Unprecedented

Chapter 12

Two days later, Luzhou.

The Xianglong Kingdom has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and Luzhou City is located on the banks of the Xiaoshui River. In the city, there are continuous houses, pavilions, towers, pavilions, scenic spots and ancient temples.There is also a special product here, which is famous in Xianglong country, and almost every family has it-oiled paper umbrella.

When Shuang Lan'er arrived in Luzhou City, it was almost nightfall. There were many wine shops on the street, Zhulou flanked the road, and pedestrians were like crucian carp.Chrysanthemums are planted everywhere on both sides of the road, although it is late autumn, they are quite elegant.

Linglong was extraordinarily excited, and kept looking through the car window along the way, whenever she saw something new, she would slap Shuang Laner beside her, chattering non-stop.

After asking pedestrians, I finally found Tianfeng Tower.Shuang Lan'er arranged Linglong to wait in one room, while she went to the other room to discuss business. Maybe Feng Yanxue had greeted her beforehand, maybe the other party appreciated her ability to identify medicinal materials, and the business was concluded quickly and went smoothly. .

Shuang Lan'er's task was completed, and she went to look for Linglong immediately, but Linglong had slipped out of the room long ago, she sighed, she knew that Linglong was so playful, she would not be able to stay idle, they were not familiar with each other in Luzhou, so don't mess with her. What's up.Thinking in a hurry, she asked around, and a restaurant maid said that she saw Linglong running to the small island in the lake in the backyard.She went down to search immediately, without delay.

At that time, it was the busiest time of the night, the lights were dazzling, and the lights sprinkled on the green lake, as if illuminating the pool full of twinkling stars. A nine-curved bridge led directly to the small island in the center of the lake. A loft with high eaves was built in the center of the island, brightly lit.

Shuang Lan'er quickly stepped onto the Jiuqu Bridge and went straight to the attic to look for Linglong.The four hall doors were opened, and she saw the most dazzling person inside at a glance.Maybe he is too dazzling, it is impossible for you not to see him.In the luxurious attic, pearls are the curtains and gold silk is the cushion. He is wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with peony flowers. Such fancy clothes, few people can wear them, so he is just right.As the saying goes, people are more beautiful than flowers.With black eyebrows and long eyes, her face is like the morning glow.Enchanting, romantic, and handsome, who else could there be besides Long Teng?

Only then did Shuang Lan'er remember that Long Teng was demoted to Luzhou.She still remembered that the blood that he spit out of his mouth that night sprayed on her body, and the hot feeling on her face was unforgettable to this day.It's not that she hasn't been grateful, she hasn't felt guilty, and she's also thought about how he, who was demoted to Luzhou, has been doing for the past year.Could it be that the world is in a cold world, and it will make people worse...

However, her worries were unnecessary.

The people inside seemed to have drunk a lot and laughed heartily.The table in front of him was full of vegetables and fruits, and a maid wearing a sky blue pleated dress with high black hair was pouring wine for him.I saw Long Teng holding up the sapphire wine cup and drinking a full cup.When he raised his head, his black hair fell backwards, drawing a bewitching arc under the light, that posture was as charming as it could be.

After drinking, Long Teng threw the wine cup behind him in a chic movement, and said with a languid voice, "Sing, keep singing."

At this moment, another maid held the pipa, sat down Yingying, plucked it lightly with her slender fingers, and after a round of front notes, she suddenly opened her throat and sang softly.

In such a situation, Shuang Lan'er rubbed her eyes vigorously, rubbed them again, opened her beautiful eyes and looked around, and then she was sure that Long Teng was really enjoying this place alone, accompanied by beautiful women, drinking wine and listening to ditties .It's really... so comfortable!It seems that he is not downcast, but rather reluctant to leave!

She hesitated at the door, hesitating whether to go in and say hello, after all Long Teng had saved her.

At this time, Long Teng raised his head and drank the last drop of fine wine in the jug, looked up and saw Shuang Lan'er, he beckoned to Shuang Lan'er to come and sit beside him.

Shuang Lan'er took a slow breath, raised her skirt and stepped into the hall. Since Long Teng saw her, she had to go in and say hello.Otherwise, wouldn't it be ungrateful.

The hall is extraordinarily luxurious, with carpets all over the floor, and a huge bronze lamp hanging on the top, like a nine-story pagoda. The candlelight in more than a dozen lamp bowls illuminates the entire hall like daytime.

The girl pouring wine and the girl playing the pipa stopped at the same time when they saw Shuang Lan'er coming in.

Shuang Lan'er approached Long Teng and was about to make a sound when she suddenly felt all the scenes in front of her eyes flash by. The next moment, her bun was already heavily pressed on the soft carpet, and her eyes just fell on the bronze chandelier above her head , Looking at the faint candlelight.

What is the situation?It turned out that it was Long Teng who clasped her wrist behind his back and forced her onto the carpet.It was clearly late autumn, and it was very cool in the palace, but his hand felt like a hot fire, scalding her skin.

She looked at him, her eyes were occupied by his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and the pungent smell of alcohol rushed towards her face, obviously the person in front of her was drunk.There was a "click" in her heart, how drunk he was.Just when he was about to struggle, he had already pinched her small face, his eyes were cloudy, he looked at her for a long time, and then said: "Hey, why does the girl sent to me by Tianfeng Tower look familiar? Who does she look like... It's strange... "

I'm familiar with your size!Shuang Lan'er got angry and pushed Long Teng hard, but unfortunately he was too heavy to shake at all.She had no choice but to yell in his ear: "Let go of me! Bastard!"

