Chapter 33: The Grass Dragon and the Snake (II)

This is a small wooden house, and along the way, most of the houses of the villagers in the valley are of this style, and few have built more than two floors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cheng Shifei walked into the house and found that the furnishings of the main hall were very simple, a few chairs, a few small stools, a boxy table, and a wooden plate on the table, on which was placed a ceramic kettle, covered with several sand cups. On either side of the room, there are three wooden doors in different positions, which are obviously the bedrooms. There is a small gate opposite the gate, and behind it is supposed to be a place for cooking.

Chang Yunhai poured a cup of herbal tea for Cheng Zheng, handed it to him and said, "Brother, wait a minute, when the younger brother cooks these two pheasants, you and I will have a good drink." “

Cheng Shifei wanted to help, and said: "Brother Xian, I walk the rivers and lakes for my brother, and I often cook wild meat by myself, and I will help you for my brother." “

Chang Yunhai waved his hand and said: "How can it be so, brother, you are a guest from afar, if you are asked to cook, don't I always know how to be polite?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, he went straight to the inner room, obviously going to work on the stove in the inner room.

Cheng was helpless, so he had to sit down and drink tea slowly.

As the herbal tea slowly entered his stomach, there was a feeling of coolness in his abdomen, and he only felt that his drowsy mind was more awake due to the continuous drinking for several days.

After a few days of displacement and self-abandonment, he had completely calmed down in his heart after a fight with Chang Yunhai.

Smart and open-minded like him, he already knew that it was completely impossible for him to be with Ye Lingbo, but now Ye Lingbo's marriage made him completely cut off the last bit of delusion. After the heart-rending pain in my heart, I finally saw it.

Although the figure of the woman who danced like a fairy still could not be forgotten, from then on, he would never take the initiative to appear in his life again, but would only stand aside and silently bless her, hoping that she could be happy.

It's just that if Yang Shen, the son of that family, dares to lose to Ling Bo one day, then if he doesn't want to fight for this life, he will make that person pay the price.

Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside: 'Yunhai, I came back from the capital, and this time I failed the test again, those damn families ......"

Cheng Shifei turned his head to look, only to see a young man in a cyan Confucian shirt walking in from the outside, although this person's face is not handsome, but the facial lines are quite soft, it looks quite pleasing to the eye, his eyes are clear, and he knows that he is a very assertive person at a glance.

The man was also a little surprised when he saw right and wrong, and couldn't help but stop the words in his mouth, bowed to him, and said: "This brother is polite, dare to ask Brother Tai's surname, where is my brother Yunhai?" ”

Cheng Shifei saw this person saluting him, he was not an arrogant person, he quickly stood up, hugged his fists and returned the etiquette of a Jianghu person, and said: "Brother Tai is invited, in the next Cheng Cheng is wrong, invited by Brother Yunhai to come here as a guest, Brother Yunhai is busy in the kitchen." “

The man lost his voice and said, "Success? Brother Tai Mo is not a well-known 'tragic sword' on the rivers and lakes?"

There was no sadness or joy on the face of right and wrong: "Brother Tai has a good reputation, and friends on the rivers and lakes have shown love, and they have indeed given me such a nickname." ”

There was a faint look of admiration on the man's face: "Brother Cheng walks the rivers and lakes, his martial arts are strong and jealous of evil, I heard that he has eradicated evil many times, and he does not admire power, he has refused the solicitation of the gate lord family many times, and he does not bend his waist for fame and wealth, which has always been admired by his subordinates." ”

Cheng Shifei shook his head: "Martial arts are strong or something, it's just that friends on the rivers and lakes show love, as for jealousy and hatred, it's really a matter of duty, it's not worth mentioning." As for rejecting the family gatekeeper, it's not because I really don't like fame and fortune, it's just because I'm really wild and can't stand too many constraints. ”

He said again: "By the way, Cheng Mou is rude, and he hasn't asked his brother Taigao's name?" ”

The man became famous in the world when he saw that he was a young man but did not see the slightest self-congregation, and his words were frank, and he did not flicker or show the slightest disdain when talking about fame and fortune, and he couldn't help but feel good, and said: "Don't dare to be, here is the son of the village chief, surnamed Hu Taiqing." ”

Cheng said: "I heard Brother Hu come back from the capital just now, and there is no doubt that Brother Hu is dressed as a scholar, could it be that he has just participated in the imperial examination in the capital?" ”

Before Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo got married, Chang'an, the capital, had just held a triennial examination, so Cheng Cheng had this question.

