Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 9 Heroine
The next day, the day will be clear.
The Jianghu Inn still looked dim, and only the yellow paper curtains reflected some bright light from the outside, which showed that the tables and chairs inside had been neatly arranged, except for the table against the door.
The two benches were crooked, and the other two benches where the people sat had been cut to nothing by the sword, and the several clay bowls and porcelain plates on the table were shattered and looked extremely disorganized. Two of them fell to the table, and some fell asleep.
When Li Guan first woke up, he was really surprised to see the scene in front of him. He shook his head, he was still a little dizzy after drinking three bowls of Jianghu spirits last night, and he couldn't remember what happened last night, but at this time, he saw that Yang Forget and the little brother Wang were asleep between the tables and the place, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
He got up, only to find that his Qinghong sword had unsheathed and landed on the ground.
Li Guan picked up the sword, found the blood stains on the sword again, and after sheathing it, he turned his puzzled gaze to the person at the mahogany table.
Could it be that Xu Wenhuai knew his whereabouts, and this inn was the fault of the pursuers?
The white-haired old man didn't sleep, he met Li Guan's gaze and said, "I slept soundly all night." ”
"What happened last night?"
"Who is he?" The old man did not answer, but asked something else.
"I don't know, it's just ......"
"Acquaintance with your daughter?"
But seeing a burst of sword light in the hall, Li Guan had already killed the old man with a sword.
But the sword body was only one step away from the old man, but it couldn't go any further.
"How do you know-" Li Guan was furious, the long sword in his hand was made of green steel, and it had become a sword rainbow after being forged by the furnace for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and its blowing hair could be broken, and the broken stone was opened, but it had not broken the barrier of the old man's body.
The sword body gradually bent, and Li Guan still did not stop.
"Broken!"
The old man snorted softly, and turned his two fingers into a solid form of sword slashing, turning into a white light that suddenly shot in front of him. But I saw the long sword flip in mid-air, and after a while, it clanged to the ground and plunged straight into the floor.
"You are only a small realm, but you can also be my enemy?"
The old man saw that Li Guan retreated a few feet, his back against the table, chair and bench and the wall, and there was blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.
He explained: "The old man has been in the inn for more than ten years, and the things of the rivers and lakes can be heard, how can you not know about this small river city? ”
"What happened to you back then, the old man just happened to hear about it."
Li Guan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, he raised his head and arched his fist and saluted: "I am in the work of meager strength, naturally not as good as my predecessors." I hope that the seniors can forget this matter for the next, and Li Guan will never give up! ”
"It's a trivial matter, why talk about it?"
"This matter is a trivial matter for the seniors, but for the subordinates, it is an oath that is higher than the sky and heavier than the mountain! I promised a man that I could not be a father or a daughter in this life. ”
"Idiot!"
The window was already burning, and the door of the inn opened and closed.
When Yang Wang woke up, he saw a Qinghong sword resting on the table in front of him.
The old man standing at the counter of the wooden table said to him, "He said that this sword was given to you." ”
"I know."
"Eavesdropping is not the work of the big husband."
"I'm nobody."
"Where did you come from and where are you going?"
Yang Forget shook his head, which made the old man puzzled for a while.
The old man listened to the words of the three last night, and he knew that this person's name was Yang Wang, but he had never heard of this person's name in the rivers and lakes in his memory, maybe this person was incognito.
Yang forgot not to take the long sword on the table, but walked straight to the door of the inn, opened it, the sunlight outside suddenly poured in, and the inn without candle flame was illuminated for a moment, and he said softly when he walked out: "I obviously care about her, why don't you protect her personally?" ”
The door of the Jianghu Inn closed, and he walked slowly through the alley into the street where there were already many pedestrians, indulging in the white mist that filled the morning with the smell of freshly baked meat buns.
And in situ.
"You said the sword was mine? You didn't lie to me, old man! Wang Jianqing hugged Qinghong Sword and said happily.
"Humph!" The old man said angrily: "Naturally not. ”
Wang Jianqing put down his sword and walked outside the inn.
"Not yet." The old man paused, and when he saw that he had hurried back, he picked up his sword and said, "But." ”
"But how?"
"I don't have a guy to run the hall in this Jianghu Inn, you stay, include food and lodging, and give you two taels a month, and you will naturally be able to buy this sword when you save it."
Wang Jianqing's eyes lit up, and there was such a good thing? He hurriedly said, "How much does this sword cost?" ”
"Three thousand!"
He calculated that three thousand dollars was thirty taels, two taels a month, and it would take about fifteen months, which would be one year and three months. Thinking about this errand, let alone food and shelter, why not do it?
Wang Jianqing nodded hurriedly, took the contract written by the old man who came over, didn't look at it, and quickly stamped it with a red mark with his right finger, but he didn't see the old man snickering on the side.
"On the second day of January, how many times can you eat beef and open meat, last night's beef was really good!" Wang Jianqing thought beautifully.
