The second shopkeeper didn't know what he said wrong, so he pulled Xiaobao to inquire, Xiaobao sighed and said: "Second shopkeeper, no wonder our old man is so angry, Young Master Sun is the old man's favorite grandson, don't let others say half a bad word, you try to talk to Young Master Sun in front of him......"

The second shopkeeper didn't wait for Xiaobao to finish speaking, and explained: "But I didn't mean to ridicule and laugh!" ”

Xiaobao didn't say much, but said: "If the second shopkeeper has the intention to flatter our old man, please go and investigate it before coming." ”

The second shopkeeper stuffed Xiaobao with a piece of silver, and said, "I hope that the little brother will help him find out the wind and say a few more good words in front of the old man." ”

Xiaobao didn't dare to ask for his silver, and said suddenly: "I'm sorry, I won't give it away." With that, he turned and went back.

The old man was angry with himself, Liu Zhong stepped forward and said: "Master, this matter, I'm afraid it's not so simple, what do you think, who is this Chen Pingyuan?" He didn't pick up such a big bargain, and personally delivered the goods to Beijing, which is not in line with his character. ”

The old man was also suspicious, he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You say, what's the mystery in this?" ”

Liu Zhong suggested: "It's better for me to invite the second shopkeeper to have a meal tonight, and by the way, ask the reason." ”

The old man hummed and said: "It's okay, but it's really strange to say, this person under the Chen Plains has always been arrogant and domineering, just now I spoke in such a bad tone, but he was not angry but panicked, presumably, as you said, thousands of miles to send tea, I am afraid that I don't know what the inside story is." Now send a message to the inn where he is staying, and say that you will ask him to eat wine tonight, for I have heard that he is a drunkard, so ask him to go to Bibo Lou and pay the money from the account. ”

The old man did not return home until near the end of the day, because the moonlight was clear and beautiful, and he drank two glasses of warm wine in the store, and his steps became a little frivolous. Xiaobao supported him with a lantern and walked through the wet bluestone path, and every night in the house, the stone paths and corridors of the yard were washed with water to keep them clean. This is a rule that has been passed down from Mrs. Liu, and this habit has not changed for many years since she died, which shows how dedicated and respectful the old man is to his wife.

"Master, be careful!" Xiaobao saw that his feet were slipping, so he hurriedly supported him and warned him.

The old man said irritably: "Come on, I don't want your help, am I too old to walk now?" ”

Xiaobao had to let go of him and walk beside him with a lantern.

Walking to the vicinity of Yufeng Building, he suddenly heard a few bird cries, and Xiao Bao said strangely: "What time is it now, why are there still birds that have not returned to the nest?" ”

The old man looked up at the tall plane tree, which was like a strange monster in the darkness, lying quietly in front of the house, its branches and leaves were shaken by the wind, making a rustling sound, and he said, "I am afraid that the birds have built a nest in the plane tree." ”

As soon as the words fell, a black monster flew out of the plane tree and rushed straight towards the old man, who was frightened, and fell to the ground with a wrong step. Xiao Bao screamed, but fortunately he was young and bold, and he had the courage to lift the lantern and shine it at the monster, and the monster flew away with a whoosh.

A nursing home hurriedly rushed over, and Yang Jiaotou hurriedly helped the old man up, and asked urgently, "What happened?" Got a night walker? ”

Xiaobao was frightened now, and said with palpitations: "It's not a night road, it's a monster, and it can fly." ”

In the end, the old man has rich life experience and is used to seeing big scenes, so he was frightened by the monster, and now he has recovered his expression and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's dark and can't see clearly, I'm afraid it's a thief in the martial arts, Yang Jiaotou, you take people around to inspect it, don't let him succeed." "Liu Fu has tried many times that people from the martial arts have come to steal their property, and those people in the martial arts will do light work and can fly off the wall. Besides, where are there any monsters in this world?

"Yes, master, little brother, you send the master back to rest." With that, he led a group of guards and hurried away.

Xiaobao sent the old man into Yufeng Building, and the housekeeper took care of the old man's clothes tomorrow in Yufeng Building, Xiaobao explained a few words to the housekeeper and left.

On the dark bluestone brick wall outside Yufeng Building, there was a lazy figure sitting on it, biting an apple in his mouth, looking thoughtfully in the direction where the monster had gone, and a light smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth. She stretched out her hand to pull down the rose that stretched out of the wall in the garden, and the leaves were rubbed into leaf mud in her palm, and she put it between her nose and sniffed it gently, disgusted and discarded, and said indignantly: "The flowers are so fragrant, why are the leaves so smelly?" ”

"Scholars are elegant, and they also have to see if they are material in this area." Shiroko's voice sounded sarcastically, and she snatched her apple in one hand, put it in her mouth and bit it.

The figure in the darkness was Long Yinle, and she said angrily: "Then, are you a merry genius?" ”

"Rude, I'm really talented." Snake King Bai Zi said proudly.

"I'm too lazy to tell you, I'll go back to sleep." Long Yinle jumped off the wall, sucked the embroidered slippers, and walked towards Yingxiangyuan rustlingly.

"Hey, that little monster just now, aren't you going to make a move?" Bai Zi followed behind her, dissatisfied.

Long Yinle said lightly: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"Your surname is Dragon." Bai Zi hit the nail on the head.

"Your surname is Bai?"

"Nonsense!" Bai Zi was angry, "You are still holding the dragon staff now, are you going to ignore it like this?" ”

Long Yinle turned around abruptly and said, "Are you annoying?" A little monster wants me to take action, I am in charge of the Three Realms Law, as long as he doesn't kill people, what qualifications do I have to take people's lives? If all demons must be killed, Baizi, the first thing I want to kill is you, the snake king. ”

Bai Zi said coldly: "You still remember that you are in charge of the Three Realms Law!" ”

"What do you mean?" Long Yinle's eyes flashed with flames.

Bai Zi suddenly sighed faintly, "Go back, you've been here for a year, and people have found it, you should die too, right?" ”

Long Yinle did not answer with a calm face, turned around and walked back, but his steps were much slower than before.
