Chapter 13: Enduring Hardship

The next day, Liu Song and Liu Bai stood at the mouth of the alley of their house, and they really didn't bring anything, and they didn't even tell their parents, Liu Song left a letter for his husband and asked him to send it home in the afternoon.

It's not that I don't dare to tell my mother, but I don't know what to say, saying that my sister asked them to follow the chief manager out to do business? The mother will definitely cry until the dark, and she will think that her sister is trying to harm them, so it is better to leave a book and say that she will go out to study with her classmates. If Mr. goes to say, my mother shouldn't have so many words.

"Brother, will my sister come to see us off?" Liu Bai was very excited, it turned out that his sister had borne their tuition fees all these years, so he was suddenly full of feelings by his sister, who he had not remembered for a long time. He was very happy in the martial arts hall, his brother was very good to him, and the master also taught him to study seriously, which was much better than going to his uncle's house, so he thought that this was found by his sister, and his heart was full of emotion.

"She's in the palace." Liu Song kept a straight face and didn't want to speak. Now he regretted it a little, he shouldn't have told this stupid boy so much, maybe he just said that he would go out and travel thousands of miles to broaden his knowledge. As a result, this person didn't want to go out to learn something, but he thought of meeting the thin girl in his memory.

This is something that Liu Song has never been able to face, as soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of his former self. And the girl who had blood all over her hands, but kept gritting her teeth and not crying. Then the father came back and beat the girl, the girl cried, and he laughed. At that time, he felt that it was right to cry, but now, he couldn't even look at it, that cruel child was himself. Once, I had such a cruel time.

She didn't cry like Bo'er, crying earth-shatteringly. She just kept her head down. looked at his hand that was still dripping blood, and then tears fell on the palm of his hand. Liu Song's heart twitched again, and he didn't know why. This scene made him remember it so clearly that he couldn't forget it.

"Get in the car!" A very ordinary but sturdy carriage stopped, and inside was Fan Ying's cold voice.

"Oh, Brother Fan, I'm Liu Bai, you can call me Bai'er." Liu Bai jumped into the car and did good kung fu. The car didn't move. Liu Song saw that no one came to deliver the ladder, so he sat on the wheel and didn't bother to go inside to sit. There's not much to say anyway. Outside, the air could be better.

Fan Ying smiled at Liu Bai, patted the carriage, and the car immediately moved. The car drove out of the city gates. There is a ten-mile pavilion outside the city. There was a big convoy parked. Without the majestic banner, it looks like an ordinary caravan.

"Brother Fan, don't you have a sea boat? Why take a caravan? Liu Bai still looked very happy.

Fan Ying smiled at him, "The caravan is a mountain road. ”

Liu Bai is stunned, can you take the convoy on the mountain road?

Liu Song looked at the stout men on both sides of the convoy, only himself and Liu Bai stood between them, just like children. But he didn't say anything, just stood silently.

Fan Ying got out of the car. Ride a horse and point to the countryside with a whip. "Let's go!"

So the two and a half sons followed Fan Ying to do business. Even if they didn't know how to ride horses at this time, the caravan people didn't have time to let them learn slowly, and threw two mares and threw them on the head, just a word, if they didn't hurry, they would fall to their deaths.

Liu Bai is okay, he is a martial arts student, he secretly looked at others, tightened the reins, ran two laps, and knew where the essentials were. But Liu Song is different, he was originally thoughtful, and he was afraid that people would look down on him. Now throw on the horse and grit your teeth. Even if Liu Bai ran back and taught him the essentials. small

Fan Ying's original profession was to do money business, but he really intervened in the court, mainly because when he had to keep Liu Rong on the throne, then not only could he not be rich enough to rival the country, but more importantly, he knew that if he wanted to keep Liu Rong, he had to protect Jingyou first. Without Jingyou, Liu Rong has nothing to mix with.

Even if he couldn't link Jingyou and Kangxi together, he had to put the three feudatories in the southwest together with Wu Sangui's old traitor. So, over the years, he was out for at least half of the year. Tread every inch of land with his own feet. This is not only to make his Fan Ji bloom everywhere, and then he deliberately asked people to draw a detailed map, in the name of business, in fact, to redraw the geography of the world, but also for the future when the three feudatories counterattack, for Jingyou to meet the chance to win.

Now with Liu Song and Liu Bai, there is just one article and one martial arts, and the text is recorded for me, the geography of mountains and rivers, humanistic feelings, everything you see is written down and drawn. Doesn't Liu Bai have kung fu, one is to accompany Liu Song, and the other is to ask him to find if there are many mountain and river trails, whether the locals know it or not, anyway, you have to confirm what you have or not.

I have to say that Liu Song and Liu Bai have spent a lot of money, and in addition to studying and practicing martial arts, their masters have really worked their character, at least these two people know what it means to be responsible. Even if this kind of life is miserable for them at first, but when they see that they are sent out in pairs like them, they will also complete such tasks in the same way, they will follow silently.

On the first day, they will go to see what is written and drawn, and then, on the second day, they will not do worse than other skilled hands. This made Fan Ying very happy. In fact, in the past eight years, he has been paying attention to the growth of these two people, and he actually has confidence in them, but he still needs to let them have a process, so that they can have an understanding of themselves and be convinced.

The first time he went out to do business, it was also a very unforgettable experience for the Liu Rong brothers, they were young and carefree. Then my sister's counterattack hit the bottom, and the god hated the ghost. Then, they finally entered the academy and martial arts hall, and their lives were really on the right track. So they really have to work harder than the average person, because they know how precious this kind of life is.

They actually know that they are already better off than the average person. Sometimes, however, there are many things that cannot be solved by reason. And followed Fan Ying out to do business, watching them sleeping in the mountains together, Fan Ying slept on the edge of the fire with them together, ate rice cereal made with mountain springs and dry powder, took two bites of dried meat, and then continued to walk.

Along the way, they looked for the hardest way to find, and they went to the poorest villages. Collect their handicrafts and leave the medicines and cotton cloths they need. When they arrive at Daji, they exchange what they have exchanged, get another batch of goods, and then go to the next stop.

Liu Song is different from Liu Bai, he is good at thinking, he watches Fan Ying compare the drawings drawn by everyone every day, and he doesn't know what he is doing. He sometimes stood where Fan Ying was standing, looking in the direction he was looking, but he couldn't imagine what he was thinking. (To be continued.) )

PS: Today my sister asked me to go out to dinner on Sunday, I said that it was minus nine degrees that day, and you still have to go out, she said, what does it matter. I said I don't want to go out, it's too cold, and it's better to be at home anywhere. You too, it's too cold, don't go out and join in the fun.
