Travel thousands of miles in my life

Scab addiction

In the middle of April, the sky cleared up, and a few wisps of white clouds floated aimlessly above the blue sky.

"Well, I didn't lie, did I? He can definitely come out." The man dressed as a scholar smiled and said to the pouting little girl next to him.

"What's the matter? San Han is so worried about me?" A man in a rain-colored robe stood beside them and said with a smile.

"Stop rambling, I, I am the trend of the situation!" San Han shouted dissatisfiedly, "I won't tell you! I'm going to find my mother!"

"Okay, you can go and help the teacher embroider the screen." Zhang Qin'an laughed and said, "She is worried that she won't be able to catch you recently, and it happened to be delivered to your door."

The little girl who was about to slip away ran back in an instant, showing a silly smile: "Then I still won't go, mother's girl is so good, it's the same with me or without me, so I won't go It's messed up."

"Sanhan? Qin'an? You are here, my mother has been looking for it for a long time, oops, no intention!" Just as he was talking, the teacher's wife from Qingjianmen came.Mrs. Yan looked to be in her forties, with a gentle smile on her face, holding a wooden basin in her hand.

"Mother is coming? I'm leaving first!" San Han jumped up like a rabbit when he saw her.

Madam Yan shook her head helplessly, then turned around and said, "Don't just stand there, Qin'an, Wuwu, hurry up and peel the beans together, no one will eat them if you don't peel them."

Yan Wu, who originally wanted to talk about something serious, had no choice but to touch his nose and sit down to peel the beans.Mrs. Yan's hands are extremely dexterous, her fingers are flying, and she can peel beans at a speed of two.In contrast, the hands of the two big men were as stupid as their feet, and they couldn't peel them off for a long time.

In the backyard of Qingjianmen grew a hundred-year-old pagoda tree, and the three of them sat under the cool canopy peeling beans, without talking for a long time.

"Leave a whole body for it." Yan Wuwu couldn't bear to look at Zhang Qin'an's pitted beans.

"You're not much better." Zhang Qin'an glanced at the beans in his hand, feeling balanced.

"You two are still like this." Madam Yan smiled softly, looked at the beans in her hands, and looked nostalgic: "I still remember that Xiaoyan came to Qingjian Mountain in the summer before, and your parents brought you together. At that time Qin'an is also a little bit older, and the two little boys lead a group of little boys in the yard to practice martial arts in a decent manner. Han'er is so anxious that she keeps crying beside her. She also wants to play, and neither of you will take her. Think she is a little girl troublesome."

Yan Wuwu was stunned, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.Of course he still remembered that when he was ten years old, he took Qin An, who was two years younger than him, and destroyed all the chicken coops and pigpens in Qingjianmen.Jumping up and down all day, this is one of his few childhood memories.

"At that time, Qin'an's master still had a reed hen, and you two were so scared that he couldn't lay eggs for a few days." Mrs. Yan seemed to think of something funny, her eyes narrowed with a smile, like a crescent moon , "In the end, the two of you were beaten hard and stopped, but within two days you two were arguing about eating Sophora japonica flowers and drinking honey water. flower?"

Qin An's ears turned red when he heard this, and he quickly interrupted: "Master, the peeling is finished! I'm leaving first!" Seeing the figure of the young man running away, Mrs. Yan smiled even more smugly. Like a child who succeeds in pranks.

"The star official apologized to me blushing like a monkey's butt at the time, and said to go back and take care of you. In a blink of an eye, you are so old." She gently raised her eyes to look at Yan Wuyi, "Your parents saw it, and they don't know How happy it would be."

"Maybe, they might think I'm worthless." Yan Wuwu said helplessly, "It's not like you don't know about my mother's personality."

"Xingguan's temper..." Mrs. Yan laughed as she spoke, "It's like a firecracker, but you father and son are like a pair of firecrackers, always picking her fire, she can Are you not angry?"

