163, [Sugar and Fire]
Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang were not awakened in the wind and rain of the city, but after hearing a few knocks on the door. The door was opened, and the little four probes in, with a round face and round eyes, looking in the direction of the bed.
There were originally two beds in Zhanzhao's house, but recently, the two of them seemed to fall asleep close together, so that one was basically used by Xiao Wu.
Zhan Zhao had already woken up, leaning on the bed with his face sideways and supporting his cheeks to look at Bai Yutang's sleeping face.
Seeing the little fourth son push the door in, he hooked his finger at him.
Xiao Sizi got into the room, closed the door gently, and then ran to the bed, took off his shoes and climbed into bed.
Bai Yutang naturally woke up, glanced at the little fourth son who crawled over his belly, got into Zhao's arms, and continued to sleep.
The little fourth son sat in the middle of Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, lying down, holding his cheeks with both hands to look at the two.
Zhan Zhao still maintained the posture just now, holding his cheeks in one hand and pinching a strand of Bai Yutang's hair in the other, and asked the little fourth son, "What's the matter, little fourth son?" β
Xiao Sizi looked at Bai Yutang, who was sleeping on the side, came to Zhanzhao, and asked, "Cat." β
"Huh?" Zhan Zhao rubbed the face of the little fourth son with Bai Yutang's hair.
Xiao Sizi rubbed his face and asked seriously, "I have something to ask you." β
"Ask." Zhan Zhao seems to be in a good mood.
"Yesterday, you ...... with Bai Bai" Before the fourth son finished speaking, Bai Yutang next to him moved.
Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, and shook Xiao Sizi's face with a handful of his hair, "What? β
"Did you two kiss yesterday?" The little fourth son asked with his face in his hand, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to answer. β
"Well, what is this......" Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, and said in his heart, Ming people don't do dark things, they dare to admit if they dare to do it, so they nodded, "Yes, kiss your mouth." β
"Do you like it for nothing?" The little fourth son opened his mouth wide, and he felt that Bai Yutang beside him seemed to move again.
Zhan Zhao shook his hair, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I like it." β
"Oh......" Xiao Sizi held his face and nodded, but Bai Yutang beside him froze.
The fourth child tugged on Bai Yutang's clothes again, leaned on Bai Yutang's shoulder and asked, "Bai Bai, do you also like cats?" β
Bai Yutang finally opened his eyes and shook his head gently.
The little fourth son was stunned, and Zhanzhao also blinked.
Bai Yutang looked at Xiao Sizi and said unhurriedly, "I don't like cats, I like Zhanzhao." β
β¦β¦
"Ahem." Zhan Zhao coughed lightly twice, his cheeks turned crimson, and he reached out to scratch his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but provoke.
Bai Yutang's face was relatively calm, but his ears were also red, and the two looked around, their eyes met by chance, and they hurriedly looked elsewhere.
"Oh, that's nice." Xiao Sizi held his chin and sighed, with a look of envy.
Zhan Zhao asked him puzzled, "What's wrong?" You're only a few years old, so you sigh. β
"Hmm." Xiao Sizi frowned, his face depressed, "You two are fine, what is it called?" The two love each other or something. β
Zhan Zhao looked at the sky again, and Bai Yutang also scratched his chin...... The ears are red and hot.
"When will Daddy fall in love with Ninety-Nine?" Xiao Sizi held his chin and continued to sigh.
Zhan Zhao sounded a little fresh, and asked, "Your father and Zhao Pu?" β
"yes." The little fourth son nodded, "The little fourth son likes Jiujiu and wants his father to marry Jiujiu." β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, Bai Yutang poked the little fourth son's round buttocks, and asked, "So you want to match your father and Zhao Pu?" β
"Uh-huh." The little fourth son nodded vigorously.
Zhan Zhao was also a little embarrassed, "Isn't Gongsun always quarreling with Zhao Pu." β
"yes." The little fourth son cried with a sad face, "Daddy knows how to scold Jiujiu, and then Jiujiu calls Daddy a nerd." β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other again, how can I say it, the goal of the fourth son is not easy to achieve, between Gongsun and Zhao Pu...... Are there any signs of this? Although the two of them are always noisy on weekdays, Gongsun knows that he sees a doctor and takes care of children, and Zhao Pu is even more unreliable, in addition to being busy every day...... is to provoke the grandson to jump to his feet, or to help take the little fourth son. However, the two of them always revolve around each other, and they don't know if they are destined or enemies.
All three were worried.
