Li Yuan grabbed Chi Qiu's hand and walked to the backyard path. This is a kind of custom, "arm to arm", which means that you are very happy to drink and chat today, and to be good friends with your brother. As if he had been caught, Chi Qiu was very unaccustomed to it, but he had no choice but to follow suit.

I saw the guard carrying the food box again today, and when I saw the appearance of my chief and Chi Qiu, I saluted.

"Brother Chi and I went up to bathe in the soup. Don't bother the others. ”

"Yes." The guards watched the three of them go up the back mountain.

Chi Qiu listened to the strange sound, not easy to make a sound, Li Yuan let go of his hand and said: "There is a hot spring here, perennial flowing water, but covered by Buddha statues, I went here to garrison, only to find out when patrolling the mountain, ordered the soldiers to move away the big stone, built a three-hole soup pool, eat wine today, boxing, a stinky sweat, and then wash a hot soup, fairy days." ”

It turned out to be a hot spring, and Chi Qiu was also happy in his heart. The hot spring is on the back mountainside, close to the cliff, the mountain rocks are forested, and the moss is thick, so it is a primitive ecology.

There are three-hole hot springs along the mountainside, and there is an inverted Buddha statue in the middle, which is also a little far apart.

"I call them the Three Stacks Spring, this first hole is for the soldiers, and this second hole is just right for us to soak."

"What about the third hole?"

"The hole is too small, and the terrain is not very good, after all, it is the land of Buddhism, so it should be used by the Buddhas." Li Yuan explained casually, and pointed to the location by the way, the first hole is slightly higher than the second hole, and looking at the trend of the steps, it seems to be a Z-shape. The old stone steps, covered with moss, seem to be rarely visited.

The attendant who followed brought two clean towels, Li Yuan took off his clothes and wrapped one into the pool, Chi Qiu thought about it, and also entered the pool, as soon as he entered the pool, the stone platform under the water was covered with moss, and he almost slipped.

"Be careful, it's not much taken care of here, it's not as good as the best servant Fengquan in Yanhu, Brother Chi be careful."

Chi Qiu nodded, expressed understanding, sat down cautiously, and asked casually: "Along the way, you have lit torches, are you not afraid of causing a mountain fire?" ”

"What are you afraid of, there are not a few trees on this mountain, there is a ditch under the mountain, you can't burn the pine forest, here is the old site of Yanhu Village, two hundred years ago the Qing soldiers entered the customs, a fire burned down, and then did not rebuild in the original site, and built a universal rescue temple."

"I see, then speaking of which, we are not in the private bath of the former village owner?"

Li Yuan thought about it and said with a smile: "Maybe"

The attendant folded the two men's clothes. He took out two more bottles of wine.

"Still drinking?"

"The wine of Donglai is not intoxicating."

"Let's not open it first, I drank too much wine, sweated all over, and with the hot soup, it was easy to get dizzy, in fact, it was best not to soak in the soup when drunk."

"Really?" Li Yuan still recognized Chi Qiu's insight, and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's open a bottle." ”

The attendant confessed, saying that two bottles had been opened.

"Well, take one bottle and divide it with us, and put the other bottle capped and put it there. When you're done, you can quickly bubble and come over to serve in half an hour. ”

The squire returns the salute "Yes"

After the attendant was done, he left Chi Qiu and said, "You are good to your subordinates." ”

"Yes, don't look at him as a squire, his father is a baron. There have been too many bankrupt nobles over the years, and the son of the baron is just a squire by the side of my little lieutenant. ”

"There is a lot of war in the river?"

"Much, often hit." Li Yuan sighed.

"The general seeks fame and fame, and there is a battle, why sigh."

"It's all blind fighting, today it's an enemy, tomorrow it's an ally, whoever will fight with their lives is a formality."

"No wonder Brother Li is full of martial arts, and he has not yet been crowned a general."

Li Yuan looked helpless and drank a glass of wine: "It's impossible to worship the marquis, now there are so many nobles, and the old marquis has no territory, how can it be possible to give a new title, at most it is a lord, speaking of which, this baron still has a village, and the lord is just a name." ”

"You don't say it's all a fight, how can those nobles lose their territory?"

