Chapter 30: First Encounter
After a sleepless night, when Li Ge woke up the next day, he heard the sound of the master talking to someone outside the house. There was no rogue energy in Master's voice, but an extremely serious literati tone. The person who spoke to her was a female voice with a little vicissitudes of life, and it should be an old woman.
"Who is this old guy talking to in the morning?" muttered to himself, Li Ge took out a thick white robe from his baggage and put it on his body, then walked to the table and took out the willow branch in the teacup and bit it open, brushed it in his mouth with a small willow root like a wooden comb, and walked to a basin of water in the house to wash his face, and then pushed the door and walked out of the room.
At this time, there were three people sitting in the hall, and in addition to Old Man Lai, there were two people sitting on a bench opposite him. One of them looked to be an old woman who was over the age of six, she was wearing a dark gray plain thick robe, the black hair on her head was mixed with strands of silver, and under the vicissitudes of life, she had extremely delicate facial features, which was enough to prove that she must have been a beautiful embryo when she was young.
Beside the old woman sat a woman about seventeen or eighteen years of age, about the same age as Li Ge. The woman was wearing a white plain robe, and her figure was slender and concave. Her slender jade-like fingers were placed by the stove to keep warm, and her elegant and elegant face was not stained with the slightest fireworks in the mortal world, just like the fairy who fell into the mortal world. She looked at Li Ge who walked out of the door with a pair of beautiful eyes, looked at it casually, and then withdrew her gaze to the stove.
Such a stunning color, whether it is Li Ge or Zheng Qiang, has never been seen. Therefore, when he saw this fairy-like woman, the little heart in his chest jumped violently, and he stopped when he was about to step out of the door.
"Stinky boy, what are you doing there, do you want to pretend to be a statue?" Lai Laodao looked at his apprentice's expression, and laughed loudly, "Come and sit." ”
"Yes, Master. The young man in white responded obediently, walked to the master's side with his head down, and sat on the bench. At this time, he could feel his cheeks burning, his heart beating faster, and he couldn't help but bury his head even deeper.
"Changsheng, this is your apprentice. The old woman on the opposite side glanced at the young man who was sitting quietly beside Lao Dao with her head bowed.
"Yes, this is my apprentice Li Ge. Lai Laodao patted the apprentice's back, and immediately relieved the apprentice and said, "My apprentice has followed me to do penance in the mountains since he was a child, and he has not been in contact with many people, so his personality is relatively shy. ”
Hearing his master's words, Li Ge sighed in his heart, "It's better to be a master, in this embarrassing time, I can help myself out of the siege." ”
"Ge'er, what are you doing stupidly, call someone quickly. Lai Laodao patted the young man and introduced, "This is your Aunt Xuanying, and that is her niece and granddaughter Yurou." ”
"Aunt Hyun Young is good, Yu Judo is friendly. Liege, who had been a little calmer, got up and said hello.
"Li Dao is friendly. When the young man was about to sit down, Lin Yurou on the opposite side responded in a flat tone. Then he said, "Li Daoyou, my aunt and I just arrived in Jiangning this morning, and there are some things that need to be purchased in the city, I wonder if you would like to go with me?"
"Okay~" Hearing Lin Yurou's words, Li Ge replied without hesitation, and when he was about to get up, he thought of something again, scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile, "It's my first time coming to Jiangning, and I'm not familiar with this place at all." ”
"It's okay, I've lived here for a few years, let's go. The down-and-out woman said something flat, and then said hello to the two old men in the house and walked outside.
Looking at the woman's back, Li Ge smiled awkwardly, and also said hello to the two old men in the house and chased out.
"It seems that my humble apprentice, I'm afraid that I have taken a fancy to your niece and granddaughter, you see that they are talented and beautiful, and they are also compatible together. Lai Laodao looked at the two white figures that disappeared outside the door, his face was full of emotion.
"Although I made a marriage contract with you at that time, this marriage matter is also forced, so let them decide the affairs of the younger generations. ”
The two old men in the house felt a little bit and talked about the past. The handsome young man and the woman from the allure outside the house walked quietly on the path out of the house, without saying a word.
"Li Daoyou, I heard my aunt say that she made a marriage contract with your master back then. In fact, we cultivators should be pure-hearted and have few desires, these things of children's affection, I want to ......" Stepping out of the thaumaturgy pavilion, Lin Yurou looked at the young man beside him and said lightly.
"Well, I know. Li Ge pretended to be relaxed and nodded, and a trace of loneliness rose in his heart. Although the woman beside him was his first contact, let alone the slightest emotion, when she heard the woman's words, she was still a little lost in her heart.
The two stood for a long time on the spacious street, Li Ge looked at Lin Yu and said softly, "I understand what you mean, I haven't thought too much about these things like children's affection." Let's go, you can take me to have a good look at this Ming stay. ”
"Okay, then you can come with me. The woman smiled slightly, and her face, which was already captivating the country and the city, was even more charming at this time.
Looking at Lin Yurou's smiling face, Li Ge felt a sour feeling in his heart. Along the way, he silently followed the woman a foot away, and did not get closer to the slightest bit, because he knew in his heart that whether it was Zheng Qiang, who cherished his years, or Li Ge now, he was just an ordinary passerby.
"Li Daoyou, look, that's the Confucius Temple. Lin Yurou, who was strolling along the Qinhuai River, saw a temple not far away, turned her head and whispered to Li Ge behind her.
"It turns out that it is the Confucius Temple. Li Ge replied when he heard this, looking at the bustling flow of people by the river and in front of the temple, and his heart was full of emotion. Because this Confucius Temple was also here when he was still Zheng Qiang, the temple was surrounded by high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete, but now it is an antique wooden pavilion.
The two walked around the Confucius Temple, and then walked a little further, and came to a bridge, Lin Yurou held on to the railing of the bridge and looked at the Qinhuai River and fell into a trance.
"Yu judo friend, this bridge should be called Suzaku Bridge. A foot away, Li Ge stood upright and looked at the river, and there were a few pleasure boats floating in the river, and most of them were noble sons and rich ladies dressed in gorgeous brocade robes. The breeze blew the ends and headbands of the young man's hair, and his already handsome side face looked even more elegant at this time. Not far away, there are many rich daughters who play here, and after seeing the young people, they can't help but stop and gaze and watch them with nostalgia.
"That's right, this bridge is Suzaku Bridge. Lin Yurou replied softly, and then said, "If you don't mind, call me Yurou in the future." ”
"Okay, then you can call me Li Ge from now on. The young man smiled indifferently, and then said, "It's a little cold outside, let's go buy something and go back." ”
"Hmm!" Lin Yurou stepped down from the bridge, walked to Li Ge's side, and whispered, "My aunt and your master were actually supposed to be a couple, but something happened later, so they separated. Let's go, let's go shopping, and when we get back, they should finish talking about the old ones. ”
"Ah~ You said that my master and your aunt ......" Li Ge was stunned when he heard the whole person, he now knew why Lin Yurou pulled him out.
