Hong Zao came out to clean up the messy table with cups and plates, and Ye Xuan got up unsteadily in the middle of the night, not forgetting to politely say "I'm sorry to bother you." Then he staggered to the side room, and then came Ye Xuan's scolding, " Get out of here and drink yourself to death."
Hong Zao turned around and took a peek, and saw Ye Xia You throwing a chair out of the inner room. Fortunately, Ye San Geng staggered out of the way, otherwise it wouldn't have been easy this time.
He didn't say anything when he entered the house at midnight. He lay down on the spot and snoring could be heard after two or three snaps of his fingers.
Ye Hao's curses started again, which frightened Hong Zao to work harder, and ran away with the food box and the empty wine jar.
Hearing the courtyard door close, the man who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep on the ground stood up in the middle of the night. His eyes were still a little blurry, and he was unusually awake.
"Zhao Yunchu can be regarded as a person. He vomited out his words after eating a jar, so he has some skills." He stood up in the middle of the night, picked up the tea in front of his sister and drank it without hesitation.
Ye Xiayou sneered and said: "The Zhao family has gained such a reputation on the river, how can they be so good to others?"
He curled his lips in the middle of the night and said, "Chasing fame and profit only for the sake of profit is not a good person."
Ye Xiayou said sarcastically: "What kind of mentality do you have? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps? If you were not born in a family with bells and cauldrons and a lot of gold and silver to worry about, you might become better than them. Worse than that.”
In the middle of the night, he retorted: "To each other."
"I think you really drank too much, right?" Ye Xiayou's dull eyes widened, making his brother tremble in fright. He raised his hand to strike, but Ye Xiayou quickly begged for mercy and held him down. Then he said that Zhao Yun had just spoken He said it word for word, and then recounted everything he saw and heard in the big house in detail.
After listening to his brother's words, Ye Xiayou fell into deep thought.
"It's such a mess." Ye Xieyou said thoughtfully, "How can a big river water village in the watershed be a paradise? Why are so many people jealous of it?"
"One side is Liang Xia Ke's old tribe. Naturally, they don't want Liang Chun to take the position of the village leader. Obviously, they are in the way of the old village master on the one hand, and they are frightened by the ability of the second master of the afternoon to pass on the responsibility. They will not do the same. I don’t dare to do anything too outrageous. But these are all internal disputes in the water village on the surface, and they are put on the table, so there is no need to worry. "
"One side is a mysterious person whose identity is unknown. He is using Liangsha's identity to make trouble in the village. However, he has not revealed much yet, and his purpose has not yet been determined. However, someone from the village came over just now to ask about your whereabouts. I want to come there. Bian has already focused his attention on you, fearing that he will cause trouble to the east. It is understandable that the wife of a good guest can deceive her until now. Her son has been used as a hostage, so naturally the mother does not dare to do anything. Since the hall master knows that the person is pretending and has not exposed it until now, he probably has reached some cooperation. This person is the biggest threat at present. It is best to find out his identity and purpose, otherwise There are too many variables.”
"As for Zhao Yunchu, the Zhao family who has good relations with the village, there is really nothing to worry about. From what you tell me, Zhao Yunchu is a very good disguiser. His wine is very spicy. He can drink a jar with you without changing his expression. His alcohol capacity is Secondly, being so patient in order to achieve the goal is considered a skill. Should I say it or not, Liang Gaobin is very good at understanding people's hearts. It is absolutely impossible for him to ask for help from such a villain who loses his heart in front of his face and laughs behind his back. I feel that maybe You can't tell whether he's testing Liangchun for sure. It's just that it's very detailed, and you won't know whether it's true or not unless it's in it. As for this, we can only wait and see. You can't believe everything he says, nor can you disbelieve it. But there is one thing. Believe it or not, that old guy from Liang Zhongting probably won’t come.”
Listening to her sister analyzing the seriousness one by one, Ye Sangeng acted very unconcerned.
