Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 178 Some Scenery

(1)

The long night will be over in a blink of an eye, and after the first rooster crows in the morning, the Lou family caravan, which started to prepare luggage and store water and food a few days ago, should gather in front of the Lou mansion.

The horse shook its fluffy tail and made some small rustling noises.Its long nose took deep breaths of air from time to time, and then made a louder nose blowing sound, as if it knew that it was about to go on an expedition and was gearing up like other servants.

As for the newly recruited long-term and short-term workers, some have done similar jobs before, some are refugees, and even thieves, but they have never killed anyone, and they dare not kill anyone.

They led the horses and luggage, looking forward to the gate of Lou Mansion.I saw several young masters and young ladies came out one after another, got into the horses and carts, and only Lou Jinghua was left reluctantly saying goodbye to his father.

Lou Yixian still doesn't seem to know it, maybe he still thinks that his daughter is really here to get married, and when the time comes, she will bring back a lot of gold and silver treasures, and maybe she will have a big fat grandson, and the grievances between him and the Zhao family will disappear in smoke. .

Faced with Lou Jinghua's strange behavior, Lou Yixian only thought that the other party was just recovering from an illness, so his body was a little weaker, so he shed tears and sadness so easily, so after a few casual greetings, he wanted to signal Lou Jinghua to get on the road quickly and leave early. Return early.

Who would have expected that this farewell would be the last duty of the daughter of the Lou family?
Lou Jinghua always had this kind of premonition in her heart: her father would leave her at any moment, just like her mother passed away back then.At that time, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or the affairs of the mansion, he can only take care of himself.Therefore, it seems that she is destined to be stronger and more courageous than she imagined. Only by doing her best and accepting all this with dignity can she be worthy of her once glorious family background.

After about ten days of travel and preparation, Zhao Kuo and the Lou family's father and daughter finally formed a decent team, which was enough to meet their travel requirements.

The scale of the caravan is small, only thirty people, and most of them are people from Qunma Town; fifteen horses, and most of them are ponies suitable for trekking mountains and rivers and transporting goods; there are also five longbows and a few arrows. Everyone carries a sword to guard against the dangers that may be encountered on the road.

Among them are four horses pulling two carriages each, one carrying Bai Feng, Murong Yan, Zhao Xiaomei and A Juan, and the other carriage was bought by Lou Jinghua herself.

Obviously, the daughter of the Lou family didn't want to condescend. After all, in the eyes of other uninformed people, she was still going here for the purpose of getting married and getting married. Lost prestige, lost face.

For this reason, Lou Jinghua deliberately kept a distance from everyone along the way. Apart from being as polite as before when facing Zhao Kuo, she would avoid contact with other people more often. Even if there was an urgent call, she would only invite herself. The personal maid I brought to pass on the message and run errands.

Caravans often encounter situations where it is difficult to move an inch. For example, the soil in certain areas is soft and has been washed by mud and rocks, making it difficult for carriages and horses to move.

Zhao Kuo, who is really walking in the front and leading the entire caravan, will stand up at this time to show his extraordinary leadership wisdom-he will direct people to help behind the carriage, and spread hay and planks on the ground to help the caravan speed up. Through this rough period.

Sometimes Zhao Kuo would take the lead and fight with his subordinates. This kind of scene seems incredible to many people.

Due to the peculiar topography of Mount Qunma, every time they walked through a rough road, they would encounter a vast grassland, where people often saw many horses of all kinds galloping and grazing on it.Then turn over the grassland in front of you, and you will see another higher hillside, which is another fertile land.

They passed several horse farms, among which the Lou family's horse farm should be the largest, but now it has been divided up by several other big horse dealers, and the remaining part can't raise many horses, so it is also used as a pasture by Lou Yixian rented out.Today's Lou family caravan is stepping on the land that once belonged to them.

Although not everyone in the caravan has any deep feelings for this land, as long as they have heard of the deeds, they all feel sorry and lamented, and feel sad for Miss Lou in the carriage.

Maybe it's because I'm not used to staying with those poor and worldly servants.When they are resting, they often get together to drink and gamble, playing games of dice and pairs.But the daughter of the Lou family hid away, drinking and watching tea by herself, feeling really resentful, so she borrowed a few books from her younger sister to read.

The one who surprised Lou Jinghua the most must be the younger sister of the Zhao family.In the previous impression, the little girl has always been timid and timid, and she can't even straighten her tongue when meeting strangers.But now, she is more playful than anyone else, even though she is still very shy.

I thought I could walk to Beizhen safely with such a noble posture, but what Lou's daughter never expected was that she couldn't even survive the first night.

She cried, wishing she could smother herself to death in the quilt.She couldn't stop crying when she thought of her father dying of a serious illness if things didn't work out.In the end, she still chose to find her only support now.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Lou Jinghua quietly touched the outside of the tent where Zhao Kuo lived, and immediately called him out.

The two old acquaintances have always gotten along very naturally, but they have never had such a relationship like tonight.

"Master Zhao, if I die now, no one will feel sorry..."

After all, Zhao Kuo frowned and stared at the other party, unable to say a word for a long time.

"If I betray my father and can't bring back good news, what should I do..." Lou Jinghua couldn't help but shed tears after speaking for a long time. I couldn't stop crying even more, crying like a child in pain from a fall.

"Hahaha." Zhao Kuo smiled suddenly, then went to help her to the side, found a higher viewing point to sit down, and said: "Don't worry, you will never turn your back on Uncle Lou. Also, if you If I die, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Then, Zhao Kuo pointed to the thin moon and stars above his head, counted today's days, and began to murmur the story of what happened to him in the past two months, which was the two months when he had the most adventures in his life , and all of this is due to the young swordsman named Baifeng and the mysterious Xianbei witch.

After that night, Zhao Kuo would find Lou Jinghua to talk with her almost every night, which greatly improved her extremely pessimistic mood.She also began to learn to let go of her body, to meet and discover those people who seem humble and humble, but are actually extremely interesting.
