Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 152 Smoke and Rain Qionglou (9)
Just when Gu Xueqing was bored and temporarily left the bench and walked to the front of the mountain to watch the mountains and ravines, in front of the mountain of the village, there was a thin but very tall man, who finally returned to the village after walking for a whole day and a night and after two years.
The reason why "again" is used here is quite complicated, so I will not repeat them here, but in fact, all those past and journeys, when this man changed into this clothes woven for him by a woman from the township, there was no need to elaborate and describe, because everything here has long become another destination in his heart.
It stands to reason that since the thin man was wearing the unique men's clothes in the township, he could naturally get unhindered along the way, but when he entered the village not long after, he was stopped by the first person he encountered.
The person who stopped him was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, but he had lived here since he was born, his skin was dark and rough, and he looked like a person who had experienced countless days of wind and sun.
After the middle-aged man stopped the tall man, he directly put on a straight face and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, you dare to pretend to be a villager from my township!"
It was the shopkeeper who opened a tea stall in Qiulu Village who saw that the other party no longer knew him, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had to open his mouth and reply: "Uncle Erye, you don't know me so soon?" I'm Shen Zhu, when I got married, I still remember that it was Uncle who helped deliver food!"
After hearing this, the man named Erye immediately fell into deep thought, and then glanced at Shen Zhu in front of him very seriously, and then suddenly said: "It's bamboo! It turned out to be you, it's you back, oh my God, but why did you lose weight like this? I said that when I saw you for the first time, there was still a hint of familiarity, but I couldn't remember it, it turned out to be really you." ”
Shen Zhu saw that the other party finally remembered him, and he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, but was a little embarrassed.
After he pondered for a while, he sighed and replied: "Didn't I get sick before, and it hasn't gotten better for more than ten years, which has caused the whole body to become thinner and thinner, hey, this is also a helpless thing." ”
After hearing this, Erye sighed with a heavy face, and then asked, "Is your condition better now?"
Shen Zhu smiled and replied: "Okay, my illness has been cured, although it has only just been cured, but I can feel that my whole person's mental energy, strength, and endurance have returned, I think as long as I take some time to recuperate my body in the future, I should have a chance to gain weight again." ”
When Erye heard him say this, he was also sincerely happy for him, and said with a smile: "Then you went back to your hometown this time to tell Yun Niang that you have recovered?"
Shen Zhu nodded and replied: "Yes, Yun Niang has worried a lot about my illness over the years, and even she has traveled almost the entire Lingzhou in order to help me find all kinds of Langzhong, this kindness, even if she is my wife, I always keep it in mind, I dare not forget it, now that my illness is cured, I naturally want to tell her the news as soon as possible, so that she can relax a little, but speaking of which, I haven't seen her for two years, and I don't know if she is doing well now." ”
Although everyone lives together in the same village, Zhong Yun is the head of the family, and the residence is not close to the village on the mountainside, as an ordinary villager, Erye naturally can't see her from time to time, so he doesn't dare to comment on it. He just smiled and said: "Uncle doesn't know about this, Yun Niang has always lived in a simple house over the years, and we rarely see her, so you better go and see it yourself." After Erye finished speaking, he paused before he continued to smile: "However, since Zhuzi, your illness has been cured now, then when your body is stronger, you can go back to the village to have a look, otherwise, the people in the village will not recognize you." Okay, Uncle still has to go to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables and come back to eat at night, if you go back late, you also know your aunt's temper, haha. ”
After Shen Zhu heard this, he hurriedly replied with a smile: "You must come back more, then Uncle Erye, you can go and be busy." ”
The chance encounter with Erye was just a small episode on the long journey, but this brought a burst of warmth from home to Shen Zhu, who had just returned here, and this warmth was undoubtedly inclusive and long.
Shen Zhu retracted his attention, stopped in front of the mountain gate, and took a very serious look at the ancient village in front of him that had gone through countless years, looking at the smoke that was rising at the moment, and couldn't help but take a soft breath.
Refreshing.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated, raised his feet and continued to walk slowly towards the highest point of the mountain in front of him.
......
After Zhong Yun just hastily put on a coat and walked out of the boudoir, and looked down on the corridor, but still failed to see Xiaoman's figure, a trace of suspicion flashed on her face that was still not completely flushed, thinking where did this girl go?
She did not immediately turn around and go back to her boudoir to continue her fun, but slowly descended the wooden stairs from the wooden staircase, and when she came downstairs and was about to walk out of the main hall, she suddenly remembered that because she was in too much hurry to return home in the morning, and she was injured at that time, she casually put the guqin nanfeng on the table in the main hall.
Then, Zhong Yun, who came to the main hall completely, really saw her sister with dull eyes, and her eyes were locked on the table in disbelief, and the south wind that had been cut off four strings was watching, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she was too careless.
