Chapter 48: Red jade flower goes down the mountain

From outside the courtyard came the laughter of A Liu and Yue Dadao, like rushing for some firecrackers, crackling green smoke, lined with red couplets and lanterns, it really smelled like a Chinese New Year.

The brazier inside the house was burning, and there were two sweet potatoes buried in it, which gave off a sweet smell in the winter night, which smelled better than any incense. Time seemed to congeal at the moment of the stabbing. Lu Chai leaned against Xiao Lan's chest, pulling a strand of his hair with his fingers. The whole person was soft and lazy, as if it would crook to the other side with a poke.

Xiao Lan asked, "Asleep?"

"No, I'm in a daze." Lu Chai said, "Waiting to make dumplings."

Xiao Lan held his wrist for a try, and said, "The pulse phase has improved a lot recently."

"Yeah." Lu Chai was half-dozing, "Hey veins are gone, so are the dragon and phoenix fetuses."

Xiao Lan hugged him up and teased: "What are you afraid of? With me, you can have as many as you want in the future."

"Nonsense." Lu Chai couldn't laugh or cry, sat upright and covered his mouth, and changed to a more comfortable position again.

The two people in the room were talking in low voices, their fingers clasped together, and they didn't want to separate, and no one could separate them. Surrounded by the sweet aroma of food, Xiao Lan took out a roasted yam from the brazier, broke it hot and picked out the sweetest honeyed meat, and wanted to go to the kitchen to find a small bowl, but he was held back by him: "Just like this. All right."

"Holding and gnawing?" Xiao Lan smiled, "This is not like your habit."

"You need a glass cup for drinking, a purple clay pot for tasting tea, and that's how you feel comfortable eating sweet potato." Lu Chai rolled up his sleeves, picked up half of it, and blew close to his mouth. "Put it in a white porcelain bowl and eat with chopsticks, gentle It's gentle, but it's cool and boring."

Xiao Lan sat back at the table, propped his head with one hand to watch him eat.

The matchmakers of the whole city are waiting in line for Lu Er to be the master, and his appearance is not bad. They look good when they write poems, they look good when they practice swordsmanship, they look good when they sit behind the counter of Shanhaiju, and they look good even when they roll their sleeves at this moment. The golden sweet potato should be extremely sweet, otherwise why should peach blossom's eyes always smile, and occasionally raise his eyes to meet each other, it is the light and light that only lovers can understand.

Xiao Lan leaned closer and gently licked the corner of his lips.

Lu Zhui paused and asked, "Did I eat my face?"

Xiao Lan smiled: "It looks good."

Lu Zhui said, "If you look good, then watch it for a while."

"What's the hurry." Xiao Lan sat next to him, "I have a lifetime to watch slowly in the future."

For a lifetime... really good three words. Lu Zhui also smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After eating dumplings that keep the year old, it's the New Year. After taking a bath, Xiao Lan hugged Lu and chased back to the bed, with her forehead pressed together and laughing.

Even if you don't do anything, just talk together like this, it's the best time in your life.

A heavy snow fell quietly, dyeing the entire small courtyard into a peaceful white.

In the early morning of the next day, the city was quiet and quiet. It was not an early stall on the street, and even the shadows of people could not be seen. Those in the martial arts came out to search for a large circle, but did not find anything to eat, so they cursed and returned to Li Mansion, full of resentment. I want to celebrate the New Year on weekdays, and I will be full of big fish, meat, wine and beauties. Where can I be like this, even if I eat half full on the New Year’s Eve, I will still be hungry on the morning of the first day of the new year. If I want to come, I will feel bad for a year.

"Is that Lu still in the city?" Someone had a grumpy voice and broke the silence first. "If they are not, then everyone will stay in this empty Li Mansion and do a lot, it is better to leave alone."

"Go back? Why don't you go back first?" someone shouted, "Don't want to fool the big guy and leave you money to help you pick up the bargain."

"What are you talking about!" The person in front of you refused to accept, staring at him and wanted to fight. "Everyone stays in the Li Mansion these days. Could it be that you still suspect that I have other ways."

"There is no way you are bluffing, so that everyone here is panicking, and then you are happy?" The other party is also a sharp mouth, and he yells back without thinking.

"You!" Seeing that the two sides are about to squabble, the others who want to watch the excitement rush to make room, and if they want to calm down, they will go up and pull it, blocking the big street. The people living on both sides were so frightened that they touched the door and added two more bolts for fear that they might be knocked in.

A little baby wearing a water-red jacket, holding a small windmill and jumping around, giggled and said: "What are you doing?" The voice was clear and bright, and it dangled to everyone present.

The people in the rivers and lakes were impatient and waved: "Go back soon, I'm going to make trouble here."

Xu Ye saw that these people were very fierce, and the little girl cried out, dropped the windmill and envelope in her hand and turned around and ran away, her little braid standing high on the top of her head.

The slight cold wind blew the envelope and floated half a foot forward. Someone picked it up with the tip of their eyes. After opening it, there was no letter inside. There was only a small jade pendant carved into the shape of a small flower, as if it was soaked in blood. It's so red.

Looking at the little girl again, she has disappeared without a trace, like a gust of wind.

The street suddenly became quiet.

"Well, could this be the red lotus cup?" After a long time, someone in the crowd asked.

