Chapter 60: Intention is good, not intentional is evil
Xiang Bo said that these things were not waiting for Zhu Da’s answer, and Zhu Da didn’t know how to answer them. As for Zhou Qingyun, when this moment came, he took the initiative to hide away.
Everyone was silent and waited for the ox cart to cross the pontoon bridge and set off again.
Zhu Da didn't think that his master spoke too directly to Bo. He was so old and had a master-apprentice relationship. If he was concealed, it would be strange. Zhu Da was also thinking, are he unwilling to be willing to be so poor and at the bottom, but Qin Xiucai didn't say so much. A scholar with ideas and a leader of a county-level private salt organization, but he had to look at the whole world of Daming. Qin Xiucai was not the bottom, but he would not be much higher than the bottom.
But no matter what, the path given by Qin Xiucai is indeed the best opportunity he can seize in front of him.
After Xiang Bo said something heartbroken, he and Zhu Da were silent. Instead, Zhou Qingyun was excited and ran up and down, asking questions. Xiang Bo and Zhu Da had a silent answer.
"Your family is interesting. Brother Zhu is the youngest, but he looks the oldest." The knight escorted him teased.
The knight who was following the car was named Chen Mingli. He was in his early forties and was slightly fat. He liked to squint his eyes and smile, looking friendly. However, the movements of the up and down mounts and the calluses at the tiger's mouth all showed the ability of this person. Although Chen Li had a mount, he did not often ride on the horse. He would lead the horse away for more than half an hour and then ride on the horse for a while, then dismount and walk, and it would repeat itself.
"It's just such a horse. When it's important to use its foot strength, it's better to run quickly. It's better to save energy." When asked why, the knight Chen Li didn't hide his own personal feelings and replied with a smile.
Zhu Da listened carefully and noticed that after Xiang Bo said that, he looked at him from time to time, with a complicated expression. He looked at what he wanted to say several times, but he wanted to say something but stopped.
This time I did not follow the way back, because the ox cart could not walk on the small road by the river. In fact, it was very inconvenient to walk on the official road. After walking in less than two hours, I had been stuck in the pit three times. The old and young started to work together before they pushed the cart out.
The official road is much more lively than the small roads by the river. Tea sheds and vendors can often be seen on the roadside, and even inns. However, there are places with such facilities, either at a fork in the road, or on the back of the village.
Whenever he passed by such a place, Zhu Da would always notice some casual men and slutty looking around, and even had to follow him for a while. Often, Xiang Bo and the knight Chen Li picked up the weapon and put it down before retreating, and even had to ask Zhou Qingyun to practice shooting arrows on the road.
"...It's really not peaceful on the road, there are so many people..." Zhu Da muttered.
Xiang Bo is also the master of walking. He will sit in the ox cart for a moment before walking for an hour. After hearing his words, he said while walking: "It is not peaceful, there are no ones alone on the road, they are even in groups. If they miss the timidity, they will be bitten by someone."
"Brother Zhu, there are no people on the way. Look at the caravan or something. When you enter the city, you are honest and kind-hearted people. If you really don't have to go to the village or the shop behind you, you really dare to make money and kill him. It's just that it's worth it!" Knight Chen Li interrupted with a smile.
"Is there any other kingly law?" Zhou Qingyun couldn't stand it.
"There are not many people who know the king's law. I'm afraid that the people in the government and the garrison do not know much. Don't just look at those idle gangsters. There are more than three groups of people staring at our wealth along the way, but they just saw that they resigned and retreated!" Chen Li said.
Zhu Da was shocked and subconsciously looked at Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo nodded and said that Chen Li was right. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were both afraid and incredible on their faces. There was already a spy staring at him just now, so why didn't he notice it at all?
Seeing the expressions of the two teenagers, Chen Li laughed and continued to give in: "The idle gangsters take advantage of the situation. Those who really dare to kill and rob, must be careful of others. How dare you make such a bold move? The vendors and shops on the roadside have their own eyes. It seems that it is easy to do something but difficult to do. This is the trick in the world, and you can't understand it now."
Xiang Bo and Chen Li both looked relaxed as if nothing had happened, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun became nervous. The two of them looked around in and out of the car, looking at the coming and going businesses and traveling like thieves. Their performance made Xiang Bo and Chen Li couldn't help but laugh.
This common sense deepened Zhu Da's judgment. This is really a jungle society where the strong prey on the weak. Both the king and the rules are on the surface, and his own self-reliance judgment is not wrong.
Be careful, but nothing happened along the way. Later, we could even see some peace and prosperity. There were many businessmen with smiles on their faces, but some changes began to change at dusk. The pedestrians on the road became very fast, and those on the road were still a little anxious.
"If you want to walk outside in the future, remember to avoid walking on the night road. Before dark, you must find a place to stay. At night, all the bandits and other bandits are coming out. Leopards and wolves are not easy to mess with." Xiang Bo taught his own experience.
Chen Li had no longer relaxed during the day. He led the horse back and forth to observe carefully, and added in a muffled voice: "Be careful when staying in a hotel or staying in a hotel. You are a foreigner, and you will have to be a family member to report to the official after dying outside for at least half a month. Who can know if you bury it in the field? It is easier for residents and shop owners to attack than forcing them."
