Chapter 13: Escape from Death

As the sun sets, rows of lanterns hang in the east courtyard of Zhangton's mansion, and Zhangton entertains a group of guests in the east courtyard every year on August 15. Among the guests, in addition to the doormen of the Zhangdun family, there were also some people from the officialdom.

There is a three-storey attic in the east courtyard, there is a vacant lot in front of the attic, the bluestone slabs are neatly paved, about seventy or eighty square meters, and under the vacant space is a long staircase, there is a flower bed on the left and right sides of the stairs, and the flower bed is planted with colorful chrysanthemums.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the chrysanthemums, the white ones emitted a faint fluorescence, the yellow ones became more tender, and the red ones were delicate and charming.

On the large terrace, rectangular black-lacquered tables are placed on the left and right, and the moonlight reflects the moonlight on them.

There is also a square table on the steps in the middle, which is slightly larger than the table below.

In the Song Dynasty to participate in the banquet, which seat is the most noble, which seat is the lowest, which seat is the main seat, which seat is the guest seat, there is no certain rule, the key depends on where the door is.

If the door is on the south side, the northernmost dining table and the seat on the north side of each table must be the most honorable, commonly known as the "chief".

If the door is on the north side, the southernmost table and the seat on the south side of each table become the most distinguished seats.

If the door is on the east side, the westernmost table and the seat on the west side of each table are the most noble. And if the door is on the west side, the easternmost table and the seats on the east side of each table are the most noble.

To put it simply, you don't need to care about the east, west, north and south at all, as long as it is the seat and seat facing the door, it must be the most noble.

The most distinguished seat is not necessarily the owner's seat. If the owner is the oldest and has the highest rank, of course, he can sit in the most distinguished seat. If the host is the same or equal to the guest, the seat facing the door must be given to the guest.

If the guest is more modest and insists on not sitting in that seat, then that seat must be vacated, and no one can sit in it, and whoever sits is rude.

The most important thing in officialdom is the seat, and if you sit in the wrong position, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In several dynasties in ancient China, some respected the left and some respected the right, while the Song Dynasty respected the left.

Chapters usually feast in the attic, but only on August 15 they are held on the terrace. There is no door to the terrace, so the stairs of the terrace are used to order the seats.

In the open space on the left hand side of the stairs, three rows of black lacquer square tables are neatly arranged. In the open space on the right, the first row is a black lacquered square table, and behind it is a row of futons.

The upper class guests sit at the table, the middle door guests sit on the futon, and the lower class guests only stand up, and of course some guests are not even qualified to participate in the banquet.

The east courtyard and the south courtyard are also separated by a wall, and some doormen want to peek at the banquet scene, and often lie on the wall between the two courtyards.

The first square table on the left, the one closest to the seat of the Chapter, is the seat of the first guest.

Liu Yutang sat on the futon, and the front of his position happened to be the seat of the first guest. He knew that Gu Yanzhong wanted to sit in front of him, so he deliberately sat in this position.

It's almost time, the doormen have arrived, and the officials have also taken their seats.

Fang Tianruo walked straight forward and sat directly in the position of the first guest.

Liu Yutang was stunned for a moment, looked Fang Tianruo up and down, a little incredulous, he stood up, walked around to the front of Fang Tianruo, glared at him and said, "Why are you sitting here, this is Brother Gu's position." ”

Fang Tianruo glanced at Liu Yutang, squinted at him, and thought: I should have cleaned up this guy just now. Now let him do me bad.

Fang Tianruo said impatiently: "Get out of the way, Master Zhang is coming soon." ”

"Master Zhang has arrived." Liu Yutang wanted to speak, but suddenly heard a shout.

Liu Yutang had no choice but to return to his position. He fidgeted, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Zhang Dian said some words, Liu Yutang looked around, but he didn't see Gu Yan's shadow.

He looked at all the seats again, and none of them were empty, and it was clear that this had been arranged a long time ago.

He looked at Fang Tianruo, his fists clenched slowly, his intuition told him that this matter had something to do with Fang Tianruo, he wanted to ask Fang Tianruo, but he also knew that Fang Tianruo would not tell him half a word.

He looked back at the doorman standing behind him, dragged him to his place, and slowly moved back. Moved to the last row, saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly slipped away.

Liu Yutang quickly ran to Gu Yanzhong's room, pushed the door open, and the room was empty.

He sat in the room dejectedly, looking at the quiet courtyard, everyone who could participate in the night banquet went to the night banquet, and those who could not participate also found a place to peek.

The crickets in the grass kept screaming, Liu Yutang had no bottom in his heart, and sat stupidly on the steps at the door of Gu Yanzhong's room, looking at Haoyue, and sighed: "Brother Gu, where are you......"

He gradually calmed down, Brother Gu was separated from him from time to time, now is the time of the year, it is only two hours, such a big thing, Brother Gu will never forget.

He thought about running towards the gate suddenly, and I went to ask the uncle who guarded the door if he saw Brother Gu go out.

Liu Yutang ran through all the doors of Zhangfu that could go out, and said that he had not seen anyone who had gone out of Zhangfu today.

