Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dog Barks in the Night
The master slowly got out of bed, and solemnly clasped his fists and saluted, "It was indeed the apprentice's fault before, and Mr. Yangshuo's punishment was not too heavy, as the so-called small punishment and big commandment, the apprentice has also been taught a lesson, and he will definitely not do anything out of the ordinary in the future, this should have me apologized to Mr. Yangshuo." But Mr. Yangshuo apologized first, but I didn't know what to say, hehe, Mr. Yangshuo, please take a seat. ”
When Beiyang Shuo heard this, he immediately smiled and politely greeted the master, and sat down at the same time, while taking a seat, the master couldn't help but glance at the flower fairy, frowned slightly, and said, "But I don't know who this is?" ”
"Oh, this is my little apprentice flower fairy." Beiyang Shuo glanced lightly at the girl who was standing on the side with her head slightly bowed, and then sighed lightly: "When I traveled in the northwest border many years ago, I passed by a deserted village, when she was abandoned at the entrance of the deserted village, I picked her up, and then I tried to know that she was born with a congenital disability, even if she grew up, she couldn't speak, and her mind was not sound, and she was very different from normal people. ”
I didn't expect Hua Xian to have such a tragic fate, and she didn't react to my words at all, it turned out that it was also because of her incompleteness, that is, she was a fool?
However, I have never seen a fool who can do housework in an orderly manner, and waiting for this Beiyangshuo is also cautious, and there is no mistake, so I don't believe that Huaxian is a fool at all, maybe Beiyangshuo is making excuses for himself to bully Huaxian. I won't be fooled, it must be that Huaxian doesn't dare to disobey him, so he hasn't dared to express it, even if he can't speak, at least he can have body language, or write it.
I don't even dare to do this, which shows how terrible the threat of Beiyangshuo is to the flower fairy!
When the master heard this, he didn't say anything more, but poured a cup of tea for Beiyangshuo, handed it over, and asked casually, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Yangshuo coming to Xiangxi?" ”
Beiyang Shuo smiled and took the teacup, slowly put it on the table, and replied: "Don't hide it from Daoist Yang, my hometown where I grew up is here. ”
"Oh?" The master was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "It turns out that this Xiangxi is Mr. Yangshuo's childhood hometown, so why did Mr. Yangshuo go to the north?" Hehe, please forgive me for asking more, I came to your place with the apprentices, and I was unfamiliar with people for a while, and I met people in practice by chance, so it was inevitable that there would be more gossip. ”
Beiyang Shuo shook his head slightly: "It's okay, in fact, I am also in the past few decades, the first time I returned to my hometown, now it is raining outside, and I have no relatives, I met Yang Daochang, fortunately, so it doesn't hurt for us to talk about some family life, speaking of my hometown, adjacent to Tuojiang, back to Nanhua, it is also a land rich in fish and rice, but when I was a child, there was a plague in the village for no reason, and everyone in the family died, leaving me alone, who was picked up by relatives and fed adults. ”
Master's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Mr. Yangshuo's hometown is at the foot of Nanhua Mountain?" It's really strange, our trip is also to the vicinity of Nanhua Mountain, which is in response to the words of the ancients who met Keqing in another land......"
When Beiyang Shuo heard this, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said: "I still remember that our village is called Linshui Village, and next to a big town called Liantai Town, at that time, all the people in our village died, only Liantai Town is still intact, presumably the current Linshui Village has completely disappeared." ”
The master sighed slightly: "The vicissitudes of the world are a few sorrowful, drinking landscapes, smoke and rain buildings, even if there is empathy for the mountains and rivers, dare to ask the gods where to travel?" ”
"Huh! A good one dares to ask where the immortals are swimming, Yang Daochang is really transcendent, this heart is in this realm, admire and admire! Beiyang Shuolang laughed and said casually: "If Yang Daochang doesn't give up, why don't we go to Liantai Town together, and we won't be lonely along the way, hehe!" ”
The master paused, suddenly smiled and nodded, and said, "Very good." ”
Beiyang Shuo slowly stood up, and hugged his fists and said: "It's not too early, don't disturb Yang Daochang's rest, farewell, Huaxian, let's go." ”
The master also stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "No." ”
When Beiyang Shuo slowly walked out of the room with his apprentice Hua Xian, I felt even more lost, I thought that I had finally seen Hua Xian again, and I could have said a few words, plus Bei Yang Shuo took the initiative to make friends with the master, Hua Xian should not ignore me, I didn't think she couldn't speak, but her expression was still so cold to me, alas, I really don't know what she was thinking, I obviously wanted to help her, but I didn't know where to start, I was really dying.
