"Crackling!"

After the Shangyuan Festival, he quickly rode his horse back to the Yishui River, and just pulled the black wind horse into the stable, an unexpected heavy rain came instantly.

In a hurry, she rushed to the house with a big bag on her back, and the rain the size of beans and the strong wind hit the tiles above her head wantonly in an instant.

Yan Dusk, who returned to the room, hurriedly wiped the rain on her body, spread out the new clothes made for her by her mother in the burden one by one, and just wanted to be glad that she was not wet by the heavy rain, a gust of wind came through the hall like an arrow, blowing open the closed window in her room.

Regardless of the green silk that was blown up, she rushed forward to hold on to the wooden window, and when she looked up, she saw the dark sky like an abyss, the Yishui River not far away was rolling angrily, and the thunder and lightning roared and rushed on the octagonal mountain.

The rain frantically hit the ground, and the rain splashed, drops splashed on Yan Dui's solemn face, and the joy of returning was completely disrupted by the angry rainstorm.

She looked at the black clouds from afar, and she didn't know what the heavens were planning, it could be a small joke, or it could be a terrible punishment......

In the spring of the thirty-ninth year of Daheng, the rain was affected, and the Huainan River overflowed in the plain, and there was a great hunger.

It rained all day and night, and the monstrous sky rushed wildly, changing the shape of the mountain, and the waterfall faction cracked the green mountains. A sudden spring tide poured the whole Daheng into desolation.

In the land south of Huainan near the river, the flood washed up the plain, washed away all the crops, and the people called the heavens and could not find a grain.

Above the high hall, he was ignorant and unconscious, and when Emperor Hui sent officials to control the water and provide relief and relief, it had already passed a month. The disaster spread to the entire Huainan Road, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the corpses were incalculable.

The continuous rain falls on the Yishui River, fortunately Youzhou is not close to Huainan, the place where they live is close to the riverside, although the rain is constantly raining, it is not big, except for the trouble of practicing the sword, Yan Dusk still chops wood and cooks, reads and writes, so he looks at the rainy day in a daze, until the summer solstice in May.

"Master, there is crucian carp soup today!" Yan Du held a large pot of milky white and delicious crucian carp soup, walked to Mr. Beiguo's room, smelled the aroma of fish soup between his nose, and felt a little happy, it has been rainy recently, and the price of food has risen, although Uncle Achuan doesn't care about silver taels, but the ingredients bought back are not fresh.

Today, when she saw that the rain was not heavy, she ran to the river under the willow tree to practice her sword, but found that a few crucian carp that had been washed up by the river were fluttering their bodies, and she immediately became kind, caught them all into the fish basket, saved their lives, and quickly ran back to the kitchen, with knives in hand, and boiled a delicious dish for the master and Uncle Achuan.

Mr. Beiguo, who had been staring out the window, heard the call of the little apprentice, turned his head faintly, pulled out a somewhat stiff smile, and said, "Good apprentice, I can finally eat a fresh meal as a teacher today!" ”

Yan Dui, who is delicate and looks at all directions, how could he not notice the recent depression of the person in front of him, Mei Chuan, who followed behind Yan Dui, slowly walked into the room with other dishes, and said to her:

"Let's eat together!"

Yan Du smiled and nodded, still worried about Mr. Bei Guo in his heart, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little. Mei Chuan saw it in his eyes, Mr. Beiguo was worried all day long, he didn't have a smile between his eyebrows, and the little doll had to change ways to make her happy, which made him uncomfortable.

Mei Chuan took a sip of the crucian carp soup boiled by the little doll, the fish was very delicious, but the little girl's cooking skills were just like that! He looked up at Mr. Beiguo, who was sitting opposite him, and saw that she was listlessly drinking the fish soup that had not been cleaned of the fishy smell.

Alas, it's always worrying!

"Today I went to the town to buy and heard some news from Huainan." Mei Chuan calmly put down the soup bowl in his hand and said.

At the dinner table, Yan Du was excitedly holding a spoon and serving Mr. Beiguo a third bowl of fish soup. When Mr. Beiguo heard this, his wilting expression suddenly became a little energetic, and he hurriedly continued: "Let's talk about it!" ”

Mei Chuan stared straight at Mr. Beiguo and said: "Now there are more dead and injured in the south of Huainan, and the situation in the north is still good, but there is also a famine. ”

After hearing this, Mr. Beiguo breathed a deep sigh of relief, and muttered in his mouth: "Famine! ”

Yan Du looked at the master who lost his mind for some reason, the usual clouds were light and breezy, and he didn't know where he had gone. I wondered in my heart, could it be that the master had an old friend in Huainan?

"This soup is fishy!" Mr. Beiguo seemed to have finally regained his sense of taste, and looked at the two bowls of fish soup in front of him with disgust: "It's still salty!" ”

Yan Du was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took a sip, perhaps because she made it herself, she could barely eat it.

Mr. Beiguo, who had recovered his spirits, turned his head to Mei Chuan, his eyes revealed a sense of compromise, and said, "I'm still worried about her!" ”

Yan Du pouted and ate Uncle Achuan's food, honestly did not speak, and quietly listened to the adults chatting. It turns out that Master is worried about his old man!

Mei Chuan nodded and asked, "Do you want to go to Huainan?" "If you want to go, let's go together!

When Mr. Beiguo heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had figured out something, he shook his head and said, "I'm not going!" ”

Both of them are old bones, and they have to go to Huainan to see if the other old bone is dead, there is no reason, it is ridiculous.

