I forget the river

Chapter 35: White Tiger Escort

In the end, it was Shuang'er who dragged me back with an umbrella. At that time, my whole body was wet from the light rain, and my hair was sticky and stuck to my back. I looked like a dead ghost.I know I'm contradicting this description...but it's true.

"If you keep doing this, I won't care about you!" Shuang'er angrily washed my hair: "Aren't you just a man? Why are you so spineless! Why bother to humiliate yourself like this! How sad, if he hadn't asked me to look for you before he left, I would have thought you were really eager to see them get married!"

I lay on the bed wearing the clean clothes Shuanger had prepared for me, with my head hanging over the edge of the bed, and my eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Hi!" She frowned and pulled my hair, I just glanced at her, actually I thought something was wrong with her for a long time.As for what's wrong... I reached out to wipe her forehead expressionlessly, and said, "The mask is about to fall off."

"..." Her hand paused for a moment, and then she said calmly, "What are you talking about?"

I rolled my eyes and put my hand behind her ear, but she avoided it deftly.

I chuckled, and said, "Luzhu, I think you've worked really hard."

She also smiled when she heard the words, but she didn't take off the mask. She asked, "When did you find out?"

"When you just changed your clothes."

"But I drew the curtain."

"I pulled back the curtain."

As soon as I finished speaking, she slapped me across the face with a "slap".

She looked at me coldly and said, "Rogue."

I shook my head indifferently, and said: "Actually, I just want to see what a woman looks like. How could Rong Xun think of being with a woman? But you only changed your shirt, and I only saw your back. By the way I accidentally saw your tattoo." I thought for a while and said, "Magnolia's tattoo is only done by Li Adian's guardian, but it seems that I don't have one."

"Your skin was washed off by Huo Bai, but he gave you another skin."

I glared at her and said, "Hooligan, you know all about this?"

She also said with a blank face: "I was ordered to protect you. I was by the side when he changed your skin, so I saw everything. Although I don't want to see it, after all, you don't have much to see."

I couldn't deny it, and she continued: "But it's good for you to be stimulated, at least your brain is smarter now than before. This is a bit like Zhuang Yu in the past."

I sighed, and said, "Perhaps, I also feel strange to myself like this. But I don't want to be Zhuang Yu anymore, because the name Zhuang Yu is tied to Rong Xun."

I suddenly felt something was wrong, frowned, and asked her: "Do all the disciples of Li Adian have tattoos? I remember when I disguised myself and went to Li Adian, no one gave me any tattoos."

"That's right, only His Highness and the Guardian have them. His Highness's is blue, and ours is white. What's wrong? Why do you ask this?"

I thought of the first time I met Yu Baijia, he told me the sign of the disciples of Li A Temple.But their tattoos are tattooed on the back of their necks, while the ones with green beads are tattooed on their shoulder blades.I didn't think much about it, so I shook my head and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that there was someone who pretended to be a disciple of Li Adian before, but he was killed by someone else."

Lu Zhu sighed helplessly, and said: "I guess they must have done nothing good in the name of Li Adian." It seemed that she was used to it.

I teased her and said, "Yes, but you are a good person. A good person will do what he can to the end. Please help me wash my hair."

She glanced at me, ignored me, and walked out.I didn't ask her where she was going. On the contrary, I thought it was reasonable for her to turn her head and leave like this. If she still treated me like "Shuang'er", I would feel my hairs stand on end just thinking about that scene.

But she is quite gentle like that, and she still looks like a woman, but I don't know if that kid Bai Liyue is lucky enough to accept this beauty.Thinking of this, I shook my head secretly, I haven't sorted out my own affairs, and I still think about other people's marriage?

Immediately, a maid came in, and she helped me wash my hair quietly, with gentle and comfortable movements.In the end, she helped me wring my hair before leaving. Before she left, I quietly told her: "I won't see anyone within three months, please tell your owner that I am fine, and I am very grateful for his efforts, but I just want to be quiet for a while. Oh yes, just leave my daily meal at the door, knock on the door to signal me and I will pick it up, and send me two books by the way.” I thought for a while, and said: "It's too esoteric for me to understand. It's basically like this. Please trouble me."

She complied softly, and closed the door softly.

