Chapter 42 Again
Of course I wouldn't think that a little episode of chance can involve so many things. But it can't hinder my restart journey at all.
With the help of Shengchang Tower's suggestion, you can take a short-distance relay along the Si River, go to Sizhou to Xia Pi in the south, and then turn to the east to the Huaizhou to see if there are any ship merchants who can float to the sea and bypass the blockade on the Huai River.
But after passing Luliang, although it was still in Xuzhou, the traces of dilapidation along the way were very obvious. Compared with the prosperity and comfort I had seen before, they were simply two worlds in heaven and earth.
But at least order and other things still exist within a certain range centered on the town. Although there are more refugees and thieves, and there are also women selling flesh.
At the crowded places such as the ferry and the walking store, I encountered and stopped pickpockets with more than two digits, or something. By the way, I quickly cut off a hand that was touching the head and squatting on my body. It was a very killing chicken to warn the other covetants, and then I was more purified.
Then, from the old canal in Xuzhou, entered Sizhou, took a boat to Suyu County, and stayed in the semicolon of Shengchang for two more days.
In the words of a local store, you are really lucky, just a guest. There happened to be a team of chariots and horses heading to Yangzhou, but they were traveling westward, so you had to take a little more distance.
According to convention, in this chaotic world, traveling together must be carried out. This time, because a large customer spent a lot of money to rent a cart and a charity meeting, many tourists and travelers who received the news gathered here, waiting to go with them.
In this way, as long as it is not too large a riot or other rioters, ordinary bandits and bandits dare not provoke them easily. The remaining journey can be completed at a smaller cost and cost.
So, I continued to use my doctorate identity, and the famous post of Liu Dongzhu also played a role again, giving me a very good position in this temporary team.
At least the travel environment has improved a lot, not only are some people driving for us, but during the day, I and I were invited to sit on the seats, which are said to be specially made side by side by side by side carriage in the south.
This car is several times wider than an ordinary carriage, with six large wheels underneath, and I even saw simple shock absorber springs and steering mechanisms.
Although the outside looks a bit old and paint-off, the interior environment is pretty good.
The four walls are wrapped in thick cotton, which is soundproof and warm. The windows are rare to open and close large pieces of water glazed, instead of traditional paper paste or cloth curtains. The seats are soft-lined sheepskin mats, and stackable lacquered wood shorts to display things.
The seat corporal is fixed to pull-out bin, which can store personal belongings and daily necessities.
There are glass-covered lamps in the car and heating ovens. Even if you are not afraid of darkness at night, you can also steam tea, which is specially designed for those with some wealth.
Therefore, when I got on the long cart, Red Tiger III pulled the half-old cart and carried other miscellaneous items, and the convoy sent the coachman to take control and followed slowly.
"This is the famous Mercedes-Benz..."
The handlebars I proudly introduced to me
"hair."
I was in a mess at that time.
"It is one of the few models passed down during the Qianyuan period. It is said that it was personally guided and named by Mr. Liang."
"There are only BMW, Porsche, and Dongfeng that are still alive today."
Okay, can I complain about this senior’s malicious interest? But no matter how much you complain, this special car is much more comfortable to sit down. At least it doesn’t need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and there is enough room for movement. You don’t have to squeeze your body into a narrow space. You will easily feel soreness in the waist and back pain over time.
According to my remaining memories, due to war and turmoil, this precision car manufacturing process is no longer common in the world. It is said that there are only a few places in the south or the northwest. There are still remaining ones. There are as many as six vehicles here, divided into different uses. Although the appearance is not very ostentatious, the details all reflect the style of a rich and wealthy dog owner.
This long van is said to be the simplest one. Inside the car, even I squatted in my head, and with the other people who were going up and down the road, there were only seven people.
Of course, as a doctor who is known for dealing with emergency diseases, I also have to undertake the corresponding affairs.
For example, using this long van as a place to treat patients with various sudden symptoms. Fortunately, I currently deal with some sporadic diseases such as headaches, fever, poor adaptation or irregular diet.
Every day when we stop to eat, these cars will follow several inner and outer circles from the inside to the outer city, and then some people will fetch water, some people will collect firewood, some people will dig soil and set up temporary drainage ditches. Everything looks orderly, quite well-organized and well-trained.
In the fleet, there were also people who specially transported ingredients and firewood. When they arrived at the dining cart that specialized in cooking stoves and cooked fire, they made a large pot of fragrant dried meat seeds, and then each person used a spoonful of them to apply it on the fried pancakes, and then they would be filled with hot porridge.
