Volume 1: The Fisherman Chapter 26: The Night Walker
It's getting dark.
Uncle Lu and Xiao Yu'er waited until Lu Yiyi and his party came back and got up to say goodbye, they were going to visit Lao Huang tonight.
Sun Yuan'er looked at a few people who were far away, especially Lu Yixiao waved goodbye to her with a bright face, she touched the silver hairpin on her head, and laughed happily.
When the shopkeeper saw the look on his granddaughter's face, he regretted a little that he agreed to let a group of young men go out shopping in the afternoon.
So he coughed and said with a dark face:
"Don't look at it, the smile is so bad that the mouth is about to crack to the back of the head, a big girl doesn't know how to be reserved, grandpa wants to eat your cooking at night, why don't you go quickly?"
Sun Yuan'er made a grimace at her grandfather, said sweetly, and went to the back hall to cook for her grandfather.
Of course, the shopkeeper Sun Da's impression of Lu Yi is not bad, but on the other side is his own precious granddaughter, which is more important, so do you need to say more?
Lao Huang's yard is not big, the stone courtyard wall and the courtyard of Lujia Village don't look much different, there are two brick houses in the courtyard, one in front and one behind, and the rooms are spacious.
As soon as the group turned the corner, they saw Lao Huang sitting at the gate of the courtyard waiting, and Uncle Lu walked forward quickly, and said with gratitude and some complaints:
"Brother Huang, it's cold, what are you doing when you come out, don't you want your bones?"
Lao Huang patted his chest and said with a smile:
"My body is okay, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you old friends, so I have to come out and wait to rest assured, take a walk, go to the house and sit, I asked my wife to prepare wine and food. ”
An old table of eight immortals was full of dishes.
There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are all hand-burned by Lao Huang's wife, so they are even more precious.
At the instigation of Lao Huang, Lu Yi and the three also drank a little wine for the first time, and a glass was a little smoky.
Xiao Yu'er beckoned the three of them to rest in the room that had been cleaned up at the back, and then came out to accompany the two old men who were chatting.
Lao Huang has a son, who has been in the army for many years under the command of King Mu, but he is just a knife and pen official, he does not need to go into battle to kill the enemy, and his natural promotion is slow, he married a woman outside, settled in the suburbs of Beijiang County, and rarely comes back, his grandson and granddaughter are almost ten years old, and they have only brought back Fubo Town once.
So for so many years, in fact, the old couple has relied on each other.
Talking about his son, Lao Huang wiped his tears with the strength of wine, and Uncle Lu had no choice but to comfort him lightly.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs.
Lu Yi was actually not drunk, so he woke up after taking a nap, after all, he had practiced hard since he was a child, and he had a very solid foundation of internal skills, and after drinking a small glass of home-brewed rice wine that was not strong, he only felt that his body was slightly hot, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Leaning on the side of the bed, there was a sound of grinding his teeth like a blunt saw sawing tree in his ears, he was really a little upset, and he didn't feel sleepy anymore.
Reaching out and closing his mouth, after a few breaths, one turned over, and began to grind his teeth with his back to the road.
Lu Yi smiled bitterly, simply put on his clothes and gently pushed open the door, the night was already deep, the town was silent, and the moonlight was cold.
A chill hit, Lu Yi shivered, hurriedly closed the door gently, moved his hands and feet lightly in the yard, suddenly rose, his feet were slightly forced, and he lightly lifted a breath of true qi, and his body entered the swallow, and fell lightly on the roof.
In the middle of the moon, looking around, the whole Fubo town is quietly bathed in the elegant moonlight, and there is a special beauty at night in the hazy and hazy.
Lu Yi sat cross-legged on the roof, and it happened that the high canopy of a tall almond tree in the courtyard blocked the moonlight, shrouding his figure in a shadow.
After sitting for a while, Lu Yi felt a slight chill in his body, and was just about to go back to his room to sleep, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a black shadow flashing not far away.
Lu Yi turned his head, the figure did not move, and looked carefully, sure enough, there was a person dressed in black on a roof not far away, if it wasn't for a careful look, he wouldn't have noticed the existence of the other party at all.
The man in black obviously didn't expect that anyone would be able to spot him in such an inconspicuous town, pausing slightly on the roof and jumping off the yard like a big bird.
Lu had forgotten all the advice of his mother and elders early in the morning, and with great curiosity, he secretly touched the man in black when he entered the courtyard, but he did not appear rashly, but squatted down on a big tree on the edge of the courtyard.
The branches of the big trees are so dense that they may not be able to be found during the day, let alone at night.
