Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 116 Zaoshan Town

The chaos in the north goes away with the waves, and the prosperity in the south is just around the corner.

Shanghai is the most prosperous city in this era and on this land—of course, it is also the most chaotic and bizarre city.

Foreigners, concessions, gangs, opium, factories, schools, telegraph offices, all new and old, good and bad, interweave and collide here to form the most vivid colors.

Shanghai is at the forefront of this era and this land.

Because of its eccentricity, it was named after the city of magic.

If it is said that [-]% of the capital is old and [-]% new, then Shanghai is [-]% new.

After Lu Heng and the others got off the boat and only stayed in Shanghai for one day, they already deeply felt the big difference between this city and the capital.

It's like a huge dyeing vat with colorful and colorful inside.It looks like a stinky ditch, but it also looks like a pot of delicious food.

Something extremely contradictory is brewing inside.

But Lu Heng didn't have time to do too much personal experience.Shanghai is not his destination.

After a short stay, Lu Heng and his party left Shanghai and headed for West Jiangxi.Lin Heier stayed here.For Lin Heier, Shanghai gave her an extremely strong sense of novelty, which was very different from Tianjin and Beijing Normal University.She immediately felt that what Lu Heng said might be true.

If there is anything that can be changed in the world, Shanghai must be one of the first places where changes are brewing.

Lu Hengting agreed with her to stay in Shanghai - he went to Ganxi because he had his own business to do, reunited with the family, reunited with the women, and focused on stability for a short time.

Lin Heier followed him and got nothing.Staying in Shanghai, maybe this city will bring some different changes to this leader who is illuminated by red lights.

I planned to buy a few horses, but horses are not easy to buy in Shanghai; bicycles are also available, but this kind of transportation, which is called foreign horses, may not be practical-going to Ganxi, leaving the Yangtze River Delta , there are many mountains along the way, and the road conditions may not be very good. No matter how powerful the horse is, it will not be able to run.

First went to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The so-called heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, in poetry, this place is excellent.There are gardens with Jiangnan characteristics, West Lake and Broken Bridge.

But more of them are ordinary people.

Suzhou and Hangzhou are the largest weaving areas in the south of the Yangtze River.Since the Ming Dynasty, this place has been the center of the weaving industry.At the beginning, they made a lot of money from the Japanese and Westerners!

The Jinling Bai family has a warehouse in Suzhou called Baishantang.

When I first met Bai Xiongqi, I had a few words.

Lu Heng did not stop in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

On the contrary, when I passed by, I saw some Suzhou gardens, which were quite elegant and quiet. I thought that if I could buy one, it would be good to live in.But that's all.

After passing Hangzhou, travel southwest to Jinhua, and then go west, passing through Quzhou, Xinzhou, Yingtan, and Fuzhou, and the destination is far away.

Lu Heng's teacher, the place where Wei Heyi's old Taoism once practiced, is in Gezao Mountain.After passing Fuzhou, more than two hundred miles to the west is Gezao Mountain.

Wei Heyi's vein belongs to the Gezao sect, but it is not the main sect, it is a hidden vein.It is not in the same place as the main sect on Gezao Mountain, it is an unknown Taoist temple separated by several hills.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, called Zaoshan Town, which is only one word away from Geshan Town near the main sect.

When Lu Heng arrived in Zaoshan Town, it had been a month since he set off from Shanghai.It was the end of February and soon March.

This journey is not fast - mainly because Ma San and the others delayed Lu Heng's journey. If he was tall, the mountain road would be difficult, and it would only take three to five days at most.

Zaoshan Town is not big, and one street can be seen from one end to the other at a glance.Probably only a few hundred families.

So you don't need to look for it, just stop a passerby, ask a little, and immediately know where Gong Lan lives.

At one end of the town against the mountain, there is a yard that is not too big or too small.

When Lu Heng walked to the door, he heard the chirping of Yingyingyanyan inside.It was quite familiar, it was the voices of the maids in the Beijing family.

Knock at the door, and it is the stone that opens the door.

Seeing that it was Lu Heng, Shi Shi revealed a look of surprise: "Boss!"

With a loud roar, the whole room was shocked.I saw Jiu'er and Huang Chun'er running out with a few maidservants.

Huang Chun'er is a soft-tempered girl, her eyes turn red when she sees Lu Heng.Jiu'er was even more courageous, and went straight up and hugged Lu Heng's arm.

Lu Heng is very happy, they are all here, all are good, very good.

Gong Lan also came out, she was wearing Kung Fu practice clothes, she just practiced martial arts in the backyard.

Gong Lan's temperament is colder, but the affection in her eyes is beyond words.

Without further ado, he entered the room first.

Seeing Ma San, Gong Lan asked how the Gong family was doing as they walked.For more than a year, the news of the Gong family has been telegraphed through Lu Heng, with only a few words.

And in a year, the telegram is only communicated a few times.

I miss it very much.

Ma San roughly picked up some nice things, he didn't say that Gong Da was beaten to death in the ring, and he didn't say anything about what happened after Lu Heng went to Fengtian.He felt that Lu Heng should tell Gong Lan those words.

After a few words, they entered the room, and a group of people surrounded Lu Heng.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let's all spread out."

Huang Chun'er frantically brought the teapot early, and Jiu'er poured tea.

Ma San and the others sat aside a little cautiously.

After talking to Jiu'er and Huang Chun'er, Lu Heng took Gong Lan to look carefully, with a constant smile on his face.Not seeing each other for more than a year, Gong Lan seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden.The face has also grown - although it is still a palm-sized oval face, the body has also grown a lot taller.

"Good."

He nodded.

Said: "Everyone is fine, and I didn't suffer much."

Huang Chundao hummed, and Jiu'er said, "It's pretty good here, quiet, not too much going on, and leisurely."

Can you not be quiet!
This kind of semi-enclosed mountain town has few people and less nonsense. Compared with the capital, it is not prosperous, but it is not dangerous, and there are few troubles, so it can be called leisurely.

After a few words, Lu Heng talked about the business: "I planned to come to the west of Jiangxi to celebrate the New Year. I received a letter from my father-in-law in the last month of the year. I left the capital and went to the northeast. I have already telegraphed this matter. I must have known it. I arrived Dongbei discussed a few things with Yue Zhang, and this time Brother Ma and I went south is one of them."

He said to Gong Lan: "Yue Zhang asked Senior Brother Ma to bring you a letter, so go and catch up with Senior Brother Ma."

Gong Lan hummed.

Lu Heng doesn't plan to talk about many things about the Gong family here.Wait for the right time, such as in the dead of night, and then talk to Gong Lan slowly.

After all, the death of Gong Da, the current situation of the Gong family, and the chaotic situation in the Northeast are not good news for Gong Lan.

Gong Lan and Ma San asked about the Gong family in detail, and asked about her parents' current situation.But she was cold-tempered, and after a few words, she had nothing to say.

Lu Heng chatted with Huang Chun'er and Jiu'er here, and asked about Zhu Dachui's situation, and said that the only regular blacksmith's shop in the town was opened by Zhu Dachui.He is completely settled down.

I asked Jiu'er if she was used to it, but she didn't care much, she just said that she was a little flustered when she was idle.

Lu Heng said that he would invite Zhu Dachui to have a meal later, to reminisce and chat.

When Ma San and Gong Lan finished speaking, Ma San got up and said he was leaving.

It wasn't to be polite or to go, but the yard didn't look big enough, and they might not be able to live there, so they said they would find a place to live when they went out.
