See you in the world

Chapter 221 Is there such a good thing?

Parents are here, if you don't travel far, you must travel well.

After meeting with Wang Bolin and the others that day, Yunjing decided on the direction of his study tour, going to the northern border!

There is a war going on at the border, it is very dangerous, and it is actually not an ideal place for a study tour, but Yunjing has considered it, and when he travels to the border, it will be in the cold winter, and all parties will have a truce at that time, so security is not a big problem.

The so-called going out is the rivers and lakes. There is no absolutely safe place in the world, so it doesn't matter where you go.

He spent ten full days preparing.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, the main reason is that it is a bit troublesome to convince his parents and family members. Yunjing did not hide his plan to go to the north to study. Deep concern is inevitable.

Yun Jing has been very assertive since he was a child, and he does not do things blindly and impulsively. Moreover, studying abroad is an experience that every scholar will have. In addition, he showed his military strength a little bit, and promised to write a letter every month to report his safety. Only then did Yunjing reluctantly agree to go to the north for a study tour.

Before setting off, Yunjing planned the route in detail. He wanted to see the scene of the border. This trip would take at least [-] miles on one side, and he would cross seven state capitals on the way.

Of course, the [-]-mile road is not a straight line.

In his plan, this trip will spend most of the time in small villages and small towns, and will not set foot in large towns. After all, the study tour is to truly see the sufferings of the people, not to go to comfort place to enjoy.

Accompanied by his family for a while, in the midsummer season, Yunjing traveled in plain clothes and embarked on the road of study tour under his family's thousands of orders.

He went on the road alone, without the book boy Song Yan, without riding a horse, or even Xiaobai. He wanted to use his feet to walk all over the mountains and rivers to measure the land.

He didn't bring many things, a back-style bookcase, inside the bookcase were several books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, a change of clothes, and some condiments. In addition, he also brought an umbrella, a sword, a hundred Money of ten taels of silver.

Student status is a must, and you need it to pass customs and enter the city on the road, and every time you go to a big place, you need to take your school status to the government to register and stamp it according to the situation. What accident happened, the government also has traces to follow to help find and trace it.

He really travels in plain clothes, even a poor traveler. One side is more than 8000 miles, and a hundred dollars is definitely not enough to spend, but he is not worried that if there is no money on the road, he will have nothing to do. It's not a big problem if you want to eat enough and sleep well.

Yunjing set off in the morning, so he didn't disturb his family, lest they worry and feel sad, and he didn't notify his friends to see him off. The scene of reluctantly saying goodbye always makes people unhappy.

Of course, he didn't run away quietly, he had been notified in advance.

When he came to the town yamen early in the morning, Yunjing showed his student status and went to a special place to report. He is a scholar in Niujiao Town. When he goes out to study, reporting is a necessary procedure. Otherwise, if the government has something to ask him but can't find anyone, After all, it is a troublesome matter.

When Yunjing went to the town yamen to file a report, he actually received a 50 taels of money as a financial subsidy. It was a surprise, but it was also one of the benefits for scholars.

50 taels, not a lot, you can buy two cows, so it makes sense for people in this world to sharpen their heads and want to study and get fame. Of course, this is only one time.

After a simple breakfast in Niujiao Town, Yunjing set off on the road to the north. He had to walk dozens of miles along the official road towards the county seat. If he didn't go to the county seat, he would set foot on the official road to the north halfway.

Leaving Niujiao Town, gradually there are fewer pedestrians on the road, but Yunjing is extraordinarily relaxed, and even has a feeling of traveling freely in the sea and sky. After all, he has been in Niujiao Town for more than ten years, and now he is really going out to see it. Great mountains and rivers in this world.

He had been to Fengyang County, Xinlin County, and Wangjiang County, but those times were all with purpose, not as relaxed and free as he is now, and his mentality is different after all.

"This trip, I don't know how many stories to experience and how many scenery to enjoy..."

Walking on the official road, Yunjing is full of expectations for the next journey.

He walked forward without using lightness kung fu, and his speed was not fast, which was about the same as that of ordinary people.

After traveling for more than ten miles from Niujiao Town, Yunjing Road met an old man who was driving a cart. The other party encountered difficulties. The bullock cart with a load of firewood couldn’t get out of a hole on the road, so he took the initiative to ask: "Does the elderly need help?"

The old man is more than 60 years old, wearing coarse cloth clothes with patches. He has seen Yunjing for a long time. He knew Yunjing's dress was a scholar he could not afford to offend. He even stopped driving and waited for Yunjing quietly. Jing left, never expecting that Yunjing would offer to help.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "No...no need, thank you for your kindness."

Facing Yunjing, he couldn't even speak fluently, and he didn't dare to promise Yunjing's help. After all, as a poor man, being able to talk to a scholar like Yunjing was already a blessing, so how dare he bother?

"Old man, it's okay, I have great strength, and your car is too heavy, the rocks in front of the wheels are stuck, and it's easy to break the wheels if you drive forcibly." Yun Jing pointed to the stuck wheel road.

