This is a small town far away from Songhai. The water surface of Maple River has an ancient charm and is desolate. The breeze blows and misty rain blows on the face.
The Master said on the river, "The deceased is like this."
Time seems to be like the water in the maple river, flowing quietly under the moonlight.
The boat of time makes the water surface so far away that it is so bright. This clarity is like an unfulfilled wish floating on it and sinking in it.
The swaying paddle of the boat is an eternal call to life.
"'Feng Din has been sleeping in the open for several days, and now I finally see an inn. Brother Xiaoyao, should I consider going in to wash away the dust?"
But walking on the bank of the Maple River, wearing a long gown swaying in the night wind, with a slender figure and handsome facial features showing a sense of aura, and with gentle and humble words, who is it? It is the Confucian we have not seen for a long time.
Zhang Liang.
Xiaoyaozi, who was traveling with us here, had brown hair, clear eyebrows and bright eyes. A purple gauze Taoist robe was spotless in the wind. His probing eyes were fixed on the four words a hundred steps ahead: "Red Dust Inn".
"Hongchen Inn? It seems that this is our destination tonight!" The two of them each led a horse and walked straight in that direction.
Desire and destiny complete a complex drama of life. Desire that cannot be shaken off despite removing muscles and bones is the abyss of everyone. If there is an abyss, one will fall and struggle in the world of mortals. This inn is called Red Dust, so it lingers in the world.
What interesting people can Zhang Liang and Xiaoyaozi see in the secular world, and what interesting things can they experience?
Stepping through the door, you will find a stone pavilion inside, elegantly decorated, with night music and music, water and scenery. The raindrops float down along the open air of the courtyard room, moistening the sound of the flute between the buildings.
When the two of them entered, they realized that this inn was quite different from other hotels. They had to pay a deposit of twice the amount of the extra room and board before they could get room and board.
There was a small queue of travelers checking in at the front desk. All of them were dressed as wealthy businessmen, either rich and wealthy, young talents, or officials' sons. The person who collected the bill stood out among the crowd, like a chicken standing out from the crowd.
, is a young and beautiful girl, with a focused expression, handsome face, and clear eyes, like a stream of water, shallow, but extremely clear. In the night lights, the shimmer of spiritual energy shines, making people feel relaxed and happy.
.
"Next person", she never raised her head from beginning to end, her clear voice was like a wind chime in the building, revealing the unique youthfulness of a girl, her slender jade-like hands, her right hand was jumping on the abacus, making people feel that it was without thinking, and at the same time
Holding the brush in his left hand and writing something on the bamboo stick, the whole person is undoubtedly doing two things. When paying the bill, the person who pays the bill will always find a few extra gossips to chat up, either he is rich or rich, or he has a lot of knowledge, and he is all boastful.
I hope she will raise her head to look at him and win Yifang's favor, but she seems to be only focusing on the abacus and pen. When she doesn't listen, she frowns and urges the next person unceremoniously.
At this time, another ignorant man started courting, threw two pieces of shining gold on the counter, and let out a proud laugh: "Little girl, this is the room fee, and the rest is
There’s no need to look for it, just treat it as the uncle I gave it to you, I don’t know if you can handle it.”
The other party did not raise his head and said unceremoniously: "This little money is not even enough for the room fee."
The smug man couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he took out two more gold coins and put them on the table. He laughed like a maniacal laugh: "I don't know, what can I do with this?", between words.
It has some obscene meaning.
The other party still didn't raise his head and said in an indifferent tone: "Enough for you to drink the boiled water, next one."
"Ha! Interesting." A malicious smile appeared on the lips of the rich man. With his noble status, he was rejected by a lowly little girl. His pride was hurt enough, and he shouted arrogantly: "What kind of attitude?
Call your shopkeeper... Humph! This is unreasonable."
Everyone in the inn was immediately disturbed by the situation here and looked over at the same time. They heard the rich man yell loudly and waved his hand to hit the girl on the head.
Zhang Liang, who was behind him, saw this and wanted to step forward, but the movement stopped as soon as he raised his hand halfway, because he recognized that the gentle flute sound in the building suddenly changed, carrying a flying and fierce sound.
The sound waves came down from the tall building, like wind, like fire, like thunder, and used invisible force to force the waving palm to fall to the table quickly and hard.
The experts present were secretly shocked when they heard a crunching sound. The girl and the table were unscathed, but one of the man's palms was disabled, and a painful groan came from his mouth, with an expression of great pain.
The sound of the flute became gentle and low again, and all the ordinary people present did not realize that an outsider was causing trouble. However, the victim clearly felt that this action was not under his will. In the blink of an eye, when he looked at the calm girl with her head lowered,
I have been deeply restrained in my heart, and I don't dare to ignore it. This inn is weird, and I don't dare to stay for a moment longer. I swept my gold with my other hand and ran out. The inn returned to the previous scene, like something happened.
None of this has ever happened.
"Excuse me, are there any rooms?" After a small setback, it was finally Zhang Liang's turn.
"Yes, how many rooms do you want?"
"Brother Xiaoyao, if you don't mind... then please prepare a room for us." In front of the counter, Zhang Liang turned his eyes from Xiaoyaozi to the girl in front of him, then took out the money and slowly
He slowly pushed it to the girl's eyes and asked seriously: "Is this silver enough?"
Xiaoyaozi looked at the silver he put on the table and couldn't help but smile. The smile was meaningful.
