The Wind Rises Chapter 42 Chatting with the Old People on the Graceful River

Zhiqiu saw that this Mr. Wen was silent at first, so he talked to himself, and after a while, he said that his life was so miserable, how could he meet such an assassin when he went out one night, and said that this Gu Suzhou was not peaceful at all, and there was not even a patrol at night.

Mr. Wen thought that the young man would talk to himself for a while, and then he would say that he was tired, but Zhiqiu was still gushing: "Mr. Wen, do you know, when the man in black raised the knife, at that moment I really heard the breath of death, and the feeling of silence did you know, I couldn't hear anything at that moment, as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss." ”

"Sir, do you know that the light of the lantern was flickering and flickering, and it was weird and scary. ”

"How did you practice this skill, sir, there are not many people with great powers like you, right?"

"Can you teach me how to fight, sir?"

"Sir, your big black umbrella is really powerful, can you let me touch it?"

........

Zhiqiu sat on the ground and asked countless questions by himself.

Mr. Wen had no choice but to close his eyes, not wanting to deal with the young man at all.

Zhiqiu was a little thirsty as he spoke, he looked at his husband and said softly: "Sir, let's go home, I invite you to drink some wine, it just so happens that I still have a pot of wine at home." ”

Mr. Wen shook his head and said, "No need, it's too late today, you go home and sleep, I have to check this person's identity." ”

Zhiqiu wanted to continue to invite, but when he thought that this person really had to investigate clearly, he had to give up.

Just when Zhiqiu wanted to say goodbye to Mr. and then go home, Mr. Wen stopped Zhiqiu and asked, "Zhiqiu, do you have any enemies?"

Zhiqiu looked puzzled and puzzled: "I just do chores in a bookstore, although I usually don't do anything good, but I haven't done anything that hurts nature and offends people, so I definitely don't have any enemies." As he spoke, he patted his chest as if to affirm his own words.

Mr. Wen nodded, got up, picked up the big black umbrella, and walked back, disappearing at the end of the street in a short time.

Zhiqiu looked at Mr. Wen's distant back, and suddenly felt that his back was a little more majestic.

I thought that Mr. was just a scholar, but I didn't expect this scholar to carry a "sword".

Who says a reader can't fight?

The moon is high, and the sound of cicadas is everywhere.

Zhiqiu misses the old shopkeeper a little, as if he is also a scholar.

Because of a fright, Zhiqiu was not in good spirits, and his pace slowed down when he walked home, and he walked for a long time before he arrived at the door of his house.

After Zhiqiu pushed open the door, he saw that there were a few traces of fish belly white on this day, and he couldn't help but sigh that this long night would be the most memorable night in his three years.

Yan Yu'an heard the sound of pushing open the door, yawned and walked out of the door, she caught a glimpse of Zhiqiu, and said coldly: "Okay, I still know how to come back." ”

Zhiqiu touched his head, laughed twice, and then walked to the well and slowly lowered the bucket. But he didn't pull the bucket up, and Zhiqiu sat down on the ground in the courtyard, his legs straight, his hands on the ground, and a trace of tiredness on his face.

Yan Yu'an felt a little strange, she came to Zhiqiu's side, didn't sit down, just stood straight and looked at Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu felt a chill, he knew what Yan Yu'an wanted to hear, so he said softly: "Miss, I almost died." ”

Yan Yu'an frowned, fleeting.

Zhiqiu seemed to laugh at himself: "It's okay, you didn't doubt me." ”

"Well, there is no doubt, I almost died at the wine table, right?" Yan Yu'an made a straight face.

"When I didn't say it. As if he had given up, Zhiqiu collapsed to the ground and looked at the sky stupidly.

"You really didn't go out to drink just now?" Yan Yu'an seemed to be a little shaken, and she suddenly doubted herself.

Zhiqiu shook his head.

When Yan Yu'an saw this, he didn't hold on to it, so he asked seriously, "How can you die?" She rolled up her sleeves and made an expression of hatred and hatred, "I'll go to avenge you." ”

When Zhiqiu heard this, he burst out laughing, and he opened his mouth to mock: "Come on, Miss, I got my heart, but with your strength, it takes a lot of effort to get water, who else can you find revenge?"

Yan Yu'an's face flushed, and he sighed, "I... Okay, I can't talk about you, but what the hell is going on, you have to tell me. ”

Zhiqiu closed his eyes and told everything about it.

Hearing that Yan Yu'an was startled next to her, she suddenly felt that it was a pity that this little Zhiqiu didn't want to be a storyteller, how could she tell this assassin and his affair as a thrilling story?

This chase and the assassin being killed, the plot is full of ups and downs, and the summit is really like a made-up story.

After hearing the last Zhiqiu say that he wanted to be Mr. Wen's disciple, Yan Yu'an couldn't hold back any longer, and actually laughed out loud.

She quipped: "This betrayal of the teacher for no reason will have his head cut off." After saying that, she also made a motion to wipe her neck.

Zhiqiu said nonchalantly: "With the weak body of the old shopkeeper, whose head can be cut off?"

Yan Yu'an did not speak.

Zhiqiu muttered in his heart, why is this person's mouth so tight.

Can the old shopkeeper fight?

