The bamboo sliding pole is the most stable way to walk the mountain road, but it is drowsy all the way. Before he knew it, Wang Fulin fell asleep.

He slept comfortably, but among the three fast shifters, Xu Jie rode a horse, while Ma Neng and Liu San each rode a mule. Xu Jie and Ma Neng were just that, and Liu San was on the back of the thin mule, only feeling that his legs hurt, his back hurt, his teeth hurt, and he scolded Wang Fulin a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart. ran back and forth for forty miles of mountain roads, and only got thirty-seven dollars! And the raptured man sits leisurely and naps on the sliding rod, but he, a serious and fast hand, runs away and breaks his leg, what is the reason?

"When you turn around, you have been dismissed, I think there are still people willing to protect you!"

Jinbao followed the slide all the way, and when he stopped halfway to rest for a while, he poured water for Wang Fulin to quench his thirst, and asked repeatedly: "Dad, are you tired?" Because I had to get to Huizhou City before the evening, I had to walk faster, and if I felt dizzy, I also brought medicated oil and wiped it. ”

"If my man who sits on the pole is still complaining that he is tired, how can he be worthy of the man who carries the pole and you who walks?"

Wang Fulin has a deep understanding along the way, the sliding rod he sat on is made of selected bamboo in the mountains, not only sturdy, but also polished smooth and round, the back of the chair is cleverly curved, just to support the whole person's back, but also laid a soft cushion, the two sedan chairmen are extremely steady, he just just walked all the way by others, and slept all the way!

He calculated the time and reaction, although the three fast hands came suddenly, he had already found out that the New Year's money that Wang Fulin had accumulated over the years was all small silver bills, and he quietly cut them into pieces to weigh them in case of emergency, so he didn't plan to use the money that Wang Erniang stuffed him. At this time, after rewarding the two sedan chair drivers who carried the sliding rod and the two people who made an appointment to touch a penny of silver, he said: "Today, thank you for your hard work." ”

The four of them happily accepted the money, and one of the palanquin drivers smiled and said: "The little minister is polite, don't say what the master commands, just say that the little minister is the youngest talent in Songmingshan over the years, and it is worth everyone's hard work." ”

Seeing that the people answered without delay, Wang Fulin personally went to thank the other three villagers who took the initiative to follow him into Huizhou City, but what they gave them was the steamed cake brought out by the family, and promised to thank him again after he went back, and finally went to say hello to the three fast hands. Xu Jie and Ma Neng were both polite, only Liu Sanyin smiled sympathetically and did not answer.

He was too lazy to perfunctory with this guy who was neither yin nor yang, and as soon as he turned around, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Jinbao stumbling when he was walking with his belongings, so he walked up to him, glanced at the little guy's feet, and said casually: "Take off your shoes and show me." ”

"Dad, it's okay, I'm used to being bitter from snacks, and it's nothing to walk two steps on the mountain road." Jin Bao said this, it can be seen that Wang Fulin did not take back the meaning of his words at all, he just said, "It's just that the soles of my feet are worn out, it's really okay, just now Mr. Nanming's Uncle Kang said that there is still half the way to Huizhou City......"

"If you take it off, you will take it off!"

Wang Fulin sighed heavily, until Jinbao took off his shoes with some hesitation, and sure enough, a few blood blisters had been ground out from the naked bottom plate, and his brows were furrowed.

"Dad, it's really okay, I used to wear straw sandals, and a few days ago, Erniang just asked someone to make me new shoes, probably a little awkward......"

"I went to ask the palanquins, and they always had a way. Don't be stiff in everything, otherwise you still want to walk when you arrive in Huizhou City? ”

As Wang Fulin predicted, this time he was sent to escort himself in two groups of four sedan chair drivers, and the most on weekdays was walking, and his feet were ground out with thick calluses, but he had the most experience in grinding blood blisters on his feet. Someone scrubbed Jinbao with spirits and then broke the blood blisters, and applied a layer of medicine tightly, tightly wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth, and then put on the cloth shoes and went to the ground, and the pain was much lighter. As for his idea of letting Jinbao sit on the pole for a while and rest for a while, as soon as he said it, the little guy shook his head like a rattle and declined.

