Three
The slender man pulled the boat into another water system, and since then he has been down the river again, and when he has reached a certain place, he has to go against the current, and he has changed to a team of slender men, and he pulls the boat slowly forward. Although there is nothing missing on the ship, it is rare to get bored after sitting for a long time. Of course, Zhu Zhu was the same, occasionally asking people to stop the boat, and a few people would go to the shore to play around, and then return to the boat and continue walking. After several days of travel, and passed through many cities near the water, the boat did not stop much, at most it went up to replenish some supplies, and then continued on its way.
Finally arrived at Lin'an Mansion, because on the city wall above the river, the word Linzi was written big, and the seven sons saw it from afar. Although I have been thinking about this place for a long time, when I really saw it, I didn't feel that it was very special, it was just one of the cities in this Jiangnan region!
Entering the city by water, the prosperous scenery is in full view. When he was outside the city, he didn't feel anything, but as soon as he entered the city, just by looking at the person's dress, he was very learned. Women wear flowers, men also wear flowers, and the seven sons can't adapt to it for a while! In the various neighborhoods on both sides of the river, many businesses have been done on this boat. There are many kinds of buildings here, and some of them seem to be much more magnificent than the ones you have seen along the way. There are colorful lanterns everywhere, and I don't know what important festival it is. The children were so happy that they were running in all directions! The arrival of such a large boat certainly attracted the attention of many people, and they came to the shore and kept looking in this direction. On a flower building, several women are quite eye-catching, waving handkerchiefs, and shouting in this direction,
"Zhu Gongzi, it's Zhu Gongzi, you haven't been here for a long time......"
The Seven Sons had already guessed what they did, but it was hard to say!
I thought it would go ashore somewhere, but who would have thought that the ship would sail directly into a mansion. Hey, this can't be done, in this Lin'an City, it is really surprising that it can be so special. But think about it, this Zhu Zhu is so generous, and his family is naturally very wealthy, and it is also imaginable to sail the boat directly into his own backyard! In the end, the boat stopped, and someone had already greeted him, and he slapped it all over, and put the seven sons in order from beginning to end. Zhu Zhu walked in front and walked in with a few people.
This backyard is huge, a few people walk on the covered bridge, from the side can see the lake, the fish in the group, swimming everywhere, see people coming, not afraid, swim up. Qizi also only briefly shook a few glances, in addition to the koi, there are a number of themselves have never seen, it seems, it should also be a more cherished fish! Because it is winter, so the aquatic plants in the lake are not very luxuriant, but there are a lot of moss, but look at that, there are also people who specially clean up, so it will look extraordinarily neat!
At the end of the corridor, there is a courtyard gate, from the outside can already see the plum tree branches stretching out from that side, the plum blossoms are blooming brightly, it is really beautiful! The fragrance is strong, and it also makes the hum sneeze! Through the courtyard gate, heh, it turned out to be a plum blossom forest, there is no one to tidy up here, the plum blossom petals are scattered all over the place, walk on the top, and the mood is very good. Looking up, the blue sky is the bottom, and there are countless pink flowers inlaid on it, which is really beautiful! The seventh son did not want to step on the falling plum, so he dodged left and right, and walked to the end.
Zhu Zhu asked with a smile,
"In this courtyard, should we be more comfortable, let's be here, or go outside?!"
The mountain smiled back at him,
"Let's go here, don't we have a place to live here, let's eat and drink, and rest here!"
Zhu Zhu clapped his hands in response,
"Okay, that's it!Brother Xiaoyi, you go to the pavilion and sit down first, I'll find someone to dig up a jar of wine and come out, let's eat this wine today, hehe!"
Qizi looked at the direction of his finger, and there was indeed a pavilion, and the three of them slowly walked towards it. When I came to a closer place, there was a round table in the pavilion, which was already full of food and drink, and Dashan was not polite, so he took a fruit at random and stuffed it into his mouth, and the fruit was very juicy and sweet!
Not long after, Zhu Zhu came back, carrying a delicate little hoe on his shoulder, beads of sweat on his forehead, and faced the three of them with a smile.
"Hehe, I thought about it, it's better to do it yourself!"
The seventh son looked at this little hoe, only two feet long, and its body was also carved with various patterns, there were fish and turtles, you said that this digging thing, what are you doing with all this, and it will be broken when the time comes, isn't it a pity!
Zhu Zhu put down the little hoe, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile,
"I've told you that no one is allowed to come in unless I agree! hehe, let's eat and drink here in peace, and no one will come to disturb me!"
The seventh son stepped forward to help, and Zhu Zhu naturally gave him the hoe, and the seventh son mentioned it, ouch, this is heavy, who would have thought that such a small hoe is so heavy, and I don't know what it is made of!
The seventh son picked up the hoe and asked,
"How is this so important!"
