devil may cry

Chapter 48. Tossing and Turning

This picture is quite old. A few days ago, Bei Mingyi had a whim and wanted to plant a pot of flowers for fun, so he took Huo Shenfang to dig the soil in the yard. Unexpectedly, he didn’t dig a few times. Bei Mingyi just Noticing that the soil layer was unusually uneven, he dug open the gravel and soil to reveal a pottery pot. Inside the pot was this picture.

A lot of the writing on it is blurred, and the drawing is not clear, so there is no way to start, but Bei Mingyi was excited by the mindless adventure, and he has been studying this picture non-stop for the past few days. in a circle.

Hmm... Anyway, in Huo Shenfang's eyes, Bei Mingyi has lost weight. You see, he usually eats three bowls of rice, but now he eats two and a half bowls. Does it make him feel bad?

The four of them watched for a while, Huo Shenfang looked at Bei Mingyi's face and carefully suggested that it would be better to take Xue Luoqian and Bei Mingyan to see his grandfather first, and it would not be too late to discuss the matter of the treasure map afterwards, and they ran away again No, Bei Mingyi agreed.

……

It can be seen that this "heartless" is very popular in Huo's family, but after more than a month, even the city secretary seems to be familiar with him as if they have known him for 80 years. The younger brother is like this, so it is better to be a big brother .

Huo Shenfang took them all the way to Guining Shenyuan where Huo Liancheng lived, and had to stop many times on the way, waiting for Bei Mingyi to chat with someone.

Bei Mingyan thought so too, Yi'er has always been like this, she can't suffer anywhere, not to mention, with Huo Shenfang around, everything is really smooth and smooth.

In this way, it seems that he does not intend to go home and inherit the position of Patriarch.

The Yu San notation in Xue Luoqian's hand is really a hot potato right now.

All the way to the deep courtyard, chrysanthemums, bougainvillea, crape myrtle and other flowers are blooming. The courtyard is deep and the water flows.

Huo Liancheng is getting old, he doesn't like extravagance, Gui Ning lives up to his name, he usually doesn't go out when there is no big business, sips tea and enjoys flowers, raises flowers and amuses birds, and spends his old age peacefully. Lian Cheng's affairs are all in the hands of his son Huo Ju To do it, that is, Huo Shenfang's father.

The people arrived, but unfortunately, Huo Liancheng went out, saying that it was an old friend from Beishan, and Xue Yaoshan and the other three went hunting on the mountain ten miles away.

When Bei Mingyi heard what the housekeeper said, his eyes widened: "No, no, it can't be grandfather, no, master is here?"

Bei Mingyan frowned and said, "You didn't go back to Beishan, didn't you explain to your family?"

Bei Mingyi said with a guilty conscience: "I asked my second brother to tell..."

As soon as Huo Shenfang heard what the housekeeper said, he immediately said, "It's so cold, why is there no one following grandfather when he goes out?"

The housekeeper is an elderly man, and treats him respectfully, neither humble nor overbearing: "Young master, the master is going out, we can't control it, and he won't let me tell you."

"Then you can wear mink fur?"

The butler shook his head.

Who will wear that kind of stuff when hunting?Fancy but not useful! ——Huo Liancheng said it himself.

Huo Shenfang sighed, "I'm afraid I'll be sick again when I come back."

"Grandpa Liancheng...has been in poor health these years?" Bei Mingyan said.

Huo Shenfang nodded: "It's not as good as before." He always felt that he was in good health.

"Who said that, I think it's very strong, it's the same as before!"

Huo Shenfang smiled faintly: "Since grandfather is going out, let me arrange for my two elder brothers to stay here first. Where are your bags? I'll send someone to fetch them."

Bei Mingyan said: "No need, we will live in an inn in the city, don't bother."

He deliberately avoided Huo Liancheng's "old friend from Beishan", so naturally he would not agree to live in Liancheng Division, but everyone can understand this matter, but Bei Mingyi doesn't understand, he wants his eldest brother to live, or he will move to his eldest brother residence.

Seeing this, Huo Shenfang said: "Grandpa's old friend lives next to Guining, it's not as good as Big Brother Beiming and Big Brother Xue living farther away, and they won't collide. Don't worry about these, Lian Chengsi is very big."

Either way, Bei Mingyi almost cried, made trouble and hanged himself, and his elder brother agreed.

The next few days were uneventful. Huo Liancheng, Xue Yaoshan, and Beiming Pianyi brothers hadn't seen each other for several years. These few days were a good time to reminisce about the old days. In order to avoid Beiming Pianyi, he didn't visit Huo Liancheng either. Afraid of bumping into him when he went out, he simply didn't even go out, so he nestled in Lianchengsi's other courtyard, although he often looked out the window in a daze, but he just didn't move a step.

At first, Bei Mingyi took the treasure map and tried to persuade his eldest brother to go find it with him, but gradually he stopped pestering him, and even he could see that his eldest brother had something on his mind.

One afternoon, Bei Mingyi stole a few jars of wine from the kitchen, and sneaked into his elder brother's residence.

"Yi'er?" Seeing Bei Mingyi looking at the door, his elder brother was obviously taken aback.

Bei Mingyi nodded: "Is Huo Shenfang there?"

Bei Mingyan shook his head, how could Huo Shenfang be with him every day?

"Where's Brother Xue?"

Bei Mingyan shook his head, this one came every day, they lived across a wall, Xue Meng mainly thought that Qinggong would come here, and they would occasionally have a meal together, but it was past noon today, and he didn't come. Bei Mingyan was still a little unaccustomed to it, and...was slightly disappointed.

