Chapter 25 The twenty-second refusal to return to the Jedi is at the right time

But he said that the bandit held the pistol to the forehead of the family tree, and only heard a slap. It turned out that Li Ergui had seen it from the side, and kicked the pistol aside with a kick.He took a step forward, clinging to his hand and said: "What are you doing, are you crazy?" The man smiled and said: "I have no bullets in my gun, scare him and see how brave he is. Who I can beat the God of Wealth!" Li Erjie said: "There's no need to try his courage. What if you want to frighten him to death? Stop talking nonsense, let's go." So the five gangsters took turns Leaning on the family tree, I walked forward in the dark.Just as Jiashu was in shock, he saw that he was going to take him to another place. He didn't know where he was going, he was flustered, his feet were up and down, so he followed them.After walking for about twenty miles, the east gradually turned white, and high mountains rose in front of us.The family tree was about to separate the four directions in detail, but Hu Gouzi tore off a small piece of skirt, and wrapped his eyes heavily. He supported the bandit and walked another distance. He felt that his feet were step by step towards him. Climb up the mountain.Is it facing the high mountain, but I don't know.After a while, I felt that there was no way under my feet, so I just climbed and led away on the slope. My feet often stepped on gravel and had long thorns hanging on them. Although someone helped me, I kept walking and falling. , It is not the way to go.After walking for a long time, I finally stepped on the stone steps, and heard a few bandits pushing the door.Then there is a very flat stone slab under my feet. Is there such a place on the high mountain, but I don't know what it is?Later, when I walked to the long table and smelled a little stale fragrance, I knew it was a temple.

The bandits let the family tree sit on a haystack, and they were busy, as if they were familiar with the place, but went to prepare firewood and water separately.Later they closed the door of the Buddhist hall, got some dry firewood, and lit a fire in the middle of the hall.The five bandits all sat around the fire, discussing how to survive today and find a place tomorrow.When Jiashu heard that they were going to change places again, it became more and more difficult to find the family members, and he was very anxious.The five gangsters didn't leave that day, so they burned sweet potatoes several times to eat.Li Erjie said: "God of Wealth! It will be just one day, and tomorrow we will find a way to get you something delicious." Jiashu was not polite to them, and reluctantly ate two sweet potatoes; he just panicked all night, and then After running these roads, how can I stand it.Once the firewood is smoked, there is a bit of heating, and people just want to sleep.I fell asleep for a day in a daze, and I don't know when, when I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly felt that my body was pinched, and the person ran a few steps quickly, and then put me down.Only someone shouted: "Hey! Wake up to me, you thieves. The man knows that people don't do secret things." The family tree heard the voice, it was none other than Guan Shoufeng.This joy was no small matter, and he didn't care about the benefits, so he immediately pulled down the cloth that tied his eyes, and saw Xiugu also coming.She and Shoufeng stood together at the entrance of the Buddhist hall. The dried firewood in the hall still had some swaying lingering flames. She saw Li Erjiejun and his accomplices crawling up from the haystack on the ground. Shoufeng shouted: "Stand for me. You move, and the two guns here will fire at the same time." It turned out that Xiugu Shoufeng had a quick gun each, and they both held straight guns, aiming at the five bandits. Sure enough, Li Erjiejun stood upright with his hands down and smiled and said, "Friends! Which road are you from? You have something to say, why bother?" Shoufeng said: "We are not from which road, don't blind your dog's eyes, the people around you I borrowed two quick guns, and you still have a few pistols tied to your waist, hand them over, and I will take them away." When he said that, he raised the gun again, and Li Erjie looked at the situation. Not good, first took out a pistol from his body, threw it to the ground, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, people who travel in the rivers and lakes also have it when they are going with the wind, and they also have it when the boat capsizes." Then two more people put the pistols on the ground. Throwing it on the ground, Shoufeng turned the muzzle of the gun inwards, making them stand on the corner of the room, then jumped to the middle of the room, picked up the pistol, stuck it in the waist belt, and then retreated to the hall At the door, he nodded and said with a smile: "I already know that you don't have any guns on your body, but the other guys can't keep them; I have to wait here." Then, he took out a pistol from his body and took out a handgun. Said to Xiugu: "You take Mr. Fan down the mountain first, these people are handed over to me, there must be nothing wrong." Xiugu took the pistol, squatted down in front of the family tree, and said with a smile: "I don't care much now. , life is important, let me go with your back on my back." Jiashu stretched out both hands and hugged Xiugu's neck when he thought about it, and she put the quick gun under her side, with her hands behind her, supporting Jiashu. The tree's knees jumped and ran, and then walked forward.In the dark night, the family tree passed through some places, and it fell to the ground after a while, Xiugu put the family tree down, because she said: "Wait here for my father, don't get lost." Only then did the family tree feel its life It's yours.Looking up and looking around, the sky was dark and the stars were sparse, the wind blowing in the mid-air, the air-conditioning penetrated into the pores of the sweat, and I couldn't help shivering.Xiu Gu also looked up at the sky.He laughed and said, "Mr. Fan! Are you very cold? Can you wear a ragged coat?" As she spoke, she shrugged, climbed up a tree, and took down a bundle from the tree. , opened it.It was three old sheepskins with bare covers, so I took one and put it on the family tree with the collar.Jiashu said: "How can there be such a thing in this place? Didn't the eldest girl bring it?" Xiu Gu said: "Our father and son each have one, and I will prepare the next one for you. When you go up the mountain, you will tie it to your clothes. This tree." The family tree said: "It's rare that Uncle Guan and Miss are so thoughtful, how can I repay you?" After hearing this, Xiu Gu fell silent, but leaned against the tree trunk and stopped.They stood quietly with each other for a while, only to hear the sound of footsteps, and Shoufeng from afar asked, "Have you arrived yet?" Xiu Gu agreed.Shoufeng held the fast gun upside down, and when he arrived in front of him, Jiashu stepped forward to meet Shoufeng and knelt down.Shoufeng dropped the gun, helped him up with both hands, and said, "Little brother! You are a newcomer, how can you do this kind of old ritual!" Jiashu said: "Uncle, at this age, took such a big risk to save my nephew, My nephew is so grateful, I don't know where to start." Shoufeng laughed and said, "Don't thank me, thank God. How could he give birth to me, a meddlesome person?" The family tree then Asked: "Why did you know this and come to rescue?" Shoufeng said: "Your matter has been published in the newspapers very lively. As soon as I heard about it, I came to visit everywhere. I heard my apprentice