happy life through time

Jumping into the deep pool was like falling into an ice cellar, Tong Yan's whole body was stiff, almost thinking that he would be frozen to death like this, but in the end, he still survived.

After being absorbed by the vortex of the cold pool, he lost consciousness. In the end, he woke up in a lake, and Wang Dingjun had already disappeared.

Tong Yan stood up stiffly, and after a long time, his body gradually warmed up.

There is a meadow under your feet, and a calm lake in front of you. The lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by cliffs, mountains and jungles. Everywhere you look, it is so magnificent.The scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, calm and serene, the only downside is that there is no one, but it is precisely because no one lives here that the scenery here can maintain its original beauty, and there are quite a few tourists here. .

Ripples suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the lake, and then there were more and more ripples. A small boat came slowly from the lake, and a boatman who was over [-] years old smiled and said to Tong Yan: "Young man, do you want to go to the other side? "

Even though the boatman is old, he is still healthy and strong. He rowed the boat, proficient and natural, just like a young boatman, without any fatigue and full of energy.

Tong Yan asked: "Old man, what is this place?"

"Pinghu West."

"Where is this ship heading?" Tong Yan asked.

"Wherever the guest officer wants to go, I will go there."

"Then may I ask, is there anyone on the other side?"

The boatman glanced at Tong Yan, and said slowly: "On the other side of the pier, not far south, there is a fishing village, where is the guest officer going?"

Tong Yan looked at the boatman and nodded: "Exactly!"

Tong Yan sat and observed the scenery around him. Counting his previous life, this was the first time he was on a boat, so Tong Yan was very curious.

However, I have more things I want to do in my heart, so I don't have the anticipation of taking a boat for the first time.

"Old man, are you a native of the fishing village?"

The boatman chuckled, his smile was sincere and hearty. Looking at his smile, he suddenly felt that the other party was more than ten years younger.

He rowed steadily with his hands, and with the unique enthusiasm of the locals, he said: "This old man has been rowing for more than [-] years. He is not a local, but he is better than a local!"

"Can the old man know how far it is from Jiangzhou?" Tong Yan guessed that Liu Dafu and others should still be in Jiangzhou, so he had to find a way to send the letter back.

But the boatman shook his head at this moment: "It's far, it's too far. If you take a carriage and go to Jiangzhou at a normal speed, it will take at least one and a half months. If you really want to go to Jiangzhou, you can go to Yanzhou first." Beijing, this place is not far from the capital city, and it only takes a day and a half to travel by horse-drawn carriage."

Tong Yan frowned, unexpectedly, he was already so far away.

"It's already that far away?"

The boatman sighed and said, "I once took a tourist from Jiangzhou. It took him a whole year to walk from Jiangzhou to this place."

Tong Yan's eyes widened. He didn't expect that someone would walk from Jiangzhou to Pinghu. He was never a person who was willing to spend his time on the journey. Generally, he would not stop along the way if he wanted to go somewhere, even if he did. Down, but also for the needs of the road.

Tong Yan thought about it, and finally decided to go to the capital first, and then write a letter to report back home, and also write a letter to Zheng Yuhao, asking him to help find Liu Dafu.

"Excuse me, old man, how should I go to the capital?"

"My lord, if necessary, I will take you to the capital right away, old man."

Tong Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into joy. He looked at the boatman, cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, old man."

Even though Tong Yan had never been on a boat, he did not experience seasickness.

Along the way, I asked many questions about Yanjing. Walking along the waterway, Tong Yan and the boatman stopped by the shore several times, rested for a while, set off again the next day, and finally arrived at the capital in the evening of the third day. Fish Wharf.

Tong Yan gave the silver, thanked the boatman, and walked to the capital.

In Tong Yan's understanding, the capital is the city of a country.

Yanjing, commonly known as the capital, is the most prosperous capital of the Yan Kingdom.

Tong Yan had just walked onto the pier, and the streets near the pier were filled with all kinds of strange-looking commodities on both sides.

This is the most complicated place in the capital, because it is a pier, so here is the most hopeful meeting people from all corners of the country, and the goods are naturally varied.

Here, there are also gadgets from the south of the Yangtze River, animal skins from the Northwest Desert, and special snacks that exude a tempting aroma. There are many people after the shipwreck landed, and the business is very good.

Here, there are people from all corners of the country who are doing various transactions, and there are also casual workers who want to write money by working in this wharf. Tong Yan looked forward and saw that there are often headhunters and patrols on both sides of the street. It looks complicated, but it is well-organized and there is no mess at all.

Tong Yan looked around and walked casually. At this moment, he was not in the mood to enjoy the bustling scene around here at all, but walked directly to the center of the capital.

