Volume 2 The Journey Chapter 107 The streamer is easy to throw people away
Moreover, these two immortals, young and light, have a good-looking face, and are not as cold as the legendary immortals, and it is really a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes to be able to come to the village.
Zhao Zihan's injuries had not healed, and the road out of the mountain was steep and difficult, so the two had to stay here to recuperate with peace of mind.
During this period, Zhao Zihan and Mei'er talked about the mother bear and the two baby bears in the old elm cave that day, they were amazed and funny, and asked Mei'er: "Your brilliance won't let those bears starve to death, right?"
Mei'er smiled: "How can it, baby bears are so cute! Besides, these three bears are really life-saving grace for you and me, how can I be so ungrateful, cruel and unkind?"
"The way is like a closed mantra, and it will dissipate by itself in less than half an hour. ”
Zhao Zihan listened and put his mind at ease.
When he woke up the next morning, Zhao Zihan breathed in the hut for a while, and when he didn't see Yan Mei'er, he went out of the house to look for it.
But I saw that she was sitting under a big tree, teaching a group of children to sing, and seven or eight little boys and girls sang with their little heads shaking, and they actually sang:
Little swallow, dressed in flowers
Come here every spring
I asked the swallow why you came
The swallow said: Spring is the most beautiful here....
Zhao Zihan realized for a while, the child's voice was childish, and the singing voice was loud, feeling as if he had returned to Lancheng in his childhood, so familiar and kind.
I can't help but sigh in my heart: My childhood that I can never go back to......
Shaking his head, he couldn't help but smile in his heart and walked over happily.
The children saw Zhao Zihan coming over and shouted, "Brother Fairy also teaches us to sing." ”
Zhao Zihan made a difficulty.
The first thing that comes to mind is "when will I be able to have a mature and grown face like my senior classmates?" ”
After thinking about it, I felt that it was not possible, there was no swing by the pond here, and there were no watercolor crayons and kaleidoscopes here, which did not fit the scene.
And he thought, "There is a vine before Amen," and he was about to speak, but he stopped.
This song was sung one by one, and his injury had not healed at this time, and his chest was still aching.
On the other side, a few little sisters-in-law and big girls were doing needlework there, and they were listening carefully, but this little fairy was delicate and beautiful, and he was afraid that it was also very good to sing, but he didn't squeak for half a sound and didn't move, and he couldn't help but look at it with surprised eyes.
Yan Mei'er saw that Zhao Zihan was in trouble, so she hurriedly held her head with both hands, her fingers were erected, and her head was shaking.
Zhao Zihan suddenly understood, so he taught the children to sing:
The bunny is well-behaved
Open the door
Hurry up
I'm coming in
If you don't open it, you won't open it
Mom didn't come back
No one will open it......
Vaguely, this is the edge of Lancheng, Zhao Zihan feels that he has returned to his familiar childhood and feels unprecedented happiness.
On the third day, Zhao Zihan and Yan Meier taught the children to sing for a while under an old elm money tree on the edge of the cliff, and then began to teach them to play "rock-paper-scissors".
Playing until the sunset, I only listened to the shouts of "melon", "peach", "flower", "black" and "yellow" from each mother, and the children went home one by one reluctantly and with wilted heads.
Zhao Zihan stood up, tried his body, felt much better, and on a whim, said, "Mei'er, come, accompany me to practice swords." ”
So, in the next few days, the villagers often see two little immortals practicing swords in the morning light or in the sunset, when the two of them practice up, it seems to be dancing, moving like butterflies playing among the flowers, quiet like mandarin ducks playing on the water, the villagers look drunk and fascinated one by one.
And the little boys and girls have had a little dream in their hearts since then, and the scene of the fairy sister and the fairy brother practicing the sword together is deeply engraved in their minds and can no longer linger.
Within a few days, Zhao Zihan felt refreshed, there was no blockage between his chest, and the injury was actually healed.
Finally came to the day of parting, almost everyone in the small mountain village came to see each other, Gua'er held the hands of the fairy brother and the fairy sister, unwilling to let go, Gua'er and his mother also had red eyes, and wiped tears with their sleeves from time to time.
The villagers were sent to the bottom of the valley, the road was narrow and difficult to pass, Zhao Zihan and Mei'er both said: "Everyone go back, we will come back, come to see everyone, definitely!"
The villagers only walked back in twos and threes, but Gu'er and the sister-in-law of the Xie family waited until the two little immortal masters were out of sight in the valley before reluctantly going back.
When they arrived at the place where the road was broken and no one was there, the two had a good comparison of their body skills, stepping on the branches and leaves, flying over the cliff and crossing the wall, and after walking for most of the day, the faint cooking smoke of Yiqiao Village came into view again.
The two of them were surprised in their hearts: they didn't want to run so far that night!
When he came to the small post station, Zhang Lao greeted him with a smile and said, "The two little immortal masters have good luck and have returned safely, hehe." ”
Mei'er said, "TOEFL, what's going on here?"
Zhang Lao's expression tightened, and he said: "Your three companions were injured, chased to me by bad people, and we roared wildly, and they were scared away, hahaha......"
"They rested here for a while that night and then looked north, and I don't know where they were at this time?"
"Fortunately, they left that night, and early the next morning, all six or seven bad guys from Huhulala came, so dangerous!"
