Shanglin Night Snow

A ray of morning light came in through the window and fell on the cooling charcoal basin.

A figure flashed out of the drafty house, and he stepped forward to close the window tightly-the spring is cold, even if it is just a sliver of morning breeze, it can make people tremble unbearably, especially when the hangover is just waking up and there is no hangover.

With a heavy sigh, Guo Kai sat back in the corner and stroked his aching forehead. Not long after, he heard a slight kicking sound outside the window. Someone?I jumped up and opened the window to look around, but it's a pity that it's the same as before, the place I can see is empty, not even a ghost, let alone a person.However, the sky is getting brighter and brighter.

The charcoal has long been burned out, the house is getting colder and colder, but there is no one around, and borrowing a piece of clothing to cover the body is also a luxury.To go back, you have to go out and walk a hundred feet along the embankment behind the house, and you will reach the Suzaku Gate not far from the bridge.This road, not to mention the wind, cold and frost, Suzakumen is a bustling market with people coming and going, how can you go there naked in broad daylight?

The wind was blowing towards him, making Guo Kai even more desperate, he closed the door tremblingly and turned around, his eyes fell on the cold charcoal basin, after a little thought, he looked at the two bundles of straw in the corner, and his eyes suddenly brightened.After some tidying up, he went out with the charcoal basin.

It was still early, and in addition to the remote location, I walked along the embankment all the way to the bridge, but there was no sign of people.After crossing the bridge, the road ahead is open, and there are already pedestrians, but fortunately, they are all in a hurry, and have no time to pay attention to the ghostly figure flashing past in the bushes by the roadside.

Dodging along the way, he finally got into an ox cart carrying firewood when no one was prepared, and traveled a long way amidst the creaking noises. When the car stopped and the sound of people died away, he crawled out from the pile of firewood. Found in an alley.

The bullock cart was facing the back door of a family, and the door was ajar at the moment, and at first glance, he saw several dancing figures, which made Guo Kai shrink his head hurriedly, and pressed against the wall, not daring to vent his anger.However, after a long while, there was no movement inside the door, and thinking back on the shadow, it seemed to be a little lighter.Probe and look again, as expected-it's just a few clothes hanging on the pole.

There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!Step quickly into the courtyard and go straight to the clothesline.The clothes were still wet with hands, but he didn't care about that much, so he pulled off a pair of trousers and put them on his legs. He hurriedly heard a soft cry from behind, and when he turned his head, a flash of red and green flashed in front of his eyes, but he knew it was a figure. Guo Kai was startled. He was anxious to leave, but when he took a step, Clinker fell straight down——Damn it, he put a trouser leg on his legs!

The shattering sound of the cloth was mixed with the exclamation of the woman and the barking of the dog, and then a man's voice shouted angrily: "You thief, how dare you enter the hospital to steal in broad daylight!"

Guo Kai's mind was buzzing, a heart seemed to jump out of his throat.Kicking off the rags hanging from his legs, he jumped up and fled.

Randomly shuttling through the alleys, I don't know how long the sound of the dog ends.He stopped to take a breath, his ears were full of noise, he looked at the corner ahead, thinking that going out would be a busy city, he frowned for a moment.

There are people in the front, and dogs in the back, how about it?

After hesitating for a while, the sound of a dog came back behind him, accompanied by a faint human voice.Guo Kai gritted his teeth, lowered his head and adjusted the grass skirt around his waist, then put his head on the charcoal basin to cover his face, and quickly turned around the corner...

Fang Guomaozheng, the early morning twilight was not enough to dispel the thin layer of green mist surrounding the city.Outside Suzaku's gate, there is already an endless stream of horses and horses, and the flow of people is like weaving.

In the kitchen of Wu's meat pie shop at the gate of the city, the old man Wu stopped his work, blew out the candles on the desk, and then pushed open the window facing the street. He didn't expect to hear a "boom" in the next moment. The old man was startled and hurriedly probed to check. Look, but he was frightened into a cold sweat: there was a person sitting under the window, and there was still-a piece of clothes | not hung up!

