Text Chapter 30: Xiao Qu
Zhang Junshi looked around, and when he saw Yang Surou and Wang Huaili, he showed a bright smile, and suddenly felt a sense of cordiality, and even Yang Surou, who had never had a good face, showed a charming smile.
But when he saw Qin Xinyin, Zhang Junshi's eyes were stunned and his breathing stagnated. But he quickly came back to his senses, glanced at Nie Li, nodded, arched his hand, and Nie Li simply returned the salute.
"Jun Shi, this is Rou'er's fellow senior sister, Miss Qin, a senior disciple of Tianyin Valley, and their junior brother Nie Shaoxia. Wang Huaili introduced the two of them to Zhang Junshi, and Zhang Junshi just got up and said, "Zhang Junshi has seen Miss Qin and Nie Junior Brother in the next." ”
Where etiquette is obtained, there is no indication of the slightest bias. Qin Xinyin stood up and saluted back, saying, "Qin Xinyin is polite." "This man is not as disgusting as Wang Huaili, and Qin Xinyin is not good not to tell the other party. The ethereal voice made Zhang Junshi wander in it, and he almost couldn't extricate himself, such a woman, but it is really rare in the world.
"I've seen Brother Zhang in Xia Nie Li. Nie Li didn't stand up, but just bowed his hand, which made Zhang Junshi a little unhappy, this person looked down on him in such a posture.
"Jun Shi, Nie junior brother is in poor health, forgive me. Wang Huaili hurriedly said, he has known Zhang Junshi for so many years, he knows very well who he is, and he can't let today's banquet be disappointed because of this matter.
Zhang Junshi smiled and said that it was okay. Then sitting next to Yang Surou, the three of them hadn't gotten together like this for a long time, they were happy for a while, they kept talking, Wang Huaili smiled, this is the result he wanted, although there was Zhang Junshi, but he knew that Zhang Junshi didn't like Yang Surou, so he became a little assistant of his own.
Nie Li and Qin Xinyin simply sat because they couldn't interject, but the two of them didn't know each other, and they didn't know how to speak, the awkward atmosphere made the two of them a little uncomfortable, but they didn't seem to be uncomfortable.
"I'm afraid that this Wang Huaili has seen you before, otherwise I wouldn't have found such a reason. I have to say that he is very smart. "He came to me yesterday, everything is an expedient measure, and I hope your Excellency can accompany me to perform." ”
The table was soon filled with delicacies, Wang Huaili took the lead in raising a glass of wine, and the other four people also raised their glasses in their hands, and then drank them all. After drinking, he began to talk about some things he had seen and heard. Nie Li also pricked up his ears and listened all the time.
"Jun Shi, how long will you stay this time? Wang Huaili put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, and then said to Zhang Junshi.
"I'm not going to leave this time, I'm helping my father with his affairs, he's a little old. As a son of man, you should be filial. Zhang Junbao sighed, lowered his head and said softly.
"That's fine, with you, this Yunhai City will definitely get better. Yang Surou responded casually, she also knows very well who Zhang Junbao is, especially today, she wants to match Qin Xinyin and Zhang Junshi. Lang is talented and beautiful, she is really a perfect match, as for Nie Li, she didn't think that this kid was worthy of Qin Xinyin, not to despise him, but to feel that sometimes identity and background are insurmountable gaps.
"Jun Shi, I heard that you learned from a master of the rivers and lakes before, how is it now. Speaking of martial arts, Wang Huaili suddenly became interested, although he was lazy by nature and not very enthusiastic about martial arts, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
"He saw that I had achieved a little success in my art, so he asked me to go down the mountain. said that from now on, the rivers and lakes will rely on themselves, and they are not allowed to mention his name again. Zhang Junshi said calmly, but there was some pride and arrogance in his eyes.
"You're really funny, master. When Yang Surou heard this, she was very curious about such a master.
"Little Brother Nie doesn't know how kung fu is, let's have a discussion. Seeing Nie Li and Qin Xinyin whispering, Zhang Junshi turned the topic to Nie Li, so that Wang Huaili was a little interested, he had always been curious about Nie Li's kung fu, but Yang Surou and Qin Xinyin were a little worried, Nie Li's kung fu The two of them have seen, and they will definitely not be Zhang Junshi's opponents, at least Yang Surou does not feel that she is sure to win against Zhang Junshi.
Yang Surou just wanted to speak, but Qin Xinyin spoke: "Zhang Shaoxia is afraid that it is difficult for some strong people, our Tianyin Valley majors in music and rhythm, but it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance with fists and feet, and this junior brother has only been in the master for a shallow time, and his skills are extremely weak." There is a beginning and an end to what he said, so that Zhang Junbao couldn't find any reason.
"It's better to be like this, today's banquet is deserted, why don't you come to meet friends with martial arts, let Nie Shaoxia play a song for yourself, I also have a sword dance, let's help everyone first." After speaking, Zhang Junshi had already stood up and stood in the center, and Wang Huaili asked someone to bring a wooden sword.
After weighing a few times in his hand, Zhang Junshi has already begun to dance, fluttering robes, with noble temperament, like the heavenly immortals in the clouds, the sword in his hand opens and closes, and it is like a white cloud outside the sky, sometimes gathered, sometimes fluttering, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, and the people who see it are fascinated, as if sitting on the clouds.
After a dance, Yang Surou and Wang Huaili kept applauding, even Qin Xinyin, who had always been arrogant and cold, rarely applauded, Zhang Junshi smiled and bowed his head, then handed the sword to his subordinates, and then looked at Nie Li.
