Chapter 261: Daughter Country
Everyone was very happy and rushed out together, the bone dragon saw Wu Song, he hissed, full of joy, the horse's head gently rubbed against Wu Song's face, Wu Song laughed.
"Dutou, the old man said that the old horse knows the way, but I know the way of the horse!"
Li Laohan said, everyone thought so, Sun Erniang couldn't tame the bone-penetrating dragon, and she loved and hated it in her heart.
"Brother, can you tell the horse and let me ride it for a while?"
"I'll tell it, don't you promise to say yes or not, you know that its temperament is tougher than people!"
Wu Song smiled and stroked the mane of the bone-penetrating dragon, and said in its ear, "Horse, would you like to ride my sister?"
The bone-penetrating dragon seemed to know human nature, neighed, lowered his head, and had a posture of "please get on the horse", Sun Erniang was very happy, stepped forward quickly, and jumped up on the horse's back, Wu Song was worried that the horse was stubborn, and grabbed the horse's mane tightly.
Seeing that it did not resist, he let go of his hand, Sun Erniang gently clamped on the horse's belly, and the bone penetrating dragon was like an arrow from the string, running like flying, the scenery on both sides continued to move back, although it ran fast, sitting on it was as stable as sitting on a chair.
Sun Erniang was very happy, she ran more than 20 miles in a row, patted the horse's head, the horse immediately stopped, very steady, her body did not shake at all, Sun Erniang's heart moved, picked a lotus flower by the river, and then drove the horse back.
Soon back at the tavern, she handed the lotus flower to Pan Jinlian: "Jin Lian, send a lotus flower to you." ”
Pan Jinlian smiled: "Thank you!"
Everyone was very calm, only Zhang Qing was surprised: "This small river is only more than 20 miles away from the lotus flower, this little effort actually ran back and forth for 50 miles, it seems that there are horses that travel thousands of miles a day, not a legend!"
When everyone heard this, they knew what Sun Erniang meant by picking lotus flowers and coming back, and they were all very amazed, and Sun Erniang liked it even more, so she took the horse to the river, took charcoal, and brushed the horse.
After her scrubbing, the Bone Penetrating Dragon was shining golden in the sun, very powerful, Wu Song smiled: "Sister, if you fall in love with the Bone Penetrating Dragon, I will send you!"
Sun Erniang is a bold person, she loves this horse very much, and she is not polite, and said: "Thank you!"
Cao Zheng looked at it and admired it in his heart: "Wu Song really deserves his reputation, and he just gave away such a good horse, just casually." ”
"Dutou, the villain is here to escort Uncle Li and Miss Li to Jiankang Mansion, the mountains are high and the rivers and rivers are long, and he will see you in the rivers and lakes in the future. ”
Li Laohan took his daughter's hand, knelt down and kowtowed: "The old man's father and daughter thanked Dutou Gaoyi, and then they said goodbye, and no matter where they go in the future, they will promote the prestige of Dutou." ”
Sending away the Li father and daughter, Wu Song said that he was going to take refuge in Chao Gai, Zhang Qing said: "Brother, my husband and wife also want to establish a career, but as you said, I don't know if Chao Gai is as righteous as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, you and your brother-in-law go first, if that person is really a hero in the world, when you want to start an incident, you give an order, and my wife will respond in Leopard Head Mountain." ”
Wu Song was very happy to hear this, he and Pan Jinlian lived in the tavern for three days, and the burns on his hands were healed, so he said goodbye, Zhang Qing and his wife did not stay, Sun Erniang gave them a pair of eight sets of baptist shoes and two cooked geese, as well as some dried meat steamed buns for them.
"Jin Lian, when we are in a stable place, we will get married. Wu Song gently took Pan Jinlian's little hand.
When Pan Jinlian heard this, she was full of joy, lowered her head and blushed and said, "I listen to you." ”
Wu Song is not familiar with the road to Yuncheng County, missed the inn for three consecutive days, all in the woods, spent the night in the rocks, he is strong, but it doesn't matter, pity Pan Jinlian, as the saying goes: "If you don't eat the Dragon Boat Festival dumplings, the cotton jacket will not enter the cage", the weather is warm and cold, Pan Jinlian suffered from the wind chill and was depressed.
On this day, when I arrived at a place close to Mengzhou Road, the scenery was very peculiar, surrounded by mountains on all sides, especially a mountain range in front of me, winding upward, very majestic.
Pan Jinlian dragged a tired voice and said, "Erlang, you don't look like a dragon in that mountain. ”
Wu Song was worried about Pan Jinlian's illness, and just wanted to find an inn or a village to stay in, he looked at the mountain range randomly, and said with a smile: "I think it looks like an earthworm, not like a dragon, the dragon has horns, it doesn't." ”
"Poof, you..."
They walked for several miles, and saw a canal dug by hand, and the sails on the river were dotted, and they were all boats, and stones were placed on the boats, and the shapes of the stones were very strange.
