Chapter 15 The hardest thing to conquer is yourself
Update time:2012-09-24
After leaving Huaiyin Station in Huai'an City, the next stop is the East Bank Station of the Yellow River, which is Xuzhou. They came from Nanjing and belong to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In two days and two nights, they will soon enter the Yellow River Basin. The speed is quite
Fast. The ancient transportation made Zhang Ning feel the efficiency of traveling by train. Of course, this can only be the speed of a messenger. It is completely incomparable if you have to carry things during ordinary travel.
Running on the plains of Jiangsu, on both sides of the post road were crop fields, woods, and villages, where farmers, cattle, sheep, chickens, and dogs were moving slowly. Seeing the pace of life of those people, Zhang Ning couldn't help but think of the long life and the vicissitudes of life. But he
But I was riding a horse in a hurry. This situation seemed familiar, just like the busyness in my previous life. I was so busy that I finally found that my life had come to an end, and I couldn't stay or stop.
At this time, the horse suddenly slowed down and gradually stopped. Zhang Ning blurted out and asked: "What's wrong?"
Luo Yaoniang got off the horse, pinched a small stack of rice paper, turned around and glared at him: "Young man! Watch the horse and wait for me." After that, she ran into the woods. Zhang Ning thought to herself, probably to go to the toilet.
He waited for Luo Yaoniang to come back, only to see her face turning pale and covering her stomach with one hand. The two continued on their way, and she kept pressing one hand on her stomach for a long time without saying a word. Zhang Ning asked kindly: "Stomach is bad?"
Let’s eat the same thing, I’m fine.” Luo Yaoniang replied in a bad tone: “Chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping, are you annoyed?” After hearing this, Zhang Ning had no choice but to shut up.
After a long time, he didn't see her walking into the woods again. It didn't seem like she had a bad stomach. Zhang Ning suddenly realized that this girl was having an aunt! Holding her stomach was probably due to menstrual cramps. Of course he had never had any pain, but according to his knowledge in his previous life, some women
The dysmenorrhea is very severe, and I have to take painkillers if I can't stand it. It's really a critical moment. No wonder even a modern country with equal gender does not require women to serve in the military. If a lot of people suddenly come to visit during a war, isn't that a sharp drop in combat effectiveness?
However, Luo Yaoniang seemed to be quite strong. She didn't say a word and the speed of her horse did not slow down.
At this time, Luo Yaoniang took a water bag from the horse, unzipped the stopper and put it to her mouth. Zhang Ning couldn't help but advise: "Cold water, just drink as little as possible to moisten your mouth." Luo Yaoniang took a sip and was speechless.
, after a while she came back to her senses, tilting her head slightly with a smile on her face: "You do know a lot."
The so-called leaky house happened to rain all night long. Zhang Ning felt that his good luck had run out when he escaped that night. He looked up at the gray sky. The clouds were very low and it looked like it was going to rain. He couldn't help but sigh.
Said: "It would be better if it doesn't rain."
Unexpectedly, as luck would have it, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a bit cold on her face, and raindrops hit her in the wind. Luo Yaoniang said angrily: "Crow's Mouth, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak." Zhang Ning said in shock.
: "Even if I don't say anything, it still has to fall when it should. Does it matter at all?"
While they were bickering, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the two of them quickly got soaked. Zhang Ning reminded: "With your physical condition, you have been exposed to the autumn rain for a long time, can you stand it? Should we find a place to hide?"
"Luo Yaoniang said: "I don't know when it will stop yet. It's going to take a whole day and we can't stay there all day. Maybe there are people chasing us behind us. If you take shelter from the rain, others won't hide." Zhang Ning said: "
It rains in certain areas, and maybe it won't rain again if we run for a while."
It was already late in the evening, and the sky became darker after the rain. The night was about to come earlier. In the wind and rain, Zhang Ning was shivering with cold. He felt that his problem was not that big, but that he was the stubborn Luo Yaoniang.
It was a bit unclear whether she could endure it. If she fell down, she would be in big trouble. He then asked, "Would you like me to cover your belly with my hands? My hands will be hot."
