The night before leaving Taoyuan Island, the three of them sat in front of the peach blossom forest as before, but this time they only had a jar of wine in hand. They didn't drink too much, but just chatted while drinking, talking about words they didn't usually say on weekdays.
Yan Jiaqing talked about that Yantang state, where the people did not know how to provoke the wrath of God. It was really deep and hot, and most of the land was barren of weeds, let alone crops. When the weird weather came, people would starve to death everywhere and lay corpses on the ground. It can almost block the rivers and rivers. At first, the people suppressed their hunger and did not do anything that would scare people. However, in the season of hunger, people can no longer be called human beings, let alone bark and grass. , plowing cowhide rope, all used to fill the belly. Once the skin is in the belly, it is always difficult for people to use it. After being soaked in water, the person's spleen and stomach will most likely be bloated. Even if the belly is clearly filled to the brim, hunger will not diminish at all.
Under such a scene, the young and the strong have an easier time surviving, while the young and old are the most difficult to survive. There are often children in the family who cannot bear the hunger and die first, and the parents have to exchange the bodies of the children with other families. Yi Zi And eat to save your life. When Yan Jiaqing talked about this, his expression was calm and natural. He put down the wine jar and looked up at the fallen flowers, and smiled bitterly.
"Yun Xiaozi has been poor since he was a child, but I guess he has never encountered any natural or man-made disasters, and he has rarely encountered famine. I think that after the first two families exchanged children for food, they were scolded by countless people and said to be inhumane. The beasts that eat seeds in the mountains are all the same, and the poison of tigers is not enough to eat seeds, so how can they survive by such means, which will make the world angry and resentful."
"But later on, many people who claimed to be righteous and upright also kept silent, just because many people accidentally saw corpses lying on the roadside in poor areas. In addition to hungry dogs with distinct ribs, there were also Many victims who were so hungry that they lost their minds would pick up knives and axes to seize the corpses if they still had knives and axes. If they didn't have knives and axes, they would even break a few of the exposed ribs of the corpses and share life and death with others for convenience. It was the half-eaten carcass on the roadside that had been eaten by crows and birds who had heard the news. I once saw a former friend who had half of his face chewed off by a human being, with his eyes protruding. Countless unknown birds, I no longer expected to find any grass seeds, they came one after another to peck at people's internal organs, looking like a black tide, circling towards me, even though it has been many years, it is still fresh in my memory."
The scholar stopped talking and glanced at Yun Zhong who was silent and lowered his eyebrows. "When you are born in troubled times or in a disaster-ridden world, you are born with a life like an ant, crawling around and crawling from the pile of dead people." When I came out, it would be hard to reach the sky. If I didn't have the position of fisherman, I might still be in Yantang Province now. I might learn from others and raise an army to plunder everywhere. Where would I be under the peach blossoms now? A good day for wine.”
"I have never heard anyone mention that there is such a chaotic world in the world." The young man shook his head and hesitated a little, but still raised his head and asked, "Mr. Yan rarely talked about the affairs of Yantang Prefecture. Now that he has mentioned it, , why don’t you tell us where this place is? As early as when we were on Nangong Mountain, our juniors asked our senior brother where Yantang Province was located, but our senior brother shook his head and said nothing, saying that he had never heard of such a place in the world. Land, why not take advantage of the wine and mention a few things today."
But how could Yan Jia Qing start a fight so easily? He just curled his lips, then turned to Ning Quan'an, who was always sitting upright, and grinned softly.
"In my opinion, it is better when you are crazy. At least you talk more. Now that you have finally broken through the confusion, you have become dull. I left here today. After all, I vented my bad breath for you. I have never said a word. Is it because I am worried? Uneasy?"
"It's true that I have some complicated things on my mind." Ning Quan'an refused to argue and nodded in agreement, but also said frankly that he still didn't know whether his family members were alive or dead. Since Yan Jiaqing rarely felt sympathy, he was timid near his hometown and panicked on the spot, so he always avoided it. Less than that.
"If you want to trick me, your kid's enthusiasm is still low, it's better not to ask, to scare the snake, and then to plot, it is an extremely difficult thing. You know that it is difficult to test your words from me, so don't try again. It's fair. It's a waste of time." After finishing the drink, Yan Jiaqing smiled at the young man with a sly smile.

In the early morning of the next day, after Yun Zhong paid for the hotel and drinks, he said goodbye to the shopkeeper who still looked a little evasive. However, the latter said that there was probably going to be a storm in the next two days, so he would probably go on the road today. If we are going to be blocked by wind and rain, it is better to stay for two more days until we have a rest. The lean man on the side didn't understand what he meant, but he came forward and explained to the young man. He said that in the village, looking at the sky means spreading salt on the ground. If the salt particles stick to each other at night, they can almost make water come out by rubbing them. There will be a heavy downpour within a day. If it remains dry inside, it must be sunny for several consecutive days. This method of judging the sky scene has been tried and tested many times and is quite suitable.
