"The spring is dry, the fish are on land,"

"Wet with each other, wet with foam,"

"It's better to forget about each other. ”

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period,

Zhuangzi said.

"Jianghu" literally means vast rivers and lakes; if the two words are completely disassembled, they can also refer to the three rivers and five lakes on the map, but it seems that when the old man of Zhuangzi wrote down this word, there are many more flavors, and there is a great self in it, and the charm is full of taste.

The word "rivers and lakes",

If you use a few short sentences in the north in the previous life, you can encapsulate all the essence.

"It's got an inside taste. ”

The young man thought about it and couldn't help but whisper,

Then he laughed dumbly.

"Beyond the temple are rivers and lakes,"

"Among the rivers and lakes are big fish and small shrimp. ”

"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp. ”

"Where there are rivers and lakes, there are people, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. ”

The young man stepped out of the vermilion palace wall, looked at the prosperous scene in the capital, and muttered softly to the crowd passing through: "After all, the rivers and lakes are an interesting place." ”

"No matter how far away the rivers and lakes of Old Man Jin are, there is a temple,"

"No matter how high the temple of the ancient old man is, it is a river and lake,"

"But right now, the rivers and lakes are still outside the court after all,"

"It's more like the rivers and lakes written by the old man Gu Long. ”

The young man said the inexplicable words that the people of this world couldn't understand, and finally smiled abruptly, his body shook slightly, and the sword on his waist also swayed, and after the words fell, there was an extremely subtle sound in the darkness.

"Mr. Thirteen, are you here?"

The young man shook his head and put aside these complicated thoughts, and said to the boundless night, and the sound he had just made thought was also Yan Shisan, who had been by his side.

"In!"

I don't know when Yan Shisan, who was black from head to toe, walked out of the shadows, still thinking about what the young man said before, and he originally came from the rivers and lakes.

"I don't know what rivers and lakes are in Mr. Thirteen's heart?"

The young man smiled with a smile in his eyes.

In my impression, Mr. Jin's rivers and lakes are more magnificent, with desert smoke, spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, mountains and rivers, rivers and lakes, and Yanmen Pass in Dali's Western Xia, these are all rivers and lakes in his pen.

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. ”

In one sentence, he fulfilled the general meaning of the family and the country,

Those people want to change the world,

In contrast, the young man always felt that the rivers and lakes of the old man Gulong were more pure, fighting the sword world, coming and going, happy and enmity, swords and swords, drinking and singing, prodigal beauty,

With an endless romantic freehand,

There are also endless upheavals.

It's like being in the rivers and lakes,

I met a lot of interesting people and bumped into a lot of interesting things.

The story that I wrote casually with the strength of the wine,

And there is no doubt that

Yan 13 is a person with a story,

"Jianghu?"

Yan Thirteen was a little hesitant to be a little rare,

These two words have some different meanings to him.

"Mr. Thirteen is not in a hurry, you can think slowly. ”

The young man looked at Yan Shisan in front of him, and remembered that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow, the two swordsmen who were the first to accompany him, were all characters written by the old man Gulong, and they all had their own stories, and they had been recuperating for a long time since Liangzhou was injured.

"Does Mr. Thirteen know where there is a tavern in the city?"

The young man seemed to remember something and turned around and asked, if you want to know the current pattern of the rivers and lakes, you only need to give an order, and the Liangzhou Espionage Department will naturally take out a thick pile of documents, which are extremely detailed and even can't say that they still remember the pickled things of the Taoist and the teacher.

But now I feel more like going to see this river and lake in person, not from a high place, but from a low place to look up, so the tavern in my mouth is naturally not a place where there are beautiful women to accompany you in the land of fireworks and willow lanes, but a place where you eat meat, drink in a big bowl, brag loudly, and fart to collapse the stool to the point where you are missing a corner.

And Yan Shisan, according to the trajectory of this world, was born in the rivers and lakes, and has been a doorman in his own mansion for so many years, so he wants to know something about these places in the city.

"Chengdong, Chunfeng Fang, a lot!"

Yan Thirteen is not hesitating now,

Directly, he pointed in the direction of the east of Shangjing City and said.

"Let's go. ”

"To the east of the city?"

"Go drink!"

"Good!"

Yan Shisan agreed very simply,

The young man was slightly surprised, but he was quickly relieved,

When you don't practice swords,

He loves to drink,

"When the wine is drunk at its strongest, there is no trace of alcohol, and the wine is meaningless. ”

A long time ago, Yan Shisan said,

But in the end, he still likes to drink,

Speaking of which,

The protagonist in Old Man Gu Long's pen doesn't like to drink?

If there is no wine in the rivers and lakes, is it still the rivers and lakes?

