Shen Yeling went out alone, still coming back alone, and he didn't see the medicine he bought for his wife in his hand, but when he returned to the house, he saw several of his apprentices taking the money to buy a bunch of food and play, sitting on the stone steps of the compound and watching the moon.

An apprentice chatted to them with a big white cake in his mouth: "It's really boring, you can't go out at night."

Another apprentice originally sat on the ground, but after sitting for too long and feeling tired, he lay down and explained to him: "It was a city-wide curfew, didn't you see the wanted notice at the city gate yesterday, and the investigator said that the person above would bite."

"Biting, can you bite people to death", Xu Ruliang asked curiously as he ate the snacks they bought.

The lying apprentice nodded, and said suspiciously: "It can really bite people to death, a town guard was bitten to death before, and then a few ordinary people were also bitten to death by him, and that person loves to bite his neck, as soon as he bites someone, that person will lose his breath."

Xu Ruliang imagined that this person was running towards him with his teeth and claws full of blood after biting his neck, and he was the next target, and he was so frightened that the snacks in his mouth fell out.

Shen Yeling's call took him out of his imagination, Xu Ruliang and several apprentices surrounded him, each holding a thing in his hand and putting it in front of Shen Yeling, letting him choose, Xu Ruliang didn't have a physical object in his hand, just stood and asked in his mouth: "Master, do you see anything interesting on West Street?"

Shen Yeling nodded, took a few things in the hands of the apprentices, and after a while, he began to answer: "Yes, I met a father and daughter singing Kunqu Opera on the side of the bell tower, and I also learned a piece of music made by their Xunyang people."

The apprentices were happy, some remembered whether they had been to the clock tower during the day, and some did not notice that there was such a father and daughter even if they had been.

So the attention shifted from the tune to the father and daughter, Xu Ruhao said curiously: "I heard the eldest aunt say that the master used to sing Kunqu Opera, with a good figure and good singing method. Then the master is the master singing better or the girl singing better".

Shen Yeling rubbed Xu Ruliang's head and said, "Naturally, your master is good", several apprentices jokingly went back to the room, Shen Yeling also took a few of their things in his hands, it was originally used to go back to the study for a night, and now he thought that the pipa played by the girl was similar to the one played by Xu Man back then, so he went to see her again when he was sleeping.

The room that Shen Yeling chose for Xu Man was in the study next to him, and if Xu Man had any illness at night, he could hear it in the study. He pushed open Xu Man's door, and the weak candlelight illuminated only a corner of her bed.

Xu Man curled up on the bed covered with a thick quilt, it was rare to see Shen Yeling come to see her, the reality was shocked, and he hurriedly got up: "Erlang, why are you here", said and found a stool next to the bed for him to sit on.

Shen Yeling took advantage of the situation and pulled a stool to sit on the edge of her bed, so that she could lie down without saying hello, her illness was still not good for a year or two, and the bloodless color made two dark circles drag on her skin, which made people look like she had crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Xu Man doesn't care about other people's eyes, she has a good temper, and she doesn't take anything to heart casually, Shen Yeling told her that what he encountered on West Street today, she also guessed a rough idea: "That girl sees that you are good-looking and kind-hearted, she must like you."

Shen Yeling also nodded without pretense, he nodded very naïve, it was rare to see him naïve, just his eyes drooped, his head swung up and down twice, and he said: "I told them that I bought medicine for my wife, and they let me go."

Xu Man nodded, nodded his head twice and made her throat itch again, coughed a few times, and then said, "Erlang thought of me, and then thought of your mother."

Xu Man's words hit his weakness, pursed his mouth and didn't speak, seeing that Xu Man was still looking at him with a smile on his face, the corners of his eyes flashed, like the light that would only come out when he watched his children grow up day by day.

