a tavern

Tonight's Nine Star Poetry Club gathering was quite lively. Zhou Yuanfeng specially arranged for the gathering to be held at his home, and almost all the members of the Poetry Club were present.In addition, many new faces appeared.Once you inquire, you will know why.Today, the old man Zhou was actually the host, inviting many young talents in Jiuxing Town to gather together, drink wine, compose poems, and exchange ideas.

When it came to the banquet, Wen Yi and Zhou Yuanfeng had already arrived late, and the banquet was almost full.A bustling, lively but not noisy.When Zhou Yuanfeng, the young master of the Zhou Mansion, appeared, the table was quite quiet.Seeing a woman with a good-looking face behind her, the voice of the discussion gradually became louder, and Wen Yi clearly felt the curious gazes from around her.

"Grandpa, there is some delay on the way, we are late." Zhou Yuanfeng stepped forward and explained to the old lady Zhou who was in the main seat.Wen Yi took advantage of the situation and said a blessing, expressing his apology.

Old Mrs. Zhou was full of silver hair, energetic and staring at Wen Yi with shining eyes, stroking his beard from time to time, nodding and smiling, amiable: "It's okay, the banquet hasn't started yet, you should take your seats!" The two seats closest to him happened to be vacant, and it seemed that they had been reserved long ago.

Wen Yi's heart beats a little uneasy: It seems that today is not just a simple poetry meeting, but I don't know why?In fact, she guessed right, this time is a poetry club gathering, and it is also a small observation of Wen Yi by Zhou's parents.Fearing that Minghuang would be too embarrassing, he specially held a party.

The Zhou family is not a small family. If you want to be a daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, you have to have many requirements. At least you have to be talented and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, and have a clean family background.Zhou Yuanfeng stubbornly refused to leave and stayed in Jiuxing Town.The family members would naturally be surprised, and after a little pressing, Zhou Quan, who followed Zhou Yuanfeng all day long, poured beans out of a bamboo tube——clearly explained everything.

It is unforgivable and unacceptable for a girl from an ordinary family to be replaced by any powerful family in Beijing.But for the Zhou family, it was no less than a great happy event.It has been three or four years since Zhou Yuanfeng became crowned, and he has told him countless marriages, and he always picks his nose and eyes. To put it bluntly, he doesn't want to get married now.The eldest son in the family, spoiled since he was a child, forced him hard, and said he wanted to become a monk and become a monk, so he has not been married until now.

In fact, Zhou Yuanfeng's real preference is to imitate ancient celebrities, travel to famous mountains and rivers, and express his love for mountains and rivers.It's not "not interested in women" that the family suspects.Now that there is such a Wen Yi girl, it will make the Zhou family very happy.No, even the old man of the Zhou family, who never asked questions, came out to take charge of Zhou Yuanfeng.

With the arrival of Zhou Yuanfeng and the order of the old man Zhou, the banquet officially began... After a while, the toasts were mixed... After three rounds of drinking, the toasts and drinks during the banquet were almost done.After leaving a sentence of "Everyone is free", the old man Zhou left the table early, shaking his head from time to time: Sure enough, time is not forgiving, and it is really troublesome to hang out with a group of young people.

Mrs. Zhou left early, and the rest of the audience were mostly acquaintances who came to the gathering on a daily basis.The atmosphere suddenly became lively... Recite a poem, make a right match, guess a punch, drink a drink, make a drinking order, be unrestrained, have fun...

There is only one person. For her, the wine is as light as water, the food is tasteless, her mind is constantly wandering, her heart is restless, and she is worried about that person... But from time to time, she still has to bend over backwards to those who come to show her favor and talk. People greet each other with smiles."I just met Mr. Zhou by chance on the road" alone has been answered no less than ten times... A good banquet made Wen Yi physically and mentally exhausted and exhausted...

The red fire light shone on the face, and the tears on the face were slowly dried.It wasn't until the flames were extinguished and the dust settled that Wen Cheng felt less sad.

The picture turned around, and what appeared in front of Wen Cheng's eyes was: when he was a child, he was in his own restaurant.Arguing with my dad about learning how to cook, holding his hand and shaking it.But he accidentally touched the spoon in the pot, and splashed a few drops of hot oil onto Dad's elbow.In an instant, several blisters appeared.

There are guilt, grievances, sadness, mixed feelings, and a small face full of thoughts.Want to cry, feel unreasonable, obviously I am the one who made the mistake.But I really didn't do it on purpose, and I felt wronged, the child was stubborn, and I competed with myself.

Father Wen didn't say much, took a shower with cold water, and then took the ointment to apply.In the kitchen, this kind of thing is normal.Knife wounds and burns are almost commonplace for novices.Even if you are familiar with it, you will inevitably be negligent.Therefore, he didn't want his daughter to touch this, but he couldn't help her making trouble.

