Chapter 7 Chapter 6: The Moon Tide Rushes

The next morning, when Feng Duying woke up, she heard a very special but pleasant sound outside the house, and she couldn't help getting up immediately in surprise. Stepping out of the wooden house, there is a refreshing sea breeze blowing on the face, which makes people refreshed. On the beach by the sea, Uncle Hai Yao is beating and repairing the fishing boat, occasionally looking up at the sea, the sea in the distance... Feng Duying glanced at it and was shocked. On the vast sea, a giant gray fish floats on the surface of the sea carrying Yi San, and three other giant fish swim around Yi San, sometimes leaping in the air, sometimes diving into the sea, sometimes swimming away from each other, and sometimes connecting end to end... in the sea Swimming out various movements and posing various postures, the giant fish carrying Yi San raised his back to lift him into the air for a while, and then swam in circles with him on his back, accompanied by the joyful cry of the giant fish. Sound... as if they were singing and dancing for Yi San.

At that moment, the sun was just rising, and the sky was full of morning glow, reflecting the sea crimson.But in the same color of sea and sky, the mermaid's frolicking is so miraculous and wonderful, it's like a rare painting, but it's hard to tell whether the painting is in the sky or in the sea. Feng Duying has experienced countless strange people and wonders in his life, but he has never seen such a scene, so he couldn't help but stare blankly. "Hahahaha... you little devils love to play, look at my clothes are all wet." Yi San's cheerful laughter spilled over the sea, flying and falling as the giant fish floated on the sea, the azure robe fluttered in the crimson light, and that touch of azure blue overwhelmed the clouds that covered the sky and the sea. On the peerless painting, a clear light and shadow are wiped across the sky.

"Who the hell are you?" Feng Duying murmured looking at the azure figure on the sea. "You haven't seen this big fish girl yet?" Uncle Hai Yao stopped his work when he saw her come out, and watched the wonders in the sea with her, "I heard from the elders that this fish is as smart as a human, and it is called a dolphin. This morning When the old man was wondering how they came to the beach, Mr. Yi came out, as if these dolphins were specially looking for him. This is the first time the old man has seen them in such an old age. something like this." Feng Duying didn't say a word, but the image of the giant eagle in Guiwai city flying across the sky that night, and the giant fish in the sea flying to the boat pulling him, he stood tall in the strong wind and waves, like a god descending ...I didn't think about it that night, but now I look at this mermaid picture, and I feel a little shocking.

"Old man, tell the young master and the girl to come back for dinner!" Auntie's call came from afar. "Okay!" Uncle Hai Yao raised his voice to agree, and then called out to the sea, "Young Master Yi, let's eat!" "Okay!" A reply came from the surface of the sea. So the jumping people and fish in the sea stopped playing, and then saw the dolphins carrying Yi San slowly back to the coast, and then let him down. "You all go back and play together next time." Yi San waved at the dolphins. The four dolphins raised their heads in the sea, uttered a loud cry, as if responding to Yi San's words, then swung their tails and swam back to the depths of the sea.

Yi San watched the dolphins disappear before turning around and walking towards the shore. His clothes and hair were all wet, and he should have been described as embarrassed, but his brows were wide and his gait was bold, and he had a kind of leisurely and generous demeanor. : "Hey, I forgot. I should have asked you to say hello to the brats, after all, they are your real saviors." Feng Duying looked at the face covered with water droplets reflecting the morning glow, "Can you drive birds and beasts?" Yi San paused, raised an eyebrow, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "They just look at me pleasing to the eye and like to be close to me. You must know that except for gods, no one in this world has the ability to drive birds and beasts." .”

Hearing such an answer, Feng Duying frowned, but he heard the soft sigh of Uncle Hai Yao beside him, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood. If this kind of ability is known to the world, ordinary people will definitely regard it as a demon disaster, and if they are not persecuted in every possible way, they will be afraid to avoid it, and some greedy people will want to take this ability for themselves, and they will give birth to thousands of people. A poisonous trick to gather or imprison. Strange people are always not allowed in the world. "Girl, go back to eat." Uncle Hai Yao greeted her when she saw her standing still.

"Yeah." Feng Duying responded, stepped back, walked a few steps, but couldn't help but look back at the sea. There is already a calm place, the sun is shining, the floating light is shining like gold, it is still as beautiful as a picture, but the cheerful fish song and fish dance just now is like a dream, disappearing without a trace. During breakfast, the aunt asked the two of them if they wanted to go to the city together. There will be a Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the city tonight, but it is very lively and beautiful. It turns out that today the couple are going to the city to celebrate the festival with their nephew.

Uncle Hai Yao was the youngest in his family. He had four brothers, but during the war years, three of them starved to death when they were young. Only he and his elder brother grew up, but the elder brother died in the war shortly after getting married. , My sister-in-law died after giving birth to a posthumous child.The two couples had no children and raised their nephew as if they were their own sons.The nephew grew up to be very promising. He went to work as a clerk at the rice shop in the city. Within a few years, he opened his own restaurant. He was also very filial to his uncle and aunt. He wanted to take the two elders to live in the city, but they were not used to it. It is still comfortable to live in the village, so my nephew often asks someone to bring some daily necessities such as rice, oil, cloth, etc. to my uncle and aunt.

Feng Duying and Yi San naturally shook their heads politely. "There are also lanterns in the town. Although there are not as many as in the city, it is still very lively." The aunt said again when she saw that the two of them were not going. "Uncle Yao, Aunt Yao, you just have to go, Miss Feng and I haven't watched the moon at the beach yet, so we have to stay here to watch the moon." Yi San smiled. So after breakfast, the husband and wife packed up some clothes and some seafood to bring to their nephew, and after giving them some instructions, they set out on the road.It is two hours away from Peicheng. The husband and wife are staying at the nephew's house today and will return tomorrow.

After the two of them left, Feng Duying sat under the eaves in front of the house, looking into the distance, with a calm look on his face, showing a dazed look.Yi San found paper, pens, and rice soup, and drew, cut, cut, and sticked at the table. The day passed so quietly. In the evening, after the two had dinner, they each moved a chair and sat in front of the house, watching the sunset slowly set, watching the sea and the sky be dyed a deep crimson color by the sunset. "This kind of scenery is beautiful, but it always feels too heroic, so the next moment of it is a dark night." Yi San looked at the blazing sunset in the sky and sighed softly.

