Chapter 51: The Ancient City

In the evening, Cen Xiyan proposed to keep vigil in groups in shifts, which not only guarded sudden dangers such as wild beasts, but also placed fires to spread, causing forest fires.

Wei San offered to be in a group with Cen Xiyan, and Cen Xiyan saw that he insisted on his attitude, so he nodded helplessly and agreed.

Sure enough, as Cen Xiyan expected, after they took the chisel and hammer post, Wei San chatted with her again.

"In the evening, what are you looking at when Brother Suifeng climbs into a tree?" Wei San asked casually.

"It depends on the weather." Cen Xiyan replied. This, there is nothing to hide.

"Look at the weather?"

"Well, let's see what the weather is tomorrow, what kind of wind it will blow, and whether there will be rain, so I can prepare in advance."

Wei San was surprised and asked, "Brother Suifeng still knows astronomy?" ”

Cen Xiyan chuckled lightly and said casually: "The people who know how to farm understand it." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"'The sun is coronated with three more rains, the moon is halo at noon, the wind is at noon', 'the sun is in the east, the rain is in the west', 'the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles', 'the stars blink, the rain is not far away', 'the sunrise is a little red, and if it doesn't rain, it is the wind'......" Cen Xiyan said several proverbs in one breath, and said with a smile: "These are all proverbs about weather changes passed down by the mouth of the villagers. ”

"But with the wind, you are not a farmer." Wei San was not satisfied with Cen Xiyan's answer.

Cen Xiyan grinned, "I'm just a person who has had a lot of contact with three religions and nine streams, and I've just learned a little bit of everything. ”

"With the wind, you're a little too modest, it's not good."

Cen Xiyan smiled, added some firewood to the fire, and did not answer.

Seeing that Cen Xiyan didn't want to talk more, Wei San didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and asked again, "Then tell me, what day is tomorrow?" ”

"Good day, breeze and no rain, we can go down the mountain by tomorrow evening."

……

The next day, it was a rare good weather.

Because of the poisonous fruit incident, Zhao Er was completely honest, and even Chen Liu and the two guards were cautious, for fear of touching something that should not be touched.

For Cen Xiyan's words, they did not have any objections to obey.

In the evening, a group of men and horses went down the mountain, walked more than 30 miles, and entered Dayan City when it was dark.

This is the largest city in Sichuanzhou, and the culture and customs of many ethnic groups are very complex.

After entering the city, Canghai led the way and rested at a small inn.

This is a mom-and-pop shop, and the owner's family is from the Naxi ethnic group, and Canghai is very familiar with them.

After dinner, the owner of the shop came to invite the guests to a bonfire dance, but Cen Xiyan refused the store's kind invitation on the grounds that he was tired and wanted to rest.

Because she knows that here, the duet songs and dances of ethnic minorities such as Naxi, Mozi, and Lisu are actually a form of choosing lovers and partners.

When I passed by here before, I also went to have fun, and it was very embarrassing to be teased and teased by those bold and unrestrained girls of different races.

Canghai is a lively character, dragging Canghai to the bonfire ball, saying that he would find a beautiful Naxi girl to be his daughter-in-law, and was almost slapped away by the hilt of a sword.

Chen Liu and Zhao Er were also a little eager to try, but seeing that Wei San had no intention of going, they didn't dare to say anything.

Wei San saw their thoughts, so he opened his mouth, "You guys go have fun, but you have to hurry tomorrow, remember to go early and return early." ”

"Don't worry, the third son, you must not be able to delay the business!"

"Yes, we'll go and see, and we'll come back."
