Chapter 182: Brothers' Night Talk
Boxi said, "Brother, please come into the house with me to talk." Taking Borhu's hand, the two entered the house together.
There were three rooms in the house, and Boxi led Boerhu through the outhouse, entered one of the inner rooms and sat down, and shouted to the other inner room: "Brother Yi is here, don't you come to see it soon!"
After a loud noise, a woman came in, bowed to Boerhu, and Boxi said, "This is the cheap Bopi clan." ”
Boerhu got up and said, "Sister Xian doesn't have to be polite, they are all family." ”
Boxi said to the woman: "You go and prepare some wine and food to the guest room, and I will have a drink with my brother-in-law." ”
The woman turned to answer, and Boxi asked, "Why did Brother Xian come here late at night?"
Boerhu said: "The matter is urgent, and there is a character who needs to be sure to Brother Xian." ”
Boxi asked, "Who is the labor brother who personally inquires?" As he spoke, he handed the warm tea in his hand to Boerhu.
Boerhu took the warm tea, took a big sip, and said, "This person is amazing, he is a polymath of your country." ”
Boxi said: "A few days ago, the village posted a notice, saying that your country's national teacher wants to compete with my country's erudite teacher, does it have something to do with my brother?"
Boer Hu said: "If the national teacher loses the skill, our clan will have to pay two thousand slaves, and the stakes are very high." So I would like to ask Brother Xian the details of the birth of this polymath. ”
Bo Xi said: "Master Polymath and I have been neighbors, I have met a few times, it is said that Master Polymath is an important minister of our country, I should not say long and short, but since my brother is here in person, I will tell my brother." ”
Boer Hu said: "Thank you for your righteousness." ”
Bo Xi said: "Master Erudite was born in the woods west of the city, and some people in the woods had seen tigers in the woods before he was born, and the tigers disappeared after he was born. Moreover, the erudite master was personally invited by King Yan from the woods to assist the court. ”
Boerhu said: "This news, the caravan you sent a few years ago told me, it is said that this polymath is still a strong man. ”
Boxi said: "There is indeed this legend, General Liang Jin you know, I heard that General Liang's strength is not as good as that of Erudite." ”
Boer Hu said: "There is also a legend that there is a Feilai Peak in the woods in the western suburbs, and the immortals on the Feilai Peak are infested and presented with a peerless tiger skin from King Yan, can the virtuous brother know?"
Boxi said: "Where did the legend come from, I haven't heard of this." I think I also heard the news at the teahouse. It is said that the roads around the forest have been blocked by the soldiers and the inner government soldiers, and no unrelated people are allowed to enter the woods, and there is no mercy for violators, could it be that there is a fairy mountain at the northern end of the forest?"
Boerhu said: "This news was told to us by King Yan, and we can't tell if it's true or not, so I'm in a hurry to find Brother Xian, it's true." ”
Bo Xi said: "If the news comes out of King Yan's mouth, maybe it's true, the forest has been blocked for a month, could it be that the immortal mountain that appeared during this period?"
Boer Hu said: "If there is really an immortal mountain, this polymath is from the immortal mountain?"
Bo Xi said: "No, this polymath is said to have grown up in the woods since he was a child, how can it be related to the fairy mountain, it's just that the time when the polymath was born, it was the days when the woods were blocked." ”
Boer Hu said: "Could the erudite master be the tiger and have the Tao?"
Boxi thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say, after the birth of the erudite master, the tiger never appeared again. ”
While he was talking, Boxi's wife walked in and said, "It's all ready, go eat while it's hot." ”
Boerhu said: "Thank you, brother and sister." He got up and followed Boxi to an ear room, which was already lit with a lamp. On a table in the room was a plate of roast chicken, a plate of stewed mutton, the roast chicken had been torn open, it looked like it had just been heated, and next to it was a copper kettle, two wine bottles, and two cutlery.
The two sat down on their knees, and Boxi added wine to the wine bottle from the copper kettle, and the two began to talk while eating.
Borhu asked, "When did this soldier's blockade of the woods start and end?"
Boxi said: "When it started, I didn't pay attention to it, I don't know very well. Later, when I heard the legend, I was also curious, and I went to the teahouse to listen to the news to pass the time, only to learn that the road into the woods had been blocked. But to end the blockade, I know that it was more than ten days after the birth of the polymath that lifted the blockade. ”
Boerhu took a sip of wine, ate a mouthful of mutton, and said: "In this way, maybe this immortal mountain flew in, and the tiger demon couldn't hide, so it confusing the birth of King Yan?"
Boxi said: "I don't know why Brother Xian thinks that Master Polymath is a tiger demon and not an immortal?"
Boerhu said: "First, who has seen the intersection of immortals and mortals, so it is unlikely that the erudite master is an immortal." The second is ....... ”
At this time, Bopi entered the house with a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, put it on the table, and said, "Please try my handiwork, brother is late, these dishes are over, brother don't dislike them." ”
Boerhu hurriedly said: "Brother and sister are polite, I am grateful." ”
Bopi said: "Brother Xian, please use it slowly." After saying goodbye, Borhu left the house and closed the door.
Boerhu continued: "What I say below is only known to you and my brothers, and not to others. ”
Boxi said: "Got it, brother Xian, please speak." He also wanted to know whether the polymath was an immortal or a demon, if Yan Kingdom also had a fox spirit like Daji and accompany the king, wouldn't the people of Yan Kingdom be offended?
Boer Hu said: "The second is that today, my country's national teacher and the Erudite Master's Mansion tore their faces and injured the second lady of the Erudite Teacher's Mansion, Ying Ning, and the national teacher said that he saw Ying Ning's fox tail. ”
Boxi was shocked when he heard this, if there were really two goblins from Yan Kingdom, the people would be guilty in the future, and he hurriedly said: "Who else can confirm what Brother Xian said?"
Boerhu said: "The Great Chief said that he also saw a fluffy mass of things that looked like tails, but it was fleeting, and he didn't see clearly whether it was a tail or a leather suit. "This vixen is most afraid of showing its tail, and now it is hidden, and it is the fastest to react to where the tail is hidden.
Boxi said: "If that's the case, can't you just say that the second lady is a vixen?"
Boerhu said: "That's why I came to find the good brother to confirm the news." ”
Boxi said: "I also visited Polymath at the beginning, and it is really strange to think about it carefully. ”
Boerhu said: "What's strange?"
Boxi said: "I went to visit, and the housekeeper of the Erudite Master's Mansion said that the young lady was out, and she had to leave a post to make an appointment." I later inquired with the celebrities who went with me, and it wasn't just us, even if those officials visited the erudite, they had to leave a post to make an appointment before they could meet the erudite. ”
Taking a sip of wine, Boxi continued: "At that time, I had a question, where can this polymath go out every day?"
Boer Hu said, "What does the virtuous brother think?" After speaking, he ate a few bites of scrambled eggs.
Bo Xi said: "There was also a strange thing in the Polymath Mansion, the famous idle in the city couldn't help but want to steal the Erudite Mansion, but he was given an inexplicable spell, and he forgot the past after waking up. After speaking, I ate a piece of roast chicken.
What kind of monster is the polymath, the two of them have to analyze it and draw conclusions.
