Chapter two hundred and ninety-first folk customs are sturdy
Walking on the bustling street, Yunjing was thinking about where to go next.
Starting from Baimu Town, it is already less than a thousand miles to reach the border battlefield. It is actually quite far.
The border is Yunjing's destination for this trip, but it is not his only purpose.
"Along the way, I have seen the simple hard work of the people at the bottom, the difficulty of life in poor mountains and harsh waters, the fighting and killing for fame and fortune in the world, the extreme luxury of the rich and powerful, and the country's
We also saw the intrigues between countries, the sadness of parting when we parted, and even the sudden awakening of the rich young man after he fell into the clouds..."
Looking back on his experiences along the way, Yunjing felt a lot of emotion.
Every time he meets some people, some things, every experience, it has some impact on his heart, and it also changes his mentality a lot.
He is a normal person, a living person, not an immutable stone. People's experiences will change themselves. The difference is how much each person has changed after experiencing it.
Life is a long road, and every step will be a new journey.
"The previous experiences I have experienced, passed by, seen, and participated in are all my own experiences after all. People cannot just live in their own world. Next, it is time to visit some knowledgeable people..."
When I went on a study tour, Yunjing could only be considered a tour before, and I didn’t experience much study.
Learn, learn, and ask while learning. After all, a person's vision and opinions are limited. The so-called questioning means asking yourself and others. It can also be said to be discussion.
Therefore, it is necessary to visit knowledgeable people. The stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, discuss knowledge and insights with others, and absorb the strengths of others to enrich yourself.
Visiting knowledgeable people was originally part of Yunjing's study tour plan.
He hadn't visited others before, not because Yunjing didn't have time, but because he considered the cultural differences between the north and the south, so he visited others after arriving in the north. He thought he could learn a lot from the cultural differences between the north and the south.
Knowledge can never be figured out by a single person, that is called working behind closed doors.
In this land in the north, Yunjing knew a lot of well-educated people, some were big bosses who had resigned and retired to hermitage, and some were simply hermits in the mountains...
Thinking about those people worth visiting and secretly planning the route, Yunjing decided to visit them one by one and finally arrived at the border battlefield.
Of course, it doesn't mean that whoever he wants to visit will receive him. What if they happen to be away from home? What if they don't see him at all? After all, Yunjing is not well-known.
So out of the dozen or so learned people in my mind who deserve to be visited, it would be good to be able to visit two or three in the end.
There was no one worth visiting in Baimu Town, so Yunjing had to continue on his way.
However, before leaving Baimu Town, Yunjing had two things to do. One was to go to the government office to check in, and the other was to write a letter home to report that he was safe.
He had already written the letter home when he had nothing to do on the ship. He could just go to the inn to mail it. The distance between the north and the south was too far. It was thousands of miles away. A light letter cost Yunjing two taels of silver and a lot of money.
The postage fee was several times heavier than the letter. Yunjing had the urge to snatch it back and fly back to deliver the letter himself, many times faster...
One meal consumes 10,000 highways of fuel?
Sending letters home went smoothly, and I didn’t have any trouble when I went to the government office to check in and have my card stamped. Baimu Town is an important port in the north, and the government office obviously receives a lot of people studying abroad. They are very familiar with the business, and they even enthusiastically recommended to Yunjing what kind of things to do in the north.
The local brothel is really fun.
There is a saying that in this world, most of the scholars who can afford to read, and are well-educated, have good family backgrounds, which leads to many so-called study tours. In fact, the course work is said to be whoring.
There are many scholars who have prostituted themselves all the way. They have experienced the exotic customs of different places. They have money in their pockets and no one to restrain them. Most people can't hold it back, right?
After listening to the recommendation from Baimu Town officials with a smile, Yun Jingxin asked why she went to a brothel, to provide benefits to those young ladies?
They think beautifully.
After leaving Baimu Town Yamen, Yunjing immediately saw a scene of people jumping around on the street, which made him stunned for a moment.
I saw a woman carrying a kitchen knife chasing a rogue gangster, cursing him while chasing him.
"You bastard, if you dare to peek at me taking a bath, I can't kill you. If you want to watch, stop if you want. I want you to watch as much as you want. Do you want to watch? I'll chop out the egg yolks for you, bah,
You bastard, why don’t you go see your mother?”
Those women were so tough, they chased the gangsters with kitchen knives and chopped them down on the street, but no one dared to stop them.
Yunjing even noticed that people were not surprised. Some people were grabbing the melon seeds and looking at them with gusto. There were actually some people who were looking forward to discussing whether the scoundrel would be hacked to death.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore. In fact, I didn't see anything. Please stop chasing me."
The scoundrel who was being chased ran extremely fast, begging for mercy while jumping out like beans.
Seems like you are often chased and chopped?
Yun Jing took a few more glances, but when the girl carrying a kitchen knife passed in front of him, she glared at him and said, "What are you looking at, pretty boy? I've never seen anyone chop someone before."
"Look...I'm not looking at anything. I'm not looking at anything. Sister, you're busy with your business." Yunjing took a step back while sweating.
