Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Where to go?Qingping hugged the book bag in her arms tightly in doubt. Chen Jun was driving the horse very fast today. She could only hear the wind whistling in her ears, and the person who was blowing could not open her eyes. Suddenly, she saw that the surrounding stone walls disappeared. Out of the alley.

The horse ran along the Qingshiban road, and came to the foot of a mountain. Qingping looked up, but the lush trees covered his sight, and he couldn't see anything.Chen Jun looked around, wondering, "I remember it was here, why is it gone?"

She drove the horse for a while, and finally found a small road in the overgrown weeds, and galloped along this road, Qingping only saw a road of weeds that was too long in her arms, and the horse suddenly jumped forward , a flat land appeared in front of her eyes.

Chen Jun got off her horse, tied the rope to a tree, and led Qingping forward naturally. There was a tower built on the top of the mountain. There are eaves on each floor.The tower is not high, and there are obvious scorched black marks left by the fire on the first floor of the tower. If you look carefully, there are damages everywhere. Chen Jun walked and said: "About 300 years ago, the Xirong Qianhui tribe invaded from Yunzhou , went all the way to Hezhou, and was about to go straight to Hengzhou and break through the imperial capital Chang'an. Wu Changyun, who was the state shepherd of Hezhou at the time, led the remnant soldiers to fight, but he was alone and alone, and was besieged on Mingxia Mountain."

They entered through the back door and looked up. The long staircase was in a spiral shape. Qingping rolled up his sleeves and followed Chen Jun to climb up. He heard Chen Jun say: "At that time, the south of Fulongling in Hezhou was the residence of aristocratic families. All the strength of the family was sent to support Wu Changyun, but Qianhui's main force was held back. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the situation of the battle suddenly reversed. Yunzhou attacked the rear of the frontier army, and Qianhui's main force was on the front line. He never expected that the royal court in the rear was breached, so he had to withdraw his troops to help. Before leaving, he slaughtered the Lingnan clan, so that only five of the 23 clans remained, and Lingnan's momentum was also great. It’s not as good as before, although the imperial court gave many pensions and awards after the war, but the dead have passed away..."

"Wu Changyun, the state shepherd of Hezhou, repaired the pagoda, but he did not allow the craftsmen to replace the brick wall that was burned out of the pagoda. It turned out that when they were besieged on Mingxia Mountain, General Qianhui set fire to the mountain, trying to burn them to death on this mountain. When the mountain fire burned the pagoda, it suddenly rained, and the fire was extinguished by a heavy rain, and the officials were able to save their lives. Wu Changyun renamed the pagoda Le'an, and the city was also changed to Le'an City. Later it was designated as the main city of Hezhou."

They walked on the dimly lit stairs. Chen Jun slowly told the story in a flat voice. The past 300 years ago came back. Their resolute faces may not be recorded in the annals of history, but the scene of that day, as if it had transcended the constraints of time and space, resurfaced in this dilapidated tower.

"It's here." Chen Jun grabbed Qingping and brought her to a place with bright light. Qingping just came out of the dark place and felt uncomfortable. He blocked the light with his hands and felt the wind blowing his hair. , she slowly opened her eyes.

In the eyes is a thin cloud, faintly drifting over Le'an City, birds passing under the clouds, Qingping finally saw the appearance of this city.Everything has shrunk, and the city in front of her is well-planned and well-organized. Markets, residential areas, and study halls, these places she is familiar with originally only occupied a small area of ​​Le'an, and a long river is like a brocade belt. Passing through the whole city, the river sparkles beautifully.

This city that has been baptized by war has now returned to life, and it does not look like it has been destroyed at all. It is almost dusk at this time, and the orange sun shines through the clouds, just like every day in the past, gently enveloped the music. Ancheng.This magnificent scene hit Qingping's heart in an instant, and she was full of emotions for a while, and there were many words eager to spit out in her chest, but she seemed to be unable to say anything.

