Broken Bamboo Chapter 22 Slow Walk

Hu Sasa may never know that her sister is not just scarred. Whether it is Tu Yuan Jing or Yellow-tailed Skink, they are just pawns of horses, and one of these two sisters is like the young man from Zhanbu Prefecture, both of whom are born with innate sword bodies, and the other is born with a strong Yin Yuan. Some people just like their qualifications, maybe they are not people. The southern giant that my mother said may be the Gan giant, and what Qiu Shui asks for is also related to this mysterious thing that has disappeared in Baiyue for thousands of years, whether it is a person or a strange beast, it is really hard to say.

Zhang Muliu walked on the street, the snowflakes were scattered, and he frowned and secretly hurt himself.

If this can be connected, then the world is too small. Along the way, almost everything was involved, starting with the old man in Fengcheng, no, since he went down to Jiangnan alone four years ago, this bureau has already begun.

The young man in the green shirt with the sword on his back suddenly had a trance feeling of a dream within a dream, as if the dream he had was real, but now the world is a dream.

What does it have to do with the female Ai recorded in the literary and historical records? Is it a country that has disappeared in the long years, or is it the female general? As soon as I thought of this, my head was as big as a fight, and I absolutely believed in that woman no matter what.

The snow finally stopped, and Zhang Muliu wanted to raise his hand to smash the dark clouds above countless times, but he finally endured it. The depressed young man walked alone on the street, and when the heavy snow stopped, the number of pedestrians gradually increased. Drag the family to buy New Year's goods on the street. There are a lot of Spring Festival couplets sold in particular, every secluded alley is full, most of them are not selling writing, but the time of the upcoming New Year, if it is the hot summer season to pick the Spring Festival couplets to sell, how can anyone buy?

Zhang Muliu didn't know what to do, and he didn't know where to go. I used to hear people say that every day when I grew up was lonely, maybe this is the loneliness of adults.

Why don't you have a hangover?

I walked alone to a wine shop, and there was no one there. The young man laughed at himself and beckoned to the servant, but the visitor said that there was only some old rice wine, and the young man had no choice but to ask if he was drunk? The little guy said that it was to see how much the guest had drunk.

It's really turbid wine, put a big jar on the table, Zhang Muliu was a little surprised at the first bite, where is the taste of rice wine, drink it and sting your throat, but it's okay.

Bowl after bowl, spicy throat but not intoxicating, if not intoxicating, drink more.

The old shopkeeper of the wine shop personally brought a plate of peanuts and a plate of fried bacon with quinoa, sat down at the table and smiled: "Is it feasible for the old man to exchange two dishes for a few sips of wine for this son?"

Zhang Muliu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, poured another bowl of wine before saying with a smile: "The old shopkeeper has a heart, it's freezing this day, it's not easy to find some quinoa." ”

The old man didn't see it, scooped a spoonful of wine and poured it into the empty bowl, and said to Zhang Muliu with emotion: "Who hasn't had some bad things? I also loved to drink when I was young." ”

The young man in green shirt said strangely: "There is a story?"

The old shopkeeper pushed over the wine bowl and slammed it with the young man's bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then slowly spoke as if nostalgic for the past: "Who didn't have a girl who I liked and couldn't get when I was young? When I was as old as you, I liked a woman very much, and at that time I even thought that no matter how beautiful other people were, she was not as good as her smiling at me, and every time I saw her, I was drunk as if I had drunk wine." But later, when I grew up, I had to live! My family was not a rich family, so I went to Yue Kingdom, and when I returned to my hometown, I made some money, but I was in my twenties. When I found out that the girl was not married, I went to look for her, but she was not doing well, so I asked her what she needed and wanted, and then sold it to her. Slowly, I felt a little bit like each other at the beginning. ”

Zhang Muliu picked up the wine jar and filled the bowls of the two, and asked in a low voice, "Was that girl the proprietress later?"

