Chapter 90: What can be thought, what can be remembered?
When Qin Feng saw Wei Ying's posture, he was naturally full of excitement and joy. Because it is obvious that Wei Ying has decided to enter Qin.
The sun has not yet risen, and the vast mountains on both sides of the river are as brilliant as brocade.
The big river goes south from the desert clouds, rushes to the Taolin Heights for thousands of miles, crosses the Pusaka, crosses the Han Valley, wraps the pillars, swallows the three gates, and spreads out among the vast mountain plains, and goes to the east in a mighty way.
In the early part of the river turning south and east, the river opened up all kinds of precipitous wonders.
This "pillar of the river, passing through the three gates" is the most incredible magical creation at the east bend of the river.
The pillar was originally a lonely mountain, standing on the road, blocking the east of the great river.
Dayu controls the water, and all the mountains and mausoleums are watered, and all the waterways are chiseled.
The river blocks the pillar mountain, and Dayu breaks the mountain from both sides to the river.
The central main peak is isolated in the water, the river water flows, wraps the mountain and passes by, the mountain is like a pillar through the sky in the water, and everyone is called the pillar mountain.
The so-called mainstay has since become an immortal allusion. The river diverges from both sides of the pillar, and the central pillar and the peaks on both sides are like the three gates of the river, and the people of the time call it the three gates.
To the west of this pillar and to the east of Hangu is a reckless wasteland formed by the alluvial waters of the great river over the long years.
At a glance, the reeds on both sides of the bank are vast, and there are no people, only a simple and majestic stone pavilion appears and disappears among the reeds and grass.
Not far from the stone pavilion is a small ferry crossing, two wooden boats cross the big rock used as a pier, and a flock of water birds hovering and chirping in the boats. Among the reeds, you can see the red and white horses, coming on horseback, pointing to the ferry, talking to each other. Gradually approaching, but it was Wei Ying and Bai Xue.
Last night, Wei Ying returned to the Shushui River Valley, where Bai Xue and Aunt Mei were sorting out the books and slips he needed to take away, along with a box retrieved from the cemetery and the law books in Bai Xue's family's collection, a total of two large boxes full of two large boxes.
When they saw Wei Ying returning, they packed up their bookcases and packed up their dinner.
After the meal, Wei Ying told Bai Xue about going to Pang Juan Mansion, and Bai Xue couldn't help laughing and crying.
Aunt Mei shouted happily next to her: "Yes! I'm so angry with this little eye. ”
After a moment of joy, Wei Ying told about the strange warnings he had encountered on the way back and his various speculations about the identity of this person.
Bai Xue was very alert, pondered for a while, and proposed to leave Wei immediately tonight.
Wei Ying originally wanted to make arrangements for Bai Xue and leave two days late, but Bai Xue insisted again and again, so he agreed.
Within an hour, the three of them packed all the necessary supplies, and Aunt Mei stayed behind to transport the books and prepare the ships from the trade routes. Wei Ying and Bai Xue carefully chose the westbound path, and at the end of the fourth watch, they flew out of the valley and headed straight for the selected ferry.
When the red sun is about to rise, the desolate Gudu is already in sight.
This ferry port is called Maojin Gudu, although it is desolate and dilapidated, it is the closest ferry port to the west into Hangu Pass.
Qin Feng followed from a distance at this time, and also arrived at Maojin Gudu.
The Maojin ferry is located at the intersection of the water flowing into the river.
In the early Spring and Autumn Period, it was called Maorongyi, and it was a nomadic area of Maorong, a branch of the Rongdi tribe.
Later, the Rongdi tribe flooded in the Central Plains, and the Duke of Qi Huan united the princes nine times to expel the Rongdi tribe who invaded the Central Plains from all directions.
In several bloody battles, the remnants of the Maorong tribe were also driven out of the Central Plains. This land with abundant water and grass but unsuitable for cultivation has since been reduced to a barren grassy valley.