Yan Du looked at the master's words, although the wind was light, but a trace of entanglement in the eyes could not be hidden, so he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly swallowed the rice in his mouth, opened his bright eyes, and said to the master and Uncle Achuan:

"Then I'll go!"

When the two people at the dinner table heard this, they all turned their heads to look at the little girl in front of them, and the eyebrows with a heroic spirit were raised high, with the unstoppable momentum of a young man.

——

The drizzle had stopped, and it was night, and it was foggy outside the window, except for an oil lamp in the room.

"The place you're going to is called Peach Blossom Town!" Mr. Bei Guo sat opposite Yan Du and slowly took a sip of tea: "In the north and south of Huai. ”

Peach Blossom Town! Isn't that the hometown of Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhao?

Yan Dui's heart was blocked, as if he had a piece of Tian Qi in his throat, bitter, astringent, and a little unbelievable, and his thoughts slowly recalled what Xiao Feng had said:

"Xiaobao, if you have a chance in the future, you must go to Peach Blossom Town, see the peach blossoms in March, rest by the mirror lake in the spring breeze, taste the peaches in May, and the peach wine made from it is more intoxicating than the flowers......"

Now, Xiaofeng Xiaozhao can't see the peach blossoms in his hometown! Now, she is not the laughing treasure she was back then!

Yan Du endured the bitterness in his heart, Mr. Beiguo didn't notice the little girl's thoughts, and continued: "There is a Taoist temple in Peach Blossom Town, called Peach Blossom Temple, and there is a quiet real person living in it, you go and see if she is dead!" ”

As soon as Yan Duan heard Mr. Beiguo's words, where could he still take care of the bitterness in his heart, he quickly widened his eyes in surprise, and looked at his master in a daze.

Seeing the puzzlement in Yan Duan's eyes, Mr. Bei Guo suddenly smiled lightly, put a heavy bag of silver taels on the tea table, and the tea table made of Hu Mu was suddenly shocked.

"There are two hundred taels here, you go to see if Jing Jue Zhenren is dead, if she dies, the money will be used to buy a coffin and give her a beautiful burial!"

Two hundred taels to bury a person? Yan Du picked up the bag of silver, which was probably the heaviest silver tael she had ever taken!

"What if she hadn't died?"

Yan Du couldn't understand what the master was thinking, she couldn't run over when someone was a real person who had passed away, and found that she was still alive and well, wouldn't she cry and laugh? !

"If you don't die, use these two hundred taels to buy a truth from her. If she is willing to sell, she will come back with the 'truth', and if she refuses, she will come back when she is willing! ”

Mr. Bei Guo smiled and looked at the little apprentice who was fooled by himself, there are some things that don't need to be explained now, and when she spends these two hundred taels, she will naturally understand!

Yan Du heard it in a daze, but she still nodded, since the master asked her to do it, she would definitely go all out!

"Master, the apprentice will leave tomorrow!"

When Mr. Beiguo heard this, he couldn't help touching the little apprentice's soft and swarthy hair, the little girl is a smart child, Li Zhenshan and Li Tong, she didn't tell her and Ah Chuan, but in fact, she had heard about it a long time ago.

She can deal with Li Zhenshan's old fox, and she should be more than enough for the old finch in the peach blossom view?

——

The thirty-ninth year of Daheng, August 15.

Jiangtian is colorless and dustless, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. It is another year when the bright moon hangs in the high hall, but the day of the full moon is not the time of reunion.

Zhuang Lin took a letter, through the flowers that he carefully cared for on Tianji Mountain, the fragrance of osmanthus sandwiched with the warm wind blowing his sleeves, the man in the double nine years of his life, whiter than the moon, clearer than the wind.

As soon as I walked into the gate of Ying Riyao's courtyard, I saw the owner of the courtyard, sitting alone on a stone chair, the lanterns lit all over the courtyard, like the day, Ying Riyao, who was dressed in blue brocade, was looking up to admire the moon.

"Second Senior Brother." Ying Riyao could guess by listening to the footsteps, but he picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass of sake to the opposite position:

"There's your favorite osmanthus cake."

When Zhuang Lin heard this, his two ears immediately stood up, and he sat opposite Ying Riyao in surprise, and the joy on his face could not be concealed: "Taoyuanju?" ”

Ying Riyao nodded, and his cold eyes, which were dyed by the fragrance of wine, had a touch of indescribable charm.

"Your sister is sending a letter again?" Ying Riyao asked knowingly, looking at Zhuang Lin's eyes, there seemed to be a little expectation, Zhuang Lin suddenly shook his head and waved away the thoughts in his mind.

But then he nodded again and handed the letter in his hand to Ying Riyao.

Ying Riyao stared at the familiar cowhide envelope, his eyes flashed with an unknown light, and finally reached out to open it and read it carefully.

The full moon shines on the frost on the ground, as the poem says, as the poem says, as bright as a flying mirror in Danque, and the green smoke is extinct and clear.

In the quiet and bright courtyard, the young man looked earnestly at the letter of the girl who had only seen "half of the face", at her vigorous handwriting, at her interesting experience, at her romance, at her kindness and purity.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Your sister said that she was entrusted by the master to go to a place called Peach Blossom Town to visit the old Taoist aunt in the Peach Blossom View in the town. She found that Peach Blossom Town was not as beautiful as she imagined, there were starving bones on the road, and the famine people had no food to eat, so they could only uproot the peach trees and suck the sap for food. ”

"The whole land was full of mourning, and she was very anxious, and just when the disaster was in the depths of the disaster, a person appeared......"

The breeze and the moon are priceless, and there is love near the mountains and rivers.

Ying Riyao's voice, like gurgling water, came slowly.
