CHAPTER XXV
Yan Shu was very depressed.
In the past few days, the road is remote through the mountains and mountains, the road turns left and right, there is not a village or town along the way, and there is no figure on the road, not even a rabbit shadow. As a direct result, their food can only be set in stone.
It didn't matter, but I couldn't stand it, and I was about to vomit if I nibbled on dry food again.
Qian Xu said helplessly: "Then what should I do, or you gnaw on the bark?" ”
Yan Shu stopped muttering. After a while, he started muttering again.
Fortunately, today, they finally walked on the main road and met a man on the bright and spacious avenue. Or a man with a basket.
Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and Lao Yuan rushed up and said, "Girl, what are you selling!" ”
The girl bent her lips and smiled, her eyebrows were full of charm, and her red lips said lightly: "Sell flowers." ”
Yan Shu's smile fell, and she let out an "oh" in frustration, glanced at the basket in the crook of her arm, and said casually: "Your rose is beautiful red." ”
The girl stared at Yan Shu, a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of charm, and her voice was delicate: "Oh? Can you see this red rose? ”
Yan Shu looked inexplicable, lowered his eyes and glanced at the roses in the basket again, and said, "I can see it." Am I not blind? ”
The girl smiled, and her peach and plum beauty almost eclipsed the surrounding grass and trees. She took a rose out of the basket and said to Yanshu: "This son, do you have a sweetheart?" ”
Yan Shu said vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?" "It's not that he's too careful, this girl is so beautiful and charming, and she's selling roses on this road alone, most of which is a demon who doesn't make people worry.
The girl smiled and handed the rose to Yan Shu, and said softly: "Childe don't have to be careful, this rose is given to you, take it to your beauty." ”
Yan Shu took the letter suspiciously, looked left and right, but didn't see any problems.
At this time, Qian Xu came over unhurriedly, and was stunned when he saw this girl.
This...... It's beautiful, isn't it?
Qian Xu originally thought that Jin Chen was already very beautiful, but he didn't expect that there would be such a stunning color.
This girl's red dress is like water, emanating like ink, and her figure is tall and enchanting. There are all kinds of eyebrows and eyes, and one look can make people lose their minds. Vermilion lips and teeth, a slight smile can hook away countless souls, and I can't wait to get drunk in the gentle township.
If Jin Chen is beautiful and gentle, and the country is fragrant, then this girl is beautiful and charming, and she will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Tilt Xu was distracted by this beauty for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Yan Shukong holding up a hand, and wondered: "Yan Shu, what are you doing here?" ”
Yan Shu didn't see anything wrong after looking at it for a long time, so he took the rose to Qian Xu and offered the treasure: "Do you like it?" ”
Confused: "What do you like?" ”
Yan Shu said: "Rose." ”
Poured out at a loss: "What rose?" ”
Yan Shu finally felt that something was wrong, raised the rose in his hand to the eyes of the tilting eyes, and said, "Can't you see?" ”
He frowned and looked at his empty hand, and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Suddenly, there was a laugh, and the two of them looked over one after another, and saw that the girl was covering her lips, her peach blossom eyes were bent like crescent moons, and she smiled coquettishly: "My roses, not everyone can see them." ”
Yan Shu turned the delicate red rose and asked, "Could it be that only a demon can see this flower?" ”
"Of course not." The girl flicked between her fingers, and a budding rose appeared in her hand.
"I can see this." "Please also tell the girl what is going on." ”
"You don't have to call me girl, I'm already married, you can call me Hua Niang." Hua Niang smiled, "This branch in my hand is just an ordinary rose." And the branch in Childe's hand is called Heartfelt Rose. ”
Yan Shu said with great interest: "What is a heartfelt rose? ”
"This flower can only be seen by those who have a heart."
I was stunned, and my heart was in turmoil for a while. Yan Shu's face was not very good, and he looked down at the rose in his hand in silence.
Seeing the scene of the two, Hua Niang couldn't help laughing again, and said: "Who can say the word love?" Just because you haven't come here doesn't mean you won't come in the future. ”
Yan Shu smiled at this time, and stretched out his hand to return the rose to the flower girl: "It's useless for me to keep this flower, you better sell it to passers-by." ”
Hua Niang said: "There is no reason to get it back if you send it out." This flower is not only useful for this one. ”
Yan Shu blinked thoughtfully and tucked the rose into his sleeve.
He was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Yan Shu didn't bother her, and asked Hua Niang, "What villages are there around here?" ”
Hua Niang raised her fingers: "Two or three miles from here, there is Shengru Town." ”
Yan Shu's face suddenly improved, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”
Hua Niang smiled silently.
Tilt Xu didn't speak all the way, and after being silent for a while, he mustered up the courage to say: "Yan Shu, that heartfelt rose, show me again." ”
Yan Shu took out the rose from his sleeve. Qian Xu looked at it for a while and still couldn't see anything, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it." ”
Yan Shu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dump life...... Do you have someone you like? ”
Tilt Xu said honestly: "I thought I already had a place in my heart, but now it seems that it is not love." ”
Yan Shu said in frustration: "Oh. ”
He said: "Well, I finally figured out my own thoughts." ”
Yan Shu said: "Oh. ”
Tilt Xu turned his head to look at him and said, "Words? ”
Yan Shu said: "Oh. ”
Tilt: "......"
Following the road pointed out by Hua Niang, the two soon arrived at Shengru Town. When he arrived in the town, Yan Shu was obviously in a much better mood, and ran to a noodle stall next to a street corner.
