Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]
Chapter 42 Chapter 42
The sound of bamboo flutes and the graceful singing and dancing.
Young girls in exotic colored dresses gathered together, holding flowers in their hands and singing loudly, gently shaking their wrists, and the sound of bells accompanied the beautiful singing, making it even more melodious.
The sturdy man, wearing a ferocious beast mask, swayed his body to the rapid drum beats on the central altar. The dance was so fast that it was dazzling, but it also had an inexplicable attraction that made people unable to take their eyes away.
On the other side of the stands, an old shaman sat in the middle, surrounded by a group of childish children aged five or six who were watching the dance on the altar with great interest.
Qingluo quickly jumped onto the stands, sat down next to the old witch, and shouted, "Grandma Man!"
Grandma Man slowly turned her head, with a kind and gentle smile on her wrinkled old face.
"Where did Xiao Qingluo go?"
"I went to pick up two friends! They came to play!"
While Qingluo was shouting in her ear, she waved to Yan Shengyi and Song Xu who were still standing in the stands, signaling them to come up.
Grandma Man narrowed her eyes and looked at the two figures getting closer and closer. A strange light flashed in her eyes. The speed was so fast that even Qingluo beside her didn't notice it.
Qingluo pointed at the two of them and introduced them to her loudly.
"Grandma Man, that's the proprietress of Gouyue Tower. You've seen her before! The one next to her in white is her partner!"
Grandma Man nodded with a smile and said slowly:
"I have seen it, I remember it."
Qingluo also laughed, deliberately made an exaggerated expression of surprise, and said:
"Wow, grandma has such a good memory. Do you still remember the boss lady?"
Grandma Man glanced at Qingluo slowly and said nothing.
Qingluo: I felt looked down upon.
"Grandma Man, long time no see, you are still in good health."
Yan Shengyi brought Song Xu to them. Knowing that her hearing was not very good, he took the initiative to greet the old lady loudly.
Song Xu also bowed to her and said obediently, "Hello, grandma."
"Well, hello little girl."
Grandma Man looked at Song Xu with a smile, then turned her gaze to Yan Shengyi's face.
"Miss Yan, do you still remember that when you first came to Luoke Village, I told you your fortune?"
Yan Shengyi was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it carefully, and finally dug out a general impression from his distant memory.
"I remember that grandma calculated my fate at that time."
"Yes, fate is one after another, it cannot be cut off, and it cannot be abandoned."
As Grandma Man spoke with emotion, she patted the seat beside her, indicating that the two should sit over there.
Song Xu and Yan Sheng also sat down next to each other. Song Xu kept his eyes on Grandma Man, always feeling that there was something hidden in the mysterious words she said.
Granny Man seemed to avoid Song Xu's sight inadvertently, looked at Yan Shengyi, and continued to ask:
"Then do you still remember the hexagram I explained to you?"
This is indeed a vague memory. Yan Shengyi shook his head and said uncertainly: "Probably some bad things. You know, I don't really believe this."
"Hehe, divination is not credible, but some things still exist. Right, little girl?"
Grandma Man laughed out loud, then met Song Xu's slightly inquiring gaze.
Song Xu nodded. The system already existed, so nothing was impossible.
"Grandma Man, do you remember the fate you calculated for Shengsheng?"
"Of course I remember. Although I am old, I still have a good memory!"
"Yes, yes, grandma's memory is better than many young people in the village."
Qingluo, who finally had the chance to speak, couldn't help but want to dance, but it was a pity that Song Xu and the other man's willpower was all on Grandma Man.
Granny Man raised her hand and patted Qingluo's head, then turned around and talked to the two of them. She looked at the two of them with a kind smile on her face.
"It is Miss Yan's fate that a shallow kinship relationship cannot be saved, but a deep love relationship will last for generations."
Yan Shengyi and Song Xu looked at each other, then asked in disbelief:
"Grandma, what does this mean?"
"Don't ask, don't ask, just understand it yourself"
As she spoke, Grandma Man smiled and took out a small bag from the square cloth bag at her waist and handed it to Yan Shengyi.
"Here, open it and take a look."
Yan Shengyi gently untied the straps of the small bag, revealing two silver bracelets inside.
