Liu Chu traveled from south to north, so when entering Chang'an City, you can choose to enter from Xing'an City or Sheng'an City.

Xing'an City and Sheng'an City are the two most developed cities in the nine cities, more than ninety percent of the people are doing business, and you can also see a lot of businessmen who go south and north in the city, sometimes you don't have to make a fuss when you see people in fancy clothes, it is very likely that the merchants from Beiyan or Xiyuan have come from the other side.

Most of the nine countries are located in the center of the mainland, the southeast region is more developed, the northwest direction of life is still relatively primitive, the folk customs are very peculiar, many people who love to travel will go to the northwest region to appreciate the alien customs.

This northwest is not the northwest of Wei, but the northwesternmost region of the entire continent.

No, as soon as Liu Chu entered Xing'an City, he saw a man wearing a square scarf, riding a thing similar to a blind bear under the seat, his body color was black and white, with round cheeks, and there were two dark circles under his eyes.

This windy mount attracted a lot of onlookers, and if you look closely, they are all little fans with little stars in their eyes.

"Boss, here are two buns. After Liu Chu glanced at Nalafeng's mount a few times, he walked to the bun shop on the side and asked for two buns.

"Gotcha, your buns. Liu Chu took out four copper plates from the baggage, and used almost all the way around, and the rest of the money had to be used tightly, the price of this Chang'an was obviously a grade more expensive than that of the local government, and the buns in other places were all copper plates.

Burst......

Ahem......

Liu Chu took a bite of the bun before he chewed two bites and was about to swallow, and then squirted out, because he saw a man riding a pig!

"Guest officer, are you from somewhere else? This is the people of the Tutu tribe, in their place, pigs are a rare commodity, every adult man is proud to ride a pig, if there is no pig as a mount over there, but he can't marry a daughter-in-law!" The boss who sold the steamed buns saw Liu Chu's reaction, and immediately became happy, and he was idle and bored to explain to Liu Chu.

"It's really, a maverick family......" Zhang Jiayong looked at the bun scum on the ground, and felt that it was a waste, it seemed that he had to close his eyes next time he ate steamed buns, so as not to see something surprising to him and waste food in vain.

The point is that the buns here are a bit expensive.

Liu Chu went around half of Xing'an City, and finally found a place to settle down that he could support with the funds on hand.

A dilapidated post house, which was originally used by the government to entertain foreign envoys, but later abandoned, because it was really dilapidated, it was cheaply given to merchants, and after several changes, no one repaired it, and in the end no one wanted to take over, so it was in a semi-deserted state.

Broken and broken, the key is that this land doesn't need money.

There are a few sheep in the backyard, and those who stay here only need to help the owner feed the sheep.

There are only a few sporadic people in the broken post house, it seems that they are all strapped for money, Liu Chu and they have stayed for a long time and have not seen the master, and the rules for free accommodation are also written on the sign outside.

Seeing that the sun was about to go down in two hours, several people discussed and decided to go out to cut the grass and feed the sheep, after all, the rules must be followed, and the cheap cannot be taken advantage of.

They were all newcomers, and they didn't know where to find forage, so they separated and searched for it, and agreed to find some food and eat together in the evening.

Liu Chu directly chose to go out of the city, on the way into the city, he saw a large potato vine, that thing is also a sheep like to eat, and at the same time can dig some potatoes to eat.

However, it was a little embarrassing that it was planted artificially, and when Liu first arrived, someone was working, and it seemed that the potatoes were dug up and harvested.

Liu Chu hesitated, thinking that no one should want the potato vines, so he went to help dig the potatoes and asked for some potato vines, shouldn't it be too much?

This farmer is also a cheerful person, and when he heard that Liu Chu wanted to help him dig potatoes and asked for some useless potato vines, he immediately agreed.

The peasant family also has livestock, but they can't eat so many potato vines, and the potato vines can't be stored for long, and it's really useless to come.

At first, the farmers were worried that Liu Chu was young, inexperienced, and could not pick potatoes, but who knew that Liu Chu was faster than him and his skills were also very skillful.

"Veteran?" the farmer took advantage of the rest to peel an orange and handed it to Liu Chu.

Liu Chu stretched out his hands to take the orange and thanked him, "I have been doing this work since I was a child, and the vegetables at home are all grown by myself." ”

"There are not many young people who are willing to go to the field, like the kid in my family, Mao didn't even grow up and wanted to be a soldier, and now he has been there for more than 20 years. The farmer sighed.

"You haven't been home for more than 20 years?" asked Liu Chu.

"I came back from hiding in a small box, and was later picked up by a general. The farmer gestured to the size of a box, and his face was a little dark.

Liu Chu was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was sending oranges to his mouth froze.

The farmer's son joined the army at the age of 16, and when he was 23 years old, a flood occurred in a county town near his garrison.

On that occasion, he saved twenty-one children by himself, and after handing the last child to his comrades, he had no strength to climb up from the flood again, and was swallowed up by the flood, only to find his body in the mud three days later.

I haven't seen my son for several years, but I didn't expect that what I was waiting for in the end was a handful of ashes.

Liu Chu read the records and had some impressions of this incident, that year the floods in the south were rampant, and a total of 21,823 people died, of which 21,823 were Great Wei soldiers.

Yes, not a single civilian was killed or injured!

