As the end of the new year approaches, red lights hang high on the streets, people come and go, and the festive atmosphere becomes stronger.

A group of people meandered from a distance, although it was not publicized, the extraordinary nobility between the brows was still eye-catching in the crowd.

Meng Yun and Yue Li followed Song Jiang and Hua Rong, silently admiring the scenery on both sides.The streets in the Song Dynasty are simple and prosperous, coupled with people's antique and simple clothes, exquisite and unique gadgets, there is a kind of ancient charm of peace and warmth, not a sense of fireworks.From time to time, peddlers came up to sell their own items, which made the two of them playful, unknowingly spent dozens of taels of silver, and exchanged a bunch of small items that they had and didn't have, and handed them over to Qinlan and Qianmo. It has the taste of sweeping up supermarkets in modern times.

"Hey, sister, there are a lot of people there, let's go and have a look!" Yue Li was holding a piece of hot rice cake, the warm beige color of the pastry complemented her light yellow jacket, making her whole body overflowing. The breath of sunshine and warmth is very pleasant.Huarong turned around and smiled: "Li'er, you didn't eat in the morning, you just bought something to eat when you came out, so you don't have to worry about choking on the cold wind and stomach pain." Yue Li flattened her mouth: "Li'er hasn't been out for a long time, so I just want to taste it, brother How stingy. Brother Song, let's go and have a look, it's so lively there!" Song Jiang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, since Yue Li wants to go and see the excitement, why don't we go?" Hua Rong Helpless: "Brother, don't let her go. Let's go and have a look."

There are really a lot of people! Seeing such a large group of people, Mengyun's head grew dizzy.Fortunately, there is Huarong, a well-known Zhizhai, so Mengyun reluctantly followed the crowd to let Huarong squeeze in.Heh heh, the iron law of officials oppressing the people is true no matter what era it is!

The street was originally a group of people from the rivers and lakes.Coincidentally, this group of people was on the street, with the countryside behind them, a horizontal pole was erected a hundred paces away, and there seemed to be several black spots of different heights dangling under the pole.With Mengyun's 5.0 eyesight when she was in school, she could barely make out that the dozen or so black dots were copper coins tied up with threads. As for the thread, she really couldn't see it... so far away, it is probably made of silk thread The tied copper coins were swaying from side to side in the wind, making me dizzy just looking at them.A sturdy man standing next to him said with a Kansai accent: "Everyone, we are all idlers who wander around the rivers and lakes, relying on our skills to make a living. Today, I have the power to report to you. Those of you who are heroes here, pull away this Bow, five taels of silver, if you hit one copper coin, five taels of gold, if you open the bow three times, I will give you all of my life savings, one hundred taels of gold, as a gift!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd booed and all gasped.One hundred taels of gold, for these small people, is a wealth that is beyond reach in a lifetime, who wouldn't feel itchy?Someone shouted: "Man Wu, how heavy is your bow!" The man smiled humbly: "This bow weighs 81 catties."

Hiss... The crowd became more and more agitated. 81 catties, how could they pull it away.Finally, a middle-aged man who seemed to be fairly strong walked out of the crowd: "Master, let me try it!" The big man in Kansai laughed hurriedly: "Hakka, we also need money. If you want to try to draw a bow like a villain , two taels of silver, please." Mengyun couldn't help but secretly sighed at the shrewdness of the businessman.Two taels at a time is equivalent to the monthly income of ordinary people.There is always something to be gained by taking advantage of people's competitive spirit.As for the bow, well, there are not many people in the world who can pull it open. What a hundred taels of gold is clearly a bad promise.

Looking back at Huarong, he didn't move at all, just smiled indifferently, his eyes like the night sky implied deep meaning, it couldn't be said whether it was admiration or disdain.The perfect arc of the slightly raised lips is calm and natural, and it is full of mystique, which attracts the sideways glances of several folk women nearby, blushing.

Mengyun despised her in her heart, and rolled her eyes.Damn beautiful man, how can he provoke love everywhere! Hua Rong saw her expression and understood it, took her hand directly, ignoring others.Now it was Meng Yun's turn to blush and look around, those women's eyes shot at her in unison, full of envy, jealousy and hatred...

Well, nympho is not easy to mess with, she has learned...

When he looked at the man again, he was really not reconciled, paid the silver as he said, and went up to lift the bow.Maybe I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, and I relaxed for a while when I lifted it upwards, but I didn't move it.The man struggled until his cheeks were flushed and his back was sweating profusely, so he managed to lift the bow, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it away, and came back unhappy.

The big man from Kansai was about to speak when a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy came out from the crowd and said with a smile, "Master, how about letting me have a try?"

