In another hour, it will be dawn.
Zhao Chuan recalled the long dream just now and felt no sleepiness anymore.
Zhao Chuan sat on the bed blankly. After half an hour of thinking, he still couldn't calm down. He felt more and more that there was an invisible helplessness restraining him from the past.
Zhao Chuan sighed and simply got up to pack his things and prepare to go out. He might as well go back to Mengcheng.
Zhao Chuan packed up his things and went down to the second floor.
It was almost midnight, and in the front hall on the first floor, the female shopkeeper, who had gotten up early, was explaining the day's affairs to two clerks.
Seeing Zhao Chuan getting up so early, the female shopkeeper was startled, and then hurriedly came to greet him and asked, "Where are you going, young master, so early?"
Zhao Chuan waved his hand casually and said he was going out.
The female shopkeeper said she wouldn't wait until those shopkeepers came back? Maybe they will come in a few days.
"Oh, no wait! They just brought some rare things. No matter how precious the things are, they are not as valuable as human kindness!" Zhao Chuan sighed and left the inn.
Zhao Chuan originally had the habit of getting up early to run. Since the Zhao family was exterminated when he was twelve years old, he has no longer maintained this habit. But this morning I felt unsettled and wanted to run again for some reason.
But the morning run now is different from the morning run four years ago.
Zhao Chuan tied the baggage on his back and started running along the street.
Xintang Town was not a big town, so Zhao Chuan started to climb into the clouds and was on the streets within a few seconds of starting.
There is an open space in front of the street, with discarded junk thrown everywhere. It is a garbage dump.
Just as Zhao Chuan was about to stop, someone rushed past him with a cry from behind, and the floating hem of his clothes actually hit Zhao Chuan in the face.
His grandma's, who is this? I squeezed in on such a wide street and didn't stop to apologize when I bumped into someone. Are you showing off that you can run faster than others?
Of course Zhao Chuan was unhappy. Although being able to run and be beaten had been his strengths since he was a child, it was really unlucky to be eaten up before dawn this early in the morning.
Chase! Catch him and beat him up!
After chasing him for a certain distance, Zhao Chuan felt that the man's kung fu was not low and he was running relatively fast. If he didn't exert himself, he might not be able to catch up with him.
With a thought in his mind, Zhao Chuan pushed the fifth level of the Five Elements Magic Art to the extreme, and started chasing like the wind.
Zhao Chuan was faster, and so was the man in front.
I don't know if the person in front knew that Zhao Chuan was chasing him, but the person in front of him didn't look back, but he even snaked forward as he ran, apparently trying to prevent Zhao Chuan from overtaking him.
Zhao Chuan was even more angry. His grandma was clearly looking down on him.
Although it is not bright, it is still dark, and the darkness before dawn is the darkest time of the night. But Zhao Chuan had night vision. After chasing for a while, he finally got closer. He could vaguely tell that the person in front of him was a woman, because she was wearing a bright red cloak, running very cool, and had a hair tie on her head. A red turban.
Although red and black are both dark colors at night, there is a black phoenix embroidered on the man's back, so the reflections of the two at night are still different. Another thing is that it is impossible for men to embroider this. Another thing is that only red clothes are embroidered with pictures. How can black clothes be embroidered with pictures?
Although Zhao Chuan pushed his speed to the extreme, he just couldn't catch up with the man. The distance of about ten steps made Zhao Chuan very annoyed.
Although it was still dark, Zhao Chuan could tell that the girl was only a red Qi practitioner. Logically speaking, people at this stage of cultivation would not be able to run much faster, let alone Zhao Chuan, who was already a blue Qi practitioner. , but Zhao Zan just couldn’t catch up.
Zhao Chuan scolded him when he couldn't catch up. The purpose was to stimulate the person to turn around. He wanted to find out whether the person in front was a boy or girl to confirm his judgment.
But the man in front ran too fast.
