Chapter 182 The White Monkey
Chapter 182 White Monkey
When they set off the next day, there were two more people in Wang Kuang's team, namely the beggar father and son. As Wang Kuang expected, the so-called "father and son" came to him. The two did not look similar, but they called them father and son. They were going to Jianzhou to find relatives. When Wang Kuang and his group were also heading to Jianzhou, they begged to ask Wang Kuang to take them with them.
Since the other party came to the door, why would Wang Kuang refuse? Manager Li had already reported to Wang Kuang when he came back. Miao Wu and the others discovered that a pair of beggars dressed out of Xiuxiangfang at noon. They followed the two and one by one to confirm that Wang Kuang could naturally confirm. In the whole of Chang'an, there may be beggars in the east and west cities, the Fang District in the southwest corner and some major streets. Other places, let alone Xiuxiangfang, even in Shengpingfang where the Lin Mansion is located, beggars cannot enter. But they can actually come out of Xiuxiangfang, so they are too capable? Miao Wu and the others dressed so glamorously and couldn't enter Xiuxiangfang.
Originally, Huang Dayi heard that a pair of beggar-like people came out of Xiuxiangfang and wanted to bombard the fake beggars, just kidding, and letting a pair of dangerous elements stay by the little Dong's house. How could he feel at ease? But Wang Kuang stopped him. Instead of waiting for Fatty Li to send someone secretly over in the future, it would be better to let this pair of exposed people stay under his nose and monitor it better.
Manager Li also agreed to let the fake beggars stay. This is obvious that Manager Li has much more experience in dealing with these things than Huang Da. After all, he has lived in Chang'an for a long time. Perhaps he is not as good as Huang Da in folk affairs, but he is much better than Huang Da in strategy.
Therefore, the next day, there were two more people in the team. The old beggar claimed that his surname was Xu and Xingsan. Everyone called him Xu San, saying that he was originally from Muzhou and his brothers had passed away. He was the only one left in his clan. He fled and lost his wife and children in the war. Only his youngest son Xu Xiaoqi followed him and begged in Chang'an for more than ten years. Now he finally found out whereabouts of his family. It is said that someone had seen him in Jianzhou, so he set out to Jianzhou to find relatives.
It's all about the loopholes. It depends on his youngest son who is only in his early forties. His youngest son is seven years old, but he is fourteen or five years old. In fact, he should have a young son in less than thirty years old. Even if he only gave birth to a boy but not a girl in the front, wouldn't that mean he started giving birth to a child at the age of thirteen or fourteen and got married at the age of eleven or twelve? And if he had seven consecutive babies, he would have a boy, which would be too weird. If there was a daughter in front (daughter was not ranked), then it would have started giving birth to a child at the age of seven or eight?
Wang Kuang naturally would not pick on his own. He "believe" their words and looked sympathetic, saying that after he arrived in Jianzhou, he would help inquire about the whereabouts of his family. Wang Xian also had sympathy, and sent food to the father and son, and soon got into a squatting with Xu Xiaoqi. Wang Kuang laughed secretly, and this second son, who followed him every day, actually learned to deceive people at a young age.
No matter what Wang Kuang does, he did not avoid Wang Xian. In Wang Kuang's opinion, Wang Xian must leave himself in the future and face the warmth and intrigues alone. At this time, it is not like later generations. It can allow the child to grow up and graduate from college, and then enter society after his mind is mature enough. At this time, the child must start independent at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Some families have poor family backgrounds and are independent earlier. At the age of eleven or twelve or even seven or eight, he must take on the burden of the family. Therefore, it is necessary to make Wang Xian familiar with these things since he was a child, and realize that there are not only good people but also bad people in society. He should let him learn how to face it, so as not to suddenly face it alone in the future.
By then, if he was not by his side, it would be too late to help if he encountered an emergency. At this time, the people were still simple, and most people were honest. People who did not believe in unrighteousness would find it difficult to have a foothold in society. When selecting officials, the most important focus of the inspection was filial piety and trustworthiness. However, Wang Kuang felt that it was necessary to make Wang Xian fully prepared for the changes in people's hearts, and to realize that there were not only good people but also bad people, so he often instilled some so-called thick-black learning in Wang Xian. Unexpectedly, Wang Xian had studied well in the past two years. Perhaps he was not a good material for studying literature, but he was definitely a good seedling for politics.
There was no accident along the way. The Yulin Army's 100-man team followed him. Not to mention the powerful, even the bandits were walking away in sight. No one dared to touch the Yulin's head if they wanted to strode the tiger's beard. That was the emperor's personal army. Sometimes, when they had to pass through the city, whether it was local officials or powerful men, they would send a team of troops to escort the road.
