CHAPTER XIV
As soon as Jin Wansheng said this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but stop talking immediately, and the county magistrate hurriedly asked; "There can be officials such as county guards or county magistrates."
Jin Wansheng replied; "No, the people there are farming and self-sufficient, no one is in charge, there are no wars and fights, it is really a good place to be leisurely."
The county magistrate asked; "Where have you been for a few days?"
Jin Wansheng replied; "The small, the little one can't remember."
Then it was dark again.
When Jin Wansheng opened his eyes again, he saw the county magistrate walking out from behind the tall public case, walking to Jin Wansheng's side and asking; "In your later life, what you said is true?"
Jin Wansheng lost all the manliness he had when he first came, and immediately kowtowed and replied; "Master County Chief, there is no lie in what the little one said."
The county asked; "Can you take someone over now, can you find the place called Peach Blossom Spring?"
Jin Wansheng replied; "The little one was marked along the way when he came back, and he must have found it."
The county magistrate listened to Jin Wansheng's answer, stomped a few more steps, and then shouted to the court; "Come on!"
Hula, two officials with knives ran in from outside, kneeling down on one knee; "What do you command?"
The county governor said; "The two of you followed these two descendants to find the Peach Blossom Spring, and there were many rewards after finding them, do you understand?"
The two officials hurriedly "snorted" and stood behind Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ada.
The county magistrate pointed to Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ada, and ordered; "Leave at once, and don't delay along the way."
"Oh," the two officials bowed their heads and promised, which can be regarded as agreeing for Jin Wansheng.
Jin Wansheng and Zhao Ada, escorted by the two officials, walked out of the county governor's mansion, and instantly arrived on the street, the sun was already west, the shade of the trees was oblique, and the pedestrians who passed by wore hats, coming and going in a hurry, who would notice them!
Fortunately, a servant valued himself very much, and he said angrily; "It's really damn unlucky, the county magistrate chose us to do this thankless errand, there is no oil and water at all, and no one takes care of the meal after dinner."
Another servant, spitting at the stars; "I blame your mother, I didn't give you a handsome sister, otherwise, wouldn't you be like a dumb person, mixed with the head of the team, why bother with this hard work."
And the servant who had been counted down said; "I heard that Sister Dumb accompanies Lord Dumb to practice, but for some reason her belly is growing day by day, presumably Lord Dumb's kung fu is in Sister Dumb's belly."
The two officials were chatting enthusiastically, and finally slowed down, Zhao Ada, taking advantage of this effort, looked at the two officials and said; "The two poor masters, the little courage, want to invite the two of you to the wine shop for a drink, I wonder if the two of you can enjoy the light?"
When the two officials heard this, they immediately said with a smile; "It's still the little brother, you will come to the matter, we don't care if he is the Peach Blossom Paradise or the Immortal Cave Mansion, it is the right thing to fill the stomach first."
As they spoke, the four of them got into a tavern on the edge of the wharf, this tavern is where Zhao Ada and Jin Wansheng often come to drink, above the door, obliquely pick a very eye-catching wine banner, on which are written "drunk do not return" three big characters that seem to be dripping with wine, three or five bamboo and wood tables and stools are placed horizontally and vertically in the room, allowing guests to choose their seats, and a small two runs inside and outside, and is not idle.
After the four of them got in, they chose the table head in the side and sat on the squeaky bamboo bench, and the two officials didn't look at Zhao Adaa and Jin Wansheng, but just shouted; "Damn Xiaoer, hurry up and bring us a dish of braised river crucian carp, a large plate of beef in sauce and a plate of drunken prawns, and you will serve us another dish in the store, which is considered to be filial piety to the master, and the master will wait for the business trip after eating."
Xiao Er knew which two officials there, and they dared to offend, so they immediately took it and shouted; "A plate of braised river crucian carp, a plate of beef in sauce, a plate of drunken prawns, and a piece of mushu meat on the take-out cabinet."
Xiao Er's words fell, and another official then shouted again; "Take out four pots of old wine and four catties of cakes."
Xiao Er answered, and dared to delay there, so he saw that he ran back and forth inside and out, and the wine and food and cakes were all on it, and Xiao Er said with a smile; The four guest officers used it slowly, "and then went to work on something else."
The four of them are not humble, it can really be described as a storm and clouds, meteors catch the moon, and in an instant, the cup and plate are at the bottom.
After the four of them had eaten and drunk, they did not dare to stop to see the sun that was about to set, so they hurried to the wharf, untied the cables, and rowed down the river in two small boats. When the river was wide, Jin Ada's boat and Zhao Ada's boat walked side by side, the four of them talked and chatted together, but it was also comfortable, and when they reached the fork of the river, the water surface was immediately much narrower, and the river was much shallower, Zhao Ada's boat had to row behind Jin Wansheng, and the servant who sat on Jin Wansheng's boat saw that the water surface was getting narrower and narrower, but the current was becoming more and more urgent, so he asked Jin Wansheng; "Brother Late Sheng, do you remember accurately, I don't think there will be any peach groves on the side of this river fork anyway."
