Chapter Fifty-Five: There Is No City in the Chest

Bai Yanqiu, who carried the coffin into Beihu, came back, and the old and young masters of the entire Taikang City welcomed them, of course, there were many young girls, who were spicy and waved ribbons on the street, and the shy ones hid in the private room on the upper floor of the workshop to probe their brains.

This piece of Xishuiguan is composed of many square buildings, wine shops and teahouses, sound, color, dance and music, everything is complete. Now the doors and windows of the square building are wide open, all kinds of musical instruments are ringing in unison, mixed with singing in the meantime, there are more jugglers on both sides of the road to climb the pole and lean on, and the city is full of jewels in the eyes, a beautiful and prosperous scene.

Lingwu Hou has always been affectionate and righteous, and he has helped the various mansions in Taikang, and when the mansions are stiff, they all let the Lingwu Hou Mansion be the guarantor and make peace. In this generation of brothers, the two Lingwu Hou are loyal and benevolent, and they never thought that good people would not live long, and now there is a lone seedling left in the huge Hou Mansion, this kid is really a kind, carrying the coffin and going out to fight, he is not afraid that their Bai family will be extinct.

Based on this, there is no one in the entire Taikang City who does not give him a thumbs up.

Listening to the city guard, I didn't see his coffin, presumably it was left in Shuofang City, from the gate of Xishuiguan City to Lingwu Houfu less than five miles away, the people who heard the news gathered more and more, the slap snapped, there were heartfelt congratulations, there were those who comforted the old people, there were those who were envious, there were those who were jealous, and there were those who hated their teeth itching.

"Bai Yanqiu, good job!"

"Bai Yanqiu, it's a gentleman!"

"Bai Yanqiu, I don't want you."

Shenguang once opened up to the people, heroic and graceful, but men and women strictly abide by etiquette, and Meng Lang's frivolous words like today are really rare.

Bai Yanqiu's ears were filled with all kinds of sounds, all of which were automatically filtered out by him. His eyes were set on the home in the distance, there was not only the majestic and gorgeous Hou Mansion at home, but also the martial arts arena that carried his childhood memories.

Closer to the hometown is more timid, just five miles of road, actually walked for an hour, this grand occasion is comparable to the original champion on the street, which shows the high prestige of Bai Yanqiu, after this battle, his popularity is close to the eight horses, Lingwu Houfu and the mansions of Chili Street, the status is even more transcendent.

Cui Hanzhang didn't go to join in the fun, he could imagine that Bai Yanqiu, who was sitting on horseback, was miserable in his heart.

From then on, he had to bear the affairs of Lingwu Houfu alone. He is no longer the little marquis who hides behind his father and uncle and makes waves, the ancestral foundation, the family worship incense, the imperial court military aircraft, etc., the open and secret battles, and the collusion of interests need to be faced by him alone.

Bai Yanqiu sat on horseback, was surrounded by everyone and walked home, and saw his mother and aunt standing at the door of the Hou Mansion from a distance, the closer to home, the more he couldn't control the urgency, and he was a little timid in the urgency, Bai Yanqiu felt that the days from the Beihu battlefield to the Taikang Houfu were suddenly a dream, Taikang City has not changed, and the Lingwu Houfu has not changed, only he has changed, counting on his fingers, he is already the fourth generation of Lingwu Hou, hereditary replacement, uncle died and nephew succeeded, Taishi Lou has been recorded in the book.

Several female relatives of the Hou Mansion were anxiously waiting at the door, because of their identity, they could only wait here, and they saw Bai Yanqiu coming from a distance, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion saw that the only grandson finally came back alive, and walked down the steps without regard to etiquette, Bai Yanqiu saw his grandmother trembling and walking to meet him, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and ran over after turning over and dismounting the horse in three or two steps, hugging the old lady, followed by the mother, aunt and other female relatives who came forward The stone hanging in their hearts finally landed, and couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears.

"Grandma, my grandson came back alive, and my grandson didn't disgrace Lingwu Houfu." Bai Yanqiu knelt on one knee, raised his head and said stubbornly.

"Good, good, good, our Bai family's children and grandchildren are all good." Looking at the tears in the corners of Bai Yanqiu's eyes, Rao is an old lady who has read all the vicissitudes of life, and there is also a feeling of vicissitudes in his heart.

