Volume IV: The First Entry into the North II

This time Wu Mingshi didn't answer quickly, he fell into contemplation again, this time the question was a little deeper, and he couldn't understand the meaning of this question with his experience. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, Wu Mingshi raised his head with some doubts: "Senior, I don't understand, I can understand that you asked about the taste of tears, which is the mood controlling people's taste, but is drinking this wine also a mood?" ”

The young man shook his head in disappointment and said to himself: It's a pity, this child is too young to understand human feelings, and it is normal not to understand the world.

"It turned out that there was a child who also drank this wine like you, and he said it was bitter, and later I learned that this child's parents committed suicide because of debt, and the family was very poor, and he didn't like to communicate with people since he was a child, and always thought that everyone in the world was bad people, just like those who forced his parents to death. He looks at the world and is disgusted; There is also a child who is from a relatively wealthy family, and he has just celebrated his birthday, and many people are willing to make friends with him, and he sees everyone as good. Later this kid drank my wine, and he told me that the wine was sweet and delicious. Do you see what I mean? The young man seemed to be recalling the past, casually recounting two experiences.

Wu Mingshi's dull eyes suddenly flashed a fine light, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes were wide open, but he couldn't say a word.

The young man waved his hand: "You don't need to tell me, you naturally have your answer in your heart, just remember your own heart." The beauty of the world is self-evident. After speaking, he swaggered away with the wine gourd, leaving Wu Mingshi alone to ponder quietly. He felt that the sound of the wind and the tide was so beautiful at this moment, as if two people were playing different instruments playing a natural tune, and everything was so silent. I don't know how long it was, and suddenly a voice broke the peace.

"No name? What do you see! "A beautiful woman is coming, it is Lin Shiyue.

Wu Mingshi woke up from his contemplation, snorted, and looked at Lin Shiyue's gaze a little dull. However, Lin Shiyue didn't notice Wu Mingshi's abnormality, she walked to Wu Mingshi's side and said softly: "The night view of the Yangtze River is so beautiful, you see that the stars in the sky are all in pairs, why don't you find someone to accompany you to enjoy the beautiful scenery?" Lin Shiyue smiled, and there was a hint of blush on her pink face. She looked at Wu Mingshi expectantly, waiting for him to answer. "Companion? I think it's good for me to meditate alone. Wu Mingshi hadn't woken up from the contemplation just now, and said a little sneeringly.

Lin Shiyue's face stiffened when she heard this, and she continued with some unwillingness: "What's so good about being alone? Is it not desolate to be lonely? ”

Wu Mingshi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Desolate? Who knows if it is desolate or not? It's good that your heart isn't desolate. At this time, Wu Mingshi only had the conversation with the young people in his mind, and he didn't realize his incomprehension at all. Wu Mingshi walked towards his room with his feet in a wooden manner, and actually left Lin Shiyue hanging there.

Lin Shiyue watched Wu Mingshi go away, stomped her feet angrily, and secretly scolded Wu Mingshi in her heart for being a bastard. When was she a child, she was snubbed by others, especially as a boy. But she didn't notice that a man in brocade was staring at her in the corner, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Several people were not calm this night, Wu Mingshi was pondering, Lin Shiyue was angry, and Situ Yang... Pouring wine alone.

The next day, Lin Shiyue got up early, she walked out of the room to find something to eat, but as soon as she went out, she bumped into a delicate face - Wu Mingshi!

It seems that Wu Mingshi got up earlier than her, and has been standing in front of her door, with drops of dew on the inky black robe, and at a glance, you can know that Wu Mingshi is motionless at this station.

"Cut, what are you doing standing here!" Lin Shiyue's face was full of anger, but she was happy in her heart: This wooden guy, did you realize that you were wrong yesterday and came to apologize to me? She feigned annoyance and turned to close the door, but her movements were unusually slow. As she expected, Wu Mingshi really stopped her and said, "Don't close the door, I still have something!" Wu Mingshi's face was anxious, and he hurriedly held the door.

