In the clear and crisp autumn, the lotus pond in the backyard was gradually withering and yellowing. Liu Songzi and the little girl Dongyue took care of the pond early in the morning. While they were doing their work, they turned their heads and quietly looked at the Zongzhang’s house from time to time. One glance, but he was so blessed that he didn't open his mouth to speak.

There was no movement in the house after Choushi last night. Liu Songzi kept watch all night and returned to the house to rest before dawn.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, thinking of the back of the Zongzhang carrying Xiaosha back to the room in the middle of the night yesterday, he felt a bit indescribable.

Dongyue gave him an elbow; "Where did you lose your soul?"

Liu Songzi shook his head: "You don't understand."

He put down the work in his hand: "I'll bring water to serve the Zongzhang first, you can take care of this pool slowly, but..." Liu Songzi paused, and Dongyue glared at him.

"But what, just say something."

Liu Songzi said: "I think that Xiaosha will not sleep in the lotus pond in the future, and we won't have to clean it so hard every day."

Dongyue: "Where does the little shark sleep?"

Liu Songzi walked back and said, "Naturally it's the head's pillow."

The loyal servant was waiting outside the door with water, and when he heard the Zong Zhang speak, he gently sent the water basin in.

Pu Yuan sat quietly in front of the table, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, his hair was not yet tied up, his long black hair was hanging behind him, the autumn morning light fell outside the window, a few strands slipped in quietly, and poured out quietly to the patriarch. on the hair.

At this moment, the head of the sect was concentrating on writing on the bamboo slips, and there was a rare sense of laziness between his brows.

The servant caught a glimpse accidentally, and his mind was about to be stunned.

He has been by the Zongzhang's side for several years, even when the Zongzhang is sick, he still looks majestic and solemn. When has he ever been so... so...

In an instant, the servant couldn't express it in words. He put the water basin away, and the washing utensils were for two people.

Liu Songzi said in a low voice, "President Zong, there are still orders."

Pu Yuan raised his eyes from the bamboo slips, his deep black pupils first glanced at the direction of the bed behind the screen, and then he gave the order to ask the servant to call Li Guanshi to wait in the book pavilion in a quarter of an hour.

He said again: "You are outside the door, Ruo Xiao..." Wei paused, "Xiao Shark wakes up, you will take good care of him."

The servant's pupils flickered, and he quickly took the word and went outside.

The servant, who hadn't slept all night, was already in low spirits, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the forest in the backyard exuded bursts of flowers, which made his eyes dull.A few days ago, the strange old man in the fire room asked him to pick two full baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus, and said that he would make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Xiaoxie to try.

I don't know if I did it today.

When I was in a trance, the closed door opened.

Xiao Shar stood behind the door with a pair of bare white feet, his silky hair hanging down to his ankles, when he walked a little, the ends of his hair shook slightly, and the arc of each strand of hair seemed to be different from theirs.

The servant looked down at the round and lovely toes, then looked up again.

Xiaosha turned her blue eyes sideways: "A Yuan?"

Liu Songzi said: "Zong Zhang has gone to Shuge to discuss something with Guanshi Li."

Shark's clothes are disheveled, hanging thinly on his shoulders, unable to cover any flesh, and there are still marks on the exposed thin white wrists, one by one, like finger marks.

The servant said: "It's strange that the old man is going to make osmanthus cake today, do you want to try it?"

Xiaosha pursed her lips, her eyes smiled like two crescent moons.

"eat."

Liu Songzi led him: "Put on your shoes and socks first, and then go there."

He was about to look for shoes and socks when a figure suddenly stood outside the door.Liu Songzi choked his voice: "Zong Zhang."

The young patriarch went back and forth, walking directly towards the little shark.

Pu Yuan: "Where are the shoes?"

Liu Songzi: "In, in..."

Before he could speak clearly, he saw Zong Zhang picking up a pair of new shoes at the end of the bed.

Liu Songzi ran to the door and peeked in quietly, only to see their patriarch pick up the shoes and let Xiaosha put them on obediently.

"A Yuan?" Xiao Yu looked at the Zong Zhang in front of him, as if something was different.

Pu Yuan said: "It's not very quiet recently, if you are bored wandering around in the yard."

Although Zongyuan is not small, to a shark from the sea, it is only a very small place.

Zong Zhang didn't say too much, it seemed that he just watched Xiao Shar change his shoes when he came back, and then said that sentence again.

After the Zongzhang left, there was a gust of autumn wind, bringing in the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floating in the courtyard.Xiaoying remembered the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that the servant had said, and briskly walked towards the firehouse.

Seeing the people outside the door, the strange old man beckoned, and Xiaoxie followed him in.

He sniffed the smell coming out of the steamer, blamed the old man for grinning from ear to ear and said: "This year's day is full, the sweet-scented osmanthus peanuts are very beautiful, the fragrance is so strong, you little doll will definitely like this."

Xiaoying's eyes were glued to the steamer, and he blamed the old man, saying: "Zong Zhang also liked to eat it when he was young, but he doesn't like it when he grows up. Alas, the old man's work is wasted making so many flower cakes."

Xiaoyu wondered: "You don't like to eat when you grow up?"

The strange old man shook his head: "How do I know what the Zong Zhang thinks in his heart?"

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake just out of the cage was full of fragrance, and Xiao Jiao wanted to bite it anxiously, but his tongue was burned.

He hissed and exhaled, blamed the old man for serving him a bowl of herbal tea, and chuckled: "Don't be in a hurry, no one will rob you, these sweet cakes, except for the little maid in the yard, no one will rob you, eat slowly .”

