When twilight fell, the boat was already lit with lights and candles, and the light was shining. Lin Yi walked into the houseboat, the window in the hall was ajar, at this time in late spring and early summer, the night wind was slightly cold, and I saw a few slender and gorgeous dancers throwing their water sleeves high and dancing in the river breeze. On both sides of the hall sat more than a dozen military men, holding the girl who accompanied the wine in their arms, reaching out to grope up and down, one by one full of spring light, and their hearts were rippling;

On the main seat sat a sturdy, grim-faced one-eyed officer, two beauties kneeling beside him, slender hands from the bottom up, all the way to his inner thighs, coquettish and laughing. Zhu Caigui stood aside, poured a full wine glass and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, please, please!"

Although Lin Yi is only thirteen years old, he has seen a lot of these scenes on weekdays, and he is used to it. It's just that in the corner next to him, there was a group of boys and girls, ragged, with whip marks on their bare skin, looking at everyone timidly, silent, but it attracted his attention.

Lin Yi looked at him twice, didn't ask too much, and when he saw the middle-aged man at first glance, he knew that he was the leader. I heard Xiaohu say that this person is very big, and even Zhu Caigui personally served him a full cup of wine, but he still didn't believe it, but now that he looks at it, he really didn't boast about Haikou.

The one-eyed officer coughed, Zhu Caigui understood, and waved his hand to let the dancing girls retreat and let the soldiers go to drink with them and vacate the hall. Everyone's eyes fell on Nian You and Lin Yi, and suddenly there was silence in the field, and for a while, everything was silent, and the atmosphere took a sharp turn.

"Little girl, see all the adults. But the lady was calm and unhurried, and bent down to say. Standing in the middle of the field, he bowed his head slightly, lowered his eyes and said nothing, although his attitude was respectful, his expression was as usual, and he did not feel inferior at all.

Seeing this, Lin Yi restrained his mind and bowed to the one-eyed man: "Boy Lin Yi, meet the adults." ”

The one-eyed man waved his hand, revealing a martial artist's fierce temperament in his gestures, and said proudly: "No courtesy." ”

Zhu Caigui put away his stomach with difficulty, bent down and introduced to the one-eyed man: "This is our top musician Mrs. Nianyou, who is the most superb in the city, and her singing voice is even more wonderful. Today, the military master of Xinde came, and specially invited the lady to bring the boy to perform for the adults, so as to add Yaxing. ”

Lin Yi secretly observed the one-eyed man's expression, and saw that his eyebrows were stretched, the corners of his mouth were smiling, but he couldn't hold back, trying to put on a serious attitude, and he knew that he was very useful to say this. I heard that the north is cold and far less prosperous than the south, looking at his appearance, he shouldn't come to Huajie to drink much, but he knows it in his heart and knows how to deal with it.

Mrs. Nianyou bowed her head and said: "Boss Zhu has won the award, the little girl's skills are shallow and embarrassing, but fortunately, the guests are generous, a few words of praise are just a few words, it is an honor for the little girl to be able to play for the military master today." ”

The one-eyed man raised his eyebrows as he spoke, looking a little impatient, Lin Yi observed his words and looks, and knew that he didn't like to be verbose, so he handed the xylophone to Nianyou. Nian You took the xylophone from his hand, understood the meaning, saved the politeness, and immediately put the xylophone in front of his knees, sat down in his skirt, and said: "Today, thanks to the military master's name, the little girl presented a song 'Drunken Fishing and Singing Night' to show respect." The little girl of this song has practiced hard for a long time, before she dares to show ugliness in front of adults, if there is a mistake, she also looks at Haihan. ”

After saying that, with a flick of his fingers, the sound of the piano sounded, the tune was melodious and tactful, and the artistic conception was profound, and then the body and mind were in a state, and he sang loudly: "The sunset of the distant mountains is half a river red, and the willow bank reeds are tied to the rope~~ Fame and fortune are heartless, and the twilight is intentionally misty ~~"

The singing voice is displayed, and it amazes the Quartet. Everyone closed their eyes and listened, and the noise in the hall disappeared, and the voice seemed to have a kind of magic, and the troubles and sorrows in their hearts dissipated with it. Rao is this group of soldiers, and he also feels the beauty of the artistic conception. It is as if he is a fisherman, returning from the rivers and lakes in a small boat, the sunset is shining, the twilight is low, the herons are flying, and the distant mountains are like ink. The fishing boat is moored on the shore, the willow leaves are hanging low, the boat lights are swaying, looking at the colorful clouds and red clouds, and slowly falling asleep with the waves.

The sound of the piano is tactful, the singing voice is crisp, and after singing a song, no one has stopped for a long time, and everyone is addicted to the aftertaste, and they lose their minds. It wasn't until Lin Yi coughed that everyone eased up, and Zhu Caigui took the lead in applauding: "Good singing!

Nian Youwan smiled, stepped forward to receive the reward, got out of the way, and the artists returned to the field to dance, and played a few small songs to help the fun. A military man hooked his hand to Lin Yi, Lin Yi responded, nodded and walked over, and said respectfully: "What does the general command?"

"General?" The man was stunned, and then laughed: "Haha, you southerners have a slippery mouth, little brother come, drink with me!"

