Seeing Tie Gada again, Dakui couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator. He was eight feet tall, but Tie Gada was actually nine feet tall. That figure was three points taller than when he was at his peak.
"Tie Gada has met Mr. Zhang." This rough man's voice was rich and naive, and Dakui couldn't help but feel good about him.
"Sit down." Da Kui looked at Tie Gada with a smile. Tie Gada was not humble and went to the side and sat down.
Dakui ordered the maid to serve tea, and then asked with concern: "Is your mother's illness getting better?"
"My lord gave you some money last time, and I hired a doctor for my mother after I returned. Now my mother is much better, thank you." Tiegada's words were very straightforward, and his gratitude was beyond words.
Dakui smiled and waved his hands: "It's not worth mentioning these little things, hehehe."
Who would have thought that Tie Gada would actually stand up, kneel down, and kowtow three times to Da Kui. Just as Da Kui picked up the tea cup, who would have thought that this man would suddenly perform such a great gift.
Dakui got up and came over to help Tiegada up: "Why does a strong man need to perform such a great ceremony?"
With tears in his eyes, Tegada choked up and said: "If there were no adults, my mother would be gone." After saying that, he started to cry, and there was no trace of manliness left.
Dakui said with a smile: "Helping others is the basis of happiness. How can I fail to save someone even though I can't do my best?"
Dakui did not expect that the man would be resentful for the gift of ten taels of silver. Although Tiegada was vulgar, he was a sincere person. Dakui suddenly thought of something and immediately asked: "Where is the strong man?"
They make a living by fishing on Tai Lake, so the water must be quite good. Well..." Dakui lowered his head and muttered, but didn't know how to speak.
Tegada laughed when he heard this: "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it. I, Tegada, will do the work of a dog and a horse."
Dakui nodded and then said: "I have some guards who are practicing recently. I would like to ask Iron Warrior to be their instructor and teach them how to sail and swim. I wonder if Iron Warrior is willing?"
Tie Gada clapped her chest loudly and said cheerfully: "This trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Don't worry, sir."
Dakui nodded with satisfaction and said: "A strong man comes to me as a trainer, and I get a monthly salary of one tael of silver. What do you think?"
Tegada giggled and said, "Okay, I don't care about the money or not, as long as I can serve you."
Da Kui smiled. If Tie Gada joins in, he will be able to help...
The early summer in Suzhou was already extremely hot, but hundreds of people were running from a distance on the official road. They were all sweating profusely, but they still gritted their teeth and ran. It was impossible not to run. There was a school captain riding behind, who was lagging behind?
After a few words, it was like a horse whip.
I have run nearly thirty miles since I woke up in the morning. This is a daily compulsory exercise. Today's training has just begun.
"Go to the woods ahead and rest for a while, hurry, hurry, hurry~!" Wu Ya shouted loudly.
The five people including the dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench were also mixed in the crowd. They were out of breath after running all the way. They didn't understand why they had suffered this. They were running wildly under such a poisonous sun.
, will kill people!
Finally, we arrived at the woods where the crow was talking about. Secretly, everyone called Wu Ya a crow. When a crow crows, it’s bound to be bad, so Wu Ya got his name. Wu Ya didn’t want to, but he had to follow Master Zhang’s orders.
.
Everyone ran to the edge of the forest and walked around slowly, which was also strictly ordered by the crow. After a long run, they could not rest immediately, so everyone could only walk around. A month ago, everyone was still relaxed, but now everyone's legs are tied
He was tied with a sandbag, each of which weighed more than ten kilograms. After running this thirty miles, it was still a bit too much.
When everyone was out of breath, Wu Ya shouted loudly: "It's hot today. I've been ordered by Mr. Zhang to take everyone to take a bath. Do you think it's okay?" Everyone cheered in unison when the weather was like this again.
After sweating all over, taking a shower is already a great pleasure.
Everyone lined up, and Wu Ya rode his horse to lead the way, heading west. It wasn't until they saw Taihu Lake that everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Five small boats had docked on the shore of Taihu Lake early, and a man with an extremely powerful appearance and figure was already waiting here.
When Wu Ya reached the shore, he dismounted and let the horse eat grass and drink water.
"Starting from today, everyone will follow this iron instructor to practice boating, sailing and swimming. The rules must be reiterated. Please prepare as soon as possible."
In addition to daily running exercises, Sanbai Jingzhuang now also has to practice paddling and swimming on the water. It is really miserable, but even so, no one complains.
Meng Ge's injury has recovered, and Da Kui feels relieved.
The information brought back by Gou Sheng and others is not detailed and reliable. If you want to get detailed information, you will probably have to go through a lot of troubles.
Dakui was about to go out, and he no longer needed to arrange things at home. Meng Ge knew that Dakui was training military guards, so he immediately asked Ying to teach him. Dakui was satisfied. Meng Ge was from Southern Shaolin, so Kui was relieved to have him as his instructor.
This time there was no fanfare. He was simply dressed lightly. When leaving, Dakui only took Panbu with him.
There are many islands and reefs in the Zhoushan Archipelago, dotted with strange rocks and rugged rocks. There are 1,390 large and small islands in total. The entire island group is arranged in a northeast direction. There are more large islands in the south, the islands are very high, and they are arranged quite densely. In the north, there are mostly small islands with low terrain.
