Chapter 157 Journey (asking for monthly pass)

From Xiahe City to Wenxi County, the straight-line distance is about 1,500 miles.

On the other hand, it was only a few hundred miles away from his big willow tree.

Therefore, in fact, Fang Yue was planning to go through Daliushu Village and also take a look in the village.

Today, the Fang family all lives in Xiahe County.

That is to say, brother Fang Cheng goes back once every quarter. Father Fang often went back at first, but in the past year, he stopped running.

As he gets older, long distance journeys are too hard for this banker man and he can no longer bear the torment.

Walking on the familiar yet unfamiliar official road, Fang Yue was filled with emotions.

He still remembers the first time he walked this road, following Fang Hu and Ergou. At that time, it was his first time traveling far away. Everything was very new and unfamiliar to him.

But now, along the way, it is no longer what it was before. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Fang Yue is not willing to miss this beautiful scenery.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

In just one day, Fang Yue returned to Daliushu Village and inspected his family's house. The servants left to look after the house were very diligent and cleaned the house inside and out very well.

Fang Yue stayed in the house overnight and visited the tea garden early the next morning.

I was about to leave, but I happened to run into the elder of the Fang clan.

After chatting with the other party for a few more words, I learned that a newlywed couple in the village was having a wedding today.

Under the warm invitation, Fang Yue had to delay for another day.

It wasn't until the third day that Fang Yue finally hit the road.

From Daliushu Village to Wenxi County, the straight-line distance is only six to seven hundred miles, not very far.

However, Fang Yue did not go directly to Daliushu Village, but planned to go to Chenjia Village not far next door.

When Mrs. Chen learned that he was going to take this road to Wenxi County, although she didn't say anything at the time, Fang Yue knew that Mrs. Chen definitely wanted to visit her uncle's family.

Fang Yue did not deliberately pretend not to know, but took the initiative to accept the matter.

Although what my uncle's family did was not glorious, they have already learned a lesson. I heard that the situation in recent years is even worse than a few years ago.

Go and have a look, just take a look, things that happen along the way are nothing.

Of course, it was impossible to make Fang Yue change his attitude.

He cannot do such a thing as repaying evil with kindness.

The road was not going slowly, and the two villages were actually not far apart. However, within a quarter of an hour, Fang Yue had already seen the shadow of the village appearing on the distant land.

Compared with Daliushu Village, Chenjia Village is more similar to other surrounding villages.

In the past two years, Daliushu Village has been planting tea trees, and Fang Yue was able to sell the tea at a high price.

Therefore, in the past two years, the living standards of the people in Daliushu Village have improved visibly.

And several other neighboring villages, and even some villages further away, are proud to marry their daughters to Daliushu Village.

Some families even don't even ask for a betrothal gift in order to marry their daughter off, but will also provide a dowry.

After all, they had settled the score.

Marrying a daughter can save one person in the family from eating and enjoy the blessings.

Besides, if the son-in-law does not accept the bride price, the son-in-law will still suffer a huge loss to the in-law family.

Every year when I go back to the village to visit relatives, I never bring a lot of things with me. If you calculate it carefully, you will still make a lot of money.

How could you not be willing to do this?

"Young student, he looks very cool."

As soon as we reached the entrance of Chenjiacun, we met an old man sunbathing.

In fact, there are people like this in every family and village. They are too old to work anymore. They sit at the entrance and end of the village, chatting and sunbathing, and are responsible for 'seeing' if any strangers come to the village.

If something is wrong, it will alert the village, which is also a 'defense' method.

"Hello, father-in-law, I'm from Daliushu Village next door. I came to our village to find someone." Fang Yue replied with a smile.

"Oh, you're from Daliushu Village. Haha, you're Fang Fu, right? You're here to see the third girl of Chen Shitou's family, right?"

The old man spoke to himself vigorously and resolutely, without giving Fang Yue a chance to explain clearly.

Immediately, he shouted loudly: "Fang Fu from the Shitou family and the next village is here, come out quickly."

The old man was originally a little nervous when he was basking in the sun, but he didn't expect his voice to be very loud and full of energy.

This made Fang Yue very embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and quickly explained to the old man.

