Inaoliangmou

Chapter 2

The sky is still twilight, and a golden glow rises from a piece of misty black ashes.The Yan'er in the corner of the eaves had not had time to go out for food in the future and come back to feed the newborn little ones, when they were shaken away from the nest by the loud sound of suona, gongs and drums.The mouse was so frightened that it quickly opened its black bean eyes, and with its four paws quickly, it sneaked to the gap in the door to check the situation.

I just came back late last night, and I was really exhausted. I had planned to sleep on it all day today, and go to the mountains to practice tomorrow.As a result, the mouse woke up from the sweet dream with its ears ripped off abruptly, and the mouse was very resentful.The nest I chose was nearly a hundred miles away from the center of the city, so why are there still such crap things to disturb his cleanliness.

On the spacious street outside, horseshoes burst out, stepping on the bluestone road quite crisply.The head of the tall horse was covered in snow-white, but the soles of its four feet were extremely black. Against the backdrop of the hatchback, it also had the feeling of white snow and dark clouds.Looking up, a tall figure in silver armor fell into the mouse's eyes.Sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, profile face as if cut by a sword, has a natural sense of sharpness, and thin lips and nose, really familiar.The mouse's eyes lit up, it was the old man who came back.

About ten years ago, the man on the horse was just a child who was not as tall as the table.At that time, the family budget was very tight, his father was relegated to a remote and desolate place by the late emperor in his early years, leaving the weak woman and children alone, living a life of extreme poverty in this dilapidated house.Sometimes I can’t even eat a proper meal, and the bottom of the gaped bowl is filled with bran pickled side dishes, and I just drink the porridge with no rice grains.

The mouse was young at that time, and he believed in the nonsense of the storyteller in the teahouse. He wanted to travel around the world to find the treasured place with the most immortal spirit in the legend. One day of practice there was equivalent to the results of a year of practice by other fairies.Looking at the past and present of the Rat Clan, except for one of the ancestors who ascended to the Twelve Immortals, there is no second one. Most of them only cultivate the ability of immortality at the end.But the little mouse was born with good talents, and he had already learned the method of immortality at a young age, so he thought of ascending to the immortals and going to the Heavenly Palace for a while.

As soon as the mouse settled in the city, it was late at night, and he was hungry and tired, so he had no choice but to sneak into this poor family.Seeing the scene at the dinner table the next day, I complained endlessly in my heart, thinking about sneaking away at night and finding a wealthy family to stay.Accidentally bumped into by a child, just in time for a face-to-face meeting, the mouse's four paws were stiff, staring at Heidou at a loss.The child moved, and the mouse instinctively wanted to run away quickly, but the child just took out half a steamed bun from his pocket and put it on the ground.

The voice is clean and clear that is unique to children, "little mouse, you eat, mother made me snacks, I couldn't eat any more, so I hid it."

The mouse knew well that this steamed bun might not be easy to get, but it was really hungry, so it carefully dragged it into the newly dug hole.Xu Shi was seen by this child. Since that day, he always put some food at the entrance of the cave for three meals a day.After coming down several times, the mouse no longer wanted to leave.Children are lonely, why not him?

It is said that "autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times", yellow leaves are flying around, leaving vacant branches, even wild geese go south to find warmth, how can he be willing to leave this place of goodwill?Everyone says that Xiaoen is a big newspaper, and the mouse has never been an ungrateful young man, and he is willing to repay it with his company.

Later, there was fire in July, Weiyang in August, and clothes in September.Several dead trees grow again in spring, flowers bloom and fall for several years, singing and dancing, wild geese flying south.The former child has grown into a handsome young man, and when the former emperor dies, the new emperor seizes power and usurps the throne, and replaces all the courtiers in one fell swoop, leaving a few highly respected veterans behind.After two palace examinations within one year, the old ministers were finally replaced. Prime Minister Shen was the number one in the first examination of that year. Without travel and promotion, he became the current prime minister admired by thousands of people overnight.

The new emperor investigated the previous exile case again, and finally did a good deed, rehabilitating this miserable family.Although the young man has no name and no brother, he was conferred a military post and sent to guard the frontier.The memory of the mouse is still fresh. That night, when the old mother packed her bags and was taken care of by the new maid, she turned off the lights early, went to bed and rested, and recharged her energy for the next day.But the young general Xu was a little disappointed, overjoyed, and reluctant to part with him. After all, it was the place where he was raised, the familiar barrenness, and the familiar moonlight.Carrying a jug of wine and sitting on a bamboo mat, the mouse sips and sips. The mouse climbs up to eat the peanuts of the wine with ease. If you are rich, you are rich. Even the peanuts are crunchier, and the mouse is very satisfied.

