Two months later. Fu Ke-wei appears on a long-distance train from Xu-zhou to
Nan-yang's. In these two months, he had explored the north and
south of the great river, even far away to the capital city,
chasing the Heavenly Dragon Sword Lu-zhao.
Although the Tian-long fortress has vanished in the world, and the chief
his fortress had also become a cripple, but the Heavenly Dragon Sword which was third out of these nine black-flow heroes, in Jiang-hu had been rampant willingly for forty more years, the illicit money he had collected was already hard to calculate, it could not be guaranteed that he did not hire any more assassins to kill him, if not at the root of this danger, won't he be forever calm"
Last month from a fellow soldier, he got some news, he said,
so he goes all the way to He-nan trying his luck.
At noon, the horse carriage had left the area
hills, into the Ru-he plain, the situation as well
it's getting wet, really like in an oven.
The tarpaulin of the train was already very bad, but to close the blistering
the sun is more than enough.
Of the nine passengers on the train, two were women.
The nine people were sitting inside a carriage pulled by two
donkey, look a little jostled.
The highway was only three zhang wide, there was no wind
blowing, the high wheat on both sides blocked the air
that moves, then the sound feels very hot and sultry, right
like in the oven. The surface of the road from the ground is grayish yellow, after in
grind by the wheels of the car, sinking as deep as almost one chi. As of,
the dust on the back of the carriage rolled up, in half a day the dust might not have come down, and the eight feet of the donkey were
stepping on the streets, lifting dust, right gushing in
the train, make everyone who is in the car
his face was full of earth and his head was full of dust,
sweat in the dust, it's really unsightly and
perceived, whether male or female are all the same, anyone
don't expect to be clean.
Along the way there are not many tourists, sometimes there are two or more
three guys riding horses passed by, they slowed down
his mount, dodging the flying dust.
After a long dry, if heavy rain falls, travelers are passing by
this road will be more difficult, because the road can collapse almost to the knees, the train also can not move at all, must wait until the land is dry and can walk again.
Inside the train, there was a student from Xiang city going to the city
Nan-yang for school, in that year, people who are not in school are considered inferior, with school, only appreciated by everyone, so the thought is embedded in people's hearts.
In the Ming dynasty, every king always had his officials
abuse of power, the weight of taxes, really make
people put out tongues, make it hard for people to live, the sky
angry, annoyed people, the unlucky ones are the people. The student struggles to learn in order to succeed, after success he will
having the position of office, the king does not care from where
origin" Origin pass can be office. However, being an official is better than being a poor person because of being an official
it is the only way out of poverty.
Of the nine passengers, except for two women, who
others consist of farmers, employees, entrepreneurs all exist, and Fu
Ke-wei is probably the only person Jiang-hu is
roam. The run of the donkey train is very steady, the speed is stable, the,
people can't stand it. "Brother!" The middle-aged man sitting across
said to Fu Ke-wei who was closing her eyes rest,
"we're all hot, until the clothes get wet with sweat, you
it doesn't seem like a little bit of heat, you can
closing your eyes to rest in a relaxed manner, you are not afraid
hot?" "Fear of one thing, can or can't resist is one
great skill." He opened his pair of eyes laughing, "fear is also useless, we should try to be able to hold it."
"Ooo! How do I hold it?"
"The calm heart will certainly be cold, the whole body is relaxed, not agitated, think happy things, do long and deep breaths. Try that! Guaranteed you won't have a fever." He calmly said, "water don't drink too much, talk too little."
Finished saying, he again closed his pair of eyes.
"Dust sucks!" said the person wearing the farmer's clothes furrowed his brows, "until at the resting place in front, I'll really jump into the bath as much as possible!"
"This way I've been through several times, in front it seems like there is a time, everyone calls it the White time, but maybe the coachman will not stop the train, must arrive first in the district
Ye can just rest, there you can just soak in water."
"The locals call it the White Kali." The student interjected, "you can see it soon, the two beaches are a few li away, all this white sand is carried by the river. Once the river water overflows, the river water becomes its color
milky white, hence the name white kali."
No matter how much a student, there is a lot of knowledge.
Sure enough his words were not wrong, not for long, ahead
it looked as if there were rows and rows of white sand, some were already covered
rice fields, no grass growing, the white dazzling
eyes, too, look wild. The sound of the wheels of the car makes a loud noise, when passing through
ru-wen Bridge, the view has changed.
In front of the dust soaring high up, one carriage clearly. It's a long rope carriage, four horses all horses
electives. With wide axles, large wheels, small car body, luxury car box with blue peacock picture. The driver's wearing clothes
white moon, sun hat on, standing over the coachman's seat
swinging the whip, the length of the whip one zhang eight chi,
the whip is swung does not stop forming whipers.
In the back of the carriage, four horsemen wore colored clothes
sky blue, carrying a machete or sword, escorting a horse carriage
sometimes looking back, the horse is also a choice horse.
Behind him again, dust was rolling around, a sound could be heard
many horses, at least fourteen horses,
following from a distance of a hundred steps behind.
The main driver was a rude man, he was surprised, maybe he had a lot of experience, had seen something go wrong, twice screams were heard, one sir's voice and another whip, the train slowly pulled over to the left.
The road can be run by three or four trains
cross, the logic if you avoid pulling to the left side of the road, the logic is,
the carriage won't hit a collision, the four-horse short-stringed carriage, the,
can also cross.
Passengers in the train, unable to see the situation ahead, can not see,
just hearing the sound of the carriage and the swift roar of the horse,
they also lazy to let out their heads to see the situation outside
chariots. The two chariots were getting closer, the chariot
ahead like crazy crashing coming.
"Slowly, do you want to die"'' the main coachman shouted.
The person in the carriage was shocked to get up.
