[Hua Yang] Water and Moon

Chapter 15

"Hahaha, don't believe a single word Shang Shuiyun says." An immature and crisp female voice sounded, and the door was kicked open at this moment, and the figure flew to snatch Shang Shuiyun's crown and jumped to the door. low wall.

I saw a little girl in her early ten years sitting there, her eyes were wide open and her slender arms were exposed from the fur collar of her wrapped cloak. In the winter, she wore little and thin underwear, and she just stepped on the snow with her bare feet. The crown in his hand was thrown up and down and caught again.

"Who is she?" Hua Wujian sized her up from head to toe, with Shang Shuiyun still on the pen in his hand.

"She...she she...is...is..." Shang Shuiyun's face turned pale when he saw the girl, and he was stuttering and unable to speak at this moment.

The girl gave a "puchi" smile, then jumped off the fence, and stood in front of Hua Wujian: "My name is Qu Linglong, and I am a new disciple of the Five Poisons who came to Yangzhou—the current leader of the Xiaoyun Gang. I'm here..." She said Then, the hair crown in his hand threw an arc and landed on Shang Shuiyun's head again, "Of course, the Daoist asked for the debt, the Taoist took this clothes on credit, and cheated me of two good swords, dragged In the past few months, only interest has been paid, and I think he doesn't want to pay it back."

Shang Shuiyun's face became even paler: "Ah, Mr. Qu, don't be like this! I usually help Li Yue deliver goods, and I get paid for fighting. Everyone praises me for my straight talk. The girl next door always shows favor, so how can I not return it?" reason."

Seeing that Shang Shuiyun was so scared and recruited so easily, Hua Wujian realized that the disciples of the Five Poisons were definitely not the generation of little girls. He turned his head and saw two men standing at the door, one in beautiful clothes and the same song. Exquisitely similar, with a harmless smile, the other is wearing tight dark blue clothes and a mask. The two seem to be from the Five Poisons and the Tang Sect.

"You, I don't count on you anymore. With your squandered wine money, even if your fortune-telling stall improves a bit, it's not enough to fill in the holes. I never thought about going back, but today I found something more interesting " Qu Linglong walked around Hua Wujian a few times, twirling the insect flute in her hand, pointing at Shang Shuiyun and smiling at Hua Wujian, "Don't say he has no money, even if he works hard, he is not qualified to pay. Do you have any objections to throwing him to feed Gu like this?"

Hua Wujian met her gaze, feeling a little oppressed, withdrew his pen and frowned and said coldly: "How much?"

"Oh, don't worry, I don't lack money, but I can't get off the stage just by giving him such credit. Otherwise—" Qu Linglong stopped him from taking the money bag, and smiled slightly, "It's hard for me to see When you come to Wanhua in the flower repair shop, you don’t know who to give to if you meet a suitable treasure, and I see that you have fought against the cargo ship watchman, and you are very good at it, do you want to come to our place?"

"Are you following me?" Hua Wujian remained unmoved, and continued to reach into his clothes: "Tell me, how much is it?"

"Tsk tsk." Qu Linglong curled her lips angrily, "It's been known for a long time that you studied medicine in Yangzhou City, don't you want to go out and have a look and read the world's martial arts and medical books? Maybe this walk will happen by chance. Can I know what you want to know?" After speaking, she blinked her eyes and looked at him, then pursed her lips and smiled contentedly.

"So, do you know Li Yue and the others? Do you know where all the goods from Yangzhou have gone?" Hua Wujian finally let go of his hand, and his expression eased a lot, especially the gorgeous world that Qu Linglong said made him feel as if it had been rushing for many years The anticipation when looking up at the Lingyun Ladder.

"I don't know, Li Yue's goods will not belong to him when they leave the city, but you will know in the future. You people from the Central Plains said it well, you can cover the sky with your hands and turn your hands into clouds and rain. The rivers and lakes are vast. You If you can become a master of a generation, what else do you not know? At that time, it will be easy for you to study medicine or touch acupuncture points." Qu Linglong nodded, suddenly with a serious face, and leaned closer to him again, and saw that his expression seemed to be scrutinizing A piece of jade that can be cut, sincerely said:

"Our Xiaoyun Gang is a well-known and decent sect. We specialize in accepting official documents from the imperial list to serve Datang. There are many secret orders. We will go to the north and south, and we will meet everyone. If you want to know anything, you can go and talk about it yourself in the future. Ask everyone to help, how about it?" Saying that, Qu Linglong took the seal from her body and showed it to him.

"Impossible! You're a problem at the stall!" Shang Shuiyun stepped forward, as if picking up the confidence that was lost just now.

Hua Wujian saw that Qu Linglong's expression and tone were extremely inconsistent with her figure, thought for a moment, and nodded happily: "Let's try it, just allow me a few things."

After he finished speaking, the five-poisonous man standing at the door laughed out loud: "You are so courageous, you dare to raise conditions with the head of the family."

"Deal." Qu Linglong grinned and agreed without asking.

"Are you crazy?! Isn't it just clothes, weapons and houses? I, I don't want it!" Shang Shuiyun's courage came from nowhere, and he stared at Qu Linglong again, and raised his hand to untie his outer clothes.

