flying light
Chapter 1
Later, when we were watching the moon on the roof with our arms on our pillows, Lu Qiao turned his face to me and said, "Silly Alang, have you ever thought that if I were a human trafficker, then you don't know where you are crying right now." .”
I looked into his eyes, smiled lightly, and retorted in a low voice: "Aren't you a human trafficker?"
He was surprised: "Have you ever seen such a handsome trafficker?"
"Well, it's hard to say whether you are handsome or not. But you are—"
"It is indeed because of my handsomeness that I abducted you back."
He was talking about our first meeting.
It was midsummer at that time, and the sky changed as it said it would, and the sky was still blue and blue, but in the blink of an eye, big raindrops were falling down.Trapped in the wilderness, I looked at the baggage in my hand, and at the endless trees around me. Accompanied by the thunder that fell from time to time, I felt extremely delicate.
"You die before you leave the teacher." I wiped my face with water in one hand.
"The commander-in-chief's hero is in tears?" A voice came from behind and continued the second half of the sentence.
I shook my head: "You haven't made a name for yourself yet, who would remember you? At most, a farmer would pass by and point to the charred corpse on the ground and say, hey, another unlucky ghost."
He echoed me: "It makes sense."
I drove the road for most of the day in a muffled voice, and finally met someone who could talk to me, so I couldn't help but feel a little excited.Turning around and putting one hand on his arm, he raised his eyes and asked him, "Brother, do you feel the rain..."
I saw him hold up a 64-bone purple bamboo umbrella, half covering my head.
"..."
I silently swallowed the three words "become smaller".
"What's wrong with the rain?" He asked, I was stunned to hear some malicious intentions from his flat tone.
"It's nothing." I smiled at him, and was thinking about what to say, when he took his hand and pulled me away, "Let's go, if you stay any longer, you will really be struck by lightning."
The rain was getting heavier, and I, who was drenched in a daze, remembered that I still didn't know his last name, so I asked him aloud, "What's your name?"
crackling-
In the pouring rain, I heard him say two words.
"Lu Qiao."
He led me into a ruined temple.
It is said to be a broken temple, but in fact, apart from being a little old and messy, it is still very reliable for sheltering from wind and rain.I lit a fire with a torch, and Lu Qiao and I sat facing each other—he was roasting sweet potatoes, and I was roasting clothes.
By the way, I was wearing Lu Qiao's clothes from head to toe.
Thinking about how open-minded I am, on the first day I left home, I followed the stranger I met on the way, and it was still the kind without hesitation.The reason for this, apart from having never really seen the dangers of the world, is mostly because I am very proud of my martial arts.
This kind of complacency lasted until Lu Qiao took the sword flower and easily split the poisonous snake emerging from the firewood pile into two. Then he lifted the pot out of the pot as if by magic, and smiled very happily: "There is soup to drink."
And I didn't even notice when the snake came to my side.
"Oh." I silently unwrapped my bag to see if there was anything else that could be used.
A change of clothes, wet; banknotes, so mushy that even my own mother can’t recognize them; dagger.And these two things seem to be useless in the wilderness.
"..."
I guess my expression at that time must be very exciting.
What's even more exciting is that Lu Qiao looked at me and said at the right time: "So it's a bad idea to run away from home."
Startled, I looked up at him, meeting his gaze.
It was the first time I had looked at his face seriously, in the light of the fire.
I practice sword all the year round, and I don't like reading. There are only two descriptions of people's appearance, good-looking or bad-looking.But at that moment when I looked at him, I remembered a sentence like a ghost: "It's as bright as a jade tree before the wind."
It looks too evil.
But this is not the time to talk about how he looks.I frowned and asked him, "How do you know?"
He smiled and asked me back: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
I quietly put my hand on the saber, and put on a posture ready to rise at any time.
"What do you say?"
"Of course it's because I'm very good at reading faces. I can figure out what your name is, where you live, where your parents are, and how many brothers you have."
"..." Who would believe it, I'd better draw my sword.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." He stopped laughing, and said seriously: "I saw you on the Crane Tower, Xiao Zhou Lang."
——Guanhe Tower is a small building in my family’s villa. It is used by my father to receive friends and disciples. Outsiders can’t go up and don’t know its existence.
That's it, I let go of my saber.
After a while, he grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out, pointing to Lu Qiao and said, "Who are you calling Xiao Zhou Lang?"
I consider myself quite energetic.
As a result, Lu Qiao didn't even frown, grabbed some salt and sprinkled it into the pot, and said lightly, "Stop making trouble, come and eat."
After a while, I sat side by side with Lu Qiao with a small bowl in my hand.
Thinking about my father's friends, I don't say I know all of them, but I have probably met them, so I asked him: "Where did you learn from?"
He was gnawing on a piece of snake meat, he paused and told me: "Guangling Lu family."
Guangling Lu family?
"Who is the elder Lu who went to the fairy?"
"My father."
I suddenly remembered the news I heard years ago, and I felt some inexplicable feeling in my heart, and I fell silent immediately.
I narrowed my eyes and stared at the soup in the bowl, not knowing how to react.
The sounds of wind, rain, and unknown bird calls are all very clear at this moment.
Behind us is the stormy world, and in front of us is the golden Buddha statue on the lotus seat.The fire was shaken by the wind, and when I looked up, the benevolent eyes were hidden in the darkness, which seemed fake.
In the end, it was Lu Qiao who broke the silence.
"Little Zhou Lang, I just asked you to ask me, and I haven't asked you yet?"
"what?"
I just exposed his scars, and I still feel guilty in my heart, so I don't care about what he called me.
"There is the young owner of the bandit villa, his father loves his mother, why did he run away from home?"
"Don't you want to travel the rivers and lakes by yourself?"
"I think it's more than that." Under the firelight, his face looked very vivid.His expression changed a few times, and finally settled on a very aggressive one. "I heard that the young daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance is so beautiful..."
"Well, cough cough cough..."
I put the snake meat in Lu Qiao's mouth with no expression on my face, shut up.
"By the way, that girl is not as good-looking as you. I might as well marry you if I marry her."
I pinched Lu Qiao's face viciously, and said even more viciously.
In the following days, out of nowhere, I got mixed up with Lu Qiaosi.
This is what our conversation was like before joining us.
"Little Zhou Lang, you are leaving home, oh no, is there any route for traveling around the rivers and lakes?"
"Don't bark." I glared at him, "No."
He suggested: "Then how about I take you for a ride?"
I said quickly: "Okay."
"Ask you a question." Lu Qiao raised his eyebrows.
"what?"
Lu Qiao had a meaningful expression on his face: "You won't let me call you Little Zhou Lang, so what should I call you, Zhou Zhou, Lang Lang, or Lang'er?"
"Say something human." I heard a chill and gasped, "My senior brother calls me A-Lang."
"Oh, Ah Lang." Lu Qiao hugged his sword in his arms, "One last question."
"..."
"Just ask."
Lu Qiao winked at me: "In your heart, I am prettier than the leader's daughter?"
I picked up the bag and threw it on his head: "Compare her beauty with a girl, and she will be promising."
Then he raised his feet and walked down the mountain without looking back.
Walking straight from Shanyin is a town, and it is still a prosperous one. You can see several banks along the way.I held the horrible banknotes in my hand, looked at the gate of the bank, and then at the words "thousand taels" in a ball, and my heart ached.
I looked back at Lu Qiao.
Lu Qiao found two copper coins out of nowhere, and was just buying a bunch of candied haws and stood in the middle of the street smiling at me.Probably because my expression was too lifeless, he looked around and saw that there were no carriages and horses, so he walked quickly to my side, and put the candied haws in front of my eyes, "The first one is for you?"
"I don't mind what the little girl likes..."