On the edge of Le'an City, rolling hills can be seen faintly, covered by a mist. Chen Jun said: "After crossing Fulongling, you will be in the south of Lingnan. Because of the existence of Fulongling, Hezhou is divided into Lingnan and North Ling. Most of them are Lingnan people, and they were formed by respected scholars to revive Lingnan after the Great War."

Chen Jun leaned on the railing and said with a smile: "In the past, if something went wrong, I would come here to look at Le'an from a distance. No matter how big the trouble is, it will be swept away by the clouds in the sky. The wind blows away."

Qingping was stunned for a moment when he heard her say this, and suddenly felt a little at a loss, but Chen Jun looked further away, facing the wind, and his robe was blowing, she said: "My daughter's family should be open-minded and open-minded. There is a world. If you are limited to yourself, it is like being blindfolded, and you can only see what you want to see. You need to stand on your feet, taste the hardships of the world, and then find what you want in the book."

She stopped laughing, her black eyes had a faint golden glow under the setting sun, and she said solemnly: "Li Qingping, what exactly do you want?"

Qingping was dumb, she seemed to understand why Chen Jun brought her here, under her gaze, Qingping felt that she could no longer say any deceitful words, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Probably thinking, look at this The world, what is it like?"

She looked down, trying to engrave this scene in her mind.The setting sun melts gold, silently covering the body of the pagoda, time seems to be frozen at this moment, the Jin Duo hanging on the eaves of the pagoda shakes in the wind, ethereal and ethereal, the memories of the past life seem to be slowly fading away, and everything in this world, But it gradually became clear in her heart.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, only the chirping of crickets outside the window was heard, Qingping tossed and turned on the bed thinking, what exactly does she want?

I'm afraid she can't give an answer herself. At first, when she was in the palace, she hoped to save money early to redeem herself; then when she entered the study, she hoped to see all over the country; now she has been studying in Le'an for several months , I feel that I want more and more, people's hearts are not satisfied, and they always want better things.

Qingping didn't know what she could do, she read mediocre books, and knew so little about the world, but today Chen Jun took her to see Le'an City, and brought a feeling of saying no to her. out of shock.

Although the human resources are limited, they are endless. Generation after generation have been reproduced on this land, a magnificent capital city has been built, a country has been established, and achievements have been made for hundreds or even thousands of generations, and then they were overthrown and started again. The invisible hand constantly promotes the rise and fall.

She suddenly felt that she was so insignificant, looking up at all this grandeur with the attitude of an outsider in the torrent of history with awe, she returned to ignorance and ignorance, and blended into this brand new world in the gentle embrace of her dream. world.

The next morning it was clear, the sky was bright and the air was clear, the wind was smooth, and a few white clouds floated lazily across the sky above the courtyard.It was another sunny day, and the sun gradually felt burning on her body. She moved a stool and sat in the shade of a tree in the backyard to read. There was a puffing sound, but when he saw a person, he immediately lowered his head to eat grass quietly, and did not dare to lift his eyes.

"It seems to be enlightened." Liu Zhen stood beside Chen Jun and said softly, "Qingping's reading is getting better and better."

Chen Jun casually added some fodder to the dark horse, and said, "Association with smart people is the only benefit, just go to the end."

Liu Zhen nodded and followed Chen Jun into the room. She was about to close the door, but Chen Jun stopped her and said, "No, just open it."

Liu Zhen hesitated and said, "Miss is not afraid..."

"You mean Qingping?" Chen Jun sat at the table and poured a cup of tea for herself, "She understands everything at once, you only need to move a little, and this child knows what he should listen to and what he shouldn't listen to. "

"Besides, I have worked so hard to keep her by my side. Qingping is not as simple as you think, do you think she is really an ignorant child?" Chen Jun took a sip of tea, "Someone is born early Hui, who is well versed in the principles of the world and human relationships, but such people are often reduced to the kind of people who seek profit, and without the guidance of a teacher, there are countless people who go astray. On the other hand, Qingping, although she is clever and clever, she knows how to hide. Not picky; Shizuka has conflicts with her, and she knows how to bear with it...but in fact, it's nothing."

