The style is different [Comprehensive]
Chapter 56
Huang Yaoshi was handsome and upright, but also had an extraordinary bearing. As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, he attracted the attention of most of the pedestrians on the street.
Some girls in light Rorschach shirts even covered half of their faces with silk fans when they passed by, leaving only a pair of watery eyes, staring at people and laughing nonstop, and turning back to look twice after passing by.
And he stood under the willow tree and didn't care, as if what those people were talking about wasn't him at all.
On the street, the face of the kid who stopped Ah Fei before had completely collapsed.
He lowered his head and turned to Huang Yaoshi, saying, "I have learned the Luoying sword technique!"
"Really?" Huang Yaoshi raised his eyebrows, "Then I don't use my internal strength, and just use the moves in the Luoying swordsmanship to fight you?"
The child was suddenly speechless.
At this moment, Huang Yaoshi finally got off the boat and walked to the street.
He was holding a jade flute in the same color as his clothes, and his movements were very quick, but he didn't seem anxious at all.
After standing in front of A Fei, he pressed the child's head with his free hand, and then said to A Fei: "The two of them are playful and often play tricks on people by the South Lake, but apart from teasing, there is nothing to do." He agrees."
Ah Fei understood. He lowered his head and glanced at the other child he was holding in his hand. When he fell back on Huang Yaoshi, his eyes suddenly moved.
He looked at Huang Yaoshi and said, "Do you use a sword?"
Xie Linyun upstairs: "..." No?
Huang Yaoshi was also taken aback, but nodded immediately: "Yes."
A Fei let go: "I don't care about the two of them, but I want to fight with you."
If the person he invited to fight wasn't Huang Yaoshi, Xie Linyun might have lamented how quickly this kid got into the mood, and found someone to practice with as soon as he got off the restaurant.
But this youthful spirit was used on Huang Yaoshi, which made her a little worried.
Because she remembered that Hong Qi had said in the previous hegemony meeting that Huang Yaoshi had made rapid progress this year, and his level was already on par with him.
A Fei lost to Hong Qi in the competition for hegemony, and he came out to see the greatness of the world, and he had the purpose of rebuilding his confidence, and now he came up against someone who was on the same level as Hong Qi——
Xie Linyun didn't think it was appropriate, but she couldn't think of a proper reason to stop it.
You can't just jump down and tell A Fei that you can't beat this person now, it will also damage A Fei's confidence.
Just when she was thinking, Huang Yaoshi agreed happily: "Okay."
The kid named Lu Xiaofeng immediately let out a "wow", looking excited about a good show.
There are many restaurants beside the South Lake, even in the whole of Jiangnan, it is a very prosperous place, with people coming and going all year round, and there is a constant flow of cars and horses.
Ah Fei and Huang Yaoshi wanted to fight, so naturally they couldn't fight here. It happened that Huang Yaoshi had a boat, so they decided to fight on the lake.
Lu Xiaofeng dragged his betting companion to follow, but was ordered by Huang Yaoshi to stay on the shore.
He downcast again: "Ah? Why?"
Huang Yaoshi didn't answer, just turned around and got on the boat.Alfie followed closely behind.
On the shore street, Lu Xiaofeng was greatly disappointed, and said to his companion: "Hey, that person was able to catch you just now, he should be very good at martial arts, the fight between the two of them must be wonderful."
His companion obviously agreed with this point, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't we call another boatman to follow?"
The two children said they were about to go to the ferry, Xie Linyun saw it, and couldn't help but shook his head and clicked his tongue.
She left a bar of gold on the table to pay the bill, and popped a peanut out the window into the street.
The peanut shooting star usually flashes past their eyes, only a few centimeters away, and it will stick to the tip of their noses.Lu Xiaofeng studied martial arts with Huang Yaoshi for more than half a year, and he has seen some masters, so he immediately raised his head vigilantly: "Who?"
Xie Linyun didn't stick his head out of the window, just maintained his original sitting posture and said, "It's for your own good that he doesn't let you follow."
Lu Xiaofeng followed the voice to look over, and found that he couldn't see her appearance clearly, and became even more curious for a moment: "How do you know?"
