Chapter 21 A Friend Comes from Far Away

Miao is adjacent to Shu, and its territory is vast and has thousands of miles. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info there are many mountains here, although it is not as beautiful and dangerous as Shu Mountain, but it also has a good scenery of Zhong Lingyuxiu.

Look at it, thousands of mountains are wrapped around white clouds, ten thousand villages are surrounded by clear water, the flowers are brilliant, the green bamboo is rampant, and when you turn your head, you can see the smoke slowly. And from time to time, there are scattered castles dotted among the mountains and rivers, such as pearls.

Since ancient times, Miao Yu is a person who talks about tiger color change, so he is good at raising cup worms, and there are those traders and peddlers who brag wantonly, saying that everyone in Miao Jiang raises cups, and if there is a slight disagreement, they will put the cup and hurt people. As a result, for thousands of years, although Miao Yu has been separated from the Han land, it has been regarded as a barbarian because of its great difference in inheritance, and it has become more and more isolated from the world because of the dislike of the Han people because of the cup style. However, in this way, secular human affection has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and Shuoyuan has respected the ancient and eternal for a long time.

Miao Yu, Xia Cheng.

Miao people like to gather in the mountains to form villages, therefore, there are very few cities. Xiacheng is a rare big city in the whole Miaojiang, backed by mountains and rivers, with a long history, it is impossible to know when it was built, and all kinds of buildings in the city are also different from those of the Han Dynasty. All kinds of stilted buildings can be seen everywhere, many wine sails are ethereal in the alleys, the shops along the street are also colorful, the goods are in full swing, there are hundred-year-old Zhizhi, there are also rosewood ginseng, fur dry goods, etc., there are red arsenic, dansha, yin soil and other things such as raising cups.

There were many pedestrians on the street, most of the men were barefoot, with green cloth wrapped around their heads, wearing blue and blue tight shirts and shorts, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and scimitars on their waists. The women's costumes are extremely gorgeous, wearing glittering silver ornaments, wearing red, yellow, blue, white, and blue dresses, the hem is extremely short and only reaches the knees, and the slender white legs are wrapped with ribbons.

"Jingle Bell ......"

At this time, at the end of the long street, an ox cart slowly came, the big green ox pulling the cart had clear hair, the horns of the head were like knives, the divine horse was abnormal, but the body was tattered, crackling all the way, as if it would scatter into a puddle at any time.

Even more strange was the fact that on the canopy hung a large silver collar with two golden bells tied to it. The coachman does not need to whip the ox, but only pulls the rope tied to the silver collar, pulls it, the green ox buries his head and goes straight, pull twice, the green ox turns around, if he pulls three times, the green ox will stop.

All the way, all the way, all the way.

The sun came over and shone on the silver rings and golden bells, exuding a seductive light. It is necessary to know that walking in the rivers and lakes is the most taboo to expose wealth to the outside, thus attracting mountain bandits and road tyrants. Who knows, this car is going the other way, as if afraid that others will not know that there is wealth in the car, do you say strange?

At a closer look, the coachman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an ordinary face and a clean smile, pulling the rope and ringing the bell in his right hand, holding a wine gourd in his left hand, and raising his neck from time to time to pour a sip. This move made people extremely worried about him, and they were afraid that the next moment he would drive the cattle straight to him.

"Stop, stop, stop......"

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Suddenly, there was a stop sound in the car, and the coachman quickly pulled the rope three times in a row, and saw the big green ox raise its front hooves high, "moo", and paused. After a while, a little girl came out of the car, about ten years old, with two strands of pigtails, eyebrows as long as willow leaves, thin lips like knives, and big eyes, like two black gems that drop stars and hide the moon.

"Drunkard!

The little girl was obviously very dissatisfied with the driver's drinking, raised her eyebrows and muttered a few words, then jumped out of the car, walked to a cup stall, picked up a large stack of them, and then squatted on the ground and talked with the stall owner. After chatting for a while, as if he had found nothing, he shook his head, put the things he had picked up into the stall again, and walked back with a pout.

The stall owner looked down with a puzzled face, and saw that the things she had picked up were neatly placed, as if they had never been touched.

When she got in the car, the little girl didn't forget to reprimand the driver a few more words: "Drink, you know how to drink all day long, and you will be drunk alone!"

