Chapter 23: Re-entry to Yibin
Chapter 23 Re-entry to Yibin
In this way, I passed through Guangzhou with trepidation along the way. Entered the area controlled by the Guangxi general Sun Yanling. Sun Yanling is also the opposite now. Guangxi is a region with many ethnic minorities, and many people here do not recognize the imperial court at all, some people only recognize Sun Yanling, and some people do not buy anyone's account. Therefore, some mountainous areas in Guangxi have themselves sporadic rebellions. Therefore, it is not much stricter than Guangdong, relatively speaking.
In this case, after discussing with Chen Ce, Shuyun decided to take it along the edge of the mountain as much as possible, many of those places are no man's land, although it is much more difficult to walk, and there will be many snakes, insects and beasts. But after all, it is better than risking being caught by officers and soldiers. Moreover, Shuyun and Chen Ce are both good at skill, and they brought muskets. More than enough to deal with the beast. Both of them are also good at medicine. It is not a problem to take some highly effective anti-snake drugs.
Guangxi can be said to be a place with extremely beautiful scenery, lush forests, and countless strange peaks and rocks. But those snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts are also everywhere. Shuyun and Chen Ce are good at their skills, and they have a sharp weapon like a musket, but Chen Ce, who seems to be empty-handed, actually has a soft sword hidden between his belt. So there are no dangers along the way.
When you are hungry, you can hunt some pheasants and hares, and pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger. When you are thirsty, drink some spring water from the forest. lived a completely savage-like life, but fortunately, Shuyun and Chen Ce were both people who could endure hardships. Or maybe you can't stick to it.
As for the strange flowers and plants encountered along the way, with Chen Ce on the side, Shuyun could only let go of most of them out of caution. There were only a few sporadic things, and while Chen Ce was not paying attention, he picked them up and threw them into the space.
After more than a month of difficult trekking. Shuyun and Chen Ce left Guangxi and entered Guizhou. At this time, Shuyun and Chen Ce simply didn't look like people, how embarrassed they were.
Shuyun is okay, there is still a change of clothes left in the package. Chen Ce was miserable, dressed in a tattered beggar outfit. There was no way, so Shuyun could only go to the nearest town alone, help him buy clothes, and then send them back.
Alas, I blame myself for being terrified all the time in Guangdong, and I underestimated the difficulties I would encounter after entering Guangxi. caused the current situation. Fortunately, the two of them are still relatively lucky, so they can get out of the mountains of Guangxi safely, and the current suffering is only a harmless small problem.
The current Guizhou, like Yunnan, is also within the scope of Wu Sangui's potential. Wu Sangui is not only not to be underestimated, but also has strong control. So now his rule is relatively peaceful. At present, Guizhou's internal inventory is not very strict. So Shuyun and Chen Ce pretended to be father and daughter again. All the way north, to Sichuan.
The journey was smooth, but when I arrived in Zunyi, I ran into trouble. Zunyi is now part of Sichuan, and has not yet been assigned to Guizhou as in later generations. So now there is a checkpoint to Sichuan, and the inspection is extremely strict, and ordinary people are not allowed to pass through at this time.
Shuyun and Chen Ce observed here for two days, but they didn't find a good way. It is now in the hinterland controlled by the three feudatories, unlike in Macau, where it can be attacked and defended. So I didn't dare to try to buy off the guards. I'm afraid that if I don't get it right, the guards won't buy it out, but will trap themselves in.
The location of the checkpoint is that there is "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open" Loushan Pass, the throat of northern Qianbei. Therefore, it is also difficult to take other paths.
If Shuyun herself is okay, she can use the space, dodge the passing vehicles, and then pass with the cars. But now with Chen Ce, it is inconvenient to expose the space, so this method will not work.
In fact, Zunyi is a famous city with profound historical and cultural heritage. It is also a place where soldiers must fight, and it is not far from Hunan, and now Wu Sangui is fighting Hunan, so there are still some Yungui soldiers stationed here.
During the Red Army's Long March, the famous Zunyi Conference was held here, which opened up a new situation in the Chinese revolution. Then the Central Red Army conducted an excellent campaign in the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan border area - four crossings of Chishui. Thinking of this, Shuyun suddenly brightened. Yes, if you can't go by land, why not by water?
So he hurriedly asked Chen Ce, who was resting, to discuss. Chen Ce also felt that he could give it a try.
The two of them went to observe the terrain together. I found that the Chishui River was very busy with boats coming and going. After inquiring about it, I learned that there is no salt production here in Guizhou, there are many mountains, and the grain output is also small. So these are ships that come from Sichuan to carry grain and salt. Among them, there are mostly official ships, and there are also a small number of civilian ships with road guidance.
Shuyun originally planned, but if she couldn't do it, she would use the stupidest way to swim with Chen Ce in the middle of the night. Now it seems that it is not needed.
So Shuyun gave Chen Ce some silver and asked him to find an honest boatman and find a way to buy him off. If the shipowner really doesn't agree, it's a forcible threat. He must also be allowed to compromise.
