Chapter XVII
Such a night, such a moonlight, such a sparkling lake and a snowy white snow in the distance, it is really reluctant to get off the boat.
The young men were singing and laughing on the boat, and they were drinking and drinking, but this kind of elegant game was really not very friendly to Bai Ling and Bai Yi.
A wine order, sometimes a kind of flower on the wine surface, sometimes a scene, sometimes both, and some other landscapes and scenery must be added, or some ancient poems that limit the source;
It is not counted, the meaning has to be connected together, and the bottom of the wine at the end also has requirements, and it generally has to be a nearby thing - the delicacies and wine on the table, the landscape and the moon outside the window......
This really challenges the ancient literary skills of the two.
In fact, except for the occasional one or two shocking golden sentences, the brothers and sisters can only obediently admit punishment at other times.
At first, Bai Yi was reckless in trying to block the wine for Bai Ling, but it didn't take long for him to be unable to withstand it himself, so Zeng Jiuyan and Zhang Jingzhen took turns to punish him.
It was Bai Ling's turn again, and she shook her head as usual with a half-red and slightly drunken face.
"No, it won't." Bai Ling said in a loud voice, "No, no, still no!" ”
Zeng Jiuyan let out a long sigh on the side, "You two...... You two are deliberately trying to get me to have a few more drinks, right? ”
"You said at the beginning not to take me, you have to take us with you." Bai Ling smiled and grabbed the wine jug on the side and filled Zeng Jiuyan with a cup, "As soon as the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase, drink." ”
Zeng Jiuyan had to drink on his back.
Bai Ling pinched her empty cup in one hand and shook it gently in the air, she smiled, "It's really not easy for me to say a sentence or two once in a while. I think that all the sentences I have written should be sent to the shop, and I should have them framed and taken home to hang on the wall. ”
There was a burst of laughter on all sides.
Zhang Jingzhen clapped her hands again and again, "You can hang it on the wall, and every sentence that the two of you come out of can be framed and hung on the wall!"
"'The heavens and the earth are high, and the universe is infinite; Happiness and sorrow come, and there are many things to know the surplus and the void; It is difficult to cross the mountain, who is sad and lost the way; When you meet in Pingshui, you are all guests from other places! ’
"What are these ancient sayings," Zhang Jingzhen said with a smile, "I'll write it when I get home tonight, and I'll send it to you when I'm done." ”
Bai Ling was obviously a little surprised, "...... Did you memorize it after listening to it once? ”
Zeng Jiuyan laughed on the side, "In the early years, I heard that Master Zhang had the ability to never forget, and I thought it was exaggerated, but now when I see Jingzhen, I know that it is not a false rumor." ”
Only then did Bai Ling suddenly remember that in the "Psychological Handouts" three years ago, Zhang Shouzhong had also relied on rote memorization to put a copy of the handouts into his brain.
Looking at Zhang Jingzhen in front of him, it is really as Zeng Jiuyan said - this is really father and son!
Everyone laughed and started a new round of drinking orders, and this time, Bai Ling was resolute and said that he would not participate in anything.
She clutched her red cheeks and left her position and walked towards the stern.
The fisherman who was rocking the oars was working there, nodded slightly when he saw her come out, and Bai Ling looked back to greet him, and then sat down along the side of the boat, leaning against the wall of the cabin.
The cool breeze outside is refreshing.
She leaned over slightly, reached out to pull the cold water, and before her fingertips touched the surface of the lake, she heard a voice coming from behind her.
"Why did you come out alone?"
Bai Ling turned around and saw Chen Yicong standing behind him, with a cloak on his body and one in his hand.
"Take it."
“…… Thank you," Bai Ling took the cloak and draped it over her body, and she did feel a little cold. "It's too hot in there, I'll come out and be quiet for a while."
Chen Yicong sat silently beside Bai Ling.
The moonlit lake reflected the shadows of the two.
Chen Yicong didn't look into Bai Ling's eyes, but looked at the reflection of the full moon in the lake not far away.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise in the cabin - it seemed that Zeng Jiuyan was laughing and shouting, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Are you having a bad day?" Chen Yicong suddenly asked.
Bai Ling didn't react for a while, "What ......?" ”
"Happiness and sorrow come, there are many people who know the surplus and the void, and they meet in the water, and they are all guests from other places...... These exclamations don't sound very happy. Chen Yicong looked at Bai Ling, "Did anyone mess with you?" ”
Bai Ling smiled dumbly, then shook his head.
"No one messes with me," she leaned against the partition, her right hand wrapped around a strand of hair that fell over her shoulder, and thought for a moment before she said softly, "I'm just homesick." ”
"Chan-san?"
Boling did not answer.
Seeing that Bai Ling was speechless, Chen Yicong continued, "If you want to go back and have a look, I can arrange for you, how long you want to go back and live, it depends on you-"
"It's not Qian Sang, it's not Qian Sang." Bai Ling shook his head again, "...... My dad did grow up in Qiansang, Shuzhou, but I never actually went there. ”
"Then where is the 'home' you want?" Chen Yicong was a little puzzled.
Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, and also looked at the moon in the water in the distance.
That's a good question—but she couldn't tell.
When she came here, it was about three or four years old when she was three or four years old, and from then on, the most common scene in her life was moving.
Moving from one village to another, from one town to another...... All told, the longest place she's been in so far is actually here—Heikyo.
It's been almost seven years.
This suddenly made Bai Ling feel a little ironic, and there was no more like her "hometown" in this world than here.
Chen Yicong looked at the subtle changes in Bai Ling's expression—she was first sleepy, then thoughtful, and now suddenly smiled inexplicably.
Chen Yicong narrowed his eyes, really feeling a little strange.
“…… Is it hard to answer? ”
Silently grabbing her hair, she removed the cord and casually tied her long hair back into a ponytail.
"Let's not talk about this," Bai Ling bluntly diverted the topic, and then looked at Chen Yicong with a little smile, "You don't seem to be happy today, what are you thinking?" ”
"Me?" Chen Yicong's eyes widened slightly, and then he quickly regained his composure, "...... Where do you see I'm unhappy? ”
There was a banging on the table in the cabin, accompanied by laughter - a gesture that threatened to lift the cabin.
Bai Ling and Chen Yicong both looked in the direction of the cabin with some surprise - what the hell are the people inside crazy?
"Ignore them," Chen Yicong moved a few inches in Bai Ling's direction and said softly, "We said ours." ”
Bai Ling smiled and looked at the young man beside him, "During the banquet just now, except for the time when you took turns to drink, you hardly spoke, and you couldn't give up...... Got something on your mind? ”
“…… Well. Chen Yicong nodded calmly, "Yes." ”
Bai Ling propped up his side face, "What? ”
