Chapter 29 The pigeon fancier
The snow is red outside the door, but the plum fragrance is in the wind. The plum blossoms of the red plum forest outside Xiaoxiang Garden are blooming delicately like fire, and the arrow target that has been abandoned for a long time in the courtyard looks a little lonely.
Su Man casually picked up the bow and crossbow in the courtyard that he hadn't practiced for a long time, and adjusted the tightness of the bowstring.
Then find a suitable position, spread your feet shoulder-width apart, elbow and shoulder level, clasp the three fingers of your right hand under your chin, pull your arms outward and release your fingers.
βduang~~β
"Yo, yes, is it a bow in hand" After muttering to himself, Su Man picked an arrow from the quiver on the side, pulled the bowstring according to the action just now, squinted his eyes, and let go after aiming at the target, quickly and neatly.
Well...... Visual inspection of the five rings...... There are only five rings.
Ah~~ Five rings, you have one more ring than the fourth ring...... Ah~~ Five rings, you are one ring less than the sixth ring...... Yes~~
Su Man's mind suddenly remembered Xiao Yueyue's song of the five rings, Oh no, like a magic sound, I really got rusty after not practicing my skills for a long time. Yes~~
Su Man shook his head, drove away the magic sound in his head, and shook the goosebumps all over his body. Immediately bent down and took a few more arrows from the bamboo bucket on the ground to aim at the target, and swished several arrows in succession.
Seven rings, seven rings, eight rings, eight rings, nine rings, nine rings, red hearts, red hearts, red hearts!
After connecting the three yuan, Su Man breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and sat down on the floor in Xiaoxiang Garden tiredly.
The few girls who swept in Li Yuanfang's yard were all looking sideways at the eldest lady of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion. It's really a good archery, except for Mrs., there is no female in the courtyard who can hit the heart three times in a row. Sure enough, they are all the daughters of military generals.
At this moment, Li Yuanfang in the house also wrote a letter, she got up and walked under the eaves and tied it to the feet of a pigeon. Gently patting the pigeon's head and giving it a slight boost into the air, the pigeon flapped its wings and flew high.
Today is the day to reply to Du Juan, Li Yuanfang has always thought that Du Juan is an older sister in the capital, because the other party's handwriting is soft, and the paper has a faint fragrance. And she, oh no, he had a very unique opinion on many things, such as whether a woman could go into business or not, and not be trapped in the house and travel all over the world, and so on, which was not at all like that of a man at that time.
Li Yuanfang shook his head slightly and smiled, it turned out that he was also shallow, saying that most men looked down on women, but didn't he think that most men were machismo?
After the shadow of the pigeon was no longer visible in the air, Li Yuanfang was about to get up and go out, and when she passed by the bronze mirror in the room, she stopped and took a closer look.
In the bronze mirror, the white and chubby big round face, a lump of flesh squeezed the originally delicate facial features into deformation. No one can think of Li Yuanfang five years ago who looked like He Rongrong.
I only remember that back then, Li Yuanying often took her little sister out of the house, and praised her little sister when she met people, and she was a proper brainless sister brother. However, Li Yunfang back then was really small and cute, pink and tender like a refined glutinous rice dumpling. It's just that now, the little group has become a big birthday bag, hehe!
Da Shoubao opened the door and saw Su Man sitting in the courtyard, holding the abandoned quiver in the yard, the other party heard the sound of opening the door, looked back at her and said, "How are you?" Then it's time for us to leave for Qi Yulou. It's late, it's time for Song Ci to talk again"
However, if Bai Qirui had arrived early, she might have thought we would have arrived later. Hehe!
"Aren't you curious?"
Hearing this, Su Man followed Li Yuanfang's eyes to look at the flock of pigeons under the corridor, and said with a slight smile
"Curiosity kills the cat!"
"What?"
"If you want to tell me, you'll tell me, so why should I ask? If you don't want to say it, I'm asking in vain. β
Su Man's words suddenly made Li Yuanfang in a trance, recalling that Brother Yuanying seemed to have said similar things to her back then.
"If you want to tell your brother, your brother will naturally listen, and if you don't want to say it, your brother won't ask!"
Yes, brother, I've always been such a gentle existence. Brother, now I have a visitor from heaven who can talk like my brother. Oh no, one and a half, and half where the pigeons flew.
So don't worry about me, I will be fine, and I will be filial to our parents for your share. I hope you will also ascend to Bliss as soon as possible, don't worry about us, our house will get better and better.
