Chapter 50 Lanterns III

Zhang Hatshui made a few dishes by himself, leaving Bai Shisan and the others to have lunch, and he held a raw bud rice and nibbled sweetly while talking and laughing.

"Aren't you hungry and unwilling to swallow?" Bai Thirteen looked at Zhang Hatshui, who was full of bitterness and hatred, and quipped.

After hearing this, Zhang Hatshui threw the bud rice on the stone table angrily, and the old man and the girl in Tsing Yi gently put down the chopsticks they were holding, and looked at him calmly.

"What do you know? This is called bittersweet memories!" Zhang Hatshui smiled flatteringly at the big man in the temple, and picked up the half-nibbled bud on the table and chewed it.

Hua Yingying was silent, but Lian'er and Sun Ling'er covered their mouths and snickered.

Mo Nian looked at Zhang Hatshui's appearance, and sneered unscrupulously: "There is no tree in the world, only one thing descends one thing. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi always clamped the dishes in front of her, put them in her mouth and chewed them carefully, and sat upright with the dishes and chopsticks.

This can't help but make Bai Shisangao take a look, although this girl is a little arrogant and domineering, but the rules and upbringing in her bones are from the inside out, not that a big family can't teach her.

The girl in Tsing Yi swallowed the food in her mouth, turned her head to look at Zhang Hatshui, and said calmly: "He came from a miserable background, and he refused to swallow anything if he didn't eat well." People are nothing by themselves, and the more they talk about what they have. ”

Zhang Hatshui was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smash his mouth, and didn't deny it. With this woman, I really can't hide my thoughts at all.

"Let's eat, and practice calligraphy for an hour after dinner. The girl said lightly.

"Whath, nothing ......" Zhang Hatshui exclaimed, you must know that the practice of the girl is on the fine steel plate, holding a brush made of high iron and iron to copy the Tao Te Ching.

As soon as he wanted to protest, he was killed by a look from the girl, and I am afraid that it will take more time to say more.

Huasheng ate all three bowls of rice, perhaps feeling that he couldn't get away with it, so he secretly slapped Zhang Hatshui with his elbow and whispered: "Hating Shui, don't blink if you are kidnapped." ”

Zhang Hatshui was overjoyed, and when he stared at Huasheng for half a cup of tea, he couldn't help blinking.

"Oh, since Brother Hate Water is willing to stay here, then I can't say anything, eat and eat. Hua Sheng smiled at everyone, and ran to Tian shamelessly added white rice as full as a small basin.

Zhang Hatshui's smile froze on his face, and he stared at Huasheng through gritted teeth, always feeling that he was playing word games with himself.

"Mo boy, do I have the gossip mirror I gave you?" Old Dao Boqian was full of wine and food, the back of his neck was resting on his hands, and his body was slumped on the stone chair crookedly.

Mo Nian wiped his mouth, took off the satchel sewn from rags on his body, and took out an eight-sided sandalwood-framed mirror from inside, which was ordinary, that is, the round mirror embedded in the center of the sandalwood was surrounded by obscure vermilion runes.

"Every day at noon, I would listen to Mr. Bo and hang the mirror around my neck to bask in the sun for a while. Mo Nian said truthfully, and the mirror was handed to Boqian.

The girl in Tsing Yi glanced at the gossip mirror, her face was a little unnatural, and she turned her head to look at Bo Qian Lao Dao with a puzzled look.

Lao Dao shook his head and said, "This is for you, but you also have to fulfill the agreement, let me see your burning stick." ”

Mo Nian struggled inwardly, and was afraid that Bo Qian would take it away, after all, it was the only relic his father left him.

It is said to be a burning stick, but it is actually a black iron lump about four feet long and flattened.

"Just to show you. Mo Nian reluctantly untied the belt from his waist, pulled out the iron lump that was close to his body, and handed it to Bo Qian.

Bo Qian smiled happily, and the burning stick he took was cold, and he stretched out two fingers and tapped it gently, making a crisp sound.

Hua Sheng drank some wine, looked at the novelty of the burning stick, and snatched it from Lao Dao's hand, just holding it in his hand was cold and stabbing his body, and after shivering, he felt that there was no novelty and returned it to Mo Nian.

It's also a coincidence, the thatched hut that Bai Thirteen stored is next door to Bo Qian and the girl in Tsing Yi, and there is a low wall with a missing corner in the middle.

Let Bai Shisan arrange Hua Yingying's three daughters here, I always feel a little unsure.

As for the original owners of this thatched house, the Zhong family father and son, Bai Shisan couldn't really ask for their house and let the two live on the streets, so he absorbed them into the Golden Jade Flower Workshop that night.

Washington's two shops need to be guarded, and Zhong Lie, who has practiced martial arts, is the most suitable candidate.

"Miss Hua, it's better for Ling Zun's body to be buried as soon as possible. After lunch, Bai Shisan took Mo Nian and the others to the thatched hut, and after cleaning up, he asked Hua Yingying to come out for a detailed discussion.

Not only Hua Wuxing's corpse, but also Sun Yu's corpse are all staying in the Chengwei Mansion, almost half a month ago.

"In Chengwei Mansion, isn't it in Washington, what does the Ning family want to do!?" Hua Yingying has always remembered Bai Shisan's advice in her heart since she woke up, that is, not to break the temple.

She also knew in her heart that she was the only one left in Washington, and if she had any accidents, she would really be doomed.

No matter how much she was worried about her parents' bodies, she didn't dare to act rashly.

