Chapter 429: Unintentional Exchange
Coming out of the mountain temple, the young man was silent all the way, only urged the mount under him with all his strength, and went all the way north.
The guards worked hard behind as usual.
The guard, Alai, had a plan and knew that this was the right direction.
As long as the Nanhua Town in front of it crosses the plain at the foot of the mountain, the distance is not far.
The horses overtook many cars along the way.
Without stopping for a moment, I quickly arrived at the mountain stream where Ah came to say.
This time, both him and the boy, including another guard, all three of them saw the doorway of the wooden bridge over the stream.
The improvised wooden bridge over the stream was clearly improvised.
When the boy saw the wooden bridge, he immediately got off his horse!
As he expected, it rained heavily at night, and there was a problem with the bridge over the mountain stream!
If such a temporary bridge to cross the stream were to be erected, it would be feasible after dawn.
This means that last night, as long as people passed by on the mountain, most of them stayed in caves or mountain temples where they could shelter from the rain.
It is easy to understand that after discovering that the bridge in the mountain stream was damaged, it was a laborious task to build it, and it had to wait for the rain to stop at dawn.
Those who took shelter from the rain must have waited for the dawn to act together.
A group of people had to gather and find dead wood from the forest, and everyone could work together to move the dead wood all the way to the stream to build the bridge.
The traces on the ground can't deceive people, just like the discovery when you stop at the mountain temple.
The young man narrowed his eyes and turned his head to ask the guard Ah Lai: "From here to Nanhua Town, at the current speed." How long will it take? ”
"With the footsteps of your mount, Third Young Master, it will take less than two hours." The guard Ah Lai thought for a moment and replied to him.
Xiaoling must be in town, and he will definitely be able to catch him this time!
The boy was convinced!
Crossed the mountain stream wooden bridge. The young man got on his horse neatly and galloped all the way in the direction of Nanhua Town.
The field of vision gradually widened, and a large plain appeared in front of me, and the shadow of the deserted village could be faintly seen. "Third Young Master, that is the village that was relocated, and after that, Nanhua Town will be closer to us!"
The mountain breeze mixed with the chill was blowing in the face. He also sent the words of the guard Ah Lai to the young man's ears, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he nodded. Not much to say.
The three of them sped forward towards the same goal
I got out of the dart board in the center of the town of Nanhua, carrying my heavy baggage.
After a short walk, I saw that the townspeople were clearly scurrying in a certain direction, and for a moment I remembered that I had made a mistake.
I would like to know what's going on here in Nanhua Town. But it shouldn't have come down in the center of town. Instead, you should go to the entrance of the town.
There should be a notice board over there, and you can see the notices posted by the local government related to conscription.
The summary of news from several parties has enough reason to believe that compared with Suzhou, which is about to rain but is exceptionally calm, there have long been movements in the town.
I hesitated for a few seconds, following the crowd and moving in the same direction.
That's where the announcement is posted in the town, and it's also how I learned about the town's recruitment as soon as possible.
Passing through the crowd, few people noticed me. Everyone is running towards that goal, and everyone cares about the announcement.
However, out of a paragraph. I slowed down and began to hesitate again.
I suddenly remembered the conversation with Wu Yu in the Mountain Temple, and suddenly felt that walking on the street with such a heavy burden was a bit funny!
Having changed my mind, I turned around and went back to what I thought was the busiest street.
It's not a big town, and it's just a few streets, so I think there's a good place to stay in a crowded place.
Let's go and settle down where you live for the night first, and then it's not too late to check the announcement!
I couldn't help but reach out and pat my forehead and walk for a while, observing the scene around me.
I quickened my pace to search the street, my eyes wandering over the shops on the side of the street.
A pair of eyes could not be idle, carefully paying attention to the clothing and behavior of the people on the street, as well as the shops and restaurants along the street, fortunately, the inn was not difficult to find, and soon found the place I wanted to go.
At the mouth of an alley, I saw an inn with a small face, and a small two-story building in the courtyard along the street.
That's it, I decided to go over and ask the price and settle down
Walking into the inn, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and asked about the price of the small inn room, which was within the range I could afford.
