Chapter 182: Down-and-Out Old Woman
Bang Bang Bang!
Bang Bang Bang!
Hearing the applause behind him, Gu Beichuan turned around and saw Xiang Zhirou's eyes shining, like a star.
Under the other party's admiring and even slightly admiring gaze, Gu Beichuan was defeated and changed the topic: "What does Miss Xiang think of this poem?" ”
"Nature is excellent."
"This matter is not like "Huainan Autumn Gift" to find another way, but to write the vigor of spring and the recovery of all things."
"But even throughout the ages, there are countless poems written about spring."
"Gu everyone's article can also be called one of the best."
"I just don't know, what is the name of this poem?"
"It's called "Huainan Spring: Gift Cloud", how about it?"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhirou's eyes, which were already as bright as stars, shone even more, her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head, and said in a shy: "Very good." ”
Seeing the girl's appearance like this, Gu Beichuan also smiled at the corner of his mouth, and inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the weeping willows on the shore again, and said: "There is a girl with me today, and she is full of poetry, so I will make another song." ”
"Jasper is made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down."
"I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors."
Boom, this poem is complete, coinciding with the spring breeze on both sides of the Huai River.
The branches of the weeping willows were blown high.
Or fall on the surface of the water, setting off a little ripple.
Or floating in the air, like a vigorous green dragon.
Or fall to the ground and caress Mother Earth's face.
Xiang Zhirou in the cabin couldn't help but stick her head out of the window when she heard this, and her eyes reflected the so-called ten thousand hanging green silks.
"Everyone, what is the name of this poem?"
"Singing Willows"
"Yongliu, Yongliu." The girl's eyes were shining, and she muttered to herself: "Huainan Liu, it's really a must." ”
On the Huai River, an old man is boating.
On the boat, a man and a woman.
The man was dressed in a moon-white robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his temperament was outstanding.
The woman was dressed in an aqua blue silk robe, gentle as water, and her face was pretty.
It's really a talented woman, and it's good.
……
At the same time, two seemingly ordinary old men came to Fuyang County.
Wei Qing looked at the Fuyang City Gate, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Your Majesty...... Master, we have arrived in Fuyang, and I am afraid that it will not take a few days to reach Huainan. ”
In this group, in addition to these two old men, most of them were fierce and vicious, armor-clad guards.
It can be seen that his identity is not simple.
The person at the head, although he is ordinary, is like an old farmer in the field, but looking at the respectful demeanor of everyone around him, he can know that he is not ordinary.
"Well, then speed up the pace and rest when you get to Huainan."
"Master, I have heard that there are many Huainan delicacies, some of which are famous, such as Huainan roast duck and Huainan hot pot, and even spread to Qiandu."
"It's a pity that the chefs in Qiandu can't make that kind of taste, it's not authentic."
"Now that we're in Huainan, I'm afraid we're blessed." One of the guards said when he heard this.
"It's easy to say, it's hard for you to guard all the way, and you will eat with your belly open at that time, and the lord will not be short of the cost of this meal."
"I also heard that the houses in Huainan are all built of bricks and tiles, warm in winter and cool in summer, and very strong."
"If we can use this kind of technology to build the city wall, I'm afraid it will be easier for us to defend the city." Another guard said.
The old man nodded again, and said, "Then you will definitely have to observe it for a long time, and if it is really useful, you will find someone to find this way to build a house and send it to the north." ”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
Although I was tired and hungry, I was in good spirits.
After all, as long as you arrive in Huainan, you will have good food and warm houses.
In contrast, the tiring journey at this time is not unbearable.
Three days later, there was a spring rain.
The group was really sleepy and tired.
Wei Qing looked around, frowned, and said, "It stands to reason that this place should have entered the Huainan realm, how can it be so desolate?" ”
"Hi, Wei Cheng...... The old man really doesn't know the suffering of the world, Huainan is a county after all, especially wide, naturally it is impossible to be prosperous everywhere, and it is normal to be a little dilapidated. ”
When the leader heard this, he also nodded, and said: "Prosperous as Qiandu, there are still dilapidated and dirty places, let alone Huainanhu?" ”
Hearing this, Wei Qing nodded, and said with a wry smile: "It's that I'm obsessed, it's not like we're sleepy now, it's imperative to find a local farmer, ask for some hot meals, rest overnight, and go to the bustling place in the center of the city tomorrow." ”
"That's true."
"Even if this place is remote, it shouldn't be uninhabited, I'll look for it later."
It was a long time, and the group walked for several miles, until the sun set and night fell, and they saw a fire rising not far away, and the smoke curling from the cooking.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In such a remote place, if you can't find someone, you can only spend the night outside, if you meet some jackals, tigers and leopards...
The guards were fine in their heyday, but now they are sleepy and tired, and they are afraid that something will go wrong.
The group immediately walked towards the wisp of smoke.
When viewed from a distance, you can only get a rough idea. When you walk in, you can see the whole house.
It is not that everyone expects a sturdy and stable brick house that is warm in winter and cool in summer.
It's a dilapidated thatched house.
Seeing this scene, everyone frowned.
Especially Wei Qing, to be honest, he is also from a poor family, and it is not a big problem to live in such a house.
But how can a saint with a thousand golden bodies suffer such humiliation?
It seemed that he had seen through their thoughts, and the head of the old man Xiang smiled and said: "The old man's body is not so delicate, take some silver money, give it to them, and sleep here today." ”
Master Xiang spoke, don't dare to disobey. Wei Qing immediately took action and stepped forward to knock on the door.
However, to everyone's surprise, they didn't knock on the door, but knocked out the cooking smoke.
Seeing this, a guard was furious and said, "Don't you want to receive us?" Master Wei stepped back, I'll knock and see! ”
It's just a thatched house, and its gateway is just a wooden door in disrepair. The guards are strong and strong, and they are capable of breaking through the door.
The man in the door seemed to hear the shouts of the guards, and in an instant, the creaking wooden door burst open.
A figure leaned out of it, and when everyone saw this, they all looked at it.
I saw that the person who came was rickety, his legs and feet were slow, and he even walked with a limp.
His face is wrinkled, and his body is skinny, as if he is about to fall down when the wind blows.
This...... Why are you so downcast?
For a moment, everyone thought of it in unison.
The next moment, the down-and-out old woman raised her head, and when she saw the burly guards, she panicked and was sincerely afraid, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the old woman knows that it is time to hand over the grain, but there is really no surplus food at home, can you give it a few days?" ”
