Chapter 8: The Seven Clever Spirits Command the Messenger Comes to the East (1)

Two days later, the three of them returned to the Bead Chain Water Pavilion. They unloaded the goods in the hall www.biquge.info searched the entire attic and found no trace of Yao Guangzi. Pang Mingyang said strangely: "On such a cold day, where can the master go?" Shen Jun thought for a while, and smiled mysteriously: "I know where the old man is, come with me." Shen Jun led them out of the valley, walked more than a mile in the vast snow-capped mountains, and turned into a forest after descending the hillside.

The strange thing is that the leaves in the forest are still green, the humidity is around, there is no snow, and there are bursts of heat. After a while, I heard the sound of gurgling water, and the humidity and heat became heavier, and when I turned around a big tree, I saw that there was a pool of hot springs under the stone mountain in front of me, and hot water flowed out of the stone cracks, and the surrounding heat was dense and steaming, and the song also floated out of the mist.

"Oh, little Cuihua, oops, little Cuihua, the handsome little face is as beautiful as a flower, ah, my brother looks so drunk, ah. ”

The singing voice is full of enthusiasm, but unfortunately the five tones are incomplete, and the voice is out of tune, as if an old duck is calling. The three of them all heard Yao Guangzi's voice, Nangong Yuwan smiled, Shen Jun smiled and bent over, while Pang Mingyang did not laugh and stood solemnly with his hands down. Yao Guangzi turned his head when he heard the laughter, and scolded with a smile: "Rabbit cubs, when did you come back?" Pang Mingyang replied respectfully: "The disciples just came back, and because they couldn't find the master, they were brought here by the second junior brother." Yao Guangzi shrank into the hot water and said, "Donkey, how do you know that the teacher is here?" Shen Jun smiled: "The last time I took a bath here, you came over and said that this is the water from the upstream, and if you take a bath, how can you let the people downstream eat it, so that I can no longer take a bath here." But just as I was getting dressed and leaving, I found a wooden basin and a towel hidden in the bushes at your feet, old man, and I realized your sinister intentions. On such a cold day, this is the only hot spring to go, so it's hard to guess. ”

Yao Guangzi laughed dryly twice, and said, "It's better to wash one person than two people, you're dirty all day long, didn't you ruin this pool of hot water." Shen Jun smiled and said, "How long has the master been washing?" Yao Guangzi glared and said, "More than an hour, what does it matter to you?" Shen Jun said: "Didn't you come out halfway?" Yao Guangzi said: "No, what's your business?" Shen Jun smiled: "I haven't come out for so long, did I urinate in the pool, and I was embarrassed to say that I ruined the hot water." Yao Guangzi scolded: "Get out of the calf!" Shen Jun smiled while undressing: "Don't rush out first, since the master has taken the lead in taking a bath, how dare the disciple lag behind, there is nothing more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring on a snowy day." Yao Guangzi said: "Whoever wants to wash with you, don't take it off, get out." ”

With a "poof", Shen Jun jumped into the hot spring with his bare buttocks, and the splash covered Yao Guangzi's head like a big wave, and the already small white hair became even more sparse. Yao Guangzi wiped the water on his face and scolded: "Little bastard, how old you are and still diving bare, and you don't know how to wear a pair of pants." Shen Jun was embarrassed: "But my pants haven't been washed for a few days, yes, you reminded me, take the opportunity to wash my pants." The muscles on Yao Guangzi's face twitched a few times, silently took a towel to wrap around her body, and walked out of the pond. Shen Jun took his pants and scrubbed them in the pool, and said strangely: "Doesn't the old man wash it?" Yao Guangzi said while getting dressed: "Wash a fart, you won't come to be a teacher within a month." Shen Jun said: "How can it be so dirty, old man, you love to be clean too much." Yao Guangzi said: "It's that you are too dirty, by the way, did you three little bastards bring gifts for the teacher?" Pang Mingyang said: "I brought it all, please go back and take a look." Yao Guangzi smiled: "It's about the same, the little bastard who is still washing hurry up and come out and take the teacher to see your gift." Shen Jun floated lazily on the water, his back was warm, and the heat filled his limbs, softly, "Ah... It was indescribably comfortable, as if I hadn't heard it at all.

Yao Guangzi silently picked up a stone and smashed it at him. When he was about to hit him, Shen Jun's body suddenly sank into the water, dodged away, and then came out and shouted, "Dead old man! Oops! it hurts, it hurts. It turned out that Yao Guangzi threw another one, hitting him in the forehead, Yao Guangzi laughed and said: "It's good to know that it hurts, if you don't come up, don't come up again." Shen Jun cursed a few words of "dead old man" and crawled to the shore with his head covered.

The four masters and apprentices returned to the main hall of the Zhulian Water Pavilion, Yao Guangzi glanced at the large and small packages on the ground, and pretended to be careless: "What have you all bought for the teacher?" Pang Mingyang said: "We bought it separately, the disciple didn't know what the two junior disciples bought, and the disciple bought a pack of roast meat, three packs of dim sum, a jacket and a pair of cloth shoes for the master." As he spoke, he took it out and placed it on the table. Yao Guangzi "inspected" the goods one by one, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, it is the Huang family's barbecue that is the teacher's favorite, and the dim sum is also suitable for the teacher's appetite, and the clothes and shoes also fit." Pang Mingyang bowed and said, "It's good if the master likes it." ”

Yao Guangzi looked at Shen Jun with his afterglow and said, "What about yours?" Shen Jun said "oh", opened the package and began to search, Yao Guangzi peeked and saw that the baggage was full of strange gadgets, and said with interest: "These are all for the teacher?" Shen Jun hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this is all mine, yours should be in another bag." As he spoke, he opened a smaller bag, took out a stack of colorful things, and said with a smile: "You see how caring the disciple is, the last time I saw the master, there were a few holes in the back of the master's pants, and this time I made a special trip to buy you ten pairs of pants." You see, there are red, green, yellow, and flower colors, master... He saw that Yao Guangzi's face was ugly, his feet were shrunk back, and he was about to shake off his shoes, so he hurriedly said, "Wait, there's something else!"

Yao Guangzi took the round bottle, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "This is made of agate, it is worth a lot of money, what is it used for?" Shen Jun smiled: "Sorry old man, you boast that you are well-informed, you don't even know what this is, it's too old-fashioned." Yao Guangzi ignored him, carefully looked at the small bottle, and found that there were several small holes in the mouth of the bottle, and I didn't know what it was when I looked left and right. Nangong Yu sighed and said strangely: "Could this be a snuff bottle? This is a rare thing from the West, where did the second senior brother ask for it?" Shen Jun said: "Or the third junior brother has a vision, a new 'sea trade grocery store' has opened in Jinan City, I saw that this object is rare and bought it back, I only know that it is called a snuff bottle, but I don't know how to use it." Nangong Yu said: "Didn't the second senior brother buy snuff?" Shen Jun blinked and said, "What is snuff?" Nangong Yu said: "To put it simply, snuff is made by using fermented tobacco leaves with spices, buried in the ground and aged for several years, and then put into this snuff bottle. Many nobles in the capital like to play with this object. ”
