Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

The next morning, Beze still got up very early, and seeing that I wanted to sleep in, he repeatedly urged me to get up quickly and practice swordsmanship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe incident the day before yesterday had made me discouraged, and my spirits were low, and I didn't care about anything anymore, so I said, "Long Hua doesn't want to practice martial arts and sword anymore." Don't be puzzled, "You can't go a day without practicing your sword, and you can't go without a meal." Why did Longhua abandon it? I said lazily, "If Long Hua didn't know swordsmanship, he wouldn't have made such a big mess." Beze smiled and said, "No, the one who has nothing to do is not the master of the sword, and the master of the sword is lofty, hidden deeply." In the opinion of the foolish brother, Longhua must practice hard and worship the master, so that he knows that the exercises are boundless and the realm is far-reaching. If it is only for the sake of fame and fame, or the fur of knowledge, he will wield his sword, be self-righteous, and often hide the disaster of killing. ”

Beze's words may be good, but they are exaggerated. I said, "I have no enmity with others, and besides, the subjects of the heavenly kingdom abide by the rules and obey the law, how can Longhua be killed?" I'm afraid it's my brother's alarmism. Beze said, "What I mean is to make Longhua's thinking profound, stored for a long time, and if there is no disaster, it will be lucky, and the danger will be destroyed." This is not an alarmist statement, but a sincere repentance of the father. Seeing that Beze brought out the earnest repentance of Father Gaoliang, and what he said was very reasonable, I couldn't help asking, "But what is the age of Father Gaoliang?" Bezeze said, "About fifty or more." ”

Presumably, those who know the destiny of heaven in this way can be called the wisdom of life, and others will repent of it. If I had repented the day before, I would have saved him from great chaos. I couldn't help but revere my father, Gao Liang, and said, "This person is extraordinary and unfathomable, when will Brother take me to worship." Beze was a little happy, and said, "This is not difficult, and I have not been there for many days, but I will visit you for a few days." ”

After understanding the truth, I redoubled my martial arts and sword practice, starting from the most basic and simplest moves one by one, so that I could be proficient in every move and style. After a few days of hard practice, I felt that my swordsmanship level was rapidly improving, and my psychological realm seemed to have made a new leap. It's just that I often worry about Gna in my heart. This concern made me yearn to see Gna, but I felt guilty and afraid to see her. Since that incident, my heartfelt affection and respect for her have been increasing day by day, and my gratitude and longing for her have also deepened, and I always feel that I have a thousand words to say to her, and if I don't say it, I feel gloomy and depressed.

This morning, I rode again to the vineyard. At this time, the vineyard was devoid of grapes, and there was no more singing and laughing from the girls. I followed the path towards the wooden house where the girls lived. When he walked through the vineyard, he saw some girls washing baskets of grapes with water from the stream in front of the hut, so he dismounted and walked over.

When the girls saw me coming, they all looked at me. One of the girls said to me while washing the grapes, "Yo, but the warrior of the day before yesterday?" Listening to this mocking tone, I smiled awkwardly and asked, "Gnaa?" The woman who had just spoken said, "Gna is ashamed to see people because of your fault, and she has left the day before yesterday and returned home." In the face of the contempt and indifference of the girls, I felt that it was not interesting to ask more, so I thanked him and turned away.

When I untied the reins from the tree and was about to mount my horse, I heard someone shouting from behind, "Slow down." "I looked back, but it was the woman who was laughing at me walking towards me. When she came to me, I asked, "What is the girl looking for me?" The girl bowed to me slightly, and said, "It is not easy for the prince to come here, presumably to find out where Gna's family is." I nodded sincerely. The girl said, "Gna's house is by Xinghua Creek in Beilingnan Village. I asked, "Where is Northridge?" The girl said, "From Taocun to the north, I walked across the glacier, and then walked north for about ten miles, and then I saw a high mountain, which is Beiling." After that, go straight to the south side of the path, and you will see a farmhouse, and you will know when you ask. I thanked the girl, and then I galloped straight to the west.

I followed the woman's instructions, folded Tao Village to the west, crossed the glacier river in the north, crossed the ancient forest path, and traveled all the way north until I reached the bottom of a mountain ridge hundreds of meters high, and I thought this mountain was the North Ridge. There are two paths behind the North Ridge, one to the south and one to the west. I walked along the path to the south, and after walking for a short time, I saw that the side of the road was full of almond trees. As we walked, I saw a clear stream passing through the forest. I continued along the path along the stream. About the edge of the forest, there is a farmhouse.

As soon as I knocked on the door, an old man heard that I was coming to Gna, and led me down the slope. Walk down the slope to three to five hundred meters, and there is a farmhouse standing south along the slope, and the stream flows in front of the door. Across the stream is a slope full of almond trees. Looking at the green mountains and rivers around her, you can see why Gna is so beautiful and beautiful.

When I came to Gna's house, the door was open, and I saw Gna sitting in the middle of the house weaving. The old man shouted for Gna from afar. Gna hurriedly came out of the house, and when she saw that it was me, she was very surprised, and hurriedly saluted, saying, "Childe has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way. I said, "Although it is a long road, the road is a beautiful road." When the old man saw us talking, he hurriedly retired.

