(171), Brother Ant

The left and right longitudinal roads of Xingshan Road are two auxiliary roads that the new king imitated the old road after the fall of the previous Zhou Dynasty, but this does not mean that Emperor Zhao also began to learn the set of pleasures that the emperor of the former Zhou Dynasty liked to enjoy, because these two auxiliary roads are not to form a contrast with the main road, but to assist the offensive and defensive momentum of the wolf's tooth city wall outside Xingshan Road.

The foundation occupied by the auxiliary road is the original palace wall, and Emperor Zhao demolished it to build the current wolf's tooth city wall, which greatly reduced the aesthetics, but this is actually several times stronger than the original vermilion palace wall in terms of military defense.

However, because of the appearance characteristics of the wolf's tooth city wall, in the eyes of ordinary people, this city wall is just like a courtyard wall surrounded by the outside of the house, and the most difference is that because the emperor and his family live inside, so the courtyard wall seems much higher, but the higher ones will not affect everyone walking into this courtyard every year to appreciate the flowers and plants planted by the master of the courtyard, right?

The original palace walls overlapped several times, and later they were all bulldozed, and only one wolf's tooth wall was built, so a large blank space was left on the ground. In addition to adding a road accompanied by apricot and cedar on the left and right, this blank area is also dotted with some pavilions and lotus ponds. However, this pavilion is just an ordinary wooden pavilion, and some varnish is painted to slow down the decay; The lotus pond is also planted with ordinary lotus roots, at this time the tip of the lotus leaves has not yet grown to break the water and come out of the Cheng dΓΉ, and there is only a little vitality of the wild floating algae on the pond surface to bloom with new greenery.

Lin Shan was led by the attendants beside him, and after turning into the left auxiliary road of Xingshan Road, he soon saw a tall figure standing against the railing in a wooden pavilion very close to the Wolf's Tooth City Wall. Although I haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, I only need to look at it when we get together again, it still feels so familiar, and Lin Shan's heart can't help but feel a little excited.

In fact, when the waiter found Lin Shan just now. Lin Shan had some foreknowledge in advance who the person he was going to see was, because judging from the waiter's walking posture, it was not difficult to see Jiang Chao's shadow. Jiang Chao's training was not as simple as apprenticeship one-on-one, and when a large group of people were trained together, they would lose some individual characteristics and transform them into a collective symbol of characteristics.

When Lin Shan was hesitating to call Mo Ye. Mo Ye was in a daze. Therefore, after Lin Shan walked a few steps away, he saw that Mo Ye did not follow, and he didn't know if he would see anyone else, so he took the opportunity to press down the hesitation in his heart.

As Lin Shan's approach, the person in the wooden pavilion also saw him. However, the man's shoulders trembled slightly, and he stood up straight from the railing of the pavilion he was leaning on, but did not come out of the pavilion to greet him.

Until Lin Shan walked into the pavilion. The excitement and excitement in the eyes of the two collided together, and at the same time, there were two men and two close friends who had been separated for ten years.

It's not hard to imagine. The tall man in the pavilion, with tight sleeves in a sackcloth and a cast face, was one of Lin Shan's two friends of Jinlan: Li Gai.

Li Gai still likes to wear coarse linen tight-fitting shirts, and even now that he is in the position of commander, except for the time when he needs to wear official uniforms, his usual attire is still the same. However, he has a body that has been practiced in martial arts for many years, coupled with the spontaneous momentum between his gestures and eyebrows after he has reached the perfection of martial arts. No one dared to despise this strong man in linen, and those who knew him were even more afraid of the body that hid the terrifying martial power in the sackcloth package that had no extra cloth from an inch in it.

Throwing away the usual Confucian scribes and scholars, Lin Shan and Li Gai hugged each other, he could feel that Li Gai's martial arts cultivation had been exhausted a lot, and he was overjoyed, and the palm on his back couldn't help but exert a little more force. And Li Gai, who felt the speed of Lin Shan's heartbeat and the rhythm of his breathing at close range, was slightly worried in his heart, and after a slight hesitation when he originally wanted to return Lin Shan's palms, his broad and powerful hand just fell down with two points of strength.

After a short hug, the two took a step back, staring at each other, but they didn't say a word for a long time, and then laughed at the same time.

After laughing, the two spoke at the same time:

"Second brother!"

"The third child!"

With these two familiar salutations spoken, before the two had time to say more greetings, they heard a voice coming from afar: "Okay, you Ah Li, didn't you say that you would be together?" You're one step ahead of me again. ”

As soon as the words fell, the waiter beside the pavilion who had just led the way for Lin Shan had already knelt down on one knee silently. Lin Shan looked in the direction where the waiter was kneeling, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes and with a graceful face walking steadily. Behind him, there were two tall and torch-like attendants with knives, but the two warriors were holding the handle of the long knife hanging from their waist and swaying slightly with the undulations of their walking, and carrying a food box in the other.

