The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night. Stars fall like rain. The road is filled with the fragrance of horses and carriages. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. Moths and snow willows are golden, and the fragrance is gone with laughter. Looking for him thousands of times in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the person is in the dim light.
An Nuan has always believed that Xin Qiji's poem "Green Jade Case, Lantern Festival" condenses all the beautiful imagination of modern people about ancient times. If someone fantasizes about traveling to a romantic and beautiful ancient time, this poem will be the most satisfying scene for him.
The story that Liu Changan told had a completely different feeling. In his eyes, whoever became an emperor depended on their own abilities. But in the profession of an emperor, the emperor of the weak Song Dynasty was most despised by his peers. It was probably because of the saying: Ruling the country unjustly.
However, other emperors will think that the weak Song Dynasty is not righteous. The whole weak Song Dynasty is like a castrated product, lacking some blood essence and backbone. They also want to castrate the whole nation. Since then, the so-called Neo-Confucianism has been trying to tie the hands and feet of the nation with the foot-binding cloth of women with small feet. It stinks and causes endless disasters.
In the morning, An Nuan wakes up. She is still a little absent-minded about the story of the Song Dynasty told by Liu Changan last night.
Liu Changan was indeed a very good storyteller. He spoke tirelessly and meticulously, as if he was using words to weave a clear and visible "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Only, there were many more indescribable flavours to it. It was as if an Immortal was wandering between the secular world and the secular world. He continued to narrate until the main character went out to sea and bid farewell to his friends.
The story of the protagonist going overseas was also something to look forward to. Who knew what kind of scene it would be in Liu Changan's story when things collided at that time?
Liu Changan has already got up.
He got up very early. There are still seven or eight stars in the sky, and it is just two or three o 'clock in the rain. The croaking of frogs last night has stopped, and there is no noise to disturb people. Liu Changan naturally has no reason to catch beneficial insects.
After the rain, the air in the farmhouse manor was mixed with the fragrance of rice. The green hills surrounded the water, and the mist in the distance was dense. This year's plum rain hadn't passed yet. The air was fresh and moist, making people feel as if their nostrils and lungs had been cleansed.
Xiangnan's rice could be grown for three seasons, but there were many like Gao Yuanshan who could only grow for two seasons. Liu Changan was barefooted before dawn, carrying the bucket to the side of the field. The feeling of the soil and weeds tickling the soles of his feet was very comfortable. Occasionally, there would be some protruding stones blocking his feet. When he stepped into the field, the cool water would submerge his feet, and the soles of his feet would sink into the soft mud. The mud from all directions enveloped him, comfortable but difficult to pull out. The slightly itchy touch made him lift his leg, and the water would flow into the gap he lifted, making a "Gu Ji" sound.
Liu Changan listened to the sound of the water and heard the slapping of the fish tails. He quickly caught a Crucian Carp.
After a short while, Liu Changan had caught half a bucket of Crucian Carps and went back to the yard. He poured all the Crucian Carps into the big water tank and added a bag of salt to remove the soil smell.
He then went to the willow tree by the river, chopped some branches, and peeled off the bark.
When he was done, Liu Changan saw Bai Hui coming out of the room. He greeted her. Bai Hui had two eye bags, and she didn't seem to be sleeping well.
"Don't tell me you guys didn't sleep and wanted to listen to something?" Liu Changan said regretfully for Bai Hui.
"No!" Bai Hui's face was slightly red. That was part of the reason she didn't sleep well. "I had two consecutive nightmares last night, and I couldn't fall asleep. I heard you working in the yard, so I got up."
"I was telling An Nuan a story. She should be sleeping well."
"Story?" Bai Hui wanted to laugh coldly. A man and a woman living in the same room, and they were telling a story? Coaxing a child! But thinking that the person was Liu Changan, it was possible.
"It's about a man who can live forever."
"Hehe, immortality, then he must have many women."
"…"
Liu Changan was not interested in telling a story to Bai Hui. He continued peeling and sharpening the willow branch. Other than using it for barbecuing, it was also good for grilling fish.
"I dreamed of a lot of bats last night. They covered the whole sky. It was so scary, like the end of the world," Bai Hui said with lingering fear.
"Bats are divided into different species. Most bats are not delicious. They contain all kinds of viruses and parasites, such as SARS and Ebola. Some bats are good for barbecuing, but the meat is a little less, and the bones are very brittle. Some species of bats can be used to make soup. Usually, the soup is cooked and the bats are removed before drinking. After drinking, the bats are added. At this time, the bat is like a wet bear baring its teeth. It's very funny … "
Bai Hui did not find it funny. She quickly stopped Liu Changan. She almost vomited. She suspected that as long as she mentioned any animal, Liu Changan could tell her if it tasted good or not and how to eat it.
"Yingying and I saw a strange bat last night. I beat and stepped on it, but it didn't die and flew away. Do you know what kind of bat it was?" Bai Hui's mood was calmer today. She naturally had to ask Liu Changan for such a question.
"Other than Batman, where else could there be such a strong bat?" Liu Changan said after thinking for a while.
"I'm serious!"
"Then it's a vampire. In ancient wars, vampires would turn into bats and serve as scouts. You dreamed of bats, it was probably a warning. Who knows when a vampire will come to bite your neck."
Bai Hui couldn't help but touch her neck, then glared at Liu Changan. "I'm going back to sleep. Don't wake me up for breakfast."
"I wasn't going to wake you up anyway." Liu Changan said strangely. It was not good to disturb others' sleep.
Bai Hui stomped back to her room. Last night, she chatted with Miao Yingying. In the end, Bai Hui did not admit that she had some feelings for Liu Changan. Sure enough, she was very frank and not pretentious at all.
Liu Changan raised his hand and waved at the window next door that was opened a little.
An Nuan opened the window a little more. Her long hair slanted down, revealing a somewhat charming and lazy smile. "It's early in the morning, and you're actually flirting with a girl."
"If I was flirting with a girl, you would already be gnashing your teeth, and your fingers would be deeply inserted into the wall." Liu Changan laughed.
"No way, I'm going to turn into a vampire and bite you!" An Nuan listened to Liu Changan and Bai Hui's conversation about bats just now. Naturally, she was not angry. What made An Nuan most satisfied was Liu Changan's "I wasn't going to wake you up anyway."
Really, only a girlfriend could be associated with the words "wake me up". Bai Hui was too coquettish on the inside!
