Chapter 3 Yangzhou City
"Master, the things you have explained have been done. ”
In a closed room, a man in an official uniform knelt on the ground, looked at a sturdy young man in front of him, and said.
"That Yin and Yang Twin Decree ......," the young man said, glancing at him. "I have placed that token in Xiang'an Town as instructed, and I promise that no one in Xiang'an Town will know about it. The man dressed in the official palace hurriedly replied, for fear that the sturdy young man in front of him would be angry.
"Oh, well done, you have to remember that this thing must be done cleanly, what should be left must be kept, and what should not be left must not be kept, otherwise those brothers of yours will all die. The man kneeling below nodded his head in resignation, anger on his face but more fear on his face
"Rest assured master, your orders are more important than my life. When the sturdy young man heard this, he gave him a cold look, and disappeared into the room like a ghost
The next morning, Ah Li got up early in the morning, not because he still had to go up the mountain to chop wood or cook something to eat, but because he thought that he was going to go to Yangzhou with Ye Zi and would wake up from the dream of falling asleep excitedly, maybe not only for Ah Li, for most of us, what will be obtained is the best, but when the dream is refracted into reality, you will find that the chopsticks of the dream have been ravaged into a deformed wooden stick by the cup full of water in reality.
Just after Ah Li got up and washed, he found that his father, who usually wakes himself up from his sleep, but today he did not make any moves, he looked around but still did not see any trace of his father, he asked his mother, and his mother did not know where his father was, his mother and Ah Li looked for his father everywhere, and found that he still did not see his father for an hour, and it was almost time to go to Yangzhou, so his mother went to the house to get some silver taels for Ah Li, and told Ah Li to be careful about everything and pay attention to safety when staying in the city at night
"Mother, or I'll go back when I find my father. "Apocalypse.
Just when Ah Li's mother wanted to speak, an aunt next to her interjected, "Ah Li, I saw your father go to the mountains very early. ”
Just as Ah Li was about to go up the mountain to find his father, he grabbed Ah Li with one hand. Ah Li saw that it was none other than Yezi
"Ah Li, we're about to go. Ye Zi smiled slightly, and Ah Li's face turned red suddenly.
Ah Li's hesitant way: "I, I...... I want to find my father first. ”
At this time, Ah Li's mother said, "It's not our family's business to buy New Year's goods, just look for your father and I, you and Ye Zi and they should go quickly, if it's late, you won't be able to go to Yangzhou at night." ”
Coupled with Tian Kan's continuous persuasion of themselves, Ah Li had to set off with them, Ah Li looked at the mountain that was usually very familiar, and faintly felt a trace of unease.
"Ah Li, don't worry, your father must be afraid that you will go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt by yourself today. Ye Zi said.
But Ah Li always felt a little burdened in his heart, it may be his father's strange behavior a few days ago or some conversations between his parents for no reason, which made Ah Li feel faintly uneasy in his heart, hearing Ye Zi's words, Ah Li nodded, and saw Ah Li's absent appearance, Tian Kan, who was giggling with Jing Mu on the side, ran to Ah Li's side and said" Hey, don't worry, Brother Tian Kan uses his life to guarantee, no, no, no, plus some silver in my house, as well as the remaining cores of the rock sugar gourd I ate before, and ......"
Seeing Tian Kan look like this, Ah Li laughed out loud, saliva just sprayed on Tian Kan's face, looking at Tian Kan like this, they all covered their stomachs on the ground and laughed, even Jing Mu, who has always been unsmiling, was also laughing there, maybe when they think back to the present in the future, their dream is that they can laugh without scruples like now.
"Hey, laugh enough, hurry up, you gloating guys, other people's misfortune is your greatest happiness, isn't it?" After speaking, Tian Kan strode forward pretending to be angry, Ah Li saw that he was unclear so he thought he was really angry and chased after him, and said sorry in his mouth, looking at Tian Kan indifferent.
Ah Li bit his lip and said, "I'll invite you to eat, okay" I saw that Tian Kan's face immediately piled up those flattering smiles, "That's right, good brother, just invite me to eat a rock sugar gourd, haha." ”
Ah Li looked at Tian Kan, who had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and gently slapped him, Tian Kan just laughed, just like that, the four of them walked and played, and before they knew it, they were almost in Yangzhou City, "No, no, let's sit here and rest for a while, I'm tired." Ye Zi sat on the ground without waiting for their consent, panting while wiping his sweat, no wonder they were so tired, although Xiang'an Town was very close to Yangzhou, but the road was very bumpy, even if a few people did not bring anything, but the fighting on the road also consumed a lot of their strength. "Do you have any dreams? When they sat down, Jing Mu, who had rarely spoken along the way, asked.
"Hehe, my dream is to have good food every day, grazing cattle and chopping wood at home, you see the older generation of people in the family are not like this. Tian Kan said.
"I'm not willing to live like this, if people can't make a name for themselves in the world, and do one thing repeatedly every day, what's the difference between this and death, for me, I can only move towards this goal, and I won't do other things and I don't want to do them. When he said this, Jing Mu's eyes exuded a kind of fanaticism, not just a longing.
Ah Li looked at him blankly, looking at this Jing Mu, once they thought in their hearts that Jing Mu would only smile when others spoke, they never thought that the dream in his heart was so wild, Ah Li looked at him, Ah Li just wanted to say that he and Tian Kan said the same, as long as he could live an ordinary life with his parents every day, but after looking at Jing Mu, he felt that his dream was as small as an ant in front of Jing Mu's dream, but for the others, he really didn't think about it, for everyone everyone has a dream, everyone is chasing their own dream, far or near, the dream doesn't matter whether it's right or wrongWhat is contrary to reality is not necessarily bad, and what is parallel to reality is not necessarily right. They just looked at Jing Mu blankly, their eyes were full of anticipation of their friend's dream coming true and curiosity about what he said like that, and in the midst of everything becoming so silent, the first to break the silence was still the ghostly Tian Kan.
"Jing Mu, you know why we look at you, you have a big red flower on your face. Saying that, he went to scratch Jing Mu's face, Jing Mu caught Tian Kan unguarded, and was immediately caught laughing, the silence just now was also broken by these laughter, a few of them played for a while, then got up and went to hurry, looking at the slowly darkening sky They also had to hurry up, and after hurrying for a while, they finally saw the big characters on the city tower - Yangzhou City.
