Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

Chapter 36

Early the next morning, I saw a luxurious carriage waiting in front of the inn.

The carriage was bumping on the small road, I opened the curtain, looked out, and kept seeing dead leaves falling down one after another.I suddenly realized that it was already winter.

However, the winter in the south is not as cold as that in the north, and it is not much colder. At most, you should put on two more clothes when you go out, and add an extra quilt when you sleep.I thought that when I went to Beijing for this trip, I would finally be able to see the majestic and magnificent scenery of thousands of miles of ice in the north, and thousands of miles of snow. Unexpectedly, I was abducted back to the south of the Yangtze River by Xiaoshun within a few days.

Gradually, I felt that the carriage was leaning a bit, and then I looked outside the curtain, and sure enough, I saw the carriage going up a small hill.

Yun Rong probably felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so he provoked the conversation: "It's been a flat road all this way, and finally I saw two mountains."

I laughed and joked: "Can this be called a mountain? You haven't been home for a long time, and you have forgotten what a mountain looks like?"

He didn't refute me, but nodded his head: "Indeed, compared with the majestic and handsome Hundred Thousand Mountains, these are really nothing. Speaking of which, I really haven't been back for ten years, and I almost forgot about that small village." What does it look like?"

That is the unique memory of our children who grew up in the mountains.Looking at the faint sadness welling up in his brow, I quickly comforted him: "It's okay, we'll go back together after this matter is resolved.

He just smiled and said nothing.I suddenly became melancholy, not to mention that the situation is becoming more and more complicated every day, I don’t know that only in the year of the monkey does he have a head, even if there is such a day, Yun Sui’s heart is lofty, and he will definitely plan to stay in these prosperous areas to make great achievements. How could he be willing to go back to that little village so easily?

Not long after, the carriage stopped slowly, we got out of the car, and saw Xiao Shun and Xiao Luo standing together at the gate of a manor waiting for us.Xiao Luo put on his veil again; although Xiao Shun was smiling, there was always a melancholy lingering between his brows, which made him look a bit gloomy.

On the big stone at the entrance of the Central Plains, there are a few large black characters written on it - "Nine Heavens".

Xiao Luo explained to us through the veil: "Looking out from the highest point of the manor, the cascading mountains are in different shades of color, exactly nine floors, so they took such a name."

I thought to myself that just this small hill with the size of a buttocks is shamelessly called "Nine Heavens", and if the front and back sides are connected together, it can simply be called "Eighteen Hells".

But the Bie Zhuang was well-decorated, and Xiao Luo was indeed an elegant person.Then I thought about it, the wooden railing of the small bridge and flowing water alone may be enough for ordinary people to eat for several months, no wonder it is not elegant!

The premise of high-end atmosphere and high-grade, low-key luxury and connotation is not to be rich!

Xiao Luo led us up the mountain, and when we passed a few rooms, he only told us to rest here at night, but he didn't intend to stop.Along the way, many jasper maids with haircuts and emerald makeup came and went, but there were no idlers.Those young girls are all dressed in pink makeup and jade, with extraordinary temperament, not inferior to those in Zhonglie Building.It's a pity that the people in this other village are superfluous, but at the same time, I have to sigh Xiao Luo's generosity.

We climbed up the stone steps made of bluestone slabs, surrounded by floating mist and strange trees, which really felt like Pengying Langyuan.

Yun Sui also seemed to be in a good mood, so he joked with Xiao Luo with a smile: "It's been a half-day detour, Boss Xiao, isn't he going to take us to Yaotai Wonderland?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Luo stopped his footsteps with a low laugh and said: "This is it!" I saw that I had indeed reached the top of the mountain, and if I went down, it was the way down again.

I thought he would take us to some good place, but I didn't expect it to be such a small broken yard.

Xiao Luo explained: "Looking at the northern border from here. The field of vision is the widest. I have seen several hills near here, and this is the best view. I think I was brought to the northern border by my master when I was very young. It was difficult, I was not sensible at that time, and I followed him like a follower all day long. His subordinates did everything possible to tease me and make fun of me. That was probably the happiest time in my life, but it’s a pity... My master galloped on the battlefield all his life, took out corpses, trampled on bones, and fought bloody battles. He took down most of the northern border, but he ended up in that end, and his brothers basically died... But now I This look of being neither a human nor a ghost, I can only live in this small place in the south of the Yangtze River, looking around every day, chatting for comfort, and worrying all day long... If the old man knows anything about it, he will be so angry that he will jump his feet. !"

At the end of the words, there was a bit of joking, but we were all silent.Although I know that he is just playing the emotional card with us, after all, three points of his words are false, and seven points are true. feeling.

He laughed at himself twice more, and said, "Sorry, I made everyone laugh, please take a seat!"

The banquet has been prepared in the courtyard, and there is still steaming white air. After we are seated, a maid with green hair and cloud temples will pour wine for us.

I subconsciously blocked it, but I didn't expect Yun Rong to expose me immediately: "He can't drink well, he will get drunk after three drinks, and he dare not drink for fear of making a fool of himself."

Xiao Luo and Xiao Shun laughed out loud when they heard the words.

I immediately glared at Yun Rong, and he stopped talking gloatingly.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun asked, "You guys have been...?"

I quickly explained: "No, no, I only met him some time ago, and I have never met him in ten years."

He exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"

Hearing this, Xiao Luo picked up the wine glass in a very appropriate way: "In this case, I, Xiao, will have a toast first, and congratulate the three of you for being able to reunite with your old friends after so many years!"

It has to be said that Xiao Luo is a very scheming person, and his words are just right.His words were very contagious, and soon everyone was excited by him.I couldn't help but picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but I didn't expect to be caught by Yun Zhen again.

"A few days ago, Daoist Xu pretended to be drunk and lied to me on the ground. Boss Xiao, you have to be careful. You can see that he drank so happily today. It's hard to say that he saw you so generously. Be careful, I will lie on the ground and blackmail you later!"

I was quite ashamed to bring up the old story again, but I knew I was wrong, so I was so angry that I was like a kid in the Temple of the City God, my eyes were wide open and I couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun excused me with a smile: "Alright, alright, it's not like you don't know Zifang's character, so tell me what you two have experienced in the past ten years?"
