Chapter 48 Ding
Chapter 48 Ding
At three or four o'clock in the morning, the female marmoset sitting on the shaft of the carriage was slowly walking in the Chishui swamp in the east of the Chongjie in a headless carriage.
In the dark and muddy swamp outside, you can vaguely see shrimps with aunt hair and blood-red leeches jumping around under the wheels, and occasionally a double-headed bullfrog with four or five eyes sticking out. And quickly sank deep into the mud.
Qin Gentiana sitting in the carriage was looking out the window and thinking about something indifferently. When he turned around, he found a little fat man who had sucked the meat from his belly for a long time, but still couldn't get through the cloth. The human skin that was finally recovered.
The villainous uncle who is currently in the stage of no sympathy stretched out his hand to grab his little devil by the ear and dragged him over. He slapped the limp human skin and plaster on his blank face, rubbed it left and right, and then completely wiped the little boy's chubby face like a doll in New Year's pictures. recovered back.
"Wipe the snot off your face, and if you cry again, you will be thrown out into the swamp to feed the fish."
"Woo...it hurts...you, where are you taking me now..."
"Find a place to hide you, or when your uncle and those old ghosts find out what happened tonight, we're both screwed."
"Ah? Then I... I won't be able to go back to Uncle Rabbit's house from now on. The elder brother from Uncle Rabbit's house said last time that he would come to play with me again... Can I go to the world to see them in the future...Actually When you were arguing two days ago, Uncle Rabbit fed me delicious food. He is really a nice person... Sigh, I didn’t tell him that I was leaving, and also, will I not be able to see it in the future? it's your turn……"
I don't know why I feel a little sad all of a sudden, the little troublemaker has grown up to four or five years old and hasn't enjoyed the love of his biological parents much, so he naturally appreciates the kind of family life that he saw at Jin Heng's house before. Very envious.
Although he didn't take the initiative to mention this matter with Qin Geng, but now that it's time to separate, the expression on this little guy's face is full of reluctance.
Seeing this, he lowered his eyes and looked down at his Gentiana chinensis, but he didn't rush to say anything. After a while, he took out a folded little white dog skin and threw it in front of him with red eyes, muttering for a long time. child.
And when he saw the familiar dog skin in his hand, the little villain who thought that Gentiana Qin would not care about his problem was also stunned, and then he listened to his uncle, who seemed to be in a good mood tonight, looking at him. While slowly opening his mouth,
"I'll come back after a while to pick you up for reexamination. The doctor Dan said that the skin might not grow fast. You put away the dog's skin yourself, and it will be useful in the future."
"...Okay, then I...I'll wait for you to come back, don't lose me again, I'm really obedient, and I eat very little..."
For a moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten that Gentiana Qin tortured him for more than a month with fright and hunger. The sound of the little idiot Zhang Changsheng lying in Qin Gentiana's arms excitedly and crying loudly also attracted the frogs in the swamp outside to join him. Funny croaking up.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped slowly in front of the palace of Chongjun, whose roof was black and red, surrounded by white lanterns and soft smoke, at the end of the swamp, that two figures dressed in red and green silk came out of the palace quickly. They all went to the front of the carriage, rushed into the carriage and opened the curtain, and Qin Gentiana, who came down with one hand holding the little lord, saluted respectfully and spoke in a low voice.
"Jun Jiao has worked hard all the way, ① He Bo and Hengxing Jieshi are here to welcome Lord Jiao back to Chishui."
"Well, it's been so hard for the two of you to stay here all these years."
"Sigh, no hard work, no hard work, ②If you hadn't gone through disasters by the Chishui back then, how could we small fish and shrimps who grew up in the swamps have such a good life like today... But last time I heard that Lord Chong was angry and punished you not to come back, and we are also worried that you will not return to Chishui soon...Are you going to Longchi here now or..."
"Let's go to Longchi, and take the things I asked the mother tamarin to bring back for safekeeping last time. I have to leave before dawn. This child will stay with me from now on, and it will be said to the outside world that it is my heir left in the world." , and now I finally picked it up, don't let anyone have a chance to see him."
"Okay... okay, let's do it right away."
