Text Chapter 3, The Night Visitor
Sunset, without saying goodbye.
Night is coming.
The mottled afterglow, through the layers of reeds, sprinkled on the face of the waves, leaving a red like pig's liver.
He was rolling up his sleeves, rolling up his trouser legs, humming a little song, washing and skinning the two unlucky hares, and his quick movements dazzled Lu Qianyu when he saw it, he didn't know that Langliu was a thief and had this ability.
He took a sip of wine, and he said, "Look at it," and he showed his skills by passing a branch through the carcass of a hare and baking it on the fire, and he said, "It's all a skill, you can learn it, and you may be able to use it later!"
Lu Qianyu sat on the bow of the boat, wiping Gu Han repeatedly with the broken steps torn off the corner of his clothes. The sword reflected red flames and a blooming sunset, and he said, "Hurry up, I'm starving." ”
The flames crackled, and the pillars of smoke drifted between the domes.
After more than ten days, Lu Qianyu did not come out day and night, and the range of activities was only the reeds around the awning boat, this kind of day was really boring, fortunately, he recovered well from his injury, found an open space, and practiced "A Thousand Troops Broken" for a few days, he only practiced the first three chapters, practiced from the beginning, practiced repeatedly, and could only practice to the third chapter. He was familiar with the swordsmanship essentials on his back, and he was wielding tricks like flowers, but he could only practice until the third chapter.
The Lu family's swordsmanship "Thousand Armies Broken" is inherited from the ancestors of the Lu family, with a total of nine chapters and twenty-seven styles, and when it comes to Lu Qianyu's generation, only the old ancient pages are left, three chapters, and nine styles.
At this moment, he was thinking about how the missing six chapters and eighteen styles were lost.
"Chapter 1, Three Thousand Avenues, First Style, Broken Sword Style, Second Style, Leaving Sword Style, Third Style, Flying Sword Style, Chapter 2, Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow, Chapter 3, Thousand Birds Without a Trace..."
Suddenly, with a whoop, the waves let out applause, "It's so damn fragrant!" He approached the black rabbit, fanned the smell with his palm to his nose, his smoky face stretched out, his eyes rolled up exaggeratedly, and he boasted to himself, "Qianyu, hurry up and smell it, this meat is simply a rare delicacy in the world, even the gods will cry when they see it." ”
"You can eat it!" Lu Qianyu was interrupted by Qing Xiu, so, forgetting the chapter of "A Thousand Armies Broken", he put down the broken sword, raised his buttocks, and walked to the fire, he said, "You thing, can you poison the immortals?"
"For the sake of me being busy for most of the day. Langliu tore off a large piece of rabbit meat and blew on it, he sighed: "Can't you accumulate some virtue on your mouth?" The high temperature turned the rabbit meat into a hot potato, and it jumped a few times in his hand.
Looking at the funny appearance of the waves, Lu Qianyu said, "Can you accumulate some virtue, this rabbit was originally a couple, and it has become an outlaw couple!"
"Being able to enter his Uncle Lang's stomach is considered a convincing spirit that they have cultivated for several lifetimes. After speaking, he bit down a large piece, chewed it with relish, and then raised the wine gourd, took a sip, and said beautifully, "Fat but not greasy, refreshing and tender but not firewood." It's called good food with good wine, and the more you drink, the more you get it!"
"There's a lantern!" Lu Qianyu stood in front of him, copied the wine gourd, and twisted a rabbit leg. He asked, "When are we going to act?"
Langliu ate Zhengxiang, didn't answer him, he seemed to be tasting a gluttonous meal, his mouth was full of oil, and he made a clattering sound from time to time.
Lu Qianyu tore off a small piece of meat and carefully put it in his mouth, the meat was submerged by the teeth, turned into mince, and the minced was on the tip of the tongue, leaving a mixture of fireworks and meat, and then, through Lu Qianyu's esophagus, into his stomach, Lu Qianyu frowned, he said, "It's light, and it's hard like a stone, you're fucking burnt." ”
The breeze is gentle, and the weeping willows caress lightly. Ripples rippled in circles appeared on the surface of the water. The curling smoke disappeared without a trace in mid-air, and a huge black curtain descended on the reeds, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, leaving only the flames beating restlessly.
"Don't worry!" Langliu licked the corners of his mouth, pillowed his arms, lay under the willow tree, and greedily picked up the meat star on his fingers, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"Don't be in a hurry, you can't even eat shit!" Lu Qianyu picked up a stone and threw it in the water. Then a great wave rose from the water, and he said to himself, "These thieves, I will stab them in the gut with my sword." ”
A few stars loomed among the clouds, like falling on a plate, and I don't know if the two gods were playing with each other. This game is eternal, and the mortals below have watched for thousands of years, waited for thousands of years, searched for thousands of years, and found no result. And thousands of mountains and rivers, the vicissitudes of life, are also a chessboard, people are chess pieces on the board, life and death fight, often in an instant, there is a result.
