*******************************

Master Lu and Leader Lu left in a hurry, probably to discuss with his brothers, and only Wu Ming, who was silently smoking and checking the map, and Lu Kuiyuan, who was at a loss, were left under the big tree.

Lu Kuiyuan, who had just turned twenty years old, was very strong, and since he was five years old, his old man forced him to practice the family tradition of Tongjiquan, and he also had to follow the second master Lu to learn the four books and five classics, practice calligraphy, and persisted for fifteen years, and his foundation was very solid.

Wu Ming felt that although this son had been in the mountains for a long time with a simple mind and a simple temperament, if he had the opportunity to go out for a walk and see the world and broaden his horizons, he would soon be able to stimulate his extraordinary talent.

On the night of the attack, Lu Kuiyuan slashed people with a knife under Wu Ming's nose, and Wu Ming was deeply shocked by the fierceness he showed, a few days ago at the foot of the back mountain, Wu Ming and Lu Kuiyuan quietly competed, but Wu Ming supported more than a dozen moves or failed, and greatly admired Lu Kuiyuan's amazing strength and speed, which made Lu Kuiyuan feel good for several days, and he seemed much more confident.

In the past half a month, Lu Kuiyuan accompanied Wu Ming to travel all over the mountains and rivers within a radius of 100 miles, and deeply admired Wu Ming's ability and profound knowledge, almost to the point of worship, he not only learned the essentials of shooting and firearms knowledge from Wu Ming, but also learned the superficial topographic knowledge, knowing what is the altitude of the road, what is the angle of observation, and knowing that the road can calculate the height of the mountain according to the projection of the sun, and a new field opens up in front of him, which makes him sincerely afraid and feel novel.

But now, Lu Kuiyuan was worried again, he couldn't fully understand the conversation between Wu Ming and the two elders just now, but he knew that the danger was in front of him, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave this place.

Seeing Wu Ming rolling up the map, Lu Kuiyuan, who was waiting anxiously, hurriedly asked, "Big brother, are we going to move to Maoliangwu, the hometown of the second uncle?" ”

Wu Ming nodded, rolled up a paper cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "A lot of things have happened outside recently, and I have also discussed with you, this place is too dangerous, you have to go." ”

"Is it okay to have Mao Liangwu here?" Lu Kuiyuan asked anxiously.

How to answer that? Wu Ming knows very well what Maoliangwu is, in his memory it is Leyuan Creek water transport, Qianligang Mountain Range and the Huaiyu Mountain Range in the west give Leyuan Creek abundant water, so that this river from the Tang Dynasty, can carry nearly 100 tons of ships all year round, Ming and Qing dynasties where hollowed out silver and copper ore, a large part of which is transported from Maoliangwu.

What is even more rare is that within a radius of 50 miles of Maoliangwu has the best fluorite mine in western Zhejiang, as well as one of the few high combustion value coal mines in Changshan and a large number of high-quality limestone and ceramic clay, although it is surrounded by remote mountains, but the hidden roads in the mountains extend in all directions, the output of tea oil and rare wood is close to half of the total output of Changshan County, and the forest coverage rate is still more than 70% after a hundred years.

There are also two most important points, that is, no matter in the past or in the future, all the flames of war will not burn to Maoliangwu, which has beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery, like a paradise; Secondly, Wu Ming found that he was too lonely and too weak, no matter what the road went in the future, he needed a place to live and a group of people who could help him.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Ming could only answer: "That place should be better than here, first of all, there is much more land than here, there is a river called Leyuan Creek, you can take a big boat, there are many small streams around, the land is fertile, drought and flood are guaranteed, all around are endless forests and mountains, and hundred-year-old trees can be seen everywhere." I remember reading a book that said that there is a stone in the northwest of Maoliangwu that can shine for three days when illuminated by light, just like the legendary night pearl. ”

Lu Kuiyuan was very excited: "If you find it, won't you make a fortune?" ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "It depends on your luck, but you still have to ask your father and your second uncle to agree to relocate there, as long as you go there, you can find it slowly." ”

Lu Kuiyuan's face was flushed with excitement, and he suddenly became anxious again: "Big brother, are you going to live with us?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "I don't have a place to go for the time being, in a few months, I'm afraid that there will be a big chaos in Northeast and North China, and then it is estimated that there will be a big battle in Shanghai." Remember the Orientals I told you? Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, their troops have been stationed in the three northeastern provinces of our country and Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Fuzhou and other places, because their country is an island, can not feed their rapidly increasing population every year, so decades ago they began to deliberately invade our country, you know that there are them in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Sino-Japanese War that is regarded as a hundred years of shame by the Chinese people, the Manchu Dynasty was squeezed hundreds of millions of taels of silver by them before and after, they took this money to develop industry, build warships and guns, and then come back to fight us, Now I'm afraid that the Oriental army is ready to move. ”

"The government's army doesn't care?" Lu Kuiyuan was extremely angry.

Wu Ming smiled: "Do you think the government's army is very strong? ”

"This ......"

