Zhuo County, Youzhou, post house.

In the early morning, the sun shone on the whole room as warm and silky as silk, the room was not luxurious, but it was very elegant, with the ebony floor, the silk roof and the coarse paper window, and on one side of the wall hung a white gold bow with a body of white gold and a string of leopard tendons, which could shoot a hundred and fifty paces away.

On the second day of arriving in Zhuo County, early in the morning, Liu Lan put on a pair of shoes on the edge of the couch, the square head was a little higher, and then put on a robe and began to wash, washing was in a copper basin filled with water, and the gargle was filled with water in the wooden scoop, but the water was green salt water, and there was a willow branch next to it, which looked disgusting for descaling, but for oral hygiene, it was impossible to bite the bullet, especially when I thought of the treatment in front of the green salt mill in the grassland, there was a feeling of happiness to burst?

The so-called hall into the room, the place where the inner room sleeps is called the room, and the place where the outer room is now standing is called the hall, there are two top beams in the hall, both are good ebony, enough for three people to hug the thick, and the door is a Yue kiln production Aiji, the left and right sides of the lower hand position is also placed exactly the same Aiji, and then there is a thick kneeling pad.

This kind of good building is like the presidential suite of later generations, this treatment and enjoyment are like only provincial and ministerial high-ranking officials, if it is not for the Gongsun Yue stained, and the post house is not occupied, their treatment can only be to go to the shop more than a dozen people and twenty people crowded to sleep.

It's better to come early than to come coincidentally, Liu Lan went out of the hall, there was a meal arranged by Yi Cheng, that is, some porridge cakes or something, when eating, Yi Cheng said that Liu Bei had come early in the morning but Sima was still resting and did not bother, he said that the day after tomorrow was his uncle Yuan Qi's birthday, and he wanted to invite Sima to the banquet.

Liu Lan said that he had written it down, and then stood up rubbing his slightly swollen belly, he wanted to find a few people to accompany him to find Zhang Fei while he had nothing to do today, but after inquiring, he learned that these boys had all slipped out early in the morning, thinking that a bunch of leopards had entered the city, could this Zhuo County be better than Lu Long?

You must know that it is now the Han Dynasty, but it is not the late Qingming Dynasty that can still listen to dramas and listen to books, and if you can't do it, you can take a bath and listen to cross talk. With a burst of contempt for them in my heart, it seems that a strange man like himself who has seen a big scene wants to mix in such a boring era as the Han Dynasty, so he can only survive!

Liu Lan inquired about Yicheng before leaving the building, and then walked and stopped all the way according to Yicheng's instructions, looking for some kind aunts and uncles on the street to ask for the road, not to go to the central set or to go to the outside of the city, but to turn around in Zhuoxian County, all the way through the alley and cross the street to inquire and inquire again, and finally arrived at a lane close to the central set.

There is a big sycamore at the mouth of the alley, the old generation said that the phoenix perches on the sycamore, and there will be a big man in the sycamore alley, but more than a hundred years have passed, the sycamore tree is still flourishing, but the big man has never been out of one, from the moment he saw the sycamore tree, Liu Lan showed an intoxicating smile, not to ridicule the so-called sycamore alley must be a big man, but a lot of about' Liu Lan's memory appeared in his mind, he closed his eyes, Niuniu's stubborn appearance, his brother's innocent smile and his mother's kind face all appeared clearly in front of him at this moment, Liu Lan's eyes were sour, and then slowly entered the alley.

The quiet street and alley are facing the plane tree, you want to enter the alley from the left, you want to get out of the alley from the right, the rules have never changed since the sycamore was planted for a hundred years, Liu Lan entered the alley from the left, the quiet alley is wide and narrow enough to accommodate two chariots side by side, the doors and courtyards on both sides of the street are closed, it does not look like a rich family, and the sound of barking dogs is heard from the main entrance.

Coming to the middle of the alley, there is only one house here, opposite is a wide courtyard wall, there are five stone steps in front of the main entrance, the stone steps are covered with thick dust, the patent leather of the Zhumen has long been taken off, and the four corners are more fine cobwebs, but there are still two peach planks hanging on both sides of the Zhumen, and the graphics are no longer distinguishable, I don't know what is painted.

The eyeballs swayed from side to side with the two peach planks in the breeze like catkins, and the whole person seemed to fall into a long-term memory, thinking of Niuniu's stubborn appearance sitting on the stone steps on the day she left, Liu Lan squatted down in front of the stone steps, wiping the direction where Niuniu was sitting that day.

Every time I wipe it, it seems that Niuniu's happy smile will appear, but in the face of that innocent and bright smile, Liu Lan can't smile at all, his mood is complicated and low, and the sad taste makes his heart extremely heavy, and only by wiping it over and over again can this feeling of suffocation be relieved.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the distance, Liu Lan hurriedly stood up, took a deep breath and pretended to be a passerby and walked calmly towards the end of the alley, calmly and quietly, looking for a long time, just like the people who strayed into the alley, rubbing shoulders with the person in the distance, the body of the person walking forward was suddenly stunned, and then turned back, because the few wrinkles on his forehead were deeper because of excitement, and even his voice was a little excited: "That baby, has the old man seen you somewhere?" ”

"Grandpa recognized the wrong person!"

Liu Lan quickened his pace, but the old man suddenly heard who he was, but there was a trace of hesitation in his heart for fear of recognizing the wrong person, and he asked uncertainly, "You...... Are you the boss of the Liu family? ”

Liu Lan stopped suddenly, nodded, but didn't look back, and said, "Grandpa Sun, your old body is still so tough!" ”

"Old man, it's useless!" This Grandpa Sun made the old man recall many past events, but he didn't expect it to be this hard-working child, because of the excessive excitement Old Man Sun gasped very much, Liu Lan was hesitating whether to step forward but found that the old man's anger had been smoothed, only to hear him say: "Liu Jialang, you have been gone for five or six years, where have you been in the past few years?" How did you get here? I must have suffered a lot outside! ”

"I'm in the army!" The old man's questions made Liu Lan deeply feel his heartfelt concern, but the more the old man was like this, the more he didn't dare to face him, he didn't want to lie to him, and he didn't want to make the old man suspect or even guess that the real Liu Lan had passed away because he showed his flaws: "Grandpa Sun, I still have something to do, I have to leave first, and I will come to visit you another day!" ”

"Alas, the child is out of breath, hurry up and hurry up with your go!" The old man's eyes were flowering, looking at the back as if he saw the scene when the three of them were pestering themselves to play, but that accident made the old Liu family ruined, God, I scolded you for being blind at the time, but today I saw the baby and knew that you were not blind, you look, you look, the child has grown so tall and strong, and he has gone to join the army, he has a future, and he can glorify his ancestors for the old Liu family!

Liu Lan walked out of the alley with a heavy heart, and suddenly heard a hurried shout: "Sima, I can be regarded as finding you, something is wrong, go and take a look, Guan Yu is fighting with people in the market!" ”
