Chang Dizhihua

Chapter 15 Drunk Forgotten Night

Returning from Shouyang, he walked hundreds of miles away with the sword, but he arrived in a flash.Near the waterway of the Yangtze River, Yun Tianqing fell with his sword, stepped on the shore with both feet, and chanted in a long voice with three points of wine: "I will do it with the hair of the year. Health. The strings are also issued, and the wine is also poured."

Halfway through reading a poem, he suddenly heard a clear voice calling: "Tianqing!"

Yun Tianqing closed his voice, and when he squinted to look, he saw two white figures walking side by side on the ridge on the shore, they turned out to be Xuan Xiao Suyu, he couldn't help being surprised, and waved at them: "I After waiting for a day, you two can be counted."

Su Yu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, stopped in front of him, and sighed: "Senior Brother Xuan Ji hasn't been out of the house all day, we can only sneak out after he falls asleep."

Xuan Xiao also shook his head and said: "After lying down for half a month, my muscles and bones are almost rusting!"

Yun Tianqing laughed loudly after hearing this: "Come here! I'll practice a few moves with you." After speaking, his body moved suddenly, his hands and five fingers stretched out to form palms, and he slapped obliquely towards the two people in front of him. A gust of night wind blew by, The mellow aroma of honey wine on his body immediately wafted away.

He doesn't have a sword in his hand, but castration is exactly Qionghua's swordsmanship. Xuanxiao Suyu has been with him for several years, and this swordsmanship has been fought and dismantled countless times. arm, an understatement.Those two cooperated extremely tacitly, and in addition, they were dressed in white and blue shirts with flowing clouds and long sleeves, under the clear moonlight, they floated like immortals.

The three of them didn't have any intention of competing in their hearts, they used their hands as swords, completely disassembled a set of swordsmanship, and at the same time retreated to close their posture, and stood facing each other beyond Yingchi, all of them looked at each other and smiled.

Xuan Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you go to drink again?"

"You two are late, and you missed a good show." Yun Tianqing replied with a smile, and sat down side by side on the street with the two of them arm in arm. The matter has been said in its entirety, except that Yin Yang and Zi Wei are not mentioned.

Just as we were talking about the wonderful scene, we suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, from far to near, breaking the silence of the night, and even the ground under our feet trembled slightly.Looking as far as the eye can see, the end of the official road is covered with darkness, and the leader can vaguely discern a man with gray temples, with a weathered face, behind him is a team of horses, with a lot of goods on his back, it seems that he has already trekked Desert wind and sand, thousands of mountains and rivers.

There was only a sound of crisp bells, and a bay red horse galloped out of the cargo team, and immediately sat a girl in a red dress and short shirt. The whole team was full of travel and dust, and they were very sleepy, only she was still charming, as if A rhododendron blooming at the beginning of the month.The girl pulled the reins, walked side by side with the man, raised her voice and said, "Uncle Xing, are we still on our way? Let's find a place to rest for the night."

The old man surnamed Xing smacked his lips and said: "Oh, my eldest lady, this is a fake, not a tour. There are many horse thieves and water thieves on the Yangtze River Road. Resting on the road is the most dangerous. I can only wrong you. Work hard for a while, and then have a good rest after entering Anxi City."

"I'm not afraid of hard work." The girl in red turned her head and smiled: "Isn't this the first time I've come out with you to sell goods, how do I know this? You need to give me more advice. If I didn't sneak out, Daddy I don’t know when I will be let out of the house.”

Old Mr. Xing laughed: "Miss has grown up, and the one who will inherit the family business in the future should come out to practice and practice."

"Father always treats me like a child! Besides, thieves are not all bad guys. Brother Han is the best to me."

"Don't mention your little brother Han again. The master was so angry with you a while ago. I said, miss, why did you want to see a tomb robber? The master is also doing it for your own good—"

The girl in red quickly interrupted his words: "Stop, stop! Uncle Xing, if you call him a thief again, I will get angry! I can make up my own mind, and no one else can care about me!" Bo Nu, a bit shy, flattered the horse and galloped forward, leaving Mr. Xing alone behind shaking his head and sighing.

