Chapter 182: Desolate Old Woman

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Hearing the applause behind him, Gu Beichuan turned around and saw Xiang Zhirou's eyes as bright as stars.

Under the admiration and even admiration of the other party, Gu Beichuan was defeated and changed the subject: "What do you think of this poem, Miss Xiang?"

"Nature is great."

"This story is not like "Huainan Autumn·Gift to Xiang Bai" which takes a different approach, but it describes the vitality of spring and the recovery of all things."

"But even throughout the ages, there have been countless spring poems written."

"Gu's article is one of the best."

"I just don't know, what is the name of this poem?"

"How about calling it "Huainan Spring·Gift to Xiang Yun"?"

Hearing this, Xiang Zhirou's eyes, which were already as bright as stars, shone even brighter, her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head and said in a shy tone, "Very good."

Seeing the girl like this, Gu Beichuan also had a smile on his face. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the weeping willows on the bank from the corner of his eye, and said, "I have Miss Xiang with me today, and I am very poetic, so I will write another poem."

"The jasper is as tall as a tree, and there are thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down."

"I wonder who cuts out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors."

Boom, this poem was completed just as the spring breeze was blowing on both sides of the Huaihe River.

The branches of the weeping willows are blown high.

Or fall on the water surface, causing ripples.

Or floating in mid-air, like a vigorous green dragon.

Or fall to the ground and caress the face of Mother Earth.

When Xiang Zhirou in the cabin heard this, she couldn't help but stick her head out of the window, and her eyes reflected the so-called thousands of hanging green silk ribbons.

"Everyone, what is the name of this poem?"

""Ode to the Willows""

"Yong Liu, Yong Liu." The girl's eyes were bright and she murmured to herself: "The Huainan Willow is truly unique."

On the Huaihe River, an old man in a coir raincoat was rowing in a boat.

On the boat, there was a man and a woman.

The man is dressed in a moon-white robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and has a distinguished temperament.

The woman is dressed in an aqua blue silk robe, as gentle as water, and has a pretty face.

She really is a talented man and a beautiful woman, and she is a perfect match.



At the same time, two seemingly ordinary old men came to Fuyang County.

Wei Qing looked at the Fuyang City Gate, with a smile on his lips, and said: "Your Majesty... Master, we have already arrived in Fuyang. I'm afraid it will only take a few days to reach Huainan."

Except for these two old men, most of the people in this group were fierce and armored guards.

It can be seen that his identity is not simple.

Although the leader is ordinary, just like an old farmer in the field, you can tell that he is extraordinary by looking at the respectful demeanor of the people around him.

"Well, then let's hurry up and wait until we get to Huainan to have a good rest."

"Sir, I heard that there are many delicacies in Huainan. The famous ones, such as Huainan roast duck and Huainan hot pot, have even spread to Qiandu."

"It's a pity that the chefs in Qiandu can't make it taste like that, it's not authentic."

"Now that we have arrived in Huainan, we may be in luck." A guard said after hearing this.

"It's easy to talk about. It's been a hard work for you to protect me all the way. Just open your belly and eat it. The master will not miss the money for this meal."

"I also heard that the houses in Huainan are built with bricks and tiles. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, and they are very strong."

"If we can use this kind of technology to build a city wall, I'm afraid it will be easier for us to defend the city." Another guard said.

The old man nodded again and said: "Then you will have to observe it carefully. If it is really useful, find someone to find this method of building a house and send it to the north."

Hearing this, everyone was happy.

Although I was tired and hungry, I was in good spirits.

After all, as long as you arrive in Huainan, you will find good food and warm houses.

In comparison, the fatigue of traveling and traveling at this time is not unbearable.

Another three days passed, during which there was a spring rain.

The group was really exhausted and exhausted.

Wei Qing looked around, frowned, and said: "Logically speaking, this place should have entered the boundary of Huainan. Why is it so desolate?"

"Hi, Wei Cheng... I really don't understand the sufferings of the world. Huainan is a county after all, and it is very wide. Naturally, it cannot be prosperous everywhere. It is normal for it to be a little dilapidated."

When the leader heard the words, he also nodded and said: "Even in a prosperous city, there are still places that are dilapidated and dirty, let alone Huainan?"

Hearing this, Wei Qing nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's true that I'm in trouble. We're so exhausted right now. Our top priority is to find a local farmer to get some hot meals and vegetables. We can rest for the night and wait until tomorrow to go to the bustling center of the city." "

"What you said is absolutely true."

"Even if this place is remote, it shouldn't be deserted. We'll look for it later."

It took a long time, and the group of people walked for several miles. It was not until the sun set in the west and night fell that they saw the light of fire rising and smoke curling up not far away.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In such a remote place, if you can't find someone, you can only spend the night outside. If you encounter some jackals, tigers and leopards...

The guards were fine in their heyday, but now they are short of men and horses, and I'm afraid something will go wrong.

The group of people immediately walked towards the wisp of smoke.

When you look at it from a distance, you can only get an overview. When you walk in, you can see the whole house.

It is not the sturdy brick house that everyone expects to be warm in winter and cool in summer.

It was a dilapidated and low thatched house.

Seeing this scene, everyone frowned.

Especially Wei Qing, to be honest, he comes from a poor family, so living in such a house is not a big deal.

How can a body of such a saint be subjected to such humiliation?

As if he had read through their thoughts, the leader, Mr. Xiang, smiled and said: "I am not that delicate. Take some money and give it to them. Let's sleep here today."

No one dared to disobey Master Xiang's words. Wei Qing immediately took action and walked up to knock on the door.

However, what surprised everyone was that instead of knocking on the door, they knocked out the smoke.

Seeing this, a guard was furious and said: "Don't you want to receive us? Mr. Wei, step back, let me knock on it!"

This is just a thatched house, and its door is just a wooden door that has been in disrepair. The guard is strong and capable of breaking in.

The person in the door seemed to hear the guard's shout, and in just a moment, the creaking wooden door burst open.

A figure poked out from it, and everyone looked at it one after another.

I saw that the person who came was stooped, his legs and feet were slow, and he even walked with a slight limp.

His face was covered with wrinkles, and his body was as skinny as a stick, as if he would collapse if the wind blew.

This...why is he so depressed?

For a moment, everyone thought together.
Chapter completed!
