Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 7

Xiao Yufang was reading a book in the study.

In the past few years, the family situation has deteriorated day by day, and the valuables at home are either pawned or stolen, so they have to use utensils that are only a little stronger than ordinary people to support them, and the study is no exception.Forget about incense and camphor, and even the desk has been replaced with an unpainted one, which is very shabby.Thinking about the affluent life in the past, and thinking about the difficult situation now, she was really emotional, but she still faced it calmly, and never complained about the injustice of fate.It's useless to complain, fate doesn't know what you are at all, it's just a waste of effort.

She read Song Ci.Lighting a candle every night and appreciating these exquisite and beautiful words is her greatest happiness. Sometimes it takes two hours to read, and she can't bear to release the scroll.But today she was obviously a little absent-minded, and looked away from the book from time to time, looking out the door, or pricking up her ears to listen, which is very rare for a person like her who loves reading.This can't be blamed on her, a stranger came to the house, and you wouldn't feel comfortable replacing you, let alone a helpless big girl.Seeing that Yang Menglong was pitiful, she cooked a bowl of barley porridge, asked Xiao Jun to ask Yang Menglong to come in to eat, and then vacated a room for him to stay for one night. did.It's just that this time it's different, she always feels a little uneasy.

Because Yang Menglong's origin is unknown, and he is also carrying a knife.If he wanted to harm her and Mr. Xiao, then she would really have led the wolf into the house, calling him not to do it every day, and calling him ineffective.

Xiao Jun couldn't understand his sister's worries. He was still chattering to Yang Menglong, and the two of them chatted about everything.Most of the time, it was Yang Menglong who was talking, and Xiao Jun was exclaiming "Oh, oh, wow, ah," and I didn't know what the guy said to fool Xiao Jun into this.Xiao Yufang simply closed the book and listened attentively, wanting to hear what Yang Menglong was talking about, so she heard:
A child was born, and this child was extraordinary. As soon as he was born, the room was filled with light, birds were circling on the roof, and purple haze rose faintly from the chimney, showing the extraordinaryness of this child.He is also really extraordinary, no, the midwife just washed the blood off his body and carried him out of the delivery room, when he yelled at his grandfather: "Grandpa!" As a result, the grandfather fell back on the spot and died.He called out "Grandma", and Grandma died too.Seeing the little thing looking at him, his father turned pale with shock, and stretched out his hand to cover the little thing's mouth, but he was still a step too late, the little thing yelled: "Father!" As a result, the old Wang next door died!

Xiao Jun grinned, and asked curiously after laughing: "Why is the old Wang next door dead? He obviously called Daddy."

Yang Menglong laughed straight: "Because the old Wang next door is his father."

Jun Xiao suddenly realized: "I see, he is a bastard!"

Yang Menglong praised repeatedly: "A child can be taught, a child can be taught!"

Xiao Yufang's cheeks were flushed, she spat lightly, and called, "Little Jun, come here! It's time for you to practice calligraphy!"

Xiaojun reluctantly said: "I'm going to practice calligraphy first, we'll talk tomorrow, and remember to tell me a few more funny jokes tomorrow."

Yang Menglong said carelessly: "Go, go, we will talk tomorrow."

Only then did Xiaojun walk into the study slowly, holding a bunch of messy things in his hand, and closing the door of the study, the monkey offered treasures and called: "Sister, he gave me a lot of fun things!"

Xiao Yufang asked: "Did I give you any fun things?"

Xiaojun put his trophies on the table one by one: "This is a harmonica. He said that he can play wonderful music with it. I played it twice, and the sound is very nice; this is chocolate. I ate half of it." , it’s delicious, sister, you should try it too! This is An Pisan, he said there are many good songs in it..."

What the hell is this?
Xiao Yufang looked at the small pile of messy things on the table, and there was a huge question mark in her mind.She has seen the world, but let alone these things, she has never heard of them!Still in a daze, Xiao Jun had already stuffed the last half of Dove chocolate into her mouth. Suddenly, that sweet and wonderful taste spread from the tip of her tongue to every cell in her body, and she was instantly captured. .Chocolate is the killer of girls, and this law is the same in ancient times.Seeing her sister's intoxicated expression, Jun Xiao asked proudly, "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Yufang nodded lightly: "Yes, it's delicious."

