The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

He went around these few rooms and picked out a room that was not bad.

I got some straw from the outside and spread it inside the house, which was used as a bed, and I also got some broken wooden boards to make it a table.He wants to live here forever.This time the accommodation fee is completely saved, and I will live here when I go out this time.

Ning Caichen didn't want to go to the county town to fight for rooms with those scholars, firstly, it was already full, and secondly, the rent there was really expensive, so he was a bit reluctant.

Chapter 316 Nie Xiaoqian

After Ning Caichen went out to tidy up the room, Yang Heng randomly picked a room not far away.

Entering the room, Yang Heng also took some firewood and spread it on the floor as a bed.

After tidying up the room, Yang Heng thought about it, and finally brought his own horse into the room.

That's not true. Yang Heng wanted to live with Ma because Yang Heng knew that this place was a gathering place for ghosts and ghosts.

If the horse had been left outside, it might have become a skeleton the next morning.

After tidying up, Yang Heng sat cross-legged on the firewood and began to practice that night.

In the dead of night, Yang Heng suddenly heard someone talking outside the north wall.

Hearing this voice, Yang Heng understood in his heart that those monsters might have come out.

But Yang Heng didn't rush out to subdue demons, because Yang Heng had already made up his mind to watch a good show.

Yang Heng didn't go out here, but Ning Caichen's side was different.

It turned out that Ning Caichen hadn't fallen asleep.

People are like this, when they go to a new place, they feel fresh, everything is new, easy to get excited, and difficult to fall asleep.

He couldn't fall asleep all the time, so he was making pancakes on the bed, when suddenly he heard someone talking outside the house, and it sounded like a woman's voice, which seemed to come from the north of the house.

He became even more curious. When he came during the day, he walked around and didn't see anyone. At this moment, people came out again.He couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he got up, walked out the door gently, came to the north wall, and peeped there through the stone window.

I saw a small courtyard on the other side of the wall. There was a woman in her forties, and an old lady, wearing a red dress and a silver hairpin. She was hunchbacked, old and old.Two people were chatting there.

Although they are two elderly people, Ning Caichen is a generous person, and this eavesdropping behavior is not old-fashioned.Of course, he didn't do it on purpose, he just wanted to see what's going on here.

The young woman said, "Why hasn't Xiaoqian come here? It's been so long."

The old lady replied: "It should be coming soon." The two of them were waiting here for someone to come, but the person was late.

The woman said again: "Does she have a grudge against grandma?"

The old lady replied: "I haven't heard of it. Although I didn't say it, it looks a little unpleasant."

From this point of view, this Xiaoqian is not a person with a deep family background, and she is full of joy and anger.Maybe I am dissatisfied with the leader and refuse to resign, so I can only express it in this way.

The woman said again: "That girl doesn't look like a good person to get along with."

Listening to this name, it is like a family.A grandmother, a mother, and a daughter.

The title looks like, but the meaning of the words sounds like a workplace, a manager, a supervisor, or an employee.There are only three people in this company.

Before the two could finish their conversation, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came, she looked very beautiful.

Of course, from Ning Caichen's point of view, everyone's definition of beauty is different.Because he was far away, he couldn't see clearly, and he looked vaguely, and this was the impression in his mind.

The old lady laughed when she saw the little girl coming, and said, "It seems that you can't speak ill of people behind your back. We were talking about you, and you came quietly. Fortunately, we didn't speak ill of you."

This is a bit like in reality, women gossip behind their backs, and like to do one thing in person and another in the back.It's like this in reality, spreading the wife's tongue behind her back, and kissing face to face like one person, are these people tired?

The old lady went on to say: "Little lady, you are so beautiful, just like the beauties in the paintings. I am just an old lady. If I were a man, I would be fascinated by you and be seduced by you." .”

This sentence is a bit like putting a high hat on employees, praising employees for their expertise in this area, and encouraging employees to work hard.

The little girl was probably used to hearing these words, and replied: "That's what grandma said, no one else would say that I am good."

Then the woman talked to the little girl again, and Ning Caichen couldn't hear what they said.These two sentences were also overheard by Ning Caichen inadvertently. (Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believed.)

Ning Caichen overheard a few words and felt that his behavior was not good, so he went back to his room.When he came out, he also came out out of curiosity.Now that I understand it, I will go back.

After Ning Caichen left, the old lady smiled and said to the little girl: "The temple is very lively today, and there are two more people here, one is a scholar and the other is a Taoist priest."

The woman heard this and said: "That's just right, we haven't had enough to eat for a few days, and it's time for Xiaoqian to show off her skills."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiaoqian.

