Chapter Fifty-Eight: Good Fate is Determined
Duan You went out of the house, and saw a soldier standing at the gate of the courtyard, it was Gao Qianshan's personal soldier, and invited him in, and the personal soldier said: "Tell Duan Gongzi, the warriors who went to Qingtu Lake in Liangzhou, one person has rushed back, and the four-legged colored snake caught has been handed over to the Chu Imperial Doctor for captivity according to the example of the prince the day before yesterday, Duan Kui, Deng Yu'er and others will rush back one after another in a few days." The city lord asked, what does Childe have to say?"
Duan You said that he knew, and had nothing to say, so the soldier turned around and left.
Duan Youfu remembered that Gao Xin'er, the daughter of the city lord, was stung by a locust snake that day. It has been nearly thirty days since he arrived in Yang Tho City, and the one-eyed ghost has not yet said where Master Duan Xuan and the others are being held. Gao Qianshan and Gao Yuefei summoned hundreds of family heads and sent hundreds of sergeants to search inside and outside the city, and it was determined that Ling'er was not in Yang Tho City.
According to Duan Jing's instructions, the one-eyed ghost will say where Duan Xuan is in the near future, if he doesn't say it, Duan You will simply kill him, and take more than forty disciples to find it in the city, village, mountain and water, although the world is big, he can always go through, and in his heart, he already has an idea, but it is too ostentatious, for fear of causing shocks in various countries, so he hesitates.
Ten days! Wait for the one-eyed ghost for ten days at most, whether he says it or not, Duan You will leave soon, and he can't wait any longer!
But what about Lu'er?
The meaning of the sachet given by Lu'er was already clear, how could Duan You not know? He didn't dare to fully affirm Lu'er's intentions, and at this time, he decided to leave in ten days, which was already confirmed.
After finding Ling'er, ask Ling'er that if she wants to come here, she will come to settle down, and if she doesn't want to come, he will come to pick up Lu'er.
After a while, I thought, what if I can't find Ling'er for a while? It's okay in ten years, twenty years, thirty years, or even longer? I can't let the green silk become gray hair!
That...... Take the green child away!
However, looking for Ling'er is by no means a travel, sleeping in the open air, fighting in the rivers and lakes, and it is by no means idle!
Let Lu'er accompany him to practice martial arts for self-protection? His temperament is weak, and he is not a billet in martial arts, and it is difficult to succeed in ten or eight years of learning, and besides, this is difficult for a strong man.
.........
Duan You is decisive on weekdays, but at this time he is indecisive, thinking about it for half the night, he is still uncertain, and reluctantly said: Let Lu'er decide for himself. Fang fell asleep in a daze.
Early in the morning, Duan Bai came to visit.
Duan Bai came to matchmaking, and the woman was Gao Xin'er, the daughter of the city lord. Duan You politely declined, he already had a green heart, and it was impossible for him to tolerate other women.
Duan Bai's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly: "Seventeen years ago, Master Duan Xuan personally sent a heavy dart to Shudi, and the accompanying dart master was my eldest brother, that is, your father Duan Zhen, and I and Duan Kui were the executioners. When I walked to a place where the mountains were high and the forest was deep, I saw that the terrain was treacherous, and I was afraid that there would be bandits, so my eldest brother took me and Duan Kui forward to explore the way. At the turn of a hill, more than 30 bandits were besieging a man in his thirties, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded on the ground, six or seven of whom were dressed in the same clothes as the man. There was another lady of Huai Rokka, who was being torn apart by two bandits, intending to humiliate and scream miserably. The eldest brother first knocked down the two bandits who tore the pregnant woman, so that Duan Kui and I protected each other, and then killed the bandits alone, and under the bitter fight, the enemy finally captured the bandit leader. During the time, the old man also arrived, and the bandits fled in a hurry. ”
Speaking of this, Duan Bai looked up, his eyes were full of tears, he was sad for Duan Zhen, Duan You was also sentimental, and there seemed to be a scene in front of him where his father was fighting alone among the bandits.
Duan Bai continued: "After the attacked man was rescued, he wiped the blood on his face, dressed up, and asked to marry your father as a brother with a different surname, and the two of them married Jin Lan on the spot, and then folded the sword Mingzhi, and the two families have been helping each other for generations, the baby in the belly of the pregnant woman, the boy who is born has a brother with you, and the girl who is a husband and wife.
"After that, your father showed Master Duan Xuan and sent me and Duan Kui to escort the injured brother and his wife to Yang Tho City, only to know that the man was the young city lord. ”
"Young City Lord?" Duan You immediately understood, "Today's City Lord? that baby is Gao Yuefei...... No, it's Gao Xin'er?"
"Exactly!" Duan Bai said, "Otherwise, why does the city lord call you You'er?" Seeing that Duan You was silent, he said again, "After Duan Kui and I fled to Yangtho City nine years ago, the city lord Gao Qianshan sent more than ten masters in the city to Liangzhou with Duan Kui and me, and searched for two years, without any news from you and Ling'er. A few years ago, the city lord chanted your father and your name every day, and in the heart of his daughter Gao Xin'er, you had already taken root. Besides, you detoxified it and saved his life, Gao Xin'er already had a heart for cocoa. You's son, why can't you accept her, and how can you disobey your parents' wishes?"
Duan You's heart was in turmoil.
After a while, Duan You raised his head, looked at the north, and said word by word: "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he can't respond to this family business. ”
Duan Bai was stunned and left disappointed.
Duan You sat for a while, and decided to show his heart to Lu'er at the city lord's family banquet in the afternoon, that is, in front of everyone, and cut off the idea of the city lord's family early, so as not to be embarrassed in the future.
