Chapter 123 comforts 第123章安慰 Xu Xian felt suddenly Zhong Li movement, turns round with empty to hold her the hand, said: „You wait a bit the moment, when I ascertain.” 许仙忽然感到钟黎的动作,回身用将手虚扶她一下,道:“你稍等片刻,待我问问清楚。” Zhong Li only thinks that a warm current has stroked, stood the body, some surprise looked at Xu Xian one, nods gently. 钟黎只觉一股暖流拂过,就不由站直了身子,有些诧异的望了许仙一眼,轻轻点了点头。 Xu Xian has actually turned the head saying: „Said that what's the matter?” 许仙却已转过头去道:“说吧,是怎么回事？” Even does not need Xu Xian to ask, the head of the clan is spills the beans saying that how the merchant has a glib tongue the peasant who deceives their these sinceres, what kind of oneself are „stupidly was very very naive” actually believed his nonsense, had just now that occurrence. Other townspeoples echo, what kind of hateful of said that merchant. 甚至都不用许仙问,族长已是竹筒倒豆子似的说了起来,那客商是如何的巧舌如簧欺瞒他们这些实诚的庄户人,自己是如何的“很傻很天真”竟然信了他的鬼话,才有方才那一幕的发生。其他的镇民纷纷应和着,说那客商如何如何的可恶。 Zhong Li then understands, originally unexpectedly is the disaster that own appearance annoys, she for a long time occupies in the mountain after all, although the thoughts are keenly intelligent, actually does not understand these will of the people treacherous. 钟黎这才明白,原来竟是自己的容貌惹来的祸患,她毕竟久居山中,心思虽然灵慧,却也不了解这些人心的诡谲。 The merchant struggles is wanting to argue, by two sturdy powerful big hand holding down head tight pressures on the ground, was only actually eaten the full mouth earth not to say a character one on the left and other on the right. 那客商挣扎着想要辩解,却被一左一右两只粗壮有力的大手按住头颅紧紧压在地上,只吃了满口的土也没说出一个字。 Xu Xian listened, although knows has not the unreality, but also understands immediately the sinister intention of this merchant, these slow rash townspeoples have what idea to Zhong Li, is impossible such quick performance, clearly is this merchant instigates, is angry, if oneself come late one step, how could it not be really to make people successful. 许仙听了一遍,虽知其中有不尽不实之处,但也立刻明白了这客商的险恶用心,这些迟钝莽撞的镇民就是对钟黎有什么想法,也绝不可能这么快的表现出来,分明是这客商从中挑拨,不由大怒,若是自己迟来一步,岂不真的让人成功。 Xu Xian has taken the horsewhip, „” a whip brushes in conducting the back of merchant, immediately the clothing breakage that merchant hits, bruised and lacerated, cold sound said: „I many matters must do today, without the time pays attention to your grade of villain, this whip you, and first takes down, if so the matter of owing heart, must have the day to punish again!” Then waved, making the townspeople let loose that merchant, „you walked!” 许仙拿过马鞭,“啪”的一鞭抽打在客商的背上,顿时将那客商打的衣衫破裂,皮开肉绽,寒声道:“我今日有许多事要做,没功夫理会你这等小人,这一鞭你且先记下,若是再行这般亏心之事,必有天罚！”而后挥挥手,让镇民放开了那客商,“你走吧！” The merchants such as the Mongolian pardon, knocked several heads continually, said: „Thanks the Sir, thanks the Sir.” Cannot attend to brushing off earth, on tumbling rushes to the yard. The status differs too in a big way, hates the retaliation the thought not to dare to raise, but took as bad luck. As the saying goes „people with standard dou-measure”, let alone are not such officer. 客商如蒙大赦,连磕了几个头,道:“谢谢大人,谢谢大人。”顾不得掸掸身上的土,就连滚带爬的奔出小院。