Chen Sanlang took Ye Rongtong to Dongting Lake, originally wanting to find a quieter place to talk, but everywhere he went, people came and went. I saw that the reeds by the lake had been cut down, and the rows of people by the water were fishing, and they were noisy, and they were not afraid to disturb the fish to take the bait.

Seeing this, Chen Sanlang didn't bother to leave, so he stood still.

Ye Rongtong was worried about something, and hurriedly asked: "Daoyuan, where are you from?"

He was quite puzzled in his heart: after the palace test was completed, all the jinshi scattered their things and returned to their hometowns. As the champion, Chen Sanlang should have stayed in Beijing, and he was just around the corner. Unexpectedly, he was finally ordered by Qin and returned to Jing County as a county order.

The county order is a real job, the number one, but compared to staying in Beijing, it is not a good choice. After all, the land of the capital is the best choice for official careers. And it is too difficult for the county order to be promoted, and I don't know how many years and favors I have to suffer.

Chen Sanlang was in Jing County, and he was targeted by Yuan Wenchang everywhere, and although Ye Rongtong was in Yangzhou, it was inconvenient to come and visit him. Later, it was Chen Sanlang who was forced to leave.

When Ye Rongtong heard the news, he sighed.

After a farewell for many years, and now we are reunited, no matter the overall situation of the world, or the personal situation is different from the past, the current Ye Rongtong is full of things, suffering from gains and losses, and only hopes to hear some good news.

"We're from Yongzhou!"

Chen Sanlang said.

"Yongzhou ......"

Ye Rongtong's heart suddenly cooled by half.

It can be said that Yongzhou is the first state in the world to be in turmoil, suffering from the invasion of barbarian troops, thousands of miles of terracotta, and the people are struggling to make a living. At that time, many refugees were displaced and scattered. Many of them fled to Yangzhou.

For these, Ye Rongtong knows everything. He also talked with several Yongzhou refugees, and learned from them about the brutal acts of the barbarian army, and he was so frightened that he had nightmares that night.

In this way, Chen Sanlang and the others must have gone to Yongzhou in desperation, and then they couldn't stay any longer, and now they have run back......

But the good news is that with them, Ye Rongtong at least doesn't have to worry about being bullied again.

Chen Sanlang looked at him and said, "Brother Lotus Tong, do you want to go to Yongzhou?"

"Ahh

Ye Rongtong was surprised: "Go to Yongzhou, isn't it chaotic over there?"

Chen Sanlang said with a smile: "It has already been calmed down, the barbarian king Shi Po's army has been defeated and died, and Yongzhou is very safe now." You haven't heard from you for so long?"

"There are some similar rumors, but I don't dare to believe it. ”

Ye Rongtong replied.

In this era, information has always been lagging and closing, and there are multiple versions of the same thing circulating, true and false, and there is no distinction between truth and falsehood.

Chen Sanlang said curiously: "But when I came over there, I saw that many people had fled. ”

It is also ironic to say that when Yongzhou was in turmoil, the people inside desperately fled out;

Ye Rongtong smiled bitterly: "There are people who go, but I'd rather stay more, after all, everyone doesn't know what the real situation is." ”

What he said is the truth, people's hearts are the same, the two ends of the first rat, if it passes, it is not like that at all, and it is impossible to come back. It's better to stay in Dongting and barely survive.

After a pause, Ye Rongtong asked: "Brother Daoyuan, Yongzhou has really settled down?"

Chen Sanlang smiled: "What's the use of me telling you?"

"Then why did you come to Dongting?"

"Well, come out and do something, and when you're done, you'll go back. ”

Ye Rongtong scratched his face and suddenly asked, "San Lang, are you an official in Yongzhou?"

Chen Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Almost." ”

Saying this, Ye Rongtong immediately sighed: "No wonder." ”

Chen Sanlang said: "Brother Lotus Tong, with your talent, how can you be willing to fall here? When you arrive in Yongzhou, you may be able to get new opportunities." ”

Hearing him say this, Ye Rongtong's heart gradually warmed up: Yes, who is willing to be a beggar? He is called and drunk every day, and he doesn't even want dignity for three meals a day? What's more, he is a serious scholar and a scholar.

After thinking about it, there was a difficulty, and he muttered: "But if I go rashly like this, people may not pay attention to ......."

Chen Sanlang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry about this, I know some people over there, I can write a letter of recommendation for you to bring over, I have my own arrangements." ”

Hearing this, Ye Rongtong was overjoyed.

Chen Sanlang didn't procrastinate, and immediately asked Xiao An to take the four treasures of the study, and he spread it out on the spot, wrote a letter, and handed it to Ye Rongtong.

Ye Rongtong was grateful, looking at the pen and ink in the corner of his eyes, and he looked happy to see the hunt - it was said that he hadn't held a pen for a long time. The paper, pen and inkstone brought out were sold out early and turned into a stomach.

Chen Sanlang said again: "At the moment, Ah Feng is injured, and it is difficult for you to take care of it alone. In this case, I'll let Xiao An escort you over. ”

"Really? That's ......"

Ye Rongtong was grateful, and immediately took a long look, bowed down, and refused to get up for a long time.

"Childe, I'm leaving, who will take care of you?"

Xiao An was reluctant. When he went out, he was instructed by Xu Jun to take care of Chen Sanlang's daily life and diet. If it's gone, then no one will do it.

Chen Sanlang said indifferently: "It's okay, you just have to go." ”

"But ......"

"Xiao An, you don't listen to me?"

"Don't dare!"

Chen Sanlang's face straightened, and Xiao An quickly bowed his head: for his son, he was respectful, afraid and admired.

Chen Sanlang advised: "Xiao An, remember, get a carriage first and take Ye Gongzi and them away." You'll have to take care of the road, you know?"

Xiao An hurriedly said: "Don't worry, son, I will definitely do it properly." ”

Due to Ah Feng's broken leg injury, it dragged on for a long time, and the injury backlogged and gradually worsened. Fortunately, he is in good health and can hold on. Xiao An Liu's medical skills helped him reconnect the bones and fix them with wooden boards. In fact, for Ye Rongtong and A Feng, what they most desire and need at present is food, malnutrition, resulting in thin face and poor health.

Xiao An carried a lot of dried food and dried meat, and immediately took it out under Chen Sanlang's instructions, found a relatively clean place and began to clean up, wash a pot, boil water to cook soup. Xu Nianniang left and came back not long after, holding a big fish in her hand, two feet long, which had been slaughtered.

Xiao An was clever with his hands and feet, and quickly cooked the rice, and cooked a large pot of fish soup, because of the oil, salt and other seasonings, so the color and flavor are complete, and the ordinary things that are eaten casually are like mud, one in the sky and one in the ground. Besides, it's right next to the lake, but as the population grows, so does the chance of catching a fish.

Many people haven't eaten fish for a long time.

When the fragrance spreads, many people smell the wind and watch, constantly swallowing saliva. However, they knew that Chen Sanlang and his party had just defeated the Dongting Gang, and they must not be provoked, otherwise, they would have rushed up to grab food.

The eyes of the hungry master and servant of Ye Rongtong began to glow green, and when they finally waited until they could eat, they immediately devoured it.

When eating fragrant white rice, Ye Rongtong, a talented Jinshi, couldn't hold it, and tears kept dripping down: "It's delicious, it's delicious......"
