Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 357. 356. A Boy's Letter
"I am leaving."

"……Um."

"Ah."

Under the stone steps, the Taoist said goodbye to his friends.

It's getting dark, it's time to get out of town.

There were waves in Hongying's eyes, as if she wanted to say a lot.

But the Taoist didn't find anything, so he left as soon as he said.

But just took two steps... Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head:

"Hongying."

"……Um."

Looking at the woman, the Taoist bared his teeth:

"take care of yourself."

The woman was startled...

Look at the Taoist's free and clean face.

She opened her mouth...and even leaned forward tentatively.

However, everything stopped within five thousandths of a second.

Nodding her head, the face of the always glamorous and capable woman at this moment... I don't know if it is the reflection of the setting sun, or what.

Amidst the shallow pink radiance, she nodded lightly:
"You too."

"Hey, don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's not like I won't be back...Let's go."

Waving his hands, the Taoist priest picked up a bamboo pole, behind which was a bundle, and walked along the road towards the distance.

After walking a few more steps, he turned his head and grinned again at the woman standing under the setting sun.

It's just a pity...

At some point, the woman's eyes were blocked by a layer of undetectable water waves.

it took.

One can only vaguely see the Taoist man wearing a dark blue Taoist robe gradually walking into the light among the colorful rays of light.

Farther.

Disappear.

……

Honghua County, Taishoufu.

"...Specially ordered you to be the consolation ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, and bestow you with a pair of bright armor and a pair of moth jade discs. I respect you."

"Sir, lead the order, thank you!"

With the middle-aged military general kneeling on one knee receiving the imperial decree issued by Yang Guang himself, this "sacred" ceremony came to an end.

The servant in red smiled openly:

"Our family congratulates Mr. Li. Congratulations to Mr. Li. From now on, please submit a thank you form to our family. After departure on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, when you arrive in Luoyang, please also ask Mr. Li to go to the palace wearing the bright armor bestowed by His Majesty, and travel as fast as possible." Some, Your Majesty... I don’t really like waiting for people.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged general bowed his hands in thanks.

Then without further ado, a young man next to him looked very young, and the young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes took a step forward:
"Supervisor Qi, although Honghua is bitter and cold, the superintendent has worked hard all the way. We have prepared drinks and banquets and arranged accommodation. The superintendent has worked hard and done a lot. Please move to take a rest for a while. Let my father do his best in the evening." The friendship of the landlord."

Hearing this, the servant in red hurriedly waved his hands:

"The title of superintendent is not worthy, and our family is only here on orders."

Although he said it on his lips, anyone could tell that he liked this title that could only represent Huang Xizi in the capital.

So, after arguing with him, the young man led him out of the main hall and walked towards the back of the prefect's mansion.

But the middle-aged general who received the imperial edict did not leave.

He just sat on the chair, put the imperial decree on the table next to him, and stared blankly.

While lighting the lamps, a young general came in from the outside.

After seeing the middle-aged general, he walked up to him respectfully, added a cup of tea for him, and said in a low voice:

"Father, the accommodation has been arranged."

"Ah."

Seeing that the middle-aged general seemed not very interested, the young man thought for a while and said:
"Father is worried about returning to Beijing this time, His Majesty will let father go to Jiangdu with the army?"

"..."

The middle-aged general looked up at his son and asked:

"What? Received another letter from your sister?"

"Uh……"

The young man was a little embarrassed...

But after thinking about it, he still said:
"Don't worry, Dad... Sister... I must be very happy to know that Dad can come."

"... let's go down."

Seeing the turbulent eyes of the middle-aged man, the young man left without saying a word.

The eunuch's mansion was very large, and the young man bypassed the group of eunuchs from Beijing all the way, and came to a martial arts arena.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a muffled wind humming in the martial arts arena.

The substantial wind rushed to the face of the person, and there was a sense of fear that made people feel cold through the body.

But the young man seemed to have gotten used to it, through the heavy wind like roaring tigers and dragons, he looked at the dancing figure in the middle of the martial arts arena holding two copper hammers.

The figure doesn't look tall, much shorter than the young man...

And looking at his face, he turned out to be a half-grown child.

It looks thick eyebrows and big eyes... quite simple and honest.

It's just...beneath this simple and honest face, he is holding two huge copper hammers with ease as if nothing.

The copper hammer is really big.

Each one is about the size of a later yoga ball.

Picking out one, nothing else, just talking about its size, that seemingly thin body is not even half the width of the copper hammer in his hand.

But it just happened to be such an unscientific body shape, and at this moment, playing with those two copper hammers was like a tiger!It's like a copper hammer is weightless, and it's as light as paper!

At this time, the young man spoke:

"Cough cough."

Hearing this movement, the figure dancing with the copper hammer paused immediately.

then……

"Wow!"

A copper hammer came out of his hand and went straight to the young man's face!

