To arrive in Xiangyang in May, the time is not easy. Although the spring is beautiful along the way, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the mountains and wild flowers are blooming, Ling Qingyu lacks the leisure and leisure of the past, so he only asks Ying Shisan to hurry up the carriage.
In order to save time, he didn't go to the town on purpose, and slept outside at night. After walking the mountain road for more than ten days, he walked out of the mountain and entered Fuzhou.
Ling Qingyu slowly returned to the state of super full blood replenished by Alan. After more than ten days of ups and downs, he also felt tired, so he stayed in an inn in Fuzhou.
Fuzhou is the former residence of Wang Anshi, but although celebrities and talents in this world are as bright as stars, there are many poems, many of which are familiar before, but the names of the authors are not familiar to him. Everything has changed. The well-known Wang Anshi also disappeared, maybe he hasn't been born yet
Sitting in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, watching the Fuhe River meandering through the bottom, the green silk brushing the willows by the river, and a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse passing by the river.
A few literati were chanting new words in a small pavilion by the river, and the ups and downs of their voices were really pleasant.
"The flowers fall helplessly, and the swallows return like deja vu." Ling Qingyu lightly recited the words and sentences that the literati read, and smiled quietly. Sure enough, good writing and poetry, even if they don't call them by that name, will still be praised by the world.
Ye Shiyi glanced at her, poured her a cup of tea after making the tea, and asked, "Sister likes this too?"
"It's good to recite this kind of graceful poems occasionally, but I like this kind more." Clearing his throat, Ling Qingyu read: "The river goes east, the waves wash away, and there is a romantic person through the ages. To the west of the old base, human nature is , Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and there are so many heroes at that time. Thinking back to the time when Gongjin was married, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, with a majestic appearance, a feather fan and a scarf, talking While laughing, the masts and sculls disappear in ashes and smoke, and the spirit of the old country wanders. The amorous love should laugh at me, and the flowers will bloom early. The world is like a dream, and a bottle is still pouring into the river and the moon."
Ye Shiyi stopped pouring tea, watched Ling Qingyu's ups and downs chanting quietly, paused for a moment, and said in Ling Qingyu's eyes, "My sister wrote this word very imposingly. .”
"Wrong," Ling Qingyu took a sip of the tea bowl from his hand, and said with a smile, "I didn't write this, it was written by a genius, a great genius! I don't remember many poems, so this is one of them. "
"What do you remember, sister?" Ye Shiyi asked after emptying the tea bowl that was poured out.
"Li Bai's going to drink and be a knight." Ling Qingyu laughed.
Ye Shiyi smiled unknowingly, this is indeed her demeanor, after a pause, Ye Shiyi blurted out the words that had wandered around in his mind for many days: "Sister, why do you raise us and Shiliuye?" To be the virgin boy for healing
"Why?" Ling Qingyu propped his cheeks with one hand, looked at Ye Shishi, and said, "If you can afford it, you can raise it. Don't you want to let you starve to death outside?"
Seeing that Ye Shiyi's expression was a bit wrong, Ling Qingyu pinched his face and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I just hope that you can grow up, learn skills, and find your own place in this world. Ling family, I naturally welcome, if you want to go out to open up the world by yourself, I will be very happy to send you out. So if you want to start a career, my sister will support you."
"The master." Ying Shisan hurried in and said, "We may have to take some detours."
"What's the matter?" Ling Qingyu asked in surprise. When he arrived in Fuzhou, he entered the Panyang Lake Plain. The road to Xiangyang should be easy.
"Some refugees gathered together to become bandits, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits, and the road to Jiangzhou was blocked," Ying Shisan said.
"Has there already been an uprising by refugees?" Ling Qingyu frowned unconsciously. After the catastrophe, there was no good rescue, and now it is the time when there is no one to pick up. I am afraid that those people will not be able to survive.
Ying Shisan glanced at her, not pursuing the word "rebellion", and said: "It is said that there are Jianghu sects participating this time, and there are many soldiers sent by the imperial court."
"People in the rivers and lakes also have to eat." Ling Qingyu sighed: "We can't control so much anymore, let's take a detour." It would be foolish to spend money and food, and now Zheng Xi and Cai Jingfang are still collecting food However, Liangzhe Road had a bumper harvest of grain last year. Not only did their own fields have a good harvest, but they also bought a lot more grain. They all buried the grain deep and hid it according to Ling Qingyu's instructions. "En." Ying Shisan responded, and was about to go out, but was held back by Ling Qingyu.
"Eat first, those things can't be delayed." Ling Qingyu pulled him to sit down on the seat and said.
After eating, Shadow Thirteen went to lead the horse-drawn cart first, and then Ling Qingyu walked out of the box. After taking two steps, he was startled by a loud noise.
Downstairs a burly man slapped a huge ax on the table, and said: "My mountain-digging ax cost a hundred taels of silver to make, and now it's worth your meal, isn't it enough?" ?”
"Here, guest, it's useless for us to use this axe." Xiao Er said with a bitter face.
"Guest, it's just money. If you can't afford it, there's a steamed bun shop across the street, one bun and two copper coins." Another waiter came up from behind and said.
