[Sword Three] A gentleman is like the wind

The storyteller also laughed, and he replied: "Yeah, why did you tell such a story." His expression fell into memory, his old face was soaked in tenderness, as if he was a few years younger.There is a slight pain in those eyes, but also kindness and love.As he spoke, he laughed: "At first it was because of the little girl."

"?" Chu Liuxiang was confused by this sentence for a moment, he tentatively asked: "Do they have..."

"No, no, they have nothing to do with each other." As if anticipating what Chu Liuxiang would ask, the storyteller said quickly.

"That……"

The storyteller said: "I am still telling stories in this restaurant at such an age, what do you mean?"

Why are you still here at such an age?Naturally, it is for livelihood.Chu Liuxiang got the answer, but didn't answer.He knew that the storyteller didn't really want his answer.

"Yes, you must want to say that it was for livelihood. It was indeed at the beginning." The storyteller recalled, with a distant expression: "At that time, there was a war in the south, and the tax was a bit heavier. The continuous wars increased day by day. If we wait for the small people to afford the tax, I am afraid that if things go on like this, the people will not be able to make a living."

"Wait...Zhan Luan?" Ye Rufeng said suddenly, frowning like a ball of paper.He knew that his behavior of suddenly interrupting the two of them was not in etiquette, so it was no wonder that the master said that he was not worthy of the word "gentleman".He is afraid that he will never be a gentleman.But for him, the word Zhan Luan really couldn't ignore it.Nowadays, it is clearly prosperous and prosperous, and the war is chaotic... Where do we start?

Chu Liuxiang was also puzzled.war?When did it happen?

The storyteller was used to watching people's faces, and soon knew what the two were wondering about.He smiled wryly and said: "Of course, only ordinary people like us know about such things. There must be a reason for the sudden increase in taxes. The court is afraid of causing panic, and the closed news does not want us to know. But the businessmen who come and go, There will always be a few who will reveal the news." His smile was a bit bitter: "Those years were very hard, and life was almost unbearable. The little girl was weak since she was a child, and she was also lingering in bed at that time and couldn't afford to get sick."

The two fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

The storyteller smiled, somewhat relieved: "You two don't need to have such expressions. No matter how hard it is, you will get over it."

Chu Liuxiang wanted to ask how the other party's daughter is doing now, but she was afraid of being abrupt, so she could only ask: "Then... how did the story involve Ling Ai? Could it be that Mr. Jian did something?" Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang was nervous. I feel a little relaxed, if I meet Ye Rufeng, I can look forward to the development of things.

The storyteller nodded and said: "I came here to tell the book that day, but I didn't stay at home, and I didn't have the chance to meet that young master."

The storyteller spoke eloquently.

"My little girl has been weak since she was a child, and she has never been able to go out and play and go shopping at will like other girls. She can't even go to the Lantern Festival." When the storyteller talked about his daughter, his tone was a bit bitter.He never spoke in detail and interestingly about a small matter like he did when he was telling a book outside. His tone was very flat, and his words were not embellished, but people could feel his mood most intuitively.Bitterness and guilt.

"The tax has risen, and there is no food left in the family. Even if I am here to tell books all day without rest, the money I earn is enough for our family of three, but I can't take care of the money needed for the medicinal materials of the little girl."

Ye Rufeng looked complicated, lowering his eyelids.In times of war, there are too many injustices.

"At that time, merchants were traveling between the two places, and the goods were moving, so they couldn't be idle. The rich and noble, also felt that the tense was wrong, and never thought about listening to books. In this way, the income was even more bleak. The livelihood could hardly be maintained. My little girl I was sensible since I was young, and never let us worry about it. The old woman had no choice but to leave her daughter behind and go to a rich family to take on one or two chores of washing and cooking. At that time, I also found more work copying books. The book matter is also favored by those young people. If it is not for the friendship and pity, this matter will not fall on me." As if feeling the eyes of the two, the storyteller explained.

Chu Liuxiang had never experienced the feeling of being forced to make a living, and after hearing what the storyteller said, she felt a little ashamed for her usual behavior of spending money like water.

When some people are forced to make a living and have to count every needle and thread carefully, some people are drinking and having fun, singing and dancing, enjoying themselves.People are never equal.

The air was even more dull.Only the voice of the storyteller spoke slowly.

"My little girl has wanted to keep a pet since she was a child. Whether it's a cat, a dog, or anything else, it's fine. But first, her body doesn't allow her to keep those things. Second, at home, she also has pets. I can’t afford anything else.” The storyteller spoke with tears in his eyes: “But she is very sensible and never argues for her. The old lady and I both know it, and we don’t take it to heart. Also pretend not to know."

"Occasionally, she would open a little window and look outside. To see children frolicking by, cats and dogs fighting. We all know it, but we don't know it. She has a sense of propriety, and she puts it down after a while. She knows she can't stand the cold."

Chu Liuxiang was silent, and after a while, she said in a very sincere tone: "Such a sensible girl will surely live a long life."

Ye Rufeng was startled suddenly, as if remembering something.He pursed his lips, and said, "She will be safe and happy." His voice was low, and it was more of a warm blessing.She will be safe and happy... right?Most definitely.It's just that as far as heaven is concerned, it has never opened its eyes to see the struggling world.

