Flying Snow and Smoke and Rain Chapter 14 - The Woodcutter Takes Pity on the Flowers
Shattered Cloud Mountain Range: Plum Blossom Temple
The moon bends and the snow is warm, and when will the people return.
Yun Zhemei sat on a bench, took a sip of hot tea in her hand, and admired the bright moon in the sky, which looked even whiter under the reflection of the snow on the mountain.
In the wisps of light, as if she saw the shadow of Yun Musheng still wandering in front of her, why did she start thinking about that little cub again, Yun Zhimei couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, a black shadow swept by, Yun Zhimei was suddenly alert, her hand unconsciously clenched the Mei Han on her waist, and after smelling a familiar breath, she calmed down, and only then did she miss Yun Musheng's gentle face, and revealed the majestic face on weekdays:
"What are you going to do?"
The man came out of the dark corner, and it was the mysterious Mr. Nan, who had taken off his veil, and under the veil was a handsome and murderous face, and the hat on his head covered his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to let that kid out of the mountain."
Mr. Nan's tone sounded cold, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his words. Yun Zhemei smacked her lips disdainfully, and said angrily:
"Hmph, if you get cheap and sell well, you think I don't know, you have come to see Sheng'er many times in the past few years, and you have also taught him the art of vertical and horizontal, how can ordinary people understand the fast snow and sunny times at a young age, you have already begun to prepare for him to go down the mountain."
Mr. Nan touched the jade pendant engraved on his waist with two sword marks, one vertical and one horizontal, and said quietly:
"It seems that your woman is not stupid, my brother exchanged death for a short period of peace and prosperity, this seed of peace is continued, I will never let him make any mistakes."
Jiangnan Yizhou City Xuanji Teahouse
To say that this Xuanji teahouse is a good place for ordinary people to pass the time, idle and comfortable.
The side of the building is the famous Ninghuai River in the south of the Yangtze River, tasting tea, enjoying the scenery, the fragrance of tea is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, from time to time there is a storyteller in the teahouse to tell the story of the rivers and lakes, it is really a wonderful scene.
Beimingyu usually likes to come to this Xuanji teahouse to drink tea, he once said to Yun Musheng that women don't like men to drink, Sanqi must not like it, drinking too much not only gaffes, but also leaving a fermented smell in the mouth.
So on weekdays, when he travels with friends, he chooses this Xuanji Teahouse, and Yun Musheng is no exception.
"I can't imagine that you, a layman, have such a noble hobby." Yun Musheng took a sip of Biluochun in the cup and teased at Bei Mingyu.
Bei Mingyu didn't pay attention, his attention was completely on the old man downstairs who was preparing, it seems that these two people are lucky today, it coincides with the introduction of the storyteller, and they can add another fun to this tea tasting.
The old man today is talking about the Jiangnan folk classic "Woodcutter Pity Flower", saying that there is a woodcutter on this mountain, one day when he went up the mountain to chop wood, he suddenly saw that the peach blossoms on the mountain were very beautiful, so he stopped to look at it for a while, and met a woman who was also fascinated by this peach blossom.
In this way, the two enjoyed it together for a while, she didn't look at him, he didn't look at the flowers.
After that, they met several times, but the young woodcutter never dared to take the initiative to say a word.
Until one day, the two stayed a little late, seeing that the sun was about to set, the woman just wanted to leave, who expected to meet a group of thieves, all with obscene faces, thief eyebrows, and were about to come forward to tease.
The woodcutter suddenly got the courage out of nowhere, and he picked up the axe in his hand and cut it down, perhaps the pent-up emotions of the love for the woman after the months of tossing and turning, and at this moment turned into anger against the thief, and poured out.
As the saying goes, the horizontal is afraid of the ruthless, the ruthless is afraid of the dead, this gang of thieves saw this crazy woodcutter, they retreated in fear, since then, the woman and the woodcutter have a lifelong love, white-headed old together, become a well-known story in Jiangnan.
"The hero saves the beauty and hugs the beauty, this story is beautiful, but it is a little old-fashioned."
Having said that, Yun Musheng listened to the whole process with relish. The corner of Bei Mingyu's mouth smiled:
"Heh, you famous disciples are all strong in martial arts, but you are not afraid of those thieves, but ordinary people are different, their hands have never been stained with blood in their lives, what kind of courage do you have to dare to fight with the knife thief,
Besides, if you tell the truth, when you were a child and studied martial arts in the mountains, did you ever fantasize about such a plot of heroes saving beauty in your mind? ”
Yun Musheng was stopped by Bei Mingyu's words for a while, and stood up when his sweetheart was in distress, punished the thief, and hugged the beauty, which was a heroic scene that many boys had fantasized about when they were teenagers.
Although the story of "The Woodcutter Pity the Flower" is old-fashioned, it expresses the beautiful fantasy in the hearts of ordinary men, in this mysterious teahouse where people come and go, comfortable and harmonious, and then told by the experienced storyteller, it is tireless to hear.
