In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River. Mixed peanut trees, flocks of warblers flying around. This is a famous sentence in Qiu Chi's "Book with Chen Bo" in the Southern Dynasty. Qiu Chi wrote the stunning beauty of the late spring in the south of the Yangtze River with a mere sixteen-character song, which is known as the best pen for the ages. Since the Song Dynasty, more literati have summed up the ten views of the West Lake: Spring Dawn on Su Causeway, Wind and Lotus in Quyuan, Autumn Moon on Ping Lake, Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge, Oriole in the Willow Waves, Fish Watching in the Flower Harbor, Sunset on Leifeng, Twin Peaks Inserting Clouds, Nanping Evening Bell, and the Moon in the Three Pools. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many tourists came to Jiangnan and Hangzhou for these, to enjoy the broken bridge, to visit the West Lake, and to climb Leifeng·······

However, today is not the twilight of spring, or even the scorching summer, but the Mid-Autumn Festival ------ August 15, but the tourists seem to be more and more numerous, inns, restaurants and even the streets are bustling with people, and the various boats and boats by the West Lake have long been booked out. I don't know how many people plan to take a boat on the West Lake tonight to enjoy the moon.

At this time, the sun has just risen in the early morning. On the street in the south of Hangzhou, among the tourists wearing various colorful clothes, there is one person who is more conspicuous. This person was dressed in green clothes, but it was shabby, with soap boots on his feet, also open on both sides, his hair was unkempt, and his face was tired and a little tough. This man looked forty miles away, and the man in this kind of clothing was obviously not a tourist, not to mention that he still had a sword in his arms, and a sword with a straw label and sheath stuck in the hilt----- he was going to sell the sword. Most of the people who came and went were wealthy businessmen or literati, and his sword didn't look like a famous sword or an ancient sword, so it didn't attract the attention of many people.

The sword seller still held the sword, lowered his head, and walked forward steadily, as if he did not want to delay the journey.

"Brother Ren, wait a minute!"

A voice from behind him stopped him. He turned around and saw a man in Tsing Yi in his twenties.

When the man in Tsing Yi saw the sword seller turn around, he stepped aside, revealing the person behind him.

The sword seller raised his eyes and looked behind him, only to see an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy walking out behind the man in green clothes. This young man is slender and sturdy, dressed in a green satin brocade suit, wearing a flowing gold crown, tiger stripe boots, a purple belt with a yellow background around his waist, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and a resolute face. At first glance, he is at the gate of wealth, but he is not a gentleman.

Seeing the young man approaching, the big man in green clothes from before spoke to the sword seller: "Brother Tai, my second son wants to see your sword. ”

The sword seller handed the sword wordlessly.

The young man took the sword, pressed the spring with his hand, and withdrew the long sword with a "cang" sound. I saw that the whole body of the sword was covered with blue light, showing a clear image, giving people a faint cold feeling. The boy didn't feel happy.

"Good sword!" said the man in Tsing Yi, who was sandwiched between the sword seller and the boy.

The boy nodded excitedly when he heard this.

"Good sword!"

"What a good sword!"

"Good sword, good sword ·····" Seeing this, several other Tsing Yi entourages behind the young man expressed their positions.

"Brother Ren, make a price!" said the man in Tsing Yi in front of the young man.

"A hundred taels of silver. The sword seller said calmly.

"One hundred taels!?" The man in Tsing Yi was stunned, "You are a Mengren! Thirty taels can buy a good sword on the market!"

The sword seller didn't tell the difference, turned to the young man and said, "This son, it seems that he is also a 'practitioner', to be honest, he is not greedy for money. ”

"Hey, look at his bear-like appearance, and what do you say, 'It's not greedy for money'!"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Oh, this kind of person, I'm sorry!" ······ The man behind the boy began to talk.

The boy raised his hand to stop the voice behind him.

"At the behest of the head of the family, I went out to run errands, because my bags were stolen and I couldn't buy horses, so I would delay my trip. I was really afraid that the owner of the family would be worried, so I wanted to sell my sword to buy a good horse and fly back to my hometown. After a while, I will come to the door with a lot of money to get it back. ”

"You still want to get it back?" the boy was surprised.

"Yes, if Childe liked this sword, it would be okay to give it to Childe in the future. But this sword is given by the head of the family, and the so-called 'gift of the sword' must not be negative!"

"Shall I buy your sword for a hundred taels of silver?" the young man asked.

The swordseller just shook his head silently.

"A thousand taels?"

The sword seller was silent.

"Three thousand taels!"

As I said below, it is not the covetousness of money. ”

"Five thousand taels!" At this time, there were many people around to watch the excitement.

The sword seller was speechless.

"10,000 taels!" As soon as the price came out, there was a sudden "boo".

"I'm not selling anymore. The sword-seller stepped forward and snatched the sword and its sheath from the boy's hand, and returned it to its sheath.

"Brother, why is this?" the young man was shocked.

