Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 23 Throw me a peach and repay it with Qiongyao

Xiaolan has been with the dryad's grandmother for more than ten years, and she is almost numb.

Moreover, most of the people she meets on weekdays are reckless men who seem to lose their souls when they see her...

Ning Caichen's words stirred her mood like an ancient well.

As usual, she only needs to do a little trick... such as throwing a look, pretending that the dress slipped or something.

Those smelly men can't wait to pounce on them.

But tonight, Xiaolan inexplicably developed some affection for Ning Caichen.

"Young master is really different, this is the first time this little girl has heard the young master's remarks.

But the young master knows that lonely souls and wild ghosts will inevitably have resentment, and if there is resentment, it will inevitably harm others. "

Ning Caichen smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, it's nothing to be afraid of even meeting a murderous ghost.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people seven points.

My husband once taught that as long as a scholar has a noble spirit in his heart, he does not need to be afraid of demons and ghosts.

Nobility is in the heart, even ghosts have to stay away. "

"Pfft~"

Xiaolan couldn't help covering her lips and smiling delicately.

Then he couldn't help but sighed faintly: "What a nerd."

"what?"

"My lord, can you read some more books to the little girl?"

"As long as the girl doesn't mind it, what's the point of reading until dawn?"

Ning Caichen replied vigorously, sat down at the table and picked up the Book of Songs, shook his head, and said loudly:

"Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. The bandit repays it, and it will always be good."

Vote for me with Mu Tao, and repay it with Qiong Yao.Bandit newspapers are also always considered good.

Vote for me with wood and plum, and return it with Qiong Jiu.Bandit retribution is also good forever..."

Xiaolan sat on the side, holding her cheeks and listening quietly.

Tears flowed out unconsciously.

Ning Caichen seemed to feel something, put down the book and asked with concern: "Is the girl worried about her family or afraid that her family will worry?"

Xiaolan was distracted for a moment, and subconsciously shook her head: "The little girl has no family..."

"Ah? That girl said before that she was separated from her family..."

"My lord may have misheard..."

Taking advantage of Ning Caichen's inattention, Xiaolan breathed out lightly.

"Young master, the little girl is so cold, can you hold me tight?"

"Oh~"

At this time, Ning Caichen's eyes became a little dazed, and he got up and hugged Xiaolan tightly in his arms.

Then I don't know who took the initiative, and they kissed without knowing it.

On weekdays, Xiaolan uses this method to suck away the yang energy of her prey.

But tonight, she couldn't do it for a long time, and she was a little obsessed with it...

Forget it, there is no shortage of this one, just treat it as an indulgence.

In the flickering candlelight, Xiaolan's dress flew into the air, forming a screen.

Before I knew it, the cock crowed at five o'clock.

Xiaolan tidied her hair and dress, sighed, knelt down and whispered in Ning Caichen's ear: "Caichen, remember to leave Lanruo Temple after dawn, and never come back."

After speaking, he floated away.

When Ning Caichen finally woke up, the sky was already bright.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan..."

As soon as he woke up, Ning Caichen called out a few times subconsciously.

"Is it a dream?"

When he was about to get up, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a embroidered Ropa under the table.

He recognized this Ropa, it was the one that Xiao Lan used next to her body.

So, he immediately went under the table to pick up Ropa, and sniffed it... There was still a faint scent of orchid on the Ropa.

"It's really Xiaolan who left behind...why did she leave without saying goodbye?"

"Is everything that happened last night a dream or real?"

"Xiao Lan!"

Ning Caichen couldn't help shouting, hurriedly left two lines of writing on the table, then packed up his things and chased out the door.

……

It's the first moment.

Zhou Yu and Ying Ning entered Heishan Town on foot.

It's not too far from the county seat, but it's another world.

The streets are full of rivers and lakes people with swords on their backs, and the sound of "jingling, ding, ding" can be heard from time to time.

In the past dynasties, the control and control of folk ironware and weapons were relatively strict, in order to prevent the people from armed rebellion.

But Black Mountain Town seems to belong to the lawless place, blacksmith shop, weapons shop can be found everywhere.

There are also medical halls, battering halls, brothels, taverns, gambling houses... It can be called a deformed prosperity.

But the prosperity on the surface cannot conceal the darkness of this place after all.

Not far from entering the town, Zhou Yu found several corpses, and they were thrown into a corner, where they were covered with tattered straw mats, rags and the like.

"Sir, this town feels like a mess..."

Ying Ning didn't seem to like the excitement in Heishan Town a little bit, so she couldn't help but whispered something.

"Well, just pretend you didn't see it."

Not far away, there was a sudden loud shout: "Fuck, you dare to blackmail the money from my Ghost Shadow Knife?"

Then there was a commotion in the street.

A burly man with a beard wielding a ghost knife went on a killing spree, beheading three men in the street...

After killing, he spat at the opponent's corpse, and then walked to the nearby tavern to continue drinking as if nothing had happened.

The people on the street seemed to be commonplace, and order was quickly restored.

Those who are on the road are on the road, those who hawk are hawking, and those who drink are drinking.

Ying Ning said weakly: "Sir, it seems that the human world is not peaceful..."

Zhou Yu sighed: "This is how troubled times are, you just need to get used to it."

At this time, a figure suddenly walked over hurriedly from the side of the street, and was about to bump into Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu reacted quickly, pulling Ying Ning back a step in time.

The opponent was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, wearing a short black hexagram, holding an earthen bowl in his hand.

Seeing that Zhou Yu avoided it, the guy froze for a moment, then let go of his hand, and the clay bowl fell to the ground with a "slap" and shattered.

"Oh, you scholar, why don't you have eyes when you walk?"

He obviously didn't hit him, but the man in black still put on a rascal face and yelled loudly at Zhou Yu.

Ganqing is a guy who touches porcelain.

Zhou Yu has always hated this kind of people who touch porcelain.In his previous life, he kindly went to help a fallen old lady, but in the end...

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Ying Ning said angrily, "Blood spouted, obviously you bumped into it by yourself, but you missed it and threw the broken bowl on the ground by yourself."

"Yo yo, you are quite fierce, neighbors, you all come to judge."

The man in black roared loudly, and immediately seven or eight men surrounded him with murderous looks.

These people didn't look like neighbors at first glance, they were obviously in the same group.

"Ying Ning, don't talk, Mr. will handle it himself..." Zhou Yu whispered to Ying Ning.

"Oh~"

Ying Ning obediently responded.

"Fourth, what's going on?"

Someone asked a false question.

"Third brother, this scholar can't walk with eyesight, so he bumped into me and broke the antique passed down in my family."

"It turned out to be like this, it's okay, scholars are sensible, and it's over if you lose money."

Zhou Yu smiled: "Then I would like to ask everyone, how much money do you want?"
