Chapter 37, Overnight in the Wild

Among the rivers and lakes, Li Shucheng knows a lot of masters, and in terms of realm alone, the four uniques are the highest, and they are congenital. Next are the two top masters, the old naughty boy and Qiu Qianren. There must be others who do not walk on the rivers and lakes, such as the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Western Xia Palace, there must be master guards in the palace.

Innate is only the realm, if you really start to do it, you may not be able to defeat the acquired master, after all, the internal strength of the acquired master has also begun to return to the innate. For example, the old naughty boy used his hands to fight, and Huang Yaoshi thought that he might not be able to win. But if you really want to fight desperately, the innate recovery speed is fast, and you can drag down the top masters.

However, breaking through the entrance is very difficult for cultivators. Not only the quality and quantity of internal force must be achieved, but also the physical quality and spiritual realm are also indispensable.

"When your martial arts reach the pinnacle in the future, your family will grow and prosper forever. Li Shucheng said, "For example, the previous Murong family was a famous family in the rivers and lakes, and almost every generation produced masters, if it weren't for paranoia, the pursuit of the impossible dream of recovering the country from generation to generation harmed itself, and now it must still be a big family on the rivers and lakes." There is also the Dali royal family, the founding emperor of Dali was also one of the best masters on the rivers and lakes, and there were several masters in the same descendants, and the Southern Emperor, one of the four uniques today, is the descendant of the Duan family. ”

In fact, the most important thing for the continuation of the family is to be low-key, not to take the lead, and to live your life honestly. Many of the big families that have been handed down are like this, the first generation of founding ancestors is still famous, not even very famous, after one or two hundred to hundreds of years of development, branches, huge families, many talents, even if each is not very famous, but it is also a big force. This is how the surnames of the Han people come from. For example, the surname Yimen Chen, from the first year of Tang Xuanzong to the seventh year of Song Renzong's Jiayou, the population increased to more than 3,900, Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng felt that they were too powerful, and advised Song Renzong to let them divide their families.

Of course, the surname Chen is also as good as a stream, divided into more than 200 families, scattered everywhere, and has many descendants. As for those who fight against a strong emperor, life is not good. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the five surnames and seven wangs did not even buy Li Shimin's account, and later when Wu Zetian came, he was made into a plate of loose sand by Wu Zetian several times, and then gradually declined, and in the Song Dynasty, the five surnames and seven wangs gradually disappeared. It's lucky, if it's uprooted, it's really cool.

After the solution test, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue discussed going out to relax, Li Yu said, "Mingyue has been taking care of you for more than a year, and I haven't been to the port, just listen to the report, I'm still not at ease, you go over there to have a look." It's the same everywhere. ”

"What kind of heart are you going to go out and have a task? Li Shucheng said, "Besides, the lock and the second egg are staring over there, and they will definitely report something." ”

"Although they are from the village, they are not their own family after all, are they? Li Yu said. The trading houses on the port side are the bulk of the family's income, and if something goes wrong, the income will not drop sharply. Although even without the income of the port, the family lives in extreme poverty and luxury...... Wealthy, but who would be willing to give up running such a trading house?

"Well, we haven't decided where to go anyway. Li Shucheng said, "Just go to the port to have a look, and you can go to the sea for a few turns." ”

This time I didn't take a carriage when I went out, and the two of them rode a horse and ran slowly. This is not a good horse, it is an ordinary horse, but it is well fed, the hair is smooth and smooth, and although the two of them cannot run for a long time, it is okay to jog in small steps. As for good horses, there is no pasture in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a serious shortage of good horses, even if the Li family gets it back from the north at a high price, they may be rushed into the army by the government.

In fact, the mount Li Shucheng wanted was a donkey, didn't Zhang Guolao ride a donkey? But it was very rare to find a donkey with a strong load-bearing capacity, so just think about it.

Along the way, I passed through a lot of villages and towns, and when I arrived at the meal, I would stop to eat a full meal, and when I was thirsty at the tea house on the side of the road, I would stop and take out the tea leaves and let the guys make tea. The tea house on the side of the road is simple, and it is a place for passers-by at the bottom to rest, and there can be any good tea. is not used to drinking a big bowl of tea on the roadside, Li Shucheng will not pretend to be a show.

At the end of the day, I passed by a few tea houses, and stopped to drink tea in two of them, but there was no fight at all. "Isn't it often played like this in TV dramas?" Li Shucheng thought to himself.

In fact, the tea house is a small business, and the business is also an ordinary person, if the tea house often fights, then who dares to run the tea house? This is fighting with life!

The two of them walked this road for the first time, missed the town, and spent the night in the wilderness. As for why he didn't go to the village? At this time, the village was very poor, and the accommodation conditions were very bad, even if the villagers were enthusiastic, Li Shucheng was not willing.

