The genius was bright, Chen Jing went to knock on the door next door, which made Cui Ying very painful, related to getting up early to be bedded and parting, but also because he wanted to leave the crowded place, and the next time he passed by a similar place, I don't know how long later.

Wipe her face casually, pick up the bamboo basket and set off, it's not that she wants to show off, there are too many things, so she can only use the bamboo basket.

On the road, as Chen Jing expected, Cui Ying, who was like a porter, attracted the attention of passers-by, and some people even pointed and pointed, thinking that the big woman was a slave, and there was no lack of rare and strange voices in her words.

There are those who are pity, and there are naturally those who are not used to it, and some men look at Chen Jing with extremely unkind eyes, and they have the urge to make trouble.

Look at it, let's talk about it, as long as they don't block the way, Chen Jing doesn't follow what they think, anyway, the one behind is looking for himself, besides, if someone really persuades Cui Ying to drop some things, so that he can travel lightly, and he is destined to feed the dog.

Let Cui Ying throw away the food, then get ready to fight.

Fortunately, there are many onlookers in this place of hooking, and there are not many enthusiasts, and no one intends to preside over "justice".

After the two walked for a while, they saw Qi Baifu and Lu Wenpeng waiting on the side of the road.

Chen Jing heard something from Cui Ying last night, and he didn't dare to agree with these two couples who looked like each other. Even if he has a little chivalrous heart to rob the rich and help the poor, it is destined to be hated by ordinary people, but he can't agree with it rashly.

Chen Jing, who was the first to walk in, replied without asking: "I saw the two benevolent fathers from a distance, guessing that they were leaving Linyue Bay, and if the two of us idlers didn't say goodbye, we couldn't help but feel a little sorry." ”

Cui Ying strode forward, not knowing what the shame was, and began to work after killing the unchangeable temperament, grabbed a white and tender hand of Qi Baifu, and stroked it fiercely, "Madame treats me so sincerely, but now I want to leave ruthlessly, I guess Madame's heart must be very sour." But don't worry, Madame, there are clouds in the poem, 'The days are long and the times are endless, this love is endless', you and I will have a time to say goodbye! ”

Lu Wenpeng finally accepted the profound skills of this heroine, and only changed one word, and the poem became very different, which is really a "fierce" word.

Chen Jing smiled bitterly, Cui Ying only likes to read biographies, as for poetry collections, most of them she can't understand, she will write them down when she encounters a smooth mouth, and she will become hers with one or two changes, and when it comes to the right time, she blurts out, and her arms are like the present.

Hearing Qi Baifu's words, Chen Jing opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with idlers?" Are you two going to change to other trades, or do you want to be the wandering knights you used to be? ”

Qi Baifu hurriedly withdrew her hand, with a wry smile on her face, Cui Ying still ignored it, continued to do her own thing, and kept throwing her eyes amorously.

Lu Wenpeng's body was finally a little plumper, and he was no longer a mad man's skin and bones, and he sighed at this time: "We also heard some letters, and guessed that the local government should not give shelter anymore."

We will not be ignorant of good and bad, and we will take it away when we see it, but in the future, we will no longer mix with officialdom and rivers and lakes at will, and it is impossible to wash away the past, so we have to live the second half of our lives in peace. ”

Chen nodded, the couple planned to do so, half of them were forced to be helpless, half of them were taking advantage of the trend, whether it was good or bad could only depend on what happened in the future.

casually asked the two of them if they knew anything about the Qiu brothers.

Lu Wenpeng said directly: "Someone from the government office looked for the two of us yesterday, and I really don't know much about the three brothers, they are not famous, and they haven't stayed long enough in Linyue Bay, and they have heard the names of the three brothers from time to time, and they have only seen them from afar, and they have never dealt with them." ”

Qi Baifu, who finally withdrew his hand, also said: "Yesterday was also the first time I saw two of their brothers. ”

It seems that it is inevitable to walk through Yushou Mountain, so he said goodbye and did not let the couple see each other off on foot.

Cui Ying knew that she was leaving, so she gave Qi Baifu a look, this is going to go, how can I say it, my arm is like a kiss or something, no matter how bad it is, I will give a big hug.

Chen Jing was clear about her clichéd thoughts, and forced her to go away step by step.

Seeing that there was no drama in the relationship, Cui Ying howled, began to walk upright, took it back, and when he took it back, he stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth and chewed it.

Chen Jing said as he walked: "Yushou Mountain is about seven or eight hundred miles away from here, if you don't procrastinate, you can walk to the boundary in about ten days, maybe a little deviate from the original route, but fortunately, at most two or three hundred miles, it's not a big deal."

