The head of Longbaozhai did not drink much, and when he was eating, many people persuaded each other, drank a little higher, and were a little tired, and did not wait for the official sacrificial ceremony to end, and said to the witch Zhen beside him: "Wuzi, the moon sacrifice in Longbaokeng, it is the woman who is in charge, and let them handle it." Why don't we go and drink tea by ourselves. ”

Shui Rong and Wu Zhen greeted the few elders sitting nearby, got up, and left the front yard and came to the back yard by the bright moonlight.

When Shui Min saw the two of them leaving, he had already followed, and he had already gone to the front of them, lit a wolf oil lamp, handed it to Shui Rong, and then asked them what they needed, and Shui Rong said to have some tea, and he didn't need anything else, and the location was in the small guest room.

With the lantern in front of them, the two entered a small guest room in the middle of the back row of houses in the whole village.

Wu Zhen saw that this guest room was more elaborate than other rooms she had entered, the central tables were pentagonal, and the workmanship was very elegant, and the cushions around it were not the most common bamboo mats here, but a kind of green rattan mat.

Wu Zhen smelled a faint musty smell in the room and said, "This place is clean." ”

"This is a place where a few elders in our Longbao Pit specialize in talking about things, and it's usually not very useful. I opened the windows wider. ”

After a while, the diligent water man brought a pot of tea and two beautiful tea sets, and these two idle people sat down.

Shui Min added tea and was about to leave, Shui Rong said: "Brother Min, sit down and flush the mouth shell together." ”

"I still go outside to see the excitement. You talk slowly. Shuimin laughed.

"Then you don't have to worry about us. ”

Shui and Wu chatted while drinking tea.

Shui Rong is an idle, leisurely, and easy-going person, which is similar to Wu Zhen, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they have a friendship that has nothing to say.

During this time, they often chatted together, and the main content of the chat was that Wu Zhen told Shui Rong about external affairs, such as the affairs of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Xia, Shang, and Zhou, as well as the affairs of the vassal states, especially the Chu State, and so on; The main thing is that Wu Zhen speaks, and the water melts and listens.

After talking for a while, Shui Rong said: "Mr. Erudite, I still have a treasure, I want to ask Wuzi to take a look." Wu Zhen nodded.

The water melted and opened a wooden door in the small guest room. Wu Zhen also noticed this door at first, thinking that it was going to the back of the stockade, and only then did she realize that there was another room inside.

The water melted the lantern into the inner room, and after a while, it came out with a small box in his hand. The small box is made of mahogany, which is beautiful.

Wu Zhen wanted to get up, and Shui Rong said, "You can sit at will." ”

Shui Rong still sat down opposite Wu Zhen, opened the box, took out an ancient-looking bamboo slip with a text pattern on it, and handed it to Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen held the bamboo slip with both hands, looked at it carefully, the text was unique, and said: "I don't know a word." Where did this come from?"

Shui Rong said: "This one thing is strange to say. More than 30 years ago, a group of people came in from nowhere, a total of 11 people, all of them with special skills; among them there was a woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, who was the leader, and there was a man in the lead, in his twenties, the two of them attracted special attention, the man was tall and handsome, dashing and dignified, and his bearing was extraordinary, and the woman was graceful and very beautiful, like a fairy.

When they came to Longbao Village, they were very polite, ordered some fruits, meat, stayed for one night, and left on the second day, saying that they were looking for a fairy realm. I was young at the time, and I secretly looked at the woman, and she was so beautiful that I couldn't tell it.

"On the third day after the group left, I went to the woman's room and smelled the incense she used, and the aftertaste was sweet and refreshing. By the way, I cleaned up my room and stumbled upon a small piece of book under my pillow.

"I don't read, I can't recognize the words and pictures on the bamboo slips, so I guess the woman knows the words on the bamboo slips. If it was important, she would definitely come back to get it. Because it is an object left by the woman, I cherish it very much, and I collect it carefully, and take it from time to time. ”

Wu Zhen listened, occasionally glancing at the bamboo slip in her hand.

"Later, I drew a picture of the woman on a piece of wood, and it was only about the same as herself, and it was hidden with the book. After that, I never saw the woman and the group again. ”

Wu Zhen sighed: "It is common for immortals to come without a shadow and go without a trace. ”

What the witch said, he suddenly explained. "

"If it's convenient, may I see the woman's portrait?"

Saying "Wait a minute", Shui Rong got up again, entered the room again, and took out a piece of wood.

Wu Zhen had already put the bamboo slice in his hand on the coffee table, saw the water melt out, got up, approached the wood chip, looked at it, and said: "It is indeed very beautiful, and the painting skills are not bad, I don't know that the water brother can paint, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Shui Rong smiled: "I can't draw. I am a potter, and I often draw some patterns of flowers, birds, insects, and fish on the embryo, so I can draw a few simple strokes. ”

"Touching the class is bypassed, and it is also rare. ”

Wu Zhen looked at the portrait carefully, as if she had seen it somewhere, and said to herself: "This is purely impossible. ”

Shui Rong said: "Other people don't know about this. ”

After a few more days of gossip about the north and south of the sea, Wu Zhen saw Shui Rong yawn twice, and said, "Brother Shui, let's rest, let's talk tomorrow." ”

"Good. Tonight, the little ones will play all the way until the moon sets, and you will go to rest early, but I am afraid that you will not be able to sleep. ”

The two went out of the guest room, parted ways, and returned to their rooms.

Wu Zhen entered her room, but saw that Mrs. had not returned, so she turned around and came out, and saw that except for the young people, the old people had already dispersed, and thought: "Mrs. must be playing with Sister Shui." It's better to take advantage of this good moonlight and go to the bamboo stream for a walk. ”

Wu Zhen had just approached the gate of the stockade when he saw Wu Cheng drunken passing by him, apparently not noticing that this man was his father.

Wu Zhen shouted, "Where to go!"

"I'll go to sleep. Wu Cheng saw that it was his father and replied.

"Fart, sleeping outside the stockade?"

Wu Cheng smiled: "It's a mistake." He turned and walked away.

It turned out that the more cranky Wucheng was, the more bored he became, he felt like a superfluous person here, got up, returned to the room, lay down for a while, the noise outside affected him, he couldn't sleep, he got up again, he felt a little hungry, he went to the room where he usually ate, and saw that the meals had been cleaned up, only the leftover wine had not been put back in place, and he was happy in his heart, and he lifted the wine jar and swallowed two small half cans, and the wine increased greatly.

When they came out after drinking, the men and women were still laughing, singing and dancing, and when they glanced at it, they saw that Narcissus was talking to a girl, and at the same time watching Narcissus play with the bamboo bird—this bird was the treasure of Bloom, and its wings were shortened, so it could only run, but could not fly—so they walked outside the village.

Wu Cheng was scolded by his father and came back, passed by the front yard, walked past the crowd of singing and dancing, entered the back garden, and shook himself towards his residence.

In the drunken eyes, Wucheng saw that under the moonlight, a woman stood under a camphor tree and looked at his residence, the back was familiar, knowing that it was a narcissus, and walked over lightly.

Narcissus was looking, bluffing out of his body, and was about to scream, when he suddenly smelled a smell of wine, and suddenly understood who it was.

When I turned to look, it was him!

Narcissus scolded: "Damn! Man head, woman waist, what are you going to do! I saw you staggering when you passed by, I must have gone to steal wine and drink too much! I saw you go back to the backyard alone, I was afraid that you would fall into the gutter like the last time you were drunk, and I knew this virtue and fell in half, and no one poked your head to take care of you!"
