Chapter 15: The Uninvited Guest
Chapter 15 Uninvited Guests
Spring is the most creative season. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEverything is in a race of creativity, imagination. If you miss the season, even the best growth plan will affect the speed of the journey. As long as a seed is a seed, even if it is due to defects or defects caused by the maturity of autumn, as long as the place where it sprouts is still there, it will have the certainty of reversal due to the magic of the spring breeze and grow into a green plant.
Zhang Taiji is preparing for a trip, this is his first time going out, and the destination is Laoshan Taiqing Palace. Han Yue'e planned to take Zhang Taiji to Taiqing Palace to burn incense and make a wish, and Zhang Taiji had grown up peacefully and without illness or disaster in recent years. In Han Yue'e's opinion, they are all blessed by the gods. In the first two years, Zhang Taiji was too young, and it was not convenient to go far away. Han Yue'e will send people to Taiqing Palace every year to send incense offerings, but praying to God and worshiping Buddha is such a thing, paying attention to sincerity, and making a wish, it is best to go in person. As for saying that Zhang Taiji is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, Han Yue'e believes that the Tao is the Tao and the Buddha is the Buddha. On a single basis, there is no conflict between them. If you can bless your son with safety, you must be respectful.
After a few friends heard about this, they all had to follow. Fortunately, the distance is not too far, and if you go back and forth quickly, it will take a few days to go out for a spring outing. Parents are preparing things for their children to go out. In this era, the traffic is very inconvenient, the road is difficult to walk, not to mention, it is difficult to find a place to rest, lodging, eating and drinking. Some dry food kettles, umbrellas, clothes and the like are essential things to go out.
Zhang Taiji was also annoyed staying at home, and now those followers of the White Lotus Sect regarded him as the reincarnation of Maitreya, and they had to pull him up every time they gathered. When burning incense and worshipping, he was arranged to be in the position of the four sect leaders, if he wasn't too young, Zhang Taiji might be enshrined as the leader. When a few friends were wandering around the streets, the people in the city looked respectful when they saw him. When buying some food and things, some bosses don't charge him money....... and a few people are greedy and go out to steal chickens and touch dogs. When those neighbors saw it, not only did they not scold, but they took the initiative to send their own chickens and ducks for them to enjoy....... without sneaking around, and without the thrill of doing bad things. What's the fun about that?
There are often some uninvited guests who come to visit. There are people from all over the world who speak all kinds of dialects, and Zhang Taiji doesn't know any of them. Although you will receive some bizarre gifts. But everyone who saw him would look him carefully from head to toe several times. See if he's different there. Isn't it more than others with a pair of horns. Zhang Taiji really can't stand it, this kind of look like a monster! There are even people who come to the door to ask for medicine, which is embarrassing! He has only been learning medical skills from Dr. Li for a few days?! There are people who dare to prescribe random prescriptions to cure diseases. One after another pushed to Mr. Li, so that Mr. Li's place was often overcrowded. Someone also asked Zhang Taiji to lecture on the scriptures, which made him even more confused, and he learned so many words of scriptures and Buddhist words in order to pretend to be a god. If you really give lectures to those monks who are full of food all day long and have nothing to do, and can only recite sutras and worship the Buddha. That's a quasi-goof!
Zhang Taiji understands that these things are all a manifestation of his success in pretending to be a god. Other people's five or six-year-old children are still riding bamboo horses! His performance is so abnormal that in people's thinking and understanding, all incomprehensible phenomena are manifestations of gods and Buddhas. Coupled with Zhang Taiji's deliberate camouflage, high-profile performance. It is not surprising for the general public to treat him as a god and Buddha. Since it is a god and a Buddha, it is naturally omnipotent, so all kinds of strange people come to the door. In this regard, Zhang Taiji can only be painful and happy.
The time for departure finally came, Han Yue'e took a maid, Ling'er and two sisters in a car, and Zhang Taiji and a few friends sat in the car behind. The housekeeper Han Fu, with two reliable men, acted as a coachman and bodyguard. A group of people set off for Jiaozhou Haikou. Where is Zhang Baili waiting, Zhang's ship is anchored in the port, Zhang Taiji and others can take their own boat by the way, go to sea through Jiaozhou Bay, go east along the coastline, and arrive at Laoshan. It's quick and easy by boat. It's much more comfortable than walking by road.
