Chapter 14

Dongting Lake, Yueyang City.

A young man sat lazily under the archway with a withered straw in his mouth.

The boy was dressed in a light gray coat with a long sword tied behind his back. His trouser legs were pulled up high, revealing his feet as thin as bones.

Beside him stood a very thin little donkey.

People are lazy and donkeys are listless.

The boy is the traceless wanderer here.

The summer sun is full of energy and wants to scorch the earth.

The guys in the street shops were sleepy, and the vendors all looked for the shade under the big tree.

It was a lazy afternoon, one that made people listless and the donkey listless.

But it was in such an afternoon that a burst of rapid hoof sounds sounded in the street like thunder.

The sound of horses' hoofs shattered the peace of the whole street.

Pedestrians woke up and gave way.

At one end of the street, three galloping horses galloped, and three men in green were struggling to whip.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way“

Then fruits and vegetables rolled all over the ground, and vendors' boxes and baskets flew all over the sky.

With the "crackling" sound of the whip, some screamed and others screamed.

The long street, which was just quiet and lazy, was in chaos for a moment.

At dusk, in the long street, a child less than five years old was crying loudly and looking around.

In the crowd, a young woman lost her beauty and threw her vegetable basket on the ground.

She screamed and cried, desperate to jump on the child.

The thunder like sound of horse's hooves didn't wake up without trace. This heartbreaking and shrill cry made no trace jump up.

Seeing a galloping horse like electricity, he was less than two feet away from the child.

Everyone raised his heart to his throat. If you step on it, will the child wilt and die?

At this time, traceless, like an ape, bounced up and flew to the lost child.

A figure flashed by, and three horses ran like electricity. They didn't stop at all. In the twinkling of an eye, they had run five feet away.

After the woman screamed, her eyes turned white and her head fell back.

Fortunately, passers-by held them one after another. Some people grabbed them, some poured cold water, and some moved wooden stools.

A moment later, the woman woke up with a "whining" sound. Zhang looked into the street and saw the fruits and melons in the long street, but there was no sign of the child?

He almost fainted again with a scream.

At this time, they saw a thin boy like a monkey coming with a child in his arms, but the child was the one who panicked in the standing road.

The crowd applauded one after another, and the applause was thunderous for a moment.

The woman looked up, pushed aside the crowd, came forward and took the child. "Plop" knelt to the ground, but she choked and couldn't make a sound.

I don't know who said: "the people of Cuiliu villa are too arrogant! Even flying horses in the long street, regardless of other people's life and death“

The crowd echoed one after another, and there was humanity: "I owe this young man today. Otherwise, there will be another dead soul on the long street“

The crowd applauded again.

No trace flashed a pair of eyes, showed two rows of white teeth and grinned. Then he walked to the little donkey standing motionless in the distance as if nothing had happened.

The woman strode to catch up and wanted to kneel again. Traceless stopped her quickly.

"Thanks to your help, the children were saved from being robbed. Please leave your name and surname. When I go home, I will offer you a memorial tablet and kneel down with fragrance in the morning and evening, so as to protect your long life“

Traceless fool, I don't have many years to live. How can I live a long life?

He climbed slowly onto the donkey's back and said, "my name is traceless“

A man and a donkey walked slowly on the long messy street and went alone.

The crowd looked at the skinny boy riding a skinny and listless little donkey, as if they saw that he was shining more brightly than the sun hanging in the sky.

The donkey was listless, traceless and sleepy.

A man and a donkey slowly came to the lake. In front of them, the blue waves were vast and the sails were intertwined. Gulls fly on the lake and the sky is as blue as washing.

No trace stands by the lake and looks into the distance. It's relaxing and happy.

On the surface of the lake, a boat was chopping and chopping slowly.

The boat stopped ten feet away from the lake. From a distance, it was luxurious and exquisite.

The boat is divided into four layers. The bottom layer only sees a row of windows and a row of wood pulp. The upper three floors are like attics, carved beams and painted buildings.

At the bow of the ship, a black brocade flag was hung on a flagpole two feet high. On the flag surface, the Big Dipper seven stars were embroidered with white silk thread, which was black and white.

On the open-air pavilions in the three storey attic, several women dressed in colorful clothes stood, dancing in the lake wind, as if they wanted to fly away in the wind.

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade stood still by the lake. Seeing that the boat stopped, he hugged his fist and said, "is it the cold landlord of the star picking building? My villa leader learned that the landlord recently visited Yueyang and ordered me to wait here for many days. I also hope that landlord Leng will condescend and go to Cuiliu villa for a chat“

The voice is loud and full of Qi. Although it is far away, it can still be heard clearly.

A moment later, on the pavilion on the top floor of the painted boat, a man in royal clothes raised his voice and said: "the landlord has been wandering on the water for several days. He is very tired. He will rest here today and visit villa leader Yue another day“

With a sigh of "Hi", the middle-aged man on the shore hugged his fist and turned back to leave.