Then he took out the sachet from his bosom, and looked at it carefully, one side of it was embroidered with Ershan Ershui, and the mandarin ducks in the water were on a blind date, which meant that he and Lu'er;
Duan You was stunned for a while, and suddenly his heart moved: This sachet is not an ordinary gift, but a thing that Lu'er loves!
You should also be judged by things!
It is convenient to rummage through the room, take them out one by one, and put a few: the gold obtained from the Pingcheng fight, the gold, jade, jewelry, and copper coins obtained by the bandits of Gaogoubao Ruian Mansion, although Zhu Yuan gave him some when he returned to Liangzhou, there are still a lot. Duan You picked it for a long time, but he couldn't settle down, gold and money were vulgar, and jewelry and jade were suitable, but they were stained with the gangsterism and thief spirit of "Buddha-faced double scorpions".
While thinking about it, his hand unconsciously held the jade pendant in his heart, and then untied it from his neck and hung it in front of him.
The small jade pendant, glowing with a glowing green light, swayed in front of his eyes.
Although the texture of this jade pendant is not as good as the jade plate given by the head of the Zhang family, it is a priceless treasure in Duan You's heart, and the soul is tied to it.
After hesitating for a long time, Duan You put away the jade pendant and said in his heart: Forget it, it's better to stay in Ling'er, Ling'er is lonely, and she can't be sorry for her anymore. At that time, he made it clear to Lu'er that he would buy a rough stone in a few days, and he would carve a jade pendant for it by himself. Although it has not been carved, as long as it is from his hand, Lu'er will definitely like it.
In the afternoon, Duan You dressed up and strode to the city lord's family banquet.
The family banquet was held in the hall where Gao Qianshan and his wife lived, in the same courtyard as Gao Xin'er's bamboo building. Duan Youwei Gao Xin'er came to the hospital several times when he was treated, all of them went straight upstairs, this is the first time to enter his hall, and he saw that in addition to the bookshelf on the wall, there is only a few large ones, a few Hu beds around, and another table, with paper, ink, pen and inkstone on it, simple and elegant.
There is only one person in the hall. After Duan You flew into the house with Gao Yue, Gao Qianshan asked Gao Yuefei to invite his mother and others into the house.
After a while, I heard the two children screaming happily from Gao Xin'er's bamboo building, and then Gao Yuefei's mother, wife, and Lu'er walked out of the bamboo building and entered the hall.
Duan Youyi saw Lu'er, his heart was pounding, and his ears were feverish. Lu'er and Duan You glanced at each other, their cheeks turned crimson, they lowered their heads, and dragged Gao Yuefei's mother's arm, not looking at others.
Gao Qianshan and his wife Gao Yuefei smiled brightly, greeted Duan You, and sat down next to Lu'er.
Everyone gathered around the group and sat in a circle, but there was no place for Gao Xin'er to sit, the two family members walked briskly, and the flowing water also seemed to be dishes and zongzi.
Duan You had something in his heart, that is, he jumped to Gao Yuefei: "Big brother, why can't you see my sister?"
Gao Yuefei was stunned, laughing but not speaking. There was a green voice beside him, as thin as a mosquito: "Green is Xin'er." ”
Duan You's brain "boom-" for a moment, only to feel seven meat and eight vegetarian surges, a dizziness, then ecstasy, and suddenly some inexplicable feelings rose, that is, he got up and dragged Gao Yuefei with a smile, went out of the hall, and entered a side room.
Gao Yuefei didn't have time to react, but was pressed on the couch by Duan You, and shouted: "At this time, I am your master, and after a while, you will be my real big brother!"
Gao Yuefei said "oops", and Duan You slapped him again-
"How dare you hide it from me?"
"Who told you not to tell me?"
"If Lu'er is not Xin'er, where will you teach me?"
With a question and a slap, Gao Yuefei begged for mercy loudly. When Duan You stopped, there was a gentle knock on the door, Gao Yuefei fell off the couch, opened the door and ran out, and there was a burst of laughter in the hall.
The person who came was Gao Xin'er, who had been called by Duan You for more than ten days, standing at the door frame, Chu Chu said: "...... There is a brother, I don't let my brother say it, I'm afraid you will hate me...... I was bitten like that by a locust snake...... If you want to blame me...... You call me Green, and I am very happy. As he spoke, he lowered his head, and two tears rolled on his face.
Duan Youxin felt distressed, grabbed his hand, and said, "Lu'er, I don't blame you, come with me." He dragged her to the hall, and his little hand trembled.
When they entered the hall, everyone in the room looked at the two of them. Duan You knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, aunt, eldest brother, sister-in-law, please marry Xin'er to me." ”
Gao Yuefei's two children screamed happily, ran around Gao Xin'er, and shouted for a wedding gift.
Gao Qianshan let Duan You get up, and everyone in the room laughed and groaned. Gao Qianshan said: "Seventeen years ago, you and Xin'er established a marriage contract, and from now on, I will call you a virtuous son-in-law. As he spoke, he laughed, tears glistened in his eyes, and he must have remembered Duan Zhen.
Duan Yousaw that Gao Qianshan happily agreed, his hand was involuntarily, he took out the jade pendant, put it on Lu'er's neck, and said, "This is a gift from my mother." Then he said to the two children, "Nephews and nieces, how about making up for them tomorrow if you are in a hurry today and have not brought any gifts?"
Before the two children could speak, Gao Qianshan came over, took off the jade pendant from Gao Xin'er's neck, took a look, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then recovered, and said with a smile: "You'er Xin'er, we became a family seventeen years ago, so we don't have to give each other gifts." ”
said that Bi took the jade pendant in his arms, and did not return it to Duan You. (Go to Zongheng Chinese Network to see the genuine version of "Following the Absolute Ring")