As if turning a deaf ear, Long Teng focused all his attention on her, pinched her chin, looked left and right, and rubbed her porcelain-like skin under the dim light. Beautiful merchandise for people to enjoy.

The two maids saw it clearly, the master probably fell in love with the girl who just came in, although Tianfeng Tower is not a brothel, if a rich and powerful son falls in love with a maid and singer, it is not easy to refuse, This is the rule of doing things in Tianfeng Tower.One of the maids asked cautiously, "Master Long, do you need us to go out?"

Long Teng waved his hand, with an impatient expression: "Get out of here! Close the palace door."

The two maids retreated cleverly. When the door of the palace was closed heavily, Shuang Lan'er really realized the danger. She originally wanted to come in to say hello, but unfortunately fell into the jaws of this drunken man.What is this called?
The moment her mind went blank, the man's hand had already penetrated into her skirt.Touching her chest through the bellyband, she was startled, only to feel a raging flame burning in her chest.She is really hot, who knows if he is really drunk or not, if he really didn't recognize her or if he didn't recognize her.So she roared, "Get out of here! I'm Shuang—"

Before he finished speaking, he actually stuffed a ball of cloth into her mouth.The next moment, he grabbed her long hair suddenly, pulled her face closer, and looked at her with interest, his eyes were drunk and sharp, like admiring a dying animal.

She had never seen such a bad side of him.It's hard to imagine, if he is really drunk at this moment, then he usually bullies weak women like this?Mouth gagged, unable to scold him.She could only stare at him with wide eyes.

Long Teng suddenly sighed softly, and his slender fingers moved from the beautiful curve of her neck to the collar of the clothes. He was very patient, and unbuttoned her one by one, with a condescending posture and a pleasant smile on his lips, as if he was enjoying the execution of Ling Chi. The pleasure of torture tortured the woman's nerves bit by bit.

Shuang Lan'er wanted to scold, but she couldn't make a sound when she went to scold, there was a wind blowing, her chest felt cold, and he had slowly untied most of her clothes, the blue water-like bellyband made her skin like snow, The perfect semicircle like suet on her chest undulated like waves as she gasped for breath.

His slightly cold breath and hot lips fell on her blue lips with anger, and on the beautiful lines of her neck. His nimble fingers skillfully rubbed her pretty plumpness, biting gently. Her lips even contained the slight pain from her throat, and then, his slender fingers stretched all the way down along the soft waistline.His breathing was getting hotter and hotter, as if he said something close to her ear, she was so angry that she didn't hear a word clearly, only saw his hateful face, suddenly far away and now near.

Have you ever seen a wolf that eats people while smiling?Now she sees it.

It seems that she knows too little about Long Teng.Dude, now you have to add vileness and shamelessness.Merry, and now dirty.

She wanted to call for help, but she couldn't make a sound, and she didn't know what dirty thing he used to plug her mouth, maybe it was a silk handkerchief used by other women, and she felt sick just thinking about it.

Just when she felt hopeless, he suddenly stopped moving.The whole body weighed heavily on her body, so heavy, like a thousand gold boulders, that she couldn't breathe.Turning her face reluctantly, she saw his magnified handsome face was almost close to her eyes, his thin lips were pressed against her cheeks, his phoenix eyes were closed tightly, his eyelashes were long and dense, occasionally trembling slightly, like a black butterfly Flap your brisk wings.

The stars outside the hall are dim, and the autumn leaves are falling.The aloes in the hall are curling up, and the warmth is harmonious.

He fell asleep like this, fell asleep defenselessly, in front of her.At that moment, she quietly looked at his sleeping handsome face, unable to say a word.She couldn't speak, of course, because he pressed her arms and legs so tightly that she couldn't move at all, and the cloth was stuffed in her mouth.Could it be that she was going to be pressed by him all night?She still wants to find Linglong, what should she do?
She sighed for a long time, it was useless to think too much, she had to face the reality, she could only hope that Long Teng would wake up early, and don't sleep till the sun was up, lest she would be raped by him by then.

The following time seems to pass more slowly, and every second is suffering.

She couldn't do anything, so she could only stare blankly at the candle in the bronze lamp bowl above her head burning little by little until it was about to burn out.

Fortunately, Long Teng didn't sleep for a long time, only three hours.He got up from Shuang Lan'er's warm body, inserted his slender five fingers into his soft and thick long hair, smoothed it out, and stretched again.When he looked at Shuanglan'er again, his phoenix eyes seemed extremely surprised, and his voice was even more shameless, "Hey, why is it you, Shuangshuang?"

Shuang Lan'er got angry and rolled her eyes, she knew it would be like this.

The next moment, he actually laughed, his smile was like a mountain flower, and it was everywhere, "Hey, what are you doing with the veil in your mouth? Is this delicious? You are not so hungry, hahaha——"

At that time, Shuang Lan'er even wanted to strangle him to death, and her face was so black that she knew it would be like this. When he woke up, he would definitely push him away and remember nothing.Hateful, really hateful!But how can you bear him?In desperation, she could only stare at him fiercely.

