Chapter 19: The Covenant of Cam Ranh
There are four major things to be proud of in life: meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, meeting nectar after a long drought, spending candles in the cave room, and being nominated for the gold list. However, in the middle of the night, I could only carry a bucket of cold water and pour it on my head bare-chested.
Because, it's a little hot.
Hot.
"Brother Duan, you are a good person, but I just want to serve my family and country, if the country does not exist, why should I be at home. But I have no intention of getting married, I'm sorry for deceiving you, I'm sorry. Zhao Yun held my thrush's hand and said quietly.
In the bronze mirror, the two of us are dressed in red, and the rouge is not cold.
"Then why don't you marry me?" I almost shouted.
"I don't know if I can come back, my parents are old, I'm afraid it's rare to see them in this life. Therefore, Yun had to make this decision and fulfill the wish of the second elder. It's just, I'm so sorry for you!"
"You...... It's too much!"
Silent. At this time, I saw Zhao Yun stand up, lightly relieve Luo Shang, and said, "Brother Duan, I will give you my body tonight, and we will not owe each other from now on." β
"I ......" I froze for a moment.
"Kiss me. She muttered.
I felt a fiery lip stick to me, intertwined with me......
However, I pushed her away anyway and almost ran out of the house. The starry light was gentle that night, but I couldn't possess her like thisβa woman who didn't love me.
The cold well water made me wake up suddenly: I, a little Taoist priest, originally went down the mountain just to experience love and hatred. Master, is this what you really mean?
The chai door opened lightly, and Zhao Yun walked out. Standing with me, she will always be so unruly and ruthless.
"Out of this Zhao Village, the matter of marriage will never be mentioned again. "I'm not interested.
"Brother Duan, if you don't dislike it, Zhao Yun is willing to marry you as a brother and sister. From now on, we will wander the rivers and lakes together and serve the court, I don't know what you think?" Zhao Yundao. She called me big brother, obviously with a decision.
"Okay, I, Duan Dahu, will become brother and sister with Zhao Yun today. β
At that moment, the two of us knelt down and said in unison: "Duan Dahu and Zhao Yun are willing to become brothers and sisters, and from then on they will live and die together, and share blessings and misfortunes. If there is a disobedience, the arrow will pierce the body, and it will not be good to die. β
Since then, I am the eldest brother and Zhao Yun is the younger sister.
After the bow, I suddenly felt relaxed, this is a farce, why should I take it seriously. At that moment, Zhao Yun and I took the wine and drank it in front of the bright moon in the sky - there is always a taste in life, the entrance is violent, and it burns the heart and bones, but the aftertaste is extremely mellow.
Stayed in Zhao Village for a few more days, and on this day, the patriarch suddenly came and found Father Yun: "Now the Yellow Turban is rampant against thieves, and the alien forces in western Liaoning are taking advantage of the fire to rob, although General Gongsun Chan resisted bravely, but the enemy is outnumbered, and it is a two-sided attack, and the northern states and counties are about to fall into the hands of thieves." Now we can only organize the township to protect ourselves from being violated by thieves. β
Father Yun said: "It is the duty of the husband to protect the family and defend the country, although I am old, I can still go into battle to kill the enemy." β
I listened to the ridiculousness of listening: In these years, the idea of loyalty and patriotism is so rampant, how to kill the enemy when the old man goes to the battlefield?
"Dad, don't you need to go into battle to kill the enemy, just let your daughter go into battle. "Zhao Yun went out hunting and just came back.
"But you're a daughter?" the patriarch doubted.
"Who said that a daughter's body can't go into battle to kill the enemy? Although Zhao Yun is a daughter, he has been a chivalrous man in ancient times, and look at my white horse spear to relieve the siege of the yellow scarf. β
The patriarch was still suspicious, so I pulled out and said loudly, "Patriarch, what do you think of my knife?"
"Well, he's a good man in the green forest. The patriarch said with a smile.
"I have a green dragon on my left, a white tiger on my right, and an old cow on my waist. God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. I waved my long knife and said, "However, I am not Zhao Yun's opponent, Zhao Yun single-handedly saved General Gongsun Zhan." β
"Is this really the case?" the patriarch was shocked, and he didn't know if it was my big sword that kept dangling in front of his eyes that surprised him, or if he was really shocked. But after a few days of visiting, I also know that in the eyes of the local villagers, General Gongsun Chan is like a god. I told Zhao Yun about the deeds of Zhao Yun who was instructed by Kong Beihai to transport grain and rescue Gongsun Zan in Beiping, and the patriarch was shocked and did not dare to speak.
Suddenly, Zhao Yun changed into a man's clothes, and he was really heroic, and he never looked like a daughter again.
"Good!" clapped the patriarch, "very good. Then Zhao Yun will lead the township and share the worries of the place!"
