Chapter 15: The Old Man Comes
(Today's three watches, thank you for the tips yesterday)
When Su Changan opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the smoke swirling on the ceiling. Then he smelled a faint scent of sandalwood coming from the tip of his nose. He sat up with his hands on the bed. Looking around, I saw that there was an incense burner on the familiar table at the moment, with sandalwood sticking on it, and a wisp of green smoke floating upward.
This is where he lives in Tianlan, and his memory of what happened last night has become a little blurry, and he only vaguely remembers that Yin Shan's turbid claw was about to be photographed, but he was stopped by Chu Xifeng, who suddenly arrived.
He shook his head, calmed down, and sensed slightly, the spiritual power in his body was a little empty, which seemed to be the reason for the excessive consumption yesterday. Feeling a little hungry, he lifted the covers, put on his boots, and got out of bed.
Squeak.
At that moment, the door to his room was pushed open.
An old man with a sleepy look in the corner of his eye walked in.
"Uncle Shi, are you here?" Su Changan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Hmm. Yu Heng nodded, he squinted his eyes and looked Su Changan up and down, as if to check if Su Changan had an arm removed or a thigh cut off in yesterday's battle.
In the end, he retracted his gaze with satisfaction and said, "Yesterday, you had a good time?"
Yuheng's tone was very flat, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. Su Changan was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what Yuheng meant, so he thought about it and said truthfully: "It's not fun enough." ”
"Huh?" Su Changan's answer seemed to be a little unexpected by Yu Heng, his eyes seemed to be a little wider, but it still seemed that there was only a narrow slit. After he finished speaking, he walked to the table by himself, pulled out the wooden stool below and sat down naturally. Then he took a closer look at the burning sandalwood on the table. Suddenly, he turned his head with a teasing smile on his face, and said, "Yes, the ambergris from Loulan has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind." It is said that the royal family can have up to 100 pieces in the warehouse every year. Well, it seems that Suyu's kid is good to you, right?"
Maybe it's because of Yu Heng's teasing eyes, or maybe it's because of his strange tone. Su Changan's face suddenly turned crimson, and he touched his nose a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to pick up the conversation.
For his somewhat wooden apprentice, Yu Heng had long been surprised, he changed his words, and asked, "Come and tell me, why did you feel that you didn't have enough fun yesterday?"
"I haven't fought him yet. Su Changan said without thinking, and at the end, he seemed to be afraid that Yuheng would not know who he was in his mouth, so Su Changan tilted his head and tried to recall the name of "him". "Well, he seems to be called Du Hongchang. ”
"Then why do you want to fight him so much?" asked Yuheng again.
"He insulted his master. ”
"So you're going to fight him?"
"Yes. ”
"Then why didn't you fight again?"
"He didn't dare" Speaking of this, Su Changan hesitated slightly, he lowered his head, and asked with some hesitation: "Uncle Shi, shouldn't I fight them?"
Su Changan actually didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at this moment, but from Yuheng's expression, he really couldn't judge Yuheng's joy and anger. But he didn't want to make Yu Heng angry, after all, Yu Heng was very old.
But Yu Heng didn't answer his question, but said to himself: "He doesn't fight you because he knows he can't beat you." And you can't beat Yin Shan Xun either, why fight him?"
"He's going to fight me. Su Changan corrected.
"But you don't fight him either. Yu Heng glanced at Su Changan with slanted eyes.
"He wanted me to admit my mistake, but I didn't think I was wrong. ”
"But didn't you just want to admit your mistake? And you're not wrong. ”
Su Changan was silent, he looked at Yu Heng suspiciously, he didn't quite understand what kind of deep meaning Yu Heng had in this passage, but he also understood that it seemed that Yu Heng wanted to tell him something.
Su Changan didn't like this kind of wit, because he didn't have such a smart mind to figure out the mystery.
So he asked, "Uncle Shi, what exactly do you want to say?"
Yu Heng stood up, he touched Su Changan's untreated messy hair with his wrinkled hand, and said, "What I want to say is that this is your way." ”
"My way?" Su Changan repeated, he thought about it carefully, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he raised his head and wanted to say this. only to find that Yu Heng had long since disappeared.
Su Changan scratched the back of his head, and sighed in his heart that his uncle and ancestor were really elusive.
Su Changan went out of the door, had some breakfast, and was about to go to the martial arts arena to find Chu Xifeng to start your practice today, but he heard a knock on the door of the courtyard.
Su Changan felt strange, he had been in Tianlan for two months, and no outsiders had ever come here.
Didn't the people from the Eight Desolations Courtyard come to look for trouble yesterday? Su Changan secretly guessed. He guessed this in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop, and he walked to the courtyard gate, hesitated slightly, and still opened the door.
