As the sun sets, the afterglow pulls out a long shadow for people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The shepherd boy played the shepherd flute, sounded a brisk beat, and sat on the back of the ox and walked slowly on the way home.
It's autumn harvest time again, and the golden waves of wheat have long been gone, replaced by wheat bundles on the roadside, in the fields, waiting for the farmers' bales, and the shouts of one after another are mixed with everyone's laughter. It's a rural scene.
Lu Shaoyuan sat on the carriage, leisurely looking at this comfortable pastoral scenery, and in front of the driver, it was Guisheng who opened a grocery store in the village, Guisheng drove all the way, and the villagers on both sides of the road greeted Guisheng, and Guisheng also asked in a friendly manner, "This year's harvest is good, right?"
"This year's harvest is fast enough, and the harvest is over so quickly, my good man" Gui Sheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the large wheat fields had been harvested.
Shao Yuan's mind was pulled back by Guisheng's words, and he asked suspiciously, "Brother Guisheng, didn't this wheat be harvested so quickly in previous years?"
Gui Sheng didn't look back, and pointed to the wheat field on the side, "Mmmm, the grain in our village is basically outsourced by Li Dayuan in the city, this year Li Dayuan somehow, maybe I'm in a hurry to ask for food, three days ago, I transferred 10 carriages and 30 family members from their house to help us harvest wheat, and also paid all the food, I have to say that Li Yuanwai is really getting more and more kind" Speaking of this, Gui Sheng couldn't help laughing
Shaoyuan was a little relieved when he heard this, "I said Brother Guisheng, this is a good thing, isn't it?
Gui Sheng sighed, and pointed to the mountain outside the village a little helplessly, "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's right, it's just that the road has not been very peaceful recently, and there is a nest of thieves who have recently fallen into the grass nearby, and we are afraid of suffering if we harvest our grain so quickly."
Shao Yuan suddenly realized, "Oh, so Brother Guisheng, you came back in such a hurry?"
Gui Sheng nodded, and said embarrassedly, "Yes, after all, I am from the village, and I will soon be a father, hahahaha"
Shaoyuan: "But if it weren't for Brother Guisheng, you were so anxious, I wouldn't have been able to take this ride, hahaha"
Gui Sheng: "Brother Shaoyuan, where are you going to lie here?"
Shaoyuan pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't think about it, I grew up outside the Saiwai, and when the master went west, he asked me to send a letter to a friend of his, let's wait for me to finish sending the letter." ”
Walking leisurely through the village road, we soon came to the entrance of the village, and ten carriages were already loaded with golden wheat, ready to go. A few family members are counting the wheat on the cart. Shaoyuan unconsciously looked at the grain cart and the family, but his eyes stopped at a family that was about the same age as himself, and the family seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, so he looked up, looked at each other, and the two people who met for the first time actually had the same thought, "This person knows martial arts."
Shaoyuan jumped to the driving place, "Brother Guisheng, all the family members outside Li Yuanwai are practicing the family?"
Gui Sheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, what's wrong?"
Shao Yuan leaned next to Guisheng and whispered, "Just now I saw that those family members were calm and powerful, and they were practiced at a glance."
Gui Sheng was happy when he heard it, "Okay, aren't you afraid of those bandits?"
At the grain cart, the young family looked at the carriage in the distance, his brows tightened, and a trace of solemnity flashed on his face under the family's clothes, adding a bit of solemnity and majesty to his already handsome face, and the slightly older family on the side saw him frowning, so he asked, "Hall master, who is that person?"
As soon as the young family heard the hall master, he immediately looked at the old family with cold eyes, "Be careful that the wall has ears"
When the elder family heard this, he hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, that person just now?"
The young man closed his eyes and shook his head gently, "I don't know, I feel, that person can also do martial arts, I hope it's not Neiying"
Turning the avenue in the village, turning the market square, the grocery carriage stopped at the door of a chic small shop, Gui Sheng stopped the carriage, and then shouted loudly, "Lady, I'm back" and then turned back to Shaoyuan and said, "Brother Shaoyuan, come, this is my home"
A young pregnant woman slowly lifted the curtain of the inner room door, walked out of it with a big belly, and said softly, "Brother Guisheng, are you back?"
Gui Sheng smiled, didn't say anything, just leaned on the mother's stomach and said, "Child, are you obedient today?
The pregnant woman smiled and gently beat Guisheng, "Hey, there are still people, be serious, they are about to become fathers"
Gui Sheng scratched his head and said with a smile, "Lady, this is Lu Shaoyuan, and I fell in love at first sight."
Shaoyuan took the lead and said, "Sister-in-law is good"
The pregnant woman "Brother Shaoyuan, you can do it for a while, I'll pour you tea" and then wanted to get up
Guisheng looked at it, and hurriedly pressed the pregnant woman, "You the big body, sit down, I'll come"
Suddenly, the gong outside suddenly sounded, "The bandits are coming, everyone run away"
Guisheng, who had just come out of the inner hall with tea, was so shocked that he dropped the teacup on the ground.