Xiaoqian showed an unwilling look on her face, but she finally nodded unconsciously when she saw the woman's sharp eyes.

Seeing that Xiaoqian agreed, the old lady hurried out to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, what are the whole family doing all this? Xiaoqian, let's go get busy."

Nie Xiaoqian nodded and drifted away.

When Nie Xiaoqian was gone, the woman raised her head and said to the old lady: "You should be wary of pointing at the girl, this girl is obedient on the surface, but in fact she has a lot of ghosts in her mind."

"Haha, she's just a little ghost. Her real body altar is in my hands. Could it be that she can still fly to the sky?"

After the old lady finished speaking, it seemed that she didn't want to mention these unpleasant things, so she smiled and said to the woman: "Let's go back and wait for the food. We can finally have a full meal these days."

Seeing that the old lady was unwilling to talk about this, the lady stopped talking, but smiled and complimented the old lady, and the two of them disappeared outside the courtyard wall.

Besides, Xiaoqian floated into the temple, went to the middle of the courtyard, and looked at several houses.

The one in the middle is naturally Yan Chixia's residence.

But this Yan Chixia is not easy to mess with, even grandma is very afraid of this person, so this person is not on the menu.

Below are the two people who came today.

The first is the place where the Taoist priest lives.

Although in Xiaoqian's eyes, the Taoist priest was nothing special and should be an ordinary person, but for some reason, as soon as she approached that room, Xiaoqian felt terrified, as if something bad had happened.

Since she was afraid, Xiaoqian took it easy and let the Taoist priest go.

Therefore, Xiaoqian turned her target to another scholar, which is also considered unlucky for you. Anyway, I have given my grandma a meal today, otherwise I would have nothing good to eat.

Besides, Ning Caichen tossed around for a while in the middle of the night, and when he returned to bed, he finally felt a little tired.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he felt that someone had entered his room.As I said before, when he came, except for Yan Chixia's house, the doors of all other houses were ajar.

And in this yard, besides Yan Chixia and Yang Heng, he is the only one.

So he slept and didn't guard against anyone coming. After all, he had watched it all at the beginning, and there was no one else in the yard.

Ordinarily, when I was in an unfamiliar environment, I felt like closing the door at night.That's how I go out.Take some psychological comfort, I don't know why Ning Caichen has such a big heart.

The door couldn't be closed, he felt someone pushing the door and came in, Ning Caichen got up quickly.Although there is nothing of value in the house.But he can't sleep if he comes in for a personal visit in the middle of the night.What's more, I don't know what is coming in.Gotta get up and see.

Ning Caichen was still very curious. Just now he was going to sleep, and he would go to see what people said. Now that he was in his room, he had to get up and look.

As soon as he saw it, he felt a little ecstasy in his heart, it was the pretty little girl he peeked at just now, the one who was gorgeous.

He was surprised and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The girl laughed when she heard him ask this question, she probably heard it from others all the time, she got used to it, so she said: "It's late at night, I can't sleep anyway, let's entertain each other."

This sentence was made up by me. Nie Xiaoqian is a famous lady, so I can't say it so bluntly, but the general meaning is like this.

When Ning Caichen was in his hometown, he said in front of many relatives and friends that "there is no color in life".

Besides, there are still people around here. If he takes this woman in, won't his reputation be ruined if it spreads out in the future?

So Ning Caichen said implicitly: "You have to be careful of others' comments and gossip behind your back. Whether you are afraid or not, I am afraid of what others will say. If someone finds out, you will have no face to face others."

Ning Caichen is a person who cares a lot about what other people think. In fact, living like this is quite tiring. Everyone has their own bottom line, worthy of their own conscience, and just live in their own way. Without hurting others, let There's nothing wrong with being happy with yourself.

When the girl heard him give the reason, she said, "It's late at night, no one will know."

Seeing that the girl was not leaving, Ning Caichen was still looking for reasons for him, so he yelled at the girl to leave again, this time his words escalated.

But whatever you say, the girl won't leave. Whatever you say, I have something to say.

This time Ning Caichen became anxious and said, "Will you go? If you don't go, I'll call for someone. There are two people living nearby."

When the girl heard what Ning Caichen said, she was frightened.No more entanglement with Ning Caichen, turned around and left.Can go out and come back.

It was so frightened that I forgot what I was going to do.

After Nie Xiaoqian came back, she took out an ingot of gold and put it on Ning Caichen's quilt.

Before the girl could go out, Ning Caichen picked up the gold and threw it into the yard.Cooperate with the door where gold goes out before the girl.

Ning Caichen said: "This kind of ill-gotten wealth, money from unknown sources, don't touch my things. In other words, I don't want money from unknown sources."

