Chapter 2 The Su family is in trouble
Descending the mountain into the red dust, Zhu Xie has already known that the clear space has been said many years ago that when the dragon is completed, it will be time to set off.
There is a kind of estrangement, or birth, sometimes between subtle and subtle.
In the unknown 20 years, Li Yunshui and Zhu Xie did not get along day and night, at least they met and greeted each other often, but the circumstances were completely different.
Zhu Xie is very busy, busy practicing, busy arguing, and busy receiving fellow martial artists. Li Yunshui was very idle, although he was also busy practicing and participating in meditation, but no one asked him what he should do, or how far he should go.
Over the years, twenty years have passed, one has become a towering tree, and the other has become a shrub in the forest.
After going back and forth, the two formed a tacit understanding - the two treated each other with courtesy, but what they said evolved into a simple look and a courtesy.
This is a long way to go to Jiangnan Weaving House, and it is estimated that it will take half a month. And between the two, silence took up most of the time.
Along the way, the two of them are all bamboo solutions, especially the accommodation matters, almost all of them are solved in the temples along the way, but where the bamboo solutions report to their homes, they can always get the supreme courtesy.
Bamboo solution is easy, and sometimes a lecture will be given, which is simple and exquisite, so that Li Yunshui, who is sitting on the side and listening, sighs to himself.
Since then, the news of Zhu Xie going down the mountain has spread far and wide, especially the people in the rivers and lakes, those young and old martial arts masters, or famous people, have left the sect to find Zhu Jie, hoping to have a competition.
Fortunately, the two of them kept a low profile all the way, but there were no moths.
At noon on this day, I came to Pingliu Mansion, which is the edge of the south of the Yangtze River, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and there are countless houses of Zhongming Ding Food. Li Yunshui asked for Zhujie's opinion, whether to visit the wealthy businessman Su's house, or to go to the local ancient temple Pingliu Temple to spend the night.
When going down the mountain, Su Yu, a disciple of an unknown layman, specially asked Li Yunshui, hoping to visit Old Man Su on his behalf, and repair a book to report safety.
Zhu Xie pondered for a moment and said: "The great fool of Pingliu Temple presided over the profound Buddhism and extensive martial arts, which made me fascinated for a long time. I think so, how about we split up and meet here at this time tomorrow? ”
Of course, Li Yunshui had no opinion, and the two separated.
The lintel of Sufu is tall, the mansion is magnificent, and it is not an ordinary family at first glance.
Li Yunshui knocked on the door, and after a while, there was a "squeak", but only a gap was exposed, and a small guy poked his head out, looked at Li Yunshui, who looked like a scholar in front of him, and looked around again, before asking cautiously: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Little brother, I am Li Yunshui of the Nameless Temple, and I am a friend of your young master Su Yu, he asked me to visit Old Man Su, and I ask you to report it."
When the little guy heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Li Yunshui in, and before he could care about closing the door, he pulled Li Yunshui and ran inside, shouting excitedly all the way: "Master, Li Gongzi of the Nameless Temple is here, we are saved!" ”
Li Yunshui was confused, was he saved? What's the situation?
After a while, an old man walked out of the middle hall, dressed in purple clothes and wearing a crown and hat, looking like he was in his fifties, perhaps hearing the words of the little girl, and quickly greeted him.
"Who is this?"
"Master, this is Li Gongzi, a friend of the young master in the Nameless Temple!" The little guy was very excited.
"Please, please!"
The wrinkles on Old Man Su's brows stretched out suddenly, and he quickly pulled Li Yunshui back, led him to the middle hall and sat down, and immediately ordered someone to serve tea.
