Chapter 50: The First Day of the New Year Divided by One
On the New Year's Day, the first thing that annoys people is the sound of firecrackers in the early morning of the first day of the new year. In the thirtieth night, those who keep watch for the New Year, those who are drunk or want to take advantage of the New Year's Day to snooze on the morning of the new year, all regard the sound of firecrackers on the morning of the first day of the new year as the enemy of life and death.
The smell of wine on Ding Ye's body had not yet dissipated, the young man rubbed his temples, saw the cups and plates on the table in a mess, and saw that the other two chairs were empty, and he actually slept on the table last night. The young man picked up his black felt hat from the ground and flicked it, and scolded and said, "The man really doesn't have a good thing, so he goes back to his room to sleep and leaves the master and me here alone." As the boy spoke, he slapped the empty teapot on the table again, and felt even more dry.
"It's not good to be so angry on the first day of the new year, I'm afraid you're going to be angry this year. A warm voice sounded with laughter and teasing, Yun Xuelan walked out of the kitchen with three blue porcelain bowls, followed by a Rin Tan with a casserole in his hand.
"You know, the anger means that I will be prosperous this year. Ding Ye sniffed vigorously with his nose as he spoke, stood up slightly, and his eyes glanced at the porridge in the casserole of the young man in black, and he couldn't help but swallow a few saliva.
"Are you sure it's red, not in a hurry?" the young man teased and put a porcelain bowl in front of Ding Ye, "Last night you were as drunk as a dead pig, Jiang Yu and I couldn't lift you, since you don't want to go back to the room to sleep, if we forcibly carry you back to the bed with cultivation, wouldn't it be difficult for a strong man, I, Yun Xuelan, am not this kind of domineering person." The boy said with a mischievous smile on his lips.
"This porridge smells so fresh. Ding Ye couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and put it in the porridge.
"Young master come first. Rin Tan said coldly, and put a bowl of porridge in front of the black felt hat and put it in front of Yun Xuelan. Then he served himself another bowl. Ding Ye was about to hand the bowl to Rin Tan, but the latter directly put the spoon back into the casserole and lowered his head to eat. The young man's hand froze in the air for a moment, and he had to serve a bowl of it in embarrassment.
"I put the leftover fish and shrimp from last night in a pot and boiled them together, and cut some shredded bamboo shoots and choy sum. This is a way to make porridge in Liyangzhou, and we can taste the authentic when we arrive in Liyangzhou in a few days. Yun Xuelan said.
"You made this porridge?" Ding Ye deliberately raised his tone a little higher, "It's really an honor for me to be able to taste the craftsmanship of the young owner of Yunyin Mountain Villa." ”
"If you talk like that, there will be no horse for you to ride after that. You didn't eat what I made along the way?" Yun Xuelan pretended to be threatening and glared at the young man in the black felt hat.
"You don't have a horse either. Before Ding Ye could refute, Rin Tan's cold voice sounded, making the warmth that had just come from drinking hot porridge disappear in an instant.
"Huh?" Yun Xuelan looked at the young man in black puzzled, but Ding Ye's mood was much better for no reason, and he looked at the master and servant with schadenfreude.
"The injury is not healed and it is not easy to ride a horse, so we rent a carriage. Rin Tan explained.
"It's good to ride in a carriage, and you don't get tired in a carriage. Or do you feel sorry for your young master, this horse has been ridden for a long time, and the buttocks and thighs are like soaking in caustic soda. Ding Ye clapped his hands.
"It's fine. Yun Xuelan said: "A few days ago, everyone was in a hurry, and now we are not in a hurry, so we will adjust for a few days, and set off on the third day of junior high school." ”
After Yun Xuelan returned to Yunyin Villa after being injured, she insinuated in front of everyone that she suspected that Rin Tan was a ghost in the villa who betrayed her. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a scene between a young man and a guard. Later, Yun Xuelan secretly sent Rin Tan to leave the village and go to Nanliang, and the task that Rin Tan got from the boy was indeed to go to Nanliang to track down the whereabouts of the snake catcher and Yun Jinhe.
Before leaving, Yun Xuelan informed Mr. Zhongli of his true purpose and the route of the trip. When Rin Tan Lizhuang and Mr. Zhongli resigned, they learned of the boy's plan, but the boy did not discuss the matter with him. It is not negotiable, and it is not negotiable.
After the black-clothed young man arrived in Nanliang, he pretended to investigate secretly, and after the pair of eyes staring at him behind him passed on his whereabouts to the forces behind him, the young man cut off these tails one by one, and then rushed back to Daxia non-stop to go to the appointment with the young man on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month. The young man did not dare to delay along the way, he was very afraid of what kind of danger the young man would fall into if he failed to arrive as promised. What he was most afraid of was the appearance of that one, if the boy made a mistake, what should those people do in advance? The anxious young man repeatedly told himself along the way, the first if he couldn't let it happen, this was the boy's trust in him. The second in case will not happen, this is his confidence in the boy.
