There are many characters in "The Sword In the Snow", today, let's talk about a little brother who does not have a sustained sonic earthquake, but his story on the river and lake is a legend - Wen Hua.
My generation, are watching Jin Yong Gulong novels grow up, often in the middle of the night to support a small flashlight, hide in the bed to read, these novels are generally a thief thick, we look addicted, do not read, vow not to sleep.
After reading these novels, what is the hero in our minds? It must have been Yushu Linfeng, the merry-goer, lying down with thousands of young girls crying and shouting to marry her.
First of all, handsome is definitely handsome, relying on a handsome face to gallop the rivers and lakes, men and women and young people kill. Rich, that is not necessarily true, it is best to have a million family wealth, without us can also rob the rich to help the poor.
A good man, a good sword, a horse, this is the image of the "hero" in the secular sense, anyway, in front of the beloved woman, our "hero" cavity can definitely be installed. Unfortunately, this Wenhua Wen hero in our snow is like a chivalrous guest in addition to his name, and as for other places, it has nothing to do with the name of "big hero".
1. Is it a hero? Or is it a rogue in the city?
Huang Lian mixed pig bile, the poor life is the most miserable, Wen Hua, was born in a very, very poor family, with the standard life of the starting point male protagonist, but there is no starting point of the male protagonist's golden finger: his parents died early, living with his brother and sister-in-law. This sister-in-law is snobbish and mean, and 360 degrees all-round dislike of Wen Hua's little uncle. Wen Hua couldn't stand his sister-in-law's anger, so he ran away from home with a wooden sword and walked alone in the rivers and lakes.
Wen Hua vowed to be a hero, but he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to buy a good sword, so he could only take a wooden sword to walk the rivers and lakes, expecting to meet some high-ranking person to point out one day, teach one or two unique martial arts, and also be regarded as a young man in the middle two. Wen Hua not only did not have the equipment of the hero, but even the fan of the hero, Wen Hua's mouth was like a Thomas train, "whining (filth)" all day long.
For example, Wen Hua's classic line: "The steamed bun is white, but the girl's chest is white." The tip of the lotus is cocked, but the little girl's ass is not cocked. Listen, how unbearable, no wonder in the TV series, the screenwriter added a handful of defiled powder, changed to "steamed bun white, white but the girl's jade hand." The tip of the lotus is cocked, but the girl's eyebrows are not cocked. ”
Then again, although Wen Hua's life is not good, his mouth is not sweet, he looks bumpy, and he has no money, he is worthy of being selected by our general manager, and this ordinary middle two brother is destined to have an extraordinary life. Xu Fengnian traveled to Beiliang for the first time, and accidentally met Wen Hua in Guatian, and Wen Hua's fate gear was sharply stirred at that moment.
It is said that this Wen Hua and Xu Fengnian met for the first time, that is called a meeting and hate late, smelly ah, together did not do anything serious and urgent. Two adolescent boys hooked up with each other, and they had to do some things to steal chickens and dogs, such as stealing sweet potatoes in the field, touching fish and shrimp in the river, and picking up bird eggs on trees. "Food and clothing think of lust", the two like to go to the hook bar to see the girl, sing some vulgar little yellow songs together, Wen Hua even once hit the idea to Xu Fengnian's horse, wanting to use the suffering horse to deceive the girl.
And in this period of beautiful and pure days, Wen Hua, who has just entered the jianghu, has not yet realized the cruelty of the jianghu. In Wen Hua's eyes, the jianghu is nothing more than fine wine, brothers and americans. It is not that I have deceived the calculations of the millennium, not the quarrels and grudges of the rivers and lakes, not the invincibility of the world, but the fact that I Wenhua has a wooden sword to go to the end of the world, and it is my Wenhua and Xiaonian who drink together.
2. Brotherhood of squatting together
Therefore, this Wen Hua is a good friend that Xu Fengnian met when he first traveled to the rivers and lakes. But there was no feast in the world, Xu Fengnian returned to Northern Liang, and Wen Hua continued to roam the rivers and lakes.
However, the pair of good friends still have a good fate, and a few years later, Xu Fengnian met Wen Hua again on his second trip. At this time, Xu Fengnian restored his status as a son of the world, dressed in luxurious clothes, and already looked like a dog. But Wen Hua was still the same as before, his whole body was not worth more than a dozen yuan, and his feet were still the sackcloth shoes that had been sewn and repaired for three years.
It's like ten years after graduating from high school, on the street, I met a good brother who had previously counted down to the exam with himself, failed to be a girl, and was taught to call the parents, he was carrying a briefcase and was running around the humble daily life of the social animals, but the good brother who was once worth tens of millions, driving a Porsche, hugging a beautiful wife, this taste, just think about it, it feels bleak.