Taking advantage of the gap between my words, Lu Qiao quickly stuffed the candied haws into my mouth.The sweetness of the syrup quickly melted on the tip of my tongue, and I was stunned for a moment before finishing the candied haws with Lu Qiao's hands.
"How about it, do you feel less blocked?" Lu Qiao asked me.
I shook my head and asked him back, "Do you know how much these banknotes are worth?"
He winked at me.
I whispered a value.
His complexion changed, "No, my heart hurts a little too." Immediately he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the first one."
"..."
I considered what to say.
After a while, I still didn't think about it.
Instead he hooked my neck and smiled. "Silly boy, you can't exchange the banknote even if it's not soaked in water. Is it because you're afraid that your father won't find you for such a large amount of silver?"
What he said is reasonable, and it's not that I haven't thought about this issue, but I said with a terrified neck, "I practice martial arts with my father when I urinate, and I don't learn much about other things, because I don't need to do anything else in the villa. Thinking about making a living..."
"I said I would take you to the rivers and lakes, so these things should naturally be resolved by me." He hooked me and walked forward, and while talking, he took a half-eaten candied haws in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Come on, call!" Brother, come and listen."
"Lu Qiao, I wonder if you still remember one thing?"
"what?"
"Mr. Lu met my father in Huizhou back then, and the two hit it off with each other, and worshiped him in front of many people from the rivers and lakes..."
Mr. Lu is Lu Qiao's grandfather. If he and my father are considered to be of the same generation, then I should be of the same generation as Lu Qiao's father.
So, "Nephew, call uncle to come and listen?" I touched Lu Qiao's hand and bit another candied haws.
"Uncle, can you write?" Lu Qiao asked me suddenly.
"what"
Lu Qiao pointed to the recruitment notice on the wall, "The opportunity to support the family has come."
I moved to the left to see the content of the notice clearly.The content can be summed up as follows—to recruit a customer, two people are required—a man and a scholar.
The salary is quite good, calculated on a monthly basis, but it is a pity that only one person is recruited.
So should I get a job too?
I shared this idea with Lu Qiao, and after hearing this, Lu Qiao touched my head and said, "No need." He smiled brightly.
It wasn't until the day I actually set up the stall that I realized what he meant by "no need".
He sat there to write letters for others, and I sat beside him and rubbed ink for him.
"So what's the point of you asking me if I know how to write?" During the break, I drank a bowl of red bayberry juice and gave Lu Qiao a sip from time to time.
Lu Qiao turned his wrist: "But you don't meet their requirements."
I disagree: "Which one?"
"Such an obvious thing needs to be explained in detail, of course I am a scholar."
I held down the sword, and he quickly added, "You are a hero."
"What about you?" I asked.
"Me..." He deliberately dragged out the tone, leaned into my ear and said, "A hero who has read a lot of poetry and books."
With a movement of my hand, the sword came out of its sheath an inch, but my nephew pressed it back with internal force.
"Be happy, a guest is here."
Looking up, there was an old woman walking tremblingly towards the stall.
She sat down opposite Lu Qiao, and the first thing she said was: "You two brothers have such a good relationship."
Lu Qiao: "Yes, my brother has been clinging to me since he was a child."
Me: "..." Let's forget about poisoning Lu Qiao's dinner.
Lifting the bowl in my hand, drinking the last bit of red, I got into the teahouse on the left to listen to the story.
When I finished drinking the No. 30 bowl of bayberry juice I bought at Granny Zhao's, I realized that I had been in this small town for more than a month.
Coincidentally, as soon as this idea came up, two voices entered my ears at the same time.
One is at the letter stand on the right. Lu Qiao was reading a letter to someone, and he was reading Jiang Jie's "Liuguang is easy to throw people away, and the cherries are red, and the plantains are green".
The other is in the teahouse on the left, where the storyteller asked the listeners a question - what is Jianghu?
I suddenly became interested, and listened to the chattering discussion inside.
Some say that they are utterly honest, some say that horses are fast and fur is light, and some say that wine is good and beautiful women.Twos and threes form a faction, or argue, or agree, the content may be different, but the general idea is surprisingly consistent-the rivers and lakes, or the people in the rivers and lakes, every day they live is a legend.
I chuckled, put the bowl in my hand on the table, and in the blink of an eye I saw that I was writing a letter to Lu Shaoxia.
How did you spend the past thirty days?
In other words, how did I live with him?
Practice swords, set up stalls, and cook with fire.Occasionally, I bicker over who put more salt in the dish, and occasionally fight over the last shrimp on the plate. Occasionally, no, often, I often lean against the wall with my sword in my arms, and watch the little girls use all kinds of prawns. Way to express his heart to Lu Qiao Mingli and secretly.
Tall and handsome, he is also very knowledgeable, and he is indeed a good husband-in-law.This was said by a little girl in front of me. I kept my mouth idle and couldn't control it all of a sudden, and then said: "Yes, it would be great if I could talk more about people." After staring, I glanced into the distance as if nothing had happened, and it took me a long time to remember that every time this girl looked at Lu Qiao, there was a green light in her eyes.
At first, Lu Qiao politely refused to talk to people, but then he may have seen me watching the excitement too vigorously, so he directly pulled me as a shield, and said, "My brother is still young and needs to be taken care of by his elder brother", It directly blocked the girls' full stomach.
From time to time after that, I felt a chill behind my back.
As soon as the thoughts are far away, the people, things and voices around him become blurred, only Lu Qiao's face is still alive.The setting sun put away the last rays of light, and even the heat of midsummer dissipated a lot. I came back to my senses and heard Lu Qiao whisper in my ear: "Close the stall and go home."
Then he took my arm and turned into the alley.
I was a little dazed and followed him. After taking a few steps, I suddenly remembered that the storyteller was supposed to give an answer, so I listened attentively, only to hear him say the four words "the so-called rivers and lakes", and then, The wind blew past my ears, and scattered the rest of the words at the door of the teahouse.
In the evening, Lu Qiao was in charge of the spoon, and I helped to cook a pot of fish soup.When the fragrance wafted away, Lu Qiao filled a bowl for me and asked me how I was doing; I looked at his look like asking for credit, and wanted to tease him, so I pretended to rack my brains to think of words to praise him, and it took me a long time. Hold back the word "good".
His face went dark.
I snickered and buried my head in the bowl, and continued to drink my soup.
"By the way, guess what I heard in the teahouse today?"
"what?"
"I didn't even think about it." I dismissed him, and recounted to him what I heard today.
"Hey, it's too ordinary to live a life."
Satisfied with wine and food, the two of us went to the house to Jiewa, no, we went to the roof to watch the stars.He rested his head on his arm, with a straw in his mouth: "When your father sends someone to chase after you, life will be wonderful."
"Are you sincerely here to make things difficult for me?"
"How can it be? I love my brother the most."
"Oh." I gave Lu Qiao a blank look, and didn't speak for a long time.It wasn't until the frogs in the pond stopped that I turned around and said to Lu Qiao half seriously and half jokingly: "I don't think you took me to swim in the rivers and lakes."
"What's that?" He just opened his eyes, full of stars.
"What do you think?" I smiled and fell asleep in a daze.
In the dream, it seemed that someone was smiling and saying to me: "You are planted."
It's all because of Lu Qiao's crow's mouth. Just two days after he said that, my senior brother came to the door.
I was so startled that I carried the bag in my left hand and pulled Lu Qiao in the right, and hurried to the crowded place. Before I ran, a thought flashed through my mind—fortunately, my salary for last month was paid.
Lu Qiao didn't realize what was going on at first, and teased me: "You are going to elope with me." After a while, he understood, and instead held my hand, he began to do light work, flying out of the old house in twos and threes. However, when I looked back, my brother had already followed me.
"Your brother's qinggong is pretty good." Lu Qiao commented with interest.
