Chapter 457
There is no such thing as street lamps in this era, and poor families are reluctant to light them at night. Even if they are rich, they only hang two lanterns at the door to illuminate a small place, so the streets of Xinlin County are extremely dark at night.

Public health and so on are not within the scope of people's consideration at all. It is normal to walk around at night in black lights and accidentally step on shit.

Although farmyard manure has become popular, manure is very 'precious', but it can't stop some wicked guys from pulling it around...

Coming out of Lin's house, Yunjing's master and servant headed towards the inn.

Song Yan led the way with a lantern, which was given by the Lin family.

Walking on the quiet street, Song Yan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Master, someone is quietly following us, and the other party obviously doesn't know how to follow us. He is not a powerful character. How will the master decide to deal with it?"

Now Song Yan is not considered weak at this level in the middle of the day after tomorrow. On a quiet night, it is not difficult to find a guy who doesn't know how to track.

Of course Yun Jing knew that he was being followed, and it was not long after he left the Lin family, but he didn't care, firstly, the other party didn't show any hostility, and secondly, he didn't bother to care about such trivial matters, otherwise why did he bring Song Yan here?

Probably because he has stayed in a small place for a long time, but he has practiced martial arts for many years but has no use for it. Yunjing found that Song Yan was eager to try, so he said: "If you are interested, go catch it and ask what's going on."

"Young Master, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go," Song Yan said impatiently, and rushed out with a lantern in his hand.

"Don't, it's me, don't hit me, hiss, it hurts, you're my own"

A moment later, there was a scream in the darkness not far away...

Song Yan seemed to be carrying a chicken in his teens, with a bored expression on his face, as if he was saying that I was going to do a big show in front of the young master, and that's the end?

A weak chicken, if you don't hit it, if you don't restrain your strength with two punches, you will kill the opponent.

The lantern was not very bright. Under the dim light, Yun Jing looked at the young man who was captured by Song Yan and said speechlessly, "Young Master Lin, what are you doing? If you hadn't opened your mouth in time just now, Xiao Song probably beat you up as a villain. died"

That's right, Yun Jing, the guy caught by Song Yan, knew him. He was having dinner with Lin's family just now. His name is Lin Tao, 13 years old, Lin Yexing's and Lin Xingyu's younger brother, the kind born by the same mother, he is the first son of the Lin family. one.

"Young master, I didn't see clearly what was going on in the dark just now, and the shot was a bit heavy." Song Yan said awkwardly, what's the matter? Just now, the young master went to someone else's house for a banquet, but when he turned around, he was beaten up by the young master .

Yun Jing signaled that it was okay, it was just a misunderstanding, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that Lin Tao followed in a sneaky way.

Lin Tao rubbed his swollen left eye and said embarrassingly, "Brother Yun, I have no other intentions. I followed you and wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it for a while, so there was a misunderstanding..., hiss , your book boy is really serious"

"If you want to say something to me, just show your identity directly. Look at you, everyone will be embarrassed if you do this." Yun Jing couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

Smiling shyly, Lin Tao hesitated for a moment, looked at Yun Jing carefully and said, "Well, Brother Yun, when will you come to propose marriage to my sister?"

The corner of Yunjing's mouth twitched suddenly, and you followed him secretly just to ask this?
To be honest, this question made Yunjing a little embarrassed, there is no way, who made me get drunk and flirtatious with his sister not long ago, when so many people saw it, it can be said that there was a lot of trouble, it was normal for Lin Tao to come here to ask, after all, It's his own sister.

Although Lin Xingyu is a person in the world who doesn't care about trivial matters, his daughter's family's reputation is still important. If something like this happens, if it doesn't get along well, it will have a big impact on the reputation of both parties, and Yunjing As a scholar, if you have a stain on your back, it will have an impact on the imperial examination. After all, the imperial examination selects talents, and those with a bad reputation will not be welcomed first.

At that time, everyone in the Lin family must have known about the scandal between himself and Lin Xingyu.