"Brother Shuiyun's words are wrong. Since you are caught between me and Li Yue, you don't have to force you. What's more, I am in Yangzhou and you take care of each other. I can't break it apart. It's so boring." Hua Wujian said, once again Pointing out the wolf hair, this time aiming at his forehead, forcing him to stop, "Just pretend nothing happened, and don't cut off the chance to meet and drink in the future."

Looking at Hua Wujian's faint smile, Shang Shuiyun was dumbfounded.

"Ah! We have a new brother!" Qu Linglong finally smiled like a little girl, and tugged at Hua Wujian's sleeves, "Let's go, let's take you to our place."

Hua Wujian straightened her clothes, walked briskly, and stepped out of the Shangzhai gate without hesitation.

Shang Shuiyun watched helplessly, and did not move until he was completely gone. Looking around, the Shu Wei chess piece that killed him in the distance was still placed on the stone table, and the crown was along his shoulders. Sliding all the way down and falling to the ground.

When Hua Wujian left Yangzhou, the first snow had only half melted.

In the freezing weather, he sat on the wall of Li Ruo's backyard in the dark, holding the hand stove and resting his chin, watching the three of them gather around a table to eat the winter solstice dinner.

Li Ruo introduced the winter solstice customs in the south to Qin Yuezhi, while pouring wine for himself, his face flushed from drinking, the warm mist rising from talking and laughing intertwined with the heat in the pot, the scene was very happy.

Li Ruo chattered endlessly, Yanyan also chattered, Qin Yuezhi occasionally moved in a daze while clutching the wine glass, even if she was sitting, she never forgot to look around, but she never found Hua Wu Jian who was integrated with the night, she drank the wine in the glass with her face up, feeling a little lonely Hua Wujian's profile makes Hua Wujian feel melancholy for no reason.

He was here to say goodbye, but he got some information out of the staff member's mouth and confirmed it step by step. He knew that staying in Yangzhou was not only useless, but also easily brought disaster to Chi Yu. Qu Linglong expressed his appreciation in a timely manner, and he also Going down the steps, if it wasn't for Li Ruo threatening that the younger brother would be punished to death if he dared to come back to see her, Hua Wujian really went down to say hello.

I don't know how long it took, the cups and plates were messed up, Li Ruo gradually got drunk, and finally sang a song, Yanyan finally dragged her away, leaving Qin Yuezhi laying on the table motionless.

There was no one around, Hua Wujian finally approached him, trying to bring the drunken Chunyang back to the house, but unexpectedly touched his shoulder, Qin Yuezhi woke up suddenly, glared at him, and called out his name.

Hua Wujian was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to deal with it, but he saw Qin Yuezhi's eyes passing through him and looking behind him, the smell of alcohol was on his face, and the next moment he closed his eyes and passed out again.

A glass of wine——Hua Wujian embraced Qin Yuezhi, frowned and made this judgment, but in desperation had no choice but to stand up with his arms and move towards the room where the lights were still on.

Qin Yuezhi hummed in a daze with flushed cheeks, muttered in a low voice, and occasionally slipped and fell with Hua Wujian in the snow, Hua Wujian got up to catch him, slipped off again in a while When they entered the door, Qin Yuezhi was already being hugged by the whole person, while Hua Wujian was panting and glaring with squinting eyes, but the person who was stared at didn't feel it, curled up and slept soundly.

Hua Wujian sighed, looking up to find a place to throw him down, but he saw that the daily utensils for two people were neatly prepared, the bed was also half-made as before he "leaved", the floor tiles were spotless, even the celadon tea bowl was dirty. Polished to a shine.

"Hua Wujian... I will show you the snow in Chunyang... I must have never seen it..." Qin Yuezhi hummed for no reason, and then fell silent again.

Hua Wujian's slightly impatient face finally relaxed, his eyes were as deep as water, and they all fell on Qin Yuezhi's peaceful sleeping face, his heart was peaceful for no reason, a smile climbed up the corner of his eyes, he lowered his head in a mysterious way, in the pure sunshine and clean A kiss was imprinted on the forehead, and he froze immediately, surprised at his actions, and did not dare to move for a long time.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a cold and stern gaze from behind, and Hua Wujian turned around in shock. There is really nothing else but the old tree covered with icicles.

The crisp whistle broke the silence, knowing it was Xiaoyun's secret signal, Hua Wujian frowned, and hastily put Qin Yuezhi on the bed, but the latter grabbed his lapel tightly, when the whistle sounded again, Hua Wujian leaned over He half coaxed and half persuaded a few words in his ear, Qin Yuezhi just let go, rolled up the quilt and turned over to make half of the bed vacant.

Hua Wujian let out a long sigh of relief. Before he left, he did not forget to search the yard carefully. After finding nothing, he unwillingly came out from the road and climbed over the wall to meet the people who came. He was extremely suspicious that it was just an illusion, but it was a bit piercing. It always lingers, making him a little apprehensive every time he thinks about it.

As a result of urgent orders, Qu Linglong took Xiaoyun out of the city overnight on the winter solstice night, and this trip lasted half a year.

When the construction of Qutang Gorge was over, there was a drizzle, the sound of insect flute ended, and the ground was full of dead bodies, but the peach blossoms on the other bank were incomparably gorgeous.

Hua Wujian was dressed in bright red and black clothes and stared at the ground, her jade-like face faded away.
