I like to pick leaves and plantains to cover the rain, and I am angry to hold the sword and control the water in the Xianjiang River (3)

The lively and extraordinary Drunken Immortal Building did not stop drinking and chatting because of such an episode, and the guests who came and went just thought that it was another poor sour man who wanted to eat swan meat.

The only thing that made people a little unwilling was that when Tian Tian girl stroked the piano, she cut her finger carelessly, leaving a deep scar, and the old bustard hurriedly ordered someone to bandage it. He silently recited: "Ancestor, why is there a mess at this time." ”

Miss Tian Tian, who was born with a charming appearance, smiled apologetically at the old bustard beside her, and said slowly: "The slave is sick, please forgive me, I shouldn't be able to serve Master He tonight." ”

When the old bustard heard this, his originally concerned look suddenly sank. But he still didn't have a seizure, but he persuaded softly: "Serving the eldest prince is not for you to work hard and get out of the way." ”

But seeing that Miss Tian Tian was silent and did not respond, she realized at that time. Han scolded in a cold voice: "Just a cheap bone like you, do you think your body is worth a few dollars? Do you really want to set up a chastity archway? None of the women who walked into our drunken fairy building could go out cleanly." And this time is different from the past, other guests are just that, there is still room for maneuver, but Master He, we can't afford to eat the drunken immortal building, could it be that the man just messed up your heart and made you feel a little chaste?"

After hearing this, Tian Tian, who was standing on the side without saying a word, suddenly had a blurred look in his eyes, and was poked in pain in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head.

After thinking about it, the old bustard just smiled sadly and said slowly: "If you don't accompany Master He today, then even if the man outside the door comes with a thousand taels of silver tomorrow, don't even think about taking back your deed of sale!"

Tian Tian looked outside the door, thinking that in the past few years, the man always came to the restaurant at dusk to order a pot of the cheapest turbid wine, and then sat on the side, not looking at the other women who spoke sweetly to him, just drinking by herself, and when she finished playing the first song of the day, the man drank the rest of the wine and got up to leave.

For so many years, this is also the only person who came to their drunken fairy building, did not chat with women, and only came to drink and enjoy the piano.

Later, I heard that the man's name was Shi Yishui, who was a stonemason on the other side of the river, who didn't talk much, didn't live thoroughly, and didn't have that exquisite ability. However, there is a habit that cannot be shaken by thunder, which is to cross the river by boat on time every evening, and then cross the river again for about half an hour. In the past few years, no matter the cold or heat, it has not changed.

Later, I heard that He Qizhu, the younger brother of He Dagongzi, went bankrupt and wanted to build a flood-resistant dam for the people, and also build a stone arch bridge so that the people could cross the river.

Many people scoff at this, because he was born in a partial house, and was not treated well by the people in the house, if it weren't for his brother He Qiming thinking about brotherhood, when he was in charge of the family, he gave him two money for the rest of his life.

The common people only want to buy the face of the people's hearts and minds when they want to buy the face of the people, which is nothing more than to be able to have a few more bargaining chips when they are filial and honest in the future. But what I didn't expect was that the dam was completed as promised, and the stone arch bridge spanning 300 zhang also rose in front of everyone's eyes. Immediately shocked the people's jaws, and the entire Xianjiang County praised this handsome man with both talent and virtue.

And the stonemason Wang Yishui outside, is He Qizhu's right-hand man, perhaps because of the dull temperament that does not talk to others, He Qizhu is in the picture, and he thinks that he is a person who is willing to bury his head in work, so he asked him to take care of the dam and the arch bridge.

Just as the string Oiran and the old bustard were at a stalemate, a small servant's loud voice came from the drunken fairy building.

"Master He has arrived!"

After that, a man with a lofty instrument slowly got off the sedan chair, and the little guy had already opened the oil-paper umbrella and waited in front of the sedan chair for a long time, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

The old bustard hated Tian Tian and then walked out with a seductive smile, and gave a blessing to the comer, which was already charming, and the slightly old bustard tried his best to give himself a smile that he thought was like a flower.

He Qiming entered the door and asked straight to the point: "Where is Miss Tian Tian?" Seeing that the old bustard was speechless, the man said thoughtfully: "Why is there no sound of the piano in the Drunken Immortal Building today? This is not like the famous Drunken Immortal Building." ”

The old bustard suddenly turned from smiling to gloomy, and complained to He Qiming: "Tian Tian is sick, I will find some other girls to serve my son tonight." So he hurriedly beckoned a few girls to come to He Qiming.

He Qiming laughed at this, drank a glass of wine, took out a valuable antique calligraphy and painting from his bosom and put it in front of the bustard, and played with the taste: "Is this medicine enough to change a healthy Tian Tian girl?"

