Qin Chu Yuhuang

There is a vast plain under the mountains, and a huge convoy is hidden by lush trees.Tian Luli and Jiang Jitang followed the crowd up the mountain to avoid, and took the opportunity to take a closer look at the porch.

Chu's chariots are indeed inlaid with gold and jade, and the hubs are wrongly balanced, but the four women are unevenly fat and weak.The wind blows the curtains, and one can vaguely see that although the interior furnishings are exquisite, they always reveal a very old air.A burst of dust suddenly rose in the distance, and gradually heard the ringing of luan bells, and watched the clouds and flags flying in the distance.

Qin Ying came back.

The Qin State lived in Xiba, or because it often dealt with Rong and Di, or because it was granted the feudal title because it was good at raising horses, Qin Ying's fleet was neat and tidy, fat and strong.When the two convoys met at the border of Qin and Chu, Qin Ying commanded the chariots to stop.Hundreds of vehicles separated like flowing water, and a car slowly moved forward. Behind the curtains, a dignified beauty could be seen faintly opening her lips, negotiating with Chu people in a leisurely manner.

After a long time, the two convoys merged into one and headed towards Yingdu.

Tian Luli and Jiang Jitang just came down from the mountain.After crossing the border and no longer being bound by the state of Qin, Tian Luli said in a low voice, "The visitor is not kind."

Jiang Jitang teased: "It's not good to say such things to a Qin person?"

Tian Luli glared at him: "Don't forget that although you have the surname Ying, you are a descendant of the Jiang Kingdom, and you are not considered a serious Qin person."

Jiang Jitang laughed loudly: "Ziheng, in this way, you have the surname of GUI, aren't you a decent Chu person?"

Tian Luli glared at him fiercely, and then sighed helplessly: "Chu rebelled and united, and then Qi became the leader. Back then, the Three Kingdoms attacked Chu under the banner of maintaining unity. Chu asked Qin for help, and Qin sent troops to reinforce it first." In the next year, he and the Three Kingdoms declared war against Chu. A few years later, Qin pretended to form an alliance with Wuguan and deceived King Huai. The impermanent country of tigers and wolves has to be guarded against. Qin Ying is beautiful and scheming, and now he will always be by your side, I am afraid that the clouds will cover the sun, and the pearl will be covered with dust."

Jiang Jitang watched the convoy go away, looking at the decadent air that could not be concealed by the complicated and gorgeous decorations, he suddenly thought that this country could no longer stand the big troubles.

After several months of trekking, the two abandoned their car and took a boat across Yingdu to Dongting to enter Yuanxiang. After traveling thousands of miles, they finally arrived at Dongting County in Southern Chu.Different from the high mountains and deep valleys along the way, the view suddenly widens after the boat enters Dongting.In the distance are endless fields and water marshes, and the early sunset in the southern country stretches out in the marshes and forms a double picture scroll with the sky.Jiang Jitang was at the bow of the boat holding a laurel spear to push away the clouds and clouds all over the river, and suddenly felt that the light and cloud shadows seemed to be climbing onto the boat along the oars.Tian Luli pushed open the wooden window and saw the stars slanting from the glowing sky.At this time, he lit a lamp, which dyed the small cabin into a dim yellow color.

Jiang Jitang had tied the boat to the bank of the river, and when he stepped into the cabin, he saw Tian Luli sitting upright and meditating under the lamp, with a gentle smile on his lips.Jiang Jitang was sitting on the table, and said with a smile, "Ziheng, the boat has passed Dongting, and the hometown can be expected."

The night wind was still a bit chilly, but Tian Luli was still reluctant to close the window.He seemed to say inadvertently: "When I was young, I often visited Dongting with my elder brother. The lakes and mountains are beautiful, and guests can only enjoy the morning and evening scenery, but I can enjoy the glory of the stars and the moon all by myself." Jiang Jitang followed him to Looking out of the window, I can see the gurgling clear water flowing slowly to the north, the stars and the bright moon are undulating with the water waves, the river water is so clear, it looks like a newly made copper mirror, and it looks like a silk cloth full of fine patterns on the land of Chu.Tian Luli got up and went to the bow of the boat, Jiang Jitang followed closely, and saw the wind blowing Tian Luli's clothes fluttering, the water and the sky were irrelevant, the boat was moored among the stars and the moon, like the most magnificent dream in the world .

"Zi Nan?" Tian Luli smiled.

Jiang Jitang just woke up, and hurried forward to stand side by side with Tian Luli.Tian Luli pointed to the sky and counted the stars to him, and occasionally talked about the division or some strange stories about Southern Chu.The green mountains are far away, and the birds are returning to their nests. It seems that there is only this boat and the two people in the boat in the world.

A few days later, Tian Luli returned to his hometown.Leaving home when he was young, and having not heard from him for a long time, thinking that the news of his brother's death still came from the villagers, Tian Luli couldn't help feeling a little more deeply worried.Jiang Jitang followed him through the Zhou Xingmo, seeing thousands of hectares of fertile fields now overgrown with grass, his heart gradually sank.

When he reached the village, Tian Luli's footsteps became slower and slower. He looked up blankly, as if he wanted to match the decaying village in front of him with the paradise in his memory.He walked around several houses, stopped and stopped, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched hut.

The fence is broken, the chai gate is leaking, and the thatch is only a thin layer.He pushed open the door, the rope hinges had been frayed, the utensils were piled up scatteredly on the ground, there were still traces of last winter's suffocation on the wall, and the man was no longer seen.

Tian Luli shed tears silently.He lay sideways on the mat where he slept peacefully at night, as if he could go back to the past.

Jiang Jitang sat next to him, looked at him silently, and then held his hand tightly, as if to give him endless comfort.

A quarter of an hour later, Tian Luli got up from the table.The villagers helped him bury his elder brother, and he hadn't returned to his hometown for many years, so he had to come to thank him one by one.Jiang Jitang followed him to the grave to pay homage to his elder brother, and then visited them one by one in the village.The villagers are simple, and at first they couldn't help comforting them, but when they received the gift Tian Luli brought from Qin, they refused in every possible way, and only accepted after the two insisted on asking.In the evening, the villagers invited the two of them to eat at home. They were all common rice and fish turtles, but they also took a lot of thought.Everyone smiled at the table and told Jiang Jitang the interesting stories of Tian Luli's childhood, as if time had never passed, and they were still staying in the prosperous and peaceful Huai Wang Dynasty.

At night, the two rested in the dilapidated hut.Tian Luli lay on the mat and looked at the starry sky among the loose thatch, and said to Jiang Jitang: "The folks all watched me grow up."

Jiang Jitang turned to look at him: "Chu land is indeed simple and honest."

"Sorrow for the peace and happiness of the state, and sorrow for the legacy of Jiang Jie. Qu Zi's "Sorrow" really expresses everything I think in my heart."

Jiang Jitang felt more and more sad when he thought of the desolate scene he saw and the warm hospitality of the villagers despite the hardship.

"I have no relatives or reasons, and I have very little money left. Zinan, after a few days of rest in the countryside, we will leave for Yingdu. You came to Chu to study art, so I trouble you to accompany me to Nanchu for so many days." I am very grateful. Now that the matter has been settled, I shouldn't delay your trip any longer." Tian Luli turned to look at Jiang Jitang and said.

"What are you talking about! It's my honor to travel to Southern Chu with you, and to meet the simple villagers in your hometown. You should rest well in the village, and we will go to Yingdu again some day."

The stars and the moon were heavy in Southern Chu, and the two fell asleep under the cool wind.
