Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 51

Jiahui for four years.

winter.

A branch of the Xiuzhu River flows through the high and low areas, and is led down by bamboo pipes, and flows into various houses, and each family pours the bamboo pipes to get water.At the beginning, this project was only connected to the old couple's house, which was used by Yunli to raise fish; later, Meizi saw that it was good, and asked Yanshan to lead a bamboo canal to the door of his house.Since then, bamboo has been popularized, and people with terrain conditions have diverted water according to law.

Su Tong sent a letter to Yunjue at the end of autumn, hoping that Yunyao could help take care of the old things of the old man and take care of the house of the two of them, waiting for the return of old Cheng Cheng.Yunyao told Yunli that Su Tong's relatives' belongings and houses should be handled by him. At first, Yunli was inexplicably annoyed and said that it had nothing to do with him, but then he changed his mind and went to live in the old couple's house. down.

Yun Li tidied up the houses of the two old people by himself, without resting. Seeing that the vegetable fields in the garden were barren, he dug up the soil to make a fish pond.He bought goldfish from Xiao Gen and raised them in the pond. He felt that stagnant water was not suitable for raising fish, so he had a whim to divert water from the Xiuzhu River and then opened a small ditch to drain it.

Busy until winter, there seemed to be no place left for him to renovate, so he ran to the city and hired a porcelain maker to spread a layer of ceramics on the bottom of the fish pond for him.

The neighbors came to see the fish pond created by Mr. Yun in their spare time, and saw that he had placed stone tables and benches in the middle of the fish pond.

But Yunli just wanted to divert attention.

Then he found that no matter how many things he had to do, he would eventually have time to spare, and the attention he deliberately removed would still come back.

And he just realized now that since he had the idea of ​​raising goldfish, it meant that the troublesome things had never been temporarily forgotten.It's funny to say that he has done so many so-called time-filling things, but they are all for raising goldfish.

Yun Li closed the courtyard door, and sat on the table alone to watch the fish.

Only then did he really understand why Su Tong liked goldfish.

No matter how sensible, far-sighted, and focused a person is, he will always be tired and annoyed after doing the right things to settle down for a long time.The teenager raised his head from the pile of books, watching the goldfish pass away, come and go, how leisurely; for a determined teenager, this is the most "safe" way of entertainment.This kind of enjoyment comes from the natural spirit and is not disturbed by miscellaneous thoughts and superficial pleasures.

Yun Li reached for the basket that came with it, scooped up two fish from the school of fish and took a closer look.

There is no shortage of goldfish in Siming Wonderland, and with his current state of mind, Yunli feels that this is the first time he has seen goldfish, and the two lives in the basket have a strange and lively beauty.

He suddenly remembered that he had carved many wood carvings in Nuoyinge, but he hadn't carved goldfish yet.

After watching for a while, Yun Li put the goldfish back.

Uh, don't want to think about the fish anymore.

In the next few days, he put aside the fish pond and changed to two points and one line between the teahouse and Baiyin Temple.He finished talking about his father and his mother's book written by mortals, and the green light turned into shadows combined with the fairy's infatuation and resentment, and he harvested countless tears and money.Yunli somewhat regained the feeling of doing his old job, thinking that if he returned to Siming Wonderland, he wouldn't lose his ability to eat.

Then he went to Baiyin Temple to offer incense to Su Tong.

As soon as he read it, there was a sense of desolation like an old lady praying for a wanderer far away.

I finally started to admit that I was uncomfortable.

He failed to digest Su Tong's eyes, and thought sourly that maybe a lot of feelings were his own wishful thinking.Su Tong always let him mess around with him sometimes, but that's because of the tolerance of a gentleman; no matter who he treats Su Juegui, he will be gentle and humble, and he pretends to be the misery of the world in his heart.Su Juegui's lofty ambitions were flying high in the nine heavens, and he couldn't even climb to the roof of Nuoyin Pavilion.

He thought he should write this person to death, anyway, his books for a hundred years are all tragedies, not many of them.

In fact, he still insisted on offering incense to Su Tong.

No matter how much Yunli kneaded, he couldn't knead Su Tong into the same shadow as the person in the old book.If it can't be rubbed into a shadow, then the person is still bright; wherever it is placed, the bright color will stick into the peripheral vision.

The south wall is so hard that it hurts my head.

It's three o'clock, and after talking about books and burning incense, I went back to the house to watch the goldfish.

