——"Chu History Biography of Emperor Wu"

Standing in front of the window holding a cup of tea in plain hands, a half-withered and yellow leaf slowly fell with the slightly cool autumn wind. Gu Changli just stretched out his hand a little, and it just lay obediently in the palm of his hand.

Since the death of Emperor An a few months ago, the undercurrent of competition for the supremacy has not stopped until today.

A remote and neglected border town like the one where he is located has been more or less affected, and there have been many fewer people willing to take to the streets recently.Not to mention the capital city which is directly in the center of the storm and bears the brunt of the storm, every time Gu Changli thinks of coming here, he can't help but feel glad that he got out of the quagmire one step earlier, otherwise, would he still be able to keep this heart to drink tea leisurely? It's hard to tell.

While he was frowning and thinking about the matter, Gu Changli suddenly felt a slight light on his hand, but someone took the teacup he was carrying away while he was absent-minded.

"You narrow-minded ghost, don't you hurry up and return the cup to me?"

There is no need to look back, there are not many people in the shop, and there is only one person who can easily enter his room.

"Fire in July, clothes in September. The weather has gradually turned cold, why is Changchun still drinking cold tea?"

Gu Changli turned his head, and as expected, he saw a serious and dignified handsome face, and couldn't help laughing.

"When is it your turn to talk to me, brat? Didn't you just teach you a little, and you thought you could starve to death, master?"

He poked Yasheng's forehead with his finger, but he didn't see the aggrieved expression that he often saw before, Gu Changli couldn't help feeling sad.

"Yasheng, you are really getting less and less interesting. How come you have become a little old man after learning a little at a young age—isn't that my fault?"

Gu Yasheng ignored his clichéd complaints, remade a pot of hot tea and handed it over, and then said seriously, "I'm older than you."——so, don't Because my previous actions made me look like a child.

"Yes Yes."

Gu Changli murmured in his heart, "This kid started to rebel after learning something", and patted the other person on the shoulder and asked, "Have you read the articles I asked you to memorize today?"

"I watched it early in the morning."

From Gu Changli's undisguised expression, Yasheng felt pain in his heart, but he was helpless.

I was seriously injured before and lost my memory, and I was crawling and rolling under the cliff for more than ten months, and my behavior naturally seemed weird and vulgar, as ignorant as a child.

But it was at that time that I met Changhe, the most embarrassing and most embarrassing side of him was seen thoroughly by the other party, and the impression left was naturally not good - but I don't know when I will be able to show him my true appearance , at least, stop treating yourself as a child.

Gu Changli held the teacup and sat back on the chair. When he looked up, he saw Yasheng was lowering his head, thinking about something with an unpredictable expression—let alone, he was so big and tall, and he looked good. It's really a bit bluffing from the posture, and you can't see the inner nature of its silly roe deer at all.

Gu Zhang, who had seen that weird and wonderful "fruit sacrifice ceremony" with his own eyes, sighed deeply for a moment, and raised his hand to call the other party over.

"Yasheng, we stayed in this small town for a while, but do you still like it here?"

Gu Changli asked Yasheng on the other side of the Eight Immortals table with a smile.

"I like it—as long as there is a place with long hair, I like it."

Although the houses here are simple, the food is ordinary, and there are no extra advantages except the surrounding scenery is not bad, if I was in the past, I wouldn't even let my eyes fall here for a long time.But everything, just because of the existence of the person in front of him, even the abyss of purgatory can be turned into a fairyland on earth, let alone other things.

"Tsk tsk, that's right, it won't be of much use to me as a big man. Keeping the girl I like in the future, coupled with your face, will definitely have a miraculous effect."

"No."

Yasheng lowered his eyes, trying his best to cover up the dark light flowing in them.

It was originally said to you alone, how could you use it to benefit others?

He didn't say that.

——Understand that in the eyes of Changhe, the self at this time is at most worthy of closeness, a friend and a disciple, in short, it is definitely not the kind of relationship he wants.He won't reveal his longing and that heart too early, he and Chang Qi still have a long, long time and a long time to accompany them.Someday he'll let him take it without resistance, for sure.

"????"

