Chapter 186: Shaoxing
1
It's another bright morning.
The mood is still as heavy as ever.
Yu Shisan, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked me, "What's wrong with your hand?"
I picked up my fingers wrapped around the strips of cloth, and I felt annoyed. Last night, Yu 13 repeatedly showed me his personality of refusing to admit defeat, and even if the stone bullets flew like rain and hit him, he would still stubbornly stand up and say to me, come again.
I was infected by his stubbornness, and I only focused on popping one stone after another between my fingers, but I forgot the pain of my fingers being rubbed against the edges and corners of the stones.
"Not really. I said.
Yu 13 asked, "Then why are you wrapping your fingers?"
I was angry and said, "Because it hurts." ”
Yu Shisan couldn't help it after all, and laughed out loud, and between that smile, I really felt that he was a carefree teenager.
However, as soon as Yu Thirteen let go of the laughter, his no, he wrinkled in pain, his hands on his chest, and let out a low snort.
Last night, I threw more than 200 stones at him, and he caught more than 20 in total, and the rest hit his weak body without exception. However, he still forcibly endured the pain, did not say a single stop to me during the whole process, and always told me again and again, "Come again, come again". It wasn't until I felt that the night was really deep that I called him to stop.
At that time, I believed that Yu 13 would definitely become a very powerful swordsman. In this world, if you work hard, you may not succeed, but if you don't give up, you won't fail.

Two days later. Yu Shisan and I finally arrived at Lujia Villa.
It's been four years, and things are not people. The disciple of Lu Shi, who was almost beaten into an iceman by Lu Shiyi, who was crazy back then, has also grown from a round and lovely appearance to a strong and upright young man.
He danced a broom at the door, like a sword dance, and took the agile steps of the Lu family's swordsmanship, setting off a gust of wind around him. The fallen leaves all over the ground were swept away by him more and more, but he didn't care at all, as if those flying fallen leaves were one fierce enemy after another, and the broom in his hand was a sharp sword.
"Boom"
After a few sounds, the originally messy fallen leaves were all over the place after he danced. He stopped what he was doing and watched the fallen leaves drift across the courtyard, but his face was full of joy. It was as if the leaves on the ground were the corpses of the enemies he had slain one by one.
"What about your master?" I couldn't bear to disturb him, but I had to.
The disciple looked back at me, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he threw down the broom in his hand and ran frantically into the depths of the courtyard. It's like when he met Sharma.
However, at this time, there was no Sharma by my side, only Yu Thirteen.
Just when I was wondering. Lu Shi's figure appeared at the small door leading to the backyard, and he walked quickly towards me with a happy face.
"Hahaha," Lu Shi smiled brightly and said, "
Is Yue'er back, where is Yue'er?"
When he walked up to me, he still didn't stop laughing. I didn't answer him, just stared straight at his face, secretly observing his countenance.
Lu Shi's complexion was ruddy, and there seemed to be oil oozing from his pores, and his figure was much fuller than four years ago, and it could be seen that he was in a smooth mood and had eaten well over the years.
From his laughter, I could tell that he was full of internal strength and full of energy. Speech and demeanor are normal, and there is no sign of madness.
It seems that Lu Shi did not practice the Maha Bowl Mantra.
Lu Shi's smile gradually retracted, revealing a look of displeasure. He said, "What the hell do you mean by staring at me all the time and not speaking?!"
Only then did I realize that I was only concerned with observing Lu Shi's condition, but I had forgotten the etiquette that Xiao Yue had repeatedly taught me to have when meeting his master.
"The son-in-law visits the Master. I bowed.
Lu Shi let out an "um", the gloom on his face faded a little, and he said, "Where is Yue'er, why didn't you enter the door with you?"
Moon.
My heart was suddenly stabbed, and I only felt an unusually painful pain. How do I answer Lu Shi's inquiry?
"I'm asking you!" Lu Shi shouted, "Why haven't you seen each other for so many years, and become more wooden?!"
I gritted my teeth and said, "Satsuki is dead!"
I saw that Lu Shi's originally ruddy face suddenly turned pale, and he seemed to be dizzy, staggered back two steps, and almost fell to the ground.
"You, what did you say?!" Lu Shi stepped forward and grabbed the hem of my clothes and shouted, "Yue'er, how did he die?"
At that time, I endured the grief in my heart, and recounted to Lu Shi 1510 from the time Chen Boyang fell into the Hidden Dragon Stream, to Shu Yao's disappearance, and to me and Xiaoyue jumping off Kucang Mountain.
Lu Shi clenched his fists tightly, and I saw the green tendons on both sides of his forehead. Suddenly, a scorching wave of qi surged, and Lu Shi slammed his palm into my chest.
I was knocked back a few steps by Lu Shi's sudden palm, and the blood in my chest surged, and it was difficult to suppress it, and a mouthful of blood spit out.
"What are you going to do?!" Yu Shisan stood in front of me, staring at Lu Shi coldly.
Lu Shi ignored him, he stared at me with a pair of eyes full of resentment, and said, "You promised me to protect Yue'er well, but now you let her end up with no bones, you still have the face to come back to see me!"
