"This ghost weather, if it snows, it snows, but it freezes to death!"

In the middle of the night, the cold wind in the mountains was howling, and several figures pushed open the door of the abandoned mountain temple in the mountains, shaking the snowflakes on their shoulders, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in from the outside, and hurriedly turned around and closed the door again.

In an instant, I felt a lot warmer.

The small temple in the mountains does not have much space inside, but it is no problem to accommodate dozens of people.

The windows on both sides have long been blocked with wooden boards, and the outside is full of wind and snow, and the inside of the house is like two worlds.

In the middle of the house, someone lit a bonfire to keep warm, and they were not the only people in the temple, whether it was a high-roller walking the rivers and lakes, a dart master who escorted the darts and goods, or a pedestrian who was rushing at night, they were all blocked here by this sudden heavy snowfall.

"If it's cold, come and bake it." There were a lot of people around the fire, and a few people wanted to find a corner to sit down, but someone said loudly.

"Thank you~!"

The people in the rivers and lakes have always been bold, and several people did not refuse, and sat down next to the position where the other party got out of the way.

After sitting down, one of the men untied a water bladder from his back, handed it over and asked, "Would you like to have a drink?" ”

The person on the other side was about to wave his hand to refuse, the man opened the water bladder, and a strong aroma came from it, he was stunned for a moment, took the water bladder, raised his head and poured a sip, and said with a smile: "Good wine~!" ”

"Hehe, this is a famous liquor in Sujiang Mansion, but the price of his mother is too expensive." The man smiled and said.

"How many brothers are from Sujiang Mansion City?" The man asked with a smile.

The man nodded and said, "That's right, I originally planned to go to Luzhou to do something, but I didn't expect the snow to fall suddenly, so I can only wait for tomorrow to leave." ”

The person on the other side also reported his identity, it turned out that he was also from Sujiang Mansion, and he was in the business of escorting darts and goods, and he encountered a snowstorm tonight, so he could only rest here for a while.

They are all people in the rivers and lakes, and after a short conversation, the atmosphere becomes lively.

For these people who often walk on the rivers and lakes, they are all brothers in the four seas, and most of them have bold personalities, after all, when they are out of the house, who is not in difficulty, it is very necessary to make friends.

The flames were in full bloom, and someone brought some firewood from the corner to add it, and the temperature in the house rose a little more. The people in the rivers and lakes talked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and after pouring a few sips of spirits to warm up, the conversation box slowly opened.

"It's not easy to get the goods on this snowy day, where are Brother Zheng going?" After the man took two sips, he sealed the wine bag, this thing is expensive, if it weren't for the relationship with this Zheng brother, he would really be reluctant to take it out.

After a short exchange just now, I already knew that the brother on the other side was called Zheng Biao, who was escorting people to dart and goods for a living, and he was also delayed on the road by this sudden snowstorm tonight.

"Luzhou." Zheng Biao smiled and said.

"It's not far." The man continued along this topic, although the business of betting darts is hard and has certain risks, but compared with others, the remuneration is also very considerable.

"Hehe, it's just barely able to get by." Zheng Biao smiled and said: "It's just a mess of food, the big business has been taken over by the Sihai Gang, and we can only pick up what they don't like, and we can't make a lot of money in one trip." ”

The Han family's Sihai Gang is famous in Heqing Mansion, and this man often hears it, thinking of a rumor he heard in the past two days, he wondered: "I heard that the Han seniors of the Sihai Gang issued a killing order to a woman a few days ago, and many people in the green forest wanted to have a relationship with the Han family and kill the woman, but they were all killed, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”

"What Han senior, it's just a eunuch." A sarcastic voice came from beside Zheng Biao. The man looked at the person who opened his mouth and asked suspiciously, "Eunuch?" Dare to ask this brother, how do you say this? ”

The man looked at the man and was also a little surprised, "Hasn't this brother heard of the Han family's seventy-two ways to ward off evil spirits?" ”

The man shook his head, what kind of evil sword technique is this, he really hasn't heard of it.

