Chapter 7: Tamagawa Castle
On this day, before dawn, Mo Han got up and packed some things, such as clothes, dry food, and some more precious herbs.
Clothing, dry food and clothing were necessities, and herbs were taken out in exchange for some currency for outside use.
Since you have decided that you want to go out and have a look, you need to be prepared.
After packing up, Mo Han went up the mountain with some things he had prepared!
He wants to say goodbye to the old man!
The old man's tomb is on the hill behind the house, although the mountain is not high, about a hundred feet, but there is a unique scenery on the top of the mountain, and you can see the sunrise and sunset every day.
In order to make it easier to walk, Mo Han also spent a long time carving out a path in the mountains.
Mo Han walked slowly along the path, and soon reached the top of the mountain.
Originally, the top of this mountain was bare and flat, but since the old man was buried here, Mo Han gradually transplanted a few trees, and many flowers and plants were planted on the ground, which changed its appearance.
Because the old man likes willow trees, Mo Han also specially found the largest willow tree in the vicinity and planted it next to the old man's tomb. In order to transplant this tree, I also asked the nearby villagers to help, and it took a lot of effort to transplant it up the mountain.
There are two tombs under the tree, one is the old man's, and the other is the middle-aged man who died in the mountain with Mo Han in his arms.
Later, after the old man died, Mo Han also moved his tomb over.
First, although I don't know who he is, after all, I may not be able to live without him, and I should do something for him. Second, just be a companion with the elderly, so you won't be too lonely!
He walked gently to the graves of the two men, knelt down, and took out his things and put them on the table, a plate of vegetables, a bowl of meat and some fruits, a pot of turbid wine, and two wine glasses.
He lit candles and incense again, then took a few steps back and solemnly kowtowed nine times!
After kowtowing, Mo Han didn't get up, but quietly continued to kneel in front of the old man's tomb.
After a while, Mo Han slowly spoke, his voice reluctant.
"Grandpa, I came today to say goodbye to you!"
After saying a word, Mo Han paused before continuing: "In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three years, although the life of a person is a little lonely, but I have lived well in the past few years, you can rest assured!"
"A few days ago, I encountered some things and dangers, but in the end, they all turned into good fortune. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I was afraid that you would be worried!"
"It was because of those things that I realized that the world was not what we thought it was. That Luo girl said, this world is very big, and there are many wonderful things out there, far more incredible than we imagined!"
"Maybe you've been living alone for too long, and you've been feeling bored and lonely lately, and you don't know what to do? So I want to go out and check it out!"
After speaking, Mo Han fell silent again, kneeling there quietly, as if waiting for the old man to answer!
I don't know how long it took, but the sun slowly rose and the day dawned.
Mo Han, who had been silent for a long time, made a move.
He kowtowed a few more times, then stood up.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving!" Mo Han said softly.
At this moment, a fresh wind suddenly blew, causing the flowers and plants to rustle, and the branches and leaves of the trees kept shaking.
The willow tree next to the old man's grave is also a willow branch swaying lightly at this time.
In a trance, he vaguely saw that the willow tree turned into an old man, waving at him kindly, as if to say to him, take care!
Mo Han looked at this scene and instantly reddened his eyes.
"I'll live well!" Mo Han agreed loudly.
As soon as the words fell, he turned and went down the mountain.
......
Tamagawa Castle.
Compared with those big cities that often cover an area of thousands of miles and millions of miles, Yuchuan City can only be regarded as a small city, with a radius of no more than a thousand miles. Because it is built on the Tamagawa mountain range, it is called Tamagawa.
Although it is said to be a small town, it is actually extremely majestic.
The city walls are all made of basalt magic rocks, and the city walls are hundreds of zhang high on all sides, which encompasses all the thousands of miles of land, and only one hundred zhang high and dozens of zhang wide city gates are left on all sides for personnel to enter and exit.
From a distance, Tamagawa Castle looks like a fierce beast crawling here, with its huge mouth open, waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.
At this time, it was noon.
Tamagawa Castle, West Gate.
Inside and outside the city gate, people come and go, so it's not lively.
At this time, a caravan appeared outside the city gate, carrying more than a dozen truckloads of goods, and was slowly moving this way!
