Chapter 109 Silver is hard to buy Spring Hu
Bai Lan smiled, "I am a person from Youfang, and the four seas are my home." However, to say that the ancestral lineage is still from Qinan Prefecture. ”
Lao Dao sighed with emotion: "That's poor Dao thinking too much." ”
At this time, an abrupt voice interjected, but it was the beautiful girl who couldn't help but speak.
"Dare to ask how old is the child? Do you have close relatives in your family? ”
Bai Lan smiled, "I have been a person for 20 years, my parents are deceased, and I am single but I have traveled the world, looking for mountains and rivers for this life." ”
"Shu'er, don't be rude."
Zuo Jushi scolded the woman, and then said with a smile: "Little brother, I hope don't blame the little girl for being rude." ”
Bai Lan shook his head and praised: "The children of the rivers and lakes have their own temperament, how can they be bound by ordinary etiquette? The noble girl is bold, and she will definitely become a famous heroine in the future. ”
"Hahaha, thank you little brother for the compliment, I thank the little girl."
At this time, Xiao Er was already standing by his side and said, "Childe, your wine has been prepared, and the horse has also fed you and drunk enough water." ”
Bai Lan nodded and said to everyone: "I have taken my leave from you." ”
He is dressed in white, and there is an indescribable charm between his hands and feet, which is pleasing to the eye, no matter where he stands, it is a picture.
The two jars of wine were hung on both sides of the horse's back by hemp rope, and Bai Lan led the horse out of the small town of Qi County all the way along the newly built official road to the border of Mingzhou, the sound of the horse's hooves was soft, shaking the bell tied around the horse's neck, and jingling with the wind all the way.
Bai Lan passed by a house and saw the gourd vine hanging on the wooden frame, but the buds had just grown in early spring.
He stood outside the vegetable garden and shouted, "Is anyone there?" Is the host house available? ”
"Squeak~"
The wooden pivot door opened and a mother-in-law with a headscarf walked out, looking at Bai Lan's figure and shaking her eyes, "Oh, this son is so handsome." What is the matter of calling the old woman? ”
Bai Lan smiled and said, "I want to borrow something from the old man." ”
"Childe, let's talk about it, I'm easy to talk to, old woman."
"Hehe, I want to borrow a gourd vine from your wooden shelf, mother-in-law. This piece of silver should be bought. ”
He took out a small piece of silver and put it in the old woman's hand with a smile.
"It turned out to be a gourd seedling, where is this worth so much money? Childe, take it back. She hurriedly excused herself.
Bai Lan smiled: "It's worth it." The old gourds are everywhere in summer, and the new gourds are nowhere to be found in early spring. Look, old man! ”
The old woman looked at Bai Lan's hand and suddenly found that the gourd seedlings that should have just budded had already produced green gourds more than five or six and a half feet high.
"Ahh Last year, I watered the ground and saw that the flowers had just not bloomed, so why did so many gourds grow today? ”
Bai Lan smiled and said: "It's exactly this reason, gourds in spring are rare, so I thought about buying a gourd and emptying it to drink wine." ”
The old man took the silver in a daze, watched Bai Lan pick a verdant gourd that was not too big or small, and said goodbye to her with a smile.
Suddenly, the old woman reacted, I'm afraid I haven't met a fairy? Where do ordinary people have such a dusty temperament? And even if she is old, she can't tell the difference between early spring and midsummer, and this solar term definitely can't grow gourds.
But when she looked, there was no sign on the road.
……
Bai Lan hollowed out the center of the gourd with a hook of his hand, turning it into a green and blue palm-sized gourd, and the rest of the gourd seeds were sprinkled on both sides of the official road, and it was impossible to say that passers-by would be able to eat the gourd to quench their thirst in the future.
He found a roadside and led the horse to stop, rested two large wine jars, and when he opened the lid of the altars, a light aroma of wine escaped.
Bai Lan looked left and right to see that there was no one around, his two fingers were together, a little white light was shining on his fingertips, and he pointed to the jasper gourd and whispered: "There is sun and moon in the gourd, and it can hold three rivers of water!" ”
The gourd flickered all over the body, becoming as crystal clear as a green jade gourd, Bai Lan picked up the gourd and blew it on the mouth of the pot, and suddenly the wine in the two jars spontaneously flew into the jasper gourd.
A palm-sized gourd can fill two large jars of wine.
Shake it slightly, and it should be able to hold more than ten catties inside. The horse on the side was also taken aback by this scene, although it did not open its mind, but the wisdom of the horse itself is not low, it has never seen such a scene when it is so big.
Bai Lan left the two wine jars on the side of the road, and some poor people would pick them up when they passed by.
He pinned the gourd to his right waist, turned over on his horse, pulled the reins and tugged, and the horse jogged spontaneously.
Riding a horse lightly, with a flute on the left, a hoist on the right, and a paper umbrella on his back, Bai Lan began his journey into the WTO, "The sound of horses' hooves raised light dust on the official road, this is the newly built dirt road official road, and the horseback galloping on weekdays will only be dusty, but if it rains, it will be muddy."
After all, Mingzhou is a border, the land is vast and sparsely populated, if it weren't for the transportation of military food, I am afraid that the official road of the Great Jin Dynasty would not have been built so quickly.
Bai Lan used the technique of moving on the ground, and the horses traveled more than 300 miles in one day just by jogging.
It wasn't until it got dark that he stopped in front of a deserted village.
It's not that Bai Lan can't walk at night, but because he needs to cultivate at night, he just walks at sunrise and rests at sunset, just like humans.
When he led the horse and stood at the entrance of the village, he found that this was a dead village. It's a dilapidated village without one person, no one and no ghosts. There are still ghosts living in the ghost village, and the dead village is really inaccessible.
But there is no choice, the moon and others have come out, and he needs to cultivate and swallow the moon and strengthen the soul.
On the other side, Zuo Jushi and Kongshan Daoren stopped on the road that Bai Lan had walked.
The sharp-eyed girl was still nagging the little girl beside her, she pointed to the side of the road and said, "Master, don't you see those two jars the wine jars we saw in the restaurant?" ”
The people on horseback stopped when they heard this, and it was really the logo of Deyue Tower.
"Didn't this boy have encountered something wrong, right? There are only two wine jars left in this wilderness. The delicate lady Shu'er was worried.
"It's unlikely." Lao Dao smiled and said: "Seeing that the lids of these two jars of wine are completely opened, and they are not torn off by brute force, and there are no messy footprints around, I think maybe the prince is addicted to wine and gluttonous, and he drank all the wine halfway." ”
"That's too much, isn't it? It's only been half a day, and thirty catties of wine are gone? Shu'er exclaimed.
"What do you do with how much alcohol do you drink? A girl doesn't know shame, and when she sees someone else's good looks, she is undecided, how can you get the essence of martial arts like this? Zuo Jushi reprimanded.
"Well, it's a young man after all." The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "It's not early, we should also find a place to stay." ”
More than 200 miles away, Bai Lan sat under the moonlit night and swallowed the moon intently, he found a dilapidated courtyard, sat in the middle of the courtyard, and rested.
At this moment, there was a sound of frivolous footsteps outside the village.
