An earthen wall.

A banner.

There were only two words on the banner: "Sheep madness".

Actually, it's not a restaurant, it's just a small food stall.

The stall was sandwiched between an alley, which was extremely desolate, with one wall recessed into half a room, and the stall keepers were in it.

And the food stall is in the open air.

There was a slip of table along the wall, and a few benches against the wall, so that you could raise your head and admire the grass stalks in the mud of the wall while eating haggis noodles. There was the umami smell of mutton mixed with the smell of mutton in the air.

The stall keepers were on fire in the dimly lit alcove, and the smell of cumin was fresh in the charcoal. The keeper looked very old, and looked like a sheep—when he hunched his back, he saw the whiskers on his chin trembling, like an old goat; And when he raised his face, there was a sheep-like purity on his face.

A guest in a large-brimmed hat sat facing the table, dressed in a man's shirt, and was looking sideways at the letter. As soon as Tian Xiao arrived, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw her. What was even more embarrassing was her following words: "What, don't you steal horses?" Changed to take the sheep by the hand? ”

Tian Xiao blushed unconsciously.

The woman looked at him for a while, and Tian Xiao had no choice but to look up at the words on the banner. It was dark, and the handwriting on the banner was blurred. But he heard the woman say, "He wrote it." ”

- Who?

Tian Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that of course he in her mouth could only be Gu Shan.

"He doesn't have any friends in Xianyang City."

Tie Cao Ying said slowly.

The narrow sky above the alley was almost dark.

- Xianyang City is still very meteorological when it is nearly dark. In the fading scene, the city is hiding its face lonely, the branches of the jujube trees at the mouth of the alley are like its hard ten fingers, the impetuous sun, the hustle and bustle of the day, and the dust of history gradually settle at that moment, about to fall into a dense and thick night. At this time, Xianyang City will faintly show the outline of the original construction day.

"I've looked up all his travels in the city. I checked for a long time, only to find out that he didn't have any friends and rarely came to Xianyang. ”

Tie Cao Ying said slowly.

"If he had any friends, it would be him."

Her overly contoured chin pointed at the old man who was manipulating in the alcove. I only heard her laugh and said: "If you look at his figure, you can't see that he is actually only thirty years old, right?" ”

But he looked like an old man in his sixties and seventies. I heard that six or seven years ago, there was a group of degenerate people who tried to riot, and he was one of them. ”

But he betrayed them. So, now, he is the only one left to guard such a stall in Xianyang City. And those thirty people, those who should be killed, those who should be exiled. Ningguta is a very remote place, and if you want to come, you will die, and you will die. ”

Tian Xiao's heart couldn't help but sink - riot? Betray? Fallen people?

He couldn't help but think of Ji Qin. That day, he heard that Gu Shan and that drama Qin used to be friends, and now, this young old man is also a degenerate? What is his relationship with Gushan?

Tie Cao Ying smiled slightly: "You see that he looks like a sheep, but he slaughters good mutton every day and sells it to passers-by, do you think there is any connection with this story?" ”

Then she looked at Tian Xiao: "Now, aren't you embarrassed?" ”

Tian Xiao has eased up.

He sat down beside Tie Caoying with a grin, "You are a big girl who likes a man, and you dare to poke and stab and speak; I'm a big man who likes a little girl, what's so embarrassing? ”

His skinless smile bloomed on his face again, and he had put the matter of Gu Shan's business aside. It doesn't matter who she thinks in her heart, isn't he sitting next to her now, anyway?

He had never been so close to Tie Caoying, and when he saw her side, he saw a layer of girlish fluff on her side face in the faint light, which made her show a kind of tranquility that she had never seen in her.

Tian Xiao's heart moved slightly.

Tie Caoying said solemnly: "What about the people you saved?" ”

"Who?"

"Little white shoes!"

This sentence almost sent Tian Xiao to hell again, and he opened his mouth - she wouldn't think of herself as the benefactor of the little white shoes, would she?

He's innocent!

He was so anxious that his mind was pounding, and then he smiled, because he remembered the situation this afternoon.

——In the back garden of Longfu Temple, in the end, when the little white shoes finally couldn't withstand Aunt Wei's offensive and was about to miss and die, Tian Xiao finally couldn't help but take action.

Because he saw the thin smile on the face of the little white shoes. It was ridiculous and miserable, although it was only a thin layer, but Tian Xiao still felt that he couldn't just do it.

He suddenly made a move, took the little white shoes and fled from under Aunt Wei's hands. But when she fled, she found out that Aunt Wei did not come alone.

They wanted to plan their cleanup operation very carefully, and there were several characters in "The Legend of the Daughters".

These women, it's not easy to mess with, it's not easy to mess with! Until now, Tian Xiao remembered that they couldn't help but stick out their tongues and wipe their necks. Although his own kung fu is good, he is only barely second-rate, but his "gap horse step" is not trivial. But relying on this "gap horse step" that had surprised the evil emperor, because he brought a person, he couldn't break out of the outflanking trend of several people in the "Legend of the Daughters".

Tian Xiao was really anxious at that time - Aunt Wei, Granny Hao, Aunt Sanjiu, and Concubine...... Tian Xiao recognized these people, he didn't know how these damn mothers-in-law who almost gave all the rivers and lakes a headache got together today!