"Uncle Su is polite!" Li Yunshui had never been received so politely, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Master Su: "I have known Su Yu for more than two years, and we are both lay disciples, like brothers, Uncle Su doesn't need to be so polite." ”
"Where is there, my son's friend is naturally a guest in the Su family." At this time, the tea was served, and Old Man Su hurriedly signaled to Li Yunshui: "Master Li, please drink tea." ”
It was difficult to be gracious, Li Yunshui picked up the tea and took a sip in the hopeful eyes of the old man Su, the tea had not yet been eaten, but he heard the old man Su ask a little anxiously: "I take the liberty of asking, which family is the son of Mr. Li?" How many years have you been practicing in Nameless? ”
Li Yunshui put down the teacup and responded with a smile: "The kid was brought back to the temple by the abbot master since he was a child, an orphan, he never had a family background, and he spent twenty years in the nameless, ashamed and ashamed!" ”
Unexpectedly, when Old Man Su heard this, he was excited, stepped forward and knelt down with a "poof", and kept kowtowing: "Li Gongzi, please save my daughter for my son's sake!" ”
Li Yunshui was taken aback, stood up and went to help the old man Su get up, but the old man seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said to himself: "If Gongzi Li doesn't agree, the old man won't dare to get up!" ”
After that, I couldn't help but cry.
"That'...... Uncle, get up first and tell me what's going on! ”
When Old Man Su heard this, he seemed to be greatly comforted in his heart, and slowly got up and sat down with Li Yunshui's support.
"Li Gongzi, please let Xiao Lao'er elaborate."
"This matter has to start from ten years ago, it is the inseparable change. Ten years ago, he raised troops to the south and fought until Jiangnan Mansion, but fortunately, the old general Xu Sanjiang of the Tiger Slaughter Battalion was very brave and led the army to repel the Northern Barbarians, so that Jiangnan was able to make peace for ten years. ”
"But Na Mo left the heart of Tu Jiangnan to die, and actually encircled the Northern Wilderness Torch Sect and launched an attack on Jiangnan again. Although Xu Sanjiang's old general Baodao is not old, he has not been able to afford to be sick recently, and it is said that he has fallen into a coma. ”
"At this juncture, the Torch Sect has infiltrated Jiangnan without a trace, because they are people from the rivers and lakes, not like the soldiers and horses of Daxing, and the orphans are relatively scattered, which is really difficult to deal with. In fact, it would be okay if this was the case, even if General Xu was ill, the imperial court would pay attention to solving it. ”
"However, the Torch Cult is menacing, and it does not conquer cities and territories, but only cares about people, money, and things. Xiao Lao'er has worked hard over the years, and he has a little money to spare, so he can teach the torch. However, in addition to forcing me to hand over eighty percent of my belongings, the young master of the Torch Sect also asked me to give the little girl Su Jue to him as a concubine. ”
"Not to mention whether the little girl is willing, it is our children of Shaping Yang, the Han family is of authentic blood, how can we enter the mouth of the tiger and marry the northern barbarian? I can't agree to this! ”
"Five days ago, the carefree son sent a letter, asking him to wear red and hang colors in the house tomorrow, and dress Su Jue as a bride, and he will come to pick it up. This...... But what can I do with the little old man! ”
After speaking, Old Man Su sobbed again.
Li Yunshui fell into deep thought, he had heard of the Torch Sect, and the missionary lord Mo Xiao was very talented, wise, and very good at kung fu, his son Worry-free Son-in-law would definitely not be bad, otherwise he would not let Worry-free Son go to Jiangnan alone.
What can I do?
Seeing that Li Yunshui was silent, Old Man Su couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and knelt in front of Li Yunshui again: "Young Master Li, little old man, please beg, for the sake of my son's face, save the little girl!" I...... I'm willing to give up all my possessions...... Gift to Childe! ”
Li Yunshui once again helped up Old Man Su, thinking to himself, Senior Brother Zhujie is in Pingliu Temple not far away, and he agreed to meet at noon tomorrow, looking at the current situation, maybe only he can solve the problem.
After a while, I asked someone to bring a letter to my senior brother and ask him to come over by tomorrow.
That's it, or do it!
So, he said to Old Man Su: "Uncle, don't worry, tomorrow's matter may be solved, please put your heart down." ”
This statement made Old Man Su very happy, and he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare wine and food to serve. Li Yunshui also repaired a book, and asked the Su Mansion family to pass it on.
During the banquet, Mr. Su thanked him for his kindness, and he was full of anxiety and expectation. In the end, the guests and hosts were happy, and Li Yunshui gave Su Yu's letter to Old Man Su.
That night, Li Yunshui stayed in the Su Mansion guest room.
