Hankasa • Volume 2 • Catastrophe Chapter 44

Zheng Kai said: "It turns out that Miss Yushan is obsessed with books, which makes Zheng Kai impressed. Peng Yushan said: "It's just that I know some fur, and I keep the boudoir alone on weekdays, and that's all I like, Zheng Shaoxia doesn't think that women should be diligent in cultivating boudoirs, and no talent is virtue." Zheng Kai said: "Naturally not, look at my junior sister, but there is no talent, a long sword makes it superb, the master wanted to make Xiaoqiu like an ordinary woman in the early years, just know the book and be courteous, but she didn't listen, she had to shout to learn the sword, this time the sword is martial arts, it is not as beautiful as Miss Yushan." Peng Yushan said: "I envy Miss Ye, if I can go to the rivers and lakes with a sword like her, it will be a great pleasure." Zheng Kaixin said: "It turns out that Miss Yushan also has the heart of yearning for the rivers and lakes, eh, in our Ye Yun faction, there are few people who have passed the volume, oh yes, Xu Qing has been reading since childhood, is familiar with group books, and does not forget to close the book, and only joined me Ye Yun as an outer disciple a few months ago." Peng Yushan said: "Xu Shaoxia also likes to read poetry and books, and my brother is good at making friends with people in the rivers and lakes, but there are really few people who are both civil and military." ”

As soon as he said to himself, but seeing that Xu Qing had arrived, Zheng Kai smiled and said, "Just now I talked about Senior Brother Xu, you came." Xu Qing said: "What did you say about me?" Peng Yushan said: "It's nothing, does Xu Shaoxia read the paper from time to time?" Xu Qing said: "Since I entered Ye Yun, I have rarely read books, why did you suddenly mention this?" Zheng Kai smiled and said: "It's just a small talk, what are you doing here?" Xu Qing hurriedly said: "I just went to the dining room to see Mrs. Peng Lao Peng, and the two elders have already entered the table, so let's see if you can go together." Peng Yushan said: "What about my brother?" Xu Qing said: "Peng Gongzi seems to be still practicing swords." Peng Yushan said angrily: "This brother who doesn't care about anything, he only cares about his own happiness, let's go to the dining room." ”

The three of them were discharged from the hospital together.

Half a moment later, the dining room gathered the five members of the Peng family, plus Zheng Kai and Xu Qing, but Ye Qiu had not yet arrived, Zheng Kai felt that he had lost his manners, so he said aggrievedly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, wait for me to go and take a look." ”

Seeing that everyone was the same, he went out of the hall alone, bumped into Ye Qiu head-on, and complained to her: "Why did you come?" Ye Qiu said: "There are a lot of courtyards, and I got lost for a while, hehe." ”

Zheng Kai had no choice but to pull him into the hall, Ye Qiu apologized to the five members of the Peng family, and the five of them refused to salute: "It's not a big deal, why care." ”

A few people sat down to eat, during the banquet Xu Qing invited himself to go to the village to inquire about some rumors, and to know something about it, but Peng Huai refused: "Xu Shaoxia doesn't want to go out of the village, the imperial army is unstoppable these days, it is not easy to collide with it, and the village is full of people. Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Old Peng doesn't know, as a person from the rivers and lakes, how can I settle in the house, and the village will never notice it, and I only need to listen to one or two, and I am not dancing the sword to face the enemy, where can I rush to say?" Zheng Kai said: "Senior Brother Xu, don't be anxious, what Peng Lao said is not unreasonable, now it is better to protect the house with peace of mind, if there is an accident, then the consequences are unpredictable." ”

Xu Qing waited to speak again, seeing that Zheng Kaiye Qiu had no intention of going out, and insisted on going out of the house to look out of place, so he stopped talking, Peng Yubo said: "If Xu Shaoxia feels bored, I will accompany you to practice a few tricks, and I can polish for a while." Ye Qiu said interestingly: "Peng Gongzi's swordsmanship is a good girl, but she can fight with Senior Brother Xu." ”

Xu Qing was slightly angry when he heard this, on the way to Peng's house, he had already heard that Zheng Kai had defeated Peng Yubo with Ye Qiu's ten moves, but his current words belittled his sword power, which was quite unpleasant, Zheng Kai said angrily: "Xiaoqiu, don't talk nonsense." Peng Yubo said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zheng, don't blame Miss Ye, it's me Peng Yubo's skills are not as good as others, and you must practice diligently." ”

After putting down the chopsticks and leaving the table, Peng Lao didn't keep him after calling out, so he apologized to the three of them: "Don't be surprised by the three of you, the child is used to being stubborn." Zheng Kai said: "Peng Laoxiu wants to say this, it is Xiaoqiu who is full of nonsense and acts recklessly, and it is common for Peng Gongzi to leave the table." ”

Ye Qiu felt rude, so he apologized: "Xiaoqiu doesn't know the number of etiquette, and he doesn't choose what to say, I hope you don't want to be surprised, I'll go to find Peng Gongzi and apologize to him." ”

After that, he also put the chopsticks on the table, stood and left the hall, looked left and right, and didn't know where his shadow was, and saw that the waiter next to him was cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard, so he approached and asked: "Have you seen Peng Gongzi?" The waiter said: "I just saw it, I should go to the east courtyard." ”

Ye Qiuzuo Xie walked away, went east, bypassed several courtyards, and was worried about the large Peng Mansion and lost his way, when he saw a person dancing a sword under the pear tree in the distance, it was Peng Yubo.

Peng Yubo was ashamed and angry, ran out of the hall, took the long sword in the house, and went to the east courtyard, only because there were several sword books hidden in a book pavilion in the east courtyard, which was obtained by Peng Huai from traveling in the rivers and lakes in the early years, Peng Huai did not like to do martial arts, so he did not practice, and stored it in the cabinet for many years.

