The fifth day after leaving Anlan Academy.

Pucao squatted on the ground softly, unable to stand up for a long time.

I ate a few pills of the detoxification pill given by Mr. Jin, but it stopped for a while, if it goes on like this, let alone the Great Snow Mountain, it will be a big life if you can get out of Dingfeng Prefecture.

Before the temporary, Mr. Huo forgot to wrap up, Pucao was a young man, and his face was thin, so he felt that he could walk to the Snow Mountain with his feet, so he hurried every day in the early morning and evening, and found a shady place to rest when the sun came out, and found a broken temple and deserted house with no one to rest in the middle of the night. The weather is too hot, the sun at that time is so hot that people can't stand it, and the body of Pucao Jiuyang is already heavy, so it stops and goes, and it is only three hundred miles.

It's not a problem to live, you can spend one night anywhere, the teenager has the benefits of being a teenager, and then you wake up tired, and you are alive again. Pu Cao lived alone in a grass hut by the river when he was more than three episodes, and he was bold and big, and he slept soundly at night. Mr. Jin said that there are no ghosts in the world, and people disappear when they die, like dead leaves turning into mud, and life is a one-way cycle. Mr. Huo also said that ghosts are not terrible, the most terrible thing is the human heart, even if there are really ghosts, they can't compete with the hearts of the wicked. Pucao remembers all these words.

The line is not too much of a problem, from Jing to Long, all the way to the west, on the way to pass through eleven states, as long as you avoid the war-torn place, three months can reach, these trips have been carefully calculated before, along the way to ask for directions.

The first priority is to eat. In order to avoid trouble, most of the grass chooses some paths, diameters, often walk for half a day and can not see a figure, all rely on catching some game and digging out some bird eggs to satisfy the stomach, no oil and no salt is very light, and then it is not to pick some wild fruits and wild mushrooms, hungry for a full meal.

Half an hour ago, Pucao, who was dizzy with hunger, saw that there were several wild fruit trees in the dense forest on the side of the road, hanging with fruits the size of yellow and yellow fists.

In less than a stick of incense, Pucao's stomach began to hurt, and an irrepressible gushing sensation went down from the lower abdomen, eager to come out and meet the world. Pucao slipped down from the tree with his hands and feet, untied his belt as he ran, and squatted on the grass not far away to pull it happily.

In the next half hour, Pucao changed six places to diarrhea, dizziness, back pain, and numb legs like 10,000 insects and ants.

After swallowing the antidote pill and slowing down for a while, Pu Cao felt that he had picked up half his life, hid his luggage, and bent his waist to find a tree to lean on, thinking that he couldn't move for half a day.

In less than a cup of tea, I saw two men in cloth walking towards Pucao from a distance.

"Hey, boy, how to get to Shazhi City." One of them had tattoos all over his neck, and he asked Pucao for directions at the top of his throat.

"I'm sorry, this big brother, I'm also in a hurry, and I'm not familiar with the way to Shazhi City." Pu Cao saw that the two of them were not good people, and he didn't want to be verbose.

"It's really fucking unlucky, I finally met someone after walking for a long time, and I don't know the way to Shazhi City. I said Seventh Brother, why did the eldest brother send me to do this trip, how happy it is to stay in the mountains on such a hot day. Damn, when we get to Shazhi City, we have to find a kiln to take a bath and drink some cold old wine, I don't know what a woman looks like for more than half a year. This time I came out, I resolutely didn't rush to do things, I had to touch it first, and let my brothers smell my hands when I went back, hahahaha. Another long-faced man with an evil light in his eyes complained as he wiped his sweat from the placket of his clothes.

