It was said that when the ox cart passed by a small village, the sun was high and the three of them were hungry.

Zheng Liu found a roadside shop, parked the ox cart on the side of the road, tied the cattle to the stakes, and asked the shop boy to feed them with fodder.

The three of them sat around a table and ordered three bowls of cold noodles and two side dishes.Both Wei Ti and Ying Tianci were hungry, each carrying a bowl of noodles and gobbling it up.Zheng Liu was not in a hurry to eat, his eyes scanned the surroundings first, and only after he was sure it was safe, he put down his chopsticks.

"Uncle, there's someone over there who keeps looking at you." Ying Tianci poked Wei Ti's waist with his chubby little hand, reminding him in a low voice.

"Who is it?" Wei Ti looked up and saw a scholar-like young man in coarse clothes sitting at a table near a jujube tree, holding a bowl and drinking cold water, while keeping a pair of peach-blossom eyes He glanced at himself.

"You don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, you don't have to worry about it, young master." Zheng Liu noticed this misbehaving scholar from the very beginning, and he knew that this person had no martial arts skills, and he would not pose any threat, so he remained calm Scoop the noodles into a bowl.

"Then ignore him." After Wei Ti finished speaking, she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the last piece of mung bean cake on the plate, but Ying Tianci snatched it away first, "Hey, my cake!"

Ying Tianci had already stuffed the mung bean cake he snatched into his mouth. At this time, his mouth was bulging and he said vaguely: "Whoever grabs it first will get it. It's delicious."

"There are six cakes in total, you have already eaten four, and you still want to grab mine?" After speaking, he made a gesture to pinch his nephew's cheeks.

Zheng Liu smiled, watching his uncle and nephew arguing over a piece of mung bean cake.

At this time, suddenly a black shadow flashed by quickly, Wei Ti only felt that something pulled her waist forcefully, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "My jade pendant!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw the down-and-out scholar who was still drinking water in a corner just now, holding the dangling jade pendant in his hand, running towards the official road as if his feet were oiled.

Zheng Liuzao rushed out like an arrow from the string when Langjun made his voice. It was strange to say that the scholar looked so weak, but he ran extremely fast.

"There is a thief! Catch the thief!" Ying Tianci yelled at the top of his voice, and the next group of people followed him and Wei Ti to chase after him.

After driving for about a mile, I saw Zheng Liu chasing the thief and pushing him down in the yellow mud.Fortunately, the ground was already dried by the sun during the day, and the scholar only wiped the dust off his head and face.

Wei Tilian was a scholar after all, fearing that he might have some difficulties, it would be disrespectful to press on the ground like this, so he coughed twice, and said: "Zheng Liu, let him sit up and ask questions."

Hearing this, Zheng Liu relaxed his restraint on the scholar, and the scholar rolled over and sat up, leaning against a big tree with his back, and patted the dirt on his body without paying attention to the pointing and pointing of passers-by, widening his peach blossom eyes and waiting Wei Ti asked.

"I ask you, why did you rob me of my jade pendant?" Wei Ti asked kindly.

"I didn't have money to pay for the tea, so I robbed him." The scholar replied confidently.

Wei Ti laughed angrily at his rascal appearance: "If you have no money, you can't grab it. You think I'm a fool? You snatched my jade pendant for a bowl of tea money, snatched it away and ran away. I have never seen you have a little money to pay for tea." plan?"

"That's right." Ying Tianci also echoed, "You stared at Uncle for a long time as soon as we sat down, and you said you were not greedy for his jade pendant."

"Yes, Xiaosheng has taken a fancy to this gentleman's jade pendant." Seeing that he was exposed, the scholar was not ashamed, and directly admitted it by touching the back of his head.

"My jade pendant is not a valuable item, why did you attack me?" Wei Ti asked curiously.There is also a group of businessmen present, and the gold inlaid jade on their waists is much better than this unremarkable and unremarkable round jade hanging on their waists.

"I feel familiar, I want to recognize..." the scholar muttered vaguely.

When Wei Ti saw his supposed rogue appearance, she didn't bother to argue with him, so she said: "I'm too lazy to argue with you, and I paid for your tea money for you. I hope you can take care of yourself and don't do this again in the future." Robbery and theft. Zheng Liu, let's go."

After speaking, he took Ying Tianci by one hand and led Zheng Liu back to the roadside paving.

The passers-by who gathered around were also watching the excitement, but when they saw that there was no more excitement to watch, they dispersed in a crowd.

After the crowd dissipated, the scholar just stood up, patted the loess on his buttocks, rubbed his sore arm, smiled at Wei Ti's back and said to himself: "This little gentleman ...was really interesting."

After resting, Zheng Liu asked the shopkeeper how far it was from Wulingyuan, and learned that there was still two miles to go across the Weihe River, so he packed some drinks and dry food and set out on the road.

The ox carts were moving slowly, so it was not a problem to get to Wulingyuan, but there was still a long way to Maoling from Wulingyuan.

Wuling was originally located on the north bank of the Weihe River, stretching eighty miles from east to west. The tombs of the emperors of the Han Dynasty are lined up along the Zhengguo Canal dug by the Qin State during the Warring States Period. , Weiling Mausoleum of Emperor Yuan, Kangling Mausoleum of Emperor Ping, Yanling Mausoleum of Emperor Cheng, Pingling Mausoleum of Emperor Zhao, Maoling Mausoleum of Emperor Wu.Among them, the Maoling Mausoleum of Emperor Wu is located in the west.

