Chapter 14 The Fourteenth Chapter Thieves Have Tried Several Tries

Li Sinan's heart skipped a beat, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "It's a friend who went on the same road as me. She is also a Han Chinese, living in a foreign country, lonely and helpless. Unfortunately, she encountered war disasters and wanted to return to her hometown. Yes. I walked with her together and did my duty of protection, but I was lost in the chaos yesterday. What happened to her? Can you tell me?" Li Sinan was afraid that Shi Pu might be worried and refused to reveal the truth, so he kept it a secret After his relationship with Yang Wan's fiancée.However, it is also true that he described Yang Wan as a "difficult friend" who depended on him for life.

Shi Pu said: "It happened before the storm came. Captives are separated into men and women. Among the female captives, there is a woman in red who seems to be the girl you mentioned." Li Sinan said: "That's right. She was wearing a light red dress yesterday, so she was taken prisoner. What happened to her?" Shi Pu said: "Don't be sad, I'm afraid she, she won't be able to go home." Li Sinan grabbed Shi Pu and shouted: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Li Sinan knew something was wrong, but he still didn't dare to say the word "dead".

Shi Pu sighed, and said, "A Tartar officer saw her beautiful, so he went to tease her. This girl is so hot, she took out a dagger, and stabbed the Tartar to death in one fell swoop. .Afterwards, the Tartars came running one after another, and the girl drew out the dagger and stabbed herself in the heart. She, she committed suicide!" Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Li Sinan's head seemed to explode with a "boom".He was dumbfounded, like he was in a mad state, his eyes were wide open, but no tears flowed out. Shi Pu was shocked and said, "Brother Li, wake up!"

After a while, Li Sinan burst into tears and cried, "Sister Wan, you died so badly! How can I still be the only child after you die?" Seeing Li Sinan's state of mind, Shi Pu knew that Li Sinan and this girl were definitely not ordinary "friends in distress", so he comforted him and said: "The male and female captives are separated, and the distance is very far. Maybe I can't see clearly, it may not be you. That girl." Li Sinan wiped his tears and said: "You don't need to comfort me. This woman is wearing red clothes, and she is so fierce, is it her or who?"

Shi Pu said: "It's common for a girl to wear red clothes. She may not be the only one who wears red clothes. Also, after the woman stabbed her heart, the storm came immediately. We male prisoners witnessed this tragic event , everyone was very angry, taking advantage of the storm, our riot broke out. We don’t know if the woman is dead or not. If the stabbing is not deep, maybe she can survive.” Li Sinan couldn't help weeping again, gritted his teeth, and said: "It's still in the hands of the Tartars to be alive, with her strong temperament, she will always die!" Shi Pu held Li Sinan's hand tightly, and said, "Brother Li, there are two sentences I don't know if I should say or not?"

Li Sinan said: "You and I are on the same path. We hit it off right away, so it's okay to speak up if you have something to say!" Shi Pu said: "Brother Li, please take a longer view, don't just see the misfortune suffered by your relatives!" These two sentences were like a slap in the face, Li Sinan was shocked and said: "You are right, I was wrong!" Shi Pu went on to say: "During this war, many innocent people died. If the woman in red who died heroically was really that girl of Brother Li, Brother Li should have the courage to live on, in order to give She took revenge, and she also wanted to avenge countless innocent people who died!"

Li Sinan blushed and said, "Thank you Brother Shi for your kind words!" Wiping away his tears, he raised his head, only to see that it was already dawn. Shi Pu said: "I should go now. Thank you Brother Li for telling me about my junior sisters. I want to look for them in Butterfly Valley. Brother Li, what is your plan? If you are not in a hurry to go home, how about we go together?" Li Sinan said: "The Mongolian cavalry come and go like the wind. At this time, they must be marching towards the capital of Xixia. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak across the border. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to pass the border when they return to the army to attack gold."

Shi Pu knew that Li Sinan was a "fugitive" from Mongolia, and hearing what he said was reasonable, he said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. We will meet later." Li Sinan said: "I'm afraid your blood-stained clothes will attract attention. If you don't mind, please put this jacket on me." Not stained with dust, quite new and clean.There was not much difference in their statures, and Shi Pu took off the prisoner's "living uniform" and put on this jacket, which fit just right. Li Sinan said: "I don't know if the Mongolian army is over yet, Brother Shi, you are going to the interior, so be extra careful."

Shi Pu said: "Thank you brother Li for reminding me, I will be careful. I'm leaving, do you have anything to say to my junior sister?" Shi Pu said because Li Sinan was still with his junior sister yesterday, so there is This question. Li Sinan thought for a while, and said for a while: "It's nothing, just please send my regards to Junior Sister Ling and Nv Xia Meng, and tell them that I have gone back." After Shi Pu left, Li Sinan picked up earth for incense and prayed silently, "Sister Wan, I swear to you, whether you live or die, I will never marry again in this life! If you die unfortunately, I must kill a few more Tartar, I will avenge you!" After praying, he unconsciously sighed and said to himself, "How can I still imagine that she is alive in the world, of course she is dead."

