Chapter 249: The mask is like a life
"This mask is strange enough, I don't know what it's made of." Zhu Gongzi hurriedly came over, snatched it from my hand unceremoniously, and said strangely: "A beauty...... Could it be that he turned into a beautiful woman and a demon and hooked away the soul of Liu Da? Hahaha......"
Mrs. Hongyan quietly took the mask from Zhu Gongzi's hand, handed it to me again, and said, "Dare to ask the Dragon God Messenger, is there anything strange about this mask?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Is this...... Mei Cai can't see it, but after looking at these masks, she hasn't seen any monsters that come out to make trouble. ”
Mrs. Hongyan hurriedly said: "Xianggong said, that strange voice came out at night, if it is possible, the believer took the liberty to ask the envoy of the dragon god to stay here for a night, and the believer will also come to accompany her, to see what is going on with the strange words in Xianggong's mouth." It's good to find out the source of the voice, and it's really hard to cause trouble to Miss Mei, but I beg Miss Mei to understand the worries of the letter girl. ”
I hurriedly said, "Mrs. Hongyan doesn't have to be polite, Mei Cai will stay here for the night and listen to the voice."
Zhu Gongzi hurriedly said: "If there is such a thing, this son will also give up his life to accompany the gentleman." Hahaha......"
Liu Ergongzi hurriedly said: "If you can find your brother in this way, that Xiaosheng will definitely come here to accompany everyone, there are many people, and there is the protection of the dragon god, and I am not afraid of it." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the mask and muttered, "I don't know where my brother bought this mask from......"
The Liu family seems to be a big family with Zhong Ming Ding food, and when they eat, they are all together, but it is also lively, I ate with Mrs. Hongyan in the side hall, through the bead curtain, I saw the people outside boiling, but after eating a meal, the servants came and went, and it was also a huge momentum.
Originally, everyone was quietly eating what was in front of them, probably following the rule of "eating without saying a word, sleeping without speaking", and there was silence, and even the sound of drinking soup could not be heard.
Sitting on the main seat, Master Liu had a jujube red face, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a long beard, and at a glance, he looked a bit like Master Guan of Emperor Guan's Temple, wearing an ochre-colored robe, looking majestic.
After eating for a while, suddenly Old Man Liu opened his mouth in a voice like a flood bell and asked, "Liu Yuan, your brother went out to the training institute to help the old Confucian break words, why didn't he come back for so long?"
When Liu Ergongzi heard this, he seemed to choke, and hurriedly said, "Is this...... The elder brother was in a hurry to summon the annotation of the dictionary to his husband, and he was probably very busy, and he would be back in a few days. You didn't go in such a hurry, and you didn't even say hello, which shows that it is very important. It's all about learning! "Cannon fodder turned over
When Master Liu heard this, he had to nod and say, "Yes...... That's also something that can't be helped, and let him go, horizontal and vertical is the right thing. ”
Liu Ergongzi asked cautiously: "But I don't know how my father remembered to ask about my brother?"
Master Liu stroked his long beard and said a little distractedly: "Ahem...... People are old, the family is used to being together, and it is uncomfortable to have one less, it's not like you haven't seen you for a few days, and you have dreamed of your brother. ”
"Dreamed of my brother?" Liu Ergongzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what happened to my father dreaming of my brother?"
Master Liu smiled heartily and said: "It's strange to say, I saw that your brother suddenly only had one face left, pressed under something, like a monkey under the Five Fingers Mountain, he couldn't get out, only shouted: "Father save me, father save me!" I hurried over, trying to drag him out, but I couldn't touch anything, and as soon as I was in a hurry, I woke up with my eyes open, and I was sweating, isn't it a strange dream! You know, I haven't dreamed for a long time, and when I dream, I have a weird ......."
"Ah, isn't this a dream!" Zhu Gongzi was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said: "I don't know ...... Liu Da and him."
"Pap ......" only listened to the words here, but the soup spoon in Mrs. Hongyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered all at once.
"Madam, don't move...... a maid behind Mrs. Hongyan hurriedly cleaned up, and everyone heard it, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a lady frowned and complained: "It's so frizzy, it's really not ......."
Mrs. Hongyan didn't care, but her face changed. Liu Er Gongzi seemed to be panicked in his heart, and only used words to divert the attention of the big guy, and said, "Is this...... Naturally, my father took care of and protected our brother, but as soon as my brother went out, my father was worried, thinking about it day and dreaming at night......"
"That's nature!" Master Liu waved his hand and said very freely: "My mother is worried, my father is not it, and he should come back in a few days!"
Liu Ergongzi nodded hurriedly and prevaricated, but he kept a worried face.
