Chapter 36: The Legend of Chu Liuxiang (8)

The two hidden dangers have been solved, and from now on, whether it is Hua Zhenzhen or Jin Lingzhi, it will be difficult to make waves.

Qiao Heng stayed in Jinan City for one night, and as soon as it was dawn on the second day, he settled the silver taels with the innkeeper.

Jinan City is really a good place to recuperate, play and play/have fun, just on the shore of Daming Lake, I don't know how many literati and chivalrous people will be sent in one day. But for a blind man, no matter how good it is, it has to be discounted. What's more, although it was the first time he came to Jinan City in this life, the number of times he "was" came was unknown. Vaguely, he even remembered that he seemed to have drowned in Daming Lake in Jinan City once.

So, he left without any nostalgia.

The coachman drove the carriage out of Jinan City. He asked, "Young farmer, where are we going next?"

Qiao Heng said with interest: "Where else can I go...... Go home. ”

After a long time in the carriage, most people will feel a little bored. In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and it was quite time-consuming to go from Jinan City to Wuzheng Villa, and when passing through a certain place, due to the melting of ice and snow in spring, the river water soared, and the main road and bridge were washed away, so that he had to change his route.

When he was still two or three days away from Wuzheng Villa, he ordered the coachman to go to the market in the local town, bought a tall horse with dark brown coat, and decided to get out of the car and ride away. The brown horse looked pretty good, with clear eyes, smooth fur, and a muscular torso, but it paled in comparison to the ink-like horse he used to pull the cart, with only four snow-white hooves.

There were good horses and people who knew horses on the road, and when they saw that this family actually let the high-quality horse-drawn carts and weed-raised horses be used for riding, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Hua Zhenzhen's riding skills are not very good, she didn't want to ride a horse, but her face is extremely thin, even through the carriage, she can't stand such a strange gaze from others, she doesn't do anything, she simply buys a horse.

Now, a son, a coachman, a maid, and three horses, freely distributed, exactly one horse per person.

The conscientious coachman humbly gave the reins of the dark cloud stepping on the snow to Qiao Heng's hands, Hua Zhenzhen had no objections, of course, she did not dare to have any objections.

The three men abandoned the carriage and rode together.

Towards the end of the evening, the three of them encountered a small town on the road, and they decided to stop here and go on the road again the next day.

Qiao Heng decided to stop at the largest inn in the area.

As soon as the three of them led their horses to the door of this inn, a welcoming junior came out and greeted them warmly: "Are the three guest officers together?

Hua Zhenzhen took a step forward: "Stay in the hotel." The second brother helped prepare three upper rooms, and our three horses also bothered your store to take care of them. ”

Her tone was soft, her face was clear, her expression was shy and timid, and her words were so polite that people softened their hearts at first sight.

Xiao Er's eyes were almost glued to her, and he said dryly, "Okay, okay." ”

Then he shouted to the account office behind the counter, "Three upper rooms!"

The head of the account office replied without raising his head: "Tianzi C, D, E!"

Xiao Er hurriedly replied to Hua Zhenzhen: "This guest officer, the third room of Tianzi C, Ding, and E is still empty, go upstairs and turn left." ”

Hua Zhenzhen smiled at him gratefully: "Thank you, little second brother, I wrote it down." ”

Qiao Heng didn't rush upstairs to rest, but first found an empty table and sat down, and Hua Zhenzhen also sat down with him.

Qiao Heng said to the coachman: "Let's sit together, you don't have to pay too much attention when you go out." ”

The taciturn man, who looked like a guard more than a coachman, hesitated for a moment, and sat down.

Xiao Er asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Qiao Heng said to the other two people present in an inquiring tone, "Let's order something lighter?"

The coachman has always been obedient to Qiao Heng, he said: "It's good to follow the young owner." ”

Hua Zhenzhen said casually: "Three bowls of clear soup noodles, add an egg each, and then a plate of sauce meat, stir-fry a cabbage, a stack of mung bean cakes, and then look at the two plates of light dishes at will." After saying the name of the dish, Hua Zhenzhen lowered her gaze, she looked at her teacup without blinking, as if a flower had bloomed on it.