The weeping little expression made Father Wen angry and funny. With one hand wrapped in gauze, he bent over and said to Xiao Wencheng: "My dear daughter, Daddy will teach you a very powerful spell. From now on, no matter when, Cry out loud as long as you want to cry, and after crying, say a mantra "Go away when you are sad", repeat three times. All the sad, sad, and bad things will flow away with the tears!" As soon as the voice fell, just listen to "Wow... ", accompanied by Father Wen's hearty laughter resounded through the entire kitchen...

Father Wen could only think of such nonsense, and Wen Cheng firmly believed it.Afterwards, take three deep breaths without exhaling, and silently recite "no pain", "no pain", "no pain" three times in your heart, and the pain received on your body will be transferred... and so on, various three-time rules, constantly Self-suggestion, relieve bad emotions.

Father Wen's original intention was to let her develop an optimistic temperament first, and the real truth will be discussed later when she is older.It's a pity that before Xiaowen grew up, he drove west of Hexi first.Wen Cheng has been alone until now, with no one to get close to, let alone teach him, but the three-time suggestion method has become more and more proficient.

Of course, she knew that spells were for fooling children.But these methods are really effective, almost tried and tested.Gradually, Wen Cheng got used to all kinds of self-suggestions, and became her little magic weapon to regulate her emotions... In the end, she became an "emotionally insensitive" and "heartless" person...

Wen Cheng has always remembered Father Wen's words: Cry out your sadness and you will be fine.Sure enough, after crying a lot, although my heart was still a little stuffy, it was indeed much more comfortable.

But when I looked up, why was it getting dark?Wen Cheng was startled, and he didn't feel sad or upset.It was on fire just now, and I didn't notice it.Now...why do I feel like I have goosebumps...Wen Cheng hugged his arms tightly and started to run.It's a pity that I didn't go far, only heard a scream of "ah"...

Suddenly, for some reason, she panicked and jumped up, Wen Yi couldn't stay for a moment longer, she wanted to see the person who made her lose her mind.Before the banquet was over, he left in advance.Taking advantage of the moonlight on the [-]th, Wen Yi hurried back to the backyard of the Fugui Restaurant, and the house was completely dark.My heart sank: no matter how many nights before, there was a small oil lamp waiting in front of the window.

"It seems that I really hurt her this time!" Wen Yi felt uncomfortable, and knew the blow that his actions today had brought to Wen Cheng.But there is a saying in the military strategist that "put it to death and live later", if you don't do this, I am afraid that Ah Cheng will never be able to face her heart squarely.I regret it a bit, but I have to.

Pushing open the door of the middle hall, Wen Yi went to see the person she had been thinking about all night: Even if she was fast asleep, she still had to say "Happy Birthday" to her.It turned out that today was actually Wen Cheng's birthday, no wonder her reaction was so violent.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wen Yi tiptoed to the study and took a closer look.Unexpectedly, the quilts were neat and tidy, and there was no one on the bed.All of a sudden, Wen Yi became nervous, lit the oil lamp, and searched around the house: it was indeed not there.

It happened once, and it happened twice, Wen Yi was anxious and angry: Well, Wen Cheng, if I catch you this time, I will definitely tie you up firmly, and see if you still like to run around.People who disappear without making a sound are the worst. Have you never thought that people who are left behind without knowing anything will be worried, anxious, or flustered?Of course it was, but he was terribly worried in his heart.

At the same time, in a certain wilderness, moonlight poured through the branches.Wen Cheng, who was sitting on a boulder with his feet folded, was clutching a blade of grass tightly in his hand.He looked nervous and looked around from time to time, always feeling that there was something staring at him behind him.Drenched in sweat, surrounded by silence, but did not dare to make a sound, let go of his ankles, grabbed a handful of gravel in each hand, and held them tightly...

"A Yi, as long as you come, I will forgive you."..."A Yi, as long as you show up now, I swear, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."..."A Yi, why don't you come?"... ...Meditating on the Great ~ Fa opened, no wonder Wen Yi responded, she was the one who recited it...

Suddenly, feeling a chill behind his back, Wen Cheng slowly turned around...

Having said that, Wen Cheng's rule of three times is usually very effective, except for one, "I am not afraid", even if it is said [-] times, it will not work.She is especially afraid of the dark, so she usually lights a small oil lamp before going to bed, saves a good amount of oil, and it will be lit before she falls asleep.

Breathing lightly, Wen Yi forced himself to calm down and think carefully: Where can Wen Cheng go at this moment?

In the past few days, Wen Cheng has made explicit hints to Wen Yi many times: February [-]th is her birthday.One person's birthday and another person's memorial day are exactly the days when Wen Chengniang ~ personally made another person's life.So her idea is to let Wen Yi accompany her to Jiuxing Mountain to pay respects to her parents' tomb.It's enough for two people to have a simple meal of birthday noodles.

Thinking of this incident, Wen Yi roughly guessed where Wen Cheng was going.Wen Cheng's parents' clothes tomb, Wen Yi went there once when Wen Cheng visited the tomb during Chinese New Year, Wen Yi always remembers the way, and he can almost find it.Carrying a lantern and a fire bag, Wen Yi immediately went up the mountain to find someone...