The young girl was upset, when she ran past Qing Xiaoyu and the other three, she waved her whip and said loudly: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!"

Yun Tianqing had heard her earlier conversation clearly, thinking that this little girl was really interesting, she smiled and stepped aside.When the girl saw him smiling, she became even more angry, and immediately raised her voice: "What are you laughing at?!"

Just as he was talking, Mr. Xing had already caught up. Seeing someone here, he knew that he was not far from the town. He was overjoyed, and turned around to yell at the caravan behind him: "Everyone, come on, hurry up, Anxi City! We're here!" The accompanying porters and merchants were all refreshed when they heard this, and urged their horses to move forward quickly.

Afterwards, he grabbed the reins of the bay red horse that the girl was riding, pulled her away, reined in the horse, stepped forward, and apologized to Yun Tianqing and the others: "My niece doesn't understand the rules, everyone, please don't be offended. That's right." He has spent most of his life, seeking the safest, no matter who the other party is, he is not willing to offend easily.Seeing that Xuan Xiao replied lightly, it doesn't matter, so he was relieved.

The girl in red glared at Yun Tianqing, then ignored him, turned her head and asked, "Uncle Xing, our horses are tired, we won't stay longer, let them drink some water, and then drive away in one breath." to the city, okay?"

Old Mr. Xing knew that she felt sorry for the horses, so he nodded immediately: "Okay, Miss, come down and have a rest."

The girl in red nodded, jumped off her horse lightly, and sat down on the grass. Everyone in the caravan also got off their horses one after another, and sat on the ground in a dark crowd, letting the horses go to the river bank to eat grass and drink water.It was early summer at this time, the water was clear and the moon was white, and the breeze blew over the reeds on the shore, making a soft rustling sound, creating a quiet and beautiful scene.

Suyu smiled and said, "Old man, are you from the prairie outside the pass?"

Mr. Xing shook his sore shoulder: "Isn't it? I still have to go all the way south. After unloading all the goods, I will change to silk and go back."

"Hey, that's really hard work. The south is not as peaceful as the north."

"I'm used to walking, so I don't think it's a big deal." Mr. Xing replied with a smile. After a while, he asked, "Girl, you three don't look like locals either. Where are you going?"

Suyu sneered: "We are here to play, so we can count where we go."

"It's really enviable!" Old Mr. Xing said with a smile, "I think back when I was young, old man, I would always invite my friends and confidantes to go sightseeing together. In a blink of an eye, I am at this age."

The two of them were chatting when they suddenly heard someone humming a song: "Little red horse, little red horse, your light steps are so delightful. Young girl, if you are my sister, please call me!" Beckon that hand..."

The red-clothed girl was thinking about her own thoughts, and was a little bored. When she heard the singing, she raised her head and found that it was Yun Tianqing who sang. She couldn't help but asked in amazement, "How can you sing the song of our grassland?"

In the past few years, Yun Tianqing has often gone down the mountain to drink in Boxian Town. The place is located at the pass, and the traffickers and pawns who come and go here and there have to rest their feet. There is a lot of fish and dragons, who hasn't seen it?It is not difficult to hum along with a local song.He sang a few lines, then stopped with a smile and said, "If you really like him, why don't you follow him?"

The girl's face turned red, she knew that what she said earlier had been heard by others, and she was not shy about growing up on horseback, she just snorted and said, "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense!"

Yun Tianqing didn't say any more, just continued to sing with a smile.The caravan went all the way south from the prairie in Mobei. After several months, when they heard this song, their homesickness suddenly increased. Some porters who were close to him immediately hummed along with him. The voices of more than twenty people joined together. In the place, the deep and hoarse singing voice was carried leisurely into the distance by the breeze.

Yun Tianqing stopped singing long ago, and just listened intently with his chin resting on his hands.The night is getting deeper, the sky and the earth are full of a clear dark blue, and the sky is full of shining stars. I wonder if the singing can penetrate the night sky and return to the distant hometown?

