Chapter 113 Go to the capital
A few of them were just inexplicable in their hearts. And Xiao Tao's heart was like thunder! In other words, one day inside is ten days outside, my God! How much do you have to pay to get such an adventure? It's immortality again, it's endless money, and even time has slowed down!
Suddenly remembered the sentence of the novice tutorial and put it to death and then lived, what nirvana is there? Is it possible to exchange your life for it?
Xiao Tao was in a hurry, he couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it first, let them take their things and set off, went around the dead man's pool into a forest, and when he came out again, he was already far away from the village, got into the carriage, no longer delayed, and set off all the way to the capital.
The straight-line distance from the white porcelain town to the capital is not very far, from any street in the town to the north gate, out of the town, only one way the official road about fifty or sixty miles after the road there is a mountain system.
There are official roads in the east, west and north directions of the mountain system, but it is only a mountain road naturally formed between the mountains and the mountains, and the imperial court has people to repair it, winding and rugged, which will be able to accommodate the width of three or two carriages, and the peaks on both sides are like cutting, towering into the clouds. Occasionally, if the weather is bad, there will be rockfalls!
There are city defense battalions near the mountain and out of the mountain, and officers and soldiers patrol the mountain road from time to time, but if there is no major incident, they do not interfere with the common people's road.
This mountain system is the natural barrier of the capital, surrounds the capital on three sides, only leaves a small mountain pass in the direction of the south, there is about five or six miles of land, in order to defend against foreign enemies, the former dynasty builds a very thick city wall along the gap of the mountain in the south, leaves the city gate of the city tower, calls the south gate, surrounds the capital on all sides.
All directions of the mountain are about 100 miles away from the capital, but about 200 miles away from the center of the capital, the palace of the Dayi Dynasty.
Hence the name "Baili Mountain".
Xiao Tao and they want to enter the South Gate, and entering the South Gate is also considered to have entered the boundary of the capital.
Out of the White Porcelain Town, on both sides of the official road are wheat fields that have been harvested for a short time, golden wheat roots, and the smell of dry dry grass from wheat stalks, and some villages are scattered in the distance, but there are no towns like White Porcelain Town.
At this time, it was the height of summer, and the blazing air seemed to be burned and tumbled, and waves of heat waves were blowing in the face, and even the air was wrinkled and rippled!
In the heat wave, the mountains in the distance are faintly visible, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, towering and tall, not like the valley peaks of the concave mountains.
The mountains are full of green trees, which is very refreshing.
The journey was quite smooth, but Xiao Tao was always squinting, the weather was already hot, and she was always in a state of sleepiness.
"Phew..."
Xiao Tao was napping against the wall of the carriage, and the carriage stopped.
"Madam, you can't get over ahead! Stay still, let them, go and see! ”
Xiao Tao hadn't reacted yet, and was lazy, "Hmm! With a bang, his eyes closed again.
After a while, Bajia's voice sounded, "Madam, two children fainted in the middle of the road, blocking the way,"
Xiao Tao tried hard to open his eyes, rubbed his face, his whole body was soft, and he lifted his spirit, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”
After saying that, he got up and lifted the curtain, and the dazzling sunlight and heat waves outside rushed over.
Xiao Tao got used to it a little, and planned to go down to take a look, Bajia helped her get out of the car, and Erjia helped her open the way, and saw an eight or nine-year-old boy, lying on the ground, ragged, because it was summer, his arms and legs were exposed, skinny, and he was still holding a girl about three or four years old in his hand, lying beside him, his face was black, and his eyes were closed, very pitiful!
The passers-by on the side only looked at each other, all of them were pedestrians passing by, no one stepped forward, only discussed.
"Oops! How pathetic! For such a young child, where did the parents go at home? ”
"Looking at it like this, I'm afraid my parents are gone!"
Xiao Tao didn't know what they were in his heart, thinking that he was afraid of touching porcelain, right? What's the use of just watching? I used to squat down to take their pulse, but my body was weak and hungry. Looking at the pitiful appearance of the two of them, thinking that she is also going to be a mother, I can't help but sympathize with it!
"Erjia, carry them back to the car, and wait for them to wake up before making plans!"
Erjia responded, and carried them back to the car with Bajia, and the passers-by saw that there was no more excitement to see, so they dispersed and continued to drive their own way.
Xiao Tao fed them some water, wet the veil with water, wiped their faces to cool down, and then continued on their way.
After passing the Nanguan Gate after dark, it can be regarded as entering the capital, but it belongs to the suburbs, mostly Zhuangzi in the suburbs of fields and dignitaries.
Xiao Tao and they were in a hurry as much as possible, and rested for one night in the Zhuangzi arranged by Erjia.
Xiao Tao asked a second grade, only to know that Zhuangzi is Situ Yu's, the emperor rewarded, Situ Yu generally likes to come and live in the summer, there should be a servant, food, and all the uses.
It was dark, and Xiao Tao didn't have time to look at it carefully.
The little boy and girl were carried by Erjia and put in the guest room, Xiao Tao ate and drank to his heart's content, washed up, refreshed, and his head was clearer.
Prepared some food for them, let the kitchen boil porridge, and took a few steamed buns for digestion. When they entered the door, the two children had already woken up, and they were sitting on the bed looking around.
When the little boy saw the food, he didn't care about thanking him, so he quickly ran over and got one, and ran back to hand the steamed bun to his sister.
The little girl smiled and took it, and gave it to her brother first.
Xiao Tao felt sorry for the poor child in his heart, and he was so sensible! Gentle smile, "Come down when you wake up, don't worry, it's enough for both of you to eat!" ”
The little boy pulled his sister, walked to the table, touched his head, and smiled shyly at Xiao Tao, "Thank you, sister, did you save us?" ”
Xiao Tao smiled and nodded, "Hmm!" Eat first, and we'll talk after eating! ”
The little boy nodded, and after the two were full, Xiao Tao asked them to bathe and clean up, and some of the servants in the Zhuangzi had children at home, so they found them two clothes and came over.
When the elder brother pulled his sister in, Xiao Tao was stunned, it was clearly two little angels, the elder brother had delicate facial features, like a little Zhengtai, and the younger sister had big eyes and a small mouth, and she was a little Lori.
The two of them knelt down at Xiao Tao when they entered the door, and the elder brother was polite, "Big sister, thank you for saving your life!" ”
Xiao Tao helped them up and touched their little faces, "You two are children of good families at first glance, what's your name?" Where did it come from? How can they end up on the streets? ”
The little boy frowned and lowered his head, pursing his mouth, "My name is Ling Xuan, my sister's name is Ling Xinnuan, our family is from the south, we were attacked by bandits, the whole family was killed, my parents desperately protected them, and the two of us were rescued, but they were also killed, and our parents asked us to come to the capital to find our uncle!" But it was so hot that we didn't eat all day, and we fainted from hunger! ”
