[Ye Lan] Cup of Joy

Lan He waved his hands in a bit of a breakdown: "Girl, please let me go! I really..."

"Oh? You don't know martial arts? But I see you have a sword—" The pretty girl picked up the spatula in her hand, and the sharp edge made Lan He subconsciously raise her arm to block it, but she suddenly stopped He raised his hand, "And the cocoon in your tiger's mouth is obviously caused by holding the sword for a long time."

"But I really..."

"Xiao Tang, stop messing around. He has lost his memory." Ye Xiu fell from the beam at some point, accompanied by a beam of sunlight, which dazzled Lan He's eyes.He looked up and saw that Ye Xiu had lifted the tiles from the beams and slipped down through the skylight, so he couldn't help but curl his mouth.

"Even if you lose your memory, you won't forget your swordsmanship, right?" Tang Rou held the spatula relentlessly, her eyes were as bright as if she saw her prey.

"He's been poisoned, just let him go this time for my sake, okay?" Ye Xiu slapped his foot, walked around in a flickering manner, wrapped his arms around Lan He's shoulders, and looked at Lan He with a smile. Tang Rou said.

"Alright then." Tang Rou nodded disappointedly, knocked the spatula on the wall, turned and went downstairs.

As soon as Lan He breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Xiu said with a smile, "Well, I saved your life again."

"That counts?" Blue River was taken aback.

Ye Xiu picked up the bong on his waist and took a puff comfortably, then touched the spatula mark left on the wall—it was as deep as six inches!

Lan He couldn't help but gasp: Are all the beautiful girls in Xingxin Inn so violent?Couldn't that pretty lady boss be like that too?

"I don't ask too much, how about calling 'Benevolence'?" Ye Xiu turned his face to the side and blew out a puff of smoke rings. At that moment, Lan He especially wanted to say "the smoke is too big, I can't hear clearly", But he still held back, and after holding it in for a long time, he called out loudly: "En... Gonggong."

"Didn't you speak freely downstairs just now? Why are you shy again now?" Ye Xiu found it quite funny.

Lan He flushed all over his face, he let go of his hand, and went downstairs.Following the smell of the medicine, he found An Wenyi's room and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." An Wenyi seemed to know that it would be him, and handed over a stack of papers, "Your poison is a bit complicated, take the medicine according to this course of treatment, take it for fourteen days, and come to me again if it doesn't improve. "

Lan He thanked him, walked out of the door, opened the prescription and took a look, it was quite normal for the first seven days, but there seemed to be a lot of coptis in the medicine for the next seven days?But he doesn't understand medicine, and the plantain seed didn't give him an antidote, so he can only believe it—besides, how can an undercover agent continue his mission if he doesn't act like he's under the fence?

He put the prescription in his pocket, planning to get the medicine after dinner, so he went down to the lobby to find the proprietress.

"Brother Lan, you can just call me Sister Chen. You haven't cured your poison yet, so you should rest first." Chen Guo said with a smile.Hearing that the wound on this face was caused by poisoning, she suddenly began to look forward to what this person would look like after the poison was cured. After all, such an elegant and polite young man should not have an ugly skin.

"It's okay, it's okay, my face is hurt, so I won't delay my work." Lan He said sincerely.

"Then you go and take down the lanterns on the eaves. It's the beginning of March, and it's time to put them back in the warehouse." Chen Guo pointed to a row of red lanterns hanging outside the inn and said, "The ladder is under the stairs. in the room."

Lan He nodded in agreement, went to the utility room and moved the ladder outside the door, and placed it under the first lantern.The poison has not been cleared, and his skill has not recovered, so naturally it is better to be on the safe side.So he climbed up the ladder neatly, but he didn't expect that one of the legs of the ladder creaked as soon as he stepped on the last step.Just as Lan He was wondering that he hadn't gained weight recently, he only heard a "terrible" creak from the ladder, and one of his legs broke.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, a man slid down from the eaves suddenly, turned around with the hook of the lantern, caught him safely, and fell firmly to the ground. Wearing plain linen clothes, the sleeves of the clothes are arranged like a god descending from the earth.

It was Ye Xiu again.

In less than twelve hours, he had already saved him three times.Lan He had the urge to vomit blood.

"Do you know what to do?" Ye Xiu lowered his voice and said quickly.

Lan He only hesitated for a moment before he opened his mouth and replied, "Thank you benefactor."

Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, I mean, there are so many people watching, why don't you come down quickly."

Only then did Lan He realize that Ye Xiu was holding the lantern in one hand and the ladder in the other. He was maintaining a difficult balance, and he hurriedly broke free from his arms and took the lantern.

"What's going on?" Chen Guo ran out in a hurry, glanced at the shattered ladder, and asked suspiciously, "You guys are fighting now?"

