Chapter 8 People from the Lake

In the thirtieth year of the Dragon Dynasty, the first day of the fourth month.

"Has the rain stopped?" said a lazy voice from the grass.

There was a creak, and the wooden door was gently pushed open, and the floor outside the door creaked.

The girl in green walked slowly to the bed with a basin of clear water, and said softly: "Childe is awake! The rain stopped at night, but this day is strange, and the sun does not come out when it is all morning, and the fog is in the mountains, and I am afraid that I will not see the sunny day for a while." ”

The man on the bed stretched his waist, brushed off the mattress on his body, and with tiredness in his eyes, he turned over and sat on the eaves, his heels pacing the floor aimlessly.

"Walk, breathe. The man made a support gesture with his hands, stood on his legs, and got up and walked towards the door.

"I can't help my son!" The woman in green hurriedly put the copper basin in her hand on the wooden six-legged basin rack and chased after her.

The woman hurried to the man in three steps, grabbed the man's sleeve, and said softly: "The son still needs to be freshened up, and then he will go out and walk around." ”

The man shook his head, chuckled and followed the woman back into the house.

After sitting down very reluctantly, the man raised his right hand, dusted off the mud stains on the hem of his big sleeve, slapped the back of his head twice with his left hand, and said slowly: "Hey, why are you so sloppy?"

"Last night, the son sat alone in the small pavilion, disgusted by the rain, yelling to cook wine to dispel the cold, this wine is five buckets to drink, and he fell asleep directly, and the night was cold, and Lu'er could only drag the son back to the house. ”

The woman in green hid her face and snickered twice, and was afraid of being discovered by the child, so she hurriedly continued, "The childe's body is heavy, and the green child can't support it, and the road is slippery on this rainy day, and if you don't pay attention, the childe and the son will fall into the muddy water......"

The man lowered his head and pretended to think, but he didn't remember the events of last night, so he could only say "um, um" twice.

After the rain, the birds and insects outside the grass house, the wind poured from the north, although it has already entered the spring, but this year's weather is more unsteady than in previous years, and the light rain has been falling for more than a month after the spring.

Gu Yun: "Spring rain is as expensive as oil. The tender green grass on the embankment by the lake spread frantically in all directions, but the fog in the mountains was heavy, covering the lake with a layer of white veil that could not be dissolved, making the scene even more hazy.

The name of this lake is called: Longyuan Pond, and Emperor Taizu gave this place to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to raise a spirit animal for the emperor's family: the dragon.

The art of the spirit is a rare secret technique of a few major families in the world, and several major families are hidden in the world all year round, resulting in few people in the world being able to see the art of the spirit.

The grass house is located in a flat place by the Longyuan Pond, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the Dragon Yuan, this place is originally owned by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and others will be executed by the emperor according to the law, and the mountains here are surrounded by impassable places, making the grass house even more inaccessible.

All of a sudden, the wooden door of the grass house creaked and was pushed open.

The man walked out of the house in a green shirt and carrying a clay pot, followed by a girl with a small red clay stove in his hand, walked quickly to the newly renovated pavilion by the lake, put down the stove, and hurriedly ran to another smaller room next to the grass house.

The man in the green shirt paced unhurriedly, and walked lazily in the direction of the small pavilion.

Looking at his appearance, he is eight feet three inches tall, his body is slightly thin and thin, as if a gust of wind can blow it away, a black hair is upright on the top of his head, and a wooden hairpin is crossed on the bun, which is like bamboo chopsticks. The black hair on the temples drooped smoothly and hung down on the shoulders. The sword eyebrows are starry, the cheeks are thin, but the eyes are only calm, quiet and quiet, like the water in the Longyuan Pool, bottomless, without waves.

A gust of lake wind blew, and the man in the green shirt couldn't help but shiver, his legs sitting cross-legged on the futon tightened, and he took the steaming wine cup in front of the desk and drank it all.

The warm wine flowed down his throat and into his abdomen, and the man lifted the steaming clay pot from the tandoor and poured the wine from the cup again.

Wine a few times.

Suddenly, there was a faint shout from the lake: "Dare to ask Mr. if you are at home, my young master asks to see me." ”

The shout was faintly recognizable, the voice of a young man, but there was no trace of it on the lake, only a white expanse.

"Childe, Childe! Someone asks to see, someone asks to see!" Lu'er rushed to the man in green shirt and gently nudged his shoulder.

"I hear you...... I heard ......" The man in the green shirt said in a lazy voice, "Lu'er, ask who is coming!"

While speaking, the man in the green shirt continued to play with the wine cup in his hand without raising his head.

Here, Lu'er ran two steps towards the lake excitedly, stood on her cheeks with her hands fanned, and shouted: "My son-in-law asked, which young master is here!"

Three years ago, the owner of the grass house didn't know what method he used, and temporarily lent the vacant land by the Longyuan Pond from the Heavenly Master's Mansion to repair a small garden.

The owner of the cottage was accompanied by wine all day long, and by chance, he met a domestic servant in the bazaar, and when he saw that Lu'er was clever, he bought Lu'er back for ten silver coins.

