Ping An Biography

Chapter 15 The most difficult thing to beat is yourself

From Huaiyin Station in Huai'an City, the next stop is the station on the east bank of the Yellow River, which is Xuzhou.They came out of Nanjing, which belonged to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. After two days and two nights, they were about to enter the Yellow River Basin, and the speed was quite fast.The ancient transportation made Zhang Ning feel the efficiency of traveling by train. Of course, this can only be the speed of a messenger. If you need to bring things for ordinary travel, it is completely incomparable.

Running on the plains of Jiangsu, on both sides of the post road are crop fields, woods, and villages, where farmers, cattle, sheep, chickens, and dogs move slowly.Seeing the pace of life of those people, Zhang Ning couldn't help but think of the long life and vicissitudes of life.But he himself was galloping on horseback impatiently, this kind of situation seemed familiar, just like the busy life in his previous life, he found that life had come to an end after being busy, and he couldn't stop and stop.

At this time the horses suddenly slowed down and gradually stopped.Zhang Ning blurted out and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Yaoniang got off the horse, pinched a small stack of rice paper, turned her head and glared at him: "Don't worry! Watch the horse wait for me." After saying that, she ran into the woods.Zhang Ning thought, probably going to the toilet.

He waited for Luo Yaoniang to come back, only to see that her face was pale and she was covering her stomach with one hand, the two continued on their way, her hand was pressed on her stomach for a long time without saying a word.Zhang Ning asked kindly: "Have a bad stomach? Let's eat the same thing, I'm fine." Luo Yaoniang replied in a bad tone: "Twitter chatter chatter, are you annoying!" Zhang Ning had to shut up after hearing this.

After a long time, I didn't see her go into the woods again, so it seems that she didn't have a bad stomach.Zhang Ning suddenly realized that this girl is coming to be a big aunt!Holding his stomach should be dysmenorrhea, of course he has never had pain, but according to his previous life, some women have very severe dysmenorrhea, and they need to take painkillers if they can't bear it.It's really a problem at a critical moment. No wonder even a modern country where men and women are equal doesn't require women to serve in the military. If a lot of people suddenly come to the aunt during a war, wouldn't the combat effectiveness drop sharply?But Luo Yaoniang seemed to be quite strong, she didn't say a word, and the speed of riding the horse didn't slow down.

At this time, Luo Yaoniang took a water bag from the horse, pulled the plug and put it to her mouth. Seeing this, Zhang Ning couldn't help persuading: "Cold water, just drink as little as possible to moisten your mouth." Luo Yaoniang took a sip and was speechless After a while, she came back to it, tilting her head slightly with a smile on her face: "You know a lot."

The so-called house leak coincided with continuous rain all night, and Zhang Ning felt that his good luck ran out when he escaped that night. He looked up at the gray sky, the clouds were low, and it looked like it was going to rain.He couldn't help sighing, "It's better not to rain."

Unexpectedly, it happened by coincidence, as soon as the voice fell on his face, he felt a little cold, and the raindrops were blowing in the wind.Luo Yaoniang said angrily: "Crow's mouth, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Zhang Ning said in amazement: "Even if I don't say it, it should be done, does it have anything to do with it?"

While bickering, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the two of them quickly got drenched.Zhang Ning reminded: "Your physical condition has been exposed to the autumn rain for a long time, can you bear it? Should we find a place to hide?" Luo Yaoniang said: "I don't know when it will stop, it will take a whole We can't stay here for a whole day. Maybe there are people chasing after us, and you won't hide from the rain." Zhang Ning said: "It rains in certain areas, maybe after running for a while, there will be no rain before."

It was already late at night, and after the rain, the sky became darker and darker, and the night would come earlier.In the wind and rain, Zhang Ning was shivering from the cold. He felt that his problem was not a big one, but it was a little mysterious whether the stubborn Luo Yaoniang could hold on. If she fell down, it would be a big trouble.He then asked, "Do you want me to cover your stomach with my hands? My hands are hot."