The coachman smiled: "I didn't drink it alone, Xiaoqing also had a share." As he spoke, he picked up the wine gourd with a stick and stretched it forward, and saw the big green ox tilting its neck, fanning its two big ears, and taking a big sip, and then shivering all over, gasping for a breath, and his eyes were shining, as if he was comfortable all over.

"Good!"

"Amazing cow!"

Passers-by saw it and applauded.

"Hmph, drunkards, all drunkards, don't be ashamed, let's go!" the little girl was angry, her eyebrows trembled, she stomped her foot hatefully, and got into the car.

"Let's go, ding......"

The coachman smiled indifferently at the cheering crowd, hugged his fists, and pulled the bell.

The bell is long, and the green cow is far away.

The crowd returned to the bustle, buying and selling goods as always, but the stall owner who had just been patronized by the little girl frowned and muttered: "Strange, a little girl of the Han family, why do you ask about your mother-in-law?"

A Miao girl who was picking out things to raise a cup paused, glanced at the direction where the ox cart disappeared, casually combed her hair, and said softly: "Brother, what is she asking?"

The stall owner paused when he lifted the hookah, and said with a smile: "What can she ask about the little girl who doesn't have all the eyebrows and eyes? I estimate that eighty percent of relatives have been hit by the cup. ”

"Oh......"

Miao Nu smiled slightly, lowered her eyebrows and picked up the dansha, her fingers were extremely long, just like the roots of jade bamboo, and her left wrist was tied with a pink ribbon, on which a flower was embedded, not the common camellia but a mandala, with a total of five leaves, each with different shapes. Because she is squatting, the long legs under the skirt are fully displayed, and the ribbons tied between the legs are also different from ordinary Miao girls.

The stall owner is about thirty years old, which is the age of blood and strength, and he has been quietly looking at her legs, his eyes moving up along Yunen's ankles, and the more he moves, the more bold he becomes, but he can't see the flowers through the fog, and he should panic in his heart, so he covered it with a cigarette pipe, leaned over slightly, and suddenly his eyes were condensed on her wrists.

"Brother, don't say it if you shouldn't say it. ”

Miao Nu said lightly, shoveled a handful of dansha into the bag, and then slowly stood up, tall, almost seven feet. When he got up, the triangular lines on his waist swayed down layer by layer, and he looked even thinner like a willow, which was unbearable to hold.

But at this time, the stall owner didn't dare to look at it anymore, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, his face buried in his chest was like dead ashes, and his teeth couldn't stop chattering: "I, I didn't say anything......

"Brother, you shouldn't be looking, don't look at it. ”

A breeze blew, startling the hair between Miao Nu's ears and temples, she raised her hand to comb it, without looking at the stall owner, tightened the small medicine on her back, and walked towards the still crowd.

Slow all the way, fragrant all the way.

The crowd was divided into two, with their heads bowed, and no one dared to look at her.

After a long time, the aroma dissipated, and everyone looked at the stall owner, only to see the stall owner smile miserably, bow three times to the place where Miao Nu disappeared, and then take out his waist knife and stab it into his chest.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the scimitar fell to the ground, and a small piece of broken silver fell into the stall, which was particularly eye-catching. The Miao girl's voice sounded again: "Brother, this is the money to buy dansha." ”

"Flutter la la......" In the moment, the crowd in the long street knelt on the ground and bowed, but no one made a sound.

"Ding, ding, ding. ”

Three bells rang, and the big green cow stopped next to the inn.

Four Seas Inn

Miao people live in the mountains and forests at night and have never invested in inns. This inn is set up for the Han traders who come to Miao to buy mountain goods, it is not the season of mountain goods, the business in the store is quite deserted, there are a few guests sitting sparsely, and the shopkeeper is bored and bored.

The crisp sound of the abacus touching resounded inside and out.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he suddenly pushed the abacus beads, and said loudly: "It's fun to have friends from afar." ”

"The best room, the best wine, the best ingredients, waiting for you. Hey, you cow ......" shopkeeper ran out and wanted to go to the cow, looking for a long time, but found that there was no cow nose rope, and was stunned on the spot.

The driver smiled easily and rolled over and got out of the car.

The little girl came out, glared at the coachman, pulled the silver collar and the golden bell in her hand, and lifted the curtain.

