Chapter 545
"......" After thinking carefully for a while, Wan Qing finally shook his head, "No...... I don't know, but I'm sure it's the right one. It was as if someone was guiding me to play, and I didn't feel anything about it, but once I saw the opening, I didn't know how to play the endgame...... But, I don't remember how I remembered. Wanqing gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "What's going on?"
Jing Lan was startled, and hurriedly went to help Yun Qing press her temples, "Xiaotong, you won't be the same as Xia Ying, right...... No, when I didn't pay attention, someone would erase my memory. ”
"What do you want, you?" said Wan Qing couldn't laugh or cry.
Jing Feng looked at Wan Qing's demeanor, wanting to see if she was lying......
Originally, she was reluctant to confide the truth to him from the first moment.
Jinglan was like a professional masseuse, beating Yunqing's shoulders and pressing her back, and after a while, Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes, "I remembered...... It's the old woman!"
"What old woman?" Jing Lan's face was full of doubts.
Wan Qing turned around and grabbed Jing Lan's hand that was helping her pinch, "You forgot...... It should have been five years ago, we traveled around the world, passing by the village of Huahua, where the emperor was guarding, and met an old lady, she was in her seventies, but she played seven games of chess at the entrance of the village, with a pair of sevens, and each game was a gold ingot. ”
"Ahh
Hua Mao Village?Jing Feng frowned...... If it is Huaxing Village, it may not be wrong!
If he remembered correctly, Huajia Village was the place where Jing Yuan met Mei Yizhi...... Mei Yizhi became the minister of Huachu Sanpin, that is, he was not hereditary, nor had he experienced the imperial examination, he was promoted many years ago when Jing Yuan Weifu visited privately.
"So many years...... It's hard for you to remember. Jing Lan looked at his wife's face, her unforgettable ability was really impressive.
Five years ago, it would have been winter!
Jinglan heard that the smiling flowers bloomed in the spring in the southern city of Hua Chu, the fragrance of the flowers floated for thousands of miles, and everyone who smelled them was drunk, so he planned to take Wan Qing to take a look, who knows, this time, he saw Hua Chu smiling flowers, and wanted to see the lotus in the infinite blue of the lotus leaves in the jade sun......
From spring to summer, walk all the way to see, I don't know it, winter has come quietly, this scene to see the flowers and smell the fragrance, is actually in this great rivers and mountains in the whole year......
Spring flowers, summer rain, autumn wind, winter snow!
Think about it, the ...... he pursued in this life It's just days like this.
In the winter of that year, they went to the emperor.
It was a small, poor village, but the people were simple, the families were laughing and hospitable, and the whole village was self-sufficient, and there was not a single inn or a trade market...... At that time, there were only about 50 households and more than 200 villagers in Huahua Village.
The first time the two of them went to Huajia Village, they thought it was an empty city.
Heavy snow covered the whole village, there was no popularity at all, and the whole village could not hear any sound.
Jinglan looked for a long time and didn't find a place to eat and stay, it was still raining heavily, they came out to go out, and the horses didn't take it, Jinglan could stand it for herself, but she couldn't do it, she was such a delicate person, where could she withstand such a cold.
The first sound of popularity flowed from a twisted corner, the sneeze of a child.
In the snowy dead city, the child's sneezing is not to mention how kind.
"Child...... "On a snowy day, in Huajia Village, which is like a dead city, every household is closed, and you can't even see a winery, and finally saw a seven or eight-year-old girl, Jinglan went to ask her, "Child, where do you have an inn here?"
The kid was pink, white and fat, and looked at him with innocent eyes, "What is an inn?"
"It's a place to eat and sleep. Jing Lan explained with a smile, and saw that the child was wearing thinly, so he untied his jacket and put it on for the child.
"Oh, then I see. The child's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wan Qing and asked, "Is my sister a fairy?"
Jing Lan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "You kid has such a sweet mouth." ”
The child stepped on the snow, leaving footprints when she took a step, and she took Wan Qing's hand, "Sister Fairy, can you conjure many, many apricot blossoms? ”
While talking, the child took Jinglan and Yunqing around to his house, "Daddy, mother." ”
"Bao'er!" the child called, and footsteps were heard from the upper floor of the house.
It was the child's mother who came out, and when she saw the stranger, she was obviously stunned.
"Mother...... I see Sister Fairy. Bao'er ran over and took off the jacket that Jinglan had given her and put it on for her mother, "This is very warm." ”
"Bao'er, don't make trouble, give it back to others. As she spoke, the gentle woman lit the lamp.
"I'm sorry. Wan Qing coughed twice, Jing Lan went to help her pat her on the back again and again, and then looked at the little woman again, "My wife and I didn't mean to bother, we came here occasionally, but we never found the inn, so it's ......."
