Chapter 25: Home
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Lin got up early, made his bed neatly, and then left the Xiyue Inn.
Walking to a large market in the city, the noise in the market was very loud, Wang Lin was curious, and looked inside, it turned out that the women who got up early to cook for the old and young in the family had already begun to fight with the vegetable vendors for the price, and they were not afraid of disturbing anyone's dreams.
Wang Lin thought it was interesting, but it was a little strange, in his hometown Xiushui Town, the morning was quiet, there would never be such a noisy morning market, there were not a few people left in every household, who still had the heart to get up early to bargain, and the former market had already become the territory of their orphans, and the adults were too lazy to care.
So Wang Lin walked into this interesting bazaar mixed with the sound of hawkers and the sounds of women bargaining.
After walking not far, Wang Lin looked at a stall selling the most common fairy fruit bean curd in Xixia Prefecture.
Speaking of this fairy fruit bean flower, the origin has been thousands of years, and the specific source is no longer available, but the most widespread theory is that a fairy from Zhongzhou who has cultivated to a high level of cultivation has come to Xixia Prefecture for the first time, because of regional problems, it feels bad to eat anything, which can make her Taoist companion anxious.
So the immortal who loved his wife worked hard to collect all the delicious vegetables and fruits in Xixia Prefecture and let his wife taste them one by one, but the fairy still felt that there was no delicacy in Xixia Prefecture after eating all the delicious food, and he regretted it very much, and decided to return to Zhongzhou.
The day before leaving, the fairy was eating the bean curd that can be seen everywhere in the world, and at the same time urging her husband to go home, but suddenly saw a small fruit in her husband's hand. I don't know why, the fairy, who has lost the slightest interest in Xixia cuisine, suddenly wants to taste the fruit. When the fairy husband heard this, he hurriedly said that this was just a wild fruit that could be seen everywhere in Xixia Prefecture, and it was not delicious. The fairy didn't listen to it, but when he ate the wild fruit with the bean curd, his eyes suddenly turned red, and then tears flowed down his cheeks, and he said, "This fruit should only be in heaven." Since then, the fairy fruit has been passed down in Xixia Prefecture.
The strange thing is that the fairy fruit can only survive when it is planted in Xixia Prefecture, and it can only be delicious when eaten with bean curd, and it feels that it is not too much different from other wild fruits when eaten alone. The magic is evident.
On the booth, there are eight words: "All kinds of coincidences, natural success", although the words are written crookedly, but they can still be clearly distinguished.
"Ouch, do you want a bowl of our Xixia Prefecture's special fairy fruit bean curd?" asked the vendor enthusiastically at Wang Lin.
"The boss came with a bowl of fairy fruit bean curd, and then a plate of pickled vegetables. Wang Lin found a place to sit down, smiled at the vendor, and said.
"Okay! The guest waits for a moment. ”
Wang Lin sat in front of the stall, looking at the endless flow of people, the market is really small compared to the city, but it is staged a fascinating life.
"Oh, Brother Wang, I think we have a fate!"
A voice sounded, and Wang Lin saw that it was Xie An.
Wang Lin was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Xie is also coming to eat breakfast?"
"Yes, yes, every time I come to a city, I have to try the city's down-to-earth snacks and food. This unique fairy fruit bean flower in Xixia Prefecture has made me worry about it for a long time," he said and shouted to the vendor: "Boss add a bowl of fairy fruit bean curd!"
Wang Lin put his arms on the table and then held his chin with both hands, and continued to look at the pedestrians coming and going, I don't know if it was because he was still a little stiff in the morning, Wang Lin didn't understand why he enjoyed such a noisy silence.
"Listening to the hawkers' hawking, the bargaining of aunts and aunts, and the variety of fresh fruits, as well as the fish and shrimp that have just been caught, no matter how hard and depressing the road is, I will feel warm and bright at this moment," Xie An said to himself.
"Well, yes, a kind of peace and calm for no reason. Wang Lin also said.
"So every time I go to a city, I always come to their market, and I think it's the most humane place, unlike other times and places, where people are separated from each other. Xie An replied without a ride.
Wang Lin laughed and said, "That's why you don't like to live in Xiyue Inn, but choose the noisy Rongxiang Inn?"
"Yes, I always think that being down-to-earth is the best way to live. What do you think, Brother Wang?" Xie An asked.
Wang Lin was suddenly stunned, the young man who came out of the dilapidated village never seemed to have thought about what kind of life he wanted to live, and it seemed that everything he had done before was just to survive.
