Chapter Forty-Seven: Pei Xiantong of the Straw Man
Six years have passed, and He Xiangu is still that beautiful and moving appearance. While making people marvel at her maintenance skills, they have to make people think about it, could it be that this He Xiangu is genuine? Is it the real He Xiangu?
However, remembering that she dealt with herself, she was stunned by herself once, and vomited blood once, Tang Ning felt that it was unlikely.
"Why did General Tang come this time?" After saying the blessing of immeasurable longevity, He Xiangu sat down in her seat and went straight to the point.
Tang Ning hesitated, not knowing how to speak. Fortunately, He Xiangu knew it, laughed secretly in her belly, and said quietly on her face: "Child, entertain a few other guests, and I want to talk to General Tang about something for the division." ”
After saying that, He Xiangu got up, made a gesture to Tang Ning to signal him to follow, and then took Tang Ning out of the reception hall of Yinling Temple.
"Yes, Master." The young Dao Gu replied respectfully, and then watched Tang Ning and He Xiangu leave.
After the two left, Xiao Daogu smiled and said to the two, "What? Don't remember me? ”
"You are ......" Fang La really couldn't remember it for a while, Xiao Shi said that he was familiar with this aunt, and Fang La didn't feel much.
"You're a child?" Xiao Shi suddenly stood up and said with some surprise.
"Hee-hee!" Du Zhi smiled and said, "Haven't I changed a lot?" You didn't even seem to recognize me right away! ”
"Indeed." Xiao Shi said very seriously, and then he looked Du Zhi up and down, and said seriously: "I didn't believe it when I heard people say that the eighteenth female college has changed, but you are indeed a big change from before."
You used to be beautiful and cute, but now you are even more beautiful and cute. ”
The little stone, who followed Tang Ning and was deeply affected by Tang Ning's behavior, must have spoken very well.
As soon as Du Zhi heard Xiao Shi say this, his pretty face suddenly became red and very cute. He squirmed: "What's the matter...... Brother Shi, don't praise me like this, I'll be shy......"
Just when Du Zhi and Xiao Shimei were eye-catching, He Xiangu also took Tang Ning to the backyard.
After entering the room, He Xiangu shook the kettle on the table. Finding that there was still water, he picked up the cup and poured a glass for Tang Ning.
After Tang Ning thanked him, He Xiangu said, "Now you can tell me what you came here for, right?" ”
Tang Ning replied decently: "I was sent by the official family to conquer Jiaozhi, and I passed through Chuzhou on the way, so I wanted to visit you."
Although I have caused you a lot of trouble before, you still take care of me, and I am very grateful to you, so I will take this opportunity to come and see you. ”
He Xiangu covered her mouth and smiled: "I can't help it, but what I said is quite good, and I won't care about you." ”
Tang Ning smiled awkwardly, and listened to He Xiangu say again: "What about this matter?" Is there anything else going on? I'll tell you first, yes
Individuals are waiting for you, but I'm impatient. ”
As soon as he heard this, Tang Ning sighed and said, "What do you say about me, why does a girl who is so good fall in love with me?" ”
"It's not easy to hear that from your mouth." He Xiangu was a little surprised and said, "Poor Dao has always thought that you are a very confident person. ”
"Me? I don't have a lot of confidence. If I hadn't been taught by my ancestors, I would have been no different from all living beings in the world, and I might even be inferior to them. Tang Ning whispered, "And I'm just lucky."
Someone came to the rescue when I was almost eaten by a leopard, otherwise my bones would still be waiting to be found in Rooster Ridge. ”
"Luck is what makes you different from others." He Xiangu said with a smile: "It's not enough for others to have your luck, being valued by the emperor is not something that everyone can do." ”
Seeing that Tang Ning sighed and didn't speak, He Xiangu continued: "Although Poor Dao hasn't dealt with you much, Poor Dao can see from hearsay or with your own eyes that you are a very responsible person.
If you do something wrong, you won't pass the buck to others. He is also very responsible for his subordinates. When the kid came back, he told Poor Dao what you said when you were in the northwest, and Poor Dao was deeply touched.
