A few days after they traveled west, Lu Xu saw a hillside full of wildflowers, and the morning sun shone on the south slope, steaming up the melting snow and raising a thin mist, like a dream.

Lu Xu felt that he was going to see the drunken scene, but it was a pity that Junqi and Lu Zhou had to stay in the county government and couldn't come out with him.

Lu Xu thought, no wonder the barbarians are generally more simple and romantic.

Growing up bathed in such a landscape, how can it not be romantic.

Lu Xu muttered to himself: "The letter is still written early, and it is time to ask the painter to come." ”

The little follower Yaka didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's nothing, do you know how to paint?" ”

Yakka: ???

He obediently said, "I can sing." ”

Lu Xu: "Sing!" ”

Yaka was full of childish voices, singing all kinds of shepherd songs, horse racing songs, and songs of praise to the earth, to the river, and to her mother.

Lu Xu led the caravan all the way to the western border again, and sent someone over the mountain to inform the two mixed-race tribes that he had come to send warmth!

The people of both tribes did not believe it at first, but when they followed the messenger over the mountain, and when they saw the market where the stalls were set up, they were so excited that they were incoherent, and they turned around and ran back.

More people led cattle and horses, carried baskets and bags, and some people took children and climbed the mountains to catch the market.

Herdsmen from nearby tribes also came to join in the fun.

Some of them heard about it two days ago, and a caravan came to sell goods, and they didn't want to put their stalls here.

There's no fun setting up a stall in the wilderness.

Make something to eat, it's all fragrant.

As a result, they stayed here for too long, and there were too many traces, and on the third night they attracted wolves, and there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in the night.

The Tiger Ben Army finally had a place to use, and one by one they were extremely brave, repelled the wolves, cleaned up the mess, and sent Lu Xu a lot of wolf teeth.

They were not very interested in wolf teeth, but seeing that Lu Xu was wearing them around his neck, they simply sent Lu Xu away.

Lu Xu took it to the river to clean it and wrapped it up.

went back to Avi to show off, saying that he had hunted it, and asked Avi to help him make a necklace, and each of his younger brothers and sisters would have one in the future.

Their naughty Lu Xiaorui is worth a mouthful of wolf teeth.

Dead animal carcasses do not have to be buried.

Early spring is the season of food scarcity, and many animals wake up from hibernation, hungry and have to give birth to their young.

Thrown corpses can be their food.

After that, there were no more accidents.

Occasionally, when passing by a certain territory, herders who were grazing cattle nearby would come to them and ask if you had this, if you had that, and if you could sell it to them.

Anyway, Lu Xu was not in a hurry, as long as someone stopped them, they would stop.

Or find what the herders need, or simply find a place nearby to set up a stall for half a day.

There are no streets, no houses, you can stop wherever you want, and you can camp wherever you want.

When you leave, just step back on the dirt that you have made up your camp.

After a few days, the grass will grow, and there will be no more traces.

Lu Xu tried to find the Salt Mountain again, and walked around the territory of the Akshuo Tribe, which once owned the Salt Mountain, but still found nothing.

On the way back, Lu Xu set up camp again on the banks of the Mum River, where they used to hold a market.

After the ice and snow melted, the width of the river is more than ten meters, and the depth is more than two meters.

This time they couldn't cross the river like last time, and even their skills in catching fish plummeted, and they set up stalls by the river for three days without catching a single fish.

Nearby herders led them along the way to a narrower section of the river, where they slowly crossed the river by stepping on stones.

After two more days on the east coast, when the things were almost sold, they began to pack up their stalls and go home.

This time, they mainly exchanged gold and silver and animal skins, bones, stones, medicinal materials and so on accumulated by the herdsmen.

The merchants of Kannai, who had changed to deer skins and antler velvets, were overjoyed.

When I go back and find a good buyer to sell these, I will work hard in my hometown for a year.

Hard work is hard work, fear is fear, but this trip is really worth it!

They were happy to Tao Tao and went home slowly, not knowing that Lu Qing had already crossed the Crouching Tiger Pass with the caravan.

Lu Qing has been fighting in the northwest for many years, but this is the second time in his life that he has passed the Crouching Tiger Pass.

The first time, they were transferred from Shuozhou to the northwest, and that time, they took the road of Guannei, they were young and full of apprehension, and they didn't even take a good look at this Xiongguan.

Then, it was more than ten years of death in the Northwest.