Xie Linyun finally stood up, glanced at the green and black boat that was heading towards the center of the lake again, and said: "They really started to move their swords, and they may not even be able to keep the boat, so you don't want to join in the fun. "
Lu Xiaofeng was obviously taken aback, he knew that Huang Yaoshi was powerful, and he also knew that A Fei could spot his friend's little tricks, his martial arts were definitely not low, but even the boat might not be able to hold——
He blinked: "Sister, don't you lie to us?"
Xie Linyun smiled, raised his hand and pointed towards the center of the lake: "If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."
Lu Xiaofeng followed her gestures and looked over, and he really saw the scene of the water curtain that is usually difficult to see being stirred up into the sky by the sword energy.
He exclaimed and turned his head, but he couldn't find the figure holding the gun.
The partner beside him reminded him: "That sister is going to the ferry."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Huh?"
Xie Linyun did go to the ferry, she picked a boat at random, and asked the boatman to take her to the middle of the lake.
The boatman was a little embarrassed, because he saw two figures, one black and one blue, fighting with immortals. He guessed that it was probably two martial arts masters, but Xie Linyun's moves were too generous, which made it hard for him not to be moved.
In the end, he still picked up the bamboo pole for punting, and said: "Girl, let's talk about it first, I'm timid, little old man, I don't dare to get too close to that side."
Xie Linyun hummed, saying that he didn't need to get too close.
"Then you sit still!" The boatman supported the bamboo pole, drove the boat away from the ferry, passed through the fog, and headed for the place where the lake was churning.
Facing the water, the humidity is heavy, swallowing most of the unforeseen summer heat. In addition, some people used force in the center of the lake, which brought gusts of wind, making this place even cooler.
The boatman raised his hand from time to time to wipe the water droplets on his face, and said, "I don't know what kind of powerful person it is, but it's so scary to move its hands!"
Xie Linyun thought, this is actually not scary at all, but for Huang Yaoshi, who has always been obsessed with cleanliness and pays attention to image, it is very rare.
After all, after this match, his clothes were definitely not suitable for wearing, not to mention dripping wet.
Thinking of these things, the boat under her also slowly stopped.
The boatman was not courageous enough, so he didn't dare to go any further, so he turned his head and asked her, holding the pole, "Miss, can you just stop?"
Xie Linyun nodded: "OK."
The boatman immediately put down his pole and sat down at the stern.
After sitting for a while, he suddenly said "Hey", took out an umbrella from the cage at the stern, and told Xie Linyun that it might rain again depending on the weather.
"I don't think you intend to go in and sit down, so take an umbrella."
Xie Linyun thought for a while, reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you, the boatman."
The boatman waved his hand: "The money you gave is enough for my family to eat for half a year! What is an umbrella..."
This boatman should be a native of Jiaxing. Although he speaks Mandarin, his tone of voice still has the flavor of Wu Nong's soft language, especially at the end of the sentence.
Xie Linyun heard it in her ears, and then looked at the two figures who were still fighting in front of her, and suddenly remembered the Wu dialect she heard from the half-asleep Huang Yaoshi in Luoyang two years ago.
She didn't take it very seriously at the time, firstly because he was a little vague, and secondly because he didn't understand.
But she has a good memory, and when she thinks about it after such a long time, she can almost restore that extremely fast sentence.
After thinking about it several times in her heart, she asked the boatman who was sitting back in the stern: "Is the boatman from Jiaxing?"
The boatman froze for a moment before nodding: "Yes, why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, just hearing the accent of the boatman, I remembered a friend from the past who is also from Jiangnan." Xie Linyun said.
"The Jiangnan accent is very detailed!" The boatman was probably very proud of this, and he beamed with joy while talking, "Young lady sounds like it, so it's probably from the area around Songjiang Mansion."
"Really?" Xie Linyun's eyes were calm, "Then let me learn from what he said to you and see if it is true."
"Okay, you say it is!" The boatman immediately tilted his head and listened.
Xie Linyun recounted Huang Yaoshi's dream.
