    Liushui Township is the last stop from Lingao County to Henan. Ding Erkang decided to stay in Liushui Township tonight.

    Thirty years ago, he and Du Heng also stayed at the top of the hotel here.

    Ding Erkang also said that the name of the store at that time was "Laifu Inn". It was also in that inn that Ding Erkang and Du Heng met Yang Yunqing, and the three fell in love with each other and became brothers.

    Ding Erkang and Xiuzhen Zhongwen said: "Let's try to get to Liushui Township tonight, and from there we will cross Yuntai Mountain to Shanyang County, which is the border of Henan."

    Xiuzhen asked: "Sir, have you been to Liushui Township?"

    Ding Erkang nodded and said: "I came here thirty years ago, when I was as old as you, and determined to go to the "Bamboo Forest Academy" in Shanyang to study. At that time, I started from Nanma all the way to Liushui Village  It took two days, and two pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles were worn out, and there were two big blood blisters under the soles of the feet, it¡¯s not like sitting in the car for half a day now.¡±

    After hearing this, Xiuzhen stuck out her tongue and said, "Excellent, walk to Henan, you didn't have any money at that time, right?"

    Ding Erkang nodded and said: "Not entirely. At that time, my plan was to hike to Shanyang to see the remains of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". My idol at that time was Ji Kang. I wish I could have been born in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In order to be like an idol  To salute, the heart must be sincere, and it would be disrespectful not to kowtow three times at one step, how dare you go in a carriage. But it is true that there was no money at the time, and there were several pieces of mother-baked buns on my back before departure."

    Zhongwen asked: "Sir, do you feel bitter in retrospect?"

    Ding Erkang said without hesitation: "It's not bitter, how can it be bitter? One has to give something for the dream in his heart. Besides, he didn't feel tired at all when he was young. He fell asleep when he arrived at the inn. The next day  When the light was off, I continued on my way, as if there was a fire burning in my heart, and the fire in my heart would not dissipate if I didn¡¯t hurry.¡±

    Zhongwen said eagerly: "Sir, in fact, there is a fire burning in my heart now. I am so excited when I think that I will see Mr.'s "Bamboo Forest Academy" soon!"

    When Xiuzhen heard what Zhongwen said, she immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, sir. I also really want to see the legendary "Bamboo Forest Academy."

    After hearing what they said, Ding Erkang looked up at the towering Yuntai Mountain in the distance, and said quietly: "Why am I not, "Bamboo Forest Academy", are you okay?"

    In the evening, the group finally arrived at Liushui Township.

    Ding Erkang was really tired after nearly a day of bumping around. He put his hands on his stiff waist and said to Xiuzhen and Zhongwen: "My old bones are about to fall apart from the wind today. I guess I will have a good time tonight."  Just re-arrange the bones."

    Xiuzhen hurriedly supported Ding Erkang and said, "Sir, when we arrive at the inn, I will massage your waist and make sure you will be fine for a while. I often give grandpa a massage at home."

    Ding Erkang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I appreciate your kindness, I can't press this bone, it will fall apart if I press it, just lie down for a while, it's fine!"

    After finishing speaking, he ordered Zhongwen and said: "Zhongwen, if I remember correctly, there is a "Laifu Inn" here, go and find out if there is any, and if so, we will live there."

    Zhongwen hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll go down and inquire first."

    Zhongwen got out of the carriage and saw a few villagers chatting in front of him. Zhongwen walked over and bowed his hands at them, saluted them and said, "My fellow, do we have a "Laifu Inn" here?"

    One of the villagers replied: "There is one, and it has been open for decades. Do you live in a shop?"

    Zhongwen nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to stay here for one night, can you tell me how to get to "Laifu Inn"?"

    The villager pointed with his hand and said: "Go straight along this road, and turn right at the end."

    Zhongwen thanked the villagers and returned to the car. He said to Ding Erkang, "Sir, the "Laifu Inn" is still there. Go along the road and turn right at the end."

    Ding Erkang waved his hand and said to Zhongwen: "Then go to stay at the Laifu Inn."

    Zhongwen drove the car to "Laifu Inn". When he reached the end and turned right, he saw a very simple building with blue bricks and gray eaves. There were four large characters "Laifu Inn" written on the plaque at the door.

    The waiter saw a carriage coming in and rushed out to greet him warmly, "Guest officer, do you want to stay at the shop or not?"

    Zhongwen stopped the car and said to the waiter, "Are there any available rooms?"

    The waiter in the shop said with a smile: "Yes, a clean room has been prepared for you a long time ago, and there is hot water for you to take a bath."

      Zhongwen lifted the curtain of the car happily and said to Ding Erkang, "Sir, did you hear that, there is still hot water for bathing."

    Ding Erkang said: "I heard that, then let's stay here and tell the shopkeeper that we need two rooms, and the houses should be next to each other."

    The waiter heard Ding Erkang's words through the curtain of the car, and he repeated loudly: "Well, the two upper rooms are next to each other, and I will prepare it for you immediately."

    Zhongwen helped Ding Erkang get out of the carriage, and Ding Erkang raised his eyes and looked at the "Laifu Inn" carefully.

    good!  It hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as it was thirty years ago.

    Ding Erkang asked the shop waiter, "How old is your boss?"

    The waiter said: "The boss is thirty-eight this year, do you know him?"

    Ding Erkang replied: "I came here 30 years ago, and the boss at that time was also so big. I wonder if they are related?"

    The shop clerk said: "You came here thirty years ago. That should be the father of our boss. Now the old boss is taking care of the elderly at home, and the young boss has taken over."

    Ding Erkang nodded and said, "Yes, thirty years have passed, and I'm already old. It should be young people who are in charge!"

    After finishing speaking, the waiter led the three of them into the lobby of the inn, and saw a shopkeeper-like man wearing a melon cap behind the counter busy.

    The shop waiter said to him, "Shopkeeper, a customer has arrived."

    The shopkeeper raised his head and said, "Oh, come in quickly, do you want two rooms, sir?"

    Ding Erkang nodded and said, "Is there any room for two rooms next to each other?"

    The shopkeeper said diligently: "Of course, someone has been arranged to clean it, and the guest officer can move in immediately."

    Zhongwen said to the shopkeeper: "We have been driving for a day, and we are really hungry. Is there anything to eat in the store?"

    The shopkeeper hurriedly came out of the counter and said: "Of course, our store provides one-stop service for accommodation and meals. I will get you whatever you want."

    Zhongwen turned to Ding Erkang and Xiuzhen who were behind him and said, "Sir, sister-in-law Xiuzhen, just tell me what you two want to eat."

    Ding Erkang said: "When one is old, a bowl of clear porridge and half a plate of snacks is enough. You young people can eat whatever they want."

    Xiuzhen asked: "Boss, do we have any special food here?"

    The shopkeeper said: "Liushui and Liushui mean that we have six rivers here, and naturally the fish are the most plump."

    Zhongwen said: "Then let me have a braised Liushui fish, a bowl of clear porridge, and two small dishes. Is that all right, sister-in-law Xiuzhen?"

    Xiuzhen nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

    Zhongwen said: "Then trouble the shopkeeper, can you serve the food quickly?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
