The fifth day of the first month is also the beginning of spring.

Song You was packing his bags in the courtyard.

Bring all your clothes.

There are few clothes, and they don't take up much space.

Water bladders, dry food, pots and bowls, teacups, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, Jisheng, including uneaten meat hanging on the beam of the stove house, don't bring much, but you can't bring anything less.

The road is long, it is inevitable to sleep in the open air, the spring is cold, and you have to bring things to keep warm at night.

The wool felt given by Yu Zhizhou is of the highest quality, pressed very thinly, more cold and warm than the mattress, and there is not much place to fold it.

In this year, there were quilt bags similar to panniers, which were also bought at temple fairs, the kind commonly used by business travelers and accompanying troops, which were strong and could be loaded, and after being installed, they were placed on horseback.

Hang the hat on it.

The jujube red horse stood still obediently, letting him fiddle.

Today and yesterday are the beginning of spring, the beginning of the vitality of all things, the vitality is the most intense, this vitality is great for all things in the world. This year, the spiritual power of the first wisp of spring under the mountain is different, and Song You gave it to the jujube red horse, making it look radiant now.

Everything is cleaned up, and the yard is also cleaned up, whether it is the cobwebs above the head or the dust at the foot of the wall, it must be cleaned, and everything that should be collected must be picked up.

Finally, I said goodbye to the direction of the bamboo forest:

"In the past six months, I have been disturbed a lot, and I often listen to my wife singing, and I spend my leisure time, although I enjoy it in my heart, but I think about it, it is really rude. Leaving like this, I should say goodbye to my wife, apologize, and only hope that my wife will resolve her obsession as soon as possible, or wait until Lang Jun comes back as soon as possible. ”

It was daytime, and the direction of the bamboo forest naturally did not respond.

But the three-flowered cat looked up at him:

"Am I going to say anything?"

"No, you don't."

"Oh."

One called the horse out, and the other cat followed.

Outside the door, Luo Zhutou was dressed in soap clothes and stood at the entrance of the alley.

"See off Mr. below."

"The team leader has a heart."

Before leaving the city, Liu Zhixian led Yu Zhizhou to hurry over.

"If you know that Mr. is leaving today, Yu should have set up a banquet for Mr. yesterday to see him off, and ask Mr. for forgiveness."

"Where is Zhizhou?"

"In any case, it's Yu's fault! I came in a hurry today, but fortunately I didn't miss to see off Mr., only on the way to buy some snacks for Mr. to put it, halfway to fill his hunger, and brought a wool blanket and a lotus coat for Mr. to keep out the cold in the middle of the night, please be sure to accept it. ”

Song You still glanced at Yu Zhizhou a few times.

"Thank you Zhizhou."

"Where is this going, sir?"

"I don't know where to go for the time being, just go east."

"How long is this trip, sir?"

"Twenty years."

“……”

Yu Zhizhou was stunned for a moment.

Luo Zhutou and Liu Zhixian behind him were also stunned.

Twenty years......

How many twenty years does a person have in this life?

I have only heard of some people who have spent 20 years chasing fame and fortune, and some people who have spent 20 years being willing to fall, but I have never heard of someone using 20 years to travel the world.

There have been countless ups and downs in the past 20 years, who would have predicted? Twenty years later, no one knows if they will still stand here, or even if they are still alive, that is, the youngest Luo Zhutou, in fact, has already passed the age of standing, twenty years later, more than fifty, even before they are in the ground, they are gray-haired.

But when I heard Mr. say this, his tone was indifferent, as if he felt that he was ordinary, and he didn't take the twenty years seriously at all.

Yu Zhizhou had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

If you say goodbye at this time, it will be difficult to see in this life, right?

"Sir, walk slowly."

"Thank you, princess."

The two sides face each other and bow deeply.

Immediately, Song You led the horse away, and traveled farther and farther.

Several people watched from behind, and their hearts were wonderful.

Recalling what Mr. has done in Yidu in the past six months, whether it is cutting off fog ghosts on Jinyang Road, or burning demon monks in front of the Buddha's palace, or helping to capture the thieves who are tricks at the temple fair, thunder and splitting people across half of Yidu City, and indifferent to fame and fortune, free and easy, in the past, they have seen people who have the ability to do Taoism, like Master Guanghong, but such a master as Mr., how have they ever seen it?