The next moment, Shen Yeling's lower body sat on the stool honestly, his upper body fell on the futon, his head lay on Xu Man's lap, and Xu Man's legs moved through a layer of bedding. Shen Yeling's hands had nowhere to put them, and they also put them on the futon, only to feel that under the thick quilt alone, the two extremely thin legs were still panicked.

Xu Man rubbed Shen Yeling's hair with his fingers wrapped in skin, and said softly: "Erlang really misses his mother, he has thought about it since he heard me sing music back then, right?"

She didn't mean to ask Shen Yeling to answer, maybe it was because of the song she sang back then, which made Shen Yeling redeem her in a brothel, and married him again after several twists and turns.

Xu Man also thought that Shen Yeling didn't regard her as a wife at all, she was just an afterimage of his mother, so he hadn't touched her for so many years. It is rumored outside that Shen Yeling is so good to his wife, and he still does not give up when he is sick. In her eyes, it was not a good husband, but what a filial son should do.

She didn't rub Shen Yeling's head, changed the place to pat her back, and still said calmly: "Erlang, when we find Miss Luo, we are looking for your mother", so that the people that Erlang remembers in his heart are all by your side, then his senior brother Zhang and sister-in-law will be happy for him when they know Quanxia.

Shen Yeling just fell on Xu Man's lap in a languid, got a trace of warmth, and then sat up energetically: "There is one thing I forgot to tell you, "Drunken Red Mansion" was written by Mr. Jiang Yuanjiang."

"Mr. Jiang", Xu Man sat at the head of the bed for a while, found Mr. Jiang, and there was hope for Erlang to find Miss Luo, Xu Man was overjoyed by his eyebrows, and coughed even more.

Shen Yeling patted her back with concern, walked a few steps to the tea table and got a cup of warm water for her, Xu Man drank the water smoothly, and continued to listen to Shen Yeling: "It's just that Mr. Jiang is afraid that it is difficult to find, they say that Mr. Jiang is degenerate in Fireworks Willow Lane, you know that I was dragged by him once back then, and I have never been to that kind of place since I ransomed you." I'm afraid that he will touch the scene, after all, his mother is also from there, and he can't go to that kind of place.

Xu Man was also embarrassed and thought of a way for him. After Shen Yeling finished speaking, he was relaxed, stood up and let her sleep well, Jiang Yuan's matter will be thought about slowly in the future, and he will also go back to the study to sleep.

He lay on the collapse, leaning to his right side and facing the window, and when he looked up, he could see the large disc hanging in the sky, and the white moonlight from the disc and the autumn wind at night blew her colder. He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and slept with his head covered.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Shen Yeling got up a little late, and Xu Ruliang waited in front of his door for a long time before sending the medicine into his room early.

first fetched a basin of water and waited for him to wash, watched him drink the medicine, and ate early before saying: "Shang Zhi, I went to school early in the morning and was very obedient, and my junior brothers also followed Master Yu to practice."

After he finished explaining, he watched the master finish drinking the medicine, then he accepted his medicine bowl, brought a plate of food boxes with chocolate toffee, swallowed and said, "Master, the master said that when you finish drinking the medicine, you won't be bitter after eating this."

Shen Yeling looked at the candy wrapped in colorful paper on the food box, and said with a smile: "She really has a heart." As he spoke, he grabbed two or three and stuffed them into Xu Ruliang's hand. He pushed the candy he was still holding in his hand into his arms again: "Let's divide these with the brothers."

"Okay", Xu Ruliang put the candy in his hand into his pocket, ran out happily, and turned around and was stopped by Shen Yeling: "Ruliang, wait until Master Yu finishes fighting."

Xu Ruliang wanted to laugh a little, Master Yu was a master in their drama troupe, specializing in teaching his apprentices to practice, walking and other actions in various plays, if an apprentice did not practice well, he would be pulled out directly, and he took off his pants with the knife noodles and beat them into the meat.

