Chapter 68: Departure

Although there have been too many twists and turns, the day of departure has finally arrived as scheduled. With a happy mood and a beautiful hope, Lan Yi was in good spirits, although behind him was his father's worried gaze, but he didn't care about it at all, he only felt that the mysterious and dangerous place in the north would be the place where his dream opened, and for his dream, such an adventure was worth doing.

The sky is blue, and the morning sun is selflessly shining brightly, enveloping the capital in silence. As soon as the officials guarding the city opened the gates, the caravan walked out of the gates.

The world outside the city is indeed vast, and the infinite green with the color of the black earth stretches into the distance until it disappears at the end of the sky. The group was all on horseback, and Lan Yi was of course among them. From childhood to adulthood, Lan Yi's immediate kung fu is obviously not good, but fortunately, the speed of the dart team is not very fast, so Lan Yi's clumsiness is also covered up.

This time, Lan Yi and Mei brought too much silk, one is because the current situation is unstable, the region is not familiar, and I don't know the market of the market, so I don't dare to take the liberty of bringing more. What's more, this time it was to follow the south wind's dart team, and Lan Yi did not bring any entourage and hired any dart game to protect it, so it was also for the safety of the whole team, but only brought a small amount of silk to explore the market.

Lan Hongda followed Lan Yi all the way, his face was silent and silent, only occasionally looked at Lan Yi with caring eyes, but the stubborn child didn't even give him a look, that full of smugness, that full of pride, Lan Hongda didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It is rare that this time Xiao Zheng and Feng Yao also came out to see Nanfeng off, which is unprecedented in the history of Nanfeng's escort, but he also understands that this grand scene should not be for himself.

The sound of the horses' hooves sounded chaotically on the wide official road, and everyone's thoughts were different, but everyone remained surprisingly silent, and no one seemed to speak, and such a procession would continue to march.

In the end, it was Lan Yi who tightened the reins, he looked at Lan Hongda, although there were still no words, but Lan Hongda knew that his send-off was coming here, "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, the road ahead is dangerous, I hope you take care of your child!" ”

In the vast earth, the old father's advice seemed a little tragic and desolate, Lan Yi felt a little, just when his eyes were sour, he kicked the horse's belly twice, and the horse accelerated its pace and galloped forward. Nanfeng also said goodbye to his father and Feng Yaolan, kicked the horse's stomach and chased forward.

The slow escort procession was of course still at the same speed, slowly, slowly, until those personal shadows disappeared in front of them, and the two old men were still standing in place and unwilling to leave.

"Dad, Uncle Lan, let's go back! Now we can't even see the human figure, and we have no intention of standing here. Feng Yao rarely behaved so well-behaved, he didn't talk much along the way, and he was very considerate of the old man's mood.

It is true that Feng Yao was a little unexpected by Xiao Zheng. As early as when he suggested that Lan Yi go to the field, Feng Yao had already strongly expressed his determination and courage to see the world, but Xiao Zheng didn't pay attention to her at all, saying, "It's inconvenient on the way to the girl's house." "Just dismissed her. Unexpectedly, Feng Yao didn't be too coquettish and insistent, just quietly listened to Xiao Zheng's words, and helped Nanfeng make various preparations before departure every day.

Right now, the team going north is no longer visible, and Feng Yao's heart is also following the group of people who are gradually moving away, she just wants to get rid of her father quickly at the moment and catch up with the team in front of her as soon as possible, as for the rest, she really doesn't have the heart to think about it.

Lan Hongda looked at Xiao Zheng with resentful eyes, but unfortunately Xiao Zheng didn't give him half of sympathy, he turned the horse's head, and Lan Hongda also followed listlessly behind. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the blazing earth was about to be scorched, and the horses lost their spirits in this blazing heat, perhaps because they were also apprehensive in their hearts, so no one had the intention of urging the horses to run, and let the horses wander.

There was a temporary tea shed on the side of the road, and two people who were in a hurry were drinking herbal tea in it, the fragrance of tea exuded an attractive aroma in the warm air, Feng Yao couldn't help jumping off the horse, "Dad, have we drunk tea here?" Feng Yao smiled all over his face, Xiao Zheng looked at Lan Hongda on the side with a gloomy face, but he didn't expect that this old man who was once rich in the capital seemed to be a little jealous, and he didn't even have the courage to look at each other, but nodded a few times in a hurry and agreed.

The shopkeeper naturally came out to greet enthusiastically, and soon, a few bowls of herbal tea had been served, and a few people who spoke only lowered their heads and looked at the tea bowls, although it was a coolness, but no one seemed to have much heart on this tea. After a long silence, Feng Yao suddenly got up and said that he was going to the thatched house, Xiao Zheng didn't think much about it, just nodded, Feng Yao ran out happily, in order not to let her father find out her ambition to escape, Feng Yao didn't ride a horse, she left everyone's sight and ran all the way down in the direction where Nanfeng Lan Yi had just left.