This man looks so familiar, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, loose black hair, a gentle and dazzling smile like sunshine, his handsome face is not inferior to Hua Rong.He is... He Ran? !Meng Yun almost exclaimed.Shu Ran glanced this way intentionally or unintentionally, without changing his expression, as if he was not worried that Hua Rong would point him out.Hua Rong remained calm, watching with a smile.

Meng Yun secretly worried, why are these two people so weird, they are so calm...scary.

Although he picked up the bow, he frowned, obviously he rarely encountered such a heavy bow.After a pause, he suddenly took an arrow, exerted force on his arm, and bit his lower lip slightly. When the string rang, the arrow flew out, and a copper plate fell down in response.Everyone cheered.

Only then did Huarong let go of Mengyun's hand, and walked forward.The man was an outsider who didn't know Huarong, so he just smiled and said, "Hakka, be careful." When Shuran saw him, he didn't show respect, and beat the bow across the air.Mengyun was taken aback, God, what did he want to do, the 81-jin bow will kill people!Hua Rong dodged, waved his cloud sleeves, Wang Kong caught the bow, and shook it in his hand. There was a little approving smile in his eyes, and he took five arrows from the flying fish bag, put them on the bow together, and opened the bow. The full moon, the arrow shoots a meteor, and shoots out like flying.Before everyone could see, Hua Rong had already shot four more arrows, but the others hadn't seen the movement clearly, "Pa, pa, pa!"

The crowd was silent and stunned for a long time before bursting into bursts of applause.

Brother Huarong, are you still human... Mengyun looked at the young man in white clothes on the field speechlessly, and in his imagination, thousands of people shouted: "Hua knows the magic arrow of the village! Hua knows the might of the village..." She worshiped...

Hua Rong put down the bow, and saluted with a smile: "Farewell." The man was dumbfounded, a hundred taels of gold, this... Song Jiang and Hua Rong looked at each other and smiled, then turned and left knowingly, Meng Yun hurriedly pulled Yue Li to follow, Regardless of the sound of praise from the crowd behind him.It's just a game, you can just play it, why bother trying to make money for these people who are wandering around the rivers and lakes.After walking a few steps, Su Ran came up from behind, his eyes full of youthful stubbornness: "Hua Zhizhai, I am no longer the king of the mountain, I want to learn how to shoot from you."

He resigned from the mountain just to learn guns from him.Yue Li didn't know him: "Who are you, what are you doing to stop us for no reason!" Seeing her, Shu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm next to you, Shu Ran." Yue Li was not afraid at all, and looked at him for a while: "Oh , you are the one who always troubles my brother. What are you doing here?" Shuran ignored her and turned to Hua Rong: "Zhizhai, Shuran has nowhere to go now, please Zhizhai to stay for a while."

However, this person is stubborn and cute, if he is a little more mature, he can teach him.Huarong smiled and said: "In this case, the master of Zhuzhai can go back to the mansion with Huarong, and be the head of the army and horses under the tent first, okay?" He Ran didn't care: "Let it be arranged by Zhizhai."

Mengyun is helpless... What is the situation, the original opponent has become the current superior and subordinate, this is too...so, the friendship between men sometimes comes in a very strange way...

In the winter afternoon, the sun is warm.

Everyone was chatting in the backyard garden, sitting quietly at the side, silent.

Song Jiang noticed his silence, and asked with a smile, "What is the birthday of Brother Zhu Xian this year?" Seeing the question, Shu Ran smiled and said, "Ran is sixteen this year." One year older than you." Song Jiang paused for a moment, and asked with concern: "My dear brother's parents..." Shu Ran's always bright eyes darkened for a moment: "Hu Ran... never knew who his parents were, and he was with him since he was a child. I grew up in the mountains, and the former owner of the village, Zhu Mo, is my adoptive father."

The atmosphere is slightly heavy.Seeing his dejected look, Mengyun's heart tightened.How could a boy as gentle as the sun have such a dark side?Song Jiang was silent for a moment, and said: "Forget it. Song Jiang sees that Brother Zhu and Brother Hua Rong are like brothers, why not you and I are here today to marry Jinlan, okay?" "Hua Rongyingxiu's eyes were full of smiles: "It's all up to my brother to decide."

Among the lingering sandalwood, the sincere smiles of the three reflected the warmth of the whole court.The awe-inspiring oath is shocking in this warmth:

"The emperor is above, and the earth is the proof: Today, I, Song Jiang, Huarong, and Huran, although I have different surnames, are brothers. We share blessings and difficulties together. Work together to save the poor and help the danger. Report to the country and go down to safety. Li Shu. I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. The emperor and the queen of the earth, learn from this heart; unjust and ungrateful, heaven and man will kill together!"

