282 Ferry crossing

Xiao Nan has a rainy physique, and Miao Feng and Wanyue discovered this when they were in Xiao Cheng. Sure enough, after staying at the hotel for less than one night, it started to rain in the area.

They had to stay in a hotel for another night and wait for the rain to pass.

After a day's train, it's not as far as running a high-speed train for a few hours. Ticket prices are still expensive.

Otherwise, the inland is still relatively closed at this time.

Finally, when the rain stopped, I could only buy a train ticket for the night, so I had to sleep on the train for the night.

That Xiao Xiao is really determined to follow them, there is a lot of nonsense along the way, he is very capable of talking about the mountains, he is worthy of walking the rivers and lakes, and his mouth can simply run a racecourse.

Until this time, Xiao Nan still felt that the equipment of the train or something in the Republic of China travel was a little behind, but after changing the train a few times, the cruel reality finally appeared.

Further on, there are no railways, and at this time there are no railways in developed areas, let alone the western regions. Even the road is intermittent.

I want to buy a car, but at this time, all the cars in the country are concentrated in developed cities, and even bicycles are rare in small places.

Besides, after buying it, it can't be driven at all, because there is no section of the highway.

Xiao Nan only then felt how weird and advanced Xiao Cheng's development was!

If you want to get to the southwest safely, you have to hire a special kind of businessman, the dart master, and the horse team they are in charge of.

This kind of profession that only appears in martial arts, Xiao Nan saw it with his own eyes for the first time, and deliberately followed Xiao Xiao to the dart bureau to watch the whole process of hiring.

The dart bureau is a very clean courtyard, a bit like a martial arts hall, it seems that there is really a martial arts hall here at the same time, and there are still people practicing in the compound, a kind of Republic of China martial arts style is blowing in the face.

Xiao Nan couldn't help but look at it twice, after all, people are in business, they are very eye-catching, Xiao Nan took a few more glances and immediately sent good tea, in fact, what kind of bodyguard did Xiao Nan want, he just thought it was so interesting. As long as Miao Feng is alone, he can already be worth thousands of troops.

Since they have all chosen to travel during the Republic of China, it is natural to thoroughly follow the rules of this time and experience the real scenery on the road.

The gap between Shanghai and other places is too big, and the prices are also very different. The cost of hiring the best team of horsemen and horses in the local area, plus miscellaneous carriages and other things, is not as expensive as hiring a few servants in the Shanghai Concession.

This dart board is also a time-honored brand, it is said that it has been passed down for four or five generations, and it has been famous since the Qianlong period, and it is also a family of craftsmen in the future.

Industrialization has more or less impacted their business, and they are also very happy to receive Xiao Nan's order, now there are few long-distance bulk transactions, and the price given by Xiao Nan is also extremely favorable, and the shopkeeper of the dart bureau treats him as a guest. However, now that the army is in chaos, even the dart bureau can only send them to the riverside ferry, and then go west, out of the province, which is the territory of the warlords, and they don't dare to cross the road casually, not to mention that the toll is really frighteningly high, once out of the province, it is a loss-making business.

At this time, the chaotic situation in the interior led to the fact that each province was like an independent kingdom, and some warlords occupied a single place, and they had to charge for crossing the mountains and woodlands, plus some powerful bandits, which was extremely complicated.

Troubled times, really messy.

From here, the means of transportation became a carriage, and the dart bureau was responsible for pulling the lead, and they rented a few good carriages on the road, and after only a few days of driving, Xiao Nan had already begun to adapt to the soil. In the past, he was pampered, where was he really so tired, and before the carriage left for two days, he changed from the initial excitement to being paralyzed in the carriage and unable to move.

"Why don't you rest for a few days." Wanyue suggested.

"Haven't I been resting?" Xiao Nan lay in the carriage and said.

"I've asked the master that we'll soon be in the village near the ferry, where we can rest and relax for a few days." Lin Yi said, "I also think that the master is too good at tossing, and he can use a faster way to ......."

"It's not a toss at all, that's how most people travel in this day and age. Besides, aren't we good? Xiao Nan said stiffly.

"I want to rest for a few days." Miao Feng said directly, "I'm tired." ”

"............" Xiao Nan has nothing to say.

The villages and towns by the ferry are a little more backward, even the electricity is not connected, the building is also the original Ming and Qing Dynasty style, and even feel that the modern atmosphere rarely penetrates, the only modern atmosphere, probably the big braids that people cut off, and some Chinese and Western combination of wear.

Because the town is a bit remote and there are not many pedestrians, the arrival of Xiao Nan and his party has become a lot of news, and it has also caused good people to watch from the sidelines.

The hotel where Xiao Nan stayed was also the kind of traditional restaurant inn, his room was the best upper room, the whole inn was not as gorgeous as in martial arts movies, but it was also delicate and tidy enough, and it was very tidy. According to the dart masters, if you go further west, the inn is not so beautiful, and you may only have to rely on a temporary ladder to go upstairs, and the so-called guest room is just a top floor full of haystacks.

This made Xiao Nan think of the towns around Xiao Cheng, where the conditions were indeed much better than here.

The small town is not as lively as the big city, and it seems very lonely before nightfall. There was no electric light, the house was very dim inside and outside, Xiao Nan had dinner and half lay on the bed early and had nothing to do. Wan Yue went to give a reward to the dart masters on behalf of Xiao Nan - except for a few foot forces and coachmen, these dart masters will return tomorrow, and Wan Yue sent the reward money in advance.

