26 The scholars on the bank of the bamboo water are down, and the single courtyard in the downtown alley is peaceful

When the two of them sailed, the night was very deep, and the seventh son only felt that it was not long before there was some light on the skyline. Many people live along the river, and gradually there are some lights.

"Brother Dashan, you can go down this river to Chengdu?"

Dashan nodded slightly, and said,

"Let's go slowly, just get there before dark. ”

Qizi had no idea how far he was, and he didn't expect to walk for such a long time, but he had always been respectful to the mountain and had no doubts. When the sky was bright, he found a burden in the stern of the boat, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh,

"Brother Dashan, you see that this Tang Sect disciple is really careful, this food and drink, yellow and white, and this self-defense, tsk, there are even dice! Alas, are you afraid that we will be too lonely and use it to kill time!"

Dashan took the dice and played,

"This thing is harmful, but it's harmless to play occasionally!"

The seventh son took out some wine and meat, and the two of them played with the dice while eating and drinking. The boat went down the water, drifting away.

The two sides of the river are fertile for thousands of miles, and you can't see the end at a glance, and the seven sons stand on the boat and watch, and can't help but sigh,

"No wonder it is called the land of abundance, it is so rich here, it is really a place where water and soil have nurtured a person!"

There are more families along the river, and there are more boats. The mountains and the road,

"It's so rich here, and Dujiangyan also has a lot of credit. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been many heroes on this fertile soil, and how many heroic stories have been passed down from generation to generation, and how many legends are happening! Chengdu has not changed its name since ancient times, and its heritage is so profound that it is difficult to estimate, and there are only few places in this world that can be compared with it. ”

The seventh son looked at the golden yellow on the fertile soil, and the wind blew the fragrance of rice, which made people fascinated.

"Brother Dashan, how is Chengdu compared to Dali City!"

Dashan smiled and replied to him.

"One in the sky, one in ......"

The seventh son has visited Dali City, and he also feels that it is very large, if there is really such a gap, then he really can't believe it! The stronger the expectation in his heart, he can't wait to rush to the city immediately to find out.

But the two did not increase their strength, but let the boat go on its own, until the stars appeared in the sky, and then they came to a river flow, and the two abandoned the boat and went ashore. The mountain slowly leads the way in front, and the seven sons look down to see that the streams here are vertical and horizontal, the forests are luxuriant, and several small lakes are hidden in the green bamboos, but they are a paradise for fish and birds. Not far away, there is a big lake, the length and width are dozens of zhang, there are a few fires by the lake, there should be people settled here. The mountain followed the path by the lake, and came to the huts in turn, and at last he found one, and without knocking on the door, he lifted it vigorously, and the latch inside was broken, and he entered the house.

The seventh son followed behind, only to feel someone shouting inside,

"Who is it! This broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, actually trespassed into a private house!"

The mountain shouted,

"It's night, how can it be broad daylight! Aren't you stupid to be a scholar!"

The people in the house said "Huh", turned on the lights and came out, and saw Dashan standing at the door, looking at Dashan from top to bottom, he thought for a moment and was surprised,

"Huh, Brother Xiaoyi, you, you, how do you have time to come!

Dashan laughed, grabbed his belt with both hands, and lifted the man up like a child, and the man was so frightened that it took a long time to fall back to the ground. The seventh son saw his scholarly appearance, but he was so light with such a size, but he was afraid that it was also caused by eating very little on weekdays and long-term malnutrition.

"Oh, Brother Xiaoyi, I can't stand such destruction!"

When the mountain saw that there was a small table, he sat down on it, and the seventh son followed, and the man made a gesture of goodwill to him, and went to the side of the mountain again. Dashan grabbed the straw paper next to the table and squinted a few times,

road

"It's getting better, it's good, it's good! It seems that this is indeed a good place to study!"

The man exhaled through his nostrils and laughed,

"I'm just copying a manuscript of Taibai's poems, if you say that, it's against your will!"

The mountain is very calm, and he says,

"How is the calligraphy skill I was talking about perfunctory?"

And the man laughed again, and said no more about it.

"By the way, why do you have time to come to me?