However, she also did not expect that Xiaoman, who had not been here for almost half a month, would suddenly visit this evening.
Zhong Yun pretended to be calm and paced towards his sister, and then said, "Xiaoman, why are you here, is there something wrong?"
After Xiao Man heard this familiar voice, she came back to her senses from the shock of the damage to the holy relic, she didn't answer Zhong Yun's words, but asked directly: "What's going on, why is it above the south wind, why did the four strings of the palace, Shang, Jiao, and Zheng be broken?"
When Zhong Yun heard this question, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she couldn't tell her that she was taking this guqin to intercept and kill a young man passing by Qiulu Township, and she didn't succeed, but was forced by the other party to break the strings to protect herself.
But she knows Xiaoman's character very well, and the other party is definitely the kind of character who breaks the casserole and asks to the end.
Looking at the other party's queen who was eager to know the answer, Zhong Yun sighed in her heart, and could only casually find a seemingly reasonable statement, and lied: "That...... This south wind due to the inheritance of too long, sister recently found that it in the pitch, there is a serious problem, this is not just these days to have leisure time, so take it to the skilled craftsmen under the mountain, to see if you can let the instrumental masters to retune it, where did I think that the masters said that the south wind on the pitch is abnormal, originally because the strings are too old, the first four strings need to be replaced, no, I can only let the masters remove them first. ”
When Xiao Man heard this, he looked at his sister like a liar, which couldn't help but make the latter feel a little empty-hearted.
Xiaoman opened his mouth and asked, "What my sister said, is it all true?"
Zhong Yun saw that she doubted herself, and said in a stern and dissatisfied tone: "Of course it's true, when did my sister lie to you? And this kind of thing, what does my sister have to lie about you, as long as it takes some time, when the masters are looking for excellent quality silk, you can reinstall the strings." ”
Xiao Man saw that his sister was so fierce to him without saying a word, as if he had been greatly wronged, when even crystal clear tears emerged from her sparkling eyes.
When Zhong Yun saw her like this, she realized that her tone seemed to be a little too harsh, and she directly cried her, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Although she said that she was just a sister to her sister, because of the age between the two, there was a big difference, why didn't she treat her sister on the surface, but more often, she could only raise each other as a daughter? Therefore, when Zhong Yun saw Xiaoman crying because she was reprimanded by herself, in fact, her heart would naturally ache together.
Zhong Yun did not hesitate, immediately stepped forward, and very regretfully put Chu Chu's poor crying Xiaoman's head on his shoulder, and then hurriedly said with relief: "Xiaoman, you will be a big child soon, why do you cry at every turn, let people laugh at you, okay, okay, Xiaoman doesn't cry, it's all my sister's fault, my sister shouldn't murder you, but you are really, how can you still doubt your sister." ”
The clothing of the women in the township is originally based on cyan, and the material is woven with linen, which can be said to be completely opaque, even in summer, when the clothes are relatively thin. However, when Xiaoman's head rested on Zhong Yun's shoulder, Zhong Yun never realized that the other party's face would inevitably touch her towering mountain after all.
So, Xiao Man was just hugged into Zhong Yun's arms, but in an instant, she felt a familiar and shy softness on her face, which couldn't help but make her break away from the other party's arms again.
Xiaoman is also a woman, and her own development is also quite good, so she is naturally quite sensitive to whether Zhong Yun is wearing obscene clothes at the moment. Her face was flushed, she had never experienced anything between men and women, and her voice became weak, only to see that she hesitated for a while before she said to Zhong Yun: "Sister...... Sister, you're not ashamed......"
When Zhong Yun saw her like this, she didn't know the reason, and immediately said angrily: "My sister walked the mountain road for a day and a night, and she was resting just now, and it wasn't all you who woke me up by yelling, and I was afraid that you would be impatient, if you couldn't find me for a while, I was running around, so I hurriedly put on a coat and got up to see you, you little girl, not only was she not grateful, but she also made fun of my sister." ”
While speaking, Zhong Yun also pretended to be annoyed and reached out to pinch Xiaoman's blown-up face, and then couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that his sister had inadvertently become a delicate flower that was about to bloom.
Xiaoman couldn't help his sister's teasing, so he could only forcibly choose to dodge, Zhong Yun saw that she was so shy, so she didn't choose to continue to advance, but just asked the former: "You haven't said it yet, what is the matter with coming to my sister this time." ”
Xiao Man saw that his sister was serious, and the shame on his face gradually faded, and then he asked the latter bluntly: "When my sister went to the bottom of the mountain to repair the piano yesterday, did she meet two young men who looked like scholars in a bamboo forest?"