Hu Taiqing said: "What my brother said is correct. “

He was honest and honest when he saw right and wrong, and he was impressed in his heart, so he unconsciously commensurate himself with his eldest brother.

Then he let out a wry smile: "But he never got hit, which made the eldest brother laugh." “

Cheng Shifei said disapprovingly: "Today, it is extremely difficult for the children of the poor family to get ahead, although there is a way to take the imperial examination, but most of them are controlled by the family gate, even if the brother is talented, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass the examination." ”

Hu Taiqing said with some indignation: "The traitorous ministers are in charge, the family has power, and we and other children of the poor family have the heart to serve the country but have no way, and the family is the silverfish of the country!" “

Cheng Shifei was just about to say a few words of persuasion, but he heard a laughing voice from behind the main house: "Lao Hu, you are so angry, but you are not afraid to make the Chang family brother laugh!" “

The voice was still there, and Cheng Shifei and the two of them smelled a burst of meat fragrance on the tip of their noses, but they saw Chang Yunhai holding a big basin in one hand and a jar of wine in the other, and walked in with a smile.

Hu Taiqing pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, you Chang Yunhai, I went home after I fell off the list, not only did you not say anything to comfort, but laughed at me, what is the reason!" “

Chang Yunhai smiled and said nothing, he knew that since Hu Taiqing was in the mood to complain to others, he no longer minded about falling off the list.

But this is also a matter of course, his childhood friend has fallen to Sun Shan, not once or twice, and he should have gotten used to it.

When he came to the table, Cheng and Fei found that in addition to a large bowl of chicken, there were also two small dishes in the basin, the dishes were bright and steaming, obviously Chang Yunhai had just fried.

He took out three pairs of chopsticks and three large bowls from the basin, obviously even Hu Taiqing's share had already been prepared.

It turned out that he had profound internal skills, and he could hear Hu Taiqing's arrival and the conversation with Hu Taiqing in the kitchen.

Chang Yunhai, as the master, poured wine into the sea bowl of the three of them, and said to Hu Taiqing first: "Old Hu, Brother Cheng is a friend I met by chance, he is arrogant, and I am really familiar with him at first sight." ”

Then he said to Cheng right and wrong: "My brother turned out to be a famous figure in this world, but my younger brother I don't know Mount Tai, so I punish myself." ”

As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.

The origin of right and wrong, he heard it clearly in front of the stove.

Cheng Shifei shook his head and said: "It's just a false name, it's very useful, I really met an existence that I can't resist, and this false name is useless." ”

When Chang Yunhai heard this, he noticed that there seemed to be something unspeakable, and couldn't help asking, "What is there to do about my brother?" You might as well say it and let the little brother and the old man listen to it, even if we can't help, brother, you can relieve the depression in your heart a little. ”

Cheng Shifei does have a desire to talk, he and Chang Yunhai hit it off at first sight, and felt that Hu Taiqing was not a villain, they were all characters worth communicating, so he told the story of his bitter love for Ye Lingbo.

From the two meeting in Huashan, they were shocked by them, to the rejection of their confession, to leaving in disgrace, and finally hearing about Ye Lingbo's marriage in the capital and blocking Yang Shen's welcoming team, these things were all said without omission.

This confession is a whole time of tea. After finishing speaking, Cheng Shifei actually had a feeling of relief and refreshment.

Sharing some sad things with friends can really help to soothe your mind.

Hu Taiqing sighed and said: "These gate valve families, even if they will win over talented people like Brother Cheng and you on the surface, in fact, they only have the idea of using and giving alms, and they don't really take us seriously at all. “

He thumped the table with hatred: 'These silverfish, who only exploit the people's fat and cream, will sooner or later die from their greed. “

Cheng Shifei shook his head slightly: 'What's the benefit of complaining about others? After all, it is because someone is not strong enough, if I have the strength of today's Shaolin abbot Master Zhiqing, how can the Yang family dare to treat me as nothing? “

Master Zhiqing, the abbot of Shaolin, is one of the three great martial arts masters in the world, and is known in the world as the "spear god" Hutu Mountain and the "jade flute fairy" Xiao Nushi.

Chang Yunhai said lightly: "Old Hu, since you and your brother think that the family gate valve is a great disaster, do you want to change this phenomenon?" ”

Hu Taiqing said dejectedly: "It's not easy to talk about, if the gate valve family is so easy to defeat, Your Majesty would have done it a long time ago." ”

He is right, when it comes to guarding against the family and the gate valve, there is no one in the world today more than the emperor Li Shimin. The family of gate valves is a group of leeches that are attached to the imperial power and suck the blood of the people all over the world. If they are not eliminated for a day, the emperor's rule will be poisoned for one more day.

