Chapter 29 The twenty-eighth time there is a female companion

September fourteenth.The earth king uses things, Qu Xing.It is advisable to take a bath and avoid traveling.Chonghushanan, sunny. dusk. There is a tea booth beside the official road. Not every tea kiosk only serves tea, some tea kiosks also have wine; tea is free, but wine has to be bought. There are four kinds of wine in this tea booth, all of which are cheap and bad wines, and most of them are spirits.In addition to wine, of course there are cheap foods, such as dried tofu, braised eggs, steamed buns, and peanuts. There are some long benches under the shade of the trees around the tea pavilion, and many people have already been sitting on the benches, with their feet crossed, drinking wine and peeling peanuts.

Fu Hongxue, on the other hand, was watching other people peeling peanuts, and seemed to be fascinated by it.Some people are pairing wine with peanuts and dried beans, and some are pairing peanuts and dried beans with steamed buns.Peanuts and dried tofu are like talking about cross talk, they must be paired together to be interesting, and separated will be bland.But he only wanted dried tofu and refused peanuts.It seems that peanuts can only be seen, not eaten. Cui Nong couldn't help but whispered: "Are you still thinking about that person?" Fu Hongxue kept his mouth shut. Cui Nong said: "Just because he likes to eat peanuts, so you don't eat them?"

Fu Hongxue still kept his mouth shut. Cui Nong sighed, "I know..." Fu Hongxue suddenly said, "What do you know?" Cui Nong said: "When your illness broke out, you didn't want to be seen by others, but he saw it anyway, so you hate him." Fu Hongxue closed his mouth again, very tightly, just as tightly as his hand holding the knife.Apart from him, few people here carry knives.Maybe because of this knife, everyone avoided him and sat far away. Cui Nong sighed again, and said: "September 15th, Baiyun Village, why did he go to Baiyun Village on September 15th? I really don't understand..."

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "There are many things you don't understand." Cui Nong said: "But I can't think about it." Fu Hongxue said, "What do you think?" Cui Nong said: "He must have no good intentions to ask us to go, so I don't understand why you must go anyway." Fu Hongxue said, "No one wants you to go." Cui Nong lowered her head, bit her lip, and stopped talking.She could no longer speak, nor did she dare to speak again. Beside the official road outside the tea pavilion, several carts and mules and horses were parked.Most of the people who come here are people who sell their labor. Apart from drinking a few glasses of wine, there is not much fun in life.After a few glasses of wine, the world immediately becomes much more beautiful.

A dark and strong young man just got out of his cart and walked in. After greeting a few partners with a smile, he greeted the boss here and shouted: "Deaf Wang, give me five catties of wine, cut ten A braised egg, today I want to treat you." Deaf Wang is actually not deaf, but he becomes deaf when someone wants to owe money. He squinted his eyes, looked at the young man, and said coldly: "Are you crazy?" The young man stared and said, "Who says I'm crazy?" Wang Deaf said: "If you are not crazy, what kind of guests should you invite?" The young man said: "Today I made a small fortune and met a generous guest."

He pretended to be mysterious and smiled, and said: "Bringing this person up, he is really famous." So everyone couldn't help but rushed to ask: "Who is this person?" The young man smiled again, shook his head and said, "If I tell you, you may not have heard of it." "What is this nonsense?" "Since Dadi is famous, why haven't we heard of it?" "Because you are not worthy." "We don't deserve it, do you?" "I wouldn't have heard of it if I hadn't had a cousin who worked in the bodyguard bureau."

"You don't have to be a fool, okay? What's the last name of that person? What's his name?" The young man lifted his muddy feet and said leisurely, "His surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Xiaojia." Fu Hongxue had already stood up to leave, but suddenly sat down again. Fortunately, no one else paid attention to him, they were all asking, "What does Lu Xiaojia do here?" "It's an assassin." He deliberately lowered his voice, but the voice was just enough for everyone to hear. "assassin?" "The assassin means that as long as you give him money, he will kill for you. It is said that he needs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to kill a person."

