Chapter 51: Sloppy Man
"Today, something unusual is going to happen. Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć info" Shi Dao, his face was slightly condensed, looking up at the sky, his eyes were as deep as an abyss. However, in the depths of his eyes, a touch of confusion pervaded and was unknown.
Shi sensed that something important to him would happen today, and that was a gut feeling.
"What could it be?"
Tilt asked, looking at the man beside her, within reach, but deep in her heart, he seemed to be so far away from her, so far away that he couldn't see clearly, as if he was covered by fog. Even so, she never asked, because she knew that he loved her very much, which ......
That's enough!
She's just a little woman, he's her God, and as long as he's safe, he still loves her, and that's really enough.
"I don't know. ā
Shi shook his head, his voice was a little dazed, and said, "Recently, I have been dreaming of many people, dreaming of a place that is different from this world. The moon is beautiful there, and there are many stars in the night sky. The sun there is not a violet sun, its light is warm... It's warm......
But... The people there are cold... It's cold...... It's called the Northland...... In a dream... My name is Fu Tu Wei, and I ......."
Da!
Suddenly, a sudden sound interrupted Shi's words. Mr. and Mrs. Shi turned their heads to look.
At some point, a scruffy man covered in alcohol walked in through the back door, carrying an adult-sized beast on his shoulders and a flask hanging from his waist. At the man's feet, a large black bow lay on the ground, and the man's hand was empty.
Obviously, the sound just now was the sound of a big bow falling to the ground.
"Hehe, Brother Shi, this is the beast I fought today, please explain. Trouble. ā
Seeing the two Shi couple looking back, the man smiled awkwardly, lowered his body to pick up the big bow, and when he bent down, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. When he looked up, the discoloration was gone.
"Oh, it's you! yes, this fierce tiger beast is about to advance. Its qi and blood are rich, comparable to ordinary fierce beasts. ā
Shi nodded and said with a smile. This person is an acquaintance, ten years ago came to Pingyang City to ask for a living, one-handed archery skills are amazing, if it weren't for his harvest is always used to buy wine, then he must have a good life today.
This man is always drunk and dreaming of death, and it is said that his master has gone missing with him, and he has been looking for many years, but he has not found it.
He was not a drinker when he first arrived, and when he could not find his master in the city, he became like this.
"Maybe I'm tired. Shi sighed slightly.
"Stay here, I'll go inside and prepare the meal. Watching the man put the beast he was carrying on the long table, Tilt smiled at the two of them. Then he turned and went into the house.
"Hello sister-in-law. ā
The man said to Tian'er, and then said loudly to Shi: "Brother Shi, old rules, hehe." ā
The man smiled awkwardly, his body trembling slightly. As he turned to place the bow, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Good!"
Shi smiled, he knew what the man meant. The so-called old rule is that the beast of prey that this person hunts belongs to the stone, and the stone gives him coins.
All he needed was wine, and Shi had already realized that this person was not an ordinary person.
......
......
"Here you go!"
Shi handed a bag of money to the sloppy man and said with a smile: "This is enough for you and more than ten days." ā
"Maybe. The sloppy man said, taking the money bag. The sloppy man did not leave as he had done before, but stood there, hesitating, as if he had something to say.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Seeing that the man was still there, Shi was slightly stunned, and then asked.
"Iā" The sloppy man spoke, but he stopped talking.
"Is there anything I can help me with?"
Seeing the man hesitate, Shi felt that he might encounter some difficulties and needed his help, so he asked.
After that, Shi felt that his words were too direct, and it was inevitably a little hurtful, so he spoke again: "Or maybe there are fewer coins?"
He knew that the man could take care of him, and if the man was really short of money, then Shi would add some more money to "buy" the fierce tiger beast.
"It's not!"
The man quickly shook his head and shouted. Looking at Shi Na's eyes with a look of confusion, the man slowly exhaled a breath and said solemnly: "Brother Shi, I want to talk to you alone." ā
"Huh?"
