Chapter 47: Crossing the River
For the remaining two days, Jiang Huai didn't see the girl from the inn again, only occasionally leaning on the window, looking far away, or pricking up his ears, wanting to listen to the laughter that seemed to be very close but was actually far away.
The young man who thought he was very down-and-out picked up his long sword and walked to the dock of Jiangfang County, pinched out a green tea leaf with two fingers, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, looking at the same rippling water in the river in front of him, he accidentally remembered the bold words he had said before the Chongxiao River that day, shook his head, and muttered: "Why do you put yourself in such a high position, thinking that others will listen to what you say, and others will be willing to say it... Give you a chance. ”
Under the cover of that gloomy wooden card, there were two golden threads in the young man's body that were scurrying back and forth in the six hundred zhang qi mansion, and he seemed to have his head held high in the vast air, and he was very happy.
During the period of time he walked out of Gaohai County, the young man not only repaired as before, but also refined nearly eighty zhang of Qi Sea, so as to gather two golden thread Xiaojiao.
After saying this softly, he continued to the huge ship with the Wind Ride on its side, and boarded the ship by stairs led by a boatman.
The ship is divided into three layers, the first deck only needs one or two silver, but it is necessary to sleep with heaven and earth, talk about the sun and the moon, fortunately on the hot day, the weather is hot and dry, although there is a sea breeze in the middle of the night, it can still only be regarded as refreshing, not too difficult.
And there are dozens of rooms on the second floor, five taels of silver per person, like the second room of the inn, one bed and one table, the heat in the small space is unbearable, except that there is a solitary space, it is really not as happy as the deck.
There are only four rooms on the third floor, and as for what price and what is in it, the young man didn't ask or dare to ask, and chose the narrow hut on the second floor for five taels of silver.
When the boy boarded the ship with the token peculiar to the passenger ship, many of the pedestrians leaning on the deck looked at each other, except for a few whispers, and more attention was fixed on the unsheathed sword wrapped in black cloth behind the boy.
This perennial person who has been running around the rivers and lakes all year round, no matter what his skills are, his eyesight is very good, and some people even conclude that the sword has been stained with blood, and there are a lot of them.
Some people laugh at the conclusion of this coffin, a hairy boy with a sword on his back can be said to have killed someone or divided into a category that cannot be provoked.
Is that Lao Tzu also lifting a sword and shaking out two sword flowers, should it be called the unstoppable, free and easy sword cultivator.
For a certain kind of remarks, the teenager just didn't want to say it.
After touching a stick of incense, white smoke billowed from the stern of the boat, and the big ship moved slowly.
After Jiang Huai entered the house, he turned back and came out, standing on the guardrail on the second floor and looking into the distance, the secluded river swept away from both sides of the boat, the sky and water were the same color, and there were occasional white birds singing, so a clear sight, how could it not make people feel comfortable.
Hearing a familiar voice, the young man looked up, but he stumbled and almost sat on the ground, and hurriedly grabbed the guardrail to stabilize his figure, and said in surprise: "Thank you... Thank you, girl. ”
Xie Qiu, a girl who had changed into comfortable and clean casual clothes on the third floor, was leaning on the guardrail and looking down on it, and said "big fool" and turned back to the house.
The young man who was slightly stunned was surging and was extinguished by a basin of cold water, tightened the long sword behind him, showed a wry smile, and then he was relieved, there is only one ferry here, how can he not meet if he needs to travel far.
When the young man was looking into the distance, a rickety old man patted him on the shoulder, sat down with a drink and said with a smile: "How about drinking a glass of wine with the old man." ”
The young man didn't dare to look at it from his heights, so he immediately sat down cross-legged and asked, "I don't know who the seniors are?"
The old man pursed his lips and smiled freely, "I, I am a barbarian in the mouth of your scholars, or someone in some of the younger generations in my hometown who aspires to emulate, but on this boat I am just a passerby who meets you in the water." ”
The young man hurriedly shook his head, and the old man smiled: "I didn't say you, it's just some scholars, the world is strange, there are one or two flies in the pot, it's not strange." ”
He turned over his hand and took out a jug of sake again, and asked with a smile, "Can you drink it?"