After seeing this person, Lin Shan's heart first flashed with a touch of joy and a trace of excitement, but these originally pleasant moods were soon surrounded and stirred by a large number of complex feelings that did not know where they came from the bottom of their hearts. For a moment, he didn't know whether to smile or bow down like the waiter, and as a result, he could only stand stunned.

……

Mo Ye sat alone on the side of the apricot fir road for a long time, only felt very bored, the joy of appreciating flowers, but also to have someone to be led by the flowers, chatting, this is fun, what kind of fame can a person enjoy the flowers? Mo Ye admits that he can't grasp the fun in itβ€”there is no fun at all.

So when Mo Ye was looking at the delicate petals scattered on the burnt gray floor tiles, she suddenly had a thought, picked out more than a dozen petals, and put out the word 'Mo' on the ground.

Mo Ye looked at the word 'Mo' and frowned slightly, because there were too many strokes, the word was a little crooked, but she thought that the next word would be very simple, so after frowning, she quickly smiled at the corner of her eyes.

However, when Mo Ye began to put a 'leaf' character, before the side of a 'mouth' was placed, she felt that someone was sticking to her and squatting down, and as soon as she subconsciously raised her head, the word 'Mo' on the ground and the word 'leaf' that had not been placed were blown away by the person who squatted down in one breath.

Mo Ye was slightly annoyed when she saw this, this apricot blossom petal was too thin, it was not easy for her to pick up a dozen petals on the rough street floor tiles, but she didn't expect that as soon as she put on the shape of a word, she was blown away by a strange person in one breath.

However, she saw Shi Yi's face when she looked up, and after being stunned for a moment, the annoyance in her heart had long since disappeared. Although she and Shi Yi had only met in a hurry yesterday, the initial impression of this cheerful young man was not bad, coupled with his identity as the son of the Oiran, Mo Ye also unconsciously paid more attention to him. However, the main reason why his appearance now makes Mo Ye very happy is that this lonely apricot appreciation activity may have a lot more fun because of Shi Yi's storage.

Mo Ye stood up suddenly, looked at Shi Yi, who was still squatting on the ground, and shouted happily: "Shi Yi? Why are you here! ”

Shi Yi looked up at Mo Ye slightly, staring at her smile full of joy and staring at her, and then his smile spread from his curved lips, he was still squatting on the ground, and said with a smile: "Can't I come?" ”

Mo Ye compared Shi Yi's identity with what she had just said, and soon found that something was wrong, and after a flash of embarrassment on her face, she squatted down again, looked at Shi Yi and said, "I mean...... How did you get in here? ”

It seems that the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes! After Mo Ye squatted down and said those words, he couldn't help but wipe a sweat in his heart again.

Fortunately, although Shi Yi is not a child from an ordinary family, he doesn't seem to have so many sensitive factors in his character, he still has a slight relaxed smile on his face, and after a flash of cunning in his eyes, he suddenly said: "If you call me Brother Xiaoyi, I will sue you." ”

Mo Ye was stunned, she didn't expect Shi Yi to suddenly say this, to be precise, she was still a little unable to accept Shi Yi's way of speaking for a while. Mo Ye's education is from the orthodox Lizheng Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in her concept, if two people want to call each other brothers in this world, they will first call each other humble, and then wait for each other to call themselves back. Like Shi Yi, who took the initiative to ask for a title, and there was a slight hint of compulsion, it was the first time she had seen it.

"What? You don't want to? I'm two years older than you. Shi Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and on his face that had not completely faded from his childishness, this raised eyebrow looked quite naughty.

Mo Ye thought to himself, he didn't suffer much by calling him 'brother', as he said, he was already older than himself. It's just that Shi Yi's raised eyebrows also provoked the naughtiness in Mo Ye's heart, as soon as Mo Ye lowered her eyebrows, she saw the ants crawling out of the cracks in the stones at the root groove of the apricot tree, she suddenly laughed, looked up at Shi Yi, and shouted crisply: "Brother Ant." ”

Shi Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then there was helplessness in his eyes, he didn't continue to entangle with Mo Ye on the issue of this title, and after stopping with a dry cough, he asked a little abruptly: "What about your master?" ”

How did Mo Ye come to Xingshan Road, why is he another person at this time, these turns have been brought by Shi Yiyi, he can directly ask that sentence, and he has naturally sorted out these turns.

Thinking of this, Mo Ye couldn't help but secretly think that Shi Yi's quick thinking was somewhat inconsistent with his identity, could it be that this was the result of being honed by life?

"He seems to have gone to see his friend." Mo Ye replied briefly.

In fact, Mo Ye wasn't sure who her master was going to see and what the identity of the person she was going to see was, but if she didn't answer at this time, with Shi Yi's mind, it would seem that she had deliberately concealed it.

After answering Shi Yi's question, Mo Ye didn't wait for him to speak, and hurriedly asked again: "You haven't answered my question yet!" Brother Ant, don't tell me that you're here alone. ”。 (To be continued.)
