Volume 10, Chapter 47: Heroes
Wuling County is a wonderful place. Legend has it that a fisherman walked along a stream into a mysterious place, which was no different from the legendary fairyland—the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were self-sufficient, the happiest people in the world.
The fisherman stayed there for a few days, envious, and when he left, he was still in love, and then he wanted to come here a second time to experience the beauty, but he could never find that beautiful wonderland again.
Since that day, Ideal Township has a unified title - Peach Blossom Spring. The story of the Peach Blossom Spring, in the eyes of many people, is just a fiction and other fantasies, after all, those areas where the yellow hair and drooping hair live are not small in the legend.
But that's what makes myths and legends fascinating. When countless people heard this story, the truth that the story wanted to tell people was deeply rooted in people's hearts and passed on forever, and at this point, the truth of the story became no longer important.
The important thing is that from the story of Peach Blossom Spring, everyone understands two truths. First, the ideal township exists, as long as you get rid of distracting thoughts and seek with all your heart, you will definitely be able to find it, so people should have ideals.
Second, Wuling County, where the Peach Blossom Garden is located, must be very beautiful. The beauty of Wuling County is not only reflected in the daytime, but even in the night.
When Jiang Yu and the others had just left the city, when the husband of Wuling County reported his son, it was late at night, and it was a wilderness here, no matter what, it should be eerie and terrifying.
But this is not here, on the contrary, the high slope where the two Jiangyu are at this time is full of peace and beauty.
The topography of Xiangzhou is the coexistence of hills and plains, and here is an excellent example - from the flat official road at the city gate, walk all the way out, walk along the bluestone slab for three or five miles, you can see this small hill, the hill is full of small trees, but at this time it is late autumn, most of the trees have withered, although the small trees are not so lush, but the dry branches are thin, but there is a bleak and wind bones.
The two of them walked along the hillside to the top of the slope, all the way covered with fallen leaves, it was late at night, the starlight was sprinkled all over the sky, and the fiery red fallen leaves in the day showed a strange white gray at this time, and the feet were soft and soft on it, as if they had pounced on a thick carpet.
Falling to the top of the slope, Jiang Xiaoshu was surprised why Xiaoyu came here in such a hurry, but after seeing Xiaoyu put down the wine jar, he took off his coat:
"It's good here, let's get started." Jiang Xiaoshu was almost frightened, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand:
"Eh, don't! Little Fish Girl, I don't know what you want, but I'm very coveted, I know that! Xiao Yu frowned:
"What?" Jiang Xiaoshu hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and then opened a slit:
"I'm a person with terrible self-control, and I know this even better, so I advise you, it's best not to act rashly, and don't ......move at all," Hearing this, Xiao Yu sneered:
"Laughing scholar, I remember you said that you are a decent gentleman." Jiang Xiaoshu begged for mercy again and again:
"No, I'm not, I'm a big bastard, a big bastard through and through, who dares to do anything but good things. If I do something unreasonable, it's normal. ”
"Really?" Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then sat down:
"Is two sips of wine a good thing or a bad thing?"
"What?"
"yes, I want to find a place to drink with the laughing scholar, is this hurtful? Or is it a loss of conscience? Xiaoyu originally deliberately kept a straight face, but when he said this, he couldn't help laughing:
"Drinking with a big bastard, will I become a big bastard too?"
"Uh......" Jiang Xiaoshu put down his hand and sat down next to Xiaoyu, his expression was very embarrassed:
"And what is the reason for you to take off your clothes?" Xiao Yu said as a matter of course:
"Of course, it's for coolness, this is the strongest wine in the drumming and blowing sheng building, and if you take a sip, you can burn from your mouth to your stomach, and if you don't take off your clothes first, you will die of heat when the time comes." When Jiang Xiaoshu heard this, his pounding heart finally calmed down, and he silently opened the wine jar, and he immediately exclaimed:
"What the fuck is this?"
"Wuling peach blossom brewing, it has been put for more than forty years, but it is bigger than the two of us combined." Xiao Yu said, shook the jar, only to hear the clanging constantly, just such a cursory listening, this wine is only less than half a jar left, it can be seen that more than 40 years of clouds, most of them are not lies.