Liu Yutang was helpless in the courtyard, pacing back and forth, and secretly speculated in his heart: If he didn't go out, then Brother Gu would definitely be in the mansion. There is only one attic in the east courtyard, and the west courtyard is where the female dependents live, and it is impossible to enter it. That is the North Courtyard and the South Courtyard, and the South Courtyard is empty.

"North Courtyard!" He suddenly felt the knot in his heart open, and he ran to the north courtyard without saying a word.

The sky gradually cleared, and after being washed by the rain, it was very clear, and the moon slowly climbed up the hill and hung quietly in the sky. Maybe it's because it's just rained, and everything around is shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Gu Yan was dazed, he seemed to feel that he was in a pitch black, he looked around, there was nothing.

The moonlight shone into the dry well, and a beam of light flickered from Gu Yanzhong's eyelids, and he slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his daze.

He subconsciously touched the back of his head, still in slight pain, and the bones in his body seemed to fall apart.

He lay on the ground and watched Haoyue in the air, his hands subconsciously propped up on the ground, "pop", he hit a puddle of water.

He reached out and touched around the pool, and the soil was moist and soft like a sponge. He propped himself up on the wall, there was a layer of soft things on the wall, sticky and a little sticky, he held on to the wall, slowly stood up, when his right leg fell off the ground, now standing up, his legs were numb, limping and some unsteady.

He leaned against the wall, surrounded by weeds, and a long pile of weeds grew out of the cracks in the stones across from him.

He shook his hands and feet, and he could still move. He looked at the wellhead, looked at the ground, and judging from the degree of moonlight reflection, the distance from the wellhead to the surface was about ten or twenty meters.

Gu Yanxin was taken aback, and couldn't help but sigh: "In such a high place, it's really fatal not to be killed by a fall." This Fang Tianruo is really ruthless. ”

"If an ordinary person falls to death, forget it, throw me out of three long and two short, what should I do in the next life. But then again, maybe I'll go through again, and this time I don't know where to go. Maybe you can't die! ”

While thinking in his heart, he looked around and said to himself: I think that back then, Duan Yu was thrown at the bottom of the well by Murong Fu, and with the company of Wang Yuyan, who looked like a fairy, he achieved a good marriage. I only sighed today, saying that Yan Sanniang is here, and it is worth it even if I live in this well for the rest of my life.

But, then again, I'm an international thief, and so much modern technology hasn't stumped me. What can this twenty-meter well do to me?

When I was reading a book, I wondered if I would fall into the well one day, but I didn't expect to fall into it. What a good spirit, not a bad spirit.

He thought about it, patted his hands on the wall, ready to find a place to climb up, and teased himself in his mouth: "In this dry well, maybe there are some martial arts secrets, treasures and other things." ”

"Ouch!" Suddenly, he stepped on something that was so soft that he couldn't stand for a moment and fell backwards.

He rubbed his feet and touched the place where he had fallen, and gradually he touched something hard. He frowned, touched the side again, and noticed a pile of hard things.

He grabbed one, slowly stood up, and stood in the moonlight to take a closer look.

"Mom, what is this?" A cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back spine, "Human bones!" ”

He slowly crouched down and thought, "If this treasure has not been found, how can there be human bones?" ”

He looked at the bones more closely, and could see that they were the bones of an adult man, about thirty years old.

"Huh? What is it? Gu Yan's center tightened, he cut the bones, and there was a jade pendant in the bone pile, seeing that this jade pendant was made of fine white jade, it seemed to be a pair.

Gu Yanzhong looked at the bone, touched his chin with his fingers, and thought, "What the hell is going on?" I'll look for any other clues. ”

Gu Yanzhong looked for a while and still didn't have any clues, clapped his hands, put the jade pendant into his arms, raised his head to look at the well, and said to himself: "I think it's better to wait for me to go up first." Today's banquet, I can't miss this good opportunity. ”

Gu Yanzhong slowly climbed up, but fortunately, the walls of the well were covered with moss. Although it has been crossed, the kung fu is still there.

Finally, Gu Yanzhong climbed to the wellhead, lay on the wellhead, panting, he was really tired.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu......" Gu Yan saw a familiar figure in the vast night, "I'm here!" ”

Liu Yutang heard Gu Yanzhong's shout and hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from. He saw Gu Yanzhong lying on the entrance, and hurriedly said, "Quick! Catch me. ”

He dragged Gu Yanzhong out of the well with all his might, Gu Yanzhong's whole person pressed on his body, Gu Yanzhong rolled over, and the two of them lay on the grass.

Liu Yutang helped Gu Yanzhong up, looked at Gu Yanzhong's clothes full of moss and dirt, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, are you okay?" ”

Gu Yanzhong shook his head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Liu Yutang simply told Gu Yanzhong about Fang Tianruo.

Gu Yanzhong endured the pain on his feet, looked at the well, and thought silently in his heart: Brother, today I will use your spirit of heaven to bless me to climb out, it is estimated that your life will also end in the hands of Fang Tianruo, and I will definitely avenge you!

"Let's go! Let's go to the banquet together! Gu Yanzhong said firmly.
