Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 89 Fishing in the South

"Second Uncle, you're out!" Zhou Shuren, who was guarding the yard, stepped forward when he saw Zhang Buyi woke up.

Zhang Buyi didn't stop smiling, looked at Zhou Shuren and said, "Clean up and prepare to go south tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren was slightly stunned, and asked, "Are you done with the business in the city?"

Zhang Buyi nodded and said: "It's almost there, the commotion has become a bit loud, if you don't leave, you may not be able to leave."

"Understood!" Zhou Shuren's complexion changed slightly, and he said seriously.

"Don't be too nervous, no one will be able to catch our tails with my master behind!" Zhang Buyi replied confidently.

"Senior Chen won't go south with us?" Zhou Shuren asked after hearing the words.

"Well, Master has other important things to do. It's because of me to stay for half a day. Apart from Yunyou, we have to visit some seniors this time. Some of them Master doesn't want to see, so they won't follow." Zhang Buyi explained calmly.

Zhou Shuren nodded, expressing his understanding, and then asked: "Then how do we arrange the specific itinerary?"

"First go south along the coast to Fuzhou, then turn to the north all the way, and finally, if possible, turn to the snow area." Zhang Buyi had already planned the itinerary, so said.

Except for a few great Confucian scholars, Mendeleev, who edited last time, has no way to fish, but the sixth soul boy in the snow area has passed 30 to [-] years ago, and should be an adult, so he can try his luck, maybe he will become a big boss.

Moreover, the journey along the way is the best training for Zhou Shuren, and it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stroke.

"This... we're going to travel for a year?" Zhou Shuren asked in astonishment.

"The time is not fixed. The main thing is to finish the four destinations." Zhang Buyi replied.

······
After a night of nothing, Zhang Buyi and Zhou Shuren rode horses and set foot on the journey to Fuzhou in the early morning of the next day.

Along the way, Zhang Buyi led Zhou Shuren, riding horses across the rivers and lakes, like two knights wandering the world, starting from Shaoxin, heading south at a leisurely pace.

As the two traveled south along the coast, the two witnessed the great changes in Daxia over the years.

Misfortunes by foreigners, rampant corrupt officials, constant banditry, it is simply an intuitive and unintuitive scene of troubled times.But in this chaos, foreign trade is extremely developed in many places.

Countless people are chasing after foreign goods and chasing after foreigners, which is a bit morbid.With the access of 1900, Daxia is simply a terminally ill patient.

Along the way, Zhang Buyi was a handsome scholar, holding his sword to the end of the world, and Zhou Shuren was a traveling doctor along the way, which seemed to be a bit of a casual guest.

During these days of traveling, Zhou Shuren has seen the suffering of countless people and experienced many joys and sorrows.He gradually understood many things, he knew that Da Xia was ill.

As a doctor, he can treat patients and save lives, but it seems that he can't cure Da Xia's disease.It made him more silent, and the whole person quickly matured, a little less immature, and a little more vicissitudes.

During the entire journey, they only passed a secondary prefecture named Jinzhou. The two found that the management here seemed to be relatively strict. I heard that a wave of bandits had just been paid, and it seemed that there were capable officials in governance?
Time flies, it is Yuexu.

"Second Uncle, we're out of money again!"

Today, the two just entered a small county on the edge of Fuzhou, within the range of Lianshui County.At a roadside tea stall in the outskirts, after eating some refreshments, Zhou Shuren said with a bitter face.

These days, apart from worrying about the patient's condition, Zhou Shuren cares most about money.

When he separated from Runtu and Le Bo, his second uncle asked him to hand over all the money he had on him, leaving only two taels of silver in total, and let Le Bo take away the rest.

At first he thought that the second uncle had money in his pocket, but later he found out that they were all worth two taels, and the second uncle didn't have a penny! ! !
What can two taels of silver do?
When he was in the city before, he didn't have enough for one lunch, but they were going south and north to travel all over Daxia! ! !
At first he didn't understand, but as he traveled poorly along the way, he gradually understood the good intentions of his second uncle.

If it weren't for this month's poor travel, he would have no idea that life would be so difficult and making money would be so difficult.Of course, it is also because of their poverty that they can get together with the people at the bottom and know what the people of Daxia are like today.

At this moment, Zhang Buyi was a little speechless after hearing this.When he was in Shaoxin City before, he discovered that it was useless to put the two people's money in Zhou Shuren's hands, and it was still triggered.

This Zhou Tai's poor disease is the kind of all-round, unavoidable loopholes, the kind that does not have a noble life, and has a noble disease, and it is this guy who is talking about.

"Lianshui County is coming soon, let's find an abandoned village or ruined temple tonight and deal with it for the night, and then go to the city tomorrow." Zhang Buyi replied expressionlessly.

"Okay!" Zhou Shuren nodded after listening to Zhang Buyi's words.He is no stranger to this kind of thing.