The old man became even more anxious, shook his head and said, "Don't dare to bother my brother, I'll do it myself, if it doesn't work, I'll move the firewood on the car to the side of the road, and then move it up after the wheels come out. It won't take too much time."

Yun Jing understands the old man's feelings. After all, he himself is a child of poor parents. He compares his heart with his own, and replaces the old man with his former father or grandfather. If they encounter such a thing, if a scholar volunteers to help, there is a high probability that it will be him If you are troublesome and tired, you will refuse to help. After all, the gap between the poor and the educated is too great.

It is precisely because of understanding the mentality of the other party and doing what we can, why not do it.

So Yun Jing smiled, took two steps forward, grabbed the edge of the cart and pretended to be struggling to lift the cart, and then urged the ox pulling the cart, and the cart came out.

When he was pushing the cart, the old man was about to cry, and said anxiously: "How can this be, how can this be..."

"Okay, old man, the car has already come out, let me just say that I have great strength, let's go, let's leave now", leaving this sentence, Yunjing walked away.

It feels good to help someone as much as I can. Study tour is not just a simple walk and see, many things have to be involved, so as to achieve the real purpose of study tour. If you just walk around and see, just stay at home Forget about reading, there are everything in the book.

"Thank you, brother, for your help. I still have room in this bullock cart. If you don't mind, can I give you a ride?" Seeing that Yunjing finished helping and left without trouble, the old man summoned up his courage and said.

Stopping, Yunjing saw that there was still room on the bullock cart, since he could take the cart without walking, although it was slower, Yunjing was still happy, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble the old man."

"No trouble, no trouble, I still have to thank you. If it wasn't for my little brother's help, I wouldn't even be able to get the car out and go on the road normally for an hour," the old man said shyly. Relax.

The two got into the cart, and the ox cart set off slowly.

Yun Jing took the initiative to talk and said, "Old man, where are you taking all these firewood?"

"Go to the inn at the intersection of Sancha Road, I have to transport a carload of firewood there every day, and earn some money to subsidize my family," the old man quickly replied.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the smell of sweat on his body would dislike Yunjing, or because he was afraid that his saliva and bad breath would make Yunjing dislike him, he sat a little farther away and did not speak to Yunjing. He was simple and cautious and worked hard to do these details well. .

Nodding his head, Yun Jing said: "I've been to that inn before, and the business is good. The old man can take over his family's work of delivering firewood, so it will be much more relaxing if you want to come home."

"That's right. The owner of that inn is very nice. He never deducts the money for firewood. He often takes away leftovers for me. We can often eat meat at home." The old man laughed. Thank you very much for that inn.

If people give leftovers, let the old man be grateful and talk about others. This is the life of the poor people here. If it were many people in Yunjing's previous life, would they have leftovers?Who are you insulting, but you don't know how happy it is for the countless poor people here to eat meat occasionally, and the leftovers are delicious.

"So, the owner of that inn is quite kind, and he can make friends with him if he has the chance," Yun Jing nodded.

The old man took a cautious look at Yun Jing, and said, "The boss would be happy to make friends with a scholar like my brother."

"Let's talk about it, old man, I often hear that this road is not smooth, there are bandits blocking the road, have you ever encountered it?" Yun Jing changed the subject.

Back then, there were bandits in Qingliang Town, so it didn't make sense that it was so peaceful here.

The old man said: "Where can I never encounter it, but when people see me and say something nice, they don't make things difficult for me."

For such an answer, Yun Jing didn't know whether to say that those gangsters had a bottom line of conscience, or that they deserved to die, they didn't embarrass the poor, but they were doing illegal things...

The two chatted for a while, and the old man became much more natural. He couldn't help asking: "Brother, you were able to lift such a heavy ox cart before. Your strength is really great, and you can't tell it at all."

"It's okay, I have learned martial arts from my master since I was a child, and my strength is indeed stronger than ordinary people," Yun Jing said with a smile.

Nodding his head, the old man said: "My little brother has great abilities, but don't blame me for talking too much. You should be careful when you go out. It's not peaceful at the moment, especially because you are so outstanding. Don't be fooled by the girl." The bandit was robbed and went up the mountain."

"Is there such a good thing? No, I mean, bandits are still robbing people?" Yun Jing subconsciously said, and quickly changed his words.

The old man said: "Isn't this normal? Male bandits rob women, and female bandits grab men."

Well, Yun Jing said that there is nothing wrong with the old man's logic...

The two came to the inn at the intersection of the three forks in a bullock cart. The old Bo pulled the cart to deliver the goods, and separated from Yunjing. Yunjing had lunch here, and then set foot on the road to the north.

The encounter with the old man was just a small episode in the beginning of his study tour, but he still planned to record it in his travel notes.

Writing travel notes is a habit of many scholars here, and Yunjing decided to follow suit by recording their experiences.

A travel note is not a diary, even if you write about Yunjing, you are still a serious person...