In the next three months, my wish was indeed fulfilled. Meals, medicines, and hot water were regularly delivered every day, and a few interesting books were delivered regularly. I guess Wenxuan picked it for me.I think he still cares about me, because once when I opened the door to get something, I saw him looking at me behind the rockery, but I couldn't dodge it in time, so I had to smile at me.I smiled at him too, then picked up my things and closed the door.

In the past three months, I have been busy reading and learning to write, and I haven't heard anything about him, so I don't have much time to think about him anymore.It's just that there will still be times when I can't fall asleep, and I finally fall asleep and dream about him, and I wake up feeling extremely melancholy.I didn't dare to take a shower with my eyes open, for fear that I would lose control when I saw the injury on my chest, but it didn't help.After all, it was not easy to recover from the injury before, and it hurts when it was cold and cold.

After settling for about a hundred days, I finally opened the window to let the air out of my musty room.

It's winter now, and it's covered in silver.The plum blossoms in the backyard are in full bloom, and there is a hint of refreshing smell from the cool winter wind.And during this period of time, apart from a slight improvement in writing, I have a little understanding of reading, which is nothing.Occasionally, I would pick up a pair of words I just wrote and nod, boasting that this one is much better than the last one.If you practice well, maybe you will be a great calligrapher in the future?And I made a fool of myself, I didn't expect that my words would overwhelm a group of people, even though I was forced.

If there is anything else, it is that every time I think of him inadvertently, my heart hurts.But I believe that time is the best medicine, and it will always cure me.

I tidied myself up well, then opened the door and went out.Wen Xuan stood outside the door, he asked with concern: "Is it better?"

I nodded and said, "It's much better, thank you."

"It feels like you've changed a lot."

"Is not it good?"

He smiled and said: "As long as you are happy, everything is fine."

"Always relying on you is not an option..." I looked at his stiff face, scratched my head and said, "Uh, I mean, I want to find something to do, otherwise it would be too boring."

His face softened a little, and he asked half-jokingly: "How about learning to read and write with me?"

I waved my hands in fright, and said, "This...isn't that good...Actually, I don't have any talent, but it's okay to add a block..."

He laughed out loud when he heard this, and I was so embarrassed that I cleared my throat and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

I thought my martial arts were pretty good, so I said, "Be a bodyguard."

He frowned, and just wanted to refuse, but I just looked at him so straightly, he swallowed the words he wanted to refuse, and then changed his words: "With me here, I can still protect you. But this job It's unusual, it's life licking blood from the knife edge, you have to be more careful." Then he said: "The name Zhuang Yu can no longer be used, you can change it yourself."

I casually said, "Su Liu."

"Su Liu??" He was stunned for a moment, then blinked when he saw me nodding, and said, "What a good name."

"Where is it?"

"Although the words are concise and to the point, they may as well be full of literary talent. Su from Su Hai and Han Chao, Liu who is spotless in six, this name is really artistic."

"Ahem..." I looked at him fixedly, then patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Wenxuan, I didn't expect you to have such a sweet mouth. In fact, I know you are coaxing me, but you are too outrageous." ...Actually, I just want to say that I am the sixth son of the Su family, that's all. But what you said is so wonderful, it's a pity that I don't need it. Okay! Let's call it Su Liu!"

So I wore a mask, rode a horse, and went to Luoyang's No. [-] Escort——Baihu Escort—in the name of Su Liu, and with a letter of introduction written by Wen Xuan.

"Sixth Master Su, can you take off your mask and take a look at it?" the Chief Escort asked me.He is a robust middle-aged man, less than 40 years old, with a full beard, bushy eyebrows and big eyes.The whole person looks very kind, very energetic, and speaks with confidence.

I shook my head and said, "I lost my appearance due to a fire at home last year, so I can only show people with a mask."

"Mr. Wenxuan praised you for your high martial arts skills in the letter, so I hope that I will entrust you with important tasks, but I am not not giving face to Mr. Wenxuan, but the bodyguards of the White Tiger Escort Bureau are really not easy to suppress, so I can only look at you, sir. It is only because of your ability that I want to give you some pressure." At the end he asked me: "Young Master, you don't think I'm being rude, do you?"

What he meant was to compete with me to see how much I weigh.So I readily agreed: "Please go ahead."

"Okay, Mr. Su is really a straightforward person! Please!"

He made a gesture of invitation, and I was polite to him, and he went out first.After he left, I glanced back at the letter, and couldn't help but froze. What Wenxuan was talking about... Generally speaking, I have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, but I was seriously injured, but I have too much self-esteem, and I am afraid that I will be useless. Land, so I asked him to assign me to a sub-bureau and give me some lighter tasks...

