After breakfast, Shi Hanshuang packed his bags and left the guest room, and after coming down from upstairs, he found Chu Mofeng sitting in the lobby waiting for her, Shi Hanshuang hurriedly sped up a few steps, came to Chu Mofeng's side, put his bags on the table and said, "Can you do it one day if you don't eat something in the morning?"

Looking at Shi Hanshuang's concerned eyes, Chu Mofeng straightened up and stretched, picked up the bag on the table, smiled at Shi Hanshuang and said, "Don't worry, when I used to practice, I often didn't have food in the morning, but after a long time, I was not used to eating breakfast." ”

When Shi Hanshuang saw him say this, he said with a grudge on his face: "That's not good, I'll buy you some food on the road in a while, and then we'll go on a boat." With that, he pulled Chu Mofeng and walked outside the inn.

Outside the gate of the inn, Tafeng and the other horse seemed to be waiting impatiently, and kept snorting, seeing that his master was coming, he roared excitedly, Chu Mofeng came to Tafeng, stroked its soft hair, attached it to its ears and said: "Treading the wind, treading the wind, are you in a hurry, let's set off now, okay?"

As if he could understand Chu Mofeng's words, Tafeng immediately roared excitedly, and Shi Hanshuang, who had already mounted the horse, couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and thought to himself: This guy is so kind to the horse, he is really a child who doesn't grow up.

Chu Mofeng jumped lightly onto the horse, turned his head and said to Shi Hanshuang: "Let's go, the road is slippery and ride slowly, you don't need to buy food, I have already gone to buy some in the morning, and after getting on the boat, I will be there all the way." ”

Shi Hanshuang nodded, stepped on the stirrup with his legs and gently clamped the horse's back, and the horse under his crotch walked forward, Chu Mofeng hurriedly followed when he saw this, and the two walked unhurriedly towards the ferry outside the gate of Dongcheng in Longyou County.

Due to a heavy snowfall last night, although the snow has stopped at this time, the road is still covered with a thick layer of snow, and the horses' hooves make a creaking sound when stepping on the snow.

Shi Hanshuang rode on the horse, looking at the surrounding scenery, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, after all, a girl who has been studying art in the mountains all the year round, has no time to play every day, and suddenly relaxes, and it is inevitable that she will be a little excited.

Chu Mofeng rode his horse forward, while secretly observing Shi Hanshuang, and suddenly found that the fiancée designated by his father for himself was as simple and cute as a child, and he couldn't help but compare Mo Ziyao and Shi Hanshuang in his heart.

Compared with the two, I found that each had its own advantages, and I couldn't help but laugh secretly. Shi Hanshuang saw Chu Mofeng laughing, looked at him curiously and said, "What are you laughing at, is there something ridiculous on my face?"

Hearing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly suppressed his smile and said to Shi Hanshuang seriously: "I'm thinking, if I am recognized in Xijing, will I think that I have come back from the dead?"

Shi Hanshuang heard Chu Mofeng say the word 'death', he was angry, pulled the reins and stopped the horse, and when Chu Mofeng was level with him, a burst of chestnuts knocked over, and said angrily: "Don't mention the word dead, how unlucky, didn't your master usually tell you? ”

Chu Mofeng saw Shi Hanshuang's puffed up appearance, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said to Shi Hanshuang: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, don't be angry, okay, I'll buy you delicious food when you get to Xijing." ”

Shi Hanshuang saw him apologize, so he stopped pestering, and suddenly heard Chu Mofeng mention food, his eyes flashed, and he feigned anger: "Okay, don't take it as an example, after you arrive in Xijing, don't forget to fulfill your promise." ”

When Chu Mofeng saw Shi Hanshuang's serious appearance in order to eat, he couldn't help laughing, and then he grabbed the belly of the horse with his legs and ran forward on horseback, leaving only his voice in the air: "If you catch up, I'll buy you something delicious." ”

Looking at Chu Mofeng in the distance, Shi Hanshuang knew that he had been fooled, and hurriedly held the reins and rode his horse forward to chase after him. The two of you chased me and quickly arrived at the ferry, at this moment there were only a few boats waiting at the ferry, Chu Mofeng came to a boat that looked clean one step earlier, and said to the boatman standing on the boat: "Boat boss, we are going to Xijing, two people and two horses, hire your boat all the way, give a price." ”

