Chapter 343: Thin Wine is Intoxicating

The two hugged each other and were about to jump off the cliff. Hu Qiong was prepared, hurriedly ran over, and stretched out his hand to pull the two over.

Xiao Qian asked in a panic, "Who are you?"

Hu Qiong said: "I'm a passerby, why do you want to jump off the cliff?"

Xiao Qian said: "My father doesn't allow us to be together, and we will die together." ”

Hu Qiong asked, "Why doesn't your father allow you to be together, don't you think he's good?"

Xiaoqian said: "My father thinks his family is poor. ”

Hu Qiong smiled: "I think his family is poor, and I recruit you to your family, isn't it?"

Xiao Qian glanced at Brother Li and said, "My father doesn't like him." ”

Hu Qiong asked, "Don't you think his family is poor?"

Xiao Qian said: "I don't, I want to be with Brother Li, I am willing to eat chaff vegetables, as long as I am with him." ”

At this time, there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain, and the lanterns and torches were connected in a line, and they walked towards the mountain.

Xiao Qian said: "My father is chasing after me." Brother Li, let's run. ”

Brother Li pulled Xiaoqian, raised his eyes, there was only one road down the mountain to go, there was a group of people at the bottom of the mountain rushing up, if you wanted to escape, you had to jump off the cliff, but just now Hu Qiong blocked them, and both of them lost the courage to jump off the cliff.

The two of them were standing on the cliff, hesitating, and the group of people under the mountain had caught up. The leader of the man, in his fifties, with a short figure and a fat round face, was exactly what the rich man looked like, and a group of people walked up the mountain and stood on the cliff to the brim.

The rich man hated and said: "Ruan Li, you are so bold, you dare to seduce my daughter, come here, tie him up, and throw him off the cliff." ”

The rich man's surname was Li, and his daughter Li Qian stepped forward to protect Ruan Li and shouted, "Dad, if you throw him down, I won't live anymore." ”

The rich man gasped for breath and cried out, "Tie him up and throw him off the cliff." ”

Li Qian took Ruan Li's hand, took a step back, stood in front of the cliff, and said to her father: "You forced us." "Jumped.

The rich man Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Xiaoqian, you listen to your father, come over quickly." He stepped forward and grabbed Li Qian's sleeve, pulled her over, turned his head and shouted to the servant: "What are you still doing in a daze? Throw Ruan Li off the cliff for me." ”

Four servants rushed forward, grabbed Ruan Li, and were about to throw him off the cliff.

"Wait. Hu Qiong couldn't help but shout on the side.

The rich man asked, "Who are you, and how dare you meddle in our affairs?"

Hu Qiong asked, "The two of them want to be together, why should you stop them?"

Li Caizhu said: "Is this poor boy also worthy of marrying my Xiaoqian?"

Hu Qiong said: "Why is he poor? I think he is strong and strong, and as long as he works hard, he can get rich." ”

Li Caizhu said: "He has no tiles on the top and no fields on the bottom, how can he get rich?"

Hu Qiong turned around and walked to the place where he had just slept, picked up the package, opened it, and took out a small bag from it, which contained fifty taels of silver, he had just walked out of his home in Jingzhou, and the package contained a lot of entanglements, and in Yiling City, the prefect also paid tribute to a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Hu Qiong opened the small baggage, revealing the silver taels inside, and said: "The two of them are affectionate and very compatible, don't break them up." These fifty taels are the capital I made a fortune for him. Look, is it enough?"

In the Wuxia area, the mountains are poor and the water is bad, the land is barren, the water and drought are connected, and the mountain people are very poor. The rich man thought to himself, fifty taels can buy dozens of mountains, if all the orange trees are planted, is he also a small rich man?

The rich man Li asked, "Childe, are you joking?"

Hu Qiong said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." He stepped forward and handed the little burden to Ruan Li, who took the burden stupidly like a dream, and couldn't even say a word.

Hu Qiong slapped his palms and said, "Now, you should believe it." ”

The rich man had also walked out of the mountains, and he had some insight, and when he saw what Hu Qiong did, he couldn't help but believe it, so he smiled on his old face and said: "As long as Ruan Li has nobles to help, he is considered to be a lucky star, what else can I say?"

Hu Qiong saw that the good thing had been accomplished, and her heart was also very happy, so she also explained a few words to Ruan Li: "You collect the money, you have it, you can't change your mind, if you want to change your mind, I won't spare you, and I will come here in a few months." ”

Seeing that Ruan Li had fifty taels of silver and was already a small rich man, the rich man suddenly recognized him in his heart, so he took a step forward and said, "This is his great blessing, he wants to change his mind, how can I spare him." ”

Ruan Li and Li Qian were supposed to die together tonight, but they didn't want to achieve a marriage, the two glanced at each other, and they both knelt down for Hu Qiong and kowtowed. Hu Qiong hurriedly helped them up, and explained to Ruan Li:

"Be sure to be nice to Xiaoqian. ”

"Definitely, definitely. Ruan Li couldn't stop agreeing.

