Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Three: Wang Goudan's Thoughts
After the Ji family arrived, they set up camp around, the surrounding environment was safe, there were no forests, and the surrounding scenery could be seen.
Thanks to such terrain, the Ji family can clearly see the guarding situation at the pass.
Perhaps because of the recent influx of displaced people, there are quite a large number of soldiers on duty around, and they are very closely guarded during the exchange of shifts.
Li Jiang was very happy to see this, when he came here with the dart bureau before, there were no natural or man-made disasters in the surrounding villages and counties at that time, so the defense was not so tight.
Now that something has happened, the protection is so impermeable, if they don't have money, most of them won't be able to get in.
Li Jiang was glad in his heart, and told Ji Liangqing about it, Ji Liangqing nodded, turned his head and went to find Mrs. Ji again.
Mrs. Ji had been thinking about the matter of entering the city for a long time, but her wealth was not exposed, and if she took out the small bag containing gold leaves directly, she was afraid of causing trouble.
So Mrs. Ji took out a small cloth bag and filled it with about seven or eight gold leaves, estimating that it should be enough silver to pass through the pass.
This gold leaf is very delicate, it looks very pocket-sized and exquisite, and it looks like it is used to reward people.
Mrs. Ji handed the cloth bag to Ji Liangqing and asked him to keep it, and then took the cloth bag to the officers and soldiers.
Ji Liangqing put away the cloth bag and put it close to him.
Everything was ready, and everyone had a secret excitement in their hearts.
As long as they pass through this pass, they will not have to worry about encountering displaced people.
The people who can pass through the pass are all people with some family backgrounds, so there is no need to worry about meeting villagers who are robbing food again.
And being able to pass through the pass shows that it is getting closer and closer to Jiangnan.
Everyone who was excited didn't sleep very well all night, and when it was dawn the next day, Ji Liangqing got up.
I thought I was up early enough, but I didn't expect Wang Goudan to be sitting not far away, and it looked like he had been sitting there for a long time.
Ji Liangqing understood what Wang Goudan was thinking in his heart, a little smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and patted Wang Goudan on the shoulder.
Wang Goudan was caught off guard and was patted on the shoulder, he was startled, and when he saw that it was Ji Liangqing, he was visibly relieved:
"Captain, you suddenly appeared behind me, and you scared me to death."
Ji Liangqing looked at him unexpectedly, although he didn't speak, his expression was clearly saying that there was something to be afraid of.
Wang Goudan said with a little amusement: "This wilderness, it's not completely dawn now, who knows...... "Who knows if it's something unclean."
Ji Liangqing didn't expect him to say this, and he laughed for a while.
He shook his head, and instead of continuing around the topic, he asked:
"What are you thinking about when you get up so early?"
It's not dawn now, and they arrived late last night, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't get up so early to .......
Could it be that he was also excited about the imminent entry into the gate?
"It's not." Wang Goudan shook his head, and said to himself:
"Captain, I'm just thinking, I don't know anything, I thought it would be good to go to Jiangnan, but now I don't know what I should do when I go to Jiangnan......"
Wang Goudan stared at the ground as if in a daze, and said this sentence to himself.
After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he looked up at Ji Liangqing again and said with a firm gaze:
"Captain, I'll follow you when I get to Jiangnan, okay?"
"I have no merit as a man, but I have great strength, and if you need to make wine, I will do it for you, and I will give you a stutter without asking for money."
It's not easy to survive this kind of troubled times, not to mention that now it's in a place where you don't know your life.
He used to be interested in eating, drinking, and having fun, but he didn't have any skills, and he didn't know how to support himself when he went to a strange place.
Only by following Ji Liangqing can Wang Goudan's heart be more stable.
Ji Liangqing looked at Wang Goudan's firm eyes, with a slight smile in his eyes.
When he was in Niutou Village before, he had a very bad sense of Wang Goudan, but after this escape, it was obvious that Wang Goudan had changed more and more.
The incident where he led away the robbers alone before made Ji Liangqing even more impressed with him.
In addition, when he experienced the betrayal of Niutou Village, Wang Goudan was unswervingly on their side, which made Ji Liangqing treat him as a family from the bottom of his heart.
Supporting each other along the way, everyone is desperately living.
It's about to go to Jiangnan, and they have enough money to support them to start again, and there is no problem in accepting Wang Goudan and Li Jiang.
He was still wondering in his heart what to do after Wang Goudan went to Jiangnan, but he didn't expect that now Wang Goudan took the initiative to mention it.
Ji Liangqing patted Wang Goudan on the shoulder, and said with a smile in the other party's anxious eyes:
"Absolutely! Very welcome. It's just that the salary still has to be paid, after all, you still have to save money to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
When Wang Goudan joked on the road, he didn't say much about marrying his daughter-in-law, so Ji Liangqing remembered it very clearly, and now he took it out to tease him.
When Wang Goudan heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he was speechless.
Since he was a child, he had no father or mother, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals.
Seeing other children have fathers and mothers, I am envious, and I am dreaming that I can have a home of my own one day.
Hearing the captain think about himself like this, he was shy and moved, and for a while he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't speak.
After relieving himself, he could only say: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to do things when the time comes, and I will definitely not cause you trouble." ”
He looked serious and swore silently in his heart.
I must do a good job for the Ji family in order to repay their family's kindness.
Ji Liangqing nodded with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't pretend to have so many things in your heart, I thought that you and I were about to cross the pass and couldn't sleep because of excitement." ”
The two then began to talk, the language was full of yearning and expectations for the future, Wang Goudan couldn't help but leave all the bad thoughts in his heart behind, and wholeheartedly became positive.
The two of them packed up their things as they talked, and when Mrs. Ji and the others got up, the things under were all packed up.
"Why did you get up so early?"
Mrs. Ji slept lightly, but she also slept until now, looking at the clean ground, she also understood that it would take a certain amount of time to clean up.
Now that the ground is clean, it can only prove that it was done by the two people in front of you.
"Can't sleep." Ji Liangqing replied and didn't say anything about Wang Goudan.
Mrs. Ji nodded and didn't say anything, then looked at the pass not far away and said:
"It's not too early now, let's eat some dry food and go over."