The old man looked at the wine in the bowl and said with a bitter smile: "No, where is it so easy! The two of them haven't seen each other for several years, and they look like they are the same as usual, in fact, everyone knows that they will never go back." One morning when I opened the door, I found a bag of five baht coins hanging in the door, with three words written on a piece of paper, and I never looked for the woman again. ”

Zhang Muliu said, "I'm sorry?"

The old man then took the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, and sighed: "I thought I liked her very much, and after seeing the bag of money, I lay in bed for a day, and then I thought I should drink some wine, but I bought a few jars of wine and found that I couldn't drink a sip." That's when I realized that I just thought I liked the woman very much. ”

The young man filled the old man with wine again, and quipped, "Does that woman feel that she is not worthy of the old shopkeeper?"

The old shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "Where do people think they are not worthy of me, it is because I am not worthy of her." She married into the family of a high-ranking official in Jinling, and she had gone a few years ago. But when you get a little older, there is nothing you can't see, the soil is buried to the root of your neck, and when you look back at the people and things of the past, it's more just nostalgia!"

The old man drank another bowl of wine, and then said to the young man with a smile: "What is there that can't be done? Why would a person come to my little shop to drink wine during the Chinese New Year?" ”

Zhang Muliu smiled bitterly, this rice wine that had been left for an unknown number of years seemed to be a little intoxicating. He untied the long sword behind his back and stood beside the table, and said to the old man: "Old man, I understand all the truths! But even if you can get by on your legs, you can't get through it in your heart." I don't know if my beloved girl is dead or alive, and I'm not even sure if it's true or not. ”

The old man may have been a little upset, and he glared at him suddenly, and said with hatred: "Are you still a broken leg? You still look like a swordsman! Are you also blind? I don't know if it's true or not, even if it's dead or alive, don't you even know if you go to see it?"

The young man bowed his head and drank, bowl after bowl. The old shopkeeper didn't persuade him, but just looked straight at the young man who kept drinking, and when a large jar of rice wine bottomed out, the old man said slowly: "Of course we men want us men to take the initiative between men and women, don't you still want to wait for a woman to come all the way to you?"

Zhang Muliu suddenly raised his head and said drunkly: "No! I should go to her." ”

After saying a word, he didn't see the young man move for a long time, and the old shopkeeper said helplessly: "You know everything, why are you still here? Wait for the turtle or wait for the turtle? Fuck off, I'll treat the old man with wine." ”

As soon as the words fell, after a breeze, only the old shopkeeper was left in front of the wine table, and the long sword on the table was nowhere to be found. The old man shook his hand and raised the wine bowl after a long time, and only after the bowl was lowered did he slowly speak: "Did I persuade the ghosts for a long time or the immortals for a long time? ”

He Zitang is accompanying the two little girls to look at the lotus flowers in their yard, pale yellow lotus flowers are rare, although it is cold outside, but this pond is indeed full of life.

She suddenly raised her head to look west, and before she knew it, a smile crept up her cheeks.

Mo Miaomiao also raised her head and asked, "What is my mother looking at?"

The woman rubbed the heads of the two little girls and said with a smile, "Your brother has gone to see the person he wants to see the most." ”

A pale ink-colored long line cut through the sea of clouds, like a cool breeze drunk, and a long line was twisted and twisted to the west. A young man in a green shirt stepped on a long sword, and in a moment he went from Yang Han to the river, and then went up against the river, straight to Yunmengze, and thunder exploded everywhere he went!

The young man muttered, "It's been a long time, can you still see me? You don't want to see me, do you?"

Zhang Muliu ignored Liang Guo's soldiers and flew directly into Yun Mengze towards the statue of the woman. The chief soldier of Zhenze here is at least an earl, but he still doesn't have the courage to stop an immortal who comes from the sword.

Yun Mengze has been foggy since that day, and Liang Guo ordered the nearby fishermen not to enter without permission, otherwise it would be a crime of treason. In fact, there is no way, even if most people now know the existence of monks, and those who have seen the gods who fly to the sky and the earth are actually rich people and eat the country's fortunes. It's no wonder that ordinary people don't freak out when they see that huge stone statue!

