Chapter 3 Untie the knot

The sudden torrential rain caught people off guard, and there was a hectic scene on the banks of the Qingjiang River for a while. Although the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is busy, it is also full of interest.

The business travelers who are in a hurry are well prepared, and in the face of the pouring rain, they take out their hats and coats from their luggage in a hurry, put them on, and continue to hurry; the old people who go out to enjoy the spring are like business travelers, and they have already prepared, take out their rain gear and put them on, or continue to move forward, or turn around and go home; the sudden fall of heavy rain can arouse a sense of pride for the scholars who are striding and holding their heads high, and the poems recited loudly are louder, and can even cover the sound of the rain to reach the White Crane Tower; in the face of heavy rain, it seems that only those young girls who go out to go out are the only ones who suffer deeply, they lack the preparation for a rainy day, and they do not have the pride of singing in the rain, and even if they have, the thin shirts on their bodies do not allow them to do so。

On the banks of the winding Qingjiang River, in addition to the willow trees that are swaying with the wind and rain, there is only one white crane tower left that can be used to shelter from the rain. So groups of wet girls gathered to the White Crane Tower, their clothes were wet, the words of the warbler and the swallow language were attractive, and the spring ** people who were naked provoked the people who ate wine and tea on the White Crane Tower to visit frequently.

And the girls didn't seem to care about the spring color that was inadvertently leaked, and calmly walked into the restaurant, asked for a dry cloth, ordered refreshments and side dishes, and continued to chirp and laugh with their female companions.

The suitable viewing place on the bank of the Qingjiang River is not long, after a while, the girls all entered the White Crane Tower, the sound of the warbler and the swallow language can be heard everywhere, with the arrival of the girls, the whole building seems to be a little brighter.

After a while, the scenery outside the White Crane Tower is only left with the fresh and empty beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, and the little pedestrians who are still walking between the heaven and the earth, the wind and rain, black and white rendering, the whole scenery outside the window, like a dream and like a wonderful landscape painting.

Xu Heng admired the whole beautiful scenery for a long time before he retracted his gaze with satisfaction, the man in the Confucian shirt opposite had already turned his head, took a sip of the rice wine in his hand, stared blankly at the four dishes and one soup in front of him, his expression was lonely, and Xu Heng could feel the low mood.

Sensing Xu Heng's return, the man raised his head and smiled: "It's beautiful." ”

Xu Heng nodded, his gaze shifted from the man to the wine and food on the table, and finally glanced out the window again, turned his head, took a sip of wine, and stated in a calm tone: "Brother Shao has long expected heavy rain?"

The man in the shirt nodded in confirmation. Xu Heng must be sure in his heart that before the "fight" began, his inexplicable look out of the window was indeed due to events, not for tricks.

Xu Heng has more confidence in his observation, and he still has several inferences that need to be verified one by one to see if they are correct.

"If I'm right, I guess this rain won't last long. Xu Heng said another conclusion, and while speaking, Xu Heng's eyes flashed in front of the old man and the traveler who had long expected the heavy rain, he was extremely sure that this conclusion was correct, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued: "Seeing that you are unusually familiar with Jiangnan, I think you must be a Jiangnan person from your ancestral home here, or at least have lived here for a while!"

The man in the Confucian shirt on the opposite side still didn't answer, but his low head was raised, and his depressed face gradually became more relaxed, Xu Heng seemed to be encouraged, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "I'm obviously used to the convenient dress of the rivers and lakes, but I have to wear a set of Confucian shirts of Jiangnan scholars, which is not used to it and will affect the play of strength." A veteran of the rivers and lakes must understand the importance of clothing for martial arts, so it stands to reason that this situation should not appear in a veteran, so why must Brother Shao wear a Confucian shirt?"

Xu Heng's gaze wandered over the man in the Confucian shirt, looking for any clues, and the person who was watching also straightened his waist, and the man completely put aside the decadence and depression just now, and began to deal with it with all his might: "Go on." The other party ordered.

Xu Heng pursed his lips and began to brew a smile: "It is impossible to infer the truth from the details. Every trace and every detail has many possibilities, and it is the specific environment that reduces those infinite possibilities to the point where they can be judged by human beings. The possibilities that can be inferred from the details of Brother Shao's appearance and behavior have come to an end, so I plan to make bold assumptions about one thing as Brother Shao did before!"

The man in the Confucian shirt was silent, a smile reappeared on his lips, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all as before, put down the wine glass and did not pour any more wine, waiting for Xu Heng's assumption.

Xu Heng's heart was like water at the moment, but in fact, at this moment, it was meaningless to assume. If this was a battle, it might be of great use, but not now, he had confirmed that his encounter with the other party was completely a coincidence, a coincidence that could not be more coincidental, and before Xu Heng opened his mouth to break the other party's snooping, the two had no intersection at all. It wasn't until Xu Heng opened his mouth that he had this confrontation that tested his reasoning ability.

It is also an experience for Xu Heng, so he must come to this conclusion.

