Fengcheng is majestic and majestic. Even if the horse rests in the famous horse shed and runs wildly, it will take ten days to see the north and south.
This is a saying that has been passed down orally among the people since ancient times. Even though Fengcheng originally stood for infinite years, this saying has not changed at all. It has been repeated from ancestors to descendants. However, how many years have passed between them depends on the previous generations. When I went to the place where the family tree was hidden, I had to blow through the dust and rummage for two months before I could even find some clues. Then I counted the years of Fengcheng's existence, which must have made me even more frightened. An ancient city like Fengcheng can be known to have existed in the world for more than ten or even dozens of years just by looking at the family tree. I am afraid that there are not many places in the world that can be found throughout the ages. Naturally, the people in Fengcheng will be proud of it. A brilliance, the people inside the city and the people outside the city are only separated by a high wall, but if they meet, there is no need to say which confidence is higher or lower.
After all, Fengcheng is indeed rich in resources and people, not to mention the three Neijia cities that are very close to the main palace of the city in the middle of Fengcheng. Even the outer city of Xiabing, which is located in the outermost ring of Fengcheng, is as rich as Fengcheng. The scattered houses outside the city are incomparable. Many old people whose ancestors once settled in Neijia City always want to add two more words when their children and grandchildren are talking about them. He said that within the three cities of Neijia, gold, silver, and money are like dung, fine wine surrounds the east of the city, and you can pour it from a pot, and all the deer, Lu, and dragon springs hang over the west gate, and anyone who wants to practice martial arts and swords can take them. Use it, you can't feel the traffic jams along the road, there are more than ten thousand cattle and sheep in the north of the city, the stars are born in the night and grow up in the morning, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land that don't need to be cared for, and there are three ripe crops in a month, how enviable it is.
Naturally, the sons and nephews also had the idea to go to the three Neijia cities to see the world. Unfortunately, in the end, they always had to be beaten a few times by the old man in the family with their crutches, saying that only those with great abilities or great merits would be allowed in the three Neijia cities. , you are not allowed to enter, and you are not even allowed to enter or leave the three cities of the inner and second cities. It is better to avoid this thought first and concentrate on learning or studying your crafts. If one day you become famous in the world, or are unintentionally taken aback by the nobles of the three inner cities, then He can be regarded as a dragon and a phoenix among people. Only by stepping into the three inner cities can he not bury Fengcheng's reputation.
However, in recent years, the situation in Bingwai City under Fengcheng has become worse and worse than in previous years. Not to mention that every family can get rich and powerful, and every family has money and money. It seems to have passed by in a blink of an eye. Over the years, more and more people have been recruited, but it can be seen that the situation is getting worse. After more than ten years, the scene of children gathered around the knees in Xia Bing City is now almost gone. Most of them are People struggling to make a living have made the outer city of Xia Bing even more desolate.
Han Jiangling was only thirty years old, and he had already established his own business. He left his original home in the outer city of Xia Bing. He only returned a few times during the New Year or other festivals. His new home was located not far from the city gate. It's only a few hundred steps away, and it's not a mansion. It's an ordinary small house, but it took Han Jiangling more than ten years of hard work. There is still money that has not been settled, but it can be moved out by the family. At Han Jiangling's age, It can be said that it is difficult. Parents and neighbors often gossip and ridicule, saying that they have never seen children who choose to settle in more remote mansions after leaving home. They really may not have much future. However, those who say this often have children who still live with their parents and have never What kind of money can be saved? In Fengcheng, which is increasingly declining, it is already very difficult.
It's ordinary.
The difficulty for Han Jiangling is not that he can move to a new house at such an age, but that he has suffered from a strange disease since he was a child. Even though his mother went around the streets without telling Han's father, and spent almost two or three years in Waibingsan City, she was still suffering from a strange disease. Never healed.
The Han family was in a state of decline, but fortunately there had been talented people in their ancestors, and they almost entered the three inner cities. Unfortunately, in the end, they were not able to do so. Han's father had some knowledge, so he got a low-level official position in the outer city of Bing. He was very capable of doing business, but later resigned from his job to maintain the business, so his family background was quite good. However, he had a sinister temperament. In his early years, when he had some trouble with his mind, he often beat and scolded Han's mother, and because he learned that Han Jiangling was born with a disease. Due to illness, there are often ridiculous things like driving mother and son out of the house together. Han's mother was stoic and endured many years of beatings and scoldings. She worked hard to raise Han Jiangling. Although she is not yet sixty years old, has white hair and hunched shoulders, she is very old. However, since Han Jiangling has the ability to make a living, he has now settled in In my new home, my heartache has gone away, and my body and bones are stronger than before.
This house is not big, but it happens to have a monastery. It is said to be a monastery, but in fact it is just a narrow pavilion open to all directions. Two more Futon, one piece
The short case made of old pear wood is fortunately transparent from all sides. The breeze rarely passes through the towering cloud city gate, but can blow smoothly from the four corners of the monastery, which can make people feel light and calm.
Even though he didn't have much free time to read books on weekdays, Han Jiangling still often sat alone in this monastery. The four seasons of night could fall into his arms. , there are no new or old friends, but I feel comfortable.
