„Little Jing, front to which?” In the carriage, Yunshan appears a little worn out say/way. “小景,前面到哪儿了？”马车内,云山显得有点有气无力道。 Couple days ago they hurried along to encounter the rainstorm on the way, remote, at that time the space thunder, Yun Jing does not dare one group to go to under the tree to take shelter from the rain, can only go forward in spite of the rain, where knew on the way of the advance, the wheel hit on a stone of inside the puddle, the wheel went bad, Yunshan can cultivate/repair, got down to cultivate/repair in spite of the rain, finally heavy rain cold. 前几天他们赶路途中突遇暴雨,前不着村后不着店,当时天上电闪雷鸣,云景也不敢让一行人去树下避雨,只能冒雨前进,哪儿知前进途中,车轮撞在了水坑里的一块石头上,车轮坏了,云山会修,冒雨下去修,结果淋雨感冒。 Is good is good because of his body background, has no big obstructing, asked the doctor to look, takes a drug, in addition Yun Jing nourished with the spiritual energy in secret, he has restored 7788, was also a little dispirited. 好在他身体底子好,到底没什么大碍,找大夫看了,也吃了药,加上云景用灵气暗中滋养,他已经恢复得七七八八了,就是还有点萎靡。 Embarks from the family/home, Yun Jing they have marched on 12 days of roads, entered in Fengyang District. 从家里出发,云景他们已经赶了十二天的路,进入了凤阳县境内。 Originally should be able, that Yunshan to catch cold to see a doctor to lose day of time one day ahead of schedule. 本来应该能提前一天的,那次云山感冒看病耽误了一天时间。 These more than ten days of journeys, they took 400-500 li (0.5 km) road, Yun Jing experienced different local conditions and social customs all the way actually, developed the vision greatly. 这十多天的旅途,他们走了400-500里路,一路上云景倒是见识了不同的风土人情,大大的开拓了眼界。 Has the continuous dozens li (0.5 km) barren hill on the way, is desolated the birds to be few, over a hundred li (0.5 km) plain fertile soil, taking a broad view to look all are the farmland, has ten Merring, the Red bayberry liquor of that stretch of boundary is especially famous...... 途中有连绵数十里的荒山,荒芜得鸟兽都很少,也有上百里的平原沃土,放眼望去全是农田,更有十里梅林,那片地界的杨梅酒格外出名…… Now they go forward on Fengyang District domestic major road, is at noon. 如今他们前进在凤阳县境内的官道上,正是中午时分。 Great Li Dynasty was too big, here siwubai miles of Niujiao Town, even the voice had very big change, Yunshan Jiang Susu and the others had not studied Mandarin/bureaucratic language, even exchanged difficultly, was good speaks Mandarin/bureaucratic language because of Yun Jing . Moreover the learn/study had the dialect to come is also quick, poured did not fear that the road cannot ask. 大离王朝太大了,这里距离牛角镇四五百里,连口音都有了很大的变化,云山江素素等人没学过官话,连交流都困难,好在云景会官话,而且学习起方言来也很快,倒也不怕连路都问不着。 „Father, crossed the front that washer cable bridge, proceeded more than ten li (0.5 km) to arrive at Fengyang District district city again”, Yun Jing replied, ended Yun Jing to supplement that said: „Tomorrow, we should be able to arrive in mother's Xiaolin Village” “爹,过了前面那座铁索桥,再往前十多里就能到达凤阳县县城了”,云景回答道,完了云景补充一句说:“明天,我们应该就能到达娘亲的老家小林村了” His these words, the atmosphere was peaceful immediately. 他这番话一出,气氛顿时安静了下来。 More than ten days, were close to the destination finally, in the group, besides Jiang Susu, anybody this whole life has not passed through such far road. 十多天了,总算接近目的地,一行人里面,除了江素素外,其他任何人这辈子都没走过这么远的路。 Jiang Susu comes out to say from the carriage at this time: „Little Jing, you said that front has the washer cable bridge?” 江素素此时从马车中出来道:“小景,你说前面有座铁索桥？” „Is, mother, you looks, in front”, Yun Jing pointed at the front to say. “是的呢,娘,你看,就在前面”,云景指着前方说。 Jiang Susu seeks the sound to look, as if recalled anything, the eye socket was immediately red. 