Linghu Chong flew home at the fastest speed. At this time, his heart was full of guilt. He was just depressed and went out to drink, but he went out for three to four hours. He didn't know if Yingying would be angry. At this time, his heart was inexplicably nervous and afraid.
West Lake Plum Village was silent. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind. Linghu Chong looked around and saw that it was dark everywhere. Only the bedroom had a weak light. Although it was weak, Linghu Chong felt that it was particularly harsh.
Linghu Chong carefully pushed open the door and went in. He found Ren Yingying sitting on a stool with a table full of dishes on the table. Ren Yingying looked up and saw Linghu Chong coming back. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and hugged him.
"Brother Chong, where have you been? I thought you didn't want me anymore. Brother Chong, have you eaten? Do you want me to ask the servants to heat up the food? Brother Chong, you…" Ren Yingying was very flustered. She was afraid of losing Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong looked at Ren Yingying and said," I was just annoyed and went out for a walk. Don't worry, I won't leave you behind." Ren Yingying heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. The big stone in her heart was put down. Brother Chong, why don't I drink with you?" Linghu Chong no longer had tears in his eyes.
" Yingying, I'm tired. I'm going to take a shower. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you should go and rest too," Ling Huchong said lazily. Ren Yingying was extremely disappointed when she heard this. She looked dejected, as if someone owed her tens of thousands of taels. Seeing that Yingying was unhappy, she said," I'll go shopping with you tomorrow. Let's rest early tonight, okay?"”When Ren Yingying heard this, she beamed and said," Then I'll sleep early tonight. Let's go shopping tomorrow."
Ling Huchong took off his coat and went into the bathtub to take a bath. Ren Yingying picked up Linghu Chong's clothes. He wanted to hand them over to the servants to wash, but he found that Linghu Chong's clothes had a touch of red inside. He took it out and saw that it was a brocade handkerchief with plum blossoms embroidered on it. It was very beautiful. A burst of fragrance rushed over, but Ren Yingying felt that it was so pungent.
" This is clearly a girl's item. Why does Brother Chong have this? Could it be that he…" Ren Yingying didn't dare to continue thinking. At this time, Linghu Chong seemed to be almost done washing. Ren Yingying immediately put down her clothes and went to bed to pretend to sleep. After a while, Ling Huchong also went to bed and fell into a deep sleep. Ren Yingying got up and saw a smile on his face. The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger. At this time, Ren Yingying could not fall asleep. She had a premonition that something was going to happen. Just like that, he stared at the top of the bed and did not sleep for the whole night.
The next day, the sun was still rising slowly. Hundreds of birds were singing. You sang and I echoed. You called and I responded. There were far and near. Hundreds of birds were contending and flowers bloomed. It was a fresh and cheerful morning.
At this time, everything on the street was shrouded in the soft morning light. The willow trees by the road lowered their heads and gently accepted the morning light shower. The tall and straight poplar tree was like a strong youth stretching his arms; The grass revealed a faint green from the moisture.
Linghu Chong opened his eyes. He had a good sleep last night. He saw Ren Yingying beside him with her eyes closed. Linghu Chong did not disturb him. He got up, put on his clothes, opened the door, stretched, and walked to the garden.
Ren Yingying saw that Linghu Chong had already left, so she opened her eyes and slowly stood up. At this time, there were a lot of doubts in her heart. He had not slept last night and had a terrible headache.
Ling Huchong saw that Yingying had already woken up and said,"Yingying, come and have breakfast. After breakfast, we'll go out and go shopping." Yingying did not have the appetite to eat breakfast at this time. She only responded and sat down to eat the porridge. She stopped after she picked up the bowl of porridge. That handkerchief kept appearing in his mind. Whose handkerchief was it? Whose handkerchief was it?
"Yingying, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Linghu Chong saw that Yingying had been in a daze for a long time, so he shook his hand. Yingying seemed to have woken up from a dream and said," It's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little energetic..."
"What's wrong, Yingying? Are you not feeling well? Why don't we go shopping another day? Your health is more important."
