Volume 1 The moon is dusk and the lights are like day Chapter 7 Old friends should be the same
Liu Yingqing smiled at the widow, walked straight to Li Zhiyu, stretched out his hand and touched the young man's cheek. Li Zhiyu's expression turned slightly shy, and he glanced at the widow, and his heart was even more shy. The widow put on her makeup slightly, looked at Liu Yingqing, and said with a slight smile: "I heard that there is a blacksmith with first-class blacksmith in Shannan, and the people around him are praised. It's just that my husband died early, so it's not good to bother, so I hope Mr. don't blame me. The widow's tone was flat, slightly gloomy.
Liu Yingqing bowed slightly when he heard this, as a return salute. turned to a deep voice: "There is a Merlin in the west of Longhai County, I just heard it for a long time and never returned, now since Zhiyu is out and can't come back, we might as well go and see this Merlin." One is to solve the pain of lovesickness, and the other is to meet the literati and scholars, which is also of great benefit to the etiquette of Zhiyu poetry and books. Liu Yingqing lowered his brows and looked at Li Zhiyu to inquire. Li Zhiyu was overjoyed.
The predecessors said: Wandering in spring, I am afraid of living up to the third and second days of spring. Full of joy, wading and climbing. Look at the green hills and smoke trees, dyed green grass like fiber. Stir up leisure as soft as grass, stir up new sorrow like smoke. The poems taught by Mr. Floating in the Young Man's Heart are especially looking forward to this trip to Merlin.
The widow's eyes were lowered, and her clear eyes were just staring at the newly stained dust between her feet, and she did not say anything.
"Merlin is solid, and lovesickness is hard to take. What's more, the bamboo horse surrounds the green plum, but I never dare to look forward to it. Without him, what's the use of asking for Mei. The widow swung her skirt and got up to leave. Liu Yingqing's eyes darkened slightly, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
The widow gently tugged at the corners of her skirt and gradually faded away. Li Zhiyu looked at the widow who was gradually moving away, and wanted to shout, but he had nothing to say, so he had to be silent. I only thought of the words that Mr. sat under the plane tree that day: love is deep in the bones and does not show it, and the surface is not thoughtless.
Liu Chengqing tidied up the young man's robe, and the two walked west. Walk and stop along the way and enjoy the scenery. Whenever he encounters something very interesting, Li Zhiyu has a young heart and must have some fun, and he inevitably delays a little along the way. Liu Chengqing was not anxious, and just indulged Li Zhiyu to play all the way to relieve his lovesickness.
The two walked and stopped, although there was a lot of delay on the road, but looking at the faint smile on the young man's face, Liu Chengqing was also relieved a lot. After more than ten days, the two have arrived in Meiping. Meiping, the first county in the west of Longhai County, is famous in Longhai County because of the plum forest that grows in Meiping County. Even the nobles of the capital gather here every time the plum is ripe. In order to please the Jingguan of the masters, the county order of Meixian County has repeatedly made a performance, saying that Meixian County has many benefits. When the scholars heard it, every time the plum was ripe, they would gather here to meet their friends in the mountains.
And some literati think that Meilin is more than ten miles, and the local villagers mostly live around Meilin, and businessmen also go around Meilin to find stalls and set up stalls, surrounding Meilin, like a barrier, and the word Meixian seems to be inappropriate. Qi Qi on the book in order to change the name, later there are celebrities here, the song Mei Fu a song, for a while to be absolutely influential, the capital paper is more than three times more expensive than usual, many famous prostitutes compete for the song, the north and the south are both, now the saint is allowed, this is renamed Meiping County.
Let's say that Liu Chengqing and the others walked outside the city, only to see the streets full of people, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, which was ten times more prosperous than where they lived. In addition, the marriage between Dachu and Wu Yueguo was repaired, and the business travelers of the two countries were mostly in Longhai County, and for a while they thought that Dachu was a double gem with Shouchun City.
