I asked Liu Wufeng, "Why are you again?"

Liu Wufeng said, "Aren't you leaving? Why don't you leave?"

I said, "I've always wanted to go, but you won't let me go." ”

Liu Wufeng said: "I have let you go many times, but you have repeatedly delayed it. Now that you have made up your mind, you should leave immediately, and you should not be entangled in many trivial matters. ”

I was stunned, and suddenly recalled several encounters with Liu Wufeng, and suddenly realized that it was not luck and accident that I escaped again and again.

Lu Shi walked up to me, he looked at me with a strange look that I couldn't understand, and he said, "You shouldn't delay." If I had made a decision earlier, I am afraid that it would not be the same as it is today. ”

Corpses lay strewn all over the place, and the smell of blood was almost suffocating. I endured the nausea that kept rising in my abdomen, and looked at Liu Wufeng, my heart was full of confusion. I asked, "Why are you letting me go?" ”

Liu Wufeng said: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey. But the heart is harder to disobey. ”

I smiled sadly and said, "It seems that I was wrong again." ”

Liu Wufeng said, "If you don't want to make any more mistakes, get out of here quickly." ”

Leave?Can I still leave?If I leave, what will Satsuki do?

I shook my head and said, "I can't go anymore." I'm going to save Satsuki. ”

Liu Wufeng's face was expressionless, but there was a sigh in his words, he said: "I shouldn't have done this, it hurts my demeanor to do my duty." But...... I did it anyway for the sake of my friends. ”

For the sake of friends...... His sentence moved me to tears. I asked, "What did you do?"

Liu Wufeng said: "I spent three hundred taels of silver to buy off the guards guarding Xiaoyue. She's waiting for you right now in the typhoon shelter five miles south of the villa. ”

I was surprised and delighted, grabbed Liu Wufeng's hand, and said, "Really?"

Liu Wufeng snorted, didn't look at me, and said in a low voice: "Whether it's true or not, whether it's a knife or a handle, you can see for yourself." ”

I asked, "Why are you so helpful to me?"

Liu Wufeng said: "I am ruthless on my face, not ruthless in my heart. When you and I get along for a long time, I don't want to hurt my friends without distinguishing between right and wrong. Go away, don't wait for me to regret it. ”

I glanced at Lu Shi, and he sighed and said, "Let's go." Don't delay any longer. ”

"But...... Sharma ......"

Before I could finish speaking, Lu Shiyi interrupted me with a wave of his hand and said, "I will bury the master well, you can go quickly, don't live up to the kindness of Liu Daren." ”

I nodded solemnly, looking down at the scarlet glittering blood on the ground, and I wanted to pick it up but suddenly hesitated. Lu Shi bent down to pick up the sword and slowly pushed it into Xue Yin's scabbard.

The red light of blood was finally obscured by the holy snow silver, and the pure light was like the bright moonlight in the sky, which had never been stained with the blood of the world.

Lu Shi handed the sword to me and said, "You have to remember. Don't use this sword again for the rest of your life. Back then, your father ......"

"What did you say?" I shook violently as if I had been hit by an electric switch.

Lu Shi quickly turned around, turned his back to me, and said heavily, "It's nothing. Remember what I said! Hurry up! Yue'er is still waiting for you!"

I wanted to ask again, but when I saw Lu Shi's back, I didn't open my mouth after all.

Why didn't all of them tell me what they knew?Although my heart became heavier and heavier when I was wrapped in deep doubts, I didn't want to delay for a moment when I thought of Satsuki.

Liu Wufeng was right. Now that you have made up your mind, you should leave immediately, and you should not be entangled in many trivial matters.

I think Liu Wufeng solemnly clenched his fists and said, "Great grace is not thankful." I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Liu Wufeng also turned around, and he said, "You don't have to repay my favor." Just remember to pay me back three hundred taels of silver. ”

I couldn't help but smile and say, "Definitely!"

Typhoon shelter in the middle of the wind and moon. I can avoid the autumn wind, but I can't avoid the bright moon.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Yue, dressed in red, waited anxiously in the low gazebo. When I rode up to her, she smiled softly at me. I rolled over and dismounted, held Satsuki, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Satsuki smiled, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine." It's just that those people have given me incense. The strength of the medicine has not yet been fully subdued, and I am still a little weak now. ”

I hugged Satsuki, and at that moment, it felt like I was holding everything in the world, and my heart was full of satisfaction and peace, and I said, "It's okay." I thought ......"

