Unconsciously, the 24th year of Yongding has come to the end of the year.

It also seems that overnight, the temperature of the whole week has plummeted to the extreme.

The temperature in Dujiang, Yongzhou is even more so.

In previous years, there was a little snow in Dujiang, but today it is snowing heavily.

Chen Luo walked into the Dujiang River in the face of the wind and snow.

He didn't go fast.

Every step out of the country leaves shallow footprints on the snow.

When Tang Zheng turned around, he could see the lines of footprints, gradually pulling away in the wind and snow, and finally gradually disappearing, blurred.

Since entering Dujiang, Mr.'s pace has been slower and slower.

It seems that there is a reluctance to go fast.

It also seems to be hesitating something.

Look up occasionally.

Looking at this goose feather snow, I sighed slightly.

Yu Xiaorong asked Chen Luo: "What is Mr. looking at?" ”

Chen Luo replied: "Look at the snow." ”

"Snow?"

They don't understand what the snow is so beautiful.

The snow in this big week is falling every year, and the south is fine, with little snow.

But the further north you go, the more and more snow there is, day after day, year after year, this snow is not the same as it is, what is there to see?

Chen Luo is not easy to explain.

Because even he didn't know whether this snow was ordinary snow or snow from Yanmen Pass.

"Hometown timidity?"

Chen Luo thought......

Captain Jiang thinks about it, I'm afraid I don't know how to face my heart at this moment, right?

But what should come is what is coming......

From Yanmen to Yongzhou, I walked for several months, maybe not far, but not close, some things always have to be a success.

The economy of Da Zhou has developed in recent years, and it can be said that it has reached the highest level in thousands of years.

Especially after the change from Zhao Qian, this is even more so.

Coupled with Emperor Xuan's book and a series of measures such as the same book and the same track, the economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has never stopped, and it is not an exaggeration to take off.

Thereupon......

The tea stalls next to the official road are a lot less, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rigid demand that has risen in the Great Zhou over the years.

Whether it's a knight, a wandering monk, or a hawker.

Whenever I pass by, I always like to stop on the straight, or take a tea break, or chat about some gossip.

Although it was snowing and there were fewer pedestrians on the official road, the tea stall had never been closed, so not long after entering Jiangdu, Chen Luo and a few people found a stall.

I plan to take a break.

Of course, there are also inquiries about the purpose of this trip.

There aren't many people.

There were very few stalls.

In addition to Chen Luo, there is only one other stall.

Ordered a bite to eat.

Four servings of tea.

Ten cents in total......

This is extremely cheap.

Counting the money, he gave the copper coin to Xiao Er, and asked by the way: "Xiao Er, do you know where Jiangjia Village is?" ”

"Jiangjia Village? It's not far from here. ”

Xiao Er said: "If it was in the past, the straight road never got up, and the twists and turns had to walk for more than 20 miles, but after this straight road got up, the road to Jiangjia Village was more than half of it......" "It seems that this straight road has changed a lot for the people?" ”

"That's ...... Anyway, for others, for us ordinary people, it is better than any policy. ”

Xiao Er sighed with emotion: "In the past, when the construction began, some people said that this trip cost people and money, but after this straight road began to be used, who would still take the trail today?" Those trails have been abandoned for a long time! ”

These Chen Luo are quite insightful.

I've walked the trail these days...... I have also walked the old road that I walked a hundred years ago.

Pity......

The grass is taller than a man.

Along the way, the Han Wu Sword has become a sickle that specializes in removing weeds.

"The location of Jiangjia Village is easy to find, guest officer, after you walk along the straight road for ten miles, you can see a village near the straight road...... The village is not big, and there is a village monument set up by the government in front of the village, which you can see at a glance. ”

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, the guest officer eats and drinks well, if you need to add some tea, Mr. shouts."

"Good!"

After drinking tea, the four of them moved forward again.

Ten miles of road, plus the straight road, less than an hour to reach Jiangjia Village.

Entered the village.

Met an old man.

I asked about Jiang Guangfeng's home.

The old man told a direction, walked a little, and then saw the Jiang family......

Yu Xiaorong and the others didn't come closer, just waited from afar.

Chen Luo stood in front of the door, looking at the ordinary, but clean yard, and still knocked on it.

Knock Knock......

"Wait a minute, it's coming."

Voices came from inside.

Some are old.

Accompanied by footsteps, not in a hurry, not light, not heavy, and finally the door of the courtyard opened.

What appeared in front of him was an old man with gray hair.

Although old.

The clothes are meticulous, just at a glance, he is a person who can live.

"Who is this gentleman looking for?

Jiang Guangfeng looked at the person in front of him.

He had never seen this man...... So I'm a little curious.

"In Xia Chenluo, from Yanmen Pass."

With just one sentence, the old man's body trembled......

Then he tugged on Chen Luo's wrist.

"Yanmen Pass? But the border of the Great Wall? You're on the border of the Great Wall? Did you bring news of my son? Is he alright? Where is he? ”

His gaze looked behind Chen Luo.

There were three people not far away.

From there, he looked forward to seeing the people he wanted to see.

But no.

