Chapter 150: Two Versions of the Story

Yang Chun said: "You go back to your room and sleep for a while, and when you wake up, let's set off again." ”

There was no echo in the car for a long time, Yang Chun shouted "brother", there was still no sound inside, he lifted the curtain and saw that Qu Xiaobai had fallen asleep on the car board, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling.

Yang Chun took a handkerchief and gently wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth, and sighed helplessly: "You......" Pulled a silk scarf from the car over and put it on Qu Xiaobai's body.

Just as Lao Hu came out of the inn and saw him, "Hey, young master, you're back." ”

Yang Chun lowered the curtain and didn't let Lao Hu see Qu Xiaobai in the car, "Well, go and ask the shopkeeper to prepare two bowls of noodles, one bowl for me to bring to the car, you clean up by the way, let's leave after eating." ”

"Oh, good."

Lao Hu went, and soon, the guy brought the noodles and sent them out, and Yang Chun sat in front of the car, took the noodles and began to eat. Lao Hu held the noodle bowl, sat on the bluestone at the door of the inn, and watched the handsome young man eat noodles in the car.

It's really more popular than people.

"Big young master, why do you want to sit out and eat? What about the little master? ”

Lao Hu asked while eating noodles.

Yang Chun glanced at the carriage helplessly, "Let's eat noodles, pack up and go on the road after eating." ”

In fact, this eldest young master looks strange, kind and gentle, but it is really difficult to approach, and the little young master's wife looks at the fangs and claws, but she is approachable. Lao Hu didn't dare to talk to Yang Chun anymore, and lowered his head to eat noodles.

After eating the noodles, Lao Hu went back and packed up his salute and took it down, settled the store money, and rushed on the road.

The carriage passed through Huafeng County and continued to the southwest.

They didn't find a place to stay at night, so the three of them slept in the car all night, and the next day they walked for a whole day, and when they arrived at a town one hundred and eighty miles southwest of Huafeng County, Qu Xiaobai slept all the way, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat up to wake up.

Yang Chun parked the car at the door of an inn and asked Lao Hu to go first to see if there was a suitable room, and Lao Hu was ordered to go to the inn first.

In the carriage, Qu Xiaobai yawned and said leisurely: "Brother, where have we been?" ”

"A place called Whitehorse. Are you awake? Then come down and move your muscles. ”

"Hmm." Qu Xiaobai lifted the curtain and came out, and saw Yang Chun sitting on one side of the front of the car, leaning against the wall of the car without moving, so he sat on the other side and continued to yawn.

Yang Chun couldn't help laughing: "Haven't you slept enough?" ”

"I sleep a lot, and if I get enough sleep, it will be early." By the wind light in front of the car, she looked at the street in front of her, it was a bluestone paved street, and there were shops such as rice shops and wine shops on both sides of the street, one case was a bluestone wall, and the roof tiles could not distinguish the color in the night, but she felt that the tiles were also unusual blue-gray.

"Is there a lot of stone here? Why is it that the road is made of stone, and the house is also made of stone? ”

"Probably, before entering the town, I saw a big mountain over there, which should be the stone mined on the mountain."

"Hmm, that's called Stone Town, why is it called White Horse Town?"

Yang Chun couldn't help but glance at her, and the two looked at each other, and then laughed at each other.

Qu Xiaobai said: "You fool. ”

Yang Chun: "You're stupid...... Hahaha. ”

Lao Hu came out of the inn and was laughed inexplicably by the two of them, "You guys...... What are you laughing at? ”

"It's nothing, he says you're a fool." Qu Xiaobai jumped out of the car, "How is it, is there a room?" ”

"Yes, I booked three rooms this time, I'm afraid that I will delay the eldest young master's study again. I slept and snored, too loud. ”

Yang Chun rubbed the tip of his nose, "I can finally sleep well." ”

Qu Xiaobai glanced at him and said, "Your eldest young master is stupid, this book, it's the same whether you read it or not." ”

Lao Hu was confused, saying that he couldn't understand what these two people were saying.

The shopkeeper came out and drove the carriage to the backyard, and the three of them entered the store, Qu Xiaobai was still struggling with the question of the white horse: "Hey, you say, is this White Horse Town rich in white horses?" How else would it be called White Horse? ”

"You can study it slowly, and then, when you go back to Nanping County to write a travelogue, it will be called "Mu Yiling's Journey to the South"."

"That kind of title can't be sold, even if it is written, it has to be a high-end and high-grade name, called ...... "Take a Fool to Kyoto", what do you say?"

Yang Chun: ...... I was wrong, I really shouldn't have come out with a fool.

"Well, it's going to be a big deal." Qu Xiaobai nodded confidently.

Lao Hu: What is this?

"That, big young master, little young master, the room is in the backyard, let's go to the backyard."

This inn is a one-color bungalow, the guest room is in the backyard, a huge courtyard, surrounded by a circle of rooms, the yard is paved with blue bricks, there are various potted plants in the courtyard, the environment can be called elegant.

The three rooms booked by Lao Hu finally got together this time, Qu Xiaobai chose the middle one, and Yang Chun and Lao Hu naturally had one on each side.

