Chapter 44: Parting
Ximenqing knew that Lu Fang and Luan Tingyu couldn't keep it for the time being, so he handed over all the trivial matters at home to Ju An, Xue Yong and others, and asked them to take care of them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Time flies, and seven or eight days pass by in a flash.
Lu Fang got up to say goodbye because he wanted to return to his hometown, Ximenqing and others stayed with him for a few more days, Lu Fang said: "What kind of character is the little brother, he can be treated like his brother, he should be like Brother Xue, serving his brother." ”
Ximenqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Brother, aren't you leaving?" In fact, it's no wonder that Ximenqing is anxious, he really loves Lu Fang, not because of his accumulation on Liangshan, but because he really recognizes Lu Fang, and Lu Fang also treats Ximenqing as his own brother.
As soon as the words came out, Ximenqing knew that he was wrong, and when he saw Lu Fang's expression, he was about to leave, and then sighed, and his reluctance was overflowing.
Lu Fang looked at his eyes, and his heart was really uncomfortable, Ximenqing couldn't bear him, how could he be willing to Ximenqing? So far, Ximenqing is the only person who has a heart-to-heart with him, but he can't help himself in the rivers and lakes.
sighed, "It's not a brother, I'm bent on leaving, I've been away from home for too long, and the brothers who accompany me are in a hurry to go home, and I still have an old father at home, and I still want to go back to take care of it." ”
The fellow villager who accompanied Lu Fang said: "This weather is cold, we have a long way to go, if we go late, we encounter heavy snow and close the road, how to return to our hometown in the new year?" ”
Ximenqing nodded, understood the truth, and only patted Lu Fang's shoulder: "Filial piety comes first, brother, you have to go back to take care of your father, if I can stop you?" It's just that if you have some leisure, you might as well come to me again to meet me, and if you can't leave, it's good to ask someone to send me a letter. ”
When Lu Fang heard that he was going to leave, Ximen Qing said: "Although I want to leave, I am not in a hurry at this time, I just said that the weather is cold, yes, I asked someone to make winter clothes for my brothers a few days ago, leave them on the road to use, and wait for another day, eat some wine and then leave, and talk about the feelings of sending each other." ”
Everyone saw that Ximenqing said the truth, and he had taken the winter coat again, and it was nothing if he was only delayed for one day, so they nodded and agreed, but Lu Fang didn't say a word.
Ximen Qing said: "Why don't you make a sound, brother? But what did I do wrong? ”
Lu Fangdao: "Where is my brother's fault, it's really my brother, I don't know how to thank you." At this time, Lu Fang's words were a little choked, how could a dignified manly husband cry and cry, wouldn't he be ashamed of his majesty? But people are not plants and trees, and when it comes to the most affectionate, you can't help it.
Ximenqing is also a decisive person, seeing that people can't stay, he forced a smile and said: "Then my brother, how can you still say thank you, the banquet will be held, and you will be punished for eating a few more glasses." ”
In the evening, Ximen celebrates a feast.
Lu Fang was so drunk that he pulled Ximenqing's arm, and he didn't know what nonsense was in his mouth.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Fang and others took care of their bags and packages, and took sticks and knives to leave, Ximenqing called people to carry wine and meat to send each other, and when they went out of the city gate, Ximenqing said again: "Brother, wait a minute." Then he hurried home, and took some gold, silver, and ginseng and sent them to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang saw the push but didn't accept it, and said: "My brother is already a generous grace to me, how dare I ask my brother to spoil such silver, and this ginseng is too valuable." ”
Ximen Qing said: "Don't do it, don't do it, the silver is the money I gave you to eat and drink, go to the sky and the road, my brother left some wine money to eat wine, this ginseng I still have some, and this thing is not for you, but for the respectful relatives, this thing is a big supplement, and please say hello on my behalf." ”
Lu Fanghu's eyes were full of tears, and he sensed Ximenqing's heart of fists, but he couldn't push it, so he could only accept it.
