Lunar calendar, the fifth day of the third month. Rain.

Xu Liuliu said goodbye to Xu Zisi and Xu drooping, shoulders and worries, pulled the reins, flew on the horse, drove a long sound, broke through the fog, and in less than half a moment, he had already fallen into the lewd rain.

Seeing this, Song Yougu immediately turned around and waved goodbye to the father and son of the Xu family, and saw the smiles on the faces of the father and son, and heard Xu drooping and said loudly: "Brother Song, when the matter is over, remember to return to Xianpeng Villa with my sister, I should fight with you for a thousand cups, and then ask for more advice on the cultivation method of gold scales and silver tails." ”

Song Yougu sneered, forced a smile, and said lightly: "The younger generation will say goodbye, and the meeting will be ...... There is a period. The voice fell, and the horse rushed out of the distance.

After about half a bag of cigarettes, he can finally stay with Xu and keep it. Song Yougu felt the continuous drizzle floating on his bare skin, like a living thing, straight into the half-open pores. The touch was like spreading countless thin, soft and slimy fishing bait, leaving it all over the head and face, and there was nowhere to hide.

Thinking about it like this for a while, Song Yougu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and slowly reached out and tightened the clothes on his body.

Xu Liuliu's eyes were slightly sideways, and he chuckled when he saw this, "Thank you Gongzi Song for escorting you on this trip." ”

The corners of Song Yougu's lips pursed, and he responded softly: "Where, where." I borrowed Miss Xu's light, so that I could enter Xianpeng Villa and make friends with Xu Daxia and Brother Xu. ”

Xu Liuliu heard the voice, and the smile was even more difficult to hide, the corners of his lips and eyes were curved, and he said softly: "Song Gongzi is not like a person who likes to talk about scenes like this. ”

Song Yougu's cheeks were hot, but his spine was cold, his body couldn't help but tremble, his lips were slightly open, but he didn't say a word.

Xu Liuliu held the reins in one hand and raised the whip in the other, and said loudly: "I look at my brother, but he has a contract with Song Gongzi." ”

"In the past two days, Xu Daxia has stayed down, which is also excellent. ”

Xu Liuliu snorted, and no longer responded, the reins tightened to the right, and a man and a horse had already chosen the right fork and galloped away.

"This ......" Song Yougu was suspicious, stopped the horse at the intersection, looked around again, and said: "If you go to Boshan, according to the original road, shouldn't you go to the left?"

The two of them galloped for more than an hour before arriving at a small town, called "Mingquan".

Song Yougu raised his eyebrows, seeing that this town is backed by green mountains, and the side is green, and it must be a place of outstanding people.

"Miss Xu is here to visit a friend?"

Xu Liuliu waved his hand slowly, slowly got off the horse, looked at the ground with low eyebrows, and after a while, Fang said: "This place, when I was young, I heard my father mention it, saying that it was the soil pattern hidden, the shape of dragon scales, sand marks and stone gaps, and there were springs everywhere, and Mingquan Town was named after it. It's the first time I've been here. ”

"I don't know what Miss Xu means here?" Song Yougu raised his palm slightly, and slowly rubbed his nose with two fingers.

"A few days ago, there were many high-rollers in the villa, and my father met friends with martial arts, and he appreciated the two swordsmen. Xu Liuliu led the horse, not to the town, but to the outskirts of the town, and said as he went: "It's a pity that those two people are obsessed with martial arts, and their lives are down, and they don't know where the next meal is." My father sent the old servant of the mountain villa to follow him to this place, and he wanted to give him money, but the two of them were very high-minded, and refused to accept it; my father couldn't, so he told me to come here again in front of Bo Mountain, and try my luck. ”

When Song Yougu heard this, he raised his eyes and muttered softly: "These two people are amazing. However, Xu Daxia is even more surprising. Without saying a word, he looked sideways and saw Xu Liuliu in front of him, Song Yougu was stunned, swallowed the last note, and said in a low voice: "Your family, happy to rush to be a fortune boy;

Xu Liuliu couldn't hear Song Yougu clearly, and he didn't pay attention to him, he was silent for a moment, and then answered: "The two brothers don't follow the customs. When the old servant returned, he told his father that the two of them had two livelihoods in Mingquan Town. One is a letter stall, ghostwriting letters and obituaries, and the other is a style field, improvised sword dancing and feeding moves, but the moves are too rigorous, and they are not as prosperous as the group of fire-breathing diamond circles, snake dancers and monkey sellers around them. ”

Song Yougu snorted lightly and answered lazily, "If those two swordsmen are appreciated by Xu Daxia, their exercises are comparable to those of the flower fist show legs of the broken boulder on the chest." Too powerful sword moves, not for fun, only to kill people and kill people. ”

Xu Liuliu responded in a deep voice, and when he heard Song Yougu, he continued again: "Now those two people are not in the town?"

