After grinding for a long time, Gao Shun still didn't leave, and said hesitantly: "Wei Yan...... That one...... It's time for you to give me back my books. ”

Wei Yan reluctantly took out Sun Tzu's Art of War and returned it to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun happily took the book, checked it carefully, and then put it in his arms.

"Brother, I'm going too." Qingqing tugged at the corner of Gao Shun's clothes and looked up at him pitifully.

"Sister, it's too far to go to the city, you wait at home, we'll be back soon." Gao Shun coaxed his sister.

"No, no, I haven't been to the city yet." Qingqing pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Brother Wei Yan~" Seeing that his brother was unmoved, Qingqing looked at Wei Yan with a blank eye.

"This little Lori is really ......," Wei Yan was speechless for a while.

It's really impossible to harden your heart in the face of a beautiful little Lori, not to mention a sensible and well-behaved little Lori like Qingqing.

The three of them hit the road.

Speaking of which, Weijia Village is not far from the city, it is only forty miles away, and it is only forty miles away, and it will be there in an hour and a half, but the three of them are strictly speaking children, especially Qingqing, who has short legs, and is not as fast as an adult when he runs.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the three of them had only walked half the way, and although Qingqing didn't say anything, she was obviously tired of walking.

"That's not going to work, even if you get to the city at this speed, it's hard to get home before dark." Wei Yan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked around.

"Alas, there are cars." Suddenly, Wei Yan shouted excitedly, and a carriage was driving in this direction.

It was an uncovered cart with some firewood on it, and it seemed that the nearby mountain people had chopped firewood and wanted to pull it to the city to sell.

"Uncle, uncle, give us a ride." Wei Yan waved vigorously towards the carriage.

"Pilot~" The coachman pulled the reins of the horse, and the carriage slowly stopped in front of the three people.

The coachman is a middle-aged man in his thirties, who has dark skin because of the perennial wind and sun, but his body is very strong.

"Kid, where are you going?" The coachman asked.

"Let's go into town." Wei Yan said.

"Which village are you from, and where are the adults in your family?" The coachman continued.

This is not to blame the coachman for being verbose, after all, Wei Yan and Gao Shun are only thirteen or fourteen years old, while Qingqing is even younger, and he looks like he is about ten years old.

"We are from Weijia Village and want to go into the city to buy something." Wei Yan replied.

The coachman looked at a few more people, and then said, "Come up." ”

"Alas, thank you, uncle." Wei Yan hurriedly thanked him.

"Ao~ There is a car to sit in." Qingqing cheered.

Gao Shun carried his sister into the carriage first, and then climbed up himself, and Wei Yan sat next to the coachman.

"What's your name, kid?" The coachman asked.

"My name is Wei Yan," Wei Yan first said his name, and then pointed to Gao Shun and Qingqing and introduced, "This is Gao Shun, this is Qingqing, we are all from Weijia Village." ”

"I'm from Wangjiagou, my name is Wang San, you can call me Uncle Wang." Wang San chatted with Wei Yan for a few words, and he also got acquainted.

"Alas, let's call the third uncle, call the third uncle kind." Wei Yan said.

"Haha, you kid...... Okay, let's call the third uncle, the third uncle is happy, I can't let you call in vain, wait until you finish shopping, come to the third uncle, and the third uncle will pull you back. Wang Sanle said hehehe.

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Wei Yan's mouth was as if he had been smeared with honey.

"Thank you...... Third uncle. Although Gao Shun looks rough, his skin is not as thick as Wei Yan's.

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Qingqing heard that she could take a car when she came back, not to mention how happy she was.

"What a good boy, don't run around in the future, what a mess it has been these days." Wang San reminded.

"Knowing the third uncle, we just want to go to the city to buy something, and take a look at the city by the way." Wei Yan said.

"What are you going to buy? I know you better than you in the city, so I might be able to point you out. ”

"We want to buy some hunting tools."

"Your lord is Orion? How can you little ones come out and buy these things? What nonsense. Wang San seemed to be a little dissatisfied with their family.

"Third uncle, you misunderstood, we wanted to hunt ourselves." Wei Yan explained.

"What? Yourselves? Wang San thought he had misheard.

"Hmm." Wei Yan nodded.

"Hunting is too dangerous, and you're too young to be afraid of letting wild beasts eat you?" Wang San frowned.

"We're not afraid." This time, it was Gao Shun who took the initiative to interject.

Wang San glanced at this honest young man in surprise.

"yes, we don't want to go hungry anymore." Wei Yanwei added.

"Alas, the way of this world!" Wang San also thought that these three children must not be able to live a life, so they thought about hunting.

"Hunting isn't as easy as you think." Wang San sighed, in the troubled times, there were too many children with lonely backgrounds, and he couldn't help much, so he could only persuade more.

"Third uncle, don't worry, as long as we can hunt a few pheasants and hares, we will be satisfied." Wei Yan said.

Talk about it along the way, and soon a city will appear in front of you.

Jiuyuan City is a county under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County, located north of the Great Wall, which is already considered a grassland area.

There is only this one city within a radius of several hundred miles, and the people can only go here to buy supplies for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are often Huns and Xianbei people who come here to do business, so this place is not only not desolate, but also very lively at ordinary times.

Jiuyuan is neither a county town nor a military town, so the city wall is not high, only five or six meters long, and can only be used to resist ordinary horse thieves.

"Brother, there are a lot of people here." Qingqing looked curiously at the pedestrians coming and going.

"What is this, Yunzhong County is lively." Wang San said.

"The third uncle has also been to Yunzhong County?" Wei Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, my horse was sick last year, and the veterinarians in Jiuyuan City couldn't cure it, so I had to go to Yunzhong County. Yunzhong County is worthy of being a county town, tsk ......" Wang San fell into memory.

"Has the third uncle been to Luoyang?" Wei Yan asked again.

"Luoyang? That's the capital of the Han Dynasty! It's too far, I'm afraid the third uncle won't have a chance to go to Luoyang in his life. Wang San shook his head.

"What are you doing in Luoyang? Do you still want to go to Luoyang? After a while, Wang San asked.

"No, I'm just asking." Wei Yan said this, but in his heart he was thinking that sooner or later he would go to Luoyang to have a look.

"Let's go, go into the city, and wait for the third uncle to sell firewood and accompany you to buy things, so as not to be deceived, there are no more liars in the city than in the countryside."

"Great, thank you Third Uncle." Wei Yan was overjoyed.

Wang San drove the carriage and slowly entered Jiuyuan City.

At the gate of Jiuyuan City, there were a few soldiers who were listless to maintain order, as long as they didn't make trouble, they wouldn't embarrass others.

After all, in the bitter cold land of Shuobei, the people are fierce, and one accidentally provokes the second stunned person who may lead to death.
