Chapter 9: The Plague and the High Demand
September 9th, Chung Yeung Festival!
Just like what happened in the plot, the rumors of Lu Pheasant's choice of son-in-law that spread suddenly aroused the craze of Quanpei County, and they came to participate in Lu Gong's banquet.
These Wan Gu saw it in their eyes and didn't stop it, just went out for a walk occasionally in their spare time.
He only hoped that the matter here would be resolved quickly, and then he would go to Tangwu Mountain with Yi Xiaochuan.
After all, in the original book, the people of Beiyanshan seem to have traveled all over the world a month before Yi Xiaochuan's arrival.
And through the calculation of Wangu, with the footsteps of Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao, coupled with the backward construction of official roads in this era, it will take them at least three months to walk from here to Yandi.
In other words, they must arrive at Tangwu Mountain within two months, otherwise they will not see the people of Beiyanshan at all.
It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, Lu Pheasant's whole body and mind have been devoted to Yi Xiaochuan.
It's a pity that Jiao Niang is intentional, and Lang Zi is ruthless!
At the same time, Wan Gu also found that Lu Su's little girl often passed by outside Wan Gu's house, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
…………
At the gate of Lu Mansion, there is a lot of traffic everywhere, and the rivers are endless, and the people with heads and faces in Pei County have come, and there are a lot of people who see the excitement.
It took a lot of effort for the servants of the Lu family to keep out the many people who wanted to sneak in.
In the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, the seats were full. At the table closest to the main seat sat the most important guests, all of whom had spent a lot of money to sit in their current seats.
Lu Pheasant and Lu Gong hid behind the door of the hall, observing these guests, and the two discussed who was more suitable for Lu Su.
Originally, Lu Gong was extremely opposed to the gimmick of choosing a son-in-law, thinking that this was insulting.
However, Lu Pheasant thinks that Lu Su marrying into a local wealthy family can not only ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing in the future, but also protect the status of the Lu family in Pei County.
When Lu Gong heard this, he also felt that what his eldest daughter said was right, so he acquiesced to Lu Pheasant's approach.
At the banquet, the guests were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and suddenly there was a shout outside the door: "Congratulations to Qianwan!" Congratulations to Qian Wan! Congratulations to Qian Wan! ”
Lu Gong and the guests were taken aback, stopped, and looked at each other. Outside the door, there were still calls for "congratulations to Qian Wan".
Xiao Chuan wondered: "Where did this come from, dare to come and kick the field!" ”
Then he walked out. After inquiring and knowing that it was the famous Liu Bang, he took Liu Bang into the banquet with a swagger.
"This person is the Liu Laosan who cheated on eating and drinking!"
"It's the leather basket!"
"That's right, it's him, this man is so poor that he has cramps, and he's too lazy to do it!"
…………
Subsequently, what was originally a lively banquet suddenly became a criticism meeting against Liu Bang, and in the face of such a thousand people, no matter how good the psychological quality is, I am afraid that it will collapse. But this Liu Bang didn't care, and looked complacent.
However, in Wangu's eyes, this is just a thick skin, and there is nothing to be proud of.
At this time, Lu Pheasant, who had been secretly watching in the hall, was already so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and a feast carefully planned by himself and Xiaochuan was disturbed by him.
In this way, Lu Gong's Chongyang banquet passed under Liu Bang's trouble.
Yi Xiaochuan is still the same as the original book, and he bowed to Liu Bang, and also agreed to Liu Bang's request to help him match.
…………
Ryo House Room, a room in Wangu.
Yi Xiaochuan came to Wan Gu excitedly and said, "Brother Wan, let me tell you, it turns out that the person who wanted to cheat that day was the famous Han Gaozu Liu Bang." And I married him as a brother of the opposite sex. ”
He wanted to find Wan Gu and share his joy together.
"Don't bother me, I've known this kind of thing for a long time. Even if that kid becomes Han Gaozu in the future, he is nothing in my eyes. Wangu sat cross-legged and said coldly.
According to the original book, this Liu Bang can have such a great cause, and it is not all because of Yi Xiaochuan.
Without Yi Xiaochuan, he is nothing. If he hadn't been worried that if he killed Liu Bang, the mythical world would collapse, he would have chopped this boring Liu Bang into meat paste and fed it to the dogs.
"Ah..., it turns out that Brother Wan already knew." , Yi Xiaochuan said embarrassedly.
