Chapter 43: Breathless
As soon as Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, Sun Deren immediately interjected attentively: "Master Hou came in a hurry this time, and it is common sense that he is not prepared, and you don't need to mention this stubble." ”
Liu Yanshu was unharmed when he got up, and walked to the pond in the garden as if no one was around. In the moonlight of the tulle smoke cage, a shallow pool of water shimmered, and I saw him roll up his sleeves and stick out a lean arm, and without hesitation, he reached into the pool.
"Whoa-" With a sound, Liu Yanshu picked up a small turtle crawling on four legs from the pool, dripping the water in a daze, and kept shrinking his neck into the turtle shell.
The corners of Zhou Xuanqing's eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath: What is sold in this Hou Ye's gourd must not be a good medicine.
Sure enough, seeing him turn around and walk forward step by step, he said unhurriedly in front of all the guests, "Wang Ba wards off evil spirits, and has many blessings and longevity." I wish Wu Lao often such things. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Sun Deren almost bit his tongue with a mouthful of teeth, and choked on his throat before he could swallow the saliva.
Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment, and they didn't know what expression to make in response. After all, they only knew that Liu Yanshu was a guest brought by Sun Zhixian, so they shouldn't be too harsh.
"Well said. Sun Deren, a sycophant, immediately opened his brain, and he was not ashamed of his flattery.
Don't say that Zhou Xuanqing, even Mo Huaigu and Lu Shiyi are silently despising him behind their backs.
At this time, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family finally helped Wu Lao out, and happened to hear this.
Wu Lao originally had a wrinkled face, his expression began to be subtle, he pulled the muscles at the corners of his mouth, and slowly smiled, "Haha, hahahahaha......"
Laughing like this, one bad one will turn his back on it. Zhou Xuanqing secretly thought to himself, should he go up and remind the old man.
There is a way that you can't talk nonsense, she just thinks so in her heart, who expected that she was really right.
Seeing Wu Lao smiling and smiling, he suddenly gasped out of breath fiercely, the more he gasped, the more ugly his face became, and his face became more and more gray. Wu Xue on the side saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly patted his chest for him.
The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family and Wu Yuzhu, who were originally sitting at the main table, got up and ran over in a panic, and their faces turned pale with fright.
"Grandpa!" "Daddy, you're still holding the pestle, hurry up and call the doctor!"
The crowd was in a commotion, some people retreated, others moved forward. There was an atmosphere of uneasiness mixed with the noise and shouting. The subordinates of the Wu Mansion spread their legs and stumbled out, but as soon as they stepped out of the gate, they collided with the comer.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" the man who came stabilized his body and straightened his clothes.
"Oh, Second Master, you're finally back!" The next person's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that he had a backbone.
This person is the second child of the Wu family, and there is a stranger in dark clothes standing beside him, with a little stubble on his face, slightly calm and steady.
The subordinate didn't care to look carefully, and shouted with a crying voice, "Yes, it's the old man, the old man can't breathe!"
"What, you hurry up and call the doctor!" Wu Lao Er raised his foot and rushed into the garden, forgetting the guests he had brought in a blink of an eye. ran away before turning around and shouting at people, "Brother You, I'll go to see my father first, you just come along!"
The man who was called to swim nodded his head. It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no one else that he raised his eyes to look around.
Under the moonlight, a pair of cold eyes were shining, and the seemingly ordinary face was also covered with a faint laziness. There is a hollow gold eagle pinned to his waist, and the jade beads in it are mixed with an unusual ghostly light.
"Meow!" The spotted cat, which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly jumped down from the wall, still holding a dried yellow croaker in its mouth. Looks a little
Stupid, but he has already raised a ring of hair on his back, revealing snow-white thin teeth, and the long cat whiskers tremble with wheezing.
Spit out the dried yellow croaker in his mouth, and the spotted cat stared viciously, "Demon King!
"You are such a dangerous thing, but you have to pretend to be the most deceitful in front of them, who taught you?" Yan Qingjun looked at the spotted cat with the face of Cai Youzhi, who was the same acquaintance of the mansion, and seemed to be calm and cold.
"Demon Devouring Beast, what benefits did Fox Four give you?"
The spotted cat snorted lightly in his throat, and slowly licked his paws and said, "It's no good, Mr. Kong is my master, and Hu Siniang is his wife, so I naturally want to protect the master." There's no need to talk nonsense, hand over Nedan, I don't want to provoke other people to watch with you. ”
It shows the arrogance of you being strong and self-reliant, and I follow my waves. This is like a house cat, which is three points better than a goblin who has become a spirit.
The sky was already dark, Yan Qingjun's long figure blocked some of the moonlight, and the black shadow shrouded the spotted cat, invisibly exerting coercion.
The wind swept the branches and leaves, and two invisible demonic powers came out from the heavenly spirit cover, and the 'zizi' swelled, touching and testing in the air.
Suddenly, a cry came from the garden.
Yan Qingjun seemed to think of something, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the garden with deep eyes, and his eyes were obscure. "I don't mess with you, it looks like a dead person inside. ”
When the spotted cat heard this, its paws pinched the cat's whiskers, straightened its abdomen, and the demonic power suddenly disappeared, and its blue eyes also disappeared.
Wu Lao really didn't slow down in one breath, and he was lying upright in the middle of the garden at the moment. The family wailed and was sad, and the guests who came to celebrate the birthday were also dizzy.
- How did the happy event turn white so quickly?
Zhou Xuanqing had a toothache, and said in his heart that his idea would not really be so coincidental, right? However, with her here, he could do a ritual by the way to send Wu Lao a ride.
"Uh, mourning. Sun Deren looked a little at a loss. Don't talk about him, most people will never encounter such a coincidental thing once in their lives.
Not long after Wu Lao Er ran into the garden, he wanted to pick up his father to find the doctor, but he didn't know that it was just such a short time, Wu Lao couldn't help but close his eyes.
He is a filial son, the eldest brother followed his father from birth to death, and has turned a handful of loess, except for the eldest sister-in-law Xue in the family, he is the most diligent in taking care of him.
"Father, father, open your eyes and look at your son, eldest brother is gone, why don't you go, I won't have any relatives in the future...... "My nose was sore, my eyes were instantly red, and my tears couldn't stop falling.
I don't know if it's an illusion, although the eldest daughter-in-law Wu Xue was also sad and teary-eyed, but she quickly calmed down. She wiped away her tears and calmly instructed her subordinates to carry Wu Lao into the house.
"Sister-in-law, I have already prepared a sandalwood coffin, why don't you let your father carry the coffin directly. The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family also raised her sleeves to wipe her eyes, and said, "His clothes are also new today...... Isn't there still a female crown here, Daddy must have calculated the time to leave. ”
"Brother and sister. Dad fell last time, didn't he turn his back and roll his eyes, but the next day he got back his breath again. It's better to send my dad back to the room first, and maybe after a while, I can catch my breath again. Although Wu Xue's words sounded like self-deception, his eyes were faintly determined.
Zhou Xuanqing, who attracted a wait-and-see look, couldn't help but wonder at her: Does this mean, can you still come back to life?
