Datang beauty walk

On the second day, Qiqing and Danniang left the inn, but they still haven't decided where to go.

They didn't know where to go, and the two of them ate and just walked aimlessly.It has been more than 30 miles away from the small town, and I am really tired—I don’t know whether it is the tiredness of the heart or the tiredness of the body.

They saw a gentle hill in front of them. They walked up the hill and walked for half a mile, but they saw green bamboos growing on both sides of the mountain road, and they grew tall.

Walking along the hillside among the bamboo forests, I saw a stream flowing down the mountain beside the green grass in the low-lying part of the hillside.They walked over and tasted the flowing stream, which was slightly sweet.

I followed the flow of the stream and bypassed the hill, only to see a river not far ahead, and a small village on the other side of the river.There are plum trees in twos and threes, leaning and growing horizontally in front of the door and corner of the small village.The colors of plum blossoms are scorching red, snow white, or mixed with red and white.Clumps of plum trees are gorgeous and blooming, competing to reflect each other.

The stream flowing from the mountain finally flows into the half-moon-shaped river in front of the village. The river passes through the village, then twists and turns to the distance, and then flows to nowhere.

There are clusters of green trees on the bank of the river, and there are waterfowl perched by the river, and a few birds are flying low on the water reflected in the blue sky.The sky, light and water, together with the quiet village behind the small river, form a vivid picture.

Danniang stood on the gentle hillside path, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, she couldn't help praising:

"The scenery here is so beautiful, and so quiet!"

Qiqing walked up to Danniang and said:

"Do you like it here? Shall we live here in the future?"

"We don't have much silver left, how can we afford to live here!" Dan Niang sat on a big rock next to her: "Let me feast my eyes here, and I won't be able to see this beautiful scenery in the future! "

After hearing this, Qi Qing also sat down and admired the surrounding scenery.They sat here for a long time before leaving.

The next day, they came to Luoyang City. The streets of Luoyang were as bustling and lively as Chang'an City.

Qiqing and the others first found a small inn.After staying in the inn, Qiqing went out, and Danniang waited for her to come back until the city gate was about to close at night.

They only stayed in this small inn in Luoyang City for one day, but when they left the inn room, Tanniang felt that something was missing, she stopped and shouted:

"Qiqing!"

"Ok?"

"Where's your sword?"

"sold."

"Sold it?!" Danniang was surprised, and her face changed immediately, "Why did you sell your sword? No, let's go!" Danniang walked out.

Qiqing hurriedly grabbed her:

"Where to go?"

Dan Niang said with a serious expression:

"Go get your sword back!"

"I've already sold it, how can I get it back?"

Dan Niang's eyes were red with anger:

"Why did you sell it without telling me? It's something you love. I've been with you for so many years, and the time with you is even longer than mine. Why did you sell it without saying a word?"

"I don't have any regrets about selling it. As the saying goes, a sword is worthy of a hero. I am no longer worthy of that sword. Why do I have to carry it around? Sell it, and it will meet a truly suitable owner. , then it will be useful.”

Dan Niang rolled down her tears:

"I dragged you down!"

"Do you and I still want to talk about each other?" Qiqing wiped away tears for Danniang, "Let's go and see our new home!"

After leaving the inn, Danniang followed Qiqing sadly and angrily all the way to the new home that Qiqing said.

It turned out that the new home Qiqing mentioned was the small village surrounded by mountains and forests and a small river flowing in front of them they had seen together yesterday.

Qiqing has already bought a small house here. Although the courtyard house is very good, Tanniang still feels sorry for the sword that Qiqing sold.

The sword was once given to Qiqing by Princess Pingyang, and Danniang had also watched the sword carefully. The body of the sword is exquisitely crafted, the blade and the scabbard are seamlessly stitched together, and the textures and decorations on it are carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen. built.The blade is extremely sharp, can be broken by blowing hair, and it is not bulky. It has excellent elasticity and is bent like a bow. It cannot be compared with those ordinary sabers sold on the market.

Qiqing has worn it for more than twenty years, and has been with her longer than Danniang herself, but now she sells it for her livelihood. How can Danniang accept this fact without complaint?

"If I sell that sword, I won't lose my skills!" Qi Qing comforted her.

Since Qiqing and Danniang lived in this small village called Meicun, their lives have settled down again.In their spare time, they also go out together, to the town or to the city of Luoyang, to have a stroll and buy some necessities in life.

There are not many villagers in Meicun, and the folk customs are very simple, which relieved them of some worries.

Their lives were peaceful and smooth, and nearly two years passed quickly in the blink of an eye.

