Time flies quickly, and it's May in a blink of an eye, Ling'er thought about it for a long time and finally decided to go to the Yuanqing faction to apprentice, and the old man said that it would take more than three months to go to the Yuanshan faction. Time is running out, Ling'er is going to the Yuanqing faction to apprentice in the next few days. She went to Grandma's grave as usual, put the wildflowers she had picked in front of Grandma's grave, and told Grandma that she was going to the Yuanqing Sect to apprentice, and that she wanted to become as powerful as an immortal, so that she could protect the people she wanted to protect. knelt down and bowed, and said goodbye to Grandma. Ling'er inquired in the village and knew that Uncle Li was going to Qingshui City to deliver food the day after tomorrow, so Ling'er told Li Da that she wanted to go with her, but at first Uncle Li disagreed, after all, Ling'er was an eleven-year-old girl, how could she rest assured that she was alone outside. Later, Ling'er couldn't do it anymore, so she lied that Grandma had told her that his parents were in Qingshui City before, and Grandma told her to go to her parents. Uncle Li couldn't bear Ling'er running home all day long, and he was annoyed by being pestered, and Uncle Li reluctantly agreed to her under Ling'er's repeated assurances. Ling'er was very happy, so she hurried home to pack her baggage, and after Ling'er finished cleaning up, she climbed to the bed with her grandmother's spirit card and told her about going to Qingshui City tomorrow, and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Ling'er carried the burden in front of Uncle Li's door early, and Uncle Li was busy putting vegetables on the ox cart. Ling'er ran forward to greet Uncle Li, smiled at Li Ya'er, who was helping next to her, and ran over to help work together. Li Ya'er is Uncle Li's daughter, and every time Uncle Li goes to Qingshui City to deliver food, Li Ya'er will follow her to help, and this time is no exception. When the work was over, Uncle Li drove the ox cart to Qingshui City.

Ling'er and Li Ya'er sat on the wooden board at the end of the ox cart, their thin calves hanging down outside the ox cart. The first time she went out of the village, Ling'er felt very novel, as if the mountains were greener, and the flowers were also good-looking, looking good everywhere, the same trees, the flowers were stunned to make her see a different feeling. Along the way, I looked east and west, and the corners of my mouth turned up from time to time along the way. Seeing something she didn't recognize, she excitedly told Li Ya'er, Li Ya'er was infected by Ling'er's emotions, and took Ling'er's hand and said to her, "Ling'er, Ling'er, there are a lot of interesting things in Qingyun City! The rock sugar gourd sold by the old uncle on the street is delicious" As he spoke, he licked his mouth and wanted to taste the gluttony, "In addition to the rock sugar gourd, there are also buns and soy milk from the street corner king, as well as fragrant wontons..."

Along the way, the two little girls chattered, and the time seemed to be running out. "Ling'er, it's here!" Li Ya'er pointed ahead, looked in the direction, and what caught her eye was the city wall made of blue-gray stones, and there was a wooden sign hanging high on the city gate, with three words written on it, Ling'er thought that those three words were Qingshui City, Ling'er didn't know how to read, but felt that the word and the wall were like an old man, giving people a solemn and quiet feeling. The city gate is guarded by soldiers, and there are a pair of people in front of them who are about to enter the city, some are carrying baskets, some are carrying baskets, and some are holding a few croaking chickens in their hands, Ling'er stretched his neck and looked forward at the people in front of them one by one, and finally it was their turn, and the soldiers nodded after checking and let them pass.

Entering the city is like entering a new world, there are many stalls on the streets, all kinds of things, the hawkers are hawking with their necks up, people are coming and going on the street, from time to time there are children chasing each other and playing to the side, the ears are all shouting and playing, so lively, Ling'er is looking around, a pair of eyes are rolling and hating to have more than a lifetime of eyes. At this time, the ox cart stopped, and Uncle Li turned around and asked, "Girl, where are your parents?" Ling'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need, no need, it's so much trouble for you, I'll just inquire myself." Uncle Li listened to it and insisted that he would accompany him to help find it, Ling'er told him for a long time, seeing that he still insisted, there was no way, Ling'er jumped out of the car and thanked him, waved his hand at Li Ya'er and ran away, the figure was overwhelmed by the crowd, Uncle Li couldn't find Ling'er, so he sighed and couldn't do it, and drove away.

Ling'er ran across one street, turned to another street, looked back, and saw that there was no ox cart in sight, so she smiled and raised her feet and went to the bun shop. I bought a steaming big white steamed bun and walked while nibbling on it, and asked people where to hire a car. Yes, Ling'er plans to hire a car to go to Guiyuan City, and her parents have left her a lot of money, which is enough for her to use for a lifetime. Ling'er didn't hire a car immediately, just looked at it and found an inn to live in, it took several days to hire a coachman named Da Niu, he is also an orphan, he earns some money by driving a car, he is very big, Chinese face, very dark skin, laughing honestly, the whole person looks honest and honest, Ling'er heard that others are good, observed him for a few days, he is very enthusiastic and often helps the neighbors. Although Ling'er is young, because she has helped her grandmother to do things early since she was a child, Uncle Li also told her before that she should be careful in everything outside, and she can't trust others easily. She knew it wasn't safe to be alone outside, so she was busy. In fact, it is not easy to hire a car, before looking for him, Ling'er asked several people who were unwilling to go to Guiyuan City, after all, it would take more than half a year to rush this trip back and forth, and it was not good to leave the family for too long. Da Niu didn't worry about it and was willing to go to Guiyuan City to have a look, so he agreed. Ling'er made an appointment with him to meet at the city gate tomorrow. Ling'er went to buy some dry food and things needed for the journey, and finally bought a dagger before returning to her residence. It was getting dark, and Ling'er sat on the bed after washing and cleaning up. took out Grandma's spirit card from the burden and stroked it and hugged it in her arms, as if you could feel Grandma's warm embrace. Thinking that tomorrow I will go to Guiyuan City alone, and I have to face the unpredictable things in the future alone, it is impossible to say that I am not a little afraid and confused, but now there is no one to rely on, only on my own. Ling'er tightened her hands, hugged Grandma's spirit card and fell asleep.

The early morning sunlight seeped in through the window, and the sound of people walking and talking came to her ears, Ling'er touched her eyes and got up to get dressed and washed, and after cleaning up, she carried her burden to the counter, and after settling the account with the shopkeeper, she went out of the inn to the city gate. I bought a bun on the side of the road, and rushed to the city gate while gnawing on it, and when I arrived at the city gate, I saw the big cow waiting there, Ling'er hurriedly ran over, the bun on her head was bumped up with her running, the big eyes bent and grinned at the big cow, the pear vortex on the cheek was slightly uninnocent and cute, Ling'er waved his hand at the big cow, and walked forward and said, "Brother Da Niu, you are really early! Let you wait for a long time, right?" The big cow touched his head and smiled innocently, "I just arrived, Ling'er sister, you are here" As he spoke, he helped Ling'er put the burden on the car, Ling'er also got into the car, and the big cow told Ling'er to sit down and drove the car out of the city. Ling'er looked at Qingyun City, which was getting smaller and smaller, and waved goodbye to this lively and vivid city.