A gust of wind blew, and it seemed to be able to bring what Yuan Fang wanted to bring to Yuan Ying in the "distance".
Afterwards, Li Yuanfang and Su Man entered Su Man's carriage together, and through the window, she watched the people outside come and go on a lively Suzaku Street. Pedestrians on the road are smiling and busy preparing New Year's goods, and it will be the New Year in January.
People's moods are different, and the scenery they see is also different. Li Yuanfang glanced at Su Man beside him and smiled slightly
"Actually, I wrote back to my fanciers."
"A pigeon fancier?"
"Well, when I was six years old, an injured pigeon flew in the yard, and I kept it in the yard and took care of it, and within two days it was cured and flew away.
However, every few days it flies back to me for two days of bird food that I have prepared. β
Li Yuanfang touched the delicate brocade bag on her waist, but when Su Man saw the bag, her face was ugly, after all, she and Song Ci were stupid and secretly tasted the "food" there while Yuanfang didn't know.
"One day, coinciding with the Chinese New Year, I tied a peace blessing to the foot of a pigeon, which was originally intended to be auspicious, and who really thought that I received a letter a few days later.
The other party seemed to be very grateful for my New Year's gift, just a blessing of peace, but he gave me a garnet-carved rhododendron hairpin.
Of course, I naturally didn't accept other people's gifts in vain, so I still asked my brother to accompany me to buy an accessory, a pendant that resembled jade glutinous rice dumplings. But my brother didn't know that I was going to give it to a pigeon fancier at that time.
Not long after that, my brother left, and I was very sad, sad and scared, but I just wrote my feelings for my brother in the letter. At that time, I only dared to tell the cuckoo some real thoughts."
"Cuckoo?"
"Well, my fancier's name."
"It's not your real name!"
"Probably not my real name." Li Yuanfang thought of the other party's last letter to advise her not to fall in love with herself, he was a man who was like a fake, and he didn't have a hobby of Longyang. If it were a man, it would be rare to give himself a name: the cuckoo.
However, I think back carefully that the cuckoo did not call himself cuckoo at first, it was Li Yuanfang who didn't know how to lift the pen when he wrote the letter, and he didn't know how to call the other party.
"So you were writing to the cuckoo?" Su Man remembered that he had just seen a pigeon fly away from under Yuan Fang's window, and it seemed that something was still tied to his legs.
"Well, thanks to his previous relief, I have completely accepted the fact that my brother has passed away and regained my strength." Li Yuanfang looked at Su Man's eyes with a sparkle in his eyes, "Thank you, Xiaoman!" β
The serious and sincere thanks made the cheeky Su Man scratch the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said with red ears, "Thank you between you and me, thank you......"
"By the way, I always thought that Cuckoo was a big sister trapped in the house. As everyone knows, I didn't know that he was a man half a month ago.
From his letters, it appears that he is trapped in a very small house. He longs for the vast world, but he doesn't want to trouble his parents and make them worry, so he is willing to stay quietly in the small mansion.
Or maybe he is a person who is sick and needs to rely on decoction to sustain his life, and he can't go out of the house to see the world outside after a long illness......."
----------------------------------------------------
The "long-sick couch" man who had just left the house saw a pigeon flying in the direction of his study, so he hurriedly turned back to the house.
When I arrived in the main courtyard, I swept around the pigeon brigade in the house, and none of them had "material" on their feet. There was a hint of loss in his eyes, Ji Yechen was not there, Siying didn't reply, and the days were really boring.
Then there was a cooing sound from the eaves, and when he looked up, there seemed to be a hint of joy in his eyes, and he flew up to the roof with a quick step on the moon, and in a moment his face darkened, and he immediately fell back to the ground with the pigeon in his arms. He looked around carefully, but there was no one, and no one noticed his previous light work.
Bai Qirui breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Cai got carried away for a while. He grabbed the pigeon and gently removed the letter from the other's feet. Seeing that it was not too early, he took the letterhead and hurried out of the house, waiting to see it in the carriage later.
It's just that as soon as Bai Qirui left, a pair of beautiful Shu brocade shoes in a corner of the house were put into the original shadow.
------------------------------------------------------
"Yuan Fang, I think that cuckoo of yours, hmm......" Su Man considered the words for a while, and finally frowned slightly and said, "In my world, this kind of pen pal, netizens, are all dying of seeing the light"
"Are they light-phobic?" Li Yuanfang was surprised that the people of the Su Man world were all living underground? If you see the light, you will die......