Zhu Zhu smiled,
"This one is made of gold! I wanted them to make it pure gold, but the craftsman said that gold is very soft, and if you only use it as an ornament, then that's fine, but if you want to dig a hole with it, you can't!
When the words of the seventh son came to his mouth, he couldn't say it again!
Zhu Zhu pointed to a plum tree on the edge of this pavilion and said,
"This jar of wine has been around for forty or fifty years, so it's just right to take it out and eat it!"
Tsk, this wine is actually buried in the ground, dug out and eaten, this kind of experience, is wonderful! Qizi took a small hoe to the tree, at this time, the ground is full of falling flowers, Qizi gently cut the flowers, asked,
"Here?!"
Zhu Zhu pointed to the side and replied to him,
"A little further to the left, oh yes, that's it! But be careful, if you smash it, you won't be able to eat!"
Qizi replied with a smile,
"If it's broken, then dig another one!"
Qizi squatted down and gently scraped the soil with the small hoe, the soil was not too tight, so it was not very laborious. I dug a foot deep, and I saw a piece of red cloth!
"Hey, didn't you say it's been forty or fifty years, how do you know the exact location of this wine?!"
Zhu Zhu smiled,
"The wine here is all in the same direction of the tree, as long as you remember it clearly, it will be easy to find!"
The seventh son carefully loosened the soil around him, and finally the pit was twice as big, and the seventh son was covered with sweat!
"I thought it was a small altar, but I didn't expect it to be so big, I think there are more than 100 catties of wine here!"
Zhu Zhu smiled,
"This jar can hold two hundred catties, hehe, it should be enough for us to eat for a while!"
Qizi stared at the jar with wide eyes, and couldn't help but say,
"Two hundred catties, you can use people to make wine!"
Zhu Zhu said again,
"Well, the trees in the middle are the earliest, so the longer this wine is buried. But there are exceptions, for example, we just ate this jar, and we have to put down another jar again, which becomes a new wine, so ah, we still have to write it down separately!"
This wine jar is too big, it is really difficult to move, so I simply jumped directly into the pit to make wine, in this way, it is another feeling! Qizi stood by the altar, but he couldn't smell any wine, tsk, this altar is really well sealed! The warp cloth is just a decoration, after tearing off, you can see the sealing wax, after the seven sons planed it a little bit, there is an oil cloth inside, with the year, month and day, and the source of the wine written on it, this person who buried the wine, is really attentive! Further down, there is another layer of oilcloth, and only after the seven sons have cleaned up all the surroundings can they turn it on! As soon as they are opened, the smell of this wine is really rushing to the face, so strong that they are about to get people drunk! Tsk, they have been sealed in this altar for decades, and now they are reappearing in the world, and they always want to be amazed!
A plum blossom fell, silently fell into the wine jar, floating on the surface of the wine, and the color was more vivid. Qizi was greedy for a while, and secretly tasted it first, the taste was very complicated, and after several tastes, it was indescribably smooth! This wine, compared with the previous Lushan, seems to be more mellow and strong, it seems that the bigger this wine jar, the easier it is to produce good wine! Hehe, no wonder they put such a big jar, take an altar out, but it is enough to eat for a long time! Look at this courtyard again, how can there be hundreds of plum trees, heh, eat and bury it, that is not all the time to drink this good wine!
Qizi put a small jar and handed it to Humm's hand, Hum brought it to the pavilion, and several people poured it up to eat. Of course, the seventh son covered the mouth of the altar so that it would not be stained with dirt or anything like that. Back in the pavilion, this jar of wine was already more than halfway, and after a few clicks, the seventh son went to get it again.
This wine was so intoxicating that the seventh son didn't eat much before he was slightly drunk. He saw that Hum was already holding a wine bowl, staggering, and he was also gloating and laughing at the amount of wine! However, it didn't take long for the two of them to fall into the pavilion and never get up again!
When I woke up again, I felt that the light outside the door was no longer dazzling, and it was unusually soft. The seventh son carefully recognized, oh, it turned out that he was in a hut, the door was closed, but the window was open, and a few branches peeked in from the outside, and on the branches, there should still be fragrant plums. The moonlight sprinkled through the small window, and on the small table in front of the window, there were also plum blossom petals. The seventh son thought to himself, this Zhu Zhu really has a soft spot for this plum blossom!
Qizi shook his head, and quickly came to his senses, and he thought, if you give him two more bowls at this time, he will definitely be able to eat it! Qizi thought to himself, wouldn't it be happy to take advantage of this moonlight and take some good wine and enjoy the plums! Thinking of this, Qizi climbed up! He first came to the window to see, oh, the moonlight was thick, and there seemed to be that mist shrouded in it. The plum fragrance is pure, mixed with this cold night breeze, and it is even more charming!
