Chapter Seventy-Five: The Path of Immigration
The Zheng squad leader himself also drove a car and followed a distant relative of Peng Bohai to move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the one who followed Peng Bohai home was a white young man named Du Fei.
Peng Bohai led Du Fei to his tent, the sun was about to set, some belongings had been placed outside the tent, Du Fei helped put them in the car together, and then took them to Peng Bojiang's tent, the same is true, Peng Daniu was already waiting here, he didn't have anything, just a big sack, which was full of stuff and couldn't see anything.
Du Fei saw that the thing was not light, so he wanted to come over to help. Peng Daniu was a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." ”
Seeing Peng Daniu put the sack in the car under Peng Bohai's answer, Du Fei asked a little puzzled: "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”
Peng Daniu's face was a little hesitant, hesitant, and he couldn't speak. That Du Fei looked at the situation differently, with an arrow step, he grabbed the carriage with his left hand, and jumped into the tall carriage. Without waiting for Peng Bohai to react, he came to the sack and opened the sack himself.
Peng Bohai didn't ask what it was, seeing that the eldest brother's face was wrong, Du Fei reacted so quickly that he was at a loss for a while. Just looked at Peng Daniu under the car, his whole body was a little trembling, his eyes were a little dazed, he was already a master of the six gods.
Everyone stared at Na Du Fei to see that he would deal with Peng Da Niu like this, only to see that his face was serious, without a trace of expression, his left hand was pulling the mouth of the sack, and the other hand was touching from behind, and a dagger was in his right hand.
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, and Peng Bohai, who was standing by the sack, was the first to react and said: "Brother, there is something to say, something to say." ”
Na Du Fei ignored him, and directly used the dagger to pick a few times at the dense rope on the mouth of the sack, and with a pull of his left hand, the rope had already become a piece of fragments. Du Fei put the dagger on his waist, reached into the sack with his right hand, and grabbed a handful. He stood up straight, looked at the thing in his right hand, couldn't help but smile, pointed to the snow-white thing in his right hand with his left hand, put it to his lips, tasted it and said, "What are you pulling salt for?" ”
Peng Daniu couldn't stand anymore, and fell to his knees with a thud, his shoulders trembling. Na Du Fei was taken aback when he saw Peng Da Niu kneeling, took two steps, and jumped off the carriage with a whoosh. Everyone was shocked, seeing him run to Peng Daniu's approach, everyone's eyes were fixed on him and the place where the dagger was bulging at his waist. Na Du Fei was too fast, and it was too late to react.
I saw him come to Peng Daniu's approach, put him up with both hands and said, "Uncle, why is this so?" ”
At this time, Peng Bohai had already climbed out of the car, walked quickly to Du Fei and said: "Brother, this is my eldest brother, his big name is Peng Bofa, because everyone is used to calling him Da Niu, so he is also called Peng Da Niu." My eldest brother has always been a good citizen, and he never dared to do anything illegal, and he bought this salt from the salt shop. ”
Du Fei looked at Peng Bohai, hesitated for a while, laughed, and everyone's tense hearts eased a little. I saw Du Fei said: "I was also a little confused just now, we can't sell salt here to Handi." It's just that if you use it yourself, we people in Pingzhou don't have any restrictions, so you don't have to be afraid. By the way, uncle, what are you doing with so much salt? ”
Peng Daniu couldn't say a word, just looked at Du Fei, his lips kept shaking. Du Fei saw that Peng Daniu didn't say anything, maybe his impatience scared him just now, he turned his head to Peng Bohai and said, "What does your eldest brother mean, do you know?" ”
Peng Bohai sighed and said, "Brother." As soon as he spoke, Du Fei said: "In the future, you will call me Xiao Du, and you can no longer call me brother." ”
Peng Bohai nodded and said: "Okay, Xiao Du, you don't know that it is difficult for us to eat salt there, my eldest brother has come here to mention to me a few times, the salt here is good and cheap, and I don't take it seriously, maybe he is afraid that there is not enough salt in Pingzhou." ”
Du Fei smiled, turned his head and said to Peng Daniu: "Uncle, I just want to see what is inside, it's okay, we don't care about the salt, and besides, you don't break the law, what are you afraid of." ”
Peng Daniu relieved himself, squeezed out a smile on his face, looked at Xiao Du and said, "You said that this salt can be transported away, right?" ”
Du Fei nodded and said: "But our salt in Pingzhou has a price everywhere, I don't know why you pulled it to Pingzhou Mansion, I think there are more than 100 catties, the place you go to is the same price as here, you can buy as much as you want, and ordinary people want so much salt." ”
Na Peng Da Niu didn't know if he believed or didn't hear what Du Fei said, and he didn't mention taking the salt off. Repeatedly asked if he could transport salt, Xiao Du couldn't cry or laugh, and finally found a rope to tie the salt bag again.
