Chapter 32 The Road to the South (4)

It takes no time to find a place to find a broken iron shoe.

Guo Hao searched for a caravan for a day and thought about the Chen family, but the two sides were unhappy before, so Guo Hao didn't look for them.

What he didn't expect was that Mr. Chen came to the door by himself, and Guo Hao stood at the door and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

"This young master is preparing a little wine. I wonder if my brother can enjoy the scenery?"

Mr. Chen has always been very polite when he invited Guo Hao. If Guo Hao doesn’t give him face, it would be that he would be too much.

"Okay, but Qiunan hasn't eaten yet, I'm going to ask him for some food first."

"Haha, don't worry, brother, let's leave this to Chen!"

Guo Hao looked back at Qiunan after hearing this, and Qiunan nodded to him, so the two of them came to the next room, and there was indeed an exquisite banquet.

The two sides took a seat and the maid poured wine for the two of them. Mr. Chen raised his glass and said, "I'm the next person, Chen, his name is Lin, and his courtesy name is Xiuhe. I wonder what is the name of Brother Tai?"

Seeing this, Guo Hao raised his glass: "Oh, my surname is Chen Minghao, and there is no word for typing at present."

"No word for prose? Brother Guo hasn't reached the title yet?"

"This is also for the word "table."

The two drank a glass of wine and knew each other. Chen Lin said: "For today's incident, Chen offended many people, so I hope Brother Guo will not blame him."

"Brother Chen is too polite. Guo is also a little reckless and shouldn't have spoken that way."

Guo Hao was still a little uncomfortable with the conversation between literati. After drinking a few glasses of wine, both of them let go.

"Brother Guo, you said you came out of Zhengzhou and wanted to go to Yingzhou to join your relatives. I don't know which one it is, maybe I know you."

Guo Hao felt a little moved when he heard this, put down his wine glass and said, "Actually, we brother and sister have no relatives in Yingzhou!"

"oh?"

Chen Lin was intrigued. He originally wanted to ask about him and Qiu Nan, but he didn't expect there was any hidden truth.

"To be honest, Qiunan and I escaped. Qiunan's father is my master, and he is a famous local good man.

Years of severe droughts and locusts are everywhere, and the people are living in poverty. My master has used all his family wealth to help the people, and also made locust powder, which has saved countless people.

Who knew that the tree was so big that the royal family was cruel. They couldn't stand my master's behavior, so they actually caught him and died tragically in prison!"

The story Guo Hao told was nonsense, but at this time, it was very reasonable.

Spend all your family’s wealth and win over others’ hearts. Who knows whether you are going to rebel? People at this time are very sensitive and simple. Whoever gives you food will listen to whoever gives you money will be the emperor.

"We brothers and sisters cannot save our master. We were chased countless times along the way. We finally ran out and planned to go to Yingzhou and go to the southern country. If we have the chance in the future, we will return to the Central Plains to avenge our father!"

After Guo Hao said that, he looked at Chen Lin. Chen Lin seemed to believe his words and was moved by the tragic experience of the two.

"It turns out that Brother Guo is so difficult, he has pitied the people of the Central Plains!"

Chen Lin drank a glass of wine and seemed to be very touched. In fact, he had seen many tragedies on earth along the way, but he could not do anything about it.

Just as Guo Hao said, even if he is rich, he dares not do anything, otherwise he will be said to have ulterior motives and cause disaster.

In fact, many of the victims in the Central Plains fled to the south, and southern countries also refused to accept them. After all, some people have military sources. If they want to maintain peace, they must have the power to protect themselves.

"I heard that Brother Chen is from the southern country. I don't know if I can take us brother and sister for a long time. Guo thanked me here in advance. I will repay you if you have any chance in the future!"

As he said that, Guo Hao bowed and bowed, and asked for help. Chen Lin stood up to support him and said, "Brother Guo, don't be polite. We have to go back anyway. It doesn't matter if there are two more people, it's just a matter of raising hands."

Guo Hao thanked him here, Chen Lin helped him here, and the two continued to sit down. Guo Hao asked, "I don't know when Brother Chen plans to set off."

Chen Lin said: "I'll leave tomorrow. The weather is getting colder and colder. I'm also suffering on the road. And I promised my family to rush back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Guo Hao nodded and toasted Chen Lin with a glass of wine. Since they were going to rush tomorrow, the two of them didn't drink much and both rested early.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the two left the city first and joined Chen Lin's caravan in the city.

