Volume 1 Jianghu Spring and Autumn Chapter 1 The yellow sand is long, and the galaxy is bright

The moon splashes the galaxy, which is the color in the eyes.

Wind and sand are blowing in all directions, and wind and sand blow in northern Xinjiang every June. Wind and sand are a fiery couple, so they linger more intensely at night.

In addition to the desolate yellow sand, there is also a group of absurd idlers.

Di Yunfeng can be a ridiculous person, but he will never be an idler, because he is holding a knife in his hand, the knife is like a Japanese knife attracted by Fusang, three and a half feet long, two fingers wide.

This is a guy who eats, who can kill people and protect his own life.

Di Yunfeng sat at the mouth of the wolf smoke wind sand, although he wore a hat and wrapped his face and flesh with a thick coarse cloth, the wind and sand still desperately drilled into the cracks of his eyes. Even so, he can't close his eyes, because this is his task, and it has a continuous relationship with him holding this knife, for survival, for silver, and finally to protect the water and soil.

Snort, good people don't live long these days, and nosy people die quickly.

Di Yunfeng took off the brown sheepskin bag around his waist, which contained wine, raw wine that was so spicy that it was watery. This wine is strong and cheap, and the biggest effect is to refresh the mind. He tore open the scarf, revealing the two chapped lips, and quickly poured two sips of wine before it was stained with yellow sand, and re-wrapped the scar before he could swallow it.

The "grunt" wine was swallowed by him - nothing happened, no wine burps, no red face, no drunkenness, and no tears.

When Di Yunfeng first arrived in northern Xinjiang a month ago, he drank three sips of such raw wine, cried in the first half of the night, ran his stomach in the second half of the night, and was uncomfortable for three consecutive days and three nights. But now...... Now he was so accustomed to the smell that he even found the bitter wine tasteless.

People will always get used to it, and then adapt to it, but it will take a long time.

Di Yunfeng is a killer of rivers and lakes, a person who licks blood on the knife's edge, this hard-working profession has to let him adapt to the surrounding environment, this splitting his head and covering his face with yellow sand, this raw wine that is as strong as poison.

At this time, a man wrapped in coarse cloth and green clothes walked towards the wind and sand, he was exactly the same as Di Yunfeng, with a knife, a wine bag, a hat, and a scarf...... He's not an idler either. He walked up to Di Yunfeng and said, "I'm not here to change shifts in advance, I'm here to sit with you." ”

He was Di Yunfeng's friend.

Not even friends.

Di Yunfeng didn't plan to make friends.

The killer has no friends.

So he can only be regarded as Di Yunfeng's fellow countryman, from the southwest, from Sichuan, called Xie Li, twenty-one this year, one year older than Di Yunfeng. Di Yunfeng didn't look at him, he closed his eyes, and only a pair of eyes were needed to be lit at this pass.

Xie Li is not honest, he hid behind Di Yunfeng to block the wind and sand, and then took out his wine bag and drank it with his head up, he drank not raw wine, but the green fruit wine sold in the "Kangjia Wine Workshop" in the town, two taels of silver and a pound of green fruit wine.

They came to Huangsha Town to work hard, and their monthly wages were twenty taels, which was converted into ten catties of green fruit wine. Not enough for him to drink for two days.

Xie Li finally smiled and said, "Brother Di, my brother has discussed something with you, do you want to get it?"

Either way. Di Yunfeng shook his head but didn't speak.

Xie Li still smiled: "Brother Di, don't you pick the door so much, everyone knows that you are tight on money, you said that you don't have a father and a mother in the house, what are you doing with the money?

He said a lot of words before he grabbed Di Yunfeng and begged: "How many taels of silver can I borrow from my brother to buy wine and eat?"

This is Xie Li's purpose.

Di Yunfeng still shook his head, stood up, wrapped his scarf more tightly, and walked towards the entrance of the town without saying a word.

It's time, it's time for him to rest.

Xie Li didn't ask for benefits, and immediately leaked a vicious face, and muttered carefully: "Don't look at it as a short-lived ghost, it's still an iron rooster, and it should be eaten by monsters!"

Despite the howling wind and sand, Di Yunfeng still heard the curse, and he heard it clearly, with his knife technique, he could cut off Xie Li's mouth in an instant. But it's really unnecessary, because he is used to not talking, to loneliness, and to other people's cold words.

Those who do this business do not have a good reputation.

Di Yunfeng did not have any relatives alive, but he just wanted to save money, and he thought that it would be more meaningful to use the money to save a stray dog than to buy wine and drink for Xie Li.

