The warm wind is warm, the green hills in the distance are like daisy, the vegetation is abundant nearby, and even the air is full of fresh air.
The simple ox cart drove slowly through the mountains and forests? Didn’t it mean lying lazily on the cart, letting the breeze blow the long hair, and birds singing and flying past the ox cart from time to time? The sound of milk? The cry of milk? Accompanied, this life is so pleasant and beautiful.
"Yes, make it louder, and cry better." He closed his eyes, letting the warm sunshine brush over his face, and the smile on his lips became even more lax.
"Wow-"
Never seen it in my life? Such a bad person is justified in bullying the cubs. The little squirrel cried even more sadly? He hiccupped while crying.
In this pleasant and lively atmosphere, the sky dimmed little by little, and night fell slowly.
And the nearest town is still twenty miles away, it seems that most of the night will be spent in the wilderness
At this moment, the ox cart in front slowed down, and the green bull let out a breath, and suddenly stopped in place.
"What happened?" Yuan Buwei didn't open his eyes, he was still lying there, but asked slowly.
"My lord, there is a small village in front of us, not far from us." An urn sound? A sound of urn breath? Spit out from Qingniu's mouth, like thunder rolling, "Ah San and the others sent a message, asking if you want to go Overnight there?"
Ah San and others mentioned in Qingniu's mouth are a group of little demons who were sent out by Yuan Buwei to clear the way.
After all, the first emperor was just a mortal. Even if he had a group of forbidden demon guards, with their strength, they could only sneakily capture some small monsters. For example, a big monster like Li Mo, he dared not act rashly, lest he would be caught by someone if he was careless. revenge. After these little monsters were captured, they consumed a large number of them in years of experiments. Therefore, not many were finally rescued by Yuan Buwei, only six in total.
And no matter how weak their strength is, it is more than enough to clear the way ahead of time, eliminate bandits, etc., etc.
Didn't he say casually, "Then go." He glanced at the side as if he was tired from crying, and he was lying on the side with his tail curled up, his belly heaving and falling, like a sleeping little squirrel. Smiling, "It's just right? It's good to add some water to this crying bag. It's too salty and too dry to taste."
The little squirrel's big fluffy tail exploded all of a sudden, and then quickly drooped down, trying to close its trembling eyes tightly, with a look of #我睡晚超香我不知道#, just made himself fatter .
The bullock carts are slowly moving forward in the night, and the wheels run over the barren grass. Not far away, there are little lights flickering, and the sound of blowing and beating can be heard faintly. It is very lively.
Not long after, a village appeared in front of their eyes. At the entrance of the village? There was a stone tablet standing on the ground, and the three characters of #张家庄# could be faintly seen in the night.
Needless to say, a butterfly floated from the side, landed gently behind the bullock cart, and transformed into a girl in light pink clothes. She saluted into the bullock cart with a respectful expression, like everyone The attitude of the maidservant: "Young master, wait a moment? Let the maidservant go to investigate the situation first."
After getting Yuan's disapproval, the girl floated into the village, and after a while, she came out of the village again, bringing an old man and a young man with her.
The old man's face was wrinkled, and he greeted him with great enthusiasm: "Old man Zhang Ming is the owner of this family estate. I heard that there are students from Kyoto who come to study and study here. It is a great honor to stay overnight in my Zhangjiazhuang!"
The smile on his face was extremely bright, and he raised his head while talking, and saw a young man walking down from the bullock cart, holding a group of little squirrels in his arms.
This person has a good demeanor and demeanor, his eyes are as quiet as a deep lake, he glanced at him lightly, and then smiled thoughtfully: "Then I will trouble you, old man."
"No trouble, no trouble." The old man smiled even more heartily, "I'm not afraid that my son will laugh at my ignorance in Zhangjiazhuang. A person as handsome as your son has lived in vain for all these years, and he has grown old for nothing. I have never seen one. Right? Fortunately, there is a happy event in the old man's family today, and a distinguished guest comes from afar, this is double happiness."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said: "If you don't mind, young master, come and join in the fun and be happy."
"It's hard to turn down the hospitality? Then let's join in the fun."
The two walked in while talking. An eight or nine-year-old child who was following the old man kept his head up and looked at Yuan Buwei curiously. The girl transformed into a butterfly demon obediently followed behind Yuan Buwei.
The area of this family estate is not small, and the area of sight is extremely wide, but at this moment, many houses are shrouded in darkness, only the courtyard in the center is brightly lit, and the red lanterns are hung high. Sound? Buzzling. Soon, Yuan Buwei was ushered into the courtyard.
At this moment, a group of people in the courtyard all looked at him in unison, and the old owner hurried forward, blocking sight in all directions. He laughed and scolded his children and grandchildren: "What are you doing, don't scare our distinguished guests. This Mr. Xie is a scholar who came from the capital to study. You people who have no experience, this time you can get a taste of Mr. Xie's style, Then Sansheng is lucky."
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard became even more lively.
There were more than a dozen tables of banquets in this vast courtyard, and a large group of people talked and laughed loudly. At this time, they all stood up to welcome Yuan Buwei with great enthusiasm: "Unexpectedly, the owner invited a scholar. Great news. Good, good. Take your seat quickly, young man."
Under the enthusiastic greetings of the crowd, Yuan was invited directly to the chief, and all kinds of wine and dishes were served, but? From a glance, they were almost all wild vegetables, mostly vegetables, melons and pastries, and almost no meat. , it seems that this village seems to be very poor.
