The first year of Zhaozong: July 8, morning.

Li Ze said goodbye to his relieved father and his mother, who was worried about him, and left the Li Mansion with Song Wentong.

Originally, after he recovered, he asked his father what was going on, but he didn't say anything about his injury, about his recovery, and about who touched my hand.

Dad didn't say anything and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only suppress these doubts in his heart, and knock on the side to see if his mother knew when he comforted his mother.

It turns out that a man is a man after all, and it is impossible to tell all the secrets to his woman.

Mom has been in a coma since he was injured, and he woke up, Mom woke up, if it weren't for the fact that he was still standing in front of him... Mom is going crazy.

But even so, the injury he suffered made his mother feel distressed for a while.

After suffering such a serious injury, although he is almost recovered now, according to the character of his mother who loves her son, he is absolutely not allowed to travel.

It's just that Song Wentong's repeated reassurances, as well as his pleading, finally made his mother agree.

After the previous injury, he felt that his bottleneck had loosened again, and all he lacked was an opportunity to break through the big star position and reach the small heaven position.

At the gate of the Li Mansion, Li Ze carried the Zhuxian Sword wrapped in brocade behind his back, and said goodbye to his parents with tears.

"Daddy... Mother, don't worry, I won't go far from my trip with Brother Wentong this time, and I will return after a month, don't worry. ”

His dad didn't show anything, and his face was as serious as ever.

And his mother was telling him this and that.

Be careful when walking on the rivers and lakes, and don't fight with others......

Li Zeyi nodded in agreement......

Outside Bianzhou City, Li Ze and Song Wentong stood side by side, looking at the three forks in front of them and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Wentong, which way should we go?"

He was also a little embarrassed when he said this, he stayed in Bianzhou City since he was a child, and he really didn't know the outside world.

Ran away from home before... Ahem, don't say it.

Song Wentong glanced at him when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to point to the road in front of them on the left.

"Here, let's go to Henan Mansion first. ”

Although it is now the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has not perished after all, and the territory is still according to the province, state, and county, and Bianzhou and Henan Province belong to Henan Province.

The distance between Bianzhou (now Kaifeng) and Henan (now Luoyang) was about 200 kilometers, and it was only two hours away in later generations.

Now, it will take two or three days.

"Oh... Then Brother Wentong, let's go quickly, the nearest city to us can be dozens of miles away!"

With that, Li Ze took the lead and ran out.

That's right, they didn't ride horses, they simply relied on their feet to get there.

Song Wentong didn't follow immediately, but turned his head to look at the city gate behind him, only to see a black shadow quickly dodge inside the city gate.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and he whispered to himself.

"Tracking? ”

"Brother Wentong, hurry up!"

"Well, here we are. ”

In response to Li Ze, he no longer paid attention to the black shadow behind him, and stepped forward to catch up with Li Ze in front.

Two hours later, it was time for the midday sun to be poisonous.

Li Ze and the others also stopped and came to a stream to rest.

Looking at his empty hands, and then at Song Wentong, who was also empty-handed, he regretted a little, why didn't he bring something to eat... Now it's time to do it yourself.

"Brother Wentong, are you hungry? Why don't I go find something to eat?"

Song Wentong walked by the stream, and after hearing his words, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the woods behind him, and said softly.

"Eat, isn't this coming?"

"Huh?"

Song Wen's voice fell, and behind them, there was a sound of weeds by the stream.

Li Ze instantly became vigilant, pulled out the "Zhu Xian" sword wrapped in silk behind his back, and looked at the grass behind him vigilantly.

"Kiln ......"

The grass shook for a while, and then a black shadow came out of the grass.

Li Ze subconsciously swung out a sword, only to hear the sound of "dang chang". His figure took two steps back to the stream, and the hand holding the Zhuxian Sword trembled slightly.

At this time, he also saw clearly what the black shadow was, a black donkey, which was his one.

Seeing that it's your own people... Well, he was a little puzzled after his own donkey.

Isn't this donkey supposed to stay in the Li Mansion? How did he come here?

And is this a donkey? It even resisted one of his swords.

"Hairy belly, why did you come with you?"

Hairy belly, the name he gave to the donkey.

"Ahh.........h

The hairy belly screamed and shook the two burdens on his body.

Li Ze opened it curiously, and saw that the burden was all food, which his mother had prepared for him.

looked at the hairy belly in front of him, and then looked at Song Wentong, who was curiously looking at the hairy belly beside him, and couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Wentong, it seems that my mother knew that we would not eat, so she specially asked Mao Mao to send it. ”

"Really?"

