Chapter 52 第52章 Spring Wind Pavilion, old Chao Xiaoshu 春风亭,老朝小树 The Ning Que ornamental cloth hung over a doorway looks to him, asked: „To kill people kills, what does the pestle make in my shop entrance?” 宁缺仰脸看向他,问道:“想杀人就去杀吧,杵在我铺子门口做什么？” The middle-aged man should say: „I stopped and other rain , and other people.” 中年男子应道:“我在等雨停,也在等几个人。” „And other rain stopped often the rain cannot stop, when the person comes time often the person will not come.” The Ning Que good intention urged. “等雨停的时候往往雨不会停,等人来的时候往往人不会来。”宁缺好心劝道。 „Person not the truth that comes definitely unable to have.” The middle-aged man smiles saying: „Can let me and you chats two quite serious earnest words, but isn't these Monk tries to search likely generally?” “人不来肯定是有不来的道理。”中年男子微笑说道:“不过能不能让我和你聊两句比较严肃认真的话,而不是像那些苦行僧一般试来探去？” „This manner was right, I do not like performing in Unsan-ri rove.” Ning Que replied with a smile: „I do not like squatting in the ground and is standing the person speech, because has the disparity highly.” “这个态度就对了,我也不喜欢尽在云山里转来转去。”宁缺笑着回答道:“不过我不喜欢蹲在地上和站着的人说话,因为高度有差距。” „You can stand.” “你可以站起来。” „Why is not you squats.” “为什么不是你蹲下来。” The middle-aged man smiled, not having the least bit to squat hesitant directly, the wet clothes skirt-width has blocked from the threshold of old pen room. Then he looks that Ning Que still brings the shy face to say earnestly: „I have enough to do now.” 中年男子笑一笑,没有半点犹豫直接蹲了下来,湿漉漉的青衫下摆遮住了老笔斋的门槛。然后他看着宁缺犹带青涩的脸认真地说道:“我现在很吃力。” Ning Que lowers the head to eat the noddles, is waiting for as follows. 宁缺低头吃面,等着下文。 „Many great people want me to take a stand, but my present situation cannot take a stand, therefore I am being besieged now, I and my brothers work am very clean, if the government authorities govern my crime not to be convenient with Law of the Tang, therefore they decide to destroy completely me tonight directly, while this night rain, the matches in South City Western city has welled up.” “很多大人物想要我表态,但我现在的情况是不能表态,所以我现在正在被围攻,我和我的兄弟们做事很干净,官府若要用唐律治我罪不方便,所以他们决定今天晚上直接把我灭掉,趁着这场夜雨,南城西城的对手都已经涌了过来。” „You and other these people?” “你等的那些人呢？” „I had brothers dead in the past few days, the remaining brothers had the assignment in the government authorities majority, these great people then can be stranded them with the assignment in the military compound and yamen very much easily, therefore my person was few tonight.” “我有一个兄弟前些天死了,剩下的兄弟大部分都在官府里有差事,那些大人物很轻易便能用差事把他们困在军营和衙门里面,所以今夜我的人很少。” The night rain is still continuing, moreover as if there is bigger and bigger tendency, the middle-aged man and others the person looked that the appearance could not wait, but he as if does not care, but tranquil was briefing the current situation temperately, has not done any conceals, then he looks at Ning Que, the smile said: „But all these are not issues, my tonight issue is, my side must have a person, but that person I could not find.” 夜雨依然在继续,而且似乎有越来越大的倾向,中年男子等的人看模样也是等不到了,但他似乎并不在意,只是平静温和讲着自己当前面临的情况,没有做任何掩饰,然后他看着身旁的宁缺,微笑说道:“但所有这些都不是问题,我今夜的问题在于,我的身边必须要有一个人,但那个人我找不到。” Ning Que looked at his waist bank that the saber, guessed that in that should be very small the sword, asks: „A your side need what person?” 