Volume 1 The moon is as yellow as day Chapter 9 The moon is bright and the night is thick
The beauty stepped lightly, and in the blink of an eye, she crossed more than ten meters. The girl is skilled, the image of the noon rampage is no longer obvious, the horse's footsteps are slight, turning left and right, and the agility is abnormal. The girl's reins were lightly grasped, and she wanted to urge the horse again, but now the surrounding houses were staggered, and the girl's horse couldn't help but slow down slightly, and when she looked back, Li Zhiyu was long gone. The girl's head shook slightly, looked around, and then reacted, twisted the horse's head, and returned to the courtyard.
"Okay, you Li Zhiyu, this girl asked you to ride a horse and admire the moon, but you didn't give this girl face. The girl opened her mouth in a huff, jumped off her horse, and ran quickly into the courtyard. The bright moon hung high, the wind broke the willow branches, and the cool evening breeze blew through, blowing the girl's gently swaying skirt.
Inside the house, Qiu Ruhai took out a dusty table, wiped it with his sleeve, and said with a slight apology: "Don't blame the old gentleman, I have been living alone for a long time, so the furnishings in the house are slightly old, and I hope that Mr. will be one or two." Qiu Ruhai took a few cups from nowhere on the side of the desk, and went into the bedroom to find a bag of dusty tea leaves, and made a pot of hot tea.
When the girl entered the house, she saw that the heat was steaming, several people in the house were sitting together, and Li Zhiyu was standing outside the three of them, adding tea and pouring water, and his body was uncertain. The girl stepped forward quickly, stretched out her hand and pulled Li Zhiyu, with a light smile on her face. Li Zhiyu's face showed no annoyance, and he glanced at the girl, his expression becoming more and more impatient. Everyone watched the young man and girl pulling each other, just thinking that the two were playing tricks, but they didn't care, they just sat and talked.
Seeing Li Zhiyu's impatient expression, the girl became more and more embarrassed. The heart is also a joy. With his hands working hard, he took it hard, and the other arm turned lightly and pressed it on Li Zhiyu's Baihui acupoint, Li Zhiyu only felt that his head was dizzy and he almost wanted to fall to the ground.
Everyone only heard a plop, and Li Zhiyu fell down obliquely, not knowing what was going on in his heart, thinking that Li Zhiyu was overworked. I saw that the girl smiled lightly, gently helped Li Zhiyu up, and the two sat on a few cases next to them. The dust was raised, the girl just held Li Zhiyu, reached out and gently pressed Li Zhiyu's middle and middle, and after a while, Li Zhiyu's eyes opened slightly, looking at the girl's smiling face, the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she reached out and pushed the girl. I felt that my hands were as soft as no branches, and the girl's face was crimson, and her back was covered with sweat.
"How dare you be so rude, I, I haven't reached the prime of life, and you ......," the girl said angrily, her pretty face crimson, and turned her face away. I only remember that my mother said that the scholar is committed to books, and the woman is unforgettable. Today, he, he is doing this to me, how can I marry in the future. The girl was slightly angry, and her face became more and more red. Li Zhiyu saw that the girl seemed to be angry, her face was crimson, her heart was pounding, and all her anger disappeared in an instant. I was embarrassed to look at the pretty girl in front of me, and I just apologized in my heart.
The master said that the gentleman observes etiquette and knows the festival, I am like this today, but I read the sage book in vain, and I learned what Mr. said in vain, Li Zhiyu was embarrassed, but he looked at the girl and had no courage. There is no anger at this moment, no blame.
The two of them have their own words, but they can't explain it. I could only smell the fragrance of tea in the house, and the heat was thick. Liu Chengqing and the three of them were talking and laughing, and when they saw Li Zhiyu and the two of them standing aside with blushing faces, they felt very strange.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" the old servant looked up at the angry and shy girl, and was suspicious. I thought that the young lady had been touring the mountains and rivers for the past few days, letting the horses go vertically and horizontally, and hurting her body. The girl didn't raise her head, but pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her blushing face was about to drip water.
