Chapter 214: What I Saw and Heard on the Way

Going to the Nanchen River crossing, the people are noisy, the winding or straight official road traders and pedestrians come and go, the sound of cars and horses is impatient, the pot-bellied merchants bargain with the boats crossing the river, and on the river in the distance, the fishing captain rows over the canopy boat, shouting for his son to pull up the net, and the white scales of the fish reflect the dusk, and the clapping sound in the net.

"Dude checkout...... Serve a few more cakes and add a bowl of herbal tea!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The tea shed on the side of the road was noisy, and many of the passengers who crossed the river in the past stopped here to quench their thirst, and the shopkeeper responded: "Here it is!" passed a piece of firewood into the stove, patted the dust, and hurriedly went over with the teapot and the cake.

Ding Ding Ding... The bell rang from outside, and the guy was settling the bill for a table of guests, and when he looked outside, a scholar in a green coat and a white robe brought the old donkey over and tied the reins to the stake outside.

hurriedly laughed and greeted: "This guest officer, you sit first, and the small one will come after settling the tent of this table." ”

Lu Liangsheng tightened the rope, patted the donkey's head, and said in a low voice:

"There are a lot of people here, so don't run around. ”

Only then did he sit down at the empty table and nodded to the shopkeeper Xiao Er: "You are busy first." ”

After a while, the guy came over and pulled down the rag on his shoulder, wiped the tabletop, and asked: "This guest officer, what do you order, the tea in the small shop is a penny, you can continue after drinking, no additional money will be charged, in addition, there are cakes with mutton foam, which is guaranteed to make you enjoy eating." ”

"Well, then a bowl of herbal tea and two lamb patties. ”

"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer. ”

The guy put on the rag and turned around and walked to the stove, Lu Liangsheng took a pair of chopsticks and put them in front of him, in front of him was the ferry, and the passengers were sent to the road, and he couldn't see the gloom of the approaching war.

"Guest officer, your herbal tea and mutton cakes are so cold this day, and the cakes should be eaten while they are hot. ”

The guy put the things ordered by the scholar on the table before leaving, but was called by Lu Liangsheng.

"Wait, little brother. ”

"What's the matter with the guest officer?"

Lu Liangsheng picked up the bowl, picked his chin, showed the scene of pedestrians on the road, and asked him.

"I heard that there is going to be a war, why are there so many people here?"

The war is all together, and it is said that there should be a rumor around it, but this appearance is more than the description in the book.

"Hi... It's the Southern Dynasty, what do we have to do, besides, the dynasty has changed, everyone is also a Sui person, and you can't be bullied by your own family when you are a soldier, right?"

The chatterbox opened, and seeing that there were no customers entering the store at the moment, the man pulled out the bench and sat down on one side.

"Listen to the accent of the guest official should be south of the river, to put it mildly, what's good in the south, the previous emperor wrote poems and repaired buildings, the emperor didn't look like an emperor, and he also got the wives of the generals under his command, this emperor should die......! Tsk..."

The guy snorted a few times in his mouth, shook his head and said: "How can you resist the tiger and wolf army of our Great Sui, guest officer, I advise you not to go back, it is easy to get a mother-in-law with your appearance, and it's not good to stay here." ”

On the other side, Lu Liangsheng took a sip of tea and swallowed the meatloaf, and said with a smile when he saw what this guy said.

"Look at it this way, you really like the emperor of this new dynasty,"

"Hey, look at what the guest officer said, who doesn't like the new one. ”

The guy looked left and right and no one was paying attention, pinched the rag and gently wiped it on the table a few times.

"Your Majesty today, it is much better than the emperor of the previous dynasty, not to mention that this accession to the throne will give amnesty to the world, my brother-in-law was arrested for drinking and fighting with people on the street, and I am thinking about how much money to fish people out, now it's a good time to catch up, my mother-in-law these days, burn incense and kowtow to Your Majesty every day......"

Chirping...

"Man, the stove water is boiling!"

Approaching the table at the head of the stove, a guest shouted, and the shopkeeper who wanted to say more counted it up and put on a rag: "Guest officer, you use it slowly, I have to mix tea." ”

"You're busy. ”

Lu Liangsheng replied politely, his eyes swept over the tea shed full of guests, as well as the merchants and travelers who came and went from outside to rest and eat something, there was no seat, a bowl of herbal tea and a cake was held, and he squatted at the door while eating and drinking, laughing with his companions, talking and laughing heartily when it came to fun.

