Small town

The sky was snowing, the thick clouds were gloomy and heavy in the sky, the white salt and snow particles hit people's faces with pain, the howling wind blew all night, the weather suddenly became strangely cold, and the people on the road were freezing and rubbing their hands, and their noses were red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's almost the New Year, Pei Ziyun is sitting in the inn, looking at the snow falling outside the window, the mountains and rivers in the distance are towering, the snow is white, and he heard some faint crying.

"Boss, what's wrong?" the boss was pasting a couplet, and it was almost past this time, there were few guests, and the boss announced that the people who came to eat and stay today were all twenty percent off.

At this time, I heard Pei Ziyun ask, and sighed: "It's a mother and daughter, the man died of illness halfway, and he died and had no money to go back, crying." ”

"Mother and daughter are ready to sell themselves and buy a coffin to bury a man, and the crying disturbs you!"

Pei Ziyun heard no words, went out, a cold wind immediately wrapped in snow hit up, Pei Ziyun looked, the river not far away was frozen, and the snow on the ice swirled like smoke.

Pei Ziyun saw two people squatting under the eaves, but he didn't step forward, and said for a long time: "Boss, boss!"

The boss rushed up: "Childe, your dish is almost ready, what are your orders?"

"I remember that three taels of ordinary coffins is enough, and you can live in your store with a few taels, give you this." Saying that, Pei Ziyun took out two ingots of silver from his arms and threw them away.

The boss took a look, two five taels, just one look, the boss saw that the tie was fine, the side was frosty white, the bottom was white and deep, a little bite, the inside was slightly white, this ninety or eighty percent of the top-grade official silver, and said at the moment: "Childe, what are you?"

"Send it to the mother and daughter, return your stay, buy a coffin, and wrap the rest around the plate to go back." ”

As soon as he said this, the boss's smile froze, and then he became much more sincere: "Childe is really kind, but I don't want this hotel fee, this store has been in my hands for five generations, and a customer has died in the store, I have never charged the store fee, Childe rest assured, I will send this silver." ”

Pei Ziyun sat and nodded, and then a guy came over with wine and food, and said, "Childe, your wine and food are here." ”

Pei Ziyun nodded, and the guy went downstairs with the plate.

Pei Ziyun ate and stared at the snowflakes in the distance, since he killed the widows and burned the Dao talisman many days ago, there were no thieves along the way.

Get back?

If something like this happens, you won't be able to complete the task of asking for closure when you go back, and then someone will be replaced in the door to do this, who is the big credit?

This lost points, and when the time comes, it will be a lost opportunity to be selected as the head disciple, and this matter cannot be retreated, but must move forward.

Thinking of this, there are still some depressions that can't be dissipated, and his face looks a little depressed, so he pours a sip of wine and drinks it, only to feel that a mouthful of heat is swallowed from his throat, and he eats a few bites, and his eyebrows are soothed.

"This son, I see that your heart is depressed, it seems that things are not going well, can you enjoy a glass of wine to drink, and the poor road can also relieve the knot for the son. A voice came, Pei Ziyun looked up, it was a Taoist leading a Taoist boy, standing in front of the table in front of Pei Ziyun and said.

"This man is strange, see what he has to say and then make a decision. When he thought about it, he said, "Taoist, please sit down, just drink." ”

This person sat down in front of Pei Ziyun, raised a grain of peanuts, the burnt aroma was crispy, and he drank a cup directly, which was very refreshing.

Pei Ziyun smiled, poured himself a drink, and saw the little Taoist boy beside the Taoist man, this little Taoist boy combed his hairpin, looking delicate, his face was red from the cold, his face was expressionless, and a sense of familiarity was coming, which made Pei Ziyun frown.

"Who is this girl, she is a little familiar, and looking at her expression, she seems to be kind to me!" Pei Ziyun was shocked in his heart, hesitated for a while, Pei Ziyun laughed: "Dao Chief, you are afraid that you are here to cheat on wine and food to eat and drink, but this is nothing, I am in a bad mood, Dao Chief, you want to drink, please do it, this wind and snow, the two of us just drink together and say something." ”

"Man, put on the dishes and chopsticks, add a few more dishes, and prepare them for these two places. Pei Ziyun turned his head and shouted at the guy.

"Okay, the guest officer waits, I'll be here soon!" The guy responded, and came up with the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses a little later, and the little Taoist boy also sat up, taking the dishes and chopsticks and eating the dishes, as if he was a little hungry.

The man took the flask, poured himself a cup of hot wine, raised his head and drank it, and said, "The wine is good, you just gave the mother and daughter some silver?" ”

"The New Year is approaching, and those who still live in the inn are all fallen people, I have it in my hands, why be stingy with a little good money?" Pei Ziyun drank a few glasses of wine, and saw that the Taoist was thoughtful, so he smiled: "This is just a little kinship in people's hearts, and there is no good heart, or in other words, there are many people who are close to good, and people who are poor and have many evils, and people are all good and evil, how can it be black and white." ”

"People are abundant and close to good, people are poor and evil, people are good and evil, how can it be black and white. The Taoist nodded and sighed: "What you said is incisive." ”

"There is a lot of chaos in this world, people are competing for cannibalism, and I can't talk about good roots, and my Taoist people are also deeply affected. ”

"Now the world has been stable for seven years, and good seeds are born from peace, son, you say that the world is peaceful, how long can it last?"

