260 Verses An unreliable road
PS: Good morning! At the end of the month, when the pink is flying, Xie Lu Xie voted
Qing's mother also didn't have the ability to take the carriage across the river, of course she had no problem in the past, and naturally she didn't have any ideas, so she could only set up camp and wait for someone who knew the way to show her way, this place, there are roads on the left and right, even if there is a map, you can't see how to go. In other words, this map can only be approximate. So, everyone was mentally prepared to sleep in the wild.
This is a real pure wilderness, different from the Yangjia Village in front, where the eyes see, there are houses, here, there are strange mountains and rocks. When the sun goes down, it will definitely seep .......
The two businessmen brought their own dry food, and when they went out, they were also very careful, and they didn't want to cause more trouble, the two sides greeted each other amicably, and after a simple conversation, the two sat under the tree across the road, and Qing's mother did not understand Yuyue's desire to make friends, and resolutely rejected the proposal to invite the two of them to dine together. At night, the two of them lit the fire, boiled the water and drank, and slept by the fire, Yuyue's side, naturally, also left the fire that was raised to cook rice, still buried the potatoes, hung the pot and put the water and rice, everyone slept together, Yuyue's car was facing outward, protecting another wooden car, there was nothing to do all night, only the sound of wolf howling, so that Yuyue experienced the feeling of a wilderness.
The day dawned, the morning air was cool, the surrounding trees were green, the morning birds were singing, at this time, I heard the sound of mountain songs, a woodcutter sang mountain songs to come, the eight people were overjoyed, and enthusiastically called him over, but he didn't come, he was on the opposite side of the river, Chang Shan stepped forward to ask how to go this way, and this happy woodcutter inquired, did not say three words, everyone put a label on the forehead of this woodcutter. This is a talkative and knowledgeable woodcutter, and the woodcutter said: "This wooden bridge has been around for several years, and it was washed away by the peach blossom flood last month. ”
"But there is still a way to go, we have to go to Songlou County in front!"
"Go down the river, and turn left at the end of the road, and turn left at the end of the road, and turn left into a road called the three forks," said the woodcutter, after taking a sip of water.
"Although there are three forks carved on the rock at the intersection. But there is only one road, go straight along this road, and then climb this one-peaked mountain again. ”
The woodcutter, apparently a serious man, affirmed:
"Although this mountain is called a single peak, its mountains are very high and steep. I can't count it. Who knows that among the elders of the Dao, who is so ignorant. Random names. I walked fifteen miles along this three-way road, passing through Xiaohe Village. After walking another 20 miles, we will arrive at the mouth of Xiangxikou, which is the place where the streams and rivers of several nearby mountains flow into the Qingjiang River. Turning around, and entering the mountain, along the bank of the stream up the mountain. Walking five miles, there is a 'blessing temple'. This temple can be seen across the stream, you have to walk along the bank of the right stream, you can't enter the temple. It is necessary to walk along the bank of the left stream to enter the temple, if you don't enter the temple to burn incense, then go straight to the thirty-mile road, which is Songlou County,"
While listening, Yuyue silently memorized in her heart, returned to the carriage, and added the path that the man said, completing the map.
So everyone walked along this road, which was bordered by a stream on the left and woods on the right, but occasionally there were rock walls exposed, and they went down the mountain along the mountain stream and in the morning light. The Chixi River turned three times, taking everyone down to the river, and on the way it also converged into a deep pool of water, and there was a stone tablet on the pond, which was engraved: Huashen Lake. Yuyue takes a closer look, the scenery is beautiful, the pool water is crystal clear, however, it is called the lake, it is too, Qitian is just a pool of water, everyone rested on the side for half an hour, mainly because the road is too bumpy, the horses are not light, Yuyue secretly mixed some space water into the pool water from the fine Xin, which made the mental state of the two horses a lot better, after eating half a summer, safflower cut the grass on the side of the road, shaking the spirit, and going on the road again, the water of the Huaxi River flowed happily on the rocks, which made everyone look in high spirits all the way, and moved forward with the streamIt is surrounded by towering peaks, and the trees and rocks are hidden from each other. I walked ten miles in such a landscape. Sure enough, the road came to the end, and the oncoming rock was engraved with the three big characters of 'three forks', and the handwriting was really not flattering.
The river turned again, the road also turned with it, the river went down, the road is a little to the meaning of the road, everyone has no way to go, can only go straight along this road, along this three-way road walked fifteen miles, the scenery on the way is different, sure enough, not from time to time, I saw Xiaohe Village. At this time, not only Yuyue felt that the place names that came along the way were too unreliable, but Qing's mother felt funny, Xiaohe Village was a little far away from the river, and it was a small village in the middle of the mountain, and I heard the people in the village say that not a single river passed through the village, and everyone drank water or something by digging wells...... I bought vegetables in the village, and naturally I went to buy chickens or something, and I didn't have to think about fresh meat, I only bought a few bacon, and I happily ate a good meal at the edge of the village, according to the woodcutter, this has to be fifty miles away from Songlou County, and it is estimated that it will be dark in the city, right? Mother Qing decided to walk twenty miles and stop at the mouth of this Xiangxi. After eating, pack up the rattan box, fill the bamboo pot they are carrying with water, and everyone will go on the road, the work of filling water is Yuyue took the initiative to ask, go to the villager's house to ask for it, of course, that's what you said...... The water inside is space water.
