Chapter 21 Suzhou Biyunzhuang Seeking Medicine (2)

When asked by her husband, the beautiful woman was a little nervous, turned her face away, and covered up: "He is a subordinate, I told him to do something."

The man's eyes narrowed and he smiled, but he didn't seem to have the intention of asking any more, and hugged the beautiful woman's shoulder: "Dan'er, let's go, let's go for dinner."

The beautiful woman glanced in the direction of Song Ting's walk, but she didn't see Song Ting, so she followed her husband with confidence.

Song Ting returned to the "Flower Fragrance Secluded Residence", and the maid appeared again, she stood at the door, holding a refined wooden plate in her hand, bowed to Song Ting and said, "Guest, it's time for dinner."

Song Ting was indeed extremely hungry after not eating for several days, so he nodded, pushed the door, and sat down on the tall wooden table in the house, the maid put the wooden plate on the table next to her, and took out the bowls, chopsticks, and plates.

I saw that the bowls and dishes were full of flower petals, red, white, yellow, and black...... There are all kinds of colors, like a pot of stew, and another bowl of boiled lotus seeds, which is regarded as rice.

"This ......" Song Ting was speechless, how could there be such hospitality in this world. Using flower petals as a dish and lotus seeds as a meal is simply wonderful.

"Aren't the guests used to eating?" The maid asked very considerately from the side.

Song Ting thought in his heart: "Hey, send people under the fence, there is a request for others, endure it, endure it, endure it......" and quickly picked up the lotus seeds in the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth, the entrance was slightly bitter, but with a little taste, he felt a burst of sweetness, which made people have a great appetite, and ate with relish.

Pick up a piece of petals and stuff it into your mouth, only to feel soft, slippery, before the taste is recognized, it has already slipped into the abdomen, I didn't expect to use the petals as a dish, it has a different flavor.

In the blink of an eye, Song Ting ate the petals and lotus seeds like a cloud, and he was already six points full. The maid saw that he ate so deliciously that she secretly wiped the corners of her mouth, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little smiling.

The maid hurriedly offered a bowl of tea from the side and said, "This is honeysuckle tea, which clears heat and detoxifies."

Song Ting took a sip, the taste was sweet and bitter, refreshing and refreshing, and the people of this Biyun Villa were too good at enjoying happiness, staying away from the world, eating flowers and drinking tea every day, and the days were free like gods.

But suddenly I remembered the words of the female farmer, she said that her husband did not like men, and he would kill him when he saw him. In this way...... Could it be that there are no men in this Biyun Villa? Could it be that the young man guarding the mountain was also castrated because of this?

Up and down this Biyun Village, there is a strange atmosphere, but the source of this strange atmosphere ultimately points to one person: the husband of the female owner.

Song Ting's eyes stared at the maid, deliberately wanting to get something out of her mouth, he first asked her name, and then asked about her background.

The maid's name was Xiaolian, when she was seven years old, there was a famine in her hometown, her parents sold her to a brothel, she worked in the brothel for a year, and was sold to a rich merchant by a "good Samaritan".

Xiaolian talked about her life experience, but she didn't shed half a tear, it seems to be a common thing. I really don't know how much suffering she went through to make her numb today.

Song Ting cast a sympathetic gaze, but then he thought that she was making up stories, and she was not familiar with him, so why did she have to tell the truth? Soon put away that sympathy again.

"Your owner she...... Why does she call herself a 'peony layman'? Song Ting asked Xiaolian.

"Which owner is Song Gongzi asking?" When Song Ting asked her name and background, he also introduced himself.

Song Ting said: "Oh, you are in the village, is it possible that there are still two owners?"

Xiaolian nodded and said: "Yes, our owner's wife is also our owner, this is what our owner ordered, you can't call the owner's wife 'madam', you must call it 'owner'."

Song Ting was surprised: "What is the reason for this?"

Xiaolian shook her head and said, "The slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid just do what the owner tells them."

After a slight pause, Song Ting took a sip of tea, and suddenly asked again: "Then can you tell me, what are the names of your owner and his wife?"

Xiaolian looked at the doors and windows, and saw that they were all closed, so she dared to whisper: "The surname of the owner of my family is Meng, and the single name is a peony character; The wife of the owner of my family is also surnamed Meng, and her single name is a Dan character. ”

"Meng Mu, Meng Dan ......" Hearing these two names, Song Ting groaned slightly, suddenly opened his mouth, and clapped his hands: "I understand!" It turns out that the four words "peony layman" do not specifically refer to your owner, but the joint name of the owner and his wife! ”

Xiaolian grinned and said, "Song Gongzi is really smart, that's right."

Song Ting groaned: "No wonder outsiders don't know whether the 'Peony Layman' is male or female, so it ......."

Xiaolian interjected: "There are very few outsiders here, and Song Gongzi is the first guest this year, and the first male guest in the past five years."

Hearing what Xiaolian said, Song Ting suddenly remembered that the young man guarding the mountain said three checkpoints: the mountain guard, the jack stone, and the chain bridge. With such natural dangers and organs, it is difficult for a mosquito to fly to the peak, let alone a human. So Xiaolian said that he was "the first male guest in five years", and he was not surprised at all.