Li Sinan did not make this oath for nothing. Yang Wan was most worried about him and Meng Mingxia when she was alive, and of course Li Sinan was not ignorant of this. The reason why he was unwilling to go back to Butterfly Valley with Shi Pu to meet Meng Mingxia was for this reason.If Yang Wan was alive, he could still maintain friendship with Meng Mingxia; once Yang Wan died, he felt guilty, but he didn't want to see Meng Mingxia again.Is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to control your emotions?Or are you afraid of touching your own wounds?he does not know.He didn't think about it either.This is a secret hidden deep in his heart, and even he himself dare not reveal it.Now he has made this decision only because he thinks that he "should" do so, so that he is "worthy" of Yang Wan.

But whether Yang Wan is dead or alive is still a mystery. Shi Pu only said that Yang Wan pierced his heart with a dagger, and he didn't know what happened afterwards.He did not witness Yang Wan's death with his own eyes. Emotionally, Li Sinan hoped that Yang Wan did not commit suicide and was still alive.But judging from the situation at the time, reason told him that Yang Wan's hope of surviving was extremely slim, it could be said that it was absolutely impossible!Li Sinan had no choice but to look at the war-torn homeland with a wounded heart, and embarked on a journey full of thorns and thorns alone. Li Sinan thought that Yang Wan was bound to die, but unexpectedly things often happened unexpectedly, Yang Wan was not dead, she was still alive! That's right, the girl in red that Shi Pu saw was indeed Yang Wan. When the group of Mongolian soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed towards her, Yang Wan really had the feeling of "death rather than humiliation". Suicide with a dagger. Just when the tip of the knife cut through her clothes, and her skin could already feel the cold tip of the knife, suddenly her wrist seemed to be stung by an ant, and the tip of the knife slid aside.Yang Wan was taken aback, and the dagger fell to the ground. It was at this critical moment that the wind suddenly rose and the sky was covered by yellow sand.Only a few heart-piercing cries were heard, and a few tartars who were about to pounce on her suddenly fell down! In an instant, the sound of killing shook the ground, and the horses galloped in the desert of the yellow desert, and the swords and guns were dazzling!With the storm came a riot of captives, causing great confusion. Yang Wan took advantage of this chaotic opportunity to run away quickly. Her abilities were not weak, and her lightness kung fu was even better. She killed a few pursuers in the chaotic situation and escaped. It was difficult to distinguish friend from foe in the dark, so she didn't dare to run to crowded places and ran to the wilderness.At this time, the gust of wind has gradually calmed down. Yang Wan looked around, and thought to herself: "What's wrong with Brother Nan? I don't know the way, what should I do?" Walking carelessly, I'm afraid I might run into Mongolian soldiers, but this wilderness is not a safe place. Yang Wan was hesitating, when suddenly she saw a person running towards her, running like a whirlwind, this lightness kung fu is by no means inferior to her. Yang Wan was taken aback, and only thought that the pursuers had arrived.Her sword was confiscated when she was captured, and a dagger was lost from her closet.If the comer is a strong enemy, she is unarmed, but it is difficult to resist. Yang Wan was in a hurry when the man had already arrived in front of her.To Yang Wan's surprise, the one who came was a slender and beautiful young man who didn't look like a bad guy.What's even more strange is that Yang Wan knew that she had never met this person before, but she felt "deja vu". This beautiful young man was also very gentle and courteous. When he came to Yang Wan, he bowed respectfully and said, "Excuse me for taking the liberty, but I have always been worried. I am afraid that the girl will not escape the danger. Miss, are you alright?" Yang Wan was very surprised, and said, "Who are you?" The young man said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Du, Mu Tu Du, and the single name is Xiong, which is Xiong for a hero. But I can only do a few tricks, and I am far from being a hero." Yang Wan said: "How do you know that I was in danger?" Du Xiong didn't answer this question directly, but took out a blood-stained dagger, handed it to Yang Wan, and said, "This is the girl's thing, right? The girl fights against the bandits, Xiao Ke admires it very much." Yang Wan suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, you are the one who saved me just now." She quickly thanked Du Xiong. Du Xiong said: "I was also in the captive team just now. Fortunately, the storm happened so coincidentally that I was able to get