Chapter 34: The Gathering of the Enemies

Unlike the hot water in the Lei Tai house, which makes people sweat, the spring water Tai Village is very cold.

Snow particles kept falling, and as soon as they entered the ground, they instantly turned into snow and water, burrowed into the dirt, and were no longer visible.

"Whew!" Without a little strength anymore, Sun Yuan, who was ****, threw the long stick in his hand on the ground, and simply lay down on the long stool under the eaves, gasping for breath.

The chest that already seemed full was undulating, covered with small crystal droplets, and I didn't know if it was sweat or melted snow particles.

This is Sun Yuan's routine exercise plan.

Knowing history let him know that in another nine years, the Qing soldiers would go south to Yangzhou. When the time comes, whether he wants to or not, he will be involved in this unprecedented massacre, as a man, he can't talk about defending the country, after all, a modern person has no feelings for the Ming Dynasty, and besides, he is not a vested interest in the system. But protecting one's family is an unshirkable responsibility.

In the future, only a good body can fight any enemy who dares to hurt his mother.

As a white-collar worker who often soaked in the gym in his previous life, he naturally has a complete set of theories about how to strengthen his body. Now, it's time to see results.

1,000 chopping, 1,000 stabbing a day, strenuous exercise and a large amount of animal protein supplementation, after a month and a half, he felt that his body had undergone a radical change.

First of all, the limbs, which used to be as slender as reed sticks, began to thicken at a speed visible to the naked eye, and strong muscles were already visible. However, in terms of Sun Yuan's current situation, there is still a big gap between him and the macho man, and he is not even as good as a farmer who works in the paddy fields all year round. However, he is only eighteen years old now, not yet the age of growing meat, so he can't be in a hurry.

The second is that his strength has become greater, after this period of hard work, Sun Yuan now has a bag of more than 100 catties on his back, and he walks four or five miles in one breath, without even sweating.

Because his body was stronger, Sun Yuan felt that his spirit was much stronger than usual, and his brain was more flexible than usual. This kind of active thinking and quick response is really very good, this is probably the feeling of youth, right?

"Ouch, Yuan'er, why are you lying naked on the stool on a cold day, what if you are freezing?" Sun Li was making straw mats in the house, and when he saw his son **** on his upper body, he was shocked, and hurriedly took a jacket out to cover him.

"Mother, I'm not cold." Sun Yuan stood up and smiled: "Even if you want to wear clothes, you have to wipe the sweat off your body, otherwise, you will really catch a cold." ”

"Ahem, look at me, why can't I think of this." Sun Li hurriedly ran into the stove room again to boil hot water for his son. But before she could light the fire, Sun Yuan had already dried his body and put on his clothes.

Looking at his son's already sturdy body, Sun Li thought of her husband, who had been dead for many years. I think back then, my husband was also a dignified seven-foot man, but unfortunately he died early. Now, my son has been living a good life for more than a month, and he is growing his body again, so he is really a day at a time. If nothing else, at most two years, Ah Yuan will become a man like his father.

Thinking of Sun Yuan's father, Sun Li's eyes blurred: If the dead man knew what kind of life our Sun family was living now, Jiuquan must be very pleased, right?

Yes, the changes that have taken place in the Sun family in the past month or so make people feel like a dream.

Yuan'er didn't know where he got so much money, all the things in the house had been replaced with new ones, the dilapidated house had been renovated, new clothes had been bought, and the white rice in the jar could not be fuller anymore.

Not only that, but with three restaurants a day, this meat has never been broken...... Why is Ah Yuan so ruthless in eating meat, a pound of meat is cooked, and it only takes a moment to sweep it away, and he takes four large bowls of rice. Look at his belly, it's still flat, and I don't know where so many things go?

Many times Sun Li would wake up in the middle of the night, for fear that the past days were just a dream, and when he woke up from the dream, everything the Sun family owned was gone.

So, she got up tremblingly and got dressed, touched the newly bought furniture, touched the white rice in the jar, looked at the more than 100 catties of bacon hanging on the stove, and found that everything was as before, so she breathed a sigh of relief and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

……

"Mother, why are you crying again?" In the midst of tears, Sun Yuan's voice came.

"I didn't cry, it was the dust that blinded my eyes." Sun Li hurriedly wiped his eyes, looked up, and saw his son standing in front of the stove with a smile, washing the bottom of the pot with a loofah.

Then, in the morning light, Sun Li suddenly found that his son had grown an adult face, although his appearance looked ordinary. But the eyebrows are sparse, especially those eyes, which are as bright as gems. Look at him again, standing tall and tall, with a unique demeanor that he can't explain and understand.

In an instant, Sun Li suddenly felt that the son in front of him seemed to be a little strange, and couldn't help but be stunned: Is this still Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan originally looked like this. However, he is so good-looking, so much so that people hate him so much that he doesn't hold it in his arms.

Seeing his mother looking at him blankly, as if she was reluctant to look away, Sun Yuan smiled: "Mother, after two **** years, I will go to Fengyang to finish my errand, and it will take two months to come and go." However, this is the first time my son has gone far away, and he is going to a big place like Zhongdu, ready to have fun, and he will not be able to come back until the New Year. This Spring Festival, I won't be at home, mother, you have to take care of your body. ”

"It's fun, indeed, that big bustle has to be made up." As he spoke, Sun Yuan had a playful smile on his face.