Lin Yi poured himself a cup, saluted the military man, and drank it to the bottom, his face flushed. The military man was overjoyed and invited him to take a seat. Lin Yi is active, good at observing words, a general, a big brother and a short brother, and accompanies him to play with his fists and dice. After a short time, the soldier was so drunk that his face was red, he smiled happily, and said, "The little brother can drink a lot." ”

Lin Yi covered his mouth with his hand to prevent spit from splashing on him, and said modestly: "Big brother has won the award, and the kid's little wine power can barely make you happy." ”

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the soldiers had a good time, Lin Yi was already exhausted, and found an excuse to urinate, as soon as he walked out of the painting boat, he put away his smiling face, covered his mouth and ran to the bridge, holding the railing and vomiting.

The river waves are sparkling, the bright moon is like a hook, and the ears can hear the three watches on the shore, and it has come to the sea. Lin Yi was blowing the river breeze, only to feel that his head was swollen and painful, rubbing his temples with his hands, opening his mouth to exhale turbidity, his mouth was spicy, his tongue was numb, and he rested for a while before he eased up his strength and went back with a wry smile.

Walking into the painting boat, I saw that they were having a feast. Zhu Caigui picked up a silver ticket on the case, and Lin Yi looked at it from a distance, and there were as many as fifty taels, and ordinary people couldn't save this money in their lives. Zhu Caigui was overjoyed, put the silver ticket in his pocket, and got up to send them out. Several drunken soldiers left first with the boys and girls in the corner, and the one-eyed man stayed last, he walked up to Nianyou, smelled of wine, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and said: "Your piano boy is very eye-catching, give you twenty taels of silver, sell it to me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and several drinking girls looked at each other, knowing that twenty taels of silver is a lot, and adding some money to redeem the mediocre prostitutes in the private kiln is enough. An orphan like Lin Yi is usually enough to sell to a rich family as a domestic servant. Having said that, after all, he is Nianyou's adopted son, not that he can sell it if he buys it.

Nian You was stunned, and it took a long time to come to her senses, and she said angrily: "Master Jun said that he laughed, Yi'er is my adopted son, and he will stay by his side, and the two of us will depend on each other for our lives, and we will regard it as our own, not for sale!"

"You bitch, don't be embarrassed!" a soldier suddenly burst into flames and rushed over.

"Ping-pong!" Wang Xiaohu was cleaning up the leftovers of the banquet, and he drank violently, his fingers loosened, and the wine cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Nian You was frightened by the other party, her heart was frightened, her fingers trembled, but the person did not take a half step back, and was about to speak, Lin Yi stopped in front of him, and said with a smile: "Master Jun is angry, today is full of wine and food, everyone is happy, please go back and rest early." ”

The one-eyed officer stopped his subordinates, his eyes were unruly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, "It turns out that what my wolf master wants, there are still people who dare to say no." ”

The girls saw that the situation was not good, stood aside and talked about it. The military man leopard's eyes widened, he looked around the audience, and said angrily: "Whatever you see, give it to me - get out!"

The girls were startled, did not dare to gossip, looked embarrassed one by one, and left in embarrassment. Zhu Caigui had just received a large sum of money from the officer, and he did not intervene at this time, but watched from the sidelines. Wang Xiaohu wanted to say something, but was stopped by his eyes, so he had to bury his head and pack his things.

The one-eyed officer looked at Lin Yi's mother and son with a cold expression. A pressure fell on Lin Yi, he was covered with cold sweat, and he still greeted him with a smile: "Adults are angry, don't move your liver fire." The voice paused slightly, and he said respectfully: "The kid is stupid, I don't know where to offend the general today, please punish the adult, and I will come to the door to apologize another day." ”

The one-eyed officer sighed with interest, looked Lin Yi up and down, and suddenly asked, "Boy, how old are you this year." ”

"Lord Hui-" Lin Yi bowed, "The kid will turn thirteen this year." ”

The one-eyed officer nodded and said with satisfaction: "Being so tactful at such a young age is quite eye-catching." So be it...... You come to my army to be a herald, and you can find a career in the future, no matter how bad it is, it is better than selling laughter and drinking in the willow alleys of this flower street. ”

This passage is untrue or false, Lin Yi is difficult to distinguish, looking at the other party's aggressive attitude, he can only cautiously refuse: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, the kid is still immature, he is not yet old enough to join the army, and I want to accompany my mother for two more years, which is a good intention." After two years, if the villain is fine, he will definitely defect to the general. ”

The coldness in the corners of the officer's eyes became even stronger, and before he could speak, the soldier next to him patted his chest and shouted: "Stinky boy! It is your honor to be favored by our white-eyed wolf, don't play those mouths, follow us obediently!"

Lin Yi's forehead was oozing with cold sweat, the corners of his mouth were bitter, and he was in a very embarrassing situation...... No wonder the shot was so generous.

I can't agree to it now.

Before he could figure out how to refuse, Mrs. Nianyou was already in front of him, and said with a stern face: "Don't play around, military masters, Yi'er is the meat of the little girl's heart, and she will never sell it to his family, the adults have drunk too much, please come back early, this matter has to be mentioned again." ”

"Stinky, you say we'...... Drinking too much?" The one-eyed officer known as the white-eyed wolf had not yet had a seizure, and the soldier who spoke for him had already moved his true character, his thick eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were wide with anger, and he rolled up his sleeves and slapped him hard.

"Smack!"

As soon as Lin Yi reacted, before he could stop it, the military man slapped Mrs. Nianyou to the ground. By the time she struggled to get up, half of her face was red and swollen, and blood was even flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Mother?" Lin Yi's head buzzed, exploding like a bell, as if a tight string in his heart suddenly broke, and suddenly he was furious, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Bastard, you dare!" stepped forward to help Mrs. Nianyou, reached out and took out the talisman knife in his arms, and stabbed at the soldier!

"Yi'er, don't!" Nian You's eyes widened, and she screamed in horror.