I didn't see Xiao Er take a note, so as soon as he heard it, he memorized it all in his head. He secretly glanced at Hua Zhenzhen, saw that she didn't look at him again, and regretfully ran to the backyard to report the food to the cook.

Qiao Heng heard that the dish reported by Hua Zhenzhen was completely in line with his heart, and thanked her.

He couldn't see that Hua Zhenzhen's body had been stiff since he finished reporting the name of the dish just now, and after he said this, he slowly relaxed a little. But at the same time, a trace of loss that was not obvious appeared in her heart, and she couldn't tell where this sudden depression came from and where it came from.

Two or three meters to the west, there is a table of noisy dartmen who drink and eat meat, each with a strong figure. They had just finished a dart, the money was in hand, their hearts relaxed, and they were chatting with their companions.

"Have you heard, the fire phoenix - it is the young lady of the Jin family of 'Wanfu Wanshouyuan', who was directly captured by her father from Kuaiyi Hall and returned to the Jin family. ”

"The one in Jinan City?"

"That's right!"

"Play in the Hall of Pleasure, how much money does it cost to go in, and when, I also have the money to go in and play. ”

"Forget it, the gambling house is not something we can touch. If I had known that my son was carrying me into the gambling house, I would have to break his legs!"

At this time, there were not many guests in the inn, and the meal that Hua Zhen really ordered was quickly served.

The three bowls were steaming hot, and Qiao Heng covered his hands on both sides of the bowl wall, warming his bloodless cold fingers.

The dart players at that table were very loud, they were still talking, listening to their accents, they should be from Guanzhong, and if you subdivide it again, their dart game is probably the same as Wuzheng Villa near Taiyuan.

"Didn't they all say that the person who accompanied Miss Jin also had a man who looked like a sour show?

One of them lowered his voice, although Yin Liang was not much smaller, he said, "Didn't someone say that person is the young owner of Wuzheng Villa?"

Hua Zhenzhen listened to them talk about Qiao Heng, and the action of picking up vegetables was paused.

"It's all a guess! But some people heard the servant next to this man call him the owner or something, but I didn't believe it. ”

"Hahahaha There are not a thousand but eight hundred people who can be called the owner of the village on the rivers and lakes, after I wash my hands in the golden basin and don't go darts, I also want to open a martial arts village, and I can still be called the owner of the village. It is absolutely impossible to be the original young owner, don't forget that he is a blind man! You let a blind man gamble? hahahahaha!"

I don't know what those who say that he is the young owner of Wuzheng Mountain Villa think, and he will not be stupid like this if he is kicked in the head by a donkey!"

"Isn't there a good relationship between this Wanfu Wanshou Garden and Wuzheng Villa, the original young owner and the little lady of the Jin family are often inseparable, and that person probably patted his head and guessed casually. ”

"As soon as the original young owner was not by her side, she found someone else, hahahahaha, this Miss Jin didn't cuckold the original young owner before she entered the original house, but it doesn't matter if you think about it, no matter whether the hat is red or green, he can't see it. ”

The coachman put down the bowl in his hand, and he stared coldly at the table of guests.

Qiao Heng just said calmly: "Don't make trouble in the inn, it's not easy for people to do business." ”

The coachman said "yes," and he silently took note of their faces, and then picked up his bowl as if nothing had happened.

Hua Zhenzhen was so angry that her lips trembled, she wanted to tell them that Jin Lingzhi had nothing to do with Wuzheng Villa, and she also wanted to tell them that the young owner didn't like Jin Lingzhi at all, and their marriage was even more of a thing, these were all rumors! But when she saw Qiao Heng eating by herself, she felt that she was angry again, and she didn't even care about the person concerned, what else could she say?

But she was really uncomfortable in her heart, why did she think that Jin Lingzhi and Yuan Suiyun were a couple? Obviously, they were innocent before, and they had nothing to do with it.

Thinking that they mocked him like this, but he could not move, not annoyed or angry, she felt a little sorry for him inexplicably.

She looked at him and asked softly, "Aren't you angry when you hear someone say that about you?"

Qiao Heng put down the chopsticks in his hand and lowered his eyebrows, as if thinking about how to answer her question.

In Hua Zhenzhen's eyes, this should be a very good question to answer, but it is nothing more than one of the two answers of "will be angry" and "will not be angry". But it seems, he doesn't seem to think so.

