Fengcheng.

Summer is almost over.

Fengcheng was originally the territory of Song State, but Song State had recently lost to Peng State. In order to make Peng State retreat, Fengcheng was ceded to Penghou by Song Gong. The new ruler ordered that the original vassals of Song State All must be removed from their territory by the spring of the following year.

All the territories are preparing to migrate, and the migration requires a lot of supplies, so the pier in Fengcheng is crowded with hawkers from all over the country, people from Zheng, Wei, and before the war, Qi and Jin businessman.

These vendors peddle boiled chestnuts, fresh grilled fish, wheat cakes and jars of honey on the wharf.In addition to these guys who sell food, there are some people who tear off a piece of cloth to show the color of their goods to the people around them, although most of them are rags of extremely poor quality or cannot be sold in the market. No one but a few poor and inexperienced travellers will buy them.

Papa Bai was standing on the pier waiting eagerly for his cargo ship to come back.He saw that it was approaching the pier, most of the oars had been retracted, the sails had been lowered, and the crew was standing at the bow to guide the helmsman to approach the shore slowly.

How many times is this?Father Bai can't remember clearly, but he is sure that this is the longest time.

"There is no reason, and both love and non-aggression."

In the distance, another ranger from Wuyou was promoting their ideas. There were several landlords in Fengcheng who were believers from Wuyou, which greatly increased the power of the rangers in the local area. However, after Peng Jun arrived, they immediately suppressed them. Few people are unlucky, not many people believe them now, and soldiers will come to drive them away soon.

The Bai family didn't have much territory in Fengcheng. Doctors in the Song Dynasty generally didn't like to manage their own territory. They yearned for the prosperity of the business, so they stayed there all day. Father Bai still remembered that the Bai family was just three generations ago. An unknown doctor in the country, but before the war with Peng Guo, the Bai family was already the largest landlord in Fengcheng.Blame the damn war!Father Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Bai's parents were injured on the battlefield, and before autumn came, he died surrounded by a group of family members.

As a result, fierce quarrels arose within the family. Should the Bai family go there without land, to the Song Dynasty?Even Song Gong himself is in danger, so there is no time to take care of them. Besides, there is no piece of land in Song State that can support all the clansmen.

It seems that there is only one way for the Bai family. There seem to be many young people who have this idea, but when they put it forward, they encountered great resistance. The elders of the family thought it was a crazy idea that would bring the Bai family to its demise: some The merchants who returned from Qiangrong in the northwest said that there was a large piece of fertile land on the other side of the mountain, and a new country was slowly rising along the source of the Yu River.

It was a country that admired the etiquette and culture of the Central Plains, but it had never been recognized by the emperor, and was regarded by the emperor and many countries as barbarians like those Rongdi north of the grassland.

There were endless quarrels at the family meeting. At this time, the old lady of the Bai family stood up to support her son. In the end, nearly half of the clan agreed to cross the mountain and go to Xirong.

She first ordered the sale of all the extravagant and useless items in the house, and then used all the money to recruit craftsmen and soldiers who were willing to go with them, and went to the market to buy orphans and laborers in the prime of life.

Father Bai is responsible for transporting all the surplus fur, grain, oil, cloth, gold and silver of the Bai family to other countries for sale, and today, he is about to usher in the last returning cargo ship of his family. In Dongji of Qi, when this ship docks, Father Bai will also sell the last ship.

After that, all the things in his hand will be sold out, and he will use the money he got to buy everything that Fengcheng can buy for the migration, and then return to the territory to join the rest of the family.

The biggest lack of migration is manpower. Most farmers and craftsmen will turn pale with fright when they hear that they are going to Xirong, and the remaining small part will turn around and run away.Only the criminals in the cell and the slaves who longed for freedom would choose to try the chance, and half of them wanted to escape at any time.

Father Bai would keep shaking his head when he thought of this, and sighed, the Bai family fell into such a situation.

At this time, the cargo ship finally docked, and one of his nephews found him standing on the bow, and jumped off before the ship stopped.

"Grandma misses me to death."

Father Bai smiled, and pushed the kid in front of him hard. He has grown taller and stronger after not seeing him for a few years, "I won't leave Ah Li in the future, your elder brother has been waiting for you to go home! The journey is okay Bar?"

"It's good, and I picked up a good thing."

"A good wine brewed by a scholar in the palace?"

"No, no, we picked up a child on the river." Bai Li shook his head hastily and said. "a boy."

Tengfeng was picked up from the river by Bai Li four days ago. At that time, the rotten boat was broken and scattered. He floated with a piece of wood for most of the day, and met Bai's cargo ship before dark.

"Bai Li."

Fujimine saw the man who rescued him on the boat pointing at himself, then looked over with questioning eyes, and pointed at him.

The pronunciation is a bit strange, and it is not the Peng language that Tengfeng is familiar with, but as a gentry, the languages ​​of various countries are something that must be learned. He said a lot of words, but he didn't dare to speak them out. Maybe it was the previous experience or other reasons that he couldn't figure out. In short, he kept silent.

Everything around was so strange, Fujimine frowned, and began to shake violently.

Bai Li was a little surprised by Tengfeng's sudden reaction, he stretched out his hand and pulled his face forcefully, trying to calm down Tengfeng with a steady voice.After a while, Bai Li succeeded, he slowly sat up straight as much as possible.

Then, he raised another finger and pointed at himself, "Bai...li."

Then Tengfeng pointed at him and repeated: "Bai Li."

Bai Li immediately nodded with a smile, grabbed Tengfeng's hand and said, "Bai Li." Then he turned that finger to Tengfeng, and showed a questioning expression again.

Fujimine shook his head again.

Bai Li lowered his head, showing a dejected expression.

Fujimine became taciturn.Or rather, after he was rescued from the water by the boatman on Bai Li's boat, he didn't speak much.His clothes were wet and dirty, and he was stripped off as soon as he boarded the boat. Since there was no suitable clothes on board, Bai Li could only take out one of the tiniest clothes from his salute.

But even the tiniest clothes looked unusually roomy on Fujimine.

The boatman brought a bowl of hot soup, because he used the lunch leftovers to make hot water, so Fujimine licked the whole bowl clean, and now everyone knew that he was hungry.

Bai Li immediately ordered someone to fetch food, but the experienced boatman stopped him from giving Tengfeng more food, "If you are hungry for too long and eat too much at once, it will ruin your stomach."

So although there was a lot of food in front of him, after eating some, Tengfeng could only stare helplessly, probably because his eyes were too eager, which made Bai Li hand over another apple, "Take it easy, wait Eat later."
