Smile and swing sword

Chi Shen's heart warmed for a moment, thinking that if he had such a brother in this world, he would not be alone, and would not dare to make a sound when he was bullied. Suddenly, he felt a wetness in his eyes, and blinked closer: "Brother , don’t you have the colored lights that catch your eye?”

Xiang Tianyou saw the man striding over, his upper body leaned forward slightly, secretly pulled him around with his hands, hugged him into his arms, and wiped off the sweat from his forehead: "I'm not you, why do I still care about these things?"

Chi Shen was dissatisfied, and argued: "The one who is about the same age as you is more impatient than me. He went to the temple early to take up a vacant seat, and waited until he saw the big lantern coming out by Fengshen."

"You think they're looking at lanterns? That's a big mistake. Students, literati, and ladies are just looking at fame and fortune and jokes. An Ansheng, who lived a small life, is just like you wandering around these stalls." .”

Chi Shen raised his eyes and looked around, sure enough, the young and elegantly dressed people were all pushing forward on tiptoes, and the business patrons were all honest and friendly faces, and Xiang Tianyou became more and more conspicuous among them.

"Brother still thinks far ahead," Chi Shen didn't care about it, and spared no effort to praise, "I have a trouble now. When I came here, I promised Brother Heidan to bring him a golden monkey lantern. Looking at it now, the golden monkey is no better than the lotus rabbit. The lamp is small and delicate, but it is not as strong as bamboo lanterns, and we have to go to the capital, so we really can’t take it with us, what can we do?"

Xiang Tianyou laughed, took his wrist and said cheerfully: "What am I supposed to be? When I get to the capital, even if a lady's maid dropped a veil, it would be better than this red horse kung fu made by an embroiderer." If you dress more delicately, I'm afraid you won't be able to find something unusual, how about coaxing your elder brother who always raises his eyebrows when he sees me?"

Chi Shenyuan blushed, but couldn't think of anything to argue with, and said flatly: "My few copper coins, the silk thread on the poor girl's handkerchief can't afford it."

"Okay, knowing that I won't ask you to pay, you still use such words to block me?" Xiang Tianyou pinched his white, tender and thick red earlobes, bent slightly and smiled, "You are my precious brother, I don't want to pay you." No matter how much money you have, it’s not because you’re afraid that black boy will be sad, just to make you happy.”

Chi Shen tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and strode forward.

When we arrived at Qingfeng Temple, the poetry meeting had already started, and there were only a dozen or so people standing on the stage, some of them had faces like crowns and jades, or they were dressed in square scarves and black clothes, and they were Xiao Susu. The only one on the left was eight feet long He is a strong man with a coarse cloth jacket on his upper body, and his waist is tied up with a linen towel, revealing his strong chest and thick arms. His nose is straight and his mouth is square, and he looks masculine.

Poetry lamps rose one by one, with a line of small characters written on them, as a start sentence, with a simple meaning, nothing more than some mountains, rivers and moonlights that fit the scene, and the rest of the people were also full of words, and only the man opened his mouth. The soaring arrogance attracts attention.

When there were only four of them left, the rules changed to writing poems together and taking turns answering until there was no answer.I saw the words written on the wallpaper of Shideng: idle flowers fall for no reason.

The next person blurted out without thinking, "Light up the lamp and read the book."

The man on his left gently shook the folding fan, and slowly said: "The pen is going to the Hall of Eternal Life."The last person followed: "The champion wins."

The strong man frowned in thought, then smiled and said, "But it's Zhimaguan."

After this sentence, and back to the original person, the scholar was obviously taken aback, very puzzled, since he was nominated for the first prize, why he only became a sesame mung bean official, and he stumbled back with a sullen face: "I still report the emperor's love."

The next person breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to continue: "The court is making trouble."

"Famous name forever." After the third person finished this sentence, he smiled triumphantly, squinted at the strong man, and guessed that the poem could not be answered.

Sure enough, the strong man froze for a moment, shook his head and smiled wryly, bowed his hands to the three of them, and was about to end.

Suddenly, I heard a high-pitched voice from below the stage over the noisy human voice: "The flowers fall for no reason, and the breeze will send you a journey. The sea of ​​clouds is ninety thousand miles away, and we will travel with Kunpeng."

The strong man stepped forward with two big strides, sweeping towards the crowded crowd below, but seeing the majestic young man carefully guarding a round-faced boy with red lips and white teeth, his eyes lit up immediately, and he jumped up and laughed loudly: "Fish and birds still have a limit, and Taoism is endless. You can swim in the universe, and you will still have a heart when you return!"

After finishing speaking, he jumped down from the stage, watched the crowd watching his momentum, and gave way one after another. The host of the Lantern Poetry Association showed a dazed look, and suddenly came back to his senses. He caught up with two steps and shouted: "This poet friend, dare to ask you what is it?" Abstained and conceded defeat?"

The strong man didn't look back, he waved his hand casually and said: "Abandon it, abandon it, this Qingfeng Lantern will only float to the ninth heaven, I'm afraid it won't be able to carry Grandpa's name!"

The host's face darkened, the boss was unhappy, but he didn't dare to say more, he snorted softly, and turned back to the stage.

The strong man came in front of Xiang Tianyou and said carelessly: "Brother, you are so unkind, you only watch the opera under the stage, but let me sing with those white-faced youngsters for a long time."

Xiang Tianyou's words were not easy to answer, Chi Shen was not polite to him because of his small size, and retorted: "Brother can see clearly so that he can stay out of the matter. You look down on them and get caught by the chaser. It deserves to be seen as a joke!"

