Chapter 70: Nature
Wu Mianqing personally sent Wu Fanhui to the south gate, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, two young people, really waited outside the south gate, the two looked very ordinary, wearing coarse cloth clothes, there was nothing prominent, but if you look carefully, you will find that the two are very quiet, even to the extent that they are not alarmed.

Masters, this is the real master, those who are domineering and leaky, bluffing people can, when they really fight, they are not the opponents of such introverted people.
Wu Qingchao, Wang Hecui, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang all came to see off, Wu Fanhui didn't go home for a long time, and he was about to leave again, they were reluctant, but there was no way.
When Wu Fanhui got into the carriage again, Wang Hecui, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang were all in tears.
The carriage left the south gate and began to gallop on the official road, and the two young men, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, followed unhurriedly not far behind the carriage, using their legs.
Wu Fanhui stopped the carriage.
"Two, let's get in the car and go together, it doesn't need to be so hard."
Ma Jigang looked at Wu Fanhui and replied very simply.
Wu Fanhui was not reluctant, and ordered the carriage to continue on the road.
There were a few small spots ahead, and it was nearly five miles away from the county seat.
Wu Fanhui stopped the carriage.
Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng stood on the official road.
Wu Fanhui jumped out of the carriage and walked in front of the five people.
"Why are you here, aren't you studying in the academy...
Looking at the dust on the five people, as well as the dusty faces, Wu Fanhui was very moved, the eldest of the five Wu Mingkun was ten years old, and the youngest Wu Mingfeng was seven years old, they actually came here to say goodbye, probably learned from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", didn't they all say goodbye to the ten-mile long pavilion, but there is no pavilion outside Mizhi County.
"Big brother, you are going to Xi'an Fucheng, we discussed it, come here to see you off, congratulations to the eldest brother on the title of the gold list, big brother, you can rest assured, we will study in the school well."
After Wu Mingkun finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief from the placket of his clothes, and after opening it, there were about one or two pieces of silver in it.
"Big brother, take it with you on the road, this is all our savings, and we save it on weekdays."
Wu Fanhui's eyes moistened, he knew very well what a tael of silver meant in Mizhi County, this is probably all the savings of the five people, ordinary children, that is, during the Chinese New Year, can only get some New Year's money, and how many years it will take to accumulate one or two silver.
Wu Fanhui did not hesitate and took the broken silver, this was the intention of Wu Mingkun and others, and he couldn't refuse.
"You remember, study hard, don't be greedy for fun, take the county exam, the government exam, the hospital exam, the township exam, the meeting exam and the palace exam earlier, and when I go to the capital in the future, I will get your help, remember?"
"Remember...
Wu Mingkun's tears flowed out, and several other children also shed tears.
"Don't cry, men don't flick when they have tears."
Seeing that several children wiped away their tears, and held back their tears, and were about to kneel, Wu Fanhui spoke again.
"Don't kneel, there is gold under the man's knees."
Wu Fanhui got into the carriage again, and this time he didn't look back.
The carriage was running quickly on the official road, Wu Fanhui didn't notice it at all, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin had been looking at him all the time, their eyes were a little strange, at first they probably thought it was a game between teenagers and children, but Wu Fanhui's words shocked them, they always felt that Wu Fanhui was just a white-faced scholar, but they could see that the momentum of his speech was far from being as simple as a white-faced scholar.
From the young man of this age, they felt the pride and domineering contained in it for the first time.
This time, the speed is much faster, the coachman is carefully selected by Wu Mianqing, the remuneration is not low, and the last time is completely different, the horses look a lot stronger, from Mizhi County to Xi'an Fucheng, along the way through Suidezhou, Qingjian County, Yanchuan County, Yan'an Fu, Ganquan, Yanzhou, Luochuan, Central, Yijun, from Yijun County under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture into the Tongguan under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture, through Yaozhou, Fuping, Sanyuan and Jingyang and other places, and finally into Xi'an Fucheng.
Experienced coachmen, often in the dawn as much as possible, they are familiar with where to rest, which places are relatively safe, which places are dangerous, those places can not stay, which places can relax a little, for example, the place under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Mansion, Luochuan is the most dangerous, must not stay, there are many bandits in this area, after dark, even dare to go to the official road to rob.
Wu Fanhui is a child, and he is a child of the Wu family, of course the coachman knows the weight, if something happens to Wu Fanhui, the coachman should not think about returning to Mizhi County.