Wang Erbald said: Well, in the sweet jujube grove, there were a few customers who came to the country to sell dates and persimmons. They behaved suspiciously. I and my apprentices visited back and forth, and it was really not the right way. I was about to do it last night, and it happened that the army opened fire with them. Huo, I hid behind the army, and I really took a few sweats for you. Later, I heard people in the army yelling that they ran away, so I thought you were out of danger. In the early morning, I pretended to pass by, and saw a ditch in the ditch. There are several traces of people climbing, all facing the northwest. I searched until I reached the main road, and I saw some marks of gun butts. I understood that they went up the mountain here. There is a Xuandi temple on this mountain, which has not been seen for a long time. Monk, I don't think they will come here, where else can they go to hide? Therefore, we father and son, taking advantage of their tiredness yesterday, can help them tonight. They hide on this mountain, and they will never dream of Someone plotted against him, so let me rescue you easily. Otherwise, my father and son have no guns, but only two knives, so it’s really not easy to do this!" After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly. .At this time, there were a few cock crows in the distance, and Guan Shoufeng said: "It's almost dawn, let's go. I'm always here, and follow carefully. These two spears will attract attention when you take them with you. Let's take them away." It's ruined, throw it in a deep well." So he took out the bullet, took the gun upside down, smashed it on the stone, and smashed both guns. Shoufeng sent them to a well beside the road, Throwing it in, he said in his mouth: "Yes! Save it and keep it to harm people." So his father and daughter put on the old sheep fur, and walked to the road with the family tree.

After walking for about two or three miles, the east gradually became brighter.Suddenly, I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and it seemed that several people were chasing after me.Shoufeng stopped to listen, and said to Xiugu, "They are the ones chasing you. You lead Mr. Fan away first, and I will deal with them." Then, seeing a high mound on the side of the road, he took out two pistols and shot them. He squatted down and hid behind the mound.Unexpectedly, the few people who were chasing were not worried, and chased all the way to the front. They saw a mound of dirt in front of them, and seemed to know that someone was hiding behind them, so they stood still and shouted: "Friend! The pistol you took, can't There are no bullets, you throw the fast gun away, we are not afraid of you anymore. We don’t carry guns now, we are heroes, you come out and compare us.” Shoufeng put the pistol to the sky after hearing this, and there was no surprise. Bullets; I wanted to come out, but I was afraid that the bandits would have bullets, so I fell for his tricks, and kept silent to see how they were doing.Only at this moment, a person had already jumped onto the mound and rushed towards him; Shoufeng saw that he was holding a knife in his hand, needless to say, he really didn't have a gun, so he threw the pistol away and said with a smile: "It's just in time " Leaving his body, squatting back and stretching, he grabbed the man's leg, and the man fell to the ground with a slap; Shoufeng kicked away the knife in his hand, then grabbed his hand, He lifted it up, threw it to the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Fuck! Fuck you." The two gangsters were waiting to move forward, and when the person who was thrown bumped into it, the three of them rolled into a ball.In the hazy dawn, Shoufeng saw two people standing behind him without guns, so he was not afraid.He walked up and said with a smile: "You just want to rob people because of your roles, go back, don't come to die!" Someone said: "Old man, what's your last name? You didn't ask about me, Li Erjie, you are not easy to provoke Is it?" Shou Feng said he didn't know, Li Erjie saw him standing upright and dared not go forward.The other bandit raised a stick in his hand, regardless of what happened, he slashed at the head, Shoufeng didn't dodge, he just raised his right hand, the stick hit his arm, and flew straight into the air.The man let out an ouch, swayed his body, and jumped forward. Shoufeng swept his leg, and he rolled on the ground.The first two who were hit on the ground came together at this time, and Shoufeng swung, swiped, pushed, and then rolled down.Standing far away, Li Erjiejie said: "Friend! I stumbled today, and I know you." After speaking, he turned around and left.Shoufeng laughed and said: "I'm going to the city, I don't have time to settle accounts with you, it's cheap for you kid." After finishing speaking, he picked up two pistols, turned around and left.Xiugu and Jiashu came out to meet them at the side of the high slope, and said with a smile: "I heard that they didn't move their guns, so I knew they were not your opponents, so I didn't go forward." After traveling for more than ten miles, I went to a market.There is a long-distance bus to Beijing, and the three of them took the long-distance bus to the city.

When he got off the car in the city, Shoufeng had already made a roll of fur weapons and handed it to Xiugu, telling her to go home, but he personally sent the family tree to Tao Bohe's house.On the way, Jiashu asked, "Uncle used to live in the city of Beijing. Where is he?" There was Fan Duanben, a servant at the door, and when he saw the family tree, he turned around and shouted: "Okay, okay, master nephew is back!" come out.Bo He took a step forward, clinging to his hand and said: "We have sent people to contact Qianqian many times. Why did the people come out without paying the money?" " So he introduced Guan Shoufeng to everyone, went to the living room together, and told the story of being rescued.After all, Fan Duanben is a person who has been deeply involved in the world. Seeing Shoufeng's spirited and imposing manner, he is indeed a heroic figure. He stepped forward, gave him three deep bows, and said with a smile, "I don't repay my kindness with words. Heartfelt, don't talk about lies." Shoufeng said: "Supervisor Fan! You don't know something, my nephew Ling and I are good friends; friends have troubles, do we have something in common? Don't tell lies, That's good." Liu Fu was serving tea at this time, Shoufeng stroked his beard, and smiled at him: "My friend! Your cousin, you don't suffer a lot if you hand it over to me, an old man. Don't look at the people who live in Tianqiao, I have three teachings, I have everything, but there are quite a few who are good enough for friends. It’s okay in the future. Let’s have a conversation, and you will know how to practice the style, and it’s good to be brave.” Liu Fu blushed a lot. , didn't dare to say anything, and retreated.Shoufeng cupped his hands and said: "Goodbye, everyone!" He got up and walked out.The family tree chased after the gate and asked, "Uncle! Where is your house? I can also go to see you." Shoufeng laughed and said, "I forgot, the place where you lived in Daxi Hutong is my home. After finishing speaking, he left with a smile.When Jiashu returned home, he talked about the past again, only to find out that his uncle had come to redeem the ticket, and he had already bid 50,000. The army knew about it, so there was a night battle.When it comes to Guan Shoufeng's father and daughter, everyone appreciates it, and Fan Duanben insisted on exchanging notes with him.This day, Jiashu took a shower and had a haircut, he was busy for a while, and went to bed early.

