Chapter 137 The night is dark and the wind is high
It is also late at night, and it is also the time period of the end of the second and third watches. But at this time, the county town was basically lit up everywhere, there was no trace of falling asleep, and many people could still be seen playing on the street.
This is mainly because it is twenty-six or seven days after the beginning of summer, nearly a month, so the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no rain for nearly half a month, and the weather is dry and sultry.
Therefore, the weather is dry and muggy, making it difficult for people to sleep, so it is better to go out and chat for fun, or sit at a tuyere, by the pool, which will also make people much cooler.
However, it is impossible for everyone to find a place to cool off, such as those who are still on duty at this point, and they are still patrolling the streets to see if there are any accidents.
The weather is dry and sultry, it is easy to have a fire, a fire in the city, as long as a building is on fire, the surrounding buildings next to it are not spared, if the wind is lit together in the process of fire, the fire will only get bigger and bigger, the more difficult it is to control.
Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, as long as people have not fallen asleep, the official on duty cannot leave work.
In addition to this, there are also some outsiders in the county town, and among these outsiders, some of them are irritable, or they drink two or three catties of muddy water, and they don't even know who they are, so they can't take refuge and get into trouble.
Although most of the Han people look down on those outsiders, the main reason is that these people lack the teaching of etiquette, so they don't know how to be barbaric. Therefore, in order not to let the Han people be bullied, and not to embarrass these outsiders, etc., it is to prevent these things.
Inside the Tang Mansion, the same lights were bright, and there was no sign of falling asleep. In the small courtyard where Li Yan, Tang Shishi and others lived, everyone sat together one after another.
However, Li Yan was not with them, but alone in the room, not knowing what to toss.
Tang Xiu glanced at Li Yan's room and said, "This Brother Yan has entered his room, it's been almost a quarter of an hour, why hasn't he come out yet?" ”
"I guess I'm busy with something, or maybe I'm just asleep." Wen Jing also glanced at Li Yan's room and explained.
"No, it won't." When Wen Monkey heard what his sister said, he was slightly shocked and said, "Didn't Brother Yan go to bed after the third watch in the past?" It's not been a three-time shift yet. ”
Wen Jing shook her head when she heard her brother's words: "I don't know about this. ”
Only Tang Shishi knew about Li Yan going out tonight, and neither Wen Jing nor Tang Xiu, Tang Xiu, Wang Yan and others knew about it. This is mainly because they don't know and won't ask, and Li Yan and Tang Shishi don't say it.
"Isn't it almost the third shift, Brother Yan is dealing with the trouble of the house outside today, I believe he is also very tired, so it's not impossible to go to bed early." Wang Yan made an analysis and said the possibility that Li Yan should fall asleep early.
The things that Li Yan handled in the house today, Wen Jing, Wang Yan and others also understood and inquired when they saw Li Yan. So when Wang Yan said this, the rest of the people also nodded in agreement, expressing their agreement with what Wang Yan said.
And just as everyone was talking, the door of Li Yan's room opened. Li Yan was dressed in a very simple dress, and it was still black, he came out of the room, and now outside the door, he looked at Tang Shishi, Wen Jing, Tang Xiu and others not far away, and walked over directly.
Li Yan's door was opened, and Tang Shishi and the others who were sitting not far away also knew it, mainly because there were voices from the people who opened the room, and they also glanced at Li Yan's door from time to time. So it's a bit difficult to know what you don't know.
However, seeing Li Yan wearing a plain black dress, they suddenly didn't know what Li Yan was going to do. You said that it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, and it was about to go to bed, why were you still wearing black.