Xuan Xiao and Su Yu sat beside him cross-legged in silence, thinking about something, suddenly a hand waved in front of their eyes, and Yun Tianqing's voice rang in his ears: "Senior Brother Xuan Xiao, this song Have you heard of it?"

Xuan Xiao shook his head: "I'm not like you running around all day long, how could I have heard of it?"

"Then I'll teach you how to sing?"

"No need!" Xuan Xiao quickly replied.He is very talented in cultivating immortals and martial arts, but he doesn't know anything about melody. Wouldn't it be fun to sing?

Yun Tianqing rolled on his back on the grass, the grass blades stuck to his hair, he didn't care, he just moved to his side, put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile: "I'm sure I won't laugh at you for being tone-deaf. "

Xuan Xiao glanced at him, with a rather helpless expression: "If you want to teach someone to sing, why don't you go to Suyu."

Yun Tianqing's eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Suyu: "That's right! Suyu must sing well, come and sing a few lines."

Suyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know how to sing on the grassland."

"Hey, it doesn't have to be a song on the grassland, as long as it's—oh, yes, as long as it's a love song!"

"...Who can sing those messy songs again?" Suyu tilted her head and thought for a while, her face flushed slightly, "I only know what my mother taught me before."

"Okay, okay, sing quickly." Yun Tianqing raised Xuan Xiao's two hands and made him strike each other a few times.Xuan Xiao glared at him, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and twisted it backward - this move was used by Xuan Xiao when the two of them first entered Qionghua and fought for the quilt. Naturally, the more you use it, the more proficient you become.Yun Tianqing's movement is swift and elegant, and even the head of Taiqing is quite appreciative, but for some reason, he can't avoid this move no matter what.When I accidentally asked Xuan Xiao how to dismantle it, the answer was of course not to teach it. Most of the implication was that if I taught you, kid, how could I grab the quilt from you in the future?

Seeing the two of them, Suyu smiled, and then slowly sang in a low voice: "Yaoyao Lingfeng, a long and long return. I think about it for a long time, and it will never go against my wish. There is no end of time, when will I fly?"

Her singing voice was soft and melodious, but with an indescribable feeling of melancholy, the girl in red listened intently to a passage, her heart felt sour, and she couldn't help asking: "Sister, this song is not the same as ours at all, What is it about?"

Suyu stopped singing and replied: "It's about a woman who misses her lover."

The red-clothed girl frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Why is it always backfired? Whoever you like, just say it out. You southerners—you southerners really don't understand your thoughts."

Seeing that what she said was interesting, Suyu couldn't help laughing slightly, and reached out to stroke her black hair.But I thought in my heart, how can things in this world be so simple?If everything can come true, there won't be so much sadness.Thoughts can be conveyed, but if Yin and Yang are separated, who should I confide in?But looking at her bright and innocent eyes, he didn't say anything after all.

"There is no time for a thousand calamities, when will you fly." Xuan Xiao said in a low voice, "...this word is too sad."

Yun Tianqing hastily interrupted a few people: "Why are you talking about this? You should switch to a happy song and sing~"

Suyu nodded and smiled, "Alright."

Just as he was about to speak again, there was a sudden neighing of horses not far away, and there was a kicking noise from the horses grazing, and the singing in the mouths of the vendors stopped immediately.Mr. Xing's expression was fixed, and he stood up immediately: "Go and see what's going on!" The girl in red frowned, and ran to the riverside with him without asking any further questions.

Before he could walk a few steps, he heard the hooves of the horses scrambling, and a steed slammed left and right, and rushed out from among the horses. Riding on the horse was a sturdy black-clothed man.The traders who had been resting by the river bank all stood up and shouted, "Where did the thief come from?!" "Oh, he stole my horse!" "Hurry up! Don't let him run away!" Already!"