The big man's face was flushed red, and he said: "How can you collect money like this, you only need two green vegetables!"
"Guest officer, you are wrong here. Although our cabbage is cabbage, the soup is made by stewing chicken, duck and fish for a whole day. It is a discount for charging you so much." Xiao Er took out the soup. Picking out his ears, he said, "Don't come in if you don't have money. Why, do you want to eat Bawang's meal now? It's okay to eat Bawang's meal, just keep one hand."
There were laughing sounds from all around, the man's face became even redder, and he put his hands on the table, picked up the axe, and was about to chop it off.
"Wait, brother Wu, I've been waiting for you upstairs for so long, why did you eat downstairs?" Ling Qingyu went downstairs while talking.
"Ah?" The big man was stopped by her roar, watched her approaching, and said, "Girl, my surname is not Wu."
"Then what's your surname?" Ling Qingyu smiled, turned around and took the money bag from Ye Shishi, threw a piece of silver to Xiao Er, and said, "Is it enough?"
The silver was afraid of two taels, Xiao Er hurriedly smiled and said: "That's enough, I don't know this girl is your friend, I offended you, offended me."
"My surname is Ling, Ling Yunfei." After Ling Qingyu walked out of the gate, the big man clasped his fists and said, "Ling does not receive favors in vain, so just tell me if you have any orders."
Ling Qingyu laughed out loud, and said: "It turns out that we are really from the same family, and my surname is also Ling. We were a family eight hundred years ago, so you don't have to be polite."
"That's no good, girl, if you don't let me repay this love, I can't sleep well." The big man said.
The man had a beard on his face, but his eyes were staring at her persistently, Ling Qingyu felt a little dizzy, and said, "But I really don't have anything for you to do."
"Then I'll give you my hand back." The big man took the ax off his back and raised his hand.
Ling Qingyu hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "Don't, don't, your hands can't be eaten, so why cut them?"
"The head of the house?" Ying Shisan was driving the carriage over, and saw that the big man seemed to be entangled with Ling Qingyu, swinging the giant ax in his hand, jumped off the carriage, drew his long sword, stabbed at Ling Yunfei, and shouted: " Let go of the boss!"
"Stop Shisan." Ling Qingyu yelled in time, and then saw Ying Shisan's sword stopped right on the wrist that the big man deliberately pulled over.
Ling Qingyu was a little overwhelmed, so he had to say: "Well, if you really want to repay this favor, I heard that there are thieves around here, why don't you be my guard for a day?"
"The master?" Ying Shisan looked at Ling Qingyu, doubting my ability? Looking for such an unknown person
Ling Yunfei sized up Ying Shisan, and then also sized Ye Shishi who was standing behind Ling Qingyu, and said, "You paid me two taels of silver, and I will protect you for half a month, but I have to take care of you enough." .”
Ling Qingyu hesitated, seeing that the big man was about to cut off his hands again, he hurriedly said, "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed, Ling Yunfei threw the huge ax on his back and said with a smile: "The girl will give me something to eat, the two plates of cabbage are really not full."
Ling Qingyu shook his head and told Ye Shishi to go buy some cooked food, and then looked at a group of beggars gathered at the entrance of the alley. Those beggars were all young children in ragged clothes.
"Shisan, give me some money." Ling Qingyu said to Ying Shisan, who was still staring.
After taking the money bag, Ling Qingyu walked to the steamed bun shop opposite, asking the store to wrap all the steamed buns in cloth, and then walked to the group of beggars.
Seeing her coming, those children stared at the big bag of food in her hand while looking at her vigilantly.
Spreading the burden on the ground, several children rushed forward, but Ling Qingyu beat him, saying: "Don't grab it, take it one by one."
Starting from the big and small children, each of them grabbed two steamed buns or steamed buns in one hand, and then hid aside and ate them. The last two weak children carefully held the last two steamed buns, glanced at Ling Qingyu, and quickly stuffed the steamed buns into their mouths inside.
Ying Shisan came over with the steamed buns that had just come out of the cage, knelt down beside Ling Qingyu, handed the steamed buns to the two children, and said, "Go this way, there are many such children on the road, and you can't handle the head of the house."
"Yes," Ling Qingyu sighed, stood up, and said, "I can only help for a while."
"Come here." Ling Qingyu called out to the eldest of the group of children. It was under his staring eyes just now that those children honestly took them one by one, which seemed to be heads.
The child was about twelve years old, approached slowly with vigilant eyes, stood three steps away from her, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Come with me." Ling Qingyu took him to the steamed bun shop, and said to the boss: "Shopkeeper, I will give you the money, please give these children some food every day." Then, he put a silver coin on the table superior.
The ingot of silver was probably as much as twenty taels, the boss immediately took it with a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, okay."
"If he doesn't give you food, you'll have to make trouble with him, you know?" Ling Qingyu turned and said to the stunned child.
Seeing the child's dumbfounded look, Ling Qingyu sighed again, and brought him back to the alley. Seeing that there was no one else around, he put an ingot of silver in his hand, and said, "Don't be robbed by someone."
Seeing the child nodding, Ling Qingyu patted his head and walked towards the carriage.
