Chapter 124 deep valley 第124章幽谷 Xu Xian smiles, does not care, introduced that Zhong Li said: Just right that „you come! This is Zhong Kui's younger sister, the Zhong Li miss, you accompanied her to be good!” 许仙笑了一笑,也不在意,介绍身旁的钟黎道:“你来的正好！这位就是钟馗的妹妹,钟黎姑娘,你多陪陪她好了！” The side did not have the Zhong Li form, then looked, Zhong Li is hiding in the corner, is holding the arm, having a look at Xu Xian to have a look at Yun Yan again, some protection, somewhat feel helpless. 身边却没了钟黎的身影,回头一看,钟黎正躲在角落里,抱着手臂,看看许仙再看看云嫣,有些防备,更有些不知所措。 Xu Xian shakes the head, said to Zhong Li: „Zhong Li miss, this is my wife Yun Yan!” 许仙更是摇头,对钟黎道:“钟黎姑娘,这是我妻子云嫣！” Yun Yan casts off the veil, sweet smiles to Zhong Li, „younger sister Zhong Li!” This smile is actually from the heart, joining in the fun that rather than can confuse falsehood with the truth. Was called as the wife by Xu Xian before the bystander, always makes her „vanity” obtain small satisfaction. 云嫣摘掉面纱,冲钟黎甜甜一笑,“钟黎妹妹！”这笑容倒是发自内心,而非可以以假乱真的逢场作戏。被许仙在外人面前称作妻子,总是让她的“虚荣心”得到小小的满足。 Zhong Li also surprised in the Yun Yan appearance, that beautiful dimple, almost enables the person to look straight ahead. 钟黎也不禁惊讶于云嫣的容貌,那艳光四射的笑靥,几乎使人不能直视。 But must acknowledge, this couple have the affinity extremely. She lives in the ravine all the year round, the matter of purchasing almost by Zhong Kui going out ingredients, almost never sees what living person, at a young age also makes her regarding the protection heart of others especially heavier by the experience that the townspeople repels, the death of Zhong Kui is to make her like the frightened person. 但又不能不承认,这夫妻二人都是极有亲和力的。她长年在山间居住,采买之事几乎都由钟馗出外料理,几乎从不见什么生人,自小被镇民排斥的经历也让她对于旁人的防备心格外的重些,钟馗之死更是令她如惊弓之鸟。 But front these two somewhat seem different, let the person unloading protection cannot help but. Probably such, was just now built with the hand by a strange man in the shoulders, quite a while responded the situation , is almost somewhat inconceivable. Expression extremely sincere, movement nature extremely, when she responded, his both hands already there. 但面前这两人似乎有些不同,让人不由自主的卸下防备。像是方才那样,被一个陌生男子用手搭在双肩,半天才反应过来的情形,几乎有些不可思议。表情太过的真诚,动作太过的自然,等她反应过来时,他的双手已经在那里。 Yun Yan is sizing up graceful and vertical Zhong Li, has not gone forward to approach immediately. But exclaimed in surprise in the heart, „big of the world, every possible strange thing”. Although she has not seen Zhong Kui, what kind of also listens to Zhong Kui is fierce ugly. But such a fierce ugly Elder Brother, has such limpid beautiful younger sister. In the heart sighed „Pan eldest son secretly, whatever you were extremely intelligent, misjudged.” 云嫣打量着盈盈而立钟黎,并没有立刻上前凑近乎。而是在心中惊叹,“天下之大,无奇不有”。她虽没见过钟馗,也听过钟馗是如何如何的狰狞丑陋。而那样一个狰狞丑陋的哥哥,偏偏有这样清澈秀丽的妹妹。心中暗叹“潘大公子,任凭你聪明绝顶,还是失算了。” Zhong Li that but sees, the appearance of tears wet double pupil, remembers to leave depart from a long time Qing Luan, in the heart raises a tender sentiment, went forward to clean the tear stains on face with the hand for her, in the mouth did not say words that anything comforted. 