I wiped the blood from the corners of my mouth and said, "I have to come back." Because, I want to confirm one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Lu Shi said angrily, "What is more important than you looking for your daughter?!"
I said, "A few days ago, I went back to the Hidden Dragon Stream. The Mokbot Charm that I had hidden in the cupboard was gone. ”
Lu Shi frowned, and his gaze became particularly cold. He said, "You suspect I took it?!"
I said, "It was." Not now
Finish. ”
Lu Shi asked, "Why?"
I said, "Because you're not crazy." ”
The corners of Lu Shi's eyes suddenly twitched a few times, and he raised his hand to slap me again, but Yu Thirteen stood in front of me. Lu Shi stared at Yu Shisan and said, "Who are you?
Yu 13 said, "He still has to teach me martial arts, you can't hurt him." ”
Lu Shi said, "You get out of the way, otherwise I will fight you together." ”
Yu 13 shook his head and said, "Don't let me!"
"You!"
Lu Shi's palm wind suddenly rose and rushed straight to Yu Shisan's face door, but at the moment when he was about to make contact, Lu Shi's palm was deflected, and the palm wind flew past Yu Shisan's ears and me, hitting the stone pillar behind me, leaving a palm print about half an inch deep.
Although this was the case, the anger on Lu Shi's face did not diminish at all, he stopped looking at me, turned sideways and asked me coldly, "You don't try to find your daughter, but you want to find a book." Is the Maha Bowl Mantra more important than your daughter's safety?"
"For me, nothing in this world is more important than Shu Yao's safety. I said, "The reason why I came is because I think the person who kidnapped Shu Yao and the person who stole the secret book should be the same person." ”
Lu Shi suddenly turned his head and glared at me, and asked, "Didn't Master Sharma tell you to destroy that book? Why didn't you destroy it? Could it be that you are greedy for the martial arts above, so you can?"
"No!" I said, "I just think it's something Sharma left me, and I want to keep it as a memento." ”
"Ha!" Lu Shi said, "There are still such stupid ideas in this world! How many people will be harmed by that book, don't you know?!"
Of course I do!
So, now I sincerely regret it.
However, the big mistake has been made, and it is too late to say that it is regretted. I solemnly clenched my fist at the landing stone and said, "Since I have seen everything I should have seen, then I will leave." ”
Lu Shi snorted coldly and asked, "Where are you going?"
Where to go?
That's a really hard question to answer.
But no matter where I was going, there was one single answer to this question, and I said, "Go find my daughter." ”
"Wait!"
Just as I was pulling Yu Shisan and preparing to turn around and leave, Lu Shi suddenly called out to me. I turned my head, looked at Lu Shi for a while, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Shi let out a long sigh, his sigh full of helplessness. From that helplessness, I felt Lu Shi's disappointment in me. Lu Shi raised his head and looked at the sky for a while, the clouds in the sky floated by, as if there was a wind blowing, but I couldn't feel it.
Lu Shi said, "In the vast rivers and lakes, looking for a person without clues, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?!"
I said, "But I don't have any other way." ”
Lu Shi said, "I have long been hidden in the rivers and lakes, and I will no longer show my face, I can't help you, but You'er can." You go to Shaoxing and let him help you find it, one more smart one
People can be lower than a thousand of you. ”
With that, Lu Shi let out another long sigh and turned to leave.
Looking at his departing back, I felt a pang of disgust. He was originally a person who missed once, and a pure white life also had an indelible stain, why could he be arrogant, sarcastic and sarcastic about me?
Is it just because of old age?!

Lu.
It's been a long, long time since I've heard this name. If you don't hear a person's name, more often than not, you won't think about that person, or even forget about that person completely.
It wasn't until the moment Lu Shi pointed me to Shaoxing that the past of many years suddenly came back to my mind.
Back then, Lu You and I met for the first time in Shaoxing, and then we met again and went to Shaolin together. In Lin'an Mansion, we went to the prison of Dali Temple together to rescue Yuantong, and together for the rivers and lakes, but the past years experienced by the remnants of the clouds are vivid, but there should be one more person in the common experience in those years. He is now renamed Li Sin and lives alone in Yazhou
Yu 13 asked me, "Who is Lu You?"
I thought about it for a long time, and then told him, "It's an old man." ”
In July of the twentieth year of Shaoxing, I rushed to Shaoxing with Yu 13.
I didn't have the slightest joy when I revisited. In that year, Zhao Gou issued an order to change Yuezhou to Shaoxing, implying that the Great Song Dynasty ruled by him was about to be prosperous.
Twenty years have passed.
Maybe people have long forgotten Yuezhou in their hearts, but they don't see the hope of ZTE.
"Stop for Lao Tzu!"
In the wide streets of Shaoxing Mansion, the crowds are surging and bustling. But in the midst of this noisy crowd, I heard a roar like thunder.
Yu 13 and I were both attracted by the voice, and turned our heads to see a beggar in rags, unkempt and dirty. He was scurrying through the crowd and hurried towards us.
