11: Affectionate parting since ancient times
When Cheng Li read the letter, he didn't deliberately avoid Mrs. Xia. Therefore, every word on the letter, Mrs. Xia can also see it clearly. It's just the front. When she saw the three words "Yulin Ling" signed at the end, she couldn't help but be surprised: "It turned out to be 'amorous'?!"
Cheng Li put down the letterhead and asked, "What kind of affection?"
Mrs. Xia said slowly: "In the previous dynasty, the great poet Liu Sanchang had a famous work, which was called "Yulin Bell". There is such a sentence in it: 'Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more so Kan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival.' 'Cheng Li, haven't you heard of it?'
Cheng Li shook his head: "I don't read much and don't know any poetry. ”
Mrs. Xia said worriedly: "Amorous actually fell in love with you...... Cheng Li, this is not a good thing. Do you know why she's called Amorous? The name is just one of the reasons. What's more, she really has a lot of affection. It's easy to fall in love with someone. In the rivers and lakes, whether black and white, there have been many people who have been with her. ”
Cheng Li frowned: "Ever?"
Mrs. Xia bowed her head and said, "It is indeed once." Affectionate parting since ancient times. So those who fall in love with her usually part with her very quickly. Moreover, it is an eternal parting of life and death. ”
Cheng Lidao: "So, her means of killing people are very powerful?"
Mrs. Xia sighed, "There has never been any evidence that those people died at the hands of amorous. But aside from her reasoning, these people really shouldn't die. So in the end, the account was still on her head. Also because of this, among the four major stalls of Xiuchun Building, she ranks first. ”
Cheng Lidao: "The four stalls? There are three others, who are they?"
Mrs. Xia said: "Affectionate and tender, soul-snatching." Collectively known as the four major stalls. At the same time, it is also a rare genius in a hundred years in the six doors. If these four people join forces, it is said that there is no case in the world that cannot be solved. There is no such thing as unstoppable chaos. Therefore, even the Son of Heaven values them very much. ”
Cheng Li nodded: "Interesting." So, now let's take a look at what kind of gift this amorous stall left behind. ”
Putting down the letterhead, Cheng Li walked to the coffin and kicked the coffin lid open. In an instant, Mrs. Xia's face turned pale, and she instinctively fell backwards, screaming and exclaiming, "Dead people!
The coffin is for the dead. So it wasn't surprising to see dead people inside.
However, when there are hundreds of dead people in this coffin, it is a different matter.
Of course, a coffin, no matter how spacious it is, can't hold many corpses. So strictly speaking, what is inside the coffin is only the human head.
There were more than a hundred heads, all with some kind of calm smile between their eyebrows. It's as if you were in the middle of a sweet dream and suddenly lost your life. Even if he died, he died without pain.
Except for himself and his friends, no matter how many other unrelated people died, Cheng Li would not care at all. But this time things are a little different. Because he suddenly found that he knew more than 100 dead people. Or at least they have all had a relationship.
Just a few hours ago, the more than 100 brocade-clothed men who obeyed the command of Baili Duguan and intercepted Cheng Li and Mrs. Xia were all here.
Cheng Li retracted his gaze and said, "It seems that this amorous stall leader is not the same as Baili Duguan." ”
Mrs. Xia sighed: "Where there are people, there is fighting. Fighting is the rivers and lakes. The imperial court temples are just bigger rivers and lakes. Where is the true Pure Land under the whole world?"
Cheng Li didn't come out of an ivory tower. The world he was in was also full of all kinds of intrigues and calculations, and every day was full of deceit. Therefore, although he naturally dislikes these things, in order to survive, he is no stranger to all kinds of means of struggle.
Therefore, Cheng Li can fully understand Mrs. Xia's words. He said: "Since the Baili Duguan is dead, it seems that this amorous stall has a chance to go further." It's no wonder she would send such a gift. ”
Mrs. Xia hesitated, "Maybe." However, I don't know what it means when it says that it is deeply poisoned and that it is a little rid of the sea of suffering. ”
Cheng Li said lightly: "If you are interested, the next time you really meet, ask in person to understand." It's not too early. You get in the car, I'll catch the car, let's go. ”
Mrs. Xia barely cheered up and said with a smile: "Okay." Then I'll take a little rest. When you sleep, I'll go to sleep for you, and I'll catch the car. ”
Cheng Li was noncommittal, set off to board the carriage, and sat in the driver's seat. Mrs. Xia got into the carriage and closed the door tightly.
The inside of the carriage was clean and comfortable, and it was covered with a thick carpet that completely insulated the wind and frost from the outside, and it looked very warm.
Mrs. Xia's physical strength has been consumed to the limit. Once I relaxed, I felt like my eyelids were filled with lead, and I kept trying to fall down, and I couldn't support it.
She reclined on the carpet and kept telling herself that she could only sleep for a while, and after a little rest, she should take over from Cheng Li, and she couldn't leave all the work to Cheng Li. But after only a few breaths, she fell into a deep sleep, and even if the gongs and drums were beaten in her ears, I am afraid that she would not wake up.
Cheng Li listened attentively, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he picked up the horsewhip and threw a loud whip flower with a "pop~".
When the two horses heard the sound, they immediately opened all four hooves at the same time. Amid the sound of chariots, the carriage gradually moved away from the long street and away from the town. It's just that......
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The more people there are, the bigger the rivers and lakes, and the more fierce the battle will be. Wherever they went, they never saw anyone again, unless they lived in isolation from now on. Otherwise, how can we leave this sinister world?
————
A horse is a good horse, and a car is a good car. Even more coincidentally, the wind and snow finally stopped.
The soft snow on the ground turned to ice, and the wheels rolled on the ice, speeding like a fly. Cheng Li drove the carriage along the main road, and before sunset, he ran for more than two hundred miles and arrived at the city of Mianzhou.
Mianzhou, located in the north-south traffic artery, is also the distribution place of special products such as ginseng and pearls. It is the first bustling place outside the gates.
Therefore, even after sunset, Mianzhou City will not close the city gates, and still let it go in and out. On the long street, there are still people coming and going, and there is no desertion at all.
Cheng Li originally wore a hat to hide his excessively handsome face. But when he fought with the Baili Duguan before, the hat had been broken.
In the carriage prepared for them by the amorous stall leader, there were dry food and wine, charcoal stove and new clothes, almost everything, but there was no new hat. So Cheng Li had no choice but to sit in the carriage, expose his true colors, and swagger through the market.
Although Mianzhou is a big city, there are men and women, young and old, beautiful and ugly, everyone has it. But people like Cheng Li, no matter who they are, have never seen it.
Looking at such a beautiful young man, who is almost so handsome that human imagination is extreme, that he actually sits in the coachman's seat and drives such a dilapidated carriage. Between the two, there is a strong contrast. Invisibly, Cheng Li is particularly eye-catching.
So trouble soon followed.
