Chapter 37: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
The Yun family's guards were very conscientious, even though it was the night of the Yuan Day. But there is no slackness in the sentry everywhere, and every sentry is a change of guard every hour. The people on duty tonight are all old people, and their eyes are staring in all directions of the courtyard like night owls.
This is the annex of Mohou Mansion, which is located in the suburbs, and there are no people around it at all. Even at night, it's hard to get close.
When the goshawk heard that Yun Xiao had come out, he rushed over with two of his relatives.
"Forget it, I'm just walking around. You and your brothers have had a good drink, and it has been hard work for a year. Two glasses for my brothers. Yun Xiao walked in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming, and stepping on the snow to find the plum is also an elegant thing, but it is a pity that no one shares it with him.
"If Master Hou is bored, you can go and have fun with your brothers."
"Forget it, you're all restrained with me. Today is the first day, and the rules of our family are that everyone must have dumplings to eat. In the kitchen, every guard who went down to the guard had to eat hot dumplings. If one of them can't eat it, he will beat them on the board. ”
"No" Goshawk instructed the guards to guard strictly, and then was urged back by Yun Xiao.
To be a big guy is to have the consciousness of being a big guy, and after a good feast, you will immediately change the taste as soon as you sit in the middle. There is no longer a loud fist order to kill, and it is better to be alone here to enjoy the plum blossoms than to let everyone be restrained.
In the dark night, a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on the heavily guarded courtyard. Chi Lian's teeth chattered from the cold, even though the fur all over his body wrapped the delicate body into a ball. But women are naturally afraid of the cold, and it is even worse in such a dripping and icy weather.
Damn the Yun family, they were still guarding so strictly on the Yuan Day. Are they not guarding the festive season? And this damn courtyard, built alone in the suburbs, it's impossible to get close. And there seemed to be a dog in the courtyard, because a dull barking of dogs was heard several times when approaching. If you listen to the sound, you will know that it is a mastiff on the grassland.
Chi Lian had been lurking in the annex of the Jimo Marquis Mansion for half a month, and she was sad to find that she couldn't blend into this annex no matter what. All the food and drink can only be delivered to the main road at the entrance of the annex, and even the people cannot get one step closer to the gate of the annex.
In the past half a month, Chi Lian has played various identities, such as a peasant woman, an old mother, a beggar, and even a wandering warlock. But whether it was to go in for a night or to beg for a drink, they were ruthlessly refused. It looks like he wants to enter the Yun family, but I'm afraid he can only turn into a bird and fly in.
Chi Lian reluctantly retreated into the depths of the woods, where there was a small shack she had built. She can only rest here for the last half month. Even the fire didn't dare to start, because the fireworks would attract the Yun family's guards to check it.
Nibbled on a few bites of the cake that was frozen like a brick. Chi Lian no longer had an appetite. I fell asleep in the shack, afraid that I would be really frozen, hungry and tired in the snow for a day, and I really missed Chang'an. At least there are hot springs there to bathe.
Yun Xiao circled around the inside and outside of the courtyard a few times, and finally couldn't resist the attack of the sleeping demon. He went back to the house and fell asleep. Only the energetic Yun Mi tossed the vigil in the main room. Ignoring Ellis, who nodded sleepily.
The first rays of the new year illuminate the land of Jimo. The sun's rays always give a feeling of warmth. Even though the feeling was only psychological in the early morning, Chi Lian opened his eyes and felt his head heavy. The two eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and the throat seemed to be covered with a cloud of mud. Go up and down with your own breathing. The limbs are as soft as noodles, and the weak sagging can't even move. The strength in her body seemed to be drained, and a sense of powerlessness spread all over her body.
Cold, very cold. This is the only feeling that Chi Lian feels, and the coldness in her heart hits her even more than this coldness. I'm sick, damn it, I'm sick in this cold and snowy place. Chi Lian knew that this time he was ten dead. Someone may find that they have been gnawed by a wolf to the bone, and hope that the good Samaritan will bury him.
The headache seemed to explode, but the only sound in his throat was chirping. The inside of the two eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and they were so heavy that they tried hard to open them. But in the end, she gave up and accepted her fate, how many people she had killed in this life, even she had forgotten about herself. It seems good to be able to die quietly like this.