The next morning, I went to Daxi Hutong to see Shoufeng.Unexpectedly, when the north wind blew in the middle of the night, it was already drifting, and an early snow fell.When I walked up the street, I saw that the snow was a foot deep, and the distance between the north and the south was just white.The snowflakes in the sky are falling tightly, and the white houses and streets are even more covered by the white snowflakes with white nets hanging down, so everything is in the hazy white mist.Jiashu took a car and passed through several streets in the cold white mist, and he didn't realize that it was Daxi Hutong.For some reason, as soon as I entered this alley, I felt a strange feeling; both joy and misery.I used to pull up the collar of my coat to cover my face, but now I put the collar down, and the snowflakes fluttered on my face without feeling cold.Suddenly someone shouted: "Isn't this Uncle Fan?" As he spoke, a man came up from behind the car.When the family tree looked at it, it was Shen Sanxuan.He was wearing a gray cotton gown, one horizontal and one straight, all stained with oil and ink.The small melon skin hat on his head was like a plaster, with a lot of snowflakes on it.He shrank his neck, held up a handful of Sanxian, breathed hot air from both nostrils, and chased after him, holding the car with his hands.Jiashu jumped out of the car, gave the fare, and asked, "Why are you still in this state? What about your home?" Shen Sanxuan squatted down unconsciously, and asked Jiashu for a half leg, with a mournful face Said: "I'm so sorry to see you again! Once Lao Liu dies, we will be finished. Uncle Guan is really righteous. He heard the doctor say that Fengxi's illness should be done with what she wants, whoever is willing, always It's engraved in front of my face to tease, or I will wake up slowly. It just so happens that the original house here is vacant, and he paid the money, so he let us move back." Before he could finish speaking, the family tree asked: "Fengxi What's wrong? How's it going?" Shen Sanxuan said: "She used to cry all day long, and when she saw people in uniform, no matter if they were soldiers, patrolmen, or postmen, they said they were here to shoot her, and she cried even more. Great. I moved to Daxi Alley, but I don’t cry; I always giggle. I don’t know anyone except her mother. The doctor said she doesn’t have much memory. This heavy snow, you can sit at home.” Said , leading the family tree forward, the two small red doors in the white snow are particularly eye-catching, but there are only two locust trees in the wall, only the white trunks left, not as gloomy as the green leaves before.The door was ajar, and Jiashu pushed it, as if his body had been electrocuted, and his whole body became numb.The first thing I saw was the deep snow on the ground; a girl in black cloth trousers and a red short jacket stood in the snow, leaning against a locust tree; her feet were already deeply buried in the snow.She was standing with her back to the door, and she saw a lot of snowflakes sprinkled on her short fluffy hair. There was a big bowl under her feet, which was covered on the snow. There were many snow lumps around the bowl, round and flat, tall Stacked, it looks like silver coins.It is printed on the bottom of the bowl. Some children in Beijing like to print fake foreign money like this in snowy weather.Someone shouted inside: "Son! Come in, Uncle Fan will be here in a while. I'm afraid you'll make trouble, and I dare not pull you. What if it's cold?" When the door slammed, the girl suddenly turned her face away. Here it is Fengxi.His face was as white as paper, and he became thinner again.Shen Sanxuan stepped forward and said: "Girl! Look, Uncle Fan is really here." At this sound, Aunt Shen, Shoufeng, father and daughter all ran out of the room.Xiu Gu held Feng Xi's hand in the snow, led her to the family tree, and asked, "Big sister! Who is this?" Feng Xi tilted her head slightly, staring blankly at the family tree. He smiled and shook his head again; Jiashu saw that her eyes were not at all interested, and in this situation again, he forgot any resentment.Then she asked her, "Don't you recognize me? You just have to think about it carefully." So he took her hand and everyone entered the room together.Jiashu saw that the layout of the room was roughly the same as before, and his big photo was still hanging with a smile, but there were a few cracks in the middle, which seemed to be torn and put together again.In the middle of the room, there is a white coal stove.Feng Xi stretched out a pair of bare hands, warmed them on the fire, turned her head, just looking after the family tree.When I saw it, I always smiled, and Jiashu said again: "You really don't recognize me?" She ran over suddenly, and said with a smile: "You are wronging me with the photo again. But the photo can't speak, let me Let me touch it." So standing in front of the family tree, he first touched the outline of his body, then his hands, and then his face.When Feng Xi touched it, everyone looked at her in a daze, seeing how pitiful she was.Jiashu waited for her to finish touching, and then said: "Do you understand? I am a real person, not a photo. The photo is on the wall, isn't it?" Pointing, Feng Xi looked at the photo, looked at the