" No need, Brother Chong. I'm not a rich lady. I'm also a Jianghu person. This bit of tiredness is nothing," Ren Yingying quickly replied, afraid that Linghu Chong would not take her shopping.
" By the way, Brother Chong, did you meet anyone when you went out yesterday?" Ren Yingying finally asked.
"Nothing, I just met a friend and drank with him and forgot the time. Let's not talk about it anymore, hurry up and eat!”Ling Huchong didn't care about Ren Yingying's expression and was just eating. Ren Yingying was disappointed and didn't ask further.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.
Linghu Chong walked to the door in a few steps. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a handsome young master standing in front of him. Wasn't this Brother Dong from yesterday? "Brother Dong, why are you here?" "I was just talking about you. Come in and sit down." Ling Huchong was delighted to see his drinking partner.
At this time, Dongfang saw that Linghu Chong was very happy and said,"What are you doing here?" I'm here to ask for the money for yesterday's drinks. Do you want to renege on your debt?”Dongfang knocked on Linghu Chong's forehead. Linghu Chong was confused. This action was familiar and intimate. By the time he came back to his senses, Dongfang had already stepped into the garden and walked straight into the inner hall. (End of Chapter)
Is this happiness?
Dongfang walked straight into the inner hall and saw Ren Yingying sitting at the table eating breakfast. She seemed to have a heavy heart and was absent-minded. She did not know that someone had come in... Linghu Chong trotted all the way and followed Dongfang. He quickly said,"Yingying, there's a guest at home!" Linghu Chong said excitedly, but he didn't know where the excitement came from.
Ren Yingying turned her head and saw an elegant young master standing in front of her. This person had a fair face, bright big eyes, long eyelashes, and a lake-blue hat on his head.
"Yingying, let me introduce you. This is Brother Dong. We met in the tavern yesterday. Brother Dong, this is…"
Before he could finish, Dongfang interrupted him and said," This must be sister-in-law, right? Sister-in-law Furen, this one is polite.
Ren Yingying looked at this Young Master Dong in front of her and felt that she had seen him before. She looked at him carefully and found that his lips were red and his teeth were white. The panic in her heart just now became even more serious. However, she also said,"Young Master Dong, I am Ren Yingying." She continued to size up the person in front of her and thought," Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?
Linghu Chong saw the two of them salute each other and patted Dongfang's shoulder, saying,"Brother Dong, what's wrong?" You came to my house as a guest after not seeing me for a day. Could it be that you really came for the money for yesterday's drinks?”At this moment, he had a relaxed smile on his face and completely ignored his wife who was standing at the side.
"Is that money worth me making a trip early in the morning? Oh right, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Linghu Chong, what else do you have to eat? Bring me some food. Just treat it as paying me back for yesterday's wine!”Dongfang wasn't polite, he didn't care about Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying and sat down. Seeing Linghu Chong stunned, he said,"Is there anything to eat?" Could it be that a dignified hero was afraid of guests coming to eat?”
"No, no, I'll go and bring it to Brother Dong now.”Linghu Chong walked to the kitchen and found that there was still some breakfast, so he brought it all over. After Linghu Chong was gone, Ren Yingying stood behind Dongfang and looked at his back. She felt that he was very familiar, but she couldn't remember. Dongfang stroked his beard and asked,"What's wrong with Madam?" Do you not welcome me?" Ren Yingying came back to her senses and said,"No, no, Brother Chong's friend is my friend. Since Brother Dong is a guest at our Mei Zhuang, we naturally welcome him." He slowly walked to his seat from the east side. Just as he was about to sit down, she was shocked to find that this Young Master Dong in front of her actually had pierced ears. How could this be? Could it be that this Young Master Dong was a woman?
