Carrying the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 106 - Words from the Shangguan
Xue Hu was drinking while driving a carriage, bumping along the rugged mountain road. Gu Xiao lazily leaned in the car and admired the mountain scenery of Lingzhou. Although he had been in Lingzhou for a few days, he had been entangled with Chi Qianren and others.
, where can I have the leisure time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lingzhou?
Now, according to Brother Tianya's instructions, I went to the city to do shopping. Since I have stolen half a day's leisure, why not take this opportunity to appreciate the snow scenery here. Especially this winter, the warm sun shines on the body through the layers of tree shadows, which makes people unable to resist.
Feeling lazy.
Gu Xiao felt sleepy due to the jolting of the carriage, and he leaned against the carriage in a daze with his eyes closed. Lin'er was very curious about the mountains in the area, and kept looking around with a pair of apricot eyes.
Ta Xue in his arms seemed to have returned to his hometown in Wugui Mountain. He was very excited in Lin'er's arms. He wanted to jump out of the car several times to find some hares and pheasants, but Lin'er was worried about him and held him down. However, Gu Xiao understood.
With his habit of walking in the snow, how could he, as the 'Overlord of Wugui Mountain', suffer a loss in Lingzhou?
Although he closed his eyes to rest, Gu Xiao still asked Lin'er to let Tuxue go as he wanted. Seeing that Lin'er agreed to it, Tuxue immediately stretched out his pink tongue and licked Lin'er's palm, then jumped out of the carriage and plunged into the snow.
, and started running with the carriage.
Lin'er watched Texue's figure disappear in the forest, and couldn't help but patted Gu Xiao worriedly, and said, "Texue is gone, do you want..." However, she saw that Gu Xiao had fallen asleep on the side.
I couldn't help but admire Gu Xiao's broad-mindedness, but just when Lin'er looked around and called for Taxue, he saw that Texue had emerged from the snow at some point, with half of the leftover snow rabbit still in his mouth.
Lin'er felt relieved now, thinking that Gu Xiao had already known the habit of walking in the snow, so she allowed herself to let him play in the snow.
Seeing the snow rabbit in its mouth, Lin'er couldn't help but think of the roast rabbit in the Fengxue Temple. She smiled and turned to look at Gu Xiao, who was sleeping soundly. The boy was leaning against the carriage, sleeping soundly.
Lin'er pulled up the cloak and gently put it on Gu Xiao. After the two set off, they took off the mask of Yi Rong and looked at the young man's sleeping face in the carriage. Lin'er held up his chin and looked at it secretly. Thinking back to these days of getting along.
, her pretty face turned slightly red.
Just when Lin'er was looking at the sleeping Gu Xiao with all his attention, the carriage suddenly stopped. It seemed that Xue Hu saw some emergency and stopped the carriage.
Lin'er in the car was holding her chin up and looking at Gu Xiao. This sudden stop almost threw Lin'er out of the car. Just when Lin'er was about to fall out, Gu Xiao woke up quickly and his arms were relaxed.
Take Lin'er down.
During the three years of experience in going down the mountain, Gu Xiao developed the habit of staying vigilant even when sleeping, which is why he reacted so quickly, and with sleepy eyes, Gu Xiao asked Lin'er: "Are you okay?
"
Seeing Gu Xiao's reaction, Lin'er said that he had been taking a nap in the car earlier, so he had seen her secretly looking at him. Lin'er's pretty face was red, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Gu Xiao didn't know what the girl was thinking. He only thought that Lin'er was disturbed by this unexpected situation. Before he could recover, he was about to speak to comfort him, but he saw Xue Hu's big head following his rough voice and got into the car and shouted.
Said: "Master, Brother Gu, there is a man squatting on the road in front of me. I didn't pay attention and almost bumped into him. You are all right..."
Xue Hu originally came to inform the two people in the car about the situation ahead, but when he stretched his head in, he saw Gu Xiao holding his master's waist. Even though this big man didn't understand the relationship between men and women, he also saw some clues at this moment. His master had a pretty face.
The red one was lying on Brother Gu's arm. Brother Gu looked sleepy. Could it be...
Not daring to think too much, Xue Hu quickly turned his head to the side and shouted loudly: "I didn't see anything."
Seeing that her guards had misunderstood, Lin'er was filled with shame and anger, and hurriedly got up from Gu Xiao's arms. Gu Xiao's sleepiness receded slightly, and after hearing Xue Hu's words, he realized what he was doing. In order to ease the embarrassing situation, he asked Xue Hu
He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Xue, did you just say that someone was squatting on the road?"
"Yes, he is also wearing white clothes. You can't see clearly from a distance. If I hadn't grabbed the reins in time, I'm afraid we would have bumped into him." Xue Hu replied with his head turned away.