Yun Jing had reason to speculate, maybe Lin Tao was instigated by his father Lin Yaohua to follow, after all, his father couldn't just say no to his daughter...

"You're still young, so don't get involved in these things. Your sister and I haven't said anything. It's too early to say that, and we haven't reached that point yet. Besides, your family knows about my situation, understand?" Yun Jing Confused.

Lin Tao may not consider him young, but he is the young master of a rich family. He is very shrewd. Of course he knows that Yunjing has a marriage contract since he was a child, and no one can take away Yunjing's position as the first wife. It was recorded in the government.

Speaking of asking Yunjing to come to propose marriage, to put it bluntly speaking, asking Yunjing to accept his sister Lin Xingyu as a concubine, not to mention anything else, just because Yunjing is Li Qiu's only apprentice does not mean that his sister Lin Xingyu has been wronged. Also climbed high.

Li Qiu is a popular person in the eyes of the emperor. Now that the official worship is the fourth grade, the future of Yizhou and Zhoumu is boundless. With such a master, Yunjing's future is bright. If Lin Xingyu can follow Yunjing, the Lin family will also be able to enjoy the glory in the future, right? .

In today's era, the daughters of wealthy families, especially the beautiful ones, are basically resource chips, and this is the reality...

Lin Tao rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Yun, you and my sister are in love with each other. She has been waiting for a long time, if she waits any longer, she will be an old girl."

Good guy, I just chatted with your sister, let go of myself when I was drunk and didn't stop, and it turned out to be a love affair in people's eyes.

"You're a big kid, I'll take care of these things, it's late at night, let's go back," Yun Jing shook his head and said.

Of course he wasn't the one to lift his trousers and refuse to admit it. It's just that it didn't go to that level. Besides, who knows what Lin Xingyu thought?Just for this, I have to say what will happen in the future.

Lin Tao came to look for Yunjing at this moment, but because he saw Yunjing's portrait in his sister's room by chance, he understood what his sister was thinking. Jing and Lin Xingyu had an affair, so there was a reason for it.

Considering that Yunjing might become his brother-in-law in the future, Lin Tao still wanted to listen to what he said, so he said, "Then I'll go back, sister... no, Brother Yun often comes to play at home when he has time."

As he said that, he turned around and left, young man, there is no logic at all.

Life is alive, after so many springs and autumns, everyone will be forgotten by history. When you are alive, just be more wanton and happy. What others think and say, I am not begging for food in your pot, why should I care?

So, there is nothing to worry about, let everything go with the flow, of course, you still have to take responsibility as a man.

Watching Lin Tao enter the darkness, Yun Jing signaled Song Yan to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Tao's voice came from the darkness saying: "Brother Yun, when the time comes, my sister will follow you, don't go through the back door when you enter the door, at least the side door..."

Hearing this, the corner of Yunjing's mouth twitched, well, this guy has thought so far.

Concubines in this era are not allowed to go through the front door when entering the door. Only the main wife is eligible to marry in through the front door. Concubines can only go through the back door or the side door, otherwise it will be beyond the etiquette.

It's all messed up, it's obviously a wrong decision to visit Lin's house today, but this is life, and there will always be some entangled 'accidents' for you inadvertently.

"No, people are full of swords, mountains of fire and seas of blood and blood. Why did Mao come to me? It's all about the family's faults? Especially these things, if you don't pay attention, you will not be human inside and out. Life is too difficult..."

The inn rested for one night, and the master and servant of Yunjing continued to set off in the bullock cart the next morning.

Yunjing chose the farthest road to go to the Jiangzhou state capital to catch the exam. The journey can be reached in a few days, and it is estimated that it will take a month to go round and round.

Xinlin County can be said to be the starting point of Yunjing's trip. From here, two days later, Yunjing and his wife came to a river.

The name of the river is Qingshui River, and its width is only 30 meters. Although the name of the river is Qingshui, when Yunjing and the others arrived, the water in this river was not clear at all. All washed out.

