Chapter 13 Thirteen

Let's say that Luo Kun drifted down the river in a coma, but was rescued by a fisherman, and it was three days after he woke up.Luo Kun said goodbye to the fisherman after thanking him for saving his life, and hurried back to the spinning top temple, only to find that the spinning top temple was in ruins.Luo Kun was stunned for a moment, thinking that Fang Guohuan had been burned to death by the fire, and burst into tears in grief.The crying alarmed a nearby farmer, that is, the old man who had talked with Fang Guohuan. Hearing the sound, he came to Luo Kun who was kneeling and crying, and patted his shoulder with his hand and said, "Brother Luo, you What are you crying for?" Luo Kun raised his head and recognized the old man, known as Tian Weng, and said sadly: "A kind brother of mine was burned and buried here." Tian Weng said: "But the one who is about the same age as you Are you young?" Luo Kun cried, "It was Big Brother Fang, I was the one who killed him." Knowing what happened, Tian Weng burst out laughing.When Luo Kun saw it, he got up and said angrily: "You old man, you are also a person who gloats, what's so ridiculous!" That Tian Weng said with a smile: "The old man laughed at you for crying." Luo Kun was startled when he heard that, surprised He said: "How do you say that?" Tian Weng said: "When the fire started in the spinning top that day, your brother came out of the temple unharmed. He looked around for you but couldn't find you. He waited here for two days. Yesterday morning , the old man saw him leaving crying, but he didn't know where he went." After hearing this, Luo Kun was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Fang Guohuan and Luo Kun were separated by a fire in the Gyro Temple, and Luo Kun was greatly disappointed because Fang Guohuan left first.After thanking Tian Weng farewell, Luo Kun pondered: "It's that scoundrel Asi who separated me from Big Brother Fang, and Wu Huhu, these two people are really hateful!" A few days later, one night, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of Wu Huhu and the rascal Asi, he set fire to their house.These two fires burned so fiercely that they even reached the houses of more than a dozen nearby households.Luo Kun knew that something was going wrong, and fearing that the government would investigate, he fled Wujiaji and went looking for Fang Guohuan.At first, Luo Kun heard from Fang Guohuan that he wanted to go to a place called Lianyun Mountain, so he asked around, but he didn't know how many people there were. Even though he got two places with the same name, he found nothing.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, Luo Kun has wandered in many places, and still has no news of Fang Guohuan, and he is especially unwilling.Although Luo Kun and Fang Guohuan had known each other for only one day, they had already gotten along very well emotionally. Luo Kun regarded Fang Guohuan as a relative, and secretly vowed that even if he traveled all over the world, he would find Fang Guohuan. On this day, Luo Kun was tired from walking, so he sat on the side of the road to enjoy the cool and rest.At this time, an old man riding a donkey came from afar.Seeing the old man shaking his head and chanting to himself, Luo Kun looked like a well-read man with a lot of experience, and said in his heart, "This old man is very old, so he must have seen a lot. Maybe he can know where Lianyun Mountain is." Thinking of this, Luo Kun got up to greet him and said: "The old man invited me, can I inquire about a place?" The old man stopped his donkey and said carelessly: "Where is it? Just say it, the old man is familiar with the world's geography and knows where to go. If you have a name, you will know its place." Luo Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, and fortunately he asked the right person, so he asked, "Does the old man know where Lianyun Mountain is?" "Lianyun Mountain?" The old man thought for a while After a while, he said, "I heard that there is a treasure mountain in Kanto. Its peak is covered with a sea of ​​clouds and covered with snow. It can be seen in all seasons, and it seems to be connected to the clouds. Could it be this mountain you are asking?" They are connected and similar in shape, so he said happily: "This is the mountain. May I ask the old man, how do you go?" The old man said with some pride: "What the old man said is never wrong. Go to Shanhai Pass, go out of the Great Wall, and go outside the pass. There is no one in the Guandong who doesn't know this mountain. Just ask there. However, the Jurchens in the Guandong are fierce and barbaric, so you have to be careful when you go here." Luo Kun said happily: " Thank you for your kindness in guiding me, old man." I saluted deeply and left.

Luo Kun traveled all the way, and in early autumn, he arrived at a big town called Guping Town in Shanhaiguan.This Guping Town is one of the important northern towns in the diplomatic circles of Guan Nei Guan. Especially in this season, merchants from inside and outside the Guan gathered here, and the town became lively all at once. Yes, each other has their own thoughts. Luo Kun found a horse shop, and said in his heart: "I need to rest here, and I can leave the customs tomorrow." At this time, the horse shop was full of people, and it was very lively. More than ten waiters served wine and food, and served tea with water. , greeted the full guests, was so busy that there was no time for leisure.Luo Kun saw an opportunity, and stepped forward to help the guys. One of the guys smiled gratefully at him.This is Luo Kun's method of begging for food and drink along the way. He thinks that helping others to do some work and then asking for food is much better than just begging for food. This method often works.Although sometimes they are ignored, stared at, or even driven away, but most of the time they are treated kindly.After Luo Kun was helping the guys, the manager of the horse shop happened to come out and saw him. He walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, work hard, you will be full soon." Obviously, seeing that Luo Kun is a beggar and wandering beggars, and seeing that he will come to work, he also likes himself.Luo Kun smiled gratefully at the shopkeeper.Seeing Luo Kun's cleverness and vigor, the shopkeeper nodded in satisfaction.

This busy work lasted until midnight, when the number of guests gradually decreased, and the clerks breathed a sigh of relief, and several clerks invited Luo Kun to have dinner together.A waiter said: "Little brother came in time and helped us a lot." Another waiter said: "Little brother, if you have nowhere to go after dinner, you can spend the night in the woodshed in the backyard." Luo Kun Hearing this, I was in the middle of my heart, and thanked myself in a hurry.At this time, the shopkeeper of the horse shop came over with a smile. When the guys saw him, they all got up and greeted him.The shopkeeper waved his hand, motioned for the guys to sit down, then walked up to Luo Kun and said, "Little brother, I want to eat, I don't know where you are going tomorrow?" Luo Kun hurriedly replied, "Go back to the shopkeeper, little I'm going to the Kanto." "Oh!" The shopkeeper nodded and said, "So that's the case." Then he said: "The shopkeeper usually doesn't care about you vagrants, but I see you are smarter, so let me introduce you. How about a place to eat?" Luo Kun shook his head and said, "Thank you shopkeeper for being nice, I just want to go to Kanto, I don't want to stay here." The shopkeeper Wen Zhi said with a smile: "It's not enough to find you a place to eat Fuck, your family is penniless, where is it different? Well, to tell you the truth, there is an old Cantonese business man living upstairs in the backyard. Suit. Because this guest rests in our store every year, and he trusts me, so he entrusted this matter. Since you also want to leave the customs, you might as well follow that old guest from Guangdong and walk along the way, just obeying orders. Not only can you have three meals a day, but when you come back, there will be a few taels of silver for you. Where can you find such a good thing? If you agree, then let me go to see the guest. If you don’t agree, I will do another Find someone else." After hearing this, Luo Kun thought to himself, "That's fine, I don't know how deep the Kanto is, and I'll go with him, and I'll have to take care of me on the way, so I'll make plans at that time." Thinking of this, Luo Kun Then he went up to thank him and said: "In this case, please let the shopkeeper fulfill the villain's errand." The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard that, so he pulled Luo Kun to the backyard, and told Luo Kun: "If the guest asks, you Just say it's a child from someone in this town." Luo Kun agreed.
