To The Land of Nevernight

The rogues rushed forward, one hugged the big man's waist, and the other picked up the bench and was about to smash it.

How could Tang Shen allow this big strange man to be attacked, he pushed his sister to a distance, and he also took the bench to get on.Regardless of the fact that there are so many rogues, each of them is top-heavy and has no weight at all.The two hooligans tried together to knock down the big man, but the big man didn't move at all, but punched him one by one.

The big man punched hard, and the wind was blowing.Tang Shen was young and a scholar, so if he said he was helping, he was just making trouble by the side.

In the past, relying on their large number of people, they ran rampant in the village, and the villagers did not dare to say more.Now the big man is carrying their punches and kicks, counterattacking from time to time, and Tang Shen's assists.The leader of the Hooligans was beaten and staggered back, his face was stained.

"What are you doing, what are you doing here!" A stern shout came from a distance, and the crowd of onlookers stepped aside, and the village chief brought a few people over.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the rogues spitting blood and spitting in Tang Shen's direction, and ran away.

The village head has nothing to do with these rascals.These few people are all extinct, their parents died early, and they have no relatives or reasons.Don't be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of the earth, if you make a mistake, you will stick your head to you, at worst, you will die.The village head expressed condolences, knowing that the two brothers and sisters of the Tang family were fine, so he asked them to close the stall early and go back to rest.

Villagers helped clean up the broken tables and chairs.

Tang Shen rubbed his arm. In the melee just now, his arm was hit by a bully, and it turned red.Ah Huang hurried over anxiously, looking at Tang Shen's arm, anxious and annoyed.

"Those bloody rogues!"

Tang Shen looked at the big man, and saw an old woman running over anxiously to check the big man's injuries.

This burly man was the one who asked for juice at Tang Shen's stall two days ago.

Tang Shen had delicate skin and tender flesh, and his skin turned red when touched.This big man is full of tendons and flesh, which is supposed to be very resistant to beatings, but he was also beaten by the group of rogues, his whole body was covered with bruises and bruises.He didn't make a sound during the fight, but now Tang Shen discovered that the man's arm was cut with blood, and he didn't know when he was scratched by a sharp weapon.

Don Juan nervously said, "How can such a serious injury be healed!"

Tang Shen said, "Take the rest of our things, and we'll go to see Dr. Liu at the east end of the village."

Hearing this, the man said: "It's okay, little brother, it's just a small injury. Those hobs who kill thousands of knives use street methods, they can only attack violently, and they can't hurt anyone."

Ah Huang: "He said it's okay, it's all bleeding!"

The men wanted to say more, but Tang Shen insisted on taking them to the doctor.The doctor prescribed some medicine, but the man looked embarrassed, and Tang Shen paid for it.The man and the old woman stood on the village road, at a loss. Tang Shen looked at their ragged appearance and asked, "What's the name of this elder brother? From the accent, he's from the north?"

The man said: "Yes, we came from Shanxi."

"How did it end up like this?"

Pain appeared on the man's face, he sighed long and said, "I'm not afraid of my little brother's jokes when I say it, I was originally a nursing home for a family, although I'm not rich, but I live a happy life. Unexpectedly, last month, there was a flood in Shanxi, and the Yellow River flooded. Not to mention my family, even the Juren family was buried in the Yellow River. I had to take my mother all the way to Gusu Mansion to join relatives. Our relatives passed away last year, so we are like this."

Tang Juan hid behind Tang Shen, poked his head out: "So you are a nurse, no wonder you are so powerful, you beat those hooligans so loudly."

Tang Shen pushed his younger sister's head down: "I see, but with elder brother's skills and age, it should be easy to make a living."

The big man sighed and said, "If I was the only one, I would not have to worry about food and clothing anywhere, and I could live as a nursing home for others. But there is also my old mother. I also found a family in Gusu Mansion before. The boss valued me very much, but when they heard that they wanted to support my mother again, they didn’t want me. Little brother doesn’t know, although Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River is rich, there are many people like me who come from other places. Others don’t drag their families with them , naturally he is more liked by my master than me."

Tang Shen understood this truth.

The same package of food and housing, but also a monthly payment, everyone would choose the unburdened one, not this kind of burdensome one.

Tang Shen's eyes lit up: "Have you been to Gusu Mansion?"

"Yes. My relative is from Gusu Mansion. I stayed in Gusu Mansion for more than half a month. I really couldn't make it through, so I brought my mother to the village to try my luck."

