Chapter 37, Departure
Night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe moonlight is bright, and Tan Longcheng quietly falls into a sleeping child. Occasionally, the husband knocked on the bamboo and passed by, and there were only a few shouts.
Meng Jingye opened his eyes, walked out of the house, poked a small hole in the window of the house of the bell, and saw that the bell was still asleep, so he quietly walked away, returned to the room, packed several clothes, brought dry food and all his money, lifted the dragon sword, circled it with a cloth a few times, carried it behind his back, and pressed it under his bag. Walked out of the whole home where I had stayed for 4 years.
Tan Longcheng didn't close the city gate at night, after all, the security was good, so there was no need to worry about bandits attacking the city or something. All the way north. Meng Jingye walked on the trail, Meng Jingye didn't know where she wanted to go, so let's go anyway. Where it goes, it counts. Only the slight sound of frogs and insects accompanied Meng Jingye.
"Smack. Meng Jingye heard a soft sound, as if he had stepped on a branch. But it was especially obvious on this night! Meng Jingye turned his head and found that a shadow had hidden in the grass on the side of the road. Meng Jingye pulled out the dragon sword and drank to the other side: "Who?" But there was silence, Meng Jingye was on guard, and slowly approached, there was a figure still hiding inside, suddenly, the figure shouted: "Snake!" and then jumped out, and ran over there Meng Jingye. As he ran, he shouted, "Snake, snake!"
Meng Jingye did not relax, still on guard, waiting for people to approach, only to find out by the moonlight that it was the bell, so he put away the sword, and said to the bell: "Why are you here?" The bell ran to Meng Jingye's side, hugged Meng Jingye's arm, and looked at the snake in her mouth with a bitter face, looking left and right, as if looking for where the snake in her mouth had gone? Meng Jingye saw that she didn't seem to hear her words, and asked again: "Why are you here?" The bell looked at Meng Jingye's eyes and said, "Don't you want me?"
Meng Jingye didn't know what to say, so he took out the arm that was held by the bell and continued to walk forward. Seeing that Meng Jingye didn't speak, he smiled happily. It doesn't matter if it's a snake or not, he follows with a brisk step.
"What a big moon, what a big moon wow~" Bell bell jumped steps, humming an inexplicable tune, walking on the side of Meng Jingye, Meng Jingye listened quietly, walked silently, a bridge, appeared in front of him, this is a bridge built by the last dynasty, called Minghe Bridge, according to legend, once this place, there is an incorruptible county order, called Shen Minghe, the river here is turbulent, but it is a traffic artery, there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, but all rely on small boats to ferry, every year because the boat overturned, and caused a lot of casualties, so, Shen Minghe decided to build a bridge again, but it is not an easy thing to build a bridge in this place, the turbulent river, the amount to be spent is also much higher than the average bridge, and the small county, which is not wealthy, simply does not have so much money to support.
So, Shen Minghe visited a squire and wealthy businessmen and asked for funds to build this bridge, but Shen Minghe was honest and honest, although he was deeply loved by the people. But many rich and powerful people squeezed the vested interests of Baixin were taken out by Shen Minghe, so no one was willing to contribute, Shen Minghe also sighed very much, back then, there was a big flood on the river, more people died than before, and there was a student who was very optimistic when he was still in his hometown, the student's family was poor, but he was smart and wise, humble and studious, and should have become a pillar of the country, but when he passed by here and was about to enter Beijing to catch the exam, he drowned because of the boat that was overturned by the flood, which deepened his desire to build the bridgeγ
So, in the midst of all the difficulties, he said that he moved a stone merchant from other places, and asked the stone merchant to provide materials with the toll of the bridge, and he gathered the local people, and he himself personally participated in it, which took three years to finally build the bridge.
On the day of the ribbon cutting, Shen Minghe laughed three times and said, "After a hundred years here, there will not be a single wisp of lonely soul!" Then he cried blood and died! The people were all lying on the corpse and weeping bitterly, although there were no descendants, the mourners did not realize it for ten miles! Therefore, the descendants called this bridge the Minghe Bridge! The descendants carved a monument and stood next to the bridge.
Meng Jingye stood on the bridge, looking at the sparkling river, stroking the stone piers on the bridge, as if someone was whispering in his ear, as if he was telling the past of the previous dynasty. A large fish jumped out of the water, its thick scales glistening in the moonlight. "Wow~" Dang Bang leaned on the bridge, leaned out half of his body, and watched the big fish tumble and fall into the water. Swam a few times, and disappeared. "Well, I want to eat it! It's so big, I'm sure I'll be full!" the big fish had disappeared in sight, but the bell still remembered its flesh.
Meng Jingye didn't speak, and after standing for a while, he continued to move forward. "Oh, wait for me!" the bell saw Meng Jingye leave. Hurriedly chased after him.
The sky is getting white, the stars have long been gone, although the moon has not yet set, but the sun has revealed a glimmer of light, Meng Jingye walked all night and was hungry, so he found a clean grass, untied the burden, took out the dry food and ate a bite, and handed the bell a cake.
Meng Jingye ate by herself, taking a sip of water from time to time, and after a while, Meng Jingye had already finished eating. But I saw that the bell was still squatting on the ground with this piece of bread, looking at the cake with a sad face. Meng Jingye said: "Don't like it?" The bell shook his head and said, "Why can you eat breakfast without the chickens crowing?" β
Dang Dang nodded and said happily: "You said it to Huo~ You only counted." Then he began to bite into the bread. Meng Jingye walked in front, and the bell followed behind, but the bell after eating the cake was burping vigorously. "Hiccup~" again, Meng Jingye has been listening to it for a long time. Turning back to the bell, he said, "Aren't you going to drink some water?" and said as he lifted the kettle at his waist. Dang Dang's eyes lit up: "Can I drink it?" Hiccup~" Meng Jingye nodded and handed the kettle to Dang Dang.
The bell was stunned for a moment, then took it carefully, looked at the kettle, and then at Meng Jingye, and said, "Can I really drink it?" "Yes!" Hearing Meng Jingye's answer, he took a small sip. After drinking, he immediately returned it to Meng Jingye. I was afraid that Meng Jingye would be angry.
"Purr~" A sound of wheels came from behind, and Meng Jingye and Dang Dang both turned their heads to look at the convoy behind. There are three board cars, all of which are pulled by oxen, but there is nothing on them, and there are only three or two people sitting on them in each car, all of them are men, gossiping with each other, seeing Meng Jingye and the two, one person stood up, and Meng Jingye and the two people on the opposite side said: "The two on the side of the road, do you want to take the car?" I will wait to go to Lijia Village, and if you go by the way, 5 copper alone." β
Meng Jingye replied: "By the way!" The ox cart gradually approached, the first one drove straight by, but the second one stopped in front of Meng Jingye, and a person above greeted Meng Jingye and said, "Come up!" Meng Jingye took the bell, got on the ox cart, gave the money, Meng Jingye sat down and closed his eyes and self-cultivation, at this time, as long as Meng Jingye self-cultivation was controlled by himself, he would not send out a little vision, as if a person was asleep.
The man in the car greeted Meng Jingye a few times and wanted to chat together, but seeing Meng Jingye sitting there without moving, he didn't seem to have the idea of chatting, so he relented and chatted with the other people in the car on his own. In the eyes of others, the bell is Meng Jingye's female dependent, and it is a very rude behavior to talk to the female dependents of the family in front of others, so they didn't greet the bell. Thereupon. The convoy continued to move on.
