(Six more chapters owed.)
Chen Ping'an did not go back to Liu Xianyang's house directly, but went back to Mubo Alley first and told Ning Yao about Liu Xianyang's plan.
After Ning Yao heard this, she did not express an opinion. She only said that this is a matter between you. She only collects people's money to help people eliminate disasters. If Liu Xianyang can escape without her taking action, she will I will return the three bags of gold and copper coins. Chen Pingan said that this was not a matter of money, but Ning Yao replied coldly, "So if you want to have a relationship with me, where are we?" Chen Ping'an almost choked to death at her words and had no choice but to squat on the threshold and scratch his head.
Ning Yao glanced at the pastries brought by Chen Pingan on the table. There were cheap and beautiful glutinous rice and jujube cakes, as well as relatively expensive rain and dew dumplings. It must be the young man's best hospitality, so the girl Po Tianhuang felt a little soft-hearted and guilty. For a moment, she felt that she was a little unkind. She ate from others and lived in other people's homes. When encountering difficulties, even if she couldn't help much, she couldn't add fuel to the fire, so she asked: "Is Liu Xianyang working as a blacksmith?" There was a real personal threat at the shop, so he had to sell the green and black armor? For example, there were minions of the Four Surnames and Ten Tribes hiding in the shop, and they secretly taught Liu Xianyang a lesson?"
After Chen Pingan thought for a moment, he shook his head and said: "No, Liu Xianyang is definitely not the kind of person who bows his head and admits defeat when threatened. When I first met him, even though he was beaten by the Fulu Street gang, he vomited blood. , He didn’t even say a word of submission, he just kept carrying it and was almost beaten to death. Liu Xianyang’s temperament has not changed after so many years.”
Ning Yao asked again: “You are so full of energy. , the courage of the spirit, the importance of promises over life and death. In fact, there is no shortage of street heroes. I have seen many of them with my own eyes along the way. But once the big profits are at hand, Liu Xianyang will be tempted by a different kind of temptation. Will Liu Xianyang be able to keep it? Stay true to your heart?"
Chen Pingan fell into deep thought again, and finally said with firm eyes: "Liu Xianyang will not become a prodigal just because of what outsiders give him. He has deep feelings for his grandfather, unless he really As he said, his grandfather told him before he died that the treasure armor can be sold, but not at a low price, and the sword scripture must be kept in their Liu family and be passed down to future generations."
Ning Yao said: "As far as I know, the Hao Zijia is in good condition, but it is not too rare. However, the Sword Scripture has been coveted by Zhengyang Mountain for a long time. , and he did not hesitate to send two people to hunt for the treasure. It is clear that it is a good thing, so it makes sense to sell the treasure armor and keep the sword scripture."
Chen Pingan nodded.
Ning Yao stroked the green scabbard with cold eyes, "To be careful, I will accompany you to Liu Xianyang's house and send the woman away first. Since Liu Xianyang personally said that he wanted to sell it, then the box containing the armor should be moved Just move, and then I will go to Ruan's shop with you, meet Liu Xianyang, and ask him what he thinks. If it is really his grandfather's last will and testament, you and I don't need to point fingers. Every family has things that are difficult to read. "Jing, it's not your responsibility, so don't do it blindly. If not, let him tell you the reason, or I'll take the box back again!"
Chen Ping'an asked worriedly: " Miss Ning, are you okay with your health?"
Ning Yao sneered: "If you deal with the old ape from Zhengyang Mountain, you will definitely be disgraced, but if it is that girl, in this small town , I can do it with just one hand."
Chen Ping'an asked curiously: "Mountain-moving ape?"
Ning Yao said perfunctorily: "An ancient evil left in this world. The beast's true form is a giant ape as big as a mountain. It is said that once it reveals its true form, it can lift a mountain and carry it away. However, these are just rumors, after all, no one has actually seen it. Yangshan has been holding back for hundreds of years. In fact, it has a very deep foundation. Although the sect is not high in Dongbaopingzhou, it should not be underestimated, so it is best if we can not argue with them. If there is an argument, ..."
Chen Pingan asked cautiously: "What should we do if there is a dispute?"
Ning Yao stood up, pushed the knife out of the sheath with his thumb, and looked at him like an idiot. Looking at the boy in straw sandals, the girl said righteously: "What else can we do? Hack them to death!"
Chen Pingan swallowed.
Afterwards, the young man carried a basket and led the girl, who put on her curtain hat again and wore a green knife on her waist, slowly towards Liu Xianyang's ancestral home.
Ning Yao turned around and glanced at the boy's basket, and asked: "Why are there so few today?"
Chen Pingan sighed, "Ma Kuxuan, oh, it's Xinghua Granny Ma's grandson over there in the alley is about the same age as me. Now he seems to be a completely different person. According to him, the town's feng shui has changed, so the stones in the creek are increasingly unable to retain their 'qi'. "
Ning Yao looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "He is right, this town is going to change. You'd better resolve this matter as soon as possible and get out of the town as soon as possible. It is better to come back after leaving than to stay in a small town."