Chunfeng Fang,

The old wooden plaque stands at the mouth of the fang, and there are a lot of cracks in the near close, and people of all colors are shuttling in the streets and alleys of the fang, one hundred and eight squares in the capital, there are only two places where the curfew can not be controlled or is not willing to be managed, the Pingkang Fang of the fireworks willow lane is sold in the gold cave, and in addition to it is the spring breeze square in front of the fish and eyes.

Speaking of the giant city under the world,

You can't all be like Yong'an City and make dolls with nothing to do, right?

The young man changed into a dark cloth dress often worn by the children of the rivers and lakes, his long hair was tied back of his head, and the gourd on his waist swayed, looking around still like a fledgling ranger who wanted to fight the sword world.

The black and gold python robe can be better integrated when it is taken off, after all, it is dozens of miles away, such a big scene, and there are only a few people who can get close to see the young man's face.

"A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, and ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes. ”

A clear voice sounded in the streets,

The young man looked at the three big characters on the mottled plaque and smiled.

There are women in strong suits who frequently look sideways, there are who are female shopkeepers with charming eyes, and there are women who ride high-headed horses with a glimpse of shock, and the young man's handsome appearance can't help but provoke those girls in the market to take a few more looks.

Occasionally, people who know each other also walk away silently, after all, they have already covered up their identities, if they break it, wouldn't it be plain to make people angry, and people who run the rivers and lakes still have this bit of eyesight.

West Exit,

The wooden plaque had been gnawed by moths and had countless holes, the doorway was crowded into a damp alley, and there were still a few drunks swearing and swearing out of the alley, full of the smell of inferior alcohol.

Yan 13 stopped in front of the alley,

Several drunks bumped into Yan Shisan head-on, and they were just about to scold their mother, but after looking up at the indifferent eyes, they subconsciously snorted, and after being helped up by their companions, they left with a roll.

"Used to come often?"

The young man looked at Yan Shisan, who was slightly stunned, and asked.

"I didn't have any money in my pocket before. ”

"The drinks are cheaper. ”

Yan Shisan's sword is used to kill people, but they rarely kill people for silver, they have beliefs that ordinary people seem to be very incomprehensible, so many times there are many swordsmen in the rivers and lakes who seem to be very strong, and they may not be able to take out two taels of silver in their pockets.

"The shopkeeper of this shop is from the Western Regions. ”

"It is better to drink wine in a bowl than in a cup. ”

Yan Thirteen explained a few words rarely,

Passing through the cramped and damp alley is the side door of the tavern, pushing the door into the hot scene, the lobby is not big, but there are a lot of people, the boxing of the boxing, the shaking of the dice, the Kan Dashan of Kan Dashan, under the anesthesia of alcohol, those five big and three thick men here are full of their excessive energy.

"Little Er, serve the wine!"

The young man picked a corner and sat down and said in a loud voice.

This is the fucking rivers and lakes!

"Gotcha......"

"Two jars of fine plum wine!"

Xiao Er, who ran the hall, shouted loudly, and then neatly ripped off the towel on his shoulder and wiped the table hard, and after a few copper plates swayed and fell on the table, he smiled and smiled.

"Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll bring you wine!"

"Come on, the best plum wine!"

The shopkeeper came up with a jar of wine in one hand, patted the mud, Yan Shisan poured it very boldly, and a bad taste entered his throat.

Yan Thirteen smiled unexpectedly,

Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste,

Where does this kind of small shop get good wine?

"Guest officer, what else do you command? ”

Xiao Er did not leave but waited diligently aside, in the end, there are not many copper plates, and there are too few people to reward, so it is precious.

The young man paused,

Suddenly I thought of something,

"If anything,"

"Add two catties of beef in sauce. ”

"This ......"

The young man learned the tone of the Liangshan hero in his memory, and when he heard the voice, Xiao Er was stunned and then looked embarrassed, you must know that beef needs to be reported by the official uniform, and ordinary people who want to eat beef can only taste it after the cow dies and the official uniform sends someone to inspect it.

"Just kidding, let's go down. ”

The young man waved his hand, and several copper plates were thrown out of the cuffs, and the latter was put into his pocket without a trace, and left with the tray.

Turning his head to look at Yan Shisan, who was beside him, half a jar of wine had been poured into his stomach, one foot was on the wooden bench, half of his body was leaning against the wall, he didn't mean to clink glasses, he just drank alone, but there was an indescribable freedom when he looked up and his Adam's apple was sensational.

"Big, big, big!"

"Hahaha, give money, give money!"

A laugh rang out in the distance,

After losing the money, he cursed and continued to bet, and the winning man wiped his hand on the coarse cloth clothes on his chest, waved his hand and continued to kill in all directions in the field.

"Five Leaders!"

"Six-six-shun!"

"Hahaha, if you lose, give it to Lao Tzu!"

