Chapter 153: The Shore
The spring rain is silent, and the street scene is wet. The water and smoke could not hide the weeping willows on both sides of the street, and the rain and fog could not hide a few spots of peach at the corner of the street.
Lin held an umbrella in one hand, standing in the light rain and mist, looking at this famous capital. The wide streets, paved with stone slabs, are even fresher after being washed by the rain, making people have the urge to move forward.
Coming with the Heavenly Dragon Sect West, the place under his feet should be near the West Gate. But the streets in front of you extend in all directions, making it difficult to distinguish between north and south for a while. Where you're going is really scratching your head.
Hang out everywhere. Lin Yi thought as he walked forward.
Following the street on the right, Lin Yi didn't know how long he had walked, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a big river appeared in front of him. The river is very wide, with weeping willows on both sides of the bank, and boats drifting by on the water from time to time. There is also the sound of silk and bamboo, with the smoke and rain and the breeze into the ears, making people feel calm and wandering.
Lin Yi walked over slowly. A lavishly decorated carriage is parked on the shore. There was a rain eaves in front of the car, and the coachmen hid underneath, gagging each other and telling jokes.
Bypassing these carriages, Lin Yi walked along the riverbank.
There are more than a dozen painting boats parked along the embankment. The paintings are all depicting beasts and embroidered birds, which are beautiful.
There was a sudden noise on the river, and Lin Yi stopped under a willow tree and looked up.
I saw that on the springboard of a painting boat, two sturdy men were scolding and pushing a young man who looked like a scholar. The man looked like he was one or twenty years old, with a delicate appearance, and he was powerless in the face of two men with fierce expressions, and his body was even weaker.
In the blink of an eye, the young scholar was thrown ashore and fell into the rain in embarrassment. He got up again regardless of it, and saw that two men were blocking the way, so he knelt on the ground helplessly and cried in front of the painting boat.
"Ruyan, look at me! I beg you! Look at me, I am willing to die even if I am alive!" The scholar was teary-eyed and cried at the painting boat.
"Get out! Miss Ruyan won't see you, you'll die of this heart!"
"Hehe, you bring the silver! I want to learn from that merry man if I don't have any money, I'm sorry!"
The two men hugged their arms, smiling sadly, and laughing from time to time. The coachmen on the shore looked like they were not surprised, laughing one by one, looking lively.
"This brother, look at you are a foreigner, I don't know what's going on!" On a carriage behind Lin Yi, a coachman was bored and looked for him to talk.
Lin Yi looked back at the other party in surprise, and replied casually: "Where is this place?
The coachman, a young man in his twenties, smiled and said: "It seems that my brother is really a foreigner, what else can this painting boat do? Isn't it just drinking and having fun? However, this place is slightly different from the ordinary green building. The girls here turned out to be good women from official eunuchs, but they were forced to enter the lowly status because of a lawsuit. But these girls are all like fairies, and they are knowledgeable, which makes men flock to them!
I see, Lin nodded a little. The coachman finally caught a talker, and hurriedly continued: "This talent was originally in Beijing to take the exam, but who knew that the gold list was not nominated, but he came here and ordered the oiran!"
Lest Lin not understand, the coachman spat all around: "This is like a smoke girl, but the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are endless, and the beauty is like a fairy, it is the famous Oiran among the many painting boats on this river, who doesn't know in the capital, who doesn't know!
The coachman spoke, wiped his saliva, and went on with great interest:
This scholar accidentally met the girl like smoke, was shocked by the woman's appearance, and was impressed by her talent, wishful thinking or mutual affection or something, no one knew. Anyway, this scholar is obsessed with this. Hehe! But you can't do it without silver! After seeing the girl like smoke a few times, she spent all her coils and couldn't even go home! The old bustard without money didn't let you see people, this scholar was too sad and fell ill again. No, the illness healed a little, and then the rain came again, and I want to see the girl like smoke alive! It's also a lover, and I have no choice but to live poor! Oh no, this scholar really has the heart to seek death!"
The coachman stopped talking and exclaimed.
Lin Yixun followed the prestige, only to see the scholar crying: "Like smoke, you can't stay together for a long time in this life, Handan Sheng will turn into a wisp of lonely soul to accompany you, like smoke, Handan Sheng will go!" The scholar's eyes were like red, like a lost soul, he shook his feet, took two steps, "poof", and jumped into the river.
The scholar's actions shocked the audience to look at each other, even the two men on the painting boat, their faces also changed, but they pretended not to see it, ran back to the painting boat, and shrank their heads and never came out again.
