Chapter Ninety-Three: Dreaming of returning to Qingshui Creek, the past is not to be remembered

Ye Fei returned to the mansion in a daze, Zhang Xiaochuan was still muttering to himself, "I hurt her, I hurt her!" Ye Fei saw him so sad and lost, and he couldn't give up, so he persuaded him to rest for a while. Zhang Xiaochuan waved his hand and motioned for him to leave. Ye Fei didn't worry about him, looked at him suspiciously and couldn't bear to leave, Zhang Xiaochuan nodded to him, and Ye Fei left.

Zhang Xiaochuan thought about Bing Ziyan's appearance, thinking about the separation of yin and yang now, and thinking about what Bing Qian said: You killed her. Zhang Xiaochuan regretted and hated, regretted seeing Bing Ziyan again, hated why he didn't have foresight, why didn't he know how to think about her. Although Bing Ziyan had no wishes for herself, Zhang Xiaochuan was also heartbroken when she thought that she would eventually die because of herself, and she couldn't let go for a long time.

"Bingqian is Ziyan's daughter, and she hates me very much, so she came to make trouble, she is for catharsis. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochuan's heart was shocked, "Then who is the other girl?" Zhang Xiaochuan thought about Princess Mingyang, Ren Fangfei, and Lan Ting one by one, and couldn't figure it out, but there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart. Thinking that he indulged his feelings, failed them, and did a lot of ridiculous things, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. And Ruomei Fairy, didn't I hurt them all? How did I become like this step by step? Who hurt me? Of course it's me, self-indulgent. Why did I indulge myself and get to where I am today, step by step? Who else but myself? Hey, Xiao Yezi is pitiful enough, she can't help herself, but fortunately, Brother Zhou loves her very much. And Brother Zhou, if I hadn't met him, would I have been like this, alas! It's hard to say. Zhang Xiaochuan thought about it, his heart was like numbness, and suddenly a figure jumped into his heart, "Aunt Li, and Aunt Li, why did she treat me like that at that time?" A wave of hatred surged into Zhang Xiaochuan's heart, and his teeth were gritted loudly. "I want revenge, I want revenge!" the cruel words that have been ringing in my ears for many years.

That night, he entered that dream again, first Xiao Yezi was making love to him, and then became Princess Mingyang for a while, and then became Ren Fangfei for a while, Bing Ziyan, Lan Ting, Ruomei Fairy, and finally Aunt Li, Zhang Xiaochuan woke up from the dream, and hatred rose in his heart.

At that time, the upright Kou Zhun was excluded, he was brilliant and vicious, but he was not reused. Zhang Xiaochuan saw that Emperor Zhenzong was no longer the little emperor he was back then, he liked to listen to flattery and get close to the traitor. The external troubles have not been eliminated, but Emperor Zhenzong is so happy that he likes others to sing praises of virtue, Zhang Xiaochuan knows that he knows the wrong person again, and when he thinks of his uncle, he is even more ashamed and bored. Later, he encountered several unexplained harassments, Zhang Xiaochuan really wanted to escape, he really wanted to hide in a place where others couldn't find it. "Qingshuixi", these words naturally popped out, Zhang Xiaochuan immediately made up his mind, and immediately told Emperor Zhenzong for a long vacation, and Emperor Zhenzong had no choice but to approve it. Zhang Xiaochuan said that he would leave, and explained to Zhou Ming, telling him not to tell anyone about his whereabouts, and set off after cleaning up.

Zhang Xiaochuan traveled for a day, safe and sound, put into the store at night to stay, but the next morning he disappeared the mount, looking for the store theory, the store was very anxious, but where to find. The shopkeeper said kind words to Zhang Xiaochuan, and was busy returning his room money and giving him an extra two taels of silver. These compensation are far from the value of the horse, Zhang Xiaochuan smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, forget it, I think I'm unlucky." Zhang Xiaochuan carried the package and left the store. Zhang Xiaochuan knew that someone was making trouble, but he was in the light and others were in the dark, but there was nothing he could do. Zhang Xiaochuan hired a carriage, and from time to time there were fast horses galloping past on the way, and he looked out, but he couldn't see anything unusual. At night, the driver went by car, Zhang Xiaochuan didn't have to worry about the safety of the mount, but it was worry-free, but it was extremely inconvenient.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaochuan rested, he slept soundly, and suddenly the doors and windows rang "tuk tuk", someone was knocking on the door. Zhang Xiaochuan was in a daze, feeling that his door was ringing. "Who's outside?" Zhang Xiaochuan asked, and the sound stopped abruptly, and there was no movement. Zhang Xiaochuan was about to sleep again, and the sound of "tuk tuk" rose again. Zhang Xiaochuan got up quietly, but the sound had stopped. He came to the door quietly, pulled it open, and walked out to check, but the hallway was empty. Zhang Xiaochuan quickly ran to the end of the corridor and found nothing. Zhang Xiaochuan's heart moved, turned around and returned to the room, carried the package and went out of the store. He unfolded his body and ran wildly all the way, in the dark night, there was no one all the way, and he was not afraid of others making a fuss when they saw it. Zhang Xiaochuan ran for two hours, the sky was getting brighter, and he arrived at a market town, thinking that it was not a way to be harassed by people all the time. Zhang Xiaochuan found a small inn to live in, called the shopkeeper, and asked him to help him buy some silver powder, glue, as well as some cosmetics for women, and an old man's clothes. Zhang Xiaochuan first rewarded the shopkeeper two taels of silver, and then gave him another money to buy things, the shopkeeper saw that he was generous, and went happily, and after a while, he bought it back for Zhang Xiaochuan.

