Chapter 117: Plum Garden
Although I have never been to the Plum Garden, I have heard that when the date set for the Plum Garden arrives, as long as you have an invitation card in your hand, someone will come to greet you.
Everyone is like this, so everyone doesn't know where the plum garden is.
Seeing that the night was getting darker, my mother also became nervous and walked to my side, her brow furrowed all the time.
Shen Moying's face was even pale, and sweat was pouring out of his palms.
"Wait for me!" I turned back to my mother and Shen Mozhi and said a word.
The two nodded lightly, their faces solemn.
At this time, I saw a gloomy wind blowing outside the door, and a gray eight-lift sedan chair had fallen to the gate of the courtyard. In front of the sedan chair, there was a handsome little girl, dressed in green clothes, standing respectfully outside the door.
When the little white dog saw the sedan chair, the fur all over his body exploded, and he barked at the sedan chair with bared teeth.
I took a deep breath, kicked the little white dog back, and strode out of the yard.
"Please sir, get on the sedan chair!" The maid in Tsing Yi made a blessing.
I nodded, opened the sedan curtain, and casually glanced at the eight sedan chair drivers, feeling that a heart was in my throat.
Paper Man! These eight palanquin bearers turned out to be paper figures!
These paper figurines are so vivid that they look like real people, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell them apart at all.
Who would have thought that Mei Yuan would use eight paper figures as sedan chair drivers?
I nervously sat in the sedan chair, feeling the lightness under me, the sedan chair seemed to be lifted up, swaying forward.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt a lot of wind outside, but the sedan chair only shook slightly, without the slightest bump. I knew that this was supposed to be accelerating, but even if it was accelerating, the eight paper figures didn't seem to have a hard time, as if everything was going well.
I can calculate time, but I can't calculate speed, so I don't know where I've got.
After ten minutes, I could hear the sound of spring water, which was not loud, but it was very clear.
I felt the sedan chair sink, and then the sedan curtain was opened, revealing the little girl in green clothes.
This little girl is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and she looks very pleasant.
"Please sir cover your face!" The little girl hunched over and held a mask in both hands.
I hesitated for a moment and put the mask on my face.
"Please come with me......," said the maid in Tsing Yi, carrying a dim lantern, leading the way.
At this time, I took a closer look around, it seemed to be a barren mountain, surrounded by dense woods, and not far in front of me, there was a magnificent manor, which looked brightly lit.
I looked back, and all I could see was a sedan chair lifted out of the dense forest in the distance, but I couldn't see the way I came.
I'm afraid no one knows where he is now.
At this time, the maid in Tsing Yi had already taken me to the gate of the manor.
On the gate of the manor, there are two big blood-red characters written: Plum Garden!
This is the Plum Garden?
Although I was a little nervous in my heart, I knew that since I had come here, I should take it in stride.
The little maidservant girl led me across the gate of the manor, and I saw that the manor was full of maidservants carrying lanterns, and behind each of them was a man with a mask.
These people were either restrained or curious, and they were silently following the maidservant, for fear of going in the wrong direction.
Crossing the front door, to the atrium, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, in the courtyard of the atrium, planted with plum trees, each one is extremely luxuriant, like the most beautiful flowers in the world. Under each plum blossom, there are three skeletons stretching out their palms, holding an emerald green vine, these vines are wrapped around the plum tree, showing a great contrast with the plum blossoms, like a touch of poison.
I counted carefully, and there were nineteen plum trees in total, and except for the first one, the rest had vines. This reminds me of a curse, could it be that this green vine man represents the curse of the plum garden?
On the last plum tree, there is a large red flower, which is in full bloom.
I took a deep breath and knew that the Plum Garden was doing this to explain to people that the last plum in the Plum Garden was going to be auctioned, and the one with the highest price would get it! Whoever can buy this plum will be able to take this big red flower with him and take people away.
I stared at the last plum and couldn't help but clench my fists.
At this time, a maid in Tsing Yi walked up to me, followed by a masked man with a big belly, which made me immediately see the identity of this person.
