Chapter 397: Seeing and Hearing

The conditions of the old man's house are indeed not very good, just like the house where Fang Jing slept at this time, or the room vacated by his children, except for a bed built with a wooden shelf, there is a wardrobe, and there is nothing else.

Fang Jing lay on the wooden bed built on the wooden frame, wanting to sleep, but couldn't sleep, accustomed to the comfort of home, this trip out, for so many days, every night, you have to sleep in the middle of the night.

After dawn, Fang Jing got up, put on his burden and sword, and was ready to say hello to the old man's house and leave in a hurry.

"Little brother, are you awake?" And the old man's family had already gotten up before Fang Jing got up, and for them, it was common for them to get up early and work for some time.

"Uncle, thank you, I have to take advantage of the fact that the sun has not appeared at this time, and hurry up." Fang Jing walked out of the door, thanked her father-in-law's family, and then walked out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the official road.

"Little brother, take care, pay attention to the infestation of wild beasts on the road." The old man's family sent them out of the hospital and shouted loudly at Fang Jing, as for whether Fang Jing heard it or not, they didn't know.

"Dad, this little brother is very good, and he doesn't seem to have the problems of those who read." The man looked at Fang Jing's departing back and said to his father.

"What's wrong with readers? The reader is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun in the sky, and there is a Wenqu Xingjun in our family, you still talk like this, believe it or not, I will smoke you. The old man was a little angry, but his son mocked the scholar and reprimanded loudly.

The man shrank his head, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly went back to the yard to prepare the farm tools needed for today's work, but his lady walked out of the stove room.

"Dad, husband, what about the pot chicken?" The woman went to the stove room early in the morning, and thought that she would make breakfast for the person who had stayed overnight, and then hurry away, but she did not expect that the man had already left, so she came out of the stove room and asked the old man and her husband.

"That little brother is also a kind-hearted person, he didn't want to go back yesterday with some copper coins, and he left most of the half pot of chicken down, and when it was time for breakfast, our family would eat it again." When the old man heard this, he said a word to the woman, and then, with his son, he went down to the field with farm tools.

At this time, Fang Jing had already stepped on the official road, walking slowly, although there was no sun in the morning, it was not hot, and the mood was naturally much better.

Two eyes, staring at the periphery of this official road, although there is some farmland nearby, but in the distance, it is a mountain forest, if you want to come to this mountain forest, there must be a lot of beasts, just now Fang Jing heard the old man say to be careful of beasts, so there is such a conclusion.

When Fang Jing walked for half an hour, the side of the official road was basically a mountain forest, and the dense thorns were not enough to show that the trees and thorns in this mountain forest were dense and high, and it could be said that it was basically difficult for people to enter, unless they set a fire, it was possible.

However, for the matter of setting fire to the mountain, in Fang Jing's previous life, it was absolutely forbidden, and in this Tang Dynasty, it is also irrelevant to burn some, of course, if it really causes any fire, then this is a lawsuit, so ordinary people will basically not do such stupid things.

On both sides of the official road, there are some small animals that sprang out from time to time, snakes can be said to be the most, and of course, occasionally a small four-legged animal, such as a squirrel, will run out.

For these, Fang Jing has long been surprised, in this Tang Dynasty, people live in the eyes of animals, you can imagine, how many animals there are.

Along the way, there were no large beasts coming out of the mountains and forests, otherwise, Fang Jing would definitely have to catch one, even if it was a flower chicken or a flower pig.

In broad daylight, there are basically few large beasts running to the official road, although this official road is small, but it is also an official road, there will always be people on the road, and on this official road, there are still a lot of ruts, I think it is estimated that it has been pressed out recently.

It was not until noon that Fang Jing saw a small village, but Fang Jing did not walk in the direction of the village, but carried a hare caught on the way, picked up some firewood nearby, and dug a pit.

He went to a stream not far away, disposed of the hares, sprinkled them with spices, gathered a lot of leaves, wrapped the hares, threw them into the pit of earth, and then threw a lot of firewood and began to burn.

Today, Fang Jing wants to eat a flower rabbit similar to a flower chicken, and he doesn't know how it tastes, anyway, it's almost time for lunch, and the sun is big, so he just chose this time period to make a lunch for himself, which is also a beautiful thing.

An hour later, Fang Jing sat on the side of the official road, biting the rabbit meat, feeling that the taste was not ordinarily good, maybe because of the seasoning, or maybe because he was in a good mood, at least in his mouth, the taste was definitely not bad.

The summer noon sun can really roast people, and after eating rabbit meat, Fang Jing has been sitting on the side of the official road to rest, looking at the small village in the distance.

After another hour, Fang Jing got up and continued to hurry, but on his head, he was wearing a straw hat from the mute fairy.

It was still so slow, and there were no pedestrians on the road, and when they approached the vicinity of the village, a big black dog came out of the village and barked wildly at Fang Jing.

"Go, be careful I give you a stone." Fang Jing shouted at the big black dog in his mouth and continued his journey, but the big black dog, as if he hadn't heard it, chased Fang Jing and barked wildly, while staring at Fang Jing from time to time, as if he had encountered some prey.

Far away from the small village, the big black dog was gone, and Fang Jing began to see mountains and forests again, these have long become the norm for Fang Jing, just like Fangjia Village, which is also full of mountains and forests, and he can't get used to it anymore.