The bridge was gone, Yunjing and the others had to stop by the river, not only them, there were many people on both sides of the Qingshui River looking at each other silently.

The short distance of 30 meters has become a natural moat that is difficult for ordinary people to cross. Not to mention that the river is surging now, even if it waits for a few days for the river to subside, it will be a troublesome thing to cross the river. After all, there used to be bridges here, so the river And there is no ferry.

"Master, what shall we do next?" Song Yan asked the leisurely cloud scene on the bullock cart.

Where in the world are there so many strong people who come and go? At this moment, there are ordinary people on both sides of the strait who are cut off from the future, and they are very entangled, looking at the other side eagerly.

In fact, it was very easy for Yun Jing and the others to cross the river, even if they were driving an ox cart, but Song Yan did not forget that his young master was an ordinary scholar rushing for the exam.

Yun Jing asked, "Can you make a detour?"

"If we can, we can. Let's go back three miles and walk along the official road in the other direction. After more than 80 miles, there is a bridge to cross the river. But in this way, we will have an extra three days' journey. Unable to reach the town for accommodation,” Song Yan replied.

As a book boy, he is extremely competent, he has made clear arrangements for where to stay and where to go.

"In this case, let's take a detour, anyway, it's not too late for a few days", Yun Jing said indifferently, he is not so much rushing, it is better to say that he is visiting the mountains and rivers, and he doesn't care whether to detour or not. This kind of problem, if you make a little detour, it will hit your heart.

Song Yan struggled: "I just don't know if the bridge that can cross the river will also be washed away."

"Let's talk about it later"

Then Song Yan didn't say anything anymore, and drove back.

This is the case in this era. It is difficult to travel. If a road or a bridge is blocked halfway, it is like breaking the connection between two places. Therefore, once someone contributes to build a bridge and pave the road, it is easy to get the title of a great benevolent person.

In the afternoon, Yunjing and the others were still far away from another bridge that could cross the river, and they hadn't encountered towns and villages, so they could only sleep in the wilderness. Fortunately, Yunjing has sufficient experience in this kind of thing, so the problem is not big.

After a picnic, after night fell, Yun Jing said: "Xiao Song, take care of your things, I'll go out for a while"

Without explaining anything, the cloudscape soared into the sky and disappeared into the night.

Not long after, Yunjing came to the bridge that was destroyed during the day again. The people here had already dispersed. After looking around for a while, Yunjing went to a dense jungle in the distance.

Not long after, he carried a forty-meter-long tree trunk, which was directly placed on both sides of the river, and then the second and third...

In less than half an hour, Yunjing forcibly paved a rough wooden bridge that was strong enough with the trunks of big trees, and left.

"It's just a matter of convenience, and it doesn't take much effort. There are so many people during the day, so it's a bit high-profile to do so. With this wooden bridge, it is also convenient for pedestrians. Besides, it will be more convenient for the government to rebuild the bridge later."

Yun Jing didn't take small things to heart, and he didn't care what people would think the next day when they found a wooden bridge appeared 'out of thin air'.

The master and servant continued their journey the next morning, Song Yan didn't ask where Yun Jing went last night, he knew what to ask and what not to ask because of his duty.

At noon, they successfully reached the bridge across the river. Fortunately, the bridge here was not washed away and they crossed the river smoothly.

Song Yan was a little listless. This was completely different from the wandering in the rivers and lakes he had imagined. He promised to fight and kill, but why didn't he encounter any of them?Hurrying on the road and on the road, many times on the road, you can't see a human hair, so it's better to stay in the town.

Yun Jing didn't know what he was thinking, if he knew, he would just talk about where he was and where he was, if it made you go on a boring journey for several months, you would be so depressed, why are there so many things when you are away from home.

This afternoon, Yunjing and the others passed by a small village and saw a dozen farmers pointing around a family from a distance, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

It was just passing by, Yun Jing didn't care, paid attention to it from a distance, and sighed slightly.

