Chu Qing nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked Ji Ming, "Brother Ji, are you going to participate in the general election of Wushan Academy?"

Ji Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, I'm this old, and I won't have more achievements in this life! I'm going to go to someone's house to be a guest and eat together." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chu Qing said: "I wish you success!"

Ji Ming looked up at the sky, and then said, "It's not early, Brother Chu, I've told you so much, don't you mind collecting some tuition?"

Chu Qing didn't know what Ji Ming meant, and just opened his mouth to ask, Ji Ming in front of him suddenly disappeared!

Chu Qing was startled, looked left and right, where was there anyone else, only the burning fire in front of him, and the chicken bones littered on the ground, proving that Ji Ming had indeed come.

He's a master!

I wanted to ask how he got to the nearest city, but he ran too fast!

turned around to get the wooden cane, but saw that the yellow-haired dog on the ground was gone!

The corners of Chu Qing's mouth twitched, the corners of his eyes filled with tears, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "My dinner!"

......

The afternoon sun was still quite sunny, Chu Qing carried a wooden cane, pulled a few broad leaves from the trees on the side of the road and put them on his head, and went on the road with a depressed face.

Due to the reason of a cultivation, I was not as tired as before along the way, but the fact that I had no shoes under my feet was really a pain in my feet and a headache. When passing by a small river, Chu Qing put down the leaves on his head, knelt by the water and washed his face, looking at his appearance from the water, he was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his hair was not short. Reaching out and touching the top of his head, his hair was tied up in a bun of rags on top of his head. When he got up, he found that the weeds on the shore were growing well, soft, and long enough, so he pulled some of them, twisted them into strands, and wrapped them around his feet. Then I picked up the one that grew well, pulled out a bundle, and carried it behind my back in case of emergency (the main thing is that you can spread it when it gets dark, which is better than sleeping on the ground). With the grass on his back, the leaves on his back, the wooden staff on his back, and the straw sandals on his feet, Chu Qing continued to walk forward. The back was scratched a little by the blades of grass, and after scratching it twice, it was no big problem to get used to it.

Chu Qing kept walking along the road, and when he met a fork in the road, he picked one at random, and he didn't know him anyway!

There are not many pedestrians on the road, most of them are as unclothed as themselves, and the better ones have shirts, wear coarse cloth short plackets, and are generally shirtless. There are very few means of transportation, all shoulder-carrying, and a few wooden carts.

I don't know if this area is too poor, or if this era is too backward.

Chu Qing inquired about it and learned that this road led to Suicheng, and it was probably more than ten miles away. Chu Qing helped a thin uncle who was on the way to push the car, stopped and walked all the way, and came to the outside of Suicheng City. chatting along the way, I learned that this uncle was delivering supplies to the barracks. The military camp was stationed outside the city, and the two parted ways not far from the city gates. In the end, the uncle sent Chu Qing two pieces of dry food to express his gratitude, and then pushed the cart and turned to the military camp stationed outside the city.

Chu Qing took the dry food, it was two hard coarse breads, and there was no place to put them on his body, so he had to hold them in his hands.

Keep walking, observing the city as you go.

From Chu Qing's point of view, Suicheng is not big, the city wall is very low, only ten meters away, the city gate is only three meters wide and high, there is no city gate tower on the bare, and the city gate hole is engraved with a word like a seal, which should be the word "Sui".

When he came to the city gate, Chu Qing was about to enter the city, but was stopped by the guards at the city gate.

"You!" a black-faced gatekeeper cried, "Eleven!"

Chu Qing didn't understand, looked left and right, there was no one else, and pointed his index finger at his nose and asked the city gate guard: "Me?"

"Don't talk nonsense! hurry!" the gatekeeper waved his hand impatiently.

Chu Qing was puzzled: "What does eleven mean?"

"So stupid, let's come here for the first time!" the city gate guard said impatiently, came up and dragged the grass off Chu Qing's back, took it apart and grabbed a handful, about one-tenth of it, and threw the rest back to Chu Qing, "Go in! This is the city entry tax!"

Chu Qing hugged the grass and suddenly realized, it turned out that he was paying the city tax, but isn't it a bit too much to pay the tax for a bundle of grass! He wouldn't treat me as a grass seller, right, how much money can the grass be worth?

Chu Qing retied the grass into bundles, put it on his back, and entered the city gate hole. Coming out of the shade of the city gate, I entered the city of Suicheng, and I saw a small house. The scorching sun is in the sky, there are not many shops on the street, and there are few pedestrians, so you can see that this is a very barren place. It is not desolate, nor is it prosperous. Chu Qing walked on a dirt road that was not wide, and he didn't know where to go. Come to think of it, let's find something to do and earn some expenses. Ji Ming's matter of the general election of the school palace can also be considered, after all, it sounds like a way out. But now he didn't even know where to sign up except for the fact that he had heard of such a term and knew that there was such a thing.

After wandering around the street for two quarters of an hour (about half an hour), Chu Qing found that he had finished shopping the entire city. It's a small city! At noon, there was no one hanging out on the street, and Chu Qing turned around and was stunned that he didn't even find anyone who inquired!

After shopping for a long time, Chu Qing was thirsty, so he relied on his memory to find the only small food stall in the city, on the side of the street not far from the city gate, there were two earthen houses, the space was not large, and there was a shed outside the door.

Chu Qing saw others shouting, "Shopkeeper, come to a bowl of water!" and also shouted: "Shopkeeper, come to a bowl of water!" In the shade under the shed, he found a table. The table is very low, only about 20 centimeters high, there are no stools, and there is a mattress underneath. Chu Qing sat down and put down the dry food in his hand.

The shopkeepers are dressed in plain clothes, in their thirties, and not tall. Scooped a bowl of water from the water urn in the house, brought it to Chu Qing, and asked with a smile, "Where is the little brother from?"

Chu Qing took the water, took a big sip, wiped his mouth with his arm, and said, "I don't know, it's from outside the city." Suddenly remembering that he had no money, he asked awkwardly, "How much is the water?"

The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand again and again: "Water doesn't cost money, how can you drink water and pay for it!"

Chu Qing put his mind at ease and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, ask which big city is closest to here?"

"Dacheng? That must be our national capital 'Ying'! From here to the southwest, walk along the side of Yunmeng Daze, you can get there in one day and one night! But there are many monsters and monsters in Yunmengze, and there are also haunted around, if you meet it, it will be troublesome!" The shopkeeper said, "Yingdu is a good place, I went there when I was young!"

Yingdu, since it is the capital, there must be a place for the school palace to register for the election, maybe the school palace is in the capital.

Chu Qing took a sip of water, thinking about going to Yingdu in his heart, when suddenly a shadow enveloped him and the shopkeeper! Looking up, he saw a tall fierce man with a blue face and fangs looking at him.

The fierce man was two meters tall, his face was full of beard, his hair was tied up randomly, his muscles were stiff and bulging, and he could feel his beast-like explosive power through his clothes! He stared at two bull's eyes, staring straight at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing swallowed dryly: "This big brother, is there something wrong?"