Shao Yuan was the first to react and said to the two, "Hurry up"
The sister-in-law reacted, so she planned to turn around and take away some of the family's savings, but as soon as she turned around, she was picked up by Guisheng behind her, and said in a hurry, "What are you going to do, of course it's important to keep you big and small."
Shaoyuan immediately pushed open the door, and the pedestrians on the street were already running to the east of the village in a panic, and there were Li Yuanwai's family members on the road or carrying or hugging to assist the villagers to leave, and they had to shout "help the villagers" to call those young and strong people to help the old man, Shaoyuan jumped into the carriage, and then Gui Sheng lifted his sister-in-law, Shao Yuan took it, Gui Sheng jumped on the car from the other side, and drove the carriage forward.
Originally, Shaoyuan and they drove the carriage faster than ordinary people, but there was a pregnant woman in the carriage, Guisheng didn't dare to catch up too fast, a carriage that was not fast looked so dazzling in the crowd of people who were running wildly, and the people slowly ran away, and the carriage was just about to turn the street, and there were already bandits chasing soldiers behind.
"Woo......" the sister-in-law cried unconsciously
"Don't cry, lady, I will definitely protect you" is a strong saying, but it still can't hide the sadness in your heart
Shaoyuan looked at the scene in front of him, and in a trance, he returned to the village of Biansai, where he grew up, when he was sacked by horse thieves a few months ago.
"Master, master" Shaoyuan carried Grandma Guo next door, shouting to the master who raised him and left
"Hurry up, if you don't go, the horse thief is coming, since the gray frost blade has been passed on to you, if the division can't stop the horse thief, you will also fight for the villagers to the end" A man in his fifties turned his back to them with a single knife horizontally, it was also a place of panic, but the man was so decisive.
With tears in his eyes, Shaoyuan chased after the fleeing villagers with Grandma Guo behind his back
A few hours later, the villagers returned to the village with the officers and soldiers of the brigade opening the way, and the men who stayed behind to guard the village were lying dead or wounded in the square. Shaoyuan ran into the square, looked around nervously, grabbed a still angry and asked, "Brother Gao, where is my master?"
Brother Gao raised his finger weakly and pointed to a water stall not far away, Shaoyuan immediately put down Brother Gao and rushed towards the water stall, only to see that the master had multiple knife wounds ...... his body.
"Master" tears had already poured out of Shaoyuan's eyes
"What are you crying about, I won't be able to die for a while as a teacher, quick, help me up"
Maybe God loves to joke, after this battle, new diseases and old pains emerge together, the original tough master, but like the oil runs out of the lamp, lying in bed for three months, more and more tired body, in the coma, the master gradually woke up. The master looked at Shaoyuan who was taking a nap on the side
The master softly called "Shaoyuan, Shaoyuan"
Shaoyuan woke up on the side, and suddenly saw that the master's face improved, his spirit recovered, and he said excitedly, "Master, how are you?" The master smiled and shook his head, "I feel that time is running out for the master, and you are still young, and many things are not understood, a few months ago, the teacher had already repaired a book, and when I went west, you took a knife and a letter to Chaisang to find a true monk, can you understand?"
When the master heard this, he was relieved and said softly, "Fifty years of life, a painful love has passed away in front of me, the second pain knife technique has not been completed, and the trust of the third pain friend has not been completed, providence, providence"
After a long time, Shaoyuan raised his head, but saw that the master had already gone west.
Three days later, with the help of the villagers, Shaoyuan buried his master and embarked on his journey.
Shaoyuan saw his sister-in-law's crying, his eyes became firm, so he arched his hand and said, "Brother Guisheng, sister-in-law, it seems that this is the time for us to separate, Brother Guisheng, little brother thank you again for your righteous words in the bazaar at noon today."
Gui Sheng: "Brother Shaoyuan, ...... you?"
Shaoyuan didn't speak, he jumped out, jumped out of the carriage, and watched the carriage drift away, "Big brother and sister-in-law, you must live well", turned around again and pulled out the gray frost blade, the bandit had already come to him.
The bandits gradually surrounded him, and the leader shouted "Boy, so daring, I actually stayed alone, after the break, you all retreat, I want to be one-on-one with this kid"
Shao Yuan didn't speak, closed his eyes lightly, "My gray frost blade failed to stop the horse thief outside the plug, even if I die today, I will die with you", so he put on a knife posture.
The thief sneered, although the posture was ordinary, but the other party was extremely imposing, and he had a look of sacrificing his life for righteousness, so he also put on a posture, and then raised a single knife and rushed over directly.
Shaoyuan was motionless, the distance between the two sides kept shrinking, and just when the bandits were about to succeed, a cold light suddenly flashed. Shao Yuan shook the gray frost blade slightly, and the dazzling light reflected on the bandit's face, at this time, there was only one word "fast" in the thief's mind, and then, he felt that his body was pierced by a sharp blade.
