Chapter 170: The Living
In the end, Qin Su didn't say yes or no, and Li Xuandu had the right to assume that she agreed.
After this episode, the relationship between Li Xuandu and Qin Su seems to be the same as before, and it seems to be a little different, although in the barren mountains and empty valleys, it is a lonely man and a widow alone, and the two still treat each other politely, but Qin Su no longer objects to Li Xuandu calling her "Susu", and Qin Su also quietly removed the slightly rusty "Li" word when calling Li Xuandu, and directly called "Zifu".
After leaving the pavilion, the two continued on their way. The road is short and the road is long, Li Xuandu was at his peak when he came, the land was soaring, and he was even more galloping horses, but he rushed from Langya Mansion City to Shan Lao Peak in half a day. Now Li Xuandu is not only seriously injured, but also because of the injury to the spine meridians, one leg is a little disobedient, so that Li Xuandu has become a cripple, and the travel speed is naturally extremely slow, and the two of them will probably have to walk for a day and a night before they can return to Langya Mansion.
Fortunately, there are not all people in this mountain, when passing by a farmhouse, Qin Su spent ten taels of silver to buy a cow, for an ordinary farmer, the annual expenses of a family of three are only one or two silver, for this transaction, there is naturally no reason not to agree. So Li Xuandu had a substitute mount, Qin Su walked in front, and Li Xuandu followed behind with a scalper.
When the two of them passed by a bamboo forest, Qin Su casually folded a piece of new bamboo, removed the bamboo branches, and then pierced the hole with his fingers, and after slightly adjusting the rhythm, he put it horizontally to his lips and played it gently.
I don't know when there was such an unwritten rule, most of the young women who can make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes are proficient in music and rhythm, and among today's young women's masters, Yu Qingning and Qin Su have the deepest attainments in music and rhythm. Compared with the two, Yu Qingning specializes in guqin, while Qin Su is qin, Xiao, and flute, because the yamen responsible for music in ancient times was called Yuefu, so people in the rivers and lakes gave her the title of "Yuefu Three Saints".
The melodious sound of the flute echoed in the forest, making people feel refreshed, and after the song was played, Qin Su smiled and said, "Zifu, do you think you don't look like a shepherd boy now?"
Li Xuandu said: "You are the one who plays the flute, and I am the one who rides the bull. ”
Qin Su defended: "That's a green cow, not a scalper." ”
Li Xuandu asked, "What's the name of this song?"
Qin Su didn't look back, put the flute diagonally on his waist, and said, "This song is called 'Qingfeng Mingyue Sauvignon Blanc', it is a must-learn for the introduction of the Forgetful Sect, do you want to learn it?"
Li Xuandu held the scalper's back with both hands, his body swayed with the scalper, and said with a smile: "I don't learn, you can play it for me in the future." ”
Qin Su snorted lightly, didn't refute, just said, "Don't you want to play a song with me?"
Li Xuandu said with a smile: "In addition to the rhythm of music, we can also combine swords and swords to cross the rivers and lakes." ”
Qin Su chuckled, folded another bamboo, made a bamboo flute with the same hand, and threw it backwards.
Li Xuandu stretched out his hand to catch it, it was slightly cool in his hand, and he gently rubbed it in his palm.
Qin Su asked, "What are you going to do after returning to Langya Mansion?"
Li Xuandu said: "Let's recuperate from my injuries first, and when my injuries are healed, it's almost time to calculate the day, and then I have to go to Xianjian Villa to retrieve my new sword." ”
Qin Su hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Li Xuandu nodded and said, "It couldn't be better." ”
"Won't you be humble?" Qin Su suddenly said angrily: "You promised so simply, do you still have a bit of gentlemanly demeanor?"
Li Xuandu said calmly: "What if you give in and you just get off the donkey and regret it? Wouldn't I be hung in the air by you, and I can't get up or down, how uncomfortable it is." ”
Qin Su was indeed a little cautious, if she accompanied Li Xuandu to get the sword, then the set of rhetoric she was going to say to Lu Yanbing would be self-defeating, wouldn't she be laughed to death by Lu Yanbing at that time? Qin Su could almost imagine the scene where Lu Yanbing teased her with a "fourth sister-in-law", so she took the initiative to ask each other, that is, to dig a pit for Li Xuandu, if Li Xuandu was a little polite and humble, she would agree to come down and let Li Xuandu go to get the sword alone, so that she would not be caught by Lu Yanbing and made an excuse to laugh.
It's just that he didn't think that Li Xuandu was so good at chess that he instantly saw through Qin Su's careful thinking, and he didn't give in at all, but let her fall into the pit he dug, which made Qin Su wonder if Li Xuandu was usually pretending to be stupid, as shrewd as a monkey when encountering good things, and like a piece of wood when encountering bad things.
"Let's make up our minds, no repentance, it's the puppy who doesn't count. Li Xuandu sat on the back of the cow, shaking his head, he couldn't see the usual calmness at all, but like a child who tricked a string of sugar gourds from someone else.
Qin Su glanced back at him, angry and funny: "My mother often said that no matter how old a man is, he always has a childish side, I didn't believe it before, but now when I see you, I have to believe it." ”
Li Xuandu leaned forward slightly, leaned on the back of the cow, and said with a smile: "Did the aunt tell you that men are only childish in front of the women they like? ”
Qin Su suddenly felt a little low, and said softly: "My father doesn't hate my mother, but he doesn't like my mother either, so he will never be childish in front of my mother." But he is indeed a good husband, he has done everything that a husband should do, and the two of them can be regarded as a loving husband and wife in the eyes of others. When my mother passed away due to illness, my father was very sad, but this sadness has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but because of the family affection that has been with us for many years. ”
Qin Su said quietly: "I don't blame my father, because I know that the love between men and women is reluctant, like is like, dislike is not like, as a man, he has never snubbed my mother, he has done everything he should do, and he has fulfilled his responsibilities, there is nothing to blame." ”
Li Xuandu was silent, he had no parents since he was a child, when he was apprenticing, his mother had passed away, even if he was the second senior brother of the eldest brother like his father, he was alone, and he really hadn't had much contact with female elders, I don't know what it was like to feel.
After a long time, Li Xuandu comforted softly: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete." It can only be said that creation makes people. ”
Qin Su said lightly "um" and said: "It is for this reason that I always write some stories of lovers who eventually become married in my books, hoping that there will not be so many creations and tricks, and there will not be so many joys and sorrows." ”
Li Xuandu straightened up and repeated what Qin Su had said to him: "The dead are gone, and the living are like this." ”
He is a man who is clumsy in comforting others, and more often than not, he can only be silent.
After a while, Qin Su cleaned up his mood and said softly: "I've been with you for a long time, and I've become verbose, and I like to talk about things that I don't have." ”
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not an ice goose, I won't be impatient." ”
