Chapter 45 The Monuments of the City Gate
"I know Miss, don't worry, I won't show it."
Hong'er looked at Ye Xiaoyu, whose eyes were full of worry, and said seriously.
"Hong'er, I believe in you."
Ye Xiaoyu replaced the worry in her eyes with conviction, and patted Hong'er on the shoulder with a smile.
The time to speak was easy, and in a few moments, it was already bright.
"Hong'er, it's almost time, I'm leaving......"
Ye Xiaoyu looked at the sky outside the window and said to Hong'er. If you don't leave now, it is estimated that it will be too late to catch the morning market.
Regarding the lunch market, Daye Guo's daily business hours are divided into morning and afternoon markets, and the morning market is mainly for people living in Yuejing, which is almost from 6 am to 9-10 am. The lunch market is set up to facilitate people in the surrounding countryside to sell things, and the time is relatively late, probably after the end of the morning market, and then the lunch market is postponed to 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon. Because the law of Daye Kingdom stipulates that after 5 o'clock in the evening, the city of Yuejing should be cleared, so generally after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, there are basically no vendors selling things in Yuejing City. However, the Qing market is not the same as a curfew, and at night in Yuejing, there are still special business items, such as restaurants and Yihong Courtyard.
This is the daily business time, if you encounter the Lantern Festival, Tanabata, New Year's Day and other relatively large festivals, there is no rule to clear the market, so, even in the evening the city will be very lively, many shops to open the night, and then the next day's morning market and lunch market.
Today is neither the Lantern Festival nor the Chinese Valentine's Day, it is just an ordinary day, so in order to arrive in Yuejing City at noon, Ye Xiaoyu has to go out so early to be in time.
Although it was relatively early, the village was already full of smoke, and there were many villagers coming and going with farm tools on the village road.
Ye Xiaoyu walked on the road, with an embroidered handkerchief and the only remaining 5 yuan on his body, although Hong'er bought a bun before leaving 1 yuan, but Ye Xiaoyu did not take it back, and directly gave it to Hong'er as pocket money, so now there is only 5 yuan on his body, and the jade pendant left by the young man in white.
Although he was calm and calm in front of Hong'er, in fact, Ye Xiaoyu was also a little nervous in his heart, this was the first time he went to the capital, and he didn't even know the road, so he relied on his own enthusiasm and resolutely went to a place he had never been to alone, even if this place was not too far from Quanxiu Village, but walking for two or three hours was still quite a test.
Ye Xiaoyu was afraid of being discovered, so she almost trotted out of Quanxiu Village. Although the people are not high, the speed of running is still okay, and after a while, they left the village and arrived at the stone monument at the entrance of the village.
Standing next to the stele, Ye Xiaoyu was faced with the choice of left and right directions, in fact, there was no good choice, because Ye Xiaoyu remembered that the direction in which she came here was on the right, and the young man in white also said that there is only one way to go to the capital here, so as long as you follow the road in the direction of your left and keep walking, you should be able to go to the capital and Yuejing.
Thinking like this, Ye Xiaoyu straightened his backpack and strode forward.
This route is an official road, so it is built very wide and flat, a bit like the asphalt road in his previous life, probably because he is not too early or late, and there are not many pedestrians on the road. On the morning of winter, when the sun appeared late, the bare tree trunks and weeds on the side of the road were still hung with the frost and ice crystals formed last night, and the cold wind gusted, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but shrink her neck, wrap her scarf tightly, and put her hands in her cotton pants pockets.
Because the weather is cold, and she is going far away, so Ye Xiaoyu is wearing a very heavy today, regardless of whether she is beautiful or not, she is wearing a cotton autumn coat on her upper body, a vest in the middle, a thick cotton jacket on the outside, thick cotton pants on her lower body, and black cotton half-tube boots with fleece on her feet, and she also wraps her ears and neck with a scarf.
The road is wide and straight, and the surrounding trees are almost the same, so Ye Xiaoyu doesn't know how far he has gone, but now that the sky is bright, the sun has also run out, hanging in the east sky, the winter sun, although not violent, but shining on the body, there is an indescribable warm feeling, plus just now desperately rushed, Ye Xiaoyu had some dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and suddenly felt a little hot.
From the beginning to the present, it is estimated that at least half of the distance has been walked, Daye Country is located in the plain, I don't know other places, but at least there are no high mountains near Quanxiu Village and Yuejing, and the surrounding fields are flat, just like now, both sides of the road are endless fields, because the autumn harvest has ended, the fields are slippery, and you can't see the edge at a glance, which is very magnificent. Walking on such a path, there is an inexplicable sense of loneliness. People are sometimes like this, the more they are in a vast place, the more they feel their own insignificance and loneliness, like a drop in the ocean, helpless and helpless. Just like Ye Xiaoyu now, looking from a distance, it is just a small black dot moving on the vast road, as small as an ant.
Three or four villagers dressed as people walked up, pulling an empty trailer, it was estimated that they were rushing to the morning market, Ye Xiaoyu saw that they had no goods in the car, and began to return, it was estimated that the morning market was almost over, and couldn't help but speed up his pace even more.
Rushing continuously without stopping, Ye Xiaoyu felt a little dizzy, and he didn't eat breakfast this morning, so the whole person was about to collapse.
Just when Ye Xiaoyu was about to roll her eyes in prostration, she saw a towering city gate standing at the end of the road, and she could vaguely see two big characters "Yuejing" written on the city gate.
Wow!!! Finally arrived, and finally saw Yuejing when his body was about to be overdrawn, and sure enough, God still has eyes, at least let himself take a look at the city gate of Yuejing before fainting. It's like a person who has run a long marathon, and at the last moment, he has to sprint with his teeth tight, at this time, Ye Xiaoyu was also resurrected by the joy of full blood, and like a return to the light, he accelerated his pace again.
Closer and closer to the city gate, the city wall was covered with moss, the city wall was scarred, and on both sides of the towering city gate, two rows of soldiers stood neatly, checking the people who were going to enter the city. Standing in front of the city gate, Ye Xiaoyu finally witnessed the scenes described in TV and novels in her previous life for the first time, and thought that she could experience it herself, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion for a while.
