Chapter 2 The Girl and the Assassin
Soon after Xie Wenliang descended the mountain, the rain stopped, he collected his umbrella, and carried wine along the river bank to the west mountain path.
Away from Huaicheng, after all, it is a small city near the water.
The west mountain faces the east mountain, the Huai water gradually turns into a loop, if you pass the narrowest gap in the middle of a 100-meter section, then it is the boat that the genius sings, the big river goes to the east, rolls thousands of piles of snow.
Now during this season, the weather is getting hot and dry, and the spring breeze is also sultry. Experienced old boats, all moored the boat in the middle of the shore, came to light the lights at night, the stars were faintly on the water, and the twists and turns were like the Milky Way drunk, perched for nine days.
Jia'an is indeed a good place, both mountains and rivers, and the literati are happy. It doesn't have to be that you like spring, or you may like to bring girls, that's spring.
The old boatmen don't think so, the little people, life is the first element, and they have their own calculations in their hearts.
First, this season of Huaishui light fish can not stand the hot weather, always come up to live free, jump a spirit, if you can catch some in the morning, the morning market can also sell at a good price, earn him a few taels of silver to subsidize the family, men understand men, who does not have a private money? What's more, why haven't you eaten it? The most greedy are not easy to get wild meat. Fresh fish is de-spined, poured with lemon juice, the meat is tender and sweet. No matter how bad it is, you can't find a good home, then eat it at home, the original smoothed sharp wood chips can cut the liver and sausage in an instant, remove blood, and make less Huai River water as salt.
Second, most of the old people always want to pass on the fishing skills to future generations, where to throw the rod, when to collect the net, and the knowledge is great.
What's even more strange is that in the past 50 years, only calamus has grown from the waterfront of Huaicheng, and it is not as wide as other places, but like a girl who has not come out of the boudoir, with moth eyebrows, slender, and can pick up the moon in the water.
This is an excuse for the young, still a little dissolute Zhouzi to ridicule, often folding, to tease the girl who is passing by the laundry: "Little girl, do you think this looks like your eyebrows?" Brother, I miss it so much. ”
This kind of thing can only be said to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old cardamom girl, and a young woman in her thirties and forties always has to laugh and scold him, and maybe she will raise her eyebrows and say: "Little brother, the husband is not here, and the concubine is tired of cleaning the room alone~, you say this, or ...... I don't know if the little brother can do it? ”
Of course, I have to bite hard, and I patted the towering peaks with my hands, and it was as turbulent as Huaishui.
I'm afraid that the little chicks who only know some fake tricks can jump into the river all of a sudden, and the aunt is the aunt, what a big aunt.
But calamus is a good thing, drying, baskets, shoes, most of the boatmen's wives will do some handiwork, and even more, this is a weapon for educating naughty children, better than wicker, authentic feet are still more generous, just out of the air will not leave a scar, it is simply a necessary educational necessity for the ancient people of the boatman.
In the end, it's a man after all. Elegantly said that on the other side is the Wangjiang Tower where the officials and masters cultivate their musical sentiments and practice eighteen kinds of martial arts. Lao Tzu has no money to go to the Qinglou, can't touch the new girl's little tender hands, lie on our boat and release birds in the way, watch the lights on the other side, listen to some turbulent songs, make its spring dreams, think about the girl's warm quilt, the small day is really moist.
I am a water guest, the breeze and the moon, I sail the boat, all endless. The beautiful girls who board the ship are all our daughters-in-law, and they don't charge money!
……
……
Xie Wenliang said hello to the old boatmen, the umbrella was pinned to his waist, as if he realized something, suddenly grabbed the hem with one hand, carried the wine jug in the other, and the figure jumped over the puddle that flashed through the moonlight, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Fortunately, I'm witty and dirty, but I have to pay a few pennies." Brother, I'll walk on the shore~"
The mountain road is slow, full of joy, as if the wine in his hand is a little intoxicating.
Thinking about the fact that although the bamboo building is not big, it is all the savings of the master and himself over the past few years, and it is not easy to choose the side of Linyang in Xishan. It is also convenient to cut bamboo and build a courtyard, and it is a hermit who yearns for a good place.
