Chapter 154: Selfishness

Yunzhou, about five miles away from the snow cliff mountain stream, has a small town called Langya Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The inhabitants here live a simple life, but because they are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side leads to a snow-capped mountain stream, everyone can only live by hunting.

However, since a doctor came here ten years ago, the mortality rate due to illness and injury has been reduced.

The mortality rate decreased, and life naturally increased.

The small courtyard has a good view, but because of these scenery, the courtyard is smaller, so small that only one person can pass through, and the residents of Langya Town have to send only one person to give gifts at a time.

"Is Dr. Qiao at home?"

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, an old man came out of the house, the old man looked extremely majestic, like a general who killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, so that those who were not right-minded were involuntarily afraid when they saw him.

He was Langya Town, where Xuande arrived in the winter of the tenth year, at that time, no one in the town was afraid of him, but five whole years have passed, and everyone knows that he just has a cold face.

Don't look at him as an old man, but he's amazing.

The life of the people in the village is to hunt on the mountains on three sides, and then go around the ridge to the town near Yunzhou to sell, in exchange for silver to buy rice and oil, but there are many fierce beasts on the mountains on three sides, it is this old man who teaches everyone how to protect themselves, let everyone hunt together, and also trains them how to deal with what kind of beasts they face.

"It turns out that Mr. Lu is at home! This is not a few days ago to go hunting team back, this time the harvest is quite rich, and even hunted a hundred years rare white fox, everyone means to peel the fox skin for Dr. Qiao to make a cloak to protect against the cold, but also save her for many years wandering on the edge of the snow cliff mountain and suffered from the cold. ”

Everyone is afraid of snow leopards, and in the past, snow leopards would always go down the mountain and look at everyone, and later it was Dr. Qiao who went to Snow Cliff Mountain to appease the snow leopards, and it was Dr. Qiao who gave food to the snow leopards all these years.

They think about the cold of the snow cliff mountain stream, and they are always worried that Dr. Qiao is sick, of course, they also have selfish intentions, if she is sick, who will take care of the snow leopard? If there is no one to take care of the snow leopard, won't it have to come down the mountain to watch everyone?

Lu Jian, that is, the legendary missing Marquis of Annan, Lu Li's maternal grandfather bowed slightly: "You can bring things back first, and when she comes back, I'll ask her if she wants it." Have you ever hunted the white fox? ”

Li Kui immediately shook his head.

Lu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "For the time being, she will be kept in captivity first, maybe she has other uses, and I want to ask you for it!" ”

The white fox is rare in a hundred years, maybe it has some unknown medicinal value!

Li Kui immediately responded, and said, "Mr. Lu, it is definitely not possible to pull things back, we sold a lot of silver this time!" The villagers asked a cart of rice noodles and salt, and then a cart of fish and mutton, I know that you and Dr. Qiao both like vegetarian food, but isn't it almost the New Year now? For the Chinese New Year, you always have to eat some fish. There are also vegetarian dishes in the car, just less..."

Lu Jian looked over the low courtyard wall and looked at the two carts outside, one large and one small, the rice and noodle cart was a big cart, and the cart they sent this time was really enough for them to eat for a whole winter, and the small cart of fish and meat was enough for them to have a good New Year.

He smiled with satisfaction, don't look at Li Kui in front of him is just a hunter in the village, but he thinks that things are quite thorough, knowing that neither of them likes to eat meat, so they give less fish and meat.

Lu Jian understands that even if the hunting harvest is good, the life in the village has not been high, and everyone is most afraid of waste.

Plus after all, it's the Chinese New Year, and the price of vegetarian dishes in the city has already risen, where do they have the silver to buy a lot? However, the New Year's goods sent to the two of them can't be too shivering, so rice noodles are used to fill the faΓ§ade.

After sending Li Kui away, Lu Jian went back to the house and continued to look at the map at the border pass.

This map was drawn by him himself, he hibernated in Yunzhou for six years, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, he was also secretly exploring the topographical map and defense of the Huns.

His six years of time and effort were not in vain, and the map in front of him was more detailed than in their army.

When Qiao Tongtong came back, he smiled and asked, "They sent something again?" They don't forget us in their own lives, and they won't treat us badly every time! ”

Although Lu Jian didn't smile, there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, "People are inherently selfish, and they are also selfish, because they need you to help them heal their injuries, they need you to help them appease the snow leopard, so that they can live without worry, they need me to teach them skills, archery skills, etc., but... They also give back what they can give. ”

"Actually, what's wrong with being selfish? As long as they know how to be grateful and don't harm others because of selfishness, they are the best people in my opinion. Which of the so-called great lovers in the world can end well? ”

The fate of the Mu family flashed in his mind, they had no selfish intentions at first, thinking about protecting the family and defending the country, even if it was at the expense of their own lives, but what was the result?

Their death on the battlefield did not bring the incident in Beijing to a halt, but was so tired that the Mu family died tragically, if they were willing to be selfish and tough, they had the help of the soldiers of the three armies, as long as one of them returned to Beijing to explain clearly to the emperor, how could this be the result?

At most, the Mu family handed over the military power, far from the core of the power.

The Mu family is a century-old family, and the emperor no matter how much he has a knot in his heart for the Mu family, he doesn't dare to touch them at will.

Qiao Tongtong had heard Mu Yanqing say a lot about returning to the battlefield, and said lightly: "It's a pity that they didn't wake up, and when they came to their senses and wanted to keep my apprentice, it was too late, so they were accused of rebellion!" ”

Back then, if Mu Yanqing directly handed over the talisman, the Mu family would have died even with her, so the Mu family gave her a look and asked her not to hand it over, but the other party obviously didn't plan to make any mistakes at the last moment, so he wanted to kill Mu Yanqing on trumped-up charges of treason, and the people of the Mu family would naturally protect her, and the charge of treason was "confirmed".

"By the way, Master Hou, do you know the situation in Jingzhong? I've seen your injuries, and they'll probably be completely healed next month, do you plan to go back to Beijing immediately next month or do you want to go back again after the spring? I don't think the Huns are stable! ”

Lu Jian snorted coldly: "After six years of stability, they feel that they are recuperating very well, and in the spring, it is the most difficult time for them, if they are stable, it will be a strange thing!" ”

Qiao Tongtong tilted his head, and a flash of banter flashed in his eyes, "Then what is the Hou Ye going to do?" ”

"The princess, you seem to have something in your words?"

Qiao Tongtong restrained his smile, "Huang Rui, the prince of the Anguo Mansion, has returned to Beijing, he once saw me disguised as a poison doctor and talking with Yan Qing, even if he didn't know who I was at the time, I believe he would definitely check afterwards." (To be continued.) )