I didn't think about it: "That's up to you?" As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that I seemed to be led astray by Lu Qiao, so I raised my voice and said, "Nephew, can you be a little conscious of being chased by someone?"
"Okay, Uncle." Lu Qiao tipped his toes, led me around a few streets, and got into a tailor's shop.The shop is bright red, very dazzling.
I don't really want to mention what happened afterwards.
I put on my wedding dress, covered my hijab, and was stuffed into the wedding sedan chair by Lu Qiao.Before closing the door, Lu Qiao leaned down and smiled in my ear: "Don't worry, I'm here."
The voice is very low, but inexplicably makes people feel reliable.
I was moved.
Lu Qiao went on to say, "Who can snatch away my old Lu family's daughter-in-law?"
My previous emotion was like feeding the dog.
"You better shut up." I cursed with a smile, and then the car curtain was lowered, and my eyes suddenly darkened.
I think I may have been stunned by my senior brother.
Not long after sitting in the sedan chair, the phrase that my junior sister often chanted, "After putting on makeup, ask your husband in a low voice, whether the thrush is deep or shallow".
"..."
I shook my head, thinking where did all these monsters come from, I might as well memorize more sword formulas.
After about half a stick of incense, Lu Qiao came back.
He deliberately lowered his breath, opened the car curtain before I noticed someone approaching, wrapped his arms around my waist, and led me up to the roof.
"..."
In fact, sometimes I am quite curious about how he got this habit of going to the room every now and then, and I actually asked about it.
"You..." Lu Qiao sighed, it was the first time I heard him speak so helplessly.
He reached out, pressed my shoulders and turned me towards him, and slowly, lifted my hijab.
"Didn't my senior brother leave? You just..."
When I saw his current appearance clearly, all the remaining words were stranded on my lips.
He changed into a big red robe.
"You..." I hesitated.
"Why, do you still want to admit it even after taking off the hijab?" He looked at me deeply, with rare seriousness in his eyes. "It's not rivers and lakes that I took you to swim, what is that?"
I was stunned for a while, looking at the blue sky behind Lu Qiao, I slowly smiled.
I blinked, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's Hong Chen."
I can't stay in the town any longer, otherwise my father will personally catch me within two days.When I walked past the archway at the gate of the town with my burden on my back, I looked back.
"Why, can't bear it?" Lu Qiao asked me.
I replied: "Yes, I can't bear to miss Granny Zhao's bayberry juice, Uncle Yang's osmanthus cake, Aunt Qian's squirrel fish, drunk chicken, glutinous rice lotus root, snowflake crab bucket, boiled dried shredded..."
Lu Qiao was amused by me: "Stop talking, it sounds really hungry."
I laughed along and asked him, "Where are we going next?"
"Where are you going..." He took my hand and said in a drawn out tone, "Three mountains and five mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, or something else, wherever you want to go, we will go there."
I rolled my eyes: "That entanglement is not enough."
"I still have a small bag in my luggage. It's enough to support the family, ma'am."
"Who is your Madam?"
"My A-Lang."
"Don't bark!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"..."
In the days that followed, Lu Qiao and I rode horses with swords on our backs, wandering around aimlessly.Just skip the things that you are not interested in, and stop and rest for ten days and a half months for those that are novel and interesting.Occasionally, when we encountered injustice, the two of us would take turns to fight, this time it was him and the next time it was me. Once the sword on our back was unsheathed, basically there was nothing wrong with it.
We stayed in the water town for a while.
I rented a boat, packed up pots and pans and pillows, and just lived on the water.At that time, the days were mostly sunny, and the sun was very good, so we often sat on the bow, or talked and laughed, or had wine, or he was fishing and I read books—of course I read fashionable legends, from the light of the sky. From the first appearance to the afterglow of the setting sun, it may pass in the blink of an eye.
It also rained a few times.
At this time, Lu Qiao liked to put on a show and said, "Hey, it's a good thing that it's raining. I heard that Hero Lu just picked up a wife in the rain."
I lay on his lap, listening to the pattering rain outside, and said casually: "That girl is so pitiful, she is so blind at such a young age."
Lu Qiao was shocked: "So our A-Lang is a girl?"
I raised my hand to pull his face: "Nephew, look clearly, I am your uncle."
So he looked down at me for a long time, finally heaved a heavy sigh, and said quietly: "Our A-Lang is so pitiful, so young, so stupid."
I was chased from the bow to the stern by me.
When night fell—I often leaned on the bow of the boat and listened to the people on the bridge singing a ditty while he was making dinner. Wu Nong's soft words mixed with the hot wind on the water, I fell asleep after listening to it.This sleep usually lasts until Lu Qiao finishes the meal, and the intriguing fragrance wafts over. I rubbed my eyes, only to realize that it was already dark.
The moon hangs high.Outside the boat is Jiang Feng Yuhuo, and someone in the boat is sitting at the small table with a face of misfortune, waiting for me to have dinner.
For the first time in my life, I regretted my ignorance. If I could, I should draw this scene.
For the breeze and bright moon, for us who are flamboyant at the moment.
And ever since Lu Qiao knew that I would fall asleep at dusk, Wuliu Liu rolled his eyes and had other thoughts—he quietly rowed the boat to the second half of the river while I was still asleep go.After I bid farewell to Duke Zhou, when I looked outside, I was overwhelmed with bewilderment, and I thought I was caught by my brother.
I also thought about what to do when I went back to see my father.Should I just plop down on my knees and beg him to help him without saying a word, or should I tell him with tears that I just looked at Lu Qiao blindly and it can't be cured.These two methods seem to be quite scary?
wrong.
I stood at the bow of the boat, and when the night wind blew, my head woke up instantly.I lowered my head and walked into the cabin, and caught a glimpse of Lu Qiao looking at me happily.
"..." My eldest nephew is really in a mess.
I drew the sword and was about to shave him. He smiled, and quickly stretched out his chopsticks to clamp the tip of the sword. With the other hand, he picked up a plate and approached me, "Your favorite horseshoe cake?" .”
The anger in my heart was not actually anger at all, it was just getting used to getting along with him like this, and it was gone soon.
When we had had enough fish, we retreated to the shore and rode to Huizhou.
After paying the rent for a small backyard in an alley, I fell straight onto the bed.After nestling on the water for a long time, when I saw the bed again, it was like reuniting with an old friend, and I could talk about the old days for three days and three nights.Lu Qiao stared at me for a moment, seeing that I had no intention of getting up, so he reluctantly stuffed me with a pillow, closed the door and went out.
In a flash, many days have passed.
On the day of Frost's Descent, a pigeon flew over from the yard with a letter tied to its leg.
"It's from my junior brother." Lu Qiao said, "Do you know... how my parents got there?"
I nodded: "I heard a little bit."
More than that.Once this matter was spread, it was discussed in Jianghu for more than two months.
——Old head Lu practiced kung fu until he became obsessed, and when he was unconscious, he killed his wife with a sword, and then died from the severance of his meridians.
"I was also confused at first. My father is not a quick-tempered person, so he wouldn't go to the point where he went crazy. But I saw my mother with my own eyes..." He closed his eyes, his face was already very bad, and instead of saying It's grief, or rather, I feel more and more murderous aura from him. "So it was him..."
The spread letter paper came into my eyes, and I read it with bated breath, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Before I met Lu Qiao, all my impressions of the Lu family in Guangling came from the old head Lu.
Similar to what was rumored in the world, Mr. Lu, the head of the sect, is a gentleman, gentle as jade, and a very good-tempered person.Such a person, logically speaking, is unlikely to go mad, unless...
Before he retreated to practice, he met a person.
That person was his closest junior brother when he was young, senior uncle Lu Qiao, and now the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Ji Xuan.
