Willing to change Qingfeng to fight the rivers and lakes

fifteen,

The night was filled with stars flickering in the sky. After the hustle and bustle of the day, Yujie Village was already silent in the thick night. Except for a few sporadic lights flickering, the whole village was already sleepy.

Even the chickens and dogs have fallen asleep.

There were only a few faint hootings of owls, which made the night darker and thicker.

Zhan Zhao lay on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy.This is an outhouse of the Zhan family. His aunt lives in a courtyard in a single courtyard. The aunt has been a widow for a long time, and rarely has guests staying overnight. There is a faint damp smell in the guest room in the south wing, although it has been After aromatherapy, the long-unpopular room still has a light musty smell.

But this bland smell is not the reason for Zhan Zhao's insomnia.

Zhan Zhao's mind was in a mess at the moment, thinking of his mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, thinking of his elder brother at home, his thoughts drifted to his aunt who was across the courtyard, and then to Yang Jian, who had no news. , So I don't feel sleepy anymore.

There was a sound of even breathing from the next room, presumably the heartless Bai Yutang had already gone to meet Duke Zhou while drunk.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help smiling wryly.

Turning over, reaching out to pull up the quilt and bury the whole body in the quilt.

Dazed and staring, he finally fell asleep.

His spiritual consciousness was slightly vague, and Zhan Zhao seemed to be sleeping in the mountains and fields again in a daze, surrounded by the freshness of fragrant grass.

Zhan Zhao was awakened by a clear dog bark, and Zhan Zhao slowly opened his sleepy eyes.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao woke up, a black thin-waisted dog raised its head, looked at Zhan Zhao's side and called a few times, Zhan Zhao's mind flashed and immediately remembered the flowery valley of Mount Hua, and turned his head in surprise, Before he could see clearly, he called out, "Second Brother?!"

Under the faint moonlight, there was a person standing quietly beside Zhan Zhao, whose silver clothes were faintly reflected by the moonlight.He just stood there quietly, but he seemed to be completely integrated with this piece of moonlight, the sound of insects, and the breeze. His breathing was soft and his smile was indifferent, invisible to cover up the sharp and flamboyant corners of his eyes and brows.

But it was Yang Jian who hadn't heard from him for many days.

Zhan Zhao's joy spread like a tide, he jumped up happily, grabbed Yang Jian's hand, and asked in a loud voice: "When did the second brother come? How does the second brother know that I am here? The second brother is here this time." Can we play for a while longer? Second brother..."

Yang Jian seemed not used to being so intimate with people, so he pulled his hand out calmly, and said lightly: "You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

Aware of his gaffe, Zhan Zhao smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I was so happy that I lost my head, I should have said hello to my second brother first."

Yang Jian patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've wasted so much time, you're not in a hurry, are you? Coincidentally, today I came and caught up with your mother's happy life. We got acquainted and earned a meal for nothing." Brother's name, I should say it."

Zhan Zhao blushed slightly, and said, "This is my family matter, so how can I use the second brother to express it? The second brother's arrival has already made Zhan Zhao extremely pleasantly surprised, how dare the second brother spend money? I just because... I thought the second brother I have a lot of business, I have already forgotten about the appointment with me..." Maybe he felt that it was rude to think so, Zhan Zhao's voice gradually faded.

Yang Jian didn't mind smiling and said: "I was late, I can't blame you for thinking so, but I have never broken my promise. I will definitely come to congratulate you on your mother's birthday, and I am afraid that I will give you more trouble." Trouble.

Zhan Zhao's expression froze slightly, and he said a little unnaturally, "Why did the second brother say that?"

Yang Jian didn't explain. He stretched out his hand and slowly touched the head of Xiaotiangou lying at his feet, and changed the subject lightly: "You never doubted my identity and background? You never questioned or explored, and you never thought that I am so elusive. Maybe it’s really not a kind person.”

Zhan Zhao shook his head lightly, and said: "I know there are some people in this world who are different from me. I have met a beautiful woman before, and the little maid beside her has a pair of bird wings. But she is a pure, kind and good girl. My second brother gives me the feeling that she is somewhat similar to her, but more...more..." Zhan Zhao couldn't find the right words to describe her, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Yang Jian nodded clearly, and said, "Needless to say, I know."

