33. Pursuit
Although Chu Qiushui has not been born in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he does learn like an old Jianghu. It's just that He's always a little bit different, and he only has one head, and he can only use this one head to think about problems.
Among the disciples of the Xiaoyao School, he is the youngest and most talented one, and among the Xiaoyao School, he has always been the most gentle and kind.
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and a generation of new people replaces old people. It's a beautiful saying, but it's also an old saying. But vulgar and old-fashioned words are usually very reasonable. Otherwise, these words would not have been passed down so old and so beautiful.
The Xiaoyao faction also adheres to this principle, but it is a pity that the country is a generation of talented people, but the Xiaoyao faction is a generation of old people to replace the old, and the martial arts of the Xiaoyao faction are miscellaneous and difficult to learn.
The key is that the Xiaoyao faction is naturally based on Xiaoyao, and although the master is full of martial arts, he can't ask his apprentices to learn.
The martial arts of the Carefree School are as much as you can learn by yourself, all by talent, diligence, and creation.
His elder brother, who was over the age of six, had a gray beard and hair, and once asked him, "How can a character like you still learn a good martial arts?" Is there any trick?
Of course, Chu Qiushui shook his head, in fact, even he didn't know how to learn it, the master always praised him for his good life, but how could he be exiled from the Loose Sect since he was a child.
Indifference is the secret to practicing the martial arts of the carefree school, otherwise how can it be carefree?
It's just that in recent years, he has always done what he wants to do, and sometimes even he has begun to doubt himself.
People are like this, once life is too easy and smooth, they think about many things beyond their own ideas, but there are often many wonderful and interesting coincidences in life, and the eyes of great painters are often not very good, and the ears of great musicians are often not very good.
Chu Qiushui's personality is the best among his brothers and sisters, but he is the most nosy, and prefers to explore the trails, he doesn't necessarily like what others like, but he always likes what others don't like.
Lu Changfeng has been missing for almost two months, disappearing without a trace, and the people in the rivers and lakes who disappeared are about to forget him, the more this is the case, but it arouses Chu Qiushui's desire to find Lu Changfeng.
Chu Qiushui is good at martial arts but is afraid of killing, he was very uncomfortable after hearing the name of Li Wuning's blood sword for the first time, although he was not afraid, but he was very uncomfortable when he saw Li Wuning, especially when he saw Li Wuning's dark and ruthless eyes in Dali Temple.
When I think about it, I feel like I have a pair of eyes on my back.
Summer is coming, the rainy season seems to be about to pass, the light rain outside is dripping non-stop, and the sound of insects is constantly chirping, so that Chu Qiushui can't sleep anymore.
Although the bed is big and comfortable, it can help people who always have something in their hearts.
In the past few days, he has been trying to find the missing Lu Changfeng, and slowly searched along Luoyang to the east, hoping to find Lu Changfeng and Hu Miji.
I always tell myself in my heart that I don't want to meet the bad people who give me a headache,
The fact that people kill a lot of people is always terrifying.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, the more headaches he had, the more painful he became, and his head began to hurt when he just walked to a humble restaurant in the countryside near the East China Sea.
He bent down and walked in, asked for a hand-torn chicken, charcoal-grilled kingfish, and ordered a pot of freshly brewed wine, and as soon as he sat down, the door curtain was raised, but his most annoying pair of dark eyes were at the door.
I don't know if Li Wuning wants to find anything, walking to such a remote place, he will walk in after a little hesitation outside the door, and he swept it with the corner of his eye, and sat opposite him.
Chu Qiushui really didn't want to see it, not because he couldn't afford it, but because this kind of person really gave him a headache.
I didn't want to meet someone but I just met him, and Chu Qiushui decided that he didn't want to do it this time.
Not only is he respectful, but he also has an amiable smile. It's hard to imagine that such a person would pour himself wine.
Li Wuning looked Chu Qiushui up and down, as if this arrogant young man didn't know each other after more than a month, but fortunately, Chu Qiushui didn't mind, and said, I really don't want to fight, it's really boring.
Hearing this, Li Wuning smiled, and Li Wuning smiled to mean that Chu Qiushui was already a friend.
Chu Qiushui drank wine while looking at the dim skyline in the distance.
Outside, there was a tall forest as far as the eye could see, and as I drank and drank, I suddenly shivered, sighed, and said, "This is a small village. There are many insects and snakes in the mountains, let's go and see if we can find a hostel. β
Li Wuning smiled and said: "In this kind of poor and remote land, where will there be a hotel, let's find a farmer's house to live with a few copper plates." β
The two drank a lot of wine and staggered out all the way.
In front of the hotel is a huge stone field, and the rain has not gone away, but the sun is shining at this time. I saw several young splashes standing in the shade of the green in front of the hotel, bowing their heads and talking mysteriously: "Do you know that there is a beautiful girl on the other side of the mountain who is almost dying?"
Another splasher who had never been there asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?" How beautiful can it be, and it can be more beautiful than the two flowers in our village?"
The splasher swore earlier: "Of course we saw it with our own eyes." That's a man and a woman, that woman, oops, it looks like ten two flowers can't be compared, and no one can stand it. That man, tall and imposing, I don't dare to mess with it......"