This was the first time Yun Zhong had heard of this method, so he had a few more words with the lean man. The latter accidentally caught a glimpse of the cold face of the shopkeeper, so he turned his head back, struggled to swallow his words, and laughed sarcastically. He walked aside and wiped the table diligently without daring to say another word.
"Young hero, you are here, but you don't know when you will come here again to enjoy the rewards?" The woman pursed her lips and asked tentatively, but for some unknown reason, she still mustered up her courage and looked at the young man with a warm smile in front of her, and then she thought about herself again. After picking up the topic, "I'm afraid that when I come back next time, the peach blossoms have already changed for many seasons, and they may no longer be as prosperous as this year. They say they are hundreds of miles apart. In fact, they are only dozens of miles away in previous years, but this year is the most blooming." Gorgeous.”
Yun Zhong nodded and glanced back at Brother Yan who was sitting not far away. The latter lowered his eyebrows and was still drinking by himself. He seemed not to pay attention to the conversation between the two here, but carefully looked at the hands holding the cup. Shake slightly.
"It's true as the girl said, the peach blossoms are blooming very well this year. The peach blossoms are especially sweet when paired with wine." Yun Zhong chuckled. He didn't know why his smile was filled with murderous intent. He squinted and smiled, "But the color is... It doesn’t quite suit my taste. It would be best to look at it as red as the throats of Jianghu people. It is the most comfortable to look at it. The peach blossoms in the long lake are not as comfortable and refreshing as killing people in the world of mortals. If you are free, girl, you should go to Jianghu. Walking on the road and seeing blood everywhere is the best scene in the world."
The woman who kept the tavern was obviously a little scared, but looking at the young man's face, she didn't know where the courage came from, and continued to answer, "I also thought about going to Jianghu to have a look, but unfortunately no one went with me. I didn't practice martial arts earlier. Now, But it is always difficult to go out. I am exhausted from worrying about money all day long, and it is really difficult to move around as I please."
Yun Zhong calmed down and sighed softly.
A woman's thoughts are the most unpredictable, but since she has made her thoughts clear, it is the most difficult thing in the world to deal with.
"I know the girl's thoughts well, but firstly, because I already have a woman who is always at the forefront of my heart, I really don't dare to take over the girl's thoughts. Secondly, I have been traveling in the world for several years, and I am really used to it. I don't want to Although he behaved mercilessly like that, sometimes he tastes fresh trout, but it usually only lasts for a while, but he can't live without rice every day." The young man Mingming spoke calmly and calmly, but in the end he still asked the swallow Brother glanced in the direction.
"I privately believe that in this world of hardships and hardships, one person has no choice but to endure injustice when encountering injustice. However, it is actually far less peaceful and satisfying than being here in paradise. This is the world's covenant. Why don't you want to take a look at the person in front of you during this good time? With the peach blossoms flying, I think in my heart, the girl would rather walk with him until the snow turns gray."
After saying these words, the young man cupped his fists and bowed deeply, hung the Shuihuo swallow sword to his waist, walked to sit in front of Brother Yan, poured a glass of wine, and touched the person in front of him once. , drink it all in one gulp.
"I really can't help with this matter." The man was already drunk and his face was red, but he still forced himself to look at the young man in front of him with a very warm smile. He sighed and shook his head, looking at the strong-willed man behind the high cabinet. The sad woman said, "We have known each other since we were young. We have known each other for at least ten years now. Everyone in the village knows that I have liked Qi Yun since I was a child. It is said that this boy is also very persistent and can I have treated a woman like a treasure, guarded her for several years, and even put aside the Jianghu Road that I have always cared about, and have been doing trivial things for her in this village. Others may seem to have no future, but I have never felt wronged. "
"But on the first day that Young Master Yun entered the tavern, I realized that Qi Yun was probably really attracted to you, and the look on her face when she looked at you was different from usual. You must know that her temperament has been since she was a child. She is more aggressive than gentle, but since she can suppress her aggressive temperament when meeting the young hero, why don't she like her? It's a pity that she didn't get what she wanted, and neither did I, so I have no choice but to continue to spend my time like this."
Yan Xiaowu put down the cup and said with a smile, "She never puts on makeup, and she never drinks alcohol except during New Years and holidays. Didn't the young hero smell the fragrance of powder and a little alcohol when she just spoke? Wine is It is to strengthen your courage, and the makeup is to please your appearance, how can I not know its inner meaning?"
"But since she is not happy, how can I stop her? In the final analysis, it is wishful thinking. There is no reason in the world that if I like others, others must like me. But even if the ending can be seen at a glance, we have to Are you going to play this role well? At least you have to watch her find the person she likes and get married happily before she can leave."
When Yunzhong went out, he still looked back.
The woman is looking at him, and Yan Xiaowu is looking at the woman.
Yan Jiaqing greeted him impatiently outside the door, saying that he had already prepared the tent for the car, so why bother? If it was a little later, he might not be able to make it in time.
Peach blossoms fall in the middle of the street.
The man looked at the woman.
It's perfectly reasonable, but it's just wishful thinking.
