The afterglow of the falling sun reflects a whole verdant bamboo forest with a brilliant golden sè, and the heat of the day gradually fades, the breeze blows through the treetops, and countless bamboo leaves gently sway, making a burst of rustling sound, bringing a fresh coolness to the people wandering in the bamboo forest. Therefore, Du Shiyi stood there at this time, both his expression and mood were very happy, because by his side, he was accompanied by a real legend.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm just happy in my heart." Du Shiyi curled the corners of her mouth casually, then stopped, and said to Aunt Gongsun very sincerely, "I have a small request. Although everyone else calls me Du Xiaolangjun, can you omit the small word in it? ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Du Shiyi made it in a serious way, it turned out to be such a request, Aunt Gongsun was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help but laugh. That rare smile appeared on her face, which had been as cold as ice, and it became more and more dazzling. As if she didn't know anything, she saw Du Shiyi staring at her intently, so she said with a smile, "Du Lang faced the Hao Nu today, first stirred up public opinion with half a wonderful poem, and then suggested that he would stay in Songyang Temple. ”

Du Shiyi asked Aunt Gongsun to omit a small character, who expected that she would even remove a word Jun, this sound of Du Lang can simply make people have infinite expectations in their hearts. However, thinking of the previous sword dance, the cold sword momentum that almost came to his nose, his trace of thought disappeared immediately, but he didn't want to show weakness easily.

"Chong Guan is angry and becomes a red face, and it will be the same if he is replaced by others."

"No, even if the Zhao Guogong mentioned by Du Langjun is present, he will only temporarily avoid the edge, and he will not confront that Liu Yushi head-on." Aunt Gongsun put away her banter, turned around slowly, walked to an old bamboo next to the path, and said without looking back, "Du Langjun is in Dengfeng, and I probably don't know what the situation is outside. Since this Liu Yushi got the will to set off from Chang'an, he has gone all the way extremely fast. Shaanzhou, Xin'an, Gong County, the first state and two counties of Dengfeng, all of them were tossed by him, it is said that the people were afraid of the curse of heaven and refused to catch locusts, so he gave the county commanders a death order, and the county bureau sent a whip to drive the people down to the field to catch locusts, and the locusts were not exhausted, and they were not allowed to go home. ”

She said suddenly, then turned around suddenly, and said word by word: "And because the news of his arrival in Dugi Province spread all over the world for a while, Yuncheng, where I was going to go, was originally unwilling to hunt locusts, and the locust hunting envoy urged repeatedly, but the county office has been resisting, and the matter of catching locusts has been delayed, and because he came, the locust hunting envoy had an extremely tough attitude for a while, and forced the county office to recruit people to exterminate locusts, and even the deadline was extremely tight, and the county office was forced to be helpless, and even had to order a reward. For the reward of three or five cents for the locusts, the scoundrels in the market deliberately used this as an excuse to destroy the green seedlings and extort the people to spend money to eliminate the disaster. On the one hand, I had to deal with the locusts sent by the government, and on the other hand, I had to deal with these things, and even the travel on the road was disturbed, so I turned back to Dengfeng. ”

For Du Shiyi, what Aunt Gongsun said was really a great impact. The harm of the locust plague was obvious, but he could not have imagined that the locust trapping, which clearly had more benefits than disadvantages, would come to such a level. originally thought that Liu Nuan was just arrogant and arrogant, bullying others, if the truth is really as Gongsun Auntie said, then the people can imagine how to complain.

"The people may make it to it, but they cannot know it, as has been the case throughout the ages. I heard that when Du Langjun called people to exterminate locusts in Song Qu, he set up a big pot to cook locusts, and ate them like a delicacy. If these locust hunters were also close to the people, instead of blindly high-pressure, the locust plague would naturally be eliminated and the people would be at peace. But they were obviously just in a hurry, and ......" Aunt Gongsun paused, and suddenly stepped forward quickly, stopping only a step or two away from Du Shiyi, "Does Du Langjun know that the locust plague in Shandong last year has not reduced or reduced the annual rent?" ”

"Is this true?"

Seeing Du Shiyi's face full of incredulity, Aunt Gongsun said lightly: "I have been performing in various places in the north for more than a year, this is what I have seen and heard with my own eyes, and it is naturally true." If it is reduced, it will naturally show that the locust plague will harm the people and make a living, and it will be useless to catch locusts. If it is not reduced, it means that as long as the locusts are caught effectively, the disaster situation can be controlled, and the rent can be paid on time. Therefore, whether to reduce or not to reduce is life and death for the people, but it is a matter of political performance for those ministers in the DPRK and China. Although Yao Xiangguo has been in office for several years and has done a lot of good governance, it is also necessary to order the locust-stricken counties to vigorously hunt locusts this time, but it is a pity that the wrong person is used and his selfishness is too heavy! ”

In the face of such sharp judgment, Du Shiyi didn't know whether she should smile bitterly or show other expressions, but she faintly felt in her heart that Aunt Gongsun traveled the world with a sword, as if she was not just a sword dancer. In the bamboo forest, not to talk about the wind and the moon but to talk about such people's livelihood and suffering, at first glance, it should not be a dancer of Gongsun Auntie, he is a white person to take care of the affairs. But at this moment, he couldn't help but look at the face that looked particularly dazzling under the golden sunlight of the stars.

