Chapter 141: A Promise from a Young Man (2)
(a)
The sky darkened, and Chi Yan took Xing'er to walk in the forest for a long time, and saw the light of torches not far away.
"Miss, Miss Apricot..."
As the light drew closer, Apricot faintly heard someone shouting her name.
Sure enough, I didn't wait long, and I saw the butler with a worried look holding a torch and leading five or six subordinates, all of whom appeared in front of the two of them.
"Ouch, Miss, you can call me easy to find~"
After searching for a few hours, I finally found the person. The housekeeper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Xing'er was fine. And the heart that has been in my throat has also fallen.
After sweeping a few laps, I didn't see Shangguan Jianfei. Xing'er pursed her lips in disappointment and asked the butler, "Lu Bo, how did you find here?"
"That's not it..."
Before the words began, Steward Lu suddenly noticed that there was a strange man standing next to Xing'er. Handing the torch in his hand to the person on the side, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xing'er to his side.
"Miss, who is this person?" While asking in a low voice, Steward Lu did not forget to look at Chiyan vigilantly.
Xing'er smiled, gently broke away from Steward Lu, reflexively grabbed Chi Yan's hand, and proudly introduced: "Lu Bo, this is the Chi Yan Heavenly God!"
Red Flame Celestial?!
Steward Lu shuddered unconsciously, and then looked at Chi Yan again in astonishment.
The man in front of him was handsome, handsome, dressed in a brocade scarlet robe, and stood in the wind. This look does give people an indescribable sense of ethereal dust.
Right now, being looked back and forth by a man with such hot eyes really made Chi Yan a little awkward. Therefore, he had to cover his lips and cough lightly as a reminder.
This coughing sound, which was not light or heavy, instantly pulled back the person who was in a trance. Steward Lu hurriedly withdrew his gaze and asked again, "Are you really... Red... Red... Red..."
Seeing that he seemed to have a stutter, he stammered. Xing'er couldn't help but step forward and snatch Bai and explained, "Lu Bo, the Red Flame Heavenly God and I just came back from my cousin's place. ”
In his early years, he learned that this Red Flame God had a relationship with the old lady's sister. Now, indeed, they have come down from the hillside. It seems that this person is really a Red Flame Heavenly God!!
A spirit, after a long dream, Steward Lu, who had forgotten to salute, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', lowered his head and trembled: "Lu Hong pays homage to the Red Flame Heavenly God." ”
When a group of subordinates not far away heard the sound, they first looked at each other and were stunned, and after they reacted, they all knelt on the ground one after another.
I wanted to come in a low-key manner, and then leave in a low-key manner after sending people off. Now that there are a bunch of people kneeling in front of him, Chi Yan is also quite helpless.
"No need to be polite, let's get up quickly..."
"Thank you, Tenjin!"
(b)
It was late at night, but at this time, the Shangguan Mansion was full of candles.
In the main hall, Chiyan sat on the top, Xing'er stood aside with her head down, and Shangguan Jianfei led dozens of people up and down the mansion to stand respectfully on both sides of the hall.
At this moment, although the huge hall was full of people, it seemed unusually quiet, as if even a needle could be heard clearly.
Forehead... Why do you suddenly feel so embarrassed by this atmosphere? Hey~ It's all to blame for this little girl doll stalking along the way, otherwise, why would I have followed here in a daze.
Thinking of this, Chi Yan held his forehead with a headache, thinking about what reason to find to get away.
Seeing that Chi Yan was sitting without saying a word, Shangguan Jianfei stepped forward apologetically, and said apologetically: "The gods are coming, and my father should have come to meet him." Unfortunately, a few days ago, my father and my mother traveled to the Four Realms. You can't come in person and ask God to forgive your sins. ”
The awkward atmosphere was finally broken. Chi Yan hurriedly waved his hand and answered: "Forgive what a crime, Mr. Shangguan has been exercising his position as an official in the fire world for a hundred years, and now that he has retired, he should accompany the old lady more." ”
I don't want the gods to be so empathetic and reasonable. In this way, Shangguan Jianfei's tense nerves were also relaxed a little.
