Chapter 183: Vermilion Lips
It wasn't until Uncle Shi closed the door of the hall again that Zhao Rang came back to his senses.
He thought carefully about the question that Uncle Shi had just said.
In fact, this is not a problem, but it sounds a little strange, and even a carefree person like Zhao Rang can't accept it for a while.
Fortunately, such a thing has happened once before.
The last time he didn't do anything, but suddenly he said that he had killed someone, issued a sea fishing document, and was wanted in the whole north, regardless of life or death.
This time, I finally braved the wind and snow and climbed to the top of Baihe Mountain, and I didn't do anything, but I suddenly changed from a bachelor to a person with a wife!
The former is not so good.
The latter is not too bad.
It's just that there aren't many good ones.
Qingqing, this girl, the more Zhao Rang gets along with her, the more he feels that he can't see through her.
By now, Zhao Rang no longer expected that he could see through him, because he was already a little afraid of her!
This fear came very suddenly, without reason or logic. Maybe it's a word, an action, a look, or even something that others casually mention, will make Zhao Rangsheng feel such emotions.
"Alas......"
Yang Tian opened his mouth and sighed.
The cold snowflakes fell into his mouth, and the chill when it melted made Zhao Rang's spirits lift.
Looking at the direction of the mountain, he glanced back at the Lu Zu Hall with the door closed, and he walked down the long road without hesitation.
I have to say that the people who built the stone steps of Baihe Mountain are really a bit of a Taoist!
The descent was noticeably easier than the ascent, and it felt like the journey was more than half shorter.
Zhao Rang walked with his arms flailed, and in less than a stick of incense, he saw the senior sister who led him up the mountain.
"You've been waiting for me here?"
"I'll wait for you here."
Zhao Rang's face changed, and he didn't have the surprise when he spoke before.
A good-looking girl who is willing to stand here and wait for you by herself has a completely different feeling than when she is ordered to wait for you here.
Especially when this kind of order is inviolable, Zhao Rang even feels a little humiliated.
So he asked coldly:
"How do you know when I'm going to go down the mountain?"
The senior sister pursed her lips and did not answer.
This look seems to say:
"Since he is the acting head of the sect, then he will naturally know everything that happens on Baihe Mountain."
Immediately, he led Zhao Rang towards the fork in the side with his right hand.
"Where is this going?"
Zhao Rang asked puzzled.
He knew that the junior brother of the White Crane Mountain, now that the acting head of the White Crane Mountain asked the senior sister to stand here and wait for him, was there any other arrangement.
"Go to the dwelling that the substitute has prepared for you, your wife has gone and is waiting for you."
Senior sister's words were said lightly.
In fact, Zhao Rang was mentally prepared that she would bite the word "wife" very hard to achieve the purpose of mocking him, but she did not do so.
But often there is more power in calm than in the upheaval of the earth.
These words are like a wooden thorn on a chopstick that has never been cleaned, pierced into the tiger's mouth. It's not fatal, but it's always uncomfortable.
But Zhao Rang suddenly thought about it the other way, what reason and position does this little senior sister have to mock herself?
Regardless of whether the wife is true or not.
And even if there were, what if?
Compared with Qingqing, who has known each other for many years and has befriended each other, the little senior sister who has only known each other for a few hours is really nothing.
Many times people feel that the ridicule they are subjected to is actually fighting against themselves.
"You can also get married in Baiheshan, right?"
Zhao Rang had nothing to say.
Since the word "wife" was mentioned, I simply went along with the conversation.
didn't say a word, but it was as if he was timid.
Although Zhao Rang no longer felt that the other party was deliberately mocking him, he had not stopped competing with him.
"Well, when the Baihe Mountain Dao inherited the mantle of Lu Zu, there was only the main road. Later, a very powerful ancestor came from the south and brought the Kun Dao Dao system, and then began to recruit female disciples. ”
Qian is a man, Kun is a woman.
But that's not what Zhao Rang cares about.
It's the sentence in my sister's words, "There is an ancestor from the south." ”
"The Kun Dao system of Baihe Mountain came from the south?"
Zhao Rang raised his voice.
The senior sister looked back at him in surprise, not understanding why he cared so much about this matter.
Zhao Rang saw her nodding and smiled slightly.
