Chapter 173: Border Wasteland

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines through the trees on the uneven mountain road, and a horse-drawn carriage is walking on the mountain road. The driver was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old offspring, but his face was black and red, and only one mouthful of teeth were snow-white.

This Hou Sheng unscrewed the kettle again and took a sip of water, and he said more in half a day today than in the past half a month. It was all because it was a young scholar who took the temporary ride. This scholar is white and pure, at first glance, he has never been out, and he has been studying at home for a long time, so that he can raise such a pair of fine skin and tender meat, and he can boast in front of such a scholar, and the young man feels full of energy when he thinks about it.

The old people in the village often nag to themselves: Scholars are expensive, and everything is inferior, but only reading is high. Scholars don't go out, they can know the world. As for the other books, there is a golden house, and there is a beautiful jade in the book, and Gu Yu has forgotten it after hearing it.

When Gu Yu was born, his grandfather asked his father to ask the only reading gentleman in the town to give a name, and it happened that it was raining lightly outside, and his father disliked to walk more than ten miles of dirt roads, so he said: "Today is the season of Gu Yu, and the sky is raining, our family is surnamed Gu, so let's call Gu Yu." His grandfather, who didn't care too much, didn't insist anymore, so the name Gu Yu was decided.

When Gu Yu grew up to be a teenager, he was different from his grandfather and his father, and he didn't want to dig in the soil, so he entrusted a distant cousin to find a job to catch a car. Although it is also a lowly job, he can earn five taels of silver every month, which is less than five taels of silver compared to the grain grown by his peers in the village who have worked hard for a year. Gu Yu consciously became a master in the village.

He was secretly proud in his heart: "What about Li Shuwen who is studying in the village? After studying hard for so many years, I haven't seen the Golden House, nor have I seen Qian Zhongsu, so I can't help it." The most beautiful lady in the village, Du Juan, was originally the closest to him, and he didn't often visit his house in the past two years. At the end of this year, let my father ask someone to go to the cuckoo's house to propose marriage, and then bring two pigs, ten big roosters, and fifty taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu showed a smug smile, and even the water in his mouth became sweeter and sweeter.

He put down the kettle after drinking the water, and continued to boast to the scholar: "Childe, don't look at us, we are only twenty years old, we have been running on this line for five years, and no coachman who has run this line in the past five years has not been robbed, and our carriage has never had an accident. ”

Wei Li listened carefully to the young man's boasting, and echoed with a smile: "That's the big brother, you are in luck." ”

Gu Yu smiled: "Son, you read a lot, but don't believe the words in the book." The reason why no one dares to rob my carriage is because I inadvertently rescued an old man, who is a big man among the desolate people, if he hadn't spoken out, how could I not have been robbed?"

Wei Li's face has changed slightly, not the disguise technique used, but the slight adjustment of his facial muscles, so that his face has removed the trace of masculinity, and his expression is softer, plus he is wearing a scholar's uniform, and the true qi of his whole body is hidden in the Naxu acupoint, if it is seen by outsiders, he is a white-faced scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken.

Wei Li saw that Gu Yu was bragging all the way about how majestic he was in the village, and how the little lady named Du Juan in the village loved to listen to his stories about walking outside. Now when I heard him talk about Bian Huangji, I took the opportunity to ask: "Big brother, do you know the distribution of concentrated forces in the border wasteland, and the younger brother went to the border wasteland to find relatives, and now his eyes are black, and there are some drums in his heart!"

Gu Yu said with a smile: "It's not that I'm scaring you, I'll advise Gongzi to turn back as soon as possible, if you enter the border wilderness, with Gongzi's physique, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will appear in a ravine." ”

Wei Li said in disbelief: "Isn't there a royal law in the Bian Huangji?"

Gu Yu said with a smile: "Bian Huangji is a place where there is no royal law, whether it is the Qin State in the west or the Wudi City in the north, even our people in Dachu have to follow the rules of Bian Huangji as long as they enter Bian Huangji." ”

Wei Li said curiously: "What are the rules of the Bian Huangji?"

Gu Yu said with a smile: "The rules of Bian Huangji are that there are no rules, whoever has a big fist will follow whom's rules." ”

Wei Li was speechless: "Isn't that going to be a big mess?"

Gu Yu said with a smile: "Bian Huangji is such a place, and there are two things that are staged every day, killing and being killed, I really don't understand why a person like you would go to such a place." ”

Wei Li shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I can't live at home anymore, I have to come to a distant relative, if I don't have to do it, who wants to come to this place." ”

Gu Yu sighed: "Who said it wasn't? Childe, let me tell you, there are currently three forces in the Bian Huangji, one of which calls itself "Qin Feng", from the broken nobles of the Qin State, these people have a good kung fu, the leader is said to be a master of the innate immortal realm, this group of people operates the largest Qinglou industry in the Bian Huang, it is said to be called the "Golden Building", the building is all Qin State Xiaoniang, everyone wears golden clothes, it is said that the clothes are thin and can see the moles on the skin, Childe, have you ever seen such clothes?

Wei Li shook his head when he saw his yearning look, Gu Yu said with relief: "I'll just say it, the Golden Mansion is known as the prince in and out of the eunuch, and every day he has to disperse his daughter, how can the prince have been there?"

"The second force is the local forces, calling themselves "desolate", they operate all the inns and restaurants in the border wasteland, no one dares to mess with them in the set, and after the son goes, find an inn opened by the "desolate man", as long as you stay in it and don't come out, no one dares to touch you. ”

"The third force is the gang of wild wolves composed of bandits who cannot survive in various countries and wanted criminals who offend the powerful, these people run all the casinos and act most unscrupulously, so you must be careful. ”

Wei Li smiled: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Gu Yu said with a smile: "I have summed up a truth over the years, I rely on my parents at home and my friends when I go out, so I should make more friends and be kind to others when I go out." ”

Wei Li gave a thumbs up and smiled: "This is really a great philosophy of life. ”

Gu Yu said: "When I was a child, my father always wanted me to study, thinking that reading is the only way to be productive, let me say that only people who are productive or not, who cares if they are reading or not?"

Wei Li smiled: "That's the reason, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from!"

Gu Yu said: "But I still admire a scholar like you, Gongzi, you didn't despise me along the way, unlike the Li Shuwen in my village, I don't read well, and I always feel superior." ”

Wei Li smiled without saying a word, and the car just took him into the border wasteland. (To be continued.) )