"The little girl is stubborn, if you offend the gods today, please forgive me. ”
"Nothing... Apricots are lively and cute, and they are very likable. Chi Yan raised his lips and smiled, and winked at Xing'er as he spoke.
When they exchanged polite greetings, I saw a little guy running out of the door. Xu felt that the gods were in control at this time, and he didn't dare to rush forward.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Chi Yan beckoned to him and asked, "That little brother, but you have something to say?"
After speaking, the cadres in the hall looked through the small house outside the door.
"Xiao Mu, what's wrong?" Shangguan Jianfei recognized at a glance that the little guy was his nephew Chengyu's personal attendant.
Xing'er, who had been silent, raised her head suddenly, and asked loudly to the little girl: "Wood, is he Chengyu awake?" Did he tell you that I didn't push him down..."
"Shut up for me!" Shangguan Jianfei had a cold face, turned his head and drank Xing'er.
"Little master, he woke up, but he seemed to be frightened, he was in a trance, and his mouth kept reading... The little girl bit her lip and peeked at Xing'er, and put on an embarrassed appearance that she didn't know how to speak.
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't speak for a long time. Shangguan Jianfei was very anxious, but because Chiyan was here, even if he was anxious, he couldn't afford to lose the amount of courtesy he should have.
"You go outside and wait first. ”
After the order, Shangguan Jianfei reflexively walked to the front, wanting to say that he would settle down Chiyan first, and then go to see Cheng Yu. As everyone knows, before he could speak, Chi Yan took the lead in standing up.
"I heard that Apricot's cousin fell into the pond this morning... It just so happened that I had a calming elixir here. After a pause, he rolled his eyes and raised his hand to signal, "Let's go, I'll go and see how the kid is..."
Although the words are gentle, they also reveal a kind of domineering that cannot be refuted.
Shangguan Jianfei was surprised, would this Chiyan Heavenly God be too enthusiastic. Even if you have doubts in your heart, you still can't refuse the kindness of others.
"Then there is the god of Lao, please here. ”
With a wave of Chi Yan's long sleeves, he walked out with his hands down. It's just that he was just halfway away, but he suddenly stopped, "Xing'er, come with me." ”
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, but soon trotted behind Chi Yan.
The little servant led the three of them to a courtyard gate in a twist and turn.
But before I could go inside, I heard a child's cry inside.
"Woooooo Mother, that Shangguan Yunxing saw that she couldn't beat me, so she pushed me into the pond. If it hadn't been for Luber and the others to save me, I would have drowned in it. Woooooo
Xing'er gritted her teeth, ran into the back room angrily, and retorted loudly: "Xue Chengyu, what are you talking nonsense?! I didn't push you at all, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense!"
Seeing Xing'er suddenly break in, Cheng Yu was startled, and hurriedly hid in Shangguan Linyu's arms, sobbing: "Mother, mother... The child is afraid. ”
"Yu'er is good, there is a mother, Yu'er is not afraid..."
Shangguan Linyu has always been a gentle person, and he hasn't been angry much. But right now, no matter how good your temperament is, you still can't help but count Xing'er: "Xing'er, you two cousins just play around on weekdays." Today's thing is that you have gone too far. ”
"Aunt Yu, I really didn't push him. "Being wronged, Xing'er is naturally unconvinced.
When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately jumped out with half of his head and concluded: "It's you who pushed me!"
"I didn't! Xue Chengyu, you don't talk nonsense there!" Xing'er was in a hurry, and her voice became a lot louder.
Shangguan Jianfei, who followed the door, saw this, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Presumptuous! You have done something wrong, and you dare to speak so loudly to your cousin here!
