Chapter 49: A Visit to Jinan Springs

Leng Yuhu was walking slowly with the thin horse, and suddenly heard a coquettish voice: "Brother Tiger", turned his head, and stopped beside him in a sedan chair, and Zhao Yu walked out of the sedan chair.

Leng Yuhu asked suspiciously, "Miss Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yu said: "Half a month ago, my uncle went to Yangzhou to be an official, and my aunt also followed me to the post. ”

Leng Yuhu said happily: "That's good, let's go back to Yangzhou." ”

Zhao Yu snorted: "What, how embarrassed to trouble again......

Leng Yuhu said: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, I have nothing to do anyway," patted the burden on the thin horse's back with his hand, and said, "We still have so many entanglements, isn't it enough for us to play in the mountains and rivers?"

Zhao Yu smiled: "Then I'm not welcome." ”

Leng Yuhu smiled heartily: "It's very good, let's go to Yangzhou, I heard that Yangzhou has a good scenery." Li Bai Shiyun: The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen. ”

Leng Yuhu has been holding "Li Taibai Collection" in his hand these days, and he keeps reciting it, this time he said that he was going to Yangzhou, and he thought of this poem in the poetry collection. Zhao Yu saw Leng Yuhu chanting poetry, and also aroused the poetry, and casually chanted: "The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn." On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade teach?"

Leng Yuhu said: "The poem I read is Yin Chunjing, is your poem about autumn scenery, or is your poem suitable for the current autumn scene." ”

The two talked about poetry and walked forward. Leng Yuhu said: "Jinan is a famous spring city, we are all here for the first time, since we are here, we will play in the city for a few days, and it is not too late to go down to Yangzhou." ”

Zhao Yu was also delighted: "Okay." ”

Leng Yuhu and the two found a big inn to live in. After lunch, the two went shopping. Zhao Yu was wearing apricot yellow clothes, walking in the weaving crowd in this northern autumn city, which was particularly bright and shining. Although the cold jade tiger was pasted with a beard, he was holding a folding fan and walking upright, his voice was neither high nor low, and his literary quality was polite and heroic. The two walked on the lively street, attracting the envy of many people.

On the second day, Leng Yuhu inquired about understanding, and came to Black Tiger Spring with Zhao Yu in twists and turns. In the distance, I faintly heard the sound of the spring like a tiger's roar. There are a few people watching the spring by the pool, the two of them come to the front, look at the spring by the railing, only to see that there are three tiger heads on the stone wall, the spring water spews out from the tiger's mouth, such as three small white dragons rushing to the pool, the white dragon body is more than two zhang long, the water is surging, the momentum is magnificent, breathtaking. Leng Yuhu praised: "Seventy-two springs in Jinan, this can be regarded as the first spring." ”

Before Zhao Yu could answer, there was an old man next to him, with a thin yellow face and a white goatee, and he said, "It's not the first spring in Jinan." ”

Leng Yuhu asked, "Uncle, which spring can be regarded as the first spring?"

The old man said: "Baotu Spring can be regarded as the first spring, there are poems to chant ......" said, he shook his head and chanted, "The water originates in the world, and the white jade pot gushes out of the flat ground." ”

Leng Yuhu listened, and thought: "The springs in the world are like this, a spring is better than a spring, and the mountains in the world are also like this, a mountain can be seen as high as a mountain." I used to be in Wudang Mountain, I thought I was good at swordsmanship, how do I know that I can go down the mountain, travel through the rivers and lakes, only to know that there are more powerful masters, it is really a limit to learning martial arts, no wonder the master asked me to go down the mountain. Standing by the spring pool, he thought again: "If Cui Mei is here, she may also have my feelings." ”

Leng Yuhu and the two walked around the spring pool, looking at the gushing black tiger spring from different angles. There is a strange stone beside the pool, engraved with the three big characters of "Black Tiger Spring", go forward along the spring source, there is a deep hole in front of the mountain cliff, the two people look into the dark hole with their eyes, there is a huge stone faintly in the deep hole, black and swarthy, decorated with moss, really like a tiger squatting in it. There is an inscription poem at the entrance of the cave, and Leng Yuhu read to Zhao Yu: "Shipanshui Mansion is pale, and the depths are like black tigers. In the middle of the night, the wind blew the stones and cracked, and the moon was like light with a clear whistle. He turned his head to Zhao Yu and said: "According to this poem, looking at this black tiger spring, it is really good to come at night, and you can hear the tiger roar of the fountain." ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "In the night, everything is quiet, and the water is excited to the pillar stone, so that you can listen to the clear and clear of its tiger roar." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "After we see the first spring, Baotu Spring, we will come to the moonlit night to look for the tiger's roar." ”

There is a tea shed next to the Black Tiger Spring, and the two of them are a little tired from walking, so they sit in the tea shed to drink tea and rest. At noon, look for the famous food of Jinan nearby. After dinner, I walked around the Black Tiger Spring again, and saw more than a dozen small springs, each with its own characteristics and not the same. In the evening, the two returned to the inn satisfied.