彼此之间的身份相差太大,连怨恨报复的念头也不敢升起,只是自认倒霉。有道是“民不与官斗”,更何况是这样的官。 Xu Xian said to the townspeoples: „You get up!” He is helps Zhong Kui preside over the funeral rite, rather than does on large scale the criminal law. 许仙对镇民们道:“你们都起来吧！”他是来帮钟馗主持丧礼,而非大搞刑法的。 The townspeoples look at each other in blank dismay, helpless. 镇民们面面相觑,不知所措。 The head of the clan crawls from the ground, turns round saying: „Sir makes you get up, you get up!” That whip hit a moment ago, his heart jumped the throat quickly, only feared that the next whip fell on own body, now relaxes. 族长从地上爬起来,回身道:“大人让你们起来,你们就起来吧！”刚才那一鞭子打下来,他的心都快跳到嗓子眼,只怕下一鞭子就落在自己的身上,如今方松了口气。 Xu Xian said to the head of the clan: „I receive orders to attend to official duties, must help Zhong Kui issue a death announcement to construct the temple! You send people to prepare the plain white cloth, goes to the county magistrate this district to invite the speech again!” 许仙对族长道:“我奉旨办差,要帮钟馗发丧建庙！你去派人准备白布,再去将本县的县令请来说话！” The old-style funeral rite is a very troublesome work, chants a sutra and welcomes the material, to enter the alkali, to get a swelled head wait wait/etc. etc., these step cannot be few. Not only need prepare coffin shroud paper money these things, but must look for the monk sutras, the percussion instrument team, prepares the banquet. Such many work, Xu Xian is unbearably busy, does not need to be busy. He is receives orders to attend to official duties now, must have must draw support from the manpower and resources of place, when that county magistrate master came, asking him to use judgment to handle and that's the end. 古式的丧礼是一项很麻烦的工作,转咒、迎材、入碱、烧包等等等等,这些步骤一个都不能少。不但要准备棺木寿衣纸钱这些东西,还要找和尚诵经,锣鼓队伍,准备酒席。这样多的工作,许仙忙不过来,也不必忙。他如今算是奉旨办差,少不了要借助地方的人力物力,等那位县令老爷来了,请他酌情办理就是了。 Xu Xian lowered the head to think a while, dozens eyes such static is looking at him, was really like the lamb docility, seemed butchered a blade, can withstand silently, the fear of officer people, is publicizing all people being equal the modern age , was the same. Let alone in this tasteful social class status ancient times. Must say, is this attitude, creates the officers of many oppressor, regards the people like the fish. 许仙又低头想了一会儿,几十双眼睛就这么静静的望着他,真是如羔羊般的温顺,仿佛被宰上一刀,也能默默承受似的,民之畏官,就是在宣扬人人平等的现代,也是一样。更别说在这个讲究阶级名分的古代。不能不说,正是这种态度,造就不少虎狼之官,视民如鱼肉。 But in these Barbarian Race in remote area, although has „barren mountains and untamed rivers to have defiant person” evil reputation, but the government official finished one not to dare to run amuck. Annoyed the temper, manages your anything county magistrate governor of prefecture, gives you to come a red knife to enter the white knife to leave, that can only reason things out to Yama nearby. Allowing to be oppressed of peaceful populace, defiant person truculent and unreasonable, which one is good and which one is bad, has the proper limit personally. Most fears is actually not willing to make the peaceful populace to turn over to be the defiant person. 而在那些蛮族所在偏远之地,虽然有着“穷山恶水出刁民”恶名,但官吏去了却没有一个敢胡作非为的。