The human body held in his hands has an excellent touch, and the white and round shoulders made him love him endlessly. He stroked them reluctantly, but in the end his hands gave up here and moved towards another dazzling place. .The man sat in his arms with his back facing him, the part that touched his chest was the man's bare back, the heat from his body pierced through his skin, making his heart hotter and hotter.His left hand gently stroked down from the man's shoulder, cautiously, as if the person in his arms was fragile and precious, the body touched by his left hand was flat as expected, but such a flat chest was His dream was not abrupt at all, and he seemed to have done it many times. He familiarly pinched the red cherry on the left side of the man, pressed and wiped it, and quietly lowered his right hand. When he was about to touch something, the man suddenly Turning his head, he gave himself a familiar smile.

Chen Yishui woke up suddenly, took a deep breath, and felt that his pants were sticky again. He lifted the quilt and saw that they were indeed wet.Chen Yishui frowned in annoyance, why did he dream about his junior brother again, and he did such strange things to his junior brother in his dream, could he be sick?Or is it because I have only seen the body of my junior brother?

Just as Chen Yishui was in a trance, there was a knock on the door, and then Shan Qiang's voice sounded outside the door, as gentle as the smile in Chen Yishui's dream. "Yishui, are you up yet? Mr. Yan and the others are coming today, so you should get up early too."

Chen Yishui hadn't woken up from the stupefaction yet, when he heard Shan Qiang's words, he subconsciously groaned, and he didn't remember until Shan Qiang's footsteps went away, as if Ye Shilan said yesterday that there are guests coming today.The master and his old friends get together every five years. It turns out that five years have passed since the last meeting. Speaking of which, he and Shan Qiang have lived together for nearly seven years. How can time pass so fast? Woolen cloth!Chen Yishui sighed, and quickly cleaned up the crimes left by him. Later, he would have to wash it secretly by himself.

There have been five gatherings like this, and each time a different person was the host. Compared with the Central Plains, it is a relatively safe and peaceful province and city, and Ye Shilan's old friends are also happy to come here to be quiet and quiet.Yesterday, Mr. Yan wrote to say that he would arrive around today, so Shan Qiang got up early in the morning to help Ye Shilan prepare for the reception.In fact, there is nothing too troublesome. The fruits and snacks for eating and drinking are prepared by the servants of Ye Zhai. The room where the guests live has already been cleaned when they come. What is Qiang, the only thing that Shan Qiang can use is to help Ye Shilan, his master, find something to show off, so that he can show off in front of old friends. Baby, but it made Ye Shilan envious for a long time.According to Ye Shilan, he wants to show those old boys that he also has treasures.

Shan Qiang watched Ye Shilan pick and choose among the pile of valuable antiques with embarrassment. Either she thought the porcelain was not old enough, or that the inkstone was not exquisite enough. Shan Qiang carefully looked at those porcelain inkstones. This porcelain is from a Song kiln. Is it not old enough?And this square inkstone, is it a high-quality Duan inkstone, isn't the workmanship exquisite enough?Shan Qiang carefully put back the Duan inkstone in her hand, and continued to tidy up the antiques that Ye Shilan detested.

"Master, what are you looking for?"

Ye Shilan stood up from the pile of antiques, patted the dust on her body, "Find something they don't have, and make them greedy."

Shan Qiang scanned the pile of things in the room, everything in the room was of great value, what they didn’t have, made them greedy, so it meant that those old men had these things, or in other words, these things What, those old men don't even look down on them?Shan Qiang stroked her forehead, and accompanied Ye Shilan to continue panning for gold in the waves.

After finally finding a seal, it finally met Ye Shilan's request a little bit, but from Ye Shilan's critical eyes, it was obvious that this seal was just not satisfactory.In order to prevent Ye Shilan from continuing to invest in treasure hunting, Shan Qiang had no choice but to pull Ye Shilan who was still about to turn around, and persuaded: "Master, it's getting late, if Mr. Yan comes later, you can go like this." See him, let's go back and tidy up first."

Ye Shilan also knew that if the old man saw her disheveled appearance, it would be another joke. It was a matter of image, so Ye Shilan resolutely went back to the room, leaving Shan Qiang, a poor child, dumbfounded to face the mess in the room.

Mr. Yan and his party arrived after Shan Qiang finally took care of himself. Compared with five years ago, this gentleman has not changed much, and he still looks elegant and amiable. It seems that people like them Neither is easy to get old.

Mr. Yan squinted his eyes, and took a sip of this year's new tea. It really had a pleasant fragrance, and the slightly sweet well water diluted the astringency of the new tea, leaving a lingering aftertaste.Mr. Yan smacked his lips and sighed: "Old Ye, it's still the most comfortable place here for you, you care for others leisurely."

Ye Shilan took a sip of tea proudly, and said with a smile: "You mean, the Land of Abundance is just joking, why, do you want to move here to be my company?"

Mr. Yan also smiled, but there was a bit of helplessness in the smile, "I really want to move here when you say it, our place is too messy, or else my little apprentice... Forget it, let's not mention him. "Mr. Yan waved his hand.

