Chapter 083 – So High
Xu Fengnian, who played a handful of Range Sparrow Collecting Overwhelming Water, laughed: “It’s just a juggling act.”
Liu Qingzhu touched the porcelain bowl with one green onion finger, then rubbed her willow leaf eyebrows and said in surprise, “Just a sideshow?”
Xu Fenian did not answer and asked, “How did you enter the fortress?”
She didn’t dare to go and drink the bowl of wine, thought about it and laughed, “Whining is too much for my liver, I won’t talk about it.”
Xu Fengnian was uninterested in getting to the bottom of the matter, “Your man?”
She gave a blank look, “Do you really want to hear?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head, “Forget it.”
Women’s minds are hard to gauge, Xu Fengyen did not want to hear, she instead bamboo tube pour beans a brain shake out, but the tone of indifference: “Dead, a hundred useless is a scholar, when his family was broken, by a man in the walled village who disliked him as an eyesore, with an iron spear stirred up the stomach, and then I was betrothed by Hanfang to a sit on the third trade, not yet the wedding candles, that the hero could not control the stuff in the crotch, hastily want to The thing in the pants, hastily want to wild met, I dress skirt are faded in the calf belly, bare buttocks and so on half a day, only to know to the devil in the head of a big man passing by to hit, the husband to shoot the head, the devil see I still have a few points of color, on the mercy of accepting me as a forbidden domain, and he went to the lofty clan, probably considered a house maid, with some foxy children served him for half a year, get tired of playing, and then sent back, Fang Dayi, these people are not the same, and they will be sent back. Sent back, Fang Dayi these jerks only thief heart, not that thief courage, want to do with that big devil as a brother-in-law, also have to have life is not? Otherwise, do you think I, a pretty widow, would have survived until today? Even if I did, I don’t think I’d have the strength to stand up straight in the middle of the day. Serving men, especially these rough men who are full of brute strength, is a physical job. Now that I think about it, when I was in the palace, I was able to see the world as a fairyland, and I didn’t suffer for nothing. You see, by you hooked up the words, the old lady is really broken, change the bowl of wine, this bowl through the evil strength, afraid of catching your way, really by you to the cave, then the old lady is not to suffer, you this newborn calf to the devil and a slap to smash the skull, white flowers a puddle, with the soybean juice, like, ultimately, is the oozing picture.”
Xu Fenian pushed the wine bowl over and calmly asked, “What sect, so prestigious?”
She sneered slightly, “Mr. Xu, you haven’t even heard of the Shenmen Grass Lodge? This dares you to travel to this side of Six Weight Mountain to study?”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “Shenmen Caolu? Sounds a lot like a famous sect that favors Confucianism.”
Qing Zhuniang took a sip of wine and saw that no one was around before she said, “Han Fang is nicknamed the brocade-haired unicorn general, which one of your eyes saw that he looks like a unicorn? Do you really think he’s the Master of Northern Mang? Zhang Xiucheng is known as the True Lord of Thunder, and I have never seen him invoke thunder. This time in the court of law was cut off the head of Song Kui, also known as carrying the tripod heavenly king it, not the same is self-appointed, on his wind-blown on the shaking of the small body, can not carry the ninety pounds of my mother are two say, only with some underhanded poisoned hidden weapons. So ah, Shenmen hut, said hut, in fact, with the emperor live almost, everywhere is gold and jade, do not know how to earn money, thatched cottage than those cottages on the mountain to the residence of the big head of the grand style, the old lady has not really been to the Imperial City Palace, but pondered almost the same.”
Xu Fengyen nodded, and then asked: “Qingzhu mother, you can be more than ninety pounds it, should have a hundred pounds up and down weight.”
The woman was annoyed and angry: “Today, the old lady ate seven or eight pounds of beef can not ah?”
Xu Fengyen laughed it off.
The woman looked at the sky, said: “you ah, don’t take the six weight mountain as a child’s play, not you say come say go, are people elite, without a few brushes will not have the ability to stand firm, go, the body casually leave something to my mother, good with Han Fang they have an account, my mother is not to save the suffering of the Goddess of Mercy, is not that sinus age of the woman, not because you have a pair of good skin can not distinguish between a good and a good woman, but also because you have a good skin, you can not tell the difference. I’m not a woman in the early stages of her love life, so I can’t let you lose track of things just because you have a good skin. If you don’t want to give up the sword on your back, take out some silver as a way to get rid of the misfortune. Han Fang gave me an ingot of gold, to give his bitter brothers who are not able to take the next meal to eat the pill, is in front of you swollen face to pretend to be a rich man, this fortress has long become a ragged house.”
