Chapter 22: There are men and women in the hearts of men and women
"Zhao Xu, since this matter is not something we can solve, then it can only be like this, oh, by the way, in less than an hour, you can walk out of the grassland and see the official road to Wucheng, and you can enter the city before dark. ”
The two rode on their horses and slowly followed the caravan on their way.
As soon as Zhao Xu thought that he would be able to arrive at Wucheng soon, where the girl lived now, he was inexplicably happy, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Hey, Zhao Xu, what did you think of, your saliva came down. ”
Zhao Xu's face flushed instantly, but fortunately, his skin was dark and he couldn't see it.
Brother He laughed. ”
The two laughed together, and they had a tacit understanding.
He Wu rubbed his mustache, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
"Zhao Xu, you said earlier that you went to the Shangwu Academy in Wucheng, didn't you have a certificate of completion for the Wuwu Academy, that's the case, my master can help you, after all, you also helped the caravan, and the courtesy is still exchanged." ”
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Oh, is there a way to help me get a certificate of completion? Brother He, you're not kidding, are you?"
He Wu knew this, and hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's not to help you get a certificate of completion, it's not so capable, but it can help you get into a very good private martial arts academy, the teaching is no worse than the public one, although the cost is not low, of course, the tuition fee for the first year is still out of my family, you can rest assured." ”
Zhao Xu was already very troubled and helpless about this matter, but now that he has a way, he naturally has no reason to refuse.
"That's it, I can only be troublesome, I'm thin-skinned, I won't say thank you, hahaha. ”
The two laughed together.
"So it's decided, the rest of the matter will be handled by the caravan, that is, the old man, it won't be long, you wait a few days to get the result, what about me, just go over first, you can find me at any time if you have anything." ”
Zhao Xu looked at the back of He Wu departing and the caravan hurrying non-stop, and fell into deep thought.
What the hell am I doing?
I left my hometown in a daze, and rushed to Wucheng with a purpose that I thought I had, I didn't feel a little real, like a dream, thinking about the year I spent on the mountain, I was even more certain, was time passing too fast?
Probably neither, maybe it's because I haven't found the true meaning of this trip yet.
Actually, this is a very earthy name, but that person gives me a different feeling, always thinking about her, always wanting to see her, even if I can't say a word, I just want to see her, that's all, yes, she's in Wucheng.
A smile regained on Zhao Xu's confused face.
There was a fresh breeze blowing on the prairie, which was very comfortable.
It's just that herdsmen are not as common as people in ordinary books say, and they don't see herds of cattle and sheep, maybe it's because of the horse bandits.
It is getting closer and closer to the city pass, there are many, many white dots moving on the mountains on both sides, it turns out to be sheep, and I don't see a shepherd boy or a shepherd dog, so I don't care if someone steals or loses sheep......
The hearts of the herders are really big.
Along the way, Zhao Xu did not see the magnificent majesty of the 100,000 mountains, but the second Xiongguan in front of him made Zhao Xu extremely shocked.
The majestic city pass built between the two mountains in the shape of a pocket is so high that people can feel the oppression under the city pass.
This city pass is also the second barrier in the northwest, occupying a geographical advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is said that it can block a million soldiers, and thousands of soldiers defending the city are enough.
Zhao Xu looked up and couldn't see the appearance of the soldiers standing guard at the head of the city, which showed the height of this city.
This Xiongguan is called the Life and Death Pass, if this city pass is also lost, then the country is in danger, which shows its importance.
Entering the customs is to be inspected, it is the turn of the caravan, Zhao Xu saw the old man get off the carriage, ran over and approached the soldier who checked it, and stuffed the bag of money with extremely skillful techniques.
As for why the old man in the caravan wanted to stuff money into the soldiers, Zhao Xu didn't understand, at the age of fourteen, he couldn't understand or think through, so he simply regarded it as someone's "rules".
Entering the city pass, it was like entering a new world, with a lot of traffic, people coming and going, and Zhao Xu's eyes couldn't see it.
Roar, this is a big city with a population of one million, it is really different, houses, streets, clothes, expressions, conversations, postures, Zhao Xu noticed the gap between himself and these people.
Mud-legged country ...... Probably many people will look at Zhao Xu like this, or think like this in their hearts, now or in the future.
Zhao Xu, who was a little nervous, tried his best to hide his abnormality, but fortunately he sat on the horse, otherwise he might even walk awkwardly.
The calmness on his face was unexpectedly seen by the old man of the caravan.
The children in the countryside in the northwest didn't expect their psychological quality to be so good, and it was the first time for such a child and an old man to see him, no wonder......
He Wu, you are a stupid melon, you are in your twenties, you are still so brainless in doing things, our lord is a businessman, and what businessmen care about is nothing more than profit, and now the lord loves the eldest lady Yes, but, when it comes to the age of marriage leave, what rights do you have.
You have given the eldest lady a chance now, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be no result, but it will hurt my heart, and the eldest lady is just a smart and simple child, but it is unforgettable.
That's it, without this Zhao Xu, there will be another Zhang San or Li Si, and I will talk about it later.
Zhao Xu lived in the inn with the caravan, a very good inn, better than the best house he had ever seen, the room was also very spacious, the furniture was much better than his own home, especially lying on the soft and comfortable bed, Zhao Xu just lay down and fell asleep, he couldn't resist the fatigue, he couldn't resist the comfortable bed and pillows, ah, it was great.
These are all arranged with the help of the caravan, living in the upper room, not charging money, and the caravan also has to hand over the goods and deal with the leader of the horse bandits, Zhao Xu can't help with these things, so he simply stays in the room and rests.
Just when Zhao Xu was sleeping and dreaming, the eldest lady of the Feng family, who had been lingering outside the door, kept hesitating......
Since she was a child, the pampering of her father and mother has made this girl have no worries, and she rarely touches things outside, and when she encounters something like this, it is the first time, no one helps her come up with ideas, no one helps her judge and decide, and besides, how can a girl be embarrassed to say this kind of thing to others, besides, she doesn't have any good girlfriends to say these things......
Reach out and get ready to knock......
But he put it down again and circled around the door.
He stretched out his hand again to knock on the door......
But let it go......
It's all about how to greet him, how to thank him, how to introduce himself, and how to express gratitude and invite him to dinner, huh...... Eating together is the point.
In this way, this girl lingered in front of Zhao Xu's door for a long time, and Zhao Xu in the house, dreaming of the girl in his heart, was an ordinary-looking, but fairy-like girl.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, you...... Are you alright?"