"Little Er!" Yan Shu said loudly, "Bring me two big bowls of beef noodles!" What do you want? ”
"Whatever." ”
Yan Shu said loudly: "Xiao Er, let's have two more bowls of beef noodles, a total of four bowls!" ”
"...... I can't eat that much. ”
Yan Shu comforted her: "I'll solve what you can't eat." ”
"...... It is worthy of being a mythical beast. ”
Yan Shu couldn't wait for the noodles, so he ran to buy something else to eat first. He sat at the table with his chin in one hand and the other on his lap, looking around while waiting for the face.
It's noon, and it's crowded. The streets are crowded with people, so it's not lively.
Qian Xu noticed that there was a man standing on the corner of the street with a book in his hand, who looked to be over half a hundred years old, with gray hair and vicissitudes of eyebrows, and a look of anxiety, so he almost wrote the four words of sorrow on his face.
At this time, a little boy about ten years old passed by with a basket of vegetables, and when he saw the man with a sad face, he stopped and said respectfully, "Hello Mr. Bi." ”
Mr. Bi said with a sad face: "Okay, good." ”
The little boy asked, "Sir, the academy is ...... now Isn't it peaceful yet? ”
Mr. Bi covered his mouth and looked around in a panic. Tilt Xu, who was silently listening, quickly lowered his head and avoided his gaze. After a while, he looked up again, and saw Mr. Bi reproaching the little boy: "Speak quietly, don't let others hear." Don't you think my academy is messy enough! ”
"I'm sorry, sir." The little boy said, "But sir, today I heard from my mother that Long Long's father would not let Long Long come to the academy again in the future, saying that it was ...... Afraid of the unclean stuff. ”
Hearing this, Mr. Bi's face became even more worried, and he said with a bitter face: "Alas, if it goes on like this, my academy will have to be closed sooner or later." ”
The little boy said innocently: "Sir, why don't you find a Taoist priest to help, didn't two Taoist priests come a month ago?" Are you reluctant to spend money? ”
Mr. Bi was so angry that his beard curled: "Do I still lack those two money!" I want to find a Taoist priest, but where can I find it? Last month, I came to two Taoist priests, but after staying for a day, I left, and after leaving, I never saw a Taoist priest come again. I've been standing at the entrance of the town all morning today, and I haven't seen a single Taoist priest passing by! Most of our Shengru Town are scholars, how can there be any Taoist priests? ”
The little boy said "oh", shook the vegetable basket in his hand, and said, "Sir, my mother is still waiting for me, so I'll go first." ”
Mr. Bi waved at him, turned around and walked away.
Here, Xiao Er came up with his face, tilted his head, and asked, "Xiao Er, please ask, who was that old gentleman just now?" ”
Xiao Er glanced up at Mr. Bi's back and replied, "That's Mr. Bi, the dean of Huaicai Academy, who has taught a lot of students over the years." But he hasn't been at peace there lately. ”
"What do you say?" ”
Xiao Er brought the four bowls of noodles to the table one by one, and when he saw that there were no other guests around, he sat down and preached to Qian Xu: "His Huaicai Academy, recently ...... Haunted. ”
"Oh?" Raise your eyebrows.
Xiao Er thought she didn't believe it, so she squeezed her eyebrows and said: "Really, the neighbors who live near Huaicai Academy say so, saying that in the middle of the night, the lights in the academy are all off, but there are bursts of reading!" People go in and watch, but there's no one, do you think it's scary? ”
"Besides, is there anything else?" ”
Xiao Er said: "Yes, yes." According to the children who go to the academy every day, they often find blood on the table in the morning, and they can't wipe it off, and after half an hour the word disappears by itself, which is very strange, very strange. ”
"What is written in blood?" ”
Xiao Er said: "I don't know about this." Anyway, many people are frightened, and now many children have not gone to the academy, and the academy is afraid that it will be closed. ”
Before Xiao Er finished speaking, he suddenly felt that someone was patting him behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Yan Shu.
Yan Shu smiled and said, "You kid, are you still sitting in my seat chatting?" What are you talking about, tell me about it too? ”
Xiao Er hurriedly got up and smiled shyly: "Don't say it, don't say it, you sit, you sit." "I ran away.
Yan Shu sat down, put the things he bought on the table, and then handed the newly bought dried figs to Qian Xu before starting to eat noodles.
He looked at the dried figs in his hand, then looked at the clothes that Yan Shu bought, looked up and said to Yan Shu: "Yan Shu, I spent too much money on you." ”
Yan Shu said while sandwiching the noodles: "It's all Jiumian to get it, it's okay." ”
He smiled, but said, "I can't just spend and not earn." ”
Yan Shu said as a matter of course: "Why not? Anyway, I still have a lot of silver, and besides, I want to ...... in the future."
Tan Xu didn't hear clearly: "What else do you want?" ”
Yan Shu said: "It's nothing. Eat it. As he spoke, he pushed a bowl of noodles in front of him.
Tilt Xu took the chopsticks and said while eating: "I'm going to hunt ghosts, I can make money." ”
Yan Shu gave her the beef in the bowl and said, "No." We have enough money to spend. ”
Seeing that it didn't make sense, he retreated to the next place: "Yan Shu, I want to go to Huaicai Academy to have a look." ”
Yan Shu said: "What are you looking at? ”
"Look at a ghost." ”
Yan Shu: "......"