Yun Xuelan seemed to be touring the mountains and rivers along the way, but in fact, she was thinking about lighting a lamp and boiling oil in her heart. Where to go, when to hide your whereabouts, what you intend to show your true face, how long to stay in a certain place, and how to deal with it if there is a sudden change and delay the trip, all the seemingly random actions are all in Yun Xuelan's calculations step by step. The young man calculated correctly, if the people who came to kill him in the lower martial realm failed, the people behind the scenes would definitely take the risk and send the warriors of the middle martial realm to intercept and kill him. The young man was gambling, betting on his own speculation, betting on the arrival of the pond as scheduled, and gambling on his own calculations. So there were nine deaths and a life in the broken temple the day before yesterday.
Fortunately, the boy finally won the bet. It's just that the winner is really tired, I, tired.
Ding Ye felt bored in the inn, and asked the innkeeper to learn that from today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a temple fair in the City God Temple. The young man in the black felt hat, who was very playful, pulled Yun Xuelan to go with him. Rin Tan didn't worry about his young master and this person who didn't even recognize his father and mother when he went to the market, so he followed the two of them alone. The ice bumps on his back made Ding Ye feel uncomfortable, and his playfulness was also defeated.
Before going out, Ding Ye took out the new clothes he bought yesterday and said that he would not only wear new clothes but also red clothes in the New Year. gave Yun Xuelan a bright red brocade with a long-distance run embroidered with carp patterns on the cuffs with gold threads. But Ding Ye himself changed into a water-red slim dress, which is called the main and secondary orderly, since Yun Xuelan is wearing red, he can't be robbed of the limelight by his follower. And Rin Tan claimed that he was used to wearing black, so he changed into a new one of his mustard seeds, but with a red belt around his waist, it would not be incompatible with this day.
Yun Xuelan, who was wearing a red shirt, a silver hairpin on his head, and a jade fracture fan on his waist, looked like a rich and elegant prince. In addition, the two entourages behind him are also handsome and extraordinary, which makes many women stop and look sideways along the way, or whisper, or ripple spring hearts, or infatuated peach blossoms.
The closer you get to the City God Temple, the more bustling the crowd becomes, and you can hear the voices of people in the distance, shouting, cheering, bargaining, and from time to time there is the shameful sound of a woman being eaten tofu by a bold person in the crowd.
After shopping for less than two pillars of incense, Ding Ye and Yun Xuelan's hands were full of meat skewers, rice cakes, fish cakes, sugar people and other snacks. The two of them ate while walking, and from time to time they would make a gesture to the stalls on the street, and Rin Tan would buy two copies with interest. So the young man in black had more things in his hands.
The three of them came to a stall making rock sugar gourds, and the merchant was an honest man in his thirties, holding a target full of red lanterns. In front of the stall, a few adults were looking for the largest and roundest string for the children they were holding in their hands. The middle-aged man has a good temper and is not urging or angry, and from time to time he will bow his head and smile at a few children. When he receives the money from the adults, the middle-aged man will pull out the string of sugar gourds that have been ordered and hand them to the children, and then continue to watch them leave with a smile.
"If you eat too much meat, why don't you eat some sour food to relieve your greasy?" Ding Ye chewed something in his mouth, poked the red-clothed young man beside him with his elbow, and asked vaguely.
Yun Xuelan patted her chest, stuffed a piece of fried crispy golden fish skin cake into her mouth, and nodded with her cheeks puffed. The two walked up to the middle-aged man to look for it.
"A piece of sanwen money, all of which are hawthorns that have been removed, are all made by my mother-in-law and aunt at home when I got up this morning. Let's have a string of two sons. "When the middle-aged man saw a new business come to his door, he talked a lot.
At that moment, a woman's scolding came from the direction behind the man. Everyone followed the voice, and saw a boy of seven or eight years old, with a dirty face, running in this direction. Behind the boy, a slightly bloated woman panted and chased after him. The woman scolded as she ran: "Little bastard, you have suffered a thousand knives, you stole the family's money and ran out to buy food." How did I give birth to such a little beast as you?"
The woman wept and scolded herself, causing the passers-by to laugh and laugh, and the children on the way to the road measured their bodies to make way. There are also good deeds who will shout in a loud voice, "Hurry up and run, if your mother catches up, she will definitely pick your skin." "Dasa, which cow in the village did you little brute have?" the onlookers laughed louder.
Ding Ye and Yun Xuelan glanced at the back, and they were not interested in this kind of parental short-term right and wrong. Yun Xuelan was about to take the two strings of sugar gourds from the middle-aged hand, and something threw herself into her arms.
Yun Xuelan looked down, it turned out to be the boy who stole the family's belongings just now to avoid his mother's pursuit, and at some point, he accidentally crashed into his arms. When Yun Xuelan looked down, the other party also happened to raise his head to look at him, his eyes full of apology and horror. However, Yun Xuelan clearly saw cyan beard marks on this person's lips. Yun Xuelan was stunned, the horror in the boy's eyes turned into a strange smile, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly became hideous. When the man crashed into Yun Xuelan's arms, the hands attached to the latter's abdomen instantly bent into claws with ten fingers, and stabbed into Yun Xuelan's abdomen hard, and the boy's mouth turned out to be an adult man's voice, muttering gloomily, "Go die."
