Dichlorvos Chronicle

Although Shenxue Peak has the word "snow", there is actually no snow on it.

It's just that due to the slightly higher terrain, the temperature here is lower than that in Wanxing City. Now that summer has just entered, the mountain is neither cold nor hot, but it is comfortable.

The location of the blessing is a mountain villa located halfway up the mountain.

The villa is not big, but it is exquisitely built, and there is a hot spring in the back, which makes Xie Liang very satisfied. It feels like a vacation, and there is still money to take after the vacation, so it is a steady profit.

Oh, the premise is that this half month can be safe and sound.

He couldn't help but glance at Qiao Jiu.

A few days ago, Qiao Jiu was not idle when he stayed in Wanxing City. He took the time to meet a few of his subordinates. Now there are people from Tianhe Pavilion in Wanxing City, maybe there are also people near the villa.

He paid special attention to the information of Sky Crane Pavilion along the way, and heard that they were very reliable in their work. Presumably, with Qiao Jiu watching in person, his safety should be guaranteed.

Qiao Jiu is lazily leaning on the soft bed at the moment.

With one foot bent, he slapped the other casually, nonchalantly looking at the small note passed down from under his hand, saying that he can be as grand as he wants.Sensing the gaze from the side, he raised his head.

Before Xie Liang had time to speak, he felt blurred in front of his eyes, and when he looked closely, he moved to his side.

Qiao Jiu received the note and got up, picked up the teacup in hand and flew to the round table to sit down. The whole movement was done in one go without even making a sound.The arrogance on his body was completely contained, his head was slightly lowered, he held the teacup and drank water in small sips, as obedient as a sheep.

Two seconds later, Shi Bairong walked in from the outside.

Xie Liang: "..."

Shi Bairong didn't feel anything wrong at all, told him that the ancestral hall was opened, and asked him if he wanted to go and have a look.

Xie Liang couldn't hold back, and reached out to touch the boy's head.

Master Jiu, this world really owes you a golden man.

Qiao Jiu looked at Xie Liang with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Xie Liang didn't look at him anymore, got up and followed Shi Bairong out, ready to see what the knight who was kind to Si Zhuang looked like.Qiao Jiu pondered for a while but didn't understand what Xie Liang meant, so he could only follow him step by step.

The ancestral halls of ordinary people are usually at the back, but this villa is built for blessing, so the ancestral hall is located in the very center, there is no memorial tablet inside, only a statue.

When Xie Liang arrived, the door of the ancestral hall had just opened.

Today is his second day in the villa.

They arrived at noon yesterday, and Shi Bairong first took him to meet the owner of Qin's villa in Qiuren Villa, and took out the letter from the young master of the Shi family to testify. , and Xie Liang successfully passed the review and moved in smoothly.

In the afternoon, he got an overview of the situation here.

First of all, within half a month of praying, Qiu Ren will be responsible for the safety and daily life of the villa, and each person who prays will bring at most two servants, so as not to annoy Mr. Benedict with too many people; , Two young masters and a young lady also came to Xiahou Villa. That day Miss Ye and the eldest son of Xia Hou were playing flute and practicing swords on the roof, because a group of people were eating in a restaurant, and Miss Ye and the eldest son lost when they were playing. , that's how it went up.

Third, every blessing session, the ancestral hall has to wait for people to gather before opening.

The people from Dongshen Villa hadn't arrived when they came yesterday, but now that it can open, it is obvious that the people from Dongshen Villa have arrived.

Xie Liang took a secret look.

Dongshen came this time as the second young master. He was very handsome, with a smile on his face, quite likable.At the moment he is holding a cloth and wiping the face of the statue.

According to the rules, after the ancestral hall is opened, the first thing to do is to wipe the statue.

Outsiders cannot participate in this matter, only the four villages can do it. If the other three villages are looking for someone to pray instead, then only the people who lead the villa can do it.

People are kept here all year round, and they are cleaned every day. The statues are actually not dirty, but the owner of the Qin village and the younger generations of several villages clean them very carefully, even Miss Ye of the Baihong Divine Mansion.

Xie Liang stood outside the door and watched, feeling a little puzzled.

He paid attention to the gossip yesterday. It is said that Baihong Shenfu and Qiuren Villa have not discussed marriage yet, but there is only a little meaning in this regard. Is it suitable for Miss Ye to be in it?

He looked at Qiao Jiu inquiringly, and saw that Qiao Jiu was looking at the statue with rare concentration in his eyes.

But this lasted for a short time, it dissipated in just a few seconds, and then the people inside stopped their hands—the statue was only the size of an adult, so many people wiped it off in the blink of an eye.