Song Xu took the small bag from her and took out two silver bracelets.
There are two thin-edged cloud patterns on the silver bracelet, and a small bell is embedded in the joint. If you shake it gently, you can hear the crisp sound of the bell, which is very characteristic of Luoke Village.
“Is this a lover’s bracelet?”
"Yes, it's only for lovers~"
Qingluo poked her head out and watched with a smile as the two of them put bracelets on each other.
Silver bracelet on wrist, jingling bells.
Song Xu shook the bracelet on her wrist, listening to the sound of the bell, and unconsciously felt happier.
Yan Shengyi watched her swinging the bracelet with a faint smile on her face, and he also moved his wrist. The pleasant sounds of the bells mixed together, unable to be distinguished from each other.
Lovers in the world are always the most content.
Grandma Man smiled with some nostalgia, her eyes fell on the altar in the center, as if she saw the past.

As the dusk deepened, even the swan-feather-white snow could not escape the inky night and finally melted into a gray mass.
Wu Qingpeng's carriage slowly stopped in front of the entrance of Gouyue Tower. Yan Sheng also helped Song Xu get off and walked quickly into the gate.
It started snowing heavily when they left Luoke Village, and the snow kept falling on the way back. Even though they were sitting in the carriage, they could still feel the biting cold.
There were only a few windproof lanterns hanging in the empty lobby. Song Xu took a quick look and found that the waiters were nowhere to be seen. Only a little firelight could be seen in the backyard. It seemed that everyone went to the backyard to warm themselves by the fire.
"A Xu, go upstairs first. There is a brazier upstairs. I'll get some hot water and come back up."
Yan Shengyi hurriedly pushed Song Xu upstairs, took off his cloak and stuffed it into her arms, rubbed his hands, and quickly went to the backyard.
Song Xu was holding the cloak, and it was too late to call her, so he had to go upstairs first.
Yan Shengyi walked through the open backyard in a few quick steps and entered the kitchen. As soon as he entered, he found that all the waiters were gathered together, wearing black night clothes. Yan Shengyi's expression suddenly became sharp, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he shouted in a low voice:
"what happened?"
The waiters dispersed in silence, revealing Wu Qian, who was sitting at the back, also dressed in black.
Wu Qian withdrew his hands from the fire, slowly stood up, and walked towards Yan Shengyi with an obvious expression of joy on his face.
"I have good news for you."
Yan Sheng also frowned and took a step back to keep some distance.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't get so close."
Seeing Yan Shengyi's disgusted action, Wu Qian's mouth twitched and he stopped smiling.
"Okay. I have to thank Miss Ning for this good news. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have caught Ning Zhen, and we wouldn't have learned so many secrets from him that we wouldn't even know in our dreams."
"What secret? What does it have to do with Ah Xu?"
Yan Shengyi stared at her closely in an instant, with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Wu Qian was used to it and waved his hand:
"It has nothing to do with Miss Ning, but it has a lot to do with you and us."
She laughed, and her smile was charming yet vicious, just in line with her reputation as a poison doctor.
Yan Shengyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed forward to grab her arm, with an urgent look on his face.
"What on earth is it?"
"Our enemy! We found him!"
Wu Qian smiled slightly crazily, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes, but his words were extremely gentle.
"Who?!"
Yan Sheng also grabbed her arm tightly, and the murderous intent in his cold eyes grew stronger.
Wu Qian tugged at her tightly grasped hand, then raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and completely stopped smiling. He exuded a harmless aura, just like the usual doctor Wu who saved the world. But he was more like a man-eating beast hidden in the abyss, dangerous and deadly.
She raised her eyes and met Yan Sheng's gaze, her expression indifferent, and she said softly, "Puzhou Langshi."
The Puzhou Lang Clan is the second largest clan in the martial arts world, second only to the Ning Clan led by the martial arts leader Ning Xiong. It is also a great and kind clan praised by everyone in the martial arts world. The current head of the Lang Clan, Lang Ming, is respectfully called "Lang Qiankun" by everyone, which means "bright and clear".
"Lang clan? Lang Qiankun? What a kind clan! What a bright and beautiful world!"