"It's not like that, if people are not ruthless, I will be angry. It's just ......" Qiao Heng pondered the wording, trying to choose the most understandable statement, he continued, "It's probably hard for you to understand when I say this, although I can also get angry, but before I get angry, I tend to think about some other things, and when I finish thinking about these things, I often forget to be angry." ”

Hua Zhen really didn't understand, she was a little stunned, she asked: "'Angry' can also be forgotten?"

Qiao Heng said: "Because before that, I would always recall very seriously, whether I did something that made them misunderstand, and I couldn't help but think about whether I did something wrong, how to correct it next time to do my best, etc., etc., when I finished thinking, I almost forgot to get angry." ”

Hua Zhenzhen's left hand in his sleeve clenched involuntarily. She said, "But you obviously didn't do anything wrong!"

Qiao Heng picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and he said, "But others don't know." The most helpless and helpless thing is that no one has ever been willing to listen to his explanation, and when he thinks about it, even he himself feels that no one listens to his explanation so naturally.

She always felt that he meant something, but she couldn't think of what he was saying in a subtle way.

"Why do you have to force yourself to admit that you have never been wrong?"

Qiao Heng: "I don't want to. ”

She stared into his gloomy eyes, and a suffocating pain flashed through her heart. She finished her meal in a hurry, ran upstairs to the guest room, and closed the door.

Qiao Heng noticed that Hua Zhenzhen was a little depressed, and he wondered what happened to Hua Zhenzhen, which of his words offended her?

......

It was night, the moon was hazy, and the stars were in the sky.

One of the dart riders had drunk too much alcohol before dinner and suddenly felt the urge to urinate while sleeping, so he rubbed his eyes and got out of bed. If he opened his mouth to say something, Qiao Heng would definitely be able to hear that he was the one who spoke obscenities during the day.

These dart guests slept in a large bunk, and the room was not equipped with a commode urinal for convenience, so if you want to relieve yourself, you can only go to the thatched house in the backyard of the inn.

Covered in alcohol, he staggered to the backyard of the inn. There was only a faint lantern hanging in the backyard, and when a gust of wind blew, the flames inside jumped and prayed, flickering and dimming, and the shadows in the yard were also weird.

He finished his small unties, put on his trousers, fastened his belt, and walked out of the hut.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a flash of beauty.

As the saying goes, wine is intimidating, if it was usual, he would have been startled by this vague flashing shadow, but at this time, he was curious.

He asked, "Who?" and with that, he burped.

A beautiful shadow dressed in apricot yellow opened the back door of the inn's backyard and walked out.

As the Raider walked out the back door, she looked back at the dart man.

There was a light smile on her face, three points of shame in her eyes, seven points of innocence, that quick glance, wanting to speak, and moving. She walked like a willow branch swaying, and the hem of her skirt was like a white cloud blowing on the water, like a spring breeze blowing on the threshold.

The drunkenness was on the rise, and the dart guest forgot to dig into why the back door, which should have been locked by the innkeeper at night, was open.

He was fascinated by the Shadow, and he walked out of the back door of the inn in a trance, not surprised to find that the Shadow was waiting for him on the street not far away. The other party noticed that he was following, glanced at him again, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.

He followed her and hurried towards her.

The dart man didn't know where he had followed her, and he was drunk and unsteady in his footsteps, but he managed to catch up with her in a narrow alleyway.

He turned to her and said, "I'm chasing you so fast, why are you going so fast." ”

As soon as the words fell, another gust of wind blew.

The dart man shuddered, and the wine on his body seemed to be blown away by the gust of wind. His throat tightened, yes, how could she walk so fast. Even if he was drunk, he was also a tall man, one step on his legs, one step and a half above ordinary people, but he almost didn't catch up with a woman with a delicate figure and a fluttering step.

Before he could figure out anything, his chest ached, and he fell to the ground without knowing it.

Blood was pouring down his chest, and anyone could see that there was an extra hole in his heart.

......

On the second day, Qiao Heng and the others were having breakfast in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

Suddenly, there was a scream from outside the inn.

Good do-gooders and warm-hearted diners heard the screams and walked out of the inn to see what was going on outside.

