The convoy walked around the high mountains, scurrying through the lofty mountains, bringing some vitality to this dull and dead mountain. In fact, this road is not a road, it is just a war road for transporting war materials during the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Tubo was divided into many small tribes, their strength was greatly reduced, and they did not have the ability to invade the Central Plains. Without the war, this road would be considered deserted, and now there are few people walking, and it has been overgrown with wild grass, but fortunately, it is still quite smooth, although there are some small potholes, it does not hinder the ox cart from traveling.

Being in this tall mountainous area, Liu Yongcai has a natural sense of closeness, which can't help but remind him of the mountains and rivers of his hometown.

"Hey! I don't know how my parents and sister are doing. Thinking of this, I became sad for a while.

Ma Miaozhen heard Liu Yong's long sigh and asked, "Brother Yong, what's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable there? Liu Yong smiled bitterly: "No, I'm just a little homesick." Unexpectedly, this sentence made Ma Miaozhen laugh. said: "Oh, you still let me go home, look at yourself, you've only been away for three days and you're homesick." It's really useless, it's a shame. ”

Liu Yong smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "I want to go home, but I can't go back." ”

Seeing that Liu Yong ignored her, Ma Miaozhen also became silent, as if she was really a little homesick.

After walking for more than an hour, it was finally time to get around the mountain. The mountains in front of me have also become low. At this time, the convoy was still on a high ground, and as far as the eye could see, the rolling mountains were in full view. And the hearts of men were also bold.

Liu Yong's homesickness and depression were also swept away with the broadening of his horizons, and in front of him was his ambition to make a career in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Ahh This exclamation was made by Ma Miaozhen. As a plain man, there is no chance of being condescending. At this time, the convoy was on the next slope, and she and Liu Yong stood at the highest point, with the worm-like wriggling convoy at their feet.

"I've never stood so high and looked down, it's so beautiful." Ma Miaozhen expressed the sigh in her chest.

"Why don't you write a poem?" Liu Yong deliberately teased her.

Ma Miaozhen smiled mysteriously and said in a coquettish voice: "What? You don't think I will. I've been reading poetry since I was a child. ”

"Then I'll listen to you." Liu Yong smiled.

Ma Miaozhen looked around, looking at the magnificent mountains in front of her, and a poem suddenly appeared in her heart. Leisurely chanted: "The mountains are like waves, and the heart is like a blue bird." Such as the intestinal mountain path is like a turn, swinging thoughts floating in the spring night. ”

"Good poetry!" Liu Yongzan said.

"No, I've never written poetry." In the face of Liu Yong's praise, Ma Miaozhen was very ashamed. However, the longing for love in her poems is still unmistakable.

This Liu Yong can naturally hear it.

"Why don't Brother Yong also chant a poem?" Ma Miaozhen said.

"Ah, me, forget the poem, I know it, but it knows me." Liu Yong said with a grin.

"I think Brother Yong is modest." Ma Miaozhen said.

Liu Yong thought to himself, if the Song Dynasty was in front of the Tang Dynasty, I would be able to bluff her even if I came to a song of Li Bai's silent night thoughts. But how can the literary level of the Song Dynasty reach the pinnacle in history, and there is no one before or since, so I don't want to be ugly in this world of writers. Besides, I really don't know how to recite poetry, even limericks.

"I don't want to be ugly in front of you, a talented woman. Let's keep up with the convoy. With that, Liu Yong beat his horse down the hill. Ma Miaozhen was prosperous, but Liu Yong broke the cold water, but she had to follow.

When I went down to the mountains, I still walked through the mountains, but they were all low mountains.

Soon, Ma Miaozhen felt hungry.

"Brother Yong, I'm hungry." She said directly to Liu Yong.

"Who told you not to eat bread?" Liu Yong said coldly, but he didn't want to go in his heart, a girl from someone followed him, how could he not take care of others. Then he changed his words and said, "Miss Ma, in this way, let's go down the mountain and see if there are any wild fruits to eat, okay?" ”

Ma Miaozhen immediately clapped her hands and said, "Okay, good." ”

Liu Yong said to a small guy and asked him to tell the convoy to go slower. Then they tied their horses to the side of the road and went up the hill.

Liu Yong walked in front, and Ma Miaozhen followed. There was a small steep slope in front, Liu Yong climbed up first, but Ma Miaozhen couldn't go up, and stretched out a slender hand like green jade for Liu Yong to pull her.

This is a good thing to learn from Lei Feng, I can't help but do it, I immediately grabbed Ma Miaozhen's soft little hand and pulled her up, but Ma Miaozhen fell into Liu Yong's arms, ** again and again. made Liu Yong's heart ape. He hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go up and have a look." ”

"Then Brother Yong will take my hand and go, I'm walking too slowly."

Faced with Ma Miaozhen's request, Liu Yong had to agree to her, so he took her little hand and walked in front. Ma Miaozhen in the back couldn't stop laughing.

"Huh? Miss Ma, look over there, isn't it a fruit tree? Liu Yong pointed to a yellow and beautiful forest in the upper right and said.

"Oh, that's loquat. Let's get over there. Ma Miaozhen saw that the food was in front.

Liu Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that she is really hungry." ”

When they arrived at the loquat tree, the hungry Ma Miaozhen picked one and ate it.

"Ah, it's so sweet!" As he spoke, he picked another one and gave it to Liu Yong, "Brother Yong, you can taste it too." It's really sweet. ”

Liu Yong took it and put it in his mouth and took a bite, it was indeed very sweet. I couldn't help but pick a few more and feast on them. In this way, it was not until Ma Miaozhen touched her belly that she said that she was full, and the two of them went down the mountain.

I got on my horse, caught up with the convoy, and the sun set.

In the distance, smoke curls in the mountain col, as if there is a village. Liu Yong hurriedly asked Liu Qiang to set up a horse to investigate. After a while, Liu Qiang came back and replied: "Liu Guanren, there is indeed a village in front, I have already agreed with the village guard, give them some money to free up a few houses for us to live in." ”

"There's Brother Lao Liu." Liu Yonggong arched his hand, "Then we will repair it all night tonight, and then we won't buy a few chickens and ducks in the village, and we will eat wine in the evening." ”

These men, as long as they hear about eating and drinking, they are excited, and Liu Qiang is the same, he immediately nodded excitedly in agreement. Some of the little guys who heard the words cheered, and they almost knelt down and called Liu Yong a great god.

When we arrived in the village, the sun set. It is a small village with only about 20 households. A potholed street runs through the village. Most of the villages are thatched and bamboo huts, and it looks like a poor village, but seeing chickens, ducks and geese roaming leisurely around on the road and in people's yards, it doesn't seem to be a village short of food.

The villagers had never seen such a large-scale ox convoy before, and they all stood in front of the courtyard gate and watched.

At this time, the old village guard greeted him.
