lying down

The moonlight is bright, and the wind is cold.Fingernail-sized snowflakes covered everything in Jinyang City layer upon layer.

The North Street in front of Guiyun Building is still crowded and lively, while the courtyard behind the building is quiet and quiet.

As soon as they entered the main hall of the courtyard, the four braziers were burning vigorously. The whole family found their seats and sipped tea while listening to Ouyang's dictation of what happened since he left Jinyang City and returned today.

Hearing the bloody fighting scene in the first battle of Dashibao, all the hearts are surging; when hearing Ouyang Yu's arrow shooting, he can't help cheering; when he hears Ouyang leading away the enemy cavalry and fighting against the second ugly, he is frightened; waiting to hear When he was seriously injured and comatose, he was rescued by the master, and then he clapped his hands and sighed when he was apprenticed to the master. When he finally fought with the wolves, the cliff warrior wolf king and Qin Feng made a timely move. , may not come back alive.

"Little brother, waiting for an idle person may not have such a bizarre experience as you in a lifetime. I am afraid that if you encounter one of them, you will be in a situation where you will never be able to recover. You are really hard-fated, and you can save yourself from danger every time. It's just that your master's name is so strange. ..." At the end of Ge Ye's words, his eyes were full of memories, and he tried his best to search for information about this person in his mind.

"Hey, my master is really an expert in the world, and it's nothing new to have a strange name. It's my fate, otherwise... But I know little about other things about my master, and I have never I don't want to ask more questions." In Ouyang's heart, during the month of getting along with Master, he also had a lot of curiosity in his heart, but he buried it in his heart and didn't ask about it.

The old lady listened in amazement: "My son has met a good master, this is your fate! Why bother to investigate further, Zao Kong asked your master to come and live here for a while, so as to show filial piety."

Ouyang stood up and agreed, and did not return to his seat after speaking. He looked at the crowd with a smile, and finally set his eyes on Qin Feng, and said without thinking: "Brother Qin, today I will fulfill my original promise."

Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment, and after careful thought, he understood what Ouyang was referring to.His face was reddish, showing excitement.

Everyone looked at what the two of them said and did, as if they were playing a charade.I wondered in my heart what kind of new tricks this brat was going to do.

Ouyang wore a full corset, put away his playful look, and looked solemn.After concentrating for a moment, he said slowly: "I think I met Seventh Brother in Panshan Po Temple, and then successively met Fifth Brother, Geye Brother, and Zhang Brother's three elder brothers and brothers. I have always had an idea in my heart." He paused when he said this, and bowed to all the elders present.

Everyone saw what he said and did, and they all knew that they had to say the right thing.However, his curiosity was aroused by his words "I have an idea", and they all waited for the next sentence with their ears closed.

Ouyang continued: "In the vast sea of ​​people, how many people do you know? If an ordinary person is from birth to death, he just knows his neighbors, schoolmates, friends and relatives, and the number of people who add up to thousands is the tip of the iceberg. The population of my Tang Dynasty is nearly tens of millions. Today, the eight of us brothers can gather together, that is the favor of God, and it is also a blessing from our previous life. If we live in a hurry, it is a kind of extravagant waste. The value of life does not lie in the beginning and the end of life, but in the splendor between the beginning and the end. I am itchy in the Tang Dynasty, and it has only been two years since the new emperor became a great treasure. How can we sit and watch the years go by? Fifth Brother The biggest one is only in his early thirties, so why don't we make a name for himself with such a lot of time? As the saying goes: "Father and son soldiers, brothers who fight tigers", if I go alone, it will be less A lot of excitement, but a lot of people are missing to share the joys and sorrows.”

He paused slightly and looked around the hall.

All the brothers present here are already a little restless, a little bit excited.Even the old lady and the two sisters-in-law who were listening at the side showed signs of excitement.

Wulang couldn't bear his temper, pulled the collar of his robe a little, and asked anxiously: "I said eighth brother, but you said it out loudly, which made my brother panic, and my heart was disturbed by your few words. Jump really fast!"

Ouyang smiled knowingly, less solemn, more sincere, stood in the middle of the hall and continued: "All the brothers have a lot of friendship with me. Today, at this time, I would like to form a friendship with all the brothers in Jinlan, and work together with you. We live and die together, we share fortune and misfortune!" The last few words came out, but each word was sonorous.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and instantly rejoiced!

Wu Lang slapped the table, and shouted: "It should be so! Your boy's words made me feel like a cloud, and I was very itchy. I love to hear the last sentence! Brother Wu agrees!"

The crowd couldn't sit still any longer, they gathered around each other, holding arms and shoulders, as excited as children.

While he was enjoying himself, he saw Qin Feng walk up to the old lady and knelt down, saying in his mouth: "Since I have become brothers with Ouyang, there is no reason not to worship my stepmother, stepmother is here, please accept my child's worship! "After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times, without any delay.

The old lady suddenly stood up, she couldn't speak, she was so happy that she couldn't speak.

Several brothers in the hall saw it, and Qi Qi went to the old lady and knelt down and kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "God-mother (mother) is on the top, please accept the child's worship!"

This time, the old lady was so excited that tears flowed from the corners of her eyes like a spring, she choked up and said, "Okay! Okay! I don't want to, I don't want to be so blessed as a dying old woman." Get up quickly, children, and hope that you will stand upright and make great achievements!" As soon as the words fell, they covered their mouths and cried out, while Chu Xiang and Yun Niang on both sides were already pear blossoms and raining... ...

Joy and pride filled the hall. Ouyang slapped his head and ran out without saying a word. It was not time for a cup of tea. When he came back, he held a jar of old wine in his left hand and a bamboo basket in his right. thing.

"Brothers, choosing a day is worse than hitting it. We don't choose any auspicious days and times, and we don't place any sacrifices. Sworn worship is a knot in the heart, not a formality, so let's avoid many etiquettes, how about it?"

All the brothers are sincerely sworn brothers, so they naturally agree.Arranged in order of seniority, Goro, Qilang, Ge Ye, Pan Jiang, Zhao Danyang, Song Jingang, Qin Feng from the left, and the last one is Ouyang.Starting from Wulang, each person offered a stick of incense, and then took a sip with the sea bowl in his hand, splashing the hops, then respected the heaven and the earth, and followed Wulang in his mouth, saying: "The emperor is above, and the thick soil is the proof. Today, my eight brothers are united. Jinlan, don’t want to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month! Life and death depend on each other, good and bad times help each other; fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and adversity supports each other!” …

This worship, the spring breeze is proud to meet a close friend, to serve the country's security, to be generous, to make contributions and to show off talents.This obeisance, loyalty to the liver, righteousness and courage, adversity and adversity, vows not to distinguish, the world, the sun and the moon are strong!
