"And then?" Fang Yan asked.
His voice blended with the falling raindrops and was masked by the whistling wind, making it almost impossible to hear him clearly.
However, Baili Lu heard it clearly.
He could even hear the emotion contained in the word 'and then'. He was angry, and he cared a lot about it, but he pretended to not care.
"And then? Probably the same as Ye Fengsheng? The elders of the family go to the Ye Family to propose marriage and give generous betrothal gifts. First, they choose a close date to drink a glass of engagement wine, and then choose an auspicious day to complete the wedding … Enter the bridal chamber, give birth to a child … Isn't that the process of marriage? After everything is done, the two people have to spend the rest of their lives together … "
"I won't do anything to you." Fang Yan took a big gulp of wine and said with a smile, "Ye Rou will kill you."
"Yes." Baili Lu drank up the Shaodaozi in one breath, wiped the wine stain on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'll drink another bowl. I can't drink such strong Shaodaozi outside, and I can't drink the Shaodaozi brewed by Senior Mo outside … "
Fang Yan ignored him. He ran to the wine jar in the room and took out another big bowl.
He sat back on the small stool under the eaves and continued the topic. He looked at Fang Yan and said, "Ye Rou will kill me. I know Ye Rou will kill me, and they also know Ye Rou will kill me … But why do they still want me to marry Ye Rou? "
Fang Yan looked at Baili Lu with bright eyes and a little smile. He asked, "Do you like Ye Rou?"
"I asked them why do they still want me to marry Ye Rou?" Baili Lu said angrily. "I asked first."
"Do you like Ye Rou?" Fang Yan asked again, and the smile on his face began to widen.
Baili Lu thought for a moment and said, "If you have to find a marriage partner, there is nothing wrong with Ye Rou … Well, I admit that I like Ye Rou. You also know that among our group of friends, there aren't many who don't like her. At that time, we were a group of men hunting birds in the mountains and fishing in the water, but Ye Rou never played with us … Although we said she was unsociable and didn't like to play with such a girl, we actually hoped that she could be with us. If she inadvertently glanced at us, everyone's heart would pound violently, and their voices would become much louder, just like a group of little roosters that had been injected with hormones … "
Bai Lilu picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He felt the strong aroma of the wine, but his eyes were fixed on the water droplets that continuously dripped from the eaves into the pool. The water droplets were like a thick transparent thread, creating small ripples in the small pool.
If the water droplets were alive, would they merge with each other or be swallowed by the pool? Were their hearts filled with joy?
"At that time, we were all very envious and jealous of you. We wanted to play with Ye Rou, but we didn't know what reason to get close to her … You are different. Because of the competition every year, you two were born to be enemies. When a group of us stands together, when she looks over, her gaze will most likely be on you, although her gaze might not be kind … You can also go up and provoke her or even insult her, and then wait for her to retaliate … In fact, we are all envious of you … "
Fang Yan nodded, looked at Bai Lilu, and said, "So, you like Ye Rou, so you won't object to this marriage. Even if you object, you won't object so fiercely … Ye Rou has extraordinary skills, and she may become the youngest elite in the dao of heaven in Swallow Fort. The Ye family is now like the sun in the sky. If you two get married, the Baili family will also benefit a lot … Not only the Baili family, as long as the Ye family spreads the news that Ye Rou is looking for a man, the other families in Swallow Dock will probably rush to marry her. As you said, if you want to find a woman to marry, who doesn't want to marry Ye Rou? "
After a pause, Fang Yan said, "Of course, it won't be easy for you to take advantage of this … The Ye family will never let Ye Rou go. So, did they ask you to be their son-in-law? "
Baili Lu grinned and said, "We can do this, but you can't … I have an elder brother and a younger brother. I have four or five cousins, and more than a dozen brothers and sisters … Even if I, Baili Lu, sacrifice for my family or for my beauty, it's not a big deal. For example, Li Xiaotian has an elder brother, Li Xiaolong. Li Xiaolong is so powerful that he can support the Li family. It's not a bad thing for Li Xiaotian to marry into the Ye family and be the peace ambassador between the two families. "
"You don't consider my and Ye Rou's opinions … This business is really good." Fang Yan sighed and said.
