Chapter 1: Conspiracy
At the beginning of the morning glow, a ray of sunlight shone out from the gap in the clouds, and the faint mist gradually dispersed like a wisp of light smoke.
The warm sun shines on the country road, and the dew drops on the weeds on both sides shine in the sun, and it is a good autumn.
At the entrance of the east street of Huayang City, there is an old archway, built with white sandstone, the carving is fine, the eaves are warped, the dragon leaks the window, the simple and expressive.
Sitting on it sat a little fat man of thirteen or fourteen years old, his feet hanging in the air, constantly swinging back and forth.
The little fat man's body was particularly strong, his dark eyes flashed with a faint gold, and he swept the pedestrians on the street, cleared his throat and said: "Outside! Sima Morning News is on sale, only two articles, only two articles." ”
"Yes! Folks, you heard it right! It's not two taels, it's not two dollars, it's just two money, two dollars can't marry a daughter-in-law, you can't find a junior, you can't even eat a bowl of noodles, but you can make all the uncles happy. After tea and dinner, when bragging, chatting with my sister, and entering the pit together, you can use it as a talking point, or even as a joke, to show your humor. ”
As the saying goes: "Smile, ten years less! Sorrowful, white-headed! Secrets in the countryside, interesting things in the city, everything, great value for money! Here are some dry goods for the villagers." ”
The little fat man paused for a moment and took a sip of water: "Widow Li from the next village is long and delicate. Since her husband's death, the lives of orphans and widows have become problems, and she has found the village chief of Xia Li and wants to join a five-guarantee household. But how could the old thief easily agree, the two thieves looked at Widow Li in confusion, and said to Widow Li in a deep voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll talk about it later." "Within a few days, Village Chief Li climbed onto the widow's bed, and then the villagers thought for themselves!"
The crowd roared.
"Fatty, how do you know so clearly, did you climb the roof and peek. ”
"Xiao Sima, call me next time you go!"
The face of a half-old dressed in gorgeous clothes under the archway turned green, stomped his feet, and scolded fiercely: "This dog thing, dare to look for a woman behind my back, see how I clean him up when I go back." ”
The little fat man was spitting and spitting, and when he was in high spirits, a handsome young man wearing coarse cloth clothes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and dark skin walked slowly in the distance, standing in front of the archway.
The young man slowly raised his head, with a hint of sophistication on his immature face, and shouted to the little fat man: "Sima Gang, why are you sitting on the archway of my house again, and come down in a slippery way, otherwise I will use a bamboo pole to explode your chrysanthemum." ”
Sima Gang smiled with a hippie smile, and immediately slid down with the bamboo pole next to him, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Qin Yun! Who are the two of us, why bother! Xuanyang Sect accepts disciples this month, do you know it, it is the kind of sect monk who often flies to the sky." ”
"What's so strange, I often see birdmen in the sky. Qin Yun smiled faintly, his face full of sarcasm.
"How can there be a birdman!" Sima Gang stuffed the rest of the newspaper into a cloth bag, and said seriously.
Qin Yun glanced at Sima Gang and shouted, "Aren't you just Mo! You climb so high every day, do you want to go to the sky? The day before yesterday, you peeked at other girls' baths, why did you let me carry the black pot." ”
Sima Gang smiled, hooked Qin Yun's shoulder with his right hand, and said unhurriedly: "Which of us is with whom, I don't think it's just you, it's so clear and multi-life." ”
Qin Yun's face was displeased, and his tone was extremely dissatisfied: "Phew, fatty, you are filthy and lustful, but don't pull me." ”
"Brother Qin dissipated his anger, first go to the Chen family's shop to sit for a meeting, and listen to me carefully!"
"Okay! Give you a chance! Hehe, remember not to be vain. Qin Yun's face was gloomy, and the "horn" of his fingers sounded.
In a moment, the two of them strolled to Chen's shop.
The area of the shop is not large, there are a few tables and stools, the store is elegant and chic, and there are many diners.
As soon as the two of them found a sunny place to sit down, the man came to the table and asked, "Morning!
Sima Gang leaned on the rattan chair, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wine jar sealed with paper, and said, "Little second brother, bring that Lafei to a jar, half a catty of beef, and a plate of vinegar-soaked peanuts." ”
Xiao Er wiped the table and shouted loudly, "Okay! Second master, please wait! ”
"It's a warm day, fat man, tell me!" Qin Yun squinted his eyes and looked at Sima Gang.
