From that time on, my father's visits became more frequent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lintao Mansion to Xuandu is thousands of miles away, sometimes, he will come day and night, stay for two days, carefully accompany her for a walk, talk. Before, she didn't trust her father at all and almost disdained him, but she slowly discovered that this ruthless alliance leader also had an invisible side. The two would often sit side by side by the waterhole at the top of the Luoying Cliff, and the father sometimes talked a lot, chattering to her about his troubles and helplessness, far or near, and sometimes he didn't say a word, looking at the reflection in the waterhole in a daze, and listening to her play a few songs. The eagle bone flute was given by my father, and I heard that my mother played a good flute when she was alive, and my father accidentally got this rare eagle bone flute, and before she could give it to her mother, she passed away. According to my aunt, my mother is gentle and elegant, proficient in the rhythm of the Central Plains, and can play ancient songs.

What kind of person is a mother? It must be very different from my aunt. Since she was a child, her aunt has been very strict with her, walking, sitting and lying, and immediately correcting her if she is a little casual and wanton, and she can't even laugh loudly. Later, when I got used to it, I no longer hated her seriousness and rigidity, but sympathized with her. My aunt lost her husband and children at an early age, even if the idea of coming to Xuandu was mostly out of her selfishness, but it was nothing for a lonely woman. Many times when her aunt was helping her comb her hair, she secretly saw in the mirror the faint warmth on her aunt's unsmiling face.

When she was fifteen years old, her father sent her many expensive gifts to celebrate her coming-of-age. The real birthday is in the first month of the snow, so this grand family feast will not be held until the summer. I remember that day my aunt combed her hair in a nice bun, and she couldn't wait to unfold the red dress that was stacked on the table. Since I was a child, I have always dressed about the same as my brothers and sisters, and I never thought that there were such beautiful clothes in the world. After dressing up, she turned around in front of the mirror, and her aunt suddenly said that her mother's expression when she was happy was very similar to her now.

Hearing this, her heart moved, maybe in her father's eyes, she had unconsciously become another person. When I was a child, I vaguely heard my subordinates chewing their tongues and saying that when Mrs. died, the leader of the alliance was very disgusted with her in infancy and resented her for taking her mother's life, so he sent her away and ignored her. It turns out that when she grew up, she was very much like her mother, no wonder sometimes when her father stared at her silently, his eyes seemed to pass through her and gather in the void behind her, but that look was deep and pitiful.

My father has been a little old in recent years, and he may have done too much life and death in the past, and Ren is heart is like a stone and can't withstand the erosion of time. I once heard him say that he regretted what he did back then, but now Fang Jue, the glory and rights are all in vain, and they are empty in a blink of an eye. But once you set foot on this road, you can't turn back. The front of the people commands the heroes, but the people behind them are tired of sleeping and eating, and they are often full of troubles and cannot live all day. For some reason, looking at her father like this, she seemed to feel that she had suddenly grown up, and everything behind her father was about to fall on her shoulders.

It's Mr. Qi, who is really a smart person. The big thing doesn't come out, and the thing goes away. Everyone has their own ambitions, Mr. Qi is just a person who can see clearly, and after living in a willing place, he can withdraw when the time comes, and he must be unwilling to be a father. And what about herself? I only know that I have a responsibility, but I never know what to ask for, and I don't even understand it.

When I closed my eyes and thought about it, I had already wandered into the world, and I didn't even notice the sudden change in the sky outside the boat.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew the half-rolled bamboo curtain straight to the window frame, and Gao Ye lifted the curtain and said: "How can you say that it will change this day." ”

Hengyu still opened his eyes, leaned out and looked out the window, the sky was yellow and dark, the low clouds were hanging wild, the gray river was rising with the wind and waves, and the boat was also bumpy. Seeing that the cool breeze is getting sharper, it seems that heavy rain is coming.

