Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tsema Jiangdong (II)

The man who raised the horse was called Mashi, and when he heard it, he knew that it was a pseudonym, but in troubled times, for people who had no home, the name was just an external object. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The appearance of the hemp shirt makes people can't see how old he is, he has a thousand sails in his eyes, a linen dress is uninhibited, and the "Xiaolinzi" he calls in his mouth is Zhidaolin.

Hermits who don't know how to cook, what do they eat on weekdays, Xie An saw Zhi Daolin's helpless appearance, smiled, rolled up his sleeves and went to help.

The cottage in the mountains is simple and elegant, the stables are cleaner than the owner's house, the bamboo forest is deep in the ground, countless fallen leaves can be used as firewood, wild vegetables and herbs can be seen everywhere, the hedges are full of purple flowers, freshly sprinkled with water, and the dew on the petals shines like pearls in the sun.

The kitchen is full of tools, but there are no materials to eat, and Zhi Daolin only blames himself for negligence, and he has eaten the food of the hemp shirt when he stayed here a few days ago.

Ma Xiang and Wang Tian went to look for game with bows and arrows, Xie An gave some pastries to Wang Xizhi, but Wang Xizhi wanted to feed the horses, Xie An only then did he notice that Ma Xiang's horse was handsome, with smooth fur, and it was a white horse, so white that there was no variegation.

No wonder Zhi Daolin has to stay here for a few days, just to see this horse, horse lovers can't ask for it, and they are satisfied if they can take a few more looks.

Half an hour later, the two hunters came back, and Ma Xiang was holding a chicken in his hand, which Wang Tian bought in a mountain farmhouse, the reason is that both of them are reluctant to kill, and they are vegetarians on weekdays, but it is always right to have guests come to eat some meat, and Xie An and Wang Xizhi are both children, how can they just eat wild vegetables.

But no one dared to kill this chicken, Xie An asked the servant to hold the neck of the chicken, and he carried a knife to bleed the chicken, Wang Xizhi watched silently on the side, there was neither fear nor disgust in his eyes, Xie An was stained with chicken feathers, she also reached out to pick it, and said to him gently: "Daddy is also very good at cooking, and after Auntie gave birth to me, his body was weak, so he looked for the old hen everywhere to stew soup for Auntie, and he would also kill the chicken, saying that he would make it for Auntie to eat." ”

There is a lotus pond near the house, because the lotus root can be dug in the dry lotus season, Xie An asked a few Lang Jun who were waiting to eat to pick the lotus leaves for him, and then let them dig a pit in the ground, the lotus leaves wrapped the processed chicken, plus some condiments he brought, and the chicken called flower wrapped in soil was slowly baked.

The main thing on this trip is to see the horse, the white horse is still very young, followed by a small black horse with thin legs to break, Zhi Daolin said that this black horse is good if it grows up.

Xie An didn't understand horses, but he felt that he was a good horse when he looked energetic, Ma Xiang smiled and caught Wang Xizhi chatting, one said the horse and the other said the goose, and finally Ma Xiang laughed loudly: "The goose of the little lady's family is good, and my horse is a natural pair." ”

Tell the flower chicken to do a good job, other wild vegetables are better to deal with, and Zhi Daolin is also good at making vegetarian dishes, although now Buddhists do not restrict the eating of meat, when it is time to eat, Ma Xiang unceremoniously pulled a chicken leg to eat, Wang Tian and Zhi Daolin smelled the fragrance and swallowed saliva but still did not break the vows, Xie An and Wang Xizhi ate the pastries and ate half full, so they simply went to the stable to try to ride a horse.

Ma Xiang held the chicken leg in his mouth, and said in a vague voice: "The little lady don't try to ride, let him ride." ”

Wang Xizhi has not learned to ride a horse, he can only watch Xie An ride, Xie An stepped on a wooden stool to get on the horse, at first the horse was quite docile, he simply reached out and wanted to pull Wang Xi up, but he didn't think that the horse was slapped on the buttocks by the hemp shirt, and it was like being lit with firecrackers and sprinkled out with hooves.

This white horse seems docile, but running is another matter, Xie An grabbed its neck, and saw the bamboo forests on both sides swishing past the field of vision, stepping on flowers and plants, and knocking over fences, it was no different from a bully rampaging in the countryside.

