Chapter 8 The Source of Rice Fragrance?
Letting the big green horse run wild, Yun Zheng and Su Shi were immersed in the pleasure brought by speed, and when the big green horse felt tired and gradually slowed down the horse's hooves, Yun Zheng found himself in a strange place.
Su Shi, who was quiet, felt that his ass no longer belonged to him at this time, and he shrugged and wanted to jump off the horse, Yun Zheng smiled, jumped off the horse, and hugged Su Shi down, ignoring Su Shi who was walking with his legs down, and continued to look at the surrounding scenery, here is a small piece of extremely flat plain, a small hill can not be seen, there are dense woods everywhere, the ground is full of rice, has been filled with slurry, and hangs his head heavily, as long as the weather is sunny and exposed to the sun for a few days, the rice here can be harvested.
There is no one around, only the tired birds are returning to the forest, and there are curling cooking smoke rising from the surrounding farmers' homes, although there is no lack of the shepherd boy's flute, but there is no lack of interest in the world, but there are wood hibiscus everywhere, and the farmer's houses are densely covered behind the trees.
led the horse and walked two steps, and found that Su Shi was covering his ass and his face was down, reluctant to go, so he picked up Su Shi and put him on the saddle, it was more comfortable to sit here, the road back was winding, there were many forks, and he couldn't tell where it was the way home.
The rain in Chengdu is the most lingering, like silk and fog, under the light gray clouds, the mountains and the earth have become an ink painting, the slowly flowing river should be the Qingshui River, if you want to go home, you must go down the Qingshui River.
After walking a short distance, I returned disappointed, there was a swamp in front of me, and the swamp was full of dense lotus leaves, not only horses could not walk, but people could not pass.
"If we walk blindly with our eyes closed like this, we won't have to go home today!" Su Shi sat on the horse and said to Yun Zheng disdainfully.
"Will the plan be released?"
"It is said that the old horse knows the way, let the big green horse walk by himself, you can follow behind, can you walk home slowly?" Su Shi looked up arrogantly and looked up at Yun Zheng's stupidity to the extreme.
Yun Zheng glanced at Da Qingma, who was even more confused than himself, and gently slapped Su Shi's ass and said, "Didn't you see me go there, and Da Qingma walked there?" This shows that Lao Ma Zhitu's words are not applicable to Da Qingma, and he wants to find something else. There are too many forks in the road, which one is the way we come? ”
"I'm a child, and this kind of thing depends on the adults." Su Shi saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to play tricks.
Yun Zheng smiled, and saw an old man from a distance slowly walking out of the woods, and hurriedly stepped forward and sang: "The old man is invited, the kid is greedy for fun for a while, and he has lost his way, so dare to ask the old man how to go to Huanhua Creek from here?" ”
The old man looked up at Yun Zheng, and then at Su Shi who was riding on a horse, opened his mouth and scolded: "You young man is not too troublesome." On a rainy day, he sneaked out with his younger brother to run a horse. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? How did the people of Huanhuaxi run so far? This is Jiuqu Creek, as the name suggests, you have to make nine bends to get back to the main road, you wait first. I asked the old servant to take you out, the young people now are really nonsense, they don't care about the life or death of their younger siblings when they are happy, do they think that the wind and cold can't kill people? ”
Yun Zheng hurriedly said, in this era, living a long time is capital, and he dare not offend.
The old man opened the firewood and called inside twice, and immediately an old servant in his fifties came out to greet the old man. Yun Zheng thanked the old man again and was about to leave, but was stopped by the old man: "What's the hurry, drink a bowl of ginger soup and then go, now walking, the cold invades." You are young and strong, the child's clothes are already wet, and the cold air entering the lungs must provoke the disease, Yun Zheng quickly took off the robe on his body and wrapped it around Su Shi's body, and the old man's face looked a little better.
A bowl of warm ginger soup was in his stomach, and his whole body felt warm, so the old man asked the servant to lead Yun Zheng to the place where the path came from, and repeatedly told Yun Zheng not to tell outsiders about the scene here.
The old man's request was very strange, so Yun Zheng and Su Shi wanted to write down the road, after walking for a long time, both Yun Zheng and Su Shi were extremely smart people, Rao was so, and they didn't remember the road, and after they passed through a forest, they had already seen the familiar road. wanted to go back and thank the old servant, Yun Zheng even prepared a tael of broken silver. But the old servant disappeared without a trace.
Yun Zheng took a few steps forward, and the path he crossed when he came was gone, and there were dense vines everywhere, covering the woods tightly.
"Hell!" Su Shi hugged the horse's neck and yelled, constantly urging Yun Zheng to run quickly, something was wrong with this ghost place.
"Shut up, how can there be such a kind ghost willing to pour ginger soup for you, Yun Zheng's mouth is still filled with the taste of ginger soup, and he categorically refuses to believe that he will see a ghost under the blue sky and white sun, the scene just now is really what he has experienced, how can it be fake.