The inn can provide simple meals, the dishes are not exquisite, but they are all home-cooked dishes, which is Qu Xiaobai's favorite dish.

Lao Hu went to communicate with the innkeeper and ordered a few ingredients that they could make - Qu Xiaobai didn't like to eat meat dishes, and he knew it now.

The night in the mountain city is quite cool, there is a full moon in the sky, shining all over the courtyard, Qu Xiaobai is in a good mood, and discusses Yang Chun to eat and admire the moon in the courtyard.

Yang Chun is a scholar who likes flowers before the moon, so naturally he has no opinion.

Lao Hu couldn't do this kind of elegant thing that the two of them did, and went back to the room to sleep after pulling two large bowls of rice, Qu Xiaobai slept in the car drunk for a whole afternoon, at this time he was sleepy and very energetic, Yang Chun has always been in good spirits, even when he is not sleepy, he is also full of energy.

Qu Xiaobai praised him: "In the end, he is a young man, with good muscles and bones." It drew a big roll of his eyes.

Yang Chun asked her, "Do you know about this White Horse Town?" ”

Qu Xiaobai looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said leisurely: "I grew up in Yangshutun, I haven't read any books, I don't know a few words, I haven't gone out, I have never gone out so big, this is the first time I have gone out, do you say I know White Horse Town?" ”

Yang Chun knew that what she said was the truth, but he felt that it didn't seem to be the truth.

The clear glow of the moonlight sprinkled on her handsome face, and he couldn't see her as she was, nor what kind of person she was.

"It's my fault." Yang Chun smiled, "Actually, this White Horse Town is very famous. ”

"Oh? What's the name? I would like to hear about it. Qu Xiaobai leaned over and blinked his eyes, looking curious.

"According to legend, this ancient town of Baima was built 600 years ago."

"Wow, that's earlier than the Great Liang Dynasty." Qu Xiaobai interjected in amazement.

Yang Chun nodded: "Well, that's so to speak." ”

"And then?"

"And then? Then, there was a feng shui master surnamed Bai, he rode a white horse, traveled all over the world, one day, he rode to this place with beautiful mountains and rivers, the white horse refused to go any more, and the feng shui master got off the horse to check what was going on. He found that the purple dragon qi was hovering on the mountain to the east of this place, protecting this treasure of feng shui, so the feng shui master decided not to leave, made a home here, and funded the construction of an altar, which was named White Horse Town. ”

"And then?" Qu Xiaobai glared at Yang Chun, looking at the posture you made up quietly.

Then, every day, he would burn incense and kowtow on the altar, and the passers-by looked at his behavior and were very curious, and asked him what he was doing, and he told people about the dragon's energy. As a result, many people moved here, and it soon became a small town.

Later, when he saw that there were more people gathered, he told them that God had entrusted him with a dream and asked him to hold a sacrificial event every year and sacrifice ten young girls to God, so that God could forever preserve the feng shui here and bless the people here to live and work in peace and contentment.

It is said that at that time, the previous dynasty had decayed to the point of ......" Yang Chun wanted to say that it was in a similar situation as it is now, but he didn't say it after all. He continued: "It's rotten anyway. There was a great drought in this place for three years, the crops were not harvested, and the people were starved to death, so in order to survive, the people listened to him. Every year, ten young girls are sacrificed. ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "I thought you would make up a story with me about Lang riding a white horse and meeting the girl I liked, but I didn't expect to make up such a bad story." ”

"Not all stories in this world end happily. This story, which sounds tragic at first, ...... later"

"What happened?"

Qu Xiaobai knew that it was even more tragic later, and she had already learned about it from Du Niang. Du Niang said that day after day, year after year, there are fewer and fewer young girls in White Horse Town, and the men can't marry wives, and life is very difficult...... Blemish. Dirty.

Later, at last, a brave young man stood up and exposed the lie of the feng shui master, but he had no evidence, and was bitten back by the feng shui master, who hung him on the altar and cut countless small holes in the skin on his body, and the blood he shed attracted the vultures on the mountain, and the vultures pecked at his flesh and drank his blood, and in three days, they gnawed him until only a skeleton remained.

That young man, there is a beloved girl, originally, this year, the girl was chosen to be the saint of the heavens. She believed her lover's words, and that feng shui master was a liar. Originally, she was going to run away with the young man, but the young man was killed by the feng shui master, leaving her alone.

The girl was bent on avenging her lover, and on the day of the sacrifice, she secretly prepared a sharp knife and hid it on her body. According to custom, on the eve of the sacrifice, she was sent to the Celestial Master Temple behind the altar to bathe and fast, and the girl, along with nine other girls, was sent to the Celestial Master Temple.

The feng shui master asked them to bathe in a hot spring pool, and the girl secretly hid a sharp knife in the steps of the hot spring pool and followed them into the hot spring pool.

As soon as she entered the pool, the girl felt the heat surging up, it was not the heat of the hot spring pool, but like the heat emitted from the bones, steaming so weak, she looked at the other girls, their skin was red, obviously, this was poison.

At this time, the feng shui master appeared.