It was a day at the end of the early winter month. After the sky was bright, Qiqing and Danniang went to the city together.The bustling market in Luoyang City is full of small stalls selling various items. People come and go in front of each stall, and the business is very prosperous.

Life in Plum Village is leisurely and quiet, but when you enter the city, it is a different scene. There are more people all of a sudden, and all kinds of exquisite items that you don't usually see are dazzlingly waving in front of people's eyes, allowing them to buy and sell.

Qiqing and Danniang shuttled among the crowd on the street, looking here and there, and those dazzling things always attracted people's attention.

The two stopped in front of a small stall. There were all kinds of colorful gadgets on the stall in front of them. Danniang picked up a clay sculpture and was about to ask Qiqing whether it was cute or not. He left without saying a word.

Danniang hurriedly put the things back in place and followed, but Qiqing walked faster and faster in front, and gradually there was a short distance between her and her.

Danniang quickened her pace and followed Qiqing closely, only to see Qiqing turn left and right, and then walked out of the city gate.

Panting, Danniang also followed Qiqing out of the city gate, and chased for more than two miles, Qiqing was already far away from her.Danniang didn't stop, but the more urgent she chased, the faster Qiqing walked.

In the end, she couldn't walk fast enough and couldn't catch up, so she could only watch Qi Qing's blurred back disappear in the distance.Dan Niang had no choice but to stop, she put one hand on her waist, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other, panting heavily.But after a while, Qiqing came back again, saw her and shouted:

"Tannie!"

Danniang's breath hadn't calmed down yet, and she exhaled heavily. After seeing Qiqing, her nervous heart was relieved. She took a long breath and said with some sadness:

"Why did you leave without saying hello?"

"Danniang, why didn't you wait here and I came with you? Look at you sweating so much!" Qi Qing quickly grabbed Danniang's hand.

Dan Niang said half-truthfully:

"I thought you were leaving me!"

"What are you talking about, will I leave you?" Qi Qing said angrily.

Dan Niang puffed her mouth, her eyes were only rolling there, and she said slowly:

"It's hard to say! I heard that there used to be a man who gave birth to a child. How old was the child? The man didn't like the child very much. What should we do? One day, he put the child in the basket and told the child that he would He took him to a good place, and the boy was very happy to hear that, so the man carried the basket all the way to the deep mountains, put the child sitting in the basket with the basket, and went home by himself. There is a man whose mother is old, blind and unable to work. This son thinks his mother has to eat two bowls of rice at home, so he thinks of a way and tells his mother that he wants to take her to the city. Of course his mother was very happy to hear that, and happily sat in the trolley. After the son pushed his mother to the edge of the cliff with the trolley and stopped, he told his mother to buy delicious food for her. I waited and waited in the small car for a long time, but my son did not come back. I was anxious, and as soon as I moved my body, the small car..."

"Stop, stop, don't say anything!" Qiqing hurriedly interrupted her, "How can you compare me with that kind of person?" She became a little unhappy, and turned to ignore Tanniang.

Danniang's nervousness just now has been completely eliminated by now, she smiled and held Qiqing, and said:

"I'm kidding you! Let's go, we should go home!"

The two had just walked a few steps, and they didn't want someone to block their way.Danniang saw that she was a woman, about double ten years old, not too tall, wearing a peach red dress with dark half-sleeves on the upper body.

The woman has a handsome appearance, and holds a sword in her hand. The sword in this woman's hand seems to be a little out of proportion to her: the shape of the sword is slightly wider and longer than the swords worn by other women.

Danniang stared at the sword, feeling a little familiar, suddenly, she remembered something, and hurriedly turned to look at Qiqing.

Qi Qing's face was solemn, his eyes only stared at the other party, and he only heard the woman say:

"Shicai, you are the one who followed me here all the time, right?"

"That's right, but I lost it." Qi Qing said.

"Why are you following me? You know me?" the woman asked again.

"I don't know you, but I know the sword in your hand!"

"This sword? Are you..."

The woman was obviously shocked, but immediately calmed down again, and she asked:

"Senior, do you know the origin of this sword?"

"Of course I know. Let me ask you first, where did you get this sword?"

The woman did not answer, but said a little anxiously:

"Forgive me for offending my daughter, may I ask who is the last name of the senior, and where is it from?"

After thinking for a while, Qi Qing said:

"My surname is Lu and my name is Qiqing. I am originally from Qixian Village outside Luoyang City."

The woman's face was happy when she heard it, and she asked again:

"Then may I ask, is your father's name 'Lu Xiaotian'?"

"It's my father!"
