Chapter 06: The Goshawk's Pupil

Shaohua is far away from spring, and looking back at the prime minister is far away.

The morning and dusk are chaotic after a long time of rain, and the boat is short and long.

The morning air also contains the humidity of the night.

And the plants in the forest collectively glow with new vitality.

Even the sunlight shining on the body seems to come from a different round of the sun than yesterday.

Deep in the shady forest, the wind shuttles briskly through the verdant greenery, and a small lonely mound, carrying moss, sleeps quietly here.

The two pieces of wood were simply tied with rope to form a cross, but they were erected in front of the grave.

There are no words left on it, but it seems that you can hear it, and the breeze seems to be telling you something.

A wreath made of small unknown mountain flowers, hanging from a wooden cross, swaying in the wind.

It's like a young girl, wearing a beautiful necklace, watching her lover leave.

And a man in Tsing Yi, in her eyes, walked away step by step.

He took up his longbow and put on his hood.

In the firm parting, he looked back and was nostalgic.

With the scent of flowers, the wind swept past his one eye.

She likes to call him "Duoduo", and today, everyone is used to calling him "Hawkeye".

A goshawk flies towards the rising sun, and the whole forest looks like a golden ocean from the sky.

It leans down, transforms into the wind, and deftly weaves through the branches.

Spin, glide, flap your wings.

Beyond a dense foliage, a cyan figure also shuttled through the jungle.

It's as if this figure is the transformation of the eagle.

He rested on a tall tree, which was the edge of the forest.

From here, you can overlook the entire Luoyang City.

Today, he decided to leave the forest.

This mountain forest, which has lived for many years, is as familiar as your own backyard.

Re-immerse yourself in this jungle of palaces, temples, bazaars and houses.

Because he needed to see a few people.

Hawkeye thought in her heart, it was estimated that it would not be long before she would definitely come back here to accompany her again.

"When I'm done with everything and come back here again, that's when I'll be by your side forever." His heart mourned silently, as if there was an invisible companion by his side.

It seems that this time, I can't listen to Lao Yao.

Who is Lao Yao?

I guess it's a neighbor.

A wild man who lives in the mountains also has neighbors?

Then tell me: What should a person who lives on the same mountain be called?

Lao Yao is a hunter, but the game he caught is not enough for him to stuff his teeth. In the days when he couldn't fight anything, he used the other machete on his waist to beat firewood, and went to Luoyang City under the mountain as a woodcutter to exchange a few copper coins for a pot of wine to drink.

So he was not only a neighbor, but also an important source of intelligence.

But everyone knows that the machete is not used for chopping wood, and of course, it is not used for hunting.

It's very sharp, and the part of the blade that is folded back is all open on all four sides.

It's like a weapon that was born to kill people and overhaul goods.

Well, in this era of continuous war, knives are a good thing.

Before Hawkeye settled in this forest, Lao Yao had been engaged in this seemingly "promising" career, but in fact "promising".

Later, you ask?

Later, his knife, unlucky, met my bow.

Later, he became a hunter, a woodcutter, and a soothsayer when he met me occasionally.

I saw him today.

When I said goodbye to him and explained why I was leaving, he gave me a hexagram.

"It's not me saying, it's a lot of luck to go down the mountain this time!"

The old guy really put on the face of a person who came over, and spoke seriously.

"I have my reasons." I don't think it's necessary for him to know too much, to help, and to point fingers.

"Behold, this fire has crossed the ecliptic. The Fireman, the Heart of the Serpent and Scorpion, the Zodiac, the Emperor. ”

"And then?"

"And then a ghost! Is it so obvious that you still don't understand? ”

When it comes to astrology, this old guy always has a set, I know a ghost.

Seeing that I was indifferent, Lao Yao couldn't hold back a little: "This is an omen of chaos in the world again, it is not appropriate for you to go down the mountain now." ”

But I had a reason to go: "What? You can't trust me? ”

"How dare you? But you've always heard the phrase "the trend of the times and the destiny of heaven can't be violated", right? In this world, many times people can't change it. ”

He saw that I was still sorting out my bow and arrows, packing my bags, and said, "I have learned your skills, and I dare not say anything, but there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people you don't know about people's hearts, do you have to go down the mountain?" ”

"Hmm." I just nodded silently.

Seeing that I had no intention of repenting at all, he had no choice but to change his words: "I really don't understand: what made you jump into the fire pit so decisively." ”

It all started with the sudden arrival of the dawn of the mysterious visitor!

At dawn, before dawn, I dragged my tired shell all night and just pushed the door in.

Take off your hood and cloak and hang them on the wall, take off your bow and quiver, sit down on the bed, raise the bamboo tube in your hand, and drink the cool spring water inside.

This is a small thatched hut in the mountains, a very secret stronghold.

I heard a bewitching woman's voice outside the door:

"I can't imagine that the dignified Heluo hero would succumb to such a place."

Since he was waiting here unnoticed, but he didn't lay a trap for me, it seems that the comer has something to say.

"Since you're here, why don't you show up? I'll also prepare some coarse tea for hospitality. ”

There was no human figure, and a wisp of green smoke drifted in first.

I was busy wetting my mask and covering my mouth and nose.

"Don't worry, I'm just ordinary tobacco." Pushing the door and twisting in, a bewitching figure.

A slender copper cigarette stick is very eye-catching.

Behind the woman, she was closely followed by a green-clothed maid.

"Coming from afar, it's finally worth waiting for you to show up!"

I didn't even notice that this woman was able to control her breath freely, and it seemed that she was not a good person.

"Since you know my details, please introduce yourself, everyone knows each other." I smiled faintly.