In just one day, the coachman arrived in Suide Prefecture, I remember the last time I set off from Mizhi County to Yan'an Fucheng, it took two days for the coachman to arrive in Suide Prefecture, although Mizhi County to Suide Prefecture, but more than 50 miles.
When resting, Wu Fanhui felt very tired, the official road was uneven, very bumpy, and the body was very uncomfortable, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, and when eating, he clearly told Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin that they must hire another carriage, otherwise according to such a hurry, the two of them will not be able to withstand the iron beating.
Wu Fanhui's attitude was very resolute, and Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin did not object.
Wu Fanhui doesn't know, a person's nature will always be revealed, before the crossing, because of the special work, there is an indescribable domineering on his body, but also has a huge self-confidence, must have these qualities, he can do his job well, after the crossing, these breaths are hidden, and at some point, they will eventually be revealed.
When he left Mizhi County this time and went to Xi'an Fucheng, his pride and domineering spirit were gradually revealed, which was the true expression of his nature.
This kind of arrogance and domineering shocked and infected Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, and made the two think of the right thing.
When he set out early the next morning, the coachman found a companion, who also seemed to be very capable.
When the coachman talked about the price with some fear, Wu Fanhui waved his hand and clearly told him that the price paid was exactly the same, which made the coachman grateful.
The capable coachman took the deposit of one or two silver handed by Wu Fanhui, and his body trembled slightly.
According to the time arrangement, Wu Fanhui set off from Mizhi County, and strived to arrive in Xi'an Fucheng from the 20th to the 25th, which would be the time of mid-to-late August, and Wu Fanhui still had more than ten days to adapt and make arrangements, and participate in the hospital examination with peace of mind.
Such an arrangement means that Wu Fanhui needs to travel at least 50 miles every day, and sometimes in order to grab time, he has to set off very early and find a place to rest when it is dark.
Don't think that this is a very easy time, the unevenness of the official road, coupled with the bumps in the carriage, makes the carriage a sin, sometimes the people are dizzy, but in order to hurry, all this needs to be endured.
Starting from Suidezhou, the coachman suddenly sped up, except for the time when the horse had to be fed, as well as the time to eat, basically in a hurry, the coachman is familiar with his own horse, knows how to control, the horse is in a hurry during the day, and the night is resting, and during this time, in order to ensure the horse's physical strength, the coachman will feed the horse some beans and oats, which can help the horse quickly recover its strength and withstand a long run.
After several days of hurrying, Wu Fanhui endured silently, bumps have become a habit for him, if he walks to a certain section of the road, there are no bumps, he will feel curious, is the coachman slowing down, as for Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, as if nothing is wrong, people's ability to bear is much stronger than him Wu Fanhui.
Wu Fanhui almost didn't say anything along the way, in the first few days, the bumps were very bad, and the physical strength was also a huge drain, Wu Fanhui almost rested after eating, and slept more to recover his strength, with the continuation of time, his ability to bear slowly increased, and after a long-distance run every day, he was able to walk around after eating.
According to Wu Fanhui's suggestion, the noon meal is solved in the carriage, that is, when you have breakfast at the inn, prepare the wheat cakes at noon, eat some wheat cakes while feeding the horses, and sit down to eat when you stay in the hotel at night.
This is of course to save time, and to allow the horse some time to rest.
Wu Fanhui's nature is slowly revealed, even he himself feels it, when he just crossed, maybe he deliberately suppressed himself, so as not to attract the attention of others, maybe he was unfamiliar with the environment, so as not to get into trouble, maybe his own conditions were not available, and he couldn't show it casually, but now it's different, he doesn't need to continue to suppress it.
Wu Fanhui also pays attention to Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, but he will not show special attention, after all, these people have unusual backgrounds, they are unwilling to expose their identities, they have extraordinary abilities, and they have suffered big losses before, and their identities have been concealed so far.
In just six days, Wu Fanhui and his entourage arrived at Yan'an Fucheng, which was four days less than the last time, and at this speed, Wu Fanhui believed that he would be able to arrive in Xi'an Fucheng around mid-August.
Because they gradually adapted to the bumps along the way, Wu Fanhui, Ma Jigang and others occasionally said a few words.
Ma Jigang and the others were also very surprised, generally speaking, such bumps are unbearable for scholars, at least they will ask the carriage to prepare thick cotton wool, but Wu Fanhui actually survived, and he fully adapted, which is really not simple.
None of the thoughts in the hearts of the two were fake, it was just that they wouldn't say it.