Yang Jian seems to be really a wise man. ’

When he saw each other that day and night, when he left, he actually heard the sentence asking him to be the national teacher of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately the Chen Dynasty teased, Lu Liangsheng had some scruples, and the cultivator stood in the middle of the court, if he met an unknown king, it was easy to be suspicious, and then he would be called a 'trick', it would be ridiculous.

'Forget it, forget it, cultivate my Tao well, and teach those three disciples to talk about it. ’

Thinking of this, Lu Liangsheng shook his head and smiled, and drank the tea.

After greeting the guests, the man still wanted to have a few words with the kind scholar, but when he turned his head, there was no one in the seat, and only a few copper coins were left on the table.

"This scholar is really amazing... In the blink of an eye, the person is gone. ”

......

The scholar who was read of it, led the old donkey along the official road to the south less than half a mile, stepped on the ferry, has sailed to the river, the bow of the boat is unstable, but the vision is excellent, looking at the direction of the east of the river, the bottom of the eyes containing mana, as if seeing the water village with the flag fluttering in the distance.

"The guest officer at the bow of the boat, when you have seen enough, hurry down, the bow of the boat is bumpy, be careful to fall into the water. ”

The boatman was most afraid of carrying this kind of literati and elegant guests, and he was about to go to the bow of the ship to stand together, but he didn't see the poetry and make the eternal articles.

"It's not that the old man scared you, last time there were four guys, just like the guest officer, the four of them had to squeeze to the bow of the boat to chant poetry, but a wave came, and the four were all planted in the water, but fortunately, the old man and the dog had good water quality, so they were fished up!"

At the stern of the boat, the young man paddling echoed and nodded.

"What my father said is true, but speaking of which, those four are still regular customers, and they have spent it on a heavy rainy day before, and besides, my father and I met a fairy that day. ”

Lu Liangsheng didn't make it difficult for the father and son of the boatman, got down from the bow of the boat, and stayed by the old donkey, listening to their chattering and disturbing conversations, talking about crossing the river that day and night, and the other three or four boatmen also stayed quietly aside, so they should be used as a pastime to relieve boredom.

"Don't you know, the fairy is also like that scholar, leading an old donkey, that night, lightning and thunder ......"

When it came to the crab roe on the rod, the boat also reached the opposite shore.

Lu Liangsheng took the old donkey and said goodbye to get off the boat and left, still talking, the son's son was suddenly pulled by the father, and saw that the other passengers had disembarked, and the old man turned out a stick of incense out of nowhere and lit it.

"Dad, what are you doing? ”

"Did you notice the scholar leading the donkey just now?"

The boatman lit the incense, raised it above his head, bowed respectfully to the shore and saluted three times, and only when he inserted the gap in the plank did he open his mouth to say the latter sentence.

“... That scholar, like the one I met that night?!"

When the boatman mentioned this, the young man suddenly widened his eyes and slapped his thigh.

"No wonder as soon as I got on the boat, I felt inexhaustible, it turned out that the fairy was on our boat again. ”

"You also come to worship, leave quickly after worshipping, this side of the south bank is not very peaceful. ”

The captain urged, and when he saw that his son had finished worshipping, he pushed the boat back into the river with a rod in his hand, and went back to the ferry where he came.

The sky was getting dark.

Lu Liangsheng took the old donkey and looked at the sky, there were not many stars and moons in autumn, and in the dark night, there were still a few houses around with lights.

"At this time, it is estimated that other families will not let strangers stay overnight. ”

Walking up the foothills, I walked along the mountain road for a while, and in the yin forest in front of me, there was a dilapidated small temple standing.

"Master, Hong Lian, let's make do here tonight. ”

Walk into the temple, there are not too many traces of dilapidation, the god in the middle is like a fierce fang, holding an iron fork, stepping on a big green snake, it should be a mountain god, the incense burner in front of it also burns incense paper ashes, it seems that more than ten families nearby, often come to clean and worship.

"Excuse me, Lu Liangsheng of Qixia Mountain borrowed a night here. ”

Living in the temple to see the ceremony, no matter whether the mountain god has a sense of God, should be respectful or respectful, and be polite can not be forgotten.

The old donkey was led to the side, and the bookshelf flew to the ground out of thin air, and the toad man pushed open the small door, yawned and came out, stretching out his webs to keep warm by the fire.

"Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry for the teacher. ”lt;/tentgt;
