Chapter 218: Drinking in Zhuangxiang and Feng Shui are indescribable
There is food around you, so you don't panic when you travel.
From Jingshu City, following the route deliberately marked on the map, rushed to Zhao Que in Meitang Prefecture, of course, he was full of food, and drank water when he was thirsty.
It's no longer like before, how can there be a clear route, and I don't know where there can be a supply on the road ahead, so I can only shuttle between the barren mountains and mountains, crawl over, torture Zhao Que, I can't wait to sleep during the day, dream of big fish and big meat, gobble it up.
Looking at the first supply site available for him on the map, he climbed over this mountain, and not far from the bottom of the mountain, there was indeed a village with a large population.
The people of Zhuang Township were enthusiastic, and when they heard him say that he was a scholar who was traveling to study, the old patriarch who took the lead, welcomed him into his home in a few words, and first filled Zhao Que's stomach.
Then he slaughtered the chickens and ducks, took out the bacon left over from the New Year, and made a large table of dishes.
At this dinner in the evening, the old patriarch accompanied him, drank a slightly turbid wine, and listened to Zhao Que tell about the customs and customs on the road.
The patriarch had a white beard and hair, hunched over, but he was in good spirits, listening to Zhao Que's endless talk, while sipping his wine, nodding his head from time to time, and making a slug sound.
"I said young man, the woman you just talked about is really like a fairy from the sky?
Zhao Que mentioned the beautiful woman in Jingshu City, the eldest of the three sons of the patriarch, and couldn't help but ask.
The eldest is old, in his forties, a little ugly, and there is a mess on his face that he has not known what beast has been scratched, he likes to stare at people, and he is still a little stunned when he looks at him like this.
Zhao Que has never seen anyone, on the field of Xisai Territory, no matter how fierce the enemy pawn is, he is tired of seeing it, and he doesn't care at all about the appearance of the boss.
Jaw head.
"Speaking of which, you may not believe it, there is more than one beautiful woman, there are a lot! Alas, I have never seen so many in the small town of my hometown, and I have come out to study and study, which can be regarded as a long experience. ”
"Hey, little brother, where are you from? I heard it just now, and then I forgot it. ”
The second child was eating his meal, his mouth full of oil.
He was about ten years younger than the Boss.
It should be an ordinary time, I can't eat such a delicious meal, and I can't help but pull it into my mouth.
There is also a small table next to them.
It's the daughter-in-law in the house, sitting with the children, and the food is less than here, but it's enough for them to have a good meal.
The eldest daughter-in-law, who seems to be gentle, but is good at drinking, these old men, raise a glass, she also raises a glass, and has drunk a few rounds, the eldest son of the patriarch is drunk with some weak hands, and she has nothing to do.
"Oh, I'm from Qingshi City, Nanyangzhou, and I want to go through Qingchang Prefecture to Meitang Prefecture to see and understand. ”
"Hey, no, no, little brother, after Qingchang Prefecture goes out, you have to go half a state to reach Meitang Prefecture. ”
The patriarch's third son said.
The third child is not much different from the second child, and they look similar.
"Isn't Meitang Prefecture and Qingchang Prefecture not far away?!" Zhao Que asked rhetorically.
Of course, he understands these things very well in his heart, but it is one thing to understand, since he is a guest at the patriarch's house, the patriarch has made an old book and came to the banquet for him, Zhao Que knows what to do, pretends to be stupid, listens to the master's advice, and satisfies their weakness, which is definitely due.
Really.
The third child put down the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at the old patriarch, and said with a smile: " Little brother I don't know, a few years ago, I took the people of Zhuangli, holding the mountain goods on the nearby mountains, to Meitang Prefecture to sell, you don't know, Meitang Prefecture is mountainous, those mountains, not long things, gray-brown, look at the mad, our things, transport over there to sell, can be sold at an excellent price, well, we are a group of people, stop and go, cross the boundary of Qingchang Prefecture, to a very large city, a question, good guy, go the wrong way, not Meitang Prefecture, met a well-wisher, there is a very detailed road map in hand, give us a look, hey, we have to travel more than half a month in the starry night, in order to get to Meitang Prefecture, then forget it, or on the spot to sell the goods in hand, the province on the road to meet bandits road rage, looted us, fortunately, in that big city, the mountain goods sold at the best price. ”
Zhao Que was puzzled and asked, "How does the third brother know that there are no things growing on the mountains of Meitang Prefecture?!"
"This matter, although we have not been there, but to our village to rest in the travelers, we mentioned, you think, little brother, those travelers, walked so many places, seen so many winds and waves, of course will not deceive us, or the second brother said, since the mountains in Meitang Prefecture do not grow things, it is better to sell our mountain goods over there, it must be very popular, maybe, back and forth two or three times, our family, we don't have to live in the village, fields, hire people to farm, give us fifty percent of the harvest every year, our whole family moved into the city, do a business, no more than facing the loess back to the sky, from time to time have to go into the mountains to play mountain goods, happy life?!"
Zhao Que suddenly realized: "Hearing the third brother say this, I know, fortunately, the third brother enthusiastically told me, if I rush to Meitang Prefecture in a daze, I must not take the wrong road?!!"