However, this Wenhua is not ordinary people. That day, he was sleeping in a pavilion and dreaming, and was coldly woken up by Xu Fengnian's kick. After waking up, Wen Hua just wiped the ha lazi from his mouth and shouted, "Surname Xu?" Then he directly punched and smashed into the chest of His Highness Jin Gui.
Eason Chan has a song called "Best Friend", which has such a sentence, "Friend, I will be your friend for a second." Friend, I'll be your friend for the rest of your life. This lyric is used on Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua, although it seems to be a bit pretentious, but it is quite appropriate.
When the frustrated Wen Hua saw Xu Fengnian, who was dressed in a Chinese costume and had his own male protagonist's radiance, his heart was not unworthy of Xiao Jiujiu, and he also slandered like this: "Xu Xiaozi is not really the third-rate magnate brother of Beiliang?" Yes, can this fox friend still be able to do it? ”
But even if there is a small knot in his heart, it will not affect his friendship with Xu Fengnian, a good brother who steals chickens and dogs. In Wen Hua's eyes, aside from the outfit on his body, Xu Fengnian is a "surnamed Xu", and the two are still the usual mode of getting along, drinking wine and eating meat together, and nagging women together. After eating and drinking, the two squatted in the grass by the lake.
Before the separation, Xu Fengnian wanted to take Wen Hua with him, and he also wanted to introduce the old sword god Li Chungang to Wen Hua, but Wen Hua just smiled and shook his head, "After all, it is someone else's sword, that is, others are willing to teach, and I can't learn it." ”
He said, the sword is my own, and I will go my own way. He also said that I have no habit of owing people. These few words made this seemingly ordinary little person suddenly have a bit of a loose backbone, and the whole character was elevated at once. No wonder some netizens sighed: "The distance between us and Wen Hua may be farther than the distance between us and Xu Fengnian." ”
Therefore, on the Yangliu Smoke Water Long Causeway, the wooden sword Wen Hua and the double knife Xu Fengnian high-fived once and passed by. Xu Fengnian stood on the other side of the river and watched a man walk across the long causeway with a pot and a wooden sword. On that day, the two went to their own different fates, Wen Hua met the woman he loved for the first time, Li Baishi, and also met the character who was about to change the trajectory of his life-Huang Longshi.
At this time, Wen Hua is still the dirty, slippery but ambitious little person. He worked as a small second in a teahouse, occasionally opening a small stove for himself, making bowls of scallion oil noodles, practicing the sword taught by Huang Longshi in his spare time, and following Huang Longshi into the capital to listen to his words to compare swords.
Wen Hua this person, all the way over the cold, has been thick-skinned, and with people to lose the sword to run, do not feel ashamed. I just want to practice a good sword and hold a beautiful person. Wen Hua in this period, the overall mentality is peaceful and happy, the small days, but also have struggles and dreams, live a very positive energy.
I don't know how to create people, and our father-in-chief has laid a big foreshadowing here. This ordinary-looking old man Huang personally took Wen Hua into the jianghu, but he also eventually forced Wenhua out of the jianghu.
3. Wen Hua never practiced his sword from then on
Wen Hua was in the capital, in fact, the total number of swords was compared four times, the first three times compared swords, one to one lost, and since then he has got a flower name that sounds like he is going to die - Wen Is invincible. Interestingly, although Wen Hua's appearance is not in the flow, and his business ability is not outstanding, he may be born with the comedian spirit of "can't fight and run", but it is black to the extreme is red, and the audience is good.
No, in a few days, he would have to compete with the PingtangXi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie, and Wen Hua felt an unprecedented anxiety. On the one hand, this person is red, and even the most calm people are somewhat duck pear mountain, on the other hand, it is because he promised his beloved woman to become the world's first famous swordsman, and then marry her home, or how to do it after repeated defeats, I Wenhua wants the world's first name, but it is not this kind of fame. So he borrowed a few pieces of silver from his friends, bought a new dress, and faced the battle with dignity.
Kung Fu paid off, Wen Hua and Lu Baijie this time played a draw, and since then they have become famous in the capital.
On the day of the completion of the sword, Wen Hua quietly looked at the goose feathers falling in the courtyard, thoughtful, and then took out the precious wooden sword that accompanied him to walk the rivers and lakes, and meticulously wrote down a "Fu" word in the snow, after writing, he couldn't help but chant the word that told him, the word "Fu" is clothing plus a mouthful of field, and food and clothing is the greatest blessing of the good brother - Xiao Nian.
The written word "Fu" gradually faded in the fluttering snow, and Wen Hua couldn't help but complain, saying that he had promised the old man Huang who taught himself to practice sword, help him kill a person, and then stop messing around behind his ass. He said that he planned to go back to his hometown with his beloved Aunt Li, his wife and children, and live a good life in peace. When he said this, Wen Hua's eyes lit up, burning with the expectation that the ideal would eventually shine into reality.
