Ding Minjun went up to ask the children and learned that there was a fishing village nearby.The boy was ignorant and didn't know much about the surroundings. Ding Minjun didn't ask much, and he still didn't know where this place was.

The world is so chaotic now, and Chen Yan went out to sea for the first time, Ding Minjun was worried about his safety at the seaside alone, so he went back without much questioning.

"Sir, there is a small fishing village to the north of here, why don't we spend the night there first, and then make plans?" Ding Minjun asked in a low voice.

Chen Yan sat here for a while, and he was no longer uncomfortable with just getting off the boat. He looked up at Ding Minjun: "What is this place? Where is the nearest town?"

"I only met a few children, and I didn't ask them in detail." Although Ding Minjun was worried that Chen Yan would come back here alone, he didn't say anything at this time: "I think the boy doesn't know much, and he doesn't speak much. For more details, it is better to go to the fishing village and inquire carefully."

Chen Yan nodded: "Even so, let's go to the fishing village."

With Ding Minjun's lightness kung fu, naturally there is no need to slow down so much, but Chen Yan is just an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, so she just walks side by side with him.Fortunately, the fishing village was not far away, and the two arrived there after a short walk.

This fishing village is not too big, there are seven or eight families in it, and they make a living by fishing.

Ding Minjun and Chen Yan entered the fishing village, picked a farm house at random, and knocked on the door.After a while, an old woman opened the door halfway, saw a young man and woman outside, and then opened the door completely: "The two are..."

"My sister and I passed by here and wanted to ask the old man for a drink. Isn't it convenient?" Before Ding Minjun could speak, Chen Yan spoke first.

The mother-in-law looked at Ding Minjun and Chen Yan, saw that the two of them were handsome and heroic, and the other was gentle and elegant, not like bad guys, so she replied: "Please come in."

The two of them walked into the farmhouse, and saw that there was very little furniture in the farmhouse, only a table, a few chairs and a cabinet, all of which were very dilapidated.But the house was kept very clean, there was no trace of dust on the floor, and the utensils were neatly placed.

The villagers are simple, and the old lady treated Ding Minjun and Chen Yan very warmly, and brought up two bowls of hot water in a short while: "You two are laughing, there is nothing good to entertain you."

"The old man can give Zaixia and Shemei a place to rest for a while. Zaixia and Shemei are very grateful." Chen Yan said with a smile: "I want to ask the old man for advice. Is there a town near here? My sister and I got lost. Direction, I don’t know where this place is.”

"Yes, yes," the old woman replied while storing water for them, "Go out from the north of the village and go north twenty miles to Quanzhou."

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Grandma Zhang, Granny Zhang, are you there?"

"Go out and have a look, you two, sit down for a while." The old woman walked out when she heard someone calling her.

"Quanzhou is a big port, and there are always trading ships coming in and out. It is prosperous and rich. Sir, why don't we go to Quanzhou first?" Ding Minjun looked at Chen Yan. She actually wanted to ask Chen Yan what his plan is next, but she was embarrassed. Open your mouth.

"Quanzhou..." Chen Yan pondered for a moment: "Forget it, let's go to Quanzhou first."

Between the two of them speaking, the old woman had already walked back.Chen Yan asked the old woman how to get to Quanzhou in detail, and then took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the old woman, thanking her for letting them rest for a while and telling them the surrounding geographical conditions.

The old woman refused to accept it at first, so Chen Yan just put the broken silver on the table, cupped his hands towards the old woman, and took Ding Minjun out.Seeing that they insisted on giving silver, the old woman accepted it.

"I didn't know that Mr. had silver on him?" Ding Minjun looked at Chen Yan in surprise.She and Chen Yan had just returned to the Central Plains from the isolated island, and they were penniless, but they didn't expect Chen Yan to bring money.

Chen Yan looked back at her, and said lightly: "Without money, it's hard to walk. Don't I, Mrs. Chen, not even have money?"

"I've never seen my husband use money." Ding Minjun retorted.

Chen Yanqi said: "The island is self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, so how can we use money?"

Ding Minjun was a little embarrassed: "I think it's the first time for Mr. to leave the island..."

Chen Yan snorted softly: "Although it's my first time to leave the island, I'm not an uncommon person."

Just like that, the two of them walked towards Quanzhou while talking and chatting.

After walking for a long time, the two came to Quanzhou.

In the past, when the Southern Song Dynasty was still alive, Quanzhou was already a big port. Now, although the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, Quanzhou is still prosperous.

After entering the city, Chen Yan no longer kept his eyes fixed on each other, and looked around along the way.Ding Minjun felt that when he came out for the first time, everything must be novel, so he didn't mention it.However, although Chen Yan looked left and right, the expression on his face was still indifferent.

The two walked along the street for a while, and Chen Yan suddenly said, "Under Emperor Yuan's rule, are all states and counties like this?"

"How is it possible..." Ding Minjun shook his head first, and then showed a sad expression on his face: "Because Quanzhou is a port, and there are many ships coming and going, it is able to maintain such prosperity. And other counties are mostly ravaged by imperial hawks and dogs, Among them, Lin'an is the best."

"Lin'an?" Chen Yan paused for a moment, "Lin'an is the old capital, and Yuan Meng's iron government must guard it heavily."

"Sir, if you don't leave the island, you will know the affairs of the world." Ding Minjun sighed, with a gleam in her eyes, she remembered the assertion that Chen Yan, who went to the island at the beginning, made about Guozuo of the Yuan Dynasty.

As Chen Yan said, because Lin'an was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court was worried that the residents here were attached to the old country, so they excluded heavy troops to establish their prestige here, so the once prosperous capital is now ten rooms and nine empty.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise. They followed the sound and saw a few Mongolian officers and soldiers walking towards this side.They looked around and saw that the expressions on the faces of pedestrians and peddlers were all worried. It can be seen that these Mongolian officers and soldiers are like tigers to the people.

"Don't conflict with them." Chen Yan ordered in a low voice.

Although Ding Minjun couldn't understand the arrogance of those Mongolian soldiers, she was worried that Chen Yan might affect him in the dispute, so she had no choice but to keep it secret.

Those Mongolian soldiers were walking in the middle of the road, and pedestrians, carriages and horses gave way one after another.Ding Minjun walked past them, and he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart.

After this episode, the two found an inn to enter.When Xiaoer saw a guest officer coming to the door, he ran over joltingly, and asked attentively: "You two guest officers, do you want to stay at the top or stay?"

"Two rooms." Chen Yan ordered to Xiaoer, then turned to ask Ding Minjun: "Do you want to eat something first?"

When the two of them were drifting at sea, they ate dry food and bacon. When they arrived at the land in the town, they naturally wanted to eat some hot food.

Ding Minjun nodded when he heard Chen Yan's question.

The two chose a seat near the window and sat down, because it was not time for dinner, and the food was served quickly.

Seeing that the two of them seemed peaceful, Xiao Er didn't disturb them.

Ding Minjun hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Sir, I remember hearing a word from Mr. when I first came to the island..." She lowered her voice: "Mr. What's the meaning?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment while holding the vegetables in his hands, and replied softly, "I'll talk about it later."

Ding Minjun pursed his lips, knowing that this was not the place to talk, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

After the two of them had finished their meal and went upstairs to the wing room, Chen Yancai explained to Ding Minjun: "My father is familiar with the study of the Book of Changes. He once asked about the affairs of the world through divination. Guo Zuo is not long."

The author has something to say: this is from the 7th.

When I get on the train tomorrow, I don't know if I can write it down before I leave. If I don't write it down, I will make it up on the 9th.
