Chapter 5 The Taoist
"Alright, Xiaobai, you can turn around."
The scream didn't come out, Mo Ying swallowed it back with amazing perseverance, if it really screamed, Mo Bai would definitely turn around and flash to her side in seconds.
This is what it looks like.
I'll die of shame.
"Xiaobai, that pillar is faded, and there is a figure inside." In order to take Mo Bai's attention away from himself, Mo Ying pointed to the icicle in the middle of the pool and said in a soft voice.
Mo Bai glanced at Mo Ying, who had been lowering her head, didn't pay attention to her red ears, and corrected, "Yes, Dragon Man." ”
"Dragonman?"
Mo Ying's eyes were puzzled, and she asked curiously, "What is a dragon man?" I've only heard of dragons, and Mr. Big, who tells stories in the teahouse, often says that the emperor of the world is the reincarnation of a golden dragon in the sky and is born noble. ”
"Dragonman ......"
Mo Bai scratched his head, thinking about how to explain it in an easy-to-understand manner, "The child of the dragon and the man, the dragon man?" ”
Feeling that what he said was right, he nodded again and repeated emphatically: "Well, dragon man, dragon and human child. ”
"Children of dragons and men? The emperor is the reincarnation of the golden dragon, so the child born to him and the queen is a dragon man? ”
Mo Bai tilted his head, always feeling that something was wrong, looking at Mo Ying, who was expecting his answer, and nodded hesitantly.
Let's take it as it is.
"Understood, the emperor's child is a dragonman."
Mo Ying nodded solemnly, glancing at the icicles in the pool, "So this dragon man is also the emperor's child?"
But why is he here?
It's weird. ”
"Hmm," Mo Bai nodded with Mo Ying, and echoed, "It's weird." ”
"Dead?"
"Xiaobai went up the mountain just for him?"
"Are you going to get him out?"
Mo Ying asked three times in a row, and Mo Bai didn't know how to answer that first, he was already slow to speak, so he had to stop talking at this moment and do it directly.
Mo Ying stared at him curiously, only to see Mo Bai put his slender and white index finger and middle finger together, lightly swiped twice in front of him, and then waved his sleeves, and the icicles that were thick at the top and bottom and thin in the middle were only thick, not thin.
"Wow, Xiaobai, where did you hide him?"
Mo Ying's eyes flashed with starlight, looking at Mo Bai expectantly like a curious baby.
Mo Bai stretched out his hand, revealing a bottle-sized icicle in his palm, which was frozen with a figure-sized dragon man.
When it got closer, the figure inside was also clear.
"This ...... Is it a she-dragon? ”
Unable to ignore the small bare meat bag in front of the figure dragon man, Mo Ying saw clearly that this dragon man was not wearing clothes.
His eyes subconsciously glanced at the triangle of the figure dragonman, and Mo Ying's heart suddenly balanced.
I'm not alone.
No, what am I doing with the dead?
Thinking of this, she shuddered, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, looked at Mo Bai, and urged to leave: "Let's go back quickly, maybe there is still time to pick some snow vegetables." ”
Mo Bai nodded, put away the figure dragon man, glanced at the note on Mo Ying's forehead that was still golden, and stretched out his hand to her: "Let's go." ”
The two of them went out of the cave together.
Outside the cave, the sky was hazy and depressing.
"It's going to snowstorm a blizzard," Mo Ying judged, based on years of experience on the mountain, "There's no time to pick snow vegetables, Xiaobai, we have to fall down the mountain quickly." ”
The weather in the snowy mountains is like a fickle woman, the last moment she was gentle and timid, and the next moment she was like discovering a man hiding private money, revealing a fierce and cold appearance.
Fortunately, the two left the unfamiliar danger zone in time and returned to the familiar road, and then they just had to go back step by step.
Descending the mountain safely, Mo Ying took Mo Bai's hand and looked back at the cloudy snow-capped mountains.
"It's safe."
"Hmm."
With their backs to the snow-capped mountains, the two embarked on their way home.
For Mo Ying, today cannot be said to be no gain, it can only be said that there is no gain.
I didn't make any money today.
It's the last day, and you can't go into the mountain after that.
I enjoyed a hot spring that I couldn't even dream of...... But I always feel that it is still a loss.
"Hula~Hula~" The cold wind howled.
I don't know if it's an illusion, it's obviously getting farther and farther away from the snowy mountains, but Mo Ying feels that the sound of the wind and snow behind her is getting louder and louder, and the whistling sound is getting louder and louder.
The sound of the wind was like the howl of anger, and the sound of the snow was like the cry of fear.
"Xiaobai, did you hear any strange sounds?"
Mo Ying shrank beside Mo Bai, obviously out of the snowy mountain, the surrounding scenery was still white, boundless and invisible.