After a while, someone came back after inquiring about the matter.

"Dead man! There is a dead man on the street behind the pawnshop of the Wang family! There is such a big hole in the chest, I can't die anymore!"

"Who's dead? Does anyone know?"

"I don't know, looking at his dress, he looks like a dart player, he should be an outsider. ”

Coincidentally, a few dart players who had just woken up heard what he said, and several of them suddenly felt bad.

"Did any of you see the third child?"

"I didn't see it. ”

"Me didn't either, maybe he was relieved?"

"I just came back from my hands, and I didn't see the third child!"

Several people glanced at each other and ran out of the inn one after another.

Qiao Heng heard their conversation clearly, he "looked" at Hua Zhenzhen, and did not speak immediately.

Hua Zhenzhen knew that he couldn't see it at all, but every time, she felt that he had seen herself, and he not only saw herself, but also saw through herself.

She heard him say, "Go and ask Xiao Er for dry food, we will use it on the way." ”

Hua Zhenzhen: "...... Good. ”

Although a person had just died on the street not far away, the three of them were not interested in making fun of the dead man, so they packed their bags and prepared to hurry as planned.

Qiao Heng led his horse, and when he walked out of town, he rolled over. As soon as he pulled the reins, the horse neighed.

Hua Zhenzhen also turned over and got on the horse, just when she just sat down, Qiao Heng said leisurely: "According to legend, Huashan has a long-lost move, called the heart picker, which is created by Hua Qiongfeng, the fourth generation of Huashan's head 'spicy hand fairy', Hua Womanxia is the head of Hua, I don't know if it will be this heart picker?"

Hua Zhenzhen's hand clenched the reins tightly, and she said: "The young owner said that it has been lost, even so, how can I use this move?"

Qiao Heng chuckled: "It was my negligence that left." ”

He brushed the sideburns from the horse's neck, and when he did not see him raise his whip, the horse ran away obediently.

......

When Qiao Heng returned to Wuzheng Villa, it was a spring rain.

In the misty drizzle, he led the horse and came to the Wuzheng Villa in a layer of mist. He said to the porter, "Tell my father that I'm back." ”

The porter saluted and opened the door for Qiao Heng, while the other porter rushed into the village and passed the word.

Hua Zhenzhen looked at this indisputable mountain villa in Biwa Zhuyong, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Qiao Heng asked someone to arrange a guest room for her, and then returned to his room.

He didn't go to see Yuan Dongyuan for the first time, but took a bath first, washed off his dusty appearance, and put on a new clothes, and then went to see Yuan Dongyuan.

When Qiao Heng saw Yuan Dongyuan, he was painting, and the painting depicted clusters of lonely and gorgeous plum blossoms.

Hearing the sound of Qiao Heng pushing the door in, Yuan Dongyuan put down his pen.

He was concerned: "My son is back, is he unwell?" The first time his son has been away from home for so long, the worry in Yuan Dongyuan's heart is really indescribable. Besides, since the other party lost his sight, his physical condition has never been very good, his body is weak and cold, and it is even getting worse, although the other party tries his best to hide it, but as a father, how can he not notice this?

Qiao Heng bowed and saluted, and then replied, "My son is fine." ”

Yuan Dongyuan sat down and motioned for him to sit down as well.

Qiao Heng sat down, and then placed his left hand on the table as usual.

Yuan Dongyuan pressed his fingers on his wrist and gave him a pulse. Half an hour later, he silently withdrew his hand, and did not say anything about the results of the pulse. Because he knows that the other party must know in his heart whether his health is good or bad. He took his pulse, mainly to give himself peace of mind.

Yuan Dongyuan asked, "I heard that you brought back a woman?"

"Her name is Hua Zhenzhen, and she is the descendant of Hua Qiongfeng, the fourth-generation head of Huashan's 'Spicy Hand Fairy'. Qiao Heng lied calmly.

After listening to his explanation, Yuan Dongyuan really didn't ask again.

Qiao Heng picked out some interesting things he encountered on the road and said to listen to Yuan Dongyuan, no matter what he said, Yuan Dongyuan always listened patiently.