"Childe is not a person who loves swords, and this sword cannot be trusted by others. ”

"Where do you start?"

"Childe has repeatedly raised prices, but he really defiles my love sword with money and silver. Besides, such an arrogant attitude towards the sword-wielder is by no means a sword-lover!" said the sword-seller.

"I just think this sword is worth the price!" the boy argued.

The sword-seller was silent, turned and walked forward.

"Rude!" The big man in front of the young man was furious, and smashed a punch into the back of the heart of the big man in Tsing Yi. At this point, it's too late for the teenager to stop it.

The sword seller did not look back, passed the sword sheath under his right armpit, hit the big hole on the big man's chest, and then flashed to the left, let go of this punch, the big man's body fell, but the acupuncture point had been controlled, and he could only watch the other party make up for his ribs again.

The young man made a look, and a few people behind him helped the man in Tsing Yi up. The boy went over and slapped him open. Then, the young man jumped forward again and stopped the sword seller who was about to continue his journey, "Why did Your Excellency hurt people?"

The sword-seller stopped and said, "It was his hand that made the first move." ”

"He made a rash move, of course, it was his fault, but Your Excellency has sealed his acupoint, why did you still hurt him?" After that, he looked back at the big man in green clothes just now, and saw that his face was purple, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, obviously that the kick was not light.

The sword-seller remained silent, turning around to make a detour to the left side of the young man.

"Then let me learn your Excellency's tricks!" "I couldn't buy a sword just now, and now he is so arrogant, the young man is obviously enraged. After saying that, he snatched out his left fist, and when he saw the sword seller turn around and dodge, he kicked out with his right foot, and the sword seller quickly withdrew when he saw this.

I saw that the young man's fists were strong, and his legs and legs were powerful, like a young tiger coming out of the mountain, and his momentum was difficult. The sword seller, on the other hand, has a flexible and elegant body, twisting and dodging easily and naturally, like fallen leaves in a stream, elusive. The two of you fought back and forth for more than 20 times, and there was no winner.

The sword-seller didn't seem to want to get entangled here, and was anxious to get rid of the young man. The boy didn't want to let him go like this, and the two of them became more and more compact.

"If you have your hands free, Hugh is rude!" a clear voice sounded on the side of the two.

The young man was startled when he heard this, and quickly withdrew his move, and the sword seller also stopped his hand when he saw this, and looked at the place where the voice came from.

I saw a young man in white clothes shaking a fan standing on the side of the street, this person was carrying a bag, and he thought that he was also a traveler, but he didn't see the vicissitudes of life and tiredness. The face is delicate, the figure is slightly slender, and the white Confucian shirt looks much wider, but it shows another elegant and dusty style.

Ice release

The young man in Huayi was overjoyed when he saw the comer, and hurriedly rushed over and hugged the man in white: "Big brother, you are back, you want to kill your little brother!" forgot about the unhappiness just now.

Several servants in green clothes on the side also hurriedly leaned over to salute the white-clothed boy: "I've seen the eldest prince!"

The man in white first smiled and nodded to them, then turned to face his younger brother with an excited and happy face and said, "Ruteng, if Dad knows that you are making trouble here, it would be strange if he didn't punish you heavily." After saying that, he walked in front of the sword seller, closed the fan and bowed and said, "My brother is not in a state, and Xiaosheng apologizes to his brother on his behalf." ”

The sword seller hurriedly returned the salute, he was about to leave just now, seeing that the young man in white was so humble and polite, it was not easy to leave for a while, so he had to hug his fists and said: "Don't dare to be, it is indeed rude to be rude just now!"

The other party, ------- a young man in Chinese clothes, pouted on the side and did not speak.

"Brother Ren, don't be humble, please wait for a while, Xiaosheng will return justice to you immediately. Without waiting for the other party to respond, "Xiao Jian!"

"Eldest Prince, what do you command?" said one of the people in Tsing Yi.

"Tell me the truth about what you just did!"

"Yes! Xiao Jian immediately told the boy in white about the dispute over buying a sword.

After listening to the family's report, the white-clothed boy said to the sword seller again: "This is exactly the rudeness of the younger brother, I hope that the brother will forgive the sin!"

"Childe's words are serious, Brother Ling is indeed an unintentional mistake, not to mention that there is also rudeness below!"

"I don't think it's as good as this," said the young man in white, "The younger brother has been rushing home in a hurry since the fifth watch, and he has not yet eaten water and rice, and I see that Brother Tai seems to have not had breakfast because he is in a hurry, right?

The sword seller's martial arts were so superb that he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the boy in white, and he couldn't help but be pulled into the hotel by this powerless scholar. Besides, why didn't he get water and rice all day, and since the other party gave him this step, he was happy to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

Seeing this, the "second son" turned back to the family and said, "You go home quickly!" Tell the lord and the lady, and say that the eldest son has returned, and I have received it. Well, he met an old man who was having a drink in a restaurant, and I was with him. Remember: don't mention what just happened!"

