Chapter 39 Blame at every turn
"Nuxiong!" Mr. Bai shouted in embarrassment, and at the same time walked over to the two, wanting to be a peacemaker and separate them.
Gongsun Shengyan is young and vigorous, if the words just now came from Mr. Bai's mouth, it is a matter of course, he will naturally pack up his things and leave convincingly, but this Nu Xiong can't get along with himself twice or three times, at first he inquired about his own affairs, and then found someone to test him, and finally he actually intensified his efforts to drive himself away, which is really unbearable. So he insisted on not backing down, completely ignoring what would happen next.
Nu Xiong laughed weirdly, and then slowly opened his mouth in front of Gongsun Shengyan, who saw a blood-red centipede coming out of Nu Xiong's throat, as thick as two fingers of an adult, longer than a slap. The centipede crawled over Nuxiong's slightly blue tongue and shrunken gums, and he saw that the centipede had two pairs of dragonfly-like wings on its back, but the length of the wings was much shorter.
The blood-red centipede flew in front of Gongsun Shengyan's eyes unquickly and slowly, flapping its wings and hovering in the air without making any other movements. Gongsun Shengyan felt an inexplicably strong pressure, this feeling had never been felt before, even when he was chased and fled by the living corpse, he didn't even be able to move his feet like now.
"My natal Gu, no one has seen it for almost thirty years. Gongsun Gongzi, this is your blessing. Nuxiong said proudly.
"Oops, oops. Mr. Bai anxiously inserted himself between the two of them, and pushed and persuaded Gongsun Shengyan to the side, "You are really stunned, and you still don't apologize to Mr. Nuxiong." ”
Gongsun Shengyan was pushed backwards by Mr. Bai, and Nu Xiong followed without giving an inch, but the centipede was still flying in front of him, leaving only a place for Mr. Bai to stand between the two.
Gongsun Shengyan didn't speak, but his eyes began to soften.
Nu Xiong seemed to inadvertently stretched out his hand and patted Gongsun Shengyan on the shoulder, took back his natal Gu, and said generously: "Forget it, hairy young man, I can't help but scare." If you really want to deal with you, you still need to use your natal Gu?"
Mr. Bai was so anxious that his back was wet, and when he heard Nu Xiong say this, his heart relaxed.
Gongsun Shengyan was pressed over, and although Nu Xiong didn't mind, the content was still aggressive. He also knew that he couldn't fight Nu Xiong, and there was no chance at all.
"Mr. Bai, I'll go back to the room first. Gongsun Shengyan said, turned around and left.
"Remember what I said. Nuxiong was still smiling behind him, defiant.
"You are old, and you are fighting with a child, and I admire it from the bottom of my heart. Seeing that Gongsun Shengyan was gone, Mr. Bai shook his head and said to Nu Xiong.
"As you saw earlier, this guy's neck is straighter than a tree stump. If you don't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know how high the sky is. Nuxiong saw his servants come in and clean up the room, sat back in his chair, and said.
"Huh?" Mr. Bai suddenly understood, and looked at Nuxiong, as if surprised, in fact, asking.
"Yes, there is no difference between planting a Gu for him and killing a dead chicken. Nu Xiong smiled secretly, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, I just gave him a mark, there is no harm to him, only good, now the Taoist priests in the world and the Miao people in Qingteng Village know him." ”
"Alas," Mr. Bai sighed more times during this time than in the previous ten years combined, "you take a good measure, what else can I say." ”
Gongsun Shengyan returned to the room and quickly packed his luggage. When he escaped from Jiangnan, he didn't bring anything with him, only Bingliang gave some silver money when he left, and then during this time, he asked Puren to make a few sets of clothes, which were bundled up as a cloth bag smaller than a pumpkin.
The trip to the Bai family in Yunnan ended with such an ending, which Gongsun Shengyan did not expect. Mr. Bai is still very polite, but this Nuxiong, no matter how you look at it, is annoying. Gongsun Shengyan wanted to say hello to Mr. Bai before saying goodbye, but because of Nuxiong's presence, he didn't know when he would leave, so he had to lie on the bed and count his fingers to stay up, thinking that he would simply return to Jiangnan directly after leaving the Bai family. Mr. Zhou should be able to understand his decision to go back to Jiangnan, his cousin Gongsun Shengqiu doesn't know if he worked hard with Wang Zhutou to catch the real murderer. He lay thinking nonsense, and soon fell asleep.
Nuxiong didn't actually talk to Mr. Bai for too long. After listening to Nu Xiong's explanation that the previous slap on Gongsun Shengyan's shoulder would not have any effect on his body, Mr. Bai no longer insisted that Nu Xiong wipe off the mark. After all, not everyone can have the opportunity to collide with Miao Zhai Dawu like this and live well, Gongsun Shengyan is new to the rivers and lakes, and if he does not pay due respect, he will get the lesson he deserves, he understands this truth, and the corresponding face should also be kept for Nu Xiong. Through Nu Xiong's introduction, Mr. Bai learned that the old Taoist Cao Ding who came today turned out to be the head of the Hidden Immortal Sect in Western Yunnan. This Western Yunnan Hidden Immortal Sect did not have much communication with the Central Plains Jiangnan, but the ancestor who founded the sect did travel here from the Central Plains, and saw that Yunnan medicinal materials were rich and varied, and there were no sect disputes, so it was advisable to concentrate on refining the body, so he never went back.
