In the early morning of the next day, Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian got up early, packed up and left immediately.

Jia Qian was obviously tossed by the pungent musty smell in the guest room and didn't sleep well, and his eyes were still a little dark. The two staggered to the door, and unsurprisingly found a new corpse, still a black turban, the man of the Nine Shadows.

Jia Qian also wanted to move him away while no one found out, but was persuaded by Dongfang Shiming. He didn't insist anymore, tightened the strap of the cage, and left quickly with Dongfang Shiming.

"Yue goes to the inn, this host is really exquisite, and he has a reason. ”

On the way, Jia Qian was still complaining angrily, "At least I was really happy when I left, and if I were asked to stay there for another night, I would rather go and sleep in the cowshed." ”

Dongfang Shiming smiled and patted his arm: "Contentment is always happy." ”

"Alas," Jia Qian pouted and shook his head, looking like a bitter old pedant, "Bad luck and bad fate." What is not to lead, it is difficult to walk in a bumpy way. ”

After all, the two still hurried to their feet and hurried away.

At the normal pace of the two, there are still four or five days before they can return to Fenglu County. In order to avoid accidents, the two quickened their pace, and at the same time, when they encountered sparsely populated roads, they changed to mountain trails to cover their tracks as much as possible.

I walked all day, and in the evening, I didn't see anyone staying overnight. There is no shop in front of the village and no store in the back, the sky is gradually darkening again, and the hearts of the two are getting heavier and heavier.

Rounding a mountain bay, the sun's afterglow was completely obscured by the hills. Dongfang Shiming looked at the hazy Siye and decided to camp here tonight, it may be more dangerous to travel at night.

Jia Qian was already so tired that he couldn't do it, and Dongfang Shiming was dragging him along the rest of the road. Hearing that Dongfang Shiming planned to stop, he naturally couldn't ask for it, and agreed again and again.

The two of them found a piece of bush not far from the main road and was relatively hidden. Jia Qian took out a large piece of rice paper from the cage behind him, used it as a paper pad on the ground, and found a few short candles and fire folds, and camped on the spot to make a fire.

Dongfang Shiming walked around the neighborhood and retrieved some firewood and wild fruits. Coupled with the dry food that Congyue brought with him when he went to the inn, the two of them had dinner together.

Dongfang Shiming said that Jia Qian basically had no experience of sleeping in the open like this, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood all night, perhaps because of exhaustion.

After eating and resting for a while, Dongfang Shiming asked Jia Qian to sleep first, and he gathered around the fire to watch out for any wild beasts. Jia Qian was already sleepy, and he fell down next to the tree and prepared to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he turned his head again and looked at Dongfang Shiming worriedly: "Brother Xian, you say, if we sleep here, will there be dead bodies coming to the door in the morning?"

Dongfang Shiming is staring at the bonfire. Hearing him ask, he had no choice but to smile bitterly: "I can't say for sure." But you've seen so many, and even if a new one comes, don't be afraid. ”

Hearing Dongfang Shiming say this, Jia Qian felt that it made sense, so he turned around and went to sleep with confidence, and after a while, there was a heavy snoring sound.

Dongfang Shiming was alone in the faint light of the fire, and in addition to the beating of the flames, there was also a trace of worry that was not easy to detect.

In the middle of the night, deep in the mountains, on the other side of the distant mountains, there seemed to be a wolf howling echoing. Under the clear moonlight, the sassy night breeze blows through the layers of mountains, adding a lot of mystery.

The next day, the two woke up with tired and sore bodies.

After all, after a long journey and poor rest, the whole body is in a very uncomfortable state. However, seeing that the map was getting closer and closer to the destination Fenglu County, the two still fought hard and prepared to hurry.

As soon as he turned out of the bushes, there was a new corpse on the side of the road. Jia Qian was no longer frightened, looked at Dongfang Shiming and smiled bitterly, and hurriedly continued to embark on the trip.

The two of them walked for a while, took out the rest of the dry food, and walked as they ate. However, the dry food has bottomed out, and if you still don't reach Shiya Village on the map today, I'm afraid you will inevitably starve.

"Although Shiya Village is called a village, it is quite large-scale. ”

Jia Qian thought back to what he had seen and heard, and explained to Dongfang Shiming: "It is a small town, although it is not as good as Jiangliang City, but it is also more lively. ”

"But the map shows that we are still quite a bit away from Stone Cliff Village. Dongfang Shiming said, "According to our speed, it is very likely that we will not be able to catch up today." ”

Speaking of this, Dongfang Shiming suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Jia, when you came here before, were you also so embarrassed?"

Jia Qian shook his head: "No, no, no." In the past, when I returned home to save my family, it was in early autumn. ”

"It was the autumn harvest and there was a constant stream of farmers buying and selling grains and fruits, and I used to take their ox carts to make the journey. As he spoke, he touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "But now things are different, and I am now sent home by sacrificial wine because of my poor literature, so there is no such good thing." ”

Dongfang Shiming frowned, he understood the situation. But then, I'm afraid they'll have to camp in the wild tonight.

After Jia Qian finished speaking, he was also thinking about this issue in his heart. He thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Yes, I have a place in mind. ”

Dongfang Shiming saw that he was suddenly excited, and hurriedly asked him where it was.

Jia Qian gestured his finger and said to Dongfang Shiming: "That's the case, I thought of a roadside restaurant along the way. Although I haven't been there, it's a good place for many farmhouses along the way to rest during the autumn harvest. Now that I think about it, we should be able to get there and tidy up first. ”

"That's very good. Dongfang Shiming also felt a lot more relieved. Even if you travel a little less today, at least you can be safe.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt more and more powerful, the wind was whirring under their feet, and they were in a lot of energy when they hurried.

Rows of clouds floated in the sky, cooler than the previous clear skies. The mountains go around and around, and they all seem to converge, only the road under their feet continues to spiral and extend, like a ribbon between the mountains.

The green fields are abundant, and the mountains are full of shade and flowers, which shade the cracked soil in early spring, and look even more beautiful.

Although the scenery on the side of the road is elegant, the two have not forgotten the real content to be carefully observed along the road. After walking for nearly a morning, they finally saw a small house in the distance of the field, although it was still the size of a small speck, but it was enough to excite the two of them.