Song Wentong didn't believe Li Ze's words at all, you must know that at the beginning he found out that the donkey was following them.

"Mingxin, I seem to be familiar with this donkey, I don't know where you found it?"

Li Ze was setting up something to eat, and subconsciously answered when he heard his inquiry.

"Oh, I picked it up when I was wandering the rivers and lakes. ”

"Ahh Autumn ......"

The hairy belly sneezed, then shook his head, raised his front hooves and grinned again, not knowing what to say?

Song Wentong didn't know, but Li Ze understood.

Thinking drifted away, back to when I first entered the rivers and lakes.

At that time, he was just a rookie who had just entered the rivers and lakes, and he had no experience...... Out of Bianzhou, the entanglement on his body is completely deceived by others.

I was hungry and ready to eat some game, and then I met a hairy belly eating a big worm in a barren mountain.

Yes, if a donkey eats meat, it is still the meat of a big worm.

At that time, he was stunned by what he saw, and then ............

"Mingxin, what do you want?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Brother Wentong come over for a bite to eat. ”

After eating and drinking, Li Ze looked at the hairy belly that was also full and full of food and drink swimming comfortably in the stream, and couldn't help but fall into a tangle.

They came out to travel this time, and it was reasonable to say that it was impossible to bring other people or other animals with them, but now that the hairy belly had already followed, it was impossible to leave from this posture......

couldn't help but grow his head for a while, and looked at Song Wentong, who was standing by the river in a daze after eating.

"Brother Wentong, we came out to travel this time, what should we do with you?"

Song Wentong did not answer his inquiry, but pointed to the stream in front of him and asked rhetorically.

"Mingxin, what do you think this creek will become in countless years?"

After disposing of those dishes, Li Ze also got up and came to the stream, looking at the stream, which was only five or six meters wide and two meters deep, and didn't understand why Song Wentong had this question?

After thinking about it, he replied.

"It should dry up in countless years, right?"

Song Wentong nodded, then looked up at the sky, as if muttering to himself.

"Yes, we will die in countless years, this creek will dry up in countless years, what will happen to the great rivers in countless years? What will happen to the endless oceans in countless years, will they all dry up?"

If Li Ze had learned the knowledge of the earth before crossing over, he would definitely tell Song Wentong.

Big brother, you think too much, according to the law of conservation of matter and energy and other lofty theories, unless the earth explodes, it is impossible for the sea water in the ocean to dry up. ”

It's just that he doesn't know, and now when he hears Song Wentong's question, he can't help but fall into doubts, which is a question worth thinking about.

"Streams and rivers will dry up after countless years, mountains and rivers will die after countless years... What will our world be like in countless years?"

Li Ze felt that he, Brother Wentong, was a little off-topic, and now the discussion should be about the hairy belly, why did it come to the world issue?

"Brother Wentong, what you said is still too far away, and it will be countless years before the stream dries up, let alone this world?

Even if the death of the world has nothing to do with us, after all, we have all been dead for countless years at that time, don't you?"

Song Wentong came back to his senses after hearing his words. It was also complicated to look at him.

sighed, and looked at the Zhuxian Sword behind him and the hairy belly playing wantonly in the stream.

It seems that it is time for him to make a choice, the hegemony of the mortal world and the transcendent immortality... After all, he chose the latter.

"We're almost done, let's go, we need to get to the next town before dark, or we'll have to spend the night in the wilderness." ”

"Brother Wentong, did you promise Mao Mao to come with us?"

"If he wants to follow, who can stop him. ”

"Ahh Autumn..."

Mao belly sneezed again, and then climbed ashore, shaking his head and shaking his head was Song Wentong and Li Ze who were chasing ahead.

In the study of the Li Mansion, Li Wenzhe looked at a picture scroll on the desk and commanded Li Zhong.

"Uncle Zhong, I planned to put it first, and you ...... directly"

Listening to his instructions, Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect to really come to this point.

"Master, do you really want to do this? If the young master knows......

Li Wenzhe looked away from the picture scroll on the table, and looked at Li Zhong with a particularly determined expression.

"Uncle Zhong, if it's really Ze'er, then he'...... I can't let the Li family fall into his hands...

This matter will be bothered Uncle Zhong, you will go through it yourself. ”

"Hey, rest assured, if it wasn't for the master, the old slave would have died outside the plug a long time ago.

As long as the old slave is still alive for a day, no one will be allowed to hurt the master's descendants again. ”