Long Teng reached out and took out the silk handkerchief stuffed in Shuang Lan'er's mouth.Looking at Shuang Lan'er who was still lying on the ground with her skirts loosened, his eyes lingered on her snow-white chest, and then slowly moved to her puffy little face, as if puzzled: "Why are you so tired?" Why are you still lying on the ground? The clothes are not buttoned properly? Oh, do you want to wait for me to love you? "

fart!No matter how well-bred Shuang Lan'er is, she also wants to curse at this time.She wants to lie on the ground?Wait for him to hurt?Three hours!For three whole hours, her whole body was numb under his pressure, and she couldn't move at all, he had the nerve to say that!She really had nothing to say to such a shameless person, she turned her head to one side, her chest heaving with anger.Forget it, she comforted herself repeatedly, what was there to say to a rascal.

Of course, this matter is just a small episode.

After all, they met again, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a year.Afterwards, Long Teng smiled apologetically, and invited Shuang Lan'er to the small lake behind the building to catch up.

Shuang Lan'er put on her clothes, followed Long Teng to the back of the hall, and found that there was a small lake behind the big lake, with willows on the shore.

Holding a lantern in his hand, Long Teng walked along the lake embankment.

Shuang Lan'er followed Long Teng silently, turning around a rockery, and a small boat was tied to a willow tree by the lake.Long Teng lightly jumped onto the boat, and he inserted the wind lamp in the bow of the boat, showing a smile like the rising sun to Shuang Lan'er, "Miss Shuang, please."

Shuang Lan'er walked in front of the boat, stopped and looked down at him, "Huliu Qingzhou, you are elegant, but unfortunately I don't have the leisure time."

Long Teng chewed and smiled in his eyes, "Luzhou has a vast land and is far away from Beijing. I'm really free. I spend more than 300 days drinking with the moon and stars. It's just for my own enjoyment. Fortunately, Miss Shuang came from afar tonight. You see , I'm just lonely and boring, can you please accompany me? It will be fine in a while." After speaking, he gracefully stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please".

What he said sounds pitiful.Shuang Lan'er thought to herself that she would go swimming with him on the lake only when her brain was burnt out, but his words touched a chord in the deepest part of her heart.

For more than 300 days and nights, he was alone in Luzhou, unable to return to Shangyang City, that was really lonely.She couldn't be more aware of the feeling of having no one to accompany you, and you can only look at the moon and stars until dawn.In fact, on the night of the emperor's birthday banquet, if he had put all the responsibility on her, how could he have come to such a downfall.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Emperor Long Xiaotian wanted to sacrifice her to keep Long Teng.As long as he pushes the boat with the current, she will definitely die.

Feeling slightly moved in her heart, she stepped onto the black boat and sat gently on the stern.

Long Teng took the oars from the shore, slowly broke through the water, and also shattered the bright moon in the water, but saw the silver light traveling far along with the waves.He put away the oars and continued rowing on the other side.

In the cold moon and green lake, the black boat swayed slowly, carrying them to the center of the lake.Looking back, everything around the lake is far away, only the corners of the pavilions and buildings outline the outline of the night, and there are a few dim red flashes, which are the burning lamps.

The lake wind blew, and the hair on the side of Shuang Lan'er's neck was lifted and fluttered.At some point, Long Teng stopped the boat, came to her side, and reached out to hold a strand of hair beside her cheek.

Long Teng lowered his eyes, couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice was soft, "Did you live well in those days?"

Almost instantly, heartbroken rushed to her forehead, Shuang Lan'er wet her eyes, took a deep breath, held back the tears that were about to fall, and made a hoarse voice in her throat, "I'm fine, how about you? What are you doing in Luzhou? "

Long Teng smiled "hehe", "Grandfather asked me to take the post of household secretary in the prefect of Luzhou. I don't have any official titles, and I don't have anything to do. If I don't go for ten days and a half months, no one will find out. I'm at ease."

At this time, the two of them were reflected in the lake water, rippling with the clear waves.

Suddenly, Shuang Lan'er couldn't help getting up and standing in front of Long Teng.Looking up, the shadow of the moon was reflected in her eyes, she looked at him fixedly, and asked seriously: "At that time, why did you help me?"

Long Teng didn't move at all.

The small table in the boat is covered with small white flowers that bloomed and withered yesterday.Snow white and light yellow in color, it looks like a dazed snowflake in the night.He leaned over, grabbed a handful, and sprinkled it lightly into the lake, only to see a little white shadow appearing in the lake, going away with the gurgling water.

Shuang Lan'er's voice was a bit hollow, like an empty and silent night, and she asked again, "Why did you help me at that time?" She had to understand this question, because she suddenly felt that she didn't understand him at all, he Why do you have to bear all the charges alone, why would you rather be demoted to the remote Luzhou, far away from the palace, and far away from the core of power.No matter how prosperous the place is, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is still an empty beauty.Even if he is dressed in brocade and drunk, but he has nothing to do with the rights.

The bright moon sinks to the west.

The wind blew, and it hurt slightly, Shuang Lan'er quietly waited for his answer.

There seemed to be waves in Long Teng's beautiful eyes, but he didn't answer directly, he seemed to tilt his head and think hard.Under the cold moon in the blue lake, a smile gradually filled his eyes, his eyes fell on her chest, the corners of his lips curled up, and he suddenly smiled evilly, "Because, you have big breasts, which is the type I like."

Shuang Lan'er was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt a surge of anger rushing to her forehead.Seeing his serious thinking, she thought he would say something touching.love him...

Thinking of this, she was unceremonious, stepped forward and kicked him into the lake.

