Chapter 41 The forty-first chapter wandering the rivers and lakes

Outside the door is a corridor, and at the end of the corridor there is a hut with a fire, and a pot of water is burning on the fire. The old man is squatting by the pot, waiting for the water to boil.He squatted there motionless, looking so peaceful and peaceful. How long had he "waited" in his life?How long we have to wait?For "waiting", he naturally has more patience than young people. Jiang Biehe sternly said, "Very well, you're pretending to be a good one, but no matter what, I still want your life!" He leaped over with one step, and slammed his palm down on the old man's door.

But the old man raised his head, smiled at him, and pointed to the kettle on the stove, as if saying, "When the water boils, I'll make tea for you." Finally, Jiang Biehe's palm only lightly landed on his shoulder.If the old man heard a word he said, how could his smile be so serene? The faint starlight shone on Hua Wuque's face, it was really a flawless face.This is what the prince charming that girls all over the world imagine in their dreams should look like. Xiao Yu'er looked at him, and suddenly smiled and said: "You know, you've got the name 'Wu Que' really well, and you really have no regrets... You were born in the most famous holy land of martial arts in the world, you're young and handsome, Regardless of money, your martial arts can make everyone in the rivers and lakes respect you, your beauty, style of conversation and charm can make every girl in the world fall in love with you, and your reputation is also impeccable, making people even I can't scold you behind your back."

He shook his head and said with a smile: "If there is really a perfect person in the world, that person is you." Hua Wuque smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Yu'er said leisurely: "But I suddenly realized that you still lack emotion. You are completely emotionless, and the blood that bleeds on your body is probably cold." Hua Wuque smiled faintly and said, "Really?" Xiao Yu'er said loudly: "Aren't you convinced? Well, let me ask you, do you really know what is love and what is hate? Have you ever tasted the taste of love? The taste of hate?"

He walked forward step by step, and continued: "You don't even have troubles, old age, sickness, depression, poverty, disappointment, sadness, shame, anger... These are the pains that all human beings cannot avoid! But you Nothing at all... how can a person who is completely free from pain really know the taste of joy." He sighed, and continued slowly: "You have never really loved anyone, nor really hated anyone, you have no pain, no joy... Others may envy you, but I think you are really worth living What's the meaning." Hua Wuque was silent for a while, his expression was still so peaceful, there was absolutely no change, he just smiled lightly, and said: "Maybe what you said is right, I'm afraid it's also caused by my childhood environment."

Xiao Yu'er smiled wryly and said, "That's right, only the 'Yihua Palace' can create a person like you, turning you into a living wooden man. Although you are courteous to everyone, you never think that they are worth it. Respect, although you are gentle and considerate to every girl, you definitely don't really like them." He sighed again, and said: "Even if you want to kill someone, you don't necessarily think that he deserves to be killed." Hua Wuque sighed: "This is indeed very regrettable." Xiao Yu'er looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "Okay, now that I've finished speaking, you can just do it, I want to see, how many moves you can kill me!"

Hua Wuque said, "Do you want to use weapons?" Xiao Yu'er said: "I don't have any weapons." Hua Wuque said softly: "If you want to use weapons, I can accompany you to a place with weapons and let you choose one." Xiao Yu'er smiled bitterly and said: "You clearly know that even if I have weapons, I am not your opponent. You clearly want to kill me, but you still treat me so politely. If others would definitely think you are a sinister person, but I Know you're not, because you can't even be fake, because you don't have to be fake."

Hua Wuque said, "You really know me very well." Xiao Yu'er said: "If you want to find someone who understands you so well, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Xiao Yu'er wiped his dry lips, and said: "I don't want to use weapons, you can do it." Hua Wuque looked up.As the autumn wind blows, a dead leaf flutters down, the starlight fades, and the earth is full of desolation. He sighed, and said leisurely: "This kind of weather..." Xiao Yu'er continued: "The weather like this is really suitable for killing people." Suddenly Tie Xinlan said coldly: "This kind of weather only makes me feel very cold..."

She walked over suddenly, and her body was completely naked. Starlight softly sprinkled her whole body. There is absolutely no way in the world to find anything more beautiful and dazzling than this naked girl's body, it is simply breathtakingly beautiful.For an instant, both Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque stopped breathing. Hua Wuque tremblingly said: "You...you..." Tie Xinlan turned to face him, and said leisurely, "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Her undulating chest looked so pale under the moonlight. Hua Wuque closed his eyes involuntarily, and said: "You...why did you..." Just as he closed his eyes, Tie Xinlan rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

Hua Wuque only felt a cold, silky body wrap around his body, his heart beat suddenly and violently, and his limbs trembled. He had never felt this way in his life, he felt as if he was going to faint, burst...he didn't know what to do. Tie Xinlan tremblingly said: "Dead man, you... are you still standing here?" Xiao Yu'er stood there, as if in a daze. Tie Xinlan hissed: "You're like this...you still not leaving?" Tears suddenly flowed from Xiao Yu'er's eyes. This was almost the first time in his life that he shed tears, and he didn't know that they were tears of gratitude?Is it sad tears?Is it tears of anger?Or tears of shame?

