Chapter 165: Encountering the Dead in the New City

Thanks to the old immortal master's generous stroke, three days after the ferry, he saw the Wumeng Mountain on the border of the two continents from afar, Chen Jing spread out the map and compared it, calculated it in his heart, and sent a ride, let alone three thousand miles, and the atmosphere was realistic.

The ferry went north along the east side of Wumeng Mountain, and after entering the sea, it was where the Duanyue Gorge was located, but unfortunately Chen Jing and Cui Ying failed to enter the Jindan realm and could not go down from the sky.

The ferry steward did not dare to offend the full boat passengers, and made an exception for the two of them to dock at the coast alone.

That old immortal master's fairy technique is indeed extraordinary, but the two of you also have a conversation with the fairy, to say that it is ugly, it is to scold each other in the air, whether the relationship between the two of you is good or bad, it really makes outsiders scratch their heads.

Besides, when you get off the ferry, it's not certain whether you can see each other again, and it's not worth it to be courteous for the boat fee of one person and one rain.

Broken Yue Gorge was close in front of them, and Chen Jing and Cui Ying had to watch, full of helplessness.

"Our body is not ordinarily strong, why don't we just jump into the sea and go ashore?"

Cui Ying made an unobtrusive suggestion, Chen Jing thought about it, and jumped down from a height of hundreds of zhang, even if he fell into the sea, his body was like two people, and he would end up with broken bones.

Chen Jing didn't think of using other methods, stepping on the sword and falling like a ladder, which is a feasible method, but this can only be used by herself, Cui Niu can't take care of it, in case her reckless strength comes up, regardless of "smashing" down, she has to hold her step by step on the road behind.

Chen Jing recalled the jade pendant given by Zhao Fuhua, and Liang gave it to the ferry manager, hoping that this person would know the goods and make it convenient for him.

The steward's eyes lit up, the jade pendant was held in his hand and looked left and right, and after raising his head, the corner of his mouth sneered: "The Zhao family of the Yuhe Dynasty is enshrined, hehe, on the side of our Jinou Dynasty, it is not easy to use." ”

It turned out that the two countries partnered to deal with the Guanyu Dynasty, and the two sides couldn't see each other in private, and their feelings were inseparable.

In this way, Chen Jing looked at the Broken Yue Gorge that was getting farther and farther away, and sighed helplessly, so he had to use a moment of urgency to chat for comfort.

Entering the north of Nanyuzhou, because of the "national break", there is no taboo of mountains and rivers, all the way to the northeast border, compared to the Yujinzhou side, the ferry flies a lot faster.

Overlooking the earth, the closer to the east is to the Broken Yue Gorge, the more generally dry up, and there are few green places moistened by springs, beyond the boundary of the Lixu land, it is a barren Gobi.

Chen Jing vaguely distinguishes a spring on the ground, the amount of water is pitiful, and no one lives around it, so it is estimated that it can only supply some beasts and feathered birds.

This reminds Chen Jing of the past, in the last two or three years in his hometown, it is almost like this, not much better than this situation, the last spring, seeing the water flow less and less day by day, worrying, powerless, and frightened, will you still be able to drink water tomorrow? If the spring dries up, how many days can the water in the tank last?

The young man has worked hard, struggled, survived, humble as an ant, just to live, and when everyone in the village died, the hardship was still not good, and the young man had the mind to kill himself.

God didn't intend to let go of the poor ant after all, and the boy finally looked up at the sky full of fire and rain, thinking to himself, it was his turn, and finally it was his turn.

After all, I still have to die, I am too tired to live, it is good to die, I don't have to work hard anymore, I cried when I saw my father and mother, told the pain of lovesickness, and I could scold God a few words.

Fortunately, when he was a young man, he met his master, and he was able to get out of the land of suffering.

"Miss your father again?" Cui Ying walked over and saw Xiaojing's sad expression, knowing that he would only be like this when he remembered the past.

Chen Jing smiled far-fetched and said: "You have to worry about it before you can be happy." ”

Cui Ying leaned against the railing of the boat, and said with a sad face: "Let's live well, we should be happy, we should be happy, we should be happy, there is no need to bury in the past and not come out, my father and mother know that you are like this, and they will scold you for not sparing happiness." ”

Chen Jing shook his head and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it, and they can't twist it." People live, both public and private, and they must have a thought. ”

After speaking, he went to the cabin and left Cui Ying to blow the wind on the bow of the ship.

