Rebellious officials bow their heads

Green bamboos were planted on the inner and outer walls of one side of the courtyard, and the even and straight branches were clustered together, extending like a green shade, and the sunlight and the shadows of the bamboos fell on Xu Yan's face.

He withdrew his gaze from the door, lowered his head, stared at the bamboo bone in his hand, took the knife to cut it, put it down again after a while, got up and walked into the room.

In the room, Ye Liuzhou stumbled into the basket under the cabinet to find the robe he had changed last night, and found a bamboo tube of wine inside. He just turned around and walked forward when he bumped into the human wall in front of him unpreparedly. With a sound, he clutched his nose and fell to the ground, the bamboo tube rolling aside.

Xu Yan's deep voice sounded: "What are you doing in my room?"

Ye Liuzhou looked up to him, "No..."

But Xu Yan had already seen the bamboo tube of wine on the ground, and bent down to pick it up, "Zhou Yuan has started to treat your illness, and you still drink?"

"No, the wine in it has been drunk long ago, it's empty." Ye Liuzhou got up and sat down by the wooden desk.

Xu Yan flicked the cork away with his fingers, and it was really empty inside. He threw it out with his hands, "Then throw it away."

Ye Liuzhou hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't, it still smells like alcohol, I'll just rely on this to satisfy my hunger."

"It's too late, it's already thrown away."

"Then why didn't I hear the sound?" Ye Liuzhou tilted his head.

Xu Yan looked down at him, put the bamboo tube on the wooden table in front of the other party, and made a soft click, "You heard me."

Ye Liuzhou reached out his hand to touch the wine in the bamboo tube, frowned, hooked the red string tied to it and hung it around his waist.

"You have a place to live, don't stay in my room." Xu Yan said lightly.

"Ah." Ye Liuzhou pretended to be authentic, "I can't see."

As he spoke, he felt that the cloth strips tied in front of his eyes were a little loose after the fall just now, so he rearranged them with his backhand, but he missed the other end of the straps, and instead let his hair get entangled in the cloth strips.

Xu Yan was unmoved: "Don't let me throw you out."

Ye Liuzhou raised one corner of his mouth, remembering the time when he was in the inn, and said: "Throw me into the water? Your pond is in the front yard, and Mrs. Xu and Ah Zhong will definitely see me if you take me there. They will blame you for throwing an invisible patient into the water. Besides, I am still wearing your clothes, and the pond is full of mud, and it is not easy to wash when it is dirty."

Seemingly aware of the cold air emanating from the other party, Ye Liuzhou paused and lowered his voice: "In my room, the bedding is still damp."

Xu Yan sat opposite him quietly for a moment, then turned his face to the side and closed his eyes helplessly, sighing.

Ye Liuzhou tied the cloth strip behind his head for a long time, but Xu Yan said, "Come here."

He stopped, Xu Yan pulled his shoulders, and pulled out the hair wrapped in the cloth behind his back. That long hair covered Ye Liuzhou's back, like a black satin, and the tentacles were cold and slippery .

Xu Yan fastened the snow-white cloth for him.

With his back turned to Xu Yan, he raised his exposed eyebrows slantly toward his temples. He heard the other person's footsteps pushing away from the chair and walking outside, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Make an umbrella."

Ye Liuzhou lay under the window lazily basking in the sun. After a while, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve, but he didn't move, and murmured sleepily: "What's wrong?"

"It's me." Ah Zhong's voice sounded, he tilted his head and looked at Ye Liuzhou curiously, "Did Zhou Yuan heal your eyes? Why did you tie this on your eyes?"

"Well, there is medicine on it."

"Oh." Ah Zhong responded, "Do you want a drink of water? Do you want some pastries?"

Ye Liuzhou patted his head, "No need, I remember the teapot and fruit plate are there, are you coming to play with me?"

Ah Zhong said: "Originally I came to ask you to paint on the paper umbrella. By the way, tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival. Every household in our town will make umbrellas. At that time, there will be a lively celebration at the foot of the mountain. The sky is full of colorful umbrellas." Umbrellas and lanterns, it's a shame you can't see them."

Ye Liuzhou thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's a pity."

"Let me tell you." Ah Zhong sat down next to him, "My brother's paper umbrellas have already been made. In our place, the paper umbrellas are used to give to the people he likes. Only my brother makes a car of paper umbrellas." Umbrellas to sell."

Ye Liuzhou laughed, "Isn't your brother making umbrellas in the yard? Let him help you with Danqing."

"He's not making umbrellas."

"Ok?"

"He's drying the quilt." Ah Zhong said.

The sun shone on Ye Liuzhou's face, and the dazed smile was submerged in the hazy light.

One day passed, and the next day was the Qiqiao Festival. The atmosphere became lively early in the morning, with the sound of firecrackers one after another, and red confetti falling all over the floor.Mrs. Xu stayed at home because of her frailty. Xu Yan and Zhou Yuan were ready, but Ah Zhong pulled Ye Liuzhou who had just woken up and was unwilling to let go.

"Brother Ye, let's go together, I'll support you, you won't fall." Ah Zhong looked at him anxiously.

Ye Liuzhou kept yawning, "According to your nature of running around, how can you play with me?"

Ah Zhong also realized this, hesitated, and while holding Ye Liuzhou's hand, he looked back at Xu Yan and Zhou Yuan standing in front of the door.

Zhou Yuan spread out his folding fan and said, "Little devil, if you want to play, don't drag the patient along."

Ah Zhong angrily made a face at him.

Wearing a round-neck robe with sleeves, Xu Yan stood tall, with handsome eyes, and turned his gaze to Ye Liuzhou: "How about this, you follow me when Ah Zhong goes to play."

Before Ye Liuzhou could speak, Ah Zhong cheered immediately, and rushed him straight to the door. He jumped over the high threshold, but forgot that Ye Liuzhou stumbled on it behind him.

He couldn't see the threshold, he stumbled, his body tilted in the air, and when he was about to fall, someone's outstretched hand caught him by the back collar, and he stopped.

Xu Yan carried Ye Liuzhou, who had lingering fears, and put him beside the horse loaded with goods.

Ah Zhong turned around unconsciously: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud at this scene, and was about to say something when Mrs. Xu came from under a row of willow trees not far away. He immediately restrained his smile, and shook his fan gracefully.

Mrs. Xu walked up to her, and after a few words of caution, she took the food box from the maid, handed it to Ye Liuzhou, and said with a gentle smile, "I made some food for you. I'll eat it when I'm hungry on the way. There are many masters, you can't see, let Xu Yan take care of you more."

Ye Liuzhou nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Madam for your concern."

A group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain. As Ah Zhong said before, by the side of the green lake, there were several long red ropes stretched in mid-air, with all kinds of oil-paper umbrellas hanging upside down. The colors were bright and eye-catching at a glance. Delicate and fragmented objects, the grass grows and warblers fly, the crowd is bustling, shuttles, and laughs.
