Chapter 34: Lucky
Four piles of firewood, poured rapeseed oil and lard, quickly ignited a fire and engulfed the dog demon that had been placed on it.
The feathered singer with her black wings folded, not too far from the cremation pile of the female dog demon, softly hummed a "Requiem" taught to her by Zhao Yan.
"Good night, good night, good night, good night, they sleep in the golden sea of clouds \ The sun shines down like feathers.
Good night ah \ good night ah \ good night ah \ the swings of my childhood are damaged \ their nests are no longer there.
Good night, good night, good night, good night, their eyes lose color, white wings cover them, ......"
The humming was so low that it was almost inaudible, but it seemed to have a kind of magic that made people who couldn't help but sour their noses, so that everyone who ran over to watch because of the rising flames invariably chose to shut up and look at the five blazing fires from afar.
Only the ignorant puppy arched back and forth in Jiang Xinyue's arms, completely unaware of the mother who gave it life, and the dust had returned to dust and earth to earth in the flames.
When the flames were finally extinguished, Chang Kaishen led three bald gourd babies and used a few small porcelain jars to collect the bones that had not been burned, and the remaining ashes were pulled to a small river by a cart under the guidance of Old Man Song, and all of them were scattered into the river.
"Erlang, give it a name. ”
Jiang Xinyue ate a belly of goat's milk, so the puppy that was already sleepy was lifted in front of Zhao Yan's eyes.
"Ahh
Zhao Yan's expression was slightly surprised.
"Except for Erlang, who else knows poetry better?
Jiang Xinyue asked rhetorically as a matter of course.
"Okay. Zhao Yan pursed his mouth, and he stared at the moon pattern on the puppy's forehead. After resisting the most appropriate name, he proposed, "Just call it...... Fortunate. How?"
"Lucky?"
Jiang Xinyue blinked, as if after thinking about it. I finally nodded.
"Well, the name Lucky is indeed quite suitable for this little guy. ”
Just after saying this, Jiang Xinyue made a move that Zhao Yan didn't expect again, she actually stuffed the puppy in her hand to Zhao Yan.
"It's, lucky, it's yours. ”
After a brief speech, Jiang Xinyue turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, Sister Xinyue, you can't ...... this."
Holding the newborn puppy, Zhao Yan couldn't stop it. I could only watch Jiang Xinyue walk away.
Probably because he felt that Zhao Yan's hug was uncomfortable, or Zhao Yan was talking too loudly or something, the newborn puppy let out a whining protest, forcing Zhao Yan to shut up quickly.
Carefully adjusted the posture of the lower hug, so that the puppy could continue to sleep comfortably, and after humming and chirping in protest, Zhao Yan showed a wry smile.
"Xia Hua, if Young Master Ben is impulsive again in the future, he will be a good person. You have to remind Young Master Ben early, a good person really can't do it!"
Zhao Yan smiled bitterly and said to the little maid Xia Hua who was following him.
The little girl in Xia Hua didn't say a word, she just pursed her lips and snickered openly, snickering and her eyes were full of little stars. Peek at the puppy held in Zhao Yan's arms.
It's so cute, it turns out that when the puppy was born, it looked so cute!
Miss Xinyue is really good! The second young master is so lazy. I won't raise a puppy myself, so it's a job to raise this puppy. It's definitely going to be handed over to someone else!
Ahh......h
Eyes flying with little stars. I couldn't stop peeking at the lucky little girl of the puppy, and secretly thought like this.
"Yan Shao, the silver treasury of Wujiazhuang has been tortured, and a hundred and ten taels of gold and two thousand taels of silver have been copied, and there are some messy gold, silver and jade artifacts...... How do you distribute it?"
Chang Kaishen jumped out of place, he was given a heavy responsibility by Zhao Yan, and there were a lot of things that needed to be managed and liaison, but fortunately, he couldn't do it, at least he could basically convince everyone.
Because Chang Kaishen kept in mind Zhao Yan's teachings - "If you want to be a good leader, you must put everything that should be in the clear place for everyone to see, as long as you deal with it fairly, then justice is naturally in the hearts of the people." ”
At that time, Chang Kaishen asked stupidly: "Yan Shao, what if the small one is very fair, but there are still people who are not convinced?"
Zhao Yan's answer was: "Give him three chances, and if he doesn't repent the third time, then tell him not to be unpredictable." ”
"Yan Shao, what do you mean not to be unpredictable?"
Chang Kaishen, whose education level is only slightly stronger than that of illiterate, asked with his mouth open.
"Oh, this is a black saying, to put it bluntly, it means - hurry up and pose for Uncle, I have already decided to beat you!"
Zhao Yan replied.
"Ah, this is good, this is good! Yan Shao, the little one knows what to do!"
Chang Kai Shenxi scratched his ears and cheeks, just like listening to the preaching of Bodhi Ancestor and hearing the true wonder of a certain monkey.
Of course, this answer is actually a thing of the past.
Fortunately, so far, no one has asked Chang Kaishen to say this black sentence that sounds like a crepe, but in fact it is so domineering that it can no longer be black.
"Leave three percent, as the southbound accommodation public expense, and then select three percent to send a strong twelve zhang, the saved forty percent according to the head, whether it is a noble or a servant to see the person has a share, but the left behind take less, the battle takes more, the injured take more, this degree you grasp yourself. ”
Zhao Yan ordered casually, and then became a shopkeeper, such a small amount of a few hundred taels of gold, he really doesn't look at it very much now.
It's just that these two delays and three delays, the time came to the west of the sun in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Yan, who couldn't walk, simply let the convoy move forward and set up camp in places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then gathered everyone to talk about "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" again.