Along the way, everyone is familiar with Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan is very angry in business, and he gives a lot of rewards, which can be regarded as getting acquainted with these dart people. The dart masters who took the bounty were very happy, and a few of them went out to play together.

In this town, there are also gambling houses and hidden flower houses.

No matter what the era, men always have a few things to pass the night.

"Thirteenth Master, do you want to play too?" Xiao Xiao said, "The important people here are still very famous, and it is said that there are many beautiful little girls." ”

"No need." Xiao Nan said with a glass of water.

"Then Master Miao, ...... you"

"Shut up!!" Miao Feng put his knife heavily on the table. Nowadays, only people with the ability can get their hands on hot weapons, and even the dart masters use some knives, and people don't seem to think it's strange to bring a knife out to defend themselves.

While they were discussing, someone knocked on the door.

Xiao Xiao opened the door, and several fancy women forcibly squeezed in - the business information in this town is really spreading fast, and they actually took the initiative to come to the door to find business!

"What are you doing! Get out of here! Our master didn't call you in! Lin Yi stopped the women.

"Yo, uncle~ What are you so reserved~ We are here today to be the best goods in the Spring Flower Garden~" The woman who was a half-old began to sell hard, and the woman behind her began to entangle Miao Feng and Linyi.

"Get out of here!" Miao Feng waved away the two women, "I didn't call you here!" Get out! Don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

However, the two women fell to the ground, humming and chirping.

"Oops! You actually injured my daughter! Killed! Killed! It's unreasonable! The old woman screamed loudly, and at first glance it was a disguised touch.

"I've covered the cost of these girls tonight." Xiao Nan said quietly, "I don't like to be too noisy, please be quiet." If you take the money, please go back. ”

His voice was not high, soft and weak, but the old woman did not relent: "How can this be done? We can't take your money for nothing, right? Childe, are you weak? Don't worry, our girl is very good at serving people~"

"No need, I want to be quiet, I'm not feeling well." Xiao Nan said. With that, he covered his mouth and coughed.

"I'll go get the medicine!" Lin Yi said nervously. In fact, when Xiao Nan didn't know, he used the materials that could be obtained in Shanghai Pharmacy to help Xiao Nan dispense some emergency medicine, and sure enough, it came in handy at this time.

No one knows better than him what Xiao Nan's body looks like. Because he has served Xiao Nan's clone for so long.

Seeing this, those women looked at the middle-aged woman one after another, and the woman finally had a little look at her - Xiao Nan looked like a weak and sickly scholar young master, and she was anxious, maybe she forced the gold lord to be anxious. So he said a thousand blessings: "Since you are unwell, son, let's come to visit you another day, I don't know when you will leave?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this." Miao Feng forcibly blasted them out.

After they all left, Xiao Nan said, "These people are really ...... See the stitches. ”

"It's not like you're too swaggering." Miao Feng said, "Did you really cough?" ”

"No, I forced a cough." Xiao Nan said.

"Really?!" Lin Yi said a little disappointed, he took out the potion.

"yes, don't worry, I said I was in control of my body." After that, Xiao Nan continued to lie on the bed and hummed, "Ah...... I'm tired ......"

"I also have a potion for calcium!" Linyi offers treasure road.

"Forget it, I really don't need it, you can drink it yourself." Xiao Nan looked up and said, "I think we will leave quickly after staying for a few days, the people here are too 'enthusiastic'." ”

————

Xiao Nan is really popular, the next day, the Spring Flower Garden sent a woman over, and said that it was specially for Xiao Nan to boil medicinal food, specially sent, this time I found a person with a good appearance, and as soon as I entered the house, I discharged Xiao Nan's eyes, and I wanted to use all my strength to lure the other party.

Naturally, this woman was also forcibly taken out by Miao Feng and Lin Yi, and these women couldn't make a big deal about Xiao Nan, so they became angry and spread rumors about Xiao Nan in the town.

The rumors are still extremely outrageous, saying that Xiao Nan brought a whole box of gold and hurried away, you can imagine what kind of effect this rumor spread in a chaotic place.

However, this seemingly peaceful but chaotic town is not only this spring flower garden. Early in the morning, gongs and drums were beating on the streets outside, and people were full of voices, as if someone was marrying, but there was no ceremonial music and firecrackers. Xiao Nan turned his wheelchair to the window and looked out, and his eyes suddenly widened.

It turned out to be a team of people escorting a woman in a wooden cage on a flat car, and the streets were full of people watching the excitement, and people were throwing leaves and stones at the woman in the cage as they walked.

"What's going on?" Xiao Nan asked Miao Feng.

Miao Feng shook his head: "It looks like a prisoner." I'll ask what's going on. ”

After a while, Miao Feng reported back and forth: "I asked the shopkeeper, and said that the woman was originally married to an old man, but she didn't keep the woman, and she seduced a wild man and was going to be dragged into the river to dip in the pig cage." ”

"That's a little too cruel." Xiao Nan frowned.

"However, if we make a move, it is likely to cause discontent among the locals. But I don't care. Miao Feng said, "The people in this town are very easy to solve. ”

The solution he said was a direct result of the other party's life.

Xiao Nan said: "I don't think you are indiscriminate killing of innocents. Take me to see this 'execution' by the locals, maybe I can do something. ”

"What can you do? Can't help but be a demon at last? Miao Feng tilted his head and said, "Who said that he wouldn't use ...... easily?"

"I'm here to save people." Xiao Nan hooked the corners of his mouth.