Jin Wansheng asked; "Brother Messenger, have you been to this area?"
The official said; "My family lives in Shuidang Village, not far from this fork of the river, and I have never seen any peach groves in this vicinity."
Jin Wansheng said; "The place where I lead you is from here, to say the least, there are dozens of miles of waterway, and it will take us two hours to row smoothly."
The river breeze is blowing, the water surface is cool, and the people on the boat are open to their clothes, so comfortable. Unexpectedly, after a while, the wine was rising, the official stopped talking, curled up in the cabin and took a nap, taking advantage of this, Zhao Adaa quietly brought the boat closer and asked Jin Wansheng; "Ah Sheng, what you said in the lobby is true?"
Jin Wansheng was rowing listlessly, listening to Zhao Ada's inquiry, there was no response, Zhao Ada's thought to himself, where is the heroic spirit of the late brother in the past, could it be that I shouldn't take him to the county office, I remember that at that time, he wanted to leave the county government several times.
Zhao Ada's incomprehension and unwillingness made him knock off the side of the boat with his oars, and then he asked Jin Wansheng again; "Ah Sheng, is there a peach blossom paradise in this world?"
Jin Wansheng was speechless, but nodded, at this moment, his heart was even more turbid than the river, he didn't know how to tell Zhao Ada, but he felt that there was chaos in his heart.
Zhao Ada still chased after him, and he continued; "Ah Sheng, I remembered, did you encounter something in the days you were missing, why didn't you tell me first?"
"Alas," Jin Wancheng sighed, unspeakable, hard to say.
The wind blew the boat, lifted the wave and broke the waves, two small boats, four people, at sunset, when the river was dyed red by the sunset, rowed out of the river fork, came to the unknown river, and then followed the river for a few miles, and saw the river become a stream.
Suddenly, Jin Wansheng had the spirit, he stopped paddling, and tried to find the peach grove where the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the mountain-shaped terrain was still faintly visible, and a few tall yellow horn trees appeared on the shore, Jin Wansheng remembered, the boat was here, it was time to abandon the ship and land, he said to the official who had woken up; "Brother Messenger, the boat can't row, so we have to abandon the boat and move forward."
The official asked Jin Wansheng; "Is this the place, you're not mistaken?"
Jin Wansheng said; "That's right, I'm too familiar with this fork and that small river, it must be this place."
At this time, Zhao Ada, who was behind, and another official also caught up, and they asked Jin Wansheng; "Where is the peach grove you are talking about? I remember you said that there is a peach grove with peach blossoms on the edge of the stream, but there is not even a peach tree here. ”
Although Jin Wansheng was also a little weird, he still insisted on saying; "Follow the creek and walk forward, maybe the front."
After speaking, Jin Wansheng took the lead in walking forward, Zhao Adaa and the two servants had to follow him, and walked the scene of two miles, but a mulberry forest appeared in front, which made Jin Wansheng very surprised, he stepped forward a few steps, entered the mulberry forest, and then walked along the mulberry forest for a few miles, he looked for the mark he had made when he came back, but after walking so far, he didn't even see a mark, helpless, Jin Wansheng had to look back at Zhao Ada, who was following him.
The sky is getting late, the birds are flying quickly, the mulberry forest is very lively, the insects are singing and the birds are crying, and the sound of the sub-rules is not as good as going back, it is better to go back.
Zhao Ada's expression was nervous, and he asked Jin Wansheng; "Late life, is there really any peach blossom source? I think, how about it? ”
Zhao Ada's words were swallowed, Jin Wansheng suddenly took a big stride and rushed out of the mulberry forest, there was a hill in front of him, the shrubs were luxuriant, the grass was green, the mountain was a swamp, the mountain was a meadow, the water and grass were abundant, but the cattle and sheep did not dare to go over, who said it, who told him.
Jin Wansheng was confused, his eyes were blurred, his shadows were heavy, and there seemed to be a shepherd boy playing the flute in front of him.
Suddenly, the sky was dark, and in the dark, Jin Wansheng felt a thick fog floating from the hill, and in the thick fog, an elegant woman poked at him with a hole flute in her hand, he secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly turned back to find Zhao Ada, who were the two servants, but as far as his eyes could see, there were still human figures.
Foggy, re-looking for the old road, the road is long, no longer before, in a hurry, Jin Wansheng shouted loudly; "Ah Da, where are you, why can't I see you?"
There was no echo outside, the silence was like death, Jin Wansheng was even more panicked, he wanted to get up and run back, but when he opened his eyes, he couldn't tell the southeast and northwest at all except for the dense fog or the dense fog, helplessly, Jin Wansheng squatted on the ground with his knees crossed, his eyes closed, and his mind was confused.
Boom, in the dark, there was a faint sound of thunder, a thunderbolt in the sky, and Jin Wansheng, who had closed his eyes tightly, was stunned by the dazzling white light.
Time flies like a white horse, when Jin Wansheng will wake up, God knows. When he found himself lying in the stream, his first feeling was that the sun in the sky was burning his face.
