Willow Lane.
The red setting sun has set in the west.
When he came back, he brought a few chicken legs to the toddler, and he played with her in the yard in the sunset.
By the time he applied herbs to the wounds on his body, the last rays of daylight had completely disappeared into the darkness.
Looking up at the clear night sky, he took a pillow and climbed up to the top of the ridge along the willow tree.
He lay down with a long sigh of relief, looking up at the night sky.
The moon rises in the morning, and it shines brightly and yellowish, hanging above the head of this endless city.
He likes the feeling of being alone looking up at the starry sky in silence. Because the purity of the night sky can make him forget everything for a while.
He liked the feeling of calm.
He cherishes that feeling too.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes lit up, and he was even glad that he could see such a gorgeous night sky again.
Although he rarely misses such an opportunity, he has that feeling of satisfaction and pleasure every time he looks up.
This willow, wind, spring, moon. Life is like this, how good it is!
To be able to experience all of this alone now seemed to him to be an almost luxury.
meteor
Pierce the sky.
Covering the sun turned his head, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he watched the very dazzling light of the meteor flash in his eyes, and it was gone in an instant.
Such a brilliant and wonderful shooting star!
Such as Xu Jingli's night sky!
He was so intoxicated that his body and mind were already in itβhow nice it would be if this moment were eternal!
- Time was silent for a while.
The moon rises in the middle of the sky.
The bright moonlight, sprinkled.
Even the noise of the toddler at the entrance of the alley was hidden, and the earth was quiet again.
Only the light breeze of the breeze, whispering.
The night is getting deeper, and the people are getting quieter.
The night of May seemed to be a little cold, and I thought about it for a while, while stretching. He held his head with one hand, and looked a little helpless on the other.
Insects and birds are sleepy, and they are silent. Probably they're "sleepy" too, right?
Only a few bright and sparse stars in the firmament, blinking and blinking, seemed to look strangely at the man lying on the roof top. If he could speak, he would be urging him to go back to sleep, right?
The earth is quiet.
"Dang" sounded, and a loud sound sounded on the street.
Anyone who plays the watch knows to remind the sleepless person to go to bed earlier and be careful of the candle.
It was this sound that sounded, and the sun was just about to get up, when he saw a figure in the night sky, sweeping like the wind from the ridge of the roof in the distance ahead, and stopped there at once.
When he saw it, he lay down again, and then suddenly there was a rush of footsteps and shouting in the street.
In the distance, the figure stood on the ridge of the roof, faintly visible, with a black cloak behind him.
The cloak fluttered in the wind.
The figure turned its head slowly.
Because he was so far away, I couldn't see his face clearly by the moonlight. But his two eyes that shone red light, and at once people could see clearly from a distance.
On the top of the roof next to the willows, there is no longer a shadow of the sun at this moment.
"He's there!" several officers and men with torches looked up and saw the man, and the other officers and soldiers also shouted and rushed from that side, and formed a heap under the room.
On the roof, the man with red eyes was about to shoot arrows when he saw the officer and soldier taking a crossbow and was about to leave, when a masked man with a hooded head and face and wearing a rat's night suit suddenly appeared opposite him.
The crossbow bolts in the hands of the officers and soldiers were lowered, because the two men above had already fought in an instant.
After a few rounds, there was only a loud "bang", and suddenly the cloak man fell down heavily, smashing the tiles one after another, and collapsing a large piece of the roof.
All the officers and soldiers shouted and stepped forward together, and pressed the man who had fallen to a firm. When they looked up again, they saw that a few stone bricks were still falling down with a "clatter", and the dust was flying, but the masked man jumped behind the roof tiles a few steps earlier.
"I don't know who the masked man is, but he's helped us get the murderer down. The officer and soldier said as he locked up the suspect. At this moment, suddenly the lamp and candle in the door lit up, and I heard a woman shouting and scolding like a lion roaring in Hedong: "What a damn bastard! The third watch dares to come to beat the old lady in the middle of the night! I think you are going to die!" A fat and stout middle-aged woman with an open shirt rushed out of the bed with a thick stick in her hand. She crossed her bucket waist and stared at a pair of big eyes like brass bells, like a vicious dominatrix.
When the officers and soldiers saw it, they were almost not shocked.
It was still the leading catcher who reacted quickly enough, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "This eldest sister, I'm really sorry, we are looking for the murderer, and we don't want to damage your house." Well, it's late at night, we'll pay you some money, and tomorrow you'll find someone to fix it, what do you think?" he said, and quickly reached into his arms.
