With Liang Yong and others growing up, Wu Yiping finally had some spare time now. The two brothers Luo Hu and Luo Bao were going to go tomorrow. Shoufeng City, a day away from Dafeng Village, sold all kinds of dried fish and prey fur they harvested, so Wu Yiping decided to follow them to the city to take a look.

In the evening, Wu Yiping began to prepare what he wanted to bring to the city. He dug out the 1,000 grams of gold buried, put two small ones in his pocket, wrapped the others, and filled the three magazines, tied the rest in a cloth bag and carried them behind his back, and prepared a flashlight for use on the night road. In addition to these, Wu Yiping also wore a piece of bulletproof vest brought from the warship, and also brought a telescope. Then cooked a few sweet potatoes on the way.

Soon, Wu Yiping got on the boat and went to bed early. Thinking that he had been in this era for so long, he had been wandering around Dafeng Village, a place with a big butt, and never had the chance to go into the city to see the city of this era. Wu Yiping felt that he had a little failure. He was also surprised that he had such good patience. You must know that Wu Yiping was impatient. Whenever he was on a boat, he was the first to apply to go ashore to go shopping......

Early the next morning, Wu Yiping, who was dreaming, was called out by Luo Hu brothers. Wu Yiping looked at the table below and found that it was only 5:30.

"Sir, are you awake? We have to bring things to the city, so we're leaving now, or it's too late."

"Ah! Okay, let's go now." Wu Yiping put on his clothes and brought all the things he prepared: "I said to you two brothers Luo, I have told you many times, just call me Xiao Wu, or boy Wu. Don't always call me by your husband, it makes me feel awkward."

"Haha! Sir, you are a scholar, and scholars are all decent and particular people! We should call you Mr., how can you be as casual as we are the rough guys?"

Wu Yiping has always been a teacher in the village. He shakes his head and teaches the little kids to read and read when he has time. No one sees him when he is training with Liang Yong and others. So now everyone in the village still thinks that this innocent little boy is just a scholar without any power. He doesn't know that his personality is actually very popular, and his skills are more popular than his personality.

Although it was already half past five, there was still no sign of brightness. He held the torch prepared by Luo Hu and the others in his hand; he followed the two brothers to slander them and set off on the road.

After walking for more than an hour, it was already dawn. The tension of walking at night had passed, so I no longer had to worry about my feet slipping into the valley. Everyone talked more.

Wu Yiping also asked about the situation in Shoufeng City.

"Sir, this Shoufeng City is a very prosperous city in the southwest of Dafeng Village; this Shoufeng City is surrounded by a large area of ​​flat and fertile land. It used to be the granary on the island with a large population. The only disadvantage is that the city has no danger to guard, which has caused the large number of officers and soldiers in this city."

"It's just that the drought in recent years has caused this large plain to be basically out of stock, and people starving to death have also occurred from time to time."

"It takes six or seven hours to walk to Shoufeng City. There are mostly mountain roads along the way, which is very difficult to walk, but after passing the Black Tiger Forest, it will be flat; however, it is very dangerous to walk the Black Tiger Forest, and the place is full of cliffs (primitive forests) and it is impossible to pass by."

"When it comes to the Black Hu Forest, I have to talk about it in detail. In the past, the Black Hu Forest had no road to Shoufeng City. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, there was a large village with thousands of people in the Heihu Forest. It took 10 years to build a sky corridor connecting Shoufeng City with wood in the middle of the cliffs to connect the Black Hu Forest and Shoufeng City. Unfortunately, the big village fell after a plague."

"The Black Tiger Forest is now occupied by a group of nearly a thousand robbers, and a Black Tiger Village has been built. The boss is Kang Xiong, alas! This group of robbers is not a good thing. They are the cruelest robbers. They often attack small villages, and many people will die nine times. They are targeted by them and rarely escape."

"I just don't know why, but in the past two years they have restrained a lot, but they say that as long as the village is willing to pay a certain amount of filial piety, they promise not to attack. Now this Black Tiger Forest will pay filial piety every quarter within a radius of hundreds of miles to seek peace."

"It's good! If we have peace of mind, we can also go to Shoufeng City through here! Otherwise, we will have to take a day to get there."

"In the northeast of Shoufeng City, there is also a Lotus City next to the sea. It is the territory of the big pirate Pinghailong. He occupied a whole city and was a person who was more powerful than the Black Tiger King. But he has always been a waterway. He will not do anything to our village on one side."

"Mr. must be tired from walking, right? But we can't rest now, and it will be troublesome if we meet people from Heihu Village. After passing Heihu Forest, there is another big village called Huangcun. My sister will marry into the Huang family in Huangcun. Let's rest in Huangcun." After that, she accelerated her pace.

Wu Yiping was walking while listening to the two brothers' speeches, but he didn't feel tired yet.

"You said that Lotus City is now a pirate, and where is Shoufeng City? Is it still under the government management?"