They scolded Tian Xiao and Little White Shoes for being "adulterers" one after another, in normal times, Tian Xiao guaranteed to be scolded so much that he couldn't help grinning, and couldn't help but reply-"Why do you decent women think of 'adultery' and 'adultery' when you see a man and a woman together?" ”

But at that time, he was really anxious, Aunt Wei's offensive was so strong that he had a fight with a first-class man; Aunt Sanjiu is worthy of her surname, and her ban made Tian Xiaokong unable to escape many times; As for Granny Hao, oh my God, the wrinkles on her face were like fishing nets, and the net was his, the fish that was asking for trouble; And that big concubine...... Tian Xiao's head is big when she thinks about it, she is so big a pair of **, like a pair of hammers, just with them, it is enough for herself.

The little white shoes have suffered several wounds, and the white shoes are stained with blood.

On the roof of the deserted alley in the west of Xianyang City, Tian Xiao and her were running like this.

The little white shoes suddenly spoke: "Let go of me!" ”

Tian Xiao was surprised that this woman was not completely unrighteous, snorted coldly, and still dragged the little white shoes with one hand, so that she could keep up with her gaping steps.

The little white shoes suddenly put his mouth to his ear and said, "You are so desperate to save me, I have been injured like this, and I may not have the strength to sleep with you after I get better......

Tian Xiao was so angry that he couldn't wait to slap her back. Under the fork god, he was almost hit in the chest by Aunt Wei's elbow hammer. He flashed, barely avoiding it, but the back was still stained with the legs of Aunt Sanjiu's skirt, and his ass was hot and painful. Then I found out that the little white shoes had fallen into a delirium after being injured and exhausted.

Tian Xiao was anxious and angry, but in his ears, he heard the little white shoes in a trance suddenly start singing:

…… Want to kiss...... I think about it...... That soft ...... Ahahe;

Boiled dumplings...... It's a pot...... Yam that egg...... Ahahe, hey......

Tian Xiao was almost stunned when he heard it. I felt that the voice was all off the little white shoes, and it was like she sang it in a slightly dull voice for the first time in her life, instead of pretending to sharpen her throat.

That song was originally a Northwest folk song, and Tian Xiao himself would too. He liked the song, because every time he heard it, he was as happy as something. But when I heard it at this time, I felt extremely sad. He had heard this song more than a thousand times, but he didn't think that on the gray roof tiles of Xianyang City today, he would hear a woman singing like this again.

It was like a song that she longed for all her life and had been hiding herself, and finally sent it to the bottom of her heart. No wonder she can charm so many men, it turns out that in her pretentiousness, there is a kind of gentleness that can scrape the bones.

Tian Xiao couldn't help but look back at the face of the little white shoes when he dodged. I saw that she was panting, the fat powder on her face had been washed off by sweat, and her hair was sticking to her forehead, revealing her shortcomings of being too thin and her hairline too high, and her face showed the true state of a woman's skin after thirty, with looseness and exhaustion. Tian Xiao didn't expect that there would be such a song after her fat powder was exhausted, and at this time, she felt that it was not wrong to save her.

But right now, there are gray tiles everywhere that can't stop jumping even the damn leap. Tian Xiao was furious in his heart, couldn't get rid of the depression at the bottom of his heart, endured it for a moment, and suddenly sang with an open voice against the end of the little white shoes:

…… The first time I aimed at my sister...... You're not that in ...... Ahahe;

Your mom...... Hit me...... The lid of the two-pot pot ...... Ahahe,...... Yo hey!

This sound, but the little white shoes were all out of their strength and muttered out of the unrestrained splash, which made Aunt Wei a little stunned when she heard it for a while. They were at a loss in their hearts, and they had a hidden feeling. I saw this "couple" on the roof under their strong attack, and the crazy momentum was really something they had never seen in their lives.

But the eyes of the little white shoes suddenly looked not far away, straight and dumbfounded, as if they had suddenly found someone.

Then I heard her murmur, "Ah...... It's you...... I said how someone came to save me, it turned out that you sent ......"

Tian Xiao was dizzy when she heard this, and glanced back at the little white shoes, only to see that her eyes were full of joy.

Her face was as bright as a return to the light, Tian Xiao only thought that she was crazy, afraid of being confused, but when she looked at her, she suddenly saw a figure floating in. The figure was almost virtual, and it was impossible to see his descriptive figure. It just seemed to be slow, but in fact, it had already swept to Tian Xiao's side quickly. Stretching out his hand, he had already taken the little white shoes into his arms, and he had time to say in his ear: "Go separately, I will go around them, and see you in the sheep madness alley at night." ”

As he spoke, he hugged the little white shoes and walked away!

Tian Xiao actually didn't see his face clearly. But listening to the faint sound of the wind like a pine wave brought by the figure, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart: It's Gushan!

Then I was angry for no reason, it was anger at the little white shoes. He remembered what Little White Shoes had just said: What do you mean by "It turned out that you sent it"? I saved her life in vain, but I earned favor for Gu Shan!

Tian Xiao scolded angrily in his heart: Mom's, they are all despicable villains, both of them!