Since Red Earth Town is a town, it shouldn't be much, and it should be found after two or three days of delay. ”

Cui Ying took out a huge water bag, took a big sip, and took out a piece of dry cake to eat, Xiaojing didn't have the heart to listen to what he said just now, think about it, what's wrong, "We went out of Zhao'an City, and it was only a thousand miles to this Linyue Bay, it took a month, how could we go to Yushou Mountain so fast?" ”

Chen Jing blamed her a little and said: "The road ahead is all mountainous land, and some places can be called wilderness, there is no way to find it at all, so you can only move forward through the thorns, which makes the journey slow."

The southern water country is different, most of them are plains, and the road is flat, so you don't have to worry about having no way out, and the road will naturally be several times faster. ”

finally pointed to Cui Ying, "The premise is that you don't hold back." ”

Cui Ying heard these two words, squirted out some broken cakes in her mouth, hurriedly covered her mouth, and planned to refute two sentences, her mouth babbled clearly, and she took another sip of water, but she was choked, and this time there was almost nothing in her mouth.

Cui Ying squatted down and howled twice, it's a pity, just taste it in her mouth.

gradually drifted away, and finally moved away from Linyue Bay and out of the boundary of Chuqiu Country.

In order to avoid the cruising scouts, Chen Jing specially chose to cross the border at night, even if the moonlight was not bright enough, it was enough for the two of them, and they should go all the way to the south.

On the way, Cui Ying almost made a moth again, saw a wild boar, and wanted to kill it and leave it for fresh food during the day.

Chen Jing was not polite, slapped her on the head twice, and made her stop for a while, the wild boar was so loud, it would howl desperately if it was not killed immediately, the border land did not allow hunters to hunt, and the slightest movement would be pursued by scouts all the way.

"Do you want to carry a wild boar for tens or hundreds of miles?"

Cui Ying rubbed her head and said unhappily: "I'm sure I'll kill that wild boar with one punch." ”

Chen Jing completely dispelled her thoughts, "I won't barbecue meat in the future, you should die of this heart." ”

Cui Ying looked at the bamboo basket helplessly, it was only a few days, and the things in it were almost bottomed out by her, and she didn't get tired of eating it, but she didn't know when she started, and she inexplicably missed Dong Chuanhai's craftsmanship, and the longer she came out, the more she missed it.

Looking at the poor family, the woman muttered, "It seems that it can't hold up the Yushou Mountain Boundary." ”

Yushou Mountain is located on the east side of Nanshui Country and the west side of Kangping Country, and the two countries are divided by mountains.

There is no specific boundary monument or anything like that, logically speaking, according to the law, it shouldn't be like this, but there is such a strange thing.

In terms of national strength, the South Water Country is the strongest in the south of South Yuzhou, there is no one, there are seven or eight small affiliated countries, of course, including the kind of pocket pill land that is a city that is a country, which is related to the early years of the South Water Country to conquer everywhere, seeing that the behemoth in the south is about to move, the small country might as well take the initiative to surrender to sincerity, and offer worship and seek stability every year.

Later, it was said that it was the cause of the great natural disaster in this continent, and the dynastic powers of the entire Southern Yuzhou, including the Nanshui Kingdom, no longer easily opened border provocations, so there was no move to conquer abroad.

Many people speculate that Kangping State, which is much weaker than the national strength, survived by luck as a neighbor of Nanshui Country.

In the future, more and more people will know about the boundary of Yushou Mountain, and they are wondering whether Nanshui Country should value harmony in doing this?

Linked to the previous events of the South Water Country, it can't help but make people suspicious, is it seeking truth and peace, or is it planning and preparation?

After walking for seven or eight days, you can already see a mountain range in the distance, and in this plain area, it can only be Yushou Mountain, but it has only reached the end, and you can't see the real face.

Cui Ying's inventory was completely wiped out by her, and it was not right, there was still the last piece of jerky left, and she was reluctant to eat it, so she took it out from time to time, licked it carefully, and used it to satisfy her hunger as if it smelled.

also deliberately licked it in front of Chen Jing, with a complaining look, like being punished for not having food when he was a child.

Chen Jing was upset, it was not difficult to guess that she was thinking about roasting game for her, but she had already tried it on the road ahead, and the more she got used to it, the more she was not enough.

Standing on top of a boulder, looking into the distance, shaking the water bag, there is not much water in it, you have to quickly find a water source as well, the downstream river of Linyue Bay has not been able to go along with them, and there is no sign of human population on the road.

Or go directly to the mountains and forests to see if there is a stream.

"Let's go, we'll spend the night in the mountains and forests tonight, you can dig out the bird's nest, and you can boil a few bird's eggs at night to taste."