"Why is the young master sighing? Is there something wrong?" Song Yan asked.

Shaking his head, Yun Jing said something that Song Yan couldn't figure out, saying: "The hemp rope is always broken at a small place, and suffering is only for the poor."

Song Yan didn't understand what Yun Jing meant by this sentence.

Without explaining, Yun Jing said: "Xiao Song, after you settle down at night, you should go back here and find a place to bury the people in that house. After all, we met, and we can do what we can, hey..."

"Okay young master", Song Yan nodded, although he didn't know why Yun Jing gave such orders, but he just had to do it.

At night, in an inn in a small town, Yunjing quietly reads a book by an oil lamp. Song Yan came back, depressed, with red eye circles.

He went to that village according to Yunjing Tiantian's instructions before, and then came back from work.

"Master, I have already found a place to bury the dead family," Song Yanhui reported when he came back.

Yun Jing nodded and said, "Well, that's good."

"Master, that family is so miserable, it reminded me of the family members who died tragically, so I bought them a coffin for them on my own initiative, it's a small mistake, please punish me, Master," Song Yan said anxiously, bowing his head.

Spending Yunjing's money to bury others, as a servant, he undoubtedly overstepped.

But Yun Jing said calmly: "It's okay, a little money is all, I won't blame you for keeping people from being killed in the wilderness and accumulating virtue."

Rest assured, Song Yan said with emotion: "I inquired a little bit, the family of three lost their son half a month ago, and the government found their son and sent it back a few days ago, but it was just a corpse. , that couple went crazy and didn't let anyone get close to them. They stubbornly thought that their son was not dead. They guarded his son's body for a few days. Both of them starved to death. Suffering, hey, I understand why Master Tian said that sentence."

The hemp rope is always broken in small places, and the suffering is only for the poor, how true it is.

Yunjing was almost certain that what happened to that family was a follow-up tragedy of the kidnapping of children by a rape organization. This was just what they encountered. How many families would be ruined because of the death of their children in places they couldn't see?
This kind of thing can't be thought about carefully, and it makes people worry about it.

"No one wants this kind of thing to happen, don't take it too seriously, otherwise it will only make people feel that the world is not worth it, go to bed early, and have to hurry tomorrow," Yun Jing said melancholy.

"Well, young master, I'll get you some hot water..."

Running on the road is always boring, but Yunjing is used to it, so he doesn't feel that way, but enjoys it, seeing different scenery and passing through different towns and villages.

It took three full days for Song Yan to get out of the bad mood that he encountered that day. He has been a hard-working person since he was a child, and the incident that day made him feel the same way. He was born at the bottom, and life is too difficult. It is very likely that one blow, for a family, the sky will collapse , and the family is ruined.

This day, the master and the servant were driving on the official road in an ox cart, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and someone blocked the road in front of them.

Two men with horses and knives stood in the middle of the road and blocked their way. One of them bowed his fists and said, "That scholar, please stop for a while. We don't have any malicious intentions. It's just that our companions are dealing with some things ahead. Let us go after we're done." You go over, please listen to a piece of advice, don’t make trouble for yourself, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone.”

The other party looked like a gangster, and his attitude was quite polite. After all, in this country, the status of a scholar is always superior to others. If it is not necessary, ordinary quacks will not easily offend a scholar, even in the wilderness.

Killing a famous scholar is equivalent to rebellion in serious terms, and the government will strictly investigate to the end!

Don't think that if you kill someone in the wilderness, no one will know about it. You should know that wherever a scholar goes, it will be reported to the government. Wherever something goes wrong, the surrounding gangsters will not end well.

The road ahead was blocked, and the sound of fighting could be heard not far away. Song Yan, who had been depressed for a few days, frowned and was eager to try. After many years of martial arts training, he felt that his skills were not weak, and he had no chance to show himself. He couldn't even move his muscles by beating Lin Tao.

Yun Jing shook his head lightly to Song Yan, who had a questioning expression on his face, and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, it's better to have one less thing when you're away from home."

