Chapter 25: The Immortal in the Painting (1)
The weather is getting cooler, but the sun is still a little hot at noon.
Because it was only an hour's distance from the small town on the edge of the Misty Ghost Forest, the four of them were not in a hurry to leave, and saw a very dense big banyan tree on the side of the road, and there were a few large stones under the tree that were quite smooth and clean that had been taken care of by the wind and rain, so they walked over to rest.
Du Heng put his hand on the pergola and looked around for a long time, and said disappointedly: "What kind of town is this? It's just a bare gate, not even a decent city wall, and the history of nearly a hundred years is still mixed like this, it seems that the Misty Ghost Forest is really just a woods filled with fog all year round as rumored." ”
"Isn't that good?" Nangong Fei said.
Pang Songyun also nodded, normal people would not want to meet some non-human creatures all the time, whether they are good or bad, immortals or demons. Because compared to them, ordinary people are really too weak, and the strong do not need to have scruples in the face of the weak, even if he has no intention of eating people, it may turn you into a toad.
Du Heng was happy to see some strange creatures, but he had the courage and no means, and he could only obey the majority in this kind of matter.
Drinking saliva and chatting, and just as he was about to get up and continue walking, Pang Song stopped and said, "Did you hear the cry?"
Du Heng and Nangong Fei stopped talking and laughing, and listened, there were, like a young boy, not too far away from them, crying very sadly.
"I heard it just now, and I stopped crying a few times, and I thought I had heard it wrong, so I didn't say it. Yun Mu's ears were also very sharp, she looked into the woods, her face unbearable, "Is he lost?"
This forest is the edge of the Misty Ghost Forest, and it doesn't look very lush from the outside, but it's hard to say that it's inside the forest.
Pang Song was angry and shouted in the direction of the cry: "Hey, little brother, can you hear me?"
The crying man seemed to be frightened, and the sound stopped at once, and then a little later, a boy in green with red lips and white teeth ran out of the woods. A pair of overly smart eyes looked at the four of them one by one, and then stared at Pang Song with surprise in his eyes.
Pang Song felt strange in his heart, but he didn't plan to ask more, but only reminded: "Little brother, be careful when walking in the woods in the future, since you are fine, go back quickly." ”
"Oh. Xiao Tong nodded, and when he saw that Pang Song was leaving, he hurriedly ran over to stop him, "Childe, can you do me a favor?" ”
Pang Song looked down at him, the little boy's face was still wet, thinking that it was not easy for such a young child to do things in a big family, and it would be nothing if it wasn't a big deal, so he asked, "What's the help?"
"That's the case......" the boy was articulate and quickly made things clear.
The child's name is Dijin, from Shengye Villa, and today is the big day of their owner. Originally, everyone was happy, but who knew that when the sedan chair was on, the new lady suddenly cried and said that she was so pitiful that she was lonely, and she had to find a brother to carry her on the sedan chair.
This is sad for the owner.
The new lady's family is a single family, she is an only daughter, she has no brothers, and there are no cousins, where can I find a brother at this time?
When the new lady thought about it, she said that it was okay to find a stranger to carry it, but it was necessary to satisfy her.
The owner of the village brought all the young men who came to drink the wine to the new lady, and even the servants who were more upright-looking, but the new lady was too picky, and the good-looking ones disliked the mother, and the motherless ones were too rough, neither the mothers nor the rough, and they did not look like her.
"Wow, you new lady is a good trickster. Du Heng exclaimed.
"Alas, our owner loves the new lady very much, let's go outside to find it if we can't find it in the villa, anyway, if the owner can't marry the new lady today, we can't go back. Di Jin looked at Pang Song with a bitter face, "Childe, you are good-looking, and you are a little similar to our new lady, can you work hard and put the new lady on the sedan chair." ”
"This ......" Pang Song didn't expect it to be this busy, and he couldn't laugh or cry a little.
"I think it's good, the beauty of adults, and you can eat a lot of wine. Du Heng smiled, "Moreover, I really want to see your owner and new wife." ”
Nangong Fei and Yun Lan are not very old, they are the age when they love to be lively, so they naturally want to go.
"Okay, let's go. Pang Song smiled.
Dijin jumped up and down to lead the way in front, through the grove, and after walking less than three miles, he saw a large manor with no edge in sight, and a plaque hung on the imposing gate, and the book sheng night villa.
"Hey, such a big mountain villa, why is it not marked on the map?" Du Heng wondered.
"Maybe it's because the villa hasn't been established for a long time. Pang Song patted the stone lion with a big red flower, "It's a bit old, and it won't be like this if it's renovated." ”
The four of them followed Dijin to walk inside, only to see that the flowers and trees were flourishing, the rockery pavilions were scattered, and a thick red carpet was laid out everywhere they could go. From time to time, I saw gorgeously dressed guests chatting and watching the scenery, and there were also slender maids shuttling back and forth, a rich appearance of flowers, compared with the yellow earth and wild forests outside, this place is like a fairy residence.
What kind of person would run to the wilderness to build such a big mountain villa?
Dijin introduced them to Shengye Villa while walking, it turned out that the current owner used to be a very famous painter, because there were too many people who asked for paintings, the owner was annoyed, so he found such a desolate place to live in seclusion.
"Nowadays, every grass, tree, brick and tile in the villa, including us, is painted by the owner himself. Dijin said proudly, "It's a pity that the villa is too big, if you can see the whole picture, you will know how beautiful our villa is." ”
"Haha, including you, did your owner draw your appearance and look for it again?" Nangong Fei asked with a smile.
"Well, I'm talking about clothes. "Dijin is embarrassed.
After walking for a while, the owner's scolding voice lacked clarity, Dijin obviously didn't jump so much, wiped the sweat from his palms, and asked the four of them to wait for a while, and then go in to report by themselves.
The owner of the village stopped scolding, and hurriedly came out with Dijin, and when he saw Pang Song, he was overjoyed, and took Pang Song's hand and said: "This time it will definitely work, brother, my brother's lifelong event depends on you." Let's take a walk, let's pick up the bride, this mother-in-law who can find trouble, wait until you enter the door to see how Lao Tzu cleans her up. ”
Di Jin and other servants who followed closely behind the owner of the village were all disgusted, and they had not seen what the owner looked like in front of the new lady, so they could only play prestige in front of strangers.
However, this majesty did not last long, because the bride's residence was very close, and as soon as the majestic owner stood at the door, he unconsciously laughed with two dimples: "Rong Rong, Rong Rong, I brought another uncle over, you open the door and take a look." ”