"What? Your little apprentice, let me think about it, is it the kid named Li Duan? What's wrong with him?" Shan Qiang felt that he could see gossip from the serious expression of his master.

"Do you still remember the Qingshi Layman's painting I took out last time? It's gone. This kid took it away," Ye Shilan showed a surprised expression when she heard this. Everyone knew that Lao Yan valued his little apprentice the most. , Who would have thought that this child would do such a thing? Isn't this self-destructive?Mr. Yan also saw the expressions of the people around him, and smiled wryly: "Actually, I don't blame this kid, but why didn't he tell his teacher and me about the difficult situation in his family, and he just did such a stupid thing."

Li Duan's family had an accident last year, and there was only one old mother and one younger sister left. Originally, life could continue to live in peace, but the house leaked in the night rain, and the old mother fell ill after the accident. , need to be raised with a lot of precious medicinal materials.Li Duan is a dutiful son, no matter what, he will not leave his sick old mother alone, but his meager income is not enough for such a money-burning disease, and his relatives who come to borrow money are just perfunctory. Life at home is also difficult. In such a chaotic era, lending money to an insecure person is tantamount to never returning. Although I sympathize with the child's experience, there is no one who borrows money.

As Mr. Yan's favorite disciple, Li Duan can naturally get close to the precious calligraphy and paintings at home. Li Duan went to the last party and knew how valuable the painting that his master bought from the street stall was. He thought together, I somehow decided to put my mind on that painting. Although I knew it was wrong to think so, the master was so kind to me, and I liked painting so much, but when I thought of my mother's emaciated appearance, I couldn't bear it. I have to find some excuses for myself. Anyway, the master didn't spend much to buy this painting, and the master passed by there that day because of himself. In fact, he doesn't like painting so much... Looking for an opportunity, Li Duan stole it. After showing the painting, taking advantage of the fact that everyone hadn't discovered it, he found a pawn shop and pawned the painting. When asked whether it should be pawned for death or current date, Li Duan gritted his teeth and pawned it for death, although Li Duan knew that the money the boss gave was far more than one percent of the value of the painting, but it was a lot, enough to cure his mother's illness.After Li Duan walked out of the pawn shop step by step, he took his old mother and younger sister and left home overnight. No one knew where he went, but the servants of the Yan family found two sticks on Li Duan's right hand in the warehouse. Fingers and a letter to Mr. Yan.

After listening to Mr. Yan's story, everyone looked a little dignified. Everyone here knows what the loss of two fingers on the right hand means to calligraphers and painters.This is Li Duan's punishment for himself.Mr. Yan's face was full of reproach and pity, not only regretting the child's betrayal of him and the lost famous painting, but also pitying the lost future of this beloved disciple. "It's also my fault that I didn't notice the strangeness of that child at that time. Although the money was quite a lot, it's not like I, Lao Yan, didn't have it. Alas, it's a pity for a child's future."

For a moment, no one in the room spoke, and the heaviness spread in the room. Shan Qiang wanted to break the atmosphere, and opened his mouth, but no words came out. What could he say? Facing life, every day Individual choices are different. If it were him, he would not know what kind of decision he would make at that time.

Fortunately, someone replaced Shan Qiang and broke the atmosphere in the room. An An's cheerful tone sounded outside the door. With the innocent energy of this young man, everyone in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Ye Shilan returned to smiling. Looking lovingly at An An who stepped into the door. "An'an, what are you yelling for? Come and see your Grandpa Yan soon."

An An secretly made a face at Shan Qiang, with a drawing board behind her back, and walked briskly towards Ye Shilan.An An twisted her hands behind her back, and greeted obediently: "Grandpa Yan." Chrysanthemum, cheerfully replied: "Okay, okay, your name is An An, right? How old is this year?"

"Back to Grandpa Yan, An An is ten years old this year."

Mr. Yan glanced at Ye Shilan, meaning when there was such a big child, old friends like them didn't know, it was really uninteresting.How could Ye Shilan not understand the meaning in that look, coughed, and quickly declared her innocence, "An An's surname is Ouyang."

Mr. Yan understood, and looked at An An with pity in his eyes, took An An's little hand, and patted An An's shoulder with his big hand comfortingly, and said lovingly: "An An, grandpa brought you a gift , do you want to go and have a look?"

Although An An was a smart child, he was only ten years old after all. When he heard that there was a gift, he immediately became elated. Seeing Ye Shilan nodding, he happily took the new Grandpa Yan to see the gift.Poor Mr. Yan, with an old bone, he still has to run in small steps with the child, "Slow down, don't worry."

Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui looked at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes. Chen Yishui was still blushing because of the dream he had last night, but Shan Qiang was thinking about something and didn't notice it. Maybe he didn't know if he noticed it. Why is this person blushing for some inexplicable reason?

What Shan Qiang was thinking at this time was that after calling An An for so many years, she didn't even know that An An's surname was Ouyang. Speaking of which, when Master brought An An in, there seemed to be an accident in the home of a big man named Ouyang in the country. It must be the descendant of that great man.Forget it, whether he is or not, An An grew up watching her grow up, and she will always be the beloved little sister of the three masters and apprentices.