After about a stick of incense, the man in black gently pushed open the door and rolled onto the roof, carrying a small package on his mobile phone.
It turned out to be the most common thief on the rivers and lakes.
The man in black sat down on the roof unhurriedly, opened the package in his hand, picked and picked it up, put a few taels of scattered silver into his arms, and said with a curse on his lips:
"The people in this town are really poor ghosts, and after a busy night, they are less than fifty taels of silver!"
Lu Yi secretly laughed in his heart, being a thief can still be as picky as him, I don't know if this is considered a master of art and bold.
The man in black threw away the package, stood up and looked around, his gaze as if he had stopped as he swept over the tree.
Lu Yi's heart tightened, could it be that he was discovered? It seems that his experience in the rivers and lakes is really insufficient, and he was just about to show up to take down the thief, but he found that the man in black withdrew his gaze and swept in another direction along the ridge of the roof.
Lu Yi hesitated slightly, his figure flickered, and he followed from a distance, and in this way, the man in black patronized three or four families one after another, and it seemed that the harvest was not very satisfactory.
At this time, there is a relatively large courtyard in front, and when Lu Yi looks down, it is the Datong Trading House that he has come to this afternoon, and the yard is still piled up with goods brought back to Lujia Village.
The man in black lowered his figure when Lu Yi hesitated, and landed gently in the courtyard like a swallow through the hall.
Lu Yi squatted in the dark place of the roof, gently lifted a tile, and with a slight effort with his palms, the tile suddenly cracked into pieces silently.
The man in black was concentrating on gently flicking the deadbolt with a small dagger, when he suddenly felt a strong wind in the back of his head, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and quickly turned his head, and a hidden weapon brushed his ears and temples, and then he felt a tingling pain in his cheeks.
Boom!
The splinters struck the wooden door with a dull sound, which was particularly harsh at night.
The shouts of the shopkeeper came from the house:
"Who!"
Then the lights came on.
The man in black rolled over, trying to escape to the shadow in the corner, but he was followed by another tile, which this time could not dodge, and struck him in the calf with great force, forcing him to stumble.
The man in black finally saw a young man squatting on the roof, looking at him condescendingly, with a smile on his face and a handful of broken tiles in his hand.
"Friend, something I can stay, let me go?"
Lu Yi didn't answer, just stared at the legs of the man in black, he could see that the other party's martial arts were not very high, but the light body kung fu was not bad, as long as he was not distracted, which leg would hit which leg first, to ensure that he couldn't run away!
As for how to deal with it, let's wait for Sun Da's shopkeeper to decide.
At this moment, the shopkeeper Sun opened the door with two guys, and Sun Yuan'er also walked out behind the three of them with fluffy green hair.
The man in black didn't speak when he saw Lu Yi, he knew that tonight was not good, but he was obviously not the opponent of the roof boy, thinking of this, he even screamed unlucky, who would have thought that such a small town where birds don't would have such a young man with such good kung fu! Could it be that he didn't look at the old yellow calendar when he went out this time?
The shopkeeper Sun stared at the man in black and asked in a deep voice:
"Friend, visiting late at night, I don't know where Sun Lao'er offended?"
Sun Yuan'er followed behind her grandfather, looking at the thief with curiosity in her eyes, and suddenly saw Lu Yi squatting on the roof, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise:
"Lu Yi, why are you?"
The man in black heard this, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at the young man on the roof and said:
"Lu Shaoxia, I came from the Beijiang River in the next, just to ask for some entanglement, and I didn't hurt people's thoughts, I don't know if I can raise my noble hand and make it convenient!"
Lu Yi put down the tiles in his hand, jumped lightly from the yard, clapped his hands and said:
"Grandpa Sun, I have been with him for a long time, and I have entered a total of seven households, and I really didn't hurt anyone, so how to deal with it is still up to you. ”
After speaking, he smiled and waved his hand at Yuan'er, who was surprised and sluggish.
The man in black turned his head to look at Sun Da's shopkeeper, and when he saw the latter groaning, he hurriedly took out dozens of taels of silver from his body and carefully placed them on the ground.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the man in black who was waiting to be killed, waved his hand and said:
"For the sake of you not hurting anyone, you can go, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, I hope you will not come back to Fubo Town in the future. ”
The man in black looked grateful, arched his hand and was about to leave.
"Wait. ”
Lu Yi suddenly stopped the man in black with a smile.
"What's the matter?
The man in black asked vigilantly, his voice trembling slightly, there was no way, he couldn't beat it, he couldn't run away.
"I want you to leave that dagger behind. ”
Lu Yi shook his head and said.