After finishing these few words, the two servants who called themselves He Bo and Hengxing Jieshi dared to raise their heads to take a good look at the Lord Jiao who hadn't been back for a long time, and saw that his master was really not this time. He came back alone, still vaguely holding in his arms a child who looked like a New Year's doll and looked a little shy.
These two servants who have been looking forward to Qin Gentiana's sentence of imprisonment in the human world and return to Chishui since many years ago, and then find a female snake, mother dragon and female fish to live a good life, are suddenly a little excited and speechless. As for the whispers behind Qin Gentiana and the female tamarin beside him when they entered the palace, they kept their voices low.
"Uncle He, did you hear that just now? This... Could this really be the heir of our Lord Jiao left in the world? I, Chishui, will finally have a little Lord Jiao?!"
"I don't think he ran away. He didn't come back before, didn't he mean that he was going to the world to repay his kindness... And when did our Jiaojun care so much about other people's children, he obviously hates children the most... It’s just that after such a long time, why only the small one and the big one came back…”
"Hey, yes, is it because I am afraid that the woman in the world will not like my boundless Chishui swamp? That's why Lord Jiao didn't bring that woman back... But I told you, Lord Jiao hasn't married for so many years Actually, I just don’t like swimming in the water, you still don’t believe me, what did you say back then that you wanted to give him a few river prawns and rice field eels to be his side concubine first, to help him understand human affairs, fortunately, he was caught by the world before it was too late I got stuck, our family Jiaojun is very infatuated and dedicated, so he doesn't want to learn from those vagabonds..."
"What's so good about walking on two legs! Like that female tamarin, she has hair on her face and legs, and her skin is not as delicate and smooth as the girls in the river... Forget it, I won't talk nonsense to you , I’ll go outside to light the lamp, you go to the Longchi to serve, you can’t neglect Jiaojun who comes back once in a while..."
The private communication between the two ended here, and He Bo and Hengxing Jieshi simply separated.
Hebo, whose gills were bulging, quickly disappeared into the dimly lit front hall with his hands behind his back, while Hengxing Jieshi, who walked completely sideways like his name, waved his sleeves to conjure a plum blossom tea set. She was dressed in a blue robe and veil, and then bent over to the door of the bedroom at the end of the corridor that was covered with green veil, water vapor and sporadic water sounds.
At the same time, in the hall on the other side, Qin Gentian, who has already taken off his blood-stained clothes and is about to tidy up before returning to the world, is having a one-on-one with his little haunted master. Private conversations between children.
"Outside...are those two old grandpas a big herring and a big crab?"
"Hmm, what's up?"
"No, it's nothing, it seems that I have never heard you say that you have such a big house, why does it look bigger than my uncle's palace..."
"Don't compare Zhang Bingzhong's pigpen with mine, I'm different from him."
"Oh, then...then I won't compare, but you have your own palace, why did you stay at Uncle Rabbit's house every day before? Your own home is obviously very big, there is water outside, and there are many big fish and big crabs There are also prawns and big frogs listening to you..."
Just now, I watched Gentiana Qin step by step into the big steaming pond inside, and the little villain, who was still alone outside the blue gauze curtain playing by himself, asked some questions accumulated along the way with a curious face. asked.
Hearing this, he wiped off the blood and water drops on his chin with his hands. At this moment, he has completely transformed into a dragon, and the colorful flower and snake tail tattoos on his back and shoulders are becoming more and more enchanting. Qin Gentiana leaned against the wet pool and faced him. He vomited the snake letter expressionlessly, then shook the green-scaled snake tail looming under the water, narrowed his eyes and replied slowly,
"I can live wherever I want, and I'll throw you outside to feed the frogs if I ask any more questions."
"..."
The little rascal who trembled inexplicably because of the threat of feeding the frog hiccupped in fear and stopped talking. The little guy who just felt that he treated him better than before immediately called Gentiana Qin again in his heart. In exchange for Uncle Badass.
But after a while, the little guy who was looking around couldn't stay idle anymore. After hesitating for a long time, he climbed to the edge of the pool with his little butt and looked at his family that had completely turned back into a big snake. The villain uncle asked with a tangled face,
"Well, then can I ask you one more question at the end, just one, one..."
"Say."
"Well... just before you... when I was secretly hidden by the mother tamarin sister, I listened to you talking with my ears up. Is the story you told the white-masked uncle at the dog mother-in-law's house right? Really..."
