Chapter 3 Fish Mountain Collection
"Orthodox years?"
Liu Juntao sat on the bed board and meditated, recalling the historical information of the orthodox years.
Suddenly, Liu Juntao remembered something, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed, "Orthodoxy? Ming Yingzong! ”
Among the several emperors in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Yingzong can be described as a great name! Not for anything else, Ming Yingzong drove his own expedition to Wara, hundreds of thousands of Ming army elites were wiped out in Tumubao, the Ming army elite left by Yongle Emperor was completely destroyed in a battle, and the Ming martial arts elite was almost burned, but the civilian group took the opportunity to control the discourse of the government and began to influence the direction of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes! The Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty is recognized by the historical circles of later generations, and the turning point of the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline!
Moreover, a series of political changes and foreign wars that occurred during the reign of Ming Yingzong and his successors after that, in a sense, can basically be said to be a continuation of the Tumubao Change, and Ming Yingzong is an emperor who witnessed the most important turning point in the middle of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking of these, Liu Juntao's heart became hot again, and he said secretly: "Although there were no slave Tatars in the orthodox years, there are still Warats and Tatars in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and I can also make a big difference!" ”
"Just ......"
Liu Juntao, who was about to boil his blood, suddenly felt that his stomach was growling, and he was immediately deflated, only to remember that he hadn't eaten all along.
In desperation, Liu Juntao endured the pain all over his body and got up, and slowly walked out of the adobe house, thinking if he could find Aunt Jing, even if it was to drink a bowl of wild vegetable porridge with thin soup and little water.
"Anyway, I know it's the Orthodox year, but where is this place? Just now, Jinggu seemed to say that this place is called Yushan Collection, but what kind of place is Yushan Collection? ”
Just thinking about it, Liu Juntao walked out of the house and looked around, only to see that there were twenty or thirty dilapidated adobe courtyards scattered around, only one courtyard in the middle of the village was still neat, but it had already shown its decline.
An unknown mountain looms to the south of the village, and the other three sides are endless plains, and the surrounding area of the village is very barren, even the vegetation is very sparse, which shows that the harvest of this village is not very good. But there is also a small stream on the edge of the village, which is crystal clear.
Liu Juntao walked over and took a picture of himself in the stream, only to see that the appearance he had crossed over was quite Zhouzheng, and his figure was also tall and straight, which was about the same as his previous life, about 1.8 meters. Moreover, his current body is much stronger than before the crossing, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"Alas! That's it, now that the matter has come to this, we can only look forward! ”
Liu Juntao's heart was horizontal, so he no longer paid attention to the changes in his appearance, but continued to look around. Suddenly, Liu Juntao was surprised to find that there was a blacksmith shop in this dilapidated small village!
Liu Juntao suddenly became interested, he never thought that in such a poor village, there would be a blacksmith?
Just thinking about it, Liu Juntao walked to the blacksmith shop, wanting to see what the blacksmith shop in the Ming Dynasty was like.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, an angry roar came, startling Liu Juntao hurriedly looked around, only to see the backyard of the blacksmith shop crowded with people, as if someone was fighting.
Liu Juntao hurriedly stepped forward to the gate of the courtyard, only to see that the young man who had come to see him before was in the middle of the courtyard, giving orders to the young men in more than a dozen villages.
Previously, because Liu Juntao's mind was scattered, he did not carefully observe the appearance of the young man, but at this time, when he looked closely, the young man's figure looked extremely tall in the surrounding crowd, and he was even taller than Liu Juntao, and he was very strong. The young man's face was also angular, and although he looked a little immature due to his age, he still couldn't hide the fortitude between his eyebrows.
"Punch! Kill! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
More than a dozen young men roared in unison, and they were even a little imposing, practicing some kind of "boxing technique".
Liu Juntao remembered the appearance of the young man, watched the villagers' drills for a while, and couldn't help but smile. Although these young men look a little imposing, they are not very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the kung fu of a three-legged cat.
