Chapter 1 The north wind is like a knife

"Count the marriage, count the good and bad luck, marry and take the marriage, break the ground after entering the house..."

The north wind is like a knife, rolling up snow all over the sky, burying the sand and dust that has accumulated on the loess street for many years.

The girl in a small sheepskin jacket sat alone outside the teahouse, shouting for the call to attract customers. Behind her was an old woman who was cooking in the fire.

In front of the girl was a square table with a gossip chart, and a bucket of bamboo sticks were placed on it.

There are 108 signs, 106 tops, one top, one top, one top.

Such a decoration is definitely not accurate, but people who pass by on weekdays will still count it as a cheat.

Because this is the case in the world, you have to be cautious a hundred times, but you only need to kill the streets with one knife.

The girl had an iron spear behind her back and a fortune-telling flag hanging on it, and she didn't look like a Taoist priest.

But it is not uncommon in this place at all. The kiln sister in the opposite side also has a dagger tied to her legs, and the waiter in the tavern next to her also has a scimitar behind her waist.

On this street, you can't survive without a knife.

This street is very prosperous, so prosperous that people pass by the street day and night all year round.

This street is also very dilapidated, and it is so dilapidated that the boundless desert wastelands are bounded by wind and sand on both sides.

There are horse bandits, prostitutes, merchants, spies on the streets. There are all kinds of people who can think of them, but there is no ordinary person.

Because this place is called Qiufeng Town, Mobei is a wild land in the world, and Qiufeng Town is a wild land in Mobei.

Ordinary people don’t come here, and even if anyone comes, most of them are buried under the wind, snow and sand outside the street.

"Count the marriage, count the good and bad luck, marry and take the marriage, break the ground after entering the house..."

A clear voice, sometimes far and sometimes near in the wind and snow.

A young man walked towards the intersection of the north.

The people hiding in the fences seemed to smell the bloody group of wolves in the desert. Countless eyes penetrated the wind and snow and landed on the young people, causing the long street to be quieter.

The young man was wearing a straw raincoat to cover the wind and snow, and the hilt of the knife and horse leather scabbard were exposed under the straw raincoat.

The handle of the knife that was originally wrapped in white ropes looked black and shiny, just like a black rag stained with wine, meat and oil on the shop's second hand.

People on the street could see that it was a stain, but not an oil stain, but a blood stain.

I don’t know how long it took, how many people’s blood was stained.

After a brief look, the street returned to its noisy appearance, as if it was just an ordinary town on the northern border of the desert, without any murderous intent.

The young swordsman was unhappy and walked very lightly, almost without traces of snow. He glanced on the street and saw the girl outside the tea shop first.

The girl was so eye-catching. She had a clean sheepskin jacket, two small braids on her head, and two furry hand cages on her hands, covering her face that was a little red from the cold.

Compared with the others on this street, it was like a little girl next door who was casually wandering, sitting among the hungry group of wolves.

She shouldn't have appeared here!

But it has appeared, which means she is more dangerous than the wolves around her.

The young swordsman picked up his hat, came to the teahouse, covered the handle with a straw raincoat, and sat down opposite the table:

"Miss can tell fortunes?"

"meeting!"

When the girl saw the guest coming, she pulled out the warm hands from the cage and picked up the tag on the table.

His hands are very beautiful and his five fingers are slender, which is a good seedling for holding weapons.

But there are calluses on the palm of your hand, which means that the newcomer who has just grasped the weapon has not yet come out of the mountain.

The young swordsman looked down at his palm. His five fingers were also slender, and he had calluses before, but he had held the knife for too long and now he has disappeared.

The young swordsman lost his interest in making friends with martial arts, and no longer looked at the girl's hand, but looked at the sign on the table:

"What do you call a girl?"

The girl pushed the sign in front of the knifeman and habitually swayed her calves:

"left."

The young swordsman looked to the left, and there was nothing else in front of him except for the endless wind and snow. He turned around.

"I said my name is left, not letting you look at the left."

The girl explained seriously and continued to ask: "What do you think of as a guest?"