Lin Shiyue looked at Wu Mingshi's anxious expression, and thought that he was repenting for his rudeness to himself yesterday, and was about to be happy in his heart, but he heard Wu Mingshi say: "I just want to ask, did you see your predecessor when you came to me yesterday, he left after talking to me, I can't find anyone else in the morning, I still have something to do with him!" Hey, hey! ”

Lin Shiyue's face changed, and she suddenly became gloomy, and even used internal force to push the door, and poor Wu Mingshi was locked outside.

"Big sister! Eldest sister! What did I do wrong! Open the door! Hey, hey! Wu Mingshi shouted outside the door, but the closed door didn't move at all. And behind him, at some point, there was a young man in brocade who was Situ Yang.

"What is Xiao Ming yelling at....woke me up." Situ Yang rubbed his sleepy eyes, which were bloodshot.

When Wu Mingshi saw that the person who came was Situ Yang, it was as if he had seen a savior: "Brother Situ, have you seen your predecessors?" ”

Situ Yang shook his head at Wu Mingshi with a strange expression, and he didn't know if he was saying that he didn't know or if he wanted to say that the child was hopeless.

"Are you looking for me?" The plain white-robed man appeared behind them like a ghost, he yawned and said lazily: "Young man is good, he is so energetic early in the morning, why are you looking for me?" The man glanced at the two young men standing in front of him, he pointed at Wu Mingshi and said, "Is it you kid looking for me?" Then it goes without saying. ”

Wu Mingshi's happy expression froze on his face, and he didn't know where to stand for a while.

"Hmm... It's been a long day, and you're getting there, kids. Let's go half a day further and we'll be on the shore! The man said a little tiredly, "You little fellows, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to the north to exhaust me." ”

At noon, the big ship slowly docked, and the three of them said goodbye to the man and got off the boat.

When the three of them got off the boat, Situ Yang suddenly found that Lin Shiyue had an extra yellow scroll in his hand, and he was a little puzzled, so he said, "Xiaoyue, what is that in your hand?" ”

Lin Shiyue glanced at Situ Yang: "Of course it's a map, do you know how to go without a map?" ”

Situ Yang smiled awkwardly, no longer asked, and followed her honestly.

The three of them walked to a city gate. The gate was ten zhang high, three feet thick, and the walls on both sides were all made of huge stone bricks, each weighing hundreds of pounds, and the walls built by these huge stone bricks were about two feet thick. Such a strong city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a plaque on the city gate, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dance is written with three big characters Deshun City.

Wu Mingshi couldn't help but smack his lips, this city is more magnificent than Yong'an City.

"This northern kingdom really spared no expense, and actually built a city that is stronger than our Yong'an City." Situ Yang couldn't eat grapes a little and said that grapes were sour, "When we come back from the Southern Dynasty, I will definitely find a way to get my father to apply to the imperial court to come here to be the lord of the city." ”

This Deshun City is really worthy of the trade gathering place of the northern country, all kinds of commodities are readily available, large and small shops are dazzling, some of the people inside wear Hu clothes, some wear robes, and there are many cross-swords around their waists, it seems that they are also passing by the rivers and lakes people who pass here.

There is no big problem for the three of them to enter the city, but as soon as they enter the city, they are a little embarrassed, no one here often comes to the northern country, where can there be a place to settle in this city, none of them knows when this wandering will go, and if they encounter any powerful people who accidentally offend, they have no one in the backstage of the northern country. Needless to say, Wu Mingshi was the second city he had come to, and it was impossible for Situ Dashao to come to the north under normal circumstances. The eyes of the two were on Lin Shiyue, waiting for her to make an idea. Lin Shiyue looked left and right, and found that the two of them looked at themselves a little helplessly: "Why do you both look at me, I haven't been to this city to walk around." As he spoke, he walked ahead.

Lin Shiyue put on a veil as soon as she entered the city, after all, this was a strange place, and her appearance was too easy to attract attention, and she didn't want to cause trouble.

This Deshun City is also strange, there are all kinds of shops is the poor number of inns, maybe because it is a trade route, people come and go to shop and rarely live in the store, so that the business of this city inn is not easy to do.

