Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 43: Dangguan Inn
Although he knew that the bluestone bridge under his feet was extremely strong and had already experienced the test of a long time, when he was on it, the slightest coolness under the soles of his feet still involuntarily rushed into Mu Qing's heart.
The canyon is 100 zhang high, the cliff carved stone wall stands in the turbulent water mist, the stone bridge protrudes from both sides and flies to hang the cliff, the body is the cliff that stands thousands of miles on the wall, the foot is the golden wave of the torrent surging turbulently, the sunlight is sprinkled on the bridge, the water mist transpires and diffuses, such as climbing the moat such as crossing the fairy pass.
"This is Harukawa. ”
On the bluestone bridge, Liu Weirui and Mu Qing led the horse in parallel.
She earnestly introduced the scenery of her hometown: "The turquoise, the sky blue, and the pan-golden waves are all it," the wave makes the daylight turn up the building, and the window contains smoke and floats into the air. I remember that there was an inn in the town called 'Dangguan' on the second floor, and there was such a sentence by the window. ”
Mu Qing looked down at the dense golden waves, and said in surprise, "Is it the reason for the sunlight? I have never seen such a pure color." ”
The corners of Liu Weirui's ruddy mouth curled, and she looked at Qingchuan at her feet and recalled: "I remember when I was a child, I followed my father to go out for the first time, and when I passed through Qingchuan, I waited for it to turn golden before putting it in a water bladder, thinking that it was all gold to buy a lot of snacks, but as soon as the water left Qingchuan, it changed back to its original transparent color." ”
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Could it be that the water bladder is cut off from the daylight, as long as it is still in the daylight, it will turn golden?"
Liu Weirui shook her head and said, "No, later I poured the water in the water bladder on the side of the river, and its color still didn't change back, which is quite strange." ”
"yes. I remember what Miss said!"
Xiao Chan, who was just a few steps behind the two of them, said with a smile: "At that time, Miss and I sneaked out, Mu Qing Gongzi, you would never have thought of what happened later." ”
Mu Qing liked this kind of chatter between friends very much, and asked with a smile: "Is it that as long as the sunlight shines for a long time, the water changes color again." ”
"No!" Xiaochan looked at her young lady and didn't stop herself, so she continued: "Miss actually had a nosebleed after playing with water, and after washing it with water, the blood turned into a different color. ”
"What color?" Mu Qing asked in surprise.
"A cyan color that is intermediate with glass and amber. Liu Weirui didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and guessed: "Maybe as long as it is mixed with blood, it will appear that color." ”
After a while, when everyone stepped on the cliff pass here, the town of Qingchuan Pass, which was directly named after "Qingchuan Pass", was already in sight.
At this time, in the lobby of the Dangguan Inn, Zhang Zizhen and Zhang Zishan brothers also waited for their Qingming apricot blossom roast.
"Beep-ah-"
"This wine tastes good!" Zhang Zishan sighed.
On the night when Liu Chaoge dealt with family affairs, he threw Liu Zhaolang into the execution ground like a chicken for the other party.
After the matter was over, he rushed here again without stopping.
After drinking another glass of soju, he sighed: "Damn, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up these days, but I'm in a hurry at night, let alone drinking!"
He looked around and found that there were no eye-catching characters, and asked straight to the point: "I said big brother, don't you miss them by accident with Miss, I thought you had already taken them." ”
Zhang Zizhen said helplessly: "I first searched for more than 100 kilometers along the trade road in Youzhou, and after I didn't meet it, I retreated and waited here, after all, this is their only way." ”
Zhang Zishan exclaimed: "Could it be that something happened to them, Miss, it's terrible!"
"Wait a few more days!" Zhang Zizhen drank all the wine in the cup, "If you can't wait for Miss and them, our brothers will follow them down, and if something really happens, we will have to avenge Miss and them before we dare to go back." ”
The housemother only brought two of them, which is also a performance of valuing herself, if the brothers mess things up, it's really not good to go back to see the housemother with a shy face.
"Hmph!" Zhang Zishan's black face darkened, "If something really happens, our brother must twist the culprit's head off before he is punished." ”
The two brothers used to be the leaders of a big mountain in the territory of Xishan, if they hadn't offended a ruthless person who couldn't be provoked, they would not have fallen into the disadvantage of the ordinary second grade with the combined attack techniques of the two brothers.
When the two brothers took refuge in the Lin family, the most powerful family in Xishan, they really knew what a behemoth was, and the ruthless man did not continue to chase and kill the two brothers, because they were naturally extremely attentive to the fact that the two brothers could be used for the master's secret trip.
"Eh, big brother, look!" Zhang Zishan quickly ran to the position of Butcher Hu and lay down in front of the window.
Ignoring what he seemed to have knocked down, he shouted happily, "I don't know if this caravan is Miss them." ”
Zhang Zizhen stood on tiptoe behind him and saw the situation outside the window, his thick brows were furrowed together, and he said helplessly: "Damn, Lao Tzu has never seen Miss herself, and he just brought a token with him when he left." ”
"Well, it doesn't matter. Zhang Zizhen patted his younger brother, "Let's go to the Honglu Inn in the town first and wait, I have inquired about that place before, caravans of hundreds of people generally choose their home, although the location of this Dangguan Inn is good, but the space is too small, caravans generally do not come here." ”
He turned around after being happy, only to find that the butcher beside him had been focusing on the two brothers, and he was suspicious.