away with it. We are all suffering people, and helping each other in adversity is a matter of course. Girl, you don't have to be polite. Well, I still I didn't ask the girl's name, would you tell me?" Yang Wan said her name, Du Xiong asked: "Miss Yang, where are you going?" Hearing his words, Yang Wan seemed to want to invite her to go with her, she thought in her heart: "This man is a chivalrous man, he saved my life, so I tell him the truth, it doesn't matter." At that moment, Yang Wan bowed her arms and said, "Thank you benefactor for saving me. We are a husband and wife and we are going back to our hometown." Trust Du Xiong is not a bad guy. Du Xiong was stunned for a moment, as if slightly surprised, but then he looked as usual, and asked in a sympathetic tone: "Oh, it turns out that your husband and wife were scattered by the rebels, which is really unfortunate. But your ability is so good , Your husband must be a famous figure in the martial arts, and you can probably escape, but I don't know who your husband is?" Yang Wan said: "My husband's name is Li Sinan. He is twenty-three years old this year. He was wearing a gray old sheepskin jacket when he was separated. I wonder if you have ever looked for him?" Then he described Li Sinan's appearance in detail. After hearing this, Du Xiong lowered his head and sighed: "Sister-in-law Li, so that person is your husband, alas - don't be sad when you hear that!" Yang Wan was pleasantly surprised, and quickly asked, "Did you see him? What happened to him?" Du Xiong said: "He just came out of the chaos with me. A Mongolian general is very powerful. For some reason, he seems to know your husband, and he chased him very closely. He, he gave that general a The arrow is dead!" Yang Wan also saw Jebe's commander-in-chief flag in the rebellious army, and now the Mongolian general that Du Xiong mentioned, although he didn't name him, Yang Wan knew that it must be Jebe.Yang Wan had seen Jebe's arrow before, and Du Xiong said that Li Sinan died under Jebe's arrow, how could Yang Wan not believe it. At this moment, Yang Wan only felt that the earth was spinning and the sky was spinning, and people were like candles in the wind, crumbling. In the near coma state, Yang Wan felt a pair of powerful arms hug her, Yang Wan was startled, and pushed the man away without thinking, opened her eyes and saw Du Xiong standing beside her with a flushed face , Nene said: "I'm afraid you'll faint, Mrs. Li, you can't be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad." Yang Wan came from a famous family and always paid attention to etiquette. She thought to herself: "Although this man is kind, I can't ask a strange man to serve me. I must hold on and not pass out!" Fortunately, Yang Wan had this concern, so she didn't faint fall. Yang Wan held back her tears and said, "Thank you for telling me the news. I can't repay your kindness, so go!" Du Xiong saw that she looked like a pear blossom with rain, and her appearance was more beautiful and lovable, so he couldn't help being moved, and thought to himself: "Where can I find such a beauty? What's more, she is a lady from a famous family, with both talents and looks! Although she is remarried Wife, if I get her to be my wife, I will not waste my life. But sooner or later, I can’t be too hasty. I want her to marry me willingly, so that I can have fun.” Du Xiong's ability is superior to Yang Wan's, if he wants to use force, Yang Wan's palm just now can't push him away.It was only because he first knew about Yang Wan's family background, and secondly, seeing Yang Wan's awe-inspiring and inviolable air, he couldn't help but feel timid. He admired and respected Yang Wan at the same time, so he changed his mind and decided to use water. His hard work made Yang Wan submit. Du Xiong made up his mind, pretended to be very concerned and said, "Where are you going, Mrs. Li?" Yang Wan said: "You don't have to worry about me, I have my own place." As she spoke, tears fell down again. Du Xiong said: "Sister-in-law Li, you can't be confused. It's easy to die, but who will take care of your husband's unfinished business? For example, if you still have Weng Gu, no one else can take care of you. Life is harder than death , you are a heroine among women, if you don’t think about it, it’s easy to escape!” These words were very sincere, and they just hit Yang Wan's mind.It turned out that Yang Wan really wanted to die for her husband. After hearing Du Xiong's words, she couldn't help waking up and thought: "Yes, my mother-in-law is still here. I was born as a member of the Li family and died as a ghost of the Li family. I just want to die." , I should also see my mother-in-law, and I will not die until her old man dies. And Brother Li’s great revenge has not been avenged, how can I commit suicide?" Thinking to this point, Yang Wan resolutely said: "Don't worry, I