As a city with de facto control from the same army group (Yangzhou was a division under the 11th Army), Jiangzhou has many similarities with Yangzhou, such as the identification of those who enter the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, if you enter the city through the north gate, you do not need to check it.

Outside the West City Gate, there is a direct access to the Yunpan Conservation Area, and there is no telling how many people and vehicles come and go every day, and if you check your identity one by one, it will waste a lot of time for the beast hunters, and it doesn't make much sense.

Outside the West City Gate except for the direct access to the Yunpan Conservation Area, there is no other way at all, if a criminal wants to enter the city from this outside, he needs to go all the way over the mountains and mountains, and the danger is great, how many people will be willing?

Then people who have not verified their identity also have many inconveniences after entering the city, they cannot apply for housing, cannot live in hotels, cannot become animal hunters, cannot work, cannot receive daily minimum living guarantees, and so on.

Would anyone be willing to enter through the West Gate in such a situation?

I don't dare to say that there is no at all, but even if there is, it is absolutely very rare, and it is not much better to waste a lot of animal hunter's time for this very few possible people than to waste food due to choking.

……

"Huh~ Finally entered the city, young master, let's quickly find a hotel to clean up and sleep well!"

It was Ye Yutong who spoke, her voice was full of exhaustion and anticipation of sleep, which was rare in her who was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.

It's really that she suffered too much last night:

There is no problem with flying with a person on the back of the gale at this time, and it is more reluctant to carry two people, even if it consumes demon power, it cannot last, and Chuandong does not dare to be too tired of the gale, what if he encounters any powerful demon beast?

And in the wild, and it is still in the wild at night, it is too dangerous to let Ye Yutong alone for too long, and it is more tiring to let the gale carry people directly to Jiangzhou at a time, so they let the gale carry one person at a time, fly a short distance back to pick up another person, and rest will continue.

That's not the point, the point is that at this time of year, at night, the wind that was originally cool when flying at high speed in the air will turn into a knife-like cold wind.

Chuandong's skin is rough and thick, and her blood is as strong as a furnace, she doesn't feel much, Ye Yutong is sad, even if her physique has reached 1.1 (Chuandong took a piece of World Hall Fragment for her to detect), and her body is close to the wind, she is also frozen enough, and the excitement when she just flew into the sky only lasted less than a minute.

After all, the gale only flies 20 kilometers at most per section, and it only takes a few minutes to go back and forth, so that Ye Yutong can have a time to breathe.

In addition, there are choices of landing sites, there are basically no beasts, even if there are one or two nearby, they are scared away by the strong wind, so Ye Yutong was not unlucky to be attacked by powerful mutant beasts or even demon beasts when he was alone.

By the time he finally arrived at the periphery of the Yunpan Reserve, Ye Yutong had been frozen to the point that his lips were blue and his face was bloodless.

But her sin was not over.

Chuandong felt that Ye Yutong's strength was too low, especially now that the Yin Demons had come out, and he didn't have a relatively strong strength, it was too dangerous to follow him, and it would become a burden to him, so after she had eased up a little, he let her start practicing swords.

Chuandong's so-called sword training is to find mutant beasts to fight.

Ye Yutong didn't have enough time to slowly familiarize herself with the basic sword style, so she could only use such a rough method to stimulate her rapid growth.

Fortunately, she has a good talent in sword practice, and her character is tough enough, so she didn't give it up.

From the time she arrived at the Yunpan Reserve to the dawn, there were almost five hours, and Ye Yutong's rest time only added up to about an hour and a half.

However, after working hard for one night, the harvest is real, and the strength has increased by at least two or three percent.

This is also because her original strength was too low, she only practiced the basic sword style for two days, and then went to Luoyuan Mountain with Chuandong twice, no matter how talented she was, it was impossible to reach a high level at once.

And this night, there is Chuandong, a master of swordsmanship, who personally and meticulously guides and protects him, and there are such good things that others can't get with money, and it can't be said that there is no progress.

