Chapter 2 Wuchuan

Go to Luoyang and the north, where there are 2,500 miles, it is probably where the six towns mentioned by Li Chong are located. The six towns stretch for thousands of miles from west to east, in order: Fertile Field, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, Huaihuang Six Towns. It leans on the Yin Mountain in the south, and the Gobi moraine in the north, which is set up by Emperor Daowu of this dynasty to resist the invasion of the north and defend the old capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The territory of the Great Wei State is vast, and there are many border towns, naturally there are far more than a few six towns, but the six towns are self-contained, and the years are long, and the soldiers and townspeople are mostly from the wealthy families and nobles in the old days, and they are also facing the great troubles in the north of the country, and they are indeed the biggest in terms of fame. Now in the six towns, in addition to the Xianbei children of the old six towns, there are many exiled prisoners who are sent to the border to fight against crimes, as well as the attached high cars and miscellaneous hus; For various reasons, there are many Han'er who came from the south.

From Pingcheng to the north, the west road passes through Woye Town to Gaoque Shu and the desert; East Road, Yuehuaihuang Town, Dahanhai; The most important middle road is to take the Yinshan Road, and cross the Baidao City to rush to Wuchuan Town.

In the summer, the sun is like fire, and the whole Wuchuan City is listless. There should have been a group of guards stationed at the gate of the city, but at this time there was no trace of them, most of them were hiding in a corner of the city wall and sleeping soundly. It doesn't matter, since the door was opened in the morning to the present, Hugh said that there is no merchant who can fish for oil and water, and the total number of people who enter and leave is not more than two hands, and most of them are idle men and hungry beggars. The city is also quiet, there are few shops in the market, occasionally there is a sound, but there are people arguing and even beating each other--- these years, whether it is the town soldiers or the townspeople, I don't know why everyone is angry and rarely smiles. Further inside, in the hidden places of those streets and alleys, you can see a few swaying figures from time to time, either splashing gangsters or idle townsmen with knives and shoulders, but when a living person passes by, the eyes of this cadre flashed with a green fierce light, like a group of hungry wolves.

The world is not good, and the city smells of ruin everywhere. . . But if you really want to talk about it, Wuchuan is quite good, in the end, it occupies the most central position of the six towns, and it is easy to communicate with the country. I heard that Huaihuang Town, the easternmost of the six towns, first called Rouran Lord Anapu to loot at the end of the year, and turned around and suffered a snow disaster.

The situation outside the city is much better, especially in the direction of the south of the city to Yinshan, at this time the grass is full of grass, a large area of green, mixed with all kinds of wild flowers, vibrant, and comfortable to look at.

Yin Mountain is majestic, and white clouds surround the waist. At the foot of the mountain, several houses are quiet and peaceful. It looks like they are all ordinary people, covering a small area, but the surrounding area is open and open, but it is also refreshing and pleasant.

Suddenly, a coquettish voice broke the tranquility between heaven and earth: "Stinky fruit!" Bad fruit! Bullying people again! "Among several households, the door of the courtyard with the highest head and the largest area was wide open, first a tall young man in Tsing Yi covered his head and ran out, and then chased out a girl in Hufu, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a look of shame, raising a pair of fists, green muscles and wrists, and the strength was not small.

The young man in Tsing Yi ran a short distance and slowed down, stopping there with his hands around his head, and laughing non-stop in his mouth. The girl in Hufu walked swiftly, chased after her in a few steps, and was about to fight, but she really fell on the back of the young man, and her hands suddenly turned into a pair of pink fists, soft and weak, and she was just scratching the itch.

At this time, three more people walked out of the courtyard gate, two of whom were about the same age as the young man in Tsing Yi, about sixteen or seventeen years old. The last one was a half-sized man, he didn't wear a shirt in the hot weather, his fat belly was shy in front of him, and his eyes were dark and bright.

First, a round-faced teenager of medium stature shouted, "Sister Ying! You're trying hard! This little fruit always bullies you, I can't stand it. If it were me, I would have beaten him up and called his mother! As he spoke, he looked at the other teenager beside him and continued, "Black otter! Xiao Guo'er laughed at your sister's dark face, but you weren't angry! ”

The young man named "Black Otter" smiled slightly: "What's the matter with a black face?" It's good if the heart is not black! "This black otter lives up to its name, a Chinese character face is dark and swarthy, and its appearance is also mediocre, but standing there in the depths of the mountains, he is calm and calm, and his body is also high, so he is not very old, but he has a good bearing.

