Early in the morning of the second day, my body was fully recovered, and then I prepared to go to Caoyunwai Wharf with Na Jintang.

There was still yesterday's boat on the dock, and there was a boatman standing on the boat, and when he saw me and Najintang coming, he nodded respectfully, and Najintang gently led me to the boat. Well, after going to bed, I actually felt that this operation was very dangerous.

I took out a peace charm from my bosom and put it in the hand of the brocade hall, and I smiled and said, "This peace charm is a good sign that I came to the temple two days ago and asked for. I originally wanted to follow you all the way this time, and I will also play a peace charm on my body in the future, I never believed in these before, but I believed so, two days ago, I asked for this peace from the temple, hoping that we can all return safely from Niutou Mountain......"

Na Jintang smiled unruly: "How come? With you, a peerless generation in the world, how could I be willing to go to the underworld, besides, you, a woman who picked up a kitchen knife with a knife in her hand, are as fierce as a bull head and a horse, I don't expect that Lord Yama will not dare to accept us. ”

I knew he was joking, and I chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll also take a kitchen knife to Lord Hades." Let's go on an adventure, happy and chic! I handed him the peace charm.

The brocade wanted to return the peace charm to me, and put it in my pocket seriously: "I don't need a big man. When the time comes, when she encounters danger, she will trouble the little lady to save her husband's life. ”

I looked up and smiled: "Don't worry, you actually talk about people, talk nonsense, cut down mountains, build bridges when you see rivers, in short, in one sentence, you don't wear thousands of sycophants." It's okay if I lose every time I gamble, but I promise I won't let you lose this time. ”

Na Jintang suddenly smiled and said to me, "Ready, wife, the adventure is about to begin, we are going to Niutou Mountain!" ”

The brocade nodded to the boatman, the boatman did not dare to have any slackness and nodded respectfully, the boat began to row slowly, when the boat finally sailed out of the horizon, the two of us had a bias towards the tiger mountain line, the old man prepared the gift, and the one that could not be met was placed on the boat. I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart, and secretly thought: They all say how powerful the Thirteenth Taibao is, no, aren't I following the top masters of the Thirteenth Taibao now?

At this time, the brocade bag took out a map, which was a map of the island in the middle of the lake. Na Jintang said: "When you come with me, there will be more dangers, now I will tell you the details, this ask the map, just in case, you must be familiar with all the terrain." Only by doing so can we know each other and know ourselves, defend and attack. ”

"That's great, let's talk about it." I was very interested and rubbed my hands on my fists.

"Niutou Mountain is surrounded by water on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Of course, we just look at the situation, not to fight, and you are in front of my wife, and it is reasonable for us to show up. Be sure to calm down, don't easily accept the provocation of others, and then we will see the opportunity to act, although my martial arts are okay, I guarantee that you are no problem, but the top master, but after all, you are a good tiger can not stand the wolves, and there is a very critical situation, try not to do it easily. We are not here to negotiate this time, not to fight, otherwise we will not achieve our goal. ”

I said, "How is it very critical?" Everything has a scale, this is not easy to grasp, is it not that they don't do it, we can't do it. ”

Na Jintang pondered for a moment: "It's better not to do it. Not until the last resort. ”

I thought about it, nodded and said, "Would you like to take a look?" When we get to do good business in the hospital, as long as you wink at me......" I said, I squeezed my eyebrows and made an example, "Let's do it together, otherwise we must not do it, okay?" ”

"Are you sure you're here to play?" The brocade went to laugh at me.

"Don't you blink your eyes and touch your nose, these people hold wine glasses as they did in ancient times, and as soon as I hear you smash them, that's when I launch a general attack. Then we thunder and storm, and then have an autumn wind to sweep away the leaves, let them know what is called the precipice, if they listen to us, let them be all the best! "My whimsical way.

I saw the corners of Na Jintang's mouth crooked: "Beauty, we are not here to fight, they have more than 1,000 brothers, the probability of victory or defeat is still obvious, we must be calm, steady, and composed, see how your husband has a three-inch tongue, let's have an autumn wind to sweep the leaves." ”

"Blow it out with your mouth? I believe this, don't you know? Don't you know that I'm the famous cat ninety-nine storyteller, uh-huh......"

After the brocade hall hugged me tightly, we sat on the boat, quietly watching the scenery, waiting for the unknown Niutou Mountain.

The scenery along the way is very beautiful. The volume of the canal leading to Niutou Mountain has always been very congested, because this section was very prosperous in those years, and the topography along the river changed differently, 40 feet to 60 feet was a royal canal channel, and it was full of long boards to lengthen Western-style Chinese-style and other various types of ships.

