At the end of April, the sky was as blue as a mirror. In this mountain hut, two people started working early in the morning. After breakfast and washing the dishes, the sun shone in the courtyard of the house, which was already full of life. Extraordinarily gorgeous.
"I'm really reluctant to leave like this." The young man was carrying a big burden and watched the woman in front of him lock the halls with copper locks.
"I don't want to be here all my life." The woman locked the door, turned her head slightly and looked at the tall young man beside her, and said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
"Yes, it's whatever you say. In fact, I don't want to stay here for a long time." Shen Jie took a breath of the air in the courtyard and felt comfortable in his chest.
He closed the courtyard door, walked a few steps, and looked inside again, "I may never come back to this place in my life."
"The key is up to you. If you don't do well in the county, we have to come back." The woman said with a smile on her face.
Shen Jie didn't answer because he didn't have much confidence, but he still had the letter of appointment issued to him by Jiangnan Mansion in his arms. He felt that even if he couldn't be a classics official, it would be okay to get a small official.
I walked down the mountain village with twists and turns. Because I left early, I didn't meet anyone along the way. I turned around and looked in the direction of my home. There were several houses over there with smoke rising from their chimneys.
The surrounding environment was quiet and pleasant. It was rare for Shen Jie to go out. Moreover, after his body had fully recovered, he would swing his flexible body from time to time while walking.
"Master Xiu Cai, don't be immoral." Wang Zhuoer looked at him and wanted to laugh, but said without any expression on his face.
She found that although she lived in poverty with him, she was quite happy. If he could really get an official position in the county, she would be a little unworthy of him.
"The air here is really good. Take a deep breath and take a look." Shen Jie looked at the woman five meters behind him and saw that she was dressed like a woman, but she had never let him touch her during this time. He found that he was no match for this weak-looking woman in terms of strength.
She took a sip obediently, and the aroma of green grass came, infiltrating her body and mind, making her very comfortable.
Walking out of this mountain village trail, a straight gravel road leads directly to the town. Shen Jie looked into the distance. At the end of the road was a cluster of low houses shrouded in mist.
"Once you get there, walk a little further and you'll reach the town." Zhuo'er pointed her finger in that direction and said.
"The distance is not close." Shen Jie estimated that it was at least 3 miles away.
There are ditches on both sides of the road, with a depth of 1.5 meters and half a meter of river water in them. Following the direction they were walking, the river water was crystal clear, and small fish fry in the creek could be seen flowing down with the water.
Zhuo'er looked to the right at this time. The crops in the field were half a meter high, and they were rustling as gusts of wind blew by.
"Mr. Shen, if we live in the county in the future, we will come back often." A strand of long hair was blown to Zhuo'er's face by the wind, and her expression was a little messy. After brushing her hair, she looked at a man The young man walking side by side with her. Seeing his profile, Zhuo'er felt a little strange. He was really handsome.
For nearly a year, she had been taking care of him by herself. He had never left the house and she had never worried about anything. Now she unknowingly seemed to see the scene where she saw this man from a distance two years ago. , tall, handsome, and full of talents. People in the village gathered around him to find out what kind of woman could be worthy of him.
If he hadn't been seriously ill, maybe she would be like her sister and marry a rich family. Even if the man in her husband's family was short and ugly, she could live her life peacefully.
Shen Jie has always felt unsure in his heart. When he truly returns to being a mortal who knows nothing, the future is still very confusing. This feeling gives him a strange feeling of not knowing the future.
About half an hour later, the two finally reached the town. At this time, the sunshine in the sky was already very strong, and it was still a little hot on the body. There were beads of sweat on Zhuo'er's face.
She talked with the coachman over there for a long time without giving in at all, until the man agreed to send them to the county for twenty cash.
She turned back to look at the young man who didn't say a word and let her make the decision, "The price is okay, let's go."
The young man nodded. The carriage was really worn out, and the ground was uneven. Shen Jie felt like he was about to fall off the carriage due to the jolt, but there was nothing he could do. The sixty-mile journey from here to the county seat would be difficult if he relied solely on He didn't know how long he would be able to reach the county because of his weak legs, and he heard from Zhuo'er that the journey would be quite dangerous at night, so he had to enter the city no matter what during the day.
