As soon as the rainy season in Jinling is over, it is time for me to travel out of the village.

My brother always asked me where I was going, but I didn't think about it. On that day, Master said that since there was no idea, it would be decided by drawing lots. I took out a stick from the wooden tube under the gaze of the four people, Master, Senior Brother, Senior Brother and Little Boy, and Senior Brother couldn't wait to read it for me: "Thirteen Towns of Chang'an." ”

When my brother came back from his travels, he talked to me about many places, but he had never heard of the name of the Thirteen Towns of Chang'an. Master said that starting from Jinling, walk along the northwest direction, pass through Sunset Town, Qingquan Mountain, Shangdu, Jingshui, Bianzhou, and then ride a good horse to drive the mountain road for two days to see Chang'an, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you will know where the thirteen towns of Chang'an are.

Master, the old man also took out a letter from under the box and handed it to me, asking me to go to the Thirteen Towns of Chang'an and give it to a person named Yun Lanci by the way. I saw that the old envelope was solemnly written with four big characters "Lan Ci personally opened", and the seal was branded with a gold seal, and the master looked like he wanted to speak and kept silent. I said, "Master, this woman named Lan Ci can't be the master, right?"

"Nonsense!" Master glared at me with a red face, and he knocked on my head and said, "This trip is mainly based on rich knowledge, remember not to force your way out, but to know how to fight and outwit." In addition, it is good to be able to make a few friends, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the heart of guarding against others is also indispensable. In short, the girl's family needs to be cautious when she is away from home. ”

I listened and nodded. In the end, I saw that the master's face showed a complicated expression, and he repeatedly told him to keep this letter properly and hand it over to Yun Lanci, who lived in the thirteen towns of Chang'an.

The days of travel are getting closer and closer. In the past few days, I often go out of the villa and wander around this Jinling City alone. Although I came back after the trip, this was the first time I had gone out alone, and I was quite attached to this bustling and legendary Jinling City. In the past, I listened to the rivers and lakes in Meng Yunsheng's story, but now I am about to fall into it, and I don't know if I can become a character in his story when I return.

I walked crankily on the streets of Jinling, looking forward to it and sad for a while. At this time, a tall and thin sword-hugging knight with a bamboo pole came to him, dressed in white, and walked in a hurry. When I looked at it, it was an acquaintance, Liu Thin.

Liu Slender Man stopped and clenched his fists, "Woman." ”

I salute in return," Willow Skinny. ”

Although he was anxious, he still greeted me, "I heard that you are going to go on a trip, have you thought of a place to go?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, go to the Thirteen Towns of Chang'an." ”

Liu Slender frowned, "Where are the thirteen towns of Chang'an?"

"It's in Chang'an. "I told Liu Shouzi about Master's words, "My master said, starting from Jinling, walking along the northwest direction, passing through Sunset Town, Qingquan Mountain, Shangdu, Jingshui, Bianzhou, and then riding a good horse to drive the mountain road for two days to see Chang'an, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you will know where the thirteen towns of Chang'an are." ”

Liu Slender suddenly shook his head like a big realization, and suddenly frowned again and asked me, "You said you want to pass through Qingquan Mountain?"

"Yes, Qingquan Mountain. ”

"That-" Slender Willow slowly stretched his brows and clenched his fists at me again, "I have something I want to ask the woman for help." ”

"It doesn't hurt for you to talk. ”

"It is rumored that Qingquan Mountain gathers the qi of heaven and earth, gathers the glow of the sun and the moon, and is a place for casting swords and refining treasures, so there are many famous swordsmiths and utensils. In a few months, it will be my eldest brother's half a hundred birthdays, and I want to ask the woman to go to Qingquan for me to fight a good sword as a gift for my eldest brother's birthday. ”

"It's easy to do. "I immediately came down," and when I get to Qingquan Mountain, I will choose some exquisite styles from several sword-forging houses, and I will fly pigeons and pass on the book to you. ”

"Woman, refreshed!" Liu Slender Man hugged my fist for the third time, "I, Liu Slender Son, owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay it in the future." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

After saying goodbye to Liu Slender Man, I continued walking along Jinling Street. There was some shouting and noise ahead, and it was to the market. The first shop in the market is a shop that sells pork, and at this moment, Long Dahan, who calls himself the "pig killing knife", is lifting a big knife to chop the pork on the board heavily.