The fragrant fragrance of peach blossoms drilled into Jiang Xiaoshu's nose as if he had eyes, he immediately covered the mouth of the altar with his hand, and even the fragrance was reluctant to let go, he couldn't help but relish, smacking his lips and saying:
"Tut-tut, I have drunk this kind of wine three or five times in my life, and every time I drink it, it is a group of people who share a jar, although it is enough nonsense, but I always feel that I am not happy to drink. I didn't expect to be able to have this blessing today and enjoy an altar alone, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you are really my confidant......" Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically:
"The confidant of the laughing scholar, isn't it the Lord Zhou just now? Where do I dare to compare with him. Jiang Xiaoshu waved his hand:
"No, in my place, making friends only depends on your temperament, right appetite, what kind of dignity and humility, all go to the fuck." Xiao Yu nodded:
"I heard that the laughing scholar was so high-minded, but it was more intoxicating than fine wine." Jiang Xiaoshu has already mentioned the altar:
"That being said, when you are happy, there is no wine, just like there is no salt in the dish, no matter how energetic you are, it is very meaningless. Please! ”
"Please!" The two of them collided with each other, and then each drank a big sip, this aged peach blossom brew is really wonderful, smelling rich and intoxicating, drinking in the mouth is not so spicy, but the wine into the throat, but like a line of fire straight into the abdomen, then you know, this is the real very mellow spirits, but the wine and floral fragrance complement each other, almost to the state of water and milk, seamless state, this can not smell.
After taking a sip, Jiang Xiaoshu sighed happily, turned his head, and saw that Xiaoyu also happened to look at him, the two looked at each other and smiled, and touched and took another sip.
Putting down the wine jar, Jiang Xiaoshu wiped his mouth and asked:
"Xiaoyu, you just said that you are very jealous?" Xiaoyu smiled:
"You think I shouldn't be jealous?" Jiang Xiaoshu thought for a while before replying:
"People don't envy what they have, so what do you lack?" Xiao Yu smiled:
"I am short of money, just as these two jars of wine were paid for by the silver ticket you gave me beforehand, which was supposed to be ransom." At the mention of this, Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly remembered something and took out a note from his arms:
"No." Xiao Yu took a look and was shocked, this was her marriage contract with Wang Kui, she said in a shocking voice:
"Where did it come from?"
"Naturally, it was stolen from Wang Kui, the time of the game, at the gate of the Zhijiang County Yamen, I felt it out of him, thinking of finding a chance to give it to you, who knew that so many things happened later, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was burned, Wang Kui also died, this thing doesn't seem to be of much use......" After that, Jiang Xiaoshu shrugged:
"Find a chance to burn it, from now on, you are Xiaoyu, you are Yu Xiaozhi, and it has nothing to do with that miscellaneous, and it has nothing to do with Xiaoxiang Pavilion." Xiaoyu flipped through the marriage contract and looked at it a few times, and then sighed:
"I'm doing something to you, but you still want to help me, are you a fool?" Jiang Xiaoshu thought for a moment, and then said:
"If every time I am scolded for being a fool, I can save a person who has gone astray, then I wish I would be scolded every day......" Seeing Xiaoyu staring at him, Jiang Xiaoshu hurriedly added:
"But first, I'll talk back." Xiaoyu took out the fire fold and burned the marriage contract, Jiang Xiaoshu found that her face was red, but she didn't know if it was the wine or the color of the flame.
After the marriage contract was burned, Xiao Yu said in a low voice:
"You just said that people don't envy what she has, and that's right."
"So what are you missing? Don't say it's silver, it's something that everyone is missing, and it's boring to talk about it. ”
"Hope."
"Huh?"
"I lack hope." Xiaoyu said in a low voice:
"There is a huge drum and sheng building, everyone is full of hope, but only my heart is like ashes." Jiang Xiaoshu comforted:
"You're only in your twenties, and you still have a long way to go."
"No," said the little fish gloomily:
"I'm a bitch, a bitch who can be a husband, Wang Kui is dead, but the ending he caused can't be changed, I'll always be ...... After Xiaolan was found and the Jiang Yue Gang was destroyed, what should I do after you leave? Speaking of this, Xiao Yu looked up at Jiang Xiaoshu:
"Laughing scholar, I look ridiculous now, right?" Jiang Xiaoshu shook his head:
"Whether it's a prostitute or an emperor, as long as he doesn't do anything hurtful, then he will always be a person, and if he lives, there will be hope. Please stop thinking like that. Xiao Yu's heart moved when he heard this, and suddenly said:
"I'd like to ask you to hear something."
"Listen up."
"It's a ridiculous idea, but I do think so—I think that everyone in this world should be equal, whether it's an emperor, a beggar, a queen, a princess, or a prostitute...... All people are created equal, and the right to be human cannot be deprived or trampled on by anyone. Jiang Xiaoshu pondered for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Damn, who said that?"
"Who do you think would have said that?"
"To be able to say something like that, he must be a hero."
"Yes, he's a hero."
"Give me a referral?"
"Okay." Xiao Yu turned his head and approached Jiang Xiaoshu to teach him to see his eyes clearly. Jiang Xiaoshu saw himself in these eyes.
