Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Prodigal Son of Danjiang (I)

The next morning, the two also left Fangzhou and continued on their way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info By noon, they had already come to the edge of the Danjiang River. This Danjiang was named Danshui in Yaoshun, and legend has it that it was famous for its abundance of Dan fish, so it was named Danjiang. On the south side of the Danjiang River, there is the holy land of Taoism - Wudang Mountain, but at this time the reputation of Wudang Mountain is not as prominent as that of later generations, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang School, has not yet been born, so Wudang Mountain is only ranked ninth in the seventy-two blessed lands at this time. At this time, the two of them looked eastward, and they could vaguely see the seventy-two peaks of Wudang standing upright, and the trees on the mountain were grouped, lush and green, and very beautiful.

Zhang Linxin looked at the beautiful scenery of the landscape, his heart moved, and said: "Brother Dugu, how about we find a boat and go to this river to eat?" Dugu Jian naturally agreed.

So the two found a fisherman, rented a small boat, and told the boatman to go to the other side in the evening to pick up the boat. I bought chickens and fish to eat, and rowed into the river. The Danjiang River flows from northwest to southeast in this area, forming a large lake in this area. The two rowed against the current, eating while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river. Since they came out of Lin'an, Zhang Lin's nerves have been tense, and it wasn't until they met Zhang Rumeng last night that the three of them talked about everything, and the girl really walked out of the shadow of the pain of losing her father.

At this time, Dugu Jian was rowing the boat, she stood at the bow of the boat, and said to Dugu Jian with a smile: "Brother Dugu, you see the scenery here, it is different from the scenery in our south of the Yangtze River. Dugu Jian nodded, he was a little absent-minded, he had very few words from morning to here, basically Zhang Linxin said a word, and he only answered. And after the girl saw her brother, she was in a much better mood all of a sudden, and she didn't notice his strangeness.

Dugu Jian was thinking about Nangong Caihong's identity in his heart at this time, Zhang Rumeng said very vaguely last night, and Zhang Linxin never said it explicitly, he was full of doubts about this in his heart, but he didn't know how to ask. At this time, hearing the girl's words, he answered vaguely while paddling.

Zhang Linxin saw that he didn't speak, his eyes rolled, he walked to his side, pulled his sleeve and asked with a smile: "Brother Dugu, what do you want? Why ignore me?" Dugu Jian looked ahead and said: "Lin'er, I still have a lot of doubts about last night's incident that have not been resolved, and I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't rest assured." ”

"Brother Dugu, I guess you must not be thinking about my brother's words, but because he mentioned Sister Rainbow, you are suspicious of Sister Rainbow, aren't you?"

"No, no, Lin'er, don't get me wrong. ”

"Giggles, Brother Dugu, you don't need to explain, actually, I understand, there were some things that my brother said last night, and they were not detailed, so you are doubting the identity of Sister Rainbow, am I right?"

"Hao Lin'er, I really can't hide it from you, when I heard your brother say it last night, I always wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to speak......"

"I know that you have only seen Sister Rainbow in Yichun Courtyard, but she is a strange woman with martial arts, so you are very curious about her identity. Am I right?" Zhang Linxin sat down, leaned on Dugu Jian's shoulder, sighed, and said softly: "Brother Dugu, in fact, I don't know Sister Rainbow's life experience, I only know that when I was a child, she lived with us since I can remember. She and her brother are the same age, and the relationship between the two is naturally very good. Later, when my brother was fourteen years old, my father came back from Jinguo and became a big official, but Sister Rainbow was picked up at that time, and we don't know where I went, and my brother had a serious illness because of this. Zhang Linxin was immersed in the memories of this past, "Later, just three years ago, Sister Rainbow appeared in Yichun Courtyard in Lin'an City, I once secretly went to look for her, but she said she didn't know me." I was so angry about this, I told my brother, but he wouldn't let me go to Sister Rainbow again. I thought there must be a lot of reason for this, but I couldn't guess. After Dugu Jian heard it, he didn't find any really useful news from here, but he knew that the years when Nangong Rainbow disappeared were the key. If you want to really understand her, I'm afraid you still need to go to Zhang Rumeng, but will he definitely know? This is not necessarily a thing, and now it seems that it can only be one step at a time.

Zhang Linxin saw that Dugu Jian was absent-minded, and suddenly became a little angry, and took his hand, "Brother Dugu, did you listen to me!" Dugu Jian came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed: "Ah, yes, yes, Lin'er, I listened, listened." ”

"No, you definitely didn't listen, you lied to me, I'm angry. Zhang Linxin's face changed, pretending to be unhappy, and turned around. Dugu Jian couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to persuade him gently: "Good Lin'er, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I can't compensate you here." ”

"Well, you sing me a tune, and I'll forgive you. With that, she turned around and looked at Dugu Jian.

