Chapter 693
Beng Niangniang saw that Master Jiang Liu asked Jin Yuan and asked her again, and immediately replied; "Forgive the disciple's mana is not refined, his studies are not pure, the disciple just deduced that in the tenth year after the birth of the little monk Tuo, his friend in his previous life, Master Konglun, went to visit him, he nodded to Master Konglun three times according to the agreement before his death, and then, a thick fog appeared."
When the great monk of Jiangliu heard this, he nodded; "That's right, look up into the distance!"
The words of the great monk of Jiangliu and you look up into the distance, not only shocked Beng Niangniang, but also shocked everyone present, they invariably looked up into the distance together, at this time, where is the source of peach blossoms in their eyes, where are there blooming peach blossoms.
But seeing the autumn wind in front of them, the eyes are full of dry yellow, under the sunset, the yellow sand rises suddenly, in the wilderness, there is a vague shadow shaking, and only when the black shadow approaches them can they see clearly, a rugged ancient road, the leaves on both sides of the road are falling in the autumn wind, gradually, at the end of the ancient road, a black thin horse appeared, carrying a white-faced scholar on the horse's back.
Seeing the sunset hidden in the wind and sand, the sky is getting dark, the scholar on horseback can't help but be anxious, the deserted wilderness, coupled with the wind and sand, where is there a family, so, he hurriedly rode his horse and galloped, seeing that the wind and sand are a little smaller, in the twilight, I saw a river in front of me, unfortunately there is only a broken bridge above, there is a family next to the river, and then there are a few families faintly above,
So the scholar turned over and dismounted, led his thin horse, and tentatively came to the broken bridge, and the people by the river became more and more clear, and the scholar made a trumpet with his hands, and shouted to the house by the river; "Anyone?"
As soon as the voice reached the other side, I saw the door of the house on the opposite side open, and a girl with long braids pushed the door and walked out, walked a few steps to the edge of the river and said to the scholar; "Guest officer, the river is not deep, just below the calf, you can lead the horse to wade the water."
The scholar standing on the broken bridge, after listening to the girl's words, immediately looked down, the fog was hazy, the river was turbulent, and it seemed that he could not see clearly, at this time, the girl said again; "Guest officer, you lead the horse down the bridge, and I will lead you across the river."
When the scholar heard this, he hurriedly thanked him; "The girl is so enthusiastic, so that Xiaosheng is really grateful, but at this moment, it is three autumns, the river is cold and biting, or the girl is driving me to show me the shallow water to wade across the river, Xiaosheng is already grateful."
As he spoke, the scholar took his thin horse and turned around and went down the bridge, and when he came to the river, he saw the girl standing in front of him barefoot with her trouser legs, and the scholar was momentarily speechless, but the girl said very cheerfully; "Please follow me!"
So, the scholar hurriedly thanked him, and hurriedly took off his shoes and trouser legs, and then followed the girl towards the river, but unexpectedly, they had just walked to the middle of the river, the horse's feet slipped, and the scholar who led the horse dragged him, the water was not deep, but it was very urgent, and the water took the scholar all the way over, and at this critical juncture, the girl jumped to the scholar in a few steps, and reached out to grab the scholar.
Just when the girl just grabbed the scholar, a torrent swept over, knocking the girl down into the river, seeing the girl fall on the scholar, the two of them hugged and rolled a few times, fortunately blocked by a big stone, the two of them got up from the river.
When they came ashore, the thin horse was already standing on the shore waiting for them, and the girl, seeing the wet scholar, said to him; "Guest officer, there are still twenty miles away from the nearest market town, and you can only have an inn when you get to the market town, and your clothes are soaked, I see that you can't go to the market town now."
As soon as the girl had finished speaking, she saw the scholar shake, and sneezed several times in succession, and the thin horse also shook the droplets of water on his body, until the scholar had finished sneezing, and did not hear the scholar speak; "It's really helpless, my clothes are soaked by the river and the water is abnormally cold, plus I didn't eat at lunch in order to hurry, so!"
When the scholar said this, he snorted and looked at the girl, and when he saw that the girl was staring at him, he mustered up the courage to continue; "I don't know if it's convenient for the girl's house, but let me stay overnight, and when the clothes are dry, I'll leave tomorrow."
The girl listened to the scholar's words and replied very cheerfully; "As long as you don't dislike my small house, even if you live, I can wash your clothes and dry them."
The scholar listened to the girl's words, hurriedly bowed to the girl, and then said; "In this case, I'm welcome, I'll pay for room and board as well."
When the girl heard the scholar's words, and saw that both of them were very embarrassed, she said; "Don't talk about that, let's go into the house and change out of clothes."
Just then, the room opened, and then came the voice of an old woman; "Aunt Xiu, who's out there?"