Full of hypocrisy, he came all the way from the capital city, called his senior brother after a long absence, and then handed Old Master Lu Ji Xuan half a jar of drugged wine.
I held Lu Qiao's trembling hand: "When will I go find him?"
As soon as the voice fell, I felt that the wind around me seemed to be stronger than usual.
"He's here." Lu Qiao opened his eyes, gently rubbed my head, and forced a smile: "Just find any place to play for a while, don't let his blood stain your eyes. "
"But……"
"Be obedient." Lu Qiao drew his sword out of its sheath: "He can't beat me."
I stood by the window of a certain empty building and watched Lu Qiao use his ultimate move to cover Ji Xuan's head and face, and Ji Xuan retreated step by step, as if he was about to be unable to hold on.
Sure enough, in just three moves, Lu Qiao's sword passed through Ji Xuan's chest.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
wrong!
Without hesitation, I ignited the contact fireworks of the Bandit Villa, and jumped down from the attic.
The one who fell in front of Lu Qiao was not Ji Xuan at all, the real Ji Xuan was hiding in a tree, and he was pointing his bow at Lu Qiao's back——
Swish, the sound of arrows coming in the wind.
Bang, the sound of me drawing my sword and cutting it off.
I looked at Lu Qiao, only to realize that he had discovered everything a long time ago, including that the person who fought against him earlier was a scapegoat, and that besides Ji Xuan, there were at least three Jinyiwei in the courtyard.
……
Before the people from Bandit Villa came, Lu Qiao's white clothes were already blood-red.
"Why are you so misbehaving? I'll punish you to cook for a month later." Lu Qiao finally inserted the sword into Ji Xuan's heart, and when he pulled it out, blood splashed on his face and his eyes.
"you……"
Before I could finish speaking, he clenched his sword tightly and flew towards the door.
There is also a Jinyiwei there.
I picked up the sword and chased to the door, but my mind suddenly became confused. The part that was injured by Ji Xuan's sword energy was in pain.
There are flowers in front of my eyes.
Before I passed out completely, I saw a figure outside the yard falling into the river.
"The counties and prefectures are full of smoke, and the north and south joined the army; sighing towards Qin, Mu and Chu, and relying on Liu for three years. Whoever returns to read Wang Sunshou, and revisits Qinhuai under the curtain. After wandering for a long time, I asked about peach blossoms in the past. This year, this Jiangxiang is not as gentle as before... "
Zhou Ying's pee-inducing humming sound came from far and near.
I moved to the side of the bed and covered my ears with my hands.
However it didn't help.
"I think Qing and I were on the banks of the Qinhuai River back then, watching flowers and evenings facing the moon, and we often stood shoulder to shoulder..." The shrill voice howled like mourning, and at the end of the sentence, it trembled in a serious manner, more like doing trivial things that's it.
So why did my mother take a parrot to the theater?I pulled the quilt over my head, trying to continue my dream of Spring and Autumn.
"The autumn water is long and there are too few people in the sky, the deserted sunset, there is only a tree and willow bending over..."
"I am boasting all over the world, finding the present and selling the past is life..."
It's getting more and more dramatic.
I:"……"
Then he jumped up from the bed and pulled a piece of black cloth to cover the birdcage tightly.
"The spring night lasts for a moment... Ah, help, help, Zhou Lang murdered and set fire!" It fluttered up and down, shaking the birdcage, asked for help a few times, and then changed its tune: "Come here, hurry up!" Man, Zhou Lang is going to run away from home again! Zhou Lang is going to elope with someone!"
"Shut up, you." I lifted the black cloth, smiled at it, and said, "If you keep yelling, I'll eat Zhou Ying's stewed mushrooms for lunch."
Strange to say, since I woke up from my bedroom half a year ago, this bird seems not normal.At that time, I just woke up and felt that the room was a little stuffy, so I almost stretched myself, got out of bed and opened the window.This push seemed to push Zhou Ying out of her mind——
It was still singing a ditty mesmerizingly one moment, shaking its head, looking left and right, and making eye contact with me once, and the next moment it screamed "Ah--", the ghost was upper body He seemed to start chanting some inexplicable words: "Oh my God, everyone here is going to die! Zhou Lang woke up! That kid who ran away from home woke up!"
I was helpless: "Zhou Ying, what story did you go to hear with my mother yesterday?"
It didn't pay attention to me at all, and flew around in the cage on its own, even bumping its head several times: "Back then, Fendai, where is the Shengxiao... Zhou Lang woke up... Let the boat wait for the Duanyang to calm down, and the wine collection flag will be nine Boring...Where people come and go...White birds are fluttering, green water is surging...Where are they all dead!"
"..." It might be crazy.
I just fell asleep, as for?
What made me even more confused was that not long after Zhou Yingcai went crazy, my elder brother who hadn't seen Yue pushed open the door and asked me with concern: "How is it? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
I blinked my eyes: "It's okay. I didn't feel uncomfortable in the rain yesterday, so I shouldn't catch the wind and cold. It's just a little headache."
"Yesterday?" The senior brother's face changed, he closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long while he opened his mouth and said, "Ah Lang, do you still remember..."
"Remember." I thought about how embarrassing it was this time, and said, "I left home... Well, I was caught by my father when I walked halfway out. Unluckily, I got caught in the rain on the way. , I made Zhou Ying kick her head a few times when I came back. Wait..." I covered my face with my hand, and stammered, "Brother, look at your reaction just now, I slept for more than a day? Did I have a fever after I came back? Or , kicked by Zhou Ying?"
Being kicked by a parrot a few times and being unconscious for three days and three nights shouldn't happen to me, right?
The senior brother was silent.
I:"……"
Memories come to an abrupt end.
"With my Zhou Lang's ingenuity, it definitely won't happen." I thought of it confidently, then frightened Zhou Ying with a few more words, and went back to my room to put on clothes.
I have to go out to have a wedding with my senior brother today.
By the way, the bride is the youngest girl in charge, the little girl who once grabbed my sleeve and said that I would not marry.
It is said that she and the groom met during Hanshi outing.
The little girl who was used to seeing rough people wielding knives, guns and sticks, who had no inkling in their chests, saw the elegant and elegant young man under the green peach tree, and immediately couldn't move her feet.What's more terrible is that the young master was originally writing the beauties, and as soon as he put down the pen, the ink on the red paper was still not dry, and he was handed to the little girl.
The little girl took it with a blushing face.
From then on, she probably never remembered that she once grabbed the arm of some unlucky guy and threatened: "If you don't marry me, I will become a nun!".
When the invitation was delivered to me, I carefully read the content on it twice, and finally smiled.If childhood sweethearts get married, then I will get a big gift.
It’s just that I’m probably used to bad luck. When I passed by a small town on horseback, the red silk cloth wrapped in the gift was attacked by small firecrackers flying out of the sky, and a hole was broken.
I had no choice but to get off the horse, and my brother went to the Choubu village ahead to find someone to help, and I waited for him by the bridge.
I was bored, and I saw a person on the other side of the bridge.
Wearing a green shirt, eyebrows... His eyes are covered with white silk, as if he can't see.But even so, I can still see that he is very good-looking.
How to describe it?I thought about it, and a line of poetry popped up in my mind——
It is as bright as a jade tree before the wind.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Have I ever described a person that way before?When is it?
People on the bridge go down the bridge, and people under the bridge go up the bridge.Back and forth, I stood there blankly, but it seemed that he was the only one I could see.
The setting sun melts gold, and the evening clouds merge.
He turned and walked slowly, slowly along the river, getting further and further away from me.
I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, as if I was about to be out of breath.
"A-Lang, come here." Brother called me at the gate of Choubu Village with a newly wrapped present.
I turned around and said, "Good brother."
He pulled the rein and walked towards the senior brother.