Xie An suddenly thought of Guo Pu's four words "riding a horse in Jiangdong", this time it was not a horse, but a horse slipped away, if he hadn't desperately grabbed the horse, he would have been thrown to the ground a long time ago.

Xie An was wondering if he had offended the unmasked hemp shirt somewhere, or if he was deliberately looking for a draw, and he knew that he would not agree to Zhi Daolin to come to see the horse yesterday.

In the end, the horse seemed to run hot, and when he encountered a river, he threw himself directly into it, and the shallow grass could not have horses' hooves, and the deep water would be able to drown the horse's head, and the second half of the sentence was what Xie An thought when he was thrown into the water, and then his head hit the stones in the river.

"If you were my horse, you wouldn't have anything to eat today! Also, corporal punishment is mandatory! Xie An wanted to pull a few hairs at it, but he didn't want to meet the horse's big wet eyes, and suddenly lost his temper.

"I can't give it to you right now, because you're so bad at riding." The laughter of the hemp shirt sounded by the river, without giving him face at all, the chicken leg turned into chicken bones, he could come quickly, and he still had time to eat the chicken leg, Xie An couldn't help but look at this beggar-like hermit with admiration.

Xie An Weihe, "This horse is much more wild than in the barracks." ”

"It's Pegasus." Ma Xiang smiled, and said seriously, "There are not many people who can control it." ”

Xie An looked at the man's messy beard and thought, it is a heavenly horse, and you are not like Bi Ma Wen, after all, he is the Monkey King.

"Your food is much better than riding, the children of the family are really good at cooking, it seems that this Jiangnan terroir raises people, and the rolling wind and smoke turn into clear water and quiet streams, but it's a pity that the man can't just have the style of a literati, and he has to have a strong iron backbone." Ma Xiang laughed directly, "If you don't have iron bones, don't want to ride my horse, Xiao Linzi cried and wanted this horse, but he couldn't ride it at all." ”

Xie An pondered, what did this person want to say? He was cautious and did not answer him for a moment.

Ma Xiang said to himself: "Do you want to go to Luoyang to have a look?" I have been to Chang'an, stepped on Luoyang, and finally came to Jiankang City, where the dragon is in the purple east, but I found that the dragon was trapped in the boat and could not move forward. ”

"Is Jiankang Feng Shui bad?" Xie An saw that he was a little off-topic, but he couldn't help but retort.

Ma Xiang smiled, "You know Jiankang's feng shui better than me." ”

"I don't know how to do it." Only then did Xie An realize that he had never called himself by his name, and had always referred to him as "you", and this sense of strangeness seemed to be very far away between the two.

"Yes, you don't understand, you don't need to understand, but you know that this is not a place to stay for a long time, and your beloved Wuyi Alley will eventually turn to dust, and after a thousand years, it will be trampled on. The books and ink of you and your beloved girl will be turned into dust and ashes, and what will remain is only a copy of the book for posterity, and the soul of your book in the paper and ink has long since dissipated. ”

"What do you want to do in the future? Make friends with a group of children of the family, leave a name on the ink soul list, and can't marry the girl you like, so retreat to the second, anyway, with your current reputation, there will inevitably be many girls from all over the family to choose from after the age of sixteen, you look good, and there will be a lot of girls who like you, you can definitely find a satisfactory girl from the family to marry and have children with her, the political situation in Jiankang is too chaotic, you can refuse to go to the county of Sanwu, find a mountain and live a leisurely life...... Or you do business secretly, you make a lot of money, recruit troops, and marry princesses, and then you marry all the beautiful and famous girls around you, and then you sit on the cold throne, looking at the courtiers prostrate on the main hall, and your harem has three thousand beauties, but your favorite girl has long since left you, and finally you die alone......"

The more Xie An listened, the more angry he became, and he was even a little angry, "What do you mean that I can't marry the girl I like?" ”

"You can't control my Pegasus, and you want to marry a girl more precious than a phoenix?" Seeing that he showed a slightly stunned expression like a fried cat, Ma Xiang finally showed a sly smile, "I said, my Pegasus is very compatible with her big white goose, and if you can't get my horse, you won't be worthy of that girl." ”

"And I said so many ridiculous things, you only remember that girl in your head, it seems that you still have some merit, but if you want to do great things, you must be cold-blooded and ruthless."

