The next day, Su Jingchen went back to Tongtiandu alone and told Yu Zhi that he wanted him to help take Ah Xi home, and Yu Zhi also agreed.

Wandering, three days later, Zhao Feng accompanied Su Jingchen to the gate of Yunzhou Road again, squatting in the corner, like two begging people called Huazi, the little two in the store almost drove them away several times, and a few passers-by looked at the two of them pitifully, and even dropped a few copper leaves.

"Becoming an Immortal"

"If I had known, I would have come here to ask for food, maybe I would be able to eat enough every day." Zhao Feng sighed, with a look of regret.

Su Jingchen couldn't hold back, sneered, and then patted Zhao Feng's shoulder and said, "It's too late now." ”

"Well, too." Zhao Feng felt a little sad when he thought that as soon as Su Jingchen left today, his meal ticket would be gone.

They got up early today, and Ah Xi usually woke up at noon, so Ah Xi didn't come with them.

"Zhao Feng." Su Jingchen suddenly called his name.

"What for?" Zhao Feng turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen took out the money bag, took out two silver leaves from it, and then handed the money bag to Zhao Feng.

"You...... Wrong delivery, right? Zhao Feng was stunned and surprised, and he didn't pick up the money bag, but just said this.

"That's right," Su Jingchen put the money bag in Zhao Feng's hand, "I have already paid half a month's fixed money for the place where I live, and the remaining money should be enough for you to spend, you don't go to the casino for the rest of the next few days, buy some delicious food for Ah Xi, you and him can also change clothes." ”

Zhao Feng hesitated to take the money bag and asked, "Then, what should you do yourself?" ”

"Me?" Su Jingchen smiled, looked up and counted the clouds floating in the sky, and said softly, "Probably, you won't come back, right?" ”

"Not coming back?" Zhao Feng's voice suddenly became louder, he stood up suddenly, sat down slowly, said "oh" softly, and finally asked again, "Are you really not coming back?" ”

"Probably." Su Jingchen said.

"Then if you come back and come to Yingzhou, I will invite you to the best restaurant to drink!" Zhao Feng patted Su Jingchen's shoulder vigorously and said with a laugh.

In just three days, he seems to have regarded Su Jingchen as his best friend, and he thinks about Su Jingchen, as if he will feel at ease no matter what, his former fox friends and dog friends see his appearance, and they don't know if they will help him, but no matter what, they are not as good as Su Jingchen in any way.

Su Jingchen smiled and waved his hand, "Forget about drinking, you can invite me to eat the best food over there." ”

"It's easy to say, maybe by then, you'll also learn to drink," Zhao Feng smiled and smiled, suddenly sighed, and put his hand on Su Jingchen's shoulder, "You must come back." ”

In the distance, Xie Chao and his party were slowly walking towards this side, Su Jingchen stood up, smiled at Zhao Feng, did not answer his question, and walked over there.

"Ah Xi, I'll take care of it," Zhao Feng suddenly said loudly, "You must come back too!" ”

Su Jingchen still didn't look back, he took his bow, greeted the sun, waved his hand lightly, and left the mirage.

......

In the twelfth year of Tianfu, at the end of May.

It had been raining for three days in a row, and in the past three days, the sun had never appeared in the sky, and the low-pressure sky was overwhelming, and the rain crackled on the leaves

and on the ground, it joins into a small pond in the low-lying area, and the sound of frogs and birds is mixed with the sound of rain, which is disturbing.

Xie Chao, the leader, stepped into a puddle of water, splashing himself all over the mud, he cursed in a low voice, and then stopped and wiped the mud on his face vigorously.

"Lao Xie, what's wrong?" A voice suddenly came from behind him, it was Shen Jin, the deputy leader of the team, he used to be a centurion in the army, retired for many years, and now he is in his early forties, but his body is still full of muscles, and his kung fu has not fallen at all.

"No, no," Xie replied loudly, standing up straight and walking back onto the road, "It's just that my face was splashed with mud and I wiped it off." ”

"It's not easy to walk!" Shen Jin took two steps forward and stood beside Xie Chao, although it was not the first time he had walked Yunzhou Road, the rain still made people feel bad.

"That's right, my whole body is like being soaked in water, if it rains for two more days, I guess the big guy will not be able to withstand it." Xie Chao squinted his eyes, cut open the big leaf blocking his way with a knife, distinguishing the fork in the road that suddenly appeared in front of him, and then seemed to remember something, "That's right!" Five miles from here, there is a small village, and if the rain does not stop, we can go there first to rest, and wait for two days when the rain has stopped. ”

"Little village?" Shen Jin frowned, "I don't remember the last time I went to Fenglei Village, there was a small village on the road. ”

"It's really not," Xie Chao paused, and then said, "Because if you go to that small village and then go to Fenglei Village, you have to make a detour, and you will go more than ten miles to Fenglei Village, if it weren't for this rain, I wouldn't have taken you there." ”

Shen Jin was silent and didn't answer, as if he was thinking about something.