"To show my sincerity, I'll introduce myself first." The woman entered the room, and her slender hand stroked the old tabletop. "My sister's name is Da Xibing, and she is from Guannei."

Although the furnishings in the house are old, they are spotlessly cleaned, which makes her quite impressed.

"Miss Nadaxi, what are you looking for me?" Ming people don't say dark words, they came all the way here, they must not be here to check hygiene, right?

"That person will come to Luoyang in the near future." Da Xibing found a position facing me and sat down, beckoning the maid behind him to replace the pipe with new tobacco. "I don't need you to look for her, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"The girl came all the way to me, it wouldn't be just to ventilate the news, right?" In front of him is a personal essence, and it is impossible to be without benefits.

Da Xibing chuckled: "The benefits are naturally there, you take your share, I take mine, mutual benefit and win-win!" ”

"How do you know I'm going to help you?"

"You can choose not to help me, let me say first: even if you don't do it, I can get what I want. It's just ......"

"Just?"

"It's just that the time is not lost, you are a hunter, and the truth knows better than me." After changing to a new tobacco, Da Xibing took a puff and spit out a puff of cigarette on the maid's fire fold. "What I'm doing is just to get what I want, to gather the strength of all parties and remove the obstacles."

To put such a big thing lightly, it seems that this woman is more complicated than it seems.

"How did you know my information?" I don't think Lao Yao will betray me.

"Naturally, I have my means, and maybe you will learn more about it in the future." The woman finished her last mouthful, did not linger, and got up to leave. "You need time to clean up, my sister won't bother and delay, and I wish the heroes and martial arts prosperity and success."

It seems that the other party knows more than I can imagine, and I can't pick up any words now, so I can only watch her take the maid and drift away.

"Oh yes, don't forget to tell you, when you meet a young man in black and a girl who makes a whip, please raise your noble hand, it's your own person." Before pushing the door, she suddenly turned her head and added.

When the little thatched hut was quiet again, the early morning birdsong could be heard outside the window.

It was as if the arrival of the woman just now was a dream that had never happened in reality.

Only the smell of tobacco in the house can prove that the mysterious woman just now has indeed come.

When the environment and mood calmed down, I touched a hidden mechanism at the head of the bed, and a dark compartment popped up from under the bed.

Carefully remove a velvet wrap from the inside.

The high-end velvet looks out of place with the quaint surroundings.

It opens, revealing a half-truncated arrow.

The dried blood on the arrowhead seemed to be bright yesterday.

The right hand stroked the blindfold, and there was a hollow feeling from the fingertips, as if there was a nameless hole somewhere in the heart.

The remnant arrow is depicted with a rose motif.

I clutched the package wrapped in the arrowhead, my fingernails clasped into my palms.

So in the end, I decided to find the original owner of this arrow - Hu Luguang, the "Governor of the Falling Eagle".

The world is big and big, but it's small and small. Some things can't be avoided after all.

That's fate.

Lao Yao is still chattering about his theory of the operation of stars, and I, having already made a decision, are too lazy to reason with him.

"After I'm gone, you can't go back to your old job. Silver taels should also be saved. "I'm only concerned with three chapters of the law with him." Oh yes, and thatched huts have to be cleaned regularly. ”

Farewell Lao Yao, before leaving, I still want to pay homage to my beloved wife.

"I'm leaving, and I finally decided to make a clean break with the past." After offering the wreath, I poured water instead of wine and poured the spring from the bamboo tube in front of her grave. "The next time we meet, I can stay here with you, and never leave again."

"So, wait until I get back."

Hawkeye lifts up his hood.

————————————

The next morning, Hawkeye found a team of people passing through the east gate of Luoyang, and after a little inquiry, he could know that it was the big man of the Wenxi Pei family who was going to enter the city, which gave him the opportunity to mix the door card.

At noon, Hawkeye had already entered Luoyang first.

My stomach is empty, so I have to eat a full meal before making the next move.

It just so happened that there was an inn in front of me where you could eat, and Eagle Eye looked up: the four big characters on the big plaque of "Fuyuan Inn" were shining with golden light.

I went in and sat down in a corner, and ordered a bowl of noodle soup, a plate of peanuts, and a small plate of rabbit meat.

The noodles and peanuts are wafting with a long-lost aroma, but unfortunately the meat is a little worse, far inferior to Lao Yao's barbecue skills.

There were also people in the store who said books, and Hawkeye also listened to them with great interest.

Telling your own story?

Take a closer look at the storyteller, isn't this Uncle Lu who was robbed outside the city the year before last and almost lost the title deed?

After the excerpt, the old uncle's only daughter, Lu Kutao, came down to collect the money, took a look at Hawkeye, recognized him, and opened her mouth wide in surprise.

This girl hasn't seen her for a year, but she is also slim and generous.

Hurriedly gesturing to her to keep quiet, she smiled and put down a silver ingot into the copper plate.

We are still high and long, goodbye to the rivers and lakes!

Seeing the bitter peach, it triggered the inspiration in my brain: when my beloved wife was still alive, there was a girlfriend named Dugu Lianxin, and her family lived in Luoyang City.

Maybe if you look for her, you'll be able to get some intelligence clues and other help.

Without further ado, do what comes to mind.

Hawkeye got up and left.

When I go out, I feel a pair of eyes watching from behind.

This situation is also common, don't look back first, so as not to startle the snake.

Walking out of the inn, it felt like no one was following me. Maybe the other party has just become suspicious, and since he has already escaped, there is no need to investigate it in detail.

was going out and bumped into the slave of the Pei family breaking in, although he was worried about the Lu family's father and daughter, he could only leave first, otherwise he would turn back, which would be easy to make people suspicious.

It's still important to find Dugu Lian's heart first.