"Stop!" When the caravan came to the city gate, a defender stretched out his hand to block the way, "Is there a pass token?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."The leader of the caravan, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, hurriedly jumped down from the wagon with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and took out a jade plaque from his bosom, and handed it to the soldiers defending the city.
The soldier defending the city took the jade plaque and turned to the soldiers behind him and shouted, "You guys, go check it!"
And the merchant didn't have any objections, obviously it wasn't the first time he had come to this Yuchuan City!
It didn't take long for several soldiers to come back and report to the defender, "Normal!"
The soldier nodded when he heard this, returned the jade plaque to the merchant, and waved his hand back: "Release!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
The merchant smiled and thanked him, and shook the soldier's hand vigorously, as if he had stuffed something into the soldier's hand!
Without waiting for the soldiers to react, the merchant turned around and commanded the caravan and entered the city!
The caravan quickly entered the city, and at this time, a handsome young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a gray linen robe, approached the merchant and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, why don't other people need tokens to enter and exit, but they are looking for us?"
"Because we have a lot of people and a lot of things!" the merchant smiled, "After all, the caravan is too conspicuous, and it must be checked!"
The boy sighed, indicating that he understood.
"Having said that, Yuchuan City has arrived, and after the goods are traded, we will leave for home, so we will not delay here, this time we are too anxious, and there are still many things to be dealt with at home. As he spoke, the merchant suddenly changed his voice and asked the young man, "You... You're leaving, aren't you?"
The young man nodded: "I came out this time to look around." However, I still want to thank my uncle for taking him in that day!"
As he spoke, the young man bowed earnestly to the merchant!
The merchant laughed and waved his hand: "Excuse me, your surname is Mo, and my surname is Mo, we were one family five hundred years ago, and the family does not speak two words." What's more, you've helped me a lot in the past month!"
The boy is none other than Mo Han.
Since he came out of the mountains, he has slept all the way, because he is not familiar with this world, he has suffered a lot of losses, and he has even brushed shoulders with death several times, which makes Mo Han secretly happy, fortunately, he opened a shackle that day, became stronger, and let himself have a little self-protection ability!
A month ago, in a mountain forest, I happened to see that this caravan was in some trouble, so I helped them!
At that time, Mo Han was a little speechless, there was not a single cultivator in this caravan, so he dared to come out to deliver goods?!
However, I later learned that the reason was that this batch of goods was too urgent to ask for cultivators, and I had walked this road many times and did not encounter any danger, so I came out in a hurry!
The merchant is also surnamed Mo, called Mo Dachuan!
Mo Dachuan saw that he was alone, looking a little embarrassed, and in order to express his gratitude, he invited him to go together!
So, Mo Han followed the caravan and came to this Yuchuan City.
However, the caravan has its own business, and the route is fixed, and Mo Han came out this time to see everywhere, so their fate can only be here temporarily.
"Okay, in that case, let's leave it here!" Mo Dachuan said.
Mo Han nodded, took off his burden from the truck, carried it on his back, and then said goodbye to Mo Dachuan!
"Take it!"
Before leaving, Mo Dachuan stuffed a bag of silver to Mo Han and said, "Uncle is a layman, and he has nothing to give you before leaving, so you can keep this silver for later use!"
Seeing that Mo Han was about to refuse, Mo Dachuan's face suddenly turned straight and said, "Meeting is fate, do you want to reject our fate?"
When Mo Han heard this, he had no choice but to accept it!
After Mo Han put away the silver bag, Mo Dachuan smiled again and waved his hand: "Okay, let's meet again!"
"Uncle, there will be a date later!"
Mo Han also waved goodbye, then turned to leave.
Mo Dachuan looked at Mo Han's back and was speechless for a long time.
At this time, a person who looked like a family man walked to Mo Dachuan's side, looked at the back of Mo Han leaving, and said, "Boss, how can I feel that Xiao Han, this child, will definitely have a great future in the future!"
Mo Dachuan did not speak.
It's just that I can't help but think of the scene when Mo Han met them for the first time!
On that day, they encountered several fierce tigers in the mountains and forests, and just when they were in despair, Mo Han fell from the sky and knocked down those beasts with a few punches!
That moment.
Mo Han's emaciated figure is a bit majestic!
