183. Worrying about nothing?
Nangong Jin followed Zhao Yingfeng into the house, the layout of this stone room was very similar to Du Ling's style, a room full of bottles and cans, crooked tools. After Zhao Yingfeng closed the door, he continued the matter at hand and no longer cared about Nangong Jin.
Just when Nangong Jin thought that she was going to be silent again and stay silent for a few hours, Zhao Yingfeng spoke, "You have clear eyes, simple actions, and are being manipulated?" Pack it. But when he spoke, he continued to do what he was doing, and he didn't look at Nangong Jin.
"I heard that you have some friendship with the Mongolian nobles? You're here to help them find out the soldiers? Zhao Yingfeng didn't think he would answer, and said directly: "It's all dead." The last two hundred, and the previous eighty, and all the people before them, are dead. After a pause, he seemed a little sad, "I've been here for more than ten years and haven't left. I took some of the books from Jia Daoren, and I don't think you will want them. ”
Nangong Jin was startled and stared at Zhao Yingfeng. The nameless boy in Yunmeng Mountain, one of the four people who came out alive, is him!
Zhao Yingfeng completely ignored Nangong Jin's reaction, and continued to focus on two purposes, "I also collected a lot of immortal cultivators, alchemists, and medicine books, a lot. At this point, he stopped, as if the work at hand required him to focus.
After a while, Zhao Yingfeng straightened up, took out a book from the drawer, and handed it to Nangong Jin casually, still not looking at him, "Heaven and Earth Great Array, it's actually a pity that you destroyed that formation book." It took me two months to draw it, and I remember everything I saw before. If you change it a little, it should be pretty much the same, after all, it was broken at that time. ”
Nangong Jin flipped through the book he gave, this was not a book, but a notebook. By year, month and day, remember the natural things such as freezing, melting snow, and blooming flowers. Nangong Jin didn't know why.
"I thought that this matter was not as difficult as the Qiankun Array, but I didn't expect it to be ......." Zhao Yingfeng was completely thinking about where to say, and he didn't stop for a moment, not knowing what he was doing.
"At first, I tried with cattle and sheep, but it didn't work. I thought that there was always a difference between cattle and sheep and people, so I found some seriously ill and dying people in the church, but it didn't work. Thinking that he couldn't test the medicine with a normal congregation, he chose some beggars from the street, but it still didn't work. My original intention in doing this was to save people, if a lot of Han people died because of the drug test, it would be wrong, after all, the people to be saved also include Mongolians. Therefore, I began to look for the Mongols, and at first I used slaves and small tribesmen. Father is right, it is not possible to be sneaky, and it is easy to get the support of the Great Khan. Now, in the name of the Great Khan, we can borrow troops from the ministry, but they don't borrow much anyway, and they don't plan to return it. However, if it fails again...... Zhao Yingfeng paused and sighed, "In the past five or six years, many people have died on my hands, a lot. ”
Nangong Jin didn't know if he was listening, but the things in his hand were turned back and forth twice, and he still didn't understand the meaning of this notebook, so he finally couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”
Zhao Yingfeng looked back at him and said with a smile: "This is what I started recording ten years ago, at first I just thought Tumochuan was so cold, and then the more I remembered it, the more shocking it became." You just look at the time of year when it snows, and when the river thaws. ”
Reminded by Zhao Yingfeng, Nangong Jin watched it again, and this time she was also frightened. Zhao Yingfeng's records are very detailed, down to the thickness of the snow, the direction of the wind, the amount of rainfall, the time when the spring flowers bloom, etc., all of which point to a problem.
Zhao Yingfeng saw that his expression was becoming more and more solemn, and asked, "What do you see?" ”
Nangong Jin looked up at him seriously, "Is this true?" ”
Zhao Yingfeng nodded, looking straight ahead, his eyes seemed to see the vast grassland outside through the mountain wall, "The winter is getting colder and longer, and even the summer is getting colder and colder." Cattle, sheep and horses, the more they are born, the fewer they are, because the weather is too cold. Food is also getting scarce because the winters are too long. Wang Qin, you should understand what this means. ”
"Famine." These two words, Nangong Jin almost blurted out.
Zhao Yingfeng smiled, very satisfied with Nangong Jin's answer, put down the things in his hand and said, "Famine." I don't know what will happen to the Central Plains, but it won't be long, maybe next year, the year after next, or a few years later, there will be a famine in Tumochuan. I don't know when it's going to end, but a lot of people are bound to die. If the Ming Dynasty does not share the market, the Mongolians will continue to rob, and the robbery must not be enough to eat, and they will grab the Ming market. The Han people here will die because there is not much to grow on the ground until winter passes. Zhao Yingfeng turned his head to look at Nangong Jin, his eyes were full of sadness, "I know you understand." What to do? ”
Nangong Jin didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know if Zhao Yingfeng's notebook was true, at least there was no way to verify it now, maybe he would go back to Beijing to find Qin Tianjian. However, looking at Zhao Yingfeng's appearance, it doesn't look like it's pretending. "You've found a way?"
Zhao Yingfeng thought for a long time, and finally said: "I'm looking for a way to make people not hungry and cold, so that they can live like a normal person." ”
"Cultivating immortals?" As soon as Nangong Jin said it, he felt incredible.
Zhao Yingfeng shook his head, "I don't believe in these, including Tiangangmen." ”
Nangong Jin suddenly thought of the poison, "But you're alchemizing?" ”
"Do you believe it or not?"
Nangong Jin understood that Zhao Yingfeng was referring to Bigu Dan, and shook his head, "I don't think there is such a thing." ”
"So what do you say?"
Silent.
Nangong Jin opened his mouth and said, "Plant more food." Start now. ”
"Will Daming have a mutual market?" Zhao Yingfeng asked.
Silence again.
"You can go back to the Central Plains, the imperial court has always had preferential treatment." Nangong Jin persuaded.
"People of the Holy City, can you live when you go back? Robbers, robbers, traitors, most of them can't. What's more, my father is Zhao Quan. Zhao Yingfeng smiled and shook his head, "Central Plains...... If you can live, why do you come to Tumochuan? ”
Silence again.
Nangong Jin said again: "If you are a person, you will be cold and hungry, against the principles of heaven, you may not be right to do this." ”
"Shouldn't the problem be solved at the root? Or do you have something else to do? Zhao Yingfeng turned his head to look at him.
"It's the same sacrifice for a small number of people, it's better to consider returning to the Central Plains." Nangong Jin insisted on persuasion.
Zhao Yingfeng laughed, "First of all, there is my father in this small group of people; Secondly, what if the Central Plains is also frozen for thousands of miles? ”
"These are all speculations, and even if they are, we may not be able to see them if they don't sound good." Nangong Jin also smiled: "Go back to the Central Plains, no matter how you say it, it will be warmer than Tumochuan, and you can go south and go to sea." ”
Zhao Yingfeng's smile was still not closed, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, "Are you saying that I am worried?" ”
"I mean, there's no way to get there." Nangong Jin smiled with a sincere expression.
"I'm not going to just walk away, especially if it's not a happy place." Zhao Yingfeng turned around and ignored him.
