Shu'er had lived in Linjiang for two years. At the age of eight or nine, it was the time when she was active and active. Naturally, she was much more familiar with the streets and alleys of Linjiang than the roads of Yudu. At this time, she disguised herself as a man.

With a sword hanging on her waist, she walked proudly in Linjiang City. She was dressed neatly in the Song Dynasty and followed by two tall guards. Although she was thin and small, she looked upright and heroic, and had a very domineering air. In contrast, walking

Next to her, Lin Ying was not as confident as she was. Although she was a head taller than her, she still had some pretentiousness.

The Rebellion of the Seven Kings did not harm Linjiang. Because the seven kings all thought unanimously that if one day they could unify the Chu Kingdom, they would definitely move from their own fiefdoms to the vacant Zhaohuang Palace in Linjiang as a token of their will.

The majesty of the King of Chu. Therefore, the city along the river, despite the more than ten years of war in the Chu Kingdom, remained intact and there was no trace of the war.

Lin Ying suddenly realized. Is this the "loss of life" mentioned in his father's letter? Is it a lie that I have kept my name anonymously and lived in a foreign country for many years? He took a closer look and realized that although the streets and houses along the river were intact, the clusters of houses were intact.

Although the shops in the city were lively and noisy, there were many homeless people on the streets, beggars everywhere, and many of the vendors selling the stalls were disabled. Lin Ying did not dare to take a closer look. He took a breath of air-conditioning and felt that the so-called war was all burning on the people.

of scars.

The four of them came to the Linjiang Restaurant that Shu'er mentioned, and it was time for lunch. The waiter in the restaurant limped over to greet them to sit down. Shu'er remembered that Grandpa Xu brought her here.

This was the name of the dish that the second brother had given them. That is to say, the second brother brought her adopted Aunt Yan in front of her. However, back then, his legs and feet were flexible and he could run up and down the stairs very fast.

Now, he is on crutches and mentally exhausted.

Shu'er looked sad, so she gave him all the broken silver she had with her, but she had nothing to say to him. Ask him how many years he has been in the army? Ask him where he fought? Or ask him how to get it.

Lost legs and feet?

The younger brother counted the pieces of silver and asked Shu'er, "Sir, what are you doing?"

Shu'er smiled bitterly. Where did the guest come from? She said, "It's nothing. You can take it and use it."

The second brother grabbed half of it and returned the other half to Shu'er, saying calmly: "Thank you very much, but I'm alone and don't have a wife and children, so I don't need so much. Come with me and I'll give you a place on the second floor."

Good seats.”

Shu'er silently followed the limping second brother, seeing how hard it was for him to go upstairs. Shu'er's footsteps also became heavier. If there had not been the Rebellion of the Seven Kings and the smoke of war, that person would have been so agile back then.

, the smart-tongued second brother, is no longer alone and lonely because of his injured leg. She remembers that every time she, Aunt Yan and Aunt Song came to the restaurant to deliver drinks, it was this second brother who came enthusiastically.

He helped them move jars of wine to the warehouse. But now, he has limited mobility and can no longer do heavy work.

The second brother took them to the seat on the second floor where Xu Song had sat when he brought her here. Because Xu Song often came to Jiang Restaurant to tell stories, the second brother liked to listen to his stories, so it was best to take him to the second floor.

Location. From this location, you can overlook the Chushui Cruise Ship from a distance, and you can see the buskers singing and telling stories on the small stage on the second floor. In those days, you could occasionally see Lady Yan wandering at the door of the restaurant to deliver drinks.

The four of them were seated, but the younger brother did not tell the names of the dishes, but handed him a piece of paper, on which only seven dishes were scrawled. Shu'er was speechless. Where were the names of the dozens of dishes that Linjiang Restaurant had in those days? Shu'er

Asked: "Little brother, do the restaurants only have these seven dishes today?"

The younger brother took a look at the four people's costumes and said: "The guest came from the Song Dynasty, so he naturally doesn't know what our Chu country is like now. Although Linjiang still exists, the seven kings are constantly fighting, and the strong men have gone to fight, even the kitchen masters.

With all the waiters gone, where would anyone be cooking in the restaurant? If our Linjiang Restaurant hadn't been so prosperous in the early years and could barely survive, now we can't even cook seven dishes. The four guests can go to other restaurants.

Let’s take a look and see which restaurant besides ours can offer seven dishes?”

Shu'er felt sad and pointed at four dishes at random and said, "That's it."

Lin Ying held her chin and looked at Chu Shui in the distance, silently. Qingyu and Yifeng saw that their lord and Mr. Su didn't speak, so they also sat quietly.

At noon, the number of people in the restaurant gradually increased. The four people who ate in silence listened to the conversations of the diners around them. They all complained about the constant war in Chu and the people's livelihood. They hoped that Lin Lang, the king of Sheng, could unify Chu as soon as possible and take Chu back to a hundred years ago.

The prosperous age created by King Zhao of Chu.

Shu'er waved her hand in front of Lin Ying, who was in a daze, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Lin Ying said dullly: "I heard it."

Shu'er asked again: "What did you hear?"

Lin Ying looked at Shu'er and said word by word: "I heard that the flames of war were spreading, poisoning the people. I heard that King Zhao was in great power and would never return."

Seeing the flash of heat in Lin Ying's eyes, Shu'er felt a burst of relief and a burst of regret in her heart. Xiaoying, it's time for you to grow up. As the son of Prince Sheng, although you have great talents in piano and painting.

, but you can’t live just for your own preferences. Have you seen the Chu land today? What you want to draw is not the beautiful flowers and birds on the paper, but a reorganized mountains and rivers!

Shu'er was about to explain to Lin Ying, who had been silent, when he saw two thin old men walking up to the second floor. One had a wine gourd hanging around his waist, and the other was waving an old folding fan in his hand. The two were chatting and laughing, as if they had seen through the vicissitudes of the world.

Shu'er's eyes couldn't help but moisten. Grandpa Xu, I can still see you!

Xu Song untied the wine gourd and took a sip of wine. Suddenly his face turned cold. He pointed at Shu'er displeasedly and raised his voice: "How come I, old man Xu, have been given the seat of a few people from the Song Dynasty today?"

The younger brother who was finishing the dishes at the next table came over lamely and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. You see that you can always come and sit in that seat. Today, why don't you give them a large number of newcomers from the Song Dynasty?"

Make a place for them to enjoy the scenery of Chu River."

Xu Song snorted and said to Shu'er: "You rich and noble sons of the Song Dynasty, you really came in the wrong year to see the scenery of Chu River!"

Shu'er stared blankly at Grandpa Xu who brought her to Chu State. He was old and thin.

Xu Song was a little nervous when Shu'er stared at him, thinking that the young man from the Song Dynasty with the sword would get angry at him, an old storyteller with no strength to restrain a chicken, but he saw that Shu'er was speechless for a long time, just looking at him. Xu Song

Feeling bored, he turned to the old man holding the folding fan beside him and said, "Let's go sit over there." Unexpectedly, his friend holding the folding fan also stared at the four Song people harder than the young man.

You should take a closer look yourself.

Xu Songqi asked: "What are you looking at?"