"Bah! The government? That's just nominal. This Shoufeng City is now occupied by General Zhou and his defeated generals. Like pirates and bandits, they will rush over when they see good things. If it weren't for the price of selling things here two floors higher than other places, we wouldn't have come to this place."

Maybe the two brothers suffered a loss in Shoufeng City, so they didn’t look good when they mentioned that the managers of Shoufeng City were at all. For a while, several people didn’t speak, and the atmosphere became silent. After more than ten minutes, maybe they felt that it was not good to remain silent like this, so the two brothers continued:

"Before the Dutch came, General Zhou was the commander of the sixth-rank army in Lianhua City. More than ten years ago, Shoufeng City and Lianhua City to the east were both big cities led by General Zhou. However, more than ten years ago, the supply fleet of the imperial court encountered a storm and countless ships were sunk. It was at that time that "Pinghailong" gathered and joined forces with dozens of other pirates, and a total of tens of thousands of people launched an attack on Lianhua City. General Zhou's army, who lacked supplies, was soon defeated by the pirates."

"After defeating General Zhou, Ping Hailong occupied Lianhua City and confronted General Zhou who retreated to Shoufeng City. In the following years, their wars of all sizes were not interrupted, and they had won and lost each other. It was not until the Dutch began to occupy Taiwan that they announced the cessation of internal struggle and jointly fought against the Dutch; however, this only showed that the phenomenon was the same as the struggle was endless in private."

"The whole island now has very complex forms. In addition to the Dutch, General Zhou, Ping Hailong and others, there are also local tribes in the mountains, such as the Gaoshan tribe, the Tayya tribe, etc. Their small one or two hundred people form a tribe, and the big tens of thousands are a tribe. When there are foreign enemies, they unite and continue to fight against foreign enemies, and when there are no foreign enemies, they attack each other, which is one of the most troublesome forces."

"Of course, the most powerful person now is the Dutch you mentioned. It is said that their ships are nearly 100 meters long and dozens of ships; Ping Hailong and General Zhou can only bully us. If they really fight with the Dutch, it is like a child. Now they only know how to defend the city, begging father and grandma to pray to the Dutch not to hit them. They dare not take the initiative to hit the Dutch. But I heard that there is a Madou Club in Tainan now holding an anti-Holy operation, and I heard that the fight is being fierce now."

As he walked along the way, Wu Yiping had a basic understanding of the situation on the island, and felt that it was completely like a mess, circling around his head.

It was finally difficult for Wu Yiping to clarify the situation a little bit. And through the prompts of this information, Wu Yiping finally remembered some of the memories of Taiwan that he had known in later generations, and generally knew the major events that were about to happen in Taiwan during this period, such as knowing that the Madou Society would be defeated soon, and then the Dutch colonial rule for a long time...

Time passed quickly. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Yiping and his party finally arrived in front of the aerial corridor of Heihu Forest. They paid the toll to the robbers entrenched here, and then prepared to pass, built with wood in the air corridor in the middle of the cliff.

If you don’t watch it yourself, you don’t know the danger and spectacle of this aerial corridor. She said that she was dangerous because he was chiseling a row of horizontal holes in the middle of the cliff, then inserting wooden stakes into the hole, and finally laying wooden boards on the wooden stakes, which became the so-called aerial corridor. There were neither armrests outside nor handrails on the side near the cliff.

Some wooden boards have even fallen off in some places, leaving about half a meter of pores. Seeing the white mist surrounds below, most people will feel dizzy as soon as they take a look. Even Wu Yiping, who has been trained at high altitude, feels numb on his scalp for the first time.

Wu Yiping walked carefully to the side and looked at it, thinking, "One side is a cliff of fifty or sixty meters, without a handrail, and the other side is a bare cliff wall. Walking on it, maybe a gust of wind can blow people down. If a person falls down, there will be only two roads, one is to see the King of Hell, and the other is to travel through time; and this is also a good place to rob families. If a person is blocked from the beginning and end when walking on it, the fun will be great, unless it turns into a bird flying away. Otherwise, he will have to surrender obediently."

Because he was afraid of causing trouble, Wu Yiping just took a look at the building that was considered miraculous and set off on the road. Walking on the road made of wood, the squeaking sound kept creaking. When the mountain breeze blew, people felt unstable. In addition, there were gaps behind the wooden boards falling from time to time, so they needed to cross them, which increased the difficulty; they were all terrified all the way. Fortunately, they all came safely.

After coming here, the hungry people did not dare to stop. They trotted to Huangcun. After passing Heihulin Road, they could get a lot of land. After an hour, they arrived at Huangcun and finally had the opportunity to take a breath. Wu Yiping and others had the opportunity to take out the sweet potato and cushion their stomachs and rest for a while. As long as they could arrive at Shoufeng City before dark, it was still early, so they no longer had to worry.

When Wu Yiping stood at the gate of the city and looked around, he felt a little disappointed. Shoufeng City said it was one of the big cities on the island, but in Wu Yiping's view, the city gate was made of earth and stone, while the city wall was made of stone as the foundation, and the above was rammed. Due to the lack of maintenance, there were many collapsed places in the city wall. The surrounding moat was completely dry and bottomed out, and only the city gate could barely pass.