Didn't you glance over? The dishes on the table, and then turned around? The enthusiastic faces did not shirk, and they sat down casually: "Since I came to the banquet, there should be a congratulatory gift. I will go out to study, and I have nothing to do. For the long-term, there are only a few altars of Beijing's fine wine, and I have the right to offer it to congratulate the newlyweds."
He turned his head to look at the maidservant who was following, and casually said, "Adie, go and get some wine."
The maid was taken aback for a moment.
My name is not Ah Die, forget it, my lord probably doesn’t know my first or last name, just say it casually...
Seeing the indifferent look in her eyes, she didn't dare to think about it any more, she quickly answered "?" and went to fetch the wine.
Of course, there wasn't this wine before, but it wasn't because she said there was, she didn't dare not have it. Fortunately, there are all kinds of little demons that she didn't want to tame, but she got them temporarily from another little demon who was fond of wine.
As soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma was astonishing, and the wine was poured down table after table, enjoying the moment.
The atmosphere during the banquet was loose, and there were not so many rules. After a while, a few young people eagerly came to Yuan Buwei's side, asking each other what they said.
"Young Master Xie is from the capital, so he must be very knowledgeable, right? What we admire the most are scholars who are well-learned."
"How long is Mr. Xie going to study abroad? Can you stay here temporarily and be our husband for a while? I'm just going to tie up and hire a husband."
"That's right, that's right, I heard that the most powerful people and scholars can win the first prize. It's said in the scriptures. Is Mr. Xie the first prize?"
A group of teenagers muttered, asked questions, and all of them were extremely straightforward. In the end, they suddenly threw a knife.
Wasn't it Zheng? Eating a plate of local specialty Sophora japonica cake, he raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words, his eyes swept over them lightly, and finally sighed lightly:
"I'm not very knowledgeable, so I barely got a third prize."
Someone asked in confusion: "Tanhua? What number is that? We don't seem to have heard of it?"
"Stupid, I know, third."
"It's only the third..." The tone seemed regretful.
The curvature of Yuan Buwei's lips became more and more obvious, and he looked at these young boys kindly. Young people are so alive, maybe they need some beatings
It so happened that a few middle-aged people who were obviously their parents came over to toast, so I didn't respond to them one by one. Hearing their compliments, they boasted to each other politely: "These young people are also talented and beautiful. , has the ambition to be the number one scholar. To surpass in the future? It’s just a mere lack of talent, so it’s no problem to think about it.”
The elders of those families immediately beamed with joy, and sighed again: "It's a pity that my Zhangjiazhuang is remote and poor, and it is difficult for the juniors in the clan to have the opportunity to study..."
"... It's okay, I'm willing to contribute."
"Is it true what Mr. Xie said?"
Those people were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe it.
The old village head appeared out of nowhere, and asked with a smile on his face: "Young master, are you really willing to stay? If these boys can really learn something, I, Zhangjiazhuang, will give all my efforts to thank you for your kindness. "
"That's not true." Yuan Buwei seemed a little surprised, and vetoed, "I still have to travel around the world to study, how can I have time? My original intention was to introduce these young people to the local academy so that they can study well. Haha, don't worry, everyone. There are still thin noodles underneath."
The smile on the old owner's face paused: "This, this is unnecessary, I am afraid that I will disappoint Mr. Xie's kindness, the academy is too expensive, and my Zhangjiazhuang is afraid..."
"These expenses are here to help."
"No, no, no..." The old owner quickly waved his hands, as if he didn't know what reason to refuse for a while.
Next to him, a young man stood up impatiently and shouted loudly: "Grandfather, why are you being polite? Mr. doesn't want to stay, we have to keep him. Didn't you say last time that you will give us someday?" Bring a gentleman here, and see if this is delivered to your door today? This is a great thing!"
Following the boy's shout?, the others stopped drinking and eating, and almost all stood up, looking at Yuan Buwei's side with both eyes, faintly red.
"Jiu'er is right, why bother to imitate people's complicated etiquette! Just grab it by force! Today, if this gentleman stays, he has to stay, or if he doesn't stay, he has to stay!"
The gate of the courtyard was closed at some time, and everyone came to look at it. All eyes fell on the young man in a thin green shirt with an innocent expression, who seemed to have no idea what happened.
For a moment, Yuan Buwei seemed to have fallen into a den of robbers.
Suddenly, he chuckled out loud.
"Leave me here as a teacher?" His eyes were a little surprised, a little thoughtful, and a little weird, "After a long time, this is what your purpose is?"
"Let's say it earlier, it's too late for me to welcome such a monster who actively wants to be educated."
He stood up slowly, his smile gradually widening.
The expressions of the others changed, as if thinking of something: "You have recognized our identities a long time ago? The wine from before..."
In the middle of the conversation, this group of people had already staggered to the ground. The moment they landed, the power in their bodies seemed to be suppressed, and each of them showed their original shape uncontrollably.
But? In a blink of an eye, the courtyard that was originally full of people became empty. Between the tables and chairs, the ground was full of dizzy rabbits lying on the ground, with their feet in the air, drunk unconscious.
Didn't he make a "tsk" sound? He walked slowly? He stepped forward, grabbed one with both hands and lifted it up.
"...It turned out to be a litter of rabbits."
