Three swords on both sides

Lei Li squatted by the wall of his own fence, frowning and studying the big hole above.The reed chicken followed behind him, walked away a few steps and then turned back, tilting its head to look at him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.Lei Li waved it away: "Go, go." It refused to move.

The visitor who sent various agricultural products last time was actually not difficult to deal with. Seeing that he didn't want to mention a word, he just persuaded him to drink and chat. He gradually drank a lot. In the end, Uncle Li and his grandson held him by the arm and the sleeve. When he came back, he stuffed those messy gifts into the door by the way.This matter is over.But the reed chicken they gave is very clingy, and it always likes to follow you foolishly, as if unaware of its food value.Lei Shaoxia reminded it: "I will fill my stomach with you when I turn back." He grabbed its wings with one hand, and this time it finally ran away.

Lei Li went to look at the hole again.It seems that it has to be supplemented.Someone was poking around here two days ago, and he wanted to pretend not to notice, but they looked familiar.He turned his head to look, and it turned out to be a few young men from Tianshui Village, their names were Da Niu Xiao Hu, and it was difficult to remember for a while.If the neighbors come to peep, there will never be peace.He simply asked, "What can I do for you?" The young men blushed, "Uh... We heard that everyone thinks you and Ding Dusai look alike, so..." Lei Shaoxia didn't know why, His face sank first, and he glared at them: "I don't think so. Do you think so?"

With a bang, the bulls and tigers turned their heads and ran away.Instead, he froze.He ran really fast, but he didn't intend to scare them.His face wasn't scary just now.Do they think I can draw a knife?What kind of image has he been rumored to be in the arena? Also, who is that Ding... who is he?

Lei Li couldn't help but stick his head out of the wall to look.That little tiger was short and ran slowly. While yelling to wait for me, he kept turning his head to look behind him. He stumbled and fell to the ground with a slap. He got up and continued to run regardless of the pain.Lei Li laughed out loud.

After this smile, he himself was also stunned, lowered his head and pondered for a while, looking gloomy, as if the smile just now did not come from his original intention, but seemed to be put on him by others on his own initiative.He sighed, picked up a thick piece of round firewood, put it across the hole in the courtyard wall with his knees, and pressed down firmly with an iron nail with his free hand.

Someone laughed and said, "What a finger." Then he stepped forward and grabbed the other end of Yuanchai.That hand was as white as jade, which made the green bracelet on the wrist even more verdant.The man smiled and said, "Good finger skills—it's just that the vigilance is really bad. You let me in like this?"

Lei Li was originally in a trance, but he was really taken aback by this.Looking back, the person who came was a young girl, not tall, with delicate features, smiling at him with her chin raised slightly.It was still late autumn, and she was wearing a brocade robe trimmed with blue fox fur upside down, but she had a parasol embroidered with Suzhou flowers on her head, apparently because she was afraid that the sun from Taihu Lake would tan her home.It can be said that it is rare for someone with such a rich body to condescend to help him with rough work.Seeing Lei Li looking at her, the girl smiled again: "I heard that you don't speak when there is no thunder, but you still talk to me?"

Lei Li nodded and said: "...Miss Wei." He picked up another nail and nailed it down.

The girl's surname is Wei, and her girlfriend's name is Sven. She was even more happy to hear him recognize her, and said, "That's right, Lei Li. Ever since you didn't hear from us, we've all been worried about you. I never thought you would become what you are today." In this way, I originally thought that you would become an official of the imperial court, change your name and surname, and you would never talk to us rough people again."

Lei Li has known her since he was a child, and knows that she is so used to talking, her eyes always look up, and she will mock anyone who is not as good as her.Now that she has become "what she is like today", even though she feels pity in her heart, she still speaks with such sarcasm, which is relieved.I remember that when she was young, she insisted on playing with herself, but she refused to go because she was busy.She lost her temper for a while and left, but after a while she ran back triumphantly and said that Mr. Hu, the descendant of the "Yue Family Spear", had a great time with her.I didn't care who she was with, but seeing how proud she was, I couldn't help teasing: "You'd rather play with him—is there no one in Wulin?" Her face turned pale with anger.