The old man said fairly: "Girl, there is going to be a thunderstorm, and the front is Jiangkoudu, you must go to avoid the rain, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave until tomorrow morning." ”

Hengyu also said: "It doesn't matter. You know this place, we just listen to you. ”

Originally, this Jiangkou ferry is a large gathering outside Zhijiang County, because the river is wide and horizontal, and it is located in the middle of Jingzhou Mansion and Yiling Prefecture, the merchant and passenger ships coming and going between the two places mostly stop here for a while, hit the tip or stay in the hotel. There are also many ferries to and from Zhijiang and Songzi counties, which are located in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and there are restaurants and tea shops crowded together in a small street in the riverside market town, and there are also many itinerant vendors selling peanuts, melon seeds, candied fruits and other snacks. Today is even more lively, many ships come to take shelter from the rain, there are many masts by the dock, and people are noisy.

As soon as I landed, thunder rumbled overhead, and after a few moments, heavy rain poured down.

The rain was so fast that for a while the water and the sky were colorful, and the rain outside the curtain was like a string of beads, blocking people's vision. The sultry heat is poured out by the rain, and the water vapor is cool and pleasant. The old lady of the boat family bought some fresh fruits from the wharf vendor, and Hengyu and Gao Ye sat in front of the window chatting, peeling lotus canopy while vaguely looking at the various people on the boat next to them. I don't know how long it took, seeing that the sky was getting late, the rain was stopped, and Jiang Tian was clear and clean, so comfortable. The old lady of the boat family came in and asked, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”

Hengyu also looked out and said, "After sitting on the boat for a day, I want to go out for a walk." Xiao Gao, why don't we go to the market for dinner, and we don't have to trouble the boatman. ”

Gao Ye smiled: "I wanted to go to the shore to join in the fun, but I was afraid that you would be noisy." ”

It is said that the two abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and went to the market, the store lit up the lanterns one after another, and the sound of talking and laughing in the store came and went, and many of the shops had Xiao Er at the door of the shop to solicit business diligently, and it seemed that the business was prosperous, and he couldn't make up his mind which one to enter, and suddenly heard a little two at the door and said loudly: "Today we have Mr. Cai in our store to tell the story!" The first mouth in a hundred miles! The latest legends, strange stories, only this day-"

When Gao Ye heard this, he became interested and said, "Sister, it's better to go and listen to the story." It's rare. ”

Hengyu was also curious, nodded in agreement, and happily entered the store. There are more than a dozen square tables of different sizes in a compact row in the hall, and there are two or three empty seats, and the two of them are seated at a small square table against the wall. At this time, Mr. Cai, the storyteller, was already sitting in front of the desk, his eyebrows fluttering, and he was gradually getting better, and the diners listened attentively and did not speak much to each other. The runner came to serve tea, and Gao Ye asked him, "What book are you talking about today?" ”

Ran Tang smiled: "Guest officer, you have come to the right place today." This is not an old book, it is a real story. The recent grievances in the rivers and lakes, the West Sea Alliance and the Qingliu Society, it sounds good! ”

Gao Ye and Hengyu also glanced at each other, smiled silently, ordered some food and sent Xiao Er away, and listened carefully to what Mr. Cai said. Mr.'s Hubei dialect sounds a little difficult, but he can roughly understand it. At this time, I only heard him say: "Everyone looked at it, this Rakshasa woman was seven feet tall, her eyes were like copper bells, and she held a two-point steel spear in her hand, falling from the sky, and in an instant, she knocked down eight big men!" ”

Gao Ye had just drunk half a sip of tea and almost squirted out, but he finally swallowed it, and looked at Hengyu and smiled. Hengyu also said in a low voice: "What are you laughing at, this kind of storytelling is the best at making things up." Gao Ye finally put away his smiling face, and said: "This time the Qingliu will suffer a big loss, I don't know what the black and white Dao on the ground think." Hengyu also said: "Father, he always likes to do things so publicly, and now everyone is against us." Originally, the matter of cleaning up the portal was secretly sent to do it, but it was necessary to make it known to everyone. Gao Ye seemed to be a little disapproving, and said: "According to me, it has been more than 20 years since Xihaimeng left the Central Plains, and it is nothing to publicize it. Besides, none of these people are our opponents. There was nothing wrong with the Qingliu Society, but it was destroyed in the hands of this Tianyi. ”

He suddenly thought of something again, and said, "By the way, Qiu Yinming told me that the Qingliu Society is also attached to Chunlin Villa." Now that the beam has been concluded inexplicably, it seems that the business of this iron mine will not be successful. ”