Feng Duying turned her head and glanced at him, dazed for a moment.Just because in the twilight, the brilliance that overflowed from that person's body surpassed the brilliance of the rays of the sky.At that moment, she even wondered inexplicably how fourth brother would feel when he saw him. "It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, poor people wandering in the world." Yi San suddenly said softly. Feng Duying heard it, his heart moved, and said: "You are homesick, don't you just go back." Yi San shook his head, with a hint of sadness in his voice: "I was kicked out of the house, how can I go back so easily." Feng Duying was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and looked sideways at him.For what reason did a man like him get evicted from his home?Although curious, he did not ask. Yi San didn't continue talking, but just looked into the distance with melancholy and nostalgic eyes. The sky dimmed little by little, and the two of them sat and watched the last bit of crimson sinking into the western sky, and then the night was like a canopy, a faint full moon slowly rose from the sky, and a few sparse stars slowly shiny. Yi San who was sitting quietly stood up suddenly, and said: "Since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, even though it's just the two of us, we should look like a festival." After saying that, he turned and went back to the room. Feng Duying slowly got up from the chair, looking up at the pale moon in the sky. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival, but this year the eight of them cannot be reunited. The elder brother is still in Beihai, she is in Dongming at the moment, and the brothers in the imperial capital don't know that they are in the palace at the moment with all the officials. Or do the six of them drink together to enjoy the moon, or go back home to reunite with their wives and children?If they each go home for the holidays, then the fourth brother... When Yi San came out again, it was already dark, and Feng Duying stood quietly and looked up at the night sky. It was a lonely gesture, but there was a kind of tranquility in her brows. Yi San watched it for a while, and said, "Come and help me." Feng Duying came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he saw Yi San holding a lantern in each hand. In the night, a cloud of red lights surrounded him, setting off the faint smile on his face, a kind of warmth close to the heart. "You've been busy all day for this?" She walked over. "Since you don't go to the city or town to appreciate the lanterns, then you have to meet the scene." Yi San stretched out his hands, "Come and help hang up the lanterns." Feng Duying took the lantern, and hung it under the eaves with just a light jump. After landing, he walked to the front of the house and looked up, and couldn't help but secretly praise Yi Sanhao's craftsmanship. Both are lotus lanterns, with white petals supported on the blue lotus leaves, and a ball of orange lights wrapped in the white petals, the lights dance like flower pistils, hanging on the left and right in front of the wooden house, in front of the wooden house. In the night, it seems that the lotus flower is in full bloom, blooming brilliance. After a while, Yi San came out with another bamboo basket, "Let's go enjoy the moon." After speaking, he walked towards the seaside. Feng Duying looked at his back for a moment, then stepped up to keep up. The two walked to the place where Yi San played the flute last night, climbed up the reef and sat down, facing the sea quietly. The full moon in the sky is getting brighter and brighter, like a white jade disc, bright and bright, and the light it casts is like a thin and light silver gauze, sprinkled on the sea surface, undulating with the waves, like a fairy in the moon dancing in the wind. Shayi, graceful. "There is a bright moon on the sea, and the sky is at this moment." Yi San whispered softly, looking at the bright and flawless moon in the sky, and sighed faintly, "It's just that the beautiful scenery we are looking at at this moment is not something everyone can share. .” "This is the way things are in the world." Feng Duying's brows were cold, "The so-called 'I hope people will last forever, and we will share the joys and joys of thousands of miles' is nothing but human masturbation. If you are gone, you are gone, and if you are separated, you are separated. How can you see Looking at the same scenery, how can we have the same thoughts.” Hearing such words, Yi San couldn't help turning his head to look at her. The striking face has a high and full forehead, picturesque eyebrows, a straight and handsome nose bridge, and beautiful lips like water chestnut flowers, which can be said to be rare beauty in the world.It's just...the long eyebrows that fly obliquely into the temples and the tails of the eyebrows are slender, and the corners of the eyes of the long phoenix eyes are also pointed upwards, which makes her brows have a sword-like sharpness, and she has been in the top position for a long time. There is a kind of awe-inspiring power when sitting upright without saying a word.For a general who commanded thousands of troops, these would naturally complement each other, but for a young woman in her prime, on such a peaceful and peaceful moonlit night, she still had such an expression on her face, which made Yi San sigh and feel pity. "Why?" He couldn't help asking the question that had been in his heart for a long time. This question was endless, but Feng Duying moved his eyes