Along the way, Wang Kuang was still the same as when he came to Chang'an. Except for staying at the inn at night, some official roads passed through the city, they basically walked around the city. When they arrived at the meal, they found a secluded place to bury the pot and cook rice. On the first day, the Yulin soldiers who followed him for the first time were a little dissatisfied. However, after they had eaten the meals supervised by Sun Jiaying, they no longer had any complaints and became active in the journey. They all wanted to go to the reservation place to eat delicious food early. Naturally, the veterans who had followed Wang Kuang once became commanders, and they dispatched this to pick up firewood, another to catch wild game, or fishing, or whatever. Anyway, they stood up and said: "I have to supervise you, and if you do something wrong, it's better to correct it at any time, right? I have followed Xuan Delang for three months."
Because of local cooperation, and the horses pulling the carriages were basically replaced by good horses, this is much faster than the bad horses when they came to Chang'an. In Jian'an, Wang Kuang had thought about buying good horses, but Jian'an was too far from the political and economic center, and it was difficult to buy good horses even if they had money. Now, this time, in addition to the four five-color horses that Li Laoer praised were distributed to manager Huang Dali and others to ride, Wang Kuang also spent 50,000 guan to buy twenty good horses in the West Market. On average, one horse cost more than two thousand guan, which is more than two thousand taels of silver. This is also the fact that Wang Kuang has an official now. Otherwise, buying twenty good horses in this breath, the yamen runners of Dali Temple should come to him: Why do you buy so many horses for?
I feel sorry for spending the 50,000 guan. If it weren't for the support of Cheng Chumo and the Lin family, I wouldn't be able to afford it. After all, my current net worth was only about 10,000 guan. Of course, it doesn't include the gold that Li Laoer rewarded. It's hard currency and has to be kept at the bottom of the box.
Along the way, the savage mother and son never made a fuss. They should eat and sleep. They just took her out regularly every day to let her get rid of her hands, and followed Huang Da obediently, as if they were a pet raised by Wang Xian since childhood. So after two days of walking, Wang Kuang simply opened the cage door of the mother's savage, as she wanted, she would go out and go out, even if she wanted to get rid of her hands, she would no longer ask Huang Da to follow her, and she would go with her. On the first day of release, the soldiers were still very alert, and each held a knife handle. As long as the savage was a little abnormal, they would definitely go forward without hesitation and chop it down. Before leaving, Shangguan had secretly advised him, if it was Xuande
Lang had a slight mistake, so they would wait for exile for thousands of miles. This was what His Majesty said in person, so they could not help but be careful. But after seeing the savage's appearance as a good baby several times, these guys were no longer on guard. Those who were brave would even rob the savage's sweet wine. The savage was not upset, but they just hugged the wine pot tightly and refused to let go, and did not hurt people. As a result, when the meal time came, the savage walked out of the cage and squeezed into the crowd, the soldiers were no longer surprised. If they couldn't sit down, they would complain: "You are sitting elsewhere, you don't think you are crowded, and you still think it's a pity. It's said that it's a saying, but he chose another place to leave the place for the savage.
Because he wanted to take a detour to Fangshan, Wang Kuang and his team did not take a boat in Xunyang, but followed the official road to Yun Township (now Yun County, Hubei), and crossed the river south to take Fangshan. On the fifteenth day, the group finally arrived at Fangshan. Wang Kuang and his team did not enter the city, but found a local hunter as a guide and left the convoy to station on the side of the official road. They and Wang Xian and Huang Daze took the savages to the mountain. The soldiers of the Yulin were naturally worried and followed about twenty people, but Wang Kuang did not let them follow too close, but followed a distance of a hundred feet away.
According to Wang Kuang's requirements, the guide brought Wang Kuang to a place with the densest forest and far away from the crowd. Here a stream flowed down from the mountain, flowed into the Nanhe River, and then into the river. From the knee-high weeds that had almost buried the hill path, there were few people walking here, and there were some hunters, but they did not come often. Wang Kuang decided to release the savage mother and son into the mountains here.
Originally, when the guide saw the savage, he was so scared that he shouted repeatedly that he was unwilling to lead the way. But in the end, he saw that the savage had no intention of hurting others, so he was brave enough to lead the way for Wang Kuang. This was mostly due to the payment of the two hangs of money given by Wang Kuang. He had to work for two months and had to take a certain risk. He had to take two hangs of money for just taking the road, and more than twenty sergeants followed him. This seemed to be easy to make money, and no one could give up.
