The cold snow and plum are exhausted, and the spring breeze willows return.

Winter goes to spring, everything recovers, the peach blossoms in the courtyard bloom, the flowers are enchanting, the willows outside the courtyard spit green, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. Chu Yun'er stood in the center of the courtyard with a backpack and a long sword wrapped in black cloth, reluctantly looking at the wooden house where she had lived for half a year, inexplicably crossing, encountering Hongyu and the second master, and the bits and pieces of life here, as if it was just yesterday.

After recuperating for half a month, the body has healed, this half-moon armor has sent things more diligently, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, brocade clothes and jade clothes, even the snow-white silk duvet have been brought, there is nowhere to put firewood, there will be chopped firewood in the front yard every morning, even the pillars that were broken by the red-haired zombies have been replaced, and the place where the roof of the corridor is cracked is also new, Chu Yun'er can't help but sigh, the armor is really loyal.

In fact, how did Chu Yun'er know, these are the credit of the secret guards, the secret guards with both wisdom and bravery, and excellent martial arts have become hard porters, and they have traveled thousands of miles from the palace to bring the daily necessities of the second prince, the fresh dishes cooked by the imperial kitchen, and they were ordered by the emperor not to alarm the second prince, but they can only hide in the canopy to drink dew and eat dry cakes.

The spring breeze is blowing, the flowers are red and the branches are green, and the mountains and forests are full of spring, Chu Yun'er refused the second master to fly instead, and strongly requested that in the future, without her permission, they should not show their flight in front of people, and after walking for about four hours, they finally came to the side of the mountain road that they had explored, which was the official road that Ling Churou said.

The wide official road is like a winding shuttle in the Beifeng Mountain, the road side towering trees stand, there is no end in sight at both ends, the sunset is approaching at this time, the official road is uninhabited, and the silence makes people feel suffocated.

Chu Yun'er didn't know which direction could reach the town or village faster, so she had to choose the right-hand side casually, and she walked side by side in the middle of the official road with the second master, who was now able to walk like a fly.

A moment later, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and in the distance, an old man with gray hair and a sackcloth shirt was getting closer and closer with an old carriage.

"Uncle, where are you going" Chu Yun'er stopped, retreated to the side of the road, and asked loudly to the approaching carriage driver.

The old man who set up the carriage said "...... and the carriage stopped in front of Chu Yun'er.

"I'll go to the city in front, do you want a hitchhiker" Although the old man was over the age of six, his voice was full of energy, the wrinkles on his forehead were quite deep, but his face was full of red, and he was often swaying in the wind and rain at a glance.

"Thank you, uncle" Chu Yun'er was overjoyed, and dragged the second master into the carriage.

The trunk is old, it is already narrow, the second master is sturdy, almost occupying most of the trunk, Chu Yun'er leaned on the side of the second master, Hongyu lay on the small window on the edge of the trunk and looked curiously at the scenery along the road outside the window that gradually retreated, and in the midst of boredom, Chu Yun'er talked with the old man who was driving the car.

"Uncle, what kind of town is ahead?"

The old man who was driving the car smiled heartily and replied: "Ahead, the front is Rongcheng, not far, about an hour to arrive."

"Hehe, there is no shop in front of the village here, there is no store behind the village, it is sparsely populated, why does the old man take advantage of the night to walk on the road?"

A few months ago, there were countless people doing business, the traffic was busy, it was very lively, and even the night would not stop, but now, they all detoured elsewhere, no one dared to take this road, and in broad daylight, there were only a handful of people who could be seen. The old decay family is poor, and the children died in the war, leaving only an old woman and a Confucian grandson to be fed, fortunately in this troubled world, you can still mix a bite to eat, go back and forth between the two cities, carry people, transport goods, earn a little idle silver, the old decay is also helpless."

"Uncle, it's hard work, then do you know what makes those merchants and passers-by prefer to take a detour of thousands of miles instead of doing this?"

"Someone saw with their own eyes that there were zombies in the forest and attacked passers-by"

Seeing that Chu Yun'er didn't reply, the old man thought that Chu Yun'er was frightened, so he continued: "Don't be afraid, girl, maybe it's because it's inaccessible, this road has been a lot too peaceful in recent months, otherwise the old man wouldn't dare to take risks."

"Hehe, thank you, uncle"

It was all expected, and Chu Yun'er didn't say anything more. The carriage gradually left the forest, and the road was lined with abandoned fields, and an old, majestic ancient city could be faintly seen in front of it.

At nightfall, the carriage finally arrived at Rongcheng, the city gate was sparsely populated, and it was almost time to close the city. The old man's family lived outside the city, and he sent Chu Yun'er and others all the way to the city gate, Chu Yun'er insisted on giving him a silver ingot, and told the old man to find a reliable livelihood.

The heavy bronze gates were open on both sides, and several guards in dark red uniforms stood on both sides, passing through the cave-like passage of the city gates, and the scene of the city was fully revealed, with groups of antique buildings side by side on the side of the streets, bustling pedestrians walking and watching, and roadside vendors looking at passers-by with a look of hope, and if anyone looked at or walked to his stall, he immediately shouted with a smile on his face, and boasted loudly about his goods.

Chu Yun'er held the red jade with curious eyes, held the second master's hand and looked at the signboards in front of the pù doors of each store, fortunately, the traditional Chinese characters on the signboards were all regular strokes and paintings, if it was the line or cursive script of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, she really didn't know it.

After turning a few streets, she finally found an inn called "Kelai", Chu Yun'er booked a single room on the second floor, stayed for three days, gave the boss a tael of silver, and ordered a good meal on the table.

She sat on the bed of the inn and counted the few silver taels left in the brocade bag, thinking in her heart whether she should find a way to make some money, which was still scavenged from the second master, and when they ran out, they had to sleep on the streets.

"Yun'er, I want silver" The second master took a silver ingot and asked suspiciously......

Chu Yun'er carefully put the silver that the red jade was pulling and playing on the bed into the brocade bag one by one, and patiently explained: "Second master, this is silver, you can only buy food with silver, and you can also stay in the guest house, second master, rest assured, I will find a way to earn silver, hehe"

She tied the brocade bag around her waist, feeling too conspicuous, she wanted to hide it close to her body and had no place to put it, and put it in the cabinet in the room and felt that it was more like there were no silver three hundred taels here, and finally put the brocade bag in the backpack, and then hid the backpack in the quilt, there were too many people coming and going in the inn, this was their entire net worth, and they couldn't be stolen.

Chu Yun'er hesitated with the silver bag, repeatedly tossing and turning between the bed and the cabinet, and the eyes of the second master who were waiting quietly flashed.

There was the sound of gongs and drums in the street outside the window, someone was loudly announcing something, and the clever and active Hongyu was already lying on the windowsill, looking in amazement at the crowd of people from far and near who were beating gongs and drums downstairs.