Lin'er saw that Gu and Xiao were answering questions and no longer paying attention to the embarrassing situation just now. Then Lin'er's shyness faded slightly and she said to Gu Xiao: "We have been walking for a long time. According to what brother Tianya said, this place is not far from Ling."
We are close to the state capital, how come there are still people who dare to commit suicide here?"
"Let's go and take a look." Gu Xiao was also curious, so he opened the curtain, got out of the carriage and went to check.
Lin'er then stood up and wanted to go forward, but happened to see Xue Hu turning his head, gouging out Xue Hu in shame and anger, and then quickly followed Gu Xiao's pace. Xue Hu was left scratching his head and sighing, but the guard
With his job in hand, Xue Hu tied the reins of his horse and caught up with Lin'er.
As Gu Xiao got closer, he could see clearly. It was exactly as Xue Hu said. A man was squatting in the middle of the road with his back to the direction of the carriage. His shoulders were shaking, as if he was throwing something in his hands.
Approaching this person, Gu Xiao saw his true appearance. This person was about thirty-five or sixty years old. He was wearing a tattered crane cloak. His beard and hair were messy, but his handsome face could not be concealed. A pair of eyes shone with wisdom. And his
He was throwing several coins in his hand and mumbling something in his mouth.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but be curious, and approached him, finally hearing his words clearly.
"The sky is the sky, the sun is the wind, the sun is down and the sun is up, I am happy to meet friends in a foreign land." The man in the crane cloak squatted, picked up the copper plate on the ground, and threw it up again.
The three copper coins spun around in the air several times and landed on the snow. The man in the crane cloak picked up the coins again and lost them three times in a row.
Gu Xiao was curious, so he watched from the side without making a sound. He just watched quietly as the man in the crane cloak threw the coins, and then made a silent gesture towards Lin'er and Xue Hu who were walking behind him.
The three of them, Gu and Xiao, just watched quietly as the man in the crane cloak picked up the copper plate in front of him and listened to him murmuring to himself: "It's Xiu Gua again. It's freezing cold here. How can I meet friends in a foreign country?"
Then the man stood up and stretched: "That's all, that's all. It's not easy to do divination today because of evil spirits. It's better to go into the city early and have a glass of wine to warm up."
Gu Xiao saw that the man had finished the divination, and then he said, "Brother, are you going to enter Lingzhou City?"
The man in the crane cloak seemed startled by Gu Xiao's words. He looked back and saw the three of Gu Xiao standing behind him. They stared at Gu Xiao's face for a long time. The man in the crane cloak smiled and said: "It turns out that the hexagrams are true.
I just met a friend in a foreign country, little brother, what did you say just now?"
"It's freezing cold here, and there are no people in front or behind. If brother, I'm afraid it will take some time to go to Lingzhou on foot. I happen to have a carriage down here. If brother doesn't give up, why not go with us for the journey?" Gu Xiao looked at this.
Although the man looked unkempt, he could not conceal his charm, so he invited him to come with him.
"Yes, this big brother, this place is desolate. We meet each other, it's fate. Why don't we give you a ride?" Lin'er also said.
The man in the crane cloak who had been staring at Gu Xiao was attracted by Lin'er's opening. He turned around and saw Lin'er's appearance. The original contentment suddenly disappeared. He only saw his broad eyebrows slightly frowning. He walked to Lin'er's side and surrounded Lin'er.
He looked at it.
This made the guard Xue Hu a little angry. Brother Gu and his master invited him kindly, but this man was rude. He stepped forward and said angrily: "You man, why are you so rude? My master saw you alone. If
Going to Lingzhou is very unchanging, so I brought him along with my kindness, but you are rude."
The man didn't seem to hear Xue Hu's words. He took a few steps back, scratched his head and said: "Dragon bones and phoenix shapes, why did they become common people? No, no."
Seeing the man's crazy look, Lin'er didn't mind, stopped Xue Hu, and then said: "Brother, the three of us still have important things to do. If we don't give up, we have to leave quickly."
Gu Xiao was also confused by what the man said here and there. Lin'er opened his mouth, and then Gu Xiao remembered that it was more important to go to Lingzhou to buy dry food first.
He immediately said: "Brother, as this girl said, the three of us are going to leave right now. If brother doesn't want to, we won't force it, so we can just leave."
After saying that, he winked at Lin'er and Xue Hu, and the three of them walked towards the carriage. Seeing that Gu Xiao and the others were about to leave, the man hurriedly chased after them and stopped them in front of them.
"姤GUA,姤GUA, when you meet a friend in a foreign land, it's better to be a friend than a companion." Seeing that Gu Xiao and others were about to leave, the man hurriedly said.
Seeing that this man was crazy, Gu Xiao sympathized with him and immediately took him into the carriage. As Xue Hu flicked the whip in his hand, the carriage got back on the road and set off again towards Lingzhou.
