Chapter XI
Chang'an, not safe?
Karma, no fate?
Fate is something that can't be explained, how can the silk thread entangled in fate be sorted out, and how many people will be injured if the knife is swung away?
"Huhu" Xu Sanjin panted and bent over to stand there, he only took half the time when he came to the two streets, but the facts told him that he was late, the restaurant was still there, and the man was no longer there.
"Xiao Er, what about that person you beat just now?" asked Xiao Er, who Xu Sanjin dragged out.
Xiao Er also knows Xu Sanjin, and there is a way to not know each other. "He, I didn't see it either, maybe he left by himself. β
"Oh, that's right, thank you. Xu Sanjin's face was full of loss, he felt that he had made an unforgivable mistake, if he didn't save him when he died, would he still be human? He condemned himself over and over again, and he slowly left.
"Strong man. A familiar voice came through his ears.
"Huh?" Xu Sanjin stopped and looked around, but saw the man under a tree, which was not very far from the restaurant, but around the corner, people came and went, and it was true that he didn't pay attention.
Xu Sanjin walked towards the man quickly, only to see that the person's face was ruddy, his complexion had recovered a lot, and his eyes were bright, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
"I saw you running over just now, and I called you, but I was afraid that you were running too fast and didn't hear you. The man said with a smile.
"There were a lot of things just now...."Xu Sanjin said to the man with a red face.
"Debt repayment, since ancient times is a matter of course, I don't give money for meals, and it's normal to be beaten, and thank you to the strong man for saving me. The man's eyes were intently looking at the vendors, officers and soldiers, and women, large and small.
"This...."Xu Sanjin thought of his heart just now, and he was embarrassed again.
"It's always a strong man, I don't know what your name is?" The man turned his head and looked at Xu Sanjin. The man looked more than forty years old, although his figure was thin, his facial features were still thoughtful, and he had the feeling of a Confucian scholar.
"Xu Sanjin, just call me three catties. Xu Sanjin said.
"It turned out to be Brother Xu, when I return, I will send someone to invite you at home. The man said very solemnly, but Xu Sanjin heard it very awkwardly.
"Why bother?" Xu Sanjin waved his hand, and somehow, he had an inexplicable boredom with the words of the man just now. "And ask my godbrother Tai Daimyo?"
"I am true and false, and false is false. The man pointed to the willow tree on his back, "My surname is Liu," why should Qiang Di complain about the willow, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. "My name is Liu Chunfeng. β
"That's it, I think you should be older than me, I call you Brother Liu, you call me Sanjin, how about it?" Sanjin said.
"Very good," the man laughed, and looked again.
"What are you looking at?" asked Xu Sanjin curiously.
"Don't you think they're funny?" said the man, pointing to the passers-by. "They are busy all day, but they live a down-to-earth and meaningful life, you look at the hawkers' hawking, one by one, how distinctive, I feel hungry again, and those women who are dressed up, you look at them, the little girl is dressed up one way, everyone is a beautiful girl, and the folk woman is the same..."Xu Sanjin looked at him in surprise, has he never seen this?
"Look at that person, Xu is too tall to dangle around, like a tall duck; look at that person again, walking and twisting, it seems to be like a spring that is not well running...."The man's eyes showed excitement, are you these people in a thousand postures, are you very funny? Unlike where I am, people are the same, the same expression, the same submissive, I have lived for decades, I am in Chang'an, I only know the prosperity of Chang'an, only vaguely seen in the dream in the play, never really seen, I feel like I am dreaming, Liu Chunfeng is more and more excited, and his body is shaking incessantly, "I don't like to live a life of fine clothes and food, I just want to be a normal person, I just want to open a chess hall, it's ridiculous to say, but I never dared to tell others." β
"It's not ridiculous, my dream is to marry a daughter-in-law and open a blacksmith shop. Xu Sanjin said seriously.
"Really?" Liu Chunfeng glanced at him excitedly, he finally found a soulmate, and finally found a person as simple as his ideals. In the whole world, there will be a few people who really understand themselves and understand themselves, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will figure out themselves from time to time and guess their every word, but they are not as good as a person who has never known himself in his life.
"Really. Xu Sanjin looked at him and said, somehow, Xu Sanjin felt very pitiful for him. "Actually, I can also play chess, although I don't play as well as my junior brother, but it's not bad, playing chess, it's nothing more than adjusting your mood next time, but if you are too obsessed with it, you always feel that the gains outweigh the losses, however, it should be good to open a chess hall, I support you. β
"You participate in a chess match?" Liu Chunfeng asked inexplicably.
"I may or may not participate, whatever! I am a layman, and even if I go, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a place.
"Brother Xian, promise to do one thing for your brother?" Liu Chunfeng said with a straight face.
"What's the matter?"
