Duan Yu immediately fell into a coma, and it took an unknown amount of time before he slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a cloth tent, and then he realized that he was sleeping under the quilt on the bed.He was not fully awake at the moment, thinking hard, only remembering that he was plotted by Jiumozhi, how could he sleep on the same bed, but he couldn't remember anyway, he just felt very thirsty in his mouth, so he wanted to sit up, and smiled slightly Turning around, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I couldn't help but screamed "Ah". I only heard a girl's voice outside saying: "Young Master Duan is awake, Young Master Duan is awake!" The voice was full of joy.Duan Yu felt that the girl's voice was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, and then saw a girl in Tsing Yi rushing into the room.

With a round face and a small dimple at the corner of her mouth, she is exactly the Zhong Ling she met in the Wuliang Palace back then. Her father "killed anyone he saw", Zhong Wanchou, had a deep feud with Duan Yu's father, Duan Zhengchun, and planned to harm each other. Unexpectedly, when Duan Yu came out of the stone house, he hugged a disheveled Zhong Ling in his arms. Zhong Wanchou, who turned harming others into harming himself, was so angry that he almost died.In the tunnel of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, everyone chattered and chatted, Duan Yu sucked a lot of people's internal energy in a blind way, and was captured by Jiumozhi to the Central Plains shortly thereafter. .

Zhong Ling met his eyes, blushed for a while, and said with a half-smile: "You forgot me a long time ago? Do you still remember my last name?" When Duan Yu saw her expression, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.That was when she was sitting on the beam in the hall of Wuliang Palace, with her feet dangling and her mouth biting melon seeds, the few yellow flowers embroidered on her green shoes seemed to be clearly visible at this moment, He blurted out, "Where are your green shoes embroidered with yellow flowers?" Zhong Ling's face turned red again, she was very happy, and said with a smile, "It's already worn out, thank you for remembering this. You...you haven't forgotten me." Duan Yu laughed and said, "Why didn't you eat melon seeds? Zhong Ling said: "Okay, these days I am serving you to heal your wounds, and I am so anxious to death, who has the leisure to eat melon seeds?" After saying a word, I felt that my true feelings were revealed, and I couldn't help but blush.

Duan Yu stared at her blankly, remembering that she was already his wife at first, but later found out that she was his sister again, he couldn't help sighing, and said: "Good girl, why did you get here?" Zhong Ling's face turned red again, his eyes gleamed with joy, and he said: "After you left the Valley of Myriad Tribulations, you never came to see me again, so I am very annoyed at you." Duan Yu said: "What annoys me?" Zhong Ling gave him a sideways glance, and said, "I'm so annoyed that you forgot about me." Duan Yu saw that her eyes were full of affection, his heart moved, and he said: "Good girl!" Zhong Ling said with a hint of anger and a smile: "Now I am so affectionate, so I won't come to see me once. I can't get angry, I went to your Zhennan Palace to inquire, only to find out that you have been captured by an evil monk. I... I am in a hurry, so I will come out to look for you."

Duan Yu said: "Didn't your mother tell you about my father and your mother?" Zhong Ling said: "What's the matter? When you left with your father that night, my mother passed out and has been in a coma ever since. Well, I shed tears when I saw it. I teased her, but she wouldn't say a word." Duan Yu said: "Well, she didn't say a word, then...then you don't know." Zhong Ling said: "Don't know what?" Duan Yu said: "I don't know that you are me... mine ..." Zhong Ling blushed immediately, lowered her head, and said softly: "How do I know? When you came out of the stone house that day, you hugged me and suddenly saw so many people. I was terrified and shy at the same time. , I had no choice but to close my eyes, but I...I could hear your father's words clearly."

Both she and Duan Yu thought of what Duan Zhengchun said to Zhong Wanchou outside the stone house that day: "Ling Ai has been serving Duan Yu in this stone house for a long time. Lonely man and widow, naked Hiding in a dark room, what good things can I do? My son is the son of the Prince of Zhennan. Although he may not be able to marry Ling Ai as the son and concubine, why not have three wives and four concubines? You and I are not successful. Have you met your in-laws? Haha, haha, hahaha!" Seeing her face getting redder and redder, Duan Yu murmured: "My good girl... so you don't... you don't know the reason behind this... Good girl, that... that won't work." Zhong Ling said urgently: " Is it because Sister Mu doesn't allow it? Where is Sister Mu?" Duan Yu said: "No. She...she is also mine..." Zhong Ling smiled and said: "What did your father say about having three wives and four concubines, and I am not If you refuse to let her, she is very fierce, can I still argue with her?" He said and stuck out his tongue.

Duan Yu saw that she was still innocent, and at the same time her chest was hurting again, it was really inconvenient to explain the truth to her at this time, so he asked, "How did you come here?" Zhong Ling said: "I came all the way to look for you. I searched east and west in the Central Plains, but I didn't hear any news. It was a coincidence that I said a few days ago that I met your disciple Yue Laosan, but he didn't see me. I heard When he was discussing with others, he said that heroes from all walks of life would come to Shaolin Temple, and there was a big commotion, and they would also come. The wicked Yun Zhonghe made fun of him, saying that he would probably see his master. The third brother Yue lost his temper, Said that as soon as I saw you, I would break your neck. I was happy and worried at the same time, so I followed quietly. I was afraid that Yue Laosan and Yun Zhonghe would see me, so I didn't dare to get too close, but Walking around the mountain, I asked you where you were when I saw someone, and wanted to tell you to be careful, but your apprentice will break your neck. Seeing that there is an empty house here that no one lives in, I honestly stayed here.”

Duan Yu heard her speak lightly, but saw that her face was quite weather-beaten, she was no longer as completely carefree as when she first met in the Wuliang Palace, thinking that she was young, in order to find himself, she was alone After tossing around the rivers and lakes, I must have suffered a lot these days, and my affection for myself is really appreciable, so I couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, and said in a low voice: "Good girl, God is so sorry, I saw you again you!" Zhong Ling smiled and said: "Finally, the heavens are so pitiful that I saw you again. Hee hee, isn't this nonsense? Since you saw me, I naturally saw you too." Sitting down on the edge of the bed, he asked: "You How did you come here?"

Duan Yu opened his eyes wide, and said: "I was about to ask you, why did I come here? All I know is that evil monk plotted against me suddenly. I was hit by his invisible saber energy in my chest, and I was seriously injured. Then I don’t know anything.” Zhong Ling frowned, and said: "That's really strange! Yesterday at dusk, I went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, washed them in the kitchen and cut them up, and was about to cook them when I heard someone moaning in the room. I was startled, took a kitchen knife and walked into the room, only to see someone sleeping on my kang. I asked a few times: "Who is it? Who is it?" I didn't hear the answer. I thought it must be a bad person, raised the kitchen knife, I was about to chop off at the person on the kang. Fortunately... fortunately, you were lying on your back, and before the knife hit you, I saw your face first... At that time, I... I almost fainted In the past, I didn't even know that the kitchen knife fell on the ground." Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and patted his chest, thinking that the situation was dangerous at that time, thinking about it now, still has lingering fear.

