This year, the climate is very strange, a snow has been falling for a long time, and it is still white after walking hundreds of miles to the south. It made Mo Miaomiao happy, the little girl was bouncing in the snow for a while, and she was sitting on the side to a high place for a while, and she kept screaming.

Seeing that the lunar moon is coming, all I see along the way are people who are preparing for the New Year or on the way back to their hometowns.

When I was passing by a village before, I met a man who had just returned to his hometown. The man looked at the dusty man with no smile on his face, but when he saw a house in the distance, he slapped his face with both hands, found a secluded place to change into beautiful clothes, and then walked into the village with a smile on his face.

Zhang Muliu knew that the man didn't pretend to be a good person to others, but just wanted his family to know that he was actually fine outside.

Someone else's way home is the way for this young man with a little girl by his side.

Zhang Muliu deliberately let go of a few lakes, also so that Mo Miaomiao would not touch the scene. It's hard to look more lively, but you can't let her wrinkle her face like before. Several times at night, Zhang Muliu heard this still very young girl whispering in her dreams, saying one after another, "Dad and my mother don't want me, and grandpa doesn't want me anymore!"

So Zhang Muliu found a lot of things for her, whether it was playing, learning to read and read, all to keep her busy.

Finally arrived in a small town, Zhang Muliu was so happy, there was finally a place to drink, and the wine in the wine bag was still poured in the town when he returned, thanks to the fact that he had been in a coma for three months, otherwise it would have been gone.

took Mo Miaomiao into a small restaurant, where there were five or six tables, but there was no one, it was quite quiet. The proprietress was wiping the table, and when she saw the guests coming in, she hurriedly said, "Why, this looks like a foreign ranger, hungry, right? I have some ordinary stir-fried dishes here, do you want to see more meat or lighter?"

Zhang Mu Liuxin said that this proprietress was numb enough, and said with a smile: "Let's make a vegetarian meat, the two of us can't eat much." ”

The proprietress answered, and was about to turn around and go to the back kitchen, but another person came in, looking at a scholar, in his twenties, carrying a big cage.

The scholar entered the door and said, "Boss, just make a dish and a bowl of rice." ”

The proprietress said that it is not good, I make a lot of cauliflowers, but I can't make a casual. So he repeated what Fang Cai said to Zhang Muliu.

Mo Miaomiao looked at Zhang Muliu, gently leaned into the young man's ear, and said in a very low voice: "Mother! This boss lady has said it twice in a short time, even if she doesn't say a word wrong, even gasping for breath is the same place." ”

Zhang Muliu was also very surprised, but he was surprised that this little girl had such a good memory? It seems that reading can be put on the agenda!

The scholar has been staring at Zhang Muliu since he sat down, making the young man in white uncomfortable. I really couldn't stand the scholar's eyes, so I said:

"What does this scholar have to offer?"

When the scholar heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Just seeing that this eldest brother is carrying a sword and a young girl, he wants to write a poem for a while." ”

Mo Miaomiao muttered: "Big brother, big brother, my brother is much younger than you!"

The scholar was immediately very embarrassed when he heard this, so he had to apologize with a wry smile, saying that his eyes were not good, and the little brother was not to blame.

Zhang Muliuxin said that if it is really calculated, I am more than ten generations older than your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. Just looked at the scholar very interestingly, so he said: "It's okay, my generation of Jianghu people don't care about this, it's freezing outside at the moment, since the scholar is poetic, I am also willing to listen." ”

The scholar was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then it will be ugly in the next place!"

Seeing that he thought about it a little, he said: "There is a little snow outside the door, and the scholar travels back to his hometown." Wouldn't it be in vain to read thousands of books and be hungry?"

After listening to this, Zhang Muliu's color was complicated, and after a long while, he heard the man say again: "When I came, there were few customers in the shop, but the fragrance was long. The young girl of Susha muttered, and the sword was not frivolous. ”

After the scholar finished reading, he looked at Zhang Muliu with hope in his eyes.

Zhang Muliu couldn't help but didn't raise his hand to cover his face, just pursed his mouth tightly, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Well!

Mo Miao burst out laughing, and after being glared at by Zhang Muliu, he hurriedly endured it, and after Zhang Muliu turned his head, he began to laugh non-stop, and finally he couldn't hold it back, and said with a laugh:

"Yes... I'm sorry! I can't hold it back. ”

The scholar looked embarrassed, and after a moment laughed and said, "Look, laugh, right? I just want to make you happy." You and I are both strangers, how good is it to smile when we meet?"

At this moment, another person came in from outside the door, who looked no more than thirty years old, dressed very funny, wearing thin clothes, but I don't know how many pieces weighed up, wrapped like a zongzi, that is, sat down, and the people who watched also thought that this person must be squatting.

