Chapter 83, Xi Shi

There is no moonlight tonight, but in the sky, the stars are shining and shining, especially bright, like a small lantern hanging low in the night, very close to the earth.

Looking down from the sky, the lights of thousands of homes in Yunshan City are swaying, and each one seems to correspond to a star in the sky.

Behind the dimly lit windows, there was a lot of noise and noise...... There are all kinds of joys and sorrows, they are like the jumping lights, small and weak, but tenacious, resisting and eroding the darkness of the boundless night.

Yes, after the Tiefutu army's 'false alarm', Yunshan City has returned to normal, whether it is General Xuantong or the righteous army, how to fight with the official army, how to command the city, this has nothing to do with the people below, the life of the people at the bottom should still be lived.

The small courtyard rented by the Fang family.

In the courtyard, a bonfire was lit.

Next to it, Fang Rui was grilling meat, with a large number of meat, beef, beef offal, etc., as well as condiments such as oil, salt, cumin, etc.

Zilala!

The kebabs overflowed with golden hot oil, and one or two drops fell on the bonfire, crackling, but instead exuding an even more enticing aroma that made people swallow wildly.

"Brother, is the barbecue ready? I want to eat! ”

"I want to eat it too!"

Fang Ling and Nan Nan, the two little girls, came over with firewood, looked at the golden skewers, and swallowed their saliva.

Several large dogs were also nearby, with stiff eyes, wide open mouths, and wild tails.

"Don't rush, right away."

Fang Rui smiled, and said to Fang Ling and Nannan: "You go to the kitchen to have a look, are you okay with the buns?" Call your mother and three sisters to come and eat together, and by the way, you also wash your hands. ”

"Oooh!"

Fang Ling and Nan Nan, the two little girls, heard this, and hurriedly trotted around and went: "Mother......"

In the kitchen.

In the cauldron, the wild vegetable and tofu soup is bubbling and tumbling, bubbling with aroma, the steamer next to it has just opened, steaming, fragrant, white and soft buns have just come out of the oven, and Fang Xue's and Sanniangzi are filling the pot.

"It's coming!"

Waiting for Fang Xue to carry a large pot of buns and put them on the stone table, the three ladies came over with a cloth wrapped in hot rice wine with both hands, plus the two little girls Fang Ling and Nan Nan who had washed their hands, and the family was complete.

"Brother Rui, there is tofu soup in the pot......"

"Mother, that's not in a hurry, let's talk about it after eating for a while! Okay, let's all come and sit! ”

Fang Rui put a large handful of barbecue meat on the plate, and the rich aroma of various foods intertwined, turning into huge white smoke and rising.

And so the dinner began.

"Wow, brother, your kebab is delicious!"

"It's delicious."

Fang Ling and Nan Nan, the two little girls, were full of oil, with a pair of big dark eyes, shining as bright as the stars in the sky.

Several large dogs lay beside them, sniffing anxiously left and right around them, and the intention of flattering them was not too obvious.

But the two little girls who were the most generous to them in the past seem to be 'stingy' today, but they dislike them for getting in the way, and with a flick of their little hands, they pressed them aside, and they didn't dare to resist, so they could only make a 'woo-woo' aggrieved sound.

- In the past, it was generous, it was something else, but it was meat...... Two little girls, from childhood to adulthood, have never eaten too many miles! I am reluctant to give them meat, and I dare not feed them meat, otherwise, I will definitely be scolded.

Several big dogs had to change places, and when they arrived at Fang Rui, they were appeased by a large piece of roasted beef bones, but just like this, it made Fang Xue's heart feel very distressed.

"Beef bones can also be used to make soup! Forget it, it's not too much waste to give them...... Well, this barbecue is good. Fang Xue's eyebrows curled and praised.

"Let Brother Rui cook...... the third lady also liked it very much, and stuck out her tongue coquettishly, a little embarrassed.

