At the beginning of May in the seventh year of Kaitai, the high temperature for several days in a row made the whole air stagnant, and it became like this in May. It seems that this summer is not easy to endure.
I rode my horse to the north without rushing, staying in the shop at night, and driving along during the day. Unexpectedly, this horse eats so much. I wondered that Han Yu once said that a horse is a thousand miles away. It eats or eats a stone, but this horse eats a lot, and it is still a waste of work on the road, which makes me very angry. So gave it a very poetic name, Foodie.
The cost of eating goods is nearly 50 cents a day, which makes me a little regretful borrowing horses from my big brother. Fortunately, there are a lot of weeds, vines, and branches on the roadside. When resting on the roadside, you can get some food for it. At first, it was picky and picky. Later, I directly threatened it if I didn’t eat it, I would sell it to the back of the Yaoluguan. Just become more honest.
At noon that day, on the northern official road, the scorching sun was sky-high, and I saw that the food was slowly unwilling to hurry. There happened to be a shade of trees in front of me, so I went to enjoy the shade.
There is also a team of people under the shade of the trees. It looks like it should be a group of walking businessmen. There are also a few people from the rivers and lakes. They should be guards or bodyguards hired by this team of businessmen.
Listening to those people, they are all in Jinan accent, and I feel very cordial.
I took out the pancakes and ate something with beef. I was about to untie the water sac, but found a hole in the water sac, and the water in it had leaked out. Hey, the water sac I bought for 30 yuan when I was studying art from Mount Tai, took five years and finally died.
So I walked toward the caravans, and just a few steps, the gangsters drew out their swords and looked at me with vigilant faces.
I worked in the Escort for two years, and naturally understood these rules. When I go out, the well water does not violate the river water. Now I break into the opponent's guard zone, which is a provocation.
I lifted the water bag and said to the elderly man in Jinan dialect: Old man, after walking all the way, I will find that the water bag is broken and dry. Can I borrow some water
The headed man said, I'm sorry this brother, we don't have much water.
Everyone in the caravan looked over here, with a worried look on their faces, and I felt something was wrong. But when he was away from home, it was love for others to help, and he couldn't care if he didn't help, so he retreated in a little embarrassment.
At this time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old guy walked out of the caravan with a kettle in his hand and handed it to me, eldest brother, you drink mine.
I took the kettle, took a few sips, took out a few pieces of dried beef from my arms and stuffed him. Thank you brother!
After the two sides had a game, I knew that these people were the guards of the Jiangnan Tongwei Escort Bureau. They escorted a caravan from Jiangnan back to Jinan Prefecture. On the way, they were targeted by a group of Jiangyang thieves, so I was cautious all the way.
Tongwei Escort is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is limited to the south of the Yangtze River. It doesn't give any face to gangs and heroes from all walks of life in the north, especially in Shandong. Walking in the arena depends on martial arts and friendship. Martial arts rely on discussion, friendship by drinking, both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard, Jiangnan martial arts can not drink enough, this is equivalent to breaking oneself, this joke is very popular in the world.
I said that I was a guard of the Central Plains Escort, and the other party was still a little skeptical. I took out the dart certificate and said something about Jiang Chong before they reluctantly believed it. The old dart head's surname is Zhang. He said that our dart team has encountered some troubles and didn't want to involve you, but everyone is a peer. If you can help us complete this dart, we would like to reward you with a dozen silver dollars.
I was a little moved. Ten taels of silver is my three-month salary, but I am also afraid that I will earn my life and spend my life, so I said: I can't guarantee that I can do it, but if I use it, I will never refuse.
Zhang Biaotou is an old river and lake, so he can naturally hear the meaning of my words. If someone comes to martial arts, I can help if I can.
After avoiding the midday sun, the caravan continued on the road. I rode the foodies and hung in the back not far away. The people in Tongwei Escort also acquiesced to my approach.
I looked at the composition of the caravan. There were seven-eight-two carriages in front of them. They were filled with porcelain, silk and satin, but they weren’t valuable. At most, it is only fifty or sixty taels, but now I have been offered a part-time salary of twelve taels of silver. If this trip is not a dark dart, then I am afraid that the trick is on the black carriage in the middle.
The carriage was airtight around it, covered by black cloth, and no one came down along the way, and the old coachman who drove could not leave. I tried to detect the martial arts of the old man with my spiritual sense, but the other party noticed that the highest martial arts among these people is the old man who drives the car.
In the next two days, the caravan was walking slowly, and sometimes a few dark whistles were staring at the caravan from a distance, but most of the time it was fleeting. I said to Zhang Biaotou, someone is eyeing us.
Zhang Biaotou said, they were eyeing us before July or 8th, but they didn't make a move for some reason, Qin Biaotou, this matter is still unclear, please keep it secret.
