Volume 1 Jianghu Spring and Autumn Chapter 15 The sunset is infinitely good, and the coming day is dusk
There is a peach blossom pavilion three miles outside the town, which should be a place for people to play and enjoy the flowers, but I don't know when the peach blossoms began to bloom, and the peach trees also withered, and this pavilion was also abandoned.
The old dream of peach blossoms should have been a long time ago, if there is really a peach blossom forest here, I think that the former Jinji Town is also a rich land of water and soil, but it is a pity that there is a piece of loess now, and there is no grass.
The little beggar's name is Zhang Xiaoer, a native of the northwest, who grew up with hardships from snacks, and has some three-legged cat kung fu in his hands.
In fact, the way of stealing and deception is also the way, and if Gou Laodao was able to deceive the position of the national teacher of Dayan, he must be quite good at deception.
When Xiao Er led Di Yunfeng to the Peach Blossom Pavilion, Gou Laodao was opening his mouth and snoring, and there were a few empty wine jugs, a handful of scattered peanut shells, and some chicken bones that had been gnawed cleanly on the stone table......
"Shhhh Xiao Er reminded softly, and began to clean up the scraps on the table.
Di Yunfeng smiled inexplicably, and said with emotion in his heart: This old man found a shelter from the wind and rain, and accepted an apprentice who served him diligently, looking like a beggar but living a fairy-like life.
"Brother, I've packed it up, you go and sit down first. Xiao Er greeted.
Di Yunfeng secretly picked up a stone and walked into the small pavilion, and when he sat down, he flicked his fingers, which just hit Gou Laodao's big nose, only to hear a miserable scream, Gou Laodao got up from the wooden chair, rubbed his nose and looked around, and scolded: "Who! Which turtle son attacked me!"
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Er hurriedly ran into the small pavilion to inquire about the situation, but Di Yunfeng replied with a smile: "It seems that your master is having a nightmare." When he said this, Gou Laodao stared at him.
Gou Laodao must have recognized Di Yunfeng, his eyes widened, he didn't know what was babbling in his mouth, he rolled down from the wooden chair, looked around Di Yunfeng a few times before sitting down and holding Di Yunfeng's hand and said, "That you ...... What's your name?"
"The surname is Di, the name is Yunfeng, a native of Yuzhou, southwest China, I came to you on March 7 to report the road, and it has been four and three days since then," Di Yunfeng paused before stretching out his hand and asked: "Twenty taels a month, forty months is eighty taels, shouldn't Daoist Gou give me a salary?"
When Di Yunfeng finished speaking, Gou Laodao was already crying tears, and his mouth kept saying: "Fruit...... I really saw a living person......"
"Uh......" The corners of Di Yunfeng's mouth twitched, and he broke away from his hand, isn't this Gou Lao Dao playing the emotional card? He wanted to repay the account! So he cleared his throat and said: "Gou Daochang, let's return one yard to one yard, even if we are brothers, we have to settle accounts, this-" Before he could finish speaking, Gou Lao Dao called: "Xiao Er, go to my baggage and get a silver ticket of one hundred taels, take it to the town to buy two jars of ten-year-old flower carvings, and bring some snacks and food, I want to entertain distinguished guests!"
Di Yunfeng was surprised, how could this iron rooster suddenly become so generous? He shook his head and wanted to refuse to entertain, but before he could speak, Xiao Er had already run to the town, he was really obedient and diligent. He smiled and said, "Gou Laodao, you have to be such a filial apprentice, and God takes care of you, isn't it?"
Gou Laodao wiped away a handful of bitter tears and lamented: "The days that have come after hardships are the most cherished, I am over the age of six, and I am no longer concerned about the so-called money, I just want to be a pure land and enjoy my old age." ”
Before the wine was delivered, Gou Laodao spit out all the feelings that should be spit out after drinking:
It turned out that he was frightened by the demon at that time, and when he woke up, the ground was covered with the corpses of the charlatans, and he was not a little frightened, and he also tried to smash the communication charm, but if the immortals were really willing to come to the rescue, why didn't they do it that night? He was disheartened and took all the money and charms from the charlatans. But the desert is boundless, and the road can only be under his feet, but he was lucky, and within two days of walking, he met a camel team that went to the northwest to do business. In this way, he traveled with the caravan to the northwest.