Another pranky leader said disdainfully: "Aren't they just two handsome people, what are they?"
The man said angrily: "Don't you believe it? Last time, many people saw it, and the man turned over the most terrible of us with just a few fingers. β
As he spoke, he pointed to a person in the distance: "That demon boy was there last time, and he saw it that day, I don't believe you can ask yourself!"
Chu Qiushui heard them talk about the past, and they were all very similar to the Lu Changfeng and Hu Miji they were looking for.
At this time, where can I bear it, I walked up in one step, and said to the speaker: "Dare to ask this little brother with a big name? Where is the beautiful girl you just said? How can you see it?"
This group of people is usually a little scoundrel who bullies their parents and idleness in the neighborhood, where is the thing to do business. Seeing that Chu Qiushui was dressed cleanly and well-faced, and dressed as a son-in-law, he smiled and said: "This son-in-law, if you want us to talk, you can definitely say it, if you want to see a beautiful girl, there must be a reward?"
Talking in his mouth here, he made a throwing gesture with his hand to show Chu Qiushui, but he wanted silver taels.
Although Chu Qiushui was unhappy in his heart, he would not be angry with a bunch of scoundrels. There must still be broken silver in his purse, and he doesn't want to be too presumptuous in public, so he took out a little bit of loose silver and put it in his hands.
The splashy suddenly said with a happy face: "The little one is called Xue Liang, I don't know the son, what do you want to know?"
Chu Qiushui smiled and said, "You carefully explain the matter of meeting that couple, and then tell me where you met the beautiful girl." β
Xue Liang pointed to a squatting person in the shade of a tree in the distance with his hand and said, "This master, everything I know is what I heard from him, and he saw it with his own eyes."
Chu Qiushui snorted in his nose, but it was inconvenient for him to attack for this bit of silver, so he walked quickly to the place under the shade of the tree, and was about to open his mouth to ask.
The puffy laughed and said, "The pretty girl can't talk nonsense, you can't reward him, I have to reward him!"
Chu Qiushui was unhappy in his heart, but he was silent, and took out a little loose silver tael casually, and gave this splash skin again.
Seeing that he was generous and kind-looking, his appetite grew, and he said lazily: "Those are two people, a man and a woman." β
Chu Qiushui asked, "And then?"
The splash stretched out his hand again, and said with a hippie smile: "Silver!"
Chu Qiushui was angry in his heart, and he had no intention of entanglement, so he took out some loose pieces and said, "Now you can make it clear?"
This splash usually has a few splashy brothers, watching Chu Qiushui's scattered silver flowers handed over little by little, his eyes turned red, and they all surrounded Chu Qiushui and shouted: "Ask for a reward!"
There are even a few people who are eager to try, and it seems that they are going to go over and grab it if they don't give it.
Chu Qiushui couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and said, "You say it first, and I'll give you the silver after you finish speaking." Naturally, he was used to splashing skin next to him, and he laughed loudly.
This splash skin put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, pointed to the small purse in Chu Qiushui's arms and said, "Give me all this, and I will say it all." β
Chu Qiushui frowned, and thought: "It's not easy to earn this silver, and it will take a lot of time for you to give it away, how can you give it away casually, but if you use force to bully a person who doesn't know martial arts, it will be against the way of chivalry......"
Thinking about it like this, he was hesitating, and he was already impatient to hear it, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he had twisted the skinny arm, and with a slight force, he pouted the person lightly, how could an arm bear the weight of a person's body, only to hear the sound of "Kala", and the arm was broken.
This splash is used to bullying people, how can anyone bully him, where can he bear such pain, he opened his mouth and howled, and he started to do it without saying a word, and he also shouted and shouted to strengthen his courage, some people raised their flat shoulders, and some even felt out knives.
Li Wuning sneered, didn't look at it much, and gave a kick to the side of the bully, and gave a kick to the buttocks, this one didn't figure out what was going on, but he fell out like a cloud, rolled out of the hospital and broke his two hands.
When they heard the news, many villagers rushed over, and when they heard the scolding of the "ruffians and hooligans", they didn't make a sound when they saw that their arms were twisted, and some of them laughed. It can be seen that these pimpies usually don't do anything good.
When Chu Qiushui saw this kind of scene, he knew that it would be useless to be polite, so he stepped forward with a force on his waist, looked at this splash and said lightly: "Boy, are you still in pain?
One of his arms was broken, and the pain was unbearable, not because he was afraid that he had already fainted, but at this time, he was terrified, his legs trembled, where could he still walk, and his mouth trembled and said: "Hero, hero...... Spare ......"
Li Wuning shouted: "Don't you want to break your arm?"
The splash was so frightened that he trembled all over, and said astringently: "That day, I went to the other end of the woods with a few people from the village, and saw a couple of men and women, who were really beautiful, and we couldn't help but go up and tease......
Chu Qiushui interjected: "Is that man very tall, walker, and the woman's appearance is very gorgeous, very good-looking, but his eyes are blue, not from the Central Plains?"
The silent nod again and again, "So you've already seen them." β
Chu Qiushui asked, "Where did you see that pair of men and women, say quickly, say quickly?"
