After his mind was firm, he went to the mountains to dig a lot of wild vegetables, replaced the remaining three copper plates with three large cakes, and at dawn, he quietly walked out of the village with the package on his back.

The village where he is located is called "Mao'er Village", which is a remote village in the north-central part of the town, and "Luohu City", Chen Xin heard his grandfather say it when he was a child.

At that time, their grandfather and grandson were in the small town near the village to catch the market, and the grandfather would always look at the south with nostalgia, and said to Chen Xin as a child: "Ah Xin, from here all the way to the south, passing through three cities, seven towns, there is a place called Luohu City, where there are many ....... ”

Chen Xin looked at his grandfather with a puzzled expression, but since then, whenever he talks about Luohu City, no matter how Chen Xin asks, his grandfather will never say a word more, and the matter will be over.

And now, Chen Xin is standing where he and his grandfather came when he was a child, but things have long been different, he grabbed the package on his chest, and walked towards the south firmly.

This walk was a full three months, and all the wild vegetables and dry food on my body had been eaten ten days ago. When he passed by the mountains, he dug up some wild vegetables, and when he passed by the stream, he caught a small fish.

Until there were no mountains and no streams, in the past three months, the farther south he went, the more prosperous the places he passed, and the patched clothes on Chen Xin's body had long been torn into strips of cloth, which could only cover his body and could not keep warm from the cold.

The cloth shoes were replaced by straw sandals made by himself, and even then, seven or eight pairs were rotten, and he had not eaten for several days, and his young eyes were black from hunger, and he was supported only by a wooden stick.

Finally, in three months, he walked to Luohu City, and when he looked at the majestic and simple city wall and the big characters on the plaque of the city gate, he finally couldn't walk anymore, leaned against the city wall, shrunk his little body and fell asleep.

The cold raindrops fell on Chen Xin's face, and he slowly woke up, at this time, it was already past midnight, and the gate of Luohu City had not been closed.

On the contrary, there are many carriages in and out, and the people who enter and exit at this time, although there are not as many as in the daytime, there are also half of the day, it is conceivable that this Luohu City must be extremely prosperous.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the south has always been hot, but this rain is extremely cold, and the temperature between heaven and earth has become colder for twelve minutes in the kung fu of a stick of incense, which makes Chen Xin feel like a cold winter wax moon.

Chen Xin, who had just woken up, shrunk into a ball in this cold and biting rain, shivering, the outside of the city was empty, and the city gate was only two hundred meters away from him, Chen Xin looked at the city gate weakly, such a short distance, his body was cold and hungry, and he had no strength to move half a step.

Chen Xin felt dizzy, so he could only grit his teeth, waiting for the rainstorm to pass, just when he was about to pass out, a muffled sound came, and a fist-sized white cloth pocket was smashed in front of him.

Looking up, there was a girl riding a white horse at the city gate, looking at him coldly, the girl was wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, about fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a short red whip in her hand, exuding a fierce momentum. Chen Xin felt that he was dazzled by hunger, and the heavy rain fell on the girl's body, without wetting the girl's clothes and hair at all, and the girl lined with a sense of mystery.

Chen Xin retracted his gaze and picked up the cloth pocket on the ground, the girl turned her head and whipped when she saw it, and rode into the city, which turned out to be a small bottle of wine and a palm-sized piece of beef jerky.

Chen Xin had a glimmer of hope in his heart, held the cloth pocket firmly in his arms, and looked deeply at the place where the girl disappeared. After a long time, he opened the cloth pocket, the weather was cold, Chen Xin's fingers trembled and opened the wine stopper, raised his head and poured a few sips of wine, a bitter and spicy taste spread in his throat, he coughed violently, a few sips of liquor turned into heat, and the rain gradually decreased.

After the wine and meat penetrated the intestines, Chen Xin felt that his cold body regained his warmth, he held a white and clean cloth bag, and continued to rest against the city wall, waiting for the dawn to come.

When the first glimmer of dawn fell on the earth, Chen Xin's eyes regained their brightness, stood up unhurriedly, sorted out the tattered clothes, threw away the stick in his hand, looked at the two lifelike prostrate tigers carved on the city wall, strengthened his mind, walked into the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate, looked at Chen Xin's appearance as a little beggar, and was about to stop it, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bag hanging on Chen Xin's waist, and a black feather was sewn on the corner of the white bag, which was the dry food thrown to him by the girl yesterday, the soldier hesitated for a moment, but withdrew his hand。

Chen Xin didn't miss the soldier's subtle movements, and took everything into his eyes, afraid that the soldier would regret it, so he hurriedly accelerated his pace into the city, looking at the spotless streets, the simple and heavy floor tiles, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Luohu City, I'm finally here," After a morning of asking for directions, although he encountered a lot of white eyes and ridicule, Chen Xin finally found out that there are eighteen families surnamed Li in Luohu City, and these eighteen families belong to the only Li family in the center of the city, and this Chen Dong is the housekeeper of the Li family's family, and he is also quite famous in Luohu City.

After walking for nearly an hour, Chen Xin finally saw the Li family in the center of the city, no wonder this is the main mansion, a single Li mansion, the area occupies the entire street, on the other side of the street, there are some jade and medicinal herb shops, the door plaque reads, the Li family's certain store, there are eight guards in front of the main gate of the Li family, Chen Xin walked around the wall of the Li house, did not find the side door, or the dog hole, the low wall, and had no choice but to return to the main gate.

He took a closer look at the eight people, and found that the black power clothes worn by the eight people, with a golden feather embroidered on the cuffs, were the same as the feathers on the bag that the girl threw at him last night, only the difference in color.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xin hung the bag in a conspicuous place, revealing the side of the black feathers, and then picked a simple-looking guard, and walked forward cautiously: "Big brother, I am Chen Dong's long-lost grandson, can you please go find Chen Dong?"

The guards had already seen the sneaky Chen Xin, and when they heard Chen Xin's words, they were directly stunned, and after a long time, the guards stared at Chen Xin with a surprised expression, as if they were looking at a monster, with a trace of disdain in their eyes, a trace of worship, and a trace of seeing through all their thoughts. Chen Xin was a little flustered by this guard's staring, but after thinking about it, he secretly thought that what he said was right, his grandfather's brother, he should call him the second grandfather.

He continued to say to the guard: "You just say Mao'er Village, Chen Xin, he will understand everything, I heard that my grandfather is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, you explain the reason, and after he confirms it, your benefits are indispensable," After that, Chen Xin also deliberately patted the pocket on his waist.