Satsuki asked, "Why do you think so?"

I said, "I thought you had been taken by them." We can't go anymore. ”

Xiao Yue said: "It's Liu Wufeng, he let me go." Did you see him?"

I said, "See." He was the one who told me to come here to you. ”

Satsuki said, "I don't understand, why did he help us. ”

Why?

Actually, I don't really understand. There are some things in this world that are really incomprehensible, I thought that the closest person betrayed me, I thought it was the enemy but helped me.

But that's all in the past, and it doesn't matter anymore. I took Satsuki's hand and lifted her onto the horse. I said, "Let's go." ”

Satsuki asked, "Where are we going this time?"

I smiled at Xiao Yue and said, "The end of the earth!"

3.

The world is so big, where is the end of the world?

Xiaoyue and I rode horses and wandered between heaven and earth, just thinking of finding a paradise far away from Lin'an, away from the court, away from the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, and never being disturbed.

The world is vast, and Xiaoyue and I were also confused for a while.

once devoted himself to the position of the rivers and lakes, but when he really went out, he found that there were rivers and lakes everywhere in the world.

February of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing.

Fifty miles outside the city of Xiangyang, surrounded by mountains. Between the two rows of mountains, a thousand-foot mountain stream lies among them, winding and twisting, like a giant dragon lying on its back. The stone walls on both sides are neat, bare and yellow-brown rock walls, and there is not a single inch of grass and trees.

This stream is called the Hidden Dragon Stream.

When Satsuki and I happened to pass by here, we were struck by a sight that was so beautiful that it didn't look like the rest of the world.

At that time, it was the end of autumn in the world, the weather was cold and the air was wide, and the grass and trees were withered. In the hidden dragon stream, it is warm like spring, and the mountains are full of flowers. A narrow stream, meandering from the depths of the Hidden Dragon Stream, reflected in half of the moonlight, still sparkling and flickering. The stream was lined with strange trees that could not be named. The trunk of the tree is like a dragon, spiraling and rising, the crown of the tree is like a cloud, the branches are luxuriant, the small pale yellow flowers grow densely between the branches and leaves, the flowers fall from time to time, a large forest, green and yellow, the air is charming, just like a fairyland.

Satsuki and I immediately decided to rest here. It seems that God intended that there is a warm cave like spring in this hidden dragon stream. There are stone tables and beds inside, and it is obviously inhabited. It's just that the thick dust on those items tells us that this place has probably been unattended for many years.

According to legend, millions of years ago, after 10,000 years of cultivation, the South China Sea water fly turned into a dragon, galloping between heaven and earth, riding the wind, and disturbing the peace of the world. The ancient gods were furious, and gave an order to hunt down Ying Long, turning it into a giant pillar of coiling dragons and guarding the South China Sea.

Ying Long was unwilling to be restrained and ran around the world. By chance, I came to a mountain stream, and saw that the mountain stream was winding, and the two rows of mountains were dense, almost covering the sky and the sun, so I hid in the mountain stream to avoid the pursuit of the gods.

The ancient gods activated the Heavenly Spirit Mirror, led ten thousand golden lights, looked for Ying Long, and captured Ying Long in this mountain stream.

Since then, the world has called the mountain stream where Ying Long hides as the Hidden Dragon Stream.

And it has been passed down from generation to generation. Hundreds of years ago, there was a demon in the Hidden Dragon Stream. He has been cultivating in the mountain stream for many years, and has practiced an invincible evil martial arts. Trade Winds Literature Network

When he was born, he rushed out of the cave and happened to meet a group of woodcutters passing by, and he actually forcibly took several woodcutters into his door, taught them martial arts, and led them into the rivers and lakes, causing a bloody storm.

However, these are legends about this mysterious mountain stream.

Satsuki and I spent five months of peaceful life peacefully in this mountain stream. In these five months, we ushered in a new life.

She is the daughter of me and Satsuki.

Xiaoyue named our daughter Shu Yao. I listened and smiled. Satsuki asked me, "What are you laughing at?"

