Chapter 411 Zhangzhou Prefecture, he, Sun Shan, finally came back
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone gathered together and followed the escort team.
Seeing that Sun Shan insisted on walking by himself, Gui Ge'er put his luggage in a basket so that Sun Shan could travel light.
As he walked, Sun Shan discovered that there were many strong men around him, including Qian Yingyang.
Curiously asked: "Ying Yang, who is the uncle next to you?
"When did such a person pop up? How come he didn't know about it?"
Qian Yingyang had nothing in his hands, but a flat package on his shoulder. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, took a breath and said, "I just invited someone here. If I can't climb the mountain later, I'll let the uncle carry me. This road is difficult to walk on. I can't walk on my legs."
Sun Shan's eyes widened. When did Qian Yingyang hire someone? How come he didn't know?
Qian Wu, the book boy beside Qian Yingyang, said, "Sun Xiucai, we asked Gui Ge'er, and he said that we don't need to ask anyone, he can carry you."
Gui Ge'er was a well-known strong student in the academy. When Gui Ge'er said this, Qian Yingyang and Qian Wu thought that Sun Shan could not walk and arranged for Gui Ge'er to carry him.
After Sun Shan heard this, he glanced at Gui Ge'er, who was carrying the basket with his head huddled.
Gui Ge'er thought to himself: There is no need to waste money to hire someone, he can take care of Shan Ge. But Shan Ge just refused to sit in the basket, which made him very distressed.
Sun Shan looked at several fellow villagers again and saw that there were many strong men around them. It seemed that they were hired to carry people.
Just like climbing a mountain, when you can’t walk anymore but want to go up the mountain to see the beautiful scenery, you ask someone to carry you up the mountain in a sedan chair.
For porters, whether carrying goods or carrying people, they will do it as long as it can support their families.
Sun Shan and his group continued walking along the ancient road. As they walked, many students could not bear it anymore and needed to be carried by porters.
Qian Yingyang hung on the porter and chatted with Sun Shan.
He was relaxed, but Sun Shan was so tired that he was panting like a cow. He had no mood or energy to pay attention to him.
But Qian Yingyang was a talkative person, and even if Sun Shan ignored him, he would still chat with him.
From time to time he lamented the difficulty of riding Qitianling, and from time to time he asked Sun Shan to walk faster so that he would not fall behind.
From time to time, he told Sun Shan that he was not strong enough and walked crookedly, and asked him to watch his step so as not to miss a step and fall off the cliff.
Sun Shan really wanted to cover Qian Yingyang's mouth with tape.
Who is weak now? It is obvious that he has only walked a few steps, but he has been carried by the porter. Instead, they think that Sun Shan, who is doing the work himself, is weak.
Sun Shan wanted to poison and mute Qian Yingyang.
Gui Ge'er carried the luggage and followed Sun Shan, muttering, "Brother Shan, are you tired? Do you want to sit in the basket? Brother Shan, don't worry, I can carry it. I'm very strong."
Gui Ge'er was very much like Tang Monk, muttering incessantly, which made Sun Shan feel like Sun Wukong, with a buzzing headache.
At this moment, Sun Shan also wanted to poison Gui Ge'er and make him mute so that he could stay with Qian Yingyang.
At night, while resting in the inn, Sun Shan's legs kept shaking.
Fortunately, I didn't prepare anything when I went home this time, except for the medicine. I wiped it with medicinal wine, hoping it would relieve the fatigue of the day.
Wake up early the next morning and continue on your journey.
Many of the students who were walking were listless. Some of them who originally did not want to find a porter could not bear it anymore and finally found a porter to carry them.
As for Sun Shan, he continued to walk as he pleased, as he didn't believe that he would not be able to get out of Qitianling.
We met all kinds of vendors along the way.
It’s different if you follow the big vendors. Although the road is still difficult to walk on, the accommodation and meals along the way are much better.
