The sound of fetching water in the courtyard woke Wei Changtian from his "Dream Road". It was still early and everything was as before.
The wine I drank last night has been absorbed. I took a deep breath, my mind was clear, and I didn't feel any discomfort.
However, Ning Yuke, who drank too much bad wine, would probably have a headache after waking up.
Oh, no, I almost forgot that she doesn't feel pain...
Wei Changtian shook his head, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the house.
There are already a few yellow leaves on the old trees in the courtyard, and a small figure is walking towards the penthouse holding a bucket high.
After it was imported, the weight of a bucket of water was nothing to Achun. The only thing was that she was still too short and had to lift the handle of the bucket to her chest to get the bucket off the ground.
The big bucket blocked most of her body. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought the bucket was moving on its own.
It's a bit funny indeed.
Wei Changtian had no intention of helping Achun. On the contrary, the little girl quickly put down the bucket after seeing him and shouted respectfully in a low voice:
"Master."
"Um."
Wei Changtian responded and turned his attention to Li Suyue who had just come in from the gate and the little boy beside him.
"Long blessing."
Li Suyue took two quick steps over and gave a gentle salute.
During this period of time, she has completely adapted to her "work" in Wei's house. After getting acquainted with Yuan'er and others, she speaks and acts much more naturally.
"Good morning, madam."
Wei Changtian nodded and said hello in a characteristic way of his previous life.
In fact, the ways of greeting "good morning" and "good evening" came from the West, and there was no such saying in ancient times.
However, because Wei Changtian was used to talking a lot, people around him got used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Ran'er, quickly salute the young master..."
Li Suyue gently pressed her son's head, but the latter's eyes kept staring at the big bucket in front of Achun.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly ran to the bucket with his short legs and patted his chest boldly.
It looked like he wanted to help Ah Chun carry water.
Li Suyue was a little helpless, but Wei Changtian was very interested.
In the eyes of the two people, the little boy struggled to carry the bucket, but the bucket did not move at all.
Wang Ran's little face immediately turned red, but no matter how hard he tried up, down, left, and right, the bucket seemed to have grown on the ground, and it didn't even sway.
"Let me do it."
Ah Chun didn't want him to waste any more effort, so he took the handle of the bucket and raised the bucket high.
"Master, Sister Yuan'er is waiting to boil water. I'll go over first."
"Well, go ahead."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and reached out to touch Wang Ran's head.
"You are still too young now. You will be able to carry it when you grow older."
"..."
The little boy turned his head and looked at Ah Chun, who was walking towards the penthouse with a wooden bucket in hand, with a very disappointed expression.
Wei Changtian stopped trying to persuade him, glanced at the bamboo basket Li Suyue was holding, and asked with a smile:
"Madam, is it a cooking cake?"
"yes."
Li Suyue opened the white cloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing the steaming cakes.
"I just baked them at home this morning."
"Haha, okay, I'll take one first!"
Wei Changtian immediately beamed with joy. He took one out of the basket and took a bite, filling his mouth with the aroma of sesame seeds.
The cooking cakes made by Li Suyue are the most tasteful food he has ever eaten since time travel. Since he ate it once in a while, he has eaten one or two of them every day.
Li Suyue couldn't understand why a noble man like Wei Changtian would like to eat cooking cakes, but at the same time he was very happy that the food he made was recognized by others, so he baked some every few days and never let Wei Changtian "break out of food."
"Huh? Did Madam add sugar this time?"
Wei Changtian took two bites and asked suddenly.
"Ah, let it go a little."
Li Suyue quickly replied: "I don't know if it suits the young master's taste. I also made a few without sugar. Do you want the young master..."
"No, it's quite delicious."
Wei Changtian nodded, and just as he was about to tell Li Suyue about making some salt and pepper flavor next time, Zhang San hurried in from outside the door.
"Mrs. Li."
He first said hello to Li Suyue, then leaned into Wei Changtian's ear and whispered:
"Sir, the Masons are here."
...
After more than half a month has passed since Wei Changtian sent the letter back to today, "one of our own" has finally arrived.
In fact, this speed is not too slow. After all, it takes more than ten days just to travel back and forth.
"How many have come?"
Returning to the room, Wei Changtian immediately asked impatiently: "Where are we staying now?"
"Back to the young master, the first batch of twenty-one people has arrived."
Zhang San replied: "It is said that thirty-two more will come one after another in the next few days, totaling fifty-three. Now they are staying in several inns in the city."
"This is the letter the helmsman asked them to send to you."
Helmsman?
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Wang Er was the leader of the Freemasonry.
I took the letter and read it quickly. Most of the content was a report on the recent development of the Freemasonry and Chunshen Bookstore, and a list of people who came to Shuzhou this time was also attached.
Overall, there was nothing special about it, but the last sentence made him frown.
"There may be big changes in Shuzhou in recent days. At the moment, I only know that it may be related to Prince Shun. I hope you will be more careful."
Um?
Are we going to break up so soon?
Wei Changtian silently remembered this matter, raised his head and told Zhang San:
"I will disappear as a Masonic brother, and you will be the one to contact me from now on."
"You must try your best to conceal the existence of these people and arrange the things I told you before as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, sir, I will go and do it today."
"Well, and..."
Wei Changtian thought for a moment and then said: "Send someone to find a cave on Yanyun Mountain outside the city."
"Cave?"
"Yes, it should be halfway up the mountain. There is a huge sword-shaped stone at the entrance of the cave. If you find it, come back and tell me immediately. Remember, no one is allowed to go in. Remember?"
"remember."
Zhang San didn't ask any more questions, and after confirming a few things with Wei Changtian, he ran to "implement the task" without even bothering to eat breakfast.
It wasn't that he didn't eat at all. Li Suyue still gave him a few cakes when he went out.
I guess these two are about to get married.
Wei Changtian smacked his lips and turned his thoughts back to his own affairs.
At present, Xiao Feng's traces cannot be pinpointed, and he doesn't know what evil intentions he is harboring.
But now that he has Tianluo Sect as his backer, as long as he can seize any opportunity, he has a high probability of killing him completely.
As for Ning Qingyu, it is estimated that as Wang Er said in the letter, Ning Yongnian will attack him again soon.
Wei Changtian doesn't care about the life or death of this prince at all, but it's a pity that his three yellow-flowered eldest daughters are as beautiful as jade...
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but recall the way Ning Yuke broke off a tooth from the comb last night and gently handed it to him.
"Sir, if I can survive, will you marry me?"
Obviously, Ning Yuke meant to help Wei Changtian survive after getting such things.
The probability of nine lives and one death is still very high.
But what she didn't know was that even if she could survive this time, when Ning Yongnian's killer showed up again, her chances of surviving would be narrow or even impossible.
well.
Wei Changtian sighed softly, his expression exactly the same as when he answered Ning Yuke yesterday.
