In the Qinhuai River on a winter night, there are few boats and oars.

Under the wind lamp, the boatman put his winter jacket back together, muttering in his heart, if it weren't for the reward money, who would want to run such a trip in the cold night......

The boat turned into a secluded, narrow channel and stopped outside a river house. The river houses in this area stretch, and this place looks inconspicuous. There is a window facing the river and a stone staircase leading to a small courtyard surrounded by a stone fence. In the meantime, the small screen of the Yuting Qing case is surrounded, and there is a bamboo leaning on the yarn, which is particularly elegant.

There was a hanging bell outside the trunk, and the boatman stretched out his hand and shook it, and there were a few exquisite sounds.

The window near the water creaked open half of the door, and the light smoke combined with the agarwood suddenly pounced out of the room.

A bare hand on the edge of the window, the cherry tree-colored sleeves hanging, as if not afraid of the cold outside.

In the tone of "Brought ......", it seems to be waking up from a heavy sleep, seven points lazy and three points impatient.

The boatman hurriedly said: "Bring it, this fish is not easy to catch today, if you take it to the city......"

As he spoke, a string of copper coins slipped from his hand and hung in the air.

The boatman took it with a smile on his face, "It's still a girl who knows the goods, and the fish I catch are ......all very fatty and tender," he said, and he couldn't help but look up.

The girl leaned against the window, with one hand on her cheek, and a veil on her face, which half-concealed the beauty underneath, adding to the beauty. The boatman was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

She wasn't annoyed, and said slowly, "Can you help me clean up?" ”

The boatman hurriedly came back to his senses, "Clean! Exceptionally clean. Directly into the pot, it is guaranteed to be delicious. This snake fish is the best way to replenish the body and get new ......."

As he spoke, he lifted a basket beside him and handed it forward.

The woman took it and wanted to close the window, but the boatman glanced into the room, "Girl, is this a person living here?" ”

"You're worried about the boatman......" She seemed to brush her hair inadvertently, and lifted the corner of her veil.

The boatman almost fell to the surface of the boat, "God...... It's getting late...... Gone away......" Before he finished speaking, he had already hurriedly propped the boat out of the water alley.

He touched the wine gourd at his feet and poured it violently, before he muttered, "Don't talk about silver...... I won't come to give the gold......"

The window snapped shut, blocking out the chill outside.

"Ah Jing......" she called.

The door was gently opened, and the woman with her bun came in with a smile, "What does the girl command?" ”

Xi Rong pointed to the bamboo basket on the table, "Take it, stew the soup, and give her a drink." ”

Ah Jing responded, stepped forward to take a bamboo basket, and took a look, "It's a fat fish, but I don't know how much ...... she can drink."

Xi Rong took off the veil on his face, and suddenly said coldly: "You can drink as much as you want." ”

Seeing Ah Jing turn away, he stopped her again, "Feed her when the soup is warm, she doesn't know hot or cold now, and she is easy to burn." ”

Ah Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "The girl is actually very kind-hearted, and she wants such a fierce ......"

"It's not my problem to get burned." Xi Rong took the half-hidden scroll on the desk and lowered his gaze.

Ah Jing stuck out his tongue and carried the bamboo basket out of the house.

By the time the fish soup was ready, it was late at night. Ah Jing served the soup and went straight to the wing room on the west side. There was only one candle burning in the room, and the brazier burned very brightly, so that the faces of the sleeping people on the couch were clearly visible.

Ah Jing helped the woman up, half-leaned, scooped a spoonful of the warm fish soup on the side, and brought it to the woman's mouth.

"Can my sister hear Ah Jing speak? Anyway, take a few sips, you look like this, let the family see it, how sad...... Miss Xirong also tried her best, but if you don't eat or drink, even the gods can't save you, don't you say ......?"

The soup slipped from the woman's lips, and Ah Jing hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it clean for her.

"Still not?" Xi Rong didn't know when he arrived behind him, leaning against the door, holding a sleeve stove in his hand.

Ah Jing was still holding the soup cup in his hand and shook his head, "No, I can't drink it." Relying on those few pills to survive every day, how can it be good......"

Xirong didn't say anything more, was silent for a while, and then turned around and walked out of the house. When I got to the bottom of the porch, I saw when the snow was falling outside, and coughed lightly.

Someone quickly came out of the shadows and stood silently.

"Go find someone for me." She looked at the snow and seemed to be muttering to herself.

The figure quickly disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and the snow gradually accumulated in the small courtyard, covering the footprints, as if it was just an illusion.

Jin Youzi was put on the rack and staggered out of the wine house, drunk and dazed.

"Brother Dai, I'm fine...... You see I'm fine, you don't have to send ......"

Dai Jin frowned, "It's snowing, send you back, don't fall asleep and freeze halfway." ”

"Freezing? Frozen well! A big dream, clean and clean, everything is over......" Jin Youzi violently broke free from him and ran wildly down the street.

Passers-by saw that he was dressed in madness and smelled of alcohol, and he was busy avoiding him.

He ran to the river, and then he staggered to a halt, still holding the wine cup in his hand.

The snow is not small, and it falls on the surface of the river one after another, but it is in an instant.

Jin Youzi drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and looked at the river, "I agreed to everything you said...... You said you went back and waited, but you weren't there...... It's always gone all of a sudden...... This time, for what......

They said you were stopped by a thief and fell into the water with an arrow...... Say you can't find it...... said that the water was too urgent, and I was afraid that it would have been washed away a long time ago......

Bah! Those useless things...... How do you know you're watery? It's the best, but how can it happen......

Right? You must be fine, and you're the same as before, just away for a while......

You'll be back, you talk! If you don't say anything, I'll say yes......"

A few idlers on the side looked at him crazy, but the robe on his body was a brocade collar, and they all stepped forward.

"Childe drinks happily, I'm afraid it's very hot, this robe should be useless, it's better to let my brother wear it......"

Jin Youzi didn't reply, he tore off his robe and threw it to them, "Take it away, take it away...... Useless useless ......"

The idlers didn't expect it to be so easy to get their hands on, and they surrounded him to take the money bag and jade pendant from his waist.

Jin Youzi stared straight at the river in front of him, as if he didn't notice it.

Those people quickly touched all the valuable things, and one of them suddenly said: "Although this person is drunk, after all, he has seen my face, and there is no one here, so it is better to ...... Push down the river to ......"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt a pain in the back of his knees, and his legs were weak, and he knelt on the snow. The rest of the people also fell to their knees in pain. looked around but saw no one, so frightened that several people immediately ran clean.

Jin Youzi had already been dragged to sit on the ground, and when he heard footsteps approaching, he stopped behind him.

An unfamiliar voice, without a bit of temperature, "The person Childe is looking for, can he be called Tong Fu?" ”