--------

After saying that, Ye Yutong didn't hear Chuandong's reply, only saw him stop after walking a few steps.

Ye Yutong stopped and looked at Chuandong with some confusion.

Chuandong looked wistfully at a small forest less than two kilometers to the right, which was almost exactly surrounded by the city wall.

This grove was the grove of the Jade Flower Garden that he was familiar with.

The city wall of Jiangzhou does not encircle the entire urban area, in fact, it is only a small half of the urban area, and it is generally surrounded by most of the previous five old districts, and the three new areas with a large area of the city (county) have been completely placed outside the city wall in the past ten years.

This is also the practice of most cities (basically first- and second-tier cities) that have massively expanded the urban area over the years, and those in power will do this, partly because it will be more conducive to defense after shrinking the defensive line, and it is not good to say when humans will have to defend the city and dare not go out of the city.

And the more important reason is that the World Temple's Guardian Light has a limited range.

In fact, as far as Jiangzhou is concerned, the current scope of the city is still too large, but it is difficult to shrink it further, without it, there are too many people.

As a result, most of the current walls are rough, both in terms of time and in consideration of the fact that they may need to be demolished and rebuilt in the future.

"I won't stay in the hotel today, come with me." Chuandong said and walked towards Yuhuayuan.

Less than two kilometers, it was only a matter of a few minutes to walk briskly, only Ye Yutong suffered again, and he could only trot for a short distance to keep up with Chuan Dong's pace.

There are few original residents of Yuhuayuan, and no one who meets them in the morning recognizes Chuandong, even the old residents who originally knew Chuandong are afraid that they won't recognize him when they meet Chuandong, and the changes are too great.

In another two or three minutes, the two of them stood at the door of Chuandong's house.

Chuandong didn't come to regain his house, he wouldn't stay in Jiangzhou for a long time, it was useless to take it, it would only cause some unnecessary trouble, he just wanted to see it when he came back.

Ye Yutong looked at the door, and then looked at Chuandong, and basically understood that this master should be from Jiangzhou and not Yangzhou, and this house is his home, no wonder he seems to be very familiar with the way all the way.

Looking at it, Ye Yutong found that Chuandong's eyes seemed to be looking at the door, but there was no focus in his eyes.

Gradually, a smile bloomed on Chuandong's face, pure and clean, like a child's innocent smile.

Ye Yutong looked at Chuandong's smile, his eyes were a little misty, and then he also showed a similar smile.

The smile on Chuandong's face, which may not reappear in the future, did not last long, a strong sadness swallowed his smile, and then resentment in sadness was revealed, sadness faded, resentment grew, and resentment regenerated fierceness.

Finally broke out fiercely, became the most evil demon, the deepest hatred, and finally returned to peace.

Ye Yutong's smile was slightly longer, and after the smile was the same sadness, sadness gradually turned to sadness, and then became quiet, and the long silence was followed by a short period of decisive sadness, and finally returned to silence.

Almost at the same time, both of them came back to their senses, and Chuandong turned his head to look at Ye Yutong, and looked at each other for two seconds.

Ye Yutong could only see the calm without waves in Chuandong's eyes, but Chuandong could see her teardrops from the corners of Ye Yutong's eyes and eyelashes, and see her residual emotions from her eyes.

"Tell me about your family."

Chuandong had never asked Ye Yutong about the situation in her family before, maybe because she was an orphan, or maybe he didn't care about this question at all.

After Ye Yutong looked at him for two or three seconds, his eyes became misty again, and he said in an ethereal voice:

"If there is no accident, they should be in Yangzhou by now......"

is a bit similar to Chuandong, Ye Yutong also had a happy childhood, with parents who love her, and her happy time is a little longer than Chuandong's.

Until she was seven years old, when her mother was drying the quilt on the roof of the building, a sudden gust of wind occurred, and the sheet that was being dried was blown by the wind, driving her a few steps and falling downstairs.

