142. People are in the rivers and lakes
When the little beggar saw that it was her, he ran away like a frightened rabbit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Cheng Linghui was just happy because he found a place to build a granary, and he was childlike for a while, and wanted to tease the little beggar to play. Seeing that he was really scared away by himself, he immediately laughed 'haha'.
She was raised as a boy since she was a child, and she always couldn't remember the reserved nature of women. This smile immediately attracted the sideways glances of passers-by. Cheng Linghui doesn't care, anyway, no one here knows him.
She looked around and saw a small head not far away. It's the little guy who was with Ah Nian before. Cheng Linghui walked over in a few steps and lifted him out: "Why don't you run away when you see me?" ”
This little beggar was much thinner than Ah Nian, and looked like he was only four or five years old. Although he was lifted up by Cheng Linghui, he shrunk like a ball. Cheng Linghui asked him, but he didn't speak.
Cheng Linghui knew that these children were actually very bold. He took a few steps and threw him on a high stack of goods. Tilting his head to look at him: "The cry is good, I will let you go." ”
The little beggar stared at a pair of dark eyes and shouted without hesitation, "Hello, auntie." ”
Cheng Linghui was originally teasing him, but when she heard this, she was stunned, and she couldn't imagine that she would become an aunt now. No matter how rough a woman is, she has an eternally girlish heart. Cheng Linghui's high mood suddenly fell. He took out a few copper coins and threw them to the little beggar, turned around and left. It doesn't matter how the little beggar gets off the pile of goods.
I went back to the inn and ate a bite to eat, and then went into my room. As soon as he closed his eyes, Chang Jiwen's face shook in front of him. Chang Jiming is seven years older than Cheng Linghui, but that face is about the same as when he was in his twenties, and it is whiter than her. She herself is now an aunt, and he is still a flower that attracts bees and butterflies.
Cheng Linghui tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. I don't know how long it took, and I didn't know where I was in a daze. It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers. She tentatively called out a few times: "Jiwen, Jiwen ......" There was no echo.
Suddenly there was a little fire in the distance. The flame jumped twice, and suddenly rose into the sky. The fire lit up half of the sky, and Cheng Linghui saw clearly that it was a village courtyard that was on fire. The strange thing is that the whole village only heard the sound of the fire and peeling away, and there was no half of the people who fled, nor did they see the people who put out the fire.
Cheng Linghui was surprised, and suddenly saw the fire suddenly extinguished, but in an instant, it jumped up. The flames turned an eerie blue-green, giving off this eerie aura. There were shadows in the firelight, as if there were figures walking.
Cheng Linghui stared at the Hokage with wide eyes, but couldn't see clearly. I could only shout: "It's on fire, don't run yet." ”
The figures in the Hokage suddenly brushed together and were half shorter. Cheng Linghui took a lot of effort to see clearly that those figures were actually kneeling to his side. He was kneeling and worshipping, and all of a sudden, everything in front of him was gone.
Cheng Linghui opened her eyes and realized that she had just had a dream. probably heard about Lu Jiawu during the day, and thought about it day and night.
The room was pitch black, and the beating of the fourth watch drum could be heard in the distance. I know it's still early in the morning. Close your eyes and go back to sleep.
When I woke up, I thought about the scene in the dream, and I felt that there was a certain number in the dark. If you want to build a granary on other people's land, you must always pay a serious respect. Although no one can tell whether the things of ghosts and gods are true or false, they must not be disrespectful. At the moment, I asked the inn's junior to buy a lot of incense, candles, paper money, and three sacrifices. A big cart full of them. I didn't go to the wharf, but went to Lujiawu along the bank of the canal.
Halfway through, the coachman heard that he was going to Lujiawu, and he refused to move forward with anything. Cheng Linghui is easy to say, and it is also useful. This was a stalemate, and suddenly I heard a hearty laugh from the side of the road. This scared the coachman's soul away. I don't want the car, I just turn around and run.
A man jumped out of the woods, and several of them tossed and fell in front of the coachman, wearing a hideous mask on their faces, and said, "I'm not a monster, what are you afraid of?" As he spoke, he threw a piece of silver into the coachman's arms: "This is the money for the carriage." ”
The coachman is just an ordinary person, who has never seen a high-ranking Jianghu person. I was so frightened that I ran away with the silver in my arms.