The heart that he had just raised to appreciate the little white shoes immediately faded - broken woman, what kind of person is it, seeing a little white face with more origin and style, it turns out that you immediately forgot the true liver and gallbladder around us. Hmph, I'll save you in vain!

- Tian Xiao thought about himself happily and angrily there, and didn't answer Tie Caoying's words.

He was depressed at this time: why should he tell her! told her the truth, I don't know if I want to take the credit for fighting with my life, but in the end I still have to be robbed by that kid from Gushan?

Phew, how could there be such a person as Gu Shan in this world! A person like him, who doesn't know how to do it, is perfect as a prince in the hearts of every woman. Even the little white shoes are so profligate that when they see him, they are immediately innocent like a yellow flower girl. What's he going to do? Is that still a man?

Tian Xiao had already had a good impression of Gu Shan, but he became disapproving.

He looked at his hands, at his feet, and suddenly he was very satisfied with himself.

- Hmph, if you're a man, you should be like me. Gu Shan's excessive shaving is what kind of male servant. Only a woman who has no vision will fall in love with him.

Tie Caoying saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, and it was very different from the last time she saw him, and she couldn't help but feel slightly strange.

She was not a person of many words, and she only said casually: "I saw it from afar." But because of the teacher's door and the unknown reason, I didn't make a good move, so I just watched you run away from afar. ”

Smiling, "I still hear you singing from afar." Hehe, lovers like you, but they are really rare. ”

When Tian Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but get anxious. "What lovers sing to songs, what rivers and lakes are rare...... I have nothing to do with her. ”

Then he saw that there was a narrow smile in Tie Caoying's usual serious eyes, so he didn't argue, and grinned: "You are really the heart of a villain." This time, my Tian Daxia Ke is all uneven, and he will help with a knife! ”

"Moreover, my husband does not try to save people, and he does not sit still. After the person was rescued, he stuffed her directly into the hands of her lover. is so open, but if you meet fellow people in the future, you can help me publicize it greatly. ”

He couldn't help but be happy when he said it, and he had a little revenge pleasure. Meng felt hungry and was about to open his throat to call for a bowl of noodles, but saw a distant ring jump in the distance.

The ring had already seen him, and was jumping and flying over.

For a while, in the alley, I only saw a pair of pigtails flying. She rushed to Tian Xiao's table, said hello to her Tian brother, jumped to order a lot of delicious food, and before she could sit down, she stared at Tie Cao Ying beside Tian Xiao with her eyes.

Iron Calyo-ying was a little stunned.

Tian Xiao was a little embarrassed, and was about to talk about it, but the fatal Huanzi suddenly spoke: "Brother Tian, this sister is the one you don't want to eat these days, and you hate Gu Shan so much for her!" ”

Tian Xiaotou immediately "buzzed" loudly - he shouldn't have called her today!

If it weren't for the two tears she had shed in the morning, and suddenly sympathizing with her, how could she have beckoned her and asked her to come and see the ancient cedar she was most thirsty for in the evening?

Who knew that this little terrible person would give him such a sentence as soon as he came!

Tian Xiao only felt that his face was red, it was so red that it was burning, and if he burned it again, he was afraid that the alley would be illuminated. But his heart was like losing a fire, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pinch the mouth of the ring.

But what's even worse is the sentence below the ring: "Okay, good, although this sister is not good-looking, she is a top match for you." Brother Tian, if you marry this sister into the door, I can follow your original words so that I can follow you to be small; Brother Tian, you are not allowed to rely on my little wife's affairs; Brother Tian ......"

She was still chewing down with her tongue, and Tian Xiao saw that Tie Caoying's face changed slightly. He expected that this woman must hate the men in this world the most with three wives and four concubines, but he saw her snort, but she didn't say anything, pressed the table, threw down the money and left!

Tian Xiao was so angry that he almost didn't explode, and he opened his mouth at Tie Caoying's back, but he didn't know how to explain.

He was furious in his heart - this iron man was so easy to talk and laugh with a few words to himself, he was easy, but also to see her mood, but also to see if Gu Shan did not run out, and to see if he just had the courage to fold up...... It's easy to just do something to show her face today, and I just happened to see it for her, but this dead ring!

- She must regard herself as a frivolous person who only loves three wives and four concubines. He Tian Xiao stared at the ring, his eyes were eager to eat her for a while, looking at her little head shaking from side to side with joy, eager to pinch it and knock it on the table. Yes, yes, and right on the sharp corner of that table!

Huanzi looked at Tie Caoying's distant figure in a daze, and looked at Tian Xiao innocently: "Did I say the wrong thing again?" ”

Tian Xiao looked at her small white teeth, eager to knock them off one by one, and then take them and press them on her throat, and bite herself to death with it.

There was a chuckle in the half of the alcove.

Tian Xiao was full of anger, and when he looked back, he saw that there was one more person in the alcove at some point.

It was dark in the room, and a lamp was lit. The man was on the edge of the pot, his figure was painted with a layer of rust by the halo of the lamp, and his eyebrows and eyes were quite ancient in the rusty light. Like the figure reflected in the brass mirror, his face is quite textured, and it does not look like a little white face, but it seems that the brass mirror that shines on him is not polished, and it is slightly hairy. That figure, the long thin clothes wrapped around the skin, and the skin was covered with bones, as if it was designed to embody that bone.

