I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 84, Xi Shi

There is no moonlight tonight, but in the sky, the stars are twinkling, especially bright, like small lanterns hanging low in the night, very close to the earth.

Looking down from a high altitude, the thousands of lights in Yunshan City are flickering, and each light seems to correspond to a star in the sky.

Behind the dimly lit windows, there is noise and clamor... There are all kinds of joy and sorrow, they are like the jumping lights, small and weak, but tenacious, and contrast with the darkness of the boundless night. Resistance, erosion.

Yes, after the "false alarm" of the Tiefutu army, Yunshan City has returned to normal. Regardless of whether it is the general Xuantong or the rebel army, how to fight the official army, how to point the soldiers at the city, this is not too different from the people below. It doesn't matter, the life of the low-level people should be lived or must be lived.

The small courtyard rented by the Fang family.

In the yard, a bonfire was lit.

Next to it, Fang Rui was grilling meat, including mutton, beef, beef offal, etc., as well as condiments such as oil, salt, and cumin.

Zi la la!
Golden hot oil overflowed from the kebabs, and one or two drops fell into the campfire, crackling, but exuded a more alluring aroma, which made people salivate wildly.

"Brother, is the barbecue ready? I want to eat it!"

"My daughter wants to eat too!"

Two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, came over with firewood, looked at the golden skewers, and swallowed their saliva.

A few big dogs were also nearby, their eyes were stiff, their mouths were wide open, their tails were wagging wildly.

"Don't worry, right away."

Fang Rui smiled, and Fang Ling and Nannan said, "Go to the kitchen and see if the steamed stuffed bun is ready? Mother, third sister, and the others come over to eat together, and by the way, wash your hands too."

"oh oh!"

After hearing this, the two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, trotted and turned around: "Mother..."

in the kitchen.

In the cauldron, the wild vegetable tofu soup was bubbling and smelling, and the steamer next to it had just been opened, steaming, and the fragrant, white and soft buns had just come out of the oven, and Mrs. Fang Xue and San Niangzi were filling the pots.

"coming!"

When Mrs. Fang Xue brought a large bowl of steamed buns to the stone table, the third lady followed with her hands holding the hot rice wine wrapped in a cloth, and together with Fang Ling and Nannie who had washed their hands, the whole family was complete. .

"Brother Rui, there is still tofu soup in the pot..."

"Mother, don't worry about that, let's talk about it after eating! Alright, come and sit down!"

Fang Rui put a large amount of barbecued meat on the plate, and the rich aromas of various foods intertwined and turned into huge white smoke rising.

This dinner has just begun.

"Wow, brother, your grilled meat skewers are delicious!"

"good to eat."

The two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, ate so much that their mouths were full of oil, and their big dark eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

A few big dogs were lying next to them, sniffing anxiously around them to the left and right, not too obvious to please them.

But the two little girls who were the most generous to them in the past, today seemed "stingy and bara". Instead, they disliked them being in the way, and pushed them aside with a wave of their little hands. voice of aggrieved.

——In the past, generosity was something else, but meat... two little girls, since they were young, they have never eaten it too many times!I am reluctant, and dare not feed them meat, otherwise, I will definitely be scolded.

The big dogs had to change places. When they arrived at Fang Rui's place, they were appeased by a large piece of roasted beef bone, but just this made Fang Xue's heart ache.

"Beef bones can also be used to make soup! Forget it, it's not too wasteful to give them... Well, this barbecue is good." Fang Xue praised with crooked eyebrows.

"Let Brother Rui cook..." The third lady also seemed to like it very much, she stuck out her tongue coquettishly, a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? We are small and small, so we don't need to pay attention to those."

Fang Rui shook his head and smiled, put a steamed bun in his mouth, took a handful of meat skewers, brushed them with seasoning, and continued to grill.

He was also in a good mood: "I was away for the past two days, and I hunted a lot of good things, but it didn't taste like this, and it could only be regarded as filling my stomach.Nowadays, the family can truly enjoy delicious food when they are together! '

While eating, chatting.

Fang Rui stated his plan and continued on his way, completely leaving the drought and chaos in the three southern states.

Of course, it has not been confirmed yet, this is to seek the opinions of Mrs. Fang Xue and San Niangzi.

"In terms of money, it's enough; I'm not afraid of suffering. It's just..." The third lady looked at Fang Xueshi.

Fang Xueshi was silent for a while, and she really asked: "Brother Rui, let's go, what about your father's cemetery? During the holidays, there is no one who burns paper money..."

"this,"

Fang Rui smiled wryly, Fang Baicao's body was naturally impossible to take away with him: "Probably, we can only find someone to take care of it, and burn some paper money during the festival."

Fang Xueshi was silent for a while, and then said: "That's fine, let's do it like this!"

"Your father is already... Those who are alive must continue to live. If your father is alive, he naturally hopes to see us better."

She has no opinion here.

"Third Sister?" Fang Rui looked at Third Lady.

"Listen to you."

