Chapter 80: Bamboo Sea

Nanhai and his party were not very pleasant, it was the first month of the year, and after Li Yan said goodbye to the Qing Dynasty, she went home with Xiao Chonghua.

The sound of firecrackers in the old year, the swallow hill in the first month, although the weather is very cold, after leaving the coast of the South China Sea, all the way to the place of going back, the weather is more and more harsh, there is also goose feather snow in the middle, the snow is abundant, the people in the grassland are hiding in the tent for the winter, few people come out.

The time of the return trip, compared to when I came, was always a little less anxious, and I was not in a hurry, so I rode slowly and leisurely on the grassland, even if it was cold and windy. It's not funny.

At dusk, Xiao Chonghua passed through a place on Li Yan's road, and it was the fifteenth year of Shangyuan at that time. "If the color is like Wodan, bright as the bright glow", the red sand stone paves the long road path, the green bamboo on both sides reflect each other, like a long corridor, the green wave is not visible, the wind blows the bamboo forest, like the waves of the sea undulating.

"Eight hundred miles of bamboo sea?" Li Yan asked as he stroked a bamboo, the green bamboo was mottled, and it seemed to be some years. She vaguely remembered that the eight hundred miles of bamboo sea in Yanqiu stretched to Jingyue Lake, but because she saw the peach forest first, she lingered and forgot to return, and she didn't know the way back, so she didn't think of this stubble again.

If you see the 800 miles of bamboo sea in Yannan, I am afraid that I will also learn from a master in the previous dynasty, build a bamboo house with my own hands, with the breeze and the moon as a companion, and the bamboo forest as a wife.

Xiao Chonghua nodded, he had been to Zhuhai. The most famous place in Yannan is in Jingyue Lake, a peach forest, and a bamboo forest. Ten miles of peach forests are full of scorching flowers, eight hundred miles of bamboo forests are rare in the world, and this place is not subject to climate change, which is the case all year round, and many people have come to visit. "Jingyue Lake is close to Jiuli Garden, so there are few people living in the peach forest, but the Zhuhai place is said to be eight hundred miles, in fact, it is more extensive, many hermits will come here to live all year round, the green bamboo town in the Zhuhai Sea, such as the painting in the south of the Yangtze River, you must like it." ”

The bamboo forest covers a vast area, and some places are not suitable for living, but the climate in some places is very similar to that of the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that the mountain temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is a good place to raise people, in fact, the green bamboo forest is also the same, and it is more than that.

Xiao Chonghua had also been to this place in previous years, when it was summer, the summer wood was cloudy and very cool, if it wasn't for the busy affairs in the army, he would want to stay here to escape the summer. Lanling is located in the south of the Yangtze River, she was born in the place where the smoke willow painted the bridge since she was a child, and she should also like it here.

"The peach forest of Strange Jingyue Lake was blinded, and he almost missed this great bamboo forest. Li Yan was a little annoyed, and seemed to hear Xiao Chonghua's words, "According to your words, the bamboo forest where I live now, the original owner was you who asked him to move away?"

Xiao Chonghua didn't overdo it, a little embarrassed, and indirectly acquiesced to Li Yan's words, and said: "I am in charge of most of Fengjing's troops, and I am guarding Yannan, and I am not allowed to approach for hundreds of miles. "Part of the reason is indeed this, and most of the reason is that he doesn't like to be surrounded by other people, Jiuli Garden is served by old people, naturally he knows his master's quirks, so after deciding to settle on this side of Jingyue Lake many years ago, the people around him have moved away.

Li Yan chuckled and teased: "What is the major military aircraft, I guess it must be you nitpicking." I said that the huge Jingyue Lake, perennial flowers, how can there be no family, it was not allowed, it turned out to be like this, but the bamboo forest here is even with my mind, and it is not impossible to move a nest. ”

"No, I don't like you living by the lake. Knowing that this girl was joking, Xiao Chonghua still said his thoughts, saw her smile, stroked every bamboo, and said, "If you like it, we can settle here." ”

"Don't want your military affairs?" King Zhao is also in danger of the Great Qin Frontier, if there is no King Zhao, she can't think of anyone else who can be qualified to guard Yannan, the people of Yannan are simple, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one can bear to burn this land again.

"Ten years ago, Xiao Heng repaid the kindness of his parents and the blessing of his family, and for the rest of his life, he wanted to find a place to ignore the world and live in seclusion for the rest of his life. There is no King Zhao in the world, there is only one Xiao Heng. "Ten years of battlefield, stained with blood, is enough to repay the glory and wealth of these years.

"If you are not King Zhao anymore, are you still Xiao Heng?" Xiao Heng, King of Zhao, is a real gentleman, who protects the common people with his sword, and can make Rong Di dare not go south with his body, and is the god in the hearts of the people of Yannan. If he is gone, where will Yan Nan go, Daqin has broken a hole, and how will he come to be prosperous. "If that's the case, I'll look down on you, Chonghua. ”

Abandoning the people of Li with personal feelings, she will look down on him like this. "The person I am pleased with must be worthy of the world and live up to the world. ”

The wind blew in the forest, the bamboo leaves fell, and she stood under the green bamboo, quietly watching Xiao Chonghua.

