Chapter 150: Preparation
The Falling Vulture Mountains, famous for crossing east and west, have a poem that says:
There is no trace of blue smoke, a thousand peaks have nowhere to go, the sky is meandering, and the lonely vulture is crying.
Falling Eagle Mountain blocks the sun and the east of the Yunyang, the rocks are craggy, the mountain is high and even the eagle can not pass, the ravine is like the sky destroying the earth, the dangerous peak is handsome, the thing is limited, like the hump is constant, if the divine horse is Teng, according to a pass can refuse to guard the south of the sky.
Ten miles north of Tianfeng Town, there is Hanshui Pass, with 3,000 soldiers stationed in Yunyang and 500 Dazhao troops, which is the fortress of Liangyang, and it is also the only way for Gu Lingyun and the two to go out of Yang.
Xiao Lin dressed Gu Lingyun as a little beggar, smeared it with thick mud, and rolled around in the muddy mud twice, and the two of them cowered and went to the town, but fortunately fooled the guards of Tianfeng Town and entered the town safely.
Pedestrians in Tianfeng are crowded, shouting, shouting and selling endlessly, there are also rivers and lakes chivalrous guests come and go, restaurants drink heavily, and businessmen from all parties use this to transit, bodyguards transport goods, the small town is also lively.
It's just that there are many people on the streets, and the sounds of begging and cursing are endless.
Most of them have a Zhaonan accent, presumably the victims of the south. This year, floods in Gangnam Province have caused countless houses to be submerged, and more than 100,000 people have died in the floods.
In order to prevent chaos among the victims, there were also hundreds of officers and soldiers in armor patrolling the town to block the way out of the county to prevent the people of Gufu from escaping.
The two planned to find a business travel team to blend in with them, wanting to confuse the public and get out of the cold water pass.
", beggar!"
This is the third time that they have been expelled, Gu Lingyun and the others were lifted by a burly man, thrown out of the street, and even slapped the dirty ash on his hands, with a look of disgust, and spit on the ground.
"In these days, the money is not good. ”
The two of them only felt pain all over their bodies, Xiao Lin spit out a mouthful of blood, and complained bitterly: "These barbarians, they are really ruthless!"
Immediately helped Gu Lingyun up, and the two came to a dark alley.
"With our appearance, no one will take us in, so it's better to walk over. ”
Gu Lingyun shook his head and sighed bitterly, after all, he was too immature because he had never been in the world.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and said bitterly: "Big brother, this Falling Eagle Mountain is a hundred miles wide, and jackals are rampant, and there are many mountain bandits, how can we walk through it with our little arms and legs." ”
Gu Lingyun was also helpless, always feeling that he was dragging him down, frowning and saying, "Otherwise, you should leave me alone." ”
"Hey, you obviously don't treat me Xiao Lin as a big brother, it's too much. Xiao Lin hugged Gu Lingyun's shoulders and patted his chest: "Don't worry, we must have a way to get out." ”
Gu Lingyun smiled bitterly, and his deep gaze cast a trace of gratitude, but now that the world is declining, who cares about the two little beggars.
The scorching sunlight seemed to scorch the earth, and it was arrogant.
It's hard to imagine that last night's monstrous rain like the Milky Way poured out has fallen into the dog days today, and it is changing.
"Quick, there's a good Samaritan over there!"
The sound of panic came, and when the homeless people lying in the alley heard this, their faces returned to a little blood, like a hungry wolf pounced on food, staggering up and running towards several simple sheds in front of them.
The fragrance of porridge permeated the deep alleys of Minjie, and at the same time attracted Xiao Lin's attention, the two of them were in a shady place to cool off in the sun, Xiao Lin suddenly recovered, pulled Gu Lingyun and rushed to the soup kitchen.
Gu Lingyun was already drowsy, he didn't know where to run, he thought that the chasing soldiers were coming, and he ran faster than Xiao Lin in a panic.
Xiao Lin scolded while chasing: "Why are you kid running so fast, isn't it just a little porridge?"
Then he was out of breath and hurriedly followed, pulling Gu Lingyun to run fast.
"Chasers?"
After running for more than ten meters, Gu Lingyun looked around, but he reacted and felt embarrassed.
