Dressed as a white moonlight
Chapter 45: Ruthless and Not Ruthless
The last piece of silver, half of which was spent on renting a house, and the rest to buy some miscellaneous items, where there is still 50 taels.
And why is the food in Zuixianglou so expensive!That old man in the morning did it on purpose, right?
Huai Jingshu looked at Yunyan for help, Yunyan's fingers on the table moved slightly, he had a lot of items worth more than 50 taels, but would this guy take it?
The boy's smile gradually disappeared, and he said cautiously: "If you don't take a boat, you only need 45 taels."
There are no five taels!
Huai Jingshu's face turned red, he hadn't eaten the overlord's meal yet, let alone with the senior brother, he naturally knew that the senior senior brother had no money.I have long regarded it as my responsibility to raise the elder brother, but now...
I don't know if Zuixianglou still accepts servants.
Just when the three of them were in an embarrassing situation.
Hearty laughter came from upstairs, following the sound, there was a handsome young man holding a folding fan standing there with a clear expression on his face.
He said loudly: "I, Zhao Si, will pay for the expenses of these two distinguished guests. Keep it in the account."
As soon as the boy saw him, he responded respectfully and then withdrew.
Zhao Si came down from upstairs, Huai Jingshu stood up and thanked: "Thank you, my lord, can you tell the mansion that we will send the money over someday."
"You're welcome." Zhao Si smiled. He glanced at Yunyan, who was as stable as Mount Tai, and said coolly: "Who in Hualong City doesn't know that Mr. Zhao Si likes to make friends the most? I saw you two upstairs just now, and I suddenly felt that I feel very cordial and have a heart of friendship.”
"It's my honor to be able to pay for the two of you. The moonlight is hazy today, and it's the most suitable for a boat trip. Wouldn't it be great if the two of you are willing to accompany you?"
He puts his posture very low, coupled with his kind appearance, it makes people feel good.
Huai Jingshu looked at Yunyan and asked his opinion with his eyes.
Yunyan said in a deep voice, "Please."
Listening to his words, Zhao Si was very excited in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
He led the way indifferently, but his flustered steps still revealed his nervousness.
Yesterday, Zhao Si met his ancestor Tuo Meng in his sleep, and told him that two distinguished guests in Zuixiang Tower would encounter a little difficulty tomorrow evening. At that time, he only needs to lend a helping hand to obtain a fairy fate.
As for whether he can grasp it, it depends on his personal opportunity.
Zhao Si did not doubt that there was a lie, their ancestor Tuo Meng never said that he missed it, if it wasn't for the blessing of his ancestors, the Zhao family would never have such a status in Hualong City.
But no matter how high the status in the world is, it can't compare to being a fairy.
So Zhao Si had been waiting here since noon, and as soon as Yunyan and Huai Jingshu entered the door, he knew that these two were his destiny.
By the river, there is already a flower boat waiting here. This boat is two or three times larger than ordinary boats. There are singing girls waiting on it holding the piano. There are tables and chairs on the deck, and seasonal melons are placed on the table. fruit.
Yunyan glanced at Zhao Si with a half-smile, this man seemed to be well-prepared.
As soon as this person appeared just now, he felt a trace of cause and effect.It turned into a wisp of white smoke and penetrated into the body.After much deliberation, it could only be the cause formed when the secondary personality entered the city.
Yunyan didn't want to make him wish so easily.
Pointing to the small boat next to the flower boat, he said, "It's better to sit here, it's cleaner."
But the boat, including the singer and the boatman, can only accommodate four people. Where does Zhao Si sit?
Zhao Si's expression froze, and then he thought again, no wonder his ancestor said, whether he can grasp the opportunity depends on him.
If he can't row a boat, or can't play the piano, wouldn't he have missed the opportunity to get along with the immortal?
Fortunately, he will.
Zhao Si gave the boatman ten taels of silver with a smile, and didn't care about his status at all. After inviting Yunyan and Huai Jingshu aboard, he started rowing the boat towards the center of the river.