In a daze, Zhan Zhao felt that Yang Jian's figure seemed a little illusory, so he quickly stretched out his hand to pull it, and grabbed Yang Jian's cuff. The silky and smooth clothes were gently drawn out in Zhan Zhao's hands, and Yang Jian's face was also somewhat illusory, but Smiling and sighing softly: "It's only been two days, I'll come later, and I'll swim with you when the time comes..."

The voice gradually became blurred in Zhan Zhao's ears, and Zhan Zhao wanted to hold on to Yang Jian's sleeves in a hurry, and just as he called out "Second Brother", he felt a sudden light in front of him.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes suddenly, he was still lying on the bed perfectly, the faint morning light had already dyed the windows red.

Zhan Zhao thought about it for a moment, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he sighed secretly: "It turned out to be just a dream, but it was so clear that I couldn't tell it apart. The second brother is also a person with supernatural powers, maybe the dream is also true. ..."

The pale golden morning light evenly shone on Yang Jian's shoulders, and his silver clothes became more and more light, even a little ecstatic.

Yang Jian gently waved the folding fan in his hand, smiling and speechless.

The Xiaotian dog observed the words and expressions for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and couldn't ask questions.

Seeing the embarrassing look of Xiaotian dog scratching his ears and cheeks, Yang Jian couldn't help laughing, closed his fan and patted Xiaotian dog on the head lightly, saying: "Don't spend so much guesswork, go with me tomorrow, just What kind of form do you want to appear this time?"

Xiao Tiangou smiled naively, and said: "The master can do whatever he wants, and I will just follow the master's arrangement."

Yang Jian thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you turn into a prototype, Zhan Zhao is used to your appearance, if you show up in a human form, I will have to spend more time explaining your identity, but I feel a little wronged .”

But Xiao Tiangou didn't mind, saying: "It's fine for the master, I don't have any grievances to say, as long as the master allows me to let go of my stomach to eat and drink."

Yang Jian was slightly moved in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just stroked Xiao Tiangou's disheveled hair lightly, and said in a low voice, "It would be nice if I was surrounded by someone as simple-minded as you..."

Xiaotiangou didn't hear clearly, and asked curiously, "What did the master say?"

Yang Jian shook his head slightly, and said: "It's nothing, I've been in Zhan Zhao's dream for a while, it seems he hasn't forgotten me."

Xiao Tiangou likes Zhan Zhao very much, and hurriedly said: "The master is so different, no one who has been in contact with the master will never forget the master, not to mention that Zhan Zhao is a person who knows how to be grateful. Will he not remember his master? I am with him, but I hear that he misses his master very much every day!"

Yang Jian's heart warmed up, but he teased Xiao Tiangou and said, "I don't know when you learned to read people's hearts. You have only met Zhan Zhao a few times. How do you know that he misses me?"

Xiao Tiangou giggled and said: "As soon as he saw it, he knew that the master called me. There are too many black dogs in the world. If he doesn't have a master in his heart, how can he remember my appearance? Although I haven't made much progress, But I still know the story of Ai Wu and Wu, so don't you understand that when he hugged me, he really just liked me? I haven't heard that Zhan Zhao has any pets, is it because of the owner's face?"

Yang Jian was delighted by his rhetoric, but his face was unhappy, and he just said lightly: "Who said you haven't made progress, I think you have learned a lot about the world over the years." As he spoke, his figure flashed, It disappeared into the light morning mist.

Xiao Tiangou chuckled, and then disappeared invisibly.

The next day, Zhan Zhao had already woken up just after the light of day, put on his clothes and opened the door, and just took a step to see the slender woman standing in the courtyard in full dress.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly took a step forward, bent slightly, and called softly, "Auntie."

The woman looked at Zhan Zhao with a smile on her face, and said softly: "Today is both Chongyang Festival and sister-in-law's birthday. According to the usual practice in previous years, sister-in-law will go to the Zhan family ancestral hall to burn incense and pray for blessings. You can come too."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and replied docilely: "Yes."