The round-faced young man felt helpless when he saw that the black otter could not move, shook his head and sighed. The corner of his eye swept away, and he caught a glimpse of the chubby half-size boy actually covering his mouth and stealing fun, and suddenly became angry, slapped the back of the half-size child's head, and shouted: "Little bastard!" What are you laughing at? ”

The half-grown man touched the back of his head and looked innocent: "The eldest brother obviously can't beat Guo Langjun, but he is full of big words, and he wants to beat Guo Langjun to cry dad and call his mother, isn't it funny?" When the black otter heard it from the side, he couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

The round-faced young man was furious, and he raised his leg to kick half of the child, not wanting the latter to be chubby, but his movements were not slow, so he rolled on the ground first and avoided from afar. The round-faced young man kicked in the air, becoming more and more annoyed, and when he was about to catch up, he was already dragged by the black otter: "Ah Yue, stay!" What are you angry with Ah Chong? He's young, so it's not a trivial matter to get hurt! ”

Not far away, the young man in Tsing Yi and the girl in Hufu saw it, stopped playing, walked side by side, and shouted together: "What's the matter?" How did Ah Chong roll on the ground? ”

The round-faced young man retracted his legs and said angrily: "This little bastard has thick skin and rough meat, what can he do?" The black otter let go of the round-faced boy and waved his hand at the young man in Tsing Yi and the girl in Hufu: "It's okay!" His two brothers are having a joke! ”

The young man in Tsing Yi nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly another person came out of the courtyard gate, leaning on the door and shouting, "Why did you wait for a few and run out again?" The food is ready, why don't you go back to the hospital and eat it hot? The speaker was a woman in her early thirties, with a beautiful face, a tall figure, and although her clothes were not luxurious, she was clean and elegant, and had a unique temperament.

The black otter and the round-faced boy shouted and rushed to the courtyard gate in unison; The half-grown boy crawled up with a bone, and he didn't have time to dust off his body, and he ran away with a pair of fat short legs, and he couldn't see that at this moment he was afraid that he would be able to race off the rabbit; The young man in Tsing Yi was not slow, his legs were already slender, and he took a big stride and caught up in a few clicks. Only the girl in Hufu fell behind, stretched out her hand and didn't grab half of the young man in Tsing Yi, and saw everyone "dust" away, so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Ouch!" The tall woman came in a hurry, stretched out her hand to take the girl into her arms, and looked distressed: "What kind of bastard thing is this, so angry that my little Ying'er is like this?" As he spoke, he walked back to the courtyard with the girl in his arms, and saw that the brothers were already kneeling on the seat, staring at the various soups in front of them with wide eyes, all salivating.

The girl pouted: "Who else could there be?" Isn't it just the smell of the eldest mother's house... Guo Lang-kun! ”

The tall woman raised her eyebrows, looked at the young man in Tsing Yi and shouted, "Ah Guo! What did you do to make Ying'er angry? If you don't make it clear, you don't want to eat one by one! ”

Without waiting for the young man in Tsing Yi to answer, the drooling half-grown boy took the lead in speaking: "Aunt Wei! Guo Langjun really didn't do anything, so he said that Sister Ying's face was dark. In fact, Guo Langjun is not wrong, although Sister Ying is much whiter than Brother Black Otter, but it is not as good as you, Auntie, and not as good as Guo Langjun... ”

In the plopping sound, the half-sized boy was no longer lucky, and was kicked into a rolling gourd by the round-faced boy. Over there, the girl's mouth grew higher and higher.

"Phew! Ying'er, don't listen to these bastards talking nonsense! Wei Niangzi was angry and funny, reached out and touched the girl's face, and said: "Look at these eyebrows, this high nose, this small mouth... Tut-tut, I don't know whose kid is lucky, and he can marry Ying'er in the future... ”

The grizzled half-grown son Ah Chong struggled to get up, looking aggrieved: "Who else can it be?" Zuo Jindu said, Sister Ying is going to marry Guo Langjun nine out of nine, Aunt Wei, don't you ask knowingly? ”

Ha ha! Wei Niangzi smiled and couldn't close her mouth. At the banquet, Guo Langjun, a young man in Tsing Yi, was full of embarrassment, scratching his ears and pouting his head; The black otter was still calm and relaxed, smiling silently; The round-faced boy Ah Yue's chest rose and fell, and he seemed to be very unhappy...

"Ah Chong, you..." The girl looked shy, and before she finished speaking, she turned her head and got into Wei Niangzi's arms.