Several cases rose, and a few cigarettes were precipitated, reflecting the frank and sincere smiles of everyone, leading directly to Bi Xiao.The oath they made from the inside still echoes, reporting to the country and going down to Anlishu, is a promise they will protect for the rest of their lives.Unknown suffering lies ahead, and on a snowy night, do they know that the fate that awaits them has cast a deep shadow.

Taiping was originally decided by the general, and the general was not allowed to see Taiping.

Unconsciously, the New Year has passed, and it coincides with the Lantern Festival.The Zhizhai mansion is full of palace lanterns, all of which are wrapped in tulle and painted with fine brushwork, like silver waves.

On the main pavilion, Hua Rong stood leaning on his gun, his military uniform still in place.The young Yingxiu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his dazzling eyes like morning stars were very anxious, but they still did not lose their alluring elegance.

Liu Gao, the thief, even arrested brother Gongming.Is this embarrassing him? But what about his matter and his brother?In case... In case something happens to his brother, he really can't guarantee what will happen to him.He gave in repeatedly, just because he didn't want to damage his father's reputation, and he didn't want them to worry about suffering.But if...

"Report! Zhizhai, Liu Zhizhai not only called back the younger one, but also said... that Song Daguan is a bandit, and Zhizhai is also a fornicating bandit..." Xiaobing came in and knelt down. "What?" Hua Rong raised his eyebrows, and suppressed anger surged up all of a sudden: "Big brother! Prepare the horse!" He couldn't bear it any longer. If these people hurt Brother Gongming, he would definitely let him be buried with him!

The torch was bright, the gun was drawn and the stick was pulled, and he rode away on a flying horse, and the dark brown cloak danced resolutely.

Meng Yun came out from behind the screen, looked at his leaving back, with strange sadness in her eyes.Just now, she was right behind him and could stop him at any time.She clearly knew that this time, it would be difficult for him to turn back.But how can she open her mouth? This is the arrogance in his bones, the loyalty and belief he guarded until death, that is his strict adherence, how could she selfishly imprison him here and ruin his life ?He is destined not to belong to this filthy officialdom, his innocence is as desolate and firm as a late cherry blossom, he would rather be a piece of mud than submit to power, how can she let him compromise?He is the snow falling from the sky who refuses to get half of the dust in the world, he is the innocent cherry blossom in late spring, how can he fall into the world of mortals because of her.

Eternal hatred, reincarnation taste.The impermanence of this world is doomed to hurt people in Qingyuan.

It was three o'clock before his footsteps sounded in the back hall.

Meng Yun hadn't slept well yet, saw him coming in, and hurriedly got up: "Are you back? You... and Brother Song, are you okay?" Hua Rong suddenly leaned on the pillow, looking a little tired: "Brother was injured by that person, I've asked someone to look at it, and there's nothing serious." Mengyun leaned on his shoulder, took off his official boots and pulled up the quilt with distress: "You're tired, go to sleep. I'll sing you a song from my hometown , okay?" Hua Rong was really tired, and closed her eyes: "En." Seeing his exhausted appearance, Meng Yun couldn't help but feel sad, so she leaned beside him, softly singing the song she used to like very much :

"Because I love your love, because I dream of your dreams, I am sad about your sadness, and I am happy about your happiness. Because I have passed your way, because I have suffered through your suffering, so I am happy about your happiness, chasing after you Your pursuit. Because I dare not listen to the oath, because I dare not believe the promise, so I rest assured of your silence, to convince the fate of tomorrow, no wind and rain can escape, no ups and downs do not have to go, so I hold your hand with peace of mind, do not go I wonder whether I should look back. Maybe holding hands, the past life may not be easy to walk, maybe the road with companions will be busier in this life. So holding hands, we will walk together in the next life, so those who have companions Road, there is no time to turn back..."

The moonlight is like water, and the youth is like the moon.Mengyan looked at his slightly frowning eyebrows, even when he fell asleep, he still didn't let go of those thoughts, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.This kind of him made her feel bad. She wanted him to let go of those falsehoods, but she couldn't bear him to make things difficult.

Because I love him, I am willing to fulfill him.

"Zhizhai, Zhizhai!" Qianmo's voice was terrified: "Zhizhai forgive me! The slaves should not have disturbed Zhizhai, but..." Hua Rong was woken up, and reluctantly opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" Qianmo knelt down: "Zhizhai, Liu Zhizhai sent people to surround the door, and heard from the boys on the second door that they want..." Hua Rong smiled slightly: "It's the two new coaches. How many people did you bring?" Qianmo just settled down, and said, "It's those two. According to the boys, there seem to be more than a hundred people..."

