The bamboo forest listens to the rain, and the thoughts of rain are flying.
In the quiet bamboo forest, there was a bearded man holding a little girl wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. Walk slowly along the winding bamboo forest path, stroll in the quiet drizzle of the bamboo forest, and listen to the poetic sound of the rain.
The bearded man's surname is Yang and his name is Yunfeng. He has a knife hanging on his waist and a sword slung across his back, which is called "Xingxiu". His left hand is holding the little girl's hand, and his right hand is holding a wine gourd while he is drinking wine. The little girl, surnamed Hu and given name Mengqiu, is eight years old this year. She is wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, has a small round face and big watery eyes.
The little girl was looking at the bearded man with a smile. She smiled very cutely, with a red face and two very cute dimples on her cheeks and said:
"Uncle Yang, how far do we have to go to find my family? I have a lot to say to my father and mother. Your children have grown up and have been to many places with Uncle Yang."
The little girl's eyes were full of expectation and light. The man relaxed his hands and squatted down slightly, touched the little girl's head and said:
"When Mengqiu grows up, Mengqiu will definitely see them, so we have to speed up the pace and work hard to move forward, okay?"
The little girl jumped up happily:
"good!"
Yang Yunfeng stood up and continued to lead the little girl to walk in the quiet bamboo forest. The little girl never imagined that her parents might never see her again.
A gust of wind blew by, and the sound of the flute floated out from the bamboo forest. The sound of the flute is mixed with the air of the ice spring, and is suddenly like waves pushing forward layer by layer, suddenly like snowflakes flying in waves, suddenly like a whirlwind in the canyon, rushing upwards, and suddenly like the Milky Way flowing quietly in the middle of the night...
A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the bamboo forest. A young man wearing white clothes and holding a folding fan was slowly walking towards him. The young man had a jade-like face and a slender figure. There were two people following closely behind, one holding a jade Xiao, wearing a dark green robe, with a smooth and white face, showing an angular and cold look; and dark and deep eyes. The other one has thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a bamboo flute and a sword hanging from his waist. The young man in white said proudly:
"Who are you? We have been following you for a long time. The material of the sword is definitely not ordinary? Hand over the sword obediently, or I will snatch it away!"
Yang Yunfeng held the little girl and stopped, and the little girl quickly hid behind Yang Yunfeng. The young man in white smiled slightly:
"What a lovely little girl, if you give up the sword, I will spare your lives, otherwise this will be your burial place, but the little girl's life can be kept!"
Yang Yunfeng smiled and said:
"That's right, you're not an ordinary person. How dare you speak such arrogant words, a child with a yellow mouth! I want to see if you have the skills to do it!"
The young man in white thought that I couldn't beat a rough guy, and said with a silly smile:
"Then I'll grab it!" Then the young man in white attacked Yang Yunfeng.
The man holding the Xiao and the man holding the flute did not come up, but squatted on the spot, one played the Xiao, the other played the flute, and they started playing in unison, and the clear sound resounded through the bamboo forest. The man holding the flute stopped playing and said helplessly:
"Forget it, this guy wants to seize the sword, which made us chase him for so long. Isn't it a bit too much for us to intercept the martial arts like this? Li Yuze. After all, what we need to do is fight for other people's things. Human lives.”
The man holding Xiao also stopped playing and replied helplessly:
"Brother Hu, why do I think there is any difference between us and bandits?"
The man holding the flute put his right hand on his forehead and said helplessly:
"Song Yunzhi, this kid, really worked hard to get the transportation to the capital. I blame him for losing the transportation he brought. Don't tell anyone about the robbery this time, otherwise it will ruin our Seven Heroes of Suishan. 's reputation."
The man named Li Yuze said:
"Let's act according to the situation. This bearded man is not easy to mess with. It's best to teach the arrogant Song Yunzhi a lesson."
Then they continued to play together. Listen to the rain in the bamboo forest, and clear music is conveyed in the quiet bamboo forest.
Mengqiu was squatting under a thick bamboo, drawing circles with his hands.
