Chapter 3 The Shadow of Taihu Lake II
The Nangong family compound is much more magnificent than the Wang family compound with less feathers, multiple houses inside and out, although there are no carved beams and paintings, they are all blue bricks and white tiles, but they are very natural and harmonious in the surrounding scenery, and the furniture used is also antique, concise and clear without losing the interest and the legacy of the Song Dynasty. Pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Yu less drink the tribute mountain tea sent by the slaves, it is indeed fragrant, while carefully appreciating all corners, there are a lot of famous paintings and calligraphy of the previous generation on the white wall, the ancestors of the Nangong are also of extraordinary taste, moved to the south of the Yangtze River for a long time has been contaminated with the literary brilliance of the Southern Dynasties**, befriending not only the people in the martial arts, but also many of the literati and ink scholars are also guests, compared to their father's vassal elegance is not much higher, thinking of such a arrangement of the father is really unfilial, He smiled to himself, stood up and walked outside the courtyard gate, looking at the beautiful Gongshan Mountain, Bai Mingyue also got up and came to Yu Shao's side, holding his hand and leaning on Yu Shao's shoulder. At this time, Nangong went to unload the burden and instructed the guys in the fire room to clean up the dishes. In front of the compound, there is an open field, there are a lot of people practicing martial arts, and a big house next to it is the weapons depot, these Nangong clan people can choose their own suitable weapons at will, and there is a man who looks like a head walking around in the crowd to correct some people's martial arts posture. Bai Mingyue saw that there were so many people practicing martial arts, so she let Yu Shao go into the house, Yu Shao understood what Bai Mingyue meant, although she was in the territory of a good friend, but after all, she came in without permission, and it was a little impossible to say anything about peeking at other people's martial arts, besides, the martial arts of the Nangong family have never been passed on, Nangong Ling may not say anything, but his family will not think so open-mindedly, the Nangong clan can gain a foothold in Jiangnan, relying on its unique martial arts to surprise it.
Nangong has already returned, Zhang Luo Yushao and Bai Mingyue have a snack first, everyone is sitting around a small round table, Nangong is also a little tired, it is estimated that there is a lot of running for the matter of 'Feng Xueling' during this time.
Yu Shao took a sip of tea, put down the cup and asked Nangong, "Hasn't your eldest brother come back yet?" ”
"No, they didn't tell me how long it would take to be home when they went out." Nangong replied, and then asked Yu Shao: "You said that you saw my family die on Taihu Lake, what happened?" Nangong didn't seem to be willing to talk about the eldest brother.
"Is there a man among your servants who has a black mole in the corner of his eye? I also heard Yin Xiaomei say that I once had an impression of him when I was picking tea on your Gongshan Island." Yu Shao replied.
"It's true, Yin Xiaomei came here that year, and she was accompanied by the black mole's subordinate, do you know how she died?" Nangong asked again.
"Haven't you been home these days, don't you know how your people are?" Yu Shao also asked rhetorically.