Seeing that Wan Gu didn't care, he began to think about how to help the eldest brother Liu Bang propose marriage, which made Wan Gu upset.
"You don't have to worry about Liu Bang's affairs, let's get out of here quickly, go to Tangwu Mountain, and find a way back." , Looking at Yi Xiaochuan, who was jumping up and down, Wan Gu said suddenly.
They had been staying at Duke Lu's house for five days, and Wan Gu had long wanted to leave.
"That's what I said, then I'll go and say goodbye to Gong Lu, and help Brother Liu Bang propose marriage by the way." , Yi Xiaochuan pondered carefully, it was really, and then said.
"Wait, I see that the Lu sisters are very attentive to you, and I'm worried that she will run away from home and chase us and have some accidents, so you remember to remind Lu Gong and keep an eye on them." Wan Gu suddenly reminded.
As long as Lu Su can't run away from home, he won't be in danger if he wants to come, and Wan Gu's former wish can be regarded as understood.
After Wan Gu's reminder, Yi Xiaochuan felt that it made sense, he did feel Lu Pheasant's meticulous care in the past few days, and now that he thinks about it, maybe Lu Pheasant is really in love with himself?
Immediately, he thought to himself: This is not good, there are still a lot of beautiful women waiting for me in the twenty-first century, how can I ......
…………
Lu Pheasant returned to the boudoir and pretended to say to Lu Su mysteriously: "Sister, you are about to have a happy event!" ”
Lu Su put down the work at hand and wondered: "I'm sitting at home, where will there be happy events, my sister is making fun of me again!" ”
"How could I make fun of my sister, my father chose a wealthy and handsome son as a husband for you from among the guests of the Double Ninth Banquet, and he is ready to arrange a marriage for you."
After hearing this, Lu Su was not half happy, but his face turned pale, and he said sadly: "Sister, don't come to scare Su Su, when did I say that I want to get married?" ”
Seeing that her sister reacted so violently, Lu Pheasant was inexplicable and comforted: "If you don't like this son, it doesn't matter, my sister and father will help you find someone." ”
"I don't want you to help me find someone! I've already had someone I love! ”
When Lu Pheasant heard this, he immediately smiled and threatened: "I see, who is he, tell my sister, and my sister will help you go and say goodbye." ”
He ...... He is Wan Gongzi ......! ”
……………………
In the afternoon of the same day, Yi Xiaochuan went to Lu Gong and informed him of the news of his imminent departure, and at the same time helped Liu Bang propose to Lu Pheasant.
But what Yi Xiaochuan didn't notice was that their conversation was overheard by Lu Pheasant.
As soon as Liu Bang and Yi Xiaochuan left, Lu Pheasant walked out angrily and said coquettishly: "Daddy, look at that waste Liu Bang, the family is surrounded by walls, and he still wants to eat swan meat like a toad, wishful thinking." ”
When Lu Gong heard this, he smiled and said: "I think this Liu Bang is good, he has great ambitions, and you are a perfect match for him to marry." ”
Lu Pheasant's expression changed suddenly, and then he said: "Daddy, in fact, there is already someone in Pheasant's heart. This person is Yi Gongzi. Pheasant just wants to marry him. ”
Lu Gong replied with a blow: "If you want to marry, don't marry someone else, marry Liu Bang." ”
At the same time, Lu Gong also explained with a smile that although this Liu Bang is not good-looking and has not achieved anything so far, he has won the essence of "thick black", and now he can say that Xiaochuan helped him to propose marriage. Those who are able to make use of people in this way will surely achieve great things in the future.
Lu Pheasant didn't think so, and said: "My daughter won't marry if it's not Yi Gongzi!" ”
After speaking, he ran out of Lu Gong's room in a rage.
Seeing this, Lu Gong sighed helplessly, to be honest, in his eyes, Yi Xiaochuan has a flexible head, is righteous, has a plan, and has outstanding ability, and may not be a person with great achievements in the future.
Wan Gu is mature and steady, and he can clearly feel that Wan Gu has an indescribable king temperament, which is also not simple.
He is a celebrity with sharp eyes, and it is absolutely impossible to look at people's eyes, whether it is Wan Gu or Yi Xiaochuan, both of them have an incomparably magnificent future.
It's a pity that Wangu already has a family. Yi Xiaochuan is greedy for pleasure and has no ambitions.