Zhang Zishan glared and asked, "What do you see us doing?"
Butcher Hu looked calm, pointed to the wine jug lying on the table and the wine spilled on the table, and said coldly: "You spilled my wine." ”
"Hmph!" Zhang Zishan's mountain bandit habits were about to be revealed, but he was stopped by his eldest brother Zhang Zizhen's rude behavior.
I saw him call the shopkeeper over, took out a silver ingot of fifty taels and threw it to the other party, "Serve this eldest brother two good dishes, and two pots of the same good wine, and the rest of the money is still in the account, maybe we will come here for dinner in the evening." ”
"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Zhang Zishan looked angry.
Zhang Zizhen directly patted his younger brother on the head, "You are stupid, can't you tell what is the right thing?"
"Picking up Miss Liu is what we should do now!"
After Zhang Zizhen apologized to Butcher Hu, he ran out with his younger brother without saying a word.
"Why are you stunned? Why don't you give me more good wine and food, this is fifty taels of silver." ”
Butcher Hu listened to the words of the two brothers throughout the whole process, and laughed softly at the shopkeeper who rolled his eyes.
After receiving the letter a few days ago, he would wait here every day at noon, but he was not waiting for Liu Weirui and them.
The person he was waiting for had already arrived, and what he was waiting for hadn't happened yet.
The man on the second floor above must have heard what was happening beneath his feet.
Touching the wine on the table with his thick fingers, which had been slaughtering flesh all year round, Butcher Hu put it under his nose and sniffed it, and the sweet aroma of the wine seemed to be stained with the smell of blood.
"It's getting interesting, maybe you don't have to do it yourself. He thought to himself.
The words "Miss Liu" were heard in my ears, and Yuejiu, who was drinking upstairs, finally stopped.
He looked at the caravan getting closer and closer to the town, and couldn't help but squint drunkenly.
He arrived here before anyone else, a decade ago.
Looking at the "prey" gradually approaching, his heart is actually not calm now, because he has not killed anyone for a long time.
I still remember that a few years ago, when he was a fledgling from the Hidden Valley, the first time he accepted the mission, he simply plunged his sword into the heart of the target.
At that time, he was chic and cold to the extreme, and the whole person's state of mind seemed to be extremely broad, and under the sword moves as quiet as moonlight, he killed anyone, men, women, old people, and children, until he met her.
It was the first time he missed, and she rescued a little girl from his men, and the other party just said lightly: "It's not as good as a beast." ”
Originally, he felt that he had already had a clear sword heart and a promising avenue, but for the first time, he was horrified to find that under the so-called state of mind of the vast sea and sky, it turned out to be a brilliant moonlight full of holes.
There is no doubt that he is a genius, and the way of the sword is constantly ruthlessly killing, without hindrance, whether it is right or wrong, he can make some progress.
But he is on the verge of extinction of humanity and has gone to an irreparable extreme.
At that time, he was extremely infatuated, and when the sword was drawn, there was still a trace of hot blood in the air.
Killing people seems to have become his instinct to live.
That is, when he raised his sword to kill a little girl like before, she rescued the girl and said, "It's better to be a beast." ”
He didn't expect that he couldn't beat a woman and lost to the other party.
After that, "Beasts are not as good" became his nightmare every night, and he began to think about the meaning of his existence while looking for the woman.
Then, among the lonely mountains and wild paths, the left forest, deliberately meet, blindly kill each other, reluctantly get acquainted, and finally, they think they love each other.
He, the way of the sword is in the way, and he doesn't dare to kill women and children anymore.
He had killed many people before, and she had saved many before, and he felt unworthy of the other party.
So he didn't think about cutting off his former self all the time, but the people he had killed in the past began to appear in his dreams every night, and outside the dream, in reality, the palm of the hidden valley had already been eyeing him.
The Hidden Valley Assassins were orphans, and Hidden Valley would not be at their deaths, so he buried his head in fear, bought a house with the money he had killed in the past, and indulged in redemption and fear all day long.
He found himself as if he had drowned a fish, and he was dying despite the fact that there was air all around him that he could breathe......
In the middle of the day, the indifferent and warm sunlight passed through the window, caressed his cheeks, and woke him up in a confused past.
Looking out the window again, his drunken eyes had awakened, and he seemed to see a glimmer of light to break free from the mire.
Although this time he will kill many people, including women. But if you can get out of the hidden valley and live again, it will all be worth it.
With a wave of his palm, the saber "Yuehua" lying quietly on the table flew directly into his hand.
He had already recognized the caravan, and in order for everything to run smoothly, he was not going to kill directly in the town, he was only going to kill the two men who had just gone out first.
The opponent's body style when he just went out didn't seem to be weak, and in Yuejiu's opinion, the opponent's strength was just enough to be used to reopen his "Yuehua".
......
"You take them to the Honglu Inn in the town and settle them first, and then come to the second floor of the Dangguan Inn to find us. ”
As soon as the caravan entered the town, it was divided into two groups.
After Liu Weirui finished explaining to Li Si, she turned around and smiled at the two behind her: "Dangguan Inn's unique apricot blossom sake, sweet and moisturizing lungs, I've been thinking about it for a long time, let's go." ”