Cui Ying was alone at the bow of the boat shaking her head, Xiao Jing thought about what it was, she could probably guess the eyebrows, but it was too far away, as a brother, she would definitely help at that time, and it would be counted as her own.

As for himself, he plans to live his whole life in a daze, provided that he has a lot of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, which is in line with Lao Tzu's temperament of wandering the rivers and lakes.

The ferry traveled for 12 days and finally came to the Wangxiangtai ferry.

Compared with a few years ago, that is, before the natural disaster, today's Wangxiangtai ferry is worthy of its name, looking at it on three sides, it is the "homeland", there is no way, and now in the north of Nanyuzhou, whether it is restored or established, there is only a country of Mengji here.

The land of Meng Jiguo is only a thousand miles in radius, and the national capital travels to Fengcheng, following the conventions of conformism, close to the ferry, and it is only twenty miles after getting off the ferry, and you can enter the city.

When the ferry flew to the head of the city of Youfeng City, everyone witnessed the true face proudly, many places in the city are building civil works, most of them are inconspicuous corner fortifications, most of the palace and the fang market have been built, the main post road is almost complete, and the whole city is waiting for the end to be rebuilt.

Chen Jing saw that there were immortals who drove giant beasts to ram earth and dig mud, and he thought that because of this, the capital of a country would be completed in the world in just three or four months.

Waiting for the ferry, the three of them and one small tacitly moved forward, all planning to go to the new city to take a look, on the way Chen Jing casually asked where Daochang Tong would go next, he didn't care about the grandfather and grandson to make a drag oil bottle, just don't drag it back.

Tong Dao Chang smiled and said, "Poor Dao plans to go back and forth a few times here in the north of Nanyu Continent to see if he can find his granddaughter's whereabouts." ”

Cui Ying asked Xiao Zhu'er, who was holding Daoist Tong's finger and hurried, "I'll say more, what method is Daochang planning to use to find his granddaughter?" It's not like you just ask when you see someone, right? ”

Daoist Tong shook his head, pointed to the city wall in front of him and said: "Regardless of the old city of the new city, but there are more mortals, there must be human teeth, and some unsophisticated imperial courts even encourage this move."

As long as the poor road gives some silver to those who see the money, and tells them what the poor road's granddaughter looks like, whether there is it or not, and the poor road sits and waits for the news. If there is really no tooth, other people in other industries can open a way with them with money, and the door is not worried, and there is naturally no shortage of news.

This is faster than the announcement of the list, and it can also put an end to some scoundrels who want to raise the price. ”

Tong Daochang grabbed the pole with one hand, and sighed on the ground twice with a pestle: "Poor Dao went out of the house back then, he was not young, but in fact, he was not deeply involved in the world, he suffered a few times, and after planting a few heels, he had little family wealth left, and he was forced to be helpless. ”

After saying that, he was roughly suffering, seeing that the man and woman did not move, Daochang Tong deliberately coughed a few times, but there was no movement? Again! This time, I can't wait to cough up my heart, liver and lungs.

Chen Jing finally comprehended the true meaning of Daoist Tong's words, and after crying and laughing, he had to take out some broken silver and hand it over, "Daoist Tong is looking for relatives alone, I don't know tens of thousands of miles, I admire it, even if I take some money, I can't shirk it." ”

Cui Ying looked at the two of them left and right, and then she knew what Daoist Tong meant by those words, and took out a handful of broken silver and stuffed it into Daoist Tong's hand, and shouted: "Take it!" If you don't take it, you will look down on me, remember to buy more rock sugar gourds for Xiaozhu'er to satisfy her hunger. ”

Daoist Tong thanked the two of them for their kindness, snot bubbles came out, and cried: "Poor Dao and two Taoist friends met in Pingshui, ate and lived together for more than a month, did not receive a penny, and even gave away poor Dao silver, how is this good?" ”

Xiao Zhu'er looked at her grandfather, and wanted to cry twice, but she wrinkled her nose hard, but she couldn't cry, so she had no choice but to howl casually.

Entering the city gate, as soon as he went out of the cave, Daoist Tong thanked the two of them for their funding in a perfunctory manner, and pulled his granddaughter to look for his teeth.

Cui Ying watched the old and the young leave, and didn't see even one turn back, and said to Chen Jing: "The silver we gave away can be regarded as meat buns beating dogs." ”

Chen Jing saw a lot, some broken silver, not fairy money, not distressed, walked to the front and said: "If you don't want to eat Bigu Dan anymore, just walk around and have a look." ”

Cui Ying smacked her mouth and said, "I hope there are more kinds of food here." ”

The streets are clean, the buildings are new, and even the new paint is a little smoky, but the flow of people is sparse, and at a glance, there are crowds of people gathering in the places where they are busy with the fortifications, and the shops on the other streets that have been built are full of people.

