Chapter 66: Yi Zhuang and the Swordsman(1/2)
Chapter 66 Yizhuang and the Swordsman
The green mountains are like ink, and a cloud is floating.
On the dirt road in the mountains, the Taoist is in front and the horse is behind.
The dirt road is only three to five feet wide, and there are often cave-ins and breaks. People can walk on it without any problem, but bay-red horses have to be more careful when walking along it.
A swallow hovers in the sky.
The weather is quite cool today.
Song You looked up at the sky and couldn't see anything, but he sensed the changes in the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth and the rotation of the seasons, and felt that it would not be sunny all the time today.
It just doesn't matter whether it's sunny or rainy.
Song You continued to move forward slowly.
What’s the way forward?
To be honest, he doesn't know either.
There is a bush climbing up the cliff or tree next to it. There are fruits on it. They are thumb-sized, oval-shaped red fruits. They are deep in the mountains, no one comes to pick them, and they are very dense.
When Song You heard this, he looked at the room again.
Song You just sat down near the door.
Song You turned to look at him:
"You can warm yourself by the fire."
"Aren't you moving?"
Yan'er glanced under the eaves: "There is a swallow's nest here. The original owner of the nest must have gone south to spend the winter and hasn't come back yet. I'll just stay here for one night."
Not far from Anqing County yesterday, Yan'er came to find him and said that he would take them all the way out of Xuzhou.
I reached out and picked one first. I couldn't wait to wash it, so I wiped it casually and put it into my mouth. I felt the juice was rich and the sweet and sour taste filled the air. The fatigue from the journey was immediately reduced by half.
One is the charity land in the clan, and all the proceeds are used to support the elderly ancestors and provide education for the younger members of the clan.
"good!"
Instead, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
"Not to mention sleeping in the open, in ruined temples in the wilderness, in yizhuang outside the city, and in pavilions on the roadside. I have slept in them all."
Song You smiled and shook his head.
"You're welcome……"
"Ding Dong..."
As if telling herself.
"What's wrong?"
By the light of the fire, Song You recognized that he was the young swordsman he had met at the Liujiang Conference.
The swallow flew back again.
"Just have a couple of sips of wine and you'll be fine."
"On the way."
"Then you have to be careful where you step. The person in the coffin behind you may not agree with what you say."
The cat stretched its head out a little more and looked left and right.
"But here..."
In fact, it’s okay once you get used to it.
"That's fine." Song You was not persistent, but just added, "Although it is getting late at this time, since Yizhuang is already there, it means that it is not far from the city, it has not rained yet, and there is a horse at your feet, why not take a walk
Procedure?"
The calico cat popped its head out of the cloth pocket again, and the hair on its head was also messed up, looking a little strange:
"It's such a strong wind."
"Are you really not cold?"
It's about the thickness of chopsticks. Gently break it off and tear off the outer skin. Inside is a green, translucent stem, which looks like a lettuce. When you put it in your mouth, it has a very crisp texture, sweet and sweet, with a hint of sweetness.
It has a very light plant aroma. The snacks these days are like this. They are all over the place, original and the taste is different. But you have to go to the mountains to find it and pick it yourself, which is not a lot of fun.
The new coffin should be temporarily parked, while the old coffin will remain unclaimed.
After walking not far, I saw a small stream. The gurgling water made people calm when I heard it.
It’s interesting to say that this little demon was originally very shy and hesitant to speak. But after staying with Song You for a few more days, it seemed that Song You gradually realized that Song You didn’t actually care about whether he was shy or not, and he didn’t care at all.
Whether he spoke, what tone he used, loudly or quietly, and he didn't even care what he did or whether he did it or not, so he actually became more comfortable when getting along with Song You.
"yes!"
And it was really thanks to him that I was able to find a suitable stopping point every time along the way.
The swallow flew forward again.
This is also rare.
"Destined."
Official Yizhuang was first built in this dynasty. The imperial court paid for it to build a special place for temporary parking of coffins. Most of them were in the city, but some were outside the city. The coffins parked here were usually temporarily unavailable due to various reasons.
If you find a place to bury it, even if you are unable to bury it due to poverty, or you died in a foreign country, the body will be transported back to your hometown for burial and will be temporarily parked here.
Song You followed his direction.
"Miss Sanhua should come down and take a walk. If she stays in her pocket for too long, she will turn into a fat cat."
"It's better to walk more and see the scenery."
"Let's take a walk in the afternoon to avoid running around at night."
"Only that one might get up tonight."
"Be polite..."
I saw the swordsman took off the bamboo hat on his head, and the firelight reflected a young face, which was quite handsome. However, due to the wind and sun, his skin became a little black and yellow, and his lips were chapped, which added a lot of vicissitudes. If you don't look carefully, you might be...
I think he is much older than his actual age.
This is still the case today.
There are two kinds of Yizhuang in Dayan.
Song You raised his head and stared at the sign above his head.
"Sir, it's going to rain."
"It's right here, there's no need to find the way anymore."
The thorn moss is similar to the rose and looks similar. The young bamboo shoots that appear in spring and autumn are edible.
"Something sinister."
"Be polite."
Song You looked at the foot of the wall again.
"not yet."
"It's an official yizhuang..."
A fluffy little head came out, with half-squinted eyes and a thin pupil, looking left and right in confusion:
"Where are you?"
Sitting like this, it was getting dark.
"Since we are traveling all over the world, where can we not stay overnight?" Song You paused, "It just so happens that today is the right time for me to come. Maybe it's fate."
The remaining ones were picked slowly and washed in the stream. Today, steamed buns are served as the staple food, and some wild fruits are eaten after the meal. Isn't this a fairy day?
Take some with you when you leave.
"I'm baking."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Sir, you can ride on the horse and I will lead the way. You only need to jog for a while and you can get there."
"What do you think, Sanhua Empress?"
"Is it possible that I have to sleep in the open all the way to Anqing?"
"I won't."
"Cats can't walk very far."
"Sir, would you like to drink?"
"What do you mean? Sir, are you nagging me?"
At this time, I saw a shaking in the cloth pocket.
To be continued...
