The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 235 "The Road to Shu is Difficult"

Hearing the voice of the man who claimed to be the butcher, Li Xinni looked at the other person and found that he was a stranger. Finally, he shook his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I have my own use for this wild boar, I'm afraid I can't sell it to you!"

"It's okay. If the girl has any ideas for selling, you can go...find me!"

The man not far away reported a location and then left.

At this time, the people around also knew that Li Xinni did not intend to sell the wild boar meat on the horse. Some people with ideas also left voluntarily, while the remaining people continued to watch the excitement.

As Li Xinni slowly entered the city, more and more people were shocked by Li Xinni, but Li Xinni kept a calm mind. On the way, many people also wanted to buy the wild boar that Li Xinni had shot, but they were all rejected by Li Xinni. .

After all, she had promised Butcher Zheng to sell him the prey she had hunted, and she could not break her promise and get rich.

After entering the city, it naturally caused some shock. Coupled with the fact that Li Xinni was a woman, more people began to wonder about Li Xinni's identity.

Naturally, Li Xinni wouldn't pay too much attention to this.

As Li Xinni returned to his place of residence, it caused a small sensation. People living around him were also very curious about his young and beautiful neighbor. Although they knew that Li Xinni was proficient in some martial arts, they did not expect that he could Take down such a huge boar.

This is simply more powerful than a burly man, how could it not shock them?

They stared at the huge wild boar on Tuxue's back in amazement. While marveling at the huge wild boar, they were also curious about how a white horse could carry such a huge wild boar.

While he was shocked by Li Xinni's martial arts skills, he was also shocked by Ta Xue who was pulling the wild boar.

"Miss Li, you..."

Before returning to his own yard at the end of the alley, the door to the yard next door happened to be opened, and he saw Butcher Zheng wearing an apron. From the open door, he could see that in the yard, a pig had been cramped, deboned, and slaughtered. .

But at this moment, Butcher Zheng looked at the wild boar on Texue's back with a shocked expression, and then looked at Li Xinni who was standing aside.

"Miss Li, you...can really hunt a wild boar?!"

Obviously, Butcher Zheng, who knew Li Xinni best, did not believe that Li Xinni could hunt a wild boar at first, and was inevitably shocked when he saw it at this moment.

"That's right!"

Li Xinni nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Didn't Brother Zheng say he intends to buy a wild boar? I wonder if Brother Zheng can take a liking to my wild boar?"

"Naturally, naturally can, naturally can afford it."

Butcher Zheng nodded quickly and looked at the wild boar on Texue's back. Then he couldn't help but look at it carefully and said in amazement: "This wild boar must be at least 400 kilograms. With this wild boar, I am afraid that in the next period of time I will There’s no shortage of wild boar meat either!”

"Please come in quickly! Please come in quickly!"

After reacting, Butcher Zheng quickly opened the door to the yard. At the same time, another woman walked out of the yard. It was Butcher Zheng's wife, Mrs. Zhang.

After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, he was shocked and said:

"Hey! Miss Li can actually hunt a wild boar. Seriously..."

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a long time, but she was just an ordinary woman and couldn't think of words to praise. In the end, she could only say in surprise, "Come in, come in!"

"boom!"

He commanded Ta Xue to place the wild boar, and it landed heavily on the ground. It seemed that he could feel the vibration of the ground.

Butcher Zheng was naturally curious about how Li Xinni hunted such a big wild boar, and Li Xinni did not hide it. He told the truth, but he hid the credit for walking in the snow.

Then, Butcher Zheng looked at the wild boar on the ground and couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't know how to give money to Li Xinni. Li Xinni didn't care about this and just said: "Brother Zheng doesn't have to do this. Brother Zheng can sell it in the city first and then give me the money." That’s fine, if there’s a lack of meat in my house, I’m afraid I’ll be in trouble for Brother Zheng.”

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Mrs. Zhang on the side poured a glass of sugar water for Li Xinni. After hearing what Li Xinni said, she quickly said: "You are a girl living alone. We are all neighbors. How can we not take care of you?!"

Mrs. Zhang warmly greeted Li Xinni to sit down, and then Butcher Zheng couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's fine..."

"If Miss Li wants to eat meat, just come and get it. You won't let Miss Li go home empty-handed!"

Having said that, Butcher Zhang started busy handling the wild boar, while Li Xinni was watching quietly from the side, watching Butcher Zheng's every move.