At this moment, the master suddenly came to me, glanced at me, and said, "Why do you look like a cat scratched, with a bitter face!" As a warning to you, their masters and apprentices all exude a sinister aura, and if you have nothing to do, stay in the room, and it's best not to provoke them again, you know? ”
"Yin and evil qi?!" My eyes widened in a daze, but I immediately asked suspiciously, "Master, since you think that Beiyangshuo is not a good person, why did you agree to go with him to Liantai Town at the foot of Nanhua Mountain?" ”
The master frowned, and said: "It's not that the master wants to go with them, but I think this Beiyangshuo is a little strange, he has always liked to go alone in his life, and never disdains to go together, but this time he actually took the initiative to invite us to go on the same road, which seems to hide something indescribable, since they are also going to Liantai Town, it doesn't hurt to go on the same road, but during this period before the sky clears off, you can't go to him again, if you suffer again, I'm afraid that the teacher can't save you!" ”
Looking at Master's serious expression, I knew that Master didn't bluff me, but Master had never been so jealous of anything, but this time his expression made me a little incomprehensible, and I couldn't help complaining: "Since Master has any jealousy of that Beiyangshuo, let's just go with them!" ”
The master sighed lightly: "It's not for the sake of the teacher, but for these two people...... As a teacher, I can't tell what it's like, I always feel like I can't see through them......"
As he spoke, Master looked deeply at the rainy night outside the window, and after a long time, he turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to meditate.
I was stunned, there are still people in this world who the master can't see through, this Beiyangshuo, he came coldly, and it made me not sleepy at all, I thought left and right, and I still couldn't get a picture in my mind, in the picture, a slender shadow, carrying a big wooden barrel, staggering step by step down the stairs, a beautiful picture, a pitiful picture.
Lying on the table, I tilted my head to think about the picture of me stupidly stepping forward to grab the barrel, only to be snatched back by the flower fairy, and I couldn't help but smile when I thought of this.
Master's voice sounded inexplicably at this moment: "In the middle of the night, didn't you already shout that you were sleepy and wanted to sleep?" What's wrong? Beaten up, but still mental? What is it that is sitting there alone and laughing silly? ”
"Uh, it's nothing......" I hurriedly stood up, reached out to cover my mouth and yawned, but immediately there was a tingling sensation from my shoulder, I grinned and said, "Master, I am very sleepy, but my shoulder hurts so much that I can't sleep at all, you go to sleep first, I won't bother you." ”
"Where are you going in the middle of the night?!" Master suddenly scolded coldly.
"This ......" I hesitated for a moment, and immediately thought of Hou San, the guy at the counter, and said, "Master, didn't you ask me to help you keep an eye on Hou San?" I can't sleep now anyway, so I'll talk to Hou San for a while. ”
After a long time, Master said angrily, "Since you can't sleep, then you don't have to sleep for the past few days, you can go wherever you want." ”
"Huh? Won't let me sleep for a few days? I, I, I ......" Looking at the master's expression, I couldn't say any more, hurriedly turned around and walked out of the room, and closed the door, I couldn't help it, I glanced from the fence to the second floor, but the flower fairy and her master's room could not be seen, at this moment presumably the flower fairy was washing clothes again, alas, it was really too hard, this Beiyangshuo is really, since she saved the life of the flower fairy, she is so hard, she should be treated well, not to mention as a daughter, even if she is an apprentice, she is not so calling, it is really unreasonable!
I just wanted to go downstairs to the counter to talk to Hou San for a while, but before I could go downstairs, I heard the barking of a big black dog suddenly from the backyard, which seemed to be louder than the previous ones. But at this time, it is the second half of the night, and I am afraid that it will be dawn in two hours, how can there be people to stay? I glanced at the counter and found that Hou San was still sleeping, so I couldn't help but run downstairs with a sigh.
"Hou San! Hou San! I came to the counter, casually shouted a few Hou San, and looked around, there was no one around, of course, except for Hou San lying on the counter, seeing that Hou San couldn't wake up, I walked slowly to the door of the inn, and walked outside, but there was no one, what kind of big black dog in the backyard was barking?
However, Hou San is probably really asleep this time, he didn't bother to wake up when the big black dog barked so badly, he was really a good candidate for the night.
And at this moment, I couldn't help frowning, just because the big black dog in the backyard was still barking, and it seemed that he was not ready to stop, and after a few rough insults came from the first floor, there was no sound, it is estimated that a few tenants living on the first floor couldn't stand the barking of the big black dog and scolded a few words, but because they were too sleepy, they quickly fell asleep again. It's strange to say that dogs are very spiritual creatures, but they are the first to know what to do, and they don't bark if they don't have a reason.
After thinking about it, I looked at Hou San, who was sleeping like a dead pig, shook his head and said, "I'll help you go to the backyard to have a look." ”
