The sound of pipa clanking outside, as well as the gentle singing of boat girls and singers from far and near, rippled in the tranquility of the misty lake at night. Apart from the sound of slow paddling, there are only fish swimming near the water occasionally, thrashing and disturbing the water.
There is a kind of desolate and lingering feeling of "the frost knife cuts through the bamboo without any fragments"; but it is also melodious and melodious like "the ice spring is whimpering and the orioles are astringent"; just when the two voices of the pipa and the singing are intertwined, it is quiet and melancholy, as if it has passed. For hundreds of years, things have changed, people have changed, everything has stopped, and their appearance is no longer beautiful, worrying and melancholy.
But it reminded Jiang Tian of the blind Ayun who was also famous for playing the pipa in Qingqi Garden. After acquiescing to her to take a step further and join in the life of the back house, the sound of the pipa she played became much more cheerful and lively, and even had a hint of joy and nostalgia for Die Xie.
Especially her graceful posture, with only her eyes covered with black gauze, playing the pipa in the dormitory for fun; or it is full of maternal connotation, holding the disabled Ming Fei, shy and flawless on the bed; Jiang Tian suddenly missed Linghu Xiaomu who was not present.
At some point, the playing of the pipa outside became more rapid; and the singing sounds around him gradually became silent; only the sound of oars moving in the water was left, and the singer from the lower deck of the boat sang with unique local songs. The farmer whispered softly and sang a soft song "Su Muzhe":
"Burn agarwood to relieve the heat.
Birds call out for the clear sky, and they peek into the eaves at dawn.
On the leaves, the sun rises and the rain falls, the water surface is clear and round, and the wind lifts each leaf.
My hometown is far away, when will I go?
He lives in Wumen and has been traveling in Chang'an for a long time.
Do you remember each other in May?
In a small boat, I dreamed of entering Furongpu. "
And Jiang Tian also put down the celadon wine bottle he was drinking from, and raised his head to look outside the gauze curtain; only to find that under the moonlight like water and the clear waves, there was only a hundred steps away, a pair of two people walking slowly by. There are several painted boats; but under the brightly lit lights, there is silence on the boat.
There are neither the boat ladies who are rowing slowly and singing endlessly, nor the maids and servants walking in the corridor of the berth, serving dishes, let alone staying in the bow or stern compartments. , a musician who specializes in playing string instruments, playing silk and bamboo, or advocating for actors.
Just floating quietly along the water in the night wind on the lake, he couldn't help but sigh, why couldn't he even have a rare moment of leisure in private? The next moment, he was just about to give the order to turn the ship around and dock, when he heard a gentle and low female voice following the light steps:
"I'm sorry to disturb you, my lord. Please try the new chrysanthemum-flavored wine and red-rolled fish meat on this boat." Then, a maid wearing a white lotus skirt, a lotus-colored half-armor, and a tunic-colored blouse, carried a The tray decorated with gold mother-of-pearl was pushed in through the curtain with a swaying figure, and the case was held in front of Jiang Tian with eyebrows raised.
However, the moment Jiang Tian saw the other person, he suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar. As old memories flashed back, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Don't you think you don't recognize me when you put on a dress? Last month, Duanpinglou in Pi let you run away, why did you come to your door again?"
However, after hearing these words, the maid raised her sleeves and lowered her head and walked backwards. The maid who was about to leave couldn't help but raise her head to reveal a heavily made-up face. Suddenly, her face was filled with disbelief and her whole body was trembling. She took a step back, and remembered something shocking again. It was a shocking thing; then he gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop and said:
"The noble man clearly knows that this concubine is only staying here temporarily. I will never dare to offend again, and I have no intention of harming anyone. But if I fall into the hands of the noble man today, there is no reason to be lucky. I can only ask others to show my noble hand, and Let the other unsuspecting people on board be spared; I am willing to kill myself to redeem myself."
The next moment, she pulled out the hairpin from her bun and stabbed it into her neck with quick eyes and hands. In an instant, a line of blood spurted out and she collapsed to the ground. However, when she was in pain and dazed, she discovered that she did not die on the spot, but was pulled up by a force while spinning around.