As the saying goes, who is the best at cooking cattle? Cooking wild boars is also a technical job and a craft. Butcher Zheng saw Li Xinni staring at his movements. Butcher Zheng didn't say anything, and even the movements in his hands slowed down a bit. It seems that it is more convenient for Li Xinni to observe.

Li Xinni naturally noticed it, and immediately put the long sword and long bow in his hand aside, and then said: "Brother Zheng, get me some good meat, and what's under you can be sold!"

"It's natural. I prepared these four legs for Miss Li. Only the meat on the legs is better for pork..."

……

After carrying the meat back to his courtyard, Li Xinni untied Texue's saddle and other items, and then started making dinner.

The prey he hunted naturally tasted more delicious and had a greater sense of accomplishment. After dinner, Li Xinni came to the courtyard. It was already time to turn on the lanterns, and there were stars hanging on the night sky. The bright moon also became brighter, beginning to cover up the light of the stars.

In the courtyard, Texue stood in the stable. At this time, Texue had eaten all the weeds in the courtyard. The fresh grass in the stable was harvested by Li Xinni outside the city.

Li Xinni came to the stable and looked at Ta Xue in the stable. Ta Xue also turned his head and looked at Li Xin Ni outside. There seemed to be curiosity in the horse's eyes.

"Taxue, can you really talk to me?"

Li Xinni looked at Ta Xue and couldn't help but ask.

"can……"

But I heard Ta Xue suddenly utter a word. Although the accent was a bit strange, it was undeniable that Ta Xue could indeed speak.

"You are like a divine bird, able to speak human words..."

Li Xinni stared at Taxue curiously, and was very curious about Taxue's ability to speak. However, at this time, Taxue had just been able to speak, and Li Xinni could not understand anything from Taxue's mouth.

As for the divine bird, he has returned to Chang'an and has been sleeping for a long time, and he can't ask any questions he wants to ask.

"After all, Taxue is following the divine bird. The divine bird is magical and possesses magical powers. It is very reasonable for Taxue to be able to speak!"

Li Xinni comforted herself and then returned to the room.

……

……

In Chang'an City, the morning light scattered in this ancient city, making the city begin to wake up, everything revived, and the people in the city began a busy day.

The Tang Dynasty was strong and prosperous, the country was strong and the people were prosperous, and Chang'an City gradually became the center of the entire East. People in the East all yearned for the legendary Great Wall.

The streets gradually became busier, and among the pedestrians, a man in a long gown walked slowly, and then he walked into a restaurant nearby.

The restaurant was splendidly decorated and full of diners. There were people from all over the world chatting and laughing, and there were also people who looked depressed and were sad alone.

"Taibai, you're finally here!" The young man had just walked into the restaurant when a voice suddenly came from the second floor of the restaurant. The young man looked up and found that it was his friend.

"Taibai, you are too late this time, you will punish yourself with three drinks!"

The young man known as Taibai showed a smile on his face, nodded repeatedly and said: "It should be so, it should be so!"

It was Li Bai who came to Chang'an City and lived in Chang'an City for some years after he parted with Li Xinni in Shu.

Li Bai came to the second floor, and walked from his friend to a seat by the window. There were delicacies already placed on the table, and there was a refreshing aroma of wine.

"What, are you really planning to leave Chang'an City?"

Li Bai is a person who loves wine. Although the wine is in front of him at this moment, he looked at his friend opposite and asked with concern.

"That's right, I'm leaving Chang'an City!"

Li Bai's friend was also a young man. When he heard Li Bai's words, he nodded in agreement and said: "In this city of Chang'an, there are countless capable people and strangers, and how many opportunities can we, aspiring people, get?" Woolen cloth?"

"We don't know how many students in private schools in the world are waiting for the imperial court to be re-employed. How can it be our turn?"

From his friend's words, Li Bai heard complaints, resentment and frustration.

Hearing this, Li Bai couldn't help but fell silent.

Because he came to Chang'an City for a few years and wanted to express his ambition, but he had no way to serve the country. No one appreciated and recommended him, so he could only do nothing and spend his time in Chang'an City.

When they arrived at the Great Wall in the future, they thought that as long as they were ambitious and capable, they would be reused by those in power, but reality gave them a blow.

