thirty-nine

The road is narrow and the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew stains my clothes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is not a pity to stain the clothes, but the wish is not violated.

Thou shalt know what I will.

At the end of the basil, like a jade gentleman, sighing slowly, I wish it would be difficult to disobey my heart.

The name Qiuxin Xiaoya is not good, although it occupies the most unique terrain of this Confucian town, and the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea are all outstanding, but everyone is looking for a comfortable place, seeing the word "sorrow", the interest of relieving Yi has to be less than two points.

I heard that the owner's family did it on purpose, and he is probably a strange person.

After the time, it should have been the time when the night market was booming, but it had rained a few heavy rains in the past few days, and the ground was muddy.

The small shops on the street are lazy and lazy, and the individual customers who play the tip sit in a daze, Weishui is like silk, and drag out five or six luxurious and elegant brilliant hugging houses, and the little two families have nothing to do, so they are lazy against the wall, but they are not as lively as a few full-term children.

The south side of Baoxia is very quiet, the bucket arches are staggered, and the four characters of Liao Ting Huaxu are hung under the water corridor of the pool hall, and the top is a small building separated separately, the place of distinguished guests.

Distinguished guests lived for a few days, temporarily resting, and did not know where to go, the store has broad knowledge, recognized one of them, good life tidy up the private room, invited the guests on both sides to go out, only to leave them quiet, naturally do not dare to collect the axe.

The other guest was a new face, the shop had never seen it, weak and old, handsome, and extremely gentle, which made people feel good at a glance, so they guessed that it was a new apprentice, and they did not dare to slack off, and they also cleaned up an upper room nearby.

I heard that the apprentice cultivates to be close to nature, and he has to go out two or three times in the future, not for anything else, just to leave some impressions of the famous places everywhere, which is not in vain.

Today, the owner of the shop passed by here with his friend, and came to visit the distinguished customer, and the apprentice went out at noon and has not returned, and the distinguished customer is not worried.

Before long, the shopkeeper heard the voice of the little second brother outside the door, "Childe, you can come back late today, look at the wicker in your hand...... Didn't you stumble over a girl from a certain family? ”

I only heard the boy smile, "If there is really a girl who favors her, Yanwen is afraid that she can't hide." ”

The little second brother also smiled when he heard this, and asked with great interest, "What, is it possible that the son has an early intention?" Or do you already have a wife and children at home? If not, I can introduce you to one or two, the eldest lady in the east of the city......"

It's okay in front, this sentence is over, the store quietly tidied up his clothes, this son is indeed easy to talk, but there are some things, no matter how good the person is, he will avoid it, don't ask if it's rude. But before the store walked out of the door, the boy had already politely refused, and his speech was quite funny, "Little second brother, don't harm me, there is a fierce god in the family, how dare Yanwen have two hearts?" ”

"Vicious?"

"Yes, the evil spirit."

The shopkeeper shook his head, glared at the little second brother who was shrunk in the corner, held his hand and smiled at Childe, "Has Childe ever had dinner?" If it hasn't been used yet, the little old man will send someone to the room immediately, okay? ”

The boy shrugged his shoulders at the second brother to show his helplessness, "Then there will be labor." ”

"No, yes, please."

This son is Shi Yanwen, and his guest is naturally that person - the head of the six strings.

Now that it is the end of the year, they have left the city of Fudong, and they have been traveling around the famous mountains and rivers for three months, going to the mountains and seas, and occasionally crossing the small bridges and flowing waters.

If you go to the high mountains, no matter how steep they are, don't do the exercises, don't take shortcuts, climb to the top step by step, stand in the wind in the clouds roaring, and see the mountains at a glance. If you cross the deep sea, the wind and waves are still indomitable, and you still use a flat boat, which hangs straight to the clouds and sails to the sea.

There are deep mountains and old forests that are quiet and uninhabited, there are smoke willow painting bridges that are refreshing and dust-free, and there are water purification and xiaming Champs Song Terrace, which is happy to be free among the water and clouds. As for the hazy and dusk, sometimes the curtain is on the ground, and sometimes it is a high pillow and soft seat, and the end is the fairy wind bone, and it follows the fate.

The Taoist deliberately took him to relax, and concealed all the news that Qu Shitu sent intentionally or unintentionally, and Shi Yanwen never took the initiative to ask.

