Chapter 32: The Torment of the Night
After drinking the bowl of bird's nest lotus seed soup, Mo Cong fell asleep in a daze.
"Mo Cong!"
Mo Cong was half-asleep and half-awake when he heard his master calling him outside the window, so he raised his eyes to look. At this time, the moonlight ripples in front of the window like water waves, and the dense bamboo outside the window is also soaked in the clear moonlight. Mo Cong clearly saw that the master was standing in the open space of the bamboo forest, with a garland on her head, a long white dress on her body, her clothes fluttering, and two intoxicating dimples on her face as before, her smile was gentle and beautiful.
"Master!" Mo Cong shouted anxious and happy, and hurriedly rushed out of the room and ran to Master's side.
"Are you still used to being here?" asked Master.
"Well, habit, everybody is very nice to me"
Before Mo Cong finished speaking, Master smiled and said, "Master and your sister Bao have important things to do, and it will be up to you in the future, remember! Listen to Mrs. Lan, don't cause trouble to others."
"Master, don't worry, I won't!"
When Mo Cong raised his eyes to look at the master, the master's face suddenly became extremely painful, her face seemed to be distorted, blood was spit out of her mouth, the wind in the bamboo forest wrinkled, the moon in the sky suddenly disappeared, and there was darkness in front of her.
"Master-Master-"
Mo Cong shouted loudly, and at the moment when the moonlight disappeared, Mo Cong seemed to see a huge pitch-black palm stretching out from the sky, and the claws grabbed the master's back, the action came quickly, and the master couldn't dodge for a while, and was forcibly carried to the sky, farther and farther away
"Master—"
Mo Cong shouted again, sat up from the bed suddenly, and broke out in a cold sweat. The young man rubbed his eyes, the moonlight was still bright outside the window, and the bamboo forest was silent, a beautiful night.
"Whew!" Mo Cong let out a sigh of relief, wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, "It's a dream!"
"Brother Mo Cong, what's wrong with you?" Yue unkempt her hair and wore a thin shirt, she lifted Mo Cong's curtain and rushed in with a panicked face, she saw Mo Cong's eyes straight, beads of sweat on his head, and she didn't know what was going on for a while.
"Uh, no, it's nothing, I had a nightmare, I'm fine, you go back to sleep!" Looking at Yue's two slender legs and looming soft body, Mo Cong panicked for a moment and said in a hurry. It was only then that he was fully awake, and he remembered that he was not the only one living in this house.
"Oh!" Yue was stunned for a moment, covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and walked back, and said vaguely: "If there is anything, you can call me" The girl did not finish speaking, her body was already lying on the bed, and in a moment her even-sized breathing was heard in the room.
"Alas!" Mo Cong pressed his hand on his chest, let out a long breath, looked at the moon's hibiscus tent and was stunned for a while, suddenly felt a little dry mouth, and tiptoed to the bamboo table that was polished and polished, carved with fine patterns, and looked at the teapot and teacup on the table by the moonlight, and wanted to pour a cup, but he was afraid of waking up the moon, so he simply picked up the teapot and drank two sips, and returned to the couch but couldn't fall asleep after turning over and over.
Maybe it was because he drank a few more bowls of porridge during the day, and just drank a stomach full of herbal tea, Mo Cong felt a temporary tightness in his lower body, and he couldn't help but shudder. Outside the window, the moon had fallen to the branches, big and round. Mo Cong moved lightly towards the door, and finally touched the outer room, but the latch of the Poison Dragon Mansion had a unique process, and Mo Cong fiddled with it for a long time, but he couldn't open it, and he was so anxious that he was sweating for a while.
"What the hell is this, why can't it be opened!"
Mo Cong was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard the sound of heaven behind him.
"Brother Mo Cong, where are you going?"
The lights suddenly turned on in the room, and Mo Cong turned around suddenly, like a thief caught by the lights at night, leaning against the door, pressing the two door panels with both hands, and looking at the two slender girls in the light in a panic.
Tian was holding an oil lamp in her hand, and Yue was next to her, and the two charming eyes that had just woken up from sleep flashed puzzled gazes at the same time, staring at Mo Cong tightly.
"I, I want to" Mo Cong made a bitter face, facing the two girls, and couldn't think of a suitable word in his head.
