Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

Outside Libo County at the junction of Guizhou and Guizhou, there is a small seven-hole stone bridge, the scenery is beautiful, it is famous for "green", "secluded", "strange", under the bridge is the sparkling Xiangshui River, the river water is green and clear, the waterfall of 68 levels is particularly small and exquisite; The water is sometimes soothing, sometimes turbulent, sometimes converging with mountain springs, sometimes embracing waterfalls.

The trees on both sides of the strait cover the sky and the sun, making people feel as if they have entered a fairyland on earth.

And after crossing the bridge, it is the territory of Gui Province.

Because it is the junction of the two provinces, it is naturally also a traffic artery, not far from the small seven-hole stone bridge, there is a small pavilion with a thatched shed, there is a stall selling tea, and an old man in his sixties is selling tea with his granddaughter in his teens.

The tea is naturally not a good tea, it is all tea stalks, but the water is very good, and it is called from the nearby Wolong Pond.

The water quality in the Wolong Pond is clear, there is a piece of turquoise light in the depths, it is said that there is a green dragon lying down, so it is called "Wolong Pond", the villagers have many false rumors, Xu is to tell more stories, it is said that here is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the grave of Mr. Zhuge Wolong in the Three Kingdoms period, there are many circumstantial evidence, the people who say it are still the Tao, but they don't know that this place is in the Three Kingdoms period, it is just a wild land at all.

However, no matter whether the cow is simple or not, it has nothing to do with water quality.

The water quality in the Wolong Pond is excellent, and the tea boiled out is sweet and clear, cool and thirst-quenching, and it is the favorite for the porters and merchants who travel.

Especially in the hot season, the pavilion is always full.

At noon on this day, the sun was so poisonous that the cicadas had no strength to chirp, and they began to play dead with two squeaks, and the passers-by were greedy for the coolness of the grass hut and the surrounding trees, and they all gathered here to rest, waiting for the damn sun to set a little west and not so scary, and then go on the road.

There were four or five groups and more than ten people drinking tea in the tea shed pavilion, and in addition to selling tea, the old man also sold some baba and watermelon.

Everyone took advantage of the cold and chatted, but they didn't feel how difficult it was.

There was a herb merchant from southern Yunnan who talked about the reorganization of the Yunnan army, and it seemed that there was another war, and everyone gathered around him to ask, and after listening to it, they were all a little worried.

In these years, the city head has changed the banner of the king, and the people on it have fought to the death, this doctrine, that statement, what are the propositions, the Northern Expedition, etc., the small people naturally don't understand it, but they know about this war, pay money and food, and don't say it, maybe they will be forcibly requisitioned, and they will lose their lives in confusion.

And even if you stay at home, if you encounter those defeated soldiers, it will be even more terrible, the defeated soldiers are like bandits, killing and robbing, it is simply all evil.

In this world, there is really no way to live.

Everyone complained, and a merchant who was familiar with the old man who sold tea smiled at the boss and said Old man Xu, don't you have your granddaughter Xu's family? It looks like it's almost over, why don't you marry her quickly? Otherwise, when your old bone dies one day, what will she do?

Mr. Xu didn't speak, but the others smiled and said to the businessman: "Lai Laoer, look at your thoughts, Cui'er is also what you are worried about?" You have a tigress in your family, maybe you can marry Cui'er back? ”

When the merchant heard this, he smiled happily: "Hey, if Cui'er agrees to me, I will go back, and I will give my tigress who does not lay eggs to rest." ”

Everyone instigated and laughed, and the old man who sold tea hurriedly gave his hand, saying Boss Lai, don't laugh, my granddaughter is still young, don't worry, if I die, let her inherit my tea stall, and everyone will take care of the business when they go back, don't let her be bullied.

Everyone nodded and said they wanted it, they wanted it.

At this time, a little girl of five or six years old in the corner of the grass hut began to cough violently, and after several strokes, she coughed up blood.