"After leaving you that day, I was a little restless on the way back alone, and instead of returning to the courtyard of Dagongshan Island, I went directly to the pontoon bridge and went to the library of my Nangong family. Feng Xueling's was stolen there, I wanted to see what clues were left, just when I went to the island, I found the masked man in black looking at something in my library, I came to the library pavilion lightly, there are also hidden weapons in the library, I secretly turned off the engine, the bookcase shot dozens of flying knives to take the life of the man in black, I didn't expect the man in black to avoid it lightly, when I was about to launch the second mechanism, he had jumped out of the window, landed on a big tree, and quickly came to the ground along the trunk, how could I easily let him escape again, and then flew out of the window, followed by him, grabbed his head and neck, and he avoided it in a flash,I activated the vegetation mechanism arranged by the Big Dipper.,This person easily bypassed.,The arrangement of the mechanism here seems to be well understood.,I suddenly felt like I was hit with a stick.,Even the people of the Nangong clan don't know the ingenuity of the mechanism.,In addition to me and my eldest brother, a few of my family's subordinates know.,The person with a black mole is one of them.,But they can't go to the library.,Every time I go with my eldest brother, we lock the doors and windows.,If you break into the mechanism inside, it will automatically launch a hidden weapon.,Those people are average in martial arts. , never dare to sneak in. But he was also a little panicked, we handed hands together, dismantled a hundred moves up and down, he felt that it would be impossible to subdue me for a while, so he threw a handful of smoke at me, while I was dodging, ran to the shore, plunged into the water, and swam to the direction of the pontoon bridge at the bottom of the water, where my boat happened to be moored there, I quickly grabbed my boat, and he just swam there, how could I let him get on the boat, his clothes were soaked in the water, and they were all attached to his body, and I saw that it was a woman, an old woman who was already some years old, But the mask has been pierced, I think it's not the same person who stole my 'Feng Xue Ling' that day, although I didn't see it with Xiao Hui, but the person who stole 'Feng Xue Ling' should be a young man, and his martial arts attainments are much higher than that of the old woman, although he didn't fight, but looking at her light skills, I knew that I was not her opponent alone, fortunately Xiao Hui was there that day, and I didn't have to be afraid of her when I joined forces. Although this old woman's martial arts are comparable to mine, but the experience of the rivers and lakes is far inferior, she closed her breath underwater for a while, I thought I slipped to the shore and went back, but I didn't think it was under my boat, when I was distracted, she suddenly lifted the stern, I was thrown to the lake, she immediately got on the boat, headed towards Xishan Island, I had to follow her, but there was no boat around, I had to swim and follow her, fortunately it was not very far from Xishan Island, I didn't lose it, she saw that I was chasing after me and was angry, and there was a fight in Xishan Town, At this moment, a man happened to pass by on horseback, and she flew up and kicked the man on the horse to the ground and fainted, and she flew on her horse and galloped away. I think as long as she is in Xishan Town, I can still find him, I first woke up the innocent person, and went to several inns in the town to inquire, this time it was almost dusk, Xishan Town to the land ship is gone, we are all exhausted, should not row a boat out of the island alone at night, finally in an inn I saw the horse, asked the owner of the little second horse if he lived here, the little two nodded, I gave him a piece of silver, he told me what room this person lives in, I asked for a room next to her, This person is not the one who stole 'Feng Xueling', but I think it must have something to do with the person who stole it, I didn't let her see me, I followed her secretly, maybe I can find out the person who stole my secret weapon, I followed her all the way to Wuxi City. Lao Jianghu is Lao Jianghu, she quickly dumped me in Wuxi City, and she must have known that I was following her. I was depressed and went to find Xiaohui, Xiaohui has a lot of eyeliner under the door of the dart bureau, maybe I can find him, but the result is very disappointing, she still escaped. ”
"Then why didn't you return to Gongshan Island?" Yu Shao asked.
"I feel a little angry in my heart, the person who has been following for two days has slipped away under my nose, I think she will not go far, I stayed in Wuxi City for a few days, and also analyzed the whereabouts of this person with Xiaohui, we think it should be the reverse of the north, and we followed Xiaohui all the way to the capital Nanjing, but there is still no news." Nangong said helplessly.
At this time, Bai Mingyue asked Yu Shao, "Yu Shao, you said that the black shadow man last night, could it be the old woman that Nangong said?" ”
"Chances are, last night that man also knew the layout of the trap and trapped us in a tree for the night." Yu Shao saw that Nangong was a little confused, so he told him about what happened last night.
"No wonder I can't track her, although this person's martial arts are not very good, but she is a master of strategy, I can't imagine that she will go and return, I am looking hard in the direction of the north, she can hide in the library very comfortably, and will not disturb her until you appear." Nangong also admired the old woman's cunning and cunning.