The man's eyes did not leave the mask of the mountain, and the mountain gently helped him, and said,

"Isn't this thing more handsome to wear! Another day, I'll find someone to give you a pair! This time, I'll just pass by, nothing special." ”

The man hurriedly waved his hand and said,

"I don't want it, it's scary, if you look in the mirror at night, when you're dazed, you won't scare yourself half to death!"

The mountains and the road,

"Why, now you only copy books for a living?"

The man smiled faintly,

"No more, no less, just enough to survive!"

The mountain nodded,

"Well, that's a lot! You buy this pile of broken books, and you still use so much paper every day, and you burn candles every day! Hey, it's not easy!"

But the man was glad,

"There is a lot of book smell here, so it is very comfortable to live!"

Dashan Road,

"Isn't it boring to be alone?"

The man smiled,

"It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it! Immerse yourself in the sea of books every day, but it's very exciting!"

The mountains and the road,

"Why don't I find you a woman!"

The man hurriedly waved his hand and said hurriedly,

"No, no, no!"

Dashan laughed, grabbed a book and fanned the wind,

"What's wrong, it's uncomfortable, how can you bear it!"

The man was about to speak again, and the mountain continued,

"Is there anything to eat?"

The man hurriedly found a few pieces of dry food, divided a few pieces and handed them to Dashan and Qizi, he said with a red face,

"That's all, first, will, I, I'll buy it tomorrow!"

Dashan was not polite, took it, chewed a few bites, and swallowed it raw,

"You don't just eat this on weekdays!"

The humanity,

"This thing can be stored for a long time without spoiling, and eating it will fight hunger, so I eat it most of the time. ”

Dashan shook his head and said,

"It's the ultimate to live a life like yours! No, I still have to do a favor and find a mother-in-law to clean up for you!"

The man was about to wave his hand, but the mountain pressed him down and said to the seven sons,

"We still have a lot of food, take it and give him a tooth sacrifice!"

Qizi smiled and opened the baggage, took out a large piece of fat and came out, when the man saw it, his eyes were full of light, and he thought that he had not eaten meat for too long to show such an expression. Dashan laughed, picked up a large piece, and stuffed it into the man's mouth. The man's tongue was flexible, and he rolled the fat into it in three times and two times, and he chewed it up, and the oil and water came out, and he was reluctant to drip it off, so he made his hands full of oil stains, and licked it off with his tongue.

"See the smile, laugh and laugh!"

The man spoke, but his eyes never left the flesh for a moment. The mountains were all handed to him, and he had to be polite,

"That's not good!"

The mountain simply took it back, and then he grabbed the meat,

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Dashan let go of his hand and was very relieved to see that his face was full of oil. The man left half of it and set it aside,

"Hey, hey, save it for tomorrow!"

The mountain smiled,

"Stay with you for one night, and I'll leave tomorrow morning!"

The man replied,

"Why are you in such a hurry, it's not too late to stay for ten days and a half months and then leave!"

Dashan said with a smile,

"Just like you, you still want to entertain the two of us? These thousands of broken books, I'm afraid they won't be sold for a few dollars, let's not bother us too much!"

The man shrunk his neck and said,

"Even if you sell me, you can't sell books! they're all my treasures!"

The mountains follow his example, saying,

"Look at your virtue! You light the lamp and write every day, and if you don't pay attention, hum! This thing doesn't burn, it only takes a while, tsk, it's gone!"

The man hurriedly replied,

"Don't talk nonsense, it's easy to get into trouble if you talk nonsense!"

Several people laughed for a while, and slept on the ground, although the scholar was thin and thin, he snored but did not fall into the wind, and the seventh son covered his ears desperately, so he barely fell asleep.

The seventh son woke up early in the morning of the second day, and there was no trace of the scholar, and the mountain found a fishing rod out of nowhere, and sat in front of the house to fish, and the seventh son stepped forward to see that he had caught a few small carp, and said with a smile,

"Brother Dashan, your fishing skills are gradually rising!"

Qizi learned his words yesterday, Dashan Youyou shouted twice, and when he mentioned a big carp, he laughed,

"Oh, yes, that's enough to eat a little bit! There are so many fish in this water, but that kid is born in the blessing and doesn't know how to be blessed!"

The seventh son helped hold down the fish, and smiled,

"Brother Dashan, don't you really want to find him a woman?"

