In the Yangtze River basin where the two Guangxi meet, there is a village called Shunshui Village.

This village was originally very small, but since a white-faced scholar came a few years ago, it has gradually grown larger.

Now it is also one of the most powerful water villages around.

They didn't rob the poor, they only stared at the salt merchants and other big merchants who passed by.

It's not all robbed, only a part of the goods are left, and they don't kill anyone.

It's a water village that is also a thief.

This white-faced scholar is extremely capable, and he is the master of Shunshui Village. The ideas that come out are often excellent.

The owner of the village has always listened to him, and this scholar has been in the cottage for four or five years.

Now is the year of establishment, and I haven't married yet.

The daughter of the owner of the village is seventeen this year, which is a good year. Ready-made good marriage.

The owner of the village tried several times, but the scholar refused.

After several arguments, the scholar was annoyed and wanted to leave Shunshui Village.

can bluff the owner of the village, where do you dare to force it? I was busy preparing the dowry and married off my daughter.

The master is now Hongshi, who is now known as Hong Siye.

He held a fan, stood outside the water village, and looked into the distance: "This Shunshui village is already the leader in this radius of hundreds of miles." It's no fun to keep it. ”

The one who followed him behind him was no longer the old servant of the year, but a small servant who followed him later.

The little guy is not from the palace, so he doesn't know Hongshi's identity at all, he only follows him, and it's up to him to do whatever he wants.

"Where do you want to go? Didn't you say that Hangzhou is good? Or is it Shudi? It's just that this Shu land is not easy to walk. "Since ancient times, Shu has been difficult.

"Ha, what are you going to do when you're leaving? Why don't we go to Shudi. Wait for another ten years, and then go back to Hangzhou, what do you say? Hongshi fanned a little and went to the stockade.

Today, he can't see a little gloom for a long time, and he lives like a person who plays life.

Of course, I can't see that he is a prince.

Only the bearing on his body is cloth, and he can't hide it. That's a kind of dignity in the bones. Born to be engraved on the body.

The owner of the village is a kind person, and if he can't keep it, he won't force him to stay, and he will be sent to the ship in person.

I repeatedly asked Mr. if he came back, he would definitely return to Shunshui Village.

"Take my words to heart, it's a mistake to be a bandit, and you must not kill them. Don't push people too hard. If you can help people, you can help people. One day, when your water village is no longer under your control, you will retreat bravely. Don't be nostalgic. ”

The owner of the village hurriedly thanked him for his guidance and sent him away.

Sure enough, as Hongshi expected, four years later, the old village owner can no longer manage things comprehensively, he is a kind person, but there are always people under him who are not convinced and feel that they have earned less.

The owner of the old village did not hesitate to leave Shunshui Village with his family, and Shunshui Village was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers half a year later, and there were almost no survivors.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

It is only said that at the moment, Hongshi went all the way to Shu along the river.

A torrential rain trapped him outside the city of Kuizhou.

The rain was so rapid that even the pavilion where he sheltered from the rain was ticking.

As he drank the wine he had brought with him, he suddenly remembered that rainy day in Brother's house many, many years ago.

It's almost the same season, and it's the same drinking.

Now he doesn't drink too light wine, this wine pot is filled with old white dry, the wine taste is mellow, and it is easy to get intoxicated.

And the amount of alcohol he drinks has long been different.

There was no pen and paper in front of him, and he didn't have the heart to paint, just drank in silence and watched the wind and rain on the river.

The west wind was blowing, and he suddenly heard the sound of an unknown bird.

Then the rain gets heavier and heavier. Dye the day a dull silver.

A pot of wine was exhausted, and gradually the wind became less and the rain lessened.

There were no birds in the clouds and rain. However, the wind is colder than that year, and the rain is more torrential than that year.

Over the years, the things that I have forgotten suddenly hit my heart.

Facing the vast river, I suddenly felt lonely.

Heaven and earth are so big, and no one can understand the loneliness.

Now, loneliness can't be said. He could only move on in silence.

All the way to the river.

Shudi is really a good place, and there is a lot of fish and rice.

Hongshi found a restaurant and sat up as the bookkeeper.

That's five years.

Later, he opened a store and started to be a shopkeeper, and now even if the imported products are in Shuzhong, there is also a supply.

People who knew him all called him Fourth Master Hong, knowing that he had no home and no mouth, and the closest thing was the little guy who followed him. Now it's a family.

It's not that no one gave him a matchmaker, but Hongshi just shirked it when he said that there was already a lady in the family.

Even though he was a humble man, he was kind to his neighbors. Be generous to anyone's children.

But a lonely person will always be criticized.

However, there are more kind people in this world after all. Or these kind people will also speak ill of him behind his back.

But they are still willing to be kind on their faces.

So, during the New Year's holidays, Hongshi will also receive things from the neighbors.

Or home-made bacon and preserved duck, or year-round millet beans. Or, a pair of shoes and a pair of socks.

Hiroshi doesn't lack these, but he likes them too.

When he received it, he exchanged it for something from his store. So the neighbors also said, this Fourth Master Hong, although he has a strange temperament, he is a good person.

After the good man Hong Siye was tired of the days in Shuzhong, he left a letter early in the morning and drifted away.

He gave all the belongings here to the neighbors, and at this time, the little maid no longer needed his help.

No one knows where he went.

Hiroshi brought enough silver with him and got on the boat again. This time, he was going to Hangzhou.

When I returned, there was no rain, and I left Shu all the way and arrived in Hangzhou.

It was just the right time, and the lotus flowers in the West Lake bloomed as brilliantly as the morning glow.

He was in the restaurant by the West Lake, and he sat up again.

At this time, he is no longer young, and no one wants to tell him a matchmaker, but cares about whether he has children and whether he has a family.

As he grew older, Hiroshi became more and more fond of laughing.

Always with a warm smile, it makes people feel comfortable to look at.

The nobility in his bones gradually became a comfortable harmony.

Although he is still different, he is becoming more and more kind.

When he was resting, he walked by the West Lake with his hands behind his back, and he saw all the scenery, so he looked at it again.

This scenery is not the same as the four seasons of the West Lake, there is always something to see.

It was also this year that he met the down-and-out monk.

"It's weird, it's weird!" The monk tugged at his sleeve: "You are a strange person! ”

Hongshi was still smiling, and took the monk to the restaurant, regardless of whether he was a monk, he still ordered a table of wine and food.

The monk also laughed and ate a meal regardless of it.

"There should be a dragon spirit between the eyebrows of the gentleman. The life grid should also be extremely valuable, but there is a life grid broken from it! Since it is broken, it should have died early, Mr. Bi is not young, and he did not die young, which is really strange and strange! ”