It is low and scattered; the main islands include Zhoushan Island, Daishan Island, Zhujiajian Island, Liuheng Island, Jintang Island, etc. Among them, Zhoushan Island is the largest, with a radius of more than a thousand miles. The island has been around since ancient times.
With its people, a county was built in the 26th year of Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty, named Zhoushan County. The Zhoushan Islands were called Haizhongzhou in ancient times and also had the reputation of being the hometown of a thousand islands.
According to the news heard by Gou Sheng and others, all the capitals along the coast have been robbed by pirates. Dakui estimates that Liu Yifei and his gang of pirates should be hiding near the Zhoushan Islands, so Dakui’s destination is Zhoushan County. Zhoushan County
It once became the only way for overseas trade during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was known as the Maritime Silk Road. However, from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, sea bans were issued, and the prosperity of the past was gone.
return.
Dakui and Panbu were dressed in disguise, but they were pretending to be charlatans walking around the streets. Dakui was dressed in a plain white robe, with an alchemist's scarf on his head, looking like a scholar. Panbu wore a small green coat and carried a medicine box on his shoulders.
The two of them went all the way south from Suzhou to Songjiang Prefecture. They hired a boat from Songjiang Prefecture and walked for three days by water to finally reach Zhoushan County. Only after landing at the dock did Da Kui see what Hai Zhongzhou was. All the people here were fishing.
Fish make a living, and the boats on the sea go back and forth with the waves. There is no other smell in Dakui's nose except the fishy salt in the air.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Pan Bu said aggrievedly.
Yes, the two of them had to eat dry food all the way on the boat. Now that they have arrived at the end of the country, the dry food they brought with them has been eaten up. But now they have no friends, but where to find food.
"Just bear with it a little longer. Let's find a restaurant to have a good meal later." Dakui comforted him softly with a smile on his face.
Panbu nodded and followed Dakui towards the densely populated area.
Looking back at the rippling blue waves of the sea, and the occasional gull flying in the sky, Dakui couldn't help but look up while walking. Having been inland for a long time, it was really refreshing to see such a scenery.
"Hey, you're blind? Why are you stepping on my fish?" A voice shouted in my ear.
Dakui couldn't help being surprised. Then he realized that he had just looked up at the sky and looked at the scenery, and had unknowingly walked into a field. The field was full of fish dried on the ground. But there was a black-faced man next to him.
He glared at Da Kui. Looking at Pan Bu, he was no better than Da Kui. He was holding a few conch shells he picked up somewhere and playing with them while walking.
Da Kui nodded quickly and told him to accompany him. At least the black-faced man didn't care about Da Kui, so Da Kui was able to escape. Da Kui pulled Pan Bu out of the way and then said to Pan Bu: "Don't just play around, aren't you hungry?"
?Hurry up and search with me to see if there is a restaurant or something there."
Panbu agreed and looked around with Dakui. Only then did he realize that there were fishermen and residents all around, but there were no restaurants or bars. This was strange! Dakui couldn't help scratching his head. Isn't this Zhoushan County? Why is it so remote since it is a county town?
.
When he found the person and asked, Dakui couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turns out that this is a fishing village on the north shore of Zhoushan Island. Zhoushan County is still at the southern end of Zhoushan Island, more than 200 miles away from here.
Dakui was two or three steps away from Panbu when he heard his stomach growling with hunger. Dakui immediately said: "If you bear with me a little longer, let's walk south again and find someone's house where we can have some food."
The two of them walked south again. At this time, it was just after the Chen hour, and the fishermen all went to sea early. After leaving more than a dozen households, General Iron was guarding the door. What should they do?
After walking for another distance, there was a sound of gongs, drums and suonas in his ears. Dakui's eyes lit up and he said happily: "There is something to eat, there is something to eat."
Pan Bu heard this and asked quickly: "Where?"
Dakui stretched out his hand and saw from a distance that a wedding team was walking southward with drums and gongs. Dakui and Panbu were at the intersection of the wharf path and the main road, and the wedding team was heading south all the way.
Okay, in the middle of the procession is the groom in a wedding dress riding a tall horse. Immediately behind the groom's horse is a sedan with eight carriages. According to folk custom, the sedans used by common people for weddings are usually carried by four people, and only wealthy families carry them.
Let eight carry the sedan chair.
It looked like they were from a wealthy family. Dakui couldn't help but his eyes shone. To be honest, he was also hungry. He couldn't say this because of his status. Dakui and Panbu just stood at the intersection, watching the wedding procession pass by.
Behind the sedan were dozens of servants carrying, carrying, and holding the dowry gifts, and then came various villagers. Da Kui saw in his eyes that these villagers were following the gifts to attend the banquet, so he kept
After waiting for the villagers' team to pass by, Dakui followed the team.
When Pan Bu saw that no one was paying attention, he asked in a low voice: "Father, where are we going to eat?" Pan Bu was sincere and naturally he would not know what Dakui was thinking.
Dakui laughed and said: "I once took Xiaohu to a big restaurant to eat for free. I was unlucky and got beaten a lot, but I won't do it this time. My adoptive father will take you to a meat restaurant and have a good meal. Don't ask for it."
Spread the word." Dakui looked proud, but his heart was beating wildly as he followed him around.
Pan Bu has never done anything wrong since he was a child. Now it seems that his adoptive father's attitude is not right. Pan Bu can't help but ask: "Father, are we going to eat for free?"
Dakui's face was serious and he immediately said: "What do you mean by freeloading? We are going to a banquet!"
