Out of the north gate of Wuchang Mansion, take a boat along the river, that is, enter the boundary of Jiayu County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although this trip was on an official ship, according to Qiu Yinming's requirements, the accompanying guards were reduced. The weather was hot, and after the boat was sailed, Qiu Yinming asked a dozen or so entourages to rest in the pergola on the top of the ship, which allowed him to get a small gap and secretly introduced several people hidden in the car into the cabin. Chen Baisheng and Qiao San were still wearing iron shackles, but fortunately, Gao Ye carried several hidden weapons and small blades with him, and after trying for a while, he pried open the iron lock.

Chen and Qiao were grateful, kneeling down to thank them for saving their lives, and couldn't help but sigh at the sinister hearts of people. Speaking of Chen Xiaoyu scolding the ya, it turned out that she secretly followed her father into the city, but it happened that she was dragged to the governor's yamen by Gao Ye a few days ago, otherwise, the officers and soldiers would definitely go to encircle and suppress the remaining party in Feihu Village, and her life could not be guaranteed. Qiu Yinming asked about the future plans of the two, but Chen Baisheng still wanted to sneak back to Feihu Village to have a look. So, Qiu Yinming found an excuse to let the ship pause in a small port and let them slip ashore.

Gao Ye also changed to a land route in Jiayu County, and rushed back to Jingzhou all the way.

After rescuing Mr. Qi from the Qingliuhui Helm with Hengyu last time, they withdrew from Jingzhou City, crossed the river to Nanping Town, Gong'an County, and rented a manor outside the town. After the alliance leader and his entourage returned from Chunlin Villa, they saw that the waterways here were criss-cross and the transportation was convenient, so they settled down. In the past few days, the identity of the owner of Chunlin Villa has been repeatedly tested, but this owner of Zhu Zhuang is indeed not an ordinary person, and he is unmoved by coercion and temptation. Yang Zheng is captured and still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he can't do anything to Zhu Zhuang at present. Hengjing Zhao was thinking about exchanging hostages, but he didn't know much about Chunlin Villa, so it was better to send someone to investigate secretly when the owner of the village was the handle and the other party would not act rashly. But who is the best to arrange this time?

In the afternoon of this day, Gao Ye came back and first explained to Qi Mutian what happened in Wuchang Mansion, and then saw that it was still early, so he went to find Hengyu. Not far from the back door of the manor is a lake, and I heard that the eldest lady is practicing by the lake.

As the sun gets twilight, the heat subsides, and the closer you get to the lakeshore, the more mosquitoes and flies there are among the plants and trees, which is very annoying. Gao Ye lowered his head and kept using his sleeves to drive away flying insects, and walked quickly towards the open place by the water. Suddenly heard the sound of grass in front of him, and looked up to see that it was Heng Zining.

Gao Ye was nervous, stunned for a moment, and put his breath in his throat, wanting to greet her, but his tongue froze in his mouth.

Heng Zining also saw him from afar, and beckoned: "Xiao Gao, you come to find my sister, she is still there." ”

Gao Ye said, "Second Miss is good." ”

Heng Zining walked in front of him at this time, only to see two snow-white gardenias obliquely inserted on her sideburns, fragrant, and the dimples between her smiles were shallow, sweeter than the fragrance of flowers. Gao Ye lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into her eyes, and his heart was beating fast without obeying. Heng Zining didn't notice his face, and only said, "You go." And he passed by.

The fragrance of the gardenia dissipated for a long time, and Gao Ye secretly cursed himself, why he flinched so much every time he saw her, why he only dared to secretly stare at her figure from a distance.

The path out of the grass and trees is a shallow grassland, the sunset is magnificent, the lake is shining with bright light, and the constant rain on the shore is also dancing with a steel gun in the wind and rain, which makes people feel cool when they see it. Gao Ye sat down on a tree stump and watched her finish a set of marksmanship. After about a cup of tea, Hengyu put away his posture, wiped off the sweat on his face, and walked over and said, "Xiao Gao, when did you come back?" How did you go for so long? ”

"Just arrived. The man surnamed Qiu was thick-skinned, and relying on Mr. Qi's face, he asked me to help, accompany him to the government to rob the prison, and save his two friends in the green forest. I'm too embarrassed to say no. Seeing that Hengyu was still silent, he said: "I have never seen him such an official, while being friends with robbers, he is still thinking about how to climb the elite to get promoted to become rich." ”

Heng Yu also threw the sweaty hand towel to his chest and said, "Can you say a few words." ”

Gao Ye shrugged his shoulders, "By the way, I heard that the alliance leader raised the Zhu Zhuang master with good food and drink. How are you ready now? ”

"I was about to discuss something with you." Hengyu also said, "I want to tell my father, I'll go to Chunlin Villa to investigate." Would you like to go with me? ”

Gao Ye thought for a while and said, "It's okay." This is your sister, your martial arts are the best. The third senior brother and the fifth senior brother didn't say anything? ”

"This kind of thing, Du Yu will not take the initiative."