The singer played the pipa and sang ditties in a low voice.
Walking to the middle of the river, it is quite far away from the lights on the shore.
Only the moon disk hanging in the sky and the hazy forest on the opposite river bank remained.
The boat was too small, Huai Jingshu curled up his legs, nestled next to Yunyan, sniffed deeply like a kitten, and whispered, "It smells so good, and the scenery is beautiful too."
The singer stopped playing at the right time, and the noise in the distance was also covered by the sound of the river, leaving only silence.
Yunyan saw that he was uncomfortable in the sitting position, so he stretched out his arms and pulled him into his arms, stretched his legs, and placed them on his body.He became Huai Jingshu's body cushion.
Huai Jingshu moved his body, and called out with some embarrassment: "Brother..."
"Look at the scenery."
Huai Jingshu really calmed down, leaning against his arms and not daring to move.
Zhao Si saw it, but didn't say much, he said with a smile: "This fragrance is the fragrance of the fruit trees planted on the shore."
"It is rumored that there used to be cultivators fighting here, and one of them failed. After his death, his body and soul turned into the fruit forest here. Every August, it smells strange."
"It will be Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, you two can have a taste."
Yunyan didn't speak, just lowered his head and played with Huai Jingshu's hand.
His hands are thin and fleshy, and feel good to the touch.
Huai Jingshu kept his body stiff, and when he heard about the Mid-Autumn Festival, his curiosity was aroused again: "This place is the same as Jingzhou, do you have the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"It turns out that you are from Jingzhou, of course you have. However, there may be some differences in some small details, but the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hualong City is still worth watching. There will also be dragon dance performances and lantern festivals on that day."
Zhao Si was born and raised in Hualong City, and when he talked about those customs, he was really vivid, and it sounded very interesting.
Huai Jingshu is also a good listener. During the question and answer, he slowly relaxed his body and completely nestled in Yunyan's arms.
Yunyan snickered to himself, and kissed Zhao Si on the side of his ear where he couldn't see it.
He could not lie to himself that he had indeed sunk.
"what--"
The boat shook violently, and the singing girl was sitting in the stern, her figure was unstable, she cried out in alarm, and suddenly fell into the water.
It was as if a huge object had crashed into the bottom of the river.
And the thing didn't stop, it swam to the distance at a very high speed, and then rushed towards the boat with its tail wagging.
Do it again, and the boat is bound to capsize.
Huai Jingshu hurriedly ran to the stern of the boat and pulled up the singing girl who fell into the water. He asked anxiously, "Brother, what should we do?"
Zhao Si lay on the boat, clutching the side of the boat tightly, for fear of accidentally falling into the water, the monster hit the bow of the boat, he could see clearly just now, the monster's bloody mouth was full of fangs.
Yunyan stood up, this kind of ordinary monster could be subdued with a single spell, but before he could use the spell, Huai Jingshu stopped him again.
Using spells in mortal towns will affect future practice.
Yunyan: "..."
For him, cultivation is not as important as protecting Huai Jingshulai.
"This monster may be sure that the senior brother is crossing the heart demon, the senior brother must not be fooled!"
Yunyan snorted coldly. Seeing that the monster was about to charge over again, he drew out his sword and swung it under the water. He split the water flow, and the monster was also cut in two, staining the water red.
After a while, the air separated by the sword energy was slowly surrounded by water again.
The corpse of the monster floated to the surface of the water, Zhao Si finally saw it clearly, it was a big black fish.
He was so frightened that he lost his articulate speech, he stammered: "On weekdays, people say that children often fall into the water and disappear, so it must be this big fish that eats them?"
Zhao Si fell to his knees in front of Yunyan with a plop, and said, "I also ask the immortal to accept me as a disciple. I am willing to learn skills and protect the people!"
Yunyan slowly retracted the sword and put it into the scabbard.He is a sword cultivator, even if he doesn't use spells, this kind of monster can be easily killed.