This money is even more powerful than beauty.It is not easy for a poor person to resist the temptation of money.Anyway, I guess, I can't resist, of course, no one tempted me with money.

The girl felt ashamed when she heard what Ning Caichen said. She went out, picked up the gold, and said to herself, "This man is really hard-hearted. Is this a normal person?"

Speaking of this, the girl Xiaoqian also felt admiration for Ning Caichen.

Chapter 317 Is it Good or Evil

The next morning, Yang Heng got up in the morning and stretched himself in the room. Although he didn't sleep much last night, he watched a good show, which was considered entertainment.

Yang Heng took out the bag of dry food and casually stuffed it with two mouthfuls.

After breakfast, Yang Heng went out and saw that the door of Yan Chixia's room was still closed. He shook his head, ignored it, and walked to Ning Caichen's side.

As a result, after knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened it, only the sound of snoring was heard inside.

It seems that Ning Caichen didn't sleep well last night. He should have fallen asleep around dawn, so Yang Heng stopped bothering him. Who made him work too hard last night?

When the sun was high, Ning Caichen finally got up, and after eating something, he went out to chat with others.

But that Yan Chixia seemed to be out of gregarious, the door was still closed at noon, there was no way, if she didn't talk to anyone in this wilderness, she would feel really bored, so Ning Caichen went to find her Yang Heng.

Yang Heng still has a good impression of Ning Caichen.

When he was reading the book, he didn't think that Ning Caichen was capable, but after the real incident yesterday, he realized how difficult it is for a person to stick to his heart when facing the temptation of money and beauty.

Let's not talk about such a large ingot of gold, just talk about Nie Xiaoqian, this person doesn't say she is a human or a ghost, but she is so beautiful, but a man will not be tempted.

And Ning Caichen was able to refuse the temptation of money and beauty, which shows that he is a person with a bottom line in his heart, and such a person can make friends.

So the two sat in the yard and started chatting.

That Yang Heng came from modern times, all kinds of knowledge came out one after another, and it didn't take long for him to knock Ning Caichen unconscious.

So in the middle of the afternoon, Ning Caichen had already regarded Yang Heng as his best friend, and at the same time admired Yang Heng's talents.

When it was almost dusk, Yang Heng and Ning Caichen were planning to have dinner together, which could be regarded as a way to enhance their relationship.

But at this time, people came to the temple again.

Yang Heng and Ning Caichen stood in the yard and looked at the two people who came in, a little confused.

It turned out that these two people were a master and a servant, they were well dressed, they looked like they should be rich, and they came to live in this small temple in the wilderness.

The two people who came in found that there were still people living in this small temple, and there was a hint of joy on their faces, but they quickly covered it up.

That master dodged the square steps, walked up to Yang Heng and Ning Caichen and bowed to them.

The next few people started to call each other names, so they knew each other.

After getting to know each other, Yang Heng knew that this person was a scholar from Lanxi, and he brought a servant to participate in the activities in this city.

As I said earlier, learning makes the case.

This looks like a rich man with servants.Live in the house on the east side.It seems that the accommodation conditions in Jinhua City were really tight at that time, and all the rich people lived in ruined temples.

Although Yang Heng and Ning Caichen greeted this Lanxi native, they closed the door after just a few polite words. It seemed that they had no intention of getting close to the two of them.

But this is also reasonable. Although Yang Heng is well dressed, a Taoist priest or other student doesn't need to have any deep contact with you.

Not to mention Ning Caichen, it can be seen that the family conditions are not good, and it is not good for a rich person to associate with someone like you.

However, this matter did not affect the mood of Yang Heng and Ning Caichen. The two of them pooled their dry food together, fetched some water from the small pond outside, and boiled it with firewood. Just sat cross-legged in the yard and ate and drank.

This dinner can be regarded as enhancing the relationship between two people.

Then the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.

But the Lanxi scholar lived in the east room, stayed for one night, and then died.

I don't know how he died, anyway, when Yang Heng and Ning Caichen came to check the next day, all they saw was a small eye on the sole of the dead body's foot, like an awl piercing it, and there was blood flowing out of it.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that that place is Yongquan Point. In "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", Zhang Wuji took Zhao Min's foot and pressed the Yongquan Point, and Zhao Min couldn't stop laughing. It is also mentioned in "Wulin Biography", Bai Zhantang went to the official road to stop a car, and asked for a cow's Yongquan acupoint, but was trampled by a cow and broke his finger.

The Lanxi scholar didn't laugh out loud, and the spring gushed out directly, and he dug a well in the sole of his foot, and I don't know who made it.He just died in a daze.
