After spending more than ten days in Chai Jinzhuang, Chao Yong and Wu Song were inseparable, fighting each other every day. Under the guidance of Wu Song, a good teacher, Chao Yong improved rapidly in his boxing and kicking skills.
The friendship between the two is also getting deeper and deeper day by day. The brotherly relationship with Chao Yong reminds Wu Song of his brother Wu Dalang.
After enduring it for a few days, Wu Song no longer cared about being involved in a lawsuit and planned to return home.
Chao Yong also knew that he had not killed anyone, and he would get the news after a while and prepare to return home. However, he was delayed because of malaria and met Song Jiang who had also fled.
Although Chao Yong didn't know if Song Jiang would kill anyone, he was afraid that if Song Jiang and Wu Song got to know each other, given Song Jiang's personality, Wu Song would still be unable to escape Song Jiang's control.
Therefore, I did not advise him very much. Counting the days, the birthday event was about to happen, so the two of them came together to say goodbye to Chai Jin.
Chai Jin heard that the two of them were about to leave, so he took Chao Yong's hand and said, "Brother Wu Song is going back to his hometown to visit his brother, and Chai Jin dare not delay. Brother Yong has nothing to do, so why not let Chai Jin entertain him for a few more days."
Through these days of observation, Chao Yong discovered that Chai Jin was not a careerist. He just liked boxing and stick kung fu and made friends with heroes after living a carefree life. Otherwise, he would not treat heroes like Wu Song indifferently because of trivial matters.
And because he belongs to the royal family of the former dynasty, it is impossible for him to go to the frontier to perform meritorious service. Therefore, his martial arts training is only to strengthen his body and not to do any hard work. His martial arts skills can be said to be sparse, but it does not hinder his hobbies.
Since Chao Yong would not become an enemy in the future, Chao Yong naturally wanted to be friends with Chai Jin, who had many contacts.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "When I left home, I promised my mother to return home in two months. Counting the days, I have been wandering away for more than two months. Now it is time to return home as soon as possible, so as not to worry my mother. I will be free someday.
Come and bother me again."
The ancients valued filial piety first. When Chai Jin saw the two of them talking like this, he had no choice but to say: "Since you two want to return to your hometown to fulfill your filial piety, Chai Jin doesn't dare to delay. So you two will stay for one more day and let Chai Jin take care of you."
Put it into practice, tomorrow Chai Jin will personally send you two out of Cangzhou."
Seeing Chai Jin's hospitality, the two had no choice but to stay for one more day.
Early the next morning, Chai Jin brought several village stewards to see them off.
When the group came out of Zhuangzi, Chao San had already brought two horses to wait. Chai Jin looked at Chao Yong and also gave Wu Song a horse.
The three of them said goodbye. Chai Jin took two packages and said, "You two have a long way to go back home. Chai Jin asked someone to pack some changes of clothes and travel expenses. Don't refuse."
These days, Chao Yong has also learned about Chai Jin's style. As long as a hero passes by, he will definitely give him money before leaving.
Although Chao Yong still had some money on him, if he refused, he might be underestimating Chai Jin's financial burden. He took the package, cupped his hands and said, "We will all bear in mind Chai's kindness. The senior official will be free in the future.
You must come to Dongxi Village, Chao Yong will serve you a drink to welcome you."
Chai Jin smiled and said: "Chao Tianwang is famous, and Chai Jin has admired him for a long time. Chai Jin will definitely pay a visit when he has time. Let's hit the road before the sun comes out. Chai Jin will see you two out of Cangzhou."
Chao Yong said hurriedly: "After seeing you for a thousand miles, I have to say goodbye eventually. The high officials will stay here. I will come back to bother you when I have free time in the future."
Chai Jin had already taken the reins from the steward's hand, climbed onto his horse, and said with a smile, "Chai Jin's left and right are fine, so I'll see you two off."
When Chao Yong saw this, he had no choice but to mount his horse.
The group walked for more than ten miles, Chao Yong said goodbye again and again, and then Chai Jin rode back home.
Seeing Chai Jin walk away, Chao Yong smiled and said: "There are no false scholars under the great reputation. Official Chai is really hospitable."
Wu Song said: "He is from the royal family of the former dynasty, and he has a very grand appearance. After all, he is not from the same family as us. When I came here before, he treated me very kindly, but later he listened to the dealers' gossip, so he became distant and slow to treat me. If it were you and me. How can we be provoked by others if we are brothers?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "He is a member of the royal family. It is rare to be able to make friends with people like us, so we should not be too demanding. What are your plans for returning home this time?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Wu Song's eyes, and he said: "Last year I killed someone and ran away, so I couldn't make a living. Now I just miss my brother and am afraid that he will be bullied. If he is doing well, I will quietly check on my brother and then go to Dongxi Village to find you. , if someone bullies him, he will no longer be beaten to death, and he will have no choice but to flee the world."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Yuncheng County is next to Dongping Prefecture. I have never seen my brother's sea arrest official documents. I think my brother did not kill anyone at the beginning, otherwise there must be sea arrest official documents to Yuncheng County. If he only injured someone , Brother Wu has probably spent money to understand the lawsuit for his brother. But I don’t know what kind of life my brother is going to do after returning home?"
Wu Song shook his head and said: "I don't have much plan. If I don't kill anyone, with Wu Song's hands and feet, I won't worry about starving to death."
A few months in advance, Chao Yong didn't know whether Wu Song would encounter a tiger in Jingyanggang. If he couldn't kill the tiger, he wouldn't be able to do Dutou, and many things might not happen in the future.
"If my brother can't find any good way to make a living, just bring Brother Wu to Dongxi Village to find Chao Yong. Then my brother and I will work together to find a way out."
"Definitely, I visited my brother. If nothing happens, Wu Er will definitely go to Dongxi Village to find his brother."
Chao Yong and Wu Song traveled all the way and stayed overnight. They encountered several public interrogations along the way. As expected, no one arrested him, and Wu Song felt relieved.
The sun was scorching high in the sky, and even though there were horses walking for me, I was still sweating profusely after walking for a long time.
Seeing the city he had passed by when he came, Chao Yong said happily: "The city of Qizhou is ahead. We might as well go to the city to have lunch, avoid the sun, and cool down before we hit the road. There are fine wines from Zizhou in the city. Pour the well to quench your thirst."
Zizhou pulled down a well, the water in the well was basically level with the well head, the water in the well was clear, and the well body inclined into the ground. It is said that Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of this dynasty, led the army to conquer the north and south. When passing through Gaoqing, it was hot and droughty, and the soldiers He was tired, his mouth was dry, and his mood was agitated. He happened to see a well on the road. The water in the well was clear, cool and pleasant, but the well was deep and difficult to draw from. He thought silently in his heart: "The well water knows my heart, and the well wishes me success. Please pour out the well to help me." Who knows? , the well really tilted slowly, and the water from the well slowly flowed out. The army drank freely, and the water level did not drop. After solving the urgent need, the soldiers continued to march, and fought several great victories in succession, and finally became the hegemony of the generation. Tai After the ancestor ascended the throne, he felt grateful for the well's help and sealed it with his own handwriting as "The Overturning Well".
Later, some merchants took water from the pullover well to make wine. The resulting wine was sweet and elegant, and gradually became a famous wine in Jingdong.
After traveling all morning, Wu Song was also very thirsty. He had heard about the name of Zizhou's Pull Down Well for a long time, but he never had the opportunity or money to taste it. Hearing this, he swallowed his saliva and said: "Then go quickly, we will wait for the day." Let your head fall down a little and start on the road again.”
At that moment, the three of them galloped towards Qizhou City.