Seeing Zhao Si's actions, Yunyan said with a half smile but not a smile: "If I didn't know that you are just an ordinary person, I might wonder if you recruited this monster."
There was a lot of water in the boat, and the singing girl hugged her qin and shivered in the cabin.
Zhao Si was frightened into a cold sweat by Yunyan's words, and he quickly explained, "How can I have such abilities, it is really a coincidence to meet an immortal."
"Coincidence?" Yunyan asked Huai Jingshu, "Who is the old man you met this morning?"
"He said he was a human immortal from Hualong City. But...his surname is also Zhao."
Huai Jingshu still doesn't understand, senior brother is being treated as a little fat sheep.
Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?
However, in the final analysis, the elder brother was too good to eat and ate up all the money.
He glanced at Yunyan resentfully, "It can't be all his calculations."
Yunyan let out a "cough", a little embarrassed.
It took the next second to recover, it wasn't what he ate, why was he embarrassed.
But for the time being, he couldn't figure out why this strange fish rushed over suddenly, let's assume it had nothing to do with Zhao Si.
Helping Zhao Si up, Yunyan pinched his bones and asked, "How old is it?"
"The little one is twenty-two." Zhao Si replied respectfully.
"At this age, it's too late to seek immortality." The life expectancy of ordinary people is only six to seventy years old, and there are many people who have not laid the foundation since childhood, and have reached the end of their lifespan and have not yet broken through.
"This..." Zhao Si didn't think about this question.
Since he was a child, he had heard from the elders in the clan that the ancestors of the Zhao family had become immortals and received offerings in temples on the mountains outside the city.
From time to time, people in the family can receive entrusted dreams, sometimes disaster relief, sometimes building roads and bridges, building schools, as long as it is something to accumulate virtue, their Zhao family rushes to do it, and the family rules are very strict.
Bullying men and women, things in Yurou Township, once done, they will be expelled from the family.
But after hundreds of years, the Zhao family has done all the good things, and only a fairy like the ancestor was born.
It was only later that Zhao Si learned that it was too difficult to do good deeds and cultivate immortality through accumulating virtue. The reason why our ancestors became immortals was because there was a plague in Hualong City that year, and it happened that the Zhao family was in the business of medicinal materials.
It just so happened that they found a good way to cure the plague, and it happened that they did not hide anything, scattered all the medicinal materials to save the residents in the city, and spread the way to cure the plague to other places.
No one knows how many people they saved that time, so the ancestors who made these decisions became immortals after death.
This method is difficult because such a coincidence is rare in a hundred years, and it is better to embrace the thigh of a cultivator.
Zhao Si thought clearly, since he can't do it, then give this fairy fate to his son.Anyway, their Zhao family has accumulated good deeds for generations, all in order to produce another immortal in the family.
If they thrive in this way, one day their family will ascend to heaven.
Yunyan was dumbfounded by his firmness, so he had no choice but to touch it from the storage bag.
He took out a jade tube and told him: "In the future, when you give birth to a child, squeeze a drop of blood and put it on the jade tube. If there is light, the brighter the light, the better the spiritual root. Then you can hold the child and go to your ancestors. He After reading the jade tube, you will naturally know where the child should be sent."
"In 300 years, the descendants of the Zhao family can use this jade tube to exchange for opportunities."
And why is the food in Zuixianglou so expensive!That old man in the morning did it on purpose, right?
Huai Jingshu looked at Yunyan for help, Yunyan's fingers on the table moved slightly, he had a lot of items worth more than 50 taels, but would this guy take it?
The boy's smile gradually disappeared, and he said cautiously: "If you don't take a boat, you only need 45 taels."
There are no five taels!
Huai Jingshu's face turned red, he hadn't eaten the overlord's meal yet, let alone with the senior brother, he naturally knew that the senior senior brother had no money.I have long regarded it as my responsibility to raise the elder brother, but now...
