My eyes widened and I stared intently at the middle-aged man, trying to tell between the lines of his words.

The middle-aged man is obviously a person who values love and righteousness, he is stuck in the memories of the past, unable to extricate himself, "Back then, all the Changshui guards with levels went to the four major halls of Zongzheng Mansion to get the secret elixir before going out of the rivers and lakes, only you selected the half of the fragment, I asked you why, you said, 'You don't have to go to great lengths to pursue perfection, it's good to hold on to the defects, and there is a head'." To this day, I have not been as free and easy as you, ashamed, ashamed. ”

The middle-aged man dropped his cloak, looked at the inscription on the tombstone, and smiled bitterly, "The number one assassin in the world, well, fighting with a sword to punish evil, nine deaths without regrets, Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen, is really the number one assassin in the world!" ”

Maybe the night is always sad, and my eyes, with the sensational words of the middle-aged man, unconsciously turned red again.

"The stone whale teases the sea, and the sword destroys the enemy. After thousands of years, everything should be as usual. ”

The middle-aged man had a thin nose and thin skin, and his temples were half white, and he threw all the yellow paper into the copper basin in one go, so shocked that the flames splashed, he got up and took care of his clothes, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Whew!" Let's go, I promise you, someone will do it for you if you haven't finished it, and the prosperous world you didn't see, the people you saved will see it for you. Promise! You have no children, but don't you have apprentices? Your apprentice will witness for you the moment when all nations will come! Han Empire, the wind rises! ”

Then, the middle-aged man took half a step sideways, bowed his hand to me and nodded slightly, and after I replied, I quietly extinguished the small fire in the copper basin.

This time, it's time to go back!

The six of us went to the official road together, and I was about to say some polite words and say goodbye to the two of them, when the middle-aged man took out a handful of sand fruits, stuffed them into my hand, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyou, it's getting late, my teacher and I want to go to Lingyuan City to stay overnight, and visit some old people by the way, can you trouble Xiaoyou to guide you one or two?" ”

Just now, these two people did not act excessively in the mass grave, and what they asked for was a gesture of effort, so I nodded and agreed, and it happened that these five miles were short, accompanied by two adults, and also gave my four brothers strong courage. Ying Cheng handed the middle-aged man a torch, and the six of us walked silently by the faint light of the fire and the moonlight.

The man seemed to be talking, and after walking a few steps, he opened the conversation box again and asked me, "Xiaoyou, how has the harvest of this Huaxing County been in recent years?" ”

"Back to the predecessors, Huaxing County is the richest place in the north of the Saibei, producing grain, medicine, gold and fur, which is better than the Central Plains of Quzhou. In recent years, the county guard should know that the lord straightens out the yin and yang of heaven and earth, appoints capable officials, cuts off the exploitation of the big clans, and changes the image of the warehouse is often empty and the fields are full of thistles, and the days are better than before. ”

I stopped at the point and didn't say much.

"Yo, this kid talks in a set way, a little bit of an adult, it seems, you are a scholar?" The middle-aged man asked casually.

I politely replied, "There are mountains and seas in the book, and there are things in the book, so it is naturally good to read more books." To do business, you must at least be able to settle accounts! ”

"Reason, reason, hahaha!" The middle-aged man seemed to have fun, chased after it, and then asked me, "Little friend, what books have you read?" ”

I replied humbly, "Back to the seniors, the younger generations are the children of the poor family, and there is no famous teacher to teach, under the teaching of my father, the words of a hundred schools of thought, all have dabbled, but only have a rough idea, none of them are proficient, it is really ashamed." ”

The old man next to him snorted and said with a smile, "Haha, it doesn't matter, reading is not only sensible, enlightening the mind, even if you don't learn anything, you can be a loyal and upright person, and you can repay the country in the future." ”

Ying Cheng, who has always been clear and resolute, picked up the words and said, "Hey, I said old man, what you said is a bit biased, you may be a book saint or a literary thief in the future, it is not as refreshing as a long sword, the sword is in the rivers and lakes, you can kill whoever you want." ”

I glared at Ying Cheng and motioned to him not to talk nonsense, so as not to provoke him.

"Yingcheng, don't be rude when talking to your seniors."

Wang Sanbao hurriedly stopped Ying Cheng, he was also afraid of making the two people in front of him unhappy and causing trouble.

I also followed the scene, and said with a hippie smile, "Don't blame the old-timers, this brother of mine is straightforward and fast-talking, and he has a cool temperament." Moreover, we are not deeply involved in the world, we don't know how to be tactful, and our words are inconsiderate, so please be considerate of the two seniors. ”

The old man entertained himself, blew his eyebrows, and snorted again, "Haha, it's okay, it's okay!" The one who uses the sword as a sword to slash the love and hatred, it is cumbersome to have so many moves. However, your kid is exquisite, and he must be a pillar of the woods. ”

I looked at his words and his temperament, and saw that the two did not look like wrongdoers, and besides, the four of my brothers were unknown and penniless, and the poor ones were left with pants, and if we were to rob the road ourselves, we would not attack ourselves, so I was very wary of the two of them.

"The kid dares to ask the two seniors their names? What is the so-called thing about going to Lingyuan? "Taking advantage of the boredom of the journey, I started asking for the names of the people in case I needed them.

