Chapter 9 sad string

The winter snow came very early this year.After the frost, the weather was steep and cold, and the sky was filled with ice and snow in a blink of an eye.Ziyan's two white horses were neighing and shivering from the cold, so he asked Chen Xiangzi to build a stable, and wrapped their hooves in cotton cloth, taking good care of them.The weaving and embroidery skills on the side became more and more exquisite, and they made a gurong winter coat for everyone, and thought of going out in the cold, and made a black fox hat cover for Zi Yandan. In the world of ice and snow, an unexpected guest came.When everyone found out, he was already sitting in the room, drinking the evening mirror tea that was offered to Chen Xiangzi.

The person who came was wearing a purple velvet fur, and the lapels were piled with flowers and inlaid with gold, which was extremely rich.Chen Xiangzi shielded her body from the side, Ziyan stood guard outside the door, and Yanhua hid somewhere.The man reached into his bosom, took out a Shu paper letter, handed it to Chen Xiangzi, and said: "Here in Xiazhanlu, I will pay a visit to Master Chen Xiang on behalf of my city lord, please go to Zhaolang City in the near future." This person can get rid of the miasma set up in Taniguchi, and he is absolutely extraordinary.Chen Xiangzi read the letter and meditated, vaguely remembering that when he left the valley, he had heard people say that the emerging Zhaolang City has swept the world in recent years and annexed many gangs that did not respect its orders.The city lord Zhaolang is fierce and arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, and he will definitely not offend.

Zhan Lu's brows were domineering, and he said to himself: "My city lord said that the master is excellent in calligraphy and swords, and he intends to compete with the master. If the master is willing to come, he will be the master to resolve some old grievances." Chen Xiangzi looked in surprise, Zhan Lu's eyes flickered, and what he was referring to was obviously his most worried enemy.Even if his heart is as calm as water, he is also active at this moment, thinking of that person's means, and now that even Zhao Lang has found him, if he doesn't respond, maybe the pursuers will flock to him again.

Zhan Lu saw Chen Xiangzi's intentions, and took the opportunity to say: "If it is convenient for the master, Taniguchi has prepared a thousand-mile horse, and the master only needs to open his mouth to start the journey." Startled sideways, couldn't help but said: "Father, what if it's a trap..." Zhan Lu proudly lifted off his fur coat, and a night owl was embroidered on the musk-gold silk and satin of the lining, looking into the sky and spreading its wings in a frenzied manner.He said coldly, "Could it be that you are afraid of someone impersonating me? With my current status in Zhaolang City, whoever dares to impersonate me will definitely not want to live."

Frightened by his momentum, he was speechless.She wanted to retort that even the people from Zhaolang City might lure her father to death.But at this moment, forced by Zhan Lu's arrogance, he swallowed the words back. "Okay, I'll go with you." Chen Xiangzi decided resolutely. "Father!" Sideways exclaimed. Zi Yan couldn't help frowning and staring at Master, what made him so restless?What kind of enmity did he have with the prince in the past?He knew that this matter had become a knot in Chen Xiangzi's heart, and if he didn't untie it, he would be in trouble for life, so he suppressed his sorrow and quietly walked to the well.

Zhanlu sits and drinks tea leisurely, Wanjing is a good tea with a long aftertaste, and the heart becomes more and more like a snow mirror in the end, the refreshing coolness rippling from the soles of the feet, licking around the tip of the heart.Chen Xiangzi loves to drink this tea, so he knows where his comfortable smile comes from. It is a kind of sure smile, not afraid of the baited fish escaping again. It took only a moment to be shaken, and seeing the fright in the sideways eyes, Chen Xiangzi couldn't wait any longer.He quickly packed his bags and wanted to go with Zhan Lu immediately, but he pulled his sleeves in a panic and stopped him in the house.

"Ci'er, dad will come whenever he goes, and after finishing the outside affairs, no one will harass him anymore." "But father..." Thinking of the last time he went with Yang Azi, when he came back he was covered with scars, he just shook his head in a hurry. Zi Yan appeared at the door, carrying a blue cloth bag, and silently handed it to Chen Xiangzi.As soon as Chen Xiangzi smelled it, he knew it was a daily easy-to-use powder, and thought to himself that he was just going to compete with others, so what's the use of these.Zi Yan was persistent, not allowing the master to hesitate, and stuffed the burden in his hands.Chen Xiangzi smiled wryly in his heart, that's all, maybe this child told him to run for his life easily when he saw the situation was not good.Unable to let go of Ziyan's kindness, Chen Xiangzi casually packed the baggage in his luggage and handed it over to Zhanlu together.