What's more, I don't go to the shady side to fight with the elderly and tea pickers for territory and interests, although I can't see the tea picking girl, it's a pity; In addition, the master and apprentice are good-natured, can speak a delicate word, and are free from Huai's casual nature, so they naturally don't care about occupying the mountain.
Without a master, it is a question of whether he can survive as an orphan in the world more than ten years ago.
At that time, a steamed bun weighed much more than ten taels of gold, not to mention that the master handed over a chicken leg. Since then, there has been a teenager rolling through the mire behind the old man's ass, which is true fate.
As for sword practice, it is fate, there are many spirits in the mountains, and it is really not good to have no skills.
Xie Wenliang still remembers the beard blowing and the countless cows that the old man had just taught him to practice swords.
"Do you want to practice swords? Want to become an immortal? Don't buy alcohol today, don't think! ”
"Your kid's bones are unsightly compared to mine. I think at the beginning, I fought eighty-one masters alone... Hey, little Liangzi, you dare to yawn! Kick out of the division! Don't believe me! ”
"Ah, yes, yes...... Master, I'm hungry! ”
Many times, when a person says you don't want to be unbelieving, it's already a lie.
Perhaps, the old man is the only one.
Others only know that Xie Wenliang is a storyteller, and he can often laugh with the old people basking in the sun.
Who knew that when he raised a sword at the age of seven, he had been full of spirit in his chest for ten years.
Isn't cultivating the Tao a lonely thing in front of mortals? Can you make a fritter steamed bun?!
Thousands of people come out of the cultivator, and a master must lead them in.
Someone lives, someone guards.
Otherwise, Xie Wenliang has been practicing swords for ten years, and he can wear out the muscles and veins and the aura is not able to pass through this hurdle, and he will come to the door.
Every morning, I can feel a hot breath on my body, wandering up and down Zhou's body.
As far afield, what do you want it to do?
What's more, the world's Taoism, I still don't know how many realms there are, after all, the master said that this is just an entry.
But I have to say, who doesn't want to be a chic wine and song when he was a teenager, and the sword fairy who draws his sword and sings when the world is uneven, if he adds a love under the peach blossom tree, brings the girl he loves and loves himself, and it is precisely the best-looking pear vortex girl in his eyes.
I have a three-foot long sword to pick the sun and the moon, two or two winds and snows and moons, let you heaven and earth, the ancients, eight buckets of romance, think of it is already the most moving rivers and lakes.
There are many spirits in the mountains, but the master said that the line is very shallow, similar to the herbaceous elves, and most of the people run when they see them. What do you say that this big state is so lucky, it has died heroes, and it can't tolerate evil and win.
Suddenly, a crisp bell sounded in the woods.
Xie Wen's conscience was a big policeman, a series of wine jugs, and a one-handed horizontal sword pressed against the sheath: "Who?" ”
"The old man in the small building on the mountain is your master?" There was an echo in the treetops, a woman, with a nice voice: "Your name is Xiao Liangzi?" ”
Xie Wenliang raised his head, and under the moonlight, he didn't see the girl's face, and the red clothes were scorching.
"It's my master, what's the matter?" Xie Wenliang scratched his head with his other hand, a little cramped.
Could it be that this is what the ladies who eat melon seeds at the entrance of the village often say "fox spirit, sassy hooves"? It is said that she often becomes a delicate woman, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, specifically seducing handsome and affectionate scholars, absorbing people's cultivation vitality or the essence of heaven and earth, and the means are really powerful, after all, the aunts always grit their teeth.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sword light smashed down on his head and face!
The boy turned, and the sword was unsheathed. Whatever he does, stop it.
The two swords collided, Xie Wenliang suddenly stumbled, and the girl's sword seemed to have divine power to help, almost breaking the sword momentum of the young man's sword. Xie Wenliang gritted his teeth, stiffly leaned back and bent his knees, and unloaded his huge strength.
He suddenly took a few steps back, and finally saw the appearance of the sword man.
The red dress is embroidered with gold silk ribbing, like a cicada pattern, but the face is covered by a silk veil, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the aura is spiritual. The delicate and boneless ankles are tied with hollow silver bells, which are crisp and moving as they walk.
