Chapter 324 Preparation
The streamer stopped in an instant, the curtain shrank silently, the candle flame was silent, and everything seemed to be still.
Kong Qing suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently flicked the coral bead earrings next to Luo Kui's ear, making a light and crisp sound, the beads were round and bright red, like a drop of blood falling in his heart, he sneered, and whispered in her ear: "So, it will start tomorrow." ”
Luo Kui was like being struck by lightning, she shivered fiercely, biting her lower lip without words, when it came to the end, no matter how perfect the preparation was, no matter how ruthless her heart was, it was in vain, her mind still collapsed in an instant.
She didn't know which foot to go out of the door first, she didn't know how to go upstairs, how to find her room, as if Du Heng shouted behind her, she was dazed and didn't know what to answer, she just quickly entered the house and closed the door, her legs were weak and she fell to the ground, hugged her knees and buried her head, her empty heart was beating wildly, her ears were buzzing in a panic, her eyes were closed, and tears were slanting from the corners of her eyes.
There was nothing to say all night, the next morning light was faint, rolled up the low-hanging bamboo curtain of Xiangfei, pushed open the window, there was a faint sound of cicadas in the shadow of the tree, the town was full of banyan trees, flowers were rare, and the cool morning breeze was full of green leaves and green grass.
Kong Qing pulled Wen Yuan early in the morning, went to see Luo Kui and Su Zi as promised, first took a look at Su Lingxian's injury, and found that the poison of the red-bellied pomfret entered the body, which was a little more serious than expected, and he immediately put away his contemptuous thoughts, and worked hard to heal with twelve points.
"Suzi, the poison of this red-bellied pomfret is a little heavier in her body, and it is a little tricky, only Chenjiao and my natal essence blood are a little insufficient. Kong Qing cut his pulse and said with a slight condensation.
Su Zi twisted his fingertips and said with a solemn expression: "What you said is right, I'm afraid that it will really be lit for three days, but it's such a remote town, I don't know if I can buy the things used to light the sun-gathering lantern." ”
Kong Qing raised her eyes over Su Zi's shoulder, her expression was gloomy, the corners of her lips hung down, and she looked at Luo Kui hiding in the dark shadow in the corner, and kept looking at her uneasy, before she withdrew her eyes, restrained the thought of sighing, and said calmly: "You first close the door and window, plug the window tightly, don't let the slightest wind leak in, I will go to the town with the third brother to see if we can get together the things we use, if not, then think of another idea." ”
When Fang was empty, Luo Kui always tensed her body and emotions, not a little relaxed, until the two left, she relaxed, picked up Zhang Xiudun and sat down, copied the beam carved copper kettle, poured a cup of hot tea, the hot tea fragrance overflowed from the long spout, which made people's hearts settle a little.
"What's wrong with you, you couldn't give up all day yesterday, and you don't have anything to say today. Su Zi touched the shallow blue under her eyes, and asked inexplicably, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Luo Kui held the tea cup, lowered her eyes and watched the leaves rise and fall in the green and yellow water, she didn't dare to raise her hand to look at Su Zi, lest she reveal any clues, and finally forced him to kill, she was a little weak-hearted, and said ominously: "It seems to be raining at night, the rain is too loud, and it is so noisy that I can't sleep." ”
Su Zi looked back and looked at the leaves of the banyan tree, which were indeed a little water-marked, like jade with clouds and mist in the morning light, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Did it rain last night, why didn't I listen." ”
"Yes, I watched Su Lingxian all night yesterday, and I really listened to it. Yun Liangjiang came in with a black lacquer flower tray, and put plain white porcelain dishes on it, just when he heard Su Zi's words, he hurriedly said.
Su Zi glanced at Yun Liangjiang and joked: "You are really interested, how did you feel that you were so attentive before." ”
Yun Liangjiang smiled embarrassedly and put the dishes on the round table.
It is different from Qingzhou, there are two meals a day, no dinner, and although breakfast is late, it has always been abundant, in addition to the common food such as hemp balls and door oil baked cakes, there are also plum blossom buns, green onion fragrant flower rolls, shredded chicken porridge with mushrooms and a plate of assorted eight treasure dishes, hibiscus tofu and mountain mushroom stewed cabbage heart.
Yun Liangjiang just held a wide-mouthed plum blossom bowl, rested it in front of Luo Kui, and said with a smile: "Your favorite buckwheat skin and bracken wonton, I specially asked the stove room to cook it for you." ”
The steaming soup is filled with yellow, orange, and orange oil flowers, green onions and yellow ginger shreds.
Luo Kui twitched the tip of her slightly sour nose, her nasal voice was a little heavy, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "It's so fragrant, in such a remote place, it took a lot of effort to have this bowl of wontons." ”
Yun Liang Jiang smiled loudly: "It's not bothersome, I'll be happy when you finish eating." ”
This town is far away from the city, it has always been cold and few people, ordinary people still live in sparse Lala, and there are even fewer immortal cultivators, there is no shop that sells the things used to cultivate immortals, Wen Yuan was dragged to the market by Kong Qingsheng, and said with a surprised face: "What we bring with us, don't you have the things used to light the sun-gathering lantern, don't say that it is burned for three days, that is, it is burned for thirty days, it is enough, and what else do you come out to buy." ”
Kong Qing pursed her thin lips tightly, her gloomy face was silent, and she pulled Wen Yuan to the ready-to-wear shop, and picked the big red butterflies in the shop to wear a floral shirt, and a red and gold silk pleated long skirt.
