Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation.

Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost.

At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown, and I was dressing up in the small window. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears.

It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka.

--- "Jiangchengzi" Su Shi

In the blue sky and daylight, on the straight bluestone long street, a tall and thin man and a short and fat man are shuttling through the crowd one after the other.

The expressions on the faces of the two were a little impatient, and the pace was constantly picking up, as if they were in a hurry.

Suddenly, the tall and thin man in front of him turned around and shouted, "Hurry, hurry!" Eldest brother! If it's not soon, it's too late."

The short and fat man in the rear, seeing that he was struggling under his feet, said, "Second brother! You're doing a good job! You go get a seat first! Otherwise, we'll have to stand again! ”。

The tall and thin man raised his head and looked at the sky.

I guessed that there was still more than an hour before three quarters in the afternoon.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the big brother behind him.

Finally, after a moment of thought, he said.

"Big brother! Keep up, I'll take a seat first! ”。

After speaking, I saw him fly onto the roof along the street, in the direction of Xizi Lake, and swooped away.

……

A moment later, the figure flipped to the ground.

After the panting tall and thin man stood still, he found that the hall on the first floor of the Fulai Inn was already full of people, so he clenched his fists angrily, thinking that he was a step too late.

But he couldn't help it, even if he didn't have a place to sit, then he still had to stand.

So, he hurriedly stepped forward.

After entering the hall of the inn, the man first nodded to the old shopkeeper.

Then he began to look around at the square tables in the hall.

In the city of Hangzhou, the Fulai Inn on the shore of West Lake is the second largest inn built by the Mo family in the world.

It is only because of the excellent scenery and the endless flow of people in the rivers and lakes in the city of Hangzhou, so the Mo family does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy land and build buildings.

The inn covers an area of three acres and has more than 100 rooms.

There is a hall on the first floor, with 30 square tables.

The tall and thin man, frowning, carefully searched the hall to see if there were any seats available.

"Hey! These people, how did they come so early! ”。

He actually came here early today.

But when I came, I found that every table was already full of people.

He said very unhappily in his heart, "Could it be that all the people in the rivers and lakes have become so idle?" ”。

He and his eldest brother stood for a whole hour yesterday because they were a step late.

Therefore, he didn't expect that even if he came over earlier this time, there would still be no place.

However, just as he was frustrated about whether to continue standing, his gaze swept to a dim place in the far corner of the hall.

He saw that there were still a few places in that corner.

In ecstasy, he lifted his steps and walked directly towards the square table in the corner.

The footsteps slowed.

The tall and thin man also came to the square table in the corner.

He found that there was only one person sitting at the square table that could make eight people.

This person is wearing a black hooded cloak.

The hat on the cloak was pressed low and covered his eyes.

Except for his full beard, no one else could see any expression on his face.

The tall and thin man wanted to say hello or nod his head.

But he found that the other party didn't seem to pay attention to his meaning.

So he sat opposite each other with his back to each other and looked at the platform in the distance of the hall.

It's just that when he sat down, he realized why no one wanted to sit at the square table in this corner.

Because this square table is directly behind a staircase leading to the second floor.

Once you sit down, your view is blocked by the stairs, so much so that you can see anything on the platform.

But there is nothing to do, it is better to have a seat.

At this moment, outside the inn, the short and fat man from before finally walked in breathlessly.

After looking around, he found that the second brother had already found a seat, so he walked forward happily.

He first looked at the cloaked man at the table.

After finding that the other party didn't mean to raise his head, he sat down next to his second brother and said.

"Second brother! How did you choose such a seat? It's better to sit here than to stand! ”。

When the tall and thin man saw his eldest brother complaining, he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"Big brother, it's better to have a place than nothing!"

The short and fat man still said with an unhappy face, "Sit here, but you can't see anything!" ”。

However, as soon as he finished complaining, before his second brother could reply, he saw that everyone in the hall was looking at the staircase in front of them.

A man with a long sword on his back stood up directly, clapping and whistling.

After that, more and more people got up with their eyes shining brightly, clapping their hands and cheering.

At this moment, the attention of the audience will be concentrated on the wooden ladder.

….

"Click"

"Click"

"Click"

With the sound of footsteps, the figure of the protagonist appeared in everyone's sight.

In fact, the protagonist who is expected by countless people in the rivers and lakes is just an ordinary woman.

She didn't have the glamorous and gorgeous clothes that the Qinglou women were wearing.

Just in addition to a long white dress, a green silk dress was put on.

She also doesn't have the infatuated appearance of a woman in a green house.

It's just that her white face has a pair of big eyes and two deep dimples at the corners of her mouth.

She loves to laugh.

And after she laughs, the two dimples on her face, like a spring breeze, will have a magic that makes people want to laugh with her.

She had a smile on her face from the moment she appeared in the eyes of everyone.

It's not the kind of smile that looks back and smiles, but a smile that is approachable and comes from the heart.

In order to create a sense of distance for herself, the women in the Qinglou often deliberately hide their smiles.

So even if you smile, it's a trained smile that isn't real.

But her smile is indeed different.

She is more like a little sister of the leader, grinning at the big brothers next door.

As we all know, there are twelve top girls in the Huamanlou.

And every girl among them has a sad and compassionate past.

However, our protagonist has no such story.

She was neither born into a prince or nobleman, nor was she the child of a wealthy family.

On the contrary, everyone here knows that she is just a little girl born in a bitter family.

There are not so many tragic stories on her body.

But the reason why she is so popular with so many people is because she likes to tell other people's stories.

She is not a person in the rivers and lakes, and she does not know the slightest martial arts.

But she likes to tell stories, and they tell stories from the rivers and lakes.

Six months ago, she and her grandfather came to Hangzhou, and first in a small teahouse, telling stories.

Maybe it's because the stories they tell are all about the rivers and lakes, and they have a lot of listeners.

And this attracted the attention of the old shopkeeper of the Fulai Inn.

After listening to the stories told by the two several times, the old shopkeeper deliberately settled the grandfather and grandson in the inn and told the stories in the rivers and lakes to the people who came and went.

But unfortunately, just last month, her grandfather died of illness.

So, for the past month, she has been standing alone on the stage, telling stories to everyone in the audience.

"Little girl! The last time you talked about the past, I really felt a lot of emotion, and I can't get enough of it."

"Little girl! I'm going to tell you a story today! ”。

"yes, yes, little girl, you see everyone can't wait."

A cordial urging sounded.

In fact, what happened in this inn can already be regarded as an alternative thing.

After all, so many people in the rivers and lakes, some of whom may still be hidden masters, are willing to calmly listen to a woman who does not know martial arts to tell the affairs of the rivers and lakes. If this had been placed in the past, I am afraid that many people would not believe such a thing.

And after the urging fell, our little girl, shrugged her shoulders shyly and smiled, and walked to the small platform in front of everyone.

She first showed the two cute little dimples on her face and nodded at the old shopkeeper.

Then he faced everyone in the audience and spoke slowly.

"I'm going to tell you a story about the set over the next month!"

When everyone in the audience saw that the little girl was going to make up a series of stories, some people immediately shouted excitedly.

"Little girl, don't sell it! Tell us about the story of the series. ”。

The little girl looked at the man who spoke.

She pursed her lips first, then paused.

Finally, she looked at everyone and smiled.

"I'm going to tell you a story from 10 years ago!"