It's just that the hideousness on the man's face hasn't completely turned into smugness, and his expression is frozen in the moment. He screamed bitterly, and struggled to pull his hands away from Yun Xuelan's body, but when he left the young man's body, only the palms of his hands remained, and the original ten fingers were already dripping with blood.
Yun Xuelan didn't care about the blood stains on his body, he raised his right hand and slapped it heavily on the forehead of the man who was posing as a boy with a dwarf along with a cloud-shaped shuttle in his palm. The dwarf man's body trembled, and the blood from his eyes, mouth and nose flowed like a waterfall. Yun Xuelan's hand gently pushed, and the dwarf fell to the ground.
The bloated woman, who arrived just in time, screamed miserably, "Murder! You killed my son!" The crowd of onlookers, who had been frightened by the scene in front of them, came to their senses after the woman's scream. They all ran around shouting, and kept shouting "killed" in their mouths.
While everyone was running around, the woman pulled out a soft sword from her waist and stabbed the young man standing in the heart. Yun Xuelan first used her left elbow to push Ding Ye away beside her, and took advantage of the situation to dodge to the left. At the same time, the right hand is wiped over the chest, and the sword bamboo is held in the hand. Raise to the right the soft sword that swings away the woman.
However, the soft sword wrapped around the cyan saber in the young man's hand like a poisonous snake. The poisonous snake climbs the bamboo snake letter and points to the young man's wrist. The young man behind the pond was rushed back one after another by the crowd fleeing in all directions, although he realized that the situation was not good at this time, but because he was squeezed into the ordinary people, if he rushed to help, he would definitely hurt the innocent.
Yun Xuelan patted the bottom of the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and the green bamboo came out of his hand, and shot through the poisonous snake and towards the woman's left shoulder. At the same time, the young man crushed the gall of a yellow square charm with his left hand. As soon as the yellow light in the young man's hand lit up, all the sugar gourd sticks on the wooden target in the hands of the honest middle-aged man flew upside down like a rain of arrows enveloping Yun Xuelan's previous standing, but only shot a remnant of the young man. The red fruits that were broken in series rolled to the ground one after another, like lanterns all over the ground, and like human heads everywhere.
"Not good!" the woman reminded the middle-aged man selling sugar gourds as she stepped back to defuse the sword's attack. The man's reaction was also extremely fast, the wooden target in his hand was lifted upside down, and the man was about to slap the head of the stick behind him, but he felt a heavy blow to the back of the head. The middle-aged man staggered two steps, the buzzing of his head had not yet recovered, and Yun Xuelan, who had just hit the back of the opponent's head with a punch, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and hit the man's neck bone with another punch.
A punch hit the back of the neck, the palm knife cut across the neck, and a kick stomped heavily on the lower back. Yun Xuelan's shot was like the wind, and in a few breaths, the man was more critical, and the latter was only hit with red hawthorns everywhere. It wasn't until the woman's soft sword stabbed the boy again that she relieved her companion.
It's just that there is a helping hand and the man is alone, although the people of Rintan who separated the crowd have not arrived, they threw the Yin as if they were expressions, and the black Jiao Yulang roared to the woman who still wanted to pursue Yun Xuelan. The woman turned around in panic to block, but how could the little snake in her hand compete with the dragon, the woman's chest was pierced by the black whip, and her body leaned back, but before she fell, she was nailed to the ground, and the blood stained the ground, making the hawthorn that rolled down all over the ground look even more red.
Yun Xuelan didn't pay attention to Ding Ye, who was vomiting on the side, he flew up from the ground with a wave of his left hand, circled around and cut off the man's head. The young man jumped high, tapped the tip of the hilt with his toes, and the green bamboo turned into a green lightning bolt through the eyebrows of the middle-aged man who had not yet stood firm.
Yun Xuelan, who fell back to the ground, was a little panting, and her face was a little pale. Ding Ye, who vomited because he saw such a bloody scene, and Rin Tan, who disappeared like a tide of anxiety on his face, came to the young man's side, and seeing the young man's painful look, Ding Ye asked, "Brother Lan, but you are injured again?"
Yun Xuelan didn't answer, and her expression became more and more bitter. Then he looked down at his abdomen.
Ding Ye followed the young man's gaze, and saw a hole in the abdomen of the young man's robe, and streams of blood flowed out of it. Ding Ye shouted "wow", hurriedly turned his head to look at Rin Tan and said, "Why are you still stunned, don't you stop the bleeding for your young master?"
Unexpectedly, Rin Tan just glanced at Ding Ye mockingly, and said lightly, "Change it to a new one." So he went to the woman's body and searched her.
Before the young master in the black felt hat could react, Yun Xuelan patted the former's shoulder with a painful face, "It's a pity! Unfortunately, I was bitten by the mouse on my body. Go back and pick out a red one for me. After that, Ding Ye, who was stunned, and the little beast tofu who was thrown on the ground by his master with an aggrieved face.
When I first saw blood, it was good luck, and it was only the first time that year. has touched the path of Meng Yuan's return to the martial arts, so why not be afraid of tricks and murders.