"I think this person may be looking for your family's other secret weapon, the 'Meteor Tribulus', your eldest brother's use of this secret weapon should be more domineering than your 'Feng Xueling'." Bai Mingyue said.
"Miss Bai is right, fortunately, this time my eldest brother went out and brought the 'Meteor Thistle' with him." Nangong said.
Yu Shao was thinking about something and asked Bai Mingyue: "Do you remember the two women in Yixing City, one old and one young?" ”
"You know, they almost broke Yin Xiaomei's arm, do they have anything to do with this?" After Bai Mingyue replied, she then told Nangong about the two women he met in Yixing City the day after he left the Wang family compound.
"I don't think it's like this, there were two people who stole the hidden weapon on Gongshan Island that day, after being discovered by Nangong, the young woman relied on her high martial arts skills and good water nature, so she took the 'Feng Xueling' and went first, so as to lure Nangong and Xiaohui away, and let the old woman continue to look for another hidden weapon. Meteor thistle', these two should know that Nangong's eldest brother is not on the island, and will not return to the island for a while and a half, at this time, only Nangong's martial arts are the best, the young woman was fearless, but she didn't expect Xiaohui to be there, if Nangong and Xiaohui joined forces, the young woman estimated that she was not sure to subdue the two masters at the same time, so she had to take the first step. By the time Nangong and Xiaohui followed the young woman all the way to the other side, it was already very late, and they would not return to Gongshan Island, so the old woman could boldly look for the 'Meteor Tribulus'. But I didn't expect to be able to find it, you went back early the next morning, met the old one, you two handed it over, you chased it all the way to Wuxi and then went north to the capital, the old woman came to Yixing and the young woman round, and then the old woman sneaked into the library of Gongshan Island, while looking for a hidden weapon, maybe still looking for the secret passage, it is estimated that there is no gain, but we ran into us. "Yu Shaotou is the analysis of the Dao.
Nangong heard it and felt that it should be these two people that Yu Shao met in Yixing, Bai Mingyue also felt reasonable, thought for a while and asked Yu Shao: "There are three questions, first, how can these two people be familiar with the layout of Gongshan Island, Nangong said that only a few people know about this trap, and they are all men's subordinates, how did the two women know, and what does it have to do with the Nangong family?" It's puzzling. Second, why did the person with the black mole in the corner of his eye die of 'Feng Xueling', and was thrown into the lake and rushed to the other side, it should be a person who has been dead for many days, if it was killed by those two women, with their kung fu, they should not need a hidden weapon, the murderer may not be theirs, so who is the murderer? Maybe there are hidden people on the island. Third, where did the young woman go? They are already together in Yixing, if they want to sneak into Gongshan Island again, they must come together, but last night we only saw one person, when they were in Yixing, they looked like a master-servant relationship, but they felt like a mother-daughter relationship, and the young woman should not leave only the old woman. ”
After Bai Mingyue finished speaking, Yu Shao and Nangong both felt that Bai Mingyue was really careful, and what she said was very reasonable. After listening to Bai Mingyue's question, Nangong became worried, now that the eldest brother is not there, the sister-in-law is a weak woman, so she can only be in charge of her own house. But the black mole servant who has been guarding the compound and is familiar with the terrain was inexplicably killed, but he used his own stolen secret weapon, and the person who stole the secret weapon came to the island several times, but he didn't even know how the chief was, and he couldn't mobilize the people to investigate the clansmen. Seeing Yu Shao coming and helping him clear up a lot of doubts, Nangong was grateful.
