Chapter 206: The Black Line on the Left Finger
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, when the first golden morning light shone on the window, there was a soft knock on the door of the room from outside.
Knock Knock –
Then, a gentle voice that had never been heard before came through the thin door.
"Luoyang, it's time to get up, I have to accompany Master to the temple to participate in the Lantern Festival worship ceremony this morning, and you have to report to the research institute in the afternoon."
Outside the door, Senior Brother Wu Fengxing grabbed two large shiny aluminum basins with one hand, and with the other hand, he bent his index finger and landed on the white door, and knocked lightly twice.
I leaned my ear and pressed it to the door, and listened to the movement in the house......
There was no movement at all.
In the past, Wu Fengxing, the senior brother who would be leaning on the door railing, would reach out and unscrew the door, take out the two large aluminum basins, wave his arms vigorously, and slam the two together, making a loud "clang" sound, waking Wu Luoyang up from his sweet dream.
However, today's senior brother Wu Fengxing did not do so.
Probably because the dowry effect of Xuanyi Tang to his son-in-law last night was not bad.
Wu Luoyang pulled up the quilt, turned to the side slightly, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
In the early morning of winter, the sun has just gotten up and has not yet covered the earth with heat, and she will not be able to die if she is alone, besides, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the day of working from 9 to 5, and if you want to stay in bed, you can only cherish the time on weekends.
Outside the door, senior brother Wu Fengxing still wanted to persuade him.
In the next second, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure going upstairs from the staircase, and he couldn't hold back for a moment, and immediately unscrewed Wu Luoyang's door to ventilate the news-
"Quick, your sister is upstairs!"
What?!
Wu Luoyang opened his eyes suddenly, sat up wrapped in the quilt, turned his head to look at the cold figure that appeared at the door, and suddenly fell asleep.
Senior brother Wu Fengxing was afraid that it would affect the fish pond, so he turned around and left first.
"Early~"
Wu Luoyang's smiling face was like a flower, and he lifted the quilt as if he was about to get up.
"Give you three minutes to go downstairs."
Senior sister Wu Baiyun didn't enter the door, she stood at the door with her hands on her hips, stared coldly at Wu Luoyang, who was sitting on the bed with a hippie smile, and turned to leave.
Three minutes?
The smile on the corner of Wu Luoyang's mouth froze.
Doctors suggest that in theory, brush your teeth for at least three minutes to understand it.
Had breakfast.
Wu Luoyang carried a bamboo basket containing sacrifices in both hands and accompanied his master Wu Leiting to the temple to worship and pray for blessings.
Every year, activities are held in the Lantern Festival Temple, and the master is invited to attend the blessing ceremony every year, and Wu Luoyang naturally has to go, after all, she is a disciple of the master.
Wu Luoyang and his master Wu Leiting had just arrived at the temple, and they happened to meet Du Hongyuan walking over with Du Surui.
"Master Thunder, it's early."
Du Hongyuan was dressed in a black robe, with a happy smile on his face, looking full of energy, and came over to say hello first.
Master Wu Leiting also stepped forward and responded politely with a smile: "Master Hongyuan, you are here too." ”
Master Wu Leiting and Du Hongyuan made a gesture of inviting each other, and the two talked as they walked.
"I heard you went into retreat the other day?"
Master Wu Leiting asked knowingly.
That Du Hongyuan laughed, and didn't hide it: "Yes, let yourself be clean for a few days." ”
Glancing at his apprentice beside him, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that I have been in retreat for a long time, and Su Rui has been running to Xuanyi Hall a lot, causing you trouble. ”
"Master Hongyuan is serious."
Master Wu Leiting smiled heartily, "It just so happened that in those days when Luoyang was running around, Su Rui picked up the car and sent it back, which troubled him." ”
"No trouble, no trouble."
Du Hongyuan smiled and waved his hand: "Luoyang and Su Rui are classmates and friends, and if you need to use a car, just open your mouth to tell him, just let Su Rui follow Luoyang to see the scenery everywhere, don't stay at home every day and play games, it is also annoying to watch." ”
The two masters who walked in front opened the commercial mutual praise and polite mode, and Wu Luoyang, who was following behind, listened to it boringly, and looked at the gongs and drums in the square, the dragon and lion dances, which were particularly lively.
