Chapter 38 Essays on Journey East
"Mr. is kind-hearted, free-spirited and modest." I'm fine with flattering him.
"Oh? Thanks to the wrong love, my surname is Bai, my name is Shushan, I am the waiter and the owner of this library, how about this, I have a copy of "Eastbound Travel" here, what is your surname, Miss?"
"Gu Jinxiu"
"Okay, Mr. Gu, I settle accounts here on a monthly basis and finish at least two books every month. This book "Eastbound Travel Notes" is a bit long, probably three ordinary books thick. Would you mind, sir? Of course this
The cost is one month. If you finish writing a few days in advance, you will be billed as one month, which is 38 cents per month."
"I don't mind, but if I take it back to copy, I don't have any money to pledge, and I don't know where I can buy inkstones, paper and pens?" A penny stumped the heroic man.
"You are from the Lingxiu Mountain Taoist Temple, right? I have seen this little Taoist boy. There is no deposit required. The shop provides paper, pens and inkstones by itself. Sir, I will wait for you later." After saying this, he took out the books and paper for writing from the shelf.
The pen and inkstone corresponded to the things. I found a square wooden box with a lid, put the things in properly, closed the lid and handed it over.
"Thank you for your trust", he took the wooden box and walked out of the library without saying anything else.
On the way back, he asked Mu Yu, "Where are the herbs that your master and my nephew collect every day? Why haven't I seen them? Don't they need to be dried?"
"It's all eaten by the God of Fire. Otherwise, how would the God of Fire give the fire?" Mu Yu said while holding her fingers while playing.
"Vulcan? Why haven't I seen it before?" Jinxiu looked curious.
"Hehe, this is our secret, we can't tell it to my sister. But the master said that in two months, the Vulcan will have seeds to give to him. That Han Zheng persuaded the master, and the master said to give him the fire seeds." Mu
Yu curled her lips.
"I agreed, isn't that great? Why do you look so unhappy?" Gu Jinxiu glanced at Mu Yu funny.
"But my master said that he would not be able to see anything. Then I would not be allowed to run to the mountains alone, lest he could not find me." The white horse is annoying, and the rider is also annoying.
"It's actually like this. Does Han Zheng know that your master can't see it?"
"I know, that's why he wants to take the master away, saying that he has taken care of the master, but the master can't let me go." Mu Yu was a little sad, and he couldn't let go of the master either.
"Did your master mention my sister and your sister Chang'an?"
"Yes, Master said that the two sisters are kind-hearted. They know that I can invite the God of Fire but never let me do it. They are protecting me."
"Haha, did you tell your master?"
"Well, Master asked me and told me."
"good"
"Sister, Master said he would give you and Sister Chang'an something before asking for fire, but I didn't ask what it was."
"Okay, if your master leaves with Han Zheng, what will you do?" Too young, hey!
"I think I will sleep. Master said that someone will teach me many things in my dreams. When I wake up, I will grow up. When I grow up, a child will come to play with me. When I leave,
, he will sleep like me and when he grows up, he will have children to play with.”
"..." I feel heartbroken, this kind of inheritance method is too cruel.
"Sister, why are you crying?"
"It's okay, the wind is blowing. Can my sister cook some meat for you tonight?"
"Okay, I like the food cooked by my sister the most." Mu Yu was happy when she mentioned it, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. There was a big piece of meat in her sister's basket.
The meal tonight was very sumptuous. I made a large pot of soft and glutinous braised pork, a pot of stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli, a plate of cold cucumber shreds, and a plate of shredded potatoes fried with celery. They were all from the yard at no cost.
I made another radish soup with many small meatballs and a large pot of steamed buns in it.
Han Zheng originally didn't intend to eat, but the smell of the food made people walk into the Taoist temple involuntarily. Anyway, he owed it, so he couldn't miss this meal.
The five people sat around the table, and the sound of eating was particularly appetizing. During the meal, Han Zheng, Chang An and Mu Yuchang started eating, and it was rare that no one spoke at the table.