Wang Lin was silent, because he didn't know how to answer, and he had never thought about it.
Xie An saw that Wang Lin didn't speak, so he continued to say to himself: "In the bazaar, I will always hear that I didn't bring enough money today? There is no such thing as the kind of wind and snow that Confucian geniuses yearn for, there is no Buddhist monk who is empty, and it is not the blessed land of Taoism, there are only melons, fruits and vegetables, fish, shrimp and seafood, people do not have to know the roots, but they can rest assured that they show goodwill, which is the human touch I pursue. Especially for us in a foreign land, the wet market gives us a sense of belonging, like a loved one who is willing to wait for you to come home even late at night."
"Two guest officers, the characteristics of our Xixia Prefecture, the fairy fruit bean flower is here, the fairy fruit is a wild fruit, but with the bean flower is a fairy delicacy! It's like only by making the right person, it can be done, just like the two guest officers, to match, haha" The vendor came to Wang Lin Xie An with two large bowls of fairy fruit and bean curd.
Xie An said with a heroic smile: "Our morning market is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even the boss can say such Zen words!"
"Oh, guest officer, you've tormented the villain. The vendor smiled and beckoned back to the new guests.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
After breakfast, Wang Lin and Xie An met at the gate of the East City Gate two hours later, and then returned to their residences to pack their luggage.
Wang Lin didn't have any luggage to pack, in fact, he just gave Xie An time to pack his luggage.
He walked back to the Xiyue Inn belongs to the first-class garden of only one day of his own, the outside is the green arrow bamboo that is high out of the courtyard wall, and the inside of the garden is all kinds of flowers and bonsai prepared by the inn, some of which are intertwined and meandering, some of which are upside down and want to fly in the air, and some of which are luxuriant and charming, and the whole garden is a vibrant scene.
But Wang Lin was in no mood to appreciate it, first, he couldn't understand it, and second, he could turn back today, and he was very happy and looking forward to it.
After tidying up his room again, and checking several times that the token handed to him by the general last night had been placed by him, he left the annex and walked towards the lotus garden.
Wang Lin knocked lightly on the door three times, followed by the voice of the man in black who lived in the main house yesterday: "It's here."
But then it was overshadowed by a burst of rapid footsteps, and the owner of the footsteps made a playful voice: "Uncle Zhou!
With a creak, the door of the outer courtyard of Lianhuayuan was opened, and there was a lock of beautiful hair standing inside the door, Sun Ruxue, who was slightly danced by the running wind, looked at Wang Lin with a pair of big eyes, and her jade cheeks were slightly red.
"Eun Gong, Eun Gong, come in, come in. Sun Ruxue directly pulled Wang Lin in the direction of the main house.
Wang Lin walked into the house and saw that the three masters and apprentices of Chunyangzi were also in the main room, and Wu Chi was still asleep, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket.
"Little brother Wang Lin is here, we are also waiting for you, everyone is leaving today, so let's simply say goodbye here together. ”
"The old-timers are going to take Wu Chi back to Zhongzhou?"
"Yes, Xiao Chi's injury can't be delayed any longer, and only by returning to the Pure Yang Palace can he heal as soon as possible. Little brother Wang Lin must come to Chunyang Mountain if he has the opportunity, so that I can do my best to be a landlord, and Xiao Chi will miss you. ”
"Rest assured, when I return to my hometown, I will definitely go to Chunyang Mountain if I have the opportunity. Wang Lin responded, although he felt that he might not be able to walk out in a short time when he returned to his hometown, but he still promised to go to Chunyang Mountain in the mood of taking care of the elderly.
The old Taoist was still obscene as usual, and said to Wang Lin a little mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will definitely come." ”
These words made Wang Lin a little confused.
At this moment, the door of the main house opened, and Ru Xue's brother, the young man who Wang Lin still did not know his true identity as the young emperor of the new country, walked out, still dressed yesterday, dressed in ice blue fine silk, embroidered with fresh and elegant bamboo leaves in the middle, I don't know if he didn't sleep all night or preferred this dress.
"I heard that Wang Gongzi is also leaving today, and it just so happens that several of us are also returning to Zhongzhou today. I said goodbye here. The young emperor said gently.
"Yes, you two brothers and sisters have the protection of the three masters and apprentices of the old predecessors of Chunyangzi, and it will be very safe to go back to Zhongzhou together. Wang Lin said happily to the young emperor.
