Chapter 9 Wei Wu is unyielding
The morning river breeze is like a sympathetic softness, ambiguous and soft.
The willows are green and green, dancing with the spring breeze from time to time, with a few small flowers in early spring, and for a time it is also red and green, and the scenery is pleasant.
The warm morning sun illuminates the earth, and the smoke and waves on the wharf outside Ezhou City are vast, and the green grass is shy.
"Get up, get up! We're going to anchor! Comrade Wei Wu, who was still in a sweet dream, was woken up by a knock on the door, the passenger ship was also very human, arrived in Ezhou at night, let the tourists rest, until the next morning when the anchor was about to be lifted, only a few sailors were called to knock on the guest rooms of the tourists on the ship one by one.
"Huh? Is it dawn? Wei Wu yawned, his old face full of sleepiness. Last night, he was excited to look for Li Bai again, and then to find Li Muxin, and after searching for a long time without success, he heard a sailor say that the two had left when the passenger ship had just docked in the evening, and then he was cranky in his heart, excited and happy, and reminisced about Li Muxin's peerless elegance, and stayed up until he fell asleep groggily.
At this moment, Wei Wu only felt that he had just fallen asleep, and was thrown off the ship by two tall and burly sailors.
"Grandma is a bear, even Li Bai is very respectful to the fifth brother, these two sailors dare to throw me! Phew, people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is down! Wei Wu patted his aching buttocks and scolded a few words in a low voice.
In the distance, I saw a huge city located in the southeast, and the dark blue city wall was covered with turquoise creepers, which seemed to reflect the long history of this ancient city. On the city gate, there are two vicissitudes of life and the magnificent big character "Ezhou" written in Li.
In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty set up fifteen provinces, and Ezhou was an important town in the west of the Yangtze River, and it was the capital of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.
"This Ezhou is really a big city, much more majestic than Chiyang County!" Wei Wu looked at the first big city he had ever seen in front of him, and admired the architectural level of the ancients, this tall city wall with a wide moat of two feet, it can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Two lazy soldiers at the gate of the city held the spears in their hands, chatting boredly, and from time to time looked at the passers-by with lazy eyes. The soldiers are so lazy, but they can't complain about them, but the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for a long time, Xuanzong has been innovating and inspiring, inspecting the fields and expanding the household to prosper the economy, and at the same time, the military power is also at the top of the world. Therefore, except for the soldiers who often experienced wars on the border, the officers and men in the inland have long been without vigilance, especially in Hubei and Jiangnan.
Wei Wu saw that the faces of passers-by were full of satisfied and happy smiles, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that what the Chinese people had never changed, whether it was now or in their previous lives, was this contentment and happiness. Thinking of his previous life, Wei Wu suddenly felt a little sad, he returned to a thousand years ago, and his parents heard the news of his death, and he didn't know how sad he would be, and Maomao, that pampered but sincere little girl who treated herself. For a while, I just felt that my eyes were a little moist.
Shaking his head, Wei Wu came back to his senses, since God let me go back to a thousand years ago, I will try to live here more freely! Walking into the city along with the passers-by, I thought that it was still early anyway, so it was better to go into the city and then slowly inquire about the location of the Yellow Crane Tower.
The prosperous era of Kaiyuan, it is really amazing, this Ezhou city is not particularly prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, but it is also full of weather, and the people are rich and happy.
Entering the city, you will see a bluestone avenue that can be used for five horses in parallel, pointing straight to the city, the side of the road is full of shops and residences of different architectural styles, passers-by see a ragged little guy, a pair of rag shoes are exposed with thick leg hair, and they can't help but shake their heads, far away from this indecent person.
Wei Wu was quite comfortable, ignoring the surprised eyes around him, shaking his head and looking at the surrounding arcades, his heart was both excited and excited. He has loved ancient culture since he was a child, and he has already visited the modern ancient town many times, and at this time, he suddenly stood in the real Tang Dynasty, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After casually shopping for a while, Wei Wu only felt hungry, touched the dry food stuffed in his arms, and couldn't help teasing: "Grandma, this old man is too stingy, there are so many pastries in Tangpanlou, I don't bring me a bag when I am ordered to go on a business trip, but I give me these few pieces of dry food." He hadn't eaten anything yesterday, and when he reacted at this moment, he felt even more tumbling in his belly, looking around, but saw a small shop in front of him, patted the money bag on his chest, and remembered Duan Qing'er's instructions to him, Wei Wu grinned and ran over.
Wei Wuyi entered this small shop, and immediately asked a meaty fragrance, and couldn't help but drool, and before the "peer" Xiao Er came over, he immediately found a table and sat down. "Little Er, hurry up and serve me some good food to the fifth brother!" Wei Wuda slapped the table grinningly and shouted.