Cui Ying came to her senses when she heard this, stuffed the meat slices into her arms, and began to trot towards the mountains and forests without urging.

Chen Jing looked at it with a wry smile and shook his head, he was really a guy like a donkey, he ran away if he had something to eat.

After walking more than ten miles, Chen Jing asked Cui Ying to spread joy by himself, he tried to see if there was a water source, the two divided the labor, Chen Jing helped her fill the water, and Cui Ying found something to eat and shared it with him.

Without waiting for Cui Ying to go far, he reminded: "There is still dry food, don't think about catching live animals." ”

The latter wailed, "I see." ”

It took half an hour of hard work, and after Chen Jing searched back and forth, he still returned in vain.

Cui Ying didn't complain anything after seeing it, his harvest was good, there were more than 20 bird eggs. Since boiled eggs can't be eaten, it's not bad to stew eggs on the ground.

After making do with it, the moonlight was approaching, and the two set off again, not because Chen Jing deliberately tossed Cui Ying, but because he wanted to find the water source earlier, just like those in Cui Ying's water bag, she could drink it in one sip without much moderation, and when she finished drinking, she would only look at Chen Jing with a blank eye.

Walking at night also has an advantage, most of the birds and animals are in the daytime, and the mountains will be much quieter, and if there is the sound of water, it will also spread farther.

The news found by the officials of Linyue Bay that Hongtu Town should be close to the periphery of Yushou Mountain, Chen Jing acted cautiously, in order to find water, he did not dare to go to the depths, and he could see the periphery of the mountain boundary at a glance.

The moonlight is like water, the earth is like frost, and a man and a woman are hurrying in the secluded mountains and forests.

"Xiaojing, what do you think this is?" Cui Ying, who was behind, said excitedly.

Looking back, Cui Ying was holding a small figure in her hand, with a leaf dress and a flower skirt, a grass crown on her head, and she was pocket-sized and cute.

Looking closer, the villain's arms and legs are green, and the palms and soles of the hands are only divided into two fingers, giving birth to a human face and distinct facial features.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jing hesitated and said, "This should be a spirit like a flower charm and a grass spirit." ”

Cui Ying teased the villain with her hand, and said happily when she heard him say this: "Let's take it and raise it, what a beautiful little guy." ”

"Can you raise it?" Chen Jing laughed at Cui Ying.

Seeing her nerd, I had to explain to her, "In the mountains and forests where the aura is quite good, almost all of them will give birth to spirits, the number is different, it can be said that it is really born to raise, if it is caught, unless you are willing to use fairy money to support, otherwise it will die in a short time, so ah, it is better to put away your playfulness." ”

Cui Ying said pitifully: "I still need money, I thought it would be enough to give them grass." ”

Chen Jing stretched out his finger, flicked his finger, and the villain flew out.

"What are you doing?" Cui Ying blamed him.

"You see it clearly." The man gestured around and motioned to her.

The grass, tree trunks, and all kinds of spirits were looking at them, and even some of them looked like flying insects, but also had human faces, making inexplicable noises that could not be spoken.

"I'm a good girl, so much." Cui Yingle shouted, and was lying on the ground teasing these little elves.

Chen Jing didn't want to break Cui Niu's innocence, so he still sighed and said, "I deliberately bounced that spirit away just now." ”

Cui Yingtou didn't reply: "Why? Do you have a grudge against them? It doesn't make sense, I have the impression that I have seen what you have seen. ”

"A lot of people just come to catch these spirits and sell them for money, if you're lucky to be able to sell a rich customer, you're willing to spend money to raise them, and if you're unlucky, no one cares about them when they die."

Cui Ying stood up and said, "How can this be? ”

"What do you think? These spirits are not enlightened, they don't know good and evil, they have only a little instinct, and they can get close to you today, and they can get close to those who capture them in the future. ”

Cui Ying muttered, and finally wanted to touch them to say goodbye, but stopped halfway, and said helplessly: "Let's go, little ones." ”

The night road travelers are like the moon, and the moon is silent.

The two of them did not stop until the second half of the night, it seemed that they were destined to find no water source, and then they planned during the day, if there was fog in the morning, and some broad leaves could also collect some dew, which was a little troublesome, but it could solve the needs of the moment.

Cui Ying didn't mean to be tired, but she was too bored, climbed a big tree, took out a tiger skin and covered it, and saw a spirit sneaking up on her, Cui Ying quietly stretched out her hand, "Little guy, come here." ”

The spirit really climbed up along her palm, and Cui Ying complained while being happy: "You really listen to anyone's words." ”

With the first one, there is the second, and then there are more and more, more than a dozen little guys are jumping on her, and Cui Ying is not annoyed, let them.