"Then you were halfway through the road just now, and I asked you something, but you refused to speak, what do you say?" Song Ting asked.

"The owner of the village has instructed that when you pass among the ten thousand flowers, you must neither trample on the flowers, nor make noise with the flowers. The owner said: Flowers are more spiritual than people. Xiaolian said.

"Which owner said that?"

"Naturally...... Owner. Although we met the owner's wife, also called the 'owner', but in private, the owner is the owner, and the owner's wife is still called 'Mrs. the owner'. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Mu was the owner of the village and Meng Dan was the wife of the owner, Song Ting would have been dizzy by her section of "Mrs. the owner".

Song Ting learned the basic information about Biyun Villa, and knew about Meng Mu and Meng Dan, and he was faintly worried about the "ghost flower". But right now, there is no other way than to wait for the "Lady of the Owner" Meng Dan to bring news to herself.

But I don't know why Meng Dan is willing to hide from Meng Mu and help himself secretly, will there be fraud in this?

Thinking of this, Song Ting hurriedly ended the conversation with Xiaolian, assuming that he was going to sleep and let her go down first.

After Xiaolian left, Song Ting pretended to turn off the lights, and after lying in the quilt for less than a cup of tea, he sneaked up, didn't light the lamp, tiptoed open the door latch, and sneaked out.

At this time, a bright moon rose in the sky, according to the flower path, Song Ting walked straight along the thatched house, and suddenly saw a public hall in front of him, two red lanterns were hung under the roof beams in front of the hall, and a plaque on the door was carved with the words "Hundred Flowers Yingtang".

In front of the public hall stood four men in black clothes, all of them white and beardless, like the young man guarding the mountain, four of them with scimitars at their waists, standing straight and motionless.

When Song Ting saw the guards, he hurriedly hid in the flowers next to him, and looked at the back of the public hall, and sure enough, there was no one, so he bent his waist, leaned against the wall, and secretly came to the back door of the public hall, and saw that there was a window, so he put his ear to the window and secretly listened to the movement inside.

There was a faint sound of quarrel in the hall, but it was not really heard, Song Ting's fingers were dipped in saliva, and he slowly melted the window paper, his body was against the root of the wall, and his right eye was attached to the hole to look in. I saw the man with loose hair sitting on a Taishi chair in the hall, Song Ting could only see the back of his head, hair, and garlands, and the beautiful woman stood in front of him, her face was flushed, but for some reason.

Song Ting listened carefully, but he could hear it really, only to hear the man's tone was obviously displeased, and said, "Dan'er! Tell your husband the truth, Who is he? Why did you bring him to the village? Honjo doesn't accept male customers, don't you know? ”

The beautiful woman named "Meng Dan" frowned and said, "I said that he is just a subordinate, why don't you believe it, brother?"

The man named "Meng Mu" was furious, patted the armrest of the Taishi chair, and said, "You still know that I am your brother!" I thought you didn't remember it a long time ago! Are you doing what you are doing now worthy of your brother and me? ”

Listening to Meng Mu's words, Meng Dan's eyes were slightly red, and he raised his head and sighed: "Sixteen years ago, you were originally my cousin of the same clan, we were childhood sweethearts, we got along day and night, and gradually developed affection, and secretly did that. Unexpectedly, the elders of the same clan knew about it, and they dragged you and me to the ancestral hall and beat you up...... I almost killed you and me...... Brother, does your back still hurt? Looking at Meng Mu's eyes, he was gentle and caring.

Meng Mu waved his hand, his face was slightly pale, and his anger was obviously not gone: "Dan'er! We won't talk about what happened sixteen years ago. Tell me, in the past 16 years, has your husband treated you badly? And you? Actually secretly brought the man to the village! ”

After eavesdropping on the words of the two, Song Ting learned that Meng Mu and Meng Dan were cousins of the same clan, and the two were in love, but they were not tolerated by the clan and were severely beaten, so they eloped here. Hearing Meng Mu say "bring the man to the village", he said in his heart: "It's not good, it's still discovered...... It seems that it will be difficult to get the "ghost flower".

In the hall, Meng Dan lowered his head slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I told you, he is a new subordinate." He's not a man......"

With a "snap", Meng Mu slapped the chair and got up, his eyes suddenly became cold, staring at Meng Dan and said, "I don't remember accepting such a subordinate." Since he is a subordinate, it is okay, you go and ask him to come over to receive circumcision now, and if you want to enter my Biyun Villa, you have to accept this rule. ”

"This ......" Meng Dan's face was red and speechless. The husband castrated every male slave, although on the surface he was worried about them and the maid, but in fact he also meant to prevent her. She knows this very well. But in the past sixteen years, she has obeyed him in everything, and she has never been disobedient, even in the face of such inhumane methods, she does not dare to persuade him more.

Song Ting overheard this, and only then did he understand why the young man guarding the mountain was a eunuch with a duck voice, and the men here all had no beards, so they were all given by the owner of Meng Mu and Meng Zhuang, and they were subjected to the so-called "circumcision".