The proprietress brought two dishes to Zhang Muliu, handed over the chopsticks, and said what she had already said to the two groups of people. After she finished speaking, the young man like a rice dumpling slowly said: "Scrambled eggs, shoot a cucumber, and preferably a plate of peanuts." ”

The scholar smiled: "This brother doesn't want to drink?"

The man replied, "You give me the money?"

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "The two friends can drink and eat meat with confidence, and Zhang will give money." ”

The proprietress brought out a few dishes from inside, turned around and took three pots of wine and put them on the table for three people, and said slowly after standing still: "If that son said that he was going to kill demons, I still believe it, you two, one is a scholar and the other is sick in the brain, isn't this going to die?"

Mo Miaomiao had already grabbed Zhang Muliu's arm, leaned over hard, and whispered, "Is there a demon?"

The young man with the sword on his back touched the head of the girl next to him and said with a smile: "You are still afraid of monsters!"

The little girl blushed a little, but she was really afraid, so she pouted and whispered, "Aren't you afraid?"

Several people in the room laughed in unison: "I'm afraid!"

The scholar was from Jinling and his name was Yue Ran, and the zongzi was from Wu and was called Qiu Xuancong. Zhang Muliu recognized it at first sight, two proud sons who are famous in the world, they have to cover their faces when they go out, otherwise they will definitely be surrounded by a group of girls.

There are too many people who are very young but have a very high realm, but it is rare to have strong combat power. Zhang Muliu's eyes are two of the strongest of the recognized young generation.

The proprietress is indeed just the owner of an ordinary small restaurant, but there are too many people who want to kill demons, and it is difficult for her to think about it, but among the ten young people, there are no more than three who can come back to eat her plate of stir-fried vegetables. So every time she treats those people to eat and drink well, she will persuade them, if they don't listen, the wine is enough.

Yue Ran smiled and said to Zhang Muliu: "Brother Zhang is now well-known! Three of the four great countries have offended you, and he has also slaughtered a real person who protects the country. If Brother Zhang is here, the two of us will definitely have no worries, don't you say, Brother Qiu?"

Qiu Xuancong, who was like a zongzi, ate something in a big gulp, and said vaguely: "What you say is very true, what you say is very true." ”

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "I'm not interested in that thing, the two of you just have to pick it up, and Zhang is still in a hurry, so I won't accompany you." ”

Qiu Xuancong wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, poured another sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Then how can I do it, how can I be a friend if I don't fight." ”

Zhang Muliu said helplessly: "The little brother really needs to hurry, how about fighting again in the future?"

Yue Ran stood up and toasted with the two, and after taking a drink himself, he said slowly: "Since Brother Zhang has no intention of competing with us, then make an appointment in the future?"

Zhang Muliu nodded slowly and then continued to eat, Mo Miaomiao had been eating, she was afraid that her brother, who loved to fight, would not be able to hold back and beat people again, this would not work!

In the end, Mu Liu sent the two of them a sentence - although the treasure is good, where is the life important?

It's a strange place, as if everything you walk in is under the eyes of others, and your every move is being spied on by someone in the dark. Although the smell of the treasure is like a lamp in the night, it is very annoying, but it is still the same sentence, life is important.

A child in the sea of clouds laughed and scolded: "This kid is really sorry for his life! But fortunately he didn't get involved, otherwise he would have beaten him half to death, and the old man wouldn't have skinned me alive?"

Scholar Yue Ran and Qiu Xuancong were very puzzled, they were obviously a bold person, why were they very careful at this moment?

As soon as the two of them got out of the small restaurant, they were dragged directly to the sea of clouds. After seeing that the person who dragged him directly to the sea of clouds was a little boy, both of them regretted their intestines.

This guy is too unkind!

Qiu Xuancong sneered and said: "Senior, we are having fun, don't be angry, let's go, don't send it!"

Yue Ran was the same, nodding his head.

But what does that kid-like monk care about you? Why did you go earlier? Don't look at the kid surnamed Zhang, just leave, hey!

So the screams in the clouds continued, and after more than an hour, the two were beaten straight and fell into the East China Sea.

Yue Ran lay on the surface of the sea and had nothing to love, and after a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, this kid is really a pit! ”

Qiu Xuancong gritted his teeth, touched his swollen buttocks, and said loudly: "The surname is Zhang, Lao Tzu is not finished with you, and I will not be surnamed Qiu next time I don't kill you." ”

Yue Ran, a scholar on the side, didn't want to hit him, but he still couldn't help but say, "Do you really think you beat him?