惹毛了性子,管你什么县令知府,给你来个红刀子进白刀子出,那就只能到阎王爷跟前说理去了。顺民之任人宰割,刁民之蛮横无理,孰优孰劣,个人自有分际。最怕的却是不愿做顺民就要被归做刁民。 Xu Xian raised the head, determined that does not have other matter, that dozens heads hurry lowly, does not dare to look straight ahead in him. 许仙抬起头来,确定没有别的事,那几十个脑袋又赶紧低下,不敢直视于他。 Xu Xian waves saying: „Matter that I confess you, and remembers, un, dispersed!” 许仙挥挥手道:“我交代的事你且记得,嗯,都散了吧！” The townspeoples on withdraw from the yard sparsely, head of the clan desire goes forward to try to get close to Xu Xian, hesitant a while, the choice retreats with others together. 镇民们就稀稀疏疏退出小院,族长本欲上前同许仙套套近乎,犹豫了一会儿,还是选择跟其他人一起退去。 In the yard emptied suddenly, was only left over Xu Xian and Zhong Li two people. 小院中陡然之间空了下来,只剩下了许仙和钟黎二人。 day to the sunset, the bamboo shadow is desolate. 日向西斜,竹影萧疏。 Xu Xian turns around, the near one step wanted to say anything. 许仙转过身去,近前一步想要说些什么。 Zhong Li steps back hastily, both hands closely twist in the same place. The this solitary one male widow, is always most difficult to be together. But thinks that this is front this man, dropped from the clouds, solved her predicament, must help Zhong Kui preside over the funeral service, in the heart always feels grateful. 钟黎连忙退后一步,双手紧紧绞在一起。孤男寡女,总是最难相处。但想到这是面前这男子,从天而降,解了她的困局,又要帮钟馗主持丧仪,心中总是感激的。 It looks like from just now situation, he clearly is a big officer, does not know at once should use what attitude facing him, the benefactor, elder brother's friend, is Sir high-ranking official. Let alone that „your Elder Brother holds me to take care of you”, made her care. 只是从方才的情形看来,他分明是个不小的官,一时之间不知该用何种态度面对他,恩人,哥哥的朋友,还是上官大人。更何况那句“你哥哥托我照顾你”,还是令她十分在意。 Although Zhong Li many words want to ask Xu Xian, but instinct sees acting with constraint and alert of strange man with the young girl, cannot easily open the mouth. 钟黎虽有许多话想要问许仙,但本能的怀着少女见到陌生男子的矜持和戒备,不能轻易开口。 Xu Xian is mumbling at heart, is Yun Yan so slow? Opens the mouth saying: „Doesn't know the miss honored name?” 许仙心里嘟囔着,云嫣怎么这么慢？开口道:“不知姑娘尊姓大名？” Zhong Li busy say/way: „Girl named Zhong Li, may I ask...... the young master honored name!” She wants saying that Xu Xian is the Sir, but is not really able in these Mr. high-ranking official the images the Xu Xian same mind to superpose, is called as the young master, looked at Xu Xian one carefully, „thinks that he will not be angry!” 钟黎忙道:“小女子名为钟黎,敢问……公子尊姓大名！”她本想称许仙做大人,但实在无法将许仙同心目中那些上官老爷的形象重合起来,还是称作公子,小心的望了许仙的一眼,“想必他不会生气吧！” Xu Xian said: „My famous immortal character Scholar surnamed Xu.” 许仙道:“我姓许名仙字汉文。” Zhong Li is startled, Xu Xian permits Scholar? Where has probably listened. But her present mind is in great confusion, has no time to ponder such matter radically. But is quickly asks: „My brother, my brother he, really already......?” 钟黎一怔,许仙许汉文？好像在哪里听过。但她现在脑海乱成一团,根本无暇思考这样事。而是急忙问道:“我哥哥,我哥哥他,真的已经……？” Xu Xian heavy nod, goes to take out a small porcelain altar/jar from the pouch on horseback, said: „This is his bone ash!” 