After Chen Xiangzi and Zhan Lu left, Yan Huafang showed up.Weeping with red eyes from side to side, Ziyan looked at Yu Hua fixedly, and said, "He recognizes you, doesn't he?" Yanhua shook her head: "He doesn't recognize me, but I've met him, and he is indeed from Zhaolang City. Zhaolang has made friends with many dignitaries in Beijing and China. It may not be a lie for him to say that he can resolve old grievances for Master Chen Xiang." Hearing the words from the side, he was a little relieved, wiped away his tears and broke into a smile.Zi Yan caught a glimpse of ominousness from Yan Hua's unusual security.After walking away sideways, he said bluntly: "You have something to say."

"Zhaolang is not an easy person, I am a little worried." Zi Yan sighed, the matter has come to this point, he has no choice but to follow Chen Xiangzi's parting instructions and do his homework every day. Since Chen Xiangzi was not there, Yuhua was much more casual. When she had nothing to do, she pulled her sideways and acted as a puppet together, voluntarily changing Ziyan's appearance.On the spur of the moment, Ziyan would dress up Sibian as Yanhua, or dress up as Sibian, making the two of them look like a pair of twin sisters.Unsatisfied, Yan Hua asked Zi Yan to pretend to be them too, and the three of them put on the same face, having a great time.

The three of them got tired after playing for a few days, and Ziyan dropped the disguise technique from time to time to embroider with the side.The time that Yanhua avoids sideways and stays alone with Ziyan is getting longer and longer.Once, I accidentally saw Ziyan soaking in a big wooden barrel to burn incense, and the room was steaming and rosy, and the smoke was dense.Side side didn't know why the door was unlocked, suddenly yelled, blushed and ran out.Ye Hua excitedly climbed up from the well, witnessed the whole process with a stick of frankincense in his hand, laughed so hard that he almost fell back into the well.

