"The snow fell so early this year, it's really a good year!"

Niu Decai walked over with wine, stood beside Xu Ling, and warmly invited him, "Brother Xu, everyone says that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, if you want me to say, the winter scenery of Qiantang is a must!" ”

"Anyway, you don't do business, why don't you go to Qiantang with me!"

Xu Ling raised his glass and smiled: "Brother Niu is really kind, but I have a wife and daughter waiting for me at home, so I can't accompany Brother Niu to go." ”

"Brother Niu can marry a wife and have children?"

Niu Decai smacked his lips with some pity, and said disapprerovingly: "Marry, I married a wife at the age of sixteen, and after I had a wife at the age of seventeen, there is a wife and a concubine in the family, and they enjoy happiness at home, as long as I go back and bring them jewelry, who cares what I do outside?" ”

He also wanted to persuade Xu Ling again, and two more people dragged him over to eat and drink.

Xu Ling stood on the deck by himself for a while, only to feel cold to the bone.

It's only November now, and it's already snowing, and their area belongs to the south, if it is calculated according to the weather in the previous life, it is too unreasonable to snow at this time.

However, Xu Ling learned that in recent years, it has snowed every winter.

In a good year, snow is beneficial to crops, which can increase the yield per mu to some extent. But sometimes it snows too early or too late, and it can have some immeasurable consequences.

Xu Ling couldn't drink this wine.

He quietly stepped away from the crowd, returned to the cabin, closed the door, and slipped into the space.

Like a landlord looking at what he hoards.

A large number of picked vegetables, there are still a few acres of unripe vegetables, medicinal herbs are planted far away, and the rest of the land is wasteland.

It's not that Xu Ling is lazy, he is really tired, and he wants to reclaim hundreds of acres of land in one go, but he is powerless!

Xu Ling sometimes feels that he is more like a cow and horse than in his previous life, he has to sell vegetables every day, he has to go to the market to collect information on goods, and he has to worry about whether the funds can be returned.

He has calculated that he does not sleep more than six hours a day.

A pair of feet are full of calluses.

However, in case Xu Ling's conjecture is correct, he will only have benefits and no harm in growing food now.

Through inquiry, Xu Ling learned that it has become colder and colder year by year, and the government of the Yong Dynasty is in danger of saying something unpleasant.

Sooner or later, it will collapse, but Xu Ling can't say when it will collapse.

Stockpiling grain, must stockpile grain.

Xu Ling didn't have any intention of appreciating the snow, so he continued to open up the wasteland with a shovel and hoe.

The heavy snow stopped on the second day, and the ship continued to sail in the direction of Lingbao Town.

When there were still two days to go before Lingbao Town, an accident suddenly occurred.

Xu Ling would come out of the cabin every day for food, so as not to find him, and he was bending his neck on the deck to brag and fart with people on this day, when he suddenly saw the helmsman running to the cabin with a panicked face.

After a while, the bow of the Wei family hurriedly ran out and stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance.

At this time, Xu Ling and the others all sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly approached the side of the boat to take a look.

I saw a big ship with the flag of the Wei family not far away, and seven or eight boats the size of bamboo leaves in other directions, which were constantly moving closer to the direction of Xu Ling's ship with the big ship.

The others were still muttering, the Wei family deserved to be the Wei family, and before this ship returned to Lingbao Town, another ship began to transport goods again.

Xu Ling suddenly felt bad in his heart, but he remembered that a ship of the Wei family was robbed by Jiang bandits!

Could it be that I was unlucky to bump into it so soon?

He was busy reminding the boatman, but the boatman was already one step ahead of him, sounding the gong and drum to remind the people on the boat to hurry back to the cabin, the ship was about to speed up.

Open the small wooden window and look outside, only to see the shore scenery in the distance constantly retreating, but unfortunately the big ship carries too much, and the speed is not as fast as those bamboo leaves-like light boats.

In just half a cup of tea, those small boats caught up, and Xu Ling heard the sound of Jiang bandits' strange screams from the boat.

They were not in a hurry to get on the boat, but only drove the ship away, as if there was some purpose.

Xu Ling was a little flustered in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

I don't know if these Jiang bandits burned the male gang, if they were with him, they might be able to pick up a small life, but there are people from the Wei family in Lingbao Town on this boat.

If they find out that they know the scalded man and go back to inform the Wei family, I am afraid that Xu Ling's life will be difficult.

In the end, Xu Ling thought about the worst outcome, the big deal was that he jumped into the water to escape, this body was very watery, maybe there was a glimmer of life.

"Bang!"

The ship hit the reef suddenly, Xu Ling was unprepared for a moment, and was thrown against the door, and the big ship moved forward for a moment and slowly stopped.

The boats were already around the boat, and some people threw up their claw hooks and climbed down the ropes to the boat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are just a small business, I don't know where to annoy you, here is a hundred taels of silver, if you don't dislike it, please accept it!"

The sound of the bow of the ship came from the deck, and Xu Ling listened with his ears pricked up.

"You boatman, you're a discerning person! The young master will accept your filial piety! ”

"Call all the people on the boat out of here! Hurry up and get out! ”

Someone kicked on the hatch and pulled out a small merchant from inside, and the merchant hurriedly begged for mercy: "A good man spares his life!" The little ones have money too! ”

The purpose of these Jiang bandits is money, as long as the passing merchants pay the money, they will not have to worry about their lives, and soon, even many travelers with Xu Ling were pulled out and stood on the deck.

Xu Ling carried his small burden, and everyone had valuable property in front of him, and if he didn't have any silver, he could offset the goods.

But Xu ordered him to ...... He doesn't have any money.

Not only did he have no money, he didn't have any goods.

There is space in it, but he gets on the boat empty-handed, and everyone who travels with him knows that he can't take out a bunch of rabbit fur at this time, right?

So, among the people who obediently paid the money, Xu Ling was particularly eye-catching.

"You, come out for me!"

A short and thin man who was not as tall as Xu Ling pulled Xu Ling out of the crowd, ripped off his baggage and threw it to the ground.

The burden is scattered, and the dried melon seeds and steamed buns scattered all over the place are "popped", and half of the braised pork is eaten.

Someone couldn't help but laugh.

The tall and thin man seemed to feel provoked, and asked angrily, "What about your money!" ”

Xu Ling said honestly: "The small ones have no money. ”

"You're a businessman? Scholar? What are you going to do without money! ”

"The little one is a businessman, a first-time businessman, who has no ability, and he has been deceived by someone." Xu Ling shrunk like a quail, hoping that this person would let him go.

"Damn! It's a shame for Lao Tzu to touch the empty salary, right? ”

The tall and thin man was about to kick Xu Ling to alert everyone, but Xu Ling dodged quickly, and he kicked him in the air, his body was unstable, and he split a fork on the deck!

"Poof......" Niu Decai couldn't help laughing, and his face turned red.

The tall and thin man looked at him with a fierce look, his body trembled, but he stood up and begged for mercy for Xu Ling: "A good man spare his life, this is my little brother, I will pay for him with his life, give him a way to live!" ”