Red Lian gave up resistance, and the two eyelids closed like sluices of water. Endless darkness enveloped her, and she may never see the light of day again in this life.
"Daddy wake up, daddy wake up......" The energetic baby girl is trying all kinds of ways to deal with the father who pretends to be unconscious. From fragrant kisses, all the way to pinching the nose. went to pick out his ears again, and after seeing that it was ineffective, Xiao Yunmi went out with a twist.
Yun Xiao opened one eye, and Ellis next to him was already laughing happily. Suddenly Yun Mi broke in again, Yun Xiao hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, to see what tricks the baby girl still had.
Xiao Yunmi grabbed two snow balls in his hands, and Ellis hurriedly grabbed them. Yun Xiao is afraid of cold and has already had several severe colds. If you have to say it again, maybe you will die, and no one in the Yun family dares to joke about Yun Xiao's body.
"Xiao Mi Mi is obedient, you can't use this to deal with Daddy. Daddy like you is going to get sick. Ellis ordered the maid to throw away the snow ball, and took Yun Mi's cold little hand and said softly.
Yun Xiao's heart was warm, and it seemed that it was really the right choice to hand over Yun Mi to Ellis to raise.
"Oh......" Xiao Yunmi has always been sensible, and when he saw Ellis say that Yunxiao would get sick like this, he immediately gave up this vicious idea.
Like a silkworm, he climbed onto Yun Xiao's bed one by one, pushed Yun Xiao and begged: "Daddy is up, hurry up and fight the fox with the goshawk." Yun Mi wants a new hat......"
It turned out that this girl was so active that she wanted to help her beat the fox to make a hat and a scarf. It seems that this little girl had already heard what Ellis said yesterday.
Yun Mi saw that his father didn't move, and after thinking about it. He lay on Yun Xiao's chest, and his little ass was aimed at Yun Xiao's face. The sound ......of "porphyry" is sharp and slender, and the aftersound lingers.
"I'm ......" Yun Xiao immediately sat up, his hands fanning his nose back and forth.
Ellis was already laughing and was lying on the couch with his stomach in his hands. Even the maids laughed like gourds. Xiao Yunmi was even lying on Yun Xiao's lap, hehe's silly.
Yun Xiao was so angry that he grabbed his calf and slapped his little buttocks twice. Unexpectedly, Yun Mi didn't cry. Just pulled the corner of Yun Xiao's clothes, "Daddy went to beat Yun Mi as a fox, Yun Mi asked for a new hat." Yun Xiao suddenly lost his temper and had to get up obediently.
It's over, and it's a little woman with a fanatical love for fur. As a deputy responsible father, Yun Xiao reluctantly got up and went to make a hat for the eldest girl on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Yun Xiao reluctantly got dressed, hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, and called Goshawk and Gong Along out of the courtyard. Just got on Xiao Jin, Xiao Bai shook his head and tail from behind and followed. It seems that last night's big plate of dumplings still worked, at least Xiaobai was not angry with himself.
Gong Along's two hounds were in front, and Yun Xiao led a hundred guards to pounce viciously on Laoshan Mountain. It seems that if you don't clean up all the big and small foxes on Laoshan Mountain, you will never withdraw your troops.
A breath of cold air can make people hold it for a long time, and all of them are spewing white air. Gong Along carried a big iron gun on his shoulder, and ran fast with two long legs. The entire Laoshan Mountain was suddenly overwhelmed, and even the wild wolves, who had never been afraid of people, hurriedly rushed to the mountain. Who knows these people are not interested in wolf skin senses.
Xiaobai was very dissatisfied with the formation of Gong Along's two hunting dogs in front of him, as a strong man in the forest. Leopards are definitely more dangerous than mastiffs, and the guys on the grassland come to the forest to mix when they have nothing to do, and there is really no leopard in their eyes.
Countless pheasants and hares were driven out by two mastiffs, and the guards raced to kill the wild creatures that came out of the way. It's up to you whether you have any game to eat tonight, there are still many brothers waiting in the courtyard, and you must not let them down.
The hunt went very smoothly, but the legendary fox did not appear for a long time.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed in the grass, and the little white lightning rushed out.
Thank you to the friends who voted for the monthly ticket and reward, and thank you to the Dragon King. (To be continued......)
