Above the water

The boat swayed gently, and the sunset shone obliquely. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Autumn water is a long day.

The autumn wind came, and Tao Jing and Lu Bei took the bow of the ship and stood against the wind.

Tao Jing's eyebrows still have a look of joy that can not be concealed.

Seeing Lu Bei standing on the bow of the ship with his sword, his eyes were far away and his expression was calm.

He was puzzled: "Brother Lu, I haven't asked you yet, why did I reject Master Xie's kindness so easily." ”

Lu Bei withdrew his gaze looking at the Peach Blossom Spring, turned his face, and smiled slightly.

Said slowly: "Brother Tao doesn't have to feel sorry for me, although the decision was made in an instant, in fact, I have weighed it again and again in my heart." By the way, I haven't congratulated Brother Tao yet. ”

Tao Jing sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know how to explain to my mother after I go home." ”

Lu Bei smiled and said, "It's best to tell you directly, I think Ling Tang can understand Brother Tao's choice." ”

Tao Jing thought for a moment, sighed and said, "That's all there is to it." ”

At this point, both of them were silent.

Only the faint flowing river is whispering in the ears.

......

The night was hazy.

Tao at the door of the house.

Under the lights, seven plum trees, in the cold night, stand silently.

Tao Jing's cheeks were slightly drunk, and he stood on the steps of the door, with a faint smell of wine on his body.

The tone was sincere and grateful: "Brother Lu, thank you for helping me persuade my mother." ”

Lu Bei smiled faintly and said in a pause: "Brother Tao, in fact, what you really want to thank is precisely Ling Tang. ”

Tao Jing was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu, what you said is good." ”

At this point, Lu Bei arched his hand and said, "Brother Tao, stay and stay." ”

Tao Jing nodded, arched his hand and said, "Then Brother Lu be careful on the road." ”

After the two said goodbye, Lu Bei turned around and left.

The moon rises tomorrow, and the clear light shines.

On the way back to the inn, Lu Bei thought of the scene at the Tao family, and he still felt funny at this time.

Hearing that Tao Jing was going to cultivate in the mountains and forests, Tao Mu was really furious.

At that time, he was holding a feather duster and chasing Tao Jing everywhere to fight.

If it weren't for Tao Jing's repeated explanations, the practice of marriage is not taboo, and Lu Bei tried his best to persuade him.

Tao Mu is afraid that she will cry and wipe her tears, looking for death and life.

However, even so, Tao Mu also complained a lot. Even in the near future, he will first find a family affair for Tao Jing, for fear that the Tao family's incense will be cut off.

It made Tao Jing smile bitterly, but he didn't dare to refuse again.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei smiled silently.

The cold wind hit, smelling the smell of wine in his body, Lu Bei shook his head, and then didn't think about it anymore, and strode towards the inn.

The moonlight fell silently.

Lu Bei traveled for about half an hour, turning an alley in the south of the city.

The alley was narrow, and the light dimmed.

At this time, a figure suddenly rushed over recklessly, and Lu Bei subconsciously raised his right arm and pushed the person away.

Touch......

He flew upside down three feet and sat on the ground. Grabbing a bag of medicine in one hand and covering his ankle with the other, he grunted in pain.

Lu Bei's expression was clear, and his drunken eyes were shining.

took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Lu Bei's eyesight was excellent, and at this time, looking through the faint moonlight, he was shocked to find that this person was a black-faced young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The man was dressed in coarse linen, his face was pale, and he hugged his ankles and hummed in anguish.

This man, he has an impression.

It was the woodcutter I saw yesterday, who seemed to be called Bangs.

Bangs only feels that he has been extremely unlucky recently, and he can bump into people even if he walks at night.

And he rushed over by himself, but was knocked into the air by someone.

Looking up, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing with a sword in his hand under the moonlight, looking at him with a concerned expression.

Liu Hai gasped in pain and said to himself: "It's okay, it's just that my ankle was twisted." ”

Lu Bei stepped forward to help him and suggested: "Seeing that your injuries are not light, I will send you to find a Lang Zhong to take a look." ”

Liu Hai waved his hand and politely refused: "It's okay, son, you can go first." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, but he didn't take two steps, but his brows were furrowed in pain, and his face became even paler.

Lu Beiqing coughed and said in a deep voice: "This brother, don't be strong." Or I'll help you back. If you leave the root of the disease, you are not in the bottom line. ”

As he spoke, he didn't care about the refusal of the bangs, and went straight to support the bangs.

This time, perhaps it was Lu Bei's words that played a role, and Liu Hai did not refuse again.

With the guidance of Liu Hai, Lu Bei sent him to a dilapidated farmhouse courtyard at the mouth of the alley in the south of the city.

With a squeak, the courtyard door opened.

There was an old cough in the room, and then an old woman asked in a low voice, "Is Xiaohai back?" ”

Liu Hai hurriedly said loudly: "Mother, it's me." I've got you some medicine and I'm back. ”

Lu Bei sat down on a chair in a thatched hut with bangs.

The flint was lit and the oil lamps were lit.

Under the lamp, the yellow light spread all over the room.

Lu Bei looked around and found that Liu Hai's house was really poor, and among the three thatched houses, there were few valuable furnishings, which could be said to be a family with four walls.

At this moment, an old woman came out of the inner room tremblingly, holding a long bamboo stick in her hand.

His face was wrinkled, his hair was silver, his eyes were blank, and he turned out to be a blind man.

"Mother, why did you come out. The wind chill is not good yet, if you see the wind again and get cold, how about it? ”

Bangs looked eager. As he spoke, he got up and went to meet him.

But before he could move, he just sighed, and he couldn't sit on the chair in a cold sweat.

"Xiaohai, what's wrong with you, don't scare your mother. ”

The old woman heard that the voice was wrong, and asked hurriedly.

Lu Bei didn't feel good, but said with relief: "Old man, I collided with Liu Hai at the entrance of the alley, which injured him, and I really didn't want to go." ”

Liu Hai's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Mother, it's not about this son's business, I complain that I have a lot of things on my mind today, and my mind doesn't belong."

bumped into this son, and his ankle twisted, and it was not a major injury. ”

After hearing this, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still rebuked Liu Hai and said: "Xiaohai, why are you so careless, you wait, go and get you bone-setting medicine and wine for your mother." ”

Saying that, the old woman just went to the inner room to get the bone-setting medicine wine.

Liu Hai saw that Lu Bei was still in place at this time, and said with a smile: "This son, don't worry. This kind of injury, a certain chopping wood in the mountains, is already a common thing. ”

Seeing that Lu Bei's expression was a little fixed, he said again: "Childe, it's not early, you better go back early." ”

Lu Bei groaned for a long time, and took out five taels of silver from his arms. said apologetically: "In Xialubei, I inadvertently injured Brother Liu just now. You should first collect this money and buy some supplements to heal your wounds. ”

Liu Hai's eyes froze, but he still refused.

But Lu Bei insisted on putting the silver on the table and arched his hand: "It's getting late tonight." Tomorrow, I'll come to see Brother Liu again. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Bangs rolled down his throat a little, and finally accepted the silver.
