C14 The Pegasus Saved Him
Cavern Lake, Yueyang City.
A youth was lazily sitting at the bottom of the deck, his mouth holding a withered straw in his mouth.
This young man was wearing a light grey shirt, a long sword tied to his back, and his pants were tied up high. His legs were so thin that they looked like bones.
Next to him was an extremely thin donkey.
It was languid, and the donkey was listless as well.
This youth was Wuhen, who had wandered here.
The summer sun was full of energy, and it was as if it wanted to burn this piece of land into scorched earth.
The shop assistants on the side of the street were all sleepy, and the peddlers were all looking for the shade under the tree.
It was a lazy afternoon, a listless afternoon, and a listless afternoon.
However, it was in this kind of afternoon that the sound of hurried horse hooves sounded like thunder on the street.
This sound of horse hooves shattered the silence of the entire street.
The pedestrians woke up one after another and moved away.
On one side of the street, three horses were galloping at lightning speed. Three men in green were raising their whips with all their might.
"Move aside, move aside!"
After that, fruits and vegetables were rolling all over the floor. The basket and the frame of the stall were flying all over the place.
Accompanied by the cracking sound of the whip, some people cried out miserably, some people cried out in alarm.
The quiet and lazy street was suddenly thrown into chaos.
Suddenly, a child less than five years old was crying loudly on the long street, looking around in search of him.
In the crowd, a young woman's face turned pale, the basket in her hand had long been thrown to the ground.
She cried out loudly, cried, and threw herself at the child, disregarding everything else.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves did not awaken Wuhen, and this heart-wrenching cry caused him to leap up.
The horse was like a bolt of lightning, less than two zhang away from the child.
Everyone's hearts jumped to their throats. If he was stepped on, would the child still be alive?
At this moment, Wuhen was like a monkey as he jumped up and pounced towards the child who had lost his direction.
A figure flashed past, and the three horses were like lightning. They did not seem to have any intention of stopping, and in the blink of an eye, they were already more than fifteen meters away.
The woman let out a heart-wrenching scream. After that, her eyes turned white, and she fell down with her head raised.
Fortunately, the pedestrians on the side all supported her. Some people held him down, while others poured cold water for him. Someone brought a wooden stool over.
After a moment, the woman woke up with a moan. She looked towards the street and saw that the street was a mess of fruits and fruits, but where was the trace of the child?
He couldn't help but let out a miserable cry and almost fainted again.
At this moment, everyone saw a young man as thin as a monkey carrying a child walk over quickly. This child was the one who stood in the middle of the road, the one who made people panic.
Everyone cheered, and for a moment, the applause was like thunder.
The woman looked up and pushed the crowd aside. She went forward and took the child. She fell to her knees with a "plop" sound, but she could not make a sound.
Someone said: "The people of Emerald Willow Manor are too arrogant! They are riding horses on the streets, disregarding the lives of others!"
Everyone echoed in agreement. Another person said, "Today, it's all thanks to this young man. Otherwise, on this long street, another vengeful soul would have died!"
Everyone applauded once again.
Wuhen's eyes flashed, revealing two rows of pure white teeth as he grinned. Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked over to the motionless donkey in the distance.
The woman chased after him and was about to kneel again when Wuhen hurriedly stopped her.
"Benefactor Duo Meng has saved this child from a calamity. Please leave behind your name, Benefactor. When I return home, I will offer you Benefactor's memorial tablet. Sooner or later, I will kneel down and worship you with a sweet fragrance, so that Benefactor can live a long life!"
Wuhen was dumbfounded. He didn't have many years to live, so how could he live a long life?
He slowly climbed onto the donkey's back and said, "My name is Wuhen. "
A man and a donkey slowly walked on the messy streets and left alone.
Everyone looked at this lean young man riding on a thin and listless donkey. It was as if they could see a myriad of rays of light emitting from his body that was even more dazzling than the sun that hung high in the sky.
The donkey was listless, and Traceless was drowsy.
A man and a donkey slowly arrived at the lakeside. In front of them was a vast expanse of blue waves, and the sails were interwoven. The seagulls on the surface of the lake were flying, and the sky was blue as if it was being washed.
Wuhen stood by the lakeside and gazed into the distance. He could not help but feel relaxed and relaxed.
On the surface of the lake, a pleasure boat was slowly sailing through the waves.
The pleasure boat stopped a hundred feet away from the shore. Looking from afar, this pleasure boat was luxurious and exquisite.
The pleasure boat was divided into four levels. On the lowest level, there was only a row of windows that extended out a row of wood pulp. The top three levels were all like attics, carved with pillars and painted buildings.
At the bow of the boat, a black banner was hung on a two zhang tall flagpole. On the banner, there were white silk threads embroidered with the Big Dipper, black and white, making it very conspicuous.
On the three-story pavilion, there were a few beautiful women wearing colorful clothes. Their clothes were fluttering in the lake wind, as if they were going to fly in the wind.
A middle-aged man in embroidered clothes stood quietly by the lake. When he saw the boat stop, he cupped his fists and said, "Are you Tavern Lord Leng from the Star Picking Tower? My family's master had received news that Tavern Lord had visited the Yueyang recently. He had specially ordered me to wait here for a few days. I hope that Tavern Lord Leng will lower himself and head to the Emerald Willow Manor to have a chat! "
His voice was loud and clear, and it was filled with energy. Although they were quite far away, they could still hear him clearly.
A moment later, on the pavilion on the top floor of the pleasure boat, a man in embroidered clothes spoke loudly. "After drifting on the water for a few days, Tavern Lord is already extremely exhausted. Today, I will rest here. I will pay Manor Lord Yue a visit another day!"