After a while, Yuan Dongyuan interrupted Qiao Heng's words with a smile, and said: "My son, you and I haven't seen each other for a while, and we do have a lot to say, but it's not bad for you to go back and rest first, I think you're tired too." ”

Qiao Heng: "It's okay, I'll go take a nap first." ”

Yuan Dongyuan watched him leave, and after he couldn't hear his footsteps, his eyes closed slightly, and he pondered for a long time. Then he pulled his unfinished picture of the first bloom of Hanmei to the ground, and he laid a piece of cut rice paper on the table again. He kept writing down a series of drug names, then crossed out one or two of them with a frown, adding new ones.

He kept sketching, and he changed a prescription beyond recognition, and at last he stopped writing, and he looked down at the prescription, and finally crumpled it up and threw it into the paper basket. He closed his eyes heavily, not opening them for a long time.

......

Qiao Heng returned to his room, he didn't feel much sleepy, on the contrary, he felt that he was full of energy.

He habitually rubbed the bat pattern pendant he wore around his waist, he supported his forehead with one hand, and traced the bat pattern on the jade pendant with his fingers over and over again. The small joy brought by solving the two hidden dangers of Hua Zhenzhen and Jin Lingzhi gradually disappeared with his action.

......

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. A few days after Qiao Heng returned to Wuzheng Villa, a piece of news caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes-

Miao monk Wuhua was expelled from the school.

To this day, people know that this wonderful monk Wuhua actually has the blood of Dongying, and he is the son of the demon stone Guanyin, and his hands are stained with countless souls, and it is rumored that the old gang leader of the beggar gang is even more victimized by him. And the one who exposed this series of things was Miao Seng Wuhua's former best friend, the thief Chu Liuxiang.

Of course, what they didn't know was that Miao Monk Wuhua once had such a pamphlet, and the contents recorded on it were enough to make him even more embarrassed, but if the contents of it were published, countless girls would suffer at the same time as him, and the secrets of the boudoir recorded on it were enough to make countless women commit suicide. People always forget that the monk is also a man.

Once this book spreads, I don't know how many bloody cases will be made, so Chu Liuxiang destroyed it.

The matter of Miao Monk Wuhua naturally spread to Wuzheng Villa, Hua Zhenzhen had already heard the true identity of Miao Monk Wuhua from Qiao Heng's mouth, but what he did was completely beyond her expectations. Then she couldn't help but remember, his sentence "You see me, you also see that wonderful monk", Miao monk Wuhua is such a character, so what is he? And what did he do that can be comparable to this wonderful monk?

Hua Zhenzhen's mind was in turmoil.

Yuan Dongyuan has followed the rules all his life, and after the news of the wonderful monk without flowers came, he regretted: "This is a genius, who would have thought that his nature would be like this, it's a pity." ”

He picked up the letter Mrs. Kim had sent him and read on. Then he said to Qiao Heng: "I already know about the matter in Kuaiyitang." ”

"You've handled it well, but don't go to a gambling house or anything like that if you don't have to, it's not a serious place. He admonished with some unease.

There are always some people in the world who are not right-minded, he is afraid that someone will deceive the clouds and be blind, and at that time, he will not be by his side, and no one will take care of him, if the other party is overwhelmed, he can only be bullied.

Qiao Heng said: "The son remembers his father's teachings. ”

Yuan Dongyuan glanced at Qiao Heng, first coughed lightly, and then asked with a little caution in his tone: "My son is not young this year, can I have someone in mind?"

Qiao Heng was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "No." ”

Yuan Dongyuan held the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and thought about how to speak. He asked, "...... What do I think of that golden lingzhi?"

Qiao Heng said: "I treat her like my own sister." ”

Yuan Dongyuan really didn't know how to speak, he looked at Qiao Heng, and simply let him experience it on his own: "My son is smart and will definitely be able to understand what his father has to say." I wonder what I think?"

Qiao Heng heard what he meant. Yuan Dongyuan saw that his boss was not small, and hoped that he could become his own son as soon as possible. He said helplessly: "My son has no intention of getting married. ”

Yuan Dongyuan heard what he said, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He was a little suspicious, if he had disciplined this son too strictly since he was a child, and let him grow up so big, he didn't know what it was like to be young Mu Ai. If this was placed in someone else's house, his son would be able to run away with soy sauce, but his son is good, he doesn't even have a person he wants.