Like a dead fish, she was thrown heavily on a lacquered wood table with seaweed carvings; then the hairpin that was shallowly inserted into her neck was also pulled out and thrown aside; then there was a burning sensation like salt at the wound. The pain made her scream uncontrollably, like a fish suddenly dehydrated.
But at the same time, the wound on her neck was no longer spurting out blood; instead, it healed quickly amidst the pain and swelling caused by pressing hard. At this time, the thick makeup on her face was washed away by the tears that could not help but flow out.
Immediately, his original face was revealed; it was the female assassin who had tried to sneak into Tangchi to assassinate Jiang Tian in Tangquan Street, Chengxiafang near Longmen Mountain in Luodu. Then, she heard Jiang Tian say in a meaningful tone: "It wouldn't be cheap to just die like this."
"At least, you have to tell me personally, the inside story of the organization behind you, and which instigator you were ordered by? Otherwise, can the lives of the entire ship be cleared away just by saying that you have nothing to do with it? It’s a case of covering up a fugitive criminal, and everyone is to blame.”
The next moment, Jiang Tian saw this woman, struggling and rolling in front of him, and shouting in an extremely humbling voice: "I am just a humble concubine, and I only ask that everyone on the ship not be implicated; I was so humble back then." He was chased to death several times, but fortunately he was taken in and treated on the ship, so he can no longer retaliate for kindness."
"Okay, then let me see your sincerity?" Jiang Tian said with some surprise: "Look, what are you willing to do to repay these benefactors?" The next moment, he saw this man The woman came to him without hesitation, opened her mouth and bit down on the belt buckle.
"...What are you thinking about!" Then, Jiang Tian instinctively kicked him away, and said with some embarrassment: "Relax your whole body, concentrate, but don't have any thoughts of resistance." The next moment, Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and pressed It touched her forehead and disappeared instantly after being in contact for a moment.
There were only skirts and coats scattered on the ground, as well as hairpins, armbands and other scattered accessories; and in the "dimensional bubble" space that Jiang Tian looked at inside, there were large and small bubbles floating on the water. ; There is a new empty bubble, a beautiful white female body curled up like a newborn baby.
Well, at least it seems that the evolved "dimensional bubble" template can contain living creatures in this time and space without any problem. Immediately, Jiang Tian cast his eyes outside the window screen, but found that the dead boat was already within thirty steps, which also alerted the ship.
Someone started calling and greetings from afar. After receiving no response, a small boat was put down at the stern of the boat and rowed towards the dead boat. A moment later, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded after boarding the ship, and then turned into figures stumbling and rushing back.
Others lost their footing and fell into the water with a plop. Then, the voice of the hostess who was in charge of the boat also sounded downstairs: "Please forgive me for being rude and disturbing the noble man, but it is the familiar flower boat that is approaching. There seems to be some interference. Please come down and talk about it." .”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Tian suddenly took action and patted the seemingly calm water surface; a large splash of water suddenly exploded; like a frightened fish, he suddenly stirred up two people wearing clothes. The figure in gray shorts and fish skin is wearing a pale mask.
He twisted his body violently in the air, suddenly waved his hand and shot out two hook-like objects, which were nailed to the edge of the ship's balcony with a loud sound; he was about to pull and climb over. However, Jiang Tian once again waved his hands from left to right, sending him flying into the air like a spinning top.
In an instant, he was wrapped around his body by his own hook, and his skin was torn apart and blood splattered everywhere; he was dragged like a rice dumpling in the water. However, at the bow and stern of the ship, there were screams and screams at the same time, but someone else snorkeled from the water and boarded the ship, and began to attack all witnesses.
However, at the next moment, two bright streams of light suddenly flashed, and those who climbed onto the ship, brandishing weapons and trying to kill the stabbing attackers, suddenly made a move; then they fell into pieces and disintegrated into pieces; There were broken limbs and broken bodies in a pool of blood on the ground. Only a few people barely escaped.
Then he turned around and rushed into the water without hesitation, but he couldn't escape the flash of light that followed Wuxia into the water; he was penetrated through the body amidst the continuous screams, and his hands and feet were cut off; with the large tumbling blood, It surfaced; then it was ingested half-dead from the air and onto the slipway.
My thoughts are stuck, until now
