[Chapter 26 - Met a familiar person!] Someone wants to s.n.a.t.c.h Shen Xiao Shou!
As reality has shown for some time, brutal violence was indeed better than gentle education. Thus an hour later. Hua Tang contentedly went to the medicine room to prepare the medicine, while Bai Lian Hua had a b.l.o.o.d.y nose and a swollen face, and was viciously dragged back to the prison.
”Why can't you people of the demonic sect be more open-minded/take things too seriously?” The guards reproached him while dragging him along, ”You have to describe it sooner or later, why bother getting beat up?”
”That's right, that's right.” The other man also chimed in, ”The left chief is infamous for her brutality when beating people, say, aren't you too unoccupied.”
”If she wants to ask again next time, don't ever be like this anymore.”
”It's more important to protect one's life; at this kind of time is integrity even wanted.”
”You see, you are beaten here, it's already purple.”
.........
You people, quickly shut up.
Bai Lian Hua was sobbing and gasping.
The uprighteous sects were truly terrifying....
A night's time quickly pa.s.sed by. On the bright morning of the second day, Shen Qian Ling was woken up by the sun's glare.
”Morning.” Qin Shao Yu pinched his nose.
”.....Morning.” Shen Qian Ling squinted, and barely opened a tiny slit.
Qin Shao Yu was teased into laughter by his look, ”Do you still want to sleep?”
”Not sleeping anymore, I'm dizzy.” Shen Qian Ling gathered the blankets and sat up, ”Are we setting out today?”
”Of course not.” Qin Shao Yu leaned against the headrest, ”The cold poison has just flared up, we will rest two more days to avoid you getting ill again on the road.”
Shen Qian Ling covered his face with the blanket, and sighed deeply.
Actually I wasn't the delicate type originally.
Quickly return me my healthy body.
”What do you want to eat for breakfast?” Qin Shao Yu asked while helping him to pick some clothes.
”Simmer-fried spare ribs.” Shen Qian Ling had a relatively weird habit, others wouldn’t have an appet.i.te when down with a cold, but he liked to eat meat instead.
Qin Shao Yu shook his head, ”What are you eating ribs in the morning for.”
”....Then poached chicken.” Shen Qian Ling could only settle for the next best thing.
A moment later, he successfully obtained a small bowl of porridge and a plate of picked carrots, without even a single bit of ground meat.
Shen Qian Ling: ”.....”
Since I have no say then don't ask me, to think you even seemed democratic.
”I have to go out to handle matters today, Hua Tang will stay behind to protect you.” Qin Shao Yu helped him to stir the porridge, ”Don't run around after eating, go to the backyard, enjoy the sun, reads the books, I will come back as soon as possible.”
”Where are you going?” Shen Qian Ling was curious.
”The village official is celebrating his old age, I'm going to take a look.” Qin Shao Yu said.
Shen Qian Ling instantly looked at him with admiration in his eyes, you even want to join in this kind of event, this warrior you truly are a qualified organizer of the streets.
Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheeks, ”What kind of expression is this.”
Shen Qian Ling said sincerely, ”Didn't know you have such an interest.” Going wherever there was a crowd.
”You think I want to go?” Qin Shao Yu fed him a bun, ”If not for Master Li, don't talk about the fiftieth birthday, I won't go even if it's his 500th birthday.”
” 五百那是王八” Shen Qian Ling pouted, ”Who is Master Li again?”
.......
In a rare moment, Qin Shao Yu's expression twisted.
Yi yi, Shen Qian Ling's interest was perked up, ”Could they be a beauty who had run ins with you before?” Like Master Ceng that kind of big breasted sister.
Qin Shao Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, ”You sure wish.”
”Then who is it?” Shen Qian Ling had an unyielding drive to get to the bottom of this matter.
”He's my teacher's old friend, and taught me the Four Books and Five Cla.s.sics for some time, and is the uncle of the government official of this village.” Qin Shao Yu said, ”Although the things he taught were long winded and rotten, and mostly useless, but since we are here, I ought to go and visit him, and also prevent him from complaining to my teacher.” Actually the main point is the last part, old fellows who are fond of complaining in private really makes one's teeth itch.
”I want to go too.” Shen Qian Ling was in high spirits.
”You?” Qin Shao Yu was slightly astounded.
”I can't?” Shen Qian Ling became disappointed.
”Of course you can.” Qin Shao Yu smirked, ”Marital harmony, it's within reason.”
Shen Qian Ling: ”..........”
Alright, on the account of getting to see the event, I won't argue about the issue of being a couple with you.
The government official was from a very important and famous family in the city, thus this banquet was naturally very grandiose, with colorful streamers dancing in the air and firecrackers crackling in unison and beating of drums clamoring to the sky; it was so noisy that half the city had turned on its head.
”Sect leader of the Dominion of Shadow Chasers have arrived, the youngest master of Sun-Moon hamlet has arrived....” When Qin Shao Yu and Shen Qian Ling had just turned around the street corner, the housekeeper has already started shouting with all his might, and even shouted five, six times like a spoilt recitation machine.
But the people gathered nearby all expressed understanding, and even urged him to shout a few more times -- after all, with such special guests, it was not like just about anyone had the ability to invite them, it was not overkill to shout thirty, forty times.
Really, really makes one envy.
”Please alight from the horse.” When the two of them finally entered the door, a servant boy quickly placed down the stool.
Ta Xue Bai proudly kicked out a hoof, and kicked the stool three meters away.
”Wow.” Loud applause instantly erupted from the crowd.
Shen Qian Ling's expression turned stiff, what was there to clap about.
Moreover you people aren't even working during broad daylight, and instead runs to other people's entrance to see what's going on, and each one is more joyous than the one before.
Are your cultural and entertainment activities this barren.
Qin Shao Yu held tightly to his waist, leaped down from the horse, and landed smoothly on the red carpet.
”Good!” The crowd shouted in acclaim, their applause suddenly became even more intense.