This ploppy said: "In the depths of the woods in front, there is no village or land in front and back, and the man has set up a wooden table to sell water, and he can also sell a few cents a day."
Chu Qiushui suddenly remembered something and said, "That man, but he is holding a cane and can't walk?"
Splashy shook his head and said, "No...... The man not only does not use crutches, but walks quite chicly" and opened his mouth to speak, wanting to justify and please a few words, his mouth just opened, and before the words came out, the two people who were clearly standing in front of him were gone, and his face was as frightened as earth, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing again and again, and his heart said that he should change his evil and be a good person.
The couple was very similar to Lu Changfeng and Hu Miji, Chu Qiushui and Li Wuning had wind under their feet, and hurriedly walked over there.
Chu Qiushui asked as he ran, "Did you say that person was Lu Changfeng?"
Li Wuning shook his head and said: "Lu Changfeng was injured by the Night Emperor's cold ice palm that day, and he was extremely seriously injured, his muscles and veins were bloody, and he couldn't go down, so it was impossible to recover so quickly, not only could he stand up, but his martial arts also came back." β
Chu Qiushui groaned: "It's not Lu Changfeng, who has the ability to easily subdue such a splashing crowd with one finger?"
Li Wuning shook his head and said, "It's not clear. We'll be there in a moment, and we'll see it when we see it. β
The two of them worked harder, no matter how good Chu Qiushui's temperament was, he couldn't hold it back, so he simply performed light skills, and his clothes were fluttering.
Li Wuning used all his strength, Fang chased after him, and admired Chu Qiushui's light skills from the bottom of his heart, and the martial arts of the Carefree Sect were indeed extraordinary.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at this place where some ordinary crops were planted on the ground, and there were all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the table.
Chu Qiushui fell into deep thought: "People with such martial arts are really rare, listening to the splash skin said that this person is tall, so there should be only Lu Changfeng, but how can Lu Changfeng recover his martial arts so quickly?
In the distance, Li Wuning shouted: "Look, there is a small hut here!"
Chu Qiushui hurried over, but there was no trace of it inside, and the house was already empty.
The last rays of the sun were shining on the porch behind the wooden house and on the metasequoia, and the old wooden pillars outside the corridor seemed to shine brightly.
In the evening breeze of July, the fragrance of leaves from the distant mountains is refreshing.
Jiang Qingxia didn't speak, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, he seemed to have found out that he was an unwelcome guest. For unwelcome guests, it's better to be interesting and keep your mouth shut.
The woods were silent, no one could be seen, no human voice could be heard. This is a lonely place, and lonely people are used to being quiet.
Chu Qiushui suddenly sighed softly and said, "I finally understand one thing now!"
Li Wuning said: "What's the matter?"
Chu Qiushui said: "You do have a lot of methods!"
Li Wuning admitted: "It's not that I have a lot of ways, it's because I'm from a green forest and I'm used to seeing a lot of rebellion!"
Chu Qiushui didn't speak, looking at the air raid sprinkled by Tianyang through the woods like golden threads, his heart was full of joy: "I also like this place, maybe I will live here in the future!"
Li Wuning laughed and said: "This place not only has good people, but the weather is good, but there is no wine to drink and no good food to eat. β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What if I can't catch your sword?"
Chu Qiushui said lightly: "There is nothing wrong with ordinary life, but it's a pity that I am Chu Qiushui!"
Li Wuning smiled bitterly: "You are not Chu Qiushui, and it is unlikely that you will live an ordinary life, people can't bear loneliness!"
Chu Qiushui also smiled bitterly and said, "I've just experienced such a thing, and I'm already tired of this kind of rivers and lakes." β
Li Wuning said: "We have a sword, the sword is the rivers and lakes, we can't go out!"
Chu Qiushui said: "Yes, Lu Changfeng can't live this kind of life, he has a good martial arts, a position of Dali Temple, he has to seek government in his position." To live, we have to do something and fight. β
Li Wuning suddenly found that Chu Qiushui, Luo Bing and himself had a lot in common. They are very serious people who live very seriously and are very proud. They don't pay much attention to people's way of lifeβwhether it's someone else's way of living or their own, it's exactly the same.
Most of them still live for others, because their way of living is to make others less trouble.
Chu Qiushui suddenly felt that this bleak and empty forest made his throat itch, and sang loudly: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains, why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass." This is a famous sentence of the Tang Dynasty Wang Zhilian.
"The day is at the end of the mountain, the Yellow River flows into the sea, and I want to be poor for thousands of miles and go to the next level. He was singing an inspirational sad song again, and after singing one, he sang another one, as if his throat was itching terribly, which is also Wang Zhilian's famous sentence.
There was silence in the gray woods, except for a small cabin that looked relatively new.
The gray-white wooden planks still seemed to exude a faint scent of wood, and only a rotten tunic that looked like a green dress hung diagonally on the hanging rope outside the wooden house, under which hung such a woman's raged clothes and an old dead wind lamp, which glowed white.
The lantern kept swaying in the summer wind, as if he was sighing like an old man, sighing why so many people in this world are willing to go to the soup for women?
