1. Memorial to the deceased(1/3)
There is a small inn at the foot of Hanshan, ten miles outside Suzhou City.
This is a resting place set up by the imperial court, and it is found all over the country. However, because of the prosperity and peace in the south of the Yangtze River, this inn is also built quite grandly.
Just like a small inn.
If travelers are unwilling to stay in the "state-owned enterprise" station, there are several inns to choose from not far away.
There is also an inn, which holds the flag and sign of "Heluo Inn". There is Lei Ye's Heluo Gang's industry.
Those businessmen are really good at doing business.
It was morning, and it was not the hottest time of the day. There were people coming and going on the post road outside the city, and there was also a team from the Yi Family Escort Agency.
There are quite a lot of people, and it seems that they are going to send rafts far away.
In front of the post station, Chen Qiu and Qingqing tied the horses to the edge of the drinking trough, greeted the post station staff, added some grass and water to the horses, and prepared some dry food and drinking water.
They are saying goodbye.
The iron-clad boy also stood here. He was wearing a black suit that was convenient for movement, a wide coat and a robe. His eight-foot-tall figure made the pedestrians look at each other frequently.
Behind the young man was a carriage with some traveling objects in it.
He will set off for Luoyang today, where he will meet with Xiaoxiang disciples and go to the land of Qilu together.
Lin Huiyin went to find a doctor for her master, and broke iron to find a relative.
"You have to be careful along the way."
Chen Qiu reminded:
"You followed us to Xiaoxiang, but you still lack experience. If you don't know anything, please ask the Li family pharmacy shop's staff, they will help you."
"yes."
The iron-breaking boy lowered his head and said to Chen Qiu:
"I'm thankful for this incident. If you didn't talk about it, I wouldn't be able to leave Suzhou."
"I hope you stay here."
Chen Qiu sighed and said:
"At the age of fourteen or fifteen, at such an old age, I am just a half-year-old child, so how can I feel at ease to let you walk far away alone? It's just that you have some concerns in your heart, and it's not a big deal to always drag it.
But you have to remember that Xiao Tie, in two months, no matter whether you find your family or not, you must rush back to Suzhou.
You are a little involved, and I think you understand that it is a matter of life."
The iron-cut boy nodded and said:
"I understand, brother, I will definitely come back on time."
While the two were talking, Qingqing girl also walked out of the inn with a pack of dry food and a few water bags. She and the young man with the iron-cutter were good friends.
Now that my good friend is leaving, she will naturally not be in a good mood.
She handed the dry food bag in her hand to the folded iron and said:
"Xiao Tie, you must pay attention to safety. I heard from Uncle Song that the land of Qilu is quite uneasy. If you encounter danger, you will go to the local Beggars' Gang for help. Uncle Song gave you a letter.
Yes, I'll take it with me."
The young man with iron touched his chest, where there was a letter from Beggar Song.
In recent years, under the coordination of the leader Zhang Tugou, the Beggar Sect has become increasingly united. When something happens, the leader Song Beggar, the leader of Suzhou, will still help the Qilu Beggar Sect.
"And your sword."
Qingqing girl glanced at the carriage and said with concern:
"Do you mention it or not?
Several forging masters at the piano platform said that the thing was made just a decoration, and they said no one was fighting with that kind of thing."
"Don't listen to them nonsense."
Xiao Tie chuckled, he touched his head, showed a honest smile, and said to Qingqing:
"The big sword I use in the master's sect is a bit heavier than this sword. The sword my master used is more than twice the weight of this sword.
Of course, it is dancing, and it can be beaten, and it is enough to protect yourself. Qingqing doesn’t have to worry about me.”
"Yes, Xiao Tie is born with divine power."
Chen Qiu patted the junior sister on the shoulder, and he said:
"If it is an ordinary weapon, it is quite unpleasant to use it. Only this heavy sword on the board can exert his amazing strength. However, I have never heard of putting chains on the sword."
Chen Qiu looked at the broken iron suspiciously and said:
"Although I know what you are learning is not ordinary martial arts, is this really useful?"
"some."
The iron-broken boy posed in a strange position, he said:
"If you throw it out like this, you can still retract it with a chain. When you encounter a group attack, you will swing a big sword. Ordinary people are not close to you."
"That's how it is."
Chen Qiu seemed to have thoughts.
The three of them had a conversation again, and the car from the Li family pharmacy shop there was ready to set off.
He stopped wasting time, reached out and patted the iron-clad boy on the shoulder, and said to him:
"You set out now, we're waiting for you to come back in Suzhou."
"OK."
The iron-cut boy waved to late Qiu and Qingqing, then sat in the carriage, followed the Li Family Pharmacy Convoy to the post road.
Chen Qiu and Qingqing watched him leave, and he turned his head to look at the silent Qingqing girl beside him.
He quipped softly:
"If you are like Yaoqin and are well versed in piano skills, you can play the piano today, which is so stylish."
"whispering sound."
Qingqing glared at Chen Qiu unhappily, and she said:
"Bad Senior Brother, you must have remembered Lin Huiyin again. Do you miss her?"
"You girl!"
Chen Qiu reached out and shot Qingqing's forehead with dissatisfaction, and he said:
"I've said that, I don't have that kind of thought. I'm on the 17th year... I don't plan to have an early love relationship."
"If you don't say you're only seventeen, I think you're twenty-seven."
Qingqing untied the reins of the horse and turned her back on her horse. She complained to Chen Qiu:
"You are not like a young man at all, you are old-fashioned, but you are becoming more and more like your master."
Chen Qiu refused to answer the conversation.
He also turned over the horse and let the horse carry him and Qingqing slowly walk towards Suzhou. After walking for a while, Chen Qiu suddenly said:
"Speaking of this, I haven't been to worship my master for a long time."
He looked at Qingqing and said:
"However, we go to Qintai and the master will not be able to return to Suzhou tonight, so we will rest on the Qintai. You and Yaoqin also talk about sisterly love, how about it?"
"OK."
Qingqing pulled the reins of the horse and turned the horse's head. She said to Chen Qiu:
"There are also candles and paper money on the Qintai side, so there is no need to prepare it. Let's go, senior brother, let's compare and see who will arrive at Qintai first."
"Riding a horse?"
Chen Qiu shook his head and said:
"What's the point of riding a horse? It's better to compare your body skills. I think you have achieved some success in your practice recently. We will put the horse in the post station and come to pick it up tomorrow."
"OK!"
Qingqing smiled, with confidence in her smile.
A quarter of an hour later, two figures flew past the forest far away from the post road. At first, Qingqing could barely keep up with Chen Qiu's pace.
The two of them were as light as swallows, rushing forward in the forest.
Occasionally, the toes are tapped on the ground, just like swallows flying, dragonflies squirting, and they rise again.
But after more than one stick of incense, Qingqing girl couldn't stand it.
Her steps slowed down, and she was panting and sweating profusely. Her true energy in her body had been exhausted. She barely insisted on counting breaths, and even her legs were filled with lead.
On the other hand, Chen Qiu was still so slow, and he even put his hands behind his back, with long hair flying between the rise and fall, which was quite chic.
To be continued...
