The journey south was surprisingly easy.
The folks in Yangjiabao didn't have much luggage to speak of. After all, they had already thrown away everything they could after fleeing twice. Now that everyone is heading south together, it can be considered that they are traveling lightly - but this outfit is really a bit too light. After a period of hiding, coupled with the travel and dust along the way, these people who originally lived and worked peacefully in Yangjiapu have now become no different from those refugees.
This can't help but make Du Chengfeng feel a little sad.
I think that when he first came to this world, he was a refugee without any skills, but now, he has become a refugee again.
Fortunately, this time, he is not the only one who is a refugee. The entire Yangjiapu people have left their hometowns and started this promising career.
"Okay? Is this really a good thing?"
Beside Du Chengfeng, Carpenter Li, who was driving the cart, had a toothache.
He has been traveling these past few days and has not done much work. This makes Carpenter Li, who is used to carving things, feel uncomfortable.
"Even if we go to Yanzhou, we refugees will still..."
"At least it's a good thing for now."
Du Chengfeng spread his hands.
"As you can see, it's been a while since we left Jizhou. Has anyone come here to snatch us?"
Yes, although Yanzhou is said to be peaceful, it is only compared to Jizhou. It is impossible to say that there are no road-cutting robbers or evil bandits at all - but on this road, Yang Jiabao and his party did not Even if it was robbed once, it would not even be seen by those who came to blackmail it.
In the final analysis, it is because everyone in Yangjiabao looks like a homeless person and looks too poor.
Even the wild dogs on the roadside shook their heads after looking at it.
"As for the future, don't worry too much... No matter how hard the days are, we have passed. Is there anything to be afraid of?"
This is true. After all, everyone in Yangjiabao has indeed hit rock bottom. As long as they can survive, no matter how they go, they can be considered upwards.
However, Du Chengfeng has been through this experience, so he can appear calm and relaxed. Among the people in Yangjiapu, except for the refugees who were immigrants, most of the locals have become poor for the first time. It is inevitable to feel sad.
At this time, the old Yang Xuan was carried out by several tribesmen.
Along with several boxes full of big money.
"In Yanzhou, those of us from Jibei are outsiders, and we need some money and food to establish ourselves."
Saying this, Yang Xuan bowed his hands to the villagers.
"We are all fellow villagers, so let's not be outsiders. We all came from Jibei together. We should support each other and tide over the difficulties together."
Seeing this old man acting like this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Although the old man Yang Xuan has a soft character, even a bit pedantic, he seems to be very unpopular in Jibei, a place full of martial arts. Even the Yang family in Jizhou, a family with a distinguished history, has been run by him until there is only one village left. , but now after leaving Jibei, the old man showed unexpected resilience.
And that kind temperament has now become the glue that unites the folks of Yangjiabao.
This can also be seen from the journey during this period. It has been a few days since we left Jibei, but none of the folks in Yangjiapu were left behind - even though they could have gone to their relatives and friends and went their separate ways. They were still willing to stay in the team and continue walking towards the unknown Yanzhou.
Of course, there is indeed a reason for fear of being robbed, but more importantly, it is the trust in the villagers around him, and even the old man Yang Xuanyang.
They all believe that the folks around them will never harm them.
Just like they believed in Du Chengfeng's sword.
With Du Chengfeng leading the way, they could even sleep at ease.
What's more, they also share a secret.
"Let's talk about it first. You have to help me hide the matter about Jibei."
This is what Du Chengfeng said to the folks in Yangjiabao before setting off.
As for the reason, it is naturally because of fear of trouble. After all, he had a big battle with He Xiqing, and the entire Jibei was beaten to the point where there were almost no living people. Although strictly speaking, most of the people escaped, at least the visual effect was that Jibei was beaten to death. A deserted white land.
In other words, if someone wants to pass the blame and He Xiqing is dead anyway, should he, as the other party involved, bear this responsibility?
Although Du Chengfeng didn't think that Chen's court would be so outrageous, after thinking about the idiot Wang Gaocheng who was sent to Jizhen by the court before, he didn't dare to confirm.
Therefore, it is better to do less than to do more. Anyway, except for the folks in Yangjiabao, no one knows the truth of that war. The only one who knew him, Governor Liu, had been killed by He Xiqing. As for the others, they didn't even know his name.
Those who fled Jibei could only know that there was a grinder named Du Chengfeng from Yangjiapu. As for what this grinder had done and what he looked like, they had no idea at all.
"So even if it is for everyone to live a peaceful life, please don't mention me and just treat me as if I don't exist."
Faced with Du Chengfeng's request, the folks in Yangjiabao naturally agreed. After all, this strong man had saved their lives several times, and even setting up a shrine for him was more than enough. Just helping to keep a secret is nothing more than a small thing.
We have experienced danger together and share a common secret. Now that everyone has money in their hands, the morale of the Yangjiabao villagers is suddenly high. Even the young men who had become half-dead because of the rush, now picked up wooden spears and took the initiative to protect the team.
Although Du Chengfeng didn't think anyone would come and rob them, it was always a good thing that these young men were willing to take the initiative to do some work.
But who would have thought that these young men would actually catch robbers.
"Kneel down! Everybody kneel down!"
The young men picked up their sticks and hit the robbers on their knees. The five or six robbers immediately knelt on the ground.
But when he saw these robbers, Du Chengfeng was happy.
One reason is naturally that these bandits are too poor. Originally, Du Chengfeng thought that the pile of rags and rags here in Yangjiabao's village would be considered poor, but these bandits in front of him didn't even have any decent clothes. No, I just tied some thatch around my waist to cover my shame.
As for the second reason...
That was naturally because he saw acquaintances among these robbers.
"why is it you again?"
Seeing that the Orion who had robbed him twice appeared in front of him again, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh that this world is really small.
"Didn't I send you to the Governor's Mansion to eat official meals? Why did you come out and rob again?"
"It's you?"
The hunter also recognized Du Chengfeng and jumped up from the ground.
"You still have the nerve to say it!"
It turned out that the hunter was sent to the mine after he was taken away by the soldiers in the Jizhou Dudu Mansion. Although he had food every day, he worked day and night - although there was a reason to prepare for war, but This hunter is already thin and weak, and how can he withstand the work of being used as a big animal.
So after Ji Town was destroyed and the entire Jizhou was in chaos, the Orion escaped with several other miners and came to Yanzhou all the way.
He continued to engage in no-profit business such as road robbery.
"Hey... there's no way you can snatch it away like this."
Du Chengfeng, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but shake his head.
After all, he is an acquaintance who has dealt with him several times. He has a kind heart and cannot bear to see this.
So when he arrived outside Yanzhou City, Du Chengfeng handed over the tightly tied robbers to the gatekeepers at the city gate.
"Although they look like bandits, they have changed their ways and are willing to contribute to the future of Yanzhou."
Saying this, Du Chengfeng handed the rope to the soldier wearing strong armor.
"Just give them a bite to eat, and all they have to do to become a good person is a job."
"Huh? It just so happens that the academy construction site is short of manpower, so thank you to the warrior."
One of the soldiers bowed his hand to Du Chengfeng and left with the bandits.
But just when Du Chengfeng wanted to follow him, several other soldiers stopped him.
"When you enter the city, register first. Where are you from? What are you here for? And take out your bag and the contents of your saddle bag. When I see those weapons, I have to register them too."
"……ah?"
Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.
On the first day he arrived in Yanzhou City, Du Chengfeng could already feel the difference between this place and Jizhou.
First of all, there is security check here.
The second thing is that if you do good things here, you won’t be paid.