The ferry port opened up by the Maorong people has also become a wilderness ancient ferry. Some scholars who love historic sites are grateful for the great work of Qi Huangong, so they built a thatched pavilion on the ruins of the ancient castle of Maorongyi, in order to make a nostalgic memory.
Dozens of miles on the south bank of Maojindu is the natural danger of Hangu. Entering Hangu Pass in the west, it will take half a day to reach the territory controlled by the Qin State.
Seeing that she had arrived at the Maoting Pavilion, Bai Xue smiled and said: "Thousands of miles to send you, you must say goodbye in the end." Let's take the last stretch of the road. ”
"yes, we should go." Wei Ying smiled and dismounted, holding out a hand to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue jumped off the horse with Wei Ying's hand. At this time, the summer sun is spraying out, and the morning sun is shining on the snowy face and sweating.
Wei Ying took out a white sweat towel from his arms and handed it over, "Little sister, wipe your sweat." ”
Bai Xue's bright eyes looked at Wei Ying affectionately, a flush flew on her face, her eyelashes curled up and she said coquettishly: "You come to wipe it." ”
Wei Ying looked at Bai Xue's beautiful face, and slowly stretched out his trembling hand and gently wiped it on her broad white forehead.
Bai Xue squinted her eyes slightly, but her body shook slightly, and she snuggled on Wei Ying's shoulder.
A strange sensation that he had never experienced in his life, like thunder and lightning, swept around Wei Ying, he suddenly threw away the reins of his horse, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly in his arms, his lips involuntarily pressed against the hot white cheeks and trembling lips.
Snow let out a low groan and fell limply into the deep reeds. The two horses neighed at each other, and the vast green waves of reeds and grass overwhelmed their masters.
Qin Feng also put down the binoculars and didn't look at it again, but just waited silently.
After a long time, the two of them floated up from the long waves of reeds. Bai Xue looked at the surging river under the morning glow, "I really want to turn into the water of the river and accompany you to the west." ”
Wei Ying hugged Bai Xue's shoulder: "I, I want to stay, and I will always be with you." ”
"Out of you? Is this true? Bai Xue laughed.
Wei Ying laughed for a while, "If I'm really a businessman, how good is it to be your White Gate Boss?" ”
"What a businessman, where do I want you to come from?" Snow chuckled.
"A cloth dress, there are beautiful women. It seems that the creation is fair. Wei Ying exaggerated and made an intoxicated look, which made Bai Xue laugh.
After laughing for a while, Wei Ying said with a straight face: "Little sister, I still have to sue you for a big thing." Bai Xue was surprised: "Big deal? I don't know? ”
Wei Ying nodded, "This matter is quite troublesome, because I didn't think of a proper countermeasure, so I didn't tell you." Gongzi Wei has a bad heart, and wants to include you as the queen of Wei, or does he want me to communicate with you from it? ”
Bai Xue took a long breath and said with a smile: "Don't you communicate anymore?" ”
Wei Ying laughed, "What do you think?" Bai Xue took a sip lightly and smiled brightly: "You can go with confidence." I thought it was so big that it scared people's hearts. ”
Wei Ying said: "That person last night said that there was an entanglement within three days, I think it must be Gongzi Wei who wants to force me to pull you out." You'll have to be careful. ”
Bai Xue smiled: "If you don't leave, how can I not come out?" Why should I come out when you're gone? If you don't see me, won't this matter be annihilated? Bai Xue doesn't want to see anyone, and no one will ever want to find her. Really? ”
Wei Ying smiled: "Yes, there is no flame in the sky, how can there be ordinary traces?" ”
Bai Xue blushed and laughed in a low voice: "Only you know my secrets." Wei Ying laughed and said, "Actually, I really like that little brother in cloth." ”
Bai Xuejiao said angrily: "Yo, then let him follow you." ”
It was already three poles in the morning, the morning wind shook the reeds, and a small boat drifted towards the ferry, and Aunt Mei beckoned from afar on the boat.
