Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 448 447. It Rained All Night
After rambling on for almost half an hour, Li Zhen stopped.

Because he had already heard the long, even breathing.

The water in the teapot on the table was already cold, and he didn't dislike it. After pouring himself a full cup, he quietly left the table and walked into the courtyard.

Standing in the yard was the same old butler who had been listening silently for almost half an hour.

"Butler Li."

Li Zhen lowered his voice, looked for some reason... staring straight at his family and asked:
"what should I do now?"

"..."

Li Zhong didn't speak at all, and still stared at him.

"How about...shall I go out?"

Li Zhen said again.

Anyway, Mrs. Huqiu is a woman, this lonely man and widow are in the same room in the middle of the night, even if the two of them chatted until dawn, it would not be good to hear the news.What's more... that person has already fallen asleep, and it doesn't matter whether he returns to the house or not, as long as he stays with others, it's really not suitable for him.

Li Zhong also understood this truth. After thinking about it, he silently hooked his fingers at Li Zhen, stomped on his footsteps, and turned over the wall in the air, and turned out.

It seemed that he was afraid that the creaking of the courtyard door would wake up the young lady.

Seeing this, Li Zhen shook his shoulders, and the next moment he was on the stone steps outside the door.

Li Zhong was three steps away from him.

No matter how a pair of eyes look in the dark, it seems a bit penetrating.

Li Laodao didn't understand, so when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the old man whisper:

"The old man asks the Taoist priest to guard my young lady at the door overnight."

"...?"

Seeing the Taoist priest's puzzled look, the old man's eyes flickered...

It seems to be thinking, but also seems to be hesitating.

But after thinking for a few breaths, he still lowered his voice:
"To be honest, Daoist Shouchu. My young lady has been troubled by insomnia for many years."

Don't... sleep?

Insomnia?

Seeing Li Zhen's surprised appearance, the old man's voice was full of worry:
"On weekdays, I'm extremely tired for three to five days before I can take a nap for an hour or two."

"...????"

Li Zhen was a little confused.

Isn't this the ultimate 007 tool that every boss dreams of?

But with this ridiculous thought, he immediately frowned.

asked in a low voice:

"Only take a nap every three to five days?"

"……Um."

Li Zhong nodded:

"For so many years, this is the first time that the old man has seen the young lady sleep so fast and so peacefully. And the young lady can sleep so soundly, the Daoist priest contributed a lot. It's just... this time, after the young lady met Zhu Huai in Hebei, her heart ached. There is a strand of qi left in the veins, I can’t move my qi, and my body is still very weak. Today I suddenly feel sleepy, the old man begged the Taoist priest to guard him outside the door overnight, so that the young lady can sleep more.”

"no problem."

Li Zhen agreed immediately.

"How about I go back and talk?"

"..."

Li Zhong listened attentively, then shook his head:
"I don't need it for now...the old man will thank the Taoist priest."

"Ah."

Li Zhen waved his hand, went directly to the door, and sat cross-legged on the ground.But Li Zhong didn't say anything when he saw this, and after giving a salute to Li Laodao, he turned over and went back to the yard.

"call……"

Taking a long breath, looking at Luoyang City with few lights in the darkness, Li Zhen's eyes were suddenly filled with...

Insomnia...

While he was in a daze, suddenly, a gust of earthy wind blew over from nowhere.

"!"

Subconsciously, he looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, the sky was still full of moon and stars in the first half of the night, but at this moment the light suddenly became dim.

Countless clouds are like layers of window paper, almost covering the soft glow with the effort of a gust of wind.

The light dimmed in the clouds.

"Boom rumble..."

In the distance, there was a muffled thunder, and the earthy smell in the air became heavier.

It is going to rain.

Before the rain, there was the wind.

Li Zhen only heard a "woo", and the wind whistled through the door behind him.

But it disappeared in the next second.

Li Zhong pushed open the door quietly.

Frowning at the door, he also looked up to the sky.

Can not be closed.

Because the door of Chunyou Club is not closed tightly.

Friends who have lived in high-rise buildings should know this truth. If the windows are not well sealed when the wind blows, unless they are opened, no matter how tightly they are closed, the whimpering sound will not stop.

Li Zhong obviously understood this truth.

The door of Chunyou Club opened.

But opening the door means that the wind, which could only escape the wall, has found a vent.

The Taoist's hair was instantly disheveled by a gust of wind.

The wind, mixed with the smell of earth, grass clippings, and street dust, blew into the courtyard.

Li Zhong frowned even tighter, he was hesitating whether to close the door... But when he was afraid that the sound of closing the door would wake up the lady, suddenly, a golden light appeared under his feet.

The golden light is very faint, but extremely clear and pure.

It began to spread from under the Daoist.

Little by little, like a cocoon, the whole Chunyou Club was wrapped up in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, under the golden twilight, Li Zhong stepped on the light film that looked like water waves, and he felt a sense of peace and peace from the inside out, and he saw the Taoist waving to him.

Silently, but signaled that he needn't worry.

The wind is blowing head on.

Then you only need to open a few small windows on the side.

As a result, the light film silently opened a hole on the east and west sides.

