Chapter 103: Matchmaking
Xiao Hong's departure was like a pebble thrown into Xi Ze by a child who was naughty for a while, only splashing a star, and then disappeared in an instant.
Only Zhou Chen shouted at Xu Yu with some regret in private, "It's a loss not to leave the kid surnamed Xiao behind, you should seal that kid's mouth first!" ”。
Zhou Manyun felt funny when he heard it at the time. For Zhou Chen, who hadn't had time to learn from the second uncle what it meant to kill his mouth, the three-plate axe he gagged was nothing more than keeping people by his side, eating and drinking well, and then pointed to a few beautiful maids in the house and promised, "Obedient, these are all yours." If you don't obey, the master will sell you to the Youzhu Pavilion......"
Xiao Hong will be coaxed by these?
Although Zhou Chen and his brothers thought a little simple, Man Yun still missed their love. Compared with their previous lives, these teenagers are much kinder and more upright, and they also make Man Yun cherish the beauty of the Zhou family, and he can't bear to let any external force pull the family that has embarked on the right path again.
In the dark room, a lamp like a bean, under the dim halo, Zhou Manyun took a knife with a small knife and cut a piece of fresh flesh on the case into neat and consistent two-inch square pieces of meat, as if it was cutting those unforgettable past events little by little.
Even if he understands that the current Xiao Hong is not exactly the one in his previous life, he is determined to eliminate his grievances, but the child he saw all the time in his previous life is a wound that Man Yun can never touch. and Xiao Hong regained the previous edge, became his wife in the name of righteousness, and gave birth to a child in the previous life together, such a stupid thought only turned in his mind, and Man Yun felt sick and sick to his stomach.
Life is restarted, but the soul is a whole, and the past life is a part of Zhou Manyun's present life. Simply cut off the past and put it aside, and Zhou Manyun will no longer be Zhou Manyun.
Zhou Manyun let out a long sigh. Straightened his waist and carefully smeared the small pieces of red dansha on the table into a black clay pot in front of him. The bottom of the black jar looks empty. In fact, there are hundreds of small black worms the size of rice grains wriggling inside, and they are sticky and sticky climbing on each other, and they can't tell the head and tail.
This insect is called mustard, and it grows on the deep bottom of a warm place, and usually only eats the carcasses of rotting grass carp at the bottom of the water, but if fresh flesh appears, it likes to attach to it and suck the blood. Because it is deep in the water, ordinary people do not know that even if some pearl divers or people who have fallen into the water are entangled and killed, there are corpses floating on the surface. All people see is a dead shriveled skin, and it is falsely rumored that there are water ghosts in such and such waters.
There are mustard insects at the bottom of the lake in Izawa.
As soon as the fresh meat is put into the can, the mustard insects, which are actually unable to see, immediately drill towards the meat pieces with their keen sense of smell, desperately seizing the territory. The blood that had been condensed on the flesh continued to seep out as the worm's body drilled.
The meat is mutton taken from the kitchen of Zeting Bezhuang, which belongs to a "surviving sheep" that originally escaped death in Baiheliang and was unfortunately killed by a butcher's knife after being brought back to Zhuangzi.
"Wouldn't it be more valuable to stay here than to fall into the belly of someone who says they can't bear to kill but eats happily, right?" , Man Yun stroked the clay pot that had just been sealed with wax. Asked softly.
The silver wrapped around her wrist tilted her head lightly, and her small black crystal-like eyes revealed a gluttonous longing. The mustard worms in the jar that like to suck blood were only pulled out of the bottom of the water in Xize, but except for a few fat ones that she ate during the poison test, the rest made Man Yun force to vomit into the water bowl.
"To officially become poisonous. I guess it will take three years, and I should add some other things halfway. Man Yun smiled and nodded the tail of the silver. Consultatively asked, "Silver, this is the first poison I have created myself." What's your name? ”
In addition to mastering the match taught by the master, self-innovating poison should also talk about the opportunity of a flash of inspiration. Man Yun, who has been struggling to think of a new poison. After Bai Heliang killed the sheep, he actually grasped the slightest desire to make drugs.
The poison that is being newly created is only an idea, but the real poison is unknown, and even if the poison is useful, there may be no chance that it will be used in this life.
Zhou Manyun closed his eyes, muttered a few words of prayer in his mouth, and his eyes opened again, flashing with a bright light like a star.
"Blood gauge!" , stretched out her fingers and wrote three words in the void on the tank, and she hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction.
Gauge glutinous is suckling sheep. The crow has the grace to feed, and the sheep has the righteousness of kneeling. If God has mercy on the opportunity, Man Yun still thinks that he can repay his father's thoughts of birth and upbringing, even if he wants to be honored as the Son of Heaven by the person who uses this poison, what about it?
"But I won't deliberately mess up my life and my family's life for revenge, Daddy, I think your spirit in the sky also hopes that your daughter can protect her mother and brother for a peaceful ...... life", Man Yun walked out of the room with a black clay pot in his arms, his expression solemn.
Outside the door, Xu Yu was waiting for the lamp, bored. Seeing Man Yun, who had been busy for most of the night, go out, he immediately greeted him with a smile, but after a while, he stretched the laugh lines on his face in the little girl's stiff face.
"I'm really bad, first I have a father who doesn't recognize his relatives when he closes the door and dispenses drugs, and then I have a girl who also let me guard the door for two or three hours as soon as I entered the house. I don't miss my brother's hard work and give me a cup of tea, and I don't even get a laugh line ......."
In a secluded corner of Zeting Bezhuang, Xu Yu kept complaining while digging a pit under an old acacia tree.
Zhou Manyun squatted to the side, watching Xu Yu lightly put the black clay pot into the soil, and pulled it out with a handful of floating soil.
