The old man on the ground smiled crazily, and Zhang Zi felt an indescribable sourness in his heart.
He took a piece of cake and put it in the old man's hand: "Old man, you... take care of it."
The old man seemed to have heard something funny, lying on the ground and laughing.
Zhang Ziwei didn't know what to say at this scene, so he sighed and turned around and left.
Just after taking two steps, several people suddenly rushed out and snatched the piece of cake from the old man's hand.
"this is mine!"
"Fart! Whoever grabs it belongs to whomever!"
"Give me!"
A few people struggled together for a piece of cake, biting and kicking each other desperately for their lives.
Zhang Ziwei wanted to teach them a lesson.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw the old man who was still laughing just now, but he didn't know when he had died.
For a moment, he was stunned.
As soon as the person who finally grabbed the pancake stuffed it into his mouth, another person knocked him to the ground with a stone and his life and death were unknown.
The remaining people turned a blind eye and continued to fight.
Wang Lin sighed when he saw it, and called his men to bury the old man properly.
This is the first time for the Ji family to face such a cruel reality.
Has the world outside now become like this?
Ji Changying sighed when she saw it. After all, everyone only wanted two things: to live.
Whether it's them or the people of the Ji family, they all want to survive.
It's just that in this world, kindness also needs edge.
These government officials also knew very well that they could not take out food at this time, lest they be targeted and killed.
After burying the people, Zhang Ziwei reorganized his team.
A dozen idle horses were also tied to the carriage to pull the carriage, so that the power would be sufficient.
We also made some space on the carriage pulling supplies and put the elderly and some injured people on it, which can also increase the overall speed.
The remaining horses carried their burdens, and the entire team traveled lightly.
Zhang Ziwei once again made up his mind to change his path.
If one road is blocked, then there are two or three.
No matter what, people have to be sent to the place according to the time.
Ji Fengshou looked at the much refreshed team and was a little eager to try: "I think idleness is idle. How about Brother Wang teaching us how to ride a horse?"
Wang Lin agreed generously.
So Ji Fengshou quickly pulled everyone in the family over: "I made an agreement with Brother Wang. We'll have nothing to do on the way. Let's all learn how to ride a horse!"
Hu's face was filled with resistance: "I am a womanizer, why should I learn this? I'd better forget it!"
She was afraid of such a tall horse.
"But I want to learn!" Zhou looked at the horse with bright eyes, eager to try.
After Ji Fengshou solicited the opinions of the whole family, only Hu was not interested in riding horses, while the others expressed their desire to learn.
So Wang Lin was arranged to teach them uniformly.
Ji Changying, a dabbler, studied systematically with Wang Lin for a long time, and then rode Juechen on his horse. He ran so fast that he couldn't see the horse's butt, and then strolled back again.
A face that is so arrogant that even the three brothers are not as good as him.
Zhang Ziwei couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
His hair is turning gray from worry here, but they are just having fun!
This day Zhang Ziwei finally couldn't bear it anymore.
In a friendly manner, he invited Ji Chenyan, Ji Fengyi, the clan leader, Ji Xiuren and several knowledgeable people from the capital to sit together and discuss the next route.
"To be honest, I have changed three routes so far, but the situation is not optimistic. You are all scholars who know more. I wonder if there are any other ways to reach Liangzhou?"
Zhang Ziwei solemnly and carefully took out the simplified version of the map that he had always kept close to his body.
A group of people all lowered their heads and leaned over to watch.
Ji Chenyan had much better resources than others. When he saw this map, he pondered for a moment and said:
"When I was sorting out books at the Hanlin Academy, I saw a map that was more detailed and clearer than this one. I remember that in addition to dry land, you can also build a waterway from Guanzhou to Liangzhou. This is not only faster, but also You don’t have to worry about encountering flood-prone places along the way.”
He squinted his eyes and struggled to find a place on the map, and drew a line from there:
"This is Guanzhou Pier! From here to Liangzhou, it only takes three days by water."
Compared to land, it is indeed much faster.
"It's just that I heard before that bandits are rampant in Guanzhou, and the imperial court has failed to suppress the bandits many times. Therefore, whether they are doing business or going out, most people would rather take a detour than pass by there."
At this point someone raised questions.
Ji Chenyan nodded: "That's true. I've heard such rumors too."
A group of people analyzed it for a long time. If they walked elsewhere, it would either take two months longer, or the risk would be similar to Guanzhou.
Zhang Ziwei was at war with heaven and man in his heart. Not only did the waterway to Guanzhou greatly shorten the time, but he could also pass by the prosperous Tongzhou along the way.
At that time, whether it is purchasing things needed along the way or selling those horses, everything will be much more convenient.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Just take the Guanzhou waterway!"
Now that the decision was made, the few people who were arguing immediately shut up.
I was very calm when I received the news.
After all, this is the first time many people have heard of Guanzhou.
Ji Changying calculated the time and realized that the automatic feeders for the two chickens and piglets should be out of food. She found a convenient excuse to bring the black dog into the space.
This is the first time the black dog has been allowed to enter since he was thrown out last time. As soon as he entered, he ran around excitedly.
Especially my own treasures. The first time I go in, I stick to the gold and silver in those old boxes one by one.
Ji Changying was silent. Could it be that she really looked like a doting master?
Or is it that she and Black Dog have a mutual affinity?
But after checking the things in the space, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It had been prepared that some of the things in the space would be knocked out by the two horses.
Unexpectedly, the two horses only ran around in the open space and wandered around, but did not destroy the fruits, vegetables and grain grown by Ji Changying.
On the contrary, a lot of weeds were gnawed away, and some corn was also gnawed.
But Ji Changying can completely accept this loss.
for the horse did not waste it, but ate it all.
She simply circled a large open area specifically for the horses to exercise, and put a lot of food in it for them to eat and drink.
After the automatic feeders in the pig house and chicken house were filled, she suddenly remembered something important while watching the piglets humming.
Does this pig have any meat?
Thinking of this, she lifted Pig Lingkong up with her mental power, then spread her limbs and looked at it.
This pig is really worthless!
After spraying the surrounding area with disinfectant, apply iodophor on the important parts. She raised the knife with her hand!
By the time the piglet reacted and screamed, it had already completed a major event in its life.
