As soon as the affairs of the central capital were completed, Yue Ziran set off and headed south. They first had to go to Taihu Lake, which was the hometown of the old beggar, and Yue Ziran wanted to let his soul return to his homeland. In addition, during the conversation, the unknown monk also reminded Yue Ziran that he had to go to Taihu Lake to reveal the secret of the gem ring.

It's just that Huang Rong has a girl's heart, and when she meets a beautiful place, she has to stay.

Therefore, when it came to Yixing, it was already late spring in March. At this time, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is long, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers are flying wildly, and it is not long before the Qingming Festival.

Yixing is the world's famous pottery capital, between the green mountains and green waters, there are piles of purple sand pottery blanks, and there is another scenery, but a group of five people have no time to appreciate.

This is not only because Yue Ziran wanted to sprinkle the ashes of the old beggar on the shore of Taihu Lake during the Qingming Festival, but also because after they entered the Liangzhejiang West Road, a strange thing happened: no matter which inn they ate in, someone would end it for them in advance. The four of them were all confused, only the nameless monk ate and drank as usual, acted calmly, ate calmly, and completely ignored this matter.

After Yixing and then to the east, there is Taihu Lake.

On this day, the five of them had just ridden into a small town near Taihu Lake when a man in Chinese clothes stopped them on the street. This person is very round, smiling like a spring breeze, shaking his fat face, like Maitreya Buddha. He spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and after Yue Ziran and the five of them stopped, he said respectfully: "Son, you are invited." ”

Yue Ziran stared at him for a moment, but he didn't see a clue, and finally could only ask helplessly, "Do you know me?"

The man in Huayi smiled, took out the two balls that looked like jade and non-jade, and looked like stone and not stone on his waist, played with them in his hand, and said calmly: "I've known Gongzi for a long time, but I haven't seen Gongzi before." ”

Yue Ziran looked at him suspiciously, this person came out too abruptly, but he didn't know what he was doing, and was about to continue the interrogation, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the canopy boat on the waterway not far away.

"Tie Er, my son-in-law is not something you can invite if you want to. As he spoke, he saw the man suddenly jump from the boat onto the dock and limp towards Yue Ziran.

He was dressed in black, and he carried a black rod in his left arm, and every step on the bluestone slab made a crisp sound of gold and stone clashing, and it was obvious that the staff was a solid iron rod. A gust of wind blew, and his trousers trembled slightly, but his entire left leg was gone.

"Cripple three?" The second iron man seemed to be very jealous of this cripple, and when he first appeared, the two balls in his hand forgot to turn, and the Maitreya Buddha-like smile was also put away, but he stayed in place and was a little puzzled, not knowing what medicine this cripple was selling.

"When will he be your son-in-law?" asked Tie Er.

The lame man ignored him, stood on one leg and arched his hand slightly to Yue Ziran, and said, "Childe, the cripple san has been waiting for a long time. After that, he bowed to the nameless monk and said, "Monk, don't worry, your master has explained to us." ”

At this time, Yue Ziran instantly understood, this lame man was afraid that he was a disciple or subordinate of the scholar, and the account for the previous meal was probably also paid by him, and the nameless monk had already known about it, so he ate calmly.

But why did you choose yourself, is it just because of a game of chess?

Yue Ziran didn't understand, how could he not have imagined that the chess game he saw in his previous life had this effect. He glanced at the nameless monk and the cripple three, maybe the real reason, these people understood but didn't say, or maybe the real reason had been taken to the grave by the old monk and the scholar.

Perhaps, the reason will be understood much later.

He looked at the cripple three carefully, he was less than forty years old, but Hua was already born early. Standing there, his body was very steady, not sad or happy, but the aura of slaughter spread out of his body.

The lame man turned to the side slightly, pointed to a boat on the dock and said, "Childe, please." ”

Disdain for Iron Er.

Yue Ziran raised his eyes and saw that there were only a few servants on the boat, and they were also dressed in black, but they were smiling, not as cold as the lame three, the ships were big enough to carry the horses. As for the camel that Yue Ziran blackmailed from Ouyang Ke, it had already been sold in Zhongdu, because the climate in the south was too humid and it was definitely impossible to feed.

Ignoring the iron second man who hid the knife in his smile, he led the horses onto the boat and loaded them, Yue Ziran and his party got on another canopy boat, and slowly sailed down the river in the sound of swaying water.

The river is narrow and runs through the town. On both sides of the bank are the dwellings built by the river, the white walls and tiles are lined up one after another, there are small wharves in front of the rich people's houses, the stone steps extend into the water step by step, and there are peasant women washing on the steps. The canopy boat occasionally rows under the stone bridge, which is quaint and vicissitudes, and you can see the green moss growing in the water of the stone bridge.

At the bend of the line, there is a low and wide stone fence on the opposite bank of the river, which can sit or lie down, and several old people sit there with quiet faces and look at the passing boats. ”

The crippled man was no longer as cold as before, and a trace of an ugly smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled slightly, but it caused the old men to laugh.

Yue Ziran raised his head, and the houses on the shore were connected, cutting the blue sky into pieces like cutting tofu, and it seemed that time was also imprisoned.

Sun Fugui laughed and said: "It's so good here, I will definitely die here in the future." ”

Yue Ziran didn't say anything, turned his head and saw the nameless monk sitting on the bridge, closing his eyes and reciting the Buddha, and casually took out a piece of boxwood wood used for wood carving from the package, but then shook his head blankly, and only played with it in his hand.

The town gradually moved away, continued to move forward, entered Taihu Lake, walked for several miles, only to feel the smoke and waves, the eyes were blue, and the mood was also broadened. The boat turned to the east, did not enter the depths of Taihu Lake again, and soon saw another town, still as quiet and serene as the previous town, but the difference is that near the shore of the lake, the smoke and willows are lush, there is a large wharf made of blue striped stone, there is a village courtyard on the wharf, Qionglou and Yuyu are connected, hidden between the trees, so that people can not see how big it is.

"Childe, we're here. The lame man, who had been standing outside the cabin, turned his head and said.

"Good. Yue Ziran nodded and came out of the cabin. Seeing that there were already servants in black waiting on the dock at this time, after the boatman docked, he helped fix the boat, and then waited for everyone to go ashore.

The village is very large, so there is only one on the dock, and if you want to see other people, you need to turn along the lane to the distance or hold the boat against the river in front of the door.

The third lame man was a man of few words, but he stretched out his hand to signal Yue Ziran and others to enter the courtyard, and before entering the hospital, Yue Ziran saw a couplet in front of the door: wandering almost without being on his side, lying under him at ease.

It was too hurried, and it passed by suddenly, but it was remembered in Yue Ziran's heart.

Entering the courtyard, Yue Ziran didn't look at it more, and then he heard the sound of "haha" laughter from the other side of the rockery, and then saw a middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and square face, bright eyes, brocade and grosgrain on his body, wearing several rings, walking with tigers and tigers, clanging, and walking towards Yue Ziran and others.

He stopped about three steps away, and arched his hand and said, "You Yuren, I've seen Childe." ”
