The Young Man in White Chapter 42 Wind and bones
(7500 chapters, ask for collections, tickets!!)
The freehand when drawing the knife is like that merry genius who dipped his pen in ink to write good sentences.
The chic of collecting the knife is also like the uninhibited style of the prodigal son.
Although Chen Yijian really wanted to say a few more famous sayings and sentences that were popular and widely circulated in the world. But when he turned his head to look at the eighty little children beside him, the eldest of whom was only eleven or twelve years old, he decisively gave up this idea.
Saying this to a group of little kids who don't have any hair is meaningless at all.
Is it possible to still think about it, can't you have a child daughter-in-law?
Chen Yijian used to have such an idea, but after his sister found out and rewarded him with a chestnut, he never had such a dirty idea again.
What a wreath of iniquity!
Chen Yijian, who happily gave up, said to the eighty boys and girls, "You wait here for me," and his body disappeared in an instant.
This made the children who were already shocked by him feel more and more admiration for him in their hearts.
Among them was a little boy of eight or nine years old, after coming back to his senses and closing his open mouth with some difficulty. A pair of big eyes full of undisguised envy and admiration. Raised his elbow and gently poked a little girl beside him. When the little girl turned her head to look at him with curious eyes, the little boy said to her with an excited expression: "When I grow up, I will become like him." Learn martial arts, wear white clothes, and use long knives. When the time comes, you will follow me, and I will cover you. ”
The little girl blinked a pair of big watery eyes, and looked at the heroic expression on the little boy's face, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, the little girl said to the little boy in a light voice, "But I don't think you look very good in white clothes." ”
The little boy was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
An innocent smile suddenly appeared on the little girl's immature face. Said: "Because you look black, if you wear white clothes again, isn't it the black and white impermanence? ”
The little boy suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead, and suddenly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I can't wear white clothes." When the time comes, I'll be wearing black clothes, and I'll be working on a black long knife, and I'll be handsome. Right?!"
The little girl thought about what he would look like in black in the future. A little uncertain, he said, "Maybe." ”
The little boy laughed and said, "Not maybe, it's certain!
A bright smile immediately appeared on the little girl's face, and she nodded and said, "Yes!"
Fang Xiaohu wanted to say something about the future to the little girl again, but he didn't wait for him to speak. He saw the big brother in white who magically disappeared and miraculously appeared, and was already standing in front of them at this time. Not only him, but beside him, there was also a strange teenager, and he swallowed those beautiful fantasies back into his stomach.
However, looking at the child's eyes looking at Chen Yijian, it became more and more hot.
Perhaps, this is a person's yearning for something, and the wind and bones are generated, right?!
Just like the wind itself, there are no restrictions.
A reader has the spirit of a reader.
Jianghu warriors, with the backbone of Jianghu warriors.
Flat-headed people have the backbone of flat-headed people.
The battlefield generals, the temple civil officials, also have their backbone.
That child, naturally, also has their own backbone.
What is a wind bone?
Wind and bones are not only beliefs, but also pursuits, and aspirations in the heart!
It's a dream!
Zhang Longhu's body was still a little weak, although he had a short rest. But if it weren't for Chen Yijian supporting him from the side at this time, it is estimated that it would be a little difficult for him to stand up straight steadily. So the only thing he wants to do now is to get out of here as soon as possible, and then find a quiet place to recuperate and recuperate.
His eyes swept over the children, and Zhang Longhu opened his mouth and said to Chen Yijian: "Are you sure that one person can take them all out safely? If not, you can speak, I still have this strength." ”
Chen Yijian rolled his eyes and said, "You made it of paper?"
After speaking, Chen Yijian, who was holding Zhang Longhu with one hand, raised his other hand and shook it lightly in front of him. Everyone in the main hall of the Water Hall disappeared in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already standing by the Yishui River.
The scorching autumn sun is kindly sprinkled on everyone. The cool autumn breeze by the river gently blew on everyone's cheeks, and the hair with sideburns was raised.
Probably because they haven't been exposed to sunlight for too long, when eighty children are standing by the river, under the sun. Almost everyone couldn't help but subconsciously squint their eyes slightly, raised a hand, and covered it in front of their eyes. In order to alleviate the glare caused by the sun hanging in the sky.
