Chapter 20, Three Years of Peace.
Thinking of this, Li Shaoyi blinked, and he suddenly smiled.
Now I will think that the scene when he first met Don Juan was so unexpected.
Li Shaoyi didn't expect it, and Don Juan wouldn't think about it.
The reason why this world is interesting often comes from unexpected surprises.
Li Shaoyi said softly: "At that time, I never imagined that I would become friends with you. ”。
One is a noble son of the five famous schools, and the other is an arrogant boy who has just entered the rivers and lakes and boasted of being rampant in the world.
One lives in a deep and simple place, and the other wanders all day long.
Tang Juan heard Li Shaoyi's words, he didn't speak, but lay his back on the back of the chair, he raised his head gently, took a deep breath, and showed a trace of comfort on his face.
Clearly, he felt the position was very comfortable.
"There's so much you can't think of, so why bother. Don Juan yawned, not very interested in the topic.
Li Shaoyi listened to Don Juan's words, he nodded, and felt that what he said was reasonable.
At this moment, the room suddenly fell silent.
The wind chimes hanging outside the window jingle and dance in the breeze.
Looking at the small wind chimes, Li Shaoyi said with a hint of tiredness in his tone; Yes, there are too many things I can't think of, but I can't help but think about it, this is people. ”
Then, Li Shaoyi's tone changed, he looked at Don Juan lying on the bamboo chair, and asked slightly teasingly, "Aren't you like this too?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Shaoyi laughed first.
Don Juan smiled, he nodded, and did not speak.
Perhaps unwilling to make the room quiet, Li Shaoyi said without words:
"But you said you wanted to see the sword I forged, but you gave me back the key to the Sword Pavilion, you and I have known each other for so long, but you never told me why.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was five years ago, and it was obvious that Li Shaoyi was not very good at chatting with others.
Tang Juan blinked, he obviously didn't expect Li Shaoyi to suddenly ask such a sentence, and said with some confusion at the moment: "I have seen the person who forged the sword, why do you want to go to see the sword?"
"What kind of person, what kind of sword to cast, you know better than me. Don Juan finished speaking, and then half-lay down in his chair.
He looked up and looked silently at the ceiling above him.
But what's so nice about the ceiling?
"What are you looking at?" Li Shaoyi asked curiously as he watched Don Juan's movements.
Don Juan blinked, and then looked back again.
"Look at the ceiling above you to see if there's anything hidden," he said. ”
Sensing Li Shaoyi's puzzled gaze, Tang Juan smiled and said, "I won't steal it." ”
Li Shaoyi sighed and said, "Are you used to it?" ”
"Living in the place where the future owner of Sword Casting Villa lives, it will not be too ordinary. ”
Don Juan said with a smile.
Li Shaoyi shook his head, he had a weak temperament. Where would they hide something?
Even if there were, I think it's just something that Don Juan doesn't like.
Li Shaoyi waved his hand at Tang Juan, and then talked about the topic just now.
"But as a rampant owner, you will only steal treasures, but you will never steal treasures. ”
"If it's good-looking, it's not impossible. Don Juan quipped with a smile.
Li Shaoyi shook his head, this kind of joke had been heard from Don Juan's mouth too many times.
But I never heard a real answer.
"There is no truth in your mouth. Li Shaoyi sighed lightly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
I haven't seen each other for three years, and it seems that everything has changed a little bit.
Looking at Don Juan in front of him, Li Shaoyi shook his head.
Tang Juan listened to Li Shaoyi's words, he was silent for a while, sighed softly, and sat up.
"You said you were going to forge a sword for me yourself, remember?" asked Don Juan softly.
Li Shaoyi nodded, he asked Tang Juan many times about this matter, but Tang Juan never agreed.
"Do you remember why?"
Li Shaoyi nodded and said, "You said you used a knife." ”
Don Juan smiled and nodded.
"But when I said I wanted to forge a knife for you, you still didn't agree. Li Shaoyi couldn't help but ask.