Or is he thin-skinned and embarrassed to say it?

Yuan Dongyuan had no choice but to say tentatively: "I think that Hua is really good." ”

Qiao Heng said honestly: "I don't have any love for her. ”

Yuan Dongyuan was also helpless, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Is my son going to make up his mind to die as a father?"

Qiao Heng picked up the tea party and refilled a cup of tea for the original East Garden.

He said: "It's not that the father doesn't know his son's current condition, so why bother to harm another girl." ”

Yuan Dongyuan held the tea cup and did not speak.

A trace of pain flashed in his expression, he stared at Qiao Heng's face tightly, and he said word by word: "If one day, you walk in front of me, you must at least leave me a hope." ”

Qiao Heng smiled: "My son can't think of such a long term, he just wants to get by." ”

Yuan Dongyuan looked at him, and saw that he had no idea of changing his will, so he had to wave his hand, and he said, "You go back first, let me be alone for a while." ”

"The heavens are unfair, ......"

......

Qiao Heng didn't think there was anything bad about his current life, and he didn't want another wife and children to participate in his life. He has been working hard and struggling to maintain his bottom line. He didn't want to be an irresponsible person, but his constant failure to break contracts for various reasons made his insistence sometimes as ridiculous as a joke.

If two shaves, named "wife" and "child", suddenly intruded into his life, he would not be able to completely ignore them. But he can no longer divide any thoughts for them, people's energy is limited, if such two people really come to his world, he feels that in the end he is more likely to turn against them.

Due to the body's rejection of the soul, he had no idea how long he could stay in this life.

Ten years, fifteen years, twenty years?

Or is it a year, two years, three years?

Qiao Heng didn't know, and at the same time, he didn't feel that he needed to know.

As long as he can spend every day seriously and comfortably, he doesn't dare to ask for anything more.

After Yuan Dongyuan left, he made a big fire alone, and this old man, who had always been gentle and calm, smashed the room beyond recognition, and the maid and servant were not frightened.

Hua Zhenzhen didn't know where to know the reason why Yuan Dongyuan was angry, maybe Yuan Dongyuan sent someone to sue her.

She came to Qiao Heng's room alone, her eyes were clouding, and she asked cautiously, "What does the young owner think of me?"

Qiao Heng: "The appearance is beautiful, like a hibiscus out of the water, with superb martial arts, extraordinary intelligence, and few people in the world who can match it." ”

He still remembers the original book, how can he not know what kind of person she is?

This mouth was full of praise, but it didn't mean what Hua Zhen really wanted to hear, and of course, maybe even she didn't know what she wanted to hear from his mouth.

Yuan Dongyuan sent countless medicines to regulate the body, all of which were hard to find.

Qiao Heng accepted it all with a smile, and honestly took the medicine on time according to the prescription prescribed by Yuan Dongyuan, although he knew that it would not help at all.

Chu Liuxiang came to Wuzheng Villa to find him.

He told him that his friend Hu Tiehua and Jin Lingzhi, the fire phoenix of the Jin family, were in love.

Qiao Heng is not surprised, this is the case in the original book.

Chu Liuxiang remembered something, he asked: "I know a person, she said that she was poisoned, but the doctor couldn't find out, she fell ill from time to time, the pain was unbearable when the illness occurred, and it was difficult to control herself. To be cured, she had to take another antidote, but she had not yet found it. I wonder if the young owner knows about this poison?"

He is not talking about anyone else, it is Shi Guanyin's disciple Liu Wumei, Shi Guanyin often uses poppy control zhì male/pet and disciples, so Liu Wumei is indeed poisoned, but this poison is a poison/medicine that is very well understood.

Qiao Heng said: "I don't know what kind of poison is in that friend of yours, but I know that there is a thing, if you eat the poison made by it, you will fall into the same painful situation." ”

Chu Liuxiang: "What is it?"

"Poppy/poppy. ”

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.

Before leaving, he looked at Qiao Heng sincerely and said, "The young owner has reduced a lot recently. ”

Qiao Heng: "It's okay. ”

Chu Liuxiang glanced at him worriedly, and then left Wuzheng Villa with worry and concern for his friend.

