After spending more than ten days in Chai Jinzhuang, Chao Yong and Wu Song were inseparable, fighting each other every day. Under the guidance of Wu Song, a good teacher, Chao Yong's boxing and kicking skills improved rapidly.
The friendship between the two is also getting deeper and deeper day by day. The brotherly relationship with Chao Yong reminds Wu Song of his brother Wu Dalang.
After enduring it for a few days, Wu Song no longer cared about being involved in a lawsuit and planned to return home.
Chao Yong also knew that he had not killed anyone. After a while, he would get the news and prepare to return home. However, he got malaria, which delayed his return and met Song Jiang who had also fled.
Although Chao Yong didn¡¯t know if Song Jiang would kill anyone, he was afraid that if Song Jiang and Wu Song got to know each other, given Song Jiang¡¯s personality, Wu Song would still be unable to escape Song Jiang¡¯s control.
Therefore, I did not persuade him very much. Counting the days, the birthday event was about to happen, so the two of them came to say goodbye to Chai Jin.
Chai Jin heard that the two were about to leave, so he held Chao Yong's hand and said, "Brother Wu Song is going back to his hometown to visit his brother, and Chai Jin dare not delay. Brother Yong has nothing to do, so why not let Chai Jin entertain him for a few more days."
??Through these days of observation, Chao Yong discovered that Chai Jin was not a careerist. He just liked boxing and stick kung fu and made friends with heroes after living a carefree life. Otherwise, he would not treat heroes like Wu Song indifferently because of trivial matters.
And because he is a member of the former royal family, it is impossible to go to the frontier to perform meritorious service. Therefore, his martial arts training is just to strengthen his body and not to do any hard work. His martial arts skills can be said to be sparse, but it does not hinder his hobbies.
Since Chao Yong would not become an enemy in the future, Chao Yong naturally wanted to be friends with Chai Jin, who had a wide range of contacts.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "When I left home, I promised my mother to return home in two months. Counting the days, I have been wandering away for more than two months. Now it is time to return home as soon as possible to avoid mother's worries. I will definitely be free someday. Come on again."
The ancients valued filial piety first. When Chai Jin saw the two of them talking like this, he had no choice but to say, "Since you two are going back to your hometown to fulfill your filial piety, Chai Jin doesn't dare to delay. So you two will stay for one more day and let Chai Jin be your filial piety." Put it into practice, Chai Jin will personally send you two out of Cangzhou tomorrow."
Seeing Chai Jin's hospitality, the two had no choice but to stay for one more day.
Early the next morning, Chai Jin brought several village stewards to see them off.
When the group came out of Zhuangzi, Chao San had already brought two horses to wait. Chai Jin looked at Chao Yong and also gave Wu Song a horse.
The three of them said goodbye. Chai Jin took the two packages and said, "You two have a long way to go back home. Chai Jin asked someone to pack some changes of clothes and travel expenses. Don't refuse."
These days, Chao Yong has also learned about Chai Jin's style. As long as a hero passes by, he will definitely give him money before leaving.
Although Chao Yong still had some money on him, if he refused, he might be underestimating Chai Jin's financial burden. He took the package, cupped his hands and said, "We will all bear in mind the kindness of the high official Chai. The high official will be free in the future. Definitely come to Dongxi Village, Chao Yong will serve you a drink.¡±
Chai Jin smiled and said: "Chao Tianwang is famous. Chai Jin has admired him for a long time. Chai Jin will definitely pay him a visit when he has time. Let's hit the road before the sun comes out. Chai Jin will see you two out of Cangzhou."
Chao Yong said hurriedly: "I have sent you off for a thousand miles, but I have to say goodbye at the end. The high officials will stay here. I will come back to bother you when I have free time in the future."
Chai Jin, however, had already taken the reins from the steward's hand, climbed onto his horse, and said with a smile, "Chai Jin's left and right are fine, so I'll see you two off."
Seeing this, Chao Yong had no choice but to mount his horse.
The group of people walked for more than ten miles, Chao Yong said goodbye again and again, and then Chai Jin rode back home.
Watching Chai Jin walk away, Chao Yong smiled and said: "There are no false scholars under the great reputation. Official Chai is really hospitable."
Wu Song said: "He is from the royal family of the former dynasty, and he is very grand. After all, he is not from the same family as us. When I came here before, he treated me very kindly, but later he listened to the dealers' gossip, so he became distant and slow to treat me. If it were you and me. How can we be provoked if we are brothers?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "He is a member of the royal family. It is rare for him to be able to make friends with people like us, so we should not be too demanding. What are your plans for returning home this time?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Wu Song's eyes, and he said: "Last year I killed someone and ran away, so I couldn't make a living. Now I just miss my brother and am afraid that he will be bullied. If he is doing well, I will quietly check on my brother and then go to Dongxi Village to find you. , if someone bullies him, he will no longer be able to kill him, and he will have no choice but to flee. "
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Yuncheng County is next to Dongping Prefecture. I have never seen my brother's sea arrest official document. I think my brother did not kill anyone at the beginning, otherwise there must be a sea arrest official document to Yuncheng County. If he only injured someone, he said with a smile. , Brother Wu has probably spent money to help his brother understand the lawsuit, but I don¡¯t know what kind of life he is going to do after he returns home."
Wu Song shook his head and said: "I don't have much plan. If I don't kill anyone, with Wu Song's hands and feet, I don't have to worry about starving to death."
A few months in advance, Chao Yong alsoHe knows whether Wu Song will encounter a tiger again in Jingyanggang. If he can't kill the tiger, he won't be able to do Dutou, and many things in the future may not happen again.
"If my brother can't find any good way to make a living, just bring Brother Wu to Dongxi Village to find Chao Yong. Then my brother and I will work together to find a way out."
"Definitely, I visited my brother. If nothing happens, Wu Er will definitely go to Dongxi Village to find his brother."
Chao Yong and Wu Song spent the night on a journey, and encountered several public inquiries along the way. As expected, no one arrested him, and Wu Song felt relieved.
The sun was scorching in the sky, and even though there were horses walking for me, I was still sweating profusely after walking for a long time.
Seeing the city he had passed through when he came, Chao Yong said happily: "Ahead is the city of Qizhou. We might as well go to the city to have lunch, avoid the sun, and cool down before we hit the road. There are fine wines from Zizhou in the city. Pour the well to quench your thirst."
Zizhou overturns the well, the water in the well is basically level with the wellhead, the water in the well is clear, and the well body slopes into the ground. It is said that Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of this dynasty, led his troops to the north and south. When he passed through Gaoqing, it was hot and droughty. The soldiers were exhausted, had dry mouth and were in a restless mood. He happened to see a well on the road. The water in the well was clear, cool and pleasant, but it was difficult to draw from the well. He thought silently in his heart: "The water in the well knows my heart, and the well wishes me success. Please help me." Unexpectedly, the well was really tilting slowly. The well water slowly flowed out, and the army drank freely, but the water level did not drop. After the urgent need was solved, the soldiers continued to march and won several great victories in succession, and finally became a generation of hegemony. After Taizu ascended the throne, he felt grateful for the well's help and sealed it with his own handwriting as the "Take Down Well".
After that, some businessmen took water from the pullover well to make wine. The resulting wine was sweet and elegant, and gradually became a famous wine in Jingdong.
After traveling all morning, Wu Song was also very thirsty. I have heard about the famous name of Zizhou Pulling Down the Well for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity and money to taste it. Hearing this, he swallowed his saliva and said: "Then go quickly. Let's wait for the sun to set before we hit the road."
At that moment, the three of them galloped towards Qizhou City.
