358. Scenery
The afternoon sun shone obliquely in, and the room gradually warmed up because of several hot charcoal basins, and the sun shone on the body, and I felt warm and comfortable.
Chanyi took out the suede boots in the package one by one, and the sweat towels were also colored.
She carefully advised sentence by sentence: "This pair of thick-soled ones is just worn when it snows recently, this pair of slightly thinner bottoms will be worn after a few days when the snow melts, and this pair is lightweight, originally intended for you to wear when you ride a horse, I thought it was already spring, it won't be so cold, but I didn't expect the climate here to still drip into ice, this pair is estimated to be unwearable......"
Chu Shaoyuan saw that she seemed to want to take it back, so he hurriedly reached out and took it and placed it in the package, "I will always use it when it gets warm in a few days, since it is for me, then I am not allowed to take it back." β
Chanyi couldn't help laughing, she was just thinking about how to change it to be thicker, but she didn't expect him to misunderstand that she wanted to take it back, and she protected it tightly, like some kind of treasure.
She couldn't help but laugh and said softly, "It's not too early, I should go back." β
Chu Shaoyuan was reluctant to get up, he hadn't seen her for more than two months, and when he saw her, she was about to leave in a hurry, and he was really not at ease about the thousands of miles of poor mountains and rivers along the way.
"It's already afternoon, you are in a hurry at this time, you may not be able to rush to the next village before dark, and the post stations along the way are poor in materials, it is not too late to leave tomorrow, while there is nothing to do in the afternoon, I will take you to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass, after all, it is a trip, such a hurry to come and go, and then think about it, isn't it a pity?"
Chu Shaoyuan smiled, but his tone was full of temptation, and Chanyi's heart was a little impatient.
After all, she has never been out of such a far door in her previous life and in this life combined, and she has been to such a far place, although it has been hard along the way, she has gone through half of Dayan, if she really goes back like this, she may really regret it in the future.
"Is it okay?" she paused, and remembered that he was in the military, and she didn't know if it would be delayed, so she hurriedly asked, "Won't it disturb you......?"
Seeing that her heart was moved, but because she was worried about herself, she hesitated, and the smile in Chu Shaoyuan's eyes deepened a little.
"There's nothing to do this afternoon, just before the people you said arrived at Yanmen Pass, I'll take you around, if they come, I'll have to arrange it, but I don't have time." β
Hearing him say this, Chanyi's heart relaxed, since this is the case, then she shouldn't bother him.
Chu Shaoyuan saw the softening look on her face, and took her hand and said, "Don't hesitate any longer, it's just decided, you just come with me." β
He helped her put on her hat and led her out the door.
There were still Shen Shuofeng and Jinxin standing at the door, and when they saw them going out, they hurriedly greeted them.
"I'll go and prepare the carriage. Shen Shuofeng stood at the door and didn't listen to them, but just ran the internal strength method a few times, and when he saw Chanyi coming out, he thought she was going back, so he turned around and went to prepare.
"Don't worry, let's rest here for one night today, and I'll let the guards send you early tomorrow morning," Chu Shaoyuan interrupted him, turned to Jinxin and said, "Let's go out for a walk, you stay here with him, and we'll come back in the evening." β
Jinxin heard that Chu Shaoyuan's words meant to let Shen Shuofeng look at her, and she hurriedly nodded yes.
Seeing the two of them going farther and farther, Shen Shuofeng frowned slightly, a little surprised by the young man's influence on Chanyi, she kept worrying along the way, for fear that Yu Qiufeng would be exposed in the Xia Mansion, and it could be seen from the eagerness on her face that she must have returned immediately when she saw the young man. Unexpectedly, after only talking for a while, she changed her mind.
It seems that the friendship between the two is far deeper than he thought, Shen Shuofeng thought about it.
β¦β¦
The scenery of Yanmen Pass is very magnificent, when standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, there is a vast scenery under the blue sky, not like Yunfu City, which is a place where every inch of land is golden, at a glance it is a high raised eaves, the sky is a boxy day, even if you go to the farthest big Buddha temple to incense, the scenery you see is just some desolate or monotonous village paths.
Although it looks desolate here, standing under the blue sky, there is a faint sense of freedom that the sky is high and the birds can fly.
Chanyi looked at the blue sky in the distance and the vast white snow melted together, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder men like to fight on the battlefield and make contributions, it is this vast scenery that makes people feel shocked.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Chu Shaoyuan asked softly while standing beside her.
Chanyi nodded, "It's obviously the same snow, but what you see here is not the same as what you see in Yunfu City, like the snow here is whiter and brighter, and it makes people like it more." β
"The first time I saw snow here, it was pretty much what you think now. Chu Shaoyuan said lightly, "I have seen the snow in Yunfu City for so many years, and I have built a snowman for so many years, but I suddenly saw it here, but it was like seeing snow for the first time, and it was a white expanse within a hundred miles, which made people sigh, especially outside the gate...... The sky outside the pass is bluer and more magnificent than the Yanmen Pass, the endless grassland under the blue sky, when I went it was already early spring, the grassland was almost dry, but you don't know, the Tartars actually hate the snow the most, the weather after the snow is very cold, some of the cattle and sheep and livestock will freeze to death in groups, the weather outside the gate changes three times a day, in the spring, it is cold in the morning and evening to freeze to death, but at noon it is so hot that people can't stand it, once the cattle and sheep freeze to death, they will rot at noon, they have to bury the cattle and sheep in groups, otherwise there will be rinderpest to infect the living livestockγ β
Chan Yi glanced at him sideways, and found that his delicate face was carrying some memories at the moment, as if the days outside the gate were not particularly sad.
She couldn't help but ask: "When you were recuperating from your wounds outside the gate, did anyone embarrass you? Have you ever been wronged? I heard that all the Tartars are extremely vicious, they like to eat raw meat, drink human blood, and use human bones as ornaments......
These are all things she heard in her previous life, when Chu Shaoyuan was fighting with the Tartars in Yanmen Pass, and these rumors spread to Yunfu, which made her feel scared.
Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard her speak, "Hearing you say this, it's as if you've seen them," he shook his head while laughing, "What you said is not hearsay, there are really such people in the Tartars, but in the days when I was recuperating from my injuries, the Tartars I met were all of a decent temperament, so I didn't suffer any grievances." β
He consciously concealed all the hardships he had suffered, not wanting her to worry about it, after all, it was all over.
Thinking of the days outside the gate, he added with a smile: "But their food is indeed unpalatable." β