My heart is still uncomfortable, probably Zhou Ying's stupid bird took advantage of me falling asleep last night
I looked into his eyes, smiled lightly, and retorted in a low voice: "Aren't you a human trafficker?"
He was surprised: "Have you ever seen such a handsome trafficker?"
"Well, it's hard to say whether you are handsome or not. But you are—"
"It is indeed because of my handsomeness that I abducted you back."
He was talking about our first meeting.
It was midsummer at that time, and the sky changed as it said it would, and the sky was still blue and blue, but in the blink of an eye, big raindrops were falling down.Trapped in the wilderness, I looked at the baggage in my hand, and at the endless trees around me. Accompanied by the thunder that fell from time to time, I felt extremely delicate.
"You die before you leave the teacher." I wiped my face with water in one hand.
"The commander-in-chief's hero is in tears?" A voice came from behind and continued the second half of the sentence.
I shook my head: "You haven't made a name for yourself yet, who would remember you? At most, a farmer would pass by and point to the charred corpse on the ground and say, hey, another unlucky ghost."
He echoed me: "It makes sense."
I drove the road for most of the day in a muffled voice, and finally met someone who could talk to me, so I couldn't help but feel a little excited.Turning around and putting one hand on his arm, he raised his eyes and asked him, "Brother, do you feel the rain..."
I saw him hold up a 64-bone purple bamboo umbrella, half covering my head.
"..."
I silently swallowed the three words "become smaller".
"What's wrong with the rain?" He asked, I was stunned to hear some malicious intentions from his flat tone.
"It's nothing." I smiled at him, and was thinking about what to say, when he took his hand and pulled me away, "Let's go, if you stay any longer, you will really be struck by lightning."
The rain was getting heavier, and I, who was drenched in a daze, remembered that I still didn't know his last name, so I asked him aloud, "What's your name?"
crackling-
In the pouring rain, I heard him say two words.
"Lu Qiao."
He led me into a ruined temple.
It is said to be a broken temple, but in fact, apart from being a little old and messy, it is still very reliable for sheltering from wind and rain.I lit a fire with a torch, and Lu Qiao and I sat facing each other—he was roasting sweet potatoes, and I was roasting clothes.
By the way, I was wearing Lu Qiao's clothes from head to toe.
Thinking about how open-minded I am, on the first day I left home, I followed the stranger I met on the way, and it was still the kind without hesitation.The reason for this, apart from having never really seen the dangers of the world, is mostly because I am very proud of my martial arts.
This kind of complacency lasted until Lu Qiao took the sword flower and easily split the poisonous snake emerging from the firewood pile into two. Then he lifted the pot out of the pot as if by magic, and smiled very happily: "There is soup to drink."
And I didn't even notice when the snake came to my side.
"Oh." I silently unwrapped my bag to see if there was anything else that could be used.
A change of clothes, wet; banknotes, so mushy that even my own mother can’t recognize them; dagger.And these two things seem to be useless in the wilderness.
"..."
I guess my expression at that time must be very exciting.
What's even more exciting is that Lu Qiao looked at me and said at the right time: "So it's a bad idea to run away from home."
Startled, I looked up at him, meeting his gaze.
It was the first time I had looked at his face seriously, in the light of the fire.
I practice sword all the year round, and I don't like reading. There are only two descriptions of people's appearance, good-looking or bad-looking.But at that moment when I looked at him, I remembered a sentence like a ghost: "It's as bright as a jade tree before the wind."
It looks too evil.
But this is not the time to talk about how he looks.I frowned and asked him, "How do you know?"
He smiled and asked me back: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
I quietly put my hand on the saber, and put on a posture ready to rise at any time.
"What do you say?"
"Of course it's because I'm very good at reading faces. I can figure out what your name is, where you live, where your parents are, and how many brothers you have."
"..." Who would believe it, I'd better draw my sword.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." He stopped laughing, and said seriously: "I saw you on the Crane Tower, Xiao Zhou Lang."
——Guanhe Tower is a small building in my family’s villa. It is used by my father to receive friends and disciples. Outsiders can’t go up and don’t know its existence.
That's it, I let go of my saber.
After a while, he grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out, pointing to Lu Qiao and said, "Who are you calling Xiao Zhou Lang?"
I consider myself quite energetic.
As a result, Lu Qiao didn't even frown, grabbed some salt and sprinkled it into the pot, and said lightly, "Stop making trouble, come and eat."
After a while, I sat side by side with Lu Qiao with a small bowl in my hand.
Thinking about my father's friends, I don't say I know all of them, but I have probably met them, so I asked him: "Where did you learn from?"
He was gnawing on a piece of snake meat, he paused and told me: "Guangling Lu family."
Guangling Lu family?
"Who is the elder Lu who went to the fairy?"
"My father."
I suddenly remembered the news I heard years ago, and I felt some inexplicable feeling in my heart, and I fell silent immediately.
I narrowed my eyes and stared at the soup in the bowl, not knowing how to react.
The sounds of wind, rain, and unknown bird calls are all very clear at this moment.
Behind us is the stormy world, and in front of us is the golden Buddha statue on the lotus seat.The fire was shaken by the wind, and when I looked up, the benevolent eyes were hidden in the darkness, which seemed fake.
In the end, it was Lu Qiao who broke the silence.
"Little Zhou Lang, I just asked you to ask me, and I haven't asked you yet?"
"what?"
I just exposed his scars, and I still feel guilty in my heart, so I don't care about what he called me.
"There is the young owner of the bandit villa, his father loves his mother, why did he run away from home?"
"Don't you want to travel the rivers and lakes by yourself?"
"I think it's more than that." Under the firelight, his face looked very vivid.His expression changed a few times, and finally settled on a very aggressive one. "I heard that the young daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance is so beautiful..."
"Well, cough cough cough..."
I put the snake meat in Lu Qiao's mouth with no expression on my face, shut up.
"By the way, that girl is not as good-looking as you. I might as well marry you if I marry her."
I pinched Lu Qiao's face viciously, and said even more viciously.
In the following days, out of nowhere, I got mixed up with Lu Qiaosi.
This is what our conversation was like before joining us.
"Little Zhou Lang, you are leaving home, oh no, is there any route for traveling around the rivers and lakes?"
"Don't bark." I glared at him, "No."
He suggested: "Then how about I take you for a ride?"
I said quickly: "Okay."
"Ask you a question." Lu Qiao raised his eyebrows.
"what?"
Lu Qiao had a meaningful expression on his face: "You won't let me call you Little Zhou Lang, so what should I call you, Zhou Zhou, Lang Lang, or Lang'er?"
"Say something human." I heard a chill and gasped, "My senior brother calls me A-Lang."
"Oh, Ah Lang." Lu Qiao hugged his sword in his arms, "One last question."
"..."
"Just ask."
Lu Qiao winked at me: "In your heart, I am prettier than the leader's daughter?"
I picked up the bag and threw it on his head: "Compare her beauty with a girl, and she will be promising."
Then he raised his feet and walked down the mountain without looking back.
Walking straight from Shanyin is a town, and it is still a prosperous one. You can see several banks along the way.I held the horrible banknotes in my hand, looked at the gate of the bank, and then at the words "thousand taels" in a ball, and my heart ached.
I looked back at Lu Qiao.
Lu Qiao found two copper coins out of nowhere, and was just buying a bunch of candied haws and stood in the middle of the street smiling at me.Probably because my expression was too lifeless, he looked around and saw that there were no carriages and horses, so he walked quickly to my side, and put the candied haws in front of my eyes, "The first one is for you?"
"I don't mind what the little girl likes..."
Taking advantage of the gap between my words, Lu Qiao quickly stuffed the candied haws into my mouth.The sweetness of the syrup quickly melted on the tip of my tongue, and I was stunned for a moment before finishing the candied haws with Lu Qiao's hands.