There was an uproar at the scene. These trivial little sects had never seen anything in the world. Seeing that the jade carving red flower came from strange, immediately decided that even if it was not a red lotus cup, it would not be an ordinary object, and then looked at the jade flower. There is also a word "Lu" hidden in it, which makes it more certain. Had it not been for a relatively so-called "honored" old man who had come out to preside over the overall situation, he would have almost robbed him on the spot.

The little girl hid in the dark of the laneway, watching all the way back to Li's house with those gangsters who were smiling, holding the useless red jade flower as a treasure to Li Mansion, covering her mouth and giggling. The pink jade mask fell to the ground, revealing an old and ugly face, two pointed nails pulled the water-red shirt on her body, and reported the matter to Aunt Gui all the way back.

In the afternoon, new news spread under the mountain, and I don't know who released it. The people who said that the Mingyue Tomb also came to Wushuang City, the purpose is also the red lotus lantern.

If you change to the normal way of the world, even if you want it in your heart, if the real master comes, you will at least do superficial work and won't make yourself seem so profitable. But the little school who was originally a dead fish and rotten shrimp would not have so many worries. After hearing that Aunt Gui was also in Frost City, the first reaction was to quickly grab the red jade flower and run away. When I rushed to the main hall, I saw other sects also arguing. Naturally, it was a scuffle again, and the cursing continued to bleed, and it would have stirred up smoke on the first day of the new year.

At the end of the fight, one person really couldn't bear it. He came out and stood on the stage and said loudly, "The treasure is left here, protected by dozens of our sects, so Aunt Ghost won't be able to take it clearly, otherwise no matter who takes it, you When I can walk out of Frost City? That is the tomb of Mingyue that swallows people without seeing bones!"

The noise at the scene gradually decreased.

Someone said loudly: "But if we get the red lotus cup, we will definitely go to the Mingyue Tomb to find the treasure. Can we avoid Aunt Ghost?"

"Now I have to think of a way." The man sat on the stage and signaled everyone to gather, "Think about it, if all the brothers present divide the treasures in the tomb, even if the number is small, it will be better than this time. Killing each other, was picked up by Aunt Ghost, right?"

Everyone nodded their heads in deep conviction, and all listened attentively. They didn't even bother to eat dinner.

As night fell, Ah Liu took a steaming hot pot and came up with a light taste, saying that it was made by Mrs. Tao herself, and it was a taste that could not be eaten elsewhere.

As the lantern swayed in the courtyard, Lu Chai held a small bowl of soup and drank slowly, his cheeks glowing with rosy and healthy, as if even the poison was cured.

"Eat a piece of meat?" Xiao Lan asked.

Lu Chai nodded and passed the bowl over.

Mrs. Tao smiled and said: "That's right, don't always bully Xiao Mingyu, he is much better than you."

Xiao Lan bent her mouth and continued to peel the shrimp shells for Lu Chase. He couldn't eat more if he was injured. One or two tasted the assembly.

Ah Liu looked sad, why this person even knew his father liked to eat seafood.

"I'll eat it for you." Yue Dadao gave him a piece of braised pork.

A Liudao: "I don't eat green onions."

"You are a man of five big and three thick, how come there are so many problems." Yue Dadao complained, but thinking that this person is actually quite good, so he stretched out his chopsticks to carefully pick out the chopped green onion from the meat, and said, "Hey, Okay, eat."

Ah Liu looked at her up and down, and said sincerely: "I think you can still marry."

What to marry? Yue Dadao vigorously took a mouthful of rice, and then remembered the horrible plume.

He hasn't appeared until now, I think he must be a very, very bad person.

Lu Chai smiled as he watched the two of them arguing, even with his own appetite bettered, put down the tableware and added a pot of hot tea, before the cup was hot, but a man opened the door outside.

"Madam, young master." Lao Li saluted.

Xiao Lan frowned slightly, and when he came back this time, he was afraid that something might happen again.

Yue Dadao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Lao Li did not drink it, but whispered to Tao Yu'er, "I don't know who is instigated by those Jianghu sects under the mountain, as if they are going to gather together to deal with Mingyue Tomb."

Lu Zhui and Xiao Lan looked at each other.

Tao Yuer let out a "pouch" laugh: "Is there any such good thing?"

"In the afternoon, it was just a rumor. In the evening, I started walking through the streets to find people. It seems that the posture is going to be real." Li Lao said, "but his subordinates have not found out where the people from Mingyue Tomb are currently living. ."

Tao Yuer made a cup of tea by herself, and raised her eyes to ask Xiao Lan: "I heard that someone is going to besiege your aunt ghost."

Xiao Lan said: "The red lotus lantern is the object of the tomb of Mingyue. If the aunt finds it, it is reasonable for the sects under the mountain to gather and attack it."

"What about you?" Tao Yuer asked, "What do you think?"

Xiao Lan said, "I will go down the mountain tomorrow."

Tao Yuer hadn't spoken yet, Lu Chaixian's heart tightened. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Lan squeezed his hand under the table.

Tao Yuer said again: "Where is Mingyu? Let's talk about your thoughts. Why did the mountain make such a fuss?"

With a little sweat in his palm, Lu Chai held him tighter with his backhand, and said, "It's hard to say now, it doesn't hurt to go down and take a look."