The living immortals in the story are afraid that this is no more than that.

Such an immortal should be written down.

……

The clouds are shining, and the dew is not dawning.

A man, a cat, and a horse went out of the city gate.

The horse didn't have a reins, and Song You didn't need a reins, I saw him walking in front, and the horse followed silently, and there was a cat next to him, which also followed obediently, and others only felt magical.

Ahead is thousands of mountains and rivers, and the weather and rain are unpredictable.

However, the road is long and obstructive, and the line is coming, Song You only maintains a quiet heart and moves forward step by step.

The loess road outside the city, leading to the end of the sight.

The farmland cottages on the side of the road have beautiful scenery.

The grass withered and yellowed all the way, and as the sun came out, the dew evaporated, and the ground was so thick with dust that every foot on it would stir up a small canopy of dust. Song You loves this feeling, which makes every step he takes more visual, and therefore more clear and realistic.

Sanhua Niangniang still ran forward and backward, sniffing here and there, sometimes showing a puzzled expression.

"We seem to have walked through here."

"Sanhua Niangniang is very smart."

"Why are we going back?"

"Only this little paragraph is repetitive."

"Where are we going?"

"Go east."

"Which side is the east?"

"The side where the sun comes out in the morning."

"What are you going to do over there?"

The three-flowered cat kept up with him with small steps, and tilted her head to look at him: "Are you going to find where the sun comes from?" ”

"It's not."

"And what are you looking for?"

"Go to find the wonders of the mountains and rivers, to find the places where the folk customs are simple, to find the legendary gods, to find the creatures that only exist in those stories, and to see all the wonderful and wonderful places in this world."

“……”

The kitten tilted her head and looked at him for a long time, digested it for a long time, and then figured it out, and then said: "There are immortals in the temple, and Sanhua Niangniang used to be immortals." ”

"They ......"

Song You shook his head and smiled: "It's just a ghost who is an official." ”

"Then what do you say is an immortal?"

"It's hard to say."

"You don't know?"

"I haven't seen it."

"Then you can go and look for it."

"I'm going to look for it until I haven't seen it."

This world is not as developed as in the previous life, but there are also a lot of wonders, even if Song You has been staying in the Taoist temple for the first half of his life, he has already seen some of it, but he feels that it should be more than that, so he wants to see more wonderful and wonderful scenery, more mysterious and interesting things.

This time to set off again, undoubtedly more comfortable than before, one to have three flowers to accompany the mother, two to be fully prepared, three to have one more horse, at least no longer have to carry a bag, is empty-handed forward, so there is more effort to feel every step of the way.

In the afternoon, I went up to Jinyang Road again.

There are ancient trees on the ancient road, which shade the sun and rain.

It just so happens that today's weather is good, walking in such a tree-lined path, the sun is faint, spotted, walking slowly from it, stepping on the bluestone slab, the eyes are bright and dark, and the sun is shrouded in shadows and the sun hits the body, the horseshoe next to the ears is obtained, the heart is calm, not worried about the thousands of miles, not afraid of the sound of wind and rain, the feeling is also beautiful.

I didn't go far, and I saw a tea stall again, and there were a lot of people.

Although this road is also Jinyang Road, after Yidu, it is no longer the section that was walked before, and this tea stall is also a tea stall that has never been encountered.

I'm just a little tired.

Song You led the horse over and stopped in front of the tea stall.

"I want a bowl of tea."

Finally, I added:

"Good tea."

The owner of the tea stall was a hunchbacked old man, who looked very kind, and immediately came over to entertain: "Little sir, do you want some food besides tea?" Horse forage stalls are also available, and the prices are cheap. ”

"No need."

Song You went out with steamed cakes and steamed buns, and only needed a bowl of hot tea to eat.

And the horse seemed to be carrying a lot of things, but in fact it was not heavy, and the journey was far from heavy duty, but it was slow and leisurely, and as it walked, it looked for some wild grass to eat by the roadside, and now it was not hungry at all.

"Ouch!"