"What business? You put it so bluntly … This is true love. Although Ye Rou doesn't necessarily love us, we love Ye Rou … "
"Then … let's go back to my first question," Fang Yan said with a smile. "Aren't you afraid that Ye Rou will kill you?"
"What about you?" Baili Lu looked at Fang Yan with a bowl of wine in his hand and said, "Like you said, you won't do anything?"
"Ye Rou is responsible for killing people, and I'm responsible for digging holes. I can't bear to let Ye Rou bear such a heavy workload alone … "
"Look, I know it's like this. "If I only consider Ye Rou's opinion, I think I can give it a try …" He thought, "I'm not worse than you, Fang Yan. If I make love to you, Ye Rou may fall in love with me in the future … But if I only consider your opinion, we're brothers. I've helped you. My family forced me to do this … You can't just kill me with a sword." But if I have to consider your and Ye Rou's opinion at the same time, I'm afraid no one dares to accept this marriage, right? The weight of you and Ye Rou together is no less than that of those rich and powerful families … "
"You are a smart man," Fang Yan said as he looked at Baili Lu with a bowl of wine in his hand. "Come on, let me toast you."
"Because I didn't steal your woman?"
"No …" Fang Yan shook his head and said, "Because you made the right choice. You should know that I will really kill people. I've already killed Bai Xiu … "
Baili Lu clinked his bowl with Fang Yan's and said, "Some people are not easy to kill."
"Then kill them slowly," Fang Yan said. "Anyway, I'm not too busy now."
…
…
Once upon a time, there was a mountain called Monkey Mountain.
There was a Taoist temple on the mountain, and there were a group of old monks in the temple.
The Taoist temple was located on the mountainside of Monkey Mountain, built against the cliff. Half of the Taoist temple was suspended in the air. From a distance, it looked like it was flying in the clouds.
Because of the rain, the mountain was blurred and the fog was rolling. The entire Taoist temple was shrouded by the rain and the fog.
The Taoist priests in the temple were doing their evening classes in the One Mind Temple. There were also a few old Taoist priests in the kitchen, preparing dinner for the Taoist temple.
Such a tranquil and comfortable scene, every day passed in this manner. In the past few decades, it was rarely broken by anything.
However, today was not an ordinary day.
On the cliff of the Taoist temple, a black figure was climbing along the cliff. His posture was calm and his speed was fast. He looked as if he was walking on flat ground.
From the bottom to the top, he was like an agile old monkey or a soaring eagle. His body was almost flying toward the outer wall of the Taoist temple.
The tips of his feet lightly touched the protruding but precipitous rocks, and then he stepped on a large rock even higher up.
When his body reached the top of the Void Suspension Temple, his body paused for a moment. He lowered his voice and looked around.
Then his body jumped down like a bat and quietly entered the window of the Void Suspension Temple.
There was no one in the room, nor was there any sound. He could not even hear a person's breathing or pulse. This was something he had already inquired about when he came in.
He did not stop and continued to climb until he reached the door of a locked room on the top floor.
He pressed his palm on the golden lock, and his inner strength burst forth. With a slight 'ding', the copper lock automatically bounced open.
He held the lock in his hand, pushed open the door, and entered.
The room was dark, but it was not a problem for the black-clothed man. He didn't even need a flashlight to walk around the house freely.
For martial artists of their level, night vision was not a very impressive skill.
There were rows of bookshelves in front of him, and there were all kinds of books and ancient books on them.
The room was filled with a strong scholarly atmosphere, but there was no smell of decay. Instead, there was a faint fragrance.
The black-clothed man reached out and quickly searched through the books, looking for a place where the treasure could be hidden.
In a very inconspicuous small house in the Taoist temple, a young Taoist was sitting on a chair, drowsily sleeping.
Perhaps he was startled by the thunder outside, but he suddenly opened his eyes and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the surveillance image on the TV screen in front of him and the figure busy in the dark room, the young Taoist became excited and ran towards the One Hearted Sect View next door. Lowering his voice, he shouted, "Master, Master … Grand Master, someone's here to steal the Taichi Painting again! Someone's here to steal the Taichi Painting again …"
