Chapter 40 Encounter
The moon shadow looks west and shines on the willow twigs.
The clear silver glow sprinkled on the bluestone long street, like a light frost, and the spring breeze this night also added a bit of chill.The long street was empty, and the wine racks in the small buildings along the street shook gently, but the bright yellow lights upstairs gradually went out.
The young man in white came here on the moon, strolling through the long street like a leisurely stroll, bathed in the circulating moonlight.
Cheng Xiaobai wasn't worried about whether the second male lead would come to him.
At that time, I was a soul wearer. In order to meet the soy sauce setting for bringing children, the shell was adjusted to the standard passer-by configuration. It has no characteristics and is forgotten.Now it's body wear, the difference between before and after, even my own mother can't recognize it.
What's more, after so many years, the current male second should be busy pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, and has long forgotten the passerby he met when he was young and ignorant.
While thinking about it, he seemingly unintentionally turned into a back alley...
The alley is very dark, the space is narrow, and the red lanterns on the eaves of the people on the street can't let in any light, but the young man in white stopped in the alley and shouted: "Come out!"
Today he went down to Luoyang Building, and went to eat the famous lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken in the south of the Yangtze River. When he came out, it was already dark and he was about to find an inn to stay, but he found a vague aura behind him.He was not in a hurry, and wandered the long street carelessly.Meeting the remote backlit alley here is exactly what I want.
See how well my uncle is dressed?Can't afford Shuiyun brocade?
It's my master's idea to teach your parents that you have no future as a thief! ! !
That breath has disappeared...
Two breaths passed, and the night was still quiet. Are you suspicious?Or maybe someone just happened to be passing by? ...
Suddenly there was a rustling breeze behind him, and the moment he turned around, a black figure fell from the sky.
Instinctively, he backhanded to probe the opponent's lute bone, the man sideways avoided but did not retreat but advanced, turned his palm into a finger, and pointed at the healed air point under his rib.His power system is different from that of warriors in this world, he can move his meridians and change his veins. This kind of acupuncture technique is useless to him, so he rushed to attack the opponent without dodging, but suddenly felt a numbness in his ribs, and realized that he was underestimated. Underestimating the enemy, changing his moves, the bitter palm wind suddenly hit him.
In the blink of an eye, the two had passed more than thirty moves, and it was not easy to use fists and kicks in the narrow alley, but the movements of the two were like a frightening dragon swimming around, with more than enough twirling.Although the murderous intent was clearly present in the exquisite moves, it was as if he had fought against the enemy countless times before, and at this time, he was seamlessly seeing each other and dismantling each move.
But Cheng Xiaobai became more and more frightened... This feeling is so familiar... A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind!
... Walking through flowers and supporting willows!
Just being distracted, someone grabbed the right hand pulse door and slammed it against the wall!
He slashed out like a conditioned reflex, but unexpectedly the man accepted the palm abruptly, and with a muffled grunt, his right hand was gripped even tighter, with such force that it almost crushed his wrist bone.
He wanted to shake the person in front of him away, but he was afraid of being suppressed by the laws of the plane, so he lost the opportunity for a while.
But I saw the man leaning down and calling out in a low voice: "Brother..."
The numbing and warm breath sprayed on the neck, with an inexplicable sense of oppression, Cheng Xiaobai froze instantly.
The deep and melodious male voice seemed to be smiling, with a bit of hoarseness: "Brother doesn't know me anymore?"
In the darkness, the man's face couldn't be seen clearly, but sharp and sharp edges and corners could be vaguely seen.Cheng Xiaobai was forced to lower his head by the breath in his ear.
But seeing the clear moonlight leaking in, it was shining on the slightly swaying hem of the man's clothes, and the delicate patterns had a faint brilliance...
Seven Star Iris.
His pupils suddenly shrank!
Shen Xingyuan!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When Shen Xingyuan was eight years old, he met a man named Bai Yanxiu.
At that time, the raging fire stung his eyes, and his mouth and nose were filled with the strong smell of blood and burnt corpses.In the past, the pond in the backyard where the lotus flower was just blooming, the nine-snap corridor that his mother dragged him through, and the ancestral hall where he was punished to face the wall and kneel when he made a mistake.
He knew he couldn't run far, and hoarse sneers seemed to ring in his ears, and those people were about to catch up.Every movement of his right leg was a piercing pain, and finally he fell hard outside the back door, but he crawled forward inch by inch. He couldn't die, he must never die, his mother said he must live!How willing to die now without knowing why!And those terrible footsteps are still approaching after all...
A pair of white cloud boots suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, unstained by dust, like the first snow on the top of a mountain, or like clouds passing by in the sky.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, grabbed it desperately with all his strength, leaving dazzling bloodstains on the clean white...
Looking up with difficulty, he was facing a pair of clear eyes, but they were bottomless, and there seemed to be a slight smile floating.He seemed to see the stars turning and the flowers blooming and fading in those eyes.