Xu Heng was sitting in a precarious position, and said like a verdict: "So I boldly assume that your ancestral home is Jiangnan, and then you traveled out, and finally settled in Mobei or lived in Mobei for a long time, and now you have returned to your hometown Jiangnan because you have been homesick for a long time. Wearing a scholar's shirt is to reminisce about the feeling of the past. But things are not people, you can no longer find traces of the past, and in melancholy, you just found a restaurant to drink stuffy tea!"

Xu Heng combined all the information he had deduced into the half-life deeds of the man on the other side and finished it in one breath, full of energy and heartiness.

After silently listening to Xu Heng's assumptions, the man did not react, as if he was not talking about his past, Xu Heng got up and poured wine from the two empty wine glasses, and the man surnamed Shao, who had been staring at Xu Heng for a long time, praised: "Haha, the future is terrible, the future is terrible!"

Xu Heng put down the wine jug, hugged his fists and saluted, sat down slowly, met the other party's gaze, and asked calmly, "Is there a mistake in the guess of the little brother?"

"Except for one thing, it's almost all right. The man surnamed Shao was not drinking, but corrected him, "My full name is Shao Yinshui, a person from Broken Cloud City, Qiongzhou, Jiangnan, born in a scholarly family, enlightened at the age of three, studied hard for 12 years, and then failed to succeed in the next five years, and went out to travel in frustration, but stepped into the rivers and lakes step by step, went south and north for 21 years, and also broke out a career that was not inferior to the family, and finally settled in Mobei. ”

"Today is indeed to return to the hometown to visit relatives, but closer to the hometown, the closer to the hometown, so I drink tea in this white crane tower. ”

Shao Yinshui finished talking about his half-life experience, lowered his head and sighed: "The closer I get to my hometown, the more I feel that a dress in the rivers and lakes is an eyesore, so I bought a Confucian shirt to wear, and I want to find the feeling of being angry and singing in the daytime, but," Shao Yinshui sighed, raised his head and showed a free and easy smile to Xu Heng, and he didn't have to get up, as soon as he tore it off, the Confucian shirt on his body was 'taken off', revealing a set of black-clothed and short-shirted Jianghu martial arts dressed underneath, "I only understand now that everything before the age of twenty is completely unsuitable for me!"

At this moment, the man swept away the depression when he was wearing a Confucian shirt, showing a unique vigorous momentum of Jianghu people. Although this man is over forty years old, his vitality is more vigorous than that of many young people, he raised his head and chuckled, and said to himself: "What I really love is the lonely Gobi in the desert, the bloody life of licking blood with a knife, not the leisurely and stable Jiangnan life of farming and studying!"

Xu Heng took a sip of wine, watched the man in front of him untie the knot, and suddenly said, "Then will you still go home to visit?"

"Of course. It's hard to come back. Shao Yinshui's temperament changed suddenly, hearty as a spring day, no longer gloomy, raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of Dongpo meat and tasted it, "Yes, soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy, I haven't eaten such delicious Dongpo meat for many years." It's only something you can eat in your hometown......"

Shao Yinshui, who has recovered freely, has also recovered the unique uninhibition of Jianghu people, and his mood is good and his appetite is also open, Xu Heng is also willing to associate with this kind of person, because he can do it at will and come casually. At the same time, he also understood why the other party exuded such an obvious sense of inquiry when he ascended to the second floor.

Shao Yinshui is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, yes, but what he is good at should be martial arts rather than strategy, and his hearty nature is suppressed under the gloomy mood, and what is shown outside is that he is as gloomy as a veteran who is good at human nature.

Veterans also have a gloomy and hearty difference, if it is a person with a gloomy mind, Xu Heng imagined that such a person would not be able to find out about his own exploration and temptation now, and even unconsciously fell into his calculations and suffered a dark loss. And the person with a hearty mind also has a wealth of experience and vision, but he will not dig out his mind to calculate others, he is better at using experience and vision to see through the other party's conspiracy, so as to find flaws, and use strength to break through the ingenuity.

Of course, this method of dividing martial arts people with facial makeup is not so accurate, but it will continue to develop with the increase of Xu Heng's insight and perception. As long as he is immersed in the rivers and lakes for a long time, Xu Heng will also become a veteran with his own unique experience.

Once it was confirmed that Shao Yinshui was a hearty veteran, many things would be figured out, it turned out that the vigilance anytime and anywhere was unintentionally emanated, and it was a kind of protection for himself when he was in a bad mood, but Xu Heng mistakenly thought that it was a target for himself, so there was a series of temptations in the back.

"What an interesting misunderstanding. ”

Xu Heng laughed in his heart. After thinking about everything, Xu Heng also had a sense of refreshment, so the two people who relaxed at the same time began to taste food together and drink happily.

At the same time, the wind and rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the dark clouds began to slowly recede. As Xu Heng expected, I believe that soon, the sunny weather and sunshine will soon return to the world.
