"Mother, is my eldest brother really going to go on the expedition with my father this time?" Meng Guyun's words were full of eagerness.

"Big brother, are you really going to go on a campaign with your father?" Without waiting for Lin Qin to speak, Meng Guyun anxiously asked Meng Gufeng again.

"Of course it's true." Meng Gufeng looked excited, "Yun'er, when you grow up a few years old and learn martial arts well, you can also go out with your father like your eldest brother." "Dream Lonely Wind is very proud.

"Your brother is reluctant to you," Lin Qin glanced at his eldest son, "You two fathers and sons are people who don't know the cruelty of war," Lin Qin complained unconsciously, and then immediately stopped it, knowing that he shouldn't say this in front of his son, he turned to Meng Guyun and comforted him softly, but his eyes were still a little red, "Yun'er, your eldest brother just went out with your father to experience the experience this time, and he will come back in a short time." ”

"Yes, Yun'er, the eldest brother won't be going for long, come back and play with you and you." Meng Gufeng didn't notice his mother's subtle emotions, knowing that his younger brother was reluctant to himself, and his heart was also very warm, he wanted to come back and teach his younger brother martial arts, but knowing his younger brother's personality, he would inevitably make his younger brother unhappy, so he immediately changed his words.

Meng Guyun pursed his lips and stopped talking, thinking to himself that you are fools to me, my father only came back in four months last time, and this time I heard that I was going to some border, even if it didn't take four months, it would be more than two months. Although Meng Guyun is stubborn, it is not unreasonable to be deeply loved by Lin Qin, he is very knowledgeable at a young age, it seems that everything is just blindly coquettish and noisy, but in fact, he has his own trade-offs and judgments in his heart, this time from the expressions of his mother and eldest brother, he knows that he can't change it by being coquettish, even the eldest brother and mother can't handle it, let alone the father who basically doesn't eat his set. Meng Guyun is indeed very reluctant to dream of Gufeng, although he and the eldest brother have different temperaments, feel that the eldest brother is like a very father, especially principled, and does not know how to be flexible, but Meng Gufeng is really loving to his younger brother, humble everywhere, and caring about everything, now knowing that the eldest brother is going to go with his father, the more he thinks about it, the more sad he becomes, the more he thinks about it, the more reluctant he becomes, he actually hugged his brother and cried loudly, the tired Lin Qin and Meng Gufeng both panicked, and kept comforting him.

"Yun'er, we must go back to the house before Shen Shi, the eldest brother has to practice guns at night!" Meng Gufeng was very helpless. It turned out that Meng Guyun had been crying all the time, and finally coaxed it, and his younger brother no longer mentioned his own expedition, but begged him to take him to the market to play, Meng Gufeng couldn't stand his younger brother's begging, and he was about to go on the expedition, so he asked Lin Qin and got her permission, so just after lunch, Meng Guyun pulled his brother to set off quickly.

The two brothers came to the lively city street, with the tall city tower as the center, and the houses and shops on both sides are dotted around, including tea houses, wine shops, inns, butcher shops, temples, government offices, and so on. In addition, there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune telling, face trimming, plastic surgery, all walks of life, everything, the big shop door is also tied with colored silk, colored paper, etc., hang the market banner, solicit business, market pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, the river is endless, there are businessmen doing business, there are gentry who look at the street scene, there are officials on horseback, there are hawkers, there are family members who ride a sedan chair, there are monks who carry baskets, there are tourists from other places who ask for directions, There are children in the streets and alleys who have heard and heard stories, there are children of wealthy families who drink wildly in restaurants, there are disabled old people begging on the edge of the city, men, women and children, scholars, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything. Transportation vehicles: sedan chairs, ox and horse carts, rickshaws, Taiping carts, mule carts, all kinds of things. Painted in front of the two of them. Meng Guyun had already danced happily, and Meng Gufeng hadn't been to the market for a long time, and he was also very interested, patiently accompanying his irritable brother through the crowd and shops.

