Chapter 042 of "Painting the Wife".
Xiaohong held an umbrella and silently followed Lu Xinyao along this deep and dark street. My sister was unhappy, she was also sad, looking up at the sky, there were no stars, the clouds were thick, the thick leaden clouds shrouded the dark earth, the scattered houses were filled with scattered candles, the rain was dripping, and a nocturne full of lovesickness was played on the empty rainy night.
Lu Xinyao refused the umbrella handed over by Xiaohong, standing quietly on the dock in the rain and cold wind, letting the rain drench endlessly, bringing dripping dampness and chill, evoking a sweet memory, lovesick memories.
It's always easy to reminisce on a night like this, reminiscing about the feeling of lovesickness. The cold wind was blowing, and the thick melancholy lingered.
"I'll take a small boat, go out to sea to fish, and I'll have a wife at home, and I'll wait for my return......"
The feeling of loss is most afraid of hearing the faint singing voice floating in the distance, and I can't help but touch the scene, so my heart hurts, and it hurts to the depths of my memory, the untouchable wound in my soul. Looking at the hazy silhouette of the boat in the distance, Lu Xinyao sighed and chanted softly:
White tea Qinghuan has nothing else to do, I am waiting for the wind and waiting for you.
Three miles of breeze and three miles of road, there is no more you in the wind every step.
In the end, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, you are a gift and a disaster.
Acacia turned into pearls, and tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes. Xiaohong rubbed her hands, one side was cold, but she couldn't think of the words to comfort her.
"Sister, let's go back. Cold wind and cold rain, don't suffer from the wind and cold. Xiaohong's call pulled her back to reality from her tumultuous sorrows.
"Sister, where do you say the officials are, and where am I going?" she felt a sense of confusion in front of her, the world was so big, she didn't know where to go.
"Wherever my sister goes, my sister will follow. Xiaohong's words were a bit unanswered. If she knew where she came from, she would tie him up, and then slap him in the mouth, who would let him hurt his sister and be afraid of him every night and suffer lovesickness.
"Day after day, when is the time for the world to come. Official, say goodbye in a hurry, it's been a year, where are you?" her brow twisted into a knot.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, followed by a crisp thunderclap, and then a torrential downpour. It was as if the gods heard the signal, tore open the canopy, and poured the water of the heavenly river into the world.
Xiaohong said: "My sister and the official are fateful, otherwise, how can they be husband and wife in this life? When fate arrives, it's hard to think about it. ”
"Really good at talking. Lu Xinyao couldn't help but say, "It's raining heavily, let's go back......"
Xiaohong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tonight, I finally tricked her into going back, as for tomorrow, let's talk about it.
The Wind God's sharp arrows roared towards the helpless earth, letting out bursts of rage. The trees on the roadside swayed their clumsy limbs to avoid the rain arrows, and the green weeds on the river were like frightened children, huddled in the corners of the pond, and the water turned violently with the direction of the wind, and the waves on the river surface were undulating.
The boat in the distance swayed in the wind and rain, swaying violently, and it seemed that it could be subverted at any moment. Finally, in the howling wind, the boat came to the shore with bruises, and the old man who drove the boat was so tired that he sat down on the ground and replied, "Guest officer, this is Xiangyang." ”
But there was silence in the ship, and when he turned his head, he saw that the man in the cabin was sleeping soundly, and he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Guest officer, can you sleep in this wind and waves?"
The man stretched his waist, said "thank you", paid the ferry fare, and walked forward in the wind and rain despite his wet clothes.
"Guest officer, the wind and rain are heavy, it is better to take shelter in the cold house for a while, and it is not too late to leave tomorrow morning. "In the wind and rain, the boatman's kindness drifted out a long way. The man suddenly turned back, sighed, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have nowhere to go, since the boatman is kind, thank you here." I will be in this boat for one night, and if the boat capsizes, it will kill me, and I can't blame anyone. With that, he got into the cabin, took off his wet clothes, and fell asleep. The boatman's persuasion was fruitless, so he shook his head and sighed, and brought a torn quilt from home to ward off the cold.
At this time, the heavy rain became more and more crazy, and the dark sky seemed to be about to collapse. The wind chased the rain, the rain chased the wind, the wind and the rain combined to chase the clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth were in the rain. The wind whipped the torrential rain like countless whips, whipping the house with all its might.
Suddenly, a young woman ran through the rain in a torrential rain wearing only obscene clothes and trousers, which soaked her thin clothes and confused her pale face.
