Chapter 11 Penniless
On the second day, Lin Yin followed Chen Zijun to the Jade Girl Peak platform for dinner. Chen Zijun has never walked on the iron chain of the platform of the East Peak and the Jade Girl Peak on weekdays, and the winter wind is strong, and the iron cable on the canyon has been shaking, and he dare not walk. Lin Yin was a little sure of himself, but it was not good to go alone.
Up and down the hill, I arrived at the platform, where a large stone house was used for cooking. There were not many disciples who ate for dinner, forty or fifty people, but there were also some elderly people who also sat with ordinary disciples, which was rare in the past. Now that the war is spreading, it may burn to Huashan at any time, and the ordinary disciples of Huashan have already gone down the mountain nine times out of ten, and these elders have arranged for all the disciples to come here to dine in order to gather some popularity.
Lin Yin is well-known in Huashan, and when he comes back after going down the mountain for a month, many people will greet him, although he is not very enthusiastic, he is still much better than before. However, Lin Yin found that no one seemed to ask him where he had gone this month and why he came back.
After finishing the meal, Lin Yin and Chen Zijun returned to Dongfeng again, and when they left, they also brought some dried steamed bread and vegetables for dinner at night, so they didn't have to come again. It took more than an hour and a half to eat a meal.
Lin Yin stayed in Huashan again, practicing swords during the day, eating, and practicing internal skills at night. In the blink of an eye, winter goes to spring, and the people of Huashan are slim, after all, there is still more vitality.
In the early spring of February, the snow in Huashan gradually melted, and the north was no longer as steep as a knife, although there was a spring cold, but it did not freeze people.
There was also news from the bottom of the mountain that the Tongguan guard was replaced by the veteran Ge Shuhan, who was no less famous than Gao Xianzhi, and was also a famous general of the dynasty, and there was a poem that wrote: "The Big Dipper is high, and Ge Shu carries a knife at night." So far, I have peeped at the herding horses and dare not pass Lintao. ”
Although Lin Yin does not understand military politics, he understands that whether Tongguan is guarded or not is not with who the guards are, but with the command of the imperial court. If Ge Shuhan can strictly defend Tongguan and the rebels can't advance eastward, they will be defeated sooner or later, for fear that there will be one or two more traitors like Bian Lingcheng and force the generals defending the city to fight, not to mention that Tongguan will be lost sooner or later, even Chang'an will not be able to protect it.
In mid-February, Lin Yin said goodbye to Chen Zijun, and Chen Zijun didn't ask him why he was going down the mountain again, only wishing him peace. The two have been together for two months, although they don't talk about everything, they also have a lot of interactions, especially Lin Yin's many unique insights on swordsmanship, which has benefited Chen Zijun a lot. Looking at Lin Yin's figure descending the mountain, Chen Zijun sighed: "Senior Brother Yue is so young, but his martial arts are progressing rapidly, and now he is unfathomable, and he can't see his details at all, he is really a genius." It's just that for some reason, he is always sullen, it's really that people have no long-term worries. ”
Lin Yin went down the mountain to find Ren Yue. Thinking about it, the leader who robbed Ren Yue back then was also killed by him, and now there are no other clues except for going to the Daguang Temple of Manichaeism in Quanzhou to investigate. Hope is slim rather than none.
How far is Quanzhou from Huashan, he doesn't understand, he can only go to Chang'an first, inquire carefully and then go on the road, and Chang'an extends in all directions, and it is more convenient to go to other places.
Soon after arriving in Chang'an, the former bustling capital was panicked due to the war, and there was a lot less popularity, and the shop business and the flow of people on the street were not as good as before.
Lin Yin had no intention of wandering around Chang'an, and wanted to enter the palace at night and kill Bian Lingcheng, but seeing that the Daming Palace was heavily guarded, it was better than usual, so he decided to give up for the time being.
From Chang'an to Quanzhou, about 3,500 miles, to the southeast, through Shangluo, through Xiangyang, Jiangxia, Jiangzhou, Yuzhang, Linchuan and other prefectures and counties into Fujian, the southeast of Fujian, the edge can reach Quanzhou. After Lin Yin inquired clearly, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "How do you go for these thousands of miles." Brother Ren, if you have a spirit in the sky, can you tell me where Xiaoyue is? How to find her. "For more than a year, Lin Yin has been in countless distresses, and for the first time, he feels extremely helpless, the world is so big, how difficult it is to look for someone aimlessly. sighed, but never thought of giving up, and if he didn't find Ren Yue, he was afraid that he would die.
Tidying up and cheering up, Lin Yin began to go south. The farther south we go, the farther away from the fighting, the atmosphere is not as tense as it is near the capital.
After walking for a few days, Lin Yin found that entanglement was another problem: there was no money available for food in the hotel. Xin said: "No, when Brother Ren took me to Jiangzhou, he ate and drank well, and he was never short of money, why am I so depressed?" He thought about finding something that paid him to do. Lin Yin only knows some martial arts, and after thinking about it from top to bottom, it seems that he has nothing to do, so he has nothing else to do.