At that time, their house was a two-story cement building, and the upstairs was an empty cement flat roof, and at that time, Ye Mu was standing a little more side, and coincidentally when the sheet was being opened, the wind was blowing, and the wind direction was still facing the outside of the building.

Ye Mu didn't have the great luck of people who fell from more than a dozen floors in the news, and only two floors of the roof was equivalent to three floors, and the spine was broken, and the person was paralyzed.

Father Ye was able to take care of Mother Ye more carefully at the beginning, but then he gradually became impatient, and the savings of their family were used up during the operation, Father Ye felt embarrassed in life, and at the same time, he became more and more disgusted with Mother Ye, and began to scold Mother Ye every day, and left all the things about taking care of Mother Ye to his daughter.

Ye Yutong matured a lot more quickly in the great changes in the family at a young age, because it was close to school, in addition to school, even in the morning recess time to go home to take care of his mother.

It's just that she is like this, but it makes Ye's mother feel more guilty and painful, after the accident, Ye's mother is already in mental and physical pain, and after her husband's attitude changes, it is even more painful, Ye Yutong's careful care of her makes her feel sorry for her daughter.

So one afternoon, Ye's father went out to work, and when Ye Yutong went to school, Ye's mother cut her wrist with a fruit knife, and left two lines of words on the bed with blood: "Take care of your daughter" and "Baby, I'm sorry!" After ending his still very young life.

When she was a child, Ye Yutong was very lively and naughty, her mother was sensible and quiet after she fell from the upstairs, but she always laughed happily when she accompanied her mother, and after her mother left, she rarely smiled on her face, and she didn't talk much.

Father Ye finally realized what he had done after his wife's death, coupled with his wife's last words, he was a little reluctant to face his daughter under the remorse and guilt, and the long-term evasion and self-blame not only made them have little communication between them, but also made Father Ye feel unbearable, and gradually had a trace of disgust for his daughter.

Three years later, Ye Yutong was ten years old, and Ye's father remarried.

Another year later, Ye Yutong's half-brother was born.

The stepmother is a scheming person, not long after marrying into the Ye family, she noticed that Ye's father had something wrong with Ye Yutong's mentality, and with the situation of the Ye family that she knew, she had some plans.

So she seemed to love Ye Yutong very much, and when she talked to Ye's father, she would say some pitiful things about her daughter from time to time, and occasionally mention the deceased Ye's mother, which always made Ye's father irritable, and he became more and more unkind to Ye Yutong in his heart.

After Ye Yutong went to junior high school, he boarded at the school, and basically did not go home except for winter and summer vacations.

Most of her classmates went home during the school holidays, and she began to like to read books, like to read books with stories under the trees with flowers and fallen leaves, watch the flowers on the trees bloom and fall, and read the joys and sorrows in the books.

Her academic performance is average, except for good Chinese, especially composition, she must have a copy of the exemplary essay posted after every exam.

It's just that little bit of scenery doesn't seem to be able to bring a little bit of spirit to her when she is still a young man, and it can't make her get into a good high school.

The stepmother's fangs finally showed a little at this time, and she said to Ye's father that since her daughter was not good at studying, she should simply not go to high school and help in the store.

Reading can be wise, and in her opinion, this stepdaughter is better off being her silly daughter quietly.

Two years ago, after Ye's father saved some money, he opened a clothing store, which was just a small mom-and-pop shop, and the business was not good, but it was better than a part-time job.

Ye's father listened to his wife's words and felt that this was okay, he had to buy goods from time to time, as well as deal with some trivial matters, and his wife was often the only one busy in the store, so it was good to ask his daughter to help.

Ye Yutong did not refuse, nor was she self-taught, as in many stories, and then got a good score in the college entrance examination, she just sat in the store and occasionally helped a little, never greeted guests, and most of the time she quietly read books and read books with stories.