I saw her crying as she ran, and the rain tore her heart like a sharp knife, and the blood flowing from her heart turned into tears and washed her already scarred face with the rain.
She was drenched in the rain, like she had been splashed over her head by a large basin of water. The soaked clothes clung to her body, making her already thin figure look even more skinny.
She staggered and stumbled towards an inn, and not far behind her, a dark figure screamed and brandished her scimitar in her hand, rushing at her desperately.
With the approach of the martial arts conference, there are a lot of people in the inn, idle and bored and have nowhere to go, drinking tea and chatting, eating and drinking, and even simply to avoid the rain, and the black pressure is crowded with people.
The shopkeeper here was a man of about fifty years old with a beard, ten fingers with broken roots, only seven fingers remaining, and a two-inch-long scar on his forehead that made people look like a giant centipede lying there.
The shopkeeper is not an idle person, when he was young, he mixed in the rivers and lakes, his movements were lightning fast, his shots were like lightning, and he was so uneven that his friends on the rivers and lakes gave him a nickname: Chivalrous Quick Knife Hand. It's just that later, for some reason, he suddenly retired incognito.
Seeing a skinny girl rushing in wet wearing only obscene clothes and pants, ordinary people exclaimed, and naturally glanced at him lightly, and continued to drink his wine and tell his affairs about the rivers and lakes. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked up into the distance, and sure enough, there was a person behind him who ran towards this side violently.
With pity in his heart, he bent down and was about to help, but an old woman immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Have you forgotten how your right hand was broken?"
The shopkeeper glanced at him, and said angrily: ""How can you not save others when they are in trouble?"
The old woman sighed and said, "You finally withdrew from the rivers and lakes, so why do you have to wade into this troubled water again?"
The shopkeeper stomped his foot and said, "If you don't save her, she'll die!"
The old woman grabbed him by the sleeve and tried her best to stop him: "If you save her, we will die! Have you forgotten how our son died? Have you forgotten?"
The old woman's words obviously touched his most fragile nerve, looking at the frightened girl on the ground, looking at his right hand, the shopkeeper sighed, and slowly withdrew his outstretched hand.
At this time, the knife-wielding man had already rushed in, and without saying a word, he punched and kicked the girl with a head and face. While beating, he kept scolding and scolding in his mouth.
"I'll feed you for you and dress you, and give you silver flowers every month, and you're actually stealing men outside! Why are you, a woman with watery poplar flowers, so unruly! Look at me breaking your leg today!"
The girl was beaten all over her body and bruised, and her head was pressed to the ground, but despite this, she still gritted her teeth, and instead of begging for mercy, she desperately cried for help.
"Are you going back with me?"
It turned out that this young woman stole a man, and she deserved to be killed if she didn't abide by women's morals like this! Everyone talked about it, pointing fingers at the girl, or ridiculing her, or despising her, and even spit on the girl directly.
"The slave family is not his wife, he is a bad person, he killed the slave family's father, and he still wants to take the slave family as his wife. Heroes, save the slave family, you must not believe him......"
Before she could finish speaking, a punch and kick rained down on her body again: "You dare not abide by the woman's way, and you are so ashamed! Look how I will clean you up when I go back!"
In the inn, there are already discerning people in the rivers and lakes who have seen the doorway.
The name of the knife bearer is Ye Luo, and he is the left protector of the Cold Moon Sect. The Cold Moon faction is good at making knives, and its head Zheng Yidao is the master of killing people and goods, because of the strange knife moves, and making good use of the left kung fu of the side door, even the Lord of Yama has to retreat when he sees it.
And this little lady is Xiaoyu, the farmer's daughter, Ye Luogou fights with people, under the banner of Zheng Yidao, and uses the prestige of the Cold Moon Sect to do mischief.
Ye Luo is ruthless, and Zheng Yidao's notoriously irascible temper is even more daring to provoke, there are so many heroes in the rivers and lakes who died in his hands, no one dares not to agree to anything he wants.
At this time, one of the people sitting at the window eating wine laughed and said, "How can Ye Protector be so hungry and not choose to eat, the best goods are in that Penglai Inn, and they are ten million times more beautiful than this girl." ”
It was none other than Zheng Yidao who said this. Seeing the head speak, Ye Luo also followed with a haha, the knife fell in his hand, Xiaoyu screamed, but when he saw the rags flying, his body was scraped by the knife in the blink of an eye, revealing a pair of skin and bones, and everyone looked at each other, and none of them dared to speak.
