Chapter 171 Gnomes(1/2)
The magistrate Wu Yuan came to Xiyuan and saw that his concubine had not left yet. He was furious and scolded him sternly, directing his followers to take the person away. Then he came back to the gate of the garden and sighed to Hu Guiyang: "'It is difficult for women and villains to raise. If they are close, they are not inferior. If they are far away, they are resentful.' The words of the sage are indeed correct. I think before this woman joined our mansion, she was just a trick in the world. She laughed in front of others and didn't dare to say anything bad. Now she is actually arrogant."
Hu Guiyang smiled and said nothing, watching the concubines and maids walk by. This was a very impolite act, but he didn't care. He didn't take his gaze until the group walked out of the garden gate.
There are no dwarfs among those.
Wu Yuan was a little embarrassed, "Person Hu was young and promising. How dare you ask which daughter he married in the capital?"
"I have no money, and I am still alone." Hu Guiyang raised his hand and patted the prefect on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Your is yours. I am not interested. I want to ask you, is there a dwarf in the garden?"
Wu Yuan glanced at the place on his shoulder, and it was even more embarrassing. He was a prefect of the place, and his rank was far higher than that of the lieutenant, so that all the other party's intimate actions seemed disrespectful.
"It's hard to raise a woman or a villain." Wu Yuan said this again in his heart, but said, "Are you talking about A Yin? Old Chen, where has A Yin gone?"
The clerk of the execution room ran over and sweated, "A Yin? I'm still here just now, I'll go find it..."
"I'm here." A voice said, Hu Guiyang turned around and found that the dwarf was standing behind. I don't know when it arrived, but no one of the three people saw it.
Of course, the dwarf is not tall, with red and green clothes, thick white powder on his face, his eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth are outlined by paintbrushes, and two snatchers are combed on his head, and two red belts are almost hanging to the ground.
This is a strange guy. At first glance, Hu Guiyang couldn't tell whether this person was a man or a woman or an old or a young man.
But Wu Yuan only thought the dwarf was a low-key man and waved: "Go and go and find the bee girl."
A Yin didn't move and looked up at the guest.
Hu Guiyang also stared at him, "He can stay."
Wu Yuan was very surprised and opened his mouth to say something, and immediately changed his mind, "Okay, A Yin stay, Lao Chen, you can leave, what else does Captain Hu need?"
"It's gone, just let my people come in later."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wu Yuan bowed his hand and left with a smile. He raised his hand to wipe his sweat as soon as he arrived outside the park. If he had known that there were so many strange things in Yunyang Prefecture, he would not have come to be the prefect.
Hu Guiyang took a few steps back and smiled and said, "How old are you? Let me guess, you should be... 60 years old?"
A Yin suddenly jumped up. Although he was short, he jumped tall and his movements were very fast. Before Hu Guiyang could react, he had already knocked hard on his forehead.
Hu Guiyang almost burst into tears in pain, "Hey, you guy..."
"This is a punishment for you to disrespect your elders."
"I've said you're sixty years old..."
A Yin was about to jump up again, Hu Guiyang took another step back, "A hundred years old, are you one hundred years old?"
"How old you are doesn't matter, but you have to respect me."
Hu Guiyang looked at A Yin's colorful clothes, "Does the people in this mansion respect you very much?"
"They haven't learned the Heavenly Secret Art or the Fire God Art, so there's no need to respect me."
"So you recognize me?"
A Yin walked towards Xiaolou with his hands on his back. Hu Guiyang was stunned for a while and followed.
"Of course I recognize you, but what are you doing here?"
"Uh... let's talk about what you're doing here first? Are there no suitable clothes for your home?"
A Yin stopped and said sternly: "You can live until now because of luck. Do you have no self-knowledge?"
"I heard your tone, not only know me, but also know me very well, but I really haven't seen you. Aren't you Wen Kongshou?"
"I am the third of the Twelve Elders, and my real name is Wenkongyin."
"Oh, it turns out that the twelve elders are the twelve earthly branches. It's such a coincidence that in the Guinfang Captain of Xianansi, the Heavenly Stems Ranking, and the Forty-Enrolled Son of the Zhao family ranks 36. I'll ask, why are you called A Yin and not A Hu? I think it's more suitable." Hu Guiyang was unrestrained by nature. When he saw such a strange dwarf, he couldn't control his mouth at all. He felt that there were countless witty words brewing in his stomach and would blurt out at any time.
A Yin was furious and was about to speak. Several people came into the park. Fan Dajian was the first. Feng Feng and Huohuo came, and he didn't notice the dwarf at all. "He Wu Madman ran away?"
"Running?"
"Go to find his sister."
"Let him go." Hu Guiyang did not regard the He brothers, Zhao Aqi and others as subordinates, so he did not regard their departure as betrayal.
Zhang Wuchen looked around, "Will we live here in the future? It looks..." He was shocked when he saw the dwarf who looked weird.