"It's not the literal meaning," Su Man sighed and said, "It's the kind of friend who didn't meet before, but after meeting, he found that the other party was completely different from what he imagined, and then he completely cut off contact." β
"Why?" Li Yuanfang didn't understand why people in the world stopped contacting pigeon fanciers after meeting them.
"It's that you think the other person is...... It's a beautiful man in Beijing, for example...... For example, white QQ. But he was, but he was...... A shriveled little old man like Master Shen. That is not yet a light death! β
"Then I don't understand even more, wouldn't it be happier to be a fancier with a university like my master, why would I die of light?"
"...... "In this regard, we can't chat, if Song Ci is concerned, he will definitely understand me."
"Wait, I'll tell you some examples of cases, many, many...... Well, the civil and criminal case after the netizen met ......."
Li Yuanfang is a smart person in the end, although he doesn't understand the reason why the pigeon fancier died when he saw the light, but I heard Su Man so tangled and said to her some stories about what kind of cyber liars in their world and so on. Naturally, I understand in my heart that eight or nine are not far from ten.
"Xiaoman, did you misunderstand something?"
"Huh?!"
"Cuckoo and I are just pigeon fanciers, we don't see each other, and the mystery is like talking to people from another world.
Besides, the cuckoo I like is just the flower on the other end of the pigeon, and if I don't have that mystery, maybe I won't be able to talk to her about my thoughts again.
So you don't have to worry about those....... Hehe, things happen. β
Li Yuanfang covered her mouth and smiled at this strange visitor who was chewing hard and "online dating" with her science popularization.
"......" is really his own life, Yuan Fang only learned that Du Juan is a man not long ago, so naturally he doesn't know how to love online, what are he thinking!
I just think that Yuan Fang is a woman who is introverted and affectionate, and she won't like people easily, if she likes it, she will ...... It can be seen when you think about the other party's feelings for your brother.
And just now she mentioned that the cuckoo knows women so well and the style of the mother's pao, I feel like a veteran in the wind and moon field. Su Man can't be blamed for thinking about Du Juan with the worst thoughts, it's just that Yuan Fang at this time is the person she trusts the most in this world.
The more you care, the more you think, and the more you care, the more you care.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze"
Bai Qirui rubbed his nose, wiped his hands with a brocade hand, and was about to open the letterbox after burning incense and bathing.
In the past, Ji Yechen said that he was always yin and yang when he read Siying's letters, and if Siying saw it, he would definitely not have anything to do with him again, saying that he was not manly.
Shh Ji Yechen's mouth!
Thinking about it, if he could meet and play with Siying's younger brother in the capital, he Ji Yechen might not be his first friend. It's just that Bai Chery also knows that the reply that he can look forward to so much is also because they have never seen it, and they can show themselves and chat without worry.
If you really know the identities of both parties, I'm afraid it will be ...... He would...... A rare trace of ruthlessness flashed in Bai Qirui's eyes.
It's just that after reading today's letter, Bai Qirui's mouth hasn't been closed for a long time, he, he, he, he...... It's her.
It's not Siying's younger brother, it's Siying's younger sister...... This was as shocking as telling him that Ji Yechen was a woman. Bai Qirui kept recalling what Si Ying's letter described, her brother was gone, and the relationship between the family and the family needed him, oh no, she was the one to maintain.
Bai Qirui always thought that he was a teenager about seven years old, withstanding the pressure to inherit the will of his eldest brother and maintain the glory of the family. Her "masculine" handwriting and her views on things are very different from ordinary women.
The main thing is that this girl is not afraid of toads...... Toad, unbelievable, that thing is ugly in shape or appearance, it is ugly, and it makes people goosebumps when they think about it!
The point is that this girl told him that she also likes to eat toads...... That thing can still be eaten!!
The girl told him that when she was a child, she liked to visit her grandfather with her brother in May and June. My grandfather would also take them to the countryside to catch toads and smoke them.
She called it "smoked brush", which was a unique delicacy created by her grandfather, which was a delicious delicacy after peeling, drying, and pickling toads. The smoked toad has a fresh and tender skin, golden color and delicious taste, and you will definitely linger after eating it once.
"Vomit~~"
Bai Qirui didn't dare to think about that picture, he was about to vomit, is this something that a normal girl would do?
"Shizi, it's here"
Bai Qirui got out of the carriage, and it happened that Su Man and Li Yuanfang's carriage also arrived. Several people stopped thinking in the car, put on a "mask", looked at each other and smiled, politely and outside.
A flock of pigeons flew in the air from north to south.