It can be seen that the slender embroidered feet step out, the straight long legs spread out, the catkins thin waist is kneaded out, the pretty and straight blooms out, and the national color and fragrance are soaked out. is really a beautiful person, twenty-eight years old, like a water glow, wearing a purple cloud short armor on the upper body, a goose yellow pleated skirt on the lower body, stepping on ink blue embroidered shoes on his feet, the wind blows the willow waist, the leaves draw the autumn cloud eyebrows, the tender jade penetrates the nose, and the Zhu Ying dots the lips.

It's just that his face is slightly pale. However, in this way, it is even more weak, just like Xizi is pitiful.

As soon as she came out, she immediately provoked the customers in the store to scramble to watch, and the shopkeeper's eyes widened, and his mouth murmured: "The fairy has fallen into the mortal, the fairy Sichun ......"

Hearing this, the beauty frowned slightly, wanted to take a sip and felt indecent, her cheeks slowly flushed, but she secretly glanced at the coachman, this glance was extremely complicated, there was hatred, shame, anger, and a little indescribable, unclear.

"This is my eldest lady, what are you talking nonsense?!"

The little girl raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily, and while she spoke, she helped the beauty to walk towards the inn, and instructed the coachman: "Drunkard, pack up your drunkard cow, we have to go on the road another day!"

"Yes. The coachman touched his head and smiled.

The second daughter came to the counter, and the shopkeeper said stunnedly: "Whether a few guest officers want to be sharpened, or to eat and drink, our store has ......."

The little girl put her toes on her toes, tilted her head, "snapped", slapped the silver collar on the stage, and said loudly: "One upper room, one firewood room!"

"This ......" The shopkeeper was stunned, why do you want a firewood room to live in a sharp store?

Several diners were also stunned for a while.

Suddenly, someone patted his head and suddenly realized, pointed to the coachman, and said softly: "Dog's day, this guy has such good luck, and I don't know that I hooked the daughter of that family to elope, and there is a little girl, but it's not very refreshing, so I let the little girl live in the firewood room......

"Yes, a room ......"

"Look at that thin body, it's really pitiful for me, tsk......tt"

"The peony flower is dead, and the ghost is also romantic......"

Suddenly, everyone looked at the coachman outside the store, with different expressions, envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Hmph!" The stunning woman couldn't hold back any longer, and snorted coldly.

She was angry, and the little girl was even more angry, swishing to the stage, with one hand on her waist, pointing around the diners, and shouting: "Close your mouth for me, close your eyes for me, otherwise, or ......" looked east and west, saw the abacus on the stage at a glance, grabbed it and threw it, and then raised its hand, only to see a moonlight exploding.

"Boom la la ......"

The abacus was torn apart, and the abacus beads flew around, and there were a few of them in the middle of the squinting diners, and suddenly there was another miserable scream, and when I looked at it again, everyone had a big red nose and was bleeding all over their faces.

"Wow, you dare to hurt someone!"

At the moment, someone pulled out a knife and wanted to rub his body and pounce on it, walking the rivers and lakes, how many people are afraid?

"Everyone, keep some virtue, accumulate some virtue, don't cause trouble, lose your head in vain. The coachman pressed the wine gourd, slowly stepped into the store, squinted and glanced at the people.

The man smiled, but his eyes were cold.

Everyone was shocked, and the smart and clever saw that the situation was wrong, and grabbed the leader, and said in his ear: "Brother, the idea is wrong, you dare to travel alone for thousands of miles with such beauty, and he is definitely not a good person." ”

"Everyone, walking the rivers and lakes, why bother to be angry, there is something to say, there is something to say......" The shopkeeper calmed down when he saw the situation, and while picking up the abacus beads rolling all over the ground, he played a round game.

"The mountain doesn't turn, the road turns. One day, I will turn to Lao Tzu!" The fierce-looking leader said a cruel word, turned his head and left, and several little minions hurriedly followed.

As soon as they left, the store was even more empty, only two little boys sat at a table by the window, one male and the other female, especially the girl, who had been watching the play curiously with her hands on her cheeks.

After the shopkeeper picked up the beads, he salivated with a smiling face and asked, "Guest officer, ...... this abacus?"

"Hmph, I'll accompany you. The little girl jumped off the table and said in a big voice.

The shopkeeper's heart was relieved, and he asked again, "What about the room?"

The little girl pouted: "One upper room, one firewood room, ...... firewood room", and pointed to the coachman: "He lives!"

"Oh?!!"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and the boy who was shaking the fan spat out a mouthful of tea, and the girl's mouth bulged, and a fruit burst out of her mouth, dripping and spinning on the table.
