When leaving Taoyuan Island, Yan Jiaqing raised his finger again and again on the road and praised Yun Zhong for doing a good job. He said that at first he pretended to be a murderous scum in order to force the woman not to dare to get close to her, but to stay away in the end. Fortunately, it would be best to not have any more thoughts, but it still didn't work. That is when the edge changed again, from the scum of the world who deliberately pretended to be a knife-edge licking blood, to the young hero who already had a sweetheart, although the woman was still the same. I'm reluctant to give up, but in any case, I can still save some face. This step forward and back is quite a feat.
Yun Zhong, however, didn't think so. He just shook his head and said, in fact, Yan Xiaowu was quite enamored with that woman. He had seen this look many times. Most of the time when he looked at Miss Wen, he had the same look. It's a pity that some things don't always go well with people's hearts. In the end, the childhood sweethearts who seem to others have to be exposed to the heavy snow together to see how they grow old.
"It's better to read less of the scripts," Yan Jiaqing rolled his eyelids and looked down upon them. "The dramas on the stage of the Book of Songs are actually much more realistic than those in the scripts. Nowadays, these literati are making money with their writing skills. , it all takes a lot of effort, not to mention that writing about the people in the book is smooth sailing. At least it requires greater ability than ordinary people, always putting on a posture of not bullying the poor young people, and uttering a few impassioned sentences. Cruel words, and within three or two years, people who have achieved success in practice or martial arts will knock on the door to regain their face. It seems that the longest person is majestic, but most people who have truly entered the practice have a good character. Far higher than ordinary people, how can you always keep your tongue at the tip of your tongue? What's more, life will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. If you have to write about people as if they were idle, then that would be the most boring thing. "
"Childhood sweethearts, we can't see the end yet, let alone practice. If we have to watch the drama of those people blocking the murderous Buddha and blocking the killing Buddha, it would be good to calm down and feel sad. But if we are obsessed with this, who would be willing to do it again? Look at the current unsatisfactory life, living in a state of confusion all day long, it’s no better than walking in a virtual world, and in the end it’s still an empty dream.”
It seemed that Yan Jiaqing suddenly remembered something interesting, so the chicken thief came to Yun Zhong and smiled and said, "In this time of life and death confrontation, if you think of those story books, the immortal family killed all the enemies with one sword, can it give you some courage?"
"That's natural, but after you become more courageous, your sword moves will usually become chaotic for a while, and they may not be as exquisite as the original sword moves." Although the young man did not want to hear Yan Jiaqing's words, he still told the truth and leaned against the car tent. Bi, "It is said that drinking makes people brave, but in fact, it is better to draw a sword after drinking. It is better to do it in moderation. The season of the move becomes smoother and smoother, and you can get a little clarity out of thin air. But if you drink too much, you will be as drunk as mud." , I have to forget most of the countless rules and swordsmanship, so there is no way I can fight back."
Yan Jiaqing followed the example of a young man, leaning his shoulders against the tent of the bumpy car, shaking his head and smiling, half-squinting his eyebrows, "So, what I said is not wrong at all. Instead of hiding myself in the shadow of others, I feel hopeless." Seeing the vastness of the world and the vastness of the rivers and lakes, it is better to go out of your home and practice swordsmanship or spear training. Even if you only have a small taste, you have to go and see it yourself. Worshiping Taoist temples and Buddhist temples requires several years of asceticism, let alone worshiping. Jianghu, worship the world."
Yun Zhong looked at the old god with a strange expression, looking at the scholar who was leaning firmly against the wall of the car tent, teasing the yellow dragon on his shoulder with two fingers. The latter twisted its long tail hard and landed on the scholar's cheek, leaving a mark, and then It turned into a yellow rope, no longer willing to pay attention to Yan Jiaqing's teasing, and hung lifelessly on his shoulder without any movement.
"I am a merchant, what do you do with swordsmanship?" Yun Zhong suddenly said this. Even though it made Yan Jiaqing frown, he did not refute it. Instead, he closed his eyes and listened quietly to what the young man said.
"Actually, sometimes it's not that I don't want to see the world, nor is it that when I'm in trouble, I need to use my words to relieve my worries. If this is the case, then people in the world are too narrow-minded. In fact, they are just trying to be happy and meet other people. In life, those who can understand their own minds will understand their own minds. Those who do not want to waste their energy can only look at it from a distance, which can increase their horizons. It can even be regarded as a leisure time and a little leisure. It is not easy to be born, let alone If a penny can stump a heroic man, who can spare a lot of energy and energy to practice martial arts and enter the world besides doing business?"
"See if it's okay, then just leave."
The young man looked at the flowers and weeds lying outside the car tent window, stretched his waist and abdomen, and immediately felt comfortable. Then, regardless of whether Yan Jiaqing answered or not, he spread out his pen and ink, sat down on the bumpy car tent, and wrote strokes one by one. Holding a pair of formation rubbings given by Wen Yu, a civet cat came out of the package in a daze. He bared his teeth twice in annoyance at Yan Jia Qing. He also stretched his waist and abdomen, pushed his shoulders almost to the back of his head, and shook his head. He climbed up to the young man's shoulder and looked at the yellow rope on Yan Jiaqing's shoulder.
