Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 88
Chen Yuan opened the window to let the sunlight drive away the coldness in the room, and looked at the table over there, San'er was sitting on the stool, staring blankly at the table, still shivering all over.

On the opposite side, Qiaoer and the crazy old man, the old and the young, looked at him curiously with their hands in lotus shape and their chins propped up.

"What happened to the troupe? What about the others?"

Over there, Chen Yuan took half of the unfinished pancake from his sleeve and gave it to him. San'er turned his eyes away, grabbed the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously.

These days, I hide in the cabinet and dare not go out, which shows how hungry I am.

"Don't choke, drink some water."

San'er took the pottery bowl handed over, gulped down cold water into his stomach, and then he regained his breath. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth.

"...all gone."

After his murmured words, he suddenly became agitated and grabbed Chen Yuan's arms: "It's all gone, it's all eaten by that woman!"

"What woman?"

"...a very beautiful woman." After getting excited, San'er followed the words Chen Yuan asked, and gradually told the whole story, "... I got my master's skills, and opened another theater troupe, hired four As a helper, I came all the way here, Luo is the capital city, and there are many people, so I thought that I could earn more money by relying on woodcarving..."

……

Ever since the elder brother evaded gambling debts and abandoned his wife and son, San'er has been able to stand alone. After marrying the elder brother's wife and having a family, he no longer spends his days in the past.

The old man Zhao also saw it, and asked him to set up a troupe with his second apprentice, and travel far and wide.

The wind blowing on the body with warmth is a hot feeling. The five people driving the two donkey carts looked at the majestic city wall, with infinite longing in their hearts, and excitedly stepped into the city in the center of the world.

It's impossible to make a name for yourself here. Buying a small courtyard can be regarded as establishing a foundation, and then taking the mother-in-law and children over, you can wake up laughing when you really sleep.

The few people hired were also hard-working people. After entering the city, they inquired about where to set up stalls. Made a lot of money.

After one day's performance, four people were invited to have a happy meal in the gathering outside the city, to celebrate their coming to Luodu.

Soon, after the banquet, San'er went back with the others, and when they arrived at Peach Willow Forest, there was a sobbing woman on the side of the road. After asking, it turned out that the woman's husband's family died of illness, and she was kicked out by her mother's family again. I went to seek refuge with my relatives in neighboring counties, but only when I thought of my husband halfway, did I feel sad on the way.

The woman was wearing a green biru skirt, a white scarf wrapped around her head, a pair of peach blossom eyes, picturesque eyebrows, and a graceful figure, which made people want to kiss her.For some reason, San'er always felt that the woman was not a good person, but she couldn't help a few companions to show compassion, so she took her back to her residence.

……

In the room, San'er's voice continued, tremblingly sorting out the stories one by one.

"The woman came to our place, and she was safe for two days. But after a while, one of the four helpers named Lao Jiu suddenly brought the woman over and bid farewell to me, saying that he wanted to marry her. Go to a neighboring county to join her relatives.

It's strange to say that at night, I dreamed of Lao Jiu, who refused to come in outside the door, asked him what's wrong, didn't speak, just lowered his head, and after a while, he opened his mouth, with a strange voice, A little vague, said: He is almost eaten.At that time, I just thought it was a dream and didn't care. "

Chen Yuan frowned: "The next day, that girl came back again?"

"Brother Chen, how did you know?" San'er was a little surprised, and felt relieved when he thought that the fourth child was not an ordinary person, so he continued talking.

"The woman did come back and cried to us, saying that the old nine took all her money and ran away without a trace, and came to us to ask for an explanation!"

"In broad daylight, it's not an option to let a woman cry outside the door, so I had to invite her into the courtyard. I didn't think too much about it at the time, and I really thought that Lao Jiu had the idea of ​​stealing after playing with that woman. But on the second day, the woman took the arm of another helper, and the two are going to get married in this yard..."

"...The marriage was simple and tight. The two of them hurriedly bowed in the hall, and then entered the bridal chamber. The remaining two helpers wanted to make trouble with the bride, but found that the door was locked... The next morning, they didn't see each other. The married helper, the woman said that she went out early in the morning to buy rouge for her, but after a while, I came from the backyard and saw this woman dragging a helper named Wang Qi into the room."

San'er swallowed his saliva and trembled uncontrollably, "I was a little angry at the time, so I called Liu Fu, who was the last helper, and we went to break the door open so that the two of us could have an adulterous relationship." We can't succeed... But we went inside... Liu Fu and I saw that woman... No, it should be said that a weird thing was sitting on the bedside, gnawing on Wang Qi's head... Seeing us both laughed a few times, jumped The window is gone."