The folk girl curled her lips, as if Yun Jing didn't say a word to her but was frustrated, so she continued to chase the rogue.
This is the north, and the folk customs are indeed strong and strong.
The excitement in the street disappeared as quickly as it came, and calmness soon returned.
There was no excitement to see, so Yunjing went to a noodle stall to eat a bowl of noodles, and then continued on his way.
It is worth mentioning that Yunjing has not yet seen the cultural differences between the north and the south, but he has experienced the dietary differences. The south mainly eats rice as the staple food, while the north mainly eats pasta, wheat flour, sorghum noodles and the like.
In terms of dishes, the south is more sophisticated, while the north has a big pot of various ingredients, but people just find it delicious.
After leaving Baimu Town, Yunjing looked back and said to himself that the folk customs in the north are really tough. On that street, he saw four violent incidents as he walked there.
There are fights between two brothers, and they can still talk and laugh as if nothing happened after they beat each other to pieces. There are brothers who fight, and they get into a fight just because they disagree about a young lady because they are discussing whether she is good-looking.
People who don't know each other get into fights just because they took one more look in the crowd.
Especially one of the incidents involved a martial arts practitioner from the south who felt he was somewhat capable but a bit arrogant. As a result, the northerners couldn't stand it and were not afraid of him. They shouted at him and attacked him, beating him up and running away.
, while the northern side cheered as if they had won a battle...
There is little rain in the north, so when you leave the town and look around, the land looks a bit desolate, especially in the late autumn and cold winter, when everything is gradually dying, adding a bit of desolation to this world.
"There is a learned man in Fangjiatun, more than a hundred miles away from Baimu Town. The man's surname is Fang and his given name is Qingyan. In his early years, he went to the capital to study and became an official in the imperial examination. He was once a second-rank official. He has a hot temper, but if he is dissatisfied, he will
He offended a lot of people in the court when he started spraying. Later, he gave up his writing and joined the army to lead the army. He defeated many and defeated many. He killed many enemies and gave them a headache. In his later years, Jiliu Yong resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown. He was a man who knew how to advance and retreat. Otherwise, he would use his ability to spray whomever he caught.
His character has offended so many people, and he may not know how he will be dealt with in his later years. This kind of person is worth visiting..."
Thinking about Fang Qingyan's deeds, Yunjing decided to be the first to visit him. This man had a straightforward personality, knew how to advance and retreat, was very knowledgeable, and had rich experience in leading troops in combat. I thought he could learn a lot from him.
Less stuff.
The premise is that people want to see you.
This is the difference between the circles and the different focus. Yunjing is not a member of the world. Ask him to name a few powerful people in the world and he can't name them. But when it comes to knowledgeable people in the cultural circle, he can be said to have a wealth of knowledge. He can talk about it for three days.
Don't wait for the same thing for three nights.
After traveling more than a hundred miles, Yunjing estimated that he would reach Fangjiatun the next day, hoping he would not be turned away.
He was walking on the official road, and the road was full of dust. He didn't use his mind to get rid of the dust, and he wanted to pop out a few blind people to relieve his boredom.
As for the one that runs out and cannot be beaten, he can fly.
After a trip to the capital, I saw the elder princess’ master, an old man from the mythical realm. Yunjing was 90% sure that those beings couldn’t fly, so being able to fly was a great guarantee for his safety.
By the way, the old man didn't know if he had already reached the north. He took a boat by himself. The speed was slow. What if someone was in a hurry?
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats from behind, and amid the smoke and dust, several knights dressed as people from the martial arts world rode up.
When passing by Yunjing, one of them reminded me with kind words: "Scholar, I advise you to go back. The further north you go, the more chaotic it will be. You are still young and have a great time. Don't lose your life on this land. No."
worth"
After saying that, the other party rode away with the others without waiting for Yunjing's reply.
Through their conversation, Yunjing understood that they were also ambitious people who went to the border battlefield together to kill the enemy.
There are many such people, and Yunjing encountered several of them in half a day.
People with lofty ideals from all over the world gathered in the north to contribute to the country. Yunjing didn't know how many people gathered there.
"People in the Jianghu, although they have the desire to serve the country, they are just a piece of loose sand in the end. They are all unruly people. There are too many people. I hope they will not cause chaos."
At the end of the day, Yunjing met at least one or two hundred people going to the border together, some for fame, some for profit, and some just out of passion.
In the afternoon, the setting sun is like blood.
It gets cold early in the north, and the late autumn breeze blows with a hint of chill.
There was no village in front of him, no store in back, and he didn't have to use his telepathy to observe the surroundings if he didn't need to see the clouds. He had to spend the night in the wilderness again.
Fortunately, he had extensive experience in spending nights in the wild, so it didn't matter.
He found a place with leeward wind and planned to spend the night here.
As a result, before he put down his salute, a strong wind blew from behind the hill, and a colorful tiger appeared and pounced on him.
He ducked slightly, but Yunjing slapped him on the ground, patted the tiger's head and said: "Just in time, you stay vigil for me tonight, well, I have to find something to tie you up so that you don't run away."
