One day, Li Tianlin returned to Hanxuan Cave after practicing, and went to find the blue-clothed fairy, but he couldn't find her anywhere, he called around, and saw two lines of words left on the mountain wall: "Tianlin, you have cultivated the self-defense immortal method, don't find my whereabouts in the future, and don't leak the things I taught you to others, I hope you will do it yourself." ∈↗," Li Tianlin waved his sword to cut off the handwriting on the mountain wall, and said, "This fairy is really strange, I haven't worshiped her as a teacher, why did she leave?" He flew on the top of the mountain peak, and said in his heart: "Wei Jianqing's thief took away the master's robe, and it was not enough for the master to almost die, and the master must take back those two treasures to be ashamed." He jumped up and set up a journey to Yunnan.
When he arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, he landed invisibly, and saw the Qingcheng disciples running back and forth, guarding the Treasure Pavilion extremely tightly. He escaped into the Treasure Pavilion, took the water and fire robe, and the poison hairpin, got out of the Treasure Pavilion, and flew down the mountain. He had the heart to go back and play tricks on Wei Jianqing and Lu Yueshuang again, but thinking that he had already retrieved the two treasures, he was in a hurry to go to Erlong Mountain to meet Xie Yinglong and his party, so he had to put this deep hatred aside for the time being, and talk about it later. He put on a robe of fire and water, put on a poison-repellent hairpin, and flew eastward.
He traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, played for several days, and came to Hebi City. At this time, it is the spring of March, the scenery is very good, Li Tianlin wandered in the city for half a day, felt bored, flew to the bank of a big river outside the east city, saw that the scenery here is pleasant, pleasing to the eye, he jumped on a big tree, leaned on the thick fork, enjoyed the scenery for a long time, and fell asleep unconsciously and fell asleep. Li Ye slept until a watch, suddenly heard a woman crying, he woke up in a dream, only to see a big boat parked on the shore, more than a dozen colored lights hung on the boat, the colored light was reflected in the river, very good-looking, more than a dozen bodyguards stood outside the cabin. He listened carefully, and then heard a woman in the cabin crying intermittently: "Brother, since you left Zhangjiazhuang, the whole county has suffered three years in a row. You have no books, no letters, and my sister still doesn't know where you are; Sister-in-law, if you insist on refusing to borrow food, you will lead me to this dead end; Xianggong, you shouldn't, you shouldn't sell me to others; Bao Tong, Aiqin, Mom's heart and liver, Mom doesn't know when she will be reunited with you again. Whining...... Woo......" Hearing the woman moan and cry all night, he was very sad in his heart, and he did not know what had happened to her.
After dawn, Li Tianlin wanted to find out the reason. He jumped off the tree and shouted to the owner, "Well, friends on board, how about we do business?" ”
Out of the cabin came a white-faced man, wearing a square scarf, a brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, leather boots, and a folding fan. He looked more than eight feet tall and was about thirty years old, and he glanced at the man shouting on the shore, and said, "This boy wants to do business with him." Why don't you get on the boat and talk? ”
Li Tianlin jumped forward, jumped on the deck with a "knock", hugged his fists and said: "I don't know my friend's surname, where is the fairy town." What is your current profession? ”
The man said, "This little brother is so straightforward, you might as well say it directly." My surname is Wu and my name is Guan Bao. Naijiang is a native of the country, who has been unemployed since he was a child, and loves to sell women. Not long ago, I spent eighty-five strings of copper coins in Xiangzhou to buy eighty-four good women, and as long as I returned to Jiangdu City, each woman could sell two hundred taels of silver. I don't know what the little brother is doing? ”
Li Tianlin said: "Li Tianlin in Luoyang, the four seas are his home, the rivers and lakes are wandering, and there is no fixed occupation. ”
"What business does the little brother want to do with Wu?" Wu Guanbao was suspicious.
"Hehe, no, I don't have a wife room yet, I want to buy a beautiful woman to go home with Your Excellency, I don't know if it?" Li Tianlin was quite ridiculous.