When it was almost noon, I arrived at the port and saw Zhang Baili. Zhang Baili sent them on the boat and told them to be cautious on the road and to follow closely when they went out. Don't get lost. If you encounter something, you will report the name of the Zhang family in Jiaoxi. In addition, you should go early and return early, and don't let your family worry about it.
At the beginning, Zhang Taiji felt that Zhang Baili was too verbose, didn't he just go out? I will come back in ten days and eight days, as for what it looks like parting with life and death? If you think about it later, it is not surprising because in this era, transportation and communication are blocked. Many people spend their entire lives within a day's distance from home. Some villages hear the sound of chickens and dogs from village to village, but they don't get along with each other. These are all too common. Sometimes once separated, it may be that heaven and man will be separated forever and never see each other again. is like Zhang Baili's father, after going to sea once, he never returned. There has been no news for decades now.
Zhang Taiji and several friends have no experience in boats, and they are very curious about these ships, so the bow of the ship sees the stern, carefully observes these ships inside and out, and asks the people on board from time to time. The ship is made of pine, and the masts on the ships are mostly four-masted, and there are also five-masted and six-masted. There are generally more than ten cabins on the ship, and there are also dozens of cabins on large ships. The seagoing ships that travel between the southern ports and Jiaozhou Haikou and other ports on the Shandong Peninsula are mainly four-masted ships with relatively large carrying capacity. The personnel on the ship are tightly organized, and there are different positions and divisions of labor, such as the leader, the direct warehouse, the department leader, the miscellaneous officer, the fire chief, the helmsman, the anchor worker, and the head worker. The head of the program is the captain, the Naoka is responsible for the management of weapons, the commander may be the boatswain, the fire captain is responsible for the pilot, the helmsman is responsible for the helm, the anchor is responsible for the anchorage and anchor on the ship, the specific duties of the miscellaneous are unknown, and the gunsmith is an ordinary sailor on the ship. From the head of the program to the top workers, they are all recruited from the local area, and there are many small and medium-sized merchants. In this era, the compass has long been an essential nautical instrument on ships.
You're all set. The fleet set sail. As the sails were raised, the ship slowly left the harbor and sailed into Jiaozhou Bay. Jiaozhou Bay, formerly known as Jiaoao, is a semi-enclosed bay from the south coast of Jiaodong Peninsula and Qingdao Peninsula, which is approximately trumpet-shaped. There are Nanjiao River, Dagu River and other injections, the harbor in the bay is wide and deep, the wind and waves are calm, and the sea water is not frozen all year round, which is a natural excellent harbor. The current Qingdao refers to an undeveloped desert island. There are only a few families on the island that make a living from fishing.
After the ship was stable, Zhang Taiji and the others saw the leader of the ship. The leader of the program is none other than Zhang Taiqing's father, Zhang Baiwei. Zhang Baiwei does not look like Zhang Baili is elegant and elegant, but he is full of a fierce atmosphere. He is not tall, has dark skin, and has a full beard. The muscles on the body are swollen and full of explosive power, which may have been exercised by years of sea life. He spoke like a gong. It feels rough and heroic. When a ship goes to sea and sails on the vast sea, it is naturally not subject to the law. It's not just pirates. Moreover, if you are a serious and law-abiding merchant on the shore, you may become a robber who kills people and sells goods when you get to sea. Therefore, in addition to being familiar with each other and forming a fleet, it is also necessary to maintain a certain amount of force. So Zhang Baiwei's appearance doesn't seem strange.
Zhang Taiqing was in front of his father, like a mouse seeing a cat. was originally an introvert, but now he is even more afraid to speak. It is estimated that Zhang Baiwei is very strict with his son's usual requirements. Yuan Fang is a talker and can talk to anyone. He talked to Zhang Baiwei about interesting things at sea. Zhang Baiwei first patted his son's head, then looked at Zhang Taiji a few times, and nodded to a few people to say hello. I told a few people about my experience at sea. Everywhere I saw. It's also fresh and interesting.
