Chapter 43: Flying Feathers
Zuo Yin looked at the dust in the room, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, no way, if you clean it now, I don't know when it will be finished, and I will have to get up early tomorrow to hurry.
At that moment, he heard footsteps rustling at the gate of the courtyard. Listening to the voice, someone was entering the courtyard, Zuo Yin was a little vigilant in his heart, secretly held the saber on his waist with his left hand, and quietly walked towards the door of the old house.
Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, I heard a young man's voice ringing in the courtyard:
"Is it Zuo Yin?"
Although there was a slight change in his voice, Zuo Yin remembered it at once, he hurriedly walked to the door of the old house, but saw that under the moonlight, the fat man who liked to call himself "Ben Shao" was standing in the courtyard, only a little restrained.
Seeing his friend who he hadn't seen for nine months, Zuo Yin was sincerely happy in his heart, he walked up, gently smashed Wang Feiyu's shoulder with his fist as before, and said with a smile:
"Wang Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time."
That's right, the big name of the fat man surnamed Wang is called Wang Feiyu, and with his size, he has an inexplicable sense of humor, and his body shape has not changed much in the past nine months.
Wang Feiyu heard Zuo Yin's teasing, and muttered: "Zuo, General Zuo, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zuo Yin heard Wang Feiyu's respect and alienation, he looked down and saw the red light armor on his body, and understood the reason, Zuo Yin immediately raised his head and said:
"Feiyu, no matter what my Zuo Yin is, the relationship between you and me is the same as before."
Wang Feiyu heard the solemnity and sincerity in Zuo Yin's tone, and was a little embarrassed at the moment, he scratched the back of his head and said: "This, I also know this, but when I first met you, I found that you have changed a lot, so I have to call it that." ”
Changed a lot? Zuo Yin is a little clear, people who practice martial arts, their spirit and spirit are different from ordinary people after all, not to mention that he has experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and it is normal for his external temperament to be different from nine months ago.
Zuo Yin said with a smile: "I have experienced a lot in the past nine months, and some changes are normal, but my attitude towards you, a fat man, has not changed." ”
The title of the fat man obviously made Wang Feiyu a little dissatisfied, and he complained: "What a fat man, I have lost a lot of weight now than before, and with the daily exercise, this is called 'strong' now." ”
In the midst of these small bickering, the originally somewhat sparse friendship was revitalized, and the two couldn't help laughing.
Wang Feiyu seemed to suddenly think of something, clapped his hands, and explained: "Boss Li went to the neighborhood for some things, so it is estimated that you will not be able to see it this time." ”
Zuo Yin was a little nostalgic, although he said that he entered Cangnan, he later learned that it was Lin Xiuwen's recommendation, not Boss Li who he had always thought.
But even so, during the time when his grandfather died, it was also the aftermath that Boss Li helped to cook, and at the same time, there were many preferential prices for the herbs he picked, and he kept these kindnesses in his heart.
Seeing that Zuo Yin was a little distracted, Wang Feiyu climbed Zuo Yin's shoulder as before, and said, "I was supposed to clean up the house for you, but the blacksmith shop is really busy, and I am now busy with the master every day, you forgive me." ”
Zuo Yin smiled: "It's okay, it's just some weeds and dust, but then again, are you in the blacksmith shop now?" ”
"Well, I'm gone from Boss Li." After explaining, Wang Feiyu hugged Zuo Yin's shoulders and said, "Let's go, go to my house to sleep tonight, my father and mother have slept at this point, you and I just go in quietly." ”
Zuo Yin remembered something, "You wait for me." Then he walked into the old house in three steps and two steps, and his grandfather's spiritual seat was enshrined in the main hall.
Looking at the spiritual position, Zuo Yin seemed to think of the kind old man again, although he was always silent, but the scene when imparting herbal knowledge, Zuo Yin could not forget it in his life.
Wang Feiyu didn't come in, leaving this solitude to Zuo Yin.
After Zuo Yin came out of the old house, he beckoned to Wang Feiyu and said, "Let's go." ”
The two of them then moved in the alley under the moonlight, the cold winter wind blew and whirred, the shadows of the trees mottled in the moonlight, and the chuckling of the two teenagers brought a touch of life to the night.
The next morning, Zuo Yin woke up on time as before, and then began to meticulously tidy up his armor, Wang Feiyu originally wanted to lie in bed, his anger was obviously a little big, but thinking that Zuo Yin was leaving, he still gritted his teeth and struggled to get up.
Zuo Yin cleaned himself up, looked at Wang Feiyu and said with a smile: "Come on, if you really can't say goodbye here, anyway, there will be a chance to meet in the future." ”
Wang Feiyu was tempered, bared his teeth and said: "What kind of person do you think of Ben Shao, don't you just get up, what's so difficult about this." But he completely ignored the heavy sleepiness on his face.
Zuo Yin couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, at this time, a rush of footsteps came, and then a middle-aged woman poked her head out of the door of the room between the two and shouted: "Wang Feiyu, get up quickly, Zuo Yin is leaving, you are still lying on the bed, you are still young, who do you think you are, Young Master Lin Xiuwen of the Lin family?" ”
The middle-aged woman was Wang Feiyu's mother, her face was a little dark in the kitchen, but her eyes were full of energy, and she was obviously a capable person.
was ridiculed by his own mother in front of his friends, Wang Feiyu was a little embarrassed, and he was dissatisfied: "Mother, if you want to cook, go and do it, I'm already getting up." ”
The middle-aged woman directly ignored her son's quibbles, she looked at Zuo Yin, and said with a smile: "Zuo Yin, your aunt and I went to bed early last night and didn't see you, don't be surprised." ”
Zuo Yin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Auntie, where is it, just staying at your house for a night, and rubbing a meal, auntie, don't mind." ”
The middle-aged woman was a little dissatisfied with Zuo Yin's politeness, and said directly: "What's polite, over the years, your grandfather has also given me a lot of herbs, and I also want to repay this kindness, aunt, you just treat this place as your home, alas, it would be good if Feiyu's child had half of your interest." ”
Wang Feiyu was already dressed at this time, and he complained: "Out of breath? I'm doing well now, at least I'm happy with myself. ”
After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Zuo Yin to wash and escaped from his mother's preaching.
