Chapter 6 - Acquaintance with Taihu Lake

Chang Yankang looked at Xiao Lang for a while, and said: "Lang'er, I often hear your sister mention you, only saying that you went out at the age of thirteen, and you haven't heard from you for ten years. Good thing you got home on your own. ”

Xiao Lang said: "Thank you brother-in-law for worrying, I wandered around before, and if I went far, it was naturally difficult for my brother-in-law to find me." ”

"Then why don't you go home earlier?" This question that his parents and sister have not asked, Chang Yankang asked, he is a person who walks the rivers and lakes, and he is inevitably worried that Xiao Lang will go astray.

Xiao Lang said: "I worked for others in the past few years, and in the next few years I did business in the Liangguang area, and I didn't have the face to go home until I did a big business not long ago, so I went home to honor my parents." After he finished speaking, he took out a money bag from his bosom, and the bag was bulging. He handed the bag to his father and said, "Father, Lang'er has been away from home for many years and has not been able to help the family, these two hundred taels of silver are my savings for many years, and I asked my father to find someone to repair the house and buy some household goods." ”

The father had already taken the money, and said, "Okay, I'll build a house for you to marry a daughter-in-law." Chang Yankang was about to say something, but Xiao Yan had already pulled the corner of his clothes. Xiao Lang's silver taels are more than these, just because they are afraid of scaring their parents and don't take them out, after all, their parents are just real countrymen, and it is not a good thing to take out too much money by themselves.

So there was nothing to say at this table, and after the meal, Chang Yankang asked: "What are Lang'er's plans to go home this time?" Xiao Lang recalled the vast past and didn't know how to answer, so he only said: "Business outside is getting worse and worse, and I only plan to honor my parents at home." ”

Chang Yankang said: "Then you are willing to go to the dart game to do things, I am very familiar with the big dart head of the dart board, I will intercede, let you go to be a dart guy inside, and there will be three or four taels of monthly money." ”

Xiao Lang said: "That's very good, but I'm afraid I can't do it if I don't know martial arts." "Xiao Lang is a master of making knives. However, if he deliberately conceals it, then others will not be able to see his martial arts, and concealing his martial arts is one of the requirements of the killer.

Chang Yankang said: "Don't be afraid, you only follow me, it doesn't matter if you can do martial arts, and I will slowly teach you the general self-defense kung fu in the future." ”

Xiao Lang should have accepted it, maybe he should really cultivate for a while, even if he has to find the Soul Breaking Knife in order to repay his kindness, then he is slowly talking.

Since then, Xiao Lang has been a dart guy in the Changjin dart game. Escorting darts next to his brother-in-law every day, he has become a countryman after half a year. Brother-in-law taught him some rough martial arts when he was free, Xiao Lang was shrewd and conscientious, and was soon valued by the big dart head, selected as an assistant, and handled various dart affairs with him every day.

Changjin Dart Bureau is a small dart game, and it is nothing more than a small dart escort every day, but it has also done a good job under the management of Lu Tianshi, the big dart head. Business is booming.

Winter goes to spring, the grass in the countryside is green again, and Xiao Lang has been home for a year. His parents had already begged for him to kiss, but they said that Qiu Hong, the daughter of Qiu Asi, a blacksmith in a village far away, said in the photo. So the second elder went to propose his own marriage, and Qiu Asi heard that Xiao Lang was doing things in the Changjin Dart Bureau, and he could be regarded as having a good job, so he responded.

Xiao Lang returned home that day. His parents immediately told him the good news. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lang didn't say a word, and closed the door since he entered the house and didn't come out. The mother was afraid that her son did not like it, so she said: "If the prodigal child should not." I'll go back!"

Xiao Lang said: "Wait until I think about it!" There was no sound outside the house. Xiao Lang sat on the edge of the bed in a depressed manner, remembering Lu Xiaomin in his heart, but Yin and Yang were separated, and he might only be able to marry in the next life. The silence of this year made him feel extremely fulfilled, maybe it was a day when he was away from the rivers and lakes, although he promised to repay Ji Qianning's life-saving grace and find the Soul Breaking Knife for her, but this was a very slim thing. The legend of the Soul Breaker has been passed down for decades, but no one has ever been able to find it.

When it was time to eat, Xiao Lang had already made his own decision, and he agreed to the marriage.

People who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time will always want to live an ordinary life, especially those who have been hit like Xiao Lang.

The wedding took place half a month later.

The candles in the cave room, everything is red, red clothes, red tents, red turbans.

When he entered the room, Xiao Lang was already drunk, this was the time he drank the most in the year, there was still wine on the table in the room, Xiao Lang drank another glass, and soon he fell drunk to the ground.

The bride under the red turban couldn't sit still anymore when she heard the sound of Xiao Lang falling to the ground, she took the turban and walked to help Xiao Lang. She is Qiu Hong.

Qiu Hong's face was very red, and he couldn't tell whether it was the color of shy or the color of rouge. But one thing is for sure, Qiu Hong is also a beautiful woman, and there are very few women as beautiful as him in the countryside.

Qiu Hong helped Xiao Lang to the bed, rubbed his forehead with a wet towel, and sobered him up.

Xiao Lang quickly woke up and saw a woman beside the bed looking at him fixedly. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in my heart: This familiar face, familiar figure, is Lu Xiaomin, yes, it's her, am I dreaming. Following the thought, Xiao Lang grabbed the hand in front of him and called, "Xiao Min, you made me think so bitterly!"

"Lang Jun, what's wrong with you, who is Xiao Min. Qiu Hong's voice pulled Xiao Lang back to reality. Looking at the woman beside the bed, her delicate face was flushed, but it was not Lu Xiaomin. Xiao Lang said secretly: "It's my eyes that are spent, Xiao Min has already left." ”

"Lady, I'm sorry, I drank too much and got dizzy, so you can't have a good rest. Xiao Lang sat up as he spoke, and the years of killer life made him wake up faster than ordinary people even if he was drunk, and his wine was already half awake.

Qiu Hong brought him tea, and he drank it all. It was only now that he could see clearly the wives his parents had given him. At the same time, Qiu Hong was also looking at him fixedly.

"Lang Jun, do you remember me?"

This question evoked Xiao Lang's memories, and he seemed to have really seen the woman in front of him before. I just can't remember the details.

"Two years ago, the concubine and her father went to Taihu Lake to visit relatives, and they were stolen in the inn, and they couldn't pay back the money for the store, and the store wanted to sell me into the Qinglou, you saved me!"

After she mentioned it, Xiao Lang remembered this, when he was on a mission in Taihu Lake, he encountered this incident on the road, and heard that the accent of the two was from his hometown, so he shot away the thugs in the inn and gave the father and daughter two silver taels.

Qiu Hong continued: "I've begged the Bodhisattva for a long time, I really saw you, but I didn't expect it to be still there-" Her face was already full of red tide.

Xiao Lang said: "You can't tell others about this. ”

Qiu Hong said: "I know that you are a very powerful person, your experience must be extraordinary, if you don't let me say it, I won't tell anyone." Looking at Qiu Hong's serious appearance, Xiao Lang thought silently: "Could it be that this is really the will of heaven, maybe my fate has been destined for my life." ”

"Lang Jun, are you tired, are you going to sleep in my door?" Xiao Lang nodded.

The candle went out, and Xiao Lang seemed to feel that he was going to live his life like this. However, fate did not arrange him in this way. (To be continued......)
