Volume 2 The Journey in the Wind and Snow Chapter 14 The Scholar in White
Where is this?
The young man opened his eyes slightly, the dazzling sunlight made him unable to adapt for a while, he rubbed his eyes, got up, looked around, a little ignorant.
It was a very small dilapidated temple with dry weeds on the ground, and the entire top of the temple had been broken and sunlight was shining from above.
Because of the sweat on his body, his clothes stuck to his skin, very uncomfortable, he used his hand as a fan, waved, outside the temple, there was a dense forest, there was a path, from not far away, there were bursts of noisy cicadas.
"Are you awake?" Beside the young man, there was a young man of his age, a handsome little white-faced scholar,
The young man nodded, and the little scholar patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly, "Let's go quickly, we still have to hurry." ”
Oh yes, it seems that I still need to hurry somewhere, the day is very short, and I can't delay it any longer.
The boy stood up, but he was still puzzled, who was he and where was he going?
The little scholar packed his luggage and walked out of the temple first, and when he found that the young man was still standing motionless, he asked puzzledly, "Aren't you leaving?"
The boy answered, scratching his head, feeling as if he had forgotten something very important.
He quickly ran to the little scholar's side, and the two of them walked side by side on the path, the homework seemed to have just rained, and the soil on the ground was still carrying water, very wet and sticky, and every step was a footprint, and there were many animals besides theirs.
The two walked silently, and finally, the little scholar couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Why don't you speak today?"
"Huh?" The young man was still thinking just now, and vaguely felt something, as if he was about to grasp his thoughts, but now he was suddenly interrupted by the little scholar, and the thoughts were also broken.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it.
The boy smiled shyly, a little embarrassed, "It's okay, that, you might find it hard to believe when you say it...... I seem to have amnesia?"
"Huh?" the little scholar was startled and stopped.
He knew the young man in front of him, this person was not the kind of person who liked to tease others, and now that he said such things, coupled with his strange behavior today, it was true nine times out of ten.
The little scholar patted his face in annoyance, now things are not easy to do, how can a person suddenly lose his memory in a good manner?
"Actually, when I look at you, it feels a little familiar. The boy said.
The little scholar sighed, "Of course, because I already know you...... Just some time ago, you and I had similar interests and decided to go on the road together. ”
The boy shook his head, "No, I feel like we've known each other for a long time. ”
"Really?" the little scholar touched his chin, not taking the young man's words to heart, thinking that it was just his nonsense after his amnesia.
Looking at the young man who was in a somewhat depressed mood, the little scholar pressed his shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, let's just know each other again, it's still a long way from the capital here, I believe that during the journey, your memory will be restored." The little scholar smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to the young man, "Lin Mujiu, this is my name." ”
The boy pointed to himself and asked, "What about me?"
The little scholar was taken aback when he heard this, "You even forgot your name?"
The young man nodded, and the little scholar held his forehead.
It seems that things are even worse than he thought.
"The rest of your life, this is your name, you call the rest of your life, the rest of your life, the rest of your life. ”
"Oh. The rest of his life suddenly realized that his name was like this, and it seemed to be.
"It's almost dawn, let's hurry up. ”
The two walked for a full hour, and along the way, the two of them kept talking about it, after all, they forgot a lot for the rest of their lives, and Lin Mujiu could also tell him a lot, they came to a place called Chenxi Town, according to Lin Mujiu, this town is located in the north of Zhejiang.
After finding a tavern to rest for the night, the two continued on their way.
More than a month has passed, and the friendship between the two has become very strong.
"Finally arrived in the capital. The little scholar looked at the bustling street in front of him, and was very emotional, and his eyes were full of infinite yearning.
He didn't put much thought into these things for the rest of his life, after all, he didn't even know who he was now.
In such a daze, he finished his imperial examination for the rest of his life.
He made an appointment with Lin Mujiu to meet outside the examination room.
Yu Sheng was the first to hand in the papers, and he was the first person to come out of the entire examination room.
During the exam, he felt that his whole consciousness was very blurred, and before he knew it, the entire volume was filled, and he didn't even know what he had written.
After a period of waiting, Lin Mujiu then walked out of the examination room.
Looking at the rest of his life that had been waiting for a long time, he didn't remember being surprised, although this friend of his had lost his memory, but his insights on literature seemed to be still there, and from time to time he would say something surprising and say something that seemed fantastical to outsiders.
