The sky is dim and the cold rain is falling.
On the muddy road, two teenagers wearing raincoats each led a horse and walked slowly.
It’s not that they can’t get on the horse and ride, it’s just that the horse is already loaded with luggage. If the weight of people is added to it, it will be easy to get stuck in bad road conditions. It's even more troublesome.
This was how traveling was done in ancient times. A little bit of bad weather would make the journey extremely difficult. In short... just get used to it.
"It's really unlucky. It was okay to look at the sky when I came out in the morning, but it rained like this halfway through the walk. Maybe I will catch a cold tonight." Huang Donglai complained as he walked.
"What the hell, you have the nerve to say that?" Sun Yixie was obviously very unhappy, "Aren't you a Taoist priest? You can't tell whether it's going to rain or not?"
"Do you think Taoist priests are Transformers? Can they turn into weather satellites?" Huang Donglai immediately replied, "If I could figure out that there is rain in some areas, I might as well go to the imperial court and hang out in the Qintian Prison. Isn't this a good job?"
"Tsk..." Sun Yixie curled his lips and said, "Isn't it vulgar to say that you are a Taoist who only thinks about becoming an official and getting rich all day long?"
"Brother Sun, you are not ordinary. You traveled far away with 6,000 taels of 'mother's love'. If you didn't know, you would have thought you were going to buy a mountain." Huang Donglai tilted his head and said, "I Unlike you, my family has been in decline for many years. Can I be more decent?"
"Mao~" Sun Yixie said, "You Huang Clan is also the best in Shu. No matter how you decline, how can you, the young master of the Huang Clan, submit to such an official position?"
"Ha..." Huang Donglai said with a smile, "I have already gone up the mountain to become a Taoist priest, what else can I not give in to? Just go wherever you want."
"Then you can just come to Hangzhou to do business with me. I will be responsible for the operations and you will be responsible for wishing our competitors a prosperous business. I don't think so. We took off in five years." It was nonsense anyway, and Sun Yixie wasn't afraid to take it a step further.
“Get out~ I don’t want it!” Huang Donglai replied without even thinking, “I want to give it a try first with Bai Xiaosheng, a professional commentator in the martial arts world. If it fails, I will consider your plan.”
p>"Ha!" Sun Yixie said with a smile, "Okay, let me see how many people you kill with one shot."
The two of them were walking on the road as usual, On one side, they were taunting and trying to make things difficult for each other, just to relieve their boredom.
Speaking of which, since they left Gengjia Village and crossed Xingxing Mountain, they had hardly experienced any good weather. Just crossing the Weishui River delayed them for a day, and then they were there every day. Walking on this muddy road.
But fortunately, they are not in a hurry, so just take it slow.
"Eh? What happened in front of you?" While they were chatting, Huang Donglai suddenly saw something from a distance and spoke.
Although it was daytime at this time, visibility was not high due to rain, and Sun Yixie's eyesight was not good, andAfter walking a few steps forward and squinting, I finally saw what Huang Donglai was pointing to.
It turned out that there was a pavilion dozens of meters in front of them.
At this moment, there were two figures in the pavilion, one sitting and one standing; and on the roadside outside the pavilion, there was another person - a kneeling person.
The closer the double harmony comes, the clearer it becomes.
But I saw that the two people in the pavilion were both women: the one sitting was dressed in plain clothes and had a dignified temperament. Although her face was beautiful and her charm was still there, there was still a vague look at the corners of her eyes and lips. It can be seen that the traces left by the years have left traces, and she must be at least thirty-seven or eighteen years old; and the one standing is a young girl, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, although she is dressed in the same fashion as the woman. She is simple, but her appearance is much more eye-catching. She can be said to be picturesque, elegant and unforgettable.
The man kneeling outside the pavilion is a tall and thick man. He is wearing a black suit. He has a curvy beard and gray temples. He is taller than others even when he is kneeling.
As for the age of this person, it is difficult to judge, because his appearance is similar to Zhang Fei in many movies and TV dramas, and he looks the same from twenty to fifty years old.
"Isn't this a proposal for marriage?" This was Sun Yixie's first reaction.
"How is that possible?" Huang Donglai said, "Do you think it's a marriage proposal from our 'world'? Here, marriage proposals are all done by matchmakers. Where can I kneel in the rain by myself?" He paused and then said, "In my opinion, maybe this is an apprenticeship?" Sun Yixie thought for a while, "So the elder sister in the pavilion is a master?" ?”
“I don’t know how tall she is, but just by looking at her sitting posture and demeanor, and the way the girl next to her stands, I know they are both martial arts practitioners. And his martial arts skills are not bad." Huang Dong replied, "That man... is undoubtedly a martial artist. Look at him, kneeling in the rain on such a cold day, not even trembling. The back is also extremely stable, which even I may not be able to do."
"Well..." At this time, Sun Yixie's curiosity was aroused, "Brother Huang, how about that. Let's go and watch the fun?"
"Want to see the fun?" Huang Donglai raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Sun, I'm afraid he doesn't want to watch the fun, but wants to see the people?"
p>"Damn..." Sun Yixie felt a little guilty after being exposed, so he instinctively used a modal particle first, "What's the difference? Isn't the excitement created by people?"
"Haha..." Huang Donglai smiled and was too lazy to answer his sophistry, "Okay, I'll go with you to see it, okay?"
As the two of them talked, it was almost the same. We have arrived near the pavilion.
They didn't say much, just tied their horses to a pillar on the roadside, quickly passed by the big man, and both got under the eaves of the pavilion.
"Sorry to bother you."
