Chapter 1: Friends
Yellowstone is a big town, not as small as some of the capitals, and the street was originally a very prosperous and lively place.
But it was late this night, the jade rabbit was hanging high, and the moonlight shone faintly on the cold street.
Such a cold street is naturally very quiet, but this quiet is always broken by some people.
A few fast horses galloped through the street, and then an old woman came out of a gloomy alley......
She wore a patched blue dress, and bent her back, as if a large stone was pressed on her back, as if her waist could not stand up no matter what.
The fast horse stopped at the door of the inn, and the old woman's shout followed: "Sugar-fried chestnuts!" The fragrant and hot fried chestnuts with sugar have just come out of the pot, and they are only ten dollars a catty. ”
A lonely old woman, in her twilight years, shouts and sells in her almost hoarse voice in the middle of the night, and everyone will feel uncomfortable when they see it.
But when he saw her at will, there was nothing uncomfortable, and even though he saw it, it seemed that there was no such person in his eyes.
He passed in front of the old woman, and continued: "Uncle, buy some sugar and fried chestnuts, just out of the pot, only ten cents a catty." ”
The old woman was carrying a large bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a thick cotton cloth, and she seemed to have difficulty walking, so she stopped him very inappropriately.
Arbitrarily looked up at the bright moon, the bright moon was very round; He looked down at the old woman again for a moment before he said, "I don't want it!" ”
After that, go.
The old woman chased after her again: "Uncle, the fried chestnuts with sugar are fragrant and sweet, if you don't believe it, you can try it, as long as ten cents a catty." "The cotton cloth has opened a corner first, and sure enough, a tempting aroma wafts out.
Arbitrarily expressionless, he said lightly: "Stop me again, and I will kill you." ”
The person left again, and the old woman was stunned, and then looked at the departing back with a very strange look in her eyes......
This is a man, dressed in a white robe, who looks no more than twenty years old, but has a bright silver hair.
His face was very pale, and he seemed to be just a sick young man, but his leisurely demeanor, his lazy expression, showed that he didn't care about anything.
Such a person has an indescribable special feeling with people.
In addition to a sword as white as snow at his waist, he also had a sword with a simple sheath and handle.
The sword and the knife looked ordinary, but the old woman could see at a glance that the sword was extraordinary.
She was curious about the knife, and she was curious about the sword, and she was even more curious about the man; Curious, she chased after the man again.
Such an old woman must not be fast, but when she pursues it, it is almost like flying...... Her figure flew out very quickly, and the scenery on both sides of the road quickly retreated.
No one could have imagined that such an old woman would be as big as electricity. She withdraws from the shadow, fluttering like a shock, and her posture is wonderful; It would be even more wonderful if she were a young girl.
She was really fast, and she swept several feet in one rise and fall, but she couldn't catch up with the white shadow in front of her......
The man was obviously walking, but faster than her 'flying', and the figure was faint, disappearing from time to time, as if it was about to disappear at any moment.
Then, the figure was gone!
The old woman paused, her eyes flashed brightly, and then her waist was straight, and she was very angry and stamped her feet angrily.
"I remember what you look like!"
……
Hua Manlou is the seventh son of the Jiangnan Hua family. Some people say that the Hua family's property is so large that they gallop anywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can't run out of the range of the Hua family from sunrise to sunset.
It's a thriving city in Gangnam, and it's also a lively street.
Outside this lively street, there is a quiet small building, where the path is full of flowers, there is full of life, and the flowers live in this small first floor.
A pot of tea, a guqin, simple clothes, and a warm smile.
He was obviously blind, but he seemed to be able to see the merchants and vendors on the streets, and the large and small carts and horses interspersed, and the happy smiles on the faces of pedestrians.
Listening to the flowers blooming and falling, accompanied by the rolling clouds, such a person is really very special.
There was a slight coughing sound.
Hua Manlou listened to the voice, was stunned in surprise, and then smiled again, and said: "It turns out that I have a guest, but Hua Manlou is rude." ”
Arbitrarily said: "You see me as a guest?" ”
Hua Manlou said with a smile: "The people who come to me are all guests!" ”
Yi sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I was short of silver taels, so I came to you." ”
Hua Manlou said: "It turns out that Brother Tai is short of money. ”
"I need a house, and I need to hire a few people." ”
Hua Manlou said: "I happen to have an empty house, and I also have a few capable subordinates. ”
Arbitrarily said unexpectedly: "Are you willing to give it to me?" ”
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I'm willing to make you a friend." ”
Arbitrarily said: "Actually, I was going to rob it." ”
Hua Manlou didn't seem to care, but still smiled indifferently: "Don't rob it, I can let people clean up the house tomorrow, and Brother Tai can live in it at that time." ”
Arbitrarily smiled: "Actually, it's not bad for people like you to be friends." ”
"It's all over the building!"
"Arbitrary, let it be balanced!"
"Brother Ren!"
Arbitrarily whispered, "I have a way to heal your eyes...... But I think you'll say no! ”
He could hear the beautiful sound of the falling snowflakes, and he could feel the magic of the buds slowly opening in the spring breeze, but no matter what, Hua Manlou was blind.
In his world there was only endless darkness, without any color, and he could not see any color.
His smile changed when he heard that anything could heal his eyes.
But this change was only instantaneous, only after a blink of an eye, Hua Manlou regained that warm smile and said, "Since Brother Ren said that I would refuse, then don't mention it again." ”
Any was suddenly stunned, he didn't expect to hear such words.
He sighed, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have mentioned it." ”
Hua Manlou said: "I am very grateful for Brother Ren's words." ”
Arbitrarily smiled: "I have never had any friends, you are my first friend." ”
Hua Manlou also smiled and said, "I am very happy to have made your friend." ”
Arbitrarily asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
Hua Manlou said: "It's good wine!" ”
The wine is osmanthus wine, with a unique floral aroma and a unique taste. During the drinking, Hua Manlou also learned about this friend somewhat.
According to him, his martial arts are very good, his medical skills are also very good, and he has been studying music and rhythm recently. Hua Manlou also knew that he was not in good health, so he would only drink when he was happy.