Bei Mingyi came in on tiptoe, put the wine on his elder brother's table lightly, exaggerated and whispered: "Drink!"

"You've learned how to drink!"

"Hush! Just a little!" Bei Mingyi looked around nervously: "Brother! Keep your voice down!"

"Who are you hiding from?" Bei Mingyan couldn't help asking in a low voice when he led him around.

"Huo Shenfang!"

"..."

Bei Mingyan looked at him and smiled: "Are you afraid of Shen Fang?"

"Of course I'm not afraid! It's just that Huo Shenfang is good at everything, but he doesn't want me to drink, and he got angry with me several times just because I stole the drink!"

Bei Mingyan didn't believe it: "Shen Fang's temperament will be angry with you?"

"Well! Really! Brother," he opened the wine cork, and a smell of rice wine came out, and both of them's eyes lit up: "I heard that Huo Shenfang's grandmother was broken because of alcoholism. Died young..."

"Then you still drink!" Bei Mingyan took the wine bowl and sniffed it with the tip of his nose.

The last time he drank alcohol was a year ago. In the medicine garden on Asakusa Peak, he held Mu Chenjian and sat among the plants like mud, looking at the plants that were planted by himself and then uprooted by himself. Plants, drinking like a drunkard, feel uncomfortable like fire in their stomachs, and drink vigorously without satisfaction.

At that time, he had buried Bei Mingchen for a long time, but he still couldn't get out of the shadow and gave up on himself.

Now I pick up the bowl of Chengjiu again, and my heart is actually calm and unwavering.

Just like the surface of this bowl of wine.

……

By the way, why take a bowl to drink? ?

Bei Mingyi picked up the bowl and touched his bowl: "Drink first, then talk! Finish drinking before quitting!"

Needless to say, this is not the first time.

The brothers of the Beiming family all drank since they were young. This is called cultivating banquet etiquette. In the end, one must achieve a thousand cups without getting drunk. In ancient Shu, this is something that everyone must master. No problem.

"I still feel like drinking with my brother!"

Bei Mingyan smiled, but did not speak.

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

"What's the plan?"

"I asked you, and you asked me again?"

"Drink."

After drinking for a while, the several jars of wine that Bei Mingyi brought were all gone, he was a little wobbly: "This wine... is worse than ours! I, I will steal a few more jars!"

He drank a little too much, his tongue was full, and Bei Mingyan was a little dizzy, but he didn't stop him, and told him to be careful with Huo Shenfang.

He remembered that Xue Luoqian was not as good as him in drinking, he drank like something, lost his mind, did something that should not be publicized, and was spotted by Xue Luobei and the head of the post station.

Bei Mingyan laughed, turned his head to look over the wall, the breeze was blowing, Xue Luoqian did not go over the wall today.

Maybe it's time to stop, and if this continues, something will happen.

After thinking about it, a person appeared in front of him, and he took a closer look, isn't this Xue Luoqian?

"Luo Qian..."

The man in black stood by the door, folded his arms and looked at him, holding nothing in his hand.

"Hey... who are you?"

The man in black turned around, and Bei Mingyi asked while holding several jars of wine.

"Mu Qing, I was invited to participate in the Pumice Stone Club."

"Where are you calling?"

"Southwest, dark blue."

"Deep Blue... are you a friend of Brother Ayun?"

The man in black had delicate features and looked at Xiuwen gently: "In the next generation of martial arts, the family is not a big family, how can I be the friend of Second Young Master Ye."

The Ye family lives in the Deep Blue Pofeng Valley, and Ye Xiaoyun's reputation is known all over the world, not to mention that this person is also from Deep Blue, so it's not surprising to hear about it.

Bei Mingyi lost interest, hurriedly said: "I went to the wrong place," and stepped into the door.

"Farewell."

"let's go."

The man in black took one last look at Bei Mingyan, turned around and left.

Bei Mingyi put down the wine jar, waking up the person who was napping on the table: "Where's Luo Qian?"

"Brother, don't sleep, come on," Bei Mingyi pulled his sleeves and came to the wall, raised his index finger: "Shhh!"

"What's the matter?" he asked in a daze, drowsy after drinking.

"I saw Huo Shenfang and Brother Luo Qian enter the yard just now," he pointed to the next door: "There is another one behind, guess who it is?"

Bei Mingyan shook his head.

"Yun Chulong!"

Bei Mingyan was still a little confused: "I only know Yun Chuling..."

"They are sisters," Bei Mingyi said, "The twin daughters of the master of Linglong Pavilion."

"Seems to be?"

"What does it look like? It's what it is! Brother, can you be a little more vigilant!"

Bei Mingyan was puzzled: "Alert?"

Beiming Yixi said, "Yeah!"

"Alert what?"

"God! She's robbing brother Luo Qian from you!"

Bei Mingyan really became alert, but not because of this: "Did Xue Luoqian tell you?"

"say what??"

"Hey brother, wait a minute, is there anything I don't know??"

"Stop making trouble, brother is a little sleepy, want to go to sleep, listen to the corner by yourself," he said, ignoring Bei Mingyi's obstruction, and went into the room without looking back.

"Brother!! You really don't care?"

Lie on the bed and turned over repeatedly, but no sleepiness at all.

How could he not care?He was a little tired at first, but now he was very clear. Hearing that Yun Chulong's name was tied to Xue Luoqian, his first thought was to climb over the wall and tell her to stay away from Xue Luoqian.

Ridiculous, what position do you have, just because of that drunken sex?Taking advantage of Xue Luoqian?

In the end they had to part, he couldn't ruin Xue Luoqian's reputation and make him the next Ye Xiaoyun.