The middle-aged man on the shore let out a sigh, cupped his fists from afar, and turned around to leave.
Wuhen looked at the boat and thought, Tavern Lord Leng from the Star Picking Tower, this person is putting on airs! I've been waiting here for many days, but I can't even invite him!"
However, he had just experienced the incident on the long street. He didn't have a good impression of Emerald Willow Manor, so it wasn't inappropriate for him not to invite Tavern Lord from Star Picking Tower.
At this moment, the sound of a zither could be heard from the boat.
The sound of the zither was melodious and pleasant to the ears.
Wuhen did not understand music, nor did he know whether the sound of the zither was good or bad.
He only felt that this "Ding Dong" sound was very pleasing to the ear.
He lay under a lush willow tree, closed his eyes, and listened. Intuition told him that he was refreshed and intoxicated.
Vaguely, he seemed to feel a trace of bitterness and bitterness in the tune of the zither.
Not far away, on an abandoned dock, an old man was fishing.
The old man's hair and beard were all white. He sat alone by the lake, holding a Fishing Rod in his hand.
However, after an hour, he still did not catch a fish scale.
After the sound of the zither faded away, apart from the sound of the lake water hitting the shore, it became quiet.
Traceless curiously came behind the fishing elder and finally saw him suddenly lift up the Fishing Rod. He clearly saw a fish jump out of the water, but it fell back into the water.
Helpless, the elder could only continue fishing.
This continued twice, and both times, the fish ran away as soon as it came out of the water!
The old man was so angry that his beard jumped up, while Wuhen laughed heartily.
The old man turned around to look at him, then turned around and jumped into the lake with a "plop. "
Traceless' laughter stopped.
This old man can't be. . . If he can't fish, I'll laugh at him a few times, and he won't be able to think about throwing himself into the lake?
Wuhen also didn't know how to water, so he was just about to open his mouth and shout, "Save him! "With a splash, the old man grabbed a fat carp with one hand and jumped out of the water like a fish, landing by the lake.
The old man laughed and looked at the fish in his left hand and the fish in his right hand. He murmured, "I told you not to take the bait, I told you not to take the bait!"
His expression was full of pride.
Just as Wuhen found this interesting, the old man finished speaking and threw the two fish into the lake.
This time, Wuhen was completely dumbfounded.
Could this old man be a madman?
He stared with eyes as bright as stars as he watched the old man pack up the Fishing Rod and fish basket before slowly walking in front of him. He sized him up from head to toe for a moment.
"You are the crazy one!"
The old man suddenly said.
Wuhen was shocked by his words.
"How does he know that I'm thinking about whether he's crazy or not?"
"You're a crazy monkey!"
The old man stuck out his tongue and turned around to leave, leaving Wuhen in the middle of the lake wind.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sun was setting.
Wuhen slowly led the donkey into a restaurant in the east of the city.
It was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Yueyang City - Jiangnan Chun.
The restaurant was divided into two levels. The seats upstairs were already full, and the twenty or so tables downstairs were also basically full.
When he handed the donkey to the waiter and ordered him to prepare a five-pound sorghum glutination, the waiter was stunned for a long time.
He went to a table in a secluded corner and casually ordered two side dishes. He ordered a pot of cavernous spring water.
In the restaurant, there was a pair of grandfather and grandson singing.
The old man was around 70 years old while the little girl was only 13 or 14 years old.
The old man pulled the string, and the sound of "Yiya" sounded desolate.
The little girl's voice was young and tender, but her words were true.
Suddenly, a boorish voice shouted, "Stop, stop, stop! The singing of the sparrow was so unpleasant to the ear! Give me a piece of Eighteen Touches. If you sing to my delight, I will reward you with this silver! "
Traceless followed the sound and saw three men dressed in emerald green clothes. They were the three men who rode their horses on the long street in the afternoon.
One of them had a fierce face, thick eyebrows, a lion's nose, wide mouth, and a messy beard.
He held a silver ingot in his hand and stepped on the bench. He leaned over to look at the trembling and pitiful little girl.
The little girl looked at the ominous glint in his eyes and timidly retreated.
The other two men also surrounded him and hurriedly said: "Sing, sing! After singing, the silver is yours! "
One of them reached out his hand to touch the little girl's chin.
"This girl has a strange and handsome appearance. Why don't you follow me back and eat and drink spicy food every day? Why play the zither and sing here?"
Although the old man was afraid, he was very protective of his granddaughter. He smashed the zither in his hand and angrily shouted, "Beast, let her go!"
The man backhanded hit the old man's chest and immediately knocked him down. The girl cried out in alarm and pounced over, continuously crying for her grandpa.
There were dozens of people in the restaurant, but none of them tried to persuade her. Not a single one of them even stretched out a finger to help.
Most of them raised their heads to take a look. Some had cold expressions on their faces, some shook their heads and sighed, and some turned a blind eye. There were all kinds of expressions on their faces.
Wuhen was far away. When he realized that the old man had been beaten up, it was already too late to save him.
The man reached out his hand to grab the girl, and Traceless suddenly shouted.
"Let her go!"
Everyone was stunned as they turned to look at Wuhen.
Everyone saw that he was as thin as a monkey, yet he dared to interfere in this matter. Look at those three men, all of them were big and strong, and any one of them could easily break him apart.
Those three men seemed to have seen something extremely ridiculous in the world, and at the same time, they laughed wildly.
"Little monkey, do you think you can meddle in your grandfather's business?"
As he spoke, the fierce-looking man stretched out his hand and punched towards the Traceless Door!
