Chapter 344: Big City

Coming out of Moli Village, the four of them walked along the road pointed out by Sinliga.

After walking for half a day, the four of them had already crossed the entire lush rainforest and climbed over five mountains. From the mountains and forests along the way, they also saw two or three indigenous villages in the distance, but they were not large, by no means very large, as Sinliga said, and there were many places where people like them lived.

When the four of them walked out of a forest, the scene in front of them suddenly brightened, and a huge city appeared in front of them.

Looking at the big city in front of him, Hua Bushi almost couldn't believe his eyes!

What I saw on this island before, whether it was Moli Village by the sea, or the villages I passed along the way, without exception were extremely poor and backward indigenous tribes, exuding a quaint and wild atmosphere, and there was a certain gap with "civilization", but the castle in front of me was completely different.

The bluestone city wall is several feet high, the wide moat is hung with a drawbridge, and the big red lacquered city gate is lined with rows of fist-sized brass door nails, and there are two gate guards with spears on both sides of the gate. On top of the city wall, the corner tower, the arrow tower are also readily available, and behind the battlements at the top of the wall, you can also see soldiers patrolling back and forth. From the outside, this city is no different from the fortresses of Middle-earth.

Escaping from the hurricane, the four men were rescued after several days at sea, and they had long since lost their way. And the dragon whirlwind blew them out for hundreds or thousands of miles, and it was completely unknown where they were now.

Previously, Xinliga and the indigenous people of Yujian, whose language and customs were very different from those of Middle-earth, naturally thought that this island must be extremely far away from the land, and it was even likely that it was no longer in the realm of the Ming Dynasty, but in other countries.

But now seeing the city in front of them, everyone seems to have crossed time and space all of a sudden, and suddenly returned to the original familiar civilization Shijie, and since there is such a large city on the island, it is likely that the hurricane and sea tide actually blew them to the mainland, and this island may be located on the coast of Guangdong or Fujian.

If that were the case, it would be much easier to return to the mainland.

So for a while, the four of them were surprised and delighted, and even Cao Duyun, who had always been depressed and depressed, was also in good spirits.

When they reached the city gate, they saw that the words "Okura Castle" were engraved on the bluestone slab on the top of the gate, and the guards in front of the gate did not seem surprised by the four people dressed in indigenous linen clothes, but only squinted at them and ignored them.

Walking into the city gate, it is a bluestone avenue, the scene of the street market that is commonplace in the Jiangnan city-state is displayed in front of the eyes of the four people, and the door of an inn is opposite, and there is a gold-lettered signboard with the inscription "There are guests who come to the city".

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Panda Hotel" is the most luxurious inn in Okura Castle.

The attic is red bricks and blue tiles, and the eaves are carved with dragons and phoenixes, even in the towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are not many inns with such decoration. Xiao Qian'er led everyone to the backyard, knocked on the doors of the four upper rooms on the second floor, and let the four distinguished guests in.

Hai Hongzhu's room is in the innermost "ground" on the upper floor, the room is spacious and bright, a full set of blue and white wood furniture is very elegant, and the corner of the wood is still scented with sandalwood. Compared with the broken grass hut that Xinlijia lived in these days, there is a world of difference.

Although Xiao Qian'er was snobbish, her hands and feet were very quick, and she soon brought hot water and snacks.

In the morning, I set out from Moli Village, and I had been on the road for most of the day, and I had not eaten a single thing. At this time, Hai Hongzhu was already hungry, wiped her face a few times, and ate the two plates of dim sum sent by Xiao Qian'er.

Dim sum is a small muffin, wick cake and other famous spots in the south of the Yangtze River, the production is quite fine, sweet and delicious, although the sea red beads are not known, but they are also eaten with relish.

Since being rescued at sea, Xinlijia has only eaten fish porridge for three meals a day, and after many days, Hai Hongzhu can vomit when she sees animals swimming in the water, and now she finally has food that is not fish to eat, which is tantamount to the best delicacy in the world.

After all, it was not easy to rush for most of the day, so she climbed into bed and lay down, and she fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

Hai Hongzhu got out of bed, lit the candle on the table with a fire fold, and then sat down on the chair, but his eyes were staring at the candle flame in a daze.

What she was thinking in her heart was that the eldest young master Hua Bushi.

After experiencing this change of life and death, the mustard between her and Hua Bushi was finally relieved, and the evil young master who was once considered to be the enemy who killed her father also became the object she thought could be trusted.

Of course, it means that you can trust him only to ask for help when you are in danger, and if you want to measure it by "husband", this eldest young master seems to be far from the standard of Ruyi Langjun in her mind.

