Grandma Hu said coldly: "The people involved in this matter, whether they are officials or green forests, or nouveau riche like Qin Lao Wu...... I'll give you a seat for the time being, old lady, and you can do it. If you give someone a promise, you are a daughter. I've been planted on the Qin family and their brothers all my life, and I've done these butt wiping shit things for them all my life. ”

Liu Songming said: "Madam, the fifth master ......"

Grandma Hu glanced at Liu Songming: "Go, go, find your master." I know that you are not used to serving the old lady and me, and I am not as good as their Qin family's blood relatives in an outer room. As she spoke, Grandma Hu looked at me and smiled, "Go and call your aunt, let's have dinner." Eldest grandson, don't say it, the old lady and I have always had an eye for you, and it is estimated that the old lady will save you a lot of trouble by giving you a little effort. ”

I nodded in agreement and got up to call my aunt. When I entered the courtyard, I shrugged my shoulders, and this morning's experience was as if I had a dream, as long as the big and small things reached the old lady's mouth, it seemed that they would not be called trouble.

Lingnan is now the whole territory of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and the Red River Delta of Vietnam. Lingnan is bordered by Wuling in the north, the South China Sea in the south, Yunnan-Guizhou in the west, and Fujian in the east, covering most of present-day Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and northern Vietnam. The so-called "five mountains" in Lingnan refer to the five mountains of Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge and Da Yu Ridge.

After the meal, Grandma Hu laid out a yellowed map of the late Qing Dynasty and told me that the area around the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam also belonged to the Lingnan region, and that it was very likely that I would cross the national border and smuggle into northern Vietnam.

I could feel the heavy atmosphere of this conversation, and my grandmother kept telling me what she knew about the customs and customs of Lingnan in the early years. Until parting, Grandma Hu handed over a few bottles and cans to Liu Songming's hands and told the two of us: "Songming accompanied his eldest grandson to Lingnan to find that place, not to mention the difficulties and dangers, it must not be without ups and downs." Old lady, I will give you the qi-replenishing and condensing elixir that I have refined over the years, in case the water and soil in the north and south are difficult to reconcile; Then there are some external and internal healing medicines, which go into the mountains and forests, snakes, insects and beasts can hide when they encounter them, and they must cherish their lives. There is an old lady in the north and I am in charge, and the affairs in the south are all transferred by Songming, and if I can let others do it without risk, I must protect my eldest grandson. ”

"I have informed my men to prepare in the south in advance, and this is a matter of great importance, and Matsuna will certainly live up to his trust. Mrs. Hu take care of her body, and I will leave with the little master. Liu Songming clenched his fists and saluted, and he was going to take me away.

I looked down at the jade pendant that was still glowing, took out the fragment of He's bi from my pocket, and handed it to my aunt who accompanied Grandma Hu to see her off: "Grandma, grandma." Since the jade pendant is the key to finding that place, I can't take this Hebi fragment with me. This jade pendant has no light and its own light, so that the villains can only increase their rights and wrongs when they see it. ”

My aunt took the fragment of He's Bi, held my hand and said, "Listen to your grandmother, this trip is yours." Fifth Uncle Qin wants you to go there too, there must be a reason why he has to let you go. Child, it's still the same sentence, our own family will never do anything to harm you. ”

I sighed and said, "I figured it out too." "I figured it out, since I brought this jade pendant, I have entered the bureau of Qin Wuyebu, he can come back from the dead, hide from the world, and I have relied on his arrangement to live a good life for more than two years, there is no way, even if I don't go now, he has a way to force me to go. I know that I can't break this game, and I can't fight the fate designed by others, what is the difference between my little struggle and mayflies shaking the tree......

On this trip, I went with a heart of fear and decided that it would not work, so I had to take it as a free tolerance and travel to Lingnan.

Ever since I left Grandma Hu's house, Liu Songming has been following closely behind me and still won't talk to me. It wasn't until I left Dongtou Yang Village that he stopped me and said, "Young master, stay here." I stopped when I heard this, and saw Liu Songming wave his hand in the distance, and a reddish-brown Santana 87 drove out of the shade.

When the car got closer, I took a closer look at the driver, who was wearing black sunglasses, and he looked very unfamiliar.

After getting into the car, Liu Songming said to the driver: "Ask someone to buy the train ticket first, and our shopkeeper and I will leave tonight." ”

The driver turned his head sideways and took out Big Brother to start arranging matters, and I realized that this driver was actually a fellow villager with me.

