Chapter 168 (1/2)
In fact, the old house of the Li family is a magnificent mansion. It is said that in its heyday, there were more than 100 servants serving here alone. However, for those who come back to the mountain, the courtyard is too small to compare with that on the mountain. They live in a cramped condition.
In particular, something like that happened last night. Today, there are people who come here to find trouble. It's hard for everyone.
Duan Ping felt that it was very difficult.
He couldn't tell where the trouble was. No matter whether people came to visit or came to find trouble, the hall had to be cleaned up and Duan Ping did some chores.
He couldn't say what was awkward, but he felt that it was not pleasant to see anywhere. Even when he walked, he felt that the stone road hurt his feet.
When elder martial brother Jiang called him after him, Duan Ping suddenly remembered what was wrong.
At ordinary times, there is always a person with a loud voice and heavy footstep, running around in front of and behind people.
Younger brother Yu.
Although Duan Ping always thinks that he is a bit stupid, a little annoyed, and has a lot of words, he always rushes to work, but four or five times out of ten times he has to make mistakes
But now there is no one. No one rushed to carry the stool for him when he moved the stool and said, ”brother Duan, you have a rest.” There was no one who strode forward with a roar as he turned back, panting like a bull plowing the fields.
Seeing Duan Ping standing there, Jiang Fan was dumbfounded and his eyes were a little red. He had some doubts at first, and then he realized that his heart was also sour.
Duan Ping himself turned to himself and asked, ”elder martial brother Jiang, what else do you have to do?”
”It's nothing. It's just to heat more hot water. When guests come, they always have to give them a cup of tea.”
Duan Ping nodded, but he didn't think so.
He has heard the elder martial brothers say that it is a group of evil guests who come to find trouble today. You shouldn't have a good face for these people, and tea? The more polite they are, the more they think it's easy to bully them.
As a result, they not only cleaned the hall, but also placed a lot of tables and stools. They even had to change their clothes. The clothes of the disciples of Huihui mountain are white with blue edges. What they don't wear usually depends on their own taste. However, when there is such a big event, we have to wear them neatly, even the shoes and boots and the headband should be the same color.
When the post was posted, it was late. Although the wind and snow were particularly fierce today, people came outside the gate at the right time.
I don't know if these people are staring at the copper leak and pinching the time. One by one, with cold faces, walked through the gate.
The formation, that neat, as if rehearsed in advance.
All the people in Huihui mountain stand outside the hall gate to greet each other, and Xiaodong stands among the senior brothers. From the morning till now, he has not said a word. Mo Chen stands behind his master and looks back at him twice during the reception. Xiaodong's eyes don't look as smart as usual, looking at those people who come in at the door, but his mind is obviously not on those who come in.
It is obviously inappropriate for him to do so.
Usually, Xiaodong and Yu Dahong don't have deep friendship, but they are still closer than others. Maybe it's because the two people's age difference is not much, and they are the kind of character with no city in mind. Before Yu Dahong gave Xiaodong two bags of wild fruits picked on the mountain, and Xiaodong also gave him his cakes to eat.
Knowing that Yu Dahong was killed by Chen Jingzhi, Mo Chen thought that Xiao Dong's character must be very sad.
But Xiaodong, like a cub in a cold winter sleep period, was particularly slow to respond to everything around him.
Although he heard the news of Yu Dahong's death, he didn't seem to understand the truth or falsehood of the matter. He was so dull all the time.
This is certainly not appropriate.
Mo Chen worried that even if he took acupuncture at this moment, he was afraid that he did not know to cry for pain.
In front of these insidious people, they had to meet each other politely. When they returned to the mountain, they all held a breath in their hearts. In particular, Linglong's heart is blocked by fire, and everyone looks like an enemy. The light in his eyes is fierce, like a wolf.
When Mo Chen followed Li Fulin into the hall, Jiang Fan led the others in and stood by.
Xiaodong is arranged by Jiang Fan to stand at the back of the column. Even if the people in front of him turn their faces and lift the table, they are relatively safe to stand behind, and the risk of harming the fish in the pond is much smaller.