After hearing this, the boatman smiled even more, and said: "It can't be wrong, your friend must be from this area, and you don't call mother that way elsewhere."
Xie Linyun: "Huh?!"
The boatman was inexplicable: "That sentence means, mother, don't worry, I'm fine, didn't the girl know?"
Xie Linyun really didn't know.
She only knew that Huang Yaoshi's parents left early, had no relatives at home, and lived a life of his own accord. In addition, he hardly mentioned his parents before, and of course it was even more impossible for him to think about it.
But speaking of his mother...
Xie Linyun frowned, reached out and took out a square-folded azure handkerchief from the pocket in his sleeve.
At the beginning, she felt that this handkerchief was of great significance to him, and she was not easy to take it away. Now that she accidentally learned that he had called his mother in his sleep in Luoyang at that time, her mood was even more complicated.
At the same time as it was complicated, she couldn't figure it out even more. He could give her such an important thing, so why would he break up with her without even giving a reason?
Thinking of this, the boatman's voice sounded again in his ears.
The boatman said anxiously: "Hey, the rain is coming too fast, girl, put your umbrella on."
When Xie Linyun looked up, he found that it was indeed raining around.
She put away her handkerchief, got up and opened the old yellowed oil-paper umbrella, and looked at the two people who were fighting in the middle of the lake again.
Nanhu Lake is not as big as Dongting, and her eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, so she can clearly see the situation of the battle.
She could see that Ah Fei's defeat was about to become apparent, but unlike the last time he fought against Hong Qi, this time he was not at all impatient about it.
During the movement of the sword, it was full of wildness and wantonness exactly like his master, which was very commensurate with the gust of wind and rain all over the lake.
After another ten moves, Ah Fei managed to stabilize the defeat.
This change made Xie Linyun curious, how will Huang Yaoshi deal with it next?
She could see clearly that so far, he has been fighting with sword moves, but in fact he knows more than sword skills?
The rain was getting heavier, and the oncoming water vapor made the fight even more tidal.
When Ah Fei performed Dugu Qiubai's most proud move, Xie Linyun saw that Huang Yaoshi dropped his sword and used his palm to receive the move, and at the same time borrowed the movement of his palm to take out the jade flute again.
In his hands, the jade flute was more like a weapon than a musical instrument, and it was almost played out.
The most astonishing thing was that in such a competition, he could still find time to play the flute.
It's just that the sound of the flute was not as whimpering as Xie Linyun remembered, but a little harsh, and in the end it directly overwhelmed the sound of the rain.
So Xie Linyun understood that this should not only be a piece of music, but also a method aimed at the internal strength of the listener.
Her internal strength is much better than Huang Yaoshi's, so it just feels a little jarring, A Fei is already a bit behind Huang Yaoshi, the impact is much greater, and even the movement of his sword moves is stagnant.
Final score.
Just as she expected in the restaurant.
The rain was still falling, hitting densely on the lake that was supposed to be calm again, the two stopped their hands and separated the bow and stern of the boat.
After looking at each other for about a breath, Huang Yaoshi spoke first.
Huang Yaoshi said: "Your sword is very good."
Ah Fei: "But I still lost."
Huang Yaoshi was uncommonly humble: "If you only compete with swords, then I will lose."
This is the truth, as proud as he is, he must admit that the talent of the black-clothed boy in front of him is extremely outstanding.
When Xie Linyun heard this, he turned around holding an umbrella and told the boatman to go over there.
The two of them were so busy fighting each other that they didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, and naturally they didn't notice that Xie Linyun was with them on the lake.
Now that the competition was over, Xie Linyun stopped holding his breath, and of course they immediately noticed that there was a boat heading towards them.
Then tilt your head at the same time.
A moment of surprise flashed across both faces.
In the next moment, Ah Fei turned from surprise to shame, but Huang Yaoshi put away all his expressions.
He didn't deliberately turn his eyes away from her, on the contrary, from the moment he saw her, his eyes had been on her and never moved away.
However, it just didn't move away.
He looked at her, through the rain curtain, with a calm expression, as if he didn't know her.
After the two ships were completely close together, nothing changed.