The long night is like water, and the cicadas and frogs correspond to each other in the garden, this is the first time he has stayed outside the temple, and he can't help but have a lot of thoughts, but he doesn't know where to start.
Between tossing and turning, a burst of piano sounds floated in, like a complaint, like a cry.
He put on his shirt and slowly walked out the door. From a distance, in the garden lake, in a small pavilion, a girl is playing the piano.
The girl was extremely beautiful, with long hair draped over her back, melon seed face, phoenix eyes and thin eyebrows, her mouth like a clear pool, the breeze blowing, and her snow-white body swayed like a weak willow.
Li Yunshui listened quietly, and at the end of the song, the girl couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and was pondering, but she saw a young man standing by the water, and the boy also looked at each other.
Li Yunshui walked over slowly, bowed with a smile, and said, "The girl is so talented, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing her." ”
The girl shook her head slightly, then sighed, and said, "Su Jue doesn't dare to be." ”
After being silent for a long time, he looked at Li Yunshui seriously, hesitated for a long time, a little tentative, and a little shy, and asked, "Childe is my brother's friend?" ”
"Yes, Su Yu asked me to go to your mansion to report my safety, so I bothered."
"Peace...... Alas! Su Jue frowned slightly, "I just hope that my brother will study hard and keep his life safe." ”
Li Yunshui was silent.
"Li Gongzi, I'...... There is a reluctant request, and I ask you to agree. ”
"Miss Su, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"You have been in the Nameless Temple for many years, and you must know Master Zhujie very well. Can...... Can you tell me about him? After Su Jue finished speaking, his cheeks turned red.
Li Yunshui was happy in his heart: It seems that although the senior brother is an outsider, it is inevitable that the beauty will be remembered!
Seeing through it or not, Li Yunshui didn't ask the reason, and told Su Jue how smart the bamboo solution is, how subtle the Zen machine is, and how the martial arts are superb. Su Jue'an listened quietly, and his eyes gradually brightened.
"Wonderful monk bamboo solution...... Really...... At the end of the ......", Su Jue sighed with emotion, and looked at the dark lake, as if he was settled.
Seeing this, Li Yunshui quietly got up and left quietly.
This night's Su Mansion, this night's Su family, can't sleep after all.
As soon as the morning dawned, Li Yunshui's door was knocked open, and Su Zuo, the housekeeper of Su Mansion, walked in with a package and handed it to Li Yunshui respectfully: "Master Li, the master asked me to prepare some silver taels for you, while it's still early, go out quickly to avoid trouble!" ”
Li Yunshui was puzzled: "Didn't I discuss it with Uncle Su yesterday?" Dealing with the carefree son together today, why did you change your mind again? ”
It's okay not to say this, as soon as he heard this, Su Zuo couldn't hold back his anger anymore, his eyebrows squeezed, and his face darkened.
However, after all, he was the housekeeper of a wealthy family, he took a deep breath, forced his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Gongzi Li, thank you for bringing back the gospel of the young master thousands of miles away, but the situation in front of the Su family can't help you much, let alone take it in." You and the young master have a relationship, and the master specially asked me to send you silver taels to show your gratitude, leave early! ”
After that, without waiting for Li Yunshui to react, he made a "please" gesture. Li Yunshui had no choice but to follow.
Along the way, the servants and maids in the past were in a hurry and full of panic, especially the little guy who led Li Yunshui yesterday, when he saw Li Yunshui, his face rose with anger, and he cursed in a low voice: "Why do you think you are a master, I'm just a master who is greedy for money and seeks peace, and cheats to eat and drink!" ”
"I sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday to contact my senior brother Zhu Jie, he is strong in martial arts, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it, and he will definitely be able to solve the difficulties of the Su family. Don't...... Master Su doesn't believe it? Li Yunshui asked Su Zuo.
Su Zuo's face was sad and indignant, and his tone couldn't help but increase a little: "I think Li Gongzi should leave as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's late." A friendly reminder that those who listen to persuasion live the longest. These words are good for you and for your senior brother. ”
"What does Steward Su mean?"
Steward Su suddenly turned around, viciously forced Li Yunshui to stop, and said hatefully: "Zhu Jie, this dog thief, he actually colluded with Wu Wu and killed the Great Fool Master!" ”
