Traveling Far Chapter 70 Mountain and River Town
Not a big town, about 100 households, close to the mountains and rivers, people mainly rely on fishing and hunting for a living, the same does not worry about food and clothing, although each family also has an acre and three points of land, but if it is just farming, so to speak, no family can live without worry.
It's such an inconspicuous mountain and river town, I don't know how many are in the imperial land of the Dayuan Dynasty, although the Dayuan Dynasty is a unified Central Plains, but the Dayuan royal family is in the extreme north of the Central Plains, what can really be managed, is the northern imperial land of the Central Plains, and the rest of the Central Plains is governed by various important cities.
Take Wuxiang City as an example, 300,000 soldiers defending the city, 100,000 cultivators are stationed, and the common people are as high as a million, and the King of Liujin himself is a cultivator with superb cultivation, and he is a master of Yunhai Xianmen, and Yunhai Xianmen is extremely prestigious in the Central Plains.
The young man of the Liujin King was named, and when he inherited the throne of the vassal king of Wuxiang City, he was just the year of his establishment, which was in the eyes of many vassal kings and the royal family of Dayuan, but he was just an insignificant hairy boy, until twenty years ago, the King of Liujin inherited Wuxiang City for just ten years, and the Jin Dynasty of the Southern Regions came to invade the Central Plains, and many vassal kings were cold bystanders, and no one was willing to take the lead in sending troops to resist, even the Dayuan royal family was not very concerned, thinking that there were many vassal kings in the past, and the Dayuan royal family was in the far north, no matter what, those vassal kings would definitely send troops to resist in the endοΌ
Just when the vassal kings and the Dayuan royal family were watching each other, Wuxiang City sent troops!
100,000 iron horsemen and thousands of cultivators were all the essence of Wuxiang City at that time!
In the first battle of Luowangpo, more than half of the 100,000 iron cavalry were lost, 800 cultivators were killed and wounded, more than 300,000 soldiers of the Jin God Dynasty were killed, and more than 1,000 cultivators were killed, until the Martial King of the Jin God Dynasty was killed by a super innate cultivator of the Central Plains with a sword, forcing the Jin God Dynasty to defeat the million-strong army like a mountain, and while retreating in a hurry, even the corpse of their Martial King could not be found, until now, they have never dared to invade the Central Plains again!
Wuxiang City shocked the king in a war, and at the same time as the reputation was outside, there were countless cultivators and men who volunteered to join the army, and finally there was today's Wuxiang City, and the King of Liujin proved that his position as a vassal king was enough with his strength!

Li Zhenlang walked in the town and looked around, there were not many shops in the town that opened their doors to do business, there was only a restaurant, two butcher shops, a grain shop, and a cloth spinning shop, and the main sources of these materials were brought by those merchants.
They exchange these things for the abundant aquatic products in Shanhe Town and the prey that people have hit, and then sell them to people outside, and the profit in the middle can be eighty percent!
Li Zhenlang wandered around, and within half an hour, he walked through Shanhe Town.
The town is really small, and every household is relatively dense, and the men they meet, the hunters go hunting, the fishermen go fishing, carrying harpoon fishing nets, carrying iron guns and carrying ropes, all of them are strong and vigorous; the women are drying things at the door of their own house, and by the way, they are chatting about whose children should have a mother-in-law; the children are laughing and laughing, and the mud is throwing pot lids, and the old people gather under an old locust tree, talking endlessly about the past when they were young, and there are also some relatively quiet children, squatting aside and listening while their little eyes blink a few times from time to timeγ
This is the first time Li Zhenlang has felt the smell of fireworks in this world, and there is a warm and harmonious atmosphere in front of him, and at the same time, there is more than enough health.
The people of the town looked at the outsider with the umbrella on his back, curious and at the same time evaluating the boy's temperament, which was much more stable than the half-grown boy in their town.
The women quickly gathered around and secretly discussed, saying that the young man was handsome, and instigated a little woman in yellow flowers, and asked her to come forward and ask, how old is the young man, but he has a wife, how many people in the family, where the family lives, and everyone who has a girl reports the age and name of their daughter, and finally the little woman did not come forward, this kind of thing, they are embarrassed to ask, and the little woman is naturally not easy to speak, in case the teenager is scared away again, then they will blame themselves all, this kind of thankless and embarrassing thing, who wants to ask who asks, the little woman does not ask anyway, anyway, their daughter is only ten years old, it is still earlyοΌ
I saw a mud-faced boy, holding the lid of the freshly pinched mud pot, falling to the ground, and then walked straight to Li Zhenlang and repeated what the group of women said just now!
