Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 152
The days on the road are boring, and the days on the road are lonely and painful.Especially in such an environment in ancient times, it was hot and there was no rain, the pipes were all dirt roads, and the sky was full of dust. Every night when we rested, our clothes and hair were full of dust.

It's a good place to have a post station. With Xue Lang's level, he can take a nice hot bath and clean himself up.In the days when there was no post station stationed in the wild, Xue Lang couldn't make himself too special, so he fetched water to wash his face and feet every day, and barely cleaned up.

For this reason, Li Gang also praised Xue Lang once, saying that Xue Lang used to like to be neat and tidy, and he thought he came from a good background. With such a background, he can endure being covered in dust and not be specialized, which shows that he has a solid character and can take on big things. also!
Xue Lang naturally expressed his gratitude modestly, saying that Li Shangshu really misunderstood, he was just trying to create an image that he was used to on the road, and filled in holes for his fabricated history in the past——

After driving for four years, how can someone who claims to have trekked mountains and rivers not be used to the hard work of driving?The hole I dug myself, I have to fill it up even when I cry!

Li Gang probably admired Xue Lang very much. During the journey, he often called Xue Lang to his carriage or the old man climbed into Xue Lang's carriage by himself to talk to Xue Lang.

Although Comrade Lao Li is over seventy years old, he still has a young heart and is full of curiosity about the foreign country Xue Lang came to.Pulling Xue Lang to ask questions, poor Xue Lang, the journey was already very tiring, and he had to rack his brains, spending brain cells to make up words to deal with Comrade Lao Li.

Old Li said: "Travel is tiring, is Xue Zhiyi still used to it?"

Xue Lang's buttocks were numb, and he still answered with a normal face: "There is a carriage to ride in, and someone takes care of food and clothing on the way. Compared with the journey when I came back, this kind of journey is already a pleasure. What can I say? Hard."

Li Gang asked curiously: "I heard that Xue Zhiyi's journey back has been four years, it must have been very hard?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to answer, Xue Lang stretched his buttocks and said with a smile, "It was really hard at the time, but now that I think about it, it's all wealth. A valuable spiritual wealth!"

"Spiritual wealth?"

Li Ganglue understood the meaning after thinking about it, and praised: "The words are quite wonderful. It is such a wonderful harvest, can Xue Jianyi share it with the old man?"

Not at all!However, it seems impossible!
Xue Lang complained in his heart, and with a look of reminiscence on his face, he began to make up nonsense on the spot, taking advantage of the convenience of modern people's consultation, Xue Lang said: "Li Shangshu is interested in listening, so I will pick up a few paragraphs and tell Li Shangshu Listen. When we crossed the Caucasus Mountains, there was a steep mountain road with no trees, only smooth rocks. It was still snowing at that time. In order to cross this road, my casual guards and I used long The ropes were tied around everyone’s waists, and they carried the buns directly on their backs, put on shoes with spikes on the soles, and hurried on the road step by step..."

Xue Lang directly described the scene of climbing a snow-capped mountain that he had seen in a certain documentary, and changed some inappropriate things. Not only Li Gang, but even the coachman and Changjian who were sitting on the shaft outside were fascinated by it.

After talking about climbing snow-capped mountains, let’s talk about skiing. After going up the mountain, it’s time to go down the mountain.So, Xue Lang went from climbing the snow mountain to skiing down the mountain, and then to dog sledding. After the cold winter, he arrived at the green forest and the forest with towering giant trees. There were brown bears taller and stronger than humans, and there were groups of Hungry wolves and roaring tigers.

These are not the most frightening, the most frightening are the various poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that are hard to guard against in the wild and woods in summer, and the situation in the desert where the water bag is as empty as the belly——

Xue Lang said: "There is still a solution to water. The temperature difference between day and night is huge in the desert. If you dig a hole in the sand and spread all kinds of impermeable things on the hole, you can collect a little morning dew the next morning. , collect more, save some to drink, and finally manage it, if you are hungry, it depends on your luck."

Li Gang asked: "Is there still food in the desert?"

Xue Lang said: "The world is so big, there are so many wonders. Don't look at the desert as if there is no sign of life, but under the sand, there are still many small animals and insects that live in the desert. Because there are steamed buns around, they are full. A meal, a hungry meal, but with the help of the buns, they can always find some food, so as not to starve to death in the desert."

Li Gang nodded and said: "It can be seen that the journey is exhausting. At the age of Xue Zhiyi, the so-called young and strong, he was also exhausted by the arduous journey and passed out in the wilderness. His life was almost endangered. He couldn't eat regularly during the journey. Well, it’s because I couldn’t sleep well.”

Unintentionally hit another BUG!Xue Lang silently gave himself a thumbs-up, and the interest in chatting with Lao Li was much more positive, it was better than sitting alone in the carriage in a daze.

Chatting with Lao Li about what he has seen and heard, it is right to pass the boring travel time.Although Lao Li is upright, he is not the kind of blunt and unpopular person when he speaks to others. The old man has already lived a fine life and speaks quite well.With Xue Lang's emotional intelligence, sometimes people have to ask him all the questions before he can react. Fortunately, apart from the big secret of time travel, Xue Lang has nothing he can't tell others.

After hanging around like this for a few days, Li Gang and Xue Lang gradually became acquainted. Li Gang probably put himself in the position of an elder, and always looked at Xue Lang with admiration and kindness.The most intuitive thing is addressing. Li Gang no longer calls Xue Lang Xue Consulting, and directly calls him Youyang. As a junior, Xue Lang can only call Li Gang obediently as Li Gong.

Elderly people more or less have a hobby, that is to protect the matchmaker!Honest and straightforward as Li Gang, he still didn't get rid of this law. After getting acquainted with Xue Lang, he actually cared about Xue Lang's personal problems: "At Youyang's age, it's time to start a family and start a business, why haven't you married yet?"

Xue Lang was pained silently, but he still explained his thoughts.Li Gang is not a coercive person either, he stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously after hearing the words: "So that's the case. However, you Yang is such a handsome man, after entering Beijing, he may become the son-in-law of a family with a young lady who has not left the cabinet. You Yang, don't pick flowers." The eyes are."

Xue Lang smiled wryly: "I heard that when people get married, the woman is only thirteen or fourteen years old. If I get married earlier, I'm afraid I can be a daughter, so I don't care. If you get married, you want to have children, but if you marry such a young wife, you will be a hell if you have children, wouldn't it be a waste of life? Besides, I have no intention of marrying a wife now."

Li Gang just stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to control Youyang then."

Xue Lang smiled and nodded, but said nothing.Now it is the Tang Dynasty, the emperor and ministers are all above IQ, Li Yuan and Li Shengren should not do stupid things like bestowing marriages.

Since ancient times, Cheng has been a good relationship between two families, relying on power to force people to marry... What are you as a courtier?The simplest respect between people is not like this.