Qizi slowly walked out of the house, it was really a little cold, he tightened his clothes, walked a few steps quickly, and didn't feel cold anymore. Looking back, I didn't have any impression in my mind, I should have been sent here by others after I got drunk. The seventh son knew that this forest was huge, so he might be able to remember it if he walked more.
After turning around in this forest for a while, he felt that the front was somewhat familiar, so he walked over there, but it was strange to say, walking around, but he returned to the door of the house where he lived! The seventh son was shocked, could it be that he was lost? He walked to one side, and after a short time, he returned to the front of this house, and the house was the same everywhere, even the plum blossoms that stretched out the window were exactly the same! The seven sons were in a cold sweat, could it be that he really entered this plum blossom maze? He was a little anxious, and called out,
"Brother Dashan, Brother Dashan!"
didn't respond, but he heard a female voice, which scared him enough,
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you arguing about here!"
The one who spoke was humming, and Qizi could hear the thumping of walking, and then, humming's head came out of the small window, and she held her head and shouted,
"You're running around, are you falling for evil?!"
Hey, why is this room humming, this, this is unreasonable! Qizi pinched himself, the pain was terrible, it shouldn't be a dream! Qizi looked around again, and confirmed that this room was really the same as the one he lived in! Just as he was about to say something, he hummed but admired,
"Ouch, no wonder you're tossing outside, the plum blossoms under the moonlight are really beautiful!"
Hum wrapped his clothes tightly, opened the door and came out, a gust of wind blew away, blowing away many plum blossoms, Hum was as happy as a kitten, spread his hands, and turned in circles!
Qizi didn't bother her, and after she finished jumping, he said,
"Do you think it's weird here?!"
Hum gasped slightly, and asked back,
"Nothing weird!"
The seventh son said,
"Isn't it strange that I've been walking around outside and always coming back to this house?!"
Hum stared at Qizi in a daze, blinked his eyes twice, and then laughed out loud and said,
"Haha, your amount of alcohol is really bad, right!
Qizi scratched his head and asked,
"This, what does this have to do with the amount of alcohol?!"
Hum jumped forward two steps, and said,
"Didn't Zhu Zhu say it, there are twelve rooms in this forest, each of them is the same appearance, of course, it is also deliberately arranged like this! If you don't understand, it's really easy to find it! Heh, I said, why are you walking around outside, it turns out that you are lost, haha, you stupid!"
The seventh son smiled helplessly and replied,
"Oh, so that's the case, okay, then you go back and rest, I'll look for it again!"
The seventh son turned around and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by a hum, and only listened to her,
"Hey, I guess, the two of them haven't finished drinking yet, why don't we go over and see how about it?!"
Seven Sons Dao,
"What? Haven't finished yet? Won't you?"
Hum and said,
"Well, do you think everyone is like you, drunk when you get drunk! Go, go!"
Qizi was stunned, hummed and walked out, she seemed to be much more familiar with this forest than Qizi, so let's go with her! However, after walking for a while, she returned to the front of the house. However, when the two of them entered the house, it was not the one they had before. Oh, that's troublesome, hum and lost yourself! No way, keep walking and see.
As the two of them were walking, they suddenly heard a few soft sounds, although the sound was very subtle, but in the silence, it seemed extremely clear! The two of them were very happy, and walked slowly towards the place where the sound came. The seventh son thought to himself, there must be nothing wrong now, even if you can't find it, then you can ask for a way! The two walked very lightly and slowly, of course, they also wanted to see who made this move!
The sound of the rattle became louder and louder, and the two of them hid under a tree and looked in that direction! Hey, why is that pavilion! Both of them were very strange, obviously they were going around, how could they not find this place! At another look, both of them were stunned, only to see one person using the plum branch as a sword, flying around, and actually dancing the sword! And this person was none other than Dashan! Both of them knew that the number of roads on weekdays was wide open and closed, but it was rare to see him use such delicate swordsmanship! Qizi thought to himself, if it was a girl who made this plum branch, it should be like a dance, but Dashan did it like this, it was indeed a little funny, of course, he and Hum were more curious. The mountain used his sword, and the plum blossoms on the plum branches flew out and surrounded him. Dashan also seemed to have discovered Qizi and Hum, so he quickly closed the momentum, and the petals on the plum branch collapsed instantly, and the branches of light were also thrown aside by Dashan.
Qizi and Hum knew that Dashan had discovered him, so they moved their bodies out from behind the plum tree, and the two of them walked forward with a smile, and soon reached Dashan.
Hum smiled and asked,
"Brother Dashan, you, you were dancing just now?"
Dashan smiled slightly and replied to her,
"Well, yes, what's the matter, is it good to dance?!"
Qizi thought that he was going to answer no, but he admitted that he was dancing, which really made him have nothing to say to his opponent!
