Chapter 9: Fear in the Heart
Old Man Ye's yard is very large, with a forest of wooden stakes, and a weapon room, while the room where Ye Chufan lives is much larger than his previous one, and there is also a small study.
Four dishes and one soup every day, exquisite and delicious pastries, let Ye Chufan eat it; Hiccuping. Ye Chong, who was smiling, walked in and looked at Ye Chufan with a satisfied face and said, "Young Master Sun, you can't eat too much in the future, it's better to go out and eat less." ”
Seeing Ye Chong, Ye Chufan immediately became serious, became extremely honest, stood up, walked out of the house with some stiff steps, there was nothing else in the yard except the stake forest, Ye Chufan easily turned over on the stake on a whim.
The long whip hit Ye Chufan's back, his brows furrowed in pain, and when he looked back, he looked back at Ye Chong holding a special whip with a smile on his face, which was very terrifying.
The back was hot and painful, and he took a step slower under his feet, and it was another whip, and when he came down at noon, his back was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the white medicine powder was sprinkled on the wound Ye Chong said in a strong and laughing voice: "The steps under your feet are too slow, you have to hurry up." ”
"Dinner, and then eat in your grandfather's room."
"Grandpa Chong, your whip is so powerful, have you also been on the battlefield?"
"No, my whip is the worst, but Grandpa Chong has escorted grain and grass, and the so-called soldiers go first with grain and grass."
"Gollum" swallowed saliva loudly in his throat, Ye Chufan smiled, and said bluntly: "Why choose me." ”
"Because you can hear voices that no one else can hear."
Ye Chufan asked incredulously, "It's as simple as that." ”
Ye Chong looked at those bright and wide eyes, the originally small eyes had to be wide, and the appearance was very funny, which made Ye Chong like it more and more.
"Take a good rest, and I'll call you when it's time for dinner." The sound of laughter came, making Ye Chufan tremble involuntarily.
Ye Chufan, who was lying on the bed, remembered that his father had also escorted grain and grass, and that time he almost lost his life, and he lay on the bed for more than half a year before he could get out of bed, and now his father is just a petty official patrolling the city. Thinking of this, Ye Chufan was even more afraid, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, the sixth uncle, especially the fourth, fifth, and sixth uncles are all civil officials; The sons of the uncle's family can't read the book, and they have to read hard.
The second uncle's family is still better, most of the daughters are daughters, the sons are still young, and the sons of the three uncles have just been enlightened, as for what road to take in the future, they have already begun to think about it.
Ye Chufan was so engrossed that he didn't meet at all at all, Ye Chong walked into the room with a smile on his face, looking at the fugue state Ye Chufan didn't bother, just stood aside and watched quietly, and when Ye Chufan came back to his senses, the sky outside was already dark.
When the room was lit with oil lamps and candles, Ye Chufan didn't notice it, looking at Ye Chong with a smile on his face, he immediately woke up, and his movements were a little bigger, and there was a hot pain in his back.
Ye Chong just smiled, helped to reload the medicine, put on clothes, Ye Chufan obediently followed behind to the real grandfather's room to have dinner, there was wine and meat on the table, three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, three wine cups, Old Man Ye directly made it down and said, "Sit down!" And there are no outsiders. ”
……
……
Ye Chong gave Ye Chufan a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "How about tasting it?" ”
This weird atmosphere made Ye Chufan feel creepy, and he felt that he couldn't drink it, and he didn't drink it, and the second elder drank several glasses by himself, and he kept smacking.
Seeing them drinking freely, I wanted to drink very much, and I couldn't help it when I touched the wine glass several times, and only ate food and didn't drink.
The two old men looked at each other, and the wine was on their heads, and the old man Ye threw the wine cup on the ground and scolded angrily: "What's the big deal, Lao Tzu doesn't know how many people he killed when he went to the battlefield, just you dirty thing, compared with me, the stone tablet of the general who protects the country is real." ”
"Isn't it just in charge of a dark building? Ye Chong, what is the use of a thing that can't be put on the table, it will only kill people secretly, and a group of killers will be specially cultivated, which is not a grade at all compared to some soldiers in my army. ”
"Grandson, you heard that there is no dark building."
Ye Chong hurriedly said: "Master, that thing is usually done at night, how could Young Master Sun know?" ”
"Also, he's still a child, Ye Chong, you tell him where the dark building is."
Ye Chufan's eyes were purring, looking at Old Man Ye, and then at Ye Chong, looking forward to it.
"If there is darkness, there will be white, sir, in fact, the place in the dark building is a good place, but it's a pity, if it weren't for the accident fifty years ago, Young Master Sun, do you know what the dark building used to do?"
On the surface, he didn't care, but his heart was already itching, while dressing up vegetables, he handed his wine cup to Old Man Ye, and filled Ye Chong with wine, and after working for a long time, Old Man Ye sighed and said: "The dark building before!" It's a place dedicated to gathering intelligence, have you heard of the Huangyao Dynasty? ”
Old Man Ye squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Chufan with an unfathomable look.
"It is rumored that the treasures of the Huangyao Dynasty are inexhaustible, and our current Queen Mother is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Huangyao Dynasty."
"Sir, you're wrong."
"I was wrong, where was wrong, I could still be wrong, how could I be wrong? I think you're itching. ”
"What if you are the master, you are wrong, the Huangyao Dynasty disappeared thousands of years ago, and now it is the world of praying for the country."