Shi Yanwen didn't know that on that lake, the blue sky and the blue water, he was in a good mood to see it, and he couldn't help but joke, "Looking for wine, stroking the qin and flowers, burning incense and tasting tea, listening to the rain and the moon, the string head, only one thing is needed to appreciate the snow, and the ancients are all nine elegances." ”

The Taoist immortal figure is ethereal, standing on the bamboo raft in the smoke and rain, and responding softly, "In this case, I will go to enjoy the snow." ”

In this way, they are going to the northern region to enjoy the snow. They should have been the first to enjoy the snow, but the Taoist thought about the snow, and the scenery of the ice and snow often led to loneliness, so they pushed it to the end.

I heard that there are holy relics in the Northern Regions, Shi Yanwen can also stop by to take a look, if it can come in handy, Shi Yanwen doesn't have to watch the bright moonlight all day long in front of his eyes and lament the rise and fall.

Speaking of which, he also spoke to another person......

-- I've heard that there is often snow in the northern regions that stretches for thousands of miles, and there are few people in the snow, so if I have the chance, I want to go and see it.

Tut.

The big dream is my first realization, but fortunately the feelings are not deep.

But he looked at the lantern on the covered bridge today, saying that it had flowed from the previous town, and dyed the river purple and red, and he was fascinated for a while, and wasted a lot of time, and he needed to sing the first chord to be safe when he came back.

The lantern in the small building is still on, the flickering candle flame of the Danying carved is a little dim, and there is a flickering light in the corner, which is about to be extinguished. Shi Yanwen thought that there were other people on this floor, and there were many hidden places around the corner, so it was not good to extinguish them, so he casually took a brighter lamp and exchanged it with it, hung it high on the silver hook, and stared at it for a while.

Looking back, two of them were standing at the top of the stairs looking at him, silent, unable to see the whole picture, and one of them nodded at him in a friendly manner.

Shi Yanwen hesitated for a moment, returned the salute slightly before leaving, and did not step forward.

He walked all the way to the Taoist's room, and before he could knock on the door, the Taoist had already said, "Come in." ”

"Xianshou," Shi Yanwen pushed open the door with a smile, Dao Renguo stood by the window, and he stuck the wicker on the windowsill, "Xianshou, Yanwen has brought you a gift back." ”

There was still water vapor on the willow leaves, as if they had just been plucked, and the Taoist reached out and touched the willow leaves lightly, sighing, "Last night to remove the cold for the bright moonlight, I woke up at noon, you should have a good rest." ”

Shi Yanwen blinked, and the expression on his face suddenly became more lively and clever of a teenager, half swallowing and half spitting, "But it was raining a few days ago, and it was easy to clear up today......

I wronged him.

Rao is Taoist has always been cold, and he couldn't help but feel emotional, and he actually hooked a shallow smile, turned his head and swept over the few strands of white hair, and his eyes fell on the face that was too young, "Now, the strength has calmed down?" ”

"Half a day of heaven and earth nourishment is enough."

"Where's the moonlight?"

"He is more energetic than Yanwen, so he must be staying by the bridge to enjoy the fire trees and silver flowers at the moment." Shi Yanwen said, as if he was smiling patiently, and with a little melancholy, "He seems to have taken a fancy to a girl, but he can't bear to leave more than me, but it's a pity that ......"

It's a pity that yin and yang are separated.

The Taoist naturally understood, he took off the wicker and was silent for a long time, "We will leave tomorrow." ”

On another day, Shi Yanwen got up early in the morning.

He first went to the covered bridge, the willow trees next to the covered bridge were half overturned, and the bright and magnificent river lanterns of various colors at night were also blown into a ball by the water, and the bright moonlight floated on the pile of river lanterns. Seeing Shi Yanwen coming, her eyes were full of tears, "Senior, I'm out of love." ”

"......" Shi Yanwen sighed at his short-lived crush, and felt that the child seemed to be more and more dependent on him, "Where did you find out?" ”

Hao Yueguang was even more sad when she heard this, and pointed to the inn opposite, "She went in with a man, and she ...... That's it...... Very happy. ”

Shi Yanwen's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Did you listen to the corner of the wall?" ”

"It's not!" Hao Yueguang's face changed greatly, he only Shi Yanwen hated this matter, and quickly explained, but he didn't dare to be sad, he just blindly aggrieved, "I wanted to know her name, so I took a look at it when they registered in the account, and it was written on it...... Couple. ”

Shi Yanwen looked at him seriously a few times, and then changed the topic, "You have stayed here all night, you can see where you can rent a boat, if it is a larger one, it is better, and it is okay to be smaller." ”

Hao Yueguang secretly said fortunately, carefully squinted Shi Yanwen's eyes, and saw that there was no anger, so he floated to his side with confidence, looked left and right, and beckoned across the bridge, "Senior, here!" ”

There happened to be a ferry, but it was blocked by the bridge and was a little hidden, so Shi Yanwen rented a Wupeng there, and the boatman was a middle-aged man, and he was good at talking. When they arrived at the Weishui estuary in front of Qiuxin Xiaoya, they picked up the Taoist, and the two went on the road.

