Chapter 129 Spring Plum Wine
Changdu is a very small city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is remote.
Thousands of years ago, Qamdo was surrounded by mountains, and a large river originated from this place. Cities have always lived on water, so a small village was built in the middle of the river basin, which lasted for hundreds of years and gradually developed into a small town, which is the prototype of Qamdo.
Later, you should also know that not long after the development of this small town, I don't know where an immortal with hands and eyes came from, and I don't know what angered this immortal, he uprooted the mountain range on the border of Qamdo and flattened Luoyang neatly!
Both places were flattened overnight, but this small town on the border of Qamdo was unscathed.
There are historical records, "In the south of Western Chu, there are mountains and slopes, and there is a world in them, the name is Changdu, and the people here are simple and abnormal." One night, when I was young, I only heard the whistling sound, like the wind, and the ticking sound, like water, and then felt that the house was shaken, like the earth dragon turning over. It's only half an hour, and I don't care. On the morning of the second day, when I suddenly felt the sun scorching, I was startled, and I saw that the mountains had passed away, and they had become a mess of rocks. The peaks within a radius of 100 miles are as flat as possible. The mouth and eyes are double-opened, like a wooden chicken. Only the breeze is gentle, or it has been 10,000 years. ”
(I haven't learned classical Chinese for a long time, and many ancient words have been almost forgotten, so don't be surprised if you don't write well.) )
Originally located in the mountains, the small town of Qamdo could not become a city no matter how much it developed, and this mountain range was
After moving away, Qamdo was naturally in full swing, and it developed from a small town to a city today.
However, after the mountains were emptied, the disadvantages became more and more prominent, and the mountains originally blocked the yellow sand blowing in the west and blocked the scorching sun. Nowadays, the yellow sand is spreading towards Qamdo, the scorching sun is crazy to exud its enthusiasm, and the most serious thing is that the water veins of Qamdo were originally formed by the melting of the snow on the top of the mountains, and now the water veins are gradually drying up, and Qamdo has become more and more a desolate place, like the deserted Gobi Desert.
It's just that as a city, there is still a heritage. Although every year young people leave Qamdo to go to Xichu, Pingsha and other places to seek a living, they have never returned, but the streets and houses of Qamdo have never been idle. But there are only the elderly, and when this group of old people finally dies, this Qamdo is afraid that it will be a little more desolate.
Wait a few hundred years, this Qamdo, I'm afraid it will really become a deserted Gobi Desert.
Swallowed by the Western Desert.
An old man walked slowly from the desolate ancient road, followed by three or four strong men with long knives. The old man had a kind face, but the strong men had a fierce look, and even the children playing on the side of the road had to hold knives and threaten them, and when the children were so frightened that they cried, these men laughed.
"It's done, don't fool around!" the old man snorted, "I've been a robber for so long, is it true that I've been a robber for the rest of my life? ”
A strong man sneered and said: "My lord, don't blame us, you see this place is so remote, Lao Tzu doesn't here, let alone birds, there is no fun at all, and you can't find some fun and give us a few brothers to have fun?"
Another man next to him complained: "Big brother, is there any water? His grandmother is dying of thirst!"
Another strong man lifted the kettle on his waist and shook it again, with a bitter face, "Lao Tzu is gone." ”
So these men complained, "Oh, what kind of place is this grandma? They all say that there are trees and forests, but I have never been to such a forest!"
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Mom, I'm not going to be a robber anymore, can I go home and give you filial piety?"
。。。
The old man was finally impatient, took out a kettle from the satchel on his back and threw it at these men, "Get out!"
"Howler!"
A few men ran away with a kettle, and the old man was trying to be quiet for a while, but he didn't expect that there was another man with a full beard who was looking at him with a smile, "What are you doing? If you don't grab water, they will all drink it! Don't blame me when the time comes!"
"My lord, you have given me all the water, give me a sip of the wine in your arms!"
"Get out!" The old man showed no mercy, and after scolding, he still felt uneasy, and drank: "If Lao Tzu finds Lao Tzu's wine."
If it's less, Lao Tzu can't spare you. ”
The beard had a bitter face, and after walking for a while, he asked, "My lord, what are we doing in this kind of place?" Why don't we go to Suzhou, Yangzhou, or that kind of place?" You see, there is not even a sip of water here, let alone the Red Mansion in Yangzhou, Suzhou,,, hehe. ”
"It's no wonder that you just think about these things with such a big head!"
The bearded face sank, "Then my lord, what do you seem to be doing here?"
"Almost. The old man replied, "I'm here to play chess." ”
The beard lost his mind, "What chess?"
"What a big game of chess!"

