A heavy snowfall fell from north to south. This snow clothed the mountains and rivers with a layer of silver, and between the land of central Hubei Province, the wind stirred the snow, and the snow wrapped in the wind, setting off bursts of wildness. The sudden wind and snow this year ago also seem to indicate that there will be such an unquiet situation this year.

This heavy snowfall has been falling for three days, and at this time the heavy snow has become a rare snowstorm in central Hubei Province, and it is surprisingly cold everywhere between heaven and earth, and this snow is also special. Sometimes it's a scattered piece of snowflakes, and sometimes it's a large piece of goose feathers scattered all over the sky. Or dotted, or overwhelming, white, shining, confused, and chaotic.

Mountains, rivers, roads, and cottages have all been transformed into snowy fields, and there is a silvery world everywhere. Occasionally, I will see the sky brightening, but the sun only has a bleak and pale trace of tenderness, but it lacks the usual brightness and warmth. So that the people in the village all went into the house, and the cat was in the house, and no one would go out easily.

However, at this moment when the weather was freezing and the wind and snow were filled, there was a team of horses, walking with difficulty among the snow along the road blocked by ice and snow. This horse team is special, and their costumes are also a little special, different from the caravan horses that walked here in the past, this is only seven or eight horses, but there is a blonde rider.

"I don't know, it's okay......

Zhu Yifeng, who was riding on a horse in the middle of the team, felt the biting cold wind burrowing into his body along the collar seam, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Leave the ship there yourself, what if those crew members escape? If that's the case, you'll be a bamboo basket to draw water.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yifeng muttered in his heart, after all, those crew members were not loyal to him. But on second thought, this may be the only way! Such a ship sailed to the battlefield where the two armies tore apart, and no one would rest assured that if it was bombarded, when the time came, it would be his own life...... But it's really not guaranteed.

As long as you can connect with the Taiping army, all the problems will be solved...... Eyes squint slightly, sometimes people just have to take a risk!

If it weren't for the money, how could I have been forced to this step. Whether it is those crew members who don't know what their loyalty is, or after arriving in Wuchang, there are risks of one kind or another, and these risks are unavoidable.

"Man dies for money, and birds die for ...... Pander to...... Ahh ”

After sneezing from the cold, Zhu Yifeng once again swore that if he took power one day, the first thing he would do was to build the railway, and no matter how bad it was, he would have to repair the road and get into a Western-style carriage. Anyway, in any case, you can't ride on a horse with snow and drink the wind, not to mention that this horse has been riding for two hours, and that is a ...... Egg pain.

Not only is it a pain in the egg, but also the butt is about to catch fire!

Again, Zhu Yifeng stepped on the stool, trying to stand up to relieve the discomfort of his lower body, but this attempt on horseback was extremely unsmooth, after all, for him, all the horseback riding experience came completely from the "50 yuan three laps" in the horse farm in the later generations, of course, there was no riding skills.

Fortunately, however, the horse was only an inferior horse used to pull the cart, and had long been tamed, so there was no need for any riding skills, and it was just a tool for transportation in the heavy snow, but even so, the horses bought by the nearby landlord after going ashore still cost a few hundred taels of silver.

Next to Zhu Yifeng was a man of nearly thirty years old, his shabby black cotton jacket was covered with snow, and even his brows and beard were covered with a layer of snowflakes. Unlike Zhu Fucai, who was silent and silent along the way, this person and the others only got on the boat when they were in Jiujiang.

"Sneeze ......"

Hearing the owner sneeze again, Lin Yuqing hurriedly spoke.

"Owner, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it's not too early to see that it's going to be early, or let's find a place to spend the night today, and let's get up early tomorrow and go to Hanyang......"

For Lin Yuqing, as a boatman, he didn't know what the proprietor wanted to do, but he knew that the proprietor offered a high price of fifty taels of silver, which was an extra reward, as long as he arrived in Wuchang safely, there would be fifty taels of silver!

