Episode 244: Revisiting the Old Land

However, he said that Yan returned to the four masters and servants in the evening, repacked their bags, and continued to set off and sailed to Biansai Liangcheng.

Climbing over the thousand falling mountains, what was presented in front of them was no longer the scene of the beautiful land and fertile fields, but instead of a group of "lonely desert smoke, long river and sunset." "Look.

With the exception of Qiusheng, none of the remaining three had recovered from their injuries, but the continuous cooling over the years forced them to go on the road. If they wait, and then snow will fall, blocking the way forward, I am afraid that they will be trapped here all the time. For them, the western foothills of Qianluo Mountain are not the best place to stay.

Traveling in a long way, it is inevitable to climb Zimo, practice the red dust at dusk, and finally rush to the territory of Liangcheng before the winter moon. After all, it is a revisit to the old place, which evokes a lot of past events for a while.

The carriage moved forward leisurely on a loess road, and a few wisps of cooking smoke rose in the distance, and when you got closer, you knew that it was a peasant family.

Yan Guiwan opened the curtain and looked out, turned back to Xu Moqing in the car and said, "Brother, do you want to get out of the car and take a breather?" ”

Xu Moqing was already lying impatient in the arch compartment, and when he learned that he had entered the territory of Liangcheng, he smiled with a relaxed smile: "It's okay, take this opportunity to take a look at the scenery of Biansai." ”

Yan Guiwan helped him get out of the carriage and shook his head, "Where is the scenery of the border plug?" I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my brother. She pointed not far away, where there were a few big yellow dogs sleeping at the entrance of the village, and a group of drooping children chasing a few big white geese.

"Hey, it's better than meeting a bandit." Xu Moqing sighed, "Be content at night." ”

What he said was true, and Yan Guiwan "giggled" and laughed. After a while, the wife and husband moved their muscles and bones in place for a while. Yan Gui saw that he was still very weak, and said with concern: "How does my brother feel?" I haven't had a good rest all the way, and when we get rid of it, we have to take care of it, and we have to take care of it for a hundred days! ”

"This time I realized how annoying you were with me before."

"What kind of bastard is my brother talking about?"

"I've been listening to the endless chatter along the way, why am I so expensive?"

Yan Guiwan leaned into his ear and said softly: "Oh, my Highness, you are not expensive!" ”

Xu Moqing took her into her arms with one hand, rested her chin on her shoulder bone, and said softly behind her ear: "How is it?" I'm not too strong, am I? Don't worry so much about me, I'm really getting better. ”

The wife and husband were flirting there, and Jiuying and Qiusheng in front of the carriage were also muttering together, not knowing what private words they were talking about. Yan Guiwan poked Xu Moqing with his elbow, "Brother, look! ”

Xu Moqing glanced at the front of the car, then turned around, and even turned Yan Guiwan with him, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps"? Let's not look at it, Qiusheng and Jiuying are thin-skinned, and if you don't feel embarrassed, I'll see how you end. ”

Yan Guiwan glanced at him, let out a few "tsk", and said negatively: "No wonder my brother entered my Taoyao Pavilion and surrounded my nine warblers and nine spirits."

Before he could say a word, Qiusheng and Jiuying had already come to him. In the past, their wives could still be more skeptical of being the master's face. But since they left Kyoto this time, the two of them have left all those "three platforms and five constants" behind, and now they still maintain such a hugging posture to deal with the two big officials.

"What's wrong? It can't be that I'm saying bad things about you two and you're listening, right? Yan Guiwan covered her mouth and winked at the two big officials.

Jiuying pursed her lips and smiled: "My evening master, don't make trouble." If you take a closer look at this place, does it really not sound familiar at all? ”

"Xu Lang also followed, you really don't have any impression of this place at all?" Qiusheng also reminded Xu Moqing.

Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan let go of each other's hands and looked around again.

Xu Moqing took his hand, thought for a while, frowned, and said, "I only remember the last time we came to Liangcheng, we got lost in a valley, but I don't remember which village we visited. ”

"Xu Lang is right, but didn't we just come out of that valley?" Qiusheng reminded again.

Xu Moqing turned behind him, as if he remembered something, and recalled: "I remember that I took the wrong road in the valley last time, and the old farmer who showed us the way said that when you walk out of the valley, you will be the 'Cross Village', and then less than twenty miles south from the Cross Village, you can see the camp of the Dongliang army stationed here. ”

Qiusheng clapped his hands and smiled: "Exactly, Xu Lang finally remembered." ”

"Cross Village?" Yan Guiwan's eyes lit up, "You mean that the village in front of you is a cross village?" ”

If Yan Guiwan said other places, she might not remember it, but she remembered the name Cross Village. She and Yan Di were the Ge Hua brothers and sisters who were pulled out from here, so as to wipe out the Yang Department of Xizhou.

Jiuying grabbed Yan Guiwan, "Don't be excited, although the little one has never been to the Cross Village, I have heard Sister Tu mention it." She flipped the map out of her body and pointed it to Yan Guiwan for confirmation.

Yan Guiwan jumped up happily, pulled up Xu Moqing and ran forward, Qiusheng and Jiuying were so busy that they followed behind with a horse-drawn cart.

"Late, slow down...... I, I'm in pain! Xu Moqing dragged her and said.

Yan Guiwan stopped at this time, "Didn't my brother just say that it was already fine?" ”

Xu Moqing was speechless, as long as he admitted that his injuries had not healed.

Yan Guiwan slowed down and led him towards the cross village, telling him about his relationship with this village.

"A few years have passed, I wonder if that old woman and that little flower can afford to eat?" Yan Guiwan was a little sentimental.