He clenched his fists, veins on the back of his hands showing. Yan Sheng also sneered, anger and hatred rising in his heart, but also inexplicably sad.
Wu Qian walked to the half-open window and looked at the snow falling heavier and heavier outside, as if it was going to submerge the entire earth and bury this world at the same time.
After a long while, she spoke in a leisurely voice.
"Yeah, who would have thought? The enemy who slaughtered all our relatives and neighbors would give out porridge to us when we were homeless on the streets. Oh, it's really ridiculous. Well, the enemy saved the enemy?"
Yan Sheng also closed his eyes, gradually suppressed the murderous aura in his body, looked at her and asked:
"So, now we are heading to Puzhou?"
Wu Qian: “Yes.”
Yan Shengyi: "Everyone?"
"What else? Oh, you want to bring Miss Ning with you?"
Wu Qian turned to look at her with a fake smile on his face.
"I advise you not to do that. In addition to the Lang family, there is also the Wulin Alliance in Puzhou. Ning Xiong is a very cunning old fox."
"I know, I won't take Ah Xu with me."
Yan Shengyi frowned and walked a few steps to the stove where warm water was. He opened the lid of the pot with one hand, grabbed the ladle beside it with the other hand, and quickly scooped out all the hot water in the pot.
Wu Qian stared in disbelief as she scooped two buckets full of hot water and walked out with the buckets, and quickly stopped her.
"What are you doing now? Why don't you come with us?!"
"A Xu is still waiting upstairs. I need to tell her."
After saying that, Yan Shengyi picked up the bucket and walked around her.
Wu Qian heard this and snorted coldly:
"Since you don't want her to go, do you really dare to tell her that you are going to massacre the entire Lang family? Don't forget that her mother Ning Yin was forced to death by Ning Xiong because she didn't want to marry into the Lang family."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Wait for me for an incense stick of time."
Yan Shengyi did not stop, he pushed hard with his toes, leaped up, and landed steadily on the other side, without spilling the two buckets of water in his hands.
Song Xu spread out the two cloaks and hung them on the screen, then sat down next to the brazier, and saw Yan Shengyi come in carrying two buckets of water.
She quickly stood up and went to take it, but Yan Sheng also moved aside and walked towards the inner room while saying:
"Ah Xu, go get some clothes and take a shower to get rid of the cold."
Song Xu didn't suspect anything and turned to the closet to get clothes for both of them.
Yan Shengyi poured two buckets of hot water into the bathtub, reached out to test the temperature, and then smiled and said to Song Xu who came in with clothes:
"A Xu, you wash first. There's not enough water. I'll go down and boil some more."
Song Xu walked closer and took a look at the bathtub which was half filled with water. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, Shengsheng, come and take a bath with me. It will be too much trouble to boil water again."
If this sentence had been said in the past, Yan Shengyi would have agreed immediately without blinking an eye. However, everyone in the kitchen was waiting, and her heart sank.
"No, no, no, Ah Xu, you should wash first. I, I, I'm not ready yet. Well, I'd better go boil some water. Haha."
Yan Shengyi's face flushed red, and then he ran out with two empty buckets.
Song Xu looked at her fleeing figure with a bit of amusement, and shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to take off his clothes, Yan Shengyi poked his head in again.
Facing Song Xu's alert gaze, she smiled a little embarrassedly and said:
"A Xu, go to bed after you're done washing. Don't wait for me. I might take a little longer."
Song Xu smiled and nodded, "Okay."
However, after Song Xu finished washing and went to bed, she sat there for a long time holding the hot water bottle buried in the quilt and did not hear the footsteps of Yan Shengyi coming up the stairs.
Song Xu couldn't sit still any longer. He suppressed his uneasiness, got out of bed and opened the tightly closed window. He looked down and saw that the backyard was dark without any fire.
She suddenly turned around and looked at the screen. There were originally two cloaks, one gray and one white, hanging on it. Now there was only a touch of white, and the gray was nowhere to be seen.
33: [Host, please note! Miss Shu Shengyi's mission completion rate is 100%. In addition, after system detection, the current distance between the host and the one-to-one binding person, Miss Shu Shengyi, is fifteen kilometers.]