In the middle of the night, on the barren hills, the road was rugged, and what sounded from time to time was the howling of the wind echoing in the valley.Even if a few people are traveling together, they will feel nervous.But Wen Yi seemed completely unaffected, her expression remained unchanged, and she walked in a hurry.

"If I remember correctly, there is still about one stick of incense left, and I will be able to reach the tomb of Ah Cheng's parents, and catch that worrying person." Wen Yi was so angry that his teeth itch, but thinking about it was wrong: "Ah Cheng She's so timid, so ignorant, how dare she stay here? Could it be that she made a mistake in her judgment due to her panic?" She wasn't afraid, but it didn't mean that coward wasn't afraid either.

In desperation, where is the mind to think slowly, maybe I made a mistake.Wen Yi's heart sank, and she walked faster, wanting to get to the tomb earlier to see what happened.If she wasn't there, she would have to look for it in the next place. Now she was really worried, afraid that something might happen to Wen Cheng.

After a while, they came to a place full of rocks.Suddenly, Wen Yi heard a heart-piercing shout not far ahead: "Come here, help!" It was fleeting.

Faintly heard a woman's voice, Wen Yi never believed in strange things.But in the middle of the night, who would come here?Still in danger?The sound just now seemed familiar.In a breath of time, Wen Yi clarified: besides that idiot Wen Cheng, who else?

What danger is she in?Wen Yi's heart keeps hanging: Beast?Robbed?Or the most unimaginable robbery ^_^ color?Even though she is dressed like a man, she looks good, with delicate features and tender skin. It is hard not to meet that poor (hungry) ferocious (not) extremely (eating) person.

Thinking of this, Wen Yi hurriedly made trumpets with his hands, and shouted loudly: "Ah Cheng, where are you? Wen Cheng, where are you?" His pace quickened instantly, and he started running in the forest, regardless of the sharp gravel...

At this moment, if someone wants to ask Wen Cheng the most beautiful voice she has ever heard in her life, she will not hesitate: "A Yi's life-saving voice." It was originally an instinctive reaction to being overly frightened. Who would have thought that someone would come, or read it by herself? Think about the sound of the night.Can't wait, echoed loudly: "I'm here, A Yi, I'm here..." Not daring to stop...

Wen Yi listened to the sound to identify the direction, clenched the lantern tightly in his hand, and after a few breaths, he touched the ground with his toes, and jumped up... Sure enough, it was not far away, no wonder at first he heard the sound very close, but he didn't see anyone. fell into a hole.

The hole opened downwards, and the surroundings were round and smooth. The lantern was close to the light, and it was really deep, as tall as two people.I saw Wen Cheng staring blankly at the person at the entrance of the cave, holding some gravel in his hand, sitting on a big rock, motionless.

Could it be that she was so frightened that she didn't scream or cry, which was completely out of her nature.The light of the fire moved down a little bit, so it was like this...Wen Yi didn't speak, picked up a small stone from the ground at the entrance of the cave, poured force with his middle finger and index finger, and threw it down with all his strength.

With the sound of "chi", the stone entered the flesh.Wen Cheng loosened his hands, and the gravel rolled to the ground.I saw her crying with a "wow", her hair was scattered, her face was ashamed, and she was tearful.That way, it is really sad to smell and cry to those who see it.Especially for Wen Yi, her heart aches.The lantern was placed at the entrance of the cave, regardless of it, and jumped down.

Hugging her, with snot and tears, she rubbed against the other person's clothes: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Wronged……

He hugged her into his arms, touched~touched her head, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Ah Cheng, don't be afraid, Ah Yi is here..." Why is this tone so coaxing to a child?That's right, crying like this, how can you still look like an older sister?Just a child who didn't grow up.It's this posture, which is a bit strange, the tall person is throwing himself in the arms of the short person and acting like a baby?

Holding Wen Yi in his arms, he cried for a long time, and finally cried out all the grievances, sadness, fear, and sadness in his heart. Wen Cheng was sobbing, raised a hand, rubbed his eyes, and wiped his face indiscriminately: "What are you doing here? ? Didn't you go to the poetry meeting of the young master of the Zhou family?" He was confused, and his head turned to one side unnaturally...

There was some sourness in the words.But he didn't have the courage to push away the embrace filled with the faint fragrance of jasmine, lusting after, sniffing lightly, and holding Wen Yi's clothes tightly with the other hand until his eyes met...

There were a bunch of weird thoughts in his mind, Wen Cheng couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to think any more.Right now, there seem to be more important things...

About to be melted by the soft moonlight, Ah Yi's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and his mouth slightly opened.Looking at myself tenderly, it's like a clear spring pouring into the bottom of my heart, like circles of colorful ripples on the surface of a lake under the setting sun.The beauty makes people want to get close, even if it is a moth to the flame.

In this situation, Wen Cheng's chaotic brain buzzed, no longer dull, his heart was bewitched, he raised his head, breathed nervously, and slowly moved forward... The air became a little hot, and the pair of beautiful eyes in front of him Gently closing, the rosy cheeks are the permission given by fate... No more hesitation, lips meet; next to the ear, there is the sound of jasmine blooming...
