Chapter 723: Peach Blossom Valley
After Liu Zheng led people closer to this village, some old people inside noticed the whereabouts of Liu Zheng and the others, took the initiative to approach, felt very surprised, and asked Liu Zheng and the others who they were.
"Several, who are you?"
An old man with a beard came to Liu Zheng and the others on crutches, stopped Liu Zheng, and opened his mouth to ask Liu Zheng.
Liu Zhengzheng wanted to find someone to ask about some things in this peach blossom garden, and when he saw that an old man took the initiative to ask, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately answered politely at the old man.
"Uncle, we are from Jingzhou, we took a boat to Youxi to make an appointment, who knows, we ran into trouble on the way, and we came to this place unintentionally, what kind of place is this?"
Liu Zheng replied simply, showing respect and politeness, plus Liu Zheng and Guo Jia are not fierce and vicious, especially Guo Jia looks like a scholar, the old man is not too wary of Liu Zheng and Guo Jia.
"This place is called Peach Blossom Valley, it's a paradise, you are outsiders."
"Our Peach Blossom Valley has been lively recently, and no one has come in for hundreds of years, but in the last year, there have been several batches."
The old man didn't intend to study Liu Zheng's identity in detail, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Zheng was surprised.
"Anyone else has been here?"
Liu Zheng was stunned, according to Tao Yuanming's book, this Peach Blossom Spring, there should have been no outsiders here for hundreds of years, Liu Zheng has discovered the Peach Blossom Source now, he should be the first person to enter the paradise.
It's just that the old man's words surprised Liu Zheng very much, so he wanted to know who it was.
After all, listening to the tone of the old man, it seems that the people who came here before Liu Zheng and them have only arrived here in the last year.
"Yes, just a few months ago, a few injured people came to our Peach Blossom Valley, and recently these people have recovered from their injuries and are helping us to farm."
The old man didn't have much heart for Liu Zheng, so he spoke directly.
In this regard, Liu Zheng was even more curious, but he didn't dare to directly ask the old man to introduce him, but complimented the old man a few words and talked about the peach blossom paradise.
After a few words, both the old man and Liu Zheng had some questions.
The old man invited Liu Zheng and a few people to sit down in the house and chat slowly.
Liu Zheng didn't mind. Invited to go.
Although this place is just a paradise in the mountains, but some of the buildings and agricultural tools in it are not ordinary, Liu Zheng walked while looking around here, the waterwheel, overturned, columbs and other tools are very well-made, it seems that the people here are only in manufacturing.
And the houses of each family are built very well, the carpentry skills are exquisite, not to mention the simple Chen, and there is a bit of elegance in it.
Not long after walking, in front of a two-story courtyard, the old man invited Liu Zheng to enter it.
Pushing open the door, the old man took the initiative to enter, and then sat down on a stone table.
"Xiaocui, a guest is here, make tea."
The old man shouted into the house, and it didn't take long for a silver bell to come from inside.
"Hey, grandpa is back?"
A short time later, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old ran out of it.
The little girl held a teapot in her hand, walked out, and poured a pot of tea for Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others in front of the table.
Liu Zheng was more cautious, and did not drink directly, but asked about the old man's Peach Blossom Valley.
"Uncle, does this Peach Blossom Valley belong to that state and county?"
"Young man, this place does not belong to any state or county, it is a paradise, if you really want to say what kind of place we are, we don't know ourselves, old man, I have been living in this valley for as long as I can remember, and there are only a few hundred families in the whole valley."
"And that kind of thing?"
Although Liu Zheng had long known the origin of this Peach Blossom Spring, he still pretended to know nothing and showed a look of surprise.
"Yes, it is said that our ancestors here are, in the late Qin Dynasty, in order to escape the war, the whole village moved into this Peach Blossom Valley, and has never gone out, and after hundreds of years, it has become what it is now."
"In hundreds of years, no one has come, but recently, with your arrival."
"Uncle, I don't know if I can ask more, where are those people who came here before, and I want to see them now?"
After chatting a few words, Liu Zheng also understood a little about this peach blossom spring, but he was more curious about those who came here before him.
Regarding this, the old man did not hide it from Liu Zheng.
"You want to see those who came here before? No problem, I'll let Cui call them. ”
After that, the old man gave the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl an order, and the little girl sighed, and immediately jumped into the courtyard and walked outside.
The old man is also hospitable, at this time, Liu Zheng and a few people in this courtyard asked about the Peach Blossom Valley, and the old man answered them one by one, and there was nothing to hide.
At the same time, the old man was also very interested in the things outside Liu Zheng's mouth, when the old man knew that the Qin Dynasty had perished, and now it was the Han Dynasty, he expressed his great amazement, and then learned that the outside was now in chaos, and when it was in troubled times, he felt even more that it was still safe, free, and free in this Peach Blossom Valley.
Liu Zheng roughly learned about this Peach Blossom Valley from the mouth of this old man, Peach Blossom Valley was originally a village, and the collective relocation into it, after hundreds of years of reproduction, it was still able to barely maintain harmony.
There is only one village in the valley, and the old man is the clan elder, and basically everything is decided by the old man.
A village with a population of 1,000 is not very powerful, but under the management of this old man, it is very harmonious, and no one has ever wanted to go out.
Just when Liu Zheng was still sighing at this paradise, the little girl who left before came back again, and there were a few people who came back with this little girl.
Those few people, looking for the sound, entered the courtyard, and as soon as they appeared, Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others next to the king's stone table looked at it.
It was still one of them, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise and called out Liu Zheng's name.
"Liu Zhengda is in charge!"
When Liu Zheng heard this call, he was a little surprised, and then looked at the person who called out his name.
But after looking around, I didn't recognize who this person was.
"You are?"
Liu Zheng looked at that person and felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen him for a while.