"I'm not the emperor, and I don't want to be the one who is alone, if you curse me again, I ......"

Xie An glared at him, if he had a weapon, he would probably be beaten at this time, after all, this person was born a strong man, and if he wanted to kick it, he had to think about whether his foot would hurt.

How the hell did Zhi Daolin meet this madman? The words were like a dream.

Ma Xiang sighed, "When others hear what I say, they will think I'm crazy, but you won't. ”

Xie An's face was full of impatience and wanted to beat someone, "You know me?" Did you spy on me? If you've looked into it, you'll know that I'm not in a bad temper at all. ”

"I was wrong, I just made up all the words to anger you, and I'm not Guo Pu, where can I calculate so many things. In the world of the gate valve family, it is not a casual cat or dog who can dominate the country, of course, I don't say that you are a cat and a dog, Wang Xie Huanyu, in this era, except for these four surnames, where are the others to stay cool! Ma Xiang's crazy appearance made Xie An really grit his teeth, and then he showed a scoundrel apologetic, "Actually, I'm testing you, forgetting that you are only ten years old now, I'm early, when you grow up, you fight with me, you are angry, we can continue to chat." ”

"!" Xie An stood in the water, beside the horse like a chicken in soup, looking at him with an innocent face, as if to say, I ran fast just now, ask for praise.

Ma Xiang glanced at the horse aggrievedly: "The horse will return me." ”

"Whoever is rare is a fool." Xie An finally raised his foot and gently kicked the horse's buttocks, telling it to go quickly.

"I'll come back to you in three years." Ma Xiang stepped forward, pulled the horse back from the water, and said, "If you were still alive at that time." ”

Curse me again? Xie An crumpled the note that Guo Pu wrote to him and threw it into the water, "It's some magic sticks that are all meowed, and they are riding horses in Jiangdong?" Bloodlight? If I hadn't grabbed the horse's neck, I would have almost died today, right? Did you know him? ”

Ma Yu looked at him quietly, reached out and rubbed his head with a bump the size of an egg, and sighed, "Guo Pu has calculated too much, but it has reduced his own lifespan, and now he is alive because of his stolen life, so he is powerless to solve your difficulties." I spare my life, so I didn't say anything, watching Chang'an overturn and Luoyang reduced to ruins......"

Xie An wanted to move away, but he didn't think that this person was so angry, so he had to ask, "You mean that this is not the bloody disaster that Guo Pu said?" If you don't see blood, it's not called a bloody disaster? So I'm going to be cheated again? ”

Ma Yu didn't speak, and nodded for a long time.

"Do you want to go back to Luoyang?" Ma Xiang's eyes were clear, "If you want to, I will help you raise this horse for another three years, and after three years, it will take you to Luoyang, although this is a long road, but it recognizes the road to Luoyang." ”

"You're such a madman." Xie An said softly, a vigilant sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You seem to know a lot, if you are heard by others, you will think that you are crazy, I don't think I will, so you are the same kind of person as me?" ”

"It's not." Ma Xiang seemed to understand what he meant by "one type of person", "I just know more than ordinary people, and I have lived longer than ordinary people." ”

"Xie An." Ma Xiang finally called his name, his eyes were full of the affection of the elders for the juniors, "You have to work hard!" ”

"Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps; Ten horses, the merit is relentless; Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. Xie An got goosebumps, "I carried it when I was in school. ”

"I really have to work hard to live!" Ma Xiang led the horse slowly away from the river beach, at this time it was almost dusk, the sun was as deep as blood, he led the horse slowly away, as if to walk into the bloody sunset.

Xie An looked at his tattered linen clothes and felt dizzy, but he was still a little excited, which was explained by modern medicine as excessive adrenaline secretion.

Wang Xie Huan Yu...... This person still leaked the secret of heaven, right? Xie An thought about it and smiled inexplicably, this is getting more and more interesting, but isn't the most ridiculous thing his own existence? It's already a wisp of ghosts that have crossed over, so what do you care about, what kind of mysteries, illusions, heavenly horses, or heavenly machines?

If you come to it, you should be at ease, you should be like your own name, you should be like a rock, and no matter who or what you do in the future, you must be calm.