Xu Moqing comforted: "Just walk in and take a look, what if we can still meet them?" It seems that this village is not very big, and now that the farming season is over, maybe they are all drying rice in the courtyard! ”

Yan Guiwan nodded, since she wanted to enter the Cross Village, she must have this thought.

But she suddenly remembered one more thing, "It's been two or three years, I don't know if General Xian Ran has checked out the details of Xizhou, there are really a lot of hidden piles mixed in this border at the beginning." ”

"What did you persuade me the other day? You've taken off that armor a long time ago, why do you think about it again? There will be other people to do these things, Dongliang is not the only one who loves the country. ”

Although what Xu Moqing said was harsh, it was also the truth, but when Yan Guiwan was silent for a while, he said: "Xu Moqing, you are just hard-mouthed, when we left Qianluo Mountain, how did you consider that secret letter?" You repeatedly marked the location of Ruan Sanniang's lair, for fear that the person who opened the letter would not understand. ”

Xu Moqing didn't talk back, he only felt that it might be out of his sense of mission that he was a descendant of the Eastern Liang Emperor.

"In Cao Ying, the heart is in Han." Yan Guiwan muttered.

As they spoke, the four of them had arrived at the entrance of Cross Village, and a group of children ran up to them to watch. Although their clothing has become closer to that of the locals, it is still recognizable that they are outlanders.

A little kid who looked like he was only four or five years old boldly stepped forward, looked up and asked, "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

Yan Guiwan didn't know how to answer her, she only touched her head, turned around and asked Xiang Qiusheng, "Do we have candy in our package?" ”

Qiusheng hurriedly went to the car and rummaged through it, took out the remaining handful of candy, and sent it to Yan Guiwan. This is because the three of them really couldn't stand the bitter medicine soup, so they bought some candy halfway and occasionally put it in their mouths to change the taste. Unexpectedly, it came in handy here.

Yan Guiwan distributed the candy in her hand to these children, she squatted down and said to the little girl who asked her, "I want to find the little brother who lives in the village land temple." ”

The little girl licked the candy in her hand, took a bite, and said immaturely: "I don't know!" ”

A girl who was older than her next to her said: "There are no people living in the land temple for a long time!" ”

Yan Guiwan was a little disappointed, she looked back at Xu Moqing. Xu Moqing smiled and said, "Then will you lead us to the Land Temple for a spin?" ”

"Okay, okay!" The children gossiped.

Oh, Yan Guiwan and his party of four were surrounded by these children and walked into the cross village. It wasn't the same as she had been two years ago, with rows of squat mud houses, a jumble of stone paths, and the occasional poking out of the villagers to watch.

Yan Guiwan's thoughts gradually fluctuated, and the scene from a few years ago resurfaced in front of her: the old woman picking up rice grains, and the little flower who was shivering from the cold.

Just as the group arrived at the head of the temple, several villagers hurriedly ran over. They first protected the children behind them, and then they found that they were eating candy in their mouths, and they were forced to vomit out.

"A few little ladies, this candy is non-toxic, please rest assured."

Yan Guiwan bowed and bowed, and Xu Moqing and the two big officials also saluted a few villagers with her.

Several villagers looked them up and down, and said with hostility: "Who are you, what are you doing in our cross village?" ”

The children rushed and said, "They are looking for the little brother who lives in the Land Temple." ”

"That's right, look for the little brother!" As he spoke, the children laughed again.

"There are a lot of small flowers that have lived in this land temple, which one are you looking for? Where the hell did you come from? Could it be from Xizhou again? ”

As soon as Xu Moqing heard the word "Xizhou", he was even more excited than Yan Gui. Yan Guiwan pulled him back behind him, and was thinking about how to explain their intentions, Qiu Sheng said anxiously: "We are here to ask for a house to live in." ”

"What?" The villagers were even more confused.

Qiusheng laughed and said: "Don't hide it from a few little ladies, we are businessmen from the Central Plains, and we were supposed to cross the border to make a small living." Unexpectedly, we are not adapted to the climate of the northwest, and our main family is sick on the way, and you see, it has not been well yet! ”

Xu Moqing immediately cooperated with Qiusheng to cough, and Qiusheng continued: "It's already the winter moon now, and we don't want to move forward anymore. I want to stay here for the winter, and then cross the border at the beginning of the next spring. I don't know if there are any vacant houses in our village to rent to us, the price is easy to talk about and negotiate. ”

Qiusheng's words finally narrowed the distance with the villagers. Their vigilance slowed down, look at each other, look at me, I look at you, and gradually some villagers came around, casting curious glances at Yan Guiwan and the four of them, and even quieter discussions began.

"Come and stay in my house!" A loud voice came from the crowd.

Everyone's eyes looked at the voice, and they saw a young student who had just reached the general horn coming out of the crowd. He stared at Yan Guiwan with blazing eyes, and Yan Guiwan also looked at him with some excitement.

One of the villagers shouted, "Hey, Brother An, do you recognize them?" ”

Another villager shouted, "Don't let everyone take it home, the room that Grandma Wang left you can't let you waste casually!" ”

This little offspring glared at everyone, and said loudly: "I recognize her, she is my savior!" ”

"Huh?!" There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.

Yan Guiwan had already rushed forward, wrapped his hands around his shoulders, and said excitedly: "Little brother, it's really you, it's really you, I thought I wouldn't see you again!" ”

Brother An was much calmer than Yan Guiwan, he grabbed the corner of Yan Guiwan's clothes and said with a smile: "Sister, it's me!" Come home with me! ”