Everyone's eyes widened and they could barely breathe. "The head of the bodyguard agency of my cousin was killed by him." "You mean the uncle Deng who just had a funeral in the first half of the year?" "That's right. On the day he left for the funeral, you all went. Everyone got five taels of silver, didn't they?" "Well, the style was really not small that day." "So you should be able to see that he was of course a very remarkable person when he was alive, but when he met this Uncle Lu, he was stabbed through his throat with a sword before he even drew his knife."

"How did you know?" "My cousin saw it with his own eyes, and it was because he told me about Uncle Lu's appearance as soon as he returned, so I recognized him today—not the person who recognized him, but the person who recognized him. took his sword." "What's so special about his sword?" "His sword has no scabbard, and it looks like a piece of broken metal, but my cousin told me that he never saw such a terrible sword in his life." Everyone was amazed, but still a little skeptical. "People can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver by killing someone. How could they get in your broken car?"

"His horseshoe was worn out. I happened to pass by. He gave me twenty taels for the short distance from Qinghe Town to Baiyun Village." "It seems that your kid's fortune is really good." Everyone was surprised, sighed, and a little envious: "If you don't eat for nothing, if we don't eat his three or five taels of silver today, how can this kid sleep when he goes back?" Suddenly a person said: "If you want to treat guests, you must invite me." The man was lying on the ground under the shade of a tree behind him, covering his face with a big Malianpo straw hat that was torn down to the brim.