"Uncle, you have to make decisions for me. Woooooo
"You..." Seeing Cheng Yu pretending to be aggrieved and frightened, Xing'er was even more angry. But just as she wanted to explain again, Chi Yan pulled her behind her.
Then, he put a warm smile on his face, and said gently: "This child's consciousness is indeed still a little trance, otherwise let me take a look." ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Lin Yu looked at Chi Yan with a puzzled face, and then asked Shangguan Jianfei: "Cousin, this is..."
Shangguan Jian flew a few arrow steps, pulled the person on the side of the bed up, and said solemnly: "Lin Yu, this is the Red Flame Heavenly God. ”
It was actually a god, Shangguan Linyu hurriedly lowered his body, and said, "I've seen the Red Flame God." ”
Chi Yan nodded, then raised his eyes to look at Cheng Yu, who was sitting on the bed with a stunned face, and said, "Why don't you retreat to the front hall first, I'll be fine soon." ”
I don't think that the gods will heal my son, it's a blessing from God.
Shangguan Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and said with thanks: "Thank you to the gods." ”
Some people are happy, some people are sad. Cheng Yu saw that his mother was leaving, and his heart became uneasy, "Mother, mother, don't go." ”
Shangguan Lin Yu touched Cheng Yu's head dotingly, and said softly: "Cheng Yu, my mother is outside, you are here to listen to the words of the Chiyan Heavenly God obediently." ”
After that, the two siblings walked out one after the other.
At this time, Xing'er couldn't figure out how the Red Flame God would help Cheng Yu see a doctor. When she looked up, her puzzled gaze fell into a pair of dark eyes.
It was this pair of glances that made her notice a trace of strangeness in Chi Yan's eyes. However, before she could figure it out, she heard Shangguan Jianfei's cold urging outside.
"Xing'er, you are stunned inside, why don't you come out quickly. ”
"Oh..."
(c)
The rain stops, and the moon rises.
The night is quiet, and the insects chirp.
In the inner room, Chi Yan sat on a bamboo chair and sipped tea, looking leisurely. On the bed, Cheng Yu was half-hanging his head, tense his body, and did not dare to relax for a moment.
There was no conversation, and there was no such thing as healing. Chi Yan just sat and didn't say anything, which was enough to make Cheng Yu's heart furry and feel pressured.
After being silent for a long time, Chi Yanfeng's eyes turned, looked at Cheng Yu, and asked lightly, "Your name is Cheng Yu?"
Cheng Yu was stunned, and after a short while, Cai Nuo nodded.
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Chi Yan walked to the edge of the bed, half-leaned down, the corners of his mouth raised an arc of unknown truth, and asked again: "Who am I, I guess you should have heard it just now, right?!"
At first glance, Chi Yan's tone was very calm. But in fact, this soft-spoken rhetorical question made the listener feel a little diametrically opposed.
Yes, it is coercion, an invisible coercion that naturally emanates from the inside out.
Cheng Yu trembled and didn't dare to raise his head. After swallowing his saliva a few times, he replied like a mosquito and a fly: "Cheng Yu heard it, you are the Red Flame Heavenly God..."
"Hmm..."Chi Yan nodded with satisfaction, then straightened up with his hands and continued, "I just heard from you that it was Xing'er who pushed you into the pond this morning?"
"No... That's right... Be... She pushed it..."Cheng Yu replied very weakly, and his little hands also pinched the futon tightly.
It's time for this kid to hold on. Not bad, not bad!!
secretly 'approves', and a hint of thief light suddenly crossed his eyes. Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and decided to take another dose of fierce medicine.
"Cheng Yu, I see that you are talking at this time, and your forehead is sweating, as if you haven't fully woken up. So this memory, I'm afraid there is a deviation. ”
As he spoke, Chi Yan conjured up a few sharp silver needles in his palm, and said seriously: "It's better to do this, this heavenly god will apply a few needles on the Baihui acupoint above your head." I promise, you'll be alive all at once. ”
