Afflicted Lady (1)

Sake is strong and not as light as sake. Zhang Shaoying opened the mud seal and poured a few mouthfuls on his back. I had never drunk such a strong drink on weekdays, and Zhang Shaoying was so anxious that Zhang Shaoying almost choked on it. He staggered to Xiaoxiang's tomb and leaned on the tombstone to pour stuffed wine. I thought in my heart, I am afraid that if I drink this jar of wine, I am afraid that I will be drunk to death. After drinking a jar of wine, Zhang Shaoying fell asleep dizzily again, and woke up again, but I don't know how many days it was. Zhang Shaoying only felt that her clothes were soaked and cold, so she had to jump into the bath and take a quick bath and change into clean clothes.

Unconsciously, Zhang Shaoying's stomach couldn't stop gurgling. He didn't know how many days he hadn't eaten. Fortunately, Zhang Shaoying has stored a lot of dry food in his own secret, and he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking in a short time.

Every grass and tree, mountain and water in the dense land has traces of two people playing. Zhang Shaoying went back and forth from the valley to the evening, walked down to the end of the river, and stared at the afterglow that was about to set in the distance. At the end is a waterfall nearly 100 feet high. The river was flowing slowly, but a huge rock collapsed from the mountain, and the fence was between the two mountains. The river was blocked and piled up, and it could only rush down the cracks under the boulders, forming a large waterfall outside. In the past, Zhang Shaoying and Xiaoxiang had an oath here. Zhang Shaoying once swore that she would not marry Xiaoxiang in this life, but Xiaoxiang refused. Today, Zhang Shaoying found out the reason why Xiaoxiang refused to accept it, and he was ashamed in his heart, and he even had the urge to fall from then on.

However, I remembered the skinny horses again. Whether they are doing well now, whether they will be bullied. Although Zhang Shaoying missed it very much in her heart, she was unwilling to leave. He still clearly remembers that he said that he would always accompany Xiaoxiang. The valley is still like spring, but the cold air is getting worse and worse.

This secret place was seen when Zhang Shaoying was thrown off a high cliff by Song Shouren and others, and flowed down the river. The new strange color in the valley, although Zhang Shaoying did not understand the meaning. But seeing the words engraved on the stone wall at the end, Zhang Shaoying also thought about this secret place, where a couple who loved each other very much once lived in seclusion. But in the valley of the place, although there are all kinds of household utensils. Zhang Shaoying and Xiaoxiang have been groping for a few days, but they have never seen any signs of people in the valley, so they must have died a long time ago.

Xiao Xiang saw the novelty of the valley and admired it very much when she first came. often looks forward to staying here with Zhang Shaoying, but the thin horse has no place to live, and the seclusion of the two has been delayed again and again, and they will regret it until the disaster comes.

Zhang Shaoying walked back and forth from the valley every day, constantly thinking nonsense. Sometimes he blames himself and cries, sometimes he runs wildly, and even stays in one place for a few hours, not knowing how time is changing. After more than half a month, Zhang Shaoying calmed down a little. On this day, Zhang Shaoying stood under the boulder at the mouth of the valley, looking up at the back wall of the sloping boulder. The stone wall is engraved with four seven-character poems. It is all men and women who depend on each other and grow old together. Previous sentence: In the depths of the clouds in the Water Moon Cave, the ends of the earth are full of smoke. The immortal Qitan clothes are exhausted, how can you see the red Wushan rain. The water is dark and blue, and the sword leads to the autumn and winter. The river is delicate and green, drunk and smiling at the red dust: Zhang Shaoying has asked several masters separately, and he already understands the meaning of the sentence. Remembering that he had asked about the immortal Qitan's clothes, the master suddenly shouted indecent, Zhang Shaoying couldn't help but have a rare smile.

On a quiet day, Zhang Shaoying accompanied Xiaoxiang's tomb every day to pour out her heart, but there was nothing else to do all day. The feeling of loneliness gradually came to his heart, and in a trance, Zhang Shaoying realized that he seemed to have not spoken to anyone else for many days. On this day, Zhang Shaoying leaned against Xiaoxiang's tomb and remembered the thin horses. The land of martial arts has always been envied and taboo by Zhang Shaoying, and thin horses and others are involved in it, but they don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing. However, all of this is because of Mu Qiubai. Unconsciously, Zhang Shaoying had slowly turned the deep self-blame in his heart into hatred for Mu Qiubai. Hatred is terrible, whether it is an ordinary man or an emperor or a general, everyone's hatred is different, and the hatred is the same. Zhang Shaoying didn't know that Huangfuxun and Mu Qiubai were not in the same group, and he didn't know much about what happened that night. There was only one thought in his heart, and it was all because of Mu Qiubai.

