The snow is like yesterday, fluttering and sprinkling, the vast field is snow-white, and the willow trees covered with ice and snow are full of trees hanging outside, like silver bars hanging on the trees, which is particularly spectacular.

"Brother Yang, you don't have to send it anymore."

Zhu Ping'an rode on a horse and waved goodbye to Yang Dacheng's family who were seeing each other off on the roadside at the entrance of the village.

"Engong, stay for another day and wait for the snow to stop, and then you're on your way. Yesterday's incident, our family is really thanks to the presence of the benevolent father, you are the savior of our family, stay a few more days, and wait for the snow to stop before hurrying. I'm in such a hurry to leave, but I don't like my family for not taking care of me. ”

Yang Dacheng's family worked hard to keep Zhu Ping'an, and thanked Zhu Ping'an from the bottom of their hearts, if it wasn't for Zhu Ping'an, their family was afraid that a catastrophe would be coming. Just with Huang Ji's style of eating people and not spitting out bones, he will definitely break up the Yang family. It was precisely because of Zhu Ping'an's help that the Yang family was spared. Huang Jidian was also cut off by the magistrate, and then Huang Jidian's past crimes were verified one by one and sent to prison. As for the other errand servants, they were also punished differently according to the severity of their crimes, so that the Yang family had no worries.

"Yesterday, I was allowed to stay overnight by Brother Yang, and it's time to hurry today. This is a long way to Beijing, and the examination date is near, so I can't stay any longer. Zhu Ping'an refused with a smile on horseback.

"Big brother, I also want to study and take the top prize."

The bear child who followed behind Yang Dacheng looked at Zhu Ping'an and shouted loudly.

"Hehe, okay, then I'll wait for you in the capital." Zhu Ping'an turned his head and smiled, and then said goodbye to Yang Dacheng's family.

In the heavy snow, a ride went north along the official road and slowly disappeared from the sight of Yang Dacheng's family.

"This is the benefactor of our Zhu family, and I will go to the painter to paint a portrait of the benefactor, and burn incense to thank you during the New Year's Festival."

Yang Dacheng looked at Zhu Ping'an's departing figure and said to his daughter-in-law beside him.

Along the official road, Zhu Ping'an, who was heading all the way north, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose, a little inexplicable.

The snow continued to fall for another day and a night. Zhu Ping'an hurried during the day, and at night he was looking for a house to spend the night, and then he would hurry the next morning, of course, when he left, he would leave more than ten dollars for the people who stayed overnight.

On the third night, we stopped at a post station in Shucheng County. With his status as a lifter, Zhu Ping'an was able to eat and stay for free for one night at the post station. There is a standard for the reception of the post station, and the standard for the reception of people like Zhu Ping'an can only be said to be generally low. However, thanks to the blessing of few people in the cold winter. The post station still received Zhu Ping'an beyond the standard, the dinner was a meat, a vegetarian and a soup, the accommodation was also a single room, and Zhu Ping'an was provided with hot water.

After taking a hot bath, Zhu Ping'an seemed to be reborn, and the exhaustion of his whole body was swept away.

I haven't read at night for several days, and I'm embarrassed to bother the owner by staying in a private house, and for farmers, the use of oil lamps is also very economical. Therefore, when staying in the village house, Zhu Ping'an went to bed early, and the habit of reading at night with the lantern that he had insisted on for many years was also put down.

There is no need to worry so much at the post station, tidy up the table, and pick up the oil lamp, but the oil lamp is not as bright and incandescent as the modern fluorescent lamp, only a little dim yellow.

However, the dim butter lamp, the light ink fragrance, is also a perfect match. You can't help but sink into it.

First of all, I recorded the bits and pieces of the road in the past few days, and I wrote it as a travel book, and when I returned home, my parents asked about it, so I could tell it to my mother. Finish writing your travelogue. Zhu Ping'an selected a copy of the book he was carrying, put it on the table and read it.

Zi said: A gentleman seeks to seek morality but not food. Ploughing also, discouragement in it; Learn also, Lu is in it. A gentleman is not worried about poverty. ”

Zi said: A gentleman has no food to eat, no place to live, and is sensitive to things and cautious in words. There is a way and righteousness, and it can be said that it is easy to learn. ”

The words are big, and the days and months are long in the text. After the exhausting wind and snow trek, reading at night with candles is also a kind of enjoyment, the pen and ink quench the thirst, and the poetry and books are tired.

In the middle of the night, I turned off the lights and fell asleep, and I had a good night's sleep.

Further north of Shucheng County is Lu'an County, which is the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Ping'an had a breakfast at the post station early in the morning before setting off, and walked for about three hours before entering Lu'an County. Lu'an County belongs to Luzhou Prefecture, there are more mountains and hills here, there is a section of the road that is not open to the official road, Zhu Ping'an had to drive his horse along the dirt road, this section of the road is relatively sparsely populated.

Zhu Ping'an walked through a low mountainous area at noon, and used the dried meat roasted on the fire at the foot of the mountain as lunch, drinking the water from the gourd kettle he brought with him. After lunch, Zhu Ping'an rode on horseback and continued to move forward, hoping to see people earlier.

"Hmph"

Not long after riding a horse, Zhu Ping'an saw a big black boar with more than 300 catties at the foot of the mountain looking for food.

When he saw the wild boar, Zhu Ping'an was vigilant.

Don't look at the pork that is always served to the table, you should be more careful when encountering wild boars in the wild. Wild boars are very fast, and their fangs can easily bring down a tree with a bowl of mouth. I've read the news before, and I know that wild boars are omnivores, and hungry wild boars can attack people, and I have seen many tragedies of wild boars attacking and even eating people on the news before.

The snow covers the mountain, and the hungry thing doesn't know what to do, but the big guy of more than 300 catties is much more difficult to deal with than the wild wolf, even the hunter has to have three or five before he dares to hunt wild boars, so Zhu Ping'an is more vigilant.

On the one hand, be wary of wild boars, and on the other hand, be wary of killing Matt.

Sure enough, the wild boar that didn't find anything to eat in the east and west arches, saw Zhu Ping'an and killed Matt's dark horse, and then rushed over regardless of it.

Zhu Ping'an had already taken precautions, pulled the reins of Matt's black horse, and rode his horse around an arc to avoid the collision of wild boars.

After swooping into the air, the hungry wild boar went crazy, pricked up its ears, stood up the hair on its body, and screamed at Zhu Ping'an, and then chased after it violently.

The speed of the wild boar is really not slow, especially in the mountains, and the home advantage of this product is even more powerful.

Looking at the wild boar that was going crazy, Zhu Ping'an calmly rode his horse down a hillside, and then accelerated downhill in an arc.

The wild boar was already fast, but now the downhill speed is even faster, and it is about to catch up.

At this moment, Zhu Ping'an pulled the reins, killed Matt's black horse and made a sharp turn, and a big stone appeared abruptly in front of him. The wild boar chased downhill too fast to stop at all, and it didn't have time to turn, so it hit the stone straight and hooked.

Listening to the earth-shattering loud noise, Zhu Ping'an felt a little painful.

Well, wild boars really don't make brain teasers.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Ping'an rode along the mountain road again on the black horse of Kill Matt, and the difference was that Kill Matthei pulled a simple sleigh made of tree branches, and a black wild boar was lying on the sled.

Zhu Ping'an didn't expect that the collision just now would become the eternity of the wild boar, which was a complete windfall for himself.

In line with the principle of not wasting it, I had to laugh at its flesh. (To be continued.) )