The crowd on the street saw him rampage, and they had no scruples and avoided him. The beggar ran faster and faster, and glanced back at the fierce men who were chasing him, and then ran faster.
"Stinky Hanako, don't run!"
The brawny man roared loudly, with a short stick in his hand. I can imagine what atrocities they would have done to the beggar if they had caught him.
However, I don't want to be nosy. I've been in charge of too many things over the years, and none of them ended up with a satisfying ending.
However, the more trouble you don't want to look for, the more trouble will come to you without being swayed by you. People call this phenomenon fate.
As fate would have it, the beggar avoided almost everyone he could pass by, but he stumbled and fell on me, who was far away from him.
"Helper?!"
The beggar stood up in a panic and wanted to continue running, but the moment he looked up at me, his eyes froze,
Crazy joy was revealed. He grabbed my arm and cried out "Help, help, help, help!"
It occurred to me that I had once been the leader of a beggar gang. I once promised Bai Jingxing that I would let these poor people live a stable and prosperous life.
How many promises we have made. It's just that those things that have nothing to do with me are gradually lost in the complicated experiences of this life, and they will soon be lost.
"Okay, you stinky begging for food!" said a bearded man standing in front of me with a short stick, "I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and stole it from Lao Tzu's head." ”
The beggar ducked behind me in a panic, still muttering, "Help, help me." ”
"Stinky boy, don't be nosy!" the stick pointed at my nose, and the bearded man stared at me with eyes the size of a bull's eye, and threatened me, "Get out of the way, or Lao Tzu's stick won't have eyes." ”
I told him, "No one's stick has eyes, the key is that people have eyes." ”
I have merely described to him a fact, an irrefutable fact. However, the bearded man was completely angry in the face of the facts. He raised his bat and slammed it down on my head.
I didn't move, because I didn't think the speed with which the stick was falling was worth my premature action.
Yu Thirteen moved. He became more powerful than ever, and one hand gripped the stick so tightly that no matter how hard the man grinned his teeth, he couldn't break free from Yu Thirteen's hand.
Several other men also rushed up, and they all picked up their short sticks and smashed them down with me and Yu Shisan.
At the moment when the short stick fell, I grabbed Yu 13 and the beggar backwards, and several short sticks fell short.
"Good boy, there are two hits!" the bearded man seemed to be a little excited, he shrugged his shoulders and moved his muscles as if he was going to fight me.
I asked Yu Thirteen, "Can you?"
Yu 13 nodded slightly and said, "Yes." He reached for my sword. But I hid my sword behind me. Because, I have seen Yu Thirteen, who is as ferocious as a beast, and I am afraid that he will be inexplicably provoked again on the crowded streets of Shaoxingfu and stage an indescribable cruelty.
I walked to a shoe stall behind me, the owner with a duster in his hand, waiting with great interest for a rare show. I said, "Can I use your duster?" ”
The boss hesitated for a moment and asked me for a tael of silver. I looked at the duster in his hand, and the chicken feathers that should have been dense and dense were falling off like cypress trees in late autumn.
But I still gave him a tael of silver. Although it is not common in this world to sit on the ground and raise prices while people are in danger, it is no less than the chicken feathers on a duster. What's more, once this duster is involved in this fight, I can't guarantee that he will be able to return to Zhao, but I need it, and I hope it can
Accompany Yu 13 to experience a valuable actual battle. Although his opponent doesn't look very presentable.
I handed the duster to Yu Thirteen and said, "It's your sword." Like a teacher educating his apprentices, I said meaningfully to Yu Shisan, "Back then, when I beat people, I also used wood. ”
Yu 13 took the "sword" and nodded at me. As soon as he turned around, I heard a "bang" sound, and Yu Thirteen was firmly beaten on the head.
"Grind and grind!" scolded the bearded man, "a stinky boy who hasn't taken off his hair." ”
A stream of crimson blood slowly flowed down from the middle of Yu Thirteen's bun. Yu 13 wiped it with his hand, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a trace of joy. It's as if a long-dormant beast has finally smelled its prey.
The bearded man stared at Yu Shisan with a casual smile, and his face showed a little fear. He took two steps under his feet, rushed forward with a stick, and smashed it again on Yu Thirteen's head.
It's still the same position, it's still the same sound.
"Bang!"
I feel like Yu Thirteen's head is about to be cracked. However, there was no pain on Yu Thirteen's face, but it was the bearded man who was in pain.
There was surprise in his eyes, and his gaze slowly moved downward, until it landed on his abdomen, and the surprise suddenly turned to fear.
Just now, just when the man smashed a stick on Yu Thirteen's head, Yu Thirteen actually sent a slender duster into his abdomen at the moment when he rushed up, with the man's forward momentum.
"Ahh......h
The man began to scream in terror, and the cries grew louder and louder. Yu Thirteen smiled contentedly, not in the slightest that he was annoyed that he had been beaten twice for no reason.
"Don't move!"
I firmly grasped Yu Thirteen's hand to prevent him from pulling the duster out of the man's abdomen.
I said, "No, pull it out, and his blood will not stop!"
Yu Thirteen looked at me, but gave me an indifferent answer. He said, "This is my sword!"
