"Li Jiye, how long is it until Tongling?"

Cheng Yangyang limped her legs, walking step by step, they have been out for three days, except for the night rest, they have been on the horse for the past three days, her legs are worn out, and the pain is so painful that she doesn't want to get on the horse anymore.

"There are still three or four days", Li Jiye also accompanied her to get off the horse and walk, and helped her lead the horse.

"There are still three or four days!" Cheng Yangyang looked at him with wide eyes, "Didn't you say that Tongling will be five days at most?"

"Then I didn't expect you to ride a horse so slowly", Li Jiye was very helpless, he galloped when he went out, but she couldn't run, he could only follow slowly.

"Can we not take the official road and copy the path?"

At the end of the year, there are a lot of things at home, and ten days out is already her limit, and when she goes back one day later, things will accumulate one more day, and when she accumulates, she is afraid that she will not have a good time in the year.

"Do you want to copy the trail?" Li Jiye glanced around, but there was indeed a trail to copy, but ......, "If you copy the trail, you can't stay in the inn at night, you have to live in the wilderness." ”

"Lan Gongzi, can you?" asked Cheng Yangyang looking at Lan Yu'an, who also had leg pain.

"You call the shots!" Lan Yu'an is already a Buddha, he hasn't ridden a horse for many years, and he didn't expect to be planted on horseback.

"Then Li Jiye, you lead the way, let's take the trail", Cheng Yangyang got on the horse again, and tucked his skirt to his legs to reduce friction.

The three of them walked together not far ahead, and went around into the woods.

The trail is rugged, dense forests, and wild grass grows to half a person's height, if it weren't for Li Jiye leading the way, Cheng Yangyang would have gotten lost in a minute if he walked in this kind of place.

However, the advantage of walking the trail is that there are trees next to it, and the sun can't shine on them, which is more comfortable than walking on the official road a few days ago.

"Let's just find a place in front to stop for the night, it's too late to go. ”

It gets dark fast, and they can't wander around in the woods, in case they get lost or fall into some dirt pit.

"Good!"

The three of them walked to a wide woods in front of them, and found a vacant place to sit down, Cheng Yangyang rode a horse for a day, his legs were numb, and he almost stumbled and fell when he got off the horse, but fortunately, Lan Yu'an caught her.

Bolting the horse to the trunk of the tree, Li Jiye skillfully found dry firewood, and after a while, a bonfire was lit in the dark night, and the sound of crackling firewood cracking sounded, and the sound of the surrounding wind blowing the rustle of the woods rose and fell, intersecting and reflecting.

"You guys sit, I'll go hunt a pheasant", Li Ji finished the fire and walked away again.

"No need", Cheng Yangyang called out to him, she walked to her baggage and took out a duck, "I brought a duck." ”

"You actually have a duck with you?" Lan Yu'an looked at her in surprise.

"When you go out, how can you eat less?" she brought not only preserved duck, but also seasonal fruits.

Cheng Yangyang carried a cured duck, holding four or five fist-sized oranges in his arms, and walked towards the two, Li Jiye saw this, he took out a dagger and sharpened a wooden stick, put the duck up, and roasted it on the fire.

"Li Jiye, it seems that you are very proficient in wilderness survival skills, do you often go out?" Cheng Yangyang asked curiously.

Along the way, they all relied on Li Jiye to lead the way, he not only took the official road, but also copied the path, in the woods, he could also make a fire in a second, and even hunted pheasants!

"When I was a child, I ran around with my father, and I would be able to walk too much," Li Jiye said lightly, constantly turning the grill in his hand.

"Your roasted duck is roasted and eaten, it's so fragrant!"

He ate steamed preserved duck at her house last night, and now he tries to roast it, and the rich fragrance wafts out, the aroma of wine, meat, and saltiness, even the whirring evening breeze can't blow away the taste.

Cheng Yangyang and Lan Yu'an didn't eat any more after eating an orange, they were all waiting to eat the roast duck, seeing that the roast duck was almost ready, when Li Jiye was holding the dagger and giving them a share, a group of people suddenly appeared on the side of the road.

"Childe, there are people here!"

When Cheng Yangyang and the three of them heard this sudden sound, they all subconsciously looked back and saw a group of eight or nine people, all with swords in their hands, walking towards them.

The man who took the lead was dressed in a black robe, and the others were gray coarse linen clothes, if it weren't for the fire here, Cheng Yangyang would almost not be able to see them.

"Three, we're here tonight too," the black-robed man naturally joined them with his people.

The black-robed man sat down in Cheng Yangyang's campfire, while the others went to collect firewood by themselves, and then went here to borrow a fire and light another bonfire.

Cheng Yangyang glanced at Li Jiye and motioned for him to deal with the current situation, she was inexperienced.

"This son, here we arrived first", Li Jiye smiled lightly, staring at the black-robed man, as if he wanted to drive him away.

"They are all passers-by, meeting is fate, a few people don't need to be careful", the black-robed man reached out and tore a duck leg familiarly, and ate it in front of the three of them.

Now it's not just Li Jiye, even Cheng Yangyang feels that he doesn't treat himself as an outsider too much.

"It's delicious!" After the black-robed man ate a duck leg with satisfaction, he picked up an orange at Cheng Yangyang's feet, glanced at the orange peel under their feet, and he learned to peel it.

"Where did this boy come from and where is he going?"

He is already so familiar, Cheng Yangyang is not good to drive him away again, the night is long, since they are all going to spend the night here, it is better to be friends than enemies.

"Let's go to Shimen Town. ”

"Go to Shimen Town?" Cheng Yangyang heard that they were going to Shimen Town, she felt inexplicably cordial to them, "What are you doing in Shimen Town?"

"I heard that there is delicious food in Shimen Town, let's go and take a look, hehe!" The black-robed man seemed to like to laugh very much, he would laugh when he finished eating, and he would laugh when he spoke.

"Just because of this?" Cheng Yangyang didn't believe it, if he went to Shimen Town for food, he would need to bring so much to take it, and he still had swords in his hands.

Of course, the black-robed man didn't do it because of this, he got the news that he heard that the third prince of Nanlou was in Shimen Town, so he went to Shimen Town to try his luck.

But he also thought that Lan Yu'an, who was sitting directly opposite him, was the person they were looking for.

"Girl, where are you coming from and where are you going?" the black-robed man asked with a kind look.

"Let's go to Tongling", Li Jiye replied first, he always felt that they had a problem.

"Tongling!" When the black-robed man heard where they were going, he suddenly became interested, "We just came from Tongling, Tongling is in chaos now, you better not go!"

"How do you say that?" asked Cheng Yangyang curiously.

"There is a big grain merchant in Tongling who has been raided, and now there is chaos in the city, so don't go!"
