Chapter 686 Wu Gorge Gift Sword

Wu Gorge is beautiful and deep. On both sides of the river, there are strange peaks and mountains. In the second year of Kangxi's accession to the throne, there was a small boat going up the river from Wu Gorge.

Except for the boatman, there were only father and daughter in the boat. One shoulder was very cold, and the other was very heavy, as if it was filled with iron.

The old man was only half a hundred years old, and his beard and hair were all white. Looking up at people, his eyes were shining everywhere, and his face was full of wrinkles. At a glance, he was an old man who had suffered a lot.

The woman was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was very beautiful. She leaned beside the old man, pointing at Yan Lan in a low voice, asking questions, showing innocence and admiration.

Then when the boat passed a relatively narrow waterway, a voice came from the shore not far away: "Boater, come to the shore, please give us a lift, and we will be rewarded!"

The boatman propped up the waterway with a penny and stopped the boat. He saw a pair of young men and women on the bank who looked like gods. Holding a sword, he didn't even shave his hair. Thinking of ancient legends, he suspected that the pair of young men and women were transformed by spirits, so he tentatively asked:

"Who are you and how did you end up here?"

The young girl on the boat was so warm-hearted, she couldn't see anyone in trouble, and said anxiously: "The two of them are trapped here, you can talk about it after you pick them up on the boat, what else do you want to ask!"

Before the boatman could answer, the girl's father said, "It's no wonder he asked. The banks here are very narrow, and there are cliffs and monkeys on the way up. These two people appeared suddenly again. I don't know who would dare to pick them up." Get on board!"

Their voices were not low, and the young men and women not far away could hear them clearly, only to hear the young man wryly smile and say:

"We were out for an outing, and I blamed my sister for being playful. I climbed down the gentle slope over there to pick wild flowers by the water. I followed her in order to take care of her. Who would have thought that the gentle slope would be easy to come down, but difficult to climb up?" , trapped the two of us at the bottom of the cliff, trying to find a place to go up along the water but getting steeper and steeper, I'm sorry for your kindness to send us to the crow's mouth not far ahead, and the boat fee will be doubled!"

The girl on the boat asked: "I remember that there was indeed a gentle slope before, and the wild flowers were brilliant under the slope. I took a second look, Dad, I'm afraid they came down from there!"

The old man nodded, and saw that neither of them looked like they had practiced martial arts, so he believed the words, but just to be on the safe side, he asked again: "Listen to my brother's accent, aren't you from the Hubei and Sichuan generation?"

The young man said humanely: "We are originally from the north. Because the Tartars entered the customs, our ancestors didn't want to be slaves to the subjugated country, so we moved here with our family!"

The old man yelled 'OK' after hearing this,

His own accent has a Beijing flavor, and he presumably is also from the North.

Sure enough, the girl on the boat laughed and said: "My father didn't want to be angry with that tartar, so he brought me from the capital to Sichuan and Shu to avoid disaster!"

The old man shook his head, and urged the boatman to dock to pick up the boy and girl on board!

After getting on the boat, the young man seemed to be afraid that the boat owner would not feel at ease, so he took ten taels of silver and handed it over. The boatman repeatedly said 'too much' and refused to accept it, but the young man insisted on giving it.

When the old man saw him, he said, "Look, this little brother is not short of money, so just keep it!"

Someone called for help, and the boatman gave in a few times before accepting it.

The boatman greeted "Be careful" and supported the penny. The boat went down the river and continued to move forward.

The girl on the boat was lively, and she took the hand of the girl who had just boarded the boat and introduced herself: "Sister, my name is Li Yingqiong, what's your name?"

The girl smiled subtly: "It turns out that my sister is from my family, my brother is Li Zhiyuan, and my name is Li Min'er. I have to thank my sister just now!"

Li Yingqiong raised her eyebrows, at such a young age, she was full of heroic spirit: "I am a chivalrous man, and it is difficult for me to save others. My sister does not need to thank you!"

Li Min'er praised: "Sister is so majestic, she turns out to be a martial arts practitioner, admiration!"

Li Yingqiong heard her sister praise her, and was about to say something happily, but her father scolded her: "You haven't learned martial arts seriously, so don't brag about yourself as an outsider!"

"Daddy!" Li Yingqiong showed her coquettish side to her daddy, stomping her feet and shaking her daddy's arm, as if expressing her disapproval for him to expose her in front of her new friends.

Just now when the two girls were talking, Li Zhiyuan couldn't interrupt, so he clasped his hands together and said, "Li Zhiyuan has met Mr.!"