"Why did the girl use her sword?" Xie Wenliang's face was extremely unsightly, and the hilt of the sword was very solid.
Who knew that as soon as the bell rang, the girl in front of her laughed out loud: "I want to see how the little junior brother of the master is doing, why, can't I prevent the senior sister from swordsmanship?" ”
Xie Wen's conscience was shocked: Senior sister? When did the old man take in apprentices again!
When the girl saw him with a confused face, she smiled even more heartily, and even wanted to cover her stomach, not looking like a fair lady at all.
"What's the matter, the disciple who was only accepted tonight can't do it? I don't care, I'm a senior sister anyway! The girl pointed to the sword, and even deliberately left a free hand and made a gesture of swinging her index finger at Xie Wenliang.
"Impossible, I'll just say, master, I'm a senior brother! Are you a little sister? Xie Wenliang reacted immediately, and said with a righteous face: "I still want to deceive my senior brother, I should fight!" ”
Who does it matter? Let's talk about it first, and then talk about it.
The girl took two steps closer with her sword: "Oh? Then hit? Xiao Liangzi? ”
Raise your eyebrows.
At this distance, Xie Wenliang can even smell the elegant fragrance on the girl's body, she is a spicy and sweet girl!
"Hmph, then hit!" The boy said this, but his body quietly moved back.
Fart, the sword just now, this girl is not simple.
Thirty-six strategies, go as the best policy, let the master wipe his buttocks.
"Forget it, I won't tease you. Girl, my name is Xu Nanchan, and I guess I will live in your house for a while. Peach Blossom smiled narrowly, but it made Xie Wenliang a little afraid: "As for Xiao Liangzi, you can call me sister, or call me senior sister." ”
In an instant, the girl's figure moved, directly grabbed Xie Wenliang's ear, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liangzi, just be afraid of your sister, do you want to run to complain, I don't guarantee that my father will not use his sword to chop you." ”
Masters? Lord!
Xie Wenliang changed his face: "What did Senior Sister say, family, you can stay as long as you want, I just told the master to prepare more wine and food, and pick up the wind and wash the dust for the new senior sister!" ”
Just a few wagging tails!
Unexpectedly, Xiu Hand screwed the other ear and forced: "Then don't bother with your kindness, junior brother!" My dad and the old man are playing chess, so it's best not to disturb others. Besides, isn't there wine? ”
Unconsciously, the wine jug on Xie Wenliang's waist was already in Xu Nanchan's hands.
Xie Wenliang was looking at Xu Nanchan with small eyes, who knew that as soon as Xu Nanchan turned his head to speak, he was hot, and the young man's neck couldn't help but be a little restless. Through the veil, Xie Wen is good to see a charming smile, if he is not separated, I don't know whose world has fallen, and it is difficult to get a beautiful woman.
"Why don't we take a sip? Freshly beaten peach blossom stuffed eh. Xu Nanchan's eyes rolled smartly, and he was looking forward to it.
It's rare to come to the world once, and the things of the story can live up to the time.
"Why don't you speak?" Xu Nanchan turned his head, but saw the distracted young man Lang looking at him stupidly, and couldn't help but turn red and bite his teeth.
The next moment, Xie Wenliang's ears instantly ached, and he was miserable.
"Yo, are you in love with the infatuated boy Xiao Liangzi?"
Xie Wenliang turned his head and was about to surrender, but he seemed to see her laughing again, the deep smile in his eyes, and the look of teasing his younger brother. But many years later, when Xu Nanchan recalls tonight, he will always feel a deep irony, who molested whom in the end?
"Sister Xu, let go of your hand first. Since we don't disturb their hand talk, we can go down the mountain and go around. Xie Wenliang gritted his teeth, took a cool breath, and said helplessly: "Drink wine, drink wine." ”
"So scared, is my sister a goblin? Is it so scary? ”
It seems that the force in the hand is a little stronger, and I can't beat it.
Xie Wenliang wanted to cry, it didn't make sense; But Xie Wenliang wanted to laugh again, which didn't make sense.
"That's definitely not the case! Sister, sister...... Where will it be a goblin, my sister must be the first beauty in the world! ”
"Yo, although many people have said this, I'm afraid that you will say it to the future lady more than 20 years later, you have a heart of affection first."
