Chapter Eighty-Four: Let me see what is going on
In August, the meteors were flying, and even the green vines and green grass that climbed all over the courtyard seemed to have lost their former vitality, drooping their heads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sun in the sky has become a white seeping disc, constantly emitting endless light and heat, as if it is about to fall a rain of fire, burning the whole heaven and earth.
In the small courtyard, everyone is reluctant to go out, but fortunately, there is cold well water to dispel the heat, hiding in the house, although it cannot eliminate the heat, but from time to time to drink a well water, it can also be slightly refreshing.
Of course, Liu Xi and the others are still good in cultivation and will not be affected by this weather, and the reason why they feel hot is probably caused by the heat in their hearts. Only Wu Shuang'er and Qin Yi's two daughters are just the realm of the third layer of the 'auxiliary practice', which is far from reaching the point where they are not affected by the outside climate, so they will sweat their cheeks if they move a little.
And Liu Xi also thought about making something like an ice cube or a fan, but after a lot of tossing, it all ended in failure, and in the end, it was the paper fan embroidered by Ma that was easier to satisfy the sweaty Wu Shuang'er.
"Childe, can you really blow the wind out of this fan?"
In the house, Wu Shuang'er shook the baby fan embroidered by the horse, wiped the sweat beads from his forehead with the handkerchief in his hand, and looked down at Liu Xi, who was fiddling with axes and chiseling wooden blocks in the corridor, and after a long time, he asked softly about the doubts in his heart.
"Strange skills, maybe Yusheng really has the talent of a carpenter."
Ma Xiu's eyes glanced at the thin fan shaking in Wu Shuang'er's hand, her eyes showed a little distress, but she didn't forget to say some words of schadenfreude.
He won't miss the opportunity to make fun of Liu Xi.
Obviously, his words reminded everyone of Liu Xi's previous failures, and they couldn't help but smile, and each took half a bowl of well water to cool down.
"How can the things of the world go well? It's just a small setback, and if you stop there, how can you be willing? ”
Looking at Ma Xiu and the others with a smile, Liu Xi muttered in a low voice, his voice was weak, and he was really listened to by Hua Weiyang, who was leaning against the window reading a book not far away.
Turning his head, he looked at Liu Xi who was wielding an axe and chisel, and Hua Weiyang, who was covering his face, frowned slightly, what kind of person is this?
Clever and quick-witted, even those manuscripts written casually are also earth-shattering, and they will definitely cause a huge sensation when they are circulated. It's just that these extraordinary manuscripts have been used to pad the table, thinking of this, Hua Weiyang looked down at a few pieces of rice paper under the table in front of her, the handwriting on it is vigorous and powerful, and the muscles and bones are craggy, I don't know what kind of good sentence it is.
And now, this arrogant and uninhibited person who should have written with a pen is actually very energetic to do the work of a craftsman in the market, saying that he wants to build a fan.
Hua Weiyang had never heard of a fan, but she had an intuition that what Liu Xi was pouring should be a very good thing.
I don't know when it began, Hua Weiyang felt that Liu Xi was a magical person, not to mention full of talent, but the people around him were all strange people.
Dissolute, honest temperament, even if she wears a veil all day long, these people have never been estranged because of this, and they are very easy-going to talk and laugh with Hua Weiyang.
This kind of intimacy, which is not unusual at all, seems to be a very distant thing in Hua Weiyang's memory, so in her heart, she likes the life in front of her very much.
"Sister Yang, let's play chess with us, I'm bored reading all day long, so it's better to have fun playing chess with me, Sister Xun'er, and Sister Still."
When Hua Weiyang was in a trance, Wu Shuang'er's voice came from her ears, the little girl was pure and kind by nature, and her body had not recovered a few days ago, so Wu Shuang'er took care of her. Later, Hua Weiyang was able to get out of bed and walk around, and Wu Shuang'er often came to talk to her to get rid of the most unbearable loneliness.
Put down the scroll in his hand, through the veil, Hua Weiyang smiled, and the green and willow eyebrows were curved like flying clouds, even if he couldn't see his face, he was also beautiful and moving.
"Sister Yang, it's really good-looking, but with this smile, it's enough to make Shuang'er's heart happy."
Wu Shuang'er shook the fan while pulling Hua Weiyang to the edge of the table with a chessboard, where Tian Xun'er and Qin were still playing to the most critical moment, Qin Ying, who was at a disadvantage, was full of struggle in his eyes, and sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he didn't know it.
Hua Weiyang took a look at the chess game, which was very different from the black and white Go, with the Wujiang River as the boundary, the thirty-two chess pieces were divided into thousands of soldiers and horses, and the black and red two battalions killed each other.