I nodded, why don't I go find it for you? Or grab a few tongues to find out. Now the enemy is secretive, like the flesh on the anvil, if you can't organize an effective counterattack, I'm afraid it will be slaughtered.
Master Zhang Biao hesitated, we didn’t have much manpower...
I smiled, it's okay, I'll take care of this.
In the evening, the post was full. We stayed at an inn next to the official road. I fed the food early with fodder and chatted with a few guards in the evening.
The content of the chat, naturally, can't avoid the Jiangnan Wulin Conference, especially the rise of the magic sect, which is beyond the accident of the whole arena.
After a month of the martial arts conference, the world did not hear the demon cult doing evil things. On the contrary, the demon cult, which took over the world and established the rudder in various places, went so far as to preach the god of light, and even taught the doctrines and alms to the poor. , The congregation is also increasing.
Of course, we have not done anything less about looting sites. Bribing the government and robbing important gates, docks, ferry tolls, etc. will definitely not be ambiguous, but what are these? Those gangs fighting for profit have not happened any day? Although those decent members do not do this on the face of it, they have colluded with the green forests of various places in private and reached agreements secretly. If you were in the rivers and lakes at that time, you would inevitably be filled with outrage when you hear such things. Now it seems that it is as natural as eating and drinking water.
Drinking alcohol is a taboo when playing darts, but we still drank a little bit. In the evening, I exercised my energy in the room, and the vein broke. I wondered if I could try to get the internal force to bypass the break, and forcefully open the big and small weeks, but the effect was not great.
I released my god recognition, inspected the surrounding situation, and heard several people from Tongwei Escort discussing countermeasures.
I will soon enter the boundary of Shandong, Boss Zhang, the old man is unwilling to leave the carriage a step, and the brothers behind have been with him for more than half a month. You must have an explanation, right
Master Zhang Biao said: I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. I have already greeted a few brothers on Shandong Road.
When I heard it, I didn't think it was right. These people were obviously the black dart masters who wanted to guard the stolen darts on the road. I am afraid that the businessmen who hired the darts were still kept in the dark.
In the escort business, escorts colluded with outsiders to snatch darts. This is the most serious one of the prohibited sex practices of escorts, and it also violates the Ming law. The warning education organized by the Escort Board and Six Doors every year is to visit those economic criminals in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and most of the escort criminals are such black darts.
I thought I could take the opportunity to make some extra money, but I didn't expect it to be such a result. Originally, there was no pie in the sky for no reason. Thinking of this, I couldn't help being discouraged and made up my mind to leave the team tomorrow morning.
I heard the other party say: What about the escort of the Central Plains Escort
Zhang Biao said, this guy doesn't know the depth of martial arts, if the idea is not hard, they will be killed together at that time, and the incident will be blamed on the Central Plains Escort, then they are really yellow mud in their crotch, not shit but shit.
I was furious in my heart, and immediately cut off the thought of leaving. You little bastards of rank seven or eight, I can squeeze you to death with one hand, and even hit the small abacus on the head of our Central Plains Escort. See what you can do with Tongwei Escort.
On the second day, I took the initiative to talk to my family. The young boy who gave me water asked Shishi, "Is Brother Qin really an escort teacher?"
I smiled and nodded.
Then why don't you see your weapon
Uh, I can't say that I can't afford weapons without money, so I pretended to be in a high place and walked the rivers and lakes, and I rarely encountered rivals, so I didn't bring weapons.
I heard that masters can fly and walk through walls, and they can pull out several feet in one go. Can you show me this
…
I have a black line on my face. Do you think I am a street performer.
I couldn't bear the nagging of the stone, so I had to walk away. The stone was unrelenting and chased up. I asked if the stone had learned martial arts? He said that since he was a child, he had traveled to Jiangnan with his family for fur business. Although he wanted to learn, he had no chance.
I patted him on the shoulder, no matter if I didn't learn, I couldn't help myself as soon as I entered the rivers and lakes. It would be better to start a small business at home.
A fourteen or five-year-old woman came over and gave the stone dry food. The stone was a little unhappy. Didn't I tell you, I will eat it later, I am asking Daxia Qin for advice on Kung Fu!
The woman was trained by the stone, bowed her head and did not dare to speak, and slowly backed away. Stone doesn't care, this is my wife, married at home, I don't like it very much, my parents are always anxious to hug their grandsons.
But no, if I didn't go to Taishan to study art, and didn't go to the capital after leaving the teacher, I'm afraid I would have married a wife and have children at home.
I miss my parents more and more in my heart. As the saying goes, my parents are there and I don’t travel far, but I’ve been traveling outside since I was twelve years old. , Anyway, the big master did not specify a time to go back.
One day, we entered the boundary of Shandong, and we walked further twenty miles to Lok Ma Po. I looked at Master Zhang and his group, and began to become extremely sensitive, my eyes opened everywhere, always looking at the black carriage in the middle.
I speeded up a few steps on my horse and came to the old man’s carriage.
