Leizhou is very large, and Zhenman city is also vast. Although most of the people of Leizhou live in this big city, it is different from the Shenjing City, where everyone lives in a lot of houses, and even each family has a small yard full of all kinds of berries.

Leizhou rainforest is airtight and rich in berries. As a major export, it often has trade relations with the surrounding Fu and Shun states. You should know that the cheap berries can be seen everywhere. In the northern part of summer, each berry is expensive.

When they enter the house, their eyes are full of colorful umbrellas hanging on the corridor.

Umbrellas are of various shapes and colors. Some of them are even dripping down. Obviously, they have just been used. While the three men were observing, the old lady walking slowly in front of her slowly opened her mouth and said:

"in Leizhou, umbrellas are in fact necessities, just like clothes. These are left over from my husband. He is an umbrella craftsman and usually goes out of town to do them If a living person forgets to bring an umbrella with him, he will borrow one from himself and return it to me when he returns to the city. Over time, my umbrella is not less, but more, because some people always remember wrongly and return it to me. Ha ha ha ha. "

After the old lady finished, she began to laugh, and the night nightmare behind her instantly respected.

Several people walked through the corridor with umbrellas on both sides and stepped out one step at a time. In front of them, a wide leaf plant similar to plantain grew around the corner of the yard. There were strings of light yellow berries hanging on it. Raindrops hit it and made crackling sound, like a rain forest movement.

"Boys, sit here for a moment, and I'll bring some bowls of ginger soup."

The old lady placed the three men at a stone table, and then went to the kitchen. Lin Xiao took off the hood on her head and showed a calm and heroic face. She stood up and said, "mother-in-law, I'll help you."

A moment later, Lin Xiao came out with three steaming bowls. Then the four people sat around the table, surrounded by the sound of rain beating plantains. The iron pillar also took off the big robe and hood from his head, but not at night.

Because he was a barbarian in the south, he had a totem on his face when he was born, while the people of Leizhou and the tribes of the barbarians in nanmanli were enemies.

Yeyi didn't want to frighten the amiable, respectful, warm and kind-hearted old lady.

Lin Xiao took a sip of the ginger soup in a bowl, and the hot air rose. He could only feel the moist air from all over his body. Although the three of them could almost ignore the surrounding environment by virtue of their cultivation, this sultry and humid Leizhou belonged to two extremes compared with the extremely dry Northwest. After another sip, Xiaosha Shen looked at his side, smiling and squinting "Mother in law, how long have you lived in this desolate town?"

"That's too long."

The old lady flashed a trace of memory and thought in her eyes, and then continued:

"I haven't left this place in my life. My friend and I know each other here. I remember that Mo Yue 60 years ago, this was a small town, and it was not called a desolate city. Later, Lord Ximan took this place as the capital of his fiefdom, which greatly changed its appearance."

"When I came into the city just now, I found that the ground of the city was very rare, and the whole floor was paved with flat stones, which was extremely rare in summer."

Sitting on one side of the night suddenly asked, you know, in the whole dynasty of the great Xia Dynasty, except for the most powerful city in the world, Shenjing city and several extremely rich state capitals in the East, the night has never seen any city like a deserted town. The ground is all paved with extremely flat stones. This is a huge amount of work, and the whole Leizhou is surrounded by rain forest and stone resources The source is extremely scarce, and it is also a big problem where to transport such a number of stones.

"Very good, isn't it?"

After hearing this, the old lady's face showed a smile and a look of pride. Although her skin was full of wrinkles, she was smiling brightly, just like a woman in the southwest of summer. She was warm, lively and hospitable. Then she continued to say:

"we have too much rain here. If we use the land as the ground, the whole city will be soaked for half a year It was very inconvenient to soak in the mud and water, and it was not conducive to the carriage. Therefore, it took the king of Ximan 20 years to lay all the stones on the ground of this big city. "

This is the second time that the old man mentioned the word "King Ximan".

One of the three kings of the great Xia Dynasty, King Ximan, one of the fourteen surnames of Ying, is the surname of Zhongli.

"Mother in law, can you tell us a story about King Ximan?"

After Lin Xiao's gentle inquiry, the old lady nodded and said with a smile:

"this also starts with a gambling engagement. When the Lord Ximan first came here, we were still a small town, and there were often ferocious refugees from the border areas. Everyone was in a panic. Later, the king rebuilt the southern frontier If we want to recruit troops to form a wild army, we have to make a bet with the people of Leizhou. He said that all the men should go to the battlefield and protect the country. The king's house is responsible for taking care of his wife, children and children. He wants to build a big city, create the best conditions for these families to live in and ensure the stability of the generation. "At this point, the old lady stood up, and then went to the eaves of the inner room. Looking at the rainstorm in the yard, she turned her back to yeyan Si's three people. Only the old man's voice continued to ring:

"some people believe it, but others don't believe it. To know the situation at that time, it's very difficult to believe in an outsider, but my one was the first to respond He left a lot of umbrellas at home. He was the first one to follow the king to the border a hundred miles away. Although he didn't come back later, the LORD kept his promise and bet. I live in the house which is very far ahead of me, and there are people who deliver food and clothes regularly. In my life, I'm stable and have no shortage of anything. "

Finally, the old lady's voice, there is a trace of choking, and back to the face of three people, already two lines of muddy tears.

After the old lady finished, all three fell into silence. After a long time, Lin Xiaocai said generously:

"no wonder my father admired the southwest wild army most. He once said that the half million wild army guarded the southwest and never asked the imperial court for help. It turned out that there was a story about the king of Ximan, a real hero, a Leizhou people and a true hero."

The old lady turned around, put on her smile again, narrowed her eyes, and said:

"whenever foreigners like you come to Zhenman City, my old lady always takes the trouble to say that we are good here. Everyone is very hospitable. Although the border is chaotic now, there are wild troops in the area, and there are no big waves. By the way, I haven't Do you come here to visit relatives or visitors

After the words dropped, the three people who were sitting and had finished the ginger soup got up at the same time. Then they raised their hands and bent down to the old lady in front of them. At night, a young and gentle voice came out:

"thank you for your mother-in-law's hospitality. We, the great Xia yeyan company, have been ordered by the White Emperor's palace to support the great emperor, unite with the wild army, and cooperate with your majesty to fight against the southwest and Yongzhen Nanman! ”

after the ceremony, the old lady was held up at night, and then whispered in her ear:

"mother in law, we will avenge your husband's revenge."
