Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 150
There were only three people, but there were four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

A pair of jade bamboo chopsticks were placed on the bluish-white porcelain bowl, and the wine cups next to it were neatly arranged. Even the pistils that accidentally fell into the bowl were cleaned up, obviously waiting for someone.

But from the time of sunset until the moon hung on the branch, the fourth person still did not appear. Seeing that Huaci was pouring wine into the wine cup on the empty seat, I couldn't help asking: "That...you guys When will this old man come, we will start the banquet now, don't you need to wait any longer?"

Liu Wangzhi brought the wine cup to his lips, and suddenly stopped his movements when he heard the words, his eyelashes drooping like a feather fan, his eyes didn't know where to fall, he didn't blink for a moment, and he didn't speak.

"Oh...tsk." Huaci poured the wine, took out a white handkerchief to wipe the mellow wine stains on the table, and realized that I was still looking at him, raised his eyes and smiled at me, "No need to wait, she won't come."

"Ah, are you not coming?"

It was also strange, since he knew that he would not come, he still specially prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and even thoughtfully poured the wine.

That means, there is still hope in my heart, right?

I didn't know what kind of person this old man was, so I glanced at the empty seat opposite, feeling curious in my heart, when I heard a crisp "Dang Clang", an orange-red steamed crab was thrown into the bowl.

"Eat yours, don't talk too much." Liu Wangzhi put the wine cup back on the table, without raising his eyes, his voice was dead cold.

But I felt a bit of displeasure from that indifference, and said "oh", without further talking, I rolled up my sleeves, rubbed my hands again, and began to slowly peel the crab in the bowl.

After all, I still eat less of this kind of seafood. I hold the palm-sized crab in my hand, but I can't lift the cover on the back no matter what.

After a few times of tossing, seeing that the tips of his fingers were red, Liu Wangzhi finally couldn't stand it any longer, and took another crab from the plate. Bai Runyuru's fingers clasped the crab shell lightly and vigorously, and casually squeezed the crab's shell full of runny water. The yellow steamed hairy crabs were placed in my bowl.

I was slightly taken aback, and immediately put down the crab in my hand, bent my eyes and gave him a sweet smile: "Wow, it must be you. Good snake king, thank you."

"Young poor." Liu Juanzhi glanced at me lightly, saw that crab roe was on the tip of my nose, frowned in disgust, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for me.

Rubbing the tip of his nose lightly with his scented handkerchief, the pleasant scent of plants and trees is fleeting.

I wrinkled my nose, lowered my head and continued to enjoy the delicious crabs, but today it seemed that everything was against me, and the long hair that was gathered behind me suddenly slipped from my shoulders to the front, almost touching the crab roe in my hands.

Just as I was about to raise the back of my hand to rub it, the strand of hair on my shoulder was pulled behind my ear, I tilted my head, and Liu Wangzhi gave a "tsk", and said in a deep voice with some impatience, "Don't move, turn your head back. "

I didn't know what to say, I turned my head back with the crab in my hand, and then I caught a glimpse of Liu Wangzhi taking off a pink rabbit head rubber band from his wrist, and tied my hair up casually.

"???" I was dumbfounded, my jaw was about to dislocate in shock, and as soon as he let go of his hand, I couldn't help turning my head to look at him, "Where did you get the rubber band, it's still pink??? "

Liu Wangzhi picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables as if nothing had happened, and said in a casual tone, "Didn't you look at it several times last time in the commercial street?"

I remembered that day when I was looking for Lola’s Doll’s House, the two wandered around the commercial street for a long time, passing by a small box-carrying stall, I was indeed attracted by this rubber band, but I had a task to do at the time , I didn't stop for it, and naturally I forgot about this little thing later.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wangzhi happened to see it casually while passing by, and I don't know when he would go back and buy it. He probably didn't find a chance to take it out, so he didn't give it to me all the time.

The moon is full and bright, the foreground is beautiful, the crab is fat, the osmanthus is fragrant, and even the wind suddenly becomes gentle.

For a moment, the beating speed of my heart almost exceeded my load. I could only lower my head in panic, but I couldn't hide the smile in my eyes and the blush on the tips of my ears.

Huaci took a sip of wine leisurely, quietly watched Liu Wangzhi's every move, put down the empty lamp in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said: "As expected, it's different when you have a newcomer. Old snake, old snake, you really let me I see it differently."

The heat on my face has not gone down yet, I am even more embarrassed by Huaci's teasing, and the speed of eating crabs has become very fast.