The fourth son lay on Zhanzhao's arm, dangling his two legs, "I asked my father when I went back yesterday, if there is a person in Kaifeng Mansion that he can kiss, who will he kiss." β
The corners of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's mouths twitchedβthis kid ......
"Then who does your father want to kiss?" Bai Yutang was curious.
The little fourth son pointed at himself with a flat mouth.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang can understand, but isn't it, Gongsun kisses the fourth son every day.
"You didn't ask who else he wanted to kiss besides you?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Yes." The fourth child was depressed, "Daddy was stunned for a while, and then shook his head and said, 'Don't ask about messy children'!" β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were clear and curious, "Did you ask Zhao Pu?" β
"I also asked, and I slipped into room ninety-nine in the middle of the night." The little fourth son pouted, "I asked Jiujiu who I wanted to kiss in Kaifeng Mansion, and Jiujiu was stunned for a while like a father, and then began to pound the bed board." β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are puzzled - what is wrong with Zhao Pu? What do you do with the bed board?
The little fourth son got up, sat cross-legged, and hugged his arms, "Then I was kicked out by Jiujiu." β
"Little fourth." Zhan Zhao said, "This kind of thing, it's not easy to be reluctant, you just said it, pay attention to mutual affection." β
Xiao Sizi squinted, "But they are worthy!" I'm the most accurate person! β
Zhan Zhao smiled and pinched his cheek, "Oh? Do you think it's accurate? β
"That's it, the first time I saw you and Bai Bai, I thought you two were a match!" Xiao Sizi looked serious, "It's as if I think Zou Zou and Xiao Linzi are a good match, and Daddy and Jiujiu are also a good match!" Then ......" said, the little fourth son twisted his face a little embarrassedly, "The little fourth son is also a good match for the little Liangzi!" β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both amused by the little four.
At this time, there was a sound of laughter outside, it seemed that everyone was getting up one after another, and Kaifeng City outside Kaifeng Mansion was also lively, and the sky was bright.
Xiao Sizi suddenly pounced and grabbed Zhanzhao's arm, "Cat! β
Zhanzhao startled him and looked at him, "What's the matter?" β
"You can help me match Daddy and Jiujiu!" The little fourth son said seriously, "I invite you to eat sugar!" β
Zhanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, the little fourth son still wanted to use sugar to bribe himself to help......
"Little fourth son, you can't find me, I'm not a matchmaker." Zhan Zhao was helpless.
"Matchmaker?" The little fourth son tilted his head, "Is it okay to find a matchmaker?" β
"Uh......" Zhan Zhao didn't know how to explain this kind of thing to the little fourth child, "This kind of thing pays attention to fate, and it's best to go with the flow." β
The little fourth son tilted his head again, "Shunqi cumin?" β
Zhan Zhao nodded, and dragged Bai Yutang, who was getting dressed and about to get up.
Bai Yutang saw Xiao Sizi looking up at himself with his face up, and nodded, "Well, let it be." β
So, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both got up, and the little fourth son sat on the bed and tilted his head and thought, "Matchmaker...... Shunqi cumin? β
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Yutang went to open the door, and Gongsun was at the door and asked, "Did the little fourth son come to your house?" β
Bai Yutang pointed to him on the bed.
Gongsun was helpless, "Little fourth son, you ran around early in the morning, and my father was looking for you everywhere!" β
Xiao Sizi raised his face, stretched out his hands, was picked up by Gongsun, and went out, Xiao Sizi put his arms around Gongsun's neck and thought about it......
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought that this article would be turned over, but they never expected that for a four-and-a-half-year-old child, "matchmaker and let it be" can be understood in many different ways......
In the compound, everyone gathered for breakfast and prepared to start the day.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised-the little fourth son was very tight-mouthed, and he didn't go out to talk nonsense. However, the two of them knew that the fourth son might be studying the matter of matching Gongsun and Zhao Pu, so they forgot about this stubble, and when he remembered it one day, maybe the East Window incident would happen, so the mentality of the two of them was adjusted from waiting for the wind and rain in the city to waiting for the East Window Incident.
However, what also made the two of them curious was Tianzun......
Tianzun also saw it yesterday, but he didn't seem to say anything, because this morning Yin Hou was in the same state as usual, and there was nothing special to say, and Hong Jiuniang and the others didn't come to gossip.
As Yin Hou drank the porridge, he saw that Tianzun seemed to be restless, and patted him puzzled, "Hey, what are you doing?" β
"Hmm......" Tianzun looked like a child, touching his head and seemed very uneasy, "I really want to forget something important." β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, didn't they forget what they saw last night because they were too shocked?
