The sand boat that Bai Xiao and his party took set sail from Hongshan City, passing through 7 cities, and they would come to the westernmost part of the border county of the empire, at the foot of Tiandang Mountain.

Of course, this trip does not take that far, and the glorious valley where the Gao family is located is the fifth stop on the route.

And Bai Xiao and they disembarked at the fourth stop: Yushan.

Yushan City is a three-dimensional city built on the undulating hills, with more than 500,000 residents, half of whom live in the mountains.

However, the group of three did not have time to stop in Yushan for more, and after stepping off the sand boat, they took a light and luxurious mountain carriage, pulled by a demonized war horse, all the way to a fertile plain that leaned on the foot of Yushan Mountain and was embraced by two large rivers.

Huluyuan, the largest granary in Yushan, is also Zuo Qingsui's hometown.

On the carriage, Zuo Qingsui lowered his head, and he didn't know how many times he muttered: "Really...... There's no need to come with me. Vacations are so precious, don't waste them in the backwoods. ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Even if it is his hometown, it is too humble to say that it is a poor and remote land, Huluyuan is one of the best fertile soil in the border county, and more than half of Gao Laozhuang's native products come from Huluyuan." As a member of the Gao family, it is reasonable for me to inspect the granary of the border county, right?"

Zuo Qingsui's face was depressed, and he didn't know how to refute.

The lofty reason is high-sounding, but no matter how you think about it, he definitely didn't come to investigate!

It's clearly with Sister Sun Wen...... Deliberately to see your own jokes!

But I know that this is the case, and there is nothing I can do, even if I am ridiculed...... She still didn't dare to raise her head to look at Bai Xiao at all!

Because they were so close, the two were side by side, and the heat from Bai Xiao's sturdy body made Zuo Qingsui feel like he had been pulled by Teacher Yuan Shi to sweat before...... The only difference is probably that Senior Brother Bai Xiao will not suddenly hug him when he is halfway through his sweat......

But the girl's shame is really about to explode.

was originally just an ordinary provincial family leave, but suddenly it became a ...... to go home with my senior brother to see my parents Even if it's just a misunderstanding, it's like in a dream.

And Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Gao Yuan, who was sitting opposite the carriage, but the girl had to thank him.

If he hadn't been with him, he wouldn't have had the courage to come to Huluyuan with Senior Brother Bai Xiao anyway.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a muffled bang outside the carriage, and then the entire carriage shook slightly.

Gao Yuan's face immediately changed, and he opened the window and asked, "What's the matter!?"

The driver who was driving the car in front hurriedly explained: "I just hit a fox beast that came over, I'm sorry to let a few people be frightened, it's okay, let's move forward as usual." ”

Gao Yuan didn't think it was anything: "There should be lanterns on both sides of the official road in Huluyuan, how could a fox beast suddenly come out?"

The coachman sighed: "During this time, the beasts in the entire border county are not very peaceful, and they often run to the official road inexplicably, and in some places, the plants are crazy and the roots break the road roughly, and the carriages with poor performance in general will not be able to run. ”

After a pause, the coachman was also bored in the car, so he asked casually: "How many of you are from other places? Then you should have taken a sand boat, right? Have you encountered a sand beast, many of the travelers who have come to the border county recently have encountered a sand beast, it is said that yesterday there was a sand boat that directly encountered a super-large sand beast and was overturned on the spot, but fortunately, the Yushan army stationed around it was dispatched in time to not cause major losses......

When Gao Yuan heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zuo Qingsui and Bai Xiao.

That's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

The next moment, Zuo Qingsui showed an anxious look, and also leaned out of the car window and asked, "Nothing happened to Hulu Yuan, right?"

When the coachman heard Zuo Qingsui's accent, he couldn't help but say kindly: "The girl is a local, don't worry, it's nothing, Huluyuan is very peaceful......

However, after a pause, the coachman said, "But this gourd is very large, and there are cases everywhere, and I heard that there seems to be some problems with the crops in Sweetwater, and the harvest is very bad......

Before the words fell, Zuo Qingsui couldn't help but shake his body.

She's from Sweetwater!

