Chapter 5 The Forty-third Chapter, Birthday (Middle) Quyuan Wind Lotus

The autumn glow shines at night, the water on the shore of the West Lake is red, the west wind is whisking, blowing thousands of lotus flowers, and the lush sycamores are sparse and yellow.

Yue Lang was seriously injured, in the city light work shuttle, see the city defense is like a street, the streets are congested, there are a lot of noisy, and the Buddhist temples that have always opened the door to accept wealth are all closed as if no one is there, but look at the door of Zhao Tuan's mansion is closed, the new grass hut outside the door stretches for several miles, hundreds of thousands of victims, but there is no end, it can be seen that the people are in rags, poor and difficult, think of the people who have fled from the floods in Henan, the periphery of the blue and white Zhaozi write Huimin Pharmacy, the doctors are busy diagnosis and treatment; 。

Seeing this scene, Yue Lang said that his heart was a plague, so he hurriedly ripped off his clothes, tied them on his face, and fell under the wind under his feet. Yue Lang mixed into the morgue, opened the cover among the many corpses, looked at the corpse, and suddenly saw that the deceased was a wonderful girl, no more than twenty-eight years old, born Chu Chu moving, jade, delicate body, face like hibiscus, I couldn't help but pity. But the girl had blood in her mouth, flowing through seven holes, and her body was covered with a dark bean rash the size of a soybean, dense and dense, and very terrifying. Yue Lang hurriedly covered the corpse and strode out, but he saw in the distance, Ma Yu, Wang Chuyi and several other Quanzhen Dao masters were casting spells, that Yu Yunwen and dozens of doctors boiled medicine together, and sent the decoction with Fu Shui and the patient, Lu You wrote on the side, Zhao Ruyu, Yang Wanli, and Fan Chengda also sent medicine with their entourage, and even Zhao Tuan, the Duke of Jianguo, also came to the scene to make a decoction for the victims.

Yu Yunwen sighed and said: "Eh, Daoist Hao's smallpox epidemic is serious this time, and I haven't seen Song Nandu, thanks to the help of Daoist Quanzhen, otherwise Lin'an will be in crisis!"

Hao Datong has the strongest internal strength among the seven sons of Quanzhen, with a wide body, a face like a tiger, two hairs mixed, and a white head in his prime. Hurriedly replied: "It is my Taoist duty to hang a pot to help the world! Duke Yu has been loyal and righteous recently, and I admire him very much for caring for the people, and I dare not ask for thanks!"

Fan Chengdao, a member of the Ministry of Rites with a white face and a beard, said: "Lord Yu and Brother Lu have been working hard day after day, the real number is respectable, Lord Hu Quan has fallen ill for the matter of mixing with the Jin people among the refugees, let me and Lord Yang send some medicine today." It can just last a little longer. ”

Yang Wanli said: "These days, the people from the north don't believe in the doctors of the Huimin Pharmacy, but they want to believe in what monks chant the scriptures, and now these monks lock the temple door, thanks to the guidance of the Quanzhen Taoist Chief, put it in the decoction before they are willing to take it!"

Lu You wrote an official document on the side: "Hu Lu educates, fools the people, if we are to educate again, it is really difficult!"

Yu Yunwen said: "Hey... And it's not just a difficulty, the people of the Central Plains feel the teachings of the ancestors for a long time, and the natural people are enlightened for thousands of years, and now Hu Lu has invaded China for more than 30 years, cutting off the education and instilling barbarians, and the work of a thousand years has been reduced to a waste, and when the religion is re-taught, there are nonsense and heart-to-heart, and the obstruction of teaching is very great, and the homeland is to be recollected to be cultured, and I don't know how many generations it will be!"

Yue Lang heard it around him but was silent, pondering Yu Yunwen's words in his heart, and seeing that there were countless victims, although his body was cured, his heart disease was incurable, and he was stunned. immediately remembered that although Zha Yiqing and him went to Jindi back then, it was also a thousand miles of barren bones, and the weeds were smoking. The disease of smallpox has also been encountered, and several villages in Jinjing have died without a trace. When Cha Yiqing saw the plague, he went into the cowshed to lead a scalper with a wound, punctured the tumor to take its juice, and pierced it into the shoulder with a needle, Yue Lang and Cha Yiqing were fortunate to be unstained. Yue Lang knew that he wanted to take the mask, so he wanted to change it into Yue Zhaoming's appearance, but he was suddenly shocked and found that the mask had been taken away by Xiang Si, and he was so worried that he flew away to Xiang Si's invitation.

Suddenly, I came to the scenery of the West Lake, but I saw that:

The west wind blows the fragrance of wine, and the boundless Han is drunk with autumn mangs.

The towers and mountains are flying yellow cranes, and the beautiful and falling clouds are long.