Huanzi looked at him in a daze, only to feel that this person made her feel very special, as if she had only loved to play when she was a child, she once accidentally entered the study, found a book in the study, opened the thick and soft old paper, and suddenly saw a moon like a copper coin on the album. At that time, her heart felt like time was rushing around her, everything in this world was in a trance, and only the moon was imprinted in her eyes...... Then I took a closer look and realized that it was not a month, but a seal, but the chapter was so beautiful that it looked like a moon.

…… I don't recognize any rings engraved on the chapter, but I only remember that the handwriting is sharp. At this time, I only felt that the person by the stove had sharp eyebrows and eyes, and his facial features were steep, and at first glance it looked like a copper coin-like moon, but if I looked closely, it looked like a seal with deep handwriting.

It was the first time Tian Xiao had seen Gu Shan so closely.

He was quiet, thinking that he would be resentful, but in the afternoon, the two of them had the same hatred once, and then somehow some joy rose in his heart.

He patted the stool beside him.

Gu Shan walked over and sat down casually.

The stall owner stepped forward and added a lamp to the table with a slight trembling voice.

Furusugi brought a bottle of wine.

The wine is very clear and smells very mellow.

Tian Xiao looked at him seriously, and said unabashedly for a while: "I thought that even if you have a greater reputation than me, your kung fu must be better than mine?" Even if your kung fu is better than me, people must be more handsome than me? Even if people are more handsome than me, they don't necessarily look taller than me? If you're taller than me, you're not as manly as me...... Even if the anger is stronger than me, it is possible that the cock is bigger than me! ”

He sighed, grabbed the wine that Gu Sugi had just poured and took a sip.

"But now, I've made up my mind not to compare the size with you—it's better to have a chance of comfort than nothing."

Gu Shan couldn't help but be amused by him.

Huanzi retracted her eyes on Gu Shan's face at this time, she didn't hear Tian Xiao's tongue twister like a tongue twister just now, and then she couldn't help but interject and ask: "Brother Tian, what are you talking about being bigger than you?" ”

Tian Xiao saw a smile on Gu Shan's face again, knowing that he had been hit by someone again, he was angry that Huanzi was so uncompromising, he couldn't bear it, and he reached out and slapped her on the neck - this is his unique technique, which is faster and more effective than a sleeping hole.

The ring sank, muttered, lay on the table, and fell asleep obediently.

Gu Shan sat there with his mouth pursed, obviously smiling, and pretending to be very kind.

Tian Xiao was angry and annoyed, and couldn't help but sneer: "Why, the children of the family also come to drink at such a small stall?" ”

Gu Shan smiled and blinked: "The Qi people still have a wife and a concubine. Brother Tian is a civilian, isn't he guarding the bowl and looking at the pot, the little wife and the big wife can't figure it out? My family is tired of eating big fish and meat, and I have to come to this small stall to drink, what's so funny? ”

Tian Xiaoxian saw his gentle and peaceful bearing, but he didn't know how to argue, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed. I couldn't find a reply to him for a while, so I had to go drinking again.

Gu Shan looked at Huanzi who was sleeping on the side of the table: "This little sister is interesting." Pity...... Brother Tian abducted a girl like this, but he was afraid that it would be very bad. ”

Tian Xiao was angry: "You know everything! ”

But then he saw the look on Gu Shan's face, as if he was blinking and waiting for him to continue, and then he realized that this kid was curious. He clearly wanted to know the reason, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he deliberately provoked himself.

Tian Xiao was annoyed: Those girls, I'm just afraid of being a gentleman, right? How do you know this kid is so bad!

But he was a person who couldn't hide his words, and he had just been misunderstood by Tie Caoying, and he held back his grievances and didn't appeal, knowing that he was in Gushan's place, he couldn't help but sigh and explain: "Don't look at her crazy, shouting about what to do with me, in fact, she has her own reason in her stomach." ”

"It's funny and funny. She's not bad from the background......"

As he spoke, he glanced at the ancient cedar, "...... Like you decent children, you can be regarded as having a family background, but you don't have any 'Tsinghua', but you were born in Taipingbao, Shanxi. Her father is the owner of Taiping Castle, and he is the daughter of his authentic sect, and his family background has been passed down for seventeen or eighteen generations? It's just that they are rich people in Shanxi, and they can't compare to what you call 'the gate of valve reading'. ”

"The first time I met her, she was being tracked by several good players in Shanxi. I couldn't help but be curious, thinking to myself that these big men, famous people, what are they doing chasing such a little girl? was confused for a while, but he would help her, and picked her back - for her, those who fled to the west and avoided her have suffered a lot. It was easy to sneak out of Shanxi and did some false news, which caused the people chasing her to think that she had fled to Jiangsu, and then I learned that those people were not chasing her, what this little girl said was lying to me, and they just arrested her to go back to get married. ”

"I was so angry and funny, I knew that she had run away from marriage. Her father is going to marry her to Liu Liu'er in Liulinji. I was amazed and asked, 'But is that old man or ugly?' She shook her head and said no, she was much prettier than me. I wondered if the person her father wanted her to marry was sick, and she shook her head and said no. In the end, she got acquainted, and actually said that Liu Liu'er she had actually seen, the most stylish young man, who was famous in Shanxi, but she didn't want to. She had a reason at the time: 'If you want me to marry him and be a little girl, but when you are his eldest wife, I won't do it!' ’”