Di Yunfeng vaguely remembered that when he was a child, an old scholar taught him a few days, saying that people should not only be honest and kind, but also know how to be grateful, and diligence and thrift are good qualities.

But there is always a deviation between the world and the ideal, and there are few good people in the troubled times. Di Yunfeng is not even better, because he has spread a lot of panic and killed a lot of people, so he now has no other qualities to have besides being industrious and thrifty.

Di Yunfeng walked slowly with the wind, and unconsciously came to the entrance of Huangsha Town, where a brick wall extended left and right, as high as five zhang, but it was not used to resist the flying sand in June, but to resist the monsters running out of the desert.

There are more people at the entrance of the town who are strictly guarded, they are the soldiers who originally guarded the border pass in the northern frontier, I heard that it was the defeat of eating monsters, and the corpses of 100,000 troops were buried on the battlefield, and the tragic scene was less than 1,000 people.

Di Yunfeng took off his waist card to show his identity, and those who enter and exit must indicate their identity, this is the rule. But as soon as he walked into the town, he heard the guard at the door joke:

"Congratulations to my brother for one more day. ”

This sentence does not sound like congratulations in the ears, it is a deep disdain. If you count the lives and deaths of others all day long, is it possible to treat them as dead soldiers?

Di Yunfeng's steps were frustrated, and he walked away again.

Killers are dead soldiers, it's not a big deal, as long as you have money.

Di Yunfeng has money and life, after all, he is only in his early twenties, in his prime, and his youth is good. And there are a lot of places to spend money in Huangsha Town. For example, the gambling stalls at the corners of the streets, no matter how poor people are, they never get tired of it. The local prostitution parlor at the end of the street can be a happy night for a few pennies.

You can't eat a tael of silver when you go to the best restaurant in town, a bowl of noodle mutton noodles even costs only a penny, and even a very delicately polished light steel long knife only charges five taels of silver!

Di Yunfeng tore off his scarf to reveal a fair face that didn't match the yellow sand in the sky, he wasn't handsome, but he must be resolute, he had a pure heart and an iron will!

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he marked a little loss.

He laughed because they, the hard-working people, were rich and noble in this poor town!

If a rich man, a small merchant doing business in the city, returns to the country, then he is a rich man in the village.

The rich and noble people in the slums are definitely more nourishing than the emperor's old son.

Di Yunfeng was walking on the street, and someone shouted: "Chivalry, come and have a good time?"

"Childe, the slave family will give you a prostitute for nothing!"

"Chivalry, the wine is warm for you for twelve hours a day!"

......

Feeling the enthusiasm of the neighborhood, Di Yunfeng slowly clenched the knife in his hand, and his heart was burning for some reason. At the beginning, he felt that he was here to make a living, to make money, and finally to protect these ordinary people, but now he has the idea of putting protection in the second place! That is to say, let himself live first, and then shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting these people, and finally the unstoppable Brother Kong Fang.

In this way, in the greeting of the young ladies, Di Yunfeng walked through the whole street, and finally sat down in front of a noodle stall, ate noodles, kept the family thriftily, and saved the money to help those who should be helped, so that when he went to hell, Lord Yama might be lenient on him.

He was about to call for a bowl of mutton noodles to cure his hunger, when an emergency whistle sounded through the town - it was the whistle that summoned the assembly.

Di Yunfeng picked up the knife, and his body ran towards the whistle like a gust of wind, not only him, but the shadows of the Jianghu guests gathered in all directions in the town.

......

......

Whistle is a bull-nosed Taoist priest wearing a yellow coat robe, his surname is Gou, and he calls himself the Heavenly Master, so everyone calls him "Gou Tianshi". I heard that the Heavenly Master really has two sons, Qimen Dunjia, opening mountains and reclamation of the sea, and people call them two times.

Di Yunfeng and the thirty-seven people from the rivers and lakes gathered in these eight directions were taking over the work at the hands of Gou Tianshi.

Gou Tianshi is more than fifty years old, not to mention the fairy wind bones, but he is full of energy, a pair of small eyes actually have a straight eyebrow, and the chin is a foot and a half long. When he saw that the people had arrived, he shook his sleeves with his sleeves, and jumped on one of the eaves without any strength. The people standing under the house should believe it, and if they shouldn't, they should all watch the excitement. Gou Tianshi cleared his throat and said first, "Be quiet." ”

"Gou Lao Dao, what kind of fight, everyone understands people, is there a new job?"

Everyone knows that on the twenty-two days of January, there is another job!

