It's already completely silent, and it's the crescent moon, which is hidden in the night sky, and the stars all over the sky can clearly hit people's eyes. A young man squatted in the yard.
The man's freshly washed, half-dried hair was slightly steamed behind him, covering half of his face. At a young age, his features were pretty and delicate. The person is a little thin, but not the kind of weak and thin. He looks thin and tall, but he looks a bit like a young man who has just grown up, and his skin and bones can't keep up with his bones.
He rolled up his cuffs, showing half of his arms. There was a brazier and a dozen paper money in front of him. He looked like he was keeping a vigil for someone, but the young man was holding a large bowl in his hand. This man only had two hands. While pulling noodles into his mouth, he stuffed paper money into the brazier. I don't know how to do it, but he did both, his cheeks were bulging, and the brazier was burning vigorously.
He squatted there for a long time, the bowl of noodles was about to bottom out, and the chopsticks even poked a poached egg hidden in the bottom of the bowl.
Just at this time, the door of a room in the small courtyard opened with a "squeak", and a square-faced man with a big arm and a round waist came out wearing clothes. He probably got up at night and was still confused, so he yawned. , then found such a living creature squatting in the courtyard, and was so frightened that he woke up.
"Shi... Shi little monkey, what are you doing?"
The person in the courtyard was Shi Wuduan who had been missing since he escaped from Jiulu Mountain. He turned his head slowly after hearing the words, and his handsome face was reflected in the pot of burning paper money, which was very frightening. Yes, with half a poached egg in his mouth, he mumbled slowly, "Burning paper."
The big man stepped forward, touched his forehead, and judged: "I don't have a fever..."
Shi Wuduan continued to bite the poached egg without changing his expression, the noodle bowl was full of fragrance, the big man's stomach made a suspicious movement, he sniffled, noticed the coarse porcelain sea bowl in Shi Wuduan's hand, and cursed: "Little bastard, it's the middle of the night Yes, why did you steal it again? Ge Laozi’s, and poached eggs.”
"I didn't steal it." Shi Wuduan swallowed the rest of the eggs in one gulp as if to prevent him from snatching them. He picked up the bowl and ate it cleanly. Then he wiped his mouth and puffed his cheeks slowly. He explained calmly, "Siniang specially made this for me."
The big man said: "Fart, why did she cook it for you, I'm hungry too!"
Shi Wuduan grabbed a handful of paper money and put it in the brazier, and said brazenly, "I'm handsome."
The big man grabbed his hair and rubbed it vigorously, commenting on his appearance: "Little white face."
Shi Wuduan stretched out his hand to push down his disheveled hair without hurrying or panicking, looked up at him, and commented: "Big bear."
"Do it!" The big man widened his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there any more?"
"Put it on the stove by yourself."
The big man went to rub his stomach, and just turned around, then turned around and asked, "Are there any eggs?"
"It's gone, I ate." Shi Wuduan glanced at him, squatted on the ground and didn't get up, but stretched his arms, handed him the bowl, and said, "Give me another bowl, more soup. "
The big man slapped him on the back of the head, took the bowl cursingly and left.
So after a while, there were two people squatting side by side in the yard, surrounded by a pile of paper money and a brazier, eating noodles in a low voice. Did you hear that?"
Shi nods his head.
While eating, the big man felt desolate again, he glanced at Shi Wuduan rather resentfully, and muttered, "Why does she always think about you?"
"I ate it to grow." Shi Wuduan explained, "You will grow meat if you eat it, and we don't sell pork business."
"You don't feel ashamed and panic, how old are you and still grow tall?"
"Twenty-Three is still jumping up and down." Shi Wuduan waved his hand and said, "You don't understand even after talking about it, eat your noodles, and wash the bowl after eating."
The big man raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, as if he wanted to seek justice, but Shi Wudu calmly blocked his words: "Cannibalism is soft."
So the big man was really soft, and angrily drank a big mouthful of soup.
The two fell silent, Shi Wuduan put the empty bowl aside, looked at the brazier, the flames flickered in his eyes, making his pupils extraordinarily deep.
The big man looked at him for a while, then tapped his shoulder with his elbow, and asked, "Are you paying homage to your ancestors?"
"New mourning." Shi Wuduan said, "Send off a senior."
The big man was shocked and asked: "What's the matter? What's the matter? Which old man has an accident? Why don't I know?"
"Oh." Shi Wuduan said, "You don't recognize him, but he is an old friend of mine far away in Sichuan."
"Then how do you know?"
Shi Wudu remained silent, stretched out a finger, and pointed to the sky.
"It's a star again." The big man curled his lips, and continued to bury his head in the soup bowl, "I said, little monkey, you are so young, you are always so obsessed, be careful that you will not be able to get a wife in the future."
"Yesterday, Luer from Third Brother Lu's family said that he would marry me."
"Fuck you, Lu'er is only three and a half years old - Xing Xing can still know whether people are dead or not? Can you figure out when I will die?"
Shi Wuduan ignored him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "His fate star fell tonight, and it actually has something to do with me. I don't have anything in my body, only these ghost things. It's nothing, it's just a little thought. Burn it Tell him to take it all night, and take care of the little ghosts on Huangquan Road."