With a "crash", a huge wave splashed by the side of the boat, and through the waves, she saw his gorgeous figure floating on the water like a peony flower.She couldn't help feeling secretly, what a Long Teng, he was extremely shameless and scoundrel, she wanted to kick him into the river long ago.Today's opportunity was given by him, and he asked for it himself. It really fulfilled her wish.

"Haha, you have today too!"

The boat swayed and swayed, only Shuang Laner clapped her hands and smiled comfortably.

But, after a while, she couldn't laugh anymore.The colorful figure gradually sank to the bottom of the water, but Long Teng hadn't poked his head out yet.She couldn't help but worry, maybe he is a landlubber.This is bad.

"Longteng! Longteng! Shaoyun! Shaoyun—" her face gradually turned pale, she clung to the edge of the boat, leaned half of her body out of the lake, and shouted hastily.

On the empty lake, no one responded.

Shuang Lan'er's face turned even paler, and she quickly took off her outer clothes. This is the center of the lake, no matter how much she shouted, no one would come to rescue her. Although she can swallow water, she can't save people. The clothes are too heavy when wet will be cumbersome.She quickly took off her shoes, wearing only a thin underwear, and was about to jump into the lake when she heard a "hula" sound of wind and water in her ears, it was Long Teng jumping up from the water, he grabbed her Slender arms, smiled: "Come on, this is a rare warm water lake, you come down and wash together."

The boat was shaking, but Shuang Lan'er was caught off guard, and was pulled into the water by Long Teng, with a "crash", another splash of water was stirred up.

The lake water is not as cold as imagined, it is really warm!The warm water soaks the whole body, which is extremely comfortable, as if it can wash away the exhaustion all over the body.Shuang Lan'er emerged from the lake and shook her drenched long hair.

In front of him, Long Teng leaned against the black boat with his back, stretched his slender arms, rested his hands leisurely on the edge of the boat, and tapped the wall of the boat lightly, one after another.

At this time, the sky was about to brighten, and a small opening was opened in the east, and a ray of golden morning glow shrouded him. At that moment, his handsome face was more dazzling than the morning glow. The wind blew his drenched long hair, and scattered strands of it on the water. , with the rippling blue waves, forming a very seductive beauty.

Shuang Lan'er only felt a slight jump in her heart, and there was a rosy glow all around, and the breeze was blowing.The surrounding is so quiet that it seems that I can hear my own breathing, which is slightly rapid.She swam to the side of the black boat, Su Bai put one hand on the side of the boat, said slightly annoyed: "You know how to swim, why did you scare me just now?"

But Long Teng turned over suddenly, put his hands on her neck, and tightly surrounded her by the side of the boat.

At this time, the beautiful morning glow in the sky was reflected in his eyes, and the light in his eyes was as clear and clear as the lake water around him.

He was so close, with such a serious expression, staring at her for a moment, she was a little nervous, not knowing what he was going to do, or what he wanted to say.

After a long time, his voice was as soft as the warm April wind, and he said softly, "Shuangshuang, I like you a little bit."

Shuang Lan'er was stunned, a red halo appeared on her face, it was astonishingly beautiful.

Long Teng stared, then suddenly let go of her and swam around, laughing wildly, "Do you really believe it? You are so easy to deceive. I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen you so stupid. Hahaha—— "

Shuang Lan'er: "..."

The sunshine in late autumn is golden, and strands of it come out from the gaps in the clouds, as if it is a soft gauze spread on the ground.

Shuang Lan'er called a servant girl from Tianfenglou to get a change of clothes from the carriage, and left Tianfenglou impatiently after changing.Linglong seemed to have left Tianfeng Tower, and she didn't know where to go to play around, she walked faster and faster, feeling anxious in her heart.

Long Teng also changed into a blue brocade robe, and his long hair, which he didn't have time to dry, was casually tied around his waist with a gold ribbon. At this moment, he was swaying left and right following his movements, making beautiful arcs.He quickly followed Shuang Laner's footsteps, approached her face cheekily, and said with an apologetic smile: "Little Shuangshuang, you are still angry with me. Don't be angry, I will feel bad if I get angry. Just now I just Just teasing you."

Shuang Lan'er ignored her.

Long Teng continued to bombard her ears, "Okay, okay, I admit, I like to see you angry, you don't know how cute you are. Seeing that your little face is swollen like a red apple, I just want to take a bite Haha, Shuangshuang, don’t ignore me, we’ve kissed and hugged each other before. Last night we slept together again. People say that after ten years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and we can sleep together after a hundred years of cultivation... ..."

Shuang Lan'er frowned, stopped suddenly, and rolled her bright eyes.The more he talks, the more outrageous he is!Who slept with him all night, really!
She stopped suddenly, and Long Teng didn't have time to stop his feet, so he had to open his arms and hug her tightly, so as to ensure that his forward momentum would not knock her down.

His body was full of manly aura, seeing that he was taking advantage of her again, Shuang Lan'er didn't want to get angry at first, but she rushed up with anger and pushed him away forcefully, she reprimanded loudly: "Everyone hugs and hugs, you Shameless, I want more. Long Teng, listen up, stay away from me! Don't follow me!"

Long Teng gave his head lazily, with an extremely aggrieved face, and said sadly: "Shuangshuang, don't be like this, I helped you because I was afraid of you falling. Okay, okay, it's all my fault, Don't be angry, okay?"

