soul shifting

In the always deserted hall of Huoyun Villa, today it was full of servants and coachmen who came to take the disciples home.

Because tomorrow and the next two days are holidays at the end of the month, the practice this afternoon ended early.All the disciples were busy packing their luggage in the room, ready to go home and play the film, only Qiu Ziyan stayed on the martial arts field to receive the punishment.

He stood upside down against the wall, his arms trembling like sifting chaff, the red forehead on his forehead itched him, but he couldn't scratch it with his hands; what was even more unbearable was that Shen An didn't The shape-shaped hall master was still scratching his nostrils with dogtail grass.

Qiu Ziyan was about to cry, sneezed loudly, and snorted: "Master Shen, you were not like this before... Please forgive me, my hand is almost broken."

Shen An raised her eyebrows: "What was I like before?"

Qiu Ziyan: "You have never been willing to punish us severely before."

Shen An: "The mistake you made this time is serious and cannot be forgiven lightly."

Qiu Ziyan had a bitter face, and really started to cry, and said angrily in his heart: "How can it be so serious? It is clearly your public revenge!"

——He was arrested today when he was gossip about Shen An.

This matter is neither serious nor serious. Just imagine that the little disciples in Yishan cannot go down the mountain after practicing for nearly a month. What else can they have fun besides chatting and gossip?But this matter is serious, because Qiu Ziyan is not talking about trivial matters such as "Master Shen doesn't take a bath for a month, picks his feet first and then eats his hands", but a heavy gossip: Han Xiuyu is the master of the hall. illegitimate child!

Shen An said that he "spread rumors and slander" and fined him to stand on his head for three hours. After all the other disciples left at night, he could pack his things and go home.Qiu Ziyan received the punishment, but he was not convinced at all, because he felt that his inference was well-founded, reasonable and reasonable, so he was not spreading rumors for no reason.

Qiu Ziyan first began to doubt Han Xiuyu's identity half a month ago, when Han Xiuyu just woke up.At that time, Shen An had someone invite a carpenter from Chiyuan Town to convert the single bed in his house into a spacious double bed, and let Han Xiuyu sleep with him.

Before Han Xiuyu was seriously ill, Hall Master Shen was worried about letting the maid take care of him, and took care of him himself. Qiu Ziyan thought it was the hall master who was careful, but now that Han Xiuyu has been cured by Elder Yao, why did Hall Master Shen let him go? He slept with him, and even changed to a double bed on purpose?Obviously, there are still so many vacant rooms in Huoyun Villa.

One day, when the maid led Han Xiuyu to the garden to bask in the sun, he happened to meet Qiu Ziyan.

Qiu Ziyan asked: "Xiu Yu, why do you want to live in the same house with Master Shen? Aren't there still many vacant rooms in Huoyun Villa?"

Han Xiuyu replied: "Uncle Shen is afraid that I will get sick at night and no one will take care of me."

This explanation made Qiu Ziyan inexplicably recall that every time he was sick and had a fever when he was a child, his parents would hug him to sleep on their bed and watch him all night.He wondered in his heart: "Couldn't Hall Master Shen let a maid take care of him? Do he have to come by himself? Isn't the relationship between Han Xiuyu and Hall Master too close? Can a friend's son be so close?"

What Qiu Ziyan didn't expect was that there would be someone closer than this in the future.

One night a week ago, the dinner made in the kitchen was not so distracting. The rice was not stewed well and it was a bit hard.Qiu Ziyan, a spoiled and pampered son of a young master, couldn't get used to eating, so he only picked up a few mouthfuls of vegetables, only to wake up hungry in the middle of the night.When he sneaked out of the dormitory and was looking for food in the kitchen, Shen An happened to bump into him.

At that time, the kitchen was dimly lit, Shen An had just lit the oil lamp, and saw him standing on the stool looking through the biscuits in the cabinet to eat, with crumbs on the corner of his mouth, and his coat was put on backwards.

Qiu Ziyan was taken aback, blinked, and jumped off the stool: "Shen, Master Shen...I'm really hungry, so..."

Shen An was as good-tempered as ever: "Didn't eat dinner well? Don't eat dry biscuits, wait for me to cook some noodles."

Qiu Ziyan was flattered, and quickly wiped his mouth clean: "Why did you come to the kitchen in the middle of the night? Didn't you have a good dinner?"

Shen An found spare ingredients from the cabinet: "It's not me, it's Xiao Yu, the picky eater."

Qiu Ziyan scratched his forehead: "You specially cooked noodles for him?...The biscuits are actually not bad."

Shen An smiled softly: "But he said he wants to eat egg noodles with persimmons."