Now Wulin...he is no longer there.He thought so, but he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.It's just that when Miss Wei came, she couldn't help but be entangled with many old things: her parents when she was young, the brothers and sisters after learning martial arts, the white shirt he wore when he was proud of spring, and the one he spent a lot of money on. Mandarin Duck and Two Swords.The knife and his right arm are gone now, and he no longer wears the white shirt.His parents died before he studied art.So brothers...how are they?Is it the same as Miss Wei, without any changes?

For almost three years, he has not contacted them.He assumed that his former self was dead, and he also assumed that they didn't even exist.When he first came to Taihu Lake, he also wanted to communicate with them. At that time... a little forgot, and now he is not sure.

He couldn't help asking: "My big brother, and my juniors, how are they?"

"They? Of course it's good. Your youngest junior brother has left the rivers and lakes. I heard that he is Yuanyang Dao's junior brother, and everyone still thinks highly of him."

"Don't be joking. With a senior brother like me, he doesn't feel ashamed."

"What are you talking about. You are more famous now than before, do you know that? That kid often brags about you, and no one dares to bully him."

He remembered now.It turned out that the pair of mandarin duck knives.The dark sharkskin scabbard, decorated with shiny silver carvings, is full of brand-new arrogance.After getting it, I proudly showed it to my brothers and sisters.The elder brother blamed him for wasting it, but carefully put it on his waist, took three steps back to look at it, and said it was a beautiful knife.His elder brother loves him the most, although he doesn't say it.The youngest junior did not speak, but stood watching from a distance, Lei Li waved at the younger junior, but he pursed his lips and ran away instead.The elder brother said, don't pay attention to him, the child is full of energy.Lei Li smiled and said, do you want to be like yourself?The elder brother nodded, then shook his head: He is different from you.

It's a blessing to be different now.But he is still proud of himself... Thinking of it this way, a warm feeling still surged in his heart.

Miss Wei saw that he turned his face away and didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking, but it was obvious that his heart wasn't in her, she pouted her little mouth, and Bai Shengsheng's face sank.But she insisted on her identity, and she was also knowledgeable and reasonable, so she refused to speak out and blamed, so she had to think about other topics in her heart.The reed chicken in the yard hid away when it saw a stranger, but it didn't escape Miss Wei's discerning eyes.She giggled: "Lei Li, have you raised chickens? That's rare."

"Well, there were still two pigeons, but I let them go this morning." Lei Li replied.It's strange that she came all this way, yet she asked him these trivial matters piecemeal.Only then did he notice that he hadn't found a seat for her all this time, and pointed to the main hall of the hut, "There's a bamboo chair over there, shall I bring it out for you to sit on?"

Miss Wei looked at her brocade robe, but said nothing.Lei Li listened to her silence, looked up at her appearance and knew it, and said to himself that this young lady has never changed her temper.Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, revealing a dimple on one cheek, which seemed a bit warm.Miss Wei also noticed it, and immediately became startled, not caring about the etiquette of men and women, and looked at him intently.This made Lei Li feel embarrassed, so he said: "Miss Wei, you have come all the way, but what letter does my teacher have?"

"They?... Hmm." Miss Wei said, "They know you're in Taihu Lake, but they're not sure yet. I was the one who came to you first." The voice of the last sentence finally dropped, and the word "I" became even more serious. is inaudible.

"You came to me?"

"Yes, Lei Li, I want you to leave here."

"why?"

"What are you doing here?"

Lei Li couldn't speak.He never argued with her before.Compared with herself who is passionate about martial arts, she is indeed more fond of reading and more knowledgeable (and often mocks herself as a group of people who have no literary skills), and is better at telling a whole story, the complexity of which makes Lei Li (and other teachers) Brothers) are avoided.But the reason why he avoided her was not all because he didn't understand, but because what he understood was often quite different from what he thought.

Miss Wei saw that he was bewildered. Compared with the proud man in the past, he was less vigorous, but the ecstasy and confusion in his bones had not changed. She was sad and angry at the same time, and she couldn't help but speak clearly: " Lei Li, why are you still here? Ever since I heard that you...you were injured, I figured that depending on your temperament, you would rather kill yourself, or hide to forget everything from the past But now the whole Jianghu knows you, staying here, living in seclusion, and Jianghu is not Jianghu, and being with these ignorant villagers all day long, that's called different. You might as well leave here. Where are you going? , I... I am willing to arrange everything."