Then he went out with the woman.

The huge Zhan family compound in the southwest of Yujie Village has been completely renewed. Several gray cotton soft sedan chairs have been waiting at the door. At this moment, the door opens slowly with a soft sound. The radiant old lady walked out slowly in a dark brown brocade robe embroidered with rich and noble peonies.

The bearer at the door immediately pushed down the pole, and a middle-aged servant hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, saying: "Old lady, be careful where you step, the new threshold this year is half a point higher than the original one. It's still early, don't worry."

The old woman's face was kind but her eyes were somewhat sharp, her cheekbones were slightly high with a hint of tenacity, which gave an invisible majesty to her kindness.

Looking around, the old woman was obviously very satisfied, she nodded slightly and said: "If you don't hurry up, let's go."

The servant woman responded, and carefully helped the old woman walk down the steps. Suddenly there was a slight commotion, and a green cloth soft sedan had stopped in front of the old woman. The old woman smiled and said, "It's his aunt who is here , she is always ahead of the old man every year."

Just as I was talking, the sedan chair was lowered, and the well-dressed woman had already come down, stepped forward and took the old woman's hand, and said with a smile: "I thought I would definitely arrive this year before my sister-in-law left the house, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to leave." Woke up so early."

The old woman held her hand gently, and said: "For such a big Zhanjia, you are ahead of me every year. No one can compare to your attention. If you come, let's go together. Last night I I have already ordered people to light the eternal lamp in the ancestral hall, and today my sister-in-law is going to offer a stick of incense here."

The dressed woman smiled and said: "I am not the only one who catches up early every year." As she spoke, she turned her head and waved: "I still don't come here."

Zhan Zhao walked forward slowly with his head down, lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down to give a big gift, saying respectfully, "Son Zhan Zhao congratulates mother on her birthday."

Mrs. Zhan's smile slowly froze, and her tone turned cold, she said: "The village women in the mountains and fields can't afford such a big gift from Mr. Zhan, please hurry up."

Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed and helpless, looked up at the old lady's face, swallowed secretly and softened his voice: "Does the mother insist on saying these things that make the son uncomfortable? If the son is wrong, the mother just punishes it, doesn't it? Is that why mother can't understand her son?" At the end of speaking, Zhan Zhao felt aggrieved, and his voice became low.

Mrs. Zhan's expression remained unchanged, and she said: "Master Zhan, don't be like this, Laoshen has already spoken to the front, you are the one who refused to accommodate, why did you become Laoshen again?"

Zhan Zhao was speechless, took two steps on his knees and grabbed Mrs. Zhan's hand, saying: "The son has explained to his mother countless times that the son has never done anything harmful to nature, even so, the mother is unwilling to understand."

Mrs. Zhan let Zhan Zhao hold her hand, and could clearly feel the slight tremor of Zhan Zhao's palm, her heart softened a little, but her face remained unchanged. She paused for a moment, slowly withdrew her hand, and said calmly "It's getting late, let's go." With the help of the servant girl, she bent down and sat in the soft sedan chair.

Watching the soft sedan slowly pass by, Zhan Zhao's mouth was slightly bitter, he didn't know what to do, the woman in full dress had already reached out to support his elbow, and said, "Get up, why don't you keep up?"

Zhan Zhao looked at his aunt with grievances in his eyes, couldn't help curling his lips, and said, "Auntie, my mother has been so refusing to understand me every year, it will definitely hurt our mother and son's affection in the long run, but what should I do?"

The dressed-up woman smiled slightly and said, "Why? My sister-in-law didn't kick you out this year. Didn't she say so, let's go."

Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Thank you, Auntie, for your reminder."

The woman in full dress had already leaned over the sedan chair, and said: "Hurry up and follow, I guess your brother has already gone to the ancestral hall to do some packing, and you haven't seen Yun'er for a year, but he misses you so much. "

Thinking of his elder brother's appearance, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly followed him a few steps.

A silver figure flashed faintly in the light morning mist, and disappeared instantly with the breeze.
