The man was about to chase after him. Tang Zhuo didn't look back, but he could feel two extremely cold eyes on his back. Hearing the sound of the spirit sword being unsheathed, Tang Zhuo's legs were already starting to soften, but at this moment someone suddenly came and stood behind him.
Tang Zhuo turned around and saw that it was Lin Luan. And the man who was chasing also slowed down, very calm, and Tang Zhuo could see his appearance clearly.
I saw this man dressed in a white robe with a crane, wearing a long sword "Deadwood" on his waist, low horizontal eyebrows, sharp and cold eyes, a very mean appearance, and tight lips like dissatisfaction, as if he was not satisfied with anything and looked down on everyone. Lin Luan stood in front of Tang Zhuo, bowed his head and said, "Father."
This is Lin Luan's father, Lin Xianzuo, the current head of the Lin family. Although he was facing Lin Luan when he spoke, his eyes passed through Lin Luan and looked at Tang Zhuo behind him. Tang Zhuo's heart palpitated under his stare, and he took two steps behind Lin Luan. Lin Xianzuo said to Lin Luan: "Lu An, the banquet is about to start, but as the eldest son of the clan, you are running around everywhere, how is it!" Lin Luan's tone was calm, and he said naturally: "I remember in my heart that this guest is here today. I sat down, worried that they would feel bored while waiting, so I made up my mind to bring this young master Tang to the forest to pick some persimmons for them to eat, but I was negligent."
Lin Xianzuo snorted coldly and said, "The next time you commit a crime, you will be fined for seven days. Are you feeding the dog what you usually teach you?"
These words are really rude, and both the tone and content are uncomfortable. It really doesn't look like it came from the head of a big family, or a father saying it to his child.
After Lin Xianzuo finished training Lin Luan, he walked away with his hands behind his back. When passing by, he lowered his head and glanced at Tang Zhuo coldly.
Tang Zhuo looked at his back with lingering fears. Looking back to see Lin Xianzuo walking away, Lin Luan gave Tang Zhuo a warm smile and said, "Young Master Tang, why did you come here alone? Maybe I didn't eat enough persimmons I picked before, so I want to come back and try it." Tang Zhuo Xin Knowing that Lin Luan knew about his stealing persimmons, he felt a little guilty and a little guilty. When he remembered that he was about to be caught by Lin Xianzuo, he didn't know what punishment he would receive. Brother Lu An, I will never steal food again in the future."
Lin Luan smiled and stroked Tang Zhuo's shoulder. As the two walked out of the woods, Lin Luan said, "I can understand your feelings, I have two younger brothers, and I like to fish and hunt dogs and climb trees all day long. Egg. Go back and ask the young masters who came to pick persimmons with you, and I can often send someone to deliver some to you in the future."
Tang Zhuo immediately became refreshed and said, "Really??!!! Thank you Brother Lu An!!!"
At this time, Tang Zhuo tilted his head to look. I saw a red sedan chair being carried by four people in front and behind, staggering out of the woods and walking away.
The two walked towards the banquet hall and looked at the corner of the long corridor. Tang Zhuo suddenly remembered something, took out a sachet from his clothes and handed it to Lin Luan: "Brother Lu An, this is my sister... This is my previous one. I bought it when I encountered it on the street. I heard from the seller that the sachets are filled with high-quality medicinal materials. They have... I don’t know if it has these effects, but it tastes good and smells good, so I’ll give it to you!”
Lin Luan stretched out his hands to take it, and said, "Thank you."
Tang Zhuo said: "You're welcome."
Tang Zhuo glanced at the corner again. Lin Luan wanted to move forward, but Tang Zhuo quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Lu, Lu An...!!!"
Lin Luan said, "... huh?"
Tang Zhuo pushed him the other way and said, "I suddenly remembered that I accidentally encountered a dead cat when I was playing with my little friend in the afternoon. It died so miserably and disgusting, it's right in front of me! You thousand Don't go there, I'm worried about scaring you, or you can go the other way. Goodbye! Goodbye!"
Tang Zhuo was relieved when he watched Lin Luan leave the other way. He stroked his heart, and as soon as he walked to the corner of the corridor, a girl in blue clothes came up to greet him. Tang Zhuo smiled and said, "Sister!"
This girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was supposed to be the age of girls who love beauty, but she was only wearing a simple Tsing Yi, a veil, a wooden hairpin in her hair, and there was no extra decoration from head to toe. . But from the pair of eyes exposed on the veil, it can be seen that this girl's facial features are extremely delicate. She seems to have been waiting here for a long time. To Tang Zhuo: "What did you say just now?"
