Traveling through the troubled world

Wan Tengbuli looked at the hall masters coldly, "When I first came back, I told you to take care of your subordinates and don't talk nonsense. It seems that you all regard my words as dispensable chatter Is it right? Shen Yu, find out the person you taught today, give him thirty lashes according to the building regulations, and drive him out of Wubei Building."

There is no emotion in the faint words, but it makes people feel chills down the spine, and there is a faint burst of anger between the lines.

Nie Kai swallowed his saliva twice, but still bravely asked: "Lord, isn't this punishment too severe? It's just a few gossips, there's no need..."

Wan Tengbuli glanced sideways at Nie Kai, who immediately fell silent.

"It's not that I haven't told you that this kind of thing happened, it only shows that your supervision is not effective, and your people are not obedient to discipline. If this is the case, they should be punished. Not only gossips, you hall masters can't escape the responsibility, Jingsi, you go there with Shenyu and find out which church the person who talks nonsense belongs to, the hall master will give you thirty lashes and a fine of 500 taels of silver."

500 taels is equivalent to a Hall Master's income for one year. If all the fines are paid, you will have to eat your money, otherwise you will only be able to eat dirt. Fortunately, Wan Tengbuli did not say to put up "no eating dirt" signs on the outside of all the courtyards.

"Since there is so much fined, there must be some other measures."

A voice with a smile suddenly sounded, and everyone looked at Zhang Wu'an who had just walked in.Nie Kai turned his head away with some guilt, after all, he just said bad things about him just now, and now he is very embarrassed to face this deity.I don't know if he heard what he said earlier.

Wan Tengbuli's eyes were gradually stained with a smile, "I'm back. Jingsi, bring in two more charcoal basins."

Ji Jingsi went to get the charcoal basin.Shen Yuwei patted the seat next to Wan Tengbu, as if to sweep away the dust that was not known to exist on it, and helped Zhang Wuan to sit down.After a while, Zhang Wu'an took off his thick sable fur cape after he warmed up slightly.This cloak was given to him by Wan Teng. It is pure sable fur, the whole body is black and shiny, and there is no trace of stray hair.

Inside, he wore a brocade jacket trimmed with thick white fox fur at the cuffs and neckline, and the patterns embroidered with silver thread were simple and gorgeous.

"You said other measures just now, do you think I have punished you well?" Wan Teng Buli asked with his head tilted.

Zhang Wuan smiled, his eyes sparkling, "Just now Hall Master Nie has been disrespectful to me, no matter whether the person who gossips about me behind his back is from Qingfeng Hall or not, he should be punished. The same fine is 500 taels of silver. Thirty lashes. This year's money was fined out. If there is no money, I don't know what else Nie can eat. I heard that people in places where there is a famine eat dirt. It can indeed relieve hunger and not kill people. Therefore, we should put up notices in the places where there are gardens in the building, and write "no food". I don't know if Hall Master Nie thinks that I have gone too far, saying that even the soil is not allowed to be eaten these days. No way out?"

The thing I was thinking about just now was pointed out by Zhang Wuan, what a coincidence that couldn't be more coincidental...

Everyone can tell that Zhang Wu'an is teasing Nie Kai on purpose, but at this time, no one said anything for Nie Kai, not only because he couldn't control his mouth at the beginning, but also because he saw that Zhang Wu'an must take revenge. No one wants to provoke him because of his personality.

"Okay, you guys continue talking about your stuff, I won't get involved, I'm tired, go back and rest." Putting on the cloak that had just been taken off again, Zhang Wu'an walked out alone.

Wan Teng didn't have the mood to continue the discussion, so he said that the new Manxue hall master would be selected directly according to the previous election method.

The several hall masters left, what was in their minds was not whether a new hall master would be born from their own hall, but hoped that the person caught by Kami Yuo would not be from their own hall.They don't even have to eat the soil...

Seeing that all the hall masters had left, Kamiyuo hadn't left yet.

Wan Cheng was not surprised, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Kamiyuo seemed to have hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind, and said slowly: "I know, maybe when Pavilion Master Shi said that he wanted to cut grass and roots, you must also be surprised why the Pavilion Master would be so ruthless. In fact, the previous Pavilion Master That’s not the case. I also heard from an old man in the opera pavilion that the owner of the pavilion used to be a very innocent and kind person. He was willing to help everyone, whether he knew him or not. But later, it was because he helped people trust others. Pavilion The master would be sold to that Jianghu man, suffered a lot, and was almost tortured to death. If the man hadn't been injured there in the early years and couldn't be humane, the pavilion master would have been...but it was also because of this, that man Some are perverted methods. After being betrayed and hurt by someone he trusts and experiencing such things, he will change his temperament greatly, no longer trust others, and be cruel to the enemy's methods. But in fact, he is only hurt too deeply. Use such extreme methods to protect yourself." Or to protect the people he cares about.The last sentence Shen Yuwei kept in his heart, some things can only be deeply felt if they are not separated from themselves.