Although it was with good intentions, Gu Xiao felt a little embarrassed for a moment when he was stared at like this, so he had to sit still.
"What's your surname, little brother? Where are you from? How old are you this year?" After staring at Gu Xiao for a long time, the man in the crane cloak finally spoke.
Gu Xiao scratched his head. This man behaved strangely, but since he had taken him with him, he could not drive him out of the car. He could only talk to the man: "My surname is Mu, my last name is Yi, and I am eighteen years old.
People from Liangzhou.”
"Eighteen is good, eighteen is good!" The man in the crane coat was familiar with him, and he didn't feel that Gu Xiao was perfunctory. He seemed to be very happy when he heard about Gu Xiao's life and age, and then glanced at the hug next to Gu Xiao.
Lin'er, who was walking in the snow, continued to speak: "Is this girl your wife?"
Lin'er, who opened the water bag and was drinking water, almost choked when he heard the man's words. He was about to explain, but he heard Gu Xiao scratching his head and laughing: "Brother, you are really good at joking. I met... this girl by chance.
We’re all just walking together.”
"I see, I misunderstood. Please forgive me." After hearing Gu Xiao's explanation, the man in the crane cloak apologized to Lin'er.
Lin'er just thought that this man was crazy and didn't take it to heart. Seeing that he was being polite, he immediately returned the greeting without saying much.
Gu Xiao said with a smile: "I wonder if my brother can tell me his name? It would not be in vain for you and I to ride in the same car together."
"My name is Shangguan Renyan. A person is everyone's person, and words are words. People from Zhongzhou." The man in the crane cloak heard Gu Xiao's question and answered casually.
Gu Xiao and Lin'er couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the name of the man in the hepao. Shangguan's surname has been around since ancient times, but this name is indeed such a man's weird personality, but his names are all given by his parents. Gu Xiao and Lin'er
Although people felt it was strange, they didn't make any move.
But Shangguan laughed loudly, and then said: "You two also think my name is a bit weird. I'm ashamed to say that. Back then, I was traveling around, met a man, and made a bet with him. I lost, and I had no money to gamble.
I gave it to him, but he made fun of me and said that I didn't keep my word, so he took my name apart and read it."
After saying this, Shangguan Renyan seemed to be saddened by the change of his name, and actually began to sob to himself.
Gu Xiao and Lin'er saw this man acting crazy. They were laughing just now, but now they were sad and crying. They met each other, but they didn't know how to comfort him.
Seeing this man crying sadly, Lin'er said softly: "How much gambling money do you owe him? If I can afford it, I will pay it back for you. Don't let him change your name again in the future."
When Shangguan Renyan heard Lin'er speak, he immediately stopped crying and said: "The name is nothing more than a code name. I can be called Shangguan Renyan or Shangguan Wuyan. I am crying for the person who changed my name.
."
When Gu Xiao heard this, he really felt that this person was too weird, and asked out of curiosity: "Why are you crying for him?"
Shangguan Renyan's expression suddenly became serious again. He stared at Gu Xiao's face for a long time and said, "Because he is my best brother, I treat him like an elder brother. But after he died, I kept calling myself Shangguan Ren."
Just to pay homage to him."
If anyone else had heard this man's crazy talk, they would have regarded him as a lunatic, but Gu Xiao and Lin'er could feel the real sadness in Shangguan Renyan's eyes.
It's definitely not the look of a madman, Gu Xiao and Lin'er thought to themselves.
"My condolences to Brother Shangguan, but if your brother has a soul in heaven and knows that you are always thinking of him, I think he will feel comforted." Gu Xiao comforted Shangguan.
When Shangguan Renyan heard Gu Xiao's words of comfort, he looked at Gu Xiao and suddenly smiled meaningfully. His face was full of hope and he said: "He didn't deserve to die, but there are still people who can live for him.
That's enough."
As soon as these words came out, even Gu Xiao was confused by him. He really didn't know what he was talking about. But after Shangguan Renyan said those words just now, he seemed to be a different person. He closed his eyes and meditated in the carriage.
, and never spoke again.
Lin'er nudged Gu Xiao with her elbow and whispered, "Is this man a lunatic? Do we really want to take him with us all the way?"
Gu Xiao scratched his head and replied in a low voice: "I didn't think so at first. Now I'm not sure, but I can't leave him alone in the ice and snow. Didn't he say he was going to Lingzhou? We good people will do it to the end.
Just take him to Lingzhou."
Lin'er saw that there was no Jiaodian Inn on the road, and this man was crazy. If he really left him behind, he would be a little bit unbearable, so he nodded in agreement.
Three people were riding in a car on an icy and snowy road.
This journey was speechless. This chapter has been completed!