Zhao Chuan felt that the person's body was that of a woman's, with a slender waist and tall, long legs.
Men are actually very sensitive to women's bodies.
Both sides are running at full strength, so it is not convenient to use spiritual energy to hit people, because the speed will be slowed down once the force is used.
Swearing doesn't require much spiritual energy, and it doesn't affect your speed at all. As long as the person in front of you gets yelled at and yells back, since he doesn't look back, you can tell whether it's a boy or a girl by the sound of his voice.
But the person in front didn't look back or yell back, but it was obvious that the person must be angry, otherwise he wouldn't have used his spiritual energy to run as hard as he could, because as soon as he slowed down, Zhao Chuan would catch up a few steps. People speed up quickly.
Zhao Chuan originally came out for a morning jog to relax, and the destination didn't matter.
But the man in front had a clear destination. After leaving the town, he ran along the official road towards Mengcheng.
Zhao Chuan has walked the road to Mengcheng, and now he wants to go to Mengcheng. Since this person wants to run, let's follow him and see who can finish last.
Seeing that the people in front of him ignored him, Zhao Chuan simply started to fight with them.
In fact, it was not that Zhao Chuan was not brave enough and insisted on rushing to ask for an explanation or an apology. He was just curious. He just wanted to know whether the person was a man or a woman, and he was running in such a hurry. What happened?
After running for a while, it was daybreak.
It would be easier as soon as it got light, and Zhao Chuan would be able to see clearly what was happening to the person running in front of him.
They are only about ten steps apart, which is actually very close.
At dawn, Zhao Chuan saw clearly that the person was indeed a woman, because although there was a red scarf on her head, he could see the jewelry on her head and the earrings on her ears.
The red coat on this woman was good, but it was not a cloak, it was just a robe. It was torn by some unknown means, so when it was dragged behind her, it floated like a cloak.
Zhao Chuan shouted from behind: "Hey! That sister in front! Take a break! Aren't you tired?"
The woman still ignored him.
"Hey! You just ran past me and bumped into me!"
The woman ignored him.
"Don't worry, I'm not a prankster. I'm just kindly asking you to stop and take a break. Don't be exhausted!" Seeing that she was ignoring her, Zhao Chuan simply started to talk nonsense again.
Although this was an official road leading to Mengcheng, because most of it went around the foot of the mountain and the roads were poor, it was not easy to walk, so the woman also slowed down.
Although the official road leading to Mengcheng is more than three hundred miles in total, it is really difficult to walk. Last time, Zhao Chuan took Mr. Jin and the three of them and drove a cart and walked for five or six days.
Although the woman slowed down, she did not stop. Instead, she continued to trot, tilting her head to look at both sides of the road from time to time.
I have to say that this woman can really run. Another hour passed and she still kept running. Although she was huffing and puffing from exhaustion, her breathing could be clearly heard by Zhao Chuan who was ten steps away behind her.
From the profile, this woman was very young. Zhao Chuan felt that she was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, a girl.
The girl tilted her head and looked at both sides of the road from time to time. Zhao Chuan naturally knew what she wanted to do.
"Don't look at it! This road is three hundred miles long. There is no town in the middle, and there are no homes on the roadside. This is a place where no one cares, it is a no man's land!"
Zhao Chuan guessed that she was looking for a place to stay and have a meal.
After hearing Zhao Chuan's words, the girl suddenly stopped.
Zhao Chuan didn't expect that she would be willing to stop. He stopped suddenly and almost bumped into someone's arms.
"Have you walked this road?" The girl's voice was cold, although her breath was unsteady due to exhaustion.
Zhao Chuan said of course he had passed by. He was heading to Nanmengcheng County.
The girl looked at Zhao Chuan with steady eyes, as if trying to decide whether he was right or wrong.
Seeing that the girl was doubting him, Zhao Chuan added, "Businessmen usually take this road. Since Jiangzhou City Pier opened a new waterway to Mengcheng, not many businessmen have left here!"