Xiuzhu in winter was cold and wet, Yunli wrapped up the quilt and sat at the door.So paralyzed, and thinking that the bastard Su Tong would not go home, the old mother's feeling of longing for her son became stronger for a while.It was short of a pot of charcoal fire, but Yun Li fell asleep despite the cold, and in his dream he heard someone saying that he wanted to catch fish to eat.

Uh, it wasn't a dream, he was woken up by the tail of a fish.

Yun Li trembled, subconsciously lifted the quilt and stood up.The first time he woke up, he saw the fish that had thrown his face into the water had fallen to the ground and was sliding back into the pond along the slightly sloping ground.Naturally, the fish didn't grow wings and fly by itself; the courtyard door was left open, and two people sneaked in to steal the fish, but accidentally let the fish slip away.

Recently, Yunli was "infiltrated by the air of Baiyin Temple", and he was very compassionate. His first reaction was to see if the fish was injured.Seeing that Yuyu is still active, Yunli relaxes, so much so that he ignores the two uninvited guests.The two fishers looked at each other, understanding the division of labor, one of them quickly cut Yunli's hands back, and the other dived into the water and tried to catch the fish again.

Suddenly, a green light flashed, and the person who "controlled" Yunli suffered disaster, and flew away without paying attention.The "broken sword" that had cultivated its temper got out of its sheath in good time, tied the collar of the man in the water, and brought him ashore.

The two of them knew they had offended the wrong person, so they got together and knelt down.

Yun Li held on to the "broken sword": "Have you ever heard that goldfish meat is delicious?"

One of them buried his head, and the other raised his head and said bitterly, "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry."

Their clothes were ragged, their necks were dirty, and the soles of their shoes were torn, as if they had fled from afar.The one with her head buried was a girl, she secretly glanced at Yunli, and immediately closed her eyes tightly, as if begging for death in despair.

Yun Li patted "Broken Sword", letting it return to its sheath obediently, don't scare people here.He turned sideways to avoid the kowtow of the middle-aged man on the ground, said "Get up first", and went back to the house to get some food.The people who came should be father and daughter, the middle-aged man stuffed all the things Yunli gave into the girl's hands, but the girl couldn't hold it anymore, so he picked up a steamed bun that rolled on the ground and chewed.

The girl cried as she ate, followed her father to mumble a few words of "thank you", and let the tears burst into two incongruous gaps on her ashes-covered face.

The girl dripped water, and her skirt was not only torn, but also soaked.Yun Li's "grandmaid's quilt" was not in vain, and it happened to cover her to keep out the cold at this time.

The man had a full stomach, and when he reached the point of his mouth, "A good man will live a safe life", Yun Li stopped him back: "Where are you two from? What happened at home?"

The mouth was empty, and the voice of the middle-aged man was clear, and the accent was still from Shuzhou: "North."

Yunli: "Is there any trouble in the north?"

The man said: "In the north and west of Shuzhou, there is Shazhou on the top, and Manzi on the left. In the early winters, Manzi would wander around, but they only robbed a few families, and the winter passed. There are especially many barbarians this year, and it seems that an army will be formed to attack... If that group of people comes in, not only us in the north of Shu, but the entire Shu Prefecture will flee."

The girl murmured: "It was fine. When winter was about to enter, the emperor sent troops to attack. We were very happy at first, thinking that we would not have to worry about it in the future. Who would have thought that the soldiers in the capital drove the barbarians away?" After a few miles, I went back. The savages are tyrannical, if we don’t provoke them, they won’t sting like a wasp…” The girl said sadly, but her father gave her a sideways glance to shut her up.

There are really Jiahui everywhere.

Yunli: "The group of people walked from north to south?"

The man said: "Not only that, but it was divided into several branches, and they were scattered very much. The barbarians came in from the gap between the two states. The upper ones went to Shazhou, and the lower ones entered our Shuzhou. The big ones are like this, and the small ones are still there." Can be divided." Yunli: "Shazhou also has it?" The man said: "Yes, there must be. Although the winter in Shazhou is heavy with snow, it is not much better than their barbarian place, but after all, Shazhou has food reserves .”

Yunli: "Has the capital sent any more troops?"

The man looked complicated and said: "The prefect of Shazhou has already reported it, but the north has been covered by heavy snow and ice, letters and soldiers, no matter whether it is going through the snow or going south, the time is not 01:30. I heard people say If soldiers from different states are called across states, they have to report to Beijing. Yes, yes, young master, can you see the prefect of Shuzhou? If you can, can you see him, let him send a message from Shuzhou?"

