Chapter 2 The Rise and Fall of the Starlight
"Words - during the Jiaping period, the north of the Yellow River was dry and locusts, and the grass and trees were exhausted for thousands of miles. The locust is like corn at the beginning, as big as a fly for several days, can jump in groups, and can cover the sky and the sun" He is short, but the dantian is vigorous, and his voice is as loud as a bell, and he is indeed the material for eating this bowl of rice, "At this moment, the two immortal grandmothers personally led the group of teachers and shouted: 'You wait for the locust plague, and you can't enter the county boundary at hand!'" He pinched his throat and learned the woman's voice, which was not quite like it, and his expression was quite funny, and the audience was in an uproar, which was a purchase. If others have such a good appearance and figure, I am afraid that they will be ashamed of themselves and hide, and they will not be able to live in fear; And Yang Yizhi did the opposite, but he took advantage of this incompleteness, wandered the wreckage, and didn't care, "A piece of locusts under the black pressure came straight to the second fairy grandmother, and before she reached her old man's house, she fell to the ground and died, and the locusts looked at each other, scattered in a hurry, turned their heads and returned, and the place they passed through was pure and clean." And this south of the Yellow River - to be preserved! He slowly came to an end amid a cheer.
Xu Youran and Long Jin applauded vigorously, looked around, only to find that there were already many spectators standing under the originally scattered audience, and some people even bought cakes and listened while gnawing and listening.
After telling a few more stories about the two immortal grandmothers, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Yang Yizhi said: "Today's interest is very good, tell you some stories on the rivers and lakes, ask for tea money according to the old rules, and give it all free today, okay?" ”
"Good, good—" The free story, of course, couldn't be better.
"Then let's talk about a piece of "Cool Moon Woman", the guest officers have to listen well-"
Xu Youran clapped her hands and applauded, she has liked to listen to stories since she was a child, but she loved to listen to strange fairy and strange stories when she was a child, and now she loves the stories of chivalry and righteousness.
Different bookstores (storytellers) have their own styles, such as the poignant story of the pro-plum and the sweetheart forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes, and some people are tricky in love affairs, which is sad and touching and tear-jerking; Some people focus on the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and they talk about it in a heartfelt way, Yang Yizhi has both, and it is witty and interesting, which is really fascinating.
"That night, in an inn in Xiaofangpan City in Yumen Pass, a big man in the shape of a biao was warming wine, and his wife was sewing and mending by candlelight. The two of them have passed their youth, and they are no longer strong, and they are desperate at the end of the world at this moment, and they have become mandarin ducks in distress, which is embarrassing.
The man's gaze fell on the lady's shoulder, and he had lost the warmth of his youth, but the gentleness of the wind and the waves of wheat. Suddenly, he pushed open the window, and turned over onto the snow-covered roof, his hands empty, his eyes slightly squinted, looking down at the man in black who was kneeling and wearing a hat. 'Why did the little brother step on the snowstorm and disturb my wife's dream. If it's a hot-blooded man, go to the lobby with me to have a glass of warm wine, and then explain that it's not too late. His voice came from the dantian, low and deep, immersed in the night between breaths and breaths, and the internal force was long and immeasurable.
This middle-aged man is the head of the Yulon Dart Bureau and the most wanted criminal in the Yamen, He Youqing. ”
"Okay-" Someone in the audience applauded, which annoyed people and made Xu Youran a little proud.
'The little woman is not strong enough to drink, so she will not drink with the hero.' The person who came turned out to be a woman, He Youqing was so curious in his heart, and was about to speak, the man uncovered the hat with his right hand, and pulled out a white Emei thorn with his left hand, sticking close to the body, picking the thorn and penetrating it, and the move was fatal.
He Youqing dodged left and right, but did not fight back, raised his foot and kicked up, and actually kicked the bayonet in the woman's hand into the snow. There are words in her words, sarcastically sarcastic that she secretly hurts people.
The woman sneered and said loudly: "The overlord abducts a good woman to sell inferior jade and swallow military silver, and the dignified Yulon Dart Bureau is not also a sheepskin covered face and well-dressed beasts? ’
How can such a watery beauty be so blatant in the middle of the night, regardless of the defense of men and women?
He Youqing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this person is Liangyue." ’”
In Yang Yizhi's mouth, the tone of the four characters 'Qianxi Panxi' was particularly gentle, he paused, observed the expressions of the people in the audience, and continued, "Legend has it that there is a woman on the rivers and lakes called Liangyue, wearing a half-cut jade mask, and she is good at close combat.
Could it be her? He Youqing looked at it carefully, under the moonlight, the woman really wore a half-faced blue and white jade mask, painted with auspicious cloud patterns, faintly poked and poked, and it was not clear to see.
He Youqing said: 'There is no way to teach the son, which leads to many incidents - the eldest son is disobedient, and bullying and dominating the market is the party to the disaster; The second son is dull, and he has received it on behalf of others; San'er was careless and lost his military silver on the way to the dart. All crimes are punished together, and the crime is not death, not to mention that my old man has closed most of his property and lost double the money, and as for the capital crime of misappropriating military salaries, he will never dare to bear it - he has nowhere to redress his grievances, so he has to flee in the wilderness. ’
Liang Yue snorted coldly, "I exonerated myself in a few words, if I am innocent, why should I escape to this jade gate with my wife and daughter." ’
He Youqing laughed: 'Why don't you run away? I think I am innocent all my life, punish evil, promote good, and help the poor, how can I behead all the houses and even the three clans for this trumped-up crime? Don't run away? I am Marshal Tianpeng descending to earth - the third is the pig's head. ’”
The audience laughed, I don't know if this is He Youqing's original words or Yang Yizhi's own bridge, this storytelling is also an interesting craft, how to write in the script The audience doesn't know at all, it all depends on the storyteller's communication.