"How?" asked Yu Sheng.
Lin Mujiu smiled slightly, "It's okay." ”
After many days of waiting, the day of the unveiling of the list finally ushered in.
The two of them got up early in the morning and hurried to the location, and even though they got up early, there were still many people who arrived earlier than them.
The crowd gradually gathered, but fortunately they came early and had a relatively good position.
The person who unveiled the list came, Lin Mujiu came up, saw his name, and was overjoyed, and then hurriedly began to look for the name of the rest of his life, but he didn't find it.
Lin Mujiu was stunned, he didn't know how to face this friend of his, standing in front of him, he felt something choking in his throat, and it was difficult to speak.
In the end, after some hesitation, Lin Mujiu told him about the rest of his life.
He originally thought that he would be very excited for the rest of his life, but this guy was completely heartless, as if he was not the one who fell off the list.
He patted Lin Mujiu, smiled and said, "What are you doing in a daze, you are the top of the list, let's celebrate......"
The two found a restaurant and rested as soon as they got drunk.
......
Time is like a rushing river, fleeting.
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
In the past ten years, the wind and waves have been calm, and their lives have been uneventful so far.
Lin Mujiu married a beautiful girl and became a well-known official.
And for the rest of his life, he still lived heartless for more than ten years, the two lived a little farther away, and usually only exchanged letters, which learned that Lin Mujiu was going to marry a wife, and he knew that he had to leave.
Lin Mujiu's wife is very beautiful, and she is the daughter of an ordinary family in their local area.
He is about ten years younger than Lin Mujiu, and he is only sixteen this year.
She and Yu Sheng also know each other, after all, Yu Sheng and Lin Mujiu are good friends, even if their homes are far away, Lin Mujiu occasionally takes time to take his little lady to Yu Sheng's house to play.
The rest of his life is a farmer, the family is surrounded by walls, but they know the environment of the mountains and wilderness very well, every time Lin Mujiu they will harvest a lot of fun in the rest of their lives, the three of them play together, play, when the three of them are together, it seems to forget all the troubles, this is a very good time, unforgettable.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Yu Sheng looked at Lin Mujiu and the little girl beside him, and quipped, "I didn't expect that the little girl at the beginning would become a wife now, and time flies." ”
"What a wife, it's so annoying!" the little girl blushed and took a sip.
In fact, the rest of their lives are just simple feelings, the time they played together seemed to be just yesterday, it turned out that in a flash, two years have passed......
During the conversation, Yu Sheng's eyes kept looking at Lin Mujiu's wife, without concealing it at all, just looking at it directly, although he knew that it was rude, but he always felt that the more this little girl looked, the more familiar she became.
The little girl frowned, puffed out her cheeks, and made a grimace at the rest of her life, she had already begun to make a small calculation in her heart, and began to calculate, and she would have to fix this "pervert" after a while.
I have to say that the first impression of the rest of his life is really not good, the clothes on his body are tattered, and he is also lustful and rude, no one wants to talk to him, he has been drinking and drinking alone, Lin Mujiu has to deal with other friends and family in the officialdom, and he can't estimate the rest of his life.
The wedding ended lively, many literati and scholars came to congratulate, no one noticed, and the little girl slipped away.
The rest of his life was drinking wine on the side, watching Lin Mujiu deal with all kinds of people, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he shook his head.
The rest of his life was drinking, and he suddenly heard a few people behind him discuss:
"This little lady of the Lin family is so handsome......"
"yes, if I could play for one night...... "The man made a sound of enjoyment.
Yu Sheng listened silently, and secretly said in his heart, beast.
Then the man said: "Don't beat that little lady's idea, Chen Xianling has already taken a fancy to him." ”
Hearing this, Yu Sheng stopped pouring wine, put down the flask, and began to look around carefully.
Damn it. The rest of his life scolded secretly, secretly saying that something was wrong.
He hurriedly ran to Lin Mujiu and pulled him over.
Lin Mujiu was still chatting with some so-called literati and scholars, but he was suddenly dragged by Yu Sheng, but he was not angry.
Looking at the rest of his life in a hurry, Lin Mujiu was also a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid something has happened to your lady. Yu Sheng said.
