After the meal, they both fed the horses in the yard.
It was already the second half of the first lunar month, the weather was very good, the sun was not shining and it was not cold, a spring breeze came slowly, and the old trees outside the door rustled, which was very comfortable.
The woman squinted at Song You's horse.
"You don't want a rein on your horse?"
"The horse is obedient."
"No saddle either."
"I'm not riding it."
"It's quite interesting..."
The woman continued to look at Song You's horse up and down, seeming to be very interested, and said in the same tone as later generations of men chatting about cars: "It looks like a Northern Yuan horse."
"yes."
"Anqing Shanshui is really good, Shili Gallery, but I have only heard of it, and this is my first time here." The woman smiled, "After seeing the landscape, you can go to the Liujiang Convention to join in the fun."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Before you traveled around the world, didn't you have some experience in the world?"
I bought new dental chips by the way.
"Did you encounter bandits on the road?"
"Then you're walking pretty fast."
"interesting……"
"yes."
Lingbo County is built on the mountain. The entire city is on the mountain, and the Liujiang River is at the foot of the mountain.
"On the way here, I saw beautiful mountains and rivers. I heard from the boatman that the most beautiful place is Anqing, so I decided to go and see it."
"Anqing County?"
"Tell them that I am just a wandering Taoist, I am poor and only have a cat and a horse to accompany me. Please let me go."
"That's true, I'm just being dragged down."
"I don't know where I'm going."
Song You immediately understood and asked respectfully: "Did you encounter a mountain bandit?"
The woman was speechless repeatedly.
"The world is so big, but it's not easy to get around just by wearing this Taoist robe."
"You must have some abilities, no wonder you dare to travel alone."
Seeing Song You coming, she waved to him.
Song You almost didn't think.
The woman surnamed Wu is also here, leaning against the wall with a knife.
"Destined."
"Where are your companions?"
"February 2, Anqing Horseshoe Mountain."
At this time the old man was telling stories about the previous dynasty.
There is only this mountain in total, but the mountain road is difficult to travel. Going up and down requires both physical strength and time.
After traveling for half a year, if you ask me what I have gained from traveling to Song Dynasty, counting from top to bottom, "Don't be arrogant, stay humble" should be in the top three.
"have no idea."
Song You walked over and sat down casually at the door of a house without being shy or caring. Empress Sanhua followed obediently and sat next to him, looking curiously at the child next to her.
"Horn comb……"
The entrance of this alley is like Tianshui Alley. The predecessors planted a big tree for the descendants to enjoy the shade. The descendants did not waste any time and came here to cool off every evening, early morning, or other leisure time.
"I've heard that too."
Although she was just going out for a stroll, she still brought a long knife, but she didn't lead the horse anymore. She went out alone, and her figure quickly disappeared into the bright afternoon sunshine, which was quite cool.
"Always practice in Taoist temples."
"Tsk tsk..."
"Although your horse looks a little short and thin, I'm afraid it may have been sick when it was in the belly or the mare was hungry, but it is still a Beiyuan horse and it looks healthy. It is considered a good choice."
"Thanks for letting me know."
"And a cat."
Song You replied softly.
Why speak about ancient times?
This Taoist priest is very wonderful and interesting.
"I want to go out and visit Lingbo County. I want to see what's so special about such a remote and difficult place, full of bandits... Do you want to come with us?"
"yes."
"Liujiang Conference? What is it?"
"How did Shishi get out of the siege?"
The woman looked at him twice.
"Maybe go to Anqing."
"Good martial arts skills with one step."
"There are fewer horses this year."
"think."
"A gift from an old friend."
Although she was praising Song You's horse, she had been feeding her own horse with fodder very carefully, and kept stroking its mane with her other hand. It seemed that she was also a person who missed love.
Since I am traveling to see the world, I am destined to encounter such a conference, how can I miss it?
"Is this enough?"
"Sending a letter."
Things are different here today.
What's more, the world of Jianghu is full of excitement and ups and downs. It is an important part of this era, and it is also very different from most other parts of this era. It has to be seen.
"Thank you."
I picked up a comb and saw the fine workmanship. I liked it. I ran it on Sanhua Empress's back twice and it worked very well, so I bought it at a bargain price.
The woman waved her hand casually. Her horse was a pure southwestern horse, smaller than Song You's horse. It was almost full at this time. She patted the horse's neck and asked Song You:
Song You stopped in front of a stall.
"How much?"
"Are you also going to the Liujiang Conference?"
"As long as you are willing to walk, you can always get there."
"Is it just you and me?"
The woman asked Song You in a low voice, not daring to disturb the old man.
"Have you ever known Longjun before?"
"Then why are you going to Anqing?"
"Then I'll go first!"
After a while, he saw that the Chen couple in the house had started to pack their things and were going back to Yizhou. It was boring for him to stay here alone, and he had to bother Chen Han to come and talk to him, so he took the cat out.
"Traveling around the world, I have no fixed destination yet."
At dusk, stroll back to Ganzao Lane.
At this moment, as if she suddenly remembered, she turned her head:
"That's right! I also walked by water, so why wasn't I faster than you? Didn't you take a break at all along the way?"
