Lingnan is rainy and the roads are difficult to travel, the miasma is pervasive, if you walk in remote places such as lofty mountains and mountains, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, etc., basically the past travelers are traveling in groups.

However, fortunately, Li Sanjian took the official road or post road, the road was relatively easy, there were some business travelers on the road, and there were some pavilions for travelers to rest every few miles, and there were also some post stations, hostels or inns, I have to say that the Song Dynasty court in order to facilitate the study of scholars or business travelers, these infrastructure built is still very good.

Although Li Sanjian is alone, he is not in much danger, wearing shabby Li costumes, he looks like a poor person, even so, there is no need to seek money and kill people. Unless they encounter the Ya people, that is, human traffickers, who loot Li Sanjian to other places as slaves in exchange for property, but no matter how rampant the Ya people in Lingnan are, they do not dare to blatantly act on the official road or post road.

The post station is for the food and lodging of past officials, and Li Sanjian can't stay there. However, in addition to the post station, there are also some inns or wild shops, which are opened by Lingnan people or merchants, and some wild shops are even opened by peasant couples, known as husband-and-wife shops, which can be used for general travelers to eat and stay.

It's almost there, right? Li Sanjian stood at a river crossing and said secretly in his heart, he came here with great difficulty, and he was about to enter the boundary of Qinzhou, so don't make any moths at this time...

"Boatman, how much does it cost to get to the other side?" Li Sanjian asked an old boatman who was ferrying with a bookcase on his back.

"Five cents is fine." The old boatman replied with a long pole.

Li Sanjian nodded and counted five copper coins and handed them to the old boatman, who happily took the copper coins and welcomed Li Sanjian onto the ferry.

Before Li Sanjian left, his mother Fu Erniang gave Li Sanjian the consistent copper money saved by frugality, and at the same time, Fu Erniang also borrowed the consistent copper money from Li Sanjian's maternal grandfather, uncle and others, and gave Li Sanjian a total of two copper coins, which is almost all the belongings of Li Sanjian's family.

At this time, in addition to the two copper coins, Li Sanjian also had twenty gold leaves given by Chen Yide, which was a huge wealth for Li Sanjian, and it was also a great hidden danger, so Li Sanjian just hid the gold leaves close to him, and did not dare to take them out or exchange them.

If it is known that Li Sanjian has twenty taels of gold hidden on his body, then Li Sanjian will die without a place to be buried, and he will not know how to die.

Li Sanjian sometimes really wants to throw away the gold leaf, but Li Sanjian is worried that he will study in Lingshan County, Qinzhou for a long time, so what does Li Sanjian live on?

Li Sanjian still doesn't know whether Lingshan County School needs to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees.

The ferry boat is not big, but it can carry about ten people, and the boatman has just pushed the small ferry away from the river bank with a pole, and suddenly a person ran on the shore, and shouted loudly while running: "The boatman is slow, and there is another person." ”

"I can't fit it, please wait for the next ferry." The old boatman shouted.

It's not that they can't fit it, it's that the boatmen don't want to row the boat back, knowing that it is very physically demanding to hold or row.

"Isn't there still a place there? Quickly row back, I'll give you more money. The young man of eighteen or nineteen shouted when he heard this.

Tempted by money, the boatmen slowly pushed the ferry back, but the young man seemed to be unable to wait, so he ran to a broken bridge, jumped over, and jumped onto the ferry.

With a thud, the young man jumped onto the ferry, and the small ferryboat shook violently several times.

"Good kung fu, ouch... When Li Sanjian was still admiring this person's agility, the ferry shook, Li Sanjian stood unsteadily, and suddenly fell into the river...

The ferryman suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, and the boatmen were also caught off guard, and there was no time to rescue.

When Li Sanjian saw that he was about to fall into the water, his clothes were a little wet from the river, and the young man suddenly hung an upside-down golden hook, hooked it on the boat gang, and reached out to grab Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian was so shocked that his hands and feet danced wildly and struggled desperately.

"Don't move, if you move again, you'll really fall into the river to feed the turtles." The young man shouted in a low voice.

Why don't you say feed the fish? Li Sanjian thought of it with hatred in his heart, but when he heard this, he still stopped struggling and resigned himself to fate.

The slightly fluctuating river water sprinkled on Li Sanjian's face, cool and silky.

The young man shouted, using the strength of his waist and abdomen, and threw Li Sanjian onto the boat, and then turned over and jumped back on the boat.

"Good kung fu!" Li Sanjian sat in the cabin, frightened, but he still couldn't help blurting out.

"Thank you, brother." Li San was firm and thanked him.

Seeing this, the young man bowed his hand and replied: "I was reckless and disturbed Xiao Langjun, please forgive me." ”

Because it was a young man, Li Sanjian almost fell into the river, and if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely point at the young man's nose and scold, at least he was quite complaining, but Li Sanjian did not scold but thanked him, which made the young man's good impression of Li Sanjian double.

