Chapter 15 Awakening (1)
The battle between Pu Zixuan and werewolf took place on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. Just as the fierce battle between people and demons was in full swing, the dark clouds of war on earth also deeply enveloped the small town of Lijiang. The Qing army led by Cen Yuying successively recaptured Chuxiong, Dayao, Yongbei, Dengchuan, Binchuan, Langqiong and other places, and pressed forward step by step towards Lijiang.
The situation was critical, so Pu Zixuan made a decision: when the dawn of the New Year comes, he will not stay in this dangerous ancient city anymore. His father has been missing for so many years, and it is just the time to search for it.
Pu Zixuan judged that before the Qing army arrived in Lijiang, he would still seize Zhaozhou, Heqing and other cities. Even if it went smoothly, he would not be able to reach Lijiang in less than ten days and half a month. Therefore, he planned to live up to this last wonderful time and prepare to play from the New Year to the Lantern Festival before leaving.
Zhu Yuanliang and Pu Zixuan were both orphans and spent the New Year together. During this period, Pu Zixuan advised Zhu Yuanliang to go on the road more than once. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanliang always said that he had finally waited for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. As long as the Qing army was in a big way, the Hui Muslim uprising army would definitely promote people who could fight from the ranks of constables to join the army on the front line. This was a great opportunity for him to become a regular soldier of the "Islamic country". A man would rather die on the battlefield than be a deserter, so he was unwilling to go looking for his father with Pu Zixuan.
On other issues, as long as Pu Zixuan threatens and temptations, Zhu Yuanliang will definitely follow him in the end, but on this issue, Zhu Yuanliang seems extremely pious, which makes Pu Zixuan feel a sense of powerlessness. Zhu Yuanliang is unwilling to walk with him, and Pu Zixuan is unwilling to help any regime do things, so he said, "Well, a good man dies on the battlefield, but a good man is also determined in all directions. Since we all have some unshakable beliefs, we don't have to force it. Just drink and talk, live up to the spring, and enjoy this last wonderful time together."
So, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two went to the tavern in the northern suburbs to soak, watching the buses of people rushing north with their families and their entourages. However, some people had already seen through life and death, holding the same ideas as them, and carrying the wind and sleeves of the moon in the impermanent fate. Therefore, there is still no lack of fireworks in the tavern. Since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a charming woman has been sitting at a wine table opposite the two, looking at them from time to time.
She recognized Pu Zixuan, and of course Pu Zixuan also recognized her - it was not someone else, it was Qiqi who was abandoned by Pu Zixuan many days ago. That day, Pu Zixuan hurt her with rude words, and the purpose was to break up with her. Now that I meet her by chance, Pu Zixuan only thinks she is a passerby and pretends not to see her.
Pu Zixuan only cares about remembering the bitterness and sweetness with Zhu Yuanliang. These days, the two have not talked about the vicissitudes of the world. Before the death knives of fate sounded, Zhu Yuanliang’s most concerned issue was just the romance and moon: "Pu Zixuan, tell me honestly, how many women have you lived to this day?"
Both of them were drunk, so naturally they had already opened up. Pu Zixuan suddenly became interested in summarizing his past, then pinched his fingers and calculated carefully, and asked, "Does the brothel woman count?"
Zhu Yuanliang said impatiently: "Everything is included, as long as you take off your pants."
Pu Zixuan told him a number: "About sixty-five to seventy people."
Zhu Yuanliang sighed, "Oh, you slut, it's good to have money! It's not like me, I haven't even tasted what it feels like to kiss. Now, I'm twenty years old after the New Year. If I have any regrets I have lived for so many years, I'm missing a woman to warm up the quilt in the cold winter. One is enough. You have such a wide range of friends. Before you leave, can you introduce one to me?"
Pu Zixuan said, "How can that happen? I want to introduce you, but I can't introduce what I've played with, otherwise my lover will become a sister-in-law in the future. I'm so sorry for my brother!"
Zhu Yuanliang snorted: "I just found a woman to enjoy the joy under my crotch, but I didn't get married. Besides, Lijiang is so big that she has a bigger booster. I'm afraid that all women with good quality have been tested for you. How can I be beautiful and pure? I have no hope for a long time!"
"Okay." After hearing what he said, Pu Zixuan was drunk and thought of Qiqi immediately. He pointed to her seat and asked Zhu Yuanliang, "Did you see the woman in green over there?"
Zhu Yuanliang nodded slightly and said, "I saw it. She has been sitting here for three days. Why, have you tried it?"
Pu Zixuan whispered: "Yes, this woman is a married woman, but her life is really great. She and I have been together for more than a year. I forced me to get married some time ago. I was unhappy and threw her away. If you like it, you can take over."
Zhu Yuanliang shook his head: "Oh, this woman looks very good, I'm afraid she doesn't like me."
Pu Zixuan said angrily, "You are so passive, so you can't even talk to women. Look at her beautiful, do you know what life she lives? She was sold to an old man by her parents since she was a child. The old man liked to do whatever he wanted after drinking, but that thing just couldn't stand up. It was his own problem, but it was his own fault, but it was dependent on Qiqi and made Qiqi suffer a lot. Therefore, Qiqi has long wanted to marry someone else, but unfortunately she met me, and there was no way! In my opinion, you, a giant man like you, who is big and thick, just satisfy her empty body and soul."