The girl in red turned over and jumped on the bay red horse, slapped the horse and gave chase. Her horse was very handsome, and it was not loaded, so it caught up in a short time.The man in black heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a group of red shadows rolling towards him like the wind.His thoughts turned very fast, his arms were raised, and the bright long knife was already in his hand. In a flash of cold light, all the ropes binding the goods were cut off.After that, he stabbed at the horse's buttocks, the horse suffered from pain, and was about to run wildly, but before the hooves fell, suddenly there was a gust of wind, and one hand reached out quickly, grabbed the rein, and pulled back violently, The horse neighed, and was dragged to a halt abruptly.

The man in black was startled, only to hear the crisp voice of the girl in red: "Xuan Xiao, thank you very much!"

He turned his head and looked, and there was a slender pale white figure standing impressively beside him, holding his horse's rein in his hand, with a high crown and hair, and a long robe with wide sleeves, his eyes were faintly red, like a dark fire that never extinguished.At this moment, those fiery eyes were looking at him coldly, and the man opened his mouth slowly, his voice was like the cold moonlight at night: "My friend, why hurry."

The man in black snorted heavily, and was about to throw him off when he flattered the horse, but he didn't know what the man said, a glimmer of light flashed in front of his eyes, and the horse was frozen in place like a clay sculpture.He just felt stiff all over his body, he couldn't even lift his hands, and couldn't move any more, he couldn't help being startled and angry, and cursed: "Smelly bastard, what kind of magic trick are you using?! If you have the ability, you and I will fight it out Victory!"

Xuan Xiao ignored him, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, he just turned his head and said to the girl in red: "How do you know my name?"

The girl smiled and said: "Hey! I heard your companion call it like this before, and I don't know if it's right—"

Just halfway through speaking, Mr. Xing's voice rang out from a distance: "Which way did you guys come from? Forgive the old man for his poor eyesight, he never paid a visit!"

The girl in red immediately suppressed her smile and exclaimed: "Uncle Xing!" She turned around on her horse and ran towards where the sound came from.Xuan Xiao glanced at the man, pulled the rein, and shouted: "Come here!" The horse obediently accepted that he would lead it back.

Along the way, the man in black kept yelling, Xuan Xiao thought he was annoying, so he tapped his finger lightly, and cast a spell of sealing words, the man's voice immediately became hoarse.These strange spells were all learned by Yun Tianqing in the Jinge Middle School of Qionghua School in the past few years. Xuan Xiao didn't bother to use them at first, but now he thinks they are extremely useful.

As soon as he reached the river, he was greeted by a strong smell of blood. There were a few people floating in the river, blood stained the surface of the river, and they looked like local boatmen.A light boat was moored among the reeds on the shore, and a group of big men in black were coming ashore one after another from the boat, holding a very thick iron chain in their hands, and dozens of women were tied to the other end, and they were dragged along by the iron chain. All were haggard and tired, with mournful expressions on their faces.

When the group of people landed on the shore, the last person in the battle immediately drew out his knife, poked a few big holes in the hull of the boat with his backhand, pushed the boat forward vigorously, and let it sink to the bottom of the river by itself.Then he cut the body of the boatman floating on the river into several sections, wrapped it in a coat, dropped a few boulders on it, and sank with the boat.

Mr. Xing suffered from such an accident, but he managed to calm himself down and said loudly: "The old man's cargo team doesn't have any valuables. It's really an honor to be appreciated by all my friends." Turning his head and looking at a porter beside him, "Changshun , go and get 100 taels of silver for these friends, let’s go our separate ways.”

What he said was all in accordance with the usual practice of the Jianghu, but judging by the appearance of that group of people, he might not be able to spend money.

Guoting was the first to hear a big man in black speak slowly: "It's a mere 100 taels, and we don't think much of it. We brothers have to go on the road tonight, so please don't be stingy, old man, and lend us the horse and all the money on hand." use."

The girl in red galloped up to Mr. Xing, and said loudly: "Uncle Xing, we earned the money so hard, why should we take advantage of them!" She didn't know martial arts, but she was very courageous, and pointed her whip at everyone. Said: "Who dares to step forward?!"

