Jinji Mountain Jinji Station, empty courtyard grass flat like a seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The miasma rain is cloudy, and it's no wonder that the golden rooster doesn't know.
For the king's long trip, the bottom will be, and the rice of the millet is as sweet as food.
This poem is called "Rice Golden Rooster Station", which is written by the leader of the alliance of the "Later Seven Sons" during the Wanli period of Jiajing Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, surnamed Wu Mingguolun, the word Mingqing, and the number Chuan Louzi, which is written as the "Golden Rooster Station" in the "Nine Posts of Longchang". The heroes of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty of the single road, the Yi heroine Mrs. Xiangxiang (Yi name Shezi, the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty), only said that its merits, there are roads and post stations, which maintain the political stability of the southwest border, so that Guizhou can communicate with the Central Plains, and is deeply loved by future generations.
It is said that Li Xiangdong was entrusted by his uncle to drive a few Yunnan horses to the Jinji Post Station to replace the old breed, in the past, the Ming army general Fu Youde conquered Yunnan Yuanliang King Bazavarni when the horse was this kind of Yunnan horse. If it is peaceful today, there is no war, but the post station is a must be set up for the imperial court to control the border. Although it is not far from Wusa to Dading, but drive the horse to walk, you have to walk for three or four days, this day is exactly February 20, the beginning of early spring, the earth is springing, the weather is gradually warming, all things in the four fields reveal tender leaves, green grass, green fluffy, tender and green, and the green world makes people feel comfortable to see their hearts and minds.
Li Xiangdong handed over all the formalities at the post station, and after receiving the silver taels for changing horses, he walked away, he rode on a horse on the field path, and occasionally a few spring swallows flew low, and it seemed that it would rain seasonally.
Li Xiangdong was at his uncle's house when he was a child, and in addition to his parents, Baicao Ranch can be said to be his second home. Along the way, he wondered why his parents had left him alone at his uncle's house, why his uncle had never been to his hometown, and he often thought about these questions when he was alone, and as for the answers, it was a matter of the previous generation, and he probably would never know it for the rest of his life.
It is difficult to have half a day of leisure, Li Xiangdong couldn't help but be a little heavy thinking about these questions at this time, so he frowned, smiled at the corner of his mouth, closed his eyes, slept on horseback and let him walk slowly, quietly enjoying this good time. Li Xiangdong likes wine on weekdays, but now he only hates that he doesn't have two taels of yellow soup on his body, and he is a little ashamed of the beautiful scenery in front of him. He tilted his head, closed his eyes, and walked a few steps, only to feel that there was a black shadow in the red world in his eyes, and a light flashed by, and with a bang, the sky sounded a thunderbolt, breaking the surrounding silence. Li Xiangdong opened his eyes and saw the black clouds rolling in the distant mountains, seeing that it was going to rain, he looked for a place to shelter from the rain, but heard someone singing, singing:
How lonely is it to be alone in the imperial court?
There is no one in the world.
For the heart to rush to the court to arrest, the cuckoo turned into a thousand miles.
Thousands of years have been waiting for thousands of scenes, and the curtains are difficult to see.
Yang Liuqing's youth is dark, who is among the flowers, laughing softly.
Flowers and rain spring appointment, who goes to the world, and I sing in the middle of the degree.
Visitors look at the spring leisurely walk, at first glance Qingming, I feel sad spring twilight.
The vast sea of people is looking forward to your coming, the red dust is free, and I am on the way home.
The singing voice was tactful, Li Xiangdong responded to the call, and after a while, he saw a pavilion with four eaves and four corners, and there was a girl slutting the qin in the pavilion, Li Xiangdong looked at the girl stupidly, he was intoxicated by the girl who stroked the qin, stopped moving, and stopped singing, "This big brother, aren't you going to come in to shelter from the rain?" Li Xiangdong came back to his senses and found that his body had been half-wet from the rain, he stepped into the pavilion and stammered: "Beat ...... Excuse me. ”
Does everyone become a fool in front of someone who makes his heart skip a beat?
Before Li Xiangdong could speak again, the Fuqin girl stood up, with an emerald green skirt, a charming figure, a tight waist, a thin waist, and a very high breast, showing the characteristics of a girl.
Li Xiangdong has heard of the four beauties in history, sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, but after all, it is history, no one has ever seen it, whether it is beautiful or not has become history, and the person in front of him is what he really saw, and he can subjectively judge that she is beautiful.
For the beauty of women, there have always been two kinds of men, one is purely a person who appreciates a woman like a spring scene and a bright moon, and the other is a person who is in harmony with the clouds and rain, Li Xiangdong is naturally the first type.
Li Xiangdong didn't know what to say in the pavilion, so he had to be silent, quietly listening to the rumbling thunder and watching the flowers and leaves scattered by the rain outside.
The spring rain always comes and goes quickly, the rain stops, and in an instant, the sky is bright, the sun is shining, and the Fuqin girl walks out of the pavilion to see the flowers defeated by the rain.
