A lonely shadow is far away, and the two rivers are foggy and rainy!

Suizhou is located in the southwest of central Shu, along the Fujiang River up to Chengdu Province, down through Longfu (Chongqing) is an important transportation hub connecting the two places. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hongcheng is actually not far from Suizhou, about 120 miles away, and it takes three or two hours to hire a boat to reach it.

"The two sons are going to Suizhou to do business?" The captain is a fisherman in his 60s, who usually makes a living from fishing, and occasionally picks up and drops off passing tourists.

"Yes! Visit a few friends in Suizhou! Yang Ming answered: "Dare to ask the old man, how many hours does it take to go to Suizhou on this trip?" ”

It was the first time he went far away, although he had been to Suizhou in his previous life, but at that time it was called Suining, and the highway extending in all directions only took more than half an hour to drive from Hongcheng (Shehong), which was convenient and fast, but in the Ming Dynasty, he was still a little unpredictable in the era of animal power as a means of transportation.

Although the water route is much faster than the land route, he must avoid some rapids reefs, and he is completely blind when he has never had experience in this area, and he can only wait for the boat to arrive.

"Brother Yang, don't worry! Hongcheng and Suizhou are only more than 100 miles of waterway, you will sit quietly and take a look at the scenery on both sides of the strait for a while. Zhang Wenjuan carefully added firewood to the small stove, the teapot on it was steaming, maybe it was the first time to light a fire, at this time the two little hands were stained with a lot of soot, and the end of the ball was invaded by the mist, just like a monkey stealing peaches, Yang Ming saw it and hurriedly retracted it.

"If you don't know how to make a fire, don't make a fire, just sit on the side!" Yang Ming felt a little unbearable, it was really difficult for a young lady to make a fire, he picked up the cooking chimney that made the fire and withdrew some of the firewood inside, and then puffed up his breath and slowly blew it through the cooking tube, and the fire burned in the blink of an eye.

"This fire needs a false fire, as the so-called being a real person and burning the fire must be virtual, you add too much firewood to block the fire pond and seal it in, so it can't burn naturally!" Yang Ming lifted the teapot from the stove and poured a cup of tea for both of them, and then sent another cup to the captain.

People respect each other, and no one is more noble than anyone regardless of fame and fortune.

Yang Ming felt that the age at which he could be his grandfather should be respected.

He thought of Old Man Yang, who was also old and old, although it was to survive, they should all have their own dignity.

Old man Yang has been dealing with soil all his life, for the care of Lao Niu, who does not sleep for half the night, in order to let himself study, he "spoke, sold almost half of the family's food, and in the end, although it was not sold, but that kind of warmth made Yang Ming unforgettable.

"Thank you, Childe!" The surname of the captain is Zhang, an authentic Hongcheng water family, his big mouth full of yellow teeth is full of smiles, this is the first time he has seen a scholar polite to him, which is happier than he earns fifty yuan a day.

The class system of feudal society and the policy of ignoring the people strictly divided the scholars and the ordinary people into two extremes, in the eyes of the common people, the scholars are sacred and noble, and it is simply something that he dare not think of to be able to take a cup of tea in the hands of the scholars.

"You're welcome, we still have to thank you, you pulled us on the road along the way, you see a few of us drinking tea and chatting in it.... Hehe! Yang Ming talked with the captain while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait, not to mention that although the mountains and fields are a little less strong and concrete, but there are more minutes of beautiful beauty, the oars are slowly gliding in the turquoise water, and the scenery around them is leaving step by step, that feeling is as if it has integrated into nature, quiet and peaceful.

"Dude, what are you looking at?" Zhang Wencai didn't see Yang Ming for a long time, and walked out of the cabin.

Yang Ming pointed to a mountain that was still beside him just now and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, does your mountain look like an old man?" ”

Zhang Wenyuan looked at it, and sure enough, between the mountain peak and the surrounding peaks, he was hunched over and carrying a basket on his back, and he kept traveling with the boat, as if he was walking, which was very magical.

"Yo! What a thing! I can't see it, there are so many views in this mountain! ”

At this time, Zhang Wenjuan inside also walked out, and now this girl has secretly washed her little hands clean, and she saw that the eldest brother and Yang Ming were pointing towards the mountain in the distance, and she couldn't help but be attracted to it.

"We're talking about the mountain!" Zhang Wenyuan pointed to the mountain and said, "Little sister, look! The mountain doesn't look like an old man traveling far away with a basket on his back? ”

After his pointing, Zhang Wenjuan really saw the mountain and said happily: "Yes, it really looks like an old man!" ”

"Childe is talking about Lao Weng Mountain, right?" The captain slowed down the movements in his hand and said with a smile: "There are mountains and forests in a radius of two hundred miles, and there are mountain bandits in it!" Let's go by land and water, and we won't be afraid! ”

"Mountain bandits?" Yang Ming frowned, he couldn't imagine that there were still mountain bandits in Suizhou, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's going on with this mountain bandit?" I think that my Shuzhong is known as the country of abundance, since Li Bing and Master Li dug Dujiangyan, it has been a smooth wind and rain, and one person in the field is not afraid of confiscation, how can there be mountain bandits? ”

"Childe is right, since the construction of Dujiangyan has indeed benefited my Shuzhong, but these mountain bandits did not go up the mountain because they couldn't eat!" Gong Gong sighed and said: "This mountain bandit was originally a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, since the last governor of the state was wiped out, he hid in this old Weng Mountain, and united with some of the surrounding ruffian bullies who committed trouble to make a miasma over there, fortunately, they are only active in the area of that old Weng Mountain, and they usually do not go out of the mountain, otherwise it is really troublesome!" ”

"The remnants of the White Lotus Sect!" Yang Ming's heart moved, this White Lotus Sect is actually from the descendants of the Eastern Han Dynasty Wudou Rice Sect, under the false sign of burning incense to cure diseases and transform the world, and they want to rebel, but hundreds of years have passed, from the Five Dou Rice Sect to change its name again and again, it is not the original doctrine and gradually evolved into this robbery.

"Yes, it's the remnants of those White Lotus Sects! At the beginning, the old man's family believed that, and stole a lot of money from the family to donate, saying that as long as you believe in the White Lotus Sect and drink their talisman water, you will be free from illness and disaster, but poor my grandson is only eight years old, if it weren't for Lord Zhizhou to send someone to exterminate it, I don't know what happened! ”

"Uncle also knows about this White Lotus Sect?" Yang Ming couldn't imagine that his father-in-law still had this experience, so he asked.

"Of course I know!" While rowing, the captain said: "It was the third year of Zhengde, there was a great drought in Shuzhong, and the river was almost bottomed out except for the deep water, and it was hot, hey!" It was at that time that the demons of the White Lotus Sect began to operate in this countryside, saying that this was the evil of the court and the loss of morality, so God was angry and wanted to warn the people! ”