"No, the ladder broke suddenly. Brother Ye saved——saved me." Lan He was tongue-tied as he spoke.

Hey, you are one of the five masters of Lanxi Pavilion!Although he is not an inner disciple, he is still a famous person in the world!It's really embarrassing to be rescued by others after several accidents!

Lan He burst into tears in his heart, wanting to condemn himself for not living up to expectations, but when he looked at the leisurely Ye Xiu, he felt that he couldn't get angry—could it be possible to blame Ye Xiu for saving him?Drive away the bear demon for him, stop the deadly competition for him, and slow down the impact of landing for him, if any one is missing, he, Lan He, will probably have to lie dead in the bed now.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Ye Xiu and Chen Guo had finished studying the ladder: "Look at this crack, it was only made a few days ago."

Chen Guo then turned around and shouted towards the inn: "Which of you used this ladder a few days ago?"

As soon as the words fell, Baozi ran out, holding a half-scraped fish with scales in his hand: "It's me, it's me! The guys from Beixiang came to find a place a few days ago. They have poles, but I didn't find them. Just took off a ladder leg, but I put it back on later. What's wrong?"

"Look, I almost broke my little brother!" Chen Guo said angrily.

"Ah? This ladder is so unusable—" Baozi said, then turned to look at Lan He, "I said, little brother, you are born on the twelfth lunar month! I read that the book said that today will be the birthday of the twelfth lunar month. Little bad luck. I'm sorry for this, how about I lend you the book?"

Lan He waved his hands again and again: "No need, no need, I'm fine."

"Let me tell you, that's pretty accurate..."

Baozi continued to chatter, but was pushed in by Chen Guo.She turned her head and glanced at Ye Xiu, then frowned again: "Aren't you going to rest today?"

"It's okay. Ma'am, don't worry!" Ye Xiu smiled and wanted to raise his hand to gesture, and suddenly realized that he just took the bong in his hand again.

At this "never ending" moment, Lan He took a step forward calmly, and saluted Chen Guo: "Sister Chen, don't worry, I have brother Ye watching over here, it's okay."

"Oh, then I'll go in." Chen Guo nodded and left.

Only then did Lan He heave a sigh of relief, only to feel the heat tickling his ears again: "Little brother Lan is really kind! How about I call you—"

"Don't!" Lan He subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover Ye Xiu's mouth without even thinking about it.

Ye Xiu blinked his eyes and looked at him innocently. Lan He was embarrassed, and hurriedly withdrew his hand: "I didn't mean it!"

"Hey, why are you panicking. I won't eat you again." Ye Xiu put down the lantern with a smile, turned around and climbed up to the eaves by stepping on the porch pillars, and continued to take down the lantern, "Here, then."

Lan He hurriedly followed under the eaves one by one, and took down all ten lanterns in a short while.Ye Xiu didn't throw the last lantern to him, but jumped down with it, as if he was extra careful with it.

Lan He took a closer look, and found that this lantern looked much older than the other nine, and there were even children's graffiti and fine patches on it—but who would have nothing to do to patch a lantern?He couldn't help asking: "Brother Ye, this lantern is so old, why don't you change it?"

Ye Xiu was holding the lantern, but his hand was stiff. He didn't answer him immediately, but let out a long breath before saying, "...the lantern was made by the proprietress and her deceased father."

"Ah?" Lan He exclaimed in a low voice, only feeling a twinge in his heart.

"Do you see that this inn is new? Not long ago, it was just a small shop. The proprietress and her father have lived together for many years. Her father passed away more than ten years ago, and the proprietress has maintained the shop by herself until now. In the past, there was only one small shop. The lantern is enough to support the facade, and her father made it himself when she was a child." Ye Xiu sighed, gathered up the tassels under the lantern lightly, and handed it to Lan He, "Be careful with it. Then, send it to the back of the utility room, where there is a big box for this lantern—oh yes, if the proprietress asks, you should remember to praise this lantern.”

Blue River nodded and went in.He didn't expect Xingxin Inn to have such a background.Thinking of the boss lady's concern for him, he felt a soreness in his chest again.Just as he was walking around the stairs with the lantern in his hand, he happened to meet Chen Guo walking by again.Seeing that it was Lan He who was holding the lantern, she really leaned over and asked, "Is this what Ye Xiu asked you to send over?"

"Yeah. Brother Ye said, let me put it in the box."

"Oh that's good." Chen Guo nodded and let him go.

But just as Lan He walked two steps away, Chen Guo chased after him again, and asked a little nervously and shyly, "Brother Lan, what do you think of this lantern?"

Lan He was stunned for a moment, bit his lip, lowered his head and gently stroked one of the lantern skeletons: "It's very beautiful, and very nostalgic..."