Every day, I occasionally think of the skinny horses and them, and the happy days when everyone is together, Zhang Shaoying gradually misses everyone more and more. The loneliness and loneliness in the valley made Shaoying sharply inclined to the thin horse their news. In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and Zhang Shaoying's loneliness from the valley became even stronger. It's just that Zhang Shaoying couldn't let go of Xiaoxiang in her heart, and after thinking about it for a few days, Zhang Shaoying finally decided to go out of the valley. Zhang Shaoying, he was unwilling. Heavy, big-headed, everyone's figure appeared in front of him. It's because he didn't protect everyone well, he can't let everyone die in vain, he wants revenge. Although Zhang Shaoying knew that he was not Mu Qiubai's opponent, he was unwilling to die in the valley like this. Standing in front of Xiaoxiang's tomb, Zhang Shaoying secretly swore that no matter whether he lived or died, he would come back once a year in the future. He also had to learn to write, because Xiaoxiang's inscription was still waiting for him to write.

Zhang Shaoying spent most of the day returning along the same road, dragging her tired body out of the Shiliu Cave and sleeping for most of the night, only then did she recover some of her spirits. Until dawn the next day, Zhang Shaoying wiped some sludge on his face and returned to Hushan Town. There was no one for many days, and Zhang Shaoying felt very comfortable. The streets are still as peaceful as usual, except for the lack of troublesome beggars. Zhang Shaoying walked into the end of the street, and there were already shops on the street that began to transport goods out of town. For some reason, Zhang Shaoying only felt that people passing by seemed to be quite concerned about him, no matter who he was, he would glance at him a few times. At this time, a strange scream was suddenly heard, and it turned out that a driver who was moving goods to the car seemed to be startled when he saw Zhang Shaoying. Zhang Shaoying looked at it, but that person was Ge Qing. After more than a month, the sting on Ge Qing's body seemed to have healed.

Zhang Shaoying was secretly screaming badly, I don't know if Ge Qing denied himself. saw that Ge Qing suddenly went crazy and rushed to the town. Zhang Shaoying was thinking about whether to dodge, and an old man with white hair and sideburns walked in front of him, but it was Mr. Zhang, who sold wine in the town. Although Mr. Zhang is over sixty years old, his body is healthy, and he often says that this is from drinking, so there is always a wine gourd hanging around his waist. Zhang Shaoying has always respected Master Zhang, and he learned to drink by Master Zhang, and the relationship between the two is quite harmonious on weekdays. Master Zhang stared at Zhang Shaoying tightly for a few moments, and asked lovingly, "Child, where are you from?"

Just as he was about to open his mouth to inquire, Master Zhang suddenly took Zhang Shaoying's hand and walked to the side, and asked: "Xiao Yinzi, where have you been these days? What about those children?" Speaking of the sadness in his heart, Zhang Shaoying said gloomily: "I was looking for them......" Master Zhang said regretfully: "You are not in these days, Song Pig's Head and they are in chaos again." If it were in the past, Zhang Shaoying would definitely bring people to the door to make trouble, splash feces, dig traps, and play scoundrels, and there seemed to be nothing he didn't dare to do. However, without Xiaoxiang and those friends he lost, there seems to be nothing he can miss in this town.

After a few words, Zhang Shaoying said goodbye to Master Zhang and went to the eighteen-mile slope outside the town. It was a big head, a heavy burial place, and Zhang Shaoying didn't know if those dead partners were buried. Thinking of the more than a month, if everyone did not settle in the ground, Zhang Shaoying's heart was even more sad and indignant. Eighteen Mile Slope is a gentle slope, and the place it crosses is not difficult to walk. There are traces of fire everywhere, and it is even more desolate in a place that is inaccessible. Zhang Shaoying searched for a long time, but did not see the slightest wreckage in the dry forest. When he was secretly hurting himself, Zhang Shaoying saw that there was a wide tomb on the top of the slope. Zhang Shaoying took a closer look and couldn't help but burst into tears. Originally, the middle line of the stele was engraved with several big characters of "Tomb of the Fifteen Scholars of Fox Mountain", and two lines of small characters were engraved on the left line, which were divided into: Liu Tianbo of the Wulin League stood firmly, and Mofeng of Xiaoyao City stood firmly.

Zhang Shaoying knelt down tremblingly, and was grateful to Liu Tianbo and Mo Feng in her heart. After this incident, Zhang Shaoying has matured a lot. Staring at the inscription, Zhang Shaoying's hatred rose, and the hatred for Mu Qiubai in his heart was full of emotion, but reason still told Zhang Shaoying that he was definitely not Mu Qiubai's opponent. Thinking of Liu Tianbo, Zhang Shaoying thought that if he wanted to worship him as a teacher, it would probably not be difficult. No matter how powerful Mu Qiubai is, he will practice for ten or twenty years, and Mu Qiubai will always get old one day, as long as he practices hard, are you afraid that he will not be able to take revenge? Zhang Shaoying wiped away his tears and said hatefully: "I will definitely avenge everyone." "Say it and kowtow again and again.

