Drizzle and breeze, a rare good sky view.
In the normal season of Yizhang, the summer time is enough to kill many people. This kind of drizzle and breeze, the perfect weather that can move the willows, is really like setting up lanterns. It may not happen twice in a year. If it does, The sky has already opened its eyes and pity the people of the world who have been suffering from the hot summer for a long time. It has specially granted some benefits to those who have returned home or are busy outside. The sky view can last for several days, even for half a day, so we must not expect too much.
It rained once and the fire started for several decades. When the sky was completely comfortable, it was followed by several days of exposure to the sun. Not long after it landed, puddles accumulated in groups of two and a half, and it took less than half a day. There is no trace at all, and not even a trace may be left. It is like plowing the fields everywhere due to the locust plague. There are no traces of rain left. After the rain evaporates, this sky scene On the contrary, it was getting hotter and muggier. I was already sweating profusely after walking a hundred steps, and it was difficult to breathe smoothly. It was the most difficult time. Although we know that the weather will probably be even hotter and unbearable tomorrow, the good cool breeze and drizzle at this time will not be in vain. It has been many days since we have been down the mountain, and the distance to the eastern border of Yizhang has become shorter. It is rare for three people to cross the horse's hoof. Slowing down, I finally took advantage of the sky view to rest for a while, which made Li Fuan, who was the thinnest but most afraid of the hot weather, almost burst into tears. He thanked Zhao Yunzhong and Zhao Ziyang for their kindness, and thanked them again and again, regardless of their surprise. With a look on his face, he found a place in the bushy forest by himself, changed his clothes, fell down and fell asleep.
Yun Zhong also tied up the miscellaneous horse, but his expression did not seem to have improved at all. He still frowned deeply and continued to pull out the square picture scroll and read it carefully, not forgetting to grind the ink and add pens to make corrections. After spending about half an hour in several places, I put away my writing and walked to Zhao Ziyang who was resting against a tree. He stretched his waist and abdomen slightly, leaned quietly against a low tree stump, took out the gourd from his waist and drank two sips, so that the cuffs Rubbing the corner of his mouth, he threw the gourd into the hand of Zhao Ziyang, who was always staring at him with raised eyebrows.
"When you go out, you always have to study the mountains and rivers. It's so troublesome, so why bother?"
The swordsman in white didn't say anything. He pulled out his sword from his waist, cut the grass with ease, and swept out a clean area. He seemed to think that the sword was still sharp, so he took back the sword and replied with a smile, "I picked up the problem when I was traveling in the world. It’s not even a matter of knowing a little about the mountains, rivers and terrain here, and there’s nothing you can do about it until the time comes when it comes in handy. It’s better to make complete preparations, so that you can do things with ease, and at least have some confidence to deal with it.”
"Practice swords, practice, understand formations, get involved in all the big and small things in the world, and you have to carry the yellow dragon of unknown origin and raise it well. Furthermore, you have to worry about things in the mountains, share the worries of the mountain gate, and think about it. Many people never forget to draw when they go out, so don't they feel tired?" Zhao Ziyang asked back, squinting at his junior brother, not knowing what he was thinking, he leaned against the trees behind him and chatted casually.
Yun Zhong burst out laughing. He took the sword with its scabbard to the soil in the forest that was very soft after the rain. He shrugged and continued, "Nothing is easy in any profession. In such a sultry sky, the sun is still shining." It’s already unbearably hot all over the body even if it’s not the season, not to mention that cooking porridge requires guarding the pot all day long. When I first went to Yizhang Capital, I also saw those handymen, clearing snow in the middle of winter, In midsummer, if you splash water to cool down, you will either end up with a blood-red nose from the cold, or you will develop Sha from the heat. Often, a handyman who cannot wait for water to escape the heat will collapse on the side of the road. If there is a kindhearted person, he can bring him two Bowls of water, hold up one bowl and pour it down, and pour another bowl on your body to temporarily relieve the heat."
"But there are some people who don't care about this. Even if they see this person falling in front of them, they just say a few words that they should suffer this crime if they take this money. If they can't bear it, no one will force them, and they will not care about themselves. Every year, there are probably at least dozens of servants in the capital who have fallen down and never got up because of this. Although there is money available, there is a lot left after excluding funerals, which is enough to make the family live reasonably well. It's okay, but in the final analysis, people are gone when they are gone. Compared with people in these professions, compared with most people in the world, we can still see the world, although we have not seen such a big thing that cannot be seen in history books. In this world, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can spare a lot of time for practice, which I feel is a great blessing."
Hearing this, Zhao Ziyang touched his nose and really didn't know how to talk to his junior brother. He was silent for a while before talking again.
"To tell the truth, it's not easy for junior brother to catch up with Miss Wen. Not to mention the number of places he has to pass through. Based on what you said before, the Xumeng Mansion's reach is extremely far. I don't know how many dangers there will be on the way. With your current state, although for some reason it is half a head higher than the ordinary two states, it is hard to say whether you can handle it properly, and what should you do at that time?"
Yun Zhong remained silent.
The rain in the forest is getting heavier and heavier. At first, it was no more than a drop of hair, but now you can see the silver threads pulled out by the raindrops, raising the brows of the distant mountains and hiding the whereabouts of birds. In the deep forest, except for the sound of drops of rain, the only sound is birds. The sound makes the forest more quiet.