江素素寻声看去,似乎回忆起了什么,眼圈顿时就红了。 That washer cable bridge also 20-30 meters, by arm thick iron chain links between two mountains, above spreads the thick plank that is varying new and old. 那座铁索桥也不过20-30米长,由一根根手臂粗的铁链链接在两山之间,上面铺着新旧不一的厚实木板。 It does not know that had many years, the iron chain has seemed somewhat motley, the trace of patching, the wind blows, the chain bridge sways gently, is somewhat thrilling. 它不知道存在了多少岁月,铁链已经显得有些斑驳,还有修补的痕迹,风一吹,铁索桥轻轻摇晃,有些惊险。 „Mother, you how?” Seeing mother complexion is not right, Yun Jing the concern said immediately. “娘,你怎么了？”见母亲脸色不对,云景当即关切道。 Shakes the head, the tears in Jiang Susu eye socket fall, she muttered: „I remember that this washer cable bridge, passed through initially, at that time I left home a few days, really could not find to eat in Fengyang District district city, many people looked that my vision harbored evil intentions, I am thinking the distant place begged for food, after here, at that time several with the person who I fled from calamity” 摇摇头,江素素眼眶中的泪水滑落,她喃喃道:“我记得这座铁索桥,当初就走过,那时我离家没几天,在凤阳县县城实在找不到吃的,很多人看我的目光都不怀好意,我就想着去远处讨吃的,经过过这里,当时还有几个和我一起逃难的人呢” Originally she was stops up the thing to think of the sentiment to think initially not the good bitter experience, the Yun Jing comfort said: „Mother, was all right, in the past had passed” 原来她是堵物思情想到了当初不好的遭遇,云景安慰道:“娘,没事了,过去都已经过去” „Yes, past had passed, this in a flash, more than ten years, mothers already over 30 years old, your three children, but these pictures, recall initially now, as if still yesterday”, Jiang Susu wiped the tears disconsolate say/way. “是呀,过去的都已经过去了,这一晃眼,都十多年了呢,娘都已经三十多岁了,还有了你们三个孩子,可当初那些画面,现在回想起来,仿佛还在昨天”,江素素抹了抹眼泪儿惆怅道。 Yun Xi stretches out the small head, looks to the front chain bridge, spits the tongue saying: „Mother does not cry, that bridge looks at the danger, how at that time did you come?” 云夕伸出小脑袋,看向前面的铁索桥,吐了吐舌头道:“娘不哭,那座桥看着好危险啊,当时你怎么过来的？” „Walks, the small evening, that bridge is actually very solid, right......”, Jiang Susu recalled, then thought of anything suddenly, looks that more and more near chain bridge vision is inspecting. “走过来的呀,小夕,其实那座桥很结实的,对了……”,江素素回忆道,然后突然想到了什么,看着越来越近的铁索桥目光巡视着。 Yun Jing asked: „Did mother, what you remember?” 云景问:“娘,你想起了什么？” „Little Jing, lets the carriage slowly, mother walks, waited for you to know”, Jiang Susu keeps guessing to say. “小景,让马车慢点,娘走过去,等下你就知道了”,江素素卖了个关子道。 Yun Jing according to her, making the carriage stop, supports by the arm her to walk to move toward the chain bridge. 云景依她,让马车停下,搀扶着她步行走向铁索桥。 Arrives at bridgehead, under the gaze of people, Jiang Susu searches, then always opened a small flagstone that in the thick patch of grass is covered with the moss, under the flagstone, revealed the copper coin that three rusty stains stained almost and soil fused together unexpectedly. 来到桥头,在众人的注视下,江素素寻觅一番,然后在草丛总翻开了一块长满青苔的小石板,在石板下,居然露出了三个锈迹斑斑几乎和泥土融为一体的铜钱。 Jiang Susu cautious takes up that three copper coin, they looks to Yun Jing, said: „Little Jing, you look, these three copper coins still, were rust inadequately, but also remembers, initially these three copper coins, were on me the only wealth, on my road feared that was snatched secretly, hid here quietly, equaled could not be finding the whereabouts by some chance, came back to take out them, can buy several steamed buns to live some time, at that time on mother anything did not have, three copper coins, did not hate to spend, if bought six steamed buns, the water, is saving eating, a day ate half, I at least can support for half a month.” 