In July, the begonias began to open, and The lonely fang treated the deceased with self-congratulations,
Amorous since ancient times empty hatred, carefree life.
"Have you eaten well?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"When did you stand there?" Shen Muqiu looked for a reputation, it was Chen Luosheng.
"Just! I just arrived. Chen Luosheng was overwhelmed by the question.
"Do you walk without sound?" Shen Muqiu actually had anger in his eyes.
"No, no!" Chen Luosheng's eyes flickered, "What are you talking about?" He asked tentatively, his eyes drifting toward The Stream, and he was worried that the two were talking about themselves.
"Rest assured, it's not about you." Liu Bao picked up the tea cup and continued to drink tea.
"Oh!" Chen Luosheng will be suspicious.
Shen Muqiu swallowed a little saliva, the feeling of oppression just now had disappeared, she slowly recovered her spirit, and quietly put away the octagonal Linglong box. Only then did his eyes roll and he said, "When I came back from the day, I passed by a yard and saw a tree of begonias open there." ”
"Begonias? No, how can there be begonias on the snowy mountains. Besides, it's July now, and the flowering period of begonias is not this time, right? Chen Luosheng said with a smile.
"Lord Chen is not convinced!" Shen Muqiu tilted his head and asked.
"Don't believe it!"
Chen Luosheng really did not believe it, he stayed in the snow mountain for four or five years, and he would go to see the corners and corners of the snow mountain, and he had never seen any begonias in the courtyard.
"Let's go see it tomorrow, how about it?" Shen Muqiu asked without anger.
"Yes! To see is to believe. Chen Luosheng laughed.
"Proprietor, do you want to go together?" Shen Muqiu asked Liu Feng again, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Oh well! Let's take a look. Liu Bao readily agreed.
In the afternoon of the next day, the three of them left the Ming Hall and went down to the Ming Palace.
The light rain that had begun last night had stopped until before noon. Shen Muqiu was worried that the begonia tree had been destroyed by the rain, and he was worried that the weather would be cold after the rain, so he did not want to let The Stream go. But Liu Bao repeatedly insisted that he wanted to go to see it, and the group had no choice but to come down.
However, Chen Luosheng felt that Shen Muqiu did not want the proprietor to go because he was afraid of being exposed because he was lying, and he was very noisy along the way.
Shen Muqiu was overwhelmed, her ears, which had been quiet for a few days, began to be harassed again, and she just wanted to quickly end this play and find a quiet place to be quiet and quiet.
Shen Muqiu led the way, but was stopped by Liu Bao in several corners. Under the command of Liu Bao, they walked a very quiet road, stopping and walking, and did not encounter a qingyi guard all the way.
Finally they stopped in front of a mottled wall, and Shen Muqiu looked around to find that it was the courtyard with the begonia that he had passed yesterday, and the courtyard door was in front.
"What a begonia!" Chen Luosheng sighed.
There is indeed a begonia in the wall. Begonia trees are already high above the wall, green leaves and red flowers piled on the branches, gently swaying in the breeze, and pink petals floating down over the wall.
"Go inside and have a look?" @ Alone on the cold mountain has a long-term ambition
Chen Luosheng couldn't wait to go inside and have a look. The courtyard door seemed to have just been painted, and it was incompatible with the mottled wall. Chen Luosheng buckled the door knocker, and no one inside answered.
"Which yard is this?" There didn't seem to be anyone inside. ”
He said lying on the crack in the door and looking inside.
"No matter which line he gets, you still have to knock on the door when you go in?" Shen Muqiu teased.
"Over the wall! That's not good! Chen Luosheng looked at the wall, this height was nothing to him.
"There may be no one living in the courtyard..." Shen Muqiu said and reached out and pushed open the hidden door.
There is really no one inside, it is very quiet, and it is also very clean. The ground was neatly paved with masonry and stone, and there was not a single weed. The three houses, though old, are not dilapidated, and even though there are only bare ledges on the windows, they are still spotless.
Chen Luosheng walked around inside and out, only a few empty rooms, and there was no trace of residence in them.
"There really is no one." He said sadly.
There is only one begonia in the yard that is self-congratulatory. The trunk was already barrel-thick, and the unbridled branches swirled up the courtyard wall proudly.
Begonia flowers are blooming, and even a night of wind and rain has not stopped the buds from blooming. Pink flowers hang from the branches, and the rose-red flower buds are visible, and the emerald green leaves are dotted among them.
Those that bloom earlier, the petals have faded in color and drifted down with the wind, leaving only the yellow buds dotted among the shy and flustered new leaves.