"That's right. The little woman looked gentle, "You two are from a foreign country, I see that you are all new faces, and we have fifty-eight families here...... There is no inn, and the nearest inn is also outside the village, about three days by foot. ”
"So far!" Jing Lan warmed her hands while inputting some internal force to keep her warm.
"If you don't dislike it, let's stay. The little woman was a good talker, "I see you've gone a long way...... I'll get you something to eat, this snow...... I'm afraid it'll be two more days!"
"Okay!" Bao'er nodded again and again, "I want to eat too!" As she spoke, she lay down in Yunqing's arms and asked, "Is the fairy sister hungry too?"
The little woman was amused by Bao'er, and looked at her again, "No wonder Bao'er thinks you are a fairy...... The girl is a real sign. ”
Wanqing was a little embarrassed to be praised, but on the contrary, Jinglan was full of pride.
Later, Boa's father also came down from upstairs.
Seeing the outsiders, Father Bao's eyes were also a little surprised.
The man was capable, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and when he saw Jing Lan, he didn't ask much, so he handed him a roll of dry cigarettes.
"We haven't had outsiders in our village for a year. "Coincidentally, this man happens to be the village chief of Huajia Village.
This place is remote, and it is within the territory of the emperor, but ...... The local government can't control them, from the government office, a round trip to a month's foot, Huahua Village has a history of more than 100 years, it was to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, their ancestors ran to such a place, established Huahua Village.
The two men swallowed clouds and smoked dry cigarettes, and their bodies were much warmer.
Wan Qing held Xiaobao and told the doll a story, and it didn't take long...... Bao'er fell asleep in Yunqing's arms.
It snowed heavily for three days, and the sun came out on the fifth day...... It took two days of snow to melt to the fullest.
However, after staying for seven days, Wan Qing and Jing Lan played with the villagers of Huahua Village, although that place was not very rich, but it was a paradise in the true sense of the word.
In their small village, they only go down the mountain once every six months, and the men in the village pick up some silk and go down the mountain to exchange for some necessary things.
That place can feel peaceful......
After staying for about a month, I still have to leave even if I am reluctant!
Jinglan prepared some silver tickets and broken gold, intending to tell the villagers, but found that ...... The hundreds of households all ran to the flat land where the grain was drying on weekdays, and Jinglan caught Grandpa Fu to know that this month, a second stranger came to their village.
"Grandpa Fu, didn't the second brother Niu just go down the mountain to change things a few days ago? Why now...... Don't you see everyone?, are you going down the mountain again?" Jing Lan's eyes were full of doubts.
Grandpa Fu smoked a dry cigarette, "No, there is an old lady at the entrance of the village, beating gongs and drums and setting up chess formations." ”
Grandpa Fu looked at them with a smile, "Let's go and take a look! I can't walk anymore, so you can help me take a look...... Our village, I don't have any other hobbies, just everyone can play chess, not only can chess, but also all of them can play a good hand of chess...... I don't want to miss it. ”
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, it was really an old lady with white hair, but her spirit was very good......
"Okay, you've all lost. The old lady smiled and looked at the seven people in front of her, "The chess game is good, but it is still a little difficult to win." ”
The old lady is obviously modest, this hour, one pair of seven, the most powerful one, also lost the old lady's nine and a half sons!
The old lady was alone, and she played seven more games of chess, "But there are still people to compare with me?"
Before the seven games of chess, a gold ingot was placed on the side of each chessboard, "There is a chess idiot in Huahua Village, twenty years old, the old body has an unfinished game of chess with him, today, thousands of miles to come to the appointment, but ...... Hua Wuyin died without a shadow, which is a big regret for the old body. But he heard that though he was dead...... But I taught all of you all chess skills, so I want to ask for advice!"
Twenty years ago, there was a school in Huajia Village, which taught nothing else, only chess......
It was none other than the village chief's grandfather who ran the school, but unfortunately...... died five years ago, and it was the flower without a shadow in the old lady's mouth!
"It's the one my father-in-law mentioned!" whispered the little woman next to the village chief, "but it's coming." ”
With a sigh, the father stepped forward, took out a book from his bosom, and gave it to the old lady......
"Senior, this is what Grandpa Hua Wuying asked his grandson to hand over to you. ”
"Sure enough, he looks very much like him. The old lady glanced at her father a few times, and her eyes were too strong, which made her father uncomfortable.
It was a long time before the old lady took the chess game that her father held above her head with both hands.
Most of the people in this village are chess addicts, and they don't know what the village chief and the old lady are talking about, so they jumped on the chess table, "I'll try it with you, but I don't have gold or silver at home, if I lose...... Can it be easy to do it?"
"Absolutely. The old lady also loves to learn chess skills, "Play chess with me, you will get money if you win, and you don't want to share it if you lose...... Since the death of Hua Wuying, the old body is also begging for defeat. ”