Cui Ying followed Chen Jing around, walked back and forth a few streets, and could only find some shops selling salted meat, which made Cui Ying's boss unhappy, of course she knew that salted meat is shelf-stable, but the taste of salted meat is too heavy, except for salty, there is not much meat taste, this thing can't be roasted, the best way to slice and fry, but unfortunately Xiaojing didn't listen to him, at most when cooking porridge, cut two pieces to increase the flavor, it is used to talk about better than nothing, it is really not something to satisfy hunger.

Just weigh more than ten catties casually, Chen Jing knows that Cui Niu can't look down on this thing, unless she is greedy, she will eat it secretly, and in normal times, Cui Niu is too lazy to look at the salted meat.

Stop-and-go, Cui Ying is anxious to eat, but she buys some of everything that can satisfy her cravings, and she doesn't know how far she has to go on the road behind, so she doesn't dare to miss it.

Chen Jing doesn't care about these, he can make do with how much he eats, and he takes Cui Niu around the city, the new city has a new atmosphere, and there will always be an eye-catching place.

Walking past a dilapidated ruins, Chen Jing realized that the new city was built on top of the old city, and the white courtyard walls were almost completely torn down, revealing houses lacking bricks and tiles inside.

In such a situation, there are still many people living in the house.

Chen Jing couldn't help but think of a group of people, displaced people.

Looking at the newly built houses on the other side, I don't know if there is a place for these people.

Maybe, it depends on how open-minded Meng Jiguo is.

Cui Ying doesn't want to see these people, and she won't be disdainful, she herself was a wild child when she was a child, and she is not much different from these people, and it is estimated that the only thing that is better than them may be that there are not many times to eat and be hungry.

When she was a child, she went to beg for food when she was hungry, and she could always ask for some, but if there was no one to give, or if she didn't have enough to eat, she had her own way to go to other people's stoves to steal food.

A group of homeless people basking in the sun with their breasts exposed, seeing outsiders walking by, raising their eyelids and taking a look, their brains didn't bother to turn around and take a look, what should be like or what should be.

Cui Ying looked at it, she couldn't see the woman and the child, and there was no one in the house with a leaky roof, some of them felt sorry for these homeless people, all of them were bachelors, who would support them when they were old.

The two did not show great kindness to help these people solve their difficulties, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and giving money to these displaced people can only solve the temporary predicament and cannot feed the rest of their lives.

Chen Jing looked at an old man who was sleeping, looked at it twice, and walked slowly.

After walking more than ten steps, the more Chen Jing thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he turned around and came to the homeless man who looked like a bad old man.

The old man, dressed in gray coarse cloth, with gray hair full of straw, a wide nose, and thick eyebrows, was sleeping soundly.

Chen Jing took another look at the black mole on the soles of the man's feet, walked closer, pushed the old man, and shouted softly: "Old man Feng? ”

Seeing that the old man couldn't wake up, Chen Jing didn't give up, pushed harder, and shouted loudly: "Old man Feng!?" ”

The old man was woken up, his eyes were hazy, he covered the sun with his hands, and saw two strange guys, whose clothes and gold were not touched, like a ranger, and he said angrily: "Whose baby is idle, come to entertain Lao Tzu, take a walk, while looking for someone else, Lao Tzu hasn't slept enough." ”

Cui Ying was anxious for Xiao Jing, and walked over and shouted loudly: "Old man Feng! ”

The old man sat up, rubbed the sesame paste at the corners of his eyes and begged for mercy: "The two young heroes are okay, the little old man didn't provoke you, why don't you catch me and bully?" ”

Chen Jing suddenly laughed, pointed his finger at himself and said, "Old man Feng, do you remember me?" ”

The old man squeezed his eyebrows hard, and finally saw the man's appearance clearly, shook his head and said: "I am a single person, I have no relatives and friends, how can I know my little brother." Alas, no, how did you two know that my surname was Feng? ”

Chen Jing was stunned, took a selfie with his head, and said angrily: "Look at my urgency,"

said to the old man: "Chen Shicun, the boy of the Chen family in the east of the village, Chen Jing, do you remember?" ”

The old man plucked his ears a few times and pondered: "I have only heard the name Chen Jing once, but well, that little guy should be ......."

Chen Jing looked a little sad and nodded, "I should have died a long time ago." ”