It's best that way, you don't have to run anymore.
After a short time, I was guided by the innkeeper and walked up the stairs to the small two-story building I had seen on the street.
As with the inns I've stayed in before, the layout of these inns seems to be pretty much the same.
The difference is in the size of the room, the number of rooms!
As I walked down the hallway, I wandered around and saw a row of a dozen or so rooms, all facing south.
The narrow corridor stretches to the west.
Walking down the hallway, I saw myself on my right-hand side, facing the backyard of the inn.
It's a long, narrow yard.
Looking around, I saw the kitchen, the utility room, the place where the firewood was kept, and, of course, the house where the people who worked in the inn lived.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
I suddenly realized that it was because I had traveled a lot of places that I felt that the inn was small, because I had a preconceived impression.
But the scale of Nanhua Town is in front of you, so for the people in the town, this inn is actually not small!
Pushing open the door, I entered my makeshift room, and saw that it was not large.
I looked closely, but I could see that there was a chuang plus a set of tables and chairs, and beyond that, there was a small utility cabinet against the wall.
I unwrapped my baggage and put the bag on the utility cabinet, which was immediately covered and out of sight.
I closed the door softly, descended the stairs down the promenade, and walked to the backyard to fetch water.
Along the way, I didn't meet any other guests, except for two people in the big kitchen. I was a little surprised.
It stands to reason that such a lively area is the most haunted place in Nanhua Town. I at least thought I'd see guests coming in and out of the hallway.
Could it be that the business is so cold and related to the news of Wang Shi's imminent arrival?
The window of the guest room faces the front yard, and if you open it, you can see the street and the distance, but I thought I'd open it later.
I closed the door, plugged in the deadbolt, washed it with water, and walked over to the utility cabinet to open my baggage.
Until this moment. My eyes were fixed on the burden waiting for me to be opened on the utility cabinet, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong!
What's wrong?!
Look at the top, how the burden has a place bulging. It's like it's been placed in an angular object.
I was breathless, and suddenly I thought of a possibility, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the burden.
The moment I opened the baggage, I was dumbfounded!
The wind blew through the window on my face. I can faintly hear movement in the street.
I stood at the window in a daze. The brain hasn't turned yet.
I definitely didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Nanhua, there would be such a big oolong.
Wu Yu and I took the wrong burden!
The big burden that he had worked so hard to bring to Nanhua Town was the one that Wu Yu carried.
The protruding edges and corners of the furoshiki I saw just now were the small pot that had cooked hot soup for us.
The hero who filled his stomach at the mountain temple on a rainy night!
Now Wu Yu must have arrived in Suzhou City, maybe she has found a suitable boat owner at this time and boarded the ship to go south to Xilan.
I was thinking, I didn't know the moment when Wu Yu opened the baggage in the cabin. Could it be the same expression as me?
The same shocked expression!
I tried to think back to what happened last night, and I must have made no mistake when I was at the mountain temple.
Because at that time the burden was placed under the eaves. But I sat in a different position than her, so the baggage was actually in two places.
At dawn, the men from the dart board came to disturb us and went down the mountain with them to help build a bridge.
I agreed to help at the time, but tactfully mentioned it to him, and won a chance for Wu Yu from a different path to leave.
Then I went out of the mountains and forests, and when I arrived on the mountain road, I accidentally bumped into the carriage going to Suzhou.
Wu Yu had a ride, or I took it upon myself to intercept it for her.
Or at that time, the two of them made a mistake when they took the baggage, or because when the mountain temple came out, our attention was attracted by the people in the dart game, and there was also the sadness of parting, and I didn't pay attention to what I was carrying.
Ironically, along the way to Nanhua, I never had the idea of looking at the baggage, even when I stopped in the small courtyard of a deserted village.
I'm thinking about Wu Yu, with Wu Yu's personality similar to mine, I won't stay in someone's car and open my own things casually.
If she wants to find out, she must find out when she arrives in Suzhou City!
I don't know if she got to the boat to see it.
The two of us don't even have a chance to get it back!
In order to go to the Northland, I planned and planned, prepared and prepared, and God played a joke.