Chen Jun put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "Liu Zhen, you are also very smart. If you were Qingping, and the study room flooded that day, would you go to save Shizuka?"

Liu Zhen thought for a while, and said honestly, "I'm afraid I won't save her. I'm afraid I won't be able to risk my life for someone I haven't known for long."

"That's right. Everyone thinks so much about their own lives. Doesn't Li Qingping know? She is not stupid, but she took such a big risk for Shizuka, almost losing herself, what is she trying to do? "Chen Jun rubbed her knuckles with great interest and said: "You and I can see her along the way. In receiving people and dealing with things, she neither flatters her superiors nor disdains her inferiors. In her heart, I am afraid that there is no distinction between master and servant; in her eyes, there is probably no difference between you and me. Who is the fire that day? Among them, I am afraid that she will go to save her, Liu Zhen, do you understand?"

Liu Zhendao: "Miss is saying that she has a heart of benevolence and treats everyone equally?"

Chen Junzheng pulled out the long sword with a bang, and took a piece of flannelette to wipe it back and forth. She put the long sword in the morning light. This heart is not in vain, everything I have done today."

Liu Zhen thought for a moment, and said: "I think Qingping is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. Miss puts her heart into it, so she knows it all."

Chen Jun smiled lightly when she heard the words: "Liu Zhen, what you said is true. Qingping is indeed very kind, but I don't want her to repay her. I want her to know etiquette and righteousness. I want her to know what is the most important. I want her to be willing... "

Sheathed the long sword in her hand, rolled up the dust in the air, turned into golden spots in the sunlight, and then fell one after another.

"For my use."

"Yu Jun!" Wu Ying's voice sounded outside the door, Qingping put down his book and ran to the front yard to open the door.

Chen Jun has already opened the door, Wu Ying first saluted her when she entered the door, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Sister Yu is good, can Yu Jun come to my house for dinner? I have already asked my father, and he agreed."

Qingping leaned out half of her body behind them, raised her head and met Chen Jun's gaze, Chen Jun smiled and said, "Of course it's fine, but I'm just going to disturb the family master."

"No, no, no!" Wu Ying waved her hand, her eyes sparkled, and said happily, "Then...can you rest at my house for a night?"

Chen Jun frowned, looked at Qingping, and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Qingping nodded, Chen Jun frowned, and said: "Then go, be careful on the road."

Thinking that the road to Wu's house was too far away, he led the pony out and said to Qingping: "Do you dare to ride a horse? If you dare, ride it."

The pony was pulled out ignorantly, not knowing what happened, Qingping took the lead rope, turned on the horse, Chen Jun helped Wu Ying up, Wu Ying smiled very happily, her two dimples were deep and sweet .

Following Chen Jun's example, Qingping pinched the horse's belly and shouted: "Drive."

The horse didn't move at all, just stood there, as if it didn't understand what happened.

What are you doing, Qingping is in a big embarrassment, will the horse still turn off?She didn't believe in evil, and scolded a few more times, but the pony still didn't move.

Chen Jun was about to laugh out loud, and Wu Ying, seeing Qingping's embarrassment, suggested in a low voice, "Why don't we walk, and walking is the same."

Qingping shook his head resolutely. Today we are going to have a fight with this horse. Chen Jun smiled and wrapped Qingping's hand around, and taught her to hold the lead rope, put her feet into the pedals, and whispered in her ear: "Come again! Once, it's fine."

Qingping had no choice but to shout again: "Drive!"

Chen Jun took the opportunity to pat the horse's buttocks hard, and the pony walked out of the courtyard with great reluctance.

Wu Ying said loudly: "Goodbye, Sister Yu! I will send Yu Jun back tomorrow!"

Chen Jun waved behind them, turned around and entered the yard, recalling the scene of Qingping riding a horse just now, and felt extremely ridiculous.Leaning against the door and laughing without image, he fell all the way and rushed into the room.

