Chapter 55: The past is shocking in Suzhou City
Suzhou City is located in the south. It has just passed mid-February. It is already sunny and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
On both sides of the road, there are golden weeping willows, and goose yellow willow branches are soft and long, swaying gently in the breeze. There are many pedestrians on the street, stalls gather, shouting one after another, and extremely prosperous.
Mu Changfeng led a white horse and stopped in front of a stall selling musical instruments. In the center of the stall, a bamboo flute was placed, and a string of white tassels hung at the end. The bamboo flute was green and shining with a jade-like luster. The tassels were more white as snow, and were very beautiful.
Thinking of the first time seeing Senior Sister Xin holding a jade flute, Mu Changfengqing couldn't help but smile. After asking about the price, he bought the bamboo flute and carefully placed it in the package.
"Young Master must be buying a bamboo flute for your sweetheart, right?" The stall owner smiled angrily and had a good impression of Mu Changfeng.
Mu Changfeng smiled and said, "I bought it for my sister."
"Buy it for my sister?" The stall owner was quite surprised. "I thought the young man bought it for my sweetheart. The young man laughed just now, tsk..."
Mu Changfeng said: "It's not that my own sister is better than my own sister, but that's the one I respect."
"Oh, so that's it, I understand, I understand." The stall owner smiled and wrinkled, his eyes were filled with shrews, and his eyes were filled with shrewd light. It fell into Mu Changfeng's eyes, making him look extremely strange.
"You have a brain disease, do you understand what?" Mu Changfeng muttered in his heart, left the stall owner and continued to move forward.
Not far ahead is the largest restaurant in Suzhou City, called "Star Watching Sea". The plaque with golden characters shines brightly in the sun. There are many distinguished guests on the upper floor, and the traffic downstairs is full of traffic, and business is booming, which is even better than the past.
Mu Changfeng has always disliked the sound of cups and cups, and planned to take a detour. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from afar, ragged, hunched, staggering, and slowly walked in with a dead wooden crutch.
It was the beggar mother-in-law I met at the Beifeng Teahouse in Minzhou City.
Mu Changfeng had already expected that this person had a great origin. When he met again, he was extremely excited and quickened his pace and walked forward. When he arrived at the restaurant, a friend immediately came out and said something about welcoming guests, while leading the white horse to tie it to the pillar.
Listening attentively, he found that the voice of the beggar's mother-in-law came from the third floor. Mu Changfeng didn't bother with the politeness and rushed up.
Those who drink alcohol and eat delicious food here are all well-known figures in Suzhou City, both men, women, and young and beautiful clothes.
The beggar's mother-in-law has a undressed face and has patches on her clothes, making her a unique "scenery".
But the shopkeeper and the guests in the restaurant seemed to welcome her very much. The waiter happily brought a wooden chair and placed it on the open space in front of the wine table. The beggar mother-in-law sat down carelessly, and the waiter immediately served tea and snacks, taking care of her attentive and thoughtful.
Mu Changfeng was quite interesting, so he picked a seat next to the window and ordered a few side dishes at will.
The beggar's mother-in-law suddenly turned her head, looked straight at Mu Changfeng, and nodded with a smile. Looking at her expression, she seemed not surprised by his appearance.
Mu Changfeng was very confused. Did this mother-in-law come here on purpose? The encounter in Minzhou City was not accidental. Is this encounter also under her plan?
Every word the beggar's mother-in-law said was clearly heard in her ears. Mu Changfeng could almost confirm that this person not only had a great origin, but also knew all the past events of Senior Sister Xin. Her every word and action was to help Senior Sister Xin escape from the sea of suffering.
A gorgeously dressed girl said aloud: "Grandma Hai, why did you come so late today? We are all waiting for you to see you."
Mu Changfeng looked at the beggar's mother-in-law in a flash, thinking that her surname was Hai, and I had never heard of her name. There are people outside the heavens, and real masters often see the dragon but not the tail, and it is difficult to find whereabouts. Why did she repeatedly show up for Senior Sister Xin? What is the relationship between them?
Grandma Hai smiled and said, "It seems that you like old women telling stories very much."
The guests in the room nodded frequently, and some people said, "My mother-in-law is very eloquent, better than the serious storytellers, and we all love to listen."
"I like the story of the fox repaying my kindness the most. My mother-in-law can tell it again."
"I think you like the beauty in the story, so how can you hear the story of Bailongtan?"
"I think you are obsessed with money, and the story of fish jumping over the dragon gate is the best."
"You also want to leap at the dragon gate and win the imperial examination toad palace, right?"
Everyone talked and talked, and it was so lively.
Mu Changfeng was eating side dishes quietly, thinking that Grandma Hai was so knowledgeable that she dared to travel from Minzhou to Suzhou alone. She must have traveled all the way over the years and knew countless strange stories.
The gorgeously dressed girl said before, "I think the story of 'Agu Cliff' is nice. Although it's a bit scary, I like it. Does mother-in-law have any more scary stories?"
Grandma Hai clapped her hands and said, "I like you little girl. Today I will fulfill your wish and tell a scary story. I wonder what you think?" Looking around for a week, she smiled, "It is definitely amazing. You are all from Suzhou City. Do you know the origin of Suzhou City? What I said today is related to Suzhou City."
Everyone here likes to listen to Grandma Hai telling stories. A few people who want to hear stories about beautiful women treasures have also become curious about the place where they live for generations, and say yes together.
Grandma Hai drank the tea in the cup and glanced at Mu Changfeng with a meaningful look.
Mu Changfeng was very confused and thought to himself that she wanted to tell the origin of Suzhou City, why did she look at me like this?
Grandma Hai said: "Time has changed, time has passed, and it has been so long that you don't know what thrilling things have happened in your hometown. A thousand years ago, Suzhou was originally called Weicheng, and the evergreen mountain two hundred miles away was originally called Weishan. Weicheng was destroyed overnight, and the residents in the city died without leaving their dogs. Your ancestors were not from Weicheng, they all came from other hometowns. Some people encountered great floods, some people encountered wars, and some people were not allowed to leave their hometowns and settle down here in order to avoid their enemies. Generation after generation, and today, the prosperity and prosperity that was a thousand years ago has finally reappeared."
The woman in the gorgeous clothes said: "What happened a thousand years ago? Why are all the residents in the city dead?"
Grandma Hai said: "Monsters take revenge, and innocent people are tragically implicated. The old man and baby cannot escape the poisonous hand. The huge city of Wei was destroyed overnight, and tens of thousands of residents turned into unjust souls. It is a pity."
Mu Changfeng's hand shook violently, and the word "monster" was like a thunderous bolt, which made his face pale.
The woman in gorgeous clothes said: "Why is such a thrilling thing not recorded in the books?"
Grandma Hai said: "The residents in the city are all clean, but the houses and fields are not seriously damaged. Most of the utensils and property are intact. The ancestors occupied the things left by the dead, so how can you be embarrassed to let future generations know? More importantly, there is an emperor here, forcing the historian to erase this history. In today's world, there are only a few who know the origin of Suzhou City."
The guests here were angry, and they looked so anxious that they had already disappeared. They unanimously accused Grandma Hai of talking nonsense about slandering their ancestors. A few of them had bad tempers who rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat them up.