Because the people of the town all looked in the direction of the Qishui River, they saw Chen Yijian and the others who suddenly appeared for the first time.
At first, the people of the town thought they were dazzled. But when they really felt the vigor of those children, they suddenly came back to their senses. One by one, they rushed to the middle of the children, their eyes full of tears, looking for their own children.
And the children who have adapted to the scorching sun, after seeing their long-lost relatives. One by one, they also cried loudly with their relatives.
The youngest of them is now no more than five or six years old.
The first to be sacrificed was a year ago.
A year, perhaps for most people, is not a long time. But for these poor children, it was a real long time.
Since they were sacrificed, they never thought that one day, they would be able to meet their relatives.
Even if I thought about it, it would only appear in every late-night dream.
Huang Ye, the young magistrate, looked at these small town people who had gone through a lot of hardships and finally reunited. Although he was not moved to tears by the scene of this reunion, his red eyes said it all.
Huang Ye raised his right hand, gently wiped the tip of his nose, and wiped the faint nasal water. He walked in front of Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu, and when he walked in front of the two. Huang Ye suddenly lifted the hem of his official robe with his hand, and then knelt down on his knees in front of Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu. His voice trembled a little and said, "The kindness of the two young heroes to Fuze Town will never be forgotten in the next general!"
As soon as they saw the magistrate bowing to the two teenagers, the people of the small town who had just reunited with their children also bowed down to the two of them. After almost everyone knelt on the ground, their faces were full of tears, and with heartfelt gratitude, they opened their mouths and said: "The great kindness of the two young heroes, we will never forget." Thank you, thank you for the rescue of the two young heroes!"
came out like this inexplicably, not to mention Zhang Longhu's nervous expression. Even Chen Yijian, who was supporting him and thought he had no face and no skin, was also scared for a while.
Where can I care if Zhang Longhu can stand on his own, and let go of the hand holding him. immediately ran to the county magistrate Huang Ye and helped him up from the ground. And said to everyone: "Uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles, grandparents and grandparents." Hurry up, you give me such a big salute to a junior, how can I bear it? Get up, get up!"
Originally, according to Huang Ye's own thoughts, he wanted to bow down to Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu again. But at this time, he was forcibly helped up from the ground by Chen Yijian, and he had no choice but to give up. But some words of gratitude came to his lips, but he still said them, "Two young heroes, as the saying goes, although great grace is not grateful, I, Huang Ye, don't think so." Although I also know that just talking about it is far from being able to express your kindness to the people of Fukuzawa Town. But if I don't say some things, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep. ”
Huang Ye paused, as if he was expressing the words in his heart. However, after a long time, he was not able to put those words of gratitude in his heart into perfect words. It's as if the books he has read and the words he has read in his life have become strange guests at this moment, and he doesn't know where to start.
In the end, Huang Ye, who really didn't know how to express it, had to sigh in his heart. Turn all the thousands of words into the simplest, but most simple two words.
"Thank you!"
As for Chen Yijian, he smiled at him and said two words.
"You're welcome!"
Yuan and his wife, who had never walked towards the group of children, got up from the ground and came to Chen Yijian's side together. Yuan He originally wanted to say something, but after seeing the words of Huang Ye and Chen Yijian. He still chose not to speak, but threw a grateful look at Chen Yijian, and bent down deeply at him.
In this regard, Chen Yijian didn't say anything, and he didn't open his mouth to stop it.
After all, that's what people want.
Yuan's mother waited for her husband to finish his salute and straightened her waist again. Only then did he stretch out his finger and point to the water river, and said, "Chen Shaoxia, what should she do?"
Chen Yijian looked in the direction of Yuan's mother's finger, and saw that Yuan Xiaoshan was still on the boat at this time. couldn't help but pat his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I almost forgot about him." ”
After speaking, Chen Yijian waved to the boat in the river. The boat, which had been quietly hovering on the river, immediately drove quickly towards the riverbank. When they reached the shore, there were already people in the town who helped Yuan Xiaoyi tied to the boat from above.
In this regard, Yuan Xiaoshan thanked them one by one. quickly came to Chen Yijian and the others, looked at Chen Yijian but did not speak.
Chen Yijian nodded at her, turned his head to the county magistrate Huang Ye and said, "Lord Huang, the next thing will be left to you, I will take my friend to the county government to recuperate first." ”
Huang Ye hurriedly said: "Zhang Shaoxia's body is important, and the matter here will be handed over." ”
Chen Yijian smiled, supported Zhang Longhu again, turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the county office.
