The two-year deadline is coming in a blink of an eye, and now Gao Ran is almost eight years old. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But when it was time to leave the mountain, she began to regret that she had set this appointment in the first place, which was too impulsive, too reckless, and too inconsiderate......

"Why did you just set it for two years? How could you just pick a big winter? Why did you have to pick a season when the spring flowers bloomed before leaving!"

While complaining about his own negligence, on the other hand, he could only reluctantly follow Zhao Yi in the deep winter of another year, and the five of us went out of the mountain together.

This time, however, they did not return the same route they had taken when they had entered the mountain, but proceeded directly at the foot of the mountain in a south-easterly direction until they had set foot on the only official road that had to be taken on the way to Banana Country, winding due south.

But because before completely getting out of that dense forest, the road under their feet had to be carved out by themselves, so everyone could only walk all the way and move forward slowly.

After walking like this for two days, and on the third day, near noon, everyone finally walked out of the dense forest.

Then they found that they were standing on the top of a hill, and from this hill, it was easy to see a few fields "not far away".

If there is farmland, it means that there must be people nearby!

So, everyone walked in the direction of the farmland in high spirits.

But who would have thought that when they really wanted to walk, they found that this hill was undulating, but the one under their feet happened to be the highest of these hills, so when they looked into the distance, they didn't realize that this road to the farmland was actually not easy to walk......

Obviously, it didn't look far away, and I thought it would only take an hour to get there...... But they didn't think about it, but when they actually went to walk, they found that the actual road required them to go uphill and downhill for a while, and then because the height of the hill under their feet was not high enough, their vision was blocked by other higher hills in front of them, so that they walked and walked unconsciously in the wrong direction!

It was only when they finally regained their view of the exact location of the farmland on the top of the higher hill that they were able to reorient themselves.

As a result, they went around and around, thinking that they would be able to reach the place in an hour at most, but they walked for most of the day, until the sun began to sink in the west, and everyone finally came to a path that was simply repaired next to the farmland. - However, when they arrived, they happened to meet a few farmers who were about to call a day and go home.

Gao Ran hurriedly ran forward to stop them, took out a small ingot of silver, and asked them to make it convenient for them to stay overnight, and took the opportunity to inquire from them about some basic information here: for example, where is this place? Also, where is the nearest town from here? Also, how far is the nearest official road from here? How to get there?

After negotiating with the peasants for a long time, the peasants saw that although Gao Ran was dressed in rough clothes, she was neat and clean from head to toe, and her conversation was too "elegant" compared to theirs, and she also had a Beijing accent......

Gao Ran is like this, even if the farmers have not seen much of the world, but occasionally they have entered the city. And the feeling that Gao Ran gave them was somewhat similar to the descriptions of "dignitaries and nobles" they heard in the city, so they could guess that Gao Ran's identity must not be simple!

In addition, seeing that she is not alone, and the few behind her are obviously not easy to mess with......

Originally, the farmers were a little conflicted! For the sake of the silver, it was not that they could not answer truthfully what Gao Ran wanted to ask...... But, spend the night......

Several people exchanged glances, and then turned their backs to her and whispered to each other for a while, but everyone knew in their hearts that they had already moved their greed, and they all wanted to get the small ingot of silver in Gao Ran's hand!

So, driven by that little greed, the "discussion" between them unconsciously turned into mutual persuasion......

"You see, she's not asking a very strange question......"

"yes, and the gang behind her doesn't look like a bad guy, but they don't look like bad people......"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! Have you noticed that although she gave us a lot of money, it was not outrageously large! If she gave us a large ingot of silver, or simply gave us a gold ingot, then we should be careful! Only people who really have problems would be willing to give so much money! Sure, that money will kill us!"

"Makes sense!"

……

Everyone said a word and pieced it together, but in the end they all succeeded in convincing each other, and everyone began to think in their hearts: I shouldn't get into any trouble! And I can make money! Since this is the case, it is not impossible to give convenience to others......