A day later, on the morning of the same small official road, Fang Jing ushered in a fellow traveler carrying a burden, and this passer-by was not a trader, but just a relative.

"Little brother, you have traveled all the way, but it is a little far, Jinzhou has come here, not to mention seven or eight hundred miles." Carrying the burden, a man walking next to Fang Jing opened his mouth and said to Fang Jing.

"It's not too far, Jinzhou comes by boat all the way, and you don't need to walk a lot, but it takes two days for you to go to a relative's house, which is a little inconvenient." Fang Jing knew that this string of relatives was already a little difficult, just like Zhang Xiaoxia's mother's family, who had to go back and forth for several days.

"It's not that there is no way, there is a donkey at home, but it's a pity that the boy is gone, otherwise he will ride a donkey." The man said to Fang Jing as he hurried.

"Yes, the road is difficult, and there are no carriages, so it does take some time." Fang Jing agreed with the man's statement.

"After my sister got married, she finally gave birth to a son this year, and I, as an uncle, am also happy in my heart, what are you afraid of on such a small road, even if it is far away, I am willing." The man excitedly talked about his sister's birth of a son.

In this era, the son represents the incense, with a son, can be regarded as a normal woman, if you can't give birth to a son, the in-laws may drive the woman out, of course, and leave is quite normal, but this is not the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that it is the border people, and the possibility is not too big.

"That's a good relationship, if you have a son, you can pass on an incense, you have to be generous as an uncle, otherwise your little nephew, when he grows up, he has to scold you." After Fang Jing heard this, he knew something in his heart, and joked with this man with a smile.

"That's it, you didn't look at my burden, but I caught three chickens to make up for my sister." Fang Jing was joking, but in his ears, it felt like he was congratulating, and he didn't forget to tell Fang Jing that there were three chickens in the burden he carried.

In fact, when he beat that man and walked with him, Fang Jing knew that there was something in this burden, seeing that this was on the man's shoulders, it had already pressed some of it, although he didn't use his divine sense, it was just an estimate in his heart, and he just started to know, so it was naturally impossible to say anything.

"After a woman gives birth, she has to make up for her body, if her family is more comfortable, you can go to a doctor to prescribe a prescription, grab some commonly used medicinal herbs and make chicken soup to drink, which is very beneficial to the body." After Fang Jing listened, he also gave the man some suggestions.

"Brother Xie reminds, let's take a look when I get to my sister-in-law." After listening to Fang Jing's words, the man was also estimating something in his heart, after all, they were not wealthy families, and this medicinal material was not cheap.

The two walked all the way, chatting all the way, Fang Jingzhi also knew the situation in this vicinity, although it was not as good as Shangjia Village, but it was also much better than the original Fangjia Village, at least the people here were rarely hungry, and there were few people here who were recruited to fight, so there were naturally more men.

At night, the two spent the night in a thatched hut near the official road, eating the hare that Fang Jing went to hunt, which made the man happy.

And this thatched shed is used for people nearby to rush and stay overnight, and the man also told Fang Jing that there are many such thatched sheds along the way.

While the two were chatting, the night was getting darker, and then the two fell asleep in the thatched hut, and some insects and frogs sounded around them, which also brought some peace to the night.

Fang Jing didn't start to fall asleep until midnight, but before he fell asleep, he had already checked if there was any danger nearby, and in this strange place, at least he had to ensure his own safety.

On the morning of the second day, after walking together for more than two hours, they came to the intersection of an official road and a small road and stopped.

"Little brother, there is still a day's journey from here to Xingzhou, you have to be careful along the way, there are still some bandits on this road, this trail is the way I want to go, my sister's village is the end of this trail." Coming to a small crossing on the edge of the official road, the man said goodbye to Fang Jing.

"Thank you, big brother, for reminding you, you have to be more vigilant along the way." Fang Jing stood on the official road and watched the man who had been with him for a day and a night, and his mood was quite complicated.

For Fang Jing, the man is an honest family, an ordinary farmer, but in the nearby villages, there will always be some bullies and village bullies, and even in the past, there were often mountain bandits looting, but in recent years, there have been fewer mountain bandits, but they can still occasionally hear some news.

Fang Jing didn't understand what kind of mountain bandits appeared in the peaceful Zhenguan Year now, the world is too peaceful, if you don't go home to farm and work, why do you still have to carry your head to be this mountain bandit?

If you don't understand, you don't understand, this road still has to go, after seeing this man leave, Fang Jing returned to the official road and headed towards Xingzhou.

Here away from Xingzhou, according to the words of the man, it is a day's journey, and it is estimated that it is only about twenty or thirty kilometers, but this official road is not a good official road, and it is less and less like an official road.

Fang Jing didn't think about anything, let's go slowly, anyway, as long as I go forward, I will definitely be able to get to Xingzhou, even if there are any mountain bandits, it is just to deliver food, and this place is so close to Xingzhou, those mountain bandits don't really need to have a head.

All the way forward, thinking about the situation around here, in the words of the man, the people here basically do not read, even in the county, there are few scholars, there are many local dialects, although the official dialect has been implemented, but only less than half of the people will say, this can be said to be a place where many ethnic groups live, and the Han people are even rarer.

Fang Jing doesn't know much about the various ethnic groups in China, not to mention that this is still the Tang Dynasty, and this ethnic group doesn't know much about it, although this belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but it is close to the border, and it is estimated that it is indeed a little difficult to implement any decrees.
