Goodbye to the person you wanted
Since An Geng got the white dragon foal, he has been with it almost every day, often riding it to hunt, taking it to bathe on the bank of Huanlong Creek, and often telling it that he had a relationship in Anshun Mansion but did not know the name and address of the girl in white. The longer the days, the heavier the longing. An Yin finally decided to find a time to go to Anshun Mansion again.
The sun rose the next day, and An Yin was still asleep, when he heard the tide of the market outside. Rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes, he remembered that he was in the sheep farm today, and he thought that he was bored anyway, so he got up and went out for a walk.
The bazaar is lined up in Anzhuang, and the people who have settled down have already set up stalls and started business, and salt and fine cloth are neatly arranged at the entrance of Anzhuang.
Wild game in and out of the mountains: hares, wild ducks, pheasants, yellow muntjac, bamboo rats, small wild boars......
Wild vegetables in the countryside and rural areas: folded ear root, celery, wild tomatoes, beans, baby greens, small radish vegetables......
Livestock in captivity: chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, horses, and herds of goats......
There are also food and daily necessities: rice, flour, beans, needlework and clothing......
An Yin walked around, but didn't see a girl with good eyes, which was a little unexpected disappointment. was about to go home and ask his father An Bingtian when he would go to Anshun to carry salt, but he saw his grandfather and Zhizhen coming towards him, and it was too late to avoid it.
Grandpa was dressed in a navy blue robe, a white sheep's horn beard, and held a cigarette holder made of a large carp back bone in his hand, and a cigarette holder made of copper head and jade polishing, on which hung a fire phoenix carved from agate.
Zhizhen was also dressed in a white robe, his hair was tied in a knot on the top of his head, a silver hairpin passed through it, and he was holding a silk paper fan in his hand, and he was talking and laughing with An Gong and walked over.
An Yin had to go up and call his grandfather and say hello to Zhizhen. An Gongdao: "Stinky boy, wandering around here early in the morning, I don't know how to help take care of the business, I don't know who I will entrust this business to in the future!" An Yin hurriedly agreed casually and ran back home.
To be honest, he didn't know anything about business and wasn't interested. Since I was a child, I knew that I went down to the river to fish, went up to the mountains to hunt, and lived a worry-free life. At that time, my brother An Geng was still there, and the family pinned their hopes on my brother, but who knew that my brother would encounter an accident. Although there are still more than a dozen cousins, it seems that all of them are idle now, and only An Yin is simpler in his heart. An Gong can only pin his hopes for the future An family on him, but now that he is almost an adult, he still doesn't care about business, and he only knows how to ride horses and shoot arrows all day long, and wander around, which is really worrying.
After lunch, An Yin pretended to run to help sell salt, and asked his father when he would go to Anshun to buy salt, and his father was very surprised, how did his son, who had never asked about business, ask about business today, so he was relieved to tell him that the goods had been sold almost today, and he would leave tomorrow. An Yin was very happy when he heard this, and hoped that he would be able to meet the person he had been thinking about tomorrow. An Yin said seriously: "Father, I am almost grown up now, I want to learn the things that students want, and besides, it is a long way to Anshun, and there are rampant bandits all the way, and I am also learning a skill now, and I want to escort the goods with the horse gang, what do you think?" When my father heard this, he was very moved, and he promised to go to the road with him tomorrow.
Seeing that his father agreed, An Yin pretended to look around somewhere, and without much effort, he quietly slipped away. Leave the stall and run directly to the racecourse, pull out the white dragon horse, and fly on horseback. In a blink of an eye, he ran to the horse washing pond, washed the horse spotlessly, and he also turned over and sank to the bottom of the water as a carp, dived more than ten meters in one breath, stood on the opposite bank, and lay on the bluestone slab humming a little song to slowly poke and wash his body. When the sun set, I rode a white horse back to the door of my house slowly, tied the horse under the big walnut tree, walked home and had dinner and lay down on the bed, just waiting for the dawn.
In his sleep, he heard his mother calling his name, and quickly turned over and got up. Mother said: "Last night, I heard your father say that you are going to Anshun with you today, you should not hurry up, do not delay the hour, you must be careful on the road, listen to your father's arrangement, do not be reckless!" When I came out, I saw that more than 30 horses were loaded with food, and everyone was ready, just waiting for An Gong's order to set off immediately. Grandpa and Zhizhen stood at the door, grandpa holding a carp cigarette stick, watching everyone get ready to go. An Yin had been to Anshun with his father a few times in the past few years, but only this time it was voluntary. Since the business of the An family was handed over to his father, every time the An family horse gang went out, his grandfather had to see him off in person, so that he could feel at ease.