Because the Yuan family and his wife were worried about their daughter, after saying to Huang Ye of Zhixian County to leave first, they also took Yuan Xiaoyi and accompanied Chen Yijian and the others to leave here.
Along the way, for some reason, the two sides tacitly reached a consensus on silence.
Zhang Longhu wanted to open his mouth to break this atmosphere, but because of his weak body, as long as he spoke slightly, it would involve the chaotic qi in his body, which directly led to the severe pain in his body like a sea of qi. So after giving it a try, he gave up on the idea.
It's just that what makes him wonder in his heart is why Chen Yijian is so silent at this time? According to what he knows about him, Chen Yijian shouldn't have such a reaction. With Chen Yijian's talkative personality, even if your knife is on his neck and you don't let him speak, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve. In turn, he can talk to you endlessly about the material of the knife in your hand, the sharpness of the blade, and the posture you hold the knife.
What's going on today, it's too abnormal, isn't it?
Could it be that this kid is also injured, and for the sake of face, he is holding on?
But I can't remember, he's hurt?!
The cranky thoughts in his heart inevitably made Zhang Longhu cast a curious look at Chen Yijian from time to time.
Chen Yijian couldn't help but roll his eyes at him after discovering his curious eyes. said: "Do you always look at what I do, although I am very handsome, but I don't like men, you just die." ”
Zhang Longhu spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
On his pale cheeks, which had regained a little sallow yellow, an expression of disdain suddenly appeared. said: "You like men." ”
Chen Yijian said with a smile: "Even if I like men, I won't like you." Look at the way you look now, you look like you're going to die. Do you think I'm going to take a fancy to you? Don't be a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
Zhang Longhu knew Chen Yijian's hurtful character, so naturally he would not take his words seriously. The footsteps of the march did not stop, and he squinted at Chen Yijian. Said sarcastically to him: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to eat swan meat." I just don't know who it is, two years ago, even the swan meat in his mouth could make him fly away. ”
However, just after saying this. Zhang Longhu regretted it in his heart, the kind that regretted it even with green intestines.
Why don't you mention this stubble yourself, aren't you obviously sprinkling salt on his wounds? In the past, he still complained that Chen Yijian's mouth did not accumulate virtue, why is he not so virtuous now?
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Longhu's words. Chen Yijian, who originally had a smile on his face, immediately became sad. There was no interest in chatting with Zhang Longhu anymore, so with a faint sadness between his eyebrows, he walked forward silently.
Zhang Longhu sighed secretly in his heart, raised a hand and landed on his shoulder, kneading it gently, as if he wanted to comfort him with this. After considering the words in his heart for a while, he said softly: "If you really can't let go of her in your heart, when I recover from my injuries, I will accompany you to the Lei family." ”
Chen Yijian didn't turn his head to look at him, but there was obviously a trace of anger in his tone. said, "What are you doing there?"
Zhang Longhu smiled and said, "Just snatch her out for you!"
Chen Yijian still looked ahead.
Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a wildflower on the side of the road beneath his feet.
The white petals are like the pure snow of winter. There is no green leaf, only a bare flower stalk, supporting it just like the pavilion girl, standing in mid-air, swaying leisurely with the wind.
Chen Yijian looked at the flowers, and the flowers were also looking at him.
The footsteps of walking, though never stopped for it. But the speed of the step has slowed down significantly.
Chen Yijian pointed to the white flowers and said to Zhang Longhu: "Look at it, how beautiful it is." Although there is no green leaf, it is still beautiful. ”
Zhang Longhu looked in the direction of Chen Yijian's finger, when he saw the flower. Originally, he didn't understand Chen Yijian's words very well, but he instantly understood what he meant.
In some things, it doesn't have to be obtained to be the most beautiful. Just like this flower in front of you, if you look at it from afar, you will feel beautiful in your heart. If you pick it and put it in your hand, it will still be beautiful. But when it loses its last life and is no longer as beautiful as it was at this moment, will you still think it is beautiful?
The answer, of course, is no!
If you know that this will happen, then why do you have to take it for yourself, and eventually cause it to lose that beauty?!