Seeing the little man following him lowered his body and said something to the hairy man, he pointed to the mountain. The hunter was puzzled. But when he saw the big hairy man holding the little man in his arms as if he was holding a child, he held the little man in his arms, and rubbed the little man with his other hand for a long time, he picked up the little man and walked up the mountain step by step and three times. He realized that these people were going to release the Mao man into the mountains. He was strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask. Wang Kuang saw his confusion, but he didn't want to explain anything. People in the mountains and fields were useless to reason, and it was useless to talk about human nature. It was not that they didn't say these, but that they currently supported their families and all obstacles that hindered their family would be destroyed by them.
So, I cannot let the hunters regard the savages as my partner like I did when I saved the porpoise. The mammals in the water have a nature to be close to humans, and the savages are more cautious about humans because of their high minds and are unlikely to become partners to help the hunters. This is inevitable. Wang Kuang can only save one person. Fortunately, it is precisely because the savages are high minds and are not so easy to be captured. This pair can be captured. I thought I had just given birth and were weak at the beginning. Besides, I am not a local parent official, and I can respect you and think you are an official. That's good. If you are disrespectful, as long as you don't hurt you, it's normal to ignore you. I don't have the ability to forcibly prevent the local people from capturing the savages.
When I returned from the mountain, it was already dark, so I could only find an inn to stay for one night. I would go east to Gucheng and go to Hanshui Ferry tomorrow and then take a boat down the river.
That night, the magistrate of Fangshan County naturally led local officials to visit him. He learned about the rumors about Wang Kuang two months ago from the emperor's edict. Even His Majesty had to issue an edict to seek the person who was treated by famous doctors. Why did the people in Gucheng County accidentally treat him? He asked Wang Kuang to move to the county government office again and again. After being rejected by Wang Kuang, he saw that Wang Kuang was indeed not like a false refusal, so he left. He sighed in his heart, no wonder His Majesty attached importance to him. He was so young but so aware of advancing and retreating, and observing the law. He really deserved it. He heard from the soldiers that Xuan Delang was circling around him.
Daofangshan was just to let a pair of Mao people return to the mountain. He thought to himself that Xuan Delang probably liked Mao people. Well, if someone caught him again in the future, he would advise him to release him into the mountains and forests, so as not to be unhappy when Xuan Delang knew about it. That would be a big problem. Fangshan is considered a Zhongxian County after all, and he can become the magistrate of Zhongxian County not far from Chang'an. Which court did not have a classmate of the same year? Otherwise, he would have been sent to a remote place long ago. He had heard of Wang Kuang's good friends with several young masters. Although his rank is a little higher than Wang Kuang, he could not resist the backstage.
Wang Kuang did not expect that Fangshan County Magistrate would help him do something he wanted but could not do in the future. Many years later, Fangshan County Magistrate actually gained benefits because of this, which was unexpected by Fangshan County Magistrate.
Because Fangshan is more than 200 miles away from Gucheng, although it is an official road, it is just a simple official road. There are many people walking in the middle, and the speed of the carriage cannot be raised. They can only walk forty or fifty miles in one hour. If it goes smoothly, it will take five or six hours. If it encounters the narrow mountain road, it will take even longer. Therefore, at dawn, the team set off. Less than ten miles away, and heard long roars in the distance, and the sound seemed to be coming straight to the convoy. The soldiers were shocked and quickly dismounted, took weapons, and protected the convoy in the middle.
Wang Kuang was also strange. He heard the sound, it looked like a man's cry or ape's cry. Only Wang Xian showed joy after hearing it, and got out of the carriage, stood in the carriage, and kept shouting: "Here, here."
Could it be that savage? Wang Kuang also got out of the carriage. Wang Kuang had never heard the savage screaming and was not sure. However, Wang Xian and Wang Kuang had no one knowing each other in Fangshan. Apart from the savage, there was no other explanation. Only Wang Xian would go to see the savage every day to get familiar with it. Therefore, he ordered the soldiers to collect the weapons, but they still surrounded and guarded the convoy.
Before the time for the incense stick was over, a dark shadow ran from under the ridge on the left side of the team. When I got closer, I saw that who was not the female savage? I saw her carrying the savage on her shoulders and jumping all the way, as if she was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was there to go up the ground. Wang Kuang poked Huang Da: "Maybe Dalang run so fast?"
"No." Huang Da shook his head.
Seeing the speed of the savage running, Wang Kuang felt even more relieved. The savage had been recuperating for more than a month and should have recovered. Now that he has such a fast speed, he is afraid he will not be caught again. Even Huang Da admitted that he was not as fast as the savage, so how many people could run past her.
The soldiers also saw clearly that the savage was coming, so they relaxed. Some even greeted him and cursed, "What? Can't I let go of my little husband?" The savage and Wang Xian had a close relationship, and they saw it for more than ten days.