I sighed, and strode out the door.Wen Xuan, even if you are afraid of my death, you don't have to be so careful, right?Moreover, Chief Escort, you are too good at talking. If I hadn't just glanced at the real content of the letter, I would have been fooled by you into thinking that Wenxuan really praised me so much!

Eighteen kinds of weapons are arranged in two rows on the shelf.He took the sledgehammer handed to him by the person next to him, and said to me: "Young Master Su, choose a weapon that is convenient for you."

Of course I choose the long sword.

In this competition, I deliberately changed the Jiuyu swordsmanship so that he could not see the way.

He is worthy of being the head of the bodyguard, if he says nothing else, even the supernatural power that day is enough for me to parry for a while.In addition, I didn't fully use the martial arts that I was good at, and I had to hide the number of martial arts while fighting with him, so it was hard to go all the way.

"Okay, let's stop here." He handed the double hammers to his subordinates, and then said to me appreciatively: "Young master is indeed a talent, and his martial arts are light and accurate. I just don't know which teacher came from?"

"The world is so big, everyone is my teacher."

"Okay, okay!" He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and then said: "Young Master Su, why don't you go to the branch of the White Tiger Escort in Furong City to be a deputy head of the bodyguard."

I went there happily, and it was much faster to ride the horse.When I got there, they even held a reception banquet specially for me, and everyone was very happy together.

There are a total of thirty people in the Escort.

The Chief Escort's surname is Li, he is a fair-looking, down-to-earth middle-aged man, we all call him Boss Li in private.Boss Li has a wife and a pair of ten-year-old twins. They are lively and clever, and everyone loves them.When I first came, these two brats pestered me every day and wanted to take off my mask several times, but after I promised to teach them Qinggong, they became much more obedient.

Among the thirty guys, two of my age are the best friends with me, and what's more, they have only been here not long ago, and we have a lot to talk about, so I always take them with me every time I do missions .One of them is Wenguan and the other is Chuhe.Wenguan is calm, but Chuhe is very lively. With him, he is not very tired in every task.

During the three months in Furong City, the big and small escorts also suppressed a lot, and took the opportunity to travel to many places.The southernmost one can reach Sanshan, and the northernmost one can reach Houcheng.

We only went to Houcheng when the Chinese New Year was approaching.It gets colder as we go north, and there are mostly ethnic minorities. We have to find a house to shelter from the cold, wear their winter clothes to warm up by the fire, and listen to the wind blowing snow outside and knocking on the window at night.

It was so cold though that it made more than half of us sick.But the magnificent and boundless, silver-white scenery all over the mountains and plains is unforgettable for life.

We will probably only see this snow scene in the Northland once. After all, there are very few people here, and it would be nice to catch up with winter once in so many years.Wen Guan took out a pen and paper to draw it, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his posture was like that of a master.But after Chuhe went over to take a look, he laughed so hard that he almost fell under the chair.

I felt puzzled, so I went over to have a look, and found that it was just a blank piece of paper with a few ink dots on it.

"Wenguan, are you...?" I asked him tentatively.

He said calmly, "The painting is finished."

"This is... a snow scene??" I asked him.He nodded.I pointed to the black dot again and asked, "Then what is this?"

"Frozen crow."

"..." I thought for a while and said, "The crow will be buried in the snow."

"Oh, then this is the house."

"..." I was speechless, only Chu He leaned forward and back with a smile, and Wen Guan gave him an idiot look, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "Ordinary man."

"Hahahahaha...!!!"

……

But now it’s time for the warming to change the cold, and we received a new escort, which was sent to the Ruyi Inn in Luoyang.I was a little repulsed when I heard Ruyi Inn, but there is really no one else in the escort agency, so I can only take it.

The one who should come still can't hide.So I sighed, and then called five people including Wenguan Chuhe, and we packed up and headed to Luoyang.

The author has something to say: Furong City is the ancient name of Sichuan, Sanshan is the ancient name of Fuzhou, and Houcheng is the ancient name of Shenyang.The name Houcheng dates back to 2700 years ago, but Fengtian was only called in the Qing Dynasty.After weighing it up, let’s call it Houcheng.

Then it's...seeking comments and collections, okay!