The girl heard a quite different, gentle voice, and subconsciously raised her eyes. After this subtle move, her calm expression instantly underwent a more subtle change. Under the long eyelashes, the black pearl-like eyes reflected
She saw a fairy-like face opposite her. She raised her head and stared at Zhang Liang. Gradually, the pink face radiated a faint halo, and her bright eyes reflected that the person opposite seemed to have walked out of a dream.
It came out average.
Zhang Liang felt a little unnatural as she stared at him, and reminded him softly: "We also want to order some food and drinks, um... don't you know how much money we have?"
The girl felt herself losing her composure, her cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly glanced at the cold silver on the table, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
Zhang Liang saw that ray of light and immediately turned his gaze to Xiaoyaozi behind him, telling him to do something?
Of course Xiaoyaozi knew the meaning of his eyes, but he didn't do anything or say a word. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. There was a meaningful playfulness in the smile that made Zhang Liang feel embarrassed. Then he raised his eyebrows lightly,
He simply turned his whole body away from Zhang Liang.
The girl raised her eyes and smiled at Zhang Liang. Her slightly parted lips were lined with sparkling white teeth, and she said: "This little silver is enough!" She answered neatly, and her cold voice before was now as clear as a silver bell.
, staring into Zhang Liang's eyes with a look of anticipation and excitement, and his white fingers rubbed randomly on the beads.
''That's it, thank you very much." Zhang Liang responded with a gentle smile, but the girl was a little crazy at this moment.
"You're welcome!" She responded sweetly, squinting and looking directly into Zhang Liang's bright eyes, feeling that his eyes were like a gentle deer running in the forest, which made people feel extremely comfortable. "Hey! You guys are here.
Sit down on the second floor, and the food and drinks will arrive soon."
After paying the account, Zhang Liang and Xiaoyaozi were arranged to sit in a quiet place on the second floor. Zhang Liang glanced at Xiaoyaozi and saw that he was hesitant to speak with a smile on his face, so he took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to express?
?”
"You know".
Zhang Liang pretended not to care and said: "Oh? Really?"
Xiaoyaozi finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Ah! Zifang, Zifang, it's a waste to go out and run around with this fairy-like face of yours. Even with this face, it's no wonder that it has become the object of girls' admiration."
Also, this place looks like a luxurious inn. Look at the generosity of others, and then look at yourself. I estimate that with the little money you spent, let alone a table of food and wine, I’m afraid
It's not even enough to pay for tonight's accommodation. That girl doesn't look like someone who is in a loss-making business. She accepted your meager deposit so simply. I'm worried that if you can't settle the bill by then, she will just leave it.
Are you keeping it here?"
Zhang Liang avoided Xiaoyaozi's teasing gaze and started laughing instead: "Haha! Brother Xiaoyao was joking. At that time, my light clothes and simple clothes were too tight, so I didn't bring much money. Later I heard that you were already short of money, so I had no choice but to do so."
I have no choice but to save some money and live in a single room for two people. Do you have any objections?"
''Hahahaha! Then why don't you just tell that girl that you forgot to bring money and can you stay overnight? She will definitely agree readily. Wouldn't it be more economical this way, huh? Hahaha??????
?”
Zhang Liang smiled sinisterly and asked sarcastically: "As the old saying goes, restrain oneself and return to etiquette. Do you really think that I am someone who is trying to push the envelope?"
‘‘The way of a gentleman is to never tire of dusting, haha! If you are like this, then I have nothing to say.”
Some people can achieve great success without extra gestures. There is another flute player in the curtain on the upper floor. Only a pair of clean and thin hands are exposed, constantly changing the Xiao Kong, and the elegant notes flow from the fingers.
It is revealed from time to time, dyeing the night rain into the blue of the sky and water like a dream, and the elegant notes spread to the mountains and rivers outside, as if depicting this picturesque ink-colored country.
"This inn is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden," Zhang Liang said, suddenly squinting his eyes and changing the subject. After a while, a bright smile appeared on his face and he sighed: "It's really hidden in the city. Guess
,Who did I see?"
Xiaoyaozi didn't bother to guess, and looked directly through the rain in the central pool. Sure enough, there was a particularly memorable figure. If he wanted to use words to express the surprise in his heart at this moment, then there is a saying in the world, "You can't find a place after wearing iron shoes?"
????
Zhang Liang looked at the back of an old man in the same building, frowning slightly. There were bright stars in his bright eyes, which made people feel the vastness and vastness.
"Listen, the unexpected footsteps, breathing, and the breeze and drizzle in the ears." Although the man's back was turned to them and they were far away, the vigorous voice could be heard through the rain falling from the sky.
, clearly reached the ears of Zhang Liang and Xiaoyaozi, "Ah, when I woke up from my dream in the morning, I heard the footsteps of my old friend approaching."
''Could it be that you have already prepared for this day to come, senior brother?'' Xiaoyaozi spoke in a steady tone, as if he was speaking to the air in front of him.
Under the hazy rain curtain, you can see the white hair hanging on the back of the figure, and the green gauze robe seems to be shaking in the windless air.
In the sky in the courtyard-style hollow of the inn, the rainy night turned into a frozen ink rain with a blue silk curtain, while a peach blossom tree in the restaurant was decorated with raindrops, making it bright and pink.
At the front desk downstairs, the girl who was still busy fiddling with the abacus suddenly paused. Her thoughts should have been quite active, but tonight the fourth brother's little voice suddenly seemed to make people feel...
The surprisingly cold air makes people feel that spring has not come yet and the cold winter is still there.