To him, what happened at noon today was just a case of meddling in his own business out of emotion. For the rest of the matter, in his current view, there was no shame in running away if he couldn't fight.
In fact, he also understood in the middle of the night that just like that day in the small town of Anjia, his sister said, "I have slacked off after three years in the gentle countryside." He also felt the same way. It would be an exaggeration not to say that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds back then, but he still had more talents than ordinary warriors. In the past three years, the so-called "hiding in Tibet" sounds a bit ugly, but I have also traveled all over the Dazhou Mountains from east to west and south to north. My martial arts has not made any progress. The last few times I have taken action, I feel that it is not as good as before. Familiar.
Slacking off? It is obvious that he is idle and idle.
Although I know that for a young man in his twenties, it is ridiculous to be so unwilling to make progress, but in the middle of the night I have to admit that compared to how harsh he was on himself in the first twenty years, Doing things far beyond those of his peers, these three years have actually become what he wants most.
Whether you are content with the status quo or have no ambitions, even if you are said to be self-destructive, unlike the radical and true nature of the past, you can accept it now.
When people live in this world, there are only two things they think about and don't think about, that's all.
"Actually..." Ye Sangen said hesitantly.
"Shut up!" But after two words, he was directly interrupted by his sister, "If you really drink too much, go to the courtyard to vomit and sober up. Don't tell me such nonsense here, you don't want to listen."
Ye Xiayou got up and groped his way out. He had just moved in, and he didn't remember the general direction so quickly.
In the middle of the night, he stood up and went over to help me, "Listen to me after I finish speaking, and listen to what I say first, right?"
"Don't listen. That's not right." Ye Xiayou was very happy to deny his brother before he said it, but he didn't say anything else. It was obvious that he was stubborn and he still couldn't bear to grow up with him since he was a child. My brother is worried about something that is bothering him.
Before the smell of alcohol in the room had dissipated, Ye Xiayou led Ye Xiayou to sit down in the patio in the middle of the night and said: "Actually, I don't think there is any need to care about the right and wrong here. We have already done what we promised to be good guests. It’s here.”
Ye Xiayou exhaled lightly, nodded, and asked for no reason: "What did you seek when you traveled alone in the world back then?"
At midnight, I was speechless, unable to speak.
"Then let me ask you another question." Ye Xie turned towards his younger brother, his eyes as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, "What did you say when you brought Zhuang Yuan back?"
I was slightly startled at midnight.
"What do you mean by offending the entire caravan and asking people to chase him to Panshan?"
"Being worthy of the heaven above, worthy of the earth below, and worthy of the heart in this world are the great righteousness of a chivalrous man."
"What, did you forget, or can't do it anymore?"
The third night of the night was speechless.
"In the past three years, from the beginning, I took me away from home, blindly avoiding people's eyes and ears, and deliberately not to conflict with others. Later, we became accustomed to such a leisurely hiding place, so that in the past few years, you have been hanging around The saying "Don't mind your own business" seems to have become a mantra, so let me ask you, have you really forgotten that you indulged in the world?"
After talking about this, Ye Xiayou shut up and turned to Ye Sanqiang, obviously waiting for a reply.
In the middle of the night, he looked at his sister. He was not good at talking in front of Ye Xiayou. He was very self-aware and knew that he could tell the truth. He could not say anything about this man who once said in Xingtan Imperial College that "in prosperous times, literature is needed to bring prosperity to troubled times." During a conversation about "Martial Arts", one person had a verbal battle with the sisters of two great scholars.
Ye San more clearly remembers that my sister was making tea and asking for advice. She started with the sentence "How can light writings in troubled times be the most important?" and talked about dozens of political and political figures in the past and present. It was also prefaced by "How can we seek peace in the border court without taking Wu Anbang in the prosperous age?" , the importance of high martial arts in the prosperous age is illustrated by the mutual trade under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Guards, the trade between vassal states in the Western Regions, and the circulation of rare goods in the Far West. Finally, the loss of borders in the past dynasties was used as an example to prove the harm of lightly using force.
