Chapter 168: The Blind Man and the Carpenter
Of course, the road is not very far, and there is really nothing on the uneven road.
The autumn breeze is always uninteresting, and from time to time it brings a hint of chill.
Li Qing felt that he was walking very easily.
The blind man walking in front of him, as if he had not returned home for many years and was always wandering outside, hummed a little song in his mouth.
Although his voice is not as good as that of the sensible Ah Chen, he can hear a small song in the suburbs, and Li Qing feels good.
The pole in his hand to explore the way, every time it falls to the ground, it will leave a small round hole, this blind man's technique and skill, Li Qing has already judged very clearly.
And Li Qing already knew that the pole in his hand was a special weapon, no wonder everyone who came would crawl back, he must have broken his leg.
The cruelty on the rivers and lakes, Li Qing had a feeling that they would never be soft on their enemies, even if this person disappeared for a long, long time.
Resentment never goes out in a person's heart.
Especially Xiao tears.
This friend always brings people who have never known each other, these people seem to be very strange to each other, but they seem to be very familiar.
Looking at the blind man walking in front, although this person has no name, judging from the way he walks, he lives a very chic life.
A person who does not suffer may be the happiest person in the world, but unfortunately there is no one in the world who can do it.
When he left last night, whether it was a ghost or a person in the Ten Thousand Butterfly Valley, Li Qing vaguely understood in his heart that the purpose of their coming was only for the sword in his hand.
Li Qing didn't ask Monk Hua everything.
What Xiao Tear was unwilling to say, no matter who asked, he would definitely not answer, from Xiao Tear Blood's confident gaze, Li Qing knew that Monk Hua might not be a bad monk.
As for the blind man who walked in front and led the way, on the contrary, Li Qing's thoughts became a little too much, the more calm and calm people they were, the deeper their city government became.
The age of the blind Li Qing guessed that it was between forty and fifty years old, and everyone lived to this age, and they would have a sad past of their own.
If this person forgets his past and sees only the sunshine of tomorrow, this person will surely live happier than anyone else.
It's a pity that there are no people in the world who can do this, Li Qing knows that he can't do it either, he has friends, and people who are worried about friends in their hearts will definitely not be able to do it.
The blind man suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the road, he didn't look back at Li Qing, but said to Li Qing: "Not only do you look at the pole in my hand to explore the way, but you must also guess in your heart that I am a person." ”
Li Qing didn't answer, and was guessed by others to think about it, so he could only smile lightly, so Li Qing chose to laugh, but the voice was not very loud.
"You're laughing, which means I'm right. And the blind man spoke.
Li Qing couldn't laugh, a slight movement, the blind man didn't even turn his head, he could hear it, this person's hearing was really a bit powerful.
"Yes!" Li Qing did not deny.
"You must be wondering why I'm so happy today?" said the blind man again.
Li Qing still didn't speak, he knew that the blind man would definitely tell him this answer, this kind of temper was very strange, what they didn't want to say, they wouldn't say it if they killed them.
If he wants to tell you something, he doesn't have to ask, they will tell him.
Sure enough, the blind man said, "Actually, I was not born blind, but because my curiosity was too heavy, I met people I shouldn't have met." ”
"Just because you met him, he hurt your eyes?" Li Qing still didn't hold back his curiosity, he asked.
"No, it was just one day that I discovered something more interesting, and I realized that I was wrong, and I shouldn't have met her at all. The blind man said.
Can a chance encounter be wrong?
However, the blind man's words not only surprised him, but also changed Li Qing's mind, and Li Qing's pace couldn't help but slow down.
"This is a woman, a very beautiful woman, a woman who blinds anyone who sees it. The blind man seemed to hear Li Qing's slowed footsteps.
Another beautiful woman, the story of a beautiful woman is a bit much.
Li Qing completely stopped, the blind man's eyes actually blinded a beautiful woman? This is simply impossible, but the current person is indeed a blind man.
"There are only two ways out for those who see her. The blind man sighed.
"What kind of way out?" said Li Qingdao.
"I'm the only one who has learned to give up, but I'm blind, and no one can believe that a blind man can see anyone else, and they will never believe what he says. "The blind man is reminiscing about his past.
At that moment in the past, there must have been countless pains buried in his heart, people live in pain, only loss, but the blind man at this moment is very happy.
The blind man didn't look back, he seemed to see through Li Qing's mind again, coughed dryly, and said, "I'm a happy person, I've forgotten the past." ”
Li Qing couldn't answer his words, but was stunned.
The man paused for a moment, then stepped away again.
When the coffin shop appeared in front of him, Li Qing was dumbfounded.
Lao Du's coffin shop is simply not a room that can be lived in by one person.
Li Qing didn't see a room where people could live at all.
The wood at the door was piled up into a hill, and although the yard was very clean, the wood emitted a strange smell, which made Li Qing rub his nose.