"Shut your stinky mouth, what else can you have in your head besides women and wine? If you go on a business trip, it's no wonder that Big Brother doesn't skin you. The tattooed man slapped the long-faced man on the head, "Walk a few more miles to see if you can meet someone, mother, you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to be happy, you don't know the temper of the eldest brother, it's easy to say anything when things are done, and if things are not done well, there is no good fruit for us to eat." ”

The two looked at Pu Cao a few times, and saw that Pu Cao had no long things on his body, and he wore a firewood knife at his waist, which was no different from an ordinary firewood boy.

Pu Cao observed the backs of the two and saw that there was a long strip bulging at the waist of the two of them, which should be a sharp weapon or something. Pu Cao secretly thought that it was good that he had hidden the wrenched chief and his bags in the grass before, and he couldn't say that these two people wanted to do it to themselves.

Judging from the breath of the two just now, it is slightly stronger than the average strong man, and he should not have cultivated any advanced martial arts, in case something happens, with An Lan's striking skills, he may not be able to beat the two of them when he fights, but at the moment, he is weak and weak, and it is estimated that he will lose more and win less. When you are away from home, it is better to have more than one thing, and it is good to go.

Pu Cao saw that there was a lot of ash stuck to the grass on his body, and he planned to find a place with water to take off his clothes and wash them.

Wait until the sun is thin, the heat has faded a lot, the strength of the grass has also recovered, take the bag and go forward, find a pond, take off the clothes and plunge into it, the water on the top is a little hot, and then it is very cool to go deeper, the pond is not big, the grass swims back and forth a few times under the potential water, touches a few muddy fish, and then will be grilled to eat, and dinner is to deal with a meal.

There was still a little afterglow on the horizon, and the nocturnal bats began to make noise, circling and flying around, and the flowery dragonflies found the branches to perch on, and hibernate motionlessly, and the sound of mosquitoes and flies fluttering around in their ears, and a few toads jumped in front of the grass with their eyes puffed out.

Pu Cao held a firewood knife in one hand and clothes in the other, wanting to cry without tears, feeling that he was a fool.

When I just rubbed my clothes, Pu Cao felt that the clothes were a little creaky, and I opened it to see that there was a small cloth bag sewn with thread at the placket of the belt around the waist, three fingers wide, and Pu Cao opened it to see, it was all neatly folded silver tickets.

It should have been sewn by Mr. Huo before leaving, the stitches were uneven, and at a glance, it was clear that the sewing person usually did not do needlework.

The silver tickets are all the big tickets of one thousand taels exchanged by Wanshun Qianzhuang, most of which have been eroded by water, and only the two or three in the innermost part are still complete, and the rest have been blurred. Pu Cao hurriedly took out the innermost silver ticket and carefully spread it on the ground to dry, as long as the seal and amount were complete, it could probably still be used.

I'm so stupid, how could Mr. Huo forget to entangle me. For the Great Grandmaster of the Nian Realm, money is the easiest to earn, and it doesn't look at when An Lan has been short of money.

If I hadn't pinned the knife to my waist every time, I would have found this cloth bag.

Mr. Huo is really, silver is a small matter in your eyes, but it is a big thing in my eyes, won't you say it, these days of bitterness have been in vain.

Pu Cao thought about it for a while, and became happy again, if you have money, you can take a car and live in a hotel to eat mountain delicacies, dragon liver and phoenix gall.

The black boy tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed, feeling kind when he looked at the toad.

In the middle of the night, the city of sand stops.

Today, on the fifteenth day, the moon is round and big, and the sky above Shazhi City is like a cold lamp, covering this small city with a layer of tulle, hazy, and hazy, with a different kind of beauty.

The two figures were stretched out by the moonlight, constantly drilling back and forth in the backlit alley, and the shadows became intermittent. Shazhi City has been under a temporary curfew since last month, and there is no token issued by the city lord's mansion at night, and walking on the streets at night is to be arrested. Look at these two people looking for a dark place to hide, not like the small people who returned late.