I glanced at Liu Songming and asked tentatively, "Brother Liu, are you sure we can find that place?" ”

Liu Songming made a "shhhh The car was getting farther and farther away, and when he was about to get on the road, Liu Songming opened the window, and a whistle came out of his mouth, and there was immediately a golden light in the distance from far and near, rushing into the car, and was taken into his sleeve by Liu Songming.

"Isn't this the golden bird? It's still with you......" My eyes widened when I landed, how could this thing be so evil, better than a real bird.

Liu Songming smiled when he heard this, and he didn't shy away from it, he looked at me and replied: "Mrs. Hu has a perverse temperament, and it is better to be quiet in her land. Liu Songming stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder, and then said, "Little master, Fifth Master Qin gave me an order before leaving. Don't worry, let's go to Guilin, Guangxi first, and then go to that place after a few days of sightseeing. You have to know, 'Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo can be called the best Guilin.' The peaks reflect the mountains and float in the water, and there is no water and no mountains. ’”

"The poems of the modern poet Wu Mai." I pretended to be honest and said with a smile, "I'll just say, what's wrong with Brother Liu...... Alas, don't mention it, I originally planned to come to Grandma Hu to ask for something that she wanted to go...... It didn't say anything......"

"The children can be taught. In the past two years, your growth has been considerable. Liu Songming nodded and smiled, and then waved his hand again, "I have known about you from beginning to end." Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Hu actually saved your life. ”

"Huh?" I was surprised, "Then what did Grandma Hu do with Li Laodao?" ”

"The Dan Fang of the Red Life Continuation Pill." Liu Songming groaned slightly, and then said, "This matter is far from being as simple as you think. Qin Wuye told Mrs. Hu the secret of the bronze mirror, and only then did Mrs. Hu make a deal with Li Guanghe Daoren with the Red Flame Continuation Dan Fang. This Li Guanghe Li Dao man can really be regarded as a very deep and cunning city. ”

I nodded, "According to himself, he stayed with me for seventeen years in order to get a secret......"

Liu Songming interrupted me and said, "The human heart is terrifying...... Chi Yan's Life Continuation Pill gave Qin Wuye an extra 10 years of life, and now he is also the last fight. Returning, the countryside will not return? As he spoke, he leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes and said, "Sleep for a while, we still have most of China to leave, and we are not in a hurry to finish talking at once." "Ke ......" I still wanted to open my mouth to ask, but after a moment, Liu Songming was already snoring. I frowned, thinking that Liu Songming was deliberately hiding something from me.

I turned my head to look at the driver, but surprisingly, the driver spoke before I could speak. He said: "The young shopkeeper, Zai Xia has just been transferred back from the outside of the customs, and I don't know anything about it." You can rest for a while, and I'll wake you up again when you get to the train station. ”

I was surprised: "Outside the gate? Have you left Shanhaiguan? ”

The driver turned his head in the right direction, looked at me deeply, and then turned back again. He said: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper to know some allusions...... No, I was Juyongguan in Beidu until ......"

"Guyuan County...... Dressing House Yuan Tomb. I muttered.

The driver was driving the car at a faster speed, and suddenly hung up the neutral gear, and the throttle sound of "woo" suddenly sounded. He hurriedly hung up the stall and praised it sideways: "The young shopkeeper is erudite." ”

I shook my head and confessed, "You know what I've been doing in the past two years, right?" I was just curious about where Genghis Khan's tomb was buried, so I knew a little more. I lowered my head and rubbed my fingers, and asked, "This big brother, why did I mention that you have such a big reaction in Guyuan County?" The driver was silent for a while, and after a while, he prevaricated: "Young shopkeeper, I have admired Yuan Shi all my life, so I have been patrolling outside the gate......"

I followed the driver's words and continued to find words: "Hunting? The word reminds me of 'hunting', but I believe that what you call 'hunting' and what Masato calls 'leisure' are both humble titles. "I want to dig out some secrets from his mouth that I don't know, and see if he can talk to me anymore.

At this time, Liu Songming twisted his body and coughed heavily. Immediately, the snoring began again.

In this way, no matter what I talked to the driver about, he would ignore me. Helplessly, I turned my head to look out the window, and in less than half an hour, the car had already driven into the city.

