Gao Huaiyuan is also well aware of the fact that in Chinese history, except for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a successful Northern Expedition of the Southern Regime, which is not only related to politics, but also has an inextricable relationship with the terrain, resources, and humanities.

What's more, now he is just a small rich man, and he can't control the course of history at all, how can he make a career, Gao Huaiyuan always doesn't know how to start.

Although he is now completing the accumulation step by step from the foundation, he is still in a fog and a little confused about how to go in the future.

Thinking of this, Gao Huaiyuan was a little gloomy, he didn't know how to go down the road below, could it be that when his strength accumulated to a certain extent, he would rebel and seize the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and then seek to compete with the Mongol Empire?

But as soon as he thought of this, Gao Huaiyuan secretly shook his head, if that happens, I'm afraid he will not only not be able to save this era, but also likely to accelerate the defeat of the Han regime in this era, the Southern Song Dynasty with the strength of a country, can not withstand the onslaught of the Mongol Empire, if he rebels, I am afraid that if he does not wait for him to seize power, the iron hooves of the Mongols will sweep the rich land south of the Yangtze River in advance!

Gao Huaiyuan thought about this problem while walking, the more he thought about it, the more he felt heartwarming, and he didn't know what to do, at this time Jia Qi saw Gao Huaiyuan suddenly a little sullen, and he didn't know what he thought, so he cautiously said to him: "Young master! I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Tongshan County tonight, otherwise, how about we rest for one night in the town in front of us, and we can rush to Tongshan County tomorrow! ”

Jia Qi's words immediately interrupted Gao Huaiyuan's train of thought, he took a deep breath, pulled his thoughts out of his worries, and said to himself, he seems to have fallen into a strange circle now, as if he, a person who has traveled through time and space, must be a savior when he comes to this era, since he can come to this era unexpectedly, there will be no other person in this world who will also travel back like him? What's more, now his foundation is not very stable, many things are still only in the initial accumulation stage, but every day is troubled by this thing, it is really a bit unfounded, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, if the world gives him a chance, he just needs to seize the opportunity at that time! Even if he really doesn't have a chance, then he can fight with them when the Mongol army attacks, even if he dies vigorously, it can be regarded as not living in vain, so why be depressed about this matter now?

"Alright! Let's rest in the town in front of us for one night now, and then rush to Tongshan County tomorrow! After Gao Huaiyuan got rid of the emotion just now, he smiled and nodded and replied, when he figured this thing out, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, now he just needs to continue to work hard in the direction he set, and take this opportunity to have a good taste of this era, which is not in vain!

The three of them then raised their legs and walked to the town in front of them, and found an inn in the town to stay, along the way, Gao Huaiyuan saw a lot of displaced people who fled due to the war, but after such a long time, he has long been accustomed to it, after all, even if he has money, he can't help so many hungry people, this era is like this, or when he has the ability, think about these things!

Early the next morning, the three of them set off again, talking and laughing all the way, and chatting a lot about the current situation, Jia Qi boasted that he had read a lot of books that Gao Huaiyuan got him in the past two years, although he didn't dare to boast of being well-educated, but he was also a person with vision, but once he talked about this aspect with Gao Huaiyuan, he felt that he couldn't hand over the tricks, Li Ergou was a rough man, and he was the only one who listened, so the two of them were fooled by Gao Huaiyuan, and they were dizzy, except for looking at Gao Huaiyuan with admiration, There is no way around it.

And Jia Qi also began to talk to Gao Huaiyuan, and gradually figured out why Gao Huaiyuan was so anxious to get some pigeons to feed, after all, he had also seen about the use of pigeons as a method of information transmission in the book, and figured out that Gao Huaiyuan wanted to establish a communication network belonging to their Crouching Tiger Village by raising pigeons, so he greatly admired Gao Huaiyuan's foresight.

After walking for more than half a day, the three of them finally came to the territory of Tongshan County, and were led by Jia Qi to find the village where the lame man lived.

At the end of the day, the three of them were not too tired, because it had rained in the morning, and all three of them got on the donkey cart and hurried by car, and the weather was cooler because of the rain, and when they reached the small village that Judge pointed to, the rain in the sky began to subside, and they got out of the car and walked towards the village on the muddy ground.

"I don't know if the cripple is still alive after not being here for more than two years! If the lame man is already dead, I'm afraid we'll have to come for nothing this time! When Judge got here, he suddenly became a little worried.

Gao Huaiyuan saw a few pigeons flying in the sky at a glance, so he asked Judge, "How old is that cripple you are talking about?" ”

"The cripple is not very old, that is, about thirty or forty years old! The family is so poor that he can't even afford his wife, and he still has the leisure to raise pigeons to play, I really can't figure out what he thinks! Judge shook his head and replied.