"I want to hear about it." The man arched his hand and said.

People in the martial arts have their own talent for gossip, and Han's predecessors are quite famous in the martial arts, although there are some anecdotes, but they are far less powerful than the people in front of them say.

The man vaguely felt that he seemed to be hearing a little-known secret again.

Sitting here on the fire was also boring, and there was nothing to do, and the man slowly said, "Things have to start from thirty years ago......

……

……

I don't know why, I lit the stove yesterday, and the house was too warm, and it still felt a little cold last night.

Chu Yun woke up early in the morning, and when he was getting dressed, he felt the cold wind in the room, and glanced at the location of the window, only to find that the window on the opposite side was actually half open, and he should have forgotten to close it when he went to bed last night.

After a night, the stove was afraid that it had been extinguished, Chu Yun ran over to close the window, and when he looked out from the inside, he saw a white expanse.

It's snowing.

Don't hurry to close the window, this snow came suddenly, and although the snowflakes floating in the sky are small, judging from the thick snow on the ground, you can imagine how big the snow was last night.

The cold wind poured in from outside, and I immediately woke up a lot, but I didn't feel much cold at this time. He got up very early today, Xiangzhen and Yu'er hadn't left the room yet, and walked over to open the courtyard door, Lao Chen was carrying a big broom to clear the snow.

"Uncle, it's morning~!"

Lao Chen and Chu Yun said hello, and the movements of his subordinates did not slow down at all, and they pushed over like a humanoid road sweeper, and in their field of vision, many people were already busy.

Chu Yun turned his head and saw the only line of footprints in the yard that he stepped on, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. Grab a handful of snow from the ground and knead it into a ball, wanting to experience what it was like to have a snowball fight as a child.

At this moment, the door of a room somewhere in the courtyard opened, and seeing the figure coming out of the room, Chu Yun subconsciously threw the snow ball out.

"Bang~!"

Yan Chuchu's sleeves swept away, and the snow ball suddenly burst in the air and scattered in all directions. Seeing his sister-in-law's eyes full of fighting spirit, Chu Yun subconsciously ran out of the door.

I forgot my brain before throwing it just now, sister-in-law, is it something he can provoke?

Several snow balls flew over from behind, landed right on his neck, and poured in from the back of his neck, Chu Yun shuddered, and the speed under his feet was faster.

Although the sister-in-law didn't chase after her, Chu Yun still planned to go around outside and then go back.

Most people are sweeping the snow on the road, not only in front of their own homes, but also in the house The snow has been swept to the side of the road, a few bear children who got up early have already played, the snow is flying, and they are not angry when they hit their heads, they grab a handful of snow from the side of the road and fight back, and after a while, the clothes are wet from the inside out, and they are shaking like a sieve when they stand on the side of the road.

Chu Yun walked around and returned to his house, the snow in the yard had been swept to a pile, Yu'er was squatting on the ground to build a snowman, Yan Chuchu's snowman had already been piled up, Chu Yun could distinguish it for a while before he vaguely recognized a little human form.

Chu Yun smiled and leaned back, and in Yan Chuchu's unkind eyes, he took a few wooden shovels from the kitchen and walked to another snowdrift opposite. It's only a small half-time effort, and a half-human-tall snow sculpture is made.

Time is limited, and many details cannot be perfect, but it is the first time that Yu and Yan Chuchu have seen someone use snow to make such a vivid character.

The woman stood there pretty, holding a sword in her hand, and she could even see the expression on her face clearly, and she was a miniature version of Miss Yan Er.

Yu'er glanced at Miss Yan Er, and felt a little envious in her heart, if only my uncle could pile up one Yu'er, of course, if I could pile up another eldest lady, it would be perfect.

