Chapter 146: Fight to the Death
Following the bluestone path in the town, the three of them marched in the direction of the west gate of the town, and when they were not far from the west gate, the three of them saw a large number of townspeople gathered at the west gate, Ye Xianglun unconsciously asked: "Why are these townspeople gathered here?"
"Of course, I'm here to bid farewell to our family Xiao Qian, after all, Xiao Qian is the only piano player in our town, and he is likely to become a famous pianist one day, of course the big guy is coming to say goodbye!" Tao Yi replied, his tone naturally revealed pride and pride.
"Tao Qian is far away from his hometown, didn't the second elder stop him?" Hearing Tao Yi's tone, Ye Xianglun asked with some curiosity.
"Why stop it? Xiao Qian can get out of the town, my father and mother couldn't close their mouths last night!" Tao Yi seemed to answer an extremely absurd question, and then, her face showed a naughty look, "My mother also secretly told the neighbors, but I didn't expect the whole town to know about it this morning!"
After Ye Xianglun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the second elder didn't dislike him for abducting his son, everything would be easy to say. Thinking of this, Ye Xianglun rode forward with confidence.
"Mr. Ye, you two are finally here, Tao Qian has been waiting here for a long time!" Seeing Ye Xianglun and the others coming, Tao Qian walked up to the two of them in high spirits to greet them.
"Ye Chen and I have been waiting for a long time at the stone square at the south gate of the town, if it weren't for Miss Tao Yi to greet us, I'm afraid we would have already left the town at this moment!" Ye Xianglun said with some embarrassment.
"Fortunately, my sister has many hearts, otherwise, Tao Qian would have to live up to Mr. Ye's hard work!" Tao Qian patted his head after hearing this, and said with some joy.
"Mr. Ye......"
While the two were talking, an elderly man pushed aside the crowd and walked up to Ye Xianglun with a clear spirit, followed by a woman behind the old man, Ye Xianglun recognized the two, and these two were Tao Qian's parents.
"Uncle and aunt, it's really ashamed to let the second elder go out of town to see him off!" Seeing this, Ye Xianglun hurriedly stepped forward and held the rough hands of the second elder and said.
"Xiao Qian, please leave it to you!" After speaking, the old man was excited to kneel, and Ye Xianglun hurriedly stopped the second elder.
"Second elder, rest assured, as long as Ye is here, he will never let anything happen to Brother Tao Qianxian!" Ye Xianglun said with relief.
"My Xiaoqian is really blessed, I can worship a master like Mr. Ye, we don't have to worry about it in this life!" The uncle pulled Ye Xianglun to the side while speaking, and pointed to a pile of things not far away, "There are nothing valuable in the town, the neighbors originally sent a lot of things to Mr. Ye, because Mr. Ye is far away, the old man refused one by one for Mr. Ye, these are the things of the old man's own family, if you encounter a wild place along the way, you can take it out for a while." β
Ye Xianglun glanced at a pile of things on the ground, and saw that there were a few live chickens and some bacon and eggs, all of which had been packed in cages and bamboo baskets, and a carriage was tied next to the things to pull the accompanying things.
"Let the second old man bother!" Looking at the old man's thoughts, Ye Xianglun couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to accept it all.
After a pleasantry, the three finally set foot on the road to leave the town. Looking at the group of villagers behind him who saw him, Tao Qian couldn't help but shed tears of parting.
The wheels of the carriage turned and turned, the wheels collided with the potholes of the country road, making a creaking sound, and on the road, Tao Qian drove the carriage, and Ye Xianglun and Ye Chen each rode a horse, leading the way on its left and right.
"Mr. Ye, you are all traveling lightly, is it a bit of a drag on everyone's rhythm when I walk like this?" Seeing the two Ye Xianglun and the two of them wandering unhurriedly in front, Tao Qian frowned and said.
"Don't panic, we don't rush to go, let's just take it as an experience before the trip! The most important thing, the most important thing, we can also taste Ye Chen's cooking skills these days!" Ye Xianglun looked back on the horse and smiled.
"It's really two foodies, let's talk about it first, I can't make any quality out of this kind of rural ingredients!" Ye Chen saw that after the two talked about food, he showed a similar look of greed, and hurriedly replied.
The carriage and horses moved forward slowly, and soon at noon, at the end of the potholed path, a bright blue line appeared, as if it was a small river, blocking the way of the trail, Ye Chen rode forward and asked unconsciously: "Isn't the green avenue in front of you the official road?"
"What, let me see!"
After hearing the official road, Tao Qian, who was sitting in the carriage, immediately came to his senses, the bumps in the country road had made him almost vomit out his morning meal, and after getting on the official road, the road ahead was flat.
"Scared, it's really an official road, go south along this official road, and you can get out of Deng Kingdom!" Looking at the official road that was getting closer and closer in front of him, Tao Qian stood on the carriage and jumped up happily.
"Huh...... Uh......"
After a scream, Tao Qian, who was overjoyed, accidentally fell off the carriage, and after the horse panicked, he galloped forward, leaving Tao Qian far behind.
"Stop, stop......"
After the carriage, Tao Qian kept beating the whip with the whip, but after the carriage heard the whip, it ran faster and faster.
"Hahahahaha-"
Seeing this, Ye Xianglun and the others laughed and galloped.
......
The three of them finally walked onto the official road, Tao Qian finally caught up with the carriage while panting, and after stepping on the official road, the speed of the three of them was significantly faster.
Due to the wealth of Deng Guo, the whole length of this official road is paved with bluestone, and the road is wide enough to be two zhang parallel to the congestion of the four carriages, so the three of them can walk side by side all the way.
"Mr. Ye, when can we have lunch?"
Tao Qian drove the carriage to catch up with Ye Xianglun and the others, at this time, the sky had already turned into the afternoon, and he was already a little hungry, so he asked unconsciously.
"Are you hungry already? Okay, let's eat on the spot!" Ye Xianglun looked at the sky unconsciously, and found that it was not too early, so he immediately ordered the two to stop along the side of the official road.
Since the official road is far away from the population separation area, there is only a post station for carriages to rest every hundred miles, so there is no problem for the three of them to temporarily set up a stove next to the official road.
The three of them did what they said, and under Ye Chen's command, the three of them created a delicious meal in a short time. As Ye Chen said, without good ingredients and seasonings, Ye Chen's cooking skills are only the level of ordinary farmhouse stoves, even so, it is already very good to be able to eat in the wilderness.
The three of them walked forward like this, after driving on this official road for half a month, the food carried by the carriage had bottomed out, and similarly, the three of them were less than a day's journey from the southernmost city of Deng Kingdom, Ye Xianglun probably calculated, although they were not traveling fast, but they did not stop all the way, through Deng Guo, if they used the note disc to hurry, it would take at least three days, so calculated, it would take at least two months to reach Danyang, although Ye Xianglun was not in a hurry, but he was still a little reluctant to waste time on the road in vainγ
"No matter, after leaving Deng Kingdom, you must find an opportunity to rush with the note disc!" Ye Xianglun finally made such a decision.