Because it had just snowed heavily, the number of merchants on the boat was pitifully small at this time, and the boat boss was standing on the boat looking in the direction of the city gate, hoping to get some business and make some money quickly. ”

Chu Mofeng heard the boat boss say this, so he got off the horse and stood on the shore and waited, at this time Shi Hanshuang caught up with Chu Mofeng, saw Chu Mofeng standing on the shore, and asked breathlessly: "Why don't you get on the boat, is something wrong?"

Chu Mofeng saw that Shi Hanshuang had also arrived, and was about to urge the boat boss again, only to hear the boat boss shouting to the shore: "Guest officer, do you give the small two hanging money for the double ride?"

Hearing the boat boss say two hangs of money, Chu Mofeng didn't say a word and beckoned the boat boss to row the boat over, and then helped Shi Hanshuang to the boat first, and then led the two horses to the boat, and then jumped on the boat lightly, took out three hangs of money from his pocket and handed it to the boat boss and said: "Boat family, is it bothering you to buy me some food along the way, and I will give you another hanger of money when I get to Xijing." ”

Hearing that this trip could earn four hanging money, the boat boss said happily: "Thank you for the reward, then I bother you two to go into the cabin to rest for a while, and we will set off." Then the captain of the boat propped up the boat, slowly sailed away from the shore, and began to move forward with the current.

Shi Hanshuang sat in the cabin, treading the wind and his own mount tied to the bow of the boat, looking at the situation in the cabin, Shi Hanshuang couldn't help but praise Chu Mofeng in his heart for his vision, although the whole cabin is not big, but it is more than enough to sit four people, and there is no peculiar smell in the cabin, there is a small table in the middle, and there is a candlestick on it, and a brand new candle is inserted in the candlestick. Looking at everything around him, Shi Hanshuang couldn't help but set his eyes on Chu Mofeng, who was talking to the boss of the boat at the stern.

At this time, Chu Mofeng was standing at the stern of the boat, chatting with the boat boss with a ride or not, "Boatman, how many days will we take this trip?"

The boat boss thought for a while holding the boat forward: "We are now in Dadushui, we can go a short distance to the Yangtze River, we will walk along the Yangtze River for one day to reach Ba County, and then turn to the north, along the Jialing River tributary Hanshui all the way north to Hechi County It takes five days, and then turn to Weishui in the north of Hechi County, and about another day to Xijing, if we stop along the way, it is estimated that it will take a total of eight days." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard the boat boss say this, he took out two more hangs of money from his pocket and handed them to the boat boss, "Boatman, one of these cranes is what was said before, and the other one is added to the previous three cranes, so please buy food for you." ”

When the boat boss saw Chu Mofeng take out two more hangs of money, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Guest officer, the little one is not the one who is greedy for money and profit, and if you say that four hangs are four hangs, you can give one more hanger to make the small one very unhappy." ”

Chu Mofeng patted the shoulder of the boat boss, and put the two pieces of money into the boat boss's coat, "Take it, I can't count on the court this year, the two of us have seen too many scenes of grief and sorrow along the way, and besides, you are indispensable to take care of it along the way, so let's take it." ”

Seeing Chu Mofeng say this, the boat boss said movingly: "Guest officer, you are the first good person I have seen over the years, thank you for the reward, the weather is cold and the wind is strong, you go to the cabin to rest first, close the cabin door to warm up, and wait for the evening, the small one will add a brazier for you to keep warm." ”

Chu Mofeng turned around and walked into the cabin, and after taking the door with him, he sat down at the small table and took out the food in his bag and put it in front of Shi Hanshuang, "Eat something, the weather is cold, this way will take about eight days, we will spend these eight days on the ship, and when we get to Xijing, I will take you around." ”

Shi Hanshuang casually flicked the brazier on the side and said, "It's okay, you can eat some too, you only care about buying me food in the morning, you yourself are delayed." ”

