The Eighty-Sixth Chapter of the Dark Shadow
Because it is located on the important official road between the Ming Dynasty and Southern Chu, the most popular thing in Yizhou is the caravan. As the lord of Yizhou, King Cheng naturally makes a lot of money, so how much of King Cheng's assets has naturally become an after-dinner conversation for the people of Yizhou.
However, there is still a group of people in Yizhou who make a lot of money, the dart game.
Most of the income of the dart board comes from those goods that were bought, but no one transported, and between the Ming and Southern Chu, such goods abounded, so that the dart board became a unique scenery in Yizhou.
Compared with caravans, the dart bureau only needs to deliver the goods safely to the designated place, and after the goods are delivered, they do not need to take care of the rest. But the safety along the way has become a place that every dart game needs to pay attention to, and what security depends on is undoubtedly force.
Each dart game will more or less have its own dart master, to ensure the safety of their goods, but more importantly, the worship of those dart games, they are in addition to the dart master, one of the real hole cards of the dart board.
Wang Yi and Zhou Liyuan took the little beggar to stay in Jingxin Temple until dawn, and then set off to Chang'an City, after all, they had to return to Chang'an City to resume their lives.
When they walked to a place on the road, Wang Yi and his party met a group of dart masters who were escorting goods to Chang'an.
Wang Yi stepped forward and made up that his group was going to Chang'an City to seek refuge with relatives, but they were ransacked by the housekeeper and servants on the mountain road, and when they were cornered, they finally saw them. The people below the dart board didn't dare to make a decision, so they had to find a dart master to lead the team. After the dart master who led the team arrived, Wang Yi had no choice but to tell the story he had just made up. After a brief understanding of what happened to Wang Yi and his party, the dart master who led the team was extremely sympathetic and agreed to let Wang Yi and others go to Chang'an with the team, but to do things, feed the horses, and carry the goods, of course, the main thing is that if Wang Yi has the strength of the spirit of the dart, first, there is no threat to the team of the dart game, and secondly, when there is danger, it can be used as combat power, after all, there is one more person and more strength, which the dart master who leads the team still understands.
After putting the little beggar on top of a dart cart, Wang Yi and Zhou Liyuan walked on the ground while looking around at the scenery.
Unconsciously, Wang Yi and the others had been marching for three days with the team of the dart game, and they came to the familiar realm of Wang Yi, Ganzhou City.
The mountain roads in Ganzhou City are rugged and the walk is fine, but the little beggar sitting on the dart cart is naturally unlucky, so he proposes to get down and walk.
Wang Yi also found out about this, personally hugged her, and put her on the ground.
The little beggar was very honest, without the slightest word, all the way, and did not ask why Wang Yi took him, nor did he ask where he was going.
After Wang Yi poured all the qi left by the abbot of Jingxin Temple into the little beggar's body, the little beggar became very sleepable, and in addition to eating, drinking, and lazing a day, he slept on the dart cart.
Wang Yi is also happy to be idle, after all, if it is said that disciplining such a young child, or a child who knows everything, it is quite a headache.
Seeing that he couldn't enter Ganzhou City before dark, the dart master who led the team passed the word, and the team camped on the spot and waited until dawn to enter the city.
After finding an open place, Wang Yi set up the tents that had been distributed, went to the tent, and lit a bonfire to prevent the beasts from attacking the tent at night.
When the people in the team saw Wang Yi light a bonfire, they came here one after another, distributed the food, and then put a thick wood on top of the bonfire and boiled a pot of hot soup to ward off the cold. Although it is still in the tail of summer, the night is already a little cool in autumn.
The person who led the team had the same surname as Wang Yi and was called Wang Dayuan. Wang Yi relied on his ability to see other people's qi clearly, and clearly knew that this Wang Dayuan was a half-step Xingjun cultivator, but he suppressed his own cultivation to his true life, and he should be the master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
Wang Dayuan sat beside Wang Yi, took out the meatloaf in his hand boldly, handed it to Wang Yi, and Wang Yi thanked him and took it. Wang Dayuan untied the wine jug on his waist, looked at the lit bonfire, and chatted slowly.