Junyoko was a little weak-hearted, there were some beads of sweat on Izumoko's forehead, and Wu Chi moved wrapped in a cotton jacket, probably a little cold.
The young emperor still maintained a harmless smile and nodded, unable to see what was in his heart.
"Brother, what about the gift I prepared for Engong, what about the gift!" Ru Xue shouted to her brother.
"Zhou Hong, bring the things that Xiaoxue has prepared. ”
"Yes, Master"
With that, Zhou Hong took out a package from the inner room.
Xiao Xue snatched the package, dragged Wang Lin out of the main house, pulled him to a corner, and whispered: "Engong, Engong, there are those small gifts from my brother and uncles and uncles that I have saved in the past few years, I have given them to you, as well as a few books that my brother has been letting me read, that, Xiaoxue doesn't like to read, so she will give them to Engong!" Xiaoxue lowered Wang Lin and whispered into Wang Lin's ear.
Then his eyes suddenly turned red, and he suddenly said to Wang Lin with a whimper: "My brother said that you were going to a very dangerous place, Xiaoxue asked my brother to take Xiaoxue with you, but my brother didn't let me, saying that there was a fierce grandfather there, and he would eat Xiaoxue when he saw Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue was timid, so he had to give you all his things, you must not have an accident." He was about to burst into tears.
Wang Lin was also panicked, the last thing he could do was how to comfort a crying girl, Qin'er is a living example. This made Wang Lin confused all of a sudden.
Xiaoxue sobbed and said, "Engong, you must not have an accident, remember to come and see Xiaoxue!"
Wang Lin patted Xiaoxue's head and said with a wry smile: "Xiaoxue, don't cry, I'm just going home, there will be no danger." ”
Sun Ruxue opened her big eyes and looked at Wang Lin and confirmed, "Really!"
"Really, I don't lie to you!"
I saw Sun Ruxue burst into tears and smiled, nodded vigorously, and then grabbed Wang Lin's sleeve and wiped it vigorously on her face, imprinted the snot and tears on Wang Lin's body, and then ran back to the house without looking back, standing beside her brother shyly.
Wang Lin was a little sluggish, then shook his head helplessly, and after sorting out his emotions, he turned back to the people in the room and said, "Then Wang Lin will leave, and there will be a period later!"
With that, he turned around and left Lianhua Garden. Sun Ruxue's voice came from behind him: "Brother Engong, I live in Huanhua Palace!
Wang Lin stopped, turned to look at Sun Ruxue, showed a big smile, nodded, and then turned to leave.
Leaving behind in the main room, Princess Ru Xue with an expectant face, Izumoko master and apprentice with dull eyes, Wu Chi who was sleeping, Zhou Hong who was dripping with cold sweat, and the young emperor who still kept smiling.
Wang Lin thought to himself: "Huanhua Palace, the family sect of Zhongzhou, if you have the opportunity to go to Zhongzhou, it seems that there are many places to visit."
When Wang Lin walked away, the three of Chunyangzi and apprentices returned to the side room to pack their things. Ru Xue, who rarely gets up early, decided to go back to the inner room of the main house first and sleep for a while while there was still some time to leave. In the entire front hall of the main house, only the young emperor and Zhou Hong remained.
"Go and tell the secret guards in the army on the border of the Broken Mountain, so that Wang Lin can pass the sea of grass and the broken mountain safely and logically. The young emperor said slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But it's okay not to notify. Zhou Hong lowered his head and replied.
"Oh, why?"
"The subordinate got a report that Wang Lin went to the Broken Mountain Camp with Xie An. Zhou Hong said.
"Xie An?" the young emperor didn't seem to remember who it was.
"Xie An of the Xie Family"
The emperor suddenly realized: "In this way, this matter of Xixia Prefecture, it seems that the Xie family also intends to intervene." ”
"Your Majesty, is there anything else you need your subordinates to do?"
"What to do, what to do, let's go back to Zhongzhou." The old master of the Confucian Family School Palace ran away from home, I really have a headache and don't know what to do!"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Wang Lin walked and walked to the East City Gate, and after waiting for Xie An for a while, he saw him coming over with a large bag. Wang Lin kindly helped him share some of the burden, and the two of them left Broken Water City together.
"Brother Xie, do you mind telling me why you went to the Broken Mountain Camp?" Wang Lin and Xie An walked on the Caohai Deguan Road, chatting as they walked.
"Of course I'm a businessman, I'm going to talk about business. What about Brother Wang?" Xie An asked.
Wang Lin said briskly: "Go home." ”