After playing for a while, he finally felt sleepy, yawned, pulled the tiger skin to his face, and fell asleep.

The sky was slightly bright, Chen Jing woke up first, stood on the treetops and looked at it for a while, looked in one direction and went to find water.

There is fog and dew, but unfortunately he couldn't find the broad-leaved forest, it was too cumbersome and cumbersome to collect, according to his estimate, there was no one or two hours of collection, and it was not enough for Cui Ying to be bored.

Seeing that the sun was getting more and more full, he finally had to give up and shouted Cui Ying to hurry, according to estimates, Hongtu Town should be close, but it really can't work, continue to walk at night tonight, how can it be tomorrow.

This time it was finally no longer inhabited, occasionally I could meet some people from afar, look at each other a few times, or meet each other in the water, or greet them warmly, and some just skimmed them and continued to hurry.

Since it was in the deep mountains and wilderness, Chen Jing had no idea of asking for help, and he couldn't guess whether he was really kind and kind, and he was really thirsty, chewing some grass roots to quench his thirst.

Cui Ying chewed the grass roots just for fun, but when it came to her mouth, her teeth rose and fell a few times, and she spit it out, "It's too bitter, how can you eat this thing." ”

Chen Jing provoked her with words, "Either endure it, or speed up the trip, run all the way, and get to Hongtu Town early." ”

Cui Yingniu's temper, who was scratching her mouth, also came up, and she really ran away without urging, in fact, Chen Jing knew that she secretly ate the last piece of jerky last night, and she didn't even have anything to satisfy her cravings at this time.

The jerky is gone, the water is gone, the grassroots don't want to chew, forcing Cui Ying to run forward, as long as he arrives in Hongtu Town, everything he eats is better than dry food, and he can drink water to his heart's content.

The two didn't eat lunch and ran all the way, maybe Cui Ying, a foodie, moved God, and finally saw a town full of black tile roofs in the afternoon when the sun was still big.

Cui Ying laughed for a while, "His grandmother's has finally arrived." ”

It was already close at hand, and the two of them had no intention of sprinting anymore, and walked slowly to the town.

There is a main road in the town that extends out, is facing Yushou Mountain, there is a simple archway outside the town, there is the word "red soil town" on it, it may be too long to repair, the stone archway is damaged in many places, let people look at it, they will involuntarily think that this town is too poor, and it is estimated that there are not many people.

Chen Jing came out to see not much, more from the book to know, the town is in three directions, there is a lot of farmland, especially in the west, stretching very deep, wealth may not be said, self-sufficiency is still possible.

Cui Ying just wanted to find something to eat, and after entering a short distance along the main street, she saw a restaurant sign hanging up, and pulled Chen Jing to go inside.

An old man in the store was behind the counter, snuggling up on a recliner smoking a dry cigarette, and he didn't plan to get up to greet someone when he saw someone coming, but only asked these two obvious strangers with his eyes.

Cui Ying has money in his pocket, and he is rich and arrogant: "Shopkeeper, if you have anything delicious, I am not bad for money here." ”

The old man sneered and pointed at the wall with his cigarette stick.

Chen Jing glanced at it and smiled bitterly, there are only rice noodles and the like here, and there is nothing else, Cui Ying has no chance to pretend to be an uncle this time.

The words have already been spoken, Cui Ying's dead duck has a hard mouth, "Then let's have four bowls of rice noodles, marinate more, we are not short of money." "Take a piece of broken silver and slap it on the counter.

Then he lowered his voice, "Oh, by the way, where is the hut?" ”

The shopkeeper got up and came to the counter, swept his sleeves, the broken silver disappeared, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go out and go around the back." ”

Cui Ying threw the bamboo basket on the bench and hurriedly went to release the water, and in order to save water on the way here, she held her urine all the way, and she almost didn't suffocate.

Chen Jinghe begged for a bowl of water to drink, sat on a stool, faced the outside of the store, and finally could wait for food leisurely.

I vaguely heard the shopkeeper's shrill voice coming from behind.

"Die for Lao Tzu, a bunch of lazy ......"

"If you don't want to cook, go to the kiln to pinch porcelain ......"

"Be a big man, do you have that fate......"

Before the water was drunk, the rice noodles were ready, and I didn't see the figure of the little guy, so it should have been done by the cook.

"Come on, officer, your rice noodles."

The chef held two bowls in both hands, and set aside one bowl in both arms, and took it at one time.

Feeling that this voice was a little familiar, Chen Jing looked up at the cook, who also looked over.

The two looked almost identical, one incredulous, the other very surprised.

Chen Jing's eyebrows furrowed, expressing the doubts in his heart.

"Qiu Chen?"
