Chapter 11 Hongzhou City
Although Hongzhou is said to be the nearest city, it is still far away, and the road is also very difficult to walk, either mountains and ravines, or the grass is lush and muddy, sometimes there are some strange animals appear, but Su Wan'er coped with them decently! These creatures did not attack them, this should be the very peripheral place of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and the demon beasts are just a few areas, and there is almost no difference between the monsters and the animals on the earth.
Finally. After a day and a night of hurrying, Su Xiaohang and the others finally left the range of the Demon Beast Mountain Range! But there are no concrete roads in this world! Even if they leave the mountains, they are still muddy paths, which are even worse than the rural areas of the earth many years ago.
"I'm so tired!Brother Xiaohang!Let's take a rest!" I saw Su Wan'er sweating and panting!
Su Xiaohang gasped and said, "Okay!" Su Xiaohang was also a little tired, since the last rest, there should have been two hours, even if it was four hours. He is even more tired, after all, he has been taking a taxi since he was a child, living in a modern era with good traffic, and he is naturally not used to rushing to such a rugged mountain road, even if his physical fitness is not comparable to the past, but psychologically he can't stand it, but he hasn't said that he is tired, and he is not good to bring it up as a man, so he doesn't say that he is empty.
"Brother Xiaohang, how far do you have to go! Su Wan'er said questioningly.
Su Xiaohang rolled his eyes, you are a person in this world who doesn't know, how can I know, he took out the map and glanced at it twice, he didn't know how far it was, but he still didn't change his face and said without blushing: "It should be soon, hold on for a while and you'll arrive." ”
There was a stream nearby, Su Xiaohang took a few sips of the stream water, and then filled a pot and handed it to Su Wan'er, the spring water in this world is so sweet! And with aura, I don't have to worry about eating bad stomach at all!
After resting for more than half an hour, the physical fatigue and some hot body temperature have dissipated, and they have recovered their state and embarked on the process again!
Another two days passed, and they had finally seen a huge city on the distant horizon, different from the ancient cities on the earth, this city was very large, and it seemed almost endless, and their originally very tired spirits suddenly lifted, because they saw the destination, and seemed to have a goal in their hearts! also quickened the pace of travel, but after walking for a long time, the city has not yet arrived, but the outline of the city slowly emerges in front of him, it is really a real giant, the ancient city on the earth is simply a model for children to play, although Su Xiaohang has never seen the city on the earth, but he has such a thought in his heart.
The city that seemed to be very close was actually not that close, and Su Xiaohang secretly complained! Because they walked for a long time before they reached the foot of the city.
The city wall of Hongzhou City is not much different from the city wall on the earth, and there are signs of the city tower and the female wall on the city gate. It's just too big, the towering city walls are at least three hundred zhang, that is, not less than a kilometer high, and the city tower is already covered by clouds even from a distance, and I have a deep sense of powerlessness in front of this giant. The huge and magnificent golden city gate is like a god of war who carries out his obligations on earth!
Listening to Su Wan'er, the demon clan is powerful, and there will be a large-scale beast tide every hundred years or so, the beast tide is not single-handedly matched, and the strength of the human race is not strong enough, and the real strong people basically won't make a move, so they can only gather together to deal with it, even if the surrounding residents of the beast tide will come to the city for refuge like Su Wan'er and their family in the future! Seventy or eighty years have passed since the last beast tide, and the life expectancy of ordinary human beings is short, and many people don't know what kind of tragic situation it is! Moreover, the scale of the recent beast tide seventy or eighty years ago is not very large, and Hongzhou has repelled the beast tide with a casual counterattack after opening the city protection array, and many people have already relaxed!
"Brother Xiaohang, let's go in quickly!" Su Wan'er said excitedly. It was her first time in the city, and it wasn't anything like the little bazaars. She used to live in the mountains and wilderness, but she had never seen this scene! She took Lasu Xiaohang's hand, a little impatient.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Su Xiaohang was also very curious, not even younger than Su Wan'er, he was also here for the first time, and he was excited to think about it as a city from another world.
There were a lot of people at the gates of the city, and there was a long queue in an orderly manner, surrounded by some sergeants to maintain order! There was no fear of a stampede in the middle of a crowd, otherwise it would be miserable to make a pilgrimage to the Muslims. Su Xiaohang's eyes were sharp, and he saw some big notices, which read: "It is forbidden to fly over the city, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" "Missing person notice, on which day did someone go missing, and what kind of clothes were he wearing at that time." "Zhu Yan Dan, women have said that they are good, are they still worried about their faces? Are they still worried about the time that their husbands spend on other women for more and more time...... "Official, advertised, in short, dazzling and varied. Su Xiaohang is also very satisfied with knowing these words, this is also the result of his hard work in this world, otherwise he is still a big old man and an illiterate one, then he will die of embarrassment.
When passing through the city gate, there were no soldiers to interrogate, and those who wanted to identify these things might be allowed to enter by the human race! Soon Su Xiaohang took Su Wan'er to the city.
