The happy life of a prodigal

"Thank you all."

He thought for a moment, but still did not refuse, and stepped forward to accept these things one by one.

Eggs, wild vegetables, rabbits...

No matter what, as long as it is for yourself, it is all in your hand.

"In fact, even without me, sooner or later you will find that crayfish are edible, I just told you in advance.

And the reason why you can have the life you have now is the result of your own hard work. If you didn't work hard to catch crayfish, even if you know that crayfish can be eaten, what's the use?

So, to be honest, I feel ashamed of you for being like this...

I won't say much else. I follow His Majesty's order to inspect the Central Plains Road. The road is far away and it is not convenient to stop here.

Just one word, everyone, thank you! "

After finishing speaking, he took a step back, bowed slightly, turned around and stepped into the carriage.

These farmers are honest people.

Their way of thinking is simple.

If you treat me well, I will naturally treat you well.

Although there is no kindness of dripping water, it means to repay each other with a spring, but it is almost equivalent to repaying virtue with kindness.

They are very appreciative of Xin'anbo's achievements and the help they have given to farmers like them.

Therefore, seeing people like Xin Amber so approachable, and so...amiable, everyone feels extremely moved.

Seeing the scene of Xin Amber bowing slightly, some people even had red eyes and almost shed tears.

On the side, Bai Xiaochun sat on the horse, seeing this scene, his expression became a little strange.

It was the first time he had seen the young master act in such a way.

If it were in the past, or in the city of Kyoto, when facing such flattering people, they would just accept the things, and then send them away with a casual sentence.

This is still good, like the Nanyang businessman back then.

After presenting so many gold, silver and jewels, plus a plant of 'Wannian Ginseng', in the end it was nothing more than a sentence of 'Get out'.

However, a few wild eggs, some poor-looking wild vegetables, and a small hare made the young master bow slightly, and even said "thank you all" which he had never heard before.

It's just...incomprehensible.

What is even more incomprehensible is that the performance of these farmers is just to earn some silver taels. Is there such gratitude?

Standing on this road all the time, those who don't know thought what happened here.

After a while, when Fang Xiu sat firmly in the carriage, the guards of the army immediately stepped forward, looked at them, and said loudly: "My lord has to hurry, everyone, let's go... "

"It's all gone, gone!"

Although these peasants can't read a few words, they are all sensible people. Hearing what the guards said, they dispersed one after another, stood on the side of the road, watched Fang Xiu's carriage, and said loudly: "Xin'anbo, the journey is long. , pay attention to safety!"

"Xin Amber must take care of yourself!"

"..."

The voices of these farmers were extremely loud, and the carriage had been moving forward for a minute or two before the voices gradually weakened.

Sitting on the carriage, Fang Xiu stared blankly at the eggs, wild vegetables and hares in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

He thought that he would be able to be at ease after rebirth.

In fact, his purpose has always been the same, because of the "brain disease" set by the Imperial Medical Bureau, he should follow his own heart in everything he does.

Do what you want to do, and do what you don't want to do.

But......

As time goes on, such days seem to become more and more boring, more and more boring, more and more uninteresting.

Sometimes, he himself would think, is this kind of life really what he wants?

Now, think about it, I do a lot of things, but I do very few things...

Hey......

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu felt a little disturbed, lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and asked, "How much silver do you have with you?"

He was covered with banknotes, and he didn't have any broken silver, so he could only ask Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun thought for a while, and replied: "The little one brought five taels of broken silver, do you want to use it, young master?"

Fang Xiu nodded and ordered: "You send someone back and pay for the eggs, wild vegetables and hares, young master, what I dislike the most is taking other people's things for no reason.

well, let's go! "

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, his expression became a little strange, and he thought to himself: Taking other people's things for no reason...in other words, robbing, isn't this your favorite thing to do, young master?

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it out, I just responded: "Yes, young master!"

Fang Xiu put down the car curtain, looked at the real souvenirs in front of him, and fell into deep thought again.

only......

This time, he was not as upset as before.

Because he has figured out some things.

I really want to live a carefree life, but there is no necessary connection between doing something for the people of Chu and living a carefree life.

On the contrary, the more entangled you are, the more you feel constrained, it is better to follow your own mind and do what you want, instead of looking forward and backward.

So what if you run into some trouble?

I am a person suffering from 'brain disease'!

Chapter 5 and Seven

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day since I left the capital.

During these five days, the team hardly stopped except for the necessary rest time.

Of course, for Fang Xiu, resting on the carriage is also a rest.

Although it is bumpier than sitting in the house, it is much better than riding a horse.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Xiu and his party arrived at the edge of Gyeonggi in just five days.

Going a little further, you will arrive at Shizhou on Zhongyuan North Road.

Getting there is part of the mission.

It is said that it is to inspect the Central Plains Road, but after all, you can only inspect the Central Plains Road.

"Master, Du Ming's Mansion in Shizhou is just ahead. Shall we find a place to rest for a while?"

