"Clang, clang, clang, grab, grab...", the noisy sound of gongs and drums startled the three people's unhurried horses.
"Woooo... Have a good trip..." The mournful voice passed by the three of them accompanied by the flying paper money. The mourning team also moved leisurely, with an indescribable laziness.
There was no trace of sadness or seriousness on the face of the master who played the suona. Instead, he felt as if he had eaten a fly because this was the first time he had mourned a living person since he had been practicing the art for so long.
A young man dressed in white was lying straightly in the coffin. The coffin didn't even have a lid, it was just open. He looked at the people watching the fun on the roadside with his eyes wide open, grinning from time to time, as if he was very satisfied that so many people came to see him off. When the funeral procession passed by the noisiest street intersection, they even sat up from the coffin and clasped their fists to both sides in greeting. The old woman who was walking around throwing paper money playfully threw it in crowded places. If there were people standing high up to watch the fun, she would pretend to be careless and throw a handful of paper money in that person's face. .
"Isn't this the young prince?"
"Yes, what are you doing, young prince?"
"This is so unlucky. How can anyone mourn for themselves?"
"The prince doesn't care about such nonsense."
Everyone on the street was whispering to each other, which attracted Chen Yuan and the other three to stop and watch. In fact, I had to stop. When I entered the city, I met the young prince on the main street who was about to leave the city to bury him. The people in the city who were watching the excitement had already blocked the street.
Dai Er was so angry that he jumped on his horse, put his hands on his hips and cursed: "I'm dead! If you're not dead, get out of the way. It's your ancestor's fault!"
"Come on! You..." Gu Ming couldn't speak as fast as he could, so he had no choice but to hold his forehead.
The whole street was suddenly silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared blankly at the fierce man standing on the horse in trance. The horses blew their noses as if a little embarrassed, but the fierce man remained motionless. who is this! Who was he scolding? The Lord of Linze City, the youngest son of King Dingxi! The King of Dingxi killed several fierce men coming and going at the border! He was also known as a calf protector. When his soldiers returned to their hometown and were bullied by the squires, they had to personally lead the troops to kill those who went there! When you scold someone else's son, you are still the youngest son you love the most, and you are still scolding your ancestors...
The scolded young man in white suddenly sat up from the coffin, his speed was not like that of a dying person, "Your grandma, how dare you scold me!" The young man pointed at Dai Er and cursed.
"What the hell are you scolding! Even good dogs know how to stay out of the way! It's all thanks to your ancestors that you caused this fight!" Dai Er jumped on the horse and cursed, bending the horse's hind legs. If the horse could talk, it would have been scolded.
The young man also got up, jumped up, put his foot on the edge of the coffin and said: "Wild boar! Not only will I block your way today, I will also make it impossible for you to walk in the future!" The people carrying the coffin were now The legs are more curved than those of a horse.
"Scream! Why can't I walk on the street in the future? Is it in my crotch to spread my legs? Hahaha!" Dai Er said, and a few snickers came from the street.
"Okay, okay!" The young man said hello three times without saying anything. He took out a handful of horns from his waist and blew twice.
After a moment of silence, Dai Er, who was looking around, laughed again: "Haha! What's wrong? Just blowing the trumpet is enough to make grandpa lame? Young man, bragging is of no use, so brag instead... " Before Dai Er finished speaking, he heard a faint rumbling sound. Smoke and dust could be seen behind the houses in the distance. At the same time, soldiers in armor hurriedly rushed towards the city gates and towers behind them. The unique sound of conquest echoed with the footsteps in the distance and were gathering here.
"Break his legs." The young man pointed the horns at Dai Er on horseback and said to a circle of soldiers standing around, including hundreds of them. The hundred or ten people walked towards Dai Er without saying a word.
"Wait a minute!" Dai Er shouted suddenly.
"What? Are you afraid of the wild boar?" The young man put his hands on his hips and laughed.
"I'm afraid of you, you idiot! It's just you who have three melons and two dates." Dai Er said.
"I mean, even if you break grandpa's legs, grandpa can still walk." Dai Er said again.
"Oh? How are you going?" The young man was a little curious. He put his foot on the edge of the coffin and leaned forward to ask.
Dai Er jumped off the horse happily, waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, come on, let's make a way for me!"
Everyone got out of the way, and the soldiers looked at the young man. The young man nodded in acquiescence, and also lined up on both sides, leaving a path.