to look at him, and when his eyes met, he understood what he meant.Although they never confessed their identities to each other, she knew that he knew who she was. So he was asking, she is a delicate woman, why should she be stained with blood with a sharp sword in her hand?Even if there were unavoidable difficulties in the troubled times back then, but now that the world has been settled, wouldn't she be able to enjoy wealth and honor in peace? She turned her head to look at the sea, remained silent for a moment, and said: "At first it was just to live, but later..." After a slight pause, she still said indifferently, "I want people like uncles, aunts, and the like to be able to go out to sea to catch Fish, sail back home at sunset." Those words were so simple that they were almost plain, but Yi San couldn't help being moved when he heard them. Looking at the woman in the rough clothes and gorgeous clothes under the moonlight, he couldn't help asking again: "Is it the same in life?" The women he has come into contact with these years, no matter they are noble or poor, what they long for most is to find a good husband and live a peaceful life, even those chivalrous women who eliminate evil and promote good in the world In the end, he will put down his sword and stay with his husband and son-in-law, with children around his knees.Throughout the ages, what women have asked for is nothing more than this! Feng Duying didn't answer right away, she looked at the boundless sea of ​​night, her eyes were distant and clear, after a while her voice came out softly, like the night wind cutting the sea tide: "To this day, today, in this dynasty , The common people in this world have assumed an unshirkable responsibility, so the sword in their hands cannot be let go." Yi San was shocked again, a faint admiration welled up in his heart.Throughout the past dynasties, the most respected are those famous ministers and good generals who retired to the mountains and fields without loving the glory and power after making great achievements. "Aren't you afraid even if you count your skills high? Even if you lose all your bows, don't you regret it?" This time Feng Duying smiled, and a smile as light as the morning breeze appeared on that face full of sharpness, making that face instantly like a lotus in the evening, with a freehand style. "What you said will never appear to the eight of us." She glanced sideways at Yi San, her phoenix eyes were clear and radiant, just like the sea in front of her, with bright light flowing above the boundless depths. "And those who retire after their careers are not real heroes in my eyes. In the final analysis, they are just ordinary people seeking a good death. From the day I picked up the sword, I remembered that 'a soldier is a murder weapon, and a good soldier is a good soldier. Die in a soldier' ​​this statement. I have killed countless times in my life, and I don't want to die without a disease. So..." She moved her head to look at the sea with a calm expression, "Even if there is a time when all the birds are exhausted, I will Accept it." Yi San was speechless for a long time, just looked at her with extremely complicated eyes, and after a while, he sighed softly: "'Those who decide the world must have great love in the world' is really true." "Oh?" Feng Duying looked sideways. Yi San smiled and nodded. So, Feng Duying smiled calmly. "The universe is in your hands, regardless of merit or demerit. Be strong, and take advantage of the present." Yi San said leisurely, then stretched out his arms to lift the bamboo basket on the side, took out a pot and two cups from the basket, filled a cup and handed it to the wind In front of Duying, "Come on, let's toast to the goodness of this full moon man!" Feng Duying took it, and the two of them clinked glasses and drank with their heads raised. "Osmanthus tea." Feng Duying said, turning the teacup in his hand after drinking. "This is soaked in the sweet-scented osmanthus you picked yourself, isn't it very fragrant?" Yi San smiled. Feng Duying looked at Yi San, remembering the scene where he coaxed her to pick osmanthus, and couldn't help but smile back at him. This person in front of her is undoubtedly different from anyone she has ever met before. Apart from her seven brothers, she has no close friends, let alone so-called boudoir sisters, confidantes and friends, but this person makes her unsuspecting, and with It is a very strange thing to get along with each other, but she does not resist. Because she knew that she and him just met by chance, and then went their separate ways. Yi San took out a plate of cured fish, a plate of crab, a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and two bowls of bean curd from the bamboo basket, and placed them one by one on the reef, as if he was presenting rare delicacies. "With a bright moon in front of you, a beautiful woman by your side, plus fragrant tea and delicious food, this Mid-Autumn Festival can be regarded as... well, wait, it's still the same." He took out a bamboo flute from his sleeve, "And the flute is melodious, this Mid-Autumn Festival The festival is complete." When he finished speaking, he played the flute on his lips. In an instant, the sound of the flute flew lightly, like the clear light falling from the middle of the moon, fluttering with the wind, and like the waves flying in the sea, undulating with the tide, and in an instant, it was as cool as a spring, faintly like The flowers bloom, the voiceless sound surrounds the ears, and the dark fragrance