(The following is a new part)******************

Qiao Heng, like the original East Garden, is light and does not come out of the village.

Hua Zhenzhen has also stayed in Wuzheng Villa, as he had speculated a long time ago, he has never restricted Hua Zhenzhen's freedom, but she has drawn the ground for herself.

Qiao Heng's room was originally planted with a clump of verdant bamboo, the original East Garden one day after looking at it, felt that the bamboo gathered shade, let the people eradicate it, and then ordered someone to plant a few large peony and an evergreen pine that symbolize wealth and glory. For this, he regretted it for a long time. He loved to listen to the sound of the breeze blowing the bamboo leaves, and after removing it, he always felt that his yard was a lot quieter.

Hua Zhenzhen often came to read to him, and he didn't refuse, after all, he was a blind man, and if there was no one to help, it would be quite troublesome to read books alone.

Yuan Dongyuan went out on a trip to Wuzheng Villa in the middle of a stormy night, he didn't alarm anyone, so he left with his sword alone. Then, on a colorful twilight, against the heavy sunset, he returned here.

He threw Qiao Heng a white jade bottle, which contained a snow-white pill with a whole body, and it smelled like a fragrance.

Qiao Heng didn't ask much, swallowed it directly, and said, "Father Lao is bothered, and my father has been running around for days, so you might as well wash up and rest first." ”

Yuan Dongyuan didn't go to rest as he said, he just drank tea and waited for something on the side.

An hour later, he said, "Stretch out your hand." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Heng stretched out his left hand.

Yuan Dongyuan's fingers were on his wrist, he held his breath, his eyes were calm, and he concentrated on taking his pulse.

Qiao Heng couldn't see his expression, and Yuan Dongyuan had always been calm, and at this time, without saying a word, it was difficult for him to guess his mood at this time.

After a while, Yuan Dongyuan withdrew his hand. The expression on his face was blank for a moment.

"How can this be ......"

"How could it be ......"

Qiao Heng: "Father?"

Yuan Dongyuan came back to his senses and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much about it, I'll leave for a while and go to take a bath." ”

He walked out of the room, and after walking more than ten meters away on the corridor, he could no longer maintain the peace on his face.

Qiao Heng didn't know that the pill he had just taken had a name that everyone knew in the rivers and lakes - Da Huandan. Dahuan Dan is produced in Shaolin Temple, a pill into the abdomen, can heal a qiē internal injury, external injury, while increasing several years of internal strength, there are rumors, it has the effect of resurrecting the dead.

However, it was such a miracle pill, and after he swallowed it, his physical condition did not improve.

After Yuan Dongyuan walked away, Qiao Heng suddenly lowered his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.

......

In Qiao Heng's eyes, his life is still very leisurely and happy.

Occasionally, he wrote the same letter with the dry plum master who was far away in Huashan, and when he was interested, he played the piano in the village.

When Chu Liuxiang came, he said frankly that he was the only one who had heard such a wonderful sound, one of which was from the hand of the young owner, and the other was from the hand of the wonderful monk Wuhua.

Hua Zhenzhen's face changed when he heard this, and he wondered if Chu Liuxiang was testing something. And the person who should have been the most nervous in her eyes just smiled, as if he had accepted Chu Liuxiang's praise.

Of course, more often than not, he is practicing martial arts.

The thirteen styles of Huashan breeze in one hand were made by the original Suiyun. The sword wind swept across the flowers, scattering red everywhere. When people are unwell, it is often difficult to keep their mood calm, this sword style that should be delicate and traceless, was used by Qiao Heng, and it brought out a bit of evil qi for no reason, and the breath that should be indifferent and peaceful was also mixed with a bit of yin.

Yuan Dongyuan came to visit his son, and happened to meet him practicing swords.

Seeing his moves, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Heng noticed the arrival of Yuan Dongyuan, he no longer practiced swords, he said, "Father." ”

Yuan Dongyuan asked with a complicated expression: "...... Where did you learn the Huashan School Qingfeng Thirteen Style?"

Qiao Heng was careless.

Hua Zhenzhen, who had been watching him practice swordsmanship, hurriedly stepped forward and covered up for him: "I taught it to the young owner." ”

Yuan Dongyuan naturally did not believe it.