The storyteller regained consciousness from his memories, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He shook his head, and stopped talking about his youngest daughter in detail, and didn't answer the words of the two of them.He also noticed his gaffe, adjusted his mood and continued to tell.

"It was an accident to meet that young master." The storyteller said humanely.Many times, he would rather smile than sad.

"When I went home that day, she was very happy. She hasn't been that happy for a long time." The storyteller's voice became calm again: "It was only later that I learned what happened during the day from the old woman."

The little girl, who had been bored for a long time, heard the dog barking, she secretly set up the window, looked out the window, and then saw the big dog lying on the ground, looking down at what it was doing.Then with a meow, a big cat jumped out of its arms, and stepped on the big dog's head with incomparable agility. It is tied like a flower, and there is a small bell tied on the ribbon.Standing on the big dog's head, it looked majestic and majestic. After flicking its fur, the messy fur that seemed to have been ravaged/ravaged was all smoothed down.

The big dog didn't stand up, it lay there securely, the cat stepped on the big dog's face, fell to the ground, and dangled in front of it.At this moment, I heard a helpless voice: "You two, don't make trouble..." At that moment, the big dog raised half of his body, and pressed the big cat's paw under him unexpectedly.The little girl had been staring at the beautiful big cat whose bell was ringing crisply when it moved, but when she saw this change, she couldn't help but exclaim.

The boy raised his head and looked towards the window.Like a frightened rabbit, the little girl lowered the window.However, she quickly opened the window quietly and peeped out.She is not usually so bold, but she has never seen such a beautiful big cat, nor such a majestic big dog. If she doesn't have the courage to take a look now, she doesn't know when she will see it again.Quietly, quietly, a young master like that certainly wouldn't mind someone secretly watching.

When she looked up, she saw the young man looking at her with a smile on his face. He looked so kind, the little girl couldn't help but strengthened her courage, and whispered: "The cat is so cute." She took a look The young man said again: "The dog is also very cute."

"It's not a dog..." The young man paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "If it's a dog... then it's a dog. Do you like them?" The young man's words were a bit inexplicable, but soon he stopped Confused, he turned to ask her.

The little girl nodded, eyes full of envy and longing.

"Are you not in good health?" The young man seemed to see her pale face, and frowned.

The little girl nodded again, maybe the attitude of the other party seemed to be very talkative, she said: "Can I pet the cat? Just one, really, just one." Her eyes were shining, as if stars had fallen.

"Yes. But...you are not in good health, it is best not to play with it for too long." The young man reminded, calling the cat's name. It seemed that the big cat that was imprisoned under its claws and gave up struggling did not know No matter how he moved, he broke free from the restraint very neatly, and jumped onto the window with a single leap.

"Wow!" The little girl exclaimed, feeling even happier. She looked at the big cat in front of her, and carefully stroked its head. The big cat never had the prestige of stepping on a big dog, and she let her pet it peacefully.It was really just a touch, and the little girl withdrew her hand.This is a well-behaved girl who makes people feel distressed.

"You can touch it a few more times." The young man couldn't help but said.

The little girl touched the big cat's head again, and stroked its fur boldly.Then she refused to move any more, and because she got what she wanted, her complexion was a little rosy, and she said happily: "It's fine now, thank you big brother, I've finished touching it."

"It's okay to touch it a few times."

The little girl shook her head and said, "I know I'm not in good health. I'm already very happy when I touch the cat. It won't be good if I get sicker later." She looked at him with bright eyes: " I know that my parents have worked very hard, so I have to be obedient."

After being summoned by the owner, the big cat jumped back to provoke the big dog, but the big dog ignored it. It felt bored, so it threw away the paws placed by the big dog in front of it, and burrowed into the fur on the big dog's chest. Down, and still comfortably round the body.

"That's great." The little girl looked at the big cat and the big dog with longing in her eyes.

"You take good care of your illness, and when you recover, you can be like them, and you can come out to play." The young man comforted in a soft voice.

The little girl shook her head: "I won't be fine." She lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes, her voice was very low: "I've been like this since I was a child." Then, she raised her head again: "It's been a long time since the window was opened today. , the condition will be aggravated if the wind blows for a long time, big brother, I closed the window."

"Wait a minute, meeting is also fate. Such a well-behaved and sensible girl, she should be given something." He thought for a while, and took out a few things from his arms: "Look at this, do you like it?" This thing was strung together into a bracelet, the young man didn't know how to move, the two leaves, one gold and one silver, were tied with a red string, and a small bell was also attached.Those two leaves are so delicate that you can even see the veins.

"You are sick now, so you can't wear this thing, so just put it away." He smiled, stuffed the thing by the window, where the little girl could reach, and said "goodbye".He turned his head and called his two big cats and dogs, and walked outside.

The author has something to say: the "big cat" is a lynx, and the "big dog" is a wolf.Zang Jian and Tiance's pets.Wolves are really like huskies. As for cats, they are very cute.There is a bow on the forehead and a bell on the neck.The two selected here are Yue Ze and Yun Yuan.

The little girl does not appear in the official plot. To be reasonable, the little girl died of illness in the initial setting.I'm such a nice guy (you are enough).

After the line was buried, I started Calvin, and I was thinking about how to write next.I really have a hard time with the plot.Whether it is the original or the original plot.

Before the physical test today, I hit my head on the bed, and during the physical test, I fell my leg again, which was horrible.
