In Xuefeng City in the early morning, the biting chill of late autumn nights still lingers, making foreigners who have just arrived feel very uncomfortable.
Huade was a personal servant. As usual, he got up early to serve his master and prepare today's breakfast for him.
Last night, the host and his friends drank and chatted very late, resulting in them not getting up for three hours.
Huade has long been accustomed to such situations.
His master, ranked third in the family, was destined to be impossible to become the head of the family.
When he reaches adulthood, he will either manage a family property or receive a sum of money every year, marry a wife and have children to live out his life.
His master was seriously lacking in ambition and was busy eating, drinking and having fun every day.
Meeting such a master is actually a very tiring thing.
As the other party's personal servant, you must be with him all the time. Day and night are often reversed, and there is no way to have a good rest.
But for the sake of high wages and a job for his family, Hua De must work hard to persevere.
In the country where he lives, there is a special employment system. Rich people are used to arranging personal servants for their children.
Being a personal servant requires a lot of restrictions, and not everyone can do it.
The family background must be clean, and family members must have no criminal records. Once successfully selected, the family members will also get jobs together.
However, this kind of work is more like a kind of hostage detention. If something goes wrong, the family will be implicated.
Huade was very lucky. When he was twelve years old, he was chosen by a rich man from the village to become his son's personal servant.
The job of serving people is naturally not easy.
When the target of personal service is a playboy of a wealthy businessman, you will definitely encounter more troubles.
Huade always gritted his teeth and persisted, gradually adapting to this job. The owner who had a bad attitude gradually changed his attitude towards Huade.
After all the hardships, Hua De is no longer as aggrieved as before.
This time I came to Xuefeng City because the rich young man was pursuing an official lady and was going to explore the ruins of the Fairy Kingdom.
The male and female friends of the official lady, as well as a large group of suitors, followed her one after another.
For them, this is a romantic and interesting journey, just to please their sweetheart.
For personal servants, this is not a good thing. It means that they have to do more work and even bear certain risks.
Huade also knew some rumors about the ruins of the Fairy Kingdom and knew that the place was not particularly safe.
In the coming period, people from many countries and religions will definitely gather there.
In such a chaotic environment, danger can easily occur.
Huade once reminded his master to be more careful, but he didn't get the attention of the master.
While thinking about things in his mind, Huade kept busy until his master got up to eat and then pack up his personal belongings.
It is impossible for a group of young ladies from wealthy families to travel on foot, but it is impossible to drive a car on the roads in the mountains and forests.
They had no choice but to ride a horse or walk on foot. Needless to say, they had to put in a lot of hard work during the process.
Hua De seriously doubted that this group of people would give up halfway and would not be able to persist to the end.
However, in his heart, he still hoped that there would be an end to the beginning. Huade also wanted to see and experience with his own eyes the legendary ruins of the Fairy Kingdom and the extraordinary power that young men and ladies longed for.
What kind of charm can there be in something that can make the rich and powerful yearn for fear and fight for it at all costs?
When everyone was ready and ready to leave at any time, the official lady did not show up.
After asking, I found out that it was because I was not used to the local water, soil and climate that I got sick due to the wind and cold last night.
At the moment, I am bedridden and unable to get up at all.
The trip was also delayed because of this. When will I recover from my illness and when will I be able to get back on the road again?
When a group of suitors heard about this, they all went to express their concern and concern.
Huade and a group of personal servants could only put back the packed things and wait for the next step.
Soon they discovered that Xuefeng City had become extremely lively.
Teams from different places continued to pour into the city. The streets were crowded with people, most of whom spoke with foreign accents.
These people are active in Xuefeng City, some hire guides, some replenish needed items, and their final destinations are the ruins of the Fairyland.
Judging from their identities and attire, you can tell that they are definitely not ordinary people. They are either powerful and wealthy businessmen, warriors and soldiers, or they are gangsters who lick blood with their swords.
The local officials in Xuefeng City had to get busy, maintaining order on the one hand, and sending people to provide guidance on the other.
Let the outsiders leave as soon as possible before they cause too much trouble.
On the contrary, the merchants are happy, and so many foreign guests have made their business extremely good.
After a short rest and replenishing the required supplies, these teams of different sizes left one after another.
At the same time, more people continued to flow towards Xuefeng City.
Huade's master and his friends were just going out to play and were not very interested in the ruins of the fairyland.
But in the past few days, they saw countless people gathering to go to the ruins of the Fairy Kingdom, and their curiosity was aroused.
I wanted to go back home, but now I am ready to take a look.
The delicate official lady, after three days of rest in bed, was finally able to move around freely.
I originally planned to go home, but I didn't want to endure the bumpy journey and the cold wind and night dew deep in the mountains.
But seeing so many people heading towards the ruins of the Fairy Kingdom, she picked up the abandoned plan again.
As a child of an official family, the official lady knows a lot of information and understands that extraordinary power can affect the entire world.
If she can master this power, she will definitely have better development in the future. Not only will she receive key support from her family, she may even become the prince's concubine in the future.
If the prince succeeds in ascending the throne one day, she can become the queen of a country.
Such a huge temptation made her unable to give up at all, and she would continue to persist even if she gritted her teeth.
As for the sons of businessmen and the descendants of small officials, there is no need to pay much attention to them.
They are just a bunch of disgusting dog lickers who want to eat swan meat. They will only waste time and energy and there is no way they will get what they want.
The official lady made up her mind and finally decided to continue on the road and follow the other teams.
Since the news came back two days ago that there were wild beasts and robbers along the way, many teams will choose to travel in groups.
Under a stone wall outside the city, the expedition team of Huade and others set off together with three other teams.
The road that was originally not very wide has become much easier to walk after the past few days of trampling and opening up.
However, the feces and urine that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, as well as the stinky smell blowing in the wind, will still have a certain impact on your mood.
Fortunately, everyone is in high spirits and doesn't care about this kind of environmental pollution.
In fact, in many cities, feces and urine are everywhere in the streets and alleys, and wealthy people have to take a car to go out.
When it rains and floods spread, the entire city will be soaked in a soup of excrement, urine, and feces.
Compared to a place like that, the environment in the wild is quite good.
The team moved forward, chatting and laughing, but it was not too boring.
For the official lady and his group of followers, this is a relatively time-consuming suburban trip.
Huade and a group of personal servants found it a bit difficult. Although there were horses pulling luggage and supplies, they still carried some packages on their backs.
Along the way, I felt very tired.
Fortunately, at sunset, we came to a small stream with clear water, and there was a big tree with a few lines of text written on it.
"This is the campsite, rest here tonight."
The local guide who was responsible for leading the way spoke loudly to everyone, and then gave instructions on how to set up the tent and what to pay attention to when camping at night.
There is a large open space beside the creek, with a few large trees growing sparsely, and the green grass is like a blanket.
When the sun sets, golden light falls on the creek, and rays of light fall through the treetops to the grass.
Such a beautiful scenery made everyone feel amazed.