Luo Yaoniang didn't speak, but Zhang Ning took her as acquiescence, so he stretched out a hand from her waist, lifted the hem of her blouse and put his hand in.The smooth abdomen felt like satin, but it was icy cold, so he covered it with his open palms.Men's hands may be rough, but they are very warm.Even he himself could feel the warmth of his palms being transferred to her abdomen, and after a while, the skin was not as cold as it was just now.

Suddenly, I feel that this situation is very warm. There are no people on the road during the rainy night. Although the rain is cold and the wind is cold, here are two people who will not be alone and can keep each other warm.Zhang Ning stretched out his other hand to wrap her arms around her waist, and pressed his chest tightly against her back. He could clearly feel Luo Yaoniang's body trembling slightly, but she didn't make a sound, neither did she. No resistance.She was actually in Zhang Ning's arms.

This girl has plump breasts|buttocks with meat, but no excess meat on her waist. She has a pretty good figure, and her waist and fat|buttocks are roughly like this shape.Zhang Ning can wrap her waist around with one arm, and he has actually explored the lines of the upper body almost, but he didn't touch her breasts, that's not good, and it's out of the scope of heating.

The fast horse shuttled through the rain for at least two hours before the rain stopped. I don't know if the rain stopped at first or if it ran out of the rainy area.Although the rain stopped, the clothes were so wet that water could be wrung out.By early morning, they had not slept for two days and two nights.Zhang Ning felt that the speed of the galloping horse was getting slower and slower, and Luo Yaoniang in his arms was limp. After a while, he reached out to touch her forehead and felt that his hand was hot. She must have been heavily dyed cold.He hurriedly asked, "Are you uncomfortable? Stop for a while."

Luo Yaoniang gave a "hmm" and reined in the horse as she said.Zhang Ning immediately jumped off the horse, stepped forward to look, and saw that her face was pale, even her lips were white, and her face was sick.Zhang Ning hurriedly supported her and carried her off the horse. Her body was so weak that Zhang Ning helped her sit on the side of the road, and turned back to get a water bag from the horse.After taking a sip of water, Luo Yaoniang said in a low and hoarse voice, "Headache is cracking, I have no energy..." Zhang Ning said nonsense, "You are sick."

Luo Yaoniang closed her eyes and exhaled a few breaths, and said after a while: "I can't continue on my way, or I will be caught up sooner or later, and you leave me to go to Beijing by yourself... In the past two days, what have you seen me let the horse go? Let it stop...these posthorses are tamed...it's not difficult to control, just slow down and ride for a while."

"Then how?" Zhang Ning blurted out his veto.

Luo Yaoniang grabbed his hand and said, "Listen to me... We have come to this point in this plan, we are only short of the last step, as long as we rush to the capital, we will succeed... Zhou Na and the others are aiming at you, You have to continue with the matter... They won't kill me easily, it's useless to kill me, human life is at stake, and the risk of committing a murder case is very high."

Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "How can you place your life on the pity of the enemy? Besides, in this state, there is no need for others to kill you if you are left behind. I will take you away!" After finishing speaking, he went to help her.

"Wait, I put rice paper under the cushion, bring me some first." Luo Yaoniang said.Zhang Ning went to get the rice paper as promised, but it was already soaked in water, so he walked over and handed it to her.Luo Yaoniang said again: "Turn your back." Then Zhang Ning heard a rustling sound behind him, and he felt his ears getting hot.

