Yang Jingxuan took the little girl to urge the horse to follow, and followed the disciple step by step, the three of them did not say anything all the way, and walked forward silently, only the sound of gurgling water in their ears.

The further you go, the steeper the mountain becomes, the trees on both sides become taller and taller, and occasionally you can hear a few known chirpings between the trees, the male cicadas will die after mating, and most of the female cicadas have also completed mating, so the cicada cry after autumn is more like a wail.

"Do you know what these are called?" Pi Yang said suddenly.

The two girls were stunned by his unprovoked question, and glanced at each other, both of them were a little inexplicable, Yang Yao snorted lightly:

"What can it mean to be unintelligent and chirp purely for the sake of chirping?"

Pi Yang chuckled and said: "Everything in the world has a spirit, and its words and deeds have a purpose, so let's take it and say that the male cicada chirps to lure the female Zen to mate, and their mission is like this." ”

"Phew!" The little girl listened to him and took a sip, her little face was already clear, but Yang Jingxuan was smiling and silent.

Pi Yang smiled and continued: "In our south, this known cry actually has another meaning. ”

The little girl was afraid that he would say something shameless again, so she hated him, but she didn't dare to ask again, but Yang Jingxuan chuckled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Pi Yang said: "The sound of knowing is somewhat similar to the old Jinghu official dialect, at the beginning of the corn fruit, one will sing loudly when it is known: 'The beard and beard hang, the beard and beard hang', and the other answers: 'Know, know, know, .....hmm'

After hearing this, the two girls looked at each other, and the air cooled down for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. Pi Yang glanced back and said with a tiger face: "What, isn't it funny?" ”

"Of course it's not funny!" Yang Yao glared and said, "Do you know that the tweet is the meaning of corn whiskers?" According to you, the rooster is still calling my brother! ”

"Isn't it?" Pi Yang's eyes widened, and he had an incredible expression: "I always thought that the rooster was calling my brother." ”

Yang Yao smiled angrily: "You are uneducated, and the rooster crows at the beginning of the year, which is intended to remind people that it is dawn." ”

Pi Yang raised his eyebrows: "Then I don't understand, the rooster can remind people to get up, why can't they remind people to hang corn whiskers?" ”

This sentence choked the little girl, she hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said angrily: "It's just a strong word, how can the two be compared?" ”

Yes, you must not reason with women, and it seems that this was also the case in ancient times. Pi Yang snorted, turned around and continued on his way, the little girl wrinkled her nose and stuck her tongue out at his back, and snorted too.

glanced at his maidservant, and then looked at the back full of resentment in front of him, thinking of this journey, the two of them were fighting all the time, Yang Jingxuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The three of them were silent, and walked forward for another half an hour, and came to the foot of Baique Mountain, Yang Jingxuan looked at the pass at the end of the mountain road, and asked: "As far as I know, this road goes straight to Cherry Well, and there is no fork in the road leading to other places, are you a villager of Cherry Well?" ”

Pi Yang sighed, "Yes." ”

"More than two months ago, the state government army surrounded and suppressed bandits in Cherry Well, were you present at that time?"

Not only was I there, but I also participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression. Pi Yang nodded: "Yes." ”

Yang Jingxuan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?" ”

"More than 1,000 troops surrounded and suppressed more than 100 bandits, and let the bandits escape, isn't this the case?"

Yang Jingxuan rubbed the root of her nose: "I'm asking you to talk about the details." ”

"Oh, the details?" As Pi Yang walked, he scratched his head and recalled: "At that time, the leader was a red-faced general, what was it called, what was it.... What's going on? ”

"He Yuankun, the deputy general under the command of Lord Chen." Yang Jingxuan reminded.

"Yes, yes, He Yuankun, it's him, and there is a fat white-skinned son, I heard that he is the son of the prefect." Speaking of this, Pi Yang's tone became sad and angry, "The two of them asked the soldiers to drive us to the cherry orchard in the village, and coerced us to hand over the thieves, if not, they would arrest us and ask for the guilt, but we didn't harbor the thieves, how can we pay us?" ”

He looked at the black beauty, and saw that she was silent, so he continued: "What's even more hateful is that fat boy, seeing that Zixin's sister is good-looking, he got into a bad mood, and even used the crime of harboring thieves to occupy the people's daughters. ”

Yang Jingxuan opened her mouth and asked, "Sister Zixin in your mouth, but her name is Wu Zixin?" The granddaughter of the old man Wu Qinghe? ”

"How do you know?" Pi Yang exclaimed.

Yang Jingxuan smiled: "The name of the skillful girl Wu Zixin is like thunder, and she has been coming to Padang for so long, how can I not know?" ”

Of course, Pi Yang knew that she wasn't telling the truth, and said in her heart, damn, what is Grandpa Wu's family? Why do people from the capital seem to know their family? Yang Jingxuan didn't know what he was thinking, and continued to ask:

"Can you tell me more about how the more than 100 bandits escaped?"

Don't say it, it's angry! When Pi Yang thought of that ungrateful little girl, he was angry, and said expressionlessly: "I don't know, when they rushed down the mountain to fight with the Xiang army, we all hid at home, I don't know how they escaped." ”

This sounded reasonable, Yang Jingxuan nodded, snorted, and said, "What you just said, but it's all true?" ”

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask the other villagers in Cherry Well." Pi Yang's words just now were half-truths and half-falsehoods, but his face did not change when he answered.

"That's exactly what I mean." Yang Jingxuan chuckled: "Then let's go up the mountain first?" ”

What kind of humanity is this? Anyway, we fought together, so I can't give a horse to Lao Tzu? Pi Yang was angry in his heart, but he didn't show his face, and waved his big hand: "Hey, it's okay, you go first, I'm fast, and I'll be there in half a day." ”

Yang Jingxuan raised the corners of her mouth and looked at him with a smile, but stretched out her hand to Yang Yao. The little girl's face fell, and she snorted softly in her nose: "If you want to ride a horse, just say it, why do you have to walk for a long time?" After speaking, he took the young lady's hand, snorted, and gently jumped behind Yang Jingxuan.

"What's so embarrassing?" Pi Yang smiled, there was no word polite in his dictionary at all, he said he was embarrassed, kicked his feet, turned on the horse's back, and moved faster than a monkey.

"Go up the mountain!" He shouted, grabbed the horse's belly, and galloped away up the hill.

"Virtue!" Yang Yao scolded hatefully.

The three of them and two horses turned over the pass, quickly passed through the canyon, and went up the bend of the Xinzi slope, but they arrived at the entrance of the village in half an hour.
