Chapter 431 [Invitation]
So they rushed up together, yelled, grabbed the rope with all hands and feet, and then carefully pulled it up, and at the same time spoke words to comfort the doll in the bucket. After the wooden barrel finally came up from the well, his parents rushed over from the side, wiping their tears and hugging him.
The crowd of onlookers chattered and discussed that this well should be surrounded by a railing.
An elderly person also came over, and Fang Chang said: "Young master is good at martial arts, thank you for your help, otherwise this child is really dangerous."
The parents of the doll next to him also brought their children to thank them: "Thank you for your benefactor's magical skills, you saved my doll, and let's go to sit at home."
So he invited Fang Chang and the surrounding villagers to have a drink at home.
It just happened to be meal time, and the villagers would naturally not refuse such a good thing. They rushed towards this house one after another, saying that they should really suppress the shock.
Fang Chang accepted the invitation and walked in with them.
The villagers let him take the main seat, and then looked at the little doll who had just been rescued from the well. The baby's mother lit a fire to cook, steamed and fried several dishes, then warmed the wine, and served the wine and dishes together. Immediately, there was a lot of drinking and drinking during the banquet, and the villagers kept fighting each other and drinking.
The two older people sat next to Fang Chang as companions, so as not to neglect the guests.
The dishes during the banquet were simple, but not crude.
The new year has just passed, and the food prepared for the new year has not been eaten yet, so the hard dishes during the banquet are tight during the Chinese New Year, and the skin is thinly coated with popular fried pork. Cut into large slices and put them in a bowl Lay the bottom with sweet potatoes and steam them thoroughly. There are also fried tofu meatballs, more tofu and less meat, but two eggs are added for strength, and they are also steamed, and then some sauce is boiled with oily sauce, green onions and garlic in a small pot, and poured on top of the meatballs.
The rest are some scrambled eggs, fried mushrooms, radish and cabbage, etc., which can be considered rich. In addition, there is a large pot of sauerkraut. Although it is called sauerkraut, it is not sour at all, but very crisp. It is very durable in winter and very refreshing.
Although the wine was bought from outside, it should be brewed privately from the surrounding area. It is very cloudy, and the taste is strong but slightly sour.
However, this is also a rare good thing for the villagers, so everyone eats wine and eats happily, and chats with great interest. Of course, their topics often started with what happened just now, and then they talked about various places from adding railings to the well in the village.
Fang Chang took a sip of the turbid wine and asked the old man next to him: "How is the New Year in the village going?"
The old man took a sip of wine happily, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to have loosened a bit. Hearing Fang Chang's question, he replied with a smile on his face and hope: "Last year's harvest was good, and this year's life is pretty good. You see Zhuzi's family has so much leftovers for the new year, and they can still take it out to treat us to a drink. How could it be like this in the famine years when I was a child."
"Of course, last year the imperial grain harvested was a little bit less, and the price given by the grain merchants was good." The old man said slowly, "In the past, when the harvest was good, the grain price dropped. Officials will also try to collect more, and finally calculate in their hands that there will be enough food, but it is still a loss in exchange for money."
"I heard that this year there was a change of people from Bo, claiming to be the 'Rebel Army'. I saw soldiers not long ago. Anyway, it was chaotic for a while, and the collection of grain tax was even delayed until winter. Although the town and county still collect grain That wave of people, but I don’t know why they have restrained a lot. According to what I heard from a scholar, “the government is a little clearer.” I just don’t know how long this situation will last? After all, people are still that wave of people, and I hope it will be like this next year. "
Fang Chang secretly thought that the speed of the rebels was really fast enough. Before he went down the mountain, he saw their soldiers passing by at the foot of the mountain. Now they have reached the north of the Central Plains. In this way, they have already occupied most of the world. The heart of heaven is from the hearts of the people, and the legitimacy of the rebels is already in hand, but they don't know how the situation in the imperial capital is.
He said to the old man: "The dynasty has changed, and it will be better for a few years after all. What happens next depends on the luck of the new dynasty."
The old man immediately came to ask for advice, what is going on with this rebel army, where did it come from, and why did it rise.
Fang Chang informed the chaos in the world, and told the location of the rebels, their current forces, and their banners. Those who were chatting at the table stopped talking and listened carefully, but no one said a word until he finished speaking.
After all, for the farmers on the table, things that are thousands of miles away are too far away after all, beyond their original cognition.
After Xi finished, Fang Chang refused the villagers' persuasion and continued on the road.
This place is not far from the official road. When Fang Chang was walking on the official road before, he heard the call for help from the village in the distance, so he came to rescue the baby who fell into the well. After walking a short distance along the official road, Fang Chang found a big rock, walked over, took out a map from his bag, and laid it on it.
On the map, four ink lines have been drawn. Although they do not intersect at the same place, the five intersection points of the four lines are very close.
This is the position determined from the location of the communication magic weapon found in the four training halls of the enemies. He had already sent Liu Yuande and Yu Qingling the situation in this area before, and the two protagonists of the catastrophe also said that they would mobilize their forces to focus on investigating that area.
Fang Chang checked the direction, re-read the map, and continued to walk along the official road.
He is going to go there to take a look in person, looking for the enemy's headquarters.
Although from the intelligence, it can be known that the enemy has a treasure that can cover the location, but as long as it exists, there will be traces. As long as this headquarters exists, it must interact with the surroundings, and it is impossible to be truly isolated from the world.
After all, they still have to issue orders and exert influence to subordinate forces in various places in the world, and as the headquarters, during this period of confrontation, the exchange of personnel and materials must be indispensable.
At this time, another letter flew from the sky.
Fang Chang unfolded the paper airplane and carefully read the information on it.
Recently, he and Liu Yuande have exchanged a lot of letters, all of which are to exchange things in the world. From Liu Yuande, he knew some of the current situation in the world, as well as some important information in Liu Yuande's view. And Liu Yuande also used the attitude of asking for advice, asking Fang Zhang for his views and opinions on some things.
Of course, the most important thing for the two to communicate is the location of the enemy.
It was written on the letter paper that the cultivators and spies of the rebels had successfully discovered some clues in the area that Chief Fang informed. Therefore, Liu Yuande has already begun to mobilize capable personnel from various places, concentrate on that side, hide, and prepare to launch a surprise attack one and a half months later.
He invited Fang Chang to participate.
