Grandpa's Obsession

The days of traveling are not fun, especially when there is a certain purpose, and what is even more depressing is when the weather is bad, the winter is too cold, the summer is too hot, the wind is too noisy, and the rain is too stuffy, but Yinhu One thing is good, the stone cow that has been identified cannot be pulled back.

In ten months, the whole person has grown taller and firmer, and his skin color is no longer fair and fair, but has a slight wheat yellow, but it is still much fairer than ordinary people.

In the past ten months, he has been walking non-stop. He has traveled all over Uliasutai, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu. The various maps in his mind have helped him a lot. What he has to do now is to conduct on-the-spot surveys and then record the local customs. .Basically every ten days, a thick stack of records will be transported from the post station to the capital.

Along with it are letters to various family members, including Huang Ama, Erniang, Yinzhen, Sixiao, and Buyechuk, and others occasionally, but not frequently. After all, friendship No, there is no need to be annoying.

His letters are also very interesting, usually they are temporary emotions or knowledge about what he was doing at that time, and they are recorded casually. Yinzhen's gaze should no longer be limited to the Qing Dynasty.As far as the entire earth is concerned, the world is too big and the Qing Dynasty is too small.

But he didn't send the most critical map at all.This thing is a sharp weapon for siege at critical moments, and if it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

And within ten months, he has completely turned into an ordinary scholar. Except for his natural appearance, which is too beautiful to change, he has long been a different person from when he was in the capital in terms of food, clothing, words and deeds.

Xinjiang is located inland, with hot and dry weather, sparsely populated and sparse vegetation, and wild animals are more ferocious due to insufficient food sources.In this kind of place, even camping in the wild is a problem, and often one or two people, three or four people dare not go on the road alone.Especially in the Gobi Desert, all kinds of cunning poisonous snakes and insects will always bite you when you don't expect it.

Moreover, the folk customs in this place are tough, and there are endless thieves from all walks of life.Even if you follow a caravan or form a gang, you can't escape being robbed or robbed.Fortunately, these thieves know how to stay rooted, only half of it each time, and generally don't anger the other party and don't kill anyone.Otherwise, the Silk Road that has been handed down from the Han Dynasty to this day would have been broken long ago.

Yinhu used to know that this place was a mess, and at that time hated the weakness of the government. Now that he has visited the site, he knows how difficult it is to be a good official in this kind of place.If you don't want to be in the same boat, you have to be careful to save your life, so the local officials have changed one crop after another, but they have never heard of such things as Wan Min Umbrella Wan Yan Shu, all because conditions do not allow it.

"Everyone, hold on for a while, there will be a Populus euphratica forest in front of you, and there will be a well in the Populus euphratica forest. Then everyone will have water to drink, bathe, and barbecue. Get your spirits up!"

The words of the head of the bodyguard responsible for protecting the safety of the caravan not only had no effect, but even made everyone complain.

Yinhu looked at the situation in front of him and smiled without saying a word. He had already made preparations. He put a lot of water bags, water hyacinth, dried meat, flatbread, etc. in the carriage, as well as carrots specially prepared for Xiao Si, but the water was Hanging on Shi San's horse, although Shi San is ignorant, he is obedient, and he must do whatever he is asked to do.Yinhu asked him to bring more water, so he hung water bags all over his horse. Yinhu was speechless for a while. Along the way, the male was almost self-sufficient, and the water on his back was all his own. for drink.

Passed a piece of jerky to Shi San, and then slipped a carrot to Xiao Si. Apart from carrots, this little guy also likes to eat sugar, and he likes to drink more. He is like the emperor's donkey among donkeys. I have never seen such an awesome donkey.

"Is this brother's first time in Xinjiang?"

The voice of the visitor was pleasant, and Yinhu also raised his eyes for a while, and his heart suddenly felt uneasy after this attention.

He has grown a lot taller now than when he was in the capital, but this person is actually a fist taller than him, but his face is much smaller than him.And her appearance is feminine, if her eyebrows hadn't grown thicker since she grew up, she would look like a little girl just by looking at her face.And this young man, who seemed to be about the same age as him, had a much handsomer face than him, which made him beat his chest endlessly.

The most indispensable thing in Beijing is beauty. Although his appearance is considered top-notch, but because he doesn't show up often and has a special status, not many people talk about it. Since he left Beijing, he has encountered all kinds of molestation and being molested.

The most dangerous time was that a young master from a rich family wanted to tie him up and go straight to him. If it weren't for his good skills and Shi San's reliability, he might have really lost his virginity at that time. It is also painted with a layer of dark yellow. As the saying goes, one white covers one hundred ugliness, and this black also increases one hundred ugliness.That bewitching color forcibly suppressed seven points, thus avoiding more harassment.

"That's right, brother too?" Yinhu was full of thoughts, but his face was unrestrained and unrestrained.

