Chapter 351: Five Years
"It turns out that this is the thing, you told me before that your home is from Shanxi...... Okay, tomorrow you can go with Uncle Zhong and them. www.biquge.info"What is the big deal with Fang Hong, it turns out that this is it, he has no shortage of people to serve, since Li Jinan wants to go home, let's go together."
"Thank you, sir. Li Jinan showed joy on his face, and kowtowed to Fang Hong vigorously, he originally thought that Fang Hong would not agree, and he was worried for a long time.
"By the way, Jin An, you go to the lieutenant and ask him to sell me two good horses, and you keep the rest of the money as travel expenses. Fang Hong turned around and took out a money bag in the house, stretched out his hand and threw it to Li Jinan. The bag is precipitated, and it is slightly padded by hand, about 100 taels.
"Young Master, this is too much. "According to the market price, the price of a horse is about fifteen taels, and if you buy a better one, it will not exceed twenty taels, and the remaining silver money is more than sixty taels. With such a large sum of money, ordinary people have to earn it for more than ten years to earn it back.
"Not much, you deserve it, go ahead. Fang Hong waved his hand, he is not short of money now, last time he got five thousand taels from the medicine merchant's house in Jinling City, as well as his Fang family's various shops, the annual profit is also one thousand taels, he has a lot of money under his hands now, not as embarrassed as before.
Li Jinan answered, and quickly went out to find Lizheng. Rich and easy to do, the lieutenant specially selected two good horses with stocky bodies. Fang Hong wanted this horse to pull the cart, not for riding, there was not much requirement for speed, endurance and strength were the key.
Early the next morning, Li Jinan and Uncle Zhong packed their luggage. The two horses also got into the cart and stopped at the junction at the head of the village.
"Then young master, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to see you when I'm free. Li Jinan stood next to the carriage and kept scratching his head as he spoke.
"You don't have to come back, you have a good life at home. It's not peaceful out there, and it's not safe for you to be alone. Fang Hong waved his hand, Jiangxi and Shanxi are separated by a long distance, and they have to walk back and forth for a month. In addition, there are many bandits in various places, so it is really not suitable to go out and walk around.
Li Jinan didn't speak, but he was still very grateful to Fang Hong in his heart. Although at the beginning, he was beaten by him. But after a long time, you will find that the master is cold-faced and hot-hearted, if you have something to tell him, he will definitely understand you. It is also a blessing for a subordinate to meet such a master.
"Hurry up, don't delay on the way. Fang Hong patted Li Jin'an on the shoulder, Li Jinan nodded vigorously, and then climbed into the carriage.
And Uncle Zhong and Old Ghost Du had already gotten into the car, and Fang Hong arched his hand towards the two of them and said "cherish".
"Drive. As soon as Uncle Zhong flicked his whip, the two horses walked side by side, and the carriage jolted for a while, and then slowly moved forward along the official road.
Fang Hong stood at the intersection for a short while, and only when the carriage was far away did he slowly return to the courtyard.
......
Li Jinan is gone, Uncle Zhong and Old Ghost Du are also gone, but life will still go on. Fang Hong didn't feel uncomfortable just because there was no one in the courtyard, because all his mind was on refining the Gongjiang River.
In order to increase the speed of refining Gongjiang, he almost every ten days, he had to go to Gongjiang to show some spiritual powers. In this way, some legends of the Gongjiang River God began to circulate in the vicinity of this place, and even some people began to worship the river god.
However, he is also trying his best to control the influence of the Gongjiang River God, so as not to worship too many people. As soon as there are too many worshippers, he has to ascend to the throne immediately. And if his own foundation is not solid, it will be easy to have problems. So, it has to be done gradually.
In the blink of an eye, it was five years.
"Grandpa, tell me the story of the river god. "On the Gong River, there is a small fishing boat, floating on the water. At the bow sat a very thin child with slightly darkened skin, while on the other side was an old man with a hat on his head.
"You kid, didn't you tell you several times, why do you still have to listen? The old man laughed, hammered his waist hard, and said helplessly.
"I just want to hear it. "Children are always full of fantasies, and the stories of the river god are like a hook that can draw all his attention.
"Okay, today, I'll tell you a story about the river god's punishment of the wicked. The old man couldn't grind his grandson, and after driving a few ospreys into the water, he began to talk slowly.
"By the way, in this Li Jiazhuang, there is a very bad outsider named Li Dafu. This Li is rich, his family is very rich, he can eat white flour steamed buns and large pieces of pork at every meal, and his life is really comfortable. When he said this, the child couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he can only eat a little white flour steamed bun during the New Year, and there will be some coarse grain noodles mixed with it, but the taste is already unforgettable. There is also pork, he remembers eating a piece of oily fat a few years ago, biting into his mouth, he was reluctant to swallow it for a long time. This Li Dafu can eat steamed buns and meat every day, and that life is unimaginable.
"But ah, although this Li Dafu is rich, he has a very bad heart, he often bullies men and women, and runs rampant in the township, if any girl is good-looking, he will snatch people home. The old man looked at the saliva on the corner of his grandson's mouth, felt funny in his heart, and continued to talk.
"After those girls were snatched back, would they be able to eat white flour steamed buns and large pieces of pork every day? The child's mind was still stuck on the first half of the sentence.
"This ...... Probably. The old man was a little asked, this story was made up by him, how did he know if he ate meat every day, he could only say perfunctorily.
"Then I'm going to be robbed back, and one day a wicked person will rob me. The child wiped his mouth vigorously and said with a serious face.
"That wicked outside, it's bad for children, I will whip you at every turn, and I will go down with a whip, and keep your skin and flesh, and you won't be able to get out of bed for several days. When the old man heard his grandson's words, he felt speechless, and immediately said in fright.
Now, the child didn't dare to squeak. And he secretly compared in his heart, if he can eat meat every day, but he has to be beaten often, is it worth it?
"One day, this Li Dafu passed by the Gongjiang River by boat. And in this Gongjiang, there lives a river god, and the river god has long heard that this Li Dafu is rich and unkind, and is rampant in lawless things. Therefore, the river god immediately summoned a strong wind to blow Li Dafu's boat over......" The old man was talking about the excitement, and the child listened attentively, when all of a sudden, the whole boat swayed, and a wave crashed over.
The two of them were immediately alarmed, and immediately looked up into the distance, the wind was blowing?