The Taoist is still the same, meditating on the bow of the boat, not moving in the wind and rain, while Shi Yanwen tries his best to get close to nature and cultivate his "way of nature".

They had grown accustomed to the silence for two months, but the hospitable shipkeeper had not.

The two people he saw were one of them floating out of the dust, and the other was dressed in white, both of them were rare characters in the downtown area, and they always wanted to talk about a few words, but they were honest and simple and didn't know how to speak, for fear of offense.

His gaze was so hot that he even hesitated to breathe, Shi Yanwen naturally noticed that the boat family had the heart to talk, but he was really not a quiet person.

"Boatman, I always like to look into the water when I see you holding the boat, but what's the point?"

The boatman laughed honestly, and finally had something to say, "Where is it exquisite, but there are a lot of undercurrents in our area, and there are water snakes in some places, so you must pay attention at any time to avoid the water dragon turning over, in case you are accidentally swept in, it will be worth the loss!" ”

"Oh?" Shi Yanwen turned his head to look at the bottom of the water, in fact, he could guess from the clusters of water pods on the shore that in such a deep environment, it was not surprising that some spirits would be born, "There is no one else on this line, if the boatman falls into the water, will he be afraid?" ”

"What are you afraid of, we are also working on the boat, and we are also experienced, a few more times into the water, even if there are water snakes, we are not afraid. I'm afraid that you will fall into the water, it's okay to save one person, but it's hard to save two people. ”

"Ha, it's stupid for Yanwen to ask."

"Where," the boatman glanced at the Taoist, "this is your brother?" ”

Shi Yanwen was stunned for a moment and looked at the Taoist, "Yes, he is my brother, and my brother is not good at words, so he doesn't talk much, the boat family...... Good eyesight. ”

The boatman shook his head, "Where is good eyesight, it's just that I carried a few people yesterday, and they are just like you." One sits cross-legged and doesn't speak, and the other is as handsome as you, but he is not in good health, and he is a young man who loves to talk. They also brought a coffin, saying that it was Fuling and returning to his hometown. At that time, I was the only one on the ferry, and they were still worried that I would not carry people, in fact, where are there so many taboos? ”

"The boatman is open-minded, and he thinks so." Shi Yanwen sighed.

"You are also an understanding person," the boatman rubbed his shoulders and patted the bamboo pole twice, "How can I say it, on the Wei River, there were many people who understood, but they understood too much, and they were confused." ”

Shi Yanwen was silent, and suddenly said, "The boat family is also a person with a story. ”

"Hey, I don't have any stories, just live my life and leave some memories in the rice, oil and salt."

Shi Yanwen opened her mouth and chuckled, having nothing to say. But the Taoist opened his mouth, "It's enough to have a memory." ”

Seeing that the people who had never spoken had spoken, the boatman became more interested, "No, anyway, it will end up being dusty and dusty." ”

Shi Yanwen's fellow Taoists glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing, "Xiantou, this boat, Yanwen doesn't want to get off." ”

The boatman smiled, a little embarrassed, "It's boring to sit idle, there are still two hours until the next ferry, if you don't mind, how about I yell at you?" ”

"The boatman is so interested, we should listen to it."

"It's good not to dislike the scattered tunes on the lips of the people."

The bamboo pulp broke the calm, sparkling vast water, the captain opened the wine bag and poured two sips, laughed heartily, and the rough voice sounded on the lake, and the simple man even sang the lyrics that Shi Yanwen admired the most, far-reaching and melodious, resounding in all directions.

Hey, the sunset goes into the sea, and people return home.

I can't finish picking up the ears of wheat in the field.

The lady smiled and scolded and listened carefully.

Who made me be, the old man in the family.

Hey......

When the sun sets over the sea, people return home......

