Dihao's civilian life

The return trip was not as tortuous as it was when we came here. There was heavy rain and a broken leg. The journey was sunny and smooth.The wooden cart originally used to carry pottery, but this trip only carried Yusu, which was much easier than pushing a cart full of pottery and food utensils when we came.Mang and Mao took turns pushing wooden carts, and Tai Dong chatted with Yu Su beside the cart, talking about what happened to Yu Su in the past few days, and learned that Si Hao really took good care of him, he had fish and turtles to eat, roast chicken, and There are rice in bamboo tubes and baked omelets. It's a pretty good day.Tai Dong said: "I have long seen that he is not simple, such a good place, let him occupy it."

Tai Dong was talking about Luoyu Hill. He was a pottery dealer, and he could tell that Luoyu Hill was in a very good location, but he didn't know that Luoyu Hill was an altar, so there were shepherds nearby who knew it existed, but they didn't dare to move there. Si Hao didn't shy away from it at all.

Yu Su didn't tell Tai Dong that Si Hao had some unusual features, such as bronze knives, chopsticks and daggers, and her living habits were not like that of a shepherd, who took a bath every day.He vaguely felt that telling these things out might be bad for Si Hao, but he couldn't tell why.

Hearing his brother-in-law complimenting Sihao, Yu Su smiled slightly. He looked back, blocking the stream and forest. The lonely hill of falling feathers had disappeared in the forest and could not be seen again.

A group of four people came to the courtyard of Muzheng's house before dark. The servants in the courtyard recognized Tai Dong and hurried to report to Muzheng. They were very familiar with Tai Dong, an old guest.

"Dong Tao, where are you delaying, this morning..." Mu Zheng walked out of the house and saw Yu Su on the wooden cart, "How is his injury?"

Tai Dong said, "It's almost done."

He was not surprised that Muzheng knew that he had heard from Yu Su that Ren Fang and Shu went to Luoyuqiu to collect sheep.

Yu Su sat on the wooden cart and bowed to Mu Zheng. Mu Zheng asked him, "Son, you hurt your leg the first time you traveled far. Do you dare to come next time?" Yu Su nodded lightly. Twice, Mu Zheng laughed.

Mang helped Yu Su out of the car, and Yu Su took a wooden crutch and was about to walk on his own. At this moment, someone tore off the corner of his clothes. He lowered his head and saw Ren Jia standing beside him, smiling at him. A small bird he was holding unfolded slowly, and said to Yu Su: "Su, bird."

She showed her "pet" to Yu Su. She was very playful, and the bird she was holding in her hand was a young bird with not yet grown feathers, which looked a bit ugly.

At night, Mu Zheng entertained Tai Dong and Yu Su as usual. At the banquet, Tai Dong asked Mu Zheng about Sihao. He heard Yu Su say that he was an orphan and had no brothers or sisters. He was alone.

Muzheng replied indifferently: "Jihao came to Jiaoshan in the spring and had no orphans to rely on, so he came to my place to herd herds and find a way to make a living."

Ren Fang listened to his father's words with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but it was not obvious that the relationship between the father and son did not seem to be very good.Yu Su listened carefully to the conversation, the meat soup in front of him was steaming, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked a little sad in the heat.

"He is really a commendable person." Tai Dong did not hesitate to praise him. He travels around all the year round and deals with people. He especially attaches great importance to a "trust". It is not easy for Si Hao to be honest and keep his promises at a young age.

"He's poor in food and use, but it's making your little brother suffer." Mu Zheng quietly changed the subject, and he looked at Yu Su with an unpredictable expression.

Yu Su didn't interrupt, he thought he could hear more about Si Hao from Mu Zheng, but he knew what Mu Zheng said.He thought that Muzheng probably knew Si Hao's uncle, so he let Si Hao come here to herd sheep.It is difficult for an outsider, especially a teenager, to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar place.

In the middle of the night, Tai Dong and Yu Su spent the night at Muzheng's house, and left early the next morning.

Due to the inconvenience of Yu Su's mobility, Ren Fang drove Yu Su and Tai Dong to Huludu in a carriage, and Tai Dong's two servants carried a wooden cart and followed closely behind.This was Yu Su's first time riding in a carriage, which was quite novel to him.In Yu Su's perception, people with carriages are at least the great nobles living in the palace city.Although Muzheng and Rengao did not live in Miyagi, he was also a great nobleman. He was the ruler of the herdsmen, and he had the duties of transporting goods to Renyi and providing horses for Renjun. No wonder his family had a carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Tai Dong looked at Ren Fang who was driving in front of him, thinking that Yu Su hurt his leg and didn't go to Chenglun City, so the trip was not in vain. He gained knowledge and got to know the powerful.Tai Dong forgot to worry about how Yu Su would explain to his mother-in-law and wife when he returned home with a leg injury.

Yu Su was in the car, listening to the wind blowing in his ears, and admiring the magnificent scenery of Jiaoshan Mountain, he realized that this return trip was the one that best suited the journey described by Bingsou, with an unrestrained mind and a panoramic view of mountains and rivers.Horse-drawn carriages allow the nobles to go farther and have a wider field of vision. Most people, with their feet in the dust, struggle on the road, and they will never feel such comfort and freedom throughout their lives.

"The Gourd Ferry is ahead, I will put you down here." Ren Fang reined in his horse, turned his head and said to Tai Dong and Yu Su.