At the gate of the city, a group of officers and soldiers wearing hats and dressed in distant clothes were checked and collected the city entrance fee. Wu Yiping and others paid the money to enter the city.

Since the Luo Hu and Luo Bao brothers had to contact us to sell mountain goods first, Wu Yiping decided to act alone; after arriving at the meeting, Wu Yiping started shopping alone.

Shoufeng City is not big. Although the city is extremely dilapidated, and it is almost dark now and there are not many people. People walking on the street are all pale and thin, with dull eyes. There are also Han and barbarians on the street. People coming and going speak various dialects that Wu Yiping cannot understand. Although the Han and barbarians walked together, they did not talk to each other except for buying and selling things. They had a deep barrier and seemed very disharmonious.

Occasionally, there were blond and tall Dutch people who were riding in carriages or walking in a show of power, and they just gave up to the side.

Before he knew it, the sun had set, and Wu Yiping just turned to the front of the inn. "Let's make a living first! I don't know when Luo Hu and the others will come back!"

Fortunately, Wu Yiping got some silver and copper coins when selling fish, otherwise he would have to take out the golden beans and use them.

After booking the room, Wu Yiping came to the lobby and found a seat by the window to sit down. He greeted the waiter and started to eat and drink. While eating and drinking, he enjoyed these real ancient street scenes.

To be honest, the scenery on the street is really not very good. People are worn out in worn clothes, their clothes are patches and patches, their faces are covered in dish color, and they walk slowly and stagger. There is no feeling that some people sway their heads, some sway their heads, and some briskly steps.

When someone met, he greeted him with his hands and chatted, and he just chatted a few words and separated. He did not have the happy smile he had when he met his friends in later generations.

The boss who sells things is weak when shouting. Compared with the shouting of standing on a stool in later generations, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

At this time, several guests in yamen runners' uniforms at the next table had almost finished eating and drinking, and they heard them talking in a low voice:

"Hey! Have you heard of it? Mr. Huang Changfu and Mr. Huang have good goods here again. I'm going to auction tomorrow."

"Oh? Is that right? I won't be some yellow-faced women again this time, right? The good things I said last time are not good!"

"Hmph! That's because you can't afford it. Look at Mr. Wu from the east of the city. Last time I bought two big daughters of watery yellow flowers! Now I can still think of her slender and white thighs, which really makes my eyes shine."

"Damn it! Just blow it! Can you see it? I think you saw it in a dream, right? Hahaha..."

"Hmph! I can't afford to pay? That's because they shouted too high. Those two top-notch ones actually bought a high price of 400 taels of silver. It's really cheaper. Oh! This seems to be the ninth room of Wu, right! Do you think he can get through it? Don't let his sons get cheaper, hahaha!!"

"No matter how busy you are, it's not your turn. You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour!"

"Hmph! If Mr. Wu hadn't given his daughter, known as the number one beauty in Shoufeng City, to General Zhou as his 18th concubine, would he have the comfortable life today? Wouldn't he have just given birth to a more beautiful daughter... Look at his virtues and think about his daughter, but I still don't know if it's his biological child!"

"Hey! I heard that Huang County Magistrate and General Zhou's 17th wife... I don't know if it's true?"

"This Huang County Magistrate was promoted by General Zhou. I don't think he dares!"

"You speak quietly, it would be amazing if someone heard it and spread it to General Zhou."

......

Hearing the voices getting smaller and smaller made Wu Yiping sigh. "The heart of gossip is really something that has always existed!"

Wu Yiping was bored eating alone, so he walked over and said to those people:

"Hey! I've been polite to you. I'm here with my elders. This is the first time I've come to this Heihu City with my elders. I wonder what the good thing you just mentioned is? Can you introduce it to me, waiter, I'll take a few good dishes, and I'm on my head."

The people looked at Wu Yiping with great vigilance at first, and then they saw that although Wu Yiping was dressed in an average manner, they felt calm and peaceful, and they were also clean and clean, not like a threatening person, so they said to Wu Yiping:

"This is my first time in Heihu City, right? No wonder I don't know that Mr. Huang, who used to be an ordinary pig slayer, was a dirty man, and he didn't know how he cursed General Zhou and became the county magistrate of our Shoufeng City in a confused manner. Think about him, a pig slaughter, has he ever studied, can he manage this Shoufeng City?"

So he handed everything over to his master. But he started a business without any money. He raised a large group of evil slaves, who specialized in going into the mountains to capture barbarian girls and strong laborers to auction at Heihu City. Now he is the second person in Heihu City except General Zhou."

Another person will add immediately:

"Yes, Mr. Huang is amazing now. I heard that he has plundered many girls this time. I heard that there are also the best beauties from the Central Plains, and they are preparing to have a large auction in the city square tomorrow." He said that he looked at Wu Yiping very vulgarly: "If you are interested, you must go and have a look!"