A few days later, Zhao Yun and I bid farewell to the second elder, and led Xiangyong to Jizhou. This Xiangyong army is only more than 200 people, there are children and old people, and in the process of marching, Zhao Yun practiced some basic formations and martial arts with guns while walking, so he walked extremely slowly.
When I escorted this team to Jizhou, I completed my mission. On this day, I found Zhao Yun and said: "The foolish brother went down the mountain just to explore the rivers and lakes, and he had no intention of fighting on the battlefield. β
Zhao Yun knew that I couldn't let go of my marriage after all, and it was often embarrassing to meet, so she always did things happily, so she said: "Big brother, take care, we don't change the green mountains, and the green water will flow forever." He will meet again in the future. β
"Take care!" I rode my yellow horse and left this village team, the road ahead was bumpy, and the huge rivers and lakes had already made me accustomed to wandering, so I took one step at a time.
β»β»β»
I walked aimlessly, in a low mood, and enjoyed drinking all day long. On this day, I was walking on the official road when suddenly the north wind was fierce, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and after a short time, a light snow began to fall.
On this day of the previous year, I had already burned charcoal and shivered on the kang head on Zhongnan Mountain. At that time, the master would always boil a pot of hot ginger soup, and although the days were bitter, he also felt delicious. Only this winter, I was left alone. Thinking about it so far, it is extremely melancholy.
Suddenly, two horses hurried past me. "Get out of the way!" shouted a one-eyed man at me, and I thought someone else was in a hurry, so I quickly pulled my horse to a halt on the side of the road. The two men didn't look back, but sped away.
After walking for a while, two horses passed by, and they were running very fast, and suddenly the horse stumbled on his front hooves in the ice and snow, and was about to kneel on the ground, and I saw that the man suddenly fell from the horse's back, and it seemed that he was very lucky, but I saw him put his feet on the ground, stretched out his right hand and gently supported it, and then lifted up the horse's stumbling front hooves, and he himself got on the horse's back steadily, and galloped away.
"Good kung fu!" I couldn't help but admire. Sure enough, there are many strange people and strange people on the rivers and lakes, and you still have to learn more and see more when walking the rivers and lakes.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, two horses galloped by, both in a hurry. I rode slowly on my inferior horse, and was about to reach the town in front of me, when two more horses passed. But I saw a horse stepping on the bamboo basket of the old charcoal seller, and he didn't speak, threw a few copper coins and left.
I woke up all the way, but unexpectedly, after half a day's effort, there were six pairs of people from the rivers and lakes rushing forward. Most of them carry swords, look vicious, and are dressed in strange costumes, and they look like people in the same way.
"Could it be that there is any martial arts event ahead?" I was thinking about it, but I saw two more horses coming, I looked at it, but the two people who came recognized it, it turned out to be the "Xuanming Second Elder" arrived.
I stopped in the middle of the road and said from afar: "Two seniors, down is Duan Dahu." β
The two of them reined in their horses and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Brother Duan, I don't know why I'm here?"
I saw a teahouse nearby, so I beckoned: "The two seniors have worked hard all the way, how about a cup of tea and then go?"
The thin head Tuo Gao Yiwei said: "After driving for a long time, I am indeed hungry and thirsty, so I disturb the little brother so much." β
The two dismounted, tied the horses to the stakes, and followed me into the teahouse. Cha Xiaoer was very eye-catching, and when he saw that the business came to the door, he had already made hot tea and brought it up.
"I wonder where the two seniors are in a hurry?" I asked.
The two glanced at each other, the short-headed Tuo Chu Yinan nodded, and Gao Yiwei said: "Little brother, seeing that you have just entered the rivers and lakes, it doesn't hurt to tell you." In the past few days, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that the dragon-slaying sword that the world does not dare to obey is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army. A few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army issued a heroic post, calling on the world's martial arts people to go to Jizhou Hero Valley to gather, I heard that the dragon slaying knife is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, if any hero has a fate, the dragon slaying knife will be gifted. β
I smirked and said in my heart: "Isn't this dragon slaying knife a rhetoric in a knight's notes? 'Could it be that this dragon slayer knife actually exists?'
When Zhu Yinan saw me laughing, he thought he was disdainful, and said with a cold face: "Could it be that the young man thinks we are joking?"
I hurriedly restrained my smile and clenched my fists seriously: "Don't dare." At the beginning of the next year, I also want to see the world, I wonder if the two seniors can take Xiao Ke together?"
"Well, it's okay to take you to see the world, but you need to do everything according to our commands, and don't act recklessly. Gao Yiwei said, "There is still one day to go, and the yellow horse at the door is yours, right? If we can't keep up, we won't wait. β
"I see. Two seniors, I have seen a few pairs of knights passing by this morning, isn't it all for this matter?"
"What? We thought we were ahead of the curve, and there was even a faster one?" Zhu Yinan said with a disgrace: "Hurry up, don't let others take the lead!"
The two put down their teacups, snatched out of the teahouse with a light leap, and the horses neighed and galloped towards the Valley of Heroes.