"My son, you're finally back." Mrs. Bai stroked her son's emaciated face, and the stubble in her mouth grew wildly, and when she saw the scar on his forehead, she couldn't help crying anymore.

This cry seemed to ignite the sad atmosphere in the air, and all the female relatives of the Hou Mansion were not forbearing, they all cried out, as if they were crying out of the fear of the past six months, and cried out of the grievances in their chests.

After Bai Yanqiu appeased his grandmother and the others, he turned around and hugged his fists to thank everyone: "Thank you to the old and young masters for taking care of the Hou Mansion, and Yanqiu will come to the door one by one to thank you another day." Before the words fell, a loud applause broke out again in the crowd.

There are such joys and sorrows in Taikang City every day, the war is ruthless, human life is the cheapest, how many people can come back alive like Bai Yanqiu without missing arms and legs?

There are no ifs in life, only results and consequences. How many more graves will be added outside the city after this battle? One year old and one withered, and the grave grass was also a foot high......

.........................................................................................

Cui Hanzhang wandered around the streets and alleys of Taikang City, stepping on the bluestone slabs, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, his mind was extremely quiet, and his heart was also steady.

It's better to meet by chance, and at this time he actually saw Bai Yanqiu, who was still heroic during the day. This guy is not good at reuniting with his relatives in the Hou Mansion, and he actually went to this poor house and alley in a small wine shop to play drunk, Bai Yanqiu, who opened his teeth and claws, shouted at the street wine shop like a child at this time, Cui Hanzhang couldn't help but think of a sentence: "People without a city are like jade."

"Share a table and borrow a bowl of wine to drink." Cui Hanzhang was not polite, pulled a stool from the side, sat down, picked up the wine and drank it.

"Things in this world, that's it, the more you want to do both, the more you don't have both." Bai Yanqiu grabbed the wine bottle and poured it up, and said vaguely.

In fact, when Cui Hanzhang first appeared at the corner of the alley, he had already swept it out of the corner of his eye, and they were all people who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and who didn't know who.

"If you can make a sound, it is not a dead knot." Cui Hanzhang took a sip of wine gently, then clasped his fingers with his hands, hugged the back of his head, leaned back, one foot was on the other, and his toes were buckled on the small wine table, gently floating, looking like Pu Wei who was crooked by the wind from a distance, but he just didn't fall.

"What about you? When it comes to other people's affairs, why can't you let go of yourself? Bai Yanqiu didn't raise his head, and asked while lying in the wine jar.

"The sadness that is secretly hidden, even if you grind it carefully, even if it is crushed into dust with the work of water milling, it will eventually accumulate and explode to hurt others and yourself." Bai Yanqiu narrowed his eyes and stared at Cui Hanzhang when he said this.

Cui Hanzhang smiled slightly, looking at this red-faced first-class Lingwu heir, only the cold wind was whimpering on the street.

"Hahahaha......"

"Hahahaha......"

The two of them looked at each other quietly, and they didn't know when they both burst into laughter, laughing back and forth, tears flowing from the corners of their eyes,

"Bang ......"

The two of them each grabbed the wine jar in front of them and touched them together, and then grabbed the mouth of the altar with one hand and raised their heads to pour wine.

"Goo, goo.........

"I heard that Yun Lan is about to move all the supplements in his palace to your Little Lotus Village, and as a result, you have sent them back again and again with your strength, brother, I admire you who are not afraid of death, you cow." Bai Yanqiu poked out his head in the middle of drinking, and Meng Lang teased him.

Cui Hanzhang stuck his head into the wine jar and pretended not to hear it.

The knots that cannot be untied during the day can only be slowly consumed at night. Two frustrated people, a broken wine table. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang............

Bai Yanqiu couldn't forget the first night in Gabu Lake Ranch, he looked at this vast water area and lost his mind, it was this body of water that buried the 80,000 soldiers of Shenguang, his uncle, and even the prestige accumulated by three generations of Lingwuhou.

"Whoosh." "Whoosh." Just as he was losing his mind, two cold arrows came from the night, less than twenty paces away from him in the blink of an eye.