Zhang Xiaochuan began to tinker in the room, he made his hair gray-white, and he glued a white beard, making his face pale, he saw himself in the mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and when he changed into the old man's clothes, he was even more proud, thinking that no one would be able to recognize him again. He packed up and walked out of the store, deliberately slowing down, lowering his head, bending over, pretending to be unable to move, but his eyes secretly observed the surroundings to see if there was anything unusual. He hired a donkey cart in the street and rode on his way. After walking for a long time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind me.

In a few moments the two horses approached, and the men on the horses stopped the donkey cart. The driver of the donkey cart was a countryman in his forties, and he was stopped by two teenagers, a man and a woman. The men's clothes are gorgeous, the women's are elegant, all equipped with swords, and they are really a pair of beautiful women who are peerless on horses. The coachman clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "I wonder what the two petty officials have to say?" "We are looking for someone, I don't know who the uncle is pulling in the car?" "I don't know who you are looking for?" "The person we are looking for is a handsome young man, in his twenties. "Oh, that's not right, but I have an uncle in the car. When they heard him say this, they did not believe it. The boy lifted the curtain and saw an extremely pale face, with white hair and a white beard. Seeing that he had lifted the curtain and had a frightened expression, the boy lowered the curtain in disappointment and said to the girl, "It is indeed an uncle, let's go!" Zhang Xiaochuan, who was sitting in the car, smiled proudly, and his heart finally got rid of them.

After doing this for a few days, knowing that they would no longer recognize themselves and would never follow, Zhang Xiaochuan went to buy a healthy horse, and went as he pleased, walking as he wanted, stopping when he wanted, and arriving at the foot of Qingniu Mountain in less than a day.

Zhang Xiaochuan remembered the situation when he first entered the rivers and lakes and met Lei Zhentian, it was really "thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi", Brother Lei went from a bandit to an official, and now he has become a general, and he is already in a high position, but he has no fun. Brother Lei is full of ambition, and he has done well in all aspects. It's a pity that Zhuge is both civil and military, but he ended up like this, Zhang Xiaochuan thought and felt a lot of emotion.

"Phew. Suddenly there was a shout, and a group of people and horses poured out of the dense forest, and soon galloped to the front, and the little minions in front shouted, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and if you want to live from here, leave to buy road money." Zhang Xiaochuan was amused and angry when he saw this gang of bandits, Brother Lei had already dismissed all the bandits when he left here, and he didn't want new bandits to gather here. Zhang Xiaochuan only thought about things, and didn't look at or respond, the minion thought he was scared stupid, and shouted, "Hey, little old man, that means you!" Zhang Xiaochuan didn't react for a while, and when he saw him pointing at himself, he suddenly realized that he was still in the middle of Qiao makeup. Zhang Xiaochuan laughed loudly, the voice was very loud, and the little minion was startled. "Your uncle, what are you laughing at, quickly leave your belongings, you can still save your life, if not。。。。。。 Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaochuan had already jumped up from his horse, lifted the minions and threw them into the bandit ranks, and they were immediately in a big mess, waving weapons and drumming bravely. Zhang Xiaochuan unfolded the elimination of the remote footwork, and used the kung fu of entering the white blade empty-handed, and a few ups and downs, instantly snatched the blades of the bandits. He grabbed one piece, threw another, and only listened to the sound of "choking, choking" endlessly. The bandits only felt that the figure flashed, and they lost the blade in their hands, and when they saw that the blades were thrown into a pile, it was only a moment, the bandits were shocked and discolored, stunned, how had they ever seen such a skill, and when they reacted, they ran away one by one, they all knew that it was important to save their lives, how could they dare to rob, Zhang Xiaochuan jumped back on the horse and walked slowly.