Senior Sister Fangcai's surprise turned into disgust......
However, Zhao Rang already has a thread in his heart, which can string all the beads that have been turned into incidents.
"Here it is."
In front of a small courtyard, the senior sister stopped.
Zhao Rang looked at it, but he didn't see anything special, and the location of the small courtyard was not remote, and there were many houses around.
The wind and snow are shaking on the top of the mountain, but the wind and sun are beautiful at the bottom of the mountain, and the autumn is high and cool.
There are many unknown wild flowers planted at the doorways of the houses around the courtyard, and there are wooden poles on both sides of the door that are deeply inserted into the soil, on which a few strong thin hemp ropes are pulled back and forth, and many washed robes are placed on them to dry. In the sun and autumn wind, the soaphorn exudes a faint mountain atmosphere, Zhao Rang took a deep breath, quite a bit of a supernatural feeling.
"What's ...... in the Mountains"
"There are no pine trees in Baihe Mountain, and now it's autumn."
Zhao Rangzheng wanted to sigh a few words, dropped the book bag, and was suddenly interrupted by his senior sister, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"I still have something to do, so I'll go first. If you have three meals, someone will bring them. If there is something, hang the apricot yellow flag in the house on the flagpole in the courtyard, and the fellow door on duty will come over when he sees it. ”
"Okay, thank you!"
Senior sister walked very neatly, and Zhao Rang didn't talk any more nonsense.
Pushing open the door, I entered the small courtyard and saw Qingqing at a glance.
She had already changed her clothes, dressed in the short fights of the handymen on Baihe Mountain, and was serving a slice of tomato in the southeast corner.
"You ......"
Beads of sweat hang on the hair, and it is inevitably messy.
Qingqing wiped her forehead with the back of her clean hand and forearm absentmindedly.
Seeing Zhao Rang coming in, he pointed to a pile of bamboo poles placed under the eaves at the door of the house and said:
"Get me two!"
Before Zhao Rang could get used to such a sudden change in Qingqing, he responded with a sneer, walked to the pile of bamboo poles, looked at them carefully for a moment, and pulled out the two that he felt were the smoothest and most straight.
"Give!"
"You're deliberately playing tricks on me?"
Instead of thanking her, Qingqing asked sharply, making Zhao Rang even more confused.
"What are you doing, it's not that you want two, this is still my careful choice!"
Qingqing saw that Zhao Rang was serious, and after thinking about it again, it was understandable that he would do such a thing.
waved his hand indiscriminately, signaled Zhao Rang to move away, came out of the tomato field by himself, walked to the pile of bamboo poles, and picked up a third.
"You said you wanted a lot, didn't you? Two ......"
Zhao Rang shook his head and complained.
Qingqing put all the bamboo poles in her arms on the ground before she spoke:
"When you say you drink two bottles of wine, do you really drink two bottles?"
Zhao Rang, who was choked at this time, couldn't speak, so he could only change the topic and say:
"What are you bothering with these tomatoes for?"
Qingqing was busy with the work in his hands, and replied without raising his head:
"I don't know who planted it, but as soon as I came in, I saw it staggering...... It bears a lot of fruit, and it's always a pity not to clean it up. ”
Zhao Rang said with a smile:
"I don't see you doing this!"
When the tomato grows to a certain height, a bamboo pole or wooden pole must be inserted two or three inches next to the root of each tree, and the main branches of the tomato are tied to it to provide support for its fruiting.
It's not easy to say, but it's not easy to cheer up.
It is difficult to support alone, and the bamboo pole next to each tomato must be fixed uniformly in the end, otherwise it will not last long, and it will still be crooked in the end......
Qingqing cleaned up this tomato field by herself, and Zhao Rang still admired it in his heart!
I can't help but be a little more curious about this girl.
"It's finally good, let's go! Go back to the house and say! ”
Qingqing clapped her hands, came out of the ground and picked up the water scoop floating on the water tank, flushed her hands, and looked at Zhao Rang again.
Zhao Rang felt that he hadn't done anything and didn't want to wash.
saw Qingqing's eyebrows raised, revealing that "it is not negotiable", so he had to step forward and rush his hands very reluctantly.
"Say, what are you going to say?"