The sumptuous Taihu Lake dishes came up, Nangong took out the dusty good wine, although the mood was a little dull, but Yu Shao came, he must eat and drink well, and he did bear a lot of pressure during this time, and he also needed to borrow wine to kill his sorrows. Yu Shao and Bai Mingyue were already extremely hungry, they hadn't eaten a good meal since last night, looking at the table full of lake fresh, Yu Shao didn't wait for Nangong to open his mouth to eat, Yu Shao never pretended to be in front of his friends, and there was no need to say some polite words to a friend like Nangong. Bai Mingyue is sven, and she doesn't have anything to say, and she always looks cold and arrogant. Nangong is envious of Yu Shao's appearance of no sorrow, and there will be no big things that will overwhelm a person with Yu Shao's character, sincere and unrestrained, unlike himself who bears the name of a famous family, there is an invisible pressure that forces you to move forward. Nangong saw that Yu Shao was busy eating, so he poured himself a drink, and a few glasses of wine fell into his bowels, and he was already shaky, and his speech began to be rough. Yu Shao looked at Nangong and drunk, and also picked up the wine glass to get drunk with Nangong. They are all young and promising, strong-blooded teenagers, talking about their childhood, carefree, innocent, and so many troubles as soon as they grew up, the two of them cried and laughed and got drunk, and fell asleep on the table.
Bai Mingyue didn't pay much attention to their affairs, and her miserable life experience was not something that the previous two sons could understand, the only thing she felt happy about now was to love Yu Shao, and Yu Shao also loved her, if she didn't even have love, she really didn't know where to go, maybe it would be a hundred, but her sweetheart was right in front of you, so don't think too much about the future.
Bai Mingyue looked at Yu Shao stupidly. The subordinates of the Nangong family took away the dishes they had eaten, wiped the table clean, and left only the wine, maybe the two sons would wake up and drink. At this time, a beautiful young woman slowly walked from the inner hall, her hair was in a high bun, the lotus steps moved lightly, Chu Chu was moving, and there were all kinds of charms, a pair of big apricot eyes were watery, blinking as if she could speak, there was a touch of pink peach cheeks on her pink face, plump and slender body, walking up and swaying her hips, there was a natural charm. Bai Mingyue is conceited and beautiful, but seeing that this young woman is also ashamed, she is a stunner who can even move a woman, and the beautiful young woman greeted Bai Mingyue softly.
"Where did the girl come from, this son must be the young master Wang Ziyu that Ling'er often mentions." The words he said were all Wu Nong's soft words, which were extremely soft and charming.
Bai Mingyue politely got up and replied, "In Xia Bai Mingyue, He Yu Shao is a friend of Nangong, and he took the liberty to disturb you, Madame."
"Don't worry, girl, sit down." After speaking, he walked to Nangong's side, gently stroked his hair, and said to Bai Mingyue: "I am Ling'er's sister-in-law, why is Ling'er drunk today, he usually doesn't drink much, why did he cry and laugh too much with this son as soon as he came back."
"Young Master Nangong has not been doing things well outside during this time, and he is bored and relieved of his worries with his good friends." Bai Mingyue didn't say anything about Nangong's thoughts, for fear that his sister-in-law would worry.
Nangong's sister-in-law also sat down and spoke, "Nangong has lost his father since he was ten years old, I watched him grow up, he used to tell me everything, but now that he has grown up, he also has something on his mind, and it seems that he has an estrangement from me."
Bai Mingyue said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, Nangong has always taken you to heart, and when he was with us, he often mentioned that you were good to him, it may be that Nangong is now grown up, and he has some troublesome things in his heart and doesn't tell you, he is afraid that you will worry." ”
"You are very good at talking, I haven't chatted with anyone for a long time, this Nangong family is full of men, and there is no one to talk to, I am really happy to see you, how beautiful and decent, this son must be very happy with you." Nangong's sister-in-law is a person who has come over, and she can see at a glance that Bai Mingyue is infatuated with Yu Shao.
Bai Mingyue blushed, wanting to admit it but couldn't say it, Nangong's sister-in-law smiled, revealing a pair of small dimples, which added some charm. Bai Mingyue couldn't help but praise: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you are really beautiful, and you look like the world."