"How about it, do you feel less blocked?" Lu Qiao asked me.
I shook my head and asked him back, "Do you know how much these banknotes are worth?"
He winked at me.
I whispered a value.
His complexion changed, "No, my heart hurts a little too." Immediately he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the first one."
"..."
I considered what to say.
After a while, I still didn't think about it.
Instead he hooked my neck and smiled. "Silly boy, you can't exchange the banknote even if it's not soaked in water. Is it because you're afraid that your father won't find you for such a large amount of silver?"
What he said is reasonable, and it's not that I haven't thought about this issue, but I said with a terrified neck, "I practice martial arts with my father when I urinate, and I don't learn much about other things, because I don't need to do anything else in the villa. Thinking about making a living..."
"I said I would take you to the rivers and lakes, so these things should naturally be resolved by me." He hooked me and walked forward, and while talking, he took a half-eaten candied haws in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Come on, call!" Brother, come and listen."
"Lu Qiao, I wonder if you still remember one thing?"
"what?"
"Mr. Lu met my father in Huizhou back then, and the two hit it off with each other, and worshiped him in front of many people from the rivers and lakes..."
Mr. Lu is Lu Qiao's grandfather. If he and my father are considered to be of the same generation, then I should be of the same generation as Lu Qiao's father.
So, "Nephew, call uncle to come and listen?" I touched Lu Qiao's hand and bit another candied haws.
"Uncle, can you write?" Lu Qiao asked me suddenly.
"what"
Lu Qiao pointed to the recruitment notice on the wall, "The opportunity to support the family has come."
I moved to the left to see the content of the notice clearly.The content can be summed up as follows—to recruit a customer, two people are required—a man and a scholar.
The salary is quite good, calculated on a monthly basis, but it is a pity that only one person is recruited.
So should I get a job too?
I shared this idea with Lu Qiao, and after hearing this, Lu Qiao touched my head and said, "No need." He smiled brightly.
It wasn't until the day I actually set up the stall that I realized what he meant by "no need".
He sat there to write letters for others, and I sat beside him and rubbed ink for him.
"So what's the point of you asking me if I know how to write?" During the break, I drank a bowl of red bayberry juice and gave Lu Qiao a sip from time to time.
Lu Qiao turned his wrist: "But you don't meet their requirements."
I disagree: "Which one?"
"Such an obvious thing needs to be explained in detail, of course I am a scholar."
I held down the sword, and he quickly added, "You are a hero."
"What about you?" I asked.
"Me..." He deliberately dragged out the tone, leaned into my ear and said, "A hero who has read a lot of poetry and books."
With a movement of my hand, the sword came out of its sheath an inch, but my nephew pressed it back with internal force.
"Be happy, a guest is here."
Looking up, there was an old woman walking tremblingly towards the stall.
She sat down opposite Lu Qiao, and the first thing she said was: "You two brothers have such a good relationship."
Lu Qiao: "Yes, my brother has been clinging to me since he was a child."
Me: "..." Let's forget about poisoning Lu Qiao's dinner.
Lifting the bowl in my hand, drinking the last bit of red, I got into the teahouse on the left to listen to the story.
When I finished drinking the No. 30 bowl of bayberry juice I bought at Granny Zhao's, I realized that I had been in this small town for more than a month.
Coincidentally, as soon as this idea came up, two voices entered my ears at the same time.
One is at the letter stand on the right. Lu Qiao was reading a letter to someone, and he was reading Jiang Jie's "Liuguang is easy to throw people away, and the cherries are red, and the plantains are green".
The other is in the teahouse on the left, where the storyteller asked the listeners a question - what is Jianghu?
I suddenly became interested, and listened to the chattering discussion inside.
Some say that they are utterly honest, some say that horses are fast and fur is light, and some say that wine is good and beautiful women.Twos and threes form a faction, or argue, or agree, the content may be different, but the general idea is surprisingly consistent-the rivers and lakes, or the people in the rivers and lakes, every day they live is a legend.
I chuckled, put the bowl in my hand on the table, and in the blink of an eye I saw that I was writing a letter to Lu Shaoxia.
How did you spend the past thirty days?
In other words, how did I live with him?
Practice swords, set up stalls, and cook with fire.Occasionally, I bicker over who put more salt in the dish, and occasionally fight over the last shrimp on the plate. Occasionally, no, often, I often lean against the wall with my sword in my arms, and watch the little girls use all kinds of prawns. Way to express his heart to Lu Qiao Mingli and secretly.
Tall and handsome, he is also very knowledgeable, and he is indeed a good husband-in-law.This was said by a little girl in front of me. I kept my mouth idle and couldn't control it all of a sudden, and then said: "Yes, it would be great if I could talk more about people." After staring, I glanced into the distance as if nothing had happened, and it took me a long time to remember that every time this girl looked at Lu Qiao, there was a green light in her eyes.
At first, Lu Qiao politely refused to talk to people, but then he may have seen me watching the excitement too vigorously, so he directly pulled me as a shield, and said, "My brother is still young and needs to be taken care of by his elder brother", It directly blocked the girls' full stomach.
From time to time after that, I felt a chill behind my back.
As soon as the thoughts are far away, the people, things and voices around him become blurred, only Lu Qiao's face is still alive.The setting sun put away the last rays of light, and even the heat of midsummer dissipated a lot. I came back to my senses and heard Lu Qiao whisper in my ear: "Close the stall and go home."
Then he took my arm and turned into the alley.
I was a little dazed and followed him. After taking a few steps, I suddenly remembered that the storyteller was supposed to give an answer, so I listened attentively, only to hear him say the four words "the so-called rivers and lakes", and then, The wind blew past my ears, and scattered the rest of the words at the door of the teahouse.
In the evening, Lu Qiao was in charge of the spoon, and I helped to cook a pot of fish soup.When the fragrance wafted away, Lu Qiao filled a bowl for me and asked me how I was doing; I looked at his look like asking for credit, and wanted to tease him, so I pretended to rack my brains to think of words to praise him, and it took me a long time. Hold back the word "good".
His face went dark.
I snickered and buried my head in the bowl, and continued to drink my soup.
"By the way, guess what I heard in the teahouse today?"
"what?"
"I didn't even think about it." I dismissed him, and recounted to him what I heard today.
"Hey, it's too ordinary to live a life."
Satisfied with wine and food, the two of us went to the house to Jiewa, no, we went to the roof to watch the stars.He rested his head on his arm, with a straw in his mouth: "When your father sends someone to chase after you, life will be wonderful."
"Are you sincerely here to make things difficult for me?"
"How can it be? I love my brother the most."
"Oh." I gave Lu Qiao a blank look, and didn't speak for a long time.It wasn't until the frogs in the pond stopped that I turned around and said to Lu Qiao half seriously and half jokingly: "I don't think you took me to swim in the rivers and lakes."
"What's that?" He just opened his eyes, full of stars.
"What do you think?" I smiled and fell asleep in a daze.
In the dream, it seemed that someone was smiling and saying to me: "You are planted."
It's all because of Lu Qiao's crow's mouth. Just two days after he said that, my senior brother came to the door.
I was so startled that I carried the bag in my left hand and pulled Lu Qiao in the right, and hurried to the crowded place. Before I ran, a thought flashed through my mind—fortunately, my salary for last month was paid.
Lu Qiao didn't realize what was going on at first, and teased me: "You are going to elope with me." After a while, he understood, and instead held my hand, he began to do light work, flying out of the old house in twos and threes. However, when I looked back, my brother had already followed me.
"Your brother's qinggong is pretty good." Lu Qiao commented with interest.
