Chapter 40: Serendipity
Luyuan is located in a deep valley at the foot of the West Mountain, with the mountain as a barrier, covers an area of dozens of acres, is a natural garden with stacked stones and sparse springs, ravines, and then carefully built by the sages, and now it is a private garden with beautiful scenery. More than ten years ago, Luyuan fell into the hands of Mo Shenzhou several times, and now it has become Mo Langyue's only residence in Beijing.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the heavy snow was sprinkled one after another, covering the sun, and there was no figure to be seen anywhere. Coupled with the fact that the weather is freezing and the location is deserted, no one comes here.
Mo Langyue rode west along the foothills of the mountain, and after walking for less than half an hour, she saw a step, and after a slight look, she flew off her horse and climbed the steps.
Halfway up the mountain, a cold wind suddenly swept by, and a faintly sad piano sound came.
At this time, there are still people going up the mountain in this kind of weather?
After a moment's hesitation, he led the snow and continued to walk up. When you reach the end of the stone steps, your eyes suddenly open up. This is a large platform, surrounded by pines and cypresses, interspersed with a few red plum trees. In the middle is a huge tomb, followed by a dense mass of small tombs. Not far from the big tomb, there is a stone pavilion, and in the pavilion, there is a turmeric figure slowly plucking the qin in the sound of wind and snow.
The familiar figure made Mo Langyue slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that in less than two hours, he saw Xiao Chengfeng again.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Xiao Chengfeng stood up and looked at the comer.
The white clothes are dusty, the white horses are like snow, and the snow is falling, if you don't identify him carefully, you really can't see the person. But after seeing it clearly, he was also stunned, never expecting that he would appear in front of Xiao Ge Lao's grave at this time.
After a slight stunned, Mo Langyue recovered, he nodded slightly at the stone pavilion, and then walked straight to the grave.
The central tomb here is a joint burial tomb, in which the old couple of Xiao Ge are buried. Then there are the graves of Xiao Tuoyu, Xiao Baiyu and others, and then there are Xiao Sheng, Xiao Mo and others, and then there are some graves that don't even have names. There are an estimated seventy or eighty graves.
Mo Langyue silently glanced to the side, turned around and took out the worship object, and put it together with the original worship object in front of the tomb, then stood up and straightened his clothes, and respectfully leaned over and kowtowed three times.
Behind him, Xiao Chengfeng walked over slowly, and he bowed deeply to Xiao Ge Lao's grave. Then he gazed at the grave, sighed faintly, and said: "The unjust killing ten years ago changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and a poor generation of loyal ministers ended up like this. Fortunately, future generations have not forgotten his old man, and they will come to worship from time to time. ”
The corners of Mo Langyue's mouth hooked, and a meaningful smile was pulled.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao also came to worship?"
"What if not?"
Xiao Chengfeng sighed heavily, and then said: "It seems that we are all touched by Xiao Ge Lao and come here!"
Is it that these two people know as well as Spiegel in their hearts, but as soon as they say this, at least they have done enough work on the face, and they will not be so embarrassed to face to face.
Xiao Chengfeng nodded and smiled: "You and I can meet unexpectedly three times, which can be regarded as a kind of fate, why don't you enter the pavilion and talk about it?"
Mo Langyue nodded with a smile. Turning around and about to go to the pavilion, he suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps at the stairs. They looked at each other, a little surprised, and both looked down the steps.
In this snowy weather, few people go out, let alone come to such an inaccessible place, or early in the morning, ordinary people will not get up yet. It's weird that the two of them can meet together, but what's even stranger is that someone even rushed up the mountain early.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was not a single person, but a group of people coming up.
Mo Langyue was slightly stunned, and said, "Interesting, it seems that there are not only the two of us who come here." ”
"Yes, there are a lot of people who are cold and snowy. Who will they be? Brother Mo want to guess?" Xiao Chengfeng suddenly became interested, and he didn't go to the pavilion to avoid the snow, but stood in the snow with Mo Langyue, looking at the intersection of the mountain with interest.
"The younger brother has just come to Beijing, and he is not familiar with the person, how can he guess who it is? However, there should be thirteen people among the people who came, and one of them was fat. The rest all have martial arts, but they have different skills. ”
Listening to sound recognition, this is the most basic small skill that martial arts practitioners have, and most people will do it, but the difference is how far and how subtle the sound can be heard. Xiao Chengfeng naturally heard it. One of the people who were going up the mountain had a heavy sound of stepping on the snow, and the rest of the people were also different. It's just that he is still a little slower than Mo Langyue after all.
"Not bad, not bad!" Xiao Chengfeng nodded with a laugh and said, "Brother Tai is good at hearing, then let's see which heavyweight is coming." ”
"That's what I mean!"
