Chapter 18: Gusu Yicheng (4)
Summer evenings always bring a hint of noon heat, and the coolness of the night, and a little stuffy, which makes people breathless.
The Mirror River in Gusu flows from the west of the city to the east of the city, from the most prosperous and lively place to the quietest village.
And Lan Yicheng didn't take her to a sparsely populated place this time, and specially hired a small boat with Accord to wander in a prosperous and rich place, the hull of this boat is carved with waves and auspicious cloud patterns, and the boatman walks from the bow to the stern with a pole in his hand, and the boat slowly drives on the mirror river.
In the Accord, according to the instructions in advance, a sleeping couch was placed here, and Lan Yicheng lazily reclined on the couch, his hand on his slightly bent leg, looking at the innocent little girl in front of him with interest.
Leng Banxia knelt on the cushion, looked at the drunken chicken on the table in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, looked at the pot of sake in front of him that had not yet been opened, and said very puzzledly: "Senior Lan, what does it feel like to be drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows?"
"Senpai? Who promised me just now? Lan Yicheng looked at Leng Banxia and said with a smile.
Leng Banxia lowered his head a little shyly, and only after a long time did he hesitate and said, "Blue ...... Big brother ......" The voice fell, and Leng Banxia said embarrassedly: "But ...... You are an old friend of the family, it is more than enough to be my uncle, no matter how old you are, you can be my father, it is a bit ...... to call you big brother"
Lan Yicheng breathed a long sigh of relief, chuckled and said, "But am I like thirty or forty years old?" ”
Leng Banxia smiled slightly: "It's not like, Lan Qian...... Brother Lan, you're young! ”
Lan Yicheng glanced outside the boat, and saw that the time was almost up, so he got up very calmly, put the two palm-sized wine glasses on the table, one on each side in front of Leng Banxia, and then picked up the sake and poured it for Leng Banxia and his own wine glasses.
"Don't you want to know what it's like to be drunk? Drink it and you'll know! After Lan Yicheng finished speaking, he immediately picked up his wine glass and threw his head up.
Leng Banxia saw him drink a glass, and let down his guard, hesitated and slowly picked up the wine glass, just put it under his nose, he smelled a faint smell of osmanthus, but he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and took a sip.
This wine is sweet in the mouth, reverberating in the mouth, full of the taste of osmanthus, when the wine slowly flows down the throat and belly, the mouth slowly tastes the bitterness of osmanthus and the slight spicy of sake.
A glass of belly, I didn't feel anything cold, I picked up the wine jug and poured another glass, holding the wine glass like a treasure, my curiosity became heavier than just now, and the speed at which the wine glass bottomed out was faster than just now.
After two glasses of wine, Leng Banxia's fair face gradually flushed, his eyes were a little blurry, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with joy and excitement.
Lan Yicheng saw that Leng Banxia's curiosity came up, and he wanted to pick up the wine jug and pour a glass, so he immediately reached out to stop her, took the wine jug from her hand, and said, "This wine has a lot of momentum, don't drink it!"
Leng Banxia was already a little drunk at this time, grinned and stood up on the table, his little face was flushed, he walked to Lan Yicheng's side excitedly, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: "Brother Lan, is this what it feels like to be drunk?" Hehehe~ I seem to see the stars in front of my eyes......" The voice fell, looked down at his feet, stomped with his feet very excitedly, turned his gaze to Lan Yicheng, and said with some ignorance and excitement: "I feel that I am not on the boat, it is like stepping on cotton, soft and loose...... And you, Big Brother Lan...... Hee-hee-hee~ How did you change two? ”
Lan Yicheng stretched out his hand to help Leng Banxia, who was staggering and unsteady on the side, grabbed her hand, looked down at the drunken little girl in his arms, and smiled slightly wickedly at the corner of his mouth.
Before Lan Yicheng could speak, Leng Banxia pointed at him, a little smiled, his eyes were glowing with astigmatism, and he chuckled: "Hehehehe~ I didn't expect you to laugh badly......"
"You're drunk, I'll take you to the bow of the boat to blow the wind and breathe!" Lan Yicheng helped Leng Banxia in his arms and slowly walked to the bow of the boat.
Lan Yicheng helped Leng Banxia to stand at the head of the bridge, the majesty of the evening was blowing slowly, he glanced back at the boatman, a look was lost, and the speed of the boat slowly slowed down in the hands of the boatman.
And the tea shop on the shore, the three tables on the shore, all sat all kinds of passers-by, seeing Lan Yicheng standing at the bridge, the people at the three tables all glanced at each other, and then said loudly:
"Do you know that murderous female demon Mantuo of the Five Poisons Sect?"
"But the demon Mantuo who poisoned hundreds of people ten years ago, and his whereabouts are unknown?"
"According to the news on the rivers and lakes, she has survived to this day, what a disaster for thousands of years!"
"Hey! Did you know? I heard that Mantuo's lover lost her back then, so she killed people to vent her anger and went crazy, and all the good-looking young men in the surrounding villages were kidnapped by her and became a guest of the scene. ”
"There's still one in the back! None of these people survived to the next day, and the corpses thrown on the mass graves on the outskirts of the city were all killed by Mantuo! ”
"Hey! You say...... How old would she have lived to be? ”
"Thirty-something, right? It is said that she was just over 20 years old when she came down the mountain, which is a pity......"
