Volume 1: The Fisherman Chapter 27: Busking
When Lu Yi returned to Lao Huang's house, the east was already white, and the sky was about to dawn.
The first intimate contact with the girl made him actually very excited, and he couldn't help but recall Sun Yuan'er's shy and happy face in his mind, and her faint girlish body fragrance seemed to float on the end of his nose, and he felt that he still couldn't calm down after washing, so he simply took out a black knife and began to practice knife skills in the yard.
According to the requirements of my mother when I was a child, I started from the basic chopping and slashing practice at the beginning of the road, and after more than ten years of persistence, these simple movements have long been extremely proficient, and the knife technique can also be easily completed at one time, and various knife techniques are more like an instinctive reaction under a habit.
After a while, the sky brightened slightly, Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo also yawned and walked out, the two were not surprised that Lu Yi got up early, he was already used to it in Lujia Village, Lu Yi could take them up the mountain and down to the sea during the day, and be naughty, but the practice that thunder could not move every morning was never lazy.
Xiao Yu'er has also gotten up to practice, in fact, he is the first batch of people in Lujia Village to learn the water-breaking knife method and the Great Sumeru Decision, so many years have been practicing diligently, but there is no chance to fight with people, and he doesn't know how he cultivates, but he has already started a family, and the number of times the dream of the rivers and lakes appears in his mind is getting less and less, and it is not as good as the expectation when he was a child, everyone has different responsibilities and missions, Xiao Yuer feels that taking care of Yinyuer and the child is far more important than those ideas in his mind, the reason for his perseverance is that one is habitual, and the other is simply to strengthen the body。
The Great Sumeru is a very superior internal strength method, which can indeed improve the physique and strengthen the body, which the young people in the village are convinced of, and everyone is indeed light and healthy after practice, and there is little pain.
When Uncle Lu got up, everyone had already finished practicing kung fu, everyone ate white porridge with pickles at Lao Huang's house, and then according to Uncle Lu's explanation, they each began to go out to purchase goods, and they would embark on the return journey in a few days.
Lujia Village does not need to bring back too much silver, which is not much help for their lives, but some daily necessities are more indispensable, of course, most of the things Sun Da Shopkeeper will prepare carefully, and the excess silver money will be used to buy some things that Datong Commercial Bank does not have in the town.
In the morning, several people performed their duties, and soon purchased all the materials urgently needed in the village, and happened to meet Sun Da's shopkeeper on the way, who was taking his men to the homes of those who had been stolen last night to return the gold and silver, accompanied by the town's Lizheng.
Seeing everyone, the shopkeeper of Sun Da hurriedly introduced Lizheng Yang Xianzhu to everyone.
Yang Xianzhu is in his forties, dressed as a middle-aged scholar, with a mediocre appearance, not wearing official uniforms, and not having any formal shelf, politely greeted everyone, and said apologetically:
"There was a series of thefts in the town last night, fortunately, there were passing chivalrous men who took action to cause no losses, you came all the way, you must also take care of your belongings, don't be taken advantage of by thieves. ”
Fifth Uncle Lu nodded respectfully and said:
"Don't dare to be sloppy, thank you Lord Yang for your concern. ”
Yang Xianzhu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"A little Lizheng, still a native of the town, where can he afford the word adult, Brother Lu is also an acquaintance in the town, don't be so polite. ”
A few words made everyone's hearts warm, and there was no more embarrassment when they just met.
When the shopkeeper Sun saw Lu Yi standing on the side, he found that his expression was light, and there was no strangeness on his face, and there was no trace of color, so he couldn't help but praise secretly.
After the greetings, Yang Xianzhu was busy going to the stolen house to have a look, so he didn't stay long, and left with the shopkeeper Sun.
When the group went far, Uncle Lu sighed:
"I didn't expect the snitch to come to the town, it's really not peaceful. ”
Xiao Yu'er comforted:
"Don't worry, others don't know, you don't know that a few of us have a little martial arts, ordinary thieves are really not afraid, and we don't have anything valuable. ”
Fifth Uncle Lu nodded and took the lead to walk back.
After lunch, seeing that it was still early, Uncle Lu gave each of the three teenagers a few taels of silver, and asked them to go to the town by themselves, and it was difficult to come out for a trip, so they couldn't treat them badly, but when they heard that there were thieves in the town last night, they told everyone to be careful when they went out, if the silver was lost, it would be lost, and they should never conflict with people.
