Chapter Seventy-One-The Arrival of Guests in the Autumn Rain
The hour is still early, and the autumn rain continues, so there are few people at the entrance of Gaosheng Restaurant, and the shopkeeper sits on the threshold boredly, paying attention to the pedestrians in a hurry.
When his eyes went back and forth, Huo Ran saw a figure in the rain, coming straight towards the restaurant.
The shopkeeper hurriedly got up, patted the dust on his buttocks, nodded at the visitor and said, "Objectively, do you want to hit the tip or live in the store?"
Geng Huyuan instructed softly: "Find me a private room, and then have four appetizers and a pot of good wine." ”
The shopkeeper wanted to persuade the guests to sit in the lobby to eat and drink, but after thinking about it, there are not many people today anyway, so let the guests be happy.
He hesitated for a moment, and took Geng Huyuan to a private room on the second floor, with a sign of 'Shanhaiju' hanging at the door, which was very rich and magnificent.
After Geng Huyuan sat down, he listened attentively to the movements nearby, and after listening for a while, he didn't get the news he wanted, so he stared back at the bamboo chopsticks on the table, as if there was something remarkable engraved on the beautifully made bamboo chopsticks.
Just as Geng Huyuan was waiting, a tall white figure appeared in Nanhu Lane, knocking on the gate of the Meng Mansion.
The door was originally closed, but I heard a 'creak' sound, and half of my body stretched out from the crack in the door, it was Lao Han who came in the rain.
Lao Han looked at the figure outside the door and asked very politely, "Who is Childe looking for?"
The person who knocked on the door nodded slightly at Lao Han, and asked in a cold voice, "Is your master's surname Meng Mingran?"
Old Han shook his head and said: "Exactly, I don't know who the son's surname is? ”
The visitor smiled lightly and said very heartily: "I'm tired of reporting, just say that Lu Shen of the new town came to visit." ”
Old Han smiled apologetically, "Please wait here for a while, and the little one will report immediately." ”
"Good. ”
Old Han rushed into the rain and ran towards the main courtyard.
Lu Shen glanced at the front yard through the crack in the door, then slowly put away the umbrella in his hand and waited quietly.
After a while, Lao Han had already run out of the main courtyard, and when he arrived at the gate, his breath was already a little uneven.
He said intermittently: "Childe, my young master is sick in bed and can't come to greet him in person, please forgive me." ”
The corners of Lu Shen's mouth curled slightly, "It's okay, we don't need these vulgar etiquette between us." ”
Lao Han didn't say anything more, closed the door tightly, and took Lu Shen to the hall.
In the hall, Meng Ran's maid green screen was standing there vividly.
After Lao Han retreated, Green Screen took Lu Shenjing to Meng Ran's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Lu Shen looked at Meng Ran, who was pale, and did not have the joy and warmth of his old friends after the reunion, but said with a smile: "Young Master Meng, what's the matter?
Standing on the green screen on the side, he glanced at Lu Shen with a strange look in his eyes, and there was a bit of indescribable deep meaning in his eyes.
Meng Ran glanced at Lu Shen, and said angrily: "You better take care of yourself, don't let people ...... anymore"
Halfway through speaking, Meng Ran suddenly stopped and commanded at the green screen: "You go down first, I have something to say to Brother Lu." ”
The green screen saluted the two and prepared to leave.
Lu Shen pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I came all the way to see you, and I didn't even have a cup of tea?"
Meng Ran stretched his waist, did not give Lu Shen any face, and ordered: "Go down, he doesn't drink tea." ”
Green Screen stepped back with a smile.
Lu Shen clenched his fists and said in a fierce tone: "Is Young Master Meng itchy on the skin, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you a few more points?"
Meng Ran was indifferent to Lu Shen's threat, and snorted lightly: "If I wasn't injured, would you dare to say that?"
Lu Shen sneered: "Yo, the cultivation hasn't risen much, this temper is a lot bigger." Have you forgotten what it was like to be caught?"
Meng Ran's face was a little unnatural, but he didn't get angry, he just said coldly: "Isn't it all because of you? Besides, I hadn't started cultivating at that time, and if I met now, a few of them might not be able to stand well." ”
Lu Shen raised his eyebrows, and said with a strange expression: "Okay, it's all my fault, it's me who made you lose face, and I won't compensate you." ”
After speaking, Lu Shen pretended to give a salute, which made Meng Ran happy.
Meng Ran waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for this.
After Lu Shen finished the salute, he sighed and said, "Oh, it's all my fault, so much so that you were almost scared by Sister Hong and peed your pants." I'm in a bit of a hurry to come today, otherwise I'll get you a new set of clothes. ”
Meng Ran's face changed, and he asked softly, "Is Senior Red here too?"
Lu Shen laughed, pointed at Meng Ran, who had an ugly face, and said, "Look at your guts, shouldn't you be scared by Sister Hong?"
Meng Ran snorted lightly, but he didn't argue, he just asked seriously: "What realm has the cultivation of the red seniors reached?"
Lu Shen didn't answer directly, but just asked rhetorically, "Do you really want to know?"
Meng Ran bowed slightly.