No trace looked at the boat and thought, "Lord Leng of the star picking building, this man's shelf is not small! People have been waiting here for many days, but they can't invite him“

However, after the long street incident just now, he had no good feelings for Cuiliu villa. It was not inappropriate to invite the owner of the star picking building.

At this time, a wisp of piano sound came from the boat.

The sound of the piano is melodious and graceful, very beautiful.

Traceless doesn't know the rhythm, and doesn't know whether the piano sound is good or bad.

He just thought the sound of "Ding Dong" was very pleasant.

He lay under a weeping willow tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, closed his eyes and listened. His intuition was relaxed, happy and intoxicated.

Vaguely, he seemed to feel a trace of resentment and sadness in the piano sound.

Not far away, an old man was fishing on an abandoned wharf.

The old man had white hair and beard and sat alone by the lake with a fishing rod in his hand.

But half an hour later, he didn't catch a fish scale.

The sound of the piano went away, and the lake was quiet except for the sound of the water lapping on the shore.

Traceless came to the fishing old man's back curiously, and finally saw him suddenly lift the fishing rod, but he clearly saw a fish jump out of the water, but fall into the water again.

The old man had no choice but to fish again.

In this way, twice in a row, the fish just came out of the water and ran away!

The old man was so angry that his beard turned up, and he laughed happily when there was no trace.

The old man looked back at him, turned and "plopped" into the lake.

No trace of laughter.

The old man is not good. He can't fish. I laugh at him and can't think of throwing into the lake?

No trace, no water, just waiting to shout "help!", The old man grabbed a fat carp in one hand and jumped out of the water like a fish and landed by the lake.

The old man "ha ha" laughed. He looked at the fish in his left hand and the fish in his right hand. He murmured, "I won't let you take the bait, I won't let you take the bait!"

He looked very proud.

Traceless is feeling interesting. I don't want the old man to say a few words and throw the two fish into the lake.

This time, no trace is completely stupid.

Is the old man crazy?

He stared as bright as the stars, looked at the old man to pack up his fishing rod and basket, walked slowly to him and looked up, down, left and right for a moment.

"You're crazy“

The old man suddenly said.

Traceless was startled by his word.

"How does he know I'm wondering if he's crazy“

"You are a Crazy Monkey“

The old man spits out his tongue, turns around and leaves, leaving no trace and messy in the lake wind.

The sun set and dusk came.

Traceless led the donkey slowly into a restaurant in the east of the city.

The largest and most luxurious restaurant in Yueyang City... Jiang nanchun.

The restaurant is divided into two floors. The elegant seats upstairs are full, and more than 20 tables downstairs are basically full.

When he gave the donkey to Xiao ER and ordered him to burn five kilograms of sorghum, Xiao ER was stunned for a long time.

He came to a table in a secluded corner, ordered two dishes at will and ordered a jar of Dongting spring.

In the restaurant, there are a couple of grandsons singing songs.

The old man is about 70, and the little girl is only 13 or 14 years old.

The old man pulled the two strings and the sound of "babbling" was slightly desolate.

The little girl's singing is tender, but her words are correct.

Suddenly, a rough voice shouted, "stop, stop, stop! What kind of elegant finch singing? It's terrible! Give me a 18 touch, sing it to my delight, and I will reward you with this silver! "

No trace followed the sound and saw three men dressed in green clothes, who were galloping along the long street in the afternoon.

One of them has a face full of flesh, thick eyebrows, a lion nose, a wide mouth and a disorderly beard.

Holding a silver ingot of about 22 Liang in his hand, he stepped on the bench and looked down at the trembling, poor little girl.

The little girl looked at the fierce light in his eyes and shrank back timidly.

The other two men also gathered around and said, "sing, sing! After singing, the silver will be yours! "

One of them reached for the little girl's chin.

"This girl looks very handsome. Why don't you play the piano and sing here if you go back with me and eat hot and spicy every day?"

Although the old man was afraid, he was eager to protect his granddaughter. He smashed the Hu Qin in his hand and shouted angrily, "beast, let her go!"

The man slapped the old man on the chest with his backhand and knocked him over. The girl screamed, jumped up and kept crying for Grandpa.

There were dozens of people in the restaurant, but none of them gave a word of advice. No one extended a finger to help.

Most of them look up and have a look. Some are indifferent, some shake their heads and sigh, and some turn a blind eye. There are various forms.

No trace is far away. It's too late to find the old man beaten and want to save him.

The man reached for the girl and burst into a drink without trace.

"Let her go“

The crowd was stunned and looked at Xiang Wuji.

Seeing that he was as thin as a monkey, they dared to intervene in this business. Look at the three men, all with big arms and round waist, who could easily break him up.

The three men saw the most ridiculous things in the world and laughed wildly at the same time.

"Little monkey, do you want to meddle in your grandpa's business?"

While talking, the man with a fierce face stretched out his hand and punched the traceless face door!
