Chapter 41: Farewell
Qin Ping saw that Ling Quanfei's gaze kept shooting at the other table, and he didn't seem to see anything, as if he had passed through the air and through the wall, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Ling Gongzi?"
Ling Quanfei suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Brother Qin, I was a little distracted just now. ”
Qin Ping has a straightforward temperament, and when he saw Ling Quanfei, a well-respected hero in the rivers and lakes, he was inexhaustibly happy and happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's an honor to see Ling Gongzi today, come, I will salute you three more cups!"
Ling Quanfei couldn't help but secretly admire Qin Ping's amount of wine, most of the wine in the jar was drunk by Qin Ping, and unconsciously, only half a jar of wine was left in the two new jars, of course, Qin Ping drank the most. But seeing that Qin Pingping did not change his color, but the more he drank, the more energetic he became, even Ling Quanfei, who had been an alcoholic all his life, couldn't help but sweat secretly.
Feng Yu smiled: "Ling Gongzi, you don't know anything, it's not that my little brother is bragging to you, my eldest brother can really drink it." We Liaobei people have never been afraid of anyone in terms of the amount of alcohol. But do you know who we Liaobei people are most afraid of meeting at the wine table?"
Ling Quanfei smiled, this doesn't need to be guessed at all, "Brother Qin's amount of alcohol, the junior brother really admires it." ”
Qin Ping also smiled: "The ancients said that 'if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk', and the more I want to get drunk, the more energetic I am, especially when I see a hero like Ling Gongzi, how can I not have a good drink?"
The four of them talked, laughed, and drank, and after a while, the jar was empty. Hong Hanming wanted to call another jar of wine, but was stopped by Qin Ping, Qin Ping said: "Brother Hong, I look at this wine, I don't need to drink it anymore, we still have to hurry." Hong Hanming nodded.
Ling Quanfei said: "Could it be for the sake of Iron Hero." ”
Unexpectedly, at the mention of Tie Wusheng, there were tears in Qin Ping's eyes. Ling Quanfei couldn't help but be moved to tears when he saw that Qin Ping was so affectionate and righteous, and only said: "The relationship between the three brothers Qin, Feng, and Tie is stronger than steel and deeper than the sea. If the three of them have me to use, I will do my best. It's just that there is another thing to do at this time, and this matter is very important, and it is related to the life of one of my friends. So ......"
Hong Hanming said: "Ling Gongzi doesn't need to say much, we thank Ling Gongzi for his kindness, please rest assured, if my brothers are really in trouble, they will not pretend, and I hope that Ling Gongzi will help at that time." ”
Ling Quanfei said: "A word is a certainty!"
The four of them walked out of the tavern, and it was still bustling outside, as if it wouldn't be deserted even if the sky fell.
Hong, Qin, and Feng got on the horse, and Ling Quanfei said goodbye to the three of them and said, "Don't say goodbye." The three of them also said on the horse: "Don't leave it here!" Qin Ping added another sentence and said, "I found the third brother that day, and I am drinking with you!"
Ling Quanfei smiled and said, "Okay!" With that, the three of them turned their horses and ran away.
Men are always so straightforward, but there are indescribable feelings involved, and because of this, these men can face each other with swords and sit together and talk. Ling Quanfei turned around and left the front of the tavern, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and someone called: "Ling Gongzi!"
Ling Quanfei turned around and saw that it was Hong Hanming, who had just ridden away, and Ling Quanfei didn't seem surprised, as if he had expected it, he just smiled slightly and said, "Third son." ”
I saw Hong Hanming turn over and dismount, knelt on one knee and hugged his fist towards Ling Quanfei, Ling Quanfei was surprised, and hurriedly went to help him up, and said, "I can't stand the third son's courtesy." ”
Hong Hanming said: "I can afford it, I can afford it." I have to thank Ling Gongzi for his advice. ”
Ling Quanfei said with a smile: "Why did the third prince say this, when did he point you out?"
