Except for the boatman, there were only two father and daughter in the boat, one with luggage, very cold, and the other with a very heavy bag, as if it contained iron tools.
The old man was only half a hundred years old, his beard was all white, and when he looked up at people, his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he knew at a glance that he was an old man who had suffered a lot of trouble.
The woman was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was very beautiful, and she snuggled up to the old man, pointed to Yan Lan in a low voice, and asked long and short questions, revealing a sense of innocence and admiration.
When the boat passed through a relatively narrow waterway, a cry came from the shore not far away: "The boatman docks, and we will be rewarded for our trouble!" ”
The boatman propped up the waterway with a penny, and stopped the boat, and saw that a pair of young men and women on the shore looked like fairies, and to his surprise, the young man was actually dressed as a scholar from the previous dynasty, and carried a sword at his waist, and had not yet shaved his hair, and remembered the old legend, and suspected that this pair of young men and women were transformed by spirits, so he asked tentatively:
"Who are you and how did you get here?"
The girl on the boat was warm-hearted, and when she couldn't see the person in distress, she hurriedly said: "The two of them are trapped here, you take them on the boat and talk about it, what else do you ask!" ”
Before the boatman could reply, the girl's father spoke: "No wonder he asked, the two sides of the strait here are very narrow, and it is difficult for apes to cross the cliffs above, and these two people appear abruptly, and I don't ask who dares to take them on board!" ”
They spoke in a loud voice, and the young men and women not far away could hear it clearly, only to hear the young man smile bitterly:
"We both came out to go out, and we blamed my sister for being playful, climbing down the gentle slope over there to pick wild flowers by the water, and I followed her in order to take care of her, who thought that the gentle slope was easy to come down, but it was difficult to go up, so they trapped us under the cliff, and wanted to look for a place to go up along the water's edge but went steeper and steeper, annoying you to kindly send us to the crow's mouth not far ahead, and the boat fare should be doubled!"
The girl on the boat asked, "I remember that there was a gentle slope before, and the wild flowers were brilliant at the bottom of the slope, and I looked at it twice, Daddy, I'm afraid that's where they came down!" ”
The old man nodded, and seeing that neither of them looked like they had practiced martial arts, he believed this statement, but for the sake of safety, he asked again: "Listening to the little brother's accent, isn't it from this generation of Hubei and Sichuan?" ”
The young man said: "We were originally from the north, because the Tartars entered the customs, and our ancestors did not want to be slaves of the country, so they moved their families here!" ”
The old man shouted 'yes' when he heard this, his own accent had a Beijing flavor, and he thought that he was also from the Northland.
Sure enough, the girl on the boat smiled and said: "My father didn't want to be angry with that Tartar, so he brought me from the capital to Sichuan and Shu to avoid trouble!" ”
The old man shook his head, and urged the boatman to come to the shore to pick up the young man and woman on board!
When he got on the boat, the young man seemed to be afraid that the boatman would not be at ease, so he took ten taels of silver and handed it over, but the boatman even said 'too much' and refused to accept it, but the young man insisted on giving it.
When the old man saw it, he said, "Look, this little brother is not a bad person, you can take it!" ”
Someone helped, and the boatman gave in twice and took it.
The boatman greeted with a 'be careful', a penny, the boat continued to move down the river, the scenery on both sides of the strait is pleasant, and sometimes the birds and apes cried, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
The girl on the boat was a lively person, and she took the hand of the girl who had just boarded the boat and introduced herself: "Sister, my name is Li Yingqiong, what is your name?" ”
The girl smiled: "It turns out that my sister is from my own family, my brother's name is Li Zhiyuan, my name is Li Min'er, I have to thank my sister just now!" ”
Li Yingqiong raised her eyebrows, she was young and heroic: "My generation is chivalrous, and it is difficult to save people, my sister doesn't have to say thank you!" ”
Li Min'er praised: "My sister is so majestic, it turns out that she is a person who practices martial arts, admire and admire!" ”
Li Yingqiong heard this sister praise her, and was about to say something happily, but her father scolded: "You haven't learned martial arts seriously, don't brag about yourself as an outsider!" ”
"Daddy!" Li Yingqiong showed her delicate side to her father, stomping her feet and shaking her father's arm, as if she was dismissing her in front of her new friends.
