After returning to Weinan County, Tian Zhutou and those catchers went back to the county office, while Zhou Xiaotian went back to the Laishui Inn to rest.

After a night, the next day dawned, Li Maicheng gradually woke up, he saw that Bai Ruoxue lying in his arms was sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb her, but hugged her and slept for a while.

After sleeping for a while, Su Chengxuan came to knock on the door, and he said outside the door: "Senior brother, sister-in-law, it's time to get up, get up and eat together." ”

Li Maicheng replied: "Chengxuan, okay, I know, you eat first, let's get up." ”

Then Li Maicheng got up and got dressed, at this time Bai Ruoxue was still in a daze, Li Maicheng touched Bai Ruoxue**'s body, and said, "Ruoxue, it's time to get up." ”

At this time, Bai Ruoxue opened her eyes and said, "Maicheng, help me get dressed." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, little princess." ”

Then Li Maicheng helped Bai Ruoxue put on her belly pocket, and after she was dressed, she helped her get dressed, and after she was dressed, Bai Ruoxue rubbed her eyes, washed her face, and then wiped her rouge.

Then they went downstairs and went to the first floor of the inn for breakfast. At this time, Zhang Qian, Chen Chen and the soldiers of the mission, they had already begun to eat at this time.

Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue sat down, also eating pancakes and drinking porridge, Li Maicheng said: "Master, the thieves in that city have been killed, and those silver taels and lost medicinal materials have been recovered. ”

Zhang Qian said: "Okay, then we can set off today and continue westward." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, now that the thieves in this city have been removed, we can continue to travel west with confidence." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Okay, Maicheng." ”

At this time, the orange cat Chenchen said: "Brother Maicheng, I really don't want you to go, you can play in this city for a few more days." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Chenchen, no, we still have important things to do, we can't stay here for too long, we have to continue to travel west to find the Yue Clan." ”

Chenchen said: "That's good, then you have to be careful." ”

At this time, Jin Xiqing, who was sitting next to Chenchen, touched the cute face of the orange cat and said, "Chenchen, be good, live well in this Weinan County in the future, and we will miss you in the future." ”

Chen Chen said: "Okay, Sister Xiqing, you also have to take care, this journey to the west is full of ups and downs, you will encounter a lot of demons and monsters, you have to be careful everywhere." ”

Jin Xiqing said: "Okay, Chenchen, I know." ”

Then they ate the breakfast, and after they were full, Li Maicheng and the others prepared their horses, packed their bags, and were about to leave, when Tian Zhutou came.

Tian Zhutou said to Maicheng: "Brother Maicheng, are you leaving?"

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Tian Zhutou, did you go well last night?"

Tian Zhutou said: "It's very smooth, those treasures and medicinal materials have been chased over, and those big officials have already come to the county government to claim their lost property." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Tian Zhutou, I see that the price of medicinal materials in this county is very expensive." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "This time, a lot of medicinal materials will be recovered from the Demon Pavilion, they will flow into the market, and the prices of those medicinal materials will slowly fall back in the future, and the Swift Wind Dart Bureau will transport more medicinal materials in the future, and the prices of medicinal materials in the city will gradually become normal." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I know." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Yes, thanks to you, I thank you for the people of Weinan County, and they will be able to afford to be sick in the future." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Tian Zhutou, you're polite, I don't think it's too early this day, we should go on the road." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, then you will take care of yourself in the future, and there will be one later."

Time limit. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Tian Zhutou, there will be a period later." ”

Then Li Maicheng hugged Tian Zhutou, and also hugged the orange cat Chenchen, and touched his cute face, and said, "Chenchen, goodbye." ”

Chen Chen reluctantly said: "Brother Maicheng, goodbye, there will be a period later." ”

Then Li Maicheng, Zhang Qian, and the soldiers of the mission left the Laishui Inn on horseback and continued westward. And Tian Zhutou and Chen Chen waved goodbye to them reluctantly.

Gradually, Li Maicheng and the others left Weinan County on horseback and continued westward. As they walked along the mountain road, the leaves of the trees on either side of the trees were already yellow.

They climbed over mountains, waded through rivers, walked through fields, and finally came to a mountain forest, only to see that there were many maple trees in the mountain forest, and the maple forest was fiery red, which was particularly beautiful.

Bai Ruoxue saw the endless fiery red maple forest in front of her, and she said in amazement: "Wow, it's so beautiful, it's like a fairyland." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Ruoxue, the scenery here is really beautiful, the scenery is charming, and the maple forest is really beautiful." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Yes, it's so beautiful." ”

At this time, Zhang Qian said: "Maicheng, the sun is about to set." Find a place and let's spend the night. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Master, then Ruoxue and I, fly ahead and take a look." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Okay, Maicheng, you two go, be careful." ”

Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Master." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue flew away. They flew in the fiery red maple forest, and the maple leaves were scattered, and after flying for a while, they saw several small earthen houses in the forest, and the chimneys on the earthen houses were smoking.