Hong Hanming said: "I know that Ling Gongzi is humble and low-key, but, but I still want to thank you." If it weren't for Ling Gongzi, how could I have understood how to use my strength subtly? Ling Gongzi, when I complete the task given to me by my father, I will definitely worship you as a teacher!"
Ling Quanfei was really surprised: "The third prince is extremely talented, can be literate and martial, how can I be your master? With the ability of the third son, he can achieve great things in the future, and the creation is also above me, the third prince must do more good deeds in the future, and do not be instigated by the treacherous villains in the rivers and lakes." Martial arts can not only cultivate the body, but also cultivate the heart, and I hope that the third son will take care of himself. ”
Hong Hanming nodded, bowed, and raised his head, Ling Quanfei was gone. Only then did he get on his horse and chase after the two brothers, Qin and Feng.
This town is called Fenghua Town, which is naturally beautiful, but in another place it is sparsely populated, a vast white land. Jingyun Villa, the flag is still the same flag, the pillar is still the same pillar, and the villa is still the same villa, but it is more desolate and sad than before.
An old man stood in front of the window, and the plum blossoms had fallen all over the ground. The old man had gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face became more and deeper. This person is Jingyun.
Let's ask, how many things in the world can make a person age in just ten days?
On the old face, there are a pair of vicissitudes of life, are there tears in the eyes, or have they dried up? No one can see through it, no one can guess through it. Even he himself can't see through himself.
"Knock knock" three times, the sound of the wooden door seemed to break the silence of the whole world.
Jingyun said, "Come in." "Not only the appearance, but also the voice is much older.
The person who came in was as strong as a mountain, and his hands were so big that it seemed that he could easily hold a person's head, and this person was Luo Wusheng.
Luo Wusheng is a person who has seen the changes in the owner of the Japanese character in recent years, and his heart can't help but feel a little painful, the owner of the village and he are like brothers, and who can put the brother's affairs out of the way. It's a pity that brothers are brothers after all, and they can't be confidants, and Luo Wusheng can't see through Jingyun's thoughts, so he can help him share some of his sorrows, and this kind of helplessness also bothers him day and night.
Luo Wusheng said: "Owner, everyone has already left, and I gave sixty taels to each person, which is enough for them to find a place to settle down." ”
It turned out that since Luo Wusheng brought Jing Lingling back to the village in Quxing Town that day, Jing Yun's heart was very painful, and the pain was so painful that he let his children be involved in all these things, the eldest son was dead, and there was only one daughter left, how could he want his daughter to be hurt again? He made a decision at the moment, he wanted to escape, to escape to a place where the group of people could not find it, so he sold the villa, and gave all the money in the villa to the servants and housekeepers in the village, so that they could make a living by themselves.
When these people got Jing Yun's money, they all cried bitterly, and some even threw away the silver and swore to follow Jing Yun forever, but they didn't understand Jing Yun's mood, let alone his situation. So let Luo Wusheng knock out those stubborn people and entrust them to other people, so that they can go together.
Now there are only Jingyun and his daughter left in the village, as well as Luo Wusheng.
Jingyun turned around and sat on the chair and said, "Why don't you leave?"
Luo Wusheng pretended to laugh and said, "Where am I going? Where can I go? I'm so big, others can't afford to support me, so I ...... I can only ......" The words could no longer be spoken, because he had already shed tears all over his face, and the words were stuck in his throat and choked.
Jing Yun sighed and said, "Good brother, I didn't give you any favors in this life, you have followed me for half your life, but I can't give you anything." ”
Luo Wusheng said: "I..... I don't want anything. All I want is to be with you forever. At this time, Luo Wusheng was like a child, and he spoke with a little child's stubborn temper, but every word was his true feelings. Luo Wusheng said again: "Not only me, but that kid in Mocheng will always be by your side." ”
Thinking of Mocheng, Jing Yun couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears that had already dried up came out at this time. Jingyun said: "That kid in Mocheng, I single-handedly harmed him. He is smart and sensible, and he is eager to learn, but I ...... I'm..."
