Zhao Bo walked in front with a few soldiers, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and carefully advanced to the small village on the edge of the official road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The village was quiet, with a dozen dilapidated mud houses in a haphazard mess, sparsely laid together, separated by a cross-shaped aisle. Form a simple street.

The sound of Zhao Bo's crowd was extremely clear in this small village.

"Is anyone there?" Zhao Bo walked to the entrance of the village and shouted inside.

The sound echoed inside, and no movement was heard halfway.

"Is anyone there?" he called again.

The village was still quiet.

The soldiers who came with him also frowned a little, dispersed according to his gestures, and quietly entered the village to check.

The inspection of each house, the slow walking of each house.

Smack.

A soldier accidentally touched a stone grinding handle for grinding noodles, and the wooden handle broke and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, several lines of sight hurriedly looked over here, and Zhao Bo took a few steps and walked to the stone mill to take a closer look.

He reached out and touched the broken handle, and some fine pieces of yellow-brown wood powder were suddenly stained on his fingers.

"This village has been around for some years, who of you have been here before? This place is close to the official road, so there should be passers-by from time to time. ”

All the soldiers who gathered shook their heads, and they all shook their heads when they looked at me, and I looked at you.

"I've heard my dad mention that he went to Yanshan City when he was young, and spent the night in a village on the way, and I don't know if it's here. A stout soldier said in a rough voice.

"Your father is sixty years old now, wasn't it decades ago when he was young?" said the other soldier, speechless.

"It was more than thirty years ago. It's been so long now, and it's useless. The strong soldier replied with a smile.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone in the village. Uncle Zhao straightened up and looked left and right, "You go and check it again, if there is no abnormality, you can stay here for a while." ”

In recent years, due to various accidents, the entire village has been relocated or fled to the sea. Empty villages are not uncommon.

In many cases, an epidemic can lead to the complete relocation and destruction of a village.

"Yes!"

A group of people split up and started to check around. They swept all the eighteen earthen houses in the village, and half of them were broken, and the roof either had big holes or dangerous walls.

Uncle Zhao led people to clean up the remaining earthen houses, and then sent people back to inform Lu Quan'an who was waiting on the road.

Lu Quan'an also took a group of family members and drove cattle and horses into this small village slowly.

"There are a few larger earthen houses, let's look for them, assign them, and we will rest for the night and leave tomorrow. The rest of the vigil was arranged. Lu Quan'an commanded everyone and began to put down their things and set up camp.

This mud house alone is naturally not enough to live in. The main ones who need to be resettled are women and children, and the northland is not more than other places, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge, and it is cold at night, and even frozen. One carelessly has a wind chill that is easy.

"There is a well in the middle of the village where you can go and fetch water. There is a forest on the side, and I will take people to pick up some dead branches. Also, check to see if there are any game mushrooms nearby, don't go far and pay attention to safety. ”

Lu Quan'an had also traveled from south to north before, so he naturally had relevant experience, and soon arranged dozens of people from all sizes in the Lu family.

"Send someone to hurry up and report the news along the mountain city, and they said that the axle of the road is broken halfway, so the road should be slower, and it will be a few days late. Lu Quanan called a soldier and ordered.

"Got it, sir. "These soldiers are all city guards arranged by Lu Anping, and this trip to work was assigned by the boss, plus the Lu family is not thin on them, and each person can earn five taels of silver on such a trip. It's already equivalent to two months' worth of their profits. If you run an extra trip like this, you can get some extra reward, so naturally there is no dissatisfaction.

The soldier turned on his horse, took enough food and drink, and galloped away in the direction of the mountain castle.

At this time, a bonfire had been lit in the village, and a large pot of soup was ready to be boiled.

Lu Chenxin got out of the carriage and moved his body, he was originally going to go out to study with Lu Yiyi, but with his lazy temperament, where could he endure the bitter cold life in the college, he tried every means to find a reason to pretend to be sick, and finally he didn't make it, missed the departure time, and in the end, only Lu Yiyi went to Xichuan Mansion.

"Hehe, the mountain city is much more prosperous, what is more interesting than Xichuan Mansion? Brother Sheng must be having a good time over there, I heard that there are a lot of red boats over there, and there will definitely be something to play when the time comes." Lu Chen's heart fluttered, and he looked around left and right.

He was in a carriage with Zhang Xiuxiu, a distant relative of the eldest lady, and Lu Tianyang was with him, and the car was a little crowded.

However, Zhang Xiuxiu was born with a foxy face, a soft body, and an excellent feel, but he had a very comfortable life along the way.

Zhang Xiuxiu is a distant relative of Lu Sheng's grandfather's family, and actually has no blood relationship with him Lu Chenxin.

It's just that her father can't mix well, so she went to the Lu family, which has a big business, and eats in the house.

Zhang Xiuxiu was born to her father who didn't know what woman she was born with, and it was rumored that she was a woman in the Qinglou, but she was only raised by her father when she brought it back.