won't die!" Du Xiong said: "The army is in a panic now. It takes a long distance to go to the Central Plains. Although my sister-in-law is a woman, it is always inconvenient to travel such a long distance alone. I also want to go back to the Central Plains. Why don't you and I go together and take care of each other? , okay?" Yang Wan thought to herself: "This man seems to be an upright gentleman, but it is always inconvenient for a lonely man and a widow to travel thousands of miles." Then she thought again: "But I have to have someone to lead the way. If I don't rely on him, who will I rely on?" Yang Wan was hesitant, but Du Xiong seemed to have guessed her intentions, and said: "In troubled times, it's better to follow the rules than obey the rules. Children of the world, it seems that you don't need to be too rigid about avoiding the suspicion of men and women. It's just that we are open and aboveboard, so why not walk together Sister-in-law, you can treat me as a relative. If there is someone on the road, we can recognize it as—” Yang Wan had a thought, and said, "Yes, we can be brothers and sisters. You saved my life, and I have nothing to repay you. I can only respect you as a big brother and do my best." Du Xiong laughed, and said: "I have exactly this intention, and it's rare that you have the same thoughts. Then it's hard to forgive my arrogance, and I want to call you a sister." But he thought in his heart: "Now I call you a sister, and there will always be someone in the future." One day I will call you my wife." The two have been together ever since.In the first few days, Yang Wan was still wary, but seeing Du Xiong's manners and self-control, she was gradually relieved. Du Xiong seemed to be very familiar with geography, and led Yang Wan to travel at night and day, and only walked on mountain roads, but he did not encounter any rebels.When sleeping in the wild forest, Du Xiong always went far away to watch over her.Yang Wan didn't dare to sleep soundly at first, but after seeing him like this several times, she felt sorry for her and offered to take shift guards with him, and she relaxed a lot of guard against him. Yang Wan secretly rejoiced that it was rare to meet such a polite gentleman, but she didn't know that this was Du Xiong's method to win her heart. After a few days, the two gradually became acquainted, Du Xiong asked her about her experience in Mongolia, Yang Wan felt that she had told him everything she could tell him.However, although Yang Wan didn't "only talk about three points", she didn't "throw everything in her mind". She didn't think she should say a word.For example, the death of Tu Baicheng, Tu Feng invited Meng Mingxia to find and kill her father and enemy, etc., because it was someone else's business, so she never told Du Xiong. Du Xiong's life experience was only vaguely revealed to her, Yang Wan only knew that he was from a martial arts family, his father was dead, his mother was recuperating at home, and he had only one younger sister.Du Xiong didn't say much about other things, and Yang Wan was not a nosy person, so she didn't ask him. Only one day, when Yang Wan talked about her brother's tragic death, Du Xiong sighed and said, "Although I have a sister, having a sister is like having nothing, and we are all the same." Only then did Yang Wan know that their brother and sister had long since broken up.But Du Xiong only said that one sentence, but did not talk about the reason for the discord.Yang Wan thought it must be his sister's fault, afraid of causing Du Xiong's sadness, she avoided mentioning his sister ever since. The journey was uneventful, and they left the border of Xixia on this day, and came to a small town where the flames of war had not yet been affected. Yang Wan was full of joy, and said, "Okay, I finally returned to the place where the Han people live. I don't know if there is a clothing store in this town. I want to buy some replacement clothes." Du Xiong smiled and said: "Yes, I have really wronged you for the past ten days. Sleeping in the wild and barren hills, covered in dust, covered up your natural beauty. I said you should also buy a mirror and a comb. Let's find another inn to stay in, and you can freshen up and sleep well tonight." Yang Wan has a clean nature, and told Du Xiong exactly what was on her mind. Although she felt a bit harsh to him when she said something that was not solemn, she didn't take it to heart.She and Du Xiong have already changed from strangers to acquaintances, and only said that Du Xiong was in a relaxed mood because he was out of danger, so he joked with her. Yang Wan smiled and said: "The comb and mirror are not important, I still want to buy a sword or a long knife." Her saber was already handed over when she was captured, and now only a dagger is left. Fighting against the enemy can't help anything. Du Xiong said: "I also want to buy two horses for your transportation. Let's look for them." Although this town is small in scale, there are many people who have come here for asylum. The shops of the locals and the stalls set up by the refugees are quite lively. Yang Wan found an old clothes shop opened by two mothers and daughters. She was very happy and thought: "The shop is full of women, so it's okay for me to try on clothes in it." So she said, "Brother, don't you want to buy a horse?" ? You can see that there are more than a dozen people on the opposite side leading mules and horses. It seems that they are going to sell. Go and have a look, and walk around the market by the way to see if anyone sells swords. " Du Xiongxin said: "This little girl is obedient to me now, I forgive her for not running away behind my back. Even if she wants to escape, she can't escape from my palm. I'd like to take this opportunity to inquire about some inconveniences for her. I know the news." Said: "Okay, I'll look for it for you. You take the few taels of silver. If you don't have enough, you can find me again." The female owner of the old clothes shop smiled and said: "It's not brand new. Silk and satin clothes, with this much silver, is enough." Originally, Yang Wan still had a few hidden golden beans; she wanted to wait for Du Xiong's silver, but after thinking about it, gold is not easy to show, and she and Du Xiong are brothers and sisters, so they can't show their flaws.So I had no choice but to go on and say: "Thank you." The female boss smiled and said: "You brothers and sisters are really polite, come in." Although the store only sells old clothes, it has a complete range of goods, including some high-quality clothes consigned by refugees from wealthy families.Yang Wan chose a few clothes with light colors and good textures, tried to fit them well, paid the money and happily went out to find Du Xiong. There was a man in front of the second-hand clothes shop, wearing a bamboo hat, which was pressed down so low that it covered half of his face.When Yang Wan came out, she suddenly heard him softly "噫". Yang Wan didn't pay attention at first, and after walking for a while, she suddenly found this person following behind.Yang Wan turned into an alley and walked out, but he still followed behind. Yang Wan was angry, she stopped suddenly, the man almost bumped into her, and stopped quickly.Yang Wan said coldly: "What are you doing, why do you always follow me?" The man faced Yang Wan head-on, saw Yang Wan's face more clearly, and thought to himself: "There is no one in the world who looks the same, this must be her, eh, I saw her commit suicide that day, she It's not dead yet!" Seeing that he fixed his eyes on her, Yang Wan felt even more uncomfortable, and said: "What on earth are you doing? Are you dumb?" She thought: "If this person can't answer the question, then he is deliberately molesting me. I Even if his tricks are not abandoned, he must be punished lightly." The man looked away and looked at the surrounding environment. Where they were, the market was opposite, and there were people coming and going beside them.The man thought to himself: "We must find a way to lead her to a secluded place to talk." Yang Wan was about to lose her temper when the man said respectfully, "I'm a refugee, I don't have money to spend, and I have a good knife that I want to sell to the owner. Miss, do you want it?" Yang Wan was about to buy a sword and use it, when she heard that he was going to sell a sword, she said, "Where is the sword, show me it." The man untied a saber from his jacket and handed it to Yang Wan. Yang Wan pulled out the sheath and looked at it. She saw the cold light shining like a pool of autumn water. She couldn't help praising: "It's a precious saber!" Ren Pai smiled and said, "It's not true that a treasured sword is much stronger than an ordinary sword." Yang Wan felt suspicious, and said, "How did you know I wanted to buy a knife?" You must know that although it is not uncommon for women to buy knives, it is rare after all.Yang Wan thought to herself: "When I was talking to Du Xiong just now, there seemed to be no such person around. Could it be that he hid in some corner and heard it? But why didn't he come out on the spot?" The man said: "The girl escaped from Xixia, right? Do you have any companions?" Yang Wan said: "What does this have to do with you?" The man said: "If a girl can escape from the panic, she must have practiced a little martial arts. So I guess the girl might buy a knife for self-defense." Although this reason was thought up by this person temporarily, it can still be justified.Yang Wan stopped refusing him and said, "You still have a saber, can you show me it too?" The man said: "I want to keep this saber for my own use, so I can only sell this saber." Although Yang Wan was suspicious, she really wanted