Lei Li said naturally: "But I won't leave."

The tone of these words was too direct, and there was no room for turning around. Miss Wei blushed suddenly: "You are always busy trying to push people's good intentions away. Why did you end up here. Could it be that what I said was unreasonable?"

"Miss Wei, I didn't come to Taihu Lake...to live in seclusion." When he said this, he felt a little flustered for no reason.Seeing the other party looking at him and moving his lips, he hurried on, speaking too hastily, his face blushed a little.The tone is very positive, almost with a little pride: "I came here... because I like it here. If I don't like it, I can leave. If my senior brother came to ask me, I would say the same. Don't worry."

Miss Wei was originally rejected by him, and her heart was very entangled. Hearing what he said, it meant that it was not just that he didn't accept your favor, but that everyone in the world persuaded him not to move.When I heard the words "Don't worry", I couldn't help but spit: "Hey, why don't you worry, I didn't put my heart here. Lei Li, you have always come here according to your own temper, I I thought you would become reasonable after going through a lot, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Lei Li had kept his head slightly lowered, his brows as dark as black seemed to be unable to melt away, he was startled when he heard this, he raised his face to look at her and said, "I... haven't I changed?"

Miss Wei gave him a blank look. "Your willful and willful fault, let alone a broken hand, I'm afraid it will still be you if you lose your head. It's really..." She said this with hatred, and she couldn't continue. If she was a child, she might poke him She pointed at her forehead, but now her eyes are red, "I'm leaving, you can stay by yourself, as long as you like."

Lei Li nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Miss Wei, I have something to ask you."

"What are you talking about?" She stopped again and looked at him with shining eyes.

"Who is Tintosay?"

"Ding... how do you know him? He is the most popular singer in Beijing now, and he has been singing in Fanlou for quite a while."

"Do you think he looks like me?"

"No way." She was biting her lower lip, but finally couldn't help but rubbed her eyes, and glanced at him again.That glance covered his whole body, as if taking a portrait of him. "By the way, next spring, I will probably get engaged to Mr. Hu. I haven't told anyone else about it yet. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you again in the future. Let me tell you first. I don't want any words of blessing from you."

So what does she want to hear?Even if he "hasn't changed", he is no longer the boy who blurted out "Is there no one in the martial arts world?"Before he could think of what to say, Miss Wei had already hurried to the door, raised a flower umbrella to cover her head, looked back at him, turned around and disappeared outside the door.Then I heard the sound of horseshoes, and I went far away.Yes, how could she refuse to ride a good horse, and how could she let him see it.She always likes to laugh at those who reveal their wealth as nouveau riche.She came and went in such a hurry... He suddenly felt that there was something he wanted to entrust to her.She should be asked to bring something to Basho.Although she would definitely make some sarcasm again, but who else could go and see Basho for herself.

After killing Long Yi, it was Feng Junjie who brought the rescued Basho home.He had already left at that time and never saw her again.He felt sorry for Basho, if he could have arrived earlier and met Feng Junjie earlier, blacksmith Ba would not have gone to the villa to find his daughter in such a hurry, and he would not have died.It was his fault that Basho was alone now.Or was it his and Feng Junjie's fault?

It was three days before Basho was kidnapped that Huwei Mountain Villa sent someone to send a post for Feng Junjie to attend the appointment.Feng Junjie originally wanted to go, because news about the crimes committed by Huwei Mountain Villa kept coming, and he couldn't help but want to expose them.At that time, I said: "So what if you expose it? They won't listen to you." Feng Junjie was about to say something, but he changed his mind and kept silent. After a while, he said: "I heard that Long Yizhi will also go. He He is a hero, he should uphold justice for martial arts." Looking at him again, his expression was very embarrassed, "I know I shouldn't mention this person." He was not good at explaining, and he was a little anxious, but seeing Feng Junjie caring about him so much, his heart softened "It's nothing to me, I did lose to him anyway. But...why did you go? Whether it's the matter of Huwei Mountain Villa or the justice of martial arts, what does it have to do with you?" Feng Junjie frowned obviously at this moment Woke up.The two of them stalemate for a while, before Feng Junjie said word by word: "Everyone in the world can manage the world's affairs." After hearing this, he didn't say anything.