San Niangzi only has these three characters.

Even if they knew this promise, it would be a long journey, and they would have to endure untold hardships, but they all believed in him and did not hesitate.

"Then it's decided, our family will leave the three southern states." Fang Rui made up his mind, feeling that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.

'In this era, traveling is still quite dangerous. All kinds of lesions, acclimatization, and an accidental person will disappear. Of course, with my medical skills, I can take care of Gu Niang and the third sister without worrying about major problems. '

This is just the most basic, and more planning is needed. It is impossible to slap your ass and leave immediately.

It's not as easy as imagined, but with money and force, it's not as difficult as imagined.

"Jiang's caravan is a line, pull out radish and bring out mud, through the contacts of Jiang's caravan, you should be able to get a lot of help, I hope it won't be too troublesome..." Fang Rui thought to himself.

'Forget it, let's go find Mr. Jiang later! '

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and focused on his eyes: "Come on, mother, third sister, Nannan, Linger, these are baked too, let's eat them while they are hot!"

……

After dinner, Fang Rui went straight to a yard not far away to look for Jiang Yan.

After the map incident, he and Jiang Yan were considered acquaintances. Now, when we meet again, we no longer need Chen Guanshi as a middleman.

"Mr. Fang is leaving the three southern states?"

Jiangyan definitely doesn't have any maps of other states, but for a person like him, the approximate relationship between the states of Dayu is still clear: "The three states in the south of the drought this time, including our Yunzhou, are in the whole of Dayu. It belongs to the southwest, Mr. Fang doesn't want to stay in the Yun, Lin, and Yue prefectures, and there are Wu, Yi, and Kang prefectures nearby, which prefecture do you want to go to?"

"This... I don't have a plan for the time being. Let's see the situation of the caravan. As long as we leave the three states in the southern border, everything will be fine."

Fang Rui just wanted to leave the three states in the south. As for where he would go, he was still not sure. As long as there was no severe drought or war, his family could live a stable life.

'If you're really dissatisfied, you'll have to relocate when the time comes. The world is so big, I don't believe it, there's no real relative stability. ' he thought to himself.

"That would be more convenient."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly: "By the way, General Xuantong sent troops to Fucheng, and Daze Prefecture will be in chaos. The caravan will not go to Dazefu City as originally planned, but will go to Lanyang Fucheng next door."

"Mr. Fang, do you want to go together? Lanyang Mansion City needs to be more stable. When you arrive at Lanyang Mansion City, you can contact Mr. Fang with the caravan going to Zhou City, and then make a diversion."

"Okay, that's troublesome."

Fang Rui came to visit, and he had this purpose in mind, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Then it's settled."

Jiang Yan was also happy, with Fang Rui joining, the safety of the caravan was greatly improved: "Because the route is diverted to Lanyang Mansion, we need to make some additional preparations, purchases...will take a few days. Mr. Fang is not in a hurry If so, wait two days."

"it is good."

Fang Rui happened to have some things to prepare for.

Furthermore, once Tie Futu died, the siege of Yunshan City had been lifted. In this regard, there was really no need to worry.

……

the next few days.

Fang Rui also made some preparations, buying supplies; taking Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan to sweep Fang Baicao's grave every day;

He also entrusted a caravan to send a letter to Jiang Ping'an in Changshan City.

If it was true as Fang Rui guessed, the three states in the southern region were a huge murder, then I am afraid there will be some entanglements in the future. In the letter, he provided Jiang Pingan with a few ideas.

Of course, it is just an idea, without specific guidance, let the other party choose independently.

a few days later.

In the rising sun, Fang Rui's family left Yunshan City with Jiang's caravan.

Squeak!

Fang Rui turned his head and looked at the outline of Yunshan City in the golden light, and suddenly felt a dissatisfaction in his heart: "Li Xuantong, and that ruthless man from the Rebel Army, the grievances have not yet been settled, and even they haven't even seen each other!" '

'However, nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory, so there is no need to pursue perfection too much. '

He shook his head, and a strange premonition suddenly appeared in his heart: "I don't know why, I suddenly have a feeling that there may be a chance to meet these two people in the future. '

……

Coincidentally, at noon on the day Fang Rui and Jiang's caravan left, the news of Li Xuantong's breach of Daze Prefecture City came back and spread throughout the city, causing a great commotion.

"That is to say, the landslide a few days ago wiped out the army of Tiefutu and damaged the elite army in the mansion. Otherwise, how could it be so easy?" Someone could understand.

"That's right, people's luck is coming, and they can't be stopped. The luck of General Xuantong is even more unspeakable!" The other person nodded deeply.

"Just wait and see, once the prefectural city is broken, the other counties should wait and see."

"It seems that Li Xuantong is really going to accomplish something." This was Dayu's spy, his voice was extremely low.

"Hey, let's see what the above said! These people are right, and they are also to blame for the landslide, otherwise why did this happen?"

……

Fang Rui was gone, but there were still legends about him.