"You promise first, the foolish brother won't harm you. Liu Chunfeng suddenly became nervous, he had always wanted to participate, and suddenly, he felt that the person in front of him was all his hope, and he could compete instead of himself.
"Okay, okay, I'll just say yes. Xu Sanjin looked at him so nervously and said.
"Participate in chess tournaments. Liu Chunfeng said word by word.
"That's for me to consider. Xu Sanjin said.
"No, you can't. Liu Chunfeng is very resolute. "It's been less than a month since the chess game, and every minute and second is a waste, even if you do me a favor, can you?" Liu Chunfeng almost pleaded.
"Okay, but don't worry about whether you can get a ranking or not. Xu Sanjin said.
"Good. Liu Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Victory and defeat are common things, how can Yiqi be judged by victory or defeat?"
The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and watched the endless flow of people together.
How many times is there in life, watching the clouds roll up, the tide rises and falls, and how many people are in a good mood and sit and watch Chang'an? The breeze blows, and what blows away is nothing more than a loneliness.
"Actually, I'm glad someone hit me. Liu Chunfeng said.
"Oh?"
"Although my body is still aching, I am in a good mood now. He also wanted to say that for the first time in decades I was so comfortable, before he only knew that he was the so-called Ninety-Five, the true dragon Son of Heaven, a sentence can make a person soar, a sentence can make a person life and death worse, but he is lonely, lonely, he is not living for himself, he is living for the country, the world, he used this reason to deceive himself for a long time, suddenly one day, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror, he found that he did not know himself, the original self, simple self, a self who likes to play chessγ
Between the turns, the memory is tilted, who will take these thousands of thoughts?
"It's not early, it's time for me to go. Liu Chunfeng stood up and patted the dust on his body.
"How do I find you?" asked Xu Sanjin.
"There is a chance to meet. Liu Chunfeng said with a smile.
"What a strange man. Xu Sanjin looked at him and said.
"Who's weird?" a familiar voice rang in his ears, and he looked up to see that it was still not in the tree, and he turned around and smiled charmingly.
"Look, people can always be in the trees, you think people are monkeys?" the woman realized that she had said the wrong thing. "Also, don't be hippie and smiling with this girl, this girl won't eat you. β
Xu Sanjin smiled even brighter: "You came to me specifically?"
"Think beautifully" The woman glanced at him, "Don't be sentimental, this girl went out shopping, and saw that there seemed to be a toad under the tree, and when she came to look, it turned out that you were stretching your neck and looking, by the way, what are you looking at?" the woman asked.
"Nothing. I met a very interesting person. Xu Sanjin replied with a smile, looking at the woman empty-handed, in fact, when he heard Miao Qingqing's voice, he was thinking about strategy, the first two times he was too hard, so this time he should be gentle.
"Female?"
"You guess? Xu Sanjin took a step closer and put his face in front of Miao Qingqing.
"Hooligans. Miao Qingqing pushed him away, "Shameless, who rarely eats your jealousy." Let's go" Miao Qingqing took a few steps and saw Xu Sanjin standing there looking at him. "Don't follow me. β
"That's not good, I'm about to go back to Zhang's mansion. Xu Sanjin said with a smile, this little girl sees that I don't treat you well, and she is not allowed to follow her, I want to go all the way with you.
"Ignore you. The woman puffed up her cheeks and walked quickly, the pomegranate skirt on her body dancing in the wind, and it seemed that a butterfly was flying in the distance.
Xu Sanjin smiled and walked over quickly.
I sat on the roof, blowing willow leaves, the ink and blue flowers in the pool, bright under the moon, who will pick the acacia, who will tie the red rope?
"Second Senior Brother?" Song Wen said cautiously, for fear of disturbing the young man who was watching the chess game.
"What, is there something wrong?" asked Ouyang Wuji with a smile. He was the same to everyone, always so kind, always so polite. However, a hint of loss flashed in Song Wen's eyes.
"The weather is very good today, I want to buy some jewelry, you, can you accompany me?" Song Wen said nervously.
"I'm sorry, I've learned some more, I want to sort it out, you go to find the senior brother. Ouyang Wuji said softly.
"That's the case, it's okay, I'll just go by myself, don't bother the senior brother, do you need to buy anything?" Song Wen deliberately said very easily, but her eyes showed infinite disappointment.
"No, thank you. Ouyang Wuji said.
Looking at Song Wen's distant shadow, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was not an idiot, but now he can't help it, there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, for the sake of Qigu, for the master, for Song Wen, and for himself, he can only give up now. But who can understand his painstaking solitude? Why does he have to carry too much if he knows too much?
"Alas" Ouyang Wuji came back to his senses and continued to study the chess game.
"Alas" Song Wen walked out of Zhang's mansion and sighed softly, how many times can the beautiful years be able to resist sighing?