"You!" Shuang Lan'er got angry, pointing at him sideways, "All I need to do is hold me up. You're clearly taking this opportunity... Forget it! You think I'm a fool. Hmph!"

At this time, a gray-haired old woman happened to pass by. She looked at the innocent Long Teng, and then at the fierce Shuang Lan'er. She thought it was a young couple who were at odds, and stepped forward to persuade her, "Hey, young couple!" Yes, you have something to say to him carefully. You see, he knows he was wrong, so you forgive him. When you are young and when you get together, don’t always make noise. Wait until you are old and parted, and then miss each other. It's too late to regret."

When Long Teng heard this, he was immediately stunned. On closer inspection, there was a little sparkle in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, his hateful thin lips were bent, and his expression became more and more pitiful.

His voice was mellow and pleasant, "Don't be angry, my lady. It's all because of my husband. I won't do it again for my husband, okay? Everyone here will be a witness, I have a sincere heart for her, and the world can learn from it. My lady, Just forgive me—" At the end of the words, he actually looked at her with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Several people on the side of the road stopped to watch the commotion. They cast their sympathetic eyes on Long Teng in this situation.

sky!Can he pretend a little more and pretend a little more!But these passers-by are all blind.Shuang Lan'er's face instantly turned purple, and besides being angry, she was more indignant.After finally calming down the anger in her heart, she bit her lip hard, turned around and waved her hands, "Forget it, let's go."

A bewitching smile spread across Long Teng's lips, he quickly followed her, and hugged her in his arms.

There were so many people that it was difficult to push him away, and when she was far away, Shuang Lan'er broke free immediately, gave him a deadly stare, and warned: "Okay, I don't care about what happened yesterday. Don't follow me anymore. Since the emperor has assigned you the post of household secretary, you are still an official, so if you do it well, you may have a comeback day." After a pause, she looked at him with a rogue face, not listening at all, and sighed : "I'm looking for someone, so just leave it alone and go do your work."

"Who are you looking for?" Long Teng asked.

"You don't know me. I met a friend who came to Luzhou with me in Hongzhou. I arranged a room for her in Tianxiang Building last night and asked her to wait for me. Maybe she couldn't wait and ran out to play by herself. "

"Luzhou is so big, how did you find it? Besides, you don't know the place well, do you want me to help?" Long Teng asked again.

Shuang Lan'er shook her head, "Not for now, she likes places with lots of people. I'll go to the front market to have a look first—it's really impossible, she is so old, she can go back by herself—"

Before she finished speaking, her gaze was drawn to the crowd by the river not far away, through the occasional gaps in the dense crowd, she saw a familiar figure, it was not Linglong.

With a chill in her heart, Shuang Lan'er hurried forward, only to see Linglong looking embarrassed, surrounded by everyone pointing and pointing.

A little girl was slumped on the ground, she seemed to have sprained her ankle, and was crying from the pain.A woman in blue pointed at Linglong and cursed: "Such a young child can do it, you are really vicious."

Linglong's face was flushed, and she said angrily, "Hey, don't spit blood. I saw the little girl fall, so I kindly went up to help her. How can you spit blood?"

A middle-aged woman squatted down to comfort the little girl, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, how old are you?"

The little girl showed a trace of panic, "Six years old."

The middle-aged woman pretended to pat the back of the little girl's head, and then asked, "Can you tell us what happened just now? Don't be afraid, there are so many people here, everyone will help you."

From Shuang Lan'er's perspective, she happened to see the middle-aged woman gently grabbing the little girl's waist with her hands, and a stern look flashed across her lowered eyes.

Immediately, the six-year-old girl burst into tears in pain, pointed at Linglong and shouted: "It's her! She said she would take me to a place where I can eat and drink without worrying about food. If I refused, she kicked me hard, woo woo..."

As soon as the words came out, the crowd suddenly boiled, and accusations came one after another.

"Could this girl want to sell the little girl to a brothel? It's too vicious."

"Sell it to a brothel, don't dare, in broad daylight, there is no king's law."

"How can a six-year-old tell lies?"

"It's too much, you must report to the official."

"What's the use of reporting to the official? Look at this girl's gorgeous clothes. Maybe the rich people want to catch a few little girls and go back to the mansion to have sex with them. If they bribe them at that time, won't the common people suffer? Besides, what they say is groundless, no Evidence."

"Then what should we do? Can't we just let it go?"

"Ask her to lose money! It's too much! Officials don't care, we ordinary people have to do justice for the sky!"

At this time, the little girl's mother, that is, the woman in blue, cried and fell to the ground, beating her chest and stamping her feet, "God! Why am I so miserable? The child's father left early, leaving orphans and widows alone and no one cares! God!"

Shuang Lan'er couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to distinguish loudly: "Everyone, don't be fooled by this mother and daughter, and this woman, they are all in the same group, singing double reeds to cheat money!"

When the woman in blue heard it, she cried to death.

The middle-aged woman pointed at Shuang Lan'er's nose and cursed: "Did you see that? There are still people in this world whose consciences have been eaten by dogs, who open their eyes and talk nonsense! Girl, be careful if you are struck by lightning, you will die!"

Linglong couldn't bear Shuang Lan'er being insulted by others, so she hurriedly said: "Lan'er, forget it, it's all my fault for meddling in other people's business and getting into trouble. I admit it, and just give them money."