Tethering the horse to a tree on the side of the road, Li Shucheng said, "I'll go get some prey." ”

"Be careful. Jiang Mingyue nodded and began to move. Determine the location of the campfire, draw your sword, cut down the sparse bushes next to it to look much more spacious, and go for firewood.

There are very few dry branches that fall from the ground, but there are ones on the trees. Although such a forest looks lush from a distance, it is too dense and lacks nutrients, and many branches will die.

The crown of the tree is not high, Jiang Mingyue gently verticalized, already more than a zhang high, her toes were a little on the trunk, her body rose another zhang, and she turned her body slightly, and she was already standing on the tree.

One leap is more than one zhang high, and the middle only reaches more than two zhang at a time, there are many in the rivers and lakes, but there are not many people like Jiang Mingyue without a trace of fireworks.

Li Shucheng was very lucky, he quickly caught the prey, and when he came out of the forest, Jiang Mingyue had already found a large pile of firewood, cut it into sections and neatly piled it aside, and lit a bonfire.

"Luckily, I hunted a deer. Li Shucheng smiled, "You can enjoy it tonight." "Because of the practice of martial arts, the amount of food is large, and when I am at home, the food at home is nutritious, and I often use precious medicinal materials, and I don't feel it yet. But as soon as I came out, I couldn't do it, and I ate two meals during the day, and I ate twice as much as usual at each meal, and I still felt hungry quickly. The cost of Li Shucheng's meal at home is usually half a month for a family of four. It is also understandable why there are not many masters on the rivers and lakes, regardless of the size of the sect.

Of course, living like an ordinary person can also practice martial arts, but the cultivation speed is much slower.

Putting the deer down, Li Shucheng led the two horses and tied them to the other two trees and let them continue grazing. "It's been a day, but this person who can't go to the village or the back of the store can only grieve you twice. Tomorrow I will give you something to eat, and there will be eggs mixed with it. He patted the horse's back and said.

I found a small ditch with the deer, skinned and disemboweled, and washed it, and then roasted it directly on the fire.

After roasting for a while and starting to get greasy, Li Shucheng turned out the seasoning and sprinkled it on it.

"You still have seasonings with you!" Jiang Mingyue said when she saw it, "I thought I was going to eat unsalted meat tonight." "If you don't put salt in the meat, it doesn't taste good at all.

"If you want to go out, why don't you prepare a little. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Walking outside, a situation like tonight is easy to occur, and you can make an emergency." In fact, Li Shucheng brought it, just so that he could have a barbecue in the wild.

A deer is not big, and there are many bones, and the meat is divided between the two and eats most of it slowly.

It was already dark, and they heard movement on the road from a distance, and the two of them were on guard, and after the person walked in, he said: "This brother, I missed the stay in the next family in a hurry, can you let us stay here for one night?"

Li Shucheng had already heard that several people were coming together, and through the faint light, he saw a woman standing next to the man who was talking, holding a pair of five or six-year-old children in her arms. The family is dressed plainly, and they look like ordinary people.

"The two of us also missed the night, and it was fate that we met in the wild late at night. Li Shucheng said, "Come here." "It's autumn now, the temperature at night is a little low, and although the clothes of the two children are not thin, they are also prone to freezing.

"Where are your family going?" After the family sat down, Li Shucheng asked.

"We are home. The man replied.

The two children came to the fire, sniffed against their mother, warmed up, and looked around at the meat on the slate by the fire. The flesh attached to the bones exuded a strong fragrance, which caused the two children to swallow their saliva.

Jiang Mingyue saw it, picked it up and handed it over, and said with a smile: "You're in a hurry all the way, haven't you eaten yet?" ”

The two children looked at the man with joy in their eyes. The man said, "This will not work. What are we going to do if we eat you two?"

"We've already eaten. Li Shucheng said, "Give them two sisters and brothers to eat, just don't waste it." ”

"Thank you both. The man said, turning to his child and saying, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you, childe, thank you, girl. The two siblings hurriedly thanked them, and then took them and couldn't wait to eat.

Jiang Mingyue watched the two children eat deliciously, with a smile on her face. Li Shucheng added a few sticks of firewood and asked, "Where is your home?"

"Our home is in Huating County, where a new port has been built. "There's also a big soap workshop, and now the people of the village can make money for whatever they do." I also received a letter from home to find out, so I took my wife and children back to see. ”

"So you're there!" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "It just so happens that we're going there too, so it's better to go together." Tomorrow we hire a boat and we will soon be there down the river. ”

"Is there anything you have going there for?" the man asked. Li Shucheng's words aroused his vigilance.

"My family has a little business there. Li Shucheng said with a smile.

"We don't have that much money, so let's walk. The man said. Then no matter what Li Shucheng said, he didn't agree to take the free boat.

The next morning, the two said goodbye and left, and the man breathed a sigh of relief. Although they don't have much money, don't they have children? I heard that there are flower shooters who specialize in abducting and selling children. However, the two children don't know the thoughts of adults, and they ate delicious barbecue last night, and they were very reluctant.
