After the exile, the Goddess of War became a group favorite

Chapter 115

Before walking the entire city, the sky gradually darkened.

The loess dissipates heat very strongly, and at night the temperature is negative. When the night wind blows, it's cool, and goose bumps arise.

Lu Anran glanced at the pocket watch he had just taken out, it was only 06:30, and he was already groggy this day.

"Let's stop here today." She put away her watch, took out some food from the pannier on the horse's back, and handed it to the old man: "Old man, thank you for your hard work, take these back.

Don't refuse yet." Seeing him waving his hand and wanting to refuse, Lu Anran smiled and said, "This is also your reward for showing us about Licheng, and tomorrow you have to continue to show us the rest. "

"There are more tomorrow?" Hearing what she said, the old man looked at the steamed bun she handed over again, couldn't help swallowing, and finally took it happily:
"Okay, Lord City Master, my name is Liu Baoguo, you can just call me Dayong. It's getting late now, why don't you go to my house to rest?"

Lu Anran shook his head: "No need, I have to trouble you when we go, just take us to the City Lord's Mansion."

Liu Baoguo was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there. It's the City Lord's Mansion... It's been in disrepair for a long time, and I'm afraid it's a little unsatisfactory."

"It's okay, we two brothers and sisters have slept in the open before." Lu Ziqi said with a light smile, Lu Anran also nodded slightly, and Liu Baoguo reluctantly took the two of them there.

After arriving at the location, the two finally understood why the old man was so embarrassed.

Because the so-called city lord's mansion is only left with a bare loess wall, even the roof is gone, probably because the wall is useless, if it is useful, it must have been demolished long ago.

"My lord, look at this..." Liu Baoguo said cautiously.

Lu Anran looked at him sideways, with a gentle smile still on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, the old man will go back first, come here tomorrow and show us the rest of Licheng."

"That's fine, I'll come to see you tomorrow." Liu Baoguo smiled, and left contentedly with the buns.

Lu Ziqi carefully looked at the City Lord's Mansion for a while, and finally sighed softly: "This is worse than a ruined temple."

"Let's do it, it's just a day or two." Lu Anran said, leading the horse and walking in. It is better to have a wall to block the wind than no wall. Of course, if he is not around, it will be more convenient for her.

Lu Ziqi consciously found firewood and started to start a fire, while Lu Anran put his small basket next to him, which contained apples, roast duck, cabbage, rice, sour cowpea with minced meat and other delicious food.

She also reached in and took out two notebooks and two pens, then picked up the notes that Lu Ziqi had taken during the day, walked to the side and began to write and draw.

After Lu Ziqi lit the fire, he saw that she didn't know what she was writing, and he had never seen the two things in her hand.

Walking over to take a look, I was startled in my heart, opened my mouth to say something, but saw that she was thinking seriously, then swallowed it back, just looked enviously at the two things in her hand.

I can actually write, and it's so clear, I don't know how many times better than seal knife carving, I really want it!
This thought flashed in his mind, and there was a pen and paper in front of him. Lu Ziqi was stunned: "This is..."

"It's for you." Lu Anran said without raising her head: "Let's sort out the things I experienced during the day.

The buildings you see, the mountains and lakes, the humanities, the terrain, the distance between streets, etc., including your opinion.

Make suggestions after sorting it out, and I want to see how you want to manage this place. "

"This..." Lu Ziqi was stunned, and then felt a burst of excitement in his heart. His former classmates and friends are still stuck on the bamboo slips, and he...

His hand tightened suddenly, and the notebook in his hand couldn't help but wrinkled a little, his eyes gradually became firmer, he was already ahead of too many people, he had to seize this opportunity!
Sand~
Seeing him sitting down with a pen and paper, Lu Anran secretly nodded, as long as he is willing to learn and work hard, she doesn't mind handing over Licheng's internal affairs to him.

