Walking from Wuyi Mountain to the northeast, Zhang Yixian also met some pedestrians along the way, all of them were wearing patches and burdens, their faces were hungry and yellow, and their eyes were walking without a look, they had lost hope in life, maybe an unknown ravine was behind them in the next second.

After walking along the official road for about three days, most of the places passed were dilapidated, and even the slightly pleasing villages were not inhabited, for no other reason, in the troubled times, whether it was the rebel army or the Yuan soldiers.

"Old man, let me ask you, is there a county seat on this trip that is convenient to settle in?" On the official road, Zhang Yixian led the donkey and pulled the frame, and an old man over fifty years old walked in front of him, but his old age was more old than his actual age. Behind him was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Zhang Yixian took out a piece of dried meat about half a catty from the frame and stepped forward to smell it.

"The noble man is polite, about twenty miles along the official road, which is the county seat of Wuyi, where you can settle down and rest. The old man was very grateful for the piece of jerky given by Zhang Yixian, and after taking it, he was not ambiguous, he tore off half of it and handed it to the young man behind him, and the grandfather and grandson devoured and chewed it, and when they turned around, they could still clearly see that there were tears overflowing in the old man's eyes.

The world is strong, and people's hearts are not ancient!

Walking along the official road for about two hours, Zhang Yixian saw the county town mentioned by the old Han, on the bluestone city wall more than three zhang high, sparsely standing a group of Yuan soldiers looking for guards, and on the city gate, a stone plaque was hung on it.

The four big characters of "Wuyi County" jumped on it, but in many places because they had not been maintained for many years, the handwriting began to fall off.

At the place where the city gate was guarded, there were only two Yuan soldiers on duty, one was responsible for collecting the entrance fee to the city, and the other was responsible for defense, and the defense was so lax that a dozen cavalry could also defeat this county town.

After paying the entrance fee to the city and entering the county, the buildings here are not dilapidated, the streets are also full of people, and there are more than a dozen shops on the side.

"Yuelai Restaurant. ”

Zhang Yixian took a look, this may be the largest restaurant in the entire county, because other places are either small stalls or small shops, and there may not even be a serious meal.

"This nobleman, how many are you?" As soon as he stepped forward, a sharp-eyed junior came forward.

"Little two, what kind of delicious food do you have?"

"This nobleman, you are right to come to our Yuelai Restaurant, we are the largest restaurant in the entire Wuyi County......"

After a long list of boasts, Xiao Er also felt that it was too much, so he didn't continue to arrange it, but said a few dishes that were good in the store.

"Two catties of beef in sauce, three bowls of rice, plus a few side dishes to make a table. ”

"Okay, you sit down first, nobleman. ”

"Two catties of beef in sauce, three bowls of rice plus a table of jade and white jade. Xiao Er shouted loudly and went from the back kitchen.

In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Yixian got a gauze scarf for Di Yue halfway through, at least saving a lot of trouble.

After sitting down, Zhang Yixian found that in addition to them, there were three or four tables of guests sitting in the lobby in the restaurant, most of whom were soldiers wearing official uniforms.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Er, who had gone and returned, came back, carrying a pair of chopsticks in his left hand and a plate of sauced beef in his right hand.

"Noble people use it slowly!"

"Wait, Xiao Er, I would like to ask you about something, how many miles is there from Wuyi County to Yingtianfu?"

"Yo, I'm afraid it's hard to say, how can there be three or four hundred miles, and there is a war on the side of Ying Tianfu, and you will be safe on the way, besides, even if you get to Ying Tianfu, the rebellion there will not let you go." I advise you to think about it more. ”

"Alright, here's a bounty for you. ”

"Ouch, thank you for the tip!"

The shopkeeper