Xu Fengnian really took out a stack of silver bills from the book case and placed them on the table, smiling, “More than a hundred taels, is it enough?”
She raised her eyebrows, tapping her fingers on the silver bills and laughed: “It’s really a generous master, based on your wealth, as long as the family background is not too thin, in the fortress will really be treated as a god of wealth, as long as the day does not suck your blood, safe life is not a worry, just hard acting, dare to say that it’s the old lady who makes a fool out of herself. Xu Lang, where is your home, really traveling scholar?”
Xu Fengyen teased: “Guseizhou small family, the high family family pile up there, as many as hair, without a dingzhi big name are embarrassed to go out and greet people, simply can not raise their heads, I did not expect to carry a two hundred silver here, but also become a rich man, I should have known that the earlier to come here to set up a broad, perhaps with you explicitly married to the fish and water love. ”
She glanced at this scholar with a slippery mouth and sneered, “After stealing a half a day’s look, you don’t dare to touch it?”
Xu Fengnian who was caught in the act shook his head, “Where is this kind of person.”
She got up and intentionally or unintentionally patted her breasts, trembling charming scene, so that the hanyou could not wait to run to hold the pocket, for fear that because too heavy grunt fell to the ground. Xu Fengyen is still eye and nose, let Qing Zhu Niang do not know whether it is a blank stare or winks, smiled and left, the restaurant does not have a fellow to help, she has to be busy, there is always too busy to finish the chicken and garlic. The next scholar carrying a sword with a book didn’t intend to go up the mountain, gave more than a hundred taels of silver money and then sat down at the foot of the mountain fork, his own hands to move the table in the shade of the eaves, from the bookcase to pull out a book of geography, and the green bamboo lady asked for a dish of salted peanuts, a bowl of cooked beef, an altar of wine, from midday to dusk, the green bamboo lady didn’t treat him as a guest of honor, and made a meal sloppy, and deal with it to eat, and asked him to be How to calculate, Xu Lang said to live here for a few days, pondering how to maintain a cottage, but also with her to teach a lot of trivial things, in and out of the accounts, recruiting people, buy people, even when there is usually no murder and robbery of human life trade in the mountains whether to reclaim the vegetable beds have been asked, everything in detail, are playing on the abacus, Qing Zhuniang also know all the words without exhaustion, in any case, this is not what the unimportant secrets, if the young scholar is a government official. If this young scholar is the government’s spies, prying into the wind to come, to the A soldiers into the mountains to fight the bandits to pave the way, she is not afraid, the fortress was flattened, her big deal to go to the Shenmen hut as a cow as a horse. For her, who is not dead? There is no figure in the world that she is willing to collect the body.
At night he is also good to send, carry two benches, deal with the sleep of the night, the house Qingzhu Maiden tossed and turned for half the night before drifting off to sleep, get up early in the morning, to the bronze mirror, poor quality powder how can not pounce on a pair of black circles under the eyes, when she saw the spirit of glowing sitting there holding a book of the guy, the eyes of the grudge can not be, I do not know if it is angry with this after the death of the skin, or angry at him last night, even the animal is worse than, and even widows door is not knocking a bit! Although she can not open the door, but at least proved that she still has a few points of appearance. She snorted coldly, took his filial piety to the cottage of the silver ticket to go to the cottage, hesitated for a moment, she still did not swallow a silver ticket or two, but that ingot of gold to the mouth will not spit it out, this group of great lords dabbling in food and drink, this money should have been her. Han Fang’s cottage into the mountains is not far away, more than ten miles away, but the mountain road is not more than the official road flat, well she is used to walking, do not feel how to strain, in the end is not the year that the pampered do not touch wood, rice, oil and salt of the showy woman.
Han Fang politely accepted the silver ticket, courteous, but also personally served a pot of tea. In the mud school martial arts practice Lu Dayi stared at the young widow ass flap look, and then look at her fatigue look, seemingly coarse and unpleasant but the heart of the man as hair of the eyes of the odd, overthrowing the jar of vinegar, the heart laughs, do not know what to do with life after life, this thorny bitch also dared to eat under the mouth, is not it you can eat dry wipe away the people? Yesterday on the mountain, Zhang military division said that this kid may have some martial arts, but also on the three legs of the Hillary Kung Fu, can stand the grass hut that the big devil a finger under the pressure? This Bodhisattva, single-handedly can even trample several cottages without a break.
