Without any warning, a pouring autumn rain seemed to hit the north of Xia Song, and it was related to the lack of half a copper. It also included the outside of Xia Song Pass. It seems that the Shangjia Qingtian Sect has set off early in the past few days. Yanzhen rushed to live somewhere else, leaving only behind him his sleeves full of autumn rain, suffocating with the cold and carrying the coolness. He was like a shopkeeper with a hands-off attitude and landed in the territory of Xia Song Sancheng country, not to mention that many people cursed that this autumn rain was not the right one. when. Just in time for the autumn harvest, this autumn rain is coming very violently and wantonly. No matter what, it is reasonable to curse a few thieves angrily. God has no eyesight. Of course, for the border wanderers who have never done farming and mulberry planting, if there is a shield, Yu's residence can naturally be used to invite two or three friends to drink and chat, find some unwarranted excuses, get drunk, and sleep day and night, but it is also reasonable.
A fierce autumn rain, although not enough to be bone-chilling, still has the feeling of wheat awns poking your skin, which is not a pleasant feeling.
How could God, who has been told countless times by people since ancient times and cannot open his eyes, deliberately choose the right time to rain? The most indispensable thing in the world now seems to be people. If you want to make everyone content and applaud, 80% of it will happen. Even a saint couldn't do it, and Wen Yu and his party were trapped on the mountainside a few miles away from Honglu Pawnshop. Everyone was fine. Except for Peng Sanzhang and Qiao Xuan, Wen Yu and Xingding all had means to ensure that they could move forward unimpeded. However, most of the horses Xingding and Peng Sanzhang rode were too tired from traveling consecutively, so they were left alone. The man cracked his whip and just stood there with his eyes wide open, refusing to move even half a step.
Wen Yu, who always sat alone, was different from usual this time. The two of them almost broke their riding whips. Without saying a word, Wen Yu stepped forward, put his two fingers on the joints of the two horses' four legs, and immediately stood up and faced them. The two swept away.
"He has been in the Jianghu for a short time. The old man is from the Yuan Dynasty. How come he still doesn't understand horses? Such horses, which have been driven by others, are frightened and unwilling to move. Instead, they run wildly for days. The bones were almost broken, and now it is quite difficult to be able to stand on four legs with the broken bones. Even if the riding whip is broken, it will still be useless."
There is no shortage of good horses in the Yuan Dynasty. No matter who has a family, they may have brought them from the tribe, or they may have taken a fancy to the wild horses that deal with bears, tigers and wolves all day long. The most unrestrained and fierce wild horses are tamed into their own mounts, and from then on, most men in the Yuan Dynasty can only choose one horse in their lifetime, so they are most familiar with the temperament of horses. Wen Yu was Only by staying outside the Ziluan Palace for nearly a year can I fully learn all the symptoms of the horse's temperament. Now I saw the two horses taking steps, and then I pressed the horses' legs, and I immediately saw the lesions clearly.
If a horse breaks a leg, it is the same as death. Even a man from the Yuan Dynasty who knows how to treat horses is still unable to do anything.
"We haven't found a way to solve the problem of going to Honglu Pawnshop during this trip, so I'm not in a hurry to leave. It's better to rest here for a few days before making a decision."
Having said that, Wen Yu stood up and walked out of the deep forest for a few steps. He squinted into the falling autumn rain. After a while, he tapped his fingers slightly and walked toward the outside of the forest alone. Soon he could no longer find any trace of her.
Ever since Xing Dingxu and Wen Yu had no choice but to stand by Wen Yu's side, he has long been accustomed to this woman's cold temperament, and is even more familiar with the methods of doing things. It seems that he left without warning or killed the spies of the Xu Meng Mansion on his own. After hearing Wen Yu's brief description, he ignored Peng Sanzhang's strange expression and had no reason to settle down, lying comfortably in the dense forest of dense branches and criss-crossing yellow leaves. , with the decaying grass and dead branches holding up an empty space large enough to accommodate five or six people, it was time to sleep comfortably.
"Senior, Mr. Wen is leaving for no reason at the moment. Is it possible that he will have to wait here for success? If we delay, this Honglu Pawnshop is really in danger. If we really want to let the enemy take advantage of the situation, it may not be safe."
Romance
From the moment he met these two masters, Peng Sanzhang always felt puzzled by their words, which were almost like playing riddles. Sometimes Xing Ding would laugh sadly, and Peng Sanzhang would stand up countless chills all over his body. , and what made him most suspicious and distressed was that he didn't know why this old man who always carried a little ape on his back was laughing, so he felt even more creepy. He was about to ask a few more questions, but he didn't understand at all. The expressionless Xing Ding snorted twice and returned with a sarcastic expression.
"Save it for me, young man. You might as well go outside to get two handfuls of rainwater to wipe your face. It's best to rest peacefully. When I was young, I never felt that I was weaker than others. In front of me, there is a dragon in the plate, a tiger in the crouch, and the time when people leave." You must be very clear, tell me how many people are waiting here, that is, you have to wait, not to mention that you can't escape, I wish you could escape earlier, but you still can't escape."
Xingding asked himself if it was really impossible to break through Wen Yu's formation, so of course he didn't want to waste any more energy. He glanced at Peng Sanzhang in vain, turned over and was about to fall asleep.
