Volume 1 ● The Recalcitrant People Chapter 69 The Fish and the Bear's Paw
The first thing Guo Yang did when he came out was to ask Anu to get him a big bucket of hot water, the kind that would add apricot blossoms.
"Did Guo Yang come out?" After drinking a bowl of medicine, the sleeping swallow suddenly opened her eyes, a serious illness made her lose a lot of weight, her eye sockets were a little sunken, and she looked very weak and haggard.
"Yes, Miss Swallow, the young master is out." Anu spoke, and walked out of the Yueyan courtyard quickly.
Yanziqiang struggled to get up, let Ying'er help her, and slowly walked out of the yard.
Guo Yang was taking a bath, and Yanzi came to a wooden bench and sat down to wait. The sun was shining, and through the leaves of those luxuriant almond trees, it was scattered on her.
The swallow sat quietly, faint, thin, and lonely like an ancient well.
There's a beauty that is heartbreaking.
Guo Yang cleaned up comfortably, changed into a set of coarse linen clothes, simply tied his waist with a rope, and tied his long hair with silk casually, and walked out of the door slowly.
Looking at Yanzi from afar, Guo Yang stopped, squinted slightly, and looked at Yanzi seriously, as if to remember her firmly.
He had heard Anu say about Yanzi's illness, Guo Yang smiled and didn't say anything.
As for what he's been thinking about or encountering in his room these days, he doesn't say. Many years later, when he finally regained the memories of his past life and achieved something earth-shattering, he never mentioned it.
Anu is not a talkative person, Guo Yang doesn't say, he won't ask. It's just that he feels that Guo Yang has changed, but as for the specific changes, he can't say.
If Guo Yang was a cynical knife in the past, then Guo Yang, who is standing in the sun at the moment, is a piece of iron that has gathered all the light.
Pure iron, which is white.
Guo Yang's black face seemed to be a little white, but his eye sockets were deeper, the bridge of his nose was a little high, and his closed lips seemed to be able to say a prophecy at any time.
"It's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold." Guo Yang walked over quietly, gently stroked Yanzi's silky hair with one hand, and said gently.
Yanzi stood up suddenly, wanting to turn his head to look at Guo Yang, but suddenly paused, trembling slightly, and two bean-sized tears smashed on the ground, and they dried up in a blink of an eye.
"Silly boy." Guo Yang said with a smile, took out a mink scarf, and gently put it on the neck of Yan Zi Baishengsheng.
"Stinky!" The swallow suddenly burst into laughter, and its nose blew out a bubble the size of a walnut.
"Give." Guo Yang handed her a ball of soft cloth.
"Get out!" The swallow snatched the piece of cloth with his hand, wiped the tears and snot on his face in three or two strokes, and waved his hand with a punch.
There was a soft "snap", and Bai Shengsheng's little fist was grabbed by Guo Yang and clenched tightly.
"You!" The swallow struggled for a while, Guo Yang didn't let go, so he simply let him hold it, and his thin face was slightly reddened.
"It hurts." Guo Yang grabbed the fist, gently pounded it in his heart, and said with a smile, as cheap as he wanted on his face.
The swallow hooked his head and put his forehead on Guo Yang's chest, and even the roots of his ears were a little red.
Guo Yang.
Well.
My name is Yan Wushuang.
Well.
Wuhuan is my brother.
Well.
These days...... I just want to see you.
Well.
We are Nanyan people.
Well.
I'm sick and think about you and my brother all day.
Well.
Are you okay.
Well.
Are you really okay?
Well.
It's okay not to talk.
Well.
I dreamed of those two three-born butterflies.
Well.
I heard that only those who are destined to meet them can meet them.
Well.
Is there anything wrong with you?
Well.
Will you be able to speak?
Well.
Then how not to speak.
Well.
With a "snap", Guo Yang was punched in the face, neither light nor heavy, just enough to make him grin.
"That's good, why did you beat someone......" Guo Yang held Yanzi's small hand with one hand, and stroked his face with the other, and said depressedly.
"Let you perfunctory me, hum, you stinky Guo sheep, I know you don't like me!" Yanzi withdrew his hand vigorously, his eyes widened, and he stared at Guo Yang fiercely.
"Where is this...... Guo Yang is really wronged, in fact, he also wants to say a few more intimate soft words, but Anu's stinky and shameless person doesn't know how to avoid it, just standing seven or eight steps away, grinning and smirking, Guo Yang has some words that he really can't say!
