On the third day of March in the 24th year of Zhaohua, Li Chenan and his party walked on this ancient Shuzhou road.
Entering the Shuzhou Ancient Road, one is in the midst of lofty mountains.
Of course this road is difficult.
Even the little black donkey seemed to have some difficulty walking.
Of course, the reason it was so hard was because it was carrying two people.
The team was not moving very fast, but it was still three minutes faster than the business travelers traveling on the ancient roads.
On this ancient road, all the goods can only be carried by cattle and horses, and it is impossible to drive.
But this is the only trade route from Shuzhou to the Guanzhong Plain. Except for the winter when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, there are many business travelers traveling there and back at other times.
Therefore, on this ancient road, there are some inns that are not considered inns.
That is to build a simple hut in a slightly open area, and then set up a shed outside the hut to protect it from wind and rain.
Put three or five tables under the shed, put up a small flag, and write a big word "wine" or "tea" on it, and it became a resting place for business travelers.
In the evening, Li Chenan and his party arrived outside a hut.
A shabby flag hung on a tall flagpole was fluttering in the evening breeze.
There is a big word "wine" written on the flag.
This means that there is wine and food here.
There were five tables under the shed, and four people were sitting at one of them.
Four men with swords and robes on their backs.
This is obviously not a businessman, but a person from the world.
Li Chenan looked up at the sky and told Wang Zhenghaoxuan: "We will stay here tonight."
"Okay!"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan walked under the shed and shouted at the hut: "The shopkeeper...!"
A burly man about thirty years old came out of the hut. He wiped his hands on his apron, bowed slightly, and showed an unpleasant smile:
"Sir, the young one is here!"
"We have a lot of people, more than two hundred people. Do you have enough to eat?"
When the strong man heard this, he looked over and his tiger eyes lit up. This was a big deal.
"This... the food we have saved today is definitely not enough. Otherwise, if you guys can wait, I can go into the mountains to hunt some game and cook it for the guests. How about that?"
When Wang Zhenghaoxuan heard this, of course it was possible.
"Then it's settled, go back quickly...are you going alone?"
"Ah, the younger one is going with dad."
Then, Wang Zhenghaoxuan saw the strong man turning towards the hut and yelling: "Old man, come out with a machete, bow and arrow, big deal!"
"Okay!"
Another energetic old man walked out of the hut.
There was a sweatband wrapped around his waist, with two short knives attached to the sweatband, and a large bow on his back.
The old man also looked at Li Chenan and his party, bowed to Wang Zhenghaoxuan, and said, "Sir, where we live... you have to take advantage of the moment to chop more firewood. It's very cold in the mountains at night."
"Thank you for reminding me, husband...do you need our help with this hunting?"
The old man waved his hand: "Those things in the mountains are cunning. Too many people are bad. My son and I are familiar with this matter. If we are lucky and get back a blind bear, then the guests will be in luck."
After saying this, the man shouted into the hut: "Dong Niang, my father and I are going for a walk in the mountains. Please keep an eye on this."
A woman's voice came from inside: "Okay, it's getting dark today, so be careful."
"Well, let's go."
After saying this, the father and son left the hut and walked toward the mountain behind the hut.
Kaiyang has led more than two hundred women's troops to find an open space and start camping. Li Chenan and Xiao Baozi also got off the backs of the little black donkeys. They were about to follow the gurgling stream and go to the stream to wash their faces. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu came over.
"Beep, bab, bab..."
Xiao Wu squatted on the ground and wrote:
"I have been to Qinba Mountain many times to collect herbs."
"I will also go to the mountains to have a look. It would be great if I could collect some Aconitum, Salvia and Ganoderma."
Li Chenan nodded, squatted on the ground and wrote:
"Come back early and be safe!"
Xiao Wu left happily with a medicine basket on his back.
Li Chenan and Xiao Baozi came to the creek.
Xiao Baozi sat on a stone and put his jade-like feet into the stream.
This was melted snow water and it was very cold, but Xiao Baozi didn't seem to care at all.
Li Chenan stood upstream of Xiao Baozi, squatted down, and washed his face. Under the stimulation of the cold stream, he suddenly felt energetic.
When I got up, I saw a rhododendron in bud by the stream.
If it were in Guangling City, the peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island in Peach Blossom Mountain would also be in full bloom.
It’s March 3rd again!
Before I knew it, it had been a year since I came to this world.
Li Chenan sat next to Xiao Baozi, looking at the green mountains, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
He realized that it had been a long time since he recalled the world he once had.
Only then did he realize that he had integrated into this world.
But in this year, what made him truly happy, what made him truly feel that he had roots, was not the so-called Poet Immortal's name, nor was it the supreme status of the Regent.
But Zhongli Ruoshui is far away in Shuzhou.
And this girl Xiao next to me.
He suddenly understood something——
The so-called home is not just a residence.
It is a destination, a reliance, a lingering attachment, and a harbor that carries family affection.
My villa in my previous life was very big, but it was not really a home.
There was no hostess inside, and instead of caring about that place, I was actually afraid of going back.
Because it was too deserted and lonely inside.
It's different in this world.
Here you have someone you care about, and a woman who cares about you. This is where you have a home, a root, and a place to put your unruly heart.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Baozi turned to look at Li Chen'an, who was lost in thought, and said, "Isn't it only about a month's journey to Chongzhou Mansion? But we will see sister Ruoshui soon."
Li Chenan retracted his thoughts and stretched out a hand to wrap around Xiao Baozi's waist.
"That's not what I was thinking about."
"I was thinking...God has treated me well."
Xiao Baozi curled his lips, thinking that God does treat you well, but you are worse than a beast!
How could Li Chenan know what Xiao Baozi was thinking in his heart? He sighed and said:
"Actually...I am a very lazy person at heart."
"If you want me to sit on the dragon throne and become the emperor, I can't do it."
"I can't do it if I have to worry about state affairs every day."
"If you ask me to do big things like leading troops to fight and opening up territories, I still can't do it."
Xiao Baozi said: "Men, you can't say you can't do it!"
Li Chenan was startled, and Xiao Baozi suddenly shyly whispered: "Actually...it doesn't matter if those things don't work."
Xiao Baozi looked at Li Chenan with stars in his slender eyes.
She bit her lip, "Do you know why I like to soak my feet in this cold water?"
Li Chenan grinned.
Xiao Baozi glanced at him and said, "Spring will pass quickly!"
Li Chenan's index finger moved. He was about to make Xiao Baozi as a milestone in his first year in this world, but unexpectedly Amu came over.
"Ahem..."
"Zhang Sanqiang, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City's MI6 Service, wants to see you!"
What can Li Chenan do?
He stood up and left. Xiao Baozi took a deep breath with a look of resentment on his face!