Xu Liuliu walked a few steps quickly, raised his palm and pointed forward, turned around and smiled at Song Yougu: "What the old servant said is not bad, those two people, since returning to Mingquan, they will stay in the suburbs more." ”

Song Yougu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already seen the grave mound one after another not far away, and he secretly reprimanded him for being unlucky, but then he thought about it carefully, but he also understood.

"Qingming is coming. ”

Xu stayed by the horse's side, sighed, scratched the rash on his left wrist with his right hand, and said while scratching: "In recent days, the drizzle has been continuous, and it is really humid and tight. ”

The two looked at each other, both speechless, and their eyes rushed forward, and waves rushed to the two men kneeling in front of the grave.

The two men, now unsheathed their swords, placed themselves at their sides, knelt on their knees, and clenched their palms between their thighs.

In front of him, there is a stone stele, half a person is high, and the book written by the Zhu pen on it is "the first test Xuanchun thin, the first Xuan Chen's tomb, not Xiao Zixuan Baimo, Xuan Rouhan kneeling".

In front of the tomb, there are three incense plants, there is still a plate of melon and fruit cakes, a wine pot with a curved neck and a thin waist and a round belly, a white porcelain wine cup, and a charred black iron basin, burning yellow paper inside.

The Xuan brothers' shoulders trembled slightly, and when they looked at each other with their cheeks, they already saw Song Yougu Xu and the two of them behind them. The eight eyes met, and the two sons of the Xuan family bowed their heads together, their lips were open, but they couldn't tell what the words were.

Seeing this, Xu Liuliu pursed the corners of his lips, handed the reins in his palm to Song Yougu, pulled the cuffs of his left wrist shirt, and stepped forward.

"Both, long looking. ”

"I don't know the two brothers. Xuan Baimo and Xuan Rouhan changed their eyes, glanced at Xu Liuliu on their backs, bowed their hands, lowered their eyebrows again, and looked at the tombstone in front of them.

"Stay in Xiaxu. Not long ago, the two of them went to Xianpeng Villa, and my father was deeply impressed, and he hung on his mouth from time to time, praising him non-stop. ”

When the Xuan family brothers heard this, their cheeks immediately turned red, and they shook their eyebrows slightly, and said, "Xu Daxia is too polite." My brother not only had a full meal in the village, but also got Xu Daxia to guide the swordsmanship, and two days ago, there were also servants from the villa who came to give the silver. How can my two brothers bear such kindness?"

Xu Liuliu couldn't help but smile, and before the two of them finished speaking, he had already taken out a camel-colored Ruyi dark pattern money bag from his sleeve, and said lightly: "The two refused to accept it that day, and they had to run again today." ”

Xuan Baimo's face was a little frightened, and before he lifted his jaw, he waved his hands hurriedly: "Miss Xu...... This matter cannot be decided. ”

"Why?"

"Relying on people's resources, there is no way to be self-sufficient. ”

Xu Liuliu chuckled lightly and said, "Xianpeng Villa, Xianpeng in the world." My father taught me since I was a child, and I relied on my friends when I went out, and the two of them didn't accept it so strictly, didn't they regard my father as a friend?"

When the two sons of the Xuan family heard this, they finally got up, didn't care about patting the dust and grass seeds on their knees, and all of them rushed to Xu Liuliu Shi to bow their hands.

So he took it away. Seeing this, Xu Liuliu slowly handed the money bag forward.

"The grace of support, the friendship of helping each other, we are grateful. Xuan Baimo raised his eyebrows and replied loudly, "It's a pity, my father has taught me since I was a child, and the friendship between the villains is like a li." True friends, it's not that way to cut off. ”

"If not, how should it be used?"

"The wind doesn't blow the face, and the fire doesn't melt the tendons. Xuan Baimo scratched his head, saw Xu Liuliu's eyebrows, couldn't help but tighten shyly, and continued: "True friend...... Protect what is most dear to the other party. After this remark, the Xuan brothers all smiled lightly at Xu Liuliu, flowing in their eyes, and they were handsome and innocent.