"It's a pity that she didn't see me in such a desolate state." Yan Wuwu pulled some old clothes on her body, "Otherwise she would laugh at me again."

A few years later, apart from the bluestone slabs in front of the door, the small wooden stakes stepped on, and the sour fruits eaten, what I can recall is my father's generous embrace and my mother's warm and soft palms.When I dreamed back at midnight, I remembered them very few times.It's not just luck or misfortune, both of them are handsome characters, and they never even come back to see their biological son in a dream.

Madam Yan put down the beans in her hand, gently pinched a fallen leaf on his head, and said softly: "Everything is over, everything will be fine."

What happened that night at the Green Ant Villa spread like wildfire, and within a few days it was spread all over the world.

The old owner of the villa burst into tears, and he yelled a few times, which made people want to replace him with his own body, and feel the heart-wrenching feeling.

How unkind and unrighteous.

People began to criticize the man named Yan Wuyi one after another.

Ever since Yan Wuwu came to prominence at the age of 15, he has never encountered such a situation where everyone shouted and beat him.In the past, when people mentioned him, they would praise him for his sincerity, fairness and justice.

But now she can't wait to eat his flesh and blood, lick his skin and bones.The reason is nothing more than flattery.

He escaped.

Was hunted down.

I don't know where to go.

It was rumored that he ate the young master's heart raw.

It was rumored that he was murderous.

Someone raised a sword and wanted to kill him to fight for his name.

Someone whipped him to kill him for profit.

Those who knew each other and didn't know each other got what they wanted in this vigorous and turbulent situation.It's just that after the calm, whether they will be ashamed of what they got is another matter.

The wise man's voice is always behind the fool's.When someone finally began to question the dramatic incident, the protagonist had already arrived at the place where everything was about to start by chance.

Since then, there has been another disturbance in the arena.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, it is the time when there is drought in the north and flood in the south.The prosperous riverside area is still peaceful with singing and dancing, but the barren frontier town is another scene.

The wind and sand are all over the sky, and it is difficult to see old friends.

Noon was the time when the sun was at its worst, and Sanqian Town, a town so small that you could see the bottom of it at a glance, could not hear human voices at all.It was as quiet as a ghost land, only some small sounds could be heard in a few shady corners.A man in a light blue thin robe and a bamboo hat walked quickly down the street.

The only restaurant in the town seemed to be closed at this time, the door was closed tightly, for fear that even the slightest bit of hot air would leak in.The proprietress in red in the restaurant, who still has a charming charm, leaned lazily on the counter, fiddling with the abacus leisurely, and from time to time told the tall guy next to her to play the fan faster.

"Dong dong dong—" someone knocked on the door at this moment.

"We are closed, the guests should go to another house." The proprietress replied loudly without raising her head.

"Sanniang, it's me, Yan Wuwu." A slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door.

"..." There was a sound of a cup of tea being spilled in the room, and after another moment of silence, the door creaked open.

Looking at the man in front of him who was exhausted but still in good spirits, the proprietress exclaimed in surprise: "No intention?"

"Well, let's talk after we go in." The man took off his bamboo hat, showing his handsome face, "Long time no see, Sanniang and Brother Chen, how are you all?"

The tall man nodded slightly and poured him a cup of herbal tea. Yan Wuwu took it and drank it down, finally dispelling the dryness in his throat.The proprietress came slowly, sat opposite him, and said with a smile: "You and I get along very well, Brother Chen, but I heard that you have been troubled by trivial matters recently."

"Hey, they're all strange things." Yan Wuwu said helplessly, "Thanks to the old owner, I now feel like a street mouse."

"Green Ant Villa?" The proprietress thought for a long time, then turned to ask the tall man, "Hey, is Green Ant Villa the one who squeezed out several swordplayers and suddenly became rich?"

"Well, I got up suddenly almost ten years ago." The tall guy fanned her lightly with a fan, and the proprietress leaned on him.