The incomparably vicious words of the middle-aged woman made Long Teng's eyebrows frowned, and his eyes were slightly hazy.He who was watching the play from the sidelines and had no intention of meddling, said at this moment: "I said this aunt, if their mother and daughter are really liars, what would you say?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes were on the sky, she was extremely arrogant, "If they are liars, I will jump into the river today!"

"Okay!" Long Teng slapped his palm hard, gently shook off the long black hair sticking in front of him, and walked in front of the little girl.Leaning over, he asked gently, "Are you sure, this sister kicked you?" She pointed at Linglong with a slender finger.

The little girl nodded ignorantly, "That's her."

Long Teng asked again: "Is she standing in front of you and kicking you, or standing behind you?"

The little girl thought for a while and said, "Front, no, no, stand behind."

Long Teng chuckled, "Oh, so you can see clearly who kicked you from behind you. Come on, let me show you the wound." After finishing speaking, he rolled up the little girl's trouser legs, looked at it, and said to everyone : "Look, if she was kicked violently from behind, she should be kneeling on the ground, but there is no scar on her knee at all. If you look carefully, the wound on her leg is about three fingers wide, and the indentation is even. After the kick, the wound should be It's diffuse, so it's clearly a club wound."

When the words came out, the audience felt that it made sense and nodded their heads one after another.

The middle-aged woman was in a hurry, "You are just inferring randomly, why..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Long Teng sharply, "We can go to the government office. Also, the woman in blue has a dark complexion, and the little girl has fair skin. If mother and daughter really don't look like each other, why don't we go to the government office?" Check the household registration."

The woman in blue who lied to be the little girl's mother before saw that the situation was wrong, picked up the little girl and turned around and left, saying repeatedly: "Forget it, it seems that there is a misunderstanding, the child hurt her foot, I will take her to treat it immediately."

When things came to light, the crowd dispersed.

The middle-aged woman who sang the oboe just wanted to slip away.Long Teng raised his right foot lightly, and a stone drew a smooth arc in the air, hitting the middle-aged woman's calf.The middle-aged woman screamed and fell to her knees in pain.

Long Teng's voice was not cold, nor did he look at the middle-aged woman, his expression was like a thin cloud in the sky, and he said calmly: "Wait, your promise has not been fulfilled."

Shuang Lan'er knew what Long Teng meant, she gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, and persuaded: "It's just a liar."

Long Teng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light shining from the bottom of his eyes, approaching the middle-aged woman who fell on the ground, he bent down and smiled brightly, "You said it yourself just now, if that mother and daughter are liars, you will jump into the river Why don’t you go soon? Or do you want me to report to the police?”

Looking at Long Teng's smile at the moment, the middle-aged woman felt that that smile was sharper than a knife. Being stared at by him like this, she felt that a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe, making her hair stand on end.Helpless, she had no choice but to get up from the ground and walk towards the river with a limp step. She turned her head from time to time, begging, and finally knelt down on the ground, with tears and snot in her nose: "My lord, look at how old I am!" I'm not in good health, and it's so cold, I jumped into the river and didn't freeze to death. Lord, please be merciful, I won't dare again!"

Long Teng stretched out his ten fingers in a gesture, fiddled with the emerald ring on his thumb under the sun, with a smile still on his lips, "I don't have much patience, don't make me say it a second time."

The middle-aged woman was forced to climb to the river and jumped down with a "plop".Huge waves were stirred up in the river, splashing up to three feet, and even sporadic splashes hit Shuang Lan'er's cheeks, so cold, like a drop of scattered ice beads.

Shuang Lan'er had never seen such a Long Teng before, and there was a hint of cruelty and coldness hidden under his handsome face.

Long Teng lowered his head and smiled, and said to himself, "It's what you deserve, who told you to curse her."

Shuang Lan'er didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Shaoyun, what did you just say?"

Long Teng smiled lightly and shook his head, "It's nothing. Well, I think you've found the person you're looking for. It's noon, why don't we go have dinner together?"

Shuang Lan'er immediately refused, waved her hand and said, "I can't, I have to rush back to Hongzhou."

At this time Linglong came to Shuang Lan'er, took Shuang Lan'er's arm affectionately, and said sweetly: "Lan'er, you haven't introduced me yet. Who is this young master?"

Shuang Lan'er said "Oh", and replied: "This is Long Teng, a friend I met in Shangyang City."

Linglong stroked her slightly messy long hair, took a step forward, and said, "The little girl's name is Linglong, thank you Mr. Long for your help."

Shuang Lan'er glanced at Linglong suspiciously, this girl, what is she doing, her expression is cramped, her face is as red as two crabapple fruits.The movements are graceful and the voice is sweet.Is this the Linglong she knew?
The corners of Long Teng's lips curled up into a habitual smile, "It's nothing to worry about."

This smile, in Linglong's eyes, is like the sun rising above the sea, shining brightly.She was dumbfounded, and couldn't come back to her senses. In front of him was a sky blue gown, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes shone like precious stones.If it is said that he is only gorgeous, but his whole body also has a kind of misty and cold meaning.The sun appeared and disappeared from time to time, sometimes fine gold sprinkled on his shoulders, and sometimes it was gloomy, making him sometimes like a dazzling morning sun, and sometimes like a lonely frost.

Long Teng looked at Shuang Lan'er, with an amber-like luster in his eyes, "I'm leaving so soon, I wonder if I'm welcome to go to Hongzhou to chat with you for a few days?"

Shuang Lan'er was taken aback.

