In the first year of Jian'an, on the streets of Xiangyang City, children with peach branches in their hands were playing on the streets, and they sang a nursery rhyme.

Yicheng Ma Saburo,

Planted with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

In Xiangyang City, in the courtyard of the Pang family, an old man with gray hair was about to write something on white paper with a brush, when he suddenly heard a nursery rhyme sung by children outside the door, and said with a slight smile: "It's the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, don't you go to Yicheng to have a look?" ”

Behind the old man stood a scribe, whose face was dark, his hair thin, his eyebrows were thick, his lips were crooked, his eyes were squinted, and his ugly features were gathered together to make it difficult for people to tell his true age. He is like a tree that will never bloom, without youth, he is Pang Tong. Pang Tong listened to the old man's words, shook his head and said, "Uncle, my nephew is not in the mood. ”

Pang Degong smiled, wrote a line of words on the white paper with a pen, then rolled up the white paper and put it in a bamboo tube and handed it to Pang Tong, saying, "Then you go to see your friend and give him this letter by the way." ”

Pang Tong reluctantly opened his eyes wide, his eyes were full of bloodshots, he sighed and took the bamboo tube, and asked, "Uncle, is this your evaluation of Ma Laosan?" ”

Pang Degong hummed and said, "Don't peek on the road." ”

Pang Tong nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and returned to Pang Degong's side, gritted his teeth, and finally couldn't help asking: "Uncle, you went to Xi's house to help me propose marriage, why is it Pang Lin who finally decided to marry?" [Pang Lin: Pang Tong's brother]

Pang Degong picked up the brush and typed a 'cross' on Pang Tong's face, and then said, "I think you understand why?" Wash your face, then go to sleep, and when you wake up, go to Yicheng to find your friends! ”

Pang Tong didn't ask any more questions, walked to the well and drew some water, poured it into the wooden basin, and slowly rubbed his face.

Pang De said fairly: "In the eyes of the Xi family, Pang Lin's skin is better than yours, I know that you are a hundred times stronger than Pang Lin, otherwise I would not have carefully educated you." ”

Pang Tong washed his face and knelt on the ground to pay tribute to Pang Degong, and after saluting, Pang Tong said: "Uncle, nephew will go to Yicheng." ”

Pang Degong nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said: "The phoenix chick has not spread its wings, and the crow does not know that it is the phoenix. On the way to the growth of the phoenix, there is a unicorn company, and it is not wonderful. ”

Two days later, on the outskirts of Yicheng, the boy sat under the blooming peach blossoms and fell asleep, the young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, three peach blossoms fell on his long hair like black jade, his smooth and fair face was glossy like peach blossoms, and the two thick eyebrows were also flooded with soft ripples, and his face seemed to have been hiding a smile, even if he was sleeping. The sun was dancing on his long eyelashes. The peach-colored lips opened slightly, and a trace of silver thread flowed from the corners of the mouth. The young man's name is Ma Hong, and his nickname is Ma Saburo.

Pang Tong rode a donkey, and when he saw that the handsome young man was sleeping soundly, he rode to the young man's side, stepped on the young man's head with one foot and jumped off the donkey. Ma Hong only felt his head sink and stood up with his eyes open, stretched out his hand to Pang Tong's nose and scolded: "Ugly donkey, you dare to put your hooves on my handsome head." ”

Pang Tongyi reached out and took off the wine jug on the young man's waist, poured a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Ma Laosan, thank you for the wine." ”

Ma Hong glanced at Pang Tongyi's eyes, snatched the wine jug and tied it around his waist, then leaned on the peach tree with his hands on the back of his head and said solemnly: "Ugly donkey, your uncle went to propose marriage to you, why did the person who decided to marry become Pang Lin's little brat?" ”

Pang Tong sighed and said with a little sadness: "Could it be that it was revealed that we peeked at your cousin taking a bath, so she lost her good impression of me?" ”

Ma Hong couldn't help laughing, holding his chin with his hand and pretending to think seriously, before he said after a while: "It's okay that you didn't marry my cousin, otherwise I wouldn't have called you cousin-in-law." But I'm still chilled, my cousin's flower was stuck in your brother's dung. ”

Seeing Ma Hong's unbearable expression, Pang Tong patted Ma Hong's shoulder and said, "Anyway, I'm three years older than you, it stands to reason that you have to call me brother, and now I can't even marry your cousin, you might as well call me a cousin-in-law and make me happy." ”