Qiu Ziyan was startled, and once again doubted in his heart: "If he is just a friend's son, can he really spoil him so much?"

Although the thickness of the noodles in the pot is close to that of noodles, the taste is really good.Qiu Ziyan picked up a bowl, and while eating noodles, he made up the very credible "truth" of "illegitimate child".The culprit of being punished to stand on his head began to quietly plant the seeds that night...

Qiu Ziyan had been standing on his head for more than two hours, and he could hardly feel his arms. He cried and said, "Shen, Hall Master Shen, I really realized my mistake."

Shen An's heart was soft, and seeing Jin Doudou couldn't bear to punish him anymore: "Then tell me where you are wrong? If you are right, I will forgive you."

"Students shouldn't disrespect your elders, and shouldn't talk nonsense about illegitimate children, ruining your chastity."

Hearing the word "ruined chastity", Shen An choked up: "Hey, you used that word... Forget it, get up first."

Qiu Ziyan's hands softened, and they spread into a ball of paste on the ground.

Shen An said sternly again: "Today you are punished to let you have a long memory, so don't spread rumors indiscriminately in the future. Rumors are easy to say, but they hurt the victim very seriously. If you are an introverted person with a shy face, because you can't stand gossip And suicide is possible. You must have sufficient grounds for what you say and say in the future, and you can't make random guesses."

Qiu Ziyan pressed his face to the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "Disciple must change."

The coachman of the Qiu family was sent by his wife to Huoyun Villa early to pick up the young master. He was the first one among the coachman's servants to come, but he waited until all the other disciples left, and his young master was still punished in the martial arts arena. handstand.The coachman waited until the sun set and the red sunset glowed in the sky, finally Hall Master Shen waved to him and asked him to help Young Master Qiu away.

Shen An fluttered his fingers, braided the stalks of dogtail grass that had been pulled down to torment Qiu Ziyan into a small grasshopper, then swung the grass stick and walked away briskly.The afterglow of the sunset glowed his face red and stretched his shadow very long.

After the sun went down, a few lone stars lit up in the sky, like fireflies.There is a restaurant named Qionglou in Chiyuan Town, which is famous for its delicious wine and beauties, and it is a good place for people to have fun at night.Several young disciples from Huoyun Villa lived too far away, and it was inconvenient to go back, so they got together and planned to go to Qionglou to have a meal together.

"Hey Zhang San, how good is the wine and food in this Qionglou, and it's so expensive?"

"The dishes are mediocre, but the wine is very good. Their boss is a master wine maker, and a large jar sells for two taels of silver."

"What? Just two taels? Then you let us make up 20 taels?"

"Five taels is enough to buy wine and vegetables, and the remaining 15 taels are for 'Xiang Man Tang'."

"...What the hell are you talking about Zhang San? You fucking asked us to spend 15 taels of silver to rent a private room? Is it not the same where you eat?"

"Zhang San, do you have shit in your head! 15 taels of silver! 15 taels of silver covers a private room! This is 15 taels!"

"Oh, don't worry! Xiangmantang is incomparable to other private rooms, it's really good! It's the most advanced private room in Qionglou. It's built on the highest point of the whole restaurant. Burning in the mezzanine, there will be no smoke. All the people who have been there say that drinking the fine wine made by the owner of Qionglou there, it feels like they are in a fairyland, drinking the wind and dew, refreshing!"

"Are you sure it's not because it's built too high and the wind is strong on the roof, so you 'drink the wind'?"

"Hahahahaha, the 'drinking dew' may mean that the boss's wine is too weak and not strong enough!"

"Shut up, shut up! Why don't you believe me? Xiang Mantang will definitely satisfy you!"

"Let's go, you guys, stop arguing, let's have a look first and then talk! No, let's go to another place..."

A group of people came to Qionglou in a row, and pulled out 20 taels of silver from their pockets.

"Boss, pack a lot of incense, one hour."

"Oh, what a coincidence, little guest officer, Xiangmantang has been booked out."

"...Oh, then, we're making a reservation now, how long will it take to get there?"

"If you can't wait a few hours, you have to do it tomorrow, tomorrow night. There is a girl who will be booked from now until tomorrow afternoon."

"...Fuck, who is so rich?"

The eyeballs of the young disciples almost popped out, and they looked up at the direction of Xiangmantang, as if they could see the dazzling light from the rich through the ceiling.

On the top floor of Qionglou, Yao Bingqing, a wealthy man, is sitting in the incense-filled hall with his teeth grinning, arranging a kind of homemade incense.She asked the maid to open all the hidden compartments on the wall, and was going to replace the original ordinary incense with the "Le Xiaoyao" she refined.