On the third day, Leng Yuhu and the others no longer took the initiative to inquire about the location of the spring, but only walked towards the city. Seeing a place, the pines and cypresses are green, the willows are lightly blowing, and the pavilions are lined up, which is an elegant place. Zhao Yu pointed with his hand: "This is a good place." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "Why don't you go for a walk." ”

The two walked into the boulevard, the emerald dyed clothes, the birds chirped, walked a hundred and ten steps, and suddenly saw a rockery, and the two walked towards the rockery unconsciously. Walk to the front, the original rockery is a spring pond in front of the rockery, the pool water is as clear as a mirror, there is nothing strange at first glance, the two of them look down carefully, only to see a bubble emerging from the bottom of the pool, such as pearls, shiny, floating out at the bottom of the pool, these pearls gather and scatter, intermittent, rapid and slow, jumping beads splashing snow. What's even better is that there are many small goldfish in the pool, and they also spit blisters in their mouths, and these bubbles are mixed with the bubbles that come out of the bottom of the pool, which is wonderful.

Zhao Yu praised: "It's really a pearl spring." ”

Leng Yuhu pointed to the rockery with his hand and said, "Isn't it Pearl Spring?" It turns out that the rockery is engraved with the word "Pearl Spring".

Zhao Yu said: "This pearl spring is so wonderful, I don't know what is more magical about the first spring?"

Leng Yuhu was about to answer, but he saw a group of people coming out from in front of the pavilion over there, and a splendid boy in the middle walked towards this side with three or four people. The boy held a folding fan in his hand and pointed to this side, and the people who followed him shouted: "Who is so bold as to dare to break into the forbidden land of the little prince?"

Leng Yuhu whispered to Zhao Yu: "Someone has come to defeat the fun." ”

But when they were about to leave, the group approached, and one followed and shouted: "The man gets out of the way, and the beautiful woman stays." ”

Leng Yuhu sneered: "What if you don't leave?"

The group said: "You are killing yourself, don't blame the uncle for being ruthless." ”

One person swung his fist and hit Leng Yuhu, Leng Yuhu sneered, kicked him into the pool with one kick, and splashed with a "plop". "It's the other way around. The remaining three rushed towards Leng Yuhu together, Leng Yuhu spread his fists and feet, "lunge punching", "single wind piercing ears", "tiger fighting style", "dragon tail", three punches and two kicks knocked them into the pool. Leng Yuhu took Zhao Yu's slender hand, and the two left quickly.

There are no pursuers behind, I think they are soaked and embarrassed, and it is inconvenient to chase them. The two walked through an alley, came to the lively street, blended into the bustling crowd, and it was difficult to find the two of them.

Walking in the crowd, the two held hands, talking and laughing. This is the first time Leng Yuhu has held Zhao Yu's hand, holding her slender hand, feeling happy, the two of them are sweet in their hearts, who would think about breaking up?

In the early morning of this day, Leng Yuhu and the two came to visit Baotu Spring. In the distance, I heard a roar of applause from the crowd. The two hurriedly walked to the front of the spring, only to see that the spring surface is more than two acres big, surrounded by stones, surrounded by carved railings, looking at the spring surface has more than a dozen springs of different sizes, especially the three springs in the middle are big, the spring water gushes, as big as a wheel, the gushing is more than three feet high, surging and spurting. Suddenly, there was a faint thunder sound, the three springs tried to spray, there were more than five feet high, and to the waves to see the jade tower, the visitors on both sides were roaring again, as if the spring water was strong, the spring water was also very angry, and it was sprayed several times upwards in a row, and then it returned to the original state.

This Baotu Spring can be regarded as a famous spring in the world, Leng Yuhu and the two of them were thrilled to see that the spring water was clear, and some old men and grandmothers scooped water with wooden scoops to wash their eyes. There is a tea shed next to it, the two of them walked into the tea shed, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child wiped the tea bowl clean, Leng Yuhu and the two sat down, and the child made the tea. Leng Yuhu asked, "Is it the water in this spring pool?"

The child said: "Is it the water in this pool, the guest officer tastes it, and sees if it is sweet?"

Leng Yuhu took a sip, tasted it in his mouth, there was a faint hint of sweetness, and said, "Not bad!"

The child's mouth was sweet: "You two, drink slowly." ”

Leng Yuhu and the two sat in the tea shed and tasted tea, looking at the willows by the pond to get the heat of the spring water, although it was autumn, it was still verdant, and the branches were swaying. Leng Yuhu said to Zhao Yu: "I really don't come to see it with my own eyes, I really can't imagine that this world's number one famous spring has such a prestige." ”

Zhao Yu said: "It's worth the trip. ”

The two sat and spoke slowly. Suddenly, Zhao Yu's face changed suddenly, and Leng Yuhu felt that someone behind him reached out and stuck his neck.