The two figures turned around and stopped at the gate of a large mansion. Two stone lion sculptures at the door of the house, six rows of copper door nails on the vermilion lacquer door, there is a bolted horse stone not far away, two doors are opened on the wall, one large and one small, the door is closed, the side door is half open, the plaque of "Ji Fu" is hung on the door, four lanterns are carried on the side, and two servants yawn and lean on the side of the door post to watch the night.

Last month, there were flying thieves in Shazhi City, and many valuables of large families were stolen, and the city captain of Shazhi City searched for more than half a month but had no clues, so he had to ask for a curfew in the city lord's mansion and arrange a large number of people to patrol at night.

"Is this the case?" A figure confirms to his companion.

"There is only one big family surnamed Ji in Shazhicheng, who used to be an official in the capital, and returned to the ancestral land after Zhishi, and the family business is prosperous. It's not in the center of the city, it meets the requirements of the eldest brother, damn it, you can do it. ”

"That's fine, that's it."

The two went around to the side wall, and one of them took out a piece of coarse charcoal from his bosom in the moonlight, and drew a "nine" on a green brick in the corner of the side wall.

"Let's go, come back tomorrow during the day to find out the way."

On the second day, before the city gate was opened, Pucao and the donkeys and horses of the cart carrying vegetables pushed and pushed and pushed together and queued at the gate.

Shazhicheng is the only place to go west in Dingfeng Prefecture, more than 20 miles to the west from Shazhicheng, it is the boundary of Wanli Prefecture of Jingguo, Shazhicheng is the largest city between Dingfeng Prefecture and Wanli Prefecture, it is more prosperous than ordinary small cities, and there are countless cross-state merchants who come and go every day.

The road to enter the city was extremely long, and some merchants spontaneously formed caravans with many carriages and horses, occupying a large position, and after the opening of the city, the officers and men checked the contraband carefully, so it was extremely slow to let people into the city.

When the sun made Pucao's scalp hot, it was his turn, the gatekeeper first looked at the bag and didn't find any problems, the firewood knife was not a rare thing, but he grabbed the Hangan and asked for a long time, Pucao spent a long time talking to the guard of the door can't tell clearly, and in the end he still took out the wooden sign of Anlan Academy to pass, Anlan's signboard is still very good in Jingguo.

Pu Cao pulled for a long time during the day yesterday, and after a few fish were roasted at night, the skin was scorched, and there were not a few pieces of good meat left, and the hungry chest was attached to the back, and with the silver ticket in his hand, he thought about coming to Shazhicheng to have a good meal. I didn't know that the city gate would have to be delayed for such a long time, and when the sun broke, I felt that I might faint from hunger at any time.

After entering the city gate, I found a small stall at random, ordered two bowls of beef noodles, and ordered two more bowls after eating, thinking that I finally had a full meal. got up to check out, but was chased by the stall owner's father and daughter for half a street.

Whoever eats eight-sided silver noodles and checks the bill with a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, the stall owner's father and daughter think that Pucao eats white food, the father holds a meat cleaver, and the daughter holds a rolling pin, chasing Pucao to beat this white eater.

Pu Cao said a good thing to stop the father and daughter twisted their thoughts of sending themselves to the official, and repeatedly promised to go to the money village to redeem the silver to settle the bill, the stall owner was afraid that Pu Cao would run, so he personally followed Pu Cao to Wanshun Money Village.

Pucao enters the city from the south gate, and Wanshun Qianzhuang is in the east street of the city, and there is a good distance between them. After walking for a short time, a caravan came in front, and the bells of the caravan entering the city behind also rang non-stop, and the streets of Shazhicheng were not wide, and the convoy drove its cars to avoid both sides, and even moved to both sides with pedestrians to make way for the convoy.

"Damn, you kid doesn't have long eyes, uncle, I bought new shoes in the city." Pu Cao is not familiar with the city, and is staring at the caravan of carriages and horses, so as not to knock on himself, and step on a passer-by without leaving a foot, Pu Cao looked up, coincidentally, isn't this the long-faced man he met yesterday.
