Chapter 119: Encounter Again
The beauty of Yangzhou is indescribable.
The ancients wrote a lot of poems about Yangzhou, such as "fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", "ride a crane down to Yangzhou", "dream of Yangzhou once in ten years, and win the name of Qinglou Bo Xing". "The twilight grows deep trees, and the small building is under the slanting sun. Who knows that Zhuxi Road, the song is Yangzhou. "Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, it is better to roll up the bead curtain. "Blah blah bla Here, it is impossible to tell them all.
It's the end of summer, the hottest time of the year, and the women on the street are eager to wear only a few things to get rid of the summer heat.
The transparent and narrow clothes make these beautiful and gentle women in the water town become as charming as flowers, looking at the graceful figure, it makes people's hearts ripple, like ripples.
Legend has it that after Yu ruled the water, the world was divided into Kyushu, and Yangzhou was one of them.
But Yangzhou's limelight should have started since Emperor Yang of Sui went to Yangzhou. An ancient canal road, the city palace is picturesque, the catkins are flying, the Qionghua is enchanting, and the fat powder is everywhere. Thinking about it a little, it makes people yearn for it, and they can't wait to be born at that time.
Yangzhou used to be an important political and commercial town, but also a good place to live.
Literati, eunuchs, businessmen and wealthy people have always liked to live in Yangzhou.
Here, they each have their own pleasures, gardening and foresting, reciting poems, living a paradise-like life. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu served as the secretary of the Huainan Festival in Yangzhou. "Du Mu Biography" recorded: "(Du) Mu in Yangzhou, every night for the narrow oblique travel, so to become happy, no will, such a few years. He himself wrote in the poem: "The down-and-out rivers and lakes carry wine, and the waist is slender and the palm is light." Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the name of Qinglou Bo Xing! There are also verses of "100,000 yuan wrapped around the waist, riding a crane down to Yangzhou".
Thinking about the lives of the ancients at that time, it makes people want to travel through the past and become the masters of that moment.
Savor it. You will find that the ancient city of Yangzhou, like a small jasper with clear eyebrows, delicate and soft famous beauties, she is unique and charming gentle, and inadvertently reveals the rich, easy-going, traditional, comfortable and considerate in the lightness, so that you have endless aftertaste.
Since ancient times, there must be spiritual grass in famous mountains. Then, where there are beautiful women haunting, there must also be delicious food.
And so it is.
The beautiful scenery and beauties of Yangzhou do not need to be said, the good food, the reputation of Huaiyang cuisine is like thunder, and it is necessary to taste it in Yangzhou. In addition, there is also the famous "Tea House", which is famous for its variety of fine sweets. If, if you can steal half a day of leisure. Hire the "rower" who is "really like a watermelon" to swing in the Slender West Lake, and maybe you can meet the wonderful "boat lady" who is dressed freshly and gently and affectionately.
Cai Hongming is wandering around Yangzhou City with such thoughts.
In this kind of city full of ancient charm, he never goes to the streets made of concrete and steel, and often likes to walk slowly in the old streets and alleys with ancient flavor. Because in such a place, there are often rare discoveries. For example, the ancient eaves corners, the paintings under the old houses, and the carvings that I saw by accident are all full of surprises.
He wandered around casually, and when he was hungry, he would find an old restaurant to eat, and it tasted really good. Take a break after eating. He walked slowly along the Yangzhou River.
On both sides of the river are old houses, some of which have been renovated.
The local government seems to have put some effort into it. The walls were plastered with white plaster. The white walls and gray tiles, lined with willows by the river, and the flowing water look poetic. Cai Hongming took the fan he bought, and walked swaying while fanning. Very pleasant.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, a crowd suddenly appeared in front of them, and they gathered around the door of a house to watch the excitement, and there was a burst of scolding from inside, and they were curious. And he walked over.
"Where's the money? Where is the money, don't tell me there is no money. ”
"Kill you, kill you, you big scoundrel, let your mother go."
Approaching, Cai Hongming looked in and saw a man grabbing a woman's long hair and scolding loudly over there. The woman lowered her head and just cried. A little girl next to her kept slapping the man with a small plastic shovel. Seeing that the man still didn't let go, he threw away the small shovel, grabbed the man's leg, and bit it hard.
"Ah let go, let go, ah let go"
The man grabbed the girl away, looked at the bitten and bloody leg, and was angry, "Fuck, you dare to bite Lao Tzu, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to beat you, today Lao Tzu has to teach you a good lesson." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to hit the little girl. The woman who was originally grabbed by his hair hurriedly hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, for fear that she would be beaten. The little girl was not afraid of her, puffed out her little mouth, and glared at him angrily.