Luo Yaoniang didn't say anything, so Zhang Ning took her as her acquiescence, then stretched out a hand from her waist, lifted up the hem of her top and inserted his hand into it. The smooth belly felt like silk, but it was
It was cold, so he covered it with his open palm. The man's hand might be rough, but it was very warm. Even he could feel the warmth of his palm being transferred to her abdomen, and after a while, the skin was no longer as soft as before.
It's cold.
Suddenly, I felt that this situation was very warm. There was no one on the road in the rainy night. Although the rain was cold and the wind was cold, two people would not be alone here and could keep each other warm. Zhang Ning stretched out his other hand and hugged him.
Her waist and chest were pressed tightly against her back. He clearly felt Luo Yaoniang's body trembling slightly, but she made no sound or resisted. She was actually in Zhang Ning's arms.
.
This girl has plump breasts, fat ass, but no extra fat on her waist. She has a pretty good figure, with a fat waist and butt that looks like this. Zhang Ning can wrap around her waist with just one arm.
Yes, the lines of the upper body were actually explored by him, but he didn't touch her breasts. That wouldn't be good and it was out of the scope of heating.
The horse traveled through the rain for at least two hours before it stopped. I don't know whether it stopped raining at first or ran out of the rainy area. Although it stopped raining, my clothes were so wet that I could wring water out of them. By early morning, I was still wet.
When they got up, they had not slept for two days and two nights. Zhang Ning felt that the speed of the galloping horse was getting slower and slower, and Luo Yaoniang was soft in his arms. After a while, he reached out and touched her forehead.
Her hands felt hot. She must have caught a bad cold. He hurriedly asked: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Stop for a moment."
Luo Yaoniang said "Yes" and reined in the horse as she was told. Zhang Ning immediately jumped off the horse and stepped forward to take a look. He saw that her face was bloodless and her lips were white, with a sick look on her face. Zhang Ning
He hurriedly supported her and took her off the horse. Her body was very soft, so Zhang Ning helped her sit on the roadside, turned back to get a water bag from the horse, and fed her some water. Luo Yaoniang's voice was very low.
He said hoarsely: "I have a splitting headache and no strength..." Zhang Ning said nonsense: "You are sick."
Luo Yaoniang closed her eyes and exhaled a few breaths, and after a while she said: "I can't continue on my way, otherwise I will be overtaken sooner or later. You can leave me alone and go to Beijing... In the past two days, you have seen how I let the horse go.
How to make it stop...these stage horses are all tamed...it's not difficult to control them, just slow down first and you'll get used to them after riding for a while."
"How can that be done?" Zhang Ning objected.
Luo Yaoniang grabbed his hand: "Listen to me... Our plan has reached this point, and we only need the last step. As long as we rush to the capital, we can succeed... The target of Zhou Ne and others is you,
You have to continue the matter... They will not kill me easily, killing me is useless, human life is at stake, and the risk of committing a murder is very high."
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and then said decisively: "How can you put your life on the mercy of the enemy? Besides, if you are like this, there is no need for others to kill you if you are left here. I will take you away!" After that, he went to help her.
"Wait a minute, I put rice paper under the cushion, bring me some first." Luo Yaoniang said. Zhang Ning went to get the rice paper as instructed, but it was soaked with water, so he walked over and handed it to her. Luo Yaoniang said again
He said, "Turn your back." Then Zhang Ning heard a rustling movement behind him, and he felt that his ears were a little warm.
After a while, Zhang Ning helped her in front of the horse. She couldn't even get on the horse. Thinking of her strong body two days ago, she was completely different now. Zhang Ning could only use all his strength to lift her onto the horse's back, and then he
Just went up. This time Luo Yaoniang sat in the back and he sat in front to grab the reins. Luo Yaoniang leaned softly on his back and hugged him gently. Zhang Ning immediately felt her soft breasts pressing against his back.
The feeling was very strong. He calmed down and learned to use his calves to exert slight pressure. Unexpectedly, the horse that sat down showed no intention of moving away. He changed his method and kicked the horse's belly with his foot, and the horse screamed.
