Chinese New Year's Eve, on the banks of the river, the cold wind is shining, and the cold rain is shaking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is the time when the lights of thousands of homes are lit up and the family is reunited. The market on Wandu Street dispersed early, the vendors also withdrew their stalls early, and families were busy returning home to reunite with their wives and children for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The street was deserted, and in the distant sky, a firework rose from time to time, brilliant and fleeting, as if it had never appeared. The sound of firecrackers in this dripping rain also seems much lighter.

A small boat floated on the river, hidden and lonely, slowly rowing towards the ferry in the thick of the night.

Only the terrible sound of rain remained between heaven and earth, and as the boat approached, two figures appeared on the ferry.

"Third Master Xie, you can send it here."

"That'...... Take care of the girl in the future, remember, it is important to take care of your body first. ”

"I'm tired of the third master's concern, I'm fine now, and the third master doesn't have to worry anymore."

"That'll be fine." The man sighed heavily, "The old man and the girl have known each other once, although it has been less than two months, but the old body admires the girl's perseverance and courage. Now, there are few people who have come down from the battlefield, and the girl can still escape death like this, that is the will of God. From now on, ask for more blessings. ”

The woman under the grass shed by the riverside was dressed in black, with a long jade body, and her bright eyes were crystal clear and bright like stars. With a sword on her shoulder, her back was gloomy, the cuffs of her shirt were slightly wet by the rain, and in the cold rain and cold wind, her handsome eyes and eyebrows were trimmed, and her face was like frost.

Looking at the old man in front of her, she was silent for a long time, and the light under her eyes was gently turbulent and rippling. After pondering for a moment, he raised his gaze again and met the old man's gaze.

"The third master still refuses to tell me, how did I survive?"

When the old man heard this, he smiled lightly, stroked the beard under his chin, and said, "Girl, don't be embarrassed about the old body, the old body is entrusted by people and loyal to people." If you have promised others, how can you break your promise now? ”

After hearing this, the woman stopped talking, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, as if she brought out a wry smile, her eyes fell faintly, and she returned to calm and loneliness.

The sound of rain was murmuring all around, as if everything was submerged.

"It's not too early, so please go back, and it's a blessing to be the last to return home at the end of the year. It's hot to have a reunion dinner, and when I wake up tomorrow morning, the discomfort of a year will all disappear. ”

As he spoke, the old man took a step back, picked up the oars next to him, and made a gesture to go back.

The woman's eyes were raised, her gaze suddenly became alert, and at the same moment, she hugged her fists, bowed deeply, and made a long gesture at the old man.

The old man's footsteps paused slightly, his face loosened slightly, and after a moment of pause, he turned around and walked towards the boat.

Pushing the banks of the river, the oars are plucked, and the sound of the water is drenched. The small wooden boat in the thick of the night, in the bleak wind and cold rain, gradually left the riverbank.

The old man on the boat, dressed in a cloak, bowed his head and paddled, and did not look back again. In the heavy rain, his figure quickly blurred, shrunk, and finally condensed into a point, and disappeared from her sight forever.

The woman on the shore bowed for a long time, until her hands and feet were numb, and then she straightened up.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks filled the sky. The sky is colorful, bright as smoke, bright as day, shaking through Jiuzhou.

After a bustling hustle and bustle, silence returned to heaven and earth.

The dim lights on the grass hut are crumbling in the wind, like a small boat on the Yanbo River, which is nowhere to be found, sinking and not knowing where to go.

She stood still for a long time, feeling bored, not knowing why she was standing still, and she didn't know who she was waiting for. It's just that those feet refuse to leave, as if there is still unfinished work, waiting for her to cry and return.

Before the next firework went off, she took a stride and headed out into the street.

Along the way, he brought her back, and when he was wounded, he used a carriage, and after he was injured, he gave a horse to ride, crossing mountains and rivers along the way, boats and vehicles on land and water, walking with rain and snow, and being accompanied by wind and frost.

From Qiaojiang to Xizhou, this thousands of miles, if it weren't for this unknown Xie Sanye, she would still be in the forest, I am afraid that she still does not know where to go......

The doors of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and the candles were extinguished, and it was a long dark street. Only outside a few taverns, there are still three or two wind lanterns, emitting a faint light.

She paused and turned and walked into a tavern.

The only junior in the store turned around, with a burst of surprise on his face, as if he didn't expect that there would be customers coming in on such a night.

He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran over with a smile.

"What do you want?"

When I looked up, I saw that the woman's clothes were all wet, her hair was covered with green silk and rain, and under her black hair, there was a pale and thin face, detached and cold.

She glanced at him, took the sword off her back, and placed it on the corner of the table. Short, he sat down.

"Wine."

"The little one knows you want wine, but what do you want? How much? ”

"To be the best."

"The best wine? Ha, that's Manglu! Xiao Er saw that she didn't like to say anything, so he asked tentatively, "However, although this manglu wine is the best, the price is also very high, and it is the Spring Festival, which is the time of scarcity, and now the store is ......."

Before she finished speaking, she saw the woman's hand put on the table, and when she raised her hand, a handful of broken silver appeared on the table. Under the swaying of the wind lamp, there was a small light.

Xiao Er's voice froze, his eyes looked at the broken silver, and his heart beat a drum: This money is enough to buy two large altars. It seems that this woman is not short of silver taels in her hands, and I am afraid that she will get drunk here tonight...... But on this Chinese New Year's Eve, after two hours, he will also return home, if this woman is drunk here, or stays behind, what should he do?

Although he pondered, he did not hesitate to move, reached out and took the silver, and said "Okay, wait a minute!" He walked happily towards the counter.

When he was young, he brought a small jar of wine and put it on the table in Linluo.

Lin Luo's face did not move, as if he was settled, his eyes fell lightly in front of him, and he was silent. As soon as the jar fell, there was a short thud that brought her back to her senses.

And he stretched out his hand, and took the little altar, and took the glass of wine in one hand, and poured it into the cup.

Xiao Er retreated, and secretly thought, that Manglu wine is a very strong thing, seeing that she is alone, I want to persuade a few words kindly, but when I opened my mouth, my eyes suddenly glanced at her hand.

I saw that on the back of the hand, there was a glove made of animal fur entwined, and judging by its luster and texture, it seemed that it had been worn for a long time. I also saw that on the four fingers outside the leather case, some scars were slightly exposed, the scars were like a ghostly fire, cold and hideous, but with a trace of unique beauty, spreading out from the inside of the leather case.

Xiao Er swallowed his saliva, held back the words in his throat, and turned to leave.

The lights outside the door are flickering, and a wind lamp under the eaves illuminates the puddle of water on the ground faintly, flickering and flickering.

The curtains were slightly rolled, and the cool breeze carrying the rain penetrated through the doors and windows, and rushed into the heated room.

Lin Luo's body trembled slightly, as if he couldn't resist this chilling wind. Fortunately, she finally persevered, her body no longer trembling, and her right hand clenched the wine glass, and her fingers turned white.

The rain slowly dripped from her body, fell on the table and the ground, and instantly gathered into a small puddle.

She raised her glass and drank booze, not knowing whether it was for warmth or thirst, and the wine in the cup changed from one cup to another, one cup after another, and soon the bottom of the altar was revealed.

Two reds flew off his face, and the white was pink, and there was a hint of delicateness.

But in those eyes, there was still coldness, and the chill was layered and gushed out of the eyes.

Suddenly, she threw her hand away, the cup overturned, and the wine splashed. The left hand slammed down on the right shoulder, and a sharp pain came......
