Chapter 4 The Loyal Servant

Chapter 4 The Loyal Servant
"Master!"

While he was in a daze, a slightly old voice sounded next to his ears. When he looked around, he saw a hunched-backed sixty-year-old man who had appeared not far in front of him and was walking with difficulty. Come this way.

Old Clock!Zhang Yi hurried up to meet him too.

He admired the old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart. If the so-called integrity and loyalty of later generations need to be reflected in contracts, then this is a loyal servant who can only be seen in history books and can be written into textbooks. His loyalty can even Give up everything, including his life.

Such an old man couldn't help but be disrespected by Zhang Yi!
In just half a year, he walked three thousand miles from Chang'an to Lingnan, and he was the only one among the many servants of the original owner who was willing to follow him.

It is said that in ancient times, the separation was the separation between heaven and man, because of the blockage of traffic, it often takes a year or even longer to go back and forth, which also includes various factors such as bandits, thieves, and illnesses. In the era of personal names, Zhang Yi really couldn't imagine how this old man walked this long road.

Perhaps in his heart he never thought of giving up!

In the deepest memory of his head is the memory of Lao Zhong. This fat face that was originally blessed has now become frighteningly skinny. The traces of wind and frost baptism make him feel like he has gone to hell once.

And the black hair of the past has also become like straw, constantly fluctuating and falling away in the breeze, making it look more old and vicissitudes, and it is completely different from that majestic housekeeper.

Fortunately, people are not old people. Although Zhang Yi once again deeply felt the coldness of the world, he was not angry. After all, no one would be willing to follow an exiled son to the Lingnan waited for death and compared his heart to heart. If it were him, he would probably have made the same choice.

After all, no one's life is as important as your own!

"We made a deal with someone, and we will soon have a lot of fish that we can't finish eating, and maybe we can exchange some rice or other things with merchants in the city!" Zhang Yi showed a sunny smile on his face again, As if doing a trivial thing, he handed over the crutch that he just made in his hand and said, "Try it and see if it works?"

"Master! I am my slave." Lao Zhong was so moved that tears filled his eyes and he was speechless.

The cane made by the young master himself!

Although it is very rough and simple without any pattern, the handle is polished very smooth. Old Zhong can even think that the young master must have considered himself when polishing it, so it will be more smooth.
The moment he took over the crutches, he felt that all the efforts were worth it, but seeing the crab hanging on Zhang Yi's shoulder and the clothes on his body cut by weeds, he felt sad for a while.

The young master is just a son who doesn't stick to the spring water and only reads sage books. He still remembers that when he went out, he would not take money by himself, but put it on the servants.
But now he is so downcast that he has to do such humble things as businessmen with people, and he can almost think of who he is trading with with his toes.

Haifeng County can be said to be the most remote area in south of the Five Ridges. Apart from the officials in the county town, there are only a few merchants. The others are all Baiyue people. Killing and dealing with such a person, who doesn't have his head pinned to his belt?
He is still old after all, not only can't help the young master but also becomes his burden, if he doesn't want to see the young master can return to Chang'an alive one day, he even seems to end his own life now.

"Don't call yourself an old slave. We are the only ones here. Without you, I might have died on the way here! From now on, I will call you Zhong!" Zhang Yi shook the crab and continued: " Let's eat steamed sea crab tonight, it's a good thing, even if you have money in Chang'an, you may not be able to eat such fresh ones."

"Okay!.Okay!" Old Zhong nodded tremblingly. He naturally deserved the title of Uncle Zhong, but the thought of the words in the imperial decree that "Chang'an must not be repaid unless you have made great achievements" made him feel sad again.

As a criminal prisoner, how can we talk about great achievements in the land of Lingnan?Go there again to make great contributions?

The road is very long and full of thorns. It is not as easy as imagined to get up quickly. When the birds began to return to their nests, a dilapidated city appeared in front of them.

It is said that when you are in a foreign land, you are a stranger, and you miss your relatives during the festive season. In fact, the same is true even if you are not in a festive season. Otherwise, there will not be so many literati and SAO guests.

For example, in Haifeng, a place that has deviated from the control of Datang, it is actually a kind of happiness to meet a fellow villager or someone who can speak Chinese.

Just as he was about to enter the city, a carriage slowly drove over from behind. Behind the carriage was a long line of Baiyue people carrying mountain goods. The line almost formed a long queue from the gate of the city, which was very spectacular.

The carriage moved forward without seeming to stop.

In fact, it's no wonder that merchants who can do business in Lingnan are naturally more or less related whether they are in the court or in the army. Of course, it is not a problem to receive some care such as exemption from inspection in Haifeng City.

Zhang Yi frowned involuntarily. If he waited for this caravan to enter the city first, it would be impossible in less than half an hour. Front.

Just as he was hesitating, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open suddenly, revealing a fat face.

The face is very big, but it looks like a young man, about [-] years old, perhaps because of the year-round running around, he looks a little more capable in his rich state, he looked up at the sky and was about to shrink back When I was in the carriage, I suddenly 'Yi! ' with a sound.

Because at this moment, he unexpectedly found that there were two Tang people standing beside the carriage, one old and one young, one of them was dressed as a scholar, and the other was dressed as a housekeeper.

Especially for the scholar, although his robes are a bit worn out and dirty, moreover, there is a long string of sea crabs hanging on his shoulders, which undoubtedly greatly reduces his image, but all this does not affect his ability as a person. The fact that the children of the aristocratic family have fair skin, slender fingers, and more importantly, proper manners, even if they saw a successful businessman like himself, they only made a difference and then returned to normal.

"Stop! Stop!" Fat Face yelled hastily.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a fat figure jumped down from under the shaft in a hurry, walked quickly to Zhang Yi and smiled familiarly: "I have seen the two of you, Shen Kuohai. Dividing the land is also considered a familiar pattern, it is not the place for us Tang Dynasty people to stay, this brother seems very unfamiliar, and he is also here to catch the goods?"