The sound of "ah" sounded very painful, and the girl who was walking fell to the ground at once, and her emerald green skirt was contaminated by the mud on the ground.
Li Xiangdong hurriedly looked forward when he heard the sound, and it turned out that he had been bitten on the ankle by a spring snake coiled on a flower branch. The books that Li Xiangdong's uncle forced him to read are now finally coming in handy. He plucked a "seven-leaf flower" by the side of the road, put it on the stone that had been beaten white by the rain and grinded it, and he said to the violin girl, "Girl, are you afraid of pain?"
When it comes to pain, who is not afraid?
The piano girl nodded and said, "I'm afraid, I'm scared." ”
Li Xiangdong took a branch from the tree and gave it to her, let her hold it in her mouth, and said, "You bear with it." So he used a knife to make a small "cross" on the snake's fangs, and black blood flowed out, and he squeezed hard with his hand around the blue wound to the wound, trying to let the venom flow out fully, and then he put the pounded medicine on the wound and tied it with a cloth, and tore a piece of cloth from his body and tied it about three or four inches from the wound of the Fuqin girl, and he said to the Fuqin girl: "Girl, it's all right, just rest for a while." The beads of sweat on the forehead of the violin girl were as big as beans.
Fuqin Nu said gratefully: "Thank you, big brother, my name is Baili Cuckoo." She introduced herself by the way when she said thank you, Li Xiangdong was polite, and the woman wanted to get up and walk around.
Li Xiangdong hurriedly stopped: "Girl, don't move." The fuqin girl stopped and said mischievously: "My name is Baili Cuckoo, not a girl." ”
Li Xiangdong said: "I'm sorry. Baili girl, where is your home? You shouldn't walk, why don't I send you back?" Fuqin Nu looked at Li Xiangdong's bright eyes before nodding in agreement, and Li Xiangdong carried her home.
The girl's heart was carried on a man's body for the first time, and naturally it was beating very hard.
"Big brother, what's your name?"
"Muzi Li, the rising sun, Li Xiangdong. ”
"East to the east, forever to the place where the sun rises, good name. ”
"Your name is not bad, Baili Rhododendron, isn't this a world of flowers?"
"Yes, because my mother gave birth to me in an azalea. To the right, keep going straight ahead...... It's here!"
Under the guidance of Baili Azalea, Li Xiangdong sent her home. The house is not far from the pavilion, and on the mountainside, there are some flower species such as yueji, camellia, and mandala planted around. The house is made of wood, and it is also very chic, and it looks like the dwelling of elegant people.
"Baili girl, what about your family?" Li Xiangdong was a little abrupt by his question.
"There are only three people in my family, my nephew, my sister and me, and my sister and nephew have been out for more than a few months, and I don't know where they went. She was a little worried, and seemed to be a little sad, "Brother Li, are you willing to accompany me to find my sister?" She seemed to be begging, perhaps testing Li Xiangdong, she looked at Li Xiangdong and had an idea.
Will Li Xiangdong agree to her? He can't seem to find a reason to refuse her.
Baili Cuckoo looked at him and looked at himself, and said happily: "You agreed?"
Li Xiangdong responded to her "um", she was very excited, happily went to the kitchen, and made a few side dishes: azalea cake, emperor dish (fried chrysanthemum), fried tofu, stewed yam and wolfberry. The two of them ate with relish.
After they finished eating, the light fell, and the dark curtain crept in, surrounded by flowers, and there were insects chirping all around, calling very rhythmically, and they had to marvel at the magic of nature.
Li Xiangdong reviewed martial arts in front of the hut, the so-called "ten years of sharpening a sword". Li Xiangdong as always, rain or shine, he never forgot the moment when he practiced martial arts, Baili Cuckoo watched Li Xiangdong review kung fu, and he also walked to the piano to stroke the qin and sing, Li Xiangdong was more interested in hearing the sound of the piano, perhaps he didn't realize that his every move and style was very similar to dance.
I don't know if she looked at him with fascination, or if they had a good heart, Qin and Wu were two different cultivation methods, they cooperated so skillfully, they stopped almost at the same time, and their eyes seemed to be praising each other.
Li Xiangdong said: "Baili girl, do you know where your sister and nephew went?"
Baili Cuckoo said: "I don't know, she just said to go to Usa to find an old man." ”
Li Xiangdong comforted: "Don't worry, your sister may already be on her way back." How could Baili Rhododendron not know that this was a comforting word, paused, and asked, "Brother Li, do you know how to drink?" Li Xiangdong has rarely touched alcohol recently, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't wait to say: "Yes, you have wine here?"
"Wait!" she said, "Taste it, it's my sister's wine." Li Xiangdong took the wine jar and opened it to drink, at first glance it was no different from water, and there was a taste of wine under the tasting, Li Xiangdong drank the wine of Baogu Tujiu, Moutai Yao, Luzhou Laojiao, Yunnan Yanglin Fat Wine, no less than dozens of kinds, but he couldn't pay for what kind of wine it was.
