Chaos Chapter 135 The Bitter Spring
Even if he slowed down for a long time, Sima Liang's complexion was still not very good.
Especially the slightly white lips, which made him look a little sickly.
"It's so torturous, I'm afraid I'll be out of energy for a few days." Sima Liang walked down the street, muttering to himself.
Xu Wu on the side was very envious of Sima Liang's troubles.
He lived next door last night, and he heard the words of tigers and wolves.
The maid is too powerful.
It's such a flowery play.
I've never heard of a lot of them.
And seeing that the prince only went out in the afternoon, I am afraid that he will not wake up and fly a few times.
It's nice to be young.
After a few years of pure heart, the last time I went to Wenqing Building, Xu Wu was not as excited as he was at the beginning.
He knew that there were some things that would be difficult to come back after he was old.
Shangguan Xun on the side didn't understand what Sima Liang meant.
All he knew was that the princess had sent a maid to serve her. I don't know much about it. And for private matters, he is actually not as rough as he seems, but worse than some novices.
"Is the prince insomnia? There are sleeping pills here, do you need to divide them? Shangguan Xun spoke.
Xu Wu glanced at him strangely, and then looked at Sima Liang again.
"Well, I'm not the problem, forget it, I don't need it. Thank you for your kindness. ”
Sima Liang touched his nose in embarrassment. After all, some things are really hard to say.
"That's right. It's the villain who has a lot of mouths. Seeing that he had guessed wrong, Shangguan Xun scratched his scalp.
"It doesn't matter."
After experiencing an embarrassing topic, the next journey, several men, did not say a word.
Come to the west of the fishing village and follow the road to the north.
Sima Liang and his entourage met more and more people.
It seems that there are quite a few people who are ahead of them.
After walking a stone-paved road, Sima Liang stopped.
Looking at the moss-covered stone steps, he looked up.
"It's very lively, can there be so many people on it?"
"It's big and crowded, and there's an old temple. It's not big, but it's been six or seven hundred years. ”
"A temple older than the Kingdom of Li? We'll have to see. Sima Liang was interested and stepped up the steps.
Walking to the steps, Sima Liang's doubts were solved.
From the bottom up, this hill is not very big on the top.
But in fact, the place where the temple and the people are located is not on the top of the mountain.
It's in the mountains.
The whole mountain is shaped like a stove and is recessed.
The lowest place is about the same height as the stone road when Sima Liang came.
"There's a lake in the middle?"
"Lord Wang, this is the clear spring of Qingquan Bay. It's not obvious from afar, but you'll be able to see it when you're close. ”
"It turns out that Qingquan Bay really has a clear spring. I thought it was just a name. Sima Liang suddenly realized.
He had some doubts about the place name of Qingquan Bay before. But I haven't asked, this time it's a puzzle.
Xu Wu nodded.
He pointed to the clear spring and the temple, and then to the fishing village in the distance.
"Qingquan, Qingquan Temple, Qingquan Village. Since the ancestors of the country settled here, it was called like this. As for Qingquan Bay, it was established as an official name in recent decades after it was promoted to a county. ”
Seeing the fishing village that had long been free of fishing, Sima Liang was a little embarrassed.
"Although there are no vicissitudes of life, it has gone through a lot of years. I don't know if the ancestors who came first or not are there. ”
"Estimates are few. There are many stories here, and most of the ancestors went overseas. Some of them went north to other fishing villages after the fishing and hunting slump. Shangguan replied quickly.
Hearing this, Sima Liang thought of Yancheng.
It's a bit similar to the situation in Yancheng.
It's a bit bleak, but there's no way around it.
……
Sima Liang was distracted for a moment. Then follow the flow of people and continue to move forward.
The further down he went, the warmer he felt. After walking to the bottom, he took off his cloak directly.
"It's so cold outside, but it's warm here."
"This Wang Qingquan is very magical, warm in winter and cool in summer. That's why a temple was built next to it. It is said to have the effect of dispelling diseases and warding off evil spirits, so you can try it. Xu Wu replied.
Sima Liang leaned to the lake and saw several gushing points.
Walking to the nearest place, he drew some water from the spring.
There was no imagined sweetness, and a bitter taste reached the tip of Sima Liang's tongue.
It didn't taste good, but he didn't want to spit it out in a faux pas.
Swallowing the spring water, Sima Liang looked at the people around him who were almost all dressed in fancy clothes.
A feeling of desolation, rising from the bottom of my heart.
"Things are not people. Perhaps this Wang Qingquan was sweet in the past. But it can only get more and more bitter in the future. ”
Sima Liang is not a superstitious person.
He knew the root cause of the sourness of the spring water. It's just that there are too many people and it pollutes the groundwater. According to the trend of Qingquan Bay becoming more and more lively, this situation will only get worse.
Maybe one day, the spring water will no longer be clear. Springs will also dry up.
Maybe at that time, it will be called Qingquan Bay. But it has nothing to do with Qingquan.
