Chapter 017: What a Honor
The gentle breeze slowly blew in.
She stood by the window, closed her eyes and listened quietly to the wind. Sunshine, air, spring scenery...... It's so reassuring to be intertwined.
In the distance, there seemed to be birdsong hovering.
Tang Ning opened his eyes and turned to look at Jia Lan, who looked lazily sitting there. He looks too conspicuous, even after changing out of the flowery costume, he is still too eye-catching.
When he entered, the couple had been quietly watching him.
When Tang Ning followed the hostess down to change clothes, she also teased that the two teenagers around him were more handsome than the other. Even if Tang Ning told her that they were three brothers and sisters, she didn't seem to hear it, and only covered her mouth and snickered.
When Tang Ning changed his clothes and walked out, she exclaimed again, as if Tang Ning was not wearing her old clothes, but some amazing brocade and jade clothes.
That smile, those voices, made Tang Ning uncomfortable.
But she was so hungry.
The faint scent of firewood from her nose made her more and more hungry.
She leaned against the wall, her hands around her stomach.
In the small kitchen, a woman is chopping vegetables.
Ah Yan floated high above her head, staring at her movements, seeing that she was just honestly washing vegetables and cooking, it flew to the stove with satisfaction, and went to see the fire again.
It's a pity that the red stove and the burning wood all reminded it of the burned painting boat, and it couldn't help but feel two points empty.
After a while, the smell of rice wafted out.
The woman went out with her food, and she slowly followed back into the house.
Downing glanced at it.
It immediately said, "Good! ”
I learned another word, and it was really good.
It was secretly smug and floated onto Garan's shoulder.
A few fresh vegetables, hot and fragrant, lined up on the table. The woman smiled and beckoned them to sit down and eat.
The room was small, and when the wind blew, the fragrance spread all over the room.
Jia Lan grabbed the chopsticks and put a bamboo shoot into his mouth. But before he could chew two bites, he frowned, and the chopsticks were put back on the table.
When the woman saw this, she hurriedly asked, "But it's not to your liking?" ”
Spring bamboo shoots at this time of year should be the most delicious.
Tang Xin on the side buried his head in food and did not speak.
Jia Lan said slowly: "I don't want to eat grass......"
With his elbows resting on the table, he propped his chin on, looking aggrieved.
Don't want to eat grass...... Is that the desire to eat meat?
The woman was stunned.
Tang Ning hurriedly smiled and told her not to care, just go and get busy. The fire in the kitchen is not extinguished, pots and pans need to be cleaned, and there is still a lot to do.
The woman looked at them, laughed again, pushed the door open, and went out.
Jia Lan sighed, looked at the food on the table and said, "This pot is grass, and that pot is also grass...... As far as the eye can see, it's all green grass......"
Downing took a bite of food.
It's steaming hot all the way to the heart.
He was still whispering that he didn't want to eat grass.
Tang Ning couldn't help but slander, a guy who has been hungry for hundreds of years and is still a picky eater, even a monster is too ridiculous, right?
At this time, Tang Xin, who was sitting opposite Jia Lan, raised his head and said, "If you want to eat people, you can eat it." These dishes on the table don't become people by themselves. ”
Downing's chewing motion paused.
Tang Xin continued: "People eat livestock, monsters eat people, it is natural. ”
He looked at Garan, but his words seemed to be with Downing.
Downing bit off the vegetable leaf in his mouth.
Sure enough, it's like eating grass, and if there is a choice, she doesn't want to eat it. Putting down the chopsticks, she looked at Tang Xin and said, "Since it is natural and righteous, you and I are also human beings, shouldn't you give it to him?" ”
Tang Xin lowered his head and said softly, "I said it wrong." ”
He continued to eat as usual, but after two bites, he jerked his head up and looked to the left.
Ah Yan hurriedly avoided it.
He couldn't see it, but he could always perceive it.
Really sharp.
This is the first time Ah Yan has encountered such a person. So it deliberately dangled around Tang Xin, trying to get his attention, but after repeating it twice, Tang Xin stopped paying attention to it.
It doesn't matter if it's shouting or flying, no one cares.
Extremely disappointed, Ah Yan came to see Tang Ning.
She said that she didn't reveal her wealth before, and she couldn't show it, so she could only be more cautious, let it follow the woman all the way, keep an eye on eating and drinking, and still haven't thanked it!
