Chapter 45: The First Sight of Life (Part II)

Shu'er looked at the map and decided to find an inn to stay in the front of Binghu Town. Binghu Town is located in Chenguonan County, because the surface of the lake south of Binghu Town is not completely frozen in winter, hence the name "Binghu Town".

Shu'er booked a single cabin in a lakeside inn, and sat at a wooden table in front of the window in a red fox fur to watch the lake view. The glacial lake was shiny and shiny, with a thick layer of ice. The inn is elegant, and there is a white porcelain vase on the wooden table, in which there are a few snow plums unique to Nanjun. The snow plum is red, adding a bit of color to the snowy winter day.

She drank the jasmine tea she had brought from Fanjing and waited for the sun to set over the frozen lake.

Before the sun had set over the frozen lake, a young man with a wide robe and big sleeves and silver hair strolled onto the lake. He carried a long sword at random, put the sword on the ice, and swished to swing the sword to practice. His footwork is light and agile, his wide sleeves are fluttering like a fairy, and the ice lake and sword all reflect the afterglow of the setting sun, shining with dazzling light.

I don't know that someone can be so comfortable on the ice, I wanted to see how this man who looked like an immortal slipped and fell, but I didn't expect him to be able to retract and jump frequently. Shu'er thought that the best-looking man she had ever seen in her life was probably her little brother Lin Ying, who was powerless but was sought after by countless ladies in Fanjing, or herself who was called the boss of the broken sleeves by a woman dressed as a man......

I didn't expect that men in the world could be like this.

She stared blankly at the man on the lake in the distance, although she couldn't see his face clearly, but she held her cheeks and smiled stupidly, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth loomed.

She suddenly thought, I don't know how well her brother's martial arts are practiced? Will it be better than the guy on the lake? I don't know how tall my brother has grown, will he be taller than the man on the lake?

As the sun went down, the man on the lake took his sword and went to the shore of the lake to make a fire. A red-haired animal came up and sat down by the fire. The man set up a grill, lowered his head and took something that looked like a fish from something, and put it on the grill to roast, turning it over from time to time. The red-haired animals moved closer. The man lowered his head again and picked up a fish and skewered it onto the skewer of the grill.

Shu'er looked at the flames, and her stomach couldn't help but growl, so she closed the window and went out of the house to find food. Although I ate a bowl of noodles in the inn, I still felt hungry, and I thought angrily: "Tomorrow I will also go to grill a fish to eat!" ”

As soon as the morning dawned the next day, Shu'er couldn't wait to run to the ice lake, wanting to catch a fish to roast. There was a hole in the water that had been cut open by the shore that was probably dug by the sword practitioner yesterday for fishing before he practiced here. There is also a fire and a grill erected by the man who practiced swords yesterday on the shore. Shu'er walked around the neighborhood to see if the man had left the fishing rod with him, but unfortunately he didn't.

Although she didn't have a fishing rod, she had a long sword that might be able to stick in a fish. I think that when she crossed the Shu Kingdom with her three aunts and Lin Ying, when she arrived at a place where there was no inn or tavern for three or five days, she could only hunt, fish and barbecue in the wild to eat. At that time, she didn't even have a decent sword, but she could stick it into a fish, and now that she has a good sword, she is naturally eager to try.

In other words, Shu'er's good sword was also purchased by Lin Ying for her to travel alone in the Fanjing Black Market a few days ago. It was the most expensive sword in the Fanjing black market that day, selling for a full twenty taels of gold, and many people were vying for it. The owner of the sword seller on the black market grew up watching "Yan Shu" and his younger brother "Su Ying" in the Biliang cosmetics shop, so he naturally sold the sword to Su Ying. It is said that the sword was left in Chen by King Song Huai, who died on the battlefield in the Chen and Song wars nineteen years ago, and was later beheaded by Li Chen, the current king of Chen, who was killed by King Song Huai, and took it back to the Jinyang Palace for collection. A few days ago, a Jiangyang thief entered Jinyang Palace, stole a lot of palace collections, and sold them to the black market. Because King Chen said first: "A master who has the ability to steal the collection in the palace is not easy to practice, so if he is not killed, he will be punished for joining the army for five years." The collection was sold to the black market, and there was no need to search for it, so it could be regarded as something that my King Chen gave to the people. "Therefore, in the black market in Beijing, there are occasional big days, which are the days of auctioning off the palace's collections.

Lin Ying told Shu'er: "This sword of Liu Ying, the king of Song Huai, is not an ordinary sword!" Sister Shu'er, have you heard of 'Qi Baiyu and Wei Baojian'? It means that the country of Qi produces white jade, and the country of Wei produces swords. It is said that there was once a master of sword forging in the country, called 'Meng Lin'. This Meng Lin also used his own sword to assassinate King Wu of Song, who was the father of King Song Huai, who destroyed Qi Wei and Wei back then. Moreover, the sword cast by Meng Lin, except for the diamond jade produced by the Wei Kingdom, is even harder than any jade! The sword he forged is light and beautiful, and it is the most suitable for you, sister! ”

Shu'er asked, "Does this sword have a name?" ”

Lin Ying shook her head and said, "The name of this sword is probably only known to King Song Huai himself. ”

Shu'er said: "Then call it 'Huaiwang Sword' for the time being." ”

So on the shore of the ice lake, Boss Yan, who was dressed as a man and wore a red fox, wielded the "Huaiwang Sword" that was far more than twenty taels of gold, and was swishing to insert fish.

Plug up a small thin fish, cut it open with the Huaiwang sword, clean it up in the ice water, and use the Huaiwang sword to cut off the fish scales, skewer the fish to the chisel of the grill, make a fire, turn it over from time to time, sprinkle some grilled fish material that is always available in the restaurant, and after a while, it has been ten miles of fragrance.

Shu'er swallowed her saliva, and was just about to pick up the chisel with the fish on it, when she suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps stepping on the snow behind her, and a crisp voice was slightly puzzled: "Little fox? ”

Shu'er was babying the fish in her hand, for fear that it would fall off the hammer, and she didn't raise her head, so she turned around and said, "My surname is Hu." ”

The crisp voice explained, "I'm talking about the fox's fox." ”

Shu'er couldn't help it, and took a bite of the fish before looking up at the person who didn't know what to do.

So that bite of fish became the piece of fish that she had held in her mouth for the longest time in her life.

The young man in front of him, with clear eyes, long eyebrows and sideburns, and a tall gray robe with wide sleeves and sleeves, is like a person in an ink painting.

So although that bite of fish was the piece of fish that Shu'er had held in her mouth for the longest time in her life, she never remembered what that piece of fish tasted like.

The man looked down at the grilled fish in her hand, leaned over and sniffed it, and asked admiringly, "What kind of ingredients did you sprinkle?" It's even more fragrant than the grilled fish I made! Then he thought about it and said, "It seems that you are not my fox, because I have never made such a fragrant grilled fish for him." ”

Shu'er suddenly realized that this man was the one who practiced swords on the ice lake yesterday, and couldn't help but blush, and muttered in a low voice: "If I am a fox, you will come out of the painting." ”

The man laughed, touched the red fox on her shoulder, and said, "The coat color of your big fox is very similar to the red fox I raised." Last night I didn't give it a share of the fish I grilled by the lake, and it ran away in anger and hasn't come back since. So I didn't wake up just now, and I saw a stuffed thing grilling fish by the lake in a daze through the window, and I thought it was my little fox. I didn't expect to see it closer, it was a person, so I was confused and thought that my fox had become a human like the one mentioned in the book. ”
