Yuanxing believes that travel without a guide is imperfect, and the current situation just confirms this sentence. He had no idea that it was snowing in Liaodong at the end of February of the lunar calendar, and the weather was unusually cold. There was no travel app, no weather forecast, and no positioning map, which made his journey north really a ascetic.
As soon as I got off the boat, I was in a sensation. It was difficult for people and animals to move through heavy snow. The caravan was trapped in the base for half a month. Because of the cold, Yuanxing was in the house except for the necessity, he was in the house and leaned on the brazier to endure hard. The good deeds were even more depressed, because when he left Tonghai Temple, the monk specially packed more than a dozen Buddhist scriptures for them to take, all of which had not been read before...
It was already late March when the road was opened. It started raining and sleeting again just a few days after departure. The already difficult road to walk became even muddy.
At this time, the northeast was vast and sparsely populated. The newly established Da Yong rule had not touched this place at all. Not to mention the harsh climate than the inside of the pass, wild wild animals were everywhere in the wilderness, and there were unflowered native savages and scattered soldiers from the previous dynasty, which was a complete place to transform.
Fortunately, I did not encounter harassment this time. After more than ten days, I finally reached 30,000 yuan, which was only 400 miles away, which was actually longer than the time it took to travel from Jinan to Tianjin.
"Haha, I heard from the servant that a monk came to look for him, so I guess it was you guy." The third senior brother saw Yuan Xing coming forward and hugged him. After letting go, he looked him up and down carefully. He instantly found something strange about the other party and asked in surprise: "What's going on with your eyes?"
Yuan Xing only smiled and whispered two words: "Super Power."
After all, they were monks who returned to secular life and knew some secrets of Buddhism. They knew that it was not a place to speak outside, so they hurriedly welcomed the two of them in. After many days of running around, they finally had a hot bath and had a good meal.
Although Ning Mu was born in a villain, he was born into a large family and had a profound background. This time, the merchant brought enough servants and guards, and lived in a large house. Although the equipment was not as good as the inner city, it was also luxurious. In a short while, servants brought exquisite vegetarian food to the table.
He and Yuanxing have not seen each other for many years, and have been picking up food for the two of them at the dinner table. He heard Yuanxing tell the story of all the things that happened after he returned to secular life, and also told his own situation.
Due to the difficulty of going north, he placed his mother in Tianjin. He originally planned to go back half a year, but his wife found out that she was pregnant when she arrived in Liaodong. She had to buy a house first. Otherwise, he would have been in Tianjin at this time and would not have broken off contact with Tianchan Temple. I was tired of Yuanxing. I also boarded the boat in Tianjin, and I couldn't help but sigh again.
During the meal, Ning Mu's wife also came out to meet her with her big belly.
Yuan Xing could not see the other person's appearance, but just listening to his voice and tone of speaking, he could tell that he was a cheerful woman.
"Young junior brother is so handsome. Why not learn from your senior brother to return to secular life. Following the business is also a job. What's the fun of being a monk?" After everyone chatted for a while, the junior sister-in-law suddenly smiled and said, "My sister-in-law knows some good women, and I will definitely choose a satisfying one for you."
Before Yuanxing responded, Ning Mu sprayed out the tea from his mouth and scolded anxiously: "Xiaoling, don't talk nonsense. Yuanxing is born to be a Buddhist son, and the master has high expectations." He paused and slowed down his tone: "Master said he was wise and clear, how could he be hooked up by your sisters?"
The teacher's wife glanced at him: "The surname is Ning, you were not a friend of me when you were still secular." The two of them even quarreled as if no one was around, but they stopped continuing the topic.
The issue of returning to secular life has aroused the sad things about fate, and I couldn't help but eat another bowl of rice.
Later, Ning Mu told me that this sister-in-law was from a martial arts family, no wonder she was so straightforward.
In this way, Yuanxing and Shanguo lived in Ning's house with peace of mind, and they just waited for their teacher and sister-in-law to go south after giving birth and finishing confinement...