"I've never seen you with a knife. ”
Hearing Li Shaoyi's words, Tang Juan sighed, hesitated for a long time, and still said: "
My knife is a murderer, but I am not a murderer. ”
Listening to Don Juan's puzzling words, Li Shaoyi frowned, feeling that Don Juan was joking again.
But when he raised his head and saw Don Juan's eyes, he was stunned.
In those eyes, he saw Don Juan's struggle and pain.
Li Shaoyi nodded lightly and did not speak.
Between the two, there was a long silence, and Li Shaoyi lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.
Don Juan, on the other hand, leaned back in the chair, and he gently kicked the ground with his right foot, making the bamboo chair shake gently like a cradle.
He closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
After a while, Li Shaoyi seemed to think of something, he raised his head, looked at Don Juan in front of him, and asked softly: "
Did you hear about Sword Forge Villa?"
Don Juan didn't open his eyes, just nodded slightly, but seemed to think of something, and then laughed softly: "The name of the rampant world is too loud, it's too difficult to hear it." ”
Li Shaoyi also smiled, he shook his head, and expressed helplessness at Don Juan's boasting.
"Even if it's a fake?" Li Shaoyi quipped.
Don Juan nodded. He stretched out his leg and kicked lightly, and the chair under him suddenly shook, making a "squeak, squeak" sound.
But Don Juan didn't seem to have much interest in this sudden rampant world.
Or, he didn't want to show it in front of Li Shaoyi.
Li Shaoyi looked at Don Juan like this and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world says that I, Li Shaoyi, am not good at words, and now it seems that you don't like to talk more than me." ”
Li Shaoyi rarely jokes, but he still speaks.
Listening to Li Shaoyi's words, the squeak of the chair stopped abruptly.
Don Juan opened his eyes, he didn't look at Li Shaoyi, but turned his head to look out the window.
Outside the window, the white clouds are like the sea, and the Moshan Mountain in the distance is towering, reaching into the sky.
"I've always talked a lot, and I thought that when I came to you this time, I would have a lot to say, and you must have a lot to ask, but when I did see you, I found that I didn't know what to say. ”
Don Juan's always flat voice had more ups and downs at this moment.
Saying goodbye three years ago, and suddenly appearing three years later, Don Juan knew that he had failed too many people.
But he had too many things to do, and he didn't dare to say it, because even he didn't dare to guarantee that he would survive.
What's more, three years have passed, and Li Shaoyi, who is about to get married.
How dare he let his friends be killed?
After Li Shaoyi listened, he was silent.
He really wanted to ask too much, he wanted to ask Don Juan why he didn't say goodbye back then, and he wanted to ask how he had been in the past three years.
He wanted to ask what he was thinking now, and what he wanted to ask was... Too much.
But he couldn't say it, because he was now just a wasted man who couldn't even swing a few strokes of his sword.
"I can't tell you why I left so suddenly, because even I don't want to remember. Don Juan's eyes were still looking out the window, and he said suddenly.
"But I can tell you that for the past three years, I have lived in a place called Ping'an Town, and it has rained almost every day, and the rain is not heavy, but people can't help but feel upset. ”
"But the mountain fire wine made in that town was so hot that it was like swallowing a fireball into your throat, and it was difficult to get used to it at first, but then it was very happy. ”
"In that town, there are no so-called masters of the rivers and lakes, but everyone is very kind, and the butcher Zhang at the entrance of the village will make two appetizers every time he sells leftover meat, and he will come to me and drink a few pots with me.
But he couldn't drink enough, and every time he got drunk, he had to marry his daughter to me, but his daughter was only ten years old this year. ”
Don Juan laughed softly as he remembered the funny appearance of Butcher Zhang's drunken appearance.
"The old king who sells wine is also interesting, I go to him every time to buy wine, and after a long time, he actually annoys me, saying that he wants to teach me how to make wine, and it is the first time I have seen this business.