Luo Wusheng said: "It's not you, it's the person named Qi Ying'er who killed him! ”
Jingyun shook his head and said, "It's not you, it's not him, it's me who pulled you in......" He couldn't speak anymore, and he was choked with endless grief. When both of them calmed down a little, Jing Yun said, "Wusheng, you really should go." ”
Luo Wusheng smiled, smiling so warmly, smiling so sincerely, "In the past, it was the path you chose, but now it is the path you chose, and I will walk the path I chose, what do you have to do with it? ”
Jingyun stood up, but the tears that flowed out at this time were tears of emotion, "I am a brother to you in this life, what more can I ask for?"
The two of them left Jing Yun's room, and Jing Yun asked, "Where is Lingling?"
Luo Wusheng said: "Miss, she is still cleaning up." ”
Jing Yun smiled: "It's a big girl, and she can dress up." ”
Luo Wusheng felt that he had not seen Jingyun's smile for a long time, and he had rarely seen him smile since that day.
It was a crisp voice coming from upstairs, "Daddy, Daddy." ”
With the sound of stepping on the stairs, a young woman came down. I saw that this woman was born white and beautiful, her eyes were like she could speak, and she was smart, who else could this person be if she wasn't Jing Lingling?
Jing Lingling jumped in front of Jing Yun, but Jing Yun was taken aback and said, "You, Lingling, why are you dressed like this?"
I saw Jing Lingling wearing an ordinary cotton and linen clothes, the color was not gorgeous, she looked like a little girl doll in the village, and her face was not as beautiful as in the past, but it seemed that this girl had a simple and kind beauty.
Jing Lingling smiled: "Dad, I'm good-looking." ”
Jingyun said: "It's good-looking, it's good-looking, it's just, what about your original clothes?"
Jing Lingling took Jing Yun's arm and said, "Dad, are you confused, we are running away now, how can you attract people's attention? Wear some expensive clothes, and not many people will look at you when you walk on the street." ”
Jingyun and Luo Wusheng both said yes again and again, only to hear Luo Wusheng say: "Yes, yes, but now where are we going to find these clothes." ”
Jing Yun wasn't in a hurry, just smiled: "Don't worry, look at this girl's smug appearance, Bacheng has already had an idea." ”
Jing Lingling shook off Jing Yun's arm, pursed her mouth, and said, "Hmph, daddy actually calls someone else's girl, it's really ugly." ”
Jing Yun smiled again: "It's not a girl, it's not a girl, it's a good girl, a good girl." ”
Jing Lingling's eyes narrowed again, and said with a smile: "It's better for Daddy, I have already asked them to leave a few clothes for the two of you." I'll bring it to you, and I'll put it on quickly. Then she went upstairs again, dropped her two burdens, and said, "Put them on quickly." ”
After the two of them changed into these clothes, they changed a lot. Na Jingyun and the white brocade clothes, now wearing blue cotton and linen shirts, like an old man farming, and Na Luo Wusheng, I am afraid that the peasant family is looking forward to having such a strong labor force at home, but it is necessary to buy cattle. When Jing Lingling saw the two of them, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is going to be on the street, and no one can recognize us." Jing Yun and Luo Wusheng looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing, laughing so relaxed.
It has never snowed today, but this Jingyun Villa is bleak, and the snow on the vast land has not melted much, and there are three lines of footprints above the snow.
The flag fluttered in the air, Jing Yun glanced at it, and sighed unconsciously. Luo Wusheng said: "Do you want to take off the flag?"
