Small preface
People who have been to Jiangnan are afraid that they will not forget the rain in Jiangnan. As soon as the rain came, the whole Wu Tou and Chuwei seemed to be picturesque. The rain itself is indifferent and cold, but dripping on the eaves and hitting the hats, mixed with the smoke and rain, there is the breath of the world at the bottom of the eaves-including the most tragic strong songs and the most joyful sour and soft**, all of which occur in this drizzle. It is painful to look at it closely, but standing in the far away place so far away from the desert - vast and vast - to look at it, all the sorrows of the world have been faintly silent in this smoke and rain, only to let future generations feel: no matter which piece is cut out - if history can also be sliced, that scene of smoke and rain and that story can be kneaded into a beautiful place, and the point is legendary......
On the third day of October, next to the river, which is only 30 miles downstream of the Jianshizui Ferry, there is a 'Yu Ji' live fish restaurant that is silently silent in this smoke and rain. This restaurant is a village and a wild place, a little tattered, the fish scale tiles washed out a kind of broken black sink in the rain, most of the pavilion is hanging diagonally in the water, and the wooden railings are almost black. From here, it's a great place to enjoy the scenery. It's a pity, there is no attitude to the remaining water and mountains, what can be taken care of into Fengyue? - There were two people sitting in the water pavilion at this time.
"He landed here three days ago?"
It was a young man who spoke, seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face was a little tanned because he had lived by the water for a long time, but there was another kind of spaciousness between his eyebrows, which was not as ugly as an ordinary fisherman. He asked an old man. The old man was also sixty years old, with a hat by his side, dressed as a fisherman, but his temperament was gentle, his demeanor was soothing, and he squinted at the rain, like a fox who was wise and very old. The old man looked away, as if waiting for something, and replied, "Yes." โ
"What about the three ghosts? The three ghosts didn't catch up? The nine ghosts under the seat of Zhang Tianshi of Dragon and Tiger Mountain are not easy to mess with! โ
The young man seemed to be infinitely curious, and kept asking. In fact, the old man had told him this story at least three times, but he still couldn't help but ask the details over and over again. He still muttered: "Why didn't I catch up like this, but I entered some city that day!" - Uncle, why did you see it all? โ
Only then did the old man withdraw his gaze from the young man. When he looked away, his gaze was sharp and cold, but when he looked at the young man, his gaze unconsciously became more loving. I only heard him laugh and said: "Because, that day, the uncle was mending the boat by the river." โ
That day, the eldest uncle saw a camel floating down the river on the south bank. Uncle is so old, what haven't you seen? - I have experienced the war even for days. That day, I couldn't help but rub my eyes, thinking: Is it too old to be dazzled and see me wrong? โ
There was a smile on the corner of his lips when he spoke, which was a smile that absolutely believed in his eyesight and refused to accept old age: "If you look closely, there is indeed a camel, and on it is a young man in black clothes, twenty-one or two years old, wet, and his clothes are tightly attached to his body, showing that he is lean, but absolutely strong. Then I saw three figures on the shore leaping and chasing after me. The boy didn't seem to really want to abandon them, nor did he cross the riverโhe could cross it with the strength with which he stepped over the cattle. does not rely on the heart of the river, always floats and sinks, and advances leisurely. When I got to the ground, I saw that the three figures seized the opportunity, suddenly jumped up, and struck at the young man in the river with one move at a time. Grandpa saw that the three people were wearing cloaks, using the wind to make power, like owls and owls, and two of them were 'ghost head claws' that few people used on the rivers and lakes, only to know that the shot was originally the nine ghosts on Longhu Mountain, and he couldn't help but be surprised. โ
When the old man said this, he was stunned for a while, stretched out his hand and took a sip of wine before continuing: "That young man picked up the three of him on the hunchback of Jiang Xin. He wielded a short sword that was only two feet long. After a move, he sat down and sank down, but the animal was sturdy and did not take it seriously. The young man who borrowed the water could easily dispel the heavy attack of the three demons, and then, his cattle would inevitably float down in between these moves, and the person who attacked him would have to retreat to the shore to breathe. If only one person fights with him, he will inevitably fall behind after three or five moves. But there were three of them, and they took turns attacking, and the harrier leaped and leaped, so that the boy was always tightly entangledโit seemed that they had been wrestling all the way down. โ
The young man dressed as a fisherman listened to the light in his eyes, and unconsciously put his elbows on the greasy table, and did not think that the table was dirty. But I heard the old man say: "Needless to say, the three major ghosts are attacking fiercely, but the young man's swordsmanship really makes me admire: don't come out of the machine, become a family of your own, every move makes people smell the avenue, such as going astray, and the hair has never been sent before, uncle, I am stunned." Suddenly, the young man laughed and said, "You are incapable of fighting, and you don't retreat, do you really think that I can't dig a ghost mound by this river?" โโ