"Childe be careful." Bai Wuxian pounced on him, grabbed him and rolled to the ground. Bai Yanqiu escaped, and waited until everyone reacted and rushed over to find out the sneak attacker, only to find out that the Beihu soldiers had committed suicide, and the fish that slipped through the net when cleaning the battlefield actually lay in the pile of dead bodies and endured until this moment, intending to assassinate the big man in the Shenguang Army.

"If it weren't for Wuwu blocking those two arrows for me, our Bai family would really be dead, and the two fools of uncle and nephew died in Gabu Lake, how many people in Taikang City would wake up laughing when they dreamed?"

"I guess all the ugly things will be made up by then, saying that the people of the Bai family have long brains and don't have long memories, one is more brainless than the other, and the uncle and nephew are actually planted in the same place."

"It's a pity that our eldest son Bai didn't let them get their way, for the sake of Bai Wuwu, I did this altar." Cui Hanzhang's tears of laughter came out.

"But have you ever thought about it, if you really hang up in Gabu Lake, how can the war on the entire Western Front continue? How should King Pingkang lead his troops? "Just because you don't say a lot of things doesn't mean it's meaningless, and once you say them, it's actually hurtful.

"The ugly parents are the parents of Yanqiu, and the sisters of the innocent are the sisters of Yanqiu, I am ready to buy this alley." Bai Yanqiu looked up at the night sky and said to himself.

"Your family's money is too Beidou, and it will be moldy if you don't use it in the warehouse, so you can make it hard."

"Don't say that you bought this alley, I believe that you just bought this block, but can this alley be exchanged for Bai Wuxuan? Can you reduce the pain of the white-haired person to the black-haired person by all? ”

"I have nothing but yellow and white pickles, nothing ........."

In this way, two poor people who escaped from the Beihu War in the small wine shop in the alley talked foolishly and drank until dawn............

Everyone has a mountain in their hearts, and most people walk around the mountain, climb to the top of the mountain and look outside, so that they can have a chance to come out.

There is always some helplessness in the world, the second ancestor of the wealthy families in the city, some are born like a fish in water, the mind is at ease, so that the call is as natural as eating and drinking, and some people are born awkward, the more they grow up, the more uncomfortable they are, and in the end they either drive themselves crazy, or their families who are crazy. It is clear which category Bai Yanqiu belongs to.

Cui Hanzhang's alcohol consumption is much better than Bai Yanqiu's, although he drinks a lot, it is just a matter of soaking urine, compared to the high liquor after distillation and purification in the city later, and the wine is really more water now.

He came out to walk around to personally feel the red dust in Taikang City, and it was said that the world was raining heavily and ghosts were walking at night, and he wanted to mix in it. The one hundred and eight neighborhoods of Taikang City are full of people who suffer from poverty, those who eat in fine clothes and jade are lackluster, and there are faint and glamorous spirits. The ghost market hasn't touched the way yet, but it turned out that Bai Yanqiu was here to pay tribute to his friends, and the two of them were idle in the middle of the night, with bitter tears.

The red dust furnace, the flavors of life, the joys and sorrows are scattered like dust at first glance, the stars are dotted, there is no trace to be found, and then when you look at it, they are connected together, like a galaxy, brilliant and dazzling, and everything can be connected.

Cui Hanzhang is very sensitive to the first ray of the sun's purple qi, and a mouthful of dantian air flows all over the internal organs, so he naturally wakes up early. Before leaving, he waved his hand and asked the guards hanging at the end of the alley to carry this Bai Yanqiu back to the Hou Mansion, and the dawn before dawn was the darkest. By the way, Bai Wuxiao's family was taken to the Hou Mansion together, and now that Bai Yanqiu has just returned, I am afraid that I don't know that the danger in Taikang City is no less than that of the Beihu battlefield.

I didn't go out for a walk in vain this night, listened to Bai Yanqiu's broken thoughts, hooked the two little ghosts, Cui Xuan's side was already eyeing the tip, and he was an expert in the vine.

Cui Hanzhang has the most headache for the little white bear at home, and the appearance of being waiting to be fed is really pitiful. At first, it was quite stubborn, and it was not happy to eat goat's milk, tilting his head and stretching his neck just not to eat, seeing that this thing was going to starve to death of his own posture, who knew that he was subdued by a piece of fish meat from Cui Bo, Cui Bo personally shaved the bones of the fish and chopped it into a mashed meat, mixed it into goat's milk for it to drink, the sound of eating and eating, that is called a joy.

