Chapter 64: The Old Man Comes from the South
After Zuo Yin and Bai Yifeng got out of the lecture hall, they hired a car at the door, today is the first day of the entrance test of the three major hospitals, and all the coachmen rushed over early.
On the one hand, there is money to be made, but on the other hand, it is also to rub the vitality of the students.
After Zuo Yin and Bai Yifeng got into the car, the car moved forward, but before the two of them could sit down, the sound of the carriage driver sounded.
"I said that the two little brothers, who came out so early, seem to be confident in answering the questions."
Bai Yifeng was a self-acquaintance, raised the door curtain, and ignored the slightest cold wind, and smiled directly: "This big brother is talking there, but our brothers are self-aware, instead of struggling to answer the questions, it is better to end it early and go home early." β
The groom laughed heartily a few times, turned his back to them, waved the horsewhip in his right hand, stretched out his thumb in his left hand, and exclaimed: "This little brother is stable, family is indeed the most important, I have finished your trip, and I will take the car home." β
Zuo Yin looked at the bustling night scene in Bian'an City through the door and window of the carriage, revealing emotion.
BMW carved cars are full of fragrance.
The ancients did not deceive me.
Along the way, the streets and alleys were brightly lit, reflecting the flow of people, and the driver had to slow down to prevent people from bumping into people.
In the night market, there are people who drag their families out to play, and there are young people who are really in their youth talking and laughing in groups, looking at those fresh faces, Zuo Yin can't help but smile slightly.
What an imperial capital Bian'an.
On both sides of the street, there are rows of houses, tea houses, butcher shops, wine shops, public corridors, temples, etc., as well as those who buy and sell incense, paper and horses, jewels and jade, swords, guns and bows, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, as well as fortune telling, local snacks, and juggling.
In the market, there are people rubbing shoulders with each other, there are merchants full of wealth, there are off-duty officials on horseback, there are small merchants and vendors selling along the streets, there are young scholars, and there are disabled old people begging.
All kinds of characters, everything.
Three teachings and nine streams, everything is prepared.
Along the way, Bai Yifeng excitedly pointed out this and that, what is the best dim sum in this store, and the freshest fruit in that store, Zuo Yin secretly added a foodie evaluation in his heart after hearing this person's chatter.
The coachman hired by the two of them obviously studied these things, and what Bai Yifeng said was that ordinary people could access things, and both of them were enthusiastic to act as guides for Zuo Yin.
Zuo Yin was interested in his heart, and he also wrote down these interesting points one by one.
Bai Yifeng saw Zuo Yin's memory, and said mysteriously: "Brother Zuo don't worry, after our test is over, we will directly attend more than ten days of classes, and there will be a holiday two days before the Lantern Festival, and then brother, I will take you to visit the lanterns."
You must know that when the whole city of Bian'an City releases prayer lanterns together, it will be as bright as the starry sky. β
The coachman was also interested, and followed Bai Yifeng's words, and continued: "Haha, what this little brother said is true, the prayer lantern of the Lantern Festival in Bian'an City is indeed a great spectacle. β
Between the words and laughter of the three people, Bai Yifeng's home also arrived.
When he got out of the car, Bai Yifeng insisted on having a treat, but Zuo Yin refuted: "Brother Bai, don't fight, anyway, I have to eat and sleep tonight, if you still pay for the road, I don't want to go." β
Bai Yifeng no longer insisted, and after the two got out of the car, the coachman said hello and gradually left.
It is already night, from the east of the city to the north of the city, the distance is not close, the moonlight gently obliquely illuminates the house in front of Zuo Yin, but it is an ordinary residential house, not big or small.
It looks like there are about three houses.
Zuo Yin didn't care, and he didn't ask much, although his brother surnamed Bai, although they had only met for one day, the relationship between the two seemed to be reunited after a long absence, and it was like old friends at first sight.
Bai Yifeng was generous, pulled Zuo Yin directly, pushed open the far door, and entered the courtyard directly.
The courtyard is about seven feet long, and there are houses on both sides and inside, but only two places are lit.
Although the dean is small, there is a kind of pastoral taste, in the corner of the door just entered, densely planted with all kinds of vegetables, and the care is very careful, the yard is also very clean, and the flowers and plants used for decoration are elegant.
Zuo Yin couldn't help but be a little amazed, such a courtyard can also be dressed up with a delicate feeling.
Bai Yifeng noticed Zuo Yin's surprise, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "These are all my sister's tinkering, anyway, I don't know much about these flowers and plants, hehe." β
Zuo Yin laughed, this friend of his, if he wants to talk about eating, of course he will not doubt it, but if he wants to talk about growing vegetables, then say it separately.
At this moment, the crisp sound of several bells came, but the bell above the door of the innermost house was touched, and in such a quiet moonlight, it seemed very pleasing to the ear.
A girl dressed in a flower dress jumped out prettyly, under the eaves, the moonlight was blocked, and Zuo Yin looked down on her face.