It is Guo Kai.

Feeling dizzy, Guo Kai couldn't recover for a moment: he was carefully walking along the walls of the houses along the street, but fortunately he was familiar with the road and just looked at his feet, and it was fine.Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly opened the window, and he bumped headfirst into it, and immediately fell on his back.

The old man was worried that he was hurt, so he asked.Hearing the human voice, Guo Kai was startled, grabbed the charcoal basin and put it on top as if he had just woken up from a dream, got up and hurried away, leaving the old man in the window alone in a daze.

Surprised by this, Guo Kai panicked and did not choose his path. In addition to the movement just now, he attracted many eyes along the way, there was a lot of ridicule and abuse, and even a few boring idlers chased him with sticks, causing an uproar in the street.

Fortunately, Guo Kai didn't lose his mind, and he didn't lose the charcoal basin on top of his head until he died - the living skin of a tree with a living face, if it is lost below the neck, it will be lost, but if you keep this skin today, you can look forward to the future!

It can be considered that his luck is not exhausted, coupled with his extraordinary skills, he walks like flying all the way, and within two blocks he throws a bunch of rogues far away.Turning and turning again and again, he quickly disappeared into the winding and deep lonely alley without a trace.

After half an hour.

In the backyard of Guo’s family, a wealthy businessman in the capital, several peach trees are in full bloom against the wall.The rustling sound of the wind blowing the flowers and leaves is accompanied by the high and low magpies from far and near, adding a new vitality to the spring scenery in the garden.However, this peaceful image was broken by an exclamation from under the tree - a ball of powder rolled out of the flowers, and upon closer inspection, there were still hands and feet - it was a person!

"Help... catch the thief!" Fenqiu—oh no, the person in pink clothes shouted and fled, but he tripped and fell to the ground within two steps, panicked and moved the charcoal basin rolled to his hand behind him Throw it around, and after a muffled sound, everything returns to silence.Fenqiu was about to get up, but unexpectedly her throat tightened—it made someone cover her mouth and nose, and dragged her to the depths of the tree.

"You...what do you want to do?" The man squatting under the tree with his hands blindfolded and shaking into a ball looked more and more like a ball at this moment, "In broad daylight, you actually climbed over the wall naked and entered the courtyard to pick flowers. What's the law?" ——" Before he finished speaking, he was kicked hard on the buttocks, and he staggered to the ground.

"Picking flowers?!" An angry voice burst out from above his head, "Except for your mother and the two sixty-year-old bean flowers in her room, in this family, even the cat is male?"

"You... how do you know...?" Fenqiu was stunned, and then lost color: "You...you madman, you even have my mother's ideas!" In a moment of impatience, he forgot the situation, let go and opened his eyes, but he didn't want to See two bare legs!Heart skipped a beat, trembling like sifting chaff, but still stubborn: "Anyway, naked | naked | body jumped over the wall and entered the hospital, but said that he had no intention of robbery, who can believe it? Although my mother is jealous, there are only her and the two in the family. This sixtieth old servant girl has no daughters, but what if... what if you have feelings for me? Let me tell you, you can't do anything against me, I... I am the court consort!"

He heard a spat on the top of his head: "You also know that you are a son-in-law?" Another kick went up, or the force was too strong, and the pink ball fell into the flowers and gnawed his mouth full of mud. "It's your idea, I don't think it's unlucky enough?! But when it comes to this, don't say I didn't remind you," the voice above his head became even more angry, "From today onwards, whenever I see you wearing this face with heavy make-up You flaunt your way through the market like a wave flower, so don't blame me for breaking your leg!"

Fenqiu twitched, and finally realized something, spat out the grass clippings in his mouth, turned around, saw the face that was exactly the same as himself, and shrank his neck: "Big...Big Brother! It's you...how are you..."