If Liu Dagongzi has the ability to support dreams, then it will only be time for him to become a ghost...... My heart tightened, and I peeked at Mrs. Hongyan, but I saw that Mrs. Hongyan's face became more and more gray.
I hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry about Mrs. Hongyan, maybe it's just a dream of Master Liu, and it may not necessarily represent anything...... "Master Horse."
Mrs. Hongyan hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "This is nature, how can dreams be taken seriously!" The believer was just a moment of negligence, so she dropped the spoon, and the envoy of the dragon god smiled. ”
I nodded hurriedly and said, "If you're lucky, maybe you'll find out tonight!"
"I hope so......" Mrs. Hongyan lowered her head slightly, only looked at the soup bowl, but never took another bite.
The dishes of this meal, including mountain mushrooms, scallop soup, and steamed fish, are all exquisite and very delicacies, but it seems that everyone has no taste for all.
Finally finished eating, I retired with Mrs. Hongyan and went to the room of the playhouse, the night breeze was bleak, and the bamboo in the courtyard was also rattling, which made the people even more panicked.
Mrs. Hongyan didn't take the maid with her, but only lit the lamp herself, staring at the mask on the wall worriedly, and muttered, "I don't know what's going on with Xianggong now......
I had to say a few words of comfort, pay attention to the leakage outside the window, and wait for something strange to happen in the middle of the night. Not long after, Zhu Gongzi, who looked longing, and Liu Ergongzi, who was also worried about Zhongzhong, also came, and the four of them just looked at the masks on the wall and were stunned.
Probably Zhu Gongzi couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere at all, and said: "I don't know what Liu Da thinks, it's unbelievable that he has such a good wife and is only in the same room with this weird mask all day long."
Liu Ergongzi frowned and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, the son is not a fish, and the joy of knowing the fish?" Zhu Gongzi is also a literati full of poetry and books, how could he be so narrow-minded. ”
Zhu Gongzi snorted coldly and said, "What do you know? This "Zengguang Xianwen" has clouds:
"The township party is harmonious and the lawsuit is settled, and the husband and wife are harmonious and the family is prosperous", don't you also study hard since childhood, don't you know? ”
Mrs. Hongyan replied: "Although I have only skimmed a few books, I also understand the truth that "a virtuous wife and a husband have few misfortunes, and a son is filial to his father". The rest, and did not dare to ask for many. ”
"Oh, where else can I find a virtuous woman like my sister-in-law!" Zhu Gongzi came to curry favor with his eyes shining again: "Having a lady like Mrs. Sister-in-law is like this, it is already the greatest blessing in Liu Da's life...... "The unlucky life of cultivating immortals."
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Liu Ergongzi didn't seem to be able to listen to it anymore, so he only coughed desperately.
Madame Hongyan didn't answer, but lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
I was so embarrassed for this self-righteous Zhu Gongzi that I went under the mask wall and looked at the mask one by one, but the more I looked at it, the more novel it became, and I just felt that it was an eye-opener.
Some of the masks were probably just to be held in the hand to enjoy, and even the eyes were not opened, and when the lights flashed, the black pupils reflected the light, as if they were blinking, and they looked more and more like living people.
I was looking at it, cold, but I really noticed a mask's eye, as if it blinked.
I widened my eyes, held my breath, and looked closely, but I saw that the eyes of the mask not only blinked like a living person, but even the lips seemed to be hooked into a strange smile.
Masks, alive? I rubbed my eyes again and stared at the mask, but it suddenly became lifeless and lifeless again, and I almost suspected that I had seen it wrong.
The mask was a fierce-looking appearance, the color of flesh close to human skin, with green muscles on the face and flesh on the cheeks, probably the appearance of a samurai.
I hurriedly tiptoed, pointed to the mask and asked, "Mrs. Hongyan, Second Prince Liu, and I don't know when I bought that mask?"
When Liu Ergongzi heard this, he hurriedly came over to take a closer look, and when he saw that it was the mask, he replied, "Is this it...... Xiao Sheng just knew that this was the first mask his brother collected, and it was because of this mask that his brother became addicted to masks, and he bought them home one after another, so he was impressed, why did Miss Mei ask about it? ”
Where can I tell the story that the mask has just come to life, so I had to say: "It's just that I looked, it seems to be a real person, so I asked more, Liu Ergongzi don't be too careful."
"I see...... "Liu Ergongzi only said that I found some clues, and it was useless when I heard it, and he was a little disappointed that was difficult to hide.
I had to look back at the mask in a sneering way, and I just thought to myself: Could it be that it is not the disaster brought by the last mask, but the strangeness of the first mask, which caused so many things?
was still distracted, but I heard a sentence clearly in my ears: "One less, now one less."
