Chapter Ninety-Four: A Trip to Shuzhong (II)

When the two of them came to Song Lao Wu's house, they saw that he was sewing the broken fishing net in the yard, and when they saw the arrival of Dugu Jian, Song Lao Wu hurriedly moved a stool and invited them to sit down, while shouting to his wife to pour them tea.

Song Lao Wu looked at Dugu Jian and asked, "Brother, ...... you" Dugu Jian said with a smile: "Brother Song, I went to the island and handed over all the things to Brother Zhou Han, and told him in detail about you, and Brother Zhou said that he would not pursue the matter anymore." And the thing you caught is still the lost property of a brother on the island, and we have to thank you a lot!"

When Song Lao Wu heard this, he felt very happy and thanked him again and again: "This brother, thank you so much! I, Song Lao Wu, swear to the heavens: From now on, I will be a down-to-earth person in the future, work with Brother Zhou, and never have such a heart again!"

Dugu Jian and Yang Ying looked at him kneeling down and swearing, and nodded to each other. Dugu Jian continued: "Brother Song, I have one more thing here that I need your help with. Song Lao Wu stood up and patted his chest and said: "Brother, although you command, whether it is on the knife mountain or under the oil pot, as long as Lao Song can do it, I promise to make it beautiful for you!" Dugu Jian took his hand and smiled: " This matter does not require you to go to Daoshan or you to get off the oil pot, Brother Song, I have some things to do now, I can't get out of my body for a while, please go to the dock from now on to wait, once someone on the island comes, please tell them, just say that the situation is urgent, Dugu Jian and Yang Ying rushed to Chengdu first, please come as soon as possible. ā€

Song Lao Wu didn't doubt him, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring the words!" Dugu Jian held his hand again: "Then trouble Brother Song, let's go first." After the two sides said goodbye, Dugujian and Yang Ying left Hukou Village, went east to a large wharf in the northeast of Longyang County, hired a fast boat, and began to march towards Chengdu.

The sky on the river gradually sank into the night, and in this vast expanse, the water and the sky merged together at the end. There was no star on the edge of the moon, a small passenger ship was bumpy in the long journey, the moonlight sprinkled on the bow of the ship, only to see the face of the young man in yellow on the side of the ship was full of melancholy and anxiety, looking at the night shadow stupidly, only felt that the ship was too slow, and longed to fly up and fly to Chengdu. Not far behind him stood a very beautiful woman in a blue dress, who was silent, looking at him stupidly, but there was nothing else in her sight. At night, the wind on the river became louder and louder, but the young man's thoughts were already flying high, and he was going to the end of the journey, the land of abundance that everyone yearned for......

The boat went up the Shuo River day and night, and the two finally arrived in Chengdu after more than ten days. It can be said that it is the only big city in the Great Song Dynasty that has not been invaded by the war, because the Wu brothers on the Sichuan-Shaanxi front line have defeated the attack of the Jin soldiers many times, and have been stabilizing the war situation in Shaanxi and Hanzhong, so the people of Shuzhong have been able to live so stable and peaceful. This makes Chengdu different from other places, gathering a large number of people who have fled, especially wealthy merchants, and has long been another prosperous scene in Chengdu:

All kinds of tall and delicate buildings are piled up, the noisy and lively streets spread out from the city gate, and the people on the streets are also busy, playing their own melodies, as far as the eye can see, it is really a very prosperous and magnificent city!

A clipper docked at a pier not far from the city gate to the east, and two swordsman-dressed boats, a man and a woman, stepped out of the boat. The man looks plump and graceful, and the woman looks slim, delicate and cute, and she is also very Zhong Lingyuxiu, a pair of independent beauties! It is Dugu Jian and Yang Ying, they went ashore, looked around, Yang Ying smiled sweetly at Dugu Jian: "Brother Dugu, this is Chengdu Mansion." Dugu Jian looked at the prosperous and lively scene around him, with people coming and going everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh melancholy: "The Central Plains area is thousands of miles of soldiers, and Jiangnan has also been affected by wars many times, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the people are displaced, but I didn't expect that this place is so prosperous, and there is such a pure land on earth!"

Yang Ying sang faintly: "Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, rolling up the bead curtain is not as good as ......" She looked up at Dugu Jian: "Brother Dugu, if there are no two Wu generals on the Sichuan-Shaanxi front, I am afraid that the people in Shu will not get the current stability, and this place will not be much stronger than the Central Plains." ā€

Dugu Jian nodded silently, looking at the lively scene, the anxiety and worry in his heart about Zhang Lin's safety were not alleviated at all: "Miss Yang, let's go and inquire about the whereabouts of Lin'er and Brother Zhang first, right?" Yang Ying asked: "But this Chengdu is so big, there are so many people coming and going every day, and those brothers from the Tianwang Gang haven't come yet, where should we go to inquire about their news?" Dugu Jian looked around, walked slowly into the city with Yang Ying, and saw an inn not far away, he said: "I think no matter who it is, after so many days of travel, I'm afraid it can't do without eating and resting, let's go to the inn first and ask, maybe we can get something useful!"

Yang Ying also agreed very much when she heard this, and the two of them walked into the inn. This inn is close to the east gate of Chengdu City, and not far from the wharf, so there are a lot of people who get off the boat to eat and stay here. On the first floor of the whole inn, there are full tables and seats, between the lacquered wood, the crowd is like weaving, the seats are full, there are people running the hall with cups, plates and bowls shuttling in the meantime, the chatter and laughter of the diners, the shouts of the little guys passing the food are intertwined, filling the entire inn......

Standing at the door of the inn, looking at the lively scene inside, Yang Ying turned her head to look at Dugu Jian again, and said concentratingly: "Brother Dugu, let's go directly to ask the shopkeeper and ask him about Miss Zhang and Zhang Shaoxia." Dugu Jian nodded and agreed, "Okay!" With that, the two walked to the counter together. The shopkeeper was settling accounts, and when he saw someone coming over, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and asked with a smile on his face: "I'm the shopkeeper here, I don't know if you two want to play a tip or live in a store?"

Dugu Jian arched his hand at him and asked: "Shopkeeper, we want to ask the two of us, have you ever lived in your store in the past few days, a pair of brothers and sisters, about twenty years old, the girl is very beautiful, and the man is also handsome and chic, with a Lin'an accent, which should be remembered at a glance." ā€

When the shopkeeper heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said in embarrassment: "Oh, guest officer, although my inn is not a very famous tuba, but it is close to the city gate and next to the dock, there are always hundreds of people coming and going every day, where can I remember so much?" Dugu Jian's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he felt very anxious in his heart, Yang Ying hurriedly asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, please think about it carefully, we thank you." The shopkeeper listened to this voice like a yellow bird, nodded, thought about it carefully, and then said: "This girl, I'm really sorry, according to what this son said, the shop has not stayed with such two guests in the past few days, it's really embarrassing, otherwise you can inquire elsewhere?"

Yang Ying thanked her and walked out of the inn with Dugu Jian. Dugu Jian's face looked a little unhappy, his worried eyebrows, eyes and mouth were about to squeeze together, he didn't get the news of Zhang Linxin, he was very anxious in his heart, and he just wished that the girl would appear in front of him with a smile like a flower in the next moment.
