Chapter 18 All the Way
The snow fell for a day and a night with a cold wind, and the snow on the ground was knee-thick, and it was five days before the snow gradually disappeared.
On this day, Qiu Xin woke up early, packed his luggage and was about to leave, thinking that it would be good to take advantage of the good weather to enter the city as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to delay outside the city for a long time.
"Jing Gongzi, we will say goodbye here, in the next road to the east to Mount Tai, Your Excellency all the way south to Zizhou, Qiu Xin is very grateful to the son for accompanying Qiu Xin these days, but in this broken temple for a long time, not to go on the road quickly for fear of missing the time to catch the exam. So Qiu Xin hugged his fists to say goodbye to the scholar, and Xiaobai on the side even stuck out his tongue, and he was very resentful of the person who stole his food.
"Don't worry about it, Young Master Qiu, you go into the city first, don't worry about the next exam, don't worry. "The scholar pestered Qiu Xin to take him to Mount Tai a few days ago, but today he looked more anxious than Qiu Xin to separate, but his eyes never left the book, I was afraid that he would see something wonderful.
Seeing this, Qiu Xin sighed in his heart, it was really stubborn, but he also felt a little strange, as the master said, people's hearts are really unpredictable, although he thought so, but he was also afraid that the scholar would regret it, and hurriedly said, "This is very good, then I will wish Your Excellency the champion in high school in the future, and listen to the good news of the son in the future." But the scholar didn't seem to hear Qiu Xin's words, and looked down at the book.
Seeing that the scholar didn't pay attention to himself, Qiu Xin was slightly happy in his heart, and he could finally get rid of this annoying guy, and said, "In this case, I'm on the road here, and Childe takes care all the way." ”
"Go, go, take care. After the scholar finished speaking, he never looked up again.
Whether it's snowing or melting, the end of winter in the north always gives people a different feeling, and although this heavy snow hinders the footsteps of passers-by, it also makes them feel a different kind of natural force.
Only when the snow melts into dew and seeps into the ground can the northern land that has been silent for a winter be awakened, and when the seeds sprout and break through the soil, the dead trees pull branches, spring will come, and it will be the beginning of a new cycle of multiplication and withering.
Ruixue trillion year, the farmers on the land of Huizhou must be cheering at this time, the Buddha on Mount Meru has appeared, and this year is another bumper harvest year.
In this hopeful scene, Qiu Xin took Xiaobai on the road, leaving the broken temple and rushing to the urn city.
At this time, the sun is unusually warm, there are pedestrians on the official road after the snow, the snow has long been melted, and the ground is also slightly muddy and slippery, as if it has just rained, not long after Qiu Xin's shoes have been stained with mud, and the corners of the clothes are not stained, which is more obvious on a white dress, Qiu Xin has nothing to do about it, every time he walks a distance, he has to stop and scrape off the mud on his shoes, thinking that he may have to walk for dozens of miles for another day.
However, after glancing at Xiaobai, Qiu Xin's heart instantly felt a lot more balanced, only to see that Xiaobai was dressed in white and shiny hair on weekdays, and he loved it very much, but now it was like he had been dyed in muddy water, and no one was spared all over his body, only a pair of small eyes turned to emit a little light, and his bloated figure due to eating too many tonics in the Fei family was like rolling forward on the road at this time, very honest and cute.
Qiu Xin couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and said, "Now the group of foxes on the mountain can't recognize you, look at how you get stuck." The little white black eyes stared at Qiu Xin, looking angry, and he was about to pounce.
"Don't think about letting me hold you, although the robe is early, the upper body is still clean, let's go into the city quickly, and we can wash our bodies and rest early." As he spoke, he unconsciously quickened his pace, and Xiaobai also showed joy when he heard the word bath.
Just when Qiu Xin and Xiaobai had been staggering forward, there was a sound of "squeaking and squeaking" wheels behind them, Qiu Xin turned his head to look, and was secretly happy in his heart, if the car really arrived at the mountain, there must be a road in front of the mountain, but it was a carriage, and there was a horseman with white hair sitting in front of the car, and he was driving the car forward.
"Old man, but you're going to Urn City, I wonder if you can take us for a while?" he asked when the carriage walked up to Qiu Xin.
"A copper coin. The old man's tone was brief, and after Qiu Xin thanked him, he got into the carriage.
"Young Master Qiu, long time no see. This sound shocked Qiu Xin, and before he could take a closer look, it turned out that there was another person in the carriage, none other than the scholar Jingmo, shaking a paper fan and looking at Qiu Xin with a smile on his face.
Qiu Xin calmed down and asked, "Why are you here, shouldn't you go south?"
Shouldn't Xiao Sheng ask this sentence first? Qiu Gongzi said goodbye without saying goodbye, but it was not the work of a gentleman's husband. As he spoke, he picked up the folding fan and shook it gently.