The food is five-star, the accommodation is five-star, and even the service is five-star.
Along the way, Chairman Liu Zhiyan and the host Zhong Weifang, who were in charge, cared about everyone and tried to solve any problems as soon as possible.
Sun Shan felt that the two were the kind of people who would do things to the extreme.
Or just don’t do it. Since you have organized a team, you must be responsible to the end.
But being able to do this responsibly ultimately comes down to strength and money.
Sun Shan looked at Zhong Weifang and Liu Zhiyan silently, and became more determined to study hard and make progress every day.
This way he will be able to make friends with more powerful people.
Although it is very materialistic to think this way, people have to be realistic. You help me, I help you, it's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone.
When will the journey from north to south end? Time flies like an arrow.
No matter how difficult the road is, there will be a day when you can finish it.
We crossed the Hunan-Guangdong Ancient Road and arrived in Yizhang, finally completing the most difficult section of the road.
Sun Shan sat slumped in the inn, drinking water desperately to relieve his physical fatigue.
Gui Ge'er said distressedly: "Brother Shan, I told you to sit in the basket but you refused. You were trying to show off. Now you are exhausted. You are suffering for trying to save face."
Gui Ge'er glanced at Sun Shan secretly, and found that Sun Shan was staring at him, so he immediately dodged. After waiting for a while, he glanced at Sun Shan secretly again, and found that Sun Shan was still staring at him, so he dodged again.
Sun Shan waved his hand and asked Gui Ge'er to go out. He needed to have a good rest. He really didn't have the energy to talk to the lively Gui Ge'er.
Another lively Qian Yingyang came in and laughed: "Hey, Ashan, are you exhausted? It must be uncomfortable to walk."
After saying this, he immediately dodged nimbly, fearing that Sun Shan would jump up and hit him.
After dinner, Liu Zhiyan and Zhong Weifang came to see Sun Shan and told him to have a good rest so that he wouldn't have to walk tomorrow.
Liu Zhiyan said admiringly: "Brother Sun, I didn't expect you to stick to it to the end. I admire you."
Zhong Weifang said admiringly: "Brother Sun's perseverance is extraordinary. I admire him."
Liu Zhiyan and Zhong Weifang also hired porters, so Sun Shan was the only one who walked the whole way.
The two men couldn't help but look at Sun Shan differently. They didn't expect that the skinny and weak Sun Shan had such good physical strength.
Sun Shan's face turned red, and he waved his hands and said, "I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could finish the walk. Now I have really finished it, haha."
But I was thinking in my heart: Gui Ge'er has to carry the luggage, so I definitely can't let him carry it.
Sun Shan felt the pain as he had to pay 5 taels of silver to hire a porter to carry him along the way.
It is better to finish the journey by yourself. Saving 5 taels is equivalent to earning 5 taels.
Sun Shan is a bit stingy. He doesn't want to spend money on things that he can do. He has a hard life and would feel uncomfortable if he enjoyed himself too much.
Liu Zhiyanhe, Zhong Weifang chatted with Sun Shan for a few words and then left.
Sun Shan rolled his eyes and asked Gui Ge'er to buy some Yizhang specialties nearby and bring them back to Zhangzhou Prefecture.
The next section of the journey can be reached by taking a boat under the Yuxi Bridge, so there is no need to climb the mountain anymore.
Gui Ge'er obeyed the order and followed Qian Yingyang to buy local specialties. No matter what, it would be unacceptable not to bring back some souvenirs.
What's more, the things are placed on the boat and no one needs to carry them.
The next morning, everyone gathered quickly and boarded the ship, eager to leave Huguang Province and return to the familiar Guangnan Province.
I don’t know how long it took before the boat stopped at the pier of Pingshi Old Street in Lechang.
Sun Shan stumbled up to the dock, stepping on the stone slabs, feeling extremely excited.
Zhangzhou Prefecture, he, Sun Shan, finally came back.
