[Douluo/Sword Three] Tang Paper Umbrella
Chapter 174 "7" Bedtime Story
??
The teahouse was forced to close temporarily. Lu Xiaofeng had already left with Shangguan Danfeng. Meng Jiang watched as the mess in the room was gradually cleaned up, making it much emptier than before.
Tang San came over and held her hand back to the backyard, brushed her cheek with his palm, pushed the broken hair behind her ears, and tapped the corners of her pursed lips, "Why, are you still angry?"
"I suffered an unreasonable disaster for nothing. Aren't you angry if it's you?" Meng Jiang gritted his teeth, twisted around and got into Tang San's arms, hooking his hands around his neck, his angry look looked delicate and aggrieved, "Tell me , there are only four walls, one is a door, and there are big holes on the other three sides. Is this an attic or a pavilion?"
"And since I have been out of business for such a long time, how much less money will I make? I will lose a lot of money!"
Tang San couldn't help but laugh, he raised his hand and gently pinched the tip of her nose, "How come I didn't notice before, A'Jian, you are still a little money addict?"
"Money is not everything, nothing is impossible without money, and I don't mind having too much money." Meng Jiang raised his head and took Tang San's fingertips in his mouth and said vaguely, "Besides, life is so boring, of course I have to find something to do. Let’s do it.”
She leaned on Tang San's shoulder and blinked. She suddenly thought of something and raised her head suddenly. Tang San couldn't dodge and was hit on the chin by her. He wanted to speak, but he almost bit his tongue due to this sudden move. ,"hiss--"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Meng Jiang didn't feel much pain, but felt very sorry for Tang San's red chin. He stretched out his hand to help him rub the bumped area, and then kissed him, "Are you okay? Don't break it. Mutually."
"...Ajiang, is this all you care about?" Tang San couldn't help but feel depressed.
The girl smiled guiltily, holding the young man's shoulders and acting coquettishly, "I care about you the most. I was wrong. You must pay attention next time."
Tang San sighed helplessly, grabbed one of Meng Jiang's paws and squeezed it in his hand, "What did you do when you suddenly got up just now?"
"Oh." When he was reminded, Meng Jiang remembered, "I just wanted to say that while the teahouse can't open during this period, let's go make trouble! That Shangguan Danfeng is really interesting, with a piece of skin covering his face. He's lying to people, but unfortunately he can't hide it from me, I'm the ancestor of lying."
"I've already seen that it was disguise, you little liar, what's the point of being proud of being able to deceive people?" Tang San said angrily, "Are you going to cause trouble?"
"What do you mean by 'making trouble'? You really can't speak." Meng Jiang said dissatisfied, "I obviously can't bear my friends to be deceived, so I save them from danger."
"Okay, okay, let's go help them jump out of that fire pit." Tang San coaxed her, "We should also have what others have. Shangguan Danfeng originally had three bodyguards, why don't you bring Xiao Yi and Xiao Er with you?"
"No, this time it's just you and I, Xiaoyi and Xiaoer will stay to supervise the work. Three walls of the teahouse are broken, and the locked door looks like it's unlocked. They still have to stay to guard against thieves." Meng Jiang played with Tang San's hand Ponytail, remove the crown and braid his hair.
Tang San thought about it: "So my position this time is to be your bodyguard and thug?" He glanced sideways.
"Who said that? How could it be possible?" Meng Jiang smiled flatteringly, "Master of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to let you be a bodyguard and a thug? What a waste of resources, you are obviously so good-looking. Of course you are my dear It’s love~”
"That's really nice to say." Tang San was amused by her.
"I won't coax you, really." Meng Jiang nuzzled against his cheek, acting like a cat coquettishly.
If they say they want to cause trouble, they will cause trouble. Although the Tang Sect is entrenched in Shu, they also have their power in the Central Plains. It is not difficult to investigate the whereabouts of Shangguan Danfeng's ostentatious carriage filled with flowers.
Therefore, it was easy to appear quietly in Lu Xiaofeng's yard.
As the moon rises above the sky, the small courtyard that looks beautiful during the day also looks a little eerie at night.
In the dim room, Lu Xiaofeng heard light footsteps, and his heart suddenly beat very fast.
The footsteps stopped in front of his door.
There was no latch on the door, and Lu Xiaofeng guessed that someone would push the door open and enter soon.
But he guessed wrong.
The footsteps paused for a moment in front of his door, and then disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the sound of something hitting the door was heard. One after another, the thing hitting the door also made a "tacking" sound, adding a bit of horror to the dark night.
At the same time, Lu Xiaofeng heard the subtle sound of a leaf flute, playing a strange tune.
He took a deep breath, stood up from the bed, walked to the door, and opened it directly.
"Yo~" Meng Jiang sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and waved to him, while Tang San, sitting on the tree, dropped the leaves in his hands when he saw him coming out.
Next to Meng Jiang, Hua Manlou was sitting on the other side and smiled at him, "Lu Xiaofeng, I guess you didn't expect that the person who just walked in front of your door was Meng Jiang."
"I really didn't expect it." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, bent down to pick up the machine piggy from the ground and walked towards them, "I didn't expect it to be the one who knocked on the door."
"Who else could it be?" Meng Jiang narrowed his eyes, "A certain rude princess?"
"A Jiang, it seems rude for us to come uninvited." Tang San rolled down from the tree and chose the seat next to Meng Jiang. Naturally, Lu Xiaofeng had to sit in the empty seat between him and Hua Man Lou. .