Tang Zhuo said: "I just said..."
Tang Yun said: "It's what you said just now, what, what 'resurrect the dead', 'have a precious child early', when I told you, it was obviously not what I said, what I told you is that its functions are to clear heat and detoxify, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and refresh the mind. Wake up and relax.”
Tang Zhuo seemed to have been beaten in the head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at endorsement."
Tang Yun seemed to want to say something, but sighed and said nothing. At this time she said again: "Then did he find out that I sent it?"
Tang Zhuo patted his chest and said, "Sister who is definitely not there! I didn't say that you did it."
Tang Yun said: "This is good, this is good..."
With that said, a bell rang from the banquet hall. Tang Zhuo called out "Oops" and hurriedly ran to the banquet hall. After running for a few steps, she turned around and said to Tang Yun, "Sister, won't you come to dinner together?" Tang Yun shook her head.
When Tang Zhuo arrived, the banquet had already begun, and many delicious mountain delicacies were placed on the table. Tang Zhuo found Shi Jinzai's table and sat down, and the other teenagers at the table coaxed: "Tang Zhuo, you're late! I'll punish you for wearing a small red flower on your head!"
Tang Zhuo saw that this group of teenagers were just a little flower that was picked from somewhere in advance, holding it for fun. He was thinking that no one was teasing, and he caught Tang Zhuo. Tang Zhuo waved his hands again and again: "I'm a man, what red flowers are I wearing?"
Shi Jin sprayed: "I'll go, just you? A big spoon? A man?? I don't believe you if you say it for 800 years!"
Another young man instigated: "Brother Dai Ma Tang, wear it for fun, we finally got to know each other today, and we will leave after dinner later, you should leave a memory for us in our hearts!"
Tang Zhuo was a bit embarrassed, but Shi Jin secretly snorted him, taking the little red flower while he didn't pay attention, inserted it in his hair, and desperately patted the table: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!"
Said that Tang Zhuo was really called a "man", but at a young age, he was already cute. When he wore this little flower, he looked like a little girl, very cute. Several 16- or 17-year-old girls at the adjacent table were attracted by the laughter here, and they all looked sideways. Seeing Tang Zhuo's appearance, they smiled brightly, pulled his sleeves, and said, "Little brother, you are really cute. ."
Tang Zhuo was so praised that his nose was about to go up. At this time, the youths urged him to say: "Stand up! Stand up! You can pick me up after a few dozen times!" Tang Zhuo stood up. The gang of teenagers deliberately did bad things and said, "One, two, three, four, five, six—"
The sound of "six" dragged on for a long time, and the "seven" was not seen for a long time. Tang Zhuo knew that they were going to play with him again, and he was going to sit down here, but he was immediately stopped and said, "Don't cheat! You haven't counted to ten yet!" Tang Zhuo said: "It's clearly you who cheated!" The man said, "Hahaha Hahahaha, I didn't say beforehand what the number of 'ten' is!"
In the chatter, Tang Zhuo looked up and saw that across several tables, Xuan Ziyuan was looking up. Tang Zhuo blushed immediately, and didn't care about anything, he tore off the little red flower, sat down with a "boom", and frantically cooked with his head down, thinking: "I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see it..."
After laughing, a teenager suddenly rushed to the teenager beside him and said, "Look, look."
All the teenagers looked up and saw Xuan Zikang walking over with a gloomy face, hurriedly burying his head and pretending to be concentrating on eating. When Xuan Zikang passed the table, he snorted very clearly before walking away.
A young man finally couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud: "That Xuan Zikang has always had this expression since he was teased by us in the afternoon, as if he really misses us, and this is also the same as Mrs. Xuan Ziyuan. Like it!"
Shi Jin said: "That's really similar. I also thought that Xuan Zikang's expression is very similar to Xuan Ziyuan, and he doesn't like to talk to people, haha!"
Tang Zhuo hummed at this time: "How can there be, I think my family Ziyuan is very good, and he is very friendly to others."
Shi Jin's eyes were about to pop out, and he stretched out his hand to touch his forehead very exaggeratedly, and said, "Am I right? Be friendly to others??? Big spoon, are you fascinated by the vixen?!!"
Tang Zhuo said dissatisfiedly: "It's clear."
Shi Jin said: "Look at people, if you talk to them, they are reluctant to pay attention to you, okay?"