"This ...... Uh, that's, not very good. Dugu Jian looked at Zhang Lin's little face that turned cold, and hurriedly changed his words. "Okay, okay, let me think. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Then I'll sing you a Mr. Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao". Zhang Linxin clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, good!"

Dugu Jian cleared his throat and sang: "Go to the east of the great river, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters." To the west of the base, humanity is: Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time. This Shangque sang impassionedly, and Zhang Lin applauded again and again. Dugu Jian stopped and rested, and was about to continue singing.

Suddenly, I only heard the sound of Xia Que coming from the river in the distance: "Thinking about Gongjin back then, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, and he was heroic." Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone. The old country fugue, affectionate should laugh at me, born early. Life is like a dream, and a bottle is still a river. The singing is also vigorous and powerful, which echoes what Dugu Jian sings.

In the distance, there was a flat boat, and there were only two people on the boat, a captain standing at the stern of the boat and a middle-aged man sitting on the bow. The two looked at each other, understood that it must be this person singing, and rowed towards the boat. The two boats were a few feet apart, and the middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am happy to meet a good guest on the river, how about inviting the two of you to have a drink together?"

Jian Xin and the two of them saw that he was young and handsome, and there was a heroic air between his eyebrows, he was about forty-five or sixteen years old, and he talked extraordinarily, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, and he gave a salute together, "I'm afraid of disturbing the elders." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "It's okay, I see that the two of them are handsome and polite, I think they must be everyone's people, please come over and talk about it." The two boats were already close together, and Dugu Jian tied the boat to the tail of the fishing boat, and stepped onto the bow of the fishing boat with Zhang Linxin. The middle-aged man was very happy, got up and invited them to sit down, poured two glasses of wine, and drank them with them.

Zhang Linxin tasted it lightly, then put it down, and said: "This elder brother's surname is Dugu, and the younger generation's surname is Zhang, on a whim, he sang on the river, disturbing the elder's Yaxing, please forgive me." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I can hear this little brother's subtle and clear voice, and I have to thank you for it." My surname is Yan, are you two coming to Danjiang for the first time?" Dugu Jian replied: "Exactly." The middle-aged man raised his glass again, and the three of them drank two glasses.

The middle-aged humanitarian: "The "Nian Nujiao" sung by Shicai, the lonely little brother, is impassioned and full of charm. I didn't expect that the little brother was young, but he could sing this song so exquisitely, which is really extraordinary. Dugu Jian hurriedly excused himself and said: "The predecessors praised it falsely, but I listened to the gentleman who taught the book and literature a few times, and if you learn it randomly, you should not be praised by the elders." The middle-aged man smiled, "It seems that Mr. Ling is also a master." Continuing to pour wine and persuade the guests, the three of them drank a few more glasses, and ate a few dishes of side dishes.

Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin were about to say goodbye at this time, but they didn't know that there was another small boat rowed in the distance, and a man wearing armor stood on it, shouting loudly: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, took a drink from the wine glass, and said: "Let the two of you laugh! At this time, the boat was already three feet away, the middle-aged man put down the wine glass, and with a slight touch of his toes, he took off into the air, and his right foot was a little more on the water, and in the blink of an eye he landed on the small boat.

When the two saw the middle-aged man's hand, they were secretly frightened. Dugu Jian whispered to Zhang Linxin: "Lin'er, I didn't expect this senior Yan's kung fu to be so high. Zhang Linxin nodded, attached to Dugu Jian's ear, and said softly: "Brother Dugu, let's listen to what this senior Yan is saying first. ”

I saw the middle-aged man standing on the bow of the boat and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" The man in armor looked at the two Kenshin on the fishing boat, and stopped talking. The middle-aged man looked at his expression, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, these two friends are my honored guests, you can tell me anything." The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yan, our Tanma has reported that the Golden Dog has learned the news that we are stationed here. Now 3,000 men and horses have been sent to kill us, and the vanguard has crossed the Liangshui River, and it is less than a hundred miles away from us. When the middle-aged man heard this, he was not alarmed, but just nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you go back first, tell the brothers to get ready, and I will go back." After speaking, he turned around and jumped back on the fishing boat, smiled at Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "I met with the two Pingshui, but it was very fateful, I wanted to invite the two to stay in the village for a few days, but I didn't want this golden dog to make trouble again, and the hospitality was not considerate, and I asked the two to forgive me." If you can defeat the Jin soldiers this time, when you see each other again in the future, you will have a good drink with the two of you. ”