The bearded man wearing a bamboo hat took a sip of strong wine, drew his sword out of its sheath, quickly ran towards the man in white, and struck at the man in white. The man in white was holding a fan to block, but he couldn't lift it up. The young man in white named Song Yunzhi thought to himself:
"Damn it, this guy is as strong as a cow."
Song Yunzhi's feet dug into the ground. After all, the soil was soft due to the rain. Then Song Yunzhi shot several flying needles from the fan, and the bearded man quickly dodged. Then Song Yunzhi zoomed away and shot several more flying needles at the bearded man. Yang Yunfeng blocked with a knife and said angrily:
"His grandma, you are just a scheming guy. You don't have martial ethics! Play with hidden weapons for me!"
Yang Yunfeng then sheathed his sword, stretched out his hand to catch a handful of stones, and used his inner strength to project the stones. Seeing that the opportunity was bad, Song Yunzhi wanted to block with a folding fan, but the bearded man shot several shots one after another, and there was no time to block. Then Yang Yunfeng said humbly:
"Young man, you are still too young, watch me swell your face!"
Yang Yunfeng then used his powerful internal strength to throw a large number of stones, beating Song Yunzhi until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Song Yunzhi burst into tears and cried:
"You old thing, you don't know how to give in to the younger generation, you old thing, you don't have martial ethics."
Song Yunzhi immediately changed his words and accidentally cursed:
"Senior's martial arts skills are unparalleled. It's my fault that I shouldn't be looking for trouble."
Yang Yunfeng quickly ran in front of Song Yunzhi and asked:
"You still beat me, brat?"
Song Yunzhi fell to his knees:
"Senior, let's stop fighting. I'll kowtow to you. It's because I can't see the mountains."
Yang Yunfeng asked:
"Why do you want to seize the sword for no reason? I don't think we have seen it before. It doesn't look like you are robbers."
Song Yunzhi touched his swollen face and replied:
"The three of us planned to go to the capital, but we got lost on the way, so we decided to seize the sword."
At this time, Song Yunzhi and the young master Pianpian just now were completely different. The little girl who was drawing circles laughed loudly when she saw Song Yunzhi's nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten. The two people also stopped playing and laughed loudly. The man holding the flute laughed and said:
"This will also improve his memory."
Then the two men quickly walked to Yang Yunfeng and lowered their heads to salute. The young man holding the flute made clothes and said:
"Your Majesty Hu Rui, a person from the capital, would like to pay my respects to my senior."
The young man holding Xiao made clothes and said:
"My Excellency, Li Yuze, is also from Jinling. I would like to pay my respects to you, senior."
The man in white touched his bruised handsome face and said:
"I am Song Yunzhi, a native of Shandong. I would like to pay my respects to my senior."
Yang Yunfeng returned the gift:
"Hey, you and I are fellow villagers. Our family name is Li Yunfeng. We are also from Shandong. We are from Taishan County, Shandong. Where are you from?"
Song Yunzhi replied:
"I'm from Langya. Senior, please bear with me. I'm sorry that I offended you so much. I blame this junior for not being able to recognize Mount Tai."
Yang Yunfeng patted Song Yunzhi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"It's okay. I haven't practiced for a long time. It's a good idea to stretch my muscles."
The little girl quickly ran to Yang Yunfeng and hugged Yang Yunfeng's legs and said:
"Uncle Yang, you are so awesome."
Li Yuze knelt down, took out a small Xiao from the package, stuffed it into the little girl's pocket, and touched the little girl's head.
Yang Yunfeng smiled and said:
"Mengqiu, why don't you thank me brother yet."
Mengqiu looked at Li Yuze, blushing slightly and pouting, and said shyly:
"Thank you, Brother Li."
Song Yunzhi and Hu Rui smiled at each other and scratched their heads in embarrassment. They were worried about not having any extra toys to give to the little girl.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the heavy rain fell from the sky crazily, and the dark sky seemed to collapse.
Yang Yunfeng said:
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain."