Zhang Shaoying wanted to go back to his residence to visit him, as well as his former buried partner, but he thought that Song Shouren hated him to the bone, and the house might have been destroyed. After resting for a while, Zhang Shaoying got up and walked towards the county seat.

Zhang Shaoying has never left since he came to Fox Mountain, and this trip is really the first time. The Wulin League is located in Jingzhao Mansion, although Zhang Shaoying knows where it is, but he still doesn't know where it is. He went to Lincun and ate some food, but fortunately, the silver and copper coins he had saved before were all there, and Zhang Shaoying was not short of entanglements. just remembered that everyone had saved it desperately, and Zhang Shaoying was really reluctant to spend it. He asked several big Han Wulin League about the whereabouts of the martial arts league from the road, but he was dressed like a beggar, and few pedestrians on the road looked at him, and they didn't even bother to take care of it. Zhang Shaoying only got the county seat to change into decent clothes, and he was distressed. In his life, he really had never worn such decent clothes. Zhang Shaoying paid attention to the pedestrians on the road and asked some businessmen more. Seeing that you are dressed decently, someone is naturally willing to show you the way. After asking about the way to Wulin League, Zhang Shaoying went north along Jingnan Road. Fox Mountain is located in the south of the Shenlong Clan's Great Mountain Range, and Zhang Shaoying went to the Wulin League, and he had to bypass the Shenlong Clan Mountain Range from the east.

Along the way, although Zhang Shaoying was carrying more than a dozen taels of silver, she was reluctant to spend it. Every day, he just ordered some simple meals, hot noodles, and even a sip of wine. I found a hidden place to spend the night at night, but fortunately, although the days were cold, I got used to it over the years. Zhang Shaoying stayed day and night, walked for more than ten days in a row, and was dressed in clean clothes, but it was already dark in a few days. Although Zhang Shaoying doesn't like to be clean, she hasn't bathed for several days, but she is also uncomfortable. In the past, Xiaoxiang stayed with her, and Zhang Shaoying washed her body every day before going to bed. The girls in the group fell ill one after another and left, Zhang Shaoying took a look and listened, and gradually understood some things about men and women. Although he and Xiaoxiang have never had sex, they are skin-to-skin on weekdays, and the desire for mouth and hand is inevitable. However, he was young and ignorant, and he had heard that the things of men and women can also make women sick, so Zhang Shaoying developed such a habit. I don't know that although this is the case, I still can't keep the little fragrance.

Secretly washing in the icy river water, Zhang Shaoying trembled, and put on his clothes with his front teeth tight. Along the way, Zhang Shaoying saw a lot of begging. He was born as a beggar since he was a child, and he is very kind to his kind. However, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he also knew that it was not within his power. Every time he saw someone, he felt guilty and walked away, not daring to look again. He didn't dare to take the money out, he knew that if he gave one, he would give the second, and the third, until he had all the money on him. Early that morning, he walked to a town. It's not a big town, but there are a lot of people coming and going on the streets. Zhang Shaoying was thinking about what to eat, when she saw a thatched breakfast shop on the side of the street, so she went in. The hut was very rudimentary, but the inside of it was very clean. There are only seven tables of eight immortals, and there is only one table of guests. A guy was sitting by the stove and resting, and when he saw Zhang Shaoying coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him. Behind the corner of the shed, a moving clay squat stove was parked, and a strong man in cloth in his thirties was in charge, and behind the stove, a teenager was adding fire to the stove. Zhang Shaoying looked at it, picked a table next to the corner, sat down, and ordered a bowl of porridge and pickles. He glanced sideways at a man and a woman at the table next to him, sitting opposite each other. Behind the woman stood two young maids, who looked like rich ladies. The man was an old man, more than fifty years old, with gray sideburns, yellow skin and thin skin, and a black robe. The rich lady wears a hood and can't see clearly. The two were talking, clearing the porridge in the morning, but they didn't move. Seeing someone sitting at the table next to him, the old man at the table couldn't help frowning, and when he saw a fresh face coming in, the young lady's face was even more blushing in the hat, and he didn't dare to look at each other.

The old man obviously held his own identity, and although he didn't like it, he didn't say anything, and he talked to the young lady again. Although Zhang Shaoying looked at the four eyes on her face, she smelled the fragrance of the woman, and couldn't help but listen curiously. After listening to a few sentences, Zhang Shaoying understood a rough idea.