Mr. Xing didn't move in the face of the gangsters, but at this moment his face turned pale with shock, and he stomped his feet repeatedly: "Miss, get back quickly! If something happens to you, how can I explain to the master!"

Seeing the girl's radiant complexion, all the men in black laughed evilly. A dozen pairs of eyes gleamed under the moonlit night, like some kind of extremely ferocious beast. A fierce wind blew in, and under the hazy moonlight, the yin and yang swords cut through the sky swiftly, and the blue and red rays of light intertwined, converging into a powerful aura, and the wind struck with force.All the robbers were surprised and forced to step back a few steps. When they fixed their eyes, they saw three young men and women jumping out, holding long swords, lined up in a line, forming an encirclement, and surrounded the entire caravan. stand behind.

The white-clothed young man in the middle moved his hands forward, and a black figure staggered out from behind him, only to hear him say coldly: "Look out for your people!"

There was a gasp from among the black-clothed guests, and they couldn't help exclaiming: "Old Seven!" It turned out that the man was the brother they first sent to seize the horse and clear the way, but somehow he was caught by someone again. He was caught and sent back in a state of embarrassment.

As soon as Lao Qi got out of Xuan Xiao's control, he immediately felt that the breath in his chest and lungs became smoother, and he couldn't help but shouted: "Brother, these people know demon skills!"

The black-clothed leader remained motionless, took two steps forward, blocked his brother behind him, looked carefully at Qingxiaoyu and the three of them, and then snorted coldly: "The old man has such a big face, he actually invited the people on the Kunlun Mountains!" Immortal cultivators came to escort him, but I don’t know Mount Tai.”

Mr. Xing was also surprised when he heard this, and then shook his head: "You three, thank you for your kindness! It's just that they have a lot of people, even if you have superb skills...you may not be able to beat them. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's irrelevant, please leave quickly."

Suyu looked back and smiled: "Mr. Xing, you can rest assured."

The black-clothed leader said coldly: "It's a big tone! I advise a few friends not to come to this troubled water. There are all sects and sects in this world, and we Huainan Thirteen Pirates are not afraid to move. We have something to do today. As for the matter, we only take horses, not human beings, how about we each make a concession and do things on our own?" He has always been arrogant, and these words can be regarded as a great tolerance.

Unexpectedly, the three people in front of him didn't appreciate it at all, and only heard Yun Tianqing laughing, "The Thirteen Thirteen Pirates of Huainan? This name is so notorious, why are there so many people pretending to be it?"

When the bandits heard the fire, they couldn't hold back anymore, they drew out their knives one after another, and they rushed forward just waiting for the leader's order.

The leader in black nodded slowly, and said: "Since a few friends don't show face, don't blame us for being rude." While speaking, he waved his hand forward, and more than ten sharp knives rolled over like snow waves.The three of Qingxiaoyu raised their swords to meet each other, metal and iron intersected, and the noise was like torrential rain.One is light and flirtatious, the other is calm and dignified, and the other is elegant and agile. The coordination is very tacit, and the white clothes are flowing and weaving between the pieces of black clothes, which is really eye-catching.Xuan Xiao and Su Yu were trapped in the house by Xuan Ji for half a month, until Xi and Wang Shu Fang finally saw the sun again tonight, they both felt quite happy in their hearts.

Yun Tianqing didn't forget to sneer in spite of his busy schedule: "You really look good, you look a bit more like anyone I've met before."

All the men in black were furious, and they all cursed: "Your grandma's!" As soon as the words came out, one of them suddenly felt the wind whistling in his ears, and a big stone flew towards the side of his head, rubbing his forehead, and it was thrown from the caravan of.It turns out that the folks on the grassland are tough, and although the traders don't know martial arts, they are not timid and fearful. Seeing that Qing Xiaoyu and the other three are defending themselves against the enemy, they all help each other.For a while, gravel and clods fell like raindrops. Although it was useless, it could disturb people's hearts.

