Chapter three hundred and forty-five happy occasions on the road

Hezhou is located in the northwest of Chang'an. The terrain is undulating and rugged, and the forests are sparsely exposed with brown and yellow land. I am used to the southern climate. The wind here on my face is full of heat and discomfort.

Since ancient times, there have been counties and counties. Every time there are wars, this place is a place that military strategists must fight for. It is called the important town of Hehuang and is also a must-pass way to connect to the Western Regions. Walking along the road, Lu Liangsheng also witnessed the tea and horse market, and merchants from the Western Regions and Central Plains gathered.

However, this trip was not a trip, so Heyuan County, the capital of Hezhou, would not go in. He bypassed this city where the Han and Hu were intersecting, and searched for the two worlds on the way to inquire about the mountains of the two worlds.

After walking for a while, he gradually got out of the business trips on the road. Lu Liangsheng turned around and looked at the bookshelf. Taoist Toad built a hammock, lying on it with a leaf and fanned it. The hot wind blew, and he turned his head and opened his mouth, rolled his tongue away. There was a small bowl of iced cherry cheese next to him, and he hummed a little song with his legs comfortably.

On the side, Zhu Gangli was sweating profusely. He had finished his cold sweets when he had passed Heyuan County. He was sucking in saliva and looked at the red rooster bowl beside Toad Taoist.

Taoist Toad yawned, felt the pig demon's gaze, and lazily covered the leaf in his hand from the mouth of the bowl, preventing the other party from looking at it.

‘I didn’t let you see the food last time I stole it, hum.’

In front, Lu Liangsheng was too lazy to pay attention to the fighting between master and pig demon, and lowered his eyes to look at the map and paper in his hand. This was bought by a merchant going to Chang'an when he came to Hezhou. Along the current road, he must pass through a place called Jishi Town.

‘The monkey that my mother in Mount Li mentioned is on the Two Realms Mountains of Jishi Mountain. Well, this village should not be too far away, so it’s better to go over and ask.’

Following the official road below you for about a stick of incense, you turn over the foot of the mountain in front, and a small river flows around the town in the distance to the mountains on both sides of the east.

‘This is Jishi Town.’

Lu Liang gave birth to a mountain road and led an old donkey and a human-shaped pig Gangman into the town. On the dry long street, dust and flies were buzzing.

The people in the northwest are fierce. Many people have weapons hanging around their waists and hunting knives sitting on the street, gnawing on the legs of lambs. When they see scholars wearing scholar robes holding old donkeys, their eyes are alert, or they look over fiercely.

The long streets are as lively and noisy as big cities.

Unlike the inn in the Central Plains, a guy with a square white hat stood outside the restaurant, attracting passers-by. He glanced at Lu Liangsheng, dressed in an outsider, and hurried to the stone steps under the eaves and shouted hard.

"Guests from afar, come here to try the Northwest food. It is rare in the Central Plains. They grab mutton with hand, have a good tender lamb, and have a bite of juice. There are also spicy stuffed skins, yellow wine and meat. I don't like it, there are other things..."

The guy's shouts and the hawking sounds of street vendors outside, the shouts and the jingling pots, pans and spoons were intertwined into a lively noise.

"Liangsheng, we have been walking for a long time, and the road is full of dry food, so why not go in?"

In the bookshelf compartment, Taoist Toad was pressed against the crack of the door, looking at the restaurant on the street, and the smell of mutton after being roasted was heard, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Gu~~

Over there, Zhu Gangli's stomach also sounded a rumbling sound, and Lu Liangsheng nodded: "Then let's go to this store, and ask for information."

In the cloth shop on the side of the restaurant, two people walked out with cloth laughing and laughing. When they saw the handsome scholar who was walking up the stone steps and walking to the restaurant, they were stunned for a moment, and suddenly stuffed the cloth in their arms to their companions and hurriedly met them.

"Sir! Mr. Lu! It's really yours?"

Lu Liangsheng, who was talking to the restaurant clerk, heard someone calling him, and turned his head to see that he was a strong man in his 10s. Ge Qing was wearing a dress and was bowing to him.

This man's face was dark and looked familiar, but Lu Liangsheng couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Who are you?"

"It's indeed Mr. Lu."

Confirm that he did not recognize the wrong person, the man smiled excitedly, waved his arms, and pointed to the south.

"......... A few years ago, Mr. Lu smashed the Golden Palace of Emperor Chen Dynasty in anger, and captured it under the name of the emperor.... He chased him. At that time, he showed mercy and let us go."

After hearing what the man said, Lu Liangsheng suddenly remembered that past. There was indeed such a thing. He never thought that he could meet his fellow villagers when he came to a remote northwest.

