Chapter Forty-Eight: The Night at the Manor
In the igloo, Ye Duhong and the grass get enough warmth. When twilight fell, Ye Duhong saw the snow outside through the window, and the snow when it was dark was very beautiful, Ye Duhong couldn't help but get out of the igloo, breathing cold air, looking at the snow-white mountains in front of him, only to feel the mountains and snow, and moving. He was sometimes very anxious, for example, now, he especially wanted to go to the mountain and see what the people who ate a lot of fire fox meat every day looked like. When Ye Duhong said that he wanted to go to the snow mountain to find out, he was not opposed by Cao'er, Cao'er thought about it and said to Ye Duhong, as long as you want to go, I will accompany you, but remember that there are reckless men guarding the mountain, which is very dangerous, and we must be careful.
Ye Duhong sat on the stone, moving slowly, the grass used light body kung fu, as Ye Duhong went up, the mountains were cold, even if they used the method of warming up, it was useless. The mountain road was tortuous, and the ascent was hard, but Ye Duhong did not complain. He saw that there were porters on the road who were facing the cold wind, these people were all employed by the rich and noble forces on the snowy mountains, doing hard and tiring work, and there were acrobats on the side of the mountain road, for example, some people took a snake around their necks to play, which was of course arranged by the rich and noble forces on the snowy mountains, in order to relieve the boredom of the porters, but where did the porters dare to look more, and they got up and hurried after a short rest.
Ye Duhong and Cao'er had no burden, and their speed was so fast that they arrived on the mountain earlier than the porters. In front of him is a staircase of dozens of steps, Ye Duhong and Cao'er stepped up, just to the middle of the steps, Ye Duhong hesitated, in case he met a powerful person, he was not allowed to enter, what should he do? Cao'er said, go up first.
Night Duhong and grass go up, go up the steps, and see a gate made of huge stones, there are splendid characters on the door, a total of four: Ronggui Manor. Naturally, the name is taken from the glory of wealth and wealth, that is, the people who come here, and the people in the manor live a life of glory and wealth. The door was very large, and outside the door stood two men with spears in their hands, and the spears had red hairs, and the hairs were long, but they were covered with snowflakes, because they were stained with water, and it was cold, and the red hairs were frozen into strips. Two men with spears in their hands put their spears into a big fork, and the meaning was obvious, that is, they would not be allowed to enter. The two of them asked rudely, what are you two doing?
Ye Duhong smiled slightly and said that we were going up the mountain. One of the guards asked, "What are you doing up the mountain?" I have never seen you before, and your faces are so strange. Ye Duhong touched his nose, smiled, and said, I am a newcomer, this snow mountain has never been here, this time I came to see it. Another doorman said, "If you don't have a permit, you won't be allowed to enter, and if you don't go down the mountain, you'll be killed." Ye Duhong looked a little scared, so he asked, what kind of certificate do you want. The two people looked at each other and said, "It's the entrance permit, the certificate to enter the Ronggui Manor."
Where do Ye Duhong and Cao'er have any certificates, they want to enter the door, but they don't have a certificate, what can they do?
Ye Duhong looked down at the gate, there are walls, bamboos, strange stones, has seen elegant and deep, very progressive. ran inside, and the two gatekeepers saw that Ye Duhong was so disobedient, and with a wave of the spear, they were about to pick Ye Duhong's neck, but Ye Duhong did not dodge, and when he raised his right hand, he actually grabbed the head of the gun. The shot just now was fast, but Ye Duhong's hand was faster, so fast that the gun holder didn't see the movement of his hand, and his gun had been caught. Another gun stabbed over, Ye Duhong's other hand quickly stretched out, grabbed the gun head, he crossed the two gun heads, and broke them hard, and both gun heads were broken. The two people were shocked when they saw that the gun was broken, and Ye Duhong pushed forward with both hands, and the two of them took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground.
Ye Duhong jumped to the door, and Cao'er followed. They moved quickly, and soon reached the eaves, and there was a shout from under the house, saying that someone had broken in, and Ye Duhong and the grass cat were on the eaves, and the house was crowded with people, but no one could be found.
Looking down from the eaves, you can see a lot of heads, they are the servants of the Ronggui Manor, but the clothes are fresh and gorgeous, two people with guillotine guns ran in from the door, saying that a man and a woman had broken in, and they did not know where to go.
This Ronggui manor is very big, and many places are guarded, and when there is a situation, it is like exploding a pot. But Ye Duhong and Cao'er do not walk from below, but act on the roof, so no matter how tightly guarded the bottom is, the top is also unimpeded.
Ye Duhong threw a tile down, threw it far away, the sound of the tile falling to the ground and breaking was very crisp, and the people below ran to the place where the tile fell, thinking that a man and a woman fled to that place, but in fact, Ye Duhong and Cao Er did not move in this place on the eaves.
At last it was quiet under the eaves, and they felt sleepy because of the fatigue of going up the mountain, so they slept on the eaves. When it was dark, Ye Duhong woke up, he woke up the grass next to him, and asked him to look under the eaves, there were people lighting torches below, and there were porters carrying burdens in the torch light. These porters carry the bars to the kitchen, and after bringing the meat to the kitchen, they rest in the small house next to it. There is a big kang in this small house, which is for the porters to rest at night, and many people sleep on a big kang, and the room is smelly and warm.
It was not too late, Ye Duhong and Cao'er had taken the heat pill, and their bodies did not feel cold, but they were a little hungry in their stomachs, Ye Duhong jumped off the eaves, and ran to the kitchen with a gust of wind. He found two dishes in the kitchen, one was boiled beef, and the other was white meat with sauerkraut. He also brought four small bowls of rice. The meals were placed on trays, and the two of them ate on the rooftop. At this time, there is moonlight sprinkled on Ronggui Manor, and the whole world is silver gray appearance, and Duhong and Cao'er enjoy the snow-capped mountains in the moonlight while eating.
Above them was a large, round moon. The flute sounded in the courtyard, and the rich people had to listen to music when they ate, and the flute was melodious, spreading in the moon and snow, touching people's souls and touching people's hearts. Ye Duhong and Cao'er don't need to play the flute, they don't need to spend money to buy tickets, they don't even have documents, they come to Ronggui Manor, they don't need to do anything else, just eat silently on the roof, they can enjoy such a good flute, Ye Duhong suddenly felt that life has this, it is really a great joy.
After eating, Ye Duhong picked up the tray, jumped out of the house, ran to the kitchen, put the tray and the dishes and chopsticks on it into the dishwashing room, gently closed the door, ran to the bottom of the room, and jumped on the roof. The two of them lay on the house, looking at the cold moon, thinking of nothing, or letting their brains run freely, it was like a river, flowing freely, and the waves of this river were bright and extinguished in the moonlight.
Ye Duhong has been away from the battlefield for a long time, and now he not only has no fear and pain caused by the fight in the past, but is somewhat peaceful, his spiritual resistance is stronger, and he has experienced war and fighting, what else can make Ye Duhong afraid, not to mention that the moonlight is sultry at this time, and it is good to be quiet.