Long Teng smiled "hehe", and said again: "Actually, I happen to have business to go to Hongzhou, how about we go together?"

The corners of Shuang Lan'er's mouth twitched slightly, happened to be on business?Ghosts believed what Long Teng said.Before she could open her mouth, Linglong had already said: "Young Master Long is willing to reward you. It would be great. How could Lan Er refuse? Lan Er, right?" , softly said: "Lan'er, thank you for giving me a chance, Mr. Long."

"This..." Shuang Lan'er looked at Linglong suspiciously, only to see that Linglong's cheeks were flushed, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were like glass.She was stunned again, Linglong is usually careless, how did she become shy today, did she change her sex overnight?

"How?" Long Teng Ruyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his expression full of expectation, waiting for Shuang Lan'er's answer.

Shuang Lan'er couldn't refuse anymore, so she reluctantly nodded.Thinking about it, she added: "However, I am very busy with business, and I don't have much time to greet you."

Linglong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lan'er, I'm free, and I will do my best as a landlord for you."

"Thank you, two girls."

Long Teng smiled courteously.Such a fake smile made Shuang Lan'er recall that in Shangyang City, Long Teng was still the fourth-rank governor at that time, and he always pretended to be fair and honest in front of others, but he was actually a bag of grass inside.He is really good at pretending and acting, it's a pity not to be an actor.Turning her eyes, she looked at Linglong, who was blushing pretty, and was slightly taken aback.For some reason, there was a feeling of suffocation in my heart, as if I had a bad premonition, and I always felt that something would happen.

Back in Hongzhou, Shuang Lan'er has been busy for two days, handling all the delays in the store, and replenishing a batch of goods one after another.She was too busy to greet Long Teng, but Linglong invited Long Teng to dinner.Originally Linglong invited Long Teng to stay in Fangfu, but Long Teng politely declined, and only lived in the backyard of her pharmacy.

After that, two more busy days passed.

At first, Shuang Lan'er thought that Long Teng's coming to Hongzhou was just an excuse, but unexpectedly, Long Teng was really busy. He didn't see anyone for two days, and only returned to the backyard of the pharmacy to rest in the middle of the night.

This night, the night was dark and the moonlight was pouring down like silver. Long Teng slowly appeared at the corner from the end of the long street. His whole body seemed to be bathed in a faint silver light, and he walked step by step to Shuang Lan'er's pharmacy at the west corner.

Shuang Lan'er hadn't closed yet, and the heavy door panels were still set aside.She lowered her head and carefully sorted out the books in her hand.Today's business is very good, and I have received two big orders.In fact, since she took over the shop, she has not found it easy. The monthly rent of 100 taels a month is not so easy to earn.It is far from enough for her to wait for customers to come to her door, so she is thinking about going out to find some regular big merchants to get goods tomorrow.

The candlelight was faint, and Shuang Lan'er's slender fingers were flicking on the abacus beads, and the bean-like light projected her thin figure on the cold wall, making her even more lonely.After a long time, she finally stopped what she was doing and let out a long sigh of relief.When she looked up, she saw a magnified handsome face in front of the counter. She was unprepared, and she was shocked.

Long Teng bent over and lay on the counter, staring straight at Shuang Lan'er with a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, his eyes did not move for a moment.

Shuang Lan'er rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Long Teng! Why don't you make a sound when you're here, it's really scary at night."

At this moment, Long Teng took the dim sum he had been carrying in his hand to the counter, and his voice sounded aggrieved: "Shuangshuang, I've been here for a long time, and a living man has been standing in front of you, and he's still such a handsome man. You didn't realize, hey, it really hurt my self-esteem." He pretended to kick the corner of the counter, and the wooden board made a "creaking" sound, "Did you hear, this is the sound of my heart breaking."

Shuang Lan'er didn't even look at him, "Come on less."

Long Teng quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, I brought you delicious flower cakes. I'm afraid you have been in Hongzhou for so long, and you haven't had time to taste the specialties here." He said, opening the oiled paper wrap layer by layer , took out a piece of flower cake and handed it to her, "Look at how busy you are, you can never finish things, so why work so hard."

What he handed over was baked slightly browned cakes, exuding bursts of tempting aromas, just looking at them made one want to eat.Shuang Lan'er only ate a few mouthfuls of noodles for dinner, and has been busy until now, and she is really hungry at this time.She took it, took a bite, it was neither greasy nor sweet, it was actually stuffed with flower petal honey, the fragrance filled her mouth, and her lips and teeth were salivating.

"Is it delicious?" Long Teng asked with a smile.

"En." After eating one piece, Shuang Lan'er picked up another piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Long Teng sighed softly, with a smile on his lips, "Come on, eat slowly, be careful not to choke." After finishing speaking, he turned around and poured a cup of tea for Shuang Lan'er, and gently wiped away the crumbs left on the corner of her mouth .

"Lan'er! Look what I bought!" Linglong jumped into the shop, and when she saw the warm scene in front of her, she stood there in a daze, motionless.Embarrassment floated on her face, neither advancing nor retreating.

Long Teng put one hand on Shuang Lan'er's lips. When he saw Linglong coming, he didn't shy away from it. He stood up gracefully and smoothed the long hair that was hanging on Shuang Lan'er's chest behind her ears. His eyes only stayed on Shuang Lan'er. , softly said: "Go to bed early, don't tire yourself out." After speaking, he tilted his head, smiled at Linglong, and immediately lifted up his robe and walked to the backyard.