Lu Kuiyuan was stunned, but Brother Wu in front of him was a ruthless man who killed the head of the government army alone: "Then will the Oriental army hit our place?" ”

Wu Ming thought for a while: "It's possible, but, no matter what, they will never hit Maoliangwu, because it is not easy to get to that place, there are inaccessible mountains along the way, and the only feasible thing is to enter from the waterway. ”

Lu Kuiyuan finally put his mind at ease, pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "Big brother, I know why you chose Mao Liangwu, I want to follow you, I will follow you all my life." ”

Wu Ming was quite surprised, and saw Lu Kuiyuan's expectant and firm eyes, so he had to agree: "You are my brother, I only have three brothers in my life, one is called Tian Zhenggang, it is estimated that he is still farming in my hometown, and the other is called Chengzong, a Taoist priest, he was the one who saved my life in the first place, and the remaining one is you." No matter what your dad decides, when I settle down, I want to go to Hangzhou and Shanghai, and then you want to, let's go together. ”

Lu Kuiyuan was overjoyed, and just as he was about to say something, he saw his father, second uncle, third uncle, and several other uncles walking briskly, so he had to close his mouth and stand aside obediently.

Wu Ming glanced at the people who sat down one after another, picked up the cold tea and drank it slowly without speaking.

Under the signal of Lu Zhengde's master, Master Lu coughed lightly and stared at Wu Ming: "We have decided, listen to you, there is no other way to go anyway, it's just that the brothers want you to be with us." ”

Wu Ming asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"The sooner the better, otherwise there will be more dreams at night." After Lu Zhengde answered, the others nodded one after another, and it seemed that everyone was scared.

"There are nearly 100 people of all ages, how to go?" Wu Ming asked again.

Master Lu showed a confident smile: "You don't have to worry about this, we are very familiar with every road to the east." ”

Everyone laughed and chatted for more than half an hour, and the others left in a hurry under the orders of the leader of Lu Da, leaving only Master Lu and Lu Da in charge, who seemed to have something to say to Wu Ming.

Master Lu really showed his hole cards to Wu Ming frankly: "This go, the pots and jars accumulated for more than ten years have to be thrown away, except for money, guns and bullets and clothes, we plan to pack up tomorrow, and leave quietly in the middle of the night after tomorrow, cross Sanqing Lake by boat from the east mountain pass, and then bypass the path. ”

Wu Mingzhi Lu Road is not far from the border of Changshan County, take the road less than 40 kilometers, cross the Sanqing Lake in the east and take the path closer, at most about 30 kilometers, although the road is difficult to walk, but do not need to go through any checkpoints, it is better to be safe.

Seeing that Wu Ming had no opinion, Master Lu gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Wu, let's not hide it, although we have saved more than 200,000 oceans of hard-earned money now, we have to include the fields, houses and food consumption for most of the year after nearly 100 people of all ages and children arrive in the new place, and the cost will not be less, and we have to think about the future days." You are talented, and my brothers and I believe in you, and you must have a plan in mind, right? ”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "Look up to me, you are all old rivers and lakes, you eat more salt than I eat rice, and western Zhejiang is your hometown, no matter which aspect you should know better than me, but one thing I am still sure of, from the map and the newspaper to understand the situation, to Maoliangwu is not a problem, it is estimated that there are not a few families left, it is a big deal to send some money to the surrounding people, and get along with them, it is not a problem to spend some effort to open up wasteland and farm, and everything will be easy to do this year." ”

"What about the future?"

The master asked unrelentingly.

Wu Ming weighed it again and again, but still expressed his opinion: "If the ancient book I read is not wrong, there is a Dongwu Mountain about five miles west of Maoliangwu, and there is a very easy coal mine under the mountain, which is a rare good coal mine in the entire western Zhejiang, unlike the kind of stone coal that can be seen everywhere that is difficult to burn, it is really coal that can strike iron, burn porcelain, and make foreign ash." ”

Master Lu and Lu Zhengde were stunned, Wu Ming pretended not to see it: "Then there is, you also know the Leyuan River of Ludao, although the name sounds like a stream, but it is actually a river with a very wide water surface, and the big boat of nearly 100 tons can go straight to Zhaoxian Town, and then go from Zhaoxian Town, whether it is to go east to Quzhou City, or to the west to Changshan County, it is very convenient by water and land." ”

"When you settle down, if you want, you can buy two more cargo ships with diesel engines and come back to do coal business, this kind of ship is sold in Shanghai and Hangzhou, and the news is published in the newspapers, and you can buy one for 23,000 oceans, which is equipped with 220 horsepower diesel engines made in the United States, and there is no problem in transporting 100 tons of goods against the current, if you really want to buy it, it is estimated that the price can be lower."

Master Lu took a deep breath and turned to Lu Zhengde, who was extremely puzzled after being shocked: "Zhengde, what do you mean?" ”

Lu Zhengde bit his cheeks: "!" If that's the case, you won't have to worry about it in the future, but you have to catch this kid and let him do it! ”

Wu Ming was shocked, the Lu family brothers didn't care what his reaction was, they immediately leaned up and used both soft and hard, and began to finalize the details of the relocation after a while.

Early the next morning, Wu Ming, who had shaved his face clean, changed into the black youth uniform, took the Mauser pistol and took Lu Kuiyuan with him, followed the three masters Li Kun and a few others to quietly leave the cottage, and went to the crossing at the foot of the mountain to meet the two eyeliners who had breakfast at home, and boarded the wooden boat to cross Sanqing Lake and go east.

After dark the next day, under the escort of dozens of bandits, old and young people held torches, and by the moonlight, they reluctantly left the cottage where they had lived for many years.
