See you in the world

Chapter 581 Fishing by the River
The sun is shining brightly, there is no snow in the middle of winter, there is wind, it is slightly warm, and occasionally withered grass dances with the wind...

It has been ten days since he came back from the county to congratulate Lin Yexing. The rare reunion is over, and life must continue.

In the small courtyard on the outskirts of Niujiao Town, Yun Jing put down the scroll in his hand, looked up at the sky, there was no smile on his face, this winter, until today, there has never been snow on the earth.

Such a climate is abnormal and disturbing.

Not only that, according to Yunjing's observation, the water levels of many surrounding rivers and streams are dropping. Although the water level drops in winter is normal, but this year's water level has dropped much more than in previous years. The stones on the river bottom are exposed and turn white in the sun. There is a tendency to dry out completely!
Even the water level of the Lijiang River, which runs almost across the entire Dali Dynasty, is dropping. You must know that it is a vast Lijiang River with a width of tens of miles. Even if the water level drops by one meter, it is a terrifying figure...

Such an abnormal situation, not to mention Yunjing, is because everyone feels that something is wrong, fearing a catastrophe, and the atmosphere of the people has become inexplicably depressed.

God's affairs cannot be controlled by manpower, and people can only wait for the follow-up changes, but in this climate, many aspects have begun to be affected to a certain extent, not to mention other things, the price of food on the market is quietly rising, and a catty of food is more expensive than It's usually [-]% more expensive, which doesn't seem like much, but what about the world?
Bai Zhi went to the town to run a shop, and her small shop has not been affected much for the time being.

Yunjing's life has not been affected much, he mainly studies every day, and the road to the imperial examination has not yet reached his goal, he still has to strive for the status of Jinshi, so he must not slack off in his studies for a day.

At noon that day, Song Yan, who was Yunjing's personal book boy, came to the small courtyard. Knowing that Yunjing was not in a good mood, Song Yan put away his smile and looked solemn.

"Master, there is the latest news about the situation you asked me to pay attention to. The first snowfall in the north since the beginning of winter is not good news, because that snowfall only lasted for half a day, and the amount of snowfall was very small. One inch, it will melt away in the sun soon," Song Yanhui reported with a complicated expression.

Even though his position is humble, a small person like him gradually feels an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere, which makes people feel a little breathless.

Yun Jingjing nodded to express his understanding. Such a situation had been expected long ago, so he didn't mention it too much, but instead asked, "What did I tell you to do?"

"Master, the things you ordered have been continuing. Up to now, through the relationship of the Jin family, we have quietly hoarded hundreds of millions of catties of grain and stored them in various places, mainly in warehouses in the town, and some of them in the county, because We acted early and low-key, without attracting any attention," Song Yan replied.

Upon hearing such an answer, Yunjing said: "Well, well done"

"Master, now that food prices are rising, should we continue?" Song Yan hesitated. There are hundreds of millions of catties of food, and one person can't finish it all by himself. He doesn't know what Yunjing needs so much food for. , and dare not ask.

Regarding this question, Yunjing said: "There is never too much food, find a way to stock up more food, the premise is not to cause market turmoil because of us, you just need to follow the normal market price."

"Little one understands," Song Yan took a deep breath and said.

Yun Jing instructed: "And today the food is dry, so pay attention to fire prevention in the place where the food is stored."

Fire prevention is common sense, but Yunjing couldn't help telling him that so much food would turn into useless fly ash in the event of a fire.

"Young master, don't worry, we are always paying attention to fire prevention, and there are special patrols every day," Song Yan said in a deep voice. Normal people know the importance of fire prevention.

The importance of food is self-evident. The current climate makes it difficult for Yunjing not to think of terrible consequences. It is definitely right to be prepared. Naturally, he cannot eat so much food, but once the imagined situation happens, Food will be of great use.

Of course, for Yunjing, it would be best not to have the imagined situation. For him, left and right are just a loss of some money, and they can be sold to cash out, so it will not be a big loss.

Money in your hands is no different from scrap iron, only by replacing it with useful things can the value of money be reflected.

Without mentioning this, Yunjing changed the subject and asked, "What about other aspects, is there anything worth noting?"

"Master Hui, there are many things worth noting. I won't talk about it in the distance. The situation in several surrounding countries is getting worse, and our Dali territory is not peaceful. Rumors of the Burial Sword Mountain inheritance are everywhere. Chaos everywhere, turmoil in the world, many There are also rumors of the appearance of the Tianzi Sword in the local area. The shaking in the court cannot be suppressed, and there are rebellions and rebels in the west. The third prince brought 200,000 troops to quell the rebellion. The stalemate has persisted, and the specific follow-up has not yet been announced..." Song Yan reported the situation he learned to Yun Jing in detail.