Xie Linyun's trip to the south of the Yangtze River was originally to meet him, and now that he had seen him earlier, he was in no hurry.
She simply ignored him, turned directly to Ah Fei and said, "Come here, this boatman will take you back to shore."
Ah Fei keenly sensed something wrong in her words, and asked, "Then the Lake Lord?"
Xie Linyun curled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said: "I still have something to talk to this young master."
Ah Fei was stunned, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly he seemed to understand something, his face turned pale, and said: "He is—"
Xie Linyun interrupted him: "Come here, take the boat back to the shore, find an inn to wash up, change clothes and buy an umbrella, then go wandering elsewhere."
He opened his mouth, and a trace of reluctance flashed across his face, but meeting Xie Linyun's gaze, he couldn't express that reluctance.
In the end, he jumped over sullenly, Xie Linyun handed him the umbrella in his hand, and said: "Actually, I played well just now, I didn't embarrass your master."
After all, she was going to the opposite boat.
After Ah Fei realized who the person he was fighting with was, her extremely gloomy expression in the late autumn of last year involuntarily appeared in her mind.
But he couldn't stop her from passing, he could only stand behind her, and when she was about to enter the rain curtain, he whispered the sentence he said before, don't be sad.
Xie Linyun heard it, but he didn't turn his head back. He just waved his hand at him as a farewell.
The next moment, she stepped into the rain, like a light swallow, skimmed over to the opposite ship.
The boatman took her money before, and obeyed her orders, and immediately pushed the boat back.
With such heavy rain, there were no pleasure boats on the lake. As soon as he and Ah Fei left, there was only the boat under Xie Linyun and Huang Yaoshi's feet left in the whole area.
Xie Linyun finally raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the boy in front of him.
She originally wanted to say one sentence, "See you for a long time", but when the words came to her lips, for some reason, she turned into another sentence.
"I sent Mr. Zhu back," she said. "He told me that he owed you a favor, and that's why he was willing to leave Jiangnan for the long journey to Dongting to build ships."
After hearing this, Huang Yaoshi was silent for a long time before whispering: "So?"
Xie Linyun looked at him fixedly: "So you are the one who won't abide by the agreement first, you can't refuse to see me, let alone pretend you don't know me."
Huang Yaoshi pursed his lips: "Xie Lake Master is number one in the world, who doesn't know?"
If it was Xie Linyun back then, most likely she would be turned upside down by his words, but now she can't get angry at all.
She knew that she would never be his match than her skill, so she might as well save some effort.
Thinking of this, she went straight into his cabin and said, "I don't want to get caught in the rain."
Huang Yaoshi could only follow in.
In fact, he really wanted to ridicule that since he didn't want to get in the rain, why did he give the umbrella to others, but it was too acidic to say it.
When we were outside the cabin earlier, because of the rain curtain like a bead curtain, the two of them couldn't see each other clearly.
After entering the cabin, although the light is even more dim, the sight is not blocked after all.Xie Linyun saw him sitting down in front of her with a calm expression, his clothes were soaked and his hair was dripping, he was in an unprecedented embarrassment, and for a moment he wanted to laugh.
"I thought you wouldn't agree to A Fei's request." Xie Linyun said.
"You were there?" He frowned.
"Otherwise, why would I come to this South Lake? It's just a place the size of a palm."
For some reason, Huang Yaoshi didn't answer.
Fortunately, the rain was still crackling outside the cabin, so they wouldn't be able to hear each other's breathing.
Xie Linyun could not wait for him to speak, clutching the handkerchief in his sleeve, he continued talking on his own.
"I came here specially to look for you." She said, "I originally planned to bring Mr. Zhu and A Fei to Jiaxing, and then go to your Peach Blossom Island to find you, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Huang Yaoshi remained silent.
"After you left in the mid-autumn festival last year, I stayed in seclusion for a while, but as soon as I came out, I heard about you from that boy Hong Qi." It's been here, what can't be said, Xie Linyun thought so, and simply said nothing Gu Ji, "I originally thought that since you regret knowing me, then I can't hold on to this matter."