I wanted to push aside the grass and take a closer look, but there was a terrible wolf howl in the distance, and the big green horse paced its hooves restlessly, constantly arching its head to Yun Zheng, it seemed that it didn't want to stay in this ghost place for long.
Yun Zheng pulled the saddle and got on the horse, this time Su Shi was very smart, and he no longer refused to sit in front of Yun Zheng to help him block the wind and rain, but sat behind Yun Zheng, holding his waist tightly, and constantly watching the woods vigilantly.
The big green horse galloped again, and the wolf howl in the distance seemed to be a little closer...... So the speed of the big green horse became even faster, and when he returned to Yun's house, the sweat on the big green horse fell down the fur, Yun Zheng didn't dare to slack off, let Cang'er wrap the big green horse in a blanket, and then led it to walk slowly, until the big green horse's breathing evened out, and then carefully wiped it with a dry cloth to dry its whole body.
When Su Shi saw the Yun family, he slipped off the horse, ran into the house with a rolling belt, and when he saw Lan Lan, he threw himself into his arms and shouted: "Fight ghosts!" "I can't say anything. Yun Er looked enviously at Su Shi's head arching back and forth in Lan Lan's arms, and he also wanted to go up, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he took the hand of the bacon and made a frightened look.
"Ghosts? Where the hell are? Xiao Shi is not afraid, there are many of us, and we are not afraid of ghosts. ”
"Yes, Brother Zheng and I got lost on horseback, walked to a small mountain bag, but couldn't find the way back, and then an old man appeared, invited us to drink ginger soup, and then sent a servant to send us out, but when I turned around, I couldn't see the old servant, Brother Zheng also planned to reward the old servant with a little money, but I couldn't find anyone, and then I heard the wolf howl, and the big green horse carried us all the way back, what I said is true, I don't believe you ask Brother Zheng."
Yun Zheng stood under the eaves and looked up at the sky, his brows were tightly locked, the fingers of his right hand kept expanding and contracting, and after finishing the calculation, he shook his head and began to calculate again......
Lu Qingqing looked at Yun Zheng worriedly, and only after he finished his calculations did he ask softly: "Husband, what Xiao Shi said is true?" ”
Yun Zheng nodded and said to Lu Qingqing: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple, madam, you have lived in Chengdu Mansion for a long time, have you ever heard of a place called Jiuquxi?" ”
Lu Qingqing shook his head and said: "Because the concubine is in the boudoir, she is very yearning for the outside, and she can't go out, so she found a lot of maps to see, and fantasized that she can go to those places one day, this is also the concubine's biggest hobby, I have seen a lot of maps, and I have never heard of such a place as Jiuquxi." ”
"It's easy to say anything else, I didn't have time, it didn't make sense to go for less than an hour, but when I came back, it took more than an hour, perhaps, the weirdness was in the two bowls of ginger soup that Xiao Shi and I drank. But it is clear that those people have no ill will towards us, why is that? ”
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Lan Lan and Bacon were also scared, Su Shi hugged Lan Lan tighter, and Bacon also dragged Yun Er to prevent him from leaving his side.
After Yun Zheng thought for a long time, he laughed, and said to Lu Qingqing and Lan Lan: "This world is very big, and there are many people with strange tempers, they are hermits and are unwilling to associate with ordinary people, so they chose a hidden place to breed, didn't Tao Nanshan write an article called it, we may have inadvertently gone deep into the Peach Blossom Source today, maybe it is called Daoxiangyuan, a very peaceful place, since people don't want others to know, let's forget about him." ”
The window was pushed open suddenly, and Han Lin, who had not been seen for several days, appeared at the window and said, "Are you sure the place you go to is called Jiuquxi?" And not what Baqu Creek, Liuqu Creek? What does it look like there? ”
Lu Qingqing was a little unhappy with Han Lin's unreasonableness, and when he saw that Yun Zheng did not express his displeasure, he spoke more, Han Lin smiled awkwardly, hugged his fists and said: "I just came back, I heard you talk about Jiuquxi, and I was in a hurry, so I forgot the etiquette, please Mrs. Haihan, Yun Zheng, tell me that this is very important." ”
Lu Qingqing squatted down and said politely, "It's okay," and leaned over Yun Zheng's side to listen to what her husband said.
"The ancient chivalry, tautology, light life and death, although it is a bit exaggerated to take the head of a thousand miles, but the rumors of Nie Hongxian and his ilk have never been broken, since Yun Zheng has promised the old man not to talk about things there, then don't talk about it again, since it is harmless to me, why should I be a mouthful person." After thinking for a while, Yun Zheng still gave Han Lin an answer that disappointed him.
Hanlin didn't force Yun Zheng either, and after arching his hand, he quickly disappeared in front of the window, probably wanting to walk the road Yun Zheng walked again, watching Hanlin disappear, Yun Zheng's face was full of sadness, and he didn't think that this matter was simple at all.
Yun Er, bacon has seen Xiaolin's ability, so he is curious about Hanlin's sudden appearance, only Su Shi's mouth is open, he found out for the first time that there is such a magical person in the world! Pointing to the place where the cold forest disappeared, ahhh
