Chapter 16: The consequences of ignorance (Part 2) (This chapter is free)

When the boat arrived in the middle of the river, there were fewer and fewer passing boats. When the children saw that Zhao Xing's attitude was full of encouragement and indulgence, their behavior became more and more indulgent. Many children were excitedly singing Professor Zhao Xing's minor tunes while shooting arrows. Most of these minor tunes were songs changed by descendants from Song lyrics.

The river boat first entered the Pojiang River in Poyang, then turned into the Wuyang River, and landed in Jianning. Zhao Xing and a few children rushed to Quanzhou by land, while Huo Xiaoyi drove back on the boat. Along the way, a lot of mountain goods carried with the boat were sold, but the Song Dynasty was a completely self-sufficient small peasant economy era. Except for the ideal price of mountain goods sales in the Poyang Lake area, the sales income was only exchanged for travel expenses in the rest of the places.

The Song Dynasty was a model of ancient Chinese civilization. In this era, all the contents of Chinese civilization had basically taken shape. In addition to the three-season ripe Chameng rice, cotton planting was also very popular, especially in the Poyang Lake area. In order to conceal their weapons, Zhao Xing and others purchased a large amount of cotton cloth in Poyang Lake, sewed it into cloth bags, put the bow and arrow into the bag, and carried only a simple wooden stick with them.

After entering Fujian, it feels like it is two different worlds from the Poyang Lake area. Fujian is mountainous and has very little arable land. The mountain people make a living by going to sea to do business or hunting. There are obviously more people carrying bows and arrows here than Hubei. However, the bows and arrows they carry are all simple wooden bows, and their power is really not worth mentioning.

The road conditions in the Song Dynasty were very outrageous. Zhao Xing and his party spent five days passing through Poyang Lake, but after walking from land for ten days, they walked out of a cliff-long distance. However, this journey was also rewarding. Although the ten children were not old, they held the modified bows and arrows of Zhao Xing and could smash the interception of bandits at a distance. After walking for a few days, Zhao Xing and the others had followed three caravans. These caravans were very tacitly walking behind Zhao Xing and the others. They walked the caravans and stopped the caravans.

At noon that day, Zhao Xing and his friends crossed a mountain kiln and saw a teahouse not far away. They looked back at the caravan behind them. Zhao Xing ordered: "Let's rest for a while and go to the store to drink water."

Zhao Xing is a person who adheres to the principle of "convenience with others and convenience for yourself". He follows the caravan behind him. Although he obviously means taking advantage of the situation and does not pay them protection fees, he must follow them closely to seek shelter. But he does not feel that he is at a disadvantage - he comes to this world alone, can make more friends, or give more help to others, and does not pay extra money, so why bother others to make things difficult for others, so he acknowledges the caravan's follower.

In fact, the children are not tired at this time - as children, they are always energetic. The freshness of their first trip makes them always work hard to move forward, hoping to know what the world ahead is. In order to take care of the caravan behind, Zhao Xing kept lowering their speed. This rest was purely to take care of them.

The owner of the teahouse is a lame man in Gansu. He filled everyone with tea. The fragrant tea in the mountain residence has a bit of the green tea of ​​descendants. The color is green and exudes the fragrance of grass and trees.

The teapot was originally frozen in the well. Zhao Xing, who was sweating, drank a big bowl in one breath. He wiped his mouth and savored the fragrance of tea leisurely and melancholy.

According to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, the elders were leisurely. After Zhao Xing finished drinking tea, the children also picked up the bowls and drank the tea. At this time, the caravan also arrived. They shouted and bought a few pots of tea, preparing to take a break and sweat to continue their journey.

When the teapot was handed to an old customer in the caravan, he hesitated to look at the tea, picked up the cup but did not drink the tea, but just sniffed it. When he looked up, he found that the lame shop owner was approaching Zhao Xing with a pot of new tea, with a pleasing smile on his face and said, "Officialist, is the tea just now too odor? There is a pot of strong tea here. How many cups does the official drink?"

The old guest sniffed the tea again in confusion, his eyes squinted to Zhao Xing. At this time, Zhao Xing sat down with his eyes closed, as if he was savoring the smell of the tea, and his mouth kept clattering... The old guest suddenly threw a tea cup and shouted: "Stay there is sweating medicine in the tea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lame shop owner threw away the teapot and turned over and left, but at this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes, hooked his one leg, and hugged the other party to the ground. Then he shouted: "Warning!"

As he spoke, the children immediately surrounded him and took out bows and arrows and weapons. Each of the ten children was in groups of three to form three combat groups. The remaining Cheng Xia picked up a stool as a shield and stood beside the teacher, holding the wooden stick in his hand in a snatch posture.

There was a jingling sound in the teahouse, and then more than 20 untidy men rushed out. They opened their chests and exposed their arms, each of them looking fierce and evil... The only regret was that they were all too short, and they stood in front of Zhao Xing with swords and guns, like a fierce little chicken standing in front of an eagle.

Zhao Xing's left foot had already stepped on the owner's neck. His 42-digit big foot stuffed the owner's thin neck. The owner needed to try his best to stretch his neck to avoid being tucked by these big feet. Zhao Xing ignored the bandits who appeared fiercely. He picked up the teapot that fell to the ground with curiosity, and carefully prevented the remaining tea from spilling out in the pot.

"Sweat medicine?!...I have always been very curious - since the Tang Dynasty, we have been circulating the deeds of sweating drugs. I often think, if there is sweating drugs in China, then what else is barbiturate salt? It turns out that we really have sweating drugs... I was thinking just now that the fragrance of this tea leaves is wrong, why does the root of the tongue feel a little numb after drinking it? It turns out that it is the legendary sweating drug." Zhao Xing said, poured the remaining tea from the teapot into the pot, picked up the cup and tasted it.
