It's not easy to climb up, but it's not easy to go down, it's dark, Ye Xiaoyu can't see where the depression under his feet is. So she could only lie there, thinking about trying to climb up again.

It continued like this, and it didn't take long for Ye Xiaoyu to feel that her hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, and it was estimated that she was about to fall.

The board above his head made some noise, Ye Xiaoyu looked up with difficulty, and found a sunny figure at the mouth of the pit. The man was like a cheetah with a nimble hand, and in just a moment, he jumped to the bottom of the pit.

"Come down, I'll take you up."

A faint voice came from the bottom of the pit.

Ye Xiaoyu was lying on the wall that couldn't go up or down, because she was afraid of heights, she didn't dare to turn her head to look down. So I can't see a sunny expression, but Ye Xiaoyu's current posture of lying on the wall on all fours like a spider is definitely not very beautiful.

"I can't get down."

Ye Xiaoyu was helpless.

Her hands and feet were shaking, and if she really wanted to go down now, she would have to fall.

Sunny and didn't reply.

Ye Xiaoyu sighed in her heart.

She originally thought that Qing Liang would say that she would follow herself at the bottom, and sure enough, such a humane approach could not expect Qing Qing.

So I can only grit my teeth and muster up the courage to let go of my hands and feet that have been trembling.

"Smack-"

Unsurprisingly, Ye Xiaoyu fell on the thatch at the bottom of the pit again, but this time she was lucky, her face was facing up.

"You're just watching me fall??"

I got up from the ground and casually patted the weeds that stuck to my body. Ye Xiaoyu said in a low voice.

"Time is running out."

Qinglang said, ignoring Ye Xiaoyu's angry face, and reached out to check the rope on her body.

Originally, the tie was not too tight, and after some climbing, the rope was completely loose. Qing Lang also found out about this problem, so he started to tie it again.

After tying it up, he picked up the rope he had untied on the ground just now, tied one end tightly with the rope on Ye Xiaoyu's body, and pulled it hard to confirm that it was firm. Didn't say much either. Just holding the extra end of rope in his hand, he climbed the wall again, as he had just done before.

"It's your turn."

Qinglang, who was already standing safely at the mouth of the pit, said to Ye Xiaoyu, and looked at both sides vigilantly as he spoke.

No need to explain. Ye Xiaoyu is just afraid of heights. The brain is not stupid. She now fully understood the intentions of Sunny Weather's move.

She also quickly moved to the wall of the pit that had just been clear, and climbed up again with her hands and feet.

Because there was a sunny sun pulling on it, and there was a rope tied to it. Although it is still difficult, it is much easier to have help this time than it was to fight alone just now.

Although it was easy, it was only relatively easy, and when Ye Xiaoyu climbed to the mouth of the pit, he found that he was covered in sweat, and the shirt he wore in the innermost part was all soaked.

Standing at the mouth of the pit, you can still faintly hear the noise coming from the entrance of the cave in front of you, the group of thieves are eating, and no one notices the movement in the cave here.

As soon as he climbed out, he didn't care about untying the rope tied to his body, Ye Xiaoyu pulled his legs and ran like a hole on the other side. After recovering the wooden planks that had been moved to the side on the mouth of the pit, Sunny followed from behind.

After tossing for so long, by the time Ye Xiaoyu got out of the cave, it was already dark outside, but taking advantage of the night, Ye Xiaoyu saw something worth rejoicing.

The horse that had just gotten out of control was now quietly grazing on the side of the road, and the full moon in the middle of the moon sprinkled its brown hair like flowing water, exuding a faint halo.

Seeing Sunny appear, the originally quiet horse let out a low groan and wagged its tail seemingly unintentionally.

"Did you just go looking for this horse?"

Untied the rope tied to his body, Ye Xiaoyu asked with difficulty climbing up behind the horse.

"Hmm."

"You should have told me in advance, if you don't say a word, you will leave me alone in that black pit, this is too immoral, what if those bandits come back early......

The horse began to run forward, gradually getting farther and farther away from the hole, Ye Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had time to start complaining.

Qinglang, who was sitting in the front, did not answer, but just pulled the reins intently.

"Did you just blow that ugly whistle at the entrance of the cave to call the horses?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked again.

"Hmm."

The horse ran very fast, and the cold wind that kept rubbing against his cheeks, mixed with the unique scent of grass, although it was biting, made Ye Xiaoyu inexplicably sober.

The moon in the sky was very round, and the bright moonlight pierced through the jagged trees on the hillside, casting mottled shadows on the road, like ghosts with green faces and fangs.

After relaxing, there began to be a tingling pain in the weedy area on my face, and I also felt some pain on my body after falling several times in a row. After straightening her collar and burying her neck deeper, her mouth was dry, Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to speak again, and no one answered anyway.

took the wrong road and met a bandit again, and when Ye Xiaoyu and the others returned to the post station, it was almost dawn.