……

Tiger Leaping Gorge.

"Hoohoo!"

In the sky-shaking roar.

A tiger with wings on its back and a moon-white cloud pattern on its body rushed into the caravan. It opened its mouth and breathed out a bad wind, which made a large number of guards cry.

"No, it's a winged tiger!"

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

"Others step back, and the high-end guards will follow me!"

……

After a lot of shooting with bows and arrows, the entry-level guards followed closely with knives, but they were all thrown away by the winged tigers.

"Hold on! Hold on for a while!"

Chen Guanshi greeted, turned his head and shouted: "Hurry up and invite Mr. Fang!"

"No, I'm here!"

Fang Rui moved, and came quickly with the knife in his hand. He was quite speechless. Why did this person call out a very normal sentence, "Quickly invite the Tathagata Buddha"?

Swish!
He brought out an afterimage, intersecting with the winged tiger, and once the knife came out, life and death were separated, and the huge tiger's head rolled down with a click.

"You're bothering Mr. Fang again!"

Jiang Yan came forward to thank him personally, and gave a guarantee: "The caravans will buy these exotic animal meat at a high price just like before, and Mr. Fang can also exchange them for the medicinal materials of the previous year, and exchange them uniformly..."

Because of the wars in the various prefectures, soldiers have been sent everywhere, and the strange beasts are frightened, and the dangers along the way are also increasing. This is not the first time.

"Small matter, Mr. Jiang can deal with it as usual, I'm going back." Fang Rui waved his hand, turned and left.

Just now, the story was about to reach its climax when it came to an abrupt end. It was too late to go back, and the two little girls had another opinion.

After Fang Rui left, there was an awe-inspiring discussion among the caravan.

"Did you see it? It's that Mr. Fang, a super master!"

The man's voice was full of excitement, and his tone was full of admiration: "The strange beasts I have encountered so far, whether it is the winged tiger just now or before, have never made a move on that hand..."

"Yeah, this is the first strange beast that died in that person's hands. Didn't he kill a moire leopard a few days ago?" Another person muttered.

"Alright! Alright!"

An old guard reprimanded: "You little bastards, just have fun while you have an expert like Mr. Fang accompanying you!"

"Isn't it? In the past when merchants encountered strange beasts, there were dozens of people who didn't die!"

……

Under Fang Rui's escort, after more than half a month, the Jiang clan came to Lanyang City without any danger.

When they arrived here, Jiang Yan contacted the caravan for the Fang family to go to Zhoucheng, and Fang Rui's family continued on their way.

Oh, before parting, Fang Rui gave Jiang Yan a jade pendant as a souvenir to thank Jiang Yan for his love for the map back then and for his care these days.

Jiang Yan accepted it, but didn't take it too seriously.

After all, after this farewell, it will probably be difficult to meet Fang Rui again in this life.

go home.

Jiang Yan was playing with this jade pendant, and a concubine saw it and asked what it was.

"A memento left by a strange man."

He smiled, and directly gave the jade pendant to the concubine: "Since you saw it, I will give it to you, and I promise you this fate."

"Lang Jun..." The concubine wanted to say more.

On the other hand, Jiang Yan waved his hands openly: "If I say yes to you, then I will give it to you, there is no need to say any more."

"Yes, sir."

The concubine was overjoyed: "I let the child hang on, my lineage will be passed down from generation to generation..."

At this time, neither Jiang Yan nor this concubine knew that this relationship was more precious than all the wealth of the entire Jiang family combined.

Because, this section of fate is called 'Xianyuan'.

……

Changshan County.

Gah!Gah!Gah!
Wild geese flew by, the autumn wind was bleak, and chrysanthemums fell all over the ground.

Standing in front of the window, Jiang Ping'an opened the letter from Fang Rui: "It's been a month and a half, how is Brother Jiang?"See words like faces, spread letters like meeting...'

In the letter, Fang Rui wrote about his own business, his father Fang Baicao's business, his departure from the three states in the southern border, and finally, cryptic reminders and suggestions...

"Brother Fang is... completely gone!"

Jiang Pingan stood for a long time, poured a bowl of wine, and poured it in the direction of Yunshan City.

"Father, why are you crying?"

"Yeah yeah!"

At this moment, Niu Tun and Xiaodou Sprout jumped up and down.

"The wind blinds my eyes."

Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled, leaned over to pick a few chrysanthemums, put them on the heads of the two children, held one in each hand, turned and walked into the house: "In two days, I will take you and your mother , go to the countryside to live with your grandma for a year or two, okay?"

"Uh-huh!"

The two little ones nodded their heads vigorously, and there was a red line on each neck, which was the jade pendant Fang Rui had given him before he left.

……

In the sky, there was a round of red sunset on the mountain, and the light also dimmed. The night gradually fell, like the curtain on the stage.

Gah!Gah!Gah!
In the distance, the wild geese fly to the ends of the earth. There are mountains beyond the mountains, towering and towering;

Of course, there are many, many stories that are just beginning.
