Jianghu Tired Brigade

Hong Xiao finally called the old bustard to redeem Qing Ling.

After all, Qingling's face is ruined, and she can't make much money by relying on this boat.Therefore, the old bustard didn't ask for a price, so she let Qingling go.

Many girls stared at him eagerly, secretly thinking that Qingling didn't know what kind of blessing she had cultivated, so that her face could fascinate the handsome young master.It's a pity that they cast all the winks and never made Hong Xiao look back.

Such a situation is somewhat bleak.A woman whose destiny depends on others, even freedom is a luxury.

Qing Ling tightened her grip on the guqin in her arms, it was the only thing she took away from the boat.She followed Hong Xiao, looking at the thin back of the white-faced young man who was negotiating softly with the old bustard, all the sisters around her turned their eyes to the young man and Qing Ling.

Since Qingling's appearance was damaged, they were lazy to look at her more, and even if they looked at her, it was just a mockery of gossip.

He was as surprised and envious as he is now.

Such a situation, if it happened a few years ago, how good it would be.

Hong Xiao was taller than that person, and his figure was thinner. He spoke softly when he spoke, and he was clearly a well-educated son of a wealthy family.The shadows in Qingling's memory can be said to be two kinds of people that are extremely opposite, but Qingling can't help but feel that they are similar, suddenly it seems that the person took her and left from here.

Qing Ling followed Hong Xiao foolishly and walked out of the boat.

Hong Xiao beckoned to the outside, and the boatman's boat came through.

Hong Xiao boarded the boat first, stood at the bow, and stretched out his hand to help Qingling.

Qingling's face turned hot, but fortunately she couldn't see the blushing on her covered face, and the hot ears couldn't see the color clearly in the night.

Hong Xiao's palm was extremely soft, just like her temperament, warm and suitable.

Qing Ling walked down timidly, and followed Hong Xiao to sit down in the cabin.

When the boatman lifted the pole, the boat nimbly circled and shuttled among the boats around the painting boat, and all the boatmen stared at Hong Xiao with their eyes wide open.

That white-faced boy was not kicked out, but brought a girl inside instead?The girl covered her face, so she didn't know what she looked like, but under the light of the lantern, she could see her slender figure vaguely, and it wasn't bad at all.

The melodious sound of the piano flutters from the small boat, adding a different artistic conception to the lake at night.

Because of the festival, the inn closed later, Xiaoer saw Hong Xiao, and greeted him with a smile: "Young master is very interested."

Hong Xiao didn't argue with him, and said with a smile: "Take this girl to open a room."

Xiao Er winked and said: "Unfortunately, the room is already fully booked today."

Hong Xiao didn't follow his misunderstanding, and said, "Then open a middle room."

Xiao Er choked on her, carefully looked at Hong Xiao's expression, and asked tentatively: "My lord...do you really want to open another room?"

Hong Xiao nodded and said: "Naturally, could it be that your inn doesn't even have a middle room? Then I'll ask the shopkeeper..."

Xiaoer hurriedly stopped in front of Hong Xiao, and hurriedly said: "My lord! My lord! Don't worry, my lord. I have some, and I have all kinds of houses. I'll take you to the room." Xiao Eryuan only saw the red silk belt Bringing a girl back, I thought there must be a plan.The question just now was just to fool the girl, so he wanted to make a match on the spot, if it worked out this night, the young master Bao Buqi raised his hand and rewarded him with a small sum of money.

Unexpectedly, Hong Xiao didn't really have any ideas about Qingling, so he made up his mind to live in two rooms.If this matter goes to the shopkeeper and there is a room that does not accept guests, then he will suffer a lot.

Hong Xiao chuckled, but didn't pursue it, and called Qing Ling to go upstairs together.

It just so happened that the room next to Hong Xiao was vacant, so Xiao Er naturally took Qing Ling to live in that room.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Hong Xiao went to the stable to lead the horse before dawn.It was only when I checked out that I remembered that there was another girl walking around, when I saw Qing Ling walking down.

Hong Xiao greeted Qing Ling and said a few words of farewell.

Qing Ling was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Master...are you going to leave alone?"

Hong Xiao said: "I was rushing to find someone, the bumps along the way, the girl's body can't bear it." He tore off the jade pendant from his waist, and said: "Miss Qingling didn't bring any luggage when she left. Stay in the city for a while longer, and make arrangements for the girl. It’s just that you can’t do it right now, so this jade pendant can be regarded as an apology gift for the girl.”

Qingling stared at Hong Xiao silently for a while, then lowered her eyes and sighed: "Young master redeemed me, it is already a great kindness, how dare you make him worry about it. Over the years, I have saved some money, and I will not be short of food and clothing for a while. .Such a personal item, the young master should keep it and give it to the girl he likes in the future."

Hong Xiao originally thought that the jade pendant was of good quality, and Qing Ling pawned it for money, saving a little money would ensure that he would live comfortably for the rest of his life. It can be seen that Qing Ling was so resolute, so he had to put the jade pendant back on his waist.

Qingling said: "Can I give you a ride?"

