The person Mo Ye recognized the words was the one who danced with the master with a sword just now. Thinking of his name as Dancing Sword, the sword swing that concealed his true strength, Mo Ye's eyes could not suppress a trace of hostility. But she immediately bowed down to hide the expression of emotion in her eyes, and then walked with the two behind her to the seat where Lin Shan was sitting.

Lin Shan was already a little drunk and unconscious at this time, lying on the wine case and muttering something silently, and even the wine cup on the case was casually brushed to the ground by him. However, in this room full of wine and drunken talk, there were already several drunk masters like Lin Shan, so his appearance at this time was not a dishonorable thing in the eyes of the audience.

But it was the first time Mo Ye had seen her master so drunk, she gently patted her master's shoulder, and didn't respond even a few times, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She was anxious, and saw Yan Xingyi, who had already walked to Lin Shan's side, put up Lin Shan's shoulder, and comforted Mo Ye: "Senior Brother Mo, don't worry, drunk people are like this." As long as you sleep peacefully tonight, you will naturally be refreshed tomorrow. ”

One of Xingfeng and Yan Xing set up Lin Shan, one on the left and one on the right, and went downstairs with Mo Ye. Bypassing the crowded Taoliu Street and coming to a slightly quieter long street, Lin Shan suddenly pushed away the two people who were holding him, rushed to the side of the street, and then bent over against the wall and vomited.

Fortunately, Xingfeng and Yan Xingzhi were both disciples of Shanshui Academy, and they had some kung fu foundation, so they were not pushed down by Lin Shan, who did not control his strength after drinking. But Mo Ye, who was carrying the lantern and was in charge of guiding the way, saw this scene, but he was worried and anxious and stomped his feet.

Xing Feng was just pushed back by Lin Shan, and when he saw Mo Ye's anxiety, he opened his mouth to comfort: "Senior Brother Mo, don't worry, my father is drunk like this." In fact, when the wine is spit out, people will feel better. ”

Yan Xingzhi's kung fu foundation is slightly weaker than the punishment wind, he was pushed by Lin Shan, and after standing firm, he couldn't help but sigh with his sleeves: "Alas, tonight's county seat, I don't know how many people's corners will be washed with wine." ”

Although Mo Ye knew that he was teasing, the corners of her eyebrows couldn't help twitching, and then she also teased: "I don't know if Senior Brother Yan regrets it now?" The one who spent a lot of money just now for a distant view turned out to be a drunkard. ”

Yan Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said: "There are disciples like this, for the respected teacher, I feel even more novel and respectable." ”

Mo Ye was speechless about this, and before she could tease again, on the other side, Lin Shan had already vomited. He leaned against the wall and turned around, his stomach empty, and the wine was a little sober. recognized that one of the three young men standing opposite was Mo Ye, so he shouted drunkenly in his words: "Ye'er, it's you!" ”

Mo Ye hurriedly approached, and at the same time pulled out a cotton cloth from his sleeve and wiped his mouth. Lin Shan saw Xingfeng and said again: "Xingfeng, it's you." ”

But when his gaze fell on Yan Xingzhi's face, he couldn't remember it for a while.

Although Lin Shan, who was sober, knew that Yan Xingzhi was Yan Guang's grandson, he had not seen Yan Xingzhi's appearance with his own eyes, so it was not surprising that he did not know him. At this time, he was too drunk, and he didn't think of this place for a while, thinking that he was dizzy and forgot who the other party was. So I saw that he looked at Yan Xingyi stunned, and couldn't tell the other party's name for a long time, so he had to rub his forehead, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Alas, I really drank too much today, and I can't even recognize who you are, guilty of sin." ”

Originally, in the face of this scene, Yan Xingzhi should have taken the initiative to introduce himself, but he didn't do it, he just walked to Lin Shan's side, held his arm like a familiar disciple, and then said with a smile: "Mr. is very drunk, and the cold is gradually rising in the middle of the night, so let the students send you home to rest quickly." ”

Lin Shan didn't say much to Yan Xing when he heard this, just nodded, and then let him and Xing Feng support him left and right, but Mo Ye couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Senior Brother Yan, it's enough to have me and Senior Brother Xing on the way back, tonight is enough to trouble you, you better go back early." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yan Xingzhi shook his head lightly, and then said: "Master Venerable is so drunk, only Senior Brother Xing has helped him along the way, which is too difficult." After a while, the senior brother will have to come back to pick up his father, and it will take a lot of effort, so let me help send this one. ”

Mo Ye found that there was sweat on both Xing Feng and Yan Xingzhi's foreheads, and she couldn't help but hesitate when she looked at her master who was falling on both sides of her walk. But soon she made a decision, and said to Yan Xingzhi with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry to trouble Senior Brother Yan again." ”

In this way, on this Lantern Festival night, which should have been lively, at the moment when the Lantern Festival had just turned on the primary lantern riddle, Lin Shan, who had promised to take Mo Ye to visit the Lantern Festival, was so drunk that he left the brightly lit Taoliu Street with the help of Xingfeng and Yan Xingzhi, and walked into the Baisha Avenue where although the moon was shining in the sky, it still looked a little cold and dim compared with the grand occasion of Taoliu Street.