Suddenly, Bei Mingyu stood up and said to Yun Musheng with a serious face:
"Brother Yun, now the crocodile gang has done all kinds of evil in Jiangnan, once the people get out of Yizhou City, except for a few famous people near the villa, the rest of the places are all scared, even during the day, they have to walk quickly, for fear of encountering thieves...
"Stop, stop."
Yun Musheng interrupted Bei Mingyu's suddenly serious words.
"Do you want to destroy the Crocodiles and be the hero of the people's evil? It's good to have a good idea, but it's just your martial arts... I remember the last time someone was hung from a tree and almost lost their life. ”
"Naturally, I can't do it alone, but now it's different, with Brother Yun, your martial arts, the crocodile gang and those little thieves are not your opponents, don't worry, I have already started investigating them,
The leader of the crocodile gang is called Yang Tiehu, but he has some skills, but his younger brother Yang Tiebao has never practiced martial arts, but he has the ability to refine medicine and turn pills, and it is rumored that he can refine an elixir that blends people's blood with beast blood, and it is sold for a lot of good prices, so the crocodile gang has the money to raise so many thieves. ”
What Bei Ying Yu said is true, it seems that he really investigated it, and he knows a lot about the Crocodile Gang.
Human blood and animal blood are fused, who would need this elixir? Yun Musheng felt a little new after hearing this.
"Harm,It is said that the buyer is a person from the Hidden Sun Pavilion.,There's a string of wolf blood in the Hidden Sun Pavilion.,It seems to be called.。。。 Belch... What is it called... ”
"Wolf Eater Han Evil!" Yun Musheng gritted his teeth and said the name, this is a person he will never forget, maybe after getting the master's Thousand Bird Sword, Yun Musheng's next goal is to kill this person.
"Alas, yes, yes, it's called Han Xie, then Yang Tiebao will refine the Blood Melting Pill, which is the cash cow of the Crocodile Gang, as long as there is no other person in addition to this person, the Crocodile Gang will have a broken foundation and scatter."
Yun Musheng only felt that this was nonsense on a whim of Bei Mingyu, but after listening to him, he also began to feel that he had a real meaning, and it was related to the Han evil of the Hidden Sun Pavilion, which made Yun Musheng want to go and explore.
Bei Mingyu continued to talk in detail about his plan to suppress the thief, at the end of each month is the day when Yang Tiehu goes to sea to personally escort the goods, that day only Yang Tiebao's old thief is alone in the gang, as long as the two of them dress up as thieves and hold their waist cards, they can blend in.
When the time comes, Yun Musheng rushed into the refining pharmacy and killed Yang Tiebao, and he will have the ancestral Netherworld Powder in his family to let us get out.
"Since Yang Tiebao is so important to the Crocodile Gang, even if we get in, the refining pharmacy must be heavily guarded, why should people let us in, besides, where did you get the waist card."
Although Yun Musheng was already a little impulsive in his heart, he still felt that Bei Mingyu's plan was not good, if he could take Yang Tiebao's life so easily, then he should have been slaughtered several times.
"Don't worry, that Yang Tiebao will send people to the city to buy medicinal materials in the order of the crocodile gang's tent every month, I calculated the month, and this month should be the turn of Ding Ying's Scarface,
That guy is a straw bale, lustful by nature, just use the beauty trick to lure him, find a dark corner and slaughter him, you can get his waist card, and enter the alchemy pharmacy justifiably. ”
Bei Mingyu finished his plan to suppress the thieves in an orderly manner, and it sounded complete.
Although Yun Musheng is still in a state of doubt after hearing this, it is the duty of the people in the rivers and lakes to exterminate the thieves and protect the people.
"Okay, then this crocodile gang, I'll accompany you to break into him, but... Well, I said, how do you know the Crocodiles so well? It feels like you're back home. ”
Yun Musheng was a little curious. When Bei Mingyu heard this, his face suddenly became much more ugly, the corners of his eyes began to moisten slightly, and he paused for a moment and said:
"As I expected, I wasn't mistaken! In fact, my brother did not die, but mixed into the crocodile gang a few years ago, and exchanged secret letters with me for several years, just hoping that one day my father and mother under Jiuquan could be blinded.
But I am weak, who will fight against the crocodile gang for a down-and-out person, until I meet you, from the day you saved me, I believe that you are a jealous and hateful person, coupled with the information I have collected over the years, I believe that if you are willing to take action as a benefactor, there must be a way to make the crocodile gang hurt greatly. ”
Yun Musheng pinched Bei Mingyu's shoulder, the down-and-out boy in front of him, who seemed to be unlearned and idle, was carrying such a heavy burden.
"So Ling Zun..."
"Alas, when I was young, just because my father's business was big and blocked Yang Tiehu's financial road, he died tragically under his knife, and my mother was unwilling to suffer Yang Tiehu's humiliation, so she swung her sword and killed herself."
After the story was finished, Bei Mingyu left the tea money, and took the folding fan left by the unknown guest, and walked away.