Wan Teng was taken aback, "But before Wu'an said that the man from the rivers and lakes taught him Kung Fu..."

"Having been together for so long, you should have a better understanding of our pavilion master's personality. He can't tell others about the hardships he has experienced. He told me before that his kung fu was brought out of his mother's womb, and it was you Ask him now why he has martial arts, and his statement may not be consistent with what he said at the beginning. The owner of the pavilion has rarely treated people with sincerity over the years, but I think he does have some sincerity for the landlord. So no matter how others misunderstand, I hope the landlord will Don't misunderstand our Pavilion Master."

"I never thought he was a ruthless person." Wan Teng looked outside at the snow that fell at an unknown time, his eyes stretched in the ice whiteness, "compared to me, he is a very soft-hearted person."

After Shen Yuwei left, Wan Teng sat alone for a long time, watching the snow that was getting thicker and thicker outside, and finally put on his cloak and walked out.Before leaving, ask Ji Jingsi to order the kitchen to make two bowls of black sesame paste later, and bring them to Zhang Wuan's room.

Zhang Wu'an, who had been away for a long time, didn't rest after he came back. He just sat by the side of the bed, surrounded by the stove. He originally wanted to sit by the bed and watch the snow outside, but now it's windy and it's too cold there , he couldn't bear it physically.There was no warning that the heavy snow was falling all over the sky, and it was fortunate that he came back early, otherwise he would probably have to drink the bitter medicine soup for several days.

It's really sad to think about it, he is a snow lover, but now he can only sit on the edge of the bed and watch the snowflakes fall from a distance, and he can't see the snow outside, what a pity.Moreover, he seemed to be getting more and more afraid of the cold. He lit a charcoal basin in the house, and sat on the couch with a thick fur around him. When he got old, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the house in winter.

"Why are you so preoccupied?" Wan Teng stepped in, "You still open the door in such a cold day and want to see the doctor?"

Zhang Wuan ignored Wan Teng's teasing, and asked back: "You don't knock on the door when you come in, so it's your own room?"

"I knocked, but you were too engrossed to see the snow outside, so you didn't hear it. If you want to go out to see the snow, you can just wear that sable fur, it can resist the cold."

Zhang Wuan shook his head, "What about wearing a thick sable fur? I can't do anything, the most I can do is walk on the snow and listen to the creaking sound. I also want to build a snowman and make ice sculptures. You don't know, I'm an ice sculpture Good hand, when I was a child, I carved ice sculptures that were vivid and lifelike, but it's a pity that my hands can't touch the ice at all now."

Wan Teng shook his head and sighed, "In ancient times, beauties were so unlucky. God is always jealous of those talented people. This is nothing new."

Zhang Wuan snorted and said, "What kind of beauty is so unlucky? It's just that no one cares how long ugly people can live!"

"You don't have to be so extreme, just tell me what you want to do, and I will help you. If we cooperate, we may be able to make beautiful ice sculptures."

Zhang Wu'an took a look at Wan Qi Bu Li, but still looked disgusted, "Do you have that technique? It's rough, I guess I will give you a big piece of ice and let you knock a cube, and you can knock out a square or a circle. This is still optimistic, maybe you can break it in just two strokes. No matter how much I guide you, it won’t work if you don’t have skills.”

What he said was really merciless, Wan Tengbuli touched his nose and gave a wry smile.

"Then change to something simple. I'm fine with making a snowman. Although I never made one when I was a child, it should be much easier than ice sculptures, right? It's also easier to make a shape, and it won't break so easily. How about it? "

Wan Teng looked very sincere, and spoke very seriously, not like a joke.Zhang Wu'an thought for a while, and reluctantly agreed.

When the two came outside, Wan Teng found a large shovel and a small shovel, many tools, and with the assistance of internal force, a high snowdrift was quickly formed.Because Zhang Wuan said that it is not convenient to carve a snowman with two snowballs piled together, so it is better to make a big snowdrift.

On one side of the ice and snow, Zhang Wuan, who was dressed in black, was very conspicuous. He stood beside the snowdrift and pointed, while Wan Teng, who was tightly wearing a quilted brocade jacket, was busy under Zhang Wuan's guidance. Gradually, the snowman finally took shape.And it's still in human form, not that kind of fat and puffy form.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

Zhang Wu'an got a small carving knife from Wan Teng, and began to slowly carve the snowman's hairstyle and facial features.The exquisite eyebrows and eyes slowly emerged, and Zhang Wu'an himself was surprised when it was completed.He was just sculpting it casually, just thinking that his eyebrows and eyes should look as good as possible, but he didn't expect that...

Wan Teng blinked and smiled, "You carved me! I said the more you look at it, the more familiar it looks, haha!"

Zhang Wuan frowned and looked unhappy, "It was just a mistake."

"It just happened to be like me by mistake? Then this is also a kind of fate, don't you think so?"

Zhang Wu'an sighed, "If I say my biggest mistake, it's that I didn't see that Mingjian Villa and his party were designed by you on purpose."

The smile on Wan Teng's face gradually subsided, but he didn't say anything.
