Jincheng flower hour

The carriage was passing through the Laili Sang Forest. Zhuang Yang was sitting in the carriage, and the back of the carriage was filled with roast lamb, meat pies and soup, which were still steaming.When leaving Jinguan City and passing through Linqiong, Zhuang Yang made a special trip to visit his uncle's house.Zhang Li was quite surprised to hear that Zhuang Yang was going to live in Zhuli, but Zhuli was close to Linqiong, so it would be convenient for him to come and go in the future, so Zhang Li was also very happy.Let the kitchen cook the food and bring it to Zhuang Yang.Bamboo is depressed, and good ingredients are not easy to obtain.

When Zhuang Yang arrived in Zhuli, the craftsmen had built a bamboo building with hanging feet beside the pool, which was comfortable and unique.In the original position of the Zhuang family's mansion, a wooden frame was erected, and it will take time to complete the construction.

Xijuan built a fire downstairs to boil water, Ah Yi moved the things in the carriage to the bamboo building, and Zhuang Yang sorted things in the house, and he brought a lot of things here.Ah Yi piled up bunches of silk books in Zhuang Yang's room, thinking that Erlang didn't bring much clothes, but he had quite a lot of books.

Ah Yi was originally from Zhuli, his grandfather Yisou had died of illness, and there were still brothers and sisters-in-law at home, but they had moved away from Zhuli.Ayi's house in Zhuli is still livable, and the pots and stoves are also complete.

The sundries in the pool were cleaned up by the soldiers before, and the weeds around the bamboo house were also eradicated and burned to prevent snakes from hiding.

After tidying up the clothes and books, Zhuang Yang walked out of the room and stood on the railing to look at the scenery in Zhuli. When I came here earlier, most of the farmland in Zhuli was deserted. At this moment, it seems that many farmlands have been turned over and ready to be cultivated in the future .

Back in Zhuli, a lot of daily necessities needed to be purchased. Zhuang Yang asked Ah Yi to go to Wu's shop to buy pots, pans, chopsticks, boxes, baskets, baskets, hoes, dustpans and other items.

Ah Yi took the money and went downstairs to drive the carriage. The fine silk came over and handed Ah Yi a bowl of water, and the two talked warmly.Ah Yi is carrying things, sweating all over his body.Zhuang Yang watched upstairs, thinking that Ah Yi was alone, if Xijuan wanted to, he would marry Xijuan to him.

Zhuang Yang went downstairs and walked towards the built mansion, where the craftsmen were busy.The new manor house is built according to the style of the old house. After it is built, it is almost exactly the same except that it is relatively new.

The craftsmen live on the open west bank and often go to the bamboo mountains to cut wood and bamboo.When Zhuang Yang came over, he heard two craftsmen talking about the big tapir.

"Where did you see the big tapir?"

Zhuang Yang asked.

"It was in the bamboo grove behind the house. I went to drag the bamboo. It suddenly rushed out and called me. I dropped the bamboo and ran quickly. I heard that there are tapirs in the bamboo, but this is the first time I have seen it."

After the carpenter finished speaking, he pointed to the bamboo forest behind the mansion.

"I've also seen that big tapir drinking water by the stream. It only had half an ear, so it looked up at me and didn't chase me."

Another carpenter claimed to have seen it too.

"Can you take me there to have a look?"

Zhuang Yang heard that there was only half an ear, so he guessed it was a bamboo shoot.In the past, Dachun said that after the farmer's family moved away, the bamboo shoot came back several times and wandered around the backyard of the mansion. The people in Zhuli saw that it would not harm people or crops, so they let it go.Later, bandits occupied the bamboo, and the bamboo shoots no longer appeared.

Zhuang Yang went to search for the places mentioned by the carpenters, but there was no big tapir, but he found a few footprints by the stream.

"Erlang, how about I ask the soldiers to search around."

Dachun followed, accompanied by a group of soldiers, some with poles and some with nets.

"No, don't grab it."

Zhuang Yang said with a smile, he just wanted to see the bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots lingered here, obviously they were attached.

Maybe it will appear again, Zhuang Yang thinks that in the future, he will go for more walks in the bamboo forest, and he will always meet it.

On the second day after Zhuang Yang moved to Zhuli, Liu Hong came, and he rode over with only four guards.

The remaining troops of the king of Shu retreated to Yunnan, and Liu Hong deployed generals to attack. From then on, Linqiong also came to Zhuli by the way.