Linghu Chong jogged over and brought breakfast over. Dongfang didn't wait for Linghu Chong to put it down before he picked up a bowl of porridge and started drinking it, as if he hadn't eaten for days. Linghu Chong was very happy when he saw this and said,"Brother Dong, slow down. Congee isn't wine, you have to drink it slowly." At this moment, Ren Yingying had an indescribable fear in her heart. Ever since she married Brother Chong, she had never felt this way. Who was the person in front of her? Was it a man or a woman? Did I know him before? After a short while, Dongfang finished the large bowl of porridge. She said," I didn't expect sister-in-law's cooking to be so good. A bowl of porridge can also be so delicious."
" This is not Yingying's doing. Yingying never cooks because of her health," Linghu Chong quickly explained.
" Master Linghu really cares about his wife. Madam is so lucky." Dongfang wiped the corner of his mouth and took out his flute from his waist." I came to return your things today out of kindness. You were in a hurry to leave yesterday and didn't even take this flute back. I came here today to return it to you." Dongfang handed the flute to Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong then said with a frown," I came back too hurriedly yesterday and forgot about it. If I lost it, it would be too late for me to regret." He quickly took the flute and put it on his waist. Dongfang was very happy to hear him say that, while Ren Yingying was full of worries.
Ling Huchong put away the bowl and chopsticks and said to Ying Ying,"Ying Ying, since Brother Dong came to visit us today, let's go shopping another day." Ren Ying Ying was not in the mood to go shopping at this time. Hearing Ling Huchong's words, although she was disappointed, she nodded and agreed. Ling Huchong was relieved.
Brother Dong, I'll bring you to visit this Plum Blossom Manor. Although this residence can't compare to the gardens in Suzhou, it has a unique flavor." Linghu Chong walked towards the garden. Dongfang had a folding fan in his hand as he followed behind Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong, let's see how many more surprises you can give me today.
" Brother Dong, this is the garden of the Plum Blossom Village. There are hundreds of kinds of flowers here. The garden is fragrant all year round. Take a look," Ling Huchong said with a relaxed and proud smile.
Dongfang nodded and said,"It's indeed very unique." Before they knew it, they had seen four or five sceneries in the plum grove. Linghu Chong wanted to bring Dongfang to his plum garden, which was the wine cellar.
Ren Yingying watched the two of them walk side by side from afar. A sour feeling welled up in her heart, and the fear in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"Brother Chong, why don't you guys eat some fruits first?”Ren Yingying intentionally interrupted them.
Linghu Chong looked at Yingying expectantly.
Linghu Chong looked at Dongfang, wanting to see what she thought. Dongfang said,"Anyway, I'm a little tired from walking. Let's sit down and rest."
The three of them sat on the stone bench. After a while, two servants brought in a few plates of fruit. There were lychees from Lingnan, oranges from Zhejiang, and pears from the northwest...
"Brother Chong, we've been walking for so long. Come, have an orange?”Ren Yingying quickly peeled an orange and handed it to Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong looked at Yingying and said," Brother Dong is a guest. How can we eat first? Come, Brother Dong, this orange is for you." As she spoke, she took the orange and handed it to Dongfang. Yingying looked disappointed as she looked at Linghu Chong and muttered something.
" Master Linghu and his wife are really in love. I'm so envious. Master Linghu, you should eat it. Besides, I don't like oranges," Dongfang replied calmly. She picked up the lychee beside her and started peeling it by herself.
Ren Yingying was very happy when she heard that. She quickly looked at Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong was very uncomfortable by this gaze. He stuffed half of the orange into his mouth and ate it. However, his mouth was tasteless, so he put the remaining half on the table.
Dongfang suddenly thought of something and said to Linghu Chong," Master Linghu, I heard that this Plum Blossom Manor is owned by four seniors in Jianghu. They are also known as the Four Friends of Plum Blossom Manor. When did this Plum Blossom Manor belong to you?"”
Linghu Chong hurriedly said,"The four seniors passed away last year, and the servants in this house also left. Therefore, I decided to use this plum farm as my resting place and want to live here until the end of my life."
"Oh, the four seniors have already passed away? Did they die of illness? No wonder there was no news from Jianghu. Dongfang turned his head and didn't look at Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying. At this moment, he was eating the fruit in his hand with relish.