The little maid of summer flowers got her wish, holding the sleeping puppy "lucky" beautifully, listening to the fascinating but not too detailed story, otherwise it will make people blush and heartbeat.
Unlike others, Xia Hua has never thought of any ideas, for her, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is just a story, a good story.
Xia Hua didn't even notice it. Although the people listening to the story today are still full, the atmosphere seems a little depressing. Some listeners have obvious ...... Absent-minded.
So in the early morning of the second day, five young boys and girls joined forces to bid farewell to Zhao Yan. Resolutely quitting the southbound tour group has become an inevitable thing.
Zhao Yan did not embarrass these people, but had a few cordial conversations with the few people who resigned, and shook hands with them one by one, encouraging everyone to study hard every day after returning to the great cause......
"Erlang, you are really bad enough, and before leaving, you bullied them for being young and ignorant. ”
After the five young boys and girls walked away in the car, the old fox Song Twelve Zhang came to Zhao Yan's side. Spit out Zhao Yan slightly.
Yesterday, they joined forces to fight, and the two people, who were at least one year apart in age, have become close friends.
"Twelve zhang, don't wronged people, I sincerely hope that they can live well after they go back. ”
So Zhao Yanyi retorted sternly.
"! These little fools, it's good not to be killed when you go back, if one of them can go back and get a favor, my old man will write his name upside down in the future!"
The old fox snorted hard, he saw it clearly. Zhao Yan can deceive those little hairy children, how can he fool him?
"You old people know everything, so why don't you wake them up?"
Zhao Yanke despised Old Man Song vigorously, and he was really not mistaken. This is an old fox with a fiery head that seems to have a fiery temper, but is actually completely black.
"They're stupid themselves, and they're going to my old man's!" If no one withdraws, how can it be shown that the remaining people are strong-willed? Don't tell my old man, you specially set aside the bar of only taking children to travel south. There was no attempt. ”
Song Shizhang launched a conspiracy theory, put Zhao Yan on the fire and roasted it, almost added cumin and salt, and then removed his head and ate it.
"Your old man has a preset position, why am I still talking about it? Hey, it's really a good old saying, Too young, too simple, it's really hard to be a good person......
Zhao Yan's mouth was yellow, but he was wondering whether to start the next step.
Yes, just like the conspiracy theories speculated by Song Twelvezhang, Zhao Yan specially made a bunch of little kids who had not even fully established their outlook on life, how could they not have any intentions?
Among these little kids, there may be this Taikang country, the future high-ranking official eunuch and even the martial arts master!
Brush up the favorability in advance, and let the little kids treat Young Master Ben as a life mentor in their hearts, no matter how you think about it, it's a big profit, right?
That's right, this is a long-line fishing for big fish, and if you want to make a profit, you have to wait until decades later, but by the way, taking precautions is a sure deal.
After all, the "divine skill" of contemplation has been proven to be a real thing by our golden thigh brother.
That's right, our brother Jin Dawei should have made his comprehension of the idea of contemplation public, right?
There's no way, that old and confused big martial artist actually wants to kick Young Master Ben to the south to be the southern pacification envoy, with the character of our golden thigh brother, this matter has definitely touched his scales......
The dragon has reverse scales that cannot be touched, and it will die if you touch it.
Our brother with golden thighs, who is also as strong as a dragon, even if he is injured now, this is the case.
Zhao Yan was thinking about it, and Chang Kaishen led a sweaty guard of the Rongyang County Mansion and hurriedly ran over.
"Second Young Master, the villain came to deliver a letter on the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, please check it on the Second Young Master. ”
The sweaty guard knelt down in front of Zhao Yan, took out the wooden box from his arms, and then took out a letter sealed with fire paint and presented it to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan checked the fire paint, and then checked the integrity of the seal of the letter before opening the letter.
"Although the second brother is relieved to go south, there is nothing to do at home - brother Puzi. ”
On the letter, Zhao Pu's neat handwriting.
"Before you set off, is there anything new in Daye City that is more sensational?"
Zhao Yan, who refolded the brief letter from Brother Jin's thigh, asked.
"Back to the second young master, there are some messy little things, but there are none of the big things that have caused a sensation in the city. ”
The guard hurriedly replied.
"That's right...... Well, what has my brother done in the past two days?"
"When I set off, His Royal Highness the Prince was preparing for a banquet, saying that he was going to invite some distinguished guests, but the small ones were not qualified to know the list of guests. ”
The guard replied hurriedly.
"Nothing else?"
Zhao Yan continued to ask questions with great interest.
The guard tried hard to think about it, and Ai Ai said again: "The prince and the princess went back alone, back to their parents' house, His Royal Highness the prince didn't send ......."
This answer made Zhao Yan's brain hurt a little, this matter was caused by him, but now he can't do anything, unless he can bring back the Demon Tiger Neidan or Hongyan Blood soon.
However, before a few months of preparation, how could it be possible to get the strength of the above two heavenly treasures?
This contradiction is acute and almost irreconcilable.
So Zhao Yan could only nod his head, indicating that after knowing the truth, he asked Chang Kaishen to take the guards down to rest.
Just assume that everything is okay and that there is nothing to do at home.
Zhao Yan can only think like this, or deceive himself.
Time...... Sooner or later it will tell!
Zhao Yan quickly regained his strength, and after teasing Xiao Lucky for a while, he hurriedly replied to Brother Jin's thigh before the team set off again.
"The younger brother is fine, everything is in the plan, don't read it. ”
Zhao Yan's reply was also very brief. (To be continued......)
