Binu 苏童 2041Words 2018-03-14
At noon, the coffin truck arrived at Qingyun Pass, and a white leopard flag fluttering in the wind revealed the origin of the coffin. It was not far from Baichun Terrace to Qingyun Pass, more than 20 miles away, but the two cows, three The individual, and a freshly painted coffin, already looked dusty. The closed carriages, horses and pedestrians were in a mess, and there was a group of geese who didn't know where they came from or where they were going. They sat on the haystacks and the millstone, watching the messy scenery indifferently.It was the closing time, and the soldiers guarding the customs were busy chasing a team of mules selling salt. The salt sellers complained that their team of mules had been divided into two parts. Of the seventeen mules, eight mules were gone. Why can't the remaining nine mules pass the test?Guan Bing said, it is not we who divide your mule team into two, but the hourglass. The higher-ups want us to watch the hourglass to seal the customs. When the hourglass is full, it will be closed without delay for a second!The salt dealers dared not swear, they all looked at the hourglass on the city tower, and began to curse the hourglass, some scolded the hourglass for being snobbish, some simply questioned the function of the hourglass, saying why it is better to use sand to determine the time, and water and soil, it must be better than the hourglass. To be fair, there was also a salt dealer who jumped up impulsively, calling the hourglass above his head a whore, selling * for such a high price!A group of people and mules jammed at the closed gate in a mess, and the quarrel was raging. The driver's palmless whip rang, and two Qingyun bulls moved at the sound of the whip, and broke into the team of mules carrying a black-painted and gilded coffin. , the mules didn’t know whether they were frightened by the menacing Qingyun cattle, or they were afraid of the coffin, so they ran away in all directions. The salt traders saw the white leopard emblem on the bullock cart, and chased the mules and said, Baichuntai I'm used to bullying and bullying, and now even the coffin has come out to bully people!

The soldiers guarding the pass knew that Wuzhang, the coachman of Heng Mingjun, was coming when they saw the people driving the carts with their feet. Cars without palms can pass through the customs, but the coffin, and the strange woman and boy accompanying the coffin, they don't know each other. The woman looks too sad. On her face, the boy looked unrelated to sadness. He was sitting on the coffin looking around and shaking his legs. Is apiperine dead?A few days ago, I saw him drinking in the tavern in Lancaojian. He drank a jar of wine and ate a lot of meat!Several guards surrounded the coffin, not believing that Celin was already lying in it.A Guan Bing was very frustrated and said that he borrowed a knife from me in the tavern, saying that he would lend me one and pay me two back. Deliberately renege on it.

Those words unintentionally hurt the coachman Wuzhang's self-esteem, he sneered, you are a dog who looks down on people, after all, Qin Su is a guest of Baichun Terrace, and you are paying your life for two knives?Where is such a lowly life! Another Guan Bing disagreed with Wuzhang's statement, the thief became a doorman, at worst he was a thief doorman!He said, I think Qin Su joined your Baichuntai, the biggest improvement is learning to borrow money!He used to steal everything. He also dared to steal the dragon-headed sword of our General Deng. He stole it and presented it to Heng Mingjun as a meeting gift!

When the reputation of the owner of Baichuntai was involved, Wuzhang's expression became serious.This brother, weigh your words later, Qin Su dared to offer that sword, and Lord Heng Ming would not accept such a dirty gift!Wuzhang arrogantly poked the Guan Bing with his foot, and said, didn't the sword be returned to you, General Deng?Besides, don't our lords have any swords?Even the king gave him a plum-blossom sword with a dragon's head. It was a golden-hilted plum-blossom sword. When it touched the blood, the plum-blossom on the sword would bloom. Don't watch you wield the sword with a gun. I'm afraid you haven't heard of the plum-blossom sword on the sword. Have you said that?

The Guan soldiers were ridiculed, full of anger and inconvenient to burst out, so they told Wuzhang, we don't care whether there are plum blossoms or apricot blossoms on the sword, we are guarding the pass, just open the gate and seal the pass to check passers-by, there are orders from above, princes and nobles in extraordinary times Carriages and horses passing the customs must be treated equally and strictly inspected. Wuzhang said, test it, test it, a coffin, a dead person, let's see if you can test the dead person into a living person! The guards rushed up to surround the coffin truck, the boy jumped out of the coffin, but the woman couldn't get out of the coffin truck.She sat there numbly, no matter how they pulled, the person and the coffin seemed to be tightly stuck together, the guards opened her mourning robe and found the mystery, one of the woman's feet was locked on the coffin ring .

How is this going?The guards shouted, who is this woman?How to lock her to the coffin buttons? who?Thank you for asking!The coachman Wuzhang said that Qinsu's daughter-in-law was locked in Qinsu's coffin! The guards looked at Binu suspiciously, and saw a pale and swollen face, with bruises and bloodstains on his forehead, his eyes were swollen from crying, like walnuts, and tears still flowed tenaciously from the slits of his eyes. Her sanity is unclear.She opened her mouth wide to say something to the guards, but she only let out a vague breath, as thin as a gossamer. No palm, what is this woman talking about?The Guan soldiers couldn't hear Binu's voice clearly, so they turned their heads and shouted to the coachman, "This woman doesn't look right!"

Does someone wink at you after the death of her husband?She is too sad, and she is a little confused. Then why did her forehead hit like this?Hit the coffin, right? What are you fussing about?Have you never seen a martyr crying in a coffin?The strong girl cries in the coffin, she will hit the coffin!The coachman came over impatiently, straightened the shackles on Binu's feet, and pushed her aside to make room for the guards. He said, leave her alone, and take care of her affairs. No, check your coffins quickly! The Guan soldiers left Binu and were about to inspect the coffin. Since everyone was afraid that lifting the coffin lid would bring bad luck, several people blamed each other. They sat in front of the bullock cart without palms and sneered, saying that they would not dare to lift the coffin lid. ?Fortunately, you just guarded the border. If you were sent to fight against the foreign bandits, we would have perished long ago!I don't know if the guards heard his muttering, they banged on the coffin, and the knocking sound became more and more brutal.Stop knocking, knocking again will annoy Qinsu, let's see how his ghost will take revenge on you and steal all the bones from your family's ancestral grave!Wuzhang threatened the guards, turned around and yelled at the boy, what are you still doing foolishly jumping around?You are no longer a deer man!You unworthy son, just watching someone beat your father's soul like this!Come and open the coffin lid, let them see your father's face, if they don't know the face, let them see his wrist, his hands, everyone knows it!