The old bustard was overjoyed when he saw this, and took the calligraphy and painting to look at it carefully, but sighed again, and said with a sad face: "Mr. He doesn't know, Tian Tian has been ill recently, and I ask Mr. He to be here today." Then he pointed to the many women beside him, and said respectfully to He Gongzi: "Although these girls are not as beautiful and ingenious as Tian Tian's girls, none of the girls in our drunken fairy building are rouge fans." Even if you take one out of your hand, it is a beauty that can overshadow other women. ”

He Qiming saw that the old bustard, who had always seen money, was unprecedentedly willing to meet this kind of rare calligraphy and painting, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then I am not too difficult, I have eaten enough delicacies from the mountains and seas, and today I will try these radishes and cabbages with the attitude of trying them." ”

Seeing that He Gongzi didn't care, the old bustard was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the girls to stand together and let them pick up.

Tian Tian, who had returned to the house, put the broken string piano on the sandalwood table, and regardless of the injury on his hand, he was carefully continuing the strings. At this time, someone pushed the door in, and Tian Tian looked up to see that it was the bustard mother who had entered the door.

Tian Tian was in the house just now, because the bustard was loud on weekdays, he had already heard the conversation between the bustard's mother and He Gongzi clearly, but now he looked at the bustard's mother and couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Tian Tian didn't speak first, the old bustard sat on the edge of her bed and said: "That kind of hobby of seducing and persuading prostitutes to be good is what men do, I am just an old and decrepit old woman, but I can't tell you anything good." It's just that after so many years, even if you have a dog, you can develop feelings. ”

Seeing that the woman was crying, the old bustard continued: "Since you were sold into our Drunken Immortal Building, you have that innate talent, because you have been innocent for many years because of your cultivation on the piano. But our drunken immortal building is the land of wind and moon, and the people who come and go are either dignitaries and dignitaries, or the famous green forest men in the rivers and lakes, all of whom we can't afford to provoke. I feel in my heart that there is nothing to be sorry for you, who told you to die badly?"

The woman still didn't speak, but her heart was on the broken string, and her eyes were gloomy.

The old bustard poured a cup of vegetarian tea and drank it all, and the old bustard, who had always been bitter and mean to these women in the drunken fairy building, said softly: "We are a dusty woman, the most heartfelt, and what we are looking forward to is the word 'love', but the ancient love word is the most hurtful, especially hurting the dusty woman like us who is regarded as a plaything by men, and the love word is a big taboo that cannot be touched." ”

When the woman heard this, she wept silently. Tears fall on the strings, wetting the strings. Seeing this, the old bustard sighed and said slowly: "Tomorrow, the strings will be continued, and the man will come to redeem you, so he will go far away, and never go back to this realm, looking bad." ”

After that, the bustard turned around and went out, leaving only a woman with tears like rain to hide her face and weep.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, before dawn, there was a burst of roosters and dogs, and then I only heard someone shouting in the drunken fairy building: "The river is broken, and it collapses for thousands of miles." ”

The little doctor rubbed his eyes in a trance, only to see that he had a foot on the face of the second master, and the second master looked loveless.

"Awake?" The second master smiled strongly, looking at the little doctor, the little doctor said listlessly: "It's too noisy outside, what's wrong?"

The second master lifted the little doctor upside down in the air with the little doctor's feet and scolded: "Is this what I am talking about?"

At this time, the door was pushed open in a hurry, and the people who came were Lu Wenping and Wang Jingdao, seeing that the little doctor looked deflated, and he didn't have the leisure to have fun, Wang Jingdao said to the second master: "The river outside has burst the embankment, and the newly built stone arch bridge has disappeared overnight, and it has been washed away by the river at all." ”

Then Zhong Liyu also came to the room, but he didn't speak, just looked at the rolling Xianjiang through the window.

"Let's go, let's see. The second master threw the little doctor on the ground and said indifferently.

The little doctor who was smashed to pieces didn't care about anything else, and listened to the crowd outside and the sound of the waves, so he crawled and followed.

When everyone came to the riverside, yesterday's daunting 300-zhang stone arch bridge has disappeared, and the river is surging, and there seems to be a trend of intensification. And the riverside is the ghost crying wolf, many ordinary people because of the place where they live, the terrain is low, the bottom of the family has been washed away by the river, leaving only one life.

Lu Wenping looked at the Xianjiang River, which was still full of interest yesterday and was full of poetry, was out of control today, and he was a little frightened in his heart, and said to the second master: "This river is endless, the higher and higher it is, I am afraid that the people of this county may be implicated at that time." Second master, why don't you use your swordsmanship in Lanxichi again to intercept the river with one sword?"

Wang Jingdao shook his head and said: "Martial arts cultivation, doing that kind of thing against the sky is too hurtful to the foundation, we still sweep the snow in front of the door by ourselves, and don't care about the frost on the tiles of others." Let's go!"

But the little doctor's mind was not here, only to see a corpse on the edge of the Xianjiang River pierced by the corner of a boulder, and then hung on it in an extremely strange posture, allowing the river to rush. The little doctor squinted and looked closely, only to find that it was the beggar who braved the rain yesterday, and he was immediately panicked.