person, and smiled Put it away, look at the family tree, turn it a little bit, close your eyes, put your hands on your head, think for a while, then open your eyes again and nod: "I...I...remember...remember... , You are uncle, not a dream! Not a dream!" When he said that, his hands trembled, and he even said it was not a dream, not a dream, and then his whole body trembled.After looking at the family tree for four or five minutes, there was a sound of wow, and I was about to cry.Aunt Shen hurried over, supported her and said, "My child! My child! What's wrong with you?" Feng Xi cried, "I don't have the face to see you." As she spoke, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep, even louder. burst into tears.Seeing the situation, Jiashu couldn't say a word, but just sat there blankly.Shoufeng stroked his beard and said: "She may have come to understand. Let her lie down and wake up slowly." Then he took off Fengxi's shoes, let her lie down on the bed with her clothes on, and let everyone go outside to the room come and sit.During this period, Aunt Shen and Shen Sanxuan blindly confessed, Shoufeng blindly forgives, Xiugu often smiles; Jiashu just meditates, but doesn't say a word.Shoufeng knew that Jiashu hadn't eaten, so he took out two yuan and asked Shen Sanxuan to buy some wine and food, and made an appointment to sit around the stove to enjoy the snow.Family Tree didn't refuse, and stayed here.When everyone was sitting outside, Feng Xi cried for a while, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.When everyone finished eating, Feng Xi moaned inside.Aunt Shen went in and out several times because of her. Once she came out, she looked at the face of the family tree; .When Shoufeng talked to him, he would just talk a few words, and if Shoufeng didn't talk, he just sat silently.At this moment, he frowned, took a glass of wine, and sipped it little by little with his lips, as if he heard Feng Xi calling Uncle Fan slightly.Shoufeng said with a smile: "brother! No matter what happens, bear it with your stomach. She has reached this point, do you still care about her? She calls you, you go in and have a look at her." Jiashu said: "then, we all Let's go in and have a look." Aunt Shen hung up the door curtain, and everyone came in.I saw that Feng Xi was covering the lower half of the quilt, revealing her two bright red sleeves.That white and thin face now showed two big blushes on the cheeks; that unkempt hair spread all over the pillow.She saw Family Tree's small face hidden under the disheveled hair, she nodded slightly, raised her hand halfway, made a move, and pointed to the bed.Jiashu understood, took a step forward, and wanted to sit down on the edge of the bed, and when he turned around and saw these people, he sat down on a chair beside Fengxi's bed.Xiugu wrapped one hand and was leaning on the back of the chair.Feng Xi moved her body, stretched out her hand to hold the hand of the family tree, and said, "This is real, this is not a dream." Then, she grinned and said, "Haha! I dreamed of a lot of foreign money, I dreamed of sitting Car, I dreamed of living in a foreign-style building...Ah! He's going to throw me down the stairs, Miss Guan, help me, save me." As she spoke, she supported herself on both hands and wanted to sit up from the bed; but she didn't have enough strength ; He only raised his head, but couldn't hold it up with his hands, so he fell down.Aunt Shen shook her head and said: "She's confused again, she's confused again. Hey! How can this be good? I've been happy for a while." Then she shed tears.Because of Shoufeng's belief in the doctor's advice, Fengxi hoped to turn around step by step. Now, not only did she not recover, but her body felt even weaker. Standing behind her, she stroked her beard and nodded, "This child is pitiful." !" Just now, Feng Xi's hand touched Jia Shu, and it felt extremely hot.Now seeing that everyone feels sorry for her, she just keeps silent, and everyone is silent.I only heard a gust of snoring wind passing by, rustling!The snow fell on the window, and the coal fire in the dark room gradually dimmed, making me feel doubly miserable.In the outside room, the half-baked food and wine are placed by themselves, and no one cares about them.When he looked at Fengxi again, he closed his eyes and kept saying: "This is not a dream, this is not a dream!" Jiashu said: "When I came here, she was fine, and like this, I hurt her Just ask the doctor to come and have a look." Mrs. Shen said: "That's good, it's just the doctor's consultation fee, I heard it's ten yuan..." Jiashu said: "It doesn't matter, I will give it to him naturally." Everyone After discussing for a while, Shen Sanxuan was asked to ask the doctor from the Napu Hospital.Aunt Shen went to clean up the dishes; Guan's father, daughter and Jiashu were watching over the sick.Jiashu sat aside, put his feet on the stove to warm up the fire, and kept poking the black coal balls with fire chopsticks; Shoufeng walked up and down the room with his hands behind his back, nodded and sighed; Xiugu sat sideways On the edge of the bed, he combed Feng Xi's hair, stretched the quilt for her, and pressed her pulse, without making a sound.Because there were four people in the room, they were all silent.Feng Xi fell asleep again.

