Chapter 385 Visit
Zhou Yu's captain is a strong man in his early 20s, with a thick beard on his lips, making him look mature beyond his age.

Seeing the listless appearance of his team members, he shouted loudly: "Everyone cheer up, the next period of time is up to us. Let's rest here for a while and check our equipment."

The team members didn't speak, they sat around silently and took off the backpacks behind them.

The backpacks of the expedition members are sewn with dinosaur farts, which are even stronger than cowhide.

Wang Lang designed this kind of adventure bag based on modern mountaineering bags, which can hold at least a dozen kilograms of things, but of course the team members can't carry such heavy things on long distances.

Most people only have one or two books in their backpacks, dry food for the road, some first aid medicine, and clean gauze.

And on the waists of these expedition members, there is still a water bottle made of dinosaur skin. The scattered equipment does not seem to be much, but the weight is about ten catties.

Zhou Yu opened the backpack he was holding and checked it carefully. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with the contents in the backpack, he fastened the backpack again.

After seeing that everyone had checked, the captain took a strange object and watched it repeatedly.

Zhou Yu has seen this thing before. According to officials from the Ministry of Industry, this thing is used in the navy, and its name is the compass.

This little thing can automatically distinguish between north and south, which is amazing to these students.

But they know that this is definitely not the power of some god, but a principle that they do not know, and this principle is not found in books at all.

The captain looked at the slightly trembling needle in the compass, raised his head to look around, and asked another student with the complete map of China to take out the map.

Referring to the map, the captain said in a deep voice: "This is Dingbei City. We are about [-] miles west of Dingbei City. If we go further west, there should be a mountain range. We have learned it during training, and the minerals are average. It's easier to find in the mountains, so let's go here first, and after searching here for a while, we'll go west and see if you have any opinions."

"We listen to the captain."

Everyone replied one after another.

The captain nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go west in this direction now, and we must find a suitable campsite before dark."

Everyone cheered up, put their backpacks on their backs, took their weapons, and walked cautiously towards the west.

In Yancheng, after Wu Feng got acquainted with his new identity after a month, he began to think about his life-long affairs.

Although he is now an official of the fifth rank, he is still a little afraid of Lin Shilang.

This prospective son-in-law meeting his father-in-law is a challenge to men no matter in ancient times or in modern times.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Wu Feng finally made up his mind to go to Lin's house in person.

When Wu Feng's mother and adoptive father heard Wu Feng say that he would go to Lin Shilang's house to propose marriage, they both looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

In the past, Lin Shilang ignored the difference in status and sent someone from his home to propose marriage.

At the beginning, you rejected such a big person, and now you go to propose marriage, aren't you joking?

"Feng, are you confused? If you go to the Lin's house now, you are making yourself uncomfortable. Waiter Lin will beat you out." Wu Feng's adoptive father frowned and said.

"I also know it's very difficult, but I can't fly there. I promised Miss Lin that I would go to the Lin family after the exam. It's been a month now, and I can't procrastinate any longer." Wu Feng sighed.

"Miss Lin, which Miss Lin?" Mother Wu asked.

Wu Feng couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly, "That's...that's Lin Shilang's daughter."

The two were taken aback when they heard the words.

"When did you meet Miss Lin? Why haven't you mentioned it?" Mother Wu looked at Wu Feng in surprise.

"It's a long story, mother, father, I must do this." Wu Feng's expression suddenly became serious.

The two looked at each other, Father Wu sighed and said: "Forget it, the child can do whatever he wants. I have worked in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and I have heard people talk about Lin Shilang. Although this man He has a bit of a temper, but he is quite sensible, and he was more optimistic about our style before, let him try this matter."

Mother Wu was silent for a while, looked at Wu Feng and said, "What are you going to do?"

"The salary for this month has already been issued. I want to use the money to buy something to go to the Lin family. No matter what the result is, I must go." Wu Feng said in a deep voice.