The three of them finally found an inn with better conditions, and were just about to settle down, when a young man came in. The young man, who was in his early twenties, dressed in a wide shirt with large sleeves, and was dressed in fine silk and satin, looked like the son of a powerful local nobleman. After the young man entered the door, he shouted: "Boss, I have taken care of this store today, and I will blow away all the people who live in the store, and the price will be double for you!" ”

The innkeeper was just about to accept the silver handed over by Situ Yang, and when he saw that the young man was coming, he quickly put down the work in his hand and grabbed the front desk, nodding like a pug: "Childe, the little one will do it." Just now, he smiled at Wu Mingshi and the others, but now his face turned vicious and said: "The store is full, and we can't accommodate guests, so please go to another house!" ”

Lin Shiyue has always robbed others, when did she let others bully her like this, she was so angry and was about to hit someone, but Wu Mingshi grabbed it with one hand and whispered in her ear: "We have just arrived in the north, everything is careful!" This person seems to have an unusual identity and is not easy to provoke. ”

Lin Shiyue also came back to her senses when Wu Mingshi reminded her like this, stomped her feet in an atmosphere, snorted, turned her head and left.

The young man suddenly noticed Lin Shiyue, although Lin Shiyue was wearing a veil, but her figure and temperament could not be hidden, this young man suddenly showed lewdness and deliberately took a step to the side to block Lin Shiyue's way: "Little beauty, do you want to live in a hotel?" Okay, this shop is covered by Master Ben, but if you want to live with me, you can be tolerant, can you live with me? ”

Lin Shiyue frowned, the young man's frivolous gaze made her really unbearable, the nameless sword came out of the sheath, and slashed at the young man with a sword.

This young man is obviously an unlearned and unskilled gentleman, and when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him, he didn't say anything, but he was so frightened that he was scared, but fortunately, he was followed by two big men with a big shape, and when he saw Lin Shiyue, he took out a short iron rod and surrounded him.

Wu Mingshi and Situ Yang saw that the situation was uncontrollable, and they also stepped forward. The two of them blocked a big man, and just as they wanted Lin Shiyue to go first, they saw Lin Shiyue's sword light flickering and cut off the head of the gentleman's neck. Situ Yang's complexion changed greatly, how could he have provoked an enemy when he had just arrived in the northern country. Anyway, now that even the young master of the enemy family has been killed, there is no shortage of these two little soldiers, and they no longer stop stabbing several shots in a row, one shot is more fierce than the other, and the guns are all connected together, and the big man on the opposite side can't avoid it and is stabbed into a sieve.

Wu Mingshi's hand is not slow, with his superhuman footwork, he can't defend the big man at all, and only one sword kills him.

After the three of them finished solving their opponents separately, they looked at each other, Situ Yang and Wu Mingshi blocked the door of the inn and did not let people in, but Lin Shiyue ran to the innkeeper and asked her who the soul of the sword was.

The innkeeper was already scared on the ground when he saw the two parties fighting, and he didn't dare to speak hard at all when he looked at Lin Shiyue's forced question: This... This is the son of the Lu family in the west of the city... Lu Jia... It turned out to be surnamed Bu Liugu..."

Lin Shiyue no longer listened to his nonsense, and was clean and neat again.

Wu Mingshi and Situ Yang couldn't stop the crowd of onlookers: "Lin Shiyue! Hurry up! It's too late to go! ”

When Lin Shiyue heard this, she strode forward, and the three of them fled here one by one.

"This is the Lu family's gentleman in the west of the city." Lin Shiyue didn't wait for the two of them to ask questions.

Situ Yang was stunned when he heard the Lu family: "The Lu family... It won't be Bu Liugu..."After all, Situ Yang is the son of Yong'an City, and he still knows some things about the northern country.

Wu Mingshi was a little puzzled, what these two people were talking about.

"You know it's a big family, we can't stay in this city." Lin Shiyue looked at Wu Mingshi's expression and said slowly.

"Come with me, there's a place around here that I know well." Lin Shiyue jumped into the air and said to the two people behind her.

The three of them walked out of the city for a while, and came to a hill. Lin Shiyue looked left and right, and no one blew a whistle, and at this time, dozens of black-clothed masked people suddenly rushed out of the surroundings, each carrying a long sword at their waists, and the momentum was menacing!