Hua Wuque's hand didn't dare to touch Tie Xinlan's body at all, and naturally she couldn't get rid of her, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, she could only keep saying: "Let go... let go..." Tie Xinlan also burst into tears, and said: "You... If you don't leave, I will die in front of you!" Xiao Yu'er said: "I...I..." He took one last look at Tie Xinlan - that innocent and pure body was covered with tears, which he would never forget.With a roar, he turned his head and ran like crazy. Xiao Yu'er is like a wounded beast, running wildly in the wilderness in this autumn night, he doesn't know how far he has run, let alone where he has gone?

He has no more tears to shed, his heart is as disturbed as his hair.Never in his life had he been so miserable, so disturbed. The ears of rice in the paddy fields have grown, like the waves of the sea in the evening wind.Xiao Yuer ran into the middle of a rice field and lay down under the starlight. The mud of the water soaked his body, and the starlight looked out from the ears of rice, which seemed more distant, more erratic, and more elusive. He asked himself secretly: "Can I be considered a human being? "I think that no one can compare to me, I look down on anyone, but when someone wants to kill me, I can't even do anything. "I look down on women, especially Tie Xinlan, just because I know she loves me, so I try to order her to be sad, but in the end she has to sacrifice herself to save me! "I thought I was the most intelligent person in the world, but at this moment I was being chased like a dog, running away with my tail between my legs like a dog. "Although I escaped this time, do I have to run like this for the rest of my life? Do I have to wait for others to save me in my life? "That's right, Hua Wuque's strategy may not be as good as mine, but why should a person like him use any more tricks? It's because he has real skills. "But I... I just want to rely on intelligence and luck... If a person has only intelligence but no ability, then what's the use? "I thought that even the people in the 'Valley of the Wicked' were afraid of me, so I thought it was great, but I didn't know that they were afraid of me, just like parents are afraid of a naughty child. If I really do it, I can beat it Du Jiaojiao? Li Dazui? 'Bloody Hand' Du Sha?..." Xiao Yu'er just lay in the paddy field, thinking over and over again. Xiao Yu'er finally got up, his body was covered with mud, his face was also covered with mud, he didn't care, just walked along the field ridge. There are fireworks in front of it, as if it is a village market.In the open space next to a small inn, a group of people gathered together, the gongs and drums inside were beating "ding dong", and the big red paper lanterns were also shaking in the wind. This is naturally a troupe that wanders the rivers and lakes. Xiao Yu'er walked to the front and squatted down.A girl in a red dress with two braids and big eyes was walking the rope.In addition, there are a few people, big and small, old and young, some are dancing knives, some are somersaulting, some are beating gongs, and some are beating drums. Xiao Yu'er just squatted there, he didn't watch what was going on in front of him, he just felt very depressed, he just wanted to see people's smiles.After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely felt someone cheering, someone clapping their hands, and the tinkling of copper coins falling on the ground. Then the crowd dispersed, the gangsters were cleaning up the guys, but the girl in red was like a princess, just sitting there drinking water.She frowned and glanced at Xiao Yu'er, her big eyes were shining, she suddenly took out a copper plate from her bosom, threw it in front of Xiao Yu'er, and immediately turned her head away. The troupe also left, and the little girl in red walked past Xiao Yu'er with her head held high, she stretched out her foot and kicked lightly, and kicked the copper plate to Xiao Yu'er's feet as if she didn't care. Such kind people, seeing the poverty of others, forget their own difficulties. The adults are laughing, discussing how much meat and wine they can buy with today’s harvest, as for tomorrow—tomorrow is another day, they don’t need to worry about tomorrow, even if there are unfortunate things tomorrow, even if there is no food, Let's wait until tomorrow to worry about it, let's talk about it after drinking today. What kind of open-minded people these are—what Xiao Yuer is thinking about at this moment is precisely this kind of day where there is only "today" and no "tomorrow". He picked up the copper coin and followed them.Not far ahead is the river bank, and a boat parked beside the river bank is their home. A bearded old man in blue cloth clothes with his skirts open and his copper chest exposed was instructing to carry the weapon guy onto the boat. Although he must be over sixty years old, his body is still as strong as a boy's. Although his life is poor, his expression has a sense of majesty. This must be the master of the troupe. Xiao Yu'er rushed over suddenly, bowed respectfully, and said, "Old man, may I follow you to the rivers and lakes too?" The old man glanced at him, smiled, shook his head and said, "Traveling the rivers