Zhu Yuanliang seemed to be moved, so he kept peeking at Qiqi with his eyes, afraid that he had already started to practice accomplicity with her in his mind. Pu Zixuan was afraid that Qiqi would find out, so he whispered: "Don't always look at her!"
Unexpectedly, Qiqi couldn't help but stand up, walked towards the side with a wine glass, and came to the table of the two. Without waiting for the two to open their mouths, she sat down on the empty bench and said as if she pretended to be: "Oh, who do I think I am? It turned out to be Dandao and Zhu Xianfeng. Why, what kind of wind has been blowing recently? Is there any leisure to go to this broken tavern to waste my time?"
Zhu Yuanliang swallowed: "Ah? Do you know me?"
Qiqi smiled and said, "'Captain Lianglu, take the lead and wish the pioneer'. You protect the safety of Lijiang, who doesn't know the common people? I am lucky to meet today. I respect the little girl." After saying that, she dries the wine in her hand and shows her heroic spirit.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanliang also drank a big cup with pleasure and said, "I am lucky to be happy to be happy to be happy to be happy to be happy to be happy to be happy to be happy to be sincere. I must devote myself to my whole life and die."
Seeing that the two of them had the intention of cooperating, Pu Zixuan saw that the two of them had the intention of cooperating, but Zhu Yuanliang's conversation was so official, and he looked like a fool who was confused about the charm, so he helped him match and said, "Fatty, this beauty is called Qiqi...uh...what is the full name, I can't remember it. Qiqi, this Zhu Xianfeng, is my brother. I have known him too much since I was a child. Not only do they understand the righteousness, but they are also a romantic and talented man who loves his wife and son. Now they just want to find a woman to be their company. I wonder if Qiqi has any intention?"
"Haha." Qiqi sneered, "Dandel, you know that the little girl has already made a vow to remarry you. If you don't like it, why should you push me to others when the little girl speaks frankly?"
Pu Zixuan sighed and said, "I'm so sorry, it was me that day..."
Pu Zixuan actually didn't expect how to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, Qiqi interrupted and said, "Forget it, I've figured it out when I go back. Dandouzi was considering the feelings of the little girl and couldn't bear to see me suffer the pain of longing for love every day, so he cruelly cut off my thoughts. Now Lijiang is a place covered by smoke, and no one can guarantee that he can see the sun tomorrow. Why bother with the long love of his children? Dandouzi, the little girl can meet you in this life, and is deeply favored by God. All you have left in my heart is gratitude, nothing else. Please bow to the little girl." After that, he bent down gently at Pu Zixuan.
Seeing that she was so reasonable, Pu Zixuan suddenly felt enlightened, so he immediately helped her stand up and sighed: "When you are leaving, you can get Qiqi's forgiveness. I, Pu Zixuan, have no regrets anymore! Come on, let's have a good time today, I will pay the bill, and I will not return without getting drunk!"
When Qiqi heard this, she asked uneasy: "Where are you going?"
Pu Zixuan said: "After the Lantern Festival, I will leave Lijiang and go to find my father."
When Qiqi heard this, tears suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes: "Pu Zixuan, if we part today, it will be difficult for us to meet again. I... I just want to ask you one thing."
She called Pu Zixuan's name directly, which made Pu Zixuan feel a sense of intimacy and said, "Apart from marrying you, killing people, and other things, I will go to the knife mountain and the oil pan, and I will do everything for you!"
Qiqi hurriedly covered Pu Zixuan's mouth with her fingers and said gently: "Look at what you said, I don't want you to marry me, nor do you want you to kill people, and you don't want you to go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pan. But, Pu Zixuan, do you think I really want to give up on you? In fact, since you said those words to me that day, I returned home and couldn't sleep and eat, and even dreamed full of your shadow. I am like the moth that is blowing into the fire. I know that what is waiting for me is a tragedy, but I still love you hopelessly... I, as long as I can sleep with you again, I will never bother you. In the future, no matter you go to the ends of the world, I will not bother you, okay? Again..."
Zhu Yuanliang's face turned pale when he listened, but Pu Zixuan was overjoyed and said without saying a word: "Okay, I promise you. It's getting late, so let's go to my house now."
Qiqi said shyly: "I don't want to go. I will end wherever I want to start. We started in the woods in Yanwuba and ended there, okay?"
The tavern is in the northern suburbs, and the Wuba is in the eastern suburbs, which is not far away. Pu Zixuan burped and said, "I'm sorry, Fatty, it's not that I want to win people's love, I want to be a beauty of adulthood, but this infatuated woman only recognizes me, I... I'll go back, you'll be happy and you'll remember the money for wine in my name."
Seeing Zhu Yuanliang shook his head alone and sighing, Pu Zixuan felt a little reluctant, but that was it. Once he became lustful, he didn't care about anything else. He thought that at worst, he would go home and apologize slowly to his brother.