"At this time, we realized that Lao Jiu and the others had been eaten long ago. We originally wanted to report to the government, but the government didn't believe this. They were busy with the Hu people in the north, so Liu Fu and I had to buy some on the street. The yellow talisman was pasted at the door... But as soon as night fell, the woman came over and called people's names outside the door...Liu Fu didn't pay attention and was called by her..."

After talking about the ins and outs of the matter in one breath, San'er relaxed a lot, and with Chen Yuan here, he felt at ease.

Across the table, the crazy old man raised his elbow and pushed the little girl: "What do you think?"

"I... I dare not look at it!" Qiaoer thought of the weird horror that Saner said just now, and the picture at that time seemed to emerge in her mind, "Ah!" screamed, covering her face in fear.

Over there, Chen Yuan looked at San'er's expression with her hands behind her back, and if she saw that she was lying, then she really ran into a ghost.

"This is the path to my cultivation..."

Immediately, he asked San'er to clean up, followed him back to the city to settle down, sent Qiao'er back to Mingguang, and asked if there was any talisman to conceal the breath.
"What do fellow Taoists do with this talisman?"

"Exorcist!"

Chen Yuan took the talisman paper, turned around and strode out of the courtyard gate, Qiaoer chased after her, sent her to the gate and waved at her back: "Brother, be careful, catch that monster!"

In response, the distant figure raised his hand and waved, before disappearing around the corner in front of him.

The sky gradually sinks.

Before dark, Chen Yuan returned to the courtyard, pasted the talisman that concealed her cultivation on the back of the chair in the outer room, lit a candle, and held "Miscellaneous Suspicions of Huangchuan" in her hand to read the story in the dim light of the fire.

The night was quiet, only the wind rustled the almond trees in the yard.

The old cow in the backyard was crawling on the ground, blowing away a yellow talisman stuck between his eyes in a bored breath, shaking his ears suddenly, looking up at the night sky, the clear moon was gradually being covered by night clouds.

The apricot tree in the courtyard swayed back and forth in the wind, and the lanterns under the eaves reflected the swaying branches and threw them on the window lattice, as if there were some sneaky creatures showing their teeth and claws outside.

rustling...

Mr. Lang~~Mr.~~
In the sound of the branches stroking, there were crisp words like silver bells floating in from the outside along the night wind.Chen Yuan raised his face, the closed door creaked open, and the wind blew the leaves to his feet.

In the dark courtyard, there was a faint red lantern shaking, slowly floating along the eaves towards this side, calling "Lang Jun."

Walking through the light of the lantern under the eaves, behind the red lantern, there is a woman in a green skirt, with thick skin and peachy eyes. I saw that in the open middle hall, it was not Saner who was sitting. Her pretty face was puzzled for a moment, then she lowered her face slightly and pursed her lips into a shy smile.

"It turns out that such a handsome gentleman here makes this concubine so abrupt."

"Since it's abrupt, let's leave." Chen Yuan patted the book on her hand, "Don't disturb my reading."

Suddenly these words made the beautiful woman stunned, then she gave a low laugh, walked in with lotus steps, gently pushed the door with jade fingers, closed the door, leaned against the door and looked at the candle flame A face with a focused expression.

"Lang Jun, is that book as good as mine?!"

Among the lights, the graceful figure cut at the door dropped her dress, and her white jade feet stepped over the skirt on the ground, slowly approaching Chen Yuan under the lamp with her waist swaying, dragging her towering breasts, leaning over to blow Take a breath, and the voice is soft.

"The good night is short, how can you patronize reading and not me."

Looking at the man buried in the book, she couldn't help but want to lick his neck with her tongue. At this moment, Chen Yuan looked away from the book and raised her face. The woman hurriedly closed her mouth and showed a charming smile, but , what landed on the glamorous face was the rolled up book tapping her forehead lightly.

The looking eyes showed majesty.

"What's so interesting about you, it's just your skin."

Chen Yuan's words were so cold that the woman's face changed. In her eyes, she could faintly see four figures holding dragon knives, snake spears, double maces, and iron whips in the air above the handsome man's back. The silhouette, wearing a golden armor, is staring at him.

"Wow!" cried out loudly, but the woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

　This story comes from Zhi Nuo Gaozhong in "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu".

　　But the spring breeze changed most of the story