Seeing the villa with only a wooden frame, Liu Hong said: "At that time, the soldiers were left to build the camp, and it was already built by now."

It's a pity that Zhuang Yang disagreed, saying that he hired craftsmen himself and could not use the army.

"There is a place to live."

Zhuang Yang laughed and led Liu Hong to the camellia tree. Liu Hong was pleasantly surprised to see the small bamboo house built by the pool.

There are three rooms in the bamboo house, one for fine silk, one for study, and one for Zhuang Yang and Liu Hong.

Since Liu Hong came, there have been guards guarding this small bamboo building nearby, and no one else is allowed to enter.

After climbing up the bamboo building, Liu Hong took off his armor, put on light clothes, and lay comfortably in the study to rest.During these days of fighting in the South and the North, he rarely had leisure time.Zhuang Yang sat beside Liu Hong, combing Liu Hong's messy hair after taking off his helmet.The sunset shines on the entrance window, and the bamboo building is silent and there is no one else.

Liu Hong closed his eyes and listened to the rustling of bamboo leaves in his ears, and smelled the all-too-familiar scent of vanilla around him. He felt very comfortable, as if he was in a sweet dream.

"Erlang, it would be great if I could follow the soldiers to disarm and return to the fields."

"Ok?"

Zhuang Yang's fingertips brushed Liu Hong's forehead. Liu Hong has a broad and full forehead. According to the photo book, such a person will be very lucky, and he is not a farmer.What's more, he will be a prince, even an emperor in the future.

"I want to raise fish and ducks in the pool, grow radishes by the river, dig bamboo shoots behind bamboo mountains, and hunt in reed lakes."

Liu Hong opened his eyes and looked at Zhuang Yang with a smile on his face. He stated his happy life "in the future".

"Erlang just reads books, grows flowers and plays the piano, and you and I are by our side."

He likes to see Erlang's leisurely appearance, and can't bear him to be hurt or feel a little miserable.

"I also raise chickens, dig radishes, sweep and cook."

Zhuang Yang smiled with crooked eyebrows. He knew it was impossible, but he still participated in Liu Hong's imagination.

Liu Hong took Zhuang Yang's hand, which was a fair and soft hand, and Liu Hong printed a kiss on the back of the hand.

The smiles of the two disappeared from the corners of their lips. They both knew that this was just a dream. Liu Hong could no longer become a farmer, nor could he live in the countryside.

The meals at night are simple, steamed rice, stewed bamboo shoots, and soup.

Liu Hong and Zhuang Yang ate outside the corridor on the second floor, looking at the dim lights in the bamboo and the starry sky.

"There are still Shu generals who will resist in Yunnan, and will leave an army for conquest, and my father and I will return to Chang'an."

After Liu Hong finished eating a bowl of rice, he put the empty bowl aside, and said in a calm tone that he was going to leave.

"when?"

Zhuang Yang picked up the empty bowl and put the rice in the rice bucket, his words were calm, as usual.Liu Hong needs several bowls of rice for a meal, but Zhuang Yang only needs one bowl.

"Ten days later."

The king of Han would leave first, and Liu Hong would wait for Linqiong to settle matters before leaving, but it would only be about ten days.

It was very hasty, but neither the King of Han nor the ministers could bear it anymore.

This time back to Chang'an, the king of Han will be enthroned as emperor, the city of Chang'an is already preparing, the king of Han will ascend the throne, and other ministers will be promoted as well, everyone is happy.

Zhuang Yang didn't say anything else, he handed Liu Hong a bowl of rice, knowing that Liu Hong would leave.From that year, when he watched Liu Hong go to Chang'an, it was already doomed that the two would be separated in the future.

In the middle of the night, inside the closed doors and windows, the candles were dimly lit.The flimsy wooden couch in Zhuang Yang's room swayed slightly, and the curtains were so heavy that the figure of the occupant could not be seen.The wind in late autumn rushes through the bamboo forest, covering the ups and downs of each other, sounds that seem to be joyful and painful.

Early in the morning, Tiantian, who had a good night's sleep, went upstairs with a water basin in her hand. She visited Zhuang Yang's room. Seeing that the door was closed, she didn't dare to knock on the door. towel cloth.

Xijuan was very diligent. After finishing this task, she went downstairs to sweep and wash the melons and fruits bought from the Zhuli farm.