"Oh, there's also a cat..." The woman couldn't help but smile, "This is the first time I've seen someone traveling with a cat. And this cat is so obedient that it won't run away without a leash. This horse also
No leashes. The animals raised by you Taoist priests are all so magical."
"Take a break for two days."
“May I ask when and where the Liujiang Conference will be held?”
Let’s go and visit Lingbo County, where we met by chance.
Don't be arrogant to this world, don't be arrogant to this era, don't be arrogant to a boatman.
Naturally, one should not be arrogant in the arena.
I thought he was just on the way, even if he didn't come to Lingbo County, he would still have to come to Liao County to bring the letter. However, I didn't expect that he was just visiting the mountains and rivers, going wherever he thought, just to send a letter.
Arriving in this unfamiliar landscape thousands of miles away.
It means that the elders tell stories to the young people, or tell some things that the young people have never seen or heard before. In this interesting form, they convey wisdom and life experience. In this era, this is a very important way for young people to gain wisdom and experience.
, one of the channels to understand the world.
A group of people gathered around the old tree, either sitting on the stone steps, sitting on the rocks, or bringing benches to sit on. There were even children who climbed up the tree, lying on the branches and staring down.
"Not even close."
"Where are you going this afternoon?"
People love to eat beef here. I don’t know whether it’s because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, or it’s due to local customs. The ban on privately slaughtering cattle does not seem to exist here. There are beef stalls everywhere, and they are not expensive.
.It is more convenient to eat beef here than elsewhere.
"polite."
The woman suddenly asked him again:
"Where are you going on this trip?"
Don't talk about Jianghu being crude.
Song You also found this person interesting.
"I am a Taoist, and ordinary bandits will not make things difficult for me."
The adults were playing chess or chatting about family affairs, while the children were running around the trees and all over the ground. The children's screams were all high and low, which was very harsh.
"The road is long and difficult, but the journey is about to end."
"Met."
"We only went to Longjun and not to Lingbo. Several of my brothers got seasick on the way and got off at Anqing. I came here alone." The woman said, "Speaking of which, the original purpose of receiving this letter was
There is no need for everyone to follow my decision."
"Can't understand."
There were also children who were attracted to her and looked at her intently, but they didn't dare to get close because of Song You and the woman holding the knife.
"When I was in Yidu, I also wanted to buy a Beiyuan horse, but I searched the entire horse market and couldn't find many horses, and they were extremely expensive." The woman shook her head, "I can't afford it. I can't afford it."
"The Liujiang Conference is a grand gathering of Jianghu people. It turns out that Jianghu people from several states in the southwest gather to compete in martial arts, discuss drinking capacity, and discuss business. If there is any grievance or grievance, there are many people here, so you can talk about it in front of everyone.
It’s clear, it’s okay to say yes or no, once every five years. If you’re not a gangster, it’s normal that you don’t know.”
"Um……"
"where you go?"
"More than that," the woman said, "Later on, the Liujiang Convention gradually expanded, and Jianghu gangs from the northwest also came, and later, Jianghu gangs from the southeast also came. Now, it has become the largest grand gathering in Jianghu.
, except that the northwest and northeast are too far away, even many people who are not involved in the world will come here, either to watch the excitement, to find some financial resources, or to find some masters to recruit as customers. In short, it is very lively."
"yes."
Song You glanced at the knife in her hand, and there was still a faint smell of blood. He thought that when he met her in Yidu, there were at least a dozen of them, so the Xishan Sect must be a famous family in the world.
"have no idea."
"Just delivering a letter?"
"Walking alone is light."
"I see."
"We will meet if we are destined."
The heroine looked him up and down, with a smile on her lips: "Young Taoist?"
"Met."
Because there are old people talking about ancient times.
"as big as World, nothing is nonexistent."
"..."
The woman didn't care, turned around and left.
"I don't know."
"rational."
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a big demon causing trouble. During the rainy season, it caused a torrential flood. The water covered thousands of miles and the waves were rough. It did not recede for three years. Some lucky people escaped to this mountain and saved their lives. Later, in order to prevent the big demon from coming again.
After causing trouble, he built a city on the mountain and named it Lingbo.
"Then where are you going tomorrow?"
"Scare some people away and kill others."
"How did you escape?"
"interesting."
"Is this fate?"
Even though it is a county, it is actually very small.
"I heard that the imperial court is interested in fighting again."
"May I ask you, what is the Liujiang Conference?"
"You want to go?"
"Aren't you curious if I met a bandit?"
"you do not know?"
"ah?"
This kind of ancient storytelling is amateurish, without the skills of a storyteller, and the story structure is not that complete. As you talk, you have to think about it, just like an ordinary neighbor talking about what happened in the next village last year. But this simple way of telling it is also
It had its own fun, and from time to time someone would interrupt and ask, so we would discuss it with the old man, talking and talking, very casually.
As we talked, the children became unhappy.
If they were told legendary stories about ancient heroes, they could barely listen to them, but they were told about ministers and ministers. In comparison, what they wanted to hear most were stories about gods, ghosts and monsters.
The old man is soft-hearted and dotes on them, that's why.