When I entered Gna's house, I saw that Gna's house was no different from ordinary people's homes. When Gna saw me coming from a long distance, she cooked for me without lunch. I said, "I went to the vineyard, and I heard that you had left because of me, and Longhua was very ashamed." Gna said while burning the fire, "Childe is too worried, the dispute between Childe and Yunbu is Gna's fault, and now Yunbu is being punished with hard labor, and Childe is also seriously injured, all of which are Gna's fault." It's just that Gna has no face to say goodbye to Childe and Yunbu, so she decides to go back to the village to hide. I said, "The girl is like this, it's better to let Longhua pick herself." Gna was taken aback, and said, "Childe picks himself, and Gna will definitely pick himself later." ”

At this time, Gna's parents came back from outside, they looked about the age of confusion, dressed in farm clothes, but they were extremely simple and kind. Gna's father asked me, "But is it the son of Longhua from Han China?" I said, "Uncle, how do you get acquainted?" Uncle smiled and said, "No, I just often hear Gna talk about it." I said, "What do you say about me?" The uncle said, "It is said that the son is far-reaching, literate and talented, and often deliberates for the king." I smiled and said, "I have won awards and awards, but I have gossip with the king from time to time, and I have never discussed for the king." ”

Then, Gna's mother asked, "How old is the child?" I said, "It's twenty-two." The aunt said, "Have you ever been kind?" I hesitated for a moment and said, "Not yet." When the aunt heard this, she smiled and said, "My family Gna is nineteen years old, smart and dexterous, warm and reasonable, and still in the boudoir." Before the aunt's words were finished, Gna scolded her coquettishly, "Mother is just afraid that she will quickly sweep her daughter away?" The aunt smiled, "Men should get married, women should get married, yin and yang match, naturally." Mother just hopes that you will marry a favorite Langjun as soon as possible. ”

It didn't take long for the rice to be ready, naturally with fried icefish, dry and sweet apricot meat and sweet wine. After eating, my uncle couldn't wait to take me out to visit the mountains and enjoy the scenery. This is actually a kind of folk custom of heavenly hospitality. Because the people here have enough food and clothing, it has become the most common etiquette for people to take guests to enjoy the scenery.

Gna's father took me through the apricot grove, up the slope, and along the side of the hill to watch. It is full of woods, endless and lush, and every now and then a stream flows through the forest with the sound of gurgling water. I don't know how many woods I had walked, and when I saw that the sun had sunk to the west, I told Gna's father that it was time for me to go back. Uncle insisted that I stay here for a few days, and said that he would take me to deeper, farther, and more beautiful places tomorrow. I told again and again that I was going back, and that I would stay for a few days in a few days. Gna's father brought me out of the woods.

Back at Gna's house, Gna and her mother were looking at each other, but they were talking. When they saw us returning, the mother and daughter got up and greeted us. I told Mother Gna that I was going back. Gna's mother was a little upset, saying that I hadn't eaten her almond porridge yet. I said I'll come back next time, and it's not too late to eat. Gna's father was afraid that I would go back too late, so he asked Gna to take me on my way. I thanked Gna's parents for their warm hospitality, and then I took my leave.

After walking with Gna through the creek into the woods, I asked Gna, "I'm afraid you're not going back to the vineyard?" Gna hesitated a little and said, "This matter is very difficult, if you don't go, you miss it, and if you go, you will be shameless." I said, "The matter is over, but please return as soon as possible, or the girls of the vineyard will blame me, and make Longhua uneasy." Gna thought for a moment and said, "In this way, Gna has to think twice." ”

Walking and talking, I arrived at the foot of Northridge Mountain unconsciously. This is where I should part with Gna. We stood opposite each other for a while, and Gna asked, "The separation is imminent, if Childe has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." Of course, I had something to say, but I didn't know how to speak, and when Gna mentioned it, she said, "It's just because I think about the girl day and night, and I can't stop it, so I come here today to see her, and I think about it, and this is one of them." The second is to thank the girl for saving her in distress. Gna said with a faint smile. Childe doesn't actually need to thank him, even if I'm not there, Yunbu won't hurt Childe. ”

I nodded slightly and said, "What the girl said is very true, and Longhua will not forget it." It's just that Longhua wants to know what the girl's mind is. Gna sighed softly, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "Gna has a desire for a son, but she can't bear to be wronged. Now that Yunbu is under torture, Gna doesn't want to make his heart bitter. If Gna's heart is in the clouds, the son will be sad. Therefore, Gena would rather be impartial and make Gongzi and Yunbu go their own way. ”

I can understand the meaning of Gna's words, and I know her as a person: Yunbu is now in prison, and she will certainly not add to his suffering mentally. If I ever pestered Gna again, I'm afraid even Gna would look down on me. Thinking like this, I was ruthless and said, "The girl has a noble heart, so that Longhua is ashamed." Long Hua knew that Yun Bu was punished for Long Hua's crime, and he was still uneasy. Although Longhua loves the girl's life, in order not to make the girl in a dilemma, and to repay Yunbu's punishment, Longhua wishes the girl and Yunbu to be good and spend a hundred years together. ”

Gna listened, lowered her head, and after a long time, she said, "I'm so afraid that I've wronged my son, and I can't obey my fate." As she spoke, tears fell from Gna's face. I was afraid that I would not be able to help but soften my heart, so I said, "The husband has made up his word, and the horse is difficult to chase, Longhua has made up his mind and will never regret it." With that, I turned over and got on my horse, and said goodbye, "The girl is precious, and there will be a period later." Gna couldn't cry at this time, but said, "Take care, Childe", and threw herself on the tree by the roadside. I knew that at this time, I must not be short of breath and have a long love for my children, so I galloped away on horseback.

When I ran to the glacier in one go, I found that I was already in tears. Looking at the brilliant clouds at sunset and the ice and snow mountains in the distance, I felt that I had made an earth-shattering, sacred feat of weeping ghosts and gods, and my image suddenly became tall and fruitful. As a result, a warm current of joy and warmth rippled in my heart, and I was extremely moved.