Hong Xiao said: "I'm in a hurry, so you don't have to bother me. If you pass by here, I will visit you again."

Qingling said: "It's not far away, just send the young master to the door, it won't delay the young master's journey."

Hong Xiao smiled and said, "Then there will be Miss Lao."

From the counter to the door, which is just a few steps away, Hong Xiao did not deliberately slow down.The horse was tied at the door of the inn, she squatted down to untie the horse, Qingling said coldly: "Young master, the world will be big in the future, and it will be difficult to come here."

Hong Xiao smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.What Qing Ling said was really reasonable. She walked all the way and acted according to her heart, and she was always very casual.Sometimes helping one or two people casually, and agreeing to come to visit at another time, is just a polite word, and it will be forgotten after a few days.After a long time, even if you pass by a certain city by chance, you will never remember who you made an appointment with.

The reins on the horse post were untied, Hong Xiao straightened up, Qing Ling said: "I have received the great kindness of the young master, and there is no way to repay it. I have made up my mind to go to the Miaoxin Temple in the west of the city to sacrifice my life and practice. I will pray for the young master day and night, and hope that the young master will be found soon." heart."

Hong Xiao looked at Qing Ling, but didn't say anything after all, got on his horse and rode Jue Chen.

Riding the horse and running out of the city gate, the short experience of this city is over. Hong Xiao still has to continue her itinerary, passing through one city after another, staying, and then leaving.

Maybe I helped a few people casually, maybe I changed some people's lives unintentionally.But Hong Xiao's footsteps are still moving forward without stopping.She has always been like this, alone, walking and living casually.

Hong Xiao has been to many places and met many people.Her heart is much wider than that of ordinary people. Most people in the mountains don't know the sea, and most people on the seaside can only hear the vastness of the mountains from stories.But Hong Xiao has personally experienced the turbulent waves, and has also climbed endless mountains alone.She has seen the prosperity of the imperial capital with her own eyes, and she has also seen the disasters in neighboring countries.

Sometimes Hong Xiao would talk about these experiences when he happened to meet someone he was interested in, and others were amazed.However, during the short conversation, there were fewer stories that could be told. Most of what he had seen and heard was still kept in the bottom of his heart by Hong Xiao, and he recalled and appreciated it alone.

It is like a vast and uninhabited world, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, but no one appreciates it, it is probably a bit lonely.

————————————————————

After August, the weather gradually turns cooler and autumn comes quietly.

Mocheng is located on the edge of the desert, like a dividing line, separating the city and the yellow sand into two sides.

Going to the west, there is a boundless desert. Once the wind passes, the yellow sand is long, covering the sky and the sun.To the east, there are rolling hills and green grass.

The inns in the city, this season is the coldest time.The traveling merchants that you can always meet in big and small cities have completely disappeared here.After all, in this vast yellow sand, there is nothing that can make a lot of money.

Of course, there are times when Mocheng is lively.

The famous Yueli Palace is located on the high mountain in the west of the city, and that mountain can be regarded as a wonder on the edge of the desert. Even though it is surrounded by the long yellow sand, the mountain is still lush and full of trees.

Usually, when major events happen in the world, there will always be a commotion at the foot of Mocheng.People from all over the world came and went, wearing strong clothes and carrying all kinds of weird weapons, wandering around the gate of Yueli Palace.

There were also those who came to pick quarrels and stir up trouble, walking around the city with a limp.

On such days, the doors and windows of the government office in the center of the city will always be tightly closed, and there is not even a patrol official on the road.

But it's obviously not the time to be in Mocheng recently.The gate of the official mansion is open anyway, although it is empty and no one can be seen inside.In the streets and alleys, occasionally one or two scattered officers and soldiers can be seen, passing through the street in a hurry, head lowered to go into the official residence.

The inn at the foot of Yueli Palace Mountain is a bit more popular than other inns in the city, and most of the people living in it are pretty-looking women with extraordinary temperament.Some were disciples from Yueli Palace who went down the mountain to buy things, some were disciples who were about to go out on missions or returned after completing missions, and there were also people from all over the world who came here just because of their fame and wanted to join them.

Unlike other places, the shopkeeper here is a woman.

The shopkeeper looked to be over middle-aged, because of the weather in Mobei, the exposed skin was rough and dark, but her demeanor was a bit more refreshing than other women.

"The Tianzi room is gone. If you are willing to wait for a while, after noon, maybe someone will check out...Probably not. The people who live in the Tianzi room today are all disciples of Yueli Palace. One day of shopping in the city, and it’s too late to go up the mountain when you come back at night.”

Hong Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, since the Tianzi room is gone, can the Dizi room still exist?"

The shopkeeper flipped through the account books and said, "There are still quite a few, I'll take you to have a look."

Hong Xiao was not picky, so he chose one at random. Before leaving, the shopkeeper said, "My lord, if it's not necessary, it's better to change to another place. The Yueli Palace is not very peaceful these days, and your lord's footsteps are flimsy. Those with excessive internal strength, if they get involved for no reason, their lives may be in danger."

Hong Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