Liang Yue chuckled, and He Youqing said: "The woman is disturbing late at night...... Are you here to kill me, or are you here to arrest me? It's hard to kill me, and it's even more whimsical to catch me. ’
Liang Yue sneered and replied categorically: "The prey in my Liang Yue's eyes is the battle of trapped beasts, and none of them escaped. However, I have always admired heroes and heroes the most, and if you die quietly in this night, it will be a pity and inappropriate. ’
Liang Yue tore off a piece of black cloth, pricked her finger with Emei thorns, and then used blood as a book, wrote a war book on the black cloth, and threw it to He Youqing, He Youqing reached out and took it, and there was only a six-character on it, 'Three days later, Crescent Bay.'" ’
On this river and lake, the blood book duel, never die, if He Youqing accepts, he will be close to the end of the world with cattle and horses; If he doesn't accept it, the reputation of Yulon's dart game will be lost in the hands of a yellow-haired girl for no reason.
This night was even more exposed, the weather was cold, He Youqing held the warm war book in his hand, and asked: 'Dare to ask the woman and me what grievances and hatreds, do you have to meet each other?' ''If you bend the law for bribes and commit adultery, everyone in the world will be punished.'' Liang Yue replied, righteous and awe-inspiring.
He Youqing took away his disappointment and put the war book in his pocket: "Since the people of the world think that Youqing is a great traitor, that's it. The woman is recuperating, and we'll see you in three days. ’
'You're not afraid of death?' Liang Yue asked, holding her head high, tucking the Emei thorn into her sleeve. He Youqing fiddled with his waist with his hand, a peace charm made of his wife and daughter's hair, and his eyes were like torches: "I will never lose this competition." ’
The audience was quiet, and the spectators were all calm, waiting for Yang Yizhi to continue to speak, but he smiled angrily, opened the folding fan, and fanned the wind: "I know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition." ”
Although he knew that this was a common technique used by storytellers, he deliberately whetted people's appetites, so that people would be willing to walk into the teahouse where he was telling the story, and order a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds; But this abruptly stopped, which was really itchy. Inevitably, some people on the field ridiculed him and called him unbearable. When this game was over, Xu Youran and Long Jin took the dumplings to the Zhai Cai Tang of the Erxian Grandma Temple and found Yang Yizhi.
Xu Youran generously took out the dumplings, put them on the table, held chopsticks in both hands and handed them to Yang Yizhi, respectfully: "Uncle Yang, please taste it." ”
Yang Yizhi laughed, he was used to Xu Youran's name of no light or heavy, took the chopsticks, and dipped the dumplings in some of the old vinegar he brought: "En!" The dumplings wrapped in the little loach are really delicious...... "The two children, like two greedy dogs, stood aside, waiting for Yang Yizhi to tell the end of the story, who knew that Yang Yizhi looked at the expressions of the two people eager for knowledge, and thought that it was a gluttonous worm who wanted to eat the dumplings in his bowl, "Do you want to taste it yourself?" ”
Long Jin was about to speak, but Xu Youran's eyes were quick and he blocked back: "Uncle Yang, we have all eaten, you don't have to mind, just let go of your stomach and eat." I still have wine here, as the saying goes, it's dumplings, the more you drink, the more you drink, drink it! ”
Saying that, Xu Youran poured half a bowl for Yang Yizhi from the small clay pot.
"Where did you get the wine at such a young age?" Yang Yizhi said strangely, picked up the bowl, and smelled the smell, as if he was afraid of poisoning him.
"When my mother was alive, she always made wine for my father, and my father was reluctant to drink it." Xu Youran didn't answer positively, deliberately taking advantage of him, wanting him to take advantage of this favor.
"Then I don't dare drink it." Yang Yizhi prevaricated like this, but the bowl was never put down, Xu saw through Xu Youran and fooled him with nice words. And this Long Jin looked at the two people who had forgotten their friends for the year, you came and went, but you couldn't interject in the conversation, a little fool.
"Okay, okay, I made this jar of yours according to my mother's method, what's the matter, I'm afraid it's poisonous, I don't dare to drink it?"
"This wine and meat is a poison that pierces the intestines, and I have long been deeply affected by it, and I am terminally ill and cannot rejuvenate." Saying that, Yang Yizhi took the wine and drank it all, he put down the bowl, frowned and squinted, then wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and sighed, "Little loach is so skillful, I am He De How can I be, if I make five catties of wine koji privately in the previous dynasty, I will be punished with death." Xiaosheng can't be repaid, so it's better to make a promise with his body. ”
Long Jin listened to Yang Yizhi's banter, but he took it seriously, and hurriedly said: "No, the second uncle can be the father of the little loach at his age......" Xu Youran's feet in cloth shoes stepped on the stupid scholar's feet knowing how to shut up, telling him to shut up. Xu Youran said in his heart: I'm afraid this guy is not a fool, and if people laugh at him, he can take it seriously? Besides, I have calculated the eight characters between me and my second uncle, we are destined to make a mistake, if we really get married, I am afraid that the chickens and dogs will jump, and we will not be able to live in peace, we must not.