After being bought back by the owner of the grass house, Lu'er served around it all day long, because of the deep residence of the man in the green shirt, she except for the occasional few times to go to the market to buy, she can only do some laundry, cooking, farming, chopping wood in the grass house, naturally very lonely, see someone visiting, it seems very happy.

"My young master is Duke Wulie: Hanyu. I want to see you today!" The young boy on the other side shouted in echo, his voice as if he was about to penetrate the thick fog, and it was particularly ethereal on the lake.

"It's General Han, it's General Han!" Lu'er clapped her hands excitedly, "Great, great, Brother Hanyu is here, Brother Hanyu is here......"

Brother Hanyu in Lu'er's mouth is very good to her, and every time she comes to Caolu, she will bring her some exquisite pastries in the Emperor's Landing City, which is very popular with Lu'er.

"Oh, what is this kid doing...... "The man in the green shirt scratched his head and muttered to himself.

Half a day.

There was a big boat on the lake that was heading towards the grass house, like a shuttle, cutting through the veil-like fog layer by layer.

With a glass of wine, the silhouette of the ship was faintly visible, and the speed of the ship was fast, dozens of times faster than that of ordinary ships, and its speed was comparable to that of a war horse. The hull is like an arrow, the side of the ship is finned, and the tail is like a feather, and its name is Feiyu Dock.

The book in "Emperor Linfu": Feiyuwu: its belly is like a kun, and it can accept hundreds of soldiers; its armor is like a crest, its head is like an arrow, its tail is like a feather, and it has wings on both sides, and it is up to the nine heavens to resist the wind, and it travels three thousand miles in the water.

The Flying Fish Dock is the ordnance of the Imperial Army, which was made by Mozimen using secret techniques and was exclusively used by the Imperial Army.

"Whoosh" two sounds of breaking the air, two dark compartments on the side of the ship shot out of a flying claw, pierced straight into the shore of two hard granite, the tail end of the flying claw is connected to the vajra rope, and the other end of the vajra rope is fixed on the flying fish dock.

Once the claws are secured, another larger compartment on the dock is opened, and a series of planks of the same size are connected in series with thin rings, each with a ring inserted into the claw's vajra rope. The planks are spread out one by one along the diamond rope, like a wooden row of roads.

The Flying Fish Dock anchored a few feet from the shore, and the soldiers were dressed in silver soft armor, three-foot thin swords at their waists, and white feathers on their heads, standing on both sides of the deck in an orderly manner, and the white cloaks behind them were hunting in the wind.

Suddenly, I saw a figure of Shengxue in white, walking on the wooden raft that had been built, followed by a young man, the fog was too big to see the appearance, and it was vaguely recognizable that he was carrying a large bag of things in each hand.

Lu'er couldn't hold back and quickly greeted her: "Brother Hanyu, do you remember to come to see Lu'er." ”

As soon as the young man in white came ashore, Lu'er hugged the man's arm.

I heard that I was infected with a cold a few days ago, so I specially asked Xiaobei to prepare some mountain ginseng for Mr. Wine to use to dispel the cold. The young man in white was not annoyed, but took Lu'er to speed up his pace, and his voice was crisp, as if flowing water sounded very good.

Hearing the sound, Lu'er glanced back at the young man named Xiaobei and grimaced at him. Seeing this, the young man carried a large bag of things and followed with a quick pace.

The three of them walked together, and after a while, they walked outside the small pavilion.

"It's coming. The man in the green shirt stretched lazily and sat on the futon, slightly drunk.

I saw a young man in white standing in front of the pavilion, eight feet and one inch tall, his skin was as white as clotted fat, his sword eyebrows were in his temples, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like a star, he was wearing a fine white silk brocade large-sleeved gown, with a jade belt around his waist, wearing a crown of white jade hair with a bright moon, a long hair was smooth on the top of his head, and a tear mole under his left eye made the whole face look more handsome.

"How is Mr. Wine doing?" the young man in white bowed slightly and bowed respectfully, "Hanyu is here...... I want to ask Mr. for one more thing!"

"You and I don't have to be so restrained, let go of ...... Let go of it!" The man in the green shirt returned the salute, flicked his sleeves, and motioned for the young man in white to sit down.

"You dignified Duke Wulie, my wine is an idle cloud and wild crane, you give such a big gift to the wine, let the emperor know, my head has to move......" The man in green shirt teased while pouring hot wine from the wine cup in front of the young man in white.

"Mr. has a life-saving grace to Hanyu, and Hanyu should also salute Mr. Moreover, Mr. is older than Hanyu, and Mr. is my brother, so Hanyu should be respected. The young man in white wanted to worship again, but was pressed down by the man in green shirt with his hand.

"Brother Hanyu is like this again, and the wine is going to send off the guests!" The man in the green shirt picked up the wine cup and made a gesture of invitation.

"Haha...... The wine brother smiled. The young man in white also picked up the wine cup, and the two of them raised their hands and drank the wine.