Bai Shisan shook his head, his eyes shrank suddenly, and now he understood why Ning Ke was so calm, and why the city guards didn't stop them when they left the city.

It turned out to be this abacus, and the immediate family members were required to receive the body, and Hualong Huahu had already been killed by the disaster on the night Yang Bo sneaked into Washington.

Ningke doesn't need to be searched and arrested at all, so as not to make too much noise and make the people criticize.

He just needs to wait for Hua Yingying to deliver it to the door by himself.

"When the Lantern Festival is over, I will call Zhang Hatshui and Zheng Tianyun to go to the Chengwei Mansion in person to bring back Ling Zun's body. Bai 13 said reassuringly.

Hua Yingying looked at Bai Shisan with teary eyes and did not speak.

Seeing that it is almost afternoon, the evening is the time when the Lantern Festival is lively and the major green buildings are open for fun.

Bai Thirteen climbed over the wall, Hua Sheng drank some wine, and fell asleep until now.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Zhang Hatshui beating her shoulder for her behind the girl.

The girl sneered, and said in a sissy voice in the court: "Nothing to do, let's say, what's the matter?"

Zhang Hatshui smiled, the strength in his hand did not decrease, and said softly: "I want to participate in a lantern festival with my brother." ”

"Oh, what lantern festival?" the girl raised her eyes, interested.

Zhang Hatshui took a breath and said thoughtfully: "Down to the duckweed wanderer, up to the literati, to the cultural exchange meeting of talented and beautiful people." ”

The girl pulled Zhang Hatshui over, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "Zhang Hatshui, you used all your intelligence to deceive me, right?

Zhang Hatshui was anxious when he heard this, and he stepped back a little, straightened his waist and was full of anger.

"What is prostitution.... Ahem, although you are my senior sister, if you misunderstand me like this, I can still sue you for slander. ”

Smack.

Bai Shisan climbed over the wall and landed, kicked up a small burst of dust, raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him in embarrassment, and chose to ignore it directly.

Entering the inner room, Boqian Lao Dao was boiling ginger soup for Huasheng by the stove, and Huasheng's sneezing could be heard from the hall.

Bai 13 greeted Lao Dao, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw Huasheng wrapped in two quilts, trembling on the kang.

"It's really fucking weird, Lao Tzu is practicing all over his body, and he hasn't felt taken a risk since he became a big man. Hua Sheng shivered, and his speech was already a little unfavorable.

Bai Shisan looked at him like this, and it was estimated that there was no way to go to Huayulou with him to investigate the dismemberment case.

sat down and chatted with Hua Sheng for a few words, and then this bloody Henglian everyone fell asleep, and his face was as hot as a stove.

Lao Dao entered the house with ginger soup, muttering something in his mouth, in Bai Shisan's opinion, there was a lot of schadenfreude.

Hua Yulou's demonic strength is not clear, if it was just Bai Shisan's person who rushed forward, he would have no bottom in his heart. Zhang Hatshui, who was originally ignored by him, became his savior.

Hurried to the courtyard, and found that the girl in Tsing Yi had a sword sealed on Zhang Hatshui's throat, and her face was angry.

"So, you have to go to the land of smoke and willows today?"

Zhang Hatshui raised his hands above his head, and begged for help with Bai Thirteen's eyes at the door, shouting in his mouth that he was wronged.

"We are drunkards, not drinking, to investigate the case. You can do it, those two scholars can't die in vain, the old mother at home is still waiting for our news. ”

Bai Shisan coughed lightly a few times and echoed: "Yes, everyone knows what kind of virtue the Chengwei Mansion is. thought that finding a few death row prisoners and cutting off their heads would stabilize the people's hearts, but the demons always exist in the city, and the symptoms are not cured. If we who know the information don't investigate, I am afraid that we will have to increase the number of casualties in vain. ”

The girl's eyes dodged, and finally accepted Qingfeng.

She stood at the door, looking at Zhang Hatshui and the others who were winding down the stone steps of the mountain road, a little bored.

"The Confucian Temple has always been a word, Zhang Hatshui, you dare to break your word!"

Boqian slowly walked up to the girl and said with a smile: "Do you have a sense of crisis?"

The girl tilted her head and said disdainfully: "Just a dusty woman, wait... What do you mean, old man?"

"It's not interesting. Old Dao Boqian took a bronze mirror, reached out and touched the stubble on his face, pretended not to see the blush on the girl's face, and said to himself: "It's ugly." ”

"It didn't look good before. "The girl is very vindictive, and she successfully rebelled against the army.

On this day, the number of guards along the mountain castle has increased a lot, and because of the name laid by the Oiran, ten years later, the talented and beautiful people of the surrounding cities will also come to see the lantern scenery along the mountain.

Several extravagant carriages passed in front of them, and the horses were strong enough to fit four people.

Bai Shisan and Zhang Hatshui walked along the ruts of the carriage, and the most striking thing was the silver-white carriage, which was actually pulled by a subspecies of spirits, like a unicorn.

Zhang Hatshui pointed to the main owner who got off the carriage and explained: "Look, the big man from Qingdu. ”

"Fucheng Qingdu? It's just a lantern festival held by the people, and it actually attracted Miss Gongzi from Fucheng. Bai Thirteen was surprised.

"Isn't it thanks to the infatuated old city lord, who every year comes to hunt for curiosities when he has nothing to do. Zhang Hatshui smacked his lips, glanced at the thousands of charms on the street, and swallowed a handful of saliva fiercely.