In fact, it was said that it was a caravan, and the goods had been sold, but when I came back, they didn’t bring much, they were all specialties from the Central Plains.

There were 23 people in the caravan. Except for Chen Lin and his maid, the rest were all guards. The small carriage was sitting in four people, which was a little crowded for a while.

"Brother Chen, I think I'd better go outside and let Qiunan be inside. Isn't this a bit crowded?"

After Guo Hao said that, his maid wanted Guo Hao to go out, but Chen Lin didn't care and waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, there are so many people that they are warm and lively.

By the way, I heard Brother Guo speak very well, so I must have read a lot of books.”

Guo Hao shook his head and said, "I have read a few books, but I don't want to understand them very much, so I can't compare with Brother Chen."

"Oh, Brother Guo, why should I belittle myself? It's so boring that I'm not as good as writing a poem to pass the time."

When he heard that he wanted to write a poem, Guo Hao shook his head repeatedly, but Qiu Nan was very interested. Chen Lin smiled slightly when he saw it and said, "Look, Miss Qiu Nan also wants you to write a poem!"

Guo Hao looked at Qiu Nan and saw her gesture: "Didn't you say a poem two days ago, that sentence sounds good!"

"Two days ago? Oh, that won't work. That was written by Li Bai, I just read it out."

"What about those before, those at home, you told me and my master."

"Those at home? No, they are all written by others."

Qiu Nan was a little unhappy when he heard this. Chen Lin couldn't understand what the two said, but from Guo Hao's words, he also heard that he had indeed written some poems.

"Miss Qiunan, are you saying that Brother Guo has written a poem before?"

Qiu Nan nodded.

"Then I'll take paper and pen, can you write it out?"

Qiu Nan nodded again.

Guo Hao was a little stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Qiunan and said, "Qiunan, when did I write poetry? Why don't I know? Don't write randomly, let's make people laugh."

But Qiu Nan was unwilling to write and insisted on writing. In her opinion, her brother Hao was omnipotent and could not be looked down upon.

"The clouds come and the mountains are better. The clouds leave the mountains as picturesque. The mountains are dark and bright, and the clouds are all high and low."

Qiu Nan put down his pen and the two had finished reading it. Guo Hao thought for a while, suddenly remembered it and asked Qiu Nan: "Isn't this the poem I read that day? You can remember it after listening it once?"

Qiu Nan nodded and showed a cute smile. She really remembered it. She remembered a lot of what Guo Hao said to her.

It is precisely because of these words that she realized Guo Hao's extraordinaryness that she believed more and more and more in her belief in Guo Hao and her uniqueness.

"What a poem, Brother Guo is a talented person. He is such a masterpiece with just a casual thought. Chen admires it!"

Guo Hao has seen the good writings of Southern Tang at this time, but he blamed that there were no entertainment activities at this time, and it seemed normal for literati to like these.

Qiu Nan was also very happy to see Chen Lin praise Guo Hao. He was indeed inspired that day because the scene at that time was very appropriate.

The group continued to move forward, but the speed was not as fast as the two of them. Fortunately, there were more people and there was no need to worry about food and accommodation.

At night, Guo Hao recalled the scene during the day. He thought casually and Qiu Nan remembered it. Then he said so much to her later, wouldn’t she remember it?

Moreover, this little girl didn't usually see it, and she seemed to like to show off. She must remind her if she had the chance. She said so many rebellious words, but she dared not talk nonsense to others.

In the next few days, the caravan came to Yingzhou without any danger, intending to stay here for a night, have a good rest, and then continue to set off.

Since he learned that Guo Hao is good at writing, Chen Lin has been pulling Guo Hao to discuss poetry. Although Guo Hao has some poems in his stomach, they are all under the box. He doesn't want to waste it here if he uses one less song.

"Brother Guo, look at the autumn scenery, the setting sun, the flowing water of the small bridge, don't you want to write a poem? Miss Qiunan told me that you shouldn't cherish it yourself!"

Chen Lin looked at Guo Hao with a smile. Guo Hao was beaten up by him all the way. He really had no choice but to look at the scene in front of him and pondered for a moment.

"Withed vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, and thin horses in the ancient road. The sunset is setting, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world."

"Heartbroken man is at the end of the world..."