Duan Yu pondered: "Since this place is not far from Shaolin Temple, someone must have sent me here after I was injured." Zhong Ling said again: "I called you a few times, but you just groaned and didn't pay attention to me. When I touched your forehead, it burned badly, and I saw a lot of blood on your lapel. I knew you were injured, so I untied you." The clothes wanted to see the wound, but it was well bandaged. I was afraid of touching the wound, so I didn’t dare to remove the bandage. After waiting for a long time, you still don’t wake up. Alas, I am happy and anxious at the same time, but I don’t know what to do. "

Duan Yu said: "I'm so tired that you miss it, I really feel sorry for you." Zhong Ling suddenly put on a hard face, and said: "You are not a good person. If I knew you were so heartless, I would have missed you a long time ago. Now I will ignore you, let you die or live, I will always ignore you." Come to pay attention to you." Duan Yu said: "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly get angry?" Zhong Ling snorted, pouted her lips, and said, "You know it yourself, why are you asking me again?" Duan Yu said anxiously: "I... I really don't know, good girl, tell me!" Zhong Ling said angrily, "Bah! Who is your good girl? What did you say in your sleep? You know it yourself, but you come to ask me? Seriously There’s no reason.” Duan Yu said anxiously: “What did I say in my sleep? It was nonsense words, I can’t make it right. Ah, I remembered, I must have seen you in my dream, I was so happy , I didn’t know the severity of what I said, so that I offended you.” Zhong Ling shed tears suddenly, lowered his head and said, "Up to this moment, you are still lying to me. Who did you dream about?" Duan Yu sighed, and said, "After I was injured, I have been in a coma, I really don't know He said some nonsense." Zhong Ling suddenly said loudly: "Who is Miss Wang? Who is Miss Wang? Why did you just call her name when you were unconscious?" Duan Yu's chest felt sore, and he asked, "Did I call Miss Wang by name?" Zhong Ling said, "Why didn't you call? You were also calling when you were unconscious, hum, you're thinking of her again right now." Alright, okay! Go and ask your Miss Wang to serve you, I don't care!" Duan Yu sighed, and said, "Miss Wang doesn't have me in her heart, even if I miss her, it's in vain." Zhong Ling said: "Why?" Duan Yu said: "She only likes her cousin, she has always been indifferent to me." Zhong Ling turned from anger to joy, and said with a smile: "Thank God, the wicked will be tortured by the wicked!" Duan Yu said, "Am I a wicked person?" Zhong Ling let out half of her beautiful hair on one side of her head, and said with a smile: "Your apprentice Yue Laosan is a big villain, all disciples are so evil, of course Master is even more evil." Duan Yu laughed and said: "Then what about Master's Wife? Didn't Yue Laosan call you 'Master's Wife'?" As he exited the door, he regretted immediately: "Why did I say such gossip to my own sister?" Zhong Ling blushed and spat, but her heart was full of sweetness. She stood up, went to the kitchen to bring out a bowl of chicken soup, and said, "This pot of chicken soup has been cooking for a long time. I've been waiting for you to wake up. Turn off the fire." Duan Yu said: "I really don't know how to thank you." Seeing Zhong Ling coming over with chicken soup, struggling to sit up, touching the wound on his chest, he couldn't help but let out a soft snort. Zhong Ling hurriedly said: "Don't get up, I'll feed the wicked little ancestor." Duan Yu said: "What wicked little ancestor?" Zhong Ling said: "You are the master of the big wicked, aren't you the wicked little ancestor?" Duan Yu laughed. "Then you..." Zhong Ling scooped up a spoonful of steaming chicken soup with a spoon, pointed it at his face, and said with feigned anger, "If you talk nonsense again, why don't I splash you with hot soup?" Duan Yu stuck out his tongue, Said: "Don't dare, don't dare anymore! The wicked lady and the wicked aunt are really powerful, evil enough!" Zhong Ling laughed, almost pouring the soup on Duan Yu, and hurriedly restrained himself, put the spoon to his mouth, and tried it. The chicken soup in the spoon was not too hot, so it reached Duan Yu's mouth. Duan Yu drank a few sips of chicken soup, and saw that her face was as bright as the morning glow, with a few beads of sweat on her upper lip.At this time, it was a very hot day in June, and her forearms were exposed outside her sleeves, and her wrists were as bright as jade. Duan Yu's heart fluttered, and he thought: "It's a pity that she is my own sister again! She is my own sister, then It doesn't really matter... Sigh, if it's Miss Wang who is feeding me soup at this time, even if it's rotten intestines and poisonous poison, I'll be willing to eat it." Seeing him staring blankly at him, Zhong Ling never expected that he would be thinking of others at this moment, and smiled and said, "What's so interesting?"