The hoof ran away. Zhang Ning concentrated all his energy to stabilize his balance. Fortunately, after sitting on the horse for two consecutive days, he basically mastered the skills of riding a horse. He just drove the horse clumsily and ran, almost unable to control the speed and direction of the horse. Fortunately, he had basically mastered the skills of riding a horse.
Horses are living creatures and will not crash into the mountains. As long as they don't mess around, they will know how to run along the road. This is different from driving. If you don't know how to control the steering wheel, you will definitely run towards the side of the road.
He made himself so sweaty that Luo Yaoniang couldn't bear it and retched several times.
After struggling for a long time, they arrived at a market next to the post road. There was a gate shaped like an archway at the entrance, with three words "Longjing City" on it. This city should refer to a rural market, not a city. It was a city in the Ming Dynasty.
There were city wall fortifications. Luo Yaoniang couldn't stand it any longer and had to stop and see the doctor for a check. At least she had to change into dry clothes, otherwise her condition would only get worse.
The market in the early morning was quite lively. It was noisy and there were many people from a distance. Zhang Ning reined in the horse and prepared to dismount and walk in. Otherwise, he would not be able to control his speed and rush through the crowd and injure people, which would cause a lot of trouble.
Luo Yaoniang could no longer walk, and there was nothing she could do with her support. Her face was red and in a semi-conscious state. Zhang Ning had no choice but to carry her on his back.
Entering the market, the dusty dirt roads inside are completely different from the conditions in Nanjing city. However, it seems that everything is quite complete. Everything is sold on the street, such as melons and fruits, snacks, bamboo containers, porcelain jars, blacksmith shops, etc.
There were all kinds of things, but there was no ready-made clothing store, but there were cloth sellers. Zhang Ning was penniless, and he had five taels of silver left at home without thinking of taking it with him, so he groped around Luo Yaoniang's waist and found it.
He took off a money bag and put it into his cuff. Passing by a drug store, Zhang Ning knew that such stores usually have a doctor, and only those with a certain level of qualifications are qualified to be hired by the drug store. He thought about the priorities in his mind, and carried it on his back.
Luo Yaoniang went in to see a doctor, and as expected, there was a doctor sitting in the hall.
The doctor observed Luo Yaoniang's face and eyes, and said, "Let her change into dry clothes later." Then he asked about Zhang Ning's condition and condition. After asking, the doctor said, "It's been raining, and it's just a month."
There is no doubt that the wind and cold are invading the body." After saying that, he didn't even check for a pulse, and directly wrote a prescription and asked Zhang Ning to grab the medicine in the drug store. Zhang Ning paid the bill with scraps of silver. When the shopkeeper saw two soldiers just passing by the door, his face showed
Difficult: "Can we have copper coins? So can treasure banknotes." It turns out that Emperor Yongle issued an imperial decree prohibiting the circulation of gold and silver among the people, and required the use of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. This imperial edict was basically an empty document that could not be implemented, and its function was only to allow people to use gold and silver.
Everyone is breaking the law, but if you are unlucky at this kind of market and the people from the Bingma Division deliberately want to blackmail you, you may be unlucky. The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes have been depreciating since the day they were issued. Now one stone of rice costs
Fifty taels of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, while using real gold and silver only requires half a tael of silver. A Ming dynasty treasure banknote and a copper coin or one tael of silver are completely different things. It is strange that the imperial court treasure banknotes are only issued but not collected and there is no inflation, plus the Ming Dynasty
There was a relatively lack of copper in the early stage, and the reason why the economy did not collapse was probably because the Dragon Vein was very positive.
Zhang Ning took out a few Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, which had been soaked. He put them on the counter and said: "Then I will use the treasure banknotes to settle the bill." Then he gently pushed the piece of silver under the counter with his sleeve. The shopkeeper's understanding was just that.
Didn't say anything.
"By the way, I have something to ask for..." Zhang Ning thought that since there was no one selling ready-made clothes, he couldn't buy two pieces of cloth to wrap around his body. "We got wet clothes on the road. The patient needs to change into dry clothes as soon as possible. Can you
Sell me two sets of old clothes, as long as they are clean, the price is easy to negotiate."
