On the second day, Yun Zhong replenished his supplies of dry food and drinks, and bought some dried fish from the street. When he said goodbye to the old man and set off on the road, he specially took half of the money he had brought with him and hid it in the house. Under the pillow, I didn’t know why the old man was so sharp-eyed. Before it was time to lead the horse out, the old man had already caught up with him. He couldn’t help but stuff the money left by the young man back into his arms. Even though his face was gloomy, he said that he would leave it alone Thirty or forty years ago, I would have picked up the gun that was shot in the courtyard and hit Yunzhong twice with the barrel of the gun. Even though I was in a remote place, I had no worries about food and clothing. I couldn't let people who were away from home spend so much money. money for the journey.
After arguing with the old man, Yun Zhong had no choice but to put away the money, clasped his fists in a respectful salute, and announced his family name. After all, he was a senior who entered the world very early. He must at least know this etiquette, but the old man turned sideways and passed the courtesy. , there was a half-smile on the old face, "I'm getting older, I'm afraid even if you say your name now, it will be forgotten in a few days, and it will be hard to think of it again. Why do you need to know each other when we meet? It's just good to get along. No matter what, if you can make some time "After three to five years, when the old man has left Hexi, he will come again to see the tomb of this lonely man, and pouring a pot of wine on it will be enough. What are so many rituals for?"
Yun Zhong really wanted to say a few words to comfort him. You have such an old body and you think that even if you live for another half a century, it is more than enough. You don't have to say such unlucky words. But when he saw the old man's clear eyes, he somehow managed to find the words. He swallowed it back in his stomach and nodded slightly, "It's a pity that I don't have anything to give you. I always feel a little regretful. When I came, I always thought that I was light without anything, but I never thought of it."
The old man wrinkled his face with a smile, grinned and pointed behind him at the black-green spear standing in the courtyard, "This is a gift from a young man like you. If I hadn't mentioned this matter yesterday, I'm afraid that the old man would have wanted it after he passed away. Above the eaves, the loneliness is tight. Rather than picking up this spear, it is better to say that I picked up many old thoughts. I feel sorry for myself and cannot change them, but there are still people who always think about me. She and I are the best. What a great gift."
The young man rode the horse, swaying, but he took about a hundred steps out of the village entrance, but he turned around frequently and looked at the frail old man standing up in the morning and waving his hand, without any reason of sadness, straight up to the coffin.
"Young man, it's best to get out of the world as soon as possible. You can't get along with others because of your own pleasure. If you think of a tomb here in the future, there must be a spear stuck in front of the tomb. That's why I bow to you and send it out respectfully. Jianghu."
When leaving the village entrance, the old man shouted a few words. Seeing the young man standing in the morning light, he turned around and bowed in the distance. He walked back to the courtyard with satisfaction and looked at the black and blue spear in front of him. It had not rusted for many years and was still the same. The tip of the spear was cold, and he stepped forward to caress her gently, his brows and eyes smooth.
"The years are like an antelope flying across the river. The younger generation always carries the thoughts of the elders as they go out into the rivers and lakes and see all kinds of scenery, sounds, dogs and horses, and the sky is high and the water is wide."
"Go in and out in peace, always with joy."
When the young man was riding his horse out of the village, a plowman appeared beside him for no apparent reason, carrying a sharp iron hoe on his shoulder. No matter how fast or slow the Yun Zhong horses walked, they actually stayed close to each other, and it seemed that they still had some energy left.
"Why didn't I realize before that Mr. Yan is so good at disguise? Originally, he would always leave a yellow fox tail, but now he even hides the fox tail very deep. It's really a good trick." Yun Zhong stroked the tail on his chest. The drunken civet cat was shaking its head, already
He is quite familiar with the bumps on the horse's back, and he often stands on the horse's neck and pats the horse's head twice. He is obviously an old cat, but his curiosity has not diminished at all.
"Are you young people allowed to break through every now and then, and not allow me, the fisherman, to become better and better?" The farmer snorted twice and shook his hoe, "A yellow dragon is still a yellow dragon, it just turns into a little yellow mud on the tip of this hoe. , to be honest, it’s just a little trick, it’s just that most practitioners in the world can’t find fault with it, so what’s the point?”
"Sir, do you know what the lingering ghost means?" Yun Zhong made it clear that he did not want to pay attention to this mysterious fisherman. From the beginning to the end, he never turned sideways to look at the farmer. Instead, he sat upright on the horse and said softly, clearly wanting to lure Yan Jiaqing away. If Todoroki goes elsewhere to purify the realm, don’t follow him.
But the farmer was very unhappy and cursed, "I knew you young man had no conscience. If I hadn't guided you the day before yesterday, how could you have heard about these world affairs from the old man's mouth? Although it is not uncommon, after all, You can also see the journey of life. If you really want to clear your mind during this trip and listen to more old stories, isn't this an opportunity?"
Yun Zhong looked sideways and said coldly, "From the perspective of the descendants, if the master no longer follows me, or if he doesn't pour his thoughts into the minds of the descendants, then it will be the best opportunity in the world. This is the best opportunity in the world." If you plan to go out on your own, why bother to learn from the maggot attached to the bone? The path is different, even if you can reach the five realms directly by taking the yellow dragon, so what."