With no obstacles, Xie Liang finally saw the full-length portrait of that benefactor clearly.

Different from the bearded statues in the school, the statues here are of people when they were young, and the workmanship is good, they look handsome at first glance, but the real ones would be even better.

The owner of Qin Zhuang carefully tidied up the ancestral hall, walked out with wooden barrels, and then set off a string of firecrackers in the courtyard, which was considered as the completion of the whole process of "opening the ancestral hall".

The blessing is scheduled for three days later, and these three days are free for activities.

After watching the excitement, Xie Liang met Dongshen's second son and exchanged some pleasantries, then took Qiao Jiu back and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything that the whole world knows, but I don't?"

Qiao Jiu said with a smile: "Master, this is too much."

"You know what I mean," Xie Liang said bluntly, "Is there any relationship between Baihong Divine Mansion and Sizhuang's benefactor?"

Qiao Jiu said: "Well, he was the one who founded the Baihong Divine Mansion back then. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, deep benevolence, and the name of the four villages were also taken by him."

Sure enough, Xie Liang thought to himself.

He guessed that Miss Ye must have something to do with it, otherwise it would be impossible to follow the statue.

He asked, "Will your sister stay this time?"

Qiao Jiu gave him a friendly smile: "Please replace the words 'your sister' with 'Miss Ye'."

Xie Liang: "..."

Changing his name and surname and denying his father, even his younger sister, is thorough enough, how much hatred is this?

His question swirled around in his mouth and he swallowed it back.

Even though he and Qiao Jiu basically slept in the same room along the way, they were not familiar with each other. Now it can be regarded as a cooperative relationship at most. He can ask some irrelevant things, but he can't ask freely about matters related to Qiao Jiu himself.

It was Qiao Jiu who took a look at him and said first, "Aren't you curious about the matter between me and Baihong Shenfu?"

Xie Liang asked back: "I'm curious, what would you say?"

Qiao Jiu said: "Yes."

Xie Liang regained his spirit: "Okay, let's talk."

Qiao Jiu said, "Wait until I'm in a good mood."

Painting cakes?To put it bluntly, I still don't want to say it.

Xie Liang ignored him and continued walking.

Qiao Jiu said: "Can you feel better if you don't ask me?"

Xie Liang said: "Master, I seem to be so mentally handicapped?"

Qiao Jiu laughed, and finally stopped teasing him, let alone bringing up this topic again.

Xie Liang thought secretly that he really didn't want to say it, and after sitting in his room for a while, he felt a little bored, so he simply took Qiao Jiu to the back mountain, intending to see where the hot spring was and familiarize himself with the route.

As soon as he stepped into the back mountain, Qiao Jiu grabbed his wrist suddenly, and then he was led to move him behind a big rock, and then his acupuncture points were tapped.

"..." Xie Liang couldn't move, and stared at him out of the corner of his eye.

"Prevent you from moving around and making noise," Qiao Jiu's voice was extremely low, "Take a breath, someone is coming over there, and their steps are still very fast, maybe there is something good to watch."

Xie Liang had an epiphany, adjusted his breathing according to the words, waited for a few seconds, and only heard a voice from far to near.

"Wait, wait, don't go!"

It was the voice of the second young master of Dongshen Villa, "You said just now that this hot spring is good, how about staying here for half a month?"

"Get out!" Another voice was very angry, "I said why you are so kind and suddenly invited me to the mountain to soak in the hot spring, so you want to trick me into praying for you!"

Dongshen's second young master said: "I really have something to do, you help brother this time."

"Don't do it, it's not a serious matter when you have something to do!" Another person said, "I don't like any of you people from Sizhuang. Let me stay with them for half a month, is it possible!"

Er Shao hurriedly said: "It's not Chunze's, he found someone else, maybe you know him."

The man said: "Go away, I heard that Chunze is looking for a friend from Flying Star Island. Is it possible that I know him?"

Er Shao said: "What if?"

The man said: "Go ahead, if you are an acquaintance, I'll piss and drink immediately!"

Qiao Jiu: "..."

Xie Liang: "..."

Qiao Jiu chuckled suddenly.

The two talking over there stopped in unison.

Er Shao said: "Who is it?"

Qiao Jiu unlocked Xie Liang's acupuncture points while laughing out loud, Xie Liang could only take the blame for him and walked out from behind the boulder.

He looked at a certain strong man who was about to drink urine with a stiff expression, and said hello to the second young master apologetically, saying that he would go to the hot spring to have a look, and then took the bookboy away.

He was a little embarrassed.

The strong man probably had a fight with him, and it was only a month, so he already owed him two bowls of urine.