Suddenly, someone pushed the door open and came in, followed by a young girl's voice: "Let's rest here for a while." A man's voice said: "Okay! I'm really tired of you, I...I'm really sorry. "The girl said: "Nonsense!" Duan Yu heard the voices of those two people, it was Ah Zi and Zhuang Juxian, the leader of the Beggar Clan.Although he has not met or spoken to AZi, he has been told by Zhu Danchen and others that this little girl is his father's illegitimate daughter and also his own younger sister, thank God, fortunately, he has no romantic entanglements with him.This little girl worshiped under the old man Xingxiu since she was a child. She was tainted with evil and acted willfully. Chu Wanli, one of the four guards of Zhennan Palace, died of her anger.Duan Yu has been on good terms with Chu Gu, Fu and Zhu's four great guards since he was a child, thinking of Chu Wanli's death, he does not want to meet this naughty little girl, not to mention that he helped Xiao Feng yesterday and became an enemy of Zhuang Juxian, so I will see him now Seeing that he was afraid of losing his life, he hurriedly raised his finger as a gesture of silence. Zhong Ling nodded, holding the bowl of chicken soup, she didn't dare to put it on the table for fear of making a slight noise.Only Ah Zi called out: "Hey, is there anyone? Is there anyone?" Zhong Ling looked at Duan Yu, but did not agree, thinking: "This person is probably Miss Wang, she is with her cousin, so Duan Lang I don't want to meet her." She really wanted to see the appearance of this "Miss Wang", how could she have such a beautiful face, so Duan Lang was so fascinated by her, but she didn't dare to move, thinking that Duan Lang Meeting her would probably not be a good thing, and if she yelled for a while, no one would pay attention, she would naturally go with her cousin. AhZi yelled again: "Why don't the people in the house die and come out? If you don't come out again, Miss will set fire to your house." Zhong Lingxin said: "This Miss Wang is so arrogant!" You TanZhi whispered: "Don't act Sound, someone is coming!" AhZi said: "Who is it? Beggars?" You TanZhi said: "I don't know. There are four or five people, maybe they are from the Beggars. They are coming here." Ah Zi said: "These stinky elders of the beggar gang, except for one Quan elder, they are not half good, they want to rebel against you again. If they see it, both of us will suffer." You TanZhi Said: "Then what should we do?" Ah Zi said: "Go hide in the room and talk about it, you are too injured, you can't fight with them." Duan Yu secretly groaned, and hurriedly signaled to Zhong Ling, asking her to try to escape.But this is a shanty farmer's hut, the inner room is very narrow, you can see it as soon as you enter, there is really nowhere to hide.Zhong Ling looked around, but just ignored him, when he heard the sound of footsteps, the two people in the hall had already walked into the room, said in a low voice: "Hide under the kang." Put down the soup bowl, before Duan Yu signaled Can you, picked him up, and both of them got into the bottom of the kang.Shaoshi Mountain is very cold in autumn and winter, and the mountain people burn fires under the kang to keep warm. It is very hot at this time, so there is no need to light fires, but the bottom of the kang is full of coal ash and coke, when Duan Yu got in, his nose was full of dust, I couldn't help but wanted to sneeze, and it was hard to hold back. Zhong Ling looked out, only to see a pair of slender feet wearing purple satin shoes entering the room, but heard the man's voice say: "Oh, I want you to recite it, it's too insulting to the girl." The girl said: "One of us is blind and the other is lame, so we have to take care of each other." Zhong Ling was amazed and thought, "So Miss Wang is blind, she carried her cousin on her back, so I couldn't see the man's feet." AhZi put You TanZhi on the bed, said: "Eh! Someone slept in this bed just now, and the mat is still hot." There was only a bang, the door was kicked open, and several people rushed in.One said in a rough voice: "Master Zhuang, the important things in the gang are not over yet, what are you talking about if you let go and slip away like this?" It was Elder Song.He led two seven-pocket disciples and two six-pocket disciples to search for You TanZhi in this area. After Xiao's father and son, Murong's father and son, Shaolin monks, and Central Plains heroes all rushed into Shaolin Temple, the beggars felt that they lost face today, if they don't try something urgently, it may be difficult for the largest sect in Central Plains to gain a foothold in the martial arts.Xiao's father and son and Murong Bo are entangled in grudges, the group of beggars has nothing to do with them, and they don't want to intervene, although they say they share the same hatred with Bao BuTong, and want to find Xiao Feng's bad luck, after all, how the gang will live and work in the future is the top priority, everyone There is only one thing on his mind: "It is necessary to establish another hero, lead the gang, revive the glory, and restore the lost reputation of the beggar gang."The group of beggars all thought that his feet were broken and he couldn't walk far, so they split up to look for him.As for what to do with him after he was found, the group of beggars had no idea what to do with him, but this person was determined not to be the leader of the Beggar Clan anymore, but there was no disagreement.Some people scolded him for taking the Xingxiu old monster as his teacher, and humiliated the beggar gang; some scolded