"Boom" The bandits fell to the enemy, and several of the bandits present were dumbfounded, and stammered, "One, one, one move?" "He, the knife he used, can actually send out such a strong stab?"
Just now, while a few thieves were still thinking, the companions beside them heard a miserable scream, accompanied by Shao Yuan's mockery with murderous intent, "Dare to be in a daze when fighting for life and death, go to death" I saw Shaoyuan immediately rush to kill several people, the gray frost blade wiped the thief's neck, and then took advantage of the left hand to push the thief to the bandit, several thieves caught their companions, Shaoyuan took advantage of the situation to provoke the gray frost blade from the armpit of the thorn thief into the back of the thief, at this time the remaining two thieves glanced at each other, from the left and right at the same time, Shaoyuan was not in a hurry, his left hand picked up the scabbard and transported the internal force to hit the thief's blade to block, and the thief at the same time pressed Shaoyuan to bend his knees. Shao Yuan smiled hideously, shouted, and at the same time raised it to block the two blows, between the lightning and flint, passing between the two thieves, and there was also a cross knife of Shao Yuan in the middle, and the two thieves looked at the bleeding waist in disbelief, and slowly fell.
The place had just stopped, but the bandit army had arrived. The bandits led by him looked at it closely, Shao Yuan actually killed five of his bandits, and in fact, what made him more concerned was the weapon in Shao Yuan's hand, which was a knife with a one-sided blade, but why was this knife so straight? Even the arc was not very obvious. How could there be such a weapon in the world? Immediately issued an order: "Don't touch it, you can kill our five brothers, drag him down, and put a rope on it."
When everyone heard this, they all pressed on tightly, but they didn't move, instead a large number of rope sleeves flew in all directions. Shaoyuan saw that the situation was not right, so he wanted to use light skills to escape from this encirclement, but this place has been surrounded by dozens of bandits, and he can't escape, the leader of the bandits, seeing that he missed a flaw, so he used his right hand to read a stone, and carried the internal force to shoot at Shaoyuan's calf, Shaoyuan was in pain, and half knelt down, at this time, the lasso went up again, and grabbed Shaoyuan.
"Thief, dare to fight me to the death!?" Shaoyuan was tied all over, but his mouth was unforgiving
"Hahaha, do you think this is a duel!?" the bandit head didn't care
A bandit came from the front and said, "The villagers have all run away and have not been caught, but there is a lot of food for the winter."
The fourth master waved his hand when he heard this, "Okay, I just caught almost ten people by the car, enough for us to cook for the winter, and if you catch more, you can eat more, hahahaha, reward you" After speaking, he took out a gold bead from his waist and bounced it to the hand of the thief who gave the order. "Take this man with you, let's go back to the cottage"
On the way to the cottage, behind more than a dozen carriages, the people caught by the thieves were actually Jia Ding and Shaoyuan
Shaoyuan and the previous Jia Ding who were facing each other were tied up one after the other, but Jia Ding didn't seem to feel like a prisoner at all, and there was even a little blur between his eyes.
Shaoyuan asked, "How many of you killed a few bandits?"
Jia Ding said disapprovingly, "No"
Shaoyuan thought that he had heard it wrong, after all, this person knew martial arts, and these family members were not weak, so they didn't kill any of them, "Are you kidding me?"
Jiading looked helpless, "I surrendered"
Shaoyuan opened his mouth in surprise: "Surrender?
The family said disdainfully, "We just eat together, whose food we eat, is there any difference?"
Shaoyuan: "You! you!
And the thief who led them in front laughed and said, "This brother is right, they are all mixed food, what does it matter what they eat, but it's you, kill the big bear and them, it is estimated that you will have a good time when you arrive at the cottage in a while"
Shaoyuan said proudly, with a thick disdain between his tones, "The eldest husband is fearless, I will do what is righteous, and I will never regret it"
But the thieves didn't care at all, "Hahaha, righteousness, you eat first, and then talk about morality when you're full."
Jia Ding said flatteringly, "This big brother, you don't have to worry about him, he is a stupid man with a hot brain, it's good to be a thief, and you don't have to be angry with those rich people, you can eat and drink spicy food, I don't know what kind of food you like to eat, big brother?
Bandit "Hahaha, good boy, know current affairs, we like to eat spicy, no spicy or happy"
"Okay, good, small one remembered"
Shaoyuan: "Oh, you soft bones"
The family frowned, kicked him in the back, and then glanced at the other family members. "Big brother, how long are we going to go? The sun is really going to go down soon."
The thief smiled, "It's almost fast, it's going to be our way, it's a hidden village, but it's a craft, and the four masters are the most familiar with it, so it's fast."
After a short time, everyone came to a big village hidden in the depths
At this time, an inexplicable smile appeared on the face of a family leader, "It turned out to be hiding here~"