A yellow rope hung on the scholar's shoulder, and a civet cat sat on the boy's shoulder. The civet cat washed its face with its paws, and just looked at the pen and ink in the boy's hand quietly, making outlines. The small symbols were like the heads of flies, and the big symbols were like the flow of a river.
Yan Jiaqing had no reason to lick his lips and let the wine moisten his throat, but he really wanted to change with the young man in front of him. He asked the young man to carry the yellow rope and borrowed the civet cat to play with.
But after all, it’s just a thought.
"Nangongshan, I feel sorry for you. If I had worked harder when I was young, I might have become a great talent who started from a humble family, instead of struggling in this world without knowing what the future holds. .”
The young man concentrated his attention, finished the two strokes in front of him, then raised his head and smiled at Yan Jiaqing, "Come on, with my city and vision, it is enough to be a patrol officer in an ordinary government office. If I am lucky enough to enter the officialdom, I will have a big body." The bones may not be left, so let those smart people take them apart and eat them to their fullness. Besides, I don’t have any knowledge in my belly. If it were a senior brother, he might actually be able to show off his talents."
Ning Quan'an was driving, but he just hung Yunzhong's messy-coated horse on the carriage tent. With his own strength, he actually pulled the entire carriage tent and three of them, and he didn't even look at it when he was running. Instead of exerting effort, his steps became more brisk. The chariot shaft was caught by the wind and he could jump five to six feet in an instant. There was no need for the man to hold the reins hard, but he ran wildly along the road until his mane was soaked with sweat, and then he slowly lowered down. pace.
The original trip took three to five days, and nearly half of it was covered in one day. Even Ning Quan'an had seen such good horses with fat hooves and high shoulders. The strength of this mixed-haired horse of unknown origin still made the man strong. Really surprised.
During the night rest period, the work of keeping watch naturally falls on the shoulders of men. After all, Yan Jiaqing has never been polite, not to mention that Ning Quan's life is now in Yan Jiaqing's hands. He doesn't dare to complain at all, so he prepares soup and dry food. Later, he actually took out six or seven peach red snacks from the package he brought with him and placed them in front of the two of them. He said that the skin of these snacks was made of fresh peach blossoms, garnished with honey, and supplemented with red beans. It was the most refreshing snack. , seeing the two of them in a hurry, he went to the middle boundary of Taoyuan Island and bought some for temporary use.
Yan Jiaqing was the most careful, using his magical power to peer into it, and found that there was nothing strange. He took a step ahead of the young man and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and stuffed it into his mouth. However, his expression suddenly changed. He frowned and looked at the man. The yellow rope on his shoulders shook and he was already standing up. More than three feet away, he seemed to notice something strange in the peach blossom cake.
The young man was suspicious. Yan Jiaqing had always had a plain temperament. No matter what was strange about the peach blossom cake, he shouldn't have such an expression. Even though he was frowning and watching, he was in no rush to take one.
The scholar finally swallowed the cake, but his frown became more and more obvious, almost forming two knots. His expression was solemn, and then he quickly fetched a jar of wine, took two sips, smacked his lips, and picked up another piece. He held the crumbs in his left palm and stuffed them into his mouth after a few mouthfuls. He swallowed them after a long time and grinned.
"I didn't taste it just now, but now I feel that it is really delicious."
Yun Zhong was suddenly discouraged. He released the hilt of the sword from his waist and rolled his eyes. He also stepped forward to pinch a peach blossom cake and put it in his mouth.
The red beans are used as the filling, and there are not many decorations. The best thing is that the red beans are boiled and ground until soft, slightly mixed with honey, and the fresh peach petals are broken open and beaten into a puff pastry. Suddenly enlightened, the fragrance is intoxicating and melts without being greasy.
No wonder Yan Jiaqing would rather put on airs than give up a piece of dough to grab two peach blossom cakes first. The taste was indeed very good. Lian Yunzhong had been in the capital for a long time and had been to several of the best restaurants in the city, but he had never tasted such a taste. After tasting the snacks carefully, his brows were raised.
When the breeze goes with the wine, the wine becomes crispy.
In fact, for people who like to drink, no matter whether it is all the things in the world or the various wonders in the world, whether they are sad or happy or sorrowful or joyful, they can all be used to drink, not to mention the taste they have never tasted before. It was suitable for drinking, and there were only three or four peach blossom cakes. Yan Jiaqing drank two or three jars of wine, and then went to bed with his clothes on contentedly. However, this time he took off the yellow rope and put it on his chest. After a while, he started snoring loudly. The noise made the bastard almost furious, and he rushed forward and stepped on it with a few hooves.
However, when I saw the yellow rope on the scholar's chest, I was a little wary after all, so I had to find a secluded place by myself, lowered my head and fell asleep.
Beside the bonfire, only the young man and Ning Quan'an were left. The latter was fiddling with the charcoal fire. Seeing that the young man still hadn't fallen asleep and was still sitting cross-legged, it seemed that the positive energy was flowing to all the apertures around his body, he could only sigh inwardly. More words.
"It was better back then. At least suspicions and calculations are common. People often don't want to use them on poor people. But if this person comes out of his confusion and starts suspicions and calculations, he will be there in an instant."
The young man did not lose his breath, but slowly opened his eyes and looked at the bonfire.