Yan Chuchu was no longer ashamed, and aside from his intentions, she liked this snowman very much. Chu Yun was also very satisfied with his work, after all, it was the first time to do it, and it was already very good to have this level, he looked up and down for a while, and suddenly smashed the snow sculpture with one palm.

It's like spending half a day in the past, stacking a house with more than 1,000 building blocks, and then destroying it by yourself, for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the feeling in my heart at that moment is extremely comfortable.

The only thing that is wrong is that after he photographed the snow sculpture, the temperature around him seems to be a little colder......

Chu Yun ran from his house to the street in one go, gasping for breath, and when he looked back, he saw that no one had caught up, so he found a roadside stall and sat down to rest

Last night, the snow was very heavy, but on the main road of Sujiang Fucheng, there was not much snow at this time, no need to be supervised by the government, when the sky was not yet bright, some people got up one after another, swept the snow at the door of their homes to the side of the road, and the shops were even more active, after all, they had to do business on snowy days, life was not easy, and if they opened the door for one day, they would lose one more day.

At this moment, there are no snowflakes in the sky, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street than in the past.

There were no people in the shops I saw along the way, but there were a few customers in the few liquor shops, all of which were the only shops selling spirits in the city of Sujiang Mansion, and the boss behind the scenes was Yue Wangfu, which was also the source of more than 90% of the family's income.

Wandering and wandering into the tile house, no matter when, there is no shortage of people here, teahouse restaurants, brothels, guests in and out, lively and tight.

When Chu Yun pushed open the door and walked in, the storyteller Old Man Sun was directing those people to rehearse "Painted Skin", which will be performed in two days, which is related to whether they can eat enough in the future, and they have to get up from the bed before dawn in the morning, and they can only go back very late, but no one has complaints.

"Childe, you're here, Miss Shu isn't here now, I'll call her right away." When Old Man Sun saw Chu Yun, he immediately ran over and said with a smile.

After seeing the follow-up story book, his attitude towards Li Yi was even better.

"No, no, no~." Chu Yun waved his hand, he just stopped by to take a look.

The old man seemed to think of something, took out a cloth bag from his arms, looked heavy, and said: "Take these money boys, I found a few old friends to tell the story of the rivers and lakes last time, and it was really very popular with those people in the rivers and lakes, and the money was sent by them yesterday." ”

Chu Yun waved his hand again and said, "Give all the money to Miss Shu, the hook bar will be opened again, and it will definitely be a lot of money, so you can keep the money." ”

When Old Man Sun heard this, he didn't say anything more, they really need a lot of money these days.

Regarding Chu Yun's letting him spread the good story through several friends who are also storytellers, Old Man Sun was very puzzled.

Most of the people in the martial arts are bold, and most of the people outside the city are those who gather, and they are generous, and they like to listen to the things of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes the most, and they will not be stingy with money when they hear about it.

It's a pity that there are good stories that don't keep them for themselves, I can't guess Chu Yun's intentions, and Old Man Sun doesn't think about it, it's not something he should worry about, so he sent him out of the hook fence, and went back to urge those people to hurry up and rehearse.

……

……

"Hey, the old man continued, what the hell is that seventy-two ways to ward off evil spirits......"

In a small makeshift shack at the foot of the city wall, a man threw a small piece of broken silver into a clay pot in front of him and urged.

The shack is not big, but there are a lot of people inside, most of them look like dusty people, and they look like people who are often running outside.

After the man urged, the rest of the crowd also urged the old man to continue with interest.

Although the old man was old, he still had some eyesight, and when he saw a silver light flashing into the crockpot, the wrinkles on his face bloomed like chrysanthemums, and he cleared his throat and continued to speak.

"If you want to say that the Han family's seventy-two ways to ward off evil swordsmanship, it is really amazing, it is a legendary first-class swordsmanship, but few people know it, firstly, this swordsmanship is never passed on, and secondly, the people who use this swordsmanship are all fast and weird, no one outside knows the name of its moves, only that its moves are extremely fast, and it has reached an unbelievable realm......"