soaks into the bones. Feng Duying listened to the flute music, staring blankly at the person opposite, his jade face was flawless, his posture was exquisite, and he couldn't help but feel agitated for a moment. She had heard this flute song before, it was the "Song of Relief of Worry" that night. She has met many people in her life, and there are many strange ones, but in her eyes, they are no different from those who pass by on the street.And she alone is not wary of him in front of her eyes, getting along with him has never been more relaxed and happy, she will do things because of him that she would never do before, and she can say things to him that she has never said to anyone... ...Is it because of this clean flute sound?Or because he has a pair of clear eyes?Or was it because he was like a god descending to save her when she was in danger at sea?Or because he knew who she was...but he didn't care or be afraid? There was a lot of disturbance in her mind, but she couldn't figure it out, so she looked away and looked up at the night sky. In that vast expanse of black color, there is a bright moon, clear brilliance, star and cold light, which seem to be within reach, but far away above the nine heavens, just like that person... After Yi Sanyi finished playing the song, when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Feng Duying's expression looking up at the night sky, with a calm face and focused eyes, as if she was not looking at the night sky, but at someone, such a persistent and quiet expression made him slightly Startled, a strange emotion arose in my heart, so I couldn't help but ask: "Who are you thinking about?" This question made Feng Duying look away, and turned to look at him with a little surprise in his eyes. Yi San also raised her head to look at the night sky. She didn't know what was so strange about the night sky, but she restrained all her sharpness and showed such a soft expression, "Who are you thinking about when you look there?" Feng Duying naturally wouldn't answer. As a result, the strange emotion in Yi San's heart deepened, "The person you are thinking of..." His voice paused slightly, he seemed a little hesitant, but he finally said, "Is it the person you like in your heart?" ?” Feng Duying didn't get angry or embarrassed when he heard it, but just looked at Jiutian again, and then said softly, almost inaudibly: "This night sky is somewhat similar to him." "Oh." Yi San nodded, but he no longer wanted to ask who that person was. The two sat quietly for a while without opening their mouths, they just stared at the night sky in a daze. The bright moon in the night sky always seems to evoke many thoughts in people, making people's hearts soft and sentimental, especially those who are far away from home. So looking at it, Yi San's expression was a little dazed, and unconsciously, a piece of the past blurted out like that: "In the past, there was a girl next to me, she was as old as me, we grew up together, we can be called childhood sweethearts. The elders and relatives around me have always said that they will marry us when we grow up, so I knew from a young age that I would marry her when I grew up, and I always regarded her as my wife in my heart. However, when we grew up, ..." He suddenly smiled slightly, the expression on his face could not be described as sad or happy, "But she told the elders that she likes my second brother, and she only wants to marry my second brother." Feng Duying frowned and looked sideways at him. "When I found out, I didn't know whether it was loss or sadness. I just felt very blocked in my heart, so I went to her and asked her that I grew up with you and you played with me every day. What good things did I have? You snatched it and never took it back. I never told anyone about the soil pit you dug in the woods that caused several friends to break their front teeth. It’s good for you. Why don’t you like me? Do you like the second brother?" Yi San still smiled when he said this, but there was a touch of helplessness on his face, and he let out a long sigh, "But her reason... is better if she doesn't know." Feng Duying thought to himself, what did the girl say that made him still so worried?Thinking about it, looking at the handsome face under the moonlight that looked like a god, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be that she thinks you are prettier than her?" As soon as the words fell, Yi San's smile suddenly froze. Meng... hit? !Feng Duying was surprised, and then quickly turned his head to look at the sea. Not long after she turned her head, Yi San's faint voice came from behind: "Don't bear it, you will have a stomachache." After hearing this, Feng Duying couldn't bear it anymore, "Hahahaha..." She laughed loudly, her laughter was clear and smooth, it went into the sky with the wind, and fell into the sea with the wind, it was cheerful and bright, and everyone who heard it was happy. At this moment, if people who knew her saw her, they would be stunned, and even her seven brothers would also be stunned.Just because General Fengying can smile lightly, sneer, sneer, sneer... But he has never smiled so freely and brightly. But at this moment, the boundless night sky, the sky full of stars and moon, and the deep sea have witnessed General Fengying's unprecedented laughter, and... A man who watched her silently and sighed slightly in his heart. It wasn't until Feng Duying stopped laughing that she woke up from the indulgence at this moment, feeling a little embarrassed, and to cover up, she asked: "Then what happened next?" Yi San looked away, looked at the sea, and said calmly: "The elders asked the second brother for questioning. Knowing that they are in love with each other, they agreed to her marriage with the second brother." Feng Duying listened, remembering that he said he was kicked out of the house, so he blurted out: "You didn't get kicked out of the house because you were dissatisfied and made a big fuss about their wedding, did you?" "Hahahaha..." Yi San couldn't help laughing and shaking his head when he heard this, and then his gaze fell back on Feng Duying, "If it were you, would you just do it? Let me tell you, it's fun to think about it, do it But it’s boring. Because forcing someone who doesn’t like you to be unhappy must be you in the end.” Feng Duying was stunned when he heard these words, the thoughts that had been hidden for many years suddenly flooded into his chest, he suddenly suppressed his smile, and the light in his eyes dimmed. Yi San saw her expression, her chest felt tight for some reason, then she looked away, and said: "I was expelled because I did something that was regarded as treason by the tribe." When he said this, The smiles on his face also faded away. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he sighed softly, "If I am not allowed to go back for the rest of my life, then I can only be a lonely soul wandering in the world." His voice became low, In the end, it seemed that she couldn't bear the bright moonlight, she leaned her head slightly on her knees, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows and eyes. Although his words were cryptic, Feng Duying has experienced troubled times, and he has never seen any kind of people or things, so he is not surprised and does not ask questions.And since meeting this person, this person has always been carefree and seems to be omnipotent, but her invincible General Fengying has been defeated many times. It's time to let out a sigh of relief, but I feel a little sad in my heart. Looking away, he could only see him hanging his head and leaning on his knees, his long hair like a spring of ink cascading down, and a faint silver-blue light flowing under the moonlight, like a river of light flickering.Feng Duying watched and stretched out his hand unknowingly. The moment he touched his hand, he felt the long hair under his palm was as silky as silk, and he was reluctant to let go. When Yi San raised his head in surprise, Feng Duying woke up. Immediately, the base of her ears felt hot, but she tried to stay calm and didn't even move a single eyebrow, so what Mr. Yi saw was the cold and calm wind. The general stretched out his hand and stroked his head like a comforting pet, so Mr. Yi said quietly again: "How can you touch a man's head casually." This sentence made General Feng burn from his fingertips to his face, but General Feng kills people without blinking an eye, how could he be stumped by such a trivial matter, so she calmly stopped and said: "You Born like this, you can't be a man." These words hit Mr. Yi's Achilles heel, and immediately made him hide his face and turn his head, "Ai! Ai! Ai! You women who judge people by their appearance, how can you know how good I am?" He sighed deliberately, then raised his head and pointed The bright moon in the sky sighed: "Qingqing Zijin, caress my heart. For the sake of the king, I have pondered until now. Yoyo Luming, the apple of the wild food. I have guests, playing the lute and the sheng. It is like the moon, when can I stop." At the end of the chanting, I chanted with a long tone and repeated "It's like the moon, when can I..." As I chanted, I thought of the loss of youthful feelings, thought of the relentless drive away by my family, and thought of all these years. Rivers and mountains, enjoying the beautiful scenery and good times, also drunk and laughing happily... But I never asked to know half of myself, I was just alone along the way, and there was no place to return, suddenly giving birth to a feeling of loss and loneliness. Hearing his groaning sound getting slower and slower, and the tone slowly condensed with sadness, Feng Duying couldn't help feeling sore in his heart, and couldn't help but look at him again. At that moment, Yi San looked up at the night sky, the arc on the side was beautiful and picturesque, but when the wind alone shadow caught his eye, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, his whole body shook violently, and he shot like lightning instantly, clasping Yi San's chin with five fingers, trembling He shouted, "Who are you?" At that moment, the five fingers exerted strength, pinching Yi San's bones so hard that he wanted to shatter, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Feng Duying's fingers, and turned his face to look at her, his eyes were clear and calm, "Let go!" Feng Duying was startled, then regained consciousness, and relaxed with his fingers, but he didn't let go of Yi San's chin, turned his face, stretched out his left hand to feel for his face, to see if there was any disguise.But the skin under his fingers was smooth and warm, it was impossible to be a fake face at all, so he turned his face again, and looked at his side, the arc between the eyebrows was so perfect yet so deeply familiar, Her chest was choked, and she murmured: "So it wasn't me dreaming, what I saw was you..." Yi San raised his hand and pulled her hand down, "You..." Before he could speak, his eyes met Feng Duying's, and he was shocked. The unattainable general Fengying, who was full of vigor