"Hey, the pheasant has to marry if you don't marry!" , Lu Gong secretly decided that he had decided to force his daughter Lu Pheasant to marry Liu Bang.
………………
Early the next morning, Wan Gu and Yi Xiaochuan said goodbye.
Along the way, the road was bumpy, almost all of which were mud roads, making it difficult to walk.
In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, it is already the harvest season - autumn.
On the way, the red leaves of these thousands of trees, the deeper the autumn, the more red and bright, plus the blue sky, a few snow-white clouds reflect each other, from a distance, it looks like a fire is rolling.
Wangu rode a horse, drank a little wine, took out his red dragon mobile phone, and watched a movie.
Yi Xiaochuan led Wangu's horses and walked in the front, turning his head from time to time to peek at what Wangu was doing.
"Brother Wan, what kind of mobile phone are you holding in your hand? So high-end? Finally, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't bear it anymore and asked curiously.
Ever since they left the Lu Mansion and walked towards Yandi, Wan Gu took out this red mobile phone with a large appearance and a wide screen.
This can make Yi Xiaochuan's curiosity hang, and he thinks all the time about what this mobile phone like black technology looks like, and what is the difference between it and his "antique" mobile phone.
In this regard, Wangu did not pay attention to him and continued to watch the movie on the screen.
The memory of this Red Dragon phone is huge, and coupled with the compression technology of the 'Resident Evil' world, one phone can store a thousand ultra-high definition movies.
"Brother Wan, borrow your mobile phone from me to play, please!"
"Don't borrow!"
"Brother Wan, please......"
"If you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it...... Where is all this nonsense? ”
…………
In this way, the two rushed all the way to the north.
Along the way, there were several waves of bandits, obviously all of whom wanted to come up and rob, but unfortunately, they all encountered the murderous Wangu.
These people have all been dealt with by Wangu, and there are not even corpses left.
On this day, Wangu suddenly passed by a small village, but this village was unusually quiet, deserted, and extremely strange.
It was lifeless everywhere, and there was a feeling that it had been abandoned for a long time, and even if you looked closely, there were still one or two corpses lying on the roads on both sides.
On his corpse, there were strips of black cloth hanging everywhere, not only on their bodies, but also on the roads around them, by the wells, and in front of the houses!
"It's ...... Pestilence? ”
Wan Gu was stunned for a moment, and these stenching dead people, or the signs of those strips of cloth, all told him that this was a village with a plague spreading.
"In the original book, Yi Xiaochuan experienced the plague, and it made Lu Su die in the plague, I'm afraid, it's in this small village!"
"Also, I still remember that in the original book, Yi Xiaochuan met Cui Wenzi and Gao Yao here, and I was about to find Cui Wenzi and take the elixir of life, so I lived here for a while and looked for these two people."
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a black strip of cloth flew up from the back of Wangu and hung on Wangu's shoulder.
"It's ...... Strips of cloth tainted with the plague! Wan Gu turned his head to look, ripped off the strip of cloth, and threw it on the ground.
Then, he took off his trench coat again, threw it on the ground, and didn't want it. It's not that he's afraid of the plague, it's that he doesn't want to spread the plague because of himself.
With his innate body and terrifying skills, not to mention a small plague, even if it is a terminal illness that cannot be treated in modern society, Wan Gu can recover in an instant.
Afterwards, Wan Gu called Yi Xiaochuan, bypassed this small village rampant with plague, and walked towards the restaurant in the town.
After several inquiries, Wan Gu and Yi Xiaochuan came to the most famous restaurant in the town.
It is precisely because of the high level of modern chefs that this restaurant has become famous, and it has spread throughout the town, and everyone knows about it.
"Little Er, call your cook out, and say that the old people will meet." As soon as the two of them did it, Wan Gu shouted.
He knew that Gao Yao was here, and this person was an important player in the plan, and he couldn't be missing.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately walked into the back kitchen and passed the word.
After a while, Gao Yao, with messy hair, walked out of the back kitchen. Seeing that it was really Yi Xiaochuan, he immediately rushed up excitedly, hugged Yi Xiaochuan slightly, and said incoherently: "Xiaochuan is really you, great, I finally found you." ”
Yi Xiaochuan was also extremely surprised, he didn't expect the two to meet here, hugging Gao Yao, and asking about Gao Yao's experience and situation.