However, at this time, several people from Chenjia Village had already come over, looking towards this place as they walked. It was obviously the old man who called them.

"Oh my, this is Fang Fu. The Shitou family is so lucky. They are growing up so handsome."

"That's right, that's right, hey, that girl of mine is still too young, otherwise I would be shameless and get ahead of the Shitou family."

"Hehe, I think you are attracted to this young man."

Of course, some of the Chen family villagers who lived closer than Chen Shitou's family also heard the old man's roar.

After coming out, they all looked like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, looking up and down Fang Yue.

"Oh, there's a mistake, there's a mistake. He's not here to see Shitou's family, he's here to see Chen San's family. He's his nephew." After the explanation, the old man also knew that there was a mistake and hurriedly explained.

It's just okay that he didn't explain. After such an explanation, a few aunties who just stopped to watch immediately surrounded him.

They began to promote their daughter or the daughter of a relative to Fang Yue.

In their opinion, Fang Yue is from Daliushu Village and is so handsome. If he can succeed, it will be really great.

Enthusiastic, simply too enthusiastic.

Only then did Fang Yue realize that their Daliushu Village was so popular now.

I remember that in the past, Daliushu Village was too poor, and not many people from all over the country were willing to marry there.

After finally getting out from being surrounded by these enthusiastic aunts and uncles, Fang Yue quickly found his uncle's house.

"Give me a few more days, give me a few more days, and when the rice in the autumn harvest fields is sold, I will definitely pay you back the money you owe." Fang Yue heard his uncle Chen Kang's voice from far away.

Owe money again?

Fang Yue frowned slightly. The previous incident happened because his cheap cousin owed gambling debts and was forced to come to the door by debt collectors.

Of course, if his uncle came to talk to him nicely, Fang Yue would not be averse to helping him. Who would have known that the other party who bullied him and injured him actually planned to join with outsiders to seize his family's property.

This also chilled the relationship between the two families.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Chenjiacun this time, I would hear something like this again.

Hey, as expected, the word "bet" is the most harmful to people. In other words, the mentality of getting something for nothing and wanting to get rich overnight is even more harmful.

After listening for a while, it turned out to be quite different from what he thought.

His cousin still remained true to his nature and owed gambling debts again. Now his creditors came to him to press him for debts.

Seeing this, Fang Yue couldn't help but shake his head.

Some people, you just want to forgive them once, but if a piece of mud can't hold up the wall, what can you do.

Frustrated, he was about to leave.

At this time, he saw his cousin quietly showing his head from another direction.

"You treacherous son, you have really ruined our family! Look at what else there is in the house, only creditors who come to the door every day! I will beat you to death, you treasonous son." Chen Kang raised his arms high.

"Dad, please keep your voice down. If those people see me, they will break my legs. Besides, I only owe a lot of money. You can write to my aunt in a few days and let me know." Auntie, send me some money." Chen Liang said nonchalantly.

"You also know that she is your aunt. With the current situation of the two families, how can they give us any money?" Chen Kang said with a cold snort, but in the end he did not really beat his son.

"Hmph, you have broken bones and even tendons. If you beg for help, I won't believe that my aunt won't give it." Chen Liang chuckled.

Fang Yue did not continue to listen to what was said next.

If he continued to listen, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and would go up and beat someone up.

But after knowing the situation of Chen Kang, Chen Liang and his son, Fang Yue did not show up, but turned around and left.

Not long after, I saw a few debt collectors who had just left the village.

"This friend has invited us. Do you have something to do with our brothers?" The leader saw Fang Yue approaching.

After a brief inspection, he found that Fang Yue's clothes looked ordinary, but his aura was not that of an ordinary person, so he asked politely.

An ordinary farmer would not be so easy to talk to.

"It's nothing. I just heard that you were looking for that Chen Liang. I saw that he went home just now. You might be able to stop people if you go there now.

Oh, by the way, for people like this, it's best to break their legs, otherwise it will be really hard to find someone in the future. "

Fang Yue smiled slightly, and then he didn't care whether these people answered or not.

Finally, he told these people not to say that they had seen him before turning around and leaving.

