Outside the city, a five- to six-meter-wide moat goes around the city, and I don’t know where it leads. However, there is no water in the river at this time. I don’t know if it has dried up long ago or if it is not the season.
However, the city gate is closed. There are only a few large characters written in vigorous writing on the slightly taller city gate:
Chateau de Chateau!
It’s hard to tell how old these three words are. Maybe they were written by Xia Hou Rong when he built a fort here during the Three Kingdoms era. However, these three words have been baptized by thousands of years of wind and rain and are still clear at this time.
It's powerful, but the curves of each stroke are a little slippery, probably due to years of rain and scratches.
The stones on the city wall are similar, and the entire city wall and gates look extremely grand.
Between the city gate and the moat is a stone hole bridge, which does not seem to be that old. It may be that it was used to build a bridge before the construction of this stone bridge was cancelled.
The car slowly drove into the city gate.
After entering the city, we saw that the roads in the city were divided into three branches, one leading directly to the back of the city, and one on the left and right. The roads in the city were all paved with bluestone slabs, and the pavilions were similar to those outside the city, except that there were more in the city than outside.
There are some multi-story pavilions, but they are only three stories.
Xiahou Shengyuan turned the car to Qingshi Road on the right. After driving for about 100 meters, he saw a platform of about 100 square meters. The platform had a slight slope going up. Four cars were parked on the platform.
car.
It turns out this is a small parking lot.
After Xiahou Shengyuan stopped the car, a middle-aged man walked out of a small room next to him. When he saw him, he said with a smile: "Master Ninth, you are back." Then he saw his car and asked strangely.
Said: "Master Ninth, where is your rz4000? Why did you change it to a Buick?"
Xiahou Shengyuan smiled and said: "Uncle Mu, I crashed my car in City C. The car is a little deformed and I can't get it back now. This is a friend's car. Could you please help Uncle Mu wash it?"
Uncle Mu patted his chest and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll take care of it. Young Master Ninth, why are you so careless? Did you steal another's way again?" It seems that Mu Shuping and Xiahou Shengyuan are also very good friends.
, often joking.
Xiahou Shengyuan smiled and said: "That's right. I won't tell you anymore. I have friends here." Uncle Mu naturally saw Hanzi standing beside him, but Xiahou Shengyuan didn't introduce him, so it was hard for him to ask.
.
Hanzi nodded to him as a greeting and followed Xiahou Shengyuan to the right row of pavilions.
Xiahou Shengyuan pointed to the middle building in the row of pavilions on the right and said: "Our family lives in that attic. There are five grandfathers in our Xiahou family, and two of them are still alive. There are twelve grandfathers in total among the five.
Men, my dad ranks sixth, but now there are only eight uncles in the family. There are fewer men in my generation, only nine, and I am the youngest man. Men
Most of them are outside taking care of the family business, and usually only come back during the New Year and holidays to reunite and listen to the elders' teachings. Only the eldest brother Xiahou Mengran and the fifth brother Xiahou Liansong take care of it at home."
As he walked, he introduced Hanzi, and soon he arrived at the attic in the middle on the right.
The attic is surrounded by pavilions in three directions, forming a small courtyard and a second entrance courtyard. After entering, the front section is the front yard, and the back is the three-story three-sided attic.
Walking into the inner courtyard, there was a patio, and in front was the main hall. When he was in the patio, Xiahou Shengyuan said loudly: "Xiaoya, we are back."
On their way back, they never called Xiaoya, and Hanzi only called her when they got off the plane.
As soon as Xiahou Shengyuan finished speaking, he heard a cheer from the third floor: "Hanzi is here!" A moment later, he saw Xiaoya's head sticking out of the flower window of a room on the third floor, and saw Hanzi below.
, his face was full of surprise, and then disappeared, and then he heard the sound of "dong dong..." from the floor, and a moment later he saw a graceful figure appearing at the wooden stairway on the first floor.
"Hanzi..." A mesmerizing call, in this drizzly dusk, is like a cheerful oriole or a crying cuckoo. The joys and sorrows are all contained in these two short words.
.
Hanzi looked at the girl in front of him with tears in her eyes. Under the dim light, the undropped tears in her eyes shone with a light of intoxication, just like the stars in the sky shedding tears.
The haggard face, the slightly dark circles under the eyes, were deeply sunken, and the traces of tears that had flowed when crying still seemed to remain on the face. That face was like a white pear blossom beaten by the rain.
The joy when seeing him was like the joy of rain after a long drought; the haggardness was like the lone grass swaying in the storm, which would be swept away by the storm at any time;
At this time, she stood there quietly, with her hands half-clasped, her fingertips tapping inadvertently. Her breathing was very rapid, her delicate body was trembling slightly, her face was pale, and she seemed to have not slept for several days and nights.
Passed.
She was only wearing a pure cotton nightgown inlaid with green flowers, and a pair of big yellow dog cotton slippers on her feet. The big yellow dog's eyes were very big, looking forward, and the eyes looked extremely sad, and seemed to have the same feelings as its owner.
mood.
When Xiahou Shengyuan saw that this scene seemed unsuitable for him, he said: "Brother Hanzi, you and Xiaoya reminisce about old times. I'll go find my father and we'll talk later." After saying that, he turned around and went out.
"Xiaoya, are you okay?" Hanzi waited until Xiahou Shengyuan left, then looked into her eyes and said softly.
This sentence seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart. The care, concern, worry, anxiety, etc. were all contained in it, and the deep affection was fully revealed in these few words.
Xiaoya stared at him with eyes full of tears, full of attachment and excitement.
Hanzi also stared into her eyes, and gently stretched out his hands and raised them.
"Hanzi..."
Xiaoya rushed over suddenly, hugged his shoulders tightly with her arms, buried her head deeply in his generous chest, and cried out in pain: "Hanzi, if you don't come again, I think
I can never see you again."
Her tears flowed down like drizzle in summer, one after another. The worries and helplessness she had experienced for many days were completely revealed at this moment.
Leaning in the boy's arms, she felt that even if the sky fell apart and the sea water flowed backwards, it would not hurt her.
In the arms of this boy, you are the safest.
Hanzi felt her body trembling, felt the deep trust and dependence coming from her soft and warm body, listened to her cries of release, and his heart felt like a knife.
, hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly: "My dear Xiaoya, don't be afraid, I am responsible for everything. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you. Hanzi will definitely protect you."
Xiaoya cried and said: "Hanzi, I'm so scared. Grandpa wants to use me as an ax sacrifice."