Although Yunjing also understands the situation of all parties through his own means, there are always things that cannot be taken into account. It is necessary for Song Yan to check and make up for omissions on the spur of the moment.

After listening, Yunjing sighed in a complicated tone: "It's an eventful autumn", and then said: "I remember that the school in the town is almost on holiday these two days? You tell Uncle Liu and the others to come and send Xiaodong and the others home. Xiaodong and the others convey my thoughts, don’t wander around when you have nothing to do when you go back.”

"Good young master", Song Yan nodded and said, he probably understood that Yunjing would not be going home these few days, and he had no time to spend time with his family due to his years of style, so he had his own arrangements, but what Yunjing would do as a next step He is not qualified to ask.

In fact, Yunjing doesn't have any important things at the moment, but his heart is heavy and depressed. He doesn't want to bring such emotions home. His family knows him very well. No matter how much he hides his emotions, he will inevitably be seen. If the family members are worried Oh no.

After some communication, there was nothing else to do, Yun Jing said: "Okay, you can go to work."

Song Yan did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Young master, I am a little talkative, recently I heard that the three Jianghu sects in our Xinlin County seem to be a little disharmonious. There are frictions, especially Fengdaomen and Tieqiangtang, who are obviously joining hands to target the Willow Leaf Sword Sect, obviously because of Young Master Lin, the Willow Leaf Sword Sect has put pressure on them."

After he finished speaking, Yun Jing calmly said: "I see, these are not things we should care about. They make trouble with them, as long as it doesn't affect the people, we don't need to care about it. Besides, there are government officials, so it's not our turn to worry about it."

Unable to understand Yun Jing's thoughts, Song Yan said: "Young one is talking too much, don't disturb the young master, I will leave you."

After Song Yan left, Yun Jing pondered for a while, and continued to read and study as if nothing had happened, and his daily life was not affected by various information.

It's not good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Although the Willow Leaf Sword Sect and the Shen family in the north are now closely related, the sky is high and the road is far away. The development of the Willow Leaf Sword Sect will take time, and the other two parties will not sit still and watch its rise pressed on his head.

Nowadays, public affairs are public and private, and Lin Xingyu and Lin Yexing are siblings. Leaving this aside, the Liuye Sword Sect and Lin Yexing don't have much to do with each other. Based on these, Tieqiangtang and Fengdaomen dare to be blatant As for the Willow Leaf Sword Sect, even if it is destroyed, as long as they don't go too far with Lin Xingyu, the Lin family will not say anything, after all, this is how it is in the world.

Some things, some people, always have to give an explanation. After all, it’s not a solution to stay so unclear. Let’s take some time to go for a walk these days...

Yun Jing, who was reading a book, said so with one mind and two minds.

Recently, another city with 100,000 people was turned into a dead zone in the territory of the Sangluo Dynasty. There were only a few survivors in the city. The mythical realm of the matter is a bit burnt out, and at the same time extremely angry, who is doing the angry thing that day?

In the main hall of the imperial palace, Wu Qingmei sat high on the dragon chair with a frosty face, looking down at the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty who faltered and couldn't come up with any effective solutions, secretly thought that no one in the whole country could relieve my worries, how ridiculous!

If that person was there, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so entangled...

Wu Qingmei's mind flashed a figure who was always flattered and humiliated. After another discussion with no results, she was distraught and resolutely announced her withdrawal from the court. She was annoyed to see those guys who can eat the king's salary but can't share the king's worries.

The Dali Dynasty takes him very seriously, and the masters in the Mythical Realm are always watching over him to prevent accidents, so can they use diplomatic means to let the Dali Dynasty release him and ask him to help?
Wu Qingmei couldn't stop this idea suddenly popping up in his mind, but this matter has to be considered in the long term, it must be known that the Sangluo Dynasty does not have much say in front of the Dali Dynasty, and the gap between the two sides in the First World War last year was too great.

In a weak country, many things are helpless, and one has to be cautious when borrowing an individual. Besides, that person is considered so important, how can he be easily put in danger?

It was another morning, Yunjing and Baizhi sat opposite each other and had breakfast, chatting with each other during the meal.

I picked up a piece of radish for Yunjing Wanli, saw him chewing hard, but his eyes were a little lost, and his brows did not relax, Bai Zhi couldn't help asking: "Is there anything bothering you, the official?"

Yunjing can't hide his emotions in front of close people. Hearing this, Yunjing took a sip of porridge and said, "I don't have any troubles. It's just that it's been a few days of peace, and now everywhere is not peaceful. It's just emotion"

The pickles made of pickled radish strips and chili noodles stimulate the taste buds. It is crisp and delicious, and it is the most suitable for porridge.

"Yes, peace is rare, but there are always disturbances, peace is rare, things that are too far away from us can't change anything, why should the officials bother themselves", Bai Zhi comforted.