"What's this? We are small, so we don't have to pay attention to those. ”

Fang Rui shook his head and smiled, put a bun in his mouth, took another handful of meat skewers, brushed them with seasonings, and continued to barbecue.

He was also in a good mood: 'The first two days I was out, I didn't hunt a lot of good things, but I didn't taste like this, and I could only fill my stomach. Nowadays, when a family is together, it is really a good place to enjoy food! ’

Eat and talk.

Fang Rui said his plan, continued to hurry, and completely left the three southern states of the great drought and chaos.

Of course, it has not yet been determined, this is to solicit the opinions of Fang Xue and Sanniangzi.

"In terms of money, it is enough; Bitter, not afraid. It's just ......" The third lady looked at Fang Xue's family.

Fang Xue was silent for a moment, and sure enough, he asked: "Brother Rui, let's go, what about your father's grave?" During the New Year's holidays, there is not even a person who burns paper money......"

"This,"

Fang Rui smiled bitterly, Fang Baicao's body naturally couldn't be taken away together: "Probably, I can only find someone to take care of it and burn some paper money during the New Year's holidays." ”

Fang Xue was silent for a while before he spoke: "It's okay, so be it!" ”

"Your dad is already ...... Those who live must continue to live. If your father is here, he naturally wants to see us better. ”

She had no opinion on her side.

"Third sister?" Fang Rui looked at the third lady.

"Listen to you."

The three ladies only have these three words.

Even if they knew that this promise was a long journey, and they had to endure no matter how much hardship, they all believed in him and did not hesitate.

"Then it's decided, our family will leave the three states in the south." Fang Rui made up his mind, feeling that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.

'In this era, it is still quite dangerous to hurry, all kinds of lesions, water and soil are not adapted, and an accident is gone, of course, with my medical skills, I can take care of my mother and three sisters, and I don't have to worry about too many problems. ’

This is just the most basic, and more planning is needed, and it is impossible to pat your ass and go.

It's not as easy as you think, but it's not as difficult as you think if you have money and force.

"The Jiang caravan is a line, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, through the connections of the Jiang caravan, you should be able to get a lot of help, I hope it won't be too troublesome...... Fang Rui thought secretly.

"Let's go find Jiang Gongzi later!" ’

He shook his head, no longer thinking about this, and focused on what was in front of him: "Come, mother, third sister, Nannan, Ling'er, these are also baked, eat them while they are hot!" ”

……

After dinner, Fang Rui went straight to a courtyard not far away to look for Jiang Yan.

After the map, he and Jiang Yan were also acquaintances, and now, when they meet again, they no longer need Steward Chen as an intermediary.

"Young Master Fang is leaving the three states in the southern border?"

Jiang Yan definitely doesn't have a map of other states, but for people like him, the approximate location relationship between the states in Dayu is still clear: "The three states in the south of this drought, including our Yunzhou, are located in the southwest of Dayu, and Fang Gongzi doesn't want to stay in the three states of Yun, Lin, and Yue, and there are neighboring states such as Wu, Yi, and Kang, I don't know which state I want to go to?" ”

"This ...... There are no plans for the time being. Look at the caravan situation, as long as you leave the three southern states, it's fine. ”

Fang Rui just wants to leave the three states in the south, as for where he is going, it is still uncertain, as long as there is no major drought or war, it can make his family live a stable life.

If you are really not satisfied, when the time comes, you will move again, and the world is so big, I don't believe it, there is no real relative stability. He thought to himself.

"It's more convenient that way."

Jiang Yan bowed slightly: "By the way, General Xuantong sent troops to the city, and the Daze Mansion will be in chaos, and the caravan will not go to the city of Daze Mansion as originally planned, but will go to the city of Lanyang Mansion next door." ”

"Do you want Fang Gongzi to go along? Lanyang Mansion City should be more stable, and when you arrive at Lanyang Mansion City, you can contact the caravan going to the state city for Fang Gongzi, and then make a transfer. ”

"Okay, that's trouble."