Originally, seeing that the master was drunk like this, Mo Ye was going to ask a carriage to drive everyone back, but she didn't expect that at this time, it was the first wave of the county lantern festival, and the carriage and horse shed, which had only one or two people on duty during the day, was already empty at this time. In order to prevent the loss of carriages and horses by leaving no one behind, even the gate of the shed was locked.

And Yan Xingzhi was inconvenient to go back and call the family's carriage and horses back, he didn't want his family to know that he not only sneaked out of the house tonight, but also went elsewhere. Mo Ye naturally couldn't open his mouth to trouble him to this point.

So, under the cold moonlight, like a silver ribbon winding on the white sand road between the mountains that showed the dark color at night, the four figures swayed left and right in the direction of Xingjia Village.

Along the way, Lin Shan vomited twice. On the last stretch of the road, Xing Feng simply picked him up and strode to his feet. Yan Xingzhi watched from the sidelines and was greatly surprised by this.

Back in front of his house, Mo Ye stretched out his fingers and picked out a piece of wood embedded in the door on the door, and a slot appeared on the door. Then she took a cylindrical object from a cloth bag hanging from her waist, pointed it at the slot, and slapped it in. She heard a muffled "click" in the door, as if it was caused by friction between wooden blocks, and then she reached out and pushed the courtyard door open. Yan Xingzhi saw Mo Ye's quick and simple movements, and he was surprised in his heart.

The courtyard door of Mo Ye's house is not locked from the outside, but it is actually a spring lock. Yan Xingzhi had seen something similar before, so he could judge it with just one glance. From the outside, the mystery of this spring should be behind the door, and the reason why he was surprised was because in his impression, the characteristic of the spring lock was mysterious, and it was mostly used to protect certain objects. But its firmness is not as tough as an ordinary iron lock, so even the mansion of a high-ranking official will not use a machine spring to control the door - but why did the Mo Ye family lock the door in this way?

Taking the opportunity to turn around and close the door, Yan Xingzhi glanced at the back of the door a few times, but he found that there was nothing else on the back of the courtyard door except for the ordinary latch, and he couldn't help but wonder again. However, as his hand left the door panel, he suddenly realized that the thickness of the wooden door suggested that the spring of the door was actually hidden in the inner part of the door.

"It turned out to be a mezzanine." Yan Xingzhi secretly admired in his heart.

There was no time for him to think about anything else, on the other side, Mo Ye was already calling him.

Yan Xingzhi, who was about to knock on the door of the courtyard and listen to the sound, had to withdraw his hand, turned around and followed Mo Ye's beckoning into a room on the right side of the main house.

This room is Lin Shan's bedroom. With Mo Ye's help, Xing Feng moved Lin Shan from his back to the bed, and then Xing Feng sat on the chair next to him and took a few breaths.

Mo Ye helped Lin Shan remove his shoes and cover the quilt again, and then listened to Yan Xing's words: "Mr. drank wine and slept in clothes." ”

Mo Ye was stunned, and then she pushed Lin Shan hard, until she saw that he half-opened his eyes, and then said softly: "Master, we are going home, you get up and take off your clothes and go to sleep!" ”

Lin Shan sat up slowly, and began to undress according to his words, because his mind was chaotic, and he didn't have anything to say. It's just that when he lay down again, he suddenly sat up again and asked, "Ye'er, have you drunk the medicine today?" ”

Mo Ye was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that there were other people in the room, and the thoughts in her mind were racing, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Master, are you drunk and confused?" My cough got better early. ”

Of the four people present, only Yan Xingzhi didn't know about Mo Ye's medicine. And Xing Feng, as the only outsider among the four who knows the inside story, he also collaborated with Mo Ye to lie to Yan. At this time, he had already come back to his senses, and immediately stood up and said to Yan Xingzhi: "Senior Brother Yan, this place will be handed over to Senior Brother Mo, let's go to the flower hall to rest for a while." ”

Yan Xingzhi smiled and nodded: "It's okay." With that, he followed Xingfeng out to the main house.

Xing Feng and Mo Ye are neighbors and friends, so Yan Xingzhi doesn't feel so strange about Xing Feng's familiarity and casualness with Mo Ye's family. And what is now entrenched in his heart is another question, he is puzzled by the sentence "Have you drunk the medicine today". He felt that the meaning of the gentleman's tone when he was drunk always felt strange to him.

As soon as the two of them walked into the hall of the main house, they saw a flowery cat come out of the house, and they were so shocked that they both took half a step back and almost bumped into each other, and then the two smiled at each other again. During the New Year's Festival, every household usually has fish, flesh and fruit on the incense table, and in this village, if you are not careful and do not close the doors and windows, it is easy to attract wild cats and dogs to steal food.

The two glanced at a plate of half-overturned melon seeds on the small table in the flower hall, smiled at each other again, and then prepared to approach the table and sit down. At this time, the half-open door of a small room opposite the flower hall attracted Yan Xingzhi's attention, and he was about to sit down and stood up again