Baili Rhododendron said: "This is the flower wine made by my sister picking rhododendrons on the mountain, it has been many years, and she often joked that I would wait until I got married to get drunk with me." ”
Li Xiangdong stretched out his hand to hand over the wine, and said, "Do you want to drink?" Baili Rhododendron took it and poured it into his mouth, this wine tasted like water, the two of them drank it boldly and boldly, but they had great stamina, they were drunk unconsciously, and the two were drunk and talked about their hearts, and fell asleep on the spot in a daze, but they didn't know when it was dawn.
The day is bright, the eyes are open, the new day is still so beautiful, the green mountains, colorful flowers, the red sun, the things in the world are like this, only the intention to welcome a beautiful day.
"Brother Li, are you awake?" Li Xiangdong moved, and was shocked to find that there was a Baili Cuckoo lying on his chest, and the Baili Cuckoo's face was innocent, Li Xiangdong saw this, and stammered: "Well, you ...... When did you wake up?"
Baili Cuckoo said: "I just woke up, I have been lying in Brother Li's arms last night, it is very comfortable." "She now has a bold mental resolve.
Li Xiangdong wasn't sure if he had done anything else that shouldn't have been done, he knew that it was not good for a girl, even if he looked at the innocence on Baili Cuckoo's face, he also knew that men and women were different after all.
Li Xiangdong and Baili Rhododendron made some food and ate, and then went on the road to find her sister and nephew, Li Xiangdong said to Baili Cuckoo: "I still have one more thing to do, it will take a day, and when I finish it, I will go back to Wusa to find your sister and nephew, how about it?" Baili Cuckoo nodded and said, "Okay!"
"During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot, and the pedestrians on the road wanted to break their souls. ”
The day before the Qingming Festival, there was no soul-breaking drizzle, and the sky was still cloudless, with an endless blue sky. Li Xiangdong and Baili Rhododendron walked for a while, only to see that there are colorful flowers competing in front of each other, colorful butterflies are dancing, Baili Rhododendron saw Xing, involuntarily stepped into the flowers, limbs jumped up with the butterfly, the strange thing is that the butterfly also flew around her, Li Xiangdong saw her and the group of butterflies for the dance, remembered the story of "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly", thought that this girl is too "Tao", she finished dancing, Li Xiangdong said to Baili Rhododendron: "Have you heard the story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie?"
Baili Rhododendron said curiously: "I haven't heard of it, Brother Li, you can tell me about it." ”
Li Xiangdong paused and said: "Okay, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a dancing butterfly, and he felt how pleasant and comfortable the butterfly was in his dream! But he didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou, and suddenly woke up, and suddenly understood that he was Zhuang Zhou, I don't know if Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly in his dream, or did the butterfly turn into Zhuang Zhou in a dream?"
Baili Rhododendron said: "I understand, that's because Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly are integrated, so there will be this experience." ”
"You're so smart!" Li Xiangdong praised.
Girls need to be praised.
Li Xiangdong looked at the heavenly stunner in front of him, so beautiful, he didn't know how she did it to dance with butterflies, he could only look at her stupidly.
Li Xiangdong and Baili Rhododendron walked about 40 miles, and they felt a little tired, so they found a family and begged for a bowl of cold water to drink, and the farmer was very enthusiastic. In addition to the white water, they also brought out some buckwheat cakes fried by the peasant family and honey for them to dip and eat, and the two people were hungry because they ate the buckcakes cleanly. Li Xiangdong looked at the Baili cuckoo so bumpy, and his heart was really a little nervous, so he said to the farmer: "Uncle, I'm sorry, excuse me, we are in a hurry, the wrong stay, can we borrow a night at your house tonight?" The old man said: "Yes, but we only have one empty room, this ......" Li Xiangdong was a little embarrassed, and the old man's wife looked at Li Xiangdong embarrassed, so he said: "If you don't mind, this girl can live with me, this little brother and his wife are." Li Xiangdong paused: "Thank you uncle." ”
When the night was deep, no one slept.
"This bedroom belongs to my son, he doesn't come back all the year round, some dust is stained, and he will settle down," the old man said, "When my son was very young, he always hoped that he could get ahead, glorify his ancestors, and hope that he could break out of the world outside, but if it is peaceful today, he has empty skills, and he has also ended up with a 'useless hero', he has not returned home for so long, maybe he wants to give our second elder a surprise." ”
The old are always expecting from the young. It's just that things must be reversed, and it is difficult to get all his wishes, Li Xiangdong naturally understands, but he doesn't know what to say, so he can only comfort the old man and say: "Uncle, it's okay, I believe that the eldest brother will not let your second elder down." ”
The old man said helplessly: "After so many years, it doesn't matter if you are disappointed or not, we just hope that he can stay by our side, and it is enough." ”
In the other room, Baili Cuckoo said, "Auntie, your son will come back." ”
At the end of the hour, everything was quiet, and the four of them slept soundly in this farmhouse.
Li Xiangdong and Baili Cuckoo thanked the two elders, said goodbye to the old man and his wife, and the two rode away together.