Now I turned my head to look at the large bag open on the glove cabinet, and I didn't know what to do next.
A trace of melancholy rose in my heart, and I took a deep breath and said in my heart!
Since this is already the case in front of me, I will send a letter to Wu Yu when I leave from the Northland to explain the reason.
Now let's take a look at what is in Wu Yu's package?
It's not that I have a hobby of coveting other people's goods, but the money I have on me right now is not enough for me to buy a lot of things, except for the food in the hotel.
If I can use it, I will use it first, and if it is not enough, I can spend money to find a way.
I took the big bag and took out the small pot and the small bowl in the bag and set it aside.
These things are very heavy.
Although the pot was specially made by the blacksmith, and the bowl was also exquisite, it was carried on the body, and the weight was not light.
Wu Yu's strength is really not small, and he can carry such a big bag from Nanhua Town all the way to the Mountain Temple.
I walked over to the chuang with my baggage and put it on it, taking out the contents one by one and spreading them out.
As mentioned earlier, Wu Yu was not hungry in order to go on the road - her exclusive secret recipe concocted dry food.
By the way, there are some specialties of the town that she put in her big baggage, and the dry goods she dries.
The above things take up almost half of the capacity of the baggage!
It's indescribable, I sighed, remembering that when she set off from town, she still had a robe on her.
The garment had fallen there as he left the temple and was leaving.
Then I saw two sets of clothes in my bag, and when I took them out to see that they were a change of clothes, I picked them up and compared them with them.
Luckily, I'm about the same size as her, so I should be able to wear my robe.
I have to go to the ready-to-wear shop in Nanhua Town, because there are some things that can't be shared, and everyone understands it.
The clothes were prepared by Wu Yu for going south, although they were also men's clothes, they were obviously not as thick as the cotton robes I prepared for the north.
The fur jacket she had been carrying with her when she was leaving for me was put into my baggage.
Now she's going to carry me to Sealanan!
I couldn't help but smile wryly at the corner of my mouth.
When she met me, she kindly gave me the jacket, but by mistake, she still held it herself.
And the thick cotton robe I prepared, as soon as the boundary of the national capital city passes, Wu Yu is afraid that it will be too hot to wear!
I took out the potion that Wu Yu said about from it, and she put it in a small bottle.
Actually, I have a similar medicinal powder in my baggage, I don't know if Wu Yu will use it?
I think she's so smart, and her father is also a doctor, and she will come up with it when she sees the powder.
I still have wound medicine in my baggage, and I specially prepared it to be used in the north, so that Wu Yu may not be able to use it.
Also, there are some special medicines for girls in my baggage, Wu Yu must know when he sees it.
Hey, I really wasted so much effort before I left!
When I was building a bridge over a mountain stream, I met someone in the dart board who was injured, and I used herbs growing on the bank of the stream to apply it to him.
At that time, if I had remembered to use the wound medicine I had brought myself, I would not have delayed until now to realize the fact that I had taken the wrong burden!
However, then again, even if I could notice something strange at that time, I wouldn't have had time to catch up with the carriage heading for Suzhou.
So, no matter what I think, this oolong seems to be doomed, just like when I will meet Wu Yu in the Mountain Temple!
Unexpectedly, I also found a codex in Wu Yu's baggage, and when I opened it, there were some prescriptions recorded on it.
What's new is that I've read a lot of medical books, but I've never seen the same recipe before.
The answer soon became known, for some of the medicinal herbs mentioned in the Codex were specialties of the mountains near the town of Nanhua.
My eyes moved, if I hadn't been in a hurry to go to the Northland, the stay would be shorter, and if I had enough time, I would be interested in going around the nearby mountains!
I'm thinking, wasn't this codex in the baggage written by Wu Yu's father?
After taking stock of Wu Yu's baggage, I was planning in my heart what I wanted to buy, the ready-to-wear store was to go, and the pharmacy was indispensable.
I still have to prepare some medicine for the wound, and when I passed by the street just now, I seemed to see a pharmacy in a trance, where did it come from?!
I stayed in my room, thinking about it, when there was a knock on the door outside the inn room. (To be continued.) )
