Chapter 4: Departure

More than a dozen gang members, surrounded by two luxurious eight-person golden sedan chairs, came to the gate of the proud building with the sound of "hey, hey, hey".

The shopkeeper Sun of the proud building came to the sedan chair with a smile on his face to greet him: "Lord Shen, Lord Guo, please hurry up!"

Shen Yun, who had just gotten off the sedan chair, looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper Sun nodding and bowing, looked satisfied, and waved his hand.

"Oops. With a bang, there was a pain in his leg, and Shen Yun woke up from his sleep.

There was a regular snoring sound beside him.

"It's a dream. Shen Yun got up, and through the hole in the wall, he saw that it was white outside, obviously it was still early, and it seemed that there was still fog.

I immediately put my mind at ease, I slept late yesterday, and I have been worried about oversleeping.

"Brother Long, Brother Long, get up. Guo Long shook for a while.

Guo Long turned over and sat up, rubbed his hazy eyes, and looked outside: "Hmm, it's too early, right?"

"Don't be seen by Xiao Mao as soon as possible, and you won't be able to go if you block Xu Heitou. Shen Yun said helplessly.

"The city gate hasn't opened yet, don't worry, no one will block you......" said Guo Long and fell down again.

Shen Yun hurriedly asked, but Guo Long was still confused: "Let's sleep again, you still don't believe me." ”

"Leave him alone. He muttered helplessly, and got dressed first.

"Squeak", open the door, everywhere is gray, the thick fog of white flowers rolls endlessly, and you can only see a few feet away.

"Hey, it's cold. Guo Long shuddered, sat up with a wry smile, and sighed, "Forget it, get up." ”

Shen Yun grinned, ignored him, hurriedly went to wash, and turned out the flatbread to deal with breakfast.

Guo Long was not in a hurry or slow, he looked confident, and under Shen Yun's urging, the two packed up and walked towards the west of the city.

Shen Yun was frightened along the way, looking around, but fortunately he didn't meet any acquaintances, and he didn't relax until near the West Gate.

Guo Long kept snickering.

It didn't take long to wait, and in the middle of the day, the west gate was wide open, and the four armor soldiers on both sides were majestic. Jia Yuan City has always been peaceful, and no one interrogated them when they enter and leave the city gates.

Guo Long carried most of his bags on his back, looked at Shen Yun who was excited and anxious, and walked in front with a limp, shaking his head and smiling silently.

Stepping out of the city gate, he turned around and looked at Jia Yuan City behind him.

The tall city gate looks majestic in the morning light, and the three large gold lacquer characters of "Jiayuan City" are engraved on the city gate, and there is a smaller white word "West Gate" below it.

Shen Yun couldn't help but recall that three years ago, when he saw this tall and majestic city wall for the first time, he suddenly sighed.

"What? I can't help but leave. Guo Long joked with a smile.

"It's a little reluctant, but it's time to go. Shen Yun rolled his eyes, turned around and left.

The sun was scorching behind the fog, and the sky was much brighter.

An official road in front of it winds its way to the west, and many small roads branch off on both sides of the avenue, leading to the villages in the distance.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and in the fields along the road, the industrious farmers have already begun to busy, and in the distance, there are endless mountains, which are not really visible.

After walking for a while, Shen Yun suddenly showed a trace of sadness, and pointed ahead: "Brother Long, there seems to be a mountain?"

"yes, so what?" Guo Long looked up, puzzled.

"Well, I wish I could climb the mountain before nightfall, I don't want to sleep on the mountain. Shen Yun sighed, as if he remembered something, and his face became even more sad.

Guo Long's brows also furrowed, and after a moment, he stretched out again and patted Shen Yun on the shoulder: "There is no turning back from the bow, and he is gone." ”

After walking for about half an hour, the two came to the foot of the mountain.

The surrounding hills are not too high, and the official road passes through the valley.

The sun is smiling at the moment, the fog is gone, the sun is shining on the earth, and the dew on the leaves is crystal clear, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

A gentle breeze blows, fresh air blows in your face, and the trees sing cheerful songs.

"It's a great place, and it's very comfortable to be able to stay in a hut like this. Shen Yun was in a good mood and looked yearning.

"Then what to eat?" Guo Long was slightly stunned and said casually.

"If you eat, you can go up to the mountains to hunt, or grow some food......" Shen Yun looked unimpressed.

"These lands have owners, and they won't be given food growers, right......?

"Hehe, I'm just talking nonsense. ”

Shen Yun likes a quiet environment, while Guo Long likes to be more lively, which causes the two to have different ideas, although they can usually coordinate well, but the difference always exists.

Walking to the high ground of the valley, Shen Yun turned his head to look behind, Jiayuan City had already turned into a black shadow, and at this time, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and when he arrived here, he no longer had to worry about Xu Heitou chasing after him.

"Xuanning City, I'm coming!" Shen Yun roared, startling the birds.

There was an echo of "coming" and "coming" from the mountains.

laughed heartily: "Brother Long, this time we must find a big gang to join, like the Tangram Gang." Seeing Guo Long nodding, he said with a smile, "I can't give those watchdogs anymore, look down on them." ”

Guo Long smiled, and suddenly said distressedly: "Gangs usually recruit people after the Chinese New Year, how can they spend a few months?"