Seeing this, Xu Liuliu secretly admired Xu Zi Silai, put the money bag together, and said: "In this way, I will say a word to my father." ”

"Please. ”

"From today onwards, in Xianpeng Villa, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks are added to three meals a day, and three jars of good wine are always prepared in the backyard of the study. ”

The Xuan brothers were heartbroken, and the three of them looked at each other, feeling quite light.

At this time, Xu Liuliu looked sideways for a while, and saw three people walking slowly not far away. A man and a woman, who looked like a husband and wife, were half a hundred old women in the middle. His dress was not luxurious, but it was neat and decent, and his gray hair was evenly oiled and untidy, but his eyes were too cloudy, erratic, and empty.

Xu Liuliu saw the three of them walking sideways and went to another grave on the side. This tomb is only half a zhang away from the tomb of the Xuan brothers, and in front of the grave is a slender wooden tablet, on which the grass is numbered: the tomb of my son, the mother weeps. Even the name and surname in the tomb are not clear.

"Auntie, let's give the eldest brother a pillar of incense. The young man beside the old woman softly handed the incense candle, and took the old woman's wrist and led her to insert the incense in front of the tomb.

"No...... No...... My two children...... My mother did it today...... Mountain mushroom bamboo shoot slices...... Spicy stir-fried spit-iron ...... Don't be playful, and go home with your mother...... "The old woman danced with her arms outstretched, jumped on the ground, and stepped forward to kick down some of the tributes that her daughter-in-law had just taken out of the basket.......

"A-Niang, A-Niang!" The man and the woman glanced at each other, but there was no anger on their faces, but they shook their heads helplessly, and one of them pulled the old woman's arm, and then bent his knees again, and put the messy tribute together.

"My child...... Clever and ...... Pretty again. The old woman blinked her eyebrows twice, the corners of her lips had saliva slowly falling, and she saw the Xuanjia brothers on the side, she made a steep effort, broke free of the restraints, and stepped forward, grabbed the sleeves of Xuanbai ink, approached her lips, wiped the saliva liquid, and then looked at Xuanbai ink steadily, smiling.

"My son...... My son ......"

Seeing this, the young man sighed, hurriedly stepped forward to grab the old woman, and responded, "Auntie, don't say something crazy." The voice fell, and he pleaded directly at Xuan Baimo, "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised." ”

The corners of Xuan Baimo's lips trembled slightly, smiled bitterly twice, and did not say a word.

"Go home...... I want to go home!" the old woman had another seizure abruptly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing this, his son and daughter-in-law soothed with kind words, rolled up their sleeves, hastily wiped the wooden sign in front of the grave, and bowed three times perfunctorily to the tombstone, and then supported the old woman and slowly returned.

When the Xuan brothers rubbed shoulders with the couple, they bowed their heads slightly, and then knelt in front of the grave of their parents again, each picked up his sword, and with a skillful force with one hand, he unsheathed the sword and plunged it straight into the soil.

Xu Liu's mind was full of flavors, and he couldn't say anything for a while, standing for a while, lowering his eyebrows, and seeing the back of the three people of the family reflected in the saber. Xu Liuliu's eyes jumped and jumped with the old woman's trembling steps, full of indescribable desolation and sourness.

"Two brothers, there will be a period later. Xu Liuliu slowly swallowed his cold saliva and said goodbye.

The Xuan brothers also arched their hands, their necks, shoulders and backs were not moving, their eyes were wide open, but they didn't know if they were looking at the tombstone in front of them, or the long sword. In an instant, the boy burst into tears, and finally when Xu Liuliu turned his back, he overflowed out of his eyes.

Song Yougu led the two horses, hesitated for a long time, saw Xu Liuliu and returned, and was about to step forward, but saw him hurrying to catch up with the old woman, turning the silver bag with two fingers, I don't know what to say to the young man next to the old woman, from time to time he glanced at the Xuan brothers, and while gesturing, he stuffed the money bag into the young man's arms.

"Let's go, to Boshan. Xu Liuliu was a little excited, jumped to Song Yougu's side in a few steps, jumped on the horse, and laughed loudly at Song Yougu.

"The swordsman......"

"Kneel before the grave with him, love for a few days, mourn for a few days, and always do good deeds. ”

"That silver ......" Song Yougu was stunned, not knowing why.

"Just send it out, and you can give it to whomever you want. ”

Song Yougu chuckled, swept the high or low graves not far away, and then fixed his eyes on the two lonely backs: the wind passed through the sword, and the two white lights not only chilled Song Yougu's eyes, but also softened Song Yougu's viscera.
