Nie Feng grabbed this person's hand, and suddenly felt a little strange, and after a closer look, this person's palm was extremely small, and white and slender, not like a man's hand, so he hurriedly let go and took two steps back. Awkwardly said, "You...... Are you a woman? ......”

Feeling a little ashamed, Katsuran grabbed a handful of stones from the ground, threw them at him with all his might, and turned around and leaped into the depths of the jungle.

Although Nie Feng never messes with women, he will not let go of an enemy easily. He chased after him in the direction that Katsuran had left.

Sheng Lan originally planned to give up and go back to communicate with the young lady, but found that Nie Feng was still chasing after him, so he turned around and walked deeper into the forest.

After walking for a long time, she saw that Nie Feng did not chase after her, and felt thirsty for a while, so she walked to a nearby stream, took off the veil, and scooped water with bamboo leaves to drink. The water of the stream, gurgling out of the deep mountains, is cool and sweet. Seeing that the grass around her was hidden, she simply sat down, hid and tasted slowly.

In the midst of the leisure, Sheng Lan suddenly felt a tingling sensation in the calf of her left foot, and immediately leaned down to check and found that a snake was coiling down from her foot. She hurriedly took off her shoes and socks to check the wound.

"Don't move! The snake hasn't gone far. Lu Feng's voice sounded behind Sheng Lan. Sheng Lan listened to his words and sat in place and did not dare to move.

Nie Feng took out his bow and arrow and immediately shot the snake's head, saving her from a difficult situation.

"Let me see." Nie Feng came to Sheng Lan's side and was about to lift her trouser legs, but was slapped by Sheng Lan.

Nie Feng covered his face, and said in a surprised and angry voice, "You ......!" I saved you, and you beat me instead?! ”

Although Sheng Lan was a little apologetic, she still said coldly and expressionlessly: "Men and women don't kiss, if you don't behave properly, you should be beaten." ”

Nie Feng said with a half-smile and half-breath: "If you don't pull up your trouser legs, how can you check the wound?" This snake is not very venomous, but it can also be deadly. Save time, hurry up and let me take a look at it for you. ”

Sheng Lan was a little undecided, and before she could agree, Nie Feng pulled up her trouser legs.

He looked at the wound and suddenly frowned, and said, "It's not good, the poison has already begun to spread." After speaking, without saying a word, he tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, tied it on Shenglan's calf, and sucked out the venom from the wound with his mouth.

Sheng Lan watched his every move with his eyes open in horror, turned his head and said, "This little poison can't help me." No need to make such a fuss. ”

"Fortunately, it's not very toxic, it won't cause life-threatening concerns, it will only make you feel dizzy temporarily." Nie Feng didn't seem to hear what she said just now, and still said with concern.

After Nie Feng redressed Sheng Lan's wound, he looked up at her, and was shocked to realize that the beautiful face of the woman in front of him was not gentle and moving, but it was cold and arrogant.

Sheng Lan panicked and escaped from Nie Feng's forced gaze, stood up, and prepared to leave. Suddenly, he stopped again, turned around and said, "Thank you, I owe you your kindness first." ”

After speaking, he looked for the direction he came from and leaped away.

The twilight added a few shades of gray to the sky, and the night gradually fell, and the man standing alone in the mountain reluctantly left, and a mighty wagon of horses also left the Queen Mother Mountain in the setting sun.

Night fell, and the moon slowly appeared, shining brightly. The way down the Queen Mother Mountain seems to be shorter than when it came, and the carriage came to the city gate after a while, and after entering the city gate, the people and horses of all walks of life dispersed and returned home. Mrs. Zhang and Wang Meiren returned to the palace safely under the escort of Lu Feng, the commander of the forbidden army.

The carriage arrived at the painting house, and the painter and his party got out of the carriage one after another, and gave some loose silver to the coachman, and then entered the house. Huayan followed behind Huashu and walked slowly through the front yard, ready to go to Ruya Pavilion to greet his father and mother.

Seeing that her sister didn't say a word on the way back, she thought that her sister was still angry with her, so she quickly followed her sister's side, took her hand, and put together two eyes that were shining with sincerity, "Sister, aren't you angry with Yan'er?" ”

Hua Shu didn't say anything, and continued to walk her lotus steps, and there was no angry look on her face.

Hua Yan shook Hua Shu's hand coquettishly, "Sister, if Yan Er makes my sister unhappy, just scold, don't ignore me." ”

Hua Shu stopped, looked back at Hua Yan with a pitiful face, shook her head helplessly, and pressed Hua Yan's head with her hand, "You! It doesn't always grow big. Now it is becoming more and more bold, and even Mrs. Zhang dares to slack off. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang didn't blame, otherwise she wouldn't know how to ......"

After listening to her sister, Huayan understood why Huashu was angry, and she hurriedly agreed: "I was wrong, I must pay attention in the future!" After speaking, she felt that she was not determined enough, so she walked up to Huashu and pointed to the candle light on the corridor beam, "If my sister doesn't believe it, I will swear by pointing to the lamp and swearing that I will not change these problems of mine in the future, and I will ...... Only...... Punish me for never going out! ”

Hua Shu knocked on Hua Yan's head with a smile and continued to walk towards Ru Ya Pavilion. Seeing that her sister was no longer angry, Hua Yan happily followed behind, gossiping as if she was flattering.

"Sister, the song you played today is so good, everyone is envious."

"Sister, are you hungry? I didn't see you eating much......"

The two entered the small courtyard of Ru Ya Ge, and saw that the hall was lit but empty, so they walked to the inner courtyard.