As a beauty, being praised by a woman, especially by another beauty, the vanity in the heart of the beauty is extremely arrogant, and Mrs. Nangong is of course extremely proud in her heart, but her face showed a melancholy color, and she said to Bai Mingyue faintly: "Beauty is like jade, but no one appreciates it in the mountains, who understands who is lonely and empty." After speaking, he got up and said goodbye to Bai Mingyue, and slowly walked back to the inner hall.
Of course, Bai Mingyue didn't know what it was like to be lonely and empty, she was full of happiness by Yu Shao's side, Nangong's sister-in-law's words stunned Bai Mingyue, and she stood in a daze for a long time, which was meaningful.
Soon there was a faint sound of the piano in the inner hall, like a song and crying, and Bai Mingyue, who listened to it, was tender and entangled in her heart, and her stomach was full of heartbreaks. Qin is the voice of the heart, although Bai Mingyue does not understand the rhythm of music, but listening to this sound of the piano will recall her own experiences, her parents are gone, she has no relatives and no reason, she is lonely, and she doesn't know where her home is. The sound struck the deep sore spot of the soul.
The yellow flowers are deep in the alleys, the red leaves are low, and the autumn sound is desolate.
The sound of bean rain came, and the sound of wind was carried in the middle.
At twenty-five o'clock, the door was opened, and the sound was not locked.
The old man is far away, ask who shakes the jade pendant, the bell at the bottom of the eaves? The sound of colorful horns blows the moon falls, and gradually the camp horses move, and the sound of the flutes rises.
Flashing adjacent lights, there is still the sound of anvils in front of the lights.
Knowing that he complained until dawn, he muttered and muttered, how many stings!
If the complaint is not over, divide half and share it with the sound of geese.
After listening to the song "Slow Voice" by Jiang Jie, a poetess of Yangxian in the Southern Song Dynasty. Autumn Sound", Bai Mingyue burst into tears.
Yu Shao woke up when he heard the sound of the piano, but he still closed his eyes and listened to the melodious sound of the piano, such a wonderful song must be played by a beautiful woman, Yu Shao also doesn't know what the taste of sorrow is, but you can also imagine the artistic conception of resentment. After opening his eyes, he saw Bai Mingyue burst into tears, and suddenly gave birth to infinite chivalrous tenderness, gently wiped away Bai Mingyue's tears with his sleeves, and asked softly: "Yue'er, are you okay?" ”
Bai Mingyue said "um", and desperately buried her face in Yu Shao's arms, shaking her head vigorously and rubbing Yu Shao's chest. Yu Shao hugged Bai Mingyue tightly and slammed his chin on the top of Mingyue's head. Nangong didn't wake up, maybe he was really drunk and tired, and he fell into a gentle sleep in the touch of his sister-in-law just now.
It's also good that there's no embarrassment on each other. Yu Shao pinched Bai Mingyue's crisp hand and walked to the back of the compound, there is an old bayberry tree in the inner courtyard, it takes a few people to hug it, a branch with the thickness of an arm stretched out from the tree, a swing is hung, and the rattan on the basket has been polished to shine, presumably the sister-in-law of the Nangong family often relaxes here and passes the time. Yu Shao picked Bai Mingyue up, stood behind and pushed the swing. Bai Mingyue had never sat down, swaying up and down, happily watching Yu Shao protect herself. The mood is back to the same as before, and the heart is like stopping water. The girl's inherent shyness also appeared on her face.
Nangong finally woke up.
Yu Shao and Bai Mingyue stopped and walked back to the hall, Yu Shao asked with concern: "Nangong, the wine is awake, and your body is fine." Nangong smiled and said: "People who practice martial arts are all iron bodies, sleep for a while, the spirit comes back, go, I will take you around and enjoy the lakes and mountains of Gongshan Island." ”
Seeing that Nangong was in good spirits, Yu Shao and Bai Mingyue were also in a better mood and followed Nangong around.