But Tang Ning was looking at Jia Lan, and his eyes were very complicated.
Ah Yan couldn't see through it, but when it thought of Fang Cai's conversation, it immediately became unhappy.
What do you mean? Do you really think they're going to eat people?
Hmph, sure enough, people are people, nasty people, pig-brained people, stupider than the little monsters outside Luofu Mountain!
What is good to eat?
How noble the little master of his family is, an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will have a toothache after eating it.
It flew over, flew to Garland's side, and glared at Tang Ning, all over the body full of dissatisfaction.
On the side, Jia Lan sat crookedly, looking out the window with her right hand on her cheek, and suddenly said, "It's going to rain." ”
Tang Ning was startled, got up and walked to the window.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and there was not a trace of rain to be seen.
She said suspiciously, "Where is the rain?" ”
Jia Lan held the chopsticks and began to eat the food one after another, and said, "You wait." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew in from outside, and the sky soon became cloudy. With a few booms, the rain fell with a bang.
The windows were wide open, and water vapor poured in.
Downing lowered the window in distraught.
She had thought that after eating, she would clean up and leave immediately, but now that the rain was pouring down, she didn't know when it would stop. Although you can walk with a robe, it is inconvenient in the end.
Leizhou, a ghost place, rains for 200 days a year, and it is always wet and damp, which is really annoying. And this rain fell in an orderly manner, it was clear that it was a big sun a moment ago, but when it turned its head, it became a storm.
In the darkness, Tang Ning heard Jia Lan ask, "You said before, this place is called Leizhou?" ”
Tang Ning sat back at the table and said, "It's Leizhou." ”
He asked again: "It has been called Leizhou since ancient times?" ”
What kind of problem is this? Tang Ning was a little stunned, and after recalling it for a while, he said uncertainly: "In the past...... It seems to be also called Yezhou. ”
"Yeshu?" Jia Lan suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, ......"
He didn't continue, but said: "This name is appropriate, it's always lightning and thunder, shouldn't it be called Leizhou." ”
He threw away his chopsticks and stretched to his feet.
Downing took a look.
said that he didn't want to eat grass, but the plate in front of him was still a lot empty.
On the other side, Tang Xin also stood up: "The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier." ”
"Tuk-tuk-"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Downing remembered that night, and his heart sank, and he shook his head, trying to get the thought out of his mind, and stepped forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a strong wind rushed in and blew so that she couldn't open her eyes.
I don't know when a puddle of water accumulates under my feet, and before I can see the people outside the door, I stepped on the embroidered shoes, and as soon as I slipped, Tang Ning stumbled out of the door.
In a moment's time, she raised her hand and grabbed the door frame hard. She finally stood firm, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when the wood, which looked very strong, suddenly melted into her hands like mud.
Caught off guard, his body was crooked and he was about to fall.
She hurriedly held on to the wall with her hands and feet, and then she narrowly stood still.
But at the same time, a severed branch suddenly appeared in the wind, like a sharp arrow pulled apart by an eight-stone checkered bow, with a low whistling sound, and shot straight at her!
Tangning wanted to hide, but it was too late.
From the moment she opened the door to the moment the broken branch pierced into her shoulder, it was only a matter of a moment.
If it hadn't been for the timely appearance of Garan and pulling her, the branch would have been pierced into her neck.
……
In the heavy rain, a few steps away, the owner and his wife were looking at them in a daze.
The light was dim.
The knife in the man's hand was glowing.
But the three children, with a lot of money, look like they are hiding from something...... Kill them here, and they won't be discovered......
With a move in their minds, they took advantage of the rain to come out, but they didn't want to see such a scene.
What kind of evil mold is this?
The man looked at the branch, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
When it rains heavily, cold sweat flows, as if it is raining in the body.
Under the eaves, Tang Ning clenched his teeth because of the pain.
Blood gushed out of the wound.
Tang Xin rushed over and held her.
Glancing at her face, Jia Lan's thin lips pursed slightly, her face was cold, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
The woman in the rain suddenly screamed, "Tail-tail-"
Before the words fell, Jia Lan's figure swept away and disappeared from her sight. Almost in the blink of an eye, a beautiful young man with a fox's tail was behind them.
The two hurriedly turned around with their knives, but saw him frowning and dragging out a little boy in black from the void.
