[Yang Xiao X Li Xunhuan] Zhuang Zhou

Long Xiaoyun was weak, Lin Shiyin was a female family member, so she was not fit to ride a horse, so Li Xunhuan hired a carriage from the market in Dengfeng, and the four of them drove towards Taiyuan together.If you travel day and night, it will only take three days to travel the official road from Dengfeng to Taiyuan, but Long Xiaoyun and his wife should not be too bumpy. The carriage only travels for about four hours a day, and they will stop and rest when they enter the county. Estimated to have to go for a day.

Just as Li Xunhuan expected, some people who lost their relatives and friends in the battle at Shaolin Temple were resentful. Although the mastermind Bai Xiaosheng was dead, they still wanted to trouble Long Xiaoyun, but they saw Li Xunhuan and Yang Xiao always beside him. , they didn't dare to make a move, so they had to follow secretly all the way.After following for three or four days, knowing that Li Xunhuan and Yang Xiao would go to Taiyuan together like Long Xiaoyun and his wife, half of the people who followed turned around and left. Two days later in the evening, when the carriage drove into Wuxiang County, the rear was completely quiet.

Li Xunhuan relaxed a lot. Seeing that Long Xiaoyun had recovered to [-]% or [-]%, Yang Xiao suggested a good meal. Naturally, Yang Xiao did not object, and Lin Shiyin also followed Li Xunhuan's wishes. Long Xiaoyun hesitated for a long time and nodded in agreement, so the four of them went When we came to the most famous restaurant "Dengfenglou" in Wuxiang County, the clerk at the door was very clever. He saw that the four of them looked very good and didn't ask any questions, and directly led the way to the best private seat on the second floor.

After a while, the food and wine were all served, and "Dengfeng Tower" was full of seats.

Yang Xiao said, "I didn't expect such a ostentatious restaurant to exist in this small county."

Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "You don't know, 15 years ago there was a severe drought, the crops were lost, the court couldn't take care of itself, the owner of Dengfenglou sold all his belongings to help the people in Wuxiang County, and invited alchemists to be farmers. Begging for rain, and finally survived the drought. Wuxiang County had a bumper harvest for three consecutive years. The people believed that it was all thanks to the owner of Dengfenglou. They raised money to redeem Dengfenglou and returned the land deed The owner of the building. After getting back the land deed, he changed the name of the place to Dengfeng Building, which means to hope that Wuxiang County will have a good harvest every year."

"From what you've said, the boss of Dengfenglou is a man of benevolence and righteousness."

Li Xun Huan nodded and said, "That's right, so although his food and drinks may not be the best, they are always full."

Yang Xiao asked, "Are you a regular visitor here too?"

Li Xunhuan said: "As long as I pass by Wuxiang County, I will come to patronize it."

Long Xiaoyun next to him didn't speak, but suddenly looked at his wife and asked, "Shiyin, have you been here too?"

Lin Shiyin was slightly taken aback, she took a quick look at Li Xunhuan, nodded and said, "Well, my cousin brought me here before."

Long Xiaoyun didn't speak any more, just picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp.

Li Xun Huan looked at Yang Xiao, seeing that his expression didn't change much, he couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

When the four were silent, there was a sound of gongs and drums downstairs, and then a man shouted like a bell: "There is a dispute in the wild world, the world is changing, the gods and demons are dancing to shake the world, and the heroes and sons and daughters are amazing! "

The four of them felt strange, and looked downstairs, and it turned out that an old man and a young man were setting up a storytelling stall downstairs.

The old man was an old man with white hair and a slightly hunched body, although he was wearing a coarse cloth, but he was very clean. He held a two-foot-long cigarette in his hand, and looked at ease.What is missing is a young girl with two big braids and a pair of big black and bright eyes, which are moving and moving. When she smiles, there is a small dimple at the corner of her mouth, which is bright and sweet.

It was the old man who spoke just now, and at this time the girl interjected and asked, "Grandpa, what story are we going to tell today?" Her voice was clear and clear, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, very pleasant to hear.

"What we are going to talk about today is the story of 'Turkic warriors with wolfish ambitions, chivalrous heroes save Shaolin righteously'."

There was applause from all around: "Okay——"

Li Xunhuan and the other four had different expressions when they heard this.

The girl said again: "I know that in recent years, the Turks have repeatedly violated the border and deceived our people. It is really abominable!"

"Xiaohong, let me tell you, the Turkic people are warlike and brutal, and they are used to running rampant, but this time they kicked on the iron plate. Not only that, they broke their legs and have nowhere to complain!"