This girl has grown up and has a very open temperament, because she was born beautiful, she always hooks up with three and four, and Lu Jia Lu Tianyang, as well as Sun Bajun before, are also a little unclear.

Now that the rest of the people are gone, Lu Chenxin has finally tasted the taste of meat that he has never eaten before, and he is naturally in a good mood.

He got out of the carriage, and Lu Tianyang on the other side also got out of the other car.

The two looked at each other and hurried together.

"How's it going?"

"Not bad, it's much more active than Yuelan, and the taste is strong enough. Lu Chenxin smiled and said in a low voice.

"A room at night?" Lu Tianyang was born to Lu Quanan's fourth concubine, and he was also a famous son-in-law in the Lu Mansion.

"It's a pity that the eight horses...."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's heart was also a little sad, "There is prosperity along the mountain city, if Brother Bajun is here, I don't know how happy I am. ”

"Don't talk about this, what about Jiaoyan? Did you see her?" Lu Tianyang recently became obsessed with a little maid at home.

"I'm helping to sort things out, daddy's car, do you dare to go?" Lu Chenxin pointed in the direction.

Lu Tianyang suddenly stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to answer.

********************

Along the mountain city sluice.

The large area of gray and white bungalows along the mountain city is as layered as fish scales, and is divided into two pieces continuously, with the pale red pine and cypress river in the middle, dividing the urban area into two.

Lu Sheng and Chen Yunxi stood on the stone arch bridge in front of the sluice, watching the weeping willows by the river swaying in the wind, and the two did not speak for a while.

After being silent for a while, Lu Sheng saw that the long-legged girl paper in front of him had not reacted, so he smiled.

"I haven't been to this place yet, the air is nice and the view is good. How did you come up with the idea of coming here for a walk?"

Chen Yunxi looked at the sluice gate that continued to flow out of the water, and several water belts of white flowers, like white silk, were continuous, rattling, and flowed into the Songbai River.

"The third renovation of this sluice gate was still my father's money, and a lot of manpower and material resources were used at that time, and the first time the water was repaired and released, I came to see it, and I was really excited at that time.

Seeing that the turbid torrent and rainstorm formed the water flow, after being precipitated and filtered by this clear sluice, it became a clean and clear river water, that kind of shock.... You don't understand. ”

"Well, I've seen it before. Lu Sheng touched his bald head, wondering why he hadn't grown his hair for so long.

"Brother Sheng, you say, do you really dislike me? Chen Yunxi turned around and looked at Lu Sheng with a somewhat pale face.

"You are so beautiful, knowledgeable, and well-off, who can dislike you?" Lu Sheng shook his head and said, "I just don't want to settle down so early." ”

He knows that his future path is destined to constantly deal with ghosts, and his character determines that he has a dark blue modifier, and it is impossible for him to be willing to do nothing for a lifetime.

And this kind of life is destined to be unacceptable to Chen Yunxi. All she wants is to find a lover, live a good life, have children, inherit the family business, or gain fame.

And these are not what Lu Sheng wants.

Since you can't give people a future, don't let people have hope, and don't delay others.

Lu Sheng knew very well in his heart, so after the sacrifice, he didn't hide from Chen Yunxi, who was close, and came here with her.

"I know you're different from us. Chen Yunxi lowered his head, and his voice became smaller. "My father also advised me, don't be too persistent, from the changes in Brother Sheng, I can also guess what kind of life you lived before. ”

"Then you are still there?" Lu Sheng asked helplessly.

"However, I only feel safe when I'm with you...."Chen Yunxi took a step forward and approached Lu Sheng gently.

She wore a light long-sleeved white shirt with a wide cream-white tulle and a pink bandeau underneath. The legs are white ruffle skirts with bows tied with ropes from the right side. The skirt only reaches the knees, highlighting the slender and perfect white legs.

"You...."Lu Sheng looked at Chen Yunxi who was approaching, slightly stunned, even in the extremely open Northland, there are few women who are so close to a single man.

"I like you. Brother Katsu. Chen Yunxi looked at Lu Sheng with beautiful eyes and looked at his eyes.

"Even if you don't have eyebrows, even if you become bald, even if you have more and more muscles, I still like you. ”

Lu Sheng felt weird, and always felt that something was wrong.

"So. Chen Yunxi took a step further, and his chest just touched Lu Sheng's chest.

"Marry me. ”

Syllable.

A delicate jewelry box, which Chen Yunxi didn't know where to take it out, opened it gently, and there was a white jade wrench quietly placed inside, with a phoenix about to fly carved on it.

"........" Lu Sheng's heart instantly fell.

Countless similar pictures kept flying in his mind, but those pictures were all men proposing to women, and what he didn't expect was that Chen Yunxi, such a big beauty, actually took the initiative to come to this part and specially customized such a delicate white jade wrench to ask him for marriage.

Helpless, Lu Sheng calmed down.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you the life you want. He gently closed the jewelry box and pushed it back.
