Chapter 211: I Can't See the Suffering of the People
Everyone knows that wars usually do not have a bad impact on the bureaucrats, and it is the common people who suffer the most.
Zhu Gaoxuan nodded: "I understand what you mean." You're saying that if you go this way to Kyoto, you'll meet rogues, right? ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, because although this road is close, it is remote." You don't have to rush tonight, get around here tomorrow morning......"
The old man was kind.
Song Sisi frowned: "But we didn't see an inn when we came." Where are we going to rest! ”
The old man hesitated, "You can also stay with me for one night!" ”
Song Sisi was naturally happy: "Then thank you to the old man." ”
Sleeping in the open along the way has long made Miss Song a little unbearable, and she doesn't want to sleep on the streets again tonight.
Zhu Gaoxuan did not object, he looked out the window and saw two villagers walking slowly.
They were all the same skinny, they walked weakly, and each of them carried a basket on their backs......
Seeing the suffering of the people, he asked directly.
"Didn't you say there were rogues? How could anyone still come back from the mountains so late? ”
The shopkeeper sighed: "The nearby villagers have always made a living by picking herbs, even if they were captured by the rogue, they only collected their herbs, knowing that they had no money, they just let them back." It's not the same for merchants like you. ”
It seems that this so-called rogue is not cruel.
Zhu Gaoxuan squinted his eyes and looked at the mountains not far away: "Looking at the two old people, it is obvious that they are malnourished, but it is said that after all, you are close to the side of the mountain, so you will not go hungry." Usually, you can go hunting, pick some wild fruits or something. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "How can it be as easy as you say?" There are not many beasts in the mountains, and most of them are ferocious. There are rabbits and the like, but they are not easy to catch. There are very few wild fruits......"
Zhu Gaoxuan smiled slightly: "That's because you haven't mastered the hunting skills, I'll go to the mountains to help you do something later." By the way, see if there are many beasts on the mountain or not. ”
When the shopkeeper heard him say this, his face immediately changed.
He waved his hand in a panic: "I can't help it, if I meet a rogue, I see that you are outsiders, and you will definitely be killed." ”
Zhu Gaoxuan was unimpressed: "Liukou usually don't haunt the town, and they don't want to be arrested by the officials and soldiers." We just don't go into the mountains. ”
Despite the shopkeeper's strong opposition, Zhu Gaoxuan did not change his mind.
The shopkeeper saw that he was so stubborn, so he simply wanted to go into the mountain with him, but for the sake of safety, he called the nearby villagers to go with him.
Miss Song, who originally thought that she could have a good rest, did not want Zhu Gaoxuan to enter the mountain.
But she couldn't find any reason to object.
Zhu Gaoxuan did this, there is nothing wrong......
And as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he is willing to solve problems for the lofty people, which shows his broad-mindedness.
This made her dislike him a little less.
After a short rest after dinner, Zhu Gaoxuan took a few ordinary people up the mountain.
Song Sisi naturally accompanied him.
At night, the forest is so dark that it can almost be described as not being able to see your fingers.
But as they descended into the woods, they could see a little green light flickering in the distance.
The shopkeeper was a little nervous: "Shall we not go inside?" ”
Zhu Gaoxuan stopped at this time, and then wrapped the wire he carried around the trunks of two trees.
Then he spoke: "Everyone is hiding now, don't scatter, you must gather together." Then I went to the front and looked to see if it was a wolf or something, and brought them over by the way. ”
He had a breezy attitude.
But it made everyone gasp.
Song Sisi pinched his sweat for him: "Aren't you worried about the wolves in front of you?" ”
If it's a lone wolf or a leopard or something, there's really nothing to be afraid of.
But if they encounter wolves, they are estimated to be wiped out.
Zhu Gaoxuan looked confident: "I'm sure it's not a wolf pack ahead, you don't have to worry." ”
After the words landed, he had already turned over directly on the horse, and then urged the sweaty BMW forward.
And everyone who stayed behind was trembling, including Song Sisi.
She stared at the direction where Zhu Gaoxuan was gone, until she couldn't see anything......
At this time, the shopkeeper beside her finally couldn't help but speak: "Is this Gao Gongzi really just an ordinary businessman?" If you are just an ordinary businessman, you shouldn't have such courage. ”
Indeed, an ordinary businessman should not have such courage.
Song Sisi could only find a reason to fool them: "Childe joined the army when he was young, so he still has some real skills." And once he was seriously injured in a battle, and a man who was chased by the pursuers hid in the woods and learned a lot of life skills. ”
Everyone doubted him: "I see." ”
Song Sisi hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "However, don't talk about this matter with outsiders, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Everyone laughed and said, "Of course we know this, we won't go out and talk nonsense." ”
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and continued to listen carefully to the movement in the distance.
Half an hour had passed, and just when everyone was a little restless, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Everyone's heart was in their throats.
Of course, Song Sisi is also included.
She tightened the wire in her hand, staring in the direction the voice came from.
Soon saw that Zhu Gaoxuan returned safely, and the sweaty BMW was very spiritual, and when he passed the wire, he jumped up.
The two wolves that followed were not so lucky, they were directly stopped to the ground, and the thin wire directly cut their legs.
They let out a terrible scream.
The villagers, who had been prepared for a long time, saw that only two wolves were coming, so they were naturally fearless, and pounced on them with a guy in their hands.
The two wolves soon died.
Everyone was so excited.
You must know that since the war on the border broke out and the grain in their hands was requisitioned, they have been miserable every day, and they have not had enough to eat.
Many people haven't seen meat in a long time.
Although the two wolves are not particularly large, if everyone divides them, each person can at least share a few catties of meat, which is enough for a family to fight tooth sacrifices.
Zhu Gaoxuan had already turned back at this time: "I just took a turn in the depths of the forest, and I didn't see particularly ferocious animals, and almost all of them were alone. ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Then according to what you say, we can come here often to hunt for game in the future?" ”
