Chapter 19 · a)

There is no spring in the rouge cave, and the color can be boasted. In March, the orchid is obsessed, and the four are more blood-warmed and stupid. There is affection and incomprehension of truth and falsehood, and there is no intention to repay grievances and resentment. Big dreams are all hysteria, and it turns out that the fruit of evil takes root by itself - a wedge

20th year of Xingwu, March 19.

It's already ugly.

"It's dry, be careful of the candles—four watches—" The old man banged on the basket, and from time to time there was a tired yawn or two between the steps of the machine. The lights had long since been turned off in the courtyards on both sides, and the wind flowed down the alley, raising his sparse white beard from time to time.

The alley is quiet, and occasionally the strange cry of the nocturnal owl "vulture" sounds. Shunyi Fang has been rounded, and further down is Pingkang Street, this road he has walked for almost 20 years, and he can walk down with his eyes closed. The husband took a mechanical step forward, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the fireworks Chu Pavilion that lasted all night also flowed into his ears along the wind - after walking through Pingkang Street and turning back to Beiguan on an errand, this trip will be over.

At this moment, the old woman must have gotten up, boiling water and hot rice on the stove, waiting for him to come home.

When he was sixty years old in August, he would be able to retire from this errand, and he would no longer have to stay up all night, and his mother-in-law would no longer have to get up before dawn to work. Thinking so, it seemed that the old arms and legs had become lighter, and with the clearer and clearer sound of silk and bamboo, he slowly hummed a fashionable minor tune.

Until, his straw sandals stepped into a thick sheet of liquid.

Fishy, sweet, rust-like liquid.

The fishy sweetness was still flowing slowly between the cracks of the bluestone slab, and the husband felt that something was not right, so he couldn't help but stop and open his eyes. His gaze followed the ticking sound, and when he looked to the source, his body stiffened as if he had been immobilized by a spell, and his throat gurgled a few times, and he fell on his back with a thud.

Nine hours ago.

In Qinghao County in March, although the sky is long, the wind in the morning is still a little cool. In the quiet backyard of Sanqitang, there was a sudden knock on the door, startling a tile finch squatting on the eaves.

"Zhao Langzhong! Get up Zhao Langzhong! Brother! You've been asked to come to the doctor! ”

After knocking on the work of being able to have half a cup of tea, there was still no movement in the house, Feng Ayan couldn't wait, so she simply pulled the silver hairpin from between the buns, poked into the crack of the door with a light car, and opened the latch with three times and two clicks.

The room was warm, filled with the smell of pine needles being baked; On the kang was a large snow-white new reed mat, on which two or three layers of thick bedding were piled up, all of which were made of cotton wool that had been popped up a few years ago, and were extremely soft - and at this time, a large bag was bulging under the silk quilt, and the four corners were tightly covered.

Feng Ayan's ear power has always been good, so she can clearly hear that bursts of light and long breathing are sounding inside the big bag.

How obvious, the breakfast in the tea shop next door is going to continue the second stall, and Xiao Zhao Langzhong is still sleeping.

If you want to put it on the usual time, Feng Ayan has to pat the ball in the quilt softly and sweetly, coaxing people to get dressed, washed, and have breakfast; But this time the person was in a hurry, and the little guy who delivered the post was standing in the front hall waiting, she couldn't waste time here, so she had to put down the hot water basin in her hand first, and ruthlessly lifted the quilt, put her cold paws into it, and stuck it on the warm back of Zhao Langzhong's neck.

Excited by this coolness, Zhao Hanjing jumped up from the quilt with a lot of hanging.

"Awake? Someone in front of me has come to deliver the post, please go to the doctor, the carriage that will pick you up will be there in a while, get up and wash up. I didn't have time to eat breakfast, but fortunately I steamed bean paste buns today, and the filling was dry and without juice...... I'll wrap two in oiled paper, and you can take a sip on the car, and I'll make up for it when I come back. Feng Ayan directly lifted the entire quilt, turned around and went to the closet to look for more decent clothes.

