"This time I will go to the mountain to Fufan, so let my subordinates accompany the adults!" Yang Zaiyuan took the initiative to ask, "If something happens, there will be Lord Wu to take care of it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Also, with Brother Tongyun in charge, I can rest assured." Lin Yizhe also said.

"There is a lot of miasma in the woodland where the people are located, and if the adults feel a little unwell, they must turn around in time to avoid delaying treatment." Wu Dating was still a little uneasy in his heart, and told Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe nodded in agreement, and the three of them had decided on the plan, so they began to prepare separately for the specific matters of entering the mountain and Fufan.

"Lin Wenzhong's Public Collection: Diary": "...... In Tongyun to get the whole map of Taiwan, Cha Langqiao is the South Road Shengfanhou Mountain Haikou, which can be berthed. The proposed cannon pier has not been built in time, and there is no civil, military and flood control department, so if there are foreign ships imported, they are defenseless, which is very worrying. ……”

“…… It is rumored that Taiwan's folk customs are strong and available, and its Changhua, Monga, Kamalan and other places are gradually opened up after Yong and Qian, from Kamalan to the south of Suao to Beinan, hundreds of miles of open land, flat and creamy, and many of them are born in the territory. Mountain coal mines, naphtha, camphor, rattan, gold mines, ****, all kinds of things are rich. Countries have been coveting each other for a long time since they started trading. Japan is particularly close to each other, and now with the Americans as the forerunner, they are constantly watching, and sooner or later they will try to invade and occupy it. If you don't take advantage of this time to recruit Sui, so that you can use it for me, and the future troubles can be better than words? ”

Beneath the clear blue sky is an endless expanse of lush primeval jungle, shrouded in a fresh mist and interspersed with meandering rivers.

Between the mountain paths, a team of about 100 people is struggling to make their way through the mountain paths.

In the dense tropical jungle, the air is filled with a strong rancid smell, and under the dense trees are layers of thick withered yellow leaves, and when you step into it, you will seep out black sewage that exudes a strange smell, and several fat flower-legged mosquitoes stretch out their long thin legs, flying up and down, trying to get into the underwear of these uninvited guests and bite hard.

The team reached the river, and made their way through the shrubs that covered the sky; The path in the forest is overgrown with vines, and from time to time there are large trees blocking the way, and only with the eyes and memories of the local Paiwan people can they find the hidden path.

Deng Tianbao looked at the old father who served as a guide for the young court official with some concern, turned his head and continued to stare at the mountains in front of him, frequently repeating the action of stepping forward, since five years ago, this action has become something he must do every day, more inevitable than eating and sleeping, Deng Tianbao can go without eating or sleeping for three days, but it is impossible not to walk.

Today is almost two hours longer than yesterday, and his father obviously has no intention of stopping, Deng Tianbao thought, what happened two years ago was not worth remembering for him, it was actually an unlucky thing, and he was implicated in something that had nothing to do with himself and his father.

Deng Tianbao continued to repeat the action of stepping forward quickly, while continuing to recall the last time he was in such a desperate hurry, it was on the way from home to Baolizhuang, in order to report the news that the Ryukyuan people were chased and killed by the Paiwan tribe to the village chief Yang Youwang as soon as possible, unfortunately, those Ryukyuan people met Shengfan, he didn't know the cause of the incident, maybe those Shengfan had been waiting there for a long time, Deng Tianbao sometimes thought about it, and also felt that those Shengfan were going to kill those poor Ryukyuan people.

He'd been in the thick of that before.

Once, he and the caravan went into the mountains to sell goods, and they encountered the plundering of Shengfan, their target was obviously the goods that the caravan had just purchased in Jilong Harbor, those delicate iron tools, sharp weapons and those beautiful flower cloths with dense patterns, Deng Tianbao always felt that it was a very ridiculous thing to be able to weave such beautiful things by human hands, but obviously, whether this thing was ridiculous or not, those flower cloths and tools and weapons made of fine iron were as valuable in Shengfan's eyes.

At that time, Deng Tianbao didn't know when those shengfan came, but his father knew, his father not only knew, but also prepared in advance for the arrival of Shengfan, and the father and son even ran out of the tent when the aftermath of the first whistle of Shengfan had not dispersed, and of course all the belongings that had already been packed up, and then they were in a hurry day and night.

Of course, Deng Tianbao also saw the looting of their camp in a daze, and the students noticed the departure of the big and small people, but the remaining things in the camp were enough for them to squander for more than half a year, and no one wanted to take care of the person who only brought a package before they put more things in their bags.