Hearing the other party ask this question, Zhong Yun's face changed instantly, and in a trance, it was like a different person, she hurriedly asked Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, where did you hear this?"
Xiao Man saw that her sister was so excited after hearing this question, she couldn't help frowning, in her impression, her sister has always been unsurprised when facing anything, and it is almost difficult to see the other party show this appearance. However, Xiaoman did not choose to hide it, he still maintained an innocent face, and replied bluntly: "I listened to what those two scholars said personally!"
"What are you talking about!" Zhong Yun immediately exclaimed when she heard this answer, she grabbed Xiao Man's hand and asked, "Where did you see them?"
Xiao Man was suddenly held tightly by the other party, and couldn't help the strength of the other party at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a pain, her face was a little painful and said, "Sister, sister, you hurt me." ”
Zhong Yun heard the other party say this, only then did she realize why she was messed up, and hurriedly let go of the other party's hand, she took a deep breath, and tried to calm the emotions on her face, before she asked softly: "I'm sorry, it's my sister who is a little excited, but Xiaoman, tell me quickly, where did you meet them, this matter is very important to my sister." ”
Xiao Man stretched out his right hand and rubbed his painful wrist with a resentful face, and on the other hand, he replied: "Just in front of the mountain gate of our village, those two scholars said that they were here to find my sister, but because our village does not welcome people, I will let them wait at the door first, and I will come to discuss with my sister first." By the way, sister, do you want to see them?"
Zhong Yun saw the little man in front of her, completely unaware of the stakes involved in this matter, and was a little speechless in her heart, but she really couldn't explain the reason to the latter, after all, her sister was really just a mortal, and even the latter didn't know that she was a powerful sword cultivator.
Zhong Yun quickly thought about how to deal with this matter in her mind, she never thought that the other party would really dare to chase and kill in the village, and it was only one night apart, but since the other party knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains, then she, as the patriarch of the entire township, naturally had no reason to be afraid, you know, in this township, she was not the only cultivator.
In the end, Zhong Yun, who had been thinking about countermeasures in his mind for a long time and had secretly made up his mind at the same time, replied to Xiao Man with a smile: "See, of course you want to see them, you go and invite those two scholars here, my sister will go upstairs to change clothes first." ”
Xiao Man didn't feel the strong murderous aura in her sister's smile at all, but according to her own innocence, she replied happily: "Great, then I'll go and ask Xu Gongzi to come up." ”
Zhong Yun heard that among the two people, there was indeed someone surnamed Xu, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but surge with murderous aura, she nodded and said to Xiaoman: "Well, you go and invite them to come up, otherwise it will be dark in a while." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Man hummed happily, and quickly walked through the courtyard from the main hall, and then passed through the gate outside the courtyard, and went directly down the mountain.
Looking at the figure of her sister, she quickly disappeared at the end of the field of vision, Zhong Yun, who was having a good time with her lover, also lost all interest in an instant, she reached out and grabbed the south wind with only three strings left, and went directly to the second floor. What she didn't know, however, was that on the roof of her wooden house, there was a scholar who had heard everything she had talked to about with Xiaoman.
Xu Yan did not immediately make a move on Zhong Yun, but continued to observe her actions, because this wooden house was originally divided into two floors, so even if he opened the tiles before, he actually couldn't see the scene of the first floor at all, but when he heard the footsteps clearly, after the woman came to the second floor, he finally repeated his old trick, removed one of the black tiles on the roof, and revealed a narrow gap.
But the moment he removed the tiles, he saw a scene of great shame in the house at his feet.
The first thing that fell into Xu Yan's eyes was a handsome man who was naked and lying flat on the bed, and he just glanced at the latter, and found that this man's figure was very well-proportioned, not the kind of body that ordinary people could practice;
After seeing this scene, combined with the information he had learned in the past two days, how could Xu Yan not know that this very beautiful woman was the wife of the middle-aged man who opened a tea stall in Qiulu Village.
"Dude, I have to say that you are really miserable, not only was your wife planted Gu worms in her body shortly after marriage, but she also planted grass on your head. Xu Yan sighed in his heart, and then sighed secretly: "But don't worry, since this scene happened to be seen by me, then I will easily get rid of this adulterer and adulteress for you this time, so that you can die a well-deserved death, and it will be regarded as revenge for you." ”
After saying this, Xu Yan no longer hesitated, and directly controlled the mountain of leaves growing on the top of the mountain, all of which were coiled above his head.
Then, thousands of small sword qi gathered into a sword in an instant, shooting towards the house under his feet.
At the same time, after he smashed this sword qi madly in the air, he also controlled the martial arts true qi in his body, all of which were gathered in his hands, and then aimed at the handsome man in the house, and slammed it down with one palm.
