Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 169

(3)

The five people traveling together should never forget this summer time. During the two months, they got to know each other well, experienced many natural disasters and man-made disasters together, and felt the impermanence of the world.Although now they have to put aside the memories of the past and the emotions of heartache for a while, and go straight to seek a respite in a safe place.

Not long after the carriage passed by, they followed the instructions of the map and decided not to stop at any small market in the town, just to avoid people's eyes and ears.Of course, unless you come to the mountain that lies between the Central Plains and Beizhen.

Walking in the Cangzhou area, you can find a high place to stand and look far away, and you can vaguely see the towering natural barrier that stretches for thousands of miles.Its steep lines are drawn between the sky, and it overlooks the people who want to climb the mountain all the time.

"Mt. Qunma? It looks like we still have to walk for several days?" Several girls sat around in front of the shriveled and wrinkled dark yellow map and looked at it carefully.

Having gone through many adventures, they now have no fear at all, maintaining their original desire to explore everything in the world like young birds.

"Even if it is day and night, it will take at least three days to arrive." Zhao Kuo was sitting in front of the car and driving the horse. At this time, he was covered in dust in a coarse blue dress, and his mature appearance with frost on his temples when he was young made him feel It's more like an old servant serving the three girls behind.

"Then Young Master Zhao, can you walk a few steps faster? The road is bumpy, and you still don't let my family go to the market to be stubborn, isn't it a shame?" The Miao girl picked up the conversation, complaining: " Why did God let the slave family meet you, you are not allowed to do this, and you can’t do that, it’s better to go back to Miao Township.”

"Heh, playing hard to get? I won't keep you." Zhao Kuo didn't give in to the pretty woman's smugness. Instead, he said triumphantly, "If you really want to leave, you can jump out of the carriage right now. walk back."

After hearing this, Ajuan didn't really care.She took a deep breath, pursed her mouth, looked at the other person's back with disdain, and said angrily: "Hmph, I didn't know who was dying in the servant's house before, so anxious that tears fell out?"

"I was afraid that your mother and grandma would not let me go... Forget it, nothing, good men don't fight with women. When you come to Yuyi, you will only receive more punishment for you wild girl. Don't blame me for turning you down." Bring it there, and don't protect you..."

After several verbal battles, the quarrel between the two has just come to an end.And without their chatter and harmony in the car, the lively atmosphere was also lost, and a sense of desolation in early autumn struck again.

This journey to Mount Gunma started in an unpleasant way, and it seemed that the process would not be smooth sailing from the very beginning.

Those wild flowers and vegetables that only grow in July should bear fruit by now, and are close to withering.This is the case in the surrounding wasteland on a road that is only long enough to accommodate two horses and one cart.

I don't know whether the sky is according to people's wishes, or the will is in harmony with the sky.When they were in a low mood, the road was lined with ruins, and the road was so steep and uneven that it was almost maddening.

A few steps on the outskirts, there is a sinkhole, which is scattered on the barren land, which makes people unable to bear to look directly at it.If you can see a blooming wild flower at this time, even if it is very ordinary, it will be regarded as a precious thing that emerges from the mud without being stained.

Since they cannot enter the market, their basic necessities of life can only be settled in the countryside.Although it is not a problem not to change clothes and luggage for a few days, food and shelter cannot be casually divided.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo got the bow and arrow from Su Qing, so that they can hunt in the wild to barely maintain their rations. If they find a place where rivers and streams converge, they can go hunting fish in the water, and even circle a place with stones to serve as a bath tub. Also can be regarded as a kind of fun.Being able to wash dry and tight bodies is the only thing that can make girls happy.

For Zhao Kuo and Bai Feng, apart from drinking, it is also a joyful thing to see the three girls who should have been at a glorious age no longer disheartened.

At night, they will build a few simple fences with wood around the carriage, and then set up a pile of bonfires that will last all night.Then they were silent, raised their gray palms to take a sip of wine, and then took advantage of the strength of the wine to play a few flute tunes and sing a few songs, lamenting the fate like flowing water, and being sad and moved by the lost memories.

In this way for several days, and again and again, they lived a life almost isolated from the outside world for three days in the world far away from the world.

The shock and thought brought by walking from a barren wilderness to another fertile land cannot be described in words-it is like living a primitive life for a few days, and suddenly returning to the embrace of civilization inside.

Although it is quiet and peaceful to be isolated from the world and has absolute freedom, it is tantamount to a greater torture for young people who yearn for recognition and have great ambitions.

The five of them are not all such characters, but they all have a strong attachment to the world, and they are eager to change and fulfill certain things.Anyway, each has their own plans, and they are definitely outsiders who are indifferent to everything and ignore life and death.

Look, the mountain that could only be vaguely seen in outline three days ago is in front of you now, its peak is so high that it is so high that it is out of reach; listen, it is the noisy shouting, laughing, and fighting in the market. The sound, this sound is getting closer and closer, as if it is within reach.

These changes made the three girls who had been sitting in the car all day extremely excited, but after a while, they began to scramble to get over the door curtain and leaned out to take a closer look at the outside.

The driver Zhao Kuo couldn't help being restless when he saw Murong Yan, imitating the "childishness" of the other two girls, he desperately wanted to take the driver's seat, and obstructed him: "Miss Murong, can't you Follow the two of them. If you let others see your appearance easily, we will all suffer."

After hearing this, Murong Yan had no choice but to restrain her inner anxiety, and sat back beside Bai Feng, talking quietly.That young swordsman has always been strict and solemn towards others, but he has endless words in front of Murong Yan.

In this way, Zhao Xiaomei and Ajuan sat beside Zhao Kuo, looking at the passers-by with great interest. The most noticeable thing among them was naturally the "mountain of horses" lying in front of them.

"Brother, haven't we stopped in the town?" The younger sister asked, "Why do we have to come to such a lively place?"

"Yeah, what's your plan?" Ajuan on the side also said peacefully, "Last time you were going to stop in Cangzhou to find Su Qing, but it turned out..."

Before Ajuan finished speaking, Zhao Kuo interrupted: "It's different this time! If we want to cross mountains and ridges, we can't be carried by a carriage. There is a horse dealer in this town of horses, our Zhao family My old acquaintance, I am going to ask him for help."

"Oh! Brother, you mean Lou Yixian and Lou Yuanwai from the Lou family, right?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Unexpectedly, my younger sister still remembers him. You have only met him once or twice."

"That's natural!" Zhao Xiaomei replied confidently: "The daughter of Uncle Lou's family often bullied me in the early years, how can I forget it!"

"Hahaha, it's really small belly, it's all old things, don't mention it!" Zhao Kuo didn't forget to taunt, and immediately yelled "drive, drive", riding the horse to raise dust, and went straight to Lou's mansion and go.