When the two girls spoke just now, Li Zhiyuan was not easy to interject, so he clasped his fists and saluted: "Li Zhiyuan has seen Mr.!" ”
The old man smiled: "Zhiyuan...... Ambitious, good name, my name is Li Ning, a martial artist, I can't be called a gentleman! ”
"The gentleman laughed! I have also heard that there is a person in the rivers and lakes called 'Tongjian God Ape' who is a famous knight, but old man? Li Zhiyuan showed a look of surprise on his face and opened his mouth to ask.
Li Yingqiong saw someone praising her father, and immediately smiled: "Brother Li, you can ask the right person, it is my father!" ”
This conversation, the two sides chatted immediately, that Li Ning is going to the rivers and lakes, saying that three points leave seven points, but Li Yingqiong is a straightforward character, and in a few words, she told all the situation of herself and her father, which made Li Ning secretly smile bitterly.
Later, everyone talked about the Tatars entering the customs and the people being slaughtered, talking about the three days of Yangzhou and the three massacres in Jiading, everyone was resentful and scolded, and even the boatman followed a few mouthfuls.
At this time, it was already twilight, and when the color was blank, a plate of bright moon hung out from the corner of the mountain, which was clear and shining, and the eyebrows of people were seen.
Li Ning suddenly said loudly: "That is the old country looking back at the moonlight!" With such a country, when will I be able to return to my old things! The words were sad, and the old tears welled up in his cheeks.
Li Yingqiong said: "Daddy is sad again, everything in the world has its own predetermined, and it is useless to be sad in vain, and please take care of your health." ”
As he was talking, the boatman came over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not early, and in front of us is the famous crow's mouth, and there are villages and towns there, so let's rest on the shore and go ashore to buy some wine and food." ”
The old man said, "All right, you just have to go." I'm a little sleepy today, and I'm not going to go ashore. When the boatmen had finished speaking, they had reached their destination, and they went ashore.
Li Zhiyuan's brothers and sisters immediately said goodbye to Li Yingqiong's father and daughter, Li Ning nodded and said: "This world is in chaos, you brothers and sisters should also take care of themselves." ”
After Li Zhiyuan thanked him, he suddenly untied the sword on his waist: "This Longquan sword is an ancestral heirloom, I am a person who reads, it is useless to leave it, and I buried the treasure. ”
As he spoke, he casually handed the sword to Li Yingqiong.
Li Ning was about to say that he couldn't do it, but when he saw that Li Yingqiong heard that it was the Longquan sword, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, his thumb pressed the tension spring, the silver light flashed, and the Longquan sword was already out of the sheath.
Li Yingqiong couldn't put it down, and Li Ning also shouted: "Good sword!" ”
The old man turned his mind, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help asking: "Little Brother Li doesn't know how old he is, but has he ever been married?" ”
Li Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why he was asking this, and immediately said, "No!" ”
Li Ning said: "Then what do you think of my family Yingqiong?" ”
"......" Li Zhiyuan was immediately stunned, and immediately guessed what the old man meant, but Li Yingqiong looked only twelve or thirteen years old, where did he think about this.
Li Yingqiong is also a person who is dedicated to practicing martial arts, and her children's private affairs have never been thought about, although she can't help but look at Li Zhiyuan a few more times when she sees Li Zhiyuan's handsomeness, but she has never been moved, and immediately shook Li Ning's arm: "Daddy!" ”
Li Zhiyuan also took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Mr., my sister and I came out late, I'm afraid that the family is in a hurry, so I'll leave, if it's fate, I'll see you in the future!" ”
Saying that, she arched her hand towards the two, Li Min'er took Li Yingqiong's hand and said goodbye, and the brother and sister left in a hurry.
Li Ning shook his head and said: "I wanted to recruit a reading seed so that I could send me back to the West in the future, but you girl just don't open up." ”
Li Min'er, who was far away from the river, suddenly smiled and said: "Son, that Li family's sister looks like a flower and jade, what are you doing with such a good fate?" It's a pity for the sword! It just happens to be a token of love. ”
The muscles on Li Zhiyuan's face changed, revealing his original face, it was Xin Han, and he reached out and took off a delicate human skin mask on Li Min'er's face, revealing the smiling Master Li inside.
Xin Han glared at her, and said angrily: "I gave her the Longquan Sword first, and then robbed her of the opportunity, so that I can be justified and strong, I don't owe or lose, as for what marriage, I never thought about it, then Li Yingqiong can still be beautiful over you, don't talk nonsense next time!" ”
When Master Li heard him praise his appearance, he couldn't help but blush, and bowed his head to say yes. (To be continued.) )
