Chapter 3 The City Gate is on Fire

The person who spoke was the old man's neighbor, a woodcutter and a bachelor.

"Yesterday, when Lao Li called his forehead to see him, he was still unconscious, but he didn't expect to be able to go to the ground today. Baby, where are you from, and what's your name? "This time, Du Wu can't be sure anymore, he really crossed.

In this case, finding his way home as soon as possible is the right way, and staying in this place where he doesn't know which dynasty it is, he can go crazy.

Seeing that Du Wu was silent, Lao Li spoke,

"An old thing, don't ask him again, he is from Shandong, he should be under the jurisdiction of the Yuzhou Thorn History Mansion, right?"

"Two old men, what year is it now? No, which dynasty is it? ”

"It's the second year of Yuanshou." The woodcutter replied.

"No, which dynasty and which emperor am I asking?"

"Look at it, I said that this baby's brain is in the water, I still don't believe it, he still asks which emperor, this is something that can be asked casually, and he will be killed." Lao Li put the bowl on the stone bench in the courtyard, stood up and said to the old man next door.

"It's the second year of Yuanshou, when today's son is the grandson of Emperor Yuan, his father is a prince, I don't remember what the name is, it's too long, and I can't remember it. However, I can tell you that it is now the Great Han Kingdom, isn't it from Shandong, why don't you even know what age it is, it's really in the water. Du Wu stood in the courtyard in a daze, silent, and his mind was in a mess.

Han State, it should be the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan, there is a Han Yuan Emperor seems to be, at that time Wang Zhaojun was in the Han Yuan Emperor period to the Western Regions, he is the grandfather of the current emperor, then now it should be the Western Han Dynasty, thinking of this, he asked Lao Wang: "Is the capital Chang'an now?" Before Lao Wang could speak, Lao Li spoke: "It's okay, there is finally something he knows." Lying on a bed made of dry wood, leaves, and linen, Du Wu lost sleep.

The bowl of porridge he ate at night made him almost not vomit, although he hadn't eaten for two days and urgently needed energy and calories, but he just couldn't do the courage and courage of Bei Ye.

That bowl of porridge is fishy, which may have something to do with Lao Li being a fisherman. It's tasteless, it's like white noodles are thrown directly into the pot and stirred, no, it's black noodles!

It's not something that people eat! What's even more unbearable is that there is no toilet paper to go to the toilet!

Although Du Wu is not a very particular person, how can this kind of thing not be particular! When he finished going to the toilet, he was desperate to find that there was no toilet paper at all, and when he asked Lao Li, Lao Li said with disdain: "What is paper?" Scholars are just very particular, don't you see the leaves underneath? After Du Wu, who had a loveless expression, came out of the toilet, the first thing he did was to run to the firewood room to take a bath, but he was scolded by Lao Li for being a bloody dog, which was the place to put firewood!

But Du Wu is even more aggrieved, Lao Li's family has two houses, a living room and bedroom and a meditation room, and a firewood room, I am afraid that the firewood will be wet, and even cooking is in the yard, how can there be a bathroom?

Wait, Du Wu seemed to suddenly remember something, and ran back to the house to take a look, yes, the portrait of the god on the shrine, it was really a portrait, and it was directly painted on the wall!

At that moment, Du Wu wanted to scold his mother. I think that when my family was the poorest, my mother had to buy it on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, no, ask a stove king to come back, it is all the latest paper printing, and it only takes a dime, it will be pasted for a year, and it will not be burned until the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is also a painting, what is this!

Thinking of this, Du Wu is even more homesick, he doesn't want to stay in the Han Dynasty, there is no computer here, no WiFi, no beer and crayfish, and no TV to watch, the old Li family is poor and doesn't even have a book, of course, even if there is, it is estimated that he can't understand it, it is all ancient Chinese seals, like ghost drawings, no, it seems that there is a book, this can be understood, but what if he understands, he doesn't want to stay in this ghost place.

Thinking about it, he fell asleep in such a daze. The next morning, Du Wu was woken up by Lao Li's loud voice.

He slept soundly, and suddenly a few words of Qin dialect sounded like thunder in his ears: Zhou Qin and Han, passed down from generation to generation, our faces face to the loess and our backs to the sky, the Yellow River in our dreams is clear, and we will go to Chang'an on the road to the sky...... He just wanted to get angry, and suddenly felt that this vast tone was completely different from the pop music he had heard before, so he couldn't help but stand up and listen there quietly, but before he heard a few words, he heard the old Wang next door, well, every time Du Wu thought of this title, he wanted to laugh, and yelled: "Howl every day, and let people not sleep, look at the chicken, start howling before dawn, every time the dog says that he belongs to the tiger, that is also worthy of the genus......" Du Wu secretly laughed, he felt that these two people were really interesting, noisy every day, who is inseparable from him every day, reminds him of the two old men in the comedy "A Family in the Northeast" he watched before, quarreling every day, and regretting chess when he played chess, and finally when Uncle Jin moved out of the community, Uncle Niu stalked his neck and said, you old thing, hurry up, save me here!

When Uncle Jin left, Uncle Niu stood behind him and saw him off, saying, you old thing is gone, who will play chess with me!

By the way, teach these two old men how to play chess, and you can count it as having fun for the two of them. Thinking of this, Du Wu got up and went to find the two old men.

Looking at the two old men with a bowl of paste, squatting beside him, watching how he drew the chessboard, Du Wu was pondering, didn't he say that chess was invented by Han Xin, why are these two old men still at a loss, haven't they spread to the people?