"You...you are really affectionate." Yan Wuwu scratched his cheeks, "In short, I ran here now to avoid the limelight. Now this story is being circulated in the world, I think about it, and this is the only news It’s easy to hide in the closed northwest.”

The proprietress said thoughtfully: "That's right... It's really hard to do things if you are too much in the limelight. But how do you deal with those who chase you?"

"Run faster, I can't kill you." Yan Wuwu took a sip of tea.

"Then what if there are more than one group of people chasing and killing you?" The proprietress smiled mysteriously and stretched out her hand.

"Oh my God, Sanniang, what did you hear again?" Yan Wuwu lay down on the table, took out a few coins from the purse and put them in his ruddy palm.

"Where are you going to send the beggars?!" The proprietress raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth lightly, "One or two. It's not negotiable!"

"Why did the price increase again?" Yan Wuwu had no choice but to find out some supplements, and complained, "I only have this little money..."

"Come on, if the price doesn't increase, you and Brother Chen won't have to live anymore." The proprietress smiled happily, handed the money to the tall man for safekeeping, and said with a serious face: "That old bastard actually found a ghost face To kill you, you also know that they are a bunch of lunatics, and they have to kill their targets even if they chase them to the ends of the earth, and it is estimated that they are almost there now."

"But, I don't understand why?" Yan Wuwu frowned, which was really unreasonable.

"Who knows, maybe it's because you saw something you shouldn't see." The proprietress said indifferently.

...Shouldn't be watching?Yan Wuwu suddenly remembered, and he took out the small black box from his arms, "San Niang, have you seen this? Or do you know the pattern on it?"

The proprietress picked up the box, touched it for a long time, shook her head and said, "What the hell, I haven't seen it before, Chen Lin, have you seen it?"

The tall guy who looked like a wooden man who had been silent all the time came over, and he only had to look at the box before saying coldly, "This is for Roshna to ward off evil spirits."

Roshna country.A small country deep in the desert.A poor and pious place.

"Roshna..." Yan Wuxin tucked the box back into his sleeve, "I also heard about it when I traveled there before. Since the Qing Dynasty, mines have been excavated exclusively for the current dynasty."

It's just that the involvement is even greater in this way.Yan Wuwu took the bamboo hat with a headache and said: "Oh, I have to go. I don't know if I can go to the desert before dark."

"Are you planning to go just like this?" The proprietress asked in disbelief, poking his head with her pointed finger, "You are really stupid by the river, who would go into the desert without bringing anything?"

"This……"

"Are you trying to say that your lightness skills are so good that you can go to Roshna to resupply in time?" The proprietress sneered.

"Um……"

"You are still such an old god?!" The proprietress slapped him on the shoulder angrily, "Do you know how many years I have been here?! 12 years! Those who came back alive to drink!"

"Ah, I know." Yan Wuxin smiled, and his good voice finally calmed down the angry proprietress for a while, "Sanniang, I know you are worried about me. ready."

The proprietress snorted coldly, pursed her lips, and then lowered her eyes and said, "There are only two entrances to the desert, and the nearest one to Sanqian Town is still ten miles away. Get out of here! Don't let me see you again!"

After saying that, she turned and left, kicking two wooden stools angrily.

Yan Wuxin looked at her back for a long time, and finally smiled softly.

"Sanniang is still the same. Hard-spoken and soft-hearted." He muttered softly, and the tall man nodded in agreement.

He tightly clutched the few pieces of small pieces of silver, adding up to just one tael, already warmed by the palm of his hand.

"Unintentionally, you...be careful here." Chen Lin hesitated for a long time, and warned, "Don't worry about us."

Yan Wuxin's footsteps stopped for a moment, and his eyes glanced at the roof if there was nothing.Then he waved his hand back, opened the door with big strides, walked into the wind and sand, and disappeared in an instant.

