06 Xue Hongtu, the head of the Qingshui case
"Xiao Sheng listened to the words of the two of them, and thought it was very interesting, why don't you sit down and talk about it together?" said the young man in a white robe with his long hair pulled up with blue strips of cloth up
"Well, okay, let's talk. Eh, run the hall, run the hall" Shen Shanhe said after sitting down
"Here, what do the two sons command?" the runner walked over quickly
"We have a place now, we need to have some food. Let's come to the best three dishes you sell here, and some good wine," Shen Shanhe said
"Okay, you two wait a moment," he said, and left immediately
Xiao Sheng only listened to a few words, ridiculous person. The two said that Xiaosheng could not continue to talk, and Xiaosheng had not yet come up with an answer to this question."
"The content of the conversation between the two sons made Xiaosheng want to get acquainted with the two of them and talk about the things that have been bothering me. Xiaosheng's surname is Xue, and he is called Xue Hongtu."
"The sudden Hong, the apprentice's apprentice, has lived in Qingshui County for generations, is eighteen years old this year, and has no marriage contract for the time being," Xue Hongtu said
"Hello Brother Xue, my name is Shen Shanhe, a mountain and a big river, just these two words. Dynasties, I don't know, I have lived in Liuli Mountain for twenty years, and there is no marriage contract, this is Chu..."Shen Shanhe said
"Let me tell you myself, my surname is Chu, and my name is Chu Xingjue. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty years old this year, and now, there is no fixed place to live, and there is no marriage contract. Brother Shen and I met halfway through the road and decided to wander the world together in the future."
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"Brother Shen, Brother Chu, both of them are outsiders. The best selling of thyme is indeed a signature dish, but if it is said to be the most flavorful, only the locals know about it."
"If the two brothers don't dislike it, you can try my dish. Don't look at the ingredients are the same, the taste of each bite is different."
Xue Hongtu spoke, moving the dish in front of him to the middle of the table, just the same distance from the three of them
"Brother Xue, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate" After Shen Shanhe finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, and Chu Xingjue took a bite and chewed slowly
"This taste is really good, one bite, there are several flavors, little by little changes, how do you do it?" Shen Shanhe said
"This little student doesn't know, it is estimated that the only people who know the secret recipe are the cook and the boss," Xue Hongtu said
"It's also ha, what is the thing that Brother Xue just said that has been bothering you?" asked Shen Shanhe
"Xiaosheng is a scholar, and his dream has always been to be an official and become an official in the court. If there is such a day, I will leave Qingshui County."
"My little parents have lived here for generations, and this is more than just a county town for me. I can't bear to be here, I can't bear to be here with a single grass or tree, and I can't bear to be with everyone here."
"If Xiaosheng becomes an official in the court, he can't live with them. I can't see what they're doing every day, whether they're happy or not."
"My father has always advised me to be ambitious, and I know and understand. But if you really let Xiaosheng make a decision, Xiaosheng doesn't know how to decide."
Xue Hongtu said
"Everyone has their own dreams, and most of them want to be officials. Xiao Xue, you studied hard in the cold window, in order to enter the court to be an official. What is the purpose of becoming an official in the court?" Chu Xingjue said
"Xiao Sheng is not afraid of the jokes of the two brothers when he says it, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng cares about the people of the world and wants everyone to be happy," Xue Hongtu said
"Then you have lived here for a long time, how can you make the people of the world happy? Then you really care about the people of the world, and ah, Qingshui County, you want to make the people here happy."
"Stay here, indeed, you can see them every day. So what do you do when they're unhappy? Reluctance, companionship, sometimes not a good decision"
"Of course, these are just a few pieces of advice from me. There are many factors that influence everyone's decision, and you may be facing more than that, and it's not just the factors you say."
"At the age of seventeen or eighteen, no matter where you are, you have your own problems. This problem can only be solved by yourself, as a man"
"Say the words and spill the water, you can have all kinds of ideas. But once you put it into action, don't regret any decision"
"In this world, if you come alone and go alone, you have to fight alone. What you want to pursue, only you can pursue"
"Scholar, I've seen some of them, and I hope you never forget this dream. The road is sometimes like this dish, with all kinds of flavors, gradually, suddenly."
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said, he didn't pay attention to what he said, and only after saying it did he feel a little thirsty, so he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat
"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, thank you Brother Chu, Xiaosheng will think about it carefully. Listening to Brother Chu's words, it seems that he is a person who has seen the world, can Brother Chu tell me about this matter outside Qingshui County?"
Xue Hongtu said
"I don't know a lot, it's better to see things out there than to see for yourself. You're like a blank sheet of paper right now, and I don't want to get the ink on it."