Alas! When I thought about it, I hadn't reached a settlement with the landlord on the issue of compensation, my agreement with the fat man was gone, my plan to build a house with Chen Ergou had not been implemented, and I was even missing for a while again without saying goodbye to my parents...... I had the jade pendant given to me by Grandpa Li around my neck, the dagger given to me by Lu Fengqin, and the bank card that I had saved for life.

I wondered if I had a one-sided understanding of Lingnan, but after thinking about it, not to mention the southernmost point of China, even the south is a place that I, a northerner, find extremely mysterious. I heard that it doesn't snow over there, it rains every day, and everyone in the sun is dark...... In this era of information development, I suddenly found that I knew nothing about them except for a few southerners who sold breakfast and spoke broken Mandarin.

The set that my grandmother said to me is definitely not very useful now, because every time she says something, she always has to hang up "at the end of the Qing Dynasty", I have to pinch my fingers, if my grandmother was mixed in Lingnan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and she still has to be able to walk the rivers and lakes, how can she be in her twenties at that time, so she has to be more than 110 years old by now, this is still conservatively calculated.

I won't say much about the story told by my grandmother, but it can be summed up in just over ten words: the folk customs are fierce, simple and enthusiastic, careful budgeting, and the three of them become tigers.

We were originally a small city here, and we were not far from the train station when we entered the city. In a few moments, the car arrived at the place.

Liu Songming seemed to be sleeping soundly, and as soon as the car stopped, he opened his eyes suddenly. I was going to call him, but I was taken aback by the scene.

Liu Songming seemed to be in much better spirits after a good night's sleep, he smiled and said, "Young master, people like us are always half-asleep and half-awake all day long, regardless of black and white. Scares you, don't blame, don't blame. ”

I squeezed out a smile and replied, "It's fine." I've been worried for the past two years, and I've not been sleeping well. Understand, understand. ”

Liu Songming sat up straight, took a deep breath, and said to me, "Okay, let's go and meet the next guy to get tickets." ”

Of course, I let it all be arranged, but when I saw Liu Songming sitting up straight in the car, I suddenly felt a burst of amusement. His head was also lowered. But when I wanted to laugh out loud, I remembered the scene when Liu Songming fought Lu Fengqin - Lu Fengqin, who was covered in scale armor and a weapon with an iron fan, was not Liu Songming's opponent at all. Who would have thought that this short, seemingly honest man who would quickly drown if thrown into a pile of people, would be a sharp blade of Fifth Master Qin......

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for me and Liu Songming, and then bent down to salute.

Liu Songming helped him up and explained: "Sanrenhe, I will entrust you with all the affairs in the north." We agreed that in half a year, if I and the young master still haven't been able to come back, you can take my letter and go to the locksmith. ”

The three of them straightened up, solemnly took the palm-sized square wrapped in brown paper that Liu Songming handed him, and bowed again: "Liu Sigong, what if Lu Sigong returned to the north first?" ”

Liu Songming patted Sanrenhe on the shoulder, leaned over and pressed his ear and said, "Kill." The voice is like the chirping of mosquitoes, but it is fierce and decisive. He then straightened up and beckoned to me, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the next person to get your ticket." Maybe you don't know this person. ”

Liu Songming walked beside me, chatting with me seemingly casually as he walked: "Sanrenhe is the most likely candidate for the younger generation after me and Lu Fengqin to take over the Northern Sigong, are you still satisfied, young master?" This time I went to the Peach Blossom Stream, Qin Wuye said that he was going to find immortal things, but in fact, I heard that there is also a little grandson of Qin Wuye alive in the Peach Blossom Stream...... On this trip, the young master must be cautious in his words and deeds, and be careful and be careful. ”

I stopped and glanced at Liu Songming with a solemn expression, and sure enough, his so-called silence was waiting to give me a big "surprise".

"Peach Blossom Stream?" I raised my eyebrows, "So Brother Liu knows that place?" That ......"

I was going to ask Liu Songming why he was hiding it from Grandma Hu, but Liu Songming soon responded.

Liu Song led the way, waved his hand, and said without looking back: "It's non-toxic." I do know something, after all, I have been with the fifth master for decades, and it is a worm that has also understood human nature. If the fifth master's mind really makes you look for it in Lingnan, Lu Fengqin must not pat his ass and go with the fifth master. I guess...... Forget it, this matter can't be explained clearly in a while, and we will naturally see it when we get to the place. ”