To deal with these young and strong words, without using weapons, Liu Juntao is confident that he can rely on Baji Boxing to defeat one against three!
Just as Liu Juntao was weighing the strength of the dozen or so young men in front of him, the young man also looked over, signaled his subordinates to stop first, and then walked over.
"Yo he! Can you get out of bed and come out so quickly? ”
Seeing this, Liu Juntao hurriedly stepped forward to talk: "Thank you, brother, for saving me!" ”
"Thanks for what? If it weren't for Guo Yuanwai and my father to save you, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to save you! ”
Liu Juntao looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and was about to ask where the young man said Guo Yuanwai and his father were, and he wanted to thank him in person for saving his life.
Who knew that the young man's face changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "My name is Zhang Xiaojun, and I am the young and strong leader of this Yushan Collection!" How? I saw your expression just now as if you had some thoughts, don't you also have martial arts? Why don't we two play a few tricks! ”
At this time, although Liu Juntao was able to walk freely, he still felt pain all over his body, and after all, it was someone who saved him, how could he compete with others? hurriedly said a few soft words, giving Zhang Xiaojun some face.
"Humph! I forgive you for not daring! ”
After speaking, Zhang Xiaojun turned around and went back to continue training more than a dozen of his subordinates.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang, please ask where Guo Yuanwai and Ling Zun are?" I want to thank you in person! ”
Zhang Xiaojun stopped and looked at Liu Juntao, sneered and said, "My father is striking iron in the shop." As for Guo Yuanwai, No! Right there! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaojun raised his hand and pointed to the best courtyard in the middle of the village. Liu Juntao nodded and thanked him, then turned around and walked into the blacksmith shop.
In the blacksmith's shop, the fire was sparkling and sparks were splashing, and a man in his forties and fifties was making an iron farm tool shirtless, and the hammer was constantly striking the iron tires, making a deafening but rhythmic sound.
"Dare to ask, but Master Zhang?"
"Ding! Clang! ”
"Ding! Clang! ”
The man didn't pay attention to Liu Juntao, but continued to build farm tools with an iron face. The light of the fire shone on the man's face, flickering and dimming, outlining an angular face, which looked extremely resolute.
"Looking at the man's age and temperament, he should be Zhang Xiaojun's father, not only do the father and son look alike, but their temperament is almost the same!" Liu Juntao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Seeing that the man ignored him, Liu Juntao was not in a hurry, so he stood quietly and watched, until the man used iron tongs to put the red-hot farm tools into cold water to cool down.
"呲呲~~"
After a shrill sound, the man glanced up at Liu Juntao and said lightly: "Not bad!" The person who was struck by the thunder of the sky can still stand in front of me Zhang Baigui with all his beards and shadows, it seems that your kid is either talented or hard enough! Lao Tzu likes it! ”
After listening, Liu Juntao felt a chill in his heart: "Lao Tzu's dignified seven-foot man wants you to like it!" ”
However, Liu Juntao still bowed and thanked him for the first time: "Liu Juntao thanked Master Zhang for saving his life!" ”
Zhang Baigui didn't answer, but asked directly: "Where are you kid from?" How did you come to the realm of our Yushan Collection? Where's your guide! ”
Liu Juntao was taken aback when he heard this, and the others were okay to say, they could deal with the past by looking for any excuse, but there was nowhere to find this road guide, this is quite a citizen ID card of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no road guide, these villagers can escort themselves to the government!
Liu Juntao suddenly realized that he was completely a black household during the orthodox years! So, Liu Juntao stood there hesitantly, unable to say anything.
Seeing this, Zhang Baigui suddenly laughed and said, "Look at your appearance, isn't it really like my son said, you were stupid by the thunder that day?" What can you do in this poor country without a guide? Ha ha! ”
"Whew!"
Liu Juntao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said that he went out to study, but he didn't want to meet a thief on the road, not only lost his bag and road guide, but also was struck by the sky thunder when he ran away.