Liu Zhen was drying the quilt in the backyard just now, and she didn't understand what happened. Qingping had already left when she heard the movement, and only heard Chen Jun's loud laughter, which startled the sparrows on the courtyard wall.

It was Qingping's first time riding a horse. Although he was not the kind of high-headed horse, he still didn't dare to relax and carefully controlled the rhythm.

This pony is very adventurous, Qingping told it to go east, it would go west, and if it was asked to go south, it would go north.

It took a lot of time to get to Wu Ying's house, but Wu Ying was very happy along the way. She didn't dislike the slow speed of the horse. She talked and laughed with Qingping and walked back slowly.

Wu Ying's home is in Dongcheng, and the trees along the way are verdant, covering the sun, and it's not too hot. It's just that the two children ride a horse together, and they are close together, so they inevitably sweat.

Qingping was dizzy from being knocked, and dismounted in front of Wu's house, the door opened a small crack, and a young man dressed as a servant came out, seeing Qingping leading the horse, he was slightly surprised.

Behind him is a man in a light green long coat, with a bun and an elegant silver hairpin. He doesn't wear earrings, but he looks very elegant. His appearance is somewhat similar to Wu Ying.Qing Ping saluted him, and he said, "Is that Yu Jun? Please come in."

A servant came to lead the horse away, and Qingping stepped into the courtyard, only to realize that Wu Ying's house is very big, probably bought the surrounding courtyards and connected them together.

A sycamore tree was planted in the courtyard with luxuriant branches and leaves.On both sides of the yard, some flowers and plants were planted, and they were all kept in an orderly manner. The servants who came and went kept their heads down and kept silent. Wu Ying's father made a gesture of invitation, signaling Qingping to come in.

This is Qingping's first visit to other people's house as a guest. She dare not look around, and follows Wu Ying respectfully. There is a screen painted with lotus flowers in the main hall, and a table is placed in front of the screen, which is already set up. For the meal, Wu Ying's father took the seat of honor and ordered the servants: "You all go back and wait outside."

The servants responded in unison, and stepped back. Wu Ying's father smiled and said, "Since you are classmates with Wu Ying, I'm afraid that you will have to take care of her more on weekdays. This child is stubborn, so I hope you will take care of her."

After talking about replacing wine with tea, he wanted to offer a toast to Qingping. Qingping didn't dare to accept it, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle, you are welcome, Wu Ying took care of me in the study hall, and I didn't do anything. How can I accept this cup of tea from you?" He also respected Wu Ying's father, Wu Ying's father smiled and said: "There is no need to be so polite, Yu Jun, Wu Ying will tell me something every month when I come back. Regarding your affairs, she doesn't have any friends in the school, and this day when she returned home after taking a rest, she frequently mentioned you to me. Since you are friends and close friends, there is no need to be polite, let's eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few servants came out from the screen to scoop up soup. Qingping felt that the way of eating was not like a small family at all, and suddenly remembered that Wu Ying's father was the son of the Wu family in Le'an. Seeing that he acted really well He has everyone's demeanor, and Wu Ying is very similar to him when he thinks about it carefully, and he is meticulous and thoughtful in doing things.

Wu Ying's father stepped back from the table without a word, and said: "I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable here, and it's rare to take a rest, so let's talk more now."

He left with a group of servants. Seeing him walking away, Wu Ying twitched at Qingping and said helplessly, "My father is like this. Don't worry about what he says."

Qing Ping felt nothing, and said: "Uncle didn't say anything, don't worry too much."

Wu Ying observed Qingping carefully, and after confirming that she was really not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's eat quickly, and let's go out to play after we're done."

After the two finished their meal, Wu Ying went to change her clothes and took Qingping out. Wu Ying's father originally wanted to arrange a carriage for them and find a few servants to accompany them, but Wu Ying refused.Qingping found that she didn't like her father's behavior very much, Wu Ying took Qingping out of the house in a hurry, Qingping followed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wu Ying smiled and said, "Go to the street, have you ever been to the street market on the east side of the city?"