In Chang'an City, more emphasis is placed on disciples and former officials, who need to find people in power to serve, so that they can hold an official position in the court.

At this time, Li Bai and his friends across from him did not want to do this, let alone join in the same trend, so today's scene happened.

I can wait quietly in Chang'an City, but my friends are not so patient. I am afraid that this gathering is also to say goodbye. After today, my friends will also leave Chang'an City and return to their hometown.

Li Bai couldn't give any help to his friend's thoughts. After all, he himself was like this, let alone how to help others?

Two people who share the same problem are drinking quietly at the wine table. At the same time, you are reminiscing about things in your hometown of Shu.

Li Bai and his friends are both from Shu, which means there are more topics to talk about.

Speaking of his hometown of Shu, Li Bai suddenly thought of a beautiful figure and the beautiful woman he met in Shu when he came to Chang'an City.

The woman's beautiful face was still vivid in his mind and he couldn't forget it.

At this moment, Li Bai suddenly thought of something. When he came back, the woman seemed to have given him a jade pendant, so that when he could not express his ambition, he could hold the jade pendant to the Women's Palace and the Gentleman's Tower.

When he accepted the jade pendant, Li Bai did not take it to heart, nor did he think about using it.

But at this moment, his thoughts have changed, which of course makes him conflicted. His previous thoughts are still affecting him, but the facts do not force him to use the jade pendant.

"I don't know when we can meet again after this separation. Perhaps when we meet again in the future, Taibai, you are already in a high position and can show off your ambitions!"

Hearing his friend's blessings, Li Bai couldn't help but be moved in his heart, "No matter what, I will never forget you as a friend. Looking back on how many hardships and dangers we experienced from Shu to Chang'an, I didn't expect that it didn't take long. Will return again..."

"Yes!"

Li Bai's friends also sighed.

Then he looked at Li Bai and said, "I know that Taibai has great literary talent. Since we are about to say goodbye this time, doesn't Taibai write a poem to say goodbye to me?"

Hearing his friend's joke, Li Bai also reacted, with a serious look on his face, and said: "It should be so!"

Seeing the seriousness on Li Bai's face, his friend also reacted and quickly shouted to the waiter in the distance: "Xiao Er, I will take care of you with pen and ink!"

There are many literati in the Great Wall, not to mention talented men and beautiful women. There are countless people who are very poetic and write poems in restaurants. For this kind of situation, waiters in restaurants have become accustomed to it.

Hearing the voice of Li Bai's friend, the waiter immediately brought up the Four Treasures of the Study, and thoughtfully ground the rice paper for Li Bai and unfolded it.

The scene here also attracted more people's attention. Those who were not close looked sideways and looked at Li Bai with curiosity, expecting Li Bai to send the poem.

But Li Bai poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He stood up with a brush full of ink, frowned and pondered for a moment, thinking about the difficult roads in Shu, and thinking about the woman in Shu back then, he couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately he started writing like a god, and his writing was like a dragon or a snake:

"Hey, hey, it's so dangerous! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

Taibai's friend stood on one side, and the annotator Li Bai's face changed with every word he wrote on the paper.

People around him noticed the change in Taibai's friend's expression, and became more curious randomly. Buji stood up and walked over, looking at Li Bai who was writing, the words on his own paper.

As they read the words on the paper, their contents gradually became shocking:

"With silkworms and yufu (fú), how confused was the founding of the country!

You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai (sài).

There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cut across the top of Emei (diān).

The earth collapsed and the mountains destroyed the strong men to death, and then the stone stacks (zhàn) of the ladder to heaven were connected together.

On the top there is the high standard of the six dragons returning to the sun, and on the bottom there is the Huichuan where the waves are reversed.

......"

The people on the side couldn't help but recite the content on the paper, and then more and more people were attracted, staring at Li Bai who was writing in the center of the field, and they waited quietly.

"...The difficulty of the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky. Turning sideways and looking west, Changzhi (zī) sighs (jiē)!"

The last long sigh also aroused the exclamation of everyone present. After reading the whole content, their eyes towards Li Bai also became different.

"Such poems could have been written only by the banished immortal while he was still alive!"

"Who is this person? If he has such literary talent, why is he still unknown?"

"May I ask what the name of this poem is?"

the people present asked.

And everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on Li Bai in the center. They saw Li Bai pondering for a moment, and then uttered three words:

"The road to Shu is difficult!"