The two brothers walked out of the preserved fruit shop talking and laughing, and as soon as they went out of the door, they saw a hawker stall selling poultry full of people, chattering, gossiping and not lively, Meng Guyun itself is playful, Meng Gufeng also saw the childlike heart, and was dragged over by his younger brother to watch the excitement. Meng Gufeng squeezed into the crowd with his younger brother, stood in the noisy crowd for a while, and finally figured out the situation in the gossip of everyone. It turned out that this peddler caught a beautiful peacock in the mountains, and today he brought it to the market and sold it with his own poultry, but this middle-aged man who was still gorgeously dressed wanted to buy this peacock at the price of a rooster, and the peddler naturally did not agree, saying that it was a peacock and that it should be bought and sold at the market price. In fact, peacocks are very rare things in Daheng, there are not many wild ones, and it is extremely difficult to raise, mainly for the use of dignitaries and nobles, so it is normal to have a thousand dollars, and the good quality is even more expensive, and a rooster is only five dollars, obviously this middle-aged man wants to pit this hawker.

"Okay, since you said this is a peacock, you let it dance, otherwise this is a good-looking rooster, don't blame me for being rude if you pull and pull again." The middle-aged man saw that there were more and more onlookers, at this time he was holding the peacock, and the hawker had been desperately dragging him but not letting go, he was becoming more and more impatient in his heart, afraid that someone would be nosy, so he put down the peacock and said viciously to the hawker.

The hawker had no choice but to keep teasing the peacock, expecting him to open the screen and dance, but he couldn't do it, plus everyone watched, the peacock was frightened a lot, just sat on the ground, the more the hawker teased it, the more it didn't move. The onlookers were also anxious for the hawkers, but there was nothing they could do. Meng Gufeng also frowned, but he didn't have a good way, and he and his younger brother had special identities, so it was not good to use force openly.

"Haha, you see, it's just a rooster." The middle-aged man laughed and instructed his two men to stop the vendor, pick up the peacock and leave.

"Wait, I have a way to make it dance." Meng Guyun poked his head out of the crowd and shouted at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was startled at first, thinking that someone finally came out to meddle in things, but when he looked closely, it was just a child in his early tens, "Hmph, you stinky boy who hasn't grown any hair still dare to meddle, get out of the way, or I'll beat you together." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push Meng Guyun.

"Ahh Yes!! , it hurts, it hurts, you, you, hurry up and let go!! The middle-aged man screamed repeatedly, it turned out that Meng Gufeng grabbed his hand that was about to push Meng Guyun, and twisted you hard.

"Huh, let go?" Meng Gufeng snorted coldly, one hand continued to clasp the middle-aged man's wrist, and the other hand snatched the peacock from his hand and handed it to Meng Guyun, and the two servants of the middle-aged man were obviously also people who bullied the soft and feared the hard, although they saw that the master's hand was held by Meng Gufeng, but because of the power of Meng Gufeng, he didn't dare to do it immediately, just stood aside.

"Do you think you're a bully if you're good at kung fu? Help me? There are robbers bullying good people! The middle-aged man saw that Dream Gufeng was only a teenager, but he was extraordinary and luxuriously dressed, so he must not be a person to be messed with, so he played a scoundrel and shouted loudly, hoping that the other party would take care of his identity and no longer care about his own affairs.

This trick really worked, Meng Gufeng obviously didn't expect this person to be so brazen, playing a scoundrel with his eyes open, he took care of his identity and didn't want to cause more trouble, so he let go of the middle-aged man's wrist.

"Since my brother said that there is a way, there must be a way, if you stop it more, don't blame me for being polite." Meng Gufeng glanced at the middle-aged man in disgust, and pointed at his younger brother Meng Guyundao.

"Okay, then this kid. . . If this little brother can't make this hole.. If this rooster dances, you have to let this son go, and you can't stop it any more. The middle-aged man saw that Meng Gufeng took care of his face, and he really didn't want to entangle with himself on the street, so he quickly took advantage of the situation to make conditions, for fear that Meng Gufeng would regret it.