"The rice you cook is delicious, what's your name?" Han Zheng felt that eating other people's food should not be in vain, he had to know what his name was.
"My uncle's name is Gu Jinxiu, and I am her nephew Chang'an." Chang'an bared his teeth happily.
"Okay, Gu Jinxiu, are you willing to go to the military camp and cook it specially for me and the old Taoist priest?" Han Zheng glanced at Chang'an again, "If your nephew is also willing to go, I allow you to take her there."
"We are foreigners and don't have any firepower." Jinxiu smiled and didn't say go or not. She just glanced at her nephew and saw that she nodded and had an idea.
"I will have fire in the future, I will light the fire and you will cook." Han Zheng felt that he would have fire in the future, so it would be no problem to light the fire.
"Is your station in the north?" Lao Dao suddenly thought of something.
"Yes, it's the northern part of Cangzhou, a land of bitter cold." Han Zheng raised his head and glanced at Gu Jinxiu. She probably wasn't willing to go. She was a little melancholy because she wouldn't be able to eat the food she cooked in the future.
"Beidi, they are coming with us," the old Taoist nodded.
"..." Haha, this is really true, "I took a job copying books in Mr. Bai's library, and it cost thirty-eight cents a month."
"You can write? That's great. There are too few people who can write in the military camp. I came out in a hurry. I didn't bring any money with me and I ran out of dry food. I'll spend your money first and go back to replenish you." He didn't like to take advantage of others.
Especially for girls. Although there is still half a bag of dry food, it is too unpalatable. He is not used to lying, and the tips of his ears are a little red.
"...Okay." She originally wanted to say that she was very busy, copying books, taking care of Mu Yu, and had no time to go to the South and North with them, but if she dared to say that, her nephew would eat her.
"I don't have any dimes anymore," the old man said, spreading his hands.
"....I'll do it, it's okay." Gu Jinxiu glanced at his nephew who was eating delicious food and nodded resignedly.
After dinner, I sharpened my ink and began to copy down page after page.
"Eastbound Travel Notes" is a travelogue type article, including the customs, customs, gods and strange stories of various places. In the first two pages, we know some basic information: This is Fengchen Continent. Fengchen Continent has a total of four sections, oriented by direction.
There are the East Fengchen Continent, the West Fengchen Continent, the South Fengchen Continent, and the North Fengchen Continent. There are several countries on each plate. As for the Cangzhou Kingdom that Han Zheng said is in the North Fengchen Continent, there are three big countries and two small countries.
The three big countries are Cangzhou State, Ningyuan State, and Nvzun State. The two small countries are Qian State and Chu State. Coincidentally, the author of this travelogue is the person from the Northland mentioned by Han Zheng. He wrote down all the way,
It was recorded from the Northland to the Dongfengchen Continent. I don’t know where the current location is, but it should not be Cangzhou State, because Mu Yu said that Han Zheng is a foreigner. Where is this place? It seems that I can only ask Mr. Bai next time.
"Sister, master asked me to bring you an oil lamp. General Han Zheng said he lives next door to you, so you don't have to be afraid." Mu Yu walked in with a smile.
"Next door? What about your sister Chang'an?" Gu Jinxiu was stunned.
"Sister Chang'an and I went to sleep under the tree together. Sister Chang'an said that the horse was very comfortable to sleep on, so I wanted to go too." Mu Yu looked happy.
"Are you going too? Does your master agree?" It's shameful to lie to a child.
"Of course I agree. Master said that Sister Chang'an and I will sleep there for the next few days. Sister, I'm leaving." He put down the oil lamp and ran out quickly, fearing that my sister would disagree if I ran slower.
I sighed, turned on the oil lamp, closed the door and continued to copy. The more I wrote, the more I felt that this was a strange book, and the breadth of it covered was astonishing.
Although Han Zheng's stay cost food, he was responsible for the water tank and vegetable garden every day. He also started to follow Lao Dao and Chang An to the mountains to collect herbs.