Tang Shen said: "Brother, I think we are also destined. I can trust your character." You can take your old mother across thousands of miles, never leave her, and take good care of her.A filial person will not be a bad person. "My sister and I lost our family last year. Brother and sister depend on each other for life. If you don't mind, you can come and live with me."

The big man was shocked and said: "This is not good, how can I receive this favor for no reason?"

Tang Shen smiled and said, "You saved the lives of our brothers and sisters."

The big man refused again and again, but in the end he couldn't, and followed Tang Shen back home.

Tang Juan was a little girl, very fierce at home, but she always listened to Tang Shen's advice in public affairs.When the four of them returned home, the big man and his old mother graciously helped clean and cook, and were busy inside and outside.Within two days, the four became as close as a family.

This big man's surname is Yao, his name is Yao Cheng, and he is the third son in his family, so others call him Yao San.

Yao San insisted on calling Tang Shen his little boss, thinking that he was being hired, but Tang Shen couldn't help it, so he let him go.

For the next month, the four were busy making fruit juice.At the temple fair, they received a lot of orders. With the help of Yao San and Aunt Yao, more than 100 catties of fruit juice were all finished.Some additional orders were received in the middle, and at the beginning of August, Don Juan counted the newly-acquired sixty-six hanging coins and slept in his arms every night.

After dinner in the evening, Tang Shen sat on the balcony outside the house, thinking about the money he earned in the past six months after time travel.

"...Including the 80 copper coins from this morning, it's 23 hanging coins."

Yao San ran out: "My little boss, the quilts in the house are all made up, it's getting dark, come in and have a rest."

Tang Shen raised his head and looked at the sky: "The moon is beautiful tonight, very bright, please invite Tang Juan and Aunt Yao out, let's bask in the moonlight for a while, and I have something to say."

Yao San went to invite people in a daze, and the four of them sat on the wooden chairs in the drying hall.

Yao San: "Little Master, do you have any urgent orders?"

Tang Shen nodded, and looked at Tang Juan: "You have hidden all the money, tell me, how much money does our family have now?"

Don Juan clasped his hands in horror: "You, what do you want to do, you are not allowed to touch my money!"

Tang Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss Tang, is that your money? It's our family's money. Don't mess around, I'm asking you, is there more than 23 coins?"

The little girl nodded reluctantly and mumbled a number.

Tang Shen: "I didn't hear clearly."

"23 hangs and 41 essays! Aunt Yao, he bullied me."

"Okay, don't pretend to cry." Tang Shen's calculations were similar, and he said, "It's like this. From the beginning, I didn't plan to stay in Zhaojia Village for a long time. I'll tell you the truth. In two days, Tang Juan and I I am going to Gusu Mansion, and I may not come back in the future."

Yao San: "This..."

Tang Shen: "Brother Yao, I have never regarded you as a servant. It is a certainty that we will leave, and we will definitely sell this house. If you and Aunt Yao are willing, you can go to the aunt with us. Su Mansion. If you don’t like it, there is a small house in the back room, I don’t have to sell it, it’s a gift to you.”

Aunt Yao said: "How can this happen!"

Tang Shendao: "Brother Yao hasn't established a solid foundation in Zhao Family Village yet, Madam, don't refuse."

The mother and son looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yao San thought for a while, then gritted his teeth: "Little Boss, please give me a night to think about it."

In the early morning of the second day, Yao San came to Tang Shen and said, "Little Master, we will go with you. My mother and I didn't have a home, and you gave us a place to stay. Besides, you brothers and sisters are still young, so go to Gusu Mansion." It's also really inconvenient."

Tang Shen: "If you are worried that our siblings are young and have an accident on the road, you can't go together, brother Yao, don't think about it."

Aunt Yao came out of the house and said, "You are such a rough man, you can't talk. Little boss, don't listen to his nonsense. Although my aunt is old and dizzy, I can see that the little boss will have great promise in the future. San'er Only by following you can we find a way out, and we will go with Xiaodong's family."

And so it was settled.

In fact, Yao San was willing to go with him, and Tang Shen also heaved a sigh of relief.There is a saying he said is good, it is always inconvenient for two children to go to a strange place alone.Even though Tang Shen is a doctoral student in a prestigious university in his 20s, he still looks like a child.If he really meets a bad guy halfway, ten of them are not as good as one Yao San.

After confirming that they would leave in ten days, Tang Shen and Yao San began to prepare their luggage.