Zhang Muliu went all the way to the sword, and finally hovered in front of the stone statue, walked slowly through the void, and gently raised his hand to put it on the forehead of the stone statue. The young man's lips trembled a little, and after a long time, he saw him take out a fire fold, which was very delicate, and it was made by himself when the woman in front of him was still a girl.

The young man was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I'm here, can you see it?" Back then, you asked me whether I chose to hold a sword or choose you, and I said that I chose a sword, but I regretted it, and I regretted it before I left Ganzhou. If I had to give it another chance, I would have chosen you. ”

Zhang Muliu trembled his lips again, shook his hand and held You Fang in his hand, and then raised his head and said to the stone statue: "I found a sword, it was given by an old senior, I will use it to save you." ”

A figure appeared not far away without warning, and a woman in red sneered: "Do you really think you can save her?

A sword light will slash towards the woman in red, and she will let the sword qi slash at Qiushui, and her body will retreat violently. After a while, she stepped forward again, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and still said very sarcastically: "Do you know why I didn't tell you about her? A woman with a real girl on her back, I can't guess who she is?"

Seeing that the young man was indifferent, she continued: "You think you are doing it. Affection is the most affectionate!"

Zhang Muliu's brows furrowed tightly, and another sword light fell away from Qiushui again. But the woman in red still did not relent, and stepped forward again, and scolded the young man in a loud voice: "The surname is Zhang, you are the most damn affection! It's the same for anyone, you don't know it yourself? But if there is an excuse that can make you think you have a clear conscience, will you distinguish between right and wrong in everything? You can only be regarded as a hypocrite!"

A silver-black long sword was slightly pressed against the center of Liqiushui's eyebrows, and a wisp of blood dripped down the tip of this stunningly beautiful woman's nose. Zhang Muliu finally said a sentence, just two short words:

"Death?"

Li Qiushui closed his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Muliu, no one's past is easy, but everyone will have countless bad things." It's not that the memories haunt you and you don't want to leave, it's that you don't want to let them go. ”

Zhang Muliu said: "No one is more reasonable than me......"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly an illusory figure jumped out of the stone statue with his hands behind his back, glared and said, "But you just can't do it, can you?"

The young man's eyes were red, and he quietly watched Li Yuzhen walk in front of him, stretched out his hand and gestured with his forehead, and found that he was about to reach the tip of the young man's nose, so he stood on tiptoe and said happily: "You've grown so tall!"

With tears on his face, the young man asked with a smile, "Are you coming back?"

I vaguely saw that the woman in the green dress was smiling very sweetly, and she was about to kick Zhang Muliu, but the kick passed through the young man's body.

So she said with a bitter face: "Don't beat girls, you! Of course, you can still beat that kind of bad thing, this girl doesn't look like a bad person, why do you beat her." ”

Zhang Muliu stared at Li Yuzhen and asked again, "Are you coming back?"

The woman raised her hand and gently stroked the young man's face, and was afraid that she would push too hard through the body of the person in front of her, so she carefully held Zhang Muliu's face, and her voice was gentle: "Haven't I been here all the time!"

"Don't think about it so much, your dream is a real dream, the me in the dream is also the real me, and the current me is also the real me. I'm glad that you're mine, both in and out of my dreams! I'm like someone else's soul, and I don't know where I'm from, maybe when there will be a woman who will go out of her way to find you, maybe it's me again. ”

The young man frowned and asked, "How did you suddenly become a great monk of Kunlun?"

Li Yuzhen shook his head and said: "I don't know, I suddenly remembered a lot of things, including you in the dream, I had to come here to guard Yun Mengze, in fact, I never died, but I don't know if there will be you in the memory of the owner of this split soul." ”

A wisp of soul division is the pinnacle of refining the void, how deep the cultivation of that body should be!

