Chapter 163: The Village
Tang Xu's estimation was not wrong, and it was not yet dark when the carriage walked forward, when he saw a roof faintly peeking out of the grove and a puff of smoke in the distance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's just ahead, it's almost there." Tang Xu was very happy, after all, it was a place he passed by a long time ago, but he didn't expect that there were still people living there, and Yang Ximei was now a good place.
Bai Lun mustered himself up, and after a short while, the carriage came to the entrance of the grove, where several children were gathering to play.
The group got down from the carriage, Feng Axi took the initiative to stay and take care of it, and Tang Xu and Bai Lun accompanied Yang Ximei into Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is not big, but the landscape is beautiful, the strange staggered chickens and dogs smell each other, Tang Xu did not look carefully when he passed by before, and this time he revisited the old place and felt that there was quite a bit of a paradise here. The creation of nature is amazing, and no one would have imagined that dozens of miles from here are just a wilderness.
"Tang Gongzi, is there someone you know here?" Feng Ah was happy to see that his wife seemed to be very satisfied with this place, and his mood became happy.
Tang Xu shook his head and said that he was just passing by in a hurry to borrow for one night, and he didn't know any friends. Yang Ximei hurriedly said that she didn't know how to do it, so she blamed Feng Axi for not knowing how to measure. Feng Axi shut up stupidly, afraid of making his wife angry, his eyes rolled and thought of a way, turned around and went to Zhuangzi, and came back with a smile after a while, and said to Yang Ximei that he had borrowed two houses, and he could settle down first tonight.
"Brother Bai, it's not early today, let's go back tomorrow when Madame is settled." Tang Xu wanted to go back overnight, but now that he was still in decline, he couldn't leave immediately. Bai Lun had no objections, knowing that he had a beginning and an end in his work, and thought that he would hurry back tomorrow and enter the city after dark. That night, the four of them stayed in the house of a man surnamed Ma in the village, and the sixty-year-old lady Ma was very hospitable, not only sent someone to clean the guest room, but also specially prepared a sumptuous dinner.
After dinner, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest, but Tang Xu closed his eyes until the middle of the night without a trace of sleep, he was worried, he didn't know if he and Bai Lun would leave tomorrow, Yang Ximei and Feng Axi would be able to live in this Zhuangzi peacefully. After pondering, I simply got up in the middle of the night and went to the yard to relax. This is really a leisurely place outside the world, Tang Xu walked leisurely, wandered aimlessly for about half an hour before feeling a little sleepy, and then went back to the room to sleep, this sleep, until the sun rose high the next day before waking up.
"Tang Gongzi, are you awake, hungry? Please get up and eat. As soon as Tang Xu opened his eyes, Feng Axi greeted him with a courteous face, holding a basin in his hand and a clean towel on his arm. Tang Xu felt sorry, and while saying that he was annoyed, he hurriedly got up and took things and put them on the table. Feng Axi didn't say anything, just smiled and waited for Tang Xu to finish freshening up and eating breakfast before going out with his things. Bai Lun woke up early in the morning and went outside for a walk, and at this time he happened to go back to the room and pass by Feng Axi.
"What's wrong with him? Why are you so happy? Tang Xu sat down to drink tea, and when he saw Bai Lun coming back, he asked, he knew that Bai Lun must understand who he was talking about.
"It's a secret." Bai Lun smiled mysteriously, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it carefully. Tang Xu's curiosity was aroused, and with Bai Lun's appearance, he thought that this secret must be a good thing rather than a bad thing, so he asked about it. Bai Lun refused to say anything at first, but Tang Xu was unrelentingly entangled, and finally had to surrender.
"Speaking of which, it's a big secret." Bai Lun walked and closed the door tightly, even lowered the window, and finally pulled Tang Xu into the depths of the room, as if he was afraid that what he said next would be overheard.
"What the hell is going on?" Tang Xu was also suppressed by the atmosphere, and his curiosity had reached the limit and could no longer be suppressed.
"Did you go out in the middle of the night last night?" Bai Lun didn't continue, but changed his mind. Tang Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, muttering in his heart that this matter had something to do with him.
"This secret has nothing to do with you, but the reason why I discovered this secret has something to do with you." Bai Lun said with a smile, Tang Xu's second monk was puzzled, and urged him to continue.
"You left the room in the middle of the night last night, and then I woke up, thinking that you were preparing something for the placement of his master and servant, so I wanted to go out to find you and help you a little." Bai Lun paused and took a sip of tea.
"I don't want me to be unfamiliar with this place, find out the person who hasn't seen you far away, and the lights are blind outside, I went out for a few walks and couldn't find the way, and then I tried to go back but went in the wrong direction, and finally touched the back of his master's and servant's house." Bai Lun continued.
"What did you hear? Or do you see something? Doubts rose in Tang Xu's heart, and a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed, could it be that Yang Ximei is now helpless and grateful for Feng Axi's loyalty, so what happened to the two of them in the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high and there was no one? But as soon as this idea came out, I felt that it was impossible, Yang Ximei was only a few years older than herself, young and good-looking, but Feng Axi was mediocre in appearance, had no money and no power, and was already loyal to Yang Ximei, if something big didn't happen, this relationship would probably be difficult to change.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Lun looked at Tang Xu thoughtfully, and guessed if he had thought of something unspeakable, but no matter how much he guessed, it would definitely not be as good as the secret he had discovered.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you anymore." This secret was actually not vomited in Bai Lun's heart for a long time, he leaned over and whispered a word in Tang Xu's ear, Tang Xu's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open. Tang Xu stared at what Bai Lun said in his head several times, but he still couldn't believe it. Bai Lun only said one sentence just now, and he didn't witness any fragrant pictures, but this sentence outweighed what he said just now, and it immediately explained why Feng Axi was in such a happy mood. Bai Lun told Tang Xu that the child in Yang Ximei's belly was Feng Axi's.
"What is this? Did you hear it right? This matter really has nothing to do with Tang Xu, but it still makes him feel weird, Yang Ximei has never had a good face for Feng Axi, if he really hates this person, will he stay with his children? I've heard of the tanuki changing the prince before, but since Yang Ximei is already planning to leave Feng Yu, what's the point of keeping this child?
"I will definitely not hear me wrong, but there are still some twists and turns in this matter, you listen to me and tell you slowly." Bai Lun said again.
