Volume 1 The Families of the Exiled Civil Officials Chapter 6 The Families of the Exiled Civil Officials 5
And here Yun Caijun sat down behind the old lady smoothly, wrapped his hand around the old lady's waist, leaned forward and lightly pressed against the old lady's back, and gently hummed an unknown tune in his mouth, his voice was low and soft, but only Mrs. Yun could hear it.
Even the Yun family brothers who were on the side, they only saw their sister as if they were appeasing the old lady.
The old lady's body gradually stopped trembling, and the intermittent screams had subsided, and the whole person relaxed a lot.
Yun Caijun took advantage of the situation to drag the old lady up and let her lean on her body, although the thirteen-year-old body was too petite, but fortunately, the old lady was not a rich physique, and it was not against the peace that the thin man was hugged by Yun Caijun.
At this time, Mrs. Yun felt that she was in the clouds, fluttering.
Then a large soft bed appeared in the clouds, and she gave herself completely to the comfortable bed, and she had not slept peacefully in a long time.
I still have the lullaby hummed by my mother when I was a child, how long have I not heard it?
Sleepiness is gradually coming, so warm, soft and safe, let's sleep.....
The old lady leaned on her granddaughter's arms very obediently and stopped struggling, and Yun Caijun raised a hand and waved to signal that it was time to leave.
Finally the team began to move forward, and from this day on, the movement of the exile team became so pleasant.
The stop-and-go did not delay the trip.
Along the way, the bison will also point out what wild fruits can be eaten, drive small animals to hit trees and stones, and they are not afraid of wild mountains, as soon as the wild beasts attack, they will all leave in ashes when they see the bison herd as bodyguards, snakes, insects, rats and ants are blocked by the medicine bag taken out by the Yun family, and they will not come in at all.
If it weren't for the fact that they knew that this line was an exiled official and their family, then anyone who saw it would think that this group was traveling in a group.
In particular, Mrs. Yun slept comfortably, and when she found that she woke up from her granddaughter's arms and was still on the back of a cow, she felt ironing and distress in her heart, and couldn't stop wiping her tears.
This granddaughter of mine is a hard-working woman, who has lived for thirteen years, and is about to leave the cabinet, but she has suffered a family change.
On the road to exile, there were great difficulties.
Although there will be blessings in the future if you don't die in a catastrophe, her granddaughter's temperament is indeed tougher than before, but I don't know what the situation will be like in the future.
Alas! What kind of good place is the land of the Southern Barbarians? Is it a good place to be a place of exile?
I am afraid that I will not be able to go back in my lifetime, and these juniors in the family are estimated to have a future in this southern barbarian land.
It's a pity that I'm a caring and beautiful granddaughter.
I couldn't help but sigh again.
Yun Caijun, who was surrounded by the old lady, heard the old lady's long sigh, and was a little confused about the old lady's brain circuit.
If she knew what the old lady was thinking, she would definitely tell the old lady that she was thinking too much! The ancestors can live anywhere, and suffering does not exist.
The mountain road is difficult to walk because it must be burdened and measured with footsteps.
A group of bison herds walked out of the mountains and dense forests before they knew it.
The verdant woods have been replaced by a plain and hilly terrain.
Nowadays, the land on the plains is fertile, passing by small villages one after another, the fields of crops and rice fields look pleasant, and there are some rolling hills with lush trees and greenery, and in the dense green you can see bunches of red and yellow fruits dotted among them, which can not help but make the mouth relish.
People who came from the north did not know these fruits at first, but after walking in the mountains and forests for so long, they have tried the fruits that can be eaten and cannot be eaten one by one, and it is natural that they know some fruits that are allowed to be eaten, and these are quite delicious fresh fruits in the local area.
A few days later, when they came to the city gate of Nanhuifu, everyone was shocked by the brick and wood wall built according to the topography.
The unique topography is simply a masterpiece of nature.
This gate is quite interesting to build.
Out of thin air, the two mountains looked at each other from afar, and a natural passage more than twenty meters wide was formed between the two mountains that extended inward, but they didn't know how long this passage was for the time being.
The brick and wood city wall seems to be embedded between the two mountains as if it were a natural formation, and in the middle is a tall and spacious city gate, and the three vigorous characters of Nanhui Mansion are suspended on the high city gate.
At this time, the city gate was wide open, and there was a team of city guards on each side of the gate, they were dressed in uniform and held military sticks, ignoring their fierce and skillful actions of collecting the entrance fee, which looked quite like a thing.
The guards at the city gate also saw this special group, a herd of more than twenty tall and sturdy cows, which was quite spectacular.
Moreover, these cattle are significantly taller, larger, and more energetic than ordinary farm cattle.
Looking at the appearance of this group of people, it is obvious that they are not local.
Perhaps out of curiosity and curiosity, or a little bit of extra money, they motioned for the team to stop.
The next step was the docking of the escorted soldiers and the city guards.
From time to time, the city guard looked curiously in the direction of the Yunxu family.