"But maybe it's because my practice is not enough and the way is too shallow?" Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing at herself, "I haven't clarified this matter, I really can't just let it go."
The sound of raindrops hitting the deck of the ship gradually died down, and the sky outside tended to clear up.
The two people in the cabin were able to see each other more clearly.
Xie Linyun finally took out the handkerchief from his half-wet sleeve, and said: "You said that day, ups and downs, ups and downs, gathering and dispersing, are not determined by others."
"Let's not talk about the gathering, but this parting is indeed the main decision of you. You decided to break up with me and have nothing to do with it, but you left such an important thing to me, and even gave Mr. Zhu a favor to let him go to Dongting."
"Huang Yaoshi." She finally called out his name, "Aren't you acting like I've never known you before?"
After the last half sentence was spoken, the eyes of the person opposite finally became a little turbulent.
Xie Linyun grasped this wave, and continued word by word: "You obviously hope that I won't forget you for a moment, the attitude that makes me feel uncomfortable when I think of you, isn't it?"
Some girls in light Rorschach shirts even covered half of their faces with silk fans when they passed by, leaving only a pair of watery eyes, staring at people and laughing nonstop, and turning back to look twice after passing by.
And he stood under the willow tree and didn't care, as if what those people were talking about wasn't him at all.
On the street, the face of the kid who stopped Ah Fei before had completely collapsed.
He lowered his head and turned to Huang Yaoshi, saying, "I have learned the Luoying sword technique!"
"Really?" Huang Yaoshi raised his eyebrows, "Then I don't use my internal strength, and just use the moves in the Luoying swordsmanship to fight you?"
The child was suddenly speechless.
At this moment, Huang Yaoshi finally got off the boat and walked to the street.
He was holding a jade flute in the same color as his clothes, and his movements were very quick, but he didn't seem anxious at all.
After standing in front of A Fei, he pressed the child's head with his free hand, and then said to A Fei: "The two of them are playful and often play tricks on people by the South Lake, but apart from teasing, there is nothing to do." He agrees."
Ah Fei understood. He lowered his head and glanced at the other child he was holding in his hand. When he fell back on Huang Yaoshi, his eyes suddenly moved.
He looked at Huang Yaoshi and said, "Do you use a sword?"
Xie Linyun upstairs: "..." No?
Huang Yaoshi was also taken aback, but nodded immediately: "Yes."
A Fei let go: "I don't care about the two of them, but I want to fight with you."
If the person he invited to fight wasn't Huang Yaoshi, Xie Linyun might have lamented how quickly this kid got into the mood, and found someone to practice with as soon as he got off the restaurant.
But this youthful spirit was used on Huang Yaoshi, which made her a little worried.
Because she remembered that Hong Qi had said in the previous hegemony meeting that Huang Yaoshi had made rapid progress this year, and his level was already on par with him.
A Fei lost to Hong Qi in the competition for hegemony, and he came out to see the greatness of the world, and he had the purpose of rebuilding his confidence, and now he came up against someone who was on the same level as Hong Qi——
Xie Linyun didn't think it was appropriate, but she couldn't think of a proper reason to stop it.
You can't just jump down and tell A Fei that you can't beat this person now, it will also damage A Fei's confidence.
Just when she was thinking, Huang Yaoshi agreed happily: "Okay."
The kid named Lu Xiaofeng immediately let out a "wow", looking excited about a good show.
There are many restaurants beside the South Lake, even in the whole of Jiangnan, it is a very prosperous place, with people coming and going all year round, and there is a constant flow of cars and horses.
Ah Fei and Huang Yaoshi wanted to fight, so naturally they couldn't fight here. It happened that Huang Yaoshi had a boat, so they decided to fight on the lake.
Lu Xiaofeng dragged his betting companion to follow, but was ordered by Huang Yaoshi to stay on the shore.
He downcast again: "Ah? Why?"
Huang Yaoshi didn't answer, just turned around and got on the boat.Alfie followed closely behind.
On the shore street, Lu Xiaofeng was greatly disappointed, and said to his companion: "Hey, that person was able to catch you just now, he should be very good at martial arts, the fight between the two of them must be wonderful."