但看到的钟黎,泪湿双眸的样子,不由想起别离许久的青鸾,心中不由升起一股怜惜之情,上前用手为她擦拭脸上的泪痕,口中却并不说什么安慰的话语。 Zhong Li feels helpless, does not know how should reject such good intentions. 钟黎就更加不知所措起来,不知该怎么拒绝这样的善意。 Xu Xian thought that at this time good not on the scene, Yun Yan with Zhong Li same is the daughter family/home, must be with good intention furthermore, speaks many that must facilitate, the county magistrate catches up also to need some times probably. In the morning from the Capital City time, has passed the high noon now, oneself do not matter, but Yun Yan thinks that is hungry, Zhong Li like not eating appearance. 许仙觉得这时候自己还是不在场的好,云嫣同钟黎一样都是女儿家,更兼得善解人意,说起话来比自己要方便的多,县令赶来大概还需要些时候。清晨自京城时候出发,如今已过了正午,自己无所谓,但云嫣想必已是饿了,钟黎也不像吃过的样子。 He then asked: „Where is kitchen at?” 他便问道:“厨房在哪？” Zhong Li is somewhat infatuated in the gentleness of Yun Yan, hears word aims at the west another small bamboo room hastily, although in heart curious, but many did not ask. 钟黎正有些陶醉在云嫣的温柔之中,闻言连忙指向西面的另一间小竹屋,虽然心中好奇,但也不好多问。 Xu Xian arrives at the kitchen, is the same crudeness, equally clean neat. Is even on the top is spotless, whoever family/home female has such a kitchen, her husband sufficiently was proud. 许仙走到厨房,也是一样的简陋,一样干净整洁。就是连灶台上都是一尘不染,无论谁家女子有这样一间厨房,她的丈夫就足以傲人了。 In the good kitchen does not lack the basic kitchen necessities, the rice flour in vat are not many, but can also cope with one. He does not know, when this is Zhong Kui kao being selected person the family/home capital of gaining. 还好厨房中不缺油盐酱醋,缸里的米面已经不多,但也能对付一顿了。他不知道,这还是钟馗考中举人时赚来的家资。 In the water jar had emptied, although Xu Xian has volume of steam to become water magecraft, but remembers the Agu spring of not far away, raised two buckets to walk toward the pond, prepares to be accepted after passing an examination several fish to prepare food while convenient. 只是水缸中已经空了,许仙虽有集汽成水的法术,但想起不远处的阿姑泉,就提起两只水桶朝池塘走去,准备顺便取上几尾鱼来做菜。 Zhong Li sees from the window, spoke to prevent hastily, said: „Young Master Xu!” 钟黎从窗口望见,连忙出言阻止,道:“许公子！” Yun Yan embraces her waist, said: „Makes him go!” 云嫣揽住她的腰身,道:“让他去吧！” Zhong Li fierce shakes the head, „is not good!” Out the half step goes out, seizes the bucket on Xu Xian, „Young Master Xu, making me come!” Suddenly had a thought own responsibility, he is elder brother's friend, oneself should entertain well is, „you come from far away, was certainly hungry, you sat a while to the room , my prepared food to you.” 钟黎猛个摇头,“不行啊！”快步走出门外,去夺许仙手上的水桶,“许公子,让我来吧！”忽然念起了自己的责任,他是哥哥的朋友,自己该好好招待才是,“你们远道而来,一定是饿了吧,你们到屋中坐一会儿吧,我这就给你做饭。” Xu Xian sees her obstinate appearance, not good to exchange flattery and favors with her, must give her a bucket. „You take this, I keep this to seize several fish to come back!” When ancient funeral rite wants the room to refrain meat, but does not avoid the fish meat, but avoids certain foods has pungent ozone food such as the scallion, garlic. 许仙见她执拗的样子,不好同她拉拉扯扯,只得将一只水桶交给她。“你拿着这个,我留着这个去捉几条鱼回来！”古人丧礼时要斋戒忌荤,但并非忌食鱼肉荤腥,而是忌食有辛味臭气的食物如葱、蒜等。 