When the old man wanted to tie the horse for Song You, he found that the little gentleman's horse was not leashed.

"Little Sir, your horse ......"

"Horses are smart and don't need reins."

"Not afraid of losing it?"

"Don't be afraid."

The old stall owner was amazed, but also went to make tea.

A cooking pot with a full bowl to pour.

The people and businessmen around him also frequently cast their eyes on Song You, this was just a slightly surprising thing, with Song You's robe, it seemed that it immediately had a little more subtlety, even the unruly Jianghu people also restrained their contemptuous gaze.

But when he saw Song You breaking open the steamed buns, taking the meat filling to feed the cat, and eating the bread outside, he couldn't help but be a little more surprised, and talked in a whisper.

One person and one cat don't care about them.

The horse only stood silently in front of the stall, without a leash and did not run around, and when he saw that there was a favorite shallow grass sprout next to him, he only took a step or two, lowered his head and slowly gnawed, and did not go far.

During this period, people kept checking out and leaving.

But whenever anyone came from the left and went to the right, the old stall owner would bow down and ask them where they were going, and he would ask someone to help them carry the letter.

However, I asked a lot of people, but I didn't get much.

In these years, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it is difficult to deliver letters, leaving Guanma Avenue, there are both demons and mountain bandits on the road, and it is even more difficult to deliver letters.

In addition to the people from the government on this Jinyang Road, there are mostly merchants and people from the rivers and lakes. The businessman is either trustworthy or profitable, and the trustworthy is afraid that he will not be able to bring it, so he does not dare to agree easily, and the heavy profit is afraid that the money is less, and only one businessman agrees after asking for a long time, but it may not be delivered safely.

“……”

Song You raised the bowl and drank the last sip of tea.

He even picked up the bowl and paused for a while, waiting for the tea soup hanging on the wall of the bowl to stay.

He figured out that the tea on this Guanma Avenue is more expensive and more delicious, with salt and sugar, and plums. A big bowl full of two steamed buns, he actually felt that his stomach was full.

"Checkout."

"Ten cents."

Catch up with a bowl of ravioli.

It's normal, drinking a cup of milk tea in a previous life is more expensive than eating a bowl of wontons.

The old man bent his waist, watched Song You count the copper plates, and smiled while watching: "Dare to ask Mr. Xiao, where is this going?" ”

"To the east."

"But do you want to pass through Xuzhou County?"

“……”

Song You counted the ten copper plates, but he didn't answer for a while, but asked the stall owner with a smile:

"My husband wants to bring a letter?"

In fact, he had only heard of Xuzhou, in the east of Yizhou, and it was necessary to pass through Xuzhou to the east, but he had never heard of Xuzhou at all.

"Exactly! If Mr. Xiao wants to go to the county, if you stop by the way, Mr. Xiao will want to ask Mr. Xiao to bring me a letter! After the old stall owner finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "Although the little gentleman can rest assured, he will never let the little gentleman take it in vain!" ”

"What letter?"

"Little gentleman really wants to go to the county?"

"Idlers in the mountains and wild people, traveling the world, are not knowing where to go. I only know that to the east, I have to pass through Xuzhou. If the old man is in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to go to the county. ”

"Little Lao'er doesn't lie to Mr. Xiao, the family was poor in the early years, my son went to Xuzhou County with his second uncle to do business, and then stayed in Xuzhou, far away, away from the road and there are bandits, the last time I came back has been two years since now, a few days ago my wife thought about her son, thinking about the disease, sleepless all night, the day before yesterday was sick in bed, the little old man begged the passing officials to write a few letters, I want to ask someone to bring over, so as to teach him to come back and see ......"

"I see."

Mountains and rivers can insulate sounds, but they should not be separated from the affection of mother and son.

Song You didn't think much about it, and smiled indifferently: "Then I will take advantage of the matter of bringing a letter to my father-in-law to see the mountains and rivers of the county." ”

"Thank you, little sir!"

The old man was immediately grateful and bowed deeply.

Song You didn't dare to bear it, so he had to hurriedly hold him up: "I can't stand such a big gift, I will travel all over the world in the next book, and my husband will show me the way, and I should thank my father-in-law." ”
