Chapter 48 Lanterns I

Half a month flies by, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.

There was a heavy rain along the mountain city, the bluestone slab reflected the moonlight shining into the mountain city, and Bai Shisan walked in the long and lonely alley with a paper umbrella.

The roof of the broken temple near the outer city is always incomplete, and Mo Nian is always busy when it rains. Lian'er and Sun Ling'er were drenched in soup, and the girl who threatened to make Mo Nian look good was accompanying Hua Yingying.

After a series of changes, Hua Yingying's nerves became extremely sensitive and fragile, and the rumbling thunder turned the ancient temple white.

Lian'er shrank in a corner where she could shelter from the rain, and Hua Yingying shrank in Lian'er's arms.

Crunch –

The outside door was opened, and the people in the temple stopped and looked out of the courtyard.

"I'm back. Bai Thirteen's moire boots were soaked, shaking the mud and rain on the stone steps outside the threshold, and the robes on his body were splashed with mud spots.

Originally, he wanted to collect the umbrella, but when he saw that the roof leak in the main hall happened to rain overnight, he still decided to go in with an umbrella.

"Brother Thirteen, are you entering the mountain?" Mo Nian straightened his ragged linen bandana, wiped the dirt on his hand at will, and looked at Bai Thirteen's embarrassment.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this rich man just doesn't know how to take care of clothes, he can change the clothes of a dozen roast chickens in a restaurant, and he was actually made like this by Bai Shisan.

"I went to the outer city and picked up a set of thatched huts for nothing. Bai Shisan said lightly, throwing the burden on his shoulders to Mo Nian, his eyes kept glancing in the room, and he inadvertently looked at Sun Ling'er, who was blind, and actually nodded towards herself.

"This is the clothes I brought for you, and Mo Nian, don't you really consider worshipping a master for Ling'er? ”

As soon as the words came out, Sun Ling'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, I don't want a master." ”

Mo Nian found his clothes in the baggage thrown by Bai Shisan, and he still had a cold bun in his mouth that he didn't know where it came from, and he didn't bite it for a long time.

He slurred his words: "Yes, yes, Ling'er doesn't need a master, when I become a hero, she will be the third in the world if she sits still." ”

Bai Thirteen was depressed, and wanted to mock him. As a result, when the words came to his lips, they became: "Why?"

When Mo Nian heard this, he patted his chest, as if it was true.

"I'm the second in the world, and my wife is the first in the world, as for Ling'er. When I can block a million divisions with one sword, I said that she is the third in the world, who dares to deny her?"

Mo Nian raised his eyebrows at Bai Thirteen, and gestured with a lame sword finger.

"Alas......" Bai Shisan sighed, asked Sun Ling'er where Hua Yingying was, and left without looking back.

Mo Nian was stunned for a moment, he looked at Bai Thirteen's back and smashed out the bun in his mouth that was more than a stone, and said angrily: "Bai Thirteen, what do you mean!"

Closing the door, Bai Shisan was a little overwhelmed in the face of Hua Yingying's hot eyes like a lamp in the night.

"Come on, I know that Miss is waiting for you. ”

Hua Yingying took her head away from Lian'er's shoulder, as if she had been resting on the pillow for too long, and the light-colored ribbon that bound Lian'er's hair stuck to her face.

"I didn't know it was going to be like this. Hua Yingying's body was weak, looking at Lian'er's scattered hair, she innocently took the ribbon off her face, and there was a clear mark on her cheek.

Hua Yingying, who was originally low-minded, was stupidly laughed at by her own scene, like a sick falling flower.

Bai Thirteen couldn't laugh, because Lian'er had secretly waved her fist to warn her when she went out.

Mo Nian, who was outside the door, was holding the eight-sided wooden-framed bronze mirror left by Bo Qian in his hand, humming a small tune in his mouth, it was the first time he had worn such magnificent clothes, and he was in a good mood.

"Yo, kicked out?"

Lian'er's face stiffened, and Sun Ling'er pulled the corner of La Mo Nian's clothes and asked him to leave a way for himself to live.

Mo Nian was confused, picked out a colorful dress from the baggage, hesitantly threw it to Lian'er, and blurted out: "This is tender, it's not easy to see through, the tone of your velvet inside is too heavy." ”

Lian'er smiled: "You know a lot?" Then she picked up her personal maid token and threw it towards Mo Nian's face, and Mo Nian was tricked.

"Why are you throwing me?!" Mo Nian covered the corners of his eyes, grinning in pain.

Lian'er shrugged her shoulders and rushed out like a wild cat.

"Death to the master!"

Bai Thirteen inside heard Mo Nian's screams and took the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere directly with Hua Yingying.

"Why don't I go out and have a look?" Bai Shisan tilted his head, wanting to turn around and run away, as for the matter of the medical hall, he planned to let Lian'er tell him on his behalf.

Seeing that Hua Yingying didn't speak, Bai Shisan breathed a sigh of relief, but only a few steps out of the country was entangled by a fragrant wind, and the girl who had experienced the ups and downs cried with pear blossoms and rain, begging him to stay.

"Brother Bai, tonight, will you accompany me?" Hua Yingying hugged Bai Thirteen's waist behind her back, and her body twisted as if she wanted to rub Bai Thirteen into her body.

"What... What?" Bai Shisan felt the heat of the person behind him, and his mouth was a little dry, but reason told him not to take advantage of people's danger, let alone let Hua Yingying do something impulsive at this juncture.