Bai Yutang thought it was impossible, Tianzun had basically forgotten some things that had been around for a long time, and if it was last night, he would have forgotten it this morning...... Although it didn't happen before, for example, if you ask him what he had for dinner last night, he will definitely not remember, but such a big thing, he will forget?!
Gongsun went over, touched Tianzun's pulse, and then looked at him puzzled, "You're in good health, what have you forgotten?" β
"I don't remember!" Tianzun said, glancing at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "It's all your fault!" β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned.
"If it weren't for the two of you last night...... Not. Before Tianzun finished speaking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.
Tianzun was blocked and pounded in the chest.
Yin Hou laughed, "Are you two going to kill this old man?" β
Bai Yutang hurriedly took out the steamed bun in Tianzun's mouth and handed him water.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Yin Hou, and saw him continue to drink porridge with a smile, winking at him.
Zhan Zhao was embarrassed - it can be seen that Tianzun forgot not the stubble last night, and he went back to share it with his grandfather, but his grandfather reacted calmly.
Bai Yutang fed Tianzun two mouthfuls of water, and saw Tianzun squinting at himself, what did it mean - unfilial piety!
Bai Yutang was helpless, patted him on the sip of tea, and asked, "What have you forgotten?" β
"I don't remember!" Tianzun scratched his ears and cheeks.
While others here are more curious - last night? What did Zhan Showa Hakuyudo do last night?
"That's right." Bai Yutang remembered it and asked Tianzun, "You came to my room last night and said what did you think of?" β
Tianzun blinked, and then he felt that what he had forgotten was about to come out, so he scratched his head again.
Zhan Zhao asked the little fourth son who was poking an egg listlessly on the side, "Little fourth son, didn't you come with Tianzun yesterday?" Did he tell you anything? β
"Huh?" Xiao Sizi raised his face and asked, "Last night, you and Bai Bai ...... last night Not. β
The little fourth son didn't say anything, and was stuffed into his mouth by Zhanzhao again.
The little fourth son chewed the bun and skipped the kiss last night, don't you want to let people know? Oh, maybe shy, how do you say that? Don't say anything about indecency......
Everyone was even more curious - what did Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang do last night?
Xiao Sizi finished eating the fried buns and said, "I was in the yard yesterday, Zunzun hugged me and said that he thought of an important thing to tell Baibai and Maomao, and then he was afraid that he would forget, so he told me first and asked me to help remember." β
Yin Hou nodded, "Good idea." β
"What's that?" Gongsun asked the little fourth son.
"What did you say, the masked man he knew, so familiar." Xiao Sizi said, touching his chin and seeming to think, "What did he say that person's name......
Everyone stared at the little fourth son, "What? β
Xiao Sizi frowned and thought with his face up.
Marquis Yin asked Tianzun, "Is this the case?" β
"Yes!" Tianzun nodded seriously.
"And you remember now?" Yin Hou then asked.
"Hmm!" Tianzun then nodded.
"And who is that person?" Bai Yutang asked.
Tianzun was silent for a moment, and then raised his face, similar to the movements of the little fourth son, and began to think.
Everyone felt that they were stuck in the esophagus just after eating breakfast, and they couldn't get down, so they couldn't get down...... What kind of memory is this old and young!
Gongsun was also helpless, helping the little fourth son rub his stomach, afraid that he would choke, and said that Tianzun is too, you should tell someone who understands, tell the little fourth son that this is not looking for trouble.
"Ahh
When everyone was in a hurry, Xiao Sizi clapped his hands, "His name is Copper Bell." β
"Brass bells?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Bell name?" β
The fourth son asked Tianzun, "Isn't it?" β
As soon as the name "Copper Bell" came out, Tianzun completely remembered it, nodded, and said, "If you think of it, it's him!" β
Yin Hou was puzzled, "Who is it?" β
Tianzun asked Bai Yutang, "Don't you remember him?" β
At this time, Bai Yutang frowned and said to himself, "Copper Bell ......"
"You gave him the name." Tianzun sighed.
Bai Yutang raised his head, "He...... It seems a bit like that, yes, it's connected to what I thought of yesterday. β
"What did you think of yesterday?" Zhan Zhao also remembered, Bai Yutang should have thought of something when he turned around yesterday, but he was interrupted by that thing later.
Thinking of this, Zhanzhao coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Bai Yutang also coughed.
Everyone squinted - these two people were acting suspiciously!
"When my eyes were a little blurry yesterday, didn't I look at those two jade pendants?" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao nodded.
The crowd then wondered - what would be the musy of the eyes?
