The reign of the Sui Dynasty was not long, it seems to be only thirty-eight years in memory, it is one of the shortest-lived dynasties in Chinese history, it seems that because it ended the long-term division situation, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came up with a imperial examination system, so it has a very high status in history.

After the death of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty was a person who was very happy, there was too much money and grain, and there was nowhere to spend it, so he dug canals, extravagantly wasted, and fought in the south and north, which directly pushed the situation that had just stabilized directly to extinction.

Yang Guang liked Jiangnan very much, and when there was a war in the later period, Yang Guang still wanted to move the capital to Danyang, which is now Nanjing, but he didn't expect to be killed by his mutinous soldiers on the way.

Before his death, Yang Guang went down to the south of the Yangtze River several times, each time he paid attention to the pomp, one of which was when he took a dragon boat, he fell in love with a "palace foot girl", that is, a female fiber puller, so he recruited it into the palace, accepted it as a concubine, and also called it "Mrs. Kongtong".

This palace foot girl is Wu Jiangxian, and she is also the ancestor of the current Falling Flower Cave Girl.

The Falling Flower Cave Maiden cannot fall in love with anyone, let alone have a relationship with anyone, because she is a tribute to the gods. Although Wu Jiangxian was a girl in the Falling Flower Cave, she did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders, and after entering the palace, she broke the rules, and in order to make up for it, she sent the daughter born to Emperor Yang of Sui back to the tribe and became the new Falling Flower Cave Girl.

Since then, before every Falling Flower Cave Girl "ascends to immortal", she will designate the next candidate for the Falling Flower Cave Girl, these girls are only two or three years old, and the eldest is only twelve or thirteen years old, most of them are orphan girls in the tribe who have lost their parents, so this vein is called a vein passed down by Wu Jiangxian, and today's Ruo Ran is the same.

Some people also say that because Wu Jiangxian disobeyed the gods, the gods would condemn her and the people around her. So a few years later, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed, and the Sui Dynasty was immediately destroyed, while Wu Jiangxian committed suicide and died......

"Alas, how did I find out that every amorous emperor will have a story to sing and cry about, and there will be a confidant who is willing to live and die together." While eating noodles, I listened to the story of the Falling Flower Cave Girl told by Uncle Bao Weng, and sighed with emotion.

"It's not easy for the emperor either." Uncle Bao Weng smiled: "Behind the singing and crying, there are all tragedies. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and took the last bite of noodles with a full burp.

Then we packed up our things and walked out of the store, looking at everything around us, and we couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Ten hours ago, there were still people doing business here, and there were still people driving corpses, but now, all of them are gone. This "town", which has existed for an unknown number of years, is finally completely abandoned today......

We discussed it and decided to go out of the mountain the same way, return to Longshan County, take a bus to Jishou City, take a train back to Jinan in Jishou City, and Uncle Bao Weng returned to Miao Village.

I changed the car halfway, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that I finally rushed back to Jinan.

Tired from the journey, I ordered a takeout with my second uncle, and then sat on the first floor of the antique store to rest.

"Second uncle! You're back?! ”

I was sitting on the sofa, I was so tired that I was about to fall asleep, a shout startled me, and a spirit sat up and saw Chu Ying looking at me with a wicked smile: "Huh? Brother Gu Rui, why are you so tired? ”

"Good boy!" I frowned and looked bitter: "Even if I didn't do anything, let your roar scare me half to death!" ”

"Hehe, I've been passing by several times in the past few days, and I found that you guys were closed and didn't reply to your messages, so I almost called the police!" Chu Ying said seriously.

"Big sister, you're a policeman yourself!" I was speechless and said, "Forget it, you just got off work?" Let's eat at home, don't go home, I just ordered takeout with my second uncle! ”

As he was talking, the takeaway was delivered, and three dishes and two meals seemed to be not enough......

"Xiaorui, you go out and buy some more." The second uncle greeted me with a smile.

