72. Country roads
At this time, the third prince looked at the little servant beside him, and then looked at the path that was almost at the end in front of him. Next to this path, there are two rows of green willows and green locusts! Immediately, the third prince smiled and said: "The sky and the earth are wide and the two magical powers, and the infinite scenery is stored in it." Do you know? Wandering little servant boys; Two people, the son is in the chest; The green shade came to testify, and the child accompanied me to visit, the temples are like frost, and I will never forget! β
"Wow! It's still Childe's words and phrases are better! If I listen to your confidant, I will never forget it! Let's ask Childe to come up with a topic! I'll recite these two verses to you! β
"I think it's called 'Field Walk'! β¦β¦ Can you read it all to me? β
"Of course you can!" Xiao Lu Zi replied casually, "Listen! Visit friends and friends in the clear sky and sunshine, travel in the middle of the fun, and walk the fields. Childe chatted and looked up at the sky, how could I forget, I followed! The sky and the earth are wide and the two gods are powerful, and the infinite scenery is stored in it! Do you know? Lingling roams the little servant boy; Two people, the son is in the chest; I came to testify by the side of the green road, and the child accompanied me on a visit; Sideburns like frost, never forget! β
"Xiao Luzi is really amazing!" The third prince praised again, "You can never forget and write down, you are really a rare little talent in my family!" No wonder my second brother also likes you very much, it turns out that you still have such a good memory! β
"Yes! How can you forget, for I am with you? Even if the white people with sideburns are old, they will never forget this experience of you and me! β
"Good! ......" The third prince pondered for a moment and said, "Let's rest under this willow tree before walking, it's still early." β
At this time, Xiao Luzi heard it and hurriedly said, "No! No way! Let's go and get back quickly! I'm not tired at all, but you're tired, Childe. β
"Good! Good! I'll listen to you today. But now I'll come down, you ride, let's go, and we won't stop!" That's it! β
After the third prince finished speaking, he jumped off the donkey, and then pulled Xiao Luzi's arm and asked him to ride up.
Let's say that when Xiao Luzi saw this scene, he immediately panicked. He cried out again and again, "Oops! How does this work? I can't say anything, son, you go down there, and let me ride up with a servant!" β
"Whoa!" The third prince did not give in, and said, "You have to ride up today, who told you that you always don't want to rest!" β
When Xiao Luzi heard this, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "That's good! Three sons! Let's sit down and rest! You're tired too, and I'm tired too! Let's stop and go! All right? β
"No way!" The third prince still pushed Xiao Luzi and said, "I'm not tired at all!" You ride on! There's still more than a mile to go! β
"No...... This can't be done......" Xiao Luzi said, but he couldn't resist the third son, so he had to sit on the back of the little donkey timidly. It's so uncomfortable!
The two of them, who had been reversed, continued to look north.
At this point, the speaker can't help but think of Taiwan's Ye Jiaqiu's campus song "Country Road":
"Walking on the country road, the song of the shepherd boy is rippling. Whoop! They're singing, and there's a piccolo flying!
A smile is written on his face, humming a country tune, and flying in the evening breeze recklessly. How much melancholy, all drifted away with the evening breeze, forgotten on the country road.
Oh put the hoe on his shoulder, and the song of the shepherd was wafting. Whoop! They sing, and the clouds on the horizon are the garments of the sunset.
A smile is written on his face, humming a country tune, and flying in the evening breeze recklessly. How much melancholy, all drifted away with the evening breeze, forgotten on the country road. β
Let's have another song "Grandma's Penghu Bay": "Penghu Bay! Penghu Bay! Grandma's Penghu Bay! β¦β¦ I had a lot of childhood fantasies. Sunlight! Sand beach! Ocean wave! Cactus! And an old captain! β
No one knows why, the sun always goes down on the other side of the mountain; No one can tell me if there are gods living in the mountains, and how many days I am always alone facing the sky in a daze. It's so curious, it's so fantasizing, it's such a lonely childhood......
On the road after that, the third prince always talked to Xiao Luzi about this and that with a smile, and before they knew it, they had crossed the boundary line of Wannian Village under their feet.
However, the little Lu Zi who was riding on the donkey could no longer see the restrained and cowardly appearance just now, but rode happily on the back of the donkey, swinging one after another, so that he was not at ease.
At this time, the third young son is harmless, and he has a different demeanor. I saw him with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and he walked on the east-west road in the 10,000-year-old village.
Besides, the villagers in this village looked at them in amazement when they saw this pair of people coming here! I thought to myself, what's the matter, the handsome boy is walking below, and the little guy who looks like a scholar is sitting on it beautifully, and he really doesn't know how to lift it. Some people couldn't help but complain about this little boy from the bottom of their hearts. However, some of the children in the village were still smiling and shouting at Xiao Luzi! And at this time, that little Lu Zi was even more energetic, looking down at the familiar little faces around him, as if he was being a general!