and lakes is not fun, you have to be capable and not afraid of hardship." Xiao Yu'er thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of suffering, I can do somersaults." The old man laughed loudly and said, "Somersaults? Who in our business can't do somersaults, and somersaults are the easiest thing to do... Ye Xiaozi, just turn a few and let him see." A sturdy young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came out with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, and did somersaults seven or eight times without making any gestures. Xiao Yuer blinked and said, "How many times can you turn at most?" The wild calf laughed and said, "About twenty or thirty." Xiao Yu'er said: "But I can flip one or two hundred." The old man smiled and said: "Oh! I saw one person who could turn eighty somersaults in one breath when I was young, and that was Boss Li of the Li family class. Since he was stabbed, there has been no one else." Xiao Yu'er said: "But I can turn one hundred and sixty." The old man laughed loudly and said: "If you can really do one hundred and sixty somersaults... no, as long as you can do eighty somersaults, you can eat this kind of food for a lifetime. Although there is nothing delicious, there are also wine and meat .” Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu'er was already somersaulting. He has brass muscles and iron bones, although his martial arts cannot be compared with the top experts, but it is really easier to do somersaults than to eat beans. When he turned thirty, everyone surrounded him, and when he turned sixty, everyone was cheering and cheering him on. When he turned to eighty, everyone's eyes were wide open, and they even forgot to applaud, and the big eyes of the girl in red became even brighter. Xiao Yu'er turned over a hundred times before he stopped, and said with a smile, "Is that enough?" The old man clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Enough, enough... that's enough, go to the boat with Ye Duzi. Wash your face, change your clothes, and wait for supper. From today on, you are our Hai family The class is gone." Xiao Yu'er lowered his head and said: "Not long after my parents died, I swore in front of their graves that I would mourn for them for three years. I... I swore that I would never wash my face during these three years." The old man sighed, and said: "Poor child, I never thought you would be so filial... My children call me Si Dae. From now on, you should call me Si Dae too." So Xiao Yuer stayed in the "Haijiaban" where he walked around the rivers and lakes and juggled, turning somersaults every day and living a novel but ordinary life. He now knows that almost all the people in this team are the nephews and nephews of the fourth father of Hai, and Ye Duzi is his sixth son, and he is also the one with the best kung fu.The little girl in red is the pillar of the team, her name is Hai Hongzhu, and she is the youngest daughter of Father Hai's fiftieth birthday. Beyond that, he doesn't know much. Except for somersaulting, he almost didn't care about other things. Except for eating, sleeping, and somersaulting every day, he just sat there in a daze. No one knew that when he was in a daze, he was thinking about the most mysterious tricks in martial arts, which few people in the world understand. He has already memorized the secret book of martial arts that sacrificed countless lives, he has already memorized it thoroughly, he figured it out a bit, and at night when everyone else fell asleep, he secretly practiced on the river bank where no one was around. Others only thought he was a little strange , a little silly, but no one cares about him. His somersaults are very popular, and he never wants to pay money. If he is a little strange, a little silly, or even a little lazy, others can be forgiven. Now, he is no longer the world's first smart man.Now, others call him Hai Xiaodai. Wandering people are wandering all year round, from one end of the Yangtze River to the other end, from east to west, from south to north, Xiaoyu'er doesn't know where he has been. On this day, the ship docked again.He was sitting on the side of the boat washing his feet when suddenly a small white hand stretched out from behind and handed him an orange. He took it, peeled it, and ate it without looking back.Hai Hongzhu stood behind him and waited for a long time, but he didn't look back, so she just came over, sat down beside him, took off her shoes, and washed her feet in the river. It was a pair of white, small feet, and kicked the water, splashing the little fish all over, but the little fish didn't move or speak. Hai Hongzhu glanced at him, suddenly gave a "puchi" smile, and said, "Since you ignored me, why did you eat my oranges?" Xiao Yu'er said: "I can't speak." Hai Hongzhu smiled and said, "You can't speak? Are you dumb?" Xiao Yuer said coldly: "I am not worthy to talk to you." Hai Hongzhu said softly: "You are not worthy, who said you are not worthy?..." Her big nimble eyes moved cleverly, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Others call you Xiaodai, but I know you are a smart person. Not only are you smart, but you are also much smarter than others, aren't you? " What Xiao Yu'er is most afraid of