Fang Rui came to visit, he already had this meaning, so he naturally would not refuse.

"Then it's decided."

Jiang Yan was also happy, with a master like Fang Rui joining, the safety of the caravan was greatly improved: "Because it is a diversion to Lanyang Mansion, I have to make some other preparations and purchase ...... There will be a delay of a few days. If Fang Gongzi is not in a hurry, he can wait for two days. ”

"Okay."

Fang Rui also happened to have some things to prepare.

Moreover, as soon as Tiefutu died, the siege of Yunshan City had been lifted, and in this regard, there was really no need to worry.

……

The next few days.

Fang Rui also made some preparations and purchased materials; took Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan to sweep Fang Baicao's tomb every day; Arrange people to burn paper during the New Year's holidays......

He also entrusted a caravan and sent a letter to Jiang Ping'an in Changshan City.

If it is really as Fang Rui guessed, the three states in the south are a huge killing situation, then, I am afraid that there will be some entanglement in the future, in the letter, he provided Jiang Ping'an with several ideas.

Of course, it is just an idea, there is no specific guidance, and the other party is allowed to choose independently.

A few days later.

In the newborn rising sun, Fang Rui's family followed the Jiang family's caravan and left Yunshan City.

Squeak!

Fang Rui turned his head and looked at the outline of Yunshan City in the distance in the golden light, and suddenly felt a sense of incompleteness in his heart: "Li Xuantong, and the ruthless man of the righteous army, the grievances have not yet been settled, and they haven't even been able to see each other!" ’

However, nine times out of ten, life is not as good as it should be, and there is no need to pursue perfection too much. ’

He shook his head, and a strange premonition suddenly arose in his heart: 'For some reason, I suddenly have a feeling that there may be a chance to see these two again in the future. ’

……

Coincidentally, at noon on the day Fang Rui and the Jiang caravan left, the news of Li Xuantong's attack on Daze Mansion City came back, spreading throughout the city, causing a great sensation.

"That is, the landslide a few days ago wiped out the Tiefutu army and damaged the elite military strength in the mansion, otherwise, how could it be so easy?" Someone can see it.

"Yes, people are coming here, and they can't stop it. General Xuantong's luck is even more unsaid! The other bowed his head, deeply convinced.

"Wait and see, as soon as the city is broken, the other counties should look at the wind."

"It seems that Li Xuantong is really going to succeed." This is Dayu's spy, and his voice is extremely low.

"Well, look what it says! These people are right, and they blame the landslide, otherwise why is it so? ”

……

Fang Rui is no longer there, but there are still legends about him here.

……

Tiger Leaping Gorge.

"Roar!"

Shaking the heavens and roaring.

A tiger with wings on its back and a white moon pattern pounced on the caravan, opened its mouth and breathed a vicious wind, which blew the eyes of a large number of guards into tears, and the horses in front were pounced down, and their claws were disemboweled.

"It's not good, it's a strange beast winged tiger!"

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

"The others stand down, and the guards come with me!"

……

After a rush of bows and arrows, the guards of the entry followed with knives, but they were all swept away by the winged tigers.

"Hold on! Hold on a little longer! ”

Steward Chen greeted while turning his head and shouting: "Go and ask Gongzi Fang to come out!" ”

"No, I'm here!"

Fang Rui's body moved, and he came quickly with a knife, he was quite speechless in his heart, obviously a very normal sentence, why was this person shouting out the taste of 'Go and invite the Buddha'?

Swish!

He brought out an afterimage, staggered with the winged tiger, a knife came out, life and death were divided, and the huge tiger's head rolled off with a click.

"It's troublesome for Fang Gongzi again!"

Jiang Yan personally came forward to thank him and gave a guarantee: "These exotic beast meats, just like before, will be purchased by the caravan at a high price, and Fang Gongzi can also be exchanged for medicinal materials of the previous year and exchanged for ......."