Dashan smiled lightly and said,

"This is natural, find someone who can catch fish, cook some fish soup every day to make up for him, and ensure that after three or two months, his face will be full of red. ”

The two laughed for a while, the scholar came back, smiling, the seventh son saw him holding a rooster in one hand, the chicken struggled hard, almost broke free, the scholar then used both hands, it seems, this power to bind the chicken is still there.

"Let's eat chicken today!"

Dashan shook his head and said,

"I'm afraid it's enough for you to live for half a month!"

The scholar smiled and said,

"It's rare to waste once, and it's okay!"

The mountain nodded,

"It's just right, cook a pot of fish soup again, and have a good meal!"

The scholar doesn't know how to deal with chickens and fish, and only the seventh son can do it, he is also quick to deal with it, quickly clean it up, stew it simply, and the three of them eat meat, accompanied by the spirits prepared by the disciples of the Tang Sect, but also eat well. The scholar had not eaten wine and meat for too long, and this meal was really a round belly, and he quickly got drunk, fell asleep on the table, snoring loudly, and would burp after a while. Dashan carried him to the bed and came out with his seven sons.

"Seventh son, I said that I would invite the two of us to eat, but I let this kid eat it!

Qizi smiled, he had heard that Chengdu was extremely rich, and as the so-called eating more, he would also think about how to eat more comfortably, so here, delicious food is indispensable!

After a short walk, they came to a city wall, which winded for several miles, and there was no end in sight. The seventh son looked up again, only to feel that it was extremely majestic, with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Brother Dashan, this city wall looks very new, it seems to be much younger than that of Dali City!

Dashan thought for a moment and replied,

"How can there be a hundred or ten years, I heard that when the previous dynasty was in turmoil, there were barbarians who invaded Chengdu, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city worked together to build this city wall in a very short time, which is also a big miracle! There are many vendors inside and outside the city gate, if you want to eat some and have some fun, you can go and get it. ”

Qizi saw that this group of people was constantly coming and going, very lively, he bought some snacks and shared food with the mountains, and the two of them walked around while eating, and inadvertently entered the city. Not long after, when he arrived at a street, Qizi looked inside, only to find that there was a sea of people inside, and all kinds of cries were mixed together, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all. The two of them slowly squeezed in, and someone behind them squeezed them forward, and there were some new and interesting things that they couldn't stop and watch. The seventh son was squeezed so much that he was almost out of breath, and Dashan smiled helplessly and said,

"It's unfortunate, it's just in time for August 15, and there are too many people to have fun!"

The seventh son smiled,

"It's okay, it's good to take a look! I finally know the gap between Dali City and Chengdu!"

The mountain pointed to the side of the alley,

"Let's go over there, be quiet!"

The two squeezed into a small alleyway, the alley can only allow the two to staggered sideways, as soon as they came in, a fat woman in front of them stopped the two, she was slightly disliked, said,

"Didn't you see me come out, why don't you let me go first, if it's blocked, no one will be able to pass!"

She looked at Dashan with some curiosity, and wanted to ask again, Dashan retreated, signaling her to go first, the man nodded slightly, and came out of the alley, Qizi only felt that she had a fishy smell on her body, which was extremely strong.

After the woman left, there was no one else in the lane, the two walked in one after the other, and after turning a few small corners, it was a deep house, the seventh son took a look, and there were some doubts in his heart, and asked the mountain road,

"Brother Dashan, this is really strange, this alley is so narrow, it actually leads straight to a big mansion!"

The mountain smiled,

"Hidden in the middle of the city, there must be masters!"

Qizi looked forward to seeing the tall man, and gently patted the door knocker. After a while, a young man opened the door, and when the seventh son looked at this young man, he thought that this place had actually opened to do business, and he really couldn't figure out what kind of business could be done here! When the young man saw the two of them, he hurriedly beckoned them in, and the two of them were praised by others, and they couldn't stop having fun. Qizi suddenly stopped and whispered to the big mountain road,

"Brother Dashan, look, there are really masters!"

The mountain looked over there, and laughed,

"Yes, he's the master!"

The guy was very clever and asked immediately,

"It turned out to be an old customer, I'm going to call him over!"

Dashan nodded, and found a table and chair to sit down at random. Qizi looked around, only to feel that he was surrounded by a piece of greenery, the branches and grass curtains were trimmed extremely neatly, and the breath was full of the fragrance of grass leaves. No matter how noisy it was outside, it was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of distant guests touching their cups and bowls could be heard clearly.