Green bamboo mother out of the cottage back to the restaurant, see Xu Lang is still there to read, until today she did not know the name of the skinny monkey squatting on the side of the daze, this scoundrel is lazy and lazy, bullying soft and afraid of hardness, the fault of one does not fall, but compared to the mountains of the grass bandits at every turn on the people to chop up a pass of messy killings, is really capable of small gall bladder is smaller, does not seem so detestable, over the years often to help some of these little things, but the eyes can not control is sure, but the grass hut that the big devil fingers. Can not control the eyes is certain, but actually never done dip saliva piercing the window paper peeping her bath dirty things, let her some impressed, in this mountain who do not believe that the rich and powerful in the truth, thin monkey child into a distinctive anomaly, but also an example of no interest, I heard that the first time to kill, a knife down did not cut a woodcutter completely cut to death, tears and snot flowed a lot, but also to back that woodcutter to See the doctor, but it is good to have a brother on the side of the stare, help stab a knife to end off, only to let him into the cottage, but if so, she will be happy to coexist with this thin monkey a few nights, that is also too ridiculous, she still like more bookish men.
Seeing the spicy green bamboo mother, can only rely on that a large bush of chest hair pretending to be a man’s skinny monkey to squeeze out a smile, also do not dare to talk to her, just pretending to get close to the descendant, asked: “Hey, surnamed Xu, do you know that at the moment the jianghu out of a big thing?”
Xu Fengyen put down the book of geography of Orange State that he took from the old man’s side and asked with a smile, “What is it? Give a word.”
Skinny monkey stood up and sat across from him, seeing him take the initiative to push over a plate of peanuts, the original somewhat apprehensive mood to settle down a lot, quietly a few points, threw into his mouth a, one foot on the bench, tsked: “A few days ago I went to the city, with a brother as a police officer to go to a restaurant to set meal, know what restaurant is not? Fengxian building, a meal can be a few taels of silver to get down …….”
Can’t stand this skinny monkey child blind bragging woman a broom slapped on his back, laughed: “Have fart fast put! Your poor life, you can know what the brother of the officer. You also go to Feng Xian building to drink, why don’t you just say that you go to the near river pavilion to whore the flower girl? Wouldn’t that be more impressive?”
Red-faced skinny monkey son held his breath back in his stomach, weakened seven or eight points of momentum, snapped and said: “You ladies have long hair and short knowledge, too look down on me ……”
Seeing the green bamboo lady lifting up the broom to slam down, the thin monkey hurriedly said, “You guys know that there is a Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai’a over there in Liyang, right?”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
“Say it later.” Qing Zhu Niang went to the house and carried out wine and meat before sitting down.
The skinny monkey smelled her scent, gulped, and said in a glowing manner, “This third most powerful Sword God under the sky, didn’t he go to look for our Military God to compete with us, and guess what happened?”
Qing Zhuniang was not in the mood for riddles, but Xu Fengnian laughed and said, “He should have lost.”
The thin monkey slapped his thigh, “Wrong!”
“What the hell!” The startled Qing Zhu Niang copied the broom at her feet and killed her. Being slapped to the ground, the thin monkey did not dare to get angry with her, sat up straight and lowered his voice, mysteriously said: “It was going to lose, the sword god even broke the peach blossom branches, and Tuoba military god fought with the darkness of the sky, from the morning to the evening, and then from the evening to the morning, I do not know how many days and nights to play. Aigoo, Green Bamboo Lady don’t fight don’t fight, I’ll get to the point, at the critical juncture of the victory or defeat, oh no, it’s when Teng Tai’a is about to be defeated, all the hundreds of nearly a thousand masters who watched on heard a sentence that came down from the sky, from a distance of 10,000 miles!”
Qing Zhuniang sneered and snorted, “Bullshit again no? Do you take yourself as a storyteller talking about the gods and goddesses?”
The skinny monkey said with a thick neck, “It’s true!”
Xu Fengnian reached out and poured a bowl of wine, not forgetting to pour a bowl of wine for Qing Zhuniang and Thin Monkey, and laughed softly, “Keep talking.”
The skinny monkey cut a glance at Qing Zhuniang, as to whether he took the opportunity to cut on her face or breasts is unknown, before he tsked, “I heard the sentence ‘Deng Tai’a, lend you a sword, do you dare to take it?!'”
Only then did Xu Fengnian raise his wrist to serve the wine and stopped there, not drinking.