If she remembers it well, it won't take long to walk down the mountain, and she can see the official road and the snowy woods, and it shouldn't be a barren area.
"Huh? Xiaobai, what are you doing!? ”
"Hold on."
"Hmm...... Well. The sudden princess hug scared Mo Ying a lot, and she shrank in Mo Bai's arms, and she symbolically struggled for a while, and then obediently didn't move much.
It smells so good.
There is a faint fragrance on Xiaobai's body.
It's obviously a boy...... I don't have any scents.
On the same day, he had close contact with Mo Bai again, and no matter how much Mo Ying gritted his teeth, he couldn't calm down.
The first time it was too dark to see clearly, there was no other feeling except for warmth, but the second time it was comfortable, and you could see the inky white side face when you looked up slightly.
How can there be such a good-looking boy?
Mo Ying's eyes were full of peach blossoms, and the sound of wind and snow in her ears was still the same, or even better, but at this moment, she couldn't hear anything, and the only thing that echoed in her mind was the sound of her heart pounding.
Afterwards, Mo Ying recalled that the journey away from the snowy mountain was very strange.
Although Mo Bai understood, he didn't know how to explain it, and he was worried that telling the girl would scare her, and this strange return trip would be over.
◇——◇
"Hehe, hehe, haha."
"Master, don't laugh, it's really not for you to laugh when you go back, everyone else is looking at us with stupid eyes."
"Whoever is a fool, they are a fool!"
Gongsun Changquan sneered, hugged the rice paper in his arms, just got this, it was already worth the trip, he sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this Zhao Qingsong is still a hidden calligrapher, and he can write such a good hand." ”
The servant corrected, "Master, Mr. Zhao said that this was done by a friend of his, who is half a disciple. ”
Gongsun Changquan smiled: "What is a friend of half a disciple, I think it was written by him himself, didn't you see that he didn't hesitate when he sent it to me?" ”
Gongsun Changquan squinted his eyes and recalled the long talk of the seat in the room: "Such a good word, you can give it away so generously, saying that it was given by someone else, and the ghost believes it." ”
He shook his head slightly and continued: "You don't understand, the value of this word is no longer something that can be measured by a daughter, this Mr. Zhao...... It's not easy. ”
"Oh? Master, what's not simple? The servant wondered.
"The value of this deck of words is far more than my face can afford." Gongsun Changquan paused and added, "Even if it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's not good. ”
The servant reminded: "Master, be cautious. ”
Gongsun Changquan didn't think about it, and continued: "Accepting such a generous gift is equivalent to owing him a great favor. In the future, if he encounters any difficulties when he enters Beijing, if I don't help him one or two, I can't say anything about it. ”
"Then the master still picks up?" Recalling the funny appearance of his master in the private school, he wanted to laugh, and said, "How dare you accept such a big gift from Mr.", grabbed the scroll in his hand, and secretly took it into his arms.
"Hmph, that's because you don't understand its value," Gongsun Changquan shook the scroll and repeated it, he snorted and sneered: "It seems that I have lost, but in fact I am earning by blood!" ”
"Yes, yes, it's good if the master is happy."
"Hey, I really want to go back to Beijing and frame it soon."
Gongsun Changquan slowly rubbed the scroll, like a mother loving a sleeping child, and his movements were gentle.
"Compared to this, the ones hanging in the house are simply garbage!"
"Master, the calligraphy and paintings of the first emperor are also in your collection." The servant kindly reminded.
"Except for the First Emperor."
"And the great writer Wang Guanzhi."
"Except for this!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
“…… You're talking a little too much today. ”
The servant pursed his lips, and the acquaintance said no more.
The air was filled with cheerfulness again.
"Hehe, hey, haha!"
——
In the teahouse, the tea table was full of people.
"Hey, have you heard, there are dead people in Osmanthus Alley."
"I heard about it, and it was said that the death was very ...... Well, the dead are greater. ”
"What's the drop, you said, Lao Tzu hates half of the people who talk the most!"
"Dead?" A bald head suddenly appeared in the crowd and asked curiously, "How did you die?" ”
"It is said, it is said that it was sucked dry by a monster and died!"
"Youkai? Could it be the red-eyed monster who made trouble a while ago? ”
"Demon, is it really a demon?"
"I'll just say, that red-eyed monster can't be a good kind!"
The faces of the people were different, but they were all frightened.
"Shhh...... How could I not meet such a monster? ”
“???”
The bald man coughed dryly, took a sip of hot tea and asked, "How can the people of the government say that?" ”
"Hehe, what else can I do, a group of dogs who eat imperial food, they can't do much business, and there are a bunch of stupid things."
The teahouse was quiet, everyone looked at each other for a while, no one answered, and they were very happy to spit out the fragrance of the government...... Unless someone takes the lead.