Standing under the tree, Liu Bao reached out to catch a petal that had drifted down, and it was still stained with fresh raindrops.
"It's raining again!" Shen Muqiu reached out to catch the raindrops and said to Liu Bao, "Proprietor, let's go back!" ”
"Good!" Liu Feng did not move, she looked up at the begonia tree, and said quietly, "It has not flowered for many years!" ”
"Proprietor, do you know about this tree?" Chen Luosheng asked.
"Know!" Liu Feng twisted off the petals and nodded.
"Then you know this yard too?" Chen Luosheng continued to ask.
"Know!" Liu Bao looked down at the slowly falling petals.
"Then you must know who lives in this courtyard?" Chen Luosheng then asked again.
"Know!" Liu Bao watched as the petals fell to the ground.
"Who lives there?" Chen Luosheng continued to ask questions.
"Why do you have so many questions?" Shen Muqiu stared at him and asked impatiently.
Liu Feng smiled and waved his hand at Shen Muqiu, looked up at the begonia tree and continued, "I only know that the last owner of this courtyard is Mr. Zhong Hong's disciple!" ”
"Is it the disciple he often talks about who is more skilled than his medical skills?" Chen Luosheng looked at the courtyard, trying to find some traces of the past. @ Alone on the cold mountain has a long-term ambition
"Yes, that's the disciple." Ryuha nodded and continued, "He lives here with his apprentice. This tree was planted by his apprentice. Although the flowering period is late, it has been opened every year before. ”
"And what about later?" Chen Luosheng looked around and found nothing, so he had to continue to ask.
"Later? Later he died, and his apprentice burned all his things. Then he left and never came back. Because this tree did not belong to his master, it was always there. Liu Bao said, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"This yard is so clean, it must have been cleaned up by his apprentice." Chen Luosheng said.
"Aren't you stupid, didn't the proprietor say, 'Never come back!' Shen Muqiu glanced at Chen Luosheng and said.
"There are no abandoned houses on the snowy mountain, they are all cleaned by special people, but there is no one living here anymore." Liu Bao explained.
"Ah, where did his apprentice go?" Chen Luosheng is very interested in this story.
"Where did it go! Yeah, where did it go? Liu Bao looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and muttered to himself.
"What a lot of questions!" Shen Muqiu was really annoyed, and she coldly glanced at Chen Luosheng. Turning to Liu Bao, he begged, "Proprietor, it's windy, let's go back!" ”
"Okay, go back!"
Liu Feng put away the sleeves of her robe, turned and walked toward the courtyard door, only to take a few steps and then she stopped, as if remembering something interesting, and turned back and said: "Mu Qiu, you can make a wish for this tree, it is very spiritual." ”
"Is it?" Shen Muqiu was suspicious, "But I don't know what to do?" ”
"Whatever you want, you can eat anything tonight!" Liu Bao's eyes made Shen Muqiu increase her credibility in making a wish, as if she did not allow it was to disobey the order, so she had to return to the tree, close her eyes, and fold her hands.
"Then I might have one!" Chen Luosheng also ran over, learning from Shen Muqiu's appearance, and chanting in his mouth.
"Proprietor, this tree does not work." Shen Muqiu opened his eyes and returned to Liu Feng.
"Oh, you found out so quickly?" Liu Bao asked with a smile.
"What I promise is to make Lord Chen shut his mouth forever, you can't see it!" Saying that, Shen Muqiu glanced at the tree with a look of disgust.
Liu Xiao fluttered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, maybe Lord Chen promised that 'you can speak freely in the future'!" ”
He also glanced at Chen Luosheng, who was praying reverently under the tree.
Liu Bao did not wait for him and turned and walked out of the courtyard.
When Chen Luosheng opened his eyes, he found that he was the only one left in the courtyard.
A gust of wind blew, the begonia trees clanged, and the cold wind passed through the doors and windows of the house, leaving a low groan. Through the empty doors and windows, you can look all the way to the back hall, which is dark and deep, gloomy and oppressive.
Chen Luosheng shivered unconsciously, hurriedly withdrew, and hastily took the courtyard door, not daring to take another look.
"Proprietor, how did this disciple of Mr. Zhong die?" Since he is highly skilled, he will not die of illness! Chen Luosheng caught up with Liu Feng and asked.
"Of course not," said Liu Feng as he walked, "he died while trying on his new elixir." ”
"Poisoned?!"
Shen Chen and the two of them said in unison, their expressions were extremely surprised! (The original is not easy to reprint, please indicate the source, piracy must be investigated @ alone on the Hanshan has a long-term ambition)
