This is a river that meanders nine times, and the people here call it the Jiuqu River. The Jiuqu River flows rapidly through the cliffs that stand on both sides as black as iron and as sharp as swords.

As the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water. So there was a ship, a lighthouse, and a small town, Lighthouse Town.

Xuan Yifan and his entourage, after an eight-day long journey, rushed to Lighthouse Town.

The entrance to Lighthouse Town was blocked by a row of wooden fences with red cloth and writing on them, blocked by two large men with knives at their waists.

As soon as they passed, a big man spoke: "If you want to enter Lighthouse Town, both people and livestock have to pay money." ”

Xuan Yifan frowned when he heard what the big man said, and Li Shuiqing said first: "How much is that?" ”

Dahan said: "Eleven and one." ”

Li Shuiqing said: "Okay, let's dig it." ”

As soon as they took out their money, they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of horses' hooves was behind them, and before they could look back, the two big men saw that their faces changed greatly, and they immediately pulled the wooden fence to both sides in a panic.

Only then did they see the words on the red cloth hanging on the wooden fence: All the people of Lighthouse Town welcome the arrival of the three young masters.

They also stepped aside and looked back. Twelve horses galloped along the road in unison, the coachman waving his whip, and three broad wagons waving flags in the wind, and yellow smoke rolling up behind them.

Three carriages rumbled into the lighthouse, and in a few moments, the cheers of the people rang out in the lighthouse town, and even they could hear it.

They paid the money and entered Lighthouse Town. As soon as I entered the town of Lighthouse, I saw that the people here had blocked the road, and all I could see was the drivers standing on the roof of the car, holding a bag in their left hand, and taking a handful of them in their right hand. In the sun, a piece of silver glistened.

People cheered and raised their heads and raised their hands in the air. Some of them fell to the ground and caused people to loot.

During the scrambling of the people, Xuan Yifan and his party saw the three coachmen fall to the carriage window at the same time, the curtain was lowered and no one could be seen, and the coachmen looked respectful.

Then, the coachmen nodded at the same time, saluted and left, and at the same time walked towards a man. This person is a young girl, the girl has long hair, big eyes, a ruddy face, and a good figure.

When the girl saw the three of them coming, she hurriedly shrank behind a teenager. The boy puffed up his chest and pointed at them, and the coachmen spoke. The people let out a cry of surprise and looked at the girl with envy and jealousy.

The girl hiding behind the boy suddenly pushed the boy, and the boy fell to the ground.

The girl took a few steps forward and said something loudly to the coachman. The coachmen all nodded, and then their figures flashed to the windows of their carriages.

The girl looked at the three flags on the three carriages, the purple flag was written Zhao, the red flag was written Zhou, and the silver flag was written Sun. The girl looked silent.

The boy struggled to get up at this time, his face was covered with blood, he wanted to grab the girl's hand, but the girl dodged and slapped the boy in the face, and the boy fell to the ground again.

Why did she do it?

The girl saw the window of the carriage with the purple flag, and stretched out a bronze hand, which was just a hook, and the girl could not bear it any longer, and she rushed over, and before the coachman could even open the door, she jumped in through the window.

In the envious and jealous gaze of the people, the man's wild laughter immediately sounded in the carriage.

The boy stood up and roared towards the carriage. The coachman's whip flicked and hit the boy's neck. Just listening to the sound of the "horn", the boy was separated from the world forever.

Hardly anyone glanced at it, people were just staring at the carriage.

The man in the carriage was still laughing. The coachmen were already pulling their horses and driving the carriage on the sunny road. Laughter followed the carriage.

The River Lantern Treasure is now the only large ship docked in Lighthouse Town. These are the words of the treasurer of the Treasure Cabinet.

Xuan Yifan looked at the fat face of the treasurer pavilion with a confident smile, and just wanted to break his face with one punch.

They scraped together four C tickets. Now the money in their hands can only allow them to live in the cheapest two rooms and eat a small bowl of Yangchun noodles.

Night, late at night.

Now Lighthouse Town is like a pot of cold water.

The moonlight shone like water, shining on this uninhabited alley. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in this deserted alley.

Xuan Yifan walked out of this uninhabited alley, the cool breeze blew him, and he tightened his clothes and walked on this road. His stomach was screaming with hunger.

It was the first time he had been hungry, and he hoped it would be the last.

Every time he walked by the door of a house, he had to stop and look at it for a while, and on several occasions he even knocked on the door. Got a few words from the people in the house: "Get out, begging." ”

"Begging for food at this time, you can only eat cold, get out of here."

Xuan Yifan pursed his lips in silence, walked forward silently, and his clenched fists gurgled.

He walked on, and the moonlight shone on the ground, making something sparkle silver. Xuan Yifan's heart moved, he walked over quickly, looked down, and a surprise appeared on his face, this was actually a piece of silver!