Xiaocao ran over, touched the dwarf's head, and smiled and said, "Who is this little guy?"
Shang Lu brought three followers into the park last time. When he saw the dwarf, he looked surprised and returned to normal. He said nothing and watched from a distance.
Among the people, only Hu Guiyang and Shang Lu understood the important meaning of "dwarf".
The number of people suddenly increased. A Yin was a little confused. He was touched by the grass and became even more confused. He suddenly laughed, sang a nursery rhyme, and jumped into the building.
Xiaocao smiled from ear to ear, "The little guy is so interesting, what is his name?"
"A Yin, you can call him Xiaohu."
"The name Xiaohu sounds better." Xiaocao made up his mind to call him Xiaohu in the future.
The others entered the building to arrange the room, and Hu Guiyang welcomed Shang Lu.
Shang Lu signaled his followers to walk away, led Hu Guiyang out a few steps, and whispered: "This person..."
"After observing, it's better for a new place to live, as it may not be very safe."
"It's okay, if you don't find out the Danyuan, it will be unsafe to me."
The two of them were walking around in circles at the same time. The West Garden was not too small, but they could see it at a glance. It was twenty or thirty meters long from north to south, more than ten meters wide from east to west, with many flowers and trees, but there were no different species. It was built with a two-story building, a pavilion, and two independent wooden houses, which looked very ordinary and had no special features.
Shang Lu said: "I will send someone to measure the distance in detail. You are responsible for the dwarf and find out what happened to him."
"Okay. Which room do you want to live in?"
Xiaocao's excited shout came from the building. She had obviously chosen a room. Shang Lu smiled and said, "Here you are an official, I am a civilian, I live in a wooden house, you live in a building."
Shang Lu led three followers to the wooden house, whispered a few words to the Taoist priest, and ordered him to go and measure the distance carefully.
Hu Guiyang entered the building, and Fan Dajian and Zhang Wuchen were chatting downstairs.
"The upstairs have been occupied, you can squeeze downstairs with us." Fan Dajian said.
Hu Guiyang didn't pick on the spot and nodded, "Where is A Yin?"
"This dwarf is quite strange. When he looks at me, he smiles like a fool, but when he looks at Zhang Wuchen, he has a stern face, as if he is borrowing him thousands of taels of silver."
Zhang Wuchen smiled bitterly and said, "I swear, I have never seen him in my life."
Zhang Wuchen had never learned the Tianji Art and the Fire God Art, and had only used jade pendants in the incense burner. He was actually regarded as a "junior disciple" by A Yin.
Hu Guiyang stepped upstairs.
Xiaocao has also practiced the Fire God Art, but his treatment is different from Hu Guiyang and Zhang Wuchen. A Yin is actually painting her eyebrows and putting on makeup!
Hu Guiyang stood at the door and was stunned. It was the first time these two people met. After just a few words, they were so familiar that they could apply makeup on each other's faces.
The bee girl left in a hurry and almost took away anything. A Yin was in the building every day, bringing out all the makeup and having fun with Xiaocao.
The grass can only be scribble. A Yin originally had three points like a human, but now he has not left a single point, but his makeup skills are excellent. If you draw it here and apply it a little there, it will turn the grass into a person.
When he found Hu Guiyang standing at the door, Xiaocao hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't look."
A Yin was originally very excited to paint, but when he saw Hu Guiyang, his face changed immediately, and he couldn't cover up even the heavy makeup.
"You are... unfair." Hu Guiyang said in surprise.
"You want to draw too?" A Yin asked coldly.
Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "You can joke too."
"Hmph, the little girl is simple in her heart and shouldn't learn the Fire God Art."
Xiaocao stood up, "I'm not stupid, why can't I learn?"
Hu Guiyang said: "Xiaocao, go down first and let me say a few words to A Yin."
"I want to live in this room." Xiaocao declared.
"Well, it must be yours. You are...so well drawn."
Xiaocao covered her face and ran away from Hu Guiyang. As soon as she went out, she took out a towel and wiped her face so that she would not be laughed at by others after going downstairs.
Hu Guiyang looked at A Yin. This dwarf not only dressed in a weird way, but also had an unpredictable personality.
Before Hu Guiyang could speak, A Yin first said, "You have nothing to do with Yunyang Mansion. Take the little girl away and leave immediately."
"There will be a big deal in Yunyang."
"That has nothing to do with you. Your use is to arouse people's interest in Wenjiazhuang and Wenjia magical artifacts. You did a good job, but it was not your own credit. That's enough."
Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "Before he was caught, everything here had something to do with me."
"What million?"
"Yes, my mission is to capture him alive, but I would rather kill him on the spot."
"OK."
"Hmm?" Hu Guiyang didn't understand what this answer meant.
"You can go and kill He Baiwan. I'll tell you his whereabouts, and then you go and take the little girl away."
"What's this? Why is it useless to you Wenjiazhuang?"