"What did you say?" Wave asked.
"When are we going to act!" Lu Qianyu said.
"You're going to stab someone's eyes?" Langliu sat up, and he laughed, "Whose eyes are you stabbed?"
"Vulgar!"
"Alas. Langliu sighed, "Young Master Lu, I'm not educated, but I know who should be stabbed in the eye!"
"Can you change the name? Lu Qianyu said, "From now on, call me Lu Qianyu, Qianyu, I'm not a young master anymore, my home is gone." Speaking of this, a sad wind blew through Lu Qianyu's heart.
Once upon a time, he thought that the word young master was the greatest awe of him, so he couldn't be happy. But now, when he heard the word, he felt sick. He now has nothing, just a wretched homeless wretch. He felt that he was not worthy of the word young master for the time being, and he didn't want to use the word young master in the future. Because, the wonderful time that belonged to the young master is long gone.
"Then, Young Master Lu, we should be on our way. Wave reached out and patted the dust off his buttocks, and he said, "Go and poke them in the eye." ”
"Damn, can you not mention your eyes?" Lu Qianyu said.
"But I just want to stab those people in the eyes!" Langliu pouted, "Young Master Lu, wait a moment." He turned and went back to the cabin to pack his things.
"Can't you call me young master?" Lu Qianyu lit up on his buttocks.
"It's not my eyes. Langliu said back.
"Vulgar!"
Lu Qianyu didn't know why the waves didn't row the canopy boat, leaving it in the distance, but instead supported a bamboo raft to wander in the winding waterway, time was going far, Lu Qianyu was not talking to the waves to hate the problem of eyes, he kept asking how far it was, the waves held the bamboo poles, did not answer, the boat walked for about an hour, arrived at the unmanned ferry, the two got off the boat, and walked about ten miles to the north, passing through three villages where the lights were out and the dogs barked. In the end, I climbed a hill full of rape flowers and filled with fragrance.
Standing here,
The city is dotted with lights, like an old wolf crawling at the foot of a mountain.
"Linzhou!" Lu Qianyu looked at the city in the distance, he had never peeked at Linzhou from this angle now, but he still knew that it was Linzhou, because there seemed to be a rope between their hearts, firmly pulling the two, it was a shackle that could not be escaped, he said softly, "Xiaolou, I'm here." ”
"What do you say?" said Wander, standing behind him, also looking at the city out of reach, "Are you stabbing people in the gut again?"
"Vulgar!" Lu Qianyu's old injuries had not healed, and after walking such a long way, his legs were like carrying two huge pieces of lead, and at this time he had to put one hand on Langliu's shoulder, and he said, "My back hurts." ”
Langliu awkwardly stretched out his hand under his armpit, and said, "Young Master Lu, I am a vulgar person. ”
The path of the hill stretches in twists and turns, the broken stones seem to grow on the road, and the two figures flicker in the moonlight, like a pair of embarrassed...
Standing under the city, man is insignificant.
Lu Qianyu was silent, he walked to the stone bridge on the moat, touched the cold railing, looked at the hurried pedestrians, listened to the mournful sound, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
When he returned, the city was still prosperous, but the boy was gone.
Lonely and cold, the moon shadow is cold, and the lonely Linzhou opens its arms to the two lonely visitors.
Walking into the gate of Linzhou, the present news and the old things will be separated forever.
Walking down the street...
The green bricks and tiles are still brilliant, the Qihu Alley is hidden in the fragrance of wine, the candles in the pavilions near the water are illuminated by the flowers, and countless familiar street scenes are reflected in Lu Qianyu's eyes, so they evoke countless memories of the past, the servants of the Lu Mansion who once surrounded him are gone, and where is the small building that once waited for him to eat? Is Shi Weng, who once held a whip to teach him his homework, still alive?
The transit has not moved, and the yellow flowers bloomed yesterday.
His steps mechanically followed the waves, and their minds flew through the sad night, and they walked through the streets and alleys, and at last they came to a stop in front of a wide courtyard, and the waves pulled him into the shadow of the trees.
"Why are you here?" Lu Qianyu recognized at a glance that this was the mansion that Qian Fugui had only built last year. The two stone lions in front of the door opened their mouths viciously, as if they wanted to eat people. At that time, Lu Qianyu also said that it was unlucky to put this character back against Qian Fugui, he was timid and afraid, and he should put two cats. He asked Langliu, "What the fuck are you bringing me here?"