Immediately, he ignored the woodcutter's words, clamped the horse's belly slightly, and felt the tampering of the goods. He immediately jumped out about a foot away and started running happily, leaving behind the woodcutter who had been following him step by step. Take a breath, and it's gone. Yan Jiaqing, who was standing on the same spot, touched his nose in embarrassment and felt a little embarrassed. Then, regardless of his behavior, he grabbed a hoe and slapped the yellow mud hard twice, "Look at how disgusted people are, if you can go straight in." The Five Realms, I think it’s easier to come by, so I don’t have to sacrifice my face to beg for nothing, and then I won’t be able to sell it even for the money.”
A yellow snake emerged from the lapel of the woodcutter's clothes, no more than the length of a palm. He looked curiously at Yan Jiaqing, who was shaking his palms at the yellow mud. The latter suddenly stopped, turned around stiffly, and said with a sad face and a smile, "This doesn't mean you are old. It means that this hoe is ineffective and you will not be able to send generals out. You will be looked down upon all day long."
The sand and stones were rolling, and the farmer struggled to crawl out of the pit that was half a foot wide. The yellow snake in the air was not polite at all, and instantly coiled onto the farmer's shoulder. The latter dared not say anything in anger, so he could only rub the quilt. The tail pulled out his black and green face, and he used his magical power to chase a person in the distance. He only raised his feet two or three times, and then he caught up nearly a hundred feet away. He continued to get close to the mixed-haired horse, but he did not speak again. After all, Stop.
Taoyuan Island is not an island, but it happens to be close to Gu Lake. Since most of the villages have been fishing for a living for generations, it is distinguished from the Taoyuan Township on the other side of the lake. Therefore, the word "Taoyuan" is added to the suffix of the word "Taoyuan". The word sounds fresh and catchy, so the name has never been changed over the years. Tixiang is Taoyuan Township, and Tidao is Taoyuan Island. Although the two places need to cross the lake, there is still a lot of traffic. Especially during the wedding season, the ferries between the villages and islands pull up red sails and hang red satin, which always reflects the liveliness of the lake, like a daughter's red lips and her daub.
Although it was once famous in the capital of Yizhang, there are still very few foreign travelers here, mostly because of the poetic style of Yizhang.
Mighty and powerful, under such a scenery, Baili Peach Forest, even a man who has just settled in the battlefield, can hardly put his heart to the iron horse. Talking to Feihua, no matter what, it is an awkward situation. What's more, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so few outsiders come in or out all year round.
But yesterday, there was a young man riding a horse, followed by a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. The young man was very thin, but he could still tell that he was handsome, but the middle-aged gentleman looked quite a bit handsome. I was bored. Not long after I arrived at Taoyuan Island, I went to the tavern and drank half a tank of wine. The waiter in the tavern was speechless and said that he had never seen such a foreigner. The wine brewed here was quite good. It is so rich that most people who come here to enjoy the wine will be too drunk after just three or two cups. The literati recite poems, the gangsters make fists, and they will hug the table and call themselves brothers with the yellow dogs on the roadside before they have five or six bowls of wine. Drinking like this is really rare.
The young man who came with him also had a very good drinking capacity. The waiter tried to say that ordinary people would get drunk after just three glasses or two, but he didn't expect that this young man had to drink a full two bottles before his face became slightly brighter. Being drunk, I paid for the middle-aged man's drink with disgust, and then slowly went upstairs to rest.
At noon today, several waiters in the tavern managed to cope with six or seven groups of visitors. With a rare moment of leisure, the five people sat around the table and speculated about the two foreigners yesterday. One wants to drink as much wine as he wants, and the other is worrying. What if he drinks the entire tavern's stock of wine.
"I guess after all, there are so many people in middle-aged and older clothes. You didn't catch your eye last night, but Brother Yan and I could see clearly. When that person was drinking, he wanted to stick his head into the wine vat. At first, he still used Hai Wan, who seemed to be feeling unsatisfied at the back, simply moved the bench to the front of the wine vat, poured the wine into his mouth, and almost died of drunkenness in front of the wine vat. It was the young man who dragged the man upstairs, with a serious attitude. It's not like drinking, but it's like being thirsty and trying to survive. It might burst your belly." One of the waiters, who had his upper body bare, was obviously lean, but he didn't feel cold at all. He was talking to a few people about yesterday's person with great joy. When he saw something strange, he patted his chest and said, "It must be the man in the long gown who drank more today. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. Brother Yan, do you think so or not?"
The young man who was always smiling on the side shook his head when he heard this, "That young man who is very young seems to me to be even more profound. The two bottles of wine are just a blush, even though I always pride myself on my drinking capacity. It's as deep as the sea. After two bottles of wine, even if you get punched by the shopkeeper, you may not be able to wake up. In my opinion, that young man has a good chance of winning today."
The thin man slapped his leg, and then snickered in a low voice, "In that case, why not take a gamble with two or three copper coins to add some luck."
But immediately, a woman with high-waisted hair came out from behind the cabinet. She was originally very good-looking, but now she was squinting. She couldn't help but throw the wine spoon onto the table, looked around and cursed, "I only play with money and laziness all day long." , but when it comes to making a living, everything is in trouble. If the young man hadn't dragged away the drunk man in the long gown yesterday, I would have helped. If you dare to raise this bet today, you will lose after all. This monthly money How about just not posting it?"
Several waiters repeatedly begged for mercy, but when they saw that the woman was still unwilling to give in, they immediately broke up and escaped from the tavern to have fun. The taste of peach blossoms, which was earlier than in previous years, was falling all over the street.
