Strange Tale of Qingluan

After sitting for a while, he waded down open-mindedly, not minding that the night deer on the grass blades was stained with his clothes on his back, with his hands resting on the back of his head, looking at the group of fireflies, looking at ease.Su Zhongming turned his head, saw him like this, and wanted to be so at ease, with a leaf of grass in his hand, stained with night deer, frowned slightly, and gave up.

"Do you know why they gather together to light up the bigu every night?" Ding Xuehou suddenly asked Su Zhongming after a long silence.The boy replied without hesitation, "I know, it's for breeding offspring! Their lifespan is only five days. If they can't get a wife tonight, they will come back tomorrow night until their lifespan is exhausted."

"Small insects are just like people. It's okay if you like it yourself. If a female insect doesn't like it, it won't make love to it. If there is one, it likes a female insect particularly, and that female insect I declined it again, and the two worms separated tonight, and it will be very difficult to find each other the next night."

"Really?" Su Zhongming wondered, feeling that it was strange for him to say these words.After Ding Xuehou finished speaking, he continued, still on the same topic, "If the one who rejected it first regretted it the next night, it would be very miserable."

Su Zhongming was speechless at first, and after a while, he refused to accept it and said: "Not necessarily, it can find another one. Anyway, there are all the same kind around, and there will always be one that can match the eyes."

"There are always exceptions." Ding Xuehou replied to him.This sentence made Su Zhongming very uncomfortable. He couldn't understand why the man always described the matter of the bug's intercourse so realistically and cruelly. In his heart, the friendship of small animals is comparable to the love between human beings. Much easier.

"If I am unfortunately shrouded in horse leather, I will turn into this firefly and come back to see you when it snows in winter. When you see a firefly on a snowy night, you will definitely think it is beautiful." Ding Xuehou said these thoughts in his heart calmly.However, from Su Zhongming's point of view, he felt that he was talking nonsense for no reason.

He immediately became dissatisfied and yelled at Ding Xuehou: "Hey! Do you think you are tired of living? You always say that if you die or something, you are cursing yourself, you know! Cursing yourself to die, Just like committing suicide, are you worthy of the parents who gave birth to you and raised you!"

Ding Xuehou was taken aback for a moment, he raised his upper half and sat up, and was about to explain, Su Zhongming had already stood up, turned around and left him.He hurriedly picked up Gu Deng, chased after him, and explained, "This battle is really difficult, and I'm afraid of missing it!"

Su Zhongming stopped, took off the reins, and ignored him.Ding Xuehou added, "The main reason is that you came here on your own, which made me unable to fight well." Su Zhongming snorted lightly, and turned around, "I'm here, you can fight better! I'm here, all of you Everyone's morale is high, and one person can kill ten wolves."

"You'd better hide your identity," Dingxuehou hurriedly reminded, "Whether it's from the people of Jialing Kingdom or the enemy army, you can't reveal your identity." He added, "The enemy army knows , will take you as a hostage. Similarly, after repelling the enemy, Jialing Kingdom may also take you as a hostage."

Su Zhongming got on the horse and replied: "I know, I will be careful." Waiting for Ding Xuehou to also get on the horse, the two of them galloped back to Like City.

In the afternoon after a night, the sound of horns and drums sounded together, which was the message that the enemy army was coming to attack the city.Hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly grabbed their weapons and gathered together. Some of them were ordered by the general to go to the tower to guard, and some of them waited for the order to rush out of the city to meet them.

There was a panic in the city, Su Zhongming rushed out of the house, seeing such a scene, he also rushed to the Chengguan with Yi Yeqing.Yi Yeqing ran behind him, shouting at him as he ran, "My lord! I don't care about the war!" Su Zhongming answered him, but his feet were still running forward, "When I came, I said it was for reinforcements. It’s really embarrassing to hide in the house!”

He ran to the city gate, stopped, looked up at the city tower, and saw that there was already thick gunpowder smoke floating there, random arrows came in from outside the city, and people fell down constantly, blood smearing the ground.

He was new to the battlefield and had no experience at all. He wanted to see what was going on outside the city, so he ran up the stone steps leading to the city tower. He took a step, but before he reached the step, suddenly a hand stretched across his face. A sharp sword stopped him.Unable to move forward, he glanced at the owner of the hand, turned serious, and shouted at the man, "Let me pass!"

Ding Xuehou didn't accept his order, looked at him, his eyes were very gentle, and he spoke slowly, "Go back quickly, I don't need you to take care of me here." Su Zhongming said urgently: "I am also a support general!" Ding Xuehou was not in a hurry Not Xu, still slowly replied, "I don't need the help of an unqualified general here, hurry back."

"You!" Su Zhongming pointed at him with his index finger, but thinking that he couldn't talk to him, he had no choice but to be good, and begged him: "Well, at least let me do something that can help you." Ding Xuehou hung down Wo Holding the right hand of the long sword, he only replied, "Go to the meeting room and chat with General Qianqin, the marshal of Jialing Kingdom."

Su Zhongming pursed his lips, and walked back with Yi Yeqing, cursing the man in a low voice as he walked.On the way, he saw many wounded soldiers being carried to a corner, and the Wen country military doctor and his apprentices were busy treating the wounded soldiers of Wen country. He had an idea and thought it was a good help, so he immediately accelerated his pace. go up.