him for sending people to kill the brothers of the gang, so they must settle accounts with him.As for Quan Guanqing, he had already been captured by Elder Song and Elder Wu together, tied him up, and dealt with him together after he got to Zhuang Juxian. Elder Song led four disciples to search in the southeast of Mount Shaoshi. From afar, he saw purple clothes flashing in the woods. Someone entered a farmhouse. He recognized it as Ah Zi, and saw that she had someone on her back. It was probably Zhuang Juxian. He immediately chased him down, broke into the inner room of the farmhouse, and saw Zhuang Juxian and Ah Zi sitting side by side on the kang. AhZi said coldly: "Elder Song, since you still call him the leader of the clan, why are you yelling at him? There is no rule of meeting the leader of the clan?" Elder Song was stunned, thinking that her words were not unreasonable, and said: "The leader of the clan , our thousands of brothers are all staying on Mount Shaoshi at this moment, we need to ask the leader to show us what we plan to do." You Tanzhi said: "Do you still think I am the leader? You want to ask me to go back, but you want to kill me Get angry, don't you? I'm not going!" Elder Song said to the four disciples: "Quickly send a message, the leader is here." The four disciples responded: "Yes!" They turned and left.AhZi shouted: "Let's do it!" You TanZhi slapped out his palm in response, Zhong Ling and Duan Yu under the kang felt a sudden chill in the room, the four Beggar Clan disciples didn't even groan, their bodies lay on the ground.Elder Song was startled and angry, he raised his palms to his chest, and shouted: "You...you...you have done such a cruel thing to the brothers in the gang!" AhZi said: "Kill him too." You TanZhi said again It was a palm, and Elder Song raised his palm to block it. With a scream of "ah", he fell out of the gate. A Zi Gege smiled, said: "This man will not survive! Are you hungry? Let's go find something to eat." Putting You TanZhi on his back, they both went to the kitchen and cooked Zhong Ling. The food was brought to the hall and ate. Zhong Ling whispered in Duan Yu's ear: "These two are so shameless, they are drinking the chicken soup I cooked for you." Duan Yu said in a low voice: "They are cruel and ruthless, they kill people as soon as they strike, and they will definitely come back into the room later. Let's Quickly slip out through the back door." Zhong Ling didn't want him to meet that "Miss Wang", hearing what he said, it was exactly what he wished for. The two climbed out from the bottom of the kang lightly.Seeing that Duan Yu's face was covered in soot, Zhong Ling couldn't help laughing, and covered his mouth with his hand.After leaving the room, passing through the kitchen, and just stepping out the back door, Duan Yu could no longer bear the sneeze he had endured for a long time, and sneezed out with a "begging". You Tanzhi shouted: "There is someone!" Zhong Ling saw that there was nowhere to hide, there was only a firewood shed behind the stove, he pulled Duan Yu and got into the firewood pile.I only heard AhZi shout: "Who is it? You are sneaky, get out!" You TanZhi said: "Most of them are farmers from the countryside, I don't think it should be ignored." AZi said: "Why don't you care? You are like this If you are careless, you will suffer big losses in the future, so don't make a sound!" After she was blind, her ears were very sharp, she could hear the rustling of firewood and said, "There is someone in the firewood pile!" Zhong Ling was terrified, and suddenly felt water dripping on his face, he stretched out his hand to touch it, it was wet and greasy, and then smelled a burst of blood, startled, and asked in a low voice: "You...what's the matter with your wound?" Duan Yu Said: "Shut up!" AhZi pointed at the firewood room and shouted: "Over there." You TanZhi slapped his palm towards the firewood room, there was a crackling sound, the door panel was broken, wood chips and firewood flew together. Zhong Ling shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, we are coming out!" Supporting Duan Yu, he climbed out from the pile of firewood.Duan Yu stabbed Jiumozhi with a "flaming knife" earlier, the injury was serious, he climbed from the top of the kang to the bottom of the kang, and then hid in the woodshed from the bottom of the kang, after moving like this several times, the wound burst and blood poured out.As soon as he was injured, he lost all fighting spirit. Although his internal energy was still extremely abundant, he knew that his life was at the end of an instant, and he couldn't think of using the six-veined sword to defend against the enemy. AhZi asked: "Why is there a little girl's voice?" You TanZhi said: "A man brought a little girl, hid in the pile of firewood, her body was covered with blood, this little girl's eyes are bone-deep, just Look at you." After AhZi became blind, she disliked the word "eyes" being mentioned the most, You Tanzhi not only mentioned "eyes", but also "little girl's eyes", which touched her heart even more, and asked: "What's so stupid, her eyes are beautiful?" You Tanzhi didn't know that she was very angry, he said: "She is very dirty, she is a farmer's girl, these eyes are quite dark Be flexible." Zhong Ling's