His companion obviously agreed with this point, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't we call another boatman to follow?"
The two children said they were about to go to the ferry, Xie Linyun saw it, and couldn't help but shook his head and clicked his tongue.
She left a bar of gold on the table to pay the bill, and popped a peanut out the window into the street.
The peanut shooting star usually flashes past their eyes, only a few centimeters away, and it will stick to the tip of their noses.Lu Xiaofeng studied martial arts with Huang Yaoshi for more than half a year, and he has seen some masters, so he immediately raised his head vigilantly: "Who?"
Xie Linyun didn't stick his head out of the window, just maintained his original sitting posture and said, "It's for your own good that he doesn't let you follow."
Lu Xiaofeng followed the voice to look over, and found that he couldn't see her appearance clearly, and became even more curious for a moment: "How do you know?"
Xie Linyun finally stood up, glanced at the green and black boat that was heading towards the center of the lake again, and said: "They really started to move their swords, and they may not even be able to keep the boat, so you don't want to join in the fun. "
Lu Xiaofeng was obviously taken aback, he knew that Huang Yaoshi was powerful, and he also knew that A Fei could spot his friend's little tricks, his martial arts were definitely not low, but even the boat might not be able to hold——
He blinked: "Sister, don't you lie to us?"
Xie Linyun smiled, raised his hand and pointed towards the center of the lake: "If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."
Lu Xiaofeng followed her gestures and looked over, and he really saw the scene of the water curtain that is usually difficult to see being stirred up into the sky by the sword energy.
He exclaimed and turned his head, but he couldn't find the figure holding the gun.
The partner beside him reminded him: "That sister is going to the ferry."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Huh?"
Xie Linyun did go to the ferry, she picked a boat at random, and asked the boatman to take her to the middle of the lake.
The boatman was a little embarrassed, because he saw two figures, one black and one blue, fighting with immortals. He guessed that it was probably two martial arts masters, but Xie Linyun's moves were too generous, which made it hard for him not to be moved.
In the end, he still picked up the bamboo pole for punting, and said: "Girl, let's talk about it first, I'm timid, little old man, I don't dare to get too close to that side."
Xie Linyun hummed, saying that he didn't need to get too close.
"Then you sit still!" The boatman supported the bamboo pole, drove the boat away from the ferry, passed through the fog, and headed for the place where the lake was churning.
Facing the water, the humidity is heavy, swallowing most of the unforeseen summer heat. In addition, some people used force in the center of the lake, which brought gusts of wind, making this place even cooler.
The boatman raised his hand from time to time to wipe the water droplets on his face, and said, "I don't know what kind of powerful person it is, but it's so scary to move its hands!"
Xie Linyun thought, this is actually not scary at all, but for Huang Yaoshi, who has always been obsessed with cleanliness and pays attention to image, it is very rare.
After all, after this match, his clothes were definitely not suitable for wearing, not to mention dripping wet.
Thinking of these things, the boat under her also slowly stopped.
The boatman was not courageous enough, so he didn't dare to go any further, so he turned his head and asked her, holding the pole, "Miss, can you just stop?"
Xie Linyun nodded: "OK."
The boatman immediately put down his pole and sat down at the stern.
After sitting for a while, he suddenly said "Hey", took out an umbrella from the cage at the stern, and told Xie Linyun that it might rain again depending on the weather.
"I don't think you intend to go in and sit down, so take an umbrella."
Xie Linyun thought for a while, reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you, the boatman."
The boatman waved his hand: "The money you gave is enough for my family to eat for half a year! What is an umbrella..."
This boatman should be a native of Jiaxing. Although he speaks Mandarin, his tone of voice still has the flavor of Wu Nong's soft language, especially at the end of the sentence.
Xie Linyun heard it in her ears, and then looked at the two figures who were still fighting in front of her, and suddenly remembered the Wu dialect she heard from the half-asleep Huang Yaoshi in Luoyang two years ago.
She didn't take it very seriously at the time, firstly because he was a little vague, and secondly because he didn't understand.
But she has a good memory, and when she thinks about it after such a long time, she can almost restore that extremely fast sentence.
