As early as February, when the spring breeze was still chilly, two men from the Jianghu on horseback and carrying guns came to the border of Xia Song. The leader was so thin that it was hard to tell that he was weak. When the reins were tightened, the muscles in his shoulders were bulging. Even though the weapon behind his back was wrapped in oilcloth, he could roughly see that it was a long spear, with his feet in stirrups, and his expression was very at ease.
However, the one at the back was quite unworthy. He was unkempt and sleepy. During the horse riding season, he took out a bag of wine from his arms and drank it with the shriveled bread. Although he was carrying a long gun behind his back, no matter how elegant he was, Their postures were far inferior to that of the young man in front of him who looked very energetic, which aroused the glances of many passers-by. Originally, many girls looked at the young man in front of them and were somewhat attracted to him, but Immediately looking at the sloppy-looking and informal man behind him, he suppressed his thoughts again and didn't want to take another look at him.
The young man didn't know why, but he looked up and saw many women looking away. He smiled helplessly and didn't care at all. "For this reason alone, there is no need to look at it. It is not something that can be picked by others. There is no need to compare." It is a very bad thing for the three families to speculate on the wealth of the family based on the appearance of the person behind them, or their status in the world, so there is no need to keep it in mind."
Li San curled his lips, "You are not as good as me when you were young. You were always young and successful. Even if you look down on such actions, it is not a bad thing to be in the limelight. You are always happy and proud. With your current skills, you can be a There are more than enough masters in the world, but why do they not want to show off twice in front of others? After all, it takes endless effort to cultivate martial arts. If you don't want to be famous and famous, why practice it?"
The young man narrowed his eyes, slowed down his horse and turned back with a smile, "Uncle Li is good at joking. If you practice martial arts for the purpose of getting others to compile them into stories, spread a good reputation, or become famous all over the world for a while, then that has nothing to do with it. What's the difference between doing a show job and seeking to satisfy your hunger? It's not that the price has dropped, but it's like cutting ants with a knife and shooting a sparrow with a thousand arrows.
Everyone has this kind of thought, no matter what the origin of the young man who traveled far away with a gun, whether the slovenly man following behind him is a servant or an old friend, since there are such down-and-out people around him, I want to think about the one in front. The young man didn't have much ability, but his appearance was quite bright, so for a moment the girls around the city gate pretended to stop thinking and look elsewhere. After all, how could any prince or grandson who loves martial arts, or a reputable martial arts practitioner in the world, take such a slovenly servant with him? Good skin, but not much ability.
But no matter what the women or pedestrians around him said, the young man in front of him still looked very calm. He didn't even raise his eyes. He always looked at the place a few feet in front of him. The tired man chatted for a few words, and rarely smiled.
"You kid, don't you think the look in the eyes of those girls when they look at you is a bit like the willows blowing in the spring breeze?" The sloppy man curled his lips and cursed, "You are so careless and only care about practicing martial arts and shooting. , I am afraid that marrying a wife in the future will be a great disaster, which will really make people worried."
It seems to be very good, at least you can be happy for half a day. Even if it is dull, it can be regarded as lingering in your heart, making your liver and intestines tremble, and the tide in your chest keeps rising and falling.
Li San thought about the woman's thoughts, and then secretly looked at the women standing on both sides of the city gate. Their faces were more or less blushing, and they were whispering to each other in twos and threes, whispering to each other, and pouting in anger. , at the age of more than ten years old before leaving the palace, just a slight narrowing of the almond-shaped eyes, a moment of shyness, can make the onlookers lose their minds immediately, which can be said to be the most pitiful.
But there was only one young man with a gun, his shoulders were sharp, and he did not even raise his eyelids when he entered the city gate. It was clear that the bustling scene around him was still deserted, like a black spear with a coldness all over his body and biting his hand.
The implication of killing a chicken with a bull's-eye is not only not joyful, but also helpless. "
But Li San was indifferent, shook his head repeatedly, handed the wine bag forward, and looked at the backs of many girls. It turned out that they were entering the border area, and there were not many people standing on the main road. Most of them were standing on high buildings. Leaning on the fence and looking into the distance, the brocade shawls and spring clothes are getting thinner. Every time I see a young man or a young man who is very good-looking and whose clothes are made of valuable materials, he always stands on tiptoes to look carefully, purses his lips and smiles shyly, as if If he makes eye contact with those gentlemen, he will always feel ashamed and pull up his sleeves to cover half of his face.
Which boy's spring clothes are beautiful, whose girl's eyebrows are full.
The man once said that this big black spear already contains some tricks. This is not to say that he is pointing out that Zhao Ziyang’s master has no other tricks, but that this big gun has some background, maybe it’s due to his age. I have been so advanced that I can't figure out the origin, so I can practice the art of shooting a very high skill. In fact, I may not have learned anything famous. I only taught Zhao Ziyang the unscrupulous way of thinking when he is separated from life and death. It is enough to deal with most of the adversaries in the world.