"Humph!" Meng Gufeng snorted, which was considered a promise, and then turned to Meng Guyun, hoping that his younger brother would indeed have a way to make the peacock dance.

"Brother, don't worry." Meng Guyun understood the meaning from his brother's eyes, patted his chest, and was full of confidence. With that, he slipped out of the crowd and ran towards the silk shop they had passed not far away. Meng Gufeng didn't know what medicine his brother was selling in his gourd, and he was afraid that the middle-aged man would run away, but fortunately, the silk shop was not far away, and it was within his sight, so he didn't have to worry too much about his brother getting lost.

After a while, Meng Guyun trotted back again, followed by a guy from a silk shop, holding a huge mirror, staggering after Meng Guyun, constantly panting in his mouth.

Meng Guyun got into the crowd, put the peacock in the middle of the crowd, let the onlookers spread out as much as possible, don't frighten the peacock, and then asked the guy in the silk shop to put the big mirror about five feet away from the peacock, so that the peacock and the big mirror face to face, and they can see themselves in the mirror.

At this time, the noisy crowd has quieted down, all carefully looking at the peacock in the crowd and the big mirror, I didn't expect the peacock to see himself in the mirror, actually stood up, obviously a lot of spirit, and then kept chirping, as if declaring war with himself in the mirror, slowly the chirping became louder and louder, obviously a strong sense of victory, constantly shaking his feathers, and suddenly unfolded the color screen on the tail, like a blue gauze palace fan, those eye spots on the tail feathers reflect the brilliance, plus the reflection of the mirror, More colorful. At this time, it continued to shake, and its chirping became more high-pitched, vowing to be superior to its peers in the mirror.

"It's so beautiful!" "This turned out to be a peacock!" "This little brother is so smart!" "That person is so shameless, he actually wants to cheat others with the price of a rooster!" "......" saw the peacock open the screen, and the crowd suddenly became noisy again, some admired, some were upset for the hawkers, and some praised Meng Guyun, and they talked about it.

Meng Gufeng was also overjoyed when he saw this, the peacock opened the screen to the big mirror, it was even more exciting than what he had seen before, his younger brother was eccentric, and the method he thought of was really effective, not only helped the hawker, but also let out a sigh, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the stunned middle-aged man, "What, don't you want to get out, don't you wait for me to arrest you and see the official?" ”

Seeing this, the middle-aged man knew that he was in trouble, and the other party himself seemed to be unable to provoke, and he didn't know how to end it.

At this time, Meng Guyun was accepting everyone's praise for him and the vendor's thanks to him, he was very proud, Meng Gufeng saw that it was already over, and he didn't want to make too much publicity, so he picked up the peacock and returned it to the vendor, and at the same time thanked the guy in the silk shop, and troubled him to move the mirror back, and at the same time beckoned the crowd to disperse, don't continue to watch, and affect others.

Everyone gradually dispersed under the greeting of Meng Gufeng, and the vendor held the peacock and thanked the two brothers of Meng Gufeng and Meng Guyun, Meng Gufeng was very unaccustomed, and after a polite salute, he dragged Meng Guyun and prepared to leave.

"Two little brothers, slow down!" Meng Gufeng and his younger brother were only a few feet away from the hawker's stall, and they were suddenly stopped by a deep voice behind them.

Meng Gufeng heard the call, turned his head, and it turned out to be a man in a white shirt dressed as a bachelor to stop him. Meng Gufeng looked at this person carefully, the man in the white shirt was in his fifties, more than eight feet long, with a square jaw, clear eyes, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, a grandmaster's demeanor, a shallow smile on his face, and a friendly observation of the two Meng Gufeng brothers.

"Sir stopped my two brothers, I don't know what to say." Meng Gufeng observed carefully, although the man in the white shirt was dressed as a scholar, he had broad shoulders and a round waist, and his hands were calloused, and he was obviously also a martial arts practitioner. At this time, he stopped himself and his younger brother, and he didn't know what to do, so he saluted with both hands and respectfully asked for advice. Meng Guyun originally didn't want to pay attention to the visitors, but when he saw his brother saluting, he had to follow suit, his eyes glanced around, and he looked at the two people opposite, and then turned to the pedestrians on the street.

