Zhang Chengqing looked at Amber's face as if he was sizing up his own daughter, and said with a smile: "The face is not bad, at least not as fierce as coral."
After saying that, he said a few words to himself: "Very good, very good."
These two sentences show my old age. Li Fenglan felt that when she first met Zhang Chengqing last year, the old Taoist priest was old but energetic. When we meet again this year, the old man has a lot of rickets and looks pitiful. It seems that I am really getting older, and I cannot accept old age.
Zhu Mingyu also felt that the master was old and couldn't even speak, and his eye sockets couldn't help but feel hot.
At this time, I heard breathless laughter coming from outside. It was Zhan Tianhong.
"Hahaha! Master! You're almost done. Yesterday, you chased a few thieves for more than 30 miles, and your legs were in trouble. It's a sure thing that the seventh child will return to secular life. It's useless for you to pretend to be old. "
Zhang Chengqing, who had been quite kind-hearted just now, suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Shut up!"
"Lao Qi, the food is ready for you. You can eat by yourself in the dining hall. Remember to wash the dishes after you finish. I'm going to bed."
Zhang Chengqing saw that he had failed and failed to play the last emotional card well. The old man was a little angry. Then he pitifully asked Zhu Mingyu: "Mingyu, can you return to the secular world two years later? You will be able to enter Taoism soon. It is a pity that you are still secular now."
Zhu Mingyu rolled his eyes: "Just now you asked Hu Hui to change his name to master. What's wrong? I'm not going to return to secular life and get married? Have I broken the rules of my ancestor?"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his apprentice, Zhang Chengqing had no choice but to wave his hands and said, "Forget it, let's do whatever we want. You guys have come all the way and you haven't eaten yet, right? Go eat first. After dinner, Mingyu, take them with you." Go and rest. Your third senior brother and fifth senior brother have not been back for many years. Their rooms are freed up for them to live in. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow."
Li Fenglan desperately wanted to ask about the Red Bearded Demon. She couldn't wait a moment now and was about to beg. Zhu Mingyu said to her, "Ask me again tomorrow. My master's schedule has always been very accurate. It's time for him to rest."
Everyone had no choice but to say goodbye first. Li Fenglan was walking at the back, and when she was about to go out, Zhang Chengqing suddenly asked, "Isn't Mo Changfeng here?"
Li Fenglan said: "The owner of the valley said he was afraid of causing trouble to you, so he didn't go up the mountain."
"Hey, you're still so upright."
…
Zhu Mingyu took everyone to eat first. Although Qingfengguan was shabby, the food was surprisingly delicious. Everyone except Li Fenglan enjoyed it.
After eating, Zhu Mingyu took them to rest.
He said to the three girls: "I have wronged you all night, so tonight the three of you will squeeze in."
Ayana said: "It's okay, I think the bed is quite big."
Then he said to Xu Qingchen: "Brother Xu, you live in a room alone."
Xu Qingchen nodded and said nothing. Read the book
"It's getting late now, let's go to bed early."
Everyone returned to the room, but Amber did not enter the room.
Zhu Mingyu asked: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Didn't Master Zhan ask you to wash the dishes?"
"I'm going right away."
"I'm with you!"
Zhu Mingyu is very skilled at washing dishes. He is the youngest in the mountains and usually does all the chores. Although Hu Bo has called Li Fenglan "Miss" for several years, she has never done any maid's work. He said he was helping Zhu Mingyu wash the dishes, but in fact he was just watching from the side.
Zhu Mingyu looked at Amber, smiled and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Amber squatted beside him, holding her chin with her hands, and replied: "Yes...can we help Sister Lan chase Mu Yun back?"
Zhu Mingyu shook her head helplessly: "I know you care about her, but... this matter is too complicated. When we were in Luoyang, although Third Young Master Bai didn't say it, I think he had feelings for Mu Yun and Chen Wu. Bad."
"Why? Muyun didn't provoke him."
"Li Fenglan and Mr. Bai have similar ideas. If Li Fenglan didn't have such a relationship with them, Li Fenglan would also be wary of them.