Also Xu Xian at this moment, without, will not be fastidious about these vulgar rituals when necessary. 再说此时此刻的许仙,在不必要的时候,更不会讲究这些俗礼。 Zhong Li remembers suddenly, except for that several old mother hens, in the family/home does not have any to entertain again their. She does not think Xu Xian such person can seize comes the fish. „I go to the town/subdues to buy something, arranges the liquor to come back again!” 钟黎才忽然想起,除了那几只老母鸡,家里再没有什么好招待他们的。她可不认为许仙这样的人能捉得来鱼。“我去镇里买些东西,再打点酒回来吧！” Xu Xian naturally is beckons with the hand the rejection. 许仙自然是摆手拒绝。 Yun Yan holds up the small hand, crisp say/way: „I light a fire to prepare food!” 云嫣举起小手,脆生生的道:“那我去生火做饭！” Xu Xian said: „You sit well do not add to the chaos were good, really idled, goes hanging in the pocket that ripe beef cut, do not steal food!” 许仙道:“你好好坐着别添乱就行了,实在闲得慌,就去把挂兜里那块熟牛肉切了,别偷吃啊！” Yun Yan sticks out one's tongue, small sound said: „Do not steal food! Otherwise must be blamed me not to favor you!” 云嫣吐吐舌头,小声道:“你才是别偷吃！不然又要被人怪我没看好你了！” Xu Xian stares, has not spoken with enough time, Yun Yan tender has hidden to return to the room with a smile. 许仙一瞪眼,还没来得及说话,云嫣已娇笑着躲回屋中。 Xu Xian turns the head saying: „Clock miss, we walks!” 许仙转头道:“钟姑娘,我们走吧！” Track of two people in the forests, the cool breeze move, the bamboo sound is dreary, day spot circulation. 二人穿过林间小道,清风一动,竹声萧然,日斑流转。 But two people of moods are actually different, looks like in Xu Xian, here is situated at the foot of a hill and beside a stream, the good place that the beautiful scenery, lives in seclusion actually, very some „to build a simple hut in the person boundary, but does not have the carriages and horses are noisy” ideal condition. 但二人的心情却是大不一样,在许仙看来,此处依山傍水,风景秀丽,倒是隐居的好地方,很有些“结庐在人境,而无车马喧”的意境。 Zhong Li is actually in the heart intimate, initially the whole family lived together in this, the impoverishment that even the day passes, can still get by cheerfully. Now only remains come all alone, in the future how does not know can also. 钟黎却是心中戚戚,当初一家人同居于此,就算日子过的清贫,也能欢快度日。如今只剩自己形单影只,不知将来还能怎样。 Xu Xian is perceived that her concern, sighed a sound said lightly: „The Zhong Li miss, you do not need extremely to worry. Although bell the brother does not know where to flutter, I also take certainly care of you for him well.” 许仙似是觉察到她的心事,轻叹一声道:“钟黎姑娘,你也不用太过忧心。钟兄虽不知飘荡到哪里,我也一定代他好好照顾你。” Such a lone and helpless female in such time, is very difficult to survive. But wants her to live in the ravine alone, Xu Xian cannot feel relieved. Sometimes beautiful appearance compared with gold and silver hiring worry, if comes a thief, that is really late to regret. 这样一个孤弱女子在这样的时代,是很难生存的。但要她独自居住在山间,许仙就绝不能放心。有时候美貌比金银更招人惦念,若是来个贼人,那就真是悔之晚矣。 The rejection of Zhong Li instinct said: „Thanks Young Master Xu to worry about, but...... does not need, I to take care of itself.” 钟黎本能的拒绝道:“谢谢许公子挂怀,但……还是不必了,我能够照顾自己。” Xu Xian said: „I will keep some days here, if your Elder Brother can come back, that is good. If cannot, I find the way to place your. This matter cannot come by your temper, if your Elder Brother will also certainly approve.” 