Chapter 19: Something Different

Yue Lao and Si Ming arrived at Qingqiu, and found that the people of Qingqiu were dressed plainly, and the Chinese clothes of the two of them looked a little out of place, the two hurriedly changed their clothes, Yue Lao changed into an ordinary woodcutter shirt, and Si Ming changed into a fisherman's costume, the two looked at each other, stroked their palms and laughed, and walked around the Qingqiu market.

But seeing that the folk customs of Qingqiu are very simple, the people do not close the door, the road is not forgotten, and the street is bustling and lively, but there is no one who fights with each other, and the baht must be compared.

The faces of the people were harmonious and beautiful. This Si Ming couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder this old man Zhu Xuan is so arrogant, this Qingqiu is really well organized by him, like a paradise." Yue Lao also praised: "Si Ming, you see that all the people are smiling like flowers, it can be seen that the happiness index of the people living here is very high!" I really like it here, it's humane, it's not as cold and majestic as Heaven. Si Ming glanced at Yue Lao and said: "Yue Lao, praise it, you can't step on the high and praise the low." Yue Lao couldn't help but spit out: "Do you want to be so stingy?" It's just a boast here, aren't you also boasting? Si Ming said angrily: "Okay, okay, or you don't pull the red line, just be a woodcutter here." The two of them quarreled like this, and walked around the market in Qingqiu, and then remembered that they hadn't asked Yuexin where they were.

The two of them scratched their heads and scratched their ears, standing on the corner of the street, not knowing where to start. A little boy with big round eyes came to them and asked, "Grandpa, are you hungry and have nothing to exchange for food?" The two of them were stunned, and they didn't know how to answer, only to see the little boy say again: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandmother has been watching you for a long time, saying that you look so pitiful standing on the street corner, let me come and ask you to come to my house to eat something." Si Ming and Yue Lao's faces were red to the root of their ears, Si Ming just wanted to get angry but was stopped by Yue Lao, Yue Lao said: "Little friend, thank you, then please take us there!" The little boy said happily, "Yes, old man, please come with me." Yue Lao squeezed Si Ming's eyes, and Si Ming understood and followed.

The boy's house was a house made of wood, with four walls of birch trees made of neatly split pieces of wood and hemp rope, the middle beam seemed to be a whole poplar, the pillars were also poplar, and the roof was made in the same way as the four walls of the house.

The tables, chairs and benches in the house are all made of simple materials, and some of the roots of trees of unknown varieties are polished and smoothed at will to be used as tables, chairs and benches, which are very simple.

A kind old lady with a toothless tooth was smiling at them kindly: "You two are not from this Qingqiu, you must have traveled a long way, hard work, I have some buns and refreshments here, you two should pad it first!" Si Ming was very surprised: "Old woman, how did you know that the two of us are not Qingqiu?" The old woman smiled: "Although the two of you wear plain clothes, you are still extravagant and fairy-like, and the old lady and I have lived tens of thousands of years, and this bit of vision is still there." Si Ming and Yue Lao were a little embarrassed, and quickly got up to make a move, the old woman waved her hand, motioned for the two of them to sit down and said, "You don't have to be polite, I am a wild woman in a village, and I can't afford your big gifts." Why are you two here in Qingqiu? Yue Lao said: "Old woman, the two of us are actually looking for someone, the two of us have a friend from previous years, named Yuexin, she is a good girl, kind-hearted, saved our friend, I heard that she is from Qingqiu, I came here to see her." The old woman smiled and said, "Well, it is my duty to save people in Qingqiu, and the people here are born to learn the art of Qi Huang, in order to be able to cure diseases and save people." I know that the girl is a good girl, you eat first, and I will ask the wooden pier to take you there later. ”

"Wooden piers?" Si Ming repeated it curiously.

"Yes, it's the little boy just now, it's my grandson." The old woman said with a smile. Si Ming was happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "This name is really appropriate." And after the two had eaten, the wooden mound took them to the place where they were pleasant.

Yuexin saw Si Ming and Yue Lao happily hugging him, and then remembered to say: "Yuexin has seen Si Ming Xingjun and Yue Lao." Yue Lao smiled and said, "This kid, why are you doing so many courtesies!" Xiao Mudun looked at Si Ming and Yue Lao blankly before they shouted: "Ah! I saw the great immortals, and I actually saw the star king and the old man under the moon. Ahh This Yuexin was so frightened that she quickly covered the mouth of the little wooden pier and whispered to scare him: "Wooden pier, if you shout again, believe it or not, I will feed you to the eagle." Mu Dun nodded, but as soon as Yue Xin let go of his hand, Mu Dun couldn't suppress his excited shout.

Yuexin was about to cover her mouth again, but saw Si Ming waving his hand behind Mu Dun, Mu Dun's body went soft and fell, and Yue Lao hurriedly hugged him on the side.

Yuexin asked, "Uncle Si Ming, what did you do to the wooden pier?" ”

"Nothing, just let him sleep quietly." Si Ming Dao. Yuexin nodded, remembering the scene of Hongyan casting a spell on Xuanyan, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"Si Ming, you don't come to help, I'm afraid this wooden pier is an iron wooden pier, my old waist!" Yue Lao howled from the side.