A lazy bag was so cold that it was fried, and he pulled the quilt angrily: "Don't go."

Feng Langzhong pulled out a silk gown, felt a little thin, and folded it back: "Don't make trouble, people's handwriting, a trip to the clinic, can top our ten-day income - not to mention that I have received a fixed fee." ”

"I don't, I don't!" Zhao Hanjing covered himself into the quilt again, with a lazy little mute voice in his voice, humming and chirping, "It's not the fixed money I collected, you shout to the right Menge to be confused, I want to sleep back." ”

"It's not Ge Mi who is invited, but Zhao Hanjing, the gentleman of Sanqitang. If you want me to say, that's a really good place, and if you don't go, you'll lose it. Feng Ayan flipped over a bamboo-blue robe, felt that it was not bad, supported his still somewhat thin back, half-hugged and half-supported the person out of the quilt "invited" out, compared the clothes to him, and made sure that it was this one, so he smiled mysteriously, "Zhao Langzhong, Doctor Zhao, are you really not going?" ”

Zhao Hanjing felt that he was a little coaxed, so he forgave Fang Cai's surname Feng's specialty Bing his matter, and like a cat that had been smoothed, he stretched his waist to wash: "What a good place?" ”

Feng Ayan replied casually: "One is a good place that men like." ”

"What? Talking about the ...... "Zhao Langzhong dipped a horsehair brush in green salt, and when he was about to brush his teeth, he heard Feng Langzhong give him three words in a hearty manner.

"I don't know the spring."

His hands shook in shock, and he almost stabbed the brush head down his throat.

Pingkang Street's "I don't know spring", not to mention that it is in Qinghao County, even if it is the entire Jingjiang Mansion, it can be regarded as the leader of the courtyard, the leader of the fat powder - even compared to the Qinhuai River in Moling Mansion in the south, it is not much better, but it is a first-class place to go.

He was completely sure that Feng Ayan had changed.

It's not like I've never been in bed before! But she will coax him up very patiently, even if it is mixed with all kinds of coercion and temptation, it is very gentle, and will help him pinch his numb shoulders! Definitely won't wake him up with cold hands!

As a result, she not only treated him simply and rudely now, but also took a post for him that never knew the spring, and wanted to stuff him into the Qinglou? As soon as I heard it, I felt that Yuanyang was not guaranteed.

"You're generalizing." Zhao Hanjing gritted the bone handle of the toothbrush and complained angrily, trying to struggle again, "For example, I don't like that kind of place, what is there to go, it's better to read a book and eat bean buns at home." ”

He has come up with a new prescription in the past few days, and it is still in the blending stage, and after the official preparation, maybe Feng Yan will be able to come out twice less - this is the top priority!

"If my brother is awake when I receive the deposit, I can refuse it myself. In other words, late! Hoo! Feng Ayan was unmoved, found the scarf, shoes and socks that matched the robe, turned around and went out, "Hurry up and wash don't rub it!" I'll tell your apprentice to pack up the medicine box. ”

Zhao Hanjing pinched the toothbrush and stiffened in place: "......"

Sure enough, Ah Yan has changed.

She must have taken a fancy to the little showman who rented a house and studied on the left side of the alley.

After washing up in a hurry, Zhao Langzhong dressed as fast as he could, and ran to the kitchen to catch Feng Ayan, who was wrapping snacks with oiled paper: "You can go, you have to go with me." ”

Hearing this, Feng Langzhong put down the bean bag, turned around, and raised his hand to test the temperature of his forehead: "Me? I don't know the spring? Do you have a cold? ”

"Anyway, you have to follow me, I'll go." Zhao Langzhong emphasized his appeal again, and the other party groped at the corner of his forehead, and muttered with his hands behind his back, "You can pretend to be a man, it's not that you can't pretend to be." ”

