Chapter 32: A Sword Seals the Throat

When I was in Qingyunling, the scholar's father was the gentleman who was in charge of teaching, he had nothing to do, he liked to pinch his fingers to tell his fortune, and his calculation was quite accurate, for example, Su Yu ran over and chased after Mr. and asked: "Mr. Sir, will it be sunny or rainy tomorrow, is it suitable to go into the water to fish?" ”

At this time, the gentleman would shake his broken fan like a scholar, shake his head and say, "It's sunny, it's rainy, it's not fish!" ”

As soon as he said this, Su Yu Tang Zhen and scholars generally turned their heads and left, Da Kui and Zhu Lin followed behind, not knowing what they meant, and asked, "What do you mean, sir?" ”

Generally speaking, what Lao Tzu said, his son explained it quite straightforwardly, and the scholar said directly: "My father said that tomorrow will be either cloudy or sunny, but you are not allowed to touch the fish!" ”

With such a concise translation, Rao is a fool and can understand.

At dawn the next day, when I looked up at the sky again, it was undeniable that Mr. was really accurate! It's either sunny or cloudy.

In other words, there is only one hexagram, Mr. is best at poetry and calligraphy, and the best person he teaches is his son scholar, and the rest are all failures, and Su Yu is also one of the top ones in the failures.

The serious poems taught by Mr. may not be able to be memorized by everyone, but this sentence "I planted this tree, and I drove this road" was memorized by several people in unison.

To this day, these words have become the secret words of Su Yu and the big man, people in the same way.

The big man also recognized Su Yu, he couldn't see clearly last night, and today he looked at the girl in front of him who was dressed in thin clothes, quickly wiped his tears, stood up, and was a little embarrassed.

Su Yu saw that the wound on his foot began to soak blood again, and wondered, "Why didn't you go to the doctor to treat the injury?" ”

The big man seemed to feel a little guilty about last night's events, and bowed his head and said, "My big bull is hard, I don't need to see it." ”

Su Yu looked at the child in his arms who was waiting to be fed again, and asked, "If you don't go to see it, you should get some food for your child!" ”

Da Niu was a little embarrassed by the question, and said: "Yesterday, last night, I have already fed the batter once, how do you know that the child is hungry fast......"

"Where's your money?"

Su Yu raised his eyes and stared at him, and asked: "The silver that Zicheng gave last night is also surplus after treating your injury, why is the wound not cured now, and the child is no longer raised, is it that you have become a prostitute and lost your money?" ”

Listening to the aggressive questioning in his ear, Da Niu's aggrieved shoulders shook, shed tears again, and explained: "The girl doesn't know anything! Among the people who robbed last night, there were parents who were seriously ill and needed medical treatment, and there were those who owed the money to the hundreds of adults who could not afford to pay it back. ”

Su Yu listened, silent, looked at the skinny and yellow-skinned child in Da Niu's arms, thinking about the child's mother, who was said to have died of illness, stretched out his hand, took off the only valuable silver hairpin from his head and handed it to Da Niu, saying: "I have nothing else, this hairpin is for you, take it for silver, and hold on for a few days." ”

Saying that, Su Yu looked up at the somewhat dim sky, and said quietly: "A friend of mine said that the gloomy world of Daliang will not be too long, I believe him, and you believe me." ”

Da Niu looked at the hairpin, Ben shook his head, but when he saw that the crying in his arms gradually stopped, and the increasingly weak child still hesitated and took it.

Su Yu didn't say much, turned around and left, Da Niu knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed a few times to Su Yu, and said with tears: "Girl, this kindness, I Da Niu will definitely repay it, dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

Su Yu paused, this scene was the glory of being admired by others after she dreamed of becoming a hero, but now that she really met it, what she felt in her heart was not joy and pride, but indescribable heaviness.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yu opened his mouth, closed his mouth again, smiled at the big cow, and turned to leave.

Back at the inn, Xiao Yi seemed to have gotten up, and happened to call Su Yu to eat together, Su Yu nodded and sat down, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank a few sips.

Xiao Yi raised his eyes, his gaze stopped on Su Yu's head for a moment, and then said: "Yu'er, I have some jewelry left by my mother at home, and I have forgotten to give it to you, and next time I go back, you can see which one you like." ”

Su Yu put down the bowl, looked at Xiao Yi, did not smile, and said directly: "You and I meet in Pingshui, I owe you, and I will definitely pay you back in the future." ”

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, "Between husband and wife, don't say whether you owe or not." ”

This sentence between husband and wife was extremely serious, and Su Yu, who listened to it, was a little stunned, and after a moment, he retorted in a low voice: "It was just a joke at the beginning, and the two of us are not husband and wife." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, "At the beginning, I thought it was a joke, but Yu'er, after getting along, I may have some feelings for you, thinking that the joke is serious, and I don't want to let go." ”

When Su Yu heard this, he didn't rush to refute as usual, but only looked at Xiao Yi quietly, and said sincerely: "Husband and wife are two people's affairs, you should find someone you really like and like you with all your heart." ”

Xiao Yi's heart was moved by Su Yu's serious eyes, and after a moment, he smiled slightly, looking at Su Yu, his face was gentle, but his words were extremely powerful.

