the night, she was already hungry.
"This is the outer residence of the eunuch Ma Gonggong, who is in charge of the seal, and his family and concubines live inside."
"Concubine? Eunuchs also have concubines? Linglong opened her mouth wide, she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and she didn't know who this Ma Gonggong was, but listening to what the man said, she looked like a very powerful eunuch.
The man laughed: "Who said that eunuchs can't have concubines, there are five of them in this Ma Gonggong." ”
Linglong grinned: "Then he hasn't already" She made a clicking motion with her hand,
The man's laughter was even louder, as if it was the first time he had heard such a fun thing, and he pointed at Linglong and said: "You are really a child, Gonggong Ma will take a few concubines and watch the head office by himself, and you will understand when you grow up." ”
Linglong rolled her eyes, and accidentally, the black towel covering her face was wet with soup, she simply took it off, but saw that the person had also taken off the black cloth, revealing a miserable white face.
Linglong was startled, why was this person's face so ugly? She couldn't help but take a few more looks, and this look was also obvious.
This time it was her turn to laugh, and she laughed out loud, as if it was the first time she had seen something so funny.
"What's so ridiculous?" The man was expressionless.
"Hahaha", Linglong pointed to his face and said with a smile, "Where did you find the human skin mask, this work is too bad, it looks fake." ”
The man was very faceless by her laughter, and was a little displeased: "Nonsense, this mask is made by Shui Qianchang himself, and a mask is sold for five hundred taels, how can you say it so badly." ”
Linglong smiled and leaned back: "You have been deceived, although I don't know what water is changing here, but I also know that this is not worth five hundred taels at all." ”
The man glared at Linglong fiercely, only then did he see her appearance clearly, and mocked: "Your face is very good-looking, but it's a pity that you look like a sissy." ”
Linglong took a sip of him and scolded: "Master, this is your own face, it's genuine, it's not like you to buy a fake face for five hundred taels, hahaha, laugh at me." ”
The man simply turned his face away from her, but one hand fumbled in his pocket.
Linglong's eyes lit up, no thief could resist the temptation of sharing the spoils, and of course she was.
"What good things are in the big eunuch's house, take them all out for me to see."
The man laughed, but his laughter was more ugly than crying, with a strange white and miserable face, even if he was smiling, it was also a gust of wind, like an impermanent ghost who had just come out of the Yama Temple.