After everyone walked for another twenty miles, the sky was almost dark, and the mouth of Xiangxi had arrived, and sure enough, the streams and rivers in the vicinity gathered here, and then became wide, and the stone tablet by the water was also engraved with the word 'Qingjiang'. From a distance, halfway up the mountainside, sure enough, the appearance of the temple is estimated to be what "Blessing Temple". Everyone was not in the mood to go into the temple to burn incense, anyway, there were all kinds of things on the carriage, and they didn't want to take the wrong road, so they naturally found a suitable place to camp at the mouth of this stream, and began to allow cooking and camping.
Along the way, these two businessmen surnamed Lu also became familiar with everyone, and naturally came up to talk: "Everyone, are you going to rest here?" ”
"No, it's getting dark, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so you want to go straight on the thirty-mile road and rush to Songlou County,"
The horses of the two were also very tired, and the two of them thought about it and gave up:
"Let's rest with you, or are you thoughtful, it won't be long, it's getting dark, and I don't know if I can find a place to sleep." These two people are still embarrassed to say what they have in their hearts, after all, the two big men are a little speechless when they say that they are afraid.
Everyone set up camp and talked to each other. Zhilu Dao, a group of people, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he accompanied this little boy out to play,
"The little boy is only a little over ten years old, and he has begun to travel, and sure enough, the people who read are different!"
Mother Qing smiled but said nothing.
"We will do business, it's okay to work hard, it's doomed, the businessman sits on Jia, and when we make enough money, we also open a shop, so we don't have to run, you scholars, this has to travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, and it is not much lighter than us." The two businessmen surnamed Lu are quite able to understand things.
"You guys are collecting leather goods, come out at this time, can you receive them? I've heard that it's all harvested in winter! ”
"Heavy snow covers the mountain, although this skin is good, but can not be taken out, really want to collect ah, this year can be harvested in all seasons, the summer skin is not abundant, the price is still appropriate, we buy more, on the good skin, but also sell well in winter...... But the road is difficult to travel in winter, and receiving goods will really tire people to death. ”
Yuyue listened to it, and it was right to think about it, this way, if it was winter, hehe, freeze to death! Sure enough, summer is the travel season.
After each of them ate, it was dark, and there was naturally nothing to say all night.
Although the two groups of people had communicated, they still kept a certain distance at night. This gives Yuyue a full understanding of human nature, and everyone has a sense of precaution......
The next day, when the sky was bright, everyone got up, freshened up, and made breakfast, yesterday, the two also learned from the little boy Yu, put the pot with water and rice and hung it on the fire, and drank hot porridge early in the morning, and was so happy that he said:
"Threesome, there must be my teacher, sure enough, the sage is right, we have been walking for many years, but this method is the first time I learned from you, it can be seen that people who can read are flexible in their brains."
"This pot rack in your house is also easy to use, sometimes we have to find stones to build a stove is also difficult, this kind of shelf is good, we will also go to Song Lou tomorrow to fight one!"
The two of them think they have really learned a lot! Banxia is stingy, naturally I don't want to take out the sleeping bags of a few of my people to show them, learn to learn, learn X, have you paid the money?
After breakfast, he brought water to extinguish the fire, and poured the fire into mud, Yuyue was relieved, packed his luggage, and went on the road, not far from thirty miles, the scenery was beautiful, and he was in a good mood, and before noon, he entered Songlou County. In this place, the style of the building is a little different from Zhangjiayingzi, Yuyue understands a little in her heart, she comes out this time, maybe the harvest will be great, that is, these buildings will have their own merits, not as many so-called tourist resorts in modern times, it is simply the same as a thousand people, and it is the same wherever you go!
The merchant surnamed Lu had a store he was familiar with, so he took Yuyue and them to live together, but after hearing them talk about the situation in the store, Qing's mother refused:
"When we came out, the lord and wife of the family confessed that we should live in the hotel better, otherwise I am afraid that the people will be too mixed and it will not be ......safe."
The two looked at Yuyue's master, and it was really too young, so they smiled and said goodbye, but still pointed to the front:
"This mother, in front of Dongcheng, it is a quiet place, and there is also a good inn, we foot merchants can't go in, let's go to Nancheng, don't pass by!"
Qing's mother also knew that this Dongcheng was generally the residence of rich and noble families, so naturally Xie and Xie showed the way, and everyone walked to Dongcheng. (To be continued......)