It turned out that a fortune teller was explaining numerology to the young lady. Zhang Shaoying has seen a lot of this kind of thing on weekdays, but it is nothing more than deceiving honest people. In the past, I saw that most of the people who were in the hexagram were Taoist priests, and they were so plain and disrespectful. I only heard the gentleman say: "Miss, please forgive the old man for speaking bluntly. Look at the overlapping peach blossoms in your hits, the husband star is too weak, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he must be arrogant. It's just that the fate of marriage is ethereal, and the blessing of the husband star is weak, and it is difficult to master, and it is always difficult to come to an end. Maybe your marriage today is in this few people, and you can't rush through this vast sea of people. ”

When the young lady heard this, her delicate body trembled, and she didn't feel gloomy. Since the day before yesterday, I heard my friend talk about a person who is easy to learn divine arithmetic, comparable to the Oriental arithmetic in the Han Dynasty. The girl had insight in her heart and asked to see the teaching of marriage. Since ancient times, marriage matters have only been based on the words of parents, and there is no autonomy between children. If she invites people to her home, her family will definitely not allow her, so she can only take the opportunity to enter the temple to offer incense and go out to seek marriage. If she had this fate, she would have no choice but to accept it. I just got a sign from the nearby Lishan Temple, but it was a sign, and the temple hated and married the words were also illusory. Hearing the same words at this moment, the girl's heart was really sad, her heart was sour, and her tears couldn't stop rolling.

The two maids behind her saw that the young lady's body was trembling, obviously sad and sad. The maid on the left walked forward and persuaded: "Miss, the matter of Yi Gu is illusory, there is no need to be so sad. The young lady was sad, but after listening to the persuasion, her mood was even heavier, and she was already in tears.

Although the gentleman couldn't see the young lady's appearance clearly, his eyes turned around twice. said: "Miss don't have to be so sad, numerology cause and effect are not necessarily about personnel, and your fortune is not unchangeable." If you cling to it with its fate, it is not impossible to break it if you can. When the young lady heard this, she first looked forward to it. I heard the second half of the sentence, but I was at a loss for a while. Mr. means that she disobeys her parents' matchmakers. She has been polite since she was a child, and she has never thought of such a rebellious idea. At this time, when I heard Mr. say this, I was really instigated, and I didn't dare to think about it again.

"Old man, is your numerology accurate? Behold, if you don't have the same divination things, how can you make people believe them? But it was Zhang Shaoying who heard the fortune teller's reckless words and provoked his feet. Zhang Shaoying is young and vigorous, and at this time, he can only take out his anger and relieve the depression in his heart for several days. Mr. was already displeased with Zhang Shaoying, and at this time he saw that he was troublesome. He hummed, "Little child, what do you know?" Let's go quickly after eating. "Zhang Shaoying is the most taboo for others to call themselves children. Although he was angry in his heart, he also said: "If you know how to calculate, how about calculating a hexagram for me?" Mr. smiled and said: "Then you have to prepare a gold ingot or two, and the old man will not make a loss-making transaction." Although he made coppery words when he spoke, his words and expressions were extremely elegant, so that when people saw it, they felt that he regarded money as dung, but he was just looking at Zhang Shaoying's young age and amusing and making fun of him. Zhang Shaoying only said that he was a liar, and when he saw such a look, he was angry and angry in his heart, but he couldn't bear it. Leave the table and sit down at the gentleman's table. Zhang Shaoying never thought of paying, so he complacently agreed: "I have the money, if you can't calculate it, then what do you say?" Mr. smiled and said: "What do you want?" Zhang Shaoying was stunned, he really hadn't thought about what he wanted. At this time, the young lady got up and saluted the gentleman, and said in a soft voice: "The gentleman is busy, and the slave family does not dare to bother, so I will leave." With that, he turned and walked quickly. Obviously, he couldn't bear to be at the same table with a strange man, which led to misunderstanding. The gentleman hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said, "Miss, let's go." Then he sat down again.

