Volume II

Chen Yi sat in a sedan chair, followed the transport convoy of clothes, and slowly and leisurely left his nominal home, Lin Mansion, and also left the bustling town that he was familiar with and unfamiliar with.

When the sedan chair walked out of the gate of the town, Miss Su and Chen Yi finally fell down with a sense of relief with the stone hanging in their hearts, about the time of two teas out of the town, the sedan chair had an obvious sense of bump, the space in the sedan chair was originally very small, in this crowded space just enough to sit two people, in a bump almost hugged each other.

"I'm sorry" Chen Yi's words had just been spoken, the sedan chair swayed from side to side, and Chen Yi almost touched his head on Miss Su's proud chest.

Chen Yi hurriedly lifted the sedan curtain and resolved the embarrassment just now. Miss Su also lifted the sedan curtain on the other side and looked at the scenery outside the curtain.

Watch as the road outside the town follows the valley and weaves through the pine forest, spiraling and twisting like a light-colored ribbon around the mountains like firelight. The air is very fresh, and the earth where I lived in my previous life was polluted by industrialization, so I can breathe such good air.

The road outside the sedan chair is not particularly wide, about the width of two carriages, the road is winding, because it is nearly November, the road is paved with golden maple leaves, this winding avenue, like an endless long fiery red rope, winding around the valley, crossing the valley, has been disappearing in the distant sky.

I have to admire the concentration of the ancients, the cushion under the buttocks, hard, it is very uncomfortable to sit for a long time, the buttocks are particularly painful, it is really not a person who can sit still, it seems that he is going to prepare a cushion for sitting in a sedan chair.

"Boss, a few steps further is the fork in the road between Chang'an and Luoyang, the eastern capital." The crisp voice of the maid Xiaohong came into the sedan chair outside the sedan chair.

"Okay, got it, let's stop in front of you."

After a while, about a cup of tea, the sedan chair slowly stopped

Yichen and Miss Su walked out of the sedan chair one after the other.

After getting off the sedan car, Chen Yi stretched out his arm and patted his leg. Looking at the big scenery in the distance, the autumn colors are pleasant. A thin layer of dead leaves accumulated between the trees on both sides of the road, and when the wind blew, it swirled and flew up, and spread evenly, obscuring the road that had spiraled into the distance.

Looking at Miss Su and the maid Xiaohong not far away, whispering something, after a while, I saw the maid Xiaohong holding something in her hand and reluctantly walked over.

As the maid approached him step by step, Chen Yi realized that the maid was holding a small purse in her hand.

Rolling his eyes angrily, he said to Chen Yi:

"Lin Gongzi, this is the item that my boss asked me to hand over to you, and the boss said that you will open it after we leave."

Stretching out his hand, he slowly dragged the corner of the purse from the maid's hand to his hand, and Chen Yi didn't feel embarrassed. Looking carefully at the pattern on the purse, the pink purse is rusty, a lotus pattern, the lotus is very beautiful, lifelike.

A breeze blew, and the faint fragrance on the purse inadvertently entered the tip of his nose, Chen Yi involuntarily inhaled deeply, but was seen by Xiaohong beside him. whispered that he was a pervert, a stinky rascal, and sure enough, the man didn't have a single thing, and there was no one who was not lustful, so he stomped his feet, turned his head, and walked back.

Chen Yi held the pink purse in one hand stupidly, and felt inexplicable, if he knew that he had been labeled as a hooligan and a pervert by others, he was afraid that he would want to cry without tears. I'm afraid I'll be holding the thigh of the maid Xiaohong, big sister, I just smelled the smell, how can you label me a perverted hooligan.

Chen Yi watched Miss Su's sedan chair getting farther and farther away, couldn't wait to open the purse, took out a yellow piece of paper from it, opened the folded paper in half, and saw that the yellowed paper read:

A household of Tatsuyi

Resident of No. 135, Ling Town, Qimen County, Jinzhou

Not to the crown

There is no adult population

My father died at the age of 35

Women none

Field: 10 acres

There are six houses

The right household is paid by Fang Yi to receive it, and this is allowed

February 17, the fifty-fifth year of the Great First Year

This yellowed paper is called a household sticker, the content written on this piece of paper is roughly equivalent to the household registration book of later generations, in ancient times, the household registration is changed every three years, and the household sticker is registered as the name of the head of the household, place of origin, Dingkou, age, assets and other items, Chen Yi feels that the next time he sees Su Guniang, he must say thank you in person, this favor is too great.

Looking at the sedan chair that gradually disappeared in the distance, folded the new paper in his hand, put it in his purse, Chen Yi got into the forest, changed into the long shirt he usually wore, walked out of the woods, and walked along another road with the burden on his shoulders, and embarked on the road to the eastern capital.

Unconsciously, Chen Yi had been walking for two hours, and it was about to reach the time of Shen, and he saw that the sun was about to set (time unit: a year has December, a month has five weeks, a week has six days, a day has twelve hours, an hour has four quarters, a moment has three teas, a tea has two pillars of incense, a pillar of incense has five points, a point has five snaps of fingers, and a snap of fingers has ten moments.

Chen Yi, who was already hungry, took out dry food and water bags from his baggage, and ate them as he walked.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour (60 minutes), the sun can still see a little faintly, and it is estimated that it will set soon, Chen Yi walked all the way, and finally saw a field appear, and as he continued to move forward, it proved that there should be a village or a family not far away.

Chen Yi quickened his pace, walked for two more teas, and finally saw the smoke rising in the distance, and the house could be vaguely seen, it should be a small village, and finally Chen Yi walked to the vicinity of the small village. There are many tall trees in the village, and there is a clear river flowing slowly on the outskirts of the village, but I don't know where the river will go.

There were a few children about 10 or so by the river, half-squatting next to the stream, not knowing what they were doing?

Chen Yi walked along the slope next to the road, walked to a few children, and when they walked in, they saw clearly, these children, wearing very few clothes, and many patches on their bodies, and their shoes were also tattered, all of them were very thin, it turned out that they were catching fish by the side of the river with their own hands.

"Caught, caught, dog, you can take this fish to your mother to stew fish soup, and give your mother to replenish her body."

One of the children, dressed in gray patches, shouted happily, and the other children also gathered around and looked at the fish in his hand, and they were all happy.

"Ah, what beautiful clothes." One of the children spotted Chenyi standing not far from them.

The rest of the children also hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the gorgeous Chenyi not far away with curiosity and envy.
