Chapter 684: The Night Banquet in the Deserted House
The range of Webster's Manor is very extensive, and there are several places that are luxuriously decorated, but now no one lives there, and in an area deep in the backyard, there is a large mansion that is lit at the moment, and through the cracks in the doors and windows and the broken window paper, you can see a shadow inside.
Although the little paper crane is very small, it flies very fast, and then leaves Ji Yuan's side, and the next moment it has flown to the place where the lights are lit up, the whole process is silent, and finally falls on the window frame outside the house, looking into the house through a hole in the broken window paper, it is not lively, and from a small door behind there are constantly guests entering the house.
There was a large round table in the room, on which many delicacies were already arranged, and some people were moving chairs and stools, and some people were carrying a hot basin to adjust the charcoal fire.
"Come on, come on, the chair is straight. "Put the hot pot here, and you need it over there. ”
The man who had been in the room was a very rich-looking man, with a fair face and a mustache, and a smile all over his face.
"Hahahaha, little brother is late!"
A man trotted out of the small door at the back, stood up straight again in front of the door, and bowed to the man inside.
"Hahahaha, just in time, just in time, not late, hurry up, please come in, hurry up, please come in. ”
"A little gift, it's the roast meat of Hung Fu Ji!"
"Brother Xian's gift is just right for the occasion, hahaha, just right for the occasion, please come in!"
People inside and outside the house from greetings to bowing, etiquette links are not bad, but in the eyes of the little paper crane it seems so strange, first of all, the strangest is the walking posture, in fact, when the people outside the house bow their hands, they subconsciously bite the rope wrapped around the gift in their mouths, and salute with their free hands.
"Uncle, I'm here, look what I brought!"
There was also a young man who looked like a young man, dressed in a brocade robe woven from silk, and came from outside, carrying a jar in each hand, and shook it happily.
"I already smell the wine, there is a shortage of wine today, it's just in time, come in!"
"Come on, come on!"
......
There are twenty or thirty people who have arrived in the house, and the guests who have come one after another, most of them carry or carry things, mainly to eat, and occasionally there is nothing to bring, at this time, the faces of the other guests who have arrived in the house will immediately look ugly, but after greeting each other as usual, they still invite each other in, and there is no example of driving anyone away.
As the number of people increased, the atmosphere in the house was soon close to its peak, and the house was ready for a feast.
The small paper crane lay on both sides of the window hole with its wings, and a small head drilled into the window hole and stared at the situation inside, this large round table was indeed one size larger than the regular one, but at most there were twelve people, but nearly thirty people in the room were all crowded in front of a table, which seemed extremely funny.
What's even more exaggerated is that the table is full of delicacies and wine, and these twenty or thirty people who look at the beautifully dressed people are like they have never seen the world, and they are salivating at this table of good wine and good food.
"Well, then let's move the chopsticks!"
"Okay!" "Let's eat, let's eat!" "I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time. ”
"Eat, eat, I want chicken legs. "I want it too!"
"Pour wine, pour wine!"
All of a sudden, twenty or thirty people stretched out their chopsticks to the table together, each of them went to the dish they wanted to eat, and some of them started directly, the food was very exaggerated, and the wine jar was even more rumored to rush to pour wine.
Ji Yuan's footsteps were unhurried, as if walking leisurely to the outside of this backyard, and he saw from a distance that the hall of the mansion was brightly lit, and it was lively and lively.
Jin Jia followed behind Ji Yuan and still didn't say a word, and in his eyes, which almost never blinked, it seemed that not only the lights were reflected, but there were also some other breaths.
"See?"
"Back to the honor, there are all demons. ”
Ji Yuan shook his head.
"A demon is a demon, it's not a crime, at most it's a petty theft, let's go, let's go and knock on the door." ”
I am used to seeing the situation of the demons dancing and harming people in the land of Zuyue, and occasionally seeing a scene like this tonight, Ji Yuan also thinks it is very interesting.
With this thought, Ji Yuan directly led Jin Jia to the door of the mansion, glanced at the small paper crane lying on the window next to him, smiled and directly reached out and knocked lightly.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door, and although it was not loud, it spread throughout the house and outside, and the twenty or thirty people who were eating and drinking hot inside all stopped at once, and it was only less than a breath from the lively to the silent, and it could be seen that these people reacted keenly.
"Uh, there's a knock on the door?"
"I think so......" "I didn't smell anything......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was another knock on the door, and everyone inside looked at each other.
"Can't open the door?"
The rich man who had been in the room before put down the half of the chicken leg in his hand and wiped his hands on the edge of the table.
"Pack up your looks, I'll open the door!"