After this pour, Zhang Shaoying has already thought of a countermeasure. Think about how capable he is of a bad old man. Zhang Shaoying said: "Okay! If you lose, you will eat ten bowls of porridge in a row, and you are not allowed to pause in between. When the gentleman heard this, he burst out laughing, apparently finding it very amused. Don't you know that although Zhang Shaoying's trick is naΓ―ve, it is extremely practical. Once the loser loses, ten bowls of porridge can really kill people. The gentleman said, "Okay, if you lose, you will be a servant for me for seven days." Zhang Shaoying never thought that this matter could be done, and promised: "Okay, if you say it, you can't regret it." Mr. said: "Then what do you want to measure?" Zhang Shaoying said: "You are so powerful, how about I want to measure something with a hexagram?" Mr. didn't think about it and said: "Okay, how about you write a word?" Zhang Shaoying dipped her index finger in some soup and wrote a deception on the table. Mr. didn't care, sighed: "This word is not true, this word is not true!" Zhang Shaoying said: "Can you guess what I want to guess?" Mr. said: "The left part of the deception word is a horse, although Your Excellency did not ride a horse, but when you go to the Northland, there is no horse to move slowly, and you can't know if you are looking for someone!" Zhang Shaoying was startled and asked: "What about the right part?" Mr. shook his head and said: "The right part is lower, but it is a flat word." The flat word is wood, and it is held with weapons. Although you are not worried about your life, it is only a thrilling trip. Zhang Shaoying countered: "The method of measuring words is to disassemble the words, can't they be combined into one?" Mr. said: "Measuring words with words, splitting words is intentional, and words are not meaningful, do you understand?" Although he was guessed, Zhang Shaoying refused to admit defeat. But I feel that this method is really ridiculous. He wanted his husband to guess what he was going to do, but he really let him guess it. Dissatisfied: "I don't understand, I'm going to go to relatives, I can't find someone, you lost." ”

Mr. smiled: "This seems to be more unfair, if I guess correctly, and you don't admit it, how can I win you?" Zhang Shaoying's young heart, for fear that the gentleman would stop with this words. said: "Then what do you say?" Mr. said: "You and I each write a word on the table, so that no one can see it, and then guess how together?" Zhang Shaoying said: "Okay"

Making up her mind in her heart, Zhang Shaoying leaned over to cover her surroundings and wrote a word on the table with her hands in her hands. The gentleman also covered himself with his sleeve robe, and wrote a word on his desk. Zhang Shaoying expected that he would not be able to guess what the other party wrote, so he wrote a word randomly. The crooked words seem to be non-words, and even he himself doesn't know what the words are. The two glanced at each other, and Mr. smiled and said, "You guess first?" Zhang Shaoying was willing to do so, and said: "You are full of poetry and books, so naturally you came first." The gentleman did not shirk it, and said, "The words you have written are very difficult to read." How about I write it?" Zhang Shaoying smiled secretly, even if you are a Daluo Immortal, it will be difficult to write. He paused, "That's fine!" I saw that the gentleman stretched out his right hand and dipped it in some soup, and his left arm was still covering the words he had just written, and he wrote crookedly. When Zhang Shaoying saw it, his heart sank. It turned out that the words written by Mr. were the same as those written by Zhang Shaoying. It's just that the font is strong and quite energetic. Although it is a word, it is much more handsome than what Zhang Shaoying wrote.

The gentleman seemed to have expected him to look like this, and he was not angry, and said, "Then how about you write another word?" Zhang Shaoyington wrote another word, this time he covered his body with clothes, and even he didn't know what words he wrote. Looking at the gentleman again, he was just smiling and confident. Zhang Shaoying asked, "Can you write it again?" Without hesitation, the gentleman wrote another word on the table. This word is tangible, but it is a poly word. When Zhang Shaoying saw it, he raised the corner of his sleeve and was stunned at the sight. My heart is like seven or eight buckets, and I am already a little panicked. It turned out that although the strokes of the character he wrote were complicated and not in the shape of a word, it was vaguely a polyglyph.

The gentleman smiled and asked, "What? Yes or no?" Although Zhang Shaoying was timid, he was extremely unconvinced, and what he wanted in his heart was to find out why the gentleman wrote his words so accurately. wrote more than seven words in a row, and the gentleman followed the form with the form, and it was exactly the same. Zhang Shaoying sat down suddenly, and it was only at this time that he suddenly woke up and realized that he had met a master. It's just that Zhang Shaoying saw that Mr. was sanctimonious, and he had a bad impression in his heart, and his disgust was undiminished. His mind was spinning so fast that when he saw this, he was immediately thinking about how to escape.

At this time, the gentleman smiled and asked, "What? Should you guess?" Zhang Shaoying said: "Okay, guess, guess! You can see it......" After that, Zhang Shaoying wanted to write on the table. Suddenly, Zhang Shaoying turned around and ran away. That knew that Zhang Shaoying ran a few steps in a row, but his body didn't move at all. He looked back and saw that the gentleman had reached out and grabbed his belt. Before Zhang Shaoying could react, the gentleman's right hand flipped over, grabbed Zhang Shaoying's right hand, and when he pulled it, Zhang Shaoying couldn't hold it anymore, and with a scream, he leaned back and fell on the table. The gentleman's palm was wide and thin, and his strength was amazing, Zhang Shaoying struggled several times, and his wrist was in severe pain. I heard the gentleman laugh and say, "If you lose, you won't admit it!" You will be a servant for me for seven days." As soon as the gentleman finished speaking, a burst of white mist came in front of him, and his eyes were blurred. The smell of grains in my nose turned out to be flour.