This is not the first time that because of the wars in various provinces, soldiers have passed everywhere, strange beasts have been frightened and jumped, and the dangers along the way are also increasing.

"Small things, Jiang Gongzi can handle them as usual, I'll go back." Fang Rui waved his hand and turned straight away.

Just now, the story was about to reach the climax, but it came to an abrupt end, and it was too late to go back, and the two little girls were going to have opinions again.

After Fang Rui left, the caravan went up and down, and there was a sound of awe-inspiring discussion.

"See? It's that Fang Gongzi, a super master! ”

The man's voice was full of excitement, and his tone was full of adoration: "The strange beasts I have encountered so far, whether it is the winged tiger just now, or the previous one, have never made a move in that person's hand......"

"Yes, this is the first strange beast to die in that hand, didn't you just behead a cloud leopard a few days ago?" The other muttered.

"That's it! Come on! ”

An old guard reprimanded: "With a master like Fang Gongzi accompanying the team, you little rabbit cubs, just steal the fun!" ”

"Isn't it? In the past, when a merchant encountered a strange beast, he would not die a dozen or so people! ”

……

Under Fang Rui's escort, most of the months later, the Jiang clan came to Lanyang Mansion City without danger.

When they arrived here, Jiang Yan contacted the caravan to go to the state city for the Fang family, and Fang Rui's family continued to hurry.

Oh, before parting, Fang Rui gave Jiang Yan a jade pendant as a souvenir in order to thank Jiang Yan for his love for the map at the beginning and for all kinds of care these days.

Jiang Yan accepted it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, with this farewell, it will probably be difficult to reunite with Fang Rui in this life.

Go home.

Jiang Yan played with this jade pendant, and was seen by a concubine and asked what it was.

"A memento left by a strange man."

He smiled, and directly shook his hand and gave this jade pendant to the little concubine: "Since you saw it, I gave it to you, and promised you this fate." ”

Lang Jun ...... "This little concubine has to talk about it again."

Jiang Yan waved his hand open-mindedly: "If you say it's for you, then you will give it, no need to say more." ”

"Yes, Lang Jun."

This little concubine was overjoyed: "I let the child hang, my vein, passed down from generation to generation......"

At this time, neither Jiang Yan nor this concubine knew that this period of fate was something more precious than all the wealth of the entire Jiang family combined.

Because, this section of the relationship is called 'fairy fate'.

……

Changshan County.

Ga! Ga! Ga!

The geese flew by, the autumn wind was bleak, and the chrysanthemums fell all over the ground.

Jiang Ping'an stood in front of the window and opened the letter sent by Fang Rui: 'Farewell for half a month, I don't know if Brother Jiang is okay?' Seeing words is like faces, and showing letters is like meeting ......'

In the letter, Fang Rui wrote about himself, his father Fang Baicao; to leave the three southern states; Finally, a subtle reminder and suggestion......

"Brother Fang, this is ...... It's completely gone! ”

Jiang Ping'an stood for a long time, poured a bowl of wine, and sprinkled it in the direction of Yunshan City.

"Dad, why are you crying?"

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

At this time, Niu Dun and Xiao Bean Sprouts jumped over.

"The wind is blind."

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and smiled, leaned over and picked a few chrysanthemums, put them on his heads for the two children, pulled one in one hand, and turned around and walked towards the house: "In two days, I will take you, as well as your mother, to live in the countryside for a year or two with your grandmother, okay?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

The two little ones nodded their heads hard, and there was a red line on each neck, which was the jade pendant that Fang Rui gave before leaving.

……

On the horizon, a red sun sets, the light also dims, and the night gradually falls, like a curtain opening and closing on the stage.

Ga! Ga! Ga!

In the distance, the end of the world where the geese flew away, there are mountains outside the mountains, towering and towering; There is a river outside the river, and the sky flows.

Of course, there are also many stories that are beginning.