Chen Ping'an is not a stubborn person who never looks back. He has been used to living alone since he was a child, and he knows the warmth and warmth of people better. He prioritized, nodded and smiled: "Yes, as long as I see Liu Xianyang drinking apprenticeship tea with Master Ruan, I will leave here immediately. At the best time, Master Ruan will also promise to make a sword for you."
Looking at the guy with a face full of joy, Ning Yao wondered: "Why are you so happy about things that have nothing to do with you? Why are you not convinced when you are said to be a bad person?"
Probably thinking that the two of them are They were somewhat familiar with each other, and Chen Ping'an was not as secretive in his words as before. He said confidently: "Liu Xianyang, Gu Can, plus you, Miss Ning, think about it, there are so many people in the world, and I only care about the quality of three people, how can I become a good person? "
Ning Yao smiled and asked: "Among those three people, where do I rank?" "
Chen Pingan said sincerely and shyly: "Third for the time being. "
Ning Yao took off his saber, held it casually in his hand, patted the young man's shoulder gently with the scabbard, and said with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, you have to thank me for not killing him. kindness. "
Chen Ping'an asked inexplicably: "Don't you feel annoyed by the decoction? "
Ning Yao was stunned for a moment and understood his thoughts, "Chen Ping'an, I suddenly discovered that you can live quite well even if you go outside. ”
Chen Ping’an was not greedy at all, and said sincerely: “It’s as good as it is now.” "
Ning Yao was noncommittal and gently shook the green knife in his hand, just like a country girl shaking a flower branch.
At the corner of the alley of Liu Xianyang's house, a black shadow suddenly came out, Ning Yao almost pulled out the sword from its sheath, but luckily he held it back in time. It turned out to be a yellow dog, circling intimately around Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan bent down and rubbed the yellow dog's head, stood up and said with a smile: "It's the one next door to Liu Xianyang. The family has raised it, named Laifu, for many years. It is very timid. Liu Xianyang and I used to take it up the mountain, and it would just follow us and join in the fun. Liu Xianyang always disliked it because it couldn't catch mountain rabbits and pheasants. Laifu is not even as good as a cat. Like the cat raised by Ma Kuxuan, it was often seen taking pheasants and snakes into the house. But Laifu is older. He is in his teens, which is very old. "
Having said this, the straw-shoe boy couldn't help but bend down again, touched Laifu's head, and said softly: "You have to live with your age, right? Don’t worry, when I make a lot of money in the future, I won’t starve you. ”
Ning Yao shook her head, she couldn’t empathize with this.
Even if she has traveled along the way, she has seen many people and many things. , ordinary people in the market with naked eyes, the rich and powerful children's angry horses, the demeanor of gods flying in the sky, have seen many joys and sorrows
Ning Yao
There is that Buddha. Travelers at home walked barefoot on begging for alms on a miserable and stormy night, chanting Buddhist chants and walking with firm steps. There were poor scholars who went to Beijing to take exams. In the dilapidated ancient temple, they gently drew eyebrows at the fox charm in human skin, and finally set off again. At that time, even though he knew that his temples were slightly frosty, he had no regrets.
There was a young Taoist with the title of Heavenly Master, walking alone among the ancient battlefields and mass graves, silently reciting the blessings of endless life. Tianzun, at the expense of his own cultivation, leads a path of transcendence for the lonely ghosts. A middle-aged civil servant who personally banned prostitution at the Dragon King Temple when he took office, with chapped lips and bleeding threads, sat down on the edge of the dry river bed. At the incense table, he recited the "Dragon King's Prayer for Rain" hoarsely, and finally, for the sake of the people within his jurisdiction, he knelt down in front of the Dragon King Temple to apologize.
There were some elderly people from the previous dynasty who did not want to take them to serve in the new dynasty. The son, with only his little grandson who was educated in elementary school, climbed to a high place to write poems, facing the brokenness of his family and country.In the old mountains and rivers, I burst into tears, telling my beloved grandson what the names of the states and counties that had been renamed should have been originally. There is a small boat in the thousand-mile long gorge, going straight down the river. There is a scholar who is high-spirited and high-spirited in the sound of apes on both sides of the bank. There is a beautiful woman with armor on her face, who is most stunning while riding a horse and drinking wine after the smoke has settled.
Throughout the journey, seeing and understanding along the way, Ning Yao’s heart towards the Tao has always been as stable as a rock, without any sloppiness.
Now, Ning Yao saw one more scene.
A lonely young man in a back alley, carrying a basket with a fish basket tied to his back and stroking the head of an old dog, was full of hope for the future.
Not long after the two returned to Liu Xianyang's house, someone knocked on the courtyard door. Chen Pingan and Ning Yao looked at each other, and then Chen Pingan went out to open the door. Ning Yao just stood at the door of the house, but she turned around. He glanced at the long sword lying quietly on the counter.
The person who knocked on the door was Lu Zhengchun, naturally led by the woman, and there were also two loyal servants of the Lu family.