After a quarter of an hour's delay, everyone set off again. This time, Wang Fulin didn't feel sleepy. Moreover, it is probably because Huizhou City is getting closer, and the road is gradually widening, and it is no longer the mountain road before. Most of the pedestrians on the road walked in groups, but there were more than a dozen people like them, and there were no horses, mules and manpower sliding rods, which attracted a lot of attention for a while.

Seeing that there were many people, Liu San, who had been holding his breath along the way, looked at the opportunity, tore his throat and said: "Wang Xiaoxianggong, although the great grandmaster said that he has a card ticket, but I am afraid it will be too late to go to Huizhou City today, you can rest outside for a night, and Ming'er will recuperate, and it is not too late to meet the great grandmaster." If you're unlucky, you'll only have one night left for your fame! ”

When he said this, many passers-by around looked at Wang Fulin on the sliding pole. Among these eyes, there is inquiry, curiosity, contempt, and sigh...... There are not a few people who are talking about it, which shows the great influence of the boiling rumors.

However, Wang Fulin paid close attention, but found that when people in the same direction as him heard this, they were more inquisitive and curious, while many people from the direction of Huizhou City were full of contempt and contempt. At this point, he knew very well in his heart. It's obviously his own family affair, but the direction of the spread is to radiate to the periphery with Huizhou City as the center, rather than from his own Songming Mountain Village!

Therefore, under the focus of many eyes, he did not have any weakness, shame, guilt, or anxiety, but replied as if nothing happened: "As a student, the great master will take the lead, and I should go to see him first, day or night." As for whether the Grand Master will be punished, since I have a clear conscience, I am fortunate to have gained it, and I have lost my life, why should I work hard to recuperate? ”

Although this year is not the era when the Tang Dynasty pays the most attention to grace and demeanor, people who live a skin and can deal with everything calmly are better than those who are panicked and at a loss. Therefore, hearing Wang Fulin say this, some of the pedestrians who paused slightly on the road moved, some nodded approvingly, and some whispered to their companions, saying that the rumors were untrue, but Liu San, who was deliberately provocative, was half angry.

If Wang Fulin hadn't instructed Jinbao not to talk casually along the way, even if someone provoked him, he would have wanted to speak up a long time ago. At this moment, Jinbao quickened his pace and closely followed the two sedan chair drivers who were walking like flying. But faintly, he heard a ridiculing voice behind him again.

"That's a nice little thing! For the sake of his little talent, the great master rushed back to Huizhou Mansion from Ningguo Mansion, and his mood was already very bad. The Great Grandmaster's torture staff is not good-looking, and now if you talk big, you have to take off a layer of skin even if you turn around to keep your fame! ”

Jin Baoden shuddered, and his mood was suddenly heavy, but fortunately, at this moment, the person who spoke was obviously stopped by drinking.

"That's enough, Liu San, you don't have to say a word! There is naturally a public opinion on the merits, and it is our turn to talk a lot? ”

"Just for the crime of not serving my father's illness, maybe the great grandmaster will move a small board at most and punish him, and there must be evidence for cheating, but don't forget that there are two more things added outside, buy a nephew as a slave, and the father is sick and happy, it is said that together with the Cheng family's son, Cheng Gongzi also gave him a servant, who doesn't know what this means?"

Jin Bao's heart was terrified, he quietly turned around, and saw that Liu San was angry, but he was stopped by Ma Neng next to him in a low voice again, and then he didn't speak again, he clenched his fists at the time. His father was an ordinary farmer, and later saved up a few spare money, and when his daughter-in-law died, he bought his biological mother at the age of forty and gave birth to him. A few years after his father died, his brother regarded him, a thorn in the flesh, and insisted that his biological mother was just a bought maidservant, and after selling his biological mother, he was even more cruel to him. The most reassuring period of his life was by Wang Fulin's side. What's more, he also got the greatest hope in his life!

He was a slave who was sold by a death deed, and he never dreamed that he would be able to read and write openly in this life! But he even became one of Wang Fulin's crimes!

Wang Fulin was far away after all, and he didn't hear the conversation between Liu San and Xu Jie at all. The rest of the road was calm and uneventful, and there were no more accidents, until the entrance into the city, the wife was peaceful.

For Wang Fulin, this is his "first time" to come to Huizhou City, and he feels that compared with those ancient towns and ancient cities in later generations, there is more real antiquity here. Before it gets dark, some people are tearing their throats and trying their best to make the final sale, some people are stepping up their steps to get home early, and there are also those people with lanterns hanging at the door of the small courtyard, there are women with heavy makeup leaning on the door and laughing, and when they see people who are well dressed, they cast a seductive smile - all of them are real and vivid, reminding him that this is the real ancient city of the Ming Dynasty.