Qiu Xuancong thought about it, and shouted again: "Next time, if I can't beat you, I'll change my surname to Qiu!"

Yue Ran floated on the surface of the sea and held his forehead with his hand, and said in his heart, How did I find this fool to be my brother?

Zhang Mu walked out of the restaurant and walked less than two miles, suddenly picked up Mo Miaomiao and ran away, the sword was extremely fast, and he went out for hundreds of miles in a short time, until he didn't have the feeling of being spied on.

I was thinking about going that way, when suddenly I sneezed incessantly. So he scolded and said: "The two who want money and don't want to die, Lao Tzu will tell you directly to run away, you are still there and do not move, who will be beaten if you don't get beaten?"

Mo Miaomiao was puzzled: "What's the matter? Is that monster very powerful? The two people before can't beat it?"

Zhang Muliu smiled bitterly: "That's not a powerful thing, if those two people don't make the family angry, at most they will be seriously injured, but if they make him unhappy at all, they will definitely be killed!"

Mo Miaomiao's face was strange, she wiped her chest, and whispered: "It's so dangerous! It's good that we run fast, otherwise we'll feed the monsters!"

Zhang Muliu smiled and picked up the little girl and continued to walk forward, this run was almost to Jinling, I had to take a detour quickly, and I had to go around in a big circle, the letter still had to be delivered, even if the person waiting for the letter already knew what the letter writer said.

Suddenly, there was another voice in his ears, and Zhang Muliu ran away. Mo Miao said in her heart, what's the matter? The big monster is chasing after you?

A young man who looked very bookish chased after him, stopped in front of Zhang Muliu and scolded with a smile:

"You're still fucking running?"

Zhang Muliu sneered and said: "The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are really nourishing, and they are all white!"

How long has it been since I saw it? Chang'an City beat Yu Zhenren, Zhuolu City beat He Zhenren again, and fucking killed Shan Zhenren of Yue Kingdom, and his reputation will overshadow those proud sons of the sky. Today, there is another black line flying from the middle of the canal to the direction of Jinling, of course Qiao Yushan wants to come and see, it is really this kid.

"It's been four or five months, and you've arrived at Niuhezhou, and you've only arrived at the edge of Jinling?"

Zhang Muliu said speechlessly: "It's an exaggeration! What to build to Niuhe Prefecture, at most build a road from Xiaozhu Mountain to Xiaozhu Town." ”

The little girl plucked up her courage and said loudly, "Who are you, how can you talk to my brother?"

The young man, who was no longer dark, but only slightly darkened, smiled: "I am your brother's brother!"

The young man in white with a sword on his back was actually quite happy, he hadn't bought the wine before, but now someone has come to deliver the wine.

The two of them went all the way to the bank of the river, found a mountain pavilion and sat opposite, Mo Miaomiao followed Zhang Muliu for a day, he was already tired, and now he was lying on the bench and fell asleep.

Qiao Yushan stared at Mo Miaomiao, and then raised his head at Zhang Muliu, which meant "What's the matter? Why is there a little girl again?"

Zhang Muliu suddenly laughed, he had passed by a small county when he traveled south with Shi Jiaming before, and everyone from the county to the small was picking up stones on the side of the road. Shi Jiaming stepped forward and asked, "Why are so many people here?"

The head of the place was a catcher, and he sighed and said: "The new official has taken office with three fires! No, on the first day of his appointment, our county lord ordered people with public offices to take the lead and go to the roadside and river to pick up stones, saying that no gravel can be seen on the left and right twenty zhang of the roadside, and no girl can be seen within fifty zhang. ”

Shi Jiaming was suddenly furious: "What's wrong with his mother's girl? If you don't let the girl come out, how can Lao Tzu find a daughter-in-law? The reason why Yue Guo is so bad is because of this kind of official!"

Coming back to his senses, Zhang Muliu looked at the snow on both sides of the river, and said lightly: "I first strayed into a secret realm, fought with a senior, and got this sword." Later, because of some things, I picked a mountain, and then the world changed dramatically, Jiuze reappeared, I happened to be on the edge of Onozawa, and I was beaten by a senior, and I slept for three months. Because Xin Zuo was injured, and he pulled out the real protector of the Yue Kingdom, so he planned it, who knew that he would still die, and the realm of the people behind it was extremely high!"

After hearing this, Qiao Yushan smiled and said, "So now you have a sword?"

Zhang Muliu nodded, and said what Chen Xinzuo had discussed with him. Qiao Yushan also said that it was a good idea, and when he was stationed in Liang Country in the future, he could do childcare, so I was also a big celebrity in this Jiangnan country.

Zhang Muliu said: "Xiao Pan didn't look for you to treat the water?"

