Wuxi was an ancient city in China. Xiaoyao had been to Wuxi before, of course, during that era. Carefree remembered that during the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wuxi was only a small county with a small population. Carefree was no stranger to Wuxi. However, due to the difference in times, the path that Carefree and Daniu were taking now was no longer the same as before.

Although Carefree was extremely blind, he had a photographic memory. He had once seen through the map of China very well. Along the way, he even called out the names of the places. However, he did not know that the names of the places in that era were different from the names of the places in this era.

Then let's follow the map in Carefree's memory.

Wuxi City was located in the south of Jiangsu Province. It was built beside Lake Tai and was relatively close to Suzhou City.

Crouching Bull Mountain was actually near Hua Zhuang Town. However, Hua Zhuang Town did not exist in Carefree's era. At that time, Hua Zhuang Town was just a vast and barren plain.

Da Niu told Carefree the route they were taking, so Carefree deduced that they should start from Huazhuang Town, then go to Xishan District, and then enter Wuxi.

On this day, the sun was hanging high, but it was still so poisonous. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to make people suffer.

Carefree and Da Niu were tired from walking, so they took shelter under a big banyan tree.

"Why is there not even a trace of wind in this damn weather!”

Along the way, Carefree had heard countless complaints from the bulls. Da Niu obviously hadn't received strict education, and his words were too unsightly. However, Carefree didn't care. Tsk, what elegance? At the same time, Carefree also felt that swearing could sometimes relieve his depression and nervousness.

Listen, Da Niu is here again.

"F * cking ghosts and monsters. I'm dying of thirst. Why can't I get a drop of water? Could it be that the water was really sucked dry by a thirsty ghost?”

For two days, Carefree and Da Niu didn't drink a single drop of water. Moreover, the food they brought was dry rations. They couldn't swallow it without water. Carefree had no choice but to cut the sap and nibble on the tender leaves. Carefree's brain was like an encyclopedia. He knew some simple medical skills and could also identify some common trees. He knew which trees were poisonous and which were not. He knew which ones were nutritious and which ones were bitter.

The one who enjoyed the most was Da Niu. He was a boor, but not a farmer. He was a layman in the field of plant knowledge. He had no idea what plants could be eaten and what plants could not be eaten. He had followed Carefree and eaten countless good things. It turned out that he didn't dare to eat it before, but under Xiaoyao's demonstration, he ate it with relish.

Moreover, Da Niu's vulgarities were not only used to scold people, but also to praise others.

"Your great-grandfather's sinister virtue is a blessing for me and you. Damn it, this thing is really not for show. It's really f * cking delicious, oh, delicious!”

Every time Carefree heard Da Niu praise him like this, he couldn't help but smile.

After two days of interaction with Da Niu, Defiant had gained some valuable information. Although Da Niu lived in the small county town of Wuxi, he was a well-known blacksmith there, so he could always find out a lot of gossip and major events that concerned the lives of the world from his customers.

"Uncle Bull, do you know Li Shi Min?”

"Li Shi Min? Where is he from?"

"Uncle, don't you know Li Yuan's second son, Li Shi Min?”

"I've heard a lot about Li Yuan, but I don't think he has four sons. He only has three sons and a daughter. The boys are called Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanba, and the girl is called Li Xiurou.”Da Niu shook his head, feeling a little lost.

Perhaps Li Shiming was more low-key. After all, he was not an ordinary person. Perhaps he was secretly helping Li Yuan seize the world. Carefree thought this way and his heart calmed down. He looked up at the sky and said indifferently,""When you count heroes, you still have to look at today.”

"F * ck, why isn't there even a cloud in this damn weather? Are you trying to kill me?”

Da Niu complained as he walked.

Carefree was used to it. Sometimes, he really wanted to talk to Da Niu, but he was still reserved. It was better to speak less of such vulgarities.

Perhaps it was a habit that Carefree had developed for a long time. He always looked as he walked, and from time to time, he remembered everything that passed by him in detail. The biggest characteristic of his walking was that he was used to looking around and touching things. Sometimes, he really found treasures.

"Wow!"

Carefree suddenly cried out from the grass path.

"What happened?" Da Niu hurriedly ran over.

"Human, ginseng!" Carefree swallowed his saliva and stared at a strangely shaped grass in the grass. Surrounding the grass was a piece of dry land. It was like a bald middle-aged man, more like a small Mediterranean Sea. There were no other plants growing within three feet of the grass. It was like the king of plants. Other plants were not allowed to approach it and could only admire its might from afar.

"Brother, are you dizzy from the heat? Even though I, Da Niu, am not as knowledgeable as you, I still understand this point.”

"No, it's ginseng. I'm sure of it!"

As he spoke, Carefree started to dig out the "ginseng" he mentioned.

Carefree pushed aside the soil and carefully dug.