"Finally sober after eating enough soil?" Guo Kai snorted coldly, and cast his blade-like eyes on his younger brother Guo Jian who annoyed him for no reason at first sight: "Take off your clothes!"

Fenqiu was startled, folded her hands on her chest with a look of horror: "This...why?"

A gust of wind blew, Guo Kai trembled, he didn't bother to explain, he stepped forward a few steps and picked up the man on the ground, amidst the ear-piercing wailing, he stripped off his clothes as if no one was there...

After a while.

There are two people walking side by side on the path in the garden lined with flowers, but they both look strange: one person in a green shirt and white trousers, walking barefoot, as if lying on a couch; An elongated ball), trembling, clasping his collar tightly with both hands, but if you take a longer step, you can see two bare legs exposed under the pink robe and green dress...

When the two of them left the backyard, Guo Jian paused and cautiously said, "Brother, you go back to your room and rest, I also have to go to the shop, so... I won't accompany you."

The elder brother said "um", and did not forget to tell: "Don't spread the matter of today!"

Guo Jian nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I won't even tell my parents!" After saying that, he left, went out a few steps and turned back, timidly: "By the way, you didn't show up early in the morning, and your parents thought you went to a banquet to gather friends last night. , lying drunk somewhere else, I have ordered my servants to look for it..."

Guo Kai turned his back, and his face turned from white to red: "Go and tell me that I was drunk last night and rested at a friend's place. I have returned now, but I have caught a cold and will be on leave for two days!" There was no movement, so I had to slow down my tone: "Don't think too much, I just met two thieves on the way home, and I tore my clothes during the fight." His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be really sick.

"Ah?" Guo Jian lost his voice: "But you are the commander of the Imperial Army (1)! What kind of thief can teach you to be like this..." He swallowed hard, and then swallowed the word "worry".

The elder brother flicked his sleeves, and his voice became sharp again: "Didn't you say you were hungover?"

Hearing the sound trembling, he knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, Guo Jian hurriedly escaped for his life.

The sound of footsteps faded away, and the person in the corridor stroked his aching temple and swung his fist at the pillar.

Alcoholic people are gallbladder, and if they miss a single thought, they will eventually shoot themselves in the foot.

If it wasn't for a mistake in the plan, it should be him, Shao Jingheng, who was humiliated by this naked parade in the morning!In the final analysis, he still blames himself for underestimating the enemy, thinking that he is suspicious, treacherous and cunning by nature, how could he be unguarded if he ordered someone to persuade him to drink so diligently last night?It must be that the woman persuading the wine to ask about the inside story later made a countermeasure and replaced the drugged wine, so that after three drinks, he no longer has any memory of the funeral...

Thinking of this, I felt a burst of tightness in my chest, and there was a sour smell in my throat. I hurriedly covered my mouth, calmed down for a while, and then felt better. I gritted my teeth secretly: Shao Jingheng, you are a traitor who steals the country, slanders my fame, and destroys my official career. To be humiliated by this naked parade.Guo will remember all the piles and piles in his heart, and in the future, he will pay them back ten times!

"Brother!" came a voice from one side.

Guo Kai turned his head impatiently, and saw a man in uniform behind him who had gone and returned—it was the deputy general of his army.

"Brother, no...it's not good!" Guo Jian panicked.

The deputy general stepped forward (2): "General, there is chaos in the palace, the infantry commander (3) has an order to order all the generals to order troops immediately, and enter the palace to serve the king!"

Startled, Guo Kai thought he was dreaming, he gritted his upper and lower teeth, the sharp pain on the tip of his tongue made him jump up suddenly: "What are you talking about? Say it again!"

The lieutenant paused every word: "The commander-in-chief ordered you to lead the troops immediately and enter the palace to serve the king!"

As soon as the words fell, Guo Xie leaned against the wall and bent over. After a few intermittent vomits, the smell of wine mixed with oily and sour smells spread around - the overnight wine in his stomach was not retained after all.