Under an open shed, there are ten coffins, the white skin is not painted, which is particularly eerie, and at first glance it reminds people of ghosts wandering at night.
An old man is lying on a shabby bamboo chaise longue with a small table made of random wooden boards and a pot of tea on it.
The tea set was washed very cleanly, Li Qing smelled the smell of osmanthus tea, it was very strong and strong, and when he walked in here, the fragrance of tea suppressed the smell of wood.
The old man's hand rested on the edge of the chaise longue, gently tapping the beat that only he understood, and humming a little song that only he could understand.
The face of the vicissitudes of life has a mustache, and the constantly shaking chaise longue is reminiscent of a tumbler, and the man keeps his eyes closed.
From the moment Li Qing walked in, the old man didn't open his eyes, and he didn't seem to be interested in the people who came.
The blind man walked slowly, and when he was only one step away, the man stopped, and as soon as the man took one more step forward, his pole touched the small table.
Just the right distance, as if after countless calculations, Li Qing guessed that these two people must have been together for a long time, and only people who know each other so well will cooperate seamlessly.
The lying man's nose wrinkled vigorously and said, "Blind!"
"Carpenter, what a fragrant tea!" said the blind man.
"You should take a shower, I can smell it from miles away. The old man who was lying down raised his hand and fanned the smell in front of him.
The hand stroked his beard again, and he seemed a little dissatisfied with the blind man in front of him.
"Lying in your coffin, you still want to smell the butterflies of spring. The blind man smiled.
Li Qing didn't say anything, he looked around attentively at the moment, except for this big shed, he still didn't find any place to live.
Hearing the blind man's words, Li Qing immediately understood why there was no room here, they actually slept in a coffin, this preference was exactly the same as that of the flower monk.
Maybe everyone has their own way of life, but it's a bit strange that they choose a different way than normal people.
"Life is like a dream, time is like a sword! It's Young Master Li who has come?" said the man whose name was 'Carpenter', and he didn't open his eyes.
"Shopkeeper Du is good!" Li Qing hesitated a little, but he still changed his name to this person.
"In the past, I was drunk and worried, but it was after dusk when I woke up!" After the shopkeeper Du finished groaning, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qing, and after a few 'tsk' sounds in his mouth, he closed his eyes again.
"His sword is really not wrong!" said the shopkeeper Du to the blind man.
Li Qing smiled lightly, with a kind of doubt in his smile, everyone here seemed to know the sword in his hand.
"He is the tenth wave of people I waited for today, and I believe that he is Young Master Li. The blind man said with a smile.
"How many people are coming?" the chaise longue stopped shaking, and the man's eyes widened.
"But they've all gone back, and no one has come back to bother you. The blind man grinned.
"They must have crawled back, I don't have to think about it, I can guess that. Shopkeeper Du sighed, he didn't like the way of the blind.
The blind man smiled again: "An old friend is an old friend, you have already figured out my temper, it seems that I will have to live here for a while." ”
Shopkeeper Du jumped up from the recliner, looked at the blind man's face carefully, and said for a long time: "How long is this period of time?"
"Maybe as long as I've been here, and it won't bother you for long. The blind man smiled and said.
Shopkeeper Du left the recliner, walked back and forth a few times in front of this courtyard, which could not be said to be a courtyard, and said coldly: "You seem to have forgotten how long you have been here." ”
"When I meet a friend I like, I definitely don't want to go, I don't like to give up my old friend. The blind man's words were very reasonable.
No one will give up on their old friend easily, unless it breaks his heart.
The footsteps stopped, and this time the shopkeeper Du looked at Li Qingyan and said, "Have you ever seen a person who has lived for fifteen years, which is not too long?"
How did the blind man live here for so long? Li Qing covered his head, and they slept in the coffin for fifteen years? Li Qing couldn't even think about it.
"Let me tell you a story?" said the shopkeeper Du sat down on the chaise longue again.
Li Qing smiled and said, "I like to listen to stories the most, no matter who the owner of this story is, his story must be very moving." ”
Shopkeeper Du sank his face and said, "In the past, there was a young chivalrous man, his martial arts were very good, and there was a beautiful girl beside him. ”
The girl is too beautiful, there must be trouble, Li Qing thought of herself.
"It's a pity that this chivalrous man doesn't like girls, only martial arts, and he has a special fascination with martial arts. Du shopkeeper said.
"What martial arts?" asked Li Qing.
"A martial art that only men can practice. Du shopkeeper said.
Li Qing didn't ask again, there are only two kinds of kung fu in martial arts, so that a man can't like a girl, it is 'Tongzi Gong' and 'Iron Cloth Shirt'.
In order to learn this skill, the man himself blinded himself, so that he would never see the beautiful girl. The shopkeeper Du felt deep regret.
"Tong Zigong!" Li Qing said gloomily.
