Volume 1 Northwest Wind Chapter 29 Beauty Under the Moon
Seeing that Jiang Lan's expression was becoming more and more strange, Zhao Xian hurriedly snorted: "Look at Xiaguan's mouth!" You've just arrived, so you should get acquainted with it first...... Come with me, sir, in front of you is the main hall, where you can do your official business......"
Jiang Lan was taken to visit the front and back yards, and along the way, Zhao Xian introduced various housing facilities to him in detail. However, his mind was not on this at all, and he nodded yes from beginning to end.
Zhao Xian also noticed Jiang Lan's absent-mindedness, and after visiting the yamen, he immediately arranged a residence for him in the back hall, and then said goodbye and went home.
Lying alone in the room, Jiang Lan was extremely depressed in his heart.
I didn't listen to the advice of my father-in-law and master, and insisted on going down the mountain to pursue my life experience. As a result, not only did nothing be found, but they were also caught in a series of conspiracies...... It's even better now, I wanted to hide in the barracks to avoid trouble, but I was kicked out to see the warehouse because I offended the main general!
"What kind of life is this, master!"
I was depressed at the bottom of my heart, and my body became extremely uncomfortable. There is an evil fire in my heart, and I must find a way to vent it.
He rolled over and got out of bed, came to the courtyard outside the door, pulled out his fists and feet, and began to punch. This fight, fists and fists, and the moves are interlocking. The seven-foot-tall body is like a swimming dragon, with fists and feet whistling in the wind, and every blow is like a thousand pounds! It was an hour to do that.
After a set of punches, Jiang Lan's whole body was sweating, and his heart was also a lot more comfortable. He looked up at the sky, it was almost evening at this time, and he was bored before, but now after fighting for a long time, he was already slightly hungry in his abdomen.
He wanted to go out for a bite to eat, but he didn't feel safe going out like that. So he went back to his room and studied his face in front of the bronze mirror......
In less than half an hour, Jiang Lan walked out of the door, at this time his face was full of freckles, his chin was full of beards, two thick eyebrows were connected into a line, and there was a big black mole on the side of his mouth, how ugly and ugly!
Rao is like this, Jiang Lan still feels not very satisfied, he looked down at the clothes on his body, and thought to himself that if he was dressed too neatly, it would not be like a thing, after all, he had to do a full set of plays! He messed up his collar, then replaced his belt with strips of rags, and finally made his hair like a chicken coop. Then he smiled with satisfaction and swaggered out the door.
The evening in Yinping City is very lively, the men who work in the city have all finished their work, the three or five confidants who have not yet married have drunk wine and tea, and the firewood, rice, oil and salt that have become a family and buy vegetables and go home, and the women have also built fires in front of the stoves in their respective homes. The streets were full of people and smoke.
Jiang Lan looked for a slightly larger restaurant, and as soon as he stepped in, a guy came up to greet him. Jiang Lan found a table and ordered a pot of wine and two side dishes, and it didn't take long for the wine and dishes to be served.
He was eating, but he heard someone singing poetry in the corner beside him:
"Flying snow in the east and wind in the west,
Laughing inside the door and talking outside the door.
Drink in the back hall and drink in the front hall,
The pot is full of empty pots. β
Jiang Lan looked up and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest sitting at the table, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, with a cow heart bun on his head, and a long beard, his appearance was very ordinary, but it gave people a sense of detachment from the world.
The man held a wine glass in his hand, shook his head and chanted poetry, although his voice was not loud, but the strange tone was very noticeable. Not only Jiang Lan, but the eyes of the entire restaurant were attracted by him.
"He Lao Dao?"
This Taoist priest Jiang Lan recognized that it was He Daochang who took him to Qiyun Village a year ago. He was surprised and delighted, put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and came to He Daochang's table.
"Hey! Road! β
"Oh? Isn't this the Jiang Lan brothers, I haven't seen you for two years, but everything is okay? β
"You, how did you recognize the master?"
Jiang Lan was shocked from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to know his current ghost, even if he saw it, he couldn't recognize it! And this He Daochang actually recognized himself with just one face.
"Hehe, little brother don't panic. Your disguise is actually very good, and ordinary people would not recognize you. And the poor way can recognize you because of a unique set of ways to see people. He Daochang had already guessed what Jiang Lan was worried about, and he explained with a smile.
"A unique approach? You old bull nose is really good at pretending to be a ghost! That's right! How did you come to this Yin Ping City? Someone won't call you to pick up the master again, right? β
He Daochang shook his head: "This time I entered the city for some private matters - Poor Dao is going to the Western Regions, and this time I came to find a caravan to go to the Western Regions together, and there is a good way to take care of it on the way." β
"That's ......"
Although Jiang Lan was curious about why this old Taoist wanted to go to the Western Regions, he also knew that since the other party said that it was a private matter, it was better not to inquire. Although he usually talks a lot, he still has this bit of proportion.
Daoist He was also very satisfied with Jiang Lan's knowledge, he looked at Jiang Lan with a smile, and asked, "I heard from Brother Erhu that you and Xiang Beichuan went to the barracks to avoid trouble before. Why is it in this peaceful city today? β
"Hey, don't mention it! It's all the old immortal Situ Leopard......" Jiang Lan complained while telling what happened.
"That's all there is to it at the end of the barracks, anyway, the master has figured it out now, since he has been sent out, it is just the right time to finish all the things on his body." Jiang Lan was talking just now, while asking the guy to move his wine and food over, he took a sip of wine and said.