He said this to many people who bought alcohol, but no one listened to him. ”
"Who doesn't know, the old king's son died in a soldier three years ago, and his wife left early, helpless, and he stayed at a small wine stall every day, and his temper was stubborn, so he really couldn't do anything about this old man. ”
"There is also a little Xiucai, I met a thief in Beijing to catch the exam, I didn't say that I would come back with the money, and I almost lost my life, but fortunately, I shot in time... Afterwards, I went around in Ping'an Town to say this, saying that I was really a righteous man and chivalrous,
If he knew what I was doing, he would be stupid. ”
"And where I lived, it was said that my brother used to live there, but when I went over, the roof was tattered, and the rain couldn't stop it, I was really a "good brother"
"And the daughter of the widow of the king of Ping'an Town..."
"The old Zhang father and son who went out fishing.."
As a name sounded in Don Juan's mouth, his originally calm eyes seemed to be shining at this moment.
Li Shaoyi listened quietly, he nodded from time to time, sometimes he heard very interesting things, and even couldn't help laughing a few times.
But he never interrupted Don Juan.
Listening to Don Juan's words, Li Shaoyi also seemed to sense something.
Three years ago, the last time he stole the jade seal of the imperial city, five days later, he put the jade seal under the holy bed. Twice entered the palace and played the saint twice.
Such a joke has already made Long Yan, the ruler of the imperial city, furious, and issued an order to swear to kill the world.
That night, the hidden dragons of the imperial city poured out of their nests and wiped out countless thieves and robbers on the rivers and lakes.
All strangers in the imperial city were interrogated, and if they did not agree with each word, they were detained.
That night, the world was rampant, and everyone in the rivers and lakes was impressed.
But that night, the four characters that ran rampant in the world also became taboo in the world, and no one dared to mention it in the imperial city.
That night, the world was rampant and left the rivers and lakes.
He came to a small town called "Ping'an" and lived a peaceful life.
But Li Shaoyi knew that Don Juan didn't want the world to know that I was the number one thief in the world.
As the saying goes, the thief does not go empty, but he returns the treasure in his hand.
Could it be that he saw the terrifying forces within the hidden dragon in the imperial city and was afraid?
But if he was afraid, why did he enter the imperial city again and put the jade seal that could command the world instead of putting it back in its original place, but under the holy bed?
Li Shaoyi shook his head, he knew Don Juan, that is, he had been rampant in the world for many years, although he was arrogant, he always remained calm.
This is something that Li Shaoyi has known for a long time.
But that night, Li Shaoyi saw the madness under Don Juan's calm.
At that moment, he didn't care about anything anymore.
He was already crazy in his heart, and he made the hidden dragon of the imperial city lose face and become the laughing stock of the whole world.
It also completely angered one of the largest forces in the world.
"What are you doing this for?" Li Shaoyi looked at Tang Juan and thought quietly.
"In the past three years, although the dilapidated house is leaking rain, it is still very comfortable. Don Juan smiled and spoke.
As soon as the words fell, a burst of red light shone in from the window, time flew by, and now, the sun was slowly sinking into the horizon.
The heavens and the earth are dyed with countless red glows, like a loving girl facing her sweetheart, bowing her head to cover her shyness.
Don Juan looked out the window, and a burst of glow fell on him, making his whole body seem to shine with a trace of golden light.
His already handsome face was now a little more holy.
"The clouds are dyed with glow, the sun is sunking, and the mountains are thousands of miles away. ”
Li Shaoyi heard Don Juan's voice, and he also turned his head to look at the sunset in the sky outside the window.
In the distance, the originally dark ink mountain was also sprinkled with red light at this moment.
It's like a sword about to be forged, and when the water cools, it will reveal its edge.
"Shaoyi, see you tomorrow. At this moment, Li Shaoyi's ears sounded Don Juan's faint farewell.
Li Shaoyi turned his head to look.
The lazy young man who was originally lying on the bamboo chair has long since disappeared.
It seems that there is no such thing at all, as if it is an illusion.
"Mouse..."Li Shaoyi muttered softly, he stood up and looked up at the window.
The breeze blew lightly, and the wind chimes hanging in front of the window rang again, "Jingle bells, jingle bells." ”
As if saying goodbye to someone, he was full of reluctance.