"My name is Liu Li, and this is my teacher, Lu Tie. My master and apprentice traveled here, and heard that the county guard thundered to remove the flood, wielded a knife to eradicate the evil hero, the crowd admired the people, and the strangers came out together, so I admired it for a long time, and I wanted to come here to meet one or two, and pay tribute to the majesty of Lord Ying. ”

The middle-aged man named Liu Li replied grinningly, not caring about my caution at all.

As soon as he heard someone praise his father, Ying Cheng immediately came to his strength, grinning loudly, completely losing the heart just now, "Haha, Brother Liu!" Why didn't you say it earlier, Brother Liu, don't go anywhere tonight, if you don't dislike it, after entering the city, how about going to Yingfu with me to stay overnight? There must be a good white flour with a head dipped in sugar. Rest assured, the tube is full, the tube is enough! ”

Just when the two of them were in a fog, I observed the words and immediately answered, "Brother Liu, this is the only son of the county guard Ying Zhiying, Ying Cheng." ”

"Yo, Lord Ying's son, is he already like this now? Good! All right! A ragged colt may make a good horse. Liu Li and his master Lu Tie glanced at each other, stroked their palms and laughed with satisfaction, but they were a little embarrassed.

As he walked, Liu Li turned his head and asked me with a smile, "So, are these little friends?" ”

"This is Huangfu Lu, and his father is a well-known veterinarian in our Ling Yuan. This is Wang Sanbao, who is now an assistant under the account of Ling Yuan's scholar, and he has a good memory. ”

After I finished my introduction, Huang Fulu and Wang Sanbao both handed over to Liu Lu and the others, and Liu Lu praised the young heroes again and again.

Then, Liu Li looked at me and smiled gently, stared at me with big eyes, and said, "Xiaoyou, have you forgotten someone?" ”

Instead of looking at each other, I had the illusion that this was me thirty years later!

......

The moon is late, the stars are white, and the six of me are walking under the white, and I feel the fun of leisure.

As I walked, I replied casually, "Kid Liu Yi is the son of Mr. Ling Yuanyi's teacher. ”

"Liu Yi?"

The listener was interested, and Uncle Lu, who had always been kind and kind since we met, suddenly straightened his waist and looked at me with wide eyes, and there seemed to be murderous aura in his eyes.

Liu Li was a little hindsight, and looked at Uncle Lu in surprise sideways, Uncle Lu nodded his crutches, and said to the middle-aged man inexplicably, "I don't know, it's not me." ”

After a moment of silence, Liu Li suddenly took my shoulder, looked up and down carefully, and then asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Child, what is your father's name?" ”

Although I felt strange, I also answered truthfully, "My father, Liu Quansheng, is a teacher in Zigui School. ”

Liu Li said excitedly, "Haha! Hahaha! The words are decent, depending on the situation as life, Liu Quansheng's son is worthy of Liu Quansheng's son, even if he grows up in a rotten alley, he has a sweet aftertaste! Hahaha! ”

I clearly felt that the big hands holding me trembled a little, and at this moment, a sense of intimacy poured out of my heart, I seemed to be very familiar with the man in front of me, and the feeling of blood connection filled my heart with a sense of security.

I shook my head, came back to reality from my feelings, and immediately asked, "Senpai, do you know my father?" ”

Liu Li stopped, covered his head and face with his cloak again, and pressed me who was moving forward slowly, "Don't you know, we are like brothers!" Come, come, come, let me, let me take a good look at this son of the old man! ”

I asked again, "Brother Liu, you, do you know my father?" ”

Liu Liqing couldn't help himself, and repeated again, "Yes, it's not just acquaintance, it's just, it's the same person!" ”

"Then, then I shouldn't call you big brother, I should call you Uncle Liu."

I slowly took a step back, broke free of Liu Li's hands, and then bowed my hands slightly.

When this man heard my name and that of my father, he behaved very strangely, and I had better be careful not to get on the thief ship.

Seeing this, Uncle Lu, who was standing beside him, gently stabbed Liu Li with his cane, and said with a smile, "Seeing that you scared the child so much, he couldn't find the north." ”

Liu Li felt out of his temper and took a step back, his face covered by the cloak could not see his expression, but he could still feel his excitement.

Liu Li stabilized his emotions and said, "Suddenly seeing the son of the old man, thinking of the days when the evening breeze blew together and was invincible in the past, the excitement is indescribable, gaffe, gaffe!" Don't blame you. ”

I hurriedly replied, "Uncle Liu is too worried, and the juniors don't mean to blame." ”

Liu Li hesitated, looked at me affectionately, and said, "Even if you are the son of the old man, I will call you Yi'er!" Let's go, Yi'er, let's walk slowly, walk a little longer, don't worry about the city gate closing, what if the old brother guarding the city forgets to close the door? Ha ha! ”

I nodded slightly, in response.

The six of us went on the road again, Liu Li ripped off his cloak and opened the conversation again, this time, he was even more enthusiastic, from my dressing and eating, living and living, to asking about what I had learned and what I wanted to do in the future, which made me very depressed in my heart, but I had no choice but to answer patiently one by one.

Between answers, I raised my eyes, fortunately, there was already a little fire in front of Lingyuan City, and the five kilometers of 'bitter' days had finally come to an end, at this time, my lips were already dry, my throat was dry and hoarse, and I couldn't say anything impassioned.

I felt that my temper was still gentle, and I felt a trace of annoyance in my heart for no reason, but looking at the familiar uncle in front of me, I couldn't get a trace of anger, and I sighed lightly in my heart: Hey, is this called a disagreement between the eight characters and the attributes of each other?