Qin Feng only saw it at this time, it was Aunt Mei.
"Aunt Mei is coming so fast, let's go." Wei Ying sighed reluctantly.
"Wait a minute." Bai Xue advised: "The deacon of the inn in Liyang is my father's doorman, but he is actually a hidden man. You stay there and don't leave, and he'll help you. I've stored 10,000 gold there for you to need, don't be stingy. ”
Wei Ying was stunned, "Wan Jin? You, if the Qin State also wants to use money to carry out activities, I will leave immediately. ”
"Leave? Where to go? ”
"Boating on the lake and sea with you, like Fan Lixishi, I will never be involved in political affairs."
Bai Xue sighed leisurely, "You have this to say, white snow is enough." The ancients said that there was thunder and lightning in winter, frost and snow in summer, but the trend of cold and heat was not easy, and the so-called small changes were not enough to hinder the big festival. As long as the heart is right, money may not be able to be used in officialdom. The gentleman's internal nature, strong and strong, vicious and hateful, when he first entered the Qin State, he should not retreat with the flaws of officialdom. ”
Wei Ying felt a deep shock again. This woman seems to have been born to be his confidante.
She has such a nuanced insight into the waves of his soul, and she is so careful to care for the small scars of his spiritual character.
The first time he appeared in his daughter's cemetery, she shattered his arrogance, coldness and paranoid self-esteem, and shocked him like never before.
If it is still a pure emotional world, the daughter's family has natural carefulness and profundity, but today it is the way of government, and it is the strongest point of Wei Ying's pride in the world.
This young daughter put forward such an exhortation full of the vicissitudes of life, which just touched the weakness of his heart - more than strong but not flexible, calm and introspective and still lacking in the mind of accepting all rivers.
In all fairness, Wei Ying also knew that he still needed to be tempered, but for the first time in his life, he was pointed out as flawed, and guilt arose.
He bowed deeply to Bai Xue and said frankly and sincerely: "Little sister's words, according to my heart, made me suddenly enlightened. After that, we should be vigilant and self-reflective, and take it as a warning. ”
"Yo," Bai Xue hugged him and said with a smile: "That's my father's words, remember it, so serious?" ”
Wei Ying sighed, "Those who know me and heal me, but the little sister has one ear, and she is disrespectful?" ”
"Don't respect, love." Bai Xue lowered her eyebrows and said softly.
"Respect it, love it." Wei Ying's hands caressed Bai Xue's shoulders.
With tears in her eyes, Bai Xue gently snuggled into Wei Ying's arms and whispered, "Silk and salary, the big river is in the sky." What day is it? See this beloved. What can be imagined, what can be remembered? Zixi, Jun is in the distant mountains. ”
Small boats in the river have anchored at the big rock side of the ferry. Aunt Mei didn't urge them, but sang a long song to the big river, "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart, even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound?" Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it, I don't see it for a day, like March - "The song floats on the river, and the waterfowl hovers and dances beside her."
Wei Ying smiled: "Aunt Mei is lovesick? Let's go. ”
"Don't worry." Bai Xue took off the delicate thin sword from his waist, wrapped it around Wei Ying's waist, and put it on the copper buckle of the sword hilt, and with a "ding" sound, Wei Ying's waist had an extra shiny belt. Bai Xue said with a smile: "This is the plain female sword left to me by my father, it is extremely thin and flexible, it can be used as a belt when it is unsheathed, and it can be broken by being sharp and jade." She's on your waist, and I'm holding you. ”
Wei Ying suddenly hugged Bai Xue, kissed him deeply, turned around and strode away.
The morning breeze blows, the river goes to the sky in the golden sun, and a small boat floats away to the south bank. Standing at the bow of the ship and waving to the shore, the white horse neighing at the stern of the ship to his homeland. At the ferry port on the north shore, the white snow that stood and gazed turned into a little scarlet in the green waves of reeds.