Zhang Shaoying struck a blow, picked up the porridge on the table and smashed it on the gentleman's arm. The gentleman was drenched with cold porridge, and the strength in his hand was suddenly relaxed. Zhang Shaoying desperately broke free, finally disassembled himself, and ran away. Zhang Shaoying was extremely jealous of the people in the rivers and lakes, and ran desperately at the moment, just afraid that Mr. would chase after him. ran straight out of the town, Zhang Shaoying ran into a dead forest on the side of the road, and then lay down tiredly and gasped for breath. After resting for about half an hour, Zhang Shaoying got up. I felt that my body was hollowed out, and I walked up and down, and my stomach couldn't stop gurgling. Zhang Shaoying then remembered that he had ordered a bowl of porridge but never moved it. Zhang Shaoying in the city didn't dare to go back, so he had to go forward hungry at the moment. Fortunately, over the years, Zhang Shaoying has been hungry, and although her stomach can't stop rattling, she still has the strength to move forward slowly. After two hours, Zhang Shaoying walked to a small village, and it was almost noon. The small village was built on the hill and had only a dozen families. Zhang Shaoying was already hungry and thirsty, so she had to find a family to fill her stomach and give some money at that time. He unconsciously touched his right hand into his arms, and his heart trembled when he touched it. In addition to a dozen taels of silver in his bosom, there were two packets of flour. At this time, when I touched it, my arms were empty. searched all over the body one after another, Zhang Shaoying didn't see where the silver was. Before I remembered entering the noodle shop, everything was there. Of all the men, only the gentleman had touched his body when he bound himself. Could it be that the gentleman stole his own silver? Zhang Shaoying was angry in his heart, but he was also depressed. The other party can take away what is on his body between touches, and his martial arts are not weak. He is alone, and he doesn't know martial arts at all, and he is an opponent there. As he pondered, he remembered that all the money was lost, and the road ahead was difficult, all because of his own meddling. I can't help but feel remorseful in my heart, and I can't control myself.

These silver pieces are all accumulated by Zhang Shaoying and his partners in the past three years, and Zhang Shaoying is reluctant to spend them on the way, and he doesn't want to lose it at this time. Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoying's body couldn't help trembling, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out aggrievedly. On weekdays in Fox Mountain, Zhang Shaoying is proud and doesn't take anyone in his eyes. It's just that after the curtain Qiubai, Zhang Shaoying's sharpness has already been subdued a lot, and he no longer dares to be as arrogant as usual.

Suddenly penniless, Zhang Shaoying's heart suddenly lost his backbone. Walking through the village entrance blankly, Zhang Shaoying walked to a big river crossing. The port was not large, and there were only three small boats parked on the ferry, and all three boatmen were sleeping on the bow of the boats with their hats on their backs to keep warm. Zhang Shaoying knew that he was penniless, and the shipowner decided not to make a loss-making deal. In the middle of nowhere, two people walked by Zhang Shaoying's side. Zhang Shaoying looked sideways, and it turned out to be two Confucian sons. The two of them were still in their thirties, and their faces were very handsome and white, and they were quite literate. The two are large and close in stature. The difference is that one person has a good face, and another person has a cold face. The two of them walked towards a boat, only to see the good-faced boy on the left waved to the boatman, and said, "The boatman, is it possible to take us across the river?" The boatman was not asleep, and a guest greeted him with a smile. Fortunately, there were rules on this ferry, and there was no way to rob passengers, and the other two boatmen just glanced at the two of them and went to sleep again.

The boatman said modestly: "That villain, this broken boat, is going to wronged the two sons." "The boatman was forty years old, coarse in his clothes, and in good health, and had been ferrying on this ferry for many years. The two sons said politely, "There is a labor boat family." With that, he got on the boat. Zhang Shaoying was about to turn around and find another way out, but saw a sedan chair coming to the ferry again. Four sedan chair bearers came slowly with a sedan chair, followed by two maids. Zhang Shaoying couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it. He had some impressions of the two maids, vaguely the two maids of the young lady in the shop. Sure enough, when the sedan chair arrived at the ferry, the maid lifted the curtain and helped out a young lady, who was the young lady in the noodle restaurant. The young lady obviously also saw Zhang Shaoying, and her forehead blushed with shame. Zhang Shaoying couldn't help but be stupid for a while, but saw that the young lady was very delicate, with a melon seed face and snow on her skin. is reserved and polite, Chu Chu is lovely, and a first-color corset cotton robe is even more gorgeous. He stared at the young lady tightly, as if he wanted to see the young lady to his heart's content. Seeing Zhang Shaoying's gaze, the two maids glared at him. The busy lady put on a hat, paid the sedan chair man, and the three girls got into another boat. At this time, the remaining boatman saw Zhang Shaoying and called, "That little brother, do you want to cross the river? There is a family here, please come over with us!" The boatman got up and came to call Zhang Shaoying. Zhang Shaoying saw that the boat family was about thirty years old, fat, dressed in light gray linen, with dark skin and a peaceful face. Zhang Shaoying hesitated for a while, and couldn't speak. When the boatman saw Zhang Shaoying like this, he suddenly understood. Although he saw that Zhang Shaoying was dressed a lot, he saw that he was disheveled and embarrassed, so he just thought he was a down-and-out son.

