As Liu Qingshan said, after departure, you have to eat and sleep in the open.

At this time, most of the area is sparsely populated wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains and dense forests are not only difficult to find, but also full of many unknowns.

This is precisely why there has never been a shortage of travelers who have died in foreign lands since ancient times, and the number of deaths on the way is far greater than the number of deaths who stay at the destination.

Fortunately, now the people are rich and the country is strong, although in addition to the brick road in the Daming Palace in Chang'an, the others are almost all dirt roads, but the biggest feature of the road in this dynasty is that it extends in all directions, as long as you follow the official road to the direction you want to go, you can find the state and county you want to go to, and so on to see the yellow city from afar, that is victory in sight.

However, due to the fact that the traffic is extremely inconvenient now, it is common to travel away from the hometown once, as little as ten days and a half months, or as long as more than three months, and travelers on the road are inevitably in a hurry day and night.

Therefore, Ouyang Zhan, who was known as the "first jinshi in southern Fujian" in the Tang Dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty, wrote in the book "Endowed with the Autumn River Shu Geng Geng to send Guo Xiucai to be lifted": "The moon has no sky, and the autumn river is still white." The white light is accumulated, and the sky is empty. ”

Something to the effect: send Guo Xiucai at dawn.

It can be seen that when you are traveling, how early you get up and are greedy for darkness.

Qinghe and Qingyang live next to each other, and the distance between the two places is only 180 miles.

According to the "journey by land: 70 miles on horse, 50 miles on foot and donkey, and 30 miles on cart." The ordinary itinerary is calculated, and it takes about three or four days to hike from Qingyang to Qinghe.

Even if you go slowly, it will take less than ten days to travel all the way to Yaxing.

After all, he was too tired on the way, and he was very susceptible to illness, and he was in the wilderness, so that the day should not be called the earth and the earth was not spiritual, so the gains outweighed the losses.

Xu doesn't have a specific rush task, or he has watched too many modern martial arts dramas, and Liu Qingshan boasted that "the ranger walks the rivers and lakes with a sword, just for the injustice of the world." ”

In the Tang poems that she must recite and study every day, you can see the shadow of "chivalry" everywhere, the most famous of which is the poet Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey":

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles.

After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.

What an ancient poem that makes people's blood boil, it is worthy of being written by a poet, and the picture suddenly comes alive between recitations:

Between the swords and swords, it seems that Li Mubai, who is dressed in white, fights with Yujiaolong in the modern movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and it is also like Jin Zhutou and his little sister in "Ambush on All Sides" in the bamboo forest...... In short, the hot-blooded rivers and lakes, the picture that appears in my brain is beautiful and rigid.

It is rare for Liu Chenxing not to be occupied by reading in his mind, leaving a small space for the dream of rivers and lakes in his heart.

With this vague expectation, I walked for three days, at least thirty miles a day.

Growing up in the countryside, more than 30 miles is not too tiring, but full of new experiences.

On the first day, it was still in Qingyang County, and there were villages on the road, that is, to borrow a farmhouse to stay. This is almost impossible in modern times, except for farmhouses, no matter how enthusiastic the villagers are, they generally will not lend their houses to passers-by, not to mention not charging money?

Of course, they were embarrassed to live in vain, and used other people's firewood, and still left twenty wen in the hut when they left.

……

Nowadays, there is a post in 30 miles, and there is a museum in more than 15 miles.

The post is a place for traveling officials to stay, eat and travel, and ordinary people cannot borrow it.

Pavilion, that is, a hotel that entertains past officials and guests, there are public mansions and private hotels.

On the second day, we planned a journey and stayed overnight at a private hotel at dusk.

Probably to the territory of Qinghe, the hotel has a lot of white-clothed people, they uphold the "gentleman far away cooking" sage words, it is impossible to borrow the stove to cook, more in the hall to spend money on food, see each other are to go to the exam, a few words to talk down, is to call the brother, and then go together.

It's still a cliché, the world is harsh, Liu Chenxing, as a woman, is not good to mix with a group of men, and the journey is still a master, since there is no like-mindedness in the rangers, and they are accompanied by the rivers and lakes.

This day is the third day of travel.

In the early morning, less than half an hour after leaving the hotel, it began to rain.

As the saying goes: March rain is as expensive as oil. April rain, good hoe.

Spring ploughing has just passed, and in April, the crops begin to grow, and a little rain can loosen the soil, which is convenient for weeding, and the crops grow well.

Liu Chenxing grew up in the fields since he was a child, and he knows the difficulties of the farmer's family, and he is also looking forward to the rain in April.

But now on the road, it is difficult to say anything about the old man when it rains during the day.

Although the rain was not heavy, it was a light rain, and there were two bamboo knots on both sides of their baskets that extended to the top of their heads, and a bamboo square board was erected, which could still block the light rain.

But the ground was a dirt road, and it was muddy when it rained, and after a few steps, the hem of the white robe of the Shushi was full of mud stains, and the dream of the rivers and lakes or the spark was most of the sparks extinguished by this light rain.

After walking in the rain for an hour or two, I couldn't find a place to hide from the rain, and the mud was getting more and more, and I couldn't care about the staining of my new clothes, so I only sighed that the straw sandals under my feet were covered with a thick layer, and my steps were heavy. What is the dream of the rivers and lakes?

No wonder people said that the journey was a journey.

I just want to find a shelter from the rain.

Probably the desire in his heart was too strong, and when he saw a house in the forest on the right side of the road, Liu Chenxing pointed and said, "Aya, brother, you can shelter from the rain ahead!" ”

Hearing this, the father and son looked across the forest, and they could vaguely see that there was a house, and they were also very happy at the moment.

The grandfather hurried to shelter from the rain.

However, when it gets closer, it is a long-abandoned abandoned temple.

This temple is not large, and you can see the panoramic view at a glance.

Located in the middle of the woods, a wooden courtyard house.

The outer wall of the courtyard is half ruined, and only the wooden temple gate is still there, which is half-closed and half-hidden.

Looking inside the temple through the collapsed exterior wall:

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and littered with a few rotten planks.

Looking at the lack of windows and doors in the east and west rows of houses, it can be seen that the wooden planks in the courtyard should be the doors and windows of the houses on both sides.

Although the ruined temple is extremely dilapidated, the main hall with three rooms is still neat, no doors and windows are damaged, and the gray tiles on the top are also intact, so it is a good place to shelter from the rain.

In an era full of ghosts and gods, this kind of abandoned temple ......

For a while, the grandfather was silent.

Only the raindrops suddenly became larger, from a drizzle to a bean-sized raindrop, and there was a downpour.

Liu Chenxing: ......

Is this to urge them to hurry in?

Liu Qianli looked at the children on his face who were speechless, and the hair that suddenly rose in his heart unconsciously dispersed, and said: "In order to hide from the rain, we didn't even use lunch, this rain will not stop, just go into this temple to avoid the rain for a while!" ”

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and pushed open the half-covered temple door with a "squeak", kicking up thousands of dust.

Liu Qianli turned back to his children and said, "Aya first!" ”