江素素小心翼翼的拿起那三个铜钱,给云景他们看,说:“小景,你看,这三个铜板还在呢,就是锈得不成了,还记得,当初这三个铜板,是我身上唯一的钱财了,我路上怕被人偷抢,就悄悄藏在了这里,合计着万一找不到着落,就回来取出它们,也能去买几个馒头多活一段时间,当时娘身上什么都没有,就三个铜板,一直舍不得花,如果买六个馒头的话,就着水,省着吃,一天吃半个,我至少能撑半个月呢” Hears mother's words, the Yun Jing eyes becoming rough nose turns sour, the throat had anything stem to live probably, he is unable to imagine, how initially oneself mother lived through. 听到娘亲的话,云景双眼发涩鼻子发酸,喉咙像是有什么东西梗住了,他无法想象,当初自己都母亲是如何熬过来的。 Three copper coins, six steamed buns, can support for half a month...... 三个铜板,六个馒头,能撑半个月…… This simple words, a dull knife blade blade pokes probably in the Yun Jing heart, mother being able to suffer hardships was difficult initially, as the son, he is really good to love dearly to love dearly. 这简单的话,像是一把把钝刀子一刀刀戳在云景心头,母亲当初受得苦难,作为儿子的,他真的好心疼好心疼。 Was good has passed because of these. 好在那些都已经过去了。 Yun Jing hinted to listen to Jiang Susu story also eye socket red Song Yan to bring a small box, gave mother saying: „Mother, these three copper coins, receive” 云景示意听了江素素的故事也眼圈通红的宋岩拿来一个小盒子,递给母亲说:“娘,这三个铜板,收起来吧” Jiang Susu hears word full is the copper coin of rusty stain receives three, but actually puts out three completely placed the original position, covers the flagstone, she said: „I put three again here, person who if will have the misery in the future really did not have the means that turned them, although were not many, but hopes that can such to insist, so long as living, was hopeful, but I do not want such person to turn, because turned, world on many suffering hardships people” 江素素闻言将三个满是锈迹的铜板收好,但却重新拿出三个完好的放在了原处,盖好石板,她说:“我再放三个在这里,如果将来有苦难的人实在没办法了,翻到它们,虽然不多,但希望能让这样的人坚持下去,只要活着,就有希望,但我又不想有那样的人翻到,因为翻到的话,世间就多一个受苦的人了” Because of suffering hardships, knows that such day sad, by Jiang Susu that usually the food and clothing do not give up, without hesitation put three copper coins to get down. 因为受过苦,才知道那样的日子有多难过,是以平时吃穿都舍不得的江素素,才毫不犹豫的重新放了三个铜板下去。 Yun Xi follows the example, very much does not abandon pulls out few copper plank roads from the purse: „Mother, I also puts one to get down” 云夕有样学样,很不舍的从荷包里掏出为数不多的一个铜板道:“娘,那我也放一个下去” „That does not use actually, small evening, let me tell you, person, when that type having no way out, actually money were many instead harmed them, three copper coins enough”, Jiang Susu prevented her to say. “那倒是不用,小夕呀,我跟你说,人在那种走投无路的时候,其实钱多了反而是害了他们,三个铜板就够了呢”,江素素阻止了她说道。 Yun Xi also no longer insisted, but in the small mind, actually planted a seed quietly...... 云夕也不再坚持,但小小的心灵里面,却是悄无声息的种下了一颗种子…… Delays slightly, they continue to start. 稍微耽搁,他们继续启程。 The chain bridge blows down in the wind sways gently, is seemingly thrilling, in fact is very solid, was shocking but not dangerous to pass. 铁索桥在风吹下轻轻摇晃,看上去惊险,实际上还是很结实的,有惊无险度过。 After re-entering the carriage, but also a little weak Yunshan has not comforted Jiang Susu anything, but has been gripping tightly her hand, silent gives her a dependence, told her with such way, now she no longer is one drifts about destitute to be in a precarious state the lonely helpless person, she had the family/home, had the husband, had the child, the average man had, she had...... 重回马车后,还有点虚弱的云山并未安慰江素素什么,只是一直都紧紧握着她的手,无声的给她一个依靠,用这样的方式告诉她,如今她已经不再是一个颠沛流离朝不保夕孤独无助的人了,她有家,有丈夫,有孩子,常人有的,她都有…… Crossed the chain bridge, turns around two mountain tops, the front road became smooth. 