Chapter Twenty-Six: The Empty Experience
After entering the pass, the carriage had already entered Yuzhou City. With the water gently lifted the curtain, the cold and clear wind slightly drilled in, this state is really not as prosperous as the heavenly city, this street alone, it is much simpler, but the atmosphere of the market is much stronger, even in winter, the sound of selling comes and goes, all kinds of strange things and tastes, this fireworks is very close.
Not long after Bi Baizi woke up, his spirit was much better, and he shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat all the food in Yuzhou.
The driver stopped in the backyard of a restaurant, and the group got out of the car. Dukong briefly explained a few words, and first went to the pharmacy in the west of the city, saying that he wanted to visit a few old guys in the business and talk about this business. Or maybe they knew that the two had something to say, so they found an excuse to leave first.
Bi Baizi grabbed the water and walked out of the restaurant, the street was so lively, "The world's first-class food can all be in these stalls, hehe, let's try it!" ”
Looking at the stalls on the street with water, many of them are selling grain, and the state is heavy on agriculture, and has the reputation of "one state feeds the four seas". The two of them found a stall, fried fruits, beef in sauce, wonton noodles... Bi Baizi ordered a few things before he sat down satisfied.
I looked at the sky in the distance with water, the twilight was vast, the sunset had sunset, so much had happened today, but the thought of going home had not diminished for half a minute. This is the first time in nearly half a year that she feels that she is so close to Agarwood Valley, and even if she looks at it, she wants to go back to see her father and mother.
Bi Baizi tilted his head and sighed, "Ah Shui, are you still thinking about the morning?" The silence with water did not answer. Bi Baizi fiddled with the plates on the table, and said absent-mindedly, "I'll tell you a secret that digs out my heart, is it okay to make you happy for half an hour", Bi Baizi suddenly felt a little cramped, and hesitated, "I... I'm in love with that goose."
With water was not enough to raise a little spirit, but the woman's nature successfully aroused her curiosity. Silly goose is the nickname of Kaibao's kid, since his brother was defeated, he has been sticking behind Bi Baizi like a fart all day long. But she couldn't believe that the restrained person in front of her was actually Bi Baizi, who had eaten two bowls of noodle soup, three steamed buns, and a plate of sauce and meat half an hour ago, and had ten burps in a row?!
With an inexplicable smile on his face, he put one hand around Bi Baizi, and was about to interrogate something, but was dodged by this Nizi gag.
"Ah Shui! I'll tell you another story, hehe... Once upon a time, there was a wealthy family, and his ancestors were all in business. When he was old, he had a son and gave birth to a boy. The family was originally harmonious and beautiful, but one day there was a stinky Taoist priest outside the mansion", said Bi Baizi and closed his eyes and recited a few incantations, which was funny in a flash, "This stinky Taoist priest and the doorman said that the family died early, and if they continue to stay in the mansion, the foundation of the ancestral industry will be destroyed sooner or later." ”
Speaking of this, Bi Baizi was a little indignant, and slapped the table, "That year coincided with the bad fortune of the country, and the businessmen fell in the middle. Unexpectedly, this merchant really believed it! He sent someone to find a good home for the infant baby."
I don't know what Bi Baizi wants to say, and I still regret the gossip I missed just now. "As fate would have it, the man was so deluded that he sold the baby to a drug dealer. There is a very precious medicine in the folk, and the baby can be soaked in medicinal wine for seven days...".
Bi Baizi glanced at the frowning brows of Dai Shui, and he couldn't say anything anymore, so he changed his tone again, "At that time, the master was taking the first batch of medicine disciples out to collect wind, and when he met this drug dealer, he noticed that it was strange, so he saved the baby", Bi Baizi suddenly paused, looked at Dai Shui seriously, and said, "This baby is Dukong."
The pupil with water contracted suddenly, and said incredulously, "Alone... Commander of the Lonely Sky Division? ”
Bi Baizi glanced at the food that had just been served, and while picking up the chopsticks and feasting, he explained, "These are all what the master told me, Ah Shui, I think your words in the day are really a bit excessive", but he was afraid that he would be too guilty of bringing water, and then added, "You don't have to worry too much, Master Dukong is not a person who holds grudges, eat and drink well, forget about it!" ”
She didn't expect Dukong to have such a life experience, no wonder, he treats people humbly and gently, but he always has a sense of alienation, find an opportunity to apologize. After that, they dealt with a few more bites casually, and when Bi Baizi finished eating, the two finally returned to the restaurant.
With water, under the pretext of running around and working hard, he was physically exhausted, and sent Bi Baizi back to his room. I rented a fast horse at the post station and took advantage of the night to run out of the city.
Carrying water to drive the horse through the forest, from time to time startled the white bats on the branches, all around the sound of insects and birds and beasts, the cold wind blowing in the ears, some cold. Walking in this wilderness at night, it is false to say that you are not afraid, but more of it is the excitement and anticipation of returning home.
After running for more than half an hour, the horses were tired and panting, but the familiar scene in front of him called Daishui couldn't take his eyes off for a moment. He turned over and dismounted, tied his horse to a tree beside him, and ran with water to the bottom of the valley.
But the closer you get to the small courtyard, it's a little strange, it stands to reason that at this hour, my father and mother haven't rested, and the lights should naturally be lit, but why - it's dark in front of me...?
In winter, the courtyard is a little desolate under the moonlight, a few old trees are also withered, and there is a faint visible, the vegetable garden of Yu Niang in the distance is also barren and messy, and it is no longer like before he left, with all kinds of lush vegetables and herbs.
Brought water into the house in the dark, the door was unlocked, and shouted softly, "Dad, mother, I'm back!" ”
...
But it was quiet, and no one answered. I walked to the table with water, looked for a long time, and found an oil lamp in the house with only the remnants of the stars, wiped the fire and lit it, and the room became bright.
With water and oil lamps, I turned around a few rooms, but I didn't see a trace of people at all. However, on the bed of Shen's second father, he found a few letters sent by himself, as if they had not been opened, scattered on the bed.
There was no anger at all in this house, lying on the bed with water, looking at the familiar thatched roof overhead, and his heart was mixed. My father and mother have never been far away, even if there is really something important, I should write a letter to explain it, this is not like the style of his second elder... Maybe it's because I've thought about it too much, isn't there still an old person, maybe these two people went to visit again, and he comforted himself in his heart.
With a long sigh, he blew the oil lamp with water, locked the house, and walked towards the dense forest. If you can't even see Ah Wu today, it's really wearing a hat and holding an umbrella, and I've been on a trip many times.
Deep in the dense forest, a huge figure shook its long-asleep, inactive body, its amber eyes slightly open.