The girl saw the two people in the courtyard and called softly, "Brother." β
Bai Yifeng was overjoyed, looked back at Zuo Yin, and was about to introduce the two to each other, but the girl suddenly rushed over, and for a while, Zuo Yin looked at him suspiciously, and Bai Yifeng was a little afraid, and wanted to hide behind Zuo Yin.
The girl came directly to the two of them, stretched out her hand, grabbed Bai Yifeng's arm directly, and pulled him out from behind Zuo Yin.
She said sternly: "Say, brother, what did you do on the road and come back so late?" β
Under the moonlight, the girl's slightly childish face was revealed, about thirteen or fourteen years old, the bangs in front of her covered her forehead, her eyes were as bright as water, she was staring at Bai Yifeng with a funny look, her weak shoulders were extremely slender, and her pink lips were just pursed.
Bai Yifeng hurriedly forged, "Sister, sister, you just bypass me, I hit it off with Brother Zuo today, so when I brought him back, I stopped and stopped along the way, and introduced him to the scenic spots of Bian'an City, which was delayed for a while." β
Seeing that her brother had already explained weakly, the girl no longer entangled, took a step back and bowed to Zuo Yin.
Zuo Yin hurriedly returned the salute, these two people, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a sister and brother relationship.
This made him a little helpless.
The girl raised her head and looked at her gently, which made Zuo Yin's heart tremble, "This brother of mine, although he is in a familiar mood, can bring his friends home, and Your Excellency is the first." β
Zuo Yin was about to explain something, but Bai Yifeng was already shouting dissatisfiedly, "What Your Excellency, you should be called Brother Zuo, just like me." β
Immediately, someone smiled apologetically at Zuo Yin: "Little sister is not well disciplined, Brother Zuo will seeββ"
Before he finished speaking, the man's voice changed from the word "see" to a series of sharp voices, but it was his arm that was pinched by his sister again, making someone miserable.
Zuo Yin smiled, the relationship between this brother and sister is really good, he directly arched his hand and said: "Zuo Yin has seen-"
Suddenly found that he didn't know what this sister's name was.
Bai Yifeng endured the pain and said solemnly: "Bai Ying, you can also call her Bai Xiongβ"
Someone made another terrible sound.
Now Zuo Yin saw it clearly, Bai Yin was not only pinched, but also twisted when he pinched, and Zuo Yin's heart was beating when he saw it.
Bai Ying's subordinates showed no mercy, but there was a sweet smile on his face, showing his teeth, and he said softly to Zuo Yin: "Welcome Brother Zuo, let's go in." β
After that, he let go of the hand that had been pinching Bai Yifeng.
Someone hurriedly and deliberately gasped for breath, as if he had experienced a catastrophe of life and death.
Zuo Yin saw that Bai Ying had already led the way towards the back room, and he patted Bai Yifeng's shoulder sympathetically, "Over the years, I've worked hard for you." β
Bai Yifeng pretended to be indifferent at this time, waved his hand, and said loudly: "What does Brother Zuo say, as an elder brother, it is also appropriate to care about my sister and be tolerant." β
Zuo Yin smiled, but didn't say anything.
However, Bai Yifeng and Bai Wei's laughter also made his heart a little warm.
It's nice to have such a family relationship.
When he entered the house, the bell on the door curtain rang pleasantly, and Bai Yifeng saw that Zuo Yin had noticed this, and said half disdainfully and half proudly: "My sister, I love to tinker with bits and pieces." β
Zuo Yin nodded, and then said, "It's a pity." β
Bai Yifeng was stunned, "It's a pity." β
Zuo Yin would also pretend to be mysterious at this time, he smiled at Bai Yifeng, "I'll tell you later." β
After entering the back room, Zuo Yin found that there was a middle-aged man next to the dining table, about forty years old, with a thin body and four or five hideous scars on his face.
Zuo Yin could naturally see that these scars should have been caused by weapons such as swords.
When the middle-aged man saw them coming in, he nodded slightly at Zuo Yin, and then said, "It's been noisy in the yard for so long, hurry up and eat." β
The voice is tranquil, which is the spirit that can only be cultivated by living a simple life for a long time.
In stark contrast to the hideous scars on his face.
Bai Yifeng was not in a hurry to sit down, and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Second uncle, I will introduce you to an old man." β
Old friend?
The middle-aged man glanced at Zuo Yin, his eyes showed doubts, and then his eyes went down and fixed on the saber on Zuo Yin's waist.
Seeing Bai Yifeng nodding, Zuo Yin hesitated, and finally untied the knife and handed it to the middle-aged man.
Bai Wei held the tea and looked at it with complicated eyes.
The middle-aged man was like a treasure, gently stroking the blade of the knife, and tears were sprinkled little by little.
Old tears are rampant.
He trembled and said: "Fire loves Yellow Spring, and the tiger walks in the blue." β
In the voice, there is a vastness.
Zuo Yin put his right hand on his chest and said in a deep voice:
"Fire loves yellow springs, and tigers fall brightly."
"Fire Tiger Guard, Zuo Yin, I've seen my predecessors."