"Your Excellency is loyal and will definitely not leak anything."

The leader clasped his fists and promised, and immediately led several brothers back to Chenjiacun.

This time, they moved quickly and blocked Chen Liang at Chen Kang's house.

Of course it was a good beating, and Chen Liang's legs were indeed broken.

When these people left the village, one of his men couldn't help but asked: "Boss, why did we just break that man's legs?"

There was no debt collection, just breaking the other person's legs.

"The guy just now is at least a martial artist above the level of bone forging. He said to break his legs, so we can only break the legs." This person has also practiced martial arts, and he is still a bone forging person, but he is older and has no trace of the disease. With the hope of making progress, he became the boss of a certain gambling house.

Although his kung fu is not good, his eyesight is not bad.

Although Fang Yue was not a show-off, he still sensed some clues, and of course he did not dare to neglect them.

It suddenly dawned on all the thugs under his command that no wonder the usually fiery boss was so talkative today.

~~~~~~

On this day, the sun gradually rises and the cold air dissipates.

Fang Yue also left the boundary of Xiahe County and entered the boundary of Wenxi County.

"This little brother is traveling alone. If you don't mind, come with us."

Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.

"Huh?" Fang Yue turned around and saw a thin old man about fifty years old, with dark skin, narrow eyes, driving a carriage from a distance.

The carriage was extremely wide, and there were already two people sitting on it, a man and a woman. They were both wearing coarse clothes and looked very shabby.

Fang Yue glanced at it, but he was keenly aware of some abnormalities.

The woman looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with fair skin, not like an ordinary girl from a farm family, and her eyes were a little excited and longing.

The other man looked much more nervous, looking behind him from time to time, as if he was afraid of being caught up.

Seeing this, Fang Yue's heart moved slightly.

"Thank you, old man." Fang Yue did not refuse and got on the carriage directly.

They were all going to Wenxi County, and the distance was not too far, so it was nice to take a carriage.

Besides, the old man driving the carriage and the couple sitting in the carriage were quite interesting.

After getting on the carriage, the couple did not talk to Fang Yue, but the old man driving the carriage was very warm and familiar.

They made small talk, especially when they heard that Fang Yue came from the neighboring Xiahe County, they were even happier.

The speed of the carriage was certainly not as fast as Fang Yue's own travel, and it was almost dark before they arrived at a small market town.

It was still more than 300 miles away from Wenxi County.

At night, they stayed in the only inn in the market town.

It was very simple, almost just a few wooden houses transformed.

Of course, everyone paid for their stay. After a simple meal of farm food, Fang Yue went back to his room to rest.

The night was getting late.

In the back kitchen of the inn.

"Today, these three are all fat sheep. The two men and women eloped. I saw it all. The woman had a gold bracelet on her body. The man kept holding the bag, which must have silver in it."

"There is another one. Don't look at the ordinary clothes, but he looks very good and is strong. It is obvious that his family is also good. Maybe he is a young master who has gone out to make money."

The lights were swaying, and two men with beards and fierce faces were listening to the words of the old man in front of them.

The more he listened, the fiercer the eyes became.

"Okay, you two should do things more cleanly tonight. Don't be like last time, when someone almost came to my door and asked me to kill a few more people. If you make money this time, I can find you a wife to marry."

The old man smoked a hookah, puffing, puffing, with a calm tone, but he was talking about bloody things.

Obviously, from the words of several people, it is known that this is not the first time they have done this.

"Okay, go, do it cleanly. Those people should be asleep, and the food is drugged."

In the dark night, under the dim light.

The old man's eyes are sinister.

The three people who were just discussing secretly did not realize that there was a person in the yard outside who saw all their conversations.

"It is indeed a black shop. I didn't expect it to dare to open in such a place." In the dark night, Fang Yue smiled slightly, then turned around and went back to the room.

I want to see how these people's black shop is run.

Sure enough, he soon heard the sound of footsteps that could be suppressed.

It sounded like the two big men.

Fang Yue lived in a room further inside, so the two of them went to the room where the man and woman lived first.

However, the next moment, there was a crackling sound of fighting in the next room.

After a short moment, it was quiet again.