"Ahem...... Ahem! ”

An inopportune cough broke the silence between the two. Du Shiyi turned her head in surprise, but saw that at the end of the path, Du Sanniang was standing there with a bamboo shadow, her face seemed to be disgusted and happy, and she wrinkled her nose vigorously when she saw him coming. At this time, he was stunned for a while, he never thought that Du Sanniang and the master and servant of Bamboo Shadow did not go back to the grass house, but were here in Songyangguan! So, he didn't care about Aunt Gongsun, and hurriedly turned to Du Shisanniang to greet him, and when he saw that the little girl was still sullen and silent, he smiled and called out Thirteen Niang, who knew that the next moment, he only felt that a figure was in his arms.

"Brother, if there is something in the future, don't drive me away, and I don't want to worry about you alone in a safe place!"

felt a damp and hot feeling in his chest, as if Du Sanniang was crying, Du Shiyi saw that the bamboo shadow behind him also turned around, obviously wiping away tears, he hurriedly patted the little girl's back gently, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's okay at all, you, you love to be blind at a young age!" Aren't I a good haode, brother, where is a piece of meat missing......"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly pushed on his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that Du Sanniang's face had turned red, and he was obviously angry, he knew that his gag was counterproductive, so he had to sigh and said: "It's not that Brother wants to leave you, but I am inevitably impulsive sometimes, and I just meddle with things, and I can't be involved in you anymore because ......of this."

"But at that time, I also wanted to step forward to fight the grievances, brother, you clearly stopped me!"

"Fighting? Thirteen Niang, people are not from the county office, or the cronies who supervise the imperial history Liu Nuan, why did you come forward to fight the grievances, what if there is a mistake? Du Shiyi's face suddenly turned sharp, and when he saw that Du Shisanniang was dumbfounded for a while, and the blood on his face gradually faded, he whispered word by word, "Thirteen Niang, don't think that Cui Mingfu respects us, we really have something to do." The family is noble and lowly, and people like Liu Nuan who have a heavenly constitution in their mouths may not be in their eyes, and Cui Mingfu is not so much worried about the time and merits that I first advocated to hunt locusts for him, but rather because of Cui Shiyilang! ”

"Brother......

"It's that you went to Songyang Guan to see, it seems that you are looking for a backup for me, but Sun Daochang is not the Sima Sect Master, his heart is unpredictable, plus because of your affairs before, Song Guan Master has also punished several people, what if those people have a grudge and take the opportunity to be unfavorable to you?"

"Okay, it's all my fault, I admit my mistake!" Du Sanniang's tears were already rolling in her eyes, and after all, she couldn't help but cry and said, "Brother said that I shouldn't be upset, and said that I shouldn't come to this Songyang Temple, but not only did you help Gongsun everyone, but you didn't bring people to Songyang Temple!" ”

Seeing Du Sanniang sobbing and turning around and running, Zhuying was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be anxious. She didn't care about chasing Du Sanniang, and took a step forward and said disregardlessly: "Lang Jun, the lady is looking forward to your return at home, and I am even more happy to be able to enter the city with you today!" Even when she lived in the Dengfeng County Office, Cui Mingfu and his wife even said that they would accept her as a goddaughter, and they gave her a lot of clothes and jewelry. She also rushed to Songyang Guan at three o'clock for you, and in front of Sun Daochang, she only said that Gongsun everyone was in Dengfeng, and nothing else was mentioned! She was just worried about Lang Jun's brother, and she didn't have time to think about anything else! ”

After saying this, Zhu Ying just bent his knees slightly, and then immediately turned around to chase Du Sanniang.

The master and servant disappeared one after the other, and Du Shiyi only felt that her heart was in a mess. At this time, he only heard the voice of Gongsun Auntie behind him: "Although Du Xiaoniang is young, she treats people with a sincere heart, even if she is negligent, Du Langjun should not speak so harshly." Not to mention that it is for me as an outsider. ”

"It's not a question of whether it's an outsider or not." Du Shiyi sighed without looking back, and then said, "It's because I'm too anxious to forget the age of Thirteen Niang." Shicai talked with Gongsun everyone this time, and I gained a lot. Now I have to go and talk to Thirteen Niang, and say goodbye first. ”

"Rushing to the crown and being angry for the red face......"

When the white-clothed figure had disappeared, muttering the sentence that Du Shiyi seemed to spit out casually just now, and thinking of the half of the poem that had not yet been completed, Aunt Gongsun only felt that there were mixed feelings in her heart. That night of sleeping in the same room did not leave much trace in her heart, although he seemed to see his own face after still falling asleep, and even she set off early in the morning with the disciples did not notice it, although she had heard on the way to Yuncheng that Jingzhao Du Ling Du 19 ate locusts in public, and took the lead in driving ducks and swallowing locusts, and then the people of the four towns all vigorously raised ducks and pigs, and some of the brave people fed on locusts, but in her journey, there were countless such passers-by. However, today's righteous relief is inevitably deeply engraved in her heart, especially the scene of cheering at that moment.

"Today, there is a beautiful woman Gongsun, a sword dance in all directions. The viewer is depressed, and the heaven and earth are low for a long time. Huo Ruyi shè nine rì falls, and is like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to collect anger, and like the river and sea condense the light...... I don't know, but there's a ...... to come."