Shi was slightly stunned, his eyes stared at this man who was always filled with the smell of alcohol, Shi knew that he was very serious, and what he told himself was also very important to this man, even comparable to his life. Looking at the eyes that flashed with an inexplicable light, Shi nodded and said, "Okay!"
......
......
In the north of the city, close to the city wall, there is an old tree standing quietly, watching the changes of the city, watching all things wither, watching the suffering of the world, it ...... I'm getting older.
The withered torso, a few small birds resting on the rickety branches, perhaps they are migrating to a mild place, where the day is again in the middle of winter.
Their beaks comb their messy feathers and rest quietly, and this is just a stopover for them. The cold wind howled, the feathers were messy, the old trees were creaking and babbling, and they had dried up, and the weary birds did not know that when they passed through the city again, there was no longer an old tree standing silently here, silently providing them with a resting place.
Under the old tree, there are several wooden piers placed in a disorderly manner, in previous years, there was a group of naughty children here, listening to an old man tell those bizarre stories, however, the previous year is the previous year after all, the old tree is already old, and the old man is gone.
At this time, at the corner of the road leading to the inner city, two middle-aged men came slowly.
The former carried his hands behind his back, his face was indifferent, and his eyes occasionally flashed with a cold light. When he saw the old tree that had been depleted, his steps slowed down, and his eyes flashed with grief.
Behind him was a sloppy man, with a gourd hanging from his waist, full of wine, his fingers crossed the gourd from time to time, looking at the back, the man's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
......
......
"Back then, Grandpa Li used to tell us stories here!"
Walking to the wooden pier, the two sat down, and Shi said with a little sadness. He remembered the crazy old man who always spoke big words, and there was a flash of crystal light in his eyes at some point, but it was fleeting. It was Shi who used his strength to evaporate the tears, and the men in Pingyang City had no vulnerable side.
"Brother Shi, the events of the year have passed, although the old man died because of you, I believe he will not want you to be like this. ā
The sloppy man was silent for a moment, then said. Although he had not yet arrived in this city that year, his life for more than ten years also gave the man an understanding of what happened back then.
More than ten years ago, the man in front of him was just a teenager. That year, his Aunt Xue was forced to die, and after he returned, she killed many people.
Although there were many people who helped him, he also almost died, it was the old man who always forgot the past that saved him, and no one thought that the crazy old man would be a person stronger than the soldier's head shield.
Although the old man was strong, he was really old, and the old man died in the arms of the man in front of him, and he left with a smile.
He said that he had already paid back the life he owed to Bai, and that he had used his life to pay that man's son, but now, it was Shi who owed him his life......
......
......
"Remember, little rock, don't cry ... How can a manly man cry......"
"I'm tired...... Want to get some sleep... I... I seem to see your father beckoning to me...... Saw the mountains... He asked me to go and drink with him......"
"Tired... Tired... I'm here to accompany you, old man......"
On a bloody night, a young man sat on his knees, holding an old man in his arms, very old, exuding death, and his mouth was bleeding constantly...... The old man was talking, his eyes were shining, and he saw the brothers who had died and died together......
His hand was raised, trying to touch them, but it fell violently and hit the ground, and the glint in his eyes was rapidly fading......
"No!!"
The young man roared loudly, like a wounded beast looking up to the sky and screaming, full of pathos and long-lasting roar, the young man held the old man's body and cried in despair, beside him, several middle-aged men stood silently, they also participated in the killing of the night, and the corners of the shield's eyes were also filled with tears.
......
......
"Whew!"
Under the old tree, Shi took a deep breath of cold air, and a touch of pathos flashed on his indifferent face, he remembered the old man, he died in his arms, and he left with a smile......
"Excuse me, I think about that night. Shi said softly, a little grief in his voice.
"Nothing. ā
The scruffy man shook his head and said. He could understand the man in front of him, because he was not like this back then, the departure of his master, the blood feud of the family......
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Shi calmed down the grief in his heart and asked.
"I want to tell you about my master... Tell me about my experience over the years......"
The sloppy man stood up, placed the flask on his waist on the wooden pier, and looked at the old tree in front of him, which was almost exhausted, as if he had returned to that year......
