Chapter 8: The Story of a Small Town
Early the next morning, before the morning sun was stretched, Shen Tujia Lao'er was invited to the county government 'vigorously'. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The small courtyard where they lived was only separated by a wall from the county government, but in just a few steps, it was noisy for a whole morning.
Almost every two or three steps are tossed for half a day, and the tedious and rough etiquette process can be described as eye-opening.
When you go out, you have to burn incense, the men dance, the children sing, and even the county lord, who looks fierce, also 'quacks' at the top of his throat for a long time.
Wild Thirteen stood at the door and watched quietly, Xue Linlang was also full of joy to come out to watch the excitement, but he was stuffed back.
He was actually a little sour in his heart, and suddenly remembered the mountain god sacrifice at the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain, originally he thought it was already very tasteful, but as soon as he walked out of the mountain, he was slapped by reality.
He has guarded the tens of thousands of mountain people under the Great Wilderness Mountain! What did the old man Shen Tujia do? In comparison, he felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
At this time, in the hall of the county government, Shen Tujia sat on the top and stroked the white beard under his chin, and the county magistrate of Shanyin County sat next to him with the squires and elders.
After some pleasantries, the hall was a little silent, and a group of servants rushed in, and the tables were full of delicacies.
All kinds of delicacies pay attention to the word 'full', to put it simply, that is, the pot should be big, the meat should be more, and the scene should be generous.
It can be seen that this is already the best banquet that Shanyin County can prepare, but who is Shen Tujia?
Even in the rich world of Middle-earth, Shen Tujia is also a wise man of the prestige generation, what scene has he never seen? This banquet is just a 'full' word in his eyes.
That's it...... The poor country in the far north is still a small border town, and the requirements cannot be too harsh. Besides, after a morning of tossing, he was also a little hungry in his belly.
So Shen Tu Jia coughed, but ...... The gentlemen of Shanyin County present did not have the slightest awareness, but just stared at him with unconcealed eagerness in their eyes.
Shen Tujia only pondered for a moment before guessing the thoughts of these people.
That's it...... The poor country in the far north is still a small border town, and it is inevitable that human nature will be stunned.
"Lord Prefectural. Shen Tujia bowed, "The old man is just a wanderer, without merit and virtue, and when he first arrived in your place yesterday, he was treated with such courtesy, what a shame!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. The county gentleman hurriedly supported Shen Tujia, "The distinguished guests of Middle Earth have come to the county, and this blessing for us is to dare to be a little neglectful." ”
"Just ......"
"Lord County, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it......"
After listening to Shen Tujia's answer, the county magistrate of Shanyin County immediately showed a faint look of sorrow, and even the gentlemen of Shanyin County who sat with him were worried.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Shentu, my Shanyin County is a poor place on the border, thousands of miles of red land, and the people's livelihood is withered. ”
"The wisdom of the people has just opened, the people have been educated, but God is jealous of the talents, after the death of Wenqu Gong, there is no light of civilization to shine on the people of the snow country. Woohoo lament......"
"Especially in my poor and cold land, the yield of barley wheat per mu is less than one stone, and the people of Shanyin are not hungry, and they are suffering. ”
Speaking of this, except for Shen Tujia in the hall, everyone wiped their tears and wailed in a low voice.
It stands to reason that Shen Tujia should also follow the wail a few times and squeeze out a few drops of cat urine, but looking at the pretentious posture of a large group of men with tigers and bears sobbing in a low voice, he really has no mood to act.
"I heard that there are ten ears of barley noodles in Middle-earth, but is there really such a thing?"
Shen Tujia shook his head, "The people of Middle-earth don't eat barley. ”
“......”
However, the old man has several ways to increase the yield of barley wheat. ”
Not long after, Shen Tujia asked someone to bring a basin of clean water and poured a handful of barley wheat into the water, some of the wheat grains floated, and some of the wheat grains sank to the bottom.
"This is the method of seed selection, the floating one is flattened, the sinking one is full, you can take the sinking barley wheat grains, think that the good seed, the yield will be increased. ”
The onlookers beside the basin gasped, their eyes were full of solemnity and longing, and after looking at each other, they nodded slowly, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Alas.... Sluggish... If you are sluggish, Mr. Shentu must have been hungry for a long time, so please come to the table quickly. ”
Not to mention the absurd banquet in the county office, at this time, Wild Thirteen and Xue Linlang were sitting quietly in the small courtyard in a daze, because of the lingering hunger, Wild Thirteen has never liked to be active, Xue Linlang was tired of jumping by herself, so she sat down next to Wild Thirteen.
At this time, the sun has climbed up to the middle of the sky, "Thirteenth brother." Xue Linlang said timidly, "Linlang wants to go out and have a look, it's too boring to stay in the yard." ”
Looking at Xue Linlang's excitement, Wild Thirteen was a little dissatisfied, and he thought that he should stay in peace when he had nothing to do, and try his best to save his physical strength for the next hunt.
Have you ever seen a barren mountain beast run around without anything? The restless ones have already become fertilizer in the great barren mountains.
Xue Linlang saw the dissatisfaction of the Thirteen Wastes, shrunk her neck timidly, pouted her mouth, her pretty eyes were slightly red, and she moved her gaze to her feet.
Wild Thirteen never thought that one day, he would succumb to other people's emotions and violate his rules of survival in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and his heart was bitter and sweet, and in the end, it was a little difficult to suppress.
"You can ...... when you go out"
"Really?...... Thirteenth Brother" Xue Linlang jumped up happily, suddenly realizing her gaffe, and then timidly hid behind the pillar.
"But..."Arazo pointed to Xue Linlang's beautiful, but a little too thin silk clothes, "You have to wear thicker!"
is idle and wanders around, in the great barren mountains it already belongs to the rhythm of death, and you can't help but know how to disguise!
