At the end of the year, it is a rare quiet season in the world, we don't have to work hard for our own livelihood, we will not run for our own considerations, busy for a year, people will stop and slowly taste their harvest of the year, this is a season of enjoyment, the same is the beginning of a new year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Heavy snow is falling, and the harvest and nutrition for the coming year are gathered at this time. Those experienced old people will sit in front of their houses, bask in the sun, smoke dry cigarettes, look at the weather, or mumble to themselves in satisfaction or loss, and then say hello to the old people on the other side across the street.
In the silence and emotion alone, he quietly turned around.
Time may be too cruel and too lonely for them. It may also be because of this reason that they often sit in the outside world, and do not want to isolate themselves in that small room, just want to see the outside world again.
The alternation of the year has become a time for them to rest quietly, and at the same time, it is also a sign that a new year has passed, and they are a year older, and they are one step closer to the place they least want to go.
When Xu Feng was very young, he often had the old grandfather in the village tell him about this kind of thing, and at that time he was always very obedient squatting next to them, listening to their various feelings about this life and the regrets in life, although there were many times when he didn't understand it, but now, he began to understand a little.
At this time, he was dressed in a black robe, with a handsome and unusual face, although he had once attracted attention, but it was only for a while, along the way through this small town, he was used to seeing a lot of that kind of harmonious and beautiful pictures, and sometimes he could see the same beautiful pictures as when he was a child.
A small child squatted next to the old man, the old man smoked a dry cigarette alone, telling them about the embarrassment of their parents when they were young, and talking about the mistakes they had made before, which often caused the children to laugh out loud, so that they could not laugh, and then the old man looked up at the sky, smoked a dry tobacco, smacked his lips, and a huge smoke ring fluttered up, floating out in this sunny or cloudy sky for a long time.
Whenever that time, Xu Feng couldn't help but stop, that picture was too beautiful. But no matter how beautiful the picture is, it can't replace his pace of moving forward. Until he came to this small city that was still a little famous-Wind Stone City.
A small but not small city, Purple Mountain Town was prosperous for a while, and the name of this Wind Stone City came from this, according to legend, this is one of several fortresses stationed in Purple Mountain Town, hence the name, the same because of the prosperity of Purple Mountain Town at that time, and greatly limited its development. After the fall of Purple Mountain Town, this kind of fortress town that developed with it also lost its value and became silent.
After the establishment of the Darong Empire, after the three armies each sent troops to clear the remnants of the three fields and bandits, they also focused on the development of some cities that were very large before, and a large number of people were migrated here from rich places to form a new and prosperous system.
And these seem to have been completed less than half of the year ago, that is, the materials that need to be built first have been transported, and then the personnel construction and the intervention of what forces are still in the follow-up preparations.
Although today's Wind Stone City is not as prosperous as the original state of prosperity because of the presence of Purple Mountain Town, it is at least a very large-scale town, and it is undeniable that it depends on the constructive scale brought to them by the development period of Purple Mountain Town, and similarly, large-scale immigration and population migration have greatly stimulated its development.
The large and small shops have reopened, and many shrewd businessmen have seen this rare business opportunity, and appeared in this place one step in advance, and began to monopolize and develop the business of this area.
Like what clothes and jewelry, daily necessities, inns, inns, etc., are the most needed in this city at this stage. And there are too many conflicts of interest involved.
Wind Stone City does not have any influence in the history of Sanye, but Purple Mountain Town is different, because of Purple Mountain Town, the fortress towns on every road into Purple Mountain Town are some relatively well-developed towns, and the redevelopment of Wind Stone City is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity, and it is an opportunity that every merchant and family must grasp.
Therefore, conflicts of interest are inevitable, and some people who have no strength or vision may have disappeared in this town after only a short day, and perhaps his body may be found in a ravine far away in the suburbs a few days later.
Su Feng came to such a timely time. It was just in time for this once-in-a-lifetime gathering of talents, a time when the project was about to be completed but some of the original features were retained, because of such a special time, he could see the warm picture like a farmhouse, and he could also see the powerful merchants on the side of the street.
The heavy snow at the end of the year has ended, the weather has begun to clear, and the snow has been cleared from the streets, and the whole city is a happy scene. It really made Xu Feng look sideways.
In the past, he had been to the outside town a few times, but he had never seen such a big scene, for a person who grew up in the mountains since childhood, such a painting is undoubtedly absolutely novel.
Maybe there will be a little bit of emotion.
On both sides of the street, you can still see the traces of the demolition of the houses, and there are some people who have just started the construction are busy, and in the distance, there are some shops opened, and some new shops are hanging outside to attract people's attention, and some people in a hurry can still be seen on the street. No, there is an army with a group of people who take them to some places. Those people must have just moved in.
The original population of Windy Stone City has exceeded tens of thousands, and with the influx of foreign population several times this number, many buildings have risen from the ground, but the area here still does not look crowded, and after careful planning, it looks much neater.
Bypassing the corners of many streets, you can also see some flowers and willows, although they are full of birds during the day, but still can not hide the elegance and elegance of it, from time to time there are some tall and majestic people in and out, from their dress, it seems that they are all luxurious people.
But it was such a place, but it made Xu Feng silent for a long time, because among the people who came and went, he felt the aura that belonged to cultivators, and it was a group of people. This caught his intense attention.
Every faction that wants to be stationed in one place is not only facing the competition of powerful forces who have also moved in from other places, but also facing the threat of local people. And the latter tend to be more dangerous in nature, because they have lived here for a long time and are themselves deeply entrenched. Few foreign forces brought them to their knees. Unless you're really strong enough, so powerful that you can't get sick.
In fact, in a place like Wind Stone City, such a force is even more powerful and abnormal, and over the years, two giant families have gradually formed, one is the Nangong family and the other is the Li family, and they have more than seventy percent of their strength in this Wind Stone City.
Secondly, they are all some medium-sized families with some strength, of course, they are also a force that cannot be excluded, but they are far from being the opponents of the two giant families, and if they want to gain a foothold in this Wind Stone City, of course, the first thing is to confront these two families.
And because of this reason, the appearance of cultivators is a very easy thing to understand, but it seems that so many people appear in such a place together, it doesn't seem so ordinary, and Xu Feng's perception, they all have a calm and restrained atmosphere. It's definitely not the kind of person who spreads rumors and makes trouble, and it's not the kind of person who came here, so things are a little more difficult.
But being unusual is just their business, Xu Feng doesn't care about this place at all, he just passes by here, and after a slight glance, he continues to wander around like an outsider wandering around,
But this glance has brought him a little trouble, often a person who doesn't want to make trouble the most, the more likely he is to make trouble, not because of himself, or because of others, one of the two is always intentional.
It was already ten in the afternoon when I arrived here, and after wandering around the city for a while, I found a place to stay, which was already the beginning of the month, and rest had become the main theme of everyone.