The thin monkey was about to slap his thigh, thinking of the encounter just now, he hardened and retracted, and said with a look of fascination, “Then Teng Sword God replied back, ‘What does Teng Tai’a dare not do? Thank you, Li Chun Gang, for opening the way of the sword for my generation! The next thing that happened was even more scary, there was a sword that descended from the heavens to the Peach Blossom Sword God’s hand, and then he fought with the Tuoba Military God to a draw.”
A battle that was even more turbulent, falling into the mouth of a character like Thin Monkey’s Child, it was always missing nine out of ten chewy bits.
Qing Zhuniang will believe, more doubt than belief, heard it is also even, squinted to see the young scholar lowered his head to drink.
Thin monkey sighed, said sullenly: “are flying around the gods na, I do not know if this life can not see from afar.”
Qing Zhu Niang also did not think deeply, casually asked: “This Li Chun Gang is what kind of god? He can lend his sword to the Peach Blossom Sword God who is the third strongest in the world?”
The skinny monkey who had emptied his belly hemmed and hawed, “Probably a great swordsman from Liyang.”
Qing Zhu Niang saw the young scholar raise his head, a hard face with no expression visible, putting down his wine bowl, he said, “It’s a one-armed old man in sheepskin fur.”
The skinny monkey bristled, “Who are you fooling, a one-armed old man who can handle a sword for ten million miles? Speak as if you’ve seen it before.”
The young scholar smiled sadly, “Never again.”
Skinny monkey also don’t know what to say again to warm up words, see the green bamboo lady into the house to work, ate most of the wine and peanuts, feel boring, and pat back to the mountain.
From time to time, Qing Zhu Niang stood to the door, look at that Xu Lang a few eyes, the table more of that green scabbard long sword, narrowed that pair of even she was jealous of the danfeng eyes, just pursed lips fuming.
In addition to the two meals, he has been sitting, after the sky is dark, Qing Zhuniang still can not sleep at night, through the window to see the outside oil lamp dimly swaying, then put on his clothes and go out, softly asked: “Want to drink wine?”
He turned his head, smiled, and softly said, “No need.”
She still went to get a jar of wine, but it was one of the few good wines left, after opening the seal the aroma filled the air, she said, “I’ll drink it myself.”
After a few bowls, she asked, “Really don’t drink?”
He shook his head and said, “You just drink, I’ll wait for you to get drunk.”
The woman who was amused really drank alone, boozing, not losing out to those who boasted that killing their heads was nothing more than a head nod.
As she drank, she spoke in fine detail, “It should be the local saying in my hometown, a bird without hair has God to take care of it. I ah, anyway, so somehow survived. I was afraid to die, and I thought it would be too ugly to hang myself. How painful would it be to stab my stomach with a kitchen knife? I can’t be a chaste woman.”
This woman who has also studied ink and red sleeves with her veiled hands, has also been a human bun Qingzhu Niang. Drunken and teary-eyed.
“My husband, did not do anything bad, good thing is to do too much, the mansion maids are bitter children, made mistakes, he did not want to say heavy, all by me to white face red face and sung, the family leased out of the crop land, the year is not good, said the receipt of IOUs, but piled up a year and a year, which has to go to ask for it? Why did you die? Since you are the heroes and heroines of heaven, robbing the rich to help the poor is, why even kill all the people before giving up? You killed good people who were no worse than you!”
Xu Fengyen calmly said, “Last time I saw my elder sister who married far away and advised her to go home, she refused, saying that the first marriage is from the relatives and then from the body. I know she is waiting for someone.”
The woman let out a cry, “Waiting for no one?”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “Waited, but I’d rather not have waited.”
She skimmed her head and wiped her tears haphazardly, no longer drinking or sobbing.
The two were silent.
With a thud, the drunken one knocked her head sideways on the tabletop, her lips trembling and flat as she stretched out a hand, softly saying, “My daughter, if she were alive, she would be this tall, right?”
Her outstretched palm was slightly raised, the hand that was pressed on the desktop, her five fingers were stiff, “To be a bit taller.”
Xu Feng Nian said, “I ah, after picking up the sword and practicing martial arts again, it seems that I haven’t done half a time with chivalry and righteousness on the side of a good thing, today is not reasonable for once, whoever you say you want to kill, I’ll kill.”
She just twisted her head in a daze, looking at this stranger who is getting stranger and stranger, and asked, “If you kill someone, my daughter will be able to live and be watched by me to grow taller and taller little by little?”
Xu Fengnian carried that Spring and Autumn Sword on his back and traveled up the mountain.