Sima Gang smiled, touched his nose and said, "The situation that day was more complicated, you listen to me and tell you slowly"
On that day, Sima Gang had nothing to do, wandering around the street, discovering news topics, and when he walked to the mouth of an alley, he saw a few young people sneaking in to see something.
He wanted to see what these bad boys were doing, so he walked over and glanced at it, and Sima Gang's soul was hooked.
Looking through the crack in the window, a sultry picture came into view, black as splashed hair, messy hanging to the fragrant shoulders, the bewitching perfect jade body leaned on the edge of the wooden basin, the muscles and bones were like ice jade, revealing a faint crimson. The droplets of water gradually slid down the bluestone floor along the creamy skin, and the room was filled with scorching steam, and the looming backs made the young people swallow their saliva continuously.
The incomparably fragrant scene, Sima Gang was unbearably hot to watch, and he seemed to have discovered something unintentionally, his brows were furrowed and he was contemplative, shaking his head from time to time.
"Quack!"
A crisp sound interrupted the silence outside the window, and the tiles piled up at the base of the wall were broken by someone. The occupants of the house noticed something strange and poured a basin of hot water out of the window. Everyone scattered in panic, and when Sima Gang was hiding from the hot water, the jade pendant hanging from his waist was accidentally hung up and left in nowhere.
This jade pendant is Qin Yun's belongings, Sima Gang has always wanted to play with it, and he borrowed it from Qin Yun after stalking for a long time, and promised to return it immediately after playing for a day.
Sima Gang recalled the scene just now, walked out of the street, touched his waist with his left hand, and found that the jade pendant was gone, he was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the alley. Follow the path to find, and come to the brick wall again, at this time the baffle on the brick wall has sealed the window, and the jade pendant has no trace to be found.
Sima Gang lowered his head apologetically, glanced at Qin Yun, and said in a low voice: "I haven't found the jade pendant you lent me for a long time, so I asked you to discuss!"
Qin Yun's eyes widened angrily when he heard this, and he glared at Sima Gang and was about to get angry.
I saw the guy come over with a jar of wine and food, and shouted: "Second master, the dishes are ready, please use them slowly! After finishing the food and drinks, he turned around and left.
"Brother Qin, the junior brother will fill it up for you first, and you will dissipate your anger. Sima Gang's face was guilty, and he didn't have the usual arrogant and funny look.
"Your ancestral jade pendant is engraved with a huge Qin character, if I go alone, people will definitely not give it. If you and I don't go together, if the people of Zhang's Mansion want to kill or chop, I, Sima Gang, will never make a noise. Sima Gang patted his chest, quite the courage of a strong man with a broken arm.
Qin Yun raised the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for the two of them, and said helplessly: "That's it! I'll go alone another day! That jade pendant is not a valuable object, just a thought left to me by my grandfather." ”
Then he sighed, his eyes were full of sadness, he slowly raised his head and looked at the sky for a long time: "My Qin family used to be the number one family within a radius of a hundred miles from Huayang City, but now things are wrong, and only the archway and the lost jade pendant are left." ”
"Brother Qin, don't be sad! Let the past pass away with the wind! Come, come, come, let's drink!"
Sima Gang poured Qin Yun a bowl of wine, frowned and said, "Zhang Li's cousin gives me a strange feeling, but I can't say how strange it is." ”
Qin Yun looked at Sima Gang indifferently and said lightly: "Are you talking about the woman who was peeked at by you the day before yesterday?
Sima Gang drank all the wine in the bowl, frowned and said: "I always feel that she is not as beautiful as a human being, but like a demon fox or something, you also know that my eyes are different from others, and I can see some things that others can't see." ”
"Demon Fox, you are serious!" Qin Yun's eyes widened, frowning thoughtfully, his heart was full of doubts, and the wine bowl in his hand gradually tilted, spilling a lot of wine in the bowl.
"I think my Qin family's foundation for hundreds of years has rapidly decayed in just a few years. At that time, I only heard my grandfather say that the Qin family had an unfilial son and lost the family business. At that time, I was young and didn't understand anything, but now I feel very strange to hear you say this. ”
"What's the matter, can Brother Qin tell me about it? ”
Qin Yun drank the remaining wine in the bowl in one gulp, touched the wine bowl and said, "Ten years ago, I was only four years old at that time."