Xiaohong clapped her hands and laughed, "I know, I know, it's all thanks to the two great heroes and chivalrous men!"

The old man raised his eyebrows: "You know again? Then do you know who these two great heroes are?"

Xiao Hong said proudly: "Of course I know this, one is the world's most handsome Xiao Li Feidao - Li Xunhuan, and the other is the world's most handsome Yang Xiao."

Yang Xiao couldn't help but spit out a sip of wine, he looked at the other three people at the same table, all of them had subtle expressions, and he asked strangely: "What's the matter, don't you think this is very funny to grandpa and grandson?" ?”

Li Xunhuan glanced at him and shook his head helplessly, Long Xiaoyun turned his eyes away, Lin Shiyin looked at her husband and then at Li Xunhuan, finally lowered her head.

Downstairs, the old man shook his head and said: "How can you introduce it like this, it should be their martial arts and character!"

"Oh, martial arts is not something that people specially left for you to say to grandpa! People just love to hear what grandpa says!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Next, listen to my old man Sun." The old man chuckled a few times, "Let me think about it, it should start with two heroes who accidentally discovered the Turkic people outside the pass... ..."

Then the old man talked about how the Turks colluded with the martial arts scum, how they encircled and suppressed the Central Plains martial arts, how they attacked Shaolin, how they framed Li Xunhuan, how Li Xunhuan and Yang Xiao rescued Shaolin from the predicament regardless of past suspicions, and so on.

"It seems that his news is quite well-informed."

"Generally, storytellers have their own sources of information. There are so many people in Shaolin Temple, as long as you know a few or two, you will know."

At this time, Xiaohong interrupted suddenly: "Grandpa, Turkic people are hateful, but according to me, those martial arts scum are even more hateful! Do you think so!"

The audience booed in unison and said yes.

"That Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng actually poisoned fellow martial artists in the Central Plains to avenge his personal revenge, and that Long Xiaoyun, who was not satisfied with robbing Li Xunhuan's fiancée back then, colluded with Bai Xiaosheng to frame Li Xunhuan—"

As soon as these words came out, Long Xiaoyun couldn't listen anymore, he stood up suddenly and said to his wife with a livid face: "Shiyin, let's go back, in this kind of place, you can only hear nonsense from irrelevant people!"

Lin Shiyin felt very embarrassed, nodded and left the table with her husband.Li Xunhuan subconsciously followed her and stood up.Lin Shiyin walked a few steps, but turned back and said to him: "Cousin, I'll go back with Xiaoyun first." Li Xunhuan nodded, watched the two go downstairs, and watched the two walk out of the restaurant and back to the inn, he After thinking about it, he was still uneasy, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Xiao holding a glass of wine and watching the pair of grandparents and grandchildren downstairs, seeming to be engrossed in listening to the play.Li Xun Huan is so smart, he didn't know that Yang Xiao was just doing this for himself, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and said: "If you want to know something, you can ask me directly, I will never lie."

Only then did Yang Xiao turn around, put down his wine glass and smiled, "Go back, I happen to have something to say to you."

Back at the inn, Li Xunhuan first went to confirm the safety of Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin by himself, then went back to the room and did not see Yang Xiao, but saw that the assistant brought hot water, he asked the assistant if he knew that he had brought hot water to Yang Xiao's room , I thought that Yang Xiao first fought many rounds in Shaolin Temple, and then rushed to Dengfeng to rescue soldiers without stopping. After a few hours, he escorted Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin back to Taiyuan with himself, until today the green forest people who followed They all withdrew, probably to talk to him after a short rest, so he also cleaned his head and face first, changed into clean clothes again, and then ordered his assistant to bring two jars of wine and wait slowly.

But he didn't see Yang Xiao until he finished the jar of wine, Li Xun Huan felt a little strange, could it be that Yang Xiao was just talking casually in Dengfeng Tower?He simply took the remaining jug of wine and walked straight towards Yang Xiao's room. When he turned a corner, he saw Yang Xiao and Lin Shiyin standing outside the door. Yang Xiao was smiling, as if he was listening to what Lin Shiyin had to say.

As soon as Yang Xiao looked up and saw Li Xun Huan coming, he gestured to Lin Shiyin, Lin Shiyin stopped in time, Yang Xiao said to Li Xun Huan: "You are here, I was going to find you, and I met Mrs. Long when I went out."

Li Xun Huan approached and looked at Lin Shiyin, then at Yang Xiao, and said, "You said you wanted to find me, but I waited in the room for a while but didn't see you, so I wanted to come over and see."