"How to say goodbye without saying goodbye, obviously I have explained it to my son when I came. ”
"When did you say it, Xiao Sheng didn't remember, he left in such a hurry, I was afraid that he wanted to leave Xiao Sheng alone and go to Mount Tai to apprentice. After listening to Jingmo's explanation, Qiu Xin understood that this scholar was obsessed with the book at that time, and even answered his farewell words casually, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't see where he was, so he followed all the way, and happened to meet Qiu Xin in this carriage.
"Jing Gongzi, you should go to Zizhou to gain fame, practicing martial arts is not suitable for you. ”
"How do you know it's not suitable, maybe you are born with a martial arts wizard in the next day. ”
“...... If you insist on going to Mount Tai to learn art, you will not stop you, but I don't know if you can keep following you. ”
"Now it's the carriage after the young man of Qiu, how can Xiaosheng follow Your Excellency. ”
"Well, after getting off the car, you and I will go our separate ways, you go to your Taishan, and I will go to my Taishan. ”
Qiu Xin really didn't want to go with this unknown scholar, but now that he saw it in this carriage again, Qiu Xin felt helpless, and secretly said that he was unlucky, so he stopped talking and turned his head to look out of the carriage.
"Young Master Qiu, meeting is fate, besides, you and I have met twice in just a few days, don't keep putting on a face, and see how old you are, it's good to be happy. ”
"Young Master Qiu, you see how good the scenery is on this road, it would be better if there were more beautiful women with you. ”
"Young Master Qiu, tell me about your pet, isn't it Xiaobai, how did you become Xiaohei. ”
"Young Master Qiu, I'm still curious about how your name came from. ”
"Autumn Prince......
“......\"
Along the way, the scholar never stopped, kept saying something inconsequential, and from time to time he was provoked by his own words to laugh, and he didn't know what was ridiculous, which made Qiu Xin even more upset, and his mood was a little relaxed because of the sunny weather, and then he directly blocked his ears and ignored him.
The sun gradually leaned west like a spinning wheel, and Qiu Xin and his party finally saw the shadow of the urn city not far away.
The urn city is really like its city name, from a distance it really looks like an urn, a group of low and small cities are clustered around the main city, the main city is tall, the small city is lowered in turn, wait until you get closer to see it and can not see its whole picture, the tall city gate is written in Sanskrit "urn city" two gilded characters, and the people under it come and go,
Arriving at the gate of the city, Qiu Xin got out of the car and thanked the coachman, and was about to enter the city, but was stopped by Jingmo.
"Young Master Qiu, I said so many words on the next road, just because I spent all my money on the road, and now I am shy in my pocket, can I... Can you ask the son to help pay for the car? ”
Qiu Xin had never seen such a brazen person, and after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I can help you pay for it, but I also ask Jing Gongzi not to follow me anymore." ”
When Jingmo heard this, he smiled, clenched his fists and fans, and said, "The kindness of the child's gift is remembered by Xiaosheng." ”
Entering the main city, Qiu Xin understood why the urn city was called the capital of Buddhism, and the monks could be seen everywhere on the street, turning into fate, praying for people, and meditating in meditation, worthy of being at the foot of Mount Meru, making people feel as if they had reached the Western Bliss.
Then forward, there are teahouses, restaurants, and inns, because this place is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, and it is in the only place where people from other states go to Mount Meru, so the business is excellent, whether it is the buildings in the city, or the clothes of the people who come and go in the city, it is more prosperous than Los Angeles.
"Jing Gongzi, didn't you say that you won't follow me after you pay for you?" Why do you want to go back on your word?" After helping Jing Mo pay, he kept following Qiu Xin, unwilling to leave, so Qiu Xin asked.
"When Xiaosheng should have done this, I don't remember how to do it, Xiaosheng just said that Your Excellency's kindness will always be remembered in my heart. Jingmo smiled and replied.
Only then did Qiu Xin understand that this scholar was not only brazen, but also flamboyant, Qiu Xin's time to enter the world was short, where was his opponent, and he was unconsciously put on the other side, and it was really lingering like a mosquito.
"The gentleman is useless, today the son pays for me, Xiaosheng has been escorting the son all the way to Mount Tai, as a cow and a horse, and he will not hesitate. Jingmo said this matter in a righteous manner, with a gentlemanly and frank look.
“......”
Qiu Xin was really helpless against this person, so he could only let him follow.
The urn city has been built for a long time, I heard that when there are monks on Mount Meru, when there is an urn city under this mountain, so the buildings in the city have some temple style, which looks antique and antique, and is more peaceful and quiet in the sunset.
After entering the city, Qiu Xin found a number of inns in the city, and under the inquiry, they were all full, so he turned left and right, and unconsciously came to a secluded place, and met an inn, although it was an inn, it was very simple, more like a courtyard, Xu was built here, so there were not many guests, only to see the word "Hakka" on the plaque at the door, which showed a slight charm.
After looking for a long time in the city to stay, it was unsuccessful, and now that he saw it, Qiu Xin was slightly happy in his heart, and he was about to step inside, but at this time, he was pulled by Jingmo and said, "Look, how can there be such a beautiful and lovely woman here." As he spoke, he raised his finger and walked away.
When Qiu Xin heard this, he looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see two shadows under the sunset, following the ancient road, step by step.
