Lu Bei and Tao Jing talked a few more words, ate a few teas, and Lu Bei excused himself to leave Tao Jing's house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, the sun is hanging.

In autumn, the mid-afternoon sun shines on people's bodies, and the warmth is warm.

Lu Bei walked towards the inn, turned a few alleys, and came to the outside of the inn.

Suddenly, in the distance, a woodcutter with an axe pinned to his waist strode towards him carrying two large bundles of dry firewood.

From a closer look, the woodcutter was a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a slightly dark face with sweat, but it gave people a sense of high spirits.

This man was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and pedaled a pair of cloth shoes, the cloth shoes were handmade, and the threads were dense, but there were still grass juice and morning dew.

"Borrowed. The young man smiled at Lu Bei innocently.

Lu Bei made way for him and stepped into the inn.

There was a faint sound of conversation in my ears.

"Why haven't you come to deliver firewood these days? The money shopkeeper was angry, saying that if you don't come again, you won't accept the firewood you send. ”

A guy shouted.

"Brother Xiaohu, don't be angry, tell the money shopkeeper for me, the old lady in the family was sick a few days ago, and I didn't go up the mountain, you also know that my mother's eyes couldn't see two years ago, and I have to stay at home to take care of her old man." ”

Lu Bei went up to the second floor, and a simple voice came faintly, gradually blurring.

Back in the room, Lu Bei closed the door, sat on the bed, took out [Jinse] from the package, and stroked the strings boredly.

Thinking about the heart.

It's been a month or two since I came to this world, and along the way, it's thrilling, all kinds of things are coming, and the cause and effect are like a mess of threads, and I don't know when to sort it out.

The calamity is also like a rope around the neck, which gets tighter and tighter.

I may not have thought about dodging, but what can I dodge.

Catastrophe is like a thousand knots, how can it be avoided by just dodging.

Every time you make a choice, a new line unfolds.

Qing's father is not dead, and Lu is not in trouble.

Sitting at home behind closed doors, woe will come from heaven.

But that's it.

When I think of this, I don't think much about it.

Suddenly there was a commotion downstairs.

Lu Bei frowned, put away [Jinse], picked up the sword, and looked down against the window.

I saw the young woodcutter who had seen him blushing and arguing with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked impatient and said: "Bangs, I said you kid, don't be ignorant, this firewood is wet, twenty wen, love or not." ”

The young woodcutter who was called Bangs smiled and said, "Money shopkeeper, aren't they usually thirty yuan." ”

"Usually? Do you still know usually? Where did you say you went these days, do you know that if you don't come to deliver firewood, you almost missed my business. ”

The money shopkeeper shouted.

Liu Hai explained in a whisper: "Isn't this my mother sick these days?" ”

"Okay, okay, you can take these thirty articles. Only this once, not for example. ”

Seeing that Liu Hai looked sincere, the money shopkeeper was still excusable, so he groaned and said in a slow tone.

Liu Hai took the strings of thirty coins and left with a thousand thanks.

Lu Bei's eyes were slightly downcast, and when he saw this scene, he seemed to be thinking.

Day 2.

When the sky was bright, Tao Jing came to the inn early, and the two had breakfast.

By the way, I took a donkey cart out of the city and headed for a ferry on the bank of Yuanshui.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the autumn breeze is refreshing.

The donkey cart swayed, and Lu Bei held his sword and looked into the distance, and found clumps of hazelwood and shrubs, which were endless in the wilderness.

Tao Jing said with a smile: "Brother Lu, let's go earlier, I told Zhang Chuantou in the city yesterday, and he rowed today, he is the fisherman who strayed into the Peach Blossom Land last time." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bei turned his face and asked, "Didn't he follow the people of the county guard last time and didn't find it?" ”

Tao Jing sighed and said, "When he went back, he thought about it again, saying that the water flow there was complicated, and he might have misremembered a mark. ”

Lu Bei groaned, and suddenly said: "If you delay him fishing for a day, you have to allow him a lot of silver." ”

When Tao Jing heard this, he blurted out: "He bluntly said that he wanted five taels of silver, and I gave it to him." ”

Sure enough, what a mistake marked, it was just that the fisherman saw that Tao Jing had the intention of visiting, so he had the intention of collecting money.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei suddenly doubted whether this peach blossom paradise really existed.

But there is no need to say this at this time.

