Fantasy: Starting From Being In A Desperate Situation And Running Around As Escorts

Ningjiang City belongs to Jiangzhou.

Although Jiangzhou was not the largest state in the Tang Dynasty, it was actually the economic lifeline of the imperial court.

The canal that runs through the north and south of the Tang Dynasty passes here, connecting Tianshu to the north and Jiangnan to the south.

The area is rich in natural resources, has dense water networks and convenient transportation.

And because it was located in the easternmost part of the Tang Dynasty, it was far away from the war.

The Tang Dynasty navy was powerful enough to maintain security along the river.

Therefore, merchants from all over the world gathered here and established their own guild halls here, each with its own characteristics.

The number and wide distribution of car dealerships, docks and boat owners are rare in the world.

Boats and boats are stacked with combs, and cart hubs are clustered with scales.

There is a swarm of traders, noisy day and night, and a swarm of fleets, spending the winter and summer.

"Drive!"

The carriage moved slowly through the crowded streets.

Along the way, Xia Hourong's original low mood dissipated a lot.

At this time, my heart is naturally filled with the joy of going home.

He introduced each store in Ningjiang City to Li Changshou one by one.

Li Changshou raised his head slightly from his bamboo hat and looked at this bustling scene.

He couldn't help but think of the tragedy in the small town, and lowered his eyes again.

A bowl of tea from a roadside stall costs three pennies.

Li Changshou parked the carriage aside and said, "Stop and have a bowl of tea."

"Senior brother, what kind of tea are you drinking here? I have all the good tea at my house."

Xia Hourong was eager to go home, but he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Moisten your throat first." Li Changshou asked for two bowls of hot tea.

At this time, the north wind howled.

Snowflakes are floating in the sky, pricking the skin of passers-by like needles

Pedestrians on the road buttoned up their winter coats tightly, put their hands in their pockets, hunched their necks, and walked quickly.

Li Changshou sniffed and drank two large bowls of hot tea.

"After you return home, have you decided how to face your second uncle?" Li Changshou suddenly asked.

Xia Hourong's face froze with joy, and he had to recall these bad things.

“Never be dominated by your own emotions, otherwise you won’t be able to make decisions and act later, and you will often lose your life because of this.

I have told you this before, and I will tell you again today. "

"...I know, thank you, senior brother."

In Donghua Taoist Temple, on the way home, all the hardships these days.

Xia Hourong, who was once unable to carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands, suffered a lot.

Li Changshou's eyes fell on the stall selling roast chicken across the street.

The smell of roast chicken floats everywhere along the wind, making people salivate.

There were many people queuing up there despite the cold wind, and it looked like they wanted to eat a roast chicken today no matter what.

"Go get a roast chicken." Li Changshou threw a silver coin to Xia Hourong.

Xia Hourong advised: "Brother, don't eat it.

Save some room to eat at my house. I have all kinds of delicious food, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish it! "

"When we get to your house, I don't know how long we will have to work on. I'll take care of my stomach first."

"good."

Xia Hourong said nothing more, honestly picked up the piece of silver and ran to the other side of the street to queue up.

The cold wind was biting, and Xia Hourong shrank down.

"Hey, boss, hurry up!"

"That's right, I can't wait."

"..."

Someone urged impatiently.

“Hey, everyone, wait a moment, wait a moment.

I'm really sorry today, my child is sick. My mother-in-law is taking care of me at home and is a little busy. "

The old man selling roast chicken apologized very sincerely while keeping his hands moving.

After waiting for who knows how long, it was finally Xia Hourong's turn.

Xia Hourong trotted back to the tea stall carrying a slightly hot roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper.

"Senior brother...senior brother?"

Xia Hourong looked around and saw that Li Changshou was no longer on the tea stall.

Even the position just now has been taken by someone.

Xia Hourong hurriedly called the waiter, "Where is the person sitting here drinking tea and wearing a bamboo hat just now?"

"He? He's gone." The waiter glanced at Xia Hourong.

"gone!?"

Xia Hourong stared.

"Well, before I leave, let me bring you something..."

The waiter suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words.

Xia Hourong took out a few copper coins from his waist and threw them over.

The waiter caught the coins with a smile on his face.

In fact, Li Changshou had left the reward money before he left, but people like this who are in the market are smart.

"Your friend said that this is the end of the escort trip here. The escort fee has been paid before.

There is a long way to go in the rivers and lakes, but we are destined to meet again. "

Xia Hourong was holding the roast chicken and stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.

"...Jianhu...goodbye."

"Drive! Drive!"

The carriage left the city and drove on the official road covered with wind and snow.

........

A crackling sound echoed through the streets.

The bucket handle returns to Yin, the beginning of the year.

Spring returns to the earth, the cycle begins again, everything is renewed, and a new Samsara begins.

It’s Chinese New Year.

Li Changshou was walking aimlessly on the street while in the army.

People often say that the Chinese New Year has to be savored in one’s hometown, and traveling there is miserable.

By the end of the year, there will only be sighs and sighs.

If there are no parents above, there will be no children below.

That would be even more pitiful.

Li Changshou is such a pitiful person now.

This is a small city located in the north.

Not too rich, but not so poor that there is no place for the poor.

It's pretty good in this world.

After the New Year, the mournful sounds of pigs and sheep being slaughtered can be heard in the streets.

No matter you are rich or poor, you must have a meal of dumplings tonight.

Most of the shops on the street are closed. Even if you are busy making money, you still have to be at home at this time.

Li Changshou put his hands in his sleeves and walked around.

In the end, he had to return to the dilapidated hut where he temporarily lived.

I cut up the pork head I bought earlier and made two more dishes.

A plate of peanuts and a plate of catfish and eggplant stew.

Of course there was also a plate of dumplings stuffed with celery, which the old man loved.

On the only table, food was placed and two glasses of wine were poured.

The cold wind was howling outside, and the stove inside was glowing with heat.

Li Changshou devoured vegetables and hot dumplings.

After eating, he didn't wait to eat.

Then sit cross-legged on the bed and practice your own breathing techniques.

There is no guidance from a famous teacher or a magical Cultivation Technique.

He thought about it bit by bit, but he had nothing to do anyway.

If he doesn't understand any principle, he will temper his body.

Including the blood, meat, tendons, bones, marrow, membranes, and internal organs of the body.

The physical body is the root of everything.

If the physical body is not good enough, there will definitely be a fatal hole in the future.

Li Changshou still understands this truth.

Until the sound of firecrackers sounded again on the second day, until the first and second days of the lunar month ended when visiting relatives and friends, until the lanterns of the temple fair gradually dispersed.

After sitting for three whole days and nights, Li Changshou finally moved and got up from the bed.

He seemed to deliberately immerse himself in this illusory practice and forget about the fact that he was lonely in the days of family reunion.

Li Changshou was weak and had no food or water for three days and nights.

Coupled with the internal breathing techniques, his body was almost stretched to its limit.