About an hour later, the car horn rang at the door, and the family tree material was the doctor's arrival, so he came out to welcome him.The doctor who came here was the one who treated Fengxi disease in the past; he came in, looked at the house, looked at the family tree, and asked, "Is this Mrs. Liu's house?" The family tree heard "Mrs. Liu" three The words were extremely harsh, so he said: "This is her natal family." The doctor nodded and followed the family tree into the house.Unexpectedly, the sound of the horn alarmed Feng Xi. She wanted to get up on the bed, but she couldn't get up. She just rolled around and yelled, "The whip hurt me, so why don't you take me to the hospital by car? The soldiers came to drag me again." I'm gone, I'm not going, I'm not going." The Guan father and daughter, because the doctor came in, stepped forward and held her down, and asked the doctor to check the pulse.The doctor gave her an injection, saying it was to relieve her fever and soothe her nerves, so she shook her head and went to the outside room, and asked about the process, seeing that the family tree was dressed differently, guessing it was from General Liu's family, and said: "I used to think that Mrs. Liu's illness was not very serious. Turn her around and get rid of the bad impression slowly. Maybe it will be better. Now her illness has suddenly worsened, and the family may not be easy to take care of her. It is best to send her to a lunatic asylum." As he spoke, he looked around the house again, because he said: "It is government-funded, and there is no need to charge a fee. Please discuss it with the owner of the house. Mental illness cannot be cured with medicine, otherwise, here A family with simple equipment, I'm afraid..." He said, he smiled lightly, the family tree saw that he would not sit down, and of course he was leaving, so he asked, "When will I be sent to the madhouse?" The doctor shook his head and said: "That's hard to say. Maybe it's a lifetime... But she might not be there. Fortunately, if the family doesn't want her inside, they can also pick her up." Doctor go.Aunt Shen wept and said: "I have dragged this child down a lot. If there is a place to recuperate, I will send her there. I only have one body left. Even if I go to help others, it will make my life easier." The family tree looked at Feng. Xi's illness suddenly changed, and he also felt that the family could not support the illness.If the family members don't take good care of her, maybe she will have some accidents, but she is afraid that Mrs. Shen won't agree, so she can't insist on it; now she declares that she will send Fengxi to the asylum, that's very good, so she agrees I would like to subsidize the expenses of the lunatic asylum, and ask the lunatic asylum to pick up Fengxi in a patient car tomorrow.Everyone discussed this matter for a while, and Mrs. Shen had added a new fire to the white stove. She took a square stool and sat far away from the fire. After getting angry, he said with tears: "I will be left with a lonely ghost in the future, this child is alive like..." He quickly picked up his clothes and covered his mouth, his shoulders trembled, and he just choked up.Xiugu said: "Auntie! Don't be sad. Otherwise, you can go to the countryside with us." Shoufeng said: "You are a fool. A piece of meat is left in Beijing, can you throw it away?" All feelings are in my heart, today unless I have to, I always keep my head down and don't speak. At this moment, I suddenly took a step closer, held Shoufeng's hand and said: "Uncle! I have asked several times, but you still refuse to tell me where you live. Now I have A way to have both, I don’t know if you can tolerate it or not?” Shou Feng stroked his beard and said, “We are not short of both, what do we want?” Jiashu was refuted by him, and he was stunned and couldn’t say anything. .Shoufeng held his hand, shook it twice and said, "I understand what you mean. What can we do?" Jiashu peeked at Xiugu, saw her holding a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and let out a little heck , seemed to be drinking very happily, because he said: "In our school, we need to invite a martial arts teacher, but we have never invited him. I want to introduce uncle. Our school is also in the countryside. There are private houses nearby. You can live there, and we There is an elementary and middle school affiliated to the common people, where older girls can study, and when I graduate in the future, I can accompany my uncle to travel abroad." As he spoke, he peeked at Xiu Gu, but Xiu Gu looked at her My father smiled and said, "I'm still studying to be a student. That's good. I'm learning to play drums at the age of eighty." Shoufeng nodded and said, "You mean very well. In two days, the weather will be sunny and warm. You can go to Xishan Huancui Let's discuss it with my family." Unexpectedly, Shoufeng agreed without hesitation, but he was overjoyed in his distress, because he said, "Does uncle live there? This name is really elegant." Shoufeng said: "That's just the original name." Shen Sanxuan went in and out of the room, unable to find a chance to talk to each other, at this moment he interjected: "This place is very good, I've been there too." As he spoke, he didn't Who cares about him.He said again: "Uncle Fan! Are you still studying? You can get a job wherever you want. Isn't your uncle very rich? If you are willing to promote me, or...hehe!...Recommend me someone Let’s enjoy a bowl of rice.” Seeing his appearance, Jiashu couldn’t help feeling annoyed, and when he heard this, he was even more displeased, and suddenly stood up, looked at him and said, “Your relatives are much richer than my uncle. "After saying these two sentences, he sat down and looked at him, but couldn't make a sound.Shoufeng said: "Hey! Brother! Why do you have the same knowledge as him? Sanxuan! Are you still going out?" Shen Sanxuan lowered his head and went out of the room.Aunt Shen was about to say something, but fell silent again.Shoufeng said: "It's snowing heavily! Let's find a place to enjoy the snow and have a drink." Jiashu really couldn't sit still, so he put on his overcoat and got up.When he was about to leave, he heard the sound of singing in Weiwei, but when he listened carefully, it was "...Suddenly, he heard the cry of the lone goose, which made people really ecstatic. Poor slave, my god, my god! Lang is a sentient being." How about..." This is exactly the autumn part of Feng Xi's "Four Seasons Lovesickness".It was sad and melodious, and it was still the same rhyme that I taught her to sing that day, so I felt dumbfounded.Shoufeng said: "What are you thinking?" Jiashu said: "Where is my hat?" Shoufeng said: "Isn't your hat on your head? You are really in a trance." Jiashu touched it, and then Suddenly, I felt a little embarrassed, and immediately followed Shoufeng.

