Chapter 106: Folk customs do not change, both pros and cons (1)
It's a pity that I sit in front of the table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods.
After all, after the war, although there was no major intrusion, the people were still frightened, fearing that one day they would be killed by the Qin sergeants' swords.
Therefore, in the few days after the city was broken, few people went out in the crowded city of Furong. If they did not know that there was someone in the house, they would have thought that when the Qin army arrived, the people of Shu had already evacuated, and unsuspecting people saw it.
, one should think that today’s Shu has only ten rooms and nine empty rooms.
Xuanyingli came a few days ago and went to the main street of Furong City. He found that the people of the former Shu region and now the people of the Qin region were poking their heads and ears in their houses to observe the movements of the Qin soldiers.
Although the people were secretive, Xuan Yingli still discovered something was wrong. The rest of the people in Furong City were good, except for the beautiful woman, who was almost invisible.
Although the Shu region has Nanshan Mountain as a natural barrier, headed by Rong Di, facing the Chu region, although the people's customs are somewhat uncivilized. However, the local products in the Shu region are rich, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people raised in the Shu region are all bright and clean.
Those who were somewhat pretty were either young children or old women, and those in their prime were all plain-looking. Obviously something was wrong with this matter.
The next day, Xuan Yingli put on a disguise, led a few followers, and went straight out to inquire.
Because of Xuan Yingli's deliberate inquiring, and the subsequent changes in customs and customs, Shu was able to integrate with Qin more quickly.
Worried that someone might recognize their group, they went straight to a remote place to inquire. They were shocked to see that the village was desolate and almost uninhabited.
But seeing an old man returning with his salary, he hurriedly greeted the general and said with a bow, "Old man, I am a traveling scholar. I passed by this place by chance. It is getting late now and no one at home knows the way. Can you give me some advice on where to rest?"
Last night."
When the old man saw dozens of people, he was startled and thought he had met a bandit.
Under the sunset, surrounded by green trees, the fragrance of flowers overflowed, and the polite students taught him to relax a little bit of vigilance, but despite the fact that the opponent was outnumbered, he was still a little scared.
Xuan Yingli saw the old man's expression and knew that he was scared, so he said, "My father-in-law, I am young, and the elders in the family are worried, so I have sent someone to protect you. I hope that my father-in-law will not be worried."
My mother was worried because my son had traveled thousands of miles. If he was someone sent by his elders, it would be fine. But looking at the appearance of these servants, they still had a sense of sharpness in their swords being drawn out of their sheaths, which made them quite frightened.
Xuan Yingli only chose a few people, who were good soldiers in the army, but there was no doubt about it. He missed the opportunity to cover up his sharpness, and passed it back to the country, where the Xuan clan's interested people found out and came to the door because of their blood relatives.
Blessings. I won’t mention this.
Although the old man was frightened, he still led a few people along the tree-lined path and walked out slowly.
The New Year is also the time of harvest. The trees on both sides of the trail are full of red, yellow, green and orange fruits. It is indeed a fertile land. In such a remote place, there are still fruits to eat.
fruit.
After consulting with my father-in-law, I found out that this was a no-man’s land. I also knew that no one dared to try the bright-colored fruits in the past. They were worried that the fruits would harm people. One day, a gang of rogues in the village were too lazy to give birth and picked them secretly.
After he left, the villagers saw that nothing happened to him, so they realized that it was edible.
After thanking his father-in-law, Xuanyingli and his followers went straight forward, picked a few fruits, washed them in the water in the forest, and separated them from the old man. The old man refused again and again, and accepted them.
Everyone started to eat together. The old man looked at Xuan Yingli and his party, eating together with him. He didn't show any discomfort at all, and he felt very close to him.
When they arrived in the village, the old man took the initiative to introduce Xuanying and said to the people in the village, "Ali is my nephew from far away. He came to the village to stay here today. You must take good care of me and don't let ignorant people bully you."
Let’s go.”
Aunt Hua, who lives next door to Lao Fang, replied, "Oh, Lao Fang, when did you have such a handsome youngster? Has he been betrothed to someone else? Aunt Hua lives in my house."
Halfway through the words, his expression suddenly changed. He stopped his words immediately and said with a forced smile, "Good boy, you can live in Peach Blossom Village with peace of mind. You can stay there for as long as you want. Everyone in the village who has a good eye is a good person."
Get along with the people."
Xuan Yingli nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for Aunt Hua's kindness, Yingli will remember it." Although he was curious and Aunt Hua didn't finish her words, he knew that this was not the time, but he had a hunch in his heart that this would happen.
The matter must be related to something strange in Furong City.
In the evening of that day, people in Taohua Village knew that a handsome young man had come to Lao Fang's family, and they all rushed to see him. Those who heard him praised him with their tongues, and those who were waiting at home and heard the reports of those who left and returned home were also fascinated by him.
Looking at the villagers who came after hearing the news, there were even a few people who came straight to Lao Fang's home carrying their rice bowls and forgetting to put in the food.
Some brave people even took advantage of the crowd to touch Xuan Yingli's hand or face secretly, thinking that the nephew of the old Fang family had eaten a lot of water and rice to look so handsome. If so.
The villagers, who had something to hide in their hearts, hurried home according to the way they came and discussed it with their family. Lao Fang looked at the scene in front of him and smiled without saying a word. Xuan Yingli even found little pearls under his smile, reflecting on the fire.
, especially obvious.
As if aware of Xuan Yingli's gaze, Lao Fang turned around, turned his back to him, lifted his sleeves and wiped them between his brows and eyes.
The cloud of doubt was so heavy that Xuan Yingli seemed to have stepped into a fog. He only needed a little starlight to escape. Taohua Village is now this starlight.
The villagers who worked hard during the day fell asleep early at night. Xuan Yingli, who was tossing and turning, even heard a few snoring sounds, which were particularly clear mixed in the quiet night sky.
Xuan Yingli, who was about to turn over again, heard some noises outside, and immediately stopped. He held back his breath, raised his ears, and listened carefully. Although a gentleman is said to be disrespectful and don't listen, but in order to find out what happened, he didn't care.
A lot.
Although armed with force, the two people talking were extremely quiet, for fear of disturbing others. Xuan Yingli could only vaguely hear a man and a woman, who seemed to be discussing.
Listening carefully, the man's voice should be Lao Fang, and the woman should be Lao Fang's wife. Lao Fang seemed to be proposing something, but Lao Fang's wife tried her best to object. Then, to no avail, the matter was settled. Soon,
Old Fang's snoring sound could be heard.
Xuan Yingli couldn't fall asleep. He was still not sleepy at the third watch of the rooster's crow. He had to go over it in his mind. What he had seen and heard in the past few days, his consciousness gradually became sleepy. The flash of inspiration taught him
He woke up instantly.
He suddenly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and met Lao Fang who was about to knock on the door. He was hiding something in his heart. He looked at each other in surprise and lowered his head.
Xuan Yingli's heart suddenly sank, but he held it back and just asked, "Old Fang, where is Ali's servant now?"