Xiao Lin was speechless, and pointed his hand, the homeless people in front of him were crowded, and the beggars were fighting, just because in the three big porridge sheds, a group of people were giving porridge to the hungry, a cage of white-faced steamed buns was raised, and a few swordsmen shouted to maintain order.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share. ”
The exquisite sound is like a heavenly sound, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl on the stage is like a winter plum, standing proudly on it, the sound is like its person, the jade is crystal clear, and there is a light smile between the mouths, and the posture is delicate.
Although it has been two or six years, it has already shown the stunning color of the city, and in a glance, it makes people panic.
"This little girl is so pretty, I decided to sink. Xiao Lin looked like a nymphomaniac and rushed into the crowd, and others thought that he hadn't eaten for many days, so they kindly avoided it.
The boy went straight to where the girl was, and in three or two clicks, he was already close, and in the noisy noise, he took a bowl of porridge handed by the girl in a trance, a nest head.
He refused to back down for a long time, but he was instantly squeezed out by other homeless beggars, and walked back with a lonely face.
"Why, people didn't look at you more?" Gu Lingyun quipped, always feeling a little funny.
Xiao Lin pushed the things in his hand to Gu Lingyun, and said with a slightly desolate appearance: "You are still talking about cool words, as the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty, although it is poor, it is difficult to stop my admiration." ”
Gu Lingyun touched his nose and gave the porridge in his hand to an elderly homeless person who passed by, but the homeless old man didn't expect it, so he hurriedly took it gratefully and thanked him many times.
When the old man left, Xiao Lin was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
"They need it more. ”
"We're beggars too. Xiao Lin pretended to be at a loss, planning to get another one, and when he thought that he could have intimate contact with the little fairy, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
It seemed that just a glance, Xiao Lin was fascinated by the little girl.
Gu Lingyun naturally understood his intentions, and pulled him with a helpless smile: "I didn't expect you to be a color embryo, according to the market price of Jokhang, a roast chicken is only about 20 yuan, a plate of peanuts and 3 yuan, three steamed buns and a can of porridge, and it is only 4 yuan. There is a clear record, butter is light yellow when condensed, the color is like gold, presumably when you eat more than a plate of fennel fried meat, green vegetable soup, a roast chicken, a plate of stewed beef, it is only about 100 Wen, even if the market price is inflated, it will not be too outrageous, you should have more than 800 Wen in your pocket now. ”
That Xiao Lin seemed to see a ghost, and he was really guessed correctly by Gu Lingyun, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, thinking that this kid's insight was also ......
"Are you a kid of a family, why do you know more about these little things than a philistine?"
The corners of Gu Lingyun's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled helplessly, but he still couldn't stop him, Xiao Lin ran towards the girl again, obsessedly looking, unwilling to move.
"Shame on you!"
The girl also had some impressions of him, maybe she was hungry for a few days, and the amount of food was a little large, so she gave him one again, but Xiao Lin was reluctant to let go of this thing, and looked at the fairy in front of her stupidly.
The extraordinarily dressed maid on the side saw Xiao Lin's covetousness and lust, slapped him fiercely, and scolded angrily: "You are a beggar, you don't look at your own appearance, you dare to be rude to my young lady!"
Xiao Lin hurriedly retracted his dirty hands and explained with a smile: "The girl is more beautiful than Xian'e, but the kid is Meng Lang." ”
Wen crepe came up with a sentence from his mind, and when he saw the guards on both sides approaching, he picked up the porridge and left.
When she came to Gu Lingyun's side, although her face was dark, she had an endless aftertaste, just now she touched her Qianqianyu hand, the white skin that could be broken by blowing was crystal clear, and the snow-white fingers introduced into reverie.
"Do you want to be shameless?" Gu Lingyun asked in disgust.
"It's not a slender's thing, a gentleman is begging. Xiao Lin was extremely obscene, his eyes couldn't help rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Eh, I can't be hallucinating. ”
He bit his lip hard, and a pain pulled him back to reality, obviously not false, it was indeed true in front of him, and he was immediately happy, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
The wonderful girl who gave porridge picked up a bowl of porridge and walked towards them slowly, with light steps, unparalleled, stunning for a while, a silk dress as white as snow, and the holy flaws were beautiful.
The tip of the nose is slightly straight, the facial features are flawless, and there is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, which is even more wonderful.
Xiao Lin shook Gu Lingyun, still a little incredulous, and said tremblingly: "The emperor lives up to his wishes, boy, we are lucky." ”
It's just that the next scene broke his heart, although his little fairy who fell in love at first sight walked over, she only looked at Gu Lingyun's thin body.