After the air circulated, Li Zhong only felt... as if he had come to a certain paradise, the earthy smell in the air was no longer there, only the stability and steadfastness conveyed from his feet.

Instinctively, he turned his head away.

Sure enough, the young lady's frown that had just been frowned became relaxed again.

"..."

His eyes fell on the light film under his feet again, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Such a pure golden light spell...

The Golden Light Mantra is considered by many people to be an entry-level method for Taoist cultivators... But many people don't know that although it is an entry-level method, it is the most evidence that can highlight whether a cultivator's heart is clear.

Qualitative fixed destiny, double cultivation of life and soul.

And the transparent golden light under his feet...

For some reason, his eyes turned to Li Zhen's back again.

A hint of approval quietly appeared in his eyes.

And at this moment...

"Boom rumble..."

Accompanied by being filtered by the light film, the thunder was reduced a lot, and the bean-sized raindrops dripped from the nine heavens in an instant.

patter...

clap la la...

Li Zhong raised his head again, seeing the raindrops slid down into threads like silk, he felt in a daze...the golden light was like colored glaze.A dome made of glass.

And the sound of rain and thunder, combined with the gleam of rain and golden light on the dome, seems to put people in the starry sky...

Even if he has seen a lot in his life, he still feels that the sound of wind, rain and starlight at this time...

It's really beautiful.

Unfortunately miss...

Feeling sorry, she turned her head again.

But found that the young lady was still sleeping soundly, but for some reason, the corners of her mouth were raised, and a peaceful smile appeared on her face.

"..."

The old man who watched the woman grow up also smiled.

He laughed silently.

How can I regret it?

How can there be any regrets?

The lady's dream must be more beautiful, right?

For some reason, his eyes fell on the Taoist sitting cross-legged at the door again.

He is like an elder watching the tossing of the younger generation, his back is no longer straight, and his waist is a little bent.

Sure enough, when people are old, they don't use their muscles and bones as energy.

I can't stay up all night.

Silently hammering down, he stepped on the golden light like water waves, walked to the corner and sat on the wicker chair which was much more comfortable than other places and closed his eyes.

The wind and thunder are still in my ears.

The rain is moist and silent.

……

It rained all night.

At the end of the night, as the golden light slowly dissipated, the fresh air in the morning penetrated into the nostrils.

After the woman lying on the table smelled this smell, she showed a kind of... a greedy smile.

All the cells in the whole body are happy, and the boundless energy tells the preciousness of this rebirth.

With the dream of reluctantly leaving, she finally opened her eyes at the moment when the golden light remained.

The first scene that came into view was the back figure sitting cross-legged in front of the opened door, and the golden light slowly gathering under him.

Amidst the chirping of birdsong, a trance appeared in the woman's eyes.

She had a dream last night.

Dreaming that she was surrounded by a warm light like a mother's embrace, no matter how the outside world was blowing and raining, she always felt very solid and safe.

Is it...

Isn't that a dream?

Subconsciously looking around, he saw the old man resting on the chair at a glance.

He turned his head and looked elsewhere.

On the tree outside the courtyard wall, the luxuriant leaves are like colorful glass under the sunlight.

Not dew.

Dew will not be so heavy.

Is it...

Really rain?

It's raining?
But why is the ground dry?
Subconsciously got up, but the moment she got up, Li Zhong also opened his eyes.

"Miss."

After rushing to the woman's side, seeing the sickly haggard look on her face finally disappearing, the old man was relieved.

Can't help but ask:
"Miss, did you sleep well?"

"..."

When she stood up, she subconsciously grabbed the thin quilt that was hanging down. The woman looked down and couldn't help rubbing the texture of the hemp material with her hands.

He looked up at the door again.

When the brain regains consciousness, the first thought is:
"Sleeping all night again?"

With a clear mind that even she thought was unbelievable, she handed the quilt to Li Zhong and walked towards the door.

"call……"

As soon as I got to the door, I heard a snoring.

And when he got closer, he saw the Taoist who bent down after the Golden Light Curse dissipated, snoring a little with his head tilted and his mouth open, and watched helplessly as the saliva that had been stretched into silk threads fell on the Taoist robe. appearance……

"Ha~"

A chuckle came from the woman's mouth.

In an instant everything faded.

The world fell for it.

But it was just a chuckle.

After laughing, the woman looked at the slightly muddy Luoyang city full of smoke and vitality, her eyes turned calm again.

She took the bamboo hat handed by the old man next to her and stayed on top of her head. Without saying a word, she just walked down the steps gently.

Li Zhong was obviously a little stunned, it could be seen that the young lady was about to leave without even saying hello, so she had no choice but to follow.But who would have thought that as soon as he reached the middle of the steps, the lady suddenly stopped.

Turn your head.

The eyes under the bamboo hat passed him, and fell on the sleeping Taoist again.

"Give him the quilt, Uncle Zhong."

The woman said softly:

"Don't let him catch a cold."

"……Yes."

The master and servant parted ways.

The woman stepped on the wet dust and mud to the front of the carriage, ignoring the dissatisfied steed after a night of rain, she held the handle and turned her head again.

After confirming that Li Zhong had covered the Taoist with a quilt, the tenderness in his eyes completely dissipated.

Instead, there is clarity.

Its daybreak.

A new day begins.
