The twenty-fifth chapter: the beautiful sentences of the Qing Dynasty
It was a dark and windy night. The tall courtyard walls protected the regular and splendid buildings. The only ones higher were a few old trees. Under the cover of the night, a scorpion crawled silently.
Climbing up the trunk of the tree, he climbed up nimbly. When he reached the branch that extended beyond the courtyard wall, he suddenly loosened his legs and fell from the top to the ground.
Look again, she is a living woman.
"If you don't watch carefully, the whole house is noisy all day long, and there is no defense. The most noisy one is the young master. You have to think carefully, if it is a more well-behaved child, you have to take that guy with you. We
But no one will help you."
"I know, stop talking nonsense."
She Ji leaned against the wall. This wall faced a narrow alley. No one was passing by now, so it was very quiet. His voice was so low that he could not even wake up the birds sleeping peacefully in their nests.
"But there are people watching at night. It's impossible to go in directly from here. There is a gap under the main door, one turn wide, which can definitely fit a snake. But there is a big yellow dog at the door. It is fierce and ugly. You have to be careful.
.”
"Where is he?"
"There is a separate newly built small building in the deep courtyard. It is four stories high and is the tallest building in the entire courtyard. Although the young master is not that kind of playboy, he has an extremely vicious mouth. Even I am not like that.
You know, at that age, he can easily grab someone's wound and rip it out, let alone someone who has no grievance or enmity. This is the most unbelievable thing."
Xie Yan said, walking with him towards the main entrance. She Ji listened silently and said calmly:
"For example?"
"He kept saying that those servants were slackers, scoundrels, losers, damned thieves, and thieves who stole wages; he also caught a young boy and bullied him, and if he didn't go along with his wishes, he mentioned his dead mother;
It only causes problems for people,
If he can't do it, he will be extremely humiliated and every word will hurt him. He has no way to talk and has no rules in front of his elders. Also: at the dinner table tonight, a clumsy maid accidentally spilled some water for cleaning hands, and he backhanded
Will
The scalding hot tea was poured back on her face without even looking at it. The maid just screamed and asked someone to take her away, which would probably burn off a layer of skin. But the child never made a fuss or got angry, no matter what.
He says no matter how mean words or does no matter how vicious things he does without changing his expression. It seems that he is really ungrateful. It stands to reason that what people say is to achieve their own goals, but he never seems to have any motive.
Sarcasm for the sake of being sarcastic."
"You are right, he has always been like that. But when he was a monster, he hurt people's lives just for the sake of hurting. When it comes to people, it is the same as knives and sorcery. They can hurt people completely, and their livers and intestines can be broken.
.But no matter what, all he can do now are those children's tricks."
"Now, you know what happened to him. The master of the pavilion has investigated it. It's human beings who have done this."
"It seems that his mother was not the principal wife before, so why did she force the principal wife to leave, so this kid followed his mother and turned into a phoenix? In the end, the principal wife became angry and became ill, and the principal wife's children were kicked out one by one.
"
"If your mother is so capable, then your son is certainly not a coward." Jie Yan teased.
The two people walked out of the alley and turned a corner, and no one appeared again. Only on the wall and the base of the wall, there was a purple-black scorpion and a winding snake stalking against the wall, making no sound.
He slipped into the door from behind the two guards who took turns yawning.
Sneaking into the grass. At this time, a sleeping big yellow dog suddenly raised its ears and smelled something strange. It stood up hastily and immediately discovered the two uninvited guests. It growled low in its throat.
He was scrolling, and his frowning brows looked fierce.
At this moment, a snake shadow suddenly stood up on the grass. The snake's body suddenly stood upright, and Nobuko let out a harsh hiss. At that moment, it seemed that some kind of huge and terrifying demonic shadow spread from the snake's body. Although it was just a blink of an eye.
It took a while, but the dog immediately let out a whine as if it had been beaten. Chuchu pitifully stepped back and retreated back to her kennel with her tail between her legs.
It was so easy to find a shelter for the young master. Until now, the small building was still brightly lit. At this time, everyone, no matter the rich or the common people, should have rested early, and he didn't know that he was messing around alone.
What. The two of them slipped in easily. The young master was tossing and turning in the bedroom on the third floor. I don’t know why the child couldn’t sleep. He was twelve or thirteen years old.
Now that you are a human being, do you need to be coaxed like a baby, or do you have a head full of stress like an adult? Who knows, maybe he is too busy and not tired at all to sleep. But this person not only can't sleep, but also
It seems unfair to torment others. But who has the energy? Everyone has been busy day after day and just wants to go back and rest. But they have to listen to the young master's order.
"If a drop of water falls from the bowl of water on your head, your head will also fall to the ground."
The man on the bed spoke lazily and turned over. A shivering young man stood next to the bed. The two people who appeared at the door without any warning could not see clearly. A golden needle flew away.
, nailed straight into the back of the child's neck. His eyes were covered in a thick, smoky black circle, and he suddenly fell down.
The bowl hit the ground and broke into pieces with a loud bang, water and porcelain shards splashed all over the floor.
Two pieces of ceramic slag burst onto the young master's couch. He stood up in a hurry, full of resentment, and shouted:
"Trash, are you hemiplegic? Just standing..."