Cheng Linghui watched the coachman run away and said to the man: "What are you scaring him for?" ”
The man lifted the mask from his face, revealing a handsome face. The two sword eyebrows raised: "How do you know it's me?" ”
Cheng Linghui was speechless, he could be fooled by wearing a mask, unless he was a fool.
"You really want to go to Lujiawu to pay respects." The man sat sideways on the wheelbar.
Cheng Linghui pulled the reins and sat on the other side and asked, "Why are you here?" Is the Cao Gang idle? ”
The man smiled: "Worried about family affairs so soon?" ”
Cheng Linghui felt that when she talked to this person, it was a chicken and a duck. I just didn't speak. Later, a granary was built here, and it was necessary to deal with him. If he wants to follow, he can follow.
The road to Lujiawu has not been traveled for 30 years, and it has been submerged in the barren forest. Some of the trees that grew later were all hugging their thickness. Cheng Linghui expected that the road to there would not be easy, but he did not expect that the climate in this land south of the Yangtze River was warm and very suitable for the growth of trees. For thirty years, I couldn't find a way to go.
Cheng Linghui had no choice but to turn back to the river. Fortunately, the self-proclaimed young gang leader of the Cao Gang has been following, otherwise Cheng Linghui would definitely not be able to hire a boat.
When they arrived at Lujiawu, the two brought incense, candles, paper money, and three animal sacrifices ashore. Cheng Linghui turned the paper money, and there were words in his mouth, and he told his origin and purpose in one go.
The man stood aside and suddenly said strangely, "What did you say your name was?" Cheng Mozhi? ”
Grandma used to say that you should always have a sense of reverence for ghosts and gods. Cheng Linghui was worshipping, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him, and after saying those words, he was about to bow to the ground three times. The incense candle that had just knelt down suddenly burst open, and the burning paper silk was suddenly extinguished. Cheng Linghui didn't care, and got up to start anew. As soon as his knees hit the ground, the newly lit incense candles burst again. Several times in a row, Cheng Linghui secretly scolded the owner of the incense candle shop for being black-hearted. A little awe, all tossed, and no kowtow. Re-lit the incense candles, squatted on the ground and burned all the paper silks together.
This time, the paper silk was very cheerful. In a while, the effort burned out. The incense candle also burned very smoothly.
When she was done, the man asked, "Who are you?" ”
Cheng Linghui said: "Kaizhou Mansion Cheng Mozhi. ”
The man: "But there is a brother? ”
Cheng Linghui suddenly said: "Are you treating me as someone else?" I don't have a brother. ”
"That's Senior Brother."
Cheng Linghui said: "My family's martial arts have no senior brother. ”
"Impossible." The man said: "I know a person who has exactly the same number of martial arts paths as you. ”
Cheng Linghui pondered, about the past of the fifth master, the older generation is very secretive, and Cheng Linghui's father's generation can't say clearly. Cheng Linghui didn't hear the fifth master say that there were other senior brothers.
The man said, "If you don't believe me, I'll bring him out to you." ”
Cheng Linghui was really a little curious in her heart, but when she thought of the fifth master, she remembered his teachings. The fifth master often said that curiosity kills cats. Let a sleeping dog lie. It doesn't matter who that person is, it doesn't get in the way of him anyway. She still has peace of mind to make a living on her own and live a down-to-earth life. Shaking his head at the moment, he said, "That's not necessary." Suddenly I remembered something: "I don't know what to call you yet?" ”
The man then remembered that the two had not reported their lives, and said: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Qian." There are many abruptness, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Cheng Linghui returned the salute: "Don't dare." My surname is Cheng, and the word is silent. often walks on the river, and in the future, he will rely on the young helper to take care of him. ”
Zhang Qian said: "Meeting is fate, and we will be friends in the future." Don't say more about those polite words. But......" He looked at Cheng Linghui with flashing eyes: "Are you really Cheng Mozhi?" ”
Cheng Linghui said: "What are you lying to do?" ”
Zhang Qian said: "I'm just curious, the Cheng Mozhi I know is a high-spirited man, why did he suddenly become a woman?" ”
Cheng Linghui thought of something and smiled: "This woman becomes a man, and it is not uncommon for a man to change from a man to a woman. There are also people who pretend to be my wife and force me to get on the boat with a knife. "It's said that Zhang Qian was hunted down and killed, and the man disguised as a woman.
Zhang Qian lowered his head and smiled, a rare little shy: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." ”
