Nine Thoughts

When the four of them returned home later, the courtyard was filled with the smell of Laba porridge.

An Dahai cheerfully took out a brazier, put it at the door of the house, and signaled Ling Wuqi to step over.

An Le smiled and said, "When did foster father become superstitious? Besides, brother Ling is only released on bail this time, maybe he will go back in two days."

"Bah, you kid, why don't you pick up something nice to say?" An Dahai also laughed, "I don't think Wuqi needs to go back this time."

"I think so."

I saw Lan Xuan's apprentice, the girl named Lan Lingling sitting at the stone table in the yard, cracking melon seeds, "What do you think, why did it take so long for such a big case of Da Nei's robbery to disturb Sheng Jia?" No one has come to interrogate you yet? Even if the Ministry of Punishment is shut down, Dongchang Jinyiwei should send someone here, why don't you think they come?"

"Why?" Ling Wuqi asked following his words.

He knew that since Lan Xuan became the "Magistrate's Wife", she was even less interested in dealing with educational affairs, and almost all the things in her hands were handed over to Lan Lingling, including the intelligence network. She must know a lot of news.

Lan Lingling said: "Because the emperor is about to burp, everyone is busy looking for new thighs to hug."

An Le said in surprise: "This is not nonsense, is the news reliable?" Lan Lingling said arrogantly: "If you don't believe it, let it go."

An Dahai hurriedly said: "Haha, don't talk about it, let's sit down and eat, oh, Xiao Le, you brought friends back? Then I will cook a vegetarian dish for the two masters?" Bandit B said: "It doesn't matter, uncle, we Don't avoid these things, as the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart, brother A, don't you think so?" Bandit A sighed: "Actually, I used to be a vegetarian, but these days, it's good to have something to eat, who wants to eat something? Choose, hey!" An Dahai said with a smile: "Then the two masters, hurry up and take your seats, Xiao Xiao, go and call your master."

Yang Xiaoxiao replied "Hey" and ran to the hut to the east to call Ling Qian.

At this time, Ling Wuqi found that the layout of the family was quite different.

Originally, An Dahai thought that An Le had grown up and should have some space of his own, so he divided An Mansion into two separate courtyards and lived separately from An Le.

Then Ling Wuqi came, and then Yang Xiaoxiao came, and then even Ling Qian lived there. It seemed a waste of space to divide the two courtyards abruptly. It was dismantled, and the Anfu was merged into the original big courtyard, and a few small rooms were rebuilt on the north and east sides. Now the big family is neat and lively, and it really has the fun of a big family. , even An Dahai has more space to hang sauced ducks, and the row of red oily ducks under the porch looks like red lanterns for the New Year.

After a while, An Le and An Dahai set up tables, chairs and meals in the courtyard, and greeted everyone to take their seats.

Eight people sat around an Eight Immortals table, enjoying a table of simple home-cooked dishes and hot Laba porridge.

Even a black-faced professional like Ling Wuqi couldn't help but smile, like a leaf of duckweed found a small harbor to lean on in this precarious and chaotic world, regardless of whether there will be lightning and thunder later, I only hope that I can seize the tranquility of this moment, and it will be enough to comfort the wind and dust.

"Grandpa, do you have any wine?" Lan Lingling asked, "How can you not drink on such a beautiful day?" An Hai said: "You are only a child, what kind of wine do you drink?"

Lan Lingling said: "After the new year, I will be fourteen. Oh, it's okay. Girls should practice drinking earlier, so that in the future, if you meet a bad guy who wants to get you drunk and take advantage of it, you will drink him to death. Xiaoxiao, do you think so?" Yang Xiaoxiao said, "Huh? Grandpa, can I drink it too?" An Dahai was hesitating, only to hear Ling Qian say: "Drink."

With more wine on the table, the dinner became more lively.

After they were full of wine and food, everyone still refused to leave the venue. They just sat around the table, kowtow melon seeds, and talked about some new experiences.

After all, Lan Lingling is a young man, her temperament is undecided, she gets excited after drinking, and she talks more, regardless of the origins of the two bald people who are eating, she simply shakes out all the things she knows: " Let me tell you, the fact that the emperor wants to burp is really not my fault. He has been ill for several months, and he has not been to the court for the past half month, and even the princes and ministers want to visit him. Tell me, is he sick and dying?" Bandit B said: "Could he be practicing in seclusion? These emperors and others all want to live forever, and what they practice is really evil."

"It's a dream of immortality. There are so many emperors in ancient times. Have you ever seen anyone who is immortal?" Lan Lingling changed the subject and said, "The magistrate of Zhou County in the next county killed hundreds of warriors who disobeyed the military ban. Have you all heard about it?" An Le said: "I have heard that there may be something hidden about this matter? How could there be so many warriors who resisted the order all of a sudden."

Lan Lingling sneered: "Master Zhou, he was in a daze and didn't have much to look forward to. His life as a county magistrate is probably coming to an end. Guess what? His wife died a few days ago, and the new wife died in the capital. A cousin, that cousin is a running dog under the eunuch's family. He heard the old eunuch say: "If you can kill more ignorant warriors, you can not only show the prestige of the heavenly family, but also relieve the hatred of the emperor. It should be considered a crime." achievements.'"

Bandit B said: "Girl, that's not right. Didn't you say that the emperor is dying and no one cares about him?" Lan Lingling said: "Are you stupid? Now the emperor is so sick that he can't see anyone, of course the eunuch Say what you say."

Bandit A said: "Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, aren't they afraid of rebellion?"

"It's forbidden to hold weapons, and it's forbidden to practice martial arts. After a few years, all of them have been tamed into lambs. Who will rebel?" Lan Lingling said, "Besides, rebellion must be bloody. You say that this world is fishing in troubled waters." Are there more insidious villains who take the opportunity to step on others to climb up, or are there more bloody men?"

"Fuck, yes! Insidious villain, fucking report the party!" Bandit B said and cursed again.

"Oh, kill it, kill it."

Lan Lingling sighed, "The next county will kill about a hundred people, and other places will kill tens of thousands more. Anyway, this year's bad harvest is not enough to eat. It would be better if more people died."

Ling Wuqi remained silent all this time, only felt that Lan Lingling deserved to be Lan Xuan's apprentice, and his words were just as harsh as his.

An Le finally couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Lingling, it's human life anyway, don't talk like a joke like this lightly."

Lan Lingling said: "Is it my child's play now? It's your court's child's play, okay?"

An Le choked, not knowing what to say.

Lan Lingling said again: "Besides, even if it is human life, is human life more noble than the life of pigs and dogs? I think people are not as good as the Gu I raised. Gu insects can kill each other at most, unlike human beings." And engage in conspiracies."

Bandit A heard the words and said: "Girl, your idea is quite similar to the idea of ​​'all beings are equal' in Buddhism. Yes, why is the life of a pig and a dog not as good as a human life?" Lan Lingling said: "Buddhism counts Fart, it’s hard to protect yourself at critical times, hey, do you want to join my Burning God Sect?” Bandit A hesitated and said, “But I’m devoted to Buddha.”

"Hey, you are so devout, don't eat sauced duck," Lan Lingling said, "You are a person with an empty heart, and you can't support yourself on your own. You need to have faith. If you believe like this, what is it not to believe?" Bandit A was startled and said, "Have you seen all this?" Bandit B asked, "Does your religious religion allow believers to marry each other?"

"If you want to get married, get married, if you want to get married, then get divorced, there are not so many rules," Lan Lingling waved his hands proudly, "and board and lodging are included!" Bandit Yi said happily: "Brother A, let's change our beliefs! "Ling Wuqi: ""