On both sides of the river, the laundry women knelt on the shore, pounding their clothes with sticks on the stone slabs, the sound of laundry banging on their clothes, the women chattering and laughing, and their children playing beside them, some riding on their backs. When we passed through another small village. The voices of the women talking and washing clothes grew louder and louder, and it seemed that the area was full of simple villagers, and some young men were strolling along the riverbank, or gathering, or leaning over to look at the hips and waists of the rows of women in the laundry.

When we reached the countryside, the river road widened, and our little boat set up its sails, and sailed by the power of the wind, and between the two banks of the emerald city, taking advantage of the open sky behind us, the wind was full of sails, and the boatman sat on the bow of the boat, smoking dry tobacco, and his strong shoulders and back and limbs shining in the sun.

The further we go, the less people are there, it means that we have gradually come to Niutou Mountain. I suddenly had a strange loneliness, a strange freedom. Our journey is finally coming to an end.

It's going to be a new journey, this kind of adventurous journey. This journey will lead you to a new ending, and that will be the beginning of a new problem. I suddenly felt a little lonely, and I sometimes longed to be alone.

This kind of loneliness makes people feel like they want to reflect and think, as if it is the time to end the previous paragraph and start the next paragraph. The future is hazy and interesting, and has not yet taken on an outline, and I feel a new impulse within me.

Of course, this is free breathing. It's not the same thing as loving or not loving that Jintang.

The breeze and the turquoise countryside have cleared my mind, and I am now able to breathe freely, and I am able to think in comfort and solitude. I rested my head on the shoulders of the brocade hall and lay on my back, and the brocade hall hugged me together like this. The two of us were silent, quietly immersed in this rare tacit understanding.

Then I loosened my hair, let it flutter in the wind, and sat with my hands on the paint, indulging in fantasies about the unknowable future ahead. I know that my destiny is in my own hands, and I will never allow others to interfere.

Na Jintang lit a cigar, and he was smoking leisurely again, and my body slid into a reclining position. In this posture, the old-fashioned woman was embarrassed to lie down like this in broad daylight, and the brocade gently poked my hands, and I moved those hands and stroked the face of the brocade.

The boat slowly glided on the water, the sound of oars, the sound of the water, the rhythm and rhythm, I couldn't help but sink more and more into meditative fantasy as I listened. I thought to myself, what kind of existence is Niutou Mountain?

Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at Na Jintang and asked him, "What if they don't agree to our cooperation?" Isn't it cheaper for Sanxin Company? I heard that the freight has been checked tightly recently, and they can't be served in one pot, so no one wants to do it! ”

That Jintang raised his eyebrows and didn't ask me, "What do you think?" ”

I said indignantly: "Anyway, we don't do tobacco business, I can't make money, so we must not use Sanxin Company to make money so cheaply, these unkind and unrighteous people, with money, they are not more oppressive to the people, and they must not be allowed to squeeze out this hard-earned money from the people." In my mind, we didn't make any money and we didn't want them to make it! ”

"Looks like you have a point." Na Jin'er smiled with satisfaction.

"And what else do you say?" I asked him rhetorically.

Na Jin'er took a breath, her face was solemn, she bowed her head and said softly: "My little cat, do you know that from the early stage to the present, my extremely weak powers in China have been rampant, warlords have divided their territories, and the people are not living well, what is the biggest cancer among them?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, I had never thought of this, but something big happened in the late Qing Dynasty, and I once heard the villagers discussing these things in the orphanage. At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette didn't know which tendon to draw or which wind to be hit, and she had to declare war with the whole world. Later, not only did we not win the war, but we were also given a lot of land to others. In other words, what Galeries Lafayette does is all at a loss.

Thinking of this, I tentatively said, "Is that what everyone calls the tobacco business?" ”

"That's right, it's the tobacco business." There was a trace of worry and ruthlessness on Na Jintang's face: "It's that these opiums are packaged by other countries as *, and the beautiful name is to make us healthy, but in fact, it is a bag to compensate our Chinese nation. In the past, although the Beiyang department was not allowed*, but the tributaries of Sanxin Company peeked at its huge profits, relying on the collusion of foreigners, colluding with local warlords, buying water and land routes, and selling them on a large scale*. In addition, the current warlords are divided and independent, and these are the main economic sources for these elites who rely on profiteering along the way. This is something I will never allow to see, and it is a business that will be cut off. ”

I have always admired and admired that Jintang very much, I am very, really good, I didn't expect the glasses to see such a situation, I was a little dumbfounded for a while, I couldn't believe it, this is the little boss who is frightening.

Feeling compassion for the sky and the world in my heart, I licked my lips and whispered: "I don't seem to have thought of so many ......"