Wen Qinghua!
It seems that the invitation of the Wen family finally fell into the hands of Wen Qinghua?
"Yang Sheng?" Wen Qinghua's voice came faintly, as if with a sneer, "You dare to come here, I really admire your reckless behavior!" But do you think that if you come to the plum garden, you will be able to take people away? ”
My face sank and I stared at Wen Qinghua.
Wen Qinghua said coldly: "How much financial resources do you have?" How good are you? Do you think that the bidding of the plum garden is just for the money? If you don't have the power behind you, can you really take a plum from the plum garden? ”
"Whether I can take it or not, that's my business......" I said in a deep voice.
Wen Qinghua seemed to laugh, and said with some mockery: "You can watch me take your little aunt away, seven years ago I picked the big red flower from here and took away the thirteenth plum, and today I will also bring the big red flower and take away the last plum ......."
I also laughed, "I'm afraid you don't have that ability......"
"Whether I have the ability or not, it's not up to you to decide, I will go to bed again and love your little aunt well......" Wen Qinghua said in a whisper.
I stepped forward, shook my wrist, punched like the wind, and smashed a fist on Wen Qinghua's lower abdomen.
Wen Qinghua didn't have time to react, his body suddenly flew out of a distance of three or four meters, fell to the ground, and rolled out like a ball.
At this time, all the people in the courtyard looked at each other, as if they were frozen in place.
Wen Qinghua got up angrily and roared frantically: "Yang Sheng, as long as you get out of the gate of the plum garden, I will make your life worse than death!" I swear Wen Qinghua will kill you alive......"
I glanced at it indifferently, then turned around and left with the maid in green clothes.
The people in the manor all fell silent, and they stayed away from Wen Qinghua one after another, as if they were afraid of encountering the plague.
I followed the maid in Tsing Yi into the building of the manor, and followed her footsteps all the way to a hall.
The hall is more like a theater, with rows of seats scattered around it except for a stage in front of it.
The maid in Tsing Yi did not lead me to the seats, but walked towards the second floor, until she reached the door of a private room, and then stood respectfully.
I hesitated a little, pushed open the door of the private room, and saw that there was a large glass outside the private room, and I could see the stage outside, and this location was very good, it could be regarded as a small view of the mountains.
I walked to the glass and watched a person wearing a mask, led in by the maid in Tsing Yi, and after finding their respective positions, they slowly sat down.
In the whole hall, the silence was terrible, no one whispered to each other, and no one spoke, as if they were afraid of being recognized.
I saw that Wen Qinghua had already walked in, but his body was not very good, and he was limping, attracting a lot of eyes.
I admire Wen Qinghua very much, because I know that the punch I just made didn't save his hand at all, and under normal circumstances, he can't walk normally now. It is indeed a bit of perseverance to be able to come in at this time.
At this time, music sounded in the hall, and it was an elegant guzheng.
I sat in the private room, staring at the stage a little nervously, but the stage never moved, and the door of the private room behind me was pushed open little by little.
I looked back, and I was shocked to see a man in a moon-white robe standing at the door, with a hideous mask on his face, as if he was staring at me.
The Lord of the Plum Garden!
I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived here, the Lord of the Plum Garden would appear and come to my private room very accurately.
I subconsciously raised my palm, desperately sensing the Netherworld Prison Knife, if I did it at this time, I had to kill it with one blow.
The Lord of the Plum Garden looked at me for a long time, walked over slowly, and sat down slowly opposite me with light steps like a ghost.
"You are much worse than Yang Tianyou, he wasn't so nervous when he came......" The Lord of the Plum Garden seemed to shake his head.
"My dad is better than me......" I said, pretending to be calm.
The lord of the plum garden said jokingly: "Even if your father is really strong, I don't take him seriously!" ”
I grinned, lowered my voice, and said, "Indeed, you are the master of the plum garden, my dad must have put you in his eyes, maybe you are in my dad's eyes, a ...... **?" ”