Song Yan nodded and stopped talking, feeling a little regretful.

Yun Jing is a scholar, after all, he is not in the same circle as the Jianghu, and the Jianghu has its own rules, such as vendettas and killings, and the people do not prosecute officials, and the government often turns a blind eye to such things, killing and killing Just leave me alone.

In view of this, Yun Jing is not interested in knowing what happened ahead, let alone join in the excitement.

"Everyone please go ahead, just hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to reach the next town before dark," Yun Jing cupped his hands towards the opposite side.

The other side smiled and said: "My lord is benevolent, I will deal with it quickly, if there is any offense, please forgive me."

Nodding, no more words, Yun Jing sat quietly on the bullock cart to read, and didn't use his mind to observe what happened in front of him, it was none of his business.

Song Yan felt a little upset, you bastards delayed my young master's journey, can you bear it?But the young master doesn't care about you, so it's good luck for you.

The fighting in front was quite fierce, with weapons colliding and ping-pong-pong pong, it was very lively. There were a lot of people listening to the sound, and there were screams from time to time.

However, although the fight was fierce, it was just like that. There was no sword energy and no ground shaking. To put it bluntly, it was just a gang of acquired realm fights. It was nothing more than a small fight. I really thought that a master above the innate level was a cabbage. So easy to come across.

In the final analysis, more than 90.00% of Jianghu is composed of acquired realms.

The sun is gradually rising, and the cloud scene is still calm and breezy. As if nothing happened, read quietly. After all, Song Yan does not have Yunjing's energy-raising skills, and he is a little impatient. Looking at Yunjing, as a servant, he has a reason To deal with some trivial matters for my master, so I thought about it and looked at the opposite side with a frown: "How long did it take you to deal with it? Did you agree soon?"

There is one thing to say, I am walking well, but I was stopped by someone, I am personally upset, he is not causing trouble for Yunjing, even Yunjing himself is a little unhappy to be delayed by others for a long time, everyone is courteous to each other It's human nature, but it's not a problem with you, so Yunjing didn't stop Song Yan.

The opposite said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, sorry, we didn't intend to delay the young master's time, it is really difficult for the enemy, please forgive me"

The so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, Song Yan didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing for a while, after all, he had never experienced it.

The two looked behind them from time to time, as if the matter behind them had not been resolved for a long time and they were also very anxious.

Song Yan had no choice but to bring a small stove and light a charcoal fire to make tea for Yunjing. After all, it is not a problem for his young master to sit around like this.

After another ten minutes or so, the sounds of fighting in the distance gradually subsided.

Then the two people who blocked the way seemed to have received the signal, and clasped their fists towards Yunjing and the others and said, "Young Master, I'm really sorry for wasting your time. The problem ahead is approaching, please go ahead."

Saying that, the two of them moved out of the way.

Song Yan, who was about to make tea for Yunjing, was carrying a purple clay pot of boiling water: "..."

No, if you don’t finish it sooner or later, you will finish it as soon as I boil the water?
"I've encountered this kind of thing a lot and I'm used to it. Let's go. Don't even think about rushing to the next town when it gets dark. Look for a place to spend the night along the way, especially if it seems to be raining today." Said calmly.

Song Yan had no choice but to make a pot of tea for Yunjing, put down the teapot and continue driving.

The bullock cart walked slowly, and the two people blocking the way in front had already left.

Not long after, Yunjing's master and servant saw a messy scene. Ten or twenty corpses were lying on the road, stumped limbs and broken arms were everywhere, the ground was stained red with blood, and the pained wailing intertwined, which made people unbearable to look at.

It was obviously two groups of people fighting once, each with casualties, one side was almost wiped out, four or five injured people were tied up, and the winning side was the group blocking the way to clean up the mess and treat the wounded.

This is the rivers and lakes, practicing martial arts diligently for many years, bleeding and sweating, but in the end, a fight, oh shit, my life is gone...