I didn't think about it: "That's up to you?" As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that I seemed to be led astray by Lu Qiao, so I raised my voice and said, "Nephew, can you be a little conscious of being chased by someone?"
"Okay, Uncle." Lu Qiao tipped his toes, led me around a few streets, and got into a tailor's shop.The shop is bright red, very dazzling.
I don't really want to mention what happened afterwards.
I put on my wedding dress, covered my hijab, and was stuffed into the wedding sedan chair by Lu Qiao.Before closing the door, Lu Qiao leaned down and smiled in my ear: "Don't worry, I'm here."
The voice is very low, but inexplicably makes people feel reliable.
I was moved.
Lu Qiao went on to say, "Who can snatch away my old Lu family's daughter-in-law?"
My previous emotion was like feeding the dog.
"You better shut up." I cursed with a smile, and then the car curtain was lowered, and my eyes suddenly darkened.
I think I may have been stunned by my senior brother.
Not long after sitting in the sedan chair, the phrase that my junior sister often chanted, "After putting on makeup, ask your husband in a low voice, whether the thrush is deep or shallow".
"..."
I shook my head, thinking where did all these monsters come from, I might as well memorize more sword formulas.
After about half a stick of incense, Lu Qiao came back.
He deliberately lowered his breath, opened the car curtain before I noticed someone approaching, wrapped his arms around my waist, and led me up to the roof.
"..."
In fact, sometimes I am quite curious about how he got this habit of going to the room every now and then, and I actually asked about it.
"You..." Lu Qiao sighed, it was the first time I heard him speak so helplessly.
He reached out, pressed my shoulders and turned me towards him, and slowly, lifted my hijab.
"Didn't my senior brother leave? You just..."
When I saw his current appearance clearly, all the remaining words were stranded on my lips.
He changed into a big red robe.
"You..." I hesitated.
"Why, do you still want to admit it even after taking off the hijab?" He looked at me deeply, with rare seriousness in his eyes. "It's not rivers and lakes that I took you to swim, what is that?"
I was stunned for a while, looking at the blue sky behind Lu Qiao, I slowly smiled.
I blinked, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's Hong Chen."
I can't stay in the town any longer, otherwise my father will personally catch me within two days.When I walked past the archway at the gate of the town with my burden on my back, I looked back.
"Why, can't bear it?" Lu Qiao asked me.
I replied: "Yes, I can't bear to miss Granny Zhao's bayberry juice, Uncle Yang's osmanthus cake, Aunt Qian's squirrel fish, drunk chicken, glutinous rice lotus root, snowflake crab bucket, boiled dried shredded..."
Lu Qiao was amused by me: "Stop talking, it sounds really hungry."
I laughed along and asked him, "Where are we going next?"
"Where are you going..." He took my hand and said in a drawn out tone, "Three mountains and five mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, or something else, wherever you want to go, we will go there."
I rolled my eyes: "That entanglement is not enough."
"I still have a small bag in my luggage. It's enough to support the family, ma'am."
"Who is your Madam?"
"My A-Lang."
"Don't bark!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"..."
In the days that followed, Lu Qiao and I rode horses with swords on our backs, wandering around aimlessly.Just skip the things that you are not interested in, and stop and rest for ten days and a half months for those that are novel and interesting.Occasionally, when we encountered injustice, the two of us would take turns to fight, this time it was him and the next time it was me. Once the sword on our back was unsheathed, basically there was nothing wrong with it.
We stayed in the water town for a while.
I rented a boat, packed up pots and pans and pillows, and just lived on the water.At that time, the days were mostly sunny, and the sun was very good, so we often sat on the bow, or talked and laughed, or had wine, or he was fishing and I read books—of course I read fashionable legends, from the light of the sky. From the first appearance to the afterglow of the setting sun, it may pass in the blink of an eye.
It also rained a few times.
At this time, Lu Qiao liked to put on a show and said, "Hey, it's a good thing that it's raining. I heard that Hero Lu just picked up a wife in the rain."
I lay on his lap, listening to the pattering rain outside, and said casually: "That girl is so pitiful, she is so blind at such a young age."
Lu Qiao was shocked: "So our A-Lang is a girl?"
I raised my hand to pull his face: "Nephew, look clearly, I am your uncle."
So he looked down at me for a long time, finally heaved a heavy sigh, and said quietly: "Our A-Lang is so pitiful, so young, so stupid."
I was chased from the bow to the stern by me.
When night fell—I often leaned on the bow of the boat and listened to the people on the bridge singing a ditty while he was making dinner. Wu Nong's soft words mixed with the hot wind on the water, I fell asleep after listening to it.This sleep usually lasts until Lu Qiao finishes the meal, and the intriguing fragrance wafts over. I rubbed my eyes, only to realize that it was already dark.
The moon hangs high.Outside the boat is Jiang Feng Yuhuo, and someone in the boat is sitting at the small table with a face of misfortune, waiting for me to have dinner.
For the first time in my life, I regretted my ignorance. If I could, I should draw this scene.
For the breeze and bright moon, for us who are flamboyant at the moment.
And ever since Lu Qiao knew that I would fall asleep at dusk, Wuliu Liu rolled his eyes and had other thoughts—he quietly rowed the boat to the second half of the river while I was still asleep go.After I bid farewell to Duke Zhou, when I looked outside, I was overwhelmed with bewilderment, and I thought I was caught by my brother.
I also thought about what to do when I went back to see my father.Should I just plop down on my knees and beg him to help him without saying a word, or should I tell him with tears that I just looked at Lu Qiao blindly and it can't be cured.These two methods seem to be quite scary?
wrong.
I stood at the bow of the boat, and when the night wind blew, my head woke up instantly.I lowered my head and walked into the cabin, and caught a glimpse of Lu Qiao looking at me happily.
"..." My eldest nephew is really in a mess.
I drew the sword and was about to shave him. He smiled, and quickly stretched out his chopsticks to clamp the tip of the sword. With the other hand, he picked up a plate and approached me, "Your favorite horseshoe cake?" .”
The anger in my heart was not actually anger at all, it was just getting used to getting along with him like this, and it was gone soon.
When we had had enough fish, we retreated to the shore and rode to Huizhou.
After paying the rent for a small backyard in an alley, I fell straight onto the bed.After nestling on the water for a long time, when I saw the bed again, it was like reuniting with an old friend, and I could talk about the old days for three days and three nights.Lu Qiao stared at me for a moment, seeing that I had no intention of getting up, so he reluctantly stuffed me with a pillow, closed the door and went out.
In a flash, many days have passed.
On the day of Frost's Descent, a pigeon flew over from the yard with a letter tied to its leg.
"It's from my junior brother." Lu Qiao said, "Do you know... how my parents got there?"
I nodded: "I heard a little bit."
More than that.Once this matter was spread, it was discussed in Jianghu for more than two months.
——Old head Lu practiced kung fu until he became obsessed, and when he was unconscious, he killed his wife with a sword, and then died from the severance of his meridians.
"I was also confused at first. My father is not a quick-tempered person, so he wouldn't go to the point where he went crazy. But I saw my mother with my own eyes..." He closed his eyes, his face was already very bad, and instead of saying It's grief, or rather, I feel more and more murderous aura from him. "So it was him..."
The spread letter paper came into my eyes, and I read it with bated breath, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Before I met Lu Qiao, all my impressions of the Lu family in Guangling came from the old head Lu.
Similar to what was rumored in the world, Mr. Lu, the head of the sect, is a gentleman, gentle as jade, and a very good-tempered person.Such a person, logically speaking, is unlikely to go mad, unless...
Before he retreated to practice, he met a person.
That person was his closest junior brother when he was young, senior uncle Lu Qiao, and now the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Ji Xuan.
Full of hypocrisy, he came all the way from the capital city, called his senior brother after a long absence, and then handed Old Master Lu Ji Xuan half a jar of drugged wine.