After thanking the five teenagers, the five grandfathers happily went out on the street with the silver.
Lu Yi was inspired by the fight with Lu Fei last night, and wanted to see if the town could buy something that could be used as a hidden weapon, and it was inevitable that he would fight head-on with people and enemies, but sometimes with more means against the enemy, wouldn't it be more likely to win?
The shops on the town are varied, and the goods are also dazzling, but they are all shops that mainly deal in medicinal materials and game in the mountains.
Lu Yi didn't sleep all night last night, and in the morning he helped to purchase goods before and after running, and he was a little sleepy at this time.
Lu Xiaobo looked at Lu Yi who was far away and said:
"Something is wrong with this guy, when did you see him yawn in broad daylight?"
Lu Yiwen nodded sympathetically.
"Leave him alone, let him sleep for a while, and let's go to the smithy and see how the weapons are doing." ”
The two of them walked all the way to the blacksmith's shop, and when they passed the only intersection in the town, they suddenly heard the sound of cheers and applause.
"Let's go, squeeze in and see. ”
After a lot of effort, it was hard to separate the crowd, and it turned out that there was a pair of grandchildren performing on the street.
A thin rope was pulled between the two wooden stakes, about a height of more than a foot from the ground, and a girl with two bun heads was about eight or nine years old, and she looked very cute and cute, she was wearing a set of red practice clothes, holding a long sword, and was dancing on the rope.
I saw the sword light flowing, like an antelope hanging its horns, and it was quite skillful in one move, especially when the girl's toes were slightly on the rope, and the whole body jumped high with the elasticity of the rope, the crowd burst into exclamations, and some girls and women covered their eyes nervously.
The girl adjusted her body in mid-air unhurriedly, like a dexterous bird, she steadily gathered her sword on the rope and stood still, and after making a gesture to everyone, she landed on a beautiful backflip, and bowed again, her chest kept rising and falling, and her smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, obviously very tired.
The crowd cheered one after another, and they all applauded and applauded the girl, and then someone threw copper coins into the open space, and after a rough calculation, they earned two or three taels of silver in a while.
Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo were also applauding desperately, seeing others throwing copper coins into the venue, they reached into their arms and wanted to pay some rewards.
"Where's my money? Why is it gone?"
Lu Yiwen touched his arms several times, but he didn't find the silver given by his grandfather.
Lu Xiaobo was about to laugh at Lu Yiwen, but his face froze, and it turned out that his few taels of scattered silver were gone.
Hearing Lu Yiwen's shout, some people in the crowd exclaimed that the money bag was gone, and for a while, the crowd was in chaos, noisy, and scolding!
At this moment, I don't know who shouted: "The grandfather and grandson who are selling art must be in the same group as the one who stole the wallet!"
The crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone gathered the grandfather and grandson in the middle, and there was a lot of gossip for a while, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
The grandfather and grandson of the performers were speechless, and they were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
Lu Xiaobo suddenly saw two men in Tsing Yi wearing hats squeezing out of the crowd, seemingly trying to slip away while the crowd was chaotic, and he felt loudly:
"The thief who stole the wallet is over there, don't be fooled!"
People are a very strange group, and most people temporarily lose the ability to think independently when they encounter a sudden emergency, so people who can influence the discourse can often easily take the opportunity to incite the crowd to achieve their own goals.
Hearing Lu Xiaobo's shout, everyone quieted down and looked in the direction of his finger.
The two men in Tsing Yi stiffened, turned their heads viciously and glared at Lu Xiaobo, and then pulled out their legs and started running.
Lu Yiwen was furious, got up and chased, and just took a few steps, a kick suddenly appeared in the crowd.
Lu Yiwen was caught off guard, his figure staggered, and when he looked back, where could he find the person who stretched his legs, but he reacted in his heart, there must be accomplices who fled the two in the crowd.
After such a delay, the two men in Tsing Yi had already disappeared.
failed to catch the thief, the crowd slowly dispersed in the scolding, and after a while, the street was deserted, leaving the grandson and Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo.
The money was lost, the two were not depressed, and when they were about to go back, the grandson who was performing came to the two to thank them.
"Two sons, thank you just now for breaking the siege, otherwise I really don't know what will happen. ”
The old man was not tall, but he was in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and his gray hair was tied in a simple bun, and he looked kind.