There are few people in the Zongyuan, there are only two or three young people, Li Guanshi is not good at these snacks, the maid Dongyue said that eating too much sweets is not good for the skin, it is strange that the old man can only grab the servant who serves the Zongzhang to eat a few One year or two, you can still eat it, but in three or four years, you will get tired of it. After a long time, there are always fewer people who set foot in the firehouse.

It was supposed to be the place with the most fireworks in the world, but it turned into the coldest corner of Zongyuan.

The strange old man looked at the little baby happily eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he made with his own hands. After eating two full plates, the strange old man said: "Enough is enough, you are greedy, eat more!" Difficult to digest."

Xiaosha patted her stomach: "Can I take a plate away?"

The strange old man picked out a few cold ones for him to take out, Xiao Jiao walked a few steps and turned around, the strange old man was still looking at him.

The fragrance filled the courtyard, and Li Guanshi covered his mouth and nose and almost sneezed impolitely.

Pu Yuan handed him the list written down on the paper, and some elders in the clan could no longer believe it.

After reading it, Li Guanshi said: "The people sent to Zuixiang Pavilion found that every caravan entering Anli City will stay there for several days. These foreigners are familiar with many girls, and they have inquired and said they are regular customers."

Pu Yuan: "The fragrance of the medicine."

Li Guanshi continued: "The incense will be lit every three days in the hanging stoves on each floor after nightfall. I ordered people to take the ashes of the incense and send them to the mausoleum for the high priest to check. The priest said that these spices have the medicinal effect of confusing the mind. After inhaling them for a short period of time, they can make people fall into a state of hyperactivity and mania, but if they take a long time, they are enough to breed drug addiction. , or loss of life.”

Li Guanshi said slowly: "It is more like poison than to say it is a herb."

Pu Yuan put the bamboo slips together: "Where do the herbs come from?"

Li Guanshi shook his head slightly: "I haven't found out yet, Drunk Country Pavilion is very strict with these kinds of spices, and they almost noticed when they took away the incense ash. But what can be concluded is that Drunken Country Pavilion used this kind of Gu incense to win over people passing through Anli City. Most of the caravans, they have close contacts with the caravans in private, and it has not been found out whether there is any kind of transaction hidden in the dark."

Pu Yuan: "Check again."

He glanced away from the corner of his eye, and said again: "You go out first."

Manager Li took the note and left, while Xiao Jiao smiled at him holding a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and handed it to him.

Li Guanshi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not used to sweet taste."

The head of the house called out: "Xiaosha."

Li Guanshi looked back at the two of them, his eyes seemed to be relieved, but also somewhat regretful.

Seeing this beautiful shark presenting treasures, the young Zongchang put the whole dish of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of him. The cake had a faint fragrance and looked waxy and soft.

Pu Yuan first looked at Shark's belly: "How much did you eat?"

Xiao Shar stretched out an index finger, saw Zong Zhang's long eyebrows slightly drawn together, and then hesitantly stretched out another finger.

"Two dishes, the old man didn't let the shark eat more."

Pu Yuan told him to sit still, Xiaoxie was very active, and would touch things in the book pavilion within half an hour of sitting.

He lay on the desk and stared at the Zongzhang writing, his eyes followed the nib of the Langhao pen, and slowly typed.

Pu Yuan stopped writing, Shark had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.He watched quietly, the autumn wind outside the window made the treetops rustle, and the luxuriant sweet-scented osmanthus floated into the window, trembling on the hair tip in front of Shark's forehead.

Zong Zhang was a little lost in thought, his eyes couldn't help but look at the osmanthus flower first, and then moved to the smooth and smooth forehead of the shark, the nose was small and firm, and the lips...

It was as soft as a stamen, he seemed to have tasted it last night.

Again it seems not.

What he tasted might be the lips, or the tongue, or the flesh on the face. At that time, the shark was as soft as water in his arms, and the Zong Zhang couldn't tell what was so soft around his lips.

Holding the pen, Pu Yuan gradually lost his mind, the warm autumn sun made him sweat all over his body and his mouth was dry.

This restlessness may be disturbing the merman who closed his eyes and was feigning sleep.

Pu Yuan looked at Shark who opened his blue eyes.

Speechless for a while.

Xiaoxiao raised her crooked and flying eyebrows, and revealed a secret just now: "A Yuan, you peek at Shark."

Xiaosha picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus flower on the tip of her hair, and her two legs were as soft as a shark's tail, bending softly, along the bottom of the desk, climbing up Zongzhang's legs inch by inch.

A small piece of tail tip popped up on the table and softly shook off the thin scales. The tip of the tail put a small golden osmanthus into the palm of the Zongzhang, and then stepped back, resting on the only place where people can connect.

The tip of the shark's tail poked through the clothes on the luxuriant lotus root that had been stretched out by the Zongzhang's palm in the blue illusion that day.

Pu Yuan clenched his palm tightly, and the petite Jingui was deformed by him.

The branches and leaves of the treetops trembled more and more violently. In the past, the Zong Zhang would have coldly reprimanded this stubborn and shameless shark demon.

But at this moment, Pu Yuan didn't say anything.He crushed the sweet-scented osmanthus, his heart was beating, and every muscle in his body was also beating.

The autumn light falling into the window illuminates the sweat on his forehead, which is very hot.

After a long time, the smell of sweat brought by the wind was slightly salty, the tip of the blue tail trembled, Xiaosha picked up his withdrawn tail and sniffed lightly, his blue eyes were astonishingly bright.

"Ah Yuan's smell is different from the smell of sea water."