Tang Zhuo said: "So what? Don't you think it's cool?"
Shi Jin was really speechless this time: "Oh, I get it, if I ignore you, you can't wait to beat me to death. If people ignore you, it's 'cool'???"
A young man said: "If you want me to say, that Xuan Zikang is really like a parrot, always picking on thorns and making small reports. Even I know his mantra: 'You are in our house like this, but you want to... '"
When the other teenagers heard it, they felt very right, and they covered their mouths and laughed. One person said, "I think, let's call him 'Brother Parrot'!"
Another teenager said: "Haha, this is a good name!"
After the banquet, when the teenagers passed by with Xuan Zikang, they called him like acquaintances: "Hey, little parrot!" "Brother Parrot!!!"
Seeing Tang Zhuo not leaving, Shi Jin said, "Big spoon, what are you doing here? Are you secretly packing the leftovers and taking them home to eat while everyone is not paying attention?"
Tang Zhuo said: "Of course not! You go first and wait for me near the gate of Huanlingxi."
Shi Jin gave him a "good" gesture and followed the others away.
Tang Zhuo saw them walking away, walked around the densely packed tables in the hall, and walked inside.
Tang Zhuo's table dispersed earlier, because they were all young people, and they didn't have any polite words or affection. After eating and chatting, they dispersed. It was the older members of the aristocratic family, especially those with some weight in the family. Characters, sitting at the table for an extraordinarily long time.
Xuan Ziyuan's table has not been scattered.
Tang Zhuo quietly went around to a place where no one saw him, and sneaked closer to Xuan Ziyuan who had his back turned to him. At this time, he suddenly stood up, threw a piece of paper into his arms and walked away.
After finally throwing the paper ball out, Tang Zhuo felt much lighter, so he rushed to the agreed Huanlingxi gate. At this moment, he suddenly saw a man in a gray light shirt walking towards him, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Uncle Fu!!"
The person who came was Fu Chulan. I saw him wearing a gray light shirt, and his sword was "washing dust". There was no sharpness between his brows and eyes, and he couldn't hide his tired look. The eyes are clear and firm, and the demeanor is modest and deep. The whole person gives people a feeling of being dusty, and looks very gentle.
Fu Chulan took over the heavy responsibility of the Fu family from his parents when he was young, and worked diligently to gradually expand the Fu family and ushered in the most prosperous period of the Fu family. However, it is said that the master of the Fu family only concentrates on studying his own organs on weekdays, without looking into the garden or paying attention to his appearance. I will sort it out at the urging of my wife.
Among all the familiar elders, Tang Zhuo also likes Fu Chulan the most.
Different from other elders caring for the younger generation just like a face, every time Tang Zhuo's birthday, Fu Chulan will carefully prepare gifts for him, never perfunctory. The amazing thing is that Tang Zhuo has always wanted or fantasized about it every time, but he didn't have it for the time being. Tang Zhuo loves to have fun, and everyone is really happy to have an uncle who can guess his mind and is not stingy. Therefore, when Tang Zhuo saw him back, no matter how far he was, he would run over to say hello.
Fu Chulan saw Tang Zhuo, smiled at him, and said, "Xiao Zhuo, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've been very busy all day, so I haven't visited Tangmen Bay. Please give my regards to Ling Zun and Ling Tang." Tang Zhuo smiled. , was about to speak, but suddenly glanced at Fu Naichuan behind Fu Chulan, and his face changed instantly.
Fu Naichuan said, "Little Tang??? What kind of ghost-like expression do you have? Please treat them equally, okay???"
Tang Zhuo ignored him. At this time, other parents came out one after another behind them and greeted Fu Chulan. Tang Zhuo said goodbye to Fu Chulan, and hurried to the gate.
Everyone gathered together and chatted and talked about things, many of which were "Brother X will never see you if we leave today, I will always remember you", "Brother X will come to me to play when you have time in the future, and take you to fight birds and fly together". The boats of some families were already waiting outside Huanlingxi and were about to leave. There was a scene of farewell outside the gate. However, people such as the Tang family who set their departure time at Hai Shi were also considering their children's playfulness. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival today. There were activities such as guessing puzzles, setting lotus lanterns, and setting off fireworks outside Huanlingxi. , the boat is large, numerous and safe, and it is okay to arrange an overnight stay on the boat, so the boat has not yet sailed.
Tang Zhuo thought of this, so he threw a piece of paper to Xuan Ziyuan and wrote that he should wait for him outside Huanlingxi at Xu Shi.