The young swordsman thought about it carefully. He never believed in Yin and Yang divination, but only believed in the sword in his hand. The people in the Mobei Wasteland were like this. He came over and just wanted to find a different person to chat.

"Or what do I want to count on the left?"

The left looked at it seriously and said seriously:

"The guest official is not old and handsome. He must be lonely when he comes out alone on the snowy day. From my perspective, the guest official wants to calculate the marriage, right?"

The young swordsman smiled, smiling very sunny, but his natural willow eyebrows made this face a little feminine. He nodded:

"That's about marriage."

As he said that, the young swordsman picked up the bamboo tube with one hand and swayed it twice. A bamboo stick fell on the table.

Looking down from the left, the four lines of small characters were written on it:

When the trees are declining, when the spring is young, when the boat is alone, when the wind is strong, there is no place to hold on, everything will not be successful.

Let's sign.

He frowned on his left and looked at the young swordsman opposite him with a little dissatisfaction:

"You guys want to break up the situation, don't you? You signed one hundred and six points. You deliberately shook this point out and asked me to unblock it for you? I haven't learned it..."

In the tea shop behind him, the old woman who was cooking tea next to the stove shook her head and smiled:

"On the left, be more polite to the guests, it's fierce. Who will tell you fortune in the future?"

He said 'oh' on the left, put the bamboo stick back, and pushed it to the swordsman:

"It didn't count just now, please shake it again."

The young swordsman looked at the bamboo stick in the signboard and did not say another word. He took out five copper coins from his arms, placed them on the table, stood up and walked towards the other end of the long street.

The left called twice, but the swordsman did not look back. Seeing the other party walking away, the left could only stand up and said loudly:

"I'm not sure about fortune telling at all. If you cheat, it's even less accurate. If something happens, don't count it on me."

The young swordsman did not respond and left the long street lightly, just as he was when he came.

The left side wanted to chase him out and returned the copper coins to the swordsman, but the old woman next to the stove waved:

"Come back, the path you choose is better than the one you are destined to be."

He stopped on the left, looked at the copper coins in his hand, and returned to the tea shop with some displeasure, sat down next to the stove, and complained:

"It's just opened today, so it's a bad sign, it's so unlucky. People are asking for peace of mind, but he's fine. He deliberately makes it uncomfortable for himself. Grandma, what do you think he's trying to do?"

The old woman was very old and her face was full of wrinkles, but from her bones, she could still vaguely see her charming appearance when she was young. She shook her head:

"You are still young and don't understand the word "love". Sometimes you feel ashamed and let go of your hands. It's better than being stubborn and unable to let go of the ending. He shook a sign for himself, which means he felt that there was no chance in his heart. If you deliberately shook a sign for the top, it would be a deception."

I blinked my eyes on the left, and I was really confused about the reason for this, but she didn't agree with the old woman's words in front:

"Grandma, I will be fifteen after the New Year. If I were in our Central Plains, I could have children. My mother gave birth to me at the fifteenth and sixteenth place. Where is it young?"

The old woman looked doting: "Okay, it's not a young girl anymore. She has lived in Northern Qi for several years. Your mother is here, and she is still thinking about the Central Plains?"

He took the five copper coins he had just obtained, bought a string of candied haws on the street, returned to the stove to sit down, licked happily, and said with a smile:

"The Central Plains is so good. The most delicious candied haws in the world are in Chang'an, which is much better than the candied haws here. The master said that Nanyue surrendered without a fight. Dongyue's emperor was anxious and was preparing to form an alliance with us. If the two families join forces, they will be able to go to Chang'an soon, and then take grandma over and take a look."

The old woman shook her head and smiled, as if she didn't want to talk about these things and didn't say anything.

After licking the candied haws on the left for a moment, she found that the old woman's eyes were always in the direction of the young swordsman's departure. She looked back:

"Grandma, what's wrong? There's something wrong with that swordsman?"

The old woman asked, "His he really touched the problem just now?"

The left thought for a while: "Of course, he has a very high martial arts skills, and I can't even see the depth. He must have deliberately shaken a sign and teased me. There are more than one sign and only one sign. How can he shake it out once?"

The old woman was silent, looked at the direction where the young swordsman left, and sighed softly...
