Early next morning.
A red sun rises in the east, day and night change, and the morning glow is revealed. The lush vegetation of Zhongnan Mountain seems to be covered with a layer of red. The rays of sunlight shine directly on the earth through the leaves. Small animals in twos and threes come out of their nests one after another, or stretch out. Body, or licking and cleaning the body, the chirping of birds sounded on the branches, as if they were singing for today's good weather.
Outside the ancient tomb, the lingering mist was gradually dispelled by the morning light. With a creak, the door of the small cabin opposite the ancient tomb was pushed open from the inside, and a dark-skinned young man rubbed his eyes and walked away. He came out and glanced at the red sun slowly rising in the east. The young man subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the dazzling light.
"Sir, did you hear the noise last night?"
After a moment of silence, a hesitant voice came from the room: "Shh, keep it down."
Following Gongsun Shi out of the room, he first glanced at the closed cabin next door, and then whispered to A Gang in front of him: "That was the sound coming from Mr. Dongzhang's room. Maybe he was asleep."
Gongsun Shi slept lightly in his old age, so he heard many details. Although he had been alone for more than forty years, he had some vague guesses, but it was difficult to say too much about this kind of thing.
Seeing that Gongsun Shi had a strange look on his face, Ah Gang nodded without asking any more questions, turned around and went to fetch water from the water tank to wash up.
After a while, several figures appeared at the entrance of the ancient tomb. Before the people arrived, the sound of chirping could be heard.
"Mother-in-law, we haven't been home for a long time. Xiaoyao slept well last night. How about you."
"As long as you are by my side, my mother-in-law can sleep wherever she goes~"
Grandma Sun looked dotingly at the girl bouncing in front of her and said this, as if she was a closely related mother-in-law and grandson.
Li Mochou walked behind a few people in silence, looking at the two beautiful girls in front of her who were full of vitality. It felt like a world away. She herself had not spent the night in an ancient tomb for many years. She recalled the last time she stayed in an ancient tomb. The ancient tomb was more than ten years ago.
From time to time, the girls came to the hut and saw Gong and Sun Shi washing up. They said hello: "Uncle, aren't my brothers and sisters up yet?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Shi wiped his face a little slower and said hesitantly: "I guess I'm still resting."
"Like this. I've been saying that Xiao Yao is lazy all day long, but I'm still lying in bed. The sun is almost scorching my butt. I'm going to call them." Lu Yao pouted and wanted to plunge into the hut in the middle.
Granny Sun and Lu Qing were so frightened that they hurriedly restrained her: "I can't, I can't, my little ancestors. They have been tired for a day, so let them sleep more."
Although Lu Qing was speechless, the hand holding his sister tightly did not relax at all. Seeing this, Li Mochou let out a soft "heh" and walked to sit under the pergola.
At this time, the closed door of the small room in the middle suddenly "squeaked" and everyone couldn't help but look towards the door, as if pressing the temporary button, staring at the wooden door without daring to breathe.
Xiao Longnu, who was wearing white shoes, white clothes and all in white, pushed out the door with an expressionless face. Without looking at the stunned expressions of the crowd, she walked straight through the crowd to the ancient tomb.
"?"
"Sister Long, where is my brother?"
Lu Yao was the first to come to his senses and asked the little dragon girl beside him.
When the dragon girl heard this, she paused and said with a sullen face, "How do I know?"
"Hey~ Brother, doesn't he live with his sister?"
Lu Yao, who was "childlike", didn't even notice that Xiao Longnu's fair and pretty face suddenly turned red. He followed Lu Yao and rushed to the door: "Brother! Get up!"
Holding the door frame with both hands, Lu Yao peeked in with his little head, but all he saw was the neatly folded bedding, and no one could be found at all. He couldn't help but wonder: "Brother is missing!?"
"Um?"
Several women came forward to watch one after another, but there was no sign of anyone in the room except the neatly stacked bedding.
Just when a few people were about to question the dragon girl, a lazy voice suddenly came from the roof: "What are you yelling about so early in the morning? Can I still throw it away? What a fuss."
After hearing the sound, several people stepped back quickly, looked up, and saw Dongzhang lying on the roof wearing a close-fitting thin shirt. When Longnu heard the sound, she suddenly quickened her pace and walked towards the ancient tomb, feeling quite desolate. It means to escape.