Zhou Qingyun had already held the bow and arrow in his hand and said with discomfort: "There is no place to be at ease in the world."
His words made Xiang Bo and Chen Li shook their heads and laughed. Xiang Bo said, "As long as you are careful and others will not attack when they see you are prepared. Then he is a good person, but if you have to be careless and make others feel that it is easy to do it, then he is a bad person."
Zhu Da understood this sentence, but Zhou Qingyun seemed to understand it. Xiang Bo also saw the reaction of the two and shook his head with emotion.
The road that is really difficult to walk is the official road to Baibao Village. This road is bumpy and difficult to walk. It is completely pressing on the ruts left by the past. It stops from time to time and asks everyone to push or move.
However, the ox cart's foot strength was very useful. When the sun set and the sky was not over, Zhu Da and his group entered Baibao Village. As soon as they entered the village, the knight Chen Li was surprised.
"The rules in your village are very decent!"
I walked through several villages along the way, only Baibao Village had a decent soil circumference, and I could see people watching the night watch. And when their group approached, the wall was still ringing. Of course, after getting close, it became quiet after recognizing the person.
After returning from the bustling Zheng Family, looking at the Baibao Village again, you can feel that poverty has been magnified by ten times a hundred times, but Zhu Da felt very friendly. He thought to himself that this might be the feeling of "home".
Before we could sigh for too long, everyone found that Baibao Village was much more lively than when we left. Although everyone came out to see the lively atmosphere of Zhu Da and Xiang Bo, there were also many more people watching the fun than before. If you carefully distinguish it, you could find that the thirty people who drew Ding to the Qianhu House of Huairen were back.
After a casual question, Huairen Qianhu Institute said that the Tartars outside the border had returned, so there was no need to be so many people busy. They just put everyone back without continuing to rotate.
Calculate the days, the time to release everyone was just before and after the bandits were wiped out. As for the fact that the Tartars were not in danger, it was a joke. The day when they were released, the war was still very conspicuous in the sky.
Zhu Da's sneer appeared on his face, and he really made himself say it. He was drawing the Ding Zhuang from various villages just to make the bandits better. Now that this method has failed, he is too lazy to do these superficial articles.
"These people in the Wei Dynasty are really... really..." Xiang Bo muttered a few words. He didn't know what to describe. Zhu Da turned around and looked at Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo just shook his head and sighed. The villagers watching all saw the goods on the ox cart, and also saw Chen Li wearing a strong suit, riding a horse and a knife. Many people were talking in a low voice, with envy and jealous expressions on their faces.
Chen Li didn't know what they were talking about, but Chen Li had his own business to do. He got on the horse and shouted loudly, "My master went on battle with Master Xiang back then, but he was saved by Master Xiang. It happened that this time he met, so he specially asked the little one to send some food and money to come."
The crowd around exclaimed, and the discussion became louder. Zhu Da noticed that the expressions on the villagers' faces were much calmer, leaving only envy.
"People who have read books have a lot of thoughts." Xiang Bo sighed behind him, and Zhu Da also agreed with this sentence. It is difficult for small villages to hide anything from each other. Xiang Bo will definitely be seen by many people when he comes back with these wealth. He will inevitably be envious, jealous and hateful, causing a lot of trouble. At that time, this wealth will not be a benefit, but will become the root cause of harm, and may even cause trouble for the official.
However, when Chen Li shouted like this, everyone knew that there was cause and effect, so they could feel relieved. With the title of "master" in the call, God knows whether this master is an official, and that he has a backer. Thinking of this, everyone would not dare to show it even if they were dirty and pickled. After all, they had to think about the consequences.
As we arrived at Xiang’s house, the cart stopped in front of the door, Xiang Bo greeted the knight Chen Li and the ox carriage driver for dinner, arranged for Zhu Da to cook, and arranged for Zhou Qingyun to invite Zhu Da’s parents to come. Before that, everyone moved the things in together.
It was hard for someone to escort the goods, but Xiang Bo took out all the inventory at home, including fish, meat and wine, which seemed very rich. The coachman and Chen Li were both happy to eat and drink.
But Zhu Da's father Zhu Shitou and mother Zhu Wang did not meet these two people. Xiang Bo arranged them to another room, allowing Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to come, which was piled with grain cloths and other things sent.
"We two of us are half of these!" Xiang Bo said straight to the point.
The Zhu couple were blinded. They had seen so many wealth, fine grains, cloth, sheep, chickens and ducks, groceries, as well as the basket of copper coins and several silver ingots on them. For them, they felt panicked when they saw Xiang Bo said this, and they were even more shocked and waved their hands and said, "How can they not be used!"
"What can't be done? These are not given to you by the old man, but by your Zhu Da's ability, just take them back." Xiang Bo said impatiently.
It was actually Zhu Da’s credit? His son’s ability is getting bigger and bigger... The Zhu family’s parents were a little stunned and couldn’t react for a moment. Xiang Bo frowned and said, “This is all a small matter, there are still big things to say!”