Liu Wangzhi picked up the wine jar, swept aside the wine cup in front of Huaci, put the jar on the table, raised his eyelashes and looked at him: "I didn't see you taking a few sips, why did you start talking nonsense? "

Huaci understood what he meant, picked up the jar and raised his head to take a big sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, raised his sleeve to wipe his mouth, and continued to say: "Isn't it?"

"No." Liu Wangzhi opened another jar of new wine, and drank it with his head back, the strong wine entered his throat, but his eyes were clear, "I seem to have said last time that she is a sacrifice from the Bai family. "

The all-too-familiar deep and mellow voice rang in his ears without any emotion.

With a "buzz", it was as if someone slammed into the bronze bell in the temple in my mind. The huge sound shook my heart, and I became sober in an instant.

I have been so addicted these days that I almost forgot the essential problem.

But obviously what Liu Wangzhi said is correct, but why is there still sourness in the bottom of my heart, densely packed with loss, sinking to the bottom of the sea under the weight of my heart.

I put down the unfinished crab in my hand, but Huaci suddenly picked up a crab, broke it open myself, and put it in the set of dishes that had been vacant all night.

"Speaking of which, the crabs in Jinqiu are the fattest crabs in Liangcheng." He wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief, and his eyes fell on the glistening lake outside the water pavilion, as if looking at the other side through the reflection in the water The bright moon of heaven and earth.

"It was also like this at that time, the lights were like daylight, and the city was full of osmanthus. The few of us galloped across the Crescent Bridge in fresh clothes and angry horses. All disputes and troubles were left behind. Those days were really very happy. ah……"

Hearing the word "Liangcheng", I sharply raised my head instantly, inexplicably thinking of the agreement left on Granny Mei's note.

I just don't know if the "Liangcheng" mentioned by Huaci is the "Liangcheng" mentioned by Granny Mei.

Liu Wangzhi heard him talking about the past, his face was silent, he raised his hand and took another sip of wine, still remained silent.

"She always makes a fuss about going to my restaurant to eat crabs, and she eats a dozen or so. I always advise her that hairy crabs are cold, so don't be greedy. She just doesn't listen to my advice, but as long as you If you come forward and tell her, she will be very obedient."

Huaci shook her head with her forehead resting on her forehead, with a wry smile on her lips, "Just tell me, did she come here to piss people off, huh?"

"Enough." Liu Juzhi frowned, his eyes were filled with frost, and the wine jar in his hand was placed on the table with force, making a muffled "dong".

Huaci looked at Mingyue as if she didn't hear it, and sighed softly: "Oh...it's a pity that I can't go back. Liangcheng can't go back, such a day, such a girl... can't go back."

"I've said enough! Don't say any more!" Liu Wangzhi stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and the sweet-scented osmanthus wine on the table fell to the ground, and the aroma of the wine immediately fainted and fled.

I was taken aback for a moment, and before Huaci could make a sound, I saw him suddenly transforming into a black snake with a thick bowl mouth, burrowing directly into the lake from the edge of the waterside pavilion, shattering the moonlight in the pool, and then following the line of water and sky In the direction of the river, he jumped under the river.

"Liu Wangzhi!" I belatedly stood up, propped my hands on the edge of the waterside pavilion, and looked worriedly at the direction in which he disappeared.

Huaci's expression was normal, and he slowly lit the charcoal stove on the table, served the cooled soup to warm, and said to me: "Don't worry, it's just the time, he has this time every Mid-Autumn Festival, let him Go and stay by yourself."

"It's time? What do you mean?" I forgot the unhappiness just now, and felt uneasy, not in the mood to play riddles with him at all.

"Sit down, don't be in a hurry." Huaci tidied up the broken jar of wine a little bit, raised his head and smiled at me, "It's just in time for him to leave, we can have a good chat."

I just met him, so there is nothing to talk about, but seeing him smiling and looking at me with ease, he patiently and slowly sat back in his original position.

"What you said just now are all old things of yours?" Thinking of Liu Wangzhi's reaction, I couldn't help frowning, "It's rare that he is willing to come to reminisce with you. Why do you just choose things he doesn't like to hear?"

"You also said that it is a reminiscence. Since it is a reminiscence, it is inevitable to bring up the old things again."

Huaci knocked on the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in his hand, and smiled at me: "Actually, I invited him over this time, not entirely for reminiscing about the past."

"It's not for reminiscing about the old days, so what is it for?" I was a little confused, but it wasn't for anger at the snake, was it?

Huaci sat across from me and stared at me, his gaze became distant for a moment.

He didn't know what he remembered, he came back to his senses, and said softly, "To meet you."
