Chapter 130 Let’s go crazy together (Part )
So shameless!
It was obvious that the one who bullied him the most was her.
Nangong Yujiao's pale face flushed. People in their industry have been applying a special powder paste on their faces since childhood to make their skin white and tender, but the side effect is that their skin is too thin and cannot withstand stimulation.
When the emotions come up, the complexion turns as beautiful as peach pink, not looking like anger, but rather like wanting to reject but also to welcome.
He knew this, so he took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, turned around and walked towards Chunsheng.
Seeing that the two were having an unpleasant argument, Chunsheng's nervous expression finally eased. She hurried to greet Nangong Yu. The two chatted for a few words and then turned around and went into the cabin.
"My benefactor, this Li Mansion sounds like a troublesome place. Do you really want to go there?"
Huai Gu moved over. There was a very fragrant smell on him, not the scent of flowers, nor the scent of powder, but a cold woody fragrance, sometimes light, sometimes strong, scattered at a distance, and strong at close.
If people smell it for a long time, they may even feel drowsy, but inexplicably happy in their hearts.
...It's similar to a psychedelic state where one is bewitched and at the mercy of others.
"You don't have to go."
"Wherever my benefactor goes, I will go there."
There was no solution to the conversation. Xu Shanshan did not avoid or avoid his deliberate closeness. Instead, her calm expression made Huai Gu feel a little afraid to offend her and hesitant to take any action.
"Huai Gu... Who gave you this name?"
Seeing that she was suddenly interested in his feelings, Huai Gu immediately said with great interest: "This name is given to myself. I often miss someone in my heart, but I have not been able to get him for a long time. I miss him so much that I become sick. Loneliness lingers in my heart, so I gave myself this name. Does my benefactor think it sounds good?"
He moved closer to her, and the scent changed slightly at this time. The cold fragrance had a hint of sweetness. This was obviously not the incense on his clothes, but seemed to be emitted from his body.
His lingering eyes were like spider silk, wrapped around her, from her lips, her nose, her eyes, her eyebrows... His eyes were delicate and alluring, lingering.
Xu Shanshan was like a stone. No matter how soft and gentle Huai Gu was, she did not show any strange emotions towards him. This undoubtedly made Huai Gu feel infinite resentment and disappointment in his heart.
But at the same time, it also stimulated his nature of becoming more courageous when faced with setbacks.
Faced with his expectations and meaningful hints, Xu Shanshan directly poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"You shouldn't have chosen this name. Breaking down the Chinese characters, Huai means heart is not, and Gu means fatherless and without relatives. This indicates that what you want will not come true. You are born with bad relationships and are not loved by your elders. You are destined to be alone in the world for a long time and drift with the tides of the world."
The profound and deliberately ambiguous expression on Huai Gu's face seemed to be frozen by a slap in the face.
He opened his mouth and uttered with difficulty: "…Is this true?"
The corners of her straight lips curved slightly, with a smile on her face, but her eyes showed regret: "You are not good enough in your skills, you can't even tell the difference between real and fake."
After saying that, she passed him by. Fan Bai had no idea what they were talking about. He just saw Xu Shanshan leaving, so he hurriedly chased after her.
Huai Gu was left alone there, racking his brains to figure out what she meant by these words.
Not good at studying?
Which art?
The art of naming?
-
The Li family, who have lived in Sheyuan for generations, has been prime minister for four generations since Li Zhen. By the generation of Li Li and Li Chengren, they have become a prominent family in the local area. Although no one in the mansion has achieved greater glory, the Li mansion has been expanded again and again, and the scale of the building is now extraordinary.
Without going through the gate, one can go directly into the main gate of Li Mansion from the main road of Heqi City. At noon, Feng Yan rented a carriage and drove straight in with Xu Shanshan and others.
When they arrived at the gate of Li Mansion, Feng Yan got off the car first. Next to the gate of Li Mansion was a room called the Gatehouse, which was the gatekeeper's residence and duty room.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Uncle Fu?"
The doorman is called Uncle Fu. When someone comes to visit on weekdays, he will come out to check as soon as he hears the noise. If someone comes to visit, he must come here to report first.
"Fuber?"
After calling for a long time, no one came to answer. The guard beside the carriage pushed open the closed window from the other side, glanced inside, and said to Feng Yan: "Guardian, there is no one inside." "Maybe someone is in urgent need, let's go in first."
Feng Yan and his men harnessed their horses to the stable, and after coming out of the straw shed, they went to meet Xu Shanshan and his men.
Li Niaoniao had been away from home for a long time and was eager to return home. Along the way, she chattered to Xu Shanshan about her own affairs, from childhood to adulthood, from interpersonal relationships to daily life.
They walked along the brick and stone road for a while before entering the main gate of the Li Mansion.
The main gate of the Li Mansion was built in a very grand style, two stories high, with a width equivalent to three rooms from side to side and a depth of five beams from front to back. The roof was a gable roof covered with black ceramic tiles...
Just by looking at this wall of gate, one can know the heritage of the Li Mansion in Sheyuan.
In fact, the Li family does have some connection with Xu Shanshan, but it is not their descendants, but their ancestor Li Zhen.
She looked inside through the wall and the door. The world in her eyes was different from that of others. The colorful black and white were all energy, and the strange and changing were all profound meanings.
"Someone is burning paper," she said.
"what?"
They looked up along the line of sight she was looking at, and saw some ashes being blown up by the wind from above, and they also smelled the smoke of something burning...
Feng Yan was shocked and immediately asked someone to open the door.
When the two doors were pushed open, there was a scene of burning paper inside. The ashes of the paper drifted in the wind like white butterflies flying in the sky. The braziers were all the way from the front door to the middle door. The courtyard was full of smoke and flames.
"What are you doing?!"
Feng Yan was shocked.
Li Niaoniao, Chunsheng, Nangong Yu and the guards who followed behind all couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
The smoke covered the entire Li Mansion with a gray gloom. Although there was fire burning all around, as soon as they stepped through the main gate, they felt a chill invading from the soles of their feet into their bones.
It was so cold that they shivered.
"Can't you hear me? What are you doing? Stop it now!"
Feng Yan shouted angrily as he walked forward. His injured leg was still a little lame, but it was only noticeable when he walked in a hurry. However, all those people were burning paper absent-mindedly with wooden expressions, as if they did not hear his voice.
He grabbed the hand of one of them, but he shuddered and struggled desperately, shouting in fear: "Don't hurt me, I'll burn paper for you, please, let me go, let me go..."
Feng Yan's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Who wants to hurt you? Wake up—"
"what--"
At this moment, a scream was heard from the doorway in the distance, and they all looked over subconsciously.
A maid from the Li mansion ran out in a panic, holding a swaddling baby. She was covered in blood and crying. When she saw Feng Yan and the others coming back, a look of surprise and a plea for help immediately appeared on her face.
"Feng Huyuan, save me, they are all crazy——"
Because she ran too eagerly, she stumbled and fell down the stairs, and the swaddling clothes in her hands were thrown out. A guard who was closer reached out and caught it.
"child--"
The maid screamed.
The guard heaved a long sigh and pushed aside the cloth covering the swaddling clothes: "It's okay, it's okay, I've caught the child..."
His eyes blurred and a skinny baby's hand stretched out. The guard's eyes were filled with unbelievable horror just before his eyeballs were gouged out.
