Chapter 4 The night before the house
The night is getting deeper, and the fog in the air is getting heavier and heavier. The wet air wraps around the body, making people feel more distressed.
Chen Ying took out a piece of exquisite silk paper from her arms and fiddled with her hands. Soon, a vivid paper crane appeared in her hands.
After staring at the paper crane in her hand for a long time, Chen Ying let go gently. The paper crane circled around her for a while, then flew into the fog from a distance and never saw it again.
Qian Yang was stunned: "Senior sister, this is this?"
Chen Ying smiled, "Is it fun?"
Qian Yang nodded blankly.
"I have nothing to do in my daily life, so I like to fiddle with these paper cranes, fold them one by one, and then watch them fly away one by one. Do you know? Paper cranes are all spiritual, and they all know where they should fly in the end!" Chen Ying lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qian Yang frowned: "Senior sister is bored?"
Chen Ying shrugged indifferently: "Where can anyone not be bored?"
"Why would Senior Sister tell me about you and Senior Brother He?" Qian Yang's gossip soul was burning.
Chen Ying pursed her lips gently, her eyes fell into the depths of the fog, and nodded in irresistible: "The days are passing day by day, and I have really not remembered the past for a long time, so it's okay to talk about it!"
When Qian Yang heard this, he quickly adjusted his comfortable position, leaned his cheeks on both hands, and began to listen to the story quietly.
Chen Ying's eyes became blurred and she spoke slowly: "My family and Dabin's family are family friends. We have known each other since childhood. We have often played together since we were ignorant. He has also begun to protect me everywhere since then."
"Later, we grew up slowly and reached the age when we should practice. Speaking of which, our two families are both affiliated families of a major sect and have the opportunity to be selected into the sect every year. That year, I was successfully selected by the sect and became an enviable disciple of the sect. However, Dabin was disliked because he was too honest and had to stay in the family to practice by himself."
As a qualified listener, of course you have to express your questions at this time so that the storyteller is willing to continue to tell.
"Why are senior sister and senior brother here?" Qian Yang looked curious.
Chen Ying's expression was a bit complicated, as if she was completely immersed in her memories of the past.
"Later, his family and sect had a breakup due to some things, and then they moved all over overnight and disappeared from now on. But Dabin was out fishing at that time. After returning, he found that the huge family had disappeared, so he went to the sect alone to inquire."
"The sect didn't make things difficult for him. It just explained the situation and drove him down the mountain. You don't know that Dabin was even more stupid than he is now. I was afraid that he would find it difficult to live alone, so I simply left the sect and walked with him. After that, we went around many places and finally took root in this foggy forest and lived there for thirty years."
Chen Ying's story was very concise, and Qian Yang was confused when he heard it.
The affiliated families and sects have had a quarrel? What a grudge?
He moved all over overnight? To be honest, it was not that Qian Yang was not kind, but that after watching too many bloody dramas, his first reaction when he heard this was that He Bin's family should have been directly destroyed by someone while the moon was dark and wind was high.
"Why did his family get into trouble with the sect?" Qian Yang picked up a less sensitive question and asked.
Chen Yingyao looked into the distance and curled her lips: "There are rumors inside the sect that it was his treasure, but I don't know how credible it is."
Qian Yang could not comment on this and said only: "The senior sister actually gave up the identity of a disciple of the sect for the sake of Senior Brother He, which is really admirable."
Chen Ying smiled faintly: "Just because of this, Dabin always feels that he owes me something. He insists on letting me build a foundation first, there are probably reasons for this!"
Qian Yang nodded: "Senior sister really feels wronged."
"No!" Chen Ying smiled freely and easily: "You don't know how uncomfortable I am in the sect. I am a small family, and I have been stormed everywhere from the beginning. Dress up. People say you are charming. Don't dress up. People say you are a village woman. Practice hard. People say you are scheming. Don't practice hard. People even say you are scheming. They say you are scheming. They say you are scheming. They say you are scheming. They say you are scheming and secretly hiding and then showing that you are not motivating. It's really boring. I haven't wanted to stay there for a long time. It's only a matter of time before leaving! That time, when Dabin happened, I just took the opportunity to sneak out."
Qian Yang heard it and said, "Senior sister is so smart, why should she care about the gossip of those boring people?"
Chen Ying shook her head: "If someone treats me like that now, I will have a hundred ways to deal with it. But back then, a teenage girl, I could not bear this. Now I think I should be so lucky. If it weren't for those people's slaps, I wouldn't have let Dabin get a bargain."
"This..." Qian Yang was speechless.
The two of them chatted until the sky was bright. It was not until Qian Yang's butt hurt that the stone hurt, and He Bin stretched and yawned and pushed out the door.
"Ha! Have you slept in the whole night in love?" Qian Yang glanced at him.