Chen Ce soon brought back a ship owner who had brought salt from Zigong, a thin, swarthy man in his 40s named Lin Wazi. Late at night, Shuyun and Chen Ce hid on his boat. And kept an eye on him, and before dawn, let him set sail.
In this way, they reached Zigong all the way. Shuyun is here for the second time in this life. Zigong is rich in well salt and is a famous salt city. Beautiful environment and pleasant climate.
But Shuyun has no intention of staying here. Non-stop U-turn and rushed to Yibin. In fact, from Zunyi to Zigong, it is necessary to pass through Yibin, but Shuyun is a thief and is afraid of being discovered. didn't dare to let Lin Wazi stop the boat in Yibin halfway. I had to go to Zigong first and then turn around and go back.
Fortunately, Yibin is close to Zigong. If you walk, you won't be there in a day.
In the 14th year of Kangxi (1675 AD), September 13. Shuyun and Chen Ce, who had gone through hardships all the way, finally arrived in Yibin in the dust.
When she arrived outside the gate of Xu's house, Shuyun sighed in her heart. I saw that the gate was pasted with the seal of the Yibin government. The date was just eight days ago. Shuyun and Chen Ce glanced at each other, didn't dare to stay, and left immediately. I didn't dare to look around.
The inn didn't dare to stay, so Shuyun took Chen Ce to Liumi Temple in Niutou Mountain, where Shuyun used it last time she came to Yibin. Hopefully, Master Abbot has not been replaced. The monks I had seen could still remember themselves. Otherwise, in these extraordinary times. It's not easy for someone to take in two strangers.
Fortunately, Hui Neng, the head of the guest house who received Shuyun and them, was a little monk who had received Shuyun back then. Huineng's appearance didn't change much, and Shuyun recognized him at a glance. This is easy to do, through Shuyun's explanation, Huineng also remembered Shuyun. Chen Ce also stood up at the right time and thanked Huineng for taking care of his daughter.
When Shuyun and Chen Ce added sesame oil money, they also took the opportunity to borrow it for a few more days. Huineng only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
That's how it happened. Early the next morning, Chen Ce went to the city to inquire about the news, and Shuyun went to the back mountains to wander around without any trouble. There is a large separate courtyard on the back mountain, yesterday Huineng specially instructed Shuyun not to go there, it is the place where several elders of Liumi Temple cultivate, and it is a forbidden place in the temple. Shuyun respected the rules of the temple and did not try to go to that courtyard.
Instead, I went to a hill not far from there, which was full of tea trees, like a small tea plantation. Shuyun wanted to see if there were any good varieties of tea trees, and if there were, she cut off the branches and transplanted them into the tea garden in the space. Not to mention, it really made Shuyun find a golden camellia full of yellow flowers. Camellia is nothing unusual in this era, and it is not as endangered as Shuyun in her previous life. encountered a lot along the way in Guangxi, and Shuyun also transplanted two good plants into the space by the way. There is also an artificially cultivated plant planted by Shuyun in his previous life in the space, and Shuyun was originally not so rare for this kind of tea tree. But it's rare to see one as big as this one and more than 100 years old. Moreover, the wild varieties of this camellia are said to be only found in the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi, and I didn't expect to encounter such a superb plant here.
So Shuyun took a pair of flower scissors from the space and carefully cut off a small branch that was a little redundant. No damage was caused to the tea plant. And he planted it in the medicine garden. The tea plantation originally planted in the space can also survive with the magic of the space, but Shuyun still hopes that with the help of purple soil, its varieties can be optimized.
Shuyun walked around the tea garden again, and found no more tea varieties that were better than space. I was about to go back for breakfast, and just walked to the foot of the mountain, from the forbidden courtyard not far away, a child more than a year old ran out of the small courtyard. The child was chubby, and he had barely taken two steps when he snapped and fell to the ground. didn't cry, still lying on the ground, staring left and right with big round eyes, the tiger's head and tiger brain looked very cute.
When Shuyun saw it, she didn't care about the fact that a child suddenly ran out of the forbidden place, and hurriedly ran over. Pick him up and help him pat the dirt off his body. I touched a piece of White Rabbit toffee from the storage space, peeled off the candy wrapper, and fed it into the little one's mouth.
The little guy didn't recognize life, so he clicked his mouth twice, and stretched out his little fat hand full of nests, and his little face was full of flattery. I still want to ask for it, this fat boy, is he very familiar! Look at his appearance and style, how Shuyun looks at him, how do she feel that he is like that little cheap donkey flame.
Shuyun saw that he was funny, so she wanted to tease him, so she ignored him and turned around and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, before he took a second step, his thigh was hugged by someone. You don't have to look at it to know that it's the fat boy. Shuyun couldn't cry or laugh, thinking to herself what a broken child. Taught like this, he is not afraid of being abducted, his family is really superb.
Shuyun couldn't, turned around and squatted down, ready to ask him why he was here and who he came with. It was inconvenient for Shuyun to go to the forbidden courtyard, so she thought about asking for clarification, so that Hui Neng could send him to find his family.
But looking at the fat boy's face, Shuyun took a closer look and was immediately stunned.