When he arrived in the city, Su Xiaohang was once again shocked by the appearance of the city, and he had not gone far before Su Xiaohang saw the antique street market, which was a large-scale market! All kinds of fireworks, the lights were shining even in the daytime! There were all kinds of stalls, shouting and shouting. Just like the pomp and circumstance depicted in ancient Chang'an City. After walking for a long time, it seems that the style is becoming more and more like modern, and the towering buildings are lined up one after another, in an orderly manner! There is a notice board that says when will the movie "Lonely Journey" be released, what kind of world is this? The earth uses electricity as energy to drive these, and it is impossible here! Su Xiaohang put away these doubts, and now is not the time to ask, he looked at the pedestrians on the road, those in ancient costumes, all kinds of fancy clothes, and some modern style shirts. The city is very different from the outside world!
When pedestrians passed by Su Xiaohang's side, he didn't know if it was Su Xiaohang's illusion, but he always felt a trace of disdain in their eyes! It seems that everywhere there are people who rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles! I have been in a hurry all the way, and my hair is a little messy, and I look like a little beggar. And the clothes are also very rough, although they are much better than any linen clothes, but they still can't change the appearance of the clothes, but this is the clothes that Wan Yatou made for herself, and it's not easy to take it off!
Go to the bazaar and try some treasures, it seems to be quite cheap. Su Xiaohang took Su Wan'er's hand and came to the edge of the city, because the city is very big, it is impossible to sell things from outside the city to the inside, it is too far. So not far from the city gate is the bazaar, here is basically the ancient decoration of passers-by, looking at Su Xiaohang's eyes without that kind of disdain, probably everyone is poor!
Su Xiaohang came to an old man's stall selling jewelry, and there were a dazzling array of decorations on the old man's shelves, basically some handmade jewelry, and some stone-like things, which should be placed at home as decorations. The old man saw Su Xiaohang come to his shelf, the old man was also wearing an ancient gray robe, and some of his old faces were also full of smiles!
"Little brother, buy jewelry for your little girlfriend! My goods here are handmade by craftsmen, and wearing my jewelry will ensure that your little girlfriend is a hundred times more beautiful! And the price is affordable, and there is no deception!" The old man said to the sale of his jewelry.
"It's so beautiful!" Maybe women like those glowing decorations, Su Wan'er couldn't help but say with some excitement.
"How can this hairpin be sold!" Su Xiaohang saw that Su Wan'er was also moved, so he picked up a glowing hairpin, which was so good-looking!
This hairpin is made of Xiangcheng ebony inlaid with Longtian jade, and it is a match made in heaven to wear on your little girlfriend's head, not a perfect match, as long as 5 taels of silver. The old man continued to compliment and said, obviously hoping that Su Xiaohang would buy it.
"It's too expensive, Brother Xiaohang, let's go!" Su Wan'er said a little distressed, although she wanted it very much, she still felt that it was too wasteful to spend so much money on something that was just beautiful and useless.
"It's okay! I'll earn it back later. Su Xiaohang scraped the bridge of Su Wan'er's nose and said comfortingly.
"That's it. Su Xiaohang handed over five taels of silver to the old man, picked up the hairpin, the hairpin was full of brilliance, Su Xiaohang felt that it was worth the price, he inserted the hairpin into Su Wan'er's hair with his own hands, looking at the colorful light mixed with Su Wan'er's pure and lovely face, Su Xiaohang was also a little demented, he stared at Su Wan'er tightly, it seemed that he was really moved, it turned out that Wan'er was so beautiful, this should be Su Xiaohang's only idea at this time.
Su Wan'er was also very happy to see that Su Xiaohang bought a hairpin for herself without hesitation, and saw Su Xiaohang's eyes staring at her like wolves staring at their prey, she also blushed a little, and was busy pulling Su Xiaohang's hand.
Su Xiaohang reacted at this time, and said with a sneer: "I'm sorry! Wan'er, you are so good-looking, I was confused for a while." ”
"Big pervert, look at your eyes, as if you want to eat someone!" Su Wan'er said angrily.
Su Xiaohang's face was a little embarrassed, he continued to look at the ornaments sold by these old men, and when his eyes swept over a stone that was earthy yellow and somewhat unattractive compared to the surrounding stones, the jade pendant on his waist suddenly shook, with a blazing feeling, and Su Xiaohang, who was hot, wanted to call out the ecstasy sound a little.
"Could it be that Bixiao woke up. Su Xiaohang thought with some suspicion that many days had passed since Bixiao fell asleep, and Bixiao said that he would wake up in a few days before he fell asleep, and it had been some time. However, Yu Pei reacted, this thing should be good, and it may have picked up a treasure.
"Old man, how can this yellow stone and the fastest black stone be sold!" Su Xiaohang suddenly asked the old man, his voice with a hint of the feeling of just asking casually! In this way, the merchant will not pay attention.
"Little brother, how can you take a fancy to these, these are all worthless in the room for decoration, this black stone is half a tael of silver, this yellow one, I think you have a fate with your brother, you buy this black stone, this yellow stone will be given to you. The old man didn't care.
"Okay, that's it, it's just these two stones, and I'm just going to put up a decoration in my house. Su Xiaohang handed over the payment to the old man, picked up two stones, and prepared to go to other places for a walk.
Suddenly, a somewhat arrogant voice sounded not far behind.
"Wait, brother, I have a relationship with these two stones, brother, can you see if you can cut love?"
