Chapter 86 Going to Yuzhou
"I have informed Dr. Chen that I can live in your room from now on." A muffled voice came from his arms, but the frustration just now was gone.
Wu Yi couldn't help being a little surprised, Li Jing was also a county prince, and the cubicle he originally lived in was much more spacious and brighter than his here, so why bother to live in his room.
But when those bright eyes looked up from his bosom, Wu Yi was speechless.
A person who was clearly about the same height as him acted coquettishly like when he was a child, staring at him with a pair of bright eyes, thousands of words were shattered into twinkling eyes.
"Okay." Wu Yi could not help but smile slightly.
It's just a room. As a master, he can give Li Jing too little.
I hope that when you are studying hard under the cold window, you can also feel the company of Master.
After Li Jing left, Wu Yi was just about to fall asleep when he heard a knock on the door.
Wu Yi opened the door and saw that it was Yan Ming, so he quickly invited him in.
"I've heard about your courageous rescue of the Crown Princess that day." Yan Ming looked rather resentful, "It's obviously a good thing to save people's lives, but Tianhou's actions really chilled people's hearts."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he regretted his slip of the tongue, and quickly changed his mouth and said, "Have you packed your things? I heard that the road to Shu is difficult, so I specially brought a few pairs of good insoles at home to see if the size is right. .”
As he spoke, he took out a few pairs of exquisitely embroidered insoles from his bosom, and handed them to Wu Yi as if they were offering treasures.
Wu Yi couldn't help laughing: "This Jing'er has already been prepared for me, you should keep it for yourself."
Yan Ming never thought that he would be the first to be picked up by that kid, so he couldn't help but smile coyly: "It's okay if there are too many, you just keep it, maybe it will come in handy."
Wu Yi was grateful for his kindness, but he was too embarrassed to evade it, so he accepted it.
The two of them hadn't exchanged a few words, when it was the second watch, Yan Ming was afraid of delaying Wu Yi's rest, so he stopped bothering him and reluctantly waved goodbye to him.
Wu Yi also waved his hand, feeling melancholy in his heart, traveling thousands of miles, wondering if he will be able to see these old friends again in this life.
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Yi got up in the dark and rushed to the wharf outside Chang'an City with the baggage that Li Jing had packed for him.
The genius was dim, and the pedestrians at the pier were in twos and threes, yawning and waiting for the next merchant ship.
The so-called Yuzhou is Chongqing City 1000 years later.
Although people are far away, Yuzhou is not a small rural town like Yuanzhou, but an extremely important transportation hub in the southwest region, because it is closely attached to a majestic and dynamic road. Great Waterway—
Yangtze.
The main stream of the Yangtze River traverses the whole territory of Yuzhou from west to east, and countless merchant ships have to shuttle through this waterside city.
Therefore, the most convenient way to get to Yuzhou is by boat.
As he waited sleepily for the arrival of the ship, he heard a clear voice coming from beside him.
"This brother is going to Sichuan and Chongqing?"
Wu Yi looked back, and saw a tall young man looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency is..."
"I am Gu An, the magistrate of Fengjie County, Kuizhou. Your Excellency must be Mr. Wu Yiwu, a medical assistant who is going to Yuzhou."
Wu Yi was a little surprised at first, but soon realized that he was wearing the uniform of a medical assistant, and he was also waiting for the boat to Bashu, which meant that his identity as a medical assistant in Yuzhou was written on his face.
This county magistrate is only about to take up his post when he thinks about it, so it's not surprising that he knows everything about Beijing and can recognize Wu Yilai.
"Sir's brave rescue of the princess that day has spread throughout the capital, and people really admire him."
Wu Yi could only reply with an indifferent smile: "This matter is nothing more than the job of a doctor. Brother Gu is too polite."
While the two were talking, a ship had already docked at the pier for a rest.
The boatman on the board leaned against the railing and waved his hands downward, which meant that he was free to give them a lift.
Wu Yi and Gu An each paid the boat fare, and followed the boatman to sit in a cabin inside. Several dark-skinned men fell asleep in the narrow cabin, so Wu Yi had to pick up a small wooden stool in a corner to sit. Down.
Gu An was not squeamish, and sat side by side with him, and they were all going in the same direction anyway, so we might as well take a companion together to save the boredom on the road.
As soon as the ship moved, Gu An's chatterbox also opened up: "Mr. Wu, do you know which merchant ship this is?"
Wu Yi really didn't know: "Zuo is just a merchant ship heading south, picking up a few people on the way to earn some extra money."
"You are right to say that, but this is not an ordinary merchant ship. I heard that it is the ship of the Li family in the middle of Sichuan."