"I thought this little girl was crazy, and it took me a long time to figure out her reasoning. It turned out that she was the daughter of the woman in the main house of Jing Taiyu, the main man of Taipingbao, Shanxi, and since she was a child, she saw her mother hiding in the room and crying all day long, and she had an aunt at home. That Jing Taiyu thought about some men's common diseases, spoiling concubines and killing wives. That aunt doesn't know what a powerful person she is, and she bullied her mother with tears every day. Huanzi has been used to seeing it since she was a child, and she has always been bullied by her aunt's son, and no one has disciplined her since she was a child, so she has weird ideas in her little brain and is crazy. said that she has made up her mind since she was a child, and she wants to marry a big wife who resolutely refuses to be a person, and then she will be angry like her mother, and she will be a little wife if she wants to. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Gu Shan, but saw a look of understanding on his face.

Tian Xiao said that he was instinctively funny, but after looking at Gu Shan's expression, he suddenly felt a little desolate.

He suddenly remembered the dirt road in his mind - the first time he met Huanzi was on the edge of the dirt road, she was a little girl, looking much smaller than now, no one had taken care of her since she was a child, she didn't have time to grow up, her face was gray, her clothes were dirty, and she stood there crying.

As soon as he thought of that scene, Tian Xiao couldn't help but feel sad. In the future, no matter how cumbersome it is to bring this girl with her, how much trouble she has caused herself, looking back at his anger, when he recalls the original picture, his heart is like the first time he saw the ring, he saw her row of small teeth, and since then let her row of teeth grow in the bottom of his heart, and when he thinks about it, he is gently bitten by it, and he can't help but feel sour.

Tian Xiao was dazed for a while, he was not used to such sadness, but that annoying sadness would creep up in his heart from time to time. After a while, he barely cheered up and said, "After that, she will follow me." Because he saw that she was desolate since she was a child, it was inevitable that he would not kick her nose and face. She's satisfied, and I'm miserable. I don't know when she started to say that I was a good person, and when I married my daughter-in-law, I must be a child. I thought to myself, if her father found out, I don't know how many pieces I would be blown up! ”

Tian Xiao smiled bitterly, but his face showed a sense of warmth.

Whoever sees that warmth will smile a little. I only heard him grin and said, "Fortunately, she heard about you in Xianyang City this time." Looking at her usual crazy appearance, maybe she will be willing to follow you regardless of her worth, even if she is a big wife? Amitabha, if that's the case, then I am the ancestor who has accumulated virtue. ”

He went around in a big circle, and finally returned the words to Gu Shan, looking at Gu Shan with a smile in his eyes, and his brother-in-law was not as kind as he was to his brother-in-law.

"She has already made up her mind, she wants to wait for Ming'er to get in the ring, ask me to come out, ignore the opposition of those daughters, knock you off the horse, snatch the ring, rob the kiss, and say that if you really don't want to marry me, she will hand you over to her, and the rest of the smoke is red and willow green, don't you just run away with me?"

Gu Shan was so amused by him that he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Tian Xiao lifted his happy heart, picked up the cup and touched it with Gu Shan, and said with a smile: "How about it, Ming'er's beating Ming'er will talk about it." Let's start by saying that I'm here to fight. How about let's fight to the death on wine first? ”

Gu Shan's slightly lonely face also burst into a smile, and he touched him with a cup.

The wine was quietly drunk for a while. Tian Xiao has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he can say that he has seen any kind of person, what kind of scene he has experienced, and he can talk to anyone, but it is the first time in his life to drink with a person so devotedly. He and Gu Shan, regardless of their net worth, experience, and ambition...... It's really different, but in silence, the two of them feel that they can't say it.

For a while, neither of them spoke. Tian Xiao is not a person who can't be quiet, although he is messing around in front of people, but sometimes, when he walks into the field, those wild grasses stretch out their flat green, and the spring grass blooms sporadically with small yellow flowers, and the cows in the distance bow their heads to graze, in that kind of skylight, no matter whether it is cloudy or cloudy, Tian Xiao is actually still quiet. He can sit there for a few hours while chewing grass roots, or he can bend his arms and pill his head, not wanting to do anything but look at the clouds in the sky for an afternoon.

But now, this kind of silence between the two people is the first time in their lives. This silence makes people feel that this Xianyang City is not really so desolate, even if it is a little older, a little more dilapidated, and a little more dusty; Even if it's just such a bad alley, a small food stall that can't be more simple, it's really good to have such a friend who can have no desire to deal with each other and let time flow around him.

More than an hour passed silently. Although the two of them didn't say anything, they felt more and more familiar. In the dilapidated Xianyang City, the earthen walls and roof tiles around them, the gray grass and trees, it is impossible to be dark forever in the night, everything is fast decaying, and everything seems to be long-lasting. And the silence of this moment is relative to the toast of this meal, but it is a reality that is lacking in life. It is so real that it seems to let the whole Xianyang around you as a background, and you feel like you are drinking in a ruin, and the feeling of being far away from time is also moving.