"I'm going to pee!" Yue blurted out without being reserved, and Mo Cong's face turned red.
"Brother Mo Cong, the commode is in the porch to your left. Tian's face was still hazy and sleepy, and he pointed with his finger.
Mo Cong glanced in the direction of her finger, but there was only a transparent bamboo wall between the convenient place and the outer room of the heavenly residence.
"I, I'd better go outside!" Mo Cong looked at the two little girls with almost that pleading gaze, he didn't feel that Yue and Tian were his personal girls at all, he felt that the two of them were the masters of this room.
"Oh!" Tsuki stepped forward and said, "I'll open the door for you!"
"I'm supposed to open it! I'm the girl in the outer room today!"
As he spoke, Tian also took two steps forward, and Yue glanced back at her, and the two of them stood at the same time.
"Didn't I see you holding the lamp!" said Yue angrily.
"You can open the door with a lamp!" Tian said unconvinced.
"I can't hold it back!" Mo Cong said with a sad face.
"I won't fight with you!" Tian turned his head and lay back on the bed angrily.
Seeing this, Yue raised a pretty face, casually helped Mo Cong open the door, and chattered behind Mo Cong: "Brother Mo Cong, you give a comment, you said that she is not angry, obviously she lost the bet with me, she should have been in the outer room for half a month, she was still angry with me, you see her just like that!"
Mo Cong looked back at her in a daze, and Yue Cai stopped and turned around with a grin.
Seeing Yue's light figure disappear from sight, Mo Cong was relieved, and hurriedly ran into the bamboo forest, which was very convenient.
"Brother Mo Cong, you have to talk about her later!"
Mo Cong had just lifted his pants, but before he could turn around, the moon ghost was like a god, and he appeared out of nowhere, crossed his mouth, and said delicately.
"Oh!" Mo Cong snorted noncommittally.
"Satsuki, who are you talking about?"
As soon as the two of them turned around, on the moonlit tree-lined path, Tian folded his arms, calmly looked at the moon with a pretty face.
"Stab you in the back!
Seeing this, Yue didn't panic, stepped forward and took Tian's hand, and said with a smile: "Good sister, I'm playing with you, I already knew you were here!"
"Whew!" Tian turned his gaze to the side, ignoring the moon.
"Brother Mo Cong, look at her!" Yue Jiao glanced at Mo Cong squeamishly, then turned back and shook the arm of the sky, and said, "Good sister, you are really angry with your sister!
"Just what you can say!" Tian pouted, walked to Mo Cong's side, and said with a look of grievance: "Brother Mo Cong, this guy cheated with me when he gambled during the day, don't believe her words!"
Mo Cong blinked twice, looked at the sky, and then looked at the moon, the two pink little faces were so cute, he didn't want to offend anyone, he looked at the moon in the sky stupidly, and said, "The moon is so big tonight!"
Hearing this, Yue and Tian were stunned, as if they saw Mo Cong's thoughts, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Mo Cong, are you hungry?" Tian suddenly asked.
For half a month, Mo Cong didn't eat anything, and when he heard Tiantian ask like this, he really felt empty in his stomach.
"I'm really hungry. ”
"That's right, there are still some snacks in the room, so let's not sleep," Tianhuan looked at the bamboo forest soaked in the moonlight, and said with a smile: "Such a good beautiful scenery, sitting in the bamboo forest to drink tea, admire the moon, eat snacks, and talk, what do you think?"
"Well, that's a good idea!" At this time, Mo Cong felt that most of his physical strength had recovered, and the lethargy of the days had made him sleepless, and it was also a good thing to sit in the bamboo forest and eat some snacks and breathe fresh air. So nodded.
The two girls were busy for a long time, and there was a pot of tea on the stone table in the bamboo forest, three plates of snacks, and three people sat around the table with their clothes draped. The beautiful moonlight seemed to be prepared for them, and a full moon rested firmly above their heads.
"Brother Mo Cong, you eat more!" Yue carefully pinched a small snack and handed it to Mo Cong, "Do you feel better?"
"I feel so much better!" Mo Cong was not polite, he took a bite of the small tea in his mouth, he was really hungry, although the small snack melted in the mouth, sweet and soft, but it was also a little choking, Mo Cong hurriedly picked up the tea cup and moistened it twice, and suddenly felt that the taste of tea was very familiar.