The man in black looked relieved, although the dagger was very good, extremely sharp, and small, but it was only stolen from a high-gate compound, and he didn't particularly care.
After putting down the dagger, the man in black arched his hand again, said a few kind words, and jumped lightly onto the wall, and it could be seen that the attack was not light, and his body stumbled slightly.
Lu Yi also swept up the roof, and watched the man in black leave the town and flee into the mountains before jumping off the yard again.
Yuan'er ran over happily, grabbed Lu Yi's arm and laughed happily:
"Hee-hee, Lu Shaoxia, the little woman is polite! hee-hee, hahaha. ”
Lu Yi was a little overwhelmed by Yuan'er, but he was inevitably a little proud in his heart, Shaoxia, finally someone called him Lu Shaoxia, haha!
The shopkeeper of Sun suddenly coughed, Yuan'er's face turned red, so she had to let go of Lu Yi, endure the words of her stomach, return to her grandfather and stand still, hiding behind without forgetting to raise her hands and make a grimace.
"Hello Grandpa Sun. ”
Lu Yi hurriedly picked up the dagger and saluted respectfully.
The shopkeeper Sun thought to himself, if you kid doesn't beat my Yuan'er's idea, the old man will definitely invite you to drink two cups, hum, even if you catch a hundred thieves, it can't compare to a hair of my Yuan'er, but he still said with a kind smile on his face:
"Lu Yi, that's good! Why don't you sleep so late? Why did you run into a thief?"
Lu Yi said the matter of Lao Huang's house concisely, and when he said that Lu Yiwen grinded his teeth, Sun Yuan'er laughed out loud in the back.
The shopkeeper of Sun Da secretly sighed that the woman was not stayed, and in just one day, he threw the truth that his grandfather had taught for several years to Java.
"Grandpa Sun, then tomorrow, please return these coins to the people in the town. ”
The shopkeeper Sun nodded, patted Lu Yi's shoulder kindly and said:
"Do you need ......?"
Lu Yi immediately understood what he meant, shook his head, and replied seriously:
"Please ask Grandpa Sun to bother to explain the wording, I will go back to Lujia Village in two days, and I really don't want others to know that I am involved in this matter. ”
After saying that, he bowed again.
"Do you understand?"
In the majestic voice of the shopkeeper Sun, everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Yi said goodbye in Sun Yuan'er's reluctant gaze and walked out of Datong Commercial Bank.
When I was about to arrive at the old Huang courtyard, there happened to be a small stone arch bridge, and the novelty of the night made the road sleepy, so I chose a big bluestone and sat down, listened to the gurgling water for a while, and felt out the dagger that I got tonight to play with.
The dagger is slightly longer than the palm of the hand, but it feels quite heavy in the hand, the black handle is wrapped with a thick leather rope, which feels very good, the blade is oval, and the hairpin is engraved with two very strange marks, a bit like two flowers, and some like two symbols.
The dagger was a pale yellow leather case inlaid with three jet-black gems and some intricate patterns.
After the dagger was drawn, it brought out a faint chill, and it looked like a pool of autumn water in the moonlight, and the brilliance was uncertain.
"Good knives. ”
Lu Yi couldn't help but praise the exit.
After playing for a while and was about to put it away, Lu Yi suddenly frowned, turned to look at the other side of the street and stood still.
The man in black went and returned, passed through several ridges, and soon fell from the roof to the street, and when he saw Lu Yi's vigilant look, he hurriedly arched his hand and said:
"Don't misunderstand Lu Shaoxia, I am definitely not a person who doesn't know what to do, thanks to Shaoxia raising his noble hand, his conscience is very uneasy after thinking about it, and he comes back to give a thing to express his gratitude!"
After speaking, he took out a thin booklet from his bosom, put it at his feet, and turned around to leave.
"Wait. ”
Lu Yi stepped forward, picked up the booklet from the ground, did not look at it, looked at the masked eyes of the man in black and said:
"I have already got a dagger from you, I like it very much, you can go and return just to deliver books, which shows that you are also a person who values affection, can you tell the name of the little brother?"
The man in black pulled down his scarf, revealing a clear face, about forty years old, with high cheekbones, three long beards, and a face that looked very Sven.
"Under the surname Lu, a single name is a Fei word, friends in the rivers and lakes gave a nickname Lu Feiying, but tonight he was caught by a little brother in the road, ashamed and ashamed. ”
Lu Yi modestly replied:
"It's me who took advantage of the weather and location, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch up with Brother Lu's light skills. ”
Lu Fei looked at the sky, the fourth watch had passed, so he said apologetically:
"Brother Lu is very fateful, this booklet is also my accident, it is locked in the same box as the dagger, my set of light body kung fu is from the above comprehension, but I know that my qualifications are limited, it is useless to stay here with me, now Brother Lu can take a fancy to the dagger at a glance, indicating that it is also your chance, simply give it to you, please don't postpone. ”
Seeing Lu Fei's sincere expression, Lu Yi had to put away the booklet and clasp his fists again to express his gratitude.