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"Brother Chu is right, this is the same as practicing martial arts, you have to understand it yourself, those famous martial artists on the rivers and lakes, the famous moves are all realized by yourself"
"Brother Chu is a man with a story, but he's broken in two. There is no more past, there will only be a future in the future," Shen Shanhe said
"Xiao Sheng didn't want to inquire about Brother Chu's past, he just wanted to hear what the world outside Qingshui County was like, how offensive, I'm really embarrassed"
Xue Hongtu hurriedly spoke
"It's okay, this kind of thing is normal, I really like Master's words, heroes don't ask the source. By the way, Brother Xue, have you ever been to Liuli Mountain?" Shen Shanhe said
"No, it's a forbidden area, no one dares to go there, Brother Shen came out of the forbidden area, are there many people in it?" Xue Hongtu asked
"There aren't many people, just me and my master. Forbidden area, no wonder I haven't seen anyone go up the mountain for so many years, does Brother Xue know why Liuli Mountain is a forbidden area?" Shen Shanhe said
"Xiaosheng heard about it, but I heard that fifty years ago, I was born with a vision, Liuli Mountain was full of red light, the imperial court sent troops to explore, and there was no survivor, and it was said that there were ghosts and monsters in the mountains."
"Since then, few people have gone to Liuli Mountain, but there are always those who are brave enough to go up the mountain from time to time, but they never go down the mountain, and no one goes up the mountain after the story spreads little by little, which is really weird."
However, Xiao Sheng didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world, so he asked Brother Shen if there were any other people on the mountain. Brother Shen is here, which shows that the theory of ghosts and gods is not credible."
Xue Hongtu said
"I haven't seen ghosts or gods, but I've seen a lot of beasts. It's a little strange that the army can't be beaten by wild beasts without a lifetime."
Shen Shanhe opened his mouth and said
"Two sons, the dishes are ready, please use them slowly" The runner put the three dishes and a pot of wine on the table one by one and left quickly
"Okay, try the signature dish here and see if there is any taste of Brother Xue's" Shen Shanhe opened his mouth and picked up the chopsticks
After three rounds of drinking, the cups and plates were messy, Shen Shanhe patted his stomach happily
"The taste of the wine and food is excellent, I forgot what this rice tastes like," Shen Shanhe said
"The taste is really good, compared to, well, there is a taste of all places everywhere" Chu Xingjue said
"Those who run the hall, pay the bill," Shen Shanhe said
"Brother Shen, I'll pay for this meal," Xue Hongtu said
"Brother Xue, don't be polite, if it weren't for Brother Xue, the two of us don't know when we would be able to eat," Shen Shanhe said
"No, no, no, Brother Chu woke up the dreamer with a word, this wine and food, Xiaosheng chatted and expressed his heart," Xue Hongtu said
"Xiao Xue, don't fight, Brother Shen and I just met today. This meal is naturally invited by him, you still have a long way to go, don't fight"
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"Okay, I will have the opportunity to invite the two brothers to eat wine and food in the future," Xue Hongtu said
"I have a wide range of things, and Xiao Xue may not necessarily go anywhere in the future, just a meal of wine and food. Xiao Xue doesn't have to care, if the two of us are free, I will go to look for you, what is Xiao Xue's identity now?"
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"Xiaosheng is not talented, he is the head of the case in Qingshui County. Brother Chu, if you want to meet in the future, you may really need fate, Xiaosheng will give Brother Chu another glass of wine" Xue Hongtu drank a glass of wine after finishing speaking
"If we want to find you, just ask more, if you are looking for us, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find" Chu Xingjue said
"Okay, Xiaosheng and the other two brothers come to the door, he will prepare good wine and food every day, and he will rest when he is drunk," Xue Hongtu said
"Well, if you have the chance, you will definitely come to the door, how many silver taels?" Shen Shanhe said as he looked at the opening of the running hall beside him
"A tael of silver," said the runner
Shen Shanhe took out a tael of silver from the entanglement and handed it to the runner, and the three of them walked out of the door one after another, and Xue Hongtu slowly disappeared into the flow of people
"Xiao Xue is angry, I don't know how much I understand," Chu Xingjue said as he walked
"I didn't understand much, I couldn't say a word. It's also fate, if I go down the mountain by myself and meet Brother Xue, I will be speechless."
Shen Shanhe opened his mouth and said
"That's not going to happen, you and Xiao Xue have no possibility of communicating at all. A swordsman, a scholar, it seems that there is nothing to talk about going together"
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"How can you not have it, such as dreams, preferences, girls. Talking about the world, in short, there must be something to talk about, and besides, I'm not a swordsman, I just use a sword."
Shen Shanhe opened his mouth and said
"It's really possible that there will be common topics, and most of the time men will talk to girls. Brother Shen, what kind of girl do you like?"
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"I don't know. The pretty girls on the street make my heart skip a beat, and I don't know which one I like. If I like the heartbeat, then I like it a little too much."
Shen Shanhe opened his mouth and said
"Brother Shen has been in the mountains for a long time, and he likes it not love. There are many people who can make your heart move, but there will only be one that you want to stay with for a lifetime."
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"I don't understand," Shen Shanhe said
"This kind of thing can't be explained, just take the dish as an example, there are many dishes you like, but there is only one dish you love the most, if you want to eat this dish for a lifetime, it is love"
Chu Xingjue opened his mouth and said
"Okay, I still don't understand," Shen Shanhe said
"This kind of feeling is really not something that can be said clearly" Chu Xing said helplessly, how can you say this kind of thing clearly
"Well, Brother Xue said just now that he was the head of the case, what is this identity?" asked Shen Shanhe