In Poor Dao's view, it is enough for a man to be responsible for a woman to entrust her for life. That kid will like you, maybe because of that. ”
Speaking of this, He Xiangu smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, that child's personality is a little stubborn, although my Yin Ling Guan does not restrict disciples from getting married and having children, but I have always thought that it is best not to let her marry, otherwise, marrying someone who can't cure her will still be pitted."
But if I can leave it to you, I'm very relieved. The so-called one thing descends one thing, she is here with you, and she should not make any waves. ”
Tang Ning said with a sad face: "To be honest, there are enough women in my family. This time, at the request of my wife, I came to take her away and take her home.
I don't deny that I have a crush on her, but I always feel that it's unfair, and I don't know what she will think. ”
He Xiangu smiled when she heard this, and then lowered her head, as if she was reminiscing about the past. It was a long time before she looked up, but her eyes were a little red.
Tang Ning was feeling strange because He Immortal Gu didn't react for a long time, when he heard her say softly, "What are you thinking about so much?" You like her, she likes you, shouldn't you two be together? ”
“……”
It's hard to imagine that such childish words can come out of the mouth of a mature woman, and Tang Ning was quite surprised. In normal times, if someone said this to him, he would just laugh it off.
But when these words came out of He Xiangu's mouth, there was an inexplicable persuasiveness.
Seeing that Tang Ning's face became more and more determined, He Xiangu smiled with relief: "That child is now living in a hut by the stream in the back mountain, if you want to see her, go out through the back door and follow the path."
Walk straight to a thatched hut where she lived. ”
Tang Ning stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you Immortal Gu for your doubts." ”
"Actually, you're going to do it whether you're trying to figure it out or not, aren't you?" He Xiangu looked at Tang Ning teasingly and said.
Tang Ning, who was seen through by others, was very embarrassed, and arched his hand at He Xiangu in embarrassment, and then fled in embarrassment.
With Lin Wei, who was waiting outside the door, he took a lantern and walked to the back door. Going out through the back door, there was a path leading to the depths underfoot.
The road is lined with tall trees and half-human-high grass. On summer nights, the sound of crickets is always indispensable, and fireflies can occasionally be seen weaving through the shadows of the trees.
The moonlight shone down from the sky, and the moist air accompanied by the night breeze that came and went fell on Tang Ning's body and face.
Such a beautiful environment is rare in later generations. Speaking of which, Tang Ning has been busy doing things all these years, and he has not felt how beautiful this primitive, undestroyed world is.
Walking on this path, Tang Ning only felt relaxed and happy. It's as if the weight on his body flew out of the clouds all of a sudden, and the whole person was fluttering.
However, when Tang Ning came to the small hut with a candle flame, his complicated feelings flew back from the clouds.
Standing at the door of the small hut, Tang Ning had mixed feelings in his heart. He was excited and looking forward to it. Scared and entangled.
This is a strange creature like a man, and it is not strange that something happens to them when they get cheap and still behave.
handed the lantern to Lin Wei, and was about to make up his mind to knock on the door, when suddenly, he heard a voice from inside the house.
"Dog officer, dog officer, why didn't you come to me yet?"
The voice came from the window, although it was Pei Xiantong's self-talk, the voice was not loud. But Downing was at the door, just in time to hear it.
Lin Wei stepped aside, pointed to the window on the other side, and motioned for Pei Xiantong to sit at the window.
"If you don't come again, this straw man will be pierced by me......"
Straw man? Rotten? What is Pei Xiantong talking about? Tang Ning was puzzled, so he tiptoed to the window and secretly looked inside.
Then, he looked at Pei Xiantong, who noticed that someone was outside.
Looking down, he found that Pei Xiantong was holding a small figure made of grass in his hand. The villain had a piece of paper on his forehead with the word dog official written on it.
However, there are at least eight silver needles stuck in the straw man's crotch......
"......" Tang Ning hesitated for a moment, preparing to return the same way. The scene in front of me is really sad.
So he tiptoed away again, as if he had never been there.
Then, a scream pierced the walls of the thatched hut and pierced the silent sky......