宁缺看了一眼他腰畔的那把佩剑,猜测里面那把剑应该很小,问道:“你身边需要一个什么样的人？” „Suffices to suffice quickly ruthlessly brave enough, murder time cannot wink the eye, cannot make anything fall on me.” “够快够狠够勇,杀人的时候不能眨一下眼睛,不能让任何东西落在我身上。” „Excluding rain water?” “不包括雨水吧？” „Naturally not.” “自然不。” „That this request is not but actually high.” “那这个要求倒不高。” Ning Que flexure the hair of some moisture, said: „Why is I?” 宁缺挠了挠有些湿气的头发,说道:“为什么是我？” The vision of middle-aged man falls, in he carries on the right hand of bowl, said: „I inquired something. Although combs the Blue Lake chopping firewood person not to have any fame in Chang An City, specially the youth but who my very clear kills the mounted bandit can make anything.” 中年男子的目光落在他端碗的右手上,说道:“我打听到一些事情。虽然梳碧湖的砍柴人在长安城里没什么名气,但我很清楚一个专杀马贼的少年能做些什么。” The Ning Que silent moment, then smiled, said: „Why do I want to follow you? What advantage has?” 宁缺沉默片刻,然后笑了笑,说道:“我为什么要跟你走？有什么好处？” The middle-aged man appreciates the directness of youth very much, stretches out the finger to flick off the rain water on oiled paper umbrella, the smile said: „The entire Chang An City nobody knows my card in a hand, if tonight I have won, that card in a hand can lift, when the time comes you know that I really am a very thick thigh, is worth hugging to hug very much.” 中年男子很欣赏少年的直接,伸出手指弹掉油纸伞上的雨水,微笑说道:“整个长安城没有人知道我的底牌,今天晚上如果我赢了,那张底牌就能掀开来,到时候你就会知道,我真的是一根很粗的大腿,很值得你抱上一抱。” „Since is so dangerous tonight, why you don't play the first card in a hand?” “既然今夜这么危险,为什么你不把底牌先打出来？” „Because the card in a hand is not a sign, is a person. I am unable to order him, on the contrary he can order me, he needed me to win tonight this fight, because he wants to have a look in the hand of match to have conceal the sign.” “因为底牌不是一张牌,是一个人。我无法命令他,相反他能命令我,他需要我赢了今夜这场战斗,因为他想看看对手的手里有没有藏着牌。” „Good, I really somewhat tired to the dialog of this style have hated, I only want to say that your this thigh was very perhaps thick, but to my really not too strong attraction. Since you know that remote combing Blue Lake, you definitely know I once had the opportunity to grasp one seem like very thin, but in fact is one of the Great Tang thickest legs, but I have not gone to hug.” “好吧,我对这种风格的对话实在是有些厌憎了,我只想说你这根大腿或许很粗,但对我真没有太大吸引力。你既然知道遥远的梳碧湖,那你一定知道我曾经有机会抱住一根看似很细,但实际上是大唐最粗的腿之一,可我没有去抱。” Ning Que said naturally is Great Tang four princess Li Yu, said that these words he is once more silent, in the surface bowl the hand puts to the wet ground, squats with the middle-aged man is looking at the rain shoulder to shoulder, in this moment, he thinks some picture that in story suddenly some like very much, thinks of the transferring of small black mole in small hall, therefore has made the decision.( Note) 宁缺说的自然是大唐四公主李渔,说完这句话他再次沉默,把手中面碗搁到湿漉漉的地上,与中年男子蹲着并肩看雨,在这一刻,他忽然想到某个自己很喜欢的故事里的某一幅画面,想到小黑子在小馆里的交待,于是做出了决定。（注） After middle-aged man silent moment, said: „Or...... Are you familiar with the direct initial price?” 中年男子沉默片刻后说道:“或者……你习惯直接开价？” Ning Que was stretching out the palm to slap opposite party to the irritating rain water, said neatly: „500 two silver coin.” 宁缺对着恼人的雨水伸出手掌打了对方一个耳光,干净利落说道:“500两银子。” The middle-aged man is pressed the brow to suggest: „Were too few, adds again?” 中年男子蹙着眉头建议道:“太少了,是不是再加点儿？” The picture that by rainy night bookstore threshold, two people of bargaining somewhat is really strange, the Lord hired actually thinks money Taishao. 雨夜书铺门槛旁,二人讨价还价的画面着实有些诡异,主雇竟然觉得钱太少了。 