this precious sword, thinking: "Whatever he does, as long as he sells it to me." So she asked, "How much money do you want?" The man replied: "I only want to sell to the master. If I don't know the master, I won't sell it for a thousand pieces of gold. If I know the master, I will reward you with a few taels of silver, which is enough for my travel expenses to Zhongzhou. However, I have a few words to ask the girl." , can you talk to me at that tea shop?" Yang Wan asked in surprise: "What do you have to say, can't you say it here?" The man said: "This is not a place to talk." Yang Wan was puzzled, and thought to herself: "This man is a bit weird. I have never met him before, but what does he want to say to me? Could it be that he wants to abduct me in the name of selling knives?" , Unknowingly smiled secretly: "If he has malicious intentions, I will punish him. Hmph, am I still afraid that he will fail in abduction!" Yang Wan became curious, and was about to go with this person, she glanced, and suddenly saw Du Xiong's back, squeezed in a crowd of people.Yang Wan shouted: "Brother, come quickly, help me to see this precious sword." Du Xiong squeezed out of the crowd, ran over in a hurry, and said, "Where did you get the precious sword?" Yang Wan said: "This elder brother sold it to me. He doesn't negotiate the price with me. It's not good to give less. How much should you give?" Du Xiong opened his eyes wide and said: "Where is the person?" Yang Wan was startled, when she looked back, how could anyone be behind her?The man who sold the knife didn't know when he ran away. Yang Wan was greatly surprised, and said: "This man is really the strangest, he doesn't want a knife, he doesn't want money, he just ran away!" Du Xiong looked at the treasured sword, and said "Hey" with a look of surprise on his face. Yang Wan said: "Brother, what did you see?" Du Xiong was stunned for a while, then he settled down and said: "It's nothing. This knife was made by a famous knife shop in Luoyang, and it's a precious knife. That person must be from the Central Plains?" Yang Wan said: "That's right, he looks like a Han Chinese." Du Xiong said: "What did he tell you?" Yang Wan said: "He seems to have something to tell me, he invited me to talk at the tea shop over there, just as I was about to go, you came here." Du Xiong said: "What does that person look like?" After Yang Wan said it, Du Xiong said: "I've taken a fancy to two horses and I'm about to call you over. Well, did you see it? It's at the east corner of the mules and horses market. The old man with the gray beard has a green mule and a bay red horse. Go and see if you like it? If you like it, you can buy it. You wait for me there, and I will look for that person " After finishing speaking, he handed over two large ingots of ingots to Yang Wan, and left in a hurry. Yang Wan felt a little suspicious: "Why doesn't Du Xiong want me to look for it together?" But because she already trusted Du Xiong quite, she thought about it: "Yes. He must be worried about my status as a widow, so it's inconvenient to find someone everywhere. A strange man. He may be afraid to buy the two horses that he has taken a fancy to." Yang Wan went to the mules and horses market and looked at the mules and horses, they were indeed very good.After asking, I found out that Du Xiong had agreed on the price, which happened to be two big ingots.Yang Wan bought it. After waiting for about half an hour, Du Xiong came back.Yang Wan asked: "How is it? Did you see it?" Du Xiong shook his head and said, "That man is really weird, where did he go?" Yang Wan was puzzled, and said, "I don't know what way this man is? I have taken his precious sword and haven't paid yet." Du Xiong said with a smile: "I don't care about him. If he doesn't come to beg for it, you will be happy to take advantage of him. Let's go find an inn." This frontier town is very desolate in Japan.It is now a time of war, and many refugees have been added, but it has suddenly become prosperous.There are quite a few newly opened restaurants, tea shops and inns, but the supply is still in short supply.They found several inns, all of which were full. Finally, he found the largest inn, and Du Xiong declared that he was willing to pay double the rent.The owner of the shop narrowed his eyes, looked at them, and said, "Are you husband and wife?" Yang Wan blushed and said, "No, we are brother and sister." Du Xiong said with a smile: "What does it matter if they are husband and wife?" The shop owner nodded and said, "It's fine if you're a husband and wife. However, you are brothers and sisters now. You can still discuss it. We only have one room, so it doesn't matter if you are brothers and sisters living together." Yang Wan frowned and said, "Why is there only one room?" Du Xiong tugged at her sleeve in a hurry, and said: "Since there are not many rooms, we