In the small city, a man in his early twenties was seated with a long sword on his back, and a young cheek contained an endless expanse of placket, at this time he straightened out the faded cloth clothes, took a long sword with a blue rust coil from his back, and watched the essence of the long sword's eyes turn from light to dark.

"Yo, guest officer, do you want to have a few drinks or fill your hunger?"

The man's slender fingers swung their fingertips, flicked the dust off the long sword, and said softly:

"A bowl of bar."

However, Xiao Er held the earthen bowl and dragged a full bowl of mixed wine on the table, ripples splashed in the small wine bowl, and the rising heat dragged up the curling white mist to dissipate in mid-air, the man's eyes followed the rise of the white mist, looking into the air, but there was a dazed sadness in his eyes.

The man's name is Changge, surnamed Su, his father died early when he was a child, and he followed his old grandmother to fish for a living, how did he know that the Wei River suddenly rose in tide that day, and his grandmother's boat stopped in Penghu Bay, and his grandmother was worried that the small fishing boat that fell on the low dam would be destroyed in the flood, so she rushed out in the wind and rain, but never came back.

That year, Su Changge twelve.

The immature child rowed the fishing boat saved by his grandmother to fish for a living, fishing for three years, and the fishing boat that followed his grandmother for most of his life was finally overwhelmed, and he accompanied his grandmother and fell silent in the Wei River.

Su Changge was drunk alone that night, bought a long sword with all his family, and went on the road with a drunken feeling.

I want to find the northern immortals, bald monks, and wine men in my grandmother's mouth, and my grandmother can say that they can call the wind and rain and save the deceased.

I want Wei Jiang to give my grandmother back, even if it is for me to be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life!

Su Changge's mind that night was completely full of grandmother's reluctance to eat chicken, and she left it to herself.

The back of the clumsy man stood on the boat, looking particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the old man's face was always filled with a happy smile, which was the fish that changed the eggs for his grandson.

I looked at the direction of the light, my grandmother's familiar Penghu Bay, followed the light for a long, long time, until the end of the light, but my grandmother disappeared into her own world, leaving only memories for herself.

But now, Su Changge is back, full of confusion,

The middle-aged Xiao Er picked up the beads of sweat on his forehead that were already black and yellow before he got up, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans were soaked in the hem of his clothes, forming a painting called life.

In autumn, now that the cold is rising in the evening, there are only a few people in the tavern, Xiao Er rubbed his hands that were calloused by warm wine all year round, and also warmed a pot of wine for himself.

"Guest, do you mind drinking together?"

Su Changge looked up at the man on the other side, who had an ordinary face to the extreme, and nodded slightly.

"Please."

Xiao Er looked at the man opposite, dressed in cloth and carrying a sword, and came to the city with all the dust, but there was no lack of youthful spirit in his eyes, but from Su Changge's rusty long sword, he could see his earthly drift, and couldn't help but shake his head,

Xiao Er's eyes were also dark, and he said to himself: "Jianghu? Where there are rivers and lakes, it is just a thought that people give to their hearts the dream of rivers and lakes. ”

Su Changge slowly raised his head and looked at the other party, his lips were long, but the words in his mouth were not spoken, and he sighed lightly, "Xiao Er, warm two more pots of small bars......"

It's not that no one tells me that the dream of the rivers and lakes is just a dream in my heart, and I always try to convince me, but now, after so many years of going around and returning to my hometown when I was a child, what qualifications do I have to argue with others......

The rivers and lakes, have you ever seen it......

In the rivers and lakes, my grandmother has been talking to herself since she was a child, but now she has been wandering for a few years, where can I see half a monk and a knight, and even do the righteousness of the world, and the dashing walker in my grandmother's mouth has never met.

Over the years, all I have seen is people running around for their livelihoods, wielding swords for rights, fighting for the land, shooting for justice in their hearts, where have the rivers and lakes of the weak reaching out for the weak, starving children, and brothers killing each other for money are vivid.

He slowly got up and lifted the long sword in his hand, and walked into the distance with endless hesitation and loneliness......

Xiao Er looked back after being busy, in addition to the two cents of silver on the table, where was Su Changge's figure, shook his head, and sighed lightly,

The rivers and lakes, how can they be so contacted, before fate arrives, they will not touch it in this life, so it is okay......

Since then, in the tavern on the edge of the small city, there has been a regular customer, who always carries a long sword on his back and carries a stream of fish.

In the morning, the sun just showed its white belly, and a touch of glow sprinkled into the world with a pink glow, Su Changge sat in the tavern as usual,

"Little Er, here."

Su Changge said, raised the Yu Lou in his hand, and sat down by the window.

Watching the guys of the Chamber of Commerce go in and out, sweating and carrying goods, they have elderly fathers, children as big as themselves, behind each of them, there are families, only themselves, alone, born in this world, do not leave a trace of the world, and there is no trace of memory.

Even, he doesn't have a friend, but for Su Changge, he is also used to being lonely, used to thinking alone, and living alone. A person goes against the sun, faces the darkness, and walks towards the dawn in his heart.

The only thing I yearn for is the world full of rivers and lakes, to save my grandmother, but is there really a river and lake? He didn't know either......

Xiao Er knew that Su Changge didn't like to say much, so he put down a bowl of meat and a bowl of steaming wine, and looked out the window.

The steaming heat of the wine is also the same as the first time.

"The street is forbidden today, let's leave quickly after eating, and now the current royal power of the Luo clan will mainly pass through here."

Su Changge nodded and raised the wine bowl in his hand, "Drink?" ”

Xiao Er looked at Su Changge's invitation, which he hadn't seen once in many years, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You drink." ”

Looking at the long sword behind Su Changge, he shook his head secretly, this stupid boy, where is the sword on his back, this is an obsession......

When Su Changge picked up his bags and walked out of the tavern, there were few people in sight outside, only a few small traders were pushing their cars to the side, and suddenly a crisp footsteps came from behind him, Su Changge heard the sound and looked at it, and a smile appeared on his cold cheeks,

"Uncle Qi, why did you come so far here?"

Su Changge looked at the old man with crutches, and hurriedly helped him, when his grandmother was alive, he and Uncle Qi were next-door neighbors, living together on the bank of the river in the south of the city, due to perennial floods, people have moved to the north of the city, and over time, only their own family and Uncle Qi lived in the south of the city.

"Oh, don't you give me that many fish? I can't eat it either, so I'll get some meat to eat. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, looking at himself kindly, that gaze was so similar to his grandmother, Su Changge was stunned for a moment,

"You can't use your fishing boat for nothing, next time ask me to help you bring it back, I'll stop by anyway."

The old man looked up at the young man in front of him and chuckled: "Okay, good, I just don't know how my kid is now, and after so many years, I won't come back to see him." ”

Uncle Qi said, and a little tear appeared in his cloudy eyes.

Su Changge's nose was sour, looking at the old man's trembling body, Uncle Qi was still an iron-clad middle-aged man when he left, but now his body has completely collapsed in a few years.

When he left, Uncle Qi's son Qi Yun volunteered to join the Luo Army, fighting in the south and the north, Uncle Qi looked forward to it, but all he got was a general order and a silver sword, maybe Brother Qi Yun, who grew up together as a child, did not return as scheduled, this is the meaning of parting.

Su Changge sucked his nose hard and patted the old man's back gently, "Brother Qi Yun is fine, he will come back." ”

Uncle Qi didn't answer, Su Changge watched the light in the old man's eyes getting darker and darker, and only felt that the oxygen in his heart was being drained, and he took a few deep breaths to feel better.

"Let's go, let's go home."