Ning Que turns the head to visit him to ask: „You estimated how many people tonight I do want to kill?” 宁缺转头看着他问道:“你估计今天晚上我要杀多少人？” The middle-aged man thinks, said: „At least five.” 中年男子想了想后说道:“至少五个。” Ning Que replied: „On grassland, I kills five mounted bandits perhaps unable to obtain by search five two silver coin, therefore you could rest assured that for 500 two silver coin, I can go all out absolutely.” 宁缺回答道:“在草原上,我杀五个马贼说不定还搜不到五两银子,所以你放心,为了500两银子,我绝对可以拼命。” „I do not need you to go all out.” The middle-aged man smiles to look at him saying: „If to has needed to go all out, you can leave in advance.” “我不需要你拼命。”中年男子微笑望着他说道:“如果到了需要拼命的时候,你可以先行离开。” Ning Que shakes the head saying: „That is not the style that I work. Friendship gold/metal is firm truly is the words of very idiot, but since does business, naturally must observe the basic employed morals.” 宁缺摇头说道:“那不是我做事的风格。情义比金坚确实是句很白痴的话,但既然是做生意,当然要遵守基本的从业道德。” The middle-aged man smiles to put out a hand: „Deal.” 中年男子微笑伸出手来:“成交。” Ning Que puts out a hand to grasp with him gently then loosens, said: „my name is Ning, peaceful Ningxia. Ning Que.” 宁缺伸手和他轻轻一握然后松开,说道:“我姓宁,安宁的宁。宁缺。” „my name is toward, Great Tang Royal Court toward, Chao Xiaoshu.” “我姓朝,大唐朝的朝,朝小树。” „Good rampant surname, good gentle name.” “好嚣张的姓,好温柔的名。” „The Chang An people called me Spring Wind Pavilion always toward, you can call me Elder Brother Chao.” “长安人都叫我春风亭老朝,你可以叫我朝哥。” „Chao Xiaoshu is quite of pleasant to hear...... I said Xiaoshu, are you Fish Dragon Gang master?” “朝小树比较好听一些……我说小树啊,你就是鱼龙帮的帮主？” „You can call me always toward...... Moreover, I had not acknowledged are the Fish Dragon Gang master, I was only have gathered one group of brothers, does matter that some royal governments did not facilitate to handle.” “你可以叫我老朝……另外,我从来没有承认过自己是鱼龙帮的帮主,我只是集合了一群兄弟,做些朝廷不方便做的事情罢了。” Ning Que confirmed finally his status, the smile has patted his shoulder, said: „The master of Chang An first important goods so is modest, Xiaoshu, your this appeared too false.” 宁缺最终确认了他的身份,微笑拍了拍他的肩膀,说道:“长安第一大帮的帮主还这么谦虚,小树啊,你这就显得太虚伪了。” Pulls out that from the firewood pile the style ordinary blade, discovers that from the box the Huang Yang hardwood bow and quivering, picks up Big Black Umbrella layer upon layer to wrap with the rag from the coarse azure porcelain jar, then completely was in carrying on the back, then he has traced for quite a while bottom of the box, fished out one not to know how long has not washed black mask. 从柴堆里抽出那把样式普通的刀,从箱子里找出那把黄杨硬木弓和箭筒,从粗陋青瓷缸里拣起大黑伞用旧布层层包裹,然后全部系在了背上,接着他在箱子底部摸了半天,摸出一块不知多久没洗过的黑色口罩。 Puts on personal soft armor carefully, outside has wrapped the pressure bottom lunar new year short sleeve arrows robe, again is becomes the Moon Country person common style of hair dispersing, covers Zhang face with the black mask, Ning Que is looking at carefully for quite a while to the bronze mirror most probably carefully, confirmed that does not have what loophole, arrives at outside the kitchenette the probe head to say to inside: „I walked.” 