In the afternoon, Li Jiang and the others bid farewell to Li Lao, and then got into the carriage and left Xianyang City.

A group of six people, Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu sat in the carriage, Zhao Gao and Mu Qi rode horses, the horseman drove the carriage, and the entourage sat on the side, as time passed, at night, everyone sat by the fire, because there was no place to stay, everyone could only spend the night in the wild.

Zhao Gao took the water and dry food and handed it to Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu and said, "Eat some." ”

Li Jiang took the dry food and water, then handed some to Meng Jiangnu, and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, hurry up and eat some, don't be hungry." ”

"It's really a blessing for Jiang Er, who wants to sleep with me." Meng Jiangnu took the water and dry food handed by Li Jiang, and said after combing Li Jiang's somewhat messy hair.

"What's the matter, I think it's good to do this, I came to Xianyang City by myself, I rarely go out, I've been bored for a long time, now it's a good opportunity to come out, I still have a thank you Sister Meng." Li Jiang said to Meng Jiangnu with a smile.

"Jiang'er, if you said it earlier, I would have taken you out to play." Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's words and said with a doting face.

"I remembered, remember to take me out next time." Li Jiang said with a hearty face.

Everyone talked and laughed around the fire, no compliments, no intrigue, I don't know how long it took, Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu both returned to the carriage to rest, the groom and the entourage took turns to keep vigil on the side, and Zhao Gao and Mu Qi sat next to the fire.

After a long time, Zhao Gao moved the fire of the fire, and then said slowly: "How is it?" Feeling better? ”

"......" Mu Qi did not answer Zhao Gao's words.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao continued: "It's not that I care about you, I just can't see Jiang Er thinking about your tea and dinner, you are now worshipping in Loei, Jiang Er has already helped you as your own family, your every move will affect her, Jiang Er is kind-hearted, and she will not let you go." ”

"I know." After a long time, Mu Qicai slowly spoke: "I will deal with it as soon as possible, and I won't let Senior Sister worry anymore." ”

"There are some things that don't have to be hidden in the bottom of your heart, and there may be a better way to solve them by saying them." Zhao Gao stared at Mu Qi, although Mu Qi had no expression on his face, but the emotions in his eyes, Zhao Gao could see it clearly.

"......" Mu Qi listened to Zhao Gao's words, and after thinking about it the most, he said, "It's my father." ”

"Heh~ I knew it was him." Zhao Gao listened to Mu Qi's words, and he was even more sure of what he had guessed in his heart.

"Yesterday, my father sent someone to summon me back to the house, and I was not allowed to learn carpentry again, so I secretly escaped by climbing over the wall." Mu Qi said slowly, thinking of the embarrassment that he had climbed over the wall from the house yesterday, and his father's angry face, Mu Qi was silent again.

"It is the expectation of every older generation that the son inherits the father's business." Zhao Gao said.

"But I don't like business, I only like carpenter's trade, and I don't have a business mind." Mu Qi listened to Zhao Gao's words and retorted.

"So, you left Xianyang City with us today, you are escaping." Zhao Gao looked at Mu Qi, although there was still a smile on his face, but there was no smile at all, Zhao Gao continued: "Do you think that if you leave, it will be solved?" Are you planning to never return to Xianyang City? Never see your father again? ”

"......" Mu Qi listened to Zhao Gao's words and understood the problem Zhao Gao said, and he was indeed avoiding the problem now.

"Think about it yourself, and when you go back to Xianyang City, make a good decision, and don't let the people who care about you worry anymore." After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he stood up and left, leaving Muqi to sit alone by the fire, not moving.

On the second day, the morning sun covered the earth, Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu got down from the carriage, Li Jiang stretched his waist, his whole body was a little sore, Zhao Gao saw Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu getting off the carriage, so he stepped forward and said, "Get up, sleep well." ”

"It's good." Li Jiang said with a smile.

At this time, Mu Qi walked over, handed a bag of water to Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu, and then said with a gentle face: "Wash up, I picked some fruits, and I'll eat some later." ”

"Okay." Li Jiang looked at Mu Qi with a gentle face, and was curious in his heart, he still looked preoccupied yesterday, why did he become the same as before overnight? Has the matter been settled? No matter what, Li Jiang looked at Mu Qi, who was the same as on weekdays, and was very happy in his heart.

Seeing the happy smile on Li Jiang's face, Zhao Gao also looked doting, it seems that what he said last night had an effect, and Mu Qi is still a teachable person.

The atmosphere in the morning was jubilant, which made everyone's mood extremely comfortable, everyone dressed up from the hair, along the way, Li Jiang looked out of the window, and the mood was infinitely good.

Zhao Gao saw that Li Jiang always poked his head out of the window, so he rode forward and said, "Jiang'er, if you like the scenery outside, do you want to come out and ride with me?" ”

Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, and originally wanted to happily agree, but when he saw Meng Jiangnu sitting next to him, he shook his head and refused: "Ah Gao, no need, I'll sit in the carriage with Sister Meng." ”

"Jiang'er, you go, I'll stay alone." Meng Jiangnu looked at Li Jiang and obviously wanted to go out, but because she didn't go out, she immediately replied with a smile.