It's getting dark, and a lot of things haven't been moved yet, after all, I still have to stay tonight. The Peng family prepared a sumptuous banquet, Xiao Du was pushed as a guest, everyone took turns to drink with him, if it wasn't for tomorrow's task, Xiao Du almost couldn't control himself, in order to ease the relationship with the Peng family, he also apologized frequently, and finally made everyone realize that the pure was a misunderstanding, and finally even Peng Da Niu couldn't help but feel coke for the whole thing.
The next morning, before dawn, everyone was having breakfast and dismantling the tent while loading luggage into the car. When the sun still refused to show its head, the sky was already bright, and there was a traffic on the road, and the flow of people gathered, rolling forward, and the ground was full of smoke and dust.
The people of the Peng family also gathered, Peng Bohai went to find Squad Leader Zheng, and Squad Leader Zheng also packed his things and was sitting in front of a carriage. The two of them checked together, and the long queue of carriages, mixed with many pedestrians, decided to set off after repeating the order.
I saw the soldiers waving their whips in their hands, and the crackling sound continued, and the carriage ran away. The old and weak children sat in the car, each covered with a thick futon or coat, and only poked their heads out. The young adults in the back, some carrying small baggage, some with bare hands, and some still nibbling on food in their mouths, followed almost like a trot.
Peng Daniu's family, Peng Daniu and his two sons followed Du Fei's carriage closely. His two daughters and some of the Peng family's ladies were in the car. Now the most excited is Peng Daniu's eldest son, Peng Zhongyu, he almost kept following Du Fei, Du Fei's posture of driving the horse seemed too handsome to him. While running, he fantasized about how good it would be if he drove the horse, his footsteps never stopped, his eyes kept staring at Du Fei, his every move. In the end, Du Fei found that there was a young man about 15 years old next to him, this young man, after running for so long, actually looked as usual, as if walking on the ground, he was deeply surprised.
It seems that this young man has really good physical strength, but after all, he is still very young. Seeing that after running for 15 miles, the convoy in front slowed down, and Du Fei also stopped the carriage. After a while, the people of the Peng family basically caught up, all panting, their mouths filled with white mist, and their faces were red. The cart handed over a jar of water, and one by one, regardless of the coldness of the water, drank the cow in a big gulp. There was a continuous sound of grunting, and some people kept wiping their sweat with their sleeves. It took a long time before he was out of breath.
After resting for a whole hour, the horse team started again, this time a little slower than before, a little faster than the average person, and no longer let them run and chase after them. Peng Daniu followed the team closely with big strides, holding his youngest son Peng Zhongqiang with his right hand, looking at his eldest son Peng Zhongyu in front, looking at the big trees on both sides of the road that had just sprouted, and looking at the gray cement road under his feet. I feel in my heart, this road is so good, why do I feel very tired when I walk, is it really old, but I am not yet 40 years old. But thinking that there are dozens of acres of land in front of me, the power is pouring into the body again, and I feel that if I don't speed up the pace, that place may not have its own share.
Maybe Peng Zhongyu was the only one who didn't have any changes, or followed Du Fei unhurriedly, constantly looking at Du Fei, and as soon as Du Fei saw him, he turned his head. Du Fei thought this kid was very interesting, constantly observing him.