"How's it going?" Xie Chao turned his head and asked him.

Shen Jin raised his head and looked around, looked back at the people and horses behind him, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have to ask the boss to see what he says, I can't make a decision myself." ”

Xie Chao waved his hand, "Then you go quickly, after this road, there won't be so many villages for you to rest on the road." ”

Shen Jin turned around and walked to Feng Dao's side, whispered a few words, Feng Dao looked at the languishing expressions of the brothers around him, as well as his wrinkled hands that had already been soaked by the rain, and nodded, which was considered an agreement.

Shen Jin hurriedly trotted back to Xie Chao and told him loudly, "Let's go, old Xie, the boss agreed." ”

Xie Chao sighed and stepped into the bush on the left.

Hurrying and hurrying, Feng Dao's horse team finally arrived at this small village called Heilin before dark, and under Xie Chao's negotiations, the Miao people vacated a small stilted building for the horse team to rest.

When it was completely dark, a bonfire was lit in the room, and the men of the caravan took off their damp clothes and gathered around the fire to dry their soaked clothes.

A topless young man took out his pear-shaped wooden xun, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, he was blowing the tune of Zhongzhou, "Huaiyang Moon", this tune is ethereal and long, but it is a little moving.

The young man's skills are not exquisite, but still Su Jingchen is sitting by the fire, listening to the song quietly, he closes his eyes slightly, the firelight gently casts on his eyelashes, he hums softly with the sound of Xun, and in a trance, he feels that he is back in Huaiyang.

"Take a bite?" Xie Chao didn't know when he came to Su Jingchen's side, holding a cigarette pot and asking him.

Su Jingchen opened his eyes and saw Xie Chaona clearly

With a scorched face, he shook his head, "Thank you"

Xie Chao didn't press him, crossed his legs, took another puff of cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, and then said, "Take Yunzhou Road, if you don't rely on this thing, you may get dampness in the future, and the taste is not comfortable." ”

"You're not the first person to say this to me," Su Jingchen said with a smile, but he still didn't pick up Xie Chao's smoking pot, "It doesn't have to be a few days to get damp, right?" Don't look at me thin, I haven't had any diseases since I was a child. ”

Xie Chao glanced at him, and suddenly became serious, "This has little to do with whether the body is strong or not, in the weather of Yunzhou, you are a strong person, and it will have an impact if you stay for a long time, besides, the miasma in Yunzhou is worth your life." ”

He was very curious about Su Jingchen, except for the thunder tooth, Su Jingchen had a calmness, almost terrible calmness, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy actually dared to go to Yunzhou alone, but he was not like those rich sons who came to Yunzhou to "see the world", those sons of rich families generally only go to the mirage, and then squander their money there, and then return to Zhongzhou, luckily, after losing all the money on his body, a large part of it will stay in Yunzhou until death, like Zhao Feng, There are very few people who meet the fleet that is willing to take them back.

"Look at you like this, you don't look like the son of a rich family," Xie Chao groped out the tobacco from his body, added it to the smoking gun, and then slowly spoke, "What are you trying to do when you come to Yunzhou?" ”

"I don't know," Su Jingchen shook his head slightly, "It's the ...... that was given to me."

Xie Chao suddenly poked him with his elbow and coughed lightly.

Su Jingchen reacted immediately, and changed his words, "It's Mr. Xie, who asked me to go south." ”

"Mr. Xie?" A thin man beside Su Jingchen suddenly spoke, laughed and said, "Could it be that you said Lao Xie?" It's the first time I've heard someone call Mr. Lao Xie. ”

The people around him also laughed, Xie Chao scolded twice, and said loudly, "He's not the Lao Tzu he said!" Can you listen well? ”

"Isn't it?" It was a lean man who seemed to be a little disappointed, and he had lost another reason to make fun of Xie Chao.

Xie Chao has been walking Yunzhou Road for more than ten years, and he is also one of the few people who are still alive after walking Yunzhou Road for more than ten years, and the others either do not return to Yunzhou after making a few sums of money, or die on Yunzhou Road, only Xie Chao has been safe and sound for so many years, many people say that he is favored by the gods and lucky, and some people say that he learned the Gu art of those Miao people and used something to block the disaster on his body.

But Xie Chao never explained, he just led the way for people year after year, and when he made money, he went back to the mirage to squander, and when he ran out of money, he went to help others lead the way.

The map of Yunzhou has long been memorized in his mind.

"No," Su Jingchen replied, "How can I say it, Mr. Xie, it's a ...... He is a mysterious person, and I always feel that he has some secrets hidden in him. ”

"Then look at me, do you see what secrets I have hidden in me?" The lean man spoke again, his real name had even been forgotten by himself, but he was as thin as a monkey, everyone called him Monkey, he looked a lot younger than Xie Chao, but in fact, he had been walking Yunzhou Road for four or five years, and he could be regarded as a veteran.

"I can't see it." Su Jingchen shook his head solemnly.

There was another burst of laughter around, and the guys around were chatting like this, and before they knew it, the night was already deep.