In fact, it's not that Li Sanjian has no complaints in his heart, but that things are already like this, what's the use of scolding or complaining? At the same time, it was indeed the young man who got Li Sanjian back, and the young man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a tall figure, which made Li Sanjian also have a good impression of this person.

Besides, Li Sanjian is out alone, more things are better than less, and one more friend is better than one more enemy, right?

"Let's sail!" At this time, the old boatman sang loudly.

The hull of the boat shook, Li Sanjian clung to the boat gang, for fear of falling into the river again, the young man smiled slightly when he saw this, without any support, he stood on the bow of the boat, not moving at all.

The breeze above the river blew the young man's clothes, and he looked extremely chic.

"Xiaosheng Li Sanjian, the word is tenacious, dare to ask the name of Brother Tai?" Li Sanjian then asked.

"Under the surname Yao, the name Xing, the name Shuxing." The young man replied, "Xiao Langjun is single, where is this going?" ”

"Xiaosheng went to Lingshan County, Qinzhou to study." Li Sanjian replied.

"Oh, I see." Yao Xing frowned slightly when he heard this: "Lingshan County in Qinzhou is a small county, what is there to learn there?" ”

"Hey, what Brother Tai said is very true." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Even so, it's much better than the place where Xiaosheng lives." ”

"Well, Xiao Langjun is not Han?" Yao Xing looked at Li Sanjian, who was dressed in Li costumes, and asked.

You are not a few years older than me, but you screamed at a small Langjun, which made Li Sanjian cry and laugh in his heart, but Li Sanjian still replied: "No, my father is Shao Wuren, and he is an authentic Han Chinese." ”

"Oh? Forgive me for taking the liberty of being your father. Yao Xing asked.

"My father is deceased, and my mother is the only one in the family." Li Sanjian replied gloomily.

At this time, Li Sanjian had long forgotten the past, in essence, Fu Erniang was indeed Li Sanjian's mother, which was a fact that could not be changed.

"I see, Xiao Langjun mourns." Yao Xing's father has also passed away, and there is only one mother in the family, which makes Yao Xing suddenly feel sympathy, Yao Xing then asked softly: "Since you are Han, why are you dressed like this?" ”

"My mother is a Li person, not a Han person, and her family has been poor since she was a child, so she went to Lingshan County, Qinzhou to study and find a way out." Li Sanjian replied honestly.

"If a bird wants to fly high, it will flap its wings first, and a person will read first if he wants to improve." Yao Xing smiled slightly: "But what's the use of burying your head in reading?" ”

"Huh? How can reading be useless? Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard this: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is only a golden house, how is it useless?" ”

"Hehe, Xiao Langjun is in a wild place, maybe it is not the situation that my Great Song is currently in." Yao Xing said: "My Great Song Dynasty currently has a Khitan enemy in the north, and in the northwest is fighting against the western thieves. A good man should abandon his pen at this time and serve the country in the army. ”

Li Sanjian didn't think so at all when he heard this, although Li Sanjian lacked historical knowledge, he also knew that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, or in other words, he admired literature and suppressed martial arts. Moreover, Li Sanjian's small body does not allow him to abandon literature and martial arts...

Li Sanjian is a pragmatist, and Li Sanjian will learn whatever is useful and promising.

At present, it seems that reading is indeed a shortcut for Li Sanjian to get rid of poverty, and this cannot be questioned.

"Abandon the pen and serve the country in the army?" Li Sanjian then asked with a smile: "Wu can serve the country, can't the text be successful?" ”

"Literati?" Yao Xing shook his head and said disdainfully: "In addition to intrigue, what else will it be?" ”

The party struggles in the imperial court are continuous, attacking each other, and exhausting the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, Yao Xing still knows a little about this, Li Sanjian doesn't understand, and Yao Xing doesn't want to continue talking.

Li Sanjian didn't think so, and Yao Xing didn't bother to talk nonsense with this Yidi child, so the two were speechless for a while and fell into silence.

"Brother Tai is also going out to study?" Li Sanjian saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so he asked.

"Yes, yes." Yao Xing glanced at Li Sanjian and replied.

"Oh? What does Brother Tai plan to study? Li Sanjian asked curiously.

"The Art of Vertical and Horizontal and the Way of War." Yao Xing replied softly.

"Knowledgeable." Li Sanjian asked again: "Who does Brother Tai plan to learn from?" ”

Do you know what the art of vertical and horizontal is and the art of war? Yao Xing secretly felt funny in his heart, Yao Xing didn't want to answer, but for the sake of this kid's politeness, he still replied: "I plan to learn from Mr. Yingbin and practice the art of vertical and horizontal and the art of war." ”

Who is Mr. Yingbin, Li Sanjian doesn't know anything about it, if Li Sanjian knows that Mr. Yingbin is Su Shi's brother Su Zhe, I don't know how he feels?

"Who is Xiao Langjun's master?" Yao Xing then asked casually.

"The teacher is Mr. Dongpo." Li Sanjian replied proudly.

What? Mr. Dongpo? Yao Xing looked at Li Sanjian in a daze when he heard this, and didn't say anything for a while.