In fact, the two brothers had planned to sneak to Xuanning City together after the New Year, but now they have advanced it by several months.

"Hehe, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and Aunt Li also gave two taels of silver, and the guest house is complete. Shen Yun didn't care, his heart was full of joy to escape life.

"Oops, I forgot. ”

Stopping and stopping in small talk, passing through several small valleys, it was noon.

Climbing to the highest point, I saw that beyond the forest in front of me, there was a large plain, and the official road passed through several villages, extending into a distant place, and there was no end in sight.

In the middle of the village, green smoke rises, and pedestrians can be seen on the road.

"Hehe, there's no mountain ahead. Shen Yun looked surprised, it seems that there is no need to sleep in the barren mountains tonight.

"Seems like a town?" Guo Long squinted.

Shen Yun looked at it, and saw that a few miles in front of the avenue, several villages were connected, and the location where the official road passed through it was a small town.

"Brother Long, shall we rest?" After crossing the hill, Shen Yun was no longer worried, and he felt a wave of tiredness hit him, and he was a little out of breath.

"You can rest for a while. Glancing at Shen Yun, Guo Long smiled energetically, "I'll go over first, and by the way, find out how far it is to go to Xuanning City." ”

"Alright then, you put your luggage down, I'll rest for a while and then walk slowly. Shen Yun gasped as he opened the stopper of the gourd, took a sip of water, and looked around, looking for a place to sit.

"Okay, I'll pick you up later. Guo Long thought about it, and probably felt that it was inconvenient to inquire about the news with his luggage, so he didn't insist.

took the water hyacinth from Shen Yun's hand, poured a few sips and handed it back. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and strode towards the town ahead.

Shen Yun found a clean stone and sat down.

He was already tired, and if he hadn't been worried about getting out of this rolling mountain area until it was dark on the road just now, he would have proposed to rest a long time ago.

There are many wolves and insects in the mountains, and sleeping on the mountains at night makes me shudder to think about it, but fortunately, this mountain range is not very wide.

Although there were no pedestrians in the mountains, the sound of insects and birds singing endlessly made Shen Yun feel lonely.

Looking up at the sky, the blue sky was like a wash, and the white clouds were fluttering.

"What is this?" Shen Yun was suddenly startled, stood up suddenly, and rubbed his eyes, "Was it dazzling just now?"

There seemed to be a flash of light in the air, but when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, he saw nothing.

I searched harder, but I still found nothing.

Legend has it that among the famous mountains and rivers, there are immortals, who are high above and fly with their swords. When Shen Yun looked at the sky just now, he vaguely saw a figure flying over the top of the high white clouds.

Legend has it that there was an elixir in Jiayuan City, which was a sensation, and it is said that it is a priceless treasure that can prolong life.

Did you really see an immortal just now? Or was it dazzling?

Shen Yun looked suspicious, but unfortunately he didn't find the fairy shadow again.

"Alas, even if I am an immortal, obviously I don't have an immortal fate, otherwise I would have come down to take me as an apprentice. ”

In the play, immortals occasionally appear to ignite destined people.

Shen Yun shook his head with a wry smile, sat down again, turned out the dough, tore a slice and chewed it in his mouth.

In the distance, Guo Long's figure had just walked into the town and disappeared from view, Shen Yun couldn't help but secretly envy this kid's physique, carrying so much luggage, and walking all morning without getting tired.

"If you want to say that I also get up and practice boxing with Brother Long every morning, why do I always get tired after practicing for a while, but Brother Long is always energetic, am I born almost almost?"

"No, it seems that he will be tired at the beginning, but he has persevered. I seem to be tired, so I just rest, and it seems that this is the reason. ”

"Well, I'm going to keep practicing boxing in the future. ”

I was secretly determined.

Otherwise, if Guo Long becomes an elder or a protector in the future, he is still a small errand, and he will be a dead man. Among the gangs, they are tested according to their qualifications, and if they don't have a good physique, their status can't be high.

"It's time for me to move forward. Although he didn't feel that he had rested enough, Shen Yun still gritted his teeth and stood up, taking this as a test of his determination and perseverance.

I carried all the luggage on my back, but I walked slowly, and it was a downhill road, so I didn't feel too hard.

On the contrary, I was secretly proud, I said that I could persist and do it.

The town in the distance gradually became clearer, and it was estimated that there were still more than two miles to go.

Shen Yun was tired and panting, and at this time he saw Guo Long walking out of the town, so he simply put down his luggage and stood on the side of the road waiting.

Looking up, I saw that to the south of the official road, there was a vast and boundless plain, full of fields, and many ponds and villages sparsely embedded in it.

To the north of the official road, the terrain is obviously higher, and there is an endless mountain range in the distance.

At the foot of the mountain, a few miles to the north, there seems to be a mountain temple, and on the mountainside to the northwest, you can faintly see the houses in the forest.

"Could it be that there are people living on the mountain?" Shen Yun muttered alone.

After another while, Guo Long had already approached, and beckoned from afar: "Xiaoyun, go so fast." ”

"Hey, hey, you're still fast. ”

"I'm so thirsty, where's the water?" Guo Long looked happy and took the water hyacinth.

"Goo-goo-goo" is a burst of cow drink, gasping out a long breath of anger, squeezing his eyebrows at Shen Yun, and his tone is long: "I found one, very, very, good news!"