Hengyu also said: "There will always be someone to take over the mine, let's talk about it after a while." Anyway, the workshop hasn't been built yet. My father made up his mind to move the headquarters this time, and the project was huge, and he couldn't be in a hurry. The last time I heard Mr. Qi say that he used to know a craftsman who was proficient in firearms manufacturing, and that person was still a thief, and a few years ago he had the audacity to steal Sima Xin's master, the head of the living Buddha of Songdu, and later fled to the Central Plains and disappeared. A few days ago, Sima Xin and Mr. Qi said that they had found that person, and they lived on Taimur Mountain, and they actually founded a 'thief gate'. Very rich. ”

Gao Ye heard it and said with a smile: "Skilled craftsmen, it is reasonable to be special." Last time, the alliance leader dug up a few old masters from the Shenji camp of the Beijing Division, and I heard that they were not small in temper. ”

The two were talking in a whisper when they heard someone shouting at a nearby table, "Hey, storyteller." You're talking too much nonsense, who knows if it's true or not. Let's hear it by name and surname. Before Mr. Cai could reply, someone below echoed him. Mr. Cai shook his head and muttered to himself: "People in small places are really uninformed. He didn't care, he slapped the sandalwood board and continued: "Then let's talk about another matter." Friends who have passed by Jingmen County recently must have seen the notice issued by the county government, offering a reward for the arrest of the thief He Dacheng, and the notice has been posted for a long time. Do you know who this He Dacheng is? You must have heard of it, famous in central Hubei, Dahongshan Sansi Academy, and the name of Zixia monk Lu Changqing. This He Dacheng is the eldest disciple of Zixia Jushi, known as the 'Jingshan Hero'! ……”

Heng Yu also looked around with Gao Ye a few times, and the diners seemed to be satisfied with what they heard. Hengyu also said to Gao Ye: "I feel funny when I think of that Zixia monk. Gao Ye smiled lightly and nodded: "He is a leading figure, the last time he fought outside Xiangyang City, he was really the first to speak, and he was magnificent." Actually, the skills are not bad. But for some reason, when I really fought, I slipped away faster than anyone else. ”

At this time, I only heard Mr. Cai saying: "This Guo Qianhu is rampant in the township, occupying people's fields, a month ago, He Daxia passed by, saw the injustice, and came to the door to theorize." Where was Guo Qianhu willing to listen, gathered all the family members, and surrounded He Daxia with a long stick. But where are these people He Daxia's opponents, they were beaten so hard that they couldn't get up in a few rounds. That Guo Qianhu also received a good beating, which was very happy. After a moment of conversation, he said: "But who knows, Guo Qianhu still has a big backer." Who is it? It turns out that Guo Qianhu has a sister, who is the wife of the master of the Xue family in Luoyang Mansion, Henan. This Xue family is extraordinary, famous in the rivers and lakes, known as the Golden Knife Family. Master Xue has a well-known name in the Central Plains martial arts. Guo Qianhu suffered a big loss, so he went to Luoyang Mansion to complain to his brother-in-law. Master Xue was indiscriminate, but he said that his brothers were bullied, so he sent his eldest son and the chief housekeeper to come to He Daxia to ask for the guilt. ”

Gao Ye snorted lightly and said, "Isn't this talking about Xue Changshan?" This storyteller knows a lot. Oh, by the way, the Xue family's martial arts are really not very good. I guess, they still can't beat that He Daxia. ”

"The Xue family is not a good person, and many of the Sima Xin family's properties are still said to be occupied by them." Hengyu also said, "According to Sima Xin's temper, I didn't even trouble him." It can be seen that the things in this martial arts cannot be solved by force alone. ”

Listening to Mr. Cai's continuation: "He Daxia really lives up to his reputation, the seventy-two ways of picking up stars and swordsmanship, the moves are sharp, the clouds and rain are overturned, the wind is impermeable, and the head of the Xue family is losing and retreating, and he is about to be unable to parry." It's too late, it's fast, just listen to a scolding, everyone sees a flower in front of them, and only one person floats in. ”