Pei Ziyun "goo" took a sip of a drink, ate some vegetables, looked at the falling snow, and smiled: "Taoist, you are curious about my opinion, if you want me to say, this world is a major event, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, for thousands of years, it has come and gone." ”

"Haha!" The man laughed: "Childe said that he laughed, the general trend of the world is indeed divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time, but for you and me personally, born in peace, or in troubled times, there is a difference between the end of the world." ”

"My Great Xu Dynasty has collapsed since the previous dynasty, cleaned up the country, this year is the seventh year, the court is stable, it is really a blessing for the world, a blessing for the people. ”

Pei Ziyun listened to this person's words and laughed: "This world is far from being stable." ”

After a pause, he said: "A person can be stable in three years, so the ancients said that they would not change their father's way for three years." ”

"For the king, it takes thirty years to be stable, and the Great Xu Dynasty is only seven years, and there must be at least twenty years of peace, so that the world can be truly stable. ”

This person listened and smiled: "Childe has indeed seen it thoroughly, and now the saint's body is a little unstable, and he is eager to sweep away the dragons and snakes in the world and pave the way for the prince, which has a disaster ambush, and there are variables in the number of qi in the world, what does Childe think about this?"

Pei Ziyun was stunned, the "country" swallowed the wine, and smiled with wine: "The Taoist said that he laughed, I was the beginning of Xu Chuli, and I ascended the throne forty-five years now, and now it is seven years old, it is the spring and autumn period that is in full bloom, and I hope that the emperor will take care of his body, and he will be in power for 20 years without worry, and enjoy peace from the world." ”

"What Childe said is right, that's the truth, but Childe said before that the world is undecided, and now he says that he is looking forward to the emperor for 20 years, is he saying that without these 20 years of peace, there will be a deep disaster?"

"If this is the case, Gongzi and Poor Dao have the same opinion, the number of qi in the world is still changing, I look at Gongzi's great talent, see it thoroughly, and I will be able to help in the future. ”

Pei Ziyun snorted coldly: "I look at the Taoist Chief, you understand better, does the Taoist want to make the tide, or the wind?"

This person listened to Pei Ziyun's words, drank the wine and smiled without saying a word, and then got up: "The wine is almost over, look, the mother and daughter thank you for coming." ”

Saying that, the mother and daughter came over, and the mother raised her head and glanced at Pei Ziyun, and thanked her a thousand times.

"My man went to the state to catch the exam, but he still didn't win, and he returned to his hometown without a face, and my mother and I heard the news and rushed to come, but I found it in this inn. ”

"I'm already sick, I'm waiting, I can't get it back, I only see the last face. ”

"I have spent all the silver on my body, and I don't want to meet the ten taels of silver sent by my son. ”

Saying and crying, Pei Ziyun comforted her a few times, and learned that she had a son at home and several acres of land, and estimated that the silver was enough to make them go back, so she said: "No matter what, buying a coffin and sending it back can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to the roots." ”

The boss then came up and persuaded them to leave.

Pei Ziyun is a big customer, and he is generous, and the boss boiled a large bucket of hot water and sent it to the room, Pei Ziyun soaked it in the bucket, and then the boss added water from time to time.

"It's really a hassle boss. ”

"There is no such thing as being as kind as the son. ”

Pei Ziyun was a little nervous and asked, "How are the people along the way?"

"Fortunately, first of all, the public security is good, a few years ago, chaos, killing and killing, thieves all over the ground, although my store is passed down from five generations, it is also closed, and now the world is peaceful, only to live some good days. ”

"Don't look at the mother and daughter, a few years ago, those who died on the road didn't have time to bury them. The boss said, his muscles twitching, obviously remembering the tragic appearance.

"I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world. Pei Ziyun nodded and got up, and the boss withdrew, and he cleaned up later.

Pei Ziyun was lying in the quilt, and when he saw that there was an old book, he looked at it as a novel, so he looked at it casually on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.

The night was getting deeper, the wind was blowing, and suddenly a flash of light appeared under the eaves, and when he entered through the window, Pei Ziyun screamed from inside, which seemed to be wailing, and there was no sound in a blink of an eye.

There was silence inside and outside the room for a long time, and the snowflakes kept falling, and after a long time, Pei Ziyun's voice suddenly came from inside: "Dao Chief, why don't you enter?"

"Pap" There was applause from outside, showing a Taoist: "Xie Yuangong, you are so alert and can avoid the attack, how can I put myself in danger?"

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun pushed open the window: "I talk to Brother Dao about national affairs during the day, I don't want Brother Dao to come and kill me at night, I don't know who leaked my news? ”

This person had already gone away with the boy, and when he heard the sound, he turned around with a smile and said, "Xie Yuangong, you are facing us with a sword, how can I tell who made a mark on you so that we know what you are doing?"

"Dao Chief, if you don't want to say it, you won't answer it a long time ago. ”

"That's right, this is a dignified and upright plan, if you look to the side, you will find the person who buried the talisman. "The Taoist is going to go away.

"Yes, Song Zhi and I are evil, and we will cheapen outsiders, this is a blatant conspiracy, but unfortunately I really have to suffer, because how can I tolerate that the person who framed me has no retribution?"

Pei Ziyun thought wistfully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, the Dao Tong led by this person was the daughter of the head of the Jiang side who attacked and killed him, and he had seen it at the post station.

It's just that there was a familiar one at that time, could it be someone who the original owner knew?

He shouted, "Walk slowly, can you tell me the name of the little girl you received?"

"Qi Aiguo!" replied the Taoist, taking a big step and disappearing into the snowy night.