Looking at his apprentice Du Surui, Du Hongyuan said bitterly: "Boys have to move, they can't lie down every day and make salted fish, right?" ”
"What the master said is that the apprentices should remember."
Du Surui replied humbly, and still had a gentlemanly demeanor in this black suit.
Turning to look at Wu Luoyang beside Wu Leiting, Du Hongyuan's eyes were first envious, and then he was accustomed to a pity in his eyes: "Master Thunder, I really envy you for having such a talented apprentice as Luoyang, but it's a pity, Luoyang is not a man, it's a pity." ”
Every time we meet, every time we lie down.
Wu Luoyang looked at the sky speechlessly.
Du Hongyuan's "pity" has been said for 24 years.
"Su Rui is also very good."
"Where, it's still not as good as your Luoyang......"
The two masters walked and talked as they entered the venue.
Wu Luoyang and Du Surui carried the bamboo basket in their hands, and the two of them went to the side one after the other to find a place, and took out the sacrifices and placed them on the table of the Eight Immortals.
"Classmate Wu, if you are a man, I bet that my master can go to Xuanyi Hall to dig the foot of the wall."
Du Surui put the sacrifice on the table and joked with Wu Luoyang on the side.
Wu Luoyang nodded, deeply convinced.
The last sacrifice was placed on the table, Wu Luoyang turned his head, faced Du Surui and said, "You say, what's the use of being a man?" Your master has envied my master for twenty-four years! In order to avoid lifelong regrets, it really can't be done, so ask him to change the old man to an apprentice. ”
The last suggestion was too lethal, and the smile on the corner of Du Surui's mouth twitched, and he was shot hard.
After a set of worship rituals, the event ended at noon.
It was still early to go home for dinner at noon, Du Surui asked Wu Luoyang to go to the back street of the temple to stroll, and the street lamps of the Lantern Festival were hung up and were very lively. Wu Luoyang, who likes to be lively, will never miss it.
"No, no."
In the afternoon, he was going to report to the research institute, but Wu Luoyang did not agree to Du Surui's invitation.
"Really?"
Du Surui didn't give up: "You want to miss the annual lantern?" ”
Wu Luoyang packed up the offerings on the table and put them in the basket, she was going to work in the afternoon, and it was not like him who could lie down at home and be a salted fish.
Not long after, Master Wu Leiting and Du Hongyuan came out of the back hall of the venue side by side, the two of them talked, glanced at the two of them, and walked towards Wu Luoyang and Du Surui.
"You kid, didn't you go shopping with Luoyang before you went out?"
Walking in front of Du Surui, Du Hongyuan stretched out his left hand to take the bamboo basket in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'll go back with Master Thunder, you two go." ”
Wu Luoyang's eyes drooped slightly, and it happened to fall on the middle finger of Du Hongyuan's left hand, slightly stunned.
"Luoyang She ......"
Du Surui was just about to say that Wu Luoyang didn't want to go.
Over there, Wu Luoyang had already interrupted him, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to visit the lanterns and come back later." ”
The latter sentence is said to Master Wu Leiting.
Of course, Master Wu Leiting had no opinion, reached out and took the bamboo basket handed by Wu Luoyang, casually told him to pay attention to safety, and then left with Du Hongyuan.
The two walked side by side towards the back street.
"Didn't you just go shopping for lanterns?"
Du Su Rui asked suspiciously.
In the sparsely populated gazebo on the corner of the street, Wu Luoyang crossed his hands in front of his chest, stood with his right shoulder leaning against the stone pillar, and his eyes fell on Du Surui's face in the same posture opposite.
"Have you asked your master about the oil-paper umbrella?"
Suddenly asked about this.
Du Surui was slightly stunned, and replied with a smile: "My master just came out of the customs this morning, and he rushed to the temple fair. ”
This means that he has not had time to ask.
Wu Luoyang pursed his lips and nodded, and asked again, "What's the matter with the black strip on the middle finger of your master's left hand?" ”