But will things really go as Wen Hua wishes? Let's set our sights on the yellow old man on the other side. This bad old man is very bad -- it turns out that he has already made a big deal out of it! He knew wen hua well for his swordplay and his two dreams of marrying Li Baishi, a famous prostitute in the capital, back home. And the person he wanted Wen Hua to kill was no one else, it was Xu Fengnian, a good brother who was accompanied by Wen Hua's youth and had the same affection as a brother!
This old yellow man just wanted to gamble, to see that Wen Hua was reluctant to throw away the sword that was expected to become a land immortal, and the beloved woman who looked at it correctly and wanted to have a monkey with others, to exchange for a brotherhood that had only been formed in just one year.
Finally, Old Man Huang had a showdown with Wen Hua, and the old man said that the person he wanted Wen Hua to kill was Xu Fengnian. But what the old man never expected was that he Huang Sanjia had calculated everything, but this time he had miscalculated fiercely. Wen Hua not only did not fight the killer for his own interests, but even made a move that surprised everyone.
After burning incense, he cut off an arm, a leg and a whole body of tendons, leaving only one life, and left the courtyard with the wooden sword that had been accompanying him. In the alley outside the courtyard, a long trail of blood was left on the snowy road, bright red and shiny.
"In Lao Tzu's hometown, if you borrow money from others, if you borrow twelve, you will have to pay back twelve or three, and my Wenhua sword was taught by you, and I will abolish my whole body martial arts and return you one arm and one leg." That was the last thing he said to Old Man Huang.
At the corner of the alley, Wen Hua squatted down, tearful eyes, and then smiled miserably, stood up and pointed his sword at the wall, breaking one of them, and in the bone-chilling snow, the last words he said to himself were: Don't practice your sword.
Since then, there has been no more news of invincibility in the jianghu, and this wooden sword ranger who has just emerged and is famous in the world not long ago has bid farewell to the jianghu with the most tragic and decisive posture.
For the sake of a brotherly righteousness, even the skin of the body can be ignored, cutting off his hands and siblings, but also cutting off his own jianghu dreams, leaving only a back that does not stand straight and a long blood road, this road is not miserable, painful, I am afraid that only Wen Hua himself knows. If nothing else, just rush to this heavy love and righteousness, Wen Hua, I respect you as a man!
4. Little two, serve wine!
After returning to his hometown, Wen Hua did not want to cause trouble for his brother and sister-in-law, so he found a job in the town and started his old business. Therefore, in a restaurant in the town, since then there has been a lame shop small two, everyone laughs, even if they are disliked, it is just a vigorous bow and waist, even if they make reparations, although the appearance is bumpy, but the mouth is full of oil, it is also very likable.
One day, a storyteller came to the shop, talking about the man who held 300,000 strong troops, just like the mythical Northern Liang King, who once said that one of his swords was learned from the Central Plains swordsman Wen Hua. When the guests in the tavern heard this, they coaxed one after another, "Wen Xiao'er, when did you get close to the Northern Liang King?" ”
Wen Xiao'er, who was rarely averse to the enemy in his daily life, just stood with the wine jug in his hand at that moment, and even forgot to pour wine for the guests. It wasn't until the guest slapped the table and roared angrily that he lifted his shoulder, wiped the tears from his face, and said loudly, "Eh, officer, the wine is coming!" ”
After many, many years, after years of hard work, Wen Hua has turned from the original nameless shop small two to sit in the position of the restaurant manager. One day, there was a sudden sound of crisp horseshoes outside the building, and a green-shirted man who was firmly in the C position shouted loudly: The shop xiao er surnamed Wen, is there any fine wine? Is there good meat? Is there a wooden sword?
Wen Hua grinned and said, Gone! The man in the green shirt sighed and asked again, "That... Are there any brothers? At this time, the Wen treasurer of the restaurant, who had severed his hands and feet, broken his wooden sword, and retreated from the jianghu, tried to suppress the gushing crying, and finally replied with a smile: "Also, there has always been!" ”
The good brother Xiao Nian, who used to look at the beautiful girl's white breasts and cocked ass with himself, stole chickens and dogs together, and smelled the same as the same, xiao Nian returned. The two of them, once brothers, are and will remain.
About Wen Hua's life has been nagged here, I don't know how you feel, I have some mixed feelings. What we have seen from Wen Hua's life, seeing the lonely courage who has no money to mention a wooden sword and also wants to break into the rivers and lakes, seeing that after breaking out of a certain fame in the rivers and lakes, he is willing to resolutely put down all the atmosphere for the sake of love, as well as his friendship with Xiao Nian, who is constantly sugary and thief at their respective stages of life.
The vast rivers and lakes, it is precisely because of the existence of people like Wen Hua that there are more legends that people talk about. Wen Hua, respect you!
