Chapter 13 Danger is always far away
The heaven of this Zhuang country is like a woman's face, which changes when it is said.
A few days ago it was still sunny, and it began to snow in a blink of an eye, in winter, it did not have the fragrance of birds and flowers in spring, there were no green trees and green mountains in summer, and there were no fruits in autumn, but in winter, it had snowflakes falling gently from the endless sky, and they were fluttering, fluttering and sprinkling, one by one, one by one, white like silver, clean as jade, all this is so fascinating!
Fortunately, it stopped as soon as it fell white, and today the snow is almost gone, Su Mu feels that this is the right time and place, when he fell into the lake, he was surrounded by a group of koi in a trance, and he was blessed by the koi god.
If everything goes well today, Su Mu will believe it.
Lian Ziyu was waiting for her outside the door, he was wearing a dark green robe, his hair was tied up with a hosta, and his body had a scent of wood different from that of the blue musk deer. The evening clouds on the horizon gradually closed, and the sky was glazed. Su Mu ran out briskly, the weather was cold today, but Su Mu was only wearing a thin coat, his face was like a peach apricot, his posture was leisurely and elegant, he was still lonely and thin, and his pupils were smart, and he was as attractive as crystal beads, but a cold wind blew through, which instantly made Su Mu break his work.
"It's cold, my mom." Su Mu shook, hurriedly rushed into the carriage, urging him to set off quickly, and today he was accompanied by Heng, Su Mu felt extremely relieved.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Lian Ziyu took off her cloak and put it on her, "It's such a cold day, why don't you wear more." ”
Su Mu smiled slyly, wrapped his clothes around his body, and put a charcoal basin in the carriage, which was quite warm, "In order to look thin." ”
Su Mu was a little nervous along the way, and didn't talk much, just closed his eyes and thought about the problem, Lian Ziyu played with her fingers, and in less than a stick of incense, she arrived at Zhang's house, the carriage was constantly in Zhang's house, and there was a bit of traffic jam, and he sat in the carriage for a while before getting off and entering Zhang's house.
Su Mu never thought that this Zhang family was even more exaggerated than Lian's family, surrounded by pink walls outside the courtyard, three hanging flower gatehouses, and verandahs on all sides. In the courtyard, the Yong road is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the plaque of "Yi Red Fast Green" is hung on the five hugging buildings. The whole courtyard is magnificent, the flowers are splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, pine trees, and a pool.
Along the road creek meandering, into the garden, that tall camphor is like a green umbrella to open up, they open the branches next to the ground, the branches are countless, the leaves on the branches are crowded next to each other, a cluster is piled on a cluster, pick a piece in the palm of the hand and rub it, the strong leaf fragrance is refreshing.
The creek joins the lake near the front of the courtyard, and a white stone bridge spans the lake, dividing the lake in two, and the temperature has plummeted in recent days, and the lake has formed a thick layer of ice.
Grandma Su has entered the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously, and feeling a sigh in her heart, the family of an official is richer than the family of a businessman, what does this mean? As soon as Lian Ziyu entered the compound, someone immediately greeted him and beckoned him to take a seat, as soon as Miss Zhang and Xiao Susu saw Su Mu coming with Lian Ziyu, the two bowed their heads and said something, Su Mu didn't care much, and sat down behind Lian Ziyu.
The banquet was lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone is bored, and they are just perfunctory greetings with each other, and singing and dancing are not fake, but they are all things that are not uncommon, which makes people only annoying.
Su Mu still felt very novel, after all, this was the first time to participate in this kind of banquet, and it was very good to bring Lian Heng today, and he took this opportunity to be introduced to see a lot of dignitaries, which was very beneficial to the expansion of business, plus he was also personable, and he was deeply valued by Lian Ziyu, and someone asked him if he was married, which was also a double eagle with one stone.
The banquet was carried out in an orderly manner, Su Mu drank some wine, and caught a glimpse of the sudden crowd in the courtyard, and some people were carrying stilts, Su Mu was in a good mood, and the amount of alcohol had been practiced well recently, and the whole body was hot after drinking, and he felt really good drunk, Lian Ziyu glanced back at her, and saw that she was not happy drinking a little wine, and she was happy with her.
Zhang's family advocated that Yan Yiyi saw that the outside was ready, so he clapped his hands and attracted the attention of the guests to him, "The greeting is not good, please don't be polite." Zhang Yan raised his glass and saluted everyone, "Please move to the front yard, the house has prepared a unique juggler, and please go and see, the little girl Yinger will take the female guests to the bridge for a gathering first, let's wait for a while." ”
Zhang Yanyi deliberately left suspense, today's banquet was originally to greet these dignitaries and dignitaries, contact feelings, and some of the previous programs also made everyone unable to see any tricks, for today's surprise, Zhang Yanyi spent a lot of money and painstaking efforts, and it must be to amaze the four.