"Haha, it's better to meet by chance than to meet each other. I'm going to have a meal here, so why not come together."

"No, sir, come far away, how can you ask me for it?"

The man asked his companion who was carrying the cloth to leave first, and then bowed to invite Lu Liangsheng back to the street and went forward: "Mr. I came here for a coincidence and a wonderful thing. There was a happy event at home, so I don't have to spend money."

Lu Liangsheng followed him and couldn't help but be happy about this chance encounter. Hearing that there was still a happy event, he asked:

"What is the joy of the mansion?"

"Hehe, I'm giving birth to a big fat boy for me. I just finished the month of the day and met my husband."

The man seemed excited. Seeing that he was walking faster, he slowed down again. He followed him and said while leading the way:

"My sir is a master of Taoism. It just so happened that my boy was full month old and had not yet named him a great name. I wonder if Mr. can help him get a name. In the future, I may be able to make a name for him."

Lu Liangsheng naturally would not refuse to have a banquet. On the way back, he also knew that the dark man, whose surname was Liu and whose name was Geng, was forgotten by Chen Chao, surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty and was sent here to station for two or three years.

"Actually, I can still get along with General Liu, who is stationed in Hezhou. I haven't been bullied here. I'm doing well. Now I've completely settled here."

Liu Gun smiled brightly, walked across a stone bridge, and pointed to the bustling village over there, "Mr. Lu, right ahead."

There were a lot of guests in the village. Lu Liangsheng handed the old donkey to the idle people in the village, put his master in his sleeve bag, and went in with Zhu Gangli. The voices were noisy, and the accent was heard. There were many people in the Central Plains and the south. These people basically brought their families and lived together, and took care of each other when they encountered happy events.

"Mr. Lu, and this hero, sit here!"

Liu Gun asked someone to install another table, put together some chairs, and asked the brothers whom he usually had come to accompany the seats to avoid neglecting the masters.

The yard is not big, with more than ten tables sitting in full bloom. When Lu Liangsheng came over, the meals for the banquet were almost done. Someone opened his voice and shouted: "Seat start!"

The woman in the military household who had been waiting for a long time, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a plate of dishes and placed them on the table. Most of the food was special in the northwest. The mutton was large and could not be stuffed in one bite, and her mouth was full of oil.

The naked child held a sheep rib and turned over and got off the table. With his parents scolding, he ran to eat and play with his friends.

Lu Liangsheng grabbed a piece of sheep bone, tore off the meat on it, quietly put it off the cuffs, and was swept away in a moment. The Toad Taoist lie on his side comfortably, holding the strip of meat and chewing it slowly.

Zhu Gangli likes this the most. He bypasses the pork in other dishes, takes a lamb leg and tear off a piece of meat and eats it into his mouth. He picks up a big bowl and bangs with a few soldiers, tilts his head and drinks it all in one gulp, winning a lot of cheers around him.

At this time, a table near the main hall was heard and a voice shouted, "Hey, I'm carrying it out!"

Lu Liangsheng turned his head and saw Liu Gun holding his cradle, walking past the people around him, coming here, and entrusting the child to give a gift.

"Sir, please give me a name."

Only then did the seven or eight tables far away notice that there was an additional scholar here.

"When did someone come, my face is tight." "It seems that he is still a scholar. Liu Gun is so lucky. Now the child can have a good reputation."

"What does it mean? The name we think is not good?"

"Liu Tiedao, it sounds nice?"

"A man, his name must be strong! Iron Knife, Iron Knife, went to the battlefield, how majestic!"

"roll!"

......

In the noisy voice, Lu Liangsheng had agreed before, so he naturally would not refuse. He opened the corner of the cradle, looked at the baby inside, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, his cheeks were plump and pink, and he was cute. He reached out to tease his pink little nose, raised his face and asked:

"Is it your first child?"

"yes."

Lu Liangsheng pondered for a moment and asked someone to help him take the bookshelf behind his donkey. Soon, a Chinese character came back with the bookshelf.

"Sir, your bookshelf."

“Just let it go.”

Lu Liangsheng took out his pen and ink, thought about the name carefully, and grind the ink. The first child should be the Bo generation... Well, there is.

Immediately, spread a small piece of paper, and then click the tip of the pen to slowly write "Liu". After turning, it fell to the side. The tip of the pen drifted, leaving the word "Bo". People who know how to read will shout out loud whenever they write a word, so that people who don't know can know it.

‘The soldiers of this army, when they heard the sound of gold and beat the drums, were destined to be successful…’