head and face were covered with dust and charcoal under the kang, but his eyes were still as black as lacquer and as bright as autumn water. AZi was furious, said: "Okay! Mr. Zhuang, you quickly gouged out her eyeballs." You TanZhi was startled, and said: "That's fine, why gouging out her eyes?" AZi said casually: "Mine Old Freak Ding blinded her eyes, wouldn't it be good for you to go and dig out the little girl's eyes and put them on for me, so that I can see the light of day again?" You TanZhi was secretly startled, thinking: "If she can see again and see my ugly appearance, she will immediately ignore me, maybe she will recognize my real face and know that I am that 'Iron Chou' , That would be terrible. This thing must never be done.” Said: “If I can heal your eyes, it would be really great... But, your method, I’m afraid... I’m afraid it won’t work!" AhZi knew that she couldn't poach other people's eyeballs to fill her own blind eyes, but after she went blind, she was full of resentment, and only wished that everyone in the world had no eyes, so she would be happy, and said: "You haven't tried it, how do you know?" Can't do it? Hurry up and dig out her eyeballs." She carried You Tanzhi on her back, and immediately walked towards Duan Yu and Zhong Ling. Zhong Ling listened to the conversation between the two of them, and felt terrified in her heart, she ran wildly, she was more than ten zhang away in an instant.AhZi is blind and has You TanZhi on her shoulders, so it's hard to catch up, not to mention You TanZhi didn't want to catch up with Zhong Ling, when he pointed out the direction was crooked, he hesitated when he spoke, he lost the opportunity. Hearing Zhong Ling's footsteps, Ah Zi knew that she would not be able to catch up, so she turned her head and shouted: "Since the girl has escaped, just kill the man!" Zhong Ling was shocked when he heard it from a distance, and immediately stood still, turned around, and saw Duan Yu lying on the ground with a pool of blood flowing beside him.She ran back and shouted: "Little blind man! You can't hurt him." At this moment she was facing A'Zi face to face, seeing that she had a pretty face, she really was a little beauty, she never thought that her heart could be so vicious. AhZi shouted: "I tapped her acupoints!" Although You TanZhi was unwilling, he never dared to disobey her orders, this was the case in the Great Prince's Mansion of the South Court of Nanking in the Great Liao Dynasty, even after becoming the leader of the Beggar Clan, Immediately leaning over and stretching out his fingers, Zhong Lingdian fell to the ground. Zhong Ling shouted: "Miss Wang, please don't hurt him, he... he also called you by your name in his dream, he really treats you sincerely!" A Ziqi said: "What did you say? Who is Miss Wang? " Zhong Ling said: "You...you are not Miss Wang? Then who are you?" Ah Zi smiled slightly and said, "Hmph, you call me 'little blind', you are about to become a little blind yourself, and you don't know what to do." Ask Xiwen what are you doing? You still have a pair of eyeballs at this time, it's good to take a few more look." Putting You TanZhi on the ground, he said: "Gouging out this little girl's eyeballs!" You Tanzhi said: "Yes!" He stretched out his left hand and grabbed Zhong Ling's neck.Zhong Ling yelled in fright: "Don't goug my eyes, don't goug my eyes." Duan Yu was lying on the ground in a daze, but he also knew that the two of them were going to dig out Zhong Ling's eyeballs and put them into Ah Zi's eye sockets, and he also knew that Zhong Ling had already escaped, only because he helped him, so he threw himself into the trap .He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You...you still gouged out my eyeballs, we...we are a family...it's more suitable..." AhZi didn't understand what he said, ignored him, urged You TanZhi: "Why don't you do anything?" You TanZhi had no choice but to respond: "Yes!" Pulling Zhong Ling closer, he stretched out his right index finger , gouged out her right eye.
Suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Hey, what are you doing here?" You Tanzhi raised his head, his expression changed drastically, he saw two men and four women standing under the willow tree beside the mountain stream.The two men are Xiao Feng and Xu Zhu, and the four girls are Xu Zhu's maid Mei Lan Ju Zhu Si Jian. Xiao Feng saw Duan Yu lying on the ground with a glance, he snatched Duan Yu up, picked Duan Yu up, frowned and said: "The wound is broken again, there is so much blood coming out." He knelt down on his left leg and lifted him Leaning on his lap, inspecting his wound.Xu Zhu followed, looked at Duan Yu's wound, and said: "Brother, don't panic, my 'Nine Turns Xiong Snake Pill' is very effective in healing wounds." He tapped the acupuncture points around Duan Yu's wound to stop the blood flow, Feed him the "Jiuzhuan Xiongshe Wan".Duan Yu shouted: "Big Brother, Second Brother... Hurry... Hurry up and save people... don't allow him to poach Miss Zhong's eyes. Miss Zhong is my...my...good girl." Xiao Feng and Xu Zhu turned to You at the same time Look frankly.You Tanzhi was panicked, not to mention he didn't want to poach Zhong Ling's eyes, so he let her go immediately. Ah Zi said: "Brother-in-law, what did my sister say