"I'll give you some time, if you think clearly, go to the valley village outside Ping'an Town to find me."

"If I don't agree, what will happen to Chief Helmsman Yuan?"

Yuan Siqiao's face was serious, "In my heart, Brother Chen is a friend, if the world is peaceful one day, and there is no fighting, I will go to find you and drink with you for three days." ”

"But Brother Chen needs to remember that every step we take now is saving the lives of thousands of people. Mr. Big is the light of the world, if he dies, there will be no light in the world. ”

"The dynasty can't be supported, or in a few years, when the Di Kingdom in the north becomes stronger and stronger, it will invade the south on a large scale. At that time, it will be the darkest day on earth. ”

Yuan Siqiao got up and put the incense master order in Chen Jing's hand.

"If you choose righteousness, this is the reward. If you don't choose, treat it as an old friend. ”

"The road is slippery in the rain, and when you go back, Brother Chen is careful all the way."

Chen Jing took the incense master order, and wanted to say a few more words, only to find that Yuan Siqiao had already tied the bamboo hat and floated into the rain.

"Dongjia ......" Xing Xiaojiu walked back, looked at the silent Chen Jing, and shouted hesitantly.

"It's fine."

After putting away the incense master's order and picking up the paper umbrella, Chen Jing's gaze suddenly drifted.

On the way back to Tang Village, you can see along the way that those rich carriages that have seen enough of the play are constantly laughing happily.

Xing Xiaojiu scolded a few words, grabbed the knife in his hand again, frightened a approaching carriage, and hurriedly drove forward.

"Boss, I overheard some ...... just now No matter how the owner chooses, I will follow the owner. Seeing that Chen Jing didn't speak for a long time, Xing Xiaojiu hurriedly comforted him.

Without replying, Chen Jing tilted his head, pinched the incense master order in his hand, and fell into deep thought for a while.

This step in his life is a very critical choice.

……

It was about dusk the next day that the carriage returned to Tang Village.

When Chen Jing walked down, he found that in the courtyard at the entrance of the village, the people waiting were not only Song Yu, but also many villagers.

Seeing Chen Jing come back, these villagers who had fought bandits together all let out heartfelt cheers.

"Chen Jing, your face is ...... Are you all right? Song Yu took the towel and asked worriedly.

"It's fine." Chen Jing laughed and took out the guide from his arms.

"Song Yu, I've got the guide."

Seeing this, Song Yubei became overjoyed.

"Recently, it has become more and more chaotic, and with the road guide, I will leave for the south tomorrow."

"Chen Jing, will you be in too much of a hurry?"

"No, it's just the right time."

Chen Jing walked out of the courtyard and looked at many villagers in Tang Village, sheltering from the rain. A road guide, according to Ran Law, can bring ten domestic servants. Except for a few of his own family, as well as Xia Chong's wife and children, there are still four places left.

Chen Jing plans to make up for it in Tang Village. After all, these villagers have always respected him very much because of the fight against the old bandits. Moreover, the young men who beat the bandits, after experiencing a lot of blood, are no longer the same as before.

"Chen Gongzi, I'll go!" A villager Qingzhuang spoke, "My parents died early, and I am the only one in the family, I am willing to follow Chen Gongzi!" ”

"Chen Jinggongzi, I'll go too!"

"Chen Jinggongzi, although I, Zhou Qi, am a rouge merchant, I beat bandits that day and stabbed two or three!"

What Chen Jing didn't expect was that after just mentioning it, after a while, seven or eight people were willing to follow south. Due to the number of people, Chen Jing chose two young people, plus a young couple.

Just when the dust was about to settle, Zhang Tiancai suddenly ran over in a hurry with a linen bandage on his back.

"Chen Jinggongzi, I'm Zhang Tiancai, I am willing to follow Chen Jinggongzi to the north and south!"

"Brother Cai, I've already picked someone ......"

Zhang Tiancai didn't listen, knelt in the rain, and kowtowed to Chen Jing incessantly, kowtowing all over his head. Frightened, a young man who was originally going to follow gave up his place.

"Early tomorrow morning, pack up your things and come to the village entrance to prepare." Chen Jing exhaled. Anyway, the people under him now have a small team.

Walking back to the house, Chen Jing was not idle, scraped a round of mold again, and collected it into a porcelain vase.

……

"Bring a pair of knives and wooden bows that were seized by the old bandits."

"Which one can ride a horse? Ride a few horses and follow the carriage. ”

The great victory against the old bandits not only confiscated weapons, but also more than a dozen horses that could run.

Xiao Zhang, who loves to write poetry, carried two big-headed knives and a wooden bow on his back, and even out of nowhere, he picked up a pair of old bandit cloth armor and ran over in high spirits.

It's a pity that I can't ride a horse, and I fell down after climbing three or four times. Afraid that his old injury would recur, Chen Jing had to let him go to the child's car.

The rain in the early morning has finally begun to subside.

Two carriages and three horses, after saying goodbye to the villagers, began to slowly drive out of Tang Village.

Yu Shan, who was driving the car, was a little unfamiliar, twisted and crooked, and after being tortured Xiaojiu laughed a few times, he scolded and became serious, and after a while, he actually drove steadily.

"Chen Jing, you have something on your mind." In the carriage, Song Yu turned his head.

"You can see that, too."

The carriage drove through the long road on the edge of the ridge, and after the rain moistened, the rice crops grew more pleasantly, green and verdant, blending with the distant mountains, just waiting for the breeze to blow, and then wave after wave of spring waves.

Chen Jing retracted his gaze and muttered.

"Sending you over Nanshan and out of the official road, I plan to go back."

"Go back...... Do what. Chen Jing, as you said, we went to the south and we were safe. ”

"Yes."

Chen Jing paused, his voice serious.

"But there are some things that I always feel like I should do. In just over a month, I met a lot of people who taught me great things. ”

"Is it dangerous?"

"Not dangerous." Chen Jing looked at Song Yu and smiled, "Probably, someone is unwell, I'll help give you a ride." ”

"When I'm done, I'll catch up with you with Xiao Jiu."

Song Yu hung his head and was silent.

"There is a thousand taels of silver ticket here, and when the time comes, I will let Yu Shan follow you. You know, he always listens to you the most. ”

Song Yu raised his head, his eyes red.

"The doll hasn't been born yet, I can't die, and I can't bear it." Chen Jing hurriedly spoke.

"You're too late, I'll look for you."

Chen Jinggang wanted to refuse.

"Chen Jing, don't forget, since I was thirteen years old, I can take a firewood stick, go to the wild dog pile, go to the grave, go to Renyazi Lane, and desperately save you back."

"Okay, listen to you." Chen Jing's throat choked.

……

"Remember, your name is Xingqiu, Lao Tzu's son of Xing Xiaojiu. When you grow up for another two years, I will pass on the ancestral knife technique to you without pulling a single move. ”

"What are you crying about? When Lao Tzu was your age, he could go into the mountains to fight wolves. ”

"Don't let you cry, iron-beaten man, hanging egg seed, cry again and I'll smoke my legs...... Woo, my son, I can't bear you. ”

……

On the long road where the rain had just stopped, the wheels of the car splashed with new mud. The sorrow of leaving people is mixed with the earthy smell, and it chokes people's noses for a while.