过了铁索桥,拐过两个山头,前方的路就变得平坦了起来。 After proceeding again several li (0.5 km), Yun Jing they saw the roadside has a tea stall, a bamboo stick is supporting on the obsolete cotton-cloth sail writes eight li (0.5 km) pavilion tea stall. 再往前几里后,云景他们看到了路边有一个茶摊,一根竹棍撑着的陈旧布帆上写着八里亭茶摊。 Jiang Susu lifted the carriage car(riage) curtain to size up along the way, seems to be seeking for once recollection, saw the tea stall, she said: „Initially I left here did not have the tea stall, more than ten years pass by, those words called anything to come, Little Jing has said that right, called the people are no longer the same......” 江素素掀开马车车帘打量着沿途,似乎在寻找曾经的回忆,看到茶摊,她说:“当初我离开的时候这里还没有茶摊呢,十多年过去,那句话叫什么来着,小景说过的,对了,叫物是人非……” Tea stall not far away has wind and rain to corrode the serious alcove, has the passer-by to enjoy the cool air to have a rest there, in the tea stall several people are also having a rest to drink tea. 茶摊不远处有一座风雨侵蚀严重的亭子,有路人在那里纳凉歇脚,茶摊里也有几个人在歇脚喝茶。 Eight li (0.5 km) pavilion, makes clear is proceeding from here, walks eight li (0.5 km) again, can arrive at Fengyang District district city. 八里亭,昭示着从这里往前,再走八里,就能到达凤阳县县城了。 Liu Dazhuang proposed: „Young master, now the weather also early, we must drink a cup of cold tea to have a rest there, rushes to district city again? After all today goes to the Xiaolin Village time again without enough time, must prepare something, under inquired the situation in Xiaolin Village while convenient” 刘大壮提议道:“少爷,现在天色还早,我们要不要在那里喝杯凉茶歇歇脚,再一口气赶到县城？毕竟今天再去小林村时间来不及了,也得准备些东西,顺便打听下小林村的情况” After having solicited parents' suggestions, Yun Jing agreed to his proposition. 征求过父母的意见后,云景同意了他的提议。 Was this time is less suitable to hurry along, so as to avoid the mood fluctuation of mother was too big, slowly walked, making her reclaim the initial memory slowly, slowly the adaptation went out for more than ten years later the mood of going home. 越是这个时候越不适合赶路,免得母亲的情绪波动太大,慢慢走,让她慢慢找回当初的记忆,慢慢适应外出十多年后回家的心情。 The near nostalgia timid road paces back and forth, this roads of more than 500 li (0.5 km) going home, Jiang Susu ‚walked’ the entire 13 years! 近乡情怯路徘徊,这五百多里的回家之路,江素素‘走了’整整十三年！ Yun Jing Their group arrives at the tea stall, could be the super client, the shop owner is greeting warmly. 云景他们一行来到茶摊,算得上是大客户了,店家热情的招呼着。 What operation tea stall is one old one few, old 50-60 years old, small 7 or 8-year-old, they are not the outstandingly able person different matter, the pure nearby others, while the intense summer heat slack farming season, coming the selling point cold tea to make some laborious money subsidies home. 经营茶摊的是一老一少,老的50-60岁,小的只有七八岁,他们也不是什么奇人异事,单纯的附近人家,趁着酷暑农闲,来卖点凉茶挣些辛苦钱补贴家用。 Yun Jing they wanted several pot cold tea, several plates of melon seeds, are drinking the tea, listening to Jiang Susu to recall to tell her once bitter experience. 云景他们要了几壶凉茶,几碟瓜子,喝着茶水,听江素素回忆讲述她曾经的遭遇。 Let alone, the cold tea sincerity of this tea stall is good, although is not the good thing, but wins in cool solution Shu, is tastier than Dorje of Yun Jing previous generation, moreover is inexpensive, pot tea also 45 copper coins. 别说,这家茶摊的凉茶真心不错,虽然不是什么好东西,但胜在清凉解暑,比云景前世的加多吉还好喝,而且还不贵,一壶茶也才四五个铜板。 The tea stall boss, that uncle listens to Yun Jing they are the outside voice, with casting aside the Mandarin/bureaucratic language of foot asked one: „, but people from other place?” 