Qiao Xuan was very relieved from playing these past few days. He was so tired that it was difficult to hold up his eyelids. He still hugged the rolling lamp in his arms that had not been refilled and simply fell asleep like this. Fortunately, Wen Yu broke the bamboo in the first place. The little girl had slept peacefully until now. She had woken up and looked at the pouring autumn rain outside her eyes. She had no intention of falling asleep again, but instead followed Wen Yu's instructions and rolled the lamp. The addition of candlelight really illuminated the sheltered area, which made me happy.
In Xingding's opinion, this is how a girl's family should be. It's human nature to be more romantic, and at least have a more lively temperament. Xiaojiabiyu is gentle and elegant, but no matter how suitable her appearance is, she has to lose 20%. As for Wen Yu and others If you have a good temper, and you still have someone you fall in love with, you will have to suffer a lot of the blame. The old ape slave shivered again and again. He really couldn't tell whether it was the autumn rain that brought the cold, or he remembered Wen Yu's tone of voice that had no slight rise and fall. He grinned and was about to fall asleep. Unfortunately, Qiao Xuan didn't give birth until he closed his eyes again. A little sleepy and bored, he picked up the little ape and gestured with it. He lingered for more than half an hour, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.
The ability to raise small apes in the mountains has not fallen short of Xingding for many years, but he is more focused than practicing. Maybe when talking with others, he may not be making gestures with the apes to better understand the meaning. After making gestures for a while, the little ape picked up his feet, squeaked and shouted at Xingding.
In the small building at the former site of the post house, the guests remained silent. Instead, they filled the room with people looking around. Without Wen Yu's advice or anything, they naturally saw the pair of leather-covered boots next to the head's sickbed. They thought they were nothing more than It was an ordinary pair of boots for traveling in the world. Now that I think about it carefully, they have hanging sash and a thin layer of felt wrapped around the deerskin. After making some gestures with the little ape, I seemed to have figured out many of them. Big or small, he turned his head and informed Peng Sanzhang, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, walked outside, hung his bamboo hat and sat under the tree.
"When did your eldest brother become an official?"
Peng Sanzhang was filled with doubts when he heard that, he shook his head and frowned, "My brother has never been an official. Although Honglu Pawnshop has become very powerful in recent years, it is difficult to distinguish it from the Jianghu business. Moreover, even if he knows the courtiers, how can he support them?" A shopkeeper outside Guanwai who is not from a high-ranking family."
I don't know how to play chess, but I heard a man who played chess with his eyes closed many years ago, and his chess skills are very good. He said that if you are a master, you will often take the wrong direction when playing chess, especially if you have unparalleled calculation ability. At first glance, when playing chess, There is loose sand underneath, and it looks nothing like a chicken or a dog. Only in the middle of the game does the layout appear. Only by relying on two or three moves to connect the entire chessboard, and there is no way to break it, can one be called a master.
The pair of official boots that were displayed naked in the small building first went to the village. The three men who had retired from the world made unprovoked remarks about making wine, rice, wine and koji. Together with the Honglu Pawnshop, which was hit hard for no reason, the The owner of the Honglu Pawnshop, who was seriously injured but could hardly breathe at all, and Wen Yu's polite words about making a comeback before leaving, suddenly fell down like countless scattered chess pieces, but for no reason. connected to the same place.
It's muddy outside the small building.
The leaves of the vines were destroyed by the skillful hands of the autumn rain, and all of them disappeared with the sound of rain. Only the people upstairs were guarding the empty table with only two glasses and a pot of wine, filling the glasses of the people sitting next to them, mellow. The wine pulp is higher than the eaves of the cup, and no trace is spilled.
"Listen to the autumn wind outside. In the blink of an eye, it's time to wear thick clothes, and it's spring and autumn again."
Peng Sanwu looked completely healthy, sitting alone at the table with his head bowed, but he was not in a hurry to refill his drink, and whispered to himself in a low voice.
"There is a small courtyard behind Honglu Pawnshop. It was the residence of our father before he took over the business. At that time, it was not our father's turn to be the future owner. I have not been willing to touch the furnishings in the courtyard for many years, especially It’s the old locust tree where the three of you and I were playing around. People say that locust trees attract ghosts. How can a child know so much? When the third child was still confined at home, he always tried his best to put you on the branch of a tree and tell you to look at it. Look at the Honglu Pawnshop not far away, and say that maybe the three of us can make the decision together in the future. Unlike the elders, there is no need for intrigue at all, how comfortable that would be."
The sound of rain hitting the tiles outside the building was continuous.
There were no lights in the building, Peng Sanwu's face was hidden in the night, only his eyes became brighter and warmer.
"Originally, I have paved this road broadly and securely, but you have to come back and I have no choice but to give you some business. The Chunfeng Gang is working with the Honglu Pawnshop, but you really shouldn't be friends with those old guys in the building. , is obviously just a down-and-out man, but there are always people who feel that no one can take this seat too much, like a gambler in a gambling house who makes a lot of money from betting, but wants to make more money elsewhere. Come more."
"As a brother, I don't blame you, so I picked those old guys with changeable minds first to find out some information for us in advance and tell my parents that they are safe. But as a brother, I really don't know what to do with you. I know that your temperament is hard to change, so I will definitely I won’t expose this matter and ask me what to do.”
Peng Sanwu, whose face had already developed some fine wrinkles, raised his hand to add a jug of wine for himself. The jug was hanging in the air, but his whole body was shaking with laughter.