Li Zhiyu flicked his sleeve robe, wiped the sweat on his face, and flicked one sleeve lightly, shaking off the rolling heat wave beside him. The sleeve robe was lightly blowing, the breeze was a little, the heat on the face dissipated a little, and then looked at the girl with a flushed face, and couldn't help but feel another burst of heat rushing to her cheeks, and sweat dripping on her forehead.
Liu Chengqing's eyes turned slightly, very unclear, but the two of them didn't speak, but they just felt that the two might be in conflict, and they didn't care in their hearts. looked at Qiu Ruhai and said, "It's getting late today, I'll wait for the inn to rest." Tomorrow, how about forging a sword for Mr. again?" Liu Yingqing turned his head and looked at the old man.
The old man smiled slightly, and said warmly: "Since you can get the golden finger to forge a sword with your hands, the old man doesn't dare to say much, and please rest early, and Miss and I will come back tomorrow." After the old man finished speaking, he bowed down and thanked him, looked at his young lady, and signaled to leave. But the girl just lowered her head and did not speak. The old servant was a little curious in his heart, his young lady is usually lively and free, but at this time, she is so graceful and does not say a word, which is very different from usual, and she can't help but be slightly worried in her heart. After a long time, the girl got up lightly and walked out, and when the old man saw this, he stepped forward quickly, and then walked away. The two were about to go out, the girl's figure stopped slightly, turned around and said, "Li Zhiyu, remember, this girl's name is Zhao Qingrou." ”
Li Zhiyu bowed his head lightly, and silently recited the three words Zhao Qingrou in his heart, Qingrou, it is not the Qingrou who loves Qingrou in the shade of the tree, but this name is excellent, but it is not very similar to the girl's temperament. The master and servant walked out of the house one after the other, and Li Zhiyu just silently read the girl's name in his heart. After a long time, Li Zhiyu smiled shyly, and sniffed the residual fragrance on his hands.
Liu Yingqing and Qiu Ruhai walked out of the house, looked at Li Zhiyu who was alone in a daze, and said with a smile: "Why is this? Li Zhiyu's face blushed when he heard this, and he walked quickly.
"Dementia, dementia, dementia, dementia, dementia, dementia. Li Zhiyu muttered to himself and walked out of the house, the cool evening breeze blew the long hair on his forehead, slightly reducing the heat in his heart.
At this moment, the moonlight is hazy, the clear light of the road is sprinkled on the windowsill, the leaves are rustling, and the dogs are occasionally barking.
After a few people came out of the deep alley, Liu Chengqing looked at Qiu Ruhai, and saw that he had no intention of leaving, but thought that Qiu Ruhai wanted to follow the example of the ancients and bid farewell thousands of miles, and his heart was hot. smiled: "Ruhai, don't send more, Zhiyu and I are self-invested in the inn." Qiu Ruhai's eyes widened and said, "You fucking joke Lao Tzu." You don't see where I go to rest.
Liu Chengqing said again: "There is nowhere to sleep, so where did you sleep before? Liu Yingqing raised his face lightly and looked at the strong muscles on Qiu Ruhai's body. Qiu Ruhai's old face flushed, and he said: "Lao Tzu sings and drinks every day, and it's better than you fucking with an illegitimate child....... The two laughed and scolded, Li Zhiyu just lowered his head slightly, and sniffed the fragrance on his hands, and his face was even hotter.
The three of them walked towards the east gate of Meiping County together, only to see the inside of the east gate, the street lanterns swaying gently, and the hall was bright everywhere, like day. Li Zhiyu and the three of them just watched left and right, playing and enjoying the scenery, dizzying. After a while, I saw a house next to the street, and there was a house that was even colorful, and it was difficult to see the light shining and disappearing. Most of them are in darkness, and occasionally the eaves are exposed, but it is difficult for the living to find them without looking closely.
Li Zhiyu's heart is slightly strange, and most of the people who open shops and sellers are all big-faceted and colorful, mainly mottled and dazzling. But this inn is not, mediocre
, if it weren't for Liu Chengqing and the others, he wouldn't have paid too much attention even if he passed by.