"How?" The bald man was interested.
"The official found a Taoist priest out of nowhere, and the gods chattered, saying that there was an evil hidden in Osmanthus Alley, and he wanted to go door-to-door to check the house and exorcise the evil spirits."
"What a red-eyed monster." Someone in the audience interjected, "I think the government is doing a good job, why are you so angry?" ”
The Taoist priest took the hay and sprinkled some water, lit it, and wandered around the house, and could smell a scorched smell from afar! The evil cult has not been driven away, and everyone has been driven out! ”
"Dude, you just came out of there?"
"That's right, now the whole Osmanthus Alley is filled with a scorched smell! His grandmother's, not the stuff of the son of man! ”
Everyone looked at each other, no wonder this person was so irritable, the fire burned to his own head, who could sit safely?
"Well, where are you going?"
"Seeing that the brother said such a vivid image, I can't bear to wait to see the excitement!" Everyone spoke in unison, rushed out of the teahouse, and ran to the osmanthus lane in the east of the city.
They didn't see it, and the grumpy old brother couldn't hold back the corners of his faintly upturned mouth: "Hehe, a group of things that don't know what to say, don't be smoked to death over there when the time comes." ”
The bald man squinted: "Is this what you're for?" ”
"Huh?" How can there still be people!
The grumpy old brother trembled for a moment, and asked fearlessly, "What did you say about Nima?" ”
The bald man put down the teacup, touched his shiny scalp, and said with a smile: "I'm also curious, it's really that tasteful?" I'm going too! ”
"Tsk," the grumpy old brother held the teacup, sipped the tea beautifully, his happy expression was no longer hidden, and sighed: "The future is terrifying." ”
————
East of the city, Osmanthus Lane.
A woman with a cloth covering her mouth and nose and a shovel in her hand stood in front of her house like a god of war.
Her eyes were firm, her expression was vicious, and her eyes showed a fierce light, glaring at everyone like a fierce tiger.
"This lady, you make it difficult for me to do this."
The crane-haired old man in his robe looked embarrassed, he held a handful of hay in his hand, and the front end of the hay was lit, and there were bursts of smoke rising.
"Today, even if the old lady dies here, it won't be wide enough for you to enter the old lady's house with a turtle king!"
The woman spoke in her native dialect, picked up the shovel in her hand, and was about to throw it at the Taoist.
The Taoist hurriedly retreated, dodging the shovel that fell from the sky, so that he could say and persuade: "I am doing this for your good!" ”
The woman scolded angrily: "Get out, the old lady doesn't need to bite!" ”
"Holy! Still coming? "The Taoist was frightened by the woman, once the woman is ruthless, she will not leave her mouth alive!
"The government, the people of the government!" He shouted, "Come and do me a favor!" ”
Dozens of meters away, Qin Fan looked at the Taoist who was being chased away like a duck, revealing a helpless expression.
For some indescribable reason (the people above were smoked away), he is now the supreme manager of things.
Thin catch: "Boss, what should I do?" Do you want to send someone over and tie up the woman? ”
Qin Fan shook his head: "No, did you see the man over there?" Go and give him a bag of money and let him say that......"
Qin Fan whispered something to the thin catcher.
Skinny Catcher: "Understood." ”
Over there, the chase continues.
"I'll kill you turtle king!"
"Auntie, I also use money to do things, why do you bother me!"
"It's your aunt next door!"
"Oh, hey, sister, sister, it's okay, don't chase it!"
"Get out, you're a few years old, and you still take advantage of the nest!"
Gan!
Reasoning with a woman is like playing the harp to a cow.
It's easier to play the piano to the cow!
The Taoist is bitter in his heart, and the Taoist screams.
"What about the people from the government, come here, kill someone! I'm going to complain, and I'm going to take care of it! ”
Finally, his call was answered.
"Stinky bitch, calm down!"
Dozens of meters away, a man rushed out of the crowd of onlookers and shouted to the woman in the air: "Let's not want the house, haven't you always wanted to buy a house in the inner city, I have saved enough money, so I'll buy it for you!" ”
"Really?" The woman chasing the Taoist suddenly stopped, her eyes shone with starlight, looked at her own man who rushed out of the crowd, and said suspiciously: "Don't you lie to the nest, lie to the nest, and kill you with Tieqiuhuo!" ”
"I don't lie to you, I don't lie to you! What the hell I lied to you! The man raised his hand and waved the heavy money bag in his hand, "Look, I'm even ready for money!" ”
"What a drip!"
The woman jumped up and down happily, dropped the shovel with joy, and ran straight to her man in excitement.
Watching the shovel fall less than half a meter in front of him, smashing a shallow pit into the ground.
The Taoist had weak legs and feet and fell to the ground.
"Live...... survived. ”