When he returned home, he was in charge of escorting the barbarians to the north, but failed to enter the customs through Crouching Tiger Pass.

This time, he was finally able to take a good look at this Xiongguan, which was used as a backer and hope back then.

He walked all the way, looking at the familiar military uniforms of the tiger soldiers who escorted them, the military households and civilians along the way, the herdsmen he occasionally encountered, and the cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the grassland.

When spring comes, the grass replaces the snow, and the former golden iron horse and the beacon fire battlefield are covered under the grass roots and in the soil.

The green field, even when the wind blows, is a blue sea.

Lu Qing squinted his eyes, looked at the green grass waves that were low with the wind, and laughed slowly.

A few days later, Lu Xu dragged Mei Mengxi, who had been captured from Dengyun Mountain, and persuaded him to go back and see where their academy needed to be improved.

Mei Mengxi's face was full of displeasure, "I was inspired, and you were interrupted!" ”

Lu Xu: "My Mei Dacai, you can't make those words at all!" The ghost is drawn like that, and I can't even understand it as a little genius like a stick figure! ”

Mei Mengxi said angrily: "What the hell is drawing a talisman?!" I am a painstaking work that combines the essence of the ancient barbarian language! ”

Lu Xu: "Huh——?! ”

He looked at the horses, carriages and flags coming from the south of the county in the distance, and was stunned.

Mei Mengxi: "What's wrong?" Hey?! Where did such a big caravan come from, what kind of flag was that? ”

Lu Xu: "That's ...... That's the flag of our Guanyang Alliance!! ”

On the city wall, Lu Zhou lay on the top of the wall and looked into the distance.

Yan Junqi also hurried over.

A moment earlier, the officials guarding the city had spotted a large strange caravan coming from the south.

"It's the flag of the Guanyang Alliance!"

"It's our flag!"

Lu Zhou laughed, took three steps and made one step, ran down the city wall like a fly, led the horse out of the city, galloped towards their flag, and ran.

Lu Xu's thousand-mile horse finally exerted its might, and the first horse caught up with Lu Zhou from the north, and the brothers with excellent eyesight saw clearly the person who was riding in front.

"Second Uncle!!"

Half a year later.

Guanyang County.

Eight-year-old Lu Rui climbed the wall of the academy that had been repaired twice.

In the midst of the gentleman's angry roar, he jumped off the wall like a kitten and ran towards the docks.

In the morning, a letter came from the village, saying that his second barbarian aunt was going to roast a sheep and told them to go back to the village to eat the roast sheep.

If they are not free, they will be sent tomorrow.

A-Niang and her sister are busy with business, so in the morning, let the guys who delivered the goods to the village pass that they would not go back, while the third brother was also at home, everyone would eat more, and if there was any surplus, send some to the second sister-in-law's mother's house.

A-Niang said that they often eat barbecue, and there are many people in the family, so don't go to join in the fun.

So how can it be the same?

He hasn't eaten the barbarian's roast yet!

He had only run a few steps from the academy, and Sister and Auntie, who were in the store, ran out.

Lu Rui looked at the clothes ruler in A-Niang's hand, and neatly went up the tree.

Alas.

Why is their shop so close to the academy?

Why is the gentleman's voice so high?

Sure enough, Sister Hanlu and Sister Xiaoxia, who were at the dessert shop opposite the door, also came out to see the excitement.

The neighbors also came out to see the excitement.

Yuan Manniang carried a measuring ruler more than one meter long and pointed at Lu Rui on the tree, "You come down for me!" ”

Lu Rui: "I can't go down, you want to beat me." ”

With that, he climbed a little higher.

This is the tallest willow tree on the whole street, and his mother can't climb it even if she is so angry.

Seeing that he was about to climb the soft branches of the willow tree, Layue was so frightened that his legs were about to weaken: "Rui Rui, come down quickly!" A-Niang won't beat you! ”

Lu Rui: "I don't. ”

Seeing that he had set a new record for climbing trees, Yuan Manniang was also a little weak, and threw the ruler at his feet to discuss with him: "You come down!" And my mother said why did you skip school? ”

Didn't you do your homework yesterday?

Could it be that there are still lessons that she and Layue don't know?

Lu Rui grabbed the branches of the willow tree, stepped on the branches, swinged, and swayed, "Auntie, sister, go get busy, I'm going back to the village to eat meat." ”

When Yuan Manniang heard this, she was so angry that she jumped violently: "When is there no meat at home?" ”

Lu Rui: "That's different......"
