Early the next morning, before dawn, Second Uncle Mao ran to the temple to call Liu Yuanshan to go out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Yuanshan had already prepared, he had already gotten up before Second Uncle Mao came to the door, and put all the fifty pieces of osmanthus soap in a burden, and he couldn't lift it himself, so Second Uncle Mao picked up the thing, and then followed the cart down the mountain.

The car is the car of the village people borrowed by Uncle Mao, and the mule that pulls the car is also borrowed from the rich family in the village.

"What's so heavy?" Second Uncle Mao was curious and didn't ask, but when he put the things in the car, he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yuanshan sold it and said with a smile: "This is a little gadget I made myself!" "I didn't explain it too carefully, otherwise it would be difficult for these adults to interrogate and interrogate themselves.

"Let's go!" Second Uncle Mao drove the mule before getting into the car, Third Uncle Shen followed behind and walked on foot, and Liu Yuanshan was carried to the car by him, and slowly left the village with the car bumpy and bumpy.

A cart, full of white charcoal, and nothing to cover it, looked like a hill from a distance.

Liu Yuanshan sat directly above the hill, and grasped the cable firmly with his hand, like a stone growing from the hill. As the car slowly jolted, the east was white, and the morning sun slowly rose.

When the first rays of sunlight hit his face, Liu Yuanshan had already arrived at this small town called "Backing Town" with the cart, and at this time, there were already many people walking around in the town, looking at the cart full of white charcoal, they all showed a look of surprise.

"Oh my God, white charcoal, this car is full of white charcoal!"

"yes, tsk, how much black charcoal does this have to burn to produce so much white charcoal?"

"Hey, look, isn't this the second child of the Mao family!"

People talked a lot, looking at Bai Tan felt strange, Liu Yuanshan was picked up from the car by Uncle Shen and put on the ground.

"It's time to eat!" Second Uncle Mao took out some dry food from the baggage, handed it to Liu Yuanshan, and said, "Shen San, you go find some hot water." ”

Shen San himself brought a container of water, and it didn't take long to get a bag of hot water in the town, and the three of them ate dry food and drank some water, and Second Uncle Mao said: "We will stay in the town for half a day, no matter how much is sold, we will go to the county seat after lunch." ”

"Okay!" Shen San nodded.

The town is not prosperous, but there are a lot of people, there are still some rich households, in the morning, Uncle Mao sold 100 catties of white charcoal, the three of them simply ate some lunch, then drove the mule cart to continue on the road, towards the east of the county seat of F County and walked slowly.

The town is about thirty miles away from F County, most of them are mountain roads, rugged but can also accommodate mule carts to pass by, the three of them swayed along the valley of the Malan West River, and walked to F County in the afternoon, when they arrived at the county seat of F County, it was already dark, and Uncle Mao seemed to be very familiar with the entire county, and very quickly found a relatively cheap car shop, drove the car into the store, and stayed in the store.

At dawn the next day, I got up again and drove the car to the market in the county seat to sell white charcoal, after all, if I could sell a batch in F County, the car would be lighter, and it would be relatively easy to go to Xiangyang.

What no one expected was that the remaining eight or nine hundred catties of white charcoal in this car would be sold in F County.

Before noon, the three taels of silver arrived, and Second Uncle Mao had a smile on his face, and said to Third Uncle Shen: "Good luck today, then we don't have to go to Xiangyang." ”

Liu Yuanshan's face suddenly darkened, and he secretly said that it is not good, your things have been sold, and mine is still nested at home.

"Hey, hey!" Second Uncle Mao deliberately teased him, seeing that his face turned dark, he hurriedly said: "San Lang, don't worry, I will definitely send you to Xiangyang." He said to Shen San again: "Otherwise, you go back first, and I will take him to Xiangyang myself." ”

"No, I haven't been to Fucheng for a long time, so I just helped my son to inquire about some news, now the white charcoal on the mule cart has been sold out, it is a lot lighter, and it is very fast to go to Xiangyang Mansion."

The three of them continued on the road, out of F County to the east, a mountain post road along the Malan River stretched forward, on both sides are towering mountains, the post road is undulating, very difficult to walk.

According to Second Uncle Mao, from F County to Xiangyang, such a road takes about 300 miles, and if it is fast, it can be reached in four days.

"I'll go like this!" Liu Yuanshan was really shocked in a cold sweat.

F county was called Fangzhou in ancient times, its south gate is the undulating mountains, the back is the Shennongjia in the modern society, the place where the county seat is located is a narrow terrace alluvial out of the river, go out from F county, only this exit to the east, the terrain of the whole county is like a gourd, there is only a 300-mile-long canyon exit around the closure, which is more than the Shu Road. This is the best place of exile since ancient times, Sui Prince Yang Yong, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Zhong Father Lü Buwei, several princes of the Han Dynasty, more than 20 emperors of all sizes in history have been assigned to F County, which shows that F County is remote and difficult to enter, this may not be a place where soldiers must fight, but it is definitely a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As Second Uncle Mao said, the mule cart swayed on this rugged mountain road for four days, Liu Yuanshan bumped for four days, and finally went out of the canyon at sunrise on the fifth day, and walked for half a day, and the military town of Xiangyang City was impressive.

Xiangyang City is backed by the mountain, the south is surging Han water, the whole city is black and cyan from a distance, giving people a feeling that it is solid and insurmountable, and when Liu Yuanshan is near, he sees that the bluestone city wall is several zhang high, the patent leather of the blue-black gate is peeled off, and the whole ancient city wall looks like there is a vicissitudes of life.

At this time, it was noon, the east gate was wide open, and cars came and went outside the city, because Xiangyang at this time had not yet been met by fire, so the soldiers at the door of the inspection basically did not ask the passers-by, as long as they were not particularly suspicious, they were all released.

Like the three of Uncle Mao, who entered the city with an empty carriage, they naturally passed easily.

"I don't use this thing!" Uncle Shen took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve, and Liu Yuanshan saw the word "Lu Yin" written on it, knowing that this was a temporary residence permit for going out in ancient times.

As soon as I entered the city, I felt a different kind of atmosphere, which contained the prosperity of the city, the wine and meat of Zhumen, and the poor people begging on the roadside.

Second Uncle Mao shook his head with emotion and said, "When spring came, there weren't so many poor people here, how could it become so many now. ”

Liu Yuanshan sat in the car, and at a glance there were at least dozens of stalls selling children and daughters on both sides of the street, the stall owners looked sad, their faces were dish, their eyes were numb and ruthless, I don't know if they were really ruthless or forced by life, and their feelings were worthless.

Judging from the sound of selling in the ears, many of the selling children and daughters have an SX accent.

Liu Yuanshan's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and said to Second Uncle Mao: "Second Uncle Mao, these should be displaced people who have fled from SX, and it is estimated that more people will come to Xiangyang Mansion after a while." ”