Our guests on the bus can also add some side dishes with flavor, sliced steamed cured flavor, etc.
Those businessmen and travelers who temporarily accompany each other do not have this kind of treatment, but they all have their own small group, at most they buy some firewood and make their own fires.
The numerous coachmen, servants, slaves, etc. can only eat their own dry food and small buns of dry sauce, and ask for some hot water to make a sauce soup, and make a makeshift meal.
The worse ones are that they bring some jacquard and grill them in the grilled charcoal. Whether it is half-cooked or not, they just chew in it.
However, as the core of this huge fleet, a wealthy and powerful merchant never showed up. It is said that the other party is in good health and cannot see the wind. Everything is done through a large number of maids and servants to handle everything they need to handle.
Contact and explain matters with the outside world, such as arranging our location and treatment, is to convey and negotiate through a young manager.
In addition, all we can see is the head of a private guard, a burly man with a tall appearance and two guns, and a group of hired Yishu.
Although I am curious enough, I know better that I will not die without dying. In my long van, I take the initiative to not care about unnecessary things other than myself.
Including those who were in the same car as me, they were also common friends, but they did not have the desire to talk in depth.
As usual, I collected a stack of copybooks of new and old, so that I can read and relax on the journey, and can also solve small problems in my life.
I have also accumulated various common daily news and memories, and the abstract miscellaneous notes are even more thick.
During this period, although my memory of squatting with my head in my arms was not restored, I finally discovered a new use of her, that is, she actually has a good foundation in writing traditional brushes.
Compared to a local tycoon like me who only knows hard pens or simple characters, whether it is regular script, official script, running script, cursive script, she can write it quickly and smoothly and neatly, almost without any stagnation.
I don't know what a girl of this age can do to learn such high-end and old-fashioned things, so I dictated and wrote them, and it became a normal thing.
The only thing that is not very harmonious is that there are all kinds of roads that can be seen everywhere on the road, both men, women, young and old. When they are carried away and pushed to the side of the road, there are still people who are not breathing.
There were many suspected snoops on the road, but at least they disappeared quickly in front of the armed guards.
.....
In the ruins of the Haishi City in Qingzhou and Liangshanpo, the boat merchant Hu Jingshui touched the bruises and swelling on his face, but was grinning.
He felt that he had been unlucky for so long, and finally he had luck. Because these vicious Liangshan people decided to hand over all the remaining goods on the sea market to him for distribution.
Although it was burned and plundered, the goods left by dozens or hundreds of large and small ship dealers were still quite a big deal, not to mention that there were many valuable treasures in it.
Such a good thing that had fallen from the sky, with the huge sense of happiness, suddenly destroyed his fright and fear, and even the pain of his previous bruised nose and swollen face seemed to have been temporarily forgotten.
You know, this is a bandit in Liangshan, one of the four major bandits in the north. It may be a bit taboo for others, but for these small sea merchants who have to make a living in the wind and waves, they have to do some livelihoods that are not a big deal to make money.
Although they did not participate in it, the various illegal and prohibited existences they deal with were never more or less.
Besides, it is completely different from a small sea merchant who can only work hard everywhere to find work. They need to look at other people's faces on the sea and on the land. They are often exploited by both sides and a big boss who operates and distributes their properties.
He had seen the dawn of fate as a rich man and was waving to him. That little setback and fleshly pain became a passing cloud.
By the way, sometimes notorious is also a good means of publicity, then
As long as he took the certificate and font size provided by Liangshan, he went to the Fusang Pharises or the Xinluo Pharises, and like them, he could only rely on the small boat owners who leaked some residues from the sea merchants. He would have to pay as much as possible, and he would bring his men and ships to him.
In this chaotic world, there is no shortage of people who exchange their lives for money.
I remember that before he was kicked out by someone, he was also a family background of a sea merchant in the south. He finally had an opportunity to revive his family business. In front of him, he would never let go.
Although those who held him hostage by force in the end still failed to find the target they were looking for, causing his expected reward to shrink seriously.
The last time the man appeared, Xiaoguang County, had already become a ruin. The Hebei soldiers who crossed the border almost killed almost everything in the city that could breathe. Liangshan, whose strength was greatly damaged due to internal strife, was almost beaten down.
However, because he led the way, the remaining Liangshan people obtained a life-saving straw in a certain sense. Those guys with a lot of background were still willing to establish a long-term relationship with Liangshan, and in the name of a certain Lufan leader in Yizhou, they supported Hu Jingshui to take over the operation of Haishi.
Therefore, Liangshan is also very enthusiastic about finding people, and he takes risks and sends out the last little manpower.