The three ghosts laughed in unison, no wonder the three of them were arrogant - from the seat of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, also known as being included in the Nine Great Ghosts, who have always bought someone's account? Boss Yuan is still polite to them, this time he has been fighting with a teenager for so long, is it very face-saving to say it? So they tightened up. To tell the truth - my uncle has seen more than 100 battles between the world's masters and mediocre hands, but it is the first time I have seen people like this in the middle of the river and on the shore. I saw the young man raise his eyebrows in the twilight, and saw another ghost leap upโthis one was quite young, like seven of the nine ghosts. At this time, the young man had just received a move from the two ghosts, and the two ghosts had exhausted their strength and retreated to the shore, while the big ghost was accumulating strength on the shore to chase after him, and the seven ghosts had just jumped up to make a move. But he heard the young man shout, 'Throw down the Golden Lotus family for thousands of miles', as if these were these seven words, he patted the back of the camel sitting on the neck, and the person had already jumped up, avoiding the attacking seven ghosts, and instead pursued the two ghosts who were retreating to the shore. โ
"When my uncle saw this trick, he already felt that the young man was smart, and the two ghosts were only afraid that it would be bad! Sure enough, the big ghost on the shore has changed color immediately, and without waiting to slow down, he has risen into the air to come to the rescue. But how fast the young man was, he saw that his sword was arc-shaped, and under one move, the two ghosts had no time to dodge, snorted in pain, and the sword in his shoulder pierced through. He was seriously injured, and his body sank and fell towards the heart of the river. The big ghost had already jumped in, he didn't pick up the two ghosts, but shouted: 'Old Seven', ordered the old seven to rescue the two ghosts, and made a move in his own hand, to take down the young man while his old strength was exhausted and the new power was not born. The young man only shook him for a moment, but his body swirled, his momentum was like an arc, and his turn was like a canopy, avoiding the big ghost's hard blow, but chasing after the seven ghosts who had supported the two ghosts and retreated to the shore. The big ghost shouted, and the move was out, but in the air he couldn't keep up with the young man's turn of wishes, so he had to deflect his strength, and struck at the camel in the water, and the camel sank into the water, almost not topping, and he turned back with his strength. At this time, the young man was not touching the ground, and shot at the two ghosts and seven ghosts on the shore one after another, the two ghosts were injured, and the seven ghosts fully supported, but they had already lost the upper hand. The big ghost joined the war group in a blink of an eye, and it was dark at this time, and I couldn't see it clearly, only to see the ghost shadow building, sword wind hunting, time and time together, time gathering and time scattering, but the young man never landed, and from time to time he drifted back, borrowing strength from the willow branches on the shore. Suddenly, the scene was silent, and the three ghosts stood in the shape of horns, guarding and not moving. But the young man stretched out an arm and hooked one finger to the branch of a large locust tree on the shore, and as the branch swayed, it seemed that he was about to dissolve the force on his body that had been subjected to the fierce fight. โ
"With my uncle's eyesight, I didn't see who won and who lost at that time. At that time, the scene was extremely quiet, and I couldn't help but hold my breath from afar. It took a long time to hear the big ghost over there say in a cold voice: "My brothers are defeated. You have seriously injured my second brother and left my seventh brother with an arm, do you have to leave my third brother's life behind? โโ
"The boy was silent in the tree, and then he said, 'That's not necessary,' and I heard his voice gasping slightly, but it was not easy for him to win. Although the big ghost has been on the battlefield for a long time, he seems to be happy when he hears it. I heard him say, 'But one thing is clear: if you spare my brother today, my brother will never let you go to the ends of the earth in the future.' โโ
The country boy dressed as a fisherman who was fascinated by it was very disgusted with the three ghosts, but at this time he couldn't help but be stunned, secretly admiring these three ghosts no matter how they were, but they were also tough. I only heard the old man continue: "The young man only 'sneered' and smiled, he didn't care a little, and muttered something in his mouth, and saw that as soon as his fingers were loosened, the person had already vibrated and flicked, and jumped towards Jiang Xin again. His livestock is really good, he was okay after being hit by a big ghost, and such a rapid water still stopped in the heart of the river waiting for him. As soon as the boy got on his hunchback, the animal drifted away. I only heard him shout on the hunchback: 'I spare the three of you not to die, so that the three of you can pass on a message and say to Boss Yuan: I have a grudge against him. Recently, I don't have time, if he is not convinced, make an appointment with him, on this day next year, and then discuss life and death with him. โโ
The old man was silent when he said this, "The place where they started is only three miles from here, and later, when I traced it down, I saw the hooves by the river, and guessed that he had come ashore by the widow's hotel." โ
The young man dressed as a fisherman was already blushing and high-spirited when he heard it, and he didn't respond to the human voice coming from the door, as if he was still immersed in the story just now.