Jingyun said: "What are you doing picking it? I don't even want the whole villa, what do you want this flag to do?" Haha, from now on, there is only Jingyun, there is no villa. ”
Jing Yun walked in front like this and didn't look back, Luo Wusheng and Jing Lingling followed behind, and they didn't look back. Jing Yun looked up at the blue-gray sky, and he found that this sky was like a transparent cover, covering the world, and he couldn't escape from this cover if he escaped now. Helplessness came back to his heart, and he muttered: "It's a pity that my daughter, you have to run around with this useless father of mine." He said this, but his eyes were not like this, it was a kind of unconvinced look, a kind of eyes that dared to fight the sky, he was saying: "I will fight to the end." This was what he wanted to say to himself, but he didn't say it, and he didn't need to say it, because all his power came from his daughter, the lovely fairy-like Jing Lingling.
"Yo, uncle, I'm a woman in my thirties, and you praise me for looking like a fairy. "With such a coquettish voice, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a second one in the world. This is the Cuixiang Building in Fenghua Town, and the ecstatic voice in this is the old bustard of the Cuixiang Building, the Xiangyu.
Lian Xiangyu's voice was charming, and she didn't know how many men's souls could be hooked when she came out, but it was a pity that these men could only look at this rose with their eyes.
At this moment another man strode in, his body dashing, but his hair was scattered, but there was still a group of women surrounding him, escorting him in front of him. Even Lian Xiangyu walked up to the man and gently put his jade hand on the man's shoulders, which was really envious of others. Among other men, there are naturally many rich children from well-off families, and there are many suave talents in the rivers and lakes, and this man is only average in appearance, and his clothes are sloppy. Neither of them cared about the woman who was drinking beside them, they just stared at the man.
Even if these men want to break their heads, they can't think of a reason. A man, who looks like a young master and brother, has a black mole on the tip of his left eyebrow, which is not big or small, and he can just distinguish it, but he is actually angry and drinks stuffy wine. The woman who accompanied the wine next to her, although she was not a stunning beauty, was still a little beautiful in the end, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Fang Gongzi? Why is this wine getting more and more bitter the more you drink?"
This son's brother's name is Fang Yunfei, he is not famous himself, he just eats and drinks in the rivers and lakes by relying on his family. Fang Fugui, the owner of the Fang family, is a wealthy money village giant in the Jiangnan area, and there are thirty-five or six money houses under him, and there are no more than ten mansions. Fang Fugui had a wife and six concubines, but gave birth to seven daughters, only the fifth wife gave birth to a son, that is Fang Yunfei. It is not easy for Fang Fugui to have a son, and he loves him even more, and Fang Yunfei has a group of sisters who love her since she was a child, and she has studied women even more. At the age of sixteen, he had a relationship with the personal maid at home, Fang Fugui not only did not punish him, but punished the maid to death, but Fang Yunfei didn't care, he only remembered the pleasure of the man and woman when they copulated, and he didn't care about everything else.
After that, he became more and more indulgent, often going out to look for flowers and willows, and when one day he happened to pass by Fenghua Town, he felt that he had found paradise, and he stayed here for more than a year and never returned home. In the past year, this merry boy has also become famous in this Fenghua Town, there are only women he can't see, and there are no women he can't prostitute.
But even if he arrives at this Cuixiang Building, he can't eat the dish of Lianxiangyu, if he wants to say that others are looking at it, he can smell it, but he can't touch it. This woman is beautiful and ruthless, he used to want the overlord to bow hard, and the words in the crotch of his pants were almost not saved, and from then on, he only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to play profane.
But people's hearts are like this, the more you can't get it, the more you can't let it go, the more you want to get it, he doesn't want to touch the jade hand of the merciful jade all the time, then he has no regrets when he dies. But people are greedy, and when they get a little more, they want a little more, just like a bottomless pit. Naturally, he couldn't forget this pity in his heart, he looked at the woman he coveted but was so good to other men, of course, the fire of jealousy was in his chest, but this fire, he couldn't put it out with wine, and the fire would only burn more and more.
Fang Yunfei suddenly felt that all the women in the world were boring, and no one could compare to Pian Xiangyu. And seeing that Lian Xiangyu caressed and held that man's arm to other men, he hated him so much.
