safe house

Chapter 15 Aunt Red

Hongyifang is located in the deepest part of Yanliu Lane and occupies a small area.

But in response to the saying "The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", Hongyifang's business in the entire alley is the hottest one.

The afternoon sun shone lazily on the ground, and a stout willow tree swayed its drooping willow branches listlessly.

At the beginning, Luo Mingchuan asked Hongyi very puzzled, "You are a song and dance studio, why do you plant a willow tree at the door?!
Wouldn't it be like those literati and inkmen who want to give willows as gifts and bid farewell to each other, right? "

"Of course not!" Hong Yi denied with staring eyes, "Let me tell you, this willow tree is not ordinary."

"Really? Tell me, why is it unusual?"

Hongyi looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Because it... wards off evil spirits!"

Bah, I believe you a ghost? !
There is a folk saying that willow branches are hung on the door to ward off evil spirits, but they have never heard that willow trees are planted at the door to ward off evil spirits.

Hongyi looked at Luo Mingchuan, and said very seriously: "Really! Breaking willow branches is to ward off small evils, and planting willow trees is to ward off big evils!"

The more you say it, the more unreliable it is!

Let me put it this way, there are two rows of weeping willows planted beside the Qing River.It can be said that all evils are invulnerable, right? !
But why are there still rumors of water ghosts catching people? !
Later, Luo Mingchuan also figured out that the willow tree was planted by the person who established the Red Clothes Workshop.

She was in such a difficult situation at the time, so she broke off willow branches and planted them by the river.

In fact, it is also telling myself to be like this willow branch, to be at ease with the situation, and to live with soil.

At this time, the girls in the Red Clothes Workshop were all sleeping in their rooms.

In the lobby, only a few leaders in charge were clearing the tables and setting up the stage.

Luo Mingchuan raised his eyes to look at the newly tied flower balls, and lost interest after just one glance.

She swayed out of the lobby as if no one else was there, followed the path by the back door, turned around the pavilions and rockery with ease, and entered a house in the backyard.

The scarlet gate was unlocked.

After Luo Mingchuan opened the door and entered, he saw a woman in her fifties leaning on a recliner under the veranda.

Although this person's hair is gray and his face has traces of years, but the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his charm still exists.

It is not difficult to see how handsome this person was back then.

Ming Chuan stood in the yard for a while, not wanting to disturb him, so he prepared to go back the same way silently.

Who knew that as soon as he lifted his feet, the beauty on the recliner opened his eyes.

There was a hint of anger in her eyes, and after seeing clearly that it was Ming Chuan, a kind smile appeared on her face, "Xiao Chuan'er? You girl, why don't you come in?
How poisonous is this sun? !Be careful to tan you in a while. "

While speaking, he poured a cup of tea for Ming Chuan from the small table next to him.

Luo Mingchuan sat down with a smile, "I didn't expect Aunt Hong to be resting. I wanted to leave quietly like this, but I didn't want to. I still woke you up."

"I didn't fall asleep at all." Aunt Hong poured out a cup of tea and drank it by herself. "I have nothing to do all day, just lie there and close my eyes."

Aunt Hong was rescued by Luo Mingchuan when she went to the mountain to collect medicine.

She was seriously injured at the time, especially her lower body, and she couldn't even look at it.

After being rescued by Luo Mingchuan, she didn't cry, didn't make a fuss, and didn't even have any unnecessary expressions on her face.

It was as if it wasn't her who was hurt.

She rejected Luo Mingchuan's offer to take her back to Peach Blossom Temple, but found a clean cave and stayed quietly.

Luo Mingchuan didn't force it, but since then, she would visit her in the cave every day and bring her food, medicine and various ointments.

Once, Luo Mingchuan asked jokingly: "You can eat whatever I give you, so you don't have to worry about me poisoning you?"

When Aunt Hong heard this, she just smiled at Luo Mingchuan, then lowered her head, and continued to eat what she was holding.

Up to now, Luo Mingchuan still hasn't figured out what the smile on her back then meant.

Later, after her injury recovered, he told her that she was leaving and left an address.

That address is Hongyifang.

Later, when Luo Mingchuan came to see her in the Red Clothes Workshop, he would also give medical treatment to other people in the Red Clothes Workshop.

These girls who have always been looked down upon almost made Luo Mingchuan a living Bodhisattva.

After going back and forth, Luo Mingchuan became acquainted with the people here.

Later, Li Qixue didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she insisted on coming to the art workshop to find something to do.

Luo Mingchuan then introduced her to Hongyifang.

I don't know if it's because of the special fate between them, or because of Luo Mingchuan.

In short, everyone hit it off and quickly reached a consensus.

"Xiao Chuan'er, you haven't come here for a long time." Aunt Hong picked up the round fan beside her and shook it lightly, and said softly.

Although Aunt Hong never talked about her past, Luo Mingchuan guessed that she must be the daughter of a rich family.

Not to mention anything else, it is this kind of elegance that comes from the bones, which cannot be learned by a half-way monk like her.

She once said with satisfaction and envy: "Aunt Hong, you are so beautiful!"

"Where is the beauty?"

"There is a beautiful word in every gesture! If I can learn half of your skills, I won't be called a 'wild monkey' by the master."

Aunt Hong smiled and patted her head, "What a silly child!"

"In the past few days, there have been a lot of things happening in Anranju, and I can't leave." Luo Mingchuan said with a smile.

Aunt Hong smiled and asked, "Is the matter of the Yuan family difficult?"

"How come?!" Luo Mingchuan picked up a piece of candied fruit very bluntly, put it in his mouth and bit it, and said vaguely, "I haven't paid attention to a small Yuan family."

Aunt Hong looked at Luo Mingchuan softly, she liked this little girl, and even more liked the wantonness in her body.

That's what she wanted, but never got.

Some things seem to be engraved in the bones, and you want to get rid of them, but you can't get rid of them no matter what.

"Xiao Chuan'er said so, so I feel relieved." Aunt Hong said softly, "It's just that the Yuan family has been entrenched in Suzhou Mansion for so many years, so we can't just suppress it."

It is still necessary to give a sweet date appropriately.

Luo Mingchuan said with a smile: "You taught me these things before, and I kept them all in my mind.

As you said, Anranju started late, if it is too tyrannical, it may become a public enemy.However, if one could know the forces behind the Yuan family, one would not be hindered in doing things. "

Aunt Hong gently put down the teacup in her hand, "Xiao Chuan'er thinks there is a more terrifying force behind the Yuan family?"

Luo Mingchuan shook his head, picked up the candied fruit on the plate again, and said casually: "It's not scary, it's just that you don't know the identity of the other party, and you will always be a little bit tied."