"What can I do?" Wave smiled obscenely, "Of course it's a stabbing eye!"
"Vulgar!" Lu Qianyu shook his head, he said, "Qian Fugui and I are friends, I don't poke his eyes!"
"He's dead. Langliu said.
"Why haven't I heard?"
"You're hurt. ”
"Who did it?" Lu Qianyu said. So, Qian Fugui's two little short legs supporting a big belly came to his mind. "He is good, but he is so timid, what kind of enemy can he have?" he said.
"Having money is the original sin!"
Lu Qianyu nodded, "That's right." ”
At this moment, the dusty door was slowly pushed open.
A group of several people, speaking loudly, came out lazily.
Two men, one tall and one small, walked in front, followed by the rest of the people, and their status was clear at a glance.
The youngest of them was as thin as a monkey.
"Look, that skinny monkey. Langliu said, so Lu Qianyu naturally went to see the tall man.
He was burly, like a moving mountain.
The thin monkey walked down the steps, stopped, turned around and nodded to the big man behind, he said, "Master Wu, it's a little meaning, it's not a respect!"
"You're welcome. The big man said.
Then, the two of them continued to walk down the street, and neither of them noticed the waves and Lu Qianyu in the shade of the trees, in their eyes, it was a dark corner.
"Still. The thin monkey smiled secretly, "Our lord has another request." ”
"Oh?" said the big man, "little brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
So the little man bent down again and bowed, and he said, "That boy can't live anymore, and our lord can't sleep well." ”
The big man looked around at his subordinates on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Tell your master, I promised him, and I will do it." After saying that, his men burst out laughing, and he glared at them, and then said, "If you don't sleep well, you can look for Langzhong." ”
The thin monkey felt that the other party seemed to be humiliating himself, his face sank slightly, and he said, "It's good that Master Wu remembers, and the little one will leave." ”
"I don't send it. ”
"Did you hear me clearly?" Langliu touched Lu Qianyu with his elbow.
He was in a daze, and after coming out of these people, he began to think, who were they, and was Qian Fugui killed by them?
"Who killed Qian Fugui?" Lu Qianyu asked.
"Do you have to ask, who killed the eighty-three people in the Lu Mansion?" Langliu said helplessly, "The people I let you see are all the people I want to poke in the eye." ”
At this time, even if Lu Qianyu is an elm pimple, he understands. "Are they the murderers of Xiao Lou?" he asked.
"Clever!" Langliu nodded, he grabbed Lu Qianyu's arm with one hand, this news exploded in his mind, stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, Lu Qianyu wanted to avenge Xiaolou was already crazy, and now when he saw the enemy, his eyes were extremely red, and Langliu couldn't help but clasp his wrist tightly, worried that Lu Qianyu was too angry, and rushed directly to fight with others. He said, "Young Master Lu, don't be impulsive. The killer has been found, and we have to think long-term. ”
Lu Qianyu held the broken sword in his hand, his angry lips trembled, and a deep killing intent permeated his fiery eyes.
"Let's talk about a lantern!" Lu Qianyu said angrily, he clicked Gu Han's grip, and he couldn't break free several times, he shouted: "Don't stop me." ”
"Shhhh ”
The tall man saw the thin monkey walking away and said, "Whatever!" Then, spitting on the ground, he said to his subordinates, "Listen, that old thief has scared himself so much that he can't sleep, what's the use of looking for me?"
The flickering firelight reflected his posture and appearance very brightly.
He was dressed in a black robe, and his arms were exposed, covered with sturdy muscles. The beard on his face is unkempt, and the most striking is the left half of his face, with a scar that extends from under the eyelids to the lips.
When Lu Qianyu saw this person's scar, his heart chuckled, he seemed to be familiar, and he forgot where he had seen it for a while.
Linzhou Cheng said that it is not big, but it is not small, with a population of 100,000 people, and there are very few people with scars on their faces.
"Who is he?" Lu Qianyu calmed down, and he asked Langliu, "Have you seen this person?"
"What memory?" said Langliu's hand, not daring to relax at all, "You only saw it in the casino last month!"
"It's him!" After being reminded by the waves, Lu Qianyu suddenly thought that it was him. "He was kicked in the ass by me?"
"That's wrong!" Wander muttered, "that's his brother, this is his brother, he looks a little alike, not the same person." ”
"And who is?"
"Kick your ass that one!"
Lu Qianyu remembered it, and the blood surged up to his face, and there was some shyness in it, and more anger.
"What a farmer!"
"Wulin Villa - Wuling Style!"
"This thief. Lu Qianyu clenched his fists, and he remembered everything.
At this time, the door of the Qian family's compound was closed.