The two young men were rejoicing. The rich man had some insight, hurriedly walked over, and asked Hu Qiong: "May I ask the noble person's name, why is it in the deep mountains and mountains?"

Hu Qiong said briefly that he came from Jingzhou and went to Wuxia Ningzhen Temple.

The rich man said, "Master Hu, please come to my house for one night." ”

Hu Qiong achieved this beautiful thing in the world, and she was also happy, so she agreed to go to the rich man's house for the night.

The rich man led a group of people, led Hu Qiong's horse, led Hu Qiong, lit lanterns and torches, hugged him back and forth, and led Hu Qiong to the bottom of the mountain. It is a col with dozens of homes and lush orange trees all over the surrounding hillsides.

The rich man's family is indeed a wealthy family in the village, and the house is neat. When I arrived at the house, it was late at night, Hu Qiong simply washed it, and was let into a small room, went to bed, and didn't say anything all night.

On the second day, the rich man ordered his family to kill a sheep to entertain the guests. Before noon, the relatives and friends of the rich man Li came, set up a table of eight immortals in the hall, and put the prepared mutton, and even Ruan Li was invited to sit at a table and drink with Hu Qiong.

The sake is the village's own grain sake. Hu Qiong knew how powerful this wine was, so she didn't dare to drink it in a big gulp. The relatives and friends of the Li family took turns to come up to toast, and Li Qian also put aside the girl's shyness, and also came up and toasted Hu Qiong a few bowls of wine. Hu Qiong was already drunk and couldn't leave, and he still slept at Rich Li's house at night.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Hu Qiong's mind came to his senses. was about to say goodbye, but was picked up by Ruan Li's family again, and when he walked to his house, he was really poor, with a few crooked houses, without a single tile on them, covered with straw, and a few tree poles supporting the walls that were about to collapse.

When the guests arrived, the house was cleaned up in advance. After killing two old hens, Ruan Li went to the ditch and touched a bamboo basket of crucian carp, fried fish again, and boiled crucian carp soup.

The dishes are not hearty, but they are all delicious farmhouse dishes. The family sat down around Hu Qiong, still drinking Baogu wine. The Ruan family also had several poor relatives, who also took turns to come over to toast Hu Qiong, and after a while, Hu Qiong was drunk again.

It was only the next morning that Hu Qiong got up and insisted on leaving. When the rich man Li heard the news, he also rushed to give gifts, but Hu Qiong insisted on refusing. Seeing that he was leaving, Li Caizhu came up with an idea: "Hu Gongzi wants to go to Ningzhenguan, walk along the river, the road is close, but the road is difficult to walk, it is better to go to the southwest, and then go to the northwest, although the road is detoured, but you can ride a horse, but you can get there first." ”

Hu Qiong told Ruan Li that he should treat Li Qian well, and when the mountains of oranges were yellow, he would come to see them. Ruan Li was full of promises. Hu Qiong said goodbye to everyone and rode away on horseback according to the path pointed out by the rich man Li.

I walked on the road for a few days. On this day, Hu Qiong could already see the goddess peak on the horizon, but saw the goddess peak standing on the top of the mountains, with a slender posture, bathed in the gorgeous morning glow, exuding colorful light, and there were cranes flying around it.

Hu Qiong led the horse, walked seven or eight miles, and walked to the Chajiang River. On the other side of the river is the view of condensation. There are several small boats moored at the foot of the mountain. Hu Qiong took a boat to the other side of the river, went ashore, and handed over the horse to the boat for grazing. Hu Qiong stepped on the steps and walked up, and the mountain was Ning Zhenguan.

Come to visit again, Hu Qiong's heart is surging, step by step on the stone steps, towards the Ningzhen Temple, a year apart, the forest is still the same, the fragrance is the same, last year's people came to walk again.

Hu Qiong walked to the Ningzhen Temple and walked into the main hall, the hall was full of real people, dignified and dignified, and his clothes were flying, Hu Qiong knelt on the ground sincerely, and kowtowed a few times to the real people. Fu stood up and walked to the back of the hall, behind which was a small garden, there was no longer the sound of swords, and the clouds had passed by, and her shadow seemed to have just passed away.

Out of the small garden, down the steps down the hill, down the hill, five or six miles south, there is a pavilion in sight. Hu Qiong walked to the pavilion, where there was a fork in the road that led to the northwest. Hu Qiong walked up the mountain road. Along the way, mountain flowers are smiling in the branches, wild birds are singing in the forest, and a small stream is flowing at the feet.
