Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "swish" sound, and an arrow flew past the ears of two people. Before they could figure out what was going on, a second arrow shot over again. Fortunately, the two

Everyone is agile and well prepared,

As soon as he dodged and flew past the two people's noses, he heard the bay red horse behind him neighing. It turned out that the arrow missed the two people, but hit the horse's butt. The people on the boat

They were so frightened that Shu Yan flew toward the arrow.

Looking in the direction, there was a small boat not far from the big ship he was riding on. There were two people on the boat. One was rowing, and the other was drawing a bow and shooting arrows. Seeing that the third arrow was about to fly over, he hurriedly turned behind him.

Grab the one given by Eunuch Tang

With a hard bow, he took out a long arrow from the quiver and put it on the string. It happened that the opponent's third arrow was shooting out. As soon as Shu Yan took aim, a strong wind broke the arrow in the air. Even so, this one

The vigor of the long birch arrows has not diminished, and the arrows are fired from the boat

The man had no time to dodge, and the arrow pierced his left arm. Immediately afterwards, Shu Yan strung another arrow. This was the "joining" technique taught to him by Eunuch Tang. He shot three arrows in a row, killing these two people.

His life only lasted in the blink of an eye. But Shu

Yan drew the bow full and was about to release the arrow when he suddenly thought: I don't know these two people. They have no grievances. Why bother taking their lives before I understand the situation? But these two people are chasing me.

It is a hidden danger after all. Thinking of this, he slightly moved the arrow

Slightly downward, let go and flew towards the deck of the boat. The hundreds of kilograms of power of this heavy bow were concentrated on this small arrow. If this kind of arrow could be fixed on the city bricks when attacking a city,

How can this deck hold up? The two people on the boat were scared

Shaking like chaff, he suddenly saw that the arrow did not shoot towards him, but penetrated the deck, and water immediately surged up along the small hole. The people on the big ship felt a little calmer, and the big ship was still moving forward.

, but the boat could not move forward and approached the shore.

Shu Yan saw no danger, turned around, and saw that the young man had pulled out the arrow from the horse's butt, and was weeping while treating its wound. Fortunately, the shot was not deep, and the young man brought wound medicine with him.

, no serious problem.

"Is your horse okay?"

The young man said aggrievedly: "It's all your fault... This horse has been with me since he was a child. As he grows up, I have never been willing to beat it, but I don't want to suffer such an injury because of you!"

Shu Yan was also aggrieved. He explained: "It's not necessarily because of me. I haven't offended anyone. The arrow was aimed at the two of us. I don't know who it was aimed at."

The young man stared and said, "You mean those two people came for me?"

"No, no, no, I feel confused too. I mean, I didn't offend anyone..."

"Did I offend someone? I've been walking for so long and I've never encountered anything like this. Is this coming for you? I'll know later that they won't let it go. I'm so unlucky to meet you. Hey, this

One day, stay away from you as soon as possible, otherwise your life will be in danger!" After saying that, the young man led the horse and walked to the other side of the ship.

Shu Yan sat down alone, put the bow next to him, and looked into the distance from time to time to strengthen his precautions. It was already dark at this time, and fishing fires were lit everywhere on the water. The boat was floating on the river, and the fishing fires at night were the most powerful.

Arouse people's feelings of longing——

I miss my hometown and my people. Shu Yan thought of being alone, wandering towards an unknown distance. It was only the first day that he encountered danger. If the man hadn't been bad at archery, he might have been dead. In the future,

I don’t even know what will happen...

Shu Yan was sighing secretly when he suddenly heard a burst of flute sound coming from the opposite side. The flute sound was whining, high and low, sad and melodious. The player was the young man, and the melody he played was the song of longing. His technique was superb.

The sound of the flute is unique and obviously has the wind of being outside the Great Wall. The boat is full of people who are away from home. Looking at the fishing fire and listening to the sound of the flute, they can't help but be moved by the scene and indulge in it.

After the song ended, the young man came over again leading the horse. Shu Yan asked: "Brother, aren't you afraid that you will be implicated if you stay with me? Why are you back again?"

The young man said calmly: "When in danger, two people are better than one."

Shu Yan smiled and said: "You mean - you can protect me?"

"That's not possible, but it's possible."

"Maybe, things are unpredictable." Shu Yan looked at him, "There are too many unknown things, just like your flute. Who would have expected that at your age you could play such an exquisite and desolate tune, and it was a piece outside the Great Wall.

wind!"

"Hahaha." The young man smiled after hearing this: "I grew up in Xiqiang since I was a child, so of course I can play the music beyond the Great Wall."

"Ah, then you are a Qiang?"

"You could say that."

"Is your flute the famous Qiang flute?"

"yes."

"I heard that you Qiang people are the best at playing the flute, and your flute is different from the flute of the Central Plains people. The flute of the Central Plains is played with a single pipe horizontally, while your flute is played with double pipes vertically. Is this true? Can you take a look?"

The young man handed him the flute and said, "No, here you go, see for yourself."

Shu Yan was overjoyed. He took it over and saw that the flute was indeed a double-barreled flute, two feet long. Each flute had four holes in the front, one hole in the back, and a large hole in the middle of the end. It was purple in color and felt very tight.

He asked in surprise: "Most flutes are made of bamboo. What is your flute made of? Why is it so heavy?"

The young man looked cheerful and said with a smile: "Of course, my flute is made of purple jade. If it were ordinary jade, it would be difficult to make such a long flute. Only this kind of purple jade is soft in texture and can be made by skilled craftsmen."

It was polished carefully, so we have this flute.”

Shu Yan said: "I can't blame you Qiang people for being famous for your Qiang flutes. It turns out they are not made of bamboo."

