Chapter 33: The singing is long, and thousands of troops ride alone
Zhen Ying changed into men's clothes and hurried all the way to the north.
Her experience in the rivers and lakes was all heard from Fang Jinzhi, but it was easier said than done, even Fang Jinzhi, who was a master, had never been out of Wu County, let alone her?
Zhen Ying knew that she didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, so she simply found a century-old dart game, and spent a lot of money to hire the chief dart head of the dart board to escort her, and the two pretended to be father and son.
It is necessary to know that the young man walks alone in the rivers and lakes, which is the best place for hydrological code words, and he goes south and north along the way, not to say anything about selling himself to bury his father, heroes to save beauty, etc., is to make friends with heroes, break the temple and be in danger...... After all, I can write 18,000 words.
Zhen Yingwen is from Jiang Che, Wu is from Jinzhi, and she is the daughter of the lord of Chengyi, she was born really extraordinary, how can she not know that the rivers and lakes are sinister?
Her prodigal father famously said, "Anything that can be solved with money is nothing." ”
Zhen Ying weighed the priorities slightly, knowing that the poor family was rich, she had already prepared a bag of fragmentary gems and scattered silver, gave the gems to the dart board, and designated to be escorted by the chief dart head, all the way to the north until she found her mother.
Of course, if you can't find your mother, you won't lose money, you just need to take your own handwritten book to Wuzhong Palace, and you can get your own silver.
The further north he went, the more checkpoints, Zhen Ying even saw his own bounty in several big cities, which was as much as 10,000 gold, although he felt a little guilty about his father-in-law, he knew that the future was uncertain, but he just found a local beggar to send a letter to the government to report his safety, and when he was looking for someone, he had already walked 108,000 miles.
Compared with your own bounty, a small bag of gems is not much of a cost. Zhen Ying looked at the chief dart head beside her, and secretly praised herself in her heart for not losing money.
Outside the Bauhinia Pass is the grassland, the two of them walked all the way, the land is vast and sparsely populated, suddenly, Mr. Luo raised his hand to restrain the horse, the two listened carefully, but they heard a ghostly song in the vast yellow sand.
"The road to Huangquan is long, the underworld is quiet, please go back quickly, the soul is not close here, and the gods are disgusted, but don't miss the time, the wrong return date."
The woman's voice came faintly from the yellow sand, like weeping, complaining, admonishing, exhorting poignantly, but also with a sweetness.
"Where love goes, it goes deep, the living can die, and the dead can live. If life cannot be compared with death, and death cannot be reborn, how can you dare to talk about deep affection? The voice was even more sad, with a desolate tone, as if it had pierced through the red dust: "If you can't meet it, even if you don't want to return." A lovesickness is not negative, but seek common ground and take the road of three lives. ”
The voice was lowered, with a breathtaking magic, not the deliberate coquettishness of the dusty woman, but with some beacon wolf smoke, yellow sand wilderness polished, and even the netherworld yellow spring water precipitated, with a slightly hoarse sense of vicissitudes.
This poignant tone came over in the vast wilderness, accompanied by a few high-pitched long howls, which were really strange in the wilderness.
But Luo Dart's head martial soul was in his body, he was not afraid at all, he didn't see anyone for a while, he looked at the sky again, raised his horsewhip, and continued to hurry.
When I got to the tavern on the road ahead and sat down, I saw the man who sang.
The woman wore a hat and veil, her face could not be seen clearly, her shoulders were shaved, her waist was like a plain, her green shirt and white skirt were like a draped ring, her song was like a harp of a boya, she sighed like a building that was gradually leaving, and she sang for a long time, as if she was singing the story of an amorous man who chased him to the underworld to find his lover.
But before the story was finished, the thin horse moved with difficulty to the door of the inn, and stopped.
The woman walked into the inn, as if feeling a little ashamed, and then straightened the light veil on the hat, and covered her neck together. She dismounted and handed over the reins and the hostess of the shop, and asked in a low voice, "Is there still a room?" I don't want a man to live. ”
It's a strange request, but it's nothing. Although Luo Ling traveled north and south and saw many ladies with cleanliness, the inn would always give more care to the guests who could pay for it in order to please the guests.