茶摊老板,那个老伯听云景他们是外地口音,操着撇脚的官话问了一句:“诸位可是外地人？” „Uncle good vision, to know what advice?” Yun Jing then said with a smile. “老伯好眼光,不知有何指教？”云景回头笑道。 The uncle hurries to beckon with the hand saying: „My where has what vision, your voice one hear is not a local area, the young master spoke discreetly, advises is not at all, has a matter I to think it is necessary to remind your, not clear situation that your outside area comes, in order to avoid annoying troubles, as for listening to that was your matter, do not blame me to talk too much is good” 老伯赶紧摆手道:“我哪儿有什么眼光啊,你们口音一听就不是本地的,公子言重了,指教不敢当,就是有个事情我觉得有必要提醒你们一下,你们外地来的不清楚情况,以免惹上麻烦,至于听不听那就是你们的事情了,别怪我多嘴才好” „Many thanks the uncle good intention, what matter does not know is, but said might as well”, Yun Jing submissively courteous restrained say/way. “多谢老伯好意,不知是何事,但说无妨”,云景拱手有礼有节道。 As without many people are so polite to him, the uncle is somewhat helpless, said simply directly: „Is this, dares to ask the young master to know, north Fengyang District is not peaceful, your outside area, is all right to should better not to go to that side, in order to avoid...... yeah, in order to avoid lost the life, is not I takes advantage of own seniority to damage Fengyang District domestic public security is not good, is that side is not always really peaceful, particularly recently the royal government goes to war, that side is less peaceful” 似乎没多少人对他如此客气的,老伯有些手足无措,干脆直接道:“是这样的,敢叫公子知晓,凤阳县北面可不太平,你们外地来的,没事儿最好不要去那边,以免……哎,以免丢了性命,不是我倚老卖老损凤阳县境内的治安不好啊,实在是那边一直以来都不太平,尤其是近来朝廷打仗,那边就更不太平了” Hears here, the Yun Jing eyebrow selects, he did not remember incorrectly, mother Xiaolin Village, north Fengyang District. 听到这里,云景眉毛一挑,他没记错,母亲老家小林村,就在凤阳县北面。 At this time it is necessary the understanding is clear, he pursues asks: „Uncle, does not know whether to say again specifically?” 此时有必要了解清楚,他追问道:“老伯,不知能否说得再具体点？” „Had anything unable saying that the people of Fengyang District boundary were clear that side situation, how can I say, this matter must more than ten years ago mentioned, 15-16 years ago, does not know that a where share of wicked bandit fled in all directions the Fengyang District boundary, their vicious cruel conduct was ruthless, just came for several years, plundered to stop at no evil, encounters the government authorities to encircle, but the people of government authorities instead were killed much by them had not succeeded, the encircled matter angered them, their also slaughter two villages gave vent to indignation the demonstration, in the past, yeah, that called miserable, the people in two villages. Killed off, until now no one dares to go......, afterward the government authorities organized to encircle one after several other times, flies back without any results as before, is to make that help/gang wicked bandit gradually expand on the contrary, by the present, more than ten years passed, that help/gang wicked bandit occupies the vertical mountain top to tie the stronghold to occupy, is known as 2000 soldiers, solemn territory overlord, the government authorities takes them not to have the means that therefore, you should better not to go to that side, if ran into them to trouble”, uncle tone complex say/way. “有什么不能说的,凤阳县地界的人都清楚那边的情况,怎么说呢,这事儿还得从十多年前说起呢,15-16年前吧,不知何处一股恶匪流窜到了凤阳县地界,他们凶狠残暴行事狠辣,刚来几年,打家劫舍无恶不作,遭到了官府围剿,但官府的人反而被他们杀了不少并未成功,围剿的事情惹怒了他们,他们还屠了两个村子泄愤示威呢,当年啊,哎,那叫一个惨,两个村子的人都被杀光了,至今都没人敢去……,后来官府又陆陆续续组织了几次围剿,都依旧无功而返,反倒是让那帮恶匪逐渐壮大,到了如今,十多年过去,那帮恶匪占立山头结寨而居,号称两千儿郎,俨然一方土霸王,官府都拿他们没办法,所以啊,你们最好不要去那边,若是遇到他们就麻烦了”,老伯语气复杂道。 