Lin Shiyin called out "cousin", and after listening to the two of them, she knew that they probably had something to discuss, so she consciously and politely walked away.

Watching Lin Shiyin leave, Li Xunhuan asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Madam Long told me some embarrassing things about you when you were young."

Li Xunhuan looked at Yang Xiao suspiciously.

Yang Xiao added: "She asked me, how long have I known you, and I said, 'Not long ago, not even half a year'."

Li Xun Huan was surprised, he calculated carefully, it has been more than four months since Yang Xiao smashed his carriage, but Shiyin came to Yang Xiao just to ask this?Li Xun Huan thought so in his heart, and asked unconsciously.

Yang Xiao didn't answer, he took Li Xun Huan's hand and said, "Come, let's talk in the room."

Li Xunhuan looked at the hand he was holding, and followed Yang Xiao into the room.The two sat down at the table back and forth, Li Xun Huan put down the wine jar, but Yang Xiao made a gesture and said, "Don't be busy for now—"

Li Xunhuan stopped when he heard this.

After thinking about it, Yang Xiao decided to talk about Lin Shiyin first, and said, "Just now I told Mrs. Long that if she had actively fought for it back then, maybe you wouldn't be like this now."

Li Xun Huan sighed softly: "You have wronged Shi Yin by saying that, I broke her heart first."

Yang Xiao continued: "She said that even if everything starts all over again, she will still choose the kind of life you want her to live."

Li Xun Huan gave a bitter smile, then shook his head, poured himself a cup and drank it all.

Yang Xiao asked again: "Do you know why I woke up?"

Li Xun Huan didn't turn the corner for a while, and said casually, "Why did you wake up?"

Yang Xiao said: "I told you before that the Mongolian princess used tricks to capture several decent disciples from famous schools, including Shaolin." Li Xun Huan nodded, he remembered that Yang Xiao had briefly mentioned it when he was in Shaolin Temple, and that's why he was more serious Suspected Bai Xiaosheng and Long Xiaotian's purpose in summoning people from the Central Plains martial arts.

"Because the injury of Wudang Yin Six Heroes was suspected to be the work of Shaolin disciples, the leader led us and a group of people into Shaolin, but found that all the disciples inside were missing, so we searched around to see if there were any clues." Yang Xiao said here After a short pause, seeing Li Xun Huan's concerned face, he continued: "At that time, I felt that besides the matter of Yin Liuxia, I had other things to do when I went to Shaolin Temple, but I couldn't remember it all the time."

A thought flashed through Li Xun Huan, and he asked in confusion, "When you were here, you kept remembering what happened in another place?"

Yang Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, I was also puzzled by this, so after arriving in Shaolin, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to be looking for someone, and I thought that person would be waiting for me in Shaolin."

"Because you promised that person to go to Shaolin with him." Li Xunhuan understood a little bit. It seems that Yang Xiao's sleepiness and waking up were not accidental, but because of "caring". Yang Xiao himself had clearly expressed his disapproval early in the morning. He was interested in it, but he himself was attracted by Yang Xiao's chic and unrestrained, and he always wanted to find a reason for him to stay?

Yang Xiao didn't know that Li Xun Huan had thought of all this, and continued: "I once asked Abbot Xinhu for advice, and he told me a scripture: 'One flower is one world, one leaf is one Tathagata'."

Li Xun Huan said, "It's the Huayan Sutra."

Yang Xiao asked: "Do you know what it means?" He wanted to slowly convince Li Xunhuan that the two worlds are true, so he used a questioning tone.

But Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "Not only do I know what it represents, I also know that after Brother Long and Shiyin are safely escorted back tomorrow, if you want to travel around the rivers and lakes, or live in seclusion outside the customs, even if you want to go to the ends of the earth I will go with you."

Yang Xiao didn't expect that Li Xun Huan would suddenly reveal his heart to him at this moment, he was very happy after being startled, he didn't speak for a moment, he just held Li Xun Huan's hand tightly.

All night.

The next day Li Xun Huan woke up very early, and after exchanging feelings with Yang Xiao, he slept very peacefully and solidly. He came to Yang Xiao's room early and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.Li Xun Huan pushed the door open and walked in, the room was empty, no one was there, a corner of the quilt was lifted on the bed, it was obvious that Yang Xiao left the bed on a whim.Li Xunhuan searched the room, but found nothing except a piece of paper on the table.

The message reads: The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility. If you succeed in the future, you will go to the king's appointment.The handwriting is scribbled and wild, as if it was written in a hurry.

