Chapter 192 The Beginning of a Dream

(2)

Due to the lack of rain in Yuyi Town all year round, when the Han people took over, everyone worked together to dig a large well near the town.

The special thing is that the size of this well is no less than any ordinary lake, so the Han people call it "Goddess Lake", while the Xianbei people call it "Goddess' Eyes", because during the day, This lake is as pure and blue as the eyes of the Xianbei beauty.

With the groundwater stored over the years and the occasional nectar falling from the sky, Yuyi Town just didn't have to worry about water use.Goddess Lake is also a witness of the friendship between the Han people and the Xianbei people, and has been nurturing the people in Yuyi Town until today.

Later, the Zhao family of Yuyi invested in the construction of water canals to guide the water from the Goddess Lake to the town for every household.

Before that, people had to go to the edge of the lake more than ten miles away to fetch water, but now they only need to send some people to guard the water source, and they can fetch water for use at the door of their homes.

Large and small culverts are filled under the large and small streets of Yuyi Town, and gurgling water flows quietly in them.After accomplishing such a feat, the Zhao family naturally won the hearts of the people.So even if Zhao Xiaomei just walks and plays around on the road, she will be supported and admired by the townspeople from time to time.

Some foreign merchants who don't know the situation will say to people in this town: "Why do you bow your knees and respect such a little lady?"

And everyone would answer as a matter of course: "This is the daughter of Mr. Zhao Wei, a nobleman in this town. If anyone can get her favor, good things will definitely happen!"

With the support of the Zhao family, this prosperous town standing in the vast wilderness became famous and its power gradually increased in the ten years after the "Seven Towns Rebellion", and no one dared to despise it.

A group of people walked a few distances and saw a mother with a child fetching water from a wooden barrel under the culvert, and a few street teenagers playing and fighting among the high buildings; Officials patrolling the road will help to make a way to avoid accidents.

These scenes are very difficult for homeless people to see, and now, they can also find a sense of belonging in them.

It was night, and the autumn wind blew away from the deep alley with the aroma of wine.The inside of Zhao's House is brightly lit, every room has its doors and windows open, there is an endless stream of servants presenting wine and dishes, dancers twirling, tumbling and swaying their skirts to the music.

This extremely jubilant banquet was specially prepared by Zhao Kuo for Lou Jinghua, Bai Feng and others. The so-called "receive the wind and wash the dust" means to welcome the wind of prosperity and wash away all the mundane things that have been contaminated during the journey.

And wine is an indispensable thing in this ceremony.

Many people who were originally staying in the business house, but not in the Lou family's caravan team, were also attracted to join in the feast. They first had a light meal in the house, and then sat on the table and chatted with each other.

Although their topic is not about the world, it's just some parents' gossip, but it's interesting enough.Sometimes it made everyone laugh, and sometimes they started arguing, which was very lively.

Zhao Kuo and Lou Jinghua, the host and guest of honor of the banquet, sat firmly on the high hall, watching the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of the servants, sometimes they couldn't help but follow their emotions and shouted "good".

But after a while, Lou Jinghua began to feel something was wrong and gradually became depressed.

Taking advantage of Zhao Kuo just toasting and returning to rest for a while, the daughter of the Lou family quietly grabbed the other party's sleeve and asked, "Why hasn't your father come yet? Miss Ben didn't come here for pleasure!"

"Oh, what's the hurry!" Zhao Kuo replied impatiently, "Have a few drinks first, maybe my dad will come... Huh? Why don't you see Brother Bai? Doesn't this guy like drinking?"

"He's so hurt and still drinking, you want him to die!" Lou Jinghua responded with even more resentment, not even wanting to look at Zhao Kuo.

"Yeah, why did I forget!" Zhao Kuo held his forehead, looking extremely drunk: "Oh no, I have to go to sleep, if I let my father see me like this, I will definitely end badly .”

As soon as the words were finished, Lou Jinghua took a closer look and found that Zhao Kuoye had got up and away from the seat, and was about to go straight to the door.All of a sudden, the daughter of the Lou family began to realize Zhao Kuo's guilty conscience, picked up the wine glass and threw it over, angrily said: "You bastard, how dare you lie to me!"

Then he lifted his skirt and trotted to follow.

Somehow Zhao Kuo also ran very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He took the opportunity to hide in the room where Ajuan and Xiaomei Zhao had dinner.

Logically speaking, a girl who has not yet left the court cannot have meals with other men at will, so Ajuan and Xiaomei need to make another arrangement.But Lou Jinghua has gone beyond this common sense, because in Zhao Kuo's view, she is no different from him.

"Your brother, I just want Jinghua to get used to how to be a caravan leader as soon as possible, so after she comes later, you all say that you haven't seen me, and let her go back and get along with your servant!"

Under Zhao Kuo's explanation, Xiaomei and Ajuan believed it naively, and they made an appointment to hide Zhao Kuo together.

But when she was young, Lou Jinghua really came to her.She stared viciously at the two women who were closest to Zhao Kuo, and guessed at the worst, but she was still deceived, and finally had to turn around obediently.

When parting, Lou Jinghua also left a message: "Since Uncle Shi won't come tonight, why waste my heart. If Zhao Kuo dares to lie to me next time, I'll kill him. Don't stop the two of you then." I!"

The intense emotion and sincerity of this sentence convinced others so deeply that Zhao Kuo didn't dare to come out from the dark for a long time after Lou Jinghua left.

After that, Zhao Kuo walked outside the firm in the dark, without even lighting the lantern, for fear that people would find him sneaking out.Although he wasn't doing anything wrong, he just wanted to find Bai Feng's trace, but he still had lingering fears about Lou Jinghua's soft and strong temper.

Regarding Bai Feng's whereabouts, he asked everyone he could along the way.No matter whether it is a boy in an inn, a servant in the street, or a delivery boy, no one has ever seen such a young swordsman.

Just when he had no idea, he looked up at the highest place in Yuyi Town - the magpie bridge.

I saw two figures leaning against the bridge, on top of that huge gem.

Zhao Kuo immediately knew where Bai Feng was, and walked away with a titter.

As time passed, Zhao Kuo walked to the Magpie Bridge, and Bai Feng and Murong Yan waved to each other as if they had expected it.

"Brother Bai, why don't you come to the great banquet, why do you have to go here?"

"I have injuries, so I have to refrain from meat and alcohol."

"How are your injuries?"

Murong Yan rushed to the side and said: "The injury is not serious, you have already been beaten to death, I really don't know what you planned at that time..."

"Hey, Miss Murong, this is because of helplessness!" Zhao Kuo looked at the lights of thousands of families in Yuyi Town under the bridge, and said with emotion, "Look, isn't this place very beautiful?"

"It's really beautiful and peaceful..." Murong Yan said, "It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such peace."

"Such peace, even if it is exchanged with life, is worth it."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, several people suddenly felt that such peace was extremely heavy, and then they all silently admired the night.

At this moment, no one wants to recall what kind of hell Yuyi Town was ten years ago...