Is listening to uncle's words stubbornly, Jiang Susu is holding the hand of Yunshan, the complexion slightly white, unsurprisingly, Xiaolin Village by the slaughter, should be initially that help/gang wicked bandit does, the reason to demonstrate to the government authorities unexpectedly, so many innocent people, became under the blade the ghost. 听着老伯的话,江素素死死的拽着云山的手,脸色微白,不出意外,当初小林村被屠,应该就是那帮恶匪干的了,原因居然是为了向官府示威,那么多无辜之人,就成了刀下亡魂。 It is estimated that thinks initially the fearful memory, the Jiang Susu body a little trembled. 估计是想到了当初可怕的记忆,江素素身躯有点发抖。 Yun Jing listens to listen, the brow actually wrinkled gradually, asked: „Uncle, since that help/gang wicked bandit is so cruel, whatever the government authorities they do do like this? Even if the district administration aspect bandits suppression ineffectively, in the county, in the state can't visit them to get off scot-free?” 云景听着听着,眉头却是渐渐皱了起来,问:“老伯,既然那帮恶匪如此残暴,官府就任由他们这样搞下去？就算县衙方面剿匪不力,郡里面,州里面总不能看着他们逍遥法外吧？” „Where that can, the government authorities have the achievement, these years Fengyang District district magistrate traded about ten, because each district magistrate does not handle that group of wicked bandits, the accent that censured censuring adjusts, on several times also once left encircles with large army, but that help/gang wicked bandit was too sly, moreover there is what a fierce expert, several large armies encircle fly back without any results, gradually that place made the power and prestige actually, going to turn to the person to be innumerable, this had the present scale, a few years ago also had the person saying that this matter alarmed the Capital City that side, originally Capital City will have the person to tidy up. Their, the border pass war got up finally, above could not attend to this small matter, then became present such, north Fengyang District, almost became the domain of that group of gangsters, the government authorities do not dare to go to manages”, the uncle shook the head, helpless said. “那哪儿能呢,官府也不是没有作为的,这些年来凤阳县县令都换了近十个呢,就因为每个县令都搞不定那伙恶匪,贬的贬调的调,有几次上头也曾出重兵围剿,但那帮恶匪太狡猾了,而且有什么厉害的高手,几次重兵围剿都无功而返,久而久之那个地方倒是打出了威风,前去投靠之人无数,这才有了如今的规模,前些年还有人说,这事儿惊动了京城那边,本来京城会有人来收拾他们的,结果边关战事起了,上头也就顾不了这点小事儿了,然后就成了如今这样的局面,凤阳县以北,几乎成了那帮匪徒的地盘,官府都不敢去管”,老伯摇头无奈道。 Listened to uncle's these words, the Yun Jing heart to say troubled, had that help/gang wicked bandit to occupy north Fengyang District, wants to lead mother to return to Xiaolin Village, must need further consideration is good. 听了老伯的这番话,云景心说麻烦了,有那帮恶匪占据凤阳县以北,想带母亲回小林村,恐怕得从长计议才行。 Saw that Xiaolin Village was close, unexpectedly was such situation, the Yun Jing heart is very depressed. 眼看小林村就近在咫尺了啊,居然是这么个情况,云景心头别提多郁闷了。 On the other hand, that side gangster, if is really more than ten years ago the slaughter that group of people in Xiaolin Village, said the Yun Jing personal enemy strictly, because mother they are homeless, oneself grandfather grandmother also died a tragic death under their blade, oneself two uncle paternal aunts did not have at that time! 话说回来,那边匪徒如果真是十多年前屠了小林村的那伙人,严格的说起来还是云景的仇人呢,母亲因为他们无家可归,自己外公外婆也惨死他们刀下,还有自己的两个舅舅一个姑姑也是当时没的！ This matter must equal, then Yun Jing thinks to ask: „Uncle, does not know that you have heard, does Fengyang District within the boundaries have a woman named Jiang Xiaoxi?” 这事儿还得合计合计,然后云景想了想问:“老伯,不知你听没听说过,凤阳县境内有一个叫江小惜的女侠？” ...... ……