"Brother, if you don't sleep on a good bed, why are you sleeping on the roof?" Lu Yao was a little confused.
Hearing this, Dong Zhang showed a little embarrassment on his face and said: "Ask me! I just like sleeping on the roof. What's wrong? No?"
It was quite a bit slanderous, and everyone heard Zhang Er scratching his head, not knowing what he was getting into.
"Go, go, go and wash up quickly. Don't care what I do!"
Seeing several women still looking at him, Dongzhang shouted and turned around, lying on the roof.
"It's so bad to curse people so early in the morning." Lu Yao curled his lips and went to line up to get water.
Lu Qing glanced at Dongzhang who was lying down, a trace of doubt flashed in his big eyes, and then he walked to the hut to get water to wash his face.
Soon, everyone had finished cleaning, and Granny Sun and Lu Qing were busy making breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, and green smoke gradually rose from the chimney.
Opposite the hut, the divine eagle and Lu Yao were playing and communicating under the tree. At this time, the little dragon girl finally arrived from the ancient tomb.
Holding the toiletries in his hands, he walked slowly to the front of the hut, and without looking at Dong Zhang who was still lying on the hut, he went straight to fetch water and wash himself.
At this time, everyone only thought that Dongzhang was too seriously injured and needed to recover, so they kept their voices down even when they talked. However, even after Granny Sun and Lu Qing had made breakfast, Dongzhang still didn't come down. Everyone felt something was wrong.
Lu Yao lay on the back of the sacred eagle and drove it towards the house, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Brother! It's time to eat!"
"."
"You guys...eat first, first"
Something was wrong, it was getting more and more wrong. Dongzhang must be a little abnormal. Everyone couldn't help but look at Xiao Longnu who was calmly drinking tea, but the latter looked at her nose, nose and heart without a word of explanation.
At this time, Granny Sun and Lu Qing also started to call Dongzhang for dinner, and even Gongsun Shi and A Gang offered words of advice.
In desperation, Dongzhang pretended that he couldn't sleep anymore, so he stood up slowly, turned around hesitantly, and then used his hands to support a kite, turned over and dodged off the roof.
"Eh? Brother, where are your shoes?"
As soon as Dongzhang landed, the sharp-eyed Lu Yao noticed that Dongzhang was barefoot and shouted in surprise.
This voice was incredible, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention again. Xiao Longnu's movement of drinking tea was even more stiff, while Dong Zhang choked on her with a mouthful of water, and turned away in embarrassment: "Ahem Cough. The shoes are dirty."
After saying that, regardless of the doubtful looks from everyone, he squatted on the ground with his back to a few people and washed his face roughly.
The time for a cup of tea has passed. Normally, Dongzhang would have already finished washing, but now he was still lingering on eating under the pergola. Lu Yao, who was so hungry that he couldn't help but urge: "Hurry up. Brother, Xiaoyao is almost hungry."
"Come on, come on, you have a lot to do."
Dongzhang, who couldn't pretend any longer, seemed to have made some serious decision. He hesitated for a while, then resolutely turned around and walked towards the pergola.
"Pfft!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Brother! Were you robbed last night!?"
Seeing Dongzhang's face, the faces of the people in the ancient tomb went through many changes. From the initial shock to the confusion, they burst out laughing. They laughed so hard that Lu Yao and Shendiao even clapped their hands and hit the table. on, laughing so hard that tears came out.
But I saw that Dong Zhang's right eye was swollen and darkened, like a panda. There were also many scratches on his face, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"What are you looking at? Eat and eat!"
Dongzhang, who was a little embarrassed by them, walked over to the table, picked up a bowl of white porridge, and poured it into his mouth, covering his face with the bowl.
"Hahahaha! Brother, who were you beaten by?"
Everyone did not let Dongzhang off easily, rather wanting to get to the bottom of the matter. Even Li Mochou couldn't hide his smile and was enjoying himself.
In response to this, Dongzhang turned his back on what was going on outside the window, pretending to be dumbfounded and unable to hear, and just kept his head down while eating.
Seeing his ostrich-like appearance, the little dragon girl gasped and couldn't hold herself together, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