have no choice but to stay here. Well, we will. How much should I pay for the room?" The shop owner said: "This is the best suite in our shop. The rent will inevitably be a bit more, three taels of silver a day. But fortunately it is a high-priced house, so it is vacant." Without further ado, Du Xiong paid six taels of silver and asked the shop owner to lead them into the room. Yang Wan saw that there was a small living room attached to the suite, and she felt relieved, thinking: "Du Xiong is an upright gentleman, so why not sleep in the wilderness and keep watch for me beside him? It's just that I wanted to freshen up and change clothes, but it was a little inconvenient." Du Xiong seemed to know what she wanted. After the shop owner went out, Du Xiong said: "The room is hard to find, don't blame me for taking the liberty. Now you use this room first. I will go out for a while to see if there is anything I want to buy. Find that person." Yang Wan secretly thanked Du Xiong for his thoughtfulness. After Du Xiong left, Yang Wan asked the shop waiter to fetch water, closed the window, and took a good bath. The layout of the room is complete, and there is a large bronze mirror that is polished to a shine. Yang Wan sighed, "It's a pity that Brother Nan can't be by my side to watch me do my makeup." There was a little bright red in the mirror, Yang Wan was startled, and unconsciously let out another long sigh.It turned out that it was a bit of "shougong sand" on her jade arm, which was lighted by her mother when she left home.This shougong sand cannot be washed or erased, and it will disappear on its own only after getting married. She had already forgotten it, but now that it is reflected in the mirror, she naturally has many feelings in her heart.She thought of her mother, her brother, and of course Li Sinan even more. "If Brother Nan is still alive, he should be able to believe that I am innocent when he sees this Shougong sand." Yang Wan was feeling sorry for herself, feeling sorry for herself, when suddenly she heard someone coughing gently outside the door.Yang Wan had a fever on her face, she quickly calmed down and said, "Did the elder brother come back?" Du Xiong said: "That's right, it's me. Can I come in?" Yang Wan opened the door, and because of her disturbed mood, she hadn't put down her sleeves yet, and a "shougong sand" on her arm came into Du Xiong's eyes.Du Xiong unconsciously smiled knowingly, it turned out that he had already inquired about the relationship between Yang Wan and Li Sinan, and he had been suspecting that the two of them had never consummated their marriage.Seeing her "shougong sand" now, this judgment has been confirmed.But in order to conceal his evil thoughts, he pretended to be casual and said: "Sister Wan, have you finished your makeup? Brother, you are doing well. I have expected you to stay in an inn. The first thing you need to do is to wash yourself well." After a while, it really looks more and more beautiful now." Yang Wan put down her sleeves and said solemnly: "I am a widow, brother, don't be joking. How about it, have you found that person yet?" Du Xiong returned to his usual upright attitude, and said, "I still haven't found it. But I have found two important pieces of news." Yang Wan said: "Oh, what's the news?" Du Xiong said: "The first thing is that the capital of Xixia has been captured by the Mongol army, and the leader of Xixia, Li Anan, surrendered his daughter." Yang Wan said: "The rulers of Western Xia are weak and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. It is expected that they will be destroyed by the Mongols." Du Xiong said: "The second thing may be beyond your expectations. After Mongolia destroyed Xixia, it immediately moved southward and invaded the territory of the Kingdom of Jin again. But it didn't come from this road, but it might divide the troops here." Yang Wan sighed and said: "Anyway, I just want to escape." She thought: "But this is not an accident." Du Xiong said: "Guess who is the commander of the former Mongolian army?" Yang Wan said: "How do I know?" Du Xiong said: "One principal and one deputy. The chief marshal is the prince of Genghis Khan's third son-in-law, and the deputy marshal is the guy who pretends to be Li Xihao, but his real name is Yu Yizhong. You can't expect that, right?" , Yang Wan once told Du Xiong. Yang Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Yizhong sells his friends for glory, and the villain succeeds. It's really hateful. It's not that I didn't expect it, but I just didn't expect him to come so soon!" Du Xiong said: "Yu Yizhong came to the Central Plains. If we want to assassinate him, it will be much more convenient than in Mongolia. Although he is in a high position, he is in the place of the Han people after all. I can invite a group of people with lofty ideals to fight against Mongolia. Opportunity, kill