There are more than a hundred people, and his Qingfeng Village has thousands of elite soldiers. In his Zhizhai Mansion alone, there are more than a hundred people guarding him! Hua Rong raised his lips contemptuously: "Tell the boys, let them wait. Just wait." Say I'm resting, and we'll meet again at dawn." Qianmo hesitated for a moment, and agreed to go out.

Mengyun felt uneasy: "If you hang them outside, will it..." Huarong was really tired, lay back on the pillow and closed his eyes and said, "Ask them if they dare? Don't say there are more than a hundred people in our house , even if I was the only one, they didn’t dare to take a step through the door. It’s getting late, go to sleep.” Mengyun was also really tired, her eyes were sore and astringent, and she couldn’t help falling asleep.

A deep dream, regardless of the stars and the moon.

When Mengyun woke up in a daze, it was already broad daylight and Hua Rong was no longer in the house.Qianmo heard the movement, lifted the curtain and came in: "Ma'am is awake? Zhizhai just finished dealing with those people, and now he is in the Song official's room." Complicated emotions surged in Mengyun's heart, stuffy and uncomfortably blocked: " Bring me some clothes, and I'll go take a look."

Bin Ruoxuan in the front hall.

A young man stood at the window, with loose blue hair, white clothes better than snow, and lonely eyes scattered in the wind, he was actually a peerless youth.

Meng Yun stepped into the door, only to see him pondering by the window, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Brother Song?" Hua Rong turned around, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes as deep as a lake, and it was as clear as the late autumn wind: "This is not the right place, my brother has gone to Qingfeng Mountain. Sometimes, the place of bandits is safer than my prefect's house, isn't it?"

Meng Yun's heart trembled: "Why do you say that?" Hua Rong sat on the chair and chuckled: "The truth. My brother and I don't want to do our own thing quietly, but unfortunately, there is no room here. Yun Son, it's best to be safe this time, if there is any accident, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it any longer.

Looking at the pair of eyes that made her addicted but now somewhat clearer and desolate, Mengyun felt a little relieved.It's good that he can escape these shackles, at least he won't be in pain: "If you think it's good, then it's good. I'll wait for you." Hua Rong looked at her for a while, and suddenly hugged her so tightly, as if Once let go, it will be lost forever.The familiar scent of cherry blossoms lingered around her, making her so warm.

"Brother, Supervisor Huang is here." A hearty voice sounded outside the door.Huarong let go of her, and pondered for a while: "Huang Xin? What is he here for?" Shuran had already come in: "Brother, Supervisor Huang is waiting outside, do you want to go?" Mengyun became nervous: "He Come at this time, I'm afraid you have no good intentions, you still..." Hua Rong's eyes deepened a little, and said: "Go, definitely go. You can't be so vague. Brother, don't follow me, stay and protect me Here." He frowned, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only say: "Little brother must protect you. But, brother, be careful." Hua Rong nodded, and then went out.He watched him go away, and said, "Sister Mengyun, why don't you persuade him, I'm afraid he will listen." Mengyun smiled bitterly: "It's better for the jade to be broken than for the tile. If you can keep him for a while, Can you stay forever? Shu Ran, don't tell Yue Li, just tell her that her brother has something to do in the state capital and will be back in three or four days." Shu Ran sighed and went to take care of herself.

The eaves are dripping with residual snow, and the ding-dong becomes a rhyme.The room was safe and quiet, but Mengyun seemed extraordinarily lonely.

Thousands of flowers bloom, thousands of times of reincarnation, have she met him before?That wisp of candlelight swayed in the dark and half pointed to loneliness. Looking back and smiling, the beauty buried with flowers is like the impenetrable world of mortals. Is it love or hate left to the world?When he came, he came like cherry blossoms in silence and spring; when he smiled, he was like a bright moon shining thousands of miles away; when he sighed, he was like a breeze blowing through the autumn water;Could it be that he is really the man in the dream of "A Song of Red Mansions"?

Thinking back to the beginning, when she heard the song "Dream Man" sung by Di Ge, she burst into tears.Perhaps, there is a kind of destiny in the dark, two men who are so similar are like two parallel worlds that never intersect, but they are like two twin flowers living together.And she is at a loss in two time and space, which one is the cherry blossoms flying in the sky, and which one is the dream of fireworks in the starry night?She couldn't tell where she was, everything seemed very real, but mixed with an inexplicable emptiness.Every time she wakes up, she thinks that she will return to the original place, but every time, she sees this world that has been separated from her for thousands of years.She doesn't understand, is she dreaming, or is the world sleeping?

Hearing the sound of tears, I went into the forest to find the white pear blossoms, only a row of moss.The sky is beyond the mountains, the rain falls on the flower terrace, and my temples are gray.

I am waiting for you.