Gao Yuan comforted: "Don't worry, if there's really a problem, the people over there should have told me a long time ago." And it's just the harvest of the crops, you take out a few copies of the class notes you made and sell them, and you can make enough money to grow crops at home for a few years. ”

Zuo Qingsui closed the window, shook his head and said, "That's not a matter of money...... Father and mother cherish the crops the most. ”

Gao Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, if his favorite art album was burned, even if he made up the money afterwards, the hard work poured on it would never come back.

Bai Xiao wrinkled his nose and said, "This county has a bit of a hunting ground. ”

"The smell of the hunting ground?" Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was startled, "It can't be the Snow Mountain Hunting Ground, right? That strange beast walked all over the ground and buried the Snow Mountain Hunting Ground with King Xiang's 100,000 troops alive?"

On the other side, Zuo Qingsui's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't even care about being shy, and reached out and firmly grabbed Bai Xiao's sleeve.

Bai Xiao said: "It's just a little bit, the number and activity of beasts here are much higher than those in other places in the south...... When I was riding the sand boat, I felt that this county had a bit of a snow-capped mountain smell. ”

"Is it just that there are a large number of beasts and a high degree of activity?" Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a common thing, for nearly 3,000 years, this place has never been as completely peaceful as the east, and beasts are the biggest problem." Nearly half of those demonic beasts in the Blur Domain are specialties of the border counties. Senior brother, you just said that there is a smell of hunting grounds, I thought it was the beast tide approaching again. ”

"Beast tide?" Bai Xiao recalled that he had seen it in a book introducing the history of imperial wars before, which was said to be a natural disaster unique to the border county, and then it was also known as the natural wonder of the Western Continent.

"Yes, every time, thousands of beasts will be slaughtered from all kinds of horns, and they will frantically invade the human settlements. Everything in heaven and earth seems to be crazy, even those rabbits that can only eat grass will rush up and bite people's carotid arteries when the beast tide is in the tide!" Gao Yuan patted his neck with palpitations, "Back then, the family let us experience a historical beast tide in a virtual way, damn it, I wasn't afraid of your jokes, I was really bitten to death by a rabbit! The blood in the arteries was like a fountain! Since then, I have really panicked when I see rabbits...... Alas, after each beast tide, the population of the border county will drop sharply, and it is easy to say above, but the most feared is ......"

Halfway through Gao Yuan's speech, he suddenly realized that he had talked too much, and quickly closed his mouth.

Zuo Qingsui's face was already as white as paper.

In the face of natural disasters, people are not equal, and those who live in the heavily guarded high-walled compounds, guarded by the Great Qin Legion and the Demon Dao Master, are always much safer than ordinary people. Even if they really encounter misfortune and eventually annihilate the whole army, the big man will always die last.

Gao Yuan is undoubtedly one of the big people, even if it is only a marginal branch, he is also a wealthy young master.

Zuo Qingsui is an out-and-out peasant girl, and the village where she lives doesn't even have a decent wall!

Gao Yuan said the wrong thing, and hurriedly made up for it: "Don't worry nonsense, the last time the Flying Cavalry swept away the beast tide has just passed 50 years, and the quiet period of the beast tide in history is at least more than 100 years, and it will be fine." ”

Zuo Qingsui nodded, but the worry in his heart never lingered.

It wasn't until the carriage moved briskly on the official road, crossed a big river, and officially entered the gourd plain that the expression on the girl's face soothed.

Not far away, it's her home!

At home, she has taken care of her for 16 years, indulged her for 16 years, and loved her father and mother for 16 years......

Seeing that Zuo Qingsui was no longer worried, Gao Yuan asked Bai Xiao with a smile: "Senior brother, didn't you forget to bring gifts when you saw Qingsui's parents this time?"

Zuo Qingsui's face turned red in an instant: "You ......"

Bai Xiao nodded as a matter of course, and then took out the duffel bag he had been carrying from under his seat.

This time it was Gao Yuan's turn to turn pale: ", senior brother, you won't ......"

Of course Bai Xiao will.

In the past few months in the academy, he can be regarded as having received a lot of care from Zuo Qingsui, without the girl's course notes, his theoretical study will never be so smooth, so this time to visit his family, the gift should naturally be more sincere.

The next moment, under the desperate gazes of Gao Yuan and Zuo Qingsui, he opened the package.

A full fifty dragon tears shimmered brighter than Lu Parting's wings of light.

Bai Xiao sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I can only prepare so much in a hurry, and I will let Bai Wuya prepare as soon as possible in the follow-up parts." ”

"You're enough!"