Until... The moment he saw the ceramic box that Tang Zheng was holding in both hands, his body began to tremble. 、

And no longer speak.

Just stared at Chen Luo tightly, as if he wanted to hear different news from his mouth.

Chen Luo also hopes to do what the old man thinks.

But in the end, he could only say softly: "Captain Jiang was at Yanmen Pass five years ago, resisting the incoming enemy, and in order to save his teammates, he took justice...... Chen sent Captain Jiang home today. ”

Anyway, come up.

Chen Luo took it.

Hands up.

The old man's hands trembled a little, but he still took a deep breath.

"Yanmen is closed so far, there are nearly 10,000 miles."

"Somebody needs to do something."

"Thank you."

The old man took the urn and said, "Mr. is thousands of miles away to send the child home...... The old man should have entertained Mr. well, but today...... Please don't blame the gentleman. ”

Chen Luo nodded.

Salute.

Exited the Jiang family......

The door was shut.

A voice came: "Old man, who's it?" ”

The old man did not respond.

Soon after, there was the sound of something falling to the ground and shattering, but it was still calm.

When Chen Luo turned around.

I saw the luck in the sky above the Jiang family......

I wanted to go back, but in the end I didn't go back.

On the same day, Chen Luo stayed in Jiangdu City, and Tang Zheng came back the next day. 、

He was arranged by Chen Luo in Jiangjia Village.

When I came back, I brought a message......

"The old man and the old lady of the Jiang family died and hanged themselves."

Chen Luo just hummed and didn't say anything.

It's just that on this day, Chen Luo drank some wine.

He asked himself ......,

Should I send Captain Jiang back?

There's nothing wrong with falling leaves.

But what if you come back?

In exchange, the two old men lost hope......

But that was his lifelong wish, they had waited for so many years, weren't they waiting for him to come back?

It's good to be raw.

Death is fine.

Isn't it all like that?

Chen Luo didn't understand......

Perhaps, I was wrong, right?

Perhaps, you're right?

Who knows?

Chen Luo doesn't think about it much, things in this world, right and wrong, who can say clearly?

It's just that if Chen Luo chooses again.

Maybe he'll still come to Jiangjia Village, right?

When Tang Zheng and the others woke up, Chen Luo had already left.

Alone.

No goodbye.

Nothing was left behind.

When Yu Xiaorong pushed Chen Luo's room away, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Sir has departed."

They also wanted to follow him, but it seemed that he was still used to being alone.

……

Yangtze.

The Great Zhou is the most river in the world.

It is as famous as the Yellow River.

In the past, it was rumored that there was a real dragon in the Yellow River, and some people in this world wondered whether there was also a real dragon in the Yangtze River.

It's just that I haven't seen a real dragon in years.

But this does not prevent the appearance of the Yangtze River Dragon King Temple,

Jiang Cheng.

It is a city on the bank of the Yangtze River,

Chen Luo and Jiang Cheng's fate is quite high...

In the past, Chen Luo went out of Kyoto for the first time and went down by light boat, and he sat in Jiangcheng......

It's just that Jiang Cheng was not Jiang Cheng at that time, it was just a small fishing village.

For hundreds of years, what was once a small fishing village has become a huge city.

into the city.

I found an inn.

Order the food.

There are people in the restaurant who say books.

It is about cultivating immortals, and it is about a young man who strayed into the fairy mountain, saw the old man and the two playing chess, and forgot to return on a whim.

When I went down the mountain the next day, a hundred years had passed in the world.

The former parents and daughters are all old.

In the past, there was no familiar shadow in the village......

The deceased is gone.

The newcomer does not know.

When Chen Luo heard this, he actually knew this story in his heart......

There may be magic in the world.

One day in the mountains, one year in the world.

But one day in this mountain, a hundred years in the world is impossible.

It's just that this story made Chen Luo feel a little emotional.

Just like yourself.

A hundred years have passed quietly in this world, but there are few people I am familiar with in this huge world.

Someone sat in front of Chen Luo.

A white robe.

There is a little red in the center of the eyebrows.

Full of gray hair.

There is a sword on his back......

He raised the corners of his mouth and looked around Chen Luo.

"Where's that White Dragon Daoist next to you? I heard that she is a white dragon? What about people? Why is it gone? ”

Chen Luo couldn't help but laugh when he saw someone coming.

"How long has it been since we met? Thirty years? Fifty years? How? When you first met, you missed Bailong Daoyou so much? ”

"Phew!"

Lu Xuan took a sip.

"Will this Daoist miss her? This Taoist chief wants to come to her and ask for the sword! ”

"Do you really want to ask about the sword?"

Chen Luo asked: "If that's the case, then our family will call her out, she is not far away...... Coming soon. ”

Lu Xuan: ......

"Actually, it's not that urgent, it's not that important to ask about the sword or something."

He chuckled.

asked Chen Luo: "When did you come back?" ”

"September ...... 24 years of Yongding"

"It's been more than half a year since I came back."

"Why are you here?"

"Invited by the Yangtze River True Dragon...... Enter the Yangtze River and participate in the banquet! ”

Chen Luo: ???

The Yangtze River, there is really a real dragon???