"Don't worry, the lame man you said is still alive! Look at the birds that fly in the sky, they are pigeons, and if the lame ones are gone, who will feed them? As for the cripple who likes to keep pigeons, this kind of thing does not have to be a rich person to keep it for fun, everyone has their own preferences, once you are fascinated by a thing, money does not seem to be an important matter! Like when you used to wander around, didn't you still wonder how to try new things? Hehe! Let's go! Let's go into the village and have a look! Gao Huaiyuan pointed to the pigeons flying in the sky and smiled at Judge.

Jia Qi and Li Ergou noticed the pigeons in the sky at this time, so they were also relieved, and followed Gao Huaiyuan to drive the donkey cart towards the village.

The small village is roughly the appearance of dozens of households, here is a distance from Tongshan County, it is relatively clean, it seems that there are not many outsiders who usually come to the village, when the children see their group of three, they are more curious, standing at the edge of the village and looking at them.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Jia Qi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's broken! After not coming here for so long, this place has changed a little, and I forgot where the lame man's house is in the village! Hey! ”

After Gao Huaiyuan looked around, he walked up to a few children who were playing in the water, and asked them with a smile: "Little brothers, I want to ask, do you know where the people in your village who like to raise these birds live?" ”

A child with pigtails on his head asked curiously: "Are you looking for Liu Cripple!" What are you looking for him? We haven't seen the cripple come out for a few days! Listening to my parents, Liu Cripple seems to be sick, and he is dying! ”

Gao Huaiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that a lonely disabled person, and a poor man with no relatives and no reason, if he was sick, it was likely to be really over, so he hurriedly asked: "Then you hurry up and take us to his house to have a look!" I have a few copper coins here, how about I buy you something to eat? ”

Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and asked for a few copper coins from Jia Qi, and distributed them to a few children, and a few little guys happily led Gao Huaiyuan and them towards a small courtyard in the northernmost part of the village.

Looking at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Gao Huaiyuan knew that Liu Cripple's family was indeed very bad, and after sending away a few children, Gao Huaiyuan stepped forward and slapped the courtyard gate made of a few wooden sticks, and looked into the courtyard through the fence.

There are only two low grass houses in the small courtyard, some vegetables are planted in the yard, and the most eye-catching thing is the pigeon nest made of wood chips on the edge of the grass house in the yard, a few pigeons make a cooing sound, walking around in the yard, looking up curiously at Gao Huaiyuan and the three people in front of the door.

Gao Huaiyuan is also a more knowledgeable person, at a glance you know that these pigeon breeds are good, among which there are a few very famous blood red and blue-eyed pigeons, and the rest are also unique to China's pink and gray pigeons, just seeing these pigeons, he knows that this Liu lame man is definitely a knowledgeable person, so he then knocked on the courtyard door a few times.

The three of them stood outside the courtyard and waited for a while, but no one came out to answer, several children watched them from a distance, pointing and not knowing what they were talking about, and Judge shouted twice outside the door with his throat: "Is there anyone at home?" ”

But except for the cooing of a few pigeons looking for food in the yard, there was still no response, and Judge looked back at Gao Huaiyuan and said, "It won't really be that my crow's mouth is right!" Will this lame Liu really die at home? ”

Gao Huaiyuan also felt that it seemed a little bad, so he no longer hesitated, immediately pushed open the gate of the fence, raised his legs and led Jia Qi and Li Ergou into the courtyard, and walked towards the door of the house.

Before they reached the door of the house, the three of them heard a faint moan coming from inside the house, Gao Huaiyuan was slightly happy in his heart, and hurriedly strode into the grass hut that exuded a musty smell.

The light in the room was very dim and damp, and the three of them did not get used to the light in the room for a while, and squinted their eyes to see a bed in the corner of the room, and a person was lying on the bed, and a broken bowl fell at the foot of the bed, and the moan just now came from this person.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about the unpleasant smell emanating from the room, walked to the bed in three steps and two steps, and looked down at the person on the bed.

I saw that this person had a sallow complexion, was almost skinny, and was lying on the bed with a gossamer, looking like he was already unconscious.

Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand to probe his forehead, gasped, his hand felt that this person's body temperature was very high, and it was even a little hot to the touch, so he immediately said: "This person is having a fever, it seems that he is not lightly ill!" Jia Qi hurriedly went out to inquire to see if there was any Lang Zhong in the village, and asked him to come over to treat this person, and Ergou quickly went to fetch some well water, and lowered his body temperature first, otherwise I am afraid that it will be dangerous! ”

The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and they both knew that Gao Huaiyuan was kind-hearted, especially good to the poor, so they didn't hesitate and ran out together.