Fang Xiu was reading the story book, and while he was sipping tea, Bai Xiaochun outside the car window came closer and asked.

Arrived in Shizhou so soon?

Fang Xiu felt a little surprised, thought for a while, and ordered: "Okay, just find a place, replenish your energy, and feed the horses some food. It's getting dark, and try to get to Fucheng before dark."

"Yes, Master!"

Bai Xiaochun responded, and then gave some instructions to the guards of the army.

Immediately, the guards left the convoy and went ahead to explore the way.

It took less than a stick of incense to find a teahouse that could feed the horses.

The size of the teahouse is small, barely able to accommodate dozens of people.

There is a stable in the backyard, which is also small in size, and it seems very crowded with so many horses squeezed in at once.

There are too many horses, and the mangers are not enough at all, so some horses that arrived later can only be wronged and fed to the fodder in batches.

Generally speaking, things like feeding the horses are helped by the guys in the teahouse.

But in order to ensure the safety of the horses, or to put it bluntly, to prevent someone from drugging the horses, the horses were fed by the guards themselves along the way.

Of course, no matter what, Fang Xiu couldn't be responsible for these drudgery.

At this moment, he was sitting in the teahouse, eating the snacks and tea brought by the shopkeeper.

There are only five tables in the teahouse, and there are not many benches.

There are 22 people, excluding the two who feed the horses, they can barely sit down after a squeeze.

"Son, have a pot of hot tea, and some snacks..."

Not long after Fang Xiu and the others sat down, a voice came from outside the door.

This voice is a bit strange, not as rough and hoarse as a man's voice, but not as clear or gentle as a woman's voice.

and......

When Fang Xiu listened, he always felt a little familiar, as if he had heard this voice somewhere before.

Of course... it's most likely just an illusion.

After all, this is Shizhou, which is already out of the scope of Gyeonggi, and it is very far away from the capital. If there are no horses, it may take more than half a month just to walk.

And since he came to this world, he has never left the capital, how could he meet any acquaintances here.

"This objective, it's really unfortunate. The shop is full today, why don't you stand inside and wait for a while?"

At this time, the little guy in the teahouse greeted him, and laughed along with him.

"It's okay if it's full, I won't sit down, just eat something."

After the newcomer finished speaking, he had already walked into the teahouse.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes subconsciously and looked at the speaker.

After seeing the figure of the person who spoke, he suddenly felt that the whole person was not well...

Of course, the moment the speaker stepped into the teahouse, he had already seen him and stopped in his tracks.

After only stopping for a moment, he returned to his normal state, continued to walk forward, stood in front of the counter, and said to the waiter: "I don't want hot tea, just a warmer pot of tea is fine, hurry up for snacks, after eating, My son still has to hurry."

Seeing this scene, the guy naturally didn't say anything more, and responded: "Okay, sir, wait here, the little one will come as soon as he goes!"

After speaking, go to the backyard.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu stood up, picked up a plate of cakes on the table, and a pot of tea, walked to the side of the speaker, stood with him, and said: "Brother Tai is so handsome, I don't know if it is Which family's son, who is the last name, can you make a friend with me?"

Zhao Yan, who was disguised as a man, was immediately annoyed when she heard this, and subconsciously glared at him, suppressed her anger, and said coldly: "I am a member of the world, and my name is just a title, it doesn't matter if I don't know it.

As for friends...sorry, I don't like small talk with people I don't know well. "

Seeing this, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face and said: "Okay, brother Tai has a real temperament, I admire you.

Since you don't like small talk, why don't we have something to eat together? "

After speaking, he put the teapot and cakes in his hand in front of Zhao Yan, and continued: "I heard Xiongtai's accent, it doesn't seem like he is from Du Mingfu, but he looks like someone from the capital.

To be honest, I also came from the capital, I don't know where my brother is going, if I want to go with me, so we can take care of each other on the way. "

Zhao Yan glanced at the cakes on the table, but didn't want to eat them at first.

But along the way, I didn't bump into any taverns or teahouses. I finally encountered such a one, and I was already hungry.

The guy from before had obviously gone to make pastries, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

So, he picked up a piece of plum cake, took a bite, and replied: "I'm not from the capital, but I lived in the capital for a while when I was young, so I brought some with me when I talked.

As for where to go... this is Du Ming's Mansion, so the place I'm going to is naturally also Du Ming's Mansion. "

When Fang Xiu heard this, he wanted to laugh.

Especially when she saw her answering herself in a serious manner, it was even more interesting.

It has to be said that Zhao Yan's ability to disguise herself as a man is still passable, at least she looks like a fair-faced handsome young man.

However, as long as you observe carefully, you can still see obvious loopholes, such as... Adam's apple.

Therefore, for most of the people who walk the rivers and lakes, it is just a glance to see that she is disguised as a man, but she still pretends to be vigorous.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu still didn't expose her, and asked again: "Then why did Xiongtai come to Du Ming's mansion?"

Zhao Yan has been hungry for most of the day, and finally got something to eat, so she gobbled it up naturally.
