Chapter 450: The Lake
This year's Qingluanzhou is still a little cold, only on the seventh day of the winter month, a heavy snow has swept more than a dozen countries in the east.
On a snowy night, a young couple in the town inn and the next room who had returned home from a long trip were arguing, and the sound was not too loud, but with the ears of the qi refiners, they could always hear it very clearly.
What the two are talking about is nothing more than the trivial matters of the parents, the side of money, and the infinitely small and infinitely large.
The woman said, "I want to change to a better house, what's wrong? The place where I work, in the broken yard where I live, I can't sweep it in a day, and I've endured it for two years, can't I spend that extra five taels of silver?"
The man said, "Did I save you a penny? The family didn't just buy a house, the two of us have saved one hundred and forty taels in the past two years, I have one hundred taels, your thirty taels plus your mother's ten taels, and I have borrowed fifty taels of money, and I will pay it off in thirty years, and I will pay it off in thirty years, and I will pay it off with a full ninety taels! Let's save for another two years and put the house in a good place, can we just live there?"
The woman was annoyed and said, "You should buy the house you bought, if you don't buy it, where will we live?" Do you live in the ravine of your hometown? I'm talking about the shop, can we rent a better house?"
The man was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I have ten taels of silver a month, and you have five taels a month, and the house we rent is paid for by the owner, twelve taels a year, and the county order is only thirty taels a month!" All the houses rented by the shopkeeper are only ten taels at most, and this is already very expensive for me, so I really can't afford to tell the owner about this again."
The woman was very angry, "Can't I come out with five taels of silver by myself?"
The man simply took out a silver ticket and said in a deep voice, "This is a deposit ticket of thirty taels, all for you."
The woman was even more angry, and said frantically, "What do I want money for? I'm going to live in a better house!"
The man said in a deep voice: "You have to buy clothes, gold and silver jewelry, you can buy anything, the house can't be changed, it's not a matter of money or not."
Then there is the sound of cups and bowls.
Liu Jingxun's house is separated from it by a wall, and it is difficult to hear it.
Earning ten taels of silver a month is really powerful, and farmers who farm in the countryside earn so much in a year. After all, this inn is only 80 wen a night, and the person next door earns it in a month, which is converted into 10,000 wen.
Liu Jingxun also understands that women want to have a better life, but men are afraid of gossip. After all, if you are earning other people's money, your own ability is not enough to earn so much money from others, no matter how greedy you are, you can't hang your face. Even if he pays for it himself, he still has to report it truthfully and let the owner know, what do you say? Say I want to live better? Or if my wife wants to live better, then in the heart of the owner, isn't my wife a little unpragmatic?
It's really difficult, because the man understands what the woman wants, but the woman can't think of or doesn't want to think about the man's concerns.
At this time, the man next door suddenly said, "Do you know where the biggest difference between us is now?"
Naturally, the woman didn't answer, but the man said to himself, "I want to live a better life, you want to live a good life." Chinese Net
As soon as these words came out, the quarrel was of course louder.
In Liu Jingxun's view, in fact, everyone is right, everyone has their own concerns.
However, if you are like the next door and you throw things and quarrel as soon as you spread out the words, then the problem will not be solved.
Between husband and wife, sometimes a small inadvertent gesture, an inadvertent sentence that pierces the heart, both parties may not care at first, and forget it in a blink of an eye. But when the differences grow bigger and bigger, and they start to dig over old accounts, they will all think about it.
After the quarrel, there was a long silence, and it was not long before the snoring was thunderous.
Liu Jingxun took a sip of wine, continued to meditate cross-legged, and when it was dawn, he took a seal and put it at the door next door, and then left with his sword on his back.
Living a good life is the same thing as wanting to live a good life, and occasionally arguing is actually a good way to resolve conflicts.
Alas! It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money.
I, Liu Jingxun, am poor now.
The heavy snow has not stopped, and Liu Jingzhuo got up early, but the road is already full of footprints and ruts.
There are always people who get up earlier.
The swordsman of the rivers and lakes, which lasted two months, finally passed the first night in Qingluanzhou.
Green Dock Lake is just ahead, you have to check it out.
That was the place where we first met with Longqiu Tangxi, and it was still the hill where Lu Qing'er's ferry once belonged.
This Qingluan Continent, Liu Jingxuan is second only to the familiarity of Middle Earth, he was chased and killed by several climbers here, and there are dozens of places where there have been fights.
The opening of Qingluanzhou can be said to be difficult. Except for Mo Wenchun, there are no acquaintances at all.
Liu Jingxuan took another sip of wine, at this time it was only the beginning of winter, leave yourself half a year, and come to this Qingluan Island.
The biggest difference between Qingluan Continent and other continents is that mortals have long been accustomed to Qi refiners, after all, the Dayao Dynasty and the Awakening God Dynasty each send 200,000 troops to garrison the Demon Rejection Island every year, and when the demon tide comes, they will also go to the battlefield to kill, and the common people will naturally know the battlefield of Guiru, and naturally they will also know that there are demons and monsters in this world.
Around the end of the day, the heavy snow finally stopped, and the sun in the sky was sick, and it was a little difficult to melt the snow.
This is to go to the Luwu Lake ferry, it is only a thousand miles, there are not many mortals on the road, and there are many qi refiners under Jindan.