Not only is his hat torn, but his clothes are also dirty and torn. It seems that he can't even drink wine, so he can only lie there and sleep. Some people frowned and muttered: "Please, why should you?" But the young man smiled and said: "We are brothers all over the world, so it's okay to invite you. Since you want to drink, friend, please get up." The man said coldly: "Although I drink your wine, I am not your friend. You'd better remember." He pushed his hat on his head and stood up lazily. He turned out to be a burly man with a height of eight feet. His shoulders were almost twice as wide as an ordinary person. A pair of big palm-like hands hung down, almost covering the Knees, high cheekbones on the face, two broom-like thick eyebrows, and a big mouth. Although the clothes he was wearing were dirty and torn, but this time he stood up, he was majestic and majestic, making people frightened. Someone already wanted to teach him a lesson, asking him why he drank other people's wine, but refused to admit that he was a friend. How can anyone dare to speak now. As soon as Deaf Wang brought out five catties of wine and ten marinated eggs, the man walked over and said, "This is mine." What he said seemed to be an order, simple and crisp.He grabbed two eggs, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them in three mouthfuls.Eat two eggs, drink a sip of wine, five catties of wine and ten eggs are eaten in the blink of an eye.Everyone watched from the side, their eyeballs almost fell off. After he drank the last sip of wine, he finally stopped to take a breath, stroked his stomach lazily, and said, "One more like this." Deaf Wang was startled again, and lost his voice: "Another order?" The big man lowered his face and said sharply, "Can't you hear what I'm saying?" This loud shout was like a thunderbolt struck in mid-air, even the deaf man's ears would be shattered. The young man was sitting on the stool next to him with his feet crossed, but he was so frightened that he fell down.The big man stretched out his big palm-like hand and picked him up from the ground like a chicken. He suddenly grinned at him and said, "What are you afraid of? Afraid of a treat?" It's okay if he doesn't smile, but when he smiles, his mouth almost reaches to the base of his ears, he looks like the evil Vajra ghost in the temple. The young man's face turned pale with fright, he stammered, "I...I..." The big man said: "If you don't invite me, I will." He casually took out an ingot of silver, which turned out to be a big ingot of fifty taels of ingot.The boy's eyes narrowed again. The big man said: "This ingot of silver is all yours, but tomorrow morning, you have to wait here and take me to Baiyunzhuang. If you dare to miss my business, your head will become like this ingot. Like silver." As soon as he exerted force on his hand, the silver in his hand was squeezed like a lump of mud. As soon as the young man stood up, he was so frightened that he stumbled and fell down again.The big man looked up and laughed, threw the money in front of the young man, and walked away without looking back. Although he was not walking fast, he took four or five feet in one step, and disappeared into the twilight in the blink of an eye, only to hear a tragic and desolate song coming from the autumn wind: "September and fifteenth are at the head, When the moon is on its head, blood can flow, endless tears of heroes, Can't kill the head of the enemy..." The singing became farther and farther away, and finally could not be heard. Fu Hongxue lost his mind for a while in a daze, then suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "What an inexhaustible enemy!" morning.The east is just showing a white belly, and the earth is still sleeping.There was no one in the tea pavilion anymore, Deaf Wang didn't sleep here at night, only the young man's cart was still parked under the tree, and his men curled up in the cart and fell asleep. He was afraid that if he was late, that ferocious man would crush his head into mud. The wind is very cold, the land is vast, and a cock crow has just been heard in the distance. A person walked slowly from Xi Wei's dawn, his left foot took a step first, and his right leg followed. A slender and beautiful woman, carrying a bundle in her hand, followed behind him with her head down. The wind blows the leaves, and the morning mist has just risen. The fog is also cold. Cold fog, dawn wind, waning moon. Fu Hongxue stopped on the tea booth and looked back at Cui Nong. Cui Nong's face was also pale, although she tightened her clothes, she was still shivering from the cold. In the mist, she looked more beautiful, but she looked tired and haggard. Fu Hongxue looked at her quietly, his indifferent eyes gradually becoming gentle, he couldn't help but sighed softly, and said, "You're tired." Cui Nong said softly: "It should be you who are tired, you should have slept a little longer." Fu