Next to the tea house in the courtyard of the inner courtyard, the painter Xia Shan was holding a book, looking at it by the faint candlelight, and Mrs. Hua was also sitting aside, bowing her head and sewing a pair of black cloth shoes with a needle and thread.

"Daddy, we're back." Hua Yan strode to the low stool beside Mrs. Hua and sat down, looking at the work that was about to be completed in Mrs. Hua's hand.

Mrs. Hua's eyes slowly shifted from the work in her hand to the body of Huayan and Huashu, she put down her work, quickly stood up, and pulled her two daughters to sit down. "I'm back, I'm tired of going this time, let's sit down first, I prepared lotus root soup, drink it and then go to rest."

"Yes," Hua Shu sat down and obediently agreed.

Mrs. Hua led a girl beside her and personally served soup to the kitchen. There are not many girls who serve in the painting house, and most of them can do it themselves, and they never spend more money to hire someone to do it.

Hua Yan quietly leaned behind his father, looked at the book in his hand, and suddenly said coldly: "Dad, what is this book about?" ”

Painting Xia Shan was not affected by her in the slightest, turned a page, and said while reading: "Ancient history." ”

"How did Dad find this book, don't you always say, these are all idle books?" Hua Yan sat beside his father, lay on the tea table, and asked weakly.

"A book that solves a problem is a useful book." Drawing Xia Shan turned to the side and continued to watch.

Seeing that her father only focused on the book, she didn't ask them about their situation today, and felt that her father didn't care enough about her, and the whole person was also scared. She picked up the candle scissors on the table and cut off the burned wick, "Dad, this light is so dim, reading is not good for your eyes." ”

Hua Xiashan put down the book, turned around, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, if you don't read it for your father, does Yan'er have something to say to your father?" ”

Huayan sat up straight and said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, it's not important, just talk about it." ”

"Drink the soup first, and talk while you drink." Mrs. Hua put the soup on the table, and each person served a bowl.

Hua Xia Shan took the soup brought by his wife, and asked while drinking, "Did you encounter anything interesting today?" ”

Huayan tilted his head and thought about it, suddenly remembered an interesting thing, and said with a smile: "It's really there!" Dad, you know what? Mrs. Zhang's flower-viewing banquet this year really reached a new height, and she actually let us learn to grow flowers! Seven or eight hundred! Mo said that he had planted flowers, and one person and one foot stepped back on the freshly hoeed field to the flat ground. But even so, halfway through, there was a sudden rainstorm, Mrs. Zhang's hair was messy, her makeup was spent, her clothes were all covered with mud, and her newly made gold silk clothes were all dirty, almost making her faint, hahaha......"

When Hua Yan said this, he almost jumped up with a smile, and was gently pressed by Mrs. Hua, "Beware of choking!" How can you say that, Mrs. Zhang, don't say it soon. ”

Huayan was afraid of making her mother angry, so she immediately shut up and obediently drank the soup in the bowl.

Painting Xia Shan was also happy when he heard it, although he didn't laugh out loud, but his face was full of smiles.

Mrs. Hua poured a glass of water, put it in the hand of the painter, and sat down to accompany them to talk, occasionally interjecting a few words. "You still talk about others, aren't you among them?"

Hua Shu took over and said, "Besides, she has long been gone, and she doesn't know where to run to play." ”

Hua Yan drank all the soup in the bowl in one go, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "I don't like to join in the fun, so I went to the side to hide from the rain." ”

Mrs. Hua reluctantly took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth for Hua Yan, and coughed a few times when she encountered the wind for a while.

"Mother, have you been coughing a lot lately?" The painting face is restored to the right color, and the question is concerned.

Mrs. Hua shook her head lightly and said, "It's been much better these days. ”

"It's not okay to drag it out like this, Dr. Zhao's prescription will never work. I'll let Xiao Haizi take a look for my mother tomorrow, right? ”

"No, my mother feels much better." Mrs. Hua looked at Hua Yan and said gently.

Huayan still didn't follow, "My mother doesn't want him to come to see it, so let me go to him to get some medicine, Xiao Haizi is a closed disciple of the jade-faced divine doctor, and the medical skills naturally have nothing to say, so my mother will agree, right?" ”

In order to reassure the painter, Mrs. Hua had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Okay, I'll be there early tomorrow morning!" Huayan thought that she would be able to leave the house tomorrow, and danced happily.

"Don't say anything when you're out of courtesy, don't move if you're incivil, you have to have a beautiful look, you can't be in the same house, you know?" Painting Xia Shan's pretended to be serious.

She grimaced mischievously, knowing that her father didn't really blame her.

Huashu put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and hurriedly helped her cover up: "Dad, Yan'er is very obedient today." ”

Hua Xia Shan nodded, looked at his two daughters kindly, smiled with satisfaction, picked up the book and went back to the house to read.

Huayan turned her head and asked her mother, "Mother, what has Dad been busy with lately?" Do you have time to study ancient history? ”

"Your father has been studying for days to find answers from ancient history." Mrs. Hua got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks.

"What's the problem with Dad?" Hua Yan asked curiously.

Mrs. Hua stopped what she was doing, looked at Hua Xia Shan, who was still reading in the lobby, and said, "The emperor is worried about the disaster in Peicheng, and your father is an important minister of the imperial court, so he naturally wants to help with ideas." ”

"Peicheng?!" The painting immediately raised his alertness.

Mrs. Hua nodded, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with the girl, and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

Huashu also got up to say goodbye to her mother and went back to the house.

This is the end of the warm family gathering.