When Grandpa saw An Yin, he asked in surprise, "Are you going to do business with your father today?" An Yin hurriedly nodded and replied: "I have also grown up, and I want to contribute something to our family, otherwise my brother will laugh at me for being playful all day." ”
"Since you think so, then learn from your father" An Gong said with relief, "Now you can go, everyone be careful all the way!" ”
In addition to An Yin's father and son, there are also his three cousins: An Kui, An Lin and An Biao. There are more than 30 other horsemen and family members who can do boxing and kicking, and there is Fu Chengying, the master who taught Anyin boxing and kicking since childhood.
It was already noon when I went out of the sheep farm to the horse farm, and there was a noodle shop where everyone was hungry, so they hurried away to eat anything. It was already afternoon when he arrived in Puding, and An Bingtian was afraid of delaying the grain store in Anshun to collect grain, so he had to urge everyone to hurry up and rush to Anshun. An Yin was very impatient with the white dragon horse and waiting, but he didn't dare to move forward without permission, so he had to follow the pack grain horse gang to walk slowly. And the three cousins were even more grumbling.
Finally, in the evening, he arrived at the Anshun Tongda Grain Store, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be a housekeeper came out and was busy asking someone to weigh him, and he was very polite to An Bingtian, and asked a woman to come out and pour water to quench everyone's thirst. About an hour to complete the transaction, An Bingtian and the middle-aged man politely said a few words, took a bag of gold and silver and led everyone along the street to an inn, the shopkeeper was busy and the horse settled in the back courtyard, everyone was hungry, shouting at the store to hurry up and fry the food. After a full meal, the groom went to the guest room to rest because he was too tired, while An Yin's three cousins winked at each other and said that they were going to buy some daily necessities and casually visit the flower city of Anshun. An Bingtian told them a few words, so he had to go with them. And Fu Chengying looked a little disgusted, and scolded in his heart: "It's not rare to enter the city, I want to have fun!" ”
An Bingtian told An Yin to rest early and not to wander around, and then entered the guest room with Fu Chengying to rest.
An Yin returned to the guest room, sat on the bench and watched the flames on the lamp jump high and low, and his mind was full of the woman in white looking back and smiling. After thinking about it, I decided to go out for a walk. When you come out, the city is full of brilliant lights, all kinds of snack streets, and various casinos, which are also full.
As he walked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a woman in front of him, dressed in a white silk skirt, with a graceful posture, followed by a girl in green clothes. The two talked as they walked, bursting into crisp laughter from time to time. An Yin stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and from the side, he saw that it was the girl who pointed the way last time. He didn't dare to strike up a conversation rashly, so he slowed down and followed. After walking for about an hour, they had already walked out of the bustling city, and from their conversation, they vaguely knew that the girl in white lived in the racecourse, and she was a guest at the distant aunt's house in Anshun, and she would go home tomorrow. An Yin couldn't help but was about to step forward to ask, when he saw them walk into a black lacquered gate. An Yin regretted it, so he blamed himself for being shy, and this trip was just to see her and tell her about the pain of lovesickness. I don't know that people will be going home tomorrow, but this trip can't be in vain! An Yin is determined to wait here, and must ask the girl's residence, so that she can look for it in the future, and at least know the other party's name. An Yin saw a pair of stone lions next to the gate, so he sat next to one of the stone lions, and fell asleep by the lion.
Hearing a few rooster crows, An Yin opened his eyes and saw that the surroundings were empty, and there were all graves around, and only a pair of stone lions were still here. He was so frightened that he quickly jumped up, goosebumps all over his body, his vest was covered in cold sweat, and the hairs on his body stood up. He quickly fled, and after running out not far, he saw the people working in the fields, and he finally calmed down and was not so afraid. When I thought about it, could it be that the two girls I saw last night were ghosts? I'm a seven-foot man, I can't just run away like this! I'm very conflicted, do you want to go back and see what's going on? Thinking of the angelic smile of the girl in white, I had the courage to walk back, anyway, it's daytime, and besides, if it's really a ghost, if you want to harm me, I won't live this morning. He walked to the grave and leaned down to look at the inscription on the tombstone, which read: The tomb of the widows of the Sha clan in the Great Song Dynasty. The inscription time is: Song Baoqing Yiyou Mengqiu Yihai. After reading it, I couldn't help but shudder, "I really met a ghost, the cemetery in the Great Song Dynasty." I thought to myself, "It's better to leave quickly!" ”