this beast!" Yang Wan thought of Li Sinan's plan before his death, which was exactly what Du Xiong said, and she was surprised and delighted, and said: "This is a very dangerous thing. Are you really willing to risk your life to do this thing?" Du Xiong made a righteous and dignified air and said: "Yu Yizhong is a minion of a tiger, betraying his friends for glory, it is really unforgivable in human nature, and intolerable in nature. Whether public or private, I should get rid of him. Sister Wan, I know he is you I am willing to give up my life just for your sake, the mortal husband-killer and enemy. Besides, he is the public enemy of our Han people!" After hearing his words, Yang Wan was so moved that tears filled her eyes, so she bowed down and said, "Brother, you are so kind to me, I really don't know how to thank you." Du Xiong smiled slightly, helped her up, and said: "Sister Wan, if you say that, you are treating my brother as an outsider. For you, I will go through fire and water, and I will go through fire and water. I hope you can understand this matter." Secretly Thinking about it, this daughter has been coaxed so deeply by me, and she relies on me wholeheartedly. It seems that the time is ripe. Yang Wan was taken aback for a moment, and thought: "Brother's words tonight seem to be very different from those in the past. He confided in me, what does this mean? Is it just for the sake of brother and sister, or does it have ulterior motives?" Poor Yang Wan reads the world Wei Shen, until now, still regard Du Xiong as a good person, and dare not think too bad of him. While thinking about it, Du Xiong smiled again and said: "Sister Wan, do you still miss your dead husband like this?" Yang Wan's heart trembled, and she said solemnly: "Sinan and I swear to live and die together, and it is only because his great revenge has not been avenged that I have survived until now." Du Xiong shook his head and said: "Sister Wan, please listen to me. I thought you were very good at Li Sinan. The dead are dead. How can the living waste their life for the dead? You are young and young." The word "shoujie" is just the etiquette and law taught by the rotten Confucianism, you are a hero among women, how can you be restrained by the rotten Confucian's etiquette?" Yang Wan's complexion changed, and she said, "Brother, are you persuading me to remarry?" Du Xiong said: "Li Sinan is under the Nine Springs, and he must also hope that you can entrust him with something else so that he will not be uneasy under the Spring." Yang Wan sneered, "Who do you want me to marry?" Du Xiong listened to her words and looked at her expression, he already knew something was wrong.但还是想试一试，期期艾艾地说道：“婉妹，那日你从鞑子军中杀了出来，我对你的刚烈就已经是十分佩服了。一路同行，你的人品胸襟，文才武艺，更是令我般般倾倒。难得你许我结为兄妹，咱们俩也还算情性相投，如今咱们又是命运相同，生死与共，因此我是在想、在想，咱们是不是可以比兄妹更进一步——若是我能够替你报了仇，而又侥幸未死的话，你能不能够答应我，我……” 杨婉怫然变色，说道：“原来你果然是怀有异心。我告诉你，我生是李家的人，死是李家的鬼，此志决不转移！你既然别有所图，我也不敢要你报仇了。就此告别！” 杜雄叫道：“婉妹慢走！”忽地左右开弓，噼噼啪啪地自己打了自己两个嘴巴。 杜雄自打嘴巴，此事大大出乎杨婉意料之外，杨婉不觉愕然住步，只听杜雄说道：“婉妹，我是给鬼迷了心窍，一时糊涂，说出你不中听的话来。不过，我委实是对你十分倾慕，但求你能原谅我的一时糊涂。从今之后，我矢誓以礼相守，决不敢再说半句亵读的说话。婉妹，你能原谅我吗？否则我可真是无地自容了！” 一个美丽的少女，有人对她表示倾慕，即使她讨厌这个人，心里也还是有几分欢喜的。何况杨婉对杜雄一向就有好感，而且曾经受过他的“大恩”呢？ 杨婉心里想道：“如今他知道了我要为思南守节的决心，他自己也知道自己的糊涂了，我似乎也不应该令他太过难堪。” 想至此处，杨婉又坐了下来，淡淡说道：“过去的过去了，我只当没有听到你刚才的说话。你也不必再提。今后咱们还是兄妹。” 杜雄暗暗欢喜，却装作不胜羞愧的样子，叹了口气说道：“这样我才安心。妹夫的仇，我还是要替他报的。嗯，现在天色已晚，婉妹，你饿了吧？” 杨婉为了转移活题，大大方方他说道：“是有点觉得饿了。把店小二叫来，胡乱要点东西吃吧。” 杜雄笑道：“我早已吩咐他们准备了。”当下，出外打了一转，回来的时候，店小二果然跟着他搬来了一桌酒席。 杨婉道：“这么多酒菜怎么吃得了？” 杜雄说道：“咱们挨了这许多日子的苦，也该享受了一下，吃不了就拣喜欢的每样吃一点。”说罢，对店小二挥一挥手，示意他不用在一旁伺候，店小二摆好酒席，便即退下。 杨婉在杜雄殷劝相之下挟了几箸莱，杜雄斟满了两杯酒，说道：“婉妹，现在咱们总算是暂时脱出险境了，我和你干一杯，庆贺庆贺。” 杨婉道：“我不会喝酒。” 杜雄笑道：“这也不是烈酒，只喝一杯，不会醉的。吃过了饭，我到外面另找个地方过夜，我是男人，没有客店，露宿也行。”言下之意，显然是怕杨婉不放心，是以他要避嫌疑了。 杨婉倒有点过意不去，心想：“他和我一路同行，未曾对我有过丝毫不轨的动作。看来他总还能够算得上是个发乎情止乎礼的君子。” 杨婉正自踌躇，只见杜雄已是一饮而尽，把杯底翻了转来，说道：“我先干为敬了。婉妹，你若不喝，那就是还怪我了。” 杨婉听他这样说，不得已举起酒杯，说道：“好吧，我虽然不会喝酒，这一杯也还是要陪大寄喝的。”杜雄见她肯喝，心中暗暗欢喜。 杨婉举起酒杯，正要喝下，忽听得“当”的一声，窗口突然飞进来一枚铜钱，打碎了杨婉手中的酒杯。 杨婉大吃一惊，只听得窗外那人急声叫道：“酒中有迷药，绝不可喝！”听这口音，正是日间卖刀给她的那个汉子。 杜雄大怒，一掌推开窗户，便跳了出去，喝道：“好呀，原来是你！我已经饶了你的性命，你还胆敢到这里来和我捣乱！” 那人一个转身，从屋顶跳了下去，扬声叫道：“大师哥，你害了龙刚已是天理不容，如今又使尽心机，害一个无依无靠的女子，你还是人吗？杨姑娘，你别听他的话，李思南、李思南——”话犹未了，杜雄已是追到，闪电般地一剑就刺过去，那人挡了一剑，虎口酸麻，长剑几乎把握不牢，只好飞快逃走。 杜雄怒不可遏，沉声喝道：“石璞，这是你自讨苦吃，今晚我可是不能再饶你了。”锲而不舍地钉在那人后面，紧紧追踪。 原来这个卖刀的汉子不是别人，正是李思南那日在山上遇见的那个汉子——屠凤的情人石璞。而这个杜雄则是屠凤的哥哥屠龙的化名。 石璞那日和李思南分手之后，本来是要在蝴蝶谷找他的师妹的，路上乱军壅塞，藏藏躲躲地就耽搁几天，到了蝴蝶谷之时，屠凤这一班人早已走了。 石璞只好打算先回山寨再说，想不到在这小镇碰见杨婉，最初他还不敢相信杨婉就是那个他曾经见过的已经“自杀”了的红衣女子，后来越看越像，这才藉卖刀名，引杨婉和他说话的。可惜他还未曾说出李思南的消息，就给屠龙打断。因此他只好冒险到客店来，准备向杨婉提出警告，无巧不巧，恰巧撞破了屠龙用药酒来骗杨婉这幕把戏。 屠龙生怕他说出更不中听的话来，一追上便施杀手，石璞的内力不及师兄，轻功稍胜一筹，当下边打边走，松了口气，依然嚷了出道：“李思南还在人间！”屠龙大怒道：“李思南还在人间，你可是不能再活在人间了！”石璞内力不及屠龙之能持久，大约跑出了十里之外，终于给屠龙追上。 石璞最后说的那句“李思南还在人间”，杨婉并没有听得完全。但他指责屠龙的言语，杨婉却已是听得清清楚楚。从他口中说出来的“李思南”这三个字，杨婉却也隐约听见了。 杨婉呆若木鸡，过了一会，神智才渐渐恢复清明，想道：“这人说起南哥的名字，那么他是认识南哥的了，他说这酒中有迷药，却不知是真是假？杜雄的为人想来不至于如此卑劣吧？”心中正在半信半疑之际，忽听得“喵”的一声，又把杨婉吓了一跳，原来是一只猫从打开的窗口跳了进来。exactly: 欲知后事奴何？Please listen to the breakdown next time.