Jiang Lili did something to Chen Wenhao, otherwise he would not have been able to find out where Chen Wenhao lived so quickly.
In fact, he looks down on Chen Wenhao from the bottom of his heart, his children are long, and he is defeated, what can he do?
So even if Chen Wenhao can be regarded as his adviser, he didn't think about showing his identity to support Chen Wenhao, and he didn't bother to do so.
If a person himself is not willing to earn face for himself, then no matter how much others help, it will be useless!
Jiang Lili thought so.
He has never been Chen Wenhao, and Chen Wenhao is not him.
After asking about whether Qamdo is located in the south of Western Chu, Jiang Lili ignored Chen Wenhao and left directly, not paying attention to whether Chen Wenhao was dead or alive, but he was as he wished.
Presumably in his mind, he has nothing to do with Chen Wenhao anymore.
As soon as he returned to the inn where he had settled, Wu Zhou slipped out of the ghost raising bag and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?
Jiang Lili pouted, "Even that kind of idiot who has no prospects is worthy, I really lost my face when I chose him to be my advisor!"
"Really?" Wu Zhou still laughed.
Jiang Lili snorted coldly, ignored him anymore, turned his head to look at the wall in the courtyard of the inn that had been cut by himself with a deep knife mark, and thought secretly.
"What do you think?" Wu Zhou leaned over, "Looking at your sad face, you must have encountered something difficult." Tell me about it, and though I don't promise how much advice I can give you, it's a good thing to make me happy!"
After following Jiang Lili for so long, Wu Zhou's mouth really has a lot of skills.
In normal times, Jiang Lili would definitely scold Wu Zhou and couldn't raise his head, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to quarrel with Wu Zhou, so he reflexively went back to the room and began to pack up his clothes.
"What's the matter, are you going to leave so soon?" Wu Zhou followed into the room, "Look, sure enough, you stayed in Suzhou just for Chen Wenhao." ”
"If you don't speak, I won't treat you like a dumb person. Jiang Lili turned his head and said coldly to Wu Zhou: "But if you still want to talk about it, you will stay in the ghost raising bag for me for the rest of your life, don't think about it!"
Wu Zhou snorted, "Cheng Cheng Cheng, I won't talk nonsense anymore Cheng Cheng?"
Jiang Lili didn't pay attention to him anymore, and quickly packed his luggage, in fact, it was just a few changes of clothes. Then he left a few pieces of broken silver and put them in the room, got into a carriage, and went to Yangzhou.
There are many carriages on the post road leading to Yangzhou, such as water and dragons, and there is an endless stream.
Jiang Lili drove the carriage alone, looking at the hazy road ahead in the spring twilight.
The carriage behind him was empty.

Chen Wenhao has never been so frustrated, even in the two years when Cheng'an was uncertain, he was unable to break the heart of this scholar, but he felt deep frustration on this day.
The word "love" is really the most murderous.
On this day, the spring color in Suzhou was really not so bright, Chen Wenhao walked through the streets and alleys with his head down, deaf to the coquettish smile of the girl on the red mansion. In the middle of the city, it is like being in an ice cave, alone.
Suddenly, he only raised his eyes slightly, and caught a glimpse of a person in front of him who seemed to be blocking his way, so he stopped and moved to the side, but the person followed closely and blocked in front of Chen Wenhao.
Chen Wenhao moved another step to the left, and the man moved three more points, which happened to block Chen Wenhao's way.
Chen Wenhao raised his head and saw the tea girl he met when he first arrived in Suzhou the day before yesterday. Reluctantly pulled out a smile, Chen Wenhao couldn't forget the etiquette, he hugged his fists and asked, "Girl, is there something that the girl hopes that Xiaosheng can do for you?"
The girl was right, "Naturally!"
Chen Wenhao was stunned again and asked: "It's a pity that my heart is like dead carbon now, and there are no poems and essays in my belly, I'm afraid I can't help the girl." ”
"Only you can help!"
"Dare to ask what?"
The girl's face suddenly turned red, as red as autumn fruit, "Old... The old lady has taken a fancy to you... Or you. You just let me be. The old lady came home... Otherwise, my mother will ask someone to tie you up and drag you home!
Chen Wenhao's mouth opened wide in shock, and an eight-foot-tall strong man next to him was proudly pulling a hemp rope and grimacing at Chen Wenhao.
Chen Wenhao stared at the girl carefully, and the girl's original arrogant style slowly softened in Chen Wenhao's eyes, lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and was uneasy.
I looked up at the sky again, and now it was twilight, no wonder I felt that the spring in Suzhou was not as bright as usual. Then tomorrow when the sun comes out, it must be full of spring!
Chen Wenhao thought so, so he smiled and replied softly: "Okay." ”

Not far away, a grandmother selling plum wine squinted her eyes and smiled.