Peng Zhongyu is not tall, maybe he is about to grow taller, and he looks a little weak, but his eyes are extremely bright, and his freshly shaved bald head is high above his head. His legs were very long, and it seemed that he might be a big man in the future.
Du Fei said in his heart, this is a good material for being a soldier.
After walking for another 15 miles, it was already noon, and I just arrived at a post station, and someone had already made arrangements here. Du Fei took the two horses away, put them on with two new horses, and then ate with everyone, and when he was eating, he specially pulled Du Fei to sit beside him.
That Du Fei may rarely talk to people and seems very shy, but after chatting, he found that this kid has actually read a lot of books. According to him, his family used to be a scholar, but later because of usury, the family fell into the middle of the road, and later there was no land. However, his father Peng Daniu has been very strict with their siblings since they were children, so they know a lot of words and read some books. After eating, Du Fei asked Peng Zhongyu to get in the car together, but Peng Zhongyu refused to say anything, and Du Fei had to follow him all the way.
In the afternoon, they walked a total of 20 miles, and before it was dark, they arrived at the campsite, and everyone set up tents, buried pots and cooked food, except for setting up tents, the rest of the work was basically done by women, and the men squatted on the ground one by one, refusing to get up. When the meal is ready, one by one they are willing to stand up and go to eat, don't look at the tiredness, some people can't eat, but most people eat more.
Du Fei had dinner with Peng Zhongyu and asked, "Brother, are you tired?" ”
Peng Zhongyu said: "I don't think I'm tired of farm work at home? ”
"Have you ever done a lot of farm work before?"
Peng Zhongyu nodded and said, "I've basically done it, by the way, Brother Du Fei, is it fun to be a soldier?" What is it like for you to fight? Have you ever killed someone? ”
Du Fei said: "It's good to be a soldier, do you want to be a soldier?" ”
Peng Zhongyu nodded, looking at Du Fei with adoring eyes.
Du Fei said: "I can't tell you how to fight, I fought once, every time I heard shouting from the front, and then everyone rushed forward with a guy, but when they got to the front, the enemy either ran away or surrendered, and I never killed anyone." ”
Peng Zhongyu said: "Isn't it very powerful to fight and kill?" ”
Du Fei said with a smile: "Then there are so many fights and kills, the most every day is training, practice this, practice that, by the way, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
Peng Zhongyu shook his head and said in a low voice, "I haven't ridden it." ”
Du Fei said: "It is difficult to be a soldier, most of our soldiers in Pingzhou now must be able to ride horses, even the infantry must be able to ride horses, and they can quickly transport troops when the time comes." I see that you have a very good physique, in fact, it should be the most suitable to be a special soldier, but there is no chance now, I will help you inquire in the future, in addition, on the way, I can train you first. But I have one condition. ”
Peng Zhongyu said: "What conditions?" ”
"I'm about to apply for the military academy, but I don't know many words, you teach me to read, how about I teach you to train?"
Peng Zhongyu happily agreed, the two of them will be together in their free time from now on, you teach me literature, I teach you martial arts.
The relationship between the two is close, and the Peng family is getting closer and closer to Du Fei, taking care of each other along the way. Along the way, Peng Daniu has been inquiring about the local salt price, and how the salt is, the more he goes, the more disappointed he becomes, everywhere is the same, not only the price is the same, but the appearance is better than what he brought. Because of the bumps back and forth in the car, it looked a little gray and black.
After almost a month of traveling, people also look dark, thin, and dusty.
But on both sides of the road, spring had arrived, and the river was flowing briskly, with the occasional ice cube on it, turning and moving forward. The trees on both sides of the river, small yellow and green leaves began to sway in the spring breeze, dancing with the wind.
The flow of people on the road began to decrease, and the bands were led in all directions. Some roads are inconvenient, and the military began to drive back. Du Fei was also saying goodbye to Peng Zhongyu, and both of them were a little reluctant, but the military order was difficult to disobey. Peng Zhongyu followed behind the carriage for a long time, and Du Fei's car stopped several times and told him again and again. It wasn't until the end that squad leader Zheng pulled the two apart, let Xiao Du leave first, and let Peng Zhongyu go home.