The color was dazzling enough to be eye-catching, Wen Yuan couldn't help but shake her head, and secretly sighed, she always wore it like a funeral, she would never wear such a bright dress.
As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw Kong Qing stretching out his hand at him, he was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "What are you doing?" ”
Kong Qing said short and neatly: "Silver." ”
Wen Yuan covered the bulging pouch and spit out two words: "No." ”
Kong Qing didn't make much verbal entanglement, hugged his clothes and left, walked to the door, the shopkeeper blocked his way, he rushed back and pointed backhanded: "Ask him for it." With that, he pushed open the shopkeeper and went out.
Wen Yuan stood in the shop dumbfounded, watching the shopkeeper and a few guys surrounding him, all of them were tigers with bears' waists, and they were unusually strong, so he had to honestly take out the silver before getting out.
He opened his mouth and was about to scold, but when he saw Kong Qing's bitter face, he weighed whether Kong Qing, who was anxious to provoke the dead face, would cause a punch and kick, and weighed how much he could protect under his fists and feet, and finally died down, obediently followed behind Kong Qing, and entered the jewelry store.
The two heads are buried in a dazzling pile of jewelry, and the most wealthy twisted gold and silver filigree inlaid with the southern red gold phoenix Chaoyang tassel hairpin was chosen.
Wen Yuan's eyes were almost stung by the bright gold and silver threads, and he continued to shake his head, such a dazzling hairpin, if she killed her, she wouldn't wear it, put it aside for the time being, he shook his hands, and continued to dig out the silver in pain.
The two of them walked down from shop to shop, and actually bought all the clothes, embroidered shoes, jewelry, hairpin rings, rouge gouache and other items, as well as a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles, and forcibly took out Wen Yuan's pouch, and finally panted and said: "Sixth, it's almost over, I'm tired, I don't have any silver, don't buy it."
A bunch of objects hugged by Kong Qing left and right, like a glorious log poking on the street, still pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wen Yuan took a breath, looked at this scene, and laughed again in an instant: "You pulled me out together, I came to prepare a dowry for her, it's redundant, she doesn't plan to marry you at all, don't you think you prepared these, and she will marry as soon as her heart softens." ”
This is the fast knife that kills people without seeing blood, poking at people's pain, Kongqing gritted his teeth, and said with a strong breath: "It's her business whether she marries or not, I always have to prepare everything, and I don't wronged her after all." ”
Wen Yuan tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing for the dragon and phoenix candle, I'm afraid that she will burn your thoughts." ”
The two of them talked and sighed, and after running all the way, they sweated under the scorching sun, and their clothes were wet and sticky to their bodies, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Walking to the front of the stilted building, Kong Qing stuffed all the objects into Wen Yuan's arms: "Third brother, you go to my house and set up these tents and red candles." ”
That thing was heavy, Wen Yuan was angry and funny, and shook his head again and again: "Where am I your third brother, it's almost your broken urge." ”
When the two returned, it was the time for lunch here, Kong Qing followed the fragrance of rice upstairs, and when he pushed the door, he saw Luo Kui Suzi and the two gathered around the round table, and the food had just been placed on the table, surrounded by a steaming white mist.
He calmly took out the items that had been prepared and laid them out one by one: "Fortunately, everything is ready, let's start with a meal." ”
Hearing the words start, Luo Kui shuddered slightly, put down the wenge wooden chopsticks in his hand, and was about to get up, but he saw Kongqing's eyes, so he had to say softly: "Suzi, Qing Gongzi, use it slowly." ”
"What are you doing, it's useless to eat. Suzi reached out and pulled Aoi Luo.
Luo Kui's moon-white dress was particularly sparse, and the haste and loneliness between her eyebrows and eyes were faint, as if she was looking at Kongqing, but her eyes were empty, and she didn't know where she fell, so she barely said calmly: "I'm sleepy and want to sleep." ”
"Just have some food, you still have to boil these days. Kong Qing opened his mouth with a blank expression, and there was a threat in his words.
Luo Kui shook slightly, struggling and desperately falling back into the chair, no longer having any appetite.
Kong Qing felt that he was too hateful, and his heart was a little soft, so he took a pair of chopsticks, gently put them in the Luokui bowl, and softened his posture and said: "No matter how worried you are, you must also take care of your body, so you can use some of it." ”
"Yes, yes, just eat. Su Zi noticed a hint of something unusual, and only thought that Luo Kui had a problem with Kong Qing, so he didn't think about it deeply, and hurriedly smiled and diverted the conversation, beckoning Kong Qing to eat.
A meal is like chewing wax, Luo Kui only ate a few bites, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a cup of tea and hid in the shadow under the window, motionless, and dried the tea until it was cold.
