A soft snow, with a slight coolness, bids farewell to people traveling far away.
Those who should leave will eventually leave, but those who don’t want to leave will stand at the city gate and cry.
Song Ciwan sat on the carriage, listening to the sound of the rolling wheels, as well as the hundreds of thousands of people and conversations in the world.
"Brother, you go to the county town and I will stay in Suyang. Although we are separated, we are not separated by roots. We just have one more road. I will take care of my parents here..."
"Boss, you are cruel. If you have to leave, then go ahead. Old man, I am old, so I will stay in Suyang. This is my root!"
"Zhao Lang, I can't leave my parents behind. I will return this jade hosta to you. From now on, I wish you well..."
"..."
"Oh, let's go. If we don't go, we will waste time on our journey. We won't be able to reach the next city before dark!"
The Sitong Escort Bureau's convoy was at the front, hoisting the escort flag and leading the way.
What followed were first the wealthy families in the city, who were full of servants, guards and luggage - of course, most of these wealthy families were from the second echelon. The real top families from the first echelon had left as early as yesterday.
Situations like the Xu family's are actually rare.
Small households such as Aunt Jinhua's family walked at the back of the queue. As for those at the end, there were some families who didn't have any cars and could only walk on their legs.
There are actually the most people like this, and in this regard, people from Sitong Escort Agency said:
"Anyone who can keep up should follow. If you can't keep up, don't blame our escort agency for not waiting for others. Our chief escort is willing to lead the way. This is his kindness and justice. If there is anyone who is holding back or causing trouble, you can Just go your own way and don't disturb everyone's way forward, do you understand?"
Some people responded with noisy responses, while others responded with flattering words.
But no one noticed that at the very back of the team, a group of three people quietly followed them.
There was an older woman, a beautiful girl, and another who was exceptionally short, only three feet tall. They were all wrapped in a tightly covered black cloak, holding a strange-looking stick in their hands. The stick followed the girl step by step, seeming to be guarding and also following.
The girl called him "Ah Guai".
When leaving the city gate, the girl staggered, and Ah Guai immediately rushed forward to help her.
Although Aguai is short in stature, he is very strong and can hold the girl steady. The three of them left the city smoothly and followed the team from Sitong Escort Bureau.
The advantage of having an escort to lead the way is that no one needs to worry about side roads along the way.
The escorts are living maps and have rich experience. They know which way is the most convenient and which way is the safest.
They also have a principle, which is to go around mountains and rivers and cross bridges.
In short, I will never take the mountain road or go through the water by boat.
Song Ciwan followed the team silently, feeling that he had learned a lot.
When we took a break for lunch, the fine snow had already stopped, and the escorts chose an open area by the river.
Before setting up camp, three sticks of incense should be offered by the river, and three cooked animals should be thrown into the river. After worshiping, everyone is allowed to bury pots and make rice.
Of course, not many people actually light a fire to cook.
It's winter now, the food can withstand storage, and everyone has just left the city, so basically they have enough dry food. Most people don't want to go through too much trouble if it's not necessary.
Aunt Jinhua didn't want to bother, so she took out the cooking cakes from the carriage and distributed them to Yu Lin and Achan, and also to Song Ciwan.
Song Ciwan did not refuse, but after taking the cakes, she immediately took out four cooked eggs from her basket and distributed them to Aunt Jinhua and her family.
Aunt Jinhua's melancholy face suddenly showed an angry smile: "What's wrong with you girl? Are you afraid that if you eat one more of my cakes, my aunt will sell you later?"
Song Ciwan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, aunt can't sell me, I have Dabai to protect me!"
The big white goose was next to Song Ciwan, raising its head and making a "quacking" sound. While barking, its chest was still rising high. After completing this action, it lowered its head and stretched out its powerful beak to poke at the grass leaves on the ground to eat.
After eating a few mouthfuls, a small insect suddenly jumped out of the grass.
The big white goose opened its mouth and caught the small insect. Then the goose's beak opened and closed, and the small insect was swallowed into its mouth and into its belly.
This lively appearance attracted a lot of attention for a while.
Aunt Jinhua said very curiously: "You really raised this white goose well. It's not in vain that you still carry it when you go out of the city."
Achan also looked at the big white goose with shy and curious eyes. One hand moved around her side, as if she wanted to touch the goose, but she was too shy to get close.
But Song Ciwan's heart moved slightly at this moment. She discovered that the big white goose loved to eat insects!
Before, she raised the big white goose at home and fed it with whole grains. Later, Fairy Chihua reminded her that she could feed the big white goose meat. At first, she only fed some cooked fish meat to the big white goose, but she never thought about feeding it. insect.
After all, she was inexperienced and ignored the nature of birds.
Goose is not a pure vegetarian animal. It eats fish and insects!
However, Song Ciwan's Five Poison Jars contained so many insects that they were simply countless.
Isn't this just the reserve grain store for the big white goose?
With a thought, Song Ciwan immediately took out a small insect with the weakest breath from the Five Poison Jar, and quietly released it from his side under the cover of the short grass on the ground.
This little bug was so scarred from being killed by other bugs in the Five Poison Jar that it jumped as soon as it came to the outside world.
Song Ciwan's Qi Absorption Technique was at hand, ready to catch the little bug at any time, but the moment the bug jumped, the big white goose flapped its wings, stretched out its head, and caught the bug very quickly.
"Quack!" The little insect entered the belly, and the big white goose suddenly became excited.
It seemed to like the taste of this little bug very much. After eating one, it immediately flapped its wings and was so excited that it was spinning.
Song Ciwan did not disappoint him, and released five more bugs one after another. Seeing that the big white goose was eating one by one, and every time he moved his mouth, he was sure to catch the bugs accurately, so he immediately rewarded it with a bowl of soybean meal.
Little did you know that the big white goose didn't even like soybean meal after eating the worms.
It took a mouthful of soybean meal and looked around, as if it was still thinking about the insect just now!
But Song Ciwan was not going to feed it anymore. The bugs in the Xu family garden were particularly ferocious. Even if they were to be used to promote the transformation of the big white goose, they should do so step by step and not be impatient.
The carriage continued to move in the afternoon, and the atmosphere of the convoy was much more relaxed than before.
People chatted and chatted before and after, until the carriage moved forward and passed a mountain in the evening.
The escorts shouted from the front: "Ahead is Hanqiu Mountain. Everyone remember to follow the team and go all the way forward. You are not allowed to look back or talk. You are not allowed to pay attention to anyone who calls. You must not enter the mountain. In short, you must rush through the mountain in one breath." The road under your feet. If you rush through this road, not far ahead is Huailing City, do you understand?"
"Don't answer even if you understand! Don't nod, just let everyone know."
"Okay, from now on, no one is talking, let's go!"
The escort flag led the way in front, and the motorcade rolled past, but the sky in front suddenly darkened.