Qiao Yushan said with a smile: "I've found it! When I returned to the trip, I had already seen Yunmeng and Peng Ze flooded, and I was going to take a trip to Zhenze before the year." ”

Speaking of this, the second brother of the sworn bow was a little speechless, but finally sighed, pressed Zhang Muliu's shoulder, and said softly: "The stone statue in Yunmengze is a very beautiful woman, holding a thin sword, and the sword body is engraved with two words. ”

Zhang Muliu was a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked what the word was?

Qiao Yushan said in a low voice: "Zhen Zhen!"

In an instant, the young man in white with a sword on his back was blank, took out the wine bag with trembling hands, and found that it was empty, so he looked at Qiao Yushan as if asking for help, and the latter reluctantly took out a jar of wine and handed it to Zhang Muliu.

Zhang Muliu slowly got up, stood in the snow and drank wildly, and suddenly remembered many things.

One night a few years ago, Zhang Muliu got up in the middle of the night and found that there was no one by the pillow, and suddenly he was very uneasy, and went all over the house to find the girl who liked to wear a green skirt to show himself, and finally saw a very beautiful girl washing his clothes in the ice and snow by the well in the backyard!

Although he was a monk at that time, he didn't have much money, and he never told the girl that he was a monk. Therefore, Zhang Muliu still has to go out to work every day, and he can only come back for dinner at noon, and he does not go home until night. One day it was raining heavily, and the young master didn't know where to run, so he could only go home alone, and he was afraid that there was no rain on his body to make the girl suspicious, so he ran back in the rain.

Actually, where is the problem of eating or not eating? I just want to go back and see the girl soon. But Zhang Muliu, who was still a teenager at that time, regretted it a little when the door opened.

The woman saw Zhang Muliu, who was covered in water, and pulled him into the room with a wrinkled face. When he helped Zhang Muliu change his clothes, he couldn't hold back anymore, crying and saying, "Don't come back when it rains! ”

Since the two separated four years ago, they have only written one letter to each other. Zhang Muliu, who looked like an old man, picked up the lamp at night and looked at the reply, and when he looked at it, he couldn't stop crying, and there was only one sentence in the letter:

"It's good. ”

The young people outside the pavilion still drank non-stop, Qiao Yushan didn't persuade him, he couldn't persuade him.

Zhang Muliu lost the jar and lay in the snow, tears flowing down the corners of his eyes into his sideburns, and muttered: "It turns out that the one in the dream is also you!

Mo Miaomiao didn't know when she had woken up, and she didn't know what was going on, but she just felt that this young man who had taken herself all the way and regarded herself as her own sister was very sad now.

She slowly stepped forward, knelt in front of Zhang Muliu's head, stretched out her hand to wipe away the young man's tears, but she didn't know why she was also sad, so a little girl held Zhang Muliu's face upside down, and said softly:

"Brother, don't cry, okay? Miao Miao is with you!"

The young man sitting alone in the pavilion finally spoke up: "When Lao Tzu eats idle food, although the fight is not as good as you, who can control the water today? You fucking either fight with me today, or go and practice well, there is no one in this world to save her, then rush out and come back!"

said some heart-wrenching words, but Zhang Muliu was still indifferent. How could Qiao Yushan not know how others could put themselves in the shoes of others to understand the injuries of others, and where could anyone who had been stabbed hurt, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Mo Miaomiao suddenly cried loudly: "My grandfather is gone, even the father I haven't seen is gone, there is only one of you left, don't you care about me?"

Zhang Muliu grabbed a handful of snow and pasted it on his forehead, and waited for the snow to turn into snow before he slowly opened his eyes, squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "How could I ignore you?"

After that, he roared and shouted: "Second brother, you have to help me!"

Qiao Yushan smiled: "Lao Tzu doesn't help you, who the hell will help you?"

Mo Miaomiao also smiled happily, but her tears still flowed.

Zhang Muliu got up slowly, picked up Mo Miaomiao, turned to Qiao Yushan and said, "I'm sorry! ”

Qiao Yushan threw a large jar of wine over, and Zhang Muliu instantly tightened it into his sleeve. I only heard the second brother, who was very good at water control, say: "A hundred miles ahead, deep in the dense forest, there is an old Taoist priest who loves to drink and is waiting for you, he is the recipient of the letter." ”

Zhang Muliu turned around with a smile, turned his back to Qiao Yushan, waved his hand and walked up against the river. At this time, Qiao Yushan behind him said: "It's hard work! ”

Zhang Muliu waved to him again, signaling to hurry up.

Qiao Yushan shouted with a smile: "I'm really happy to see you kid carrying a sword on your back!"
