Because of a sudden heavy rain, the departure time could only be moved to the afternoon.

The wheels of the carriage were crushing with the wet mud, rolling the little grass and flowers that had just hailed the arrival of a new world in the spring rain, ready to set off.

Although he had an extra morning to prepare his luggage, Jiang Li really didn't have any belongings that needed to be counted repeatedly, and they were all things that would not distress if they were lost, and they had already been thrown into his storage ring by him. So one morning, he sat on the sidelines like no one else, watching the maids in the city lord's mansion and the girls in the red-sleeved building moving things into the carriage endlessly.

The two groups of women who disliked each other still didn't say anything to each other, but secretly competed under their hands. You let it go, you let it go, I have to put it up for the better.

From candied melon seeds to pillow quilts, and so on. The basin spittoon was just that, and he even prepared a set of spatulas, only to see Jiang Li dumbfounded, thinking that if he met someone he didn't know, most of them would think that he was a grocery man who traveled south and north.

It was easy to find a harvest after the rain, and Jiang Li, who could finally calm down, sat on the wheel of the carriage, holding the reins in one hand and waving frequently to the team seeing off with the other.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Wu Su'er back safely." Jiang Li waved his fist vigorously into the air, although he was still a little worried in his heart, he was extremely resolute and decisive, which was the right thing to do.

Jiang Li waved his hand towards the crowd, especially Cao Ru and Yu Haoxin on the stone steps in the back row, and Liu Xiaoxiao, gently pulling the reins of the horse, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

Originally, Yu Haoxin still wanted to go together to help the brothers and heroes save the beauty, but when he saw the sleeping gray cat curled up on the roof of the carriage, he silently dispelled the idea of going together, and stayed in Nanshao to teach his disciples with peace of mind.

The carriage slowly went out of the south gate, the two horses who were born and grew up in the lively city, they were extremely excited about the first time in their lives, they didn't care that there was a carriage behind them, they just snorted excitedly and raised their hooves, if it weren't for Jiang Li's worry about the treasure stuffed behind him, he never dared to let go of the reins in his hand, otherwise he was afraid not to run away.

After passing through a few small villages and towns, the road gradually became muddy and rugged, and the two horses lost interest in simple speed, so they gradually slowed down. It had been a long time since the sound of the bustling people had been heard, only the dull sound of horses' hooves was heard very clearly in the wilderness.

From time to time, there were little beasts that were hiding in the middle of nowhere, probably because someone had intruded into their already divided territory, so they looked extremely angry. It's just that after all, it was the first time to see such a behemoth as a double carriage, and he didn't dare to approach rashly, so he could only let out a threatening howl and watch the carriage gradually move away.

"What a madman."

Jiang Li seemed to be sitting on the wheel of the car and looking at the verdant green grass beside the road after the rain, but in fact, his thoughts had already drifted to the letter that Li Zhen specially left for him.

"What is called her man in my hands, for the sake of fairness, my woman must be in her hands!" Jiang Li spat angrily on the side of the road, and said angrily, "Fart is fair, Lao Tzu is owed, I knew that I would kill this crazy woman at the bridge, and there would not be so much trouble." ”

The fur on his body has not yet grown, so the gray cat uncle who was ashamed of himself and refused to see people has already suffocated, and at this moment the sky is high and the sea is wide and uninhabited, and he has to lie on the roof of the car and is unwilling to hide in the car to sleep. It wagged its tail in deep approval.

Jiang Li was indignant and spitting saliva all the way, after all, Uncle Mao was too lazy to speak, and he felt dull and tasteless when he was less harmonious, except for his dry mouth, there was no substantive effect. It is also wishful thinking to rely on a few vulgar words that I have just learned to relieve the depression in my heart.

But Uncle Cat listened to it with a heartfelt pleasure, and when he heard the highlights, he couldn't stop scratching his claws on the roof of the carriage twice, so he was not happy.

At this time, it was dusk, and the mountains in the twilight looked like an old ink painting, with a gloomy silence. Thinking that if you go further south, you will enter the mountains, although for the cultivators, they will not find it inconvenient to stay in the mountains and forests at night, but if they have a choice, they still prefer to find a comfortable place to live in a flat area.

Jiang Li took out the map and looked at it carefully, and drove the carriage to a fork in the road.

It was a road leading to the river beach in the distance, and it was supposed to have had a very prosperous past, so the road in front of it was built so wide that it could easily accommodate two horse-drawn carriages passing side by side. The gravel mixed with the earth has been repeatedly crushed into an extremely tight pavement that is difficult to penetrate by the tenacious growth of seedlings, and the bare meandering path contrasts sharply with the lush vegetation on both sides.

Jiang Li leaned on the wheel very comfortably, facing the sunset, blowing the spring breeze, humming an out-of-tune southern Xinjiang song, letting the carriage move forward slowly, just rushing to the river beach before it was completely dark.

Even if you can't make it, it's not a big deal.