"Hehe, it's easy to say, Wu can sell you a woman cheaply, and the little brother can choose at will."
"Since Brother Wu is so bold, it is better for the younger brother to be respectful than to obey his fate." Li Tianlin entered the cabin and saw that there were eighty-four women sitting inside, and those women were surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, as long as any of them were restless, those soldiers would immediately step forward to stop them, and if someone wanted to rob the ship, those soldiers would quickly rush out to fight the enemy. After observing for a moment, Li Tianlin's eyes suddenly stayed on the face of a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young woman in Dongjiao, only to see her head in a bun, her face was pale, and her facial features were delicate, but a few tear stains were added to her handsome face, which gave her already haggard face an extra desolate expression; An old fuchsia gown was worn on her slender and well-proportioned body, which could not hide her perfect figure in the slightest; A pair of embroidered shoes wrapped around her two-inch golden lotus made this classical beauty a little more noble.
Li Tianlin expected that the person who complained at night was this young woman, so he pointed at her, looked at Wu Guanbao and said, "Brother Wu, can I talk to her for a few words?" ”
Wu Guanbao said: "Hehe, it's okay to chat, but whether to sell her or not has to be considered in the long run." ”
Li Tianlin picked up the beautiful woman and said: "This sister-in-law is crying sadly, I don't know who your surname is, where you live, what pain you have, can you tell me a word or two?" ”
The beautiful woman saw that Li Tianlin was beautiful and extraordinary, and she had no hostility towards herself, she burst into tears, and said miserably: "This son, the little woman's family lives in Linzhang County, Xiangzhou, and there is a family name on Zhangjiazhuang, my father's surname is Zhang Mingkeqin, and my mother is a good person, I have an elder brother named Zhang Chengjie, and my name is Zhang Xianglian." My brother married his wife Tian Yi'e, and I married Han Shilun, a talented man from Hanjiazhuang. Since my brother left the township, Linzhang County did not rain in the first year, did not see the sun red in the second year, and the seedlings were very good in the third year, but unfortunately the hail fell at dawn on July 14, and the crops were smashed into a pile of black water stems. The poor people of the city were in dire straits, complaining of misery for days, living without clothes and food every day, and people in the city were starved to death every day. In the past six months, a burial pit has been dug outside the city, and a market has been set up in the city, where a good woman is worth six hundred copper coins, a medium woman is worth half a liter of rice, no one wants a person over forty, and girls of sixteen or seventeen are all gone with people in vain. Other people's families can still make do with their lives, but I hate that my father-in-law is a poor talent, so he can only sit and eat and watch his family starve to death. One day, when I saw that my family was about to fall into a coma from hunger, my husband said to me, 'Lady, I am an incompetent person, I have no ability to support my family, and there is only one way to survive now. I asked: 'What way?' He said: 'Sell.' I was frightened and asked, 'Who to sell?' He said, "Bao Tong is the only bloodline of my Han family, and Aiqin can't sell it for much money, so he can only sell you." I said, 'Don't sell me yet, my mother's family is a rich family, as long as I go and borrow some food and come back, we can live in peace again.' He said: 'That is fine, as long as you can borrow the grain, I will not sell you.' So I came to Zhangjiazhuang with my pocket on my back, knocked on my sister-in-law's door, and asked her about borrowing grain, but she was afraid that I would not return it, so she said to me, 'Sister, sister-in-law has never had a good life since she passed your brother's door. Now that the second father and mother are old, your brother has not returned for three years, there are no letters, I am a woman with no income, and my life is extremely poor, where is the surplus food to lend to you? I advise you to borrow it from the side! I didn't believe it, so I said to her, 'Sister-in-law, your sister knows, otherwise let's go to your granary, and if it is really as you say, my sister will leave immediately.' The sister-in-law was furious, and said, 'Look at your beauty, how can anyone who wants to see my granary?' She pushed me out of the gate, and fell into the stone forest outside the gate of her house, breaking a piece of my arm. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white skin, and indeed there was a wound on her elbow, and there was a little dried blood on the edge of the wound. (To be continued.) )