Ma Hong pointed to the food table under the peach tree, on which were a plate of boiled soybeans, a plate of fried small fish, and two jars of rice wine. Ma Hong said: "It's March, and drinking under this blooming peach blossom tree is also a unique style, come and come, sit down quickly." ”

Pang Tong rode a donkey all the way, and when he saw that there was good wine and snacks, he walked unceremoniously towards the food table, and Ma Hong, who was familiar with it, suddenly kicked his ass in the back. Pang Tong leaned forward, his foot stepped on a soft place, and before he could lift his foot, he heard a snap, and then fell into the hole. Pang Tong patted the sand on his body, and instantly understood the reason for the fall, this Ma Hong dug a hole more than two meters deep, placed some dry firewood and leaves at the mouth of the hole, and covered the surface with sand and made a trap, just to calculate him.

At this time, Ma Hong moved the food table to the entrance of the cave, sat at the entrance of the cave, opened the wine jar, poured a bowl of rice wine, chewed soybeans and wine, and said while drinking wine: "According to the old rules, I will make an anagram, if you can answer it, I will give you a chance to make an anagram, if I can't answer, I will let you up, how about it?" ”

Pang Tongyi sat on the ground and said angrily: "If you compare intelligence, when have I ever been afraid of you, right?" ”

Ma Hong laughed, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "There is a sound of the waning moon in the middle of the window, what is the word?" ”

Pang Tong lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and laughed: "And it's not the word "dome". ”

Ma Hong was stunned for a moment, put down the wine bowl and said, "Then you have a question." ”

Pang Tong rolled his eyes, narrowed his eyes into a slit again, and said slowly: "When the bright moon is full of boats, guess!" ”

A piece of peach blossoms fell with the wind, Ma Hong stretched out his hand to catch the peach blossoms and put them in the wine bowl, pinched a soybean and threw it into the hole, Pang Tong caught the soybean and put it in his mouth and smiled: "What?" Can't answer? ”

Ma Hong smiled and said, "Look at you, isn't this the word "Xiao"?

Pang Tong smiled: "Isn't it too monotonous to guess the word puzzle, I have more interesting things, do you see it?" ”

Ma Hong smiled: "What? ”

Pang Tong took out the bamboo tube from his arms and said: "I have already helped you bring the nursery rhyme to Xiangyang, most of the celebrities in Xiangyang have heard it, and my uncle has also heard it, and he has also written an evaluation of you." If you want to see it, pull me up, and if you don't, I'll eat my uncle's letter to you. ”

Ma Hong hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't, don't, I'll pull you up." ”

After Ma Hong put down the rope and pulled Pang Tong up, Pang Tong stretched out his finger and pointed to the bamboo tube in the hole, and said, "Hey, I accidentally left the bamboo tube inside, why don't you go down and pick it up?" ”

Ma Hong looked at Pang Tong with a smile on his face, although he knew that Pang Tong was returning his body with his own way, he still jumped down, because he couldn't wait to know what Pang Degong said about him. When Ma Hong jumped into the hole and opened the bamboo tube, he took out the letter and found that it was a blank piece of paper, and nothing was written on it.

Ma Hong looked at the blank paper, raised his head and said to Pang Tong: "I was tricked by you, Pang Degong didn't write to me at all, right?" ”

Pang Tong took out a piece of paper and shook it at Ma Hong and said with a smile: "Do you want me to read it to you, if you can make me happy, I will not only pull you up, but also read it to you." ”

Ma Hong smiled bitterly: "How can I please you, it's better to wait until you enter the city, I'll take you to Xiangfu, and the eldest sister of Xiang Pet is also good." ”

Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "If you call me cousin-in-law now, I'll pull you up." Or I'll just sit here and drink and wait until it gets dark. ”

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he went to take the wine jar and pour wine into the wine bowl, but when he picked up the wine jar, he found that the wine jar was empty, he lowered his head to look at Ma Hong in the cave, Ma Hong untied the wine jug on his waist and smiled at him.

Pang Tong looked around and saw that there was no one, so he began to untie his pants at the hole. The wine in Ma Hong's mouth squirted out, pointed at Pang Tong and shouted, "Ugly donkey, what are you going to do?" ”

Pang Tong laughed and said, "It's convenient." ”