Li Yuan smiled, pretending to be mysterious: "You guess? ”

Chi Qiu shook his head puzzled, in the Western Regions, unless the chief's family died, none of the territory, cattle and sheep, and oasis could be taken away.

Li Yuan explained: "Marriage"

"What?"

"You don't understand, the territorial changes of the princes in the river depend on marriage, if I marry a daughter-in-law, you will cut more than a dozen villages, and if I marry a daughter, you will cut ten more villages, this will be cut back and forth, or it will be gone."

"Why do people cut the land when they marry girls and beauties?"

"It's not that you can't beat it, it's a lot of dowry, or a lot of dowry, it's all based on strength. Now the princes of Hejian have long since lost the courage of their ancestors, and they are worthy of the title of warriors, and they only want to be able to live a prosperous life in their lifetimes, as long as the dowry is rich, and they are willing to cut the land if they marry a daughter-in-law, you say, can they not go bankrupt like this? It's not who has more money, who is the king of the river. ”

"Is there a lot of money in Yanhu?"

"Haha, I don't know, but in the past few decades, the old city lord has married twenty daughters, and we have three hundred more villages and six castles, what do you say?"

"Rich man" Chi Qiu added: "You can really live." ”

"Hahahaha." Li Yuan smiled: "In one sentence." In the future, I will also marry a noble girl, obtain the title of her family, and have a lot of dolls. ”

"I wish you all the best."

"Thank you for your good words." Both laughed "lewdly", but it was the beginning of friendship between men.

Soon a bottle of wine was gone.

The steaming hot spring made the two of them turn red, and Li Yuan was a little drunk: "Brother Chi, do you know?" It's really good to eat and drink and chat with you, from tomorrow onwards, you will be my brother Li Yuan, in Yanhu City, if there is anything, I will try my best to cover you up. ”

Chi Qiu was overjoyed in his heart, if he could get the care of a school captain, it would naturally be a good thing, but he didn't expect to punch and kick today, beat a few ugly women, and after a good addiction, he also made a friend.

"In Yanhu City, as long as you don't provoke women, especially the women of the Yanhu family, what kind of women you want, brother, I can help you."

The four major irons in life, have carried guns together, have been through the window together, have gone to the countryside together, and drifted together as prostitutes, this Li is far enough as a brother. Chi Qiu secretly regretted that he was still wary today, and when he was eating, he vomited a little bit of wine, at this moment he felt a little uninteresting, it seems that the people of Yanhu are more bold than the people of the Western Regions.

"I've drunk too much, why don't you go together?"

"No, slow down." Chi Qiu was also a little bloated, but he still stood up and supported Li Yuan.

"Then you'll be there."

Needless to say, the water quality of Sandie Hot Spring is naturally the most beautiful, and the temperature is just right, if there is a beautiful woman to do a spa, it should be even more perfect.

Although it is said that in the sauna, the man will also wrap the bath towel and run around, but the bath towel is always a little uncomfortable when soaked in the water for a long time, not to mention that at this moment, the towel prepared by Li Yuan is not particularly soft, to be exact, it is a thick cloth, Chi Qiu felt uncomfortable, so he simply untied it and let himself relax completely.

Even if Li Yuan comes back later, he is not worried, not to mention that they are all men, this kind of thing is like a woman going out to hit her shirt, who is small and who is embarrassed, Chi Qiu is confident that he will not be embarrassed.

"Comfortable, I didn't expect Li Yuan to enjoy it." Chi Qiu lay down in the hot spring, feeling quite comfortable. "Why haven't they come back yet?" Two old men, why did you run so far to go to the toilet? Still going along? Isn't there something boring? It won't be a rabbit. Chi Qiu lay on the edge of the pool, kept looking, there were no two figures at all, a gust of wind came out, blowing the warm spring water still couldn't stop the goosebumps, he wouldn't stumble and step on the air, and he didn't hear the shout. Or is it possible that there are ghosts? Was Wang killed by a ghost? The wind blew the torch on the side of the road flickering brightly and darkly, which was too suitable for the occasion, and Chi Qiu rolled up the bath towel and wanted to go ashore to find out.

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......" like a murmur from hell.