The Quyuan is the courtyard of wine koji, and the Lin'an wine comes from this, and the aroma of the wine flutters with the wind for several miles, and even the emperor's house is quite fond of it. Yue Lang jumped and floated, falling in the pavilion in the center of the lake like a feather, but looking at the remnant sun and red glow, slowly falling, the lake waves surged, and the lotus leaf swaying scene was more like what Bai Juyi said in the poem:

A remnant sun spreads in the water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red.

Pity the third night of the first month of September, the dew is like a real pearl and the moon is like a bow.

Listening to a burst of daughter's singing from afar, the sound is ethereal and delicate, like a jade chime hitting the water, and the tender veins are more like Gui Yi swinging clear waves, and I can hear the song "Water Dragon Yin"

The twilight clouds fly all over the West Lake, and the lotus boat is beautiful. The fishermen sing through, the mountains are beautiful, and there are several pairs of wild goose books. The dangerous pillar mourns, the glamorous song resounds, and the clouds linger in the water. Sigh the smoke and waves are the same, the country has not changed, looking back empty, in the west wind.

Swinging the oar is as sorrowful as promised, waking up Zhu Yan and letting Shaoguang pass away. The flat boat rides the waves, the heart waves return, and the hibiscus in turn. The Hanyuan Tower, looking into the clouds, envy his wife Zhang Yi. Indulge in dreams and memories, die early like me, and don't worry about it.

Yue Lang listened and led each other, among the layers of lotus flowers on the lake, Xiangsi was dressed in a thin shirt, supporting a bamboo raft, the water birds were gathering, the crimson afterglow, and the girl's smile gave birth to infinite charm.

"......" Xiang Si glanced at Yue Lang, did not speak, his face was not at all, he put the long sword aside, opened the wooden box brought to him, and placed the dishes on the stone table one by one.

Yue Lang hurriedly said: "Sisi, you can see the situation of the victims on the way here!"

“...... Hmm......" Xiangsi replied coldly.

Yue Lang immediately grabbed Xiang Si's wrist and was about to leave: "You are weak and can't stand the epidemic, go to the cowshed with me, and I will plant cowpox with you!"

Xiang Si pushed away Yue Lang's heart, and said, "Why should Yue Daxia be anxious, I won't live long after all, and I won't miss this time." ”

Yue Lang: ...... Sisi, I'm sorry I shouldn't have lied to you!

Xiang Si said: "Hmph, don't dare to bother the hero to apologize! If you have the heart, eat the meal! lest you be seriously injured and die of weakness and starvation!" handed him the dishes and chopsticks. Yue Lang nodded and sat back in his seat, taking a big bite to eat.

Xiang Si's expression was cold, but his eyebrows were deep, and he naturally revealed all kinds of tenderness without modification, and with a soft sigh, a burst of fragrant wind blew into Yue Lang's ears. Yue Lang saw her stop her chopsticks, and when he looked up, he saw tears flowing from Xiang Si's eyes.

Yue Lang picked up a piece of red maple from the water, and said slowly, "During the reign of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the palace maid Han Cuiping was quite literate, but the palace lock the spring, the love was difficult to send, the poem was in the red leaves, and the flowing water was sent; Thank you for the red leaves, so that you can go to the world. The talented man sighed for a while, and inscribed a poem on it: I once heard that the leaf was inscribed with red resentment, and the poem on the leaf was sent to A. The red leaves are collected, and there is no news; after a few years of Yu You wandering around the sunset and thinking of the person who wrote the poem, and then married a palace maid by a friend, a few years after marriage, the wife actually found herself in the box in the red leaves in the old days of the inscription of the poem, and told Yu You, You couldn't help but be stunned, only to know that the person who married, is the palace maid Han Cuiping who wrote the red leaf poems. ”

Xiang Si sighed and looked at it from afar: "Red leaves are a good story in the world, and everyone in the world envies it, but what do you want to say?"

Yue Lang said: "Everything has to start from the major events in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, when my father Yue Fei led his troops in Zhuxian Town to win more than a few gold soldiers, the whole country of the Jin people was shaken, at that time the soldiers were only more than 40 miles away from Kaifeng City, and the old capital was in front of them! How do you think that Qin Hui's subordinates are capable people and many are the top masters, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes are fighting with them in Stone City, and they are actually killed and wounded, but the heroes of the rivers and lakes are resolutely generous and finally stopped the eleven gold medals sent to the front line, but after all, Qin Hui's subordinates have the support of the Shaolin Temple of Wulin Taidou, and after killing six heroes such as Hengshan Thunderbolt Palm Bai Qingfeng and Feiyan Pavilion Guo Yan Heroine, they finally sent the twelfth gold medal to their father's army...."

Xiang Si muttered: "I also heard the name of Uncle Guo Yan in the days of Feiyan Pavilion, and I thought that I was also a peerless beauty at the beginning, but unfortunately! I didn't expect Uncle Yue's ten-year Northern Expedition to be ruined like this..."