In addition to Cui Bo's love for this little guy, the maids of Xiaolianzhuang take great care of it, and the snow-white bear is rare in Taikang City, even if it is placed in the territory of the Shenguang Dynasty, it is probably the only one, even Cui Bo is also regarded as a strange beast, the little beast especially likes to flutter in the water, since it found the mountain carp in the small lake, it found fun, a fierce man has to chase the mountain carp endlessly, the other fish in the small lake are harmed by it, even if it is two golden carp, After all, one of them became its belly. Cui Bo observed with great interest that the carp was full of spirituality, and he simply ignored the white bear, and every time he was chased, he would fall on its face with its tail, and often fan it in the water and roll it out for a long distance.

"Obediently, it seems that I really underestimated the hometown alien species sent by Young Master Mingtang, even a strange beast like Xiaobai is not an opponent, if Xiaobai is older, it will be more interesting." The half-hundred-year-old man actually found fun in the body of a fish and a bear, and since then he has served them more attentively.

The strange beast Xiaobai is also a scoundrel, he opened his eyes for the first time in Cui Hanzhang's arms, and the result was that he even had to drill into his bed when he slept, and he was not as close to anyone as Cui Hanzhang, but this master did not want to see it, and the women of Xiaolianzhuang scolded it as a white-eyed bear, and it was not good to lick people. It was thrown to Cui Bo several times to be placed, but it swam back from the lake and climbed in through the window, Cui Hanzhang looked at its innocent little eyes, pitiful, and let it lie under the bed to sleep.

In the cold house, the moonlight is cold, and one person and one beast sleep together.

Xu Bald in Anle Street in the east of the city is very dissatisfied, these boys are really far worse than they were at the beginning, they can't even mention it, they can't even clean up a guy who just came out of the west of the city, and dare to say that they are messing with him Xu Boss?

Xu Bald's real name is no one knows, the people who know are either dead, or they are no different from dead, when Xu Bald and his eight brothers cut from the west of the city vegetable market to the city east and west water wall, the murderous name is famous, the day of cutting people has been cut after all, the other brothers are dead, he was almost cut into eight pieces and thrown into the Longyuan River to feed the fish, the heart is black and the hand is poisonous and thick-skinned, this seven-character scripture is the magic weapon of his survival, and now the juniors on Anle Street have grown up listening to the story of Xu Bald, the more it spreads, the more evil it is, Over the years, Xu Bald's name has become more and more famous.

Cui Hanzhang listened to Cui Xuan's introduction, and could feel Cui Xuan's excitement between the lines, which is a little interesting, all the businesses in the city are mastered, and the various mansions on Chili Street are intertwined but hidden behind. Since Xu Bald is a footless insect, let's cut him first, so as not to worry about his seven brothers waiting on the other side.

"Usually you rabbit cubs shout fiercer than anyone else, why are you so careless?" It was rare that Xu Bald did not get angry, and with one palm gently touched the shoulder of a person on the ground, and said calmly.

The more Xu Bald spoke like this, the more frightened the people lying on the ground became, and they couldn't help but tremble, they knew that the boss was angry and scolded, and even more so, it was okay to hit a few times, what they were afraid of was that the boss was calm and angry, which would kill people.

"That kid looks like no one or a ghost, he is a dead hand everywhere, he is as slippery as a loach at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he hasn't been blocked several times?" A bastard on the ground whispered back.

"Did you not block him, or did you not hold him? Be careful what you say, or I don't think it's useful to keep your tongue. Xu Bald looked at the lights outside the door and asked.

"Yes, he can't hold him, he has worked hard, he doesn't want to die, he is even more ruthless, he picks on the key points, and he has always been alone." The person who replied trembled with fright, and his tongue was knotted.

"Interesting, invite him to the ghost market, and if he doesn't come, he will chop and feed the fish." Xu Bald has never done the same thing, and it is rare for him to see the shadow of his youth in Cui Xuan.

Watching his men crawling away, he put away his emotion, and his eyes turned cold, like a winter wolf.

Many people in the ghost market think that he is a jackal who eats people and does not spit out bones, and he also longed for a wolf-like life, but now he lives like a dog in Taikang City, at least in the eyes of the big people behind him, he is just a dog........