There was a cave in the distance, and a group of five people walked into the cave.
The cave is not big. There is a stream outside. There are reeds swaying in the wind beside the stream. On the other side of the stream is the bamboo forest where they met. There was a lot of dry firewood in the cave. They lit a fire and started chatting. In this way, the five of us stayed together for the night.
The next day, the sky was clear, white clouds were floating in the blue sky, and the wind was gentle and sunny. The reeds outside the cave are swaying slowly, and the bamboo forest looks extremely refreshing after the rain.
The group said goodbye, Hu Rui cupped his fists and said:
"Senior, we are going to the capital together to participate in the martial arts competition held every five years in the capital. It is rumored that many martial arts masters will gather together this year. I heard that the prize for victory is a fine sword. Do you want to go with us, senior?"
Yang Yunfeng smiled and replied:
"No, it's too far. I don't want to go such a long way."
Hu Rui asked:
"I wonder where you are going, senior?"
Yang Yunfeng replied:
"I'm going to Langya, to a village near Wuhe River. I don't know how far I have to go."
Song Yunzhi said quickly:
"Senior, we are in the Langya area now. I am very familiar with it."
Yang Yunfeng was surprised:
"Is this in the Langya zone? I haven't been here for many years."
Song Yunzhi pointed to a river not far away and said with a smile:
"That river is Wu River. The source of Wu River is Yishui. The place you are looking for should not be far away."
Yang Yunfeng slowly said with a smile on his face:
"It's a good thing I met you, otherwise I, a road idiot like me, would really not be able to find a place. Thank you."
Hu Rui replied:
"You're welcome, senior, we're on our way. I hope we can meet again if we have the chance!"
Yang Yunfeng said quickly:
"Wait a minute, courtesy reciprocates. If you give something to my little niece, I will give you a gift in return. Otherwise, it would be shameful to just take it back without being able to take it back."
Then, Yang Yunfeng took out a small bag from his worn-out straw sandals.
Yang Yunfeng said:
"This is a return gift. Be dirty. Don't suggest it. Although these coins are not much, they are enough for the three of you to eat on the road."
The three of them looked at each other, a little embarrassed to accept it. Yang Yunfeng also saw it and said:
"Take it and return it to me when you have the chance."
Li Yuze was the first to kneel down and clasp his fists:
"Thank you, Senior Yang."
Song Yunzhi and Hu Rui looked at each other and knelt down together. Yang Yunfeng rubbed his forehead and said helplessly:
"Just accept it. If you do this, I will kneel down!"
Then when Yang Yunfeng was about to kneel down, the three people quickly stood up and supported Yang Yunfeng. Hu Rui said:
"Senior, this junior can't bear it. Thank you very much, senior."
Then the three of them clasped their fists together and prepared to say goodbye. Li Yuze turned around, walked to Mengqiu, touched his head and said:
"Practice well. If I have a chance to take the camera next time, I will test you. How do you do?"
Mengqiu nodded:
"Brother Li, I will definitely do it."
Then everyone burst out laughing and left, walking slowly for a long distance. Li Yuze turned around again, looked at Mengqiu who was waving his hands, and laughed.
On the road of life, there will be many partings. Parting is a kind of beauty. The autumn water that cannot be measured with the eyes is forgotten by the thoughts that are running freely.
The clouds rose, and bits of golden clouds filtered through the gaps between the heavy green leaves, and wisps of transparent lavender and light yellow light were reflected in the forest.
On the road, there were a large group of people and a small one, holding hands, walking on the path. Not far away, they saw a village where a group of children were playing happily.
The stars hold the bright moon, and the mountains are green. The bamboos on the east slope rise to the wind, and the trees on the west ridge play music. Willows dance lightly by the river, and dragons leap across the water. The waves are shining with silver, and the stars are drunk with scales. The cicadas chirp at night and the flowers are fragrant. The drunken man has no wine, but his heart is full of love. Entering the scenery and abandoning lovesickness, the beauty of the night has already enchanted the soul.