"The problem is that I don't know what to do in spring, isn't it just to show people a disease, prostitutes are also people, not some kind of monster who drinks blood, are you so cowardly." Feng Langzhong patted the folds on his shoulders with his hand, and he still felt that something was wrong when he looked left and right, so he helped him straighten the crooked tape tied around his waist, which was pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Langzhong fiddled with her while counting the reasons why he needed to be accompanied: "Xiao Haishan is still young and can't stand it, taking him to Huajie Liuxiang is tantamount to teaching bad children." If you don't follow me, you'll have to go by yourself, can you really rest assured that I'm alone? Prostitutes don't eat people, but those benefactors will always eat people. I don't know how chaotic the spring is, how many dignitaries in Jingjiang Mansion don't dare to take care of, if I keep up with the last time I was in Qijiazhuang, who will detain me, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth is not spiritual, what can I do, right? ”

"Oh-" Feng Ayan glanced at him meaningfully, her eyes were full of banter, "You didn't mention the stubble in Qijiazhuang, I didn't even think about it, Cheng, I'll accompany you." ”

Since two and a half years ago, Feng Langzhong lived in Sanqitang as a junior sister, and the next year he passed the doctor's exam, and the business of the medical hall has improved. In addition to surgery and acupuncture, she is also good at gynecology and pediatrics, and works to figure out the minds of patients, and gradually becomes a close friend of the housewives in Sweet Water Square and Huanren Fang in the south of the city. And Zhao Langzhong did not live up to Feng Ayan's expectations, successfully gained 26 catties and 428 yuan, from a skinny and bony humanoid salted fish to a handsome and cold-looking "Kaolin Flower", and was also older and unmarried, fascinated half of the girls to be married in Artemisia County - this is another signboard of Sanqitang.

Feng Ayan has a sense of relief that "my family has children who have just grown up".

It's a pity that those beautiful girls definitely don't know that under the skin of Zhao Langzhong's "Kaolin Flower", he is a timid, small-skinned and thin-skinned petite baby. But then a new question followed: that is Zhao Langzhong's mouth, not only the little girls and old aunts like it, but also a lot of broken sleeves.

In the month of last year, the two went to Qijiazhuang for a visit, and Zhao Hanjing fell into the incense and was almost slept by the owner's brother-in-law. Feng Langzhong had no choice but to beat the bald man, took the evidence that he deducted the purchase in the village to fill his pockets, and threatened him not to tell the owner of the village about being beaten; and extorted a large amount of compensation for her "senior brother" who liked money, and this was the matter.

Zhao Hanjing became more and more sure that Ah Yan must have taken a fancy to that sour show, and she couldn't remember such a big thing! Sour Xiucai moved to Zehuafang after the New Year this year, she was born white and weak, and she smiled shyly at every turn, and she knew that she had a very good appetite for the surname Feng.

And after coming to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment a few times because of the water and soil, he ran here for three days: for a while, he had insomnia and dreams and wanted to prescribe a dose of tranquilizing soup, and for a while he had sore eyes and ringing ears, he wanted to redeem a gentian pill, and he didn't look for him Zhao Langzhong, even if Feng Langzhong was out of the clinic, he had to wait for her to come back and see-said that this guy didn't have two catties in his stomach, and the ghost believed it!

Having said that, Xiao Langzhong is not very willing to admit at this time that he is no longer satisfied with the relationship between "brother and sister"; I don't dare to think about what would happen if Ah Yan fell in love with other men and turned to pamper others. Xiao Zhao Langzhong held back the melancholy in his stomach, and simply blamed all the abnormalities on this flowery radish surnamed Feng, chewed the bean bag viciously, and waited for her to change her dress up in the yard.

But the time for a bag of cigarettes seems to be as long as a whole day.

Between Zehuafang and Pingkang Street, there is only Shunyi Fang and Miandun Lane. The carriage was fast and steady, all the way to the end of the street, and in Zhao Hanjing's opinion, it took less time than Feng Langzhong to change clothes. He took her outstretched hand, stepped awkwardly on the pestle and got out of the car, and when he looked at the main entrance in front of the garden, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's really a magnificent place.