It's the same as Yancheng, not Yanguo.
Time can always change a lot, but there will always be some traces.
Xu Wu on the side also tasted a sip of spring water.
"Indeed, it is much more bitter than a few years ago."
Xu Wu and Sima Liang were immersed in sadness.
Shangguan Xun is not so sentimental. When he saw the two of them talking bitterly, he also took a sip curiously. He didn't even swallow it in his mouth, and spit it out.
However, he paid attention to etiquette and threw up outside.
"This water can't be drunk, it's easy to have diarrhea." Shangguan Xun kindly reminded.
Sima Liang and Xu Wu were choked by his words. I didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two patted Shangguan Xun on the shoulder one after another, and then left.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder. We're not going to drink it. ”
"Sergeant Shangguan, thanks for the reminder."
Although Shangguan Xun didn't understand, he always felt that Sima Liang and Xu Wu had different meanings.
What's the matter, can't you say it directly?
Mother-in-law's.
Shangguan Xun read a few words in his heart. When he came back to his senses, he found that the two of them had gone away.
"Sir, wait a minute."
After the episode, the three of them began to hang out.
Indeed, as Xu Wu said, this winter festival is an ordinary temple fair. and Sima Liang in Zhongdu, what Yancheng saw was almost the same.
It may have been that he had drunk bitter spring water and wanted to eat something sweet.
Walking to a candy man stall, Sima Liang bought two sugar men.
Xu Wu looked at him eating candy man, a little surprised. Shangguan Xun on the side also had a surprised expression.
"Do you want to eat? Do I want to buy it for you? Sima Liang asked while eating.
"No need."
"Thank you for your kindness."
"Let's go, then. By the way, the third prince, didn't he say that he wanted to show me something interesting? ”
Shangguan Xun's expression changed slightly.
He touched his forehead.
"Lord Yan Wang will be able to see it in a moment. But when the time comes, don't be too surprised. ”
Originally, Sima Liang didn't care about tonight's incident. But when Shangguan Xun said this, he became interested.
"Surprised? Is it really that interesting? ”
"I won't go into the details. You know it when you see it. ”
"Then I'll see."
The sky is getting darker and the moon is slowly rising.
The Winter Day show has also officially begun.
In front of the temple for six or seven hundred years, there is a stage.
Accompanied by festive music.
The people in costumes came to the front of the stage.
Looking at the familiar scene, Sima Liang felt that the things he acted were somewhat similar to the Yancheng Temple Fair.
It may be that the remnants of Yancheng are here, so the festival here has also become like this.
I don't know what Dongfang Jin is doing, it's really annoying.
I really want to go back.
I don't know what Xiao Ye has prepared.
Thinking of the surprise that Xiaoye should inherit during the day. Sima Liang had heat surging up in his lower abdomen.
He wasn't originally a womanizer, but after growing up overnight, he was introduced to the new world.
Sima Liang inevitably eats the marrow and knows the taste, and he can't stop.
He looked at the play on the stage, and all he thought about was Xiao Ye.
Suddenly, Sima Liang's eyes widened.
The presence also remembered the sigh.
"It's so beautiful."
"Fairy?"
"What a girl?"
"Wasn't this a man dressed up in previous years?"
……
Sima Liang looked at Shangguan Xun in disbelief.
Seeing the other party's eyes dodging, he didn't dare to look in the stands. He understood.
"Good guy, the third prince can play."
"The Third Prince?" Xu Wu was stunned for a moment. Then followed Sima Liang's gaze.
"My lord, that one, this one, no."
Xu Wu had never seen the three princes, but he had heard Sima Liang mention it. Said to be a very beautiful man.
Seeing limited his imagination, and he thought it was just a more delicate man.
But the people Xu Wu sees now can be said to be unable to see the appearance of a man.
"That's right, believe what you see, that's a man."
"Ahh Xu Wu was dumbfounded.
On the stage, a "woman" wearing makeup and costumes danced.
She has a slender body and a beautiful physique.
An already beautiful appearance. With exaggerated makeup, it feels even more dusty.
With a smile and a smile, the style that flowed out touched the hearts of the men present.
Some of the women who were brought in were jealous and cursed.
This "woman" is naturally dressed by the three princes.
He originally looked like a woman, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female when he wore a costume. Not to mention that he also painted drama makeup.
Not to mention that Dongfang Jin danced quite well, and the charm of the woman was also vividly and exquisitely.
If he hadn't known that the other party was a man, Sima Liang would definitely have been amazed.
But he just knows Dongfang Jin's gender and identity. So it's a little hard to accept.
Originally, Sima Liang felt that Dongfang Jin was a little sick.
Now he feels that the other party is more than that, at least a serious illness. Even he feels that there may be something wrong with the other person's preferences.
Just thinking about it, Dongfang Jin threw a flattering glance over, and Sima Liang was instantly suffocated.
The unwitting men around him, with jealousy in his eyes.
This is a man, don't look at me.
Sima Liang couldn't say what he was suffering about.