"..."

The young man didn't dare to be careless, bowed his waist and tied his horse, his hands were knotted with veins, and after posing in an embracing posture...

"Humph!!"

A copper hammer in his arms.

A muffled hum!
Inertia made the young man inevitably take three steps back, and a black mark was drawn on the bluestone slab under his feet.

But he continued steadily:
"call……"

Breathing out a breath of white air from his mouth and nose, he twisted his waist step by step, spun half of his body, and threw the "copper ball" in his arms towards the thin body:

"then!"

"Hahaha~"

The thin and small man let out an excited laugh, looked at the slowly approaching copper ball, and said in his mouth:

"Too slow! Too slow, too slow!"

Then he stepped on the void, and when there was nowhere to borrow strength in mid-air, he accurately grasped the handle of the copper hammer with one hand.

He didn't even use any force, just pulled and lifted lightly, and the copper hammer that he knew how many catties weighed that day was accompanied by a front flip of his, just like that, it was caught in his hand, and fell "lightly".

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two heavy hammers fell to the ground, continuing to show their own heaviness on the bluestone steps with several cracks.

And the small figure with sweat on his forehead but no signs of panting has come to the young man:
"elder brother!"

"Yuanba, how long have you been playing?"

The young man nodded with a smile, and asked in a rather rude manner after wiping the sweat off the little figure's forehead.

The half-grown child named Yuanba shook his head:

"I've been playing for half an hour... Daddy said that there are people at home today and he won't let me go out. He is afraid that I will get into trouble, so I can only play here by myself. Brother, will you practice with me?"

The young man hastily refused:
"Don't, brother still wants to live for two more years..."

"This……"

The half-grown child instantly wrote unhappiness on his face.

Seeing this, the young man laughed:
"Haha, I have good news for you, do you want to listen?"

"Good news?...Yes!"

The child is full of anticipation.

Then I saw my brother take out a letter from his pocket:
"Guess, guess who this letter is from?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the child's nose moved and made a sniffing motion.

Then... the long hair on his head danced wildly like a spirit snake because of his joyful mood:
"It's Sister! It's Sister's smell!!!"

His beard and hair are all stretched out, and his expression is ecstatic.

He is obviously a half-grown child, but that ecstatic face doesn't match any cute and handsome features related to teenagers, on the contrary, it looks particularly ferocious!

Even because his mood fluctuated too much, the young man's whole body was rippling with a mountain-like pressure!

It was as if any matter that entered within a foot of the boy's body would be crushed into dust by this pressure!
But... the fingers that could carry two thousand-weight hammers and play around with each other, when they pinched the letter, they were extremely gentle.

It's like a baby just learning to walk, pinching his mother's hand while reeling.

Squeeze the letter.

sniff.

With increasingly certain ecstasy, the boy gently unfolded the letter.

And his elder brother seemed to know his younger brother's habits. After unfolding the letterhead, he helped his younger brother to ignore some of the above explanations, but directly pointed to a place:
"it's here."

Following the instructions of his brother, the boy saw those words and opened his mouth to read:

"Tell Yuanba to listen to... what your father says."

Just ten words.

Only ten words.

The boy's eyes flickered, and after reading aloud, he began to read it again from the beginning.

Then it seemed that it was not enough, so I did it for the second time, and the third time... After reading the short ten words many times, I suddenly looked up at my brother:
"elder brother!"

To be honest, he is not good looking.

Under the excitement at this moment, his long hair danced without wind, and the ecstatic smile on his broad nose and wide mouth made his eyes blind. Different, slightly sharp, beast-like fangs snapped together neatly up and down.

Obviously smiling.

But it became more fierce!
Under the black light and blind fire at this time of lighting the lamp, it looks like a wild beast grinning at people, and it looks extraordinarily ferocious.

"Squeaky..."

Laugh out of joy.

Grinding teeth with excitement.

The sound of creaking teeth paired with this face is the beast that chooses to eat people!
Who would have thought... at this very moment he was laughing?
"Sister...hehehehe..."

"Squeaky..."

"Sister!!!!"

"Squeak..."

Teeth grinding mixed with a smile.

The young people who watched were not afraid, on the contrary, they were also happy.

"hey-hey."

Putting a hand on his younger brother's exaggeratedly flying hair, he said:
"So, you have to listen to Sister, you know? Listen to Sister, and listen to Daddy carefully... You can't talk back to Daddy anymore."

"Crackling...hehehehehe..."

Amidst the sound of grinding teeth, the ugly boy nodded vigorously:

"Ok!"

"Okay, let's go, there are distinguished guests in the mansion tonight, brother will take you to dinner first. After dinner, you stay in your yard obediently and don't run around, understand? Don't let those people find you... Otherwise My sister will have a headache."

"Ok!"

One big and one small, the two disappeared outside the door.

　Ask for a monthly pass! !
