The beggar said vaguely: "Who doesn't know this, if it's not isolated from the world, why doesn't anyone know about the place of Peach Blossom Spring?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan pressed forward step by step, and asked, "Why do you know the place of Peach Blossom Spring?" ”

The beggar couldn't hide the panic in his heart, and raised his hand and said, "I wander around this street every day, what do I not know?" What is so strange about this place? After speaking, he turned around and strode towards the end of the street, obviously deliberately avoiding Wu Zhiyuan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Zhiyuan faintly felt that this beggar must know something, how could he let it go easily, and hurriedly chased after him and grabbed the beggar's wrist.

"What are you doing?" The beggar turned around in amazement and asked, "Do you want to rob this in broad daylight?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the beggar coldly, pretended to have a vicious expression, and said in a dark voice: "I won't rob you, but I will beat you in the stomach!" As he spoke, he raised his fist and made a gesture of hitting someone.

The beggar should have lived a long life of begging, and he should have been beaten a lot, at this time, seeing Wu Zhiyuan's raised fist, he was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again.

"Tell me everything you know about Peach Blossom Spring, or I'll make you vomit all the food you just ate right away!"

Wu Zhiyuan has never pretended to be a villain, but because he has seen many wicked people, it is not very difficult to pretend.

The beggar was obviously most afraid of being beaten, looked to the left and right, and whispered, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's change places and come with me." ”

The three of them walked through several alleys to an abandoned mansion with broken jars and bowls everywhere, and a pile of ashes in the center, which was supposed to be where the beggars spent the night.

The beggar sat down in a corner, and Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang did not sit, but stood opposite him.

"Say it." Wu Zhiyuan said concisely.

The beggar scratched his head, as if he was a little manic, and as if he was straightening out his thoughts, he straightened up, sighed, and said, "Young man, in fact, you underestimated the old man and me." Although I have been asking for food in this town for more than ten years, I still don't want to sell things that shouldn't be sold for a meal of wine and food, so these things I want to tell you today are what I originally wanted to tell you. The reason why I ate your meal is to find an opportunity to find out the purpose of your inquiry. I can see that you are fierce to me, but you are actually anxious in your heart, as if you really want to save people. I can tell you everything I know about Peach Blossom Garden. ”

Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang glanced at each other happily, and hurriedly thanked the beggar.

The beggar waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, listen to me first, maybe, I can't help you anything." ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the beggar and didn't understand what he meant by this, but he knew that he would understand soon, so he didn't interrupt, just waited patiently.

The beggar looked at the ruins outside and recalled: "I have been away from the Peach Blossom Garden for some years, I only remember more than ten years, how many years it was, I really don't remember." ”

"Senior, are you really from Peach Blossom Garden?" Sheng Wanxiang asked in surprise.

The beggar nodded slowly, and let out an "um" sound between his snorts.

"According to Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", the people of the Peach Blossom Land lived in seclusion to escape the war of the Qin Dynasty, so aren't you a descendant of the remnants of the Qin Dynasty?" Sheng Wanxiang asked again.

The beggar smiled indifferently, there was a sense of lightness in his smile, he was noncommittal, but he had already answered Sheng Wanxiang's question.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and the beggar continued: "The life of the Peach Blossom Land is indifferent and quiet, carefree, and I am a restless person, since I was a child, I have hoped to have the opportunity to go around the world, and by chance, I found the entrance to the world, and ran out alone in the middle of the night, when I was only thirty-five years old, and now more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

"Have you ever been back in the past ten years?" Wu Zhiyuan is most concerned about this problem, if this beggar has gone back, it means that he still remembers the way to the Peach Blossom Spring.

The beggar sighed again and said, "If I can find my way back, why bother begging here?" ”

"You don't remember your way back?" Sheng Wanxiang also asked.

"I don't remember." The beggar shook his head and said, "It was night when I sneaked out, there was no moon that night, and it was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, but I remember that when I came out of the cave, there was a peach blossom forest outside, and there was a stream in the middle of the peach forest, and I didn't see anything else, so I didn't have any impression." ”

Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang both showed disappointed expressions when they heard this, so it seems that what this beggar said is true, and he really can't find a way back, otherwise he will never beg here, and he will be forced by all the cold, warmth, hunger and cold.

The three of them were silent again, the beggar seemed to have said everything he could, and there was nothing to say at this time, while Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang were immersed in disappointment.

"When you were in the restaurant, you said that there was no peach blossom nectar in the Peach Blossom Garden, is this true or false?" Wu Zhiyuan asked suddenly.

The beggar closed his eyes and meditated: "Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Blossom Nectar, all have the word Peach Blossom, I don't know if there is any connection between them, but I have lived in Peach Blossom Land for more than 30 years, and I have never heard of such a thing as Peach Blossom Nectar." More than ten years have passed, and if Lao Shi Chang is still alive, he may know if there is such a thing as peach blossom nectar. ”

"What's long?" Wu Zhiyuan was stunned.

"It's about the same as your chief here." The beggar added.

When Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, he proposed that ten households were one guarantee, five guarantees were one big guarantee, and ten major guarantees were one guarantee. This system was used until the Republican period, and in some areas ruled by local warlords, there was still the term "baochang".

Wu Zhiyuan wanted to ask the beggar about the name of the old chief, but he thought that he couldn't find the location of the Peach Blossom Spring, even if he knew the name of the old chief, it would be useless, so he was silent. The atmosphere was a little dull, at this time Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang no longer had any questions that the beggar could solve, and the beggar had no secrets to tell them.

"I don't know the location of the Peach Blossom Spring, and it's useless to know more." Wu Zhiyuan dodged out of the door and said to the beggar, "Thank you seniors for your guidance, you can go." ”

The beggar laughed a few times, lay back on his back, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Young man, you see clearly, this is the beggars' nest, and it is you who are leaving, do you want to stay and ask for food with us?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked embarrassed, and then remembered that this house was a place where beggars gathered for the night, and he was actually anti-guest, so he hugged his fist at the beggar, and pulled Sheng Wanxiang to walk out of the door together.

As soon as he walked to the door, Wu Zhiyuan remembered something, motioned for Sheng Wanxiang to wait here, and turned around and walked into the door again.