仔细穿好贴身的软甲,外面套了件压箱底的旧年短袖箭袍,把头发散开重新系成月轮国人常见的样式,用黑色口罩遮住大半张脸,宁缺对着铜镜仔细端详半天,确认没有什么漏洞,走到小厨房外探头向里面说道:“我走了。” Sang Sang in tidying up the kitchen stove, washes to rinse the saucepans bowl and the writing brush and inkstone, on the small face does not have any expression, in Liu Xiban tall and slender pupil indistinct somewhat childish irritations, why does not know, the young maidservant puts the bowl to rinse the movement of pen to be very big today, once for a while sends out bang bang the dull thumping sound, the cleaning rag makes an effort to scratch the bottom of the pot to resemble to the blackened bottom of the pot scratch unexpectedly to put on. 桑桑在收拾厨灶,洗涮锅碗和笔砚,小脸上没有任何表情,柳细般细长的眸子里隐约有些孩子气的烦躁,不知道为什么,小侍女今天搁碗涮笔的动作很大,时不时发出砰砰闷响,抹布用力擦着锅底竟似要把黑糊糊的锅底擦穿。 Ning Que is startled, was clear, temperately explained: „Can make some silver coin to be always good, moreover I thought that fellow should have the background very much, to an opposite party favor, I will be also useful in the future.” 宁缺微怔,然后明白了一些,温和解释道:“能挣些银子总是好的,而且我看那家伙应该很有背景,给对方一个人情,将来我也用得上。” , Sang Sang layer on layer falls the cleaning rag to the stove along, carries the heavy iron saucepan from going to the sewage, the small girl waist turns but actually, is treats as unexpectedly has not seen this person, has not heard his explanation. 啪的一声,桑桑将抹布重重摔到灶沿上,端着沉重的铁锅自去倒脏水,小丫头腰身一扭,竟是当做没看见他这人,没听到他的解释。 Ning Que rubs the forehead that is pressed, after silent moment, said: „Small black mole that idiot lost a few words casually on the belch fart, I want to dodge do not have the means to run up to the ghostdom to look for him, then tonight is repays a debt for him.” 宁缺揉揉蹙起的眉心,沉默片刻后说道:“小黑子那个白痴随随便便丢了一句话就嗝屁,我就算想推托也没办法跑到冥界去找他,那么今夜算是替他还帐。” Said that this saying, he no longer pays attention to the small Sang Sang small mood, after leaving directly , the dwelling walks into the front shop. 说完这话,他不再理会小桑桑的小情绪,直接出了后宅走入前方的店铺。 The Spring Wind Pavilion old Royal Court as the Chang An first important goods Fish Dragon Gang master, fluttered on Jiang Hu for many years, does not know that has seen many outstandingly able person different races, he knows that the young boss in old pen room definitely was also one of the outstandingly able people, early had the mental preparation, but saw Ning Que this appearance at this time, still could not bear feel a surprise. He looks that Ning Que behind that velamen rags bind the thick stick mysterious matter, the forced smile said slightly: „Looked that your this appearance is not kills people likely, the reversed image owed the gambling debt to prepare at the same night the family whose fortunes are on the decline of running away family/home, is it possible that you planned that carried all family belongings on the body?” 春风亭老朝身为长安第一大帮鱼龙帮的帮主,在江湖上飘荡经年,不知见过多少奇人异类,他知道老笔斋的少年老板肯定也是奇人之一,早有思想准备,但此时看见宁缺这身打扮,依然忍不住感到一丝诧异。他看着宁缺身后那根被破布裹成粗棍子般的神秘物事,微微苦笑说道:“看你这身打扮不像是去杀人,倒像是欠了赌债准备连夜逃家的破落户,你莫非打算把所有家当都背在身上？” „I have only carried a blade, you are content.” “我只背了一把刀,你就知足吧。” Ning Que arrives at side him, looked in winds and rains near 40 lane, notes long lane two not to have the person's shadow, cannot bear knit the brows saying: „Hopes that in your brothers does not have the traitor within, hopes that your brothers can favor this lane, I do not hope that will turn into Szo in Chang An mansion with the picture that your wind whinny kills people tomorrow.” 