. The identity is unknown, and he is most likely an opponent. It is very unsafe to keep such a person around. "
"But Muyun is not a bad person!"
"I know it, everyone knows it... But no one can say what he will be like after he regains his memory. Let me tell you something you don't like to hear... If Mu Yun dies, maybe everyone will feel more at ease... except Li Fenglan. "
Amber was a little dissatisfied: "Why do you keep your mouth shut and kill people? Is there no other solution? Anyway, I don't think it is a good strategy for Mu Yun to leave with that Chen Zijue. If he is not Si Ye, why did they use him to threaten Sister Lan? manage?"
"At that time, we can only pray that your sister Lan will be cruel."
"But in that case Mu Yun will be in danger."
"If not, we will all be in danger... Amber, don't think about it. You have to trust her. She will definitely have countermeasures."
Amber could only nod helplessly. After a while, she seemed to remember something and asked with a smile: "Taoist Priest Mingyu, do you remember what you promised me?"
Zhu Mingyu smiled and replied: "Of course you remember, I will give it to you after washing the dishes."
…
Li Fenglan's strategy is to wait and hope. I hope Mu Yun really believes what she said in her letter, although given the current situation, this is unlikely. Once Mu Yun believes it, and his restored identity is something he doesn't expect, then the two of them may really come to an end. Even if Mu Yun is still Mu Yun in the end, the consequences of such deception will make Li Fenglan sleepless.
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Linghan lay beside her, patted her shoulder gently, and persuaded: "Feng Lan, are you still sad?"
Li Fenglan lay down, shook her head and said, "I'm not sad. I know it's useless to be sad. I'm worried about other things."
Ayana sighed and said, "Don't you think you're a bit desperate for face?"
Li Fenglan was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"You just asked him to shed a few tears, and he would definitely not leave."
"He wants to leave on his own, I won't ask him."
Ling smiled: "I heard from Kohaku that you have been teaching Kohaku how to deal with men."
Li Fenglan was a little embarrassed: "I wasn't teaching her... I just said it casually, and Zhu Mingyu didn't need her to deal with it, she just stuck with her."
"You don't need to deal with Mu Yun and Chen Wu. Didn't you tell Amber that women should be good at pretending to be pitiful? When it comes down to it, how could you forget it?"
Li Fenglan looked pained: "I'm just talking on paper, how could I do it...How could I cry in front of so many people? Besides...me and them...actually it's not as fast as you think."
"How far has that come to?"
Li Fenglan looked at the beam and replied: "Chen Wu is okay, likes and dislikes are all written on his face... Mu Yun has been deliberately avoiding me since last year. Most of the time, Chen Wu controls his body. If I don't Even if I call him, he won't take the initiative to come out. I know that he wants to keep a distance from me. He is afraid that he will not be able to leave me when we part ways, and he is also afraid that I will be sad... Do you think there is something wrong with him? "
Ayana nodded in agreement: "There is indeed something wrong... but it is reasonable. What about you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"How do you feel about them?"
"no feelings."
"Why are you crying if you don't feel it?"
"I'm just an ordinary friend. I'm afraid something will happen to him, so I'm a little sad."
"There is no one else in the room now. Why don't you admit it openly? What are you afraid of? Do you feel ashamed to be with them? Or do you think they can't handle it? Or... you think it is shameful to like someone? "
Li Fenglan covered her head with a quilt and said, "What's the point of admitting it now? I can't come back anyway."
Ayana wanted to say something else, but the sound of the door opening interrupted her.
Amber came back, her mouth seemed to be full of food, and she was holding a package in her arms. She threw the package on the bed and swallowed the food in her mouth, happily
He said to Li Fenglan and Linghan: "I'll give you delicious food!"
Li Fenglan poked her head out of the bed and asked, "What's delicious?"
Amber opened the package, which was full of preserved fruits.
Li Fenglan and Linghan sat up from the quilt, picked up the preserved fruit and tasted it. Li Fenglan said, "It's very delicious. Who gave it to you?" After asking, she felt that her question was unnecessary.
Amber smiled and replied: "Taoist Priest Mingyu!"