This is no longer a simple chess game, but a battlefield of flying sand and rocks and fighting fiercely.
"Sister Xun'er has superb chess skills, and the slave family can't be beaten."
After thinking about it for a while, Qin still dropped the 'handsome' chess pieces in his hand that he didn't know how to place, smiled and whispered, got up to give up his position, and then felt stuffy and unbearable, and after wiping the beads of sweat, he took the round pu fan that had been placed on the table before and shook it to the wind.
"Haha, the wind is coming!"
When Wu Shuang'er pressed Hua Weiyang on the wooden bench to play against Tian Xun'er, he heard Liu Xi's cheerful laughter, and later, a wind blew into the room.
Hearing this voice, several women in the house hurriedly walked out, and Ma Xiu and others in the next room also strode out.
In the corridor, Liu Xi was sitting on a stool, with three wooden chips in front of him, only to see his feet step on the wooden block next to the stool, the wooden chips turned quickly, and the wind came to his face.
"Hey, this thing seems to be interesting!"
Ma Xiu exclaimed, and immediately wanted to ask Liu Xi about the truth, but the latter stared at the rotating wood chips.
"There is nothing else to motive power, and it seems that for a while and a half it will have to be rotated by hand."
Liu Xi said to himself, and suddenly remembered the big ship of the Mo family that he saw during the covenant of the sons, which could not only rush on the ice, but also blink his eyes and become something else, which was so magical.
"Maybe I'll have to ask someone from the Mo family for advice in the future."
Liu Xi's voice was very low, but the people around him could still hear it, Ma Xiu swept it away, Lin Yi, Xiao Wu and Hua Weiyang had different faces, and immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Yusheng, everyone in the world knows that the disciples of the Mo family can turn decay into magic, but their tracks are erratic, and you won't encounter it easily, so give me a try with your fan." ”
Ma Xiu's beat, Liu Xi came back to his senses, and then he remembered that he didn't tell Lin Yi about his identity as a soldier, nor did he let Hua Weiyang know, so he laughed twice and glared, "Today, didn't you ridicule me before, and you came to make my fan do?" ”
"Good Yusheng, you don't remember the villain, so let me step on a few feet, okay?"
Seeing Ma Xiu's appearance of being a scoundrel, everyone laughed, and Liu Xi had to laugh and scold a few words, get up and let him sit down.
Strange things are naturally the most attractive, so after Ma Xiu got up, everyone sat on it and stepped on a few feet, watching the wood chips in front of them turn, and feeling the hot wind blowing in their faces.
After another two days, Liu Xi changed the wooden bench connected to the fan into a recliner, so that he could sleep on the recliner, and it was much easier to rely on the fan than to shake the fan by hand.
"Yusheng, what is going on in your head, there will always be something strange."
The fan blades were enlarged by Liu Xi, so Ma Xiu stepped on it alone, and the room was filled with wind, whistling and blowing, although it had some heat waves, but it was extremely comfortable.
Sitting on the side, enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing, Liu Xi turned the page of the scroll in his hand, "The more lazy people are, the more they want to make something to save trouble, the saws for logging, the ladders for climbing, and even the steel knives for killing, which ones are not created because people want to be happy?" ”
"Listening to what Yusheng said, it's the same reason."
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully.
"Come on, Brother Mengjue, you don't know this person Yusheng, what he said is just some prevarication, if you believe it, it's weird."
After saying this, although Ma Xiu's feet were stepping on it, his body turned over, leaving Liu Xi's glaring gaze behind his back.
Just as he was talking and laughing, there was a call from the courtyard gate, and Qu Lang, who was still whispering to Qin, hurriedly walked out, the scorching sun was scorching, and there was no fan, which suddenly made his skin burn with a burst of pain.
The door opened, Qu Lang was stunned, he also knew the two people outside the hospital, a few months ago, it was this fat and thin person who brought Liu Xi to the government prison.
Today, the two of them were still dressed in white, and there seemed to be some hostility in the fat offerings' eyes, and they wanted to open their mouths, but they were stopped by the thin offerings.
Thin Offering took a step forward and said to Qu Lang, "Xiao Langjun, we were ordered to investigate the case, and we shouldn't have come to disturb it, but the order of the court cannot be violated, and I hope that Xiao Langjun will pass it on my behalf." ”
Hearing this, Qu Lang still had a cold face, nodded and hummed, "Childe is taking a nap, you wait and later, so-and-so will call him." ”
In the house, Liu Xi naturally heard the movement, and after hearing Qu Lang whispering in his ear to explain the reason, he immediately threw down the scroll in his hand.
"Someone is here again, just do it as before, don't be nervous, just look as usual."