After everyone "discussed" for a while, it was finally agreed that the only one of them, the old farmer who lived alone, would give his home to a few of them for a night, while he would go to the other people's house for a night, and they would divide the money given by Gao Ran equally.

Then, the farmer who had been answering Gao Ran's inquiries on behalf of the others before told Gao Ran their decision again on behalf of the others.

After Gao Ran heard this, she waved her hand excitedly at the people behind her and motioned for them to come along!

"Come with me!"

With that, one of the old farmers, who had seen the eldest farmer, ignored them and went straight to his home.

When Gao Ran saw this, he understood, it turned out that the only one among them who lived alone was him!

However, thinking that everyone is just meeting in the water, they will not see each other again after tonight, so they are naturally no longer curious.

After that, everyone tacitly agreed that no one asked about each other's affairs, and followed the old farmer to his house in silence, and then saw him unlock them.

After that, the old farmer gave a few simple instructions, and then went away with the key and the door lock.

In this way, on the first night after Gao Ran and his party went out of the mountain, they stayed in the old farmer's house.

Of course, she agreed, and tomorrow morning, they would leave. And according to the old farmer's request when leaving, he will lock the door directly when he leaves.

Gao Ran and they didn't have a key, so once the door was locked on the outside, they would naturally not be able to enter the house again, and the key would have been taken away by the farmer when he left.

The old farmer's meaning was obvious: they couldn't play tricks when the time came, and they said they would leave at dawn, so they had to go!

"Girl, why do we have to huddle a few people together for one night in this shabby farmhouse?

"Don't you see the old man's face? I'm afraid we'll get into trouble for him if we stay with him for a long time!

"Master, I know that your old man is not afraid of cold, but you also have to take care of my body!

"It's winter now! The past two years in the mountains have almost made me forget what it's like to sleep in the wilderness!

"If I can avoid that sin, then why do I have to ask for my own hardship as soon as I get out of the mountain?!

"Besides, I've asked them before, this is the nearest official road, you have to walk for half a day on horseback! Also, to get to the nearest town, you have to walk on horseback for a day! In this radius of a hundred miles, there is no one except for these few families!

"So, if we don't want to sleep out in the wild tomorrow night, we will have to recharge our batteries tonight in this sheltered house!

"When the time comes, those who go to the official road will go to the official road, and those who go to the town will go to the town......"

After that, Gao Ran glanced at Yu Qiwen and Qiao'er meaningfully.

"Well, what Ran said is! Tomorrow, we should part ways! I plan to take the official road, all the way north, and go back to the capital first. ”

After two years of getting along, Yu Qiwen and Gao Ran have long been familiar to the extent that they can naturally call him by his name. And the initial hypocritical politeness, everyone has long forgotten when did they change each other?!

It all happened naturally - as if the friendship between the two of them was as unintentional as it was now. They don't know when they'll actually become friends.

"Hmm. Then you can ride Qiao'er's horse!

"Tomorrow we will ride to the nearest town!

"The farmer said that it would take a day to go on horseback, so we must set out early tomorrow at dawn, and try to get to the city when the gates are closed.

"I don't want to sleep in the wild!"

As he spoke, Gao Ran glanced at Gao Xi.

Gao Xi immediately nodded at her knowingly, indicating that he agreed to carry Qiao'er.

Although Gao Ran knew that it was indeed inappropriate to let his fiancé carry his maid instead of himself. But, this is also something that cannot be helped!

Zhao Yi will definitely not ride with anyone.

And her youngest child recognized people, and no one could carry it except her—not to mention, it was only more than four years old, and with its current size, among these people, it could only carry Gao Ran!

Therefore, if you must ride to the town, you can only let Gao Xi and Qiao'er ride together.

- Who let this Yu Qiwen simply abandon his mount and use light skills to follow them when he followed them up the mountain in order to facilitate the tracking of them. That's why there is now such a dilemma: five people, but only four horses, and one of them is only willing to carry Gao Ran...... (To be continued.) )
