Chapter 17: The family is embarrassed and embarrassed
The New Year is approaching, and every household in Anping Village is putting up lights.
Because of filial piety, some people have light yellow couplets on the doors, and some people don't have anything at all, although they are different, but they all follow the customs of their ancestors.
In the deserted cemetery next to the Xiao family, there are two graves after a year of wind and rain, the soil on the graves is much less, and the two tombstones are also crooked, and even the handwriting on them has been blurred, and it is impossible to see who is sleeping here.
In front of the tomb, Xiao Pingzhi had been standing for a long time, he looked at the two tombs in a daze, until the fireworks rose in the distant sky, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
He added new soil, inserted six thick incense sticks, took out the roasted Lingbao chicken from the ring, poured out the spirit wine given by the eldest brother, and after placing them neatly one by one, he knelt down heavily.
"My son is not filial, I haven't been here for a year......"
"Dad, you taste the wine that the fairy family drinks, it's delicious. ”
"Mother, you can also taste the chicken eaten by the fairy family, not to mention how delicious it is. Mother, my son fell in love with a girl......"
As he spoke, Xiao Ping's tears were like springs, and the tears were dripping down like broken threads, but he was still crying, laughing, laughing, and crying again.
"Mother, what does it feel like to like someone......"
"Dad, don't worry. My son has grown up!" Xiao Ping wiped his tears, his eyes were red and swollen.
He took out two tombstones of excellent material from the ring, stood in front of the two tombs, and after kowtowing again, he took a deep breath and walked in the direction of Xiaolingzong.
He didn't even go to the Xiao Mansion, where there was nothing to be nostalgic for.
The distance between the two places is not long or short, and with Xiao Pingzhi's current realm, it can also be said that he can come and go freely.
In the Xiaoling Sect, Xiao Pingzhi looked at the jade slip in his hand, and after being silent for a long time, he still pinched it gently.
"Yao'er, on New Year's Eve, do you still have friends coming to the door?"
Feng Canghai drank a glass of sake, was in a happy mood, looked at his daughter, and quipped: "Yao'er is dressed so beautifully, has a sweetheart?"
"Ah...... No. ”
"Not yet? When are you coming? Let Daddy check for you. Feng Canghai picked up another cup and threw it up.
"It's already here, I'm going to pick him up. ”
"The eighteenth change of the female university ~ the female university is not staying~" Feng Canghai picked up a mouthful of food and hummed a small tune.
As soon as Xiao Pingzhi finished tidying up his clothes, he saw a streamer from far and near, and when the figure appeared, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"If I can marry my sister, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. ”
Su Yao's face was slightly red when she heard this, and she said softly: "Let's go, my house is a little far away, and it's a little tall." ”
"Senior sister, it's not a little far and a little high, it's very far and very high. On the top of the mountain, Xiao Pingzhi looked at the scenery below and quipped.
"Let's go. ”
Su Yao took the lead in front of him, and when an attic with carved beams and pillars appeared, Xiao Pingzhi immediately became nervous.
"Senior sister, I'm so empty-handed, isn't it okay?"
"It's fine. ”
"No, no, no, yes. ”
Xiao Pingzhi suddenly remembered that there were a few Lingbao chickens left in the ring, so he took them all out in one go, at this time, three in his left hand and three in his right hand, so it was not magnificent.
Seeing this, Su Yao's face was a little strange, the news that his father lost Lingbao Ji a few years ago had already spread, and at this moment......
"No, you...... Let's put it away. ”
"Senior sister, you don't know, this is called colorful Lingbao chicken, the big man eats it, it is a good tonic, I have eaten a lot!"
"Exceptional. Xiao Ping's face was serious.
"Good. ”
Su Yao almost laughed, she quickly turned around, gently pushed open the exquisite door with a smile, walked through a long corridor with peaks and loops, and finally saw the main hall.
"Daddy. ”
"Uncle. ”
"Yao'er is back, let my father take a look......" Feng Canghai's voice stopped abruptly.
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was eerie.
The wine that Feng Canghai hadn't drunk was held in his hand, and the chicken Xiao Pingzhi was carrying ran away with a cluck.
"I disagree!"
Xiao Pingzhi took the chicken and turned his head and left.
"Wait. ”
Su Yao snorted lightly, she looked at her father, and then at Xiao Pingzhi, who was carrying a chicken with his back to her, and spoke anxiously.
"Dad, it's not what you think, this is Xiao Pingzhi, a disciple of the outer sect, his parents passed away and he was alone, I invited him to come to the house for the New Year. In previous years, it was not lively at all. ”
"Teacher, senior sister, you better let me go. "Xiao Pingzhi wants to cry without tears, but I have fed your father seven or eight times with pills.
"If it's not for my precious girl, come in. After a moment of silence, Feng Canghai drank the sake in his hand, his eyes blazing.
"Senior brother, let's go. ”
Xiao Ping sighed in his heart, turned around reluctantly, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the wind and the sea.
"I said you kid, bring me a gift with my chicken?"
Su Yao hid her face and chuckled, her voice was like a bell, which was very good.
Embarrassed.
Xiao Pingzhi stumbled in his steps, his face was red, no wonder my senior sister asked me to take the chicken back, but I kept insisting.
At this time, the Lingbao chicken he was holding in his hand was like an embarrassment of carrying six capital letters, and he didn't know what to say.
"This, that......"
"Alright, put the chickens away, and sit down. ”
Xiao Pingzhi finally put his hands back into the ring in embarrassment, but the Lingbao chicken on the plate in front of him made him sit on pins and needles.
"Do you know how to drink?"
Feng Canghai raised his eyebrows, and his tone was quite revenge.