Thinking like this, Du Wu spent a morning teaching the two old men

"The horse walks the Japanese character, like the flying field, the car takes the straight road, and the cannon turns over the mountain. The soldier walked the ramp to protect the general, and the pawn was gone. The two old men happily asked Du Wu for advice on how to play, and played until noon, and the two decided to make a delicious meal at noon, and then in the afternoon Lao Li took Du Wu to the county government to find the main book to do the township registration, and Lao Wang went to the mountains to chop wood and came back to do chess.

Today's lunch made the two old men eat with oily mouths, and the reason was that Du Wu cooked. In fact, Du Wu is not a chef, but he really can't eat Lao Li's food, Lao Wang is also an old bachelor, and it is estimated that the level of cooking is not very good, so Du Wu volunteered, two families and one family, Lao Li took out the grass carp that was caught in Weishui two days ago, and secretly stole a rabbit from Lao Wang's room.

When Du Wu was stir-frying rabbit meat in the pot, Lao Li was still being chased and killed by Lao Wang with a flat shoulder. There is only salt and sesame oil, no thirteen spices, no cooking wine, no light soy sauce, no star anise and pepper, and no almighty old godmother.

A braised rabbit meat, a steamed fish, a plate of millet nests, at first the two old men were humble to each other, and when they ate the first bite of the dish, the two plates were swept away in an instant, and they saw Du Wu holding the nest head with only one bite, staring at the two old men who were brushing the plate with the nest head.

Beidaliu Village is not too big a village, there are more than 100 households in the whole village, there is not even a private school, the children in the village go to school to go to the neighboring village Nandaliu Village, but everyone is very poor, few children can afford to go to a private school, after Mr. Private School lowered the tuition standard twice in a row, there are finally more than a dozen students, and most of them are in Nandaliu Village.

The names of the two villages are derived from a large willow tree, which is said to be a small sapling from the Gaozu period, and has become a famous sacred tree for more than 200 years.

During the reign of Emperor Jing, the imperial court recuperation policy has been implemented for decades, a large number of people were born, some people took a fancy to the place of the big willow tree, and the family moved here, and slowly formed a village, and the county later took over logically, and established a complete administrative system.

During the period of Emperor Cheng, there was a young man surnamed Li, Zhao Feiyan who was out of the palace was in distress, sacrificed his life to save him, was praised by Emperor Cheng, and was promoted to be a guard, and his family also took the opportunity to propose to the county, with the big willow tree as the boundary, the new Beidaliu Village was established, which is the origin of Beidaliu Village.

It's a pity that Emperor Cheng died of illness later, Zhao Feiyan was forced to commit suicide, and Beidaliu Village was implicated and gradually declined.

Lao Li chattered with Du Wu about the history of the village while driving the donkey cart, and the old man had been bought for lunch today, so he volunteered to be a commentator, but Du Wu was in the mood to listen to this, and urged Lao Li to the county government all the way.

Beidaliu Village is about twenty or thirty miles away from the county government, and when Lao Li went to borrow a donkey cart, the family also said to him: Lao Li, if you go at this time, you will drive the donkey's posture, and when it comes, the master of the book is scattered!

Lao Li Tou didn't have to reply to a sentence: A melon and a horse, it's really the prince of the stove who sweeps the yard, and he has too much to do!

Sure enough, when Lao Li arrived shouting all the way, the county government happened to be scattered, and the master looked at Du Wu who was dressed in strange clothes - mainly hair - and said that he would come again tomorrow, and he would be scattered today.

Lao Li may feel that he has lost face, or he may want Du Wu to leave a good impression on the master book, and he must take the master book home for dinner, and claim that it is an invincible delicacy in the world!

The master probably had a little impression of Lao Li, and couldn't help his repeated pleas, so he had to agree, but he drove his own donkey cart, and he had to go home after eating.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, probably seeing that the master of the book was coming, Lao Wang took out half a sheep, and the other half he wanted to keep for the Dragon Boat Festival to worship his ancestors.

Lao Li was so poor that he borrowed a hen from the owner of the donkey car, the kind that does not lay eggs, of course, Lao Li wanted to borrow the crowing rooster at that time, and was so frightened by the mother-in-law of the donkey owner that he almost strangled the hen in his hand, and fished two fish in the Weishui while it was dark, and stole a little turnip and green onions when passing by the roadside, and made a big table of meals.

When cooking, Du Wu couldn't help but scold his mother, it turned out that he thought that there was no seasoning in the Han Dynasty, it turned out that Lao Li was too lazy, he saw a pharmacy on the way back, borrowed dozens of copper plates from Lao Li, that is, five baht money, and bought a bunch of peppercorns, ginger, cinnamon, large and small fennel, etc., with the green onions stolen back by Lao Li, a large table of fragrant meals to eat in the main book and the two old men nodded frequently, almost swallowed their tongues.

With the strength of the wine, the master bookkeeper patted Du Wu on the shoulder and said, I will do your business early tomorrow morning, so that Lao Li will shout Qingguan vigorously, and even cook several bowls of muddy wine, that wine Du Wu has drunk, it is not as good as rice wine, not to mention his favorite beer.

Xu is Lao Li's interest is too high, Xu is too much to leave a good impression on the main book, after eating, he pulled the master book, and asked Du Wu to teach him to play chess, Du Wu also wanted to have a good relationship with the master book, so he started to kill the master book 21 and 5 with the main book.

But before he could explain it clearly to the main book, the master bookkeeper suddenly felt excited, and gradually said that there was something important, and he excused himself and left, making Lao Wang say again and again that this meal was fed to the dog's stomach, but it was a pity that his half of the sheep was fed.

Du Wu also thought so, but when he packed up the dishes and chopsticks and passed by the chessboard, when he inadvertently saw the boundary river, he was suddenly full of excitement, and the painting on it was: Chu River Han Boundary!