"Erlang, where are they going to transport the stones, and what is the purpose?"
Wu Song shook his head: "Probably there is gold or precious stones hidden in the stone, otherwise there is something unusual about a rotten stone, and so many ships need to be alarmed." ”
"If there's gold in it, why don't you mine it and bring it back, isn't it easier?"
"They're not as smart as you. ”
Wu Song saw that there were artificial canals and boats, and he thought that there must be someone, and his heart was relaxed.
Sure enough, after walking two or three miles, turning a stone mountain, and seeing villages one after another, Wu Songxi said: "Jin Lian, let's go there to find a family to spend the night, and then set off when you are well, anyway, we are not in a hurry to go." ”
"Well, I'm just afraid of delaying ....." Pan Jinlian's face turned red and did not speak.
Wu Song laughed: "Are you afraid of delaying your and my good life, right? It doesn't matter, when you get better, we want a cave room, anytime and anywhere." ”
"Poof! you..." Pan Jinlian listened delicately and was full of joy.
Wu Song came to a house, knocked on the door gently, squeaked, the door opened, it was a young woman in her twenties, she saw a majestic man standing at the door, she was so frightened that she took a step back, and immediately closed the door.
"Erlang, there must be no male in her family. ”
Wu Song nodded, ancient women must accept chastity, there is no man in the family, it will not entertain men, and knocked on the second house, the door is also a young woman, she looked at Wu Song, also surprised on her face, and then about to close the door, Wu Song opened his hand, pushed the door, and asked: "Lady ....."
The lady screamed and fled into the house, Wu Song shook his head helplessly, Pan Jinlian smiled: "There is no male in her family, you are tall and cover me, she thought you were the only man, so she was naturally afraid." ”
Wu Song thought so, when he knocked on the third house, Pan Jinlian stood beside him, and it was an old woman who opened the door, she saw Wu Song, she was so frightened that she almost fell, and when she saw Pan Jinlian, she eased her face and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Song saluted and said: "We are passers-by, my lady is infected with wind and cold on the road, and I want to live in the old man's house for three or two days, so that my wife can recuperate, and the food and silver should be served." ”
Pan Jinlian heard Wu Song say that she was his wife, her face turned red, and then she was very proud, the old woman glanced at Pan Jinlian, saw that she was sick, and sighed: "The old family only has female dependents, if you take in the lady alone, it is okay, but you are a man, it is inconvenient." ”
Since he said that, Wu Song couldn't be reluctant, so he had to knock on the fourth family, this time it was Pan Jinlian's turn to knock on the door, and the answer given was still the same, there was no male in the family, and it was inconvenient to take Wu Song in.
knocked on more than a dozen households in a row, all of which were said like this, Wu Song smiled helplessly: "Could it be that we have entered the daughter country!"
"What daughter country?"
"Legend has it that in the West there is a country, all women, no men, they want to give birth, and they do not rely on men, as long as they drink the water of a river of Zimu, after drinking, in the river water, if you see two figures, you are pregnant. ”
"How can there be a place like this. Pan Jinlian thought Wu Song was joking.
Knocking on another house, the old woman who opened the door said the same, Wu Song couldn't help but ask: "Old man, may I ask which family in this village has a man who can let my husband and wife stay overnight." ”
"Nope. The old woman shook her head: "There are only women and children in our village, and there are no men over the age of sixteen. ”
Pan Jinlian glanced at Wu Song, and said with a wry smile in her heart: "We have really arrived in the daughter country." ”
The old woman looked at Pan Jinlian with a sick face, became sympathetic, and said: "All the way from here to Mengzhou Road, there is no one from home, so let's send some rice to you, and you can cook it yourself in the river in front of you." ”
Wu Song took out three taels of silver and offered it with both hands: "Old man, it is in vain to have rice and no pot, please sell us a pot, if you have wine and meat, sell some to us." ”
"I have a rotten pot at home, I can still cook, give it to you, the wine is gone, there is some dried fish and bacon, hey, no one has carried the house out of the house, but it is inconvenient for this village to take you in, and I will not accept your money. ”
Wu Song nodded, not reluctantly, the old woman took an iron pot to Wu Song, it was already covered with rust, there was a pot ear missing, it was okay to cook, and there was also a piece of bacon, three pieces of dried fish, Wu Song thanked him, and followed Pan Jinlian to the small river around the village.
The river water is very clear, Pan Jinlian leaned down, scooped it with her hand and was about to drink, Wu Song's heart moved: "Jinlian, don't drink it, if this is really a daughter country, what if this river is a mother river?"
When Pan Jinlian heard this, she was also shocked, splashed the river, and looked at Wu Song suspiciously.
"Hahaha, you man, you're talking nonsense!" There was a hearty laugh in the upper reaches of the river: "I grew up in this village, when did it become a daughter country." ”