许仙沉重的点点头,去从马背上的囊中取出一个小小的瓷坛,道:“这就是他的骨灰！” He feels somewhat strangely, because he knows Zhong Kui now fortunately good existence in this world, although changed a way, but general is more comfortable than the person. In the hand this bone ash said that also misses with the carbon grey ingredient are not quite many, really has nothing at the worst, but is actually reposing a serious significance regarding the living person. 他感觉有些怪异,因为他知道钟馗现在还好好的存在于这世上,虽然是换了一种方式,但大概的比人还要自在。手中这骨灰说起来跟碳灰的成分也差不太多,实在没什么大不了的,但对于生人来说却又寄托着一种沉重的意义。 Zhong Li both hands shivered were receiving the porcelain altar/jar to hug in the bosom, the clear tears continuously spun in the pupil, is actually not willing easily to fall. Suddenly runs in the bamboo room, then transmitted constrained the sobbing in silence sound. 钟黎双手颤抖着接过瓷坛抱在怀里,晶莹的眼泪不住的在眸中打转,却又不肯轻易掉下来。忽然跑进竹屋中,然后就传来了压抑至极的饮泣声。 Xu Xian does not know immediately should be what to do good, if Zhong Kui were really only the simple death. He at this moment on this/should, whatever Zhong Li cries a happiness, but he knows that Zhong Kui is basic „has not died”, bursts oneself like the crying law in vain. But the boudoir of female, he is not good to rush rashly, outside the track toward institute looked around a while, actually does not see the arrival of Yun Yan. 许仙顿时不知该怎么办才好,如果钟馗真的只是简简单单的死了。他此刻就该任凭钟黎哭个痛快,但他又知道钟馗根本“没死”,像这样的哭法只是徒然伤身。但女子的闺房,他又不好贸然闯进去,向着院外的小道张望了一会儿,却还是不见云嫣的到来。 Xu Xian shakes the head, on changing course room. 许仙摇摇头,就转进房中。 Hut arrangement that the bamboo overflows fragrant simple neat, the utensil builds with the bamboo. In the boudoir of this young girl, does not have including the bronze mirror at the same time. A loom peaceful swayed in the corner of room, above is having one to weave the common cloth, the above delicate pattern appears the cleverness and deftness of young girl. 竹香四溢的小屋布置的简单整洁,器物都是用竹木打造。只是在这少女的闺房中,却连一面铜镜都没有。一架机杼安静的摆在房间的角落里,上面正有一匹织了一般的布匹,上面纤巧的花纹显出少女的心灵手巧。 Zhong Li falls down on the small bed, buries the face by, truncates the shoulder tremor, the careful sobbing transmits. 钟黎扑倒在小床上,将脸埋在被中,削肩颤动不已,细细的抽泣声传来。 Xu Xian calls in a soft voice said: „Clock miss, bell miss!” 许仙轻声唤道:“钟姑娘,钟姑娘！” But Zhong Li still falls in the sorrow, did not have the response to the surrounding thing. 但钟黎兀自陷在悲痛之中,对周围的事物都没了反应。 Xu Xian pats her shoulder, Zhong Li responds suddenly, sits up the body to hold the quilt by the bed, some protection is looking at Xu Xian, the pear flower belt/bring rain and tearful eyes dim appearance are really I see still pity. 许仙轻轻拍拍她的肩膀,钟黎陡然反应过来,坐起身子抱着被子靠在床内,有些防备的望着许仙,梨花带雨、泪眼朦胧的样子真是我见犹怜。 Xu Xian touches the nose, at this time should say some „restraining your grief and accommodating change” words, actually only fluent: „Clock miss, you really does not use extremely sadly, although your Elder Brother seemed like died, but actually cannot be dies.” 许仙摸摸鼻子,这时候本该说些“节哀顺变”的话,却只能道:“钟姑娘,你真的不用太过伤心,你哥哥虽然看起来是死了,但其实又不能算是死了。” Zhong Li said: „Young Master Xu, you told me, my brother how?” 钟黎道:“许公子,你告诉我,我哥哥到底怎么样了？” Xu Xian said: „Your Elder Brother became the ghost.” 