Of course, you can't be careless in combining modern knowledge. Only by learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other and combining with the actual situation can the city be built better.

but……

"Let's make something to eat first." Lu Anran stuffed the pen and paper into his small bag, then took out the food from the back basket and started to heat it up. He turned his head and glanced at Lu Ziqi, who was still immersed in his own thoughts. middle.

She didn't intend to bother him, she just asked him to eat the cooked food.

On the other side, Liu Baoguo hid the bun in his arms and returned to his earthen house.

The room was dark, except for a small amount of furniture, there was nothing else, there was a little firewood and an empty rice jar in the kitchen, and no one lit a fire, so there was no smell of smoke in the house.

Liu Baoguo entered the kitchen, but suddenly fell back again, stretched out his head to look around, and closed the door after confirming that no one was there, then moved the cauldron on the kang, and jumped in. Finally, he stretched out his hand Little by little, move the pan back and cover.

The bottom of the kang is connected to a narrow tunnel, which can only allow one person to bend over.

Liu Baoguo walked in the dark for a while before reaching the end of the passage, his vision brightened in an instant, and then he entered a very spacious cave.

There were two couples, three children and a baby inside. As soon as they saw him coming, several children ran over excitedly: "Grandpa!"

"Hey." Liu Baoguo agreed with a smile, touched their little heads, quickly took out meat buns from his bosom, gave one to each of them, and said with a smile, "Quick, eat while it's hot."

"Oh~ meat buns!!!" Several children jumped up excitedly, pinching the buns with their dark hands, a few finger prints appeared immediately, they didn't care, they picked it up and ate it.

The two sons couldn't help being taken aback when they saw it: "Father, where did you get the buns?"

"A little girl said that she would soon be the city lord of Licheng, I don't know if it's true or not.

This steamed stuffed bun is the reward for taking them to see Licheng today, and there is still half of the city left, so I have to continue tomorrow. "

When the old man thought of everything he had experienced today, his face was full of excitement, and his heart became active, full of anticipation.

However, his second son frowned: "What city lord? Someone will come to be the lord of this ruined city? Dad, I'm afraid you have been cheated."

"What are you talking about." His wife glared at him, "If you can't speak, don't say anything. You can't lie. We are so poor here, what else is there to gain except the loess of the land? And this bun is fake ?”

After being blushed by his wife, the second child rolled his eyes angrily, walked to the side and sat down sullenly.

Liu Baoguo smiled: "Shoucheng, your wife is right, I am an old man with only this old body, what else can they plot against me?"

"Father, I didn't say that. In such a poor place like ours, there is really only a piece of loess left. Who would be more normal to come?
Even those dudes in the capital don't know how, and the emperors of the two dynasties even forgot that there is such a place. How can you make me believe in the new city lord who is so troublesome? "

"That's enough, second brother," Liu Shouye sighed softly, "Let them do it, it doesn't matter if it's a lie or it's the truth, we'll know in a couple of days." After finishing speaking, he sighed deeply again, Although he said so, he still hoped that it was true, after all...

This city is really about to die...

"Okay, I'll go find the little city lord early tomorrow, just in case it's true." Liu Baoguo said with a smile, divided the remaining buns among his sons and daughters-in-law, and kept one for himself.

Before dawn, Liu Baoguo got up early and went to the gate of the dilapidated city lord's mansion to wait.

He didn't make him wait for long. After waiting anxiously for half an hour, Lu Anran and his brother and sister came out with their horses.

Seeing the old man, he couldn't help being startled, and then smiled in unison, Lu Ziqi said: "Old man, we've been here and we don't know how to run away, you don't have to get up so early."

"Hey, I didn't set a time yesterday. The little old man was afraid of delaying his business, so he went earlier." Liu Baoguo replied with a smile.

Lu Anran nodded, and pointed to his back basket: "There are various measuring tools in it, see if you can help find some literate people, we will measure and measure the entire area and draw a complete map. "
