Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 62 The Good People in the Rivers and Lakes
Walking five miles outside the town, on the road leading to Diancang Mountain, you can feel the biting cold wind blowing from the mountain.
There are many fellow merchants, all wrapped in thick fox furs, shivering and shrinking into a ball.
This group of merchants has been going in and out of Cangshan all year round to make a living, and they know the hardships and dangers, so no matter how rich the caravan is, they will also spend a lot of money to hire one or two bodyguards from the five or six realms to enter the mountain together.
Xia Ze entered the second realm of martial arts, and the strong physique of martial artists has long been incomparable, this bit of wind is naturally nothing to him, and he is wrapped in a winter coat, so he doesn't feel anything. It's just that He Xu suffered, and the strong wind seemed to be able to compete with him, drilling through his sleeves and neck, and his little face was red from the cold.
The man and the donkey were all dazed, and they almost plunged into the river channel next to them, but fortunately, Xia Ze reacted in time and grabbed the two of them, so that their clothes were not wet by the cold and biting river water.
The merchants and darts who came and went around couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. This made He Xu feel quite faceless, and then flew up and kicked on the donkey's buttocks: "Stinky donkey, stupid donkey!" I won't be able to walk. ”
Unexpectedly, the white donkey also raised his donkey temper, flew up with a kick, and kicked He Xu to a stumbling moment.
He Xu got up, grabbed the green brick from the back basket and was about to hit it, but he was blocked by Xia Ze, and he gasped.
"Brother Xia Ze, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit this donkey." He said aggrievedly.
Xia Ze didn't say anything, just silently took out a yellow talisman from his arms and put it in He Xu's arms, he immediately felt a warm heat, transmitted to the cold limbs, like bathed in warm spring light, the original biting cold, gone.
After doing all this, Xia Ze silently turned around, led the little donkey and walked straight to the direction of Diancang Mountain, leaving He Xu stunned in place, he wiped his nose and ran up, but no matter how he shouted and prayed, Xia Ze and the little donkey always kept a distance from him and ignored him.
After chasing for a long time, He Xu was tired and panting, looking at the two figures who were gradually moving away, there was a vague mist in his eyes, wow, and he cried.
Xia Ze and the donkey, who were walking in front, heard the cry, so they turned back unhurriedly.
He Xu wiped away his tears and sobbed, "Brother Xia Ze, I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to hit a donkey. ”
Xia Ze wiped away the tears that came up from him again, and his tone was not light or heavy: "You hit Xiaobai, not me, why do you apologize to me?" ”
He Xu was teary-eyed: "Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I just felt too embarrassed, and I didn't mean to beat you." ”
The little white donkey neighed, screaming like a sheep, rubbing He Xu, which was considered to forgive him.
Xia Ze said slowly: "Before entering the city, I said that I wanted to buy you a little donkey, how did you promise me?" ”
He Xu snorted: "I promised you, Brother Xia Ze, to take good care of Xiaobai and treat him as my friend." ”
Xia Ze half-squatted and touched his little head: "Xiaobai just nodded like this, and was willing to let you ride, because he regarded you as a good brother who shared life and death, and he almost fell into the water with you just now, think about it, you relied on Xiaobai for the reason for your disgrace, is this right?" ”
"It's not right to do this," Xia Ze said, "It's like when you entered Yuqiao Town, those people were going to kill people casually because you accidentally stepped on their shoes, what if you really killed Xiaobai with that brick just now?" ”
He Xu slowly lowered his head.
"Some mistakes are irreparable, and an unintentional mistake on a whim may make some people remember it for a lifetime, or even lead him astray. You have a brick in your hand today, you can bully Xiaobai, tomorrow if you meet someone better than you, or even someone better than me, what will you do then? ”
When Xia Ze said this, his heart was sour, and he remembered a certain childhood memory, so he stopped talking, and He Xu beside him was already crying.
"Don't do that next time, you know" Xia Ze touched his head and said softly.
"Got it, Xia Ze...... Brother, I'll really ...... next time No, it won't. He Xu wiped away his tears and said intermittently.
He hugged the little white donkey tightly, cried and said, "Xiaobai is sorry ......"
The little white donkey bit the horn of his coat and motioned for him to get into the saddle and carry it on his back.
"Brother Xia Ze, will you not want me and leave me alone on the road." He asked, crying.
Xia Ze laughed and pinched his face: "Silly boy, of course not, if I don't want you, I'll sell you as a pig cub in Yuqiao Town." ”
He Xu burst into tears and laughed, just blowing out a cyan snot bubble.
In the distance, there was a sedan chair, and in the sedan chair there was a gentle woman wearing a white fox fur, lifting the curtain, and just seeing this scene, she hid her face and smiled.
There are four sedan chair drivers around the sedan chair, as well as an old man and a young dart, the older one is holding a seven-foot red tassel gun, seeing the warm scene of the 'two brothers', quite moved, raised his head and drank a sip of warm wine.
The woman whispered a word to the slightly younger man, and saw the man walking towards Xia Ze and He Xu, hugged his fists, and said magnificently: "Little brother, my name is Xu Xiuzhu." Look at the two of you just arguing, is it because your younger brother is still young and can't stand the cold. My young lady wants to invite this little brother to sit in a sedan chair, and then part ways after crossing the mountain, how about it? ”
He Xu looked at the long sword at his waist, and hid behind Xia Ze in fright, only to hear the man say with a smile: "How dare you come out and explore the rivers and lakes when you are so cowardly?" ”
Xia Ze replied: "Thank you Brother Yuhu for your kindness, my younger brother just played with this donkey and almost fell into the river, so I have all the things just now, this is not necessary, I bother you to thank your little family for me." ”
Liu Yuhu saw his speech and demeanor, although he was a little rusty, but he was so gentle that people couldn't find fault with it, so he nodded and returned to the team.
Xia Ze pinched He Xu's little face and asked, "What do you think?" ”
He Xu grinned: "It turns out that in addition to those bad guys who kill people in the rivers and lakes, there are also such good people." ”
Xia Ze nodded with satisfaction, opened the wine jar, and took a shallow sip, which was a little spicy, which was worse than Wu Dao's wine.
In the distance, the man and the lady in the sedan chair talked happily, like a pair of childhood sweethearts who had no guesses, did they burst out of a string of witty words, and the young lady laughed out of a beautiful silver ringtone.
The four palanquin drivers looked at each other and sighed.
The old man, turning a blind eye to this, let him frolic, drank a sip of wine, hung the wine gourd on the head of the gun, picked it on his shoulder, swayed slowly, and walked towards the pale and majestic Diancang Mountain.