On the other side, a group of men were swinging and drinking, and many of them were so drunk that they were paralyzed under the table, but they still continued to swing their fists with scolding.

"Mr. Thirteen seems to be out of place here. ”

The young man smiled and didn't care about the wine stains on the table, so he lay down, looked at the men around him, and felt the lively atmosphere around him.

"Drinking, just drinking. ”

"Why do you have to fit in?"

Yan Shisan wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and asked.

"Thinking of His Highness's previous words, what are the rivers and lakes?"

"For them, the rivers and lakes are more like ...... life"

"Or Survival ......"

Yan Shisan's gaze swept over the men who were drinking around him and said softly.

"The corner stood a cost-effective man, with calluses on his shoulders, the back of his neck was too black, his back was slightly hunched, the lower plate was indeed extremely stable, and only the dock was more stable when he picked up the bag, and he wanted to come to this person to beg for a living on the small wharf in the west of the city. ”

"The man sitting opposite the village, shaking the dice is extremely skillful, but his right hand is missing two fingers, he has been wanting to do this for a long time, he is too obvious for such a person, the casino does not accept it, and can only open a private game. ”

"But there is a smell of medicine hidden under the smell of tobacco and alcohol on the body, and the rest does not understand, but walking in the rivers and lakes is very familiar with some healing and life-sustaining medicinal materials, without exception, they are all expensive, and there is a person in his family who is not placed, and it is extremely important to him to be sick, like a bottomless pit, he needs a lot of silver. ”

"But since it's a gamble, there must be wins and losses. ”

"On the premise that there is not enough capital, it is the same when the banker is the same. ”

The young man laughed.

"You listen to the dice!"

Yan Shisan said softly,

The young man listened carefully with bated breath, the sound of the dice and the bamboo tube hitting was very crisp, and gradually heard something different, the sound of the dice falling was much duller than usual.

"It's filled with lead. ”

"As long as you win the largest of the ten, it's enough!"

"True and false, false and true!"

The young man said softly, the gambling money on that table has been piled up very high, there are no chips in the small place, most of them are copper plates, broken silver, but together there are still more than ten or twenty taels of silver, which can be regarded as a "huge amount of money".

"Not enough, because he lost. ”

Yan Shisan said softly.

When he looked at it again, a man with a meaty face had pinched a lead-filled dice, and the moment the hammer was swung down, there were big beads of sweat dripping from the forehead of the man in Dangzhuang.

Without much yelling,

After a scream, the dealer's voice stopped abruptly,

The gambling table was still full of people, but it was replaced by a banker, and the original man only had two fingers left in his right hand, and after simply tearing off half of his sleeve and bandaging it, he stumbled out of the tavern.

"It's over?"

"No!"

"He'll be back tomorrow. ”

Yan Thirteen said firmly.

"Because that's what it means to live, or to live?"

The young man looked at the various people in the tavern quietly.

"Yes!"

"That's what they are. ”

Yan Shisan continued to speak.

"The man at the door, with calluses on his hands, bulging around his waist to hide a sharp weapon, looks like a knife, but there is no trace of internal force surging in his body, he is a man who licks blood from the knife edge in the rivers and lakes, and killing people is just a common thing for them. ”

It stands to reason that he is used to seeing the waves, and he should not be surprised, but there are fine beads of sweat on his forehead now, and his eyes are still in the alley when he drinks, and there is only one situation to see his current appearance. ”

Yan Shisan stretched out a finger and shook it gently.

"Kill people who shouldn't be killed, provoke people you can't ......"

The young man retracted his gaze and nodded silently, but he didn't say anything, didn't stop earlier, or simply washed his hands and so on.

The man finally raised his head and drank all the wine in the altar, until the last drop had fallen, and then he held the handle of the knife with his hand through the cloth clothes, and walked silently to the outside of the tavern.

"They were born at the bottom of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Humble to the dust. ”

"It may not be long before a watchman comes across a corpse in an unknown alley. ”

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. ”

Yan Shisan said calmly.

......

"What about you, Mr. Thirteen, have you figured it out?"

"Hmm!"

Yan Shisan nodded,

"Smack......

The long sword from his waist slapped against the wooden table, the shark skin scabbard was inconspicuous and did not attract the attention of others, and then an empty jar was placed next to the long sword.

"This is my rivers and lakes. ”

Yan Shisan looked at the objects on the wooden table and said very seriously.

"As far as Your Highness is concerned, this river and lake is too small. ”

"Two temples, three mountains, seven sects, and eight sects are not enough ......"

"If you want to come to the rivers, lakes and seas, plus the mountains and rivers and hundreds of mountains, it is the rivers and lakes in the heart of His Highness. ”

Yan Shisan was full of wine, looking at the young man beside him with a smile on his eyebrows, and whispered.
