At the beginning of July in the solar calendar, it is the hotter season of summer in the Daye Dynasty. ●⌒, green gauze tents more than one person high have also grown on both sides of the official road, and the sorghum ears that have just emerged greet pedestrians silently in the swaying breeze. In addition to sorghum in the fields on both sides of the road, spring wheat is spring wheat, at this time, the spring wheat grains begin to plump after filling, and the green look is gratifying.

Li Ziyu and his party have been walking for five days since they left Yidu and traveled all the way north, but the expected trouble did not appear.

Fan Hai divided the fifty people into two teams and protected the carriage that Li Ziyu was riding in the middle. And he and Chai Bin rode horses and followed closely on both sides of the carriage, lest there be a little mistake. Before leaving, the eldest master and the second master found him together and told him to send Miss Biao home until he saw her return home safely. Especially on the road, there may be people who find trouble with Li Ziyu and tell him not to take it lightly at any time.

Fan Hai arranged accommodation in the largest inn in the local area along the way, even if he missed the accommodation and spent the night in the wild, he also protected Miss Biao in the middle, and the two shifts took turns on duty. Even if he knew that Li Ziyu was skilled and his martial arts were even higher than him, he didn't dare to be careless at all.

Li Ziyu had a secret compartment in her carriage, so this time she refused the carriage sent to her by her grandfather, and still took her own carriage. In order to avoid the guards from scattering, Li Ziyu, Wang Qiuyue and her daughters Chai Xiaoxue, Ao Nan, and Gu Yun sat in a carriage. Chai Xiaochun rode a horse at the beginning, with a sword hanging from his waist and walked with the guards, his big eyes patrolling around vigilantly, very like his father.

Chai Xiaoxue was very quiet all the way, quietly listening to the gossip of her mother and eldest lady, and occasionally secretly glanced at the arrogant man and Guyun who were sitting upright in the car. Li Ziyu noticed Chai Xiaoxue's silence and wanted to tease her, but she gave up because she didn't know her and didn't have any topic.

It was getting late that day, and it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, but there was no place to stay in front of us, not even a small village. Fan Hai and Chai Bin discussed it. The two of them chose a small forest not far ahead.

This grove is located on the east side of the official road and is a gentle slope that is not too steep. There are mostly locust trees and poplars in the forest, and there are also a few sour jujube trees. Now is the time of leafiness, and the whole forest is full of greenery. It's full of life and makes people feel comfortable at first glance.

Fan Hai personally led people to search the grove carefully inside and out, and found nothing suspicious, so guards were arranged to be on duty in every corner of the forest. When he thought it was foolproof, he beckoned Chai Bin and asked the coachman to drive the carriage over.

The coachman who came with him this time was a middle-aged man named Ren Baohe, who was about forty years old and sent by the Ren family. Li Ziyu knew at first glance that this person was carrying superior martial arts. Considering that the Ren family might send this person to the border with them to contact Ren Changqing, they agreed.

Going home this time, because of the disappearance of Liang Xi, Mama Cao and others, the whole journey became unpredictable. There are also the Sun family and the second prince, it is impossible for them to let Li Ziyu return home safely when they know that Li Ziyu may have something to do with the grenade. Of course, it is also possible that Liang Xi and the Sun family are all the way, no matter what, it will not be very smooth.

However, Li Ziyu didn't care too much. Not only did she have darts and grenades in her hands, but even if someone who was not afraid of death dared to come to her uncomfortable, she also prepared good things to entertain them. In short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is nothing to be afraid of.

At this moment, the carriage stopped at the edge of the grove, and Li Ziyu refused the hand of the proud man to help her get out of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage by herself. Wang Qiuyue and her daughter also got out of the car one after another, followed Li Ziyu's side, and moved around the woods. After a day of driving, everyone was really tired.

Ao Nan and Gu Yun stood in two directions. With his right hand on his waist, he watched vigilantly at the movements around him. The coachman, Ren Baohe, did not leave the carriage, he unloaded the horse and led it to a green meadow. Take out the feed and let the horses graze on their own. He took a brush from his bosom and gently brushed the horse. When the sweat on the horse's body was almost dry, he led the horse to a small ditch at the edge of the woods.

After Li Ziyu got out of the car, she was wandering around the woods, looking for something. Sure enough, in the grass not far away, I found a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and hurriedly greeted Chai Xiaoxue, Aonan, and Guyun. He said happily, "Come here, there are a lot of good things here, and we have a good time tonight." As he spoke, he began to pick.

Chai Xiaoxue arrived at the place where Li Ziyu found wild vegetables and mushrooms, and watched Li Ziyu picking with great interest, which also aroused the lively and innocent nature of the girl, and she also picked it after learning from Li Ziyu's example.

Ao Nan and Gu Yun hesitated for a moment, and then picked together, and a moment of surprise appeared on their faces, as if it was strange that Li Ziyu was so familiar and enthusiastic about mushrooms and wild vegetables.

This place is around the three locust trees, and the fresh wild vegetables and mushrooms have soothed Li Ziyu's nervous heart all the way. The guards who did not participate in the guard also joined in the picking, and in a short time, a large number of them were picked.

The guards packed the wild vegetables and mushrooms in sacks, took them to the small ditch to wash, looked at the fresh game, and looked forward to dinner.

Chai Bin and Wang Qiuyue hurriedly set up a pot stove in a relatively wide place, preparing to cook some wild vegetables and mushroom soup for everyone to drink.

This cauldron was taken by Li Ziyu from Fan's Mansion when he left, and he also brought a lot of dishes, chopsticks, dry firewood, various spices, sacks, etc. All but the iron pot was packed in a sack and tied to the roof of the carriage, and the iron pot was tied under the carriage. Li Ziyu thought that it was a long way to go home, and it was impossible to find a place to stay every day, in case of camping in the wild, everyone could not just eat dry food, and it was good to drink some hot soup. The escort team of fifty people worked so hard all the way that she couldn't bear to watch everyone nibble on steamed buns.

In the curling smoke, Chai Bin and Wang Qiuyue quickly cooked the wild vegetable and mushroom soup, and the air exuded a strong smell of fresh fragrance, which hooked everyone's gluttony. Everyone gathered around the iron pot, holding the wooden bowl and chopsticks distributed by Li Ziyu just now, and looked at the wild vegetable and mushroom soup in the pot with blank eyes.

Chai Bin first gave Li Ziyu a bowl and said, "Miss, you taste it first, how does it taste?" ”

Li Ziyu happily took it, brought the bowl to her mouth and smelled the aroma of wild vegetables, and said happily: "Wow・・・・・・ it's so fragrant!" It's really a delicacy in the world! So saying, he leaned over to the bowl and wanted to take a sip. Unexpectedly, the change was abrupt, and a pebble with a strong wind "snapped" and knocked off the bowl in Li Ziyu's hand, and the wild vegetable soup spilled on the ground. Immediately after that, Ren Baohe's deep voice came eagerly: "Miss Li, the soup is poisonous, don't drink it!" (To be continued.) )