"Brother, why are you so naive? If this was really ginseng, it would have been dug up by the pedestrians on the road. You see, many of them were also digging for herbs.”Da Niu pointed at a scholar carrying a basket of herbs.

This was a handsome scholar. His face was like jade, his handsome eyes and eyebrows were trimmed, and he looked like he was flying. His entire body emitted an indescribable carefree aura.

When the scholar saw Da Niu pointing at him, he thought Da Niu was calling him, so he stuck his head out and asked respectfully,""May I ask this big brother, why are you calling this little brother?”

"Wow, this is the first time I've heard someone call me big brother.”Da Niu smiled and patted the scholar's shoulder. Then, he asked,""Brother, are you a herb picker?”

"No, but I know a thing or two about herbs. I can recognize the name and effect of ordinary plants.”

"That's great. Can you help me see if this thing is ginseng?”

Da Niu pointed at a strange-looking tree root in Carefree's hand.

The scholar took a closer look and pondered with his chin in his hand. Then, he shook his head.

"I'm not sure. I really can't tell what it is. I've been studying herbs for many years, but this is the first time I've seen such a plant.”Then, he took out a bag from his pocket and said to Carefree,""Brother, this little brother wants to buy this plant from you.”

"I'm sorry, I'm not short of money, so I won't sell it.”

Seeing Carefree's determined expression, the scholar knew that he had no fate with this plant. However, he was a person who liked to make friends. He saw that Xiaoyao was handsome and dignified, so he wanted to make friends with him.

"I am Wei Zheng, may I know your name?”

"What is it? What's your name?" When Carefree heard the name Wei Zheng, his reaction was surprisingly great. He saw Wei Zheng's shocked expression and quickly said in embarrassment,"Forgive my rudeness, Brother Wei. Because I have a friend called Wei Zheng, but we have been separated for many years. If he was still alive, he would be as handsome as Brother Wei this year.”

A talented person talks about a talented person, and a beautiful person talks about a beautiful person. Rather than being praised as a talent or beauty by a bunch of vulgar people, it was better to be praised as precious by another talent or beauty.

Wei Zheng heard Xiaoyao's praise and quickly lowered his head shyly to touch the back of his head. He looked silly.

"Then what is your name?"

"Oh, his name is Carefree. My surname is Xiaoyao, and my name is Xiaoyao." Carefree had been telling everyone he met along the way, but Da Niu had learned from him.

"Ah, you really live up to your name. Self-satisfaction, free from the world, wandering in the world. Good name, good name!"

"Brother Wei, you flatter me." Carefree was humble as he pondered over Wei Zheng's words.

"Oh, right. I wonder what Brother Xiaoyao thinks this is?”

"Ginseng." Carefree said with certainty. At the same time, he seemed to be very afraid that others would snatch the so-called ginseng from him.

"However, ginseng is born in the shade and grows in the moist environment. But this tree seemed to be the complete opposite.”Wei Zheng asked,

"Right, Brother Wei is right. All things were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. One yin and one yang existed in heaven and earth. In fact, yin and yang did not exist at two extremes. It was like the moon, which reflected the sun's light to illuminate the path of pedestrians at night. In other words, Yin and Yang were actually interlinked. If there was Yang, there would be Yin, and if there was Yin, there would also be Yang. Generally speaking, ginsengs liked yin, but it was not necessarily impossible for them to like yang. They were like brothers in a family. The elder brother liked martial arts, while the younger brother liked literature. Although literature and martial arts seemed different, weren't they both doing things for the country and the people?”

"Good! Wonderful! Little brother's words hit the nail on the head.”

At this moment, a group of people stopped beside Carefree. A man riding a horse clapped his hands and praised loudly.

The man had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a hooked nose, and a cold body. He was extraordinary. He had the awe-inspiring aura of a great general and the boldness of a hero. Unfortunately, there was a lack of righteousness between his brows, which made Carefree feel that this person was not a good person.

"Greetings, Lord Yuwen!"

Da Niu suddenly knelt down to the man and pulled Carefree down. He whispered to Carefree,""Brother, hurry up and kneel before Lord Yuwen!”

Carefree didn't know where he came from, but seeing his posture, he must be a high official in the court, so he was very unwilling to kneel down to that Lord Yuwen.

"This commoner wishes to see Lord Yuwen." Carefree's tone was calm, but he was secretly resentful. Hmph, I hate this kind of official the most.

However, what surprised Carefree was that Wei Zheng didn't kneel. A man walked out from beside Yuwen something and shouted at Wei Zheng,""How dare you not kneel when you see the current Prime Minister!”

"Humph! I, Wei Zheng, am a man of seven feet tall. I kneel to the heavens, my parents, the main sect, and the emperor, but I don't kneel to anyone.”Wei Zheng's face was full of righteousness, and Carefree could not help but exclaim in his heart.
