Chapter Ninety-Five: Or Let's Do It All Over Again
A remote place outside the city gate of Huai'an Mansion.
A gust of cold wind gently passed, and two figures appeared outside.
Chu Xingyun felt like he had been riding in a bumpy carriage, dizzy.
After a few breaths of relief, Chu Xingyun came back to his senses, stroked his chest and said:
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, what happened just now, why do I feel so ....... Well? ”
Discovering the towering city wall made of rammed earth and blue bricks in front of him, Chu Xingyun's expression was stunned for a moment.
Although Qingshui County is also surrounded by several walls that are not low, Chu Xingyun is an authentic Qingshui County person, so he can see at a glance that the city in front of him is not the county seat where he has lived for more than ten years!
Sensing that something was wrong, Chu Xingyun was shocked in his heart, turned his head to look at Su Ming, and asked with a stammer:
"Sir, what is this place? Weren't we still in your courtyard just now? How did we get to this place in a blink of an eye? ”
Su Ming smiled when he heard this, and said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't have time to participate in the Huai'an Mansion exam, and you want to come to Huai'an Mansion quickly?" ”
"I saw that you were in such a hurry, and I wanted to rush to the entrance examination, so I used a little trick and quickly sent you to Huai'an Mansion."
"What? Sir, are you saying that the front is Huai'an Mansion? ”
Chu Xingyun's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "Qingshui County is at least three hundred miles away from Huai'an Mansion, and according to normal words, you have to walk for at least five or six days to walk from Qingshui County to Huai'an Mansion." ”
"And Mr. Su, you actually brought me from Qingshui County to Huai'an Mansion in an instant, this, this, this ..........."
In the end, Chu Xingyun was a little speechless when he was shocked.
Su Ming was not surprised by this, but smiled: "It's just a little trick, don't care, now you shouldn't worry about not being able to catch up with the Huai'an Mansion test." ”
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun wanted to cry.
Now there are more than ten days left before the Huai'an Mansion Examination.
The reason why he urged Su Ming to come to Huai'an Mansion early was more to experience the fun of the trip and see the scenery along the way, as for whether he could catch the house test, he was actually not worried.
But Su Ming now brought Chu Xingyun to Huai'an Mansion in an instant, which made all the plans in his heart come to naught.
For a while, a sense of disparity rose in his heart, making Chu Xingyun feel extremely frustrated.
Seeing this, Su Ming was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Suppressing the frustration in his heart, Chu Xingyun replied in a low tone: "It's nothing, I just think it's ....... Some too fast. ”
"Too fast?"
Su Ming paused, he still thought that Chu Xingyun had not experienced enough wind talismans, so he felt frustrated.
So after thinking for a while, Su Ming looked at Chu Xingyun with a lost expression, and asked, "Then why don't we do it again?" ”
"I'll slow down this time, how about I make sure you try to experience the ultimate speed?"
I want the pleasure of the trip, not the speed!
Chu Xingyun complained in his heart, then sighed and said, "Don't bother, Mr. Su, you can be safe." ”
Hearing this, Su Ming nodded and said good, and then led Chu Xingyun towards the city gate in front.
Because of the cold weather, not many people entered and exited Huai'an Mansion, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were also lazy and did not check the people too much.
Entering Huai'an Mansion, tiled buildings next to each other appeared in Chu Xingyun's eyes.
Looking at those buildings that seemed to be out of sight, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but mutter, "It's so big........"
Chu Xingyun's voice was not small, and when the passers-by heard this, they handed him a look like a hillbilly.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun hurriedly put away his expression that he had never seen the world and returned to normal.
"Xingyun, now that you have arrived at Huai'an Mansion, what are you going to do next?"
Hearing Su Ming's question, Chu Xingyun thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"It's still early before the start of the house exam, so I plan to live in Huai'an Mansion for a while and review the scriptures taught by the master."
Although Chu Xingyun said so, his eyes that kept looking left and right, and returned to excitement revealed his thoughts.
Seeing this, Su Ming just smiled, he could understand Chu Xingyun's state of mind at the moment.
Just like in his previous life, he left his hometown for the first time to work in a big city, and his first thought was to have a good time in the big city first.
"Let's go, Xingyun, I'll take you for a walk."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed Su Ming, who was walking towards the street in front of him.
Half a month has passed since the last exorcism war, and the people of Huai'an Mansion have gradually forgotten about it.
In addition, winter is coming, and the streets of Huai'an Mansion have returned to a prosperous and lively scene, and the people in the city are rushing to buy items for the winter.
However, prosperity is only a superficial phenomenon, there are many rich people in Huai'an Mansion, and the poor will naturally not be less.
Some poor people wearing patched coats, because they don't have much money to buy charcoal and other winter goods, can only take out the vegetables grown at home, or other things that can be exchanged for money, and sit in the cold wind and shout loudly to sell.
And in some streets or alleys, you can also see beggars in shabby clothes, or sitting, kneeling, or lying down begging.
When the cold wind blew, their faces were red from the cold, or they became pale without a trace of blood.
But even if their bodies were frozen and shivering from the cold wind, they did not dare to stop begging.
After all, this is their only livelihood, if they stop, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they may lie in some wasteland because of cold and hunger, and die quietly.
But on the other side, the picture is completely different.
In the spacious and bright restaurant, it is steaming, and from time to time there are bursts of the smell of food, and the laughter and drinking of some rich children in brocade clothes.
Some beggars who haven't eaten a bite of food for several days, after smelling the smell of meat and wine, keep leaning next to the restaurant, and then keep inhaling the fragrance in the air with their noses, fantasizing about filling their stomachs.
"Come there beggars, get out, don't disturb our business!"
Seeing this, the restaurant boy came viciously to drive away the beggars, and if he couldn't drive them away with his mouth, he would pick up the stick and drive them away by force.
Passers-by were not surprised, and some even saw the beggars and would laugh loudly.
Seeing this, Su Ming just glanced at it and didn't look at it much, sighed in his heart, and then continued to wander around the street with Chu Xingyun, who was full of excitement and curiosity.
It seems that this Dayu Dynasty ........
It's not like the Guotai Min'an that looks like it looks like on the surface.