After a while, Ergou came back with a bucket of well water, and according to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, he got a cloth and dipped it in well water, and helped Gao Huaiyuan wipe his body with well water for this person, Ergou also asked Gao Huaiyuan with some worry: "Young master, this person is estimated to be suffering from the wind cold, so wiping it with cold water will provoke him and make his condition more serious?" ”

"Nope! Now this person's body temperature is very high, if it takes a long time, he may not be able to stand it, we will help him physically cool down first, and lower the body temperature first, which is good for him! Feed him a little more water, it seems that he is still a little dehydrated, see if there is any salt in the house, put a little salt, and pour him some light salt water! Anyway, I won't hurt him, just do what I say! Whether he can pick up a life depends on his survival instinct! Gao Huaiyuan explained to Ergou.

Li Ergou listened to it ignorantly, but he habitually thought that what Gao Huaiyuan said was right, so he had no objection, and according to what Gao Huaiyuan said, he began to feed this cripple some light salt water.

At this time, two people from the village also walked in, and saw Gao Huaiyuan helping this Liu lame man to wipe his body and feed the water, and thought that they were Liu lame's distant relatives, so he hurriedly came over to help, after their tossing, Liu lame's situation seemed to be a little more stable, and he fell asleep groggily.

"You are ......" A middle-aged man tentatively wanted to inquire about Gao Huaiyuan's identity, and asked Gao Huaiyuan.

"Oh! We came from Daye County, and our surname was Gao, and we wanted to find him for something, but we happened to meet him who was seriously ill, so we rushed in, and there was no other meaning! You don't have to think about it! Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of the two neighbors, Gao Huaiyuan immediately explained.

"It turns out that you are not relatives of Liu Cripple! It seems that you are also good people! Speaking of this Liu lame man is also pitiful, he has been a lame man since he was a child, after his parents died, he relied on a few acres of thin fields to survive, and at this age he didn't even have a wife, he was poor and jingled, but he served a flock of birds every day! I really don't know what he thinks! I'm glad I met you this time, otherwise, we wouldn't have known he was sick like this! The middle-aged man sighed and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

From this person's mouth, Gao Huaiyuan heard their sympathy for Liu Cripple, but he also heard that Liu Lame didn't seem to communicate much with other people, otherwise, the villagers would not be so sick, no one knows.

During the chat, Jia Qi walked in with an old man and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Young master, there is no Lang Zhong in this village, this is the old man Zhao who knows some medical skills in the village, and for the time being, I can only ask the old man Zhao to show him first!" ”

The old man walked into the house, looked at Gao Huaiyuan, and felt that Gao Huaiyuan was extraordinary, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and looked at Liu Cripple lying on the bed.

Gao Huaiyuan kept paying attention to the old man's expression, seeing that he was nodding and shaking his head, he couldn't see why, and after waiting for a long time, the old man straightened up, shook his head and said, "No!" Liu Cripple is not light this time! The old man is not sure that he can be cured, otherwise you should ask for another master! ”

At this time, suddenly there was a moan on the bed, and everyone quickly turned their heads over, only to see that the lame man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, scanned the people in the room with a cloudy gaze, and finally fixed his eyes on Gao Huaiyuan, Jia Qi, and Ergou, and seemed to be a little surprised.

"Oh, I said lame, you're awake! You know if it weren't for these good Samaritans who happened to come to you today, you might have died in your bed! I just saw with my own eyes that people are helping you wipe your body and feeding you water! I went to invite Mr. Zhao to come over for your diagnosis and treatment, you have to thank these officials! The neighbor hurried to the bed and said to Liu Cripple.

Not only did Liu Cripple not be grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, but there was a vigilant look in his eyes, and he struggled to do it, but in the end, because he was sick and too weak, he still collapsed on the bed, panting heavily, as if he would die at any time.

Gao Huaiyuan is better at looking at each other's thoughts from people's eyes, and he can see at a glance Liu Cripple's hostility towards the three of them, and his mind turned slightly to understand the truth, so he smiled slightly and then stepped forward and said: "This Brother Liu, don't worry, I have no malice, although we are here to find you, but we will not take advantage of others!" Now that you are very sick, I want to take you to the city for medical treatment first, and then it will not be too late until you are cured! ”

When the neighbor heard this, he immediately said, "I said lame! You've met a noble person today! This official is a good man! You are blessed today, hurry up and follow this great official to see the sick! ”

Liu lame looked Gao Huaiyuan up and down, there seemed to be a contradiction in his eyes, he struggled a few more times, but still couldn't get up, so he said in a hoarse voice: "My pigeon ......"

"Alas! You cripple! When has it been, and I'm still thinking about your birds! Forget it, you just go to the doctor with this official, I will take care of you birds with Lao Zhao! As long as you don't die, none of your birds will be missing! "That neighbor of his, too, is a good person, patting his chest and assuring Liu Cripple.

At this time, Liu Cripple was more serious: "It's not a bird, it's a pigeon!" Those are pigeons, not ordinary birds! ”
