Geng Huyuan, who had been looking at this side, saw that Meng Ran had actually taken out another ingot of broken silver, and looked in that direction with an incredulous expression. It wasn't until Meng Ran approached that he came back to his senses.

"Young master, that old Taoist priest is just a liar, why do you ......" Geng Huyuan, who was talking to himself, saw Meng Ran's melancholy and sad face, so he kept silent and swallowed the unspoken words in the second half of the paragraph.

Meng Ran didn't care what Geng Nursing Home said, just walked forward in a daze, this young man from Lin'an City, who had experienced some setbacks just a few days after going out, was silently crying.

Geng Huyuan looked at this unbelievable picture, and he didn't ask, and he didn't ask, so he had to follow quietly behind him.

After turning a few streets, the two returned to the inn where they were staying, and at this time the hall was already full of many people, almost full. After Meng Ran went upstairs, Geng Huyuan gave a few words to the shopkeeper, and then followed upstairs.

In the room, Meng Ran stood at the window facing the street, looking down at the busy traffic outside and the lights of thousands of homes.

Geng Huyuan couldn't hold back any longer, and asked, "Young Master, what did the old Taoist priest say?"

"Nothing..."

Even a fool knew that Meng Ran didn't tell the truth, but Geng Huyuan didn't ask, just patted Meng Ran on the shoulder and comforted: "If the young master is willing to speak, I will listen at any time, if the young master is unwilling to speak, I will not be reluctant, I just hope that the young master will not have any bad emotions." ”

Meng Ran nodded.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought the meal, as well as an extra plate. After putting down the things, Xiao Er poured the packed beef into the empty plate, lit the candle in the house, and then was about to retreat.

Geng Huyuan called out to him: "Xiao Er, bring two pots of wine, I want the best." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. ”

The shopkeeper said yes and went out.

Geng Huyuan beckoned Meng Ran to sit down, but Meng Ran refused to move, so Geng Huyuan had to take his arm and forcibly press him on the stool.

"Young master, no matter what the old Taoist priest said to you, you always have to eat, you can't be hungry like this. How can you continue to go on the road when you are hungry?"

"What if I don't want to go on the road?" Meng Ran's voice was a little hoarse.

"Don't want to go on the road, do you want to go back to Lin'an?" asked Geng Huyuan curiously.

Meng Ran neither nodded nor shook his head.

Geng Huyuan was very anxious, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to urge, so he had to wait patiently.

"I'm going to go on my own ......"

"How can you protect yourself?"

Meng Ran just didn't say anything.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Xiao Er knocked on the door and brought two pots of good wine and two wine glasses.

When the door was closed, Geng Huyuan lifted the wine jug, filled it, and said to Meng Ran: "Young master, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, let's have a drink together." ”

Meng Ran took the wine glass and drank it all.

Geng Huyuan poured it again, and Meng Ran drank it again.

After a while, Meng Ran was already drunk, and he was shaking his head there.

At this time, Geng Huyuan spoke softly, "Young Master, why do you want to go by yourself?"

Meng Ran didn't answer, just moaned in a low voice.

Geng Huyuan sighed, "Young Master, is it related to Lao Song's accident?"

The dazed Meng Ran nodded slightly, just staring at the food on the table, looking at it from the perspective of Geng Huyuan, it was not unusual, and after a while, he said, "Uncle Geng, help me pour me a glass of wine." ”

Geng Nursing House did as it was told.

Meng Ran raised the wine glass full of wine, swayed it to the side of the table, and gently sprinkled it on the ground, "Uncle Song, Meng Ran respects you." ”

Geng Huyuan was introverted and didn't say much, just quietly waiting for Meng Ran's next words.

Meng Ran raised the wine glass and stretched it out over the table, Geng Huyuan poured it again, and he spilled the wine on the ground again.

After three cups like this, Meng Ran asked with red eyes: "Uncle Geng, if I don't leave Lin'an, won't Uncle Song die?"

Geng Huyuan said calmly: "God knows. ”

"If you continue to follow me north, you will die, will you still go?"

"Go!"

"Why?"

"Entrusted by people, loyal to people, how can there be a reason to take benefits, but not want to work, how can there be such a good thing in the world. ”

"But I'm going to die. ”

"How can anyone not die?"

Meng Ran shook his body, walked behind Geng Huyuan, picked up the newly bought long knife, and with a 'choking' sound, the bright knife was already in Meng Ran's right hand, and with a slight wave, he split a stool in half.

"Good knives. Meng Ran shouted indistinctly.

Geng Huyuan didn't stop it, just looked at Meng Ran with a sympathetic face, at such an age, he had to bear a lot of pressure, although he didn't know why Meng Ran went to Wuliang Mountain, but he could always sense that there was something important behind this matter.

Meng Ran danced for a while, then became sleepy, found a stool and sat down, and fell asleep on the table after a while.

Geng Huyuan sighed slightly, looked at Meng Ran for a while, and began to eat and drink. After he was full of wine and food, he helped Meng Ran to bed and went back to the house to rest.

