Waking of Insects, Lightning and Thunder.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the corridor, causing the fat leaves of plantains to shake, making them look like black shadows.The corridor is winding and full of vermilion, facing the water on one side and winding around the courtyard on the other.On a rainy night in spring, the third watch has passed, and there is no servant woman in sight.

At the end of the corridor was a gloomy hut that was seldom visited.There was a little light in the hut through the screen window, but there were two silhouettes of a man and a woman cuddling together. The woman sighed softly and said quietly, "I'm afraid that we will never meet in this life." But the man hurriedly said: "No. Yes! The matter has not reached the point of no return, you know, I am the one who wants you!" The woman seemed to be comforted, and slowly caressed the man's cheek with a pair of jade hands, but she was speechless.Both of them sighed lightly, but amidst the sound of thunder and rain, this sigh was like a silent fallen leaf in late autumn, completely silent...

Qingfeng Town has been extremely lively these two days.

Qingfeng Town was originally just an unknown town at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, with a population of only a hundred households, most of them were farmers, and some strong people went to the mountains to hunt in the wild to collect precious herbs.Ten years ago, Xia Houxing, a well-known genius doctor in martial arts, traveled here and lamented the beautiful scenery and excellent herbs, so he built Guiyun Villa on the mountain. He usually treats people or goes to the mountain to collect herbs. day.

All kinds of intractable diseases of martial arts figures were sent to Guiyun Villa. I don’t know how many of them were cured. I only know that because of the remoteness of the villa, the rugged roads, and the difficulty of traveling by horses and horses, the dying patients died before reaching the villa. Not a few.Many martial arts people complained secretly that Mr. Xiahou's medical skills are good, but his temper is weird. He obviously wants to build the villa in such a remote place. Isn't this intentional to embarrass the patients?It is said that the old man heard these gossips, he just blew his beard and said "Will love come?" He stayed in the mountains for three full months before returning to the villa, waiting for the death of two people who came to seek medical treatment The patient, since then, the martial arts has only boasted that Mr. Xiahou's medical skills are supernatural powers, he can bring the dead back to life, and he has become a living Bodhisattva in the world.

There is only one inn in Qingfeng Town, but now it is filled with all sorts of strange martial artists, there are monks with bald heads and lameness, there are tightly bound beards with western accents, and there are beggars who are all in tatters. There was a young man with a bird on his shoulder. Xiao Er accidentally bumped into the bird while delivering food. The bird actually said, "Which one doesn't have eyes?" There are a few beautiful girls who are just female guests, not like a good family.Seeing the proprietress and Xiao Er trembling with fear.But it seems that the people who come are all customers, it should be said that the people who come are trying their best to entertain for the sake of money.

Xiao Er had just delivered a pot of white-cut beef to a table of guests who seemed to be dressed a little more normally, but heard a guest say: "There is only one inn to go back and forth in this shabby place, luckily you came early, otherwise there would be no floor. "

Another guest said: "Who dares not to come to Guiyun Villa for a happy event? In the future, if you get sick or get injured, you can still survive. Let alone laying the floor, what's the point of hanging on a tree and sleeping for two days? Wulin people, what are you afraid of!"

Everyone agreed for a while, and the man said: "There are so many happy events recently. In two days, General Shence is going to marry the Queen's sister. The Holy Majesty said that he will make a big fuss. Let the whole world celebrate. To marry a bride. But what is the origin of the bride that Shaozhuang of Guiyun Villa mainly married this time?"

The guest at the head of the table was a little older, stroked his beard and said, "Miraculous doctor Xiahou has two sons and a daughter, and the one who married his wife this time is the eldest son Xiahou Baiying. Mr. Xiahou has been a doctor for generations. When he was young, he liked to dance with guns and sticks." , It is said that there was a romantic trip to Penglai. After returning, not only his martial arts improved greatly, but also his medical skills. Do not seek to kill the enemy, but seek the harmony between man and nature. It is said that those who have practiced this method will live a long life. The old man has a strange personality, and his son and daughter have taught medical skills and martial arts together. He only said that he wanted to choose the best qualified to inherit the villa. But the eldest son is the most talented, seeing that after marriage, he will be in charge of the villa. This time the bride is also chosen from thousands of people. It is said that Xiahou Baiying is tall and handsome, much more elegant than his old man, and has a pair of masters In the past few years, most of the patients have been favored by him. They are good husbands that no number of girls can ask for. A few years ago, seeing the old man pick Xiahou Baiying to inherit the mantle, there was an endless stream of suitors. Many officials of the imperial court also wanted to marry their daughters, so that they could get a taste of the fairy doctor. In the end, the old man chose the daughter of the Suyaowang family in the south of the Yangtze River after thousands of choices. The Su family also practiced medicine for generations. She is particularly proficient in pharmacology, and this girl from the Su family has also been exposed to pharmacology since she was a child, and she began to follow the medicine king when she was ten years old, which is a match made in heaven."

The guest who asked the question listened with great interest, especially dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice: "Then Xiahou Baiying is unparalleled, but I don't know if this girl from the Su family is worthy of her looks or is she without salt?

The leading guest gave him a glare: "King Su Yao was called the Sage Pan An when he was young. He is a famous handsome man. He has no son, but only two daughters. The martial arts people in the south of the Yangtze River compare them to Er Qiao. This time the eldest daughter, Su Ranran, will be married."

"In terms of stunning beauty, is it comparable to Mrs. Xiahou?" the guest who asked the question teased.

The leading guest looked around and saw those beautiful and lonely girls, and made a silent gesture.Mr. Xiahou’s original partner passed away shortly after giving birth to his second son and a daughter. The old man went to Yizhou to buy medicinal materials a few years ago. By chance, he met the oiran lady from Xifang of Yunshangfang. She was shocked and married to Guiyun. Lady of the Hill.Yunshangfang is a well-known music workshop. It has branches in Kyoto, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Quanzhou. The girls in it are all outstanding in appearance and talent. I don't want this old man Xiahou to have such a good fortune when he is old.I think the girls in this inn are old acquaintances of Mrs. Xiahou, so they came to congratulate her.It's just that Mrs. Xiahou doesn't care about the humble backgrounds of the women in the music workshop, but it's inappropriate for people in the world to talk about Mrs. Xiahou's old stories.In the midst of embarrassment, the guest who spoke at the beginning said: "I heard that Mr. Xiahou adopted a bearded girl as a foster daughter a few years ago. The ones I have seen are all stunning."

"Heh, this Guiyun Villa is full of beauties like clouds, which makes people really envious." The people next to him couldn't help being envious.

The leading guest said: "That's the daughter of the old man's old friend. The old man has a lot of friends. It is said that this girl is from Sogdia. She lost her father when she was young. The old man took pity on her and adopted her as a foster daughter. After all, Mrs. Xiahou was born in a music workshop, and she is not good. Housekeeping, it is said that this woman presides over the housekeeping."

The guest next to him became interested: "Sogdian? I haven't seen the appearance of a barbarian."

The leading guest sighed: "I think that when the Great Zhou was in its heyday, all nations came to court, not to mention the Sogdians, even the Uighurs, Xianbei people, and Silla people also kept coming and going. It's just that the fortunes of the country are now in decline, not the same as before. grand occasion."

The people at that table were listening intently, but there was a commotion at the door.
