Chapter 214 was finally found

Now is the spring ploughing season north of the Yellow River, the army and farmers in the clouds have joined the ranks of cultivating wheat, sub-bags, grains and beans and so on.

Hu Qian looked at the scenes along the way and thought, it would be good if the family could live here. The next day I entered the mountains, and several families near the mountains, men and women held shovels and opened the land between the hills and slopes to plant crops. Later in the journey there were no more people.

After a day and a half of running, they saw a few leafless bushes below, and a bare weathered bluestone mountain above, blocking their view.

They took out the route map, found a faint way up the mountain according to the mark, rested for a while, added a small meal to the horses, led the horses, and meandered up the mountain along the bush path. The more you go on, the fainter the path looms, and when you get halfway there, there is no road ahead.

The three of them led the horses, looked up at the steep peaks above, and unfolded the route map to compare, yes, this is the road. Su Hai'er said, "I think let's go to the left and climb up more gently!" until the sun was about to set, and they climbed to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, it is indeed as Su Wu said, there is a road about five feet wide that no one has walked, and it is uneven. Facing the setting sun, they discerned the direction and walked along the top of the hill with their horses in tow.

Half an hour later, it was already dark. The cold sky seemed to be overhead, and immediately cold stars appeared in the clouds. They lit torches to light their way, and suddenly, a gloomy wind struck, and the torches were extinguished, and the wind swelled overhead.

The three of them led their horses to stand still to avoid the limelight, and after a long time the wind was small, they squatted on the ground and lit torches, got up and tied their cotton robes tightly, and led their horses to walk forward. I didn't take a few steps and the snow was scattered.

Kent held a torch in front of him to light the way, and the snow fell on the torch, and the fire crackled, shining like adding fuel to the fire.

Five torches have been replaced, and I'm afraid it has been nearly two hours. Hai'er thought about it, they walked much faster than so many of her father. He asked in a loud voice: "Brother Kent, I'm afraid it's almost time to go down the mountain!"

Kent stopped and looked at the road in front of him, there was no place to go down. They looked in front of them by the light of the torches, and saw a pile of stones on the side of the road not far away.

The three of them went to check and looked around, although there were stones, those stones were all randomly placed one by one, and this pile of stones was clearly deliberately carried and placed here, which was a reference......

They looked at it carefully, and studied it...... Suddenly, I found a road under the stone

Kent walked a few steps down with a torch and found that it was a trail going down, and came up and said, "This is a road down the mountain!"

After checking the road map under the torches, they walked along the top of the hill for a stretch of road that did not descend. They came back and led their horses down the path of the rocks. It was a short time before there was no snow.

They led the horses for a while, the road widened, turned over and ran down the mountain for nearly half an hour, and finally saw a place with lights. They happily rode their horses away.

They knocked on the door of the house with the lights on, and the white-haired and white-bearded old man who opened the door looked at the three people leading the horses, and said strangely and vigilantly: "Who are you? How can you get here?"

Su Hai'er hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Old man, don't worry, we are lost! I want to rest here with you tonight!"

Under bright torches. The old man looked at them dressed in Hanfu, not like gangsters, and thought about it: "Look at my house, I can't live in it!"

Kent took out two pieces of silver, handed them over, and said, "That's the case, we have been wandering around the mountains for two days and have not found our way back, so we want to have a hot meal at your place, and we will stay on the ground outside your house all night, and then find out the way tomorrow!"

The old man took the silver and let go of the door: "Please come in!"

When they entered, the old man pointed to the kang and said, "Rest for a while, and I'll boil water for you."

Take the food. ”

The old man added water to the iron pot next to the kang and lit a firewood to burn it. I also took a bowl of breaded grains and a few steamed steamed breads and wheat noodles.

Waiting for the water in the pot to boil, the old man thought about it and asked, "Where are you from?"

Hai'er said, "Go back to grandpa, come from the clouds." ”

"Oh—" the old man asked contemplatively, "do you know that twenty-seven or eight years ago, Su Wusu's envoy sent to Hudi?"

Su Hai'er smiled and asked, "Grandpa, do you know him?"

"He was a good man when he passed by us that year!" said the old man, putting a dry branch under the stove.

After a while, the water boiled, and the old man put the baogu Zhenzi into the pot and boiled it.

"I know him, he is still alive and well!" Su Hai'er asked the old man, "Grandpa, how old are you this year?"

"Four out of seventy!"

Hu Qian smiled: "Old man, people are rare after seventy years! You can live to be a hundred years old!"

"Borrow the good words of the young man!" said the old man, rubbing his beard with his hand.

Su Hai'er looked at the house and asked, "Grandpa, why are you alone in the house?"

"There are sons and daughters-in-law in the house, and grandchildren, and a large family from grandchildren. I don't think it's noisy, so I'll live in this old house by myself!" said the old man with a smile.

"Then we're going to make a noise about your old man tonight," Kent said politely.

"I like you young people from outside!"

"Thank you!" Hu Qian said sincerely.

"You're welcome!"

After the meal, when sleeping, although the hot kang in the house was relatively small, only two people slept, and the old man insisted on sleeping with them, Hai'er and the old man on the other, Kent and Hu Qian on the other. The old man also took out the clean quilt that his daughter-in-law had dismantled and washed and gave them to use.

Because the old man was reassured of them, he took them on a tour of the places where they lived the next day. Not to mention that this is really a good place, surrounded by tall mountains, in the middle of which are separated by two small streams, and there is a flat loess plateau that grows to more than two zhang high.

There are more than 10 families here, and they live in a sunny place on the edge of the plateau. They've taken a fancy to this place, but they have to ask this daddy about the situation. When they returned at noon, Kent and Hu Li volunteered to cook. Haier and the old man sat outside the door chatting.

The old man looked at Su Hai'er: "This young man, I think you are really familiar, but we haven't met?"

"Grandpa, haven't you seen Su Wusu's envoy?" Hai'er mischievously.

"Could it be that you are his son?" the old man was surprised.

"Yes, I'm his youngest son. It's my daddy, who told me to come and see you!" said Hai'er, "I don't know how happy he would be to know that you are in such good health!"

"Thanks to you!" said the old man happily, "that year, I said a few words to him, and I felt that he was a very open-minded person, and I began to gradually become an open-minded old man like him!"