The concentrating realm can control the sky for a short time, but it can't last long, and most of the aura in the body can't support the long journey.
Liu Jingxun changed his dress, still wearing a blue long coat, but he didn't carry a sword, but carried a short knife, and looked like a monk of the Yellow Court.
He was alone, and everyone was in a team of three or five, and it was estimated that they were all going to Luwu Lake, after all, it was the largest market on the west coast of Qingluanzhou.
There is a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and naturally, there are also charlatans.
On the side of the road in the distance, there was a middle-aged man holding a broken sword in two halves and a wounded man. The middle-aged man didn't speak, he just held the broken sword, and his eyes were scattered.
Eat a trench and grow wise, do you know who this guy is squatting on the side of the road? Liu Jingxun was stung all over, so he didn't look at it at all.
Do you know if he is an enlightened sword fairy or an old rabbit master? In case you are confused and provoke someone like Li Niwan, the gains outweigh the losses, and you will have eight lifetimes of blood mold!
But...... If there is such a thing as exchanging wine for immortal treasures, it can be as much as possible.
Previously, Liu Jingxun had already vacated a piece of Qiankun jade, but now it was full, filled with hundreds of pots of wine.
There are two people in the front line, a man and a woman, both of whom are young, no more than fifty years old, and they are already a genius when they are placed on a third-rate mountain.
The woman muttered in a low voice, "Senior brother, what's the matter? Shall we ask?"
The man said in a deep voice, "Don't make trouble."
More is better than less, eight out of ten people would think so, right?
The young woman had no choice but to nod, she had already walked far away, and suddenly turned her head and ran to the middle-aged man, handed out a pill, and said, "This is the healing medicine that my master gave me, I see that your injuries are a little serious, take it and use it."
The middle-aged man raised his head, and after a slight silence, he said, "How much?"
The woman waved her hand, turned her head and left, "No money."
The middle-aged man looked at the woman carefully, as if to remember what the woman looked like.
He didn't say a word and fed the pill, sat on the side of the road and began to heal his wounds, and the two swords were thrown away at will.
Liu Jingxun said in his heart, could it be that he saw the wrong person?
But he didn't look much and just kept on his way.
I broke the sword luck before, and after I arrived in Qingluan Continent, I couldn't find the sword luck gossamer, and I was afraid that I could only ask after I got the Burial Sword City.
The young woman who had just done a good deed was being scolded by her own senior brother, it was not impossible to take a treasure pill, but it was used for emergencies, so it was so easy to give it away?
The woman buried her head and muttered, I think it's a bit of a hurry.
Liu Jingxun smiled secretly, seeing that people are doing good, the snow is not freezing.
Liu Jingxun always followed behind the two, and when it was dark, he sacrificed the flying boat, overtook the two, and went to Luwu Lake.
This green dock lake has a bad reputation, but there is nothing to do in its own market.
Liu Jingxun did not rush to the ferry, but arrived at a lake on the border of Luwu Lake.
When I evaded pursuit, I landed here in a daze, but there was a half-grown girl in the water, and she died of the fourteenth or fifteenth year.
The girl snorted first, and Liu Jingxun also snorted.
Back then, it was the realm of climbing the building, why can't you see clearly? But there was really nothing at that time!
Of course, I don't dare to say this to Longqiu Tangxi.
Fifteen years have passed, and this lake has not changed from memory.
Liu Jingxun found a big stone and sat cross-legged and looked at the lake with a smile. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the clouds in the sky were blown away, and the stars entered the water, and there was no need to look up.
The first parting after meeting again, the lettering on the hairpin given to Longqiu Tangxi is actually not a poem or a word, it is called a long and short sentence, and the writing is too poor, and I have been embarrassed to read it in front of her. In fact, it's not purely written by himself, but he once listened to the song of Qing Qi and wrote it coldly.
Liu Jingxun muttered to himself: "I actually think that my literary skills are not bad, why did I always panic when I came to her? Why?"
In fact, I am afraid that it will be too abrupt and make people unhappy.
Later, I was not afraid of being abrupt, but ...... Can't pull off the old face.
Someone rubbed his chin and beard and said with a smile, "I'll be thirty-five after the New Year, I'm old."
He suddenly got up and drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The mountain makes a bow and water is an arrow, send a letter, do you receive it?
Liu Jingxuan suddenly turned his head, his face full of embarrassment.
It turned out that there was a young woman carrying a fishing net and was about to cast it.
Liu Jingxun hurriedly retracted his gaze and laughed dryly.
At this moment, the fisherwoman by the lake was afraid that she was thinking in her heart, did this person have some serious illness? Talking to himself, still pulling a bow and shooting arrows? What about the bow? What about arrows? It's so late, don't be a ......
Liu Jingxun felt that his face couldn't hold it, so he had to laugh dryly, "Girl......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream from the woman, who threw down the fishing net and ran, shouting as she ran, "Daddy! There are bad guys!"
Liu Jingxun smiled helplessly, and took another look at the lake before leaving.
Fifteen years later, the girl was no longer in the lake.
Liu Jingxun left in an instant, landed at the ferry port of Luwu Lake, and went to the ghost market first.
This trip to Qingluanzhou is here to cause trouble, don't be afraid of getting into trouble, there are people in the east of Lao Tzu!
