Liaozhai Liaozhai Ningguan

"Brother Zishe is indeed well-informed! I admire you!"

"Wherever it is, it's just wandering around all day long."

"Hey, I want to live the life of brother Zishe, and I can't ask for it. I can make friends all over the world."

"With the ability of a virtuous brother, you can find many confidantes even in a small place, why bother with this uncertain life."

Zi She's praise is not exaggerated, he just sat in the teahouse for a while, Ning Guan came up to chat with him, before the person he was waiting for arrived, the two had already become acquainted to the point of calling them brothers.Ning Guan is a very talkative and outgoing person, such a person will have many friends, Zishe thought.

"Ah, he's here." Zi She said suddenly.

"Who?"

"The person I'm waiting for. Since he has arrived, brother Yu will take his leave first, sorry."

"Look, I was so engrossed in chatting that I almost delayed Brother Zishe's business. Please treat me to these two cups of tea. When Brother Zishe is done with work, why don't you go to the humble house to talk about it? If it's convenient, you can introduce Zishe Brother's friend."

"Yes, I will trouble you, brother." Zi She got up and bid farewell to Ning Guan.

There was already a curl of cooking smoke from the houses, and the mouth-watering smell of food made the stomachs of pedestrians hungry before returning home. Ning Guan, who was walking on the street, couldn't help but look up at the sun, and murmured: "So it's already here." Meal time..." As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked towards the "Siyou Hall" on the side of the road.

Siyoutang is a pharmacy, and it is a pharmacy with a doctor in charge, and the doctor in charge is Ning Guan. Although Ning Guan is a little young as a doctor, the neighbors in all directions agree with his medical skills, so he won this job. An easy family breadwinner and a relatively respectable job.

But Ning Guan is not here to work, in fact he has not sat in Siyoutang for some time, because his physical condition is not very good recently, he often feels dizzy and weak but cannot find the cause, only I can think about buying medicine for conditioning by myself.

This is the time when there are the least number of guests, Ning Guan chose to come now to save time.The pharmacy is decorated with the heritage and flavor of an old store, and the store is filled with a refreshing, sweet and astringent medicinal fragrance as always.There were five people in a somewhat empty outer hall, a young apprentice grabbing medicine was standing by the counter, the shopkeeper was standing respectfully at the other side of the table talking to a young man in white standing in front of him, and two people were sitting behind the table watching A conversation between the shopkeeper and the man.

"Brother Zishe?" Ning Wang saw a familiar figure among the people sitting there. That person lowered his head slightly. He was quiet and peaceful, and he had an inexplicable aura with the other person beside him. It was Zishe whom Ning Guan had just met not long ago.

"Oh, so it's Brother Ning Guanxian, are you safe?" Zi She raised his head and responded.

Ning Guan was looking at Zishe's raised head, only to find that Zishe's eyes were pitch black without any focus, Zishe had a pair of very beautiful eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

"If Brother Yu does not give up, why don't you wait for Brother Yu, and we will go to Brother Brother's house to talk about it later." When Zi She was speaking, his eyes were still blinking, making it hard to believe that he was blind.

"No problem..." Ning Guan replied in a daze, "I don't know why Brother Zishe came here..."

"This pharmacy is mine, and I'm here to inspect the property." The person next to Zishe said, he has a pair of twinkling fox eyes, giving people a dangerous feeling of calculation, and he seems to be extremely displeased at this moment. Conversation with Zi She.

Ning Guan chatted a few words, then left.

"Chao Xi, what's wrong?" After Ning Guan left, Zi She asked the people around him.

The other party sat on the chair lazily: "Tsk, when I see him, it's like seeing a big man. Trouble is moving."

Zi She smiled gently and remained silent.

At that time, the lights were already dimmed, and faint voices came from this warm little house.

"Brother, I'm sorry for Chaoxi's rudeness in the drugstore just now and for the disturbance now."

"I regard you as friends in my heart, so I don't mind, not to mention there is something wrong with me."