Xiao Chonghua felt that at this moment, he actually poked the center for a while, he subconsciously resisted, he held her hand, and said: "Young, I can guard the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of Daqin, I can worry about the happiness of the people, and I can pay my life for this, but if one day, when you choose one with the wisdom of the world, only you can't let go." "No amount of the world, no righteousness, can be a reason for him to give up on her. "I want nothing in my life, I only want you, and I can't give up even if I die. ”

He said it so decisively that Li Yan was shocked, she thought that such a Xiao Chonghua moved her and made her a little heavier, she may not be able to repay his affection. The word love, you can want to live, you can want to die, she is really afraid.

"Girl, you just get married, this priceless treasure is rare to have a lover. In the lush bamboo forest, a white-haired woman came out, she carried a bamboo building on her back, wearing a water-green dress, but her face was like a woman in her twenties, looking at them with a smile.

Li Yan was still free and easy, but when she found someone at this time, her face was as hot as fire, and she couldn't wait to bury herself in the ground.

"Young man, this girl is not bad, she looks good, you have a good eye. The woman looked at the young man on the path again, her demeanor was outstanding, and she was only dressed in a dark robe that added a lot of seriousness, she was a rare beauty, and saw Li Yan's face crimson, and said with a smile: "Little girl, such a beauty, it is enough for you." My Fair Lady, gentleman, don't be shy. ”

Xiao Chonghua bowed and said, "Don't make fun of her, she is thin-skinned, it's time to annoy me." ”

"Hahaha, today is the Shangyuan Festival, in the night of our town, there is a lantern festival, Xixi Lake and river lanterns, the little girl wants to come and take a look? The woman was very enthusiastic, there were few outsiders in their Qingzhu Town, and when she saw this pair of talented women, she proposed.

"But it's disrespectful, thank you. Li Yan thanked her, she was a little unsure of the woman's age, she had snow-white hair, but her face was like a peach blossom, and she was very good-looking, so she thought about it for a moment when she spoke.

The man looked at the sky and said: "It's still early, go to my house and sit down, taste the bamboo banquet of the bamboo sea, so that this trip is not in vain, I will take you for a few years, you call me Sister Xu." ”

The two introduced each other, Li Yan walked with Xu, and Xiao Chonghua followed behind them.

"Sister Xu, do you live in Qingzhu Town?" Li Yan looked at the things in her bamboo basket, which were winter bamboo shoots, and guessed that she should be from Qingzhen.

"Not in the early years, but later moved here with my husband. Qingzhu Town is very good, with a clear breeze, bamboo forest, and no red dust. When Xu talked about Qingzhu Town, there was a smile on his face, "But you little girls, you all like Fengjing, I'm afraid you can only see it as a view." ”

"Sister Xu, this is a partial generalization, I live in Jingyue Lake, the capital is prosperous, singing and dancing, but it is not as quiet as here. Li Yan liked this white-haired sister a little, and said with a smile, at this time, there was a lot of fine snow in the sky, and she reached out to catch it, "Chonghua, it's snowing." ”

"Well, it's snowing. "It's still noon in the snow of the Shangyuan Festival, and the entire bamboo forest can be covered with snow in the evening.

"Lang is a concubine, a natural pair, and he is really envious. Xu smiled at the pair of lovers, and only replied to Li Yan's words after joking, "In the early years, I lived there with my husband, accompanied by peach blossoms, and fishing, and lived a very comfortable life, but later Yanqiu came to King Zhao, and we moved to Qingzhu Forest." ”

Xiao Chonghua and Li Yan looked at each other and smiled. The culprit is here, and they all subconsciously avoid this issue. Seeing Xu's words change again, he said: "I was a little depressed at first, but I think that Yanqiu has relied on King Zhao for many years, plus Qingzhu, Lin's life is also good, so it doesn't matter." ”

While they were talking, they had already arrived in Qingzhu Town. There is a huge rock outside the entrance of the town, and it falls: a green bamboo forest. This is a courtyard rich in Jiangnan flavor, stacked stone sparse ponds, pavilions and small buildings, winding paths are secluded, walking on the path on both sides is the green bamboo that reflects the snow in the wind.

"Young. He called her suddenly, Li Yan turned around, looking puzzled, but saw him raise his sleeve to brush the fine snow from her hair, and then said, "It's okay, go in." ”

"Chu Yu, guests are here, don't be upside down. Xu stared at the two of them with a smile and a word, and then shouted into the room, his voice was loud, and he didn't have the slightest hint of gentleness when he spoke to them.

After a while, a white-clothed gentleman came over, looked at the two in front of him without traces, nodded frequently, and a smile crawled all over his face, "Rare guest, rare guest, Qingzhu Forest has never had any guests, you came by coincidence, today is the Shangyuan Festival, in the Song Dynasty Chuyu." ”

Li Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. is polite, we are disturbing." ”

"The little girl has such a sweet mouth, and she is a good girl. Song Chuyu beckoned them into the house, and only then did he see chess pieces on the table, and the black and white characters were glued together, and the winner was inseparable.

"I'll cook for you, Chu Yu, you entertain the guests, don't get fascinated again." Xu put down the basket and prepared to cook himself, Li Yan volunteered to help in the back kitchen, and Xiao Chonghua was dragged to play chess.

For a while, the man was busy with the chessboard like a battlefield, and the woman began to cook today's dinner in the back kitchen.