In the dead of night, Meng Ran woke up with his forehead, he first rubbed his temples, then went to the ground, touched the table in the dark, drank half a pot of cold tea, and then walked to the window, gently pushed the window open, stood silently at the window, and quietly looked at the silent city.

"Is it so fair that some of them are worth a fortune, and some of them are worthless? If my mother hears this, I am afraid it will be another reprimand. Meng Ran whispered to himself, and when he said this, a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So I'm no different from those thieves who kill people, only in a different way. If it weren't for this trip, Song Bo would have been safe and sound, and he would have enjoyed his old age in the mansion, but now he has lost his life in a foreign land, and his soul will not return......"

Meng Ran chattered for a while, then kept silent, just stood silently at the window.

Before dawn, the men in the inn had already gotten up to get busy with the day's work, and there were three or two pedestrians on the street.

He watched for a while, closed the window, and lay down on the bed again, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

When the sunlight spilled into the house through the gap in the window, there was already a slight noise in the corridor, thinking that the guests who were in a hurry had already gotten up to wash, but Meng Ran just ignored it and lay motionless.

After a while, there was also movement in the next room, thinking that Geng Huyuan had risen, he walked a few steps in the house, walked through the corridor, and knocked lightly on Meng Ran's door.

"Come in. ”

Geng Huyuan entered in response and asked with concern, "Young Master, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's fine. ”

Meng Ran just replied and didn't get up.

Geng Huyuan pursed his lips and didn't speak, but sighed silently in his heart.

That's it, sitting and lying down, relatively silent.

After a long time, Geng Huyuan said: "Young master, the mutton in Deqing County has been famous for a long time, although it is not winter yet, the taste should not be too bad, let's go eat some together?"

Meng Ran nodded, "Okay." ”

The two of them washed up and went out, and after asking the shopkeeper, they went straight to the best local mutton restaurant. At this time, there were already a lot of pedestrians on the street, and everyone was either going out for morning tea, walking, or strolling.

Geng Huyuan took Meng Ran to the local 'Quanju Sheep', it is said that it is the best mutton restaurant within a radius of 100 miles, there was an inscription in the store by the feudal officials, so it is famous, there are all kinds of mutton feasts and many mutton flavor snacks in the store.

The most unique thing about Quanju sheep is the treasure of the town store 'white jade soup', this white jade soup is actually sheep soup, but Quanju sheep is doing exceptionally well, the broth is smooth and white and tender, fat but not greasy, and there is no smell of mutton, so there are many people who come to eat and meet guests every day, and the business of Quanju sheep is particularly hot.

When the two arrived at the store, they were ready to eat a raw meal and order more flavored snacks, but they were persuaded by the shopkeeper, and the guy said: "The two guest officers are outsiders, and they came to Quanju at this time to drink a bowl of white jade soup, and they rarely eat flavored snacks directly." If the two of you can trust it, you only need two bowls of white jade soup, and then some noodles from the north, which are absolutely delicious, if the guests feel that they are not delicious, the restaurant is free of charge. ”

Geng Huyuan smiled, "It's really rare to do business at your level, so according to what you said, let's have two servings of broth and some pastries." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, two guest officers. ”

The shopkeeper bowed down.

After a while, there were two servings of broth, only to see the hot air boiling in the bowl, and a layer of green onions floating on the hot snow-white mutton soup, just a light sniff, you can smell the aroma, it is very attractive.

The two glanced at each other, took a sip of mutton soup, and involuntarily nodded in praise.

After eating, the two of them also walked around the city, ready to go around again. With Meng Ran's current state, it is really not suitable to go on the road, so it is better to rest and rest.

Geng Huyuan was walking in front when he heard Meng Ran's voice behind him, "Uncle Geng, the name of this Deqing County is good, do you know why and why?"

"It is said that it is named after the phrase 'people are virtuous, like water to clear'. ”

"Is there any good scenery near Deqing County?"

"Well, this Deqing County is located in the Hangjiahu Plain, belongs to the low mountains and hilly areas, the terrain is inclined from west to east, the west is the remaining veins of Tianmu Mountain, the mountains are continuous, the forests are lush, there is a famous summer resort Mogan Mountain, the east is a plain water town, and the middle is a hill.

Mogan Mountain, because in the late Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu sent Mo Xie and cadres to cast a unique male and female double sword here. Although Mogan Mountain is not as majestic as Taidai and the magic of Huangshan, it is famous in the north and south of China for its unique charm of Jiangnan landscape charm, with bamboo, clouds and springs 'three wins' and clear, quiet, cool and secluded 'four excellences'.

Qingfeng Temple is located in the north of the new town of Deqing County, it is built in the previous dynasty, and there are people who have attained the Tao to practice here, so it is very famous. It is said that the roof of the main hall of Qingfeng Temple has two flying dragons raising their heads in the sky, each corner of the eaves is decorated with birds and beasts, there are four square octagonal on the upper and lower two floors, each corner hangs golden copper wind chimes, the breeze blows, the bell is curling, there are hundreds of birds and phoenixes in the eaves of the upper and lower corridors, and imitates the golden flowers and jade leaves, which is particularly beautiful.

Where do you want to go, young master?"

"Let's go to the Breeze Temple. ”

"Good. ”