"Brother Dashan, it's so strange here, are all people who come here just drinking tea?"

Dashan saw the tall man coming this way, and pouted to the seventh son, who looked back and involuntarily raised his head and listened to the man.

"Do you recognize me?"

The mountain got up and snorted softly,

"Up!"

The master's hands subconsciously hugged together, the mountain body bounced, stepped on the master's hands, flew out a few feet with the force, and settled steadily!

"Oops! Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!"

Dashan laughed, and when he walked to the man's side, Qizi only felt that the two of them looked very funny like this. Dashan is not small, but the top of his head can just reach the navel of the tall man, and the tall man is extremely thin, and it looks like he is going to be a few points taller!

"Xiao Gao, you've grown a lot taller!"

The master smiled and replied,

"It's sad to always grow taller, but it hasn't grown for more than ten years!"

The mountain asked again,

"You're taking care of this place right now, but it's not very popular!"

The master smiled and said,

However, today is the fifteenth day of August, and there may not be too many people, just because most people will go to the south gate to watch a good show, or go to the Wenshu Monastery to worship the Buddha, and then enjoy the lanterns there. However, drama is still indispensable, and today's show is exactly the good show of Zhang Fei Zhang Yide rejecting the water and breaking the bridge! Over the years, our brothers have run it together, and it is quite passable. ”

After the master finished speaking, he also danced with his hands, and the seventh son saw that he was not very agile because he was too tall, and this kind of action was indeed very interesting. The master left for a while, brought melons and fruits over with a small sustenance, two pots of sake warmed with heat, and took over, with some heat.

"You use it first, I'll go over and help!"

The mountain signaled that it was okay, and the master went, leaving only the two to drink and eat melons.

"Brother Dashan, is this a place to sing?"

Qizi pointed to a high platform over there, and Dashan nodded and said,

"Singing, juggling and storytelling, etc., although in the middle of the city, there are high walls separating each other, and when there is no one on weekdays, it is really a good place for leisure. ”

The seventh son asked again,

"I've heard and seen a lot of stories about the Three Kingdoms, but I don't know how to tell them here. ”

The mountains return to him,

"Let's not be in a hurry, just stay a little longer, and we'll see for a while. ”

The young man brought a large plate of beef, and the seventh son saw that the beef was black in appearance, which was not unusual, so he picked up a piece, broke it in half, and handed it to Dashan. Dashan opened his mouth to eat, but Qizi was much slower, he saw that the beef was black on the outside and red on the inside, with a little pepper and hemp fragrance, put it in his mouth, it was very soft, and when he chewed it gently, it would be broken, and the taste overflowed, and it was extremely satisfying in an instant. The Seventh Son exclaimed,

"Tsk! This beef is so fragrant, fluffy and moderate, and it doesn't stuff your teeth! It's delicious!"

The guy gave a thumbs up and said,

"This little brother is knowledgeable! This beef is a secret system, and it is the signboard in our yard! Every day before dawn, someone comes to grab it, and where can this small alley outside, thanks to our sister Shi'en, this can stop them! This small plate is still specially left by Gao Gao'er, saying that he wants to prepare some, so as not to meet an old friend who has nothing to entertain! I see that he recognizes you, so I will say a few more words to you, otherwise, he will open his mouth to scold me! Also, this beef, it is really not easy to get! The government forbids the killing of cultivated cattle, and this beef was also obtained by our sister Shi En! It's just a little bit every day, and we don't have to eat it when it's sold out, and we haven't eaten it for a long time!"

Qizi thought to himself, this Dali country is not allowed to kill cattle at will, but when you are old and sick, you can still serve it if you have no labor, and it is the same in this regard. He asked casually,

"Is this beef also made by Sister Shi En?"

The man replied,

"Yes, no one knows the secret recipe but her!"

Qizi nodded, and was about to say a few more words, but the guy glanced outside, and immediately became excited, shouting into the distance,

"Sister Shi'en, come on, listen to Boss Gao, these two are also your old acquaintances!"

Qizi looked back, only to see that the fat woman he met at the entrance of the alley just now had entered the courtyard, carrying a large cow leg on her shoulder, the cow leg should have just been unloaded, and there were blood droplets coming down.