"Extraordinary measures are used in extraordinary times." Meng Jiang said double standards as a matter of course, "I'm here to do good things, why don't you thank me."
"Do good things?" Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "What good things?"
So Meng Jiang asked him: "Are you unable to sleep?"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "It's true that I couldn't sleep, but I thought I would have a beautiful night."
"Don't worry, even if you don't wait for the person you want to wait for, tonight is still a beautiful night." The curvature of the corners of Meng Jiang's lips showed a bit of beauty against the cold moonlight, "Because, I'm here to You tell bedtime stories."
Tang San added: "When you finish listening to this story, you will definitely want to sleep, and you can't wait to sleep to death immediately. You will never wake up until the next morning."
Now, Huamanlou also became curious. He had long heard Meng Jiang's footsteps, but he didn't know why he was here, so he asked, "What kind of bedtime story is so magical?"
Meng Jiang lowered his voice, and the smile on his lips grew wider. His dark eyes seemed to suck in the moonlight, and a dark cloud floated over, blocking the full moon above everyone's heads.
Her voice was faint: "Have you ever heard of Ghost Painted Skin?"
"There was a young master who was suave, good at martial arts, and had a good reputation. One day, he met a beauty, who was in a miserable state. She cried so hard in front of him that she claimed to have encountered a robber and was running for her life. So the young master I couldn't bear it, so I expressed my willingness to protect her and drive away the robbers for her."
"The young master had good intentions, but who would have thought that this beauty was actually transformed by an evil spirit. He was deceived by this woman, but met a Taoist priest who was quite virtuous. When the Taoist priest saw that his hall was darkened, he knew that he was possessed by an evil spirit. He was haunted by ghosts, so he told him that he had encountered a ghost.”
"But the young master didn't believe it. He thought it was just a way for the Taoist priest to cheat money, so he didn't take it seriously. As time passed, he and the beauty gradually developed feelings for each other, and they got married to her."
"On the night of the wedding, which was supposed to be the wedding night, the young master was disemboweled by an evil spirit and his heart was ripped out. The evil spirit ate the young master's heart, stretched out his hand to peel off the beauty skin on his body, and dipped the young master's blood into his hands to protect the person in his hands. The skin is painted with bright red makeup.”
Meng Jiang told his story softly, covered his lips with his sleeves, and looked at Lu Xiaofeng sideways with a hint of coldness and teasing, "Master, I've finished telling my story. Do you want to rest on such a good night?" "
The voice was erratic, and Lu Xiaofeng shivered when she heard it, "This bedtime story is really not a bedtime story at all."
Old God Tang San said: "This story warns us that people cannot be deceived by beauty, lest they be harmed by evil spirits in human skin."
Hua Manlou suddenly said: "So the story you two came here to tell is false, but the warning is true."
"So the young master in the story is me, and the evil ghost in human skin is..." Lu Xiaofeng's voice was a little difficult. He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart and astute, otherwise he would not have solved so many cases.
"It's Shangguan Danfeng." Huamanlou helped Lu Xiaofeng add, "Or... it's someone disguised as Shangguan Danfeng."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Meng Jiang, how did you know?"
"I don't know." The girl blinked innocently, "Tang San saw it."
The Tang Sect's methods are secretive, and it makes sense if you can see the disguise.
Seeing Meng Jiang push the pot on his head, Tang San could only accept his fate and shoulder it, nodded and said, "I told A Jiang."
"Look, as soon as I found out that Shangguan Danfeng was disguised as someone else, I rushed over to kindly remind you. Is this a good thing?" Meng Jiang asked proudly.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded helplessly: "Yes."
Meng Jiang asked again: "After listening to this bedtime story, do you really want to sleep now?"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded again and replied: "Yes. I can't wait to fall asleep immediately, and I will never wake up until the next morning."
Tang San couldn't help but laugh. Lu Xiaofeng's answer was exactly the same as what he said just now.
Lu Xiaofeng added: "I also hope that no one will come to me tonight except you. When I return to the house later, I will lock all the doors and windows."
Hua Manlou nodded and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good way to solve the problem."
"Then you go back to bed quickly. Don't forget to close the windows and lock the door. Boys must protect themselves when they go out." Meng Jiang sincerely patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Tang San and I I have to go back. If you encounter anything later, you can come to us. Thanks to a certain fake princess, I have been very free recently."
Meng Jiang left quickly as usual when he came with Tang San, not forgetting to take away the trick piggy that was walking around on the stone table.
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou parted ways for a while. After returning to the house, he immediately closed the window and locked the door. Then he lay down on the bed and snored as soon as his head touched the pillow.
This prevented Shangguan Danfeng, who came shortly after, from entering, and there was no response when he knocked on the door. In the end, he had to leave reluctantly.
After Hua Manlou returned to the room, her mood became even heavier. Knowing that Shangguan Danfeng was disguised as a person, he couldn't help but think that he sometimes mistaken Shangguan Danfeng and Shangguan Feiyan for the same person. Without the misdirection of vision, his judgment of people was sharper. At first, he was unwilling to believe that he still loved Shangguan Feiyan in his heart, but now Huamanlou had to face this problem squarely.
But he has never been an indecisive person. After hearing the footsteps of Shangguan Danfeng who looked exactly like Shangguan Feiyan in front of Lu Xiaofeng's door, some wrong feelings in his heart finally began to dissipate, leaving only Qingming.