In the midst of the chaos, a whistle sounded from far away on the river. When the men in black heard the whistle, their expressions changed drastically, and they gritted their teeth and cursed: "Damn it! What a Jinfan thief, how can you be so haunted?" Let go!"

One of them asked, "Brother, what shall we do? If we can't grab the horse, we can't run far!"

After pondering the first song, he immediately made up his mind, put his feet together, jumped a few feet to the side, and shouted: "Let’s keep the green hills, don’t worry about running out of firewood! Today we admit we’re going to die, let’s retreat first!" All the bandits Hearing this, they retreated one after another. Being in such an embarrassing situation, they didn't forget the girls they held hostage. With all their strength, they were dragged forward, it's really miserable.There was a sound of wow, and a little girl's cry came out, and another older girl immediately comforted her softly: "Aqin, be good, don't cry."

Qing Xiaoyu and the others originally intended to drive away this group of robbers, seeing them give up on their own initiative, they stopped chasing them, but seeing this situation, they couldn't help feeling angry, Xuan Xiao wanted to move, Xihe sword passed, The thick and tough iron chain was cut into two pieces.Everyone felt that their hands were empty, and when they turned around to look, they saw Liu Yun's long sleeves stretched out lightly, and the light of his sword was burning like fire.

He and his group have always made a living by buying and selling women. Since they were chased by the Jinfan pirates, most of their money has been cut off. At this moment, the black-clothed leader felt extremely hated, but he had no choice but to ask in a hissing voice: "Several friends, don't you plan to leave us a way to survive?"

Xuan Xiao was unmoved, and only replied concisely: "Either keep the person, or keep the life."

While speaking, another whistle blew, which was much closer than before, and it sounded like it rang in the ears. The group of men in black pulled away in a hurry, and heard a jeer and sarcasm from the caravan behind them. Sounds, but also ignored the many, just scattered like birds and beasts.However, before he could escape a few steps, he heard the sound of splashing water on the bank of the river, and the fire was shining brightly among the reeds. Three big black ships appeared like ghosts, and the main ship in the middle was hung high with five-color brocade. The sails are fluttered by the river wind.Holding the torches high, the young sailors jumped down from the deck continuously, surrounding the men in black like iron barrels.

Under the light of the fire, the faces of all the robbers were ashen, knowing that there was no way out.And this group of people are desperate people, especially the leader. Under such a desperate situation, they suddenly rose up and shouted sharply: "If you can't get away, then go all out!"

He aimed at the sailor in front of him and slashed down, but as soon as he moved his arm, a foot with straw sandals kicked him head-on, with the wind blowing, fast and hard.Before he could react, he heard a crackling sound, and his forearm was kicked out of its socket.The next moment, he was hit hard by the knee between his chest and abdomen, causing him to curl up like a shrimp in pain, sweating profusely.

He raised his head reluctantly, only to see that the man in front of him had fiery red messy hair, his face was as sharp as a knife, and there was a mocking smile in his eyes.

Looking around again, he saw a sea of ​​swords shining brightly, and several of his brothers had already been attacked by the sailors.He was frightened and angry, and finally couldn't help exhaling: "Brave Jinfan!"

Li Hankong smiled and nodded at him: "Little Huainan thief, don't come here without any problems."

The Huainan bandit said angrily, "You are ambush and sneak attack, you are so sinister and vicious, what kind of hero are you!"

Li Hankong turned his face faster than turning the pages of a book, he suppressed his smile, kicked him in the chest, and said, "Damn it, you deserve to mention the word 'hero'!"

After that, he ignored him, turned around, and said loudly: "Brothers, tie up these fat rats and throw them into the cabin!" After giving the order, all the sailors around agreed, and directly sent the Huainan robbers The zongzi was tied like a ground, dragged horizontally and vertically back to the boat.

Only now did Li Hankong walk up to Qing Xiaoyu, exchanged palms with Yun Tianqing, smiled at Suyu, clasped his fists to Xuan Xiao, and said with a smile, "We meet again."

Yun Tianqing sighed pretendingly: "Every time I see you, you always bring out the true meaning of a certain four words to the extreme. I admire you so much."