Lu Shen smiled and said to the air, "Sister Hong, come in." ”
I only heard a 'squeak', the window opened and closed, and there was already a figure in the bedroom, it was a red girl dressed in red and covering her cheeks.
Meng Ran glared at Lu Shen, then bowed to the red girl, and said very respectfully: "Boy Meng Ran has seen the red senior. ”
When the red girl was about to speak, the long knife hanging on the wall of Meng Ran's bedroom trembled, and it was almost unsheathed.
Only two rapid collisions were heard, and there was already a figure in front of Meng Ran's bed, it was Li Haoran who came in a hurry, only to see that he was in a hurry, holding a long knife in his hand, and looked at the red shirt cautiously.
Meng Ran coughed lightly and said, "Senior, these two are friends. ”
Li Haoran turned his head and glared at Meng Ran, slowly gathered his qi, and slowly walked out of the bedroom.
After Li Haoran left, Meng Ran smiled apologetically at Lu Shen and the red girl, "I'm sorry, I was plotted by someone two days ago, so Senior Li is very worried about my safety." ”
Lu Shen waved his hand and said, "It's a good thing, it means that someone cares about you." ”
He took a step forward, sat straight on the edge of the bed, punched Meng Ran on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Good boy, okay, where did you come from?"
Meng Ran smiled, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
Lu Shen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't you want to know Sister Hong's cultivation realm? ”
Meng Ran swallowed his saliva quietly and asked softly, "I don't know what kind of cultivation Senior Hong is?"
The red girl glanced at Lu Shen very vaguely, and after seeing Lu Shen blink her eyes slightly, she whispered, "Jiupin." ”
Meng Ran asked again: "Is it a martial arts practice?"
The red girl shook her head and denied it, but she didn't say what method she cultivated.
At this moment, a figure shot out of the cold and lonely long sky, stabbing diagonally towards the Nanhu Courtyard like a spear.
The face of the red girl who was originally standing changed suddenly, the robe on her body moved without wind, and she only heard a 'bang', she had broken through the window and stood in the courtyard.
After the 'boom', Meng Ran in the house only felt a thunder in his ears, which made him dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the room.
I saw that the wooden walls facing the courtyard were basically destroyed, and the planks hung there crookedly, as if drunk.
Meng Ran looked stupidly at the four figures standing in the courtyard through the tattered walls, it was Li Haoran, Lu Shen, the Red Girl, and Geng Huyuan, who had been out for a long time.
A cold wind blew, Meng Ran shivered, and shouted to the figure in the courtyard, "Hey..."
The four figures turned around in unison, looking at the trembling Meng Ran, the expressions on the faces of the four were wonderful and varied.
After a while, Geng Huyuan hugged his fist at the red girl, and kept apologizing: "I'm really embarrassed, I thought there was a thief with bad intentions, so I ......"
The red girl waved her hand, and when she was about to speak, she spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale instantly, thinking that she had suffered a lot of injuries.
The apology in Geng Huyuan's eyes was even worse, but he didn't know what to say, and his cheeks were a little red.
Li Haoran, who had a relaxed face, made a round: "Let's go into the house and say, it's not like that to get wet in the rain all the time here, and Meng Xiaozi can't blow the cold wind, it will aggravate his condition." ”
The remaining three nodded slightly.
After that, Lu Shen helped the red girl into the hall of the main courtyard, and Geng Huyuan hesitated for a moment, and followed behind the two.
Li Haoran walked through the broken wooden wall to Meng Ran's bed, and asked in a deep voice, "Meng boy, what should I do?"
Meng Ran thought for a moment, "The house in the front yard is not damaged, right?"
Li Haoran shook his head and said, "It's just that the house in the main courtyard was hit by the strength and was damaged a little bit, and the rest of the courtyard has no impact." ”
Meng Ran hurriedly asked, "What about the others?"
Li Haoran said: "I fainted." ”
Meng Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." I was tired of the seniors and moved the three maids to the next room next to Seinfeld, and I went to the first room in the West Wing. ”
Li Haoran nodded, wrapped Meng Ran in the quilt, and sent him to the front yard.
After the people in the house settled down, the five of them gathered in Meng Ran's new bedroom, lying down, standing and sitting, sitting naturally Li Haoran who looked lazy and the red girl who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
Meng Ran lay there quietly, not knowing what to say to ease the atmosphere, so he had to look directly at the beams of the house, as if there were beauties dancing and fairies preaching in the air.
Lu Shen looked at Meng Ran, who didn't speak, and glanced at him fiercely, then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, threw it on Meng Ran's body hatefully, and said angrily: "I was originally going to give you something, but I didn't expect it to be like this, I really hate it, what do you say?"
Meng Ran smiled awkwardly and squeaked: "I don't even know what happened, how can you blame me? Even if you want to solve the problem, you have to let me know what happened." ”
Lu Shen rolled his eyes, glanced at Meng Ran speechlessly, and stood there angrily, as if he had made up his mind not to deal with Meng Ran.
Li Haoran glanced at Meng Ran on the bed, and then at Lu Shen, with a playful smile on his face.