"Dad, no, no, no. Uncle, the younger generation only learned it a few days ago. Xiao Pingzhi's tone trembled, and his forehead sweated.
"Nervous about what? I can still eat you. ”
Can you not be nervous! The sweat on Xiao Ping's back was already wet with his clothes, as if he had taken a hot shower with his clothes.
Yao'er poured wine and poured him full. ”
Feng Canghai's words fell, Su Yao got up and poured the wine separately, Xiao Pingzhi took the lead in picking up the wine glass and spoke nervously.
"Happy New Year, Uncle! Yao'er...... No, Senior Sister, Happy New Year!"
After Xiao Pingzhi finished speaking, he drank it all and sat down obediently. Subsequently, he was restless and went through the most difficult time of his life.
He kept drinking, just wanting to get himself drunk as quickly as possible, perhaps because he was nervous, and soon felt drunk.
"Yao'er is so beautiful, I must ...... I want to marry my family and be my wife. ”
When Su Yao heard this, her face was flushed, and there was a trace of expectation in her heart, which made her stunned, and she didn't know when it was born.
"You kid, what nonsense!" Feng Canghai's eyes widened.
"Yao'er, think, think about back then, hahaha......"
"Hahaha, when I thought of feeding your father pills in the New Year, I smashed them all in his face...... More than a hundred times. ”
Finally...... Relieved, after finishing the drunken words, Xiao Pingzhi lay on the table and fell asleep.
What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?
Feng Canghai covered his face and left, Su Yao blushed and was in a daze, the family was embarrassed and embarrassed.
This night, Xiao Pingzhi had a strange dream, he dreamed that Feng Canghai kept whipping him with a Lingbao chicken, and hit him more than a hundred times.
The next day, a rooster crowed, breaking the silence in the attic in the early morning.
Xiao Pingzhi opened his eyes, feeling extremely sore, he walked out of the room and looked at the figure in front of him, full of emotion, he didn't expect that she was the daughter of the peak master, but this surname, why is it different?
The pavilion in front stood alone in the snow, everything on both sides was covered in white, and Su Yao stood in the snow, with an intoxicated look on her beautiful face.
Coming to Su Yao's side, Xiao Pingzhi glanced at it quietly, then leaned down slightly, sniffed her hair gently, and stood quietly aside.
"What are you doing? ”
Su Yao turned sideways, her eyes wandered in her beautiful eyes, she looked at Xiao Pingzhi, and her voice was no longer cold.
"I'm thinking, the fragrance on this hair...... It was not the senior sister who carried me back to the room last night. Xiao Pingzhi said with a smile.
This bastard......
Su Yao didn't speak, her pretty face was slightly red, and the two stood quietly in the snow, the snowflakes kept falling down, and gradually together, their heads turned white.
"Xiao Pingzhi. ”
A voice came, Xiao Pingzhi's body stiffened, and the two turned around to see Feng Canghai standing there, with a faint trace of anger in his eyes.
"Daddy. ”
"Uncle. Xiao Pingzhi bowed deeply respectfully, and when he got up, he didn't dare to look up.
"The New Year has passed, should you go back?"
When the words fell, Su Yao immediately glared at Feng Canghai, and her big eyes seemed to be saying that there was no reason to drive people early in the morning.
"Yes, uncle, I'll go back. ”
"Go back and consolidate the realm, last night's breakthrough shouted earth-shattering, as if someone was beating him violently with a chicken. ”
Breakthrough?
Xiao Ping was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he felt it, he immediately determined that it was indeed a breakthrough, and a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart.
"Uncle, sister, I'm leaving. Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Xiao Pingzhi bowed separately, turned around and left.
"I don't know which bastard stole the peak monument of my Yunhai Peak, as well as the incense in the ding. ”
Xiao Pingzhi's footsteps paused, and when he took another step, he walked like flying, he did not go back to the Qingyun Cave Mansion, but walked towards the outer sect house.
On the originally deserted bluestone road, there were gradually more people. He didn't show up for a year, no one recognized Xiao Pingzhi, and when he looked at him again, he thought that there was just another new disciple of the outer sect.
Outside the house, he gently pushed the door of the house, and Xiao Pingzhi's face turned red after his six eyes met, only to hear the woman's screams and angry roars coming from inside the house.
"It's a good thing to disturb Lao Tzu, get out!"
Where to go?
Xiao Pingzhi stood quietly at the door, thinking for a long time, he was about to meet Senior Sister Scar, and when he came to the boulder again, he didn't see the cold woman.
"I've seen Senior Brother, may I ask Senior Brother, where did that Senior Sister with a scar on her face go?"
"Went out on a mission and died. ”
"Dead ......" Xiao Pingzhi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and walked in the direction of the miscellaneous servant again.
It's still a familiar scenery, but the old people are gone, and the new ones are replaced.
"Come out and see who's coming?"
"I've seen Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Lin. Looking around, Xiao Pingzhi didn't see this young man who had a heart of admiration for Senior Sister Scar.
"I followed Sister Scar on a mission, and both of them died, and now, I have become a deacon in the miscellaneous department. ”
"Don't talk about this, what good do you want to eat?"
Xiao Pingzhi shook his head, took out two jars of spiritual wine from the ring and handed them to Senior Brother Wang, then turned around and walked towards the Qingyun Cave Mansion.
"Senior brother, come back to play when you have time. ”
Xiao Pingzhi waved his hand.
In the Qingyun Cave Mansion, Xiao Pingzhi sat cross-legged, distraught, and even felt that he was a bad star entering the world and was alone...... I couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Rivers and rivers turn things into things, and people come from spring to autumn. ”
