It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 20 Only graves face south and north...

at dusk.

In front of the large house under the mine.

Everyone looked around curiously.

Lu Yuan was packing things in the house with Xu Erlei and Lin Wensui.

Lu Yuan is going to Taining City. Naturally, he will not leave Xu Erlei and Lin Wensui behind.

It has been agreed with Zhao Qiaoer that these two people will stay in Zhao Qiaoer's mansion from now on.

Be it cleaning or watering the flowers, these two will be real Red Gate disciples in the future.

As for Lu Yuan, Zhao Qiaoer finally agreed to let Lu Yuan go to the manor.

After all, even if Zhao Qiaoer disagrees, it won't work. Lu Yuan insists on going, so what can Zhao Qiaoer do?

Can Lu Yuan still be locked up?

So, even though Zhao Qiaoer was extremely reluctant, she finally gave in.

Now Lu Yuan and Zhao Qiaoer will go back to Taining City first. Since Zhao Qiaoer's illness will take a few days to recover, Lu Yuan will naturally follow them.

Also, if Lu Yuan is asked to go to the farm, Zhao Qiaoer will have to choose this farm carefully.

You can't just assign a farm to Lu Yuan casually.

It has to be close to Taining City.

Also, the shopkeeper of the manor must be capable and able to teach Lu Yuan things.

Anyway, I have to go back and think about it carefully.

Lu Yuan and his group went back first, while those who were practicing with Zhao Qiaoer at that time had to stay in the mine for a few more days.

The main thing is to let these people drink medicine.

Only after taking the medicine for seven or eight days and their bodies have almost recovered will these people go home to visit their families.

Zhao Qiaoer gave these people plenty of time, and they all reported in a month later.

……

One thousand eight hundred miles north of the Shenling Imperial Capital, you will reach the borders of the empire.

Outside the empire, it is a bitterly cold place with heavy snow in September.

In late winter, a cold wave swept through and froze thousands of miles overnight.

The fish in the water will be frozen the moment they jump out of the water.

Although the area outside the Great Wall is bitterly cold, it is also vast and rich in resources. Fairy flowers and magical herbs are hidden in the mountains, and rare and ferocious beasts gather in the forests.

A hundred-year-old ginseng and a black fox skin can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver inside the Great Wall.

On snowless days, the fertile black soil can also grow precious cold-region rice, which is the best tribute to the royal family.

But most of this money was earned by middlemen, and ordinary people did not get much.

However, as the saying goes, nothing is absolute in the world and there are exceptions to everything.

Even in this bitterly cold place with snow in September, there is an oasis.

It was Taining City, the largest city outside the Great Wall of the Shenling Empire.

Taining City is located at the foot of the Taiyin Mountains, which stretch for 1,400 miles.

The cold current from the Far North is blocked by the Taiyin Mountains, and the white wind here in winter is far less cold than outside.

The mine of Yanxianghui is only a dozen miles away from Taining City.

At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the convoy arrived in front of the city gate tower of Taining City.

Speaking of which, this is Lu Yuan’s first time in Taining City.

After passing through the huge and towering city gate tower, the interior of Taining City came into view before Lu Yuan's eyes.

The shops around the street are brightly lit, with big red lanterns hanging on each door.

Through the window, you can see dignitaries toasting each other inside.

From time to time, men and women appeared in the shop. The men were dressed exquisitely, with their hair combed meticulously and a single peep show hanging on their chest.

The women were wearing gold and silver jewelry, gorgeous cheongsams, and high heels. When they walked, their buttocks could be seen wiggling up to the sky.

It looks extremely prosperous, but there are also many ordinary people in tattered clothes on the roadside.

These people walk with their heads down, being cautious and reserved, not daring to look around.

If his eyes accidentally swept across the noble woman's buttocks and were caught, he would probably be severely beaten.

It was Lu Yuan’s first time to go into the city. He leaned against the window and looked around, finding everything strange.

"First time in the city?" Zhao Qiaoer said softly as she looked at Lu Yuan, who was leaning against the car window and looking out with curiosity.

Lu Yuan looked back at Zhao Qiaoer and immediately nodded:

"Correct."

Hearing Lu Yuan's reply, Zhao Qiaoer smiled slightly and said with a hint of temptation:

“Isn’t the city more lively than the town?
There are so many fun and interesting things in this city. Tonight, the Queen will take you to Yushizhai for dinner.

After dinner, let’s go...”

Before Zhao Qiaoer finished speaking, Lu Yuan interrupted her seriously:
“That’s not necessary. There are so many fun and interesting experiences here. We don’t want to go to Zhuangzi as a traveler.

When God bestows a great responsibility on a man, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry. "

Although Taining City is huge and prosperous, it is actually not that bad for Lu Yuan.

After all, Lu Yuan traveled back from modern times.

What kind of international metropolis has Lu Yuan not seen?
Compared with the big cities on Earth, Taining City is really far behind.

That is, I have been in the town for several years, and now I suddenly go into the city and look around out of curiosity.

But actually, there is nothing fun to do if you really want to play.

It's just listening to music and watching plays, it's not that interesting.

Compared to these, it is better to learn methods and practice skills.

Finally, pursuing the path to immortality is the right way.

Of course, this is a bit vague, after all, Lu Yuan is just getting started.

However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Without taking small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles.

Zhao Qiaoer couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Lu Yuan's words and said in a tender voice:

"You, you, just die!"

Lu Yuan insisted on going to the farm. Zhao Qiaoer was really helpless. No matter what she said, this guy wouldn't listen to her at all.

However, this is what is said.

But deep down, Zhao Qiaoer liked Lu Yuan very much.

Who doesn’t like a motivated, sunny and cheerful teenager?

It is obvious that he could be rich and prosperous with me around, but he still has to work hard on his own.

Who doesn't love this kind of personality?

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of character that he was able to possess such high medical skills at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

If I forcefully detained Lu Yuan by my side, I might end up harming him.

Soon, the convoy arrived in front of a large mansion with bright lights.

There is only one mansion on this street, and even the street in front of the mansion is paved with bluestone bricks, which looks extremely clean and tidy.

After getting off the car, Zhao Qiaoer took Lu Yuan and walked towards the inner courtyard of the mansion.

Xu Erlei and Lin Wensui lived in the outer courtyard and did some odd jobs.

Only after you gain some experience and understand the ways of the world will you be assigned to other places.

Lu Yuan ignored the two of them and followed Zhao Qiaoer inside.

To be honest, from the moment he arrived until he entered the door, Lu Yuan always felt something was strange.

After he completely came in, Lu Yuan knew what was wrong.

This big house...

Facing south?

Whether it is the Earth or the houses in the Shenling Empire, they basically face north and south.

That is, the front door faces south and the back of the house faces north.

Of course, there are also some houses with gates facing east or west due to special geographical reasons.

Does that mean there is no house facing south in the world?
No.