In the face of such a surprise, how could Xuan Yifan not bow his head to pick it up. He took the silver and thought to himself: buy four servings of fat beef noodles and four pancakes, and bring them back, and the rest of the provinces may be able to eat for a few more days.

He thought so, and then his gaze suddenly stopped on the bloodstained corner of the silver. The blood stains on the silver reminded him of the day.

He suddenly felt disgusted, and he slammed the silver in his hand to the ground and continued to walk. After taking a few steps, he stopped, and then he stepped back, looking at the silver on the ground.

Hey, what are you waiting for? With this money, won't you be able to eat your stomach?

Hey, this silver has someone else's blood!

So what, just wipe it off.

His conscience will be troubled.

Oh, conscience, conscience can be fed?

Let him choose for himself is conscience? Or a full meal?

The two voices in Xuan Yifan's mind kept appearing, making his face full of contradictions.

For a long time, he stomped his foot vigorously, and his head did not turn back, and his stomach was still growling.

He finally sat down on the ground weakly, his ears buzzing, and he saw this middle-aged man, who was standing in front of him, with a lantern in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

The middle-aged man said to Xuan Yifan: "Can you help me carry the box to the lighthouse, and I will pay you." ”

"Absolutely."

Xuan Yifan immediately stood up, took the suitcase in the middle-aged man's hand, and followed the middle-aged man towards the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is on that end, and they are on this end. Xuan Yifan held the suitcase in both hands, and followed the middle-aged man with difficulty, and the Venus splashed in front of him. He just wants it to be over soon.

Coming to the lighthouse, the middle-aged man knocked on the door, and the door opened. It was an old man, and as soon as the old man saw the middle-aged man, his wrinkled face bloomed, and he said, "Here, yo, Xiaohua, why did you bring someone else, it's your relative?" ”

Xiao Hua just smiled and nodded.

Xuan Yifan followed Xiaohua up one staircase after another, and finally came to the highest point in the lighthouse.

The highest room is a room full of light. The room had only one bed, one table, two stools. The light came from a round ball at the top of the center of the room.

Xuan Yifan carried the suitcase to the table, sat on the stool and lay on the table panting, his stomach growling.

Xiao Hua took out four palm-sized, half-index-finger-high biscuits from the suitcase, took out another gourd, and put it on the table with a "bang" sound. Then he took out a cylinder and a wad of paper and left.

Xuan Yifan watched him leave, came to the window, looked at the sky and pondered something.

Xuan Yifan didn't look at it again, now he only looked at the biscuits on the table, his arm squirmed and crawled towards the biscuit, his fingers finally touched the corner of the biscuit, picked it up and moved it back, took a bite down, his mouth made a clicking sound, after eating what he had in his mouth, he pinched the scraps on the table and drank the water, and he felt full.

Xuan Yifan stood up at this time, wanting to express his gratitude, and found that Xiaohua was already lying on the bed and sleeping.

Xuan Yifan looked out the window, and the east was already lit up.

Xuan Yifan was shocked: Damn, I have to go back quickly.

He put the remaining three biscuits into the savings bag, bowed to Xiao Hua who was lying on the bed, and walked out lightly.

Before he went out, he saw a pile of paintings on another stool, he picked up the pile of paper, and the wind outside the window blew in, and the wind blew the pile of paper, and the paintings on the paper gradually crossed in front of his eyes.

The dark night sky was full of stars, and countless stars turned into meteors and dragged slender strips across the sky, illuminating the night sky.

The wind stopped, and it was all over.

The thoughts in Xuan Yifan's mind did not stop, he felt the brilliance of the moment when the meteor crossed the sky for the first time, and he also felt the fearless domineering spirit that gave up no one.

Xuan Yifan understood that he would be promoted and changed because of all this today, so he bowed again and left quietly.

He returned to the inn, opened the door and froze. Li Shuiqing and Wang Xuantong sat on both sides of the table. On the table is a pot of hot porridge, a basket of steamed buns, and three pairs of chopsticks - the little demon is eating his own meal.

Seeing Xuan Yifan stunned there, Wang Xuantong said, "Don't come over to eat yet." ”

Xuan Yifan hurriedly went in, sat down and said, "Do we have the money to buy it?" ”

Wang Xuantong smiled evilly: "No, we stole it." ”

Xuan Yifan screamed in shock.

Wang Xuantong laughed.

Li Shuiqing said: "You can find a job to do, can't we, stupid." After saying that, he shook his head and smiled.

Wang Xuantong smiled enough and said, "Go to sleep after eating, don't let your head be so confused." ”

Xuan Yifan didn't say anything, put the biscuits on the table, filled himself with porridge, and drank it with a grunt. After drinking, I took off my shoes and socks and went to bed.

The countless meteors in the dream crossed in front of his eyes, leaving bright traces in his mind.