The second master said indifferently: "Even if I can break the river with a sword, I can only break it for a while, but I can't break it for a lifetime." If you really want to do this, within three days, you will be consumed by this water, and what will happen then?"

Zhong Liyu heard this from the sidelines, like thunder, although she had heard the name of Liu Nanfeng before, but now this person stood in front of her in person, and it made her unbelievable to say this kind of thing, this kind of river manpower can be blocked for a moment is unparalleled, and this man actually dares to say that he can block it for three days and three nights.

At this time, the little doctor pointed to the corpse, and everyone's eyes were removed, and on the edge of an inconspicuous Xianjiang River, a terrible picture of a beggar's corpse moving with the river came into view.

The second master looked at the corpse, and remembered that there was once a mansion in Pengcheng, the land of Gyeonggi, Mexico, where the officials of the DPRK and China stepped through the threshold, even in the cold winter when the dew was frozen, there were still people waiting in front of the door before dawn, making this mansion the only place other than the palace hall that did not need to clear snow in winter.

And this place is the famous Liufu in Gyeonggi.

The corpse floating in the river in front of him was the heir of an ordinary fourth-grade official among the many officials at that time. Liu Nanfeng still remembers that because this person was disrespectful to himself, he was beaten back by the ruthless father who brought him. Along the way, the blood was stained with red and white snow, and the four-grade father really could do it, and there was no one to help his son along the way, and there were even people to help, and the four-grade father had to blow his beard and stare at him, and scold.

I heard that as soon as "Gengmao Change" came out, I moved my family to retire here. Although one of the changes is, "The title is not hereditary, and those who have no great merits in the three generations of the descendant clan will not be honored by the imperial court." At the beginning, some loyal ministers in the court complained.

And this son's family is three generations without great achievements, so they came here to retire. But even so, it will not let this noble son go to beggar, which official has not left himself a way back for three generations? Especially in the later period of the first emperor's reign, it is said that the etiquette is quiet, but in fact, the etiquette and music have collapsed. The money they embezzled will be wiped out in one generation?

Liu Nanfeng looked at the corpse, standing on the bank of the river and looking at the waves and waves, his expression suddenly changed, since there is a little cause and effect, I once saw him crawling back from his own Liufu, so I will leave him a whole corpse today!

Subsequently, the second master was as light as a swallow, treading the waves, and the Xianjiang River could not hurt him in the slightest. The second master stood on the boulder, picked up the corpse with his sword, and then returned to the shore.

But he said to the people who were standing by the shore, "Bury this man, and the reward is two taels of silver." ”

The people on the shore suddenly rushed to receive this reward. At this moment, a man dressed in Xiumei's wide robe and big sleeves walked out of the Drunken Immortal Building and approached with a graceful attitude. These people couldn't help but disperse suddenly, who doesn't know that this is the famous He Dagong of our Xianjiang County?

The old ministers of Xianjiang County have changed batch after batch, but the He family, which has been rooted here for generations, has indeed survived the wind and rain, and sits alone on the top of the mountain. Although the He family is not a high-ranking official, it is indeed a child of a rich family here, precisely because the He family shipbuilding industry is in charge of the lifeblood of the river here, and the family is dominant.

He Qiming stepped forward, but said respectfully: "The chivalrous man is good, I admire him, I will order someone to bury this person today, and I don't need to pay for it." ”

He Qiming naturally knew this corpse, and wasn't this corpse the most miserable family that he thought was rich and robbed? Because of the Liu family's "Gengmao Reform Law" in the land of Gyeonggi, his family could not receive any court money, and his family was in the middle of the road, and since he was a child, he was pampered and habitual, and the habit of spending a lot of money made his family end up in four walls, and because he had no skills, he had to beg for a living after he fell into despair.

But the man with the sword in front of him only smiled: "It's not necessary, this kind of small matter is not bothered." ”

He Qiming, who has always been flying and domineering in Xianjiang County, laughed it off, and then turned around and ordered someone to bury the body. Even if the little guy next to him was reluctant, he agreed with a smile and hurriedly went to bury the body.

He Qiming saw that the little guy was going to make arrangements, so he turned around and said to the second master: "In the next life, I like you chivalrous people who walk the rivers and lakes, and you should be a model for my generation, so it is better to go to my house to talk about it." ”

Of course, this shrewd prince He will not go to the dog to get a mouse and meddle in things. He has been in Xianjiang County all his life, and of course he doesn't know Liu Nanfeng, who only hears his name but doesn't see him. So now he is only a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and he has picked up a treasure, if he can bring this sword-bearing man who walks on the ground in the rolling immortal river under his command, it is a business that only makes money and does not lose money, but whether he bids high or not.

Even if this group of people has already made up their minds, it is a big deal to send them a big ship and let them go, which is also a good fate.