Yun Li agreed to him, and asked again: "Did you know that at the end of autumn, a Beijing official named Su Tong came to Shazhou?"

The man thought for a while and said, "Shubei is not far from Shazhou Prefect's Mansion, it seems... I heard that there is a man named..."

The girl continued, "Master Su."

The man said: "Oh yes, everyone calls him Mr. Su. I just don't know if that one is the Beijing official you mentioned, young master. After all, all the officials have jobs and titles, let alone come from the capital."

Yun Li asked inwardly, "Has he left yet?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know. But you said he went to the sandbar at the end of autumn, and he probably still keeps it now."

Before the father and daughter could recover, they were pushed out of the courtyard by Yun Li.Yunli locked the old couple's house, and led the father and daughter back to Yunjue.When we arrived at Yunjue, we saw dozens of refugees lined up in two rows in the bamboo forest.Yun Li walked up the line, and saw Xu Zhen and a few celestial beings at the front, working together to distribute bowls of porridge.

Xu Zhen raised his head to say hello: "Mr. Yunli, you are back."

Yunli: "Where's Jun Yao?"

Xu Zhen said: "I was dragged to the prefect's mansion to deliver the letter."

Yun Li turned his head and said to the father and daughter who were following behind: "You are staying here for a while, here, there are so many people, don't worry." Is the young master going away?" While Yun Li answered the girl, he also told Xu Zhen, "I'm going to Shazhou."

Xu Zhen stopped the porridge spoon in his hand, seemingly surprised: "Mr. Yunli?"

Yunli: "When Mr. Jun Yao comes back later, you can tell him." The girl's father worried: "Young master, why are you going to Shazhou?" Yunli: "Go and curse." Without waiting for the two to react, He summoned the "Broken Sword" and quickly walked out of the bamboo forest.

The further north you go, the stronger the wind.

There is a little snow in northern Shu.

There is blood red in the snow.

There is dead silence in red.

Yunli only spent one day and one night in the five-day journey of Kuaima.

From Xiuzhu to the north of Shuzhou, the population is gradually thinning; from the border of the two states to the north, the number of people living as usual gradually increases.In mid-air, Yun Li occasionally heard a mix of rough and mournful voices, but before he heard it clearly, the sound of the wind reduced everything to innocence.Said it was a snowstorm, but in fact it was selfishness to deceive others.

Yun Li was covered in snow, and rushed towards the Shazhou prefect's mansion while holding his sword.

The gatekeeper was tense, thinking that the man with the sword was a barbarian, so he closed the door and reported.Not long after, an old man with a white beard led people out to see him; the old man was full of energy and spirit, wearing a military uniform with a long knife in his hand.The gatekeeper called him "Master Taishou" and carefully pointed out to him the "barbarian" standing at the gate.

The prefect of Shazhou saw at a glance that the person standing outside the door was not a barbarian, but a prince of Xia Guo, so he opened the door and asked the doorman to get some hot water quickly.

Yunli entered the door by himself, and the people in the prefect's mansion classified him as a fugitive in their hearts, and the prefect didn't let him in, so they let him in.

In the yard, there were actually a few young scholars from the civil and military department that night.The scholars were sitting around the fire to keep warm. When Yun Li looked at them, he felt that his eyes were full of double images, but he could vaguely discern that they were all intact and without any sadness on their faces, so for some reason they lost their support, and their legs felt limp fall down.

The servant helped him to the guest room and lit a stove to warm his hands.

After closing his eyes for a while, he guided Xianli to turn his body around, and the icicles on his eyebrows slowly melted.Yunli finally felt better, and he wouldn't be embarrassed by the cold.

The servant poured hot water: "Young master, do you want some wine? I'll heat it up."

Yun Li thanked him and said no.

The servant said: "Young Master, it seems that you are not from Shazhou?"

Yunli: "...from Shuzhou."

The servant said "oh", "It should be in the north of Shuzhou?"

Yunli: "Xiuzhu."

The servant was surprised: "At present, in Shuzhou, only those fleeing from north to south, there are still people traveling from south to north? What does the young master do?"

Yun Li just wanted to quickly find out what he wanted to know: "Where is Mr. Su?"