"He will be lucky. The star official said that Yan Wuwu has nothing, but he will soon have everything." Hong Sanniang came out from the back room at some point, holding a yellowed handwritten letter in her hand, After she rubbed the envelope lightly, she pressed harder.

The envelope turned into powder and returned to the desert with the wind.

"I don't owe the star officer anything." She took out a piece of red gauze from her waist, covered her charming cheeks, and raised her head fiercely to the roof and shouted: "Come down, you youngsters! My old lady is ups and downs!" After so many years, the people who have been killed can make dumplings! Who are you scaring!"

There were several cracking sounds of tiles on the roof, and three or five people jumped down, and just as the others were about to chase in Yan Wuxin's direction, a red silk suddenly stopped their figures.

"Don't run away..."

Looking at the group of people in gray clothes and ghost masks, Sanniang slowly drew out the soft sword at her waist.

"Well done! My old lady wants to see! Who dares to break into the empty door!" Hong Sanniang held a soft sword, and Chen Lin drew out the dagger in his sleeve. The two leaned together, a perfect match.

Having fought side by side for countless years, the two have already honed a tacit understanding that ordinary people can't match.The soft sword in Sanniang's hand perfectly filled the gap between Chen Lin's short sword, and the two cooperated seamlessly in defense and attack.

Seeing that they couldn't find a breakthrough, the moves of the ghost-faced assassins became more and more ruthless.At this time, Sanniang said leisurely, "Lin Zi, enough is enough."

Chen Lin obediently made a cross in the air with his two sabers, turned his back to the back, and quickly switched his left and right hands.When it flashed again, the two knives had turned into about three feet. He held the two knives, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a cruel arc.

In the wind and sand, Yan Wuwu didn't stop on his feet. As soon as he stepped out of the moon, even if he rode the best horse in the world, he couldn't catch up. It's no wonder that Wuxi monk said that he had the foot strength of an animal.

A grain of sand, a ray of wind can become a target for him to borrow strength from.It's only ten miles away, and it will be there in an instant.

He gathered the blue clothes on his body, and his steps gradually slowed down.

This is the southern entrance to the extreme edge of the desert, where it borders the dynasty.It is deserted for dozens of miles, and the inn built by the dynasty has long been dilapidated. As far as the eye can see, there are only a few crooked-neck trees growing tenaciously.

At this point, he stroked the small box in his sleeve, and according to his estimation of his own journey, it only takes half a day to reach Rosana country.Looking at the sun, it was almost Shen time. He opened the flagon he carried with him, took a sip of the most powerful knife wine in the desert, and stepped into the desert alone.

He lied to Hong Sanniang, he really didn't bring anything.

The east entrance, which is not far from the south entrance, is slightly more prosperous, and occasionally some caravans enter and exit the desert from here.At this time, there was a small caravan staying here, and their leader was holding a young man's hand gratefully, thanking him non-stop.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for saving my son's life. Thank you very much... My son is the only child of my family. If something happens to him, I will have no face to go back to see my mother!" The big man had tears in his eyes, pulling a comb The little boy with the long bun knelt down and bowed.

Standing in front of him was a young man who seemed to be just over the age of a weak crown, and his text was weak like a teacher.At this time, he was caught off guard by his father and son's thanks, and his face flushed anxiously.

"You don't have to... You can promise to take me into the desert. I wish for it." The young man waved his hand, gently lifted the little boy, touched his bun, and said with a smile, "It's just a common emergency for children. Don't worry about Wang Zongtu."

"Mr. Xiao is a straightforward person! If there is anything that is needed, I, Wang Lexi, will never shirk it!" The big man picked up the child and gave the young man a camel, "You sit on this one, this one is stable!"

"Thank you..." The young man smiled gently.

"Ah, I haven't asked Mr. Xiao, what's his name?"

The young man's voice is as clear as spring water, which makes people feel good when they hear it.

"My surname is Wen, and my name is Shuqiu."

The author has something to say:

Gentle people are really scary.