Hongxue said: "I can't sleep, but you..." Cui Nong lowered her head and smiled sweetly, "You can't sleep, how can I sleep?" Fu Hongxue couldn't help but walked over and took her hand. Her hands are cold. Fu Hongxue said sadly: "Until I find Ma Kongqun, I absolutely cannot go back, and I have no face to go back." Cui Nong said: "I know." Fu Hongxue said: "That's why I only want you to accompany me through hardships." Cui Nong raised her head, stared at him, and said softly: "You should know that I am not afraid of hardships, I have endured all kinds of hardships." She took Fu Hongxue's hand, pressed it to her face, and said softly, "As long as you treat me better and don't look down on me, even if you call me dead, I'm willing." Fu Hongxue sighed again, and said, "I really didn't treat you well, and I know it myself, so even if you really left that day, I wouldn't blame you." Cui Nong said: "But how can I leave? Even if you use a whip to drive me away, I won't leave." Fu Hongxue suddenly laughed. His smile is like the sunshine on the ice, it looks extraordinarily bright and brilliant. Seeing his smile, Cui Nong seemed a little crazy, and after a long time, she sighed and said, "Do you know what I like the most?" Fu Hongxue shook his head. Cui Nong said: "I like to see your smile the most, but you always refuse to smile." Fu Hongxue said softly: "I will always laugh for you, but, now..." Cui Nong said, "Isn't it time to laugh?" Fu Hongxue nodded slowly, then changed the subject suddenly, "Why hasn't that person come yet?" He always seemed reluctant to show his emotions too much, as if he would rather be seen as a cruel person. Cui Nong sighed in disappointment, forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I don't think he won't come." Fu Hongxue pondered, and said, "What kind of person do you think he is?" Cui Nong said: "I think he must be Lu Xiaojia's enemy, since it is known that Lu Xiaojia is in Baiyun Village, why doesn't he go?" Fu Hongxue raised his head, looked at Xiaoyue who was about to disappear in the cold mist, and murmured: "Today is already the fifteenth day of September, what will happen today?..." There was a wind blowing, and a sudden singing came faintly with the wind: "The inexhaustible blood of heroes, The head of the inexhaustible enemy, Heads can be broken, blood can flow, Hatred is hard to stop..." The singing sounds more desolate and tragic in this sad autumn morning. Cui Nong was moved and said, "Sure enough, it's here." Fu Hongxue said, "Yes." Cui Nong said: "Should we hide for a while?" Fu Hongxue said coldly: "I never run away, and I never hide." I only heard someone laughing in the distance, saying: "What a man who never escapes, never hides, this is the real man." Cui Nong sighed, and smiled wryly, "This man's ears are so sharp." As soon as this sentence was finished, the big man walked up to them with big strides. He was still wearing the big old straw hat on his head, but he had a shiny black wine gourd in his hand. He looked at Fu Hongxue and laughed. Said: "It really is you, I knew you would definitely wait here." Fu Hongxue said, "You know?" The big man said: "I don't know who knows?" He raised his face, brought the wine gourd to his mouth, and drank a few gulps, then suddenly his face sank, and he said sharply, "Since I'm here, why don't you do it?" Fu Hongxue was startled, and said, "Why did I do it?" The big man said: "Come and take the head on my neck." Fu Hongxue said: "Why should I take your head?" The big man looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Xue Guo has killed countless people all over the world, who doesn't want my big head?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't want to." This time it was the big man who was stunned. Fu Hongxue said, "I don't recognize you at all." The big man sneered and said: "Although Xue Guo's enemies are all over the world, I have already killed all those who recognized me. Those who can still come to kill me alive are left with some who don't recognize me." Fu Hongxue said, "Do you often wait for others to kill you?" The big man said: "Not bad." Fu Hongxue said flatly: "It's a pity that you will be disappointed this time." The big man frowned and said, "Aren't you here waiting to kill me?" Fu Hongxue said: "I have sworn to kill people and never wait." The big man said: "You're right. The chance to kill someone is fleeting. It's a pity to miss it. I really can't wait!" Fu Hongxue said coldly: "So if you are my enemy, I would have killed you last night!" The big man said: "So I am not your enemy?" Fu Hongxue said, "No." The big man suddenly laughed again, and said: "It seems that I am lucky. It seems that being your enemy is not a pleasant thing." Fu Hongxue said, "Absolutely not." The big man said, "How about being your friend?" Fu Hongxue said, "I have no friends." The big man said: "Even Xue Dahan can't be your friend?" Fu Hongxue said, "Dahan Xue?" The big man smiled and said, "I am Xue Dahan." Fu Hongxue said, "I still don't recognize you." Xue Dahan said: "You don't want to recognize me either?