After a short time, the two of them came to a tall black gate, only to see that on both sides of the main gate were the towering courtyard walls with white faces and red roofs of glazed tiles, and below them were half-human-high stone wall skirts. In front of the closed dark door were two red pillars that could be closed. On top of this column, a small pavilion is erected. Beneath the pavilion, a thin old man was crouching with his eyes closed next to the small side door on the right. Beneath his feet were the wide stone foyers and corridors! Below the corridor is the layer of stone steps, from the road surface to the platform, there are seven steps, which are the same height as the stone wall skirts of the courtyard walls on both sides! And on both sides of this step, there are two evil stone lions squatting! β¦β¦ Scold! The faΓ§ade is not magnificent, it is like the gate of a temple! When the third prince saw this, he thought about the scene when he came here in the past, and couldn't help but say to himself: "This is the same as when I came here three years ago, but the faΓ§ade has been refreshed!" β
At this time, Xiao Lu Zi had already tied the little donkey to the iron ring in the ear of the stone lion on the left, and then followed the third prince who had climbed the steps and said, "The third prince still remembers this three years ago? But I have never entered this Liu family compound! β
"We can get in today!" The third prince looked back and smiled.
At this moment, the conversation between the two woke up the thin old man who was squatting against the wall. I saw that his eyes were open, and he looked at the white-clothed boy who had gone up the stairs and the boy beside him in amazement; Childe was a stranger, and the little boy's face was still a little familiar, but the old man couldn't remember it. For a while, he couldn't figure out who these two were, let alone what they were doing here.
Before the thin old man stood up, he saw that the third prince had already stepped forward and bowed his head and asked, "May I ask Uncle Li!" Is your master Liu Zhentian available today? β
At this time, the old man had already bowed to his feet, and asked in even greater amazement, "Oh...... Dare to ask Childe what ...... is"
"What! Uncle Li doesn't recognize me? I'm the third son, Yu'er! I've been here before, but Uncle Li really doesn't know me? β
At this time, the thin old man seemed to be more and more surprised, and he couldn't help but look the third son up and down. When he saw his radiant face, he turned his head to look left and right, and looked at it for a long time. At last, the old man let out a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! I know! Childe, you are the third young son of Mr. Ye Guowen, yes harmless! Oops! I really didn't expect that your face has changed so much compared to when you were a child, your eyes are sunken, and the bridge of your nose is erect, I can't recognize you. But I think you are more beautiful now than your childhood face! β
When the third prince heard this, he lowered his head and smiled: "Uncle Li! Xiao Luzi and I came to visit your master Liu Shaozhai today, I don't know ......"
"Oh!" The old man hurriedly picked up and said, "It's not a coincidence that you came today, the young master hasn't come back for a month since he went out to do business. β
"Ahh After hearing this, the third prince couldn't help but be disappointed.
When the old man Li saw the expression of the third prince, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "The third prince is still inside, please!" The young master is not here, but his wife is still at home! Maybe she's still dancing with a sword in the inner court! β
"Nope! No! No! The third prince hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Master Liu Zhai is not here, let's go back!" Come back another day! β
"Whoa! How can there be no way in? Since you're here, you'd better go into the courtyard and watch, and it's not too late to leave in an hour! β
After the old man Li finished speaking, he took the third son's hands and was about to enter through the small side door.
And said that the third son, who was hesitating at this time, was pulled to the side door by the old man, he hurriedly stopped his foot, and said to the old man Li with a smile: "Uncle Li! I've been here in the courtyard before, I'm very familiar, I don't think I need to go in, can't I come to visit your master in a few days? β
At this time, when Xiao Lu Zi, who was following behind, saw this situation, he couldn't help but hug the third prince and said, "The third son! Let's go in and have a look! I've never been in this compound before! We'll go back soon, can't we? β
"Yes! Three sons! How can you two come for nothing today? Come with me! β
"Good! Good! I'll go in with Abel, and you won't have to pull me. β
After the third prince finished speaking, he followed Old Man Li into the compound.
When they came to the courtyard, the third prince and the little Lu Zi saw the scene here, and the two pairs of four eyes suddenly shone strangely. I saw that the peach blossoms in the courtyard were taller than people's heads, and they were simply boundless. The pink peach blossoms in white are really charming and lovely. No wonder the old man Li had to ask the two of them to enter the courtyard to take a look, it turned out that if there was a holy place of immortals here, such as a paradise.
So, under the leadership of Old Man Li, the two came to a stone path facing the gate. Between the walks, not to mention the little Lu Zi, the third prince on the side also looked at everything in front of him in surprise, and he almost forgot what kind of situation he had entered. The two of them only felt that it was fragrant and refreshing, as if they had entered a peach orchard fairyland. However, these are nothing rare for the old man Li. Because, every morning, he will always be here to refresh his heart and recuperate, and it is not strange to see him for a long time.
After a while, the three of them were walking on the small stone path surrounded by flowers and grass, and they happened to hear some faint "thorns" in front of them. The third prince and Xiao Lu Zi immediately raised their heads and looked upward, only to see several arc-shaped "rainbows" crossing from one side of the path to the other, and scattering on the peach blossoms and grass on both sides. However, the colorful water dragons flew over the path, and not a drop of water fell on the stone path. Although the three of them could pass by with confidence, they still felt a little unsatisfied: if there was a few trickles on their faces, wouldn't that feeling be more refreshing and smiling?
At this time, I saw the third prince asking Old Man Li as he walked, "Uncle Li!" When did this front yard plant so many flowers and grass? I've never seen so many peach blossoms when I've been here before! Besides, it's already May, and the peach blossoms will be in full bloom like this? β
