Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. That night, I talked to the proprietress about it.

The existence of this Yelang country has been two thousand years ago, and there is no specific time when they moved out, but the approximate time can be inferred from Li Bai's death, Li Bai died in 762 AD, if the legend is true, then the plague of this Yelang country also broke out at this time, that is, between 762-765. Then it's been more than a thousand years now.

If it is 25 years, then 40 generations have passed. Relying on word of mouth, it is estimated that there is nothing left, and after walking for three months, from winter to spring, it is not easy to leave this information.

The amount of information in the whole sentence is still very large, at least it can prove that the seat of this Yelang City is relatively high in altitude and has four seasons. Walking for three months, if you calculate it, the walking speed of a normal person to work or school is five kilometers per hour, but it is much slower if you take the family and the mouth, especially the collective walking will be slower, about 3 kilometers per hour, if you walk for 8 hours a day, it is 24 kilometers, and it is about 2400 kilometers after walking down in three months.

This is just a theoretical number, and if they don't keep it, they will stop and go, and with the addition of climbing mountains and mountains, this number will be greatly discounted, or even discounted to one-tenth. No one can say how much.

There is also a key question, will someone take advantage of the fire to rob at that time? After the plague broke out in the country this night, it basically lost its national defense capability, so a force came to rob it. In desperation, the people of Yelang Country absconded overnight and threw an empty city to those who robbed.

The most important thing is that if they carry a large amount of gold and silver treasure with them, they will definitely not take the big road or the small road in order to avoid the pursuers, and if they plunge headlong into the mountains and forests, they will walk even more slowly.

Therefore, there is no point in considering the time of three months. The idea of relying on time to extrapolate distance is not feasible.

The proprietress was behind the counter sorting out the day's accounts, fiddling with the abacus. It was quickly done and the ledger was closed.

I leaned against the counter and said, "Is there an ancestral hall in Yelang Town?" ”

"There is an ancestral hall, what are you looking for an ancestral hall to do?"

I said, "Just ask, by the way, do you have a family tree?" ”

"There are genealogies, but the records are very vague, and there is no year, that is, after the Ming Dynasty, the year began, and I can't understand anything."

I said, "Are they all Han names?" ”

"Yes, we started using Chinese names a long time ago, and everyone has a Chinese name."

I said, "I'm interested in your genealogy, can you show me your genealogy?" ”

"Then you go to the patriarch, our patriarch is very kind." The proprietress looked at the quartz clock on the wall at this time, and she said, "But it's not too early, the patriarch's house closes early, and I'll let someone take you there tomorrow." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, prepare more meat dishes, let's stay longer, get more meat, and put less peppers." Northerners are not very spicy. ”

"Yes." The proprietress said with a smile.

Back in the room, Huzi was lying on the bed reading a book. This place is quite cold at night, and Huzi is still wearing clothes when he is huddled in the bed, and he is holding a book with his arms exposed, and he is very happy to read.

I said, "You're almost done with the second volume." ”

"I didn't have time to look at it, I just saw half of it. I didn't want to finish reading it anytime soon, so I brought a set of books with me, and I didn't read them after I finished reading them. Huzi said, "I haven't seen a bookstore in the whole town, so I asked, if you want to buy books, you have to go to the county to buy them." ”

I said, "It's not that far away in the county. ”

"Lao Chen, how many days are we going to stay here? The thought of a thousand yuan a day in interest makes my heart bleed! Lao Chen, do you really give it? ”

I said, "Or else?" They are great magicians, and they spend every day with us, and there is still a team to raise at home. ”

"If it costs a month, it's 30,000 yuan!"

