Section 2 Revisiting the Old Place (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Section 2: Revisiting the old place (asking for monthly ticket)
The road to Shu is difficult, and it is even harder to reach the sky. This is what Li Bai said. Yun Ye stood on the narrow plank road and looked up at the cliff. The jagged rocks seemed to be sliding down from the top of his head. At his feet was a bottomless river valley.
I don’t know what the river is called. I just know that the servants of the Dou family call it the Dead Man River, which means that many people have been swallowed up in this river. I heard that the local indigenous people also threw dead people into the river, hoping that this river would connect to the sky.
Rivers can bring your ancestors to a harmonious and beautiful paradise.
Yun Ye tried to escape twice, but unfortunately he was caught both times by servants who were proficient in tracking techniques. The bruises on the corners of his mouth have not gone away yet.
There was another bribery, and the reward of one hundred taels of gold attracted the attention of two of the servants who were former rangers. But Dou Yanshan had already taken precautions, and the heads of the two money-hungry servants were still hanging on the wheelbarrow at the back.
Yun Ye's gold gave Dou Yanshan great help. Dozens of wheelbarrows were filled with food, and walking on the rickety plank road was frightening.
Wangcai was vengeful and had not forgotten the Dou family servant who robbed him. Yun Ye looked at Wangcai's huge butt and squeezed the servant's body. The servant who was carefully controlling the wheelbarrow suddenly lost his balance.
Food is important. A servant who has experienced hunger knows how terrible it is. He wants to control the food truck that is about to tip over, so he habitually takes a step to the left. He forgets that there is a cliff outside...
The servant's screams dragged out long echoes in the valley. Everyone was looking at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller. They didn't come back to their senses until they fell into the water.
Dou Yanshan looked suspiciously at Yun Ye, whose hands were tied up. Yun Ye raised his hands to indicate that he could not push the guy down. The servant holding Yun Ye also swore that he did not see any other movements by Yun Ye.
It was only said that the unlucky guy missed the mark and fell down on his own. As for Wangcai, who had big eyes and an innocent look on his face, no one paid any attention to him.
Dou Yanshan prayed for his loyal servant and urged him to get back on the road. No food was lost, only people were lost. This was a blessing among misfortunes.
The team was reorganized, and Dou Yanshan personally held Yun Ye's rope and walked at the front. As the head of the family, Dou Yanshan was qualified in every aspect.
In the early days of Shu, it was cold and damp. There was often heavy fog in the valley, and his clothes were always wet. Wangcai was not used to the cold environment here. He often arched his head against Yun Ye and wanted to go back. It was obviously more
I like the dry weather in Chang'an.
The ring that was worth hundreds of dollars could only be exchanged for a rotten blanket that stinked. Dou Yanshan liked to see Yun Ye in trouble and did not stop him, but he did not allow the servants to take away Yun Ye's things at will. In fact
There was nothing left on it, except a ball of silk thread.
Yun Ye's small knife was hung on Dou Yanshan's waist. He was full of praise for the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the Western Regions. How could it be a gentleman to take something without telling him? He exchanged a two-inch long iron piece with Yun Ye for one inlaid with gems.
Knife.
When you go out, you will starve to death without a knife, so Dou Yanshan left the last bit of dignity to Yun Ye, so that he would not bite his own food with his hands and mouth.
After leaving the plank road, he arrived at the Land of Abundance. Yun Ye completely understood why the Chengdu Plain was called the Land of Abundance. It was not because of its wealth, but because when he came out of the dangerous and rugged mountain road and saw the vast plains, no matter who he was,
, would burst into tears, thinking they were in heaven.
If you want to use a knife to escape in front of dozens of well-trained men, maybe someone can do it. Yun Ye will definitely not be among this group of people. Even if they get to Shuzhong, there is no chance. Maybe there is a way to make money.
That's a good way.
Being good at learning is one of Yun Ye's strengths. Since he came to Datang, he has learned from Cheng Chumo, Lao Cheng, Niu Jinda, and later Li Gang, Changsun, and Li Er.
It has become such a strange mutant now. Li Chengqian always said that Yun Ye's methods seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't explain why. Unless he experienced what Yun Ye had experienced again, it would be impossible to understand.
Now that he is ready to learn from Wangcai, there is nothing wrong with him.
A group of people lived like mice, sleeping day and night. When Yun Ye found some dried mushrooms from the woods, he soaked them in water to make a delicious mushroom soup. As for the mushrooms, there were several brightly colored and delicious flowers hidden inside.
Yun Ye pretended not to see the mushroom.
No one gave Yun Ye a pot, so he had to use local materials. There were bamboos everywhere in Sichuan. Some bamboos could be used to make bamboo tube rice, but some could not. He borrowed a machete to chop down a bamboo, cut off a section, and used a knife to make rice.
Drill a small hole, then pour the rice in, fill it with water, seal the hole, and bury the bamboo tube in the charcoal fire. After a while, the fragrant bamboo tube rice is ready.