The woman no longer talked to Zhang Muliu, but turned to Li Qiushui and said: "He is a stubborn man, he was obviously a foundation building monk back then, but he didn't rely on the monk's means to make money, and he didn't spend a penny to save face, and I hurt him and him every day." But he is by no means the kind of person you think only cares about himself, otherwise I wouldn't like such an iron man. ”

Li Qiushui smiled and complained: "I have lived and died with him, do you know that he has a very ugly face on me because I am wearing a green dress." ”

The next two women kept whispering, and Zhang Muliu was extremely helpless.

It's almost too dark, and Yujian went to the barracks before leaving Qiushui, and a woman in red always stood on the bank of Daze with her arms crossed, scolding in her mouth: "Dare to hit me!" ”

Yun Mengze, a man in a green shirt sat at the foot of the huge stone statue, and a woman with an increasingly illusory body sat beside him.

The woman said lightly: "I'm leaving." ”

Zhang Muliu held back the trembling of his body and hummed softly.

The woman smiled and said, "Remember to miss me!"

Zhang Muliu still hummed softly.

The woman, who later learned that she had known the young man for a long time, gently took off the shoes on her feet, and the shoes instantly dissipated into the dense fog. She ran a few steps on the surface of the water, turned around and panted with her hands behind her back and shouted:

"Why don't you ask me what my name is?"

After speaking, his figure dissipated, Zhang Muliu finally didn't hold back his tears, smiled with tears, and choked up:

"And what's your name?"

......

A young man in a green shirt lay on the surface of the water, and a silver-black long sword hung in the air, and it didn't take long for him to float down the waves to the mouth of the river. Far away from Qiushui, Edgeworth followed behind him and went down the river.

The clear sky that has not been seen for a long time, there is not a trace of clouds as far as the eye can see, and the sky and the stars are very clear.

Zhang Muliu suddenly jumped into the sea of clouds, startling Liqiushui, and wanted to scold a few words, but for the sake of his sadness, he still endured it.

Another black line pierced the night sky, and when he reappeared, the young man was already in the small courtyard by the lake, followed by a woman in red. A very beautiful woman came out and said with a smile, "There are always people who want to go." ”

Zhang Muliu also smiled and said, "Mother! I couldn't help but beat my friend, can you make a meal of sauerkraut noodles and eat it?" I apologize to this friend. ”

He Zitang walked up to the woman in red, stretched out his hand to wipe the red spot on Liqiushui's forehead, and said softly: "He is a troublemaker when he beats a child, and when he was a child, he dared to squat on the edge of the courtyard of his fourth grandfather's house and scold people with his throat. But he's a good boy, I'll deduct him from drinking later, don't worry about it!"

Zhang Muliu said helplessly: "Otherwise, I'll let her beat me? ”

But the woman didn't answer him, because the woman in red beside her wiped a handful of tears and said something with a smile.

"When I went home this time, my mother left. ”

The young man blamed himself.

"Why should I let others be sad when I feel sad? ”

Li Qiushui grinned at the woman and said, "Actually, she has long wanted to leave, first, because she is older, and secondly, she sees that I am becoming more and more capable, so I don't have anything to worry about, so I went in my sleep." ”

He Zitang snorted, pulled the woman and went to the house, and said when he passed in front of Zhang Muliu: "Do you want to eat? Do it yourself, why did you give birth to a son with such eyes and a long ass as you." ”

The young man shook his head helplessly, yes, there was no one to mess with. Mo Miaomiao fell asleep at this time, and she didn't let the little girl stare at her for a long time.

Zhang Muliu sighed and rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen, kneading dough in the middle of the night.

There are only very few times when it is really hard to calm down. Just like in Yunmengze today, Zhang Muliu knew that there was no malice in Qiushui, and he also called someone by himself. But I just can't calm myself down in that place.

So the young man in a green shirt brought two bowls of noodles, first handed over a bowl to his mother, and then handed a bowl to Liqiushui with a smile, and said with a smile: "This... Sometimes I really can't help beating someone, and if I feel unhappy, then you go back and beat me?"

Li Qiushui glared and said, "No need, you just need to beat that giant to my stomach." ”

He Zitang squinted his eyes and looked south, and sneered: "There are really people who come to beg for a beating during the Chinese New Year!"