"Little mouse, would you like to leave with me?" The slightly tipsy teenager opened his thin lips, asking a ridiculous question.

The mouse shook its white beard, but didn't bother to squeak.Damn it, he's just a mouse after all, why leave?He had just traveled so far and rested here.In the hearts of the Rats, is there any definition of playing a family?It's just deceiving oneself and others. Once the food is cut off, or the safety is lost, he will be the most decisive one to leave.He thought so.

The next day the mouse woke up again, it was already daylight, and the building was empty, but none of the bulky objects left. It must have been too bulky, or...

The young general will come back.

That day, the mouse was having a hard time, as if his heart was being held by a cat's paws, fear, sadness, maybe both, but the deepest feeling was emptiness.

The paws are fast, carefully avoiding the crowds. In the past few days, I was so hungry that I turned into a human form again, and the general will recuperate. After such a wild run, I couldn't help panting.The mouse hid his body in the corner of the high wall and watched the man in silver armor fall off his horse. Behind him, a maid in the sedan chair supported the outstretched slender hand, and it was really not the old lady.The mouse's heart is sour. After all, time flies and people change.An old friend who used to be with him day and night married Mei Jiao Niang, but the kind-hearted and gentle woman in the past is no longer there.Wu Xuan is afraid that he has already forgotten himself.

Two vermilion city gates decorated with golden dots opened majestically, and Prime Minister Shen led a group of civil and military officials to line up to welcome them.

Wu Xuan stepped forward and said loudly: "Your official, Wu Xuan, is ordered to return to Beijing."

At that time, Prime Minister Chen remained silent, whether intentionally or not, Ren Wuxuan knelt down, and there was some commotion in the crowd.The officials behind the prime minister just lowered their heads even more and remained silent.The mouse hiding in the corner wanted to jump forward and bite him twice, it was getting more and more confused about this man, and it didn't show up in the mansion, such a bad image of bullying others.

After making an appointment for a cup of tea, Shen Xiang's clear and cold voice came, "General Wu, you don't need to be too polite, please get up." Although the words were polite, the mouse could see clearly that the man had everything in his eyes and face. It looks like a three-foot-frozen ice cube.He couldn't help shivering, he remembered the words he had heard with his own ears during those few days of eating and drinking.

"It is said that this Houlu is raising a group of wolves, tigers and leopards. Look, this one has only been in office for a few months? He dragged his teacher into prison. For an ordinary person, who can be so heartless? Do you want to control me? I can't." Outside the beautifully carved ebony window, a mother-in-law whispered.

The other person hurriedly lowered his voice to stop her, "Hush! Keep your voice down, if you accidentally hear it, your life will be lost."

The two turned off their voices, and the sound of their footsteps gradually faded away. In the small courtyard, the spring was still there, and the flowers and butterflies danced with the new sun.In front of the wooden cage, Shen Ling propped her chin up to feed the mice, she could clearly hear the discussion just now, but her face was as calm as water, as if what they were talking about was just someone else.

After that, the mouse never saw the long-tongued woman again, and not only that.Outside the prime minister's mansion, the common people all know that Prime Minister Shen has a weird temper, and he dismissed all the servants once.Since then, the profound blue bricks have cut off all suspicion, and no one knows what happened or what is happening in the prime minister's mansion.

My mood turned, I don't know what that person said again, but the corners of his mouth never twitched.There was no impatience on his face, just counting the snow in the cold winter, which was not as warm as his face.

Wu Xuan helped his wife into the sedan chair, and then he jumped onto the tall horse.The gongs and drums were played again, and the people on both sides of the street became noisy again.In the eyes of the mouse's pair of perfectly born black beans, the back view of the only one left was obviously an extremely lively atmosphere, which was especially out of place.It was the cold arrogance that it couldn't melt into.The wind blows gently, and with the pace, the clothes flutter.That smear of purple hurt the mouse's eyes, as if something was tugging at his heart.

Perhaps it was his muttering to himself that day, "Maybe, I shouldn't have come."

The sound of the mother-in-law’s footsteps has long since disappeared in the corridor of the small courtyard. The mouse forgot to stretch out its paw to catch the peanut twirled by his fingertips, and the man forgot to take it back, too. Hidden fatigue.

The author has something to say: I am not very clear about official positions, so if there are mistakes, I hope everyone can point them out