The house was only half the size of the courtyard outside, and the furnishings were very simple, except for the bed, there was a table and four futons. On the table are several volumes of scriptures, a set of pen and ink, tea sets, incense burners, and so on.
Zhao Rang sat down cross-legged on the futon, but he didn't know what to say.
As soon as I entered the courtyard just now, I had a lot to say to Qingqing. As a result, the matter of serving tomatoes was interrupted, and his brain was stuck.
"The tea is freshly brewed."
Qingqing saw Zhao Rang sitting on the futon, so he pointed to the teapot whose spout was still steaming and said.
"I'm not thirsty yet."
Zhao Rang shook his head.
He didn't want anything else to affect his train of thought.
"That's right......"
"Why do you say we're two?"
Zhao Rang originally wanted to talk to her about going to Shi Shuzu on behalf of the head of the sect, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a large quilt and two pillows on the bed, and suddenly remembered that this was much more critical than that incident!
is good, how can you defile people's innocence in broad daylight?
Zhao Rang is a pure young man, and the matchmaker who came to the house to talk about matchmaking has never seen one, and suddenly a daughter-in-law pops up, and he can't accept it anyway!
"You think it's a bad name?"
Zhao Rang's head shook even more like a rattle, and he said in a loud voice:
"Not good."
"It's not just bad, it's just too bad!"
"It definitely doesn't get any worse than that!"
Zhao Rang denied it three times in one breath, but Qingqing still looked calm.
After Zhao Rang finished speaking, she opened her mouth and said slowly:
"A wanted child of a family, a former dusty woman, walking outside, how can she be the most unobtrusive?"
Zhao Rang frowned and said:
"That's not a husband and wife either...... Brothers, sisters, friends, even brothers and sisters! Isn't that all good? What's more, no one knows about the two of us...... What was ...... before?"
Qingqing waited for Zhao Rang to finish complaining as usual before speaking:
"Let's not talk about the others, but on this mountain."
"What's going on in the mountains? Baiheshan worships Lu Zu and Lu Dongbin, and he is not the old man who cares about marriage. If you say that you are a husband and wife, you can give some luck? ”
Qingqing laughed out loud when she heard this:
"I've never seen you in such a hurry, it's pretty cute. It's like ......"
"Like what?"
Zhao Rang asked angrily.
"It's like a dog jumping off a wall!"
Zhao Rang was even more angry......
"It is true that Baihe Mountain worships Lu Zu, but the mountain is divided into two provinces, and the places where they live are far apart. If we don't say that we are husband and wife, but we have to travel to each other for more than half an hour to say something. If something really happens, wouldn't the daylilies be cold? ”
Zhao Rang was silent.
If it was for this reason, he could understand why Qingqing said this.
A girl should care more about such a thing.
There is no way to do it in a hurry.
Zhao Rang picked up the teapot, poured a little tea soup into each of the two teacups, soaked the cups, and then filled them up.
After pushing one of the cups in front of Qingqing, he picked up the teacup and drank it.
The spout of the teapot is no longer white, and the temperature in the entrance is just right.
Whenever Zhao Rang was silent, or used other actions to take on the blank space of not speaking, Qingqing knew that he had convinced him.
Men have a common problem with a hard mouth, let alone a man like Zhao Rang. Knowing mistakes, correcting mistakes, and not admitting mistakes, has always been like this.
"Drink, I'm not thirsty."
Now that Zhao Rang listened to her words, Qingqing also turned much gentler.
Most of the men in the world feel that they are tired of working hard, and that women are not tolerant and considerate of themselves. As everyone knows, sometimes even if you don't bow your head, just pour a cup of tea lightly, which is enough for the girl opposite to be happy for a long time.
"Okay, then wait until you're thirsty before drinking. I'll change you to a hot one when you're thirsty. ”
Zhao Rang said and put the teacup aside, and then took out the piece of cloth from his arms.
"Where did the dragon flag of the Dragon Sail Club come from?"
As soon as Qingqing saw this thing, she blurted out.
If you can blurt it out, it's absolutely true. Even if she rehearsed it countless times, she couldn't figure out when Zhao Rang would take out this thing, and there would definitely be a deviation in her emotions.
Zhao Rang was very satisfied with the content of Qingqing's words.