Gou Tianshi got straight to the point: "Yes, it's a big job," stroked his green beard, and then spoke in detail: "Three months ago, the northern Xinjiang encountered a demon slaughter, forcing the 100,000 soldiers of the Great Yan to be wiped out. The day before yesterday, this way begged the heavenly immortals to come down to help, today to get the decree of the immortals, tomorrow there will be a few immortals to help me Dayan to subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, I ask all the heroes to help, and pay an additional twenty taels of silver as a reward afterwards. ”

......

......

After the task was explained, the big guys also dispersed.

Di Yunfeng returned to the noodle stall and caught up with the last bowl of mutton noodles before closing, as soon as he sat down, he heard a voice shouting from afar: "Boss, give me a whole bowl of mutton noodles, I want a big bowl!"

The sound comes first, and the people come last. He was a reckless man nine feet tall, and if it weren't for the oil lamp lit on the noodle stall, I was really afraid that I wouldn't find him at night.

"Boss, put less meat and more noodles, I'm hungry!"

The black man not only has a wide waist and a big buttocks, but he also has to squeeze Di Yunfeng's side to sit down! He bared his teeth, big white teeth, the big white teeth of the black man in the night, and said to Di Yunfeng with a smile: "Brother is so coincidental, I just saw you here, we are all here to ask for a living!"

Di Yunfeng knew that the man was a peer, who didn't pay attention to him as a "moving flesh wall"? But he didn't know the name, and he didn't want to know.

The man's enthusiasm did not diminish, but he smiled more honestly, and said: "Brother and I are both thrifty people, I saw that you came to Huangsha Town since you called, and there is no gambling or prostitution, and you also fix this stall for dinner." Me too. I've always wanted to come and talk to you, but the shift is different, so it's a waste of time. ”

Di Yunfeng had never been enthusiastic by others, and he subconsciously moved his ass to sit on the other side.

"Hahaha, I think my brother didn't open the conversation!"

The man laughed and took off his wine bag from his waist, uncorked the bottle and swallowed it with his head up, and drank most of the bag in a few sips!

Di Yunfeng was rarely surprised, because he had to admire this man's perseverance, if he was not mistaken, this wine was raw wine, that is, the kind of raw wine that was so spicy that it could kill. Half a bag of raw sake in one go...... It's not a capable person, it has to be a suicide!

The man just burped, and before the wine was down, he rushed to his brows, and his whole dark face was washed red, and the black was red, which showed that he was drunk. He threw the wine bag to Di Yunfeng again, and said drunkly: "Brother, the heart of doing our business is really bitter, and now we are not on duty, this wine is drunk, why ...... drink?"

Di Yunfeng frowned and looked at the wine on the table, he had never drunk other people's toasts in the past twenty years, but he had drunk a lot of wine.

Toasting is a friend, punishing a toast is an enemy. There are no friends, but enemies are a basket.

"Good. ”

Di Yunfeng was finally willing to speak, this word was the first word he said when he came to Huangsha Town, he picked up the wine bag and poured a few sips of raw wine, and made a friend of the man. At this time, the hot mutton noodles were also served, and the two chatted freely about this bag of rough wine and a bowl of coarse noodles.

I learned that the man's surname was Hai, and he was born in the name. If you listen to the name, you will know that he is a man born by the sea, and if you hear the level of the name, you will know that he is a poor family. Belch...... He Di Yunfeng is also a poor family, but his grandfather has learned a few pieces of calligraphy, according to what "Cangshan is not old, Songhai is out of Yunfeng".

Haisheng is an eight-generation fisherman, and his boasting of his fishing skills is the best in the world! No wonder he is so dark, and he still fishes all day long and the sea breeze blows. When he was eighteen years old, his family raised money to change a big boat, and he was able to go to the open sea to catch the "stone fish" with two catties and two cans...... Forced by the situation and forced by life, he leaned on his own tendons and flesh and started the business of killing people for money. That's ten years, and this year he's twenty-eight.

"Hehe, thanks to the business that Gou Xian grows, as long as you please the immortals, you can get twenty taels of silver," Hai Sheng drank all the soup, put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up his fingers and counted: "I got twenty taels, and I added another twenty taels to my salary this month, and the sixty taels I had saved were one hundred taels...... One hundred taels, one hundred taels, the second sister will marry twenty taels, and the third brother will really need eighty taels to marry a daughter-in-law," he patted his thigh and said in surprise: "On the way back, I will ask for some livelihood business, one hundred taels is enough, after this month, I will quit home and go back, and drink two wedding wines!"

After being happy for a while, he asked Di Yunfeng: "Brother Di, are you going to Minyue to drink happy wine?"