The servants of the Dou family couldn't bear to see Yun Ye sharing a meal with a horse, so he cut a thicker bamboo and served him as usual. They also ate the fragrant bamboo tube rice. Everyone was happy, but there was a little bit of discomfort the next day.
The minor sequelae include large red spots all over the body, which are itchy and unbearable. If I can't help but scratch them, yellow water droplets will ooze out.
"Yun Ye, what's going on? You poisoned them?" Dou Yanshan had his own pot and didn't like using bamboo tubes for cooking, so he escaped.
"Sir, the bamboo was used incorrectly, not the poison." The old housekeeper was from Sichuan, so he still had some common sense.
"He also ate bamboo tube rice, why is he fine?"
The old housekeeper smiled bitterly and said: "He is lucky. There is cinnabar in this bamboo forest. You can see that the lines of the bamboo are faintly red. This is what erysipelas looks like. It is because the old slave was negligent and did not notice the strange appearance of this bamboo forest. Yun Ye
He has great medical skills and knows the truth behind it, so he picked a clump of bamboo without red, and these people were tricked by him."
Dou Yanshan came to Yun Ye with a gloomy face and said, "You saw they were cooking with poisonous bamboo, why didn't you warn them?"
"Brother Dou, I am a prisoner. If possible, I would like them all to be poisoned to death. If you were in my situation, would you remind me?"
"Yun Ye, you are my cornucopia now. Think of some ways to make a fortune. Otherwise, your life will be miserable. Seeing that you have food for the horse, tomorrow, you
The food supply is halved."
In fact, it's very good. Everyone has to bear their own food. After Yun Ye successfully sickened several people, his burden was reduced by half. Carrying food bags on the mountain road is a painful torture.
He was carrying two large bags of grain, which were Dou Yanshan's rations. Obviously there was a flat road at the foot of the mountain, so he could only follow Dou Yanshan on small roads.
After walking on the path for most of the night, first of all, the people were tired and the horses were exhausted. Especially since Wangcai had never been used as an animal by others, it was better now. I carried heavy loads and walked on the mountain road every day. Although I had also lied on the ground and cheated, even though I had deliberately
The grain bag rubbed against the tree until it fell off, and only Dou Yanshan's leather whip greeted it.
Seeing that Yun Ye's red eyes were about to pounce on him and fight for his life, Dou Yanshan pumped harder. Wangcai's big eyes were filled with tears. Even when Shan Ying forced him to lose weight, he never touched his finger. Now every time
With a whip, all the flesh on the body trembles, like a wronged child.
At dawn, Yun Ye looked for Wangcai's wound medicine from the new grass buds. Unfortunately, there were only dandelions. In desperation, Yun Ye uprooted the dandelions, pounded them into paste, and applied it to Wangcai's body. It had no effect.
A psychological comfort.
Wangcai's big belly deflated at a visible speed. Yun Ye could hear its growl every day. It was always hungry. Hungry made it have to pick up the instinct of a horse again and start looking for fresh food on its own.
of green grass.
Grain will become lighter and lighter as it is carried on the back. A group of people went to the main road loaded with grain purchased from Shu. This is already the junction of Shu and Nanzhao. The Dou family's many years of management are still effective. The old housekeeper led
In the name of doing business, they left the last city gate.
Dou Yanshan found that people in his team began to die inexplicably. One of them stepped on a hunter's trap while urinating and broke his leg. He was pierced by the sharp thorns and became a hedgehog. There were also two people who were finishing their meal.
Shi suddenly went crazy and started fighting over a small quarrel. Everyone started laughing. The many days of outdoor life made everyone feel dissatisfied.
When one of them stabbed his companion in the belly with a knife, everyone realized something was wrong and tried to hold down the frantic companion, but they were chased by him and fled in all directions with his knife.
In desperation, Dou Yanshan shot down his frantic companion with an arrow. Seeing him vomiting blood and foaming at his mouth, and hissing like a wild beast, everyone's hearts were full of sorrow as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
Dou Yanshan searched Yun Ye from head to toe. There was no poison, and there was no other object except a ball of thread on his body. It could not be Yun Ye's fault.
He accepted the search with peace of mind. While peeling the mushrooms in the bowl and watching the excitement, Dou Yanshan's teeth almost broke when he saw Yun Ye's comfortable look.
The weather was getting warmer, and the creatures in the forest were becoming more diverse. Yun Ye even saw a few monkeys with red lips, climbing quickly in the mountains. Could it be that he had arrived in Nanzhao?
A huge waterfall completely let Yun Ye know where he was. The huge roar made people feel heart-stopping. Only Yun Ye knew that this waterfall, one of the few in the world, must be even more spectacular now.
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Huangguoshu Waterfall is far less magnificent than later generations. The water flow is rapid and falls from the cliff with extremely majestic momentum.
Unfortunately, he only fell a dozen meters before landing. Later, he fell nearly seventy meters.
"How about it, Marquis Yun, you should be the first Tang Dynasty dignitary to arrive here. I never thought that a barbaric land could have such strange scenery." To be continued.