Chen Guo was stunned for a moment: "Nostalgia?"

Lan He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Maybe my father once made one for me."

"How much do you remember? Maybe we can help you find your family!" Chen Guo's eyes softened, and she said eagerly.

"Thank you, but my parents have passed away for many years." Lan He nodded politely, and left with the lantern in his hand.

Chen Guo was stunned for a while, and suddenly it blew out like a wind, almost bumping Ye Xiu who came in with a lantern: "Remember, be nice to Brother Lan!"

"Miss Boss, are you trying to get rich and kill yourself?" Ye Xiu hurriedly stepped aside, "What's wrong?"

"He said his parents were long gone." Chen Guo leaned over and whispered.

Ye Xiu also focused his eyes: "Did he say anything else?"

"Gone."

Ye Xiu nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

And when Lan He put up the lantern and came out to pass the counter, he found that Luo Ji was struggling with the ledger—it turned out that as a scholar, he was more used to researching official affairs, especially the strategy research on monster management, and he was not interested in accounting. Not very familiar.Lan He walked over with good intentions and volunteered to teach him.

"...Written like this here?"

"Yes, and then write this down here, it will be very clear."

"Brother Lan, how do you remember this?"

"Same as the third item, you see..."

The two of them studied for several days, and even sorted out Chen Guo's messy old accounts from the past few years into a brand new pile.The rest of the people were very surprised and asked Lan He what else he would order.Lan He looked at the kitchen, touched the back of his head and said, "I still remember a few home-cooked dishes."

As a result, everyone in Xingxin ate a delicious meal that night. Not only were the home-cooked dishes delicious, but the extra exotic dishes made people's index fingers move, especially Wei Chen was full of praise.

"Little brother, from now on you will be my old Wei's man. If you have any grievances, just tell me. And let me tell you, hiccup——Ye Xiu's heart is so black, you are bullied by him, you can't help it!" Don't hold back, hiccup—you'll be the one who decides if you say it." Wei Chen got drunk, hiccupped, and poured the wine jar on his face without being persuaded, even the steamed stuffed bun couldn't stop it.

Lan He nodded cautiously, trying not to speak in front of Wei Chen if he could.

Then Luo Ji toasted him shyly, and Lan He waved his hand apologetically: "I'm still taking medicine, so I can't drink alcohol."

An Wenyi raised his eyelids, picked up his glass and took a sip without saying anything.

"Then when will your skills recover, let's compete again?" Tang Rou added expectantly.

Lan He suddenly became terrified, and smashed a piece of tofu in the bowl with his chopsticks.

"Don't be afraid, eat your food. With me here, she won't be able to touch you." Ye Xiu laughed softly, took a meatball and put it into Blue River's bowl.

Lan He nodded nah, lowered his head and ate quietly.Over there, Chen Guo has already yelled at Baozi to follow him to learn these few dishes.Wei Chen was yelling to add soy sauce to the plate again: "You know what! This dish needs more soy sauce! The little brother's method is a little bit biased towards the capital. Hey, don't you believe me! Hiccup— Back then, old man, belch—this old man could eat ten plates of this dish in one go!"

It was already closing time, and they were the only people at the table in the lobby of Xingxin Inn.The lights above the head are bright and warm, and the crisp sound of bowls on the table is like a harmonious song.Although it is not the home of Zhongming Dingshi, even though it is not the temple of the Son of Heaven, it gives Lanhe a real "alive" feeling.This worldly smell of smoke and fire that penetrates quietly into the bone marrow is just like the scorched marks on the handle of the spatula, the knife marks on the chopping board, and the patched lantern, which makes people unable to extricate themselves.

"This place of peace of mind is my hometown."

Suddenly, a poem flashed through his mind, and Lan He couldn't help biting the chopsticks inadvertently, and suddenly his whole body trembled—is there a mistake?I'm here to be an undercover agent!It is his task to find out what conspiracy Lord Grim is up to, and to prevent him from continuing to endanger the balance among the various factions in the martial arts world or taking advantage of the crisis to make a fortune!Why are you so happy to come here to do odd jobs for others?

Lan He silently put down his chopsticks, looked around, only felt that the people at this table had different temperaments but were unexpectedly cute, and his intuition told him that they were all kind people.So he made up his mind: if Lord Grim was among them, he would persuade him with reason and affection to stop causing harm to the world; True face, and then "subdue" Lord Grim by himself!Well, I have to find a way to collect materials and start making Joy Gu!

After the feast, everyone dispersed.An Wenyi stopped Ye Xiu and said indifferently, "I advise you not to take him lightly."

Ye Xiu paused, wanting to grab a bong and take a puff, but he couldn't find it.He slowed down, and left without saying a word: "It's okay, I'm not afraid."
