Chapter 30: Digging around in the dirt for wine
"If you want to get better soon, you need to eat and sleep more, you know?" Luo Lian gently pinched her red face, opened the food box, took out all the food inside, and put it on the table, "Come, eat quickly." ”
Hongyan obediently walked over, picked up the lotus seed porridge, sandwiched a piece of fish, took small bites, and ate it slowly.
"Alas," Luo Lian sighed as she watched Hongyan eat, "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the short and chubby, like a little bun has grown so big." ”
"Although the longer it is, the better it looks," Luo Lian continued, pinning the scattered broken hair behind her ears for Hongyan, "but it is no longer as soft and petite as it was when she was a child." ”
Hongyan listened, except for raising her eyebrows, she didn't know what to do.
This time, she went down the mountain and came back from an injury, Luo Lian, who had always favored her apprentices, would not let go of the second elder easily.
The night passed and the morning of the second day was ushered in.
The sun had not yet come out, and the fog was heavy.
And this Nine Heavens Gate was originally built in the towering Xuyan Mountain, at this time the outside is surrounded by clouds and mist, and people walk in it, as if they are in a fairyland.
It is worthy of being called the Nine Heavens Gate in the fairyland.
In the main hall, the five elders of the Nine Heavens Gate and the head of the sect were sitting upright, not knowing what they were talking about.
Suddenly, the voice of the fifth elder Luo Lian came out from inside, and the voice was very loud:
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I just don't listen."
Hongyan was sitting on the grass more than fifty meters away from the hall, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and was feeding the two white pigeons that were jumping on the ground.
The two white doves were about the same size, and one had a small round ball of gold hanging from its neck; A small silver ball hangs from one neck.
Ben was fed happily, and the surroundings were so quiet, Elder Luolian's suddenly raised his voice, and his hands shook in shock, and the steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground.
Beside him, Qi Hua, who was holding the lotus pod and peeling lotus seeds, smiled slightly, and stuffed all the peeled lotus seeds in his hand into Hongyan's hand.
Hongyan didn't even see it, so he took one directly and stuffed it into his mouth.
She doesn't like bitterness, Qi Hua knows this, so the lotus seeds she peeled have already removed the lotus heart.
I don't know what the elders are talking about, but when they came out, they saw the smug expression of the master Luo Lian, and Hongyan knew that their master was going to toss them again.
Sure enough, since that morning, such a picture has appeared in the Nine Heavens Gate.
Originally, several elders who should teach martial arts, drink tea and play chess, and even the head of the family, all held their swords and found a cool place to peel lotus seeds.
"Alas," the head of the sect sighed as he peeled the lotus seeds, "the fifth child is my youngest apprentice, no matter how willful and tossed people are, I have to endure and spoil them." ”
"Ugh."
The head of the house said a word, and the four elders all shook their heads and sighed.
"This little wind is also like our senior brothers and sisters, who dote on their little junior sisters."
Above his eyebrows, the Great Elder with a hideous scar held a lotus pod in his hand and pointed to Qi Feng who was peeling lotus seeds for Hongyan who was fishing in the distance.
"Ancestral heirlooms, can't be changed." The second elder peeled the lotus seeds, looking helpless.
Time flies like a white horse.
A year later, the leader of the martial arts alliance suddenly broke the news that he was suffering from a vicious illness and was about to die.
"Finally, it's going to change." Standing on the bridge, the head of the house looked up and looked at the sky.
Behind them, the faces of the five elders were solemn.
In the courtyard of the three elders, dressed in red, with long hair untied, and casually draped red faces kneeling on the ground, holding a small hoe in their hands, they were digging something under the peach blossom tree.
It has just gone to winter, and although it is early spring, it is still a little cold.
At this time, the peach blossom tree with a red face has just begun to draw new shoots, but it is also scattered, and the spring is not obvious.
"Strange, where's the wine?" After planing for a while, he never saw what he was looking for, and Hongyan was a little annoyed.
He threw away the hoe in his hand and sat on the ground, holding his knees and sulking.
"No, this girl is such a person who gives up so easily." Hongyan gritted her teeth, picked up the hoe, and continued digging in a different place.
After about half an hour, the three elders returned.
Looking at the dozens of soil pits dug out of his yard, and looking at the red face who was squatting on the ground, holding a small hoe and still digging, pursed his lips, he couldn't laugh if he wanted to, he couldn't bear to be angry.
Walked lightly behind Hongyan, with the back of his hand behind him, bent down and asked softly, "Little Baozi, what are you doing here?" Is it to grow vegetables for the third master? ”
"No," Hongyan glanced back at the Third Elder and continued to dig the soil, "I'm looking for a few jars of wine that I buried here." ”
"Wine?" The third elder touched his chin, "Is it the daughter of the third altar?" ”
"Yes, yes," Hongyan stood up with a happy expression, "Where have you seen the third master?" ”
"It's long gone," the third elder touched Hongyan's head with a smile, "You buried the wine too shallowly, and your master found out the clues, dug it out and drank it." ”
When Hongyan heard this, his mouth pouted, like a wronged little doll.
"Don't cry, don't cry," for fear that Hongyan would cry, the third elder leaned into Hongyan's ear and said softly, "Let me tell you quietly, isn't there a big locust tree at the door of your second uncle?" There is a pot of peach blossom wine buried underneath. ”
Hongyan listened, and happily carried a small hoe to go to the peach blossom wine of the second elder.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute," the third elder pulled Hongyan back and emphasized repeatedly, "Don't tell anyone that the third master told you, you know?" Don't say, remember ......"
"Third uncle, I know, I know."
"Alright, alright, then you go, remember, don't say it."
As soon as he let go, Hongyan couldn't wait to run away.
"Alas," the Third Elder shook his head, "just like her master, they all love wine so much." ”
As soon as he arrived at the big locust tree and was about to dig it, Qi Hua came out of the residence of the three elders by chance.
"Little bun, what are you doing? This tree didn't provoke you, did it? Qi Hua looked puzzled, "Do you need to dig people's roots?" ”
"No, hey, senior brother, come here," Hongyan beckoned to Qi Hua, "Watch me dig the baby." ”
Qi Hua walked over, squatted down beside Hongyan, and watched her dig the soil.
After a while, a jar of sealed wine was dug out by Hongyan.
"Little bun, you...... You're stealing wine. Qi Hua lowered his voice, "Master would be angry if he knew." ”
"What are you afraid of," Hongyan hugged the wine jar, not caring at all about the dirt on it, and soiling his clothes, "The second master loves me, so he won't be angry with me." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, okay, it's not so much, let's go find a place to drink."
At this time, in the Nine Heavens Gate Treasure Pavilion, Luo Lian and the second elder were looking at the weapons under the leadership of the master.
"If you choose a weapon or something, you should let Xiao Hua and Xiao Baozi come by themselves and choose it yourself," the head said to Luo Lian and the two who were looking at the weapons seriously, "They don't necessarily like what you pick." ”
"What do they know about good and bad?" The second elder rolled his eyes, "I don't understand anything." ”
"That's it," Luo Lian strongly agreed with the Second Elder's words, "The sword is like a kitchen knife in front of them, where do they know what is a sword and what is an ordinary sword." ”