"Anu, what's wrong?" Guo Yang asked helplessly, and by the way, he also put aside Yanzi's unreasonable trouble.
"Hmm." Anu said.
"If you have something, just say it." Guo Yang said.
"Yes." Anu bowed down and said, "Young Master, Miss Swallow, it's time to eat." ”
"Huh?" Guo Yang and Yanzi said in unison, looking up at the sun, it was neither noon nor evening, what kind of meal was this?
"Anu, isn't it a little early to eat at this time?" Guo Yang frowned and asked.
"Young master, it's a little late." Anu said with a wry smile.
"I didn't eat at noon!" Guo Yang and Yanzi glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
……
There was wine, and there was meat, and there was fish.
There is another thing that Guo Yang and Yanzi have never seen, and Anu introduced that this is the bear's paw.
"Bear paws?" Guo Yang was slightly stunned.
"Yes, this thing has always been only enjoyed by those tribal leaders in the Liaodong area, and its preciousness is second only to the ginseng and mink skins of the three treasures of Liaodong." Anuhan said with a smile.
"Oh? If it's so precious, it's worth tasting. Guo Yang said with a smile.
"Young master, I originally planned to get a few black blind men to see if I could domesticate them. Unexpectedly, this guy was too fierce to have no choice, so he had to bring back a few bear paws. Anu said.
"The black blind man is not easy to deal with, and if he doesn't get out of it, he will die, why do you think of domesticating this beast?" Swallow said with a frown.
"Young master, Miss Swallow, you don't know, I domesticated the black blind man, and my original intention was to humiliate and humiliate those Zhou dogs who were both ferocious and cunning." Anu laughed.
"How can the black blind man talk to Zhou Gou...... Ah, by the way, don't the Zhou people claim to be the descendants of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and their totem is this black blind man. Haha, Anu, Anu, I can't imagine that you look very honest, why are you so bad! Tell me honestly, did the stinky Guo Yang bring you bad? The swallow said loudly, where is there still a little serious illness just recovering from it.
"The young master is very good, not to mention, Anu is not very bad......" Anu scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, you can't domesticate the black blind man, let's try the black claws of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Although it is said that our ancestors of the Great Shang are also said to be from the Xuanyuan family, but now it seems that fratricidal cannibalism has become a foregone conclusion, so you might as well eat it, regardless of whose ancestor it is. Guo Yang smiled and raised the chopstick, holding up a piece of bear paw.
"Wow!" Guo Yang suddenly roared, startling both Yanzi and Anu who were about to raise the chopstick, and glared at Guo Yang with all four eyes.
"It's delicious! The black claws of this old ancestor are simply the best in the world! No, even heaven is a delicacy! Guo Yang chewed loudly and was full of praise, but it made Yanzi and Anu hesitate a little, and it took a long time to clip a small piece and carefully put it in his mouth.
"Wow! It's so delicious! The three of them cheered in unison, and suddenly the two bear paws were eaten alive.
Guo Yang and the three of them may not know that their unintentional move was actually imitated by some descendants of the Zhou people hundreds of years later, in order to take revenge on the Chu people who claimed to be blood relatives of the Xuanyuan clan, ridiculing them for drinking blood and hair, like beasts, and for a time it became a trend, almost making the black blind extinct.
Of course, this is a later story, so don't mention it.
After eating the bear's paws, and then going to eat other fish, I suddenly felt very tasteless, and the three of them had to drink wine without a pair, and they were a little lost.
"Good things can't be eaten often, or we won't taste the food." Guo Yang leaned lazily on an apricot chair and said with a smile.
"I'm okay, if you have a bear's paw, you will eat a bear's paw, if you have a fish, you will eat fish, in troubled times, it is often those hypocrites who are high up and choose food." Anu went to Liaodong and seemed to have become smarter, and from time to time a sentence or two came out that surprised Guo Yang and Yanzi.
"Also, we have wine and meat here, and how many so-called recalcitrant merchants lack food and clothing, live like pigs and dogs, driven by those hanging whips and knives, help them make handicrafts, and earn them high taxes." As the swallow spoke, her mood began to become low.
"Anu, clean up, let's go out for a walk in a few days." Guo Yang said suddenly.
"Yes, young master." Anu said.
"Where are you going?" Swallow asked.
"Luoyi." Guo Yang said lightly.
