Chapter 22, Bahe County
In a year of abundant snowfall, the snow fell exceptionally heavily in the southern country this year.
Along the way, it was white, although it was not easy to walk, but fortunately, from Yuliu County to Bahe County, the distance was not too far, and it soon arrived at Bahe.
The Bahe River is a tributary of the Huajiang River since ancient times, originating from the northernmost part of Jingzhou and running all the way to the southeast, which is the boundary river between Jingzhou and Qingzhou.
And the Bahe River in front of them is a small section of the Bahe River.
Half surrounded by Bahe County, it is regarded as the moat of this Bahe County, and you can see the gray city head from afar......
A ring of heavy bluestone mixed with snow, tightly surrounding the county, looks extremely majestic and strong, the battle flag is dancing wildly at the head of the city, and there are four soldiers in iron armor at the gate of the city, interrogating the villagers passing by.
Ning Wuchai and the three of them rode their horses and followed a group of caravans, stepped on the only stone bridge on the Bahe River, and slowly walked towards the county seat of Bahe.
The winter willows are depressed, and the snow is like a quilt.
In the cold winter, even the river surface was frozen with a thick layer of ice.
Yu Qingmei, who had never seen this kind of scene since she was a child, was full of excitement, and she was about to jump under the bridge with a horse, but Ning Wuchai was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her.
He wasn't afraid that Yu Qingmei would have an accident, the main thing was that the little mare couldn't stand such a big stimulus, so they returned Shen Xiaolou's ashes jar and continued to go south.
Buying a new horse in this county is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, the money spent is enough for them to eat fish and meat for half a month!
This loser......
Ning Wuchai secretly complained, then ignored Yu Qingmei, who was full of loss, turned his head to Lin Caiwei and asked, "Sister Caiwei, you came from Xiliang, right, I heard that it doesn't seem to snow over there, is it really fake?"
Lin Caiwei smiled gently, nodded and said: "Yes, it's the first time I've seen snow, and I didn't know that snow was so beautiful before, but the desert and mountains over there in Xiliang are also something you can't see here, and each has its own good." ”
"Then you came to the south to wander in the clouds?"
"It's not about traveling, looking for people. ”
Lin Caiwei's hair next to her sideburns was swaying, her eyes were a little divergent, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously picked up a smile: "Three years ago, I met him in the south, in fact, I originally made an appointment to meet in the Nanping Pavilion next year, but the days on the mountain were too lonely, so I came to the south in advance to find him." ”
Ning Wuchai was caught off guard and was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, and suddenly the whole person was depressed, and there was a whimper like an injured dog in his heart......
It's just that the old man is chic!
Why does even Aunt Dao have a sweet love?!
What do single dogs do wrong?
If he's guilty, let the laws of the Southland judge him instead of being fed dog food by these hateful love parties!
After dismounting and being hastily interrogated by the soldiers, the three of them quickly entered the city, and even the soldiers just looked at their faces, and did not delay much time at all.
Immediately after entering the city, it became lively, the convoy of merchants had a few ruts on the snow-swept streets, and the shops on both sides were in good order, and people came and went through the streets and alleys, mixed with the shouts of hawkers from time to time.
It seems that the environment is much better than that of Yuliu County.
The three of them walked across the street with their horses, but Lin Caiwei suddenly shook her head and said with emotion: "Nanguo has really been comfortable for too long, although the people live and work in peace and contentment, but after all, they lack some sense of vigilance...... If it were in my Xiliang, the soldiers defending the city were perfunctory like just now, I am afraid that they would have been dragged out for military justice a long time ago. ”
Ning Wuchai nodded, he also felt that the soldiers guarding the city were a little perfunctory, but when he thought of the various rumors of His Majesty the King of the South, he suddenly didn't feel strange.
"When His Majesty King Nan was still the crown prince in his early years, he seemed to be quite energetic, but after he ascended the throne, he seemed to be only obsessed with alchemy, and he didn't manage the government much in recent years, and he was all helped by the left and right ministers to deal with political affairs. ”
After Ning Wuchai finished speaking, Lin Caiwei couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Immortality is a demon that all emperors can't get around.
But even if it is Tianqing, it is only a mere five hundred years of life, which is too far from the life span of the demon clan of thousands of years.
People have a short life, but they are wise and numerous.
The demon has a long life, but he is stupid and widowed.
What you get, you have to give something.
Immortality is nothing but a mirror, this is the common knowledge of all cultivators.
However, no matter how strong a cultivator is, it is impossible to care about the emperors of the world, as the so-called heavenly way is constant, and the rise and fall of dynasties have their own certainty. I just don't know how many years of good life there are for the people of the southern country......
"Xinghua Lane, it should be here, right?"
The three of them walked and stopped along the route Shen Xiaolou said, and soon a small courtyard of private houses appeared on both sides, Yu Qingmei looked at it carefully, and soon found a small road monument at the corner of a private house.
The bluestone pedestal, which looks regular and neat, is about as high as a calf, and is roughly engraved with the words Xinghua Lane.
Ning Wuchai saw the road monument, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It should be here, go inside, the house with a big banyan tree in front of the door should be Shen Xiaolou's home, and it can finally be handed over ......"
However, before he finished speaking, he saw several half-year-old children running out of the alley chasing a thin beggar with a dirty face, almost knocking Ning Wuchai into his arms.
Fortunately, the cultivator's six senses were keen, and the three of them hurriedly dodged, let a way out, and watched the group of children run away with a grin.
"Catch him, catch him, stuff the rat in his crotch!"
"Silly Ashan, fine hemp pole, there is a mother's teaching, no father cares~"
"Little Liuzi, run faster!"
Yu Qingmei's eyebrows were lightly raised twice, and her enthusiasm suddenly rose, and she was about to roll up her arms and sleeves to catch up: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you have learned to bully beggars! These bear children are just undereducated! Auntie and grandmother are going to ...... for the sky today."
Ning Wuchai's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly grabbed Yu Qingmei and persuaded: "Senior sister, forget it, forget it!
Yu Qingmei still struggled unrelentingly: "What is not enough! If you don't learn well when you are young, you will grow up bad and grow old! Now they can bully beggars, and when they grow up, they can beat their wives and children, aunt and grandmother This is the light of the righteous path! Establish correct life values for them!"
“......”
Ning Wuchai was speechless, he was thinking about Yu Qingmei, and he had to establish correct life values for others, which was simply outrageous.
Why didn't Yu Qingmei reflect on herself when she squeezed him?
I know that I want my junior brother, and I want my junior brother!
I don't care if he can stand it physically!
Seeing Yu Qingmei being fluttered by Ning Wuchai's arm for a while, Lin Caiwei closed the smile on the corner of her mouth and reminded: "It's already far away, it's better to find Miss Xiaolou's family as soon as possible and return Miss Xiaolou's bones to others, it's been twenty years, and I don't know if the Shen family can't live here......"