Ye's father was dissatisfied, but her stepmother defended Ye Yutong, saying that her personality was like that, and it was really impossible for her to greet guests.

Then the business of the clothing store started to pick up.

Fifteen-year-old Ye Yutong has begun to bloom his beauty, although he is still immature, when he reads quietly, it is a very beautiful scenery, which can attract many customers to enter the door.

The stepmother was very satisfied with her idea, and Ye's father had no opinion, and after the store expanded, she planted a sycamore tree at the door of the store, so that her daughter could read under the tree, and the business would be better, especially when the leaves fell in autumn, it was so good that it exploded.

Ye Yutong's beauty naturally attracted the covetousness of some people, but the stepmother had some means, and she had money in her hands.

The stepmother, who has become more and more widely acquainted, began to look for good buyers when Ye Yutong became an adult, it is not enough to be rich, but also powerful, their family does not have it, but with this beautiful silly daughter, it is possible.

The most famous of Yangzhou's sons is Luo Liangyu, the little overlord of Yangzhou, few people in Gaoshan Town, far away from the city, know Luo Liangyu's name, but his stepmother knows a lot, unmarried, lustful, and his father Luo Laohu is powerful enough, so he is a very suitable candidate.

It's just that Luo Liangyu's level is too high, and she can't climb it.

Then she found that staying in Gaoshan Town, not to mention Luo Liangyu, couldn't catch up with the slightest grade, so she began to discuss with Ye's father to open the store in Yangzhou City.

Father Ye agreed.

But before they could act, the world changed.

Originally, the shrewd stepmother wanted to move to the downtown area of Yangzhou when an animal showed something wrong, and the clothing store closed first, and then came back after a few days to see the situation, but Ye's father was reluctant to be in the hot business, because the plane tree had already shed a small amount of leaves at that time.

Then after a few days, the situation became more and more wrong, and instead of gradually becoming more and more popular as in previous years, the business plummeted, and the stepmother proposed to go to Yangzhou again, and Ye's father agreed, but he said that since he was leaving, he simply sold the store and the goods, and saved it back in the future.

It's a pity that even if they repeatedly lowered the price and wanted to sell the clothing store cheaply, no one took over, and when Father Ye finally wanted to throw away the store and go to Yangzhou, it was already difficult for vehicles to pass on the road, there were few cars, and there were not a lot of dangers, only the bullet train was relatively good, but the ticket could not be bought at all, even if they had money.

Fortunately, there was news that the army would soon go to the township to escort and pick up people, and after another three days of anxiety, the army really came.

In the past few days, my stepmother, who felt more and more that it was impossible to be rich and powerless, sensitively felt that the military would be the biggest force, so she began to use all her skills to find out if the military had a suitable son-in-law.

As a result, Brother Gongzi didn't find out, but learned that a deputy head of the regiment who escorted them was widowed last year and had not remarried.

Stepmother is overjoyed, this is better than Yangzhou Xiaobawang, if they can achieve good things, their family will not talk about sideways in the future, at least no one will dare to despise it.

Although the age of the deputy head of the regiment is two or three years older than her, it is a bit strange to be called after getting married, but what does it matter, just call the name, as for whether the stupid daughter will have an opinion, it doesn't matter.

So she went home excitedly to discuss with Ye's father and talked about the benefits of this family affair.

Father Ye agreed again.

……

Ye Yutong didn't know about the rest of the matter, because she left home.

has always been the stepmother of her quiet silly daughter, but I don't know that the silly daughter has been quietly watching the flowers and leaves fall on the trees and the joys and sorrows in the books over the years, and she has also quietly watched her stepmother's performance.

also watched her biological father's alienation and disgust with her, until he finally treated her as a commodity and tried to sell her for a good price.

"I don't know if he still remembers his mother's last words~"

With the last injury, Ye Yutong left the tree that no longer belonged to her, like a fallen leaf. (To be continued.) )