Those sharp words in a calm tone made the two contemporary scholars speechless. They just said "women are not qualified to discuss state affairs" and left in defeat.
With such a tongue that shines like a lotus flower, you will definitely not get into trouble in the middle of the night and ask for trouble.
Therefore, in the middle of the night, I only dare to answer with the word "no".
Ye Xiayou showed his face and smiled.
"Actually, while I hate Han Youyu, I am also quite grateful to him."
Such a meaningless sentence made Ye Sangeng say "hmm", and he was very confused as to why his sister was talking about this again.
"Hate him, why do you think he has to provoke us? It's not bad to just go on like this in an ordinary way. No matter where you go in the future, if you fall in love with a girl, I will go to the matchmaker and marry her. Just give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible and give me a gadget to keep me company, that would be pretty good."
Ye Xia smiled, but the smile was far-fetched, and Ye San could feel it even more.
"But you are the third member of the Ye family." The corners of my sister's mouth were curved, and she looked very proud, "You can't continue to be so mediocre."
"So, I have to get my old brother back. The one who drew his sword to help when the road was rough is the one who has a son in the Ye family."
The third night is more moving.
Ye Xiayou is still chattering as if talking to himself.
"You didn't want to see your family being bullied since you were a child. I remember you were seven or eight years old at the time. Brother Mao Sui, who was the caretaker of Uncle Mao's house, was bullied in the capital. You carried a stick and led the family from the west of the city, who had been kicked out by a few young men. You ran to the east of the city and finally jumped into the Longshou Canal before you gave up. Aunt Zhu’s mother, Liu, was deducted some rotten vegetable leaves by a vegetable seller. Aunt Zhu didn’t say anything. You scolded the street people all afternoon. , you were only ten years old at that time."
"Besides, Han Youyu bullied me this time, and when I first arrived in Lixia City a few years ago, those gangsters called me a pretty blind guy, but you were able to hold back and not kill me. I'm really surprised."
"I remember three years ago, in the capital, Mo Heng of the Mo family almost beat him to death because he secretly arranged for me to be unruly and have sex with others."
Thinking of the farce in the capital three years ago, Ye Xiayou pursed her lips and chuckled indifferently, as if her younger brother had done something illegal.
Ye Xiayou turned toward his younger brother and held his hand, with fleeting doubts in his eyes that had lost any energy.
"I really don't understand why you changed like this."
"So I'm grateful to Han Youyu. If he hadn't done such a thing, I, as a sister, would never have noticed that my brother has become like this. The knight-errant Saburo Yejia back then was just like this. It’s really been lost in the rumors.”
Even at midnight, he still bowed his head and remained silent.
Ye Xiayou raised her hand and patted Ye Sangeng on the head, just like the intimate gesture when the two were young and the brother made a mistake and the sister enlightened her, she said: "The decision is yours, I am your sister, I am only responsible for showing you the way. Whether you go or not is up to you. , I’m blind anyway, so sooner or later I have to follow.”
It was not a joke, Ye Xiayou laughed to himself.
Look up at midnight.
"It's not a wolf's den or a tiger's den, so just leave."
The night is so happy.
When she was young, she was always willing to tell him the interesting stories she read in books that day. Once in a miscellaneous history, she saw a sentence said by a ranger who laughed up to the sky and went out, so she couldn't wait to read it to him. younger brother.
"Do you still remember what I told you?" Ye Xiayou suddenly asked.
Ye San even smiled bitterly, "Don't talk about what you told me. The principles you told me are thicker than the Four Books and Five Classics. I know which sentence you are asking?"
"A young man should have great ambitions..."
"Ride a horse and ride on the plains."
The night is full of smiles,
The ambition of a man is like a river, running eastward to the sea!