The two of them immediately stopped here, Li Maicheng walked over, knocked on the door, knocked a few times, and after a while, the door opened, and an old man opened the door and saw Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue.

The old man said, "Two donors, what is the matter?"

Li Maicheng said: "Old uncle, we passed by this maple forest and wanted to spend the night with you, is it okay?"

The old man looked at them carefully and said, "Okay, but I need to pay for two." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Old uncle, no problem, we have a bit of a lot, there are twenty people, is it okay?"

The old man said, "Okay, I'll charge you five taels of silver, and you can stay here for a few days." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, thank you, uncle." ”

Then Li Maicheng took out five taels of silver from his body and gave it to the old man. He said, "Old uncle, then we will go back and call our brothers." ”

The old man said, "Okay, I'll go get you some food." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue left, walked a distance, and then flew up to pick up Master Zhang Qian and them.

They flew for a while, and when they saw Master Zhang Qian and them walking on the mountain road, they flew down, stopped there, and then got on their horses again.

Li Maicheng said to Master Zhang Qian, "Master, I'm back, I've found a place to stay. ”

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, you two have worked hard." ”

Li Maicheng said: "It's nothing, then everyone hurry up and rush to the earthen house in front of it, I see that the sun is about to set." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Yes, it's getting dark this day, let's go faster." ”

Then they rode forward on horseback, and walked through the fiery red maple forest, and after walking for a while, they came to the old man's house.

When they came to the old man's house, they dismounted one by one and tied the horses there

next to the maple tree.

After tying up the horses, they all entered the earthen hut one by one, and while the old man was cooking, he said to Li Maicheng: "Donors, you all sit down, there is water there, drink it, pour it yourself." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Thank you, uncle, by the way, my name is Li Maicheng, thank you for letting us stay here." ”

The old man said: "Maicheng, my name is Hao Yeli, you all sit casually and drink water." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, thank you Uncle Hao." ”

At this time, Jin Xiqing and Bai Ruoxue went to help cook, and Li Maicheng went to help light the fire.

Li Maicheng said while burning the fire: "Uncle Hao, are you the only one living in this house?"

Uncle Hao replied, "Yes, I live alone, but I also have a son, who lives in a town in front of me, and my wife lives there to help take care of the children." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Uncle Hao, what is the name of the town?"

Uncle Hao replied: "That town is called Fengqiao Town, and it is only five miles away from here. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I know." ”

Uncle Hao sighed: "Hey, the maple forest here is not peaceful. Almost no one came to stay here. ”

Li Maicheng was surprised: "Why?"

Uncle Hao sighed: "Hey, there are monsters." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”

Uncle Hao said: "Maicheng, I see that there are monsters among you, the one that looks like a koi, the one that looks like an ape, the one that looks like a rhinoceros, and the one with horns on the head, which makes people very scared." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Uncle Hao, don't worry, they are very kind-hearted and will not kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

Uncle Hao said, "Okay then. They must be very good at kung fu. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, old uncle, they can soar through the clouds, and they are very good at fists and feet." ”

Uncle Hao said while stir-frying, "Okay then. ”

At this time, Li Maicheng asked, "Uncle Hao, do you know what kind of monster this maple forest monster is?"

Uncle Hao sighed: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard that many people who came here from Maple Bridge Town to see the maple leaves are missing." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then why didn't you live here and be disturbed by that monster?"

Uncle Hao replied: "Maybe I'm old, don't monsters generally like to hunt for young adults?"

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, those monsters generally catch those young adults and suck their blood to increase their skills and cultivation. ”

Uncle Hao said, "Okay then. ”

Uncle Hao stir-fried the vegetables like that, stir-fried for a while, and after frying several plates of dishes, he fried them, and then cooked some noodles in the pot.

Then Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, and Jin Xiqing brought the dishes to the dinner table, and the twenty-one of them sat at two tables, they ate the country dishes and drank wine.

Li Maicheng said while eating the dishes: "Thank you Uncle Hao, for staying here for staying here and cooking such a good dish for us." ”

Uncle Hao said: "Maicheng, you have won the award, I am just some coarse tea and light rice, and I am afraid that you will not be used to it." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Uncle Hao, your meal is very good. We've long been accustomed to sleeping in the open, and this meal is just what we like. ”

Uncle Hao said, "Okay, you can eat happily." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Uncle Hao." ”

They ate with relish, drank a little wine, and when they were full, they fell asleep one by one.