"That's pretty much it!" the shrew saw that he was polite, and most of her anger disappeared in a moment.
The head catcher only took out a dozen pennies, which was of course far from enough. So he went to those people again and beckoned them to gather money one by one. He finally scraped together a hundred and ten copper coins and brought them over, and the shrew rejoiced.
After the officers and soldiers escorted the man away, he stood at the corner of the street. He was dressed in the nocturnal black, but his head and face were revealed, and the mask was in his hand. He poked his head out to look over there, but the shrew turned her head violently and glared at the street where he was hiding.
He hid behind the corner, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then walked into the hazy moonlit night step by step......
When the first rays of the morning sun shone through the window, he rolled over from his bed.
In the room, the walls, cabinets, tabletops, and even under the bed are filled with all kinds of herbs, neat and layered.
When he woke up, the first thing he saw was the various herbs in the room. As soon as he saw those medicinal herbs, he felt full of energy and strength.
When he got up and washed, the first thing he did was to fill the bamboo basket on the table with all kinds of herbs. He looked at the injuries on his body again, and there was no serious problem.
Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, he closed the door and stood in the courtyard, he looked up at the clear sky above his head, and laughed inexplicably for a moment.
Out of the alley, he visited the blacksmith's child in the neighborhood as usual.
The sweet pastries and pastries are fragrant all over the street. "At the beginning of a new day, a few steamed buns, this is the most real. He smiled and walked straight to the stall on the street.
He still ordered a bowl of white porridge, two desserts, three steamed buns, and four steamed buns.
Two voices beside him sounded: "Have you heard that Liu Feixue is dead, we thought we could be safe, but we heard that there was an accident last night!"
"What's wrong, what's going on?"
"Someone said I saw a ghost again last night!"
"Ah, didn't the government say that they had killed the man-eating demon?
"Maybe, I heard that on the night of the encirclement and suppression of Liu Feixue, many people escaped, and the government never caught it, so they came out to do evil again. However, the government has already taken precautions and preparations, and I heard that another one was arrested last night!"
"That's a good thing, these scum, how can I reassure the people. β
In order to encircle and suppress Liu Feixue, the government also paid a lot of price, and I heard that even the two brothers were seriously injured. β
"Yes, this also shows that they are good headhunters who sincerely serve the people, and I only hope that the government will have more such headcatchers, and that is the luck of the people. β
Depends on the flowing water, sparse willows.
On the banks of the river, verdant willow trees hang down their shade leaves, gently blown by the breeze, and move softly, revealing speckled spots.
He took a steamed bun in one hand and chewed it as he walked. He walked out into the shade of the willows, facing the crowded street, and sat on the big rock.
He took out the herb flag from the bamboo basket and put it aside.
After swallowing the last mouthful of steamed buns, he took out the medicinal materials from the back basket and placed them on the cloth, and casually called out: "Sell medicine, see a doctor, and get rid of good medicine when it arrives." Specializing in the treatment of all kinds of diseases, specializing in all kinds of herbs, the price is affordable, welcome to consult and see ......"
When he was set up and sat down, he had just called twice, and a voice suddenly sounded: "You sell medicine, I sell calligraphy and paintings, you-don't mind if I set up a stall next to you, right?"
He still carried the bookcase on his back, and he still held a pennant with the word "book" written on one side and the word "painting" written on the other. He walked with a smile, dressed in a green shirt, with a scarf tied on his head, and his handsome figure made people feel very comfortable when he laughed.
"Absolutely. As soon as he saw him, he was very happy. He hurriedly moved the stall and invited him to sit beside him.
Qin Longxiu took off his equipment and placed it in front of him, and at the same time planted the flag beside him.
Two flags, one on the left and one on the right, were erected there, and two people sat side by side on the side of the street, looking at the pedestrians in front of them.
"I sold the book, created it by myself, and there are lessons from my own personal experience in it, and all kinds of people are sophisticated. Reading it can make you avoid detours, and it can help you solve countless puzzles in life, and make you laugh and solve a thousand sorrows......" Qin Longxiu just fiddled with it, and casually sold out.
"I also said that I have the feeling of yearning for this place and not being here for a long time," Qin Longxiu just shouted, and looked a little helpless, "We still have to return and face this bland and boring reality." β
He looked at him and said, "How long has that passion passed, and you have thrown it all away so quickly, and you have not kept your duty and are uneasy about the status quo?"