At this moment, the intense flames around him faded away, and the screams and cries were completely indistinct, so quiet that only his dry and trembling voice could be heard: "Immortal... save me..."
The man smiled slowly, his face was obviously ordinary, but suddenly gave birth to an unstoppable brilliance, like a green lotus blooming in the middle of the night.
The voice was like a spring breeze, as if meeting him on the street and greeting him, "I pass by here and want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, can I take you for a ride?"
Xiushui City is located in the lifeline of shipping in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The beautiful silk and silk are mixed with freehand brushwork. Prosperity and tranquility are just rightly mixed in one place, which is extremely romantic in the world.
Just after the end of the new year, every household pastes paper-cut Spring Festival couplets and hangs newly-wrapped bright-colored paper lanterns. The aroma of glutinous rice dumplings wafts out and mixes with the smoke of firecrackers on the long street.But the sky was not beautiful. For several days in a row, the lead cloud was thick and heavy, pressing heavily on the top of the head, making people breathless.
It suddenly cleared up today, the long-lost clear sunshine pierced the floating mist on the green lake, Xiushui City welcomed two guests from the north.To be precise, it was a young man with a child.
The host is a middle-aged man in his forties. He welcomed the guests in with a smile on his face, "Although my yard has been vacant for a while, it is absolutely no problem to tidy up and live in it. From the south window of the master bedroom, you can see the blue sky in the distance. The lake is so bright, this scenery, the No. [-] Luoyan Tower in the south of the Yangtze River can't match it..."
The young man looked around for a week, the vegetation was declining, and the mottled white walls were speckled with dark dust. When he walked into the front hall, the gray tiles were broken, and the cold wind was blowing in. He sighed, "Let's say a price."
The owner smiled even more happily, "The rent is based on the year, and the price is 20 taels per month. If you buy it, you will pay in one lump sum, and I will give you a [-]% discount. I will point out five or six long-term workers from home to add bricks and tiles to repair it. , it will take less than half a day to ensure that the inside and outside will look brand new, and you will live comfortably, this...do you think?"
The young man nodded: "Then buy it."
The owner couldn't wait to sign the deed, put the banknotes in his arms, and left humming a little song.
The five long-term workers arrived in a blink of an eye, and they were busy inside and outside without saying a word, moving the tiles and plastering the walls, which was very difficult.
In less than half a day, this story was spread all over the Linhu alley, and Dong Qian's family lost their conscience and sold the haunted house where people died to two brothers from other places.
The young man looked at the newly renovated courtyard with a smile in his eyes.
The child followed the young man into the room, holding the hem of his clothes timidly, lowering his head slightly, without saying a word, appearing quiet and well-behaved.But if you look carefully, you can see that he is exerting force to the whitened fingertips.
Shen Xingyuan is not a young and innocent child. Before the people from the Shen residence came to pick them up, his mother was just a singer in Shihualou, not even the top card. Although she is still ignorant, she is by her mother's side, but she also knows the coldness of the world.Later in the Shen Mansion, the dirty things in the backyard of the deep house were not less than those in the karaoke building. The so-called most poisonous women's hearts, no woman in the backyard has any means, and life is extremely difficult.
All in all, the best days he has lived are these days with this person.
He was precocious and understood many things early.
Knowing that there are no heroes in the Jianghu who save people without repaying them, there is no good thing in this world for nothing.
The person in front of him seemed gentle and kind, and the reason for saving him was probably just a whim.
However, this person has the ability to fly over the walls as if walking on the ground, and those hideous and terrifying shadows are vulnerable to a single blow in front of him.
He said he would take him to Jiangnan, now that he has arrived, what will happen to him?Drive yourself away?That's right, to him, he was just a burden.
No, absolutely not!Be sure to stay with this person.What kind of people does he like to see?I was quiet and well-behaved along the way, and he didn't react at all, that is, I want to be an innocent and ignorant child who doesn't know the world... The thought is only a moment.
He raised his head suddenly, his nimble eyes were full of tears, and his childish crying voice had a strong nasal voice: "Don't drive me away, I can do anything, really, I can do many things, and I can cook, don't..."
Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head, was stunned for a moment, bent down to wipe the tears of the child in his arms, his movements were gentle but somewhat bewildered.
After being speechless for a long time, Shen Xingyuan secretly thought that this person might have made up his mind to get rid of him. He was desperate for a while, but his face was still crying pitifully.
Suddenly he heard a sigh, "I have a younger brother, but it's a pity that Fu Bo died young. If he is still alive, he should be as old as you..."
Shen Xingyuan hurriedly called out: "Big brother, don't drive me away..."
There was an unexpected surprise after the silence, and the man said, "...That's all, maybe it's fate."
When Shen Xingyuan was eight years old, he met a man named Bai Yanxiu.
Take him away from those swords, lights, swords and shadows filled with blood, and take him out of the nightmares and hoarse cries that entangle him every night.Take him to this Xiushui City.
Start a new life.
From now on there is only peace and tranquility.
Blood was burning down the long street, and he desperately grabbed the man's cloud boots, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
