Chapter 100: The Youth's Heart
This young man is really a little embarrassed. However, Jing Mo really "knows a little about him". Jing Mo didn't know if Nie Xiaoman's words just now were really sure at this time. If Xiaoman just said big things to trick this young man, he would inevitably make a fool of himself on the spot!
When Jing Mo looked at Nie Xiaoman, he saw that he had swapped his folded legs in one place, and smiled slightly.
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Mengzheng Xiaoyou, do you want to test my intelligence?" Isn't it? Haha, of course I do. But what I know is whether everything is in line with the facts of your experience, so I have to ask you to confirm them one by one...... Jingmo, didn't I promise you that this story would be worthy of all your previous waits? Listen, now is the story I'm going to tell, the story of an infatuated teenager. The young man blushed at first, and then looked at Nie Xiaoman with a look of disbelief.
Seeing that the other party was unhurriedly waiting for the opening of his story, Nie Xiaoman gently shook the pu fan, leaned against the back of the chair, and rested his right leg on his left knee.
However, under the effect of Xiaoman's fan, the incense mist also became treacherous, like a cloud of mist condensed and did not disperse, and the young man looked at it blankly for a while before he heard Nie Xiaoman start to speak.
Xiaoman said: "The protagonist of my story is a teenager who has just become an adult and committed - sorry, this teenager is also in love." Because of this rebellion, he followed his parents to Jinling for refuge. While on the riverboat, the boy befriended a girlfriend who was traveling for the same purpose—a sixteen-year-old young lady who had never been out of the house, and who was innocently curious about everything. In this way of escaping the troubles, it is not surprising that a man and a woman make a friend. But the boy's courtship mentality is too naïve; Not only can it be called impatient, but it is also almost reckless. With only one day of friendship, he actually courted the girl, and promised her the same gift of affection—that is, a treasure in the young man's family. ”
Jing Mo peeked at the young visitor's complexion, red and white, looking up for a while, and lowering for a while, which can be regarded as infinitely changing. This young man had a half-believing attitude before, perhaps because of Nie Xiaoman's tone, like an old qualified "storyteller", he was frustrated and calm, and his demeanor changed from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to shyness.
Nie Xiaoman didn't seem to see it, he slowly shook the pu fan, and said to himself: "When the river boat arrived in Jinling, a relative of the young man came on the boat to greet him, and said that he had booked an inn for them. The young man could hear it, so he secretly told his girlfriend the address of the inn so that he could communicate later. ”
After a pause, Xiao Man said, "When he arrived at the inn, the young man waited for the girl's letter while trying to steal one of his own pearls, a token of his promise. That Dingyan Zhu was what a teenager should have, and he could ask his parents for it in a dignified manner. But on the way to avoid chaos, he did not have the courage to show his lovesickness to his parents after all. So he couldn't help but steal. ”
Tian Mengzheng's face was already red. His head could no longer be raised, his body trembled slightly, and his hands pressed on his knees for a while, and then they clasped his finger bones together and made a "click" sound. This kind of secret in the depths of his heart, once Nie Xiaoman said it, every word pierced his heart!
Nie Xiaoman continued: "The next day, the woman's letter really came. The gist of the letter, in addition to some words often said in love stories, also explained that her father had rented a house on a certain road because the cost of the inn was too large and the trouble could not end immediately. She also said that for emotional friendship, there is no need to borrow jewelry as a token, so she refused to give beads. The maiden also told the boy that her house was very well guarded, and told him not to send letters, lest he gossip, and to inform him when she had an opportunity to communicate or to meet. From this point of view, it seems that her parents had been aware of her interactions with the boy, and had expressed opposition, which was why she was so careful. ”
Tian Mengzheng listened and his lips closed several times, and he began to wonder why the stranger in front of him was so clear about his affairs, as if he had been watching him from the side, and the young man was a little frightened.
The boy said, "Strange! - My lord, how do you know? Could it be that you were—"
But Nie Xiaoman still ignored it, and said to himself: "The girl's first letter was sent on the first day after she moved into the new house. On the fifteenth day she sent a second letter, in which she told the boy that her parents were going out that evening, and that she had asked the boy to meet at her door in the evening, so that he might have the opportunity to say a few words. Once the young man received such a letter, the pride in his heart could be imagined. That night he found the place as promised. Who knew that this young man who was carried away by love actually went to the wrong person in excitement! ”
When Jing Mo heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "I see! ”
Xiao Man continued: "But to be fair, the young man will find the wrong temple gate and worship the wrong Bodhisattva, in addition to his recklessness, there is originally another reason. He waited outside the door for a while, but was disappointed when he didn't see his lover come out. So he drew two symbols on the bluestone steps outside the gate, and wrote the word "nine", wanting to tell the girl that he would visit the ninth hour of the next day, that is, after Shen Shi. When he went the next night, he was disappointed. He drew another symbol and changed it to a cross. The boy himself thought that the girl had missed the appointment twice, and because the appointment was too early, she was easily hindered by her family, so he planned to postpone it for an hour, so that the girl could come out to meet in private.
On the seventeenth day, the boy suddenly received a third letter, which asked him why he had broken his promise, and told him that if he had a letter, he could sneak into her house so that she could read it herself. The letter also told the young man that the words and phrases in the letter should be kept strictly secret, and that no one else should be pretended, and that the young man himself should be involved, and that the letter should not be marked with any name, so as not to cause trouble in the hands of other people. Thus, on the evening of seventeen, the boy quietly threw himself into the house of his lover, whom he had taken by improper means, which he had intended to be a token. ”
Jing Mo looked at the young man, his face was blue, red, and white for a while, and he didn't know what he thought in his heart.
Xiao Man continued: "The method by which the young man obtained that bead thought he had a well-planned plan and was foolproof. Unexpectedly, on the morning of the 18th, the next day, his family found out. Fortunately, no one suspected the young man's actions at that time, and he could still stay out of the matter. ”