I only heard the boatman say, "Okay......! Today, let's make a loss-making transaction. Come on, come on, little brother get on board. I'll take you across the river. Zhang Shaoying heard that the boatman was like this, his heart warmed, and he hurriedly thanked him. Straight to the river, Zhang Shaoying sat on the bow of the boat silently, the boatman saw him like this, and asked, "Where is the son?" Zhang Shaoying was very grateful to the boatman, and when he asked, he replied: "I want to go to Jingzhao Mansion." The boatman said: "Jingzhao is still a few days away from here, and the son is penniless here, so how can he go." The three small boats went down the river in front of them, and the owner of the boat in front laughed loudly: "Lao Zheng! Lao Zheng smiled: "What's the matter. Maybe we can catch up on the other side!" The ferry port is quite wide, with more than a dozen large and small river boats moored and many pedestrians gathered.

When Zhang Shaoying got off the boat, he wanted to ask the name of the boatman so that he could repay him in the future. The boatman laughed and said, "It's a trivial matter, why should the son be so worried, you should be careful all the way." When he spoke, a big man with a twist flower came over. Lao Zheng saw that there was business, so he hurriedly greeted. Zhang Shaoying was in a trance, and was not knowing where to go, but saw one of the young lady's maids coming over. I saw that the maid stretched out her hand and handed out a piece of silver, and the maid said, "My young lady has asked me to make some coils for you, you can take them." It turned out that the scene when Zhang Shaoying got on the boat was already in her heart. Since I saw Zhang Shaoying in the noodle shop, the young lady has been quite impressed by him. Although he was annoyed in his heart, he just heard that Zhang Shaoying had to travel a long way, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart. After some hesitation, when he went ashore, he saw Zhang Shaoying's trance. As soon as his heart moved, he asked the maid to send him some coils.

Zhang Shaoying's expedition, the maid had already stuffed the silver in his hand and turned around. Zhang Shaoying's heart moved, ran closer, and knelt down to Miss Xiang. The young lady was startled when she saw him approaching. She is a woman, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, and she can't help but be worried in her heart. But I heard Zhang Shaoying say: "Miss is very kind, I can't repay it, I will kowtow to you." With that, Zhang Shaoying knocked up. There were a lot of pedestrians on the ferry, and Zhang Shaoying's scene immediately attracted everyone's attention. The two maids had really never seen such a person kneeling like this, and they hurriedly persuaded him to get up in surprise. When Zhang Shaoying was excited, his chest was still rising and falling when he stood up.

"A man has gold under his knees, and he is not too ashamed to kneel like this. The one who spoke was the kind-faced one of the two sons who had just come with him. Although Zhang Shaoying did not resist the literati, he listened to him like this. His heart was raised, and he said angrily: "I knocked so much, where did I get the gold!" The good man was stunned, he really had never seen such an answer. Seeing that Zhang Shaoying was wearing a robe, he also had a bit of wealth, but he was so ignorant.

The young lady was already frightened and panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "Childe...... Why do you have to make such a big gift! You have to hurry, slave family...... Farewell. "The voice is tactful and deep, very gentle and beautiful. With that, the young lady hurried away. Zhang Shaoying's chaotic breath decreased slightly, and suddenly there were more ingots of silver in his hand, and he suddenly felt that the road ahead was worry-free, and he was very happy. In the past few days, he has rarely laughed, and he is even more concerned about his partners. The hatred he put aside for the time being, and he now needs the warmth of his loved ones.

At this time, the good man said to the cold boy, "There is a horse market ahead, let's buy two horses to travel." Zhang Shaoying trembled, and he had been on the road for several days, but he couldn't afford to buy a horse, but he had never thought of it. Even if I saw passers-by riding and driving, I didn't think about it. At this time, I heard others mention it, and looked at the ten taels of silver ingots in my hand, and I was overjoyed. Seeing that the two sons had already gone, Zhang Shaoying hurriedly followed. Walking on the official road, but a few miles to a county seat, called Fang County. This county is obviously very prosperous, and the city gate is full of peddlers and pawns, and business travelers are surging.