The girl's red lips opened lightly and asked Gu Lingyun: "Little brother, aren't you hungry?"
Presumably thinking that Gu Lingyun was short and thin, he couldn't squeeze those wolf-like homeless people, and the girl's face couldn't bear it.
After carefully measuring it for a moment, she realized that the young man in front of her had an indescribable strange aura.
Gu Lingyun was slightly surprised, then shook his head and said, "I just ate a steamed bun earlier, so let's give them to those who need them." ”
The girl naturally saw Gu Lingyun's extraordinary, and it was not something that ordinary children could know about having such a mind at such an age.
Although the other young man's eyes were a little dishonest, there was no malice, and then he looked at it, and the heroic spirit between the young man's eyebrows was difficult to hide, I am afraid that it was a child who fell into trouble.
glanced at the maid next to her, and the maid reluctantly took off a brocade bag from her waist, and the girl took it and gave it to Gu Lingyun.
"There's some silver here, so I'm going to take it. ”
For a while, Gu Lingyun was impressed, and he was really a bodhisattva.
My heart is hot, and I can't help but sigh that there are still good people in this world, such as girls, and swordsmen.
Before Xiao Lin could speak, he hurriedly excused himself, and the appearance of treating money as dung was extremely deceptive, and he said solemnly: "We have received the kindness of the fairy sister, but we must not accept this silver, my parents have taught diligently, you can't accept it for nothing, my two brothers, I can't accept it!"
Gu Lingyun was stunned, but he felt Xiao Lin quietly pulling, and he didn't know what he was doing, but he was also grateful.
The maid couldn't look at it, glared at Xiao Lin fiercely, and said angrily: "Then why did you receive the porridge twice just now?"
At this time, Xiao Lin was like a playful possession, the tears that were squeezed out at some point were dripping in his eyes, his body trembled slightly, he choked and wiped a handful of tears and said:
"The girl doesn't know, it doesn't matter if I'm hungry, but the younger brother is only twelve years old, as the elder brother, but he can't protect him, but takes him to sleep in the open and lives on the streets, which can be described as a great crime, what kind of face is a brother, what qualifications are ...... be people"
The speaker was moving, the listener was sad, and even the maid felt guilty for a while, thinking that he had looked down on this young man, and he would inevitably feel embarrassed.
When the girl heard this, she was also quite moved, she couldn't help the pear blossoms with rain, and then looked at the two teenagers carefully, the younger ones were weak, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they were very desolate.
The longer ones are even more crying, unkempt, with broken hands and foot sores, and they are pitiful.
"What about your parents?"
It seemed to know that the little girl would ask this, Xiao Lin had already thought of the wording: "We were originally from Jiangnan Province, but the tyrannosaurus was troubled, the flood was rampant, and we fled to Yunyang, and unfortunately separated from our parents, and now only my two brothers are left in Tianfeng, I don't know where Yunyang is, and I don't know how to find my parents." ”
The words are bleak and blurry, and the tone is sincere.
Gu Lingyun also guessed his intentions, although it was not good to deceive people, he still nodded consciously and timidly.
This girl is either rich or expensive, listening to her accent, it seems to be a Kyoto person, and she has a swordsman to protect her, so she must have some origins.
Now that Suyang only sees people coming out, no people entering, if the speculation is good, this girl and her party are also going east.
Sure enough, as the two thought, the girl smiled and comforted when she heard this: "Your parents should have gone to Yunyang with the homeless people, and we are also going to pass through the cold water pass, so you might as well follow us for the time being and go to Yunyang to find your parents to reunite." ”
The cold water breaks the southeast, the world is extremely dangerous and the cold water pass, after thinking about it, I know that the two teenagers are more difficult to cross the cold water pass than to ascend to the sky, and now they are also taking advantage of the trend, and they can be regarded as being able to help.
The maid felt that something was wrong, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, but the master has instructed too little to deal with people who trace the sun......"
The girl smiled, and with her mind, she raised her hand to stop the maid from talking.
Gu Lingyun and Xiao Lin saluted gratefully, sincerely fearful, suppressed the excitement in their hearts and said in unison: "Thank you girl for not being too poor and helping the two of us, this kindness will never be forgotten." ”
The girl hurriedly picked up the two of them, and ordered them to be taken back to the inn to take care of them, and then turned around and left, distributing food to the victims.