Tao Jing saw Lu Bei's hesitant expression, and asked, "Brother Lu, is there anything wrong?" ”

Seeing Tao Jing's expectant and slightly puzzled look, Lu Bei sighed slightly in his heart.

Perfunctory: "It's nothing, it's just that Lu doesn't know if the water is turbulent." ”

When Tao Jing heard this, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and explained: "Yuanshui, I have been there before, and the water flow is very gentle, so Brother Lu doesn't have to worry. ”

When the two said this, they didn't say more.

After a while, the donkey cart stopped at a ferry crossing.

The trees at the ferry port are faint, the birds are singing, and they shuttle back and forth between the leaves.

Above the water, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and a long bamboo penny was held in his hand by a fan full of calluses.

When he saw Tao Jing at this time, he greeted him from afar: "Mr. Qimei, here." ”

Lu Bei and Tao Jing got off the donkey cart and headed for the ferry.

On the boat, the fisherman surnamed Zhang smiled and said, "Sir, I can be regarded as waiting for you." Who is this?"

The fisherman surnamed Zhang suddenly saw Lu Bei standing with a sword beside him, his eyes were cold, and he asked.

Tao Jing smiled: "Don't panic, this is the friend I mentioned with you yesterday." ”

The fisherman surnamed Zhang glanced at the sword in Lu Bei's palm, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go now." ”

Saying a little penny, the ripples rippled in circles, and the fishing boat sailed into the distance.

I traveled for about half an hour, and I didn't know how many long waterways I walked.

At this moment, there was a turn from high to low in front of him, and the white water was agitated, flowing under the boat. The rocks on both sides of the bank are bare and mossy and verdant.

On the bow of the ship, Lu Bei and Tao Jing stood in the wind.

"Careful two, it's time to turn. ”

The fisherman surnamed Zhang snorted lightly.

The penny gently supported the reef stones, and the boat wanted to go to a waterway.

Oops.

The fisherman's hand suddenly slipped, and the boat did not hold the reef, and the boat headed for a waterway.

The fisherman surnamed Zhang stomped his feet and exclaimed: "It's bad, there are still a few marked places ahead, and I haven't gotten there." ”

Tao Jing looked anxious and said, "That...... Don't turn around yet. ”

The fisherman surnamed Zhang said hesitantly: "Mr. Tao, there is an undercurrent there, and there is no way to turn around." ”

Lu Bei took a deep look at the fisherman surnamed Zhang, and interrupted: "No need, just follow this road." ”

When the fisherman surnamed Zhang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he deliberately took the wrong path on that waterway before, and he did it on purpose.

No, he hadn't been to the secret realm of the Peach Blossom Spring.

It's just that last time, when he led the way with the people from the Jiangxia County Guard, he couldn't find his way in anyway.

For this matter, he was also reprimanded by the Jiangxia County Shou, saying that he was lying and deceiving.

Later, he also went to look for it alone, but the mark he made, perhaps because it had been too long, disappeared.

When he saw that Tao Jing intended to visit the secret realm, his heart moved, and he agreed.

But I can't help but blame myself, so there is that scene. But when I saw the young man holding the sword, his eyes were sharp, I guess he saw something.

Thankfully, it wasn't pursued.

Tao Jing asked eagerly, "Brother Lu, why don't you turn around." ”

Lu Bei said lightly: "Last time, the county guard took that road, but he didn't find the Peach Blossom Spring, and now if I go again, it is estimated that it will be in vain." In this case, it's better to follow fate, and this time you should play and relax. ”

Seeing that Tao Jing wanted to say something more, Lu Bei's expression paused, and Fang said: "Brother Tao, this kind of thing, don't force it." ”

Lu Beifang noticed the fisherman's suspicious deeds, and guessed in his heart that most of the so-called secluded explorations this time were in vain.

After hearing Lu Bei's words, Tao Jing arched his hand and sighed: "Brother Lu, it's Tao who is persistent." ”

Tao Jing returned with his thoughts, no longer entangled, and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the strait with great interest.

And Lu Bei was about to instruct the fisherman surnamed Zhang to stop somewhere the water was calm, and pick up a fishing rod to fish in the middle of the river.

The fisherman surnamed Zhang suddenly looked excited and shouted: "This is it, I remember this place...... Not far ahead is the Peach Blossom Spring. ”