The basil swayed with the water waves, and the autumn mangs and bamboo ropes on both sides of the strait were surging, which reminded Shi Yanwen of a poem-

Today is the day of home in the four seas, so the base is Xiao Xiao Lu Diqiu.

Talking and laughing, two hours passed in a flash, and Shi Yanwen and the Taoist got off the boat at the ferry under the snow mountain.

"Boatman, I'm tired of sending it away."

"Yes," the boatman shook his hand with bamboo pulp, "There are still dozens of miles of mountain roads in front of you to reach the Northern Snow Mountain, it's better for you to find an inn to live in today, I will come here in ten days, if you have a fate, I will take you back!" Half the fare! ”

"Ha, ten days later, we will be waiting for the boat again."

"Okay!"

The Northern Regions have a reputation for murder, and the living environment is relatively harsh, so they stop and go, even if Feihong walks on the snow, it takes half an hour. No matter how beautiful the snow is, I don't have the heart to appreciate it, and I saw a few fierce and ruthless things in the middle, and most of the people I saw were unpleasant, and even the inn was so special.

"I'm a bitter inn." Hao Yueguang stared at the plaque that fell to the ground word by word, Hugh said that the store was boring without decoration, just talking about the boss's thief's eyes that were rolling around, and ten out of ten smiling tigers, which is this to run an inn, I'm afraid it's not a robbery station, right?

Shi Yanwen also looked at the potholed ground a little speechlessly, which was very different from the carved beam painting pavilion he lived in before, and said meaningfully, "Boss, can you live in this store?" ”

"Yes, yes! Of course you can," the boss is only in his thirties, his heart is beating at this moment, looking at his style, and feeling that it is the complaint of the son who can't bear the hardships, he immediately smiled, secretly cold, but his face was silent, "Do you two live in one, or do you divide it into two?" ”

There is only one inn for him in these ten miles and eight villages, where else can he live here? It can't be said that he has the idea of being the only one, and when he stays, he can't let him rub and fiddle.

Shi Yanwen seemed to be smiling, looking around and sighing, "There are so many pits on the ground...... Brother, let's stay in one room. ”

The Taoist didn't know where his eyes stopped, and he didn't make a sound, Shi Yanwen only took him by default, took out the silver taels and threw them to the boss, "Then please lead the way." ”

The boss's eyes wandered around the two of them, and he nodded again and again, "Okay, I just have the last room left here, please follow me upstairs." ”

"Brother," Shi Yanwen whispered as he passed by the Taoist, "Yanwen hasn't met a black shop in at least thirty years......

Listening to the excitement in his words, the Taoist glanced at the sword marks left in the dark part of the wall, and stood in place for a long time, "Yanwen." ”

"Huh?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let it be. ”

"Huh?" Shi Yanwen stood on the stairs and turned his head, the Taoist was a little far away from him, the wind outside was loud, as if it was going to snow heavily, and the voice was a little inaudible, so he had to ask aloud, "What is my brother talking about?" I didn't hear you. ”

"None."

The Taoist turned around and stepped onto the second floor, and his calm appearance made the long-awaited boss feel uneasy, "Come, two, this is your room, if you need anything, just say hello." ”

Shi Yanwen nodded, although the faΓ§ade of this small shop is ugly, and there are no rules for keeping people safe, but the guest rooms are still more or less presentable, the beds and screens are ready, and the bedding is optional. He looked at it again and said to the boss, "Then I'll wait for the boss here." ”

"Wait for me?" The boss was stunned.

Shi Yanwen blinked, "Wait for you to bring the tea." ”

"Ah, uh...... Haha, you see how I forgot this stubble, let you see the smile, wait a minute, I'll go prepare tea. With that, he withdrew while wiping his cold sweat.

When the footsteps disappeared from the stairs, Shi Yanwen chuckled at the Taoist, "Xianshou, can you let Yanwen play tonight?" ”

The Taoist saw that he was full of interest, so he chose one of the beds to meditate, but he really gave birth to some brothers, "Don't go too far." ”

"Yanwen knows."

The Taoist closed his eyes, "...... You can keep calling me brother. ”

Shi Yanwen touched his nose, his eyes were shining, "Yanwen knows." ”

On the moon, the wind and snow were blowing, and the tea sent, Shi Yanwen sniffed it and put it in his hand, woke up the bright moonlight of Maitreya Buddha in mid-air, quietly pushed open the door, swept up the beam and waited.