I held Lu Qiao's trembling hand: "When will I go find him?"
As soon as the voice fell, I felt that the wind around me seemed to be stronger than usual.
"He's here." Lu Qiao opened his eyes, gently rubbed my head, and forced a smile: "Just find any place to play for a while, don't let his blood stain your eyes. "
"But……"
"Be obedient." Lu Qiao drew his sword out of its sheath: "He can't beat me."
I stood by the window of a certain empty building and watched Lu Qiao use his ultimate move to cover Ji Xuan's head and face, and Ji Xuan retreated step by step, as if he was about to be unable to hold on.
Sure enough, in just three moves, Lu Qiao's sword passed through Ji Xuan's chest.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
wrong!
Without hesitation, I ignited the contact fireworks of the Bandit Villa, and jumped down from the attic.
The one who fell in front of Lu Qiao was not Ji Xuan at all, the real Ji Xuan was hiding in a tree, and he was pointing his bow at Lu Qiao's back——
Swish, the sound of arrows coming in the wind.
Bang, the sound of me drawing my sword and cutting it off.
I looked at Lu Qiao, only to realize that he had discovered everything a long time ago, including that the person who fought against him earlier was a scapegoat, and that besides Ji Xuan, there were at least three Jinyiwei in the courtyard.
……
Before the people from Bandit Villa came, Lu Qiao's white clothes were already blood-red.
"Why are you so misbehaving? I'll punish you to cook for a month later." Lu Qiao finally inserted the sword into Ji Xuan's heart, and when he pulled it out, blood splashed on his face and his eyes.
"you……"
Before I could finish speaking, he clenched his sword tightly and flew towards the door.
There is also a Jinyiwei there.
I picked up the sword and chased to the door, but my mind suddenly became confused. The part that was injured by Ji Xuan's sword energy was in pain.
There are flowers in front of my eyes.
Before I passed out completely, I saw a figure outside the yard falling into the river.
"The counties and prefectures are full of smoke, and the north and south joined the army; sighing towards Qin, Mu and Chu, and relying on Liu for three years. Whoever returns to read Wang Sunshou, and revisits Qinhuai under the curtain. After wandering for a long time, I asked about peach blossoms in the past. This year, this Jiangxiang is not as gentle as before... "
Zhou Ying's pee-inducing humming sound came from far and near.
I moved to the side of the bed and covered my ears with my hands.
However it didn't help.
"I think Qing and I were on the banks of the Qinhuai River back then, watching flowers and evenings facing the moon, and we often stood shoulder to shoulder..." The shrill voice howled like mourning, and at the end of the sentence, it trembled in a serious manner, more like doing trivial things that's it.
So why did my mother take a parrot to the theater?I pulled the quilt over my head, trying to continue my dream of Spring and Autumn.
"The autumn water is long and there are too few people in the sky, the deserted sunset, there is only a tree and willow bending over..."
"I am boasting all over the world, finding the present and selling the past is life..."
It's getting more and more dramatic.
I:"……"
Then he jumped up from the bed and pulled a piece of black cloth to cover the birdcage tightly.
"The spring night lasts for a moment... Ah, help, help, Zhou Lang murdered and set fire!" It fluttered up and down, shaking the birdcage, asked for help a few times, and then changed its tune: "Come here, hurry up!" Man, Zhou Lang is going to run away from home again! Zhou Lang is going to elope with someone!"
"Shut up, you." I lifted the black cloth, smiled at it, and said, "If you keep yelling, I'll eat Zhou Ying's stewed mushrooms for lunch."
Strange to say, since I woke up from my bedroom half a year ago, this bird seems not normal.At that time, I just woke up and felt that the room was a little stuffy, so I almost stretched myself, got out of bed and opened the window.This push seemed to push Zhou Ying out of her mind——
It was still singing a ditty mesmerizingly one moment, shaking its head, looking left and right, and making eye contact with me once, and the next moment it screamed "Ah--", the ghost was upper body He seemed to start chanting some inexplicable words: "Oh my God, everyone here is going to die! Zhou Lang woke up! That kid who ran away from home woke up!"
I was helpless: "Zhou Ying, what story did you go to hear with my mother yesterday?"
It didn't pay attention to me at all, and flew around in the cage on its own, even bumping its head several times: "Back then, Fendai, where is the Shengxiao... Zhou Lang woke up... Let the boat wait for the Duanyang to calm down, and the wine collection flag will be nine Boring...Where people come and go...White birds are fluttering, green water is surging...Where are they all dead!"
"..." It might be crazy.
I just fell asleep, as for?
What made me even more confused was that not long after Zhou Yingcai went crazy, my elder brother who hadn't seen Yue pushed open the door and asked me with concern: "How is it? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
I blinked my eyes: "It's okay. I didn't feel uncomfortable in the rain yesterday, so I shouldn't catch the wind and cold. It's just a little headache."
"Yesterday?" The senior brother's face changed, he closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long while he opened his mouth and said, "Ah Lang, do you still remember..."
"Remember." I thought about how embarrassing it was this time, and said, "I left home... Well, I was caught by my father when I walked halfway out. Unluckily, I got caught in the rain on the way. , I made Zhou Ying kick her head a few times when I came back. Wait..." I covered my face with my hand, and stammered, "Brother, look at your reaction just now, I slept for more than a day? Did I have a fever after I came back? Or , kicked by Zhou Ying?"
Being kicked by a parrot a few times and being unconscious for three days and three nights shouldn't happen to me, right?
The senior brother was silent.
I:"……"
Memories come to an abrupt end.
"With my Zhou Lang's ingenuity, it definitely won't happen." I thought of it confidently, then frightened Zhou Ying with a few more words, and went back to my room to put on clothes.
I have to go out to have a wedding with my senior brother today.
By the way, the bride is the youngest girl in charge, the little girl who once grabbed my sleeve and said that I would not marry.
It is said that she and the groom met during Hanshi outing.
The little girl who was used to seeing rough people wielding knives, guns and sticks, who had no inkling in their chests, saw the elegant and elegant young man under the green peach tree, and immediately couldn't move her feet.What's more terrible is that the young master was originally writing the beauties, and as soon as he put down the pen, the ink on the red paper was still not dry, and he was handed to the little girl.
The little girl took it with a blushing face.
From then on, she probably never remembered that she once grabbed the arm of some unlucky guy and threatened: "If you don't marry me, I will become a nun!".
When the invitation was delivered to me, I carefully read the content on it twice, and finally smiled.If childhood sweethearts get married, then I will get a big gift.
It’s just that I’m probably used to bad luck. When I passed by a small town on horseback, the red silk cloth wrapped in the gift was attacked by small firecrackers flying out of the sky, and a hole was broken.
I had no choice but to get off the horse, and my brother went to the Choubu village ahead to find someone to help, and I waited for him by the bridge.
I was bored, and I saw a person on the other side of the bridge.
Wearing a green shirt, eyebrows... His eyes are covered with white silk, as if he can't see.But even so, I can still see that he is very good-looking.
How to describe it?I thought about it, and a line of poetry popped up in my mind——
It is as bright as a jade tree before the wind.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Have I ever described a person that way before?When is it?
People on the bridge go down the bridge, and people under the bridge go up the bridge.Back and forth, I stood there blankly, but it seemed that he was the only one I could see.
The setting sun melts gold, and the evening clouds merge.
He turned and walked slowly, slowly along the river, getting further and further away from me.
I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, as if I was about to be out of breath.
"A-Lang, come here." Brother called me at the gate of Choubu Village with a newly wrapped present.
I turned around and said, "Good brother."
He pulled the rein and walked towards the senior brother.
My heart is still uncomfortable, probably Zhou Ying's stupid bird took advantage of me falling asleep last night