Smiling, Yun Jing said: "Forget it, let's take one step at a time, life will always go on, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless"

"Well, the officials are somewhat unhappy, why not go out for a walk to relax," Bai Zhi suggested.

After finishing the porridge in the bowl, Yun Jing put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief from Bai Zhi, wiped his mouth and said, "I've only been back for a while, and I don't want to go out for a while, Xiaobai doesn't need to worry too much, my husband has his own way to relieve boredom."

Getting up and pouring him a cup of mouthwash, Bai Zhi smiled and said, "So, the officer is going fishing again today?"

"Of course, fishing can make people feel peaceful, and it's also a good way to cultivate one's morality," Yun Jingting nodded.

During this period of time, he often went fishing, and the position was fixed, which was almost a daily habit, and it was also at this time that he would concentrate and not think so much for the time being.

Pursing her lips, Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing and said: "Then today's official, don't return empty-handed. The concubine's materials have already been prepared, and I'm just waiting for the official to come back with something to make soup for you."

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Yun Jing said firmly: "It's not that I can't catch fish because of my husband, it's because I chose the wrong position, and the fish are lazy and don't like to bite the hook this season."

How can you say that you can't catch fish in the matter of fishermen, there must be a reason, and it is definitely not on yourself!

"Since the location is wrong, why don't the officials change to another place?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile.

Yun Jing immediately snorted and said: "Youdao is to lie down wherever you fall, no, get up wherever you get up, I don't believe that you can't catch fish there, for my husband and there!"

"Well, the concubine wishes the officials a fruitful return today." Bai Zhi was overjoyed, but she still comforted her, and while she was talking, she cleared the table.

After eating and drinking enough, Yun Jing got up and hugged her, and then said: "Then I went fishing for my husband, Xiaobai, just wait, see if my husband doesn't catch a hundred or eighty of them today."

After talking about Yunjing, he let her go to pack up the fishing gear. Today, try fishing with beans soaked in rice wine prepared yesterday, and change to a different kind of bait. I don't believe I can't catch it!

After tidying up Yunjing, she carried a bunch of things and went out. Baizhi was going to run a store and was not with her.

As Yun Jing said before, during this period of time, his fishing spots were all fixed, and instead of catching fish, he fed them instead. But it doesn’t matter, his fishing is not the purpose, the main purpose is to divert his attention so that he doesn’t There are so many, otherwise it is not easy to take the whole fish home?
The fishing spot is not around Niujiao Town, but a small river twenty or thirty miles away from Niujiao Town. This distance is not a problem for Yunjing. rush to.

Leaving the town, Shi Shiran walked on the road, looking around, the world was bleak under the sun, even in the middle of winter, the grass and trees were so withered and yellow that it could be said that a spark would cause a prairie fire.

According to Yunjing's knowledge, more than a dozen fires have occurred around Niujiao Town recently, and one time it almost ignited the forest.

During this period of time, the government really took great pains to promote the awareness of fire prevention. The 'Water Dragon Team' is on standby at any time, but in this era, news transmission is very slow. Often when the Water Dragon Team arrives, the fire is almost burnt out. Reduce fire spread.

Not far from the town, Yunjing met a man resting on the side of the road. The man looked 50 years old with gray hair. He was resting on the road with his brows tightly furrowed, looking up at the sky with dazed and desolate eyes.

Beside him was a big pannier, which was full of charcoal, which was obviously going to be sold in the town.

"This old man has invited you. The younger generation sees that you are frowning, but you are in some trouble, do you need help?" Yun Jing thought for a while, walked over and asked.

When the other party saw Yun Jing's dress, he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately got up and said anxiously: "This young master has a heart, the little old man has not encountered any trouble, so he dare not bother the nobleman."

That's what he said, but how could Yunjing not know why he was bothered, it was nothing more than the reason for the warm winter, in the final analysis it was "worried about charcoal and cheap and wishing for the weather to be cold", he has seen many such things these days.

So Yun Jing said: "Old man, your charcoal is of good quality, but is it for sale?"

"It's for sale, it's just... hey...", the old man nodded, but said with a bitter smile, and looked at Yunjing with some expectations, but he didn't dare to go deep into the extravagant expectations.

Nodding, Yun Jing said: "In this case, old man, what do you think of this situation, the younger generation just lacks charcoal at home, please send me a trip, it is in front of Niujiao Town, not far away, the younger generation has something to do, so I won't go with you Yes, you can just say hello to the concierge when you arrive, the price will be calculated according to the market price, and you will not be treated badly."

"Young master, you won't lie to me?" The old man was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

Yun Jing said: "How dare you, this junior is serious."

"That's great, the little old man will send it to the young master," the old man said happily.

Then Yunjing gave him the address in detail, and then watched the old man walking away with a hundred catties of charcoal on his back, feeling a little bit uncomfortable in his heart, and if he could, he could help.