The servant looked at Yunli Yitong, put down the kettle, and said, "Young Master Su has led a troop to the north of Shu Province. Young Master, you are going to..."

Yun Li coughed violently: "He? Leader?"

The servant said: "I'm afraid the soldiers in the capital will not be able to arrive for a while. The barbarians have no direction. The prefect and the leader of Rongweitai divided the soldiers in Shazhou into several groups to chase the barbarians from all directions. There are not enough generals, not to mention Mr. Su who is in charge of civil and military affairs, seeing that the prefect and the chief of Rongweitai are all planning to lead the army in person."

Yun Li beat the hand stove: "The ones from the civil and military department didn't go?"

The servant said: "Young master, the young masters outside say they are civil and military subjects, but after all they were raised in the study. Those few also want to lead the army, but the prefect thinks that they are still children, so he won't let them move." ...Uh, where are you going, little master? I see that your face is frostbitten, if there is an emergency, I will give you some medicine before leaving."

Yunli comes as fast as he goes.He was upset, but he didn't know who he was angry with.

You Su Tong were not raised in the study?

How old are you, are you not a child?

Yunli Yujian flew low, and when he saw someone fighting, he threw a green light down and stunned two groups of people first.The so-called barbarians act scattered and hold inferior weapons, so wherever there is a battle, the "barbarians" and the people of the Xia Kingdom combined are less than a hundred people.

After the green light took effect, Yun Li picked out something like a rope, and tied up the group of "barbarian" clothes, so that after the two groups of people woke up, the Xia people would have an advantage.

After repeating this many times, Yunli felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

However, the mood soon fell down.

There is no Su Tong in this team, and there is no Su Tong in this team.

He almost crossed the border between Shubei and Shunan.

Yun Li felt tired, so he sat on the "Broken Sword" to rest.Wait, wait, wait, it suddenly occurred to him that he had skipped a group of people before.That group of people was huge, all dressed in "barbarian" attire, and it seemed that they hadn't fought against the Xia people for a while... But he only glanced at it, how could he know that they hadn't fought against the Xia people?

Now what he was thinking was that he didn't go to Baiyin Temple to offer incense to Su Tong today.

"Broken Sword" seemed to understand him, turned around and flew back.

The group is still there because they are not marching, hundreds of people are sitting cross-legged facing the same direction.

Like watching something.

Yunli asked "Broken Sword" to slow down, lower down, suppress the sound and descend to the ground.He walked around to the back of the group of "barbarians" and followed their line of sight.

The whole body is cold.

This group of people is facing a cave, and there are dozens of people in the cave!

The cave was actually born on a low mountain, and there were dense evergreen trees growing on the short mountain, and because of the obstructed vision, Yunli was unable to spot the people in the cave just now.

In the cave is Su Tong and a team led by him.

Su Tong stuck the sword into the ground and sat upright, his clothes stained with blood.The Shazhou soldiers behind him were in the same position as him. Everyone was tired and wounded, but no one fell down.There were also injuries outside the cave, and the wounds were wrapped in cloth.

The way the two groups confront each other is really strange.They just sat quietly, no one seemed to be injured, and it didn't look like a winner was decided at all.

More like waiting for something.

Suddenly, a hole opened in the sky above the short mountain, and a glazed beam of light shot down directly.

What the two groups of people were waiting for was obviously not this strange light. Many people subconsciously stood up with expressions of admiration and fear.A piece of music played by a pipa escaped from the beam of light. The music moved from far to near, and the sound of jade beads falling into the plate hit everyone's eardrums.

At the end of the song, a woman with a graceful figure floated down slowly, her hair scattered, as if she was waving in the water or being lifted up by butterflies.

The woman covered her face with her sleeves, holding a pipa in one hand, her eyes staring at the autumn water curved into crescent arcs.

Afterwards, she let go of her hand, and the pipa did not fall, but was held in the air by invisible silk threads, fluttering like feathers.The woman covered her face with one hand, stretched out her index finger with the other hand, and the fingertips drew lines woven by white light.The line fell on the ground, forming a dividing line with temperature between the two groups of people outside the cave and in the cave.

After drawing the boundaries, the woman put down her sleeves.

The "barbarians" outside the cave bowed down immediately.

Yun Li took a closer look.

Uh.

Master.

Mu Zhe practiced musical instruments, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days. After living for so long, he could play a piece of a musical instrument.Her way of appearing on the stage is to turn out the bottom line.

Show is okay.