"It's really good tea!"
"It's not just the tea, look at it! This tea set is all brought from your house!" Tian said as he picked up the teacup for Mo Cong to see.
"Hmm!" Yue nodded and replied, "This tea set is absolutely superb, even rare in the Poison Dragon Mansion!"
Looking at the tea set in Yue's hand, Mo Cong couldn't help but think of Sister Bao, the taste of that tea was the same as Yingbao's craftsmanship. Mo Cong's love for tea also comes completely from Yingbao's edification, so he misses Master and Sister Bao even more in his heart.
"Brother Mo Cong, don't be sad," the god suddenly smiled secretly, looked at Mo Cong, and said, "Brother Mo Cong, do you know who taught us to make tea?"
Mo Cong shook his head and said, "It won't be Sister Bao!"
"Of course not, guess!"
"Is it Mrs. Lan?"
"No, Madame never makes tea, she taught us to drink tea!" Yue smiled.
"Then I can't guess!"
"I'll tell you!" Tian pursed his lips and smiled, with a little smug on his face, and said, "It's Ling Xian'er, you can't guess!"
"Ling Xian'er?" Mo Cong was like a thunderbolt from the sky, staring at the tea in the cup, motionless.
"Of course, you don't know yet," Tian spoke, his face was obviously full of admiration, "She really deserves to be a princess, she told Mrs. Lan that you like to drink your sister's tea, and she said that the water your sister made tea was made from the top of the snow peak, and Madame did it."
"She knows all this?" Mo Cong was particularly shocked in his heart, in the eyes of everyone, Ling Xian'er was a careless and delicate princess, but no one expected her mind to be so meticulous.
"That's not all," Yue shook her head and sighed: "Before she left, she specially explained to us, and told us a lot of things you like to eat, saying that you can't eat salty food, you can't eat spicy food anyway!
"So, if that's what you say?"
Hearing this, Mo Cong couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, but now he could only look at the moon in the sky and sigh alone, "She may have returned to the palace!" Mo Cong muttered to himself.
"It's useless to apologize"
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, although the tone of the person who spoke was the same as that of the little princess, but the voice was indeed from the poisonous dragon zhi.
"You haven't slept so late!" Mo Cong looked back at the poisonous dragon Zhi who slowly walked out of the moonlight.
"You three are chirping here, can I fall asleep?"
Poison Dragon Zhi was originally an unintentional joke, but he didn't want Mo Cong to take it to heart, "I'm sorry, I'm bothering you!"
Seeing this, Poison Dragon Zhi was stunned, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and smiled wryly.
Yue immediately sank his face and said, "Young Master, I don't believe what you say, can you hear what we are talking here?"
Hearing this, Poison Longzhi secretly glanced at Yue, raised his hand and patted Mo Cong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm joking with you, don't you care, Yue is right, I haven't seen you talk to you, let me tell you the truth, I don't know what's wrong tonight, I just can't sleep, so I came out for a walk, I just heard you talking here, I came over really, I didn't lie!"
"Do you miss someone's little princess?" said with a smile.
"Go, go, what do I think people are doing?" Poison Longzhi waved his hand, he was used to greeting these little girls on weekdays, and he didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Mo Cong, in fact, I really have one thing, I wanted to discuss it with you a long time ago, and I didn't say anything when I saw that your complexion was not very good."
"What's the matter?" Mo Cong suddenly remembered the inexplicable mystery on the faces of the poisonous dragon zhi and the mountain ghost Wen during the day, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Heh!" Poison Dragon Zhi smiled, glanced at Yue Hetian, and whispered a few words in Mo Cong's ear.
"Huh?" Mo Cong looked at Poison Longzhi with a long mouth, pondered for a long time, and said, "That's not good."
"Okay brother, others don't know, I don't know you yet," Poison Longzhi squinted his eyes, looked at Mo Cong with that kind of gaze that seemed to be contemptuous, and said: "The martial arts competition in the Martial God Temple is imminent, you wish you could know the true strength of that Emperor Fu Yunsong now!"
"Uh," Mo Cong was speechless for a moment, and the words of the young master of the poisonous dragon really spoke to his heart. However, the thought of going to spy on the details of Huangfu Yunsong really made Mo Cong feel excited.
