This is the second time Mu Qingwan has left Pingcheng and gone on a long trip.

Like everyone else, Mu Qingwan also rode horses, mixed in the caravan, dressed like a little boy, and claimed to be Mu Chen's younger brother. Because of his young age, his appearance was also covered up, and he was unexpectedly successful, and he didn't violate the harmony at all.

The second trip after five years, this time the trip has a different feeling. If five years ago, everything was fresh when I saw it, and my heart was more excited and excited about facing new things, then this time I am more stable and cautious.

When I first left Pingcheng, I always met other caravans on the way, some of them were transporting goods to the mainland, and some of them came from the mainland to sell or buy goods.

But as you go down, the road becomes more and more desolate and sparsely populated. Fortunately, the roads along the way are all official roads, the road is flat, the surrounding eyes are open, and there is a little wind and grass, all of which are in full view, so it is relatively safe.

The food on the road was less elaborate, and the caravans generally prepared jerky and a kind of hard bread that could be preserved for many days. The dried meat is very rough, that is, it is simply air-dried, and the Hu cakes are mostly made of coarse grains, and it is difficult to bite at all when eaten dry, and it is difficult to swallow. When eating, I often pick wild vegetables on the spot to cook a big pot of soup, put the Hu cake in it and soak it, and eat it on the spot, and there is also a bit of mutton soaked bun feeling. Occasionally, when you are lucky, you can catch a rabbit on the road and add a meal.

Mu Qingwan's situation was better, the journey was hard, and Mrs. Mu specially prepared a lot of fine food. The jerky has been processed, there are marinated and sun-dried jerky, there are also made meat floss, there are fried crunchy pancakes, just like modern biscuits, and some small snacks such as dried milk, nuts, preserved fruits, and sugar are also prepared. Mrs. Mu was afraid that there would not be enough food to eat, so she prepared a very sufficient amount of food, enough for Mu Qingwan and Mu Chen to eat on the road.

At the beginning, Mu Qingwan and Mu Chen ate alone, but later they saw that the others were eating so roughly, and they really couldn't help it. The caravan was all under Second Uncle Wang's hands, although they were only told that Mu Qingwan and the others were relatives of Second Uncle Wang, and the specific situation was not explained in detail, but Mu Qingwan and the others were also taken care of a lot along the way. Thinking that they were all people under his uncle, and there were many guards from the Mu Mansion quietly mixed in the caravan, eating and sleeping in the open along the way, Mu Qingwan was not good at favoring one over the other. Therefore, after entering the closest city to Pingcheng, Mu Qingwan instructed Hu Zhao to prepare some food for the others.

Everyone in the caravan was greatly moved, so they treated Mu Qingwan and the others more dedicatedly. Mu Qingwan gradually became familiar with the caravan, and also knew a lot of interesting stories and taboos about the business.

Riding a bicycle is much faster than riding a horse-drawn carriage, but I am still in a hurry every day, because the two adjacent post stations are far away. Of course, the post station only provides simple accommodation, and the resources are relatively limited, and the conditions are relatively simple. If you get to the next city, you can stay for a short time and rest for a day or two, but you can stay comfortably in a hotel. However, if you can't get to your next accommodation before dark, you'll have to sleep out on the road. Wolves on the prairie are real, if you encounter wolves, it is very troublesome, if you encounter wolves, you may face unnecessary losses. Therefore, in case of sleeping on the grassland, you can only build a big fire and send people to watch at night to prevent a sneak attack by wolves.

Seven or eight days after departure, the caravan arrived at Wancheng.

After five years, Mu Qingwan came to Wancheng for the second time, and the only feeling was that things were wrong.

Three years ago, Wang's uncle Wang Bingxin had already been transferred back to the capital, so he could only contact him by letter every year.

In a recent letter, he talked about Mu Qingwan's maternal grandfather and grandmother, as well as his little cousin Wang Chengyue, and also talked about some situations in the capital, and finally Wang Chengkai.

Since Wang Chengkai disappeared five years ago, there has been no news of him, and he has searched for many things, but he has never been found. Originally, Wang Chengkai and Zhao Huan had a marriage contract when they were young, and after Zhao Huan and Lu were married, the two became married. But now Zhao Huan is a seventeen-year-old girl, seeing that Wang Chengkai has no possibility of getting it back, she is really sorry for the girl if she waits any longer, so the two also quit the marriage contract, although Zhao Huan is already old, but because of her behavior of abiding by the marriage contract, she has a very good reputation in the circle.

Zhao Huan? Jinyu? Thinking of these two people, Mu Qingwan was indignant in her heart.

Zhao Huan was reborn to avenge the revenge of her previous life, there was nothing wrong with it, but she shouldn't sacrifice innocent people, especially the people she cared about, Mu Qingwan couldn't bear it. Jinyu is also too arrogant, although she is not the mastermind, but she is also the direct murderer of Mu Yan's overboard. Thinking of Mu Yan's dying appearance at that time, Mu Qingwan felt very distressed, but it was a pity that she was too weak at that time, and Zhao Huan was too hidden, so that the clues were cut off, and it was over, otherwise, these two must not be let go.

The current Wancheng has long been replaced by a new chief soldier and taishou, and it is still the original street and the original place. But five years have diluted the past years, and people have gradually forgotten the scene that happened in Taishoufu five years ago, but Mu Qingwan can't forget it in her life, the frustration of being helpless at that time, watching the people she cares about being hurt in front of her eyes but being powerless.

The past experience always reminds Mu Qingwan that in such an era, only if you are strong enough can you protect yourself and protect the people you care about.

Wancheng, Mu Qingwan had a strong sense of belonging to this era for the first time.

The caravan stayed in Wancheng for one more day, and Mu Qingwan and Mu Chen decided to go to Fushan Temple together.

Hu Zhao also lived in Wancheng when he was a child, and was buried here after his grandmother died. Therefore, Hu Zhao also asked Mu Qingwan to worship her grandmother.

In March, the pear blossoms bloomed all over the Fushan Temple, and after five years, the scale of the pear orchard expanded again. Standing in the pear orchard, looking at it, the pear blossoms of a tree, layer upon layer, a gust of spring breeze blowing, sprinkled with foreign flowers, falling a place of white petals, outlining a beautiful picture. This time she came to the pear orchard, Mu Qingwan painted such a beautiful scenery by herself.

The same pear orchard, this time it is followed by my brother, a different state of mind. Inexplicably, Mu Qingwan suddenly remembered the young man in Xuanyi five years ago, ethereal as an immortal, as if he was not a real person, and the next moment he feathered and went back. It was the best-looking man Mu Qingwan had ever seen, regardless of age. Now, Mu Qingwan can already guess that it is the seventh son of Emperor Jianye, the seventh prince Jing Li. Although it is not clear why I saw it in Biansai, thousands of miles away from the capital, such a young man, as long as he looks at it, he will not forget it even after many years.

At this time, the Fushan Temple is quiet and peaceful, revealing the desertion of fireworks that do not eat the world. Master Wuchen traveled again, so Mu Chen and Mu Qingwan had no chance to visit. The two left the incense money for the temple and left.

Everyone gathered, reorganized a little, and set off again on the second day for the next stop.