Gao Ye understands that she has always been at odds with the third senior brother Du Yu, for so many years, several of them have always agreed on the same thing, two by two, the fifth senior brother Shi Lei and Du Yu are fellow villagers, they have been close since childhood, and they have always acted together. So he promised, "Since you are going, of course I will go." ”

In fact, Heng Yu didn't tell him that she had this idea, and some of it was because of Heng Zining.

Not long ago, Heng Zining quietly came to her. The two sisters chatted casually for a while as usual, but she soon found out that Heng Zining was spitting and spitting today, and wanted to talk about it, so she twisted for a long time, and her face was red and white for a while. Thinking of the past few days, my sister seems to have something on her mind all the time, and she is always tired. Later, he finally couldn't help it, and Heng Zining suddenly said, I don't know if Yang Zheng was arrested by the old sect master of Chunlin Villa, whether he was in danger or suffering. Hengyu suddenly realized that his sister secretly liked Yang Zheng! This was unexpected. My sister is lively and cheerful, how can I just care about this indifferent and lifeless Yang Zheng. But this thing is always unknown, and no one can say clearly. Heng Zining saw that her sister understood what she meant, so she no longer concealed it, and the two talked softly by the lake for a long time. Hengyu also comforted her and said that her father was about to send someone to investigate, and she would go there in person to reassure her sister. Heng Zining said that he was much more relaxed, and he told him a thousand times, and he couldn't let anyone know, so he left.

On the evening of the same day, Heng Yu also told her father and Qi Mutian about her plan, Heng Jingzhao and Qi Mutian discussed for a while, and felt that there was indeed no better candidate for this secret investigation, so they agreed, and then carefully arranged and instructed her.

A day later, in the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Heng Yu and Gao Ye would board a small boat and go to Guizhou. Hengjing Zhao and Hengyu also walked to the river side by side, and said to her: "That old sect master's martial arts are very high, if you are empty-handed, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat him, you must be very careful." Hengyu also nodded and said, "I will." We try not to get hands on them. Heng Jingzhao said: "If you can't find anything in a short period of time, you will come back." Their owners will not dare to be presumptuous in our hands, and perhaps they will send someone to find them. ”

The boat was hired in the town. Many families in the prefectures and counties along the Yangtze River have boats, which carry passengers and goods and catch fish when they are busy. Hengyu also sat on a small sailboat with Gao Ye, the owner of the old man has been on the river for many years, and now he is old, only doing some scattered business, this time he went far, and the patron was surprisingly generous, so the old woman also got on the boat together, specializing in cooking rice and making tea. On the water, the boat moves slowly. The sky was overcast and sullen, there was no wind on the water in the morning, the boat was stable, and it was a little boring after a long time.

The day was long, and I sat on the bow of the boat to watch the scenery at night, Hengyu also held a cup of tea, reclined by the window of the cabin, listened to the waves of river water outside the ship, closed my eyes and recuperated. The shy and sad look that came to mind when Heng Zining told her about her heart the day before yesterday came to mind, and unconsciously, her thoughts drifted back to her teenage years.

Many things may only be buried deep in the bottom of the heart forever and slowly fade away.

When the ice of Zangjing Lake began to crumble, the Xuandu in early spring was still cold to the bone marrow. In the windless morning, if the sun penetrates the mist on the mountainside of Wucheng Peak, you can see that the frozen waterfall on the Luoying Cliff is oozing out drops of shining water, the tip of the nose is numb from the cold, and if you sniff it carefully, the breath of the moist earth under the ice and snow is refreshing. The spring grass in the wasteland outside the mountains should have broken through the ground silently. At this time of year, it is as if the hearts of the people have been revived from the long night.

I used to think that if there was a sound in reincarnation, it must be like the sound of ice falling on a cliff and shattering the ice on the surface of the lake and submerging into the water. The early spring is short, and inadvertently, the wildflowers on the cliff have bloomed sporadically. Flowers bloom in the same place every year, but the deceased does not know where they have gone. Childhood is like a dark winter night, and the faces that have passed away in the wind and snow have long been remembered. On the day when the last seven people officially became disciples of Xuandu, she walked behind the five senior brothers and stepped into the tall stone room. Xiao Gao was only seven years old, like a skinny monkey, trembling beside her. The stone room was full of weapons, which confused everyone's eyes, but in her eyes was only the cold spear standing in the corner of the wall. Walking straight away, holding the cold gun with both hands, I had a strange feeling in my heart, if it was with me for a lifetime, any bumps would be smoother.