许仙道:“你哥哥是变成了鬼。” That has not died! Zhong Li bites the lip, the tears is falling. „Young Master Xu, the this solitary one male widow coexists one room, is not quite convenient, please go out!” 那还不是死了！钟黎咬着嘴唇,眼泪又掉了下来。“许公子,孤男寡女共处一室,不太方便,请你出去吧！” Under the Xu Xian heart smiles bitterly, somewhat blamed regarding Zhong Kui, looked at your one „good big brother” the appearance, how does not know that first came back to have a look at your younger sister. Only can explain reluctantly: „Your Elder Brother Zhong Kui is the god of literature is reincarnated, after dying , the hero soul is not loose, so long as cultivation, is the members of the Hanlin Academy slightly, was consecrated by ten thousand people of incense and candles. I have seen his soul in Capital City, he said that must first return to Mt. Zhongnanshan, but does not know why has not arrived!” 许仙心下苦笑不已,对于钟馗也有些责怪,看你一副“好大哥”的模样,怎么不知道先回来看看你妹妹。只能勉强解释道:“你哥哥钟馗乃是奎星转世,死后英灵不散,只要稍加修行,即可位列仙班,受万人香火供奉。我在京城中见过他魂魄,他说要先回终南山来,但不知道为何还没有到！” Zhong Li shakes the head, expressed that is completely incomprehensible, and is looking at Xu Xian with a strange look. 钟黎摇摇头,表示完全不能理解,且用一种诡异的眼神望着许仙。 Xu Xian can understand her mood, if oneself experience this matter, some exuberant fellows said like this, he will have to begin probably ***. But how regardless of he explained, without Zhong Kui's on the scene, being hard makes her approve from the heart after all. 许仙很能理解她的心情,要是自己遇到这种事,有个神神道道的家伙这样说,他大概会有动手的***。但无论他怎么解释,没有钟馗的在场,终归难以让她从心中认同。 Xu Xian places on both hands her shoulder, is looking at her eyes, earnest say/way: „I want you to understand, your Elder Brother now good very much, has no need to be sad for him. When he came back you to understand, did you believe me?” 许仙将双手放在她的肩膀上,望着她的双眼,认真的道:“我只是要你明白,你哥哥现在好的很,根本用不着替他伤心。等到他回来你就明白了,你相信我吗？” Zhong Li is looking at the Xu Xian sincere look, nod cannot help but, some can understand the words meaning that suddenly Xu Xian said that understands suddenly he is worried about himself. 钟黎望着许仙真诚的眼神,不由自主的点点头,忽然之间有些能够理解许仙所说的话的含义,忽然之间明白他是在担心自己。 In the Xu Xian heart also is really satisfied , so long as sincerely expressed own idea, others were can certainly understand. 许仙心中也甚为满意,果然,只要真诚的表达自己的想法,别人是一定能够理解的。 „Young Master Xu.” “许公子。” „Un?” “嗯？” Zhong Li should not be excessive, blushes to rise the peach cheek, „asked you to move away the hand?” 钟黎别过头,一丝红晕升上桃腮,“请你拿开手好吗？” „Husband, when you...... you......” originally do not know, Yun Yan has ridden her pony to rush, is looking at this Zhong Li from out of the window whole face surprisedly holds the quilt to shrink on the bed, the Xu Xian body leans forward, both hands place her shoulder. Those images and scenes, how can think. “夫君,你……你们……”原来不知何时,云嫣已经骑着她的小马赶到,正从窗外满脸惊讶望着这一幕-钟黎抱着被子缩在床上,许仙身子前倾,双手放在她的肩膀。此情此景,怎能不让人心有所想。 Xu Xian loosens the hand hastily, coughs lightly two said: „Beautiful, you misunderstood!” 许仙连忙松开手,轻咳两声道:“嫣儿,你误会了！” Zhong Li then such as the frightened fawn jumps down the bed, hides another corner of room. 钟黎便如受惊的小鹿跳下床,躲到屋子的另一角。 „My also anything has not said!” “我还什么都没说呢！”
