Gao Pragmatic looked at the wild fruits picked by Huang Zhiting, looked left and right one by one, was amazed, and asked, "Miss Huang, what are these things, how did you know them?"

"The daughter of the Guangxi Tusi family is not as beautiful as your Han people, our Tusi position is hereditary, sometimes there is no direct male in the family, and the daughter has to take over, so the son understands, and the daughter must also understand." Huang Zhiting explained with a smile: "When marching and fighting in the mountains of Guangxi, sometimes the military rations are definitely not enough, so it is possible to find some wild fruits and wild vegetables as a supplement to the military rations.

She happily took out a few different wild fruits from the straw basket and stretched out her hand to Gao Shishi to see, and introduced, "Look at these wild fruits, they are called Bufona, Yellow Peel Fruit, Myrtle and Prickly Pear, these fruits can not only be eaten, but also can be used in medicine, but this is complicated, you don't understand." ”

Gao pragmatic and sincerely said, "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, the ancients did not deceive me, and I was taught." ”

Huang Zhiting couldn't help but be extremely satisfied when she saw that he said so sincerely for the first time, and a pair of beautiful big eyes smiled like a crooked crescent, but she immediately took out another straw basket and said to Gao Shishi, "By the way, I see that you have been bitten by mosquitoes very much, and there are probably blisters on the soles of your feet. ”

Gao pragmatic looked at the herbs she said, and sure enough, he didn't know any of them, but although he attached great importance to medicine, he didn't plan to learn it, because in his impression, medicine is quite a complex knowledge, and it is by no means a matter of asking a few words to get started.

However, the more grateful he became to Huang Zhiting, he said again, "I'm really tired of Miss Huang, and I'm ashamed." ”

Huang Zhiting glanced at him, and saw that he didn't look like a mockery, nor like a perfunctory, so he was happy, but he said, "It's good that you know the trouble, although I know these things, I usually don't need to pick them myself, but you don't have to worry about it, just take it as a reward for me thanking you for saving my life." ”

Gao pragmatic nodded, didn't say anything more, but said in his heart Although this Huang girl's temper is good and bad, but her heart is not bad, in terms of her identity in Guangxi, she is willing to help me a "little Xiucai" personally pick fruits and herbs, it seems that she can't just think that she is interested in my so-called three-in-a-row, if it is not impossible to help her in the future, anyway, there is no harm to Daming.

He was silent, he didn't eat wild fruits first, but he bit those seemingly simple herbs according to Huang Zhiting's instructions, and almost wiped them all over himself.

Huang Zhiting was just instructing him how to use medicine at first, but then somehow, a thought popped up in his mind that this figure was quite good-looking, neither strong like a bear, nor thin like a monkey.

Then suddenly I woke up, and secretly took a sip of bah, what am I thinking, forgive me.

In fact, their Huang family was obviously born as a Han general in the Song Dynasty, and Bu Luotuo is probably not her grandfather

After finishing the medicine and eating enough wild fruits, Gao Shishi sighed and said, "Miss Huang, when will we be able to get out of the mountains, I'm really not used to running around naked all day long." ”

Huang Zhiting couldn't help but laugh "poof", and said half-truthfully, "I thought you were quite happy." ”

Gao was surprised, "How can this be so happy", he couldn't keep up with Miss Huang's train of thought again.

Huang Zhiting didn't answer, just tilted her head and calculated, "There is one good news and two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"This" Gao pragmatic sighed, "In this situation, the bad news is not strange, let's listen to the good news first." ”

Huang Zhiting smiled and said, "The good news is that if there are no accidents, we will probably be able to find the village tomorrow, and maybe you can find a dress for yourself to cover up your ugliness." ”

"What about the bad news"

"Bad news" Huang Zhiting blinked, "First, we are going to enter the Bazhai area tomorrow, almost all of them are Yao Villages, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to meet the Han people Second, the two of us are penniless now, even if we find Yao Village, and people don't plan to kill you alive, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to get clothes from them." ”

When Gao Pragmatic heard about Yaozhai, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said, "Yaozhai is too dangerous, they have just been suppressed by the imperial army, I am afraid it is the time to hate the Han people, I go to that kind of place at this time, wouldn't it be to deliver vegetables to the door Huang Girl, or let's think of a way to go around." ”

Huang Zhiting grinned, "It turns out that you are not only afraid of snakes, but also Yaomin, I thought that your Han family was not afraid of heaven and earth." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Huang, don't be funny, don't be afraid of heaven and earth, it's not a fool, it's not good to live, ants are still greedy, it's not human."

"Yes" Huang Zhiting showed a thoughtful look and thought for a while, "But I have heard a sentence, what is called tens of millions of people, it doesn't seem to mean that." ”

"Shrinking from self-reflection, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go." Gao Shishi smiled bitterly, "These words come from Mencius, you can roughly understand that as long as it is righteousness, even if tens of millions of people oppose it, I will not move forward." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what it means, why don't you listen to Mencius," Huang Zhiting said as he looked at him with wide eyes.

