Chapter 195: The Born Again
Pressing next to the window, Man Yunmu looked condescendingly at the suspected stalker.
Fang had been following Zhou Shen five or six feet away were two men dressed as servants in brown clothes and short coats, quietly tiptoeing behind but not avoiding pedestrians, in short, very sneaky.
Now a man with a pair of ears was stretching his neck downstairs, looking upstairs, staring straight at the long street where they followed Zhou Shen all the way. The other one, who was dressed similarly to him at first, should have gone to move reinforcements.
It's a pity that I am not familiar with the streets of Xiakou and can't get rid of people, so I can only take one step at a time. The top priority is to call the somewhat confused Zhou Shen back to his soul, otherwise he won't go far with a nerd.
Man Yun made up his mind and shouted loudly in the ear of Zhou Shen, who did not belong to the spirit.
When Zhou Shen raised his eyes to look at her, he cleared his throat helplessly and asked, "Fourth brother, didn't you follow Uncle Wen to Lin Hewen's house to meet you, why did you come to Xiakou?" ”
"Ahh Sister Yun? Zhou Shen held an empty porcelain cup in his hand, his eyes gradually became clearer, but he still answered the question, "Do you believe that there are people in this world who have come back from the dead?" ”,
Dead? Being poked straight into the only secret in this life that she wanted to bring into the coffin alone, Manyu's little heart involuntarily trembled a few times.
After swallowing his saliva violently, Man Yun stabilized his mind and put aside the others, and asked softly, "What strange thing has happened to the fourth brother?" ”
Maybe it's because the private room is secret and there are familiar family members, Zhou Shen, who was originally pale like a wandering soul on the street, returned some warm colors on his face, shook his head, and said by himself: "It should be that I recognized the wrong person." ”
"Fourth brother!" , Man Yun was disgusted and glanced obliquely under the window. There is also a stalker of unknown origin guarding downstairs, who knows if a large number of people will be waiting for the next moment.
Zhou was cautious. actually got Manyun's hint, and looked directly out of the window.
Man Yun's plain hand hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and was about to pull someone to smash the window in frustration, when he saw Zhou Shen raise his other empty hand and wave vigorously at the brown-clothed servant downstairs.
At this moment, it was Manyun's turn to froze.
The floor rattled in a moment. The brown-clothed man with a round face and ears entered the private room, and greeted Zhou Shen and his "sixth brother" with a relieved face.
"The little Hu Sanben is arranged by my master to serve the young master on Thursday. The four young people came out of the Xilin Zen Temple, and the little ones followed far behind with their companions, not daring to disturb each other. I don't know the young master Saturday in person, and I can't tell if it's the old acquaintance of the four young people or the villain, so the ward companions went back and called some more people??"
Hu San is a servant of the Xiakou Cai family, and the head of the family, Mr. Cai Xiyan, has been immersed in chess for decades, and he and Zhou Shen's teacher Wen Da are close friends in the black and white game.
In the eyes of Hu San, the proud master and his fellow friends are at some times a group of extremely unreasonable people.
After years of lessons. They did not dare to disturb their master when he suddenly became stupid without warning. If a greeting spoils that slightest hint of enlightenment, you will die.
Zhou Shen walked away in front of the shadow wall engraved with "Listening to the Rain" in Xilin Zen Temple, and Hu San and the others only thought that he was just like the young Master Cai who was here to watch the chess game and see the confusion.
Xiakou Xilin Zen Temple is in the city, the temple is not big, the world-famous is engraved with the "Listening to the Rain Bureau" in the Zen Temple.
Lu Feng, a former chess player, once trapped the temple in the rain, and simply pulled a chess trick to travel to the old monk, but he didn't want the monk to have a high chess power, and he played a game all night. Lu Feng was trapped in one move. wanted to push Ping to admit defeat, but the monk said that he didn't dare to accept it because of his solution. And wait for the long test of the backchess player.
Lu Feng couldn't do it for a while, so he got up and pushed the window. At this time, the sky is bright, the showers are resting, and only the residual rain under the eaves is like ripples. In the sound of ticking rain, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a chess move. When he turned around and fell, he found that the old monk who played last night was like a yellow crane and disappeared......
As Lu Feng obtained the name of chess saint in the previous dynasty, the descendants attached the monk who plucked him that night to become a fairy among the gods.
The legend is vague, but the "Listening to the Rain" engraved on the stone is true. And every year, there will always be three or two chess insects who lose their souls in front of the stone.
There was one more in front of me.
"I can't say that the fourth brother will be able to become a god and a saint in the future!" , Man Yun listened to Hu San's explanation, smiling all over his face. took out his pocket and rewarded him with a few money to buy wine, so that he still went downstairs to wait for his companions, so that the descendants of Cai Wen's family really regarded her as a kidnapper.
Relaxed and looking at the sun, Man Yun ordered a few dishes of vegetable soup and stuffed the dishes and chopsticks into Zhou Shen's hands.
No matter how prosperous the world is, there will always be a group of people in the world who have a share of fireworks that do not eat the world.
It's like Zhou Shen, who has been repeatedly warned not to go to Jiangbei, and his teacher, Mr. Wen, know that there is chaos in the north, but when they heard that some chess friends who had taken refuge in the south from Luojing gathered at Cai's house in Xiakou, they took the initiative to run over.
If it is difficult to survive in the world, these idiots who are not afraid of life and death when they talk about what they like are simply a group of people who add to the chaos, but there must always be some clean and pure beauty in the world that is not involved in the world.