Of course, what he was more satisfied with was Qingqing's demeanor and tone when he said this just now.
The two pretended to be husband and wife in order to live together and have something to discuss.?
The basis of negotiation is trust, otherwise it will become two people comparing each other's hearts.
Qingqing has something to say, this is the foundation of building trust.
As a reciprocal, Zhao Rang also told Qingqing what happened at the top of the mountain just now.
"What does it mean to be in charge of the sect on behalf of the sect, someone has attacked the disciples of Baihe Mountain?"
Zhao Rang added:
"It's all young girls, and it's not just one, it's three."
Qingqing got up from the edge of the bed, sat on the futon opposite Zhao Rang, tapped the fragment of the flag with her knuckles, and said:
"How much do you know about Long Fan?"
Zhao asked his big index finger to pinch out a piece on the belly of his thumb and said:
"That's about it."
Qingqing was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Rang waving his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter how much you know. Even if Long Fan would move the base camp to Baihe Mountain, I don't think it's strange. ”
Qingqing asked rhetorically:
"Why do you say that?"
Zhao Rang closed the window with his backhand, and the room suddenly became dark, and after signaling Qingqing to come closer, Zhao Rang leaned in her ear, lowered his voice to the lowest, and said a simple word.
The expression on Qingqing's face changed from surprise at first to solemn, and then even more solemn.
The delicate irrelevance is twisted together, and it looks almost like a "sorrow" word from a distance.
Zhao Rang also sighed deeply.
After a long time, Qingqing said:
"If so, that's really ......"
"Terrible, isn't it?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Qingqing nodded.
The windows were reopened, and sunlight filled the room again.
Qingqing's face reflected the mottled sunlight penetrating in, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"But there's an upside to it, and when you fall asleep tonight, I'll try it."
Qingqing asked with a strange face:
"Why wait for me to fall asleep?"
赵力 says:
"Because I was prepared to leave you behind from the beginning. Treat you as my favour to you!
Qingqing sneered twice and asked:
"Is it my preferential treatment, or is it a woman's preferential treatment?"
Zhao Rang smiled and did not answer.
Qingqing glared at him viciously and said:
"I'm not going to fall asleep tonight, and you don't want to leave this room!"
At the same time as the words fell, the courtyard door outside the house was pushed open with a "creak".
"I ...... I'm in? ”
The childish voice didn't know whether to ask or inform.
Zhao Rang and Qingqing glanced at each other, and both of them heard who the owner of this voice was.
"Come in, little sister!"
Qingqing said politely.
For this little junior sister, whoever sees it will have a desire to protect, and she will be polite when she speaks unconsciously.
"Then I'm in......"
"Oops!"
The little junior sister exclaimed, but she called Zhao Rang and Qingqing out of the door.
I thought something had happened to her, but I didn't expect that she was just standing in front of the tomato field that had been cleaned up by Qingqing.
"What are you fuss about?"
"I was going to clean up this tomato after evening class today, I didn't expect it to be cleaned up so well by Sister Qingqing!"
Hearing this, Qingqing walked past her, stretched out her hand and picked a tomato that was already ripe, handed it to the little junior sister, and said:
"Taste it, it shouldn't be sour!"
The little junior sister thanked happily, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming, and said:
"Today is my flower delivery girl, come, this is today's flower."
Zhao Rang took it and found that it was a small flower that he had never seen before.
"What is this flower called?"
The little sister replied:
"Vermilion lips."
Zhao Rang couldn't help but be speechless.
He didn't expect that there would be such a dusty flower name on the fairy-like White Crane Mountain.
Even if its real name is like this, when it goes to Baihe Mountain, it should be changed.
The little junior sister saw that Zhao Rang didn't seem to know much about this, so she explained:
"Most flowers have a bone in the middle, and the flower disc is round. But the flowers of the vermilion lip flower, like most orchids, are the same from left to right. The name is derived from the part that resembles a vermilion lip under the flower. Do you know what it's for? ”
Zhao Rang and Qingqing both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"It is a place for the little bees to rest, and when the little bees come to collect honey, they will stop on the petals and enjoy the sweetness of the honey leisurely and comfortably."
"The so-called drop of vermilion hanging in the green shade is suspected to be the girl's lips."