After thinking about it several times in her heart, she asked the boatman who was sitting back in the stern: "Is the boatman from Jiaxing?"

"It's nothing, just hearing the accent of the boatman, I remembered a friend from the past who is also from Jiangnan." Xie Linyun said.
"The Jiangnan accent is very detailed!" The boatman was probably very proud of this, and he beamed with joy while talking, "Young lady sounds like it, so it's probably from the area around Songjiang Mansion."
"Really?" Xie Linyun's eyes were calm, "Then let me learn from what he said to you and see if it is true."
"Okay, you say it is!" The boatman immediately tilted his head and listened.
Xie Linyun recounted Huang Yaoshi's dream.
After hearing this, the boatman smiled even more, and said: "It can't be wrong, your friend must be from this area, and you don't call mother that way elsewhere."
Xie Linyun: "Huh?!"
The boatman was inexplicable: "That sentence means, mother, don't worry, I'm fine, didn't the girl know?"
Xie Linyun really didn't know.
She only knew that Huang Yaoshi's parents left early, had no relatives at home, and lived a life of his own accord. In addition, he hardly mentioned his parents before, and of course it was even more impossible for him to think about it.
But speaking of his mother...
Xie Linyun frowned, reached out and took out a square-folded azure handkerchief from the pocket in his sleeve.

It's just that the sound of the flute was not as whimpering as Xie Linyun remembered, but a little harsh, and in the end it directly overwhelmed the sound of the rain.
So Xie Linyun understood that this should not only be a piece of music, but also a method aimed at the internal strength of the listener.
Her internal strength is much better than Huang Yaoshi's, so it just feels a little jarring, A Fei is already a bit behind Huang Yaoshi, the impact is much greater, and even the movement of his sword moves is stagnant.
Final score.
Just as she expected in the restaurant.
The rain was still falling, hitting densely on the lake that was supposed to be calm again, the two stopped their hands and separated the bow and stern of the boat.
After looking at each other for about a breath, Huang Yaoshi spoke first.
Huang Yaoshi said: "Your sword is very good."
Ah Fei: "But I still lost."
Huang Yaoshi was uncommonly humble: "If you only compete with swords, then I will lose."
This is the truth, as proud as he is, he must admit that the talent of the black-clothed boy in front of him is extremely outstanding.
When Xie Linyun heard this, he turned around holding an umbrella and told the boatman to go over there.
The two of them were so busy fighting each other that they didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, and naturally they didn't notice that Xie Linyun was with them on the lake.
Now that the competition was over, Xie Linyun stopped holding his breath, and of course they immediately noticed that there was a boat heading towards them.
Then tilt your head at the same time.
A moment of surprise flashed across both faces.
In the next moment, Ah Fei turned from surprise to shame, but Huang Yaoshi put away all his expressions.
He didn't deliberately turn his eyes away from her, on the contrary, from the moment he saw her, his eyes had been on her and never moved away.
However, it just didn't move away.
He looked at her, through the rain curtain, with a calm expression, as if he didn't know her.
After the two ships were completely close together, nothing changed.
Xie Linyun's trip to the south of the Yangtze River was originally to meet him, and now that he had seen him earlier, he was in no hurry.
She simply ignored him, turned directly to Ah Fei and said, "Come here, this boatman will take you back to shore."
Ah Fei keenly sensed something wrong in her words, and asked, "Then the Lake Lord?"
Xie Linyun curled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said: "I still have something to talk to this young master."
Ah Fei was stunned, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly he seemed to understand something, his face turned pale, and said: "He is—"
Xie Linyun interrupted him: "Come here, take the boat back to the shore, find an inn to wash up, change clothes and buy an umbrella, then go wandering elsewhere."
He opened his mouth, and a trace of reluctance flashed across his face, but meeting Xie Linyun's gaze, he couldn't express that reluctance.
In the end, he jumped over sullenly, Xie Linyun handed him the umbrella in his hand, and said: "Actually, I played well just now, I didn't embarrass your master."
After all, she was going to the opposite boat.