许仙道:“我会在这里留些日子,若是你哥哥能够回来,那是再好不过。若是不能,我会想办法安置你的。这件事不能由着你的性子来,若是你哥哥在也一定会赞同的。” If Zhong Kui really does not turn over, asks somebody to deliver her to Capital City, is placed a dwelling by Pan Yu, is not a problem. However naturally, Zhong Kui can return that is good. 若是钟馗真的不归,就托人将她送至京城,由潘玉安置一处宅院,想必不成问题。不过当然,钟馗能够归来那是再好不过了。 The Zhong Li lip spoke haltingly, after all has not said anything again. She just experienced the dignity of side man, knows that is hard to disobey the meaning of this man. Only can pray in the heart silently: „Elder Brother, if you are really the hero soul, be please quick!” 钟黎嘴唇嗫嚅了一下,终归没有再说什么。她刚刚才见识了身边这个男人的威严,知道是自己难以违逆身边这个男人的意思的。只能在心中默默祈祷:“哥哥,若你真的是英灵尚在,请你快回来吧！” Two people have not spoken all the way again, Xu Xian cannot find out with this year light young girl has anything saying that the vision falls on her let alone. She tightens the body, hurries to place other place the look, the look on face is stubborn and pitiful. 一路上二人都没再说话,许仙是想不出和身边这年轻少女有什么好说的,更何况眼光一落在她身上。她就收紧身子,赶紧把眼神放在别的地方,脸上的神色又倔强又可怜。 Xu Xian does not know that this/should mentioned from where. 许仙更不知该从何说起了。 Is good is not far because of the distance, two people quick pass through the bamboo grove, arrives at Agu spring side. 好在路程不远,二人很快就穿过竹林,来到阿姑泉边。 A sunlight photo, scale glittering. 日光一照,鳞光闪烁。 The limpid pool of water inverted image the mountain color of deep valley, all around flowering shrubs are luxuriant, peony lily peaceful blooming in the inverted image of water. As if sighing woefully unmanned the loneliness of appreciation, seems like peaceful in the tranquility of this deep valley, is not willing to be disturbed by the bystander. 清澈的池水倒影着幽谷的山色,四周的花丛繁茂,牡丹百合安静的绽放在水的倒影中。仿佛在哀叹无人欣赏的寂寞,又似乎是安于这幽谷的宁静,不愿受到外人的打扰。 Only has the flower fragrance of dark pistil to disseminate with the sound that the spring water surges gently. 唯有暗蕊的花香随着泉水涌动的声音在轻轻传播。 Xu Xian asked: „This flower does not seem like the wild flower, is you plants?” 许仙问道:“这花不像是野花,是你种的吗？” Zhong Li hesitated slightly, the light point reaches first: „Yes.” She transplanted many flowers to come to cultivate devotedly, this was also in the life of young girl, rare entertainment. 钟黎稍稍犹豫了一下,轻点臻首道:“是。”她移栽了不少花过来悉心培植,这也是少女的生活中,难得的娱乐了。 Then skilled admits in the water to ladle water the bucket, obviously the first time is not did such matter, is only her physical strength is small, cannot be filled with the bucket, usually in must be filled with vat water, needs to spend many times, steps onto dozens that treeshady lane back and forth. 而后熟练的将水桶放进水中舀水,显然并非是第一次做这样的事,只是她的气力较小,不能将水桶盛满,平日里要将一缸水盛满,需要花费许多时候,将那段林荫小道走上几十个来回。 The jade white element grasps the ancient wooden barrel, the beautiful figure of cleaning up is producing an inverted image in Bishui, in the pool of water also has the bright blue sky and cotton wool white cloud, face and that slightly confused double pupil that lively being in full bloom and on the wane, the young girl cleans up. 