------------
Santoshi City is very small, and is called a city to the outside world. In fact, it is a town with a short wall. It was originally just a temporary station for purchasing fur ginseng, but later it gradually developed. Although the place has abundant resources, it has few people after all, and after more than a hundred years, it is only of this scale.
Thanks to the caravans coming and going, they were not poor enough to eat. Although they were a little worse than the Central Plains, Liaodong was really rich at this time. Because of this, there were mixed fish and dragons here, and the seemingly prosperous surface was actually under the undercurrent.
In April, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became subtle. Ning Mu said that a big businessman seemed to have offended a group of horse thieves on the nearby hill. There are many more people in the city now, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. He has already begun to count the property and prepare for going south.
But people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Ning Mu has prepared a comfortable carriage and plans to leave the next day, several groups of horse thieves from hundreds of miles nearby gathered together to attack the city.
Ning Mu's family was born in a martial arts family. He has made several moves in 30,000 cities and is very famous here. Therefore, although he only brought more than twenty guards to the north this time, no one dared to underestimate him. If something happened, the local chamber of commerce president first thought of him, who came from a famous family, so he also had to participate in the defense.
There are no troops stationed here, and the defenders are all guards of various caravans. Those who can come here to conduct business are all fierce and have excellent weapons. Although there are many horse thieves, they can only return without success.
But Ning Mu was worried when she returned for lunch. When his wife asked, he said he was tired. After the meal, he quietly found Yuanxing: "This is wrong. The horse thief obviously just shot him. I'm afraid he has a backup plan."
"Senior brother is afraid that he can't hold on?" Yuan Xing was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"The horse thief is on the side, and a large number of people are being held in the city wall. I am afraid something will happen in the city." Ning Mu sighed: "I have to come forward to defend the city. The peace in the house depends on you and your nephew. I will leave ten guards. If there is any incident, I will return immediately."
Things did not seem to be moving towards Ning Mu's guess. The Chamber of Commerce sent a manager to negotiate and promised some wealth. The horse thief attacked the city twice and retreated. The tense atmosphere in the city suddenly relaxed.
Ning Mu felt a big deal, so he hurried to find the president of the Chamber of Commerce. When he came back, he gritted his teeth and said to Yuanxing: "I always feel that things cannot end so simply. It is obvious that the horse thief dispatched so many people this time, which is obviously not something that can be satisfied with just some money."
"The Chamber of Commerce has not arranged it?" Yuan Xing was surprised. In theory, these merchants should have a good understanding of the habits of horse thieves and bandits. How could they trust the other party so easily without any precautions?
"There are arrangements, but only each company is strengthening its defense." Ning Mu was depressed. His proposal to form a joint defense team from experts to support sudden changes was rejected: "After all, no one is willing to send his good players out."
"Can you leave the city now?"
"I'm afraid that I'll be in danger of going home when I'm in a siege when I go out of the city. There may be a glimmer of hope for the young man to rush into the forest, but how can I feel at ease with your sister-in-law like this!" Ning Mu sighed and continued: "There is a Baitou Village fifty miles away. In the past, I only robbed the Mongolians, but I have no harm to the Han people. I have a very good reputation in this area. I helped the village leader once when I went north last year. I had sent someone to ask for help before, and I hope it's still time."
After Ning Mu said this, he called the housekeeper and told the servants to close the door, and everyone and important goods gathered in a remote side courtyard. The guards were fully armed and were always on guard. If anything happened, don't worry about anything else, just guard the yard.
During this period, a chamber of commerce sent people to invite Ning Mu to participate in the "celebration of the commemoration", but was also rejected. In such an atmosphere, what should come came still. First, there were shouts of killing sounds around him, and then fires surged into the sky in the distance. Obviously, an inner man opened the city gate and let the horse thief come in.
But at this tense moment, the third teacher's wife was about to give birth after getting angry.