After arriving in the northwest, he relied on his ability to eat with both hands, went around helping people catch ghosts, and he also had a life-saving charm drawn by the immortals himself, and his life was very rich. Gradually, he had the heart of retreat, so he found a hard-working child as an apprentice, and taught him skills to support himself.
"In the past few days, I have always had nightmares, and those Jianghu guests came to me to ask for my life, and I am really ashamed in my heart," Gou Daoren cried with tears, and he held Di Yunfeng's shoulder and said: "Di Shaoxia, don't blame me, who dares to know that there are really monsters in the world? Who dares to know that those immortals will die and not be saved?"
Di Yunfeng has a soft heart, and this old man is also old, and his tears can't be regarded as prevarication, so he comforted him: "Don't be sad, don't be sad, what we do is in the sea of swords and fires, and the dead should also carry their own back." It's better to do this, their bones are still in the town, and if you save some money to retrieve their bones, you will be paid to them, and this person must be buried in the ground when he dies. ”
Gou Laodao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he got up and said, "Okay! Let's go now, and I will take the thousands of taels of silver in my hand to do the funeral for them and ensure that the scenery is beautiful!"
"Uh...... I'm afraid I can't do it now. Di Yunfeng shook his head.
"Why?" Gou Laodao was puzzled at first, but then slowly sat down again, and then he remembered to ask: "By the way, speaking of Di Shaoxia, I thought you were also dead before, how did you survive, and why did you come to the northwest?"
Di Yunfeng raised his eyebrows, if he told the deeds he had experienced, Gou Laodao would definitely not believe it. So he casually made up a reason to get out by luck, and as for why he went to the northwest, he also picked some things that he didn't say to the people of Gou Dao.
After hearing this, Gou Daoren was shocked: "Di Shaoxia, you still want to go to kill the demon for Jin Sanye?!" He hurriedly persuaded again; "Di Shaoxia, don't go, don't go! That place is very evil, I'm afraid there are really monsters infested, you better not go to die." ”
Di Yunfeng smiled and waved his hand: "Collect money from people to eliminate disasters for others, since I have taken other people's deposits, how can I go and fail? Besides, where are there so many monsters in this world?"
"But—"
"Don't worry, Daoist Gou, I'll go through the motions tonight, if there is really a demon, I will escape, where can I stay in it and die?"
Di Yunfeng said, seeing that the sun had set in the west, he also got up and said goodbye: "The sun is about to set, and I should also report to the end of the town." Please also ask Gou Daoren to pack up the luggage tonight, and I will come to you early tomorrow morning, let's take a trip. ”
"But we haven't eaten this wine and meat yet, and we're not in a hurry to eat...... "Daoist Gou kept it verbally, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't keep Di Yunfeng, so he pulled out a handful of "life-saving charms" from his arms and handed them to Di Yunfeng and said: "Di Shaoxia might as well bring these things, maybe they will come in handy...... How can it come in handy? What can't be sent, what can't be sent!"
"Haha, the old Taoist can rest assured, this thing can be launched once for ten years, and I can't afford to play this. ”
Di Yunfeng insisted on leaving, and Gou Laodao could only send him off in person, and when he arrived at the entrance of the town, Gou Laodao finally sighed: "Di Shaoxia cherishes." Then he shook his head and walked away.
Di Yunfeng looked back at Gou Lao Dao, his back was both thin and rickety, and it happened that at this time the sunset on the West Mountain, the clouds were like fire, the sunset on the mountains was red, and the back of Gou Lao Dao was as lonely as the sunset, and it was as late as the sunset.
This is exactly why Di Yunfeng is afraid of seeing the sunset, a drop in the ocean, wind and fire, who has the years bypassed?
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
"Master, master, I bought you wine! The tavern owner had never seen the silver ticket, and he didn't dare to accept it at first, so he delayed the time......
Xiao Er caught up with wine and meat, laughing, intimate, Gou Laodao also stroked Xiao Er's head, spoiled, loving, in the sunset, it seemed to reflect an indescribable beauty, eternal love.
Butterflies blink their eyes, and each blink keeps them eternal.
Di Yunfeng smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, took off the wine bag on his waist, and enjoyed the infinite tenderness brought by the sunset while drinking.
He knew he had changed, but he couldn't say why or where. But he knew in his heart that he would definitely talk more in the future, and he would not hate the sunset again.
Because.
The sunset is infinitely good, and the next day will be dusk.