Wang Feiyu's father went out to work early in the morning, although it was in Qingshan City, but the people at the bottom worked early after all. When Zuo Yin left the Wang family, Wang Feiyu and his mother were going to send it, but Zuo Yin resolutely refused, but Zuo Yin had no way to refrain from the "kindness" of the Wang family, so he had to accept it.
When Zuo Yin appeared at the door of the Lin Mansion with a package wafting with a faint smell of food, he saw that the convoy was already preparing.
Lin Xiuwen looked at his outfit and said with a smile: "A package of food, you have to refuel on the road." There seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude in his words.
Zuo Yin was a little helpless, but Lin Xiuwen's "teasing" made him a lot closer to him, and only at this time did Zuo Yin realize that Lin Xiuwen was just a big brother a few years older than him, and he still had a bit of a juvenile heart after all.
Wu Jing was talking to Lin Hong at this time, Lin Hong was still like yesterday, holding the reins of Wu Jing's war horse, and as the entire convoy was sorted out, under the leadership of Lin Hong, a long dragon began to set off slowly.
Just walked a few steps, but saw that Zhao Jinxi, the county lieutenant of Qingshan City, also rushed over, but it was obvious that Zhao County Lieutenant was not sleeping well, and the color of his eye circles was not very healthy. I don't know if it's because of Wu Jing's arrival, which has put too much pressure on the first person in Qingshan City.
Zhao Jinxi came to Wu Jing, arched his hands, and was about to say something, but Wu Jing waved his hand, making Zhao Jinxi's words swallow.
Wu Jing said: "Okay, it's not difficult to be County Lieutenant Zhao, I Wu Jing has taken it, and in the next short distance, I, Wu Jing, want to go with Lin Hong, and County Lieutenant Zhao doesn't mind." ”
Where did Zhao Jinxi dare to say more, he bent down directly and said: "Zhao Jinxi sent Wei Guogong to him." ”
The convoy began to set off slowly, and the winter morning was still relatively cold, and the light was late. At this moment, the sky has just brightened, and the reddish morning glow indicates that today is a rare good weather, and it seems that we can travel more.
The only people who came to see him off today were Lin Hong and Lin Xiuwen, but neither the host nor the guest took these things to heart.
After the convoy walked out of the north gate of Qingshan City, there were only team members left, and it is estimated that the people of Qingshan City also knew the current situation, and it was not good to argue with the Wei Guogong, so most of them delayed the time to go out.
Wu Jing looked at the fact that there were no outsiders around, looked at Lin Hong who was leading the horse in front, and said slowly:
"Zhao Jinxi is not a simple person."
Lin Hong didn't look back, "The first few county lieutenants of Qingshan City either beat me Lin Hong secretly, or pinched their noses and went along with the dirt, most of them couldn't do it for long, only this Zhao Jinxi, who was stoic, although he turned a blind eye to me, he collected a lot of things in private." ”
Wu Jing smiled: "You don't have to be modest. ”
Lin Hong said helplessly: "Duke Wu, those people of mine are not Cangnan Army, most of them are ruffians and hooligans, I gathered them together with brotherly righteousness, which is already very good, as long as it is not too out of line, I can't say anything." ”
Wu Jing's face was relieved, "Among those people in the guard camp back then, you Lin Hong didn't charge into battle, but it was too straight, and after all these years of training, it was not bad." ”
Lin Hong sighed, "I'm old, not as good as Gong Wu, now I only hope that Xiuwen can take over these affairs of the Lingnan Gang in a down-to-earth manner, although Xiuwen has a heart, but his heart is too big, I'm afraid it won't end well at that time." ”
Wu Jing knew what Lin Hong wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Come on, for the sake of your Lin Hong's face, I will let people take care of it, if you want to do that, just rest assured to do it." ”
Lin Hong turned around and glanced at Wu Jing seriously, bowed his fist and said solemnly: "In this way, Duke Wu takes care." ”
Wu Jing also seemed to be a little emotional, "You be careful all the way." ”
When the two of them were talking all the way, only Gongsun Tao followed behind him slowly and leisurely, and the others were some distance away, and when they saw Lin Hong stop, everyone knew that the time had come.
Lin Xiuwen has been following Zuo Yin's side, silent, still wearing the slightly bloated black brocade clothes from yesterday, but in the morning light, it has a bit of majestic.
Lin Xiuwen saw his father stop, turned his head to Zuo Yin and said, "Zuo Yin, I'll send it here, be careful all the way." ”
Ordinary people have a smooth journey to say goodbye, but Lin Xiuwen is careful all the way, although he is a little curious, Zuo Yin still clenched his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Lin for taking care of Zuo Yin." With that, he began to ride his horse forward.
The whole convoy began to move forward, and when Lin Lao passed by Lin Xiuwen, he glanced at him as if he was nothing, but Lin Xiuwen did not shy away from it, staring at Lin Lao with a light smile.
Lin Lao said inexplicably: "Lin Hong actually taught a son like you, it's really rare, you want to help Zuo boy in the future?" ”
Lin Xiuwen still had that smile, but his eyes were as quiet as water, and he said:
"Then it depends on whether his Zuo Yin can convince me Lin Xiuwen."