Shuang Lan'er watched Long Teng's slender back disappear into the night.Puzzled in her heart, she thought that Long Teng liked beautiful women and always liked to flirt with her when he had nothing to do, and Linglong was superior in both appearance and figure, but she didn't know why Long Teng was always courteous and courteous to Linglong, and never acted so frivolously and carelessly towards herself.Could it be that he only loves to tease her?
Thinking of this, she looked at Linglong, only to see that Linglong's brows were filled with sadness, and her expression was ethereal.She called softly, "Linglong?"

Linglong snapped back to her senses, forced a smile, "It turns out that Young Master Long is also here, and I wanted to ask him to eat sauced duck together, but unfortunately he left in a hurry. Hey, I finally got it, Shuntai Restaurant Sauce Duck It is very famous, if it is not for the removal of a table tonight, it will not be available on weekdays."

Shuang Lan'er looked towards the backyard, and explained for Long Teng: "Maybe he's been tired for the past two days and wants to rest early. I don't know what he's busy with, and he never sees anyone during the day."

Linglong's bright eyes dimmed, and she said sadly: "He said he didn't like staying in an inn. I persuaded my father to vacate a garden in the mansion, thinking he would like it, but he said he didn't like to be restrained. It seems that he only wants to stay in the hotel. The backyard of your shop."

Shuang Lan'er's face froze. Someone welcomed Long Teng, but she couldn't drive him away. The backyard was originally piled with goods, so it took her a lot of effort to help him clean out half of the wing.She couldn't figure out why he would rather sleep with medicinal materials than live in a hotel, and even pretended to let her be a landlord to repay his past kindness.Seriously, if he hadn't saved her, if it wasn't for a side door in the backyard that didn't seem to be connected to the shop, if she hadn't been sleeping in the attic of the shop, she definitely wouldn't entertain him, after all, men and women can't get along , How can we live in the same room.

After a moment of ecstasy, Shuang Lan'er remembered that she hadn't greeted Linglong yet. She smiled and took the sauced duck sent by Linglong, and pointed to the flower cakes on the counter, "Why don't we go to the attic to eat together? I’m so hungry, I’m really lucky tonight.”

Linglong looked at the opened oil-paper bag. This is Yuan Sheng Ji's flower cake. You can't buy it with money. You can only make two baskets a day. If you want to buy it, you have to wait in line for at least half a day. When the business is the best, people in line People walk from the street to the end of the street. This is a unique folk snack in Hongzhou that has been passed down for hundreds of years.Shuang Lan'er was busy with business all day long, so it was impossible to queue up, and the person who sent it would only be - Long Teng!
Seeing Linglong's dazed expression, Shuang Lan'er asked again: "What's the matter? You seem a little strange tonight. Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to ask you yet. You sneaked to Luzhou, did your father scold you?"

Linglong took a deep breath and smiled unnaturally, "Lan'er, I won't eat. I want to go back early and promise my father that I won't run around."

"Oh, that's good." Shuang Lan'er felt a little regretful, "It's a pity, there are so many delicious foods."

Linglong smiled, and when she walked to the door, she turned around suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, "Lan'er, are you free tomorrow? I want to talk to you alone."

Shuang Lan'er lowered her head and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, I've been busy since I came back, so I didn't take care of you. In this way, I'll find time tomorrow afternoon."

Linglong pulled her lips and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for you in the suburb of Meishan."

"En." Shuang Lan'er waved her hand off with a smile.

When Linglong was far away, Shuang Lan'er arranged the door panels of the shop one by one, and finally locked the iron lock.Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching behind him.In this room, besides her is Long Teng, what is he doing now?
As soon as she turned around, before she could speak, a black cloth fell from the sky, and her eyes were immediately enveloped in darkness, and there were bursts of strong masculine breath from the black cloth.This smell is very familiar.

Shuang Lan'er was puzzled, and quickly tore off the thing that covered her head. It turned out to be a man's long gown. She couldn't help being furious. This was clearly the clothes Long Teng wore when he entered the door just now, but at this moment, this hateful person threw it on her. on the head.Raising her eyes angrily, she clenched the clothes in her hands tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Long Teng, what do you mean?"

There was an extremely shameless smile on Long Teng's face, "Oh, the cuff is scratched, please help me mend it."

Shuang Lan'er's beautiful eyes were full of disbelief, she almost shouted, "Why!"

Long Teng was only wearing unlined clothes at this time, he pulled the thin clothes on his chest, he seemed a little cold, his voice was extremely aggrieved, "Shuangshuang, I didn't expect it to be cold so quickly, I only brought one piece of thick clothes with me, Unfortunately, it broke again today."

"That's none of my business, I'm not your mother!"

Long Teng's long and narrow phoenix eyes blinked lightly under the candlelight, and his expression became more innocent, "You know, now I am alone in Luzhou, and I don't have any relatives by my side. It's very pitiful that no one cares about me. Look, I At this age, I don't have a daughter-in-law or anything, or..."

Before finishing speaking, Shuang Lan'er interrupted fiercely, "Enough!"

Long Teng's voice dragged on for a long time, "Shuangshuang——"

Shuang Lan'er rolled her eyes, "You don't need to say any more. Can you count me as unlucky? I'll give it to you tomorrow morning!" After finishing speaking, she hugged his clothes and ran up to the attic, ignoring him.If I hadn't interrupted him just now, maybe this person would say something that would make me mad.
