Chapter 42: Acting for the Sky and Rain 2
The old family was obviously a little confused, and said: "The old man is old, and he doesn't remember what the son said about how to move Gu Sheshan. When the old man went in to ask, and then replied to the son, he asked the son to wait. ”
Pharmacist Li bowed down and thanked: "Such a hard old man." ”
The old family went in for a long time, and when they came out again, they said to Pharmacist Li: "Childe, there is quite a long way to go from this place, and the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to walk at night. Why don't you stay here for a while and leave at dawn? ”
Pharmacist Li was relieved not to go out of Xiu, and was muttering to himself.
The old family said: "Son, my uncle and second master are all out of the house, and only the old lady is at home, so it is inconvenient to stay guests." It's just that the old man heard that Gushu Mountain is a long way away, and he thought that if the son traveled overnight, he was afraid that he would get lost again, so he begged the old lady to allow the son to stay overnight. If Childe insists on leaving, if he loses his way again, he is afraid that he will not even be able to find this place. ”
Pharmacist Li thought that the old family's words were reasonable, so he agreed: "There are so many disturbances. ”
The old family raised their hands and led Pharmacist Li into the mansion.
Pharmacist Li followed the old family through several courtyards to the central hall.
The old family invited Pharmacist Li to sit down and report by himself.
Pharmacist Li saw that there were two upper seats in the middle of the hall and two rows of couches below, so he sat down.
I saw that the wooden couch shape is elegant and simple, the lines are simple and smooth, the material is black and purple, delicate and smooth, the tentacles are warm, and the fragrance is faint, which is actually made of the best South China Sea rosewood.
He couldn't help but caress the couch and touch the soft moistness of the wood with his fingers.
There are a few daffodils in the hall, the flowers and leaves are lush and beautiful, and the cold fragrance overflows the whole hall.
There were also servants who offered fragrant tea.
Pharmacist Li saw that the tea was golden in color, fragrant and fragrant, and it seemed to be more luscious than the tea fried by Xiu.
Knowing tea and loving tea, such as Pharmacist Li, he can't tell what kind of tea this fragrant tea is.
Pharmacist Li was admiring himself, and two maids in Tsing Yi had come out of the inner room, giving a gift to Pharmacist Li, and said, "Mrs. Tai has come out." ”
Pharmacist Li hurriedly got up to greet him.
I saw the hairpin's light sideburns, and several women came out of the inner room with Mrs. Tai in their arms.
This lady is about fifty years old, dressed in a green skirt and plain jacket, and her demeanor is elegant and elegant.
Pharmacist Li hurriedly stepped forward to pay a respect.
Mrs. Na bowed in and said, "The children have not returned, and the old man is at home alone, so it is not appropriate to stay as a guest according to etiquette." However, now the sky is cloudy, and the son does not know the way back. If you can't stay here, where do you want your son to spend the night? It's just that if you give up your home in the countryside, don't be slacker. ”
She has a gentle and graceful bearing, like a family style.
Pharmacist Li bowed down and thanked: "Mrs. Tai is very polite, and the younger generation really doesn't dare to be it." ”
Mrs. Tai replied: "Childe is not too modest. I want my son to come from afar, maybe I haven't had time to eat. The old man chatted and prepared for a while, so he asked the son to move to the side hall. ”
Pharmacist Li thanked him, and followed Mrs. Natai through a heavy courtyard to the side hall.
I saw that the tables and stools in this side hall were also made of rosewood from the South China Sea, which was extremely noble and elegant.
I also saw that the food on the table was rich, and the colors were delicate and exquisite, but they were all seafood delicacies, and there were no mountain products.
This house is located in the deep mountains and dense forests, thousands of miles away from the sea, but I don't know how to have so many fresh fish scales, shrimp and shellfish? Pharmacist Li couldn't help but be a little more curious about this family.
It's just that the master doesn't ask him where he came from, and he can't open his mouth to ask.
Pharmacist Li finished his meal, and then thanked Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai said: "If it is too late today, and the son has to hurry tomorrow, please go and rest first." ”
Pharmacist Li was ordered and was about to retire, when Mrs. Tai said: "Son, leave your children and return home tonight. When the children come back, they may be noisy, but they are afraid that they will inevitably disturb the son, so please take care of the son. ”
Pharmacist Li hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
Mrs. Tai smiled again: "It's not that the old body is chattering, it's just that the children are too noisy, if the son hears a strange voice, don't be alarmed." ”
Pharmacist Li said in his heart: "Although I, Pharmacist Li, do not dare to violate the ban with force, I am not a person who is afraid of people and things. Could it be that my words and deeds are too respectful, but let these people look down on me? ”
At that moment, he no longer thanked him, but only answered "yes" and said goodbye to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai ordered the two maids in Tsing Yi to prepare bedding for the guests, and Pharmacist Li followed them to the wing.
I saw that the mattress was light and soft, and the pillow was fragrant and clean, all of which were of the best quality.
The two maids carefully laid out the bedding and tightly fastened the doors and windows before leaving.
Pharmacist Li first listened to Mrs. Natai's earnest admonition to the noisy and noisy state of the children, and then saw the two maids carefully fastening the doors and windows, obviously afraid that the young master would come home in the middle of the night and make the distinguished guests frightened.
The master was so cautious and fearful, but it made Pharmacist Li can't help but be curious.
So he was not in a hurry to go to bed, but pushed open a window, and sat upright by the window, but wanted to see who the noisy people who came home in the middle of the night.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost the middle of the night, and there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door in front of me.
Pharmacist Li thought to himself that it must be the noisy figure who had returned, so he hurriedly listened attentively.
Although the wing room is separated from the front yard by a few steps into the courtyard, in the dead of night, the sound is very clear.
When Pharmacist Li heard someone answering the door, his accent was like that of the old family member who brought him into the house.
I heard someone say: "Old butler, I have an urgent mandate of eight thousand miles, and I must send this rainy day talisman to your mansion Dalang Jun before the second watch." You take the talisman and send the word in quickly, so that I can go back to my life. ”
The old family said, "It's December now, it's snowing, right?" ”
The person who came smiled and said, "This is the holy order of the Heavenly Court, how can I be allowed to wait for my beak?" According to the order of the heavenly talisman, the rain must spread all over the land around this mountain for dozens of miles, and it must be done before the dawn of the fifth watch, and there must be no delay in delay, and no heavy rain must hurt people. Now that it has entered the second watch, the time is imminent, the old housekeeper should hurry up to collect the heavenly talisman and submit it to your family. ”
Pharmacist Li heard the sound of the old family collecting the heavenly talismans, and heard the sound of people leaving.
At this time, the inner house had already been alarmed, and Pharmacist Li saw the lights and candles in the central hall from the window, and the sound of footsteps sounded; I saw the old family member holding the talisman in his hand, walking by his window, and walking quickly into the atrium.
After a while, I heard Mrs. Tai's voice say: "This rainy day talisman is so urgent, if Da Lang doesn't get home before the third watch, I'm afraid that I will miss a big thing." ”
She was obviously very worried, and on the one hand ordered the old man to wait in front of the door, and on the other hand, she ordered the people to prepare the dragon horse and rain equipment needed for the rain.
As soon as Da Lang returns home, he will be able to rain immediately.
However, the hours passed little by little, and there was still no return of Dalang.
I only heard Mrs. Tai say: "The destiny of heaven is severe, and it must not be violated slightly, and if there is a delay, it will be heavily responsible." Da Lang has not returned for a long time, how is it good? ”
There was already a sense of anxiety in his voice.