The boy nodded, "It's okay." ”
Then two people went through three rounds of drinking.
This rickety old man from the Dragon and Tiger Sect, who is still the top of ten thousand people even if he goes up to the Dragon Martial Kingdom, smiled slightly, looked at Jiang Shui and said indifferently: "Young man, don't worry if you like a person, wait until you have some family background or do some big things in the future to talk about this matter, no matter if there is any obstruction at that time, of course, you will fight first." ”
Speaking of this, the old man stretched out his thumb and said proudly: "For example, old man, I was so many yin and yang weird people back then, it was not a crying father who was beaten by me and called his mother, but someone moved out of several mountains with great magic power and wanted to bully me, but so what, I had to punch forward, and the mountains opened by themselves!"
Without waiting for the young man to reply, the old man continued to ask: "But on the other hand, if you just like girls with eyes like autumn water, then you may be able to meet a second, third, or even hundreds in the future, how do you solve it?" ”
The young man suddenly felt a chill on his back, but he also instantly knew the identity of this person, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said, "I will only like one." ”
The old man shook his head and said indifferently: "You don't know what it means to like, but you just feel that someone meets the appearance you yearn for in your heart, and you don't know each other or each other. ”
The young man listened very carefully, and only after the old man finished speaking did he answer: "According to the seniors, what is like." ”
The old man still shook his head and smiled, "The flowers are full of fragrances, and there are thousands of thoughts, how can you guess what someone thinks in their hearts, it may be that they stepped forward in that moment of crisis, or the heroism respected by those ten thousand people, or they have a handsome face." ”
The boy was silent.
The rickety old man looked at the silent young man, raised his eyebrows and said: "If you have the opportunity to get someone's favor in the future, you can magnify this matter infinitely and put it in front of the country, you are pretending to be a girl in your heart, or those tens of millions of people." ”
He then added: "Don't think about it, there is absolutely no such thing in the world, and even if there is, there are more doors and doors than you can imagine." “
The young man was puzzled: "But I'm just an ordinary scholar." ”
The old man got up and left silently, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said the words that had been on his lips every day, "Just wait and see." ”
The young man was stunned, then got up and said, "Then if it is the same country, won't it be solved?"
The rickety old man stopped climbing the stairs, smiled slightly with the eyes of the elders looking at the juniors, and quipped: "Do you understand what you are talking about, or do you not know how to pretend to understand, pointing to the deer as a horse, so as to confuse the public?"
The white-clothed young man with his sword on his back nodded and shook his head, but his expression was very resolute, "The words of the old man are too profound, I naturally don't understand, but why do you want to compare these two." ”
The old man drank all the wine in one gulp, threw it into the river casually, and a majestic momentum like the top of the mountain swept over the young man's body, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you take the sword on this trip, and then continue to the north, and see the other situation under this state of the world, neither fart and urine flow nor lose your heart, then you can go to a place called Dragon and Tiger Sect in Longwu Country, before that, if you dare to have any thoughts, the old man will let you taste what it is like to break your soul with one punch." ”
The rickety old man who had regained his momentum and landed on the third floor turned back to the house, and at the moment of his door, he muttered a nonsensical word, "Old fellow, are you really stupid or fake stupid." ”
In the next three days, except for the young man in white who was bored and watched the river from afar, the rest of them condensed the qi mansion in the house, and they didn't say anything about the lively scene on the deck or the old man and the girl on the third floor.
Only when she disembarked from the boat, she stared slightly at the girl who was moving forward without hesitation, turned back, and continued north in the opposite route.
The rickety old man named Xie Changsheng swept up to the sky with the girl with a young face and a particularly tough body not far from the boat, and bypassed a road to the north on the map of Ningzhou.
Someone whispered softly from the sea of clouds, "Above all things, on the top of all beings, there can be a mighty spirit that lasts forever." ”
Then the man replied, "Then just wait and see." ”