Xiao Jun said regretfully: "It's a pity, he said he only had this piece left, and he would have nothing to eat in the future. Sister, you try this." He picked up the harmonica and handed it to Xiao Yufang.Xiao Yufang looked at it over and over again, thinking about it, and couldn't figure out how to use it for a long time, but this thing was really delicately made, and she had to admit that she had never seen such a delicate thing.Seeing that she didn't know how to use it, Jun Xiao became proud again, and wanted to come over and blow in like Yang Menglong, and a few notes floated out from inside.He doesn't know how to play it yet, so of course he can't play any pleasant melodies, but Xiao Yufang was slightly surprised by the very special tone: "Is this a musical instrument?"

"It's called a harmonica. Since it's a piano, of course it's a musical instrument." Jun Xiao put down the harmonica, picked up the "An Pi San" and pressed it. The screen of this little thing lit up immediately, and Yui Hatano's jade photo appeared on the screen. On the table, she has a pretty face and a flowery smile.

Scream!

Such a beautiful girl popped up on the black and black screen suddenly, Xiao Yufang screamed in fright, her face paled, she shrank to the side and shouted in horror: "This... what kind of monster is this? Why is there someone imprisoned in it? ? Jun, throw it away! Throw it away!"

Xiao Jun has obviously experienced such a panic, and he can understand her sister's mood very well, and said carelessly: "Don't worry, sister, this is not a monster. Brother Menglong said it is a magical weapon, and there is a happy person living in it." Xian, yes, this is the one you saw, she is responsible for presenting beautiful music for everyone."

Artifact?

Hearing that it was a divine weapon, Xiao Yufang's heart calmed down a little.This kind of electronic products that have been everywhere in the streets after hundreds of years is placed in the late Ming Dynasty. It is simply unimaginable, completely beyond the scope of their cognition, and they can only regard these things that they cannot understand as artifacts or monsters. Although Yang Menglong's explanation is lame , but the siblings still believed it.In order to prove that he was not lying, Xiaojun followed Yang Menglong's unskilled operation, picked out a song from it, and clicked the play command. Immediately, ethereal music with a hint of melancholy sounded, just a prelude Just grabbed Xiao Yufang's heart, and fell into the beautiful notes and couldn't extricate herself.

What Xiaojun played was "The Original Scenery of Hometown", a masterpiece of immortal ocarina performance, ethereal flute sound and melancholy melody, which became popular all over the world.Music is the common language of all mankind. It can cross borders and travel through time and space. No matter which country or era you come from, you will be intoxicated when you hear these beautiful music.No, only half of the song was played, and Xiao Yufang believed Yang Menglong's nonsense, and decided that there was indeed a music fairy living in this artifact. Besides the artifact, who else could play such a beautiful song? song.

After a song was played, Jun Xiao shook his head and asked, "How about it, sister, do you believe it now?"

Xiao Yufang was still engrossed in the music: "Well...it is indeed a divine weapon."

Xiaojun became more and more proud: "It can not only play the flute, but also play the guzheng!" After clicking again, the extremely beautiful and beautiful sound of the zither sounded, and the pearls were round and smooth, as if a string of pearls had fallen into a jade plate. Xiao Yufang exclaimed: "It's so beautiful..."

Yang Menglong listened outside, feeling a little complacent.It seems that it is quite useful to download some ancient music at ordinary times. For example, the song "Original Scenery of Hometown" just now, for example, this song "Cold Sky" played by the guzheng, I am afraid that the talented woman has been completely conquered, right?It's a pity, he wasn't the one who fiddled with these things in front of her, he made that brat cheap for nothing, the limelight should belong to him!
After the song "Cold Sky" was played, I heard Xiaojun shouting happily: "Sister, isn't it nice?"

Xiao Yufang's voice sounded like she was dreaming: "It sounds good..."

Xiaojun said: "This artifact is really powerful. It is so small that it can hold Le Xian and so many musical instruments!"

Yang Menglong secretly laughed, idiot, its space is not small, okay?With [-]G memory, downloading hundreds of thousands of songs is not an easy and pleasant thing!

Xiao Yufang seemed to be thinking about something, and she was silent for a long time without hearing her speak.Xiaojun asked: "Sister, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yufang's voice seemed a bit hesitant: "Brother, let's... let's release Le Xian, okay? She is locked in such a small space by herself, how lonely and uncomfortable."