Li Hankong was quite proud: "Which four words? Tell your elder brother quickly!"

"...to bully the few with the more."

"You brat don't want to live anymore!"

***

A turmoil did not settle until the sky became twilight.

Li Hankong and others untied the ropes of the women captured by the bandits in Huainan, and sent them back to their hometowns by giving money respectively.All the girls were overjoyed and dispersed one after another. In the end, only a seven or eight-year-old girl was left, sitting on the big rock by the river and weeping.She was born so pitifully, with a petite figure, holding a heavy Yaoqin in both hands, and looked taller than her.

Suyu half-kneeled in front of her, and said softly: "Sister, no one will bully you in the future, you can go home properly."

The girl wept and said: "The group of thieves took Daddy's boat and killed him when they reached the shore..." Although she was young, her words and conversation were very clear, not childish at all.

Suyu thought of the scene where the Huainan bandits had sunk the boatman's body at the bottom of the river, she was startled, and stretched out her arms to hug her tightly.

The red-clothed girl in the caravan was riding her horse towards the shore, when she heard this, she couldn't help but angrily said: "This group of people really do a lot of evil!"

Yun Tianqing frowned, and asked, "Girl, what's your name? Where do you live? Who else is in the family?"

The girl replied in a low voice: "My name is Aqin, and the only family member in my family is Daddy."

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed: "Poor, poor." But they were thinking in their hearts, she is a little girl, her family is ruined, how should she be settled in the future?

The girl in red turned her head to look at Mr. Xing and asked, "Uncle Xing, shall we take her away?"

Mr. Xing murmured, "We are traveling merchants, living in the wind and sleeping in the open, wandering around for many years, I'm afraid it's too hard for her."

Ah Qin raised her head eagerly: "I... I am not afraid of hard work. As long as I have a shelter, I will be grateful." At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the faint morning light reflected on her white jade-like face and cheeks There were still wet tears, which made her appearance very beautiful.

Mr. Xing said: "Well, let's take her with me first, and then go south to have my old friend. It must not be difficult to ask him to house a little girl then."

Aqin was grateful, and immediately bowed to the people in front of her. The girl in red got off her horse and helped her up, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and wiped away her tears.

Everyone in the caravan thanked Yun Tianqing and the others again and again, and then got ready to go. Ah Qinfang was about to follow, but suddenly remembered something, and walked forward with Yaoqin in his arms, and bowed down to salute: "Everyone's life-saving grace, Ah Qin has nothing to repay, but now I can only play a piece of piano to express my gratitude." After speaking, she sat down on the green grass beside the road, adjusted the strings slightly, and started playing.

She came from a pitiful background and looked sad, but the music that flowed from her fingertips was extremely clear, as bright and moving as if the rain was falling and the sky was blue. At such a young age, she was extremely talented in rhythm.After the song, she got up and bowed again, took a deep look at the vast river, then turned her back and never looked back.Mr. Xing saw that she was small and alone, and it was very difficult to hold Yaoqin in his arms, so he kindly wanted to take it for her, but she just shook her head, and said stubbornly: "This is the only thing my father left me. Can't drop it."

The sound of horseshoes kicking mixedly, the caravan gradually disappeared in the morning mist, and finally disappeared, only the sound of the piano seemed to resound in my ears, indistinct and indistinct.

Xuan Xiao looked into the distance, and said slowly: "What a cultivator seeks in his life is nothing more than eliminating demons, defending the way, helping the weak, and there are always things that cannot be reversed after something happens."

Yun Tianqing knew that although he didn't speak much, he really cared about Aqin's matter, so he smiled and said: "The world is so big, so many things happen every day, how can it be possible to take care of them all? You can only do your best Instead, do as much as you can.”

Xuan Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then said in a low voice: "You are right."

Suyu smiled slightly, and continued: "I think of when I was first brought to Qionghua by Master Taiqing, I devoted myself to cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism, and being a chivalrous hero. However, I gradually understood the meaning of this thought only recently-it was nothing more than trying my best. I can do my best to make this world less painful and more stable and happy.”