He asked, "My son, what are you hiding from me, tell me together." ”

The petals on the ground are blown everywhere by the wind.

Qiao Heng held the sword in one hand, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground. He had been thinking about it for a long time, did Yuan Dongyuan in the original book really know nothing about what Yuan Suiyun did?

Hua Zhen stood aside arrogantly, once they moved, she would at least save Qiao Heng.

He was not in a hurry, and said: "If one day, I am ruined like that wonderful monk without flowers, I don't know what my father will do to me?"

Yuan Dongyuan's expression was grim, and he wanted to say, if you are willing to fall one day, I will definitely clean the portal with my own hands.

However, in the end, he couldn't bear it, he knew that his son would never be untargeted, and his heart was sad. He moved his lips and said in a dry voice, "If there really is such a day, I can only do my best to cover it up for you, if I can't hide it...... The only thing I can do is to accompany you to discredit the floor, and everyone shouts and beats you. ”

When Qiao Heng heard him say this, a smile appeared on his face that was not fake, he looked so happy, even his eyes became warm. He smiled, but then suddenly coughed, this cough was not violent, but it made Yuan Dongyuan and Hua Zhenzhen panic.

Coughing and coughing, Qiao Heng spit out a mouthful of blood from the side of his head.

There was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and he "looked" at Yuan Dongyuan with his empty eyes, and said three words: "I don't believe it." ”

Yuan Dongyuan staggered back.

He didn't know whether these three words were uttered by Sui Yun because he didn't want to involve Wuzheng Villa, or if he really thought so. He hated himself for being incompetent, hated that he couldn't cure his own eyes, hated that he couldn't replace his parents with his own body, and hated the injustice of the sky.

......

After another half a year, even if it was just a servant who didn't know how to heal, it could be seen that their young master's body was gradually weakening.

The long, wide-sleeved shirt was worn on him, which accentuated his emaciation.

He hadn't practiced swords for a long time, and only occasionally practiced a few sets of health boxing, and as for other moves, they had become a burden to his body now, so he simply abandoned them.

Yuan Dongyuan tried his best to recuperate for him, but it was completely ineffective. Later, seeing that he drank medicine as often as drinking water, he was really pitiful, and thought that it was three poisons of medicine, and since it was ineffective, it was better to stop the medicine.

Late at night, there was silence in Wuzheng Villa, only the knowledge on the branches of the trees and the grasshoppers in the grass kept screaming.

Qiao Heng took off the bat pattern pendant around his waist and put it on his desk, under the jade pendant was pressed a piece of rice paper full of ink characters, and hurriedly glanced at it, there was such a word "Bat Island" on it.

Hearing that there would be a rain tonight, he took an oil-paper umbrella and walked out of Wuzheng Villa alone.

He really left this time, and he had no intention of coming back from the moment he walked out of the Invincible Villa.

Yuan Dongyuan is indeed very accurate in seeing people, as he thought, Qiao Heng is indeed a person who is "arrogant and arrogant". It is actually very difficult for such a self-conscious person to make him truly and willingly show weakness to others.

He couldn't stand the extreme point of decay of his body in the future, and he stayed weak and helpless in the Wuzheng Villa. Yes, that's nothing more than a bit of ridiculous self-esteem. But he didn't have much left to do for himself, and if he didn't even grasp this point, he didn't know what he had left.

He walked slowly on the road, although he was alone on the road, but he knew that in the place where he could not see, there was a bright moon and stars with him, and his heart was a rare peace.

Click, click, click.

It was the sound of a horse's hooves falling to the ground as it walked slowly.

A tall horse stopped on the road, and there was a person riding on horseback, and as soon as he saw Qiao Heng, he pulled him onto the horse.

He pretended not to know and asked, "My son, where are you going?" If you are a person from Wuzheng Villa, you don't want to go anywhere. Change your arrogant nature, or you will suffer a lot sooner or later. "If there is still a "future" to speak of......

Yuan Dongyuan shook the reins, and the horse ran.

Qiao Heng said a little tiredly: "Slow down, the wind is strong." ”

Yuan Dongyuan hurriedly pulled the reins, let the horses under him slow down, and walked with the stars and the moon.