Bai Yutang naturally skipped the part where Zhan Zhao blinded him, and continued, "I remember that when I was a child, there was a person from Tianshan who was a storyteller. β
Tianzun nodded.
"Storyteller?" Everyone wondered, "What is the storyteller doing in the Tianshan Mountains?" β
"The storyteller was probably only in his teens, and he was carrying a box selling candy." Bai Yutang said, "It's similar to what I saw in the market." β
Everyone knows that there are indeed many storytellers who sell candy, carrying a box and telling a book, and there are many people gathered, and some children say that they want to sell sugar, so they will make some candy people or something to sell, and make a living.
"That storyteller carried a flat shoulder all the way from the Central Plains to the Tianshan Mountains, wanting to worship me as a teacher." Tianzun said, "But I had already accepted the Yutang back then, and I didn't look down on other apprentices, so I rejected him." β
Everyone nodded, I see.
"But when the young man climbed the Tianshan Mountain, he had a lot of frostbite on his body, and he was also emaciated and sick, so I thought it was not easy for him, so I left him in the Tianshan Mountain to recuperate." Tianzun said, "During his recuperation, he often made candy people or candy gadgets for Yutang. β
Everyone was stunned, imagining Bai Yutang eating candy...... I always feel so disobedient.
Bai Yutang held his chin, "In addition to telling stories well, the sugar man is also doing a good job, especially the dragon and wind made of sugar, which is very beautiful." The orange syrup is like glass, the Tianshan Mountains are cold, it will not melt after freezing, it is inserted in front of the window, and it is in a good mood to look at it every day. β
"And then?" Bao Zheng was puzzled, "Is that person the copper bell?" β
Bai Yutang nodded, "I asked him what his name was, and he said he forgot, let me pick one for him." We were sitting at the bottom of the pavilion, and the brass bells hanging in the eight corners of the pavilion were clanging in the wind, so I said, "That's called a brass bell." β
"Oh, that's how it's called the brass bell." Xiao Liang nodded.
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang, what does that mean-you were a child? What is it called? Why don't you call it Dingdong or Dingdong......
Bai Yutang was speechless - at that time, he was only the size of the fourth son, and everyone was seventeen or eighteen, and this vinegar and this cat also ate it?!
Zhan Zhao silently used chopsticks to clip a soup bag and dipped it in vinegar!
"Tianzun." Master Bao asked Tianzun, "It's been so many years, and that person was just a teenager at that time, are you sure?" β
"He walks in a similar way." Tianzun said lightly, "I can see that he looks like he worships me as a teacher, but I can't accept him, he is very lonely when he leaves, and his back is very similar to what he looked like yesterday." β
Bai Yutang nodded, "What I thought of yesterday was that when I was dazzled, I saw that the jade pendant of the fast dragon was a little mushy, and then the phoenix jade pendant was broken, it felt like the sugar man I saw when I was a child, I remember that I also broke a few pieces at that time, and he put it in the furnace to melt it, and then gave it to me when it was ready."
Zhanzhao continued to eat xiaolongbao dipped in vinegar - don't you need to be so considerate!
Bai Yutang silently added some vinegar to his plate.
"Now that I think about it." Bai Yutang said to Tianzun, "It's really like him." β
Yin Hou frowned and looked at Tianzun, "You too, how good it was to accept him back then, people come all the way, do you want to collect an extra one." β
Tianzun glanced at him, "Where can the apprentice collect it indiscriminately...... Actually, then again, he's got a good talent, but ......."
"But what?" Everyone asked.
"Well, what should I say?" Tianzun touched his chin, "At that time, I thought he was a little evil. β
"Evil spirit?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "A teenager?" β
"He's really different." Bai Yutang said, seeing that Zhanzhao was about to pour vinegar into the porridge bowl, he hurriedly answered, "He is always expressionless and preoccupied, and sometimes, it is a little scary." β
"Scary?!" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "What kind of scary method?" β
"He likes to set fires." Bai Yutang frowned, "Or rather, he likes to play with fire, I often see him holding a candle or an oil lamp, touching the flame with his fingers, as if he is not afraid of the heat." β
Everyone was puzzled - it was strange.
"Another reason why I didn't accept him was because of his physique," Tianzun said, "He is not suitable for practicing Extreme Cold True Qi, he is the foundation of the fire attribute, and I also told him at the time that let him find the right person to worship the right teacher, and he will make great achievements in the future." β
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, was that murderer really a copper bell? That has nothing to do with Chen Mao's seemingly unrelated relationship back then, and what does it have to do with the furnace, the golden ancient city, and this large number of city destruction cases?
