Chapter 3: Moyun City

Since it is the beginning of summer, the sun has begun to emerge, and the rising sun exudes its bright sunshine, shining on Xuyao Lake, the surface of Xuyao Lake reflects the brilliant brilliance, and it looks like a brilliant gem from afar.

The surrounding woods are dripping with jade, next to each other, and reflect each other with Xuyao Lake.

At the entrance of Xuyao Village next to Xuyao Lake, there are about a dozen pedestrians and two donkeys, all of whom are ready to go.

They all carried some bamboo baskets on their shoulders, which were filled with the inside and hung many things outside, which were the local specialties of Xuyao Village, fish, game and grain.

Of course, there were also some dry foods, which they had to exchange and buy with the outside towns.

In this group of pedestrians, there was only one little boy about five or six years old, and this little boy was Lin Yu.

He looked left and right in the crowd, as if he was looking for his companion, but no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't see it.

He couldn't help but ask his father beside him a little discouraged, "Dad, why does it seem that I am the only one in our group?"

Lin Yi looked at Lin Yu, who had a boring face under him, and knew that he seemed to be looking for a partner.

He squatted down his tall body, scratched Lin Yu's nose with his big hand, and smiled.

"Silly boy, our village says that six-year-old children are allowed to go out every time, but in fact, we adults are still a little worried.

Because there are some far roads in this way, and some roads are even more difficult to walk.

It was a bit difficult for us adults to go back and forth, not to mention that if we brought you children with us, it would not do much and would delay the journey of the team.

So every time I go out, it's just us adults. Occasionally, someone like Daddy who is not too troublesome will take you children to the outside world to see.

So it's normal that there are no friends going this time. ”

Lin Yi looked at the tiredness on Lin Yu's face, thinking that this little guy should have been thinking about following the market last night, and he didn't sleep much all night.

Lin Yi touched Lin Yu's little face and continued: "If you feel a little tired, you can not go this time if you don't have a partner to accompany you on the road." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yu was actually a little moved in his heart. After all, he was still young, and it was time to be active with his playmates.

And now Shaochu, who originally thought he would go together, didn't follow. The joy in his heart immediately dropped a few points, plus he fell asleep in the middle of the night last night, and now he was about to set off early in the morning, Lin Yu didn't want to go in his heart.

But when he thought about it, he happily told his father last night that he would go together, and now he said back, thinking that his father would be a little disappointed, and he would be a little untrustworthy.

Thinking of this, Lin Yugang wanted to say the words, but he choked back stiffly. He fixed his expression and said, "Dad, I'm not sleepy, I still want to follow you." ”

Seeing Lin Yu's determined look, he thought that Lin Yu's mind was so much in a blink of an eye.

He just said that it was a child's playfulness, and he usually listened to the adults around him talk about the prosperity and bustle of the towns outside, and he also wanted to see where to go.

"Good, good, good"

Lin Yi touched Lin Yu's head with his big hand and said with a smile: "But don't complain about being tired on the road for a while." ”

"Hmm"

Lin Yu said hello.

After a while, their team counted and put away the luggage and materials, and Dong Shun, a village elder who Lin Yu was familiar with, shouted to everyone, and under the two donkeys struggling to pull the full load of goods on the wooden cart, they began to set off from the entrance of the village to the outside town.

This section of the road leading to the outside town is indeed a bit difficult to walk.

Not to mention the bumpy sections along the way, some sections have to cross gasping rivers, or shrub obstacles, which can be quite difficult for everyone to walk.

Seeing that Lin Yu was so young and it was very difficult to walk this road, he took the initiative to tell Lin Yu's father, Lin Yi, and let Lin Yu sit on a loaded donkey wooden cart.

Fortunately, Lin Yu was still young, not tall, and thinner than his peers, but the donkey that Lin Yu was sitting on pulling the wooden cart did not seem too difficult.

By noon, Lin Yu and his party had finally arrived at the entrance of the outside town.

In a radius of two or three miles at the entrance of this town, there is no longer the lush woods next to each other, and when Lin Yu is less than 100 meters away from the entrance of this town, the towering gate of the town entrance can be seen from a distance.

There are three big characters written on the gate, "Moyun City". The stone carving is vigorous, and at a glance you know that it is from the hands of experts.