I saw Dai Er slowly bending down, touching the ground with his hands, standing on his head, taking two steps forward slowly with his hands, slowly walking faster and faster, and finally even started running, laughing while running, and was about to Out of the city gate.
"Hurry! Stop him! This guy is cheating and wants to escape!" The young man jumped anxiously, and everyone carrying the coffin crouched down, gritting their teeth and sweating profusely. Chen Yuan and everyone also woke up in shock from Dai Er's performance, and many people laughed out loud. Gu Ming still held his forehead and said awkwardly to Chen Yuan: "This bastard doesn't know what shame is." Chen Yuan laughed, while his eyes quietly glanced around him.
After all, Dai Er did not get out of the city gate. He stopped at the feet of a group of armored soldiers, stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, turned around and walked back. The soldiers in the row didn't expect that they were ignored. Two people rushed over at that time, one on the left and one on the right, holding down Dai Er's shoulders. Without looking back, Dai Er crossed his hands in front of his chest, squeezed the two hands on his shoulders, took a sharp step, raised his head and threw it forward, and the two people behind him were stripped off by Dai Er. The undershirt was thrown out and landed on the ground five or six steps away. The dust raised was almost the same as when they arrived a moment ago. Dai Er still walked towards Chen Yuan and the others, and the people watching were a little shocked; this guy has such skills! Why did you make a fool of yourself and want to run away just now?
The young man jumping on the coffin also recovered from his moment of astonishment and was about to order the soldiers to swarm forward and break the madman's legs. But they saw the wild boar forming a small circle with the two of them, whispering to each other. When the three of them raised their heads, the young man's expression was indescribable surprise, and he jumped off the coffin. Everyone carrying the coffin suddenly felt relieved.
"Brother Yuan! Why is it your Brother Yuan! Hahaha, great!" The young man ran to Chen Yuan and jumped happily and shouted.
Chen Yuan looked at him with a smile and was about to say something.
"It's great to see you before I die. Let's go for a walk and drink, and get drunk and count balls on the way! Haha..." the young man said again.
"I love hearing this!" Dai Eryi bared his teeth.
"Brother Yuan, do you know this person?" The young man asked Dai Er with a sidelong glance.
"We know each other, good brother." Chen Yuan smiled.
"That's a misunderstanding! Let's go, let's go!" The young man waved to the soldiers, and the soldiers dispersed instantly, even faster than when they came.
"Brother Zuoyuan! Go home and have a drink! Dad and brother will be very happy to see you." The young man took Chen Yuandao's hand and strode forward, with Taimo walking in the middle holding the horse, and Gu Ming and Dai Er following behind.
"Xiaoyun, what are you playing today?" Chen Yuan smiled and touched the boy's head.
"Hi! Go back and talk about it." The boy was eager to go home, as if chatting would slow down his walking speed, he walked two more steps. Dai Er also took two steps at this time, and stood beside Chen Yuan, looking straight ahead and whispering: "The people I told you just now are following, and they are following from a distance."
"It's okay, they don't dare to enter the palace, and they can't enter the palace." Chen Yuan said.
The young man also heard it, and just as he was about to turn his head to ask, Chen Yuan's hand stroking his head forcibly stopped him, and he understood. He laughed and talked to him all the way, and returned to his house after a while.
As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but said, "Brother! What's going on! Do you want to play something exciting?" There seemed to be stars in the young man's eyes.
"What excitement can there be? A few thieves are just interested in my brother's treasure." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh, that's not interesting." The young man was disappointed. He turned to the housekeeper and said, "Move!" The housekeeper said yes and backed away.
Several people sat down one after another, and Chen Yuan asked again: "Tell me, what show are you playing today?"
"Hey! I'm not playing anymore. I'm going to die." The young man sighed and said calmly. Looking at Chen Yuan's frown, he continued: "Two days ago, I was walking on the street. A little beggar came up to beg for money and pulled my trouser leg. I was begging for money when a big beggar scolded me from a distance. He came over, apologized to me, and took the little beggar away. But, grandma! He slapped me on the chest while I wasn't paying attention. Look!" After saying that, he opened his clothes and saw a black and red palm print. Right in the heart.
"Weeds are like rust." Chen Yuan said slowly.