Faced with Bai Shisan's pretending to be stupid, Hua Yingying was ashamed and angry, how could she ever show such a demeanor to a man who had never even given her a name?

"I said let you stay with me! please......" Hua Yingying's voice rose a little, and then withered, like a wounded little animal, begging.

The wooden door that was nothing but a virtual one was rattled by the wind passing through the hall, and Mo Nian and Lian'er both stopped and looked over there in a daze.

Mo Nian, who was hit in the eye by Lian'er, didn't cry, Mo Nian, who was bullied and suffered in the world, didn't cry, and when she heard the girl she liked for seventeen years say that she wanted another man to accompany her, Mo Nian cried.

Squatting at the door and crying undisguisedly.

"Brother Mo Nian......" Sun Ling'er's heart tightened, she was more afraid that Hua Yingying would not like Mo Nian on the tip of her heart than if she was wronged.

Lian'er took Sun Ling'er's hand, shook her head and said, "Let him cry for a while, it's not good to hold it for too long." ”

The rain stopped in the second half of the night, and the dark clouds half-hid the surprisingly bright and round moon, and the spilled light was washed clean.

Hua Yingying leaned on Bai Thirteen's shoulder, looking at the moon in the sky, and at one moment she spoke: "Thirteen, what do you say is the most comfortable relationship between the two?"

"It should be, the two of them can never talk to each other, or they can talk at any time. Bai Thirteen thought for a while and said.

After hearing this, Hua Yingying raised her head, looked at Bai Thirteen's expressionless face, and said in frustration: "What are you talking about liking each other, unrequited love?"

"I don't know, what do you think?"

"I think it's most comfortable to be around someone, whether I like him or not. ”

Bai Shisan shrunk his shoulders, and only after a haha did he break up the ambiguous atmosphere, and said: "I have something to tell you, the people of the Ning family are looking for you, and the performance of Washington's industries is growing steadily, and I also took it upon myself to settle in the Washington Hospital." If you continue like this, you will be able to scrape together the money that can send you to another city in a few months. ”

Hua Yingying raised her head, her eyes were full of brilliance, and asked, "Uncle, what about them?"

"The dust has settled on the side of the Sun Mansion, but fortunately, the head of the Sun family is kind and has a popular base. Just gave up thirty percent of the business, and let the Ning family rein. Despite this, the Sun family lost not only the thirty percent business, but also the Ning family's protection of the trade routes. I think so, persuade them to go to Fucheng to develop, and it is best for you to go too, so that they can take care of each other.

I mentioned it to Commander Sun Wu, but it seems that the head of Sun An's family disagrees, and it makes no sense that the inheritance of the ancestors cannot be kept in his own hands, and he has to flee like a lost dog. But you must leave, Ning Ke has no right mind about you, and even Sun Mansion can't protect you if you stay. ”

Hua Yingying responded absentmindedly, looked at Bai Shisan and said, "Are you leaving?"

Bai Shisan smiled, stretched out his hand and smoothed Shunhua's long hair, and said truthfully.

"I'll have to leave sooner or later, but I'll have to raise enough money for you to be able to live in another city, or reopen a storefront. ”

"Uncle will give me these, Brother Bai, you don't have to do this, I really don't need you to do this. If you stay in the mountain city for one more day, it will give Ningke more opportunities to do something to you, so let's go with me. ”

Bai 13 pushed away the green onion that Hua Yingying shook his arm, and his face was serious.

"This is what I gave you, and it has nothing to do with the Sun Mansion. If you hadn't saved me that day, I'd have died in the snow. Now that Washington is in decline, I have to do something for you. ”

"Do we have to be so clear between the two of us? After all, it's not for the sake of your heart. If you really don't want to go, you married me. ”

Bai Shisan was silent, and asked thoughtlessly, "Where is Xiaohui?"

This sentence made Hua Yingying's heart die, even if she was not as good as before, as a woman, she should not be so humble.

She wiped her tears and said with a wry smile: "Bai Thirteen, you are really ungraceful, can you not say such things that shame girls at such a time?"

"She's gone, and I've got her to wrap up. ”

"You!"

Bai Shisan sighed, he didn't have to think about it to know why Hua Yingying did this. He was afraid that Xiaohui, who had never even been out of Fulu Street, would be able to find a place to go in the north of Nuoda. Empty of money but alone, in this world where bandits are rampant and secrets are everywhere, it is tantamount to a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

"Sad?"

"Not really. ”

"It's terrible. ”

It was late, Bai Shisan withdrew from Hua Yingying's room, and when he went out, he put on Mo Nian, who was crying and red-eyed, and Lian'er behind him held a rainwater-soaked wooden stick in his hand and beat it on his palm.

"What are you doing?

"Bai Thirteen, you bastard!" Mo Nian roared, grabbed Bai Thirteen's neck and said angrily: "Why are you?!Why are you?!Do you know that the walls are not soundproof, do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to guard the girl I like outside and have an ambiguous relationship with you in the house?

"Ling'er has suffered with you for so many years, and she has already repaid the kindness you gave her! Why don't you accept her feelings for you?

Mo Nian looked at Sun Ling'er as if she had lost her soul, wanting to explain something, and finally just whispered: "I don't feel that catering to her hot emotions is not matched." ”

"So, liking is liking, and disliking must be made clear. Mo Nian, you did this, and so did I. ”