In the dormitory at this time, Zhuang Yang had already woken up. He was lying in Liu Hong's arms, so comfortable that he didn't want to get up.In the cold morning of late autumn, Liu Hong's body was as warm as a fire.

The doors and windows are closed tightly, the bedroom is dimly lit, very secluded, and no one will disturb it.

The two warmed up on the couch, Zhuang Yang put on his clothes and stayed on the bed, while Liu Hong lit candles, combed his hair and braided his bun.Using weapons all the year round, Liu Hong's fingers are thick and inflexible. He has been busy for a long time and only has an ugly hairstyle.Zhuang Yang watched with a mirror, and couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Zhuang Yang's laughter, Liu Hong bowed his head and kissed him.Hugging Zhuang Yang from behind, wrapping Zhuang Yang in his arms.

Zhuang Yang remembered that by the lakeside of Shanglinyuan, Liu Hong once said that he could keep the world and Erlang in his palm.

In fact, he can only choose one, and has no choice.

Liu Hong combed Zhuang Yang's hair and dressed; Zhuang Yang also combed Liu Hong's hair and dressed, and they each wore the other's belt hook.

On this day, Ah Yi and Xijuan went to Wu's shop to buy a few chicks and put them in chicken cages.Liu Hong said that he made a chicken coop that could enclose the chickens, just like the chicken coop behind the farmer's house in the past.

Liu Hong asked the guards to cut bamboo in Zhushan to prepare bamboo for the fence.

These guards were all selected by Liu Hong himself, and they only listened to Liu Hong's orders, so they were very trustworthy.They will accept even the most outlandish orders.

Unexpectedly, the four guards went to Zhushan to chop bamboo. Before the bamboo was felled, they found a big tapir jumping out of the forest.The four looked at each other in blank dismay. They were from Chang'an and had never seen a tapir.

The four sent one of them down the mountain to report to Liu Hong that there was a beast in the bamboo forest, black and white, like a bear but not a bear.

"My lord, there is a black and white beast haunting the bamboo forest."

The guard wanted to kill it so as not to endanger the son.

"black and white?"

Liu Hong was writing official documents in his study, and immediately put down his pen when he heard this word.

"Don't kill it, I'll go and have a look."

Liu Hong went downstairs and called Zhuang Yang who was packing clothes in the dormitory.

Guided by the guards, Liu Hong and Zhuang Yang came to the bamboo forest and saw a big tapir tied by a rope.This big tapir has a big skeleton, its face is still round, but its belly is sunken.It has only one ear, the other is missing, and there are scratch marks on its nose.

When Liu Hong and Zhuang Yang arrived, the big tapir was struggling and barking. It was tied under a big tree, and three guards were standing by with weapons raised.

"Bamboo shoots."

Zhuang Yang thinks it should be a bamboo shoot. Although tapirs seem to look similar, there are not many tapirs with only half an ear.

"Bamboo shoots, come here."

Zhuang Yang stepped forward, knelt down and greeted the bamboo shoots.Seeing many people trying their best to hide in the grass, the bamboo shoots still barking ferociously, but when they heard Zhuang Yang's call, they suddenly stopped barking.

"Bamboo shoots."

Zhuang Yang still wanted to move forward and get closer to the bamboo shoots, but Liu Hong held him back.

"It has been wild for many years, so be careful."

After all, it is a ferocious beast. Even if it still remembers Zhuang Yang, it may attack Zhuang Yang when it feels in danger.

Liu Hong asked the guards to get the net and catch the bamboo shoots.

Soon, the bamboo shoots were carried to the front of the bamboo building and tied under a tree.Zhuang Yang asked Xijuan to cook a pot of batter and served it to the bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots were not eaten at first, only to gobble them up when no one was around.

This big tapir was originally released into the deep mountain, but then ran down the mountain by itself, with many old scars on its body, probably expelled by other animals or the same kind.

After the bamboo shoots were full, he licked his tongue and looked up at the old acquaintance in front of him.Zhuang Yang touched its head, bamboo shoots, and called it bamboo shoots, and it would also hum friendly.

Liu Hong felt incredible, and came to have a look, the bamboo shoot hugged Liu Hong's thigh, Liu Hong was tall and strong, so he was not thrown down by the bear's paw.

"Erlang, it still remembers you and me."

Liu Hong felt it was incredible.
