The sky was gloomy, the gray clouds gradually turned black, and the thick clouds pressed down on the sky. is heavy, as if it wants to fall down immediately, and it also makes the whole world full of depression and silence.

The mischievous air swirls on the ground, and from time to time a few fierce winds roar over the grass on both sides of the road, and the flexible flowers and plants have long since bent down, only the tall pine is still standing proudly, facing the coming wind and rain.

"Hoo ......"

The wind howled, getting more and more urgent, and the sky became darker and darker. Above the ground, a caravan slowly emerged on a deserted path below.

"Du Shusheng, are you sure there is a small town in front of you? Why do I look at the road here so barren?"

At the front of the caravan, a man dressed in a short shirt yelled at the man beside him.

"Brother Miao, I can't lie to you, I came here a few years ago, and there is indeed a small town in front of me!"

Du Wensheng is also dressed in a short dress, but his face is no longer the delicate skin of a few years ago, and the whole person has a more Jianghu atmosphere.

"A few years ago? A few years ago? Qingzhou was very chaotic, maybe the town was bandits, and it was gone!"

Brother Miao laughed, raised his head and said, "At that time, our brothers will all be sleeping in the wilderness! We don't care, scholar, can you bear this suffering?"

Du Wensheng shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Miao, I've been with you for more than two years, so don't mention the past! As for this town, it was when I passed by four years ago. ”

Because of his performance when he first joined the caravan, the nickname of the scholar has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get rid of it.

"But at that time, the town really encountered banditry, and it was really impossible to move away. ”

Du Wensheng was a little overwhelmed.

"Hey! It's all to blame for this ghost weather, it's cloudy when you say it's cloudy, and it's down when you say it's down!"

The shopkeeper Miao also sighed.

"Hey, this is the way, look!"

Du Wensheng always paid attention to the road ahead, and at this time, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the increasingly spacious road ahead and shouted.

"Everyone, hurry up, you can rest when you get to the front!"

The face of the shopkeeper Miao was also overjoyed, no one wanted to sleep in the wilderness on a rainy day.

"Drive!"

The carriages and horses were in a hurry, and the sound of urging rang out.

Under the gray sky, walking along the avenue, a small town looms ahead.

"This is it, let's go!"

Du Wensheng smiled, and took the lead into the town with a horsewhip.

Four years later, this town is exactly the same as I remember. I can't remember some places clearly, but when I look at it now, the familiar feeling comes back to me.

"Boss, a guest is coming!"

Du Wensheng strode into the inn and saw an old man cleaning the counter there.

"Oh, all the guest officers, please, please inside! Xiao Er, beckon the guests to stop and salute. ”

The old shopkeeper's face squeezed out a hint of joy, he didn't expect to meet a big customer at this time, and hurriedly yelled at the little two who were squatting there to rest.

"Got it!"

The little two turned over, got up neatly, and rushed out of the door like a monkey.

"Monkey Spirit, Monkey Spirit, Boy. ”

The old shopkeeper laughed and scolded, and greeted Du Wensheng and his party inside.

"Sit down, sit down, do you need something to eat?"

"Of course! Brothers are dying of hunger!"

The shopkeeper Miao waved his big hand and said, "Give me all the delicious food in your store, don't worry, it's not bad money!"

Looking back, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Why are there only nine people? Where did Ma Liu go?"

"Shopkeeper, that kid doesn't know what evil he has hit, so he won't come in at all. ”

The man in the back put down the weapon on his back and shrugged his shoulders in reply.

"Bastard, leave him alone, wait until he's hungry and find something to eat!"

The shopkeeper Miao grinned.

"Old shopkeeper, do you remember me?"

On the other side, Du Wen straightened out his clothes and smiled at the old club.

"You're old and clumsy, and your memory is not very good. Objective, but you're a regular customer of our store?"

"No, it's the first time we've been on this road. But I came here four years ago, and it was about the same time as it is today, and it wasn't very good!"

Du Wensheng smiled and continued: "Your town was a bad day that day. ”

"Oh! it's you, the benefactor!"

The old shopkeeper suddenly realized, looked at Du Wensheng's excited face, and stretched forward to hold each other.

"That day, thanks to Engong, and that woman!

"The shopkeeper is polite, the road is uneven! Besides, I didn't make any efforts, it was all the credit of Miss Qu. ”

Du Wensheng smiled and shook his head.

"It's the shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for four years, and you are still the same as four years ago, it seems that your body and bones are well maintained! But why are your hands so cold?"

"I guess the weather is changing too fast today. I'll go and prepare some good food and drinks for you. Oh, you can use whatever you want, and you can use it today!"

Although the old shopkeeper is a lot older, he is still full of pride.

"Haha, then I'm welcome! Du Shusheng, I didn't expect that thousands of miles away could rub your face. ”

A group of people yelled and joked.

"If you want me to say, Du Shusheng has a true disciple of the Taixuan Sect as a friend, and what kind of business is he running with us! A little crack in the fingers of the true disciple is enough for you and your girl to eat and drink for a lifetime. ”

"Yes, yes, and your girl, I guess I'm going to get angry soon, right? Otherwise, you take her with you wherever you go, and you won't leave her in Qingzhou this time. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Qu and I just met in Pingshui, how can we trouble others. ”

Du Wensheng waved his hand and said proudly: "It's my girl, it's true that she is going to break through in the few days I came, and when I go back, I invite you to have a good time!"

"Okay, what a word!"

"Of course!"

"Qingxue girl, this can be regarded as a member of the Taixuan Sect! ”

Du Wensheng was already smiling from ear to ear at this time, and the happiness on his face was even more obvious.

"But if you want me to say, the scholar is still thin-faced, if I know the true disciple of the Taixuan faction, it will be a relationship with a face. ”

"Can a scholar compare with you?"

Brother Miao laughed and scolded.

"Isn't there a word? backbone, backbone!"

"Yes, yes! We drink, drink!"

A group of people laughed and laughed in a group, holding wine glasses and bumping into each other.

"Engong, serve a few small dishes first, you eat first, and the dishes will come immediately. ”

"You're welcome, shopkeeper, just get some food. ”

"Then what's going on, you eat first, I'll go and have a look at the back." ”

The room was lit with candles, and laughter, cheers, and the clashing of wine glasses were all in one.

Outside the house, the man named Ma Liu was looking at everything in front of him with a pale face, a trembling body, and a frightened look in his eyes.

In his eyes, the surrounding area was barren, the weeds were more than a man tall, the dilapidated houses were crumbling in all directions, the dirt walls were covered with moss, and the broken beams were covered with snakes and rats, and the cobwebs were thick.

Where are there any towns, where are there pedestrians? There are just huge tombs, and there is a stone monument in front of them.

"Huo Yao ......"

A flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sky, illuminating the sky, and also illuminating the stone stele, and when I looked at it, I saw that the stone stele was written: The tomb of the beloved son Wu Changsheng!