Gao Shicheng sighed, "Miss Huang, Mencius still has a sentence, I don't know if you have heard it."

"Uh, what's the matter?" asked Huang Zhiting with some weakness.

Gao pragmatically said, "If it is not fate, it is obedient to it, so those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall." Those who die in their own way, the righteous life also shackles the dead, and the non-righteous life is also shackled. ”

Huang Zhiting was dumbfounded, laughed dryly, and said emptily, "What does this mean?"

Gao pragmatically smiled, as if teaching a student, and said gently, "This sentence is the origin of the gentleman not standing under the dangerous wall." So, Miss Huang, you see, Mencius said that although tens of millions of people go to me, that refers to the need to sacrifice their lives to take righteousness, but the premise of sacrificing their lives to take righteousness must first be where the righteousness is, and now in the place where the Yao people gather in Bazhai, what is the righteousness is just to give away their lives in vain, the so-called death is lighter than the feathers, and the weight is heavier than Mount Tai, and it is not the way of a gentleman, I don't do it. ”

The words were actually righteous.

On the recognition of herbs and medicines, high pragmatism is not enough to give Huang Zhiting shoes to discuss the scriptures and exegesis, and Huang Zhiting is a highly pragmatic opponent

So as soon as Gao Shishi's words came out, Huang Zhiting knelt down directly, yes, and immediately said, "You seem to be very reasonable."

Gao Shishi's expression was relieved, but Huang Zhiting looked distressed, and said hesitantly, "But if you don't go to Bazhai, it's not easy to go in other directions." ”

Gao Shishi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?"

Huang Zhiting said, "If you don't take Bazhai, then you can only take a detour from the south or north, not to mention that this detour will have to be at least one or two hundred miles more, even if you don't care about this, the detour is very troublesome." ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and thought about it, and puzzled, "Bazhai is close to Penzhou in the south, and Xincheng County in the north, one is governed by the imperial court officials, and the other is governed by the Mo's Tusi, both of which are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, what's the trouble?"

"The first thing I ran into when I went south was not Pennzhou, but Nandanwei." Huang Zhiting shook his head and said, "Zhang Gongzi, you may not know that the imperial court is in Guangxi, and the three guards closest to the left and right Liangjiang Tusi are Qingyuanwei, Nandanwei and Nanning Wei from north to south, among which the main task of Nanning Wei is to deter our Guinan Tusi, especially my Huang clan Qingyuanwei is to deter Guixi Tusi, especially the Cen family and Nandanwei."

Before this war, its main task in peacetime is to deter Bazhai, and then deter the Zhao family's Si'en Mansion and other places, and at the same time to bear the responsibility of supporting Qingyuanwei or Nanning Wei at any time You think about it, it is a guard to be responsible for so many duties, if it is not strengthened, how to do it So, Nandanwei is the strongest guard in Guangxi's official army, if it is not for Guilin has three guards, I am afraid that Guilin's officers and troops may not be stronger than Nandanwei. ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled bitterly, "What is the attitude of that Gao Xun now, we don't know yet, in case Nan Danwei has also been dispatched to chase down me and Cen Ling's little people, at this time, we will appear near Nan Danwei again, just like you said, it will become a food delivery."

Gao Pragmatic is naturally not afraid of Nan Danwei, but he has only been in contact with Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting for a day or two, and he has already learned a lot of inside stories between Guangxi Tusi, and he still wants to continue to learn more about it, how can he expose his identity so early, so he must consider Huang Zhiting's concerns.

He thought for a while and asked, "Okay, even if Nan Danwei is not easy to walk here, then it shouldn't matter if you go to Xincheng County under the rule of Mo's Tusi, I remember that Mo's is not very strong among Guangxi Tusi, as long as Miss Huang shows your identity, I'm afraid that Mo's won't honestly send you back to Siming Mansion."

Huang Zhiting shook his head, "The strength of the Mo family is not very strong, but his family's foreign aid is not weak, his family can sit firmly in Xincheng County, relying on the support of the Cen family, well, of course, the imperial court is also willing." ”

This was an unexpected situation, and Gao Pragmatic asked, "The reason why the imperial court is willing must be that they don't want to directly face the Cen family, so it is beneficial to the imperial court to have the Mo family as a buffer." So why did the Cen family support them, is it just because they need a buffer between them and the imperial court?"

"Hey, it seems that you are really not talking nonsense when you say that the benefits of pen and ink are in politics, this girl just said casually, you can see these at once" Huang Zhiting glanced at Gao Pragmatic in surprise, and said in her heart If he is really so powerful, I Siming Mansion really needs such a person, but I don't know how my father can keep him If it were me

Her face turned red, and she quickly threw this bad idea out of her mind, and said in a disguised manner, "But what you said is not complete, of course you are not to blame, there is a reason that outsiders will never know." ”

Gao pragmatic pretended to hesitate, "Since outsiders will never know"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Huang Zhiting now wants to attract this talented Zhang Gongzi to work in her Siming Mansion, and he said very generously, "Do you know the Mo's Northern Dynasty in Annan?"
