After dressing as a widow

The people in the town all walked out of their homes, running around in the heavy rain to tell each other their joy, not caring about their clothes and hair getting wet from the rain.

Gu Lin's face was also wet from the rain. He wiped his face. It's a pity that he didn't go back to Liyu Village. Uncle Lin must be very happy now, and he might even hum his weird little tunes.

Zhang Tie and the others are already holding hands and jumping up like gods, singing a local song in Anyuan Town whose name is not known in a rough voice.

Gradually, the people in those towns also sang this song, and some people took pots, bowls, and everything that could be knocked to beat the harmonious tune.

The rain was extremely heavy, as if someone was pouring it with a bucket. It took several hours for it to turn into light rain, and then the light rain continued.

When Gu Lin woke up the next morning, he felt bone-chillingly cold. At the end of autumn and near winter, the temperature dropped a lot after just one night.

He put on his clothes, packed his knife, bow and arrow, and told Zhang Tie that he was going to go to inspect Lu.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked out of the room, and inspector Lu, whom he hadn't seen all day yesterday, came in from the yard wearing a bamboo hat, and walked over while taking off the bamboo hat: "I heard the people below said you were looking for me."

Gu Lin nodded, and he led inspector Lu to the room next to the sleeping room, where there was a table: "I told you before, now is the time."

"I thought it was the same thing, but you don't have to rush away. The county magistrate held a banquet at the county government office tonight, and called me, Zuo Inspector, and the leader of the general banner and the small banner down below. You It must be indispensable."

"Also, I have prepared a big gift for you, and I will give it to you at night." Lu Xunqian's two thick black eyebrows twitched, as if two caterpillars were twisting there.

Gu Lin thought about it and agreed.

It was night, the lights of the county government office were brightly lit, after taking a bath and shaving, the general banner leaders in clean clothes went to the county government office in twos and threes.

The county magistrate didn't treat the soldiers under him badly either, he prepared things and sent them over next to each other, and no one was left behind.

Gu Lin went with Nie Yong. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county government office, they heard the melodious sound of piano and singing, as well as the smell of wine and meat that they had hardly smelled since the drought.

In Anyuan Town today, only the county government can produce these things.

Nie Yong likes to drink a little on weekdays. As soon as he smells the wine, he can't wait to ask Gu Lin to go inside: "This wine tastes pure, high-quality rice wine, and it's not adulterated at all!"

"Hurry up, let's find a good position and pay him enough money!"

Gu Lin has never drank alcohol. Uncle Lin told him that he was just growing up, and if he drank alcohol, he would be a dwarf.

So someone in the academy made an appointment to have a drink, but he had never been there.

The two walked quickly into the lobby of the backyard, and saw more than a dozen tables set up in the originally spacious lobby. There were two plates of meat dishes on the table, several plates of side dishes with wine, wine jugs and wine glasses filled with wine.

In the middle is a pretty girl in a water red dress, playing the piano, with a pair of clear almond eyes, willow brows and cherry lips, who can survive the drought so well, as if the drought has never happened to her.

The county magistrate sat at the top, followed by Lu inspectors, left inspectors, and then the general flag and team leader.

Inspector Lu had already told Gu Lin this morning that Inspector Wang was folded in the mountains, and the body was searched later, and his family had taken it back for burial.

There are also two or three fewer general flags below, and the number of team leaders is much smaller, and there are only a dozen of the original more than 30.

Gu Lin and Nie Yong sat down on the left and back. As soon as they sat down, Nie Yong couldn't wait to pour himself a full glass of wine, and drank it all with a gurgle: "Ah, good wine, good wine, my wine It's been a long time since the worms have been comforted and appeased, and today they have to drink enough."

Suddenly, he brought the jug to Gu Lin's eyes: "Try it?"

"No taste," Gu Lin looked at the servant who was serving at the table, but Nie Yong deprived him of the opportunity to serve wine: "Pour me a glass of water."

Serving their table was a little maid from the county magistrate's mansion. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The little girl didn't expect that there was such a gentle and handsome boy as Gu Lin among the bunch of rough soldiers, her face was a little red: "Yes, I will go and get it for you."

Nie Yong chuckled: "You actually drink water?"

Gu Lin sat upright on the chair: "Drinking doesn't make you grow taller."

"?" Nie Yong's head was full of question marks, "Who told you that you won't grow taller after drinking?"

"I'm Uncle Lin."

Okay, okay, don't ask any more questions.

Nie Yong Gudu drank another glass, he knew that this moral and etiquette little lunatic listened to his Uncle Lin's words like a golden rule, not to mention that drinking would not make him grow taller, just...

Suddenly, Nie Yong wanted to say something again, and he moved to Gu Lin's side and said, "From now on, I can listen to everything from your Uncle Lin, but I can't listen to one sentence."

Gu Lin turned to look at him.

Nie Yong cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "When I say no, I want it. If I say yes, I want it." Then he added when he said this.

Gu Lin's ears were red, and he pulled the stool away from him, just in time for the maid to bring up the water, he picked up the cup and raised his neck and almost drank it all in one gulp.