"It's been more than ten years since this store opened. Liu Chengqing looked embarrassed and said softly. Qiu Ruhai looked at the small words carved by hand on the shop in a daze, but he was silent. After staring for a long time, he sighed deeply, and gently pushed open the door of the store, only to see a faint light, and occasionally a slight snoring sounded in the room.
Li Zhiyu stepped over the threshold with one foot, and he was only surprised in his heart. Although he and his master have been hidden in the mountains and forests for a long time, although the mountain village is remote, it is rare to see such a bleak scene. The night is dark, and it is inevitable that ordinary people will turn off the lights and rest, and it is natural that there may be curfews. But now that the two countries have reconciled, although there is a curfew, it is only a major national event, so it is a little strange that the place where this shop is located is remote and decorated like this.
Under the counter, an old servant in black fell asleep, the lights and candles on the counter flickered, and the fire was uncertain. Occasionally, the breeze outside the house penetrated through the corner of the door, but the candlelight became more and more ethereal, and the inside of the house gradually became obscure.
Liu Yingqing took the lead, slowly paced to the counter, glanced at the old servant who was snoring, and a burst of heat surged in his heart.
"This old ghost sleeps deeply. Liu Yingqing muttered. Stretched out his hand and knocked on the counter, and the old man yawned and said after a while.
"Who? It's not easy for me to fall asleep at an old age. The old man stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at the three of them by the faint light in front of him.
The old man's cloudy eyes swept over and over the three of them, and after looking at them over and over again, roughly three or four times, the old man said in a trembling voice: "Negative Qing" Liu Zhiqing nodded slightly, reached out to pick up the candle, and poured out the wax tears in the candle. There is a poem that says: The wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry, but the tears are not tight, but the most important wax marks are difficult to eliminate.
As Liu Yingqing poured out his tears, the room was instantly much brighter. Li Zhiyu's eyes widened and he looked at the decoration utensils in the room. The utensils in the house are less than the luxurious utensils outside, but they are more than enough in the depths of this courtyard. Li Zhiyu's footsteps moved, just looking at the furnishings in the house, his eyes were getting dark, but he walked to the back hall.
Li Zhiyu panicked slightly, although he was a guest. There is a way to be a guest and a host, but the interior decoration of this inn is not quite the same as the outside world, and it is obvious that the owner is not easy to give. If the shopkeeper is self-sufficient, it is fine, even if he rolls his eyes at me, it will be fine for me. If the shopkeeper has a perverse temperament, it is extremely bad. Li Zhiyu stopped quietly, turned around, and was about to withdraw, only to hear the faint sound of chanting coming in front of him.
Li Zhiyu wanted to go out, but when he heard the chanting, he felt curious in his heart, and wanted to look back, but he was afraid of disturbing his master Yaxing; If you preach with the Magi on this moonlit and windy night, wouldn't it be a great blessing in life? Li Zhiyu fought against heaven and man. It took a long time to make up my mind and step in.
Out of the front hall, the front room is much brighter and more spacious. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and with this moonlight, Li Zhiyu looked carefully at the place where the recitation voice came from. Helplessly, the backyard is lined with bamboos, and there are only layers of reflections as far as the eye can see. At this time, another chanting voice came out, and Li Zhiyu understood one of the sentences because he was a little closer.
"The beauty rolls the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns. But when I saw the tears wet, I didn't know who I hated. ”
Li Zhiyu was surprised, and when he heard the slender and long voice, he concluded that it was not a man's voice. But on this moonlit night, I don't know why this woman is so distressed. In the past, the poems and books I read were all works of looking at the moon and missing my hometown relatives and friends, even if there were occasional things about men and women, but there were very few. When the dynasty was founded, Taizu Yellow Emperor was happy to open and close, and the weather was rushing, but he was not very happy about these sad and complaining poems. Therefore, the son of the world writes books, mostly sad and heroic works, although these poems and books of your sorrow and grievance are there, they are only sent privately by the scholar to his favorite girl, but they are not on the stage. This woman muttered to herself, could it be that she missed her lover.
Li Zhiyu thought in his heart, and the slightly coquettish girl appeared in his mind again, and there was a burst of sweetness in his heart. I thought to myself, if I was bullied by her like this for a lifetime, it would be excellent.