As soon as I got up, Chu Ying grabbed me: "Forget it, second uncle, I invited you to dinner today, I've been here for a long time, and I haven't had a chance to invite you to dinner, so I don't want to go!" ”

"Ha, good! Yingying is also sensible! The second uncle agreed: "By the way, call your parents, I haven't drunk with Lao Chu for a long time!" ”

"Ah, that's not a coincidence!" When Chu Ying heard that she was going to call her parents, she immediately had a regretful expression and pursed her mouth: "Neither of them is at home today, next time, second uncle!" ”

"No wonder!" I found an opportunity, and immediately teased: "It turns out that my uncle and aunt are not at home, and no one cares about the little police flower eating!" I really thought ...... Oops! Okay, go, let's go! ”

After all, a female man is a female man, and pretending to be a lady can't last long, hearing my words, Chu Ying immediately stepped on the top of my slipper-wearing feet, which made me grin in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

packed up, went out and took a taxi, and rushed to the Xiangyu hot pot restaurant that Chu Ying had always wanted to eat.

Half an hour later, we were eating hot pot and chatting.

"Nothing strange lately, right?" I was so hungry that I was eating the meat and asked Chu Ying, who was chatting with my second uncle on the side.

"No, thanks to you!" Chu Ying smiled and filled me with two balls: "If there is one every day, I will resign and quit directly!" By the way, Sister Xiaoxiao's unit is okay, right? Look at my brain, I forgot to call Sister Xiaoxiao! Now half eaten this ......"

"Forget it, I just called her, and I'm busy working overtime!" I glanced at Chu Ying, who pretended to be regretful and aggrieved, and gave her a slope. Who doesn't know what this girl thinks, first said that her parents were not at home, and now they are eating and blame herself for not being called Su Xiao, a fool can see it. It's good to be able to bring the second uncle with you.

"Excuse me, need to ......"

While passing by the waiter who added the soup came over and asked if I wanted to add soup, I stopped suddenly halfway through speaking, and I looked up with fish balls in my mouth, and almost spit out the balls directly!

This waitress turned out to be Zhao Jing! It was Zhao Jing, who had saved me once in Bears Ears Mountain before, and said not long ago that she was going to come to Jinan to find a job, but she didn't expect to come, and she didn't expect to run into it like this! What a coincidence!

"Gu Rui? Are you really? Zhao Jing confirmed that it was indeed me, and her face was pleasantly surprised.

"Oh, well, yes, I didn't expect to see it here!" I'm a little unnatural, they're all adults, I can at least guess what this Zhao Jing means to me, I really didn't expect it when I met it here.

"You eat first, my friend, go over and talk for a while!" I hurriedly wiped my mouth and stood up, said hello to Chu Ying and the second uncle with a smile, and pulled Zhao Jing to the side: "Are you really here?" ”

"yes!" Zhao Jing coiled up her hair, revealing an ordinary-looking round face, which seemed to be thinner than before, and her face was a little sallow: "I quit my job over there anyway, and I can't keep going to work, so I came over and interviewed a few companies, and the treatment given by this family is not bad, just in time for the peak season, I just stayed and went to work!" ”

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine." I smiled and said, "Call me if you have something, since you are here, we are friends again, at least we are more familiar with you in Jinan." ”

"Uh-huh, got it!" Zhao Jing also laughed: "Let's go eat, I'm also busy!" ”

I smiled and nodded back to my seat, Chu Ying glared at me: "Classmate? ”

I shook my head.

"A former colleague?"

I continued to shake my head.

"What friend?"

"Ordinary friends!" I'm getting a little impatient.

"Oh, come, eat meatballs!"

……

After two days of rest at home, I was almost adjusted. The itinerary in the past few days is not much easier than the previous operations, and the second uncle was injured, which is just about the same. As for Uncle Bao Weng, he also helped us inquire as soon as he returned to Miao Village, and the information he got was similar to what he told us before.

In this way, the clues to find Xiu'er's predecessors have been broken again, and I don't know if there is any news from the old woman's predecessors. Although she said that she was traveling, I understood that she was looking for Master, that is, Xiu'er's senior.

On the day when the second dragon raised its head in the second lunar month, I received a call from Liang Ruoyi.