"These bad guys hid here in secrecy until two days later. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Yan Mei'er suddenly remembered what Han Han had said in the small mountain village about "premonitions", "traps" and the like, and felt that he was really right, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
This guy's face sank like water, and he didn't get half of it.
Mei'er couldn't help but be afraid for a while: if it weren't for the cold ghosts and ghosts, she deliberately slowly recuperated in the small mountain village, but she was afraid that she would just enter the palace.
I only heard the old Yicheng say again:
"Listening to their jerky words, it probably means that they chased them into the mountains all night and found nothing, and Uriwa complained to each other, which sounded like an old brain went to Baicheng. ”
Zhao Zihan and Mei'er were suddenly ecstatic in their hearts: In this way, Yao Yao and the others also escaped? That's really good!
However, Lao Yicheng's face suddenly turned gloomy, and said: "Recently, the beast tide on the Chu side has been getting worse day by day, and there are more people fleeing. ”
"Didn't the royal court issue an edict earlier, saying that it was going to recruit the allied forces of various kingdoms to attack the demon clan?
Zhao Zihan and Yan Mei'er looked at each other suddenly, not knowing how to answer, Zhang Lao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said in his heart: Could it be that these two little immortals are not from my West Chu Pillar Shiwuji Palace?
But this is not easy to ask, the immortal is angry, and the head falls to the ground.
The two said goodbye to the old post and came out, trying to go into the village to buy horses, in this troubled time, the people who fled were forced to make a living, and there were many horse sellers in the small rich family, the two actually bought two fast horses, and suddenly they were quite excited to beat the horses and look north.
Baicheng is far away in the northernmost part of the Chu realm, on the edge of the wasteland, although the two of them are fast, it will take at least two days to travel, Zhao Zihan and Yan Mei'er traveled day and night, and the next morning, the two have entered a continuous mountain south of Baicheng.
After galloping on the narrow official road in the mountains for about two hours, I saw a high mountain in front of me abruptly, with a lone peak towering and a thousand walls.
Kankan walked to the bottom of the cliff, and suddenly heard the sound of "whooshing" flowing water, Yan Mei'er was overjoyed, and said: "There seems to be a river ahead? ”
Suddenly threw a whip at the back of the horse, turned the hill with a "drip-dac-da-da", and saw a wide river in front of her, Mei'er was taken aback, thought about it, looked back at Zhao Zihan, and said: "I remember that the book talked about this river, it seems to be called barricade?"
Zhao Zihan quickly caught up, looked forward a few times, and said: "The moon is full and the river is dying, it is the famous beauty of Luzhou, such a big river, is it just the barrage?"
Looking up, the river is very wide, the blue water is turbulent, the slow water suddenly turns under the cliff, the water is turbulent, and the rumbling waves are like galloping horses.
There was a crossing on the riverside, just where the water was gentle, and there were three or two awning boats lazily docked, and there were not many pedestrians, and a few captains were listlessly smoking dry cigarettes by the side of the boats.
The canopy boat is the scenery of the land of Wuyue, and the small boat entrusts the old thoughts that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years in the south of the Yangtze River.
The narrow hull of the boat makes it easy to navigate the crooked rivers and alleys, and the bamboo canopy soaked in tung oil is always jet-black, just sheltering from the slanting wind and drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River.
After the Great Tribulation, the world became more stormy, and the canopy boat gradually introduced to the north, while the south used more wide flat-bottomed wooden boats, and a small awning boat also confirmed the changes and vicissitudes of the mainland for thousands of years.
Looking up along the ferry, there are several small wooden houses on the embankment, which look like wine shops and tea shops, and some small square tables are placed under the shade cloth by the door, where bald men and half-old women sit and chat, drink and drink, and laugh and laugh at the endless lonely time.
At this time, the sun is arrogant, the slight west wind is lightly sent, the willow branches on the embankment are gently swaying, and the water is sparkling and scaly, which looks like people feel that the world is peaceful and the years are quiet.
Zhao Zihan and Mei'er were about to urge the horse to walk to the ferry, when there was a sudden sound of bamboo chopsticks hitting the tea bowl in front of them:
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding......
The crisp, melodious and rhythmic sound of percussion echoes in the air, as if telling the traveler's homesickness.
In the bright percussion, a long, slightly hoarse and heart-rending singing voice suddenly sounded:
There is no public crossing the river,
Gong actually crossed the river.
Crossing the river and dying,
What a man!
This is an elegy from ancient times, sung for people who crossed the river and drowned, and the lyrics were to the effect that Zhao Zihan also knew:
I told you not to cross the river,
You have to cross the river.
Now it's dead,
But what can I do with you!
The singing is high-pitched, and the turns reveal exaggerated pathos and deliberate compassion, but it is full of irony and ridicule, and the heavy murderous intent is not hidden at all......
Zhao Zihan listened to it for a long time, and felt that this gloating voice was a little familiar, and the irrepressible killing intent in the song made him even more vigilant.
There was a sudden overbearing coercion in his spiritual sense, and the familiar smell spread throughout his body and mind, which immediately made him understand who was pretending to be a ghost there, and he was immediately taken aback, and almost fell off his horse.
How is it... How did this evil star come about?