And from the beginning, the villages have been tossing and turning, not used to sleeping, and it is difficult to fall asleep, but now they can do it, find a grass pit, and fall asleep right away.Regardless of whether it is a ruined temple or a stone cave, everyone can sleep peacefully.

"Gulu..."

A stomach growl stopped the two of them, and Zhang Buyi looked at Zhou Shuren's stomach.

Zhou Shuren said with a blank face: "From this morning to just now, I ate a tea for two cents."

The corner of Zhang Buyi's mouth twitched, and he said, "I'll see if I can catch some wild game later!"

"En!" Zhou Shuren nodded.

Seeing this familiar look, the two of them have done a lot of things along the way.

After a while, because of their rich camping experience and a little bit of luck, they easily found an abandoned village.

Zhang Buyi was lucky enough to hit a weasel and get it out.

Neither of the two felt disgusted, and one and a half only dealt with it.After the board and lodging were settled, the two began to take turns to rest.

······
In the early morning of the next day, the two uncles and nephews, who were originally somewhat slovenly and unkempt, found a stream at Zhang Buyi's request, tidied up a bit, and then entered Lian Shui City.

"Second Uncle, shall we make money first?" Zhou Shu asked in a familiar manner.

This time Zhang Buyi shook his head and said, "No need for today, our destination for going south has arrived!"

"The senior we are going to visit lives here?" Zhou Shuren said in surprise.

Zhang Buyi nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be here."

While speaking, Zhang Buyi carefully took out a small bag from his pocket.Under Zhou Shuren's curious eyes, Zhang Buyi opened it carefully.

After seeing the contents clearly, Zhou Shuren was stunned.

'How does it feel like rice paper? '

I saw Zhang Buyi carefully unfolding the white thing little by little, it was really a piece of folded blank rice paper.Zhou Shuren, who thought it was some kind of treasure, was at a loss.

"Don't underestimate it, this thing once carried the true meaning of great Confucianism. If it weren't for this thing, I wouldn't want to go south, but go north directly to try my luck!"

[Fate +1! 】

"Great Confucianism?!" Zhou Shuren was stunned, looking at the rice paper in Zhang Buyi's hand in surprise.

'This sheep has been stroked for a month, and its hair is a little bald. Is it because I am too intemperate? '

Zhang Buyi looked at the fate of a little bit, and his thoughts flickered.Ignoring Zhou Shuren, the sapphire card in his body was beating, the book was opened, and all the information about Nalan Rongruo was extracted and incorporated into the card.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Buyi waved at the paper, and after the entire paper was infected with mana, it collapsed into a special aura.

Mathematical symbols: Mental Arithmetic·Tian Yan!
Following Zhang Buyi's movements, the sapphire card collapsed into countless runes, pouring from Zhang Buyi's fingertips into the aura cluster in his hand.

After a long time, while the aura ball was beating, it was slightly drawn and pointed to a place in the city.

Seeing this, Zhang Buyi was overjoyed, and said: "It works, it seems we are lucky, this senior hasn't moved yet, keep up!"

While speaking, Zhang Buyi led the way and followed, and Zhou Shuren followed immediately.

·······
In the south of Lian Shui City, there is a small square-like place in a street.

A huge banyan tree occupies the center of the square, and the huge tree cover covers half of the sky.Cast a shade.

The weather in May and June, which has gradually become hot in the south, is very cool here.Therefore, it is loved by many people.

In addition, it is located in the south of the city, and most of the residents are dignitaries, at least people of some status, so it looks lively but not noisy, very elegant.

Some individuals play chess, chat, drink tea, and walk birds here. It is a very good place for salted fish.

In the corner of the square, there are two people playing chess at the moment.

An uncle with excellent looks, ordinary clothes, about 34 years old, coupled with his melancholy expression, unique temperament, and somewhat sickly pale complexion, it can make people feel distressed at first glance, he is a standard girl killer.

An old man who looked like he was in his early sixties, with an old face and gray hair. If he hadn't been wearing luxurious clothes, he would have been an ordinary old man who couldn't be found in the crowd.

Judging from the age, the old man is old enough to be the uncle's father, but the two are playing chess and chatting leisurely like old friends.

It seems that Uncle Melancholy has a much higher status in the relationship between the two of them.

"This time you're going south, isn't it just for the new chapter of the concession? What are you doing here!" Nalan Rongruo, the uncle, looked at the old man and asked.

The old man Gu Zhenguan kept moving, and answered the wrong question: "Kang Youwei is going to Beijing soon!"

Nalan Rongruo continued without raising his head, and said: "Although I have lived in seclusion for many years, I still know about such a big matter."

"Rong Ruo, do you think there will be a result this time?" Gu Zhenguan asked.

"It's your turn!" Nalan Rongruo said flatly without raising his head, but he didn't answer the court question.