The one person who has some friendship with Han Jiangling, who is new to the country and is not good at socializing, must be a child very close to Han Jiangling's house.
The child had no parents since he was a child. I heard from others that there were six or seven older brothers in the family and it was really difficult to make ends meet, so he adopted his older brother from his father. However, they were not very close after all, so the child was often beaten, scolded, and tortured, especially This woman was often upset because she had no offspring, and she felt that the child was adopted and could not be said to be of her own blood. She would often deprive the child of his food in private, add reeds to his clothes in the middle of winter, and make the child's face turn purple due to the cold. In the past few years, I have been pregnant with joy, and I have become more and more brazen in beating and scolding. I even have to serve children with water and clothes in front of my husband, and my tone is getting worse and worse.
However, the child didn't seem to be annoyed, especially in front of the neighbors. He knew how to protect the two of them. Even when he was beaten and scolded, he still helped the woman by squeezing her waist and beating her legs.
Whenever there is leisure time, children have never had the privilege of going to academies and schools. When they are tired of walking in the streets, they will go to Han Jiangling's home. He is not acquainted with life. Even Han Jiangling did not give the child a good look at first, and still often Come here, walk around, it feels more and more like going home, sit down in the monastery without saying a word, drink two sips of tea, and look at the majestic and towering city gate with Han Jiangling. His demeanor is still a bit mature.
The gate of Fengcheng towers into the clouds. It is made of who knows how many strange stone carvings. There are endless spikes pointing upward, as if they are thousands of swords and spearheads. Just looking at it can be intimidating. The entire city wall is covered in black, and there are countless rugged and densely thorny stone monsters on it, covering the faces of the defenders.
In fact, no one can tell the truth. In fact, the children were also quite curious as to why Han Jiangling could always see so clearly every day. But when it was his turn to look, he felt that the city was covered with clouds and mist, and there were a patchwork of sharp spikes poking the two of them. It hurts my eyes, and it really doesn't look like a good thing.
Only when a middle-aged man was talking to a child did the monastery become slightly lively after the sound of wind subsided. The children couldn't tell anything unusual, most of them were trivial things. For example, yesterday they saw two familiar playmates in the school. They were touched by the teacher's hand. They were in pain and cried like a little girl for a long time. At least they were able to survive. Looking at the teacher, they didn't complain. No matter how strong you are, you can't stand it. If you step into the classroom by yourself, you will most likely take the teacher's hand and break it, making that old-fashioned old man very angry.
But Han Jiangling just looked at the child angrily and said that he was just envious of you.
It was also during these days that the children gradually understood the strange symptoms of this middle-aged man. Maybe he was blind for no reason this morning, maybe he couldn't hear any noise when he woke up tomorrow, or maybe he couldn't move every two days No, if you are trapped in a monastery for one day, the problem will change on the second day. Even though children have heard of some strange lesions, they have never heard of a disease as strange as Han Jiangling's. However, thinking about how Han Jiangling had exposed his thoughts before, he had bad intentions and gloated all day long, saying that Han Jiangling was afraid of others. It was a misfortune that was deeply resented by Heaven. Otherwise, why would I have sought medical treatment for many years without any sign of improvement?
But why Han Jiangling was always willing to sit in the monastery, the child figured out a lot.
You never know when your eyes will be darkened and you will be unable to see the world. Even if there is nothing to see on the top of Fengcheng City, if you don’t even have to see this, your life will be too difficult, even if it is an unattractive city. The head is as jagged as human bones stacked on top of each other. If it can fall into the eyes, it can't be seen enough. It's like the sour steamed bun that the children ate a few days ago. Even if you close your eyes, you know that it will hurt for several days after swallowing it, but it still hurts. Better than not eating at all.
Han Jiangling said that sometimes when you can't see with your eyes, you just listen with your ears. The noisy summer wind, the bustle of the streets and the city, or the high and low sounds of cicadas singing, or the tinkling of tiles on a rainy night, and so on. If your eyes can't see and your ears can't hear, it's better to grab a pen and ink and write something randomly. You can't be too idle. If you have some troubles in your leisure, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it for a moment.
Live happily.
Therefore, the children felt that Han Jiangling was not very good, but he was not very bad either. So when he was wandering around in the streets, he heard some unorthodox recipes and wanted to try them for Han Jiangling. Knowing that Han Jiangling today When Jiang Ling could see, he would always pull up the cuffs of this poor middle-aged man and drag him up to the wall of the Cow Widow's house not far away. There were two people, one big and one small, with their faces all red.
The bad thing is that even if Han Jiangling is blind sometimes, children will still drag Han Jiangling. After they are satisfied, they will always kick the latter off the roof. For several days in a row, Han Jiangling will curse him. There was a green bag the size of a fist on his forehead.
Suffering is not considered suffering. Although the age difference between the two is not small, the ability to enjoy the suffering is not necessarily inferior to the other.
Summer passes and winter comes, winter passes and summer solstice comes.
The top of Fengcheng looks like human bones are stacked on top of each other, and there is no one to see each other.