"No, I know martial arts, what do you mean by being good at nothing." Lin Yin thought to himself, now that the war is in chaos, if there are ordinary people like him who want to travel long distances, it is necessary to find some companions who can do martial arts. Lin Yin decided that when he arrived in Shangluo, he would look for business travelers who needed protection, of course, these guests had to go south and have money for themselves. As for why these people are looking for themselves, and what the dart game is, Lin Yin didn't expect it at all.
Lin Yin went all the way over the mountains and mountains, slept in the open air, and finally arrived in Shangluo. Shangluo is a large county in southern Shaanxi, located in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, relying on the Shang Mountain, Linyu water, not as good as those large state counties, but because it is located in the south of the capital, there are a lot of merchants and tourists. Lin Yin was very pleased to see that there were many pedestrians on the street, and there were also some merchants coming and going from all over the world.
At this time, he had no half of the copper plate, smelling the fragrance from the street restaurant, he felt even more hungry and uncomfortable, and looked down on himself fiercely, but he still couldn't think about it. Lin Yin has grown a lot taller in the past year, and he is no longer the down-and-out boy he was at the beginning, although he has been down-and-out for a long time, he just can't bother anymore.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yin felt that the post station was a transit point for communication, so he starved and found the post station. After entering, I found that the people who came and went in the post station were official messengers, officials and others, and they didn't need Lin Yin's protection. The post officer saw that he was covered in tatters, and his eyebrows were swaying, and finally he couldn't help but drive him out.
Dejected, I walked out of the post station, and thought about it, the post station is not good, and the inn can try your luck. Walking to the largest inn in Shangluo, just as he was about to step in, the shopkeeper ran over and looked him up and down several times with slanted eyes. Finally, his eyes fell on the double swords on his back, and then he said: "Objectively, are you staying in the hotel or sharpening." Lin Yin was a little uncomfortable and slightly unhappy, and when she was thinking about how to answer, her stomach rumbled, and she said, "Eat." ”
Xiao Er lazily welcomed Lin Yin in, found a table and sat down, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, ordered several dishes and a large portion of rice. He hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days, and after he devoured the food on the table, he was thinking about what to pay off. After groping around on his body for a long time, he took out a brand, took it out and saw that it was a waist card issued when he sealed Changqing's team. The back of the waist brand tiger head and dragon tail should have been engraved with the name of Lin Yin, but because the initial distribution was in a hurry, and then because it was flawless, it was engraved, so the back was blank. The waist brand is cyan, like jade and stone, Lin Yin doesn't know what material it is, whether it's worth it or not, but there is no way, so I can only take this as a pawn.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Er saw that Lin Yin hesitated not to meet the money, and finally walked over and said, "The guest officer has finished eating, just pay at the counter." ”
Lin Yin didn't want to go to the counter to make a fool of himself, so he pretended to touch it up and down, and then pretended to be surprised: "It's not good, my money bag is gone, have you seen it, little second brother, have ......you seen it" The little second interrupted Lin Yin impatiently: "Okay, okay, I don't have the money to pay, right, either leave your sword as food, or go to see the official with us." "Lin Yin doesn't act like a person who loses a money bag at all, at first glance, he is the kind that has never been arrogant from beginning to end, Xiao Er knows countless people, how can he not see through it.
Lin Yin was embarrassed, and said in his heart: "What do you want my sword for?" Uncle, don't I have anything of value except for a sword? He took out the waist card and said, "Look at this waist card." ”
Xiao Er only glanced at the waist card and stopped looking at it, then stared at Lin Yin and said, "This brand, everyone has it, what's so rare?" Lin Yin didn't understand, and muttered: "Does everyone have it?" Why didn't I have it before? The shopkeeper snorted lightly and said, "That's because you're a countryman." Lin Yin had nothing to say, seeing that Xiao Er's voice was getting louder and louder, she was a little scared, worried that the other guests would hear that she had no money and wanted to eat white food.
Lin Yin saw Xiao Er staring at him, and said: "Little Second Brother, you are looking, my brand is different, it was sent to me by General Feng Changqing's team when I was in Luoyang, and the name has not had time to be engraved." Xiao Er "cut" with a disdainful face, but he still picked up the waist card, looked at it a few times, and said: "It seems to be really different, but I don't recognize it, I'll take a look at the shopkeeper." ”
Xiao Er took the waist card to the counter, and Lin Yin waited anxiously in the seat, hoping that this brand could be worth a meal, if there was a surplus, it would be better. After waiting for a while, Xiao Er came over and said to Lin Yin: "Although our shopkeeper doesn't believe that you have followed General Feng, we still let you go with me and go to the pawnshop on the next street, and let the shopkeeper Liu help to see, his son is on an errand under General Feng Changqing." ”
Lin Yin clasped his nose and said, "Are you going, I'm real." Xiao Er said impatiently: "It's not true that you said it doesn't count, it's not far, let's go together." Lin Yin said in his heart: "Alas, if I want to leave, you can't stop it, why do you have to be so faceless." "I still got up and went out with the shopkeeper.
When he arrived at the pawnshop, the shopkeeper handed the waist card to the pawnshop shopkeeper after explaining his intentions, and the shopkeeper looked at it carefully and said, "This is true." He looked at Lin Yin again and asked, "Little brother, have you been under General Feng Changqing?" Lin Yin didn't want to talk about it, so she only nodded.