"Hey, you boy with a round face who is still full of milk, I didn't see such sharp teeth." The strong man knew that he was protecting the man around him, so he was not really annoyed. He raised his hand to touch the top of his head, but was caught by a The knuckles of the palm stopped him.

The brawny man turned his mind, a gust of Qi flowed out from his dantian, rushed up his right arm, pressed down slightly, Xiang Tianyou felt the back of his hand sink, he took advantage of the situation to block it, and made a quick move, which to outsiders was just a move For the two of them, six or seven points of the truth about the two sides have been found out.

"Interesting, interesting!" After saying that, he slapped his chest, "Wu Yun, you can call me Brother Wu, how do you call me brother?"

He reported his name to Tianyou, and then introduced Chi Shen to him. Chi Shen just listened to the poems that the two of them just wrote, and he knew that this person was definitely not an idle person. At that time, He Shouqing approached him, but he did not see Xiang Tianyou. general attention.

Thinking of Chi Shen, he sighed deeply. If the task level was not so difficult, then he would not have to be so dazed. If he could distinguish the strong relationship between the person he met and Xiang Tianyou, then he would be able to do things like a fish in water.

"Brother Xiang, you should have seen enough of the excitement, why not go to Binzhi Building and drink his two big jars of wine to your heart's content!"

Chi Shen was displeased in his heart, and it was hard to refuse, but his brows were wrinkled after all. Xiang Tianyou thought about it, and sighed: "Drinking is a pleasure, but I bring my younger brother, and he can't drink a drop." , Sitting on a cold bench and watching, it's really too boring, next time, next time, let's make an appointment."

Wu Yun took a deep look at Chi Shen, who had turned from worry to joy, scratched his head and sighed: "It's hard to meet a brother who hits it off, but I never expected that he also followed a younger brother who is expensive and hard to serve! Forget it, grandpa will drink two altars alone. , but the purse is empty, and I have to ask someone to borrow one or two taels of silver!"

Xiang Tianyou listened, but smiled and said nothing, Chi Shen raised his head and looked around, knowing that Wu Yun was deliberately embarrassing himself, so he reached into his arms, took out the broken silver that was kept next to him, held it up, and said angrily : "Take it to drink, don't get drunk and sit on the ground and piss on the horse!"

Wu Yun grinningly stretched out his hand and flicked it, Chi Shen only felt a flower in front of his eyes, his fingertips were hot and cold, and he didn't feel touched by anyone, so his hand was empty, and he lost the trace of the silver, his heart was horrified, he felt the person in front of him Kung fu is unfathomable.

"Well, you kid, dare to say such nonsense to grandpa, if you don't see that you are willing to pay for money, you are still a generous person, today if you don't talk about it, you will be spanked three times, haha!" Wu Yun smiled and retreated, At first he was still five steps away, but in a blink of an eye he slipped into the crowd and disappeared in an instant.

Chi Shen sent people away, but he was not happy, his heart was heavy and dull, and he was unspeakably unhappy, so he followed Xiang Tian and wandered away from Qingfeng Temple, and walked to the Chima River that passed through the city.

On this river in Chima County, there is a poetry festival on one side and a place of fireworks on the other. It was also crowded with people this night, so this river took the word "quiet" from the two troubles.

There were water lamps floating down the upper reaches of the river. Although they were intermittent, they were still beautiful, and the river surface did not appear to be dark at all.

Xiang Tianyou pulled Chi Shen to sit down on the low embankment built on both sides of the river, and saw that he was not in a good mood, but he didn't ask. Instead, Chi Shen sat silently for a while, feeling that the atmosphere was weird, and couldn't help but say: " Brother should go drink with Brother Ang."

"I prefer to sit here and not talk."

Chi Shen quickly raised his eyes and lowered his head, and said shyly, "Brother blamed me for being short-tempered."

"I declined Wu Yun's invitation, firstly because I took care of your thoughts, secondly because I really don't want to go with him, but you yourself want to find a dead end, walk in a muffled voice, and ignore people at all."

"I'm sad, but it's not just because of what happened today." Chi Shen thought that when the two were in the border village far away from the Emperor Tiangao, no one would disturb them. They have been here for six years, and he has long been used to that kind of time. It wasn't until these two days that he gradually realized that Xiang Tianyou is not only an outstanding man, but also a protagonist in the world. It is absolutely impossible for him to live in peace and stability like before.

Now Chi Shen has a lot of complicated thoughts about Xiang Tianyou. If he came here, he would be a masculine man, so he would try to get close to Xiang Tianyou, and be a best friend. But in the past six years, many friendships have been born, just like ordinary family brothers. No two, even received a lot of care and care from Xiang Tianyou, and communicated more than Li Jinhua Wang Tiezhu.

Thinking of making friends with Xiang Tianyou, and even getting to know the people who he said will bear children for him in the future, and forming a family of flesh and blood for them, then he, a country brother with no blood relationship, can only stand back. I always feel uncomfortable, and I can't solve my worries and distractions.

"Brother, tell me the truth, Miss He, what do you think of her?"

How shrewd is Xiang Tianyou, how can he fail to see his intentions: "We've only met a few times, and we haven't spoken thirty or fifty words. From the perspective of appearance and personality, she is considered good. No matter how much, I can't tell either."

"Alright, I won't go around in circles. She clearly has sexual intentions for you. Does that brother like it or not?"

"What do you like or not?" Xiang Tianyou frowned, "Is this what you should be thinking about now? You are a kid."

"Okay, brother doesn't like Miss He, there are hundreds of flowers, there is always one you prefer." Chi Shen doesn't care about these things, he is a healthy man in his early twenties in this world, and he is not really a brat. So what's the matter with these things, find out Xiang Tianyou's preferences early, and make preparations for future encounters.