I said, "I remember the time I came up with my name. ”

Satsuki asked, "What name did you give yourself?"

I smiled awkwardly, took the pink baby in my arms, and softly called her name. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at me, pursed her lips, and fell into a deep sleep.

She should be happy with the name.

After all, it was the name chosen by the mother, so it was naturally better than the master's.

The biggest problem that Shu Yao faced after birth was that Xiaoyue had no milk. It is said that Cao Cao led the army to fight back then, and he was expected to quench his thirst. However, whenever Shu Yao, who was waiting to be fed, stared at Xiaoyue's chest and wanted to wear it, it did not have the effect of looking at her chest and wrapping her abdomen.

Shu Yao cried even more sadly.

In the evening, the woodcutter who passed by the Tibetan Dragon Stream said to me that there was a Chenjiagou three miles outside the stream, where the mother-in-law of the three families of Chen Laosan knew how to promote lactation, and the eight towns were very famous.

The night moon is like a silver hook, quietly jumping into the sky, sending a touch of light to the boundless night. A soft silver light shrouded the two rows of mountains, and the lush trees above the mountains obscured most of the moonlight.

After discussing with Xiaoyue, in order to relieve Yao, I decided to venture out of the Hidden Dragon Stream and go to Chenjiagou to find the woman that the woodcutter said.

Although it was only three or four miles, the carriage was unusually bumpy over the rugged mountain road. After several inquiries, when I found the door of Chen Laosan's house, it was almost time.

I knocked lightly on the ordinary wooden door and waited for a moment, but there was no response.

I glanced at Satsuki and Shu Yao in the carriage. Xiao Yue shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it, it's too late, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Do you want to let Xiaoyue and Shu Yao go through another rush?

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist and slammed the wooden door a few times.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The sound shook through the night, quickly waking up the people inside the door. A man's voice floated out of the crack in the door: "Who! This is the middle of the night and knocking on the door! Is it a seizure?!"

Soon, the door was opened. A stout man appeared in front of me with his sleepy eyes rubbed.

His face was full of displeasure, and he was obviously extremely unhappy with my late-night interruptions. He looked at me and yelled, "Who are you?!"

I said, "Are you Chen Laosan?"

He looked at me again and said, "I don't know you!" and then closed the door.

I saw that the door that I had finally called open was about to close, and I was in a hurry, so I hurriedly reached out to block it. With a "squeak", there was a sharp pain in my palm, and I couldn't help but scream: "Caught my hand." ”

The door opened again. Chen Laosan yelled at me impatiently: "You are really sick, come to our house in the middle of the night, what is the matter?" ”

I said, "I'm looking for your daughter-in-law." ”

"Who's looking for me?" came a petite woman out of the room, her hair coiled and a wooden grate to tie her hair up. The woman appeared before me in full dress, as if she had been dressed up.

Chen Laosan glanced at the woman and scolded, "You thief mother-in-law, who told you to come out?!

The woman was scolded by the man, did not dare to step forward again, and stood in the middle of the courtyard in a daze, but still could not help it, and asked in a friendly voice, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

I said, "My mother doesn't give milk, I heard that you know how to promote lactation, I want to ......"

"Go, go, go!"

Before I finished speaking, Chen Laosan had already impatiently driven me out, and he scolded and said: "Knocking on the door at night to promote lactation, it is really not long-sighted!"

Suddenly, Shu Yao's cry came from the carriage. The voice is crisp and anxious, which makes people feel pitiful.

"Is the child hungry?!" said the woman, taking two steps forward, her eyes on the carriage and her face showing concern, "let me take a look." ”

"You ignorant thief mother-in-law, what do you see!" Chen Laosan scolded, "The two clouds on my chest don't rain, and I want to run to someone else to be the dragon king!"

The woman looked extremely honest, although her face was full of concern, but she was scolded by Chen Laosan in two or three sentences, and she stayed in place, not daring to speak or move.

Liu Wufeng once told me that in this world, money and violence can solve most difficulties.

I don't want to use violence, but I don't have the money.

In desperation, I stepped forward and slapped a crooked tree in the door of Chen Laosan's house.

With a "click", the trunk of the tree untied in the middle, and a crooked tree became even more crooked.

Chen Laosan was so frightened by me that he sat on the ground, his face was full of horror, and he said tremblingly: "Big, the hero spares his life, and the small one has no eyes!"