"Exactly!" The man looked at Yinhu and then at Shi San, "I'm Yu Feixiao, from Jiangning. I don't know your name!"

"Don't dare to be. I should be enshrined, people from the capital."

The man was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed: "Yo, you have the same name as our eighth elder brother, how is it? Have you seen eighth elder brother in the capital? The eighth elder brother is famous far and wide, but he is ranked second among the ten beauties in the capital." I don’t know how many men and women regard the eighth elder brother as a lover!"

Yinhu immediately choked on his own saliva, coughed uncontrollably, and held back tears: "What? What beauty? What beloved?"

"Huh? You don't know?" Yu Feixiao looked at him curiously, "Aren't you stupid when you study?"

"I've been away from Beijing for three years, and I really don't know what's going on in the capital now." In any case, he must find out who made the ten beautiful things in the capital, and what's the second one.Let me go, does his dignified elder brother still need to sell his beauty?Let him know who can pass it on, see if he doesn't chop him up, chop it up and put it in a flowerpot to make flower fertilizer.

"No wonder, let me tell you..." Yu Feixiao smiled mysteriously, approaching him, Barabala, from Shimei to food, to poetry and painting, to local customs and customs, and then suddenly turned back and asked him why he came to Xinjiang.

Yinhu was stunned for a while, he had never seen such a talkative person in his two lifetimes, even if he ignored him, he could still chatter for a long time, "Aren't you thirsty?"

"Eh?" Yu Feixiao blinked, snatched Yinhu's water bag hanging from Xiao Si's neck with his hands, raised his head and gulped down his throat, then slammed his mouth, "I really didn't think of it until you said it. Your water is good, but it’s still a little salty. Did you put salt in it?”

Yinhu was taken aback by his actions. In the capital, he was often the one who made others speechless. Now that he has met someone who is worse than him, he can't do anything except be in a daze: " Yes. I heard it quenches thirst like this."

Shi San pursed his lips unwillingly, if he didn't see that the master was kind to this person, he would have rewarded him with a stick, and actually robbed him of water: "Rogue!"

Yu Feixiao suspected that he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

Shi San turned his head and pretended not to hear, Yinhu naturally understood and laughed happily and gave Shi San a piece of dried meat, which he happily took and secretly hid in his lapel.

Yu Feixiao couldn't help it, he cheered up before he had a cup of tea when he was depressed: "You're a nice person, I'm sure! By the way, why did you come out?"

"The person I like is married to someone else, so I'll come out to relax!" Since he didn't know each other, Yinhu stopped being hypocritical.Although he also understands that getting married is a must, even he himself must get married in the future, but he still cares about seeing Yinzhen marry someone else as the mistress of Baylor House like this.If he really didn't care, why did he intentionally mislead Yinhu during those few days?If he didn't care, why would he be so stubborn that he wouldn't even see him when he was parting?If you don't care, the two people will not be in the current relationship.

Seeing his expression, Yu Feixiao thought it was true, because he was also for the same reason, the saddest thing in the world is not that I love you and you don't love me, but that I love you and you love me but you have to Marrying someone else immediately raised Yinhu from an ordinary friend to a confidant: "Don't be unhappy. I am the same. Alas, we are also people who have fallen into the world."

"Why did we meet before! Today we will have a drink with him!" Although Yinhu was disappointed, he was not serious. He was surprised what kind of woman could turn a blind eye to Feixiao's affection and marry another woman.

The two of them muttered all the way, and the team entered the Populus euphratica forest before they knew it. Soon everyone got off their horses, set up tents and lit a bonfire.

Yinhu was neither alienated nor close to people along the way, so no one came to him at this time, and he was happy at ease. Besides, now that he had Yu Feixiao, who was more lively than Abu, he didn't feel lonely either. On the contrary, Yu Feixiao has traveled many places and gained a lot of knowledge.This kind of insight is not the kind of talk on paper that comes from books, but the real real life.However, he himself has learned from ancient to modern times, his vision is far-reaching, his knowledge is extensive and his knowledge is complicated, and it is not comparable to ordinary people.Immediately, the two met and hated it for a long time, and talked all night by candlelight.

By the next day, the two had secretly fallen in love with each other as confidantes.Yu Feixiao handed over the carriage to his servant and jumped into Yinhu's carriage. Seeing that there were a lot of papers piled up in the carriage, he looked through it. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

If he hadn't already known that the other party's family had an elder who was in the high hall, he would have thought that this person was doing a detailed work to find out the reality of the Qing Dynasty.He ran a business with his father since he was a child, and he knew a lot about the places he went, and he had a good memory, but he never thought of compiling it into a book.

Yinhu thought for a while and asked him to write down what he knew slowly.Two people are always faster than one.And Yu Feixiao is not a flamboyant person, his words are believable.

When they arrived in Korla, the manuscript in the carriage was more than a foot thick. The two looked at each other and smiled, thinking about each other.
