153: Island in the middle of a lake
"A few of you, please take a seat, if there is anything missing, just command the small one." The little guy hunched down and retreated under the high platform, leaning against the high platform to look at the group of people who were indulging in pleasure in front of him.
After the eight of them were seated, Twilight reached out and pulled a chicken leg from the table and nibbled on it, and Xuan Mo smiled and shook his head when he saw it. But Rong Qing calmly picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for Zhao Li, poured another glass for himself, and then took the wine glass and drank it all.
Everyone was puzzled, this place was really weird, not to mention that it was in the secret realm, even if it was not in the secret realm, such a scene would not appear in the chaotic world. But seeing that Rong Qing and Xuan Mo seemed to be very calm, they felt even more puzzled.
"Don't be stunned, I'll eat it all in a while!" Twilight hadn't finished the chicken leg in her hand yet, so she pulled another one as she spoke, and glanced at everyone with an oily face.
Xuan Mo picked up the wine jug in front of him and poured himself a glass of wine, took it and took a sip and enjoyed it: "Good wine!" It's much better than the wine of the Sky Curtain House. ”
When the rest of the people heard this, their hearts were shaken, Xuan Cong'an picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the rest of the people: "Then let's taste it too, although it is strange here, but the wine cannot be disappointed." ”
At this time, the dancing girls on the high platform retreated one after another, and a woman dressed in white with a veil walked up to the stage with a pipa and sat in the center of the high platform, plucking the strings with her ten fingers and singing faintly.
"You don't see the eastward flowing water, there is no trace when you come, and you are gone. You don't see the sun in the city, there is no mountain to go today, and the Ming Dynasty is back up. Why do you need to ask, floating love, I know that floating life is in a dream. Why do you need to ask, floating love, so far floating life is in a dream. ”
The singing was melodious, like the sound of a beam, which brought the noise in the hall to an abrupt end. Everyone listened quietly with their wine glasses, as if they were drawn into a silent contemplation by the song, and could not return to their senses for a long time.
Rong Qing lowered his head silently, as if he felt something in his heart. People in this world always like to say, how to know this earlier, but where do you know so much about it. For the things that have passed, although mortals have the intention of regaining them, they have no power to regain them, just like the original night departure, even if the world is destroyed, they also ask Di Hao to say a sincere word.
From this, it can be seen that cherishing the people in the present is the most important. He doesn't want to be like Di Hao, he has love but refuses to love, and he won't be like Aragami, who can sacrifice his beloved for the sake of the world. As far as he is concerned, he is willing to go to great lengths to save the world, just so that she can live happily.
Rong Qing turned his head to look at Zhao Li, seeing that her eyes were red as if there were tears, he reached out and grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, Zhao Li turned his head and smiled at him.
Both of them are very fortunate to be together again after going through so many things. is different from Zhaoli and Rong Qing in the past, and the two of them now firmly believe that they are the most important people in each other's hearts. At this point, there will be no regrets.
After singing the song, the audience suddenly erupted in a burst of cheers, which was deafening. Someone shouted for the woman to take off her veil, to see what a beautiful woman could sing such a song.
The woman handed the pipa in her hand to the dancing girl beside her, and then took the wine glass handed by the dancing girl and looked at the maids under the high platform, who walked into the crowd with wine jugs and poured wine.
"Thank you for your support, the little woman toasts you with a glass, do it first!" With that, she lifted the corner of her veil and drank the wine from her glass.
Everyone shouted and drank all the wine glasses, but only Rong Qing's table of eight people did not move.
Seeing that Rong Qing and the others had not moved, the woman filled the empty cup in her hand with wine: "These guest officers, on my island in the middle of the lake, there will be no danger, you don't have to worry, the little woman will give a few more glasses." ”
But the more she said it so deliberately, the more strange everyone felt, isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? Only Xuan Mo picked up the wine glass and nodded at her, and then drank the wine in the glass again.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, and a group of dancing girls danced on the high platform, and for a while the ribbon and white yarn flew, which dazzled people.
After arguing for a long time, the little guy from before walked to the table of Rong Qing and the others: "Several, the time has come, please leave with the little one!" ”
"Leave? Where to? Twilight asked, looking up puzzled.
"Naturally, I left this island in the middle of the lake and went to the place where a few people came."
There was no trace of abnormality on the little guy's face, and he still had the same smiling face as before. It's just that this sounds weird, even if it's a restaurant, there is no reason to drive away customers!
Besides, everyone was ready to happen when they came here, and now they just let these people eat and drink enough and leave, which is really confusing.
But Rong Qing and Xuan Mo got up almost at the same time, and Xuan Mo said to the little guy with a smile: "It's hard!" ”
Twilight Xue scratched her head and looked at Zhao Li in confusion, but saw Zhao Li smiling at her, got up and followed Rong Qing.
"What's inexplicable..."
"With your brain, you can't come up with it." Twilight followed her when she saw her get up, and couldn't help but tease when she heard her mutter.
"You can figure it out, then tell me, why is this?" Twilight asked reluctantly pulling him.
"This, naturally... It's time for people to close! ”
"Why do you let us go when it's closed, why don't the others leave?"
“......”
"Oh, I don't know, right? I don't know, dare to talk nonsense! Twilight rolled her eyes at him and bounced forward after her.
After a few people went ashore, the little guy smiled and saluted everyone, turned around and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion. It's just that after his figure disappeared into the night, the lights of the Lake Center Pavilion suddenly went out, and the wooden bridge in front of him suddenly disappeared.
In the distance, there was a dim and dark lake, so silent that there was not a single sound, which made people look at it with fear.
The people stood on the shore in astonishment, and watched for a long time, but no one spoke or moved.
"Hehe, this reminds me of a story." Zhaoli stood for a long time and suddenly smiled.
"What's the story?"
"Once upon a time, the old servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion told me a story. It is said that a scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, passed by a forest, and when he saw that it was getting late, he wanted to find a home to spend the night. But after looking and searching, he couldn't find anyone in the woods, and finally he met a child, who said that there was a restaurant here to stay, so he led him there. The restaurant was also very lively, and there were many people drinking and having fun. The scholar had a good conversation with the group, and finally fell drunk on the table, but when he woke up the next day, he found himself sleeping in a pile of dead leaves. ”
"This story is interesting, the scholar is afraid that he met a monster, right?" Twilight asked, tilting her head.
"If it's a monster, it will inevitably harm him, how can you provide him with wine and food to feed him and give him a tile to cover his head?" Zhaoli smiled and glanced back at her.
"That's right, what happened to the scholar?" Twilight asked.
"It is said that he later won the first prize, and ordered someone to build a restaurant next to the forest that was exactly the same as the one he saw, for those travelers and scholars who were rushing to take the exam to stay for free."
"Strange, if he wants to repay those who keep him to live, why should he build a restaurant for those who have nothing to do with it?" Twilight was puzzled.
Zhaoli only smiled and reached out to touch her head, but did not answer her.
