"It seems that Xiao Tang is going to retire from our profession for the time being." Lao Sanjin smacked his lips, reached for a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed cake, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, with a happy look on his face. Although Lao Sanjin is also very good at drinking, he is not as good as he was when he was young. Now that autumn is here and the heart is restless, it is always time to nourish the liver and lungs, so today I put down my wine glass and ate the food brought by Da Mocheng. pastries.
"Staying in this business is not a long-term solution after all," the boss said with a smile, holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea and walking out of the carriage, looking at the slope with wild chrysanthemums blooming from a distance, with a smile on his face, "I remember when this boy came here At that time, he was carrying a long sword with a handle similar to his own, which is equivalent to Yun Zhong's current age. He has been here for more than ten years. I'm afraid that except for you and me, the seniority in the caravan The oldest one will be Xiao Tang."
"When I was in the city, I met that girl once. She was in charge of the nine-story library in the city, and she was the daughter of a famous family in the city. In this way, the family must have plenty of money, which is a good thing. "Lao Sanjin twisted his beard with joy, and happily took out another snack from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth. God knows how much food this burly Lao Jianghu took from Mocheng. Everyone in the caravan only knew that Lao Jianghu In the past half month, Sanjin has never broken the pieces around his mouth.
The head of the house also smiled when he heard this. Although the autumn wind was gradually picking up outside the car tent, this hot cup of chrysanthemum tea made the cool breeze lose most of its chill. "That is naturally a good thing. Who would have thought that we... Among the poor brothers, there is no one who can capture such a handsome and well-connected wife. Ordinarily, Xiao Tang’s face is not superior to others, and his temper is even weirder. If this matter were left to Yun Zhong, I would feel guilty. The door is only placed on Xiao Tang, but I was a little unexpected."
"The old sour scholar's words are biased. Even if our Xiao Tang is not a handsome man with extraordinary appearance, we can't be considered a crooked and evil man. Let me see, that girl married Xiao Tang, no? Lose." Compared with the master, Lao Sanjin was not willing to hide it. Now that he finally had a great opportunity to stab the master, he naturally had to say something.
The head of the house patted the broken chrysanthemum leaves on the outside of his chest and abdomen, curled his lips and said, "I have never said that the girl was in trouble. After careful calculation, for almost ten years, we, a group of old caravan men, have built various cottages and bandits in the past ten years. I have gone through dozens or hundreds of times, and Xiao Tang has contributed to all of them. Who would have thought that a person as short as a bean stalk can really carry a long knife similar to his own length to kill people."
"It was indeed hard for Xiao Tang to let go of what happened back then," Lao Sanjin also sighed. "It's a pity that the bandit's den back then has probably disappeared long ago, and it's hard to find any trace of it."
"It's better to block than to open up. There are many depressions in the heart that will be resolved sooner or later. In the final analysis, our caravan is no different from those escort traffickers. In the final analysis, we belong to the bottom of the martial arts. You and I, one is a down-and-out scholar, and the other is a down-and-out martial artist. It's a good job to be in this business. But Xiao Tang is no better than you and me. It would be a pity that this superb martial arts and swordsmanship should remain in the caravan for a long time." The leader laughed at himself and looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky. Extremely lonely on the face.
"When the time comes, Boy Yun and Xiao Tang will just slap their butts and leave. The whole caravan will be a bit boring."
Tang Bufeng has been on good terms with Yun Zhong since then. Although his temper is still bad, he does have some of Yun Zhong's prudent attitude when dealing with others. The latter borrowed a lot of lively energy from Tang Bufeng and often discussed with him. The people in the team acted like a team, which added a lot of fresh energy to the caravan.
Lao Sanjin naturally thought about it, "There is no such thing as a night banquet that lasts for years. These mighty rivers and lakes must be handed over to these young people after all. Watch them leap from the river to the dragon gate, and they will be like sand when we sink to the bottom. If you open a flower outside the river and make countless splashes, you will brag to others in the future and your face will be bright."
The head of the family stepped into the carriage first and said leisurely: "It seems that I saved my life in Mocheng, and you put aside a lot of worry in Mocheng. In the final analysis, we both made a lot of money. This trip We have really gained a lot of benefits for nothing. It is wonderful to open a flower outside the river where we have sunk to the bottom as silt, but we are not all in vain. The more the silt accumulates, the more the river tide will be lowered. Wherever we go, it can only be one wave after another.”
For the first time, Lao Sanjin raised his thumb and grinned, "Grandma, if you put it this way, we can be like a saint together."
"Shit, you can definitely rival two saints." The head of the house put the teacup aside. He was obviously drunk for no reason at all, even though he hadn't had a drop of wine in his head at night.
Slightly drunk, a horse came riding on the flowers.
Yunzhong had a good night's sleep.
The reason was that Qiu Hu had hurt his abdomen yesterday, and he really didn't have any energy left to breathe. When the pain that made him bend his back passed, he ran back to the carriage to rest with his sword in hand. I slept until daylight.
"Wake up, hey, look at how sloppy you look. You don't know how to take care of the dreadlocks on your head. If you continue like this, I'm afraid that by the time you ask for a wife, my son will have to go out and wander the world." A lazy voice said As soon as there was a sound, the curtain in the carriage was opened, and the bright light made the young man's eyes hurt, so Yun Zhong didn't even look at it, but slapped a palm in the direction of the voice.
"I was scared all the way, and finally got to the place. Can I suffocate you to death by letting me sleep for a while? There are two jars of Shuoshu wine behind me, so drink it up." The young man turned over impatiently and buried his head. In the thick clothes, I will fall asleep again.
"Don't drink. I'm sorry for drinking you all the way." Tang Bufeng chose a place to sit down and said slowly.
Yunzhong really couldn't sleep this time.
Ever since the brothers had a fight in Qiling, Tang Bufeng had never been polite. Even if Yun Zhong sometimes asked him for drink money as a joke, the prodigal swordsman never showed any sign of losing his temper. But today But he said these words for no reason.
Tang Bufeng's temperament was that he never wanted to be separated from his peers.
Yun Zhong stood up, put on the thick clothes, and then picked up a corner and handed it to Tang Bufeng. Autumn was rising, and even though the sunrise outside was so bright that it spread into the carriage, it still failed to add any warmth to the body.
"Are you really asking your wife to be kidnapped and run away? In my opinion, the head of the family and senior Sanjin will not agree. Besides, the situation when returning is not yet known. If we encounter any bandits, without you being an expert in using a knife, I'm afraid If something changes, it’s better to go back to Qiling Shangyi and make a decision before it’s too late.”
Although Yun Zhong had just woken up, these words seemed very reasonable to everyone.
