Chapter 282: Fortress
As long as Xiao Diyuan was at home, it would jump on Xiao Diyuan's lap, raise its little paws and pat Xiao Diyuan's arm or face in a friendly manner, and a pair of round eyes also stared at Xiao Diyuan's face with curiosity, as if a fish was hanging on it.
Xiao Diyuan's first experience of being liked and remembered by a cat was inadvertently touched by the softest part of his heart, and his relationship with it gradually became intimate.
Twenty days later, Xiao Diyuan and his party were going to inspect another city, so naturally they also brought the cat.
In the past 20 days, the cat has never left Xiao Diyuan's residence, and no one has come to look for it, so Xiao Diyuan took it away very calmly.
Maybe that's what he has to do with it.
He was not loved by his parents and brothers all his life, and now he has a cat who relies on him so wholeheartedly, which also makes him involuntarily feel valued and needed.
At this time, it was early autumn, and the weather was cold, so Xiao Diyuan made a few clothes for Da Hei with his own hands.
It is said to be a garment, but it is a long cloth cover made in comparison to its size, which is just enough to wrap its body and have buttons to fasten it, so that its body will not feel cold.
Wen Zheng saw it and said with emotion: "My cat doesn't wear clothes every winter, and His Royal Highness has put on clothes for Da Hei just now, and he really raised it as a human being." ”
Xiao Diyuan smiled silently and silently stroked Da Hei's back.
Because he needed to stay on the horse for a long time, Xiao Diyuan was worried that Da Hei would not feel comfortable sitting on the back of the horse, so he made a rattan cage for Da Hei, let Da Hei lie in the cage, and then put the cage on the horse's back, and it was in front of the position where he was sitting, so that he could see it at any time.
A door was made at the top of the cage, and Xiao Diyuan did not lock the door, so that Da Hei could stretch his head out of the cage to look at the surrounding scenery.
Dahei really appreciates it very much, and often stretches half of his body out of the cage on the way, watching the surrounding scenery like a human. Sometimes, Da Hei would also look back at Xiao Diyuan, as if he was trying to see his mood from Xiao Diyuan's face.
When he is tired, Da Hei will lie on his stomach in the cage and sleep with his eyes closed, but once he smells something strange or hears something unusual, he will wake up immediately, and then look back at Xiao Diyuan for the first time, and only when he is sure that nothing has happened to Xiao Diyuan, he will start to pay attention to his surroundings.
On this way to another city, Xiao Diyuan felt the warmth between humans and animals, which often made him can't help but reddened his eyes for a moment, and he told himself that as long as he is there in the future, there will be a day when there is a big black, and nothing can separate them except death.
He thought of Jiang Yuetang again, the little baby he had already guessed ninety percent of her identity, and she was also the person he wanted to protect for the rest of his life.
Now, he has a person and a cat in his life that he deserves to protect, and he feels warm and fulfilled in his heart.
Judging from the current situation, of course he has the ability to take care of this cat, but the little man who is far away in Zhao has not yet lived under his wing.
In order to win her, he still has many challenges ahead, but he is not discouraged and does not back down. If there was anything in this world that he really wanted to fight for, it was her, only her.
As long as he thinks about the picture of living with her, he is already so happy that he doesn't know why, so for the sake of this happiness, he will move forward bravely.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, causing the horse to pick up speed.
Two days later, they arrived at the second city of the trip, Macheng, which is a city north of Daba City, adjacent to Daba City, which is named after the production of ramie, and is the famous hemp city of Shuguo, from which the raw materials for the linen clothes worn by the people of Shuguo are basically purchased.
Macheng is not big, and there are many mountains, and the mountains are full of ramie as far as the eye can see. This season is the season when ramie blooms, and the bunches are full of branches, and a bumper harvest is in sight.
In recent years, because the production of hemp is not bad, the living standard of the local people is also good.
Xiao Diyuan stayed in Macheng for 20 days, walked the streets and alleys, mountains and mountains of Macheng, and learned about the annual output of ramie and the living conditions of the local people from the local people, and then went to the third city - Liuying City.
Liuying City is a city closer to the north.
From Dam City to Macheng and then to Liuying City, it can be said that it is all the way to the north, and the climate is colder.
On the way, Wen Zheng asked Xiao Diyuan: "Second Highness, with our current inspection speed, it won't take two months to inspect the four cities, why did you apply for a six-month period?"
Although Wen Zheng, Fang Lang and Gu Shu knew that Xiao Diyuan was the one who had helped Shuguo win two big competitions, after all, Xiao Diyuan was only a fifteen-year-old boy now, so when they talked to him, they inevitably had the feeling of elders talking to juniors.
Xiao Diyuan also knew that they had a lot of doubts about his trip, but he didn't want to explain more, so he simply replied: "I'm afraid we will have to stay in Shuangzhu City for some time at that time." ”
Shuangzhu City was the last city of their trip, adjacent to the ethnic minority areas of northern Xinjiang led by Longlong.
Wen Zheng vaguely understood Xiao Diyuan's intentions, nodded and said, "Okay, let's listen to His Royal Highness." ”
It was already evening when they arrived at Deliuying City, and the group was tired and hungry, so they immediately rushed into a hotel on the side of the road to eat. After dinner, everyone booked a room at a hotel next to them, and then went to the roof of the hotel to watch the night.
It was the first time for everyone to come to this city, so they all felt very new.
There are a variety of wines produced in Liuying City, among which mare's milk wine and wine are famous. Just now, they ordered these two kinds of wine to drink, and they still have a lingering aftertaste.
"When I'm old, I'll bring my wife and children to settle here. Fang Lang said with emotion, his eyes full of longing.
Indeed, this place has a soothing rhythm and a mood of life, which is really suitable for retirement.
The others nodded their heads in agreement after hearing this, and then couldn't help but admire Xiao Diyuan's choice from the bottom of their hearts.
At the beginning, it was Xiao Diyuan who took the initiative to ask Xiao Hong to seal these cities to him.
Xiao Hong originally wanted to give Xiao Diyuan several border cities at the eastern end of the Shu Kingdom, because that place would be the sea beyond it, and Xiao Diyuan lived there, and he didn't have to worry about him expanding his territory. But Xiao Diyuan wanted the cities in the northwest.
Those cities are bordered by the borders of Zhao, Ye, Yun and Yu, and although the terrain is extremely steep in some places, they occupy fortresses, and if those cities are given to Xiao Diyuan, he will be very uneasy.
But he is also a smart person, and he knows that as long as Xiao Diyuan is here, Shuguo should have a chance to win more cities in the future, so after some weighing, he agreed.
Dear friends, a watch is coming :) ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!!