However, Deng Tianbao and his son did not slow down for this, and they walked out of the mountainous area in two days, which would have taken them seven days to get out, and only began to slow down when they looked at the village and town from afar, and the occasional caravan and pedestrian passing by let the father and son know that they were no longer in danger.

That time I was running for my life! Deng Tianbao thought, what are you doing now?

As he walked, his father was talking to the young court official. This official was different from all the officials he had seen before, he was very young, tall, handsome, always with a kind smile on his face, and spoke very kindly, unlike the big and small officials he had seen before, who always blew his beard and glared when talking to them.

Deng Tianbao had an inexplicable impression of him from the first time he saw him.

But the guards around him with foreign guns on their backs made him fearful.

Because none of the officials he has seen before are as big as his pomp.

A few days ago, he also heard someone secretly say that this person's official is older than the biggest official on the island of Taiwan, and he heard that he is a minister sent by the emperor in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Deng Tianbao has always been wary of the officials, and he still remembers that those who returned to Ryukyu safely after being rescued by him, his father, and the village chief Yang Youwang and other well-wishers, later asked someone to bring them 200 silver yuan to thank them for saving their lives, but most of the money was taken by those officials, and the Xie Yin that was finally sent to them did not even have 20 yuan!

But this young official is different from those officials who only know how to be greedy for money. When he asked himself and his father to be his guides, he personally delivered the reward to them.

That's twenty taels of silver!

Twenty taels of silver was enough for him to spend several years.

Thinking of this, his steps became faster again. I don't feel tired anymore.

A forest had just been put behind him, and now a dense shrub and a few small trees were quickly swept back on both sides, and another forest could already be seen in front of him.

Deng Tianbao looked at his father again, his father had the same expression as a few hours ago, and he didn't think he would rest, but the road he walked today was very different from usual, most of them usually took the official road, and occasionally deviated from it to come back from hunting some game, or get a few furs, animal tendons or something, which could be exchanged for food, salt and clothes, of course, most of Deng Tianbao's clothes still relied on his father's medicine basket and the herbs inside, as well as stories about those precious herbs. It's a pity that Deng Tianbao can't always hear his father's story, because when his father starts to tell the story, Deng Tianbao has to hurry up and sleep, Deng Tianbao has never seen his father sleep, when Deng Tianbao wakes up, or when his father wakes Deng Tianbao up, it is time to go on the road, in fact, rushing is already a part of Deng Tianbao's life, almost as natural as breathing, but Deng Tianbao doesn't understand why he is in such a hurry, why can't he stay somewhere for a few more days like other people, even if it is a few hours, but every time, As soon as you wake up, you're on your way.

The things that retreated on both sides have been replaced by thick trees, the vines on the ground are hidden deeply, and the fallen leaves and dead branches on them also make people unable to exert their strength, Deng Tianbao knew that he was going to change his way to hurry, sure enough, his father touched Deng Tianbao lightly, Deng Tianbao had already jumped up, climbed a tree, and looked forward. In such a dense forest, it is not an easy task to deal with the soft saprolite on the ground that I don't know where it is, and how thick it is, and the dead branches and leaves on the saprolite that will turn into saprolite.

Dense forest, Deng Tianbao thought, the dense forest is a good place, the last time I entered such a dense forest, I harvested a deer skin and a snake gall, so Deng Tianbao ate a freshly cooked white flour steamed bun and changed a pair of shoes.

White-flour steamed buns, in fact, white-flour steamed buns are not much surprised, the problem is that the newly cooked steamed buns, when you are in a hurry, you eat all the cold hard and hard dry food, the kind of soft steaming steamed buns are basically not eaten, but this is not too much of a surprise for Deng Tianbao, after all, you can also eat roasted or boiled meat on the road.

The big surprise is the pair of shoes, for Deng Tianbao, the things on his feet are mostly straw sandals, and sometimes even a wooden board is tied to his feet, because he has to rush every day, the shoes can be said to have a bad one, two bad pairs, and the shoes this time are soft-soled pigskin shoes, if it weren't for the father added a layer of pine soles under the shoes, for Deng Tianbao, it would be a perfect pair of shoes.

Deng Tianbao's memories of shoes are not over when he heard the sound of a dead branch breaking, looking for this sound, in Deng Tianbao's afterglow faintly appeared the outline of a wild boar, just about seven zhang away from the side, Deng Tianbao seemed to see a new pair of shoes, and hurriedly twisted his face to his father, Deng Tianbao knew that what he found, his father would find it earlier, but his father still had the same expression as before, no fluctuations, and his eyes were still staring straight ahead.