However, Peng Yubo did not give up, he went into the room every day to read secretly, went out of the room and returned to the house at dusk, pretending to have nothing to do, holding a book in his hand and burying his head in reading.

In this way, he learned some swordsmanship, until this summer, since he came to this shallow water realm, he often went out, looking for friends with people in the rivers and lakes, and eating wine and food with him, but it was difficult to enter the shallow water gang, just because the first responsibility of joining the gang was to abandon his family, and he could not return to the house without the compliance of the teacher. Ambiguous 43

So far, he has not moved any thoughts for dozens of days, and he has been punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and he has a long memory, and now he is ridiculed by Ye Qiu like this, and the big dream of the rivers and lakes in his heart is haunted, and he rushes out of the hall in anger for a while, and waives his long sword wildly.

Ye Qiu watched from the sidelines, seeing that his sword moves were chaotic, and there was no discipline at all, so he took a few steps closer and said with a smile: "Look at Peng Gongzi's sword moves, which are vulgar and full of loopholes, don't look for martial arts rivers and lakes anymore, or take good care of your father and mother at home." ”

When Peng Yubo saw Ye Qiu coming, he was overjoyed, but when he heard him say such ugly words, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Miss Ye is a disciple of the famous Ye Yun Sect, with a school origin, and her swordsmanship is superb, and I was born in an official family, so my natural swordsmanship is low, so why should the girl be aggressive with her long and short knowledge?"

Ye Qiu saw that his face was red, and he secretly thought that this person was really not interesting enough, and he came with the promise of Fang Cai, so he said warmly: "Master Peng, I am too serious to say it just now, and I am ashamed, so I have come to apologize to you." ”

Peng Yubo saw that his tone was suddenly warm, but he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he said suspiciously: "Ye Nuxia has sharp teeth, why do you bow to me, a person with low swordsmanship?" Ye Qiu said: "I am a guest, you are the owner of the house, I dare not overstep, Peng Gongzi raised his noble hand, so don't worry about the little woman." Peng Yubo said with a smile: "Little girl, this is a shameful name that everyone's ladies say, like Ye Nuxia, a rough person can say it, it's really weird." ”

Ye Qiu was annoyed and embarrassed when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "What do you call me a rough person, I am a woman, you don't have the attitude of a gentleman to call me like this." Peng Yubo said: "Miss Ye is still here to apologize?"

Ye Qiu suddenly felt out of place, so he said politely: "How can Peng Gongzi not care?"

Peng Yubo thought anxiously and said: "There is one thing, if Ye Nuxia can promise me, I will no longer care." Ye Qiu said: "What's the matter?" Peng Yubo said: "Take me as an apprentice and pass on my swordsmanship." Ye Qiu was shocked: "No, absolutely not, the primary rule of the Ye Yunchuang faction is not to teach and receive it privately, or to pass on the swordsmanship of others without permission, if you don't follow it and drive it out of the mountain gate immediately, you will not be able to return to your eternal life." ”

Peng Yubo was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said: "If I worship under Ye Yunmen, then everything can be expected." Ye Qiu said: "If you start with the master, you will naturally be safe, but even so, the person who can pass on your swordsmanship can only be the master, not me, the senior sister." After that, he said: "However, Ye Yun is difficult to enter, and people with outstanding sword power like Senior Brother Xu are only outer disciples. Peng Yubo said: "Xu Shaoxia's swordsmanship is better than Ye Nuxia?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows and said: "He is an outer disciple, I am an inner disciple, who do you say is better?" Peng Yubo smiled: "Then it is naturally Ye Nuxia, and I have to bother Ye Nuxia to introduce me and ensure that I get started." Ye Qiu said: "Now that the imperial court is on a large scale, how can the head of the family easily accept apprentices, I don't know how long I Ye Yun can survive, everyone in the rivers and lakes is in danger, and I can't get out, so as not to make this disaster, you are still trying to make it up, it is really not an ordinary person." Peng Yubo said worriedly: "But I am determined to be in the rivers and lakes, how can I give up easily? If Ye Yun doesn't think that my sword power is low, and accepts me as an apprentice, I have good roots since I was a child, and I am often faster than others in learning martial arts, and I will definitely be able to learn superior swordsmanship in a short period of time, and contribute to resisting the imperial army." Ye Qiu said: "If you are in the past without waves, I will not hesitate to find a way for you, but now is different from the past, Peng Gongzi, you will die of this heart." ”

After saying that, he walked away, Peng Yubo called to stay to no avail, so he had to face Limu gloomily.

Mrs. Peng Huai Peng returned to her house, Peng Yulan walked along the corridor, Xu Qing returned to her house, and Peng Yushan also paced at will, admiring the willows and flowers in these courtyards, and unconsciously was already at the mouth of Xu Qing's house, and couldn't help but walk lightly.

Xu Qing returned to the house and lay down on the couch with sorrowful thoughts, his heart was full of thoughts, he sat up suddenly, and then paced around the room to take a closer look, and when he looked at the bookcase, he had the heart to read the book, and looked at the books displayed in the cabinet frame.

I recall that long before going up the mountain, when my father and mother were not dead, I entered the school every day to study, and the books in the middle of the collection have been turned over.

At that time, he was determined to go to the northern capital to catch the exam, fight for a world in order to serve the country in the future, and realize his ambition to show his ambition.

However, his father and mother died suddenly, so he couldn't study safely and seek promotion, because of the report of the man in black, Ye Yun was apprenticed under brain fever.

Half a year has passed since then, but my father and mother have not avenged their revenge, and I wanted to use the plan of living here to explore the news of Qingshui Town, but the head of the family did not allow it, so I had to stay here and have nothing to do.