The scholar, who had been soaked in the river water, trembled his upper and lower lips, and just wanted to answer, but the girl called Xiugu answered first; "Grandma, it's a passing guest who accidentally fell into the river, so I asked him to spend the night at our house first."
When the mother-in-law heard this, she hurried up to the scholar and the girl, and took the reins of the horse, and the scholar spoke strongly; "So, Xiaosheng, thank you mother-in-law for this!"
Xiu Gu saw that the scholar trembled and finished saying this, her steps staggered a little, glanced at her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law snorted, and motioned to Xiu Gu to support the scholar, in fact, the clothes on Xiu Gu's body were also close to her body, and like the scholar, she kept dripping water, and the exquisite curves on her body were fully displayed, but when night fell, and the scholar had no time to take care of him, so Xiu Gu dared to step forward to support the scholar.
When he entered the house, the scholar seemed to be unable to hold on, but fortunately his mind was still sober, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on not going to bed, but let the water flowing down his body form a watery pool on the floor of the room. "Please don't dislike it, this is my Abba's clothes, you take off the wet clothes on your body first, and make do with this dry clothes."
The scholar's lips trembled and he reluctantly said thank you, Xiu Gu hid out of the room, and then looked at the scholar at this time, it was already the upper teeth beating the lower teeth, and the sound was rattling, fortunately, he really changed into dry clothes, as for how he got to bed, he didn't know, anyway, when he woke up, he saw Xiu Gu holding his head and feeding him decoction.
Seeing this, the scholar arched to get up, but unexpectedly, in a hurry, he spilled the decoction in Xiugu's hand, he reached out to wipe it, but Xiugu took his hand aside, picked up a rag, and wiped the soup clean. At this time, hearing the movement in the room, Xiugu's aunt walked in, looked at the scholar who had already sat up, and said; "Child, it really frightened us, you had a high fever first, my Xiu Gu ran to the market town to invite Lang Zhong, after taking a look, said that you were tired and hungry, plus fell into the cold river water and suffered from the wind cold, these two days, my Xiu Gu did nothing, just to give you hot medicine, and have to feed you medicine, alas, you finally woke up."
After Xiugu's aunt finished speaking, she went straight out to work and went to other things, at this time the scholar was really full of mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Xiugu asked him softly; "Can you drink the medicine yourself?"
The scholar nodded and said; "Yes, I'm much better, and I'm not cold anymore!"
Xiu Gu carefully put the soup bowl in the scholar's hand.
Ten days later, Xiu Gu took the scholar's hand, and her mother-in-law led the black thin horse and sent the scholar to the ancient road, and she listened to her mother-in-law; "I gave Xiu Gu to you last night, if you are ungrateful, I will find you if I become a ghost!"
When the scholar heard this, he hurriedly turned around, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to his mother-in-law three times, and said loudly; "I want my Wang Naipu to follow my brother to study since childhood, how can I be the kind of ungrateful person, please rest assured, grandma this time I went to Beijing to catch the exam, whether I was in or not, I will rush back as soon as possible and reunite with Aunt Xiu.
At the end of the year, the cold wind was blowing, and the black thin horse appeared on the ancient road again, and I saw that the scholar on horseback was unusually relaxed this time, and he was sitting on the horse and chanting; "Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind and thin horses, the sun sets!"
However, as soon as the scholar recited, he shook his head again and again, spit twice in his mouth, and muttered to himself; "Thinking of me Wang Naipu, I'm about to see my sweetheart, where is the broken intestine person at the end of the world, it is obvious that Langjun is eager to return."
When the words fell, the scholar Wang Naippu gently shouted the black thin horse under his crotch, and saw that the thin horse had got, got, got, trotted up, and before night fell, the people by the river were already laughing and laughing.
With the laughter in the house, a thick fog gradually rose by the river, covering the house, and at this time, I heard the monk Jiang Liu ask in mid-air; "Jin Wansheng, do you know the scholar and Xiugu who rushed to take the exam?"
Jin Wansheng was in a daze, thinking in his heart whether the scholar had passed the exam, at this time, he heard the question of the great monk of Jiangliu, so he had to interrupt his thoughts and replied; I've never met the scholar and the aunt. ”
Who expected that after listening to Jin Wansheng's words, the great monk of Jiangliu, who had always been kind and generous, stopped drinking; "You talk nonsense, they are your biological parents!"
This sound of drinking, only frightened Jin Wansheng trembling, and then, he saw the small river, it became an ocean, in the ocean, the house collapsed, the young Wang Naipu and Xiugu in the wind and waves, protecting a big wooden basin, the baby in the wooden basin kept crying, Wang Naipu and Xiugu struggled to row ahead, but a big wave, overturned their family of three in the water, a moment, the wooden basin and the baby floated up, Wang Naipu and Xiugu did not come up.
