Chapter 3

The sunshine outside climbed up lazily, Song Wuyi stretched his waist and slowly got up, he called Qingyun, but no one answered, the boy downstairs came up to deliver the meal, Song Wuyi told him to take it down, Eat downstairs by yourself.

Song Wuyi washed his face and put on his clothes. When he went downstairs, he leaned on the railing and watched for a while. There were people coming and going in the inn, wearing all kinds of clothes and with various expressions. I always like to watch it like this. It is always interesting to watch these people come and go.

He sat down in an inconspicuous place downstairs, after a while Qingyun came in from the door, Song Wuwu waved his hand, signaling him not to run upstairs.The child followed closely behind Qingyun, looking much cleaner than yesterday.

"My lord, I took him to find his family this morning, and I heard a lot about this little boy." Qing Yun sat down opposite Song Wuyi.

The little boy sat obediently next to Qingyun, Song Wuwu didn't let him eat, and he didn't dare to move, just stared at the dishes on the plate in a daze.Song Wuxin was still eating, and motioned Qingyun to continue.

"This boy's name is Abao. His mother was born in a gambling house and married a butcher. The butcher likes to drink and beats people when he is drunk. His mother often hangs out in the gambling shop, and it is not uncommon for her to stay out all night." Qing Yun said; "Yesterday In the evening, his mother was going to go out to gamble, so she locked him in the house. When she was hungry, she searched for something at home and found nothing, so she climbed over the wall and came out by herself. Do you remember the crazy woman last night? The person she tore up is His father, his father was drinking, and when he came out, he ran into this crazy woman"

"The neighbors said that this little boy often wandered alone in front of his house. His father always beat people when he came home, and he often heard crying in the middle of the night. When we saw him last night, I thought he was surprisingly obedient. See I was afraid of being beaten."

"No one wants such an obedient boy now." Song Wuwu said, adding vegetables to Qingyun's bowl, then looked at the boy next to him, and asked him to eat.

Song Wuyi chatted with Qingyun about the itinerary again.They haven't left the country yet, they have been going north, and they are still in Luoyubu. This is the shortest way to Liji. As long as they pass Pinglang Mountain in the north this afternoon, they can reach Liji before sunset.

After dinner, Qingyun packed up his things in the inn, and Song Wuyi took the boy for a walk. Song Wuyi walked so fast that the boy could barely keep up.

"Abao, you can't talk, can you?" Song Wuxin squatted down to meet his gaze.

The child's eyes were bright, but there was a small scar on his nose. Fortunately, his father didn't hit his face when he hit him.

The child blinked, looked at him, and squeezed out a thank you. Song Wuyi watched him take out two candies from his cuff, and put them in front of Song Wuxin's eyes like offering treasures. He took the candy wrapper and put it in the little boy's mouth, ate the remaining one by himself, and patted his head.

Song Wuxin originally wanted to give Qingyun a jade pendant here, but he thought he would have to wait a few days, so he gave up, and it would not be too late to call again in Liji.They continued to walk forward, Song Wuwu bought a lot of things along the way, afraid that the little boy would be hungry on the way and dare not speak.The little boy stopped after a few steps, and tugged at the corner of Song Wuwu's clothes, telling him to stop and wait.

He ran to the opposite school in two or three steps, looked in through the window, and the children in the window also looked at him. Song Wuwu looked at him, thinking that he should go to school at his age.The little boy came back without making Song Wuyi wait for a long time to take a look. Song Wuyi didn't speak, and led him to the inn.

When he went back, Qingyun was already waiting at the door, Song Wuxin asked him: "Where is that crazy woman?"

"I was afraid of scaring Xiaosi last night, so I put her in the woodshed by myself, but when I went to look for her today, she was gone."

Song Wuxin put the fan back in front of his chest: "Be careful recently, this crazy woman has an unusual background, and she is already dead, no matter who uses magic to resurrect her, it is not a good thing, and if the crazy woman is not Chong If she came after us, if she can be quietly transported away in the middle of the night, then we are very likely to be targeted, and neither of these two things will do us any good."

Qingyun responded, and squeezed the saber around his waist tightly.

The coachman had a rest all night, so they walked quickly today, they had already left the border, and they could see King Shen's Qingming Palace from a distance.Another carriage drove over from far behind, Song Wuyi opened the curtain and took a look, just as the carriage passed by, and there were two handsome men sitting in the opposite carriage, one of them happened to be looking at Song Wuyi.Song Wuyi blew a whistle to him, and the man looked like a scholar, cupped his fists and saluted Song Wuxin, their carriage fell behind.