hearing now is when others say he is smart. He stood up with a frown, and turned his head to leave, but at this moment he suddenly saw a group of people, and he was immediately stunned, as if he had been nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move! On the bank of the river, there was a group of people, stepping on the green grass, walking over talking and laughing.They are wearing bright, soft spring clothes, the smiles on their faces are so cheerful and happy, the spring breeze caresses their spring clothes, the sun is so warm, and they are young! Life is lovely, what can worry them? In this happy group, there are the people that Xiao Yu'er does not want to see the most, and that is Hua Wuque, Tie Xinlan, Murong Jiumei and Jiang Yulang. Jiang Yulang was actually with them! At this moment, a group of well-dressed people are surrounding Hua Wuque, laughing with them, showing hospitality, and he is undoubtedly the center of the group. But his smile was mostly for the two beautiful girls beside him - Tie Xinlan was also smiling, her face seemed to be full of happiness. Xiao Yu'er's heart burned like a fire. It was the first time in his life that he really felt the pain of jealousy, and now he knew that the pain was so strong that it seemed to crush his heart. Hai Hongzhu looked at him strangely, then looked at this group of people, she seemed to feel Xiao Yu'er's sorrow and pain, and sighed quietly: "I know there must be many secrets in your life experience, right?" Xiao Yu'er didn't hear her at all. Now, he saw Bai Lingxiao in light green clothes again, Bai Lingxiao was chatting and laughing with Hua Wuque in a low voice, smiling happily. Strange, how could Hua Wuque endure such a vulgar and shallow person? ……Ugh!Hua Wuque could be tolerated by anyone, because he didn't look down on anyone at all. To him, all the people in the world were similar, and he didn't have to be angry with them at all. Hai Hongzhu bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "Do you know them?...I know that you belonged to their group, and never belonged to us...We are just a group of humble and pitiful people. " Xiao Yu'er gradually backed away, into the shadow under the eaves of the cabin. He noticed that Tie Xinlan seemed to be looking at him. But this was just her casual glance, how could she really pay attention to such a dirty and despicable young man. But Xiao Yu'er couldn't help paying attention to her, she had grown up a bit, like a peony in bud, both luxurious and delicate. But Murong Jiumei was even thinner, as thin as a chrysanthemum, although she was not as beautiful as a peony, she had a faint fragrance that made people intoxicated. Her eyes are also bigger, but they have lost the sharp light in the past, but changed to a hazy melancholy. Why is she melancholy? Hai Hongzhu walked up to Xiao Yu'er lightly, the melancholy in her eyes was just like Murong Jiumei's, she looked at Xiao Yu'er resentfully, and said softly: "Now I know why you ignore me, it's because I Not worthy to talk to you, is it? How can I compare with those two girls, they are so noble, and I..." Xiao Yu'er suddenly hugged her, and pressed his hot lips heavily on her lips. His blood is boiling and he needs to vent! At this moment, Hai Hongzhu felt that the world had collapsed in front of her.She closed her eyes and felt nothing. She only felt that she had thrown herself into a scorching flame, and her whole body had been burned, her whole body had melted, and her soul had also melted.At this moment, her life has been completely changed. But in the eyes of others, this is such a trivial matter that is not worth paying attention to.The people on the shore pointed, talked and laughed, and gradually went away.Xiao Yuer suddenly pushed her away and jumped out of the cabin! She was stunned there, seemingly unable to move forever, the spring breeze was still blowing very warm, but her heart began to freeze inch by inch. She still had her eyes closed and didn't dare to open them, she was afraid that the bewildering and intoxicating dream would be shattered before her eyes, but a crystal tear appeared on her long eyelashes. It is late at night, and no one knows when the night will come.Hai Hongzhu didn't even know, she knew almost nothing. The lanterns have been lit, the crowd has gathered, and Hai Sipai has started to use his unique bold laughter to say something loudly that attracts the crowd. No matter how much she has changed, life must go on.So, Hai Hongzhu jumped onto the rope again. She walked numbly on the rope, the laughter and applause of the crowd seemed to be very far away from her, very far away...just because her heart had already flown far away. That place is always bright in spring, and in that place, people can always stay with their loved ones, and never have to put on a mean smile. Xiao Yu'er squatted behind the weapon rack, his heart was already flying far away, and he couldn't see anything in front of him... Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd.Hai Hongzhu actually fell from the high rope! Father Hai and Ye Duzi's complexion immediately changed drastically, but they still insisted on laughing loudly and said: "If a man stumbles or a horse stumbles, it's nothing...Little girl, stand up and show your hands to the men! " But at this time people's exclamation has turned into laughter! Someone laughed and said: "What are you looking at, this little girl is absent-minded today, I'm afraid she is already thinking about men!" "Hey, who is the little girl missing? Are you missing me?" So people laugh more happily, and more cheaply. Xiao Yu'er's blood started to boil again! But at this time, a young man in green shirt jumped out from the crowd, and it was Bai Lingxiao.He turned his sharp eyes around, and said coldly: "If anyone says another word of disrespect to this girl, I will cut off his tongue!" Another person sternly said, "I'll just goug out his eyes!" This person also jumped out, and it turned out to be that "red shirt and golden knife" Li Mingsheng.The crowd immediately fell silent, wicked people, there are always people to be afraid of. Father Hai came over, smiled and said, "Thank you, young master, for your righteousness." Bai Lingxiao said coldly: "It's nothing!" He took out a large silver ingot from his bosom, threw it on the ground casually, and said, "Seeing that your hard work is going to be in vain today, let me buy you some wine." Li Mingsheng said loudly: "This is enough to buy dozens of jars of wine. You should understand why my father rewarded you with money." Hai Si's father's complexion changed, but he immediately smiled and said: "Red girl, hurry up and say thank you." Hai Hongzhu walked over with her head down, her face seemed to have a fever, and she said softly, "Thank you, young master..." A smile appeared on Bai Lingxiao's haughty face, Li Mingsheng suddenly took Hai Hongzhu's hand, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Our eldest brother likes you, why don't you accompany him to have a drink or two." Hai Hongzhu's face was pale, and her whole body trembled. Father Haisi forced a smile and said: "Our child is still young, let her go drinking with the young master after two years." Li Mingsheng said with a strange smile: "After two years? Uncle can't wait any longer." Ye Duzi rushed over and shouted, "Let her go!" Before he could finish speaking, Li Mingsheng slapped his face with his backhand. Half of his face immediately swelled up, and he fell straight out from the beating. With his hands behind his back, Bai Lingxiao said with a fake smile, "I think you'd better follow me obediently." The hands behind his back suddenly stretched out to touch Hai Hongzhu's face. Hai Hongzhu was so startled that she began to cry. Suddenly, a person strode out and said word by word: "No one can take her away!" Hai Hongzhu's eyes lit up immediately—the little fish finally came out!Xiao Yu'er would stand up for her, even if she died, it would be nothing. Li Mingsheng raised his thick eyebrows and said with a sinister smile, "You dirty brat, do you want to seek death!" The backhand is another slap across the face.But this slap will never hit Xiao Yu'er's face. His hand was somehow caught by Xiao Yu'er, like a pair of iron clamps, his bones were broken, and tears flowed out of pain. Xiao Yuer snapped: "Go!" He shouted out and raised his hand, Li Mingsheng's body weighing hundreds of kilograms was thrown straight out by him, and he fell several feet away. Even if he didn't die, he lost half his life! The crowd exclaimed again, Bai Lingxiao's complexion changed drastically, he drew his sword backhand, "clang", the long sword came out of its sheath, and pierced the little fish's chest like a poisonous snake! Xiao Yu'er leaned his body, snatched the sword light, and slapped Bai Lingxiao's chest with his palm. He didn't use all his strength, but Bai Lingxiao let out a miserable cry, and blood gushed out of his mouth, his whole body was like a grass It seemed to fall down softly.The light green clothes were stained with peach blossoms painted with blood! The crowd scattered and ran, exclaiming: "It's not good, I killed someone!" Xiao Yu'er was stunned, he himself never thought that his martial arts would be so advanced, but the exclamation brought him back to his senses. Now, there is no hiding here anymore!He turned and ran out. Hai Hongzhu had already struggled to run out, hissing: "Xiaodai... Xiaodai...wait for me...wait for me..." But Xiao Yu'er didn't look back, and walked away until the figure disappeared. Hai Hongzhu staggered and fell to the ground, with tears all over her face, crying bitterly: "He's gone... I know he'll never come back." Father Haisi rushed over and helped her up.His old and sophisticated face is also intertwined with many complex emotions, which are surprise, joy, and inevitable sadness. He stroked his beloved daughter's hair, and murmured, "Although he won't come back, there's nothing we can do... He doesn't belong to this group, how can you hold him back..." Hai Hongzhu hissed sadly: "But I... I can't... I beg you old man..." Father Haisi sighed and said: "You just have to be patient, a person like this, not only I can't hold him back, I'm afraid there is no one in the world...the world can hold him...you may never see him again .” Hai Hongzhu suddenly fainted in her father's arms, never being able to see the person she loved again, this is unbearable pain for anyone, let alone this girl who is just beginning to love her.