when she was about to die? After you beat her to death, did you put her entrustment behind you?" Sad and angry at the same time, he snorted and didn't answer.AhZi said again: "You didn't take good care of me, and you didn't take care of Old Freak Ding blinding me. Brother-in-law, people say you are the greatest hero in the world, but you can't protect your sister-in-law. Could it be that you are incapable? Hmph, Old Monster Ding can't beat you. It's just that you didn't come to take care of me and protect me." Xiao Feng sadly said: "You were taken captive by the gang of beggars and you lost your eyesight, it's because I didn't protect you well, I really feel sorry for you." When he first saw AZi doing mischief again, causing someone to goug Zhong Ling's eyes, he was very annoyed, but when he saw her blank eyes, he immediately remembered AZi's instructions when he was dying.On that thunderstorm night, by the small bluestone bridge, after receiving his fatal blow, Ah Zhu said in his arms: "I only have a sister with the same father and the same mother, and we were not allowed to be together since we were young. You take care of her, I am worried that she will go astray." He once said: "Don't say one thing, I will promise you a hundred things." But Ah Zi finally lost a pair of eyes again, no matter how bad she was, Always self-protection.When he thought of this, his chest ached, and there was a gentle look in his eyes. AhZi has been with him for a long time, she knows Xiao Feng's temperament well, as long as she mentions AZhu, she will hit the nail on the head, no matter how embarrassing it is, she can agree to it.She hated Ji Zhong Ling for calling herself a "little blind man", and secretly said: "I must teach you to taste what it's like to be a 'little blind man'." Youyou sighed at that moment, and said to Xiao Feng: "Brother-in-law, I'm blind , can’t see anything, it’s better to die.” Xiao Feng said: "I have handed you over to your father and mother, why are you with this Clan Leader Zhuang again?" At this moment, he could see that AhZi was with this Zhuang Juxian out of her own will, and Zhuang Juxian also returned He listened to her very much, and said: "You should go back to Dali with your father. Although you are blind, there are many servants in the Dali palace, so it will not be too inconvenient." A Zi said: "My mother It's not the real princess, when I arrived in Dali, there were endless intrigues in the palace, all of my father's subordinates hated me to death, I'm blind, I must be murdered." Xiao Feng thought that his words were reasonable, He said: "then you go back to Nanjing with me and live a quiet life, which is better than taking risks in the rivers and lakes." Ah Zi said: "Go to your palace again? Oh, I was not blind before, but I was so bored that I was sick, how can I go again? You are not willing to be like this Clan Master Zhuang who never disobeyed my words. I would rather Life is always happier when you are wandering in the rivers and lakes." Xiao Feng glanced at You Tanzhi, thought: "It seems that little Ah Zi has fallen in love with this beggar gang leader." He said: "What is the origin of this gang leader Zhuang, have you asked him?" Ah Zi said: "Of course I asked. However, a person who talks about his own background may not be reliable. Brother-in-law, when you were the leader of the beggar gang, were you willing to tell others that you are from Khitan?" Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Xiao Feng snorted and stopped talking, he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, he didn't know whether she should be allowed to go with this lowly character Zhuang Gangzhu. Ah Zi said: "Brother-in-law, are you ignoring me?" Xiao Feng frowned and said: "What do you want?" Ah Zi said: "I want you to dig out this little girl's eyeballs and put them in my eyes." After a pause, he said again: "Master Zhuang was doing this for me. If you don't interrupt, he will have already done it. Well, you can do it for me, brother-in-law. I want to know, after all. Is it you who treat me better, or Zhuang Gangzhu who treats me better. In the past, you carried me to the Kanto to heal my wounds. At that time, you were also obedient to me, and you would do whatever I said. We live in a tent, you don’t care Day and night, you hug me and never leave your body. Brother-in-law, why have you forgotten all these things?" You TanZhi's eyes shot out a vicious look, he looked at Xiao Feng, and seemed to say: "Miss AZi is mine, from now on, you don't even want to touch her again." Xiao Feng didn't pay attention to him, and said: "At that time you were seriously injured, I had to follow you in order to save your life with my true energy. This girl is my brother's friend, how can I poach her eyes Help you recover your eyesight? Besides, there is no such medical skill in the world, your idea is really fantastic!" Xu Zhu suddenly interrupted and said: "I see Miss Duan's eyes, but the outer layer is burnt, if there is a pair of living eyeballs replaced, maybe she can recover her eyesight." Yama's enemy, Miracle Doctor Xue, is Xu Zhu's nephew.Although Xu Zhu doesn't know much about medical skills, but he has followed Tianshan Child Elder for several months, he has heard her talk about such methods as renewing legs, changing hands and so on. AhZi let out an "ah", cheered and shouted: "Mr. Xu Zhu, you are not lying to me, are you?" She blushed slightly, said: "Of course I'm not lying to you, but...but..." Ah Zi said: "But what? Mr. Xu Zhu, you and my brother-in-law are married to Jinlan, we are a family. You always heard what my brother-in-law said just now, he loves me the most. Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, no matter what, you have to ask your righteous brother to heal my eyes." Xu Zhu said: "I once heard my uncle say He said, if the eyes are not completely broken, sometimes it is possible to regain sight by replacing them with a pair of living eyes. But I don’t know how to replace the eyes.” Ah Zi said: "Then your senior uncle will definitely know this method, please beg him for me." Xu Zhu sighed and said: "My senior uncle has unfortunately passed away." Azi stamped his feet and shouted "So you made up something to amuse me." Xu Zhu shook his head again and again, and said: "No, no! I have a lot of medical books and pharmacopoeias in Lingjiu Palace of Misty Peak, I believe this method of changing eyes must also be hidden in the palace. But...but..." Ah Zi was happy and worried at the same time, and said: "You are such a big man, why do you always hesitate to speak, alas, what's the 'but' no 'but'?" Xu Zhu said: "But...but...the eyeballs are so precious, who is willing to exchange them for you?" Ah Zi giggled, and said: "I don't think there is any embarrassment, it's not easy to get the eyeballs of a living person? Just goug out the little girl's eyes." Zhong Ling shouted loudly: "No, no, you can't poach my eyes." Xu Zhu said: "Yes! Comparing your heart with your heart, you don't want to lose your eyes, Miss Zhong naturally also doesn't want to lose her eyes. Although Sakyamuni was a Bodhisattva in his previous life, he was willing to donate flesh, blood, limbs, brains to others, but How can Ms. Zhong compare with Tathagata? Besides, Ms. Zhong is a good friend of my third brother..." Suddenly my heart was shocked: "Oh, no! That day in the Vulture Palace, my third brother and I had a drink together. Afterwards, he revealed the truth that his ideal person was my "Meng Gu". Now, it seems that the third brother treats this Miss Zhong very well. I heard him tell Ah Zi just now that I would rather gouge out his eyes than May she hurt Miss Zhong. Eyes are the most important of a person's five sense organs and limbs. The third brother is willing to give up his eyes for Miss Zhong. It is conceivable that he has deep affection for her. Could it be that Miss Zhong is Aunt Meng who gathered with me for three nights in the ice cellar?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help trembling all over, and turned his head to secretly look at Zhong Ling.But seeing that although her head and face were covered with soot and grass, she couldn't hide her beauty.Xu Zhu and "Meng Gu" spend quite a lot of time together, but in the dark ice cellar, he has no idea what "Meng Gu" looks like, unless he stretches out his hand to touch her If he could put his arms around her slender waist, it would be more sure, but how dare he reach out to touch Zhong Ling's face in broad daylight and under the eyes of everyone?As for cuddling and hugging, there is no need to mention it. 一想到搂抱“梦姑”,脸上登时发烧,钟灵的声音显然和“梦姑”颇不相同,但想一个人的话声,在冰窖中和空旷处听来差别殊大,何况“梦姑”跟着他说的都是柔声细语,绵绵情话,钟灵却是惊恐之际的尖声呼叫,情景既然不同,语音有异,也不足为奇。虚竹凝视钟灵,心中似乎伸出一只手掌来,在她脸上轻轻抚摸,要知道她究竟是不是自己的“梦姑”。他心中情意大盛,脸上自然而然现出温柔款款的神色。 钟灵见他神情和蔼可亲,看来不会挖自己的眼珠,稍觉宽心。 阿紫道:“虚竹先生,我是你三弟的亲妹子,这钟姑娘只不过是他朋友。妹子和朋友,这中间的分别可就大了。” 段誉服了灵鹫宫的“九转熊蛇丸”后,片刻间伤口便已无血流出,神智也渐渐清醒,甚么换眼珠之事,并未听得明白,阿紫最后这几句话,却十分清晰的传入了耳中,忍不住哼了一声,说道:“原来你早知我是你的哥哥,怎么又叫人来伤我性命?” 阿紫笑道:“我从来没跟你说过话,怎认得你的声音?昨天听到爹爹、妈妈说起,才知道跟我姊夫、虚竹先生拜把子、打得慕容公子一败涂地的大英雄,原来是我亲哥哥,这可妙得很啊。我姊夫是大英雄,我亲哥哥也是大英雄,真正了不起!”段誉摇手道:“甚么大英雄?丢人现眼,贻笑大方。”阿紫笑道:“啊哟,不用客气。小哥哥,你躲在柴房中时,我怎知道是你?我眼睛又瞧不见。直到听得你叫我姊夫作'大哥',才知道是你。”段誉心想倒也不错,说道:“二哥既知治眼之法,他总会设法给你医治,钟姑娘的眼珠,却万万碰她不得。她……她也是我的亲妹子。” 阿紫格格笑道:“刚才在那边山上,我听得你拚命向那个王姑娘讨好,怎么一转眼间,又瞧上这个钟姑娘了?居然连'亲妹子'也叫出来啦,小哥哥,你也不害臊?”段誉给她说得满脸通红,道:“胡说八道!”阿紫道:“这钟姑娘倘若是我嫂子,自然动不得她的眼珠子。但若不是我嫂子,为甚么动她不得?小哥哥,她到底是不是我嫂子?” 虚竹斜眼向段誉看去,心中怦怦乱跳,实不知钟灵是不是“梦姑”,假如不是,自然无妨,但如她果真便是“梦姑”,却给段誉娶了为妻,那可不知如何是好了。他满脸忧色,等待段誉回答,这一瞬之间过得比好几个时辰还长。 钟灵也在等待段誉回答,寻思:“原来瞎姑娘是你妹子,连她也在说你向王姑娘讨好,那么你心中喜欢王姑娘,决不是假的了。那为甚么刚才你又说我是岳老三的'师娘'?为甚么你又肯用你的眼珠子来换我的眼珠子?为甚么你当众叫我'亲妹子'?” 只听得段誉说道:“总而言之,不许你伤害钟姑娘。你小小年纪,老是不做好事,咱们大理的褚万里褚大哥,便是给你活活气死的。你再起歹心,我二哥便不肯给你治眼了。” 阿紫扁了扁嘴,道:“哼!倒会摆兄长架子。第一次生平跟我说话,也不亲亲热热的,却教训起人来啦!” 萧峰见段誉精神虽仍十分萎顿,但说话连贯,中气渐旺,知道灵鹫宫的“九转熊蛇丸”已生奇验,他性命已然无碍,便道:“三弟,咱们同到屋里歇一歇,商量行止。”段誉道:“甚好!”腰一挺,便站了起来。钟灵叫道:“哎哟,你不可乱动,别让伤口又破了。”语音中充满关切之情。萧峰喜道:“二弟,你的治伤的灵药真是神奇无比。” 虚竹“嗯”了几声,心中却在琢磨钟灵这几句情意款款的关怀言语,恍恍惚惚,茫然若失。
众人走进屋去。段誉上炕睡卧,萧峰等便坐在炕前。这时天色已晚,梅兰竹菊四姝点亮了油灯,分别烹茶做饭,依次奉给萧峰、段誉、虚竹和钟灵,对游坦之和阿紫却不理不睬。阿紫心下恼怒,依她往日生性,便要对灵鹫宫四姝下毒暗害,但她想到若要双目复明,唯有求恳虚竹,只得强抑怒火。 萧峰哪去理会阿紫是否在发脾气,顺手拉开炕边桌子的一只抽屉,不禁一怔。段誉和虚竹见他神色有异,都向抽屜中瞧去,只见里面放着的都是些小孩子玩物,有木雕的老虎,泥捏的小狗,草编的虫笼,关蟋蟀的竹筒,还有几把生了锈的小刀。这些玩物皆是农家常见之物,毫不出奇。萧峰却拿起那只木虎来,瞧着呆呆的出神。 阿紫不知他在干甚么,心中气闷,伸手去掠头发,手肘拍的一下,撞到身边一架纺棉花的纺车。她从腰间拔出剑来,刷的一声,便将那纱车劈为两截。 萧峰陡然变色,喝道:“你……你干甚么?”阿紫道:“这纺车撞痛了我,劈烂了它,又碍你甚么事了?”萧峰怒道:“你给我出去!这屋里的东西,你怎敢随便损毁?” 阿紫道:“出去便出去!”快步奔出。她狂怒之下,走得快了,砰的一声,额头撞在门框之上。她一声不出,摸清去路,仍是急急走出。萧峰心中一软,抢上去挽住她手臂,柔声道:“阿紫,你撞痛了么?”阿紫回身过来,扑在他怀里,放声哭了出来。 萧峰轻拍她背脊,低声道:“阿紫,是我不好,不该对你这般粗声大气的。”阿紫哭道:“你变啦,你变啦!不像从前那样待我好了。”萧峰柔声道:“坐下歇一会儿,喝口茶,好不好?”端起自己茶碗,送到阿紫口边,左手自然而然的伸过去搂着她腰。当年阿紫被他打断肋骨之后,萧峰足足服侍了她一年有余,别说送茶喂饭,连更衣、梳头、大小便等等亲昵的事也不得不为她做。当时阿紫肋骨断后,无法坐直,萧峰喂药、喂汤之时,定须以左手搂住她身子,积久成习,此刻喂她喝茶,自也如此。阿紫在他手中喝了几口茶,心情也舒畅了,嫣然一笑,道:“姊夫,你还赶我不赶?” 萧峰放开她身子,转头将茶碗放到桌上,阴沉沉的暮色之中,突见两道野兽般的凶狠目光,怨毒无比的射向自己。萧峰微微一怔,只见游坦之坐在屋角落地下,紧咬牙齿,鼻孔一张一合,便似要扑上来向自己撕咬一般。萧峰心想:“这人不知到底是甚么来历,可处处透着古怪。”只听阿紫又道:“姊夫,我劈烂一架破纺车,你又何必生这么大的气?” 萧峰长叹一声,说道:“这是我义父义母的家里,你劈烂的,是我义母的纺车。” Everyone was taken aback. 萧峰手掌托着那只小小木虎,凝目注视。灯火昏黄,他巨大的影子照在泥壁上。他手掌握拢,中指和食指在木雕小虎背上轻轻抚摸,脸上露出爱怜之色,说道:“这是我义父给我刻的,那一年我是五岁,义父……那时候我叫他爹爹……就在这盏油灯旁边,给我刻这只小老虎。妈妈在纺纱。我坐在爹爹脚边,眼看小老虎的耳朵出来了,鼻子出来了,心里真是高兴……” 段誉问道:“大哥,是你救我到这里来的?”萧峰点头道:“是。”
