39. Floating corpses
Several people led the horses, chasing all the way, and suddenly heard a burst of singing from the Luoshui, the song was simple and long, which was the tune passed down by the fishermen here.
Li Guxing unconsciously became vigilant, looked away, and saw a fisherman on the lonely boat wearing a thin coat holding a long penny swaying on the water, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is this fisherman so strange, going out to fish in the middle of winter, and wearing such a thin clothes, he must be very human, everything is careful." ”
He thought so in his heart, but his face did not leak half a minute, and turned to Xu Nian and said, "Brother Xu, do you want to ask this old man?" ”
Xu Nian looked anxious, and said a little angrily: "What do you ask?" What can you ask?! But his expression was not as anxious as it appeared, and a trace of joy quietly leaked from the corners of his mouth.
Li Guxing saw that he was angry, and explained: "Maybe Qian Rou took the waterway, we haven't seen half of Qian Rou's figure for a morning, it's better to ask first, if she really takes the waterway, let's change the way, so as not to continue to be so blind." ”
Xu Nian held back his anger and said helplessly: "That's it......."
Zhao Wuqian glared at Li Guxing, his complexion changed several times, and his eyes turned fierce.
Li Guxing turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't seen anything, and even had a slight smug look on his face, took a sharp breath, and shouted loudly: "Uncle! Uncle! I have something to ask you about. ”
Li Guxing's internal strength is already good, after the opportunity of Wanyou Inn, the internal strength has reached a higher level, although the skill is damaged, this time he shouted, the voice is thick and abundant, and it can be transmitted for two or three miles.
When the old man heard this, he immediately stopped singing, raised his palms above his eyebrows to block the sun, and shouted, "What's the matter?!" ”
Li Guxing said: "Uncle, come and talk about ......"
The fisherman walked little by little, got out of the boat, looked left and right, and asked, "Which one calls me?" ”
Li Guxing arched his hand like him, and said humbly: "My husband is me, I have something important to ask you." ”
He sneaked a look at Xu Nian, and said, "It's just...... It's just that this matter is relatively secret, and I ask my husband to keep it secret for us. ”
The fisherman smiled, with a little cunning on his honest face, scratching his head with his hand, neither agreeing nor refusing, and the upward arc of his mouth was intriguing.
This smile Li Guxing is very familiar, and the little eunuch in the palace often makes such an expression when he asks for personnel.
He stretched out his hand in front of Zhao Wuqian, very arrogant, as if Lao Tzu asked his son for money, the meaning could not be more obvious.
Zhao Wuqian said aggrievedly: "You really treat me as the God of Wealth." ”
Li Guxing said: "In these years, how can you do it without giving some silver?" Does it depend on the name of our Fuwei Dart Bureau? ”
"This ......"
Zhao Wuqian was a little hesitant, he went down the mountain and brought a lot of assets, but he couldn't bear such expenses. He himself is a big spender, and with Li Guxing, who has surpassed everything, even the gold and silver mountains are empty.
He looked at Li Guxing with resentment, this face no longer looked like a good person in his eyes, more like a greedy rich man.
Seeing him hesitate, Li Guxing urged: "Hurry up, I won't do anything to bully others." Think about it, my mask, no one can pretend, just put on the mask before doing bad things, everything is borne by others, it is much easier to do bad things, my name has not stinked over the years, what I rely on is integrity! ”
"Masks? Conscience? Zhao Wuqian seems to have thought of something, the so-called not forgetting the original intention, not losing his heart, the kung fu of the mask is a hundred damage to the Taoist, and his heart is not a good intention.
Suddenly, he figured it out, and suddenly it dawned on him, it turned out that Li Guxing was playing dumb riddles with him, "Maybe I should smear something......
Zhao Wuqian pretended to be helpless and said: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you!" ”
He touched and touched his chest, taking the opportunity to smear the poison on the silver coin, his face was extremely entangled, as if he had reached the point of exhaustion, took out a few copper plates and put them in the palm of his hand, and looked at them reluctantly, "Hey, the God of Wealth also has times when he is poor." ”
He looked at Li Guxing and stared at the copper plate in his palm, and said with a sad face: "Let's go, just let this loser thing Huo Huo." With that, he put a few copper plates in the fisherman's hands.
The fisherman took the copper plate and smiled innocently, but still did not speak.
Li Guxing scolded: "Why are you so stingy?!" ”
Zhao Wuqian shrugged his shoulders, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, you have already made me empty-handed, and if you ask for money, no!" Not a single copper plate! Or you can see how much my life is worth, and sell it for me! ”
Before he finished speaking, he sat down on the ground, crossed his legs, and looked like a countryman complaining and complaining.
Xu Nian hesitated for a while, stepped forward, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his cuff and stuffed it into the fisherman's hand, as if he had prepared it in advance, "Uncle, I am in a hurry, I didn't bring too much money, please don't dislike it, please accept it if you have any meaning." ”
The fisherman's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked relieved, and reached out to take the silver and the copper plates and stuffed them into his robe.
"Don't blame me for only recognizing money, I'm relying on the mountains and water, and I can make some money if I go out a little."
He patted his waist and said: "I have had bad luck all these years, this waist bag has long been empty, and I went into the water to fish early this morning, and it is still empty." He shook the empty basket in front of a few people, "I'm a real person." ”
Li Guxing smiled awkwardly and said sarcastically: "Understand and understand, you are a real person...... Real people ......."