The savage went straight to Wang Kuang's carriage, looked at Wang Xian, looked at Wang Kuang, muttering something in a low voice, and then moved the savage from his shoulder to his chest to hold it. Wang Kuang saw that there was something white on his back. After a closer look, Wang Kuang widened his eyes in surprise. This was a very rare platinum monkey. The one on the savage's back was still a young monkey. He was tightly grasping the savage's neck hair, revealing only half of his body. I don't know if the savage lost his mother and was adopted by the savage or caught it. The savage grabbed the savage's backhand and picked up the savage's savage from behind and handed it to Wang Xian. Only then did Wang Kuang see that the savage's right leg was tied with some blood on the joints.
Then this little platinum monkey probably fell from a high place. Judging from the savage who was careful to catch it just now, it shouldn't be her capturing it, but she discovered the lonely little platinum monkey. Seeing that she was injured and she couldn't treat her, she came to find Wang Xian.
Wang Xian carefully took the little monkey. The savage reluctantly stretched out his hand and touched Wang Xian's head again. Then he turned around and left without looking back. Wang Kuang saw that she had not walked far away. He stood on the hill not far away, facing this side without moving.
"Let's go." Wang Kuang was also a little moved. A savage stood there to see him off. Who would have thought? But they still had a day to hurry up and could not delay, so they waved their hands to let the team continue moving forward.
As for the little monkey, Wang Kuang knew that this was entrusted by the savage to Wang Xian, otherwise she would not have left it to Wang Xian and turned around and left. There was a doctor in the team. As long as the little monkey's legs were not comminuted fractures, it should be no problem to treat them. It won't take long to be a lively monkey.
"Oh, this little monkey is so beautiful." Wang Kuang, who came with the little lady, found out that his name was given by the little lady. It turned out that the name was named "Qiu", which is Tongliyi. No wonder the little lady refused to say it, and no wonder when they went out for a trip, the little maid looked a little weird and blushed at any time. It was a coincidence. When the girl heard the noise in the car, she also came out to see the situation. When she saw the little monkey, she fell in love with it. Is the child's character?
The little maid is the little maid of the little maid. The so-called big maid, as the king of the later otakus, how could he not know the meaning? But if the little maid doesn't say it, the Lin family doesn't say it, he just pretends not to know it. Although he had fantasized that one day he could be a stallion, it was a bit awkward when he was really here. What if he was not, the little maid was still young, and was a little older than Wang Xian. He would take one step at a time and then talk about it later.
After the little maid called out, Wang Kuang remembered that his wife also liked these small animals very much. Unfortunately, the cats were not introduced in large quantities at this time. Wang Kuang had never seen a cat in Jian'an, and he had never seen anyone in Chang'an. It was probably one or two in the palace, but he hadn't seen it himself, but he forgot to ask Foodie Xu and Xiao Liuzi. The tabby cats produced in China should have just begun to be domesticated at this time. It is estimated that there may be more cats in the Western Regions. As a cat lover, Wang Kuang had never had the conditions to raise them before, but now he should have the conditions. Another day, let Li Xiaozi send a message to his father and ask someone to find a few in the Western Regions.
Thinking of foodie Xu, Wang Kuang then remembered that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and even the little sixth son was gone. Wang Kuang left Chang'an and they didn't come to see him off. It was probably because he was sent by Li Lao Er. I don't know when he would see them. The friendship between foodie Xu and Wang Kuang was real, without any utilitarian intentions in it. Therefore, Wang Kuang also valued him the most. On weekdays, he would treat him as his brother, and fight and yell with his family.
Now, when the little monkey is cured, let it accompany the little lady. I believe the little lady will like it. Generally, white animals are basically popular, especially spiritual monkeys. The golden monkey is the most docile among monkeys. The white golden monkey is only available in Shennongjia in the world. The female savage can bring it to Wang Xian for help. Half of it should be that she is carrying the little savage. It is when maternal love is the most abundant, and half of it thinks it is because this platinum monkey is so popular.
After much persuasion, the little maid sent away and promised to give it to the little lady when the little white golden monkey's leg injury healed. The little maid smiled and felt satisfied and went back to report it to the little lady.
Wang Xian was still a child, so he was naturally reluctant to give the little platinum monkey to someone. However, this was given to his sister-in-law, which was also raised by the Wang family. In addition, he also understood that he would take the imperial examination road in the future. It was impossible for him to always take the little monkey to give it to his sister-in-law and ask her to take care of her. So he didn't feel much reluctant. He forgot everything in a while.
He handed the little platinum monkey to the doctor with the team and explained that if the bones could be attached, after the bones were attached, he would use two or three wooden sticks to fix his legs so that he would not be able to heal. Wang Kuang has read many time travel books, and basically said that there was no way to fix the fractured person at this time. Well, it seems that the gypsum fixation method can be copied and used, so let Li Xiaozi report it and give him a credit.
Chapter completed!