"No, no, I'll just stay in the carriage." After listening to Meng Jiangnu's words, Li Jiang still shook his head and refused.

Zhao Gao didn't say much when he saw this, but said, "If you want to come out, call me." ”

"Yes, okay." Li Jiang said with a smile at Zhao Gao, and then suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhao Gao, "Where can we get to Brother Meng in a few days?" ”

"Not surprisingly, it should take a little more than two days to build the nearest node of the Great Wall." Zhao Gao thought for a while and replied.

"Where will Brother Montem be waiting for us?" Li Jiang continued to ask.

"Before leaving Xianyang City, I had already left Lao Meng and asked him to wait for us there, we arrived, and Lao Meng should have arrived." Zhao Gao continued to reply.

"I don't know if Sister Meng's husband will come with me when the time comes." Hearing Zhao Gao say where Meng Tian would wait, Li Jiang said happily, I hope Sister Meng and her husband can meet.

"Probably so." Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's question, his face was still doting, but he didn't give Li Jiang a positive answer, Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang who was excited, and said with a smile: "Stick your head back, and in another hour, let's find a place to rest." ”

"Okay." Originally, Li Jiang wanted to continue to ask something, but after listening to Zhao Gao's words, he obediently lowered the curtain of the carriage and sat back in the carriage.

Zhao Gao watched Li Jiang return to the carriage, and continued to walk with Mu Qi, who was silent for a long time before asking, "Do you think he is dead or alive?" ”

Zhao Gao naturally knew who Mu Qi was talking about, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and said, "Who is he you talking about?" ”

"......" Mu Qi listened to Zhao Gao's words, knew that Zhao Gao was ridiculing himself, Mu Qi knew that Zhao Gao was a thoughtful person, and his own mind should have been seen through by him a long time ago, Mu Qi continued to speak: "You know who I am talking about. ”

"Do you care about him, or do you care about the people in the carriage?" Zhao Gao continued.

"I just want her to be happy." Murch replied.

"Perhaps, you still have hope, haven't you not lifted your hijab yet? That shows that the ceremony still hasn't come to fruition. Zhao Gao said suddenly.

"What I'm missing is time, I'm late." Mu Qi looked at the carriage in front of her and said, "I just hope that the hope in her heart is not shattered." ”

"It was only written on the note, I found it, come to the Great Wall." Zhao Gao told Mu Qi the contents of the letter and asked him to think for himself.

The words in Meng Tian's letter make people not know whether people are dead or alive, but Zhao Gao and Meng Tian have been friends for many years, and when they saw this letter, they knew that there was more luck and less luck.

"Is it bad luck?" Mu Qi looked at Zhao Gao and said in guess.

"With my understanding of Lao Meng, that's right." Zhao Gao truthfully informed Mu Qi.

Mu Qi didn't say anything more when he heard it, in fact, he followed, first, to avoid the problem, and secondly, because of Meng Jiangnu, in fact, even if Zhao Gao didn't say it, everyone knew it in their hearts, but no one wanted to crush a person's hope, that would be too cruel.

After the carriage drove for an hour, Zhao Gao found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to stop and rest, Li Jiang and Meng Jiangnu got out of the carriage, looking at the beautiful scenery, and were in a good mood.

Zhao Gao approached Li Jiang and said with a smile: "There must be game in this forest, I'll take you to hunt game." ”

"It's too dangerous." On the side, Mu Qi listened to Zhao Gao's words, frowned and said.

"It's okay, I hunt a lot of game." Zhao Gao still smiled and said to Li Jiang: "Jiang'er, do you want to go?" ”

Hearing the game, Li Jiang was already ready to move, and when he heard Zhao Gao ask himself, he immediately replied: "Go." ”

"So I'll go collect some firewood." Meng Jiangnu saw Li Jiang's excited face, so she spoke.

"Okay, Sister Meng, you wait for me and Ah Gao to get you some delicious food." Li Jiang said excitedly.

"Let's go." Zhao Gao took Li Jiang to hunt game with a doting face.

Meng Jiangnu looked at the backs of the two leaving, and said softly, "Be careful." ”

"I'll go with you to collect firewood." Seeing this, Mu Qi on the side said to Meng Jiangnu.

"Okay." Meng Jiangnu nodded.

Mu Qi and Meng Jiangnu picked up firewood, the two did not speak for a while, the atmosphere was a little quiet, Mu Qi looked at Meng Jiangnu's figure, and suddenly asked: "If it is ......"

"Huh?" Meng Jiangnu turned to look at Mu Qi with a questioning expression.

Mu Qi stopped, looked at Meng Jiangnu quietly, and said slowly for a long time: "I want to ask, if you don't see your husband when you go to the Great Wall, you will ......" Mu Qi said, and did not continue.

"Didn't Jiang Er say that General Meng had already found her husband? How could it not be? Meng Jiangnu said with a smile.

"......" Mu Qi listened to Meng Jiangnu's words, his hand held the firewood tightly, and he said for a long time: "If it is, what if the person is already dead?" The moment Mu Qi said his words, he didn't know why, and suddenly felt that his heart was much more relaxed, as if he was not so depressed.