"Your salary is only a few dollars a month, and Lin Shilang probably doesn't like it. I have accumulated some money over the years. I will give it to you later and buy some good ones for you." Father Wu said slowly.

"Father!"

Wu Feng was very moved in his heart. Although he was not born to the man in front of him, he almost treated him as his own. It can be said that Wu Feng was lucky to be able to grow up in Wu's parents.

Father Wu got up from the chair and walked to his room.

After a while, he came out holding a wooden box.

"Here is seventy pennies, take it."

Father Wu said and put the wooden box on the table.

Wu Feng nodded, didn't say much, took the box over, got up and said, "Mom, I'll go then."

The two nodded, and watched Wu Feng walk out of the house with worried faces.

Wu Feng was walking on the crowded street with the money box in his arms, looking restless.

When passing by the square in the center of Yancheng, Wu Feng took a look at the clock tower under construction. The appearance of the clock tower has been completed. He estimated that in two or three months, this building will be officially put into operation. In the middle.

Ordinary people don't know what it is, but as a middle-level official of the Ministry of Industry, he naturally has no reason not to know.

He has seen the process of making clocks and watches with his own eyes. Those complicated mechanical parts and beautiful gears are still shaking his mind.

What kind of wisdom is it to design such an exquisite machine? His Majesty the Emperor, the number one wise man in Great Xia, always looks down on himself from the clouds like a mountain that is out of reach.

His own wisdom is as insignificant as an ant in front of him.

Wu Feng shook his head and didn't think about it. After passing the square, he came to the most prosperous street in Yancheng.

With the money, Wu Feng spent several hours on the purchases. In order to carry these things, he even rented a vehicle from the trading station, and then walked towards the Lin family.

Lin.

Lin Xin was sitting on a low stool in the courtyard, following a few female elders to prepare today's dinner, but it could be seen from her eyes that her heart was not here at the moment.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the glowing red sunset in the sky made this huge city extremely beautiful.

"Bump bump!"

There was a knock on the door.

The Wu family members were a little surprised. Usually no one would visit at this time. I don't know who would come at this time.

Lin Xin looked at the locked gate, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

A woman put down the dishes in her hand and went to open the door.

When the courtyard door opened and the woman saw that the person who came was a strange young man, she asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

"This is Lin Shilang's home!" Wu Feng said nervously.

The woman nodded and said, "It's Lin Shilang's family, you are..."

"Oh, my name is Wu Feng, and I came to visit Lin Shilang on purpose today." Wu Feng replied hastily.

The woman looked at Wu Feng, chanted the name, her expression suddenly changed, she looked at Wu Feng in surprise, and said, "Are you the number one scholar?"

Wu Feng smiled and said, "It's the student."

Seeing Wu Feng's admission, the woman's expression became a little weird. It's not the first time she's heard of the name Wu Feng. Apart from the reason of being the number one scholar, it's more because of Lin Shilang's dissatisfaction. The one who knows the times.

Seeing the woman's expression, Wu Feng asked, "Is there any question?"

The woman quickly shook her head and said, "No problem, just wait here for a while, and I'll tell my husband."

Wu Feng nodded, watching the woman rushing towards the courtyard.

Back in the small courtyard, the other two women asked curiously, "Sister, who is outside the door?"

"Oh, you will know in a while."

After speaking, he turned and walked into the house.

In the spacious and bright room, Lin Shilang was lying on the rocking chair, enjoying the evening sun leisurely, humming an unknown song softly, looking very comfortable.

"Husband!"

Hearing the woman's voice, Lin Shilang slowly opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong."

"Husband, someone is looking for you outside the door." The woman said with a strange expression.

"Someone let him in."

"This man's name is Wu Feng, and he is this year's champion."

Lin Shilang's face immediately turned cold when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "No see."

The woman said with some embarrassment: "Husband, he is the No. [-] Scholar this year, and he is an official in the same dynasty as you. It is not good to do so."