I was stunned for a moment, and then I smiled and said,
"It's good-looking, it's very good-looking! Brother Dashan, why don't you jump on another one, or teach me!"
Dashan laughed and replied,
"Tired, tired, let's talk about it another day, another day!"
The mountain waved his hand as he walked towards the pavilion. Qizi Hum hurriedly followed behind, Hum didn't give up, and kept talking,
"Brother Dashan, you can do it again, it won't take too much effort!"
Qizi had already seen that this dance had a special meaning to Dashan, so she reached out and pinched Humm's arm, Hum was in pain, but she quickly understood, and she finally shut up!
Returning to the table in the pavilion and sitting down, Zhu Zhu lay on the table and fell asleep, he was wearing a mink coat, he shouldn't feel cold! Dashan picked up the wine bowl again, ate the remaining half bowl in one bite, and then asked,
"Hey, I mean, how did you two get together?!"
The seventh son was busy,
"What does it mean to get mixed up, we just met by chance!"
Dashan smiled,
"You two live so far away, you can meet by chance, tsk, strange, strange!"
Hum hurriedly changed the topic and said,
"Brother Dashan, you won't be eating and drinking all the time, you have eaten until now!"
The mountains return to her,
"Yes, keep eating, look at it, this jar of wine is almost gone!"
The seventh son touched his forehead and said,
"I don't know how long I've been asleep, Brother Dashan, your amount of alcohol is really bottomless!"
Dashan poured a bowl of wine for everyone, and the jar was just dry, and he handed it to the seven sons. Qizi took the wine jar, got up with a smile, and went to drink! Soon back, Dashan ate half a bowl again, tsk, Qizi saw it, and also felt drunk and panicked!
Hum looked up at the sky, the moon had risen high, and there seemed to be a layer of mist around the round moon disk, which was very charming!
Hum couldn't help asking,
"It's so beautiful this month!"
Dashan also looked up and replied,
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the moon at this time, of course, is beautiful!"
As soon as he heard this, he immediately jumped up and screamed,
"What, Lantern Festival?Today, today is the Lantern Festival?!"
Qizi also felt very surprised, a few people traveled all the way, long lost the concept of time, sometimes looking at the moon at night, can only distinguish whether it is the beginning of the month or the middle of the month, that's all! Today is the Lantern Festival, which he didn't think of!
The mountains and the road,
"What's strange about this, isn't it normal?!"
Humming panted,
"You, you know it's the Lantern Festival, and you still want to stay here to eat and drink!"
The mountain asked her rhetorically,
"What's wrong with this? I like to eat this wine, yes!"
Hum stomped his feet angrily, and said,
"You, don't you really know how lively the Lantern Festival night market in Lin'an Mansion is, you waste such a good opportunity in vain, and you are embarrassed to eat and drink!"
The mountain laughed and replied,
"That's not to blame you, you didn't ask, how can I reply to you?!, besides, I'm not very interested in those things, and I haven't been looking for a tavern to eat and drink, how can I be more comfortable and happy here!"
Qizi thought to himself, it was said that when he entered the city, he saw a lot of lanterns and the like, and it turned out that it was the Lantern Festival. In fact, he also wanted to go and see it, but it was also his own negligence, so he missed it, and now, he can only stay in peace. Qizi looked at Na Yue'er again and said with a smile,
"If you go again at this time, I'm afraid there won't be anyone, haha, in my opinion, let's stay here and eat and drink!"
hummed a sullen breath, and hammered a fist on the stone table, although it was not very hard, but it woke Zhu Zhu up. Zhu Zhu immediately straightened up, and saw that there were three people around him, so he put his mind at ease, patted his chest and said,
"Ouch, but it scared the hell out of me!"
Hum Qi came and went quickly, and when I heard this, I laughed happily,
"Heh, you're finally awake, and the amount of alcohol is too bad, just how much you drink, and you're drunk and unconscious!"
Zhu Zhu touched his head and said suspiciously,
"Hey, you two, didn't you two get drunk a long time ago and go to the house to rest!"
Humming and laughing,
"Oh, you, but you're not so drunk, we've been here all along, and we've not been anywhere!"
Zhu Zhu shook his head, thought for a while, and then said,
"No, no, I remember that I personally sent you two back to rest, no, no!"
Humming and laughing, he added,
"You, you sent us back in a dream, haha, haha!"
Hum patted his thigh and laughed, and Qizi couldn't help laughing. Zhu Zhu looked at the two of them, and he was even more confused! He couldn't figure it out, and finally looked at the mountain for help, and said,
"Brother Dashan, what's going on with this, this?!"
Presumably he was also in a daze, so he didn't dare to believe what he had done before!
Dashan smiled slightly and pouted behind him, Zhu Zhu looked back, ouched, and then jumped up!