Tian Xiao looked at Gu Shan, as if he saw him for the first time and saw the clear dense forest; Among the countless ancient trees, he could think of the far-reaching courtyard; Lightning rushed, heavy rain trumpeted, mountains far away, pine waves; Countless histories and his unique family roar there...... And Furusugi looked at him, but it was as if he could see the flute of a shepherd boy in the spring field, where there was no past, no future, only a finger elephant, only a real shepherd boy......

After a long time, Tian Xiao sighed: "I said, that Rausch ring, is it possible that you really want to go?" ”

Gu Shan smiled lightly: "Hongwen Pavilion Cambodia is spread all over the world - the family of rivers and lakes, Lingnan valve reading, holding and joyful, happy to finish; Even the head of Wenyuan Pavilion and the elder of Wenge came forward in person, and others were in Danqi and the northwest in their hearts, brushing the royal willows and whipping the Baling; He also undertook a thousand courts, and Mr. Guo did not hesitate to surrender; The officials and county officials on the ground in Xianyang are all happy when they hear the wind; Even several major guards of the Wuying Hall have been dispatched, all of them are mighty, and they are currently in this Xianyang Plateau, secretly ringing around the ring...... The so-called 'column lacks thunderbolts, hills and mountains collapse; The stone door of the cave is suddenly opened; The green and dark are bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform! Neon is the clothes and the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds come down one after another; The tiger drum is rushing back to the car, and the immortal people are like hemp'......"

“…… Even the 'Evil Emperor' is not old enough, and Hui Ran is willing to come, I have already met with the Monument Shop, and even the Dizang Sect Master, whose whereabouts are rare in the rivers and lakes, has now even launched the 'Thousand Coffins'...... I have such a heavy name, if I don't take the opportunity to leap into the carp, why should I have an open belly? Not to mention going to the bird screen to recommend himself, how dare he be humble 'Qi Da is not a couple'...... Don't you show up to look good for everyone? ”

He said it elegantly, and listed the current scene, the forces in the rivers and lakes, the smoke and dust in front of him, and the world rolling down. Tian Xiao didn't understand everything, but he saw a large piece of red and willow green in his eyes, and the literature was brilliant, and he was fascinated for a while, and couldn't help shouting: "Good scenery, good scene!" ”

I was so eager that I remembered the game of 'beating the emperor' when I was a child, whoever climbed the grave and was not beaten down could occupy the position of the 'Ninth Five-Year Plan' - I just felt that life was like this, and it was indeed extraordinary!

But at this time, he looked sideways at Gu Shan in the midst of the excitement, but he only felt that his momentum was about to be lifted.

——Xianyang City is old and decayed, but under the list of ancient cedars, even if the two of them are sitting in the alley, they feel that the distance of one foot outside their bodies is that they are full of flowers and are about to bloom; jade mantle, horizontal waterfront; Qinglou Zhuque and Lantai are towering; Wealth and fame, easy to choose...... But the ancient cedar lives on the cliff bank, and he is dressed in a long shirt without wind and is self-vibrating. Looking at the look on his face, he wanted to practice on the high cliff and the deep ravine, which made Tian Xiao look at him in a frenzy, as if he recognized him more clearly. I only felt that he seemed to be in this splendid eye, sitting in the hall, looking down at the hall, but his eyes were as clear as before. The hall is dazzling, but he still adheres to the family motto of the ancient family not to seek to be heard, as if once again people look at the ancient forest of the ancient family outside the stele shop.

Tian Xiao laughed suddenly: "You kid, I'm just afraid that all the kids in the world are envious of your position now!" ”

Gu Shan also felt that his expression was too clean, and he smiled, "I envy your position." ”

Tian Xiao glanced at him in disbelief.

"Brother Tian has no obstacles, and he has a lot of luck. No matter where you go, you will soak the rivers and lakes in your heart. This freedom, how can people not envy it? ”

"And I, no matter what, promise to be excellent. As soon as you go out, you will run into other people's quagmire-like rivers and lakes. ”

"Then you ignored them and sneaked away, right?"

Tian Xiao pinched his eyes and smiled: "Don't go to the ring, lest I have to fight." You can just elope with me. ”

Gu Shan also smiled: "That's a good idea!" ”

said and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm a layman, and there are still a lot of businesses that must be taken care of in this world." For example: My family has a legend in the area outside Xianyang City, and there are really thousands of hectares of fertile land, and I won't tell you that the entire large area of the Monument Shop is my family's field. I had the intention to ignore it and distribute it directly to the tenants, but unfortunately no one would will. They all said, "If it is given to them, who will take care of the land rent, the state tax, and the river engineers?" At that time, the county officials urged rent, and the state gave them three promotions and one fight, which would definitely strip them to the bones. With my ancient family here, I can be more or less stubborn, and the county officials have always been unable to try their best to search for their ......."

"Second, it's also that I'm too bored, these years in the northwest pass, Khotan, found an oasis, met a few wild old hermits, and helped them move over. I didn't think that this move offended Wen Ge's big idea, he has always given me face, and he didn't dig deeper, and he didn't use the Dunhuang guards to destroy my 'world'. However, he has tolerated me for a long time, and according to the words from Qianting, if I don't rely on him this time, then whether it is the tenant small farmers who rent my family's land in Xianyang, or those companions who refuse to be included in his 'leap tiger list', he will not tolerate it so far. ”

Tian Xiao sighed softly: "I'm afraid there is still a matter of 'drama Qin'......"

