Chapter 124 Go into the water to catch the Water Dragon King
The fishing rod in the white-clothed young man's hand trembled, and then turned upwards slightly, obviously the hooked fish was frightened, and swam away: "Heyβmy fishβ"
"What?!" The boy in tiger clothes looked at the splash and screamed loudly, this big treasure has been so small since he was a child.
The young man in white looked up, handed the fishing rod to the boy, and said patiently: "For the sake of having a cousin, you guard the fish, take the fishing rod, and I'll take a look-maybe a fairy, a fairy has fallen from the sky, and cousin Li just caught one for you to be your daughter-in-law, do you say okay?" β
The boy in the tiger clothes was not happy, and said in frustration: "Daughter-in-law? Dabao already has a ......"
The young man in white smiled: "How can there be too many daughters-in-law, wait." β
"The table-the table, Dabao is alone, I'm afraid ......"
But the mischievous cousin didn't care, waved his hand in a dashing manner, and turned to walk in the direction where he fell into the water.
I followed him, he walked fast, fortunately I could follow as fast as I could, I was not far away from his right hand, and I saw that the expression of his whole face had changed, no longer the gentle and mischievous smile that he had just faced Dabao, but a cold face full of frost.
He walked for a long time, looked left and right, very cautious, that he was not looking for a fairy for Dabao at all.
He left the main stone path and walked into the dead branches and flowers, and after a short distance, it seemed to be another world, there were not many flowers and plants in this place, except for the trees were fake stones, which looked very cold and gloomy.
Under the cover of a big tree, a man dressed in gray stood. The man was tall, broad-shouldered and long-armed, standing with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the pond.
The young man in white slowed down his pace and said coldly to the man, "I'm teaching you to have a cousin fishing." The young man in white said coldly.
The man in gray turned around and saw that his face was very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was much taller than his peers, his skin was slightly dark, and he already looked like an adult man at first glance.
I followed the young man in white to him, I saw his face clearly, he looked very ordinary, even not good-looking, narrow eyes, eagle nose, only the mouth and face shape were born well, making up for the ugliness of other officials, so as not to tie his appearance with "ugly".
However, he was tall and strong, and there was a deep fold between his eyebrows when he frowned, and although he was young, he already had a majestic aura, but he could not be annoyed.
I turned my head to look at the young man in white, his skin was as white as jade, his phoenix eyes were flying, his nose was high and his lips were thin, and he was like a fine painting made by a stroke of genius.
"I said that you are not allowed to approach the third brother." The gray-clothed young man said coldly.
"But he just wants to see me. If I can turn down Yun Niang's invitation, then I can not go. The young man in white also changed his demeanor and replied coldly.
Yun Niang? I heard this name again, Dabao said that Yun Niang is Shangguan Yanli's mother, then this young man in white is Shangguan Li, and Yun Niang is his mother.
The young man in gray suddenly stepped forward and walked towards us quickly, startling me!
He stretched out his hand and pushed the young man in white hard, but the young man in white didn't have time to react, took a few steps back, and slammed into the tree, causing the branches to fall leaves.
"I also said that you are not allowed to have any chance to meet and talk to Yun Niang!" The gray-clothed young man threatened.
The young man in white coughed a few times, leaned against the tree and smiled indifferently: "Unless you ask her not to come to me." If she comes to me and I avoid it again and again, do you think she will be suspicious? β
The gray-clothed young man knew that he couldn't stop Yun Niang from seeing him, so he was so angry and helpless, he smashed his fist on the tree, the big tree moved, and the fallen leaves were one after another, and it was obvious that the power was endless: "You can hide, you can ignore it!" Yun Niang's pre-emptive action, I warn you, you give me caution, I won't let you have a chance to get close to hurt the third brother! β
Third brother? Shangguan Yan?
The young man in white couldn't help laughing: "His health is getting worse and worse, and he even has the intention of self-destruction, and he doesn't want to see anyone except me." If I wanted to hurt him, I didn't have to go to him, wouldn't it be better for him to self-destruct and die? β
"You just want to pretend to be a filial son in front of Yun Niang, but in fact, what are your intentions, how can I not know?" The gray-clothed young man grabbed the white-clothed young man's collar, "You are the same as your disgraceful mother, you are a femme fatale, a wolf-hearted dog-hearted thing!" β
The young man in white didn't react much, just smiled and said, "What do I mean?" Why didn't you tell me directly? Didn't you also pretend to be a filial son in front of Yun Niang? Who doesn't know that Shangguan's eldest son is stable and cares for his brother, but in fact, how do you treat your brother with courtesy? And there is ambiguity in your sentence just now, since my heart is like a snake and scorpion, how can I be like a wolf, a dog, and an animal? β
Shangguan's eldest son? Is it the big cousin that Dabao said?
It seems that the relationship between the two brothers is not very good, and listening to the gray-clothed young man, it seems that their mother is not the same.
"Don't be weird with me! And these things of yours, it's best not to let me see them in a place other than your courtyard, otherwise they will all end up at the bottom of the sinking pool! The young man in gray shook off the young man in white.
