Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

In other words, when Ban Xinyu asked for directions, he was dragged home by the old man. After working for half a day, Mr. Ban, who had never done any rough work, was so tired that he lay flat on the ground.At this time, seeing a young man walking in, the elderly couple who were very rude to him were very polite, and they had all sorts of faint admiration in their eyes. Ban Xinyu pulled out a weed and thought bitterly, who is so sacred? How happy the old man is!The young man was dressed in a long gown, holding a bag of something in his hand.I saw that he showed it to the old couple, said something, and then left. Before he left, he didn't forget to take a look at someone in the green leaves and loess.Ban Xinyu was playing with the grass root in his hand, just in time to meet the eyes of the man looking over, subconsciously picked up the grass root, and looked directly at the past.The young man left after a slight pause, and Ban Xinyu spat out the grass roots triumphantly.The old couple bowed to the sky in the direction the young man left, and the old lady went back into the house. Ban Xinyu stood up, patted the grass clippings and dirt on his buttocks and walked over.

"Who is that?"

The old man looked at him and put away the smile on his face, "Rure, that's Mrs. Bai in the city. He has a good heart and excellent medical skills. He is really a good person." As he spoke, Ban Xinyu couldn't help sighing, and Ban Xinyu looked at him with blank eyes. God, "Do you have a daughter?".He asked suddenly, the old man didn't know what he meant and just looked at him.Ban Xinyu continued: "If you have a girl, marry her to him, what a nice person!".As he said, he shook his clothes and walked towards the eaves, leaving behind the furious old man, "Good boy, it's really rude to make fun of my old man.".Ban Xinyu sat under the eaves by himself, and the old lady brought water from the house, "Young master has worked hard, wash your hands and you can eat.".Ban Xinyu had a good impression of the old lady who didn't talk much. After washing her hands, the old lady took out dinner, and then went back to the house.The old man sat opposite him, with a rare silence on his face this day.Ban Xinyu ate slightly sweet long melon, served with white porridge and pickles, and it tasted delicious.The old man chewed the things in his mouth slowly.Occasionally a sigh.

"What's the matter, isn't this melon sweet?" Ban Xinyu half-jokingly asked.

The old man shook his head, "Seeing that you think of my son, if you are alive, you should be this old.".

Ban Xinyu paused and stopped asking.I knew in my heart that there were only two old people in this family, no wonder I didn't see other members of the family all day.After being silent for a while, the old man suddenly said: "If my son is still alive, he will not be as rude and arrogant as you!".Ban Xinyu paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in disbelief: "I'm rude and arrogant?" Just kidding, among his group of friends, he is the most docile and easy to talk, okay!Seeing his unconvinced look, the old man snorted and said, "The most basic courtesy to ask an elder is to bow and bow. How are you doing this morning!".Ban Xinyu was at a loss for words, he wasn't being rude but just a habit, couldn't it be that he is an old man who cares about every detail!The old man looked at the burden he put aside, and then at the clothes he was wearing, and laughed: "He was kicked out, right?".Ban Xinyu's face was a little uncomfortable, his head was sullen and he didn't speak.The old man laughed even more happily, "If you look like this, my son will also drive you out, and you will have to come back home after you have learned it outside.".Ban Xinyu was not convinced, why is this old man just like his father!But after he said this, he remembered the purpose of this trip. Seeing that it was getting dark, he felt a drum in his heart. He didn't want to go back to the city to stay overnight. He didn't know how to laugh when those people saw him!

"It's getting dark today, I'm still here, you haven't told me the way yet!" The old man looked at him, dissatisfied with his tone.Ban Xinyu was anxious again, so he had no choice but to give in and said: "My old man, just tell me, and I will forgive you for not being polite.".Satisfied, the old man said slowly: "The road on the left is towards Changzhou, while the road on the right is deserted that day, and it goes to those places in Miaojiang. No matter which way you go, the weather is hot now, and you have no vehicles or horses to cover you." , within half a day, you will drink to death on the way."

When he said it, Ban Xinyu was also frightened.He hadn't thought about these questions, but as he said, he still had to rent a carriage! "Then what should I do?" His money is limited, every penny spent is one penny lost!

"Tomorrow there will be a carriage going to Changzhou to buy medicinal materials, you can ask them for a ride."Ban Xinyu heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't have to spend his own money.The old man looked at him with a slight smile on his face.Ban Xinyu thought of another matter, hesitantly said, "The carriage belongs to that person just now?".The old man nodded, "It's Mrs. Bai's medical hut. It happened that Mrs. Bai delivered the medicine. I asked, and he agreed."The old man said lightly, this may be just a sentence to the old man, but it is different to him.Although he is usually ignorant as his father said, he also knows the ways of the world.

"Thank you, old man."

The old man smiled, "I will stay here tonight with peace of mind, and I will leave tomorrow morning. I am waiting for the day when you come back, old man. It will not be like this."Ban Xinyu nodded silently, the porridge was inexplicably salty.

You will meet many people in your life, but not everyone will greet you with a smile.What we can do is to be kind to everyone who smiles at you, and to smile back.Throw it to papaya and repay it to Qiongyao.