When passing by, a beggar aged [-] or [-] ran up: "Big brother, is this the first time you come to the capital?"

Tong Yan glanced at the little beggars, there were not many little beggars around, but occasionally there would always be little beggars to solicit business, and people from all over the world at the pier did not know everything about the capital and its surroundings, so there would always be such little beggars, This kind of thing seems to be common here, Tong Yan glanced at the little beggar and nodded.

The little beggar smiled brightly, and his dirty face showed a mouthful of white and shiny white teeth: "Brother, I can take you to sell what you want, and I can help you with whatever you want, as long as ten cents is enough." gone."

Tong Yan nodded with a smile, the little beggar's black eyes showed surprise, it's great that he got a business today.

Just as they were about to take Tong Yan away, another fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly appeared on the way.

The young man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, he looked honest and responsible, his body was washed clean, which gave him a better impression, but a pair of eyes betrayed him, he looked around, there was evil in his eyes, his searching eyes were different from other The beggar was looking for customers at the pier, but looked at the customers found by the children around him, squinted his eyes, as if he was estimating the value of others, when he saw Tong Yan, he looked Tong Yan up and down, Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that he had received more money today, so he ran over, as if he hadn't seen the little beggar: "Young master, where do you want to go? My humble name is Wu Tong, and everyone knows everything, as long as it is in the capital, I, Wu Tong, know where it is, and it only costs fifteen cents, although it is more expensive than that little beggar, but it is definitely worth it, as long as you want to go, my lord, I, Wu Tong, will definitely accompany you to the end!"

The little beggar stared at Wu Tong angrily, ignored him so much, and blatantly robbed him of his business, even if he was young, he would not just let it go.

"Wu Tong, you bastard, you're robbing me of business again!" the little beggar said angrily.

One word after another, let Tong Yan understand that this is not the first time this person has robbed a small beggar's business, or it is not the first time that this person has robbed someone else's business.

Wu Tong looked at the little beggar mockingly, and said disapprovingly, "Business grabbing? How can you say that? My little one, my hair hasn't grown up yet, so be careful walking and getting lost, and don't even look at where this is. Hmph, go home and drink milk!"

Unexpectedly, even this kind of small business would be robbed. Yanjing seemed to be different than he imagined.

The little beggar was indignant, looked at Tong Yan and said, "My lord, don't look at me as young, but I grew up in the capital since I was a child. I know where every place in the capital is and what people live there. Where are you going, my lord? I'll definitely take you there right away."

Tong Yan looked at the little beggar, and then at Wu Tong. Wu Tong had a smile on his face, while the little beggar was a little anxious, full of anticipation and apprehension. He finally got a business deal. Hungry.

Tong Yan glanced at the little beggar. When encountering such a thing, it all depends on his choice, so he will naturally do it according to his own will.

Although Wu Tongren is a little clever, but all of them are used in how to grab business from others, instead of soliciting business by himself. His conduct is not very good. People around him seem to treat him like snakes and scorpions. They are some people who are also here to solicit business. The young man also shook his head secretly.

"Wu Tong is always taking children's jobs. There are so many people around, and there are many people who are not familiar with the capital, but they always have trouble with children. Why bother?"

"Hmph, what are you doing with so many things, don't worry about him, hurry up and find out if there is any business!" Those people soon didn't care about this matter, because it always happened from time to time, and they also wanted to make money. Time is in charge of the second time, so as long as you don’t bring yourself, it’s natural to skip it.

Tong Yan looked at the little beggar. Although he was dirty, he didn't hate it. Maybe it was due to his psychological age. Tong Yan liked children very much. In his last life, he had never been in a relationship or married, and his parents would not be like this. His parents in the first life were also working hard for his marriage. With Liu Dafu in this life, it is even more impossible for him to have children, family members, nieces, and a good life. He will not expect too much, although He has already accepted his fate, but because of this, he loves the child even more.

Tong Yan smiled and said that he had already acquiesced to the little beggar from the very beginning. Even if Wu Tong came up at this time, he had no intention of changing people. He smiled and said to the little beggar: "Take me around !"

The little beggar was taken aback for a moment, and then said with surprise on his face: "Yes, young master."

The little beggar jumped up happily, and suddenly realized that his behavior was too rude. He looked at Tong Yan nervously, and was even more happy to see that Tong Yan was smiling, and he didn't seem to be angry or dissatisfied because of him.

Before leaving, he glanced at Wu Tong proudly, Wu Tong glanced at his mouth in disdain, but Tong Yan did not stop the little beggar's escape, his eyes were full of tolerance.
