(099), burial pigeons

Mo Ye touched the pigeon's body with his hand and found that it had begun to stiffen, but there were no scars on its body appearance, which was really strange.

Mo Yezheng was silently puzzled in her heart, and suddenly heard a slight footstep coming from not far away, and she hurriedly put the pigeon into her sleeve. Squatting down and closing the cuffs, and tidying up the love slightly, Mo Ye stood up at this time, and when he turned around, he saw two Zhuang Ding in gray clothes walking from afar.

The person Mo Ye was looking forward to just now seemed a little troublesome to her at this time, but fortunately, her kung fu to hide her feelings had already been practiced because of the life of a woman in the academy disguised as a man. At this time, seeing that she did not avoid retreating, Si Swen approached the two Zhuang Ding, and then said with a slight smile in his eyes: "Two big brothers, the younger brother asked for one thing, just now the younger brother forgot the way after it was convenient, and I don't know how to go back to the fishing ground?" ”

The two Zhuang Ding stopped when they heard the sound and looked Mo Ye up and down. Fortunately, the manor only welcomes a group of people every day, and there are a large number of people entering the village today, but their clothes are almost the same, so that the servants in the village are easy to leave an impression. So the two Zhuang Ding quickly recognized Mo Ye's identity and did not doubt it much.

I heard one of them immediately say angrily: "You are expensive to come today!" Turn right along the road at your foot and you'll come to a flower garden, which is a fork in the road, but when you get there, you should be able to hear the sounds of the people in the fishing ground, and the people in the fishing ground are having a good time! ”

The other man continued, "Do you want me to lead you?" ”

Mo Ye hurriedly said in a harmonious voice: "Thank you two big brothers, don't dare to work, the younger brother will retire first." ”

Her hands were still wrapped around her chest, and on the surface she looked a little domineering, but she was secretly holding the pigeon in her sleeve. Afraid that the two of them would be wrong, Mo Ye bowed deeply after thanking her, and then she left quickly.

Looking at the back of Mo Ye leaving in a hurry, a Zhuang Ding on the left couldn't help but wonder: "This person makes me feel weird like this?" ”

The Zhuang Ding on the right side chuckled unconcernedly: "Don't think too much, don't you think that today's group of people are all crepe?" It's very different from ordinary people. Hearing that they are students of Shanshui Academy and Lizheng Academy, the people who came out of the big academy are more than humble, but those of us who are used to doing low-level and rough work feel uncomfortable. ”

The Zhuang Ding who had expressed his doubts just now didn't know whether he was happy or hurt himself when he heard this, and then said: "Yes, let's go to the room, it's not too early, we have to prepare people's lunch quickly, there are a lot of people today!" ”

》》》》》》》》》

Mo Ye followed the guidance of the Zhuang Ding, and turned right all the way to a flower garden at a fork in the road, but she didn't hear any noise in the direction of the fishing ground, but the uninhabited environment in front of her reminded her of another thing. She finally let go of the hand that was around her breast, and carefully pulled the gray-feathered pigeon out of her sleeve, only to find that it was dead and almost completely stiff.

From the pigeon's small pointed beak, Mo Ye found some white foam. The foam had dried, and Mo Ye scraped some of it and rubbed it between his fingers, and saw that the foam had turned into untraceable dust and dispersed without wind. She finally realized that the pigeon must have eaten poisonous food and died of poisoning.

Based on the impression in her memory, Mo Ye estimated that it must have been more than five or six years since the pigeon had been sending the letterhead to her master. The pigeon has been dutifully fulfilling its duties as a military pigeon all these years, but unexpectedly died, if someone did not deliberately harm it, it is really old.

Older pigeons also retreat, so that the time to replenish water and food is shortened. In previous years, it might have been able to fly directly over Zephyr Manor, but now it had to stop for a moment. It may have slowed down the trip because of this, making the master wait a few more days, but it lost its life because of this negligence.

Everything has a fixed number, and people don't need to laugh and lament for things such as the full moon and the lack of a moon, but Mo Ye thought that this pigeon had worked hard all her life for her master, which was indirectly equivalent to working hard for her and finally dying, she still couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.

At least it can't be exposed to the wild for the bloodthirsty insects to eat their bones!

Mo Ye thought so to herself, so she took the last letter of her messenger career from the lap of the gray pigeon, carefully put it in her bosom, then broke a branch, and squatted beside the soil of the flower bed and began to dig a hole.

She was digging very fast, because she tried not to let people know about it. Fortunately, the pigeon's body was not large, and the eternal sleep pit dug for it did not need to be very big, and the work of digging the pit was soon completed. It's just that when Mo Ye was filling in the soil, her spirit relaxed a little and her movements were much slower, and she began to think about how to give the small letter to the master.

In fact, she could have waited until after today's end and then handed the letterhead to Lin Shan, just because on the way to Zephyr Manor by car in the morning, the tense and mysterious feeling in the conversation between Ma An and Lin Shan in the carriage had already brought her a kind of pressure, making her afraid that something would happen if it dragged on for a long time, so she was in a hurry to arrange for this accident in her heart.