As soon as she said this, although the thoughts in the minds of the other two were not the same, they both felt the same way and nodded in unison.

Yun Tianqing said with a smile: "In the future, whenever we have the opportunity, we will come down the mountain and take care of injustices. Wouldn't it be great to live a life like this?"

Xuan Xiao squinted at him: "You just want to go down the mountain privately, don't make excuses."

Yun Tianqing was about to refute with a grin, when suddenly there was a crisp ringing of bells, and a red shadow came galloping from far to near, it was the girl in red shirt.She reined in her horse and stopped in front of the three of them, jumped off the ground, and hurriedly asked: "You guys, are you really the swordsmen cultivating immortals on Kunlun Mountain?"

The three of them didn't expect her to go back and come back, but to ask this matter, they were all confused, looked at each other and nodded.

The girl in red said happily, "That's great! Then you must know the method of longevity?"

Suyu smiled and asked, "Girl, could it be that you want to cultivate immortals?"

The girl opened her eyes wide, shook her head in surprise, and said, "Why am I going to cultivate immortals? How boring! I'm doing it—I'm doing it for a friend." Having said this, her cheeks flushed slightly, "He, his family Times are short-lived, I want him to live a few more years, so I came out to find a way to live longer."

The three of them looked into her expectant eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Thinking about the method of the two swords soaring, they had exhausted the strength of the three generations of the Qionghua School before they had a clue. However, when did the two swords reach the skylight Where it was cast, no one knows.How can it be so simple to live forever and become a fairy?

Xuan Xiao coughed and decided to tell the truth: "Girl, if you want to live forever, it is not something that can be achieved overnight."

When the girl heard this, the look in her eyes suddenly dimmed, and her face turned pale: "How long will it take? He can't wait that long..." At the end, her eyes were already a little red, "I I thought that if I found the Sword Immortal, I would be able to find a solution."

Yun Tianqing opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say, and finally he only asked: "You said it, but your friend named Han?"

The girl lowered her head: "...Exactly."

Yun Tianqing nodded, and he had already guessed in his heart: "The Han family of Jizhou is a well-known robber in the tomb, but the lifespan of generations is short, and no one has ever lived to the age of [-]."

When the two were talking, they suddenly heard a person behind him interject: "If it's the Han family, I'm afraid no matter how hard you try, it will be useless."

The girl in red hurriedly raised her head, and at a glance she saw Li Hankong lying on the side of the black boat and waving at them. His messy red hair was fluttering in the morning wind, and there was a little monkey squatting on his shoulder.

He only heard him continue: "Stealing someone's tomb will damage the morality. If you want to save your friend, you are afraid that you will have to negotiate with the king of hell."

Hearing this, the girl was very sad and disappointed, and shed tears in a daze. After a while, she suddenly raised the back of her hand and wiped her tears away, and said coldly, "So what? What if he dies?" At worst, I'll just stay with him!" After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and left in a hurry.

Suyu looked at her back and sighed: "Brother, why did you tell her these things and make her sad?"

Li Hankong said: "There is God's will in the dark, what's wrong with her knowing earlier?"

Suyu turned around to look at him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Hankong, you didn't believe in fate before. Life and death are in your hands, and you can change with your heart, isn't it like this?"

Li Hankong smiled lazily: "The days of licking blood on the tip of the knife are too many, and some truths will be understood. Doing your best and obeying the destiny is nothing more than that."

Suyu shook her head: "What you said is wrong." Her tone was very firm.

Li Hankong looked at her, through the thick clouds of smoke, he seemed to see that little girl from a few years ago again, and said to himself coldly, why do you want to become a robber?I forbid you to be a robber!After so long, the little girl has grown up, but some things will not change.Let her always feel that something is wrong, Li Hankong thought in his heart, there are some truths, but in fact, it is better to never understand.

Then he showed a bright smile and asked: "You three, do you want to take my boat for a swim?"