Huizhou Mansion and She County are not the same city as other attached Guo counties, a Huizhou city, in fact, including Huizhou Mansion City and She County County two parts of the city formed by the wall. Such a peculiar phenomenon was formed in the middle of Jiajing, before that, She County was attached to Guo Provincial City, without its own county governance, and after the Jiajing 24 years of the Japanese Kou crossed, a section of the city wall was built in the southeast of the city without a moat, and a county seat was encircled, and the Yamen of She County was located here. Xie Tingjie, the superintendent of the school, did not go to the Huizhou Mansion in the city to live this time, nor did he go to the school, but temporarily lived in the Shexian School Palace in the county.

Therefore, Wang Fulin and others who came from Songming Mountain in the west had to pass through Fucheng after entering the city, and then pass through the Desheng Gate in the east, so that they could enter the county seat in the east of Fucheng, and then cross the Xinfeng Bridge through the main street, and walk a stone's throw along the county front street from the west side of the county government, which is the easternmost county school palace facing the Ziyang Gate near the county seat.

When everyone arrived at the Academy, the sun had completely set, and it was very close to the time of the night ban. Xu Jie personally went to the door to hand over the ticket, told the owner that it had been mentioned, and at the same time vaguely mentioned that Wang Fulin was sent by Mr. Nanming from Songming Mountain with a sliding rod. But when the gate of the school palace went in and came out after a while, he shook his head at everyone and said: "The great master said that it is getting late today, and Wang Fulin will be placed by himself, and he will be promoted to the hall early tomorrow morning." As for the tickets, they will be returned tomorrow. ”

Today is all running on the mountain road, although Xu Jie and Ma Neng will not be as shallow as Liu San, but they are exhausted after all, and they still have an urge to scold their mothers when they hear that they will not be able to finish their errands until tomorrow. Liu San's heart was even more unhappy, if he hadn't realized that Xu Jie and Ma Neng were not of the same mind as himself along the way, he would have almost derogated a few more words.

As for Wang Fulin himself, he said it first, but he knew in his heart that in these years, he was very upright and bright, and it was impossible for a grand grandmaster to conclude his case at night. But he is just a small talent, and if he delays coming to see him tomorrow without getting permission first, it is almost the same as looking for death. At this moment, he had already spoken, and when he saw Xu Jie taking the card, he walked over and arched his hand and said: "The three of you have worked hard all the way, if you can trust me, you will meet at the Majia Inn on the back street early tomorrow morning." Otherwise, open three more rooms in the Majia Inn. ”

This Majia Inn is the place where he lived during the last Dao test, and this is still mentioned by his uncle Wu Tianbao, otherwise he wouldn't even remember this!

"What can you trust, but you can't believe it, can you still run?" Liu San was the first to say sarcastically, and then said arrogantly, "In this case, I still have something to do at home, so let's go first, and tomorrow morning, we will meet at the Ma Family Inn!" ”

Seeing Liu San riding away on a mule, Wang Fulin looked at his back, then smiled and said, "I originally wanted to say that the three of them walked forty miles of mountain roads, at least I have to ask everyone to suppress their fright with some wine and food." Even if someone is like an arrow, I don't dare to force it to stay. ”

As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves, quietly held hands with Xu Jiema Neng, and quietly stuffed a piece of silver into each of them.

It's a bit difficult to move without pyrotechnics, but it's still easy to do it in one go.

As soon as the silver was in hand, the faces of the two old rivers and lakes turned from cloudy to sunny at the same time. Especially Ma Neng, who is smiling all the time on his face, is even more smiling at this time, as if a flower has bloomed on his face.

"The little minister is polite! Since we have an errand, we don't dare to be unorthodox like Liu San, so we should send you to the Majia Inn! ”

Seeing that although Xu Jie didn't speak, he also smiled, Wang Fulin felt a little more relaxed, and decided to go back and reward the four sedan chair men again, and the other was to thank the three villagers who followed him into the city.

The Silver Bullet Offensive is not effective at all times, if it weren't for the momentum he had when he set off from Songming Mountain, would these people in the public gate have this attitude?