In the past, Shen Yeling's senior brother Zhang Changxin was also a ruthless character, and together with Master Yu, he took turns beating his apprentices to open the skin, and said: 'If you want to be noble in front of people, you will suffer in the future', this is all what Master Zu said, and I will practice it well. After speaking, it was another knife face, and he hit the apprentice who was not angry.

Shen Yeling was led by Xu Ruliang to the courtyard where they practiced hard work, and the sound of Master Yu's reprimand was accompanied by the sound of the apprentices kicking, and it was accompanied by a few loud and crisp leather whips.

Shen Yeling walked in the door, with Xu Ruliang holding a food box containing candy behind him, and the little apprentices' eyes lit up, looking at him as if they were looking at a bodhisattva.

Master Yu pointed at Shen Yeling and said to the apprentices: "Have you seen that your master and uncle have achieved the master who has been practicing hard since childhood, and the ancestor will appreciate the meal." You gags, you will be on the side of others for the rest of your life." As he spoke, he stabbed a few more viciously.

Shen Yeling hurriedly snatched the knife from Master Yu's hand and slapped his palm twice with the knife surface: "Master Yu, it's almost over, you can rest, I'll do the rest."

"You?" Master Yu squinted at Shen Yeling a few times, Shen Yeling generally didn't beat his apprentices, even if he did, it was because the apprentices were lazy, and he took a bamboo whip and played a few hard tricks on the apprentice's hands. Shen Yeling's body is not as burly as his senior brother, and he will definitely not be able to give the apprentices the pain they have worked so hard to remember.

But he had no choice but to give up, Master Yu was tired and wanted to have a good rest, so he agreed to Shen Yeling, turned his head and threatened those apprentices who didn't make it: "Don't be lucky, wait for winter to come, if anyone doesn't practice well, I will let him kneel in the snow with water and kneel until the water freezes."

So he turned his head and swore that he ran to the kitchen and brought out a pot of dragon wells, and sat in a wheelchair to drink leisurely.

A stick of incense passed, the apprentices all rubbed their waists, touched the pain and came out to rest, there were two factions in the evergreen class, one faction followed Zhang Changxin, and the other faction followed Shen Ye Lingxue, now that Zhang Changxin is gone, they will all return to Shen Ye's spiritual sect, but the title has not changed.

Xu Ruliang brought the box of chocolate candy to them, and within half a day, it was snatched up, and a group of people pinched the candy and shouted with gratitude: "Thank you, Master", "Thank you, Uncle".

After dividing the sugar, a few teenagers sat on the hook fence outside the practice hall, or sat on the stone steps informally, in short, all the places where they could rest comfortably were occupied.

A young man said inexorably: "I used to say that Master Yu's beating is like tickling, but when I see it today, Uncle Xiao's beating is like tickling."

"That's Master reluctant to beat us, idiot," the other teenager corrected.

。。。。。。。

"Don't say anything else, Uncle Xiao is really good to us, I really pity us", a young man rubbed the red mark that he was beaten by Master Yu.

Everyone nodded, "Senior brother, is your little junior brother Zhang Shangzhi still studying the Three Principles and Five Constants in the school", Xu Ruliang, who was named, hurriedly raised his head, usually he sent the little junior brother to and from school, sometimes the master.

A teenager was a little unhappy: "What can he learn from his temper in the school, isn't it just a beating, just like us."

"The old gentleman in the school is rigid, can he spare us like a little uncle", the young man who led the speech just now seemed to be a little mighty, as if he had been beaten by Shen Yeling and was very honorable.

At this time, Shen Yeling passed by them, and everyone gathered around, some calling Master, and some calling Uncle Shi.

Shen Yeling smiled and nodded in response, looked at Xu Ruliang in the crowd, and asked him to arrange the senior brothers, and the kitchen was ready for lunch.

"What about you, master", Xu Ruliang looked at Shen Yeling holding an umbrella and preparing to go out.

Shen Yeling saw that Manager Li of Chunheyuan had no intention of calling them to the opera troupe, so he simply went to have a look to find out when his drama in Xunyang would open.