Since Li Zhen's crazy woman made an appointment to meet in the mountains of Nanyi a year ago, and there is plenty of time now, Jiang Li is not very anxious, let alone in a hurry, so he simply put aside his troubled mood first, and look at it.

He flipped over the parchment map in his hand, and the place newly circled with an ink pen on it was located in the depths of the mountain, which was exactly the place agreed by Li Zhen. There were also some small brown dots on the map, which were all places that Jiang Li had marked earlier to explore, and they were all related to the integral tasks released in the Sword Pavilion.

There was a brown dot next to Li Zhen's gesture, Jiang Li tilted his head and thought for a moment, and finally figured out the origin of this brown dot. It is said that there is a rhino spirit vine in that area, although it is not very valuable, it is extremely rare, and it is an indispensable main medicine in a few partial pills, and an elder in the Sword Pavilion issued a reward of ten points for this.

Compared to the difficulty of the task, ten points is a very generous reward, a first-class conscience. After all, it's not a Longtan tiger's den, it's purely a matter of trying luck in the past.

Thinking that this trip was a double win, Jiang Li felt a lot more comfortable. When the time comes, the beauty is on the side, the points are in hand, the big winner in life, and the beauty is wonderful.

At this time, the carriage slowly drove up a low hillside, and from above, there was a meadow as far as the eye could see, and a river of no grandeur meandered through the middle of the meadow, because of the reflection of the sunset in the western sky, the sparkling waves shimmered with red and purple lights, like a garment decorated with countless precious stones in a beautiful dream.

The upper reaches of the river beach have been occupied. Jiang Li roughly counted, there were a dozen carriages, plus some horses scattered on the grass grazing, it looked like a medium-sized caravan.

The carriages were parked in a very elaborate manner, and they formed a semi-arc from end to end, enclosing several white tents inside. There were also a few small tents scattered around the perimeter of the carriage, which looked like they were supposed to be sentry posts for the duty of guard.

At this time, it was time for dinner, and the men were busy digging in the grass to make a fire for cooking, and the women were washing rice and vegetables or washing clothes by the river. Three or two children were running happily on the grass with the puppy. The sound of talking and laughter with a sense of life came from afar, making Jiang Li, who had not seen the same kind for a few days, feel cordial.

Just being kind doesn't mean you have to join in, Jiang Li looked at the dirt slope for a while, and then set up a carriage and slowly drove downhill to the downstream of the river beach.

At this time, it was not dark, and the carriage was moving in the background of green grass everywhere, which was particularly abrupt and eye-catching, and someone in the caravan had already discovered the lonely carriage, stopped the work in their hands and pointed, and some people waved their hands and shouted something to this side, but the distance was too far, mixed with the wind that gradually rose with the night, and they could not hear clearly.

Jiang Li stopped the car next to the river, got into the carriage and rummaged around, sure enough, they were all prepared by the women who didn't go far away, and there were a lot of snacks and all kinds of dried meat, but there was no tent. Probably they felt comfortable sleeping in the carriage.

But you stuffed the carriage to the brim, and if I hadn't had a storage ring, would you expect me to sleep on the food you had prepared?

Jiang Li glanced at the caravan upstream, remembering that although he had a spatula with him, he had never camped outside, and his skills in digging and burying stoves were really sparse and usual. Not to mention, there are no fresh ingredients ready for cooking, so I don't have to go hunting and fishing again.

That's it, let's continue to eat dry food snacks.

I've only eaten for three or two days after bringing so much, so I can't waste it, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Li glanced at the top of the carriage and said respectfully, "Uncle Mao, let's eat a little together today, and we will eat something fresh and hot tomorrow when we meet the villages and towns." ”

The gray cat on the top of the carriage who opened its eyes in a daze found the ground, it hunched its back and stretched a few lazy waists, while listening to Jiang Li's words, it couldn't help but scold a few times with disdain in his heart, thinking that this melon baby had been saying the same thing for three days, and seeing that it would become more and more desolate if he went further into the mountain, the ghost believed his words.

Even if the cold leaf wine and dried wind fish are fragrant, they can't stand eating them every day. As for the candied fruit that those women ate, it was eaten by cats! Even those large boxes of dried meat can only be used as snacks, and it will be too bad to eat two more pieces.

Not to mention tricking Lao Tzu into experiencing exotic customs, what do you say about long legs and big breasts, but as a result, what happened to the tiger girl who secretly pointed out to me yesterday??

That's what people do!!

Thinking of the tiger girl's resentful and disdainful eyes when she left, Uncle Gray Cat was very hurt and felt a little ashamed. So he couldn't bear to bare his fangs, and his stomach had nowhere to vent, and he held it in his stomach and made a gurgling sound.

Jiang Li looked around in amazement, thinking to himself what was worth being so happy in this wild place.

In the midst of his doubts, he saw a horse galloping towards him from the place where the caravan had been encamped.