Why not let it choose its own destiny and bloom its beauty in the season of flowers. In the season of flowers, can you wither silently alone?!
Maybe doing so will make you feel a little regretful in your heart. But when the regret is over, what will be left?
Is it indifferent like a wisp of fresh wind, let it dissipate in the long river of memory?
Or will I inadvertently touch the beauty that I once had. Then a faint smile was raised on the corner of the mouth, and finally chose to stay in a corner of memory forever, waiting for the next inadvertent to reminisce about the beauty it brought to you again?
Perhaps, someone will choose the former. But Zhang Longhu knew that Chen Yijian had already chosen the latter at this time. Therefore, whether to go to Lei's house in the future or not, in fact, it is not so meaningful.
On Zhang Longhu's cheeks, the bright smile of the past once again appeared. It's just that he is weaker at this time than usual. The hand on Chen Yijian's shoulder had already been withdrawn by him after patting him on the shoulder. Looking at the gaze not far away, it fell on Chen Yijian's side face, and said, "What are your plans next?"
Chen Yijian thought for a while and replied, "I'm going to go to Longchuan in the west." ”
Zhang Longhu asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Chen Yijian replied: "Not long ago, I heard that there was a war over there, and I wanted to try my luck. ”
Zhang Longhu was even more curious: "You want to join the battlefield?"
Chen Yijian shook his head and explained: "I'm going to see if I can perceive the new sword intent, you know." Ever since ...... 'Beauty' broke, my cultivation has been stopped on the thirteenth floor, and there is even a faint downward trend. My new sword, on the other hand, has not been forged for a long time. It's not that there is a complete lack of materials for forging swords, but that's only a small part of the reason. What's more, since that time, I think I'm a little unfamiliar with the kendo under my feet. So I wondered if I could find a new way of the sword and let Xiu Wei raise it again. You know my character, I never go back and pick up what I once had and then lost. It's my character, and it's my way. ”
Perhaps for many cultivators, it is absolutely impossible to tell outsiders about things that involve their own Dao. But Chen Yijian has never had such scruples in front of Zhang Longhu. From this point, it can also be seen how unbreakable the friendship between Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu is.
As for Yuan He and his wife and the crested starling on the side, Chen Yijian didn't worry about it at all. Aside from the fact that Yuan He and his wife are not monks, they are just the most ordinary people. Let's just say that the crested starling, although in a sense, it also belongs to the ranks of monks. But one is a human and the other is a demon. The avenues that the two come into contact with are not the same thing at all.
That's why Chen Yijian said this to Zhang Longhu so bluntly.
Otherwise, how could Chen Yijian be stupid enough to do such a thing!
After Zhang Longhu heard his words, he pondered for a while. Then he opened his mouth and said to him: "In this way, if you are not in a hurry, just wait for me to recover from my injuries, and I will accompany you to Longchuan." Anyway, the main purpose of my coming here is also to experience. Since it's an experience, it's not an experience, right?"
Chen Yijian did not refuse this, nor did he say anything to thank him. As Zhang Longhu himself said, where is not the experience. Since it's all experience, why care about where?!
Chen Yijian, who was in a slightly better mood, turned his head to look at Yuan He, who was walking behind him. On the handsome cheeks, there is still a familiar bright smile. opened his mouth and said to Yuan He: "Uncle Yuan, don't forget what you promised me." ”
Yuan He, who has been walking with his head buried in his head, thinking about things in his heart. After suddenly hearing Chen Yijian's words, he raised his lowered head and also looked at Chen Yijian, who was walking in front. When he saw the familiar smile on the young man's face, a simple smile appeared above Yuan Heben's somewhat melancholy cheeks. opened his mouth and said to him: "Chen Gongzi, don't worry, I will help you complete it!"
Chen Yijian grinned happily, like an innocent child.
The road to Zhixian is not far. Soon, in the small talk of Chen Yijian and others, he returned to the back hall of Zhixian County.
Yuan Xiaoshan, who was sitting in the corridor, saw his parents come back. He immediately got up from his chair and walked towards them. "Dad, mother, are you all right?"
Yuan He nodded, said that it was okay, and then stopped talking.
It was Yuan's mother, who sobbed quietly after taking Yuan Xiaoshan into her arms. However, he didn't say much about the situation by the river, just picked out some innocuous things to talk to her. It is estimated that Yuan's mother is worried, if she tells her daughter everything, she will make her daughter afraid!