Seeing that the family members were ordered to leave, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

The boy in white had already pressed the sword seller on his seat, and also ordered a table of wine and food, and when he saw his younger brother walking upstairs, he got up and said: "Little brother Xiao Fei, the word is like flying, this is the younger brother Xiao Teng, the word is like Teng, a local person, may I ask my brother Taigao's surname?"

The sword seller got up and arched his hand: "The little brother's surname is Yang Minglian, a person from Hebei." ”

"Ah, Brother Yang, I'm glad!" Xiao Fei arched his hand, glancing at his younger brother as he spoke.

Xiao Teng immediately picked up the wine glass: "Just now, the little brother was reckless and rude, and offended Brother Yang, look at the eldest brother Haihan! The younger brother punished himself with three glasses here, and made amends to the eldest brother!"

"Hey, Brother Xiao, it's your fault, and the punishment should be punished!" Yang hurriedly stopped.

"What's the matter!" Xiao Teng said loudly, "My brother said I was wrong, then I was wrong! Don't be such a mother-in-law! If you don't drink again, my gluttony will come up!"

"Second Brother Xiao is really happy, Yang has made you a friend. Okay, I'll drink three cups of myself, let's forget all the unpleasantness just now!"

Xiao Fei stroked his palms and laughed: "Brother Yang is really a refreshing person. Come, little brother toast you!"

Xiao Teng was busy pouring wine for Yang Lian, and Xiao Fei and Yang Lian drank together.

"By the way, the two virtuous brothers' surnames are Xiao, I don't know how to respect them?"

"My father, Xiao Wanlin in the south of the city. Xiao Fei replied.

"Well," Yang Lian nodded, "I don't know if Brother Xiao knows another person surnamed Xiao?"

"Huh, which one?"

"This public surname is Xiao Zhenhai, and he is an old man who has been separated for many years, and this foolish brother is here to find him!"

Both shook their heads: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Don't talk about that, come, drink!" Yang Lian was slightly disappointed, and then raised his glass.

So the three of them talked about wine and gradually became acquainted. Yang Lian has traveled south and north all the year round, and has seen a lot, Xiao Fei is knowledgeable, Xiao Teng is straightforward, and for a while, laughter is full of private rooms.

It was nearly noon, and the three of them were already having fun, Yang Lian got up and said: "Brother Fool is in charge, and he has to return to his hometown to resume his life, forgive me for leaving!"

"In this way, my two brothers will not be retained, and I hope that my brother will not forget today's meeting in Pingshui, and I hope that there will be a fate to reunite in the future!" Xiao Fei also got up and said.

"Definitely! Next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the foolish brother will definitely come to visit!"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Xiao Teng was overjoyed, and then took out a stack of silver tickets from his body, "It's just a fee, and Brother Yang will keep it for the road." ”

"This, how does this make ?!" Yang Lian excused.

"What's wrong with this!" Xiao Fei said, "Brother Yang, the three of us have a relationship, how can I worry about the two of them, for the sake of your brother's affection, Brother Yang must not refuse!"

"Okay, the foolish brother is born!" Yang even stuffed the silver votes into his arms before he counted them, "The foolish brother is really leaving!"

"My two brothers sent Brother Yang. The two got up and sent Yang Lian out of the store.

Seeing Yang Lian gradually moving away, Xiao Teng said: "Brother, it's so fucking cool to drink with people in the rivers and lakes! At home, I have never dared to drink so happily!"

Xiao Fei turned around and said to Xiao Teng: "Second brother, you have to change your reckless temperament." If I hadn't arrived today, you'd be in trouble! Do you know who this Yang is?"

"I don't know," Xiao Teng shook his head, "who is he?"

"Yang Lian, one of the four generals of the former martial arts alliance leader Situ Chao, ranks among the first-class masters of martial arts, known as the 'lightning sword', and is known for his fast sword. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. Judging from the moves just now, he will still use the 'Tiangang Fist', at least eighty percent of the heat, and you haven't reached forty percent yet, right?"

"Do I really have no chance of winning?" Xiao Teng was a little frustrated.

"No, even if you add the few people you brought out, he still makes you look for teeth all over the ground!"

"Oh, big brother, I'm glad you came. Oh, no, you're already there?"

"Yes, I arrived just as you first started fighting. ”

Xiao Teng actually twisted when he heard this, "Big brother, I beg you something......"

"When I got home, I couldn't tell my father about the day. Xiao Fei said for him with a smile.

"Well, big brother, you can promise me, Daddy believes in your words the most" Xiao Teng actually sprinkled on the street.

"Well...... "Xiao Fei didn't answer.

"What, eldest brother doesn't agree?"

"It's not a problem, it's what I say. I say east, you will never go west. So, I can't think of any terms for exchanging with you. Wouldn't I be at a loss in that way?" he laughed.