After Ah Fei realized who the person he was fighting with was, her extremely gloomy expression in the late autumn of last year involuntarily appeared in her mind.
But he couldn't stop her from passing, he could only stand behind her, and when she was about to enter the rain curtain, he whispered the sentence he said before, don't be sad.
Xie Linyun heard it, but he didn't turn his head back. He just waved his hand at him as a farewell.
The next moment, she stepped into the rain, like a light swallow, skimmed over to the opposite ship.
The boatman took her money before, and obeyed her orders, and immediately pushed the boat back.
With such heavy rain, there were no pleasure boats on the lake. As soon as he and Ah Fei left, there was only the boat under Xie Linyun and Huang Yaoshi's feet left in the whole area.
Xie Linyun finally raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the boy in front of him.
She originally wanted to say one sentence, "See you for a long time", but when the words came to her lips, for some reason, she turned into another sentence.
"I sent Mr. Zhu back," she said. "He told me that he owed you a favor, and that's why he was willing to leave Jiangnan for the long journey to Dongting to build ships."
After hearing this, Huang Yaoshi was silent for a long time before whispering: "So?"
Xie Linyun looked at him fixedly: "So you are the one who won't abide by the agreement first, you can't refuse to see me, let alone pretend you don't know me."
Huang Yaoshi pursed his lips: "Xie Lake Master is number one in the world, who doesn't know?"
If it was Xie Linyun back then, most likely she would be turned upside down by his words, but now she can't get angry at all.
She knew that she would never be his match than her skill, so she might as well save some effort.
Thinking of this, she went straight into his cabin and said, "I don't want to get caught in the rain."
Huang Yaoshi could only follow in.
In fact, he really wanted to ridicule that since he didn't want to get in the rain, why did he give the umbrella to others, but it was too acidic to say it.
When we were outside the cabin earlier, because of the rain curtain like a bead curtain, the two of them couldn't see each other clearly.
After entering the cabin, although the light is even more dim, the sight is not blocked after all.Xie Linyun saw him sitting down in front of her with a calm expression, his clothes were soaked and his hair was dripping, he was in an unprecedented embarrassment, and for a moment he wanted to laugh.
"I thought you wouldn't agree to A Fei's request." Xie Linyun said.
"You were there?" He frowned.
"Otherwise, why would I come to this South Lake? It's just a place the size of a palm."
For some reason, Huang Yaoshi didn't answer.
Fortunately, the rain was still crackling outside the cabin, so they wouldn't be able to hear each other's breathing.
Xie Linyun could not wait for him to speak, clutching the handkerchief in his sleeve, he continued talking on his own.
"I came here specially to look for you." She said, "I originally planned to bring Mr. Zhu and A Fei to Jiaxing, and then go to your Peach Blossom Island to find you, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Huang Yaoshi remained silent.
"After you left in the mid-autumn festival last year, I stayed in seclusion for a while, but as soon as I came out, I heard about you from that boy Hong Qi." It's been here, what can't be said, Xie Linyun thought so, and simply said nothing Gu Ji, "I originally thought that since you regret knowing me, then I can't hold on to this matter."
"But maybe it's because my practice is not enough and the way is too shallow?" Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing at herself, "I haven't clarified this matter, I really can't just let it go."
The sound of raindrops hitting the deck of the ship gradually died down, and the sky outside tended to clear up.
The two people in the cabin were able to see each other more clearly.
Xie Linyun finally took out the handkerchief from his half-wet sleeve, and said: "You said that day, ups and downs, ups and downs, gathering and dispersing, are not determined by others."
"Let's not talk about the gathering, but this parting is indeed the main decision of you. You decided to break up with me and have nothing to do with it, but you left such an important thing to me, and even gave Mr. Zhu a favor to let him go to Dongting."
"Huang Yaoshi." She finally called out his name, "Aren't you acting like I've never known you before?"
After the last half sentence was spoken, the eyes of the person opposite finally became a little turbulent.
Xie Linyun grasped this wave, and continued word by word: "You obviously hope that I won't forget you for a moment, the attitude that makes me feel uncomfortable when I think of you, isn't it?"