The female guests slowly walked to the bridge with Zhang Yinger, the night has come, but Zhang's house is indeed brightly lit, both sides of the lake are lit with lanterns of different shapes, very flattering, the bridge on the lake is also lit with a whole row of lanterns, it looks like a crescent moon in the sky from a distance, the ice surface is already bright, and the lights shine at home, which is extremely beautiful.
Silk and bamboo, the male guests also walked out of the hall, gathered at the lake, the lake has already arranged seats, from the lake to the lake, the female guests stand on the bridge, the bridge and the ice are only half a person high, the lanterns reflect the faint light on the ice, the female guests and the white and transparent ice echo each other, more beautiful.
At this moment, Zhang Yinger divided the female guests into two sides, leaving a two-meter empty space in the middle, and at this moment, someone on the lake was wearing special skates and slid gently on the lake.
Everyone exclaimed, they were like low-flying swallows, light and fast, lined up in different shapes, with enchanting dancers, with the dance, more vivid and interesting.
Someone on the ice rushed violently, stepped on the pedals on the ice, turned over the bridge, and jumped past the female guests, so wonderful that everyone didn't want to blink.
I thought this was the biggest highlight of tonight, who would have thought that not far away, there were people stepping on stilts, walking slowly, the ice frolickers around them, quickly crossing over from them, the whole lake was very lively, there was a jumper, as light as a swallow jumper. There are enchanting dancers, strange people walking easily on stilts, and gliders shuttling under the feet of stilts.
This scene made all the guests dizzy, Zhang Yan was very satisfied with the dignitaries and dignitaries one by one, and he really admired Xiao Susu in his heart, he could get along with such an idea, and he could be regarded as a genius.
Lian Ziyu looked back and saw that Su Mu was still drinking, so he snatched his wine away, "Drink less." ”
"It's cold."
"Let you wear a little more."
"You can't wear it, you can't wear it." Su Mu shook his hand as he spoke, Lian Ziyu saw that no one around him was paying attention to him, so he grabbed Su Mu's hand, Su Mu was very well-behaved today and did not break free from him.
Lian Ziyu is in a very good mood, and he must be in a good mood to see Su Mu like this, "Are you happy to see the juggling you want to see?" ”
"Happy, not bad."
On the other end, the ladies on the bridge were also shocked by this wonderful juggling, and kept praising Xiao Susu and Zhang Yinger for their intelligence.
This Xiao Susu smiled shyly, and said politely to everyone: "Actually, this is also a stealing teacher." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"I also accidentally heard that there is a little guy in the family, very smart, half a month ago, I happened to meet this little guy, I heard her talk about it, I didn't expect to be so wonderful."
"It's strange, I really want to meet this little guy."
"Yes, yes, Su Suying'er, don't hide your secrets, let us see and understand."
"Hahaha, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'm going to call someone to invite him." Zhang Yinger asked the girl next to her to invite Su Mu.
For such an invitation, Su Mu couldn't refuse, he was in someone else's house, he ate someone else's and took someone else's, so he naturally wanted to give three points of thin noodles, so he followed the girl to the bridge, and said a few words to Lian Heng before leaving, and handed him a glass of wine.
When he walked to the bridge, he heard the laughter of women, Su Mu has always believed that where there are women, there must be right and wrong, which is an iron law and a woman's self-perception.
As soon as Zhang Ying'er saw Su Mu coming, she led him to the middle of the crowd, "This is the wonderful person I just talked about, Su Mu." ”
"Sumu?" As soon as I heard the name, someone in the crowd whispered and discussed it sparsely.
As soon as Su Mu saw this situation, he knew that the situation was not good, and it seemed that she had already become a part of the gossip land and had a good reputation.
Xu is no one is talking, which makes the atmosphere very awkward, Xiao Susu in order to alleviate the embarrassment, so he said to himself: "Lian family has a smart and wonderful person like you, Ziyu is really a blessing?" ”
How strange does this sound, what does it mean, the rumors of Lian Ziyu and Su Mu's broken sleeves have already spread all over the sky, and listening to her say this at this time, it is ambiguous, more like knowing that the inside story has done a scandal.
"I'm just doing my part, and I don't go beyond it." Su Mu turned to face Xiao Susu to answer, and she didn't have a brain, she just said it, but her turn around caused some chain reactions.
This Zhang Ying'er suddenly stumbled and almost fell off the bridge, but fortunately, Su Mu reacted quickly and immediately grabbed her, Zhang Ying'er finally stabilized her body, but the golden hairpin on her head accidentally fell on the ice.