Yue Lang sighed and said, "Hey... The later events must be known to the whole world, the traitor Qin Hui summoned his henchmen to frame his father, and the emperor sent his father to prison! Then there was the one who stabbed his father to death with poisonous wine in the Fengbo Pavilion on the charge of 'trumped-up', and the Qin thief used the army to slaughter my father-in-law's family. Uncle Cha said that Uncle Yuehai risked his life to rescue me from the chaos in the back army, and I happened to be sent to the emperor, and the emperor was moved by compassion and spared me! I was carried to your house by Uncle Cha in this way, at that time, Uncle Cha's calligraphy and calligraphy made the emperor Zhao Gou intoxicated, and my aunt was the beauty of the country and the city. ”

Xiang Si said: "Mother... Do I look very similar to her? What kind of person is she? I've never seen her, and I don't know if I cry or laugh when I see her, but can you treat me well..."

Yue Lang's heart fluttered and he said: "You are very similar to your aunt, but you are more beautiful! I think that the woman in Lin'an Cheng back then could be two points similar to her aunt, she was already a stunning beauty, and even the emperor's favorite concubine could not be compared, you have seven points like her, and the remaining three points are better than her..."

Xiang Si held his mouth slightly and said slowly: "That, then then Lak!"

Yue Lang said: "I was still young at the time, I don't remember much, I only know that she is a very gentle person! It should be like this, Uncle Cha in order to avoid the eyes of the court, quit the palace and concentrate on calligraphy and painting, so he lived by the West Lake, and later the emperor remembered your father and wife, so he built a house on the side of the Tai Academy for your family to live! And the thousand-year-old Shenmu Xinyi Tree was also divided into the courtyard of your house, and I was also sent by my uncle to study in the Tai Academy across the wall from your house. In the next few years, Uncle Cha and Aunt Cha treated me like a parent-child and handed over the flying dragon to explore the clouds and throw the Qiankun to me, I remembered things earlier when I was a child and didn't like to associate with the little sons of those rich and noble families, so I practiced these two martial arts when I was bored, and then a snowy night, Lin'an City blew a very sad wind... Uncle sat on the edge of my aunt's bed with a small baby in his arms....."

"Mother... My mother's son was already weak, and she didn't want her life to give birth to me..."Xiangsi's tears fell: "I'm really useless, I can't do anything!"

Yue Lang said: "Life and death are fate, this is your mother's choice! You know that it is not easy for you to live, don't despise your life in the future!"

Xiang Si was furious and said: "Life! How can my life be despised by myself! Lin Sheng, Yue Zhaoming, Yue Lang! How should I call you, if it weren't for the fact that you are Uncle Yue's son! I should really kill you with a sword!"

"If you kill me, I have nothing to say..."Yue Lang said.

"You!" Xiang Si didn't say anything else, he pulled out his long sword and stabbed it directly at Yue Lang's chest, with a poof, blood gushed out, Yue Lang looked at her motionlessly in a daze, Xiang Si was shocked and lost his long sword and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said in a panic: "You... You... Forest... Yue Lang, why don't you hide!"

"This sword is what I deserve, silly girl, if you have no intention of killing me, I will also die!" Yue Lang stroked her head and said slowly: "Five years ago, Qin Hui and his henchmen wanted... cough cough cough, vainly trying to mobilize the Huaixi military road defense line to lead the Jin soldiers to attack, so as to seek huge profits from the Jin people on the grounds of our army's defeat and paying tribute!"

"Qin Hui is really a big villain! It is really shameless to use the blood of the people to feed himself and foreigners, and to betray the country for profit! As everyone knows, if China is really ruined, the people will not be like two-legged sheep in China!"

Yue Lang said: "Qin thieves are shameless, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! Although Ling Zun is idle at home, he also learned of this incident and discussed with the upright officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, but Qin Hui is so powerful that Qin Hui's power is monstrous! There is little response, so Ling Zun resolutely goes up to impeach Qin Hui! The emperor loves Qin Hui, so he does not pursue it, and although Qin Hui's plan does not work, but if he offends Qin Hui, Uncle Cha will naturally run into trouble! Sure enough, not long after, the emperor issued a decree ordering Uncle Cha to send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom!"

Xiang Si said: "I know all this, but why do you want to betray my father at the moment of life and death? Are you really greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Yue Lang coughed several times and said: "That's not the case! Back then, Qin Hui wanted to deal with Uncle Cha, so he wanted to put someone around him, but Uncle Cha loved his aunt all his life, and no one in the world could match his aunt's appearance at that time, so the beauty plan was ineffective! And Uncle Cha's calligraphy and painting can be worth a thousand gold, and naturally he doesn't love money, the only loophole is me, a student who goes to his house every day to seek advice! So he hit my mind on me, promising to give me a hundred taels of gold after the matter is completed, and I can have an official position! I told Uncle Cha about this, and Uncle Cha already had a plan in his heart, and he and I planned to let me pretend to be bought by Qin Hui and actually enter the Qin Mansion..."
