AD 1042

Chapter 149 The Diary of International Students in Yuncheng The End

Summer is the best at night. Fireflies are flying everywhere, and the birds have returned to their nests. The fragrance of ** floats in front of the window. The peach blossoms are beginning to bloom, and the willows are soft and charming. Ah, the morning star is really beautiful.

If I don't know Bi Sheng, the night is excellent.

To make a long story short, since Bi Sheng and I sold that truck of clay pots and bowls in Suzhou, the weather has cleared up.

Purple clouds float on the top of the mountain, and the pale yellow fog permeates the mountain, which is really interesting.

A few days later, A Jing and I visited several scenic spots in Suzhou. In my memory, there were the Tibetan Emperor's Cave, Ruiyun Temple, Sword Spring, and the Bookstore.

The fame of Huangzang Cave comes from an emperor named Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty. I heard from the locals that Liu Bang had avoided the disaster before competing for the world. The reason was that Liu Bang's army and Xiang Yu's army fought in Pengcheng. Liu Bang was defeated miserably. He only fled into this cave with more than a dozen of his own soldiers and hid for a long time before he survived. Later, he ascended the throne as the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he renamed the cave Huangzang Cave.

The interesting thing about Ruiyun Temple is that it is in danger. It carries a cliff and faces the abyss. There are a total of 99 monastic rooms in the three-step courtyard, just like a wise man standing on the cliff bowing his head and meditating. A Jing and I were so tired that we almost died after only walked. I don't have the heart to find the Yuji Tomb, which hides incense and burys jade, because the mountains within 50 miles of the square garden are green, the clouds are steaming, and the mountains are like the sea. We are mortals, and we can't stand the toss of going up and down the mountain.

Draw the sword spring, this is my favorite place. Because Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, fled here when he defeated Pengcheng. He was hungry and thirsty. He drew his sword and angrily penetrated the boulder, and his sword drew a spring, so it was called "Drawing Sword Spring". I put the royal soul I brought with me into the spring and found that the mouth of the spring was really like a sword, and the ancients had never bullied me.

In the bookstore, I listened to the old man who led the way into the mountain that when Confucius traveled around the world, he passed the Song Dynasty. Suddenly, he encountered heavy rain, and the book was simple and wet. After the rain and the weather cleared up, he posted the book here, that is, the flat grass in front of him. The thatched grass is inclined to the west, as before.

I raised my eyes and looked at it. The grassland really tilted to the west. It was strange and wonderful. After a thousand years, the grassland was still the same. I sighed and couldn't say anything.

That was the last night of me and A Jing in Suzhou. I wanted to have a farewell dinner with the mother and son of the Bi family, taste the local specialty Fuli roast chicken, and drink a few jars of local sweet rice wine. The yellow dog in the courtyard suddenly barked. In the blink of an eye, three hairy kids broke in and grabbed the sea bowl on the table and drank it up. The rice wine inside.

Then, he told Bi Sheng in a panic that it was Tian Fatty of Tian's Bookstore, that is, the middle-aged literati I met a few days ago. He used the engraving technique of printing books to make copper coins and was found by the government. He heard from the jailer in the government office that the fat man Tian was crazy and farted and bit people indiscriminately in order to alleviate the crime. It has involved a lot of people working in Tianjia Bookstore. Bi Sheng, please run away quickly. It's too late.

Hearing the unfortunate news, everyone present was stunned. The same was Bi Sheng. Aunt Bi sat on the ground, touching her tears, and cursing the fat man Tian, who was not good at death, saying that his family's life was suffering. The government simply had no eyes. How could he catch people randomly?

I stood aside and didn't know what to say, but A Jing was kind-hearted and gave their mother and son an idea and asked them to quickly pack up and escape to a foreign country.

As soon as Aunt Bi heard it, she seemed to see the hope of life. She immediately went into the house to pack up and prepare to escape with her son overnight, but Brother Bi Sheng did not move. The three partners who came to persuade him to escape were useless.

I don't understand why Brother Bi Sheng is so indecisive. The disaster is coming, and he can't make a decision quickly. Do you want to sit back and wait for death?

When Aunt Bi came out, Bi Sheng said, "Mom, I didn't break the law. Why did I escape? I escaped the trick of the wrong traitor."