When he saw Li Yan's family coming to them, Tang Xiu asked curiously, "Brother Yan, what are you doing this big night?" It's weird to look at. ”
"Huh." When Li Yan heard Tang Xiu ask, he just chuckled twice and didn't explain, didn't explain what he was going to do, but said to Tang Shishi: "Sister Shishi, wait for Uncle Tang and Uncle Tang to ask me where I'm going, you can just tell them the truth." ”
Tang Shishi saw Li Yan looking at her, her face turned slightly red, and she looked at Li Yan a little embarrassed. This is mainly because of what happened during the day. Now he looked at Li Yan embarrassedly, but when he heard what Li Yan said, he still directly bowed his head slightly and said: "Don't worry, as long as my mother and father ask, I will tell the truth." ”
When Li Yan heard Tang Shishi's words, he nodded and didn't say anything, but walked out of the small courtyard one after another and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After Li Yan left, Tang Xiucai looked at Tang Shishi and asked, "Sister Shishi, what is this Brother Yan going to do?" God mysterious. ”
This is not only Tang Xiu looking at Tang Shishi, but even Wen Jing's sisters and brothers, Wang Yan, Tang Lan and others are also looking at Tang Shishi in unison, wanting to know what Li Yan is going to do when he goes out this big night.
Li Yan saw the expressions on everyone's faces that they wanted to know, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, it's not a thing, it's Commander Chen Meng Chen who asked him to go out and help do something, so I don't know what the matter is." ”
Tang Shishi didn't know what was going on, didn't Li Yan go out just to find trouble with Gaibei, but the reason why he didn't want to explain it was that he didn't want these people to worry. Otherwise, before Li Yan came back, the people in this house who didn't sleep well tonight might be much better.
So if you know this thing, you can bear their worries. However, Tang Shishi is not too worried, he knows Li Yan's skills, and there is a Chen Meng by his side, and he wants to move Li Yan, which is completely looking for death.
But how did Tang Shishi know that she didn't explain, but it caused Wen Jing and Wang Yan to worry even more. Although they knew Li Yan's skills and knew that Chen Meng was accompanying them, they were still a little worried. However, it was useless for them to worry, because whether they knew it or not, they couldn't help Li Yan.
However, in addition to the worries of the women, Tang Xiu said with resentment: "Looking at Brother Yan's dress, how is it a bit like the night clothes inside, it seems that Brother Yan must have gone out to have fun." Brother Yan is really, he doesn't take me with him when he goes out to play, it's really not interesting. You say no, monkey. ”
Tang Xiu said here and touched the Wen monkey. Wen Monkey nodded at Tang Xiu's touch, which could be regarded as agreeing with Tang Xiu's statement.
And Tang Shishi heard Tang Xiu's words, and glared at him angrily, she really didn't understand that this Tang Xiu was already in his twenties, how could he only know how to play every day. And if Li Yan takes him there, it will be a burden, and there will be a lot of words, so I can't guarantee that this kid will do anything out of the ordinary.
"Okay, it's so late, let's go to sleep." Tang Shishi glanced at everyone and said, "Tomorrow you have to get up early to go to the study, so don't play too late." ”
After Tang Shishi finished speaking, she took the lead in getting up and walked towards her room, ignoring everyone. When Sister Wen Jing, Wang Yan, Tang Lan and the others saw this, they didn't say anything, they all got up and walked towards the room.
When Tang Xiu heard Tang Shishi's words, he howled, sighed, and had to go back to his room. He himself wanted to know what Li Yan was doing tonight, and he could only wait to see Li Yan tomorrow when he asked.
The dialogue here and what happened are unknown to Li Yan, who came out of the small courtyard. Li Yan walked directly out of the gate of the Tang Mansion, and found that in a dark place on the wall of the Tang Mansion, there was a person standing. If you don't look closely, or if you have good eyesight, it's hard to spot this person at all.
And the person standing in the shadow of this house wall, after seeing Li Yan come out, also came out to Li Yan, bowed slightly, and said, "Childe, do you want to leave now?" ”
This person is none other than Chen Meng. Chen Meng has been here for nearly a quarter of an hour, and he has been waiting for Li Yan. And Chen Meng is also dressed in black, obviously also in night. However, the quality of this nightwalk is much better than Li Yan's, and the cloth used is also of high quality. And Li Yan's is made of poor quality cloth segments.