Since the assassination of the Tang Emperor, soldiers have been seen everywhere in Jialing City to hunt for assassins, and Liu Xi's courtyard has also had three or five waves of soldiers.
At that time, Hua Weiyang became Liu Xi's cousin, who came from Fenzhou, and was not suitable to see people because of his childhood illness.
At this moment, someone came again, everyone was already familiar with the road, and Wu Shuang'er giggled even more, "It's just boring, it's a little fun now." ”
Qu Lang went to introduce the two worshippers into the house, Ma Xiu and the others didn't know that it was these two people, and when they saw it, their faces immediately turned cold, and Wu Shuang'er turned her body around, for fear that she couldn't help it for a while, and said that the person who had arrested Liu Xi and put him in prison would be thrown out.
"Hehe, it turned out to be two worship adults, who haven't been masked for a long time, but don't come unharmed?"
Thin Offering smiled slightly embarrassed, "Let Childe worry, my two brothers are quite tough, but they were tired and ordered to arrest the assassin, so they nagged Childe." ”
"Assassins?"
Liu Xi pretended to be surprised, "Could it be that the assassin who caused a storm in the city a few days ago has not been arrested yet?" ”
This said, the thin offering was even more embarrassing, the fat offering clenched his fist, his face was gloomy, but he remembered that the matter that had not been broken for more than ten days was no wonder to others, and he let go of his fist again.
"That assassin is very cunning, but my worship house has begun to step up its staffing, and I think the time to arrest her is not far off."
Thin worship glanced in the room as he spoke, and finally fixed his gaze on the masked Hua Weiyang, "Childe, who is this girl?" ”
"Oh, this is Xi's cousin, there was something wrong with the family, so I came to join me from Fenzhou, and because it was a little inconvenient to see people, I covered my face."
Thin worship smacked his lips, "Childe, that assassin was the top brand of the Qinglou before, and he also covered his face, so it was difficult for him to do things." ”
"You are so rude, didn't my son-in-law say it, Miss Biao is uncomfortable, and it is not suitable to see people, besides, the girl's face can be seen by you by saying it?"
Maybe it was because of the previous grudge, Wu Shuang'er finally couldn't help but scold it loudly.
Hearing this, the fat and thin worship immediately changed his complexion, and the dignified Li Tang worship was humiliated by a girl, which was really a great shame, but there were miscellaneous disciples in this house, and there were also former scholars and Fengqing teachers and nephews, and there was also a Tanglin King who was very fond of a scholar whose identity was unknown.
Therefore, this liver fire cannot be moved.
Thin worship ignored Wu Shuang'er, and looked straight at Liu Xi, "Childe, don't make it difficult for you, it's convenient for you and me." ”
"Convenient?"
Ma Xiu shook off the paper fan and said coldly, "Why didn't you make it convenient for us at the beginning?" ”
Xiao Wu got up and surrounded the two in the middle in a semicircle, obviously, the other party caught Liu Xi, which was a slap in the face to the soldiers, this resentment, they had long held it in their hearts.
"Okay, on a hot day, stop it."
Liu Xi waved his hand towards Ma Xiu and the others, and said to the thin again, "My lord, this is really Cousin Xi, the daughter of my aunt's family, and it is also an unspeakable hardship to cover her face." ”
"Childe, the court has grasped the matter of arresting the assassin tightly, and it is not sloppy at all, and I dare not act rashly, if I let the assassin go because of my negligence, the dozen or so brothers who are searching around will resent me."
After speaking, the thin offering didn't say much, but Liu Xi heard the intimidation in his words, and immediately became a little annoyed, the mild color on his face dissipated, frowned and said coldly, "Lord Enshrinement, are you going to continue to be embarrassed?" ”
"This seat acts impartially, even if you have a backer behind you, it is difficult to want to make waves in the Jialing Imperial City!"
The fat worshipper, who had never spoken, snorted, didn't look at Liu Xi with both eyes, and stared at Ma Xiu with hatred, thinking about it and remembering the defeat in the past.
"Smack!"
Liu Xi's hand slapped on the wooden case, his color was as dark as water, and his eyes were cold.
Seeing this scene, the thin offering hand slowly stretched into his arms, where it was slightly bulging, hiding a special signal fireworks to attract his companions.
It seemed that in an instant, the atmosphere became tense, and the surging heat wave of summer was swallowed up by this increasingly powerful momentum before it could enter the house.
"Alas......"
A soft sigh, with grief and pain, sounded in everyone's ears.
"That's it, it's all Ye'er's fault, it's embarrassing for my brother and everyone, since these two adults want to see it, let you take a look, and it will save your brother."
Standing on the side, Hua Weiyang said in a low voice.