After a while, Zhang Ning helped her in front of the horse, but she couldn't even get on the horse. Thinking of her vigorous posture two days ago, she looked like a different person now.Zhang Ning could only lift her onto the horse with all his strength, and then went up by himself.This time Luo Yaoniang sat behind and he sat in front to grab the reins. Luo Yaoniang leaned softly on his back and hugged him gently.Immediately, Zhang Ning felt her soft chest against his back, and the feeling was very strong.He calmed down and learned to push lightly with his calf. Unexpectedly, the sitting horse didn't intend to leave, so he used another method to kick the horse's belly. Concentrate all your energy to stabilize your balance. Fortunately, the horse that has been sitting for two consecutive days has basically mastered the skills of riding a horse.He was driving the horse so clumsily that he could hardly control the speed and direction of the horse. Fortunately, the horse was a living creature and it would not crash into the hills. Driving is not the same. If you don't know how to steer the wheel, you will definitely rush to the side of the road.

He made himself sweaty, and Luo Yaoniang couldn't stand it and already retched several times.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, they arrived at a market next to the post road. There was a mountain gate shaped like an archway at the entrance, with three words "Longjing City" on it.This city should refer to a rural market, not a city. The cities of the Ming Dynasty had city walls.Luo Yaoniang couldn't take it any longer, she had to stop to see the doctor, at least change into dry clothes, otherwise her condition would only get worse.

The market in the early morning is very lively, and there are many people from a distance.Zhang Ning reined in his horse and was about to dismount and walk in, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control his speed and run amok in the crowd and hurt people, and he would cause many troubles.Luo Yaoniang couldn't walk anymore, she couldn't do anything with support, her face was flushed red and she was in a semi-comatose state, Zhang Ning had no choice but to carry her on his back.

Entering the bazaar, there are dusty dirt roads and the situation of Nanjing city is completely different, but it seems that the things are quite complete, there are everything sold on the street, melons and fruits, snacks, bamboo containers, porcelain jars, blacksmith shops, etc. There are all kinds of things, but there are no tailors, but there are cloth sellers.Zhang Ning was penniless, he had five taels of silver at home and didn't think about taking it with him, so he groped around Luo Yaoniang's waist, found a money bag, took it off and put it in his cuff.Passing by a pharmacy, Zhang Ning knew that generally this kind of pharmacy had good doctors, and only those with a certain standard were eligible to be hired by the pharmacy.He calculated his priorities in his mind, and went in to see a doctor with Luo Yaoniang on his back, and as expected, there was a doctor sitting in the hall.

The doctor observed Luo Yaoniang's face and eyes, and said, "Change her to dry clothes first." Then he asked about Zhang Ning's condition and illness, and after the question, the doctor said, "It's raining, and it's just right again." There is no doubt that the wind and cold have invaded the body due to menstruation." After saying that, without even checking the pulse, he directly prescribed the medicine and asked Zhang Ning to get the medicine in the pharmacy.Zhang Ning paid the bill with scraps of silver. The shopkeeper saw two soldiers passing by outside the door, and his face showed embarrassment: "Do you have copper coins? Treasure banknotes are also acceptable." It turned out that Emperor Yongle had issued an imperial decree to prohibit the circulation of gold and silver among the people. Daming treasure banknotes, this edict is basically an empty document that cannot be implemented. Its function is only to make everyone break the law. will be unlucky.Daming treasure banknotes have been depreciating continuously since the day they were issued. Up to now, one stone of rice costs fifty guan of Daming treasure banknotes, while real gold and silver only need half a tael of silver. Two different things.It’s no wonder that imperial banknotes were only issued but not received, and there was no inflation. In addition, in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of copper. The reason why the economy did not collapse was probably because the dragon’s veins were very positive.

Zhang Ning took out a few Daming banknotes, which were already soaked, put them on the counter and said, "Then I will pay with the banknotes." Then he gently pushed the piece of silver under the counter with his sleeve.The shopkeeper understood, so he didn't say anything.

"By the way, I have something to ask..." Zhang Ning thought that there was no one selling ready-made clothes, so he couldn't afford to buy two bolts of cloth to wrap around his body, "We got wet on the road, and the patient needs to change his clothes as soon as possible, can you please?" Sell ​​me two sets of old clothes, as long as they are clean, the price is negotiable."