"Thank you Fang." Yu Su saluted in the car.

"Thanks to Fang's help, otherwise we would still be on the way." Tai Dong got out of the car and bowed.

"You're welcome. When will Dongtao come back this time?"

"Two months later, I will go again." Tai Dong is not the only pottery seller in Yudi, but he has a wide network, so he earns a lot of money.Others sell pottery twice a year, but he sells it four times a year.

Tai Dong helped Yu Su get out of the car, and when he looked back, the figures of two servants had appeared not far away. Their wooden car was empty, without any burden, and their legs and feet were convenient.

"I'm going back now. Be careful on your way." Ren Fang bowed in the carriage and drove away.

Tai Dong and Yu Su cupped their hands to say goodbye, and stood on the side of the road to see them off. Tai Dong thought, not to mention, Ren Fang is really a good person, and he was unfamiliar with him in the past. Next time I go to Muzheng's house, I have to bring him something thing.

The dust rising up in front cleared away, and the carriage disappeared in front of his eyes. Tai Dong said enviously: "I heard that his carriage was made by Di Ren, and it cost a lot of money. I want one too. I don't know when it will be available."

Tai Dong was just a pottery dealer, even if he spent all his wealth, he couldn't make such a carriage, it was too expensive.This is not just money for building carts, there must be a groom to raise horses, a charioteer to hire, and a wheeler to repair the carriage.

Yu Su asked: "Brother-in-law, is the carriage made by Di Ren the best?"

"Di's man-made car is good, but the best car is the Rong people's car, which is durable and spacious, and auspicious gold and jade are adorned on the body, tsk tsk, it is the car of the monarch." It is Tai Dong who is everywhere. The pottery vendor who left, he only heard about the Rong people, and he only traveled in three places in Ren and Yumen, and had never been to Di Rong's territory.

Mang and Mao came, and the four of them went to the water, and saw a boat parked in the distance, which was the boat of Feng's family.Feng Chuan was on the boat, waving at them, Feng Kui stood beside him.

Fengkui's boat always arrives on time, and they have made appointments with Tai Dong for a few days, and within a few days, the wind and rain also sailed.Boarding the boat home, seeing Feng Chuan and his son, Yu Su was very happy. At this time, he was very homesick and wanted to go back to Yucheng.

The sails were beating, and the boat swung to the gourd ferry. Yu Su stood at the stern, looking at the gradually receding river bank. He felt that when he came to Jiaoshan, it was still blank in his heart, but now there is a figure in his heart.

The boat sailed for half a day, crossed Renshui, and arrived in Yudi. Yusu followed the crowd, full of joy, through the forest north of Yucheng, and saw the wooden bridge leading to Yucheng.Presumably, mother and elder sister have long been looking forward to it in the courtyard.

**

At noon, Si Hao returned to Luoyu Hill. He climbed the mountain path, raised his head, and looked into the empty earth platform.After a short pause, he stepped up the steps and walked towards the house.He sat down by the firepit, blew on the fire to boil the water, and waited for the water to boil. He looked around and felt that there seemed to be something missing in the house. He knew that there was one person missing.

Si Hao had this feeling of loneliness when he first came to Jiaoshan, and it took him several days to get rid of it, but now it reappeared.Si Hao felt that it would be better in two days, and he was quite experienced in dealing with temporary disappointment.

At this time, Yu Su must have returned to Yucheng, Si Hao thought.

His brother-in-law is a pottery dealer. He came to Jiaoshan with him, and then went back. He will come again next time.Si Hao didn't look forward to seeing each other again, and felt that it was just like that, parting was a natural thing, just like when he left Renyi and said goodbye to his relatives and friends who had known each other for sixteen years, when he left, he never thought that he would see each other again in the future.

The water in the pot was boiling. Si Hao picked up the pot and poured water into the wooden bowl. He was not in a hurry to drink, but let the water cool down first.He lay down on the straw mud platform, with the kudzu quilt left by Yu Su on his head, and looked at the window. It was sunny outside at noon, but because it was a semi-crypt house, it was still cool inside.

He couldn't help thinking, what kind of place is Yucheng?He had heard of Yu City, its palace city was not as big as Ren Yi's, and its population was less than two-thirds of Ren Yi's, but it was the largest settlement in Yu Fang after all, so it must be very lively.Because of his special status, Si Hao had never been out of Renyi before he was 16 years old. When he was a child, he grew up in the manor of Ji Bing's family. When he was eight years old, he was quietly taken into Miyagi one night. When it came to his grandfather, Ren Jun at that time.Later he lived and grew up in Miyagi.

The world is very big, and Si Hao knows Fang Guo's position quite well, and Ji Bing has taught him.Ji Bing told him that the monarchs of these countries in the world have all been enshrined by the empire, and they were once attached to the empire.The king of the empire can command all directions.

Si Hao turned over and got off the grassy mud platform. He seldom thought about these things. He felt that these things had nothing to do with him about the Empire and the Emperor.He picked up the wooden bowl and drank the water in one gulp. Without stopping, he got up and left Falling Feather Hill.He still has to herd sheep, and he doesn’t think that shepherding is a rough thing. Sheep skin and mutton are all necessary for life, and it’s good to be self-sufficient.

Maybe in the future, he will go to Yudi, but not to find Yu Su, he is a person who is threatened with death, and try not to implicate others, let alone the other party is a close friend.