"Then what is the strength of this Hidden Immortal Sect, how could it be bounced straight to the wall by Gongsun Shengyan like that?" Mr. Bai was puzzled in his heart.
"Cao Ding's cultivation, compared to the great power, is of course not worth mentioning. What he is best at is the technique of medicinal stones, the mountain character vein technique that opens and closes, and he only knows a little about fur. Coincidentally, in the matter of Gongsun Shengyan, I can only ask Cao Ding, who is a medical character, to see, the medical character is careful and steady, and the spirit is accurate, if it is a Taoist who changes to the mountain character vein, it is either a spell to trap Gongsun Shengyan, or Gongsun Shengyan is swallowed and lost. ”
"So, you can rest assured that Gongsun Shengyan is gone, right? Mr. Bai asked again.
"Mr. Bai, there is nothing in the world that can be completely assured, just obey God. ”
Seeing off Nuxiong, Mr. Bai felt that he had finally let go of a matter in his heart. When I came back, I saw my daughter's personal maid Xia Qiu passing by with me, and Xia Qiu said hello respectfully after getting closer.
Mr. Bai snorted, and then asked about Bai Lang's situation. Xia Qiu said that Miss had a big temper in the past two days, and her mood was not good, and she often stared at the paintings alone in a daze. Mr. Bai felt distressed when he heard this, and heard that Bai Lang hadn't slept yet, so he wanted to go over and comfort him, young people, it's normal to be impatient, but how can there be a hurdle in this world that can't be crossed.
Sure enough, the lights were still on in Bai Lang's room, Mr. Bai knocked on the door, but no one made a sound inside, he continued to knock twice, but there was still no response. Knowing that his daughter was still angry with him, Mr. Bai shook his head with a sneer, pushed the door and walked in directly.
The lampstand was placed on the table, Bai Lang sat at the table, there was an unfinished painting on the table, and the paintbrush was lying aside, looking as if the pen was about to dry. Mr. Bai gently pulled out the empty stool beside Bai Lang, sat down and looked at his daughter, who was full of worries, and opened his mouth to say, "Do you hate Daddy?"
Bai Lang turned his head over, didn't look at Mr. Bai, and didn't answer.
"Su Gongzi is not an ordinary person, if you like him, there will be no results. Mr. Bai persuaded earnestly.
"Why is he not an ordinary person?" Bai Lang asked rhetorically.
When Mr. Bai saw that his daughter answered, he made up another nonsense that Bingliang had made up about Gongsun Shengyan before, and added fuel and vinegar to say how there were twists and turns on the road when he came, and how Nu Xiong commented on Gongsun Shengyan's badness, Bai Lang didn't interject, just listened quietly. Mr. Bai was worried that his daughter would not be able to accept the ghosts and gods, so he deliberately concealed the pattern behind Gongsun Shengyan and the siege of living corpses, and did not mention Mr. Zhou's name.
"Understood? This kind of person is not in the same circle as us ordinary people. Mr. Bai summed it up after speaking.
"But what does it have to do with whether I like him or not? He can draw, he talks well, he speaks politely, I just like him. Bai Lang whispered.
"And does he like you?"
Bai Lang stopped talking.
"You don't know, he has a good friend in Jiangnan. It's a good kind of good. Mr. Bai didn't know how good Gongsun Shengyan and Zhou Xue were, but he just shouted when Gongsun Shengyan sent Bingliang away, and suddenly remembered at this time, so he pushed Zhou Xue out under the pretext.
"And Su Gongzi is leaving, leaving our Bai family. Seeing that Bai Lang was still silent, Mr. Bai continued.
"Where is he going?" Bai Lang asked anxiously, leaning forward unconsciously.
"Go back to Jiangnan, find a good person to get married. He can't live in our Bai family for the rest of his life, he will go back when he recovers. ”
Bai Lang's face sank after hearing this, and he lay on the table sullenly and said, "Dad, I'm tired and want to rest." Let's go. ”
When Gongsun Shengyan woke up, it was already dawn, he came back to his senses, got up to wash up, and felt that the temperature on the bed had almost dissipated, so he carefully folded the quilt and put it on the box next to the bed, and moved the pillow to prepare to put it over, so that it would be more convenient for the next person to clean it up again. Picking up the pillow, Gongsun Shengyan found that the position under the sheet was a little hard, so he opened it and saw an envelope under the sheet, and the envelope was written in Juanxiu's font with the words "Su Gongzi personally opened". Gongsun Shengyan opened the envelope, which contained a piece of stationery, and the content was only two sentences: "Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, and Yunnan is close at hand." Gongsun Shengyan didn't understand what it meant, picked up the envelope and shook it down, and a small jade pendant fell out, this pendant looked very good, snow-white as fat and oily all over, carved into a simple key. He took the pendant and checked it in his hand, guessing that it should have been sent by Bai Lang, because although he had lived in the Bai family for so long, he hadn't spoken to a few people, so it couldn't be that Puren took advantage of his inattention to stuff it under the pillow.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gongsun Shengyan decided to take the things away, he was going to leave anyway, if he took the things and returned them to Bai Lang, he didn't say anything about it, in case she insisted that she didn't send it herself, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth. It's just that he really didn't know when the things were put in, and he never looked closely under the pillow. After everything was cleaned up, Gongsun Shengyan put the burden on his back and walked towards Mr. Bai's room.