and unattainable spirit, was in a trance at the moment, his eyes were like joy, sorrow, or dream, as if he was looking at him, or looking at another person through him, such complicated eyes only looked at him. The whole body was terrified, and he was speechless. The two looked at each other like this, without saying a word to each other, with different expressions. For a moment, Feng Duying moved his eyes away and turned his gaze to the sea. For a while, the beach was quiet, only the sound of the sea breeze blowing the waves. For a long time, Yi San looked at Feng Duyingyi's dazed look, recalled her excited and strange words just now, sighed softly in his heart, and then broke the silence and asked: "Who were you looking at just now?" When the words fell, a wave of tide surged in, slapping the shore, stirring up waves several feet high, and then crashing down, the water droplets splashed and flew down the reef, and the cold water droplets fell on the surface, just like the one in memory. The icy sword light suddenly made Feng Duying tremble all over, and she almost couldn't help raising her arms to hug her shoulders, but the calmness gained from years of fighting made her still sit upright like a mountain.Looking at the sea quietly, after a long while, as if she had made up her mind, she turned her gaze back to Yi San, and said in a hoarse voice: "When you turn your face sideways, your eyebrows and eyes look like a person." "Oh?" Yi San's heart moved, "Who do you look like?" Feng Duying looked at him without blinking, and Yi San couldn't distinguish her eyes at that moment, "Like my brother." Hearing this answer, Yi San heaved a sigh of relief, but felt a little strange, and said, "You have six older brothers, which one do I look like? Am I like your No. 1 fourth brother?" The last sentence contained a tinge of banter, but it failed to make Feng Duying smile. She shook her head lightly, looking at him with such complicated eyes, "No, it's like my own brother." "Huh?" Yi San was surprised at this moment, "You have a real brother?" This was never heard of, the world knew that the eight of them were all orphans, they met when they were young, and they married Jinlan afterwards. Feng Duying looked away again, and looked at the night sky silently, suddenly, his thoughts seemed to be gone. Yi San looked at her for a moment, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to fill up the teacup, and handed it to her, "Such a good night..." He raised his hand and pointed at himself, "There is such a beloved man, the most suitable for loving her Complaint." Feng Duying turned to look at him. The moonlight is like water, the beauty is incomparable, there is a faint smile on the lips, as pure as the first snow, as bright as the blue sky, and the sound of the tide in the ear is like a song like a complaint. This situation makes my heart beat. After pondering for a while, she stretched out her hand to take the teacup, still looking back at the sea, sipping tea quietly.The cold tea is slightly astringent and bitter, but a wave of cinnamon is lingering around the tip of the nose. When inhaling the heart and lungs, the turbulent mood slowly returns to calm along with the coolness. On the side, Yi San took out the bamboo flute from his sleeve and played a piece leisurely. "Actually, my elder brother told me about my brother later, because I was still a baby when we separated from him." A good night on a moonlit night, with a touch of cinnamon. On the vast seaside of Dongming, someone told a long-sealed past event to the faint flute music, and told the cool sea breeze. "You also know that before Dadong, there were more than 70 years of troubled times. The Central Plains was divided into separate regimes and disputes. Today it is the world of Emperor Li, and the Ming Dynasty is the people of King Zhang. There are frequent wars and turmoil in the world, and the people are in turmoil. The homeless people had no means of living, and at that time starved to death all over the wild and withered bones for thousands of miles." The "de" of the flute sounded like a nod. Feng Duying's gaze crossed the boundless sea, and fell far into the past: "More than 20 years ago, in Pucheng in the north, there was a tragic massacre, that is, the notorious Pucheng Ten-Day Massacre. The eldest brother is Pucheng Man, so am I." The sound of the flute suddenly sounded high-pitched and excited, as if the shock was unbelievable. In the troubled times of the past, the victorious army who conquered the city often slaughtered the city, but most of them were acts of revenge after encountering strong resistance. When they entered the city, they would slaughter and loot for a day or two, but only Pucheng was slaughtered for a whole day. In ten days, even the bustling Pucheng became an empty city and a dead city, and it still hasn't recovered its vitality. Amid the high-pitched sound of the flute, Feng Duying looked coldly, and said: "Yang Wen guarded Pucheng back then, and Wang Duo took seven days and seven nights to capture the city. Burning, killing, prostitution, and plundering, they did everything." Referring to the tragedy of that year, even though it had been many years, she couldn't help but be full of resentment, "Brother's relatives were all killed, and he escaped by hiding in a tree. He was ten years old that year. But That was only the first day of the massacre of the city. In the next few days, the eldest brother ran around, trying to escape from the city. Then one day he hid in a deserted house to avoid the soldiers