Gu Shan's face couldn't help but change, it seemed that even if he was speculative with Tian Xiao, he still refused to easily talk about such an important secret.

I only heard Gu Shan's skip and didn't answer, but sighed: "So, how can I not be afraid?" ”

Tian Xiao was depressed when he heard it, and scolded: "His mother's! ”

Gu Shan glanced at him, his eyes turned, Tian Xiaozheng didn't know what his idea was, but he also suddenly shouted out in a foul mouth: "His mother's!" ”

He has always been polite, and he learned such a sentence suddenly, which made Tian Xiao stunned.

Then, the two couldn't help but laugh in unison.

The old man who was guarding the stall should have closed the stall a long time ago, but he seemed to cherish a friend like Gu Shan in his heart, and he stayed with him from afar, and kept watching them from afar. Then I saw them laughing, and although I didn't know what they were laughing at, they also grinned.

Tian Xiao squinted at Gu Shan and said with a smile: "Strange, although even I think you are very good, but what do the old donkeys of Wuyingdian and Wenge take a fancy to you?" Do you like me to have a fancy for your little white face? ”

Gu Shan was not annoyed: "It's a thing that I have taken a fancy to my family heirloom, right?" ”

"Or rather, I'm afraid of something from my family......"

"Key keeper" - Tian Xiao suddenly remembered these three words in his mind, he remembered what the crazy throat girl said that day, and couldn't help but be aroused by curiosity. He was curious that day, and after suppressing it for so many days, today he finally had the opportunity to ask: "What is that?" ”

Gu Shan glanced at him, as if he was considering whether he could tell him. Then he seemed to feel relieved of him, Fang said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just a little old thing passed down from the hands of a young man surnamed Luo and a young man surnamed Yi." ”

- The surname Luo, and the surname Yi?

- Luo, Yi?

"It's Luoyi!"

I saw that Tian Xiao's face was red, it turned out that those legends were true! And those legends still have a lingering charm. He held the wine in front of him, and suddenly remembered the legendary story he had heard for a few hours...... "The two of them drank the flowers of the mountains and blossomed, cup after cup; I was drunk and went to ...... "Is that a glass of wine and a sword; A snow, a song; Isn't it virtual, can it be so eternal?

Gu Shan's face also flashed with fascination.

"That's right, it's a flucade."

"Although, most of the people in the rivers and lakes don't know what this 'flupe' is, Tian Xiao only cares about it as an endless legend, but most people care about it being associated with treasures." 'Forever Closed Arsenal' and 'Flowing Sword' are the ones that make everyone feel the most interested. ”

He smiled slightly: "This thing has also tired my Gu family for a long time." For the sake of this Laoshzi, my ancient family has to marry the 'throat-sealing' Feng family from generation to generation. This rule is also strange, maybe the ancestors considered, if people know a secret, and that secret has a lot to do with it, I am afraid that no one can bear it anymore, and I always have to tell someone who is right, so the descendants of the ancient family must marry. That thing was originally jointly supported by my Gu family and the Feng family, so this rule was also set: All the descendants of my Gu family who inherit this secret must marry a daughter of the Feng family. His secret can only be told to two people in his life, one is his son and the other is his wife. But they thought really thoughtfully, after marrying the daughter of the Feng family, the daughter of the Feng family will be 'sealed'. There is always a girl in the family who is forced to look up to this miraculous dumb medicine......"

"Unfortunately, I never heard a word from my mother."

His face suddenly turned miserable, and he waited for a moment before smiling: "You only see what kind of ring Hongwenguan has now, but I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes think that I am recruiting warblers and swallows in all directions, and they hate me rampant in their stomachs." Don't you know, I was actually the first to be divorced for this, because...... The girl of the Feng family is unwilling to suffer from the medicine again...... Now, I still have to be tired by it to recruit relatives. ”

"Hehe, who is like me in the world, I have been scolded and scolded in my life!"

He lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly bitterly, Tian Xiao was the first time he had seen him so lonely and miserable.

Tian Xiao almost blurted out: "No! ”

- He knows the Mad Throat Girl, and he knows that the Mad Throat Girl is not for this! She wants, just wants Gu Shan to "fly". The last thing she wants to see is not herself who is "choked", but him who is "choked"!

But he looked at Gu Shan's expression at the moment, and only felt that although he was free and easy, he must be a very serious person who was easy to blame himself in his bones, and finally decided not to say it, even if the crazy throat girl said it to him at the beginning, most of the purpose was "In case he sees Gu Shan, he ...... That's what you know, right? ”

- Don't let him feel guilty in vain, right?