Di Yunfeng smiled and shook his head, but he didn't feel good in his heart. Perhaps only Haisheng's yearning for purity would feel that it was so good to accompany the immortals for these twenty taels.

This month, will you take your life?

If you take your own life, you can't let Haisheng take your life, your friend's life is more valuable than your own life.

"Tomorrow, we don't have to bask in the sun and wind in the periphery, and following the immortals will not only gain knowledge, but also make money," Hai Sheng got up and put down two big coins, and burped: "Brother Di, my brother is a little sleepy, and I will talk about it tomorrow ......" After speaking, he shook his big body and left the noodle stall.

The breeze swept away the dust, pushing the clouds to cover the moon, but the clouds wore red clothes, covering the starlight and occupying the night light.

"Why is the moon crimson tonight?"

Di Yunfeng looked up at the sky and muttered to himself. The owner of the noodle stall said: "Guest officer, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is very bright, where is it red?"

Di Yunfeng hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look, the moonrise and dark clouds were bright and clear, could he really look away?

"Guest officer, I'm afraid it's the third watch, you see ......" the noodle stall owner yawned.

"I'm sorry. Di Yunfeng dropped two big coins and turned to leave. But the owner of the noodle stall hurriedly shouted: "Guest officer, that black man has already given you money for noodles." ”

"What's wrong with him giving it for me, and I'll give it for him?"

"It's right for you to talk about it, but-no-no...... no-no" The noodle stall owner figured out that he wanted to chase after him, but Di Yunfeng deliberately went to the room lightly, and disappeared after a few volleys.

He thinks that after closing, it takes up other people's time, and it is not surprising that the face money is doubled, and he also makes money by working hard for others according to the time.

......

......

Di Yunfeng fell on the bed when he entered the house, in fact, the allocated house only had one bed, no tables and chairs, no pillows, not even straw mats. But he doesn't care about thatβ€”he doesn't care if he's dressed or bad, as long as he's covered, he doesn't care if the food is good, as long as he fills his stomach, he doesn't care about the room, the bed, the bedding, the sleeping beauty, he closes his eyes and sleeps soundly, he doesn't snore, he doesn't grind his teeth, he never even dreams.

But! When it was time to wake up, he would never be vague, not even the sound of a leaf falling on the ground.

A chill hit, Di Yunfeng suddenly opened his eyes, held the knife, the carp stiffened, jumped out of the window, and did it in one go! Twenty years of drinking blood told him that the moon was crimson, and there was a change tonight!

"Whew......"

A wolf howl pierced the night sky, a pack of wolves howled, a glass blood moon!

Di Yunfeng stood on the roof with a knife, the wind in June was only so cold in the early morning, but the early morning was also a dark night, and the moon was as red as blood. He could clearly smell the turbid breath in the air, it was by no means murderous, it was more terrifying than murderous. He couldn't help frowning and thinking: Is there really a monster in this world?

People in the world are like this, they believe in immortals but not demons, and they believe in good and not bad.

"Help...... Help!ah......hhhh

The murderer is taller and stronger than Hai Shengdu, with a loose canopy, a long beak and wolf cheeks, and a pair of green eyes that are extremely suitable for the night.

Di Yunfeng held the handle of the knife with one hand, regardless of whether it was a human or a demon, if he could see red with a knife, he would kill all of them! But his knife had just revealed its cold glow, and a summoning whistle came from the center of the town, he frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of killing, put away the knife and rushed to find the whistle.

-------------

Di Yunfeng was the first to come to Gou Tianshi, Haisheng was the second to arrive, and it took a long time before waiting for the third one, and then the people one after another, most of them were sleepy-eyed, bare-chested and breast-barre, running and dressing, and even the traces of last night's ecstasy were still vivid, quite unbearable.

"Are you still delusional about fighting demons?" Gou Tianshi blew his beard and glared, and he himself realized that he didn't even notice that he was wearing a Taoist robe. He waved the dust and said: "The wolf howls is the enemy, General Qi will resist stubbornly at the entrance of the town, I should go to support as soon as possible! Kill the demon for ten taels of silver, and the cowardly will not give a penny - the rewards and punishments are clear, and action!"

"Wait!" Di Yunfeng shouted, and reminded him, "The monster has killed people in the town!"

This statement made people panic!

Di Yunfeng said nothing, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the town, he didn't care if these people believed it, and he wouldn't care about their life and death, he only knew that he had to do his best after receiving the money from Gou Tianshi, this was a business and a responsibility.

"Brother Di, wait for me!" Hai Sheng gritted his teeth and followed.