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't want to." Xue Dahan sighed again, and murmured: "Neither want my head, nor want to be my friend, this kind of person is very rare." Fu Hongxue said: "It's very rare in the first place." Xue Dahan said: "What do you want?" Fu Hongxue said: "I just want to follow your cart to Baiyunzhuang." Xue Dahan said: "That's it?" Fu Hongxue said, "That's it." Xue Dahan said: "Okay, get in the car." Fu Hongxue said, "I won't get in the car." Xue Dahan was stunned again, and said, "Why don't you get in the car again?" Fu Hongxue said, "Because I don't have fifty taels of silver to pay for the car." Xue Dahan said: "Are you going to follow the car?" Fu Hongxue said: "You take your car, I go my way, we have nothing to do with each other." Xue Dahan looked at him, looked at his pale face, and his pitch-black knife, and couldn't help sighing: "You are such a weird person, even weirder than me!" He was indeed an oddball. It was getting brighter. The rising sun, like a knife, cut through the veil-like cold mist, and the life on the earth has begun to wake up. The boy is still awake. Xue Dahan strode over, grabbed him, and said loudly: "Get up quickly, drive to Baiyunzhuang." The young man rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with a smile: "Master, please get in the car." Xue Dahan said: "Uncle won't get in the car." The young man was startled, and said, "Why don't you get in the car?" Xue Dahan said: "Because the uncle is happy." Although this young man is young and has been driving for six or seven years, he has never seen such a person.He obviously spent money to hire a car, but he was willing to walk behind the car.But as long as the uncle is happy, no one can control him even if he wants to crawl behind. Although the young man felt strange, he felt relieved.He drove the car ahead, and there were actually three people following behind him—a fierce man, a pale lame man, and a graceful beauty. Such a group of people walking on the road, who can not take a few more glances. But Xue Dahan was complacent, and he didn't care at all what others thought of him. Fu Hongxue was full of worries and went his own way, as if he didn't belong to this world at all.Cui Nong's eyes didn't even look like anyone else's. In front of Fu Hongxue, she didn't even look at anyone else. The young man driving the car couldn't help muttering in his heart, he really couldn't figure out why these three people wanted to go to Baiyunzhuang.Baiyunzhuang was not a place for people like them to go. Xue Dahan drank a few sips of wine, suddenly rushed to catch up with the cart, and said: "We are not rushing to the funeral, can you slow down?" The young man smiled and said, "Okay, of course." The one who hired a car was not in a hurry, and of course he was even less in a hurry. Xue Dahan himself also slowed down his pace, and said: "Baiyunzhuang is not far away, anyway, I can definitely arrive today." He obviously said these words for Fu Hongxue, but Fu Hongxue didn't seem to hear them. Xue Dahan had landed beside him, and asked again: "But I don't know what you are doing at Baiyun Village?" Fu Hongxue still couldn't hear it. Xue Dahan said: "Do you recognize Yuan Qiuyun?" Fu Hongxue finally couldn't help asking: "Who is Yuan Qiuyun?" Xue Dahan said: "It is the owner of Baiyun Village." Fu Hongxue said, "I don't know." Xue Dahan smiled and said: "You don't even recognize Xue Dahan, so of course you don't recognize Yuan Qiuyun." Fu Hongxue said, "You recognize him?" Xue Dahan said: "How could I recognize that old antique?" Fu Hongxue was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "You only know Lu Xiaojia?" Xue Dahan said movedly: "How do you know that I recognize him?" He suddenly shook his head again, sighed and said, "Of course you know, no matter who you are, you should be able to see that I'm looking for him." Fu Hongxue said, "Why are you looking for him?" Xue Dahan sneered and said: "I don't do anything, I just want to cut off his head and kick him into the gutter." Fu Hongxue said, "Is he your enemy?" Xue Dahan said: "It wasn't originally." He took another two sips of wine and said, "So he was my friend." Fu Hongxue said, "Friend?" Xue Dahan gritted his teeth and said: "Friends are sometimes scarier than enemies, scarier, especially a friend like him." Fu Hongxue said, "Have you ever been tricked by him?" Xue Dahan said bitterly: "I gave him all my belongings and my favorite woman, but he slipped away, taking all my belongings and my woman." Fu Hongxue frowned, and said, "It seems that he is not such a person." Xue Dahan said in a deep voice: "It's because he doesn't look like that, so I trust him." Fu Hongxue was silent for a long while, then said calmly, "Friends are indeed scarier than enemies sometimes." Xue Dahan said: "You have never had any friends?" Fu Hongxue said, "No." Xue Dahan sighed, and drank his wine in big gulps. After a long time, Fu Hongxue suddenly said again: "You didn't have to accompany me." Xue Dahan said: "It's true, we can sit in the car together." Fu Hongxue didn't speak anymore. After walking for a while, Xue Dahan suddenly handed over the wine gourd and said, "Have a drink?" Fu Hongxue said, "Don't drink." Xue Dahan said: "You never drink alcohol?" Fu Hongxue said: "Never drink." Xue Dahan said: "What about gambling?" Fu Hongxue said: "Never gamble." Xue Dahan said: "What do you like to do?