He saw two strangers.
"Who are you?"
The twelve or thirteen-year-old young master immediately changed his words, but his words were calm. He didn't make any noise as if he was electrocuted, nor was he panicked or even lost his voice. He simply looked at them, calmly. I was really not surprised to see him at all.
, She Ji and Xie Yan looked at each other, walked into the house one after another, and came to his bed.
This house is very big, and almost the entire ground floor is open. But no matter how wide the space is, there is no clutter that can’t be filled. This floor is a mess, with order revealed in the disorder, and new disorder covered in the order.
, it looks like the kind of tidying up, messing up, tidying up again, messing up again. The cycle goes on and on, never getting tired of it, and never getting tired of it.
She Ji just stepped on the broken pieces of porcelain, making a cracking sound. But Xie Yan's feet were very quiet, as if she was so light that she was only an empty shell and was lifted up by a few pieces. The young man glanced at it and sneered.
:
"Hmph, you have to take off your shoes when entering my room. It's really disgusting to bring in the dirt from the courtyard. You have things that your mother didn't teach you, don't you understand this etiquette? I don't care who you are, here we are.
My territory must obey my rules."
The corners of his lips under the veil were barely raised, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
"It's really strange. Why don't you ask how the guards downstairs were taken down?"
"Didn't you show me all this?" He spread his hand and pointed at the boy on the ground who was about the same age, "I don't know if you are stupid or I am stupid for asking this kind of question."
This arrogant brat is really annoying. Walking on the street, I'm afraid no dog would be willing to take another look at him. She Ji laughed instead, but Jie Yan really didn't understand whether it was true joy or anger.
Very angry.
She Ji squatted beside the bed and looked at him with one side of her face. This boy was indeed similar in appearance to Lu Wu - maybe he was Lu Wu when he was a child. However, their meeting did not begin at that time.
She was convinced that this was by no means a spontaneous act.
I only feel this way selfishly, because he does have the shadow of the spider demon on his body. It can't be said that he has shrunk, but apart from his face, there is also that demeanor, that temperament, and this annoying energy that is all the same as that unreasonable one.
Spider spirits are no different.
He sighed slightly in his heart, but did not show it. Except for the fact that his skin color was as white and ordinary as a human being, the black mole under the corner of his lip was exactly the same as that of his former friend. He felt a little dazed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
, just watching quietly. He never had this opportunity before his old friend was alive.
She Ji never thought that this skin could overlap so easily with the shadow in his memory.
"What do you think of your father? Can you please stop looking at his body as if I'm dead? You really abide by your filial piety."
Xie Yan wanted to laugh a little bit, but when he thought that this ghost might make fun of him at the next moment, forget it. If he couldn't help it and ate him in front of She Ji, then this colleague
But I will never end it with myself. Lord Satsuki will be troubled.
She Ji slapped the brat on the head and rubbed it, magnanimously forgiving him for his rude words. Xie Yan knew very well that if this guy could bear it for a while, he would definitely not be able to bear it forever. Let's see how long he could hold it in.
Anyway, I brought it on myself. If I broke my tooth, of course I swallowed it myself.
The young master opened his hand unceremoniously.
"You can show more respect to your father. Do you know your father's last name?"
"I know, but it's not important." She Ji chuckled strangely, "Anyway, you won't need this name in the future?"
"Why? You have the final say? I like my name very much, especially my surname."
"Ah...that's it." Xie Yan, who couldn't bear to break the scene of the reunion of old friends, suddenly spoke up at this moment, "We do know. Your mother is a smart person, and she tried every means to sneak you into this house.
That was about five or six years ago. She is a smart person, and I am very interested. Why don't you take the time to say goodbye?"
"Do you want to kill me, her, or the owner of this yard?" The young master raised his eyebrows and easily said the words "killing" on his lips, "If it's the latter, I suggest that there will be debts before the injustice is done.
Lord, don't come to trouble me. You don't think I have any... so-called respect for him, do you? If you think too much, he is not my father at all."
This seemed to be something beyond the information they knew. She Ji and Xie Yan looked at each other briefly, then all looked at him again.
"What do you mean? He had a private meeting with your mother thirteen years ago. At that time, your mother was still an unknown figure. Later she had you. The previous mistress of this house was dismissed because she could not give birth to a son.
Your mother took the opportunity to bring you to the throne. Logically speaking, he must be your father. Otherwise, why would he be so good to you? Rich people must have found ways to prove their bloodline."
"I understand, you are really stupid. You only have a good face, but your brain is rotten." The expected ridicule was thrown at Jie Yan, and he said casually, "You can break any spell, no matter what the process of recognizing a relative is.
and information, and can also do tricks. I know my mother, she is not a smart person.
Mingren, but a lazy person, knows that selling one's body can make money. Who is my biological father? I don't care. Although my mother is stupid, she is very provocative. If I hadn't persuaded her to come here five years ago to get what she deserves
Yes, we two don’t know where to eat bran-fed vegetables. Tsk.”
The two visitors stopped talking. If this is true, it was indeed a miscalculation on their part. But can you believe the words of a twelve-year-old child?