"The little brother is serious, we don't know each other, and the market is just a hurry, so I don't dare to talk about advice." The man in the white shirt returned the salute with both hands and said, "But I see that the little brother is dignified, the foundation is extraordinary, you are young, and you are quite chivalrous, and the future is bound to be limitless," he said and turned to Meng Guyun, "And this little brother is talented and clever, if he can temper it properly, he is a genius of the world, so he has an eventful heart." ”

"Sir, please speak clearly if you have something, please forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what Mr. means." Meng Gufeng was confused, I didn't know what was going on, could it be that it was the onlookers just now, just wanting to praise himself and his younger brother a few words?

"Little brother don't worry," the man in white shirt was not in a hurry, and said slowly, "In the next life, I like to travel, travel all over the four states and ten prefectures, read countless people, ask myself if I still have a certain opinion on knowing people, and I am not a false praise for the two little brothers." In addition to liking cloud travel, Zai Xia is also quite interested in astrological medicine, has studied for decades, and also has some doorways," and then suddenly his tone aggravated, pointing to Meng Guyun, "This little brother has a knotted forehead, and red tendons appear on the bridge of his nose, which is the appearance of a great murderer, and he has a fate today, so he has a few words." ”

"Since Sir can predict good luck and evil, there must be a way to resolve it, and I implore Sir to give him advice." Although Meng Gufeng himself does not understand the way of astrological medicine, he has a specialization in the art industry, and there are many strange people in the world, and the man in white shirt has a small voice, but it gives him an invisible persuasion, which makes him willing to believe; What's more, when it comes to his younger brother's safety, he is naturally even more anxious.

"Little brother, don't worry, although this phase is dangerous, it is not difficult to avoid it, as long as you don't leave the house for half a month."

"Is it that simple?" Meng Gufeng is still not at ease, "What kind of vision is there when the murderous appearance comes?" ”

"Little brother, you can rest assured, the most difficult way of astrological medicine is to predict, the simpler the method of cracking, the more effective it is, as for the vision, if the stone lion's eyes at the door of your mansion turn red, it is the most dangerous time, remember not to go out of the mansion." The man in the white shirt admonished.

"Thank you, sir, my brother and I will definitely keep it in mind." Meng Gufeng put his mind at ease, his mother has always been strict with himself and his younger brother, and he rarely goes out of the house, and it is not difficult to leave the house for half a month.

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, the astrological theory is inherently illusory, not to mention that the fate is ever-changing, how can it be predicted." Meng Guyun didn't believe it at all, and felt that the man in white shirt was simply alarmist and pretended to be mysterious.

"Yun'er, stop it!" Meng Gufeng scolded harshly, "Sir, my younger brother is young and ignorant, and he has offended a lot, please don't blame Mr. Meng Gufeng hurriedly apologized for his younger brother.

"Hehe, little brother doesn't have to worry about it, life is inherently ever-changing, ethereal, what your brother said is not bad, but many people in the world want to control and dominate their own destiny, isn't it inherently contradictory? That's why I say that everything has cause and effect, although a cause may not be a result, but cause and effect are inextricably linked to each other, so I say that everything is ever-changing, and the ethereal is relative, does the little brother think so? The man in the white shirt didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said softly to Meng Guyun.

Meng Gufeng didn't understand the meaning of the second half of the white-shirted man, but he just felt that this person's speech was very mysterious, and it must be a big deal, on the other hand, his younger brother Meng Guyun seemed to understand the meaning of the words, but his little face was flushed, and he didn't know how to refute it.

"Sir, dare to ask the high name and surname, when my brother survives this catastrophe, my two brothers will definitely repay each other."

"Meeting is fate, and we will meet again." After that, I went leisurely.