But as early as the time of the previous dynasty, the family of gate valves is able to rule the world with the emperor of the transcendent existence, although the Mengyuan period was suppressed, but it was not destroyed, after the establishment of the dynasty, they were exhausted in just a hundred years, and now it has reached an unprecedented peak. Nine out of ten officials in the world are from the family, and there are only a handful of people who are from poor families. No matter how much the Li emperors of the past dynasties tried their best, they could only delay but could not completely change the trend of the dynasty gradually being encroached upon by them.

Chang Yunhai's words were loud: "If you don't try, how do you know that it must not work?" The reason why many things in this world are thought to be impossible is not that they are not really impossible, but that people tend to be afraid of difficulties and do not take action. “

When he said this, his expression was extremely flat, but the thoughts faintly revealed in his words were shocking.

Chang Yunhai really needed great courage to say such a thing.

Hu Taiqing was shocked and said, "Yunhai, you're not serious, are you?" Do you really want to do it? ”

Cheng Zhifei stared at the strange light: 'Does the virtuous brother have such great ambitions?' I'm ashamed of my brother, and I'm so admirable! “

Chang Yunhai suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "My brother has a good reputation, and my younger brother actually knows that this is just my little brother's wishful thinking, and if you want to do this, it is almost impossible to do it in this peaceful and prosperous world."

Hu Taiqing laughed and said: "Where there is a will, there is a way, as long as there is an idea, there is nothing that cannot be done." Yunhai, you have this kind of thought, if you want to do it in the future, I, Hu someone, will definitely fully support you. '

Chang Yunhai's heart was moved, wanting to shake the situation of the rule of the gate valve family, it was almost impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, Hu Yunhai wanted to help him without thinking, such a high friendship really made him not know how to say good.

He smiled and said casually: "We are still just talking to ourselves, as long as the world is still peaceful, the rule of the gate lords and nobles will not be shaken by anyone." “

Cheng Shifei's tiger eyes shot out an extremely powerful essence, and said a shocking sentence: "What if the world is not peaceful? ”

Chang Yunhai and the two of them were shocked in their hearts.

Hu Taiqing's voice was a little hoarse: "Why did my brother say this? ”

It was still daylight outside the window, but he had a feeling of seeing a ghost.

If the world is not peaceful, then ......

Cheng Shifei's voice was low, and he slowly spoke: "The two virtuous brothers don't know, since the debut of the elder brother, he has traveled all over the north and south of the river in the past six years, and what he has seen and heard is really shocking!" This world is not at all what the government advertises, and it is still a peaceful and prosperous world. As long as there is a little spark, there may be a great shock in this world, and the country and society may be overturned overnight. ”

Before the last words were finished, Hu Taiqing's heart suddenly jumped up, and he ran to the door very quickly, he looked around for a while, and then slowly walked back with a sigh of relief.

If Cheng Shifei's words are heard by outsiders, the three of them are guilty of raiding their families and destroying their clans, so it is no wonder that he is so cautious.

Chang Yunhai patted him on the shoulder: "Old Hu, you don't have to worry, with the skills of me and Brother Cheng, if someone is eavesdropping outside, unless the skills are far above us, we will not be able to fill us at all." If he can really hide from us, then that man will be indescribably terrifying, and it is useless to be cautious and cautious to take our lives. “

Hu Taiqing smiled bitterly: "I'm too nervous, this topic makes me dizzy." ”

Chang Yunhai laughed: "Lao Hu, you often boast that although you are a weak scholar on weekdays, your courage is by no means under my martial arts, why are you cowardly at this time?" “

Hu Taiqing smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to answer.

He really didn't dare to be careless about the seizure of his family and extermination.

Cheng Shifei said suddenly: "I have to see two virtuous brothers today, the sea of clouds is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, arrogant and dry, although Hu Xiandi is a weak scholar, but he also does not lose the courage of a man, Cheng and you are like each other at first sight, and I am willing to marry you as brothers of the opposite sex, what do you think?" ”

Chang Yunhai and the two were overjoyed when they heard it, they were heroes in the world, famous in Kyushu, and it was really a happy and proud thing to be able to recognize them.

The three of them each picked up a bowl of wine, knelt opposite each other in this room, and said loudly: "I am willing to become brothers of the opposite sex (Chang Yunhai and Hu Taiqing), and from now on share blessings and misfortunes, not seeking to be born on the same day, the same month, but the same day, but to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year!" If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

After making the vows, the three of them clinked glasses, drank the wine in the glass, raised their heads, and smiled at each other. Brotherhood is all in plain sight.