Tian Xiao's heart was desolate, and he interrupted his mouth: "After so many years, why are they not afraid of it, they don't make up their minds, and let that thing be kept in the hands of your ancient family for so long, but now they are suddenly afraid?" ”

Gu Shan's body straightened slightly: "Maybe it's because although that thing has been passed down from generation to generation in my Gu family, it has always been just a support, but no one has tried to find him." When I came here, I was active by nature, but I had carefully consulted it, and I benefited a lot from it, rather than being jealous like the elders who only regarded it as a literary play, right? ”

His tone suddenly slowed: "Second...... Maybe it's because I got to know ...... Chi Muqing? ”

"No matter how bad the evil emperor is in the world, I have always had a deep respect for him. But he has always been too deeply entangled with the people of Xiangxi's 'Pai Jiao' and 'Miao'. These two groups of people, both in the court and in the opposition, are regarded by the imperial court as the source of trouble. I got to know his daughter, and they naturally did everything possible to stop the convergence of our two veins, so that that thing could indirectly spread into the hands of the Evil Emperor. ”

His tone suddenly changed to a chill: "So they did not hesitate to use the world's red fans and famous fields to create such a ring with various families in the rivers and lakes, in order to stop the evil emperor, to stop Chi Muqing, and to control my Gumen lineage!" ”

Tian Xiao only felt that the more he spoke, the more aggressive his tone became, and that kind of sharp and murderous aura was the only one he had seen in his life.

I only heard Tian Xiao laugh and said, "Then you kid will simply enter the sect of the Evil Emperor." Even if the people in the rivers and lakes are against you, the people of the Manwu Yingdian want to crusade against you, and the people of the Manhong Wenguan want to weave you, plus the old donkey of Wenge, I will also support you. Let's have a big fight with them. ”

His eyes lit up, and he felt that he had encountered the most interesting thing. It was like a mob, ready to stir up when it heard the wind.

Gu Shan smiled: "But for now, I still have to deal with this fat powder first." Look at the beauties they selected, who can knock me off the horse as soon as they make a move? ”

The two laughed and drank.

Tian Xiao knew that his kung fu was not as good as this ancient cedar, and he made up his mind to get his book back in drinking.

Seeing them one by one, Tian Xiao only put out a thousand cups of not drunk pie to level Gushan.

The two drank a lot and talked messily. Later, what Gu Shan said made Tian Xiao understand and not understand. He actually discussed: What is this Xianyang?

Gu Shan also felt that he was drunk, because the thoughts in his head had flooded, and he began to casually talk to Tian Xiao about his usual feelings...... "What is Xianyang?" ”

"What is Xianyang? Xianyang ...... That's a reminiscent name, isn't it? …… salty as sweat; And that sun should be the strongest and most violent sun that exploded in the previous life, and was the only one left after nine days of shooting......"

“…… The sun is roasting like this, thousands of years have passed...... No matter how thick the life is, no matter how much sweat it is, it should be dried up, right? So all that was left was a group of yellow, crumbling, and slag-faced remnants, who had lost their water, and toiled on the salt-soaked land......"

“…… And the original black city is gone...... Therefore, the old legend says that the city once laid a dynasty, the most powerful dynasty in history...... At first, it was a story of desire, in which the prince was taken hostage, a merchant came to sell the country, Jing Ke came to assassinate, and the Qin emperor slaughtered his father...... There are all the most primitive forces and desires, but there is no system, there is no program, only desire, a desire and force that wants to annex the world and the four seas and ......"

“…… It is said that it was the man named Shang Ying who set up the first bamboo pole here, saying that whoever moves the light bamboo pole will win a prize...... The lightest became the heaviest, and from then on the law ruled the world, and the black law thus made a dynasty ......"

“…… It was an era of great vitality, and the most primitive vitality encountered the law of the original Zhang who tried to suppress it...... When the most tenacious desires meet the harshest order, the net is opened, and birds are flying everywhere...... What finally created the first powerful era in history? Is it the harsh punishment law, or the power of the people who can be organized and limited by the people who have risen to the earth and the mountain? ……”

“…… But in the end, thousands of years have passed, the drama Qin has died, life is decaying, and the law is also old...... Both sides of the enemy were finally wiped out...... In the future, there will be the Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it will no longer only be the Legalist system to control the people's desires, but there will be 'rule of inaction' and 'depose the hundred schools'...... The two sides of the original hostility were wiped out, glued together and turned into an indescribable color of ink......"

“…… And where are the blacks, the blacks that once covered a city and measured the universe, the blacks that suppressed the blood with a thicker color, where are they now? …… Did he gradually swallow life, soften into the ink of Confucianism, borrow the body of the emperor, and wield it with the long sleeves of Confucianism? It drains the joys and sorrows, and the heavy rhyme and red tape soak into the sky, turning dirt into clouds and turbidity into rain, and then drowning the whole of China ...... in this way? ”

"And that Xianyang has only become a wooden box that no one notices anymore, and the ink is discarded after it is poured out."

This is the last sentence of Furusugi.

Tian Xiao muttered, "What are you talking about?" It turns out that you were drunk first, or I wouldn't be able to stabilize how I look at you, and I look like a phantom. If you can't stand it, let's talk about it quickly. Admit that you don't drink as much as I ......"

He didn't finish muttering, but fell down on the wine table, drooling, and after a while he began to snore.

Gu Shan is okay, but he takes care of himself, and he can't control his thoughts, so he thinks so crankily all the way.

Suddenly, I heard Tian Xiao stretch his waist, put his arm under his cheek, and muttered, "You kid is good." But getting to know you makes me feel that it's better to be myself......"