I said, "That's no way, let the wealth go to people's comfort, and the wealth will be ruined." ”

Huzi sighed, then looked at me happily, and said, "Lao Chen, the third aunt really likes this Miss Wanwan, why don't you shoot her, so that she won't chase you for debts." ”

I glared at Huzi: "What do you think, I like Hu Xian." ”

Huzi pouted and said: "The little fox fairy is really good, but the family is really not very good, and it is mysterious, our simple family is really not suitable for this kind of girl." Lao Chen, you listen to my advice, Wanwan is more suitable for you than Hu Xian. ”

"Let's not talk about this topic now, okay? It's better for us to study the seat of this Yelang Ancient City. ”

Huzi said: "Ask the old hunter more, our second father took us to the Black Dragon Valley." ”

I said, "Maybe this trick is not good, if the old hunter found the ancient city, he would have brought people back a long time ago." This ancient city is far away from this Yelang Town, at least more than 100 kilometers. ”

Huzi said: "In this case, it will be troublesome." ”

"Do you have any ideas?"

Huzi put the book down and said, "What can I think, there are mountains on the left and right sides of this, and I don't have any ideas at all." ”

I didn't expect Huzi to help me at this time.

I took off my clothes and got into the bed, and I also took a book and read it. I can't be too anxious to read it, or there will be a situation where I finish reading the first volume and the second volume of Huzi hasn't finished reading it, in that case, I'm in a hurry.

When I woke up the next morning and squatted in the yard to brush my teeth, Yuwanwan squatted beside me and brushed my teeth with me. After brushing, he said to me with foam on his mouth, "Do you have any plans for today?" ”

I said, "Huzi and I will go to the patriarch's house, and you will visit the old people and old hunters in the town, maybe there will be some clues." ”

Yuwanwan said, "I'm going to be with you." ”

As soon as I heard the amusement, I wiped the foam from my mouth with my hand, and I said, "Don't you think I'm a liar!" ”

Yuwanwan said: "At the beginning, I really thought you were a liar, but through the contact in the past few days, I feel that you are okay." ”

I said, "You don't come, I'm not a good person." But I won't default on the debt, and I promised you that I would give it to you when I went back. ”

I turned around and walked back, and Yuwanwan chased after me and said, "Take me, I'm more familiar with you, and I'm not familiar with them." ”

I stopped, but Yuwanwan didn't stop, and it hit me in the back. I turned around, and she was looking at me with her chin up defiantly, and said, "You're going to brake hard!" ”

I said, "You rear-ended, you know?" ”

I took a closer look, she has a delicate face, short hair shows that she is very capable, long neck, broad shoulders, thin waist, long legs, fat where it should be fat, thin where it should be thin, gentle and intellectual, no matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye.

I have to laugh in my heart, what the fucking four beauties are bullshit, at least now it seems that this Miss Wanwan is much more spiritual than fair-skinned.

Yuwanwan looked at me and said, "What do you see, I'm not convinced!" ”

I said, "Okay, you can follow me from now on, so as not to be embarrassed." ”

Yuwanwan also wiped the foam on her mouth with the back of her hand at this time, and she changed the topic and said, "What's going on between you and the Hu family?" ”

"No comment." With that, I strode towards my room.

After breakfast, one of the proprietress cousins took us to the patriarch's house, an old man in his seventies, dressed in the national costume of the Yi people.

We came with a gift, although it was only a few catties of eggs and two cans, but it was a necessary courtesy.

When I asked to see the genealogy, the patriarch readily agreed, and then went out of the house and led us along the riverbank towards the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is located at the foot of the mountain by the river, and there are many stone towers built of stones around the ancestral hall, and these stone towers are very peculiarly built, like the faces of people with two horns, and their mouths are particularly large, like wild beasts.

The houses here are all wooden houses, and the construction craftsmanship is exquisite, but this kind of house is not suitable in the north, it is too thin, and it cannot withstand the bitter cold of winter. Two horns also stick out of the roof of the house, and it can be seen that the Yelang people worship horns, and they should think that this is a symbol of strength.

The ancestral hall is in a large courtyard, and there is a big tree with a diameter of three meters in the middle of the courtyard. Not far behind the big tree is the ancestral hall, which is a double-story structure, and there are two long horns sticking out of the roof, making the house look like a beast.

The patriarch took out the key and opened the door, and we followed. He told us to wait in the hall for a while, and then went into the back room himself, and after about five minutes, he pulled out a large scroll. It's a parchment roll.

Then the patriarch slowly placed the parchment roll on the table, unfolding it little by little. High-quality and free reading is in the Reading Pavilion.