He Bin shook his head and rarely said anything back. This was probably the only way for him to express kindness to Qian Yang.
He Bin rubbed his hands unnaturally, looked at Chen Ying with a little shyness and said, "Xiao Ying, I want... I want to build a foundation."
Chen Ying gave him a blank look: "Didn't you buy antiques?"
He Bin nodded vigorously: "Well, I bought it in Qingling Pavilion."
"What did you say?" Qian Yang heard it sincerely, but he couldn't help asking.
"Qingling Pavilion, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the antique?" He Bin was startled.
"Oh! No problem, the antiques come from quite a good place, don't worry, senior brother!" Qian Yang quickly explained.
He Bin felt relieved: "I just said that a brand as big as the Qingling Sect will never sell fakes."
"I'm just wondering, why did you run to Qinglingshan Market all the way?" Qian Yang asked.
Chen Ying took over the conversation: "We have heard people say that the antiques in Qingling Pavilion are quite good more than once by the Linghe River, so I specifically told him to go there. Otherwise, I wouldn't be assured that he would go to buy antiques alone."
Qian Yang nodded. It seemed that Mr. Luo was really competent in the shopkeeper. Even people like Chen Ying and He Bin knew the antiques of Qingling Pavilion. This good reputation that was passed down by word of mouth is extremely rare, and once they have a reputation, it means that someone will make a fortune.
"If you have no problem with antiques, go build the foundation. Junior Brother Qian and I will help you guard the situation outside." Chen Ying said.
"There is no need to bother Junior Brother!" He Bin hesitated a little.
"Ah?" Qian Yang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the stone was unwilling to sit here and chat with him.
If you don’t want to, just forget it! Qian Yang is actually embarrassed to leave, otherwise he wouldn’t have helped him stay last night. It is said that they have lived here for so many years, so there will definitely be no danger.
"Then I'll go fishing by the river, goodbye!" Qian Yang lifted his butt and left.
"Junior brother is back!" Chen Ying called Qian Yang. Then he pushed He Bin into the house: "Hurry up and build your foundation, I will take advantage of this time to tell my junior brother about the basics of fishing."
He Bin nodded reluctantly with a dark face: "I am in a surprisingly good state at this time. I think I will be able to complete the foundation building soon. Tell him whatever I want and teach him well when I come out."
Qian Yang didn't even look at him, and he could finish it soon? Is this a message to me? No matter how fast you are, you can't get out in five minutes, right? If we want to do anything, five minutes is enough.
Chen Ying persuaded He Bin to go back and smiled embarrassedly at Qian Yang: "Junior brother, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Qian Yang waved his hand and said it was okay, and then arrived: "Senior sister, please tell me about fishing. I have been waiting for it for a long time."
Chen Ying nodded and sat back on the steps: "Do you want to make a living by fishing? Or do you just want to have fun?"
"Me?" Qian Yang frowned and thought for a while: "If fishing is enough to make a living, I would rather do nothing. I just learn from my senior sister to build a house by the Linghe River, and bask in the sun every day and fishing, how good it would be."
Chen Ying smiled and shook her head: "How can we make a living? We practitioners will not be unable to survive no matter what, it just depends on whether you are willing to pursue higher places."
"Senior sister said?" Qian Yang asked with his head tilted.
Chen Ying sighed and said earnestly: "Aggressors often live a very hard life, and it is very difficult to maintain daily practice. It is rare for us to save the spiritual stones needed for foundation building in thirty years. My junior brother comes from a famous sect, and my senior sister advises you not to waste your time on fishing."
Qian Yang nodded: "My junior brother knows, but why do senior sister and senior brother choose to make a living by this?"
Chen Ying smiled softly: "It's not your Senior Brother He. His ancestral teachings are that the He family's children must make a living by fishing for generations, so their family have been doing this for generations. After so many years of inheritance, they have accumulated a lot of experience in fishing. So although you, Senior Brother He, are quite irritable, as long as you hold a fishing rod in your hand, your whole person will be completely different, and the fishing harvest is much better than that of ordinary people."
"It's so?" Chen Ying's answer was greatly impressed by Qian Yang's expectations. He couldn't help but ask: "It's reasonable to pass on his experience, but is the ancestral teaching that the family's children must make a living by fishing is too unkind?"
Chen Ying shook her head: "There is such a ancestral teaching in his family, and there is a reason why he must do this. But even Dabin has a very little understanding of this, and I can't tell you the whole picture. Let's not talk about it with my junior brother!"
Qian Yang frowned and pretended to be deep: "I guess it must be a sad story."
Chen Ying was so funny that she trembled by him. She smiled for a long time before she returned to her expression: "Stop talking about those! Let me tell you about the annoying fish in Linghe first!"
Qian Yang quickly sat upright: "Junior brother listen carefully."
