Six or seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the two have already left the boundary of Yongzhou, passed through Gaoping, Langshan and other places, and arrived near Hualu, the capital of Quyue. The two had never been here, but when they saw that most of the pedestrians on the road were similar to those in the Central Plains, they didn't feel too much novelty.

In the early morning, the sky was bright, and there was neither the cold of winter nor the heat of midsummer. Wan Jianfeng led the donkey and walked on the endless field, and the sun poured on his body, making him feel warm. Although the weather was not very hot, there was no shade in the wilderness, and after walking for a while, the sweat on Wan Jianfeng's face slowly flowed down the corners of his forehead, converging and dripping to the ground.

Wan Jianfeng wiped his sweat with his hands, looked up at the sun again, and suddenly felt a burst of thirst. He habitually untied the wine gourd around his waist, and poured a few large sips into his mouth, he was so thirsty at this time that he drank all the wine in the gourd before he could quench his thirst.

Murong Yunyao saw that there was no wine in his gourd, and said with a smile: "Stinky for food, are you soaked in the wine vat?" You say you drink wine as water every day, how much wine do you have to drink like this? ”

Wan Jianfeng shook the wine gourd and said: "Hey, don't say it, when I was a child when I stole something, I really fell into someone's wine vat, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper's quick eyes and quick eyes, he took me out of the vat, Ben Shaoxia was afraid that he would have slept in the wine vat a long time ago." ”

Murong Yunyao chuckled and said, "You stinked a jar of wine, and the shopkeeper didn't beat you to death?" ”

Wan Jianfeng said proudly: "With Ben Shaoxia being so smart, he can still be beaten!" Not only did the shopkeeper not beat me, but he rewarded me with a few copper plates before leaving. ”

Murong Yunyao asked puzzledly, "Could it be that the shopkeeper's brain is sick?" ”

Wan Jianfeng smiled: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" Because Ben Shaoxia gave the shopkeeper an idea, let him buy the vat of wine that had been soaked in Ben Shaoxia as ginseng wine, and made several times more! ”

Murong Yunyao had already bent over with a smile at this time, she pointed at Wan Jianfeng and said, "What else have you done, all of them have been recruited truthfully, this girl is not afraid to die of laughter here today!" ”

Wan Jianfeng said helplessly: "This young man is so thirsty that he really can't talk about it." But fortunately, Quyue people often use wine instead of tea, entertain guests, and it is very convenient to start drinking, let's go quickly. ”

While the two were talking, they had gradually walked out of the field, and saw a small county town not far away. Wan Jianfeng pointed to the county town as if he had obtained a treasure, and said excitedly: "Little witch, there is a small city there, there must be wine in the city, this young man will go first!" After saying that, he led the donkey and galloped away.

Soon, Wan Jianfeng came to the vicinity of the city gate.

He took a brief look at the small city, and saw that the city walls were low and dilapidated, the cracks in the bricks and stones were overgrown with withered grass, the houses in the city were also very simple and sparse, and a plaque on the city gate read "Zhining County" three large Chinese characters.

Wan Jianfeng couldn't care about these anymore, ran into the city gate quickly, and looked around where there was a restaurant. But when he saw it, he couldn't help but be disappointed. I found that this place is not a restaurant, and there is not even a decent house.

He had no choice but to walk towards the city, and saw a tall old tree in the city, and under the shade of the tree sat several old men, playing chess and chatting. The sunlight slanted on the old trees, casting a thick reflection on the ground, enclosing the old people in it, and the scene was very warm and harmonious. How they wish that time could stand still forever in this moment.

Wan Jianfeng stood in the distance, silently looking at these old men, and thought, "Hou Renbao let us wander around the people, doesn't he just want us to talk to this guy, Ben Shaoxia will ask them for some wine by the way, just kill two birds with one stone." ”

He thought about walking slowly to the side of a few old people, and said with a smile: "One day is better than two days, a few old men, you are really a fairy life!" I wonder if you can tell me, a foreigner, the story of your Qu Yue? ”

Several old men glanced at Wan Jianfeng up and down a few times, and then said with a smile: "Encai Li Dudu? ”

Wan Jianfeng scratched his head and asked inexplicably, "Belly pocket?" Only women and children wear belly pockets, is it a woman in this Encai! Your Qu Yue's story won't be so special, right, you actually want to start with the belly pocket worn by a woman named Eun Caili? ”

The old people didn't seem to understand Wan Jianfeng's words, and several people looked at each other for a while, waved their hands and said, "After the right Anhui Nanji, Di Hao Ida." ”

"Is this annoying to me, let me wander south?" Wan Jianfeng became more and more confused when he heard this, and just wanted to go to the front to find a few Chinese speakers to ask, when a burly old man walked over, "Little brother, what do you want to ask, just ask me." ”

Although the old man was a little older, he was still full of energy when he spoke, and his voice sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Wan Jianfeng was so shocked by his words that he hurriedly blocked his ears with his hand, and said forcibly: "This old man, this young man is a foreigner, he has recently come to Qu Yue, he was thirsty just now, and he wants to find a cool place to rest and beg for a drink." Seeing that a few old men seemed to be telling a story, they came over to listen to it. But when these old men spoke, Ben Shaoxia couldn't understand a word, and he really heard me in a fog. ”

The old man smiled and said, "Shaoxia is from the Central Plains, so naturally he can't understand Qu Yue's words. In Quyue, only these old people who don't come out of the house can't speak Chinese. ”

He glanced at the old men under the tree, and said in Qu Yue's dialect: "Uncle Bharata." The old men seemed to be very jealous of the old man, and as soon as his words fell, they all stood up and gave up the bamboo chair on which they were sitting.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, picked the sturdiest bamboo chair and sat down slowly, and pointed to a bamboo chair next to him and said, "Little brother, if you are interested in listening to our Qu Yue's story, just sit down and listen to me tell it slowly, don't stick here like a bamboo pole, otherwise you will be tired before my story is finished." ”

Wan Jianfeng saw that the old man was talking very funny, and couldn't help but have a little more affection for the old man, and sat opposite him according to his words, looking at the old man curiously. The old man cleared his throat and said as quietly as he could, "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, our Qu Yue was still a part of the Tang Dynasty, and it was called Jiaozhi by you Han people at that time. But with the fall of the Tang Dynasty and the rise of the princes of the world, the Jing Navy Festival in the Jiaozhi area made Yang Tingyi also take advantage of the situation, and there was the prototype of our Qu Yue. ”

"What!" Wan Jianfeng's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief: "You guys here were originally part of the Tang Dynasty?" Ben Shaoxia saw that you were talking and chattering, and you couldn't get along with the Central Plains Eight Poles. ”

The old man laughed and said, "I didn't expect it!" At that time, Yang Tingyi had two generals under him, one was called Wu Quan, and the other was called Jiao Gongxian. This Wu Quan was born with outstanding appearance, both civil and military, and won Yang Tingyi's love. Although Jiao Gongxian's character is also good, compared to Wu Quanlai, it is still a little worse after all. At first, the three monarchs and ministers worked together to govern the country, but they were all right, but as Yang Tingyi's daughter became more and more beautiful, it was time to find a wishful husband for his daughter. Yang Tingyi's most important thing is naturally Wu Quan, and Wu Quan has long been in love with Yang Tingyi's daughter, and this marriage is a matter of course. ”

When Wan Jianfeng heard this, he interjected: "The left hand and the right hand are both hands, if that Jiao Gongxian also likes Yang Tingyi's daughter, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”