"Which one?"
"A lot of people treated you badly when you were young. Only Uncle Rabbit gave you an umbrella when you were a child. That's why you came to Uncle Rabbit's house to repay your kindness... Is this really true?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't think so... You can't be so stupid... My father said that you are very cunning and deceitful, so I think you deliberately told that white-masked uncle just now that you said you were pitiful... "
To a certain extent, he is worthy of being Zhang Fengqing's biological son. At least in terms of seeing when Qin Gentian is lying and telling the truth, the little villain who is actually only five years old this year does have a certain magical innate talent.
And the corners of his mouth were slightly curled up by this kid's words, and Qin Gentian, who heard the approaching footsteps outside the temple, only caressed the tattoo on his eyebrows for a while, and then replied casually,
"Your Uncle Rabbit did give me an umbrella back then, and I must find him to repay him. I definitely did not lie."
"Eh, really?"
"But I seem to turn my head and throw it away, and for many years afterwards, I actually don't remember this happening at all."
"Then...then why do you still remember it so clearly?"
"Because a dead old man broke my horn and told me about it before I was put in prison, and threatened me with all kinds of inexplicable words. If I continue to do bad things after I get out of prison, don't come to me Once my little benefactor repays my favor, I will be struck by lightning and then rolled back into the swamp to spend the rest of my miserable life as a water snake, what do you think I can do?"
"Okay... so scary..."
The face of the little villain was filled with sympathy and fear for a moment, but after thinking about it, the little guy who rolled his eyes still propped his chin and blinked thoughtfully, and then offered to comfort him Qin Geng, whose expression suddenly became a little weird because of what he said next, said,
"But... luckily, it's like this. You can meet such a good Uncle Rabbit now. When you first went to Uncle Rabbit to repay your favor with reluctance, you must have never thought that you would like him so much now, right? So At the beginning, the old man didn’t really want you to come back to be a water snake after the thunder strike, but he wanted you to listen to him and stop doing bad things in the future, so that someone who is sincere and kind to you will appear, right?”
"..."
This night, until the little guy Zhang Changsheng was taken to sleep, Qin Gentiana, who was sitting in the hall in a clean robe, propped his head silently thinking about this matter.
After Hengxing Jieshi delivered what he wanted, he stood by the side and waited without making a sound, while Qin Gentian, who was sitting alone under the white lantern, looked down at the three matches on the table, a bunch of bright ones. The astonishing lights and the atmosphere here are completely incompatible, but it was obvious that the mobile phone was sending a text message before, and then slowly raised his pale fingertips, picked up one of the matches, and took a closer look.
"③The match made by the hearts of the three mothers and sons of the Lin family, the descendants of the Huang family, Huang Huiru's heart fires that were scattered in the world last time, are all here. You can use these as temporary substitutes for the time being, Mr. Jiao. .”
"Well, please excuse me."
"No trouble, no trouble, these rare treasures were all found by Jiao Jun himself, I just spent some time making them, but I never said that I could get back the things that Old Man Wick lost, you In the future, I'm afraid we will have to continue looking for the descendants of Ding Sheng's wife, but it's really hard to find this little family now..."
Hengxing Jieshi was obviously hesitant to speak when he said this, but Qin Gentian just raised his hand and wiped a match to his empty heart, after a long time he felt the wonderful warmth rekindled in his heart. After narrowing his eyes, he looked out at the boundless swamp, and said to himself in an uncomfortable tone,
"Look slowly, there will always be a day when you find it, I won't come back during this period of time, you help me take care of Changsheng, other chores... just wait for the spring tide and then look for me."
The author has something to say: ① Hebo and Hengxingjieshi: Herring and crab
②Flood dragons go through catastrophes, fish and shrimps soar: It is said that this is how the Dragon Palace and Dragon King came from.
③The hearts of Lin Qingping’s mother and son: Don’t worry, they are not dead, their hearts are superfluous, but it should be clear what reward the aunt got after saving people, haha~ In addition, Miss Huang’s anger comes from the chapter about the marriage of the evil master, If you look carefully, you will find that a key figure actually appeared in that chapter, He Bo.
④In the story at the beginning of this unit, Ding Sheng’s wife who came back to life is the immortal Xiaoshi who appeared in the dog mother unit.