Ximen Qing said again: "It's still early, I might as well send you a gift and talk about my heart." ”
In this way, the two gossiped some things, Ximen Qing sent Lu Fang three or five miles away, Lu Fang pulled Ximen Qing and said: "Brother's kindness, brother can not repay each other in death, brother is a person who does great things, these days with me to eat and drink, I heard that a lot of business has been delayed, so send it again, how can I go in my heart." ”
The people around him also said: "Ximen official, this old saying is cloudy: sending people for a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end." You are all heroes, why do you have some little daughters now. ”
Ximen Qing laughed when he heard this, knowing that he didn't need to send it again, and said: "Wealth and goods are like floating clouds to me, where can I be worthy of the love of you and my brothers, but this benevolent brother is right, they are all heroic husbands, and when they meet in the future, they don't need to be a little daughter, so I won't send it, just be careful on the road." ”
Lu Fang nodded, quit Ximenqing and walked a few steps, turned around and saw Ximenqing thrown in place to look at his back, burst into tears for a while, turned over and went back, and when he arrived in front of Ximenqing, he knelt on the ground with a pop.
Ximenqing hurriedly went to stop him and asked, "Brother, what is this for?" ”
Lu Fang didn't answer, only knocked a few on the ground and said: "Lu Fang is willing to serve Brother Ximenqing as a brother, in this life and this life, but there is a sending, only ask someone to send a few words, no matter where I am Lu Fang, I will definitely die with you, this statement is the emperor and the queen of heaven as evidence, if there is half a point of shirk, I will die under ten thousand knives and suffer from Ling Chi." ”
"You and I have long been brothers, why is this so? Why? Brothers must never make such an oath. Ximen Keikyu said.
Lu Fang smiled when he heard this, his friendship was in his heart, and he said loudly: "Brother is gone, brother take care." ”
Watching Lu Fang's figure gradually disappear, Ximenqing was still a little stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"Brother Lu Fang, since you regard me as a brother, I will never let you repeat the mistakes of the past in the future, as long as you live up to me, I will never live up to you, glory and wealth, high-ranking officials and lords.
……………………
After sending Lu Fang away, Ximen Qingxin said: "Even if Lu Fang goes, Luan Tingyu is afraid that it will be difficult to keep him." He has already promised Zhujiazhuang to be the head of the sect, and he may have to resign in a few days. Thinking of this, he felt quite uncomfortable.
This Luan Tingyu is not like Lu Fang, Luan Tingyu has been walking around the rivers and lakes for a long time, well-informed, strong in martial arts, arrogant in heart, Ximen Qing's means of putting his heart into his heart, may be able to make Lu Fang die, but for Luan Tingyu, it can't make him to the point where his lives intersect. If you want to be a brother with him, you have to put a lot of effort into it.
Ximen Qing was thinking about it, and outside the door, Second Uncle Liu entered the door and said: "Just now there was news from the county government that Shen Zhong was a stab and exiled to Cangzhou. ”
"In this way, I bothered Second Uncle Liu to invite the Huo family brothers, Shen Zhong thorn with Cangzhou, and he was sure to cross the Yellow River, so he asked them to do it in the river, and gave Xie more gold and silver rewards afterwards." Ximen Qing replied lightly, in his heart, Shen Zhong's family was already a dead man, so he escaped with his life, and there was no threat to him.
Second Uncle Liu listened and said: "They are a good player in this business, and please rest assured, but a few days ago they sent someone to say that they don't want gold and silver in this matter, and I am afraid that some business will have to be done with Dalang." ”
"Oh?" Ximen Qing, who was originally leaning on the table, slowly stood up straight, and looked at Second Uncle Liu with his eyes. The Huo family brothers are all from water thieves, what can their business be.
"Hey, hey!" Ximenqing smiled inexplicably.
Second Uncle Liu, who was laughing, was cold.