After Li Zhenlang listened, he grinned and looked at the group of women, which made the women laugh at the same time as embarrassment, and said that the jar was too sensible.
The man called Can'er, spreading his hands full of mud, he looked at Li Zhenlang and said: "My sister eighteen, called Yufeng, is the best-looking girl in our Shanhe Town, what, do you think it's okay?"
The little boy's words, the women who provoked him again bent over and leaned back, and the old people under the old locust tree grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Li Zhen smiled helplessly, and said to the little boy, "How old are you?"
The little boy said: "I'm thirteen, you don't have to worry about me, I have a mother-in-law to marry, and I'll marry as soon as I grow up!"
Li Zhenlang was curious: "Who is that person?"
The little boy frowned, puffed up his chest and said, "Yao Shouzhen!"
Li Zhenlang said again: "Your name is Can'er?"
The little boy nodded and said, "Wang Da Can!"
Li Zhenlang said: "Good name!"
The little boy grinned, "What's your name?" I'll ask for my sister first. β
The corners of Li Zhenlang's mouth tugged lightly: "Li Zhenlang." β
The little boy thought for a moment and said, "Have you married your mother-in-law?"
Li Zhenlang shook his head and said, "No." β
The little boy snorted, turned around and said, "Don't go, I see you can do it, I'll go and call my sister out." So saying, he ran as fast as he could.
The women on the side patted their legs and supported their waists, and while watching the little boy run towards the house with tears and laughter, they called the little woman his mother-in-law, and the little woman was embarrassed, and you also believed the words of the child.
The town is not big, a little wind and grass can alarm the windows and doors of hundreds of households, those small town girls who sit deep in the boudoir, hearing the noisy laughter outside, are all curious to look outside, some walk to the door, hold the door and stand, some lie on the window, holding their cheeks, they looked at the delicate young man with an umbrella behind him and a blue ribbon on his head, and they were reluctant to look away for a while.
Li Zhenlang felt the eyes of the people in the town, and he was also a little embarrassed at the moment, bowed his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to raise his feet and walk forward, when the mud-faced boy ran out quickly, but he did not stop, but ran directly past Li Zhenlang and shouted: "Keep chastity!"
Li Zhenlang looked back, and saw that the pair of grandchildren he met on the road were walking slowly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart at the moment, he looked at the child, but he deliberately didn't look at the child's eyes, and the childish man was also looking at him, and said in his heart that he was a coward.
The little woman stepped forward and said, "Dad, let's go away again, hurry back to the house to rest, you don't persuade you to keep your chastity, you can't let grandpa go far anymore!"
The childish child didn't speak, just kept his mouth tight, looking extremely aggrieved.
The old man frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You can't blame Shouzhen, my father wants to go, what are you afraid of when you walk a little, take advantage of it to walk more, is it difficult to be like them, eat enough and wait for hunger, and talk nonsense if you have nothing to do." β
This made the yellow-toothed old men under the old locust tree on the side glared angrily and quipped, It's okay to carry two more buckets of water, it's better than you walking a hundred miles!
The little woman was helpless and said, "Okay, okay, go back to the house and rest." β
Yao Bu waved his hand and said, "I'll go there and rest." With that, he walked towards the old locust tree.
Li Zhenlang turned around.
In each house, a pair of girls' eyes turned with the figure of the young man.
Li Zhenlang could feel it, so he deliberately lowered his head, he understood that if he couldn't give it, he wouldn't promise, he was just a passer-by in this town.
Walking through the town, the wide and endless river in front of him made Li Zhenlang frightened for a moment, and he slowly walked towards the river.
Stopping at the place where the small town is drying dried fish, and looking at the dozen or so figures on the river, I felt a dilemma in my heart.
This river can't see the edge at a glance, I don't know whether it flows east-west, or north-south, although he is on the north bank of the river at the moment, no matter which direction he goes, there is no way out, and the east and west sides can no longer see the mountain shape, which makes Li Zhenlang guess that the east and west ends of this river must be extremely far away.
I waited and watched.
Li Zhenlang thought about it again and decided not to make a detour, he planned to make a bamboo raft and cross the river south.
And at this moment, he wanted to quietly blow the breeze down the river, and look at the people who were fishing.