Ling Huchong looked at Yingying and seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated.
Dongfang continued to ask," I heard that sister-in-law was the Sage Nun of the Sun Moon Sect many years ago, but it was widely rumored that sister-in-law was kind-hearted and married Master Linghu. I don't think sister-in-law has killed anyone in her life, right?”Dongfang thought to himself," Linghu Chong, you always say that I'm an evil person who kills without batting an eye. The people I kill are all innocent." Then, your good wife, Yingying, has she never killed anyone from the righteous sects?
Ling Huchong was speechless by this sudden question. Although Yingying had never participated in the Demonic Sect's actions for many years, she still killed a few righteous disciples. Moreover, the Four Friends of Mei Zhuang were actually forced to death by Ren Woxing. This was also related to Yingying. If Yingying had spent so much effort to break into Mei Zhuang and save Ren Woxing, the four of them would not have died. I saved Ren Woxing and harmed the four of them. Was I right?
Ren Yingying was displeased by Dongfang's words. She stared at Dongfang fiercely and thought," This person must be up to no good. I must know who he is.
Just like that, the three of them sat there with their own thoughts." Back then, I thought that Invincible East was a heretic who killed innocent people. But thinking about it carefully, Ren Woxing, Yingying, and I have even killed good people before. Could it be that I am also an heretic?
At this time, Ling Huchong ordered the servants to set up the zither and prepare to play the zither and flute together with Yingying. He said to Dongfang,"Brother Dong, please sit down first. Let Yingying and I play a song for you." The two of them started playing " The Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World." The music was pleasant to the ears, but the mood of the two of them was completely different. Yingying was smiling in her heart, but she couldn't play the carefree and carefree feeling of " The Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World."
" Master Linghu and Madam are really a perfect match. It's really the envy of others. Why don't I cooperate with Brother Linghu and ask Madam to give me some pointers?" Dongfang stood up and walked towards Linghu Chong. He took the vertical flute from Linghu Chong's hand without caring whether Linghu Chong agreed or not and said," You play the piano. I'm not very familiar with the piano."
Linghu Chong sat in front of the zither while Yingying walked to the stone bench. He passed Dongfang and unconsciously looked at Young Master Dong in front of him, feeling indignant. A song," Everlasting Yearning ", was played slowly. It was like a stream flowing, like an oriole singing, like a beautiful woman complaining, like an army marching. Each tune revealed the feeling of longing, and the deep feelings were expressed in words.
After the song was played, Linghu Chong said excitedly,"I didn't expect Brother Dong to be so compatible with me. It seems that I, Linghu Chong, didn't make the wrong friends. Why don't we play another song together?"”Dongfang wanted to agree, but he found Ren Yingying staring at him fiercely from afar. He said," I'm a little tired. I want to sit down and rest."
Just like that, the three of them sat back on the stone bench. Unknowingly, it was already noon.
Ren Yingying looked to the east and said,"Big Brother Dong, why don't you have lunch with us at noon? Let's be good hosts."
Dongfang stood up and looked at Linghu Chong, who seemed to have thought of something. He then said,"How about I borrow your ingredients and let me cook a few dishes for you?"”
Ren Yingying looked at Dong Fang in confusion and said," I didn't expect Brother Dong to know how to cook even though he's a man." He raised the word 'man', then looked at Linghu Chong as if he wanted to say something to him.
" Men can cook too. Otherwise, if he marries a woman who can't cook, he will starve to death." Dongfang Xiang looked at Linghu Chong with his eyes full of smiles. He then turned around and walked straight to the inner hall." Where's the kitchen?"”
Linghu Chong replied,"Just keep turning left."
Yingying looked at the back of the figure that was leaving and pulled Linghu Chong's hand, saying," Brother Chong, I feel that your Brother Dong's expression and behavior are a little strange. It seems like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't remember. I think he came with ill intentions."”
"Yingying, I think you're overthinking things. Brother Dong is only here as a guest today. Besides, I, Ling Huchong, am just a commoner in the pugilistic world.”Linghu Chong comforted Yingying.
