Chapter (3) Absurd Mansion
Youyou Haishi, a mirage.
An ethereal oasis in the desert, a beautiful fairy mountain on the sea. There is fiction in reality, and there is reality in fiction, which is a mirage.
Early in the morning, after cleaning up a little, Obsidian and his party planned to go to the other side of the river to have a look and check the situation.
Ding Ning is the person in charge of this commission, so he led the way, and he also came to a river, the river that Obsidian saw last time was red, red like blood, but the river he saw this time was black, the color, a bit like thick ink.
The river, very wide. On the surface of the river, there is a layer of fog that is not thin or thick, looking into the distance, vaguely only a little bit of the border, there is no bridge on the river, and they have no tools to cross the river, if they want to swim over alive, the feeling, the taste, must be very sour.
It didn't take long for Obsidian to know that he was too worried, and Ding Ning walked to the side of the dead tree, and shook the bell tied to the dead branch slightly, and the bell rang three times.
In the middle of the night, a figure slowly emerged on the other side of the river, getting closer and closer to them, getting closer and closer.
When I got closer, I realized that it was an old boatman, the old boatman was wearing a hat, obviously it was not raining, but he was wearing a coat, the old boatman bent over, rowed the oars, and came slowly, his face was full of wrinkles, only the eyes were very attentive.
The old boatman parked the boat, smiled and let them get on board, and when everyone was seated, he slowly paddled the oars.
The old boatman asked, "What are you doing on the other side, it's not too peaceful over there now......
Hearing this, Obsidian asked, "Why is it not peaceful?" ”
The old boatman shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Actually, quite a few people have died on the other side. ”
Obsidian was startled, and his face suddenly lost blood, "Then how did they ...... killed?" How come a lot of people have died, but no news has been revealed, this is really not good!
The old boatman looked up with a serious expression, "Are all the dead prefecture officials?" I don't know, I just heard that they all saw visions when they were on duty. ”
Obsidian is helpless, in fact, he has regretted it a little now, he really doesn't want to wade into this muddy water!
The river, which seemed to be some distance away, reached the other side in a few moments, and after thanking the old boatman, they got up and went to the local government.
The gate of the mansion was closed, and only a slave came out of the small door on the side, beckoning Obsidian and his party to enter.
Before they reached the antechamber, they heard a man and a woman arguing.
"Ouch, my aunt can't help it, that's an impermanent adult, you arrange it like this, this, how can I be good!" The man's voice sounded helpless.
"What kind of impermanence, it's just a rabbit who looks like a little bit, climbed into the bed of our Lord Yama in exchange for an official position, and you are still afraid of what he will do!! What a worthless one! The woman's voice suddenly rose high, as if she was afraid that no one would hear her.
Obsidian was embarrassed when he heard this, turned his head and asked, "Are they talking about me?" ”
Ding Ning nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head violently, Yan Nianqing's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
The black slave's face was also really displeased, and Obsidian was now half of his master, how could he be humiliated like this?
Obsidian looked at the few people behind him who were more angry than him, and immediately laughed, no matter what, not to mention that he was barely "on the bed of Lord Yama", he said soothingly, "Okay, a few old men, why are you still bothering with a woman, it's almost enough." ”
I didn't know that the woman opened her mouth in the next sentence, "He is just a cheap person who sleeps and rides thousands of people, if you respect him as the superior, then what have you become, if you dare to go, I will leave with you!" ”
Obsidian's face suddenly turned as black as coal, this is a woman, she is clearly a country shrew! Lao Tzu killed her in minutes! No, you have to be calm, calm, and you can't get angry in front of Xiao Nian'er.
"Ahh You, what are you kidding! The woman screamed.
Obsidian walked quickly, only to find that Yan Nianqing had arrived at the front hall at some point, and the little fat dun was holding a dagger in his hand at this time, the dagger must be of good quality, and with a light touch, the woman had already seen a little bloodshot on her neck.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and begged, "Please spare the insider!" Ask the adults to spare the insiders! ”
The woman's body trembled, but her mouth was still unforgiving, "Whoever asks you to beg him, don't ask him!" ”
The man's eyes were bloodshot and he yelled at the woman, "Shut up!" It's not enough trouble, isn't it, say it again, I'll divorce you! ”
The woman was stunned by the yelling, her face turned pale, obviously she didn't expect that the man who usually relied on her would treat him like this, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and regardless of whether she still had a dagger around her neck, she turned her head and ran out, making a big cut in her own neck.
The man was stunned, saluted to Obsidian, and turned to chase him out.
Obsidian sat on the chair next to him, picked up the handsome little chubby dun, took the dagger in the little chubby dun's hand, grabbed his chubby hand and observed it carefully, and said, "Did you get a stroke?" ”
Yan Nianqing shook his head dumbfoundedly.
Obsidian immediately rewarded this stupid baby with a ringing chestnut on his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Next time you don't like to see people, don't do it yourself, what if you hurt yourself?" ”
Yan Nianqing nodded hurriedly, took the opportunity to hug Obsidian's neck and didn't let go, rubbing his head against him, "Daddy, Nian'er knows." ”
Obsidian hugged Yan Nianqing and let Yan Nianqing sit on his lap, holding Yan Nianqing in one hand and banging on the table with the other, knocking on the table with the other, knocking on one or two times, Obsidian and Ding Ning stood behind Obsidian respectively, one left and one right.
Obsidian knew that the little guy was giving him Liwei just now, of course he would not live up to the little guy's intentions, thinking that Obsidian rubbed Yan Nianqing's hand again and looked through it again.
It didn't take long for the man to come back with a slap print, the corners of his mouth were bruised, it was called a ruthless one, and the man's hair bun was messy, like a bird's nest.
The man knelt down tremblingly and said, "Your Excellency will see Lord Impermanence!" ”
Obsidian didn't respond, still rubbing Xiao Nian'er's chubby hand, and I don't know how long it took before he spoke, "What are you doing here?" I've been kneeling as if I'm bullying you. ”
The man got up, saluted, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's the subordinate who is willing to kneel, and the subordinate is willing." ”
The man hesitated a little, and he tried to speak, "My lord, our commission ......"
"Hey, what's the hurry? Why don't you go and coax your wife first, and then let's continue to discuss this issue! With that, Obsidian hugged Yan Nianqing out of the mansion.
Obsidian was really speechless, he had seen a strict wife, but he had never seen such a strict wife.
Ding Ning asked, "My lord, then we won't pick up?" ”
Obsidian pursed his lips, "Pick it up, why don't you take it, but we have to ask them to beg us to take it." "Otherwise, I don't know how that dominatrix will toss around?
After thinking about it, Obsidian lowered his head, and just wanted to ask Yan Nianqing, there was a place to live nearby, but he saw that Yan Nianqing was already asleep, and the little guy didn't want to let go of his neck when he was asleep, and muttered in his mouth, "Mother......"
Obsidian carefully changed to a more comfortable position for the little guy, and sighed infinitely in his heart, if only he really had a child like the little guy.
Obsidian lowered his voice and asked Ding Ning, "Is there a place to live nearby?" ”
Ding Ning said embarrassedly, "My lord, we should have lived in the mansion. ”
The meaning was quite concise and clear, and Obsidian shifted his expectant gaze to the black slave again.
The black slave surrendered, and he said helplessly, "I know. ”