Yang Menglong: "..."

Xiao Jun's voice was also hesitant: "How to play it?"

Xiao Yufang: "How about...we smash it open?"

Yang Menglong: "..."

Damn, I've gone too far in bragging. Why are you so stubborn that you call MP3 an artifact? Now I want to show mercy, smash the artifact, and release the music fairy trapped inside!But, what else can we do otherwise?Should we directly tell the siblings that this is actually an ordinary electronic product that can be found all over the street?I'm afraid that before he can finish his explanation, Princess Tianxian will grab the broom and kick him out to drink the northwest wind!Forget it, just smash it. Anyway, I gave it to Xiao Jun. How to deal with it is the matter of the two siblings. He is out of sight and out of mind. Go to sleep!
Xiao Jun—or the room that Xiao Yufang prepared for him was right next to the study room. It was very clean, the mat was a little old, and the quilt was covered with patches, but the cold wind blew in the wild for three days and three nights. Afterwards, such a bed and a quilt were almost like heaven to Yang Menglong.He got into bed comfortably and closed his eyes.The argument between the siblings kept drilling into his ears. Xiaojun disagreed with life and death to smash the MP3, but Xiao Yufang thought it should be smashed and let Lexian out. No serious words, full of good temper.After arguing for a long time, I was still reluctant after all, for fear that I would be punished by God if I smashed the artifact, so I continued to play the music. "Bamboo Dance", "Painting Heart", "Lullaby", "Kiss You", "Distant Mother", "Pipa Language"...the pipa, the zither, the ocarina, the hole Xiao and the yangqin...be dazzled, and I accidentally thought it was in the study There was a concert.Yang Menglong smiled silently, covered the quilt a little tighter, and said in his heart: "Princess Tianxian, you are a kind girl, good people will be rewarded."

Just thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, he was at a loss again.Houjin iron cavalry is killing all over the land of Hebei. Wherever it goes, villages and towns are burned, women and children are slaughtered, and towns become purgatory after the iron cavalry roars past. There are no people, only ghosts crying. Will this beautiful and kind girl come to this small village, can she escape this disaster?In other words, is he, a freshly baked dog leg, capable of protecting this pair of siblings who saved his life and took him in?
don't know don't know don't know...

The only thing he knows is that he doesn't know anything!
Thinking about it gave me a headache, so I might as well stop thinking about him and get a good night's sleep. He's been tormenting him a lot these past few days, so I need to regain my energy first.

While he was in a daze of sleep, the door creaked and was pushed open, and someone rushed in, climbed onto the bed, grabbed his arm and shook it violently!Yang Menglong sat up, opened his sleepy eyes and called, "Is the house on fire?"

It was Xiao Jun who shook him awake.This little kid was already crying in fright, and kept yelling: "It's gone, it's gone!"

Yang Menglong was shocked: "Your sister is missing?"

Xiaojun said: "It's more serious than my sister's disappearance!" Holding up the MP3 in his hand: "Le Xian...Le Xian is gone, Le Xian is gone!"

Yang Menglong almost rewarded him with a burst of chestnuts, which woke me up in the freezing cold, just because of this shit?Considering that this little brat was his boss, his parents, he really couldn’t afford to offend him, he gritted his teeth, endured it, took a look at the MP3, and within three seconds he understood the reason: the battery was out!Only the devil knows how many songs the siblings have listened to before the last bit of electricity was used up.He threw the MP3 on the bedside: "It's out of battery, it can't be used anymore."

Xiaojun's eyes widened: "Electricity? What is electricity?"

Yang Menglong's head started to hurt again: "Electricity is...it's...it's Lexian's magic power. She ran out of magic power, left this artifact, and returned to heaven."

Xiao Jun burst into tears: "Then we will never see her again, and we will never hear the tunes she plays and the songs she sings?"

Yang Menglong said: "That's not sure, when she recovers her mana, she will come back naturally."

When Xiao Jun heard that Le Xian would be back, he was greatly relieved, laughed through his tears, grabbed the MP3, jumped out of bed and ran to the study, telling his sister the good news.Yang Menglong's ears were quiet, and he collapsed back to the bed like a deflated ball, and muttered: "It seems that in the future, you can't fool people too hard, especially you can't fool children at night, otherwise you won't even be able to sleep... ..."