of the massacre of the city, where he met A boy who was about his age. The boy was holding a baby in his arms, and was biting his finger to feed the baby blood. When he saw his elder brother rushing in, he quickly picked up the baby and tried to hide, but there were soldiers chasing him outside. sound, and the walls of the deserted house are empty and there is nowhere to hide." The sound of the flute suddenly became hasty, as if in a dangerous situation, anxious and uneasy. Instead, a faint smile floated on Feng Duying's face, "At the critical moment, the boy put the baby into the arms of the eldest brother, and told me to lead them away, please protect my sister, if I live, I will take care of you." Just come to pick her up. If I die, then you will raise my younger sister in return for saving your life today. Then the boy jumped out of the deserted house and ran away. The soldiers outside the house really chased the boy. Brother So he took the opportunity to run away with the baby in his arms." The sound of the flute suddenly slowed down, as if Gao Xuan's heart had finally let go, and then it was soft and shallow, as if asking. Feng Duying glanced sideways at Yi San, who was playing the flute, and nodded slightly, "The boy who led away the pursuers is my own brother, and that baby is me." At this moment, those bright phoenix eyes were clear and soft , like a pool of rippling clear water, "My dear brother nourished me with his blood and protected me with his life when he was so young." Because of the gentleness in those words, the sound of the flute became clear and lively, thanking her for escaping danger, and admiring the young man. It's just that Feng Duying's soft and bright eyes dimmed in the next moment, "Afterwards, elder brother carried me and escaped from the deserted house, and went back quietly at dusk, but he didn't see my brother. Later, elder brother stayed near the deserted house for five consecutive days I hid, but I didn’t wait for my brother, so I assumed he was dead, and my elder brother kept his promise and took me out of Pucheng.” The sound of the flute paused slightly, and then became low, like a long sigh, playing faintly, in the sound of the night wind and tide, it seemed so light, but so clear, like whispering, gently bringing comfort. Feng Duying listened quietly, for a long time, she turned her eyes to Yi San, "It has been many years since this happened, and every time I think about it, although I feel regretful, I am also relieved, because my two elder brothers are affectionate and righteous. " The sound of the flute was faint and stopped. Yi San received the flute and looked at Feng Duying. At this moment, her eyes were clear and her expression was stable. So he smiled slightly and said, "What happened later? Will you see your brother again?" Feng Duying's eyes flashed, and then he turned his head to look at the sea of ​​night, with a distant expression, "We have been separated since then, and my elder brother raised me up. There is a jade bracelet, a silver lock, and three gold rings hidden in the swaddle that wrapped me up." , the words 'Pucheng Fengshi' were embroidered with gold thread on the corner of the swaddle, so my eldest brother decided my surname as 'Feng'." Yi San frowned and looked at her. But Feng Duying's gaze was fixed on the distant sea, as if there was something there that made her unable to move her eyes. Yi San picked up the teacup, drank it quietly, and looked at the sea. The waves undulated, rushing to the beach suddenly, and retreating back to the sea suddenly, repeating this endlessly. The two looked at the sea, each lost in thought. Quietly, I don't know how long it has passed, suddenly there is a cry of "quack!", a night bird flies past the sea surface, and then flies away in the silver light of the cold moon. Yi San came back to his senses, looked at Feng Duying who was still facing the sea, lifted the teapot and poured two cups of tea again, one cup was handed to Feng Duying, and the other cup was held by himself, he said slowly: "Speaking of which, you and The stories of your seven brothers have been rumored in the streets and alleys for a long time, and I don’t know how much I’ve heard over the years, but it’s rare to be true.” He took a sip of tea, looked at the sky and said leisurely: “Look at the bright moon and bright sky, but it’s also a long night , why not tell a story, to assist the good night?" Feng Duying's eyes moved, and he looked back, "Story? We are still alive... Those are already stories?" Yi looked at her three times. Their eyes met, one was quiet and profound, and the other was slightly puzzled and dazed. "Some people have died for tens of thousands of years, and no one will tell their stories, while some people are still alive, and their deeds have been recited in the world. This is the difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people. 。”易三看着她，“只是那些传说的事，经过许多人添油加醋，往往已与真实相差甚远。”他说到这，眸中漾起一丝笑意，“就比如你们八人，民间有的传说你们乞丐、苦役出身，有的则传说你们是苍茫山上的神龙与凤凰之子。” 在那双如水之净如夜之深的眸子里，风独影看入一份清淡安宁。 许久，她移开目光，抬手支颐，神色平静又显得渺远，“好啊，我告诉你，我与我的兄弟们的出身与相遇的故事。” 易三莞尔:“洗耳恭听。” 沙漏流泄，月上中天。 饮完一杯茶，风独影那独有的清澈而微带冷意的声音再次响起。 “大哥先是带我逃到利城，那时候占踞利城的是马隐、马健父子，经营有十数年，还算比较的安定。大哥便将襁褓里的玉镯、银锁、金环当掉，仗着那点钱倒是过了大半年的安生日子。大哥说幸好我那时已有七、八个月大了，把馒头嚼碎了也能喂下去，若是个吃奶的娃那可得活活饿死了。而大哥那时才十岁，他家祖上是做棺材生意的，城破之前也是不愁温饱的，所以他完全不善生计坐吃山空，等到银钱用完，便只能流浪乞讨过日。” “喔。”易三叩着茶杯浅浅笑开，“原来不是神龙之子，是棺材铺之后。” 风独影不以为意，“天下皆知，我们八人出身寒微。” “哦？”易三目光里带出一点深意，“我这几年看了些史书，史书上的开国之君们即算他出生时是一位奴隶，但追朔到祖上时都是显赫非凡。日后史官为你们编传之时自然也会点缀一番的。” 风独影颇是不屑哼了一声，“别人的事我们管不着，但本朝史官定不敢如此'点缀'我们八人。” “是吗？”易三闻言轻笑，他身子往后一倒，随性的仰躺于礁石上。 