Qin Xinyin knew that the difficulty was coming, when Zhang Junshi said that sentence just now, he wanted to refuse, but the other party cut it first and then played it, and danced directly, today he wanted to hang Nie Li in public.
Nie Li buried his head and smiled bitterly, it was really a disaster, although Zhang Junshi hid it well, but he could feel the expression he inadvertently revealed, Zhang Junshi had a good impression of Qin Xinyin, but this situation is normal, as long as a woman like Qin Xinyin is a man, she wants to get it, but Nie Li knows what he is, this kind of person is not the same world as himself.
Standing up, under the gaze of Qin Xinyin and Yang Surou, Nie Li told Wang Huaili that he needed a flute, and soon, his subordinate brought a wooden flute, which was smooth and comfortable to hold, but compared with his own bamboo flute, it was a little worse after all, but it didn't affect him much.
With his eyes closed, he brought the flute to his mouth, Nie Li began to play, his memory was stretched far away, the morning mist of the Xianlin River, and the clear river, the people coming and going at the ferry, and the peaceful and quiet under the sunset.
The home in the depths of the bamboo forest, the person who has accompanied him for 14 years, the corpses and thoughts buried under the wordless stone tablet, these scenes and people that are clearly engraved in the depths of memory no longer belong to him.
It's like the river that is in the fairy river, it has always been so clear, but what you see it is always changing. Those memories are still in the body, the bamboo forest is also there, the people at the ferry may still come and go, and the home is also there.
It's just that the person is gone, one is buried in the loess, the other is adrift with killing and sadding, maybe he will leave after all, he is destined to drift, just like that dream, he can only fly forever without feet, there is no end.
A song blows out all kinds of bitterness, and one person bears a lot of hatred. is full of resentment about being away from home, and this body is already far away from the mountains and rivers.
The song stopped, the sound stopped, Nie Li opened his eyes, the cold light never disappeared, the audience was speechless, he could see Wang Huaili, Yang Surou and Zhang Junshi with their eyes closed, sad and happy for a while. There was only one person, with all kinds of sorrow in his eyes, looking at Nie Li, those eyes seemed to pass through endless years, leaving a line of tears, silent for a long time.
Seeing Nie Li looking at himself, Qin Xinyin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and then stretched out his hand and applauded himself, the other three woke up suddenly, and they were scared into a cold sweat, if someone wanted to kill the three of them just now, it would be a simple matter.
"The high disciples of Tianyin Valley are really extraordinary, admire and admire. Zhang Junshi clenched his fists and arched his hands, his words were full of praise and admiration, and Nie Li simply returned the salute and returned to his seat.
Xu is Zhang Junshi let down his guard, and the five of them talked back and forth, among them, Qin Xinyin and Nie Li rarely spoke, and after tea and dinner, although Yang Surou was in high spirits, she also proposed to go home.
Zhang Junshi and Wang Huaili said together that they wanted to send the two back to Yang's mansion, but Yang Surou refused, saying that it would be okay to have a junior brother with them. Wang Huaili smiled faintly, he knew that Nie Li liked Qin Xinyin, so he didn't worry much. Zhang Junshi knew that it would be rude to beg again, so he didn't say much.
Watching the three of them leave, the two of them talked very happily, Wang Huaili also saw that Zhang Junshi had a good impression of Qin Xinyin, although he also supported his good brother, but now he still needs Nie Li, he can't abandon Nie Li because of Zhang Junbao, and then he will fall short if he works hard for so long.
After all, compared to Nie Li, Zhang Junshi's status in Yang Surou's heart may be very high, but in Qin Xinyin's heart, I'm afraid it is not like this. And Yang Surou is very respectful to this senior sister, so it is imperative to have a good relationship with Qin Xinyin.
Nie Li didn't get into the carriage, just sat outside, and when he arrived at the Yang Mansion, Nie Li was about to get up and leave, but Yang Surou stopped Nie Li and invited him to sit in the Yang Mansion.
The carriage entered through the side door of the Yang Mansion, and Nie Li looked at the Yang Mansion, although it was a rich family, it did not have the luxury and wealth of the palace.
Yang Surou and Qin Xinyin live in the west room of the Yang Mansion, which is a specially vacated residence for Qin Xinyin, and few people usually come here except for a few people.
"Senior sister, Nie is sitting here with the two of you, and I will change my clothes in the house. Yang Surou said, letting Nie Li and Qin Xinyin sit in the small pavilion in the courtyard, and then ran away with a smile.
"Thank you Miss Qin for your generosity just now, and I am grateful. Nie Li found a topic at random, because silence is an embarrassing thing, but when he was alone with a girl, he was obviously stunned.
"If I hadn't come forward just now and faced Zhang Junshi's provocation, what would you have done. Qin Xinyin stared at Nie Li's eyes, she wanted to see a trace of other emotions in those calm and cold eyes.
"There is something to do, there is something to be done. Even if this is the case, knowing that he is invincible, when he draws his sword, death is enough. Although Nie Li was stared at by Qin Xinyin and was a little uncomfortable, his gaze did not dodge.
Qin Xinyin was stunned for a moment, those eyes were not only cold but burning battle intent, since he knew that there was a dead end, why were he so calm, those eyes had too many answers.
Just ask your heart why you are afraid of death, death is so delicious, there should be no regrets, and there are no regrets.
