Several of his close friends who were close friends with Wu Song got off their horses to help him, but Wu Song insisted on finishing his obeisance before getting up.
Quietly wiping the tears from his face and nose, Wu Song was about to turn around and leave to avoid being seen crying, but he was stopped by Zou Run.
"Brother, wait!"
Wu Song turned around and looked at Zou Run with confusion. Zou Run hurriedly took out a package of things from his chest and handed it over.
"Looking at my memory, I almost forgot. This is a prescription that my father-in-law went to Cangzhou City to ask a famous doctor to prescribe. The medicinal materials in it are very helpful in treating malaria. Please keep it, brother."
"Malaria medicine?"
Feeling the still warm oil paper bag in his hand, Wu Song was puzzled. He was about to ask, but found that Zou Run and his party had already entered the official road. At this time, there was a blur of back in the distance.
On the side of the empty road, Wu Song was the only one left, feeling dejected and unable to be by himself for a long time.
…………
According to the division of roads in the world in the Song Dynasty, Cangzhou belonged to Hebei East Road, while Yunzhou, where Liangshanbo was located, belonged to Jingdong East Road.
From Cangzhou to Yunzhou, it spans two roads, nearly a thousand miles apart, and passes through dozens of counties. Zou Run and his party went up the Yellow River. Fortunately, they had horses to ride with them. They crossed the entire Texas and entered Bozhou in just two days. During this period, Zou Run also found time to visit the Xuande Temple in Pingyuan County. Fragrant.
When entering Bozhou, the first stop is Gaotang County. Well, yes, Gao Qiu and his nephew Gao Lian were magistrates here (Note 1). It is next to the Luzhi Daming Mansion on Hebei East Road, which is a rich place. of.
The Song Dynasty continued the tradition of the Tang Dynasty in the hierarchical classification of prefectures and counties in the world. The hierarchies were roughly divided into seven levels from top to bottom: Chi, Ji, Wang, Qin, Shang, Zhong and Xia. Among them, Ji refers to the county next to the capital, and Chi refers to the place where the capital is governed. Other than that, Wang County has the highest level, and Gaotang County exists at this level.
According to common sense, the magistrate of Wangxian County may not even be awarded the second-class Jinshi, but Gao Lian and Enyin Guan could blatantly serve as the Zhengyin Magistrate of Gaotang County just after he became an official. The reason why we emphasize Zhengyin County Magistrate is because the number of officials expanded so much in the late Northern Song Dynasty that in some places there was a strange situation where there was both a magistrate and a county magistrate in one county.
I have to say that when it comes to caring for his relatives, Gao Qiu really has no choice.
But complaints are complaints, and Zou Run has no intention of meeting Lao Gao's family again. After all, there is still a hot potato in his village - Gao Peng.
Unfortunately, Chai Jin stuffed a bunch of large and small bags into the team before setting off, which added to the burden. In addition, due to the long journey, one of the horses in the team suddenly became ill and became very anxious and unable to ride at all. It was a critical moment on the road. Although a horse was very precious, Zou Run knew how to distinguish the importance. Naturally, it was impossible to delay important events because of a horse.
I had no choice but to hold my nose and stop in Gaotang County, and found a sheep and horse market. I planned to dispose of the sick horse at a low price first, and then buy a good horse at the market to travel.
There are no decent houses in the Sheep and Horse Market outside Gaotang City. As far as you can see, they are all straw sheds. Behind each shed is a large area surrounded by wooden fences. Inside are a large number of horses, cattle and sheep. . Merchants will go into the shed to inquire about something they like. After the price is negotiated, the buyer and seller go to the tax office in the market to pay the tax. Only after the merchants get a piece of paper with a bright red official seal stamped with the tax certificate can they hold the goods. The goods successfully walked out of the gate of Yangma City, which was guarded by Turkish troops and government officials.
The market was full of livestock, so horse dung and cow dung were unavoidable. The smell was naturally unpleasant. A discerning follower immediately told the village owner not to go in. This trivial matter would be taken care of by them.