Xie Wenliang and Xu Nanchan remembered almost at the same time, what if this sister became a ...... Isn't this really an infatuation?
"You still dare to tease me, people who have lived with my sister say that they live a happy life with my sister, little brother Wenwen."
There was another pain in the ear, and there was no reason.
"How dare I? I surrender, you are a sister! ”
How many pillars of incense did I know?!
……
……
The storyteller, who had a good deed, later said that that night, the girl dragged the young man's ear down the mountain road slowly, and let him take him to see the green mountains and Huaishui.
Some listeners laughed, obviously there were a lot of lights, some people's ears hurt and their hearts rejoiced, and some people let go of their palms but there was some pain.
No one cares, the child who has not grown up secretly drank the wine he bought, and got drunk next to the Huai River, which is the first acquaintance.
After all, there were two more little sword immortals in the world later, and there was also a pair of small enemies, which was indeed very wronged.
Most people in the world know that there are more sisters in teenagers, more younger brothers in girls, and more love for sisters and brothers in later Xianxia novels, only the younger brother is not happy, and later I know that I am obviously bigger!
Talking under the tree, the old sword smiled more happily, so why not lose a game of chess?
The sword will not lose, the apprentice should earn it, great goodness.
……
……
There are more than two bowls and chopsticks at home.
"Hey, junior brother, why is the time for the end of the bamboo board so short? It can be said in the book that men can't be so fast. ”
Can you endure this kind of tiger and wolf words? But if it was Xu Nanchan, Xie Wenliang would be able to endure it!
After all, others let the girl score three points, and Xu Nanchan cut him by seven points.
Xie Wenliang gritted his teeth and slurred his words: "Hmph, I have asked the master, I am the senior brother!" ”
The so-called question is nothing more than chicken thighs and wine, and people are sophisticated.
"Ah, really? But why do I care so much, right, Xiao Liangzi serves the food. Xu Nanchan pretended to scratch her head, her face was innocent, but it was accompanied by the sarcastic laughter of Yinling, she was a little witch in Los Angeles.
Xie Wenliang only rolled his eyes, and Xu Nanchan stared at him, his big eyes were small eyes, and he was extremely cute.
I don't get tired of looking at each other, only good and Zen.
"Forget it, my sister doesn't care about my little brother." Xu Nanchan was also a little shy, and deliberately turned his head sideways: "Then rest, my little good son." ”
With a wave of his hand, his left sleeve was raised.
The kernel that was held in the palm of his hand was about to float lightly on the back of the bamboo plank, but it suddenly accelerated, and with its high potential, it crushed the sword momentum that Xie Wenliang had already wanted to destroy, and the bamboo ruler instantly took off his hand and plunged straight into the soil.
Xie Wenliang woke up suddenly as if he was from a nightmare, sweating profusely, not caring about the etiquette of a gentleman, trembling and lying down beside the big bluestone on which the girl was smiling, with long sleeves and weak sweat, he could only gasp for breath, and Xiao Zhou Tian breathed in the aura of heaven and earth.
"Go to the door, close your mind and keep your mind, exhale aura, and pass through the pass." Xu Nanchan recited the Dao Law carelessly, but his eyes secretly swept over the tired Xie Wenliang: "Look, it's still good for the old man to let me take you to practice swordsmanship, this is the method that this sect does not teach?" ”
Xie Wenliang was still a little confused: "Nanchan, what other teachings have you worshipped?" ”
Who knew that he was immediately rewarded with a finger of chestnuts.
"Of course, it is Xu Nanchan's No. 1 beauty sect in the world, the sect leader has spoken, you are now a senior brother!"
Since Xu Nanchan came, there are more than two bowls and chopsticks at home, Xie Wenliang suspects that this is the master's own granddaughter!
The master who eats chicken legs is not as happy as the master after the girl comes, what a smile!
It's really a caring little cotton clothes, a daughter slave in the world, but it's a pity that the hard-working little Wenliang is also happy, and many people talk very well.
"Listen, the doctrine I teach is: Xu Nanchan is the first beauty in the world!" Xu Nanchan gnawed on the fruit again: "Whoever disagrees in the future, senior brother, you have the responsibility to make a sword for the teacher!" ”
Senior sister was originally a junior sister, and junior sister actually became a master!