Mo Ye was pondering, and suddenly an extra hand appeared on his shoulder and patted her gently. This gentle pat made Mo Ye startled, and when he looked back, he saw Xing Feng's smile turning into a strange expression.

Xing Feng naturally wanted to ask her what was wrong, but at this time, Mo Ye's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and the worry in her heart was not dissipated at all, she didn't even have a perfunctory mood, so she reluctantly responded a few words, and went back to the fishing ground with Xing Feng.

It's just that she has just entered the gate of the fishing ground, and she sees a strange sight, and at the same time understands why the fishing ground has become so quiet.

On the edge of the lake in the middle of the fishing ground, the stone table where Lin Shan and Chai Yan sit opposite each other is the middle point, and two rows of students are lined up on each side, all holding fish donkeys, and their eyes are fixed on the buoys floating on the water not far away. The anglers are quiet and focused, and the onlookers behind the anglers are also quiet and focused.

Mo Ye felt strange in her heart, and asked Xingfeng the reason, and then she became even more annoyed.

It turned out that after Lin Shan tasted the famous 'Western wine' brought by Chai Yan, he was so energetic that he wanted to drink another glass. Unexpectedly, Chai Yan sold Guanzi, claiming that this wine was obtained across the sea, which was very precious, and if he wanted to drink it again, he had to make a bet with him.

Next, the two of them were divided into a faction, and a few students who knew how to fish were called to divide the fishing pipe, with a stick of incense as a time stage, and the number of fish caught in the same time as a measuring scale, if one side beat the other, the winner could drink a drink.

This seemingly nonsense gamble quickly received an enthusiastic response from the students. The two deans in the chess pavilion were fighting in a good fight, and they didn't seem to have time to pay attention to this side of the matter.

Moreover, before leaving today, the two deans had already announced that today's gathering was all based on their hearts, and the requirements for etiquette were not strict. It was rare for everyone to relax together, and it happened that these two masters, who were widely sought after by the students in the academy, wanted to fight for wine, and the students were of course happy to participate in it.

If the outing conference held by Lizheng College has created a precedent in group outings, then the 'double courtyard tour' of Zephyr Manor can be regarded as the cornerstone of the outing conference, arching group outings to a new peak, that is, increasing the balance of teacher-student interaction. This qiΔ“ sprouted in the deliberate letting go of the two deans who pretended not to know, and reached its peak in the gambling game of the two masters fighting for wine.

The scene was quiet at this time, that was because the students began to enter the state, and they were engrossed in catching a fish as the goal, but Mo Ye could still imagine that at the beginning of the gambling game, the students participated in the lively Cheng dΓΉ, it seems that the words of the two Zhuang Ding outside the fish field are not false.

Mo Ye, who was still some distance away from the shore of the lake, looked at the situation in the field, the battle set up by the students, and the excited expressions on the faces of the spectators, and after a deep groan, her face suddenly sank, and she said to the torture wind beside her: "Brother Xing, my master has not recovered from the wind and cold, and it is not suitable to drink, but Chai Fuzi has already provoked his addiction to alcohol, so I can't persuade him at this time, so I want to ask you for a favor." The look in Xing Feng's eyes was slightly solemn, and he said without the slightest hesitation: "You speak." ”

Mo Ye leaned close to Xing Feng and whispered something in his ear, and then saw Xing Feng nodding and strode towards the improvised bow target in a corner of the fish farm.

Mo Ye strode up to Chai Yan, first bowed respectfully, and then said a word? Qiang said: "Chai Fuzi, the student would like to ask you a question. ”

Chai Yan saw that although Mo Ye was polite, there seemed to be displeasure in his tone, he didn't have to guess to know what the reason for the displeasure of this old friend's beloved disciple in front of him was, but at this time, even the old friend sitting opposite had been taken away by the smell of his wine, and she, who was an apprentice, could only be powerless to return to genius. Therefore, Chai Yan didn't care about Mo Ye's displeasure and said in a harmonious voice: "What's the anger, if there is a problem, just take care of it." ”

Mo Ye subconsciously glanced at Lin Shan, and found that Lin Shan was also smiling at her at this time, but on his face, two patches of blush rose from drinking.

Mo Ye glanced at the sand next to the table again, and found that there were already two burned incense sticks, and a pillar of incense was burning, only half of which was left. No, in addition to the tasting wine that Master promised before, he also drank at least one glass afterwards - no, not right - Mo Ye glanced at Chai Yan, who had a normal face, and suddenly understood that the past two games had all been won by the master, and her heart was even more worried.

Mo Ye glanced at the senior brothers who were fishing on the shore of the lake, and couldn't help but pick out the idea of blaming, and only said seriously to Chai Yan: "Master Chai, may I ask if the disciples of Shanshui Academy are allowed to participate in your gambling game."