Qin Long smiled: "This is the virtue that people show when they are not satisfied!"
He smiled: "Although this is the case, you should also know that reality is inherently boring and boring. β
Qin Yongxiu: "I know, and I always remember the purpose of our life. β
"That's right, think about our purpose, that might make us feel a little more fulfilled." β
Qin Longxiu: "I still remember we said that although this world is very intense, we have to love all this, and we must fill our hearts with a sense ......of spaciousness!" he said, taking out a bag from the bookcase and handing it to him, "This is the silver we captured Yang Chenghuan, Yang Da handed it to me yesterday, 165 taels per person." β
He took it and sighed: "We need money to survive, this is also a cruel reality. β
Qin Longxiu looked at him for a while and said, "So, I still have an idea, we still have a few chances, and we can make a lot of money......"
Blind Sun glared at him: "And you have to take a certain risk, don't you? β
Both of them laughed as they spoke.
"What I'm most curious about now is," said the sun, looking at Naqin Longxiu, "do you dare to go to that little incense pavilion at night." β
Qin Longxiu couldn't stop laughing for a while, he fell silent for a while, and even a look of fear appeared in his eyes for a while: "Actually, Liu Feixue is just a puppet, as for that woman, maybe she is an important clue to open all the mysteries." β
"Have you finally woken up from the drunkenness of that night?"
Qin Longxiu glared at him and said, "If I hadn't used a beautiful man's trick that night, would you have been so easy to fight against that Liu Feixue?"
"So you've been enduring humiliation at that time?"
Qin Longxiu said forbiddenly: "Although it seemed confusing to outsiders at that moment, even I almost got carried away, but when I finally had a trace of consciousness, you don't know how scared I was!"
Sha Sun couldn't help but laugh and said: "I think you are cheap and say cool things, and you are bold." You're lucky this time, and no one knows what will happen next time!"
Qin Longxiu laughed: "How dare there be a next time! The little wind in the crystal cave, that is a living example!"
The two laughed for a while, and someone came to buy some medicinal herbs.
Although Naqin Ryuxiu tried hard to sell his book to passers-by, the two of them only looked through it for a moment, and then both shook their heads and left.
Seeing this, Qin Longxiu said: "How can I go on like this, it seems that I have to use my killer move!"
Cover Sun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, you still want to shout out your exaggerated and outrageous advertisement?"
Qin Longxiu said: "Good business depends on publicity, and publicity, the old method generally has little effect, and you still have to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep." Just watch it, and it's guaranteed to attract a lot of people's attention. He didn't pay attention to the sun, and directly opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Selling medicine, selling books, selling paintings! Everyone, exquisite skills, wonderful hands rejuvenation, created by yourself, specializing in the treatment of all kinds of diseases, and the lessons you have created have been personally experienced, keeping your most beautiful moment, and making you reborn......" He was halfway through the call, and suddenly stopped, he looked over there and said, "Huh", "Isn't that the young lady of the Zisha family?"
When he was busy looking over, he saw that Zisha lowered his head with his dream and walked forward. Beside her, the young Zisha was still accompanied by her all her life, and several subordinates followed them from a distance.
The purple sand always seems to be preoccupied, although she reveals an amazing youthful beauty, but her melancholy shows the pity she exudes.
It turns out that there is a kind of beauty, and it can also be sadness.
Both of them were almost stunned by her appearance.
Zisha looked to the side of the street from time to time, not knowing what she was looking for, until her eyes were locked on the sun, and her eyes flickered visibly.
Qin Longxiu whispered: "It looks like you have handed in the peach blossom luck." β
Sha Sun also whispered back to him: "Nonsense, it's just that her brother's medicine is still with me." As he spoke, he stood up early, because Zisha walked towards him alone with his dream.
"Miss Suimeng, it's a pleasure to meet you!" said Sunshine first.
Zisha saw him in a dream, and his eyes seemed to show a different look, and even his voice was full of joy: "It turns out that you are here, and I am very happy to see you again." β
"We've always been there, I said I'm going to heal Brother Ling's injuries, this street is my job, where can we go if we're not here?"
Zisha smiled with her dream: "That's what I said, I also happened to come out to relax, and this is not a coincidence." She was dressed in a purple dress, her eyes were wandering, and her demeanor was like a delicate flower waiting to bloom. When the two saw it, they couldn't help but nod their heads and nod and smile.
This pleasing girl makes anyone who sees her feel energetic from the bottom of their hearts.