"Is there a waterway to Mengcheng?" The woman's voice was still emotionless.
"You can't get there directly by water. You can only go from Jiangzhou Wharf to Yangshan County, and then there is a road from Yangshan to Mengcheng." Zhao Chuan explained.
After listening to Zhao Chuan's words, the girl looked around for a while, probably thinking about something. Then she walked to the road and sat down on a big rock, took out her water bag and drank some water.
"Sister, shall I call you elder sister or younger sister?" Zhao Chuan smiled brightly and came forward in a flattering manner.
The girl frowned and said, "Didn't you call me a few times? And you still ask? Are you a pig?"
"..." Zhao Chuan was speechless, secretly thinking that you are really awesome and don't talk around people.
Zhao Chuan thought to himself that he was really unlucky. He was almost seventeen years old. Except for Han Yu'er, all other girls he met were not as gentle as his grandma.
The girl drank water slowly, taking small sips. It was very elegant. Zhao Chuan felt that it sounded good. This kind of drinking water was not something ordinary people could learn. It seemed that she was a person with a good background.
The girl caught a glimpse of Zhao Chuan staring at her, snorted and turned sideways, dissatisfied with Zhao Chuan staring at her like this.
Zhao Chuan also felt that he had lost his composure, but now if he didn't look at her, what else could he do?
I need to find something to do. It's indeed rude to look at people like this.
Zhao Chuan took out a piece of bread and ate it to kill his boredom.
After taking a few bites, Zhao Chuan felt his mouth was dry, and then he remembered that he didn't bring any water.
Zhao Chuan turned around and saw that the girl was still taking sips of water slowly and slowly. She had always been doing this.
Zhao Chuan looked at it for a while and said with a smile, "Sister, you are so awesome. You can feel full just by drinking water, without eating?"
The girl glared at Zhao Chuan, "What does it have to do with you?"
Zhao Chuan still smiled and said, "Can you teach me this skill? It's great that you don't have to eat to not feel hungry."
After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, he clearly heard a growl coming from the girl's belly, even though she was a little far away.
The girl was a little embarrassed. In order to cover up, she whispered, "I didn't bring anything to eat. Who knew there was no inn in this damn place..."
Zhao Chuan asked questions knowingly, but pretended to suddenly wake up and said, "That's it, then you can eat me!"
eat you? The girl's eyes widened.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly explained that he wanted to eat the noodles I brought, do you want it? Give you a piece and I'll take a sip of your water in exchange for it?
The girl looked at the cake in Zhao Chuan's heart, her throat moved, she pursed her lips and said, come and drink.
Zhao Chuan walked over, broke the pancake in half, put it into her hand and said that the pancake was too big and I couldn't eat it. Please help her.
The girl followed suit, then turned her head and began to eat.
A piece of bread brought the relationship between the two.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Chuan asked her where she was going in such a hurry.
The girl said she was going to Mengcheng.
Zhao Chuan said that I was also going to Mengcheng. We were going the same way, so let’s go together.
The girl nodded in agreement.
Zhao Chuan said what is your name?
The girl remained silent after hearing this and raised her head and pretended to look around. It was obvious that she didn't want to answer the question.
But after a long time, she saw that Zhao Chuan was still smiling and waiting for her to reply. She probably felt that it was not good not to say anything. After all, she ate other people's food, so she could only say weakly, "My name is Fei Hongjin."
Flying red scarf?
Zhao Chuan repeated the name back and forth in his mouth, feeling that the name was not unfamiliar, because he seemed to have heard this name many times in someone's mouth not long ago.
But where it was, and who was talking about it, Zhao Chuan couldn't remember it for a moment.
It could be seen that the other party also wanted to say something more, and Zhao Chuan also wanted to say something, but they didn't know where to start, and they were silent for a while.
Now that you have rested, you still have to go on your way. You can’t waste too much time because there are still two hundred miles to go.