In the southeast of Meiping County, it was a place by the mountains and rivers, and many strange flowers and plants grew in it, and later there were meteorites falling eastward, and the surrounding villagers were shocked in their hearts, and they thought that the catastrophe was coming, but decades passed, and no disaster occurred. Later, some villagers went into the mountains and found large pieces of iron and stone, so the people of the village learned more about the method of wrought iron grinding. It's just that literati often think that although the iron is ingenious, it is just a tricky and ingenious method, so the spread is not as wide as Merlin. It's just that the officers and soldiers of the Great Chu Border Army like this Meiping cold iron very much, and they go into battle to kill the enemy, and they are handy.
Liu Chengqing led Li Zhiyu to the depths, and walked for about an hour or two, only to feel the heat rushing to his face. Most of the surrounding residents have ruddy complexions compared to ordinary people, and their arms are much stronger than ordinary people, and they look powerful and vigorous. Li Zhiyu looked at the surrounding scene curiously, and thought in his heart, this is probably the place where Liu Chengqing learned from his apprentice, and today he is probably here to find friends and watch Mei together.
Li Zhiyu was muttering in his heart, Liu Yingqing's figure turned slightly, and he walked into a shop with black cloth shading.
The shop is no different from a regular blacksmith's shop. It's just that the house is a little deserted. The spider silk on the stove is a web, and the wire web under the beam is a knot. There were piles of dust underground, and they were cleaned up and piled up under the corner of the east wall, Li Zhiyu's heart moved slightly, only to feel that this blacksmith was really lazy, how to put a good business and not do it, so that the house was full of dust. Liu Yingqing stretched out his hand and touched the dust on the wall, his fingertips rubbed carefully, and his eyes were slightly sad. He walked around the house slowly, and his shoes and socks were stained with dust.
Outside the house, a shirtless man was holding a jar of wine and sipping it carefully. The big man's eyes were confused, and he only cared about drinking the wine in the altar, and his steps were slanted and crooked, and he had no strength, indicating that he was deeply drunk.
In the distance, a young girl rode a high-headed horse, galloping, not looking at the light and shadow left and right. An old servant in black was silent, and followed the girl not far away.
The sun is high at noon, and the cool breeze occasionally blows, mixed in this heat wave, but I don't know whether it is hot or cold, but the pedestrians who blow are irritable. The big man's figure remained unchanged, and he groped into the house by feeling the wall in the alley obliquely. The maiden horse's reins were lightly pulled, and she only cared about urging the horse, and the horse was in pain, and the hooves were swift and fast as the long wind. The black shadow that the pedestrians only looked at rushed forward, and with a sigh, his body was completely gone, and he cursed in his heart.
The girl's horse became more and more anxious, and she saw a shirtless man walking out of the corner, but she was not in a hurry to collect the whip. The girl exclaimed softly, shocked. The drunken man was still blindfolded, not in a hurry. Seeing that the horse's hooves have fallen, the two front hooves are like rushing rainbows, if this foot is stepped on, not to mention that the upper body of the big man is naked, even the black-clothed and iron-clad sergeant may have to be buried under the horse's hooves.
Seeing this, the old servant behind him flicked his sleeve robe, and his body swept out like a longbow, pushing away the man with one hand, and holding the horse in his hand with the other. The man was unconscious, his body fell to the ground, and he fell into a deep sleep. The old man glanced at the man suspiciously, and the strength in his hand spit out slightly, and shot out. The man was unconscious, still sleeping deeply, and there were bursts of snoring. The old man's sleeve robe was stretched, and the strength of the later hair dispersed the strength of the front, making it an extremely clever three-fold wave of the Yangtze River.
Li Zhiyu was bored looking at Liu Chengqing with a long sigh, listening to the loud sound outside the house, and hurriedly ran out of the door, his mouth opened slightly, remembering that day when she looked at herself, her face was slightly blushing. The girl was about to get angry, so she taught this drunk man a lesson, but when she saw Li Zhiyu, she immediately turned her face again.
The young man's expression was still the same, his white face was slightly blushing, and his head was drooping, but he didn't dare to look at himself. The girl felt funny in her heart, and couldn't help but want to play Li Zhiyu.