Zou Run knew that he was doing everything he could. As the head of the village, he had to do everything he could. He nodded happily. In order to speed up the work, he sent two more people to Niuma City to work separately.
As a result, the team of seven people suddenly lost three people. Only Zou Run and three other followers found a teahouse to rest outside, while taking care of the remaining seven riding horses and three pack horses.
This scene was witnessed by a thin man with a mean appearance in a nearby teahouse.
The man thought: "Horses are in such short supply at the moment, but these guys have a surplus of one. The horses are carrying large and small bags. They don't understand the principle of not exposing wealth. This time it fell into the hands of the master. The master said You have to tell him everything and be a good boy, hehe!"
After finishing the calculation in his mind, the man quietly paid for the tea and pretended to walk out of the shop. In fact, the moment he walked out, he walked around to the back of the teahouse. He pressed his back against the wall to hide his figure while walking forward quickly with his feet alternately. This action was like It was flowing like clouds and flowing water at a very fast speed, but it didn't make any sound at all. It was so powerful.
In a moment, he came to the cow manger outside the teahouse. Under the cover of dozens of staggered horse feet and round belly, he unknowingly touched the back of a horse carrying various gifts, and quietly slipped through the gap between the horses. Peeping at Zou Run and others in the teahouse.
When he saw Zou Runzheng talking to the waiter who brought tea and snacks, the man couldn't help but sneer.
"Hehe, God has given me a gift, so I only took one package, which is enough to drink for a month."
While he was talking, the man's skillful hands climbed onto the packages tied to the saddle. Although the packages were tightly tied, somehow in this man's hands, a heavy package was lifted by dividing it by two in just three strokes. He takes it in his hand.
At this point, this matter should have come to a successful conclusion, but this man was unlucky. The horse he was groping happened to be the sick horse.
The sick horse had an unstable temperament and lost its original docility and obedience. It had become anxious after being harassed behind the horse's butt for a long time. At this time, it gave up without saying a word.
How could he withstand this unprovoked hoof?
There was only a sound of "Ouch!", and the thin man with a wretched appearance was immediately kicked. Under the strong force, the whole person was kicked out three to five steps away, and the package in his hand was even released. Falling not far away.
"How brave! Where did the thief come from!"
This movement was not trivial. Zou Run reacted almost as soon as the man made a sound. He subconsciously moved his feet. His whole body was like a roc spreading its wings. A shadow swept out from the low sky, and in an instant he was out of the teahouse. Li jumped to the man's side.
The man was in desperate need of a struggle, but he was no match for Zou Run's current skills.
Without saying a word, Zou Run flew up and kicked the man ten meters away. Then he rushed in with a few steps and stepped on the man's chest with another kick. The next second, a cold blade came out. The cold light dagger stuck to that man's face.
With a little bit of force, a trace of blood was drawn out.
"Heroes spare their lives!"
All of this happened in the midst of lightning and flint. Even Shi Qian, who claimed to be a flea on a drum, only saw a black shadow from beginning to end. At this time, a mountain-like heavy foot was stepping on his chest, and a dagger was placed on his face. Even if he has the best Qing Gong, he still can't use it.
Seeing that he was not a good person, Shi Qian did not hesitate and begged for mercy on the spot.
"Are you just a fool?" Zou Run stopped moving his hands and looked at the thin, dark man at his feet. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Zou Run is a member of his family who knows his own affairs. The most obvious benefit brought by time travel is that his body has been inexplicably strengthened. Not to mention the conventional statistics of strength and agility, his perception has been greatly improved. There is usually a person beside him. He is always the first to detect any disturbance.
But it happened that this person was actually able to untie a huge bag of belongings without anyone noticing while he was very close. If he hadn't attacked the sick horse with a bad temper, he would have almost succeeded.
This person is really good!
Zou Run's love for talents suddenly aroused.