"Doctor, do you need manpower here?" He asked the military doctor kindly.The military doctor raised his head and saw a young man with the appearance of a general in armor and a sword at his waist. He nodded repeatedly and replied, "It's exactly what is needed! There are so many wounded soldiers, and the old man and his disciples alone can't handle it. "

Su Zhongming turned around and told Yi Yeqing, "Ah Qing, we are here to help treat wounded soldiers." The military doctor heard this and asked, "Can the general heal and see wounds?" Su Zhongming replied, "Sword wounds, yes. As for the wounds... well, hehe." The military doctor said, "The general will treat the knife wounds, and the arrow wounds will be treated by the old man and the apprentice."

Su Zhongming nodded, picked up the gauze and gold sore medicine, and saw that there was a knife wound, so he went to apply the medicine and bandage.Those people stretched out in pain, and one of them suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist. He froze for a moment, looked over, and only heard the person plead in a weak voice: "General! My back is seriously injured, can you ...Can you heal my wounds first?"

Su Zhongming looked at the blood-stained large piece of clothes stuck to the man's back, and hurriedly cut it open with a knife, and took a look at the wound, the blood was still overflowing.He hurriedly called the military doctor, "Doctor!" The military doctor came after hearing the sound, and he said to the military doctor, "This brother is seriously injured, and he must be treated first."

The military doctor took a look at the wound and murmured, "I'm afraid even the bones are hurt." Then he called his apprentice to help.Su Zhongming went to another wounded soldier and bandaged that man with medicine. He came and went, and he didn't know what time it was. When he saw that the number of wounded soldiers had stopped increasing, he knew that the enemy had retreated.

"Thank you, General, for your help today!" Picking up a wounded soldier and handing it over to an uninjured soldier to help him back, the military doctor turned around and thanked Su Zhongming.He raised his hand to check the sweat on his forehead, showing a tired face. Seeing this, the military doctor was very clear and said, "The general should go back and rest. Today is really thanks to the general."

Hearing his gratitude again and again, Su Zhongming smiled, and returned to the dormitory with Yi Yeqing.He had just walked to the door of the house and was about to slam the door in. Remembering Ding Xuehou who risked his life at the city gate to command the battle during the war, he was very concerned about the man's current situation, and then turned around and went to his bedroom.

The door of that room was open, Su Zhongming stepped in unceremoniously, and after a while he found a person lying on the couch with the curtains hanging down messily. Outside, bent, still wearing a pair of boots.

Su Zhongming stepped up generously and kicked Ding Xuehou's foot, but there was no reaction for a while, and he kicked it a second time, still the same, the man seemed to be dead, motionless.Su Zhongming sat next to him again, raised his left hand and patted his back, another piece of flesh fell out, at this moment, he finally heard a response.

"Who! If you don't want to die, let me have a look again!" Dingxuehou said sternly, but he was too lazy to pull up the tent to see people.Su Zhongming, who was outside the tent, patted his back vigorously according to his request. This time, the man straightened up, lifted the tent with his right hand, and Wo Chengquan with his left hand was about to swing his fist at Su Zhongming, but he saw that it was him. , can't help but be stunned.

Su Zhong knew that he was going to hit someone, so he wanted to fight back. The moment he was stunned, he hit his handsome neck with all his strength.The man's body was beaten crookedly, he slowly turned to the right side, covered the vine, and opened his mouth to cry out, "I've stopped, why do you still want to hit me!?" Su Zhongming replied with an apologetic expression, "I thought you were serious. If you want to hit it down, be quick."

"You are really different from others." Ding Xuehou made a conclusion.Su Zhongming didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, so he blurted out, "I'm different from others?" Ding Xuehou covered the vine and explained slowly, "When others were being beaten, they shot to stop the whole head, but you shot together fight back."

Su Zhongming was proud of himself, "This is called quickness to win! When someone wants to hit me, if I move faster than him, he will have no chance to hit me. This is the same as swordsmanship. Only by moving faster than others can you hit him with one blow. "

Dingxuehou was amazed immediately, and asked him: "Have you ever learned swordsmanship?" Su Zhongming said calmly, "Although it is considered swordsmanship, it is different from what you learn. The kind I learn is mainly about fitness and sports, while yours But it is used for fighting and killing benevolence." Dingxuehou was puzzled, "Swordsmanship is just swordsmanship, what else can it be classified into?"

Su Zhongming blurted out, "You don't understand! I learned swordsmanship with bamboo and wooden swords, and I have never held a real sword." Ding Xuehou made another conclusion, "Your master must be narrow-minded, even spending money to make a sword. I wouldn't even give the sword to my apprentice." Su Zhongming immediately glared at him with resentment, thinking in his heart: What petty eyes!What master!He is my dad!

Dingxuehou didn't know what he was thinking, and continued, "I only used bamboo swords and wooden swords, it's not a good thing, if you are not used to real swords, when you are in danger, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, you will be defeated." , you, since you can wear a real sword now, you should use it more to practice."

Su Zhongming naturally understood what he meant. The bamboo and wooden swords are lighter, but the real sword is heavier. He carries the sword that Yi Yeqing temporarily lent him every day, just like carrying two or three red bricks. Not used to it at all, he thought of the Qingluan sword, and felt that the sword was a little lighter, but it was a pity...but it could only be worn as an ornament on his body.

In this ancient time and space, unlike modern times, there are dangers everywhere, there is no equal law and green, only the king's law, anyone can hang a sharp sword in the demon world and swagger through the streets.

If martial arts masters kill people, no matter whether they are seen or not, they will not be caught, sentenced and executed. Unarmed ordinary people, if innocent people are killed by others, can only be regarded as unlucky, and can only become complaining ghosts. , The man who looked at him under the ground is still living a life of words.