原来那无名老僧正为众人说法之时,鸠摩智突施毒手,伤了段誉。无名老僧袍袖一拂,将鸠摩智推出数丈之外。鸠摩智不敢停留,转身飞奔下山。 萧峰见段誉身受重伤,忙加施救。玄生取出治伤灵药,给段誉敷上。鸠摩智这一招“火焰刀”势道凌厉之极,若不是段誉内力深厚,刀势及胸之时自然而然生出暗劲抵御,当场便已死于非命。 萧峰眼见山风猛烈,段誉重伤之余,不宜多受风吹,便将他抱到自己昔年的故居中来。他将段誉放在炕上,立即转身,既要去和父亲相见,又须安顿一十八名契丹武士,万没料到他义父母死后遗下来的空屋,这几天中竟然有人居住,而且所住的更是段誉的旧识。 他再上少林寺时,寺中纷扰已止。萧远山和慕容博已在无名老僧佛法点化之下,皈依三宝,在少林寺出家。两人不但解仇释怨,而且成了师兄弟。 萧远山所学到的少林派武功既不致传至辽国,中原群雄便都放了心。萧峰影踪不见,十八名契丹武士在灵鹫宫庇护之下,无法加害。各路英雄见大事已了,当即纷纷告辞下山。萧峰不愿和人相见,再起争端,当下藏身在寺旁的一个山洞之中,直到傍晚,才到山门求见,要和父亲相会。 少林寺的知客僧进去禀报,过了一会,回身出来,说道:“萧施主,令尊已在本寺出家为僧。他要我转告施主,他尘缘已了,心得解脱,深感平安喜乐,今后一心学佛参禅,愿施主勿以为念。萧施主在大辽为官,只盼宋辽永息干戈。辽帝若有侵宋之意,请施主发慈悲心肠,眷顾两国千万生灵。” 萧峰合十道:“是!”心中一阵悲伤,寻思:“爹爹年事已高,今日不愿和我相见,此后只怕更无重会之期了。”又想:“我为大辽南院大王,身负南疆重寄。大宋若要侵辽,我自是调兵遣将,阻其北上,但皇上如欲发兵征宋,我自亦当极力谏阻。” 正寻思间,只听得脚步声响,寺中出来七八名老僧,却是神山上人、哲罗星等一干外来高僧。玄寂、玄生等行礼相送。那波罗星站在玄寂身后,一般的合十送客。 哲罗星道:“师弟,我西去天竺,今日一别,从此相隔万里,不知何日再得重会。你当真决意不愿回去故乡,要终老于中土么?”他以华语向师弟说话,似是防少林寺僧人起疑。波罗星微笑道:“师兄怎地仍是参悟不透?天竺即中土,中土即天竺,此便是达摩祖师东来意。”哲罗星心中一凛,说道:“师弟一言点醒。你不是我师弟,是我师父。”波罗星笑道:“入门分先后,悟道有迟早,迟也好,早也好,能参悟更好。”两人相对一笑。 萧峰避在一旁,待神山、道清、哲罗星等相偕下山,他才慢慢跟在后面。只走得几步,寺中又出来一人,却是虚竹。他见到萧峰,大喜之下,抢步走近,说道:“大哥,我正在到处找你,听说三弟受了重伤,不知伤势如何?”萧峰道:“我救了下山,安顿在一家庄稼人家里。”虚竹道:“咱们这便同去瞧瞧可好?”萧峰道:“甚好,甚好!”两人并肩而行,走出十余丈后,梅兰竹菊四姝从林中出来,跟在虚竹之后。虚竹说起,灵鹫宫诸女和七十二岛、三十六洞群豪均已下山,契丹一十八名武士与众人相偕,料想中原群豪不敢轻易相犯。萧峰当即称谢,心想:“我这个义弟来得甚奇,是三弟代我结拜而成金兰之交,不料患难之中,得他大助。” 虚竹又说起已将丁春秋交给了少林寺戒律院看管,每年端午和重阳两节,少林寺僧给他服食灵鹫宫的药丸,以解他生死符发作时的苦楚,他生死悬于人手,料来不敢为非作歹。萧峰拊掌大笑,说道:“二弟,你为武林中除去一个大害。这丁春秋在佛法陶冶之下,将来能逐步化去他的戾气,亦未可知。”虚竹愀然不乐,说道:“我想在少林寺出家,师祖、师父他们却赶了我出来。这丁春秋伤天害理,作恶多端,却能在少林寺清修,怎地我和他二人苦乐的业报如此不同?”萧峰微微一笑,说道:“二弟,你羡慕丁老怪,丁老怪可更加千倍万倍的羡慕你了。你身为灵鹫宫主人,统率三十六洞洞主、七十二岛岛主,威震天下,有何不美?”虚竹摇头道:“灵鹫宫中都是女人,我一个小和尚,处身其间,实在大大的不便。”萧峰哈哈大笑,说道:“你难道还是小和尚么?” 虚竹又道:“星宿派那些吹牛拍马之辈,又都缠住了我,不知如何打发才是。”萧峰道:“这些人也不都是天生这般,只因在星宿老怪门下,若不吹牛拍马,便难以活命。二弟,日后你严加管教,倘若他们死不肯改,一个个轰了出去便是。” 虚竹想起父亲母亲在一天之中相认,却又双双而死,更是悲伤,忍不住便滴下泪来。 萧峰安慰他道:“二弟,世上不如意事,在所多有。当年我被逐出丐帮,普天下英雄豪杰,人人欲杀我而后快,我心中自是十分难过,但过一些时日,慢慢也就好了。”虚竹忽道:“不错,不错。如来当年在王舍城灵鹫山说法,灵鹫两字,原与佛法有缘。总有一日,我要将灵鹫宫改作了灵鹫寺,教那些婆婆、嫂子、姑娘们都做尼姑。”萧峰仰天大笑,说道:“和尚寺中住的都是尼姑,那确是天下奇闻。” 两人谈谈说说,来到乔三槐屋后时,刚好碰上游坦之要挖钟灵的眼珠,幸得及时阻止。
段誉问道:“大哥、二哥,你们见到我爹爹没有?”萧峰道:“后来没再见到。”虚竹道:“混乱中群雄一哄而散,小兄没能去拜候老伯,甚是失礼。”段誉道:“二哥,不必客气。那段延庆是我家大对头,我怕他跟我爹爹为难。”萧峰道:“此事不可不虑,我便去找寻老伯,打个接应。” 阿紫道:“你口口声声老伯、小伯的,怎么不叫一声'岳父大人'?” 萧峰叹道:“这是我毕生恨事,还有甚么话好说?”说着站起身来,要走出房去。 这时梅剑端着一碗鸡汤,正进房来给段誉喝,听到了各人的言语,说道:“萧大侠,不用劳你驾去找寻,婢子这便传下主人号令,命灵鹫宫属下四周巡逻,要是见到段延庆有行凶之意,便放烟花为号,咱们前往赴援,你瞧如何?”萧峰喜道:“甚好!灵鹫宫属下千余之众,分头照看,自比我们几个人找寻好得多了。” 当下梅剑自去发施号令。灵鹫宫诸部相互联络的法子极是迅捷,虚竹一到乔三槐屋中,玄天部诸女便已得到讯息,在符敏仪率领之下,赶到附近,暗加保护。 段誉放下了心,跟着便想念起王语嫣来,寻思:“她心中恨我已极,只怕此后会面,再也不会睬我了。”言念及此,忍不住叹了口气。 钟灵甚是关怀,问道:“你伤口痛么?”段誉道:“也不大痛。” 阿紫道:“钟姑娘,你虽喜欢我小哥哥,却不明白他的心事,我瞧你这番相思,将来渺茫得紧。”钟灵道:“我又不是跟你说话,谁要你插嘴?”阿紫笑道:“我不插嘴,那不相干。我只怕有个比你美丽十倍、温柔十倍、体贴十倍的姑娘插了进来,我哥哥便再也不将你放在心上了。我哥哥为甚么叹气,你不知道么?叹气,便是心有不足。你陪着我哥哥,心里很满足了,因此就不会叹气。我哥哥却长吁短叹,当然是为了另外的姑娘。”阿紫无法挖到钟灵的眼珠,便以言语相刺,总是要她大感伤痛,这才快意。 钟灵一听之下,甚是恼怒,但想她这几句话倒也有理,恼怒之情登时变了愁闷。好在她年纪幼小,向来天真活泼,虽对段誉钟情,却不是铭心刻骨的相恋,只是觉得和他在一起相聚,心中说不出的安慰快乐,段誉心中念着别人,不大理睬自己,自是颇为难过,然而除此之外,却也不觉得如何了。 段誉忙道:“钟……钟……灵妹妹,你别听阿紫瞎说。” 钟灵听段誉叫自己为“灵妹妹”,不再叫“钟姑娘”,显得甚是亲热,登时笑逐颜开,说道:“她说话爱刺人,我才不理呢。” 阿紫却心中大怒,她眼睛瞎了之后,最恨人家提起这个“瞎”字,段誉倘若是说她“胡说”、“乱说”,她只不过一笑,偏偏他漫不经意的用了“瞎说”二字,便道:“哥哥,你到底喜欢王姑娘多些呢,还是喜欢钟姑娘多些?王姑娘跟我约好了,定于明日相会。你亲口说的话,我要当面跟她说。” 段誉一听,当即坐起,忙问:“你约了王姑娘见面?在甚么地方?甚么时候?有甚么事情商量?” 见了他如此情急模样,不用他再说甚么话,钟灵自也知道在他心目之中,那个王姑娘比之自己不知要紧多少倍。她性子爽朗,先前心中一阵难过,到这时已淡了许多。倘若王语嫣和她易地而处,得知自己意中人移情别恋,自必凄然欲绝;木婉清多半是立即一箭向段誉射去;阿紫则是设法去将王语嫣害死。钟灵却道:“别起身,小心伤口破裂,又会流血。” 虚竹在侧旁观三人情状,寻思:“钟姑娘对三弟如此一往情深,多半不是我的梦姑。否则她听到我的说话声,岂有脸上毫无异状之理?”但转念一想,心中又道:“啊哟,不对!童姥师伯、李秋水师叔,以及余婆、石嫂、符姑娘等等这一帮女子,个个心眼儿甚多,跟我们男子汉大不相同。说不定钟姑娘便是梦姑,早已认了我出来,却丝毫不动声色,将我蒙在鼓里。” 段誉仍在催问阿紫,她明日与王语嫣约定在何处相见。阿紫见他如此情急,心下盘算如何戏弄他一番,说不定还可捡些便宜,当下只是顺口敷衍。 兰剑进来回报,说道玄天部已将号令传出,请段誉放心。段誉说道:“多谢姊姊费心,在下感激不尽。”兰剑见他以大理国王子之尊,言语态度绝无半分架子,对他颇有好感,听他又向阿紫询问明日之约,忍不住插口道:“段公子,你妹子在跟你开玩笑呢,你却也当作了真的。”段誉道:“姊姊怎知舍妹跟我开玩笑?”兰剑笑道:“我要是说了出来,段姑娘定然怪我多口,也不知主人许是不许。” 段誉忙向虚竹道:“二哥,你要她说罢!” 虚竹点了点头,向兰剑道:“三弟和我不分彼此,你们甚么事都不必隐瞒。” 兰剑道:“刚才我们见到慕容公子一行人下少室山去,听到他们商量着要到西夏去,王姑娘跟了她表哥同行,这会儿早在数十里之外了。明日又怎么能跟段姑娘相会?” 阿紫啐道:“臭丫头!明知我要怪你多口,你偏偏又说了出来。你们四姊妹们都是一般的快嘴快舌,主人家在这里说话,你们好没规矩,却来插嘴。” 忽然窗外一个少女声音说道:“段姑娘,你为甚么骂我姊姊?灵鹫宫中神农阁的钥匙是我管的,你知不知道?主人要找寻给你治眼的法门,非到神农阁去寻书、觅药不可。”说话的正是竹剑。 阿紫心中一凛:“这臭丫头说的只怕果是实情,在虚竹这死和尚给我治好眼睛之前,可不能得罪他身边的丫头,否则她们捣起蛋来,暗中将药物掉换上几样,我的眼睛可糟糕了。哼,哼!我眼睛一治好,总要教你们知道我的手段。”当下默不作声。 段誉向兰剑道:“多谢姊姊告知。他们到西夏去?却又为了甚么?” 兰剑道:“我没听到他们说去干甚么。” 虚竹道:“三弟,这一节我却知道。我听得公冶先生向丐帮诸长老说道:他们在途中遇到一位从西夏回归中土的丐帮弟子,揭到一张西夏国国王的榜文,说道该国公主已到了婚配的年纪,定八月中秋招婿。西夏以弓马立国,是以邀请普天下英雄豪杰,同去显演武功,以备国王选择才貌双全之士,招为驸马。” 梅剑忍不住抿嘴说道:“主人,你为甚么不到西夏去试试?只要萧大侠和段公子不来跟你争夺,你做西夏国的驸马爷可说是易如反掌。” 梅兰竹菊四姝天性娇憨,童姥待她们犹如亲生的小辈一般,虽有主仆之名,实则便似祖孙。只是童姥性子严峻,稍不如意,重罚立至,四姊妹倒还战战兢兢的不敢放肆。虚竹却随和之极,平时和她们相处,非但没半分主人尊严,对她们简直还恭而敬之,是以四姊妹想到甚么便说甚么,没有丝毫顾忌。 虚竹连连摇手,说道:“不去,不去!我一个出家……”顺口又要把“出家人”三字说出来,总算最后一个“人”字咽回腹中。房里的梅剑、兰剑,房外的竹剑、菊剑却已同时笑了出来。虚竹脸上一红,转头偷眼向钟灵瞧去,只见她怔怔的望着段誉,对自己的话似乎全没留意。他心下蓦地一动:“到西夏去,我……我和梦姑,是在西夏灵州皇宫的冰窖之中相会的,梦姑此刻说不定尚在灵州,三弟既不肯说她住在哪里,我何不到西夏去打听打听?” 他心中这么想,段誉却也说道:“二哥,你灵鹫宫和西夏国相近,反正要回去,何不便往西夏国走一遭?这位不知道是甚么剑的姊姊……对不起,你们四位相貌一模一样,我实在分不出来……这位姊姊要你去做驸马爷,虽是说笑,但想到了八月中秋之日,四方豪杰毕集灵州,定是十分热闹。大哥,你也不必急急忙忙的赶回南京啦,咱们同到西夏玩玩,然后再到灵鹫宫去尝一尝天山童姥的百年