But after the table was scattered, Xuan Ziyuan remembered it, but Tang Zhuo was having fun and forgot it for the time being.
Soon after Tang Zhuo suddenly threw him a ball of paper, the table of Xuan Ziyuan was scattered. He folded the piece of paper, put it in his clothes, and sat on the lowest step in front of the door of a room by himself, away from the noisy crowd, and took out a persimmon from his clothes.
This persimmon is big and fresh, and it seems to have a big "Carefully Selected" written all over it. Xuan Ziyuan held it and looked at it for a while, and was about to take a bite when suddenly a voice said, "Ziyuan!"
Xuan Ziyuan immediately hid the persimmons. Xuan Zilin trotted over and said, "Ziyuan, you are sitting here alone..." He suddenly saw the big persimmon in his arms, and smiled, "Is this what Mr. Tang gave you at that time? It looks delicious. what."
"..." Xuan Ziyuan was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and shoved the persimmon into Xuan Zilin's hands. Xuan Zilin's eyes widened in confusion, and Xuan Ziyuan said, "I don't like sweet food."
After saying that, he left.
Stop and go alone. Outside Huanlingxi, there was an endless stream of people leaving and boarding the boat. Xuan Ziyuan stopped to watch for a while, there were too many people in his heart and it was too noisy, so he walked to the side for a while.
Finally, when he came to a place not far from Huanlingxi and relatively few people, Xuan Ziyuan sat alone by the river and began to wait. This is the time of Xu.
But after waiting for a while, no one was seen. Xuan Ziyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, got up and walked back towards Huanlingxi.
Tang Zhuo huddled with the young people and said, "Don't you know that the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes made near our house are delicious. I ate ten boxes a day before, and the old lady who sold sweet-scented osmanthus cakes ate it all the time. When you see me, no matter how much I sell, you will give me an extra box, but you like me."
Another teenager said: "It's really so delicious? Then I'll have to take time to go to Tangmen Bay in the future. But when it comes to food, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you all eat moon cakes? I like the stuffed bean paste the most. "
"I can't eat bean paste stuffed, I like jujube stuffed."
"I don't think moon cakes are delicious. They're dry. I can't wait to drink a bowl of water after eating half of them. Anyway, I basically don't eat moon cakes, but my family loves them. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother buys a dozen. Come back and share with me, I said I don't want to buy so much, but she insists on buying so much!"
The teenagers were chattering and spitting, completely forgetting the time. Tang Zhuo sometimes speaks by himself, mostly by interjecting. At this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed from the corner of his eyes.
The rest of the people were chatting happily, and they didn't notice this tiny and brief moment. Tang Zhuo caught it.
When he looked at it again, the light flashed again. Tang Zhuo felt that something in his heart was being affected, and he walked to the place where the light flashed, and saw behind a tree, a delicate water butterfly flapping its wings gently, facing him.
Tang Zhuo was very curious, he reached out his hand to catch it, but the water butterfly made a few circles and flew away.
Tang Zhuo followed the water butterfly all the way. The water butterfly is high and low, fast and slow, crystal clear and beautiful, really like a scene in a dream. The night was deep, and outside Huanlingxi, people with smiling faces passed by from time to time on the street. At this time, the water butterfly slowly landed on the ground, flapped its wings, as if saying goodbye to him, and disappeared.
Tang Zhuo looked up. Not far away, a silver-haired, blue-clothed and black-cloak boy was sitting quietly on the bank of the river, wondering what he was thinking. The river was sparkling, and red lotus lanterns with shimmering lights kept drifting past him.
Tang Zhuo crept around behind him, covered his eyes, and said, "Guess who I am!"
"..." Xuan Ziyuan stretched out his hand and pulled him away and said, "Tang pig."
Tang Zhuo: ? ?
Hyun Jae-yeon got up and left. Tang Zhuo followed him with a guilty conscience and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forgotten the time. How long have you been waiting here?"
Xuan Ziyuan: "It's been a long time."
Tang Zhuo said angrily: "Really..."
The two walked and came to a lively street.
I saw that most of the street is selling snacks, and there are many things that children love to play. Tang Zhuo pointed at the candied haws and said to Xuan Ziyuan, "Do you want to eat?"
Xuan Ziyuan: "Don't eat sweets."
Tang Zhuo felt that "don't eat sweets" has almost become his mantra. He pointed to the riddle hanging on the lamp: "Guess it?" Xuan Ziyuan: "Not interested."
"Moon cake, do you want to eat it?"