If you can fight, next time you wait for him to come back, you must pester the old shopkeeper to teach yourself a few tricks.

-------------

There is not much business in Fengxuan Building during the day, especially at noon. At most, some regulars come to the restaurant to eat a small dish, drink a few pots of cheap wine, and do not linger long, and leave when they are full of wine and food.

So the Fengxuan Building in the afternoon was the most free time for a few guys. Li Chengde is still the same, as long as there are no guests, he will sit at the gate, looking at the passers-by, and he doesn't know what he is looking at.

The proprietress occasionally went out for a stroll in the afternoon, usually to buy some of the latest rouge, and in addition to sleeping in her room.

Only the two sisters, Chunshui and Qiujiang, would play chess at the table in the hall on the first floor, but they were equally good at chess, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. However, the middle-aged man Ah Qing likes to stand by and watch them play chess, and he doesn't speak, only occasionally frowning, and occasionally smiling when he sees a trick.

All in all, Fengxuanlou in the afternoon is the most leisurely, and everyone has their own things to do.

Li Chengde sat on the threshold and suddenly saw a familiar figure, his whole body was wrapped in black cloth, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. The man glanced at him, and when he realized that something was wrong, he said loudly to the two sisters who were playing chess over there, and then left the restaurant.

He followed the familiar figure all the way to an alley, and the latter was about to kneel down when he saw that there was no one around, but was stopped by Li Chengde.

Li Chengde said softly: "Say, what's the matter?"

The man lowered the black cloth, revealing an eagle-style mask.

Eagle Mask said in a deep voice, "Zhiqiu almost died last night. ”

Li Chengde's body trembled suddenly when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses and continued: "Tell me about the details of last night." ”

"Last night, a man in black with a lantern almost wiped Zhiqiu's head with a knife, and Zhiqiu was later saved by the teacher. The Eagle Mask said succinctly about last night.

"Mr. Teaching?Mr. Wen?" Li Chengde seemed to hear a key person.

The masked man nodded, adding, "That teacher is very powerful, he is holding a large black umbrella, and he pierced the assassin with just the handle of the umbrella. ”

Li Chengde let out an "oh", his face expressionless. He continued, "Mr. Wen has always been there?"

"I couldn't feel him, I thought I was going to die, but at the last moment, the gentleman suddenly appeared and killed the assassin, and it's hard to tell if he was on that street or not. The Eagle Mask said slowly.

Li Chengde smiled faintly: "If he wasn't on that street at the time, it would be quite interesting." ”

But soon, the second prince changed his expression, and his face gradually became a little angry, and he scolded loudly: "Waste, it's a big deal for me! And the face came to me? Why didn't you save Zhiqiu last night?"

He slapped him hard in the masked man's face, but the latter didn't move.

Li Chengde took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you have to save Zhiqiu, you know?"

Eagle Mask didn't ask why, and nodded obediently.

Li Chengde was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why wasn't the pigeon next to him last night?"

Eagle Mask shook his head.

Li Chengde waved his hand and let the Eagle Mask leave first. He walked around the alley alone, thinking about it, and thinking about who was most willing to see Zhiqiu's death at the moment.

It seems to be someone from Fu'an Palace, right? Li Chengde smiled.

Zhiqiu, if you die in front of me, I will throw in and admit defeat.

I'll die before you, and you'll have to throw in the towel.

The living man suffers more than the dead.

Li Chengde thought of the boy who was naturally optimistic, and he didn't know what kind of expression he had last night?

Just as Li Chengde was walking on the way to Fengxuan Tower, he happened to pass by the bridge, which was the bridge when the two met for the first time in Suzhou.

There was a smirking teenager waiting for him on the bridge.

The young man waved his hand at Li Chengde, who also smiled heartily and walked towards him.

Just as the two met, the young man's face sank, and he suddenly threw an uppercut that hit Li Chengde in the abdomen, and the latter was defenseless and fell to the ground.

The young man looked at Li Chengde who fell to the ground with a sneering face, and said softly: "Didn't you say that the second prince also practiced martial arts?

Li Chengde quickly got up and stood up, without any expression on his face, and said softly: "I didn't do it." ”

The young man turned around, he didn't want to look at Li Chengde at all, he looked at the graceful river in front of him, and said nonchalantly: "Of course I know, otherwise you wouldn't just be hit by this punch." ”

Just as Li Chengde wanted to continue to say something, the young man spoke again: "I was embarrassed last night, I guess the eagle told you everything, right?"

"Is it fun to watch people laugh?" the young man's voice was neither loud nor small.

Li Chengde smiled awkwardly and didn't talk.

The young man reluctantly said: "With this sincerity, you want to join forces with me?"

"Next time, it's going to join forces with the dead, right, Second Prince?" The young man changed his face quite quickly, and looked at Li Chengde with a smile on his face.

Li Chengde shook his head and said apologetically: "Whether you believe it or not, if I were there, I would definitely save you, but I sometimes can't control what the eagle does." ”

"I'm sorry, Zhiqiu. The second prince bowed his head towards Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu smirked and patted Li Chengde on the shoulder, and then left.

But Li Chengde knew in his heart that his game of chess was even more difficult.