"This money is enough, don't open your mouth, my husband, our money bag ...... As you know, it's not been easy. ”
The fisherman touched the silver and smiled, "Enough is enough, just ask whatever you want." ”
Xu Nian snatched the talk, looking impatient, "Dare to ask my uncle, have you ever seen a girl who looks extraordinarily beautiful." "It is said that if you care, you will be chaotic, but Xu Nian's performance like this is not fake.
Zhao Wuqian secretly turned Li Guxing with his elbow, put it to his ear and asked, "Is he true or hypocritical?" ”
Li Guxing looked at Xu Nian, his eyes were full of doubts, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he always felt that something was strange.
He turned his head and whispered in Zhao Wuqian's ear: "I can't see the truth or falsehood, it should be true." ”
Zhao Wuqian said: "I can only watch it for the time being." ”
The fisherman took out a cigarette pouch from his coat, rubbed the flint and lit it, but the wind was strong by the river, and the flint was blown out by the wind as soon as it was touched, and he beat it several times in succession, which made him unhappy.
Li Guxing had a good eye to see that he stretched out his hands to block the wind, this time, the flint was on fire, and the fisherman took a puff and spit out a puff of smoke, and the smell of smoke choked people violently, causing several people to cough.
The fisherman said slowly: "There are so many beautiful girls, which one are you talking about......"
Li Guxing took out the portrait from his chest, this is Zhao Wuqian's Danqing wonderful pen, the portrait is lifelike, you can know it at a glance.
The fisherman took another puff of his cigarette and looked closely at the person in the portrait, gradually falling into deep thought.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he spat out smoke rings, "Come to remember, I seem to have seen this girl this morning." ”
The four of them surrounded him, and Xu Nian grabbed the fisherman's hand, "Really?!" Where is this girl now? ”
He was emotional, his hand was very tight, the fisherman was in pain, grinning in pain, "Let go!" Let it go! ”
Xu Nian looked apologetic, and hurriedly bowed, "I'm sorry, uncle, I ......"
The fisherman glanced at him, then smiled evilly, "That girl is your sweetheart?" ”
This sentence hit Xu Nian's heart, and there was rarely a shy look on his face, and he stopped talking and nodded silently.
The fisherman sighed, knocked the cigarette pouch to his feet, poured out the dust from the cigarette pot, and lamented, "It's a pity...... It's a pity ......."
The hearts of the four of them tightened, and Xu Nian even put his face close to the fisherman, "What, what's a pity?" ”
The fisherman stretched out his hand to push Xu Nian away, and patted it on the robe with his hand, "Early this morning, there was a drifter on the river, dressed in a red wedding dress and with his hair scattered, although the bubble was a little swollen, but this appearance is not much different from the portrait in your hand." ”
After hearing this, Xu Nian's body shook, fell, and sat on the ground, muttering in his mouth, "It's over, it's over!" ”
Li Guxing and Zhao Wuqian exchanged glances several times, and their hearts were sympathetic.
The two helped Xu Nian up, and Li Guxing comforted him: "It's just a little similar to the portrait, it's nothing, and we haven't seen his body with our own eyes." ”
Zhao Wuqian has always been vicious, but he couldn't bear it at this time, and said widely, "Maybe my portrait is not good, after all, it is painted according to the mask, it is already a little bad, and then through my hands, maybe it is even worse." ”
Xiao Han watched coldly, he had lived alone in the tomb for a long time, and he had not experienced family and friendship for many years, let alone the love between men and women, and his indifferent attitude made people feel a little cold-blooded.
Xu Nianxiang grabbed the last glimmer of hope and stood up strongly, "You're right, if you haven't found the body yet, Rou'er may not die!" ”
He kowtowed like a fisherman, and said: "Please also ask the old man to tell me where the corpse is, the great kindness will be unforgettable in this life, and the four of us will always feel the kindness of the old man!" ”
The fisherman picked him up, looked at the young man in front of him and thought of himself at the beginning, everyone has a young age, who has not been in love and pain.
He patted Xu Nian's shoulder and said slowly: "Young man, it's better not to know some things than to know. Are you sure you're looking for the body? I have seen countless people in my life, but there are still relatively few people when I look away. ”
“......”
The four of them were speechless for a while, and the fisherman's words were like a steel knife, which directly penetrated into Xu Nian's heart, making his already blood-drenched heart even more scarred.
Xu Nian almost gritted his teeth to pieces, and was ruthless, "I, I want to know!" ”
The fisherman pointed upstream, "That man has been pulled to the shore by us, and he should not be buried yet, so go and see it." ”
Xu Nian kowtowed a few times, jumped on the horse, and galloped away, as fast as the wind.
Li Guxing, Zhao Wuqian, and Xiao Han followed with their lives.
Zhao Wuqian said: "Lao Li, did you go a little too far this time?" ”
Li Guxing said: "Little Zamao, are you different from what I thought?" ”
Zhao Wuqian was silent for a while, "I have little experience in walking the rivers and lakes, if you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have thought of it." ”
Li Guxing was speechless for a while, "You Zhao Wuqian is the next head of the Kunlun faction, you have little experience in the rivers and lakes, then I, Li Guxing, am a chick." ”
Zhao Wuqian smiled and explained: "I have been practicing martial arts in the mountains all these years, and you have been roaming the rivers and lakes under the protection of the government. I don't know anything, why don't you use a sword? ”
Xiao Han also has doubts, since he saw Li Guxing, he has always used a finger sword, at most a brush, but he has never seen him use a sword, a swordsman without a sword, it seems like a joke.
Li Guxing has his own suffering, a pain from the bottom of his heart, it is this pain that makes him no longer hold the sword, and it is precisely because of this pain that he has become a vain person in the rivers and lakes.
