17. Winter River
On the way back to the bamboo house, the sun was already setting. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Qu Yiying gently held on to the window curtain of the carriage with his hand, and looked out. Further on, a row of deep green willow trees obscures the view ahead, and behind the willow branches swaying in the wind, there is a faint white mist that spreads above the sky, and there are waterfalls and the sound of people playing.
Ahead seems to be a river.
"Zhongli, why are we taking the same path this time as we came?" There was surprise in her voice, and she noticed that she hadn't seen such a view when she came.
Hearing this, Zhongli slowed down his car, turned around and promised inside, "That's the case, my subordinates saw that it was not too early at this time, and they estimated that the south gate they passed through when they came earlier had been closed, so they wanted to go out of the city at the west side gate." The subordinate didn't tell Madame because ......"
"I'm just asking, you can drive with peace of mind." Qu Yiying pulled the curtain wider, and a hint of narrowness appeared in her eyes, because she felt that with her wisdom, she must have taken this into account, right?
The carriage continued to move forward, and as she passed the willow trees, the white mist that dispersed in the air became thicker, and she slowly stretched out her hand, and she could still feel a damp warmth, like a soft spring breeze, and she opened her mouth slightly, looking at the moisture in her hand in amazement.
The water is hot.
"This hot spring river ......," she said to Zhongli through the curtain of the car, "There are always a lot of people coming to play?" "When the greenery is gone, you can see the white mist that is steaming, like a sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, and the clear and warm river flows slowly from west to east under the water vapor in the air.
Zhongli smiled heartily and looked to the right, his tone was full of pride, "Yes, the Winter River is steaming all year round, especially from the beginning of autumn, the water temperature will gradually rise, until next spring, the river that runs through the east and west sides of Yuliu City will have foggy scenery, so every autumn and winter, many tourists from all over the world come thousands of miles to stay in our Nanchu for a month or two, just to enjoy this famous southern wonder." ”
Winter River ......
Qu Yiying listened intently to Zhongli's introduction of the hot spring river next to him, and he was secretly thinking in his heart. This jade city is full of gentle and beautiful scenery, surrounded by water on all sides, it is actually a clean and quiet water city?
She lowered her head to think about things, and suddenly there was a loud noise in her ears.
"Grandpa Xiao, who sells sugar gourds, is here!"
"Go, go......"
"Grandpa Xiao, I haven't seen you sell gourds for almost half a month."
"yes, where have you been?"
Surrounded by the bustling pile of children was a white-haired and white-clothed old man with a kind face. He was carrying a basket of red sugar gourds in his left hand, and was slowly handing out gourds to those children with a smile, "I, these days, ......"
"Old man Xiao, I haven't been seen for so long, do you think that the people south of our Donghe haven't bought enough, so let's go elsewhere?" It was a teenager who was a head taller than the other children, seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin figure and a delicate appearance. In addition to the short sword he was carrying, and the proud posture, when a pair of watery black eyes were circulating, it still made people feel pity.
Hearing this, the old man coughed slowly, looked at the young man in front of him, his face became a little serious, and he said, "Xiao Su, how did you talk to grandpa?" Then he paused, slowed down, took out a sugar gourd from the basket, and smiled, "Grandpa has been away from home for so long, don't you want grandpa?" ”
When the man named Xiao Su heard this, he suddenly said to the children around Grandpa Xiao, "Get out of the way!" ”
When he got close to the child's pile, he immediately changed his face again, and pouted aggrievedly, "Who made you disappear suddenly in three days, and no one will solve my grandson's problem for me......"
"Whose child did you hit again?" Grandpa Xiao was angry.
"It's not who to fight, who is still my opponent around here? I don't bother to fight with one yet. Xiao Su said leisurely, as if he was how old he was, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that he was far away, and hurriedly jumped to his feet and said, "Oh, it's not this, it's the grandson who wants to learn from the teacher, the grandson the day before yesterday at the South City Gate, met Yifeng Shen handsome, wisdom and medical skills are rare in the world, that demeanor is ......."
The grandfather and grandson were talking together, and the carriage in which Qu Yiying was sitting had gradually left.
Qu Yiying lay by the window, looked at the funny and awkward young man, and raised his eyes to look at the blue, clear sky, and those soft white clouds, and slowly lost his anger when he saw Wu Zuohou, and regained his calm. She took out the pear-shaped bottle in the carriage drawer, looked at it carefully, and began to mumble and complain, "No wonder Laneige doesn't like you anymore, look at what you do, it's not likeable." ”
After a while, the voices outside faded away, leaving only the sound of wheels rolling. Suddenly, Zhongli said to himself, "These children are really enviable. The words passed through a curtain and loomed into Qu Yiying's ears.
She didn't hear clearly, and thought that Zhongli was discussing things with herself, so she brushed the curtain and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
"Huh?" Zhongli seemed to be lost in thought, startled by her.
"What are you talking to me about?" She asked again.
Hearing this, Zhongli turned his gaze, stretched out his free right hand, and pointed at the group of children who were still huddled together, and said with a soft face, "My subordinates think that it is really a blessing that these children can eat sugar gourds at this age." ”
"Isn't that normal? When I was a child, I loved to eat it, sweet and sour. Qu Yiying let go of the curtain and sat back disappreciatively.
Hearing this, Zhongli recalled the past, revealed his true feelings, and his title inadvertently changed, "When I was young, I also loved to eat those, but my family was poor, and I was often poor, so where did I have spare money to buy." At that time, my mother told me to let me practice martial arts well, and when I grow up, I will naturally have the money to buy sugar gourds......"
Speaking of this, his rough and low voice suddenly felt a little strange, "Now that I'm older, I have the ability to buy a lot of sugar gourds, but I don't have the heart to eat sweets anymore." ”
Qu Yiying listened to Zhongli's words quietly, and his originally calm heart also had a little turmoil, and he was about to say something, but after hearing him sigh, he laughed loudly, as if he saw the moon through the clouds, and said freely, "So I feel now that life can't only be composed of the days or days in the future, rather than thinking about what to do in the future, I would rather live every day in peace." ”