Sun Lishi: "It's important to run errands, I don't care about it here." Yuan'er, who is also blessed by your father's spirit in the sky, you are now a character. Manhood is in a tight position. The yamen can look down on you, you have to do things honestly, don't let the county lord down. ”

"I have to thank the county lord." Sun Yuan couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Sun Lishi: "By the way, it's a farming slack now, and the people in the village are idle and want to find some work to do." No, aren't you going to escort the autumn grain to Fengyang, everyone begged to come to me and wanted to be your porter. Originally, it was inconvenient for me to intervene in your affairs, but they were all from the villagers, and I couldn't wipe my face......"

Sun Yuan went to Fengyang this time, and it took two or three months to go back and forth, so he had to delay the Spring Festival, so the money he gave was very high. On a trip, each porter can get the benefit of two taels of silver.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, two taels of silver was about 2,000 yuan in later generations, which was nothing in the eyes of modern people. But the income of the ancients was low, and for an ordinary farmer, it was enough for a year's needs, so how could it not make people red-eyed.

As she spoke, she looked embarrassed.

Originally, Sun Yuan also knew that he would definitely encounter danger when he went to Fengyang this time, and he didn't want to involve his fellow villagers. Therefore, the hundred porters needed to escort the autumn grain were all hired from outside. But when his mother talked about this, Sun Yuan remembered that the people in the village had excluded his mother a lot before, and when they pretended to bully their mother and son, no one even said a good word.

smiled coldly in my heart: Okay, since you are going to join in the fun, you are going to go to this bloody disaster, okay, my Sun Yuan will fulfill you.

nodded and said, "Since my mother has spoken, how dare my son not agree." Mother, you go and tell the villagers, as long as they are willing, I will take as much as they want. ”

"Alright, I'll talk to you later." The mother smiled with relief and washed her hands and went out.

In a few moments, the village burst into cheers.

Soon, the number of porters who were willing to go to Fengyang with Sun Yuan was counted. Seeing the roster, Sun Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, and said secretly: It's really me Sun Yuan is wronged, and everyone wants to run over and bite me.

It turned out that there were only about 20 households and more than 100 people in the entire Quanshui Tai Village. Even if there are two dings out of one household, there are only forty people, but this time not only the young and strong have come, but also the two old and weak, women and children have come to sign up, and the total number has reached 100. If you take all these people with you, the whole village will be empty.

It's okay to be young and strong, old and weak, women and children, if you can withstand this long journey?

Sun Yuan politely reminded that it's okay for everyone to go to Fengyang to make money, but they can't all go, right?

Before the words were finished, a few old men immediately jumped out and scolded loudly, Sun Yuan and Sun Liangchang, we are also from a village, although we are not sticky to relatives, but distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you are what I watched grow up, and I also urinated on you when I was a child! Why, what kind of grain chief have you made to look down on people and not miss the old feelings?

When it was really foaming at the mouth, he almost pointed at Sun Yuan's nose and scolded his mother.

Sun Yuan was annoyed in his heart, and secretly sneered: It's okay, if you want to die, it's up to you. This group of old, weak, sick and disabled people is also useless. If they were used, I don't know what would have become of SLM. However, it was an impossible task. It's okay to take them with you, I didn't plan to complete this escort anyway.

Suddenly changed the porter, Sun Yuan was in charge of this district naturally had to be busy for two days, fortunately, he was a small boss in his previous life, in the middle of the strategizing, communication up and down communication left and right is his strength, the grain ship was finally arranged, there were twenty, full of parked on the East Gate wharf.

After checking the numbers and taking the customs clearance documents from the county office, it was finally time to set off.

He was accompanied by a hundred porters, of whom forty were young and strong, and the other sixty were old and weak women and children.

Because these people and Sun Yuan are from the same village, they grew up watching Sun Yuan. In the past, he was deceived by outsiders, and he did not have the slightest awe of this new grain chief, and they all sat on the boat in a mess, chatting and chatting, eating and drinking, and making a lot of noise.

A few elders were even shouting: "Sun Yuan, it's too cold, it's really uncomfortable to sleep in the cabin at night, can you lend me your quilt?" ”

"Sun Yuan, what kind of food did you prescribe, the meal at noon said that the winter bamboo shoots were roasted with meat, why only the bamboo shoots could not see the meat. This can't be done, this can't be done! ”

……

Sun Yuan was not angry, he only smiled and talked to everyone together, without the slightest hint of food.

This made the boatmen who drove the boat look surprised, and then couldn't help but shake their heads: this grain chief surnamed Sun is also too poor in his ability to do things, as if everyone doesn't take him seriously.

Because it was a long-distance transportation and had to pass through the state, Sun Yuan hired another twenty boats, with a total of forty sailors on board.

In addition to the porter and sailor, there were also three baozheng under his own jurisdiction who went with Sun Yuan, and naturally some of them were improvised.

In addition to the pretence, the county yamen also sent two other officials to supervise according to the system.

Coincidentally, these two officials were the tall and the short ones that Sun Yuan had beaten.