"Having said that... as an apology, I will give you a painting."

"Brother Zishe? Painting?"

Ning Guan didn't wait for an answer, Zhao Xi helped Zi She clean up the table, took out the painting utensils from the box on his back and laid them out.

Zi She rolled up his sleeves and picked up the pen, and a person appeared vividly on the paper.

After the painting was completed, it was carefully handed over to Ning Guan.

There is an old man in the painting, the gray-haired old man, who is almost like Ning Guan, but the figure in the painting is crooked and haggard, and the real Ning Guan is when he is young and handsome.

Ning Guan's complexion changed suddenly, and he said in a panic: "Brother Zishe, what do you mean?!"

Zi She evoked a sly smile: "This is true."

"Master, two young masters." A gentle female voice sounded, it was Ning Guan's wife, Yan Huai.

Ning Guan's family is not considered wealthy, there are only him and his wife in the family, but Yan Huai is quite a family, it seems that she should be from a good background.

"This is warm wine. I made it myself. It tastes pretty good." She poured wine for the three of them as she spoke.

"It's really good." Zhao Xi held the lamp in praise, and the brilliance flowed in a pair of twinkling fox eyes.

Yan Huai smiled and walked out of the room.

The sly smile on Zi She's face was long gone, and he still had that quiet and peaceful appearance, changing the subject calmly.

In the pitch-dark room, Zi She was sitting silently on the edge of the bed, and Zhao Xi was also silently sitting beside him.

"Zhao Xi, what have you discovered now?" Zi She suddenly broke the silence.

"Yan Huai has a problem, and Ning Guan has a problem too." Zhao Xi said while taking Zi She into her arms.

"Well, Ning Guan seems to be entangled in something, and the energy flow has been lost."

"Unfortunately, it seems that he is still obsessed with it?"

"Well, what's wrong with Yan Huai?"

"They're not like husband and wife, they're like enemies, oh, to be precise, they're like rivals in love."

"...Then..." Before Zi She could speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Xi, who forcefully brought him down on the bed, and said lightly, "Go to sleep." He breathed lightly.

Zi She had no choice but to close his eyes and fell asleep.

"What's the matter?" Ning Guan knocked on the backyard door of Siyou Hall early in the morning, and the man in white who opened the door was the man in white who had reconciled with the shopkeeper that day.

"Uh, I'm here to discuss something with Brother Zishe."

"Just call me Yibai." The man in white frowned slightly, then turned his head and shouted into the yard, "Old fox! That kid is here to find your painter!"

"Come in first and sit down for a while." After shouting, Yi Bai led him into a small living room.

The living room is decorated in a simple atmosphere, and there are a few refreshing potted plants, which are very pleasing to the eye.

"My virtuous brother, what's the matter?" Zi She asked before he was seated in the hall.

"Today, I have an old friend visiting. It is inconvenient to stay at the inn, and since we don't have any spare room at home, I want to borrow a place from you. Don't worry, Brother Zishe! It will only take two or three days!"

Zi She chuckled, and pulled Zhao Xi who was entangled beside him: "You shouldn't talk to me about this matter, you should talk to him, he is the owner of the shop."

Chao Xi's lazy aura suddenly turned around, and a flash of light flashed across those twinkling fox eyes, she took an ebony abacus from somewhere and shook it neatly, and rested her white and slender fingers on it, which was very attractive.

"It's no problem to borrow land. According to the price of the inn outside, a room is 45 yuan a day, and the price of an acquaintance will be [-]% off for you. It is [-] yuan, minus the change, it is [-] yuan, and [-] yuan for two days..." The slender knuckles The fingers skillfully fiddled with the beads, making a crackling sound with a unique rhythm.

"Of course, you don't need to give it, as long as you satisfy Zishe and I's curiosity." Before Ning Guan changed his face, Zhao Xi quickly added.

"Here, should I give it or...don't give it?" Ning Guan asked tentatively.