" Yingying, don't think too much. I don't think Brother Dong has any ill intentions. Oh, right, I'll go see if Brother Dong needs any help. I'm really sorry to have asked him to cook for us." After saying that, he left Ren Yingying behind and walked towards the kitchen. At this moment, there were tears in Yingying's eyes. Brother Chong, how much do I know about you?
An hour later, there was a table full of delicacies on the table. There was sweet and sour mandarin fish, braised pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, boiled cabbage, and a fat and yellow roast chicken. Ling Huchong took out some wine from the Western Regions and said," Brother Dong, try my best wine. It'll make your trip worthwhile."”。As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and stood it upside down for Dongfang. Dongfang took a sip and a drop of wine spilled from the corner of his mouth. It was as red as blood. Dongfang wiped the corner of his mouth and said,"It's really good wine."
Ren Yingying didn't say a word during the meal. She just ate the dishes silently. The dishes were so delicious, but she felt indifferent and tasteless. Linghu Chong and Dongfang chatted while eating. They were very uncomfortable. They drank glass after glass.
"Good wine, Linghu Chong, your grape wine is very fragrant."
" Brother Dong, your cooking is not bad. I think the famous chefs in the restaurant are not as good as you." The two continued to talk and laugh, completely forgetting Ren Yingying beside them. Ren Yingying felt that she was redundant at this time.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Linghu Chong cleared the bowls and chopsticks. At this time, Yingying frowned at Dongfang and asked," Who the hell are you? What is your purpose for coming to my Plum Village?" Dongfang completely ignored Ren Yingying and simply said," I'm just here to return the flute. I have no other intentions."
Yingying looked like she wouldn't give up. She walked in front of Dongfang and said fiercely," I know you're a woman. What's your motive for getting close to Brother Chong? Who exactly are you?"
Dongfang slowly stood up and turned to look at Yingying. He whispered into her ear," Linghu Chong is your husband now. What can I do? I only hope that you can hold him tightly from now on. Don't let him go. You have to be careful." Dongfang's voice was very soft, but it was full of dominance, which made Yingying very uneasy.
He won't. Chong-ge only has me in his heart, and Chong-ge is the only one in my heart. He won't leave me." Yingying shook her head and said.
'Your heart? Where is your heart? Are you sure you only have Linghu Chong in your heart? Does Ling Huchong only love you?" After saying that, Dongfang walked to the door. At this moment, his mouth was filled with a wicked smile, as if he was the winner. Yingying's mind was filled with the memories of Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong. She didn't know why she would think of these things again. In her mind, Dongfang Bubai and Brother Chong were playing in the water, sleeping in each other's arms in the broken temple, and Dongfang Bubai kissed Linghu Chong on the Black Wood Cliff... At this moment, his heart ached terribly.
Linghu Chong came back from the kitchen and met Dongfang Dao halfway.”
"I have to take my leave now. I still have some matters to attend to at home, so I won't disturb you any further. Oh right, Linghu Chong, why do you still want to drink on the streets when you have such good wine at home?”Dongfang looked at Linghu Chong in confusion.
"That's, that's…"That's because we don't have any good wine companions," Linghu Chong said hurriedly.
"Doesn't that mean I have to come here often in the future?”
" That's great! The door of my Plum Blossom Village is always open for you. Brother Dong, you must come often!" Ling Huchong said with a relaxed and excited expression.
" Alright, I'll definitely come often in the future. Goodbye." Dongfang cupped his fists and walked towards the door.
"Brother Dong, let me send you off." Linghu Chong followed behind Dongfang. He didn't want Dongfang to leave.
The two of them parted ways at the main entrance. Dong Fang slowly walked away, and Linghu Chong softly muttered to himself,"Brother Dong, you must come often." Then, he walked back to the inner room. Dongfang slowly turned around and saw Linghu Chong closing the door. That familiar face was deeply imprinted in his heart again. Was this happiness? Why am I so happy today?