Lin Mujiu was stunned for a long time, only then did he realize that his wife had disappeared without knowing when, and he was very remorseful in his heart, just now he only cared about chatting with others and ignored her.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have some things, I have to go first, everyone, please feel free, you're welcome, if you have any orders, just tell my subordinates. Lin Mujiu said, and he and Yu Yinyu rushed out of the door.
They began to search outside, and in the process, Lin Mujiu listened to Yu Sheng tell the ins and outs of the matter.
After learning that it was Chen Xianling who was secretly doing his tricks, he secretly clenched his fists.
"This Chen County Commander originally made things difficult for me when I took office, today I got married, he suddenly came to congratulate, I thought he wanted to show favor to me, but I didn't expect ......"
Lin Mujiu is an upright person, after he became the county lieutenant, he did not accept any bribes, and the situation in the entire county was rectified, which seriously affected the interests of Chen County, as a corrupt official, he was greedy for money exploited from the people, if the wicked people in the county were rectified by Lin Mujiu, where would he go to extort?
Yu Sheng secretly said in his heart, sure enough, it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he was uneasy and kind.
Lin Mujiu is only a county with a very low economic level, but it is already very good to be a county lieutenant at this age, and it can be said that he has a bright future, so he will naturally find people to be jealous.
Yu Sheng looked at the anxious Lin Mujiu, and said in his heart that there was no way to go on like this, "Do you know where Chen Xianling's home is? ”
Lin Mujiu nodded.
Then the two began to run and arrived outside Chen Xianling's house.
The two guards of the Chen family naturally knew Lin Mujiu, although it was clear that this person was not dealing with his own master, but after all, he came in person, and he still had to do something on the surface.
"I don't know what happened to the county lieutenant Lin? My lord happened to be absent. ”
Lin Mujiu didn't expect to eat a closed door soup as soon as he came up, his wife was gone, and he couldn't seem to say it when he came to someone else's house to find it.
"Fuck off. Yu Sheng went up and kicked down a doorman, and then kicked the door open.
This kick was very hard, and he only felt a sharp pain in his toes for the rest of his life, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and limped into the house.
"Someone has broken into Chen's mansion, come on!" shouted the doorman.
Soon, many of the guards in the palace arrived and surrounded them.
Inside the house.
Chen Xianling also heard the movement outside, and hurriedly grabbed another man beside him, saying, "Don't do it, stop it first!"
Another man's voice came from behind the curtain, "It's coming, it's coming." ”
The man walked out and glanced at the bed, then looked at Chen Xianling and asked, "What happened?"
"The kid from the Lin family seems to have come to the door!" said Chen Xian Ling while putting on his clothes.
The man was also stunned when he heard this, and then quickly put on his clothes, and the two hurriedly walked out of the door.
A group of men who brought it surrounded Yu Sheng and Lin Mujiu, and there was no doubt that they were all guards of the Chen Mansion, and there were dozens of them in total.
"County Lieutenant Lin, you suddenly broke into Chen's mansion at night, isn't that right?" Headed by the Chen family's housekeeper, he looked like a thief and a treacherous villain.
Neither of them answered, and for the rest of their lives, they saw a man with a bloated figure and an official uniform, and a man who was as thin as a bamboo pole and also wore an official uniform, walking towards them.
When everyone saw the man, they all consciously gave way and respectfully said to the bloated man: "Chen County Order" and to the lean man: "Zhang Xiancheng".
Undoubtedly, that's who they are.
Chen County Ling looked at Lin Mu for a long time, he didn't dare to meet his eyes, his eyes kept dodging, but he pretended to be majestic and said: "County Lieutenant Lin, you visited my Chen Mansion at night, I don't know what it was for?"
Lin Mujiu stopped grinding at this moment, went straight to the point, and asked, "Where is my lady?"
Hear the words. Chen Xianling and everyone laughed, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"County Lieutenant Lin, I'm afraid you're not confused, right? You are looking for a lady, how did you find someone else's door?" Chen Xianling smiled playfully, his eyes cold.
Lin Mujiu didn't answer, he only listened to the words of the rest of his life at present, and there was no sufficient evidence to prove that his wife was here, he believed in the rest of his life, but what about the others?
Yu Sheng patted Lin Mujiu, who was distracted, smiled at him slightly, and said, "It's okay, I'll solve it." ”
He walked straight in front of Chen Xianling and looked at Chen Xianling with a smile.
Chen Xianling felt the smile of the rest of his life, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, and asked angrily: "You, what are you going to do?!"