Chen Yijian wanted to say something to Yuan Xiaoshan, but when he saw the appearance of the mother and daughter at this time, he dispelled this idea. Then he pointed to the crested starling who had changed into Yuan Xiaoyi, and asked Zhang Longhu, "Do you need to cast a spell again?"
Zhang Longhu, who was already sitting on a chair in the cloister, looked at the crested starling. said: "No, it is estimated that there will be a stick of incense again, and it will be able to look like it was." But there is one thing I still have to say first, after all, it is also your little brother now. Even after this incident, I am afraid that it will hinder its future practice. But you don't have to worry, there are disadvantages and advantages. I don't care about anything else, but it will be of great help to you in the future. ”
The first half of the sentence is said to Chen Yijian, and the second half of the sentence is said to the crested starling.
After hearing these words, the crested starling hurriedly waved at Zhang Longhu to express his gratitude to him.
For it, it really doesn't care how far it can go in the future. All it cares about is the opportunity to transform into a human being. This has been the case before, and it will always be so.
Especially today, after it has changed into an adult, this thought in my heart is even more deep-rooted and unchanging.
——
On the mountain road a hundred miles west of Fukuzawa Town, a pale yellow light flashed away.
When I saw it again, it was hundreds of paces away.
The yellow light is very faint and very short. Walking through the withered weeds, it's almost impossible to spot.
Suddenly, a pale yellow light that moved forward like lightning stopped abruptly on a large protruding boulder. The figure of the weasel instantly appeared from the yellow light. A pair of short hairy calves stepped on the boulder, and two hands that were also not long crossed in front of each other. A thief's little head, constantly looking ahead.
It's just that it's too short to see too far. Even if it was already standing on the top of the boulder and jumping up and looking forward, there was not much of a real difference in the end.
This made the grumpy weasel can't help but scold: "What the hell, you are such a big stone, and you are only so tall." If it were you, I would have to find a place to hide, where would you be a cheeky pestle in the middle of the road. ”
The unwilling weasel jumped up again and looked into the distance. Only this time when it landed on the ground, it accidentally fell off the boulder. Suddenly, there was a wave of scolding from the weasel, and he didn't forget to spit out a mouthful of spit on the boulder.
Maybe it was because there was gravel on the ground when I fell, and it happened to hit it. So at this time, the weasel was stretching out a hand and quickly rubbing it back and forth on his buttocks.
While rubbing, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I knew that it would be a good thing to give it to me." ”
It turned around again, and saw that there was not even a ghost in sight. He lifted his nose and sniffed in the air. In the end, it was determined that there was no one, and then the figure flashed, turned into a pale yellow light again, and quickly left in the direction from which it came.
——
Fukuzawa Town, north of the town.
In a lonely old low house, the black-robed old woman took off the black robe on her body and threw it behind a corner at will. Then he pulled over a chair and sat down a little panting.
It wasn't until this moment that the old woman's heart was already in her throat, and she relaxed a little.
Because the windows in the house were covered with a black cloth by her, and she didn't wax at this time. Even the only door that could enter the light source had been tightly closed by her. So even though the sun was shining outside, it was still dark inside the house, like late at night.
However, the old woman who has lived here for most of her life has a clear and clear mind about everything in the house.
I didn't need to look at it with my eyes, I just relied on my feelings, and I reached out and grabbed the kettle on the side and grabbed it in my hand.
Just as the old woman was about to lift the kettle to drink water, a harsh and ugly voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Your mission can be over, and Fuze Town will no longer need you to preside over the sacrifice in the future." ”
The voice was harsh, and it was bearable for the old woman, after all, this was not the first time she had heard it. But the chill in her voice made the old woman instantly get up from the chair and kneel down in front of her. And said with a pleading voice: "My lord, the slave and maid still have the value of use, and I hope that the lord can entrust him with important responsibilities again." In this life and in the next, slaves and maids will be the most powerful tools in the hands of adults. ”
I only heard the shrill voice in the darkness snort coldly, and said lightly: "You are no longer worthy!"
After speaking, she didn't wait for the old woman to speak again.
I saw a green light flash in the darkness.
The next moment, where can I hear the old woman's voice again.
Yes, it was just the faint sound of the red, hot blood rushing out of the body.