The proprietress of the restaurant is a bright woman, quite a bit of beauty, but more plump than when she was a girl, such a face is very pleasing to smile, although often accompanied by yellow sand, but still can hear some southern accents: "Tianzi No. 2 room has always been prepared for Mrs. Miss, girl, you live just right." ”
The shopkeeper hadn't met any customers for a long time, so the shopkeeper poured a pot of wine and sat down to talk.
Luo Darttou saw that although he was armed with martial arts, his martial arts were mediocre, and he was not a monk, so he asked a few words quietly, and the shopkeeper replied with a smile, saying that it was to gain a foothold here, and he learned some of the best kung fu.
The Luo family is not a first-class martial arts family, and they can start a dart game, half of which is dependent on Yu Yin, and half of it is for future generations.
The ancestor of the Luo family was a butcher before he became a soldier, and he relied on his bravery to win the favor of a general under the throne of the Taizu of this dynasty, and he can be regarded as a hero who rose up in response to the situation in the troubled times.
, this ancestor is too straightforward, so he doesn't like much in the court, and only explains some work to escort the people and protect the families of high-ranking officials.
Today's martial arts masters practice martial arts, are the first generation of everyone to pass down, after the descendants of thousands of tempering, set the strength of the family and their own understanding, has long been no longer a simple "art", but the knowledge of the object, the power of self-cultivation and Qi family together accumulated, gradually have the spirit of the "Tao" in the inside, and then go up, after the "practice qi, forging, concentration, concentration" four levels, can be called a serious monk.
Since the Luo family is a dart game, they naturally have a lot of connections: although they are doing businessmen's business, the nine major families and the five major schools all need to sell him some face.
It must be known that the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, but human feelings.
If it is an ordinary businessman's family, the family sect naturally disdains to deal with it.
When the ancestors of the Luo family went south in the foreign race, they had escorted several famous loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, and after the war, they were disarmed and returned to the field, and they were widely gracious, and the rivers and lakes took care of them.
The Luo family's dart game, first took the official road, starting from the post station. Later, in order to take care of the orphans and widows of his fellow brothers, the little oil and water in the post station was not enough, so he gradually relied on the business of the rivers and lakes, and gathered many brothers who did not have pension money back then, and opened a dart game, which was called a righteous act by the people of the time.
It is also someone in the martial arts who gives face, the rivers and lakes dart, and the prestige of the ancestors only accounts for one percent, this is the ability to protect the family, the name is loud, others are willing to recognize, it is another ability to develop business.
But the most important thing is to rely on black and white dishes to eat, and everyone is familiar with it.
At present, although there is a post station for official consignment documents, the Luo family wants to recognize the second in the business of the delivery guarantor of the dart bureau, and I am afraid that no dart bureau dares to be the first.
Three years of practicing knives and ten years of sharpening swords, the ancestors of the Luo family are fast-paced, and Xi's knife path is also a way to seek rapid killing on the battlefield.
Luo Darttou has some martial arts qualifications, but unfortunately the knife technique practiced at home really has no background, purely relying on three points of understanding, seven points of concentration, "Qianjun Knife" knife method thirteen roads, are all from the "Taizu Long Fist", mediocre, four flat and eight stable, only to achieve fast and stable, the momentum is huge, the force is a thousand jun, there is a lonely brave momentum on the battlefield against the enemy, put it to death and then live a brave state, but also thanks to the friends of the rivers and lakes to support the scene, there is a "thousand Jun knife" reputation.
Luo Darthead has long been familiar with his face in the green forest, carrying Zhen Ying, all the way out of the post station, it is a cottage, several famous kings and Luo Ling called brothers and sisters, even Zhen Ying is also stained, with the name of "young darthead" to know a lot of heroes.
This road is calm, and there are few people who don't have long eyes to disturb.
The territory of Zhongzhou is naturally safe and sound, and once it is outside the borders of Zhongzhou, the folk customs are different.
Fifteen miles outside Bauhinia Pass, there was only an inn, no matter how Luo Ling felt that it was inappropriate, he could only order the store to open the upper room and let Zhen Ying go to put it soft, but he was eating alone in the hall.
It was evening at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, but there was only a group of people in the hall, a boss and a proprietress who poured wine, but there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the south. The sound of hooves is getting closer, as if a group of people and horses are coming, not to mention nearly a hundred people, the sound of horses' hooves is messy, not like a sergeant, and it is a robber when it is touched.
After a cup of tea, a team of horses surrounded the inn.
