"Master is a very interesting person." Su Baiyi thought for a long time and finally used this sentence as his opening remarks.
Nangong Xi'er ate the rice in small bites with a calm expression: "Yes."
"He opened a book school in Xinghua Village to support the two of us, but the money was only enough for us to eat steamed buns, not enough to drink, so he sold calligraphy. The master's calligraphy was very good, but he was very
I was lazy, so he taught me how to write. Every Chinese New Year, I would write for the big families in the city. In just half a month, we could earn most of the expenses for the year. Master said that whatever was left over would be given to
Me, but he can spend just enough every year without leaving a penny." Su Baiyi said cautiously at first while observing Nangong Xi'er's expression. Later, seeing that Nangong Xi'er always looked calm, he began to speak freely.
"Later I learned to be smart and secretly kept some for myself every time, but the money was not enough to spend. So the master taught me how to listen to dice, and then asked me to go to the casino to make some money back, but I had to lose on purpose every time.
Some are afraid of attracting attention."
"Listen to the dice?" Nangong Xi'er took a sip of soup.
"Yes, my hearing is much better now. When I close my eyes, Master swings his sword at the apricot tree, and I can hear a few petals falling." Su Baiyi said proudly.
"No wonder, this is training your ability to listen to the wind and identify positions." Nangong Xi'er nodded, "But, does your master like to drink so much?"
"He likes drinking very much. He said he stayed here because the wine in Xinghua Village is good. But it's strange. Sometimes after drinking jars of Xinghua wine, he doesn't feel drunk at all. Instead, his eyes get more and more drunk.
Liang. But sometimes he gets drunk after just a few sips." Su Baiyi smiled and shook his head, "Master, he smiles every day, is gentle and loves to joke around, and everyone in the village likes him. But I think
"Master will have many strange behaviors when he is drunk. Sometimes he dances with the sword in the yard all night without saying a word. Sometimes he just lies on the apricot tree and looks at the stars in the sky all night. Sometimes he
As I told him the story of his dominance in the world, there were very, very few times when he would suddenly hold me and cry like a child. While crying, he would say that he was useless and that he was not the best swordsman at all.
Xie Kanhua is just a weak and useless man." Su Baiyi smiled and looked at Nangong Xi'er's expression that finally changed significantly. In fact, he had many, many things to say about Xie Kanhua.
He couldn't finish it in a day and a night, but he knew very well what stories Nangong Xi'er wanted to hear.
"When he is drunk, he often recites that little tune." Su Baiyi picked up a chopstick and gently tapped the porcelain bowl in front of him, "Preparing for the firewood, there are three stars in the sky. What night will I meet this beloved man?"
My son is here, my son is here, where is such a good man? I have prepared a bunch of Chu, and the three stars are in the corner. What night and what night will I see this encounter? My son is here, my son is here, how can I meet like this? I have prepared a bunch of flowers, and the three stars are at home. Today and what night, I will see this charming person.
Who? Zixi, Zixi, who is so charming?"
Nangong Xi'er also hummed softly along with her. After singing the song, the two of them suddenly stopped talking and each started eating in silence. The meal was finished in a quiet and strange atmosphere. After eating
, Su Baiyi put the food on the table back into the lunch box, and then poured a glass of wine for himself and Nangong Xi'er.
"Some things really have to be talked about with wine to make them more interesting." Su Baiyi suddenly sat upright and put the sword in his hand on the table.
"I heard from my mother that my father is a very talented man. He has read many books and been to many places, but only-" Nangong Xi'er stopped talking.
"But I have only loved one person." Su Baiyi drank a glass of wine, "Master also told me this. He is indeed very talented. He can quote scriptures casually. He can write ten poems by looking at an apricot flower.
Indeed, I have been to many places. I have been to a city called Suiye in the north and to an island in the South China Sea. As for the last one I mentioned, I only love one person. Master said that he once promised that woman to take three hundred disciples in white with him.
, riding thousands of miles from Weilong Mountain to Yunhuang, a flag must be placed on each horse, which reads: Swordsman Xie Kanhua will marry the fairy Nangong Yuwen, and welcomes heroes from all over the world to congratulate him. But he did not do it. When he
When a man rushed to the Tianmen Holy Sect with a sword, the land of Yunhuang became desolate again."
Nangong Xi'er took a sip of wine and said nothing.
"Master said that he has three regrets in his life. The first one is because he originally wanted to have no family and no sect, but he was forced to join Shanglin Tiangong because he could not defeat Su Han. He was forced to have a person who had to live in
The second thing is because I wanted to forget about my family without any worries, but because those children were cheated by me so badly when they were young. Although those old men were hated by others, these children really couldn't bear to let go, so
I have to go back to Jiangnan from time to time to shock those old men. The third thing is because I wanted to live a life of heartlessness and lovelessness, but my heart was shackles because of meeting that woman, and I can never be free again, because no matter what I do, I have it in my mind.
I always think of that person, but what’s even more hateful is that I like this kind of inability to be at ease, and always smile involuntarily. The maple leaves in Suiye City are beautiful, and the sea on the coast of the South China Sea can see thousands of things. Yunhuang has everything.
No, but as long as you stand with that girl, everything will be fine."
"Didn't I just say that Master can write ten poems against an apricot blossom? Master can write many love poems. I'll read you a few at will..."
"Master also told me the story of him and the woman exploring the desert of Yunhuang..."
"He also said that he had a beautiful daughter, but her whereabouts disappeared and he has been looking for her all these years."
"…………"
Nangong Xi'er didn't speak either. She always drank the wine, occasionally laughed or asked a few questions. After listening to Su Baiyi talking non-stop for more than an hour, she finally became a little drunk, lying on the table, in a daze.
fell asleep.
"Senior sister, senior sister..." Su Baiyi called softly, but Nangong Xi'er did not respond. He sighed softly, walked over and hugged Nangong Xi'er, "Why did you just fall asleep like this? But luckily I fell asleep.
, I really can’t talk anymore.”
"You lied." Nangong Xi'er said faintly, a bit drunk, and she didn't know whether she was still awake or talking in her sleep.
"ah?"
"I've already let it slip. Xie Kanhua has never seen my mother again since she left Yunhuang, so how could she know about me, a pretty little girl like me?"
"I must have remembered it wrong..."
"Also, there is no desert in Yunhuang. There are only hundreds of thousands of mountains that can't be seen in the distance."
"It seems that I really don't know the way..."
"I'm sorry for you. You've been making up stories since those three things. You've been lying. But I really, really like these deceptive stories." Nangong Xi'er shook her head and finally fell asleep completely.