Find a buyer first and sell the house of the Tang family.There was also an acre of land originally owned by Tang Xiucai, which was also sold to an old couple from a herbal tea shop.That mu of land was leased to them for farming, Tang Xiucai never knew how to farm, and now it is very convenient to sell it to them.

After getting everything ready and renting a donkey cart, Tang Shen still had [-] taels of money left.

Hearing that the brothers and sisters of the Tang family were leaving Zhaojia Village, everyone in the village came to see them off.

Tang Xiucai is a rare scholar in the village. Although he is pedantic and doesn't like to walk around with his neighbors, he has no gaps with the villagers.Tang Shen and Tang Juan are cute and cute. After selling fruit juice, they get along with the villagers every day. Everyone loves these two brothers and sisters very much.

The sister-in-law of the herbal tea shop stuffed a bag of steamed buns for Tang Shen: "Little Tang Lang, don't starve on the way."

The neighbor's aunt also gave a bag of clothes: "It's all my son's old clothes. Little Tang Lang, don't be disgusted, I heard that things from Gusu Mansion are very valuable."

"Little Tang Lang, why are you leaving?"

"Little Tang Lang, after you leave, don't you run out of fruit juice in the future?"

Tang Shen nodded repeatedly with a wry smile: "Yes, little Tang Lang is gone."

"Well, little Tang Lang will definitely come back and take a look when he has time."

"Little Tang Lang certainly doesn't spend money recklessly."

Well, he did it himself.

Yao San and Aunt Yao took all the things from the villagers and put them on the donkey cart.

When walking quickly, Tang Shen stood in front of Master Zeng.The gray-haired old man looked down at Tang Shen, at this little boy who was only as tall as his own chest.He snorted and threw a package at Tang Shen: "Study hard!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Tang Shen stared at Master Zeng's back as he went away.

The village head said: "Little Tang Lang, don't forget our Zhaojia Village when you go to Gusu Mansion to study."

Many people in the village thought that the brothers and sisters of the Tang family moved to Gusu Mansion to study.

Don Juan said proudly: "My brother will definitely get the honor!"

"Take a test?"

The little girl wants to save face, so how can she say that her brother has no ambitions and is satisfied with being a scholar.She hesitated and said, "That's natural, Uncle Village Chief, will you change the name of Zhaojia Village to my brother?"

Zhaojiacun was not called Zhaojiacun before, but it was changed to Zhaojiacun because of a Juren surnamed Zhao.

The village chief only thought that the little girl was having fun: "Okay, if little Tang Lang is really admitted to Juren, our Zhaojia Village will be called Tangjia Village in the future. Do you have any objections?"

"Listen to the village chief!"

Looking at the crowd of villagers, Tang Shen smiled and said, "Don't send them off, everyone, Xiao Tang Lang is really gone."

On the country road, the donkey cart creaked forward.The figures of the people in the village gradually turned into small black dots, and soon, Zhaojia Village could no longer be seen.Don Juan was a little bit reluctant, his eyes were wet.

Sitting on the donkey cart, Tang Shen opened the package given by Master Zeng.I saw a set of brand new inkstones and a set of Four Books inside. "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "University", "Mencius", open the book, and there are densely packed notes on it.The book is not new, it seems that it has been turned over and read many times.

It took decades of reading to write so many insights and experiences in the book.

Tang Shen put away his things, sighed and said, "You can read."

Wu County is some distance away from Gusu Mansion, the four of them rested in the mountains for one night, and finally arrived at Gusu Mansion in the early morning of the next day.

There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"Gusu"

Two wild and unruly black characters were printed on the city gate, vicissitudes and shocks.

This is a majestic giant city.The city gate is three feet two feet high, and the blue brick city wall spreads to both sides, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance.Inside the tall door opening, carriages and pedestrians came and went, a busy scene.The guards on the city wall stood in armor, and the pedestrians on the city wall came and went in a hurry.Before entering the city, you can hear the bustling noise in the city.

The sound of hawking, the tinkling of horse bells.

Looking at the scene in the city through the city gate, Don Juan was dumbfounded.Traveling through half a year, this is the first time I really saw a big ancient city, even Tang Shen was stunned for a long time.

After a long time, Tang Juan tugged at his brother's sleeve: "Tang Shen, this is, this is where we will live in the future?"

Tang Shen came back to his senses.

"Yes, this is where we will live in the future."

Gusu Mansion, Tangjia Village, Wu County, Tang Shen.

Only 13 years old this year.