"I've eaten it, it's unpalatable."
"Are you listening to the play?"
"noisy."
…
After a while, the answers he asked were all refusals. Tang Zhuo felt that when he was with Xuan Ziyuan, he really tested his ability to find words, otherwise he would be suffocated to death.
Tang Zhuo likes to visit mask stalls, monsters, monsters, chickens, dogs, pigs and sheep. It is most suitable for scaring people in the middle of the night. Tang Zhuo sometimes stood on tiptoe, sometimes bent over to look around, and found a pink pig face among the colorful masks, and there were two red lumps on both sides of his cheeks. The pig head grinned and looked very cute and festive.
Tang Zhuo's hands were itchy for a while, so he put it on his head, but who knew that the rope behind the mask was tangled in his hair, and he couldn't pull it away. Tang Zhuo was in a hurry and pain, tears were about to come out, and he hurriedly said to Xuan Ziyuan: "Senior!! Help me!!"
Xuan Ziyuan: "…"
Tang Zhuo tugged violently again, pulling his hair and pulling his scalp to the point of excruciating pain. Xuan Ziyuan stared at it speechlessly for a while, then helplessly reached out to help him untie it, and said in disgust, "It really is a pig."
Tang Zhuo grabbed his arm, lifted the pig's head mask with one hand, pouted and said, "I'm not a pig. Besides, it's so ugly to say 'pig', after all, it's a 'little pig', isn't it more cute?"
Xuan Ziyuan frowned: "Little pig? I think you are clearly a big pig's hoof."
Tang Zhuo: "..."
At this time, fireworks rose in the distant night.
In an instant, Tang Zhuo's eyes were lit up by the colored light. The fireworks were too far away and looked too small, and they had to be closer. He paid the money, put the pig's head mask on the back of his head, ran for a few steps, suddenly backed up, pointed to the side and said, "There is a wall over there, you can take a shortcut by turning over!"
But Tang Zhuo was too small, and after a long time, he couldn't get up. Xuan Ziyuan watched silently for a long time, then took a few steps backwards. After running, he slammed his hands and feet a little, turned over smoothly, and climbed up the wall.
Tang Zhuo's eyes widened: "...Why are you so skilled???"
Xuan Ziyuan pulled Tang Zhuo up. The two climbed down the wall, and after walking a short distance, they were already able to watch the fireworks very closely.
Tang Zhuo suddenly thought of something, poked Xuan Ziyuan, and said, "Look."
Hyun Jae-won looked over. I saw Tang Zhuo pretending to hold something mysteriously with both hands, and said, "Guess what, what do I have in my hand?" Of course, Xuan Ziyuan should not answer him. At this time, Tang Zhuo slowly opened his hands.
A fire butterfly flew out.
The fire butterfly is warm and dazzling, slowly flapping its wings and flying into the night sky, like a heart that never despairs, or a beautiful and passionate dream.
Xuan Ziyuan couldn't help but look up and watch the fire butterfly fly away, the fire turned into two dots in his ice blue eyes, and finally disappeared into the night.
Tang Zhuo was very proud, and glanced at Xuan Ziyuan with his hands behind his back. The fireworks were still in full bloom. Tang Zhuo sneaked a few steps closer to Xuan Ziyuan, pretending to be looking at the scenery in the sky seriously.
And under the night, a young girl in Tsing Yi slowly bent down, squatted on the edge of the river and gently sent away a lotus lantern.
She watched the lotus lantern go away, stood up, lowered her head and walked along the river alone. The night breeze blew gently across the sparkling river, plucking her veil.
A five- or six-year-old child ran past her. Under the darkness of the night on the other side of the river, a singer's voice swayed from somewhere, saying: "Spring hearts don't have flowers and flowers..."
At this time, Lin Luan was standing far away outside Huanling Stream, watching the family members board the boat and leave. Suddenly, a lotus lantern floated past his eyes. As if he suddenly heard something, he turned around and saw a full moon hanging high in the night sky.
When he turned around, a family in front of him had already boarded the boat. Lin Luan walked over.
Not long after the lotus lantern floated, it suddenly dimmed and sank sullenly.
…
A few days later, the head of the Xuan family, Xuan Yiqing, was besieged by a group of raptors and monsters on a boat when he went out. In the second month, the Xuan family held a banquet outside, and Fu Chulan, the head of the Fu family, was charged and taken to the Siyin Pavilion of the Xuan family. The Xuan family attacked the Fu family's broken armor city, and the Fu family was destroyed.