It's really strange, the officials who were exiled in previous years didn't have such good treatment!
Shackles and shackles are necessary, and from the north to the boundary of their Nanhui Mansion, the most intuitive thing is that they are all ragged and half-dead, where is such a full beard and full tail, full of vitality.
Also, all the exiles in this phase are equipped with livestock?
All of them are strong bulls, and they are all brown and black with short hair, strong bodies, two stout and powerful big curved horns on the top of their heads, proper bison.
What is rare is that this group of bison is quite docile, and at first glance it is more capable than ordinary cattle, with one head on top of two.
Seeing this, the farmers passing by next to him were all envious, and they couldn't wait to take the lead and go home.
Seeing that the situation should not be able to enter the city for a while, Yun Caijun slid off the back of the cow first as usual, and then supported the old lady to help her slide down steadily on the side.
Yun Caijun helped the old lady move her hands and feet a little, and the mica over there had already come over quickly to take over her daughter's work, so that Yun Caijun could rest for a while.
It is not easy for the girl to protect the old lady to ride a bull along the way, and the old lady only thinks that Yun Caijun sits behind her, otherwise she will be stiff or trembling.
Here, Yun Caijun motioned to the two families to put the ox cart on the bison back to their cattle, and the luggage that should be unloaded was unloaded, and the eighteen bison were smooth and smooth again.
Yun Caijun came to Touniu, and rested his hand on Touniu's horns, his lips moved slightly, while Touniu nodded and shook his head from time to time.
It's as if this person is making the final delivery.
Yun Caijun put down her hand and took a step back, just now she reached an agreement with Touniu, let Touniu take the herd back to the mountains first, and then go to find them when her family needs them in the future, and Touniu readily agreed.
Then the people saw the oxen leading the way, and the herd of bison followed the direction in which the oxen had come and gone, and disappeared at a short bend.
The peasants who waited in vain to enter the city sighed incessantly, and those big guys were just released into the mountains and forests.
The Yunxu family packed their luggage and put it on the ox cart for their cattle to pull up.
The two families have developed a deep relationship through mutual support along the way, and the parents of the two families stand together and discuss the future arrangements in a whisper.
This line of work is said to be exile, but in the end it did not make them hard labor or conscription, but made them move their families in disguise.
However, looking around at the mental outlook of the ordinary people who were queuing up to enter the city, the hearts of both families couldn't help but sink.
These natives, both men and women, were dark and thin;
The clothes are all the uniform style of their village, the women are all shirts and skirts, indigo thick linen, embroidered with exquisite patterns on the placket and cuffs, and the hair is coiled and scattered, depending on their age, it is estimated that the difference between married and unmarried;
The men's clothing is simpler, and the upper and lower pants are also indigo linen, except for the difference between the old and the new, it looks quite neat.
Both men and women carry a basket on their backs or a pair of frames, which are made of bamboo, and the frames contain many mushrooms, medicinal herbs, or other home-grown vegetables and eggs for exchange.
The pair of eyes on the dark face are particularly bright when they look at it.
Looking at this group of outsiders, their eyes revealed curiosity, but curiosity is curiosity, in the end, their own life is more important, most of them hurriedly paid the entrance fee and went to the city.
After the soldiers explained the situation to the city guards and showed their vouchers, the city guards divided two people and beckoned the two families to follow, and took them to the government office, and the escorted soldiers also followed, so they had to rest for two days anyway.
In order to take root in this Nanban, there are some procedures that must be followed.
The household registration must be handled, the location of the settlement must be determined, and what kind of livelihood you want to do in the future must also be carefully considered......
There's only a lot to worry about after that.
The establishment of a capital city in Nanban was a matter of the previous dynasty, and it has only been a few decades now.
Ox carts weave through this not-so-old city, and a fairly spacious bluestone road winds its way through the undulating road.
The houses on both sides of the road are very well planned.
There are so many things to do when I first arrive in Baodi that I don't have the time and energy to visit this Nanhuifu City.
The city guards of this mansion city were quite enthusiastic and guided them to the journey to the mansion, and the city guards surnamed Li gave a rough introduction to the general situation of Nanhui Mansion.
This gave the two families a general understanding of this city.
The topography of Nanhui Province is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, with mountains and seas at its back.
The north is a hilly and mountainous area with concentrated forests, the northeast is a low and medium mountain, known as Bailu Mountain by the locals, the central part is a hilly basin, and the south is a coastal area and a large plain.
The climate is warm and rainy, with long summers and short winters.
And there are many large and small rivers in the whole Nanhui Province, forming a very unique water town scenery.
In particular, the Huijiang River, which runs through Fucheng, is extremely wide, and this Huijiang River brings together large and small rivers, so the shipping on the Nanhui side is quite developed, that is, because they are exiled, otherwise they start to take a boat from entering the territory of Nanban, and go down the river with peace of mind and effort.
Li Chengwei has been copying the local vernacular, and the Yunxu family has come from the northern capital, and they basically hear it in the clouds.