The ideal husband in Hai Hongzhu's heart should have been strong in martial arts, chivalrous and courageous, and he must be tall and handsome, so that she can rely on her, but no matter how you look at it, the young master of Huada does not meet it at all. It's a pity that she has married him, although until now, there is only the name of husband and wife between them, but who can say this kind of thing clearly, it is impossible for her to find another husband in her life.

After all, he had saved himself several times, especially this time when he came to the "Green Cantis" to save her regardless of the danger, which can be regarded as very brave, and he should always give him a little return.

This thought Hai Hongzhu had never thought of before, but now once it appeared in her heart, she couldn't help but blush, and even her heartbeat accelerated.

At this time, along with her heartbeat, there was a few knocks on the door. Hai Hongzhu stood up, walked over and opened the door, and the person standing outside the door was the "husband" Hua Bushi.

Nian Cao Cao Cao arrived, this eldest young master would really look for the opportunity, and it was so coincidental! Hai Hongzhu's pretty face turned even redder, and she threw down the doorknob without saying a word, and returned to the chair in front of the table and sat down.

Hua Bushi walked in, coughed lightly and said, "It turns out that the Hongzhu lady hasn't rested yet, so it's fine......"

He suddenly noticed Hai Hongzhu's cheeks full of red glow, and said in surprise: "Hey, why is your face so red, could it be that you have a cold and fever?"

As Hua Bushi spoke, he reached out and touched Hai Hongzhu's forehead.

Hai Hongzhu's martial arts are not good for others, but it is more than enough to deal with this young master, whether it is to grab his joints or dodge, it is very easy.

But she hesitated in her heart, neither dodged nor took the outstretched arm, just sat quietly on the chair and did not move, obediently letting Hua Bushi's palm touch her forehead.

Touching Hai Hongzhu's forehead, Hua Bushi didn't notice that the temperature was different, thought about it, and said, "Well, it doesn't seem to be a fever, it should be caused by restlessness." Don't be cranky, just calm your mind and you'll be fine. ”

With Hua Bushi's medical attainments, the diagnosis made can be said to be very accurate. However, he could only diagnose the appearance, but he didn't know why Hai Hongzhu was upset, and he just thought that she was mostly worried about her current situation.

Hai Hongzhu still sat at the table with a red face, secretly thinking in her heart that this evil young master was so cunning on weekdays, why was he as dull as a piece of wood at this time, and she didn't understand what she was thinking at all.

Seeing that Hua Bushi was also sitting down at the table, she suddenly stood up, picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of tea, and presented it to him with both hands.

In the days before getting married in Wuyang City, Hai Hongzhu was gentle with him in order to get close to the eldest young master, serving tea and water, and obeying him every way. But since she got married, she has always been very cold to Hua Bushi, she has never had a good face for him, and she still looks for opportunities to embarrass him from time to time, and now it is the first time she takes the initiative to pour tea for him.

She originally thought that offering him tea would make the eldest young master notice the change in her attitude, after all, there are some things that she can't say as a girl.

It's a pity that the eldest young master took the teacup and took a sip, then put it on the table casually, seemed to be completely unconscious, and said: "Since the lady hasn't rested yet, sit in this room for a while, wait for me for a while, and I'll go and invite Duyun Gongzi over." ”

Hai Hongzhu frowned and said, "What are you looking for him to do?"

Hua Bushi said: "In the afternoon, I chatted with the shopkeeper Sun for a long time, and I knew some details about this island, so I have to discuss the current situation with you, as well as my future plans, so I have to find Cao Gongzi together." ”

Hai Hongzhu was annoyed in her heart, pursed her mouth, and said angrily: "Okay, you just go to him!"

At this time, Hua Bushi realized that Hai Hongzhu's tone was a little wrong, but it was common for this Hongzhu lady to be willful and awkward, and it would not be normal if she was safe. I didn't care about it at the moment, stood up and went out.

After a while, Cao Duyun came to Hai Hongzhu's room, and Hua Bushi went to call Zhu Hong in. It's just that the young man is very weak and can't stand for a long time, so Hua Bushi let him sit on the wooden chair as well.

After the four of them were seated at the table, Hua Bushi spoke: "In the afternoon, I learned some news about this island and this city from the mouth of Shopkeeper Sun, so I invited Brother Cao to come, so that everyone can know our current situation. ”

Cao Duyun's expression was gloomy, indifferent, and Hai Hongzhu pouted, silent, Zhu Jiang is also an honest person, not good at talking, and silent.