"What kind of bullshit number one scholar? He made me lose face in front of my colleagues. I didn't bother him, but he dared to come to my door." Lin Shilang said in a cold tone.

"Okay, I'll let him go back now." The woman shook her head, turned and left.

Wu Feng's sudden appearance completely messed up his rare good mood, Lin Shilang was so angry.

"My husband said, he won't see you, you should go back." After the woman finished speaking to Wu Feng, she wanted to close the courtyard door.

Wu Feng quickly stretched out his hand to support the courtyard door, and said, "Mrs. Lin, I must see Lin Shilang today. I am going to propose marriage to the Lin family. I want to marry Lin Xin."

The woman was taken aback by Wu Feng's actions, and when she heard Wu Feng's words, she sneered and said, "Marry Lin Xin, what have you done long ago, the husband is unhappy because of this matter, don't say that the husband refuses to agree , I don’t agree either, so hurry up and leave.”

Wu Feng struggled for so long before he made up his mind to come to Lin's house. How could he be reconciled to returning in such a despondent manner, pulling his neck and shouting loudly: "Lin Xin, Lin Xin."

Hearing that Wu Feng was Wu Feng's voice, Lin Xin's body trembled, joy came from his heart, he ignored the surprised gazes of the other two women, put down what he was doing, got up and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that familiar figure, Wu Feng waved excitedly and said, "Lin Xin."

Standing not far away, Lin Xin nodded slightly to Wu Feng, with a smile on her face.

Seeing Lin Xin approaching, the woman was a little annoyed, "What are you doing here, and you're not going back."

Lin Xin bit her lip and said, "Mother, let the wind in."

"Feng, you are so close, do you know each other before?" The woman glared at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin nodded, a little afraid to meet the woman's eyes.

Seeing that the woman wanted to reprimand Lin Xin, Wu Feng quickly said, "Madam Lin, please don't blame Lin Xin, it's my fault."

The woman glared at Wu Feng and snorted coldly.

The noisy situation at the Lin family's side could not help attracting the attention of passers-by on the street. Seeing more and more people looking at this side, Mrs. Lin's expression was very ugly. How decent is it to recognize the place where people are watching.

"You wait here." After the woman finished speaking angrily, she turned and walked towards the courtyard.

At this time, Lin Xin just wanted to walk towards Wu Feng, but was grabbed by the woman, and said angrily: "What are you dreaming about, come with me to see your father."

Lin Xin was dragged by the woman with a sad face, turning her head to look at Wu Feng from time to time.

Lin Shilang's face was as gloomy as water at this moment, and he asked coldly: "Has that man left yet?",

The woman cast a glance at Lin Xin, and said slowly, "Husband, Wu Feng said that he came to propose marriage."

Hearing this, Lin Shilang smiled angrily, "Oh, to propose marriage, he still has the courage to come here to propose marriage." He glanced at Lin Xin at the side, and said angrily, "Tell me what's going on."

Lin Xin's face turned pale, and she whispered, "Father, I like Wu Feng."

"So you have known each other for a long time." Lin Shilang narrowed his eyes.

Lin Xin nodded and said, "We've known each other for a while, but I just met by chance. I didn't know until later that he was the one my father went to propose."

Lin Shilang was panting heavily, and was about to hit Lin Xin when he was doing something.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin quickly stopped her and said, "Husband, now is not the time to beat Lin Xin. Others are watching outside. This matter has become a big deal, and your face is not good-looking."

Lin Shilang suppressed his anger and said: "Let that guy in, I'll see how he has the face to see me."

After finishing speaking, he said coldly to Lin Xin, "Kneel down for me."

Lin Xin's petite body trembled, and she knelt down in front of Lin Shilang.

After seeing Wu Feng, the woman said expressionlessly, "Come in, my husband wants to see you."

Wu Feng was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded his head Lian Lian, and hurriedly removed the things from the car.

The woman just cast a glance, ignored Wu Feng's actions and let him put these messy things in the yard.

Wu Feng followed the woman and walked into Lin's house nervously.