In the blink of an eye, the scholar's arm struggled in vain when he entered the water, and then only a mass of black hair floated up on the surface of the water, and slowly sank.
Seeing this, Lin Yi was also surprised. Not to mention why this scholar is looking for death, so many people only care about onlookers, but no one comes to the rescue? Even the coachman behind him sat in front of the car in a daze, and did not say a word.
Will these people be able to live and die while watching this book?
Lin Yi was annoyed and cold, and no longer hesitated, he threw the umbrella in his hand on the ground, and with a light touch under his feet, he had already reached the river. He picked up a penny and slashed it into the water.
The long penny swirled gently in the water, and Huo Ran came out of the water.
A person had already been picked up at the front end of the penny, Lin Yi's arm shook slightly, and the scholar flew towards the shore with a splash. He threw down the penny casually, and his figure was already in front of the scholar, and he reached out and grabbed it and put it on the ground.
"Good ββ!" roared out. Lin Yi saved people a few times, and the magpies rose and fell, and his hands and feet were extremely fast, and he did it in one go. Everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and the person who fell into the water came to the shore, and suddenly felt that their eyes were opened, and they couldn't help but shout good.
Lin Yi didn't have time to pay attention to these people at all, and saw that the scholar's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his breath was still there. Unhurriedly, he reached out to grasp the veins of his wrist, and his other hand caressed his back.
The unconscious scholar sat up suddenly, and vomited violently. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of river water, his complexion improved a lot, and then he opened his eyes leisurely, and held Lin Yi tightly and didn't let go, his eyes were obsessed: "Ruyan, have I arrived at the underworld! I'm here to accompany you!"
Lin Yi twisted his backhand, and immediately imprisoned the scholar, and he shouted coldly in a low voice: "Wake me up!"
"Oops!" Under the pain in his arm, the scholar saw clearly that there was a young man in front of him, and when he communicated with his eyes, he only felt a pain in his brain, and then his eyes became clear.
Seeing that his hands and feet were imprisoned and difficult to move, the scholar's tears flowed out again.
"Alas, why did the little brother bother to save me? Without smoke, I will have no fun in my life! If you save me for a while, can you save me for the rest of my life?"
Lin Yi let go of the scholar, took a step back, and said coldly: "It seems that you are not confused. If you and Miss Ruyan were true to each other, and they were happy with each other, wouldn't she be sad if you died today? If not, what would you do with others when you die?"
"I fell in love with Ruyan at first sight, this love can show the sun and the moon, comparable to Jin Jian, and there is no falsehood. Helplessly, the old bustard of the painting boat was cold and unkind, and when he saw that I had run out of money, he did not allow me to see it again. I want to go back home and tell the second elder, and then come back to marry Ruyan. But I didn't see him for many days, and I couldn't rest assured, and the bustard didn't allow me to get on the boat. I am afraid that I will be sick, and when I am uneasy, I will rush into Meng Lang like this. If I don't see the smoke, how can I leave in peace!"
After the scholar finished speaking in one breath, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Little brother save me, and I have the grace to recreate." If I don't redeem myself for Ruyan and marry her in this life, I will be a son of man in vain!"
As soon as Lin saw that the scholar had awakened his mind, he wanted to leave, but when he saw that the other party recognized him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to him, picked up the paper umbrella, and took a step.
Who knew that Lin Yi hadn't taken two steps yet, but he was hugged by the scholar and said with surprise on his face: "Brother, listen, you listen to this flute, this is like smoke playing for meββ!"
A song is euphemistic and long, like crying and complaining, and the faint curling flute sound comes from the river. There seems to be infinite grievances whispering in the sound of the flute, and it is like a bleak wind and cold rain, blowing down in people's hearts, making people listen to it, and they can't help but feel lost!
At this moment, Lin Yi's mind was also in a trance, and at the end of the misty smoke and rain, it seemed to be the top of the immortal, and the figure of the master could be vaguely seen. Is your hayloft still there, and is the grass in front of the tomb green again?
Xiao Yin stopped abruptly, like a sigh, and instantly woke up Lin Yi. He shook his head and wondered what was wrong.
Lin Yiyi didn't know the rhythm of music, why did this sound affect his heart! Is it Hongchen still having constant fetters, or is there still unknown feelings sprouting in his heart. Now, inadvertently, by this strange river, in this drizzle, he was touched by this inexplicable sound of flute.