Yu Sheng said: "Don't do anything, Chen County Order doesn't need to be nervous," he changed his words, and suddenly asked: "County Order, have you ever heard of a pig that can jump?"
"Jumping pigs?" What is the problem of the donkey's head not being in the horse's mouth?
Before Chen Xianling could think about it, suddenly, Yu Sheng raised his foot and kicked hard at Chen Xianling's lower body.
This heavy blow was too sudden, and before everyone could react, they saw Chen Xian Ling scream in pain, then covered his lower body, jumped up, and knelt on the ground.
"Master!" the housekeeper of the Chen family was startled, and hurriedly went up to support Chen County.
At this time, Yu Sheng hurriedly looked back at Lin Mujiu and said, "Let's go!" Yu Sheng pulled his legs and ran towards Chen's mansion, and Lin Mujiu also reacted quickly and caught up.
Zhang Xiancheng secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't be stunned, chase after it!"
Only then did the subordinate react and hurriedly chased after him.
The rest of his life searched in the corridor, and finally found a room with a light inside.
He kicked the door open, and a smell came to his face.
He covered his mouth and nose and squinted.
After seeing the situation in the house, he was stunned, only to feel that his heart sank, and he stood in place, not knowing what to do.
I saw Lin Mujiu's lady fainting in front of the dresser in disheveled clothes, bleeding from her wrists, and on the ground, there was a pair of bloody scissors.
Before Yu Sheng could react, Lin Mujiu felt rushed in, picked up his mother, and shook her petite body.
"Wanlin, Wanlin, wake up, wake up!" Lin Mujiu began to choke at this moment.
Wan Lin: Yu Sheng watched the lively and lovely little girl in front of him die in front of him, and the grief and anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
At this time, Chen Xianling had already rushed to the scene with the support of his subordinates, looking at everything in front of him, and his heart was cold.
Lin Mujiu saw that Chen County's order was coming, his eyes were red, and he shouted angrily about a brute, so he rushed towards Chen's county, but was stopped by the guards of the Chen family.
"Brute, brute!" Lin Mujiu struggled with the guard's control, punching and kicking the air.
"County Lieutenant Lin, why are you so excited?" asked Chen County Ling pretending to be calm. It's like you don't know what's going on.
"You killed my wife!you, you, you humiliated her!!" Lin Mujiu's face looked very hideous.
Chen Xian Ling said stiffly, "Eh, County Lieutenant Lin, what you said is not right, I don't know how your lady died in my mansion," his round eyes rolled, "You don't have any evidence that I did it." ”
"My lady died in your mansion, this is the proof!" Lin Mujiu roared.
Chen Xianling smiled coldly, "You suddenly broke into my Chen family at night, saying that you were looking for your wife, and in the end your lady died in the mansion, how did County Lieutenant Lin think of coming to me to look for someone? I'm afraid it wasn't premeditated and wanted to frame me! Oh...... , I know, you killed your lady, and then smuggled her body to the Chen family, and wanted to frame me so that I could seize the position of my county commander, right!?"
Lin Mujiu looked at Chen Xianling, he had already lost his mind at this moment, he just stared at him, looked at him, and didn't even have a word to refute.
For the rest of his life, he saw everything in his eyes, and at this moment, he already knew everything.
What is going on...... Even if you know what is happening in front of you, it is a hundred years ago...... But, I still can't stand it!
No one cared about the rest of his life, and no one would have thought that he had the courage to do so, Yu Yinyu suddenly rushed forward, caught off guard, he pulled out a big knife from the waist of a guard, and slashed towards Chen Xianling!
"Stop!" Zhang Xiancheng was the first to react, but it was too late to stop it.
Brush!
Hand up and knife down.
Crimson blood splashed on Yu Yinyu's face, and also on Lin Mujiu's body.
Chen Xianling didn't understand what was happening, he only felt that his body was very light, and he flew very high, very high.
"Smack. ”
The head fell to the ground, and Chen Xianling still had a blank expression on his face until he died, obviously, he didn't expect this scene to happen.
In an instant, the air in this room seemed to freeze, and everyone was stunned in place, stupidly watching Chen Xianling's head roll to the ground.
"Ahh
Yu Yinyu naturally wouldn't give him a chance, chased after him, kicked him down, stepped on Zhang Xiancheng's back, watched him continue to struggle, indifferently raised the big knife in his hand, and chopped down!