Xiao Susu saw this situation, leaned down on the steps, and said to Zhang Ying'er: "Ying'er, how can you be so careless, this is your mother's relic, how can this be good." ”
As soon as Zhang Ying'er heard this, she burst into tears in an instant, and kept muttering in her mouth, what should I do?
There was a stir behind him, and I don't know who said: "Su Mu, why are you so rude, you pushed Miss Zhang and didn't say anything, and caused her to lose her deceased mother's relics." ”
Tut-tut, Su Mu sighed a hundred times in his heart, are women so good at making things out of nothing? She turned around, and she didn't get to this Miss Zhang's family, why did she push her, could it be that Su Mu had internal force in his waist, and the wind blew on her.
The women behind him didn't care what happened, they directly began to condemn Su Mu, these people had opinions about Su Mu, and they despised her various behaviors, seduced the lord, and broke their sleeves, and just wanted to take this opportunity to rectify her.
"You go down quickly, and go find the golden hairpin for Miss Zhang."
"yes, yes, you dog slave who doesn't know the rules."
Su Mu had no choice but to jump off the bridge, fortunately, the bridge was only half a person high, not too high for Su Mu, the people on stilts walked towards her step by step, she was dedicated to helping Zhang Yinger find the golden hairpin, but she didn't notice that there was someone behind her, and suddenly found that the golden hairpin was under the bridge, so she immediately picked it up and handed it to Zhang Yinger.
At this moment, the person on stilts was unstable, and he fell on his back to Su Mu, and everyone exclaimed.
As soon as Su Mu turned her head, she saw a black figure pressing towards her, she quickly dodged sideways, startled, the body of the stilt man did not hit Su Mu, but fell straight to the wall, and the blood did not stop in an instant, the head of the person was crooked, and he lost his breath in an instant and fell at Su Mu's feet.
This scene not only scared all the noble ladies unclearly, but even Su Mu, who had countless psychological constructions, was scared half to death, never expected that these people were so ruthless, Su Mu looked at Xiao Susu and Zhang Yinger viciously, they pretended to panic and ran away, only Su Mu stayed on the ice, Su Mu calmed down, crawled to the man's side and probed his snort, to make sure that he was dead, Su Mu put down his hand weakly.
When the people by the lake saw this scene, they were also taken aback, but they never expected that at this time, smoke suddenly billowed outside, and someone was shouting: Go to the water, go to the water.
These dignitaries naturally spared their lives, as soon as they heard that the water was gone, they immediately began to flee, Su Mu stood on the ice, feeling very weak, she never thought that someone would die in front of her eyes like this, she heard the sound of clicking on the ice, Lian Ziyu and Lian Heng were running towards her in the distance, but there were many people, and they could be regarded as difficult to walk.
The clicking sound on the ice became louder and louder, Su Mu looked at Lian Ziyu and they were getting closer and closer to her, so he wanted to jump onto the bridge, but this bridge, it was easy to jump down, but it was difficult to climb up, Su Mu looked down at the ice, the crack was obvious, he gritted his teeth and wanted to run towards the lake, wanted to get closer to Lian Ziyu and them, not far from Lian Ziyu, the ice became thinner and thinner, the ice suddenly cracked, Su Mu stepped on the air and fell into the water.
It was very noisy outside, and the water under the ice was cold and biting, and Su Mu was suddenly startled and shouted for help.
Lian Ziyu in the distance found that Su Mu had fallen into the water, and quickened his pace, he didn't expect that Su Mu had just escaped the first catastrophe, and then ushered in the second catastrophe, he was flustered, he didn't know the water, but he was also anxious to go to the nurse, and Lian Heng next to him hurriedly stopped him, "Childe, I can't save two people." As he spoke, he walked quickly towards the lake.
Lian Heng tried his best to swim towards Su Mu as fast as possible, but there was always some broken ice around him to stop him, but fortunately, Su Mu was light, and he calmed down and didn't struggle too much, and Lian Heng smoothly pulled Su Mu's body.
As soon as he landed ashore, Lian Ziyu took Su Mu and took her into his arms, Su Mu was still conscious at this time, and said softly: "Implement the plan and take me away." ”
As soon as Lian Heng heard this, he hurriedly ran out and arranged a carriage to meet them, the cold wind blew cold, but Lian Heng could still bear it, he had just drunk a lot of wine, and he could withstand some cold.
At this time, the people of the Zhang family were almost scattered, the father and daughter of the Zhang family stood at the door to see off the guests, and found out the source of the smoke, but there were people outside the wall who burned the bellflowers, and the women of the Zhang family were sweating in a hurry, and the banquet was ruined, and most of the nobles were frightened and very angry.
Lian Ziyu hugged Su Mu, and when he passed by the Zhang family's father and daughter, he said viciously: "If Su Mu has any mistakes, I will not let you have a good time." ”