It was probably the force of the rain that woke up Li Fu'an who was sleeping peacefully in the forest opposite the two of them. The latter had just slept for a while and was woken up by the rain hitting his head and face. However, he did not care at all and continued to yawn. He stood up reluctantly. He took the coir raincoat and bamboo hat from the horseback, and covered the horse with a felt blanket. He then chose a shade tree shaded by a giant crown, covered his whole body with the coir raincoat, raised the bamboo hat and fell asleep again.
It was a tiring journey. It took me only a few days to go back to the mountain, but I had to go back down the mountain again before I could recover. Not to mention that I had been walking for many days with almost no rest. Of course, I felt extremely tired all over my body. Being able to sleep peacefully as if no one was around actually made Zhao Ziyang think highly of him.
Yun Zhong also looked at Li Fu'an, who had only been lying down for a few breaths and was snoring like thunder again, and chuckled after looking at him.
It is a bit far-fetched to say that a person who can sleep when he wants in front of others does not have many calculations in his mind, but it is better than a master who always takes things seriously. Such willful behavior always makes people feel more comfortable. . At least from Yun Zhong's point of view, since the third senior brother wanted to find his roots, he could always feel a little more at ease if he went with this person.
So Yun Zhong also followed Li Fu'an's example, got up, found some clean firewood and spread it under the tree stump, and handed a portion to Zhao Ziyang. He lay down on the tree stump himself, using the bundle as a pillow. He immediately felt much more comfortable. After a few days of hard work on the road, you can lose a lot of weight.
"The origin of the Bi Kongyou object was told to my third senior brother back then. The reason why it was obtained is still unclear to this day, but fortunately it is considered a heavenly object. It is usually used to transmit messages and has no other magical uses. Fortunately, this blue sky tour can roughly give some directions to the people who have received letters in the past. Although I don’t know the distance, at the worst, I can figure out the general direction. It is to go to the Eastern Border Country Gate and go straight to Dayuan. It is not a fast journey. , according to the speed at which the three of us were traveling, we might be able to catch up with Wen Yu before he leaves for Dayuan."
Zhao Ziyang really wants to ask, what can he do even if he catches up? It was easy to say at the beginning. Regardless of you and me, naturally the two of them can wipe out the enemy for one person. But with the current scene, I am afraid that even if Yun Zhong is really exhausted He sacrificed his life and cleared the road ahead for Wen Yu, but the latter probably couldn't change his mind.
Although neither Wu Shuang nor Yun Zhong mentioned this matter, Zhao Ziyang is Zhao Ziyang after all, and he has dozens of more eyes than ordinary people. How could he not know about these things on the mountain that cannot be hidden, not to mention that Yun Zhong originally He didn't quite know how to hide his thoughts, so in the eyes of his three senior brothers, even if they hadn't been exposed, his heart was clear.
After spending a lot of effort to hold back the words he wanted to say, Zhao Ziyang lay down lazily. He didn't care about Yun Zhong, who was holding a blue sky tour and his expression cheered up for a moment. What was on his mind now, but he inadvertently asked in a cold voice. .
"Is it really worth it to do this for others?"
"You are very shrewd sometimes. Why don't you think about the difference between going and not going? Can you really get an excellent ending as you think?"
Yun Zhong suddenly let out a strange breath, which did not reveal any sadness as Zhao Ziyang thought. Instead, he smiled very calmly.
"People say that flowers will bloom again, but people will never be young again."
"I know that I have little ability, but I still have to take a gamble. I can't always do the things that I know I can do. Maybe when I get old and my eyes are dim, I will naturally know what it means to obey the destiny and to go against it. Swallow the bitter pill, but it’s not the time to do that yet.”
"Doing something for a woman you really like is considered youthful, right?"
The rain was still falling unabated, but when Zhao Ziyang looked again, he only saw Yun Zhong's eyes that became a little happy for no reason under his bamboo hat. He immediately laughed to himself, drank the wine in the gourd, and threw a ball on the latter's head in annoyance. past.
"Damn it, you make me jealous."
The weather at Yizhang Border Pass was extremely bad today. It was rare to see the sun, but it was still muggy and hotter than in the past. Even the guards couldn't stand it. I don't know how much water I drank. In just half an hour, I was sweating from the heat. When the general went out, he still had to check the passers-by. Many people died inexplicably in the city in the past two days. I heard from the captain that they were like the spies from the Yuan Dynasty. Although they had not been punished, they had to brace themselves and add more energy. Check the people coming and going more carefully.
When a group of people entered the city side by side, they were stopped by the guards. There were seven people in the group, which looked extremely weird no matter what.
The seven of them were either missing an arm or a foot. There was also a blind master with gray eyes and ragged clothes, carrying a bamboo stick, an old man missing both ears, and another who was unable to walk. He is a very coy middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard.
The guard couldn't laugh or cry very much. In the past, he had seen many handicapped buskers, but now they were traveling together. He only asked briefly and then allowed them to go.
When a few people left, the guard looked at it casually and patted his colleagues who were too hot to open their eyes to take a look at this wonderful scene together.
All seven of them were disabled, and they all carried apes the size of two palms on their backs.