"What a pity! It's just a slut devil with countless blood on her hands, if she is still alive, she will definitely be attacked by a hundred schools! ”
All this is like saying to Leng Banxia at the bow of the boat, all this fell into Leng Banxia's ears, and he was suddenly angry, it was already the strength of the wine, but now there was a kind of newborn calf impulse not afraid of tigers, directly pointed at those people on the shore, and said loudly: "What are you talking about!" I don't allow you to insult my Master! Don't insult her! ”
A big man on the tea table smashed the teacup on the table, and said viciously: "She still uses us to insult?" Back then, the top brand of the brothel was not as beautiful as her, and the children on the roadside all knew: a red plum in the heart, and a mandala on the couch! In the whole world, who doesn't know who doesn't know, how many birthmarks there are on her body, she is so unbearable that she needs us to insult? Hum! ”
"You! You guys...... You guys are so hateful! Leng Banxia looked at these people angrily, took out a small white porcelain bottle from the cloth pocket he carried with him, pointed at them and said again: "If you dare to slander my master, you will be speechless for a year and a half!"
Lan Yicheng stood behind Leng Banxia, looked at it expressionlessly for a long time, and then waved his hand at the three tables on the shore, and those people left immediately.
Seeing that Leng Banxia was about to chase after her, Lan Yicheng immediately pretended to be concerned and immediately grabbed her, and Leng Banxia was angry, how could he let Lan Yicheng pull it, under the twisting of the two compartments, Lan Yicheng raised his hand to the side of the boat and hit it, and the boat instantly shook because of the palm wind.
Lan Yicheng's hand was slightly loosened, Leng Banxia fell into the water, Lan Yicheng stood at the bow of the boat and looked coldly at Leng Banxia fluttering in the water.
And Leng Banxia also woke up most of the wine at this time, she couldn't swim, she couldn't exert her strength in the water, and she couldn't use half of her martial arts.
The river kept beating and spreading at her mouth and nose, and the water in her nose made her open her mouth involuntarily, but a mouth of water choked down her throat.
Lan Yicheng on the boat watched Leng Banxia slowly stop fluttering, raised his hand and turned his wrist, smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, and then changed his face, looking very nervous, and shouted loudly: "Banxia!"
When the words fell, he jumped into the water, held his breath, dived into the water, and swam towards Leng Banxia.
And the last time Leng Banxia lost consciousness was to see Lan Yicheng jump into the water and desperately save her.
Lan Yicheng dragged Leng Banxia onto the boat, and with a light touch on the major acupoints on her body, he sealed the eight veins of the Qi Sutra on her body, leaving her last breath in her chest.
Lan Yicheng took out a small green porcelain bottle from Leng Banxia's pocket, opened the cork at the mouth of the bottle, put it under his nose and smelled it, then hooked his hand towards the boatman, handed the small green porcelain bottle to the boatman, and then said coldly: "Don't show your feet, be clean!"
When the words fell, he looked at the clothes on Leng Banxia's body, and said again: "Buy a woman's clothes and find a grandmother to come over!"
When Leng Banxia woke up, it was already night, she was lying on the couch in the Accord on the boat, Lan Yicheng was kneeling at the table facing her, holding the wine glass with half a glass of wine left.
Leng Banxia woke up and looked around, and saw at a glance that her clothes were thrown on the bow of the boat, and she was covered with a blue brocade quilt.
After seeing that the Shougong sand on his arm was safe and sound for the first time, he quickly looked at his body, but found that he had already changed into a white inner lining and close-fitting water pants of the same color.
Leng Banxia suddenly pulled the brocade quilt back and dodged, like a frightened kitten, looking at Lan Yicheng with vigilance, his face was extremely red in an instant, a little redder than when he was drunk.
"I ...... My clothes ......," Leng Banxia said with a bowed head.
"If you mind, go home with me!" Lan Yicheng wanted to make fun of her thoughts, and then said while drinking without changing his face.
Leng Banxia jumped off the couch a little annoyed, walked to Lan Yicheng's side, gritted his teeth and pointed at him and said, "You take advantage of people's danger, despicable and shameless!"
Lan Yicheng deliberately pretended to be a little angry at this time and slammed the wine glass on the table, let out a long sigh of relief, stood up to face her, took Leng Banxia's hand and put it on his heart, and said very aggrievedly: "You forgot what happened just now?" Can't remember why my shirt was wet? ”
"...... you" Leng Banxia thought about it, and she had a splitting headache, only remembering that she fell into the water, and it was Lan Yicheng who rescued her, and suddenly staggered back, looking at the side in a dilemma, ashamed and angry, and said, "What about the clothes and explanation?"
Lan Yicheng walked to the bow of the boat with a calm face and a clear conscience, and kicked the clothes thrown on the bow of the boat, only to see that the deck of the small boat was already dark, but fortunately there was a storage compartment below, and there was no big problem.
He pointed to the black deck, looked at Leng Banxia and explained: "Your clothes are smeared with poison and stained with water and worn on your body, Leng girl, you will die!"
The words fell, Leng Banxia was a little at a loss and slowly staggered back a few steps, I couldn't say a word, she didn't know what to say, Lan Yicheng was to her, she was the master's old friend and a person who was kind to her, but when this happened, was she going to kill him?
Lan Yicheng looked at Leng Banxia, who was lost on the side, then shook his head and smiled, let out a long sigh of relief, walked to her side, bowed his head and said, "Tease you!" I asked my grandmother on the side of the road to change your clothes, which scared you out just now, right? ”
Leng Banxia reacted after hearing this, and was even more ashamed, raised his hand and pulled Lan Yicheng back, stomped his feet angrily and turned his back to him, and said, "Brother Lan, how are you ...... How can you do that! ”