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't like anything." Xue Dahan sighed: "If a person doesn't like anything, can he still have fun in life?" Fu Hongxue said: "I didn't live for fun." Xue Dahan said: "What are you living for?" Fu Hongxue gripped his knife tightly, and said word by word: "For revenge." Looking at his pale face, Xue Dahan couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that being your enemy is really not a pleasant thing." Fu Hongxue lowered his head, looked at the knife in his hand, and fell silent again. Xue Dahan's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively, "Do you also recognize Lu Xiaojia?" Fu Hongxue said, "I've only seen him before." Xue Dahan said: "How did you meet?" Fu Hongxue said, "He wants to kill me." Xue Dahan was moved and said: "What happened later?" Fu Hongxue said flatly: "Afterwards he left." Xue Dahan said: "You just let him go?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't want to kill him...the only person I want to kill is one." Xue Dahan said: "Your enemy?" Fu Hongxue nodded. Xue Dahan said: "You have only one enemy?" Fu Hongxue said, "Now I only know one." Xue Dahan sighed and said, "Your luck is better than mine." Fu Hongxue also heaved a long sigh suddenly, and said, "Actually, your luck is better than mine." Xue Dahan said: "Why?" Fu Hongxue said: "If there are endless enemies to kill, it would be a quick life, but it's a pity that I..." There was pain in his eyes, and he said sadly: "It's a pity that I can't even find that enemy." Xue Dahan said: "Who is your enemy?" Fu Hongxue said, "You don't need to know." Xue Dahan's eyes flashed, and he said, "But I might be able to help you find him." Fu Hongxue pondered, and finally said: "His surname is Ma, Ma Kongqun." Xue Dahan shrugged: "The master of Wanmatang?" Fu Hongxue was also shocked, and said, "You recognize him!" Xue Dahan shook his head, did not answer this sentence, but murmured: "It's no wonder you are going to Baiyunzhuang!" Fu Hongxue said, "What's the relationship between Baiyun Village and Wanmatang?" Xue Dahan said: "It didn't exist in the first place." Fu Hongxue said, "What about now?" Xue Dahan said: "Don't you really know what day it is today?" Fu Hongxue said, "How would I know?" Xue Dahan said: "You didn't receive the post either?" Fu Hongxue said, "Who posted it?" Xue Dahan said: "Of course it is Baiyun Village, today is the day when their young master is very happy." Fu Hongxue said, "I don't recognize him either." Xue Dahan said: "But you must recognize the bride." Fu Hongxue said, "Who is the bride?" Xue Dahan said: "It's Ma Kongqun's daughter, I heard it's called Ma Fangling." Fu Hongxue's expression changed. Xue Dahan pondered, and said: "So Ma Kongqun must also go to Baiyun Village today." Before finishing these words, Fu Hongxue jumped onto the carriage. As soon as he used his lightness kung fu, his movements suddenly became as fast as an arrow, and no one could see that he was crippled anymore. Xue Dahan looked at him with deep thought in his eyes, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "It really is a good skill!" At this time, Fu Hongxue had already jumped onto the front seat of the carriage, grabbed the young man's whip, and whipped it down on the horse's belly. The carriage has already left in the dust, leaving Xue Dahan and Cui Nong behind. Cui Nong lowered her head, tears seemed to burst out of her eyes. Xue Dahan suddenly smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't let him leave you behind." In the sound of the voice, he had already taken great strides to catch up with the carriage, and within five or six steps, he had already caught up with the carriage. He stretched out his hand and pulled the shaft of the carriage. The horse pulling the cart neighed long, and the man stood up, but the cart and horse were pulled by him forcefully, unable to move half a step forward. Xue Dahan turned back and smiled at Cui Nong, saying, "Please get in the car." Cui Nong finally raised her head, and said softly: "That woman shouldn't have left you to go with Lu Xiaojia, you are a gentleman." Xue Dahan sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that gentlemen are no longer popular in front of women these days."