When the people in the house heard this, they looked at each other's eating demeanor, and quickly sat upright, helped up the chairs that had fallen to the ground, and wiped the greasy on their hands on their clothes.
At this time, the rich man had already arrived at the door, tidied up his clothes, looked outside the house through the broken window paper on the door, and saw a leisurely literati and a tall and mighty attendant.
"Squeak~~"
The moment the door opened, the white moonlight shining in from the outside seemed to temporarily overshadow the fire in the house, but if you look closely, the light outside is obviously dimmer than the inside, and you can take the feeling just now as an illusion.
"Well, who is this gentleman? What's the matter with coming here late at night?"
The rich man first saluted Ji Yuan, and then asked softly with a kind face, and everyone in the room, a pair of eyes looked at the door strangely, but there was no sound.
This kind of scene, if you face it to an ordinary person, you will definitely feel panicked, but Ji Yuan naturally doesn't care, just sweep the room, and then gently bow back to the rich man in front of him.
"The contemptible surname Ji, came to Luping City from other places, just because it was already night, the city gate was not opened, I saw such a big manor here, I wanted to come to spend the night, but I found that the manor was deserted, and I never thought that I could see the fire in the backyard, so I came here to see, if there is any disturbance, please also ask the master Haihan! If it is convenient, can you allow Ji to stay overnight?"
As Ji Yuan spoke, his eyes fell on the room, and he couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the mess on the table, and most of the clothes on the clothes of so many people were stained with oil.
"Well, here, Mr. wants to spend the night, just find a place to rest at will......"
The attention of the rich man and almost everyone in the house, three points is on Ji Yuan, and seven points are on Jin Jia, even if it is in this state now, even if the qi and blood shown are not as strong as a martial arts master, but Jin Jia still brings people a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored.
"Oh yes, if the two of you are hungry, you can also go to the banquet together, as the saying goes, you are a guest from afar......"
"Then respectful and indisobedient!"
Ji Yuan didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, he stepped into the house by himself, and Jin Jia also followed in, and the people near the outside of the house subconsciously stepped back a little, and gave up several chairs near Ji Yuan and Jin Jia.
Ji Yuan's eyes had already swept over everyone in the house, and he could see clearly what they were, which were actually a large litter of foxes, the most common adult animals.
Of course, these foxes can't be shapeshifting monsters, but they are illusion prosthetic bodies, and under the hem of their clothes, not a single fox tail can be contained, so they can only hide under their clothes.
"Yes, yes, a table full of delicious food, oh, and good wine!"
Ji Yuan walked to the table, glanced at the table, reached out and tore off a fairly clean chicken wing, and brought it to his mouth to nibble on a few bites.
At this time, the rich man also walked back, and he could see that everyone else in the room was complaining about him, so he had to play a round game.
"Sit, sit, sit, keep going, come, pour wine for the guests!"
Having said that, everyone had no choice but to sit back, fortunately, Ji Yuan did not occupy the seat, just stood aside and ate chicken wings, and the big man Jin Jia stood motionless behind Ji Yuan.
"Sir, I would like to give you a glass. "And this strong man, please drink. ”
The rich man handed over two wine glasses, Ji Yuan smiled and took them directly, and Jin Jia's arms hung down at his side, his face was expressionless and cold-eyed, he didn't move, the more he looked at it, the more frightening it became, the rich man stood beside Jin Jia and swallowed his saliva, not even daring to breathe.
At this time, Ji Yuan had already drunk all the wine in the cup, and because of the golden armor, the rich man was still frozen in place, and the others felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they who had been talking quietly many times more often also quieted down again.
Suddenly, there was a fierce roar from the window.
"Wow Wow...... Woo Woo Woo ......"
"Ahh
"Oops......" "Run!"
"Bang Bang ......" "Bang ......"
......
For a while, the people in the room fled in panic, some opened the small door on one side and crawled, some even rushed forward, and the clothes dried up in mid-air, and foxes jumped out of the door to escape in the darkness.
Ji Yuan turned his head to look at the direction of the window, a paper crane stretched out indoors was tilting its head, the dog barking just now was all due to the little paper crane, it knew that Hu Yun was very afraid of dog barking, judging from the reaction of the people here, many foxes may be afraid.
"I haven't said a word yet, but I've learned a lot in a mess!"
When Ji Yuan laughed and scolded like this, there was someone crying in front of him.
"Woo...... Sir, no, high, high, I haven't done anything to hurt heaven and reason, spare my life, spare my life......"
The rich man was still standing in front of Ji Yuan, it wasn't that he didn't want to run, in fact, he was one of the fastest reacting foxes, but he couldn't run away, Ji Yuan was stepping on his fox tail with one foot.