"Be faithful and be at ease. The little brother's feelings of being at ease with the situation are admired by the old way. He Daochang said this, raised the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass without waiting for Jiang Lan to raise his glass, "It's not early, Poor Dao also made an appointment with a friend, so don't pass by." β
He Daochang said, then got up and arched his hand to Jiang Lan, and before Jiang Lan could get up, he walked out of the restaurant abruptly, leaving Jiang Lan alone and confused.
"This bullnose is such a weirdo! Forget it, you don't accompany the master, the master drinks by himself! Jiang Lan sighed, then picked up his wine glass and took a sip......
Just a pot of wine made Jiang Lan drink from late evening to late at night.
"Hiccup~ drank a little, a little too much." Jiang Lan muttered as he walked, at this moment he had already left the restaurant and was walking alone on the way back to the military warehouse.
The restaurant and the military warehouse are not far away, and it only takes a moment to walk to the door of the military warehouse. Jiang Lan raised his eyes to look at the gate of the military warehouse, and an indescribable sense of boredom rose in his heart.
"It's such a place! You Situ Lao'er......" Jiang Lan scolded drunkenly, he looked to the side again, at this time the night was dark, but the west city gate was not closed.
"The city is not closed at night, and there are no soldiers to defend it. Give me fifty soldiers and horses to kill this city......" Jiang Lan muttered, "Since the city gate is not closed, the master will go out for a walk!" Hiccup, let's go......"
The night is slightly cool, and people are drunk.
Walking in the western suburbs outside the city, the gust of wind blows on the slightly reddened face, which is particularly refreshing.
The western suburbs of Yinping City are exceptionally quiet at this time, there are no farmland and people, only birch forests. The white moon is like water, sprinkled on the road in the western suburbs, and the birches on both sides are blown by the breeze, and the leaves rustle.
I don't know if it's an auditory hallucination after being drunk, in the sound of swaying leaves, Jiang Lan seems to hear a burst of angry scolding and fighting: "You thieves in Qiyunzhai listen well!" With the master here today, none of you should think of beating the family's idea! β
"The hateful hairy boy, you dare to disturb our business in Qiyun Village, you give me caution! Brothers, withdraw! β
Jiang Lan listened to the sound in the wind, but laughed. He remembered those two sentences clearly, and it was clearly the time when he first came down the mountain and formed a bond with Qiyunzhai. He remembered that it was also in a birch forest, and it was also the autumn wind......
He was immersed in his own memories, somewhat intoxicated. At this time, there was another burst of singing in the wind, and the song was weak and inaudible for a while; For a while, the sound is strong, tugging at the heartstrings.
Jiang Lan shook his head, trying to settle down. I listened carefully, but the sound still lingered in my ears, mixed with the breeze, if there was nothing, but it lingered. He seemed to be a little stupid as he listened, and step by step, he walked towards the depths of the birch forest, the source of the song. The closer I got, the clearer the song became.
"There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Encounters and encounters are suitable for my wishes.
There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang. Encounter and meet, and ...... with the son"
This song is as soft as brocade and as thin as silk. The words in the words were like pearls, falling on the jade plate in Jiang Lan's heart. He couldn't wait to see who the owner of the song was, and his pace quickened a lot.
Passing through the birch forest, climbing up a mound, a waterhole appeared in front of it. The waterhole in the middle of the night is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the bright moon in the sky. The scenery is like a fairyland on earth. At this time, Jiang Lan didn't have the slightest intention to appreciate this grand scene, and his eyes were all attracted by the opposite side of the waterhole.
There was a woman sitting on the edge of the pool, dressed in a blue and white dress. While wearing her long hair, she sang a song. Her hair was wet, her cheeks were still dripping, she was barefoot, and her shoes and clothes were on one sideβshe looked like she had just come out of the water.
Jiang Lan suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he heard from his master that there was a kind of flower called the beauty under the moon, and its flowers only bloomed in the middle of the night, which was just in time for the scene.
He leaned down as much as he could, for fear of being discovered and spoiling the view in front of him.
"What a beautiful view! What a beautiful person! Jiang Lan watched intoxicated as the woman combed her hair and pulled her hair and wore shoes and belts...... His eyelids sank little by little, and gradually closed.
β¦β¦
When Jiang Lan opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
He struggled to stand up, and as soon as he got up, he heard the "click" of bones all over his body, and his whole body was aching at this moment, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
He closed his eyes, and the shadow he saw last night kept coming to his mind, and he couldn't tell whether it was real or a spring dream......
Qiang dragged his hangover back to the military warehouse, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhao Xian still sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and basking in the sun.
Zhao Xian also saw Jiang Lan who entered the door, he was startled at first, and then immediately stood up: "This strong man, what are you doing here?" Zhao Xian didn't see Jiang Lan in disguise, he thought it was a ruffian hooligan from somewhere!
"It's me! Jiang Xiaoshui, your lord! β
"What? Are you the Lord? β
Zhao Xian's face was full of disbelief, although he was old, his memory was not bad, and the person he saw before was really different from the one he saw yesterday!
Seeing this, Jiang Lan reluctantly wiped off the "freckles" and "eyebrows" on his face with his sleeves, and then took out the waist card of the greedy wolf army from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xian.
"What a Lord! But why do you look like this? β
"Don't worry so much, in the future, you only recognize the waist card and not the person!"
Jiang Lan was uncomfortable, and he didn't bother to explain anything to the other party. He put the waist card into his arms, ignored Zhao Xian's strange expression, and went back to the house to sleep by himself.