Zheng Liuyi took the reins, and the ox cart stopped in the middle of the road.

"Lang Jun, someone is following you."

Wei Ti jumped out of the car and shouted to the empty road behind: "Who? Get out!"

The bushes on the side of the road trembled a few times, and a ragged scholar appeared in front of everyone. His hair was in a messy bun, a few strands of hair were scattered on both sides of his cheeks, and the nose was still stained with loess that had not been wiped clean. Sweat was all over his face, he was very embarrassed, only a pair of eyes were still shining and turning around non-stop, he was the little thief scholar at noon.

"What are you doing with us?" Wei Ti frowned.

"Where is it? I just dropped in on the road." The scholar hurriedly waved his hand to clear it.

"Are you going to Maoling too?" Ying Tian bestowed the child's mind and asked first.

"Exactly." The scholar nodded hurriedly, "It's on the way, can I give Xiaosheng a ride?"

"We have important business to go to Maoling. What are you going to do in Maoling?" Ying Tianci asked, crossing his arms alternately on his chest.

The scholar scratched his head and replied, "Worship the ancestors."

Wei Ti smiled and said: "This brother is not lying to me? You are empty-handed. You have neither incense candle nor wine. What do you use to worship your ancestors?"

The scholar didn't quibble, he just said: "Sincerity leads to spirit."

Seeing that he was sweating from walking, and the shoes on his feet were about to break because of the haste, Wei Ti felt pity in her heart, and said: "Go to the canal to get water to wash, and I will take you for a ride. "

"Thank you, young master." After finishing speaking, the scholar ran towards Zheng Guoqu.

After a while, the scholar washed his face and walked over. Wei Ti took a closer look at the other person's face for the first time, and saw that his skin was fair and his eyes were like morning stars. People could see a bit of intimacy, as if they had seen him somewhere, but the unruly and unruly temperament between the brows couldn't be shaken off.

"The space in the car is so small that my nephew and I took it up, so I had to sit side by side with my servant." After Wei Ti finished speaking, she took her little nephew's hand and got into the car. Strange, Wei Ti subconsciously wanted to avoid more contact with him.

The scholar didn't care, he patted his buttocks and sat down next to Zheng Liu, and said brazenly, "That Xiaosheng is here to show you the way as a landlord."

Zheng Liu's cold face rarely twitched.He was quite wary of this strange scholar in his heart. Although he didn't feel that the scholar was very dangerous when he was at the roadside stall at the beginning, although the ox cart was not moving fast, a scholar could actually follow him all the way on foot without losing him. It's not what ordinary scholars do.If he hadn't been used to acting according to the young master's temperament since he was a child, he really wanted to speak out against bringing this problematic character on the road.

"You said you went to Maoling to worship your ancestors, but your surname is Liu?" Ying Tianci's curious little head popped out of the curtain.

"No, no, my surname is Ji."

"If you dare to ask Brother Ji's name, I can call you my little brother along the way." Now Lian Weiti couldn't bear curiosity and raised the curtain to ask.

"Xiao Lang-jun can call me Ji Zi."

"Ji Zi?" Wei Ti repeated several times and said with a smile, "But Confucius, Mencius, Lao Tzu and Zhuang Zi? Brother Ji is not convenient to tell me his name, so you can just say it directly, why make fun of me?"

The scholar blinked his eyes, and said solemnly: "My surname is Ji, and the single name is a single character. It's too troublesome, and I'm not happy to take it." Wei Ti was stunned for a while: "Then I'll call you Brother Ji. "

Ji Zi smiled and said, "You can call me brother Ji, I like it."

Zheng Liu glared at him, and cursed in his heart: I'm familiar with you, shameless.

After walking all the way, the red sun has sunk down on the plain ground, only the clouds in the sky have not yet dissipated. On the dark blue sky, it looks like a big peony fired on three-color glazed bricks.

A few egrets perched on the dry vines, and when they saw someone approaching, they flew away.

Just now the ox cart has passed Yanling, and the next place should be Pingling, but there is fog and mist in the wilderness, and the night is dark. In the past, "five hills and horses lighten their fat", but in this night, there is a sense of loneliness from ancient times .How many dignitaries of the royal family, heroes and heroes have turned into a pile of loess on the Wuling Plain.

The night is getting darker, even in the mansion compound, there is only the dim light of a few lanterns, which are vaguely hidden in the shadow of the trees, and will appear and disappear when the wind blows, like ghosts and ghosts.

Wei Ti hung a lantern on the roof of the carriage, and the warm orange halo illuminated a ten-foot area around the bullock carriage. Above her head was a hazy bend of Qing'e Moon, and thousands of stars scattered around the world.

Ji Zi wrapped tightly the cloak that Wei Ti lent him to put on, took a sip of the rice wine that Zheng Liu carried in his wine bag to warm his body, and sang with his voice, it was Li Taibai's "Recalling Qin'e":

"The sound of the flute swallows, Qin E dreams of breaking Qin Louyue.

Qin Louyue, the color of willow every year, baling hurts goodbye.

Enjoy the original Shangqing Autumn Festival, and the ancient Xianyang Road is extremely sound and dusty.

Absolute sound and dust, the afterglow of the west wind, the tomb of the Han Dynasty. "

Ji Zi's voice is very nice, different from Wei Ti's light and bright youthful voice, it is deep and whispering, and it is drifting in the cool night wind at this time, which is very desolate.

Wei Tiwo sat in the car thinking about the lyrics carefully, always feeling empty in her heart, as sad as if a piece was missing.