Hearing this, Chu Mofeng grabbed Shi Hanshuang's hands and said, "Shuang'er, to be honest, I don't know how I survived all these years, but fortunately, I was brought to Zhangye by the masters according to my father's instructions, and if I was like those who were exiled and ran away halfway, I don't know how to survive." ”

When Shi Hanshuang heard Chu Mofeng's words, he couldn't help but feel a little empathetic, let him hold his hand, looked at Chu Mofeng's thin face and said, "Yes, fortunately, we are still alive, compared to those who were killed by the Dog Emperor, we are lucky." ”

Maybe it's because the two have become an established husband and wife, or maybe it's because the two have the same experience, the two of them chatted and couldn't help but sit together, Shi Hanshuang leaned on Chu Mofeng's arms, put his pretty face on his chest, and there was a steady and powerful heartbeat in his ears, and he stuck it into Chu Mofeng's arms, and said slowly: "Mofeng, I'll still call you like this in the future, it would be nice if my father and father-in-law were still there." ”

Listening to Shi Hanshuang's words, Chu Mofeng also fell into deep thought, and soon the two of them snuggled up and fell asleep.

When he woke up and found that the ship was still moving forward, Chu Mofeng slowly put Shi Hanshuang down, covered her with a robe, and then gently opened the door and came to the stern, at this time the sun was shining outside the cabin, and the boat boss was still working hard to support the boat forward, and when he saw Chu Mofeng come out, he smiled at him and said, "Did the guest officer sleep well last night?"

Chu Mofeng nodded, and asked casually, "Boatman, where are we now?"

"Back to the guest officer, we have now entered the Han River, and now we are going north, and we arrived in Ba County last night, and seeing that you two did not wake up, the little one went ashore to buy some food, and after a while, you two used the brazier in the bow of the boat to heat it and eat it with hot water. When you get to the vicinity of the ferry port in Fuling County, the small one will give you two fresh fish with hanging tails to eat. ”

Chu Mofeng nodded and turned around and came to the bow of the boat, took some food and heated it, hurriedly brought it back to the cabin, woke up Shi Hanshuang in his sleep, and the two of them ate a simple meal with hot water, and then came to the bow of the boat to look at the scenery.

At this time, the surface of the Han River was sparkling under the sunlight, and the fisherman and the woman in the raccoon clothes could be vaguely seen on the shore along the way, looking at the scene on the shore, Shi Hanshuang leaned slightly on Chu Mofeng's arms, and said softly: "Husband, after we rehabilitate our fathers, can we also put down our weapons and live this rural life?"

Holding Shi Hanshuang in his arms, smelling the girl's body fragrance, Chu Mofeng nodded and said: "If we can choose, we will definitely live this kind of pastoral life, the family lives quietly, and watching the child grow up little by little, I think it will be a beautiful picture." ”

Time passed day by day in the boat boss working hard to support the boat, at this time the ship had turned to Weishui, early in the morning Chu Mofeng asked the boat boss, saying that there was still half a day to go to Xijing, and then Chu Mofeng told Shi Hanshuang the news.

Hearing that he was about to arrive in Xijing, Shi Hanshuang's heart couldn't help but become a little excited. Half a day passed quickly, and the boat docked steadily at the dock outside the south gate of Xijing, and after leading the horses ashore, Shi Hanshuang and Chu Mofeng said goodbye to the boat boss and led the horses to walk forward slowly, and there was a lively scene on the dock at this time.

Merchant ships loading and unloading here, among which you can vaguely see the carriages of the Wencheng firm, the coolies at the wharf, the merchants of the philistine, and the frequent flow of ships, which constitute the picture scroll in front of you.

Looking at the crowd of people coming and going, Shi Hanshuang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is worthy of the former capital, although the capital has been moved away now, the prosperity of Xijing has not diminished at all." ”

Chu Mofeng looked at everything in front of him, but there was no such thing in his memory, maybe he left Xijing too early when he was a child, these impressions were very vague, he turned his head to look at Shi Hanshuang and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city." ”

Shi Hanshuang nodded, led the horse and followed Chu Mofeng towards the south gate of Xijing......