"Little brother, although you are a scholar, it is the best to come out to see the world, you read too much, it is easy to take the sage and sage principles in the books as a guideline, you must know that there are many things, books can't be told, and we have to be farmers, every day under God's nose, know a lot of things. The Boss said.
Zhao Que hurriedly got up and hugged his fists: "Mr. often says, the real nobleman, is to make me have the kind of, listen to your words, read ten years of books, today to disturb your place, and listen to the three eldest brothers' own truth, let Zhao Que Mao suddenly, forward, Mr. said a lot of truth, I don't understand, now I suddenly realize, there is a feeling of transparency, thank you!"
His reaction, the patriarch's family, was particularly satisfied.
You see, the reader, too.
In terms of reading, their family is tied together, and they are not as good as Zhao Que who travels to study, however, when it comes to being a person and going south and north, don't underestimate them, they haven't traveled far, they haven't read a few books, and they can still be Zhao Que's husband.
The sage said, "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher."
Although Zhao Que doesn't take their words to heart, people are sophisticated, they still have to do it, eat other people's things, and if they don't pretend to be it, they can't tell the truth.
Especially, this year, everyone's life is not easy, the patriarch's family, and they have made such a big investment, please eat a good meal, to be honest, Zhao Que is very grateful in his heart.
I have eaten wine and food.
Zhao Que stayed at the patriarch's house.
The eldest child, the second child, and the third child took their families and returned to their homes.
After tea and dinner, it was inevitable that the old patriarch nagged Zhao Que and said some of his own life principles.
Zhao Que honestly sat next to the old patriarch and listened to him talk about these things.
From how to manage a big family in a dignified manner, to in Zhuang Township, who has an accident and how to deal with it, the old patriarch does not hide his selfishness at all, and tells the story.
Zhao Que listened carefully, and after the old patriarch finished speaking, he hummed.
The old patriarch felt comfortable, said for a while, took out the good tea from his private collection, and asked his wife to brew it for Zhao Que.
"Young man, I said you, when you are in a hurry, when you meet strangers, you must be more careful, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to prevent people!"
"Well, don't worry, old patriarch, I understand these truths, but thank you for the old patriarch's reminder, Zhao Que has nothing to repay, so he can only ask someone to bring some good things over to the old patriarch after he has gained fame in the future. ”
"Hey, hey, what to bring, I'm a bad old man, I don't need anything, you just need to be famous, besides, I'm about to enter the loess, what to eat and drink is a waste, young man, when I see you, I feel kind, so I stay at home, if I change someone else, I would have called someone casually and brought it back to his house, what is this called?!"
"Old patriarch, this is called fate, which means that we have fate. ”
"Yes, yes, fate, come, drink a pot of tea with me, chat with you, feel comfortable, I can see you clearly, the reason why I can talk so much, to make it clear, we are all bright and upright people, not like those scoundrels in Zhuang Township, thinking about doing bad things every day, not doing personnel. ”
Zhao Que accompanied the old patriarch, drank more than one pot of tea, and chatted until late at night before he returned to the guest room that he had hurriedly cleaned up and lay down.
The body is fine.
However, after hurrying, I thought about going to Meitang Prefecture and finding Doctor Shen, but I didn't know if his body could hold it.
Only do your best to obey the six words of the Mandate of Heaven.
If he consumes the feng shui luck of Jingshu City, the eight-phase dragon python will fiercely attack him, but I am afraid that his life will be lost in an instant.
Right now, the eight-phase dragon python is no longer attacking.
Even if they attack again, and now, if they feed them with martial arts cultivation, the eight-headed guy will not be able to look down on them.
The only one who can see his eyes is his life.
Get up early in the morning.
took over the old patriarch's wife, prepared dry food for him, and the water bag was connected with water.
Zhao Que asked, "Old Patriarch, haven't you gotten up yet?"
"No, I persuaded him not to drink so much last night, I'm not a young man anymore, my body can't hold on, I don't listen, you see, I can't get up. ”
Zhao Que took out the silver taels and put them in the hands of the old patriarch's wife, "You must take this money, the old patriarch is old, so he buys more to replenish his body on weekdays." ”
"Hey, young man, I can't help it, our family entertains you, just like you said to the old man last night, it's all fate, since it's fate, how can we collect your money again? Put it away, put it away!"
Zhao Que hurriedly persuaded and complimented her before she accepted a few taels of silver.
He doesn't have much money on him now, and he has to travel a long way, and these few taels of silver are really the most money he can come up with.
Tie the dry food and water to the horse, Zhao Que said goodbye to the old woman, led the horse out of the door, and turned over.
This horse, should have rested enough, ran very happily, until a few miles away from Zhuang Township, standing on a dirt slope, looking back at this village, Zhao Que's brows gradually wrinkled.
The topography and feng shui of this village gave him an indescribable feeling that he didn't know what would happen in the future.
Anyway, after meeting the blind old man in Jingshu City, Zhao Que couldn't help but be more worried about the upcoming chaos in Great Xia.