The two of them looked at the intersection with four eyes, and after a while, they saw six shaking heads flashing at the intersection, gradually revealing their entire bodies. Seeing the person coming clearly, the two were stunned again.
A group of people slowly walked up surrounded by a cloaked, gorgeously dressed, and fat girl. Such an unsociable figure makes it difficult to forget at a glance, not to mention that she also has a prominent and delicate identity.
Yes, this blessed girl is none other than Lord Ying. The only blood of the late crown prince, the granddaughter of the former emperor, the niece of the emperor of the current dynasty, the royal nobles with a prominent background, and the pampered aristocratic lady.
With such an identity and such a figure, it is not uncommon to be concerned wherever you go!
Mo Langyue recognized it at a glance, and he couldn't help frowning slightly as he watched the group of people approaching.
Seeing Lord Yingjun, Xiao Chengfeng's originally playful face appeared with a bright smile. Racking his brains, he never thought that the person who came would be a royal person, and he was still a familiar county lord.
Zhu Yingying finally gasped and went up to the flat place, and when she looked up, she saw Mo Langyue and Xiao Chengfeng standing in the snow, looking at her and smiling. Her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ah...... How could it be you?"
Before Mo Langyue and them stepped forward to greet them, Zhu Yingying lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed towards them at a trot. She was overjoyed. Originally, it was early in the morning, and it was snowing heavily, and it was not Qingming, thinking that no one would come, so she got up early in the morning, pulled Mama Yun and Shui Sleeve and they came here to worship, but I didn't expect to not only meet acquaintances, but also touch the two, it is simply a day to go out to see joy.
"County lord beware!"
"County Lord, Weiyi?"
A group of people behind him made an uproar, and all of them moved, exclaiming while cautiously chasing after them.
Zhu Yingying is already fat, and it is not stable to walk the mountain road by herself, and she is still trotting on the snow at this time, and the difficulty can be imagined. The weight of the body is all on the feet, and the pressure of running, the foot is heavily trampled in the snow, and the overweight body is not very stable, but has a tendency to slide forward with an unstable center of gravity. Within a few steps, her body suddenly lost control and staggered forward.
"Ah...... Get out of the way!"
The moment Zhu Yingying fell, she only hoped that the two sons in front of her could avoid her in time, so as not to be pressed under her body as a meat pad.
Seeing that Zhu Yingying was about to fall to the ground, Mo Langyue and Xiao Chengfeng saw the opportunity quickly, not only did not dodge, but both reached out to help them.
Although the two of them had martial arts, they reacted quickly and stretched out their hands in time. But the snow is unusually smooth, not to mention Zhu Yingying's body shape, which is unshakable by ordinary and sturdy adult men. It's such a body type, one top of them two or three. This sudden rush slid down, and the force was several times stronger than usual, and the fat body was not stabilized by the force, but dragged the two of them backwards heavily.
"Ah......h
With a shrill shout, the three of them fell heavily on the snow with a 'poof'. Zhu Yingying only felt a shock in her head. I was dizzy, but I didn't feel any pain in my body. One is because her flesh is thick, and the other is because she is not directly on the snow at the moment, although the snow is thick, but if she falls under her weight, she will still fall into a lot of meat, and it is impossible not to feel it.
When Yun Gu and his party behind them caught up, the three of them were already lying properly on the snow. And Zhu Yingying pressed more than half of her body on Mo Langyue's body, and less than half of her body pressed on Xiao Chengfeng's body, but only a little snow was stained on her body.
Yun Gu and Shui Sleeve hurriedly stepped forward, and finally helped Zhu Yingying up, and then turned around to ask about the situation of the two. Fortunately, the snow was unusually soft, and the two of them were fine. It's just that after being pressed like this, the qi and blood are a little unstable.
Although they were a little embarrassed, Mo Langyue and Xiao Chengfeng tacitly didn't say anything, but just shook their heads slightly apologetically.
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't think I'd see you here, I'm so happy, it's just like that. ”
Zhu Yingying's face was slightly red, the scene just now was the most absurd scene she could remember, fortunately, she was flustered just now, she struggled to get up, and she had no time to care about her face. But facing the face at this time, Rao is Zhu Yingying is generous again, and she still blushes with shame. Although she tried her best to downplay what she had just done in her words, she was embarrassed to death deep in her heart.
To meet again, Zhu Yingying didn't expect it, and Mo Langyue and Xiao Chengfeng also didn't expect it. They didn't expect that the old Xiao Ge family, who was implicated in the Prince Jindan case, would still be remembered by the royal people. It was precisely because of the Jin Dan case that the prince of the year died at a young age, and then the crown princess was martyred, so far, the lord of Yingjun has also become an orphan without a father and mother. But now, a few years later, she still remembers to come to worship.