Yanaka didn't know how time passed.On the day Chen Xiangzi came back, it was freezing cold, and Ziyan and the three were sitting around the room warming up the fire when they suddenly heard a few coughs.The three of them ran out of the house, and Chen Xiangzi came back intact, but with a gloomy expression. Seeing from the side that my father is fine, I feel very relieved.Yanhua sniffed in the air, frowning secretly.Seeing something was wrong, Ziyan helped her master into the room and waited with warm tea.As soon as Chen Xiangzi sat down, he vomited black blood "Wow", his legs went limp in fright, and he grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Father, are you injured?" Chen Xiangzi shook his head slowly.Putting her fingers on his veins, Yuhua realized that his veins were damaged, and she was completely disheartened, she couldn't help being surprised.Zi Yan thought for a while, knowing that her master had lost the sword competition, it was inconvenient to say it clearly, she thought that she could calm down her mood slowly and just take a while.Immediately, I went out of the house to the Anshentang, and grabbed some medicine. I don't want Chen Xiangzi's complexion to become even uglier when he was lighting a fire in the house.I didn't know what happened, and asked all kinds of questions, but Chen Xiangzi didn't say anything, and then he became anxious and vomited blood all over his body.He didn't dare to ask again, and accompanied Ziyan to decoct the medicine with tears in his eyes. Regardless of all this, Yan Hua asked directly: "Master, did Zhao Lang keep his promise to resolve the enmity with the prince for you?" Chen Xiangzi's frozen eyes moved a little, and he nodded slightly.The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, since that was the case, why was he so unhappy? Could it be that the outcome of swordsmanship was far superior to others in his eyes? Chen Xiangzi's illness got worse day by day.Knowing that it was a heart disease, Yanhua wanted to go to Wugoufang to ask Master Jiaojing to come and heal him, but Chen Xiangzi stopped him.He often looked up at the sky in a daze, and smiled wryly at the thought of the idiot, which made the three secretly anxious.When he is in a good mood, he will point out a few words to Ziyan, and when he is in a bad mood, he will not see anyone and just stay in the room and meditate. Finally, the spring of the next year is here, and the birds are singing and the greenery is around, and the flowers are fresh and rainy.Seeing that the Tenth Masters Association was approaching day by day, Chen Xiangzi lingered on the sick bed and couldn't get up again.Knowing that he was hopeless, he found Side and Ziyan, and explained the funeral with a calm expression. "Ci'er, dad is going, don't cry, it's time for dad, don't be in pain." He stretched out his hand as hard as he could, put side's hand on Zi Yan's, turned his head and said to his apprentice: "Zi Yan, Master can't teach you anything, but you are far beyond my expectations, so you will go to the Tenth Teacher Association. But don't forget, you have to take good care of Fanger for me, and if you don't find it troublesome, you will take care of her for the rest of your life... I Knowing that this is a difficult task, if she can find a good family, please prepare more dowry for her... I will feel at ease." Zi Yan took a deep breath, nodded and said: "I understand." Chen Xiangzi said to him again: "After I'm gone, you just need to submit to the mourning. You don't need to wear filial piety. The funeral is simple and you don't need to disturb others. Just find a good place to bury it." Ziyan's hand knelt by the bed and pulled Chen Xiangzi: "Father, why did you explain the funeral...Don't do this, you will get better! I don't want to listen to this..." Yanhua gently tugged on Ziyan, and the two stepped out of the house.Zi Yan's eyes sparkled, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes, and heard Yan Hua say sadly: "I'm afraid your master will die." Zi Yan didn't say a word, he could see the master's fate better than others, and this was also when Chen Xiangzi taught him facial features. A clearly analyzed, unavoidable fate. "If we were outside the valley, I would have found a way to save him. It's a pity that all the spices here are exhausted." Yanhua sighed, "I didn't expect his illness to be so serious." "Master saw through it, and cut off his life." Zi Yan said softly.Will he do the same someday?Dialysed where it comes and goes, there is nothing to love, and all you want to do is go home. "You mean...he doesn't want to live?" Yanhua shook her head in confusion. This was a kind of life she had never known, a mind that was harder to distinguish than smell. Crying sideways to the point of exhaustion, Zi Yan calmly dragged him outside the door.With tears still on her face, she heard Ziyan ask expressionlessly: "Does Master have any unfulfilled wishes?" She was choked with sobs: "Why are you asking this... It's not like he's dying... Woo... Ziyan sighed: "Is there anyone you want to see the most, master? If so, this is the only thing we can do for him." Sideways suddenly stopped crying and looked straight at him. "Yes. Not only does my father want to see her, but I also miss her day and night—she is my mother." Zi Yan took her hand, and winked at Yu Hua, "Come on, let's go together and return Master Mistress to Master." The gold tinsel is enchanting, and the plain face contains spring.Spreading the picture Chen Xiangzi painted for his mother sideways, thinking of his father's death soon, tears poured down like rain.Zi Yan looked at the face of the person in the painting, it was very similar to the profile, and said: "Would you like to pretend to be your mother?" Side side responded sadly, seeing Zi Yan restrained her face and cleaned her hands, and applied the powder on her face.After dressing up for a while, he pulled Yan Hua over again, pretending to be sideways.With green sleeves and jade rings, phoenix eyes and red lips, he painted the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them with ease, without stopping.Staring at him sideways in a daze, in order not to ruin the makeup he had painstakingly applied, she held back and stopped crying. She was afraid that he would stop, as if once he stopped, her tears would flow out, and the tears he held back with great effort would also slide down. Sideways knew that Zi Yan was crying in her heart, so she couldn't cry anymore. The two women followed behind Zi Yan and walked into Chen Xiangzi's room.Ziyan took out the hollowed-out silver smoked ball at her waist, used her nails to draw out the indigo-colored eyebrows inside, and lit it in front of Chen Xiangzi's bed.The lively fragrance immediately filled the whole room, splashing on the face like crystal clear waterfalls and flowing springs, making the eyebrows and eyes chuckle. Unconsciously, he saw Chen Xiangzi in his prime waving to her.No longer the dying old man on the couch, Chen Xiangzi was radiant with a chic smile.She sat down obsessively, looked up at this mysterious man, and raised the three-foot green sword to wave gracefully in the courtyard. Dai frowns and waves, looking forward to the brilliance, is like a meeting thirty years ago.In Chen Xiangzi's eyes, what he saw was his beloved wife stroking the strings.Riding the waves with singing and singing, holding a cup to persuade the moon, he took advantage of the wine to dance the sword for her, as if flying away. How long has it been since I felt so happy?Chen Xiangzi danced to the place where she suddenly saw her beloved daughter smiling with his wife, who was generally charming and charming.That's right, there is nothing more satisfying than a family reunion and happiness. But who is that young man with a jade face and red lips?Looking at him compassionately, it was like looking directly at the previous life. Chen Xiangzi only felt a good dream, and when it was time to wake up, he hurriedly stopped drinking, looked intently, and sat on the bed with a smile on his side pretending to be his beloved wife.The strange fragrance strolled reservedly in the house, and suddenly, as if aware of being blown by the wind, it swooped down and leaned towards his nose. Chen Xiangzi smiled freely, thankfully he was sober at the moment of parting.The pride of a Yirong master does not allow him to be deceived by Yirong when he is about to die, even with the assistance of Tianxia Qixiang.He could clearly see their intentions.A pair of pupils locked Ziyan firmly, and after a long time, he finally closed them. It's time to find his beloved wife. He remembers her appearance like a knife in his heart. There was a smile on Chen Xiangzi's lips, and he passed away suddenly.Outside the house, a blooming wintersweet fell like a teardrop due to the wind.