Lian Xiangyu took the man's arm and walked into the depths of the small building, dispersing the women who were originally around, "What should I do, what are you doing?" Then he turned to the man and said, "Ling Gongzi, I really haven't seen you for a few days, let's go upstairs to talk about the old relationship." That posture, that tone, that look, none of the other men couldn't help but drool, and they all guessed what this man was about, and even Cuixianglou's Lianxiangyu had to pester him. Of course, this person is Ling Quanfei, others are just envious, but they don't know that this is a person with a face in the rivers and lakes.
Lian Xiangyu took his arm and went up to the second-floor room, Ling Quanfei went in, and then Lian Xiangyu turned around and closed the door, and suddenly saw Fang Yunfei in front of the table downstairs looking at her, in fact, since Ling Quanfei came in, his eyes have never left Lian Xiangyu. Lian Xiangyu saw that she didn't see it, and shouted to the women downstairs with a smile: "Girls, you can serve the good masters!" After that, she closed the door, and the women downstairs also responded coquettishly, and then coaxed the men on their tables. The men also craned their necks to drink the wine that the woman had raised, but Fang Yunfei stared at the door intently, ignoring the woman beside him.
Ling Quanfei sat at the small table in the room, while Lian Xiangyu twisted her waist and sat on the edge of the bed, her legs were crossed, her wealth was really the best in the world, and Lian Xiangyu said, "What's the matter with coming today?"
Ling Quanfei said with a smile: "I came here today, first, to see how Luo'er is, and second, to bother you to inquire about some things." ”
Lian Xiangyu snorted and said, "I really don't know what kind ......of man you are, don't other men come to this place for fun?"
Ling Quanfei asked, "How am I?"
Lian Xiangyu said: "Don't say that you came here to ask for a girl, you haven't drunk a sip of wine when you come to me." ”
Ling Quanfei smiled and said nothing.
Lian Xiangyu suddenly looked a little angry: "Even the wine I brought you has never touched a drop in your mouth." ”
Ling Quanfei said: "That's because I've drunk alcohol before, so I don't want to drink anymore." ”
You just don't want to drink my wine, after all, you don't dislike me?"
Ling Quanfei didn't speak, because she understood women, and arguing with women was the most unwise thing in the world.
Lian Xiangyu saw that his face was expressionless, unmoved, and said angrily: "All men in the world like me, but you don't feel anything about me? ”
Ling Quanfei said: "Oh, I don't like to lick other people's feet. ”
Lian Xiangyu stood up angrily, and even her towering chest fell together, and said, "You, don't you believe it?"
Ling Quanfei still didn't speak.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Okay, if you don't believe it, I'll let you take a good look!" After speaking, she walked to the door in two or three days, stopped when she touched the door with both hands, and then quietly turned her head to look at Ling Quanfei, who still didn't care.
Who knew that Lian Xiangyu turned around, snorted, and said, "Ling Quanfei, Ling Quanfei, I don't know what I like about you, probably because I like you and the stinky men downstairs." She walked over to the table, sat down slowly, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to inquire about?"
Ling Quanfei said: "Actually, it's not that difficult, it's just faster to inquire from you......"
Before Ling Quanfei finished speaking, the knock on the door of the wine glass was interrupted, and the people outside the door knocked harder and harder, shouting Lianxiangyu while knocking. Lian Xiangyu and Ling Quanfei glanced at each other, as if they were a little proud, and said, "Hey, I don't know which stinky man it is, you wait for me to send him away first." Lian Xiangyu observed Ling Quanfei's expression carefully, hoping to see some changes, but Ling Quanfei admired the paintings hanging on his wall.
The painting shows a young woman sitting in a small pavilion looking down at the small pond outside the pavilion, and there are many ripples on the water surface because it is raining. The woman's face was sad, as if she was thinking about something, something, or someone.
Lian Xiangyu felt that someone had been beaten in her heart, and all the anger in her stomach was sprinkled on the man outside the door.
