Looking at the small fishing village that slowly turned into a black spot, Ji Wu silently wiped away the tears on his face, sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside the small window, thinking about what his father said when he sent him off.

My father and mother told others to be outside, which is the world of rivers and lakes, to talk less and do more, and to learn the spirit of hardship and hard work.

"Big nephew, are you homesick?" said the emaciated uncle, sitting across from Ji Wu, looking at him.

Ji nodded silently, her swarthy face was a little more strong and brave, and her short hair looked like a hedgehog.

Seeing that Ji Wu didn't want to speak, the uncle took off the package on his shoulder and took out an oil cake from it, which was also sandwiched with a layer of meat skin, which was really fragrant.

"Give! eldest nephew, you got up early in the morning, and you didn't eat breakfast, this is the meat pancake prepared for you by your mother, saying that you like to eat, let me bring some."

Ji Wu sniffed his nose, took the oil cake with his little hand and said, "Thank you, uncle!" and then took a big bite of it.

Uncle saw that Ji Wu was so fragrant and patted Ji Wu's shoulder and said: "In the future, I will be close to my uncle, don't say anything politely, when you arrive in Yaoxing City, your uncle will slowly teach you all the crafts, and when you make a lot of money after learning art, you will take your father and mother over!"

Ji Wu was still chewing the oil cake in his mouth, and he didn't care about speaking, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

The carriage drove fast on the road, with some bumps from time to time, and after a break in the middle, the groom fed the horses some grain and grass, and everyone set off again after a short rest.

After two days of hurrying, Ji Wu and this uncle gradually became acquainted, this uncle has been bragging to Ji Wu on the way about the heroic deeds of the year, and the outside flower world, listening to Ji Wu suddenly yearning for the outside world.

Jinji Town.

This town is not big, the total formation depends on a big cross street, the location is north of Yangquan Town, south of the sea area of Dayu Town, west of Tama Town, through the north can go to Fuhu City, through the south can go to Fuhua City, through the west can go to Yaoxing City, it is also regarded as the floating continent people flow through the place, and the east of Jinji Town is a piece of rocky mountains, is not accessible.

In the evening, a horse-drawn carriage came to the south street, and the carriage stopped at the door of the Baijiayan Inn.

An emaciated man stepped down from the carriage, followed by a swarthy young man, who got out of the carriage and looked around with two pairs of piercing eyes.

"Ji Yu'er!" the emaciated man shouted at the young man.

These two are the uncle and Ji Wu who rushed here to rest non-stop from a small fishing village.

Uncle learned his nickname through chatting with Ji Wu during this time, and called him Ji Yuer after talking to Ji Wu.

"Uncle, the houses here are so high, some of them don't look like they're made of wood, right?" Ji Wu said to his uncle with a surprised face.

When my uncle heard this, he snorted and said with a smile: "Let's go, Ji Yu'er, when we get to the city tomorrow night, the house will be bigger and higher."

Saying that, Ji Wu followed his uncle into this inn called Baijiayan, Ji Wu had been learning literacy with his mother when he was young, and he was still very excited about being able to use literacy skills for the first time.

During dinner, Ji Wu and his uncle sat at a table, although the meal was not very rich, but it was also a lot of food that Ji Wu had never eaten, and of course Ji Wu swept it away.

"Ji Yu'er, how about you taste this egg?" the uncle pointed to a plate of eggs, which were very large.

After Ji Wu heard this, he picked up a smaller egg and planned to knock it and peel it.

"Hey, the one you took is a little smaller, it's just an ordinary egg used to fill up in this inn, you eat this!" Uncle saw that Ji Wu's egg was small, so he handed Ji Wu the shelled egg in his hand.

Ji Wu, who was about to knock the shell, put down the small egg and took the egg that his uncle had peeled.

Seeing this, the uncle said: "It is said that in ancient times, this Golden Rooster Town was the entrenched place of the Phoenix, and all the livestock that could lay eggs were affected, and the eggs laid were very large, and it was rumored that as long as you ate the eggs of this Golden Rooster Town, you could live a long life!"

Saying that, the uncle had already peeled the second egg and stuffed it into his mouth to take a bite, and it seemed that the uncle's expression was not eating eggs, but eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Ji Wu also tasted it carefully after eating the egg in his hand, and after eating the egg in his hand, Ji Wu felt full, so he put the small egg on the table into his personal arms and planned to eat it on the road tomorrow.

After dinner, my uncle said that he was tired and rested early after a day.

Ji Wu went back to his room.

When he took off his coat and lay on the bed, Ji Wu found that the bed in this inn was uncomfortable to fall asleep, much softer than the bed at home, which made it difficult for Ji Wu, who was used to sleeping hard, to toss and turn.

In the floating night, the vast starry sky, countless stars in the sky surrounded a lone trace, and from time to time a few stars disappeared.

There was no sound at night, and it seemed that even the insects had fallen asleep.

"Move quickly, cleanly, and don't be discovered!"

There was a whisper outside the room, as if someone was muttering something.

Ji Wu was just starting to be drowsy when he heard a movement outside the house, and was about to get up to take a look when he smelled a strange smell in the air, which seemed to be a faint incense.

"Bang!" was the last sound Ji Wu heard before he lost consciousness, and when he closed his eyes, he saw two masked men dressed in black walking towards him.