They have been deadlocked like this, not once or twice.The cause was...he couldn't actually tell what the cause was.There is a sentence that Feng Junjie has never said, he thinks even Big Brother Feng has never said it in his heart, that is "I know you wrong--"

But Feng Junjie was not wrong.It can be said like this.If anything went wrong, it was in the beginning.The moment they met.At that moment, he punched him on the steps and fell to his knees, but Feng Junjie only saw his back at this moment.

"If I hadn't led the horse in at that moment, would you have shot?" Feng Junjie had never asked him like this - otherwise he wouldn't be Brother Feng.But he has asked himself this question many times, facing his own shadow in the water tank, or the nail on which Feng Junjie's double knives used to hang.

He is not afraid of trouble, let alone death, but... it seems that there is an invisible threshold between him and those sneering faces.Between him and Basho, between him and the past, between him and the world.He wanted to turn over but just struggled, and he clenched his fists but could only pound on it.

you can.I know you can.The voice deep inside was as sincere as Big Brother Feng.

But he no longer knew.The more he recalled that moment, the less sure he was about what he was thinking, like the graphics on a hand scroll that has been unfolded too many times wears out quickly.Sometimes he is quite sure that he has almost made up his mind, and he just hates himself for having to make a move after all.Sometimes... not so sure.

If someone asked him this question, such as Basho—she must hate him if she knew the truth—he could only say, "I don't know."

He thought that the threshold had been rotten, but it still existed, lying between him and Feng Junjie, and it was still growing into a big tree.The more he wanted to say "it's not what you think", the more he couldn't open his mouth.Is it the kind of person you would be willing to entrust your life to when you saw it?But how to teach him to say these words?Knowing a person deeply and then treating him well is a confidant.To the point where they misunderstood deeply but still treat him as they did when they looked up to him, what is this?

That standoff was worse than any previous one.The two of them were angry for a full day.Feng Junjie didn't want to go fishing with him, so he turned around and borrowed a boat from Fourth Brother Zhang, and went by himself.After returning, the two of them were busy with their own affairs. He wanted to talk to Feng Junjie several times, but was blocked by the other's face.

Then after a while, Feng Junjie raised his head as if he had made some major determination and said, "Brother Lei, I just won't go." Brother Feng said this not once or twice.After he said this, he would not break his word, but every time he said it, it took more effort.

He looked at Feng Junjie, nodded, but didn't smile.Feng Junjie's sense of powerlessness seemed to be transmitted to him as well.

At that moment, he made up his mind that no matter what their future is, he will not have any complaints.He could feel that the connection between them was like a thread that was too taut and might be broken at any moment.But even if it is cut off halfway, this is already a deep kindness that cannot be repaid in this lifetime.

In the end, Feng Junjie broke his promise that time - someone told him that Basho had been taken away by Huwei Mountain Villa.The news came so quickly, obviously with ulterior motives.Feng Junjie immediately rushed to rescue Basho, but only left himself a very urgent note.

When the battle was over, the two looked at each other among the corpses everywhere. After a while, Feng Junjie avoided his gaze and said, "Blacksmith Ba...is dead."

He knew that Brother Feng was blaming him.In fact, it was the two of them who were to blame-it was the same thing in the first place.If he could have come earlier, if he could have come earlier with Feng Junjie, it shouldn't have happened.Although he is desperately trying now, but...it seems to be nothing.They didn't dare to look into each other's eyes anymore, as if they were blaming each other, and they seemed to have to remind each other.

Only a true hero can afford it and put it down.They can't.

They care so much that they end up becoming their own worst enemy.

He always said to himself that no matter how unforgettable the combination of three swords is, it doesn't mean that the wrong thing can be undone.Today, when he recalled this incident again, he somehow calmed down a bit.

Miss Wei said, you have not changed, Lei Li, you have always been a capricious person.The same is true for severed heads.

He's still here to this day, isn't he?

He gently closed the courtyard door.There was a sound of fluttering wings above his head, and he looked up, and saw that the two pigeons that he thought had been chased away had flown back and landed in the yard, and were fighting with the reed chicken for the few grains of corn he had thrown.