The old man smiled and said, "Zhiyuan...has great ambitions and a good name. My name is Li Ning. I'm a martial artist, but I can't be called a gentleman!"

"Sir, you're joking! I've also heard that there is a man in Jianghu who is known as the 'Great Armed Ape\' and is a famous knight, but old man?" Li Zhiyuan opened his mouth and asked with a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing someone praise her father, Li Yingqiong immediately smiled and said: "Brother Li, you are asking the right person, it is my father!"

As soon as they got in touch, the two started chatting immediately. Li Ning was a wanderer, and he said three points and seven points, but Li Yingqiong was straightforward, and told all about the situation of himself and his father in a few words, which made Li Ning smile bitterly to himself.

Later, everyone talked about the Tartars entering the customs and the massacres of the people. When they talked about the three days in Yangzhou and the three massacres in Jiading, everyone was angry and cursed, and even the boatman spit a few times.

At this time, when the twilight smoke was everywhere and the eyes were dark, a bright moon hung from the corner of the mountain, shining brightly and shining brightly.

Li Ning suddenly said in a loud voice: "That's the way to look back at the moon in the homeland! With such a great country, when can I return to my family's old things!" His words were sad, and tears filled his cheeks.

Li Yingqiong said: "Daddy is sad again, everything in the world has its own destiny, and it is useless to be sad. Please take care of your health, Daddy."

Just as he was talking, the boatman came over and said: "Guests, it's getting late, and there is the famous Crow's Mouth in front, and there are villages and towns there. Let's go ashore to rest and go ashore to buy some wine and food."

The old man said: "Okay, you just go ahead. I'm a little sleepy today, so I won't go ashore." When the boatman finished speaking, he had already arrived at his destination, and they went ashore separately.

Li Zhiyuan's brother and sister also bid farewell to Li Yingqiong's father and daughter immediately, Li Ning nodded and said: "The world is in chaos, you brothers and sisters should also take care of yourself."

After Li Zhiyuan thanked him, he suddenly untied the sword around his waist: "This Longquan sword is an ancestral item. I was originally a scholar, so I kept it useless and buried my treasure. It is fate to meet you today. This sword Give it to little sister Yingqiong!"

As he spoke, he handed the saber to Li Yingqiong casually.

Li Ning just wanted to say no, but saw that Li Yingqiong heard that it was the Longquan sword, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and took it, the thumb pressed the spring, the silver light flashed, and the Longquan sword was out of its sheath, the sword body was like autumn water The cold air is bitter, and it is obviously made of high-quality cold iron, which must be of great value for cutting iron like mud.

Li Yingqiong couldn't put it down, and Li Ning also shouted: "Good sword!"

The old man had a second thought, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help asking: "Little Brother Li doesn't know how old he is, but has he ever been married?"

Li Zhiyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't know why he asked this, and immediately said: "No!"

Li Ning said: "Then what do you think of my Yingqiong?"

"..." Li Zhiyuan was stunned immediately, and immediately guessed what the old man meant, but Li Yingqiong looked only twelve or thirteen years old, how could he have thought about this.

Li Yingqiong is also dedicated to practicing martial arts, and she has never thought about the relationship between her children. Although Li Zhiyuan is handsome, she can't help but look at it a few times, but she was never tempted, and immediately shook Li Ning's arm in disbelief: "Daddy!"

Li Zhiyuan also took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Old man, my sister and I came out late, and we are afraid that we will be in a hurry at home, so we are leaving now. If there is a destiny, see you in the future!"

As he said that, he bowed his hands to the two of them, Li Min'er took Li Yingqiong's hand and said goodbye, and the brother and sister left in a hurry.

Li Ning shook his head and said: "I wanted to recruit a seed for reading, so that I could send me home in the future, but you girl just don't understand."

Li Min'er, who was far away from the river, suddenly smiled coquettishly: "My lord, that girl from the Li family is as beautiful as a flower, what are you doing with such a good match? It's a pity that the sword! It's just a token of love."

The muscles on Li Zhiyuan's face changed, showing the original face, which was Xin Han. He reached out and wiped Li Min'er's face to remove a delicate human skin mask, revealing Li Shishi who was smiling sweetly inside.

Xin Han glared at her, and said angrily: "I gave her the Longquan sword first, and then I went to grab her chance, so that I can be justified. As for the marriage, I have never thought about it, so Li Yingqiong can still be more beautiful than you." , don't talk nonsense next time!"

Li Shishi couldn't help blushing when he heard him praise his appearance, and bowed his head in agreement. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
