.

There are no dangers along the way, and this matter is over for the time being. After packing up, Li Bai's family set foot on the way home again and continued to move to the house.

On the halfway car, Yuewa saw that Li Bai had been sullen and worried, so she comforted Li Bai and said: "Bai'er, don't think about your Sister Lenu, we will go to the new home soon, you should be happy!" Besides, didn't your Sister Lenu already promise her mother, as long as the limelight passes, your Sister Lenu will come to Sichuan and Shu to see us! ”

"I'm fine!" Li Bai: "Big sister! ”

"Anthracene?" Yuewa was stunned: "What do you call your mother?" ”

"Big sister!"

"This!"

Yuewa was speechless in an instant.

"Mother, didn't you recognize Sister Lenu as your sister?" Li Ke was depressed and muttered: "In this way, then you will not become my eldest sister, and my father will become my eldest brother, isn't it?" ”

"You kid!" Yuewa was not angry with Li Bai, knowing that Li Bai was not wrong, but she was angry with the stupid things she did. After a pause, Yuewa directly instructed Li Bai: "Bai'er, my mother is still your mother, my father is still your father, don't call me like this in the future, do you hear?" ”

"I heard you!" Li Bai: "Big sister! ”

This little episode passed quickly, Li Bai understood what his mother was thinking, knew that his mother was really reluctant to be a slave, and knew that it was wrong to call him so. So after that, Li Bai never called his mother "Big Sister" again.

In this way, while talking and laughing, the Li Mansion carriage and horse quickly drove into a crowded place. Looking at those unfamiliar faces and new things, Li Bai gradually swept away all his sorrow and was completely attracted by the things around him.

"Mother, look!"

Li Bai poked his head out of the sedan and pointed to a juggler who breathed fire in his mouth, and was excited. After waiting for the carriage to pass, Li Bai turned his gaze to look at other things, very happy. Yuewa saw that Li Bai's mood was no longer low, and it was the first time she came to the Central Plains, so she was also as curious as Li Bai, and she was also happy with her, and accompanied Li Bai to see around.

"Rock sugar gourd! Sell rock sugar gourds! ”

At this time, a hawker suddenly shouted and walked slowly from not far away, carrying a straw stump on his shoulder, and the grass stake was full of rock sugar gourds. When Li Bai saw it, he couldn't help but shudder, thinking of all kinds of scenes when he was a child, especially eating rock sugar gourds as rice.

"Alas!" Li Bai shook his head, and after a sigh, he actually said, "Mother! I want to eat rock sugar gourd! ”

"Anthracene?" Yuewa's face was shocked, she couldn't believe it, thinking that she had heard it wrong. After being stunned for a while, he reacted and said, "Bai'er, you haven't eaten rock sugar gourd for more than ten years, why do you suddenly want to eat it again?" ”

"Anthracene !!" Li Bai pondered for a while and said, "It seems that there is no reason, it is just that I suddenly want to eat again." If my mother doesn't want me to eat, then I'll listen to my mother and stop eating! ”

"You kid!" Yuewa smiled, turned around, and called Li Ke, who was driving the carriage in front, and then turned back and said to Li Bai: "Go and come back quickly!" ”

"Thank you, mother!"

After that, Li Bai took the green plum wood sword that never left his body, and ran towards the vendor who sold rock sugar gourds. After a while, they flew back again, and the carriage and horses moved forward again.

But what Li Bai never expected was that the rock sugar gourd was still the same rock sugar gourd as before, but after taking a bite, Li Bai didn't want to eat it anymore, feeling that the taste was no longer like before. had no choice but to hand the rock sugar gourd to his father and ask Li Ke to help eat it all.

As the time flew by, Li Bai's family finally ended the days of running around and tiring, and settled in Qinglian Township, south of Guanghan City, Sichuan and Shu.

The reason why Li Ke chose this place is because Guanghan is located in the north of Sichuan and Shu, and is close to the Fu (Fu Ersheng) River, which is the main road from Longnan to Sichuan and is part of Yizhou.

In Yantang, Yizhou and Yangzhou are the two major operation centers of salt and iron in the country. Guanghan is an important channel for salt and iron to be sold in Shaanxi, Gansu, and the Western Regions in the north.

Although salt and iron were monopolized by the government in the Tang Dynasty, with the permission of the system, the officials also allowed a small number of merchants to run the salt transportation business. Because it is approved by the government, it has huge profits, and it can make money every day and become rich in the world.

This is also the reason why Li Ke chose Guanghan. Therefore, after settling in Qinglian Township, Li Ke became a local salt merchant.

When they first arrived in Sichuan and Shu, Li Bai and Yuewa were very unaccustomed to it, and they always felt that they were not accustomed to the water and soil; After all, the Central Plains is not like Saiwaihudi. So for a long time, Li Bai and Yuewa have lived a life and want to die, they can lie down and never sit, and they can sit and never stand.

Although Li Ke was in a hurry, it was useless, so he could only ask Lang Zhong to boil some herbs to relieve him. After dozens of bowls of herbs were put into their stomachs one after another, Li Bai and Yuewa felt better and no longer so uncomfortable. At the same time, all kinds of things on Li Ke's business road are also getting better with Hou Gui's help, and Hou Gui can handle things properly without even coming forward himself.

So when he had nothing to do that day, Li Ke took Li Bai and Yuewa out of the house. Speaking of walking around outside, by the way, go to the temple to burn incense, worship the Buddha, ask for a home and prosperity, peace.

The incense in the temple is very vigorous, and there are many people. When Li Bai's family came, it was just after noon, and when they looked around, they could already see that the temple was crowded with people, and it was difficult to squeeze in.

Without a rut, he pondered that he would spend the night at the inn today, and come back early tomorrow. After agreeing, Li Bai's family of three was ready to find a good inn first, for fear that they would not be able to find it if it was too late.

As a result, just moved his feet, and before he took half a step, the crowd outside the temple suddenly became noisy and lively, pointing and pointing at the temple one by one, and discussing a lot, as if something big had happened. Li Bai was full of curiosity, looked at it, and suddenly, he saw many military service men wearing official uniforms, carrying a huge bell, walking out of the temple in a trance.

This bell is bigger, higher than three people, thicker than two cylinders. Before and after, a total of twenty-four military service men carried on their shoulders, the first twelve, the last twelve; Sixth from left, sixth from right.

"Oh my God! There is such a huge Buddha bell in the world! Li Bai was surprised, he hadn't seen it. After a pause, he suddenly had some doubts and curiosity, and asked Li Ke: "Dad!" This big Buddha bell is no longer placed in the temple, what do you do when you bring it out? ”

"Bai'er!" Li Keyunyun smiled: "This big Buddha bell is not for those monks, but for the people, so naturally it can't be placed in the temple." ”

"Why?" Li Bai was even more curious: "Why don't monks knock?" Let the people knock? ”

"Bai'er, let me ask you!" Li Ke didn't answer, but asked: "Do you know how a father became a salt merchant?" ”

"Anthracene?" Li Bai was stunned, he didn't expect Li Ke to ask such a question. When he came back to his senses, he shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know! ”

"Tell you now for the Father!" Li Ke: "The reason why my father was able to become a local salt merchant was because he rang this big Buddha bell. ”