Two old children, you and I started to talk about it.
"That dark building was built by the young princess of Huangyao, this is a fact, do you dare to say that I am wrong?"
Ye Chong didn't reply, picked up a piece of meat, grew his mouth, stuffed it in and chewed it, Old Man Ye saw that Ye Chong didn't speak, and he didn't say it himself, especially when he heard half of the story, it was very uncomfortable.
After a long time, Ye Chufan finally couldn't help it, looking at Ye Chong, who was already lying on the table and snoring, and his grandfather, who was still drinking, he pulled his sleeves and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, you haven't finished the story yet?" ”
"What a story! You want to hear the story! Grandpa gives you the story of the battlefield, that's interesting. ”
"Grandpa, it's the story of the Dark Mansion and the White Mansion you just told!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you want to hear it! Drink. ”
Old man Ye passed Ye Chong's wine cup, and when it was full of wine, Ye Chufan drank three glasses of spirits in a row, and his head was a little dizzy at the moment.
"Think about it, there is black and white, originally the two complement each other, do you know how the emperor of the country sat on this throne, it is the dark building, but he is afraid that others will know, so he changed the dark building, my father, grandfather, once bought information in the dark building? Those who don't have money to contribute, those who have money to contribute, depending on what kind of information you want, the price is different. ”
Ye Chufan, who was a little sleepy, didn't notice it at all, where did the old man Ye in front of him look like a person who had drunk?
"As for the role of the White Mansion, no one knows, even if it knows where it is, it has no effect, the world thinks that the two are not connected, but there is an inseparable connection, to say that there is a connection! I couldn't find a little relationship, so in the end, it was gone. ”
Ye Chong didn't know when he picked up the wine jug and filled Ye Chufan with wine, and just when he was about to fall asleep, Old Man Ye looked at Ye Chufan with a smile, and whispered a few words next to Ye Chufan's ear.
At noon the next day, Ye Chufan woke up from his dream.
The words of my grandfather in my ear echoed in my ears.
"Our Ye family ancestor is ......."
"Young Master Sun, it's already three poles in the morning, why are you still sleeping?" A respectful look and a smile.
This made Ye Chufan chuckle in his heart, and Ye Chong's hands didn't know when there were a few more sandbags and a smile.
……
……
Running around the terraces, one foot deep and one foot shallow, falling into the terraces several times, the sandbags on his body suddenly became a little heavier, and Steward Ye still smiled and lost money to the farmers.
The long whip was bent several times in Ye Chong's hand, the wound on his back was sweating profusely because of the water staining at the moment, and the gurgling stomach was protesting at the moment, the sun was setting, shining on the terraces, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
Slowly his legs began to swing, he didn't listen to the call, he was tired and lay on the ground panting, seeing Ye Chong's smiling face, Ye Chufan felt a feeling that life was worse than death.
"If you're tired, then you can take a good rest." The caring tone was so comfortable to hear in Ye Chufan's ears.
I don't know how long I slept, a fragrance came to my nose, and the roundworms in my stomach were hooked, which was uncomfortable!
"I'm hungry, hurry up and find something to eat! Do we have to keep running in an hour? ”
Ye Chufan's sleepy insect disappeared in an instant, and he immediately got up to find food for himself, eating half-cooked rabbit meat, and almost didn't vomit.
The sky just revealed a glimmer of light, not far from a tower, the plaque on the top of the building said the word "Lou", Ye Chong looked at the plaque "Lou".
Ye Chufan sat cross-legged on a stone, his head like pounding garlic, and nodded little by little.
"There is the dark building, the forest in front of it is called the Misty Forest, and after the misty forest is the dark building now."
Ye Chufan found that Ye Chong's face did not have the slightest smile, his face was serious, and following Ye Chong's gaze, the gap between the two buildings was very different.
"There's someone in the building." Ye Chufan exclaimed
Ye Chong moved extremely fast, pulling Ye Chufan, who was already tired and miserable, to hide behind a big rock, and an eagle with wings flying high hovered overhead; Eagle eyes look down on all beings.
"Quick, lead it away, or we won't be able to go."
"Ahh So what lures them away. ”
Ye Chong glared at Ye Chufan fiercely, Ye Chufan took out the shabby purse from his arms and handed it to Ye Chong.
"Grandpa Chong, here."
Carefully handed it to Ye Chong, Ye Chong stared at the eagle hovering above his head and said, "I'll tell you how to blow it." ”
"I'll blow..."Ye Chufan's eyes widened, and he looked at Grandpa Chong in disbelief.
Put the little flute in his mouth, puff up his cheeks and blow hard, Yu Guang saw Ye Chong glaring at him, and looked overhead, how the eagle was flying lower and lower.
"Blow slowly, be domineering, don't use so much force."
Ye Chufan's face was flushed, his head was chaotic, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in his ears, and cold sweat flowed.
Listening to the eagle's long roar, Ye Chong's nervousness gradually relaxed, Ye Chufan blushed, that funny appearance; Ye Chong couldn't help it, covered his mouth and laughed.
The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, Ye Chong patted the dust on his body, and walked towards the other opposite, only to see a city gate in the distance, and the city gate was written "Lou".
"White House." Ye Chufan exclaimed
It's incredible that the two are so close, but they don't notice each other's existence.