This dart game is called Qingshan Dart Board, which is the largest dart game in Hanshui City in Yizhou, and it is also a famous dart game in Yizhou.
Han Qingnai, the family member of the Qingshan Dart Bureau, was the escort who grew up with King Cheng back then, and after exiting the Chengwang Mansion, he came to Hanshui City, relying on his relationship with King Cheng, as well as his own dots in Yizhou for many years, the Qingshan Dart Bureau is getting bigger and bigger.
But the most regrettable thing is that Han Qing has no sons, only two daughters. One practiced in Luojia Mountain, which is known as the holy land of women on the rivers and lakes, and the other inherited the family business at home.
The old club's every day worries about his own family business and no descendants, and he always wants to give birth to a son. The hard work paid off, and with the efforts of the old club, she finally gave birth to a son, but her wife died in childbirth.
The old club valued and felt that he owed his two daughters, so he handed over the dart game to his eldest daughter. After the second daughter who practiced on Luojia Mountain knew about this, on the day of her mother's funeral, she kowtowed three times and broke off her relationship with Han Qing. Without waiting for Han Qing to speak, he turned around and returned to Luojia Mountain.
Wang Dayuan drunkenly told the story, while Wang Yi untied the wine jug at his waist and drank it slowly. He wasn't interested in any dart game, and he wasn't interested in what his father owed his daughter, but when he was close to Ganzhou City, he thought of Ye Yao in Yejiazhai, and he didn't know what happened to her now.
Wang Dayuan didn't know this, he thought that Wang Yi was drinking for what he said about the old master, so he immediately threw away his vigilance, pulled Wang Yi You take a sip, and I drank it in one gulp.
Although Wang Yi was miserable, when he saw Wang Dayuan's gracious appearance, he had no choice but to drink with Wang Dayuan.
Wang Yi asked with some hesitation: "I heard that Brother Wang has walked through the rivers and lakes before?"
Wang Dayuan's slightly red face showed a trance: "It was a long time ago." ”
"After retiring over the years, I became the dart master of the old club's dart bureau, saved some silver, married a daughter-in-law, and wanted to give birth to a few sons and leave incense, but I gave birth to three girls in a row. This boss is looking to get married, this dowry can't be shabby, at least the daughter's bed will be carved, and the province will be worn in the husband's house when the time comes. ”
Wang Yi said with a smile: "Then Brother Wang is blessed, a son-in-law and a son-in-law." ”
Wang Dayuan put down the wine jug in his hand and said, nodded and thought it was true, his father-in-law has never worried about eating and drinking, and he has been offering all year round.
After chatting a few words, Wang Dayuan felt that Wang Yi, who joined the dart game halfway, was really a little pleasing to the eye, much better than those young people he had seen. The faces of those people who are the children of the big clan are kind, and they turn their heads and don't know how to look down on these people who are dart masters, even if they see it, they are far away, for fear of being contaminated with them.
On the contrary, Wang Yi's few words reached Wang Dayuan's heart, but they were still wary of Wang Yi, after all, they were defenseless against a person they had just met, and Wang Dayuan, who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, couldn't do it.
Wang Yi asked with some curiosity: "Brother Wang came over safely along the way, and the road after that is much easier, right?"
Wang Dayuan sighed, "I have walked this road all the year round, and I have known the bandits and bandits nearby, as long as I pay filial piety money, I will be safe, but this profit is a little less." ”
Wang Yi nodded, this may be what people often say that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
Suddenly, Wang Yi looked at a dark shadow standing in front of him on the mountain road not far from them.
"Huhuhuhu"
Before Wang Yi could think, a voice sounded from all directions. Wang Yi only felt the hairs on his body explode, and a chill rose from the depths of his heart, passing through his limbs and heading straight for Wang Yi's brain.
"What's that?"
Wang Yi gritted his teeth, picked up the wooden stick beside him, and protected him in front of the little beggar and Zhou Liyuan, ready to make a move at any time.
The little beggar woke up from her sleep, looked at everything in front of her, ran to Wang Yi's side with some fear, stretched out her little hand, and grabbed a corner of Wang Yi, she hated the black shadow from the bottom of her heart.
