Walking on the street of Jingzhou City, although it has reached dusk, there are still people coming and going on the street, the shops on the street have also begun to light up the lights, the lanterns are hung high, the fire candles reflect the red façade, with the ten thousand rays of the sunset, Jingzhou City seems to be dressed in a colorful dress.

Feng Yuerong looked around excitedly, full of novelty about many things, and soon, Feng Yuerong took one piece on the left and one on the right, and when she saw something she liked, she bought it directly.

Chu Feng was already surprised by this, if Feng Yuerong didn't buy anything, he would feel a little strange.

After Feng Yuerong finished buying the things, she naturally handed them over to Chu Feng, and then went to look at other things, Chu Feng took it a little helplessly, looking at the almost useless things in his hand, he also shook his head helplessly. Feng Yuerong likes to buy things, and I'm afraid she will never be able to change it.

The sky soon darkened, and the people on the street also packed up their stalls and prepared to go home, but there were still many people still in business, and at night, it was also relatively lively, and many people also liked to eat supper, and all the stalls selling supper would be open until late.

After walking around the two streets and seeing more than a dozen shops, Feng Yuerong also felt a little hungry, touched her stomach, looked at so many stalls on the street to buy supper, and said to Chu Feng: "Chu Feng, let's go eat something." ”

Chu Feng waited for Feng Yuerong's words, and quickly nodded: "Okay, we haven't eaten properly for a few days, let's find a place to eat." ”

Feng Yuerong looked at these stalls selling supper on the street, and her appetite was aroused all of a sudden, and then she found a stall nearby and prepared to eat some dumplings.

"Chu Feng, you see, there are a lot of people who eat dumplings, and I haven't eaten them for a long time, otherwise, let's eat some dumplings." ”

Chu Feng agreed: "Okay, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I can smell the fragrance of this dumpling from afar, it must be delicious." ”

"Hee-hee, let's go, let's go eat dumplings. ”

Chu Feng put away the things Feng Yuerong bought first, and then found an empty seat next to the stall with Feng Yuerong, asked for two dumplings, and waited.

The dumplings are cooked, and it takes about a stick of incense, Feng Yuerong looked at the people next to her and thought so, her saliva was about to flow out, so she urged the boss again and asked the boss to hurry up.

The boss was an old man who looked to be in his fifties, and there was a woman of the same age next to him, thinking that they should be a family.

The boss looked like a relatively kind person, and said with a smile: "This girl, don't worry, the dumplings will be cooked in a while, you can wait a while." ”

After the boss put the dumplings in the pot, he added some firewood to the bottom of the pot, and then continued to make the dumplings.

Seeing the two old men working so hard, Feng Yuerong asked, "Uncle, you are so old and still working so hard, what about your children, why didn't they come to help you?"

Feng Yuerong asked, the boss was stunned for a moment, and said: "I have a son who was arrested and served as a soldier half a year ago, and my daughter-in-law is busy at home, taking care of her grandson who has just turned one year old, and it is inconvenient for me to come out, so my wife and I came out to set up a stall to earn some silver and subsidize the family." ”

Chu Feng asked, "Uncle, you said that your son was taken away?"

The boss nodded, his wrinkled face looked a lot sad: "We here, every family has to send someone to be a soldier, I only have one son, just got married for more than a year, he was arrested to be a soldier, alas, I don't know when I will come back." ”

The boss sighed helplessly, such a situation is not a few, and it is not only his own family, thinking of a son who is a soldier outside, his eyes are also full of endless thoughts.

Feng Yuerong said: "It turns out that this is also the case here, many places are recruiting a large number of soldiers, and such a large-scale conscription is definitely not a good thing." ”

Chu Feng also roughly understood the reason behind this, the forces of all parties were expanding, and naturally more manpower was needed.

"Now, the situation in the country is getting more and more complicated, in the future, will something big really happen?"

The boss asked, "This son, what did you say happened?"

Chu Feng was returning, and Feng Yuerong preemptively said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry, I believe that it won't be long before your son will be able to come back." ”

Fantasizing that his son would come back as soon as possible, the boss couldn't help but smile and said, "I hope to come back soon." ”

After finishing speaking, the boss picked up the spoon, turned over the dumplings in the pot, and continued to get busy.

Feng Yuerong blocked her words, Chu Feng also knew why Feng Yuerong did this, the old man only had one son, according to the current situation in the country, after these forces reached a certain scale, conflicts would definitely break out and wars would break out, and those lowly soldiers would inevitably become cannon fodder in the war.

Feng Yuerong didn't want the old man to worry, so she left a thought for the old man, if one day in the future, the old man's son really died on the battlefield, it was hard to imagine how the old man's family should live.

Chu Feng looked at Feng Yuerong, and also stopped himself for the loss of Feng Yuerong just now, if he really told the current situation in the country, the old uncle's family would definitely worry day and night.

Feng Yuerong also turned her head to look at Chu Feng, and the two looked at each other and smiled, comprehending. Nowadays, the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better, and many times, each other's words, actions, or even a look can understand what it means.

After a while, the boss came over with steaming dumplings at both ends: "Two, let you wait for a long time, the dumplings are ready, you eat slowly, I'll bring you the seasoning." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong thanked the boss together, and after the boss brought the seasoning, the two couldn't wait to eat. After walking for so many days, now they can finally have a good meal, and the two of them also took care of the hot dumplings, blew them, dipped them in the seasoning, and ate them in a big gulp.