"Yes. But the woman I like in Xiao Yat will definitely be mine. ”

Looking at Xiao Yi's confident appearance, Su Yu straightened up goosebumps, felt in danger, quickly changed the topic, and continued: "If you are uneasy today, the Xiao family of the General's Mansion plan to remain neutral like this all the time?" ”

Xiao Yi drank a cup of tea, put down the cup, looked at the few remaining tea leaves in the cup, and asked rhetorically, "What does Yu'er think?" ”

"It's not a long-term solution."

"How?"

"Now that the emperor is old and in poor health, to say something disrespectful, if he reaches the time of Zen, the situation of the Great Liang Dynasty will change. If the Xiao family remains neutral, now under the competition between the two tigers, the Xiao family can still live in peace for a few years, once the young master assisted by one party ascends the throne, the other party will definitely fail, and then only one force will be in power, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Liang Hong or Wei Tong, there is no amount of tolerance between the emperor and the current saint, and the Xiao family, who has been in power for generations, will inevitably not be suspicious, slowly weakened, and even suppressed to the end. Since ancient times, there have been no more than three generations of famous generals, why not because of this reason! ”

Xiao Yi listened, the cynical smile on his face narrowed a little, and looked at Su Yu, his eyes revealed a little approval, "I just thought that you were clever and meticulous, and you still have such insight, but I was clumsy before." ”

Su Yu didn't get fluttering because of a compliment this time, but only asked Xiao Yidao: "Then you, what are your plans?" ”

"If you just want to have children and grandchildren, is it a plan?"

Su Yu thought that this Xiao Yi could say something ambitious, but as soon as his words changed, he began to flamboyate again. Su Yu despised it, and said intimidatingly: "The children and grandchildren are full, the children and grandchildren are full!" I wish you to abandon your armor and return to the field as soon as possible to become an old man, and become a white-haired and pale worm! ”

Xiao Yi nodded, "The old man has to do it, but the children and grandchildren are full, and he still has to bother his wife to work hard!" ”

Thinking that his skills in coercion have reached a certain level, Su Yu thought that Xiao Yi had been dumbfounded, so he leisurely drank a sip of tea from the war, and never thought that Xiao Yi's prodigal words of "Mrs. Lao" came out, which made Su Yu instantly angry, squirted out all the tea he had just swallowed, and coughed violently on the table.

Xiao Yi patted her on the back carefully, Su Yu came to her senses, and just wanted to cross her waist and scold this Xiao Yi, who knew that Xiao Yi was serious again, got up and picked up the phoenix and phoenix on the table, and said to Su Yu: "The customs here are very good, I feel in my heart, I really want to meet the head of the hundred households who govern this Tongxiang Town, do you want to go together?" ”

As soon as Su Yu heard the matter, he stopped talking to Xiao Yi, and hurriedly got up and raised his feet, keeping up with Xiao Yi's steps.

This Tongxiang town is not big, and after walking only one or two miles, I arrived at the courtyard of the hundred official families.

Domineering rampant into the door, Su Yu looked around, sighing that every inch of land is heaven and every inch of land, but that's it, just a wall, outside the courtyard wall is a dilapidated rough house, the common people are hungry and clothed, and in the courtyard wall, there are high-rise houses, wine and meat are fragrant, and the corners are still imitating the house in Beijing, making rockery and flowing water, red plum and willow.

Hearing that someone was coming, the hundred household officials hurriedly came out of the house, and looked at the people, the male Qi Yuxuan was just and noble, the female temperament was smart and the face was delicate, and the birth was the dragon among the people, the posture of the phoenix of the nine heavens.

Knowing that the person who came was not an ordinary person, the hundred household officials gave up their hands and made a scholarly etiquette, and asked happily: "I don't know who the two are?" What is the so-called thing when you come to the official's house? ”

Su Yu didn't speak, Xiao Yi was on the side, put the sword in his hand on his shoulder, looked at the man in front of him with a big belly and a mole on his face, and asked straight to the point: "Are you the official of the hundred households here?" ”

The man nodded, and a little pride suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.

"Exactly!"

"Your son married the daughter of the county order?"

The hundred household officials were even more proud, "Yes! ”

"Organized a wedding banquet, but set up a flowing water banquet for three days?"

As if sensing that there were too many questions, the hundred household officials suddenly became vigilant, looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Who are you?" Q: What does this do? ”

Xiao Yi smiled gloomily, and said very naturally: "I will give you a gift." ”

When the hundred household officials heard the gift, they smiled again, looked at the emptiness in Xiao Yi's hand, and then looked at Su Yu, who was a little weak on the side, wiped his saliva and said, "Don't you want to give me this delicate beauty?" ”

Su Yu was not angry, and smiled more and more charmingly at the hundred household officials who were about to be sad.

The hundred household officials' eyes suddenly lit up, and they were about to stretch out their hands, but they were stopped by Xiao Yi's long sword, stopped back, and said with a face: "You are a woman who has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard and dares to touch your grandfather!" ”

When the hundred household officials heard this, they were immediately annoyed. "You're empty-handed, if it's not for this beauty, what kind of gift would you give?"

Before the mouth of the hundred household officials was closed, they heard a low sound of whispering, and then the long sword came out of the sheath, not touching the flesh and blood, and instantly retracted into the sheath, cutting off the last syllable that the hundred household officials were about to say in their throats.

"Your head."