Aunt Bi was also confused and couldn't make up her mind for a moment. At this moment, the dog in the village barked into a piece. Bi Sheng's three partners turned around and fled. Seeing that the situation was not good, I quickly chased out and looked for the torch in the distance. I only heard someone shouting, "Where do you live?"

I knew that the matter was going to be a big deal. As soon as I turned around and returned to the house, I told Aunt Bi and Bi Sheng what had happened outside, and asked them whether they would leave. If they didn't leave, I would leave with my wife.

Aunt Bi immediately pulled Bi Sheng out of the house. A Jing and I rushed to the nearest river on the uneven mountain road in the village and jumped into the water with a bang.

The water grass by the river is very high and dense. A Jing and the mother and son of the Bi family are hiding in it. Looking at the clouds in the sky and the boundless moonlight, my heart jumps over. I really don't know how to express it. Why do I always encounter misfortune.

At dawn, I was woken up from the cold. A Jing huddled in my arms. The mother and son of the Bi family had already woken up. They were looking out of the water and grass. Seeing a boat tied to the sand not far away, they immediately swam over.

Half a minute later, A Jing and I got on the boat. The mother and son of the Bi family asked me to rest first. They shook the boat and waited until they came out of the border of Suzhou to find a way.

The escape journey began again. A Jing and I were exhausted and fell asleep not long after getting on the boat.

The things behind were even more incredible. A Jing and I, and the mother and son of the Bi family actually got on a free ride to Beijing halfway. The boat was very big and three stories high, comparable to a big boat going to sea, and was beautifully decorated. The owner of the ship is a woman with heavy makeup. They came to Beijing this time to perform sumo on the stage. It turned out that the people in this boat were all female sumo. No wonder I felt strange when I boarded the ship. These fat or thin women, or tall or short women were all topless and exposed. They stared at me. It turned out that I was the only man here. Of course, Bi Shengxiao That's the same.

Half a day later, I knew the ship owner's name Sister Hua. She is a famous sumo artist in Yangzhou. When she was young, she was the leading female sumo wrestler in Yangzhou. No one in the streets and alleys did not know her. However, that was decades ago. Sister Hua has now turned into this team that traveled south and north. The shopkeeper has No. 30 female sumo under his men, and there are five people in the top card alone.

I have seen it, but only once. Later, Brother Bi Sheng and I became the handyman of this grass team. I worked as a handyman until Bian Liang.

Sister Hua's Caotai team performed all the way. They stopped the boat twice in Haozhou and the boat three times in Yingtianfu. After that, they officially entered Jingji Road. Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was close in front of them.

On the day when the big ship came to Bianliang, A Jing and I were very happy, because Bianliang was really spectacular. When I was in Satsuma, I didn't even go to Kyoto. I thought my life would pass like this. Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I saw Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty. The tall and large wall, the countless towers, and the dazzling banners, I jumped up with excitement.

When I arrived in Bianliang, A Jing and I parted ways with Sister Hua. Before leaving, Sister Hua glanced at me with a deep meaning and gave me five taels of silver generously. After thanking me, I asked A Jing to put it away. In fact, I didn't want that money. A Jing and I are now rich, although there is no place to settle down. But I'm still looking for it.

That was at the end of June. A Jing and I lived in Bianliang for more than half a month and spent nearly a hundred taels of silver. A Jing said to me sadly, "Husband, if you spend like this, it's time to hit the iron again."

I nodded and asked her, "What should I do?"

A Jing stamped her foot, pulled the letter from Master Xu in my arms, and said, "You, have you forgotten? Master Xu told us to read the letter when we go on the road."

I suddenly remembered and quickly opened the letter. I didn't know where A Jing and I were going. It turned out that the master of the Xu family had a family in-law in Yuncheng County, Jeju, Jingdong Road. He was the head of the county. His name was Ren Hai. He asked me and A Jing to settle down there.

Coincidentally, A Jing and I and the mother and son of the Bi family actually lived in the same inn, Baolai Inn, but why did we meet each other? I remember that when we left Sister Hua's grass team, we went our separate ways.

This is a long story. I don't want to say more. I just want to write it down.

That is, when A Jing and I went to Yuncheng, Jeju, we took the mother and son of the Bi family and went there together, on the condition that I opened a printing workshop there, and Bi Sheng would work as a housekeeper, and Aunt Bi helped us cook and clean up the house.