玉白的素手持着古旧的木桶,清理的倩影倒映在碧水之中,池水中还有明蓝色的天空、絮白的云彩,还有繁华的盛开与凋零,还有少女清理的脸庞与那略显迷茫的双眸。 This unexpectedly is the unexpected quiet harmony, can be picturesque! 这一幕竟是出乎意料的宁谧和谐,可以入画！ Then draws is the static death thing, but those images and scenes are to actually move living, the wave is moving, flows the cloud , the spring breeze is moving, the flowers in blooming bit by bit, the eye pupil of young girl are also flowing, from time to time is sad, from time to time is confused, from time to time is apprehensive. Vertical is the skilled artist painting, fears is also hard to write down 1/10000 views at this moment. 然后画不过是静止的死物,而此情此景却是动的活的,水波在动,流云在动,春风在动,花朵也在一点一点的绽放,就连少女的眼眸也是流动着,时而忧伤,时而迷茫,时而惶惑。纵是妙手丹青,恐也难以写下此刻的万分之一的景致。 Those images and scenes, making Xu Xian have such idea, „whether should to come in this mountain valley to protect her, rather than takes away this deep valley her. Was worried that she like leaving soil flowers the dispirited is on the wane, but if here scenery were short of her, then is also the scenery.” 此情此景,让许仙不由生出这样的想法,“是否该让人来这山谷中保护她,而非是将她带离这幽谷。担心她会像离开土壤的花朵一样的萎靡凋零,而这里的景色若是少了她,便也不过是景色而已。” Xu Xian shakes the head, resembles to want this thought to fling, sighed one lightly, „the generation has the beautiful woman certainly, occupies in the spatial valley quiet.” Du Gongbu's poem does for this reason from time to time! If oneself have not listened to this poem, whether at this time will also explode not without reason, makes similar verse! 许仙摇摇头,似是想将这念头甩出去,却不由轻叹了一声,“绝代有佳人,幽居在空谷。”杜工部的诗就是为此时而做的吧！若是自己不曾听过这首诗,这时候是否也会有感而发,做出类似的诗句吧！ Zhong Li just about to puts out from the water in the bucket, hears this poem, in the heart trembles, that bucket on and falls toward the water, she makes an effort to raise hastily, was instead brought to lose balanced, declines to that pool of water. She closes the double pupil startled, waits for taste that falls in the water, an arm embraces in her waist, straightened up her body. 钟黎刚要将水桶自水中拿出,闻听此诗,心中一颤,那水桶就又往水中坠去,她连忙用力去提,却反被带失了平衡,向那池水中落去。她惊慌的闭上双眸,等待那落水的滋味,一只手臂揽在她的腰肢,扶正了她的身子。 „Plop”, the wooden barrel falls in the water, she opened the eye to see Xu Xian to be filled with the water to raise that bucket. “扑通”一声,木桶落在水中,她睁开眼睛见许仙正把那水桶盛满了水提上来。 Xu Xian said: „Careful!” 许仙道:“小心点！” Zhong Li complexion slightly red, nods saying: „Thanks!” Rejoiced that his hand had left the waist, that flash was touched the sensitive waist suddenly, made her some experience of being able to say. 钟黎脸色微红,点点头道:“谢谢！”庆幸他的手已经离开了腰身,那一瞬间被人陡然触碰敏感的腰身,还是令她有些说不出的体验。 Xu Xian said: „I seized the fish to go back!” 许仙道:“等我捉完鱼就回去！” Zhong Li visits that woof Qingche pool of water, as the saying goes „if water is too clean no fish can live in it”, in this pool of water, is difficult to see the trace of sea-monster, had a look at the side only to bring Xu Xian of wooden barrel, hesitant evil ways: „Young Master Xu, can you really seize the fish? Ok!” 钟黎望望身旁那汪清澈的池水,有道是“水至清则无鱼”,这池水中,也难看到游鱼的踪影,又看看身边只带了一个木桶的许仙,犹豫了一下道:“许公子,你真要捉鱼吗？还是算了吧！”