"The Li family?" Wu Yi didn't know anything about these corner news.
Gu An also didn't play charades with him: "It's the cargo ship of Li Zhiyuan's family, who is known as the richest man in Sichuan and Chongqing. Even the emperor and empress prefer their family's Shu brocade. A horse is worth a hundred."
In the gossip, the day passed by like this.
Gu An will go to Fengjie County, and he has already inquired about local anecdotes and strange things, such as businessman Li's concubine's house fight, Liu Jieshi's prodigal wife, and Jiang Xuexue's reckless student. I have heard him talk about it all day Wu Yi still finds the anecdotes about celebrities in Sichuan and Chongqing quite interesting.
"Yuzhou City is here! You brothers, hurry up and get off the boat!" The boatman lifted the curtain and came in to see off the guests.
Wu Yi picked up his close-fitting bag and got off the boat with Gu An.
This is also the first time he has come to the well-known Bashu and Yuzhou, where the rivers run and flow, from modern times to ancient times.
Wu Yi got off the merchant ship, stood in front of the moss-stained ancient city wall, and looked back at the vast and misty Yangtze River.
Now, there is neither the world-renowned Three Gorges Dam, nor the endless stream of steel ships. Merchant ships passing by from south to north hurriedly leave the golden wind and drizzle water village without looking back.
-
Going to Fengjie County, you have to take another waterway. Seeing that it was getting late, Gu An decided to go with Wu Yi and choose an inn to stay temporarily.
I searched and searched, but the shops in the city all said that they were full and asked them to go to another store.
"It's really weird." Gu An muttered to himself, "The last time I came to Yuzhou, the boss complained to me that there were no customers and the store was about to close!"
Wu Yi also felt that something was wrong. Yuzhou is still an economically backward area. If the birds are too hairy, can they still be full of people?
It was Gu An who came up with an idea: "Many of those boat houses by the river can live in them, and they are cheap, but the houses are a bit too damp."
No matter how humid it is, it is much better than blowing cold wind on the street.
The two looked at each other, immediately picked up their luggage and headed back to the river to find the boatman they knew in the past.
Just when I knocked on the door of a house, I heard a hoarse scream from inside: "Close the door quickly, be careful!"
Maozi is the general term for bandits and bandits here.
Gu An quickly rushed up to grab the crack of the door tightly, and shouted inside: "We are not fools, we just want to stay overnight, please let the boatman help us."
The door just opened, and a cautious face poked out. Seeing that these two were both helpless scholars, he invited people in with confidence.
The panic-stricken old lady at the front of the room nodded and sighed: "Guests, don't be offended. There has been a lot of panic in our corner recently, and no one dares to keep strangers at night."
Gu An suddenly realized: "No wonder those shopkeepers said they were full, so they lied to us out of fear!"
You Qi asked again: "Which King of the Immortal Mountain is this, that you are afraid to be like this?"
Wu Yi is also quite curious. There are basically two types of "King of the Mountain" in this era. One is the "rebel army", which specializes in opposing the government and does not trouble the people; the other is equivalent to terrorists, smashing and looting , do all kinds of evil.
No matter which one it is, it's enough to cause trouble.
Don't look at the righteous Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin" who only rob the rich and help the poor. Bandits in this era are not so righteous, and they are still a cancer that is not a small disaster for farmers.
Unless, like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the power of the country was squeezed to the death, causing complaints and people living in dire straits, they would rather take out their own hoes and become bandits than cultivate land for the emperor, ordinary people are still willing to stand on the same front with the government and resist the separatist side small power groups.
Li Tracker poured two bowls of hot water for them, also frowning: "Mao Zitou's name is Xiao Yuexian, and he is a descendant of Xiao Xian. A few decades ago, because his father rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in Fengjie County, Emperor Taizong ordered his whole family to be confiscated. This Xiao Yuexian actually escaped a catastrophe. Now he is making a comeback, and he has come back to Yuzhou City because he wants every household to pay the money and salary on time, otherwise he will come to fight and rob! of."
Gu An's face turned pale, and after a while, he took a sip of scalding hot water to calm down his complexion: "Let's just keep away from those bandits."
From the moment Wu Yi entered the door, he stayed quietly by Gu An's side without saying a word.
Although he doesn't know what kind of god Xiao Yuexian is, but the Tang Dynasty will have a smooth life for at least several decades. It seems that this rebellious family has only this kind of promise, and can only bully the good family here far away from the emperor. common people.
But still feeling faintly uneasy.
After all, he is not an examinee holding a history book and shaking his head and reciting these few words, but one of these good people who have been bullied, not yet unlucky.