"You don't need to be polite, we are just helping ourselves. ”
Lu Xiaobo waved his hand, secretly calling out in his heart that he was unlucky, walking in the rivers and lakes was really lively and couldn't be seen, but he still had a good impression of the two of them, especially the girl's swordsmanship, which deserved to be pleasing to the eye.
At this time, the old man looked around, and reminded in a low voice:
"The two sons still went home early, and the thieves who just stole the wallet should be some local ruffians, there are a lot of them, and they can't afford to offend, so it's better to be careful. ”
Lu Xiaobo thought to himself, it would be better if it was a local ruffian, dare to steal it from the master, and see that I don't dig three feet into the ground and find you out, otherwise the naughty trident in Lujia Village will be called in vain!
"Thank you for reminding me, our brothers are going home, and you should pack up and go back early. ”
After saying that, he hugged his fists and bent down to salute, and the old man hurriedly grabbed Lu Xiaobo's arm and helped the two of them up.
Lu Xiaobo pulled Lu Yiwen and was about to leave.
At this time, the little girl who had been looking at the two of them curiously came over with a handful of copper coins in her hands, and said timidly:
"Two brothers, thank you very much, your wallets have been stolen, these copper coins will be given to you to buy something to eat, don't go hungry. ”
Lu Yiwen touched the little girl's head and said softly:
"My brother lives not far away, and I don't need copper money. But thank you for your kindness. ”
The old man looked at his granddaughter lovingly, and said to Lu Yiwen and the others with a smile:
"Our grandson is from the Northwest Road, and he wandered all the way, and the two sons don't seem to be locals?
"Where is there a big name, my name is Lu Xiaobo, his name is Lu Yiwen, our house is not too far from the town, follow the adults in the family to the town to do something. ”
"Old Duanmu Fang, this is the granddaughter Duanmu Yu, Yu'er, don't give a salute to the little brother of the Lu family!"
The little girl named Duanmuyu put down the copper coin in her hand and saluted sideways seriously.
Lu Xiaobo also took Lu Yiwen to return the salute respectfully.
After chatting a few words, Lu Xiaobo was worried about the lost money, and pulled Lu Yiwen to say goodbye and leave, planning to call Shang Lu Yi to find Sun Yuan'er to inquire about who would often do these things in the town.
Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, Duanmu Fang pondered for a long time and muttered to himself:
"It doesn't make sense, how can it be the great Sumeru decision of the Nangong family? Could it be that the old man still perceives that it is wrong? Impossible? It can't be wrong, I really can't figure it out. ”
Duanmu Yu was accustomed to his grandfather's muttering, but when he heard the word Nangong family, he still asked curiously:
"Grandpa, what are you muttering about the Nangong family again?"
Duanmu Fang said kindly while packing up his things:
"How did you feel about the two little brothers just now?"
Duanmu Yu sat on a wooden box, opened a pink handkerchief with some pastries in it, twisted a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and replied vaguely:
"Very good, much better than those young ladies who wear gold and silver, and are dressed in fine clothes and fine food. ”
Duanmu Fang found it interesting and asked with a smile:
"Tell me, what's so good?"
Duanmu Yu puffed out his cheeks, wrinkled his good-looking eyebrows, thought about it and said:
"Clean. ”
Duanmu Fang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sighed:
"Yes, clean, what a simple word, why do so many people live into three words unclean?"
Duanmu Yu swallowed the pastry in a few bites, jumped off the box, and took out a delicate knife from a baggage.
The knife is about half a foot long, and the sparkling gems on the scabbard alone are worth a fortune.
Duanmuyu stretched his waist and shouted coquettishly:
"Grandpa!"
Duanmu Fang suddenly sank his face and said:
"No way!"
Duanmu Yu pouted, helplessly put the knife back into the baggage, and threw the baggage into the box heavily.
"Hmph, how long has it been since Yu'er fought!"
Duanmu Fang said helplessly:
"Don't worry, if Grandpa is not mistaken, those two people are practicing the secret of the Jiangnan Nangong family, and those ruffians are not their opponents!"
"Ahh
"So grandpa is also very strange! When will people who don't have the surname Nangong be able to practice the Great Sumeru Duel?"
Under the sunset, where are the grandfathers and grandsons still a little bit down.
