The big ship had a broken mast and no steering gear, and relied on the boatmen to support the boat, barely reaching the dock by the river. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The hull of the ship was scarred, but the workers on the ship were all excited. attracted people on the dock to gather around and ask questions.

Niu Er is leaving and going to Qingyang Mansion. The boat boss was a little reluctant. took out two servings of dry food, took out more than a dozen small coins from his pocket, stuffed them into Niu Er and said:

"If you don't have anything to eat, come to the docks to find me. You work hard, and I fill your belly. ”

Niu Er nodded.

The boat boss looked at Niu Er, then pointed to the big city in the distance and said:

"Let's go. Take advantage of the light and hit the road. ”

Niu Er carried the burden on his back, raised his hand to say goodbye to the old boat, and stepped out of the dock.

Qingyang Mansion is located on the north bank of the Qingjiang River and governs five counties and eighteen towns.

In terms of size, Qingyang Province is not the largest state capital. But because it is close to Kongming Mountain, it is famous in the United States.

When you walk out of the dock and look north, you can see the city.

The blue-gray city wall, the tall gatehouse, and the battlements on the top of the city wall make Qingyang City look mighty.

But the mighty Qingyang City always can't help but reveal the fat powder.

The pink and white colors, from the city gates, from the arrow battlements, flashed out, adding charm and enchantment to the big city.

Ten miles of Qingyang City, the streets and alleys are planted with a kind of flower trees, flowers.

The flowers bloom from early spring to late autumn, and bloom with pink and white flowers in three seasons a year. It looks like brocade from afar, it looks like embroidery up close, and there is an endless dark fragrance, bursting with people.

It is said that Fanhua was originally a flower tree in the heavenly realm. Because there is a clear mountain outside Qingyang City, bathed in the spiritual light and rui qi of the heavenly realm, it nourishes the flowers and blooms into Qingyang City.

However, the flowers only bloom in Qingyang City, and even if they are transplanted outside the gate of Qingyang City, they will not survive.

Therefore, some people say that it is because there are immortal veins in Qingyang City that secretly lead to the heavenly realm, nourishing and blooming flowers are always undefeated.

The official road connecting Qingyang City and the wharf has a constant flow of people and cars.

Niu Er followed the pedestrians into Qingyang City. The moment I stepped into the city gate, I was shocked by the oncoming hustle and bustle, and I was overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle.

Voices from all directions, shouting, laughing and whispering, so that Niu Er didn't have time to hear clearly.

The people around him, either in brocade clothes and rich manners, or young and beautiful with graceful figures, saw that Niu Er's two eyes were not enough at all.

Even the taste, the freshly cooked rice cakes and freshly boiled sugar flowers are exuding a rich flavor, which makes Niu Erliu's mouth water.

Pedestrians squeezed past Niu Er, and if they couldn't squeeze through, they simply bumped into him. Niu Er wanted to hide to the left, and found that there were people on the left, and Niu Er wanted to hide to the right, but found that there were more people on the right.

I can't hide from the left and I can't hide from the right, do you want me to go back?

There are also dozens of families in Qiantou Village, and there are also half-grown children in the village who make chickens and dogs bark all day long. If you are in a hurry, there will be loud scolding from the mother-in-law of the main family in the door.

But that kind of liveliness, compared with the streets of Qingyang City, is simply deserted.

Niu Er stood in the city gate hole, grinning and stupid. Suddenly a voice came from behind him:

"Hey, the big guy up front. Get out of the way!"

Niu Er turned around and saw a cart pulled by an ox coming slowly.

Niu Er hurriedly hid to the side, and his body touched a passerby, and the passer-by who was touched yelled at Niu Er:

"If you don't look at the road with long eyes, are you blind?"

A roar from a passer-by made Niu Er instinctively hide backwards, but he bumped into a woman behind him. The woman who had been struck let out a scream, which alarmed the two officials with knives in the city gate, who followed the sound.

Niu Er also saw that there were two officials in the city gate, and those two officials were obviously looking at Niu Er.

Niu Er panicked all of a sudden, hesitating whether to retreat outside the city gate and flee back to the dock.

Niu Er, a big man, poked in the hole of the city gate, causing the surrounding pedestrians to complain loudly. The two officials glanced at each other, and one of them walked towards Niu Er. But he was blocked by the cart pulled by the ox.

The official turned his head to look in the direction of the rear of the car, looking for a gap to pass through.

The woman behind Niu Er was pushing Niu Er hard while shouting something in her voice.

Niu Er turned his head and looked at the crowded pedestrians behind him, and found that he had no way to retreat, and he could calmly withdraw outside the city gate.

And the official had already passed through the gap in the middle of the ox cart and squeezed towards Niu Er.

Suddenly, someone pulled Niu Er and said, "Follow me!"

It's a small man. Dirty, like a beggar.

At this time, Niu Er didn't have time to ask who the little man was and where he was going to take him.

At this time, it would be good to get rid of the official errand that is getting closer and closer.

Niu Er followed the little man through the crowd and into an alley in the city gate.

The alleys are narrow and far less crowded than the streets.

The little man pulled Niu Er and turned around in the alley, turning into a remote empty field.

It looks like a small abandoned garden.

In the clearing, more than a dozen flowering trees are blooming luxuriantly, and the bent branches hang down low, and the large flowers are within reach.

The blooming flowers, the large flower plate is bigger than the palm of Niu Er's hand. Layers of petals, white on the inside and red on the outside. In the center of the flower plate, there are goose-yellow stamens, and the fragrance is floating.

The little man reached out and grabbed a flower branch, approached a blooming flower, sniffed it carefully, then plucked the flower tray and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it in his stomach.

Then, turning around and looking at Niu Er, he said slowly:

"It's the first time I've been in town. ”

Niu Er wanted to pretend to be a frequent visitor to the city.

But Niu Er really didn't know what people who often entered the city should be like.

And the little man in front of him has just freed himself again, and it seems that he shouldn't lie to him.

Niu Er nodded and agreed.

The little man tilted his head to look at Niu Er and said:

"You're honest, what do you have to say. ”

Then the little man asked:

"What are you doing in the city?"

As he spoke, he reached out and climbed the flower branch, plucked a flower from a high place and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at the appearance of the little man, Niu Er couldn't help but say:

"If you're hungry, I've got dry food in my baggage to give you something to eat. ”

The little man chewed the palm-sized flower plate in his mouth, stared at Niu Er, then nodded and said:

"Okay, then you can give it to me. ”

Niu Er took off his burden, took out the marrow cake given to him by the boat boss, and handed it to the little man.

The little man took it and sniffed it, but handed it back to Niu Er, picked up the only remaining corn nest in Niu Er's baggage and gnawed it.

I don't eat the delicious pith cake, and gnaw on the corn nest.

Are you stupid?

Niu Er looked at the little man.