"Hey, that's right! Daddy went out immediately after saying these four words. After walking for three days, today is already the fourth day, and there is no sign of him yet." The young man said.
"Uncle feels sorry for you and doesn't even want to waste half an hour explaining the situation to you." Chen Yuan said.
"That's right! I also asked about it. The internal energy of this rusty grass is special. It seems to be poisonous. It will slowly corrode your internal organs until your internal organs dry up like grass. If the person who has been hit does not detoxify in time, Just seven days," the young man said.
"Don't worry, uncle knows how to save you. He may be on his way back now. It takes exactly six days to go back and forth. You are lucky." Chen Yuan said.
"Oh? Where did dad go?" the boy asked.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines." Chen Yuan said.
"Wushen, Mr. Wu." Gu Ming said.
"Yes, apart from those who practice this technique, only Wu Shen can solve this rusty grass." Chen Yuan said.
"Mr. Wu's medical skills are really superb. He can also cure the disease caused by fate and the weeds like rust." Gu Ming said with emotion.
Chen Yuan frowned again, as if he had thought of something, but that thought was too subtle, too elusive, and difficult to grasp.
"Haha! Then if I lived in a place far away like Qinggang City or Guyan Town, wouldn't I be dead?" The young man said with a laugh, completely dispelling Chen Yuan's only thoughts.
"No, no matter how far away you live, your father will be able to save you." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true. Just this time, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back, so I hurriedly carried out the funeral myself. Otherwise, no one would be there to attend the funeral for me." The young man said.
"Where's your brother?" Chen Yuan asked.
"We went to Qinggang City, one day before my father." The young man said.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Yuan was curious.
"Tell me which old man is celebrating his birthday. He's quite an amazing old man." The young man said.
At this time, the housekeeper and his servants brought the wine, six jars.
"So many?" Chen Yuan said.
"Is this much?" the young man asked.
"One altar per person?" the young man said again.
"There are five people here." Gu Ming glanced around again as if he was still unsure.
"You still have a horse," the young man said.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled: "Does a horse count as a head?"
"Just when you're drinking." The young man bared his teeth and said with a smile.
"Then I still have two lice on my body, give me two more." Dai Er said with a smile.
"Okay!" said the young man.
"I have two roundworms in my stomach, so I'll give you two more," Tai Mo also said.
"Okay!" The young man became more and more happy, "Enough! Let's drink! Drink enough! Drink all night long! Drink again when you wake up!"
"Haha, okay." Chen Yuan was also a little infected and agreed with a smile.
"Come on! This big brother, my little brother is blind. I don't recognize you as my brother, and I want to break your legs. I'm going to apologize here. Let's have a bowl first!" After that, he finished the bowl.
"Hey! I'm ashamed to say this. It was obviously me who cursed first, brother, that's right! Come on!" After Dai Er said this, he directly picked up the jar and poured it into his mouth, wetting his clothes along his beard.
"Happy! My little brother, Ran Yun, dare to ask my brother's name."
"The surname is Dai, and the single name is one and two."
"Second brother!" Ran Yun clasped his fists.
"Good brother!" Dai Er mentioned the wine jar.
Chen Yuan and Gu Ming watched the two going back and forth as if they were singing a big show, and they also smiled and picked up their wine bowls and started drinking.
"But dear brother, you can't use your power to bully others. You can't break their legs just because they scold you." Dai Er's tongue was already a little stiff.
"Hey, brother, brother, it's because you, hiccup, scolded me, it's because you called me grandpa, my grandpa, my grandpa... That's the Supreme Emperor! You can't be insulted..." Ran Yun was more cautious than Dai Er. Seriously, I can't speak coherently.
"Oh, it's my brother's fault. Come on, let me apologize to you again." After that, he took another big gulp.
"No, no, no, hiccup - no!" Ran Yun rested his head on the table and waved his hands to indicate.
There was a mixture of drinking and drinking, guessing, chatting, sometimes whispering, and sometimes hearty laughter. As the crickets chirped louder and louder, they gradually became silent. The night slowly closed together with the young prince's eyes. There is no moon tonight. The dark clouds and the night cover slowly fill Linze with ink. The breeze gradually picks up, and the patter of rain falls from far to near, extinguishing the chirping of insects and slowly washing away today's short-lived joy. Summer nights, drunkenness, the sound of falling rain, there is no time more suitable than now to sleep comfortably and sweetly.