Lu Fei put on his scarf again, swept the wall, and arched:
"See you in the rivers and lakes in the future, I hope that Brother Lu has made a great name, and he can beg for a glass of wine!"
Lu Yi saw Lu Fei away, and was silent for a long time before taking out the booklet he had specially sent from his arms.
The booklet is very thin, estimated to be more than ten pages in total, but it is not ordinary paper, but more like a mixture of silk threads mixed with various materials.
The cover depicts a monk sitting cross-legged, with a solemn face, hands clasped together, and no words.
I opened the cover by moonlight, and the first page read: The five words of the unphased Brahma are written.
Lu repeatedly turned down and found that it was mainly divided into three parts, namely the body, the law, and the instrument, three formulas and illustrations.
Each mantra should have four or five pages, but it is incomplete, and most of it is blank.
Just like the second part about the recording of the body method, the first page does have two or three hundred words, and a cursory reading will make it clear that it is a set of light body exercises, but it is not complete, and there are two pages of blank space at the end.
After turning it over and reading it a few times, Lu Baibai couldn't figure it out, and couldn't see why, so he put the booklet away, thinking that he would return to Lujia Village to ask his mother and relatives to make plans in the future.
"Lu Yi, you really haven't slept yet. ”
As soon as Lu heard the shout, he turned around in surprise and saw Sun Yuan'er tiptoeing over.
"Why did you get out?"
Sun Yuan'er was wearing a thick white windbreaker, smiling and looking at Lu Yi at the bridge, the moonlight shining on her made her look like a simple and delicate lily.
"I can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk and see if I can meet a snitch like you!"
Lu Yi rubbed her fluffy green silk a little helplessly, and said with a smile:
"It's cold, don't catch a cold, I'll send you home, if Grandpa Sun knows, he won't pick my skin!"
Sun Yuan'er let Lu Yi's hand rub on her head, and said coquettishly:
"I don't want to go back, I managed to crawl out of the wall, tell me about the snitch at night. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you, but ......"
"But what?"
Sun Yuan'er asked expectantly.
Lu Yi groaned slightly:
"It's hard at night, I'm really worried that your body won't be able to stay up, I'll send you home and tell you on the way?"
Hearing the care in the words of the way, Sun Yuan'er was full of joy and nodded.
The two walked side by side towards Datongshang, how did Lu Fei happen to find Lu Fei, how did he follow him, and then how did he think of using broken tiles to fight the enemy and tell Yuan'er one by one.
Unconsciously, the two of them soon arrived outside the wall of the Datong Commercial Bank, and it was difficult to make way this time, and it was definitely not okay to knock on the door, even if they didn't care, it was always bad to let the guys in the house know that the young lady slipped out in the middle of the night.
"Stupid, I've got a ladder over there!"
Seeing Lu Yi scratching his ears and cheeks, Sun Yuan'er smiled triumphantly.
The two went around to the backyard, and sure enough, they saw a wooden ladder leaning against the courtyard wall, but Sun Yuan'er jumped down at that time, and it was not so easy to climb up when she stood back.
This time, it was Lu Yi's turn to squat on the side of the road, watching Sun Yuan'er who jumped up and down and couldn't reach the ladder, and laughed.
"You're still not here to help, I'm!"
Sun Yuan'er was shy and anxious, chopped her feet and said coquettishly.
Lu Yi walked straight over, picked her up in Sun Yuan'er's exclamation, kicked her feet hard, and jumped on the wall gently.
Sun Yuan'er suddenly quieted down, shrunk into Lu Yi's arms, her heart was beating hard, and her cheeks were hot, but looking at Lu Yi's side face, she was reluctant to close her eyes anymore.
Lu Yi hugged Yuan'er's light body, and gently jumped off the wall, there was no one around, and hurriedly put her down, but saw her eyes slightly closed, and a crystal teardrop welled up from under her long eyelashes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yi lowered his voice and asked a little anxiously.
Sun Yuan'er opened her eyes, suddenly reached out and hooked Lu Yi's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips gently.
The road is like being struck by lightning.
When he reacted, he found that Sun Yuan'er had already run back to the room.
Lu Yi touched his mouth, and suddenly felt that his heart was beating fast.