I didn't need to pay attention to Chen Laosan, turned to the woman and said, "Help me." ”

The woman trembled in answer and hurried to the carriage. After a while, a few "oops" from Satsuki came from the carriage. I was waiting anxiously outside the carriage, and soon I heard Satsuki shouting happily, "There is, there is!"

The sky does not bear it, and the long drought finally meets the rain.

This night, Xiaoyue and I stayed overnight at Chen Laosan's house. Shu Yao, who was full of food and drink, slept very satisfied. She shrunk into swaddling clothes, the corners of her mouth curled up with a happy smile, and a trace of white milk poured out of her mouth.

Xiao Yue walked out of the inner room, and she said apologetically to Chen Laosan and his wife: "I apologize for the disturbance in the middle of the night." She took off the silver bracelet from her hand, except for the green jade hairpin on her head, which was the only valuable ornament she had on her. She stuffed the silver bracelet into the palm of Chen's third daughter-in-law and said, "We don't have any silver anymore, this is my personal belongings, it is counted as a reward, please be sure to accept it." ”

Chen Lao's third daughter-in-law hurriedly excused herself and said, "This, this is too precious......"

"If someone has a heart, you can accept it. Chen Laosan's eyes lit up and he persuaded on the side.

The woman couldn't push Xiaoyue, but she accepted it after all.

5.

Chen Laosan, who had been disturbed by me and Xiaoyue, had no intention of sleeping, and accidentally accepted Xiaoyue's bracelet, his face was full of excitement, and the joy in his heart was undisguised. He simply sent his daughter-in-law to prepare a few drinks and food, saying that he wanted to learn from those literati and ink writers and talk with me at night.

Under the dim candlelight, Chen Laosan and I pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatting from Chenjiagou to Xiangyang Mansion, and from Xiangyang Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty.

The flies and dogs are all in the world, all melted into glass after glass of wine. At that time, I really felt that it was only through my interactions with ordinary people that I realized that I was actually an ordinary person.

Chen Laosan was drunk, and a fennel bean was stuffed into his mouth, and he chewed it twice. Chen Laosan, who had just finished talking about the world, changed his words and talked about managing the world: "The group of thieves in Fujian is afraid that they will not survive until March." ”

In the five months of Hidden Dragon Stream, the rivers and lakes were disturbed, the court was right and wrong, and the world's major events were all thrown out of the clouds by me, and I never thought about exploring anything. But at this time, Chen Laosan said it abruptly, which aroused my curiosity for a while. I asked, "How are they doing now?"

Chen Laosan slapped the table, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "This General Xue Bi is really a man of God! It is said that a month ago, at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, he mobilized rich squires to form a regimental training, and he led thousands of people to kill the gang of thieves in the world! Now, the thieves have retreated back to Fujian. It is said that it is near Tingquan Mountain, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow!"

Listening to Chen Laosan's words, he didn't seem to approve of Guan Tianxia and others, and he has always been known as a thief. In my impression, since the Jingkang year, the imperial court has been ineffective in resisting gold, blindly retreating, and even humiliating and seeking peace, which has been criticized by people all over the world. Guan Tianxia shouted the slogan of revitalizing the rivers and lakes, and won over all major factions of martial arts. He shouted the slogan of recovering the rivers and mountains again to win over the people of the world. These two slogans are undoubtedly the most heart-wrenching, why do Chen Laosan still say that he is a "thief" in charge of the world?

I asked, "Don't you support the management of the world? Don't you want to expel the Jin people to take revenge?"

Chen Laosan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am just a flat-headed person, I just care about living my own life." What is the difference between this revenge and farming, and not taking revenge and farming? It has only been peaceful for more than ten years, and they can finally farm with peace of mind, and they are not at peace even if the world is rebelled again, and the world is not at peace.

This is Xiangyang, a fortress bordering Song and Jin. That's what the people here think, and those who are still far from the flames of war are afraid that this will be even more so.

Chen Laosan said: "If everyone in the world can live their own lives, the world will be peaceful." ”

I was silent. The imperial court has the concerns of the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes have the plans of the rivers and lakes, but their incompatibility has caused a war that is unacceptable to the common people.

Who is right and who is wrong in this world?