But unexpectedly, it was four familiar faces that caught the eye.
"Momo!" Su Changan exclaimed, but as soon as this remark came out, he felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly continued: "Brother Gu, Brother Ji, Brother Lin, why are you here." ”
This person is officially Su Changan's classmate Gu Ning Momo in Changmen.
"Why, when you entered the No. 1 Academy in Chang'an, you won't let me, fellow villagers, come to see you?" Momo smiled at him, revealing the cute little tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth.
Su Changan's face was a little hot for no reason. He just wanted to say something, but he saw Ji Dao come over with a big grin, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said, "You can do it, I heard that yesterday the General Star Society defeated seven with one enemy, so that the guy named Du Hongchang didn't dare to do anything with you." ”
After the incident in Youyunling, everyone's relationship has improved a lot, especially Ji Dao, this guy and Su Changan have also released their previous suspicions, and the two have become familiar with each other. So Su Changan was not surprised to make such an intimate move.
It's just that his praise made Su Changan a little embarrassed, but he inevitably had a little joy in his heart. Although Su Changan's original intention yesterday was just to teach the guy who spoke disrespectfully to his master, after all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he was naturally instinctively happy in his heart for the praise of others.
"Brother Su, aren't you going to invite us in and sit?" At this time, Gu Ning, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly spoke.
He is still the Gu Ning in Su Changan's memory, gentle and elegant, with a warm smile.
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, only then did he come to his senses and hurriedly pulled everyone into the academy.
"This is the First Academy of Chang'an? It looks so ordinary, it's not as good as Brother Gu's Kunlun Academy. Su Mo looked at it curiously and said.
But only after she finished speaking, she realized that this seemed inappropriate, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. only showed those big black eyes, looking at everyone innocently.
Gu Ning seemed to blame, but in fact, he glanced at Su Mo with doting, and hurriedly explained to Su Changan: "Brother Su, don't blame, Momo, she has always been like this, you don't have to go to your heart." ”
Su Changan shook his head and said, "Momo is telling the truth, when I first came, I also felt that it was a little tattered here. ”
Su Changan's reputation was boosted yesterday, and everyone still had concerns in their hearts. But seeing Su Changan so generous, he immediately let go of the estrangement in his heart. In addition, everyone is a fellow villager, and they are in the same place at this time, so they feel even more cordial in their hearts. For a while, everyone opened the chatterbox, talking and laughing all the way. Even Lin Ru, who has always been dull, will interject a sentence or two from time to time.
Everyone was talking, and suddenly the girl in red ran in front of her for a while, she panted and came to Su Chang'an's side, and said to Su Chang'an: "Hey, why did you go, Senior Chu is looking for you! I was injured so much yesterday, and I don't have a good rest, what are you running around!"
The girl's words seemed to be very unpleasant, but it was not difficult to hear the concern in her tone.
"Senior sister, my friend is here, so" Su Changan scratched his head in embarrassment.
At this time, Xiahou Shuyu found that Su Changan was accompanied by several teenagers and girls of the same age as him. Her face flushed, after all, she was the princess of Da Wei, and she had always been polite and decent in front of outsiders. Now that she was showing such an unbearable side in front of everyone, she couldn't help but be angry from her heart, and glanced at Su Changan fiercely with her eyes, and naturally blamed him for all the mistakes.
"This is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Gu Ning, who reacted, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted towards Xiahou Shuyu.
As everyone knows, Tianlan Academy recruited two students, one is Su Chang'an, and the other is Xiahou Shuyu, the eldest princess of Great Wei. So it is not difficult for Gu Ning to guess the identity of the person.
Everyone reacted when they heard this, and hurriedly saluted Xiahou Shuyu.
It seems that he has not recovered from the accident just now, and Xiahou Shuyu is still blushing. She returned the salute to everyone one by one, and her appearance was very similar to the ladies Su Changan had seen in the book.
Never thought that his senior sister would have such a side, Su Changan couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
"Look at what!" Xiahou Shuyu looked at Su Changan, who looked incredible, and became more and more dissatisfied in her heart, she glanced at him, and said: "Still stunned, Senior Chu has been waiting for you on the martial arts platform for a long time, so don't go quickly." ”
When Su Changan heard this, his face changed, he had always respected Chu Xifeng, and if Chu Xifeng hadn't arrived in time yesterday, the consequences would have been unimaginable. But Chu Xifeng's sternness made Su Changan feel palpitated, and now that he had been delayed for so long, if he wanted to come and go to him, he would inevitably be scolded.
With a bitter face, he said to Gu Ning and the others: "You wait for me for a while, and I'll go see Senior Chu." ”