The two found a mutton restaurant outside the Zhonghua Gate, and drank a few cups facing the Qionglouyuyu, Yushu Qionghua in the imperial city.While drinking, Jiashu mentioned the matter of inviting Shoufeng to teach Chinese martial arts. Shoufeng said: "Brother! I agreed to you, but I wronged you; if I didn't agree to you, I buried your kindness. Let me tell you, I It was because of the girl from the Shen family that I only stayed in Daxi Hutong for a few days, you will come to my house in the future and you will understand." Seeing that the old man refused to leave, Jiashu didn't say much.Shoufeng said again: "We all have things on our minds. Boozing can hurt people. It's probably enough. Don't drink any more. You're not in good spirits. Go home and rest. You leave the hospital affairs to me. Tomorrow morning, Great joy at the alley meeting." Jiashu really felt that he couldn't support himself, so he said goodbye and went home.By the next day, the sky was clear; the winter snow in the north is not easy to melt when it falls.After the family tree got up, it was about to go out. Bohe said: "After suffering for more than half a month, let's rest. The city is full of snow, where are you going?" Wait until you are not paying attention, and then come to Daxi Hutong.From afar, he saw a van picking up patients in the hospital, parked in front of Shen's house, and walked into her house.Aunt Shen supported the tree and stood beside the remnant snow, crying tears, but choked up slightly, opened her mouth silently, and couldn't close it.Xiugu ran out with red eye circles, and said softly: "Auntie! She's coming out soon, don't cry." Aunt Shen lifted up her skirt, tried her best to wipe away her tears, and then said: "Master! You came at the right time, and it's not in vain, so you can send her off. Isn't this just sending her into the coffin?" As he spoke, he choked up again.Xiugu wiped her tears and said: "Don't cry, let her get into the car quickly, she will lose her temper later, but it's hard to deal with it." Seeing her like this, Jiashu was also saddened by it, and couldn't move on the side.Shoufeng shouted from inside: "Sister-in-law! Come in and give her a hand." Aunt Shen was in the outside room, wiped her face with a cold towel, and then went inside.Not long after, Shou Feng turned sideways, grabbed Feng Xi with both hands, and walked out all the way.Feng Xi's hair was combed oily, and her face was covered with a little rouge powder, but her body was covered with a purple satin jacket over a cotton robe, under which she wore stockings and a pair of single shoes.Aunt Shen walked side by side and gave her a hand. She smiled and said, "Why don't you change clothes? There are plenty in the box, don't save money!" Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were straight.When I came out of the hospital, I saw the family tree, but stared blankly, and said with a smile, "Let's go!" Let's go to the theater, the car is waiting at the door. After watching for a while, he suddenly pointed his hand in surprise: "He, he, who is he?" Shoufeng was afraid that she would make trouble again, so he caught her and left. He continued: "The show is about to begin." "Feng Xi walked to the gate, suddenly stopped desperately, and shouted: "Don't be busy, don't be busy!What is this underground?Is it flour or silver? Aunt Shen said, "My child!"do not you know?It's snowing. " As soon as she was so delayed, Jiashu stepped forward, Feng Xi smiled and said: "It's snowing in