Unable to guess the purpose of her coming, he looked behind her, and only continued to be polite to her tentatively: "Miss Suimeng's brother, why don't you come with you?"
Zisha said with a dream: "We passed by here, I saw you, and I was not sure for a while, so I came to take a look." My fifth brother is still waiting for me over there. Alright, I should go too!" Her clear eyes seemed to dim for a moment at this sentence.
Even Qin Longxiu on the side felt the change in her, not to mention the sun covering her standing in front of her, he clearly saw her lossβshe must have been full of thoughts, secretly and visibly full of sadness and hesitation.
Shade watched her turn around, not knowing what to say, but there was no need to say anything. But he still felt the need to be polite to her before she left: "By the way, I will go to your house tomorrow and help your brother check the injury again." β
"Okay, you can just go over directly, tomorrow I may not be there!" Zisha slowly turned her head with the dream, but only half of it returned, and the sun only saw her side face.
"Aren't you home tomorrow?" Sensing her abnormality, he couldn't help but ask for a moment.
Zisha had just taken a step with her dreams, but she stopped, she still slowly turned her face sideways, and said slowly in a low and slightly strange tone: "Tomorrow I will marry into the palace." β
"Huh?" her voice was faint and crisp, but it sounded like a thunderclap to the two of them. Not only was the sun shocked, but even Qin Longxiu was stunned for a while.
This was the only reaction between the two at this time, and they even opened their mouths to stop her, but they still couldn't say it after allβafter all, between them and her, there was nothing. And why would she listen to them?
Before they could say anything, who knew that Zisha turned around and walked back with the dream, she looked at the sun and asked a little puzzled, "What did you just say?"
He was stunned for a moment, a little inexplicable, but he still had a flash of inspiration and said a little crampedly: "I want to say, that's a good thing, I really want to congratulate Miss." He looked at Qin Longxiu.
Naqin Longxiu was also shrewd, and hurriedly smiled like him: "That's it, isn't this a little too sudden? β
"Thank you!" Zisha's face precipitated with the dream, and she didn't have the slightest joy, "Okay, it's time for me to go!" she turned to leave.
The two of them stood there looking at her, their expressions just like hers, smiling, but they were stiff and tense inside, as if they had knocked over a few miscellaneous jars.
"By the way, thank you for those words you said to me, for those words in your dreams. Before Zisha left with the dream, he turned around and whispered this in front of the sun. She finished speaking, and then walked away without looking back.
Covering the sun looked at her departing back, and was completely stunned. At this moment, he not only felt that her words were a dream, but even all this in front of him seemed to be a dream.
The dream was gone, and the two sat down and looked at each other, but they both felt that they could not speak.
Silent.
Long.
"Catch the thief, don't let him run!" a few shouts were heard in the distance of the street, breaking the silence.
The two of them hurriedly looked, only to see that in the crowd on the street, one person ran past with a panicked expression, and the three catchers and a woman behind him were chasing after him.
The crowd looked at them, for some reason, and with jealousy, just watching them run by.
The man was about to run past the two men's stalls when he suddenly fell, and the catcher caught up with him and took him strongly.
Until they watched the man escort the man away, the two of them smiled in unison,
Shade Sun smiled: "Do you still have the idea of being dull and boring, not keeping your duty, and uneasy about the status quo?"
Qin Longxiu also smiled: "Not for the time being!"
"Although we don't have any skills, just to see some diseases and sell some books, maybe we often need some ups and downs and motivation, so as to dissolve our unwilling and restless heart!"
Qin Longxiu smiled, and he opened his mouth for a moment and shouted: "I sold the book, I created it myself, and it has my own personal experience and lessons, and all kinds of people are sophisticated." Reading it can make you avoid detours, help you solve countless puzzles in life, and make you laugh and solve a thousand sorrows......"
- "How do you sell this book?" a soft voice rang out.
"Thirty texts!" Qin Longxiu withdrew his gaze from a distance, and just finished answering, when he saw the person, he almost didn't immediately open his mouth wide, and he was stunned for a while.
When he looked over, he just glanced back, and immediately looked back, and his expression was exactly the same as that of Xiucai.
I saw that the three young girls who looked like the essence of heaven and earth, wearing purple, white, and colorful dresses, were standing in front of them with obsessive looks.
Covering the sun turned his head to look at Qin Longxiu, only to find that he was also looking at himself with a dejected wry smile at the moment...... (End of full text)