He counted the monthly money with his fingers over and over again, but suddenly saw a blood mark on the old man's cheek, and he said curiously to the old man: "Strange, when I saw your strange old man last night, I didn't see this blood mark." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with sloppy eyes: "How can you see clearly in your dog's eyes?" ”
Wang Jianqing thought about it, too, the lights flickered in the middle of the night, presumably because he didn't see clearly.
……
Yang Forgot entered the golden lock gate of the Yang'an Dart Bureau, attracting the attention of the little guy who was sweeping the dust and dust of the morning, and was wondering how Yang Forgot could come back from outside so early? In a daze, Yang Forget had already walked past him, and the little guy only shook his head, and then only cared about fiddling with the broom in his hand again.
He walked straight to his own room in the backyard, opened the door, and quickly closed it. He looked up at the familiar and strange room.
He took off his upper clothes, the sunlight seeping through the oiled paper outside the window on his bare upper body and countless healed scars.
Yang forgot to try to touch it, but he didn't dare to let go.
He fixed his gaze on the thin sword that hung like a wooden branch by the head of the bed for a long time.
The man who had lost his memories closed his eyes and looked back on the familiar and unfamiliar dream of the previous night.
Yang forgot to come back to his senses, he walked to the head of the bed and took down the thin sword like a wooden branch, and with a sword light, he had cut the white gauze curtain in two. Shirtless, he looked at the bent thin sword, wrapped it in a piece of white veil, and pressed it against his skin, and then carefully used another piece of white yarn to circle the sword around his body.
He put on his clothes and turned his face to the door, the cold touch coming from his chest.
For Yang Wang, this feeling was like the moment he picked up the sword, he could feel extremely familiar.
It's like seeing family.
……
Today's daytime Yang'an Dart Bureau is quite lively, and the Jiangcheng government sent someone to send a large plaque of "chivalry and righteousness", hanging red silk and blowing suona, so beautiful.
The family of the baby who was rescued last night gratefully handed Yang Xi with baskets full of eggs, and the woman said to Yang Xi gratefully with tears: "If it weren't for Miss Yang, you saved my child with chivalry, my child would have suffered!" Thank you, girl, for helping to get rid of the thief! ”
Yang Xi hurriedly excused herself from the egg, in the end, she scared the two of them last night, even if she saved their child, she couldn't ask for it.
Master Yang walked over and persuaded: "The little girl is just doing it, let's keep these for my own children." ”
"Yang An!" A person came down from the red sedan chair of the government and shouted.
Someone in the crowd at the gate of the dart bureau said, "Isn't that the lord of the government?" Even he is here, and the Yang'an Dart Bureau is afraid that it will be developed in Jiangcheng! ”
Master Yang greeted Lord Fuya, stepped forward and arched his hand respectfully and said, "Lord Xu, why are you here, I, Yang An, am really disappointed." ”
The lord of the mansion stretched out his hands to support his bent hand, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It is worthy of the person who walked out of my Jiangcheng Mansion Yamen, but he gave birth to a good girl, and it is not easy to save the baby from the hands of that daring thief, and he deserves to be rewarded!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the little girl always likes to mess around on weekdays, and she needs a lot of care from the government officials."
"This is natural, your daughter has a good skill, it's really rare! Later, if the thief who stole the baby can be caught so that the people of this city can live in peace, then it will be more than just this plaque! The lord of the government said to Yang An in front of the crowd, "I also want to praise this heroine in front of the people!" ”
The lord of the mansion walked over to Yang Xi, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled without a smile: "If my niece can catch the thief who harmed Jiangcheng, this official will dare to make an exception and reward you with 100 gold!" Ten quintals of silver! ”
He then turned around and preached to the many people gathered in front of the Yang'an Dart Bureau: "Our Jiangcheng has been harassed by the thieves for half a month, causing some families to lose their beloved sons! If Miss Yang hadn't stepped forward last night and acted chivalrous, wouldn't Jiang Cheng have lost another baby's life? Miss Yang can afford the courtesy of all our Jiangcheng people, and can afford the four big words of 'chivalrous and righteous' on the plaque! If Miss Yang can catch the thief who eats the baby, she will be the benefactor of all the people of Jiangcheng! This official is very grateful to Yang niece in his heart! I believe that the people of Jiangcheng are also looking forward to Miss Yang being able to cut that hateful thief under the sword! As he spoke, the lord of the government was about to kneel down in front of Yang Xi, but was hurriedly stopped by the people standing beside him.
Yang Xi shook her head like a rattle and said, "I was not the only one last night, there was also ......" She turned around and looked inside the golden lock gate, but her eyes couldn't find the figure of the silly boy, let alone Wang Jianqing, who only had a relationship with Yang Xi.
The lord of the mansion excitedly took Yang Xi's right hand and raised it high in the vast crowd, and shouted: "She is a heroine who belongs to our Jiangcheng!" ”
"Woman!"
"Woman!"
