The boat sailed on the river for a long time until it merged into the big river.
Zhao Lin was amazed because the bamboo raft could travel upstream in the river without any external force.
"Where are we going?" Zhao Lin asked.
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I don't know where it's drifting to."
Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "I don't even know where I'm going, and I'm following you?!"
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Not happy?"
Zhao Linba smacked his lips and said, "It's not bad."
He lay on the bamboo raft, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm just an idler anyway. I won't die if I follow you."
The bamboo raft was still strong, but after it entered the river against the current, it drifted to nowhere.
The gurgling river wind made Zhao Lin feel a little cold.
However, he didn't think it was anything. He just felt that this scene was in line with his current state of mind, which was quite desolate.
The bamboo raft floated all the way until after a long time, I saw some houses and fishermen on the shore.
This scene seemed inexplicably familiar to Chen Changsheng.
It seems like I have been here before.
After thinking about it for a moment, he recognized it.
Isn’t this Youling County?
For the first time in so long, Zhao Lin saw Chen Changsheng's eyes light up.
He paused and asked, "Where is this?"
"Youling County."
"never heard of that."
"This place is inconspicuous to begin with." Chen Changsheng said, "In addition, the river rose and it was flooded again. Now it is beyond recognition."
"You came before?"
"I came here once before."
Chen Changsheng said: "I also met an interesting gentleman."
Zhao Lin touched his chin and became curious about this place.
He would like to know what Chen Changsheng deserves to miss about this place.
The bamboo raft floated for several days and finally stopped on this shore.
Zhao Lin stretched out and moved his muscles, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
"It's more comfortable to walk on the ground."
Chen Changsheng didn't think so. He felt that taking a boat was quite good. He would feel dizzy just because he was swaying around. After adding half a bottle of wine, he would be groggy and not thinking about anything. It was the most comfortable thing.
There are many fishing boats along the way, and many are docked on the shore.
Some fishermen live in Youling County, while some relatively poor ones just build a simple shed and live on the shore. Others buy a slightly larger boat and live there. on board.
All aspects of life are different.
Stepping into Youling County, at first glance, the appearance has indeed changed greatly. A flood nearly submerged the whole place. What we see now is just the rebuilt Youling County.
Chen Changsheng was stunned when he stepped into this place.
But I saw that look.
There was a fortune-telling stall on the street.
There was no one in the stall, but there was a board hanging with the words.
[In the morning, there was a heavy fog on the river. It dispersed within three minutes. The sky cleared up with few clouds and it was easy to fish. However, the sun was scorching at noon, so beware of the heat. 】
In front of this, there were many people looking around.
"The weather is nice today."
"Yeah yeah."
"It's too hot at noon. Let's go fishing in the afternoon and take a rest."
"We'll go now. I'm afraid there will be a lot of boats in the afternoon."
"Let's go."
At a glance, these people are not strong men. Most of them are children under ten years old, then there are women, and the last ones are old men with stooped bodies.
All the able-bodied men here have been drafted into the army.
This place is the territory of the King of Jin. In the early years, the world was in chaos and there was no food at home. It happened to be the time when the King of Jin was recruiting troops. After joining the army, he would have food and salary. Although it was not much, he would not starve to death. Now in Youling County, there are only These old and weak women and children are left doing their own fishing here and selling them to outside businessmen to supplement their family income.
Zhao Lin looked at this scene, opened his mouth and said, "No wonder there are so many soldiers in Jin."
Chen Changsheng said: "The King of Jin helped them when they were in the most difficult time. Not only was he justified in his words, but he also did not do anything to force them to conquer. This is a conspiracy."
Zhao Lin chuckled and said, "Would you like me?"
Chen Changsheng spread his hands, he didn't mean that.
Zhao Lin sighed softly, shook his head and said: "It is true that I am not as ruthless as the King of Jin, but if you think about it, it is just a different philosophy. If it is really said, if the army invades, the soldiers of Jin may escape and escape. If so, In Wei, the people who escaped are probably only a few, and even the common people who are not in the army want to help me."
"It's a pity that you surrendered."
"..."
"If you don't open the pot, pick it up."
Zhao Lin curled his lips and said nothing more.
Chen Changsheng smiled and then stepped forward to the stall.
Zhao Lin glanced at the words on the board and asked, "What is this?"
Chen Changsheng explained: "Today's celestial phenomena."
"Today?" Zhao Lin was startled for a moment and saw that there was no one in the stall, but there were some signs hanging, probably for fortune tellers.
"Is this accurate?" he asked.
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Quite accurate."
"You also know fortune telling?"
"I know a thing or two." Chen Changsheng said: "I have seen some related methods and I have done calculations before. Calculating celestial phenomena is actually not difficult."
"Then you teach me."
"OK."
Zhao Lin was stunned after hearing this, "Really teach me?"
"True religion."
"My son is coaxing people?"
"Forget it if you don't learn."
"Dad, let me learn!"
Chen Changsheng had a look of disgust on his face and quickly stood further away.
Zhao Lin saw this and followed him.
As Chen Changsheng walked out of the crowd.
"Where is this going?"
"Find someone."
Zhao Lin glanced at Chen Changsheng and asked, "The gentleman you are talking about?"
"Well, he should be here."
Chen Changsheng walked forward, looking left and right, looking for a teahouse or tea stall.
Zhao Lin followed Chen Changsheng into a teahouse, looked around and then came out again.
It seems that no one is found.
I went to the tea shop on the roadside and saw no one there.
After walking around for a while, I finally saw a banner hanging in a quiet alley with the words 'Zhongshensuan's Tea Shop' written on it.
Chen Changsheng couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this sign.
"When did this old guy become so conspicuous?"
As soon as I walked into the alley, I smelled the aroma of tea.
This isn't really a shop, at most it's just a private house that has been turned into a tea shop.
But business was good. There were tables and chairs in the yard, square tables and square chairs. Everyone was having tea and chatting, it was so leisurely.
Key tea is not cheap.
There is a message on the sticker: a pot of tea costs a hundred cents, no bargaining.
Zhao Lin took a sniff and said, "This tea is so fragrant."
There were waiters in the yard helping to serve tea and greet the guests, and in the middle of the yard, there was an old gentleman lying on a rocking chair, shaking the fan in his hand and humming a tune.
It's quite leisurely.
When the waiter saw someone coming, he came up to him and said, "Oh, sir, unfortunately today, the courtyard is full. Look..."
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen is looking for someone."
When Chen Changsheng's voice came out.
Zhong Zhengyuan, who was humming leisurely on the rocking chair, was suddenly startled and stopped moving.
'Why does this voice sound familiar...'
