Chapter 32 Beyond the Mountain, On the Mountain
"It's not uncommon to hear some gossip when you're wandering. On the contrary, you are in a scholarly family, and you don't care about the words of the sage, so it's strange that you care about these rumors, right?"
Su Yuxing looked up at the roof of the carriage, and Yu Qianshan said.
Mu Yanxu looked at Su Yuxing, she knew that her senior brother really didn't care about anything except practicing swords on the mountain, and she didn't even know who was the number one on the Heavenly Peerless List and the Qingyun List.
Yu Qianshan was really bent by Su Yuxing's words, and shrugged helplessly, "The rumors on the rivers and lakes, the deep palace rumors in the temples, and the interesting stories in the north and south of the river, I am mostly more enthusiastic." ”
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much. ”
Su Yuxing closed his eyes and said.
"It's not a big deal for me to know. ”
Yu Qianshan smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Su Yuxing didn't persuade him anymore, after all, Yu Qianshan, like him, was not a person who could be easily persuaded. And sometimes he says too much will make him misjudge, rather than saying more useless work, it is better to say less.
And Yu Qianshan has always known proportions.
After the two men talked, the interior of the carriage was quiet again. The conversation just now didn't seem to exist, and Yu Qianshan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out the window. Mu Yanxu's curtain fluttered, his legs were cross-legged, and the vermilion lacquer sword box beside him was quietly placed sideways next to Mu Yanxu's legs. Su Yuxing was still lying quietly in the carriage, his hands pillowed, his eyes closed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
———
The drizzle is like smoke and mist, like a diffuse fine sand, scattered on the treetops, scattered on the lotus leaves, dripping on the eaves, and a row of drainage droplets falls under the eaves, like a beautiful bead curtain. Outside the window, a drizzle of rain and dripping raindrops played an intoxicating music, so that the old man sitting in the rocking chair inadvertently remembered the past, and took the wine glass in front of the table and drank it all.
The old man's master was also an alcoholic, and he liked to tell the old man stories about the rivers and lakes when he was drunk.
"Master, Senior Brother is back!"
An exclamation from outside interrupted the old man's reverie.
"Don't shout, my old man can't stand your young voice. ”
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the young apprentice who shook his head and walked bumpily on the mountain road.
"Rime, since Yanxu followed Yuxing, no one has taken care of this mountain, and your junior disciples have emptied all the wine in your master's cellar. The old man said with a sad look on his face, looking at the empty wine glass and the flask next to him that had not shown a drop of wine.
"Wine. ”
In the drizzle in the mountains, the figure slowly emerged, and the rain fell on the figure, only to see the slightest trace of mist lingering, the placket was not wet, and he threw a few jars of wine in his hand to the old man very indifferently.
"This wine is like the wine in my wine cellar, sometimes it is filled with daughter red, mellow and makes people have an endless aftertaste, and sometimes it is filled with cloudy rice wine, burning the throat and choking the mouth, but it has a different taste after the stomach. ”
I saw the rocking chair shake, and the old man burped full of alcohol, and with a wave of his hand, several jars of wine fell to the ground.
Qian Wu Rime shook his head slightly, mentioned the little junior brother who was not walking fast, and came to the old man's side in a few leaps.
At this time, the old man's shabby linen clothes were slightly blown by the sudden wind, and his slender body stood up from the rocking chair, and walked slowly forward, slowly revealing the old man's vicissitudes of life, and a long scar at the corner of his left eye could not be dispersed.
"They didn't have any trouble on the way, did they?"
The old man said in a deep voice.
Qianwu Rime nodded, shook his head again, and was about to speak, but the old man seemed to anticipate what Qianwu Rime was going to say, and waved his hand gently, "It's not a big trouble if you don't die." ”
Qian Wu looked at the scar at the corner of the old man's eye, and suddenly remembered the first time he saw the old man, it was when he was young.
It was a gray rain, dark clouds, heavy rain in the air, the muddy ground hurried vehicles ran over one rut after another, the old man sat alone on the ground, the carriage passed by from time to time there was mud splashed on the old man's shabby brocade clothes, blood mixed with rain slid down the old man's cheeks drop by drop, his eyes were confused and sluggish, but in his hand he held a long sword that had been broken and full of cracks.
At that time, the young Qianwu Rime did not ask the old man what had happened before and what he would do in the future, but slowly walked to the old man's side, handed over an umbrella, covered the heavy rain, and stood quietly next to the old man.
The carriages came and went, the rain came and went, and one young and one big, one sat and one stopped, and they stood quietly on this muddy road.
"You don't think anything about your master, do you?!"
The old man's skinny palm slapped heavily on Qianwuri's back, and Qianwurime was stumbled by this sudden force and almost fell into the rain.
"No, I just want the second junior brother to let Yanxu go with Su Yuxing, isn't it inappropriate. ”
Thousand Fog Rair shook his head and said.
"Hey, you can't compare to Su Yuxing's little guy, pick up a few words from me and make me happy. ”
The old man was very dissatisfied with Qianwu Rime's answer, life on the mountain was boring enough, and this big apprentice of his own family didn't know how to make the master happy a few times.
"Then you can't let Yanxu stay in the mountains until she dies?"
The old man looked at Qianwu Rime looking at him with sincere eyes, and had been waiting for his answer, and asked with a sigh.
Chirime opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
"You also know that Yanxu's situation is getting worse and worse, even if there is Tianchenzhu given by Yang Xue's little girl, it is barely a breath of Yanxu. Even if she is asked to go down the mountain from time to time to kill those wicked people on the rivers and lakes, the murderous aura and gore still make her divinity unsatisfied, and the consequences of every time her divinity awakens with the spirit, you must have seen it when you were in Jia'an Village.
The price of this time is that the skin is cracked, so what will it be next time? Born Xuanling, Luo Yu six days, you and I know the meaning of these eight words. But since Yuxing went up the mountain, Yanxu's state has been inexplicably better, and occasionally appears with the spirit, which is also within Yanxu's control. Now letting Yanxu follow Yuxing is also the only choice at present. ”
The old man stretched out his hand to support the young apprentice to tidy up the wine jar, and looked at the thousand rime who bowed his head and was silent.
"You should go out and check it out now, too. ”
Turning his head to be silent, Qianwu Rime paused as he prepared to leave.
"Wu, you don't want to practice for a long time, so you can go out and have a look. You don't have to stay in the mountains with me, an old man of rotten wood. ”
The old man said calmly.
Dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky, and it was dark and oppressive, and heavy rain was coming.
"Old man Yu, isn't it okay for you to drive him out of the mountain like this?"
A figure in a lilac robe appeared on the roof, the belt around the waist of the robe was a little loose, the bright and gorgeous soft satin, a faint brilliance could be seen in this rainy day, a dark red hair was particularly remarkable, untied and untied behind him, and under the delicate willow eyebrows like a woman were a pair of dark purple charming eyes, and the corners of the eyes were slightly raised.
"You are all apprentices I received from the rivers and lakes halfway, you know the world, you know the world, only he has followed me up the mountain from the beginning, in addition to practicing martial arts, it is not bad to be silent and let him go down the mountain to hone and temper. ”
The old man said slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Old man Yu, I'm not worried about him, but about those people in the rivers and lakes. What you're afraid of letting him down the mountain is not to temper him, but to temper the people on the rivers and lakes, right?"
There was a playful chuckle from the rooftop, thunder in the sky, and a torrential downpour of rain.