The city wall at the gate of the city, which was more than 20 meters high, was full of wounds left by swords, but these wounds were some years old.

Over the years, the lord of the castle seems to have sent men to repair the walls, and the large gaps and holes have been perfectly plugged, leaving only a few deep or shallow sword scars left on the top.

In Lin Yu's opinion, these thick and towering city walls surrounded by Moyun City were like a giant beast entrenched in this land, letting out a silent roar, deeply shocking the heart of this little doll who had not yet been out of the outside world and had seen what the world was, and Lin Yu was stunned for a while.

"Xiaoyu, this Moyun City is big enough and spectacular, right?"

Lin Yi on the side looked at Mo Yuncheng not far away, and then looked at Lin Yudao who was in a daze beside him.

"This Moyun City is hundreds of times bigger than our small village, I think that when your father and I just came out of this outside world, we were speechless in surprise when we saw this Moyun City. ”

Lin Yu didn't say anything for a long time, he didn't even listen to Lin Yi's words, and only the majestic city not far away in his eyes remained.

Not long after, Lin Yu and his party finally walked slowly to the city gate.

I saw that the gate of the city was guarded by six officers and soldiers and a squad leader. These officers and soldiers were dressed in heavy armor made of bronze, and from head to tail, leaving only a pair of sharp and merciless eyes to look at them.

At this time, the leader of Lin Yu's group, the old man Dong Shun, squeezed out a smile on his face, stepped forward, took out a worn-out Nash bag from his arms, and handed it to the captain of the guarding officers and soldiers.

After a few words with him, the captain of the officer and soldier weighed the weight in his hand, and then he was let go.

When Lin Yu passed by this guard officer, Lin Yu could also see the contemptuous eyes in the eyes of these guard officers and soldiers, as if they looked down on their group of people from the countryside.

For some reason, the young and ignorant Lin Yu felt very uncomfortable when he saw this kind of look.

He wanted to pull the placket of his father's clothes beside him, but found that his father Lin Yi's expression was unprecedentedly serious and cold, and his half-stretched little hand immediately retracted.

The little face is very puzzled why the father, who is so gentle on weekdays, is not as cheerful as he used to be at the moment.

After Lin Yu and his party entered the city, bursts of noisy noise came from all over the world, and the shouts of shops selling steamed buns, snacks, jewelry, and passers-by were like a heat wave.

Lin Yu's eyes immediately looked at the surrounding high-rise buildings and Yuyu with novelty, and there were all kinds of interesting things.

All of a sudden, the contemptuous eyes of the officers and soldiers when they passed by just now, and the seriousness on his father's face just now, were all left behind.

Only Lin Yi, who was tired of seeing them, was thinking about how to exchange and sell these materials as soon as possible later.

Walking more than two hundred meters away from the gate of the city, Lin Yu and his group stopped. I saw that there was an empty square around it, and it was said that it was empty, but in fact there were no other buildings around.

In this empty square, there are people coming and going, and the sound of stalls and selling is endless.

It seems that this is the place where Xuyao Village usually comes out of this town to exchange and buy and sell materials.

Xu is Xuyao Village has been trading here for some time, and not long after they parked here, many merchants and passers-by stopped to ask, and Lin Yi and they began to get busy.

"Xiaoyu, Dad may not be able to take care of you when he starts to be busy, don't move around here, lest you get lost. ”

Lin Yi said to Xiaoyu beside him in his spare time: "When your father is done with us, I will take you to buy some novel things and rock sugar gourds to eat." ”

After speaking, I didn't care if Lin Yu listened to it, and I was going to start working again.

Even if Lin Yi doesn't say it, Lin Yu, who is usually sensible and well-behaved, still knows. Lin Yu saw that Lin Yi was too busy to take care of himself, so he jumped out of the wooden cart and looked left and right.

He hadn't seen as many people or tall buildings as he had seen today.

He only felt that his trip was worth it, thinking that Shaochu would not follow him this time, and when he went back to tell him how prosperous and novel this place was, Shaochu must have regretted it in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile proudly.

After all, he was just a child, and he couldn't hold back his playfulness in his heart, thinking that he only walked around, not far, and it was okay to think about it.

Lin Yu thought like this in his heart, and walked away while his father Lin Yi was not paying attention.