Zhang Baigui nodded and said, "You look like you're stupid at reading, but your body is well-proportioned, not bad!" ”
When Liu Juntao heard this, he felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly asked Guo Yuanwai about it.
Zhang Baigui sat on a wooden stool, unhurriedly lit a bag of dry tobacco, and said, "Oh! If you want to find Guo Yongzhong, it's in the courtyard in the middle of the village, you can go by yourself. ”
After Liu Juntao thanked him again, he walked out of the blacksmith shop, and said secretly in his heart: "That Zhang Xiaojun and Jinggu both respect Guo Yuanwai very much, why does Zhang Baigui not care so much about Guo Yuanwai?" ”
After a while, Liu Juntao came to the outside of Guo Yuanwai's courtyard, and was about to knock on the door to enter, when he suddenly saw Jing Gu walking towards the outside of the village with a bamboo basket on her back, so she hurriedly shouted: "Jing Gu! And wild vegetable porridge? ”
Liu Juntao shouted several times in a row, but Jinggu didn't seem to hear it, and left the village without looking back, heading towards the south of the village.
Liu Juntao looked up at the gradually growing sky, and said secretly in his heart: "Seeing that it is almost evening, where is this Jing Gu going alone?" ”
Just as he was thinking, the courtyard door of Guo Yuanwai's house opened from the inside, and a man of the same age as Zhang Baigui walked out, followed by two young people, a man and a woman.
Liu Juntao observed carefully, and saw that although the clothes of the elderly man were not gorgeous, they were quite elegant, and the three strands of beautiful hair hung down, looking awe-inspiring, and he looked like a literati at first glance.
"Presumably this is Guo Yuanwai!"
Liu Juntao said secretly in his heart, and looked at the two young people behind him, only to see that the young man was also dressed as a scholar, and he looked weak and weak, but there was a shrewd look between his eyebrows.
And the young woman looks similar to Guo Yuanwai, and she is not as pungent and vulgar as the women in the village, her delicate and elegant face looks very temperamental, and even a little capable!
"That woman should be Guo Yuanwai's daughter depending on her age, right? It's hard to say who that man is, maybe it's a son-in-law or something, right? ”
Liu Juntao was thinking secretly, and suddenly heard Guo Yuanwai laugh and say, "Haha, you are so quick in your next life?" It's terrifying! ”
Liu Juntao hurriedly saluted, learned the ancient tone in his memory, and asked tentatively: "But is Engong Guo outside?" ”
"Haha! I am Guo Yongzhong. ”
Guo Yongzhong said and pointed to two young people, a man and a woman, behind him, and said, "This is my housekeeper Tang Yu, and this is my daughter Guo Muying." ”
"Sure enough!"
The identities of those three people really made Liu Juntao guess correctly, but the identity of the young man was a little biased, but he was Guo Yongzhong's housekeeper.
Liu Juntao smiled and saluted Guo Muying and Tang Yu one by one.
After that, Liu Juntao thanked Guo Yongzhong in person for saving his life, and after greeting for a while, he returned to the adobe house where he had temporarily settled. Before leaving, Guo Yongzhong also asked Guo Muying to take some steamed buns and asked Liu Juntao to keep them for dinner.
Lying on the hard wooden bed, Liu Juntao did not feel the slightest sleep, and his mind kept flashing his experience before and after the crossing, and his mood continued to rise and fall.
Suddenly, Liu Juntao remembered Aunt Jing who left the village in the evening, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know if Aunt Jing has come back now, the wilderness of the Ming Dynasty is not as wild as the 21st century, it is estimated that there are beasts everywhere at night, right?" If you don't come back in time, something will happen! ”
But after thinking about it, Liu Juntao also smiled: "I'm really worried about it, Aunt Jing was born and raised in this fish mountain, and it is estimated that she has already returned home by now." I'd better think about my own situation! ”
So, Liu Juntao began to think about his future and destiny again, and after thinking about it, he fell asleep unconsciously.