This kind of incense not only has a strong fragrance, but also has a pure cotton texture.Wait for twelve hours after the first part is burnt, and then burn the second part, so that the two different flavors can blend with each other to achieve the best effect.

The disciples who failed to eat meat had a meal of wine and food in the ordinary room of Qionglou, and went back to Huoyun Villa to sleep without much enjoyment.When they lay down on the beds in the dormitory, it was already late at night, and the village was completely silent, only the stars in the sky were still blinking tirelessly.

The two-day holiday at the end of the month not only made the disciples long-awaited, but also made Shen An very excited.He was especially looking forward to visiting Shen Chengquan, his father-like boss and elder - because elder Shen's cooking was very delicious.

Shen An carried a bagful of apricots grown by his servants in the back garden, and rode to Elder Shen's mansion early in the morning.

Shen's Mansion is located in a quiet valley, built along a stream, it looks like a family with a little bridge and flowing water.Elder Shen loves flowers and plants the most in his life, and half of the house is planted with various kinds of plants. When Shen An arrived, he was concentrating on pruning chrysanthemums.

I don't know if childishness is contagious, Shen An stayed with a group of young disciples in Huoyun Villa for a long time, and his immature heart became more and more childish.He hid behind a thick sycamore tree, ate an apricot, and threw the apricot pit into the bucket at Elder Shen's feet, with a plop, a small splash was made.

Elder Shen looked back and complained: "I told you not to throw fruit shells in the garden, why didn't you listen."

The servants were inexplicably blamed, and they all looked dumbfounded.

Elder Shen looked at the apricot pits in the bucket, and wondered, "Where did the apricot pits come from? We don't grow any apricot trees in our house?" He looked around and found a bag of golden-yellow fresh apricots next to the plane tree. .

Elder Shen walked over suspiciously, but was caught off guard by a figure jumping out from behind a tree and hugging him.That person was half a head taller than him, and his body was extremely fast, but the movement of hugging him was very light, like a light feather.

Shen An smelled the familiar scent of vegetation on Elder Shen's body, and said happily: "Elder Shen, I miss you so much!"

I miss your twice-cooked pork, squirrel fish and tomato sirloin soup!

Elder Shen was full of surprises, and patted him on the back: "Get up, when did you become so spoiled?"

Shen An took an apricot and handed it to Elder Shen: "Taste it quickly, I planted it myself in the village, it's so sweet."

The apricot has thin skin and thick flesh, plump and juicy, but it is a pity that there is a small black spot on the yellow skin, like a small mole.

Elder Shen shook his head and said, "It's a pity."

Shen An: "What's wrong?"

Elder Shen: "The apricots are growing so well, someone wants to grab them from us."

He broke open the apricot, and the crack was right along the little black spot. Shen An took a closer look, and saw a small brown worm coiled in the burnt yellow apricot flesh, still wriggling.

Shen An: "..."

He used to eat apricots by biting them directly, but luckily he didn't eat a single worm, which was pretty straightforward.

After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Shen, a culinary expert, quickly finished a table of meals, and looked at Shen An wolfing down with a smile: "Xiao An, I just became the hall master, is it going well with the disciples this month?"

With braised pork in his mouth, Shen An said vaguely: "It's very smooth, and the children are all good seedlings."

Elder Shen helped him serve a bowl of soup: "Be careful of choking. By the way, I heard that a friend of yours passed away a few days ago. Before he died, he entrusted his son to your care?"

Shen An nodded: "Yes, it was a beggar friend of mine who was poisoned and died. There was only one little boy left behind. The boy's name was Han Xiuyu, and he had been in Huoyun Villa for almost a month."

Elder Shen was thoughtful: "Bring him to me tomorrow. If his aptitude passes the test, let him join the Emberless Fire and practice with other disciples. Otherwise, there will be nothing to do every day, how boring."

"Well, I have an appointment with Elder Yao tomorrow. Besides," Shen An took a sip of the soup: "The child was poisoned and hurt his eyes, so he can't see anything now."

Elder Shen: "Oh, that's it... Is there hope for a cure?"

Shen An: "I don't know, let's talk about it later. We'll think about practicing after he recovers."

Elder Shen wiped the soup stains from the corner of Shen An's mouth with a handkerchief: "There is one more thing. A few days ago, I took in a young boy who wandered alone. He is not very old, but he is very sensible and qualified. He is a good seedling. I think Give him to you to bring."

Elder Shen turned his head and said to the servant who was serving him, "Go ahead and call Amin."

The servant brought a young boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, while Shen An looked at him, he still didn't forget to chew.