The weather was hot, and it didn't take long for Feng Yao to run sweaty, but in order not to let her father catch up with her, she still didn't dare to stop, and she was smart and didn't dare to take the road at all, just shuttled on the side of the path. Although his legs were already tired and numb, he thought that he was getting closer to Lan Yi with every step forward, and the little excitement in his heart couldn't stop rising.

The scenery behind her has been left far behind, Feng Yao seems to be able to think of Xiao Zheng looking for her anxiously at the moment, but she can't care about her father's worries at the moment, she has her own things to do.

Xiao Zheng was indeed worried, and when a bowl of tea had already seen the signs of Di Feng Yao coming back, his heart had already begun to panic. As early as when Feng Yaoyang begged him to go to the field before, Xiao Zheng already had a hint of uneasiness. He knows this child's character too well, as long as she wants to do it, nine cows can't pull it back. But this time, he only said things that were inconvenient for girls, and Feng Yao obediently obeyed his orders, and he never mentioned it since.

thought that Feng Yao was just a whim, but at this time, it seems that she has a plan. Now it seems that running is certain, if you ride a horse to chase quickly, you should be able to catch up, but what about later? What if she returns and continues to run away? Xiao Zheng's plan cannot be said to be long-term.

On the contrary, Xiao Zheng's worry, Lan Hong greatly gloated, he gently flicked the tea bowl in his hand, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a little smile. Xiao Zheng was angry when he saw this, but he didn't expect Lan Hongda to speak, "What? Are you willing to let my son go to the field for an adventure, and you are so reluctant to replace it with your own daughter? ”

Xiao Zheng stared at the fat man in front of him fiercely, there was already some anger in his eyes, and he said, "How can I understand the mood of being a father like you?" ”

"That's weird, you're also a father, what's the difference between you and me?"

"What's the difference, you say?" Xiao Zheng stared at Lan Hongda, and in an instant, Lan Hongda's pride disappeared, and he drank the last bit of herbal tea in the tea bowl in a stupid manner.

Xiao Zheng regretted a little, to be precise, he was worried, but since it had become a fact, he had to recite Lan Hongda's words in his heart, "The road ahead is dangerous, I hope the child will take care of himself!" ”

The road is still the same road, but there is one more person's gaze, and the scene is still the same scene, but there is one more person's worries and worries. After staring at it for a long time, Xiao Zheng sighed, this may be the sorrow of the parents when the children grow up. He took the horse's rope lonely and got on the horse's back gloomily, glanced at the uninhabited official road one last time, and walked melancholy in the direction of his home in the capital. His mind is also extremely contradictory, he doesn't know whether his indulgence is a blessing or a curse for Feng Yao, but now it's like this, even if he pulls Feng Yao back by force, with this girl's stubborn character, she will definitely slip out sooner or later, so she can only pass the news to tell Nanfeng to take care of it more on the road.

Lan Hongda didn't speak, he just got up silently and followed silently, two strong horses, two lonely backs, and two desolate old men, who looked a little sad under the scorching sun.

Although the departure time was much later, Nanfeng and Lan Yi set off with the dart team, and they escorted too many valuables, so the speed of action was not very fast, coupled with the hot weather, stop and go, Feng Yao didn't take much effort to catch up. When Feng Yao, who had a dusty face, appeared in front of Nanfeng and Lan Yi, Lan Yi didn't know whether he was happy or shocked and almost didn't fall off his horse.

"Are you so excited to see me?" Feng Yao touched a handful of sweaty hippie smiles on his face, and a few black and white traces immediately appeared on the face that was smeared by her, because everyone was present, and more importantly, because of the south wind, Lan Yi held back his hand and didn't go to help. It was Nanfeng who sighed and looked at Feng Yao, his face full of helplessness.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like this? You're not going to send me back, are you? Feng Yao pretended to be unhappy and looked at Nanfeng.

"I don't have that time, give, take this and wipe it well, go to the woods over there and replace this one, it's always inconvenient for a daughter's house to go on the road." Nanfeng handed Feng Yao a handkerchief and took out a men's shirt from the package and threw it to Feng Yao, although Lan Yi was very dissatisfied with the shirt, but he didn't say anything during the special period, not to mention, because he was in a hurry, the clothes prepared by him, a rich man, were also very simple, and none of them were worthy of Feng Yao.

"It's my brother who knows me best." Feng Yao was holding the clothes, from childhood to adulthood, her brother took no less care of her than her father, to some extent, Feng Yao has two fathers!

"Don't mess with me, it's hard along the way, but it's not as comfortable as at home. When the time comes, you don't cry and blame me. Nanfeng said helplessly.

"How so? What does my brother think of me? Am I the kind of delicate lady? I know what you're worried about, and rest assured, I'm not going to hold you back. However, I still bothered my brother to send a letter to my father, telling him not to worry too much about the old man. Feng Yao had a little apology on his face.
