Let's say that Zhao Siniang and Jiang Ling lasted nearly a year and finally returned to Middle-earth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that they failed to land in Yan State, and the port of Qingbo, where they disembarked, was under the rule of Ning State.

This is not that Zhao Siniang wanted to take a trip to Ningguo on a whim, so she changed her itinerary again.

In fact, she has been away from home for a long time, and she has long hated that she can't fly back to Youzhou, and she doesn't want to stay elsewhere at all. But the blame is that the boat they were on when they came did not meet the schedule, and said that they would leave the ship in a month, but in less than a month, the matter was done, and the boat left ahead of schedule. By the time Zhao Siniang and Jiang Ling found it back, there was no trace of the boat for a long time.

There are very few ships bound for Yan in Nanyang, and there is a huge harbor, Zhao Siniang and Jiang Ling were stunned that they did not find the second ship bound for Yan Kingdom, but they saw countless ships from Ning Kingdom. In desperation, they had to get on a merchant ship bound for Ningguo, wanting to return to their homeland through Ningguo.

Compared with Yan Kingdom, Ning Kingdom is closer to the South Seas, and Ning Kingdom's ships are obviously much better than Yan Kingdom's ships. It took nearly six months to travel from Yan to Nanyang, and less than four months to travel from Nanyang to Ning.

Zhao Siniang thought to herself that if she walked fast enough on the road, she might be able to get home in time for the year. This can be like that, and the family can also gather around for a reunion dinner.

However, Zhao Siniang's idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, her road back to her hometown is destined to be full of thorns.

The two traveled thousands of miles, and on this day, they finally came to Chuzhou in Ningguo. Chuzhou is adjacent to Jinju in Yan Kingdom, in other words, after Chuzhou, they can return to Yan Kingdom.

Maybe the closer they got to Yan Guo, the more homesick they became, and the two of them just hurried forward and missed the stay.

Seeing that it was getting late, I couldn't find a place to sharpen. Just as I was anxious, a woodcutter came in front of me.

The woodcutter was very enthusiastic, and when he learned of their difficulties, he took the initiative to invite them to stay at his house. When they met such a good thing, they gladly agreed, and followed the woodcutter home.

It turned out that the woodcutter's house was at the back of the hill, and they could not see it from standing here, but it was actually quite close, but the time for a cup of tea had arrived.

Although the woodcutter was warm, there was nothing to entertain in the small mountain village. He tidied up in the stove for a while, and then brought out a plate of fried bacon with garlic leaves, two large bowls of boiled dried vegetables, and a small pot of corn.

Zhao Siniang could see that in order to entertain them, the woodcutter should have taken out all the inventory at home and did his best to buy this meal. She was grateful, not too rude, and raised her chopsticks to eat.

But Jiang Ling took away the chopsticks in her hand, and smiled at the woodcutter who claimed to be surnamed Chen: "We appreciate Uncle Chen's kindness, but we are northerners, and we have never been accustomed to eating the diet of the south. Although these meals are good, we can't eat them. I'm really sorry to let you work in vain for so long, and please use it slowly. ”

Jiang Ling said that he really took out a few pieces of baked cakes and a celadon jar from the baggage he was carrying.

Those pieces of baked cakes were bought in the city yesterday, and it is said that the shop that sells them is a century-old brand, and the baked cakes made are well-known, so they bought a few more.

As for the celadon jar, it contains a secret meat sauce, which was made by borrowing someone's kitchen when Zhao Siniang stayed at the inn last time. Produced by Zhao Siniang, it is naturally extraordinary. As soon as the lid of the jar was opened, a rich smell of meat immediately permeated the humble farmhouse.

Regardless of whether Jiang Ling really did not adapt to the difference between the diet of the north and the south, judging from the appearance of the sesame baked cakes and the aroma of the meat sauce in the jar, it seemed that he would abandon the woodcutter's coarse meal and have to eat his own dry food, which did not seem so incomprehensible.

But Zhao Siniang has been with Jiang Ling for a long time, and knows that he is by no means a picky eater. Thinking that when they were on the ship, sometimes they couldn't get the supply of fresh vegetables, meat, and eggs on the ship, so they had to follow the crew to gnaw dead dough cakes and chew old pickles.

Although the current food is not good, it is much better than the food on the ship, why did Jiang Ling suddenly pick on it and refuse to eat it? It's also so extraordinary.

Zhao Siniang was surprised in her heart, but she was casual in small things, but she respected Jiang Ling's wishes in big things. Now she only has Jiang Ling in her eyes, no matter how ugly Chen Qiaofu's face is.

However, Chen Qiaofu was also very good, after being so swept away by these two goods, only a short time later, he looked the same as before, and continued to entertain them warmly.

After the three of them finished the dinner in harmony, Jiang Ling ignored the woodcutter's strange eyes and squeezed into a room with Zhao Siniang.

They had told the woodcutter earlier that they were brother and sister. Men and women are seven years old at different tables, even if they are brothers and sisters, both of them are in their teens, and it is not suitable to live in the same room. In particular, the woodcutter said that he still had two empty houses in his house, and that there was really no need for them to be crowded together.

Jiang Ling's move is really neither appropriate nor necessary, and it is really incomprehensible.

"What's wrong?" As soon as she closed the door, Zhao Siniang bit Jiang Ling's ear and asked softly.

In Zhao Siniang's opinion, Jiang Ling has always been steady, and there must be a reason for his repeated abnormal actions tonight.

Zhao Siniang got too close, her cherry lips accidentally rubbed on Jiang Ling's ear, she didn't notice it because of her rough temperament, but Jiang Ling began to get hot from the tip of her ear, but after a few breaths, his whole body was as red as a boiled shrimp.

However, Zhao Siniang didn't get Jiang Ling's reply for a long time, so she came over again and got closer.

Jiang Ling hurriedly took a big step back, and in a hurry, he forgot that there was a door behind him, and this retreat actually hit the door, making a loud bang.

Such a loud noise not only startled Zhao Siniang in the door and Chen Qiaofu outside the door, but also made Jiang Ling suddenly sober up.

Jiang Ling hurriedly put away his charming thoughts, took Zhao Siniang's hand, and quickly wrote in her palm: "It's not appropriate here, you need to get out as soon as possible." ”

At first, Jiang Ling didn't suspect the woodcutter, and really thought that he had met a warm-hearted person. But as soon as he entered the village with the woodcutter, he sensed that something was wrong.

It's not that there are people or things in the village that make him suspicious, in fact, this small village is peaceful, and along the way, they don't talk about people, not even a dog, so naturally there is nothing for him to suspect.

But it was precisely this tranquility that made Jiang Ling uneasy.