Zishe chuckled again: "How could we let A Duwu interfere with our friendship, I just hope you can tolerate us satisfying our curiosity."

Ning Guan sighed: "I see, I know you are not ordinary people... What do you want to ask?"

Zi She didn't answer his question directly: "I don't know what you want to say, brother?"

"I..." Ning Guan finished speaking in dismay, and left in a hurry after explaining about his old friend.

To be precise, Ning Guan's strange old friend is a fox from Qingqiu, and Zhao Xi knew it when he saw this exquisite young man.

It was a young man who was exquisite both inside and outside, so exquisite that people couldn't help but want to approach him, with the unique momentum and charm of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

"I think you must be very curious about Ning Guan." The young man sat down on the stone bench naturally, with the elegance and nobility that penetrated into his bones.

The reason for the stone bench is that the three of them are staying in the backyard of Siyou Hall at the moment. There is a very luxuriant old tree here. A stone table and several stone benches are placed under the shade of the tree. It is a good place to take a break.

The boy continued to smile, without saying a word, he took out a piece of yellowed paper from somewhere, and put it on the table carefully, his gesture was very cherished.

A poem was very neatly written on the paper, and because Zishe couldn't see it, Zhao Xi simply read it out: "In the past, Fanhuazi, Anling and Longyang, peach and plum blossoms, burning with brilliance. Joy is like nine springs , Pan analysis is like autumn frost, longing for beauty, words and smiles are fragrant; hand in hand and waiting for love, staying in the clothes of the past moon, wishing to be a bird, soaring together; Danqing vows, never forget each other. What does this mean? Love poetry ? This paper is old, and the handwriting is not Ning Guan's." He took the paper and began to study it.

"It's the third of Ruan Ji's Huaiyong poems," said Zishe.

Zhao Xi asked curiously, "What is that?"

Zishe smiled slightly: "It is said that Ruan Ji and Ji Kang are Longyang's companions, this poem describes their cohabitation life."

There was interest in the boy's eyes: "I found this piece of paper in Yanhuai's room."

"Yo, you broke into the girl's boudoir." Yi Bai's voice suddenly came out from behind the young man, and he stood there, bending slightly to get close to the young man's ear, "You have the same scar on your body as that boy's." Shame."

"I'm sorry, we just thought, you know it's far more than that, we prefer to be more straightforward than to accompany you in detours." Zishe smiled warmly.

He is from the Qingqiu royal family, and he still had three years before he could transform into an adult.

One day in his favorite flower forest, he saw a young man in clean and low-key brocade clothes, sitting quietly cross-legged under a tree, with a slightly angular face and slender eyes.

The fox group couldn't help but pounced on it, to demonstrate to the intruders who occupied its territory, and then it rushed to nothing, its claws pierced through the young man's body, the young man's quiet eyes looked at the little fox, He hugged it very gently.The little fox can't touch the young man when he is not active, because the young man has long since lost his life, and he is just a lonely soul floating in the world, a soul full of pain and sorrow.

Since the first meeting that day, the little fox and the young man have gradually become acquainted. The little fox likes the young man very much. After finding out that the young man has been staying under this tree, he has come to pester the young man every day.

"Aran, what does it feel like to be pierced?"

"Aran, why didn't you go to reincarnate?"

"Aran, tell me something about the outside world."

"Aran, do you remember?"

Yes, at the beginning, the young man's memory was vague, but gradually, his soul solidified, and he remembered his past bit by bit.He sat under the tree for three years, three years, which happened to be the time when the little fox was about to transform.

Little fox, no, now he is a young man with exquisite eyebrows and elegant temperament.

Full of expectation, he rushed to the young man under the tree to share the joy of adulthood, but saw the elegant young man looking at him with a shallow smile, which the little fox couldn't understand.

Obviously laughing is more bitter and sad than crying.

He said, "I've already remembered, little fox, my name is Tao Ran."

He said, "Let me tell you a story."