In fact, that night, Xie Wenliang couldn't see Xu Nanchan's father because of a pot of wine. Later, when I asked the master again, he said that the rivers and lakes met and friends trusted each other, so Xu Nanchan was temporarily allowed to live here.
The old man even looked upright, patted Xiao Liangzi on the shoulder with one hand and said, "This is a test and an opportunity." Take her, isn't our little Liangzi handsome? Isn't our little Nanchan good-looking? I think you two are suitable! ”
He also pretended to flick his fingers: "Not bad, not bad." Then let her take you to sword practice. ”
In the face of such a master who took off the line, of course Xie Wenliang disagreed, until he was cut by Xu Nanchan again, and then he reluctantly picked up the bamboo ruler and practiced the sword with her.
Of course, Xie Wenliang can feel the difference at home, the master no longer has a decadent mind, he walks around every day, the scabbard under the table is empty, and his own peach branches are broken off a bunch, etc.
But a teenager is a teenager, and the spring breeze, happy juan, and peach leaves are obviously more joyful in my heart.
Their eyes can always notice that when the season comes, everything is different, whether it is growth, joy or anger.
There are so many interesting and small things, Xie Wenliang wants to talk to Xu Nanchan.
How long have the days? It doesn't make sense, it's weird.
No wonder sometimes the hearts of the teenagers are very small, their souls are too cold, they can't let go of the Four Books and Five Classics and the Jin Ge Iron Horse, just enough to warm a glass of wine on a small fire, and wait for someone to come. White and pure, like ten thousand red cotton flowers tearing through the ice, blooming like clouds.
Xu Nanchan didn't know the change in Xie Wen's conscience, he had been crazy and very happy, there were no rules, of course the little witch was happy.
As for Daddy, what about him? Flowing water can never restrain the swimming fish, and the water that will be spilled out will not stay in the basin.
Far away from Los Angeles, it is rare to come to the world.
She likes this mountain, this city, and this small building very much, and of course, when she leaves Los Angeles, she doesn't expect that she will like the young man in front of her in the future.
The Buddha said, "Don't be cloudy." ”
But the eyebrows come and go, the eyes wave and the heart is sharp, can it naturally ripple out of the fate and come and go?
It turns out that the encounter is also cute.
And Xie Dajian Immortal, who seemed to be free and easy in the future, was finishing practicing his sword at the moment, looking at the clouds with half-dead eyes, pretending to count the clouds. Turning her head slightly to see that the fruit was not finished, the face was bulging, and her face was still a little baby fat.
Xu Nanchan was looking for something, and he was a little annoyed that he didn't find it, so he didn't realize it.
His eyebrows were annoyed, and he pouted, but Xie Wenliang was a little drunk, probably faster than the two pots of red sleeves, and recalled the embarrassing scene by the Huaishui bank in the early morning of that day, and the spring was moving.
He couldn't help but want to laugh, but he was afraid of being beaten, the girl's little hands couldn't be provoked, and he pursed his lips without revealing a trace, he should be snickering, and sighed: "Nanchan, Yun is really beautiful today." ”
"Oh, it's called sister, but it's really beautiful." With Xie Wenliang on her lips, she still looked up at the clouds: "But it's a little worse than the lotus flowers in my hometown, as a little brother, my sister will take you to see it in the future." ”
Xu Nanchan suddenly laughed: "The handkerchief has finally been found, wipe your big face." ”
Without waiting for Xie Wenliang to respond, she immediately jumped off the bluestone and wiped it on the young man's face.
"Tap, tap, little sister?"
"Tap, tap, stop fighting!"
The clouds are so beautiful today, and the sunset should be even more beautiful. Like the clouds, the girl with a blushing face is always more dull and moving.
When I first raised the sword, I already knew: there is no place for you, there are no rivers and lakes.
It's a happy thing.
Xu Nanchan's face was suddenly gloomy, the surroundings were too quiet, and he said slowly: "The son has been waiting for a long time, what is the matter?" ”
Xie Wenliang followed her gaze.
On the forest path, a purple robe came into view.
Up to no good.
