Xiaofeng didn't know what the two of them said after Xiao Han went after his father.
But he could see that after his father came back, his expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he was even a little excited?
"Dad, what good thing happened to you? Tell me about it?" Xiaofeng, who had just drank the jar of medicine and was grinning in pain, asked the man.
When the man heard Xiaofeng's words, the joy on his face couldn't help but fade away. He casually took the water on the table and handed it over, and then said: "It's nothing. It's an adult's business. Children, don't pry!"
"Who's younger?!" Xiaofeng took the water glass and muttered again in dissatisfaction.
"Huh?" The man slowly raised his head and glanced at him.
Although Xiaofeng was bragging in front of Xiao Han, he immediately gave up when he saw his father! Upon seeing this, he immediately shrank his head in guilt: "Ahem, this water is really bitter... No, this medicine is really weak..."
Rest time always passes quickly, and before you know it, three days have passed by in a flash.
During this period, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop came to see Xiao Han three times, but every time, he came and came back resentful.
On the last day, the old man's face was as mournful as if his mother had died, and he almost cried while hugging Xiao Han.
I took so much money from someone, but nothing was found in the end. Even if I can't live with my conscience, do I have to pay back the money? ?
However, the old man didn't know that Xiao Han had already expected such a result, because he didn't have much hope in himself.
Xiao Han comforted the tearful old man with kind words and gave him the returned money. Only then did Xiao Han send the ashamed old man away.
"If it's not here, then there will only be two places, Pingyang and Jinyang. Pingyang, Pingyang..."
After returning to the room, Xiao Han lay down heavily on the bed and closed his eyes to fall asleep. However, in his mind, the word "Pingyang" kept appearing in front of his eyes.
The roads in ancient times were a little different from those in modern times.
It seems that there are well-developed roads in all directions, but if you want to travel a long distance, especially when there is a lot of luggage, you will find that there are actually very few roads for you to choose from.
This is also the fundamental reason why a city of 100,000 troops can't advance even if they are blocked by each other.
Xiao Han knew that the journey from Shandong to Qingzhou was thousands of miles away, and there was a long Taihang Mountains in the middle!
To transport that batch of armor, at least dozens of carts and hundreds of people would be needed!
Such a large team would have to go north and pass Jinyang.
Otherwise, go south and follow the Yellow River through Luoyang and Chang'an.
As for small towns like Yangliang now, the possibility of them leaving is really slim.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the rooster had only crowed twice when a loud bang came from Xiao Han's room.
This was the sound of the door being kicked open. Xiao Han knew that this was Cheng Yaojin without even opening his eyes.
Because this door has made the same sound several times, and I don’t know how many more times it will make it in the future...
"Xiao Han, why are you still sleeping? We'll be leaving soon!"
Cheng Yaojin's loud voice rumbled in his ears. Xiao Han couldn't avoid it and had to get up from the bed reluctantly.
Yes, it’s time to hurry up again today.
After washing up, tidying up again, and finally paying off the food and lodging expenses for the past few days.
Xiao Han and his party set out on their journey again under the watch of the shopkeeper who had collected a large sum of house depreciation fees.
Originally, the caravan was not going to Pingyang, but under the command of Father Xiaofeng, although everyone was a little confused, they still followed this new route.
The journey to Pingyang is not far, and there are many villages and towns in the middle.
Therefore, the team was safe along the way, and they never encountered any heroes or bandits.
It's just this kind of quietness that makes Xiaofeng, who is already able to move around freely, somewhat disappointed.
He really wanted to see the invincible scene of Cheng Da and Luo Er killing everyone.
Speaking of Xiaofeng, Xiao Han had to sigh: Youth is really his capital!
In just a few days, the wound on Xiaofeng's shoulder has begun to slowly heal. If this continues, the wound should be completely healed in less than two months at most.
This made Xiao Han, who was scratched and had to grow for a week or two, very jealous!
The journey passed slowly and peacefully, and one afternoon, Xiao Han and his party finally arrived outside Pingyang City.
"Emperor Century" states: "Yao's capital is Pingyang", which also means that Emperor Yao, one of the three emperors and five emperors, came from here.
In "Yu Gong", the world is divided into nine states.
Pingyang is the land of Jizhou. Jizhou is located in the center of nine states, so it is called "China". The word "China" that we have called for thousands of years comes from this.
The name of such an ancient city made it feel heavy. It was only when Xiao Han got really close to it that he realized that this ancient city, which had been around for thousands of years, had already been devastated.
Looking from a distance, the dilapidated city wall has traces of slashing and burning everywhere. Even the gate tower on top of the city gate has collapsed, leaving only half of the frame. The lone tree high up there is also. I don't know what the meaning is.
However, although this place is very shabby, there are really a lot of pedestrians coming and going.
Even in today's cold winter, Xiao Han saw many people coming in and out of the city gate, and even large trucks pulling goods were not uncommon.
"Master Xiao?"
The caravan boss looked back and saw Xiao Han looking at the city in a daze. He slowed down and landed next to Xiao Han's carriage. He whispered to him: "Pingyang is ahead of us. Once we enter the city, I will go and find out for you immediately." .”
Xiao Han nodded when he heard the words, and his thoughts slowly pulled away from the thousand years of time and space. When he looked ahead, he saw an ox cart coming towards him opposite him.
It’s not surprising to see an ox cart here, even if it’s pulling all coal, that’s okay.
After all, starting from Pingyang, all the way to Jinyang, and then to Yunzhong County, which is now Datong, Shanxi, they are all coal-producing places. If you can't see coal here, then you shouldn't.
What really surprised Xiao Han about the bullock cart was that right behind the cart, there were a few disheveled children with dark hands and faces.
"Child labor?"
As soon as this idea came up, Xiao Han himself laughed first.
Because even if child labor is used, it will not be so small! Not to mention the pushcart, even that cow farts stronger than some of them...
"Boss, what's going on with those children?" Xiao Han asked the strong man, pointing to the children chasing behind the bullock cart.
The strong man glanced there, smiled bitterly and said, "Master Xiao will know this right away!"
"oh?"
Xiao Han and Cheng Yaojin who were approaching were both stunned when they heard this. Looking at the bullock cart again, there was a big hole on the road ahead, but the old man driving the cart did not dodge or dodge, and drove the cart directly over it. .
Then, there was a "bang", and the loaded cart shook suddenly, and some of the coal piled high in the cart rolled down with the vibration.
"Oh~"
The children who were following the bullock cart immediately cheered when they saw the coal rolling down, and swarmed up, scrambling to grab the coal that fell on the ground.