Fang County is a famous county since ancient times, many princes and nobles have moved to degrade officials here, the first five dynasties of the Zhou Dynasty Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun died here. I saw that there were many shops on the side of the street, and pedestrians were shuttling. Zhang Shaoying didn't know where Fang County was, but he saw that the people on the street were well-dressed and elegant, which was very different from the places he had seen in the past. Zhang Shaoying followed the two sons into an empty horse market, only to see three rows of long sheds lined up, and there were as many as 50 horses of each line. Outside the stable is a pasture, and many people are already driving their horses to try it out. Tea houses, restaurants and other resting places are also built around the grassland, which can be seen to be extremely prosperous. The horses in the barn are divided into three categories, namely the lower grade, the middle grade and the upper grade. Zhang Shaoying didn't know anything about horses, and when he looked left and right, he saw that every horse on the field was brown, yellow, black and white, and everyone was generally strong. Zhang Shaoying stared at the stable for a long time, and then looked at a white horse in the middle shed.

At this time, a seller came to greet him. A black-faced fat man in his forties came and saw Zhang Shaoying staring at the white horse. He beckoned, "This little brother, you can see this horse, why don't you try it?" Although Zhang Shaoying has never bought a horse, he thinks that he is just buying a horse for transportation, and he doesn't need to be so luxurious.

Zhang Shaoying asked, "Can this horse travel far?" The black-faced fat man sighed: "Look at what you said, which of the horses in this horse farm is not as good as traveling!." Zhang Shaoying asked, "Then how much does this horse cost?" The black-faced fat man said, "Don't worry, this horse is not expensive." It's just seventy runs! You ......" "Ah" Zhang Shaoying was startled, but it is so expensive for a medium-grade horse. Seventy taels of silver is enough for a lifetime of food and drink. Just as he was hesitating, the two Confucian boys each rode a black horse and approached, only to hear the good boy say: "The vision is good, this horse can form a line, but it is barely suitable." This shopkeeper, saddle this horse, and I will pay for the horse. As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot of ten taels from his bosom and threw it over. When the shopkeeper saw that the two men had made a generous move, he was overjoyed and hurriedly unsaddled his horse. Zhang Shaoying stood stunned, staring at the two sons and didn't know how to speak. I just feel that there are still many good people in this world, and it is never as sinister as the town says.

In just a moment, the shopkeeper had already brought the horses and whips to Zhang Shaoying's hands. But he took some broken silver and said to the good man, "This son, you can take the rest of the broken silver." The good man smiled slightly, and said, "That's it, you can take it." Zhang Shaoying was startled again, except for the saddle, there were more than twenty taels left. At this time, the good boy said to Zhang Shaoying: "Little brother, get on the horse! You and I are both going to Jingzhao Mansion, just on the same road." Zhang Shaoying was stunned and looked at the white horse. Suddenly I remembered that I had never ridden a horse before. But if you want to ride a horse, it's just up and down, even if you turn over on the horse, it's not wrong.

"This horse is too well-behaved to run fast. At this time, the cold boy who had not spoken all this time said. Mian Shan Gongzi smiled: "It's not to run for your life, how about a fast horse, you can walk, you can't change your thoughts about value." "Little brother, what's your name?" asked the good man. Zhang Shaoying responded: "Zhang Shaoying." The good man smiled and said, "Young hero, it's really worthy of the name!" Zhang Shaoying blushed when he heard this. I used to have a clear conscience when I talked about myself, but now it really makes people laugh out of their teeth. I remembered that I didn't know the names of the two. At the moment, he asked: "I don't know what to call the two benevolent dukes?" The good face said: "Don't dare to take the words of the benevolent duke, if you think you can, then call me Shengyuan eldest brother, this is my brother, the original second brother." Zhang Shaoying was busy learning to learn and said: "The original eldest brother, the original second brother, the younger brother is polite here." ”

The three of them left the horse market and walked onto Middle Street Avenue. But seeing a commotion on the street, the uniformed Xiangjun and Ma Jun hurried out of the city under the leadership of the deputy soldier and horse envoy, under the banner of Fangzhou Xiangjun surnamed Xu. The three of them were surprised, only to hear the eldest brother Yuan say: "I heard that this is the most elite cavalry of the van army in Fangzhou...... but the second brother Yuan said: "It's just to maintain the place, it's far worse than the forbidden army." When the horse army was gone, the three of them rushed out of the city. On the way, there were cavalry of the two capital armies hurrying by, and passers-by dodged one after another, not daring to provoke. The Xiang army of the Song Dynasty was one level lower than that of the forbidden army, but the two were reduced by each other, but it had become a fixed number.