"Isn't this a heroine girl! I see that you haven't been here for ten miles to drink in the alleys for a long time, what's the matter?

I smiled and waved at him, "I'm about to travel, and I've been practicing my sword again recently." ”

"It's good to practice swords, girls have to know how to defend themselves, how about you take a look at my tricks?" Long Dahan came as soon as he said, and played with his big knife to chop meat. After watching a few tricks with relish, I saw him stop and ask me suspiciously, "Travel, girl, where are you going?"

"Thirteen towns of Chang'an. ”

"Chang'an I know that the black-faced god hunt didn't come from there. Long Dahan put away the big knife, revealing the same puzzled expression as Liu Slender Man, "This Chang'an...... Thirteen Towns, how do you get there?"

"That's easy. I said to him, "Starting from Jinling, walking along the northwest direction, passing through Sunset Town, Qingquan Mountain, Shangdu, Jingshui, Bianzhou, and then riding a good horse to drive the mountain road for two days to see Chang'an, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you will know where the thirteen towns of Chang'an are." ”

"Oh, I see. Long Dahan nodded, scratching his ears again, "Girl, you just said that you are going to pass through Bianzhou?"

"Not bad. ”

"That's a good dare!" Long Dahan said brightly, "I heard that the peanut cake in Bianzhou is famous, sweet and delicious, and I can't smell it here!"

I didn't expect this big man to have a delicate side, I was very happy, "Okay, I also heard that the white garlic in Bianzhou is particularly fragrant, and I will bring you some wine when the time comes." ”

"You girl is honest!" Long Dahan clapped his hands and laughed, saying that he would send me some pork belly back to stir-fry and eat. I told him again and again that the people in the villa had a light taste lately and ate less meat. He took back the meat and said, "When I come back, he will invite me to drink the worm wine." I readily agreed.

Passing through the market, Jinling Street goes to the end, and it is a place where there is no killing on the rivers and lakes. I remember sneaking here with my brother when I was eight years old, and I fell into two hobbies. One is to listen to books, the other is to drink, listen to the books that Meng Yunsheng said, and drink the worm wine here.

Ten years have passed, and the ten miles through the alley have not changed like the immortal face of the dream. It is still yellowed old paper pasted with two green bamboo lanterns hanging in front of the door, ten miles through the alley quietly standing in the stormy Jinling City, accepting visitors from all over the world, covering all things in the world. No guest knows who the proprietor behind the ten-mile alley is, only that he has a single surname, and he is as mysterious as a fallen immortal, coming and going without a trace.

I waited in front of the door for a long time, thought for a long time, dusted off my clothes, and strode in. The honest shopkeeper's abacus leaning in front of the account table crackled, and the shopkeeper still ran over to me with a square scarf and said to me: "Guest officer, do you want to come to the altar worm second wine?"

My eyes crossed his shoulder, and I circled the warm hall, a little disappointed as I retracted it.

"What's the matter, officer, who are you looking for?"

"No, no. I touched my nose absentmindedly, "Then go to the second bar." ”

"Okay, worm two wine and one jar - guest officer, please sit inside. ”

I was thinking at the time, Master said, this is going to the Thirteen Towns of Chang'an, heading towards the northwest of Jinling, and along the way you will pass through Sunset Town, Qingquan Mountain, Shangdu, Jingshui, and Bianzhou. The scenery is very good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the capable people come and go.

It's a pity, there is no place as comfortable as these ten miles through the alleys, which can let me drink a sip of worm wine and listen to the book that Meng Yunsheng said.