Song Wuyi patted Qingyun's shoulder, Qingyun immediately understood, transformed into a big blue bird, the coachman watched from a distance below, opened his mouth wide, Song Wuyi sat on Qingniao's back, facing the carriage just now A long whistle was blown.Abao leaned on Qingyun's back, watching the clouds in the sky drift past his eyes.

Song Wuwu yelled against the wind, leaned against Qingyun's ear and said, "Qingyun, hurry up, we will arrive before that person"

Song Wuxin flew down from the palace wall with Abao in his arms, and was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he waited for the carriage outside the door, and Qingyun retracted his wings and stepped aside.

When the carriage drove over, two men got out of the carriage, one of them was wearing a blue shirt, smiling slightly, and there was no warmth in his eyes. After a while, it looked exactly the same as on the carriage.

"This is Mr. Song from Changqing Palace. I often hear my father say that Mr. Song is extremely intelligent. I am very happy to see you today." The man shook his fan on his chest, and was holding up his robe to pull Song Wuyi in together. Listening to the young master's whistle in the carriage is really powerful, can you teach me a lesson?"

"Seeing the young master's whole body attire, I feel that he is extraordinary, and he looks good." Song Wuyi smiled at him, thinking that this man is gentle and elegant, and he is easy to get along with. "I learned how to play the whistle from our boy, sir If you like it, I will teach you how to do it"

King Shen walked over from the front of the hall, Song Wuyi and several others bowed to him, they exchanged a few greetings, and then entered the hall, where incense was burning, and a large red python was coiled on a pillar in front of the hall , the red boa constrictor slid down from the pillar two or three times, turned into a barefoot man, and walked towards him.

The few people took their seats, and the man in the brown robe sat next to Song Wuyi, raised his wine glass and touched Song Wuyi, "Ling Zhaoling, son of King Muyan Fan" said, pointing to the people around him, "This This is my eldest brother, Lang Ruihe, "

Lang Ruihe cast his eyes here, and Song Wuwu raised his wine glass to him from the air, said a long sigh, and then drank it all in one gulp.Lang Ruihe smiled at him, he always had a feeling of keeping strangers away, compared with Lang Zhaoling, the difference was really too obvious.

King Shen laughed loudly in the hall, "All young masters are my brother's flesh and blood. Please come here to make up for the regret that we haven't seen each other for many years. Liji is a prosperous place, and you think about it here." Play as you want, eat as you want, I guarantee that you will have fun and eat happily." King Shen whispered a few words into the barefoot man's ear again: "Tang Jian, go and call the young master and get to know everyone."

The barefoot man led out a man from behind the curtain. Compared with his daughter, the man's beauty was not inferior. There was a small mole at the end of his eyes, and he smiled provocatively.

"I have the honor to meet all of you today in the year of my life in Shui. I have heard a lot of stories about you from my father. Today I can finally meet a real person. You live in the Qingming Palace. In the future, there will be opportunities to play together. I have little talent and little knowledge, so I don't know what you like. , if there is anything that is not well taken care of, I hope you will take care of it." Shui Shengnian paid homage to everyone one by one in front of the hall, and sat on the opposite table.

"Young master is beautiful and well-spoken, so why are you so mean?" Although Lang Ruihe said it to Shui Shengnian, it seemed that he was speaking to King Shen. He is indeed the eldest son and the head of the family. style.

After hearing this, Shui Shengnian smiled at Lang Ruihe from the opposite table, the arc of his eyes was very attractive.

"Shuodong's youngest daughter is the one who is beautiful. I think it will be here soon. I have already sent Daishen to pick her up. The mother of this youngest daughter is the most beautiful woman in Potuo, and the girl she gave birth to is also juicy. , everyone will see you in a while." King Shen smiled happily while holding his wine glass.

After a while, Dai Shen came to the main hall: "Your Highness, Shuo Dong's little daughter has arrived." King Shen said good, raised his hand to signal Dai Shen to sit down, and he stepped back, sitting opposite Shui Shengnian.

Song Wuyi looked at it with interest for a while, let Qingyun pour the wine, slid his finger on the rim of the cup in a circle, and looked up at the whole hall.

The decoration of the main hall is different from that of Changqing Palace. There are a lot of playthings here. There is a peacock at the entrance of the main hall. I don’t know if it is also a spirit beast like the red python. Walking around in their baskets, each of them has a strange fragrance. There are wind chimes hanging on the top of the hall, which will ring even if there is no wind. There are many patterns carved on the side walls, and the patterns on each brick are different. Even There are patterns on the floor.