If it were possible, Arazo would also like to paint a sallow face for Xue Linlang, she is so beautiful, more dazzling than the stars in the sky.
But this is not an advantage for the Wild Thirteen. If it weren't for the fact that the stars were so far away, he would have been the first to pluck the shiny thing.
"Thirteenth brother, I am sick, and I have been afraid of cold and heat since I was a child......"
Arazo returned to his room and took out a mink coat without a trace of variegation, this was the best mink coat he had collected over the years, reflecting a crystal light in the sun, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance.
At the beginning, the ferret was also because it was too beautiful, so it was skinned and collected by the Wild Thirteen, and this time when he went down the mountain, he brought this mink coat with him.
Maybe he subconsciously thought that this mink coat was meant to be given to someone, but it came a little too quickly.
Arazo put the coat on Xue Linlang's body, buttoned the hat of the coat, and finally almost covered Xue Linlang's face, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Thirteen, I'm ...... hot"
Not long after putting on the coat, Xue Linlang's pretty face became red, the smooth forehead was deep in the fragrant sweat, and the delicate red lips dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The glorious little lady was about to lose her luster in an instant.
Huang Thirteen didn't dare to be careless, and quickly took his back teeth, stuffed one end of the back teeth into Xue Linlang's hand, and bursts of chill surged from the back teeth into Xue Linlang's body.
"Is this better?" asked Arajusan eagerly.
In an instant, Xue Linlang calmed down, and the intoxicating light bloomed again.
"Hmm......" Xue Linlang nodded happily, and looked up at the desolate thirteen in front of her with her little head, "Brother Thirteen's stick is so good, it makes Linlang so comfortable!"
Huang Thirteen looked at the pretty face close at hand, his eyes suddenly became a little sluggish, and he stretched out his finger blankly and lightly touched Xue Linlang's forehead, slightly afraid of hurting the other party in the slightest.
Then he retracted like an electric shock, and his performance was a little more timid than Zhi Xue Linlang.
"It's not a stick, it's my back teeth!"
Then Wild Thirteen grabbed the other end of the back tooth and led Xue Linlang out of the small courtyard. A tall giant who came out of the wilderness, a petite and delicate little lady, such two figures, one big and one small, walked into the sunlight of Shanyin County.
Although San'in County is a small border town in the land of snow, it is much more lively than the town at the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain.
The dazzling variety of goods and objects in the small shops along the street, as well as the costumes of the pedestrians on the street, make Ara 13 look very novel.
It's not like the women in the town who only stick bird feathers in their heads!
Xue Linlang is different, she comes from the rich world of Middle-earth, and she has followed Shen Tujia to read the prosperity of the world since she was a child, but the vulgar scenery of this Shanyin City makes her look very novel.
So although the two are different, they are both very happy.
The small courtyard where they lived was in the middle of San'in City, so this place was the most lively, and it didn't take long to come to the wide square in the center of San'in City.
It is said that every city in the Land of Snow has a wide central square, in which the great achievements of the late Prime Minister Wen Qugong are recorded.
Just walked into the square, there are huge stone monuments standing in front of you, the top is carved with the four big characters of "Tiangong Kaiwu", and below is a stone tablet mural.
On closer inspection, the murals originally depicted the techniques of a hundred crafts.
There is the art of farming, the method of building houses, the method of building a hundred tools, and even the method of ore metallurgy......
The hundred crafts are engraved on the stone tablet and used to educate the people, which is the initiative of the Prime Minister Wenqu Gong.
Xue Linlang looked at the stone tablet with curiosity, and told the content of these carvings to the Wild Thirteen, with relish.
Wild Thirteen looked at Xue Linlang who was talking eloquently in front of him, and suddenly felt a little inferiority complex in his heart. What Xue Linlang easily understood, he didn't understand.
In the past, when he encountered such a situation, he would only show his anger and wonder how to smash the other party's head with his back teeth, but in front of Xue Linlang, he felt a trace of inferiority.
Finally finished reading all the stone tablet carvings, Xue Linlang bit her lip and showed some doubts.
"These techniques have been in time for countless years in Middle-earth, but why ......?"
"I heard that Wenqu Gong came to the Snow Country a hundred years ago, and it stands to reason that he should have mastered a more advanced civilization, how could he ......?"
Hearing Xue Linlang casually attack Wenqu Gong, who existed like a god in the Snow Country, Arazo felt a little inexplicable pride in his heart.
Passing over the stone monuments around the square, you will come to the center of the square, and you will be greeted by a huge ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture is light blue, and the sculpture is an old man with a thin body and narrow eyes, which makes people feel a little mean, and his appearance is not as good as that of Shen Tujia's old man.
This is the late Prime Minister Wen Qugong, when they met for the first time, there was a faint disappointment in the heart of the Wild Thirteen.
The ice sculpture is taken from the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain, which is a long day pond with 10,000 years of ice, although the temperature in the country of snow in the extreme north is not high all year round, but this light blue ice can not melt all year round, which is amazing.
Huang 13 and Xue Linlang came to the huge ice sculpture together, and he had a strange feeling, feeling that this 10,000-year-old Xuan Bing carved an ugly old man, which was very worthless.
There was an urge to smash it with my back teeth.
Xue Linlang stood aside, this cold breath made her feel very comfortable, and Miaomu was a little trance-like. She was sick and loved the cold and heat since she was a child.
Grandpa Shen Tujia said that the heart of the 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice from the Long Day Pool could cure her illness.
And the heart of the 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice is hidden in the capital of the Snow Country, in the fantastic palace built with Xuan Bing.
So she followed her grandfather thousands of miles to this country in the far north.