The dumplings have thin skin and large filling, and when you take a bite, your mouth is full of oil, and your mouth is fragrant, which makes people have a great appetite.

"Delicious, really delicious. Feng Yuerong couldn't help but praise.

After eating one, I picked up the second one, dipped it in the seasoning, and ate it again in one bite, but the hot mouth kept breathing, which looked a little funny.

Chu Feng smiled: "You eat slowly, this dumpling has just come out of the pot, and it is very hot." ”

After swallowing it, Feng Yuerong said happily: "It's okay, this dumpling is so fragrant, hehe." ”

Seeing that Feng Yuerong ate so deliciously, Chu Feng also ate it, and this dumpling tasted like the taste he had eaten at home during the Chinese New Year before, which suddenly reminded Chu Feng of the past.

The two basically gobbled it up, and soon, a bowl of dumplings was finished, and the two asked for another bowl, and then ate it.

In the end, the two of them ate three bowls of dumplings each before finally stopping. After drinking the dumpling soup in the bowl, Feng Yuerong exhaled: "It's so comfortable, I haven't eaten so full for a long time." Chu Feng, have you eaten enough?"

Chu Feng also let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I'm also a little overwhelmed, in the past, I only ate two bowls at most, but today I ate three bowls, and my belly is a lot bigger, hahahaha......"

"Hee-hee, let you touch your belly. ”

Feng Yuerong reached out and touched Chu Feng's belly, and said with a smile: "Hehehehe, we're both the same, my stomach is also full, and I can't even walk." ”

Chu Feng said, "Then let's rest for a while." ”

Feng Yuerong answered, then took out the silver and paid it to the boss.

The boss took the silver with a smile and said, "Two of you, are you ready to eat?"

Feng Yuerong touched her stomach and said, "Boss, your dumplings are so fragrant, you see, we have all eaten it, hehe." ”

"Hahahaha, thank you, thank you, you guys eat well, it's fine. ”

The night had already darkened, and the rest of the stalls had almost gone, and the boss was not so busy anymore, and he could finally take a break.

The boss casually asked, "Listen to your accent, it's not our local, right?"

Chu Feng replied, "Uncle, we are from the Imperial City. ”

The boss was slightly surprised: "It turns out that you are from the imperial city, no wonder, I see that your behavior is extraordinary, and at first glance you are not ordinary people, and we ordinary people are completely different." ”

Feng Yuerong smiled and asked, "Boss, how can you see that we are different?"

The boss said with a smile: "I have lived for so many years, and I have met many people, you don't seem to work weekdays, or the young master and young lady of a rich and noble family, or those who practice." ”

Feng Yuerong said with a smile: "Uncle, you are really good eyesight, we are all cultivators, this time we came to Jingzhou, we also have some things to do, we will rest here for one night today, and we will leave tomorrow." ”

The boss asked, "Where are you going?"

Feng Yuerong said, "We're going to Ghost Mountain. ”

"What, you're going to Ghost Mountain?" the boss looked a little surprised.

Chu Feng asked, "Uncle, what's wrong, why are you so surprised?"

The boss regained his composure and said, "You are going to the ghost mountain, so do you know how dangerous this ghost mountain is?"

Chu Feng nodded and said, "When we came, we already learned about some of the situation in the Ghost Mountain, and we also have something to do when we go to the Ghost Mountain this time." ”

Although they are all cultivators, the boss still reminded out of good intentions: "Since you know the ghost mountain, why do you still want to go, this ghost mountain, but you can't go there, it is a yin mountain, it is a place where the yin spirit lives, it is very dangerous." ”

Feng Yuerong said: "Uncle, we all know this, but we have urgent matters and really need to go to the Ghost Mountain, so you don't have to persuade us." ”

Seeing that they were so determined, the boss didn't say anything, anyway, for those people who didn't know how to cultivate, it was a place of death, and they would never dare to go, but some cultivators went there more.

Chu Feng asked, "Uncle, do you know where the ghost mountain is, and how to get there?"

They insisted on going to the Ghost Mountain, and the old man didn't persuade them much, and then told them the specific location of the Ghost Mountain, how to get to the Ghost Mountain, and some legends and taboos about the Ghost Mountain, as long as they knew it, they all told Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong.

Regarding the situation of the ghost mountain, the old man said a lot, Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong also knew more about it, in the mouth of the old man, the ghost mountain is definitely a forbidden place that cannot be stepped into, and many things are also said to be godly.

It was late in the night, and when the last table in the stall was gone, the old man was ready to go back. Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong helped the old man clean up the stall before walking towards the inn together.

On the way back, Chu Feng recalled what the old man had just said, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"The ghost mountain that the old man said is so dangerous, after we arrive at the ghost mountain, we must be careful. ”

Feng Yuerong didn't look worried at all, and said: "Chu Feng, you don't have to think of the ghost mountain as so dangerous, uncle, they haven't been to the ghost mountain, they have heard some rumors, and they will definitely exaggerate it, I have been to the ghost mountain, I am not so afraid, when you get to the ghost mountain, you just follow me." ”

Feng Yuerong said with a confident look, Chu Feng was still a little worried, if he followed Feng Yuerong, he didn't know where he would go. After arriving at the Ghost Mountain, you still have to be careful everywhere, and you must also think about what Teacher Zhong told you, watch Feng Yuerong, and prevent Feng Yuerong from running around in the Ghost Mountain.