"Brother borrowed itLet's take shelter from the rain. ”
These two guys are so shameless that they walked in regardless of the fact that there were already people in the pavilion. Of course, the space in the pavilion was not small, and there was still a certain distance between them and the two women. The distance had no effect.
When they stood in the pavilion, the woman did not look at them. She just silently picked up the wine glass on the table in front of her and took a slow sip. < /p>
The girl quietly rolled her eyes to the side, but she quickly hid her disgusted expression.
The pavilion on the roadside is public after all. The place is just like today's stations. You can come in to take shelter from the rain, and so can others. It doesn't mean that the place is yours if you occupy it first, so it's really hard for them to say anything.
But " "Don't say anything", but made the atmosphere very tense.
Before Shuang Xie entered the pavilion, the three people were not talking. After Shuang Xie entered the pavilion, there were only five people gathered here, or No one speaks, how embarrassing is that?
Sun and Huang wanted to break the deadlock, but at this time, you have to say "It's raining really hard", which is not nutritious. It's embarrassing - it's just as embarrassing as when a beautiful girl takes the initiative to sit next to you at sunset, but you can only say "the wind is very noisy today"
But you remain in a stalemate. It's not a solution... Everyone knows that if you continue to delay like this, the final result will be that Huang Donglai will break the silence with "Brother Sun, just watch, I'll take a shit." This is everyone, especially Sun Yi. Xie didn't want to see it.
So, after a while, Sun Yixie took the lead and spoke: "Brother, although I don't know why you are kneeling there, I really can't bear it. I just want to ask...why don't you come and kneel in the pavilion? Wouldn't it be nice to have an eaves to block some rain? ”
In those days, it was quite taboo for a man to take the initiative to talk to a strange woman in public, so when Sun Yixie had nothing to say, he became the man to talk to.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Brother Sun finished speaking, the big man slowly turned his face and glared at him, as if all the anger that had been suppressed for a long time was gathered into four words. , and shouted at him: "None of your business! "
Of course, it doesn't matter what his attitude is, as long as he doesn't ignore Sun Yixie, then Sun Yixie's action will be considered a success.
"Hey~" The next second, Brother Sun smiled and said, "Did the dog bite Lu Dongbin? I'm kindly reminding you, but you still don't appreciate it. "
Before he finished speaking, he heard the girl on the other side murmur softly: "Hmph...it's obvious that she wants to be laughed at, and she's pretending to be a good person. "
She didn't say this loudly. She probably wanted to say it to the woman next to her, but it turned out... the other three people obviously heard it too.
< p>"Talk too much. "Although the woman said this to the girl immediately.But Sun Yixie seized the opportunity, because with the girl,The last sentence means that he did not take the initiative to talk to others, but that they spoke first.
"Hey! Since the girl has made it clear, I won't pretend anymore." As Sun Yixie said, he came to the woman with a playful smile and gave a salute, "I'm Sun Yixie. , we can be regarded as people from the world of martial arts. Brother Huang and I just passed by here and saw this scene. We also saw that the three of us are friends in the martial arts world, so we couldn't help but be curious and wanted to come over and see where this song was sung. "Come out." He paused for half a second and then added, "Of course, if it's not convenient to tell us... we won't ask any more and leave now."
"Sun. ...Also...Xie?" When the woman heard the name, she showed a thoughtful expression. She must have heard of the name "Dongxi".
But before she could answer Brother Sun, the big man kneeling outside the pavilion spoke first: "What? Are you Sun Yixie?" He said, and immediately turned Sun Yixie from head to head. He looked at his feet twice more, and then turned his gaze to Huang Donglai aside, "Then this 'Brother Huang'...is this Young Hero Huang Donglai?"
"That's right." Huang Donglai answered himself. He stepped forward and bowed to the big man, "Does this big brother recognize me?"
The big man did not answer immediately. After a flash of eyes, he asked again: "Are you really Sun Yi?" Harmony with Huang Donglai?"
"This..." Sun Yixie turned to look at Huang Donglai and said, "Do we still need to find a way to prove it?"
"That's not necessary." At this time, the woman suddenly joined their conversation, "As soon as Shaoxia Huang came in, I smelled the smell of medicine on his body, but I didn't expect that you were the one from Huangmen. Young Master..."
Her words revealed a lot of information.
First of all, she could smell and judge that the smell of Huang Donglai contained a "medicinal smell", which meant that she knew at least one of the two disciplines of medicine and poison.
Secondly, whether she is a doctor or a poisoner, she or the girl next to her should have some medicinal smell on her body, but Huang Donglai did not notice any similar smell on their bodies. I just smell a little bit of the powdery smell that women have on their bodies.
You must know that Brother Huang’s sense of smell is much higher than that of ordinary people. Although rainy days will affect his smell, the conditions are the same for the other party. From this, it can be inferred that this woman At least in terms of smell, people are even better than Huang Donglai.
"Sun Shaoxia! Huang Shaoxia! It's really you!" After a breath, before Huang Donglai could test the woman with words, the big man over there took over the conversation and shouted loudly.
"You... have something to do with us?" Sun Yixie became nervous now. He was afraid that this big man, like Chang Youfeng, was an enemy they had never met.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the big man crossed his arms and clasped his fists, and said with excitement: "The next deputy director of the Yong Escort Bureau, Zuo Dingkun, would like to ask the two young heroes to accept my bow! ”
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Dingkun was already aHis head hit the ground.
This is great, Shuangxi was so lively that he saw himself in it.
Zuo Dingkun knocked his head, and then he knocked out that one - Mr. Zuo met a noble man in the rain pavilion, and the tiger in the stone came back to life again.