Li Xun Huan recited these sixteen words over and over again, suddenly he was at a loss.

Lin Shiyin saw that her cousin had a lot of worries since returning to Taiyuan, and she was often alone in a daze. She asked the reason, and Li Xunhuan showed her Yang Xiao's message. How many people can hurt him, since the message said he will come, I will definitely come to Taiyuan to look for him after the matter is over.

Lin Shiyin didn't know about Yang Xiao's background, and Li Xunhuan didn't want to tell her too much. He didn't want his cousin to think about it, and knowing that Long Xiaoyun was still afraid of him, he simply moved out of "Guiyun Villa" - the original "Li Yuan" was long before he left. Soon it was renamed "Guiyunzhuang".

In addition to Li Yuan itself, the Li family also has some shops and cultivated land in Taiyuan, including two inns located in the east and west of the city. He lived in one of them and occupied a table in the private seat on the second floor when he had nothing to do. , drinking and listening to plays to pass the time.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost three months before Li Xunhuan returned to Taiyuan. As the New Year approached, merchants who bought goods went home to celebrate the New Year, and the business of the inn began to slow down. dissatisfied.

"There are disputes in the sky and the earth, the colors of the rivers and lakes change, the gods and demons dance violently, and the heroes and children show their extraordinary abilities!"

"Grandpa, what story are we going to tell today?"

Hearing the familiar sound of gongs and drums, Li Xunhuan knew that the performance of the grandparents and grandchildren had started again. He watched the sparse pedestrians on the snow-covered street below, with a faint smile on his face.

"What we are going to talk about today is the story of 'Turkic warrior with wolfish ambition, little Li Fei saves Shaolin with righteous swords'."

Sun Xiaohong clapped her hands and laughed, "Good! I like listening to Li Xunhuan's story the most!"

"Look at you! It's Li Xunhuan who saved the martial arts world, not you, Sun Xiaohong!"

Sun Xiaohong said proudly: "Of course I know this, I'm just happy for him! I like and admire most such a great hero and true chivalrous man!"

"Yes, yes, yes. It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay!"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about!"

"I said, it should start from Li Feidao's accidental discovery of the Turkic movement outside the customs..."

Li Xunhuan listened blankly to Old Man Sun's play, his face had long since lost his smile. Suddenly, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly left the inn and rushed into "Guiyun Villa". Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin asked with concern: "Cousin, what's the matter?"

Long Xiaoyun said nonchalantly: "Brother Xun Huan is here, and I will take care of you on the way back to Taiyuan. I haven't thanked you well yet, why don't we stay and have dinner together?"

Li Xunhuan glanced at Lin Shiyin and said, "With the friendship between our two families, there is no need to thank Yang Xiao."

Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin looked at each other, they both asked doubtfully, "Who is Yang Xiao?"

Li Xun Huan instantly took a step back as if being hit by a hammer, his face turned pale.He left "Guiyun Manor" in a daze, and ignored Lin Shiyin's repeated calls behind him, facing the cold wind piercing his bones, but he still couldn't calm down.

Generosity should be generous, and worries and thoughts are unforgettable.How to relieve worries, only Du Kang.

Li Xunhuan was drunk for several days in a row, the shopkeeper saw something unusual and had to report to the manager, Tie Chuanjia, when Tie Chuanjia received the news and rushed to the inn, Li Xunhuan was already up.

Li Xunhuan sat motionless at the table, staring at a piece of white paper on the table.

Tie Chuanjia called tentatively: "Master?"

Li Xun Huan blinked and said, "Chuan Jia, prepare the carriage and make some arrangements, I have something to go outside the customs."

Tie Chuanjia was puzzled for a while, but he agreed and turned around to prepare. When he left the room, he caught sight of Li Xunhuan sighing softly, carefully put away the white paper on the table, and put it in his arms.

More than two months later, Li Xunhuan came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain again. The last time he came was early autumn, but now it was covered with snow, even the road up the mountain was covered.Li Xunhuan asked Tie Chuanjia to wait for him in the car, and then went into the mountain alone.

Where there were no roads, there are still no roads, and where there were roads, it is not easy to find, but Butterfly Valley is still like spring all the year round, and the flowers are blooming like brocade.

Looking at the colorful butterflies all over the sky, the big rock in Li Xun Huan's heart finally fell. He suddenly laughed a few times, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground. It's so beautiful, you can't tell the difference between flowers and butterflies, everything seems unreal.

Li Xun Huan muttered to himself: "Why didn't you send me there..."