Si Ming and Yuexin also thought it was funny, and hurriedly helped to help the wooden pier into the room. The three of them entered the pleasant room, settled the small wooden pier, Si Ming and Yue Lao looked at the pleasant room, and found that it was also decorated like the old woman's house, except for the flowers and plants in the room, the tables, chairs, benches, and bedding were all made of large and small tree roots, and the feeling of returning to the basics.

After Si Ming and Yue Lao sat down, Yuexin served tea to the two of them, and then sat down and asked, "Uncle Si Ming, Yue Lao, why are you here?" What about Brother Zhenye and Lan Qing? Si Ming heard Yuexin mention Zhen Ye, and immediately smiled and said, "We just came to see you for Zhen Ye's kid!" That day, seeing Zhu Xuan Lao'er take you away angrily, we were all very worried! Yuexin smiled and said, "I'm fine, let you worry." Actually, my grandfather's face is cold and kind-hearted, and his ears are soft. Si Ming said: "That's right for you!" For us, the face is cold and the heart is cold, and the oil and salt do not enter! Yuexin covered her mouth and smiled and didn't answer.

Yue Lao asked: "Yuexin, I have heard that your Qingqiu winemaking is a must, and the wine fairy will nod when he comes down, we are coming from afar, do you see if it ~~~~" Yuexin said embarrassedly when he heard it: "Oh, I am happy to see you patronizing, and the hospitality is not good, the hospitality is not good." I'll go get the wine. "Yuexin prepared some snacks and wine.

Si Ming and Yue Lao looked at the wine glasses and wine jugs, which were actually made of horns, and the dim sum was also made of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Yuexin said embarrassedly to Si Ming and Yue Lao: "Qingqiu advocates a natural and comfortable life, so food, clothing, and travel are mainly simple and convenient. We're all doing what we need here, using local materials. I don't pay much attention to eating, but this wine is unique, so you two can try it? Si Ming and Yue Lao were not polite, they raised their glasses and drank,

"Well, this wine is very good, very good." Si Ming Dao.

"Yes, the entrance is long, but the back throat is the fragrance of Laneige, not bad, not bad!" Yue Lao also praised.

"This wine is not worse than the heavenly realm!" Asked proudly.

"Good, good, great!" Si Ming raised his thumb in admiration. Yue Lao said: "Yuexin, you have never drunk this old man, there is a special and continuous fragrance, which does not disperse in the throat, and even wins the heart of the old man." ”

"Of course, because this wine is unique to my Qingqiu!" Yue said proudly.

"What's the unique law? Is the recipe unique? Yue Lao said curiously. Yue Xin said: "This wine is called Junpao wine, which is made of the fragrance of the stamens of the green calyx and the petals of the green calyx. Si Ming asked, "Green calyx?" Yuexin said: "Yes, this flower only grows in Qingqiu, and it only blooms for one season, which is very rare." ”

"The green calyx ice flowers, a few branches of clear shadows are sparse. The jade skin is thin, and the night is light and cold. Endure the lonely fang and climb the hands of others. After returning, the broken intestines looked back, and there were only fragrant sleeves. Yuexin heard this familiar voice, and turned her head excitedly to look at her happily and shouted: "Brother Lanqing!" After hearing this, Si Ming said stupidly: "There is only Lan Qing, a stinky boy in the entire heavenly court, who can chant this kind of sour words and poems!" Yue Lao squinted his eyes and said, "You are jealous, naked jealousy!" You still don't know what the green calyx is, and people have read all the words. Si Ming raised his eyes and looked at Yue Lao Dao: "You old thing, I won't give you a book in the world when I turn around, see how you pull the strings. Hum! Yue Lao looked at Si Ming and muttered quietly: "Hmph! Cheapskate. Yuexin saw that Zhen Ye was also here: "Yezi, you are here too." Si Ming looked at the two brothers and said, "Why did you two come here to join in the fun?" Zhen Ye said with a smile: "Uncle, just ask you to come, can't we two brothers come?" Si Ming said: "Lan Qing, aren't you grounded?" The courage is also big, not afraid of the queen of heaven to find out! Lan Qing smiled and said, "With my uncle here, I'm bold!" Si Ming hurriedly said: "Hey, you can't say that, what kind of person is Yerong that day, you still go back quietly, I can't hold it for you." Lan Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, what if the Emperor of Heaven allows it?" Si Ming said inexplicably: "Haochu will never do this kind of thing!" Yue Lao played a round on the side and said: "Everything has a head!" Don't think about it so much, just have a drink together when you come! "Si Ming didn't have much to say, so he had to give up.

Just asked curiously: "Brother Lanqing, what mistake did you make to be grounded?" Lan Qingxiao smiled and was about to answer, Zhen Ye hurriedly said, "Yuexin, where do you get so much curiosity?" Let's talk about how you've been doing this time! Have you ever been grounded? Yuexin said very easily: "I, it's okay, my grandfather is just a paper tiger, looking fierce." When I came back, I just taught me a lesson, and then it disappeared. ”

"Oh, so I'm relieved." Zhen Ye said. The five of them sat down together, drank happily, and chatted.