If you practice spear very well, if you follow the rules in the past when fighting, you can only get seven or eight points. But if you follow the way of a man, you will risk your life when fighting, first determine the winner, and then decide life and death. , then two points of effort can be regenerated from ten points of effort, making it difficult to stop for a moment.
Even though Zhao Ziyang was accustomed to Wu Shuang's words in the mountains and often thought that undermining his techniques was against the rules of the world, he still had to frown and agree with the man's fallacy.
In front of and to the left and right of the body, there are strong barriers in ten directions, which are difficult to overcome by falling flowers, and flying flowers cannot touch even a single leaf.
Compared with other places, Xia Song can be said to be rich. The territory that was originally entered into the customs should be regarded as a barren land where the people lacked food and clothing. Although most merchants from all over the country passed through this place, it was difficult to count it in the end. The land is expensive, and farmers mostly rely on the pass, which is inaccessible and has abundant cultivated land. The land is not as wealthy as the merchants, so there are a lot of people wearing gold and silver walking through the streets, but if you look deeper, most of them are outsiders. , the local people are also poor. But Xia Song is different. Although they are often harassed by bandits and water thieves from the Eastern Islands, the people have always had plenty of money, and they are rarely in the dilemma of not having rice to cook. Every family can buy warm clothes, and they can get it everywhere. Full of food, even in areas near the pass that are quite poor and poor in other places, men and women often wear brocade clothes. Since entering the city pass, I have never seen anyone in ragged clothes.
At the end of Zhao Ziyang's year, he had already bid farewell to that grey-haired man. He left the continuous stone peaks in the south of Yizhang that looked like thousands of whips reaching to the ground. He followed Li Fu'an, nicknamed Li San, and walked around leisurely. summer pine.
Li Fu'an was not a drinker, but he seemed to be deliberately unwilling to pay attention to the three disciples of Nangong Mountain. He exhausted his brains along the way and came up with countless excuses. In the end, he simply bought twenty or thirty skins, which were filled with alcohol. He would drink so much that he would often become drunk within two or three sips. Even though Zhao Ziyang kept asking questions, he would always wrap his arms tightly around the horse's neck and sleep soundly for days to avoid the latter's questioning.
"Since you brought the gang leader to Xia Song territory, you can't escape the relationship. Even if you are prevaricating, you must always be satisfied, right?" Li Fu'an burped. He was already very drunk. When he got off his horse, he almost lost his temper. Unable to bear it, his stomach was churning, and he vomited out a calligraphy and painting. After calming down for a long time, he smiled slightly and said, "But you have to think carefully about your words. Although you have reached the third realm, you still have to be careful. Xia Song has always been a peaceful country and a peaceful people. He is kind and honest, but on the one hand, the laws are strict, and on the other hand, there are many immortals. If he violates taboos, ordinary people and practitioners are equally guilty, so it is best not to ask about some things."
In the last sentence, Li Fu'an seemed to be in a drunken state and was talking nonsense. However, after hearing this, Zhao Ziyang seriously stopped mentioning the matter. He stared at Li Fu'an for a long time, picked up his spear, and slowly went upstairs. .
Among the rivers and lakes, life is the most important thing. You can do no harm to people's thoughts when you are in trouble, but you must not be ignorant of the dirty tricks. At least when you encounter them, you need to always remember this trick. You must not lose your life after you have already suffered a loss. It will be too late to regret.
"Li Fu'an, you and I know that we have been going around here for more than two months, chatting a lot, but never mentioned anything about my family. What kind of thoughts are there."
Half an hour after entering Xia Songguan, Zhao Ziyang handed the reins of the horse to the waiter in the restaurant and ordered the latter to drink the horse and feed the grass. However, he turned to Li Fu'an, who was still sipping the wine in his bag, and his words were still cold and cold.
Xiasong Restaurant is a place with both water and land and people. Compared to Yizhang Restaurant, Xia Song Restaurant is much more particular. In the past, when the waiter was called from the frontier, he would usually tap on the table, which was considered the most etiquette. However, if it was noisy in the restaurant, the voices of people would The crowd is boiling, and you probably have to use a little more strength to knock on the edge of the table before you can force the waiter to come over. In this way, the whole restaurant is filled with the sound of table knocking, which is continuous, and it is really like the crowing of frogs in the pond in the late summer. noisy.
However, this is not the case in Xia Song Restaurant. Most of the ordinary gentlemen wave their folding fans in the direction of the waiter twice. Naturally, there are maids who are passing through the table. They first hand over a cup of hot tea, and then gently He said politely that the restaurant was busy now, and a waiter came to greet him afterward.
Zhao Ziyang noticed that there were small characters or birds printed on the corners of the table. When he listened carefully, he realized that after the maid handed the tea, she would probably go and tell the waiter whether it was the cuckoo table or the mandarin duck table, and then It didn't take a lot of effort, but the waiter naturally came forward, bowed and apologized again and again, and his words were quite measured.
Many people are born with Taoism, and their family dogs ascend to heaven. Many people never have enough to eat in their entire lives. They work hard and work hard, but it is not as easy as those who are born in the capital.