Although he was a little puzzled by Yasheng's half-spoken words, he was not obsessive-compulsive disorder who would be easily killed. After squinting at the other party for a while, he still opened his mouth to talk about the topic he had been thinking about recently.

"Does Yasheng want to visit other places?"

He slowly took out a roll of simple and dilapidated map from his cuff, which was slightly yellowish and full of vicissitudes of time, and unfolded it carefully.

"I bought this from an old man. That old man is also a great person. If he was born in our place, he would inevitably become the second Xu Xiake. Just look-"

"When the old man was young, he set out with a pack of bags and traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers. Wherever he went, he carefully traced a map of the terrain and talked about his memory."

"Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts, Da Chu, Bei Shuo, and Xize, each occupying a corner, and they all have the ambition to sweep away the world and compete in the Central Plains. Such an area."

Gu Changli gently covered the map with his hand, just blocking the area marked with words on the map.

"Look at this place—in the tenth year of Wujian's reign, I took a boat on the sea and watched the rain fall on the two continents. They all converged to the east, and the waves surged without seeing the shore rise."

"The old man traveled to the Southland, where most of the residents live by fishing. He boarded a fisherman's boat and went out to sea, but unfortunately encountered a heavy rain and almost died there, but he still didn't know how big the water area was. "

"Look at this place again. In the third year of Wujian, I traveled westward and encountered a sea of ​​sand. I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. After traveling a hundred miles, there was no water and no food. I fell to the ground and waited for death. Fortunately, the caravan rescued me and survived. "

Gu Changli's hands gradually tightened, with such strength that obvious blue veins burst out on the back of his hands.

Ever since he came to this strange, unaccompanied world, he has been struggling to survive, thinking of saving his life, thinking of fleeing, and he just settled down to live a life not long ago, at least he doesn't need to worry about his life all the time.

At that time, the rejection and incompatibility of outsiders towards the world, which had been buried deep in my heart due to the oppressive environment, began to emerge little by little.

What kind of world is this?

To this day, he still has the habit of touching his cell phone when he opens his eyes, looking at his wrist when he doesn’t know the time, looking for electric lights when it’s dusk, even if he transforms the carriage by hand, he still misses the big iron with four wheels that pollute the air. Occasionally speaking sentences that even elementary school students know will be called a great talent here, and many people even regret his humble status, otherwise he would definitely win the first place in the imperial examination.

Everything is telling him a fact coldly and cruelly.

——Gu Changli, this is not your world.

——And you, it is very likely that you will never return to that piece of land that he dreams of, which is not very good, but it is by no means bad.

So what should he do?

Continue to stay in a quiet corner, spend your whole life in this peaceful and peaceful town, find a gentle and virtuous girl, raise three or two children, continue to open a small rouge shop, and wait for the one who dies of illness, old age or whatever. one day?

Or, relying on the knowledge of half a bottle of water, you can take refuge in any country, and the troubled times of the three pillars, isn't it a great opportunity for Dianniang to become famous and become famous forever?The country is in your hands, the beauty is in your arms, wake up and hold the power of the world, lie drunk on the lap of a beauty, and walk through a lifetime in a vigorous wind and waves-the most classic template of a traveler.

Unfortunately, he didn't want either of these options.

His heart has not been so depressed that he wants to hide in a place for the elderly, but he does not have so much boiling blood to merge into the trend of the times and do what he wants to do.

In the final analysis, Gu Changli is just a dude who likes to play with sex, but doesn't have much ambition and means to fight for power and glory.

"Yasheng, do you know?"

Gu Changli tapped the table with his right hand, a faint but genuine smile rose from the corner of his lips.

"The world is very big, there are counties, counties, states, and countries, and there are countries outside the country; outside the country, there are uninhabited deserts, and vast oceans, and there may be some messy places... The ocean is so vast and boundless. , maybe there is another land besides the ocean, there are also people on the land, there are also countries, and there are more incredible scenery..."

"There is still such a big and wide place, why do you keep your eyes fixed on such a narrow and cramped corner?"

"Yasheng."

He slightly raised his head and looked at the scenery outside the window. A beautiful bird with mottled fur happened to pass by obliquely, and Gu Changli's eyes became brighter.

"The world is so big, I want to see it."