那刻他自下仰望，看到的便是风独影仿佛玉石裁画的下颏，浓密得像墨色纸扇一样的眼睫，海风里，有几缕发丝飘拂，而头顶天幕如绸皓月如轮。要是能画下来就好了，脑中这么想着，口里却问道:“那后来呢？你们先遇着的是哪个兄弟？” “最先遇到的是三哥。”坐得久了，风独影便也往后一倒，舒服躺在礁石上。 易三侧首，见两人他相隔不过咫尺，当她眼睛眨动，那眼睫便微微颤动，仿佛是风中的蝴蝶，一时胸膛里传来“砰！砰！砰！”的剧跳，一声一声和着那颤动的蝴蝶……他猛然坐起身来。 风独影却并没有注意到他的神态，仰躺在礁石上更是方便了看着天上的朗月明星，只是秋夜沁凉的海风拂过时，她不自觉的微微抱起双臂。 易三垂眸看着礁石上的女子，她自小长于男人堆里，自然不会在意与一个男人同躺于礁石上。心头顿然忽松忽紧，忽酸忽甜，竟是难以辨清滋味。沉默片刻，脱下外袍盖在她的身上，“伤口虽结疤了，但女子体性阴寒，你莫躺在凉石上，裹着衣裳吧。” 犹带男子清爽气息的外袍盖在身上，带来一阵暖意，风独影移眸，入目的却是一片殷红，瞬即闭上双目，眉峰一蹙，“像血一样。”声音冷冷的，如同冰底流淌而过的水。 易三微愣，尔后明白了，看一眼身上红色的中衣，再看一眼那个裹在天青外袍里的女子。 月华之下，容如雪玉，美若霜花，可眉目凌厉，令人不敢亲近。固然她得今日之荣华尊贵，可她这一路走过，所失必胜于所得。一时心头有着从未有过的酸软，想说些什么，可出口时却是淡淡一句:“我倒觉得红色挺好的，像火一样，让人看着便觉温暖。” 风独影听了没有反驳，也没有认同，只是睁开了眼，望着夜空。 易三再次躺下，双臂枕在脑后，问:“你说最先遇到的是你三哥，那是什么时候的事？” “在我三岁的时候遇上的。”风独影也将手臂枕于脑后，“我那时还不大记事，所以那也是大哥后来说的。那天大哥刚讨到一个糠饼子，一手牵了我，打算回我们暂住的废宅，经过一条小巷时碰上了一个小孩。大哥后来说起时说，当年那小孩明明骨瘦如柴，矮他足足一个头，而且还冲他笑得很和善，可他看着小孩的眼睛就脊背发凉，仿佛是一匹饥饿的豺狼。所以他那时当机立断，将手中的糠饼子分出一半，而后来三哥也承认，当日大哥要不是分他一半糠饼，他会等大哥走过去，然后从背后用袖子里藏着的一块磨得很尖的石头砸大哥的脑袋。” 易三听了，不由道:“俗话说三岁看老，你三哥是极擅诡道之人。” 风独影闻言，不由侧首看他，想他看人的眼光倒是准。 “而后呢？”易三的目光落在天幕上不动。 风独影收回目光，道:“那时三哥见大哥手中只一个糠饼子都分他一半，认为他讲义气，跟这样的人打交道不会吃亏，所以就与大哥说结伙。因为那些流浪汉和乞丐也很多拉帮结派的，人一多，地盘大，能讨到或者抢到更多的吃的。大哥答应了，三哥从小就脑子好使，有他和大哥搭伴，我们就不只吃到糠饼、馊饭了，有时候还能啃到肉骨头，我是到四岁的时候才知肉是什么味，尽管是别人扔地上不要的。” “你三哥名唤'宁静远'，其人与名可谓名不副其实。”易三说着，话中颇是感概。 “因为名副其表。”风独影看着夜空，脑中浮现出宁静远斯文儒雅的模样。 “喔。”易三认同的点点头，“而后遇着谁了？” “三哥之后遇着的是六哥，六哥是平州人，家里是开当铺的。平州被覃梁攻破时，他们家被抢掠一空，他爹娘领着他们兄弟两个逃难出来，一开始还能一日三餐，但很快便只能一日一个馒头，到最后身无余物一天一顿稀饭也喝不上。然后有一日早上六哥醒来，手里握着半个馒头，他爹娘与大哥却不见踪影。” 易三一怔，皱起眉头:“他爹娘抛弃了他？” “乱世里，这样的事举不胜举。”风独影却是一脸平静。 “那……”易三侧首看她一眼，“你六哥……后来可有与他爹娘重聚？” “没有。”风独影回答得很干脆，“六哥当年七岁，从我们初步站稳脚根，再到如今手握重权，六哥从不提找亲人的事，他总说那时候年纪太小，早不记得爹娘姓什名谁，找不到的。我想六哥当年能记得他本名叫'华六合'，又怎会不记得爹娘名姓，只不过是他并不想找他爹娘罢了。从玉师赐我们名起，他从来只用'华荆台'这个名字，便是让他爹娘循着'华六合'这个名找到他的可能都不给的。所以普天只知有'华荆台'华将军，除我们几人外再无人知晓华将军曾有个名'华六合'。” “唉。”易三轻轻叹息，却没有说什么。 “六哥如今对他家那三个小子爱之入骨，许就是难忘当年被弃之痛。”风独影心头亦叹了一声，“但这么多年过去，六哥从不提起，面上亦从没有表现，自我们初见始，六哥便是那幅模样了。” 易三挑眉，“哦？是何模样？” “遇着六哥时，是在利城的观音庙前。去庙里上香的多有些妇人信女，最易讨得果点银钱了，所以那一日我们早早便到了庙前，然后我们见到一个小孩双手捧着一颗洁白光滑的石头，正冲一乘小轿里走出来的少女说'姐姐，这是我从观音座前得到的石子，它跟随了观音娘娘那么久，肯定得了灵性，我送给姐姐，愿它保佑姐姐找个如意郎君'。那少女听小孩这般说，又看那石子光洁可爱，便接过了。然后小孩再说'姐姐您能随意赏我一样东西吗'，边说着眼睛就看着少女腰间挂着的香囊。那香囊甚是精巧，但不过一个不值钱的随身物件，少女见小孩神态憨实，便解了香囊给他。” 听到这，易三忍不住道:“他要香囊干么？那女子既然大方，倒不如问她直接要点吃的实在。” “那时候我们也这么想。”风独影唇边缓缓衔起一抹淡笑，“那少女给了小孩香囊后便进庙了，而小孩却依旧守在庙门前，庙前人来人往的，过得约莫两刻的样子，一个锦衣年轻男子骑着高头大马来了，手中摇着折扇春风满面的样子，后边还跟着两个仆人。小孩瞅见年轻男子下了马，便又飞快的跑了过去，说'大哥哥，这个香囊是刚才一个很漂亮很漂亮的穿绿衣服的姐姐掉的，大哥哥你要去拜菩萨肯定会碰上那位漂亮姐姐，你帮我还给她好不好？'。那年轻男子听了他的话，顿喜笑颜开的接过了香囊，还顺手甩给小孩三颗银豆子。” “啊呀，你六哥可真是人小鬼大呀。”易三不得连连赞叹，“哪位少女不想嫁个如意郎君，而给美女送还香囊这等韵事又有哪个男子不乐意做呢。他一颗石子换了三颗银豆，可真会做没本买卖。” “可不。”风独影凤目里溢满笑意，“我们三个等在庙前那么久都没讨上一个果子，可他一会儿工夫就得了三颗银豆，那去买馒头可是一筐了。所以啊，我三哥立时上前去与他搭讪，也不知他与小孩说了些什么，反正回来时他已与小孩手牵手成了好兄弟。后来六哥总是一口咬定当年年少无知被三哥哄了。三哥则一脸得色说六哥做生意虽是精，但看人处事却还是嫩了点。” “哈哈……”易三忍不住轻笑，“你们得了你六哥，这以后岂不就不用饿肚子了。” 风独影沉吟了一下，才道:“在利城的时候确实没饿过了。” “哦？”易三侧目。 “当年六哥被他爹娘抛了后，他一个七岁孩童，不知东南西北，便跟着一群逃难的人走，一路上靠帮人背行李或是替人背小孩得一口半口干粮，就这样到了利城。”风独影眉心微微锁起，“六哥有个怪癖，他宁肯去偷去抢人家的东西，也决不肯伸手向人讨，而且也不许我们去讨。当年利城城破，我们一路逃亡，因为绝了乞讨一途，常常几日吃不上一粒米，只能嚼野草树皮，饿得更惨。” 易三闻言，默然片刻，道:“或许与他爹娘弃他的事有关。无论是亲情还是吃食，他绝不向人乞讨，绝不讨别人不要的。” 风独影心头一震，转头看着易三，想这人倒是心窍剔透，蓦地又想起他说过是被家人赶了出来，想来同病相怜，因此才会如此了解六哥的心思。 易三目光空蒙的望着夜空，声音淡淡的让人闻之却生沉重，“被自己的亲人抛弃，那是一生刻骨铭心的痛。” 风独影回首，仰望天幕，默然无语。 两人一时只是静静躺着，上方有皓月明星，耳际有海风轻吟浪声如歌，气氛安宁静谧。 许久后，易三才再次发问:“你们接下来是遇着哪个兄弟？” “二哥，也是在利城遇上的。”风独影答道，望着明月许久，眼睛有些累了，便闭目休息。“二哥是利城本地人氏，家中世代打猎为生，但那年李承佑攻打利城，马氏父子为筹粮饷再次加重征税，二哥的爹为筹税银便上山猎虎，虎皮可是稀罕物，一张便可抵税银，老虎肉还能够上父子俩一月口粮。只是二哥的爹没猎着虎，反给老虎咬了，半边身子都没了。” “啊！”听到这，易三忍不住惊呼一声。 风独影的声音也有些低沉，“那日我们上山本是听从六哥的安排，去摘金银花，那东西可以卖给药铺，得三两个铜络也能换几个馒头。回来时在山腰上碰上二哥，他正在挖坑，旁上一床破席裹着他爹血淋淋的身子，大哥见着当即扔了金银花上前帮他，后来我们帮二哥埋了他爹。我记得整个过程里二哥都是不言不语的，只是满脸泪水，而最后他在他爹坟前说的那句'老虎吃人是可怕，但再可怕人也能杀了老虎，可人没法杀了税银，所以税银比老虎可怕'我也一直记着。” “先贤云'苛政猛于虎'。”易三声音沉沉的。 “所以我们得了天下后，二哥坚持国库再空亦不许加重百姓赋税。”风独影轻叹一声。 易三点头，“这倒是，比之历朝，本朝的赋税是最轻的。” “埋了二哥的爹后，天已黑了。二哥很郑重的向我们行礼表示感激，然后又请我们到他家住一晚。说实话，在遇到二哥前，还从没人向我们行过礼。二哥虽是猎户之子，但自小禀性端正，是我们兄弟里最为持重沉稳的一个，从来言出必行，行之必果。”风独影的声音再次变得轻松，“我们跟着二哥到了他家，才知他家就父子两个，如今他爹去了，家里也就他一个人了。三哥一摸清情况，当夜就寝时便安排大哥与二哥一屋，他与六哥带着我睡另一屋，当年我没明白三哥的意思，后来才是醒悟过来。大哥与二哥都是亲眼目睹亲人死在身旁，两人又都重情重义，所以彻谈一宵后，第二日清晨起来，两人便与我们说，不要结伙了，要结拜。” “如此你们便义结金兰了？”易三想象着少年时的他们插香叩拜的模样，亦由不得微微一笑。 “嗯。”风独影唇角微微弯起，“我们以前居无定所，总是宿在破庙荒宅残垣断壁间，风吹雨打夏晒冬冻，直到遇上二哥后我们才算有了一处真正的家。尽管那只是两间破旧的茅屋，但二哥的家是我们的第一个家，只是……”她长长一声叹息，“我们那个家很快也没了。” "Oh?" “因为利城被李承佑攻破，又是一番烧杀抢掠，我们为保性命，只好逃离了利城，一路顺着乌云江往南而去，然后……”风独影微微一顿，缓缓睁目，朗月明星尽落眸中，“然后我们在乌云江边遇上了四哥。” 那刻，易三能感觉到风独影清澈微冷的声音有瞬间的柔软，他不由转首侧目，便见她目望夜空，眸光专注，神情柔婉。她的四哥肯定不同于别人，他想。 “那日我们走了一整日路，傍晚时实在走不动了，见路边有几堵破墙，也算能挡风，便决定在那过夜。然后大哥、二哥、三哥去江边看看能否捉到鱼，我与六哥便去捡些柴草，等大哥他们回来时，不但捉了几条小鱼，还带回了一个大活人。” 尽管已是猜着，易三却依旧忍不住问一句:“带回的就是你四哥？” “嗯。”风独影微微颔首，“大哥说是在江里捡到的，他们再晚到一点就得淹死了。后来我三哥一口咬定四哥是跳江的，四哥则死不承认，只说是十足掉落水里。只不过看当时四哥被捡回来的反映，倒是三哥说的比较靠谱。” "Oh?" “因为大哥背回四哥后放他下来，他就一直躺着一动不动，全身都湿淋淋的，我们唤他起来吃烤火，他也不动，和他说话，他也不理，给他吃鱼，他也不接，就像个毫无知觉的木娃娃一样。”风独影叹气道。 易三挑眉，“为何如此？” 风独影摇头，“那晚四哥一直那个样子，后来我们要离开了，大哥、二哥觉得就这样不管他也是于心不忍，两人便轮流背他，如此过了两日，四哥好像忽然醒过神来，然后自己走路，但还是不说话，只是叫走就走，叫吃就吃。三哥有时故意拿话刺他，他也一声不吭的。只不过六哥当时和我们说，四哥身上穿着的衣袍是云锦做的，平常的富人家有钱也买不到的，所以四哥的出身定是显贵之家。” “你六哥那么小眼光就很利呀。”易三笑道。 “后来我们到了嘉城，三哥说不能养个吃白食，便把四哥从上到下收拾得干干净净整整齐齐的，又对他说让你笑时就要笑，然后领着他上街去。到了卖包子的摊前，他就戳戳四哥让他笑，于是四哥就冲着那摊主微笑，结果啊……”风独影说到这也忍不住微笑，“那卖包子的竟送给了四哥两个包子，而得了包子之后，三哥再领着四哥去卖饼的摊前，同样让他冲着摊主笑，于是又得了一张饼……如此下来，那一天他们回来时，我们很难得的吃了一饱餐。” 易三听到这，蓦过转过头去。 风独影看着，于是把那句话换给了他，“别忍了，会肚子痛的。” “哈哈……”于是易三放声大笑，笑声清朗，如笛破长空，“丰四郎容颜绝世，乃是天下第一美人，如此看来，果是名不虚传也！” 风独影看着他，继续幽幽道:“按照你青梅竹马的评价，你也可以一笑换饼的。” 笑声顿时止了。 风将军满意的看着笑容僵在那张俊美如神祗的面孔上。 “咳咳……”易公子清了清喉咙，“咱们继续说故事吧。” 风独影笑，高姿态的点点头，道“直到遇到了玉师后，四哥才开口说话，那时我们才知道四哥的身世。”她微微一顿，收敛神色，抱膝于前，眺望海夜，“当年乱世，天下动荡，但南平、江泉两郡却因苏氏而拥有五十多年的定安日子。苏氏本是前朝大将，前朝覆灭后，苏氏拥有重兵，便自立为王，定国号'永苏'，历有四代，外不与群雄争霸，内政权稳定，是以那一带一直比较安康。” 易三听着也颔首，“苏氏最后是降了你们，南平、江泉一带的百姓得以免受战祸，至今都很感激苏氏。” “不错，苏氏降后，大哥封其'良牧伯'，五世袭爵。”风独影目光悠远。 “你四哥便是出身永苏？”易三问。 风独影点头，“当年四哥的爹在苏氏为官，官居太常丞，其在朝中有一至交好友官居骑郎将，两家毗邻而居亲如一家。但在苏氏正九年初夏，那位骑郎将因'持刀犯上'定谋逆罪，旨满门斩首。四哥的爹认定是冤案，上书为好友求情，不果，反遭贬斥。四哥与那骑郎将家的儿子自小情同兄弟，便悄悄把骑郎将的儿子藏在自己房中，结果……不