Although the big man heard his voice flat, there was inexplicably a bit of sadness in it, and he couldn't help but murmured: "What are you talking about, how come the person who died in the middle of Sichuan has something to do with you, but you have nothing to do with it. "
The corner of Shi Wuduan's mouth was bent, and the dimple on his left cheek was fleeting. He didn't explain much, but tore the paper money into various shapes with his bare hands - pen, ink, paper and inkstone, chariots, horses, cattle and sheep, cranes and rabbits, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He has everything, he is dexterous, and he arrives lifelike, and said in his mouth: "Senior, you have given me the last bit of your wealth, and you will be lonely down here. I will get you some gadgets for you. Don't be disgusted."
The big man thought it was strange to hear it, so he also sighed, changed the subject mechanically, and said, "Little monkey, you said that we and a group of brothers came all the way to join this Cui man. , He is so negligent, what's the point of allocating such a small broken yard for us? I think it's better to turn against his grandma earlier, beat him to the bum, and occupy his feng shui treasure land, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"
Shi Wuduan tilted his head to glance at him, and asked, "Why don't you tell Big Brother about this?"
The name of this "big brother" is Gu Huaiyang, he was originally from Huainan, he was born with a strong sense of martial arts, and he has studied for a few years, but he likes miscellaneous studies and is impatient with the way of imperial examinations. But who knows that there was a famine in Huainan a few years ago, and the crops were not harvested. I don’t know how many hands the relief money went away. Fearing that the refugees would cause chaos, many local officials ordered the gates of the city to be closed and refused to accept them. What's more, they opened their bows and arrows.
Gu Huaiyang's family died and fell ill, only him and an old woman were left in the panic. After all, the old woman was old, and although she was carried by her son to escape the bow and arrow, she was so frightened and died soon.
At this point, Gu Huaiyang was left as a bachelor. He was clear-headed, eloquent, and loyal. He attracted many people on the way to exile, and even made friends with some knight-errants and swordsmen in the world. Rebellion.
It is also the fact that the work has gone downhill in recent years. The guards in the city will only bully the people. He didn't do anything endlessly, led people into the yamen, and became the emperor of the land.
The sky is high, the emperor is far away, and the court is unclear, so it is only assumed that there was an uprising in Huainan, and the treasury was empty, so he could not fight for a long time. I don't know how the court calculated it. Nobility, order him to guard this place.
Gu Huaiyang is not stupid, knowing that the emperor took him as a target, he flicked his sleeves and refused to accept the order, and even united with the big bandits on the surrounding hills, with the intention of occupying the mountain as king.
At this time, the entire continent was in chaos, and people rose up everywhere. Although there was little movement, these people were like a group of fleas attached to Dagan's high-sounding robe.
The emperor decided to kill chickens and monkeys. Gu Huaiyang was stepping on the muzzle of the gun to resist the decree. The emperor gave an order, and the people who suppressed the bandits came in a few days. Gu Huaiyang saw that the big thing was bad. He took his team and fled to Anqing, where he joined Cui Hu, who proclaimed himself "King of Anqing".
It is also fate, that year when Shi Wuyuan swam out of the cold spring in Jiulu Mountain, his whole body was almost frozen in it. A few miles away, his lips were purple from the cold, and he passed out on the side of the road. It happened that Gu Huaiyang, who was leading people to communicate with the bandits, picked it up.
The Cuiping bird circling near Jiulu Mountain immediately chased after its owner. The sparrow suddenly appeared in front of everyone, startling a group of bandits and hooligans. Gu Huaiyang thought that Shi Wuduan must be a man of great fortune, so he adopted him down. After he woke up, the two of them were chatting, and they were quite speculative, and Shi Wudu was inexplicably drawn onto the promising road of rebels.
One year after that, one day, a crane brought him a package. Shi Wuxuan opened it, and inside was a fifty-stringed harp and a few old scrolls. As soon as he opened it, he knew the depth of the ancient scrolls. If you really want to practice it thoroughly, it is a great question that you can learn the secrets of heaven. There is also a note in the middle, with the words "I will do it for myself" written on it, signed by Jiang Hua.
Why did Jiang Hua help him
Shi Wuduan thought about it for a long time, and felt that Jiang Hua was afraid of tainting karma and let him go against his will. Then he remembered his old friend's deathbed advice, and was so condemned by his conscience that he couldn't bear it, so he tried his best to seek peace of mind.
Before the master gave himself away, he presumably explained it to Senior Jianghua, and what he said was no longer available for examination. Jianghua Xiuxian, who gave him books this time, did not know how much karma in the world was indirectly contaminated. I am afraid that a hundred years of hard work outside the world will be destroyed in one day.
Immortals are not allowed to enter the world, and if they enter the world, their lifespan will be exhausted—as expected, it has only been four years until now.
Shi Wuduan grabbed another handful of paper money and slowly put it into the brazier.
The big man—it was one of Gu Huaiyang's sworn brothers, named Meng Zhongyong—played his hair and said, "I said it, but I was scolded by the elder brother, and he asked me to ask you."