Lu Zhengchun had a kind face and asked softly: "You are Liu Xianyang's friend, your name is Chen Pingan, right? We are here to move boxes, Liu Xianyang should have said hello to you. So this bag of money You can accept it with confidence. In addition, our wife promised Liu Xianyang that we will hand it over to him in the future."
Chen Pingan took the bag of money and stepped out of the way gracefully. The generous woman walked into the courtyard first, followed by Lu Zhengchun and two servants. The woman personally opened the red lacquered wooden box that had been placed in the main hall, squatted down, reached out and touched the ugly treasure armor, her eyes There was a moment of confusion, and then there was unconcealable heat and desire, but this emotion was quickly restrained by the woman and her expression returned to normal. After she stood up, she signaled to Lu Zhengchun that he could start moving the box. The things were not heavy, after all, they were inside. There is only one armor.
The woman was the last to leave the house. When she reached the threshold, she looked back at the straw-shoe boy and said with a smile: "Liu Xianyang really treats you as a friend."
Unsure of the meaning. Chen Ping'an had no choice but to say nothing and just sent the group of people away from the yard silently.
Finally, Chen Pingan stood outside the door, refusing to move for a long time, and Ning Yao came to him.
The woman walked behind Lu Zhengchun and the other three. When she reached the end of the alley, she turned around and saw the young girl standing side by side. She said with a playful smile: "It's great to be young, but you have to live." Okay."
————
In the covered bridge across the creek, a tall young man fell in a pool of blood, his body twitching and vomiting blood.
Only this time, this tall boy could never hear a dark and skinny guy yelling "dead" over and over again.
At the steps at the north end of the covered bridge, there were crowds of people and chatter. They watched the excitement from a distance, but they did not dare to approach the young man for fear of getting into trouble.
Two people walked quickly into the covered bridge. The man squatted down, put his hand on the young man’s wrist and checked his pulse, his face was filled with tears.The color is getting heavier.
The girl in green was extremely angry and gritted her teeth and said: "I smashed his chest with one punch, what a cruel method!"
The man did not speak.
The girl in green with a ponytail said angrily: "Dad! You just watch Liu Xianyang being beaten to death like this? Liu Xianyang is half of your apprentice!"
The man never let go of the young man's wrist, expressionless, and said calmly: "How did I know that Dangdang Zhengyang Mountain would be so unruly this time."
The girl stood up suddenly, "You don't care. I'll take care of it!"
The man raised his head and asked slowly: "Ruan Xiu, do you want dad to collect the body for you?"
The girl strode forward and said in a deep voice. : "I, Ruan Xiu, don't just eat one thing! I can also kill people!"
There was a hint of thunderous anger between the man's brows.
A small part of the reason was due to his daughter's stupidity, and more of course it was the vicious actions of the old ape in Zhengyang Mountain.
The man thought for a moment. Since he has not officially taken over Qi Jingchun's position, does that mean that he doesn't have to be so unreasonable?
The girl in green suddenly stopped.
The girl suddenly saw a skinny boy running crazily towards her from the other end of the covered bridge.
She saw that familiar figure, wearing a pair of straw sandals, with an expressionless face.
The two passed each other in an instant. The girl wanted to say something, but she couldn't. She felt aggrieved for no reason and burst into tears.
When the straw-shoe boy sat next to him and reached out to grab one of the tall boy's hands, Liu Xianyang, whose vision had long been blurred, seemed to be a little more energetic. He tried to squeeze out a smile and said intermittently: " The woman said that if I don't hand over the treasure armor, she will kill you... She also said that anyway, she came to our town as a mother and son, and one of them was expelled. She can afford this price. I'm afraid, it will be very difficult. I'm afraid that she will really kill you... What I told you before was actually not all lies. My grandfather did say those words to me, so I thought it was no big deal to sell it... It's just that she just said They asked people to find me again and said that the old man was crazy. As soon as he heard that I didn't have the sword scripture, he insisted on killing you first and then me. I was really worried about you and wanted to say hello to you... so I ran all the way. Here, then I got punched by that old bastard, it hurt a little..."
The straw-shoe boy lowered his head and gently wiped away the blood from the corner of Liu Xianyang's mouth. The boy wrinkled his dark face. With a thin face, he whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, trust me, stop talking, I will take you home..."
The tall boy's strong energy gradually faded away. His eyes wandered, and he murmured: "I don't regret it, and don't blame yourself. It's really... it's just... I'm just a little scared. It turns out that I'm also afraid of death."
In the end, the tall young man died. He squeezed the hand of his only friend and sobbed: "Chen Ping'an, I'm really afraid of death."
Straw SandalsThe young man sat on the ground, holding Liu Xianyang's hand tightly with one hand and holding his fist on his knee with the other hand.
Geezing and breathing hard.
The young boy is like an old dog at this time.
The boy in straw sandals had red eyes.
When he wants to seek justice from God, he becomes more like a dog.
Chen Pingan doesn’t want to do this, and he never wants to do this again in his life!