After a while, seeing the two children dressed in black and covered in black, the boss walked out of the small door under the stairs with a serious face, "It's finally our turn to get rich in this little shop, children!" This is our first business, and we can't mess it up! ”

The eyes of the two little evils lit up, and they looked like they were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and immediately echoed in a loud voice, "You can't mess it up!" Can't mess it up! ”

The boss nodded, "That's right! That's what you want! ”

"Momentum! Momentum! ”

"The two saints of Confucius and Mencius bless, the rations for the next half a month will depend on these two fat sheep!"

"Fat sheep! Fat sheep! ”

"......" Hao Yueguang had a strange face, "Seniors, are they not good at brains?" "I'm afraid that the dead pigs will wake up so loudly, right?

Shi Yanwen shook the teapot at him, "They probably think that the drug that fascinates rats and the drug that fascinate people are the same." "It's not a great evil, at least it doesn't use poison, and it doesn't have the intention of harming people's lives.

The two of them were speechless, when they saw the boss step on the table, his sleeve rolled up on his arm, and a very bright little mushroom fell, "Very good!" So what do we do next? ”

"Robbery! Robbery! ”

"Wrong!" The boss glared at them, "We are robbing the rich and helping the poor!" ”

The two children didn't understand what he said, so they were stunned, and continued to shout, "Rob the rich and help the poor!" Rob the rich and help the poor! ”

The boss stared at the two children, and the soldiers were on the verge of battle, "You! Go and search for their money. You! Went and stripped them of their clothes. ”

Shi Yanwen and Hao Yueguang were stunned, and the two children were also stunned, "Pick up clothes? ”

"Stupid," the boss was so angry that his nose was furious, "if you don't pick up your clothes, where can I find fabric to make clothes for you to survive the winter?" ”

"Oh, that's right...... Good! Pick up your clothes! Pick up your clothes! ”

Shi Yanwen looked at them as if they didn't pick up their clothes and didn't give up, the corners of their mouths twitched, and for a long time, they smiled, "Pick up clothes? ”

Looking below, the oath was over, and the three of them immediately sneaked upstairs. Shi Yanwen smiled at the corner of her mouth, broke off a small wooden block from the beam, saw the place where the boss landed and threw it, only to hear a click, and the stairs that were barely able to walk were broken into two.

The boss suddenly stepped into the air, and half of his left leg was stuck in the stairs when he boarded, his posture was not very elegant, and he estimated that he had hit a dangerous place, his face was purple, and the next moment he was blue and red, and the whole person froze in place.

The two children saw that the person in front of them suddenly became half shorter, and when they lowered their heads, they were frightened by the complicated face, and they all shouted, "Daddy! Don't die! ”

Although the child is not very old, he has developed a lot of strength to steal chickens and dogs, and he stuck his neck left and right, making the boss roll his eyes, "Who...... Who died! Alas! This staircase...... Damn......"

Shi Yanwen didn't expect this change in this hand, and Hao Yueguang looked at each other, and laughed awkwardly.

The boss asked the two children to get out of the way, struggled to climb up the stairs, and continued upstairs with a strange inner figure. This time, Shi Yanwen had experience, so she didn't throw anything, but took the teapot and learned the appearance of the bright moonlight, and flew behind several people very quickly, and by the way, she rolled up a gust of yin wind.

The boss noticed that something was wrong, and casually looked back, not wanting a white veil to meet him, and a pair of eyes were staring at him with compassion.

Many people died in this small shop, whether it was the owner who was killed by the bandits in the first generation, or the bandits who occupied this place later, or the Xiaoxiao who was robbed one after another after being snubbed by the bandits, they all died very miserably, especially the owners of the previous generation, I heard that they were still buried by a few people with coffins, and there was not even a whole corpse.

Where there are many dead people, it is normal to have ghosts.

But the boss didn't think so much for a while, in fact, he didn't think about anything, just reflexively pressed the two children to the ground, and then reacted, his face was like ashes, and his legs were fighting.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the hell!! ”

The two children were stunned for a moment, and then cried again, "Ghost! Hey, Niang! ”

"Shut up!" Shi Yanwen didn't expect this person to be so frightened, and remembered the advice of the Taoist before meditating, his head grew up for a while, and he reflexively whispered, "Don't cry!" Otherwise, I will eat you! ”

The crying stopped.

The crying resumed.

"The ugly ghost is going to eat people!!"

Shi Yanwen stroked his forehead.