During this period of time, Yunjing always did this when encountering similar things. At the beginning, because Yunjing was admitted to the first place in the Jiangzhou Juren Examination, the small courtyard in the town now has several rooms piled up with charcoal alone...

It's true that Yunjing is just wandering around for nothing, just deliberately meeting those who are in urgent need of help, normal help, too much.

After a brief stay, Yunjing continued to go fishing. During the period, he met several people who sold firewood and charcoal. Yunjing accepted all the orders, and two of them were obviously waiting for Yunjing on the road...

Delay here for a while, stay there for a while, until noon Yunjing came to the fixed fishing spot, not far from the official road, relatively remote.

In such an era, probably only a person like Yunjing who has no worries about food and clothing is able to go out to fish leisurely. However, who in ordinary households is not running around day and night to make a living?Where is the life to enjoy the leisure time, you are already overwhelmed by the heavy life.

After arriving at the fishing spot, Yunjing did the preparatory work in an orderly manner, put away the stools, lit a fire and made tea...

Again, it's not his purpose to come fishing, but just to relax his uncomfortable mood. Bai Zhi knows that Yunjing is not unable to catch fish and cannot share his worries, so he can only support Yunjing in any activities.

Looking at the small river in front of him, Yunjing felt emotional, the water level had dropped by more than half a foot compared to yesterday.

Under normal circumstances, the water of this river will overflow in many places, but now the water of this river has dropped by more than one meter, exposing the banks on both sides and some tidal flat rocks. , the water depth is less than two meters, if it continues, I don’t know when it will dry up completely!
Silently adjusting the float, throwing the pole into the water, Yunjing sat quietly on the bank and waited for the fish to take the bait. His attention was not on the float, but on the books in his hand, fishing and reading both.

In the place where Yunjing is located, more than ten miles away, there stands a kind of hilltop with a height of several hundred meters. From a distance, there are faintly visible pavilions and pavilions on the mountain, and the official road is not far away. A few miles away, there is a branch road leading to that mountain...

For many days in a row, he came to fish, but this fish was not that fish, and he was waiting for someone rather than fishing.

At noon, in the direction of the county seat, there were more than a dozen fast horses galloping along the official road, and with the sound of hooves, a cloud of dust splashed up where they passed.

The costumes of the knights on the backs of these horses are similar, their clothes are mainly in blue with blue brocade trim, and they are dressed as quacks, and the styles of long swords around their waists are relatively uniform.

They don't look very old, the youngest is only in their teens, and the oldest one looks to be in his early thirties.

This group of people came on horseback from the direction of the county seat. They didn't have many smiles on their faces, but their expressions were solemn, and several of them were obviously wounded. The faint smell of blood and herbs filled the air, adding a bit of murderous aura.

A woman in the crowd was particularly eye-catching, with a slender figure and a plum-like face. Some men who accompanied her occasionally glanced at her and quickly avoided them. The love in their eyes was well hidden.

They know that the woman is not qualified to pursue by themselves, and they have long since stopped thinking about it. Even if the emotion arises, they can only bury it deep in their hearts and let the time slowly wash away.

"The iron gun hall is getting more and more excessive. What happened today is clearly caused by them deliberately provoking trouble and hurting some of our senior brothers. Although they have retreated, they will definitely not stop here. They will definitely find another opportunity to find fault." Someone said indignantly during the rush.

The other person gritted his teeth and said: "The Fengdaomen is similar. In just a few days, there have been five big and small fights. Both sides have suffered casualties, but they still keep picking things up. They just don't want to give us any chance to breathe. "

"Recently, the Fengdaomen Iron Gun Hall has targeted us everywhere. We are understaffed and exhausted. Many businesses have to be contracted and let go. What can we do if this continues?"

"Hmph, they are in a hurry and feel the pressure, trying to suppress us. This period of time is the most critical, as long as we get through it, there will be plenty of time and means to deal with them," someone said in a deep voice.

In fact, everyone understands the root cause, but the current situation is not optimistic.

Subconsciously, people's eyes focused on the particularly eye-catching woman in the team. It was obvious that she was the backbone of the group.

The woman's face is beautiful and unsmiling, and her beautiful eyes always reveal a sense of distance, but this sense of distance is aimed at men.

At this time, she said: "Brothers, you don't need to worry too much. It will take a while to see how they continue to dance. The Wind Sword Gate and the Iron Spear Hall are nothing to worry about. From now on, we have to take a long-term view. The real Challenges are yet to come"

Hearing the words, everyone was overjoyed, knowing that she would not be aimless, and she must be sure to say such a thing. Thinking of the future, everyone's eyes yearned and looked forward to it.

While walking forward, the woman's eyes suddenly paused, and then she looked in a certain direction and couldn't take her eyes off, subconsciously said: "Brothers, you go back first..."
