Lu Qing and Murong Jiu rode both treasure horses that traveled thousands of miles a day, and it was said that it would not be long before they talked about Dragon and Tiger Mountain, but Murong Jiu was going out for the first time and was curious about everything, so the two of them did not travel very fast.

Anyway, Lu Qing was not in a hurry to go to Longhu Mountain, so he simply accompanied her to stop and go, as if it was a tour of the mountains and rivers.

The two rode their horses for a long time, until they passed a small town, and then slowly stopped, leading the horses to stroll through the streets.

Murong Jiu led the horse and looked at the interesting gadgets on the stalls around him from time to time.

This small city is not big, but there are a lot of people, and there are literati, heroes and peddlers who come and go on the streets, and their hair is yellow.

Although there are many fish, everyone goes their own way, and it seems to be in order.

The vendors shouted honestly, and there was laughter among the passers-by, not as hurriedly as the book suggests.

The little two in the restaurant worked hard to clean up the tables and chairs, and the heroes who came to eat did not lift the table and beat and kill without saying a word like in the story.

Everything is so ordinary, and it is very different from the rivers and lakes in Murong Jiu's heart.

"So this is the rivers and lakes?" Murong Jiu said with emotion as he walked: "I thought that the rivers and lakes were all grievances between chivalrous and gangsters, bloody rain and sword rain, but I didn't expect it to be so plain. ”

"Big people have big people's rivers and lakes, and small people have small people's rivers and lakes." Lu Qing replied: "The rivers and lakes are not only famous heroes and notorious cunning villains, but more ordinary people. ”

The town is not big, and the streets are naturally not long, so even if the two of them stop and go, they quickly walked out of the market and came to a small dock.

There were no people on the wharf, and there was only a small boat docked on the river, on which an old man in a robe was silently smoking a dry cigarette, quite comfortable.

"I think this kind of rivers and lakes are much more vivid than the rivers and lakes that fight and kill." Murong Jiu looked at everything around him and said, "If a person has been fighting and killing all his life, and he can't even sleep well, it is even more uncomfortable than death." ”

"That's why so many people abandon fame and fortune and choose to retire." Lu Qing said again: "It's just that you don't have to think that this place is stable." ”

"Isn't it?" Murong Jiu asked puzzled.

She thought back to what she had seen and heard along the way, everything here was in order, and everyone did not invade each other, wasn't it peaceful?

Lu Qing replied with a smile: "The treachery of the rivers and lakes is not on the surface, and the still water has a deep flow. ”

Then, he pointed to the sloppy old man who was silently smoking dry tobacco on the boat in front of him and said, "Look at that old man, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

Murong Jiu subconsciously replied: "I think he must be an old boatman who ferries all year round, but now that no one is on the boat, he has nothing to do and smoke there." ”

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "No, not only is he not a ferryman, but a bandit who kills people without blinking!" ”

"How so!" Murong Jiujiao exclaimed.

"If the boatman must be a perennial pole, the tiger's mouth and palms should be covered with calluses, but you see his hands, the knuckles are thick and the joints are full of thick calluses, but the inner palms are not calloused."

"This is because he has practiced fist and foot kung fu, and has never used a weapon, let alone a pole."

Lu Qing paused and continued: "Now that the sky is cloudless, if it is an old boatman, you can know that it will never rain today when you look at the sky, and you won't need a coat at all." But he wore a thick coat over his body, and guess why? ”

Murong Jiu didn't know, shook his head and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because he just killed someone, and the blood got on his clothes." Lu Qing replied.

"Huh?!" Murong Jiu subconsciously exclaimed again.

"But since he had killed someone, why didn't he flee immediately, but instead smoked there without panic?" Murong Jiu was puzzled again.

"It's not that he doesn't want to run, but he's being targeted, and he'll die as long as he moves." Lu Qing explained.

"Targeted?"

Murong Jiu subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see any figure at all.

"Not around here, underwater." Lu Qing reminded.

"Underwater?"

Murong Jiu looked at the river when he heard this, and he could indeed see a few tiny reed poles.

Only then did she suddenly realize that those people were hiding in the river water through this reed pole to breathe.

"But why did the old man kill the people on the boat, and why did the people in the water target him?" Murong Jiu was puzzled again.

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "Maybe it's for money, maybe it's because of grievances, everyone has their own reasons, who can say clearly?" ”

After speaking, he motioned for Murong Jiu to get on his horse and prepare to leave this small dock.

Because it's not so quiet in a while, not only will it not be quiet, but it will become a river of blood.

A quiet view may not be pleasant, but a bloody scene can be delightful.

They're here to play, not to kill.

Murong Jiu rode a fast horse and followed Lu Qing's side, and before he had gone far, he heard screams one after another, thinking that there must be a vicious battle of death and life going on.

"Ugh." Murong Jiu, who was on horseback, sighed and said, "I can't imagine that there are unclear grievances and grievances in this small city, and it will be in a situation where you are in a situation of life and death." ”

"This is the rivers and lakes." Lu Qing said: "The rivers and lakes are the grievances and grievances of you, me and him. ”

"Some grievances can be laughed off."

"Some grievances are endless, even if they hide to the ends of the earth, they can't avoid it."

Murong Jiu nodded, everything just now shocked her greatly, and it can be said that it subverted her perception of the rivers and lakes.

"No wonder people in the rivers and lakes say that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes." She said with emotion.

She didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but now she understands it a little.

The reasons behind the affairs of the rivers and lakes are sometimes unimportant.

Because you have your reasons, I have mine.

You and I can't control the behavior of others, and in the end, we can't even control our own behavior.

Because if you don't kill, others will kill you.

And if you kill someone, their friends and relatives will come to you for revenge.

In the end, your hatred, my hatred, and his hatred are entangled like a mess, and they can't be sorted out or explained, and everyone is trapped in the rivers and lakes woven by hatred.

Thinking of this, Murong Jiu suddenly felt that this so-called rivers and lakes were a little boring.

She said loudly to Lu Qing, who was riding a horse beside her, "I suddenly understand your thoughts. ”

"Understand me what?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

"Before, you said that you were not from the world, and you showed indifference to everything, I just thought that you were superb, so you were alone. Now I know that it is because you have seen through the world, because it is too small to accommodate you. Murong Jiu said.

"Now I also want to say that I, Murong Jiu, am not from the rivers and lakes, because the rivers and lakes are too small and too small to accommodate me at all!" She shouted proudly.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud.

This smile is like a thunder shock of the Nine Heavens God.

This smile is like the groan of the abyssal dragon.

The heavens and the earth trembled, and all things bowed down to it.

Everyone in the world is hard to find, and confidants are hard to find,

Lu Qing has both a voice and a confidant, and the two are gathered in one person, isn't this exactly the double perfection that is difficult to find in the world?