"Look." The man angrily struck over, and suddenly felt his hand being caught. When I turned my head, it was a young man.
"What are you doing, she is my wife, what does it matter to you if I beat my child, let it go."
"I'm not your wife, we've divorced a long time ago." The woman who bowed her head and cried loudly at this time, and then began to cry again. The voice is desolate, the voice is tragic, and it is heartwarming.
"You're not my dad, I don't have a dad like you." The girl who was held in the arms of the woman also shouted loudly.
"What if you're her husband? Beating women and children like this, do you still want to have face? Cai Hongming shouted angrily.
"What do I do about your mother's shit, hurry up and get out, or I'll beat you." The man scolded viciously.
But he obviously scolded the wrong object, and seeing that he repeatedly burst into foul language, Cai Hongming stabbed him in the ribs with a sharp finger. In an instant, the man only felt an unspeakable pain between his ribs, and immediately squatted on the ground and wailed, unable to speak anymore. howled for a while, and saw that Cai Hongming was not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly ran away.
The crowd of onlookers saw him go and said:
"This guy is so bad."
"It's not, it's shameless to ask people for money after getting divorced."
"I used to see that he was not a thing, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing, so I still have to look at the right eyes when marrying, that is, I would rather not marry than choose this kind of person."
When the matter was over, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
The woman was still lying on the ground crying, so Cai Hongming took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it over, "Are you okay?" ”
The little girl seemed to recognize him and called out "uncle". Cai Hongming touched her head with pity. These two are the mother and daughter of Kou Yunxiang, who he met last time when he came to Yangzhou and sold him gem-inlaid gold jewelry, but he didn't expect it to be such a meeting.
Kou Yunxiang also recognized him, wiped her tears, stood up, and said, "Let you see the smile, sit in the house!" ”
When I came to the house, I saw a mess, broken things everywhere.
Kou Yunxiang quickly cleaned up, made a cup of tea and handed it to Cai Hongming, while she sat quietly with her daughter in her arms. His face was haggard, his eyes were lonely, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What's the matter, aren't you divorced? Why is he still pestering you. Cai Hongming asked.
When Kou Yunxiang heard his question, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn't want to do this either, but who knew that the bastard didn't know where to get the news that she had sold her gold jewelry, so he came to her and asked her for money, saying what was pre-marital property, and it would cost half of one person. It's ridiculous, these are all things handed down from her ancestors, what kind of premarital property. Besides, he walked in empty-handed, and there was nothing at all. That's it, so she didn't give him a penny.
After the bastard came again and again and didn't get the money, he began to scold, but he didn't expect to make a move today, causing her to lose face in front of everyone. If it weren't for her daughter, she would have wanted to jump into the river and be gone.
"He doesn't look like he's going to give up, what are you going to do?"
"Take one step at a time, I'm a woman's family, what's the way. Woowoo"
Kou Yunxiang cried again.
It is said that women are made of water, and it is true. From the time she came in to the present, Cai Hongming's tears have not stopped when she sees her, and I don't know if there is a water pipe in the back, otherwise where would so much water come from.
This woman is also pitiful, typical of the inhuman encounter. Cai Hongming's compassion rose, he thought about it, and said, "I don't know if you would like to live in a different place?" ”
"Hmm" Hearing his words, Kou Yunxiang looked up at him curiously.
"My hometown was originally in southern Fujian, and then I moved to the northwest. My dad owned a pharmacy over there that treated people's bones, and I had my own snack bar and a big farm. If you'd like, you might as well come and help me. Live in a different environment, lest the man come back to him. Also give your daughter a good space to grow, so as not to leave a psychological shadow, what do you think? ”
Kou Yunxiang didn't expect him to say this, although she didn't have anything to be attached to this place, but after all, it was the place where she lived since she was a child, and she couldn't help but hesitate to leave for a while.
Seeing her like this, Cai Hongming said again: "You can also go to see it first, and if you don't feel good, you can come back again, just treat it as a trip to relax." ”
Kou Yunxiang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to go out to avoid that bastard, so she responded.
In order to prevent the man from coming back to find trouble, Cai Hongming asked her to take her daughter to live in a hotel. Thinking that she would leave sooner or later, Kou Yunxiang was ruthless, packed up her things and left with him. Sure enough, after they were gone, the man returned with a few people. It's a pity that Kou Yunxiang's mother and daughter have already left with Cai Hongming, and they can be regarded as escaping. (To be continued......)
