Chapter 14: Go to Qin Feng Town
On the main road leading to Qinfeng Town in the fairy pass, there are two people and a cat walking side by side, two people are a man and a woman, the woman is about thirty years old, wearing an indigo blue coarse cloth skirt, covering the whole body, the black silk on the top of the head is tied up with a cyan cloth strip at will, and then look at the face, the round face is slightly pale, the curved willow eyebrows are slightly charming, and the black eyes seem to be able to speak. But if you observe the woman carefully and confidently, you will find that although she is the age of a flower, the woman's face is full of vicissitudes.
The woman's side is a little boy, about seven or eight years old, the height is also like an ordinary boy, about one meter three or four, the little boy is wearing an earthy yellow robe, a pair of eyes reveal a wisdom that does not match his age, on the little boy's shoulders slanted back this floral baggage, the burden is full of things, and in the little boy's right hand, he also holds a one-and-a-half-foot-long wooden knife, and the little boy is waving it casually while walking.
Next to the little boy, there was an ugly cat with a few long gray-brown hairs all over its body, and it was struggling with its small short legs, keeping up with the woman and the little boy.
This woman, a child, and a cat are Zhang Tianyou, Duanmu Rong and Xiaobai who came out of the fairy pass. Today is the time to hand over the embroidery work, the original embroidery work, the embroidery sample has always been in the hands of Liu's mother, but unfortunately, Liu's mother has suffered some wind cold in recent days, and it is inconvenient to go outside to blow the wind, so Duanmu Rong replaced Liu's mother to the embroidery village to hand over, and by the way, take some embroidery samples home. Zhang Tianyou heard that Duanmu Rong was going to Qinfeng Town, and he said that he would come with him, he had not left the village since he was so big, he had always hoped to see what the outside world was like, and hoped to learn more about this world. So this time I had to come with me no matter what, and Duanmu Rong saw that she couldn't resist him, so she agreed to take him to the town with her.
In the past few years, Zhang Tianyou has insisted on practicing martial arts every day, because of the relatively large amount of activity, so he is slightly taller than children of the average age, and after several years of training, he has also achieved a little results, according to his current state, ordinary adults are not necessarily his opponents. And Xiaobai is inseparable from Zhang Tianyou, almost wherever Zhang Tianyou goes, Xiaobai will go, even when Zhang Tianyou sleeps at night, Xiaobai has to get into Zhang Tianyou's bed, because of this, Zhang Tianyou was ridiculed by Duanmurong and Liu's mother, but Zhang Tianyou couldn't help it, he knew that Xiaobai should be a member of the family, and he didn't dare to stay alone, only with him could he feel safe.
"You'er, are you tired? Come and give the burden to your mother, you will be in town right away" Duanmu Rong was worried that her son was tired, and wanted to take the burden off Zhang Tianyou's shoulders several times along the way, but she was refused.
"Mother, I'm not tired, this burden is very light, you see if it's Qin Fengzhen in front" Zhang Tianyou cherished this hard-won maternal love very much, worried that his mother would be tired, and rushed to carry a backpack with Duanmu Rong along the way. Although this burden weighs nearly 20 pounds, and Zhang Tianyou is only 7 years old, in the past four or five years, Zhang Tianyou's hardships have not been in vain. His current strength is far beyond the range of his age, almost comparable to that of an ordinary adult man, and twenty pounds is really not very heavy for him. In order not to let his mother continue to be entangled in this burden, Zhang Tianyou pointed to the town not far in front and said.
"Yes, there is Qin Feng Town in front, you must follow your mother when you get to the town later, don't run around, there are a lot of people in the town, it's easy to get lost" Seeing that Qin Feng Town was in front of him, Duanmu Rong no longer bothered about who was carrying the burden, and then explained to Zhang Tianyou some precautions after entering the town.
"Got it, mother, I'll pay attention," Zhang Tianyou said he understood what his mother meant.
While the two were talking, they came to the entrance of Qin Feng Town, where there was already a long queue, waiting to be inspected into the town, and then Zhang Tianyou took a closer look at this town that he had "longed for" for a long time. This town is not at all like the towns of Huaxia in the previous life, it is completely open. It is a bit like the ancient city in the previous life, the town is surrounded by a blue brick city wall more than two zhang high, the wall is extremely smooth, there is no point of climbing at all, and people can only enter and exit from the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest. Zhang Tianyou and the road they came over corresponds to the west gate of Qinfeng Town, the city gate is about three zhang wide and two zhang high, the city gate is composed of half a meter thick wooden plank, the estimated weight of these two doors is 2000 kilograms, and no five or six people want to open it. Directly above this city gate are carved four big characters, these words Zhang Tianyou knows, it is "Qin Feng Zhenxi".
"Boy, what are you in a daze? Hurry up and get out of the way, don't delay others to go in" A loud shout interrupted Zhang Tianyou's thoughts. Immediately after, I heard Duanmu Rong's voice
"You'er, don't be in a daze, hurry up"
"This military master, I'm sorry, let's leave immediately, please put out the fire, don't be like a child"
"Get out of here"
At this time, Zhang Tianyou found that there was no one in line in front of him, that is, it was their turn to enter the city, although he heard a few soldiers scolding him, a little angry, but he also knew that it was his fault, and he did block the way of others. And the other party just scolded him to get out, and there was no other vicious language. He didn't dwell on it any longer.
"Let's go, Mother"
"Mother, why is this town walled? And use the wall here to be so high" Leaving the city gate, Zhang Tianyou asked the doubts in his heart, this place in Qinfeng Town is relatively partial, it stands to reason that such a small town, few people value it, and there will hardly be a war, why do you have to spend so much effort to build a wall, and this wall is almost made of blue-striped stone, which shows that a lot of resources were invested when building this town at that time.
"I've heard of this, but have you noticed that these walls are actually very dilapidated. These walls have existed for a long, long time, estimated to be at least hundreds of years, and they were mainly built to resist wild beasts."
"Resist the beast?" Zhang Tianyou felt very puzzled.
After Duanmu Rong's detailed explanation, of course, Duanmu Rong also heard from elsewhere, Qingfeng Town is relatively close to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, and there are often wild beasts on the mountain wandering here, if it is okay during the day, everyone can organize an effective defense, if it is at night, the beasts come over, everyone is asleep, and it will cause a lot of losses. Of course, if only a wild beast came occasionally, it would not have made people spend a lot of effort to build such a high wall, and the purpose of building the wall was mainly to resist the tide of beasts. Legend has it that the beasts of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range rushed out of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range in groups, and they bit people when they saw them, making Qingfeng Town almost one out of ten, and after the beast tide, people were worried that the same thing would happen in the future, so they spontaneously organized and built this Qinfeng Town.