July, that's impossible.I remembered that this was a dream.Dreaming of Uncle Fan, dreaming of white noodles. "As he said, he said to the family tree: "Master!Don't scare me, I didn't tear up the photos..." As he said that, his face changed, and he was about to cry. The guards in the car just waved to Shoufeng, telling them to get in the car quickly. Shoufeng pushed Feng Xi hugged Xi into the carriage, but only Aunt Shen followed, she stretched out a hand and waved outwards. The hospital guard pushed her hand and slammed the door shut. There was a small The glass window, but Feng Xi looked out through the window, her hair was messed up again, and her collar was crooked, but she just smiled at the person who saw her off at the door: "Go to the theater..." The snowflakes rolled on the ground, and the car started gone.

Guan's father and daughter, Shen Sanxuan and Jiashu stood at the door together, all silent.Jiashu looked at the two wide ruts at the door, imprinted on the frozen snow, and sighed. Although he could not lift his head down, Shoufeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother! Go back. See you in Xishan in five days." " When Jiashu looked back at Xiugu, she also nodded and said, "Goodbye." When she said these three words, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was trying to stop the tears, but she couldn't.The family tree nodded, and was about to leave, Shen Sanxuan smiled all over his face, and asked for a greeting to the family tree: "In two days, I will go to the Tao mansion to greet the uncle, okay?" A few banknotes were stuffed into his hands, and he said with a straight face: "We will not know each other from now on." Turning around to Shoufeng, he said: "I will be there in five days." Turning around, he left.At this time, the frozen snow on the ground was already solid, but when pedestrians and horses stepped on it, it became smoother again.The family tree only took two steps, and fell into the snow with a plop.Shoufeng caught up and asked what's wrong?Jiashu stood up, said that the road was slippery, threw himself at the broken snow, copied the collar of his coat with both hands, and walked forward.不知道什么缘故，也不过再走了七八步， 脚一滑，人又向深雪里一滚，秀姑哟了一声，跑上前来，正待弯腰扶他，见他已爬起来，便缩了手。家树站起来，将手扶着头，皱眉头道：“我是头晕吧，怎么连跌两回呢？”这时恰好有两辆人力车过来，秀姑都雇了，对家树笑道：“我送你到家门口吧。”寿峰点点头道：“好！我在这里等你。”家树口里连说不敢当，却也不十分坚拒，二人一同上车，家树车在前，秀姑车在后，路上和秀姑说几句话，她也答应着；后来两辆车，慢慢离远，及至进了自己胡同口时，后面的车子，不曾转过来，竟自去了。家树回得家去，便倒在一张沙发上躺下，也不知心里是爽快，也不知心里是悲惨；只推身子不舒服，就只管睡着。因为樊端本明天一早要回任去，勉强起来，陪着吃了一餐晚饭，便早睡了。

次日，樊端本走了，自己也回学校去，师友们见了，少不得又有一番慰问。及至听说家树是寿峰秀姑救出来的，都说要见一见，最好就请寿峰当国术教师。家树见同学们倒先提议了，正中下怀。到了第五天的日子，坐了一辆汽车，绕着大道直向西山而来。到了碧云寺附近，向乡民一打听，果然有个环翠园，而且园门口有直达的马路。就叫汽车夫，一直开向环翠园。及至汽车停了，家树下车一看，不觉吃了一惊。这里环着山麓，一周短墙，有一个小花园在内，很精致的一幢洋楼，迎面而起。家树一人自言自语道：“不对吧。他们怎么会住在这里？”心里犹豫着，却尽管对那幢洋楼出神，在门左边看看，在门右边又看看。正是进退莫定的时候，忽然看见秀姑由楼下走廊子上跳了下来，一面向前走，一面笑着向家树招手道：“进来啊！怎样望着呢？”家树向来不曾见秀姑有这样活泼的样子，这倒令人吃一惊了，因迎上前去问道：“大叔呢？”秀姑笑道：“他一会儿就来的，请里面坐吧。” 说着，她在前面引路，进了那洋楼下，就引到一个客厅去。 这里面陈设得极华丽，两个相连的客厅，一边是紫檀雕花的家具，配着中国古董，一边却是西洋陈设，和绒面沙发。家树心想，小说上常形容一个豪侠人物家里，如何富等王侯，果然不错。心里想着，只管四面张望，正待去看那面字画上的上款，秀姑却伸手一拦，笑道：“就请在这边坐。”家树哪里见她这样随便的谈笑，更是出于意外了。笑道：“难道这还有什么秘密吗？”秀姑道：“自然是有的。”家树道：“这就是府上吗？”秀姑听到， 不由格格一笑，点头道：“请你等一等，我再告诉你。”这时，有一个听差送茶来，秀姑望了他一望，似乎是打个什么招呼，接上便道：“樊先生！我们上楼去坐坐吧。”家树这时已不知到了什么地方，且自由她摆布，便一路上楼去。到了楼上，却在一个书室里坐着；书室后面，是个圆门，垂着双幅黄幔，这里更雅致了，黄幔里仿佛是个小佛堂，有好些挂的佛像，和供的佛龛。家树正待一探头看去，秀姑嚷了一声客来了。黄幔一动，一个穿灰布旗袍的女子，脸色黄黄的，由里面出来。两人一见，彼此都吃惊向后一缩，原来那女子却是何丽娜。她先笑着点头道：“樊先生好哇！关姑娘只说有个人要介绍我见一见，我不料是您。”家树一时不能答话，只呀了一声，望着秀姑道：“这倒奇了。二位怎么会在此地会面？”秀姑微笑道：“大概樊先生是要认为惊人之笔了，说起来，这还得多谢您在公园里给咱们那一番介绍。 我搬出了城，也住在这里近边，和何小姐成了乡邻。