"Don't bury me!" , Xu Yu shouted exaggeratedly. Although the pit is deep, it is no bigger than a jar, and it is impossible to bury people, so one of his arms is buried in it.
"This jar won't be dug up again until about a year later, and my brother won't be able to help me then." , Man Yun pursed his lips, looked at Xu Yu quietly and asked softly, "You also decided to leave with Master, didn't you?" ”
In the past two years, Xu Yu has gone north again and again, saying that he is exploring new roads by increasing his knowledge and knowledge, but through the trajectory he has drawn, Man Yun can guess that although Xu Ne is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he still has a connection with those thieves in Northern Chu in his previous life.
Xu Ne had already told her that he stayed in Jiangnan as if he was stuffed in the eternal rainy day, and he always wanted to go out for a walk. If fate is unavoidable, Man Yun, who is still a child, can't stop Xu Ne, who wants to go north.
Zhou Manyun secretly calculated the next day. I feel that I can still hope that before the defeat of Northern Chu or Xu Ne's entry into Luojing, his adult self has the ability to snatch Xu Ne back. But what is the fate of Xu Yu, who didn't know when he didn't see him in his previous life. She didn't know, and she was even more frightened.
"Hmm!". Xu Ne, who was burying the soil, replied angrily, and the little shovel that patted the soil changed his palm, with a little annoyance.
"Let's go back to Huocheng tomorrow, and the eldest aunt who goes back together may mention to Grandpa that she wants to promise Sister Manqing to you. If you marry her, you will be my brother-in-law. Manyun whispered. During the day, Xie Shi tried to talk to her, and she understood the hidden meaning at once, but she pretended to be ignorant and didn't answer it. But now I can't help but want to ask Xu Yu what he means.
"I understand that you don't have any thoughts about Sister Manqing, but all along, don't you want a stable home?" , Man Yun stared at Xu Yu cautiously, feeling apprehensive in his heart.
Xu Yu lowered his head and patted the already solid land without saying a word, all of which were gone. In his heart, the past few years of staying in Huocheng Zhou's house, compared to the torture and displacement he suffered before, it was a decent life. There are kind elders, lovely sisters, and family ......
The city gate of Huocheng was gradually approaching, and Xie Shi, who was sitting in the oil wall car, suddenly felt timid. He let go of the Buddhist beads that had been counted silently along the way, and his hand tightly grabbed the placket on his chest.
"...... Madam! Guizhi, who stayed in the car and served closely, whispered. With something hurting its kind of sorrow.
As Xie's self-friend, she is one of the few people who still stays with Xie's side. is no older than those maids who can still get married, and she can't leave if she marries someone from Zhou's house. In addition, her husband Thursday Ping also committed an accident, so he had to accompany Xie to stay up in Biezhuang for several years.
"Katsura Branch!" , Xie Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "When we come back this time, we will definitely stay in the city as much as we can." I've been filial enough in front of the old lady for years! ”
In the past, the Xie family obeyed his mother-in-law and aunt, Mrs. Zhou, but that was when the two of them could be masters of the Zhou Mansion.
There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and in the days of Zeting, the aunts, nephews, and daughters-in-law who were originally angry with Confucius gradually looked at each other, and the Xie family sometimes longed to have another bottle of Yuyanguang in his hand, so he simply let Mrs. Zhou drink it and die immediately, so that he could return to the mansion with a clear and honest attitude.
"Yes, the eldest young master's new daughter-in-law enters the door, you always have to teach the Liu family for a few years, and then you will bring the little brother ......", Gui Zhi comforted the Xie family and encouraged himself. In the eyes of the old lady, she and her husband are both Xie's private, so they can only go all the way to the dark and follow Xie closely.
"I'm afraid that the old lady will still annoy me......", Xie secretly lifted the curtain of the car, looked outside, and the figure of Xu Yu's horseback guard in front of the head of the team was in sight. She took a closer look before putting her hand down and said to Gui Zhi: "That matter between Xu Yu and Manqing, is it really wrong?" ”
"Madam, think about it, the third lady is just a girl from the second room, the second master is still in Huoshan Courtyard to quit drugs, and although the little Taoist priest is from a worse background, he can't stand his father's love of the old lady, and he accepted him as a righteous son, I heard that the old man is also very troublesome to choose a relationship for his father and son."
"Speaking of which, he is his father's grandson! Sister Qing is also a brother and sister. ”
"It is precisely because of this that the old lady didn't expect it, but the righteous grandson is always the righteous grandson, and this family is still married. Madam, you are tempting Sister Qing'er, isn't she also a little moved, it's just a matter of how to poke the window paper. Besides, we don't want their family affairs to be successful, that is, we want the old lady to know that you are planning for these juniors......"
Xie nodded slowly. Guizhi's persuasion was exactly what she was thinking, just listening to it again and gaining some confidence. Zeting she has stayed enough, she doesn't want to stay there any longer, and when Zhou Xian dies and Zhou Ke becomes home, she will come back to be Mrs. Tai in a young age.
"It's good that Sister Qing is interesting. I am a daughter-in-law to do some things, and the old man refuses to forgive me, but he is very painful for his grandchildren. After you go back, you still have to go to Sister Qing'er to walk around more. ”
Zhou Xian hated playing with yin medicine, so Xie made up his mind to take the bright road to protect the media. The hearts of young boys and girls are so provocative, as long as they have ideas, she is confident that she can facilitate family affairs.
The convoy stopped at the city gate, Xie Shi lifted the curtain again to look at each other, and happened to see the window of Manqing in front of him moving slightly, and Xu Yu leaned against the side of the car in response. She let out a long sigh of relief, and her face, which had been bitter for a long time, finally climbed into a trace of laugh lines. (To be continued......)