If you follow the previous practice, generally in this case, both of them will not stop, and go directly to the next station.

But not this time.

Because Ye Xiaoyu was covered in mud, her hair was messy, and her face was covered with dirt, she could barely open her eyes, like a burial clay figurine who had just crawled out of the grave.

Moreover, all the food they were carrying was robbed by the bandits, and the two of them had to stop to replenish some food.

Originally, the post station was set up by the government at the pass to entertain officials and their families, but as more and more merchants passed, the post station began to open up some rooms to allow merchants to stay, like inns.

But the inn is not as expensive as the inn, not to mention the price, and the conditions are even more simple, similar to some guest houses in some poor countryside in Ye Xiaoyu's previous life.

All the change of clothes he had brought with him were taken away by the bandits, and the clothes on his body were dirty and thick, and even if they were washed, they could not be dried in a short time. Fortunately, the money on his body was still there, so Ye Xiaoyu gave some money to the guy at the post station and asked him to help find two sets of clothes to change clothes.

After giving one of the clothes to Qinglang, Ye Xiaoyu hurried to the room, wanting to finish taking a shower quickly and then go on the road before noon.

After Ye Xiaoyu came out after taking a shower and changing her clothes satisfied, Qinglang was squatting in the stable of the compound and concentrating on feeding the horses.

The sun was very big, looking at the lights in the post station, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly realized that today was the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and in four days, the Lantern Festival would be ushered in.

It's been so long, Lu Qian and the others should have returned to Quanxiu Village smoothly.

But without Lu Yishou's Lantern Festival, it is estimated that Jiang Ping and Lu Qian are not in the mood, right?

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu come out, Qinglang stood up from the ground.

It's been a long time since I've looked at Qingqing so clearly, and Ye Xiaoyu was suddenly a little stunned.

More than two years have made the childishness on Qinglang's face disappear a lot.

With angular facial features and delicate contours, it must look good when you smile, provided that you can smile if you are sunny.

It's boring to go crazy on ends, especially with someone who never smiles.

At the beginning, Ye Xiaoyu would occasionally say a few words to herself, but later, she simply didn't talk about it, the daily life of the two of them was nothing except for rushing, eating, sleeping and feeding the horses.

When Ye Xiaoyu felt that her tongue had rusted and her chin was about to start growing stubble, she finally saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, and the words on it made Ye Xiaoyu almost fall off the horse with excitement-

That's right, after more than ten days of inhuman life, the two of them are finally about to arrive at the legendary Rongzhou City.

The boundary monuments have been seen, and the city gate will naturally not be far away, and after walking for a while, Ye Xiaoyu saw the ...... ahead Uh, not majestic at all - the city gates?

If an arch like this with only a few stone pillars casually placed together for people to enter and exit could be called a city gate.

The arch is very high, and when I approached, I found that there were various unknown patterns carved on the stone pillars, a bit like the gate in front of the temple of Zeus in ancient Greece.

There are no walls around the arch, and there are no garrisons, and he is used to seeing the heavily guarded Yuejing, Ye Xiaoyu can't help but wonder, is it really safe to live in such a city?

Compared with Ye Xiaoyu's cranky head and looking around, Qing Qing was very calm, still tightened the reins, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and quickly passed through the city gate and marched towards the city.

Different from the structure of the city in Yuejing, the market here in Rongzhou is not visible as soon as you enter the city gate. The arch just now can only be regarded as the function of a realm. Passing through the archway, there was a wide road inside, with many houses built on both sides, Ye Xiaoyu and the two of them walked along this road for a long time before finally reaching the downtown area.

Ye Xiaoyu had seen the downtown of Yuejing, which was a kind of crowded downtown unique to small-scale peasant society. Pedestrians are bustling and lively, but they have nothing to do with the market, the market, the economy, and are completely the power of the political center.

Rongzhou in front of you is different, although there are no crowds of people on the streets like Yuejing, but pedestrians in various costumes, vendors with all kinds of strange things, bargaining in various accents, and the incessant shouting of hawkers everywhere, as if no matter how strange needs can be met here.

Perhaps infected by the relaxed atmosphere around him, the pace of the sunny horse slowed down a little.

Walking through the streets, there are constantly people with exotic hair colors passing by, and the things on the small vendors around are also attractive.

However, their current minds are not here at all, they came all the way from the far north, and they were delayed for a few days on the way, and now she just wants to find the yamen quickly, and then understand the situation of Lu Yishou.

The city of Rongzhou is very large, and the government is built in a very remote place, Ye Xiaoyu asked a few people one after another along the way, and only then did he see the three big words "Rongzhou Mansion" at the end of an alley. (To be continued......)