Early the next morning, a carriage came out of the city very early.The old man accompanied Ban Xinyu to the intersection and waited, got into the carriage, and waved goodbye to the old man.Ban Xinyu was sitting in the rickety carriage, except for a driver, there was also a middle-aged man inside.During the chat, I knew that he was the doctor of the white doctor, responsible for the purchase of medicinal materials in the medicine house.Speaking of this Bai's medicine house, it should be very famous in the imperial city, but Ban Xinyu still has no impression after searching his memory.Most of his hangouts are related to eating, drinking and having fun, so naturally he doesn't have any memory of the medicine house.

The carriage rattled and headed south, Ban Xinyu leaned against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep.He didn't know where to go, but now that he got into this carriage, he simply followed it.Speaking of Changzhou, there is nothing special in Ban Xinyu's image, but only the peach blossom wine is still fresh in his memory.Peach Blossom Wine is a national wine, and its origin is Changzhou.As a national wine, it is difficult to drink peach blossom wine in ordinary restaurants.Unless you are in the Royal Inner Court, or the imperial gift, you can be lucky enough to taste it.However, although there are not many in the mansion of the General Protecting the Country, it is not too small.Every important day, His Majesty will give it to important courtiers.Basically, there are more or less officials in the palace who can go to the palace to participate in the early court.

Thinking of the taste of the peach blossom wine, Ban Xinyu couldn't help but get phlegm in his mouth.The wine tastes sweet and mellow, with a long-lasting fragrance.At the beginning, I felt that no matter how much I drank, I would not be drunk and not enough, but the aftertaste was very strong.This is the reason his father never let him drink too much, thinking about it, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.With endless yearning for the hometown of peach blossom wine, Ban Xinyu finally arrived in Changzhou.After saying thanks, they parted ways with the two people who bought the medicine.Hearing that Mingyue Mountain Villa is the origin of Peach Blossom Wine, Ban Xinyu made up his mind to go there and have a look. It is best to learn something, so that he can make it himself when he goes back.Walking into Changzhou City, although the blooming flowers cannot be compared with the imperial city, it is still very lively.Ban Xinyu looked at everything with curiosity and freshness, was dazzled, and didn't even care about the burden on his chest.Feel here, look there, completely unaware of the few stout men who have been following him not far behind him for some time.After wandering around for half a day, I was looking for someone to ask how to get to Mingyue Mountain Villa, but I asked a few people and they ignored him.Finally, three men who claimed to be workers from the Mingyue Mountain Winery appeared. They were very enthusiastic about him and offered to take him to have a look.Ban Xinyu was naturally happy, thinking to himself, it's not as difficult as it says in the book, and there are still many good people.

Ban Xinyu followed the three of them into an alley, and suddenly something black covered his head.Ban Xinyu was in a bad mood and struggled to take it off.Sudden pain in the head, and I lost consciousness.When he woke up, he found that he had been robbed by thieves. His burden was gone, and even the brocade clothes he was wearing had been stripped off.Look around again, where are the crowds in the downtown area?As far as the eye can see are vegetation, without any trace of human activity.Ban Xinyu was suddenly frightened, and burst into tears with a whimper.Weeping and cursing, "You son of a bitch! My money and my clothes!!...".

After stumbled and stumbled, I finally saw the main road, and felt a lot of peace of mind.As long as you see the road, you will meet passers-by, thinking silently in your heart, walking along the road.But the current Ban Xinyu doesn't know that the so-called passer-by really makes him wait so much!After walking along the road for three days, Ban Xinyu was completely desperate.No one passed by the empty road for three days. When he was hungry, he gnawed on the sour wild fruit beside the road. He didn't know if it was poisonous, but he still didn't die after eating it.When it was dark, I slept by the side of the road, and when it was dawn, I continued walking.Now his appearance is worse than that of a beggar, and Ban Xinyu can't cry anymore.Walking like a wandering spirit to the fourth day, finally the sound of hoofbeats came.Ban Xinyu's lifeless eyes immediately burst into a strange light, and he waved at the fast-running horse, to be exact, it was the person on the horse.Ban Xinyu shouted with all his strength: "Hey, stop, eat! Eat!".This is his most urgent desire now.The horse flashed by, but luckily the man threw something over.Ban Xinyu spotted it and hugged it, and it turned out to be a sesame seed cake.Ban Xinyu was so excited that tears filled his eyes, he cherished the biscuits as if they were delicacies from mountains and seas, and then devoured them.

After eating, Ban Xinyu felt that he was still a person, and his spirit was much better.His IQ has also come back a bit, he thought someone explained that he is not far from the city!So he quickened his pace and rushed forward, and as expected, he saw the city gate with the word Zhuzhou written on it.Ban Xinyu was ecstatic and ran away.Not far away is the shining hope. Thinking about what happened in the past few days, I feel a sense of grievance in my heart.

"Alas!" There was a tingling pain in his ankle, and Ban Xinyu saw that a black and shiny snake was swimming towards the grass quickly, and his legs went limp at that time.He collapsed on the grass in one fell swoop, speechless and crying.That's why, later on, I met Liu Fugui, the prefect Liu who occasionally disappeared, and lived in the prefect's office. I met Su Cai, Su Lu, who was also rescued by the prefect Liu, and the story began. .

good night~