宁缺走到他身旁,看了一眼临40巷里的风雨,注意到长巷两头并没有人影,忍不住皱眉说道:“希望你的兄弟里没内奸,希望你的兄弟们能把这条巷子看好,我可不希望跟着你风萧萧去杀人的画面明儿就变成长安府里的索图。” Spring Wind Pavilion always toward looking down one to block from the young Zhang face black mask, the smile said most probably: „Actually does not use so discretely, if your my two people had also been living tonight, then so long as from now on you will not offend Law of the Tang, will do all kinds of evil things, this Chang An City entire Great Tang Empire some people again do not even dare to ask you to trouble.” 春风亭老朝低头看了一眼遮住少年大半张脸的黑色口罩,微笑说道:“其实不用这般谨慎,如果过了今夜你我二人还活着,那么今后只要你不触犯唐律,为非作歹,这座长安城甚至整个大唐帝国都不会有人再敢来找你麻烦。” Listens to this saying, Ning Que to think that who said the Chang An first important goods behind do not have the background, however he has not taken off the mask to go to the frank murder the idea, the clear young sound was away from the black mask to pass: „I am familiar with the low key.” 听着这话,宁缺心想谁说长安第一大帮身后没有背景,然而他并没有摘下口罩去光明磊落杀人的想法,清稚的声音隔着黑色口罩透了出来:“我习惯低调。” Spring Wind Pavilion always toward smiling, no longer urged his anything. 春风亭老朝笑了笑,不再劝他什么。 Spring night lonesome and quiet morning was disturbed by lightly the noise of the rain, at this time were also many sound of footsteps, Ning Que went out of the threshold, Chao Xiaoshu opens seems like the oiled paper umbrella of broken wind, two people simultaneously lifted up the footsteps walk toward the dim light of night and rain. 春夜的幽静早被淅沥的雨声打扰,此时又多了脚步声,宁缺走出门槛,朝小树撑开看似破不禁风的油纸伞,二人同时抬动脚步向夜色与雨中走去。 Sang Sang flushed. She stands in the threshold, both hands are holding that heavy big iron saucepan, looks that on the table that bowl also remained many surface, looks in the wind and rain alley that back to shout anxious: „Young master, your surface had not finished eating!” 桑桑冲了出来。她站在门槛内,双手抱着那口沉重的大铁锅,看着桌上那碗还剩了很多的面,看着风雨小巷里那个背影焦虑喊道:“少爷,你面还没吃完！” Ning Que to turn round is looking at her with a smile, said: „First puts there, comes back to continue to eat.” 宁缺回头笑着望着她,说道:“先搁那儿吧,回来继续吃。” Sang Sang is holding the big iron saucepan, the thin and small shoulder closes right up against by the shop gate that the rain water moistens, shouts loudly: „Cold was not delicious!” 桑桑抱着大铁锅,瘦小的肩膀靠着被雨水打湿的铺门,大声喊道:“冷了不好吃！” Ning Que makes an effort to wave, replied with a smile loudly: „You boil a pot again, when I come back to eat.” 宁缺用力地挥了挥手,笑着大声回答道:“那你再煮一锅,等我回来吃。” Sang Sang tight sips the small mouth, is looking that he turns around to go, finally shouted the sound: „I put some minced green onions, the young master you must remember that eats!” 桑桑紧紧抿着小嘴,怔怔看着他转身而去,最后喊了声:“我多放些葱花儿,少爷你要记得回来吃！” Ning Que no longer replied that outside the black mask the happy expression in that pair of pupil on is getting more and more thick, looks at more and more black lane scenery, looks at more and more anxious fine rain, suddenly opens the mouth to ask: „Xiaoshu, do we go now?” 宁缺不再回答,黑色口罩外那双眸子里的笑意却上越来越浓,看着越来越黑的巷景,看着越来越急的雨丝,忽然开口问道:“小树啊,咱们现在去哪儿？” „Spring Wind Pavilion.” “春风亭。” Always toward calmly replied: „My family/home there...... Enemies also there, moreover I suggested that you called me for always toward, because you were Xiaoshu.” 老朝平静回答道:“我的家在那里……敌人也在那里,另外我还是建议你称我为老朝,因为你才是一颗小树。” In the lane the wind and rain as before, how does not know Spring Wind Pavilion that place. 巷中风雨依旧,不知春风亭那处如何。 ( Note: Wen Ruian «Said that Hero Who Is Heroic» Wang Xiaoshi Bai Choufei initially meets Su Meng to rest the head on.) （注:温瑞安《说英雄谁是英雄》王小石白愁飞初遇苏梦枕。）