The girl's whip bent slightly, and the frightened horse was whipped again, and the horse was in pain, and the horse was helpless in the alley, and the front and rear were curves, and they couldn't get out of the hurry, so they had to raise their front hooves and rush away against the door of the house. The girl's eyes moved slightly, her body leaned tightly on the horse's back, and her hands clung to the reins.
Li Zhiyu saw the horse's hooves coming into the air, and the huge horse's head was raised, just like the momentum of Mount Tai's pressure. His heart was flustered, and his face was as pale as snow with fright. The body wanted to retreat, but the legs seemed to take root, and they couldn't pull it out, so they had to watch the horse's hooves get closer and closer. The old man's face was grim, and his body almost wanted to run out, but the alley was narrow, and the horse's body was blocked at the door of the alley, forcibly breaking in, I was afraid that he would hurt the young lady, but if he didn't move, the young man's life was difficult to protect, and he was in a dilemma.
At this time, the horse's hooves were approaching, and Li Zhiyu's face could already feel the thick heat spewing out of the horse's nose, but his body was stiff and he couldn't move, so he could only watch the horse's hooves fall. When the horse's hooves were still two inches close, Li Zhiyu was so frightened that he screamed. The old man looked at him with compassion and sighed in his heart. At this time, Liu Chengqing had already arrived, his arm was straight, and he pulled Li Zhiyu by the collar and forcefully to dodge.
The horses' hooves stepped down, the dust was raised, and everyone was horrified. Li Zhiyu's body was taken by Liu Chengqing so hard, and his body had already fallen to the ground, and there was a pain in his back. Rubbing his cheeks, his expression calmed down for a while.
Outside the house, the horse's hooves fell, and the girl's body fell violently under this force. Fell off the horse's back. The old man's figure sprang out, his arms stretched slightly, holding the horse's back with one hand, and holding the girl with the other, which stopped the commotion.
The girl was so frightened by this that she couldn't hold back her soul, and she actually cried out loud. The old man sighed softly, and could not reproach, took the reins of the horse, and tied the horse to the pillar in front of the door.
The old man stepped forward and gave everyone a deep look. "Ladies and gentlemen, today's young lady of my family is a teenager and a horse, and she is really making a mistake. Don't blame you. The old man spoke softly, looking slightly apologetic. Although Liu Yingqing was angry in his heart, it could be seen that the old man's words were like this, and the anger in his heart also dissipated slightly.
The girl cried for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Li Zhiyu: "You bully me." Li Zhiyu's eyes changed, and he smiled dumbly. Rao was not reluctant to smile at the old servant, and his face was also twitching.
Liu Chengqing was slightly stunned, looked at Li Zhiyu, and then at the girl, and didn't understand it very well.
Li Zhiyu wanted to speak, but the girl said that you bullied me in front of her, and the words were in her throat, but she couldn't speak, so she had to smile helplessly, thinking that she was unlucky. As everyone knows, the master said: Do you keep the festival of humility and retreat? Li Zhiyu took a closer look at the girl, and saw that her tears had not dried and her expression was shy, so he couldn't help but blush, and thought in his heart, she was really good-looking!
The old servant saw that the young man was speechless, his face was slightly red, but he thought that the anger in the young man's heart had not disappeared, and he was angry alone. At the moment, I was helpless, so I had to close my eyes and recuperate. After all, he is much older than Li Zhiyu, and it is not appropriate to apologize repeatedly.
Liu Yingqing walked up to the drunk man and stretched out his hand to help the drunk man, with a slight smile on his face. The man snored like thunder, but he was sleepy and did not move. Liu Yingqing frowned slightly, and hit the drunk man's face with five fingers, and everyone was stunned, full of puzzlement. This is a wake-up call, and there is this method? Rao is as rude as a girl, and her face shows admiration. This Fa is good!
The man's drunken eyes were hazy, his eyes were squinted, and he looked at the man in front of him, and his eyes suddenly stared like copper bells, as if he had seen a ghost, and the drunken mood immediately dissipated a lot. The man shook his head and took a deep breath, his slightly clear eyes full of suspicion. Liu Yingqing had a smile on his face and grabbed the man's arm tightly.