At night, there were quilts, snacks, girls, and three girls at that. The sleeping session started naturally.
Li Fenglan asked Hu Bo: "Hu Bo, when Zhu Mingyu officially returns to secular life tomorrow, what should you call him?"
Amber thought about this question seriously and replied, "How about calling me Taoist Priest Mingyu? I'm used to it."
Linghan asked: "But he will no longer be a Taoist priest from tomorrow? Will he still be called a chief from now on? What about after he gets married?"
Li Fenglan smiled mischievously and said, "Of course I'll call you husband."
Amber blushed: "Sister Lan, what are you talking about..."
The three of them chatted until very late before going to bed. Amber was not stupid. She knew that Li Fenglan would not be able to sleep tonight, so she endured her sleepiness and chatted with her. Linghan is so smart that she naturally thought of this.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the three girls got up, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
When he opened the door and came out, Zhan Tianhong was already cleaning the yard.
"Hey, are you up?" Zhan Tianhong had a playful smile on his face, "Let's go to the dining hall to eat."
Amber smiled and said, "Zhan Daozhang, your cooking is delicious."
Zhan Tianhong pretended to be angry: "There are no rules, what should you call me?"
Amber's face turned red again and she whispered: "Sixth Senior Brother..."
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhu Mingyu say loudly: "Why are you calling him Senior Brother?! He hasn't even passed the door yet! He wants to take advantage of everything! Li Fenglan, come directly to my master after dinner."
When the three of them arrived at the dining hall, they found Xu Qingchen playing chess with Wei Jinzhu. Xu Qingchen was holding his chin in thought, while Wei Jinzhu's face was full of smile, a sincere and happy smile.
Linghan walked over and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qingchen, can you still play chess?"
Xu Qingchen didn't seem to hear, and was still thinking. It took him a long time to realize that there was someone behind him. He looked back at Linghan and replied, "I just learned it from Master Wei."
Wei Jinzhu said politely: "Little Qingchen has a very good understanding. I only told you the rules and you can figure out many techniques on your own. You are very talented. You have surpassed my master by a lot."
Xu Qingchen said hurriedly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Daozhang Zhang has been involved in Go for so many years. I..."
Wei Jinzhu waved his hand and whispered: "My master just learned it a month ago, and he is still a bad chess player."
This is a bit inconsistent with Zhang Chengqing's celestial character. Who would have thought that an old Taoist priest who had lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years would just learn to play chess.
After breakfast, Li Fenglan and his party arrived at the lecture hall as scheduled. Zhang Chengqing had been waiting for a long time.
He pointed at the futon, asked them to sit down, and asked, "Girl Li, do you want to ask me something?"
Li Fenglan nodded and said, "Yes, Taoist Zhang, I want to ask about the Red Bearded Demon."
Zhang Chengqing was a little confused: "After the red-bearded devil withdrew from the world fifty years ago, he has long since faded out of the public eye, and his affairs have nothing to do with those nineteen years ago."
"It wasn't nineteen years ago, it was a friend of mine."
"Are you talking about the young man named Mu Yun?"
"Yes."
"I just wanted to ask, why isn't he with you?"
"Uh...there's something about him."
Zhang Chengqing nodded, carefully recalled fifty years ago, and said, "Before I said this..." As he said that, he picked up a black stone from the chessboard and threw it to Linghan.
After Linghan caught the chess piece, she looked at Zhang Chengqing in confusion.
Zhang Chengqing said to Linghan: "I heard that the Mangjian Yinguang boxing and fingering techniques are very good. I guess the strength in his hands is very good."
You must be quite angry, right? "
"Well enough."
"Girl, crush this chess piece."
Although she was full of doubts, Ayahan still did as she was told. The production method of this set of chess pieces is different from the chess pieces on the market. Wei Jinzhu picked small pebbles from the creek at the foot of the mountain, polished them to the same size by hand, and then painted them with black and white paint, so they are much harder than ordinary chess pieces. .
With the force of Linghan's thumb and index finger, the chess piece shattered in Linghan's hand, splashing everyone with stone dust.