有一天，我走这园子门口，遇到何小姐，我们就来往起来了。她说：'搬到乡下来住，要永不进城了。对人说，可说是出了洋哩。'我们这要算是在外国相会了。”说着，又吟吟微笑，家树听她说毕，恍然大悟。此处是何总长的西山别墅，倒又入了关氏父女的圈套了。对着何丽娜，又不便说什么，只好含糊着道：“恕我来得冒昧了。”何丽娜虽有十二分不满家树，然而满地的雪，人家既然亲自登门，却当极端原谅。因之也不追究他怎样来的，免得他难为情，就很客气的， 让他和秀姑在书房里坐下。笑问道：“什么时候由天津回来的？”家树随答： “也不多久呢。”问：“陶先生好？”答：“他很好。”问：“陶太太好？” 答：“她也好。”问：“前几天这里大雪，北京城里雪也大吗？”家树道： “很大的。”问到这里，何丽娜无甚可问了，便按铃叫听差倒茶。听差将茶送过了，何丽娜才想起一事，向秀姑笑道：“令尊大人呢？”秀姑将窗幔掀起一角，向楼下指道：“那不是？”家树看时，见园墙外，有两匹驴子，一只骆驼，骆驼身上，堆了几件行李，寿峰正赶着牲口到门口呢。家树道：“这是做什么？”秀姑又一指道：“你瞧，那丛树下，一幢小屋，那就是我家了。 这不是离何小姐这里很近吗？可是今天，我们爷儿就辞了那家，要回山东原籍了。”家树道：“不能吧。”只说了这三字，却接不下去。秀姑却不理会， 笑道：“二位！送送我哇。”说了，起身便下楼，何丽娜和家树便一齐下楼， 跟到园门口来。寿峰手上拿了小鞭子，和家树笑着拱了拱手道：“你又是意外之事吧？我们再会了！我们再会了！”何丽娜紧紧握了秀姑的手，低着声道：“关姑娘！到今日，我才能完全知道你，你真不愧……”秀姑连连摇手道：“我早和您说过，不要客气的。”说时，她撒开何丽娜的手，将一匹驴子的缰绳，理了一理。寿峰已是牵一匹驴子在手，家树在寿峰面前站了许久， 才道：“我送您一程，行不行？”寿峰道：“可以的。”秀姑对何丽娜笑着道了一声保重，牵了一匹驴子和那匹骆驼先去。家树随着寿峰也慢慢走上大道，因道：“大叔！我知道你是行踪无定的，谁也留不住，可不知道我们还能会面吗？”寿峰笑道：“人生哪有不再相逢的，你还不明白吗？只可惜我为你尽力，两分只尽了一分罢了。天气冷，别送了。”说着和秀姑各上驴背， 加上一鞭，便得得顺道而去。

秀姑在驴上先回头望了两望，约跑出几十丈路，又带了驴子转来，一直走到家树身边，笑道：“真的，你别送了，仔细中了寒。”说毕，一掉驴头， 飞驰而去。But there was one thing that was taken out of her arms and thrown at the foot of the family tree.家树连忙捡起看时，是个纸包，打开纸包，有一缕乌而且细的头发，又是一张秀姑自己的半身相片，正面无字，翻过反面一看，却有两行字道：“何小姐说：你不赞成后半截的十三妹，您的良心好，眼光也好，留此作个纪念吧。”家树念了两遍，猛然省悟，抬起头来，她父女已踪影全无了。对着那斜阳偏照的大路， 不觉洒下几点泪来。这时身后有人道：“这爷儿俩真好，我也舍不得啊！” 家树回头看时，却是何丽娜追来了，她笑道：“樊先生！能不能到我们那里去坐坐呢？”家树连忙将纸包向身上一塞，说道：“我要先到西山饭店去开个房间，回头再来畅谈吧。”何丽娜道：“那么，你今天不回城了，在我舍下吃晚饭好吗？”家树不便不答应，便说准到。于是别了何丽娜，步行到西山饭店，开了一个窗子向外的楼房，一人坐在窗下，看看相片，又看看大路， 又看看那一缕青丝，只管想着：这种人的行为真猜不透，究竟是有情是无情呢？照相片上的题字说，当然她是个独身主义者；照这一缕头发说，旧式的女子，岂肯轻易送人的；她就未曾剪发，何等宝贵头发，用这个送我，交情之深，更不必说了。可是她一拉我和风喜复合，二拉我和丽娜相会，又决不是自谋的人。越想越猜不出个道理来，只管呆坐着，到了天色昏黑，何丽娜派听差带了一乘山轿来，说是汽车夫让他休息去了，请你坐轿子去吃饭。家树也是盛意难却，便放下东西，到何家别墅来。那楼下客厅，这时点了一盏小汽油灯，已是照得如白昼一般。刚一进门，脱下大衣，何丽娜便迎上前来， 代听差接着大衣和帽子；一见帽子上有许多雪花，便道：“又下雪了吗？这是我大意了，这里的轿子，是个名目，其实是两根杠子，抬一把椅子罢了。 让你吹一身雪，受着寒，该让汽车接你才好。”家树笑道：“没关系，没关系。”说着搓了搓手，便靠近炉子坐着。炉子里轰轰的响，火势正旺，一室暖气如春；客厅里桌上茶几上，摆了许多晚菊和早梅的盆景，另外还有秋海棠和千样莲之属，正自欣欣向荣。家树只管看着花，先坐了看，转身又站起来看。何丽娜道：“这花有什么好看的吗？”便也走过来，家树见她脸上已薄施脂粉，不是初见那样黄黄的了。因道：“屋外下雪，屋里有鲜花，我很佩服北京花儿匠技巧。”何丽娜见他说着，目光仍是在花上，自己也觉得羞答答的，便道：“请你喝杯热茶，就吃饭吧。”说着，亲自端了一杯热茶给他。家树刚一接茶杯，便有一阵玫瑰花香，正是新彻的玫瑰茶呢。家树喝着茶，何丽娜便同着一个女仆，在一张圆桌上，相对陈设两副筷碟。接着送上菜来，只是四碗四碟，都是素的，一边放下一碗白饭，也没有酒；最特别的， 两个银烛台，点着一双大红洋蜡烛，放在上方，何丽娜笑道：“乡居就是一样不好，没有电灯。”家树倒也没注意她的解释，便将拿在手上出神的茶杯放了，和她对面坐下吃饭。何丽娜将筷子拨了一拨碗里菜，笑道：“对不住， 全是素菜。不过都是我亲手做的。”家树道：“那真不敢当了。”何丽娜等他吃了几样菜，便问口味怎样？家树说好。何丽娜道：“蔬菜吃惯了，那是很好的。我一到西山来，就吃素了。”说着，望了家树，看他怎样问话。他不问，却赞成道：“吃素我也赞成，那是很卫生的呀。”何丽娜见他并不问所以然，也只得算了。一直等饭吃完了，女仆来送手巾，收碗筷，收拾已毕， 桌上就剩两支红烛；何丽娜和家树对面在沙发上坐下，各端了一杯热气腾腾的玫瑰茶，慢慢呷着。何丽娜望了茶几上的一盆红梅，问道：“你以为我吃素是为了卫生吗？你都不知道，别人更不知道了。”家树停了一停，才哦了一声道：“是了。密斯何现在学佛了。一个在黄金时代的青年，为什么这样消极呢？”何丽娜抿嘴一笑，放下了茶杯，因走到屋旁话匣子边，开了匣子， 一面在一个橱屉里取出话片来放上，一面笑道：“为什么呢？你难道一点不明白吗？”她并不曾注意是什么片子，一唱起来，却是一段《黛玉悲秋》的大鼓书。家树一听到“那清清冷冷的潇湘院，一阵阵的西风吹动了绿纱窗。” 不觉手上的茶杯子向下一落，啊呀了一声。所幸落在地毯上，没有打碎，只泼出去了一杯热茶。何丽娜将话匣子停住，连问怎么了？家树从从容容捡起茶杯来，笑道：“我怕这凄凉的调子。”何丽娜笑道：“那么，我换一段你爱听的吧。”说着，换了一张片子了。那片子有大段道口，有一句是：“你们就对着这红烛磕三个头。”这正是《能仁寺》十三妹的一段，家树记起那晚听戏的事，不觉一笑道：“密斯何！你好记心。”何丽娜开了话匣子站到家树面前，笑道：“你的记心也不坏……”只这一句，拍的一声窗户大开， 却有一束鲜花，由外面抛了进来。家树走上前，捡起来一看，花上有一个小红绸条，上面写了一行字道：“关秀姑鞠躬敬贺！”连忙向窗外看时，大雪初停，月亮照在积雪上，白茫茫一片乾坤，皓洁无痕，哪里有什么人影。家树忽然心里一动，觉得万分对秀姑不住，不觉悲从中来，猛然的坠下几点泪来。何丽娜因窗子开了，吹进一丝寒风，将烛光吹得闪了两闪，连忙将窗子关了，随手接过这一束花来。家树手上却抽下了一枝白色的菊花拿着，兀自背着烛光，向窗子立着。何丽娜将花上的绸条看了一看，笑道：“你瞧，关家大姑娘，给我们开这大的玩笑。”家树依然背立着，并不言语。何丽娜道： “她这样来去如飞的人，哪里会让你看到？你还呆望了作什么！”家树道： “眼睛里面，吹了两粒沙子进去了。”说着，用手绢擦了眼睛，回转头来。何丽娜一想，到处都让雪盖着，哪里来的沙子？笑道：“眼睛和爱情一样， 里面杂不得一粒沙子的，你说是不是？”说着眉毛一扬，两个酒窝儿一漩， 望了家树。

家树呆呆的站着，左手拿了那枝菊花，右手用大拇指食指，只管抡那花干儿。半晌，微微的笑了一笑。正是……毕竟人间色相空，伯劳燕子各西东。 可怜无限难言隐，只在拈花一笑中。然而何丽娜哪里会知道这一笑命意的曲折，就一伸手，将紫色的窗幔，掩了玻璃窗，免得家树再向外看。那屋里的灯光，将一双人影，便照着印在紫幔上。窗外天上那一轮寒月，冷清清的， 孤单单的，在这样冰天雪地中，照到这样春气荡漾的屋子，有这风光旖旎的双影，也未免含着羡慕的微笑哩。