This little second saw a ragged hillbilly in front of him, look at his skin, whether it is yellow or black, it is simply from ploughing the field. Xiao Er walked over without a professional guard, and looked Wei Wudao up and down with a pair of small eyes disdainfully: "Yo, when did we come in this small restaurant to ask for food?" Get out of here, this is not a good hall! ”
Wei Wu's face changed suddenly, Shi can be killed, not humiliated, insult me, but not insult the seven or eight taels of silver in the money bag in my chest! I was indignant in my heart, and I was about to open my mouth to scold back, but I heard a "bang" on the table next to me and the sound of a thief being slapped.
Wei Wu looked back, he couldn't be obedient, there was a big man with a height of eight feet and a waist circumference of more than six feet, with knotted muscles on his arms, and he was blowing his beard and staring at the little er, he took a sharp breath and shouted: "My father and I have traveled thousands of miles from Huazhou!" You little two, why did you let this person who asked for food come in and disturb my father's dinner! His face changed, and he stood up with a thud, and for a moment he felt that the hut was trembling.
The little second boy made a smile on his face, and he bowed and bowed to the big man with a hippie smile, and said with a smile: "Alas, this big brother, I slipped in without paying attention to this guy, and now I'll kick him out!" ”
Xiao Er just stabilized the big man who was about to have a seizure, and immediately turned around and said viciously: "See, you hillbilly, disturbed our guests eating!" Get out of here! ”
"Zongwu! Don't be presumptuous! How many times have I told you! All living beings in the world are equal, how can I stop other guests from coming because I eat here? But it was an old man at the same table who snorted and reprimanded the big man.
The big man's voice just now was so terrifying that for a while no one noticed that there was a handsome girl and an old man sitting at the same table as him.
The old man was dressed in a light green robe, with a long beard and neck, and a calm demeanor between his eyebrows. And the little girl sitting next to him, with delicate eyebrows, big eyes, like the little girl next door, naughty and cute, with white skin as if she could squeeze out water, wearing a long jujube dress, but her figure is also graceful and upright. The girl didn't speak, just looked at the reprimanded man next to her with a smile.
"Yes, Daddy!" The big man who was vigorous and fierce, was reprimanded by his father at this moment, and immediately softened his tone, lowered his head and waved his hands in response.
The little two were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, but when he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper behind the counter waving his hand, and then he came to the table and asked, "Well, this old gentleman, are we going to get rid of this hillbilly, or"
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need! But he didn't want to say a word to this little little boy who peeked at the poor people, he turned his head, looked at Wei Wuyi's chin, and said with a smile: "Little brother, it's wrong for the old man, for the discipline of the good dog Du Zongwu!" Please also forgive the little brother, if you are at the same table as me, let the old father and the little brother make amends! Luckily? ”
Wei Wu saw that this old man understood things, and some good feelings rose in his heart. But thinking that this old man couldn't even discipline his own son well, he couldn't help but despise it in his heart, and secretly snorted, "If it weren't for the little girl next to this old man, how could Fifth Brother Ben pass by casually!" Wei Wu muttered quietly, but quickly moved his butt and sat down opposite the old man.
The three of them looked at the hillbilly in front of them, and not to mention the ragged clothes, except for the strange skin color, the other features were upright, and there was a handsome appearance between the eyebrows.
"Little brother, if you want to eat something, just call it, you don't need to save it for the old man! Today, I will make amends for my little brother! Seeing that Wei Wu actually sat down without any excuse, the old man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then smiled with a smile.
"Okay, then you're welcome!" Wei Wu bared his teeth.
During the banquet, the three of them had a conversation, and it turned out that the three old men had come to Ezhou from Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi) to meet old friends. The old man's name is Du Zimei, the big man Du Zongwu, and this handsome girl is named Du Yan. The three of them saw that Wei Wu was eating and devouring, which was quite indecent, and they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for a long time, why did there be refugees again?
Wei Wu was quite unimpressed, and after eating and drinking enough, he escaped by urinating, but left now.
Du Zimei and the three of them waited for a long time, and found that this Wei Wu was so unreasonable, so he left without saying goodbye. I couldn't help but shake my head, a little annoyed in my heart.
"Little two! Checkout! Du Zongwu slapped the table and shouted.
The little second sneered on his face, ran over and said with a smile: "This strong man, the countryman has already settled the account!" ”
"What?!" Du Zongwu naturally knew that the country boy that this little er was talking about was the little guy named Wei Wu just now, and he was taken aback at this moment, and his tone couldn't help but be heavy, and his already thick voice was even more raised at this moment, only to frighten that little er's face was full of horror.
"Oh? Little Er, is it the little brother who is at the same table as us to settle the bill? Du Zimei confirmed with a little surprise.
"This old gentleman is indeed the countryman who paid the bill!" Xiao Er was a little red at the moment, after all, he almost kicked out the main master.
"This son also asked the little one to bring two sentences, the little one is shallow and doesn't understand its meaning."
"Oh? What words? What are you going to say? Du Zimei's heart suddenly froze.
"The rich can't be silver, the poor can't be moved, and I, Wei Wu, can't bend!" Xiao Er bowed down and said it.;
