Chapter 38: Thousands of strange people go around Huanggu Street
"Childe, when this animal is full of food and drink, the small one will trap it again, and let's go to Jinmingchi again."
Seeing Lin Ling whispering, Yang Zhen only thought that he was calculating the time, so he didn't bother him too much, just looked up at the white horse who was eating, and thought that the distance was not close, so he reminded him.
"Gongwei, don't bother, take the horse back to the stable, remember to ask Uncle Wu for more forage, don't starve and kill the horses of other people's carriages and horses."
"Since it's a familiar path, how can you be familiar with it while sitting in a carriage, so we'll walk there directly in a while, so I can see the different prosperity of Kyoto."
Hearing Lin Ling say this, Yang Zhen nodded, didn't say anything more, turned his head to see that the white horse had almost eaten, then stepped forward and put the rest of the hay under his armpit, reached out and pulled the reins of the horse, and walked into the backyard from the side door by mistake.
"Old gentleman, little sheng Lin Ling, thank you for the righteous rescue just now."
Watching Yang Zhen leave, Lin Ling shook his robe, came to the old man called Yuyang Hou, smiled at him, bent down and bowed deeply.
"Hey, don't use these vulgar rituals, they all say that they are righteous rescuers, but I hate that the old decay failed to ambush him, which is really a big regret in my life."
Looking at the old man's appearance of beating his chest, Lin Ling only felt unreal for a while, the original appearance of the old man standing with his back to his back gave Lin Ling the feeling of a knowledgeable elder, but now, this feeling has collapsed.
However, from the side, the old man's personality is very bold, in Lin Ling's opinion, this old man is heroic and enthusiastic about helping others, and he should be a person who can be friends.
"What the old gentleman said is that once this animal becomes manic, in the final analysis, it is a murderer and not a spiritual creature, and if it hurts itself, it will not be good after all."
had a good impression of the old man, and Lin Ling's tone of voice became much gentler.
"Alas, the years are not forgiving, I want to be on the battlefield in the old man holding a three-foot green front, killing countless enemies, and now that he is old, even surrendering a horse has to be told again and again."
"Okay, Xiaoyou, please stop, if you and I are fated, he will meet again one day, so, the old man said goodbye."
Before Lin Ling could say anything, the old man arched his hand at Lin Ling as if he was avoiding something, and then turned into the alley on the side and disappeared.
Looking at the old man who was running away quickly, Lin Ling habitually touched his chin, looked at the old man's back and muttered, "What a strange person..."
Yang Zhen: "Childe, the horse is bolted, should we leave now?" ”
As soon as Yang Zhen walked out of the door, he saw Lin Ling staring at the corner of the alley on the side in a daze, although he was puzzled, but Yang Zhen knew the rules, and knew that if Lin Ling wanted to say something, he would definitely talk to him.
Hearing Yang Zhen ask, Lin Ling came back to his senses, sorted out his thoughts, and replied softly: "Let's go, it's not early, let's go early and return early." ”
Out of Qingwen Street, the two ran all the way to Dongcheng, but Lin Ling didn't know the distance, but Yang Zhen was a person who understood, as an old oilman who had been wandering in Kyoto for six years, Yang Zhen knew the distance between Beicheng and Dongcheng.
After turning a street market again, there are more pedestrians on the road, although it is not bustling, but every shop is full of doors, and the goods sold are also dazzling, all over the world.
It's just that there are many wine shops and teahouses in Beicheng, just like the commercial streets of later generations, but Dongcheng is not, because Dongcheng is the location of the imperial city, so compared with the other three cities, the cultural market town here is much denser.
After the two walked for about half an hour, Yang Zhen turned his head to look at the fine beads of sweat on Lin Ling's forehead, cleared his throat and said:
"Childe, don't be afraid that Gongwei talks too much, it is estimated that it will take a long time to walk this walk, since Childe doesn't like carriages, then when we pass by the donkey market in a while, I will rent a donkey to come over, so as to travel for Childe."
Yang Zhen was kind-hearted, but Lin Ling didn't think so: "It's okay, I'm in good health, I think that when I set off from Yangcheng with Pinyi, relying on the strength of these legs, I walked to Wanliang Mountain five hundred miles away, what a great achievement." ”
"Come to think of it, the distance between the north city and the east city is just a few miles away, even if it breaks the sky."
After listening to Lin Ling's words, Yang Zhen couldn't be persuaded to do anything, so he didn't say anything more, so he had to pick some streets with similar distances as much as possible.
After walking about two streets in this way, after the two came to a spacious street, Lin Ling looked up and saw a cake stall on the street, and immediately felt hungry and thirsty.
Simply looked at the sun, it was almost noon, so Lin Ling stopped and took advantage of the rest, looked up at Yang Zhen, who was looking at the crowd, and said, "Gongwei, I'm a little hungry, why don't you go to the cake shop across the street and buy some cooking cakes to eat." ”
Lin Ling said this, and had already found a bench to sit down in front of the tea stall on the side, and raised his head and shouted to the guy who was busy on the side: "Dr. Tea, bring me two bowls of herbal tea to quench your thirst." ”
At this time, the guy who was busy fetching water on the side heard the voice, hurriedly raised his head, and found that it was a weak young man, so he immediately changed his face to a smile: "This son, please wait a while, the herbal tea will come soon." ”
With that, the fellow went to the sidelines to get busy.
After waiting for a while, two large bowls of dark red herbal tea were brought to the square table by the guy and pushed in front of Lin Ling.
"Childe, please use it slowly."
After speaking, the guy was about to turn around and leave, but Lin Ling hurriedly stopped: "Dare to ask Dr. Cha, what street is this?" How far is it from the Golden Pond? ”
As soon as the guy heard Lin Ling ask, he immediately gushed endlessly, obviously he had been questioned by the guests too many times, and he was used to it:
"Oh, this is Huanggu Street, because to the south is the Inner City Ring River, but most of the locals like to call it the Ancient River, and this street is named after it."
"If you want to say that Jin Mingchi, Childe can be regarded as the right place, from here just go all the way to the east, and when Childe can see the East City Longwuwei Arrow Tower, just go west and walk two streets."
"If Gongzi sees a lake blocking the road, then congratulations to Gongzi, that is Jinming Lake, then you only need to follow the crowd to reach the school field of the Dragon Wuwei Camp, where the martial arts will be held."
Lin Ling hadn't said his purpose yet, but he was unexpectedly guessed by this tea doctor, and he was stunned in his heart at the moment, but as long as he thought about it deeply, it was now the time of the Wenwu Palace, I am afraid there was no need to guess, as long as he went to Jinmingchi, it must be to watch the martial arts.
"So, thank you, Dr. Cha."
However, although Lin Ling has Yang Zhen to lead the way, he doesn't have to listen to the analysis of the guy's route, but the people are kind, and Lin Ling has to thank him.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, please use it slowly."
The guy was also refreshing, and when he saw Lin Ling being polite, he waved his hand at him, returned to his stall, and poured tea for the other guests.
Just when Lin Ling lowered his head to drink tea, a two-horse-powered carriage came from the direction of Nancheng and was heading towards Huanggu Street Avenue.
Although the carriage looked plain, like a common man's car, on the curtain behind the carriage, it was clearly engraved with an intricate pentagonal pattern.
On both sides of the pattern are two red-crowned cranes folded in half, and the cranes are shrouded in auspicious clouds, hidden under the five-pointed stars, and are suddenly shining a little by the sunset in the west.