Nie Yong smirked beside him, hey, only now Gu Lin looks like a young man, and he is still a young man who keeps his head down reading every day, only knowing that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.

Soon, the banquet officially began. The county magistrate took the lead in raising the wine glass, respecting those who died in the battle with the refugee army and the people present, then said a few words, and waved his sleeves to let everyone have a good time.

The girl playing the piano in the middle stepped back at some point, changed into a gorgeous water blue dress, and led a group of beautiful women flirting their enchanting waists. Her hibiscus-like face captivated the hearts of all present.

Many people's eyes have already been taken away by them, and the wine in their mouths is not fragrant.

Except for Xilihulu who was eating appetizers and pouring wine into his mouth like water, and Gu Lin who only drank water.

Suddenly, inspector Lu, who was under the command of the county magistrate, walked over to the table of Gu Lin and Nie Yong, and sat down on the stool, "How about it, the wine is delicious, and the meat is delicious."

Gu Lin's face was light: "Yes."

Nie Yong was gnawing on a piece of meaty bone, and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, they are all delicious, you can try them too during the inspection."

"We have a lot of tables. I specially gave Gu Lin a gift. Here, I found this after searching a few places. You have to hold it carefully."

"What gift?" Nie Yong looked at the stack of neatly wrapped things and moved his head towards it.

Inspector Lu pushed his head over: "You old man, it's useless to take it, it's specially made for Gu Lin, why don't you join in the fun."

Gu Lin took over the neatly wrapped package, which was still a bit heavy and boxy.

He touched the book for so many years, and when he picked it up, he knew it was a book, and thanked Lu inspector: "Thank you inspector."

The town is so messy these days that it's not easy to find good books.

Inspector Lu waved his hand and patted his forearm: "Thank you, thank you, it's all agreed before, I'll go first."

"Oh, that's right," inspector Lu who walked a few steps suddenly turned around and raised his eyebrows, "Remember to watch carefully, this is what we men can eat."

"Yes."

It was late when the banquet was over, and Nie Yong, who asked him to drink all the wine at the table, was not drunk at all, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Gu Lin to the outside of the county government office.

When he returned to the courtyard, Nie Yong suddenly grabbed Gu Lin: "You haven't told Zhang Tie about your leaving tomorrow, have you? They value you now, and if they knew you were leaving tomorrow, they would definitely grab you You make a fuss."

The relationship between people comes from all over the place. Although Gu Lin has a cold temper, how many times have he saved them these days, Zhang Tie and the others have long regarded Gu Lin as a brother, as the tenth Xiaoqi part.

But Gu Lin doesn't belong here.

Gu Lin stood at the gate of the yard: "I didn't intend to tell them."

"You're going to leave like this?"

"Yeah." Gu Lin knows his temperament. There is a clear line between him before the age of eight and the him after the age of eight. Gu Shuanzi before the age of eight can play with many people, and he takes a gang with him wherever he goes. People, after the age of eight, Gu Shuanzi and Gu Lin don't like anyone's approach.

Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen are his friends, and Zhang Tienieyong is also his friend.

But he prefers to be alone, he likes to have only Lin Zhen by his side.

He is not used to other people's tears and nostalgia, he just wants to let himself be in Lin Zhen's eyes alone.

Nie Yong was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled: "It really is something you can do."

"Well, I'll tell them tomorrow, but I don't know if they'll chase you into the village and beat you up."

Gu Lin nodded, and he said to Nie Yong, "I'll go in and I'll be right back."

As he spoke, he took the gift from inspector Lu and walked to the courtyard where he lived with Zhang Tie and the others. He first put the book in his hand on the bed, and then took the huge broad knife seized from the tall bandit leader. Get up and go back to Nie Yong.

"This knife is for you." Gu Lin handed the huge broad knife to Nie Yong. This broad knife is almost as long as an arm and a half. The blade is wider than the palm of an adult man. It is made of solid materials and well forged. In Gu Lin's hands, he accompanied him from the road to Fucheng to the present.

Not only seven or eight hundred people died under this broad knife, but five or six hundred.Just looking at it like this, there is a chill coming out.

Nie Yong looked at the knife without reaching out: "This is your weapon, take it with you for self-defense."

Gu Lin said: "I'm learning swords, and this sword is too heavy to be handy."

Nie Yong supported his forehead, and you killed so many refugee soldiers with your unsuitable weapon?

He took the knife over, and the heavy weight of the knife made his wrist fall down. Good guy, it seems that it can only be kept at home in the future, and it may not be used.

Seeing him take the knife, Gu Lin took a step back, clasped his fists in salute, went back to the yard, picked up the bow and arrow brought from Fucheng, and the books given by Lu Xunjian, and left in the dark.

Nie Yong just watched his figure until he merged with the night.

I wish you all the best.

Nie Yong said silently in his heart.

Finally, this knife was placed in Nie's house, and it became the knife used by Gu Shilang, the servant of the household department, the knife used by Gu Shoufu, and the knife used by Ding Junhou.

However, Nie Yong never told anyone.