In the end, 21,823 people were posthumously crowned as flood heroes by His Majesty the Emperor, and a flood fighting cemetery was built to place the tombstones of these people.

This is also the most serious one-time casualty of the army in the ten years before the Great Wei changed to the country, even if it is a war against the enemy, there has never been such a big loss.

A sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Liu Chu turned his head to look, and there were twenty-one tall and majestic figures walking towards him in front of him.

"Father, here we are. The leader waved his hand at the old farmer, and his face was full of sunny smiles.

"Father. Several people shouted at the farmer at the same time.

The 21 rescued children have all joined the army as soldiers when they grow up, and at this time of the year, they will make an appointment to take special leave to come back to visit the farmers and help him clean up the farmland.

"Look, my kids are back, these are my kids. There were tears in the farmer's eyes and a smile on his lips.

Liu Chu fell silent, the soldiers of Great Wei were really Niu Thirteen.

Liu Chu carried a bundle of potato vines on his shoulders and a bag of potatoes in his hand, which was given to him by the farmer.

On the way back, Liu Chu's heart was also very complicated, and he also knew one thing, the 21,823 people who sacrificed had another identity, that is, Liu Jiajun.

That year, the 100,000 troops of the Liujia Xuanwu Army rushed to the disaster area, rushed to the destination three days before the flood, evacuated most of the people, and some teams went deep into remote areas to search and rescue, even if it was a small village with only a few families, it was not abandoned.

An army of 100,000 was covered with iron armor when it came, and when it left, 21,823 people were shrouded in horse leather.

When the army returned to Chang'an, Emperor Wei, who was still King Chen at the time, personally greeted him at the gate of the city, took off his dragon robe and changed into white clothes, and leaned over to greet 21,823 soldiers.

On this day, Chang'an City is full of vegetarians.

"Get out!" While Liu Chu was thinking about something, a carriage came galloping from behind, and while the carriage was shouting and scolding, a whip fell towards Liu Chu.

Liu Chu's eyes lit up, and he took a step sideways to dodge the whip, but the potato vines behind him were scattered to the ground, and the carriage also passed by him, less than a centimeter away from his body, almost sticking together.

It was this close enough distance that Zhang Jiayong saw the lover sitting inside through the gap in the carriage curtain.

At this glance, I almost missed my life, there is such a heroic woman in the world, and the red dress looks enchanting but not out of proportion.

"Xiao Qisan, count yourself lucky. As the carriage went away, the sound of the arrogant coachman scolding was heard.

Liu Chu looked at the potato vines scattered all over the ground, shook his head helplessly, leaned down and rearranged his back behind him and continued to walk back, but his mind fell on the woman in red.

After Liu Chu entered the city, he deliberately took a long detour to return to the free inn, wanting to try his luck to see if he could meet the woman again, but unfortunately he didn't even see the shadow of the carriage.

Liu Chu was the last to return to the inn, and the others also harvested a lot, piling up a lot of feed for the sheep.

"Yes, I got fish. Liu Chu saw that one of the strong men was carrying a fish in his hand, which had already been cleaned up, and it seemed that he was preparing to make fish soup.

"Luckily, I found a pond with fat grass next to it and plenty of fish in the pond. The strong man looked a little honest and honest, touched the back of his head and said with a smile.

In addition, there is an old man, who found a lot of wild fruits, and the periphery of the nine cities of Chang'an City is mostly sparsely populated areas, with many mountains and forests, and it is not difficult to find something to fill his stomach.

"You are a potato? Looks like you can make a potato roast chicken." A little fat man excitedly brought out a chicken.

"You chicken?" Liu Chu looked at the appearance of the chicken, it didn't look like a pheasant, could it be that this little fat man stole it?

"Don't get me wrong, this is my work for an old grandmother, she gave it to me, my own free-range chicken, raised for more than a year, not old or tender, the taste must be good. "When the little fat man said it, it was almost flowing out.

"Okay, I'll do it. Liu Chu stretched out his hand to take the chicken in the little fat man's hand.

"You, can you cook?" The little fat man immediately put the chicken behind him, looked at Liu Chu with a suspicious expression, and didn't dare to give the chicken to him. When he said it, he also looked at the old man on the side from time to time, he may think that it is still reliable for the old man to cook, after all, he has been cooking for decades.

"......" Liu Chu felt a blow and didn't know how to explain.

"Give it to him. But the old man on the side spoke.

The little fat man hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his head as if he had made up his mind, and at the same time sent the chicken to Liu Chu.

Liu Chu took the chicken, a little depressed, his cooking skills are well-known in the orphan village, how many people want to eat the dishes he cooks without this opportunity?

"By the way, did you see a carriage with a woman in red on it when you came back? Liu Chu was picking up chickens while chatting with the three of them.

"That's the daughter of the Ten Perfect Dart Bureau, and she is also a well-known woman in Xing'an City. The old man took over.

Liu Chu glanced at the old man and continued to ask, "How old is she?"

"He was born on the twenty-third day of the month before the Great Wei changed the country. The old man actually picked it up again.

Liu Chuchu was surprised, wasn't that the same year, the same month and the same day as him? Could it be that this is the fate that God is destined for?

"What's her name?"

"October. ”

October? I call myself Xiao Nian, the year and the month, and it is also quite a match, do you want to bring a day to have a child in the future?