One day later, Zhang Xiaochuan arrived at Qingxi Town, which was as prosperous as ever, and he couldn't help but think of Wang Tian and Xiaoyezi. Wang Tian was originally a child of a rich family, if he hadn't met me, he might still be enjoying the life of fine clothes and food, how could he be in the rivers and lakes, he is now like a ghost, no one is a ghost or a ghost; "Alas! " Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Zhang Xiaochuan walked forward for some distance, the aroma of various meals rushed over, his stomach "gurgling", and he realized that it was already noon. Zhang Xiaochuan remembered the restaurant where he was tricked by Wang Tian and forced to work when he first arrived in Qingxi Town. Zhang Xiaochuan handed the horse to the shopkeeper, who gave him a strange look. Zhang Xiaochuan came into the store, the furnishings in the store have not changed, and the shopkeeper is still there, but the years have made him seem a little more vicissitudes. Zhang Xiaochuan chose a seat and sat down, and asked for two catties of beef, a bacon and bamboo shoots, and a jar of old wine. He ate and drank at the same time, thinking about all kinds of past events, the wine was finished, the meal was full, Zhang Xiaochuan met the account, came out of the store, slightly drunk, stepped on the horse and went to Qingshui Creek.

Zhang Xiaochuan beat the horse fast, the horse's foot strength was steady, and in less than two hours, he arrived at the entrance of the village. The stream is clear and the bamboo forest is in sight, and Zhang Xiaochuan feels very cordial when he sees the grass and trees here. There is a beautiful childhood here, there are too many nostalgia, Zhang Xiaochuan slowly walked to the stream, looked at the stream for a while, he jumped off the horse, led the horse into the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was still so dense, and he remembered the scene of practicing swords here, and Xiao Yezi was watching him intently from the side.

Zhang Xiaochuan pulled out the long sword and couldn't help dancing, after the seventy-two road free swordsmanship was practiced, the sword was still sheathed, he led the horse, and reluctantly left the bamboo forest. Seeing that it was getting dark, he wondered: Where should I be tonight? This is no better than Qingxi Town, and besides, I haven't figured out how to appear in Qingshuixi, especially in front of Aunt Li. You can't go to the village to spend the night, yes, Zhang Xiaochuan suddenly remembered the cave, so he went to the cave. Although it is already winter, it is not very cold here, and Zhang Xiaochuan does not care, expecting that in the cave, there will be another fire, so that it can deal with the past.

The next day, Zhang Xiaochuan got up early, and when the sun rose, he hid his belongings, put his horse in the forest to graze, and then went to the village.

After entering the village, there are many houses here, which shows that the changes in the village are not small. Zhang Xiaochuan walked all the way and watched all the way, and it was inevitable that he would sigh. The line is getting closer and closer, and his heart can't help but "pound" straight up, seeing Aunt Li, how can I retaliate, Uncle Li is honest, Xiao Xueyao has also grown up. Zhang Xiaochuan thought about it, and a few children ran by, shouting, "Hurry up, go and see Sai Xishi." "Aunt Li is called Tofu Shih Tzu, why is there another 'Sai Xi Shi'?" Zhang Xiaochuan called a child behind him and asked, "Children, I only heard that there is a tofu Shih Tzu here, why is there a 'Sai Xi Shi' here?" "Of course there is, 'Sai Xi Shi' is the daughter of Tofu Xi Shi, old man, you are a foreigner at first glance." Then the boy ran after his companion. "Yes, I'm from outside, I'm still an old man. Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but smile dumbly when he thought about it, no wonder the shopkeeper looked at him with strange eyes, he was an old man, but he had to pretend to be like it. He went to break a wooden stick, deliberately made a lot of dirt on his clothes, and painted his hands and face, and then walked slowly with his body slumped.

Zhang Xiaochuan saw a group of people in a circle from a distance, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a tofu stall, and people were buying tofu. Zhang Xiaochuan looked at the stall, behind it was a newly built mill, and on the right was a new house. It seems that Uncle Li and Aunt Li have lived a pretty good life over the years. Walking a few steps closer, Zhang Xiaochuan clearly saw Aunt Li's face, only to see her smiling, greeting people enthusiastically, adding a lot of charm, this "Tofu Shih" should be better than back then. It's just that why did you treat me like that back then, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel resentful.

Zhang Xiaochuan walked into the crowd and stared at that face, the past was unbearable, this face has always been his nightmare, a nightmare entanglement. The smile on this face became brighter, and the more unpleasant he felt in his heart. Zhang Xiaochuan took a few more steps forward, and slowly pushed the wooden stick against the stall shelves through the gap in the crowd, and only with a little force, the shelves were about to topple over. Zhang Xiaochuan imagined Aunt Li's panicked appearance, her hands were full of true qi, and she was about to transfer her strength to the wooden stick. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several children shouted, "Sai Xi Shi is here, Sai Xi Shi is here." Zhang Xiaochuan first accepted the wooden stick, and waited to see what "Sai Xishi" looked like.