At first, her father only came to visit her once a year, and he always came in the evening, sat for a while, chatted with his aunt, and brought some new tea and fresh fruits. At that time, she will be dressed up and sit next to him to drink a cup of butter tea. Her father hardly spoke to her, and only looked at her with a little tenderness when he left. When she was a child, she thought that the opportunity to see her father once a year was also a unique perk, just like being able to bathe in a wooden barrel soaked in unknown dried flowers and herbs, which was not enjoyed by her brothers and sisters. Later, when she heard the newcomer say that her father had already married a new lady and had given birth to a daughter, who were several years old and were the pearl of his palm, she felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden. And what really made her sad for a long time happened when she was twelve years old. That time, her father came to see her early, but she was brought a death row prisoner from a neighboring tribe. That night, after her father left, she soaked in the barrel for a long time, but no amount of washing could erase the smell of blood that lingered on the tip of her nose. Her father was so cruel that she begged him several times to let her do it from behind, but he insisted that she look at the prisoner's face. When the knife in her hand was withdrawn from the body that was passing rapidly, tears welled up in her eyes along with the gushing blood. Unable to see her father's expression clearly, she threw back the handkerchief he handed her and walked away without looking back. Later, I heard that the leader of the alliance stood alone in the stormy wilderness for a long time that day.

When you are confused, the best way is to climb over the cliff of Fuguang Ridge and go to the other side of the mountain to find your uncle. How many lakes there are in Xuandu, no one has counted, the Tibetan legend who went into the mountains to graze, there are 360 lakes here, but since the establishment of Xuandu, more than 300 years, there are only about 20 names. Sansheng Lake, where Shi Bo lives, is one of the most beautiful lakes in Xuandu, green and clear when the sky is clear, still mild dark green when the storm is stormy, and the most beautiful after the snow, like a clear and transparent gem. It's a pity that Uncle Shi himself can't see it. One day, the sunset burned in the sky, and a faint water vapor floated on the surface of Sansheng Lake, and the light and shadow were psychedelic. Sitting by the lake, she asked her uncle how long the road to the next life would be if there was an afterlife. Uncle Shi said that there is no difference between life and death, there is no difference between distance and proximity, and if there is an obstacle in the heart, this life is the next life, and if there is no obstacle, it does not matter the next life. In the year of his death, golden snow lotus flowers bloomed by the lake.

A day of mayflies, a summer of mountain flowers, a maximum of a hundred years of life, compared to the mountains and rivers of the world, is not just an instant. Pain is like ice on a cliff, although the winter is long, it will eventually pass. Before the next winter arrives, spring will make people forget about the long ice for a while. People grow up quickly, and the scene in their eyes changes imperceptibly.

It's spring again, and the flowers all over the mountains are blooming all over the valley unscrupulously, bright and open. Wearing the freshly washed clothes, the cold wind blew from the mouth of the wolf's tooth valley and poured into her sleeves, bringing a burst of floral fragrance and making people uneasy. This was the third time she had pretended to pass by unintentionally, just to meet the boy by chance on the way. But the result was the same, he came from a distance, nodded shallow to her, and then walked away briskly, without saying a word.

The entrance to the Wolf's Tooth Valley can also be seen on the cliff of Fuguang Ridge. That summer, she would often go to pick some herbs, and if there was no rain or snow, she would sit on the cliff for a while, wait for the young man in green clothes to come out of the mouth of the valley, and then watch him walk away slowly. She herself couldn't remember, but one day she suddenly began to pay attention to the fourth senior brother, maybe it was the way he danced the knife, maybe it was his usual indifferent expression, or maybe it was his carelessness in chewing grass stems when listening to the master's internal strength and mental method, which made this silent young man enter her heart. But there has never been anyone in his eyes, which makes people so helpless.

Could this be considered a tacit understanding between sisters?

I remember the first time I met Zining, she was a little girl who was being kidnapped by the rebel leader. It was he who rescued her with his own hands and tied her behind her to fight her way out of the encirclement. That day, Zining had been quiet. In the evening, the group returned victorious, and the people were sleepy, and she was soaked in blood. I only remember that Zi Ning walked over gently, holding clean clothes in her hands, and smiled gently at her with a little timidity, which made her heart feel warm. I didn't expect my sister, who I had never met, to be very cute. However, maybe it's the change in her father that makes her sister love her no matter what.

The secret love for Yang Zheng did not last long, and in the autumn of the fourteenth year, his father suddenly took him away as a personal attendant. She was indeed lost for a while, but when she saw Yang Zheng again the next year, she was relieved. In her memory, every time Xuandu goes from winter to spring, it seems that it can transform and rebirth.