Man Yunjing looked at Zhou Shen for a while, and said with a toothy smile: "The fourth brother just asked me if I believe that people are reborn, but in the temple, I listened to the monk talk about the old monk who played chess with the land chess saint and was not very human, but was possessed by the crazy chess monk four hundred years ago?" ”
Zhou Shen paused in mid-air, then slowly put his hand down, then shook his head and said astringently: "No." I'm ashamed to say that I didn't get fascinated by chess before listening to the rain game, but thought I really saw a dead person. ”
"Who does the fourth brother think he saw?"
Zhou Shen glanced at Man Yun hesitantly, and then whispered in his mouth: "Xue Suyun." ”
"Xue Suxuan?" , Zhou Manyun blinked in surprise, and then curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "People are similar, and the fourth brother only saw her when she was a teenager, maybe she was mistaken." ”
Back then, because of the marriage with Gao Zhou, he faked the drama of "Xue Sujun" throwing himself into the river in Hezhou, and Xue Sujun, who originally thought that he would be "dead" like that, might come forward to refute the rumors one day, but he didn't want the main protagonist to quietly disappear like the real dead.
Back then, when this matter was in the Zhou family, Man Yun only explained it to the old lady and his mother from beginning to end, and for others, like the people in the market, Xue Suyun committed suicide by throwing himself into the water for emotional distress.
If according to the lingering strength of Gao Xue and the two in the previous life, Xue Sujun should also be in Xiakou at this time. It's just that Gao Wei is now married to Manyin. Last year, I accepted a concubine surnamed Wang, plus Xue Sujun, it was much more lively than in the previous life.
In his heart, Man Yun was actually suspicious of Xue Sujun who Zhou Shen recognized, but he didn't want to mention it again.
"Perhaps, there are really people who are similar!" , Zhou Shen, who was sitting opposite, listened to Man Yun's persuasion. Stunned, he sighed and said, "Maybe it's because that woman looks similar to Xue Suyun that she followed her cousin." ”
"Cousin? You mean high-dimensional? ”
"Hmmm! Sister Yun, when I saw the woman who looked like Xue Suxuan, I also saw my cousin! Xilin Zen Temple carved the stone wall of the rain bureau and then to the flower forest, I was a little tired from watching chess, I wanted to go to the shade of the tree for a walk, but I saw Xue Sujun.
She stood under the tree in a light akane summer shirt and smiled, and the man standing next to her was her cousin. I thought she had come out of the underworld and re-entangled with his female ghost. ”
The little girl who had a great affection for her when she was a teenager but quickly separated may admit her mistake when she grows up, but her own cousin. Zhou Shen is confident that he will not be mistaken.
"You met them?" , Man Yun, who had been asking questions gently, finally brought some anxiety in his tone.
"Nope! When I saw it, my mind was buzzing, so I turned around and left. Really, they shouldn't have seen me! ”
"It's best if you don't see them!"
Man Yun unabashedly disdain, as well as the tone of blessing of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, lightly sprinkled a handful of salt on Zhou Shen's heart.
Since the death of the old lady Zhou, although Manyin married the Gao family. But the movement between the Zhou family and the Gao family is almost zero, and even his mother Gao stubbornly no longer cares about her mother's family affairs.
But anyway. The Gao family is Zhou Shen's foreign family.
Looking at the faint shame and indignation on Zhou Shen's face, Zhou Manyun bit his lip and said simply: "Fourth brother! I'll tell you the truth, the woman you see today should be Xue Suyun. She didn't die at all back then. But I don't know how she got into Gao Wei again! ”
Telling the truth is less troublesome than concealing it. Especially Zhou Shenzheng is sandwiched between the two families of Zhou Gao.
Man Yun tore Gao Xue's old matter to Zhou Shen in one go.
Zhou Shen listened quietly. The eyes were full of astonishment.
"Then she might be her cousin's outer chamber now? If the cousin spoils the concubine and kills his wife, what should the fifth sister do? ”
"Manyin is already the daughter-in-law of the Gao family. Deal with the affairs of the concubine's house, you can't manage it, and you are not allowed to manage it! Manyun persuaded others more simply and decisively than himself.
Stopped for a long time. Zhou Shencai let out a long sigh and said, "I just thought that back then, we had to return to our hometown after escaping death from Fengjin together...... On the big night when the thieves attacked, just a few of us sat in the dark room and leaned against each other......"
He didn't know that for these children of the Zhou family, they were actually lucky to be reborn almost at the same time in Fengjin City, which was actually in the fifteenth year of Yongde.
There was a faint glint in Man Yun's eyes.
"Sister Yun! Don't worry, I won't go to Gao's house. When Mr. has made friends, he will return to Huocheng immediately! Seeing that his sister was a little sad, Zhou Shen immediately gave a promise without waiting for her to tell her again.
Zhou Manyun on the other side nodded silently.
A meal of unexpected reunion between brothers and sisters thousands of miles away, because it mentioned people and things that made people difficult to swallow, it couldn't help but be a little boring.
After a hasty meal, Zhou Shen, who was no longer in a daze, took the initiative to reach out and pick up the package that Man Yun was carrying.
And the Cai Mansion carriage and horse, which were parked outside the restaurant while they were eating, were already waiting outside the door with Hu Sanyi.
Zhou Shen invited Man Yun to live with him in Cai's Mansion, Man Yun thought about it carefully, but he didn't hurry to find Yun Jinfan's dark spot again, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, even if it was to leave a secret back road for himself.
It is also a good thing to be able to watch Zhou Shen from the Cai Mansion and let him return to Jiangnan as soon as possible before July.
I was surprised to see that the troubles of the old man were temporarily unloaded by Zhou Shen and put on Man Yun's shoulders.
Zhou Manyun and Zhou Shen got into the same carriage and went to Cai's Mansion together, and as soon as the wheels moved, a servant in Tsing Yi at the corner snack stall on the side of the restaurant immediately dropped the bowl and three copper coins in his hand and trotted away in the opposite direction.