The young man in white carefully straightened his messy clothes, and suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at the pool and said, "Have you been to the third brother's room?" β
"If I don't go, I don't know that you have the cheekiness to pretend to be kind to see him?" The gray-clothed boy snorted.
"What about meβyou just threw it in the poolβ" exclaimed, the young man in white, looking at the pool.
"That's right, it's the weird thing you put there!" The gray-clothed young man said proudly.
"You're sick!" The young man in white scolded angrily, and before he could quarrel with the other party, he didn't care to take off his shirt and jumped into the pool.
"Hmph, it's fake!" The gray-clothed young man snorted, turned and left.
The young man in white swam in the icy river for a while, and anxiously kept holding his breath and sinking to the surface of the water to look for it.
"Huh? β¦β¦ Cousin Ni, what are you doing in the pool? The boy in tiger clothes on the other side of the shore stared at the white-clothed boy who jumped into the water, his eyes widened, and he screamed in a milky voice.
The young man in white turned his face and smiled happily again, such a rapid and natural change of expression seemed to be a part of his life, but no one could clearly see the countless sadness and anxiety wrapped in his eyes: "The fairy daughter has been taken away by the Dragon King as a daughter-in-law, I will go and arrest the Dragon King for you to make amends for your cousin!" β
"Ah...... Oh, no...... Dabao ...... Dabao already has a daughter-in-law...... "The boy in tiger clothes said anxiously, "Good God, cousin Ni will come back soon!" β
But the young man in white was gone, and he thought he had gone under the water again.
The boy in the tiger clothes waited for a few days and didn't see him come up, and shouted for a pillar of incense, before he suddenly turned around and ran away in fear with a fishing rod and a fish, crying and shouting: "It's not good, it's okay, Cousin Ni was captured by the dragon king......
I was also in a hurry, and floated around the pool, even screaming, even though he couldn't hear me.
After a while, the water bubbled, and the white figure broke through the water tiredly, and he swam slowly to the edge of the pool, his face was pale and his cheeks were unusually flushed, and I wished I could help him, and reached out to give him a hand.
In such a large garden, there is not a single person who comes and goes.
He gasped and went ashore, and fell stiffly on the frosty grass, clutching a black wooden carving in his hand, it must have been very cold, and he began to snort, took off his two coats, kept rubbing his unconscious legs, and then staggered to his feet, and stumbled somewhere.
Didn't anyone come to his aid?
The young man in white walked alone for a long time, and finally a figure appeared in the distance, and two women dressed as subordinates hurriedly walked from the opposite side with baskets, and the young man in white gently went around to the side to avoid them.
The two women walked in a hurry, and they didn't notice the young man in white, and walked over a few feet, and one of the long-faced women suddenly turned around and shouted, "Second son." β
The young man in white waved his hand, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Go busy, I'm bored and swimming." β
The long-faced woman frowned and said, "It's really nonsense, what kind of swim is it on a cold day?" Hurry back and take off the wet clothes, I told the kitchen to boil more hot water for the girls to send over, the carbon fire in the room is stronger, and it will be troublesome if the wind is cold. β
It seems to be reproachful, but it is full of worries in his heart.
The young man in white smiled, "I shouldn't let you see it." Got it, got it. β
The two women walked forward for a while, and the long-faced woman quickly turned back and said, "I'll stare at you when I'm done with the business at hand, and I don't take my body seriously." β
Another called: "Fleur, hurry up, so Rosso!" β
The young man in white entered a house, which was not luxurious, and belonged to the elegant type of bamboo house. He gently put the wood carving in his arms at the head of the bed, lit a small candle on the side, covered the wood carving on the candle, and suddenly the dim room wall was full of cloud-like projections of various sizes.
The young man in white sucked his frozen red nose, and his whole body trembled from the moisture that was about to be dried, but he didn't seem to feel it at all, and looked at the clouds on the wall with a bitter smile.
This is the truth that Dabao has been afraid of for a long time, "Cousin Ni was captured by the Water Dragon King", this farce that seems ridiculous, only he knows the bitter truth.
This strong and smiling face, as well as the eyes that were instantly lonely when he turned around, made people feel very distressed to watch.
This dream gave me a little understanding of Shangguan Yan's family, he was from an extraordinary background, just looking at the endless manor, but he came to this remote town of ours to be a bitter county official who didn't even have a mother.
The second is that Shangguan Yan has two older brothers in the family, the eldest brother was not born to the same mother, but he was very protective of him, but the kind and easy-going Shangguan Li was very excluded. But this point may not be known to Shangguan Yan himself.
The third is their mother, the one named Yun Niang, who seems to be a little weird, it sounds like she is very good to everyone, but she always cries at the ignorant Dabao, is she not doing well?
After lying down and depressed for a while, I suddenly heard very light footsteps in the courtyard, very slow, very slow, as if pacing-
I'm cold, who's in the yard?!
I sat up immediately, and the footsteps in the yard were faint, very slow, very slow, and I didn't know what I was doing, and the footsteps were so slow, and the direction was very chaotic, and there was no fixed direction - as if - as if this person was just idle and had nothing to do, walking around the yard, but in the middle of the night, it was a cold day, what was this person walking in the yard?