For him who has been poor all his life, in his eyes, this owner is his nobleman, and because of this, he is willing to let it be driven to get his appreciation, for him, this is an opportunity in life, just like the play said, when you meet a nobleman to make a fortune and prosper the family, it all points to the east.

"This ...... In my opinion, the brothers have worked such a cold day. ”

Although he didn't want to stop at this time, but seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Zhu Yifeng still nodded, and a sneeze that wrinkled his nose and opened his mouth still didn't come out, and finally sniffed, this snow is too big, the sky is too cold, and the most important thing is ...... Their physical fitness is too far from theirs.

Looking around, this group of men from boatmen were riding on horses, although their faces were red from the cold, but none of them had any snot and sneezed, their tiger-backed bodies and lively posture, there seemed to be hard work, at most they were frozen and snorted, as if they were not snot and sneezed.

"The brothers have worked hard today, and if you are a little tired, when you arrive in Wuchang tomorrow, I will never treat you badly!"

Although it was just a word of concern, it only made Lin Yuqing and the others feel warm in their hearts, and they said that it was not hard, and at the same time, they felt that they had defected to the right person.

"Hey, people of this era...... It's so simple! ”

Looking at the brothers because of his words, the reddish appearance of his eyes, Zhu Yifeng secretly muttered to himself.

But it's okay to be like this, and it's not good to fool around!

I hope that those "princes" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will also be fooled, so that they can "pour" it, if they can't coax them?

Well, when the time comes, I'll find a way to escape from Wuchang, anyway...... Thinking of some of the atrocities of the Taiping Army in the history books, and then looking at these "brothers" around him, Zhu Yifeng muttered to himself.

Don't be weird!

But you're all right?

They are all strong men, and when they arrive in Wuchang, they can eat with the Taiping Army, and as for the future...... It seems that whether you follow me or follow the Taiping Army, you will always die for life!

Don't blame me for that! Human life is predestined. When you leave Jiujiang, when you take the thirty taels of silver, you should have this enlightenment, and as for the fifty taels...... It's almost the same as buying life money!

After more than half an hour, Yu Xiaobao, who was headed, looked around, pointed to the front and said.

"Owner, there seems to be a temple in front, I'll go and see it first!"

After receiving the order, he ran into the tattered earth temple first. For Yu Xiaobao, who is a fisherman, being invited by the owner now is the opportunity he dreamed of, the opportunity to get rid of the hard life of his father, so he is so eager to express himself.

At this time, Zhu Fucai, who was sitting on the saddle all the way, held the handle of the knife without saying a word, and at the same time observed vigilantly around, looking up at the sky that was gradually darkening, but his expression was a little nervous......

A few minutes later, Yu Xiaobao, who was exploring the way, came back and rode his horse to Lin Yuqing's horse.

"Brother Lin, this temple has already cut off the incense, and there is no one!"

"Boss, look ......"

"That's it!"

Zhu Yifeng answered, and followed the group into the Land Temple.

There is no village in front of this land temple, there is no shop in the back, naturally there is not even a beggar, only this empty small temple, this small temple is not big, it is a place for nearby people to pray for blessings, and it is often a place for passers-by to take shelter from the rain, but because the house is not big, this slammed into six people, and suddenly only made the house more crowded.

Yu Xiaobao, who didn't seem to speak much along the way, entered the temple, and as soon as he entered the house, he showed his potential as a personal servant, and of course, he was a little bit majestic, and immediately opened his mouth and commanded directly.

"Quick, tear down that broken table and make a fire, don't freeze the owner!"

Yu Xiaobao, who was frozen and snotty on the road, took the opportunity to show it, and after ordering everyone to work, he turned his head again and smiled at the owner.

"Owner, you think it's not too much to let people ......"

"Let's raise the fire first, the brothers are also cold enough, and then boil some hot water, so that the brothers can drink two sips to warm their bodies!"

The concern in the words, Zhu Yifeng, who was in vain, naturally would not be left behind, anyway, he didn't have to work by himself, Lin Yuqing and the others had already done their own work. Suddenly, I heard someone screaming inside.

"Mom!"
