"No matter what, Gui Fangzong is not easy to deal with. Just wait until he comes back."
Now, there is really nothing that can be done but to wait for Gui Fangzong to come back and try again.
Several people thought that nothing would happen until Gui Fangzong came back. A few days after Ban Nu woke up, an uninvited guest soon appeared in Wushan.
On this day, Ban Shu hurriedly brought Ban Nu to the guest house and saw Yue Guanchao showing a letter: "Look, the handwriting on this letter is Sun Tianqi's current handwriting!"
Yue Guanchao looked at the letter they brought, and the folded pages had been unfolded. She took the letter handed over by Song Siyuan and compared it with the handwriting he left in Jiangyong County. The handwriting and style were exactly the same. There was only one sentence on it: Once upon a time, it was difficult to make water in the sea. Wushan is not a cloud.
"Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to overcome, but Wushan was not a cloud? If he appeared now, how could he only have these two lines of poetry?"
Apart from these two lines of poetry, there are no words, not even marks between the words, which shows that it is not an acrostic poem.
Ban Nu took the document: "As long as you are sure that this is Sun Tianqi's calligraphy, then I will know what he means."
She paused and her face became mysterious: "I was mainly afraid that someone would deliberately lure us into taking the bait. I felt relieved when I was sure it was Sun Tianqi's handwriting. This poem was the words we said when we made love. We made love at Canghai Inn back then. I think he is hinting me to go to Canghai Inn."
After Ban Nu finished speaking, Yue Guanchao looked at Song Siyuan: "Then, maybe Sun Tianqi is really back. Should we go and see?"
"Of course I want to go."
She looked at everyone: "Senior Ban just woke up, and this letter came right after. This shows that Wushan probably also has Sun Tianqi's spy. He sent the letter after getting the news from Senior Ban, probably because he wanted to contact us. "
"Okay, I will take you to Canghai Inn."
Ban Shu knew that Sun Tianqi's sudden appearance at this time was definitely unusual, so he rushed to Canghai Inn with Ban Nu, Yue Guanchao, Song Siyuan, and Xu Xiake, while the rest stayed behind at the villa.
On the way, Ban Nu knew that he had been lost for thirty years and asked worriedly: "Canghai Inn still exists?"
Ban Shu nodded: "Well, not long after you went crazy, Canghai Inn also changed from an official inn to a private inn. In recent years, the river has been prosperous in freight transportation. As the gateway to the southwest, there are many travelers and merchants, most of whom are crossing the Wushan River. Stop at the nearby Canghai Inn.”
Go south for four or five miles from Chaoyun Villa, and when you reach a high green brick wall, you are already approaching Wushan Crossing.
As mentioned earlier, Wushan County is located at the intersection of Jiangshui River and Ninghe River. This high green brick wall is not only the city wall of Wushan County, but also the dam of the river tidal flat. It is shaped like an "L" shaped horseshoe, blocking the river beach and the river water. They all have city gates and watchtowers, which are usually closed and only opened during festivals.
At the most prominent corner of the tidal flat, on the green brick rammed earth wall, there is a giant round arch door, which can be used by horses and pedestrians on the top. There is a canal water flow below, and you can enter the canal to run boats. Going out along the canal is Wushan Ferry.
This is the largest ferry in Wushan County. Along the Cao Canal Road, you can see countless docks and canals distributed along the Cao Canal Road like comb teeth, almost occupying the river bank. There are already countless cargo ships moored, whining and whining.
"Where is Canghai Inn?"
Yue Guanchao and the others looked around the streets in the city, but they didn't see any signboard for Canghai Inn, and they became curious.
Ban Shu's eyes signaled them to look towards the city tower. On top of the blue brick city wall, a huge square pavilion appeared at the "L" shaped corner. It was about four stories high above the city wall. There were suspended corridors on all sides connecting the pavilions, with eaves hanging down on all sides. There were lanterns, the store's slogan was written on them, and from a distance you could see the lanterns fluttering in the wind, and there were many pedestrians and merchants standing in the corridors.
"Why is the inn on the city wall?"
The location of Canghai Inn is really strange. It doesn’t matter if the inn is not in a commercial street. It is indeed rare high up on the city wall.
Ban Shu explained: "This city tower is a relic of the civil unrest. In those days, in addition to this place, there were two other similar towers at the end of the rammed earth and blue brick wall. It is considered the highest point in Wushan County. Standing here to see You can directly see the other side of the river, and all movements are clear. There are brave young men patrolling here from morning to night. They patrol three times a day and live in the tower without interruption."
"When the civil unrest was over, the city tower would be of no use. The other two towers had been demolished that year, leaving only this one. Later, with the reform, a second floor was added here, and it was built by the county government as The official post is used to receive the reform officials sent by the government to supervise the factory."
"After the Republic of China, this official post should have been abolished. A private owner saw the unobstructed view from a high place, so he transformed it into the Canghai Inn. Travelers and merchants rested here, and it gradually became a habit."
Having said this, they had already walked under the city tower, got off the carriage and walked onto the horse path, arriving in front of Canghai Inn.