The young man laughed again after hearing this, "What the hell! Do you think any of us Qiang people can afford such a flute? What a joke! To tell you the truth, although we Qiang people are good at playing the flute, the flutes we play are also

It is made of bamboo, and there is no other purple jade flute like mine in your whole Jin Dynasty, let alone in Xiqiang."

"Purple jade flutes are also heard in the Central Plains, but they are not double-barrelled. I heard that the sound of this kind of flute is the most unique and cannot be compared with ordinary bamboo flutes." Shu Yan said, holding the flute to his mouth.

When the young man saw this, he snatched the flute away with a "swish" and said, "Stop playing randomly!"

Shu Yan was startled and thought to himself: It turns out that this person is so stingy. I didn’t want to brag about it. I just made gestures and he refused!

Seeing that Shu Yan was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed, the young man hurriedly explained: "Brother Shu, don't get me wrong, you can't play this flute casually."

Shu Yan asked suspiciously: "Why?"

"Uh..." The young man hesitated for a moment, pointed at Shu Yan's heavy bow and said, "If you want to play with my baby, why don't you tell me to play with your baby?"

"This? Why can't I give it to you?" Shu Yan said and handed over the heavy black iron bow.

The young man just said it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cheerful. He reached out and took it, and smiled casually: "Don't look at me, I haven't played this before. It must be easy to play..." He also wanted to be full like Shu Yan.

Make a bow gesture

, Unexpectedly, the handle was painful but he could only pull it 10% full. Unwilling to accept it, he put on his finger, gritted his teeth, and tried all his strength to pull again, but it was only 20% full. He was so angry that he threw away the bow.

To Shu Yan, he said: "You are not fun."

Shu Yan took it and said with a smile: "You played with mine, now it's my turn to play with yours."

"Well..." the young man hesitated, "uh...this flute of mine...you can't just play it casually."

The other party still refused, and Shu Yan certainly couldn't force him. Although he couldn't play the flute, having this young man as his companion along the way made Shu Yan less lonely on the journey.

The boat trip lasted only a day, and the waterway was exhausted. People abandoned the boat and went ashore, parted ways, and said goodbye to each other. It was not far from Luoyang, and there happened to be a large market town on the shore. It was already getting late, Shu Yan

Carrying my luggage, I saw a Xiangyun Inn in front of me.

He walked in and asked for a pot of tea, a plate of side dishes, and two bowls of rice. As soon as the rice was served, he saw the young man leading the bay-red horse also came in from the door, sat down opposite Shu Yan, and said to

Shu Yan said: "Brother Shu, should you invite me?"

Shu Yan smiled and said, "It's okay to ask you, but there must be a reason."

The young man rolled his eyes: "Well, don't you think you owe me a favor?"

Shu Yan smiled and asked again: "What kind of favor? Tell me about it."

The boy's eyes widened: "In order to save you, I jumped into the river and almost drowned. Doesn't this count?"

Shu Yan smiled and said: "Although you jumped into the river to save me, you couldn't save me. I saved you instead. This is even. But it was you who threw my flower into the river in the first place. It was you who caused it. I was in vain."

What do you mean by losing the flower?"

The young man Li Qu said, "What do you mean by your flowers? My horse was hurt by you and received an arrow in the butt. How can I say that?"

"Humph, I told you a long time ago. We still don't know who is affected by whom. It's hard to make a conclusion now."

The young man said shamelessly: "In any case, you only lost a pot of flowers. As for me, drowning is not counted, and the horse was injured, so my loss is huge, so you have to compensate me."

Shu Yan has always been open-minded towards others, so he doesn't care about having a meal. He was just joking with the boy just now.

"Okay, let's consider it as if I owe you." Shu Yan said with a smile, and then said to the waiter, "Same meal, get another one."

"Wait a minute." The young man waved his hand and looked at the food table, "Brother Shu, you are so stingy. Are you just going to eat this when you invite someone to dinner?"

"This is not enough...otherwise, what do you want to eat?"

"We Qiang people can't eat without mutton!" After the young man finished speaking, he shouted to the waiter: "Bring two pots of good shochu and two roasted fat legs of lamb. Remember to ask for the hind legs." After that, he drank.

He took a sip of tea on the table and spat it out before he could swallow it. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This tea is only suitable for gargling. Throw it out quickly and get two new pots of tea."

Although Shu Yan is open-minded to others, he has never been extravagant and wasteful. I really can't stand seeing the young man like this today, but it's hard to get angry."

After a while, two pots of tea were brought up. The boy took a sip and said, "Well, this is just right!" After waiting for a while, two pots of wine and two plates of roasted lamb legs were also brought. The boy grabbed a cup with his hands.

He started to gnaw on the leg of lamb, and while gnawing, he said: "It's not bad." After saying that, he filled a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Shu Yan saw that the way he ate was really indecent.

After seeing this, he used chopsticks to tear off a piece of the leg of lamb on his plate and ate it. Seeing this, the young man snatched the chopsticks and threw it on the ground. Then he picked up the leg of lamb with his bare hands and handed it to Shu Yan, "Shu Yan

Brother, you can’t eat the leg of lamb like you do, you have to eat it by the hand to make it delicious, don’t be polite, show your pride in shooting away the bad guys the day before yesterday!”

After hearing this, Shu Yan laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Then he grabbed a leg of lamb with his left hand, bit it in his mouth, pulled his hand to the left, twisted his head to the right, and bit off a piece of meat.

"Sure enough, it's so satisfying to eat like this."

"This is the right thing!"

"It's rare to be so happy today. Oh, by the way, haven't you asked me your name?"