Ye Luo squinted and squinted his eyes and said: "What the head said is extremely true, where is this a woman, for tomorrow's martial arts conference, her subordinates are just using it to practice swords." ”
Zheng Yidao smiled slightly and said, "You have to be careful, it is said that the woman injured the two brothers of the Central Plains Five Tigers, and Wei Jian couldn't make a move in her hands." ”
"Don't worry, boss, what I have is the means! No matter how powerful a woman is, how can she be able to beat a man's spear?" After saying that, Ye Luo laughed and swayed towards the Penglai Inn.
In terms of martial arts, Ye Luo can be compared to Wei Jian, Wei Jian is not an opponent, he is naturally the defeated general of that woman. But if you talk about conspiracy, Ye Luo has a venomous means that are not shameful.
When I came to Penglai Inn, a scimitar went to the head of the shopkeeper, and then with a glaring of eyes, the shopkeeper was almost fart, what to ask and what to answer, I really knew everything.
Hearing that there was indeed a beautiful woman, Ye Luo's mind became lively, and he quietly came to the door of the wing room, and when he heard the sound of water coming from the house, his heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at the cat's waist, which was unbearable, and suddenly made him stunned.
But in the wing room, behind the screen, there was smoke, and in the center of the room there was a wooden barrel with one foot, and the clothes fell to the ground full of clear and gorgeous eyes, slender and jade, and burned the fool's heart.
A graceful woman is bathing, the warm liquid overflowing the creamy skin and submerged in the warm water sprinkled with rose petals, and the inky green silk gently rests on the outside of the wooden barrel.
A handsome face appeared in front of Ye Luo's eyes, but her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, sweeping out shallow worries on her delicate face, but because of this, her originally surprisingly beautiful appearance added a heart of pity to me.
Ye Luo's heart suddenly beat faster, and he wanted to break into the door several times, but thinking of what the head had said, he had to hold back. With his martial arts, it is not enough to be sure of nine out of ten, and if you want to catch it, you must use three indiscriminate means.
He rolled a piece of paper into a tube, poured a packet of powder into the tube, lit it, and was about to send the green smoke into the room, when suddenly a flower pot fell from the sky, and with a "pop" sound, it smashed heavily beside him. Ye Luo was startled by this suddenness, his hand shook, and the paper tube fell to the ground.
"Who's out there?"
Lu Xinyao shouted angrily, her delicate body spun up from the bath bucket, stretched out her hand, took Luo Shang from Xiaohong's hand, and wrapped it up. Because of the screen, Ye Luo didn't see much spring light, and was about to turn around and run away, only to feel a red light rushing towards him, and he subconsciously dodged, but it was too late. Suddenly, he let out a terrible scream, covered his eyes with his hands, and blood kept flowing from his fingers.
"Ahh......h
Lu Xinyao glanced at the paper tube that fell on the window, and understood seven or eight points in her heart, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "Peeping at a woman bathing has violated the laws of my Great Song Dynasty, and if you use such methods of three religions and nine streams, the crime will be increased by one degree, and you will be sentenced to death." ”
After that, I didn't see her sword out of the sheath, but I felt a sword light rushing out of the scabbard, and Ye Luo's body was still rolling on the ground, and his head had rolled to the corner.
After killing Ye Luo, Lu Xinyao clasped her fists at the roof and said, "Thank you hero for sacrificing your life!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Murong Yan's superb martial arts are impressive, it seems that the position of alliance leader belongs to you. The voice came from all directions, apparently to paralyze her from detecting where she was hiding.
"The concubine is the wife of the king of the county, and the position of the leader of the alliance is not what I want. If the hero has any news about my husband, please let me know, I would be grateful. ”
"But what about the king of the county?"
"Exactly. ”
The person who came laughed and said: "You killed Ye Luo, Zheng Yidao, the head of the Cold Moon Sect, will definitely seek revenge on you, if you can kill him, I will tell you not too late, but Madame, it is better to hurry, I think King He will not be able to hold out for a few days." When he said the last sentence, the sound was like the chirping of mosquitoes, and it was obvious that the person had gone away.
Lu Xinyao was taken aback. Not only did this man know everything about himself, but he also knew where he came from. If you believe him, you will feel that you will be led by his nose, if you don't believe him, if your words are true, then your husband will die in your own hands.
"Sister, it's all ready. When she hesitated, Xiaohong had already packed her baggage, and at this time in the past, once there was a disturbance, her sister would inevitably move immediately.
Seeing that she was so cautious, Lu Xinyao suddenly grinned.
