Chapter XXVI: Arrival

Zhang Fang walked forward quickly, not caring about the muddy water on the road, and letting it hit his body, his whole body was already soaked and dirty.

"You go in first to talk to my mother!" Zhang Fang instructed Han Yunrou and took the horsewhip in her hand with one hand.

He knew very well that after experiencing a strange and dangerous scene, Zhang's mother must be panicked and anxious in her heart, and it was very necessary for someone to talk to her and enlighten her, which was also the reason why Zhang Fang rescued Han Yunrou in the first place.

He had long considered that Zhang's mother might encounter discomfort during the journey, and that he needed someone to comfort her. Zhang's mother experienced a long journey for the first time, and her mood was already very heavy, and this depressed mood could not be easily soothed.

"Yes!" replied Han Yunrou.

After a whole night of fright, it is not so easy to get a good night's sleep now, at least you have to calm down.

Nothing to say all night!

The next day, as the sky dawned, a carriage drove slowly down the path, and by this time, the rain had stopped. The whole world was washed by the rain, and it was renewed, and the life and vitality of all things were more open.

On both sides of the road are green grasses, green bushes, and gorgeous and fragrant flower bones, all of which are now covered with pearl-like crystal clear dewdrops.

Countless birds in the forest were crying happily, and the sound was pleasant, and even Han Yunrou, who was asleep, woke up and sat upright, quietly listening to this beautiful note.

After two days of continuous driving, Zhang Fang finally drove the carriage to a huge city.

This is the first important city in the south, Linshan County. Linshan County is the gateway to the south, and it is very prosperous, and the daily flow of people is particularly large.

This is the first time Zhang Fang has seen such a huge city, and compared with Qishui, the scale is one day and one place, not the same day.

Qishui is only a small city on the border of the north, how can it compare to the prosperous county town in the south, and even the city guards guarding the city are four times that of Qishui City, as many as eight people.

The flow of people at the city gate is very large, endless, and the traffic is busy, and it is very lively.

Many civilians carried vegetables, tea, and a small cart of wooden handicrafts into the city to sell, and some people even accompanied some children to join in the fun.

Summer has arrived, the weather is getting hotter, and there are many simple tea sheds on both sides of the open space in front of the city gate for passers-by to quench their thirst and cool off.

The carriage traveled on a flat road, and there were no more bumps in the road of the previous journey.

The ground is paved with very flat bluestone slabs, which are smooth and clean, and are usually maintained by special cleaning personnel.

"Brother Zhang, pull aside! Madame is thirsty. A lark-like voice came from inside the carriage, and Zhang Fang immediately drove the carriage to stop at the edge of a tea shed.

"Mother, let's go to the tea shed to drink some tea and take a rest. Zhang Fang stopped the carriage and then picked up Zhang's mother.

The tea shed was very small, and the owner was a young man, dressed in a plain light cyan shirt, and he was very energetic when he wore it, and his dark eyes looked very shrewd.

"Three guest officers, what do you want? The young man walked over to the table, wiped the wooden table, and asked politely.

He saw Zhang Fang and the others get down from the carriage with his own eyes, especially the big knife that Zhang Fang put on the table.

He also runs the rivers and lakes, and he can always meet many people on the rivers and lakes, and this ability to recognize people is still not bad, otherwise he would not have lived until now.

"Three bowls of herbal tea. Zhang replied.

"Okay! He picked up the teapot and immediately poured herbal tea for Zhang Fang and the others.

"Listening to the guest officer's accent, it doesn't seem to be a local!" the young man said with a smile.

"Yes, we're from out of town. Zhang Fang said lightly and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Boss, I don't know if you've heard the latest news from the Northland!" Zhang Fang asked with a smile, squinting his eyes.

"Northland, isn't the guest officer from Northland?" the young man looked at Zhang Fang, with a trace of inexplicable horror in his eyes, as well as a hint of vigilance.

"No!" Zhang Fang said in a deep voice, something strange happened in the Northland, and the owner of the tea shed looked abnormal, admitting that he was from the Northland, which was not a wise choice.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "I have heard a few words from people passing by recently, and you also know that there are many outsiders passing by in this Linshan County every day. ”

As if reminiscing, the young man said with a strange look on his face: "Yesterday, I heard that several cities in the north suffered from a plague, and many people died, and now they are all blocked by the imperial court. ”

"Plague?" Zhang Mu was shocked, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Han Yunrou is the same, it is clear that she has encountered a strange and demonic disaster, how can it be a plague, they are witnesses to this matter.

"Yes, it's the plague, it is said that it is a very serious chicken plague, and it is hot and it is inevitable that this kind of thing will not happen. The young man also sighed.

"Well, I hope the people there will be free from the sea of misery soon!" said the young man with a sympathetic face.

Zhang Fang didn't say anything, this situation was also in line with his guess, and the imperial court didn't want this kind of thing to cause panic among the people.

"Boss, I don't know where the best inn is in Linshan County?" Zhang asked with a slow down.

"This restaurant is the best, not only can you listen to music and books, but also the wine and food are a must, and it is backed by a big gang, and ordinary people do not dare to make trouble there, which is quite safe. "The lad obviously knows a lot about the situation in the city.

"However, it's just too expensive, and ordinary people like me can't afford it. The young man looked helpless.

"Thank you boss. Zhang Fang said.

What he needs is the kind of inn with good security, so that when he leaves the restaurant to go out to do errands, he doesn't have to worry about Zhang's mother's safety.

After sitting in the tea shed for a while, Zhang Fang and his party drove the carriage into the city again.

The city was full of shouting and selling, and it was very lively, and this kind of lively scene was something that Zhang Mu and Yunrou had never seen.

"Drunken Immortal Brew! The best drunken immortal brew, drank the race immortal, twenty Wen one altar, thirty Wen two altars. ”

"Feitian Suo! Feitian Shensuo, who can go to the sky, is thirty wen a piece, and it is sold cheaply!"

"Clay dolls! good-looking clay dolls, one for three cents, two for five cents, the more you buy, the more discounts. ”

Listening to the cries of the hawkers, passing through the dense crowd and a few more streets, the carriage stopped at a lively inn.

Enron Inn.

After placing Zhang Mu Yunrou properly, and leaving a few hundred taels of silver, Zhang Fang left alone and went to the city to find out where to buy a good house.

Originally, in this strange city, it was also a little inappropriate to leave Zhang's mother alone, but after all, it was not very convenient to take them.

Besides, they are not as good as Zhang Fang, plus they are tired from the journey, and it is good to rest and relieve fatigue.