This city tower is located at the corner. It is a larger tower with two walls intersecting each other, forming a larger square platform. The inn is about four stories high, like five or six courtyard houses put together to form a pavilion house on top of the high wall. .
The main body of this house is a city tower. The first floor wall extends outwards to a platform, and a quadrangle courtyard is built. Starting from the second floor, corridors and windows appear, until the third floor gradually turns into an open-air overlook, with countless stacked and scattered terraces. The pavilion is like a turret in the Forbidden City. The eaves and window sills are stacked like swallow-tailed bird wings, making it look extremely gorgeous.
Walking into it, the interior of the city tower has been hollowed out. The three-story tower is completely open from top to bottom. It is surrounded by rooms of various colors. According to the laws of heaven and earth, the four characters are arranged in twelve hours, forming various house floors. , everything is not shabby, but has the rough and luxurious feel of Jianghu.
"Everyone, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"
Seeing them come in, a young waiter came out of the small cubicle near the door.
"Brother, is Room Tianzi Yin number given out?"
Ban Nu's face behind the veil spat out a sentence. Probably, the room in Emperor Yin's room was the guest room where they had stayed.
The child's eyes became confused. There were so many people in Canghai Inn, but he didn't think too deeply. He said, "I checked in a few days ago. Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"That man is my friend. Please take us up there. He and I have made an appointment." Ban Nu handed him a few coins.
"Oh, thank you very much. Come with me."
The waiter was in front, and they were behind. They walked up the stairs at the corner to the fourth floor. The waiter took them to the room No. Tianzi Yin according to the house number, and knocked on the door: "Boss Sun, your friend is here to see you. ”
After a while, the door creaked open, and the person inside only said please come in, and said nothing else.
After the waiter left, Ban Nu opened the door curtain and walked in. The room was filled with incense and elegantly furnished. He turned his back to them, sitting alone in the pavilion outside the window.
Ban Nu looked at the back that was obscured by the curtain, and seemed to have figured out the man's identity. He unconsciously lifted the veil and slowly approached the pavilion.
Ban Nu suppressed his excitement, his voice trembled, he looked at the man's back and said emotionally: "There was a time when the sea was too difficult to overcome!"
After a long time, the man slowly turned around and said, "Except for Wushan, it's not Yun."
"Ban Nu, I haven't seen you in thirty years. You really haven't aged at all, unlike me, who has become an old man in his fifties or sixties."
After saying that, this man opened the curtain on the pavilion and walked out. He had gray hair, a black gauze Taoist crown, a human-like appearance, shrewd and perseverance. He held a dust in his hand and a bead on his wrist. There was no trace of Jiang Yongshi's calculations and wretchedness in his eyebrows and eyes. , on the contrary, he has a touch of calmness and gentleness, which means he can be regarded as an immortal Taoist, instead of a chicken-legged Taoist with ulterior motives.
"Heavenly weapon."
When an old lover meets, it is inevitable that he will be jealous. Sun Tianqi had no choice but to leave Wushan. He has not been able to see him for thirty years. Seeing that he has changed from a young man to a middle-aged man with gray temples, Ban Nu feels heartbroken. Still feel bad.
Sun Tianqi walked up to Ban Nu, as if he was looking at a lost treasure. After browsing up and down, he looked at her with surprised eyes: "Ban Nu, I thought I would never see you regain consciousness in this life. I can see you return to normal. I will die." No regrets.”
You can't pretend to be a lover. Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan looked at the two of them. Ever since they entered the guest room, Sun Tianqi's eyes had not left Ban Nu. They could also see that Sun Tianqi and Ban Nu were really showing their affection. At its most profound, it is definitely not a joke.
When this emotional experience has not diminished after thirty years of not seeing each other, it adds a touch of tragedy to their experience.
No matter who it is, they have not changed their minds for thirty years. They probably had a deep and firm relationship in the past, which was by no means comparable to ordinary relationships. They gradually closed the door, and the three people of Yue Song and Sun Tianqi walked into the pavilion together.
After everyone sat down, Ban Nu asked his most curious question: "How do you know that I am awake?"
"Although I ran away, I always thought of you. At first I wanted to find a real way to lift the curse for you, but then I found nothing, so I went overseas to do business with my friends..."
Back in time, after Sun Tianqi left, he was a lamp shadow from the Taiping Kingdom. He came to Wushan County to hide his name just to avoid disaster. After leaving Wushan County, he immediately contacted his old friend through a secret code and began to look for a way to lift Ban Nu's curse. .
By secretly investigating Guifangzong, he discovered that he and Huasheng Trading Company had always been interested in Shennongjia. He immediately thought that Bannu's condition might be related to Shennongjia where Guifangzong was going. He originally wanted to enter Shennongjia to find out. But the weather was not good. Not only did we not find anything, we almost died in Shennongjia.
From this moment on, he realized that his ability was not enough to reveal the secrets hidden in Shennongjia.
He searched for a way to no avail, and could not return to Wushan County, so he had no choice but to take a boat to the West with his friends, hoping to find other ways through the superb medical skills of the Westerners.
