Chapter Eleven Where is this
After leaving the house where he lived, Wang Yi walked towards the east under Wang Ning's guidance.
After walking through the martial arts training ground in front of the house, Wang Yi carefully observed the situation of the village where he was in. He also found that most of the houses in this village were newly built, and only a few years at most. It is different from the general houses in this era, which are mainly made of wood. Most of the houses are built with stone strips through the walls, and are built with strong solid, which is very different from ordinary houses.
But now almost all the houses are closed. Wang Yi, who wanted to see the truth, had no chance to walk into the house to see.
The whole village was quiet. The two of them walked for a while but didn't see anyone.
Everyone in the village went out to harvest crops. Where are the women and children in the village? Wang Yi was very confused.
Although Wang Yi has been in this village for many days, he often stays in his house with a yard. Even if he occasionally comes outside, he is accompanied by Wang Zuo and Wang Fu and his son. There are only a few people who know or have familiar faces. It is the first time that those who come to see him who practice martial arts today have seen it. He feels very unfamiliar. He has never met other people in the village. In addition, Wang Zuo and his son have never explained it, so Wang Yi is not very clear about who some people in the village.
"Wang Ning, have the people in the village work in the fields? Why are they so quiet?" Wang Yi asked Wang Ning casually.
When Wang Ning heard Wang Yi's inquiry, he quickly stepped forward, walked up to Wang Yi's side, and replied respectfully: "Second Young Master, it's just that except for a few women who breastfeed children at home, most of the others have gone to the ground!"
"Oh?! Other women without children, and older children, also went to the fields to help?" Wang Yi asked afterwards.
"Young Master, there are no big children in the village..." Wang Ning seemed to react and immediately stopped the following words.
"Why?" Wang Yi became even more confused. In the past few days, he had never seen a child of the same age as Wang Tan, and even had no noise. Today, the same is true. The little kid who was this old and liked to watch the fun the most. When he saw someone practicing martial arts and riding a horse, he would definitely run over to watch the fun. Wang Yi did not see any child when he was practicing martial arts today, which is very abnormal.
"Young Master, the young people in the village have just started their family. Some wives in some families have not given birth to children," Wang Ning was a little nervous. He glanced at Wang Yi and quickly crossed the topic. "Young Master, you can go here so that you can get out of this road!"
Wang Yi stopped and wanted to ask Wang Ning again, but when he saw Wang Ning's fearful look, he also stopped, looked at the road in front of him that seemed to be able to leave the village, and then looked in the direction Wang Ning pointed, and asked in confusion: "Can't you go out here?"
"Young Master, there are only a few roads to go out of the village. There is only one road in this direction that can enter and exit, and the others are dead ends!" Wang Ning quickly explained, "The road ahead of you is in a yard!"
"Oh, so that's it!" Wang Yi's doubts became heavier, but he did not ask again, following the not-so-wide road paved with bluestone that Wang Ning pointed to.
When he walked to the intersection before leaving the village, two people suddenly jumped out of a house. Seeing that it was Wang Yi and Wang Ning coming, he hurriedly came forward to salute Wang Yi. After one of them saluted, he asked in surprise: "Second Young Master, where are you going?"
Wang Yi glanced at the two young men in front of him who didn't look familiar at all, and replied impatiently: "Young master, I'm going out for a walk and see what's going on in the fields!"
"Second Young Master, this..." The two looked at each other with surprise on their faces. The person who had just spoken said, "Second Young Master, you are still staying in the village. The younger one will tell Zuo Bo immediately..."
"No, I'll go and see it myself!" Wang Yi ignored the dissuasion of these two people, raised his legs and prepared to walk out.
"Second Young Master, you have just recovered from a serious illness and need to rest. You can't go out, otherwise... Zuo Bo will come to blame us later!" The two of them took two steps quickly, stopped Wang Yi, and asked for a greeting.
Seeing these two people repeatedly blocking each other, Wang Yi's doubts had reached a very high level. He looked at Wang Ning who was pitiful and didn't know what to do. He suddenly thought of his identity. He immediately lowered his face and stared at the two people who looked respectful to him. He shouted in a rough voice: "Young Master, don't have the freedom to act? If you want to go out for a walk, you have to be the uncle's consent? You can get out of here, otherwise the young master will punish you now!"
Wang Yi, who is familiar with history, knows the differences in the identities between the master and his servants in ancient times. The master's instructions did the servants dare not not to abide by them. Wang Yi had just realized this from Wang Ning, and he also wanted to further confirm whether he was the real master here. If he was the real master, no one would dare to disobey his orders.
I never expected Wang Yi to say this and the two men showed a very surprised look. They looked at each other for a while, looked at Wang Yi with an angry face, and then looked at Wang Ning beside Wang Yi who kept looking at them. Finally, they gave way helplessly. One of them saluted Wang Yi again and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, then be careful. Zuo Bo and the others are discussing things with others in the field in the east. You can go there and take a look!" The man said, and even gave Wang Ning a look.
Wang Ning understood and gestured for a gesture, followed Wang Yi who had already walked out of the village.
Wang Yi strode out of the village, walked a short section along the road out of the village, and then came to a river. Wang Yi stood on the wooden bridge built on this river that was probably about three or four hundred meters wide, and looked back at the village that had been living for more than ten days. No, it might have lived for many years.
This Zhuangzi was built on the edge of the river below the Wangyishu Bridge. It can be said that it was built using the bends of this river. This river flows from the east of Zhuangzi, flows through the south, and then flows from the southwest direction. The north is a hillside that is not particularly high but relatively steep. The terrain of this Zhuangzi is quite high, with rivers on three sides and mountain on one side. From a terrain, it is quite particular. If we look at it from a military perspective, it can be said that this Zhuangzi is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is really a bit of thought to choose to build it in this place.
After a little look, Wang Yi found that there was only one road entering and leaving Zhuangzi from this direction, and it was also next to the bridge built in the river. Looking further away, there were two bridges. I guess they had to pass through this bridge when going out. Wang Yi looked outside the village. In addition to these passages connected by bridges, there were no other gaps between the houses in Zhuangzi. He also inadvertently discovered that there was a particularly tall building in the four directions of Zhuangzi. This made Wang Yi feel that the village he was in seemed as special as a fortress. Those slightly higher buildings should be the place to look at.
Where is this? Is it a bandit's nest?
