In ancient times, there were morning bells and evening drums. In the morning, the bell tower would ring the bell, the city gate would open, and people would start to move around. At night, drums are played in the Drum Tower, the city gates are closed, and people are under curfew.
Shancai was afraid that the exile team would leave early, so he waited at the city gate. When the bell rang and the city gate opened, he quickly came to the inn.
Yesterday, the food was rich and delicious. The guards drank too much wine, so they got up a little late today. Shancai happened to catch up with the group of prisoners who were about to set off.
"Miss Caiwei, take these!" This is a bag of broken silver coins of different sizes. It must be the silver from the delicatessen shop yesterday.
Caiwei couldn't refuse the shopkeeper and Shancai's sincerity, so she took the money and gave it back with recipes such as roast duck! The two parted in tears!
Leaving Chengzhou City in the north, we traveled for many days and arrived at Yanmen Mountain. The vast mountains stretch for thousands of miles, separating the Central Plains and the Northland.
In order to facilitate transportation, an official road was opened in the mountains. This official road is not much different from the official road when leaving the capital. The road is bumpy and difficult to navigate.
This is nothing. There are many carriages in the exile team. The vehicles pass by, flying sand and rocks, smoke and dust billowing. The entire team eats dirt until they are full.
It is true as many people say, "On a sunny day, you are covered in dirt, but on a rainy day, your feet are mud!"
Fortunately it didn't rain these days, but unfortunately the weather in the mountains has turned cold.
Taking advantage of the two-quarter hour lunch break, people changed into cotton clothes. Some people have lived in the Central Plains for many generations and do not know the coldness of the north. When Ji Kuodai bought clothes, he was too smart and did not buy them. The result is now tragic!
The thin clothes were covered with a gray-white prison uniform, which could not block the cold wind in the mountains. The arms were tightly held together, but it had no effect at all. When the black corn was smeared with water in the stomach, oh my God! From the inner abdomen to the skin, the whole body feels cool.
Ji Kuo was very satisfied, smiled slightly, and shouted loudly: "Cotton coats and cotton trousers cost forty taels of silver per set. If you want to buy them, hurry up. Don't wait until the expiry date!"
Damn it! The price has doubled in just a few days! Although cotton-padded clothes are expensive, life-saving is the first priority. I greet Ji Kuo’s eighteen generations of ancestors in my heart and bite the bullet and buy it!
In the past, during the two-quarter-hour lunch break, the prisoners were reluctant to set off. Today, they kept urging, "Master Ji, Master Ji, go quickly!!"
"Master Ji, it's a long way to go, please set off quickly!"
……………
Just like modern jobs, there is performance pay for escorting prisoners to the border! It doesn't matter if one or two die. If more than one-tenth of the prisoners die, their wages will be deducted. Any more will be serious. Not to mention internal punishments. In severe cases, they will lose their freedom and be reduced to these people. of prisoners.
Ji Kuo was a hereditary official, and his father had told him to be gentle and considerate of the prisoners at such times.
Ji Kuo stopped getting on his horse, held the horse and shouted, "Team up, set off, all running forward!" Riding horses in the mountains is really graceful, but it's cold at high places! It's so damn cold!
When it comes to running, Caiwei has the most say. As a northern student, I have to run in elementary school, junior high school, and high school no matter how heavy my homework is.
Group running requires a neat formation, consistent steps, loud slogans and majestic momentum.
Caiwei told Gu Jingchao the formula while running: raise your legs low, swing your arms together, one two one, move forward!
Gu Jingchao from the Black Iron Tower acted as a mouthpiece and shouted loudly: "Everyone, raise your legs low, swing your arms together, one two one, move forward, one two one, one two one!"
He shouted several times and got the hang of it. He shouted one with his left foot and two with his right foot. Thus, the first sports committee member of the Qiantai Dynasty was born!
"Eh? Master, I think brother Jing Chao seems to have become smarter!" Caiwei said to the eldest lady happily, as if she had discovered a new world.
The eldest lady smiled and nodded, "I feel the same way. I didn't expect that after being exiled, my Chao'er would be a blessing in disguise. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have grudged Song Wanru. Her father, Prince Xian, was also a traitor. A good thing!”
When Gu Jingchao was exiled in his previous life, he didn't eat much and didn't eat much. After arriving in the exile, he was so hungry that he was as skinny as a stick. He didn't become smarter, he seemed to be a little stupid.
The only person who knew this well was Gu Jingzhi. He looked at Caiwei, and Caiwei looked at him, with a strange look in their eyes.
"Could it be..., could it be the effect of the clear spring water?" Caiwei made a mouth gesture like water, and Gu Jingzhi nodded in agreement.
Gu Jingchao, who was on the road to exile in this life, loved the clear spring water in the Weiwei water bag the most. He drank six large bags a day. This water, this clear spring water, was comparable to a panacea. It is difficult for modern high-tech medical techniques to cure gigantism. Can be cured!
Third brother's illness can be cured without Zhang Linggu being an eyesore! Gu Jingzhi thought happily.
When you are in a happy mood, you will be more energetic when running. The exile team meanders forward, giving out surprises and confidence, and turning into a beautiful scenery in Yanmen Mountain!
About a mile behind the scenic line, there are more than a dozen riders, and the cold wind howls, making the clothes rustle violently.
While riding the horse, Gu Nian reached out to cover his cotton-padded clothes. He saw the exile team in front dispersed in the leeward area, and quickly ordered his men to hide in the woods.
Ji Kuo was surprised by the outdoor survival tent designed by Miss Caiwei. He went inside the tent to take a look around, pointed at the chimney and asked, "If the stove barrel extends out here, won't it burn the tent over time?"
Gu Jingzhi introduced: "This is a glass circle made of glazed clay and fired on red pottery. It is fire-proof, so there is no problem if it is fired for several days."
After the stove was lit in the tent, the heat spread out and it was as warm as spring. Ji Kuo walked out and then stepped back, "Mr. Gu, can you give up the two tents to us!"
Caiwei stretched out her little hand and said, "Two hundred taels of silver are the same price. No banknotes, just cash!" Business comes to you, and if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
In fact, there are many such tents in the space. As a native of the north, she knows how miserable it is to have severe cold winters, raging cold winds, and no shelter from the wind and snow. She has already prepared tents for the entire exile team to use.
Ji Kuo felt sorry for the money and walked out of the tent. After a while, he returned for the second time and said, "Buy two!"
The carriages that were released and those of the Gu family formed a circle, and several tents stood in the circle. This blocked the prisoners from a lot of cold wind. The heat from the stove in the tents also warmed the prisoners who were scattered among the tents. Stiff body.
Li Ruijiu called Gu Jingzhi the best son of the Qiantai Dynasty who was filial to his parents and friendly to his brothers. Of course he arranged a tent for his aunt Song Wanru. She finally smiled happily, hum! My little servant Yangzi, the world's eyes are sharp. If you don't respect me, your aunt, your spit will drown you!
Some people are relieved, and some people must have blocked lungs. Gu Jingzhi has gained a good reputation in front of others, and he is so angry that he can't sleep. He tossed and turned when he heard three calls of "cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo" outside, and he got up all of a sudden. Gu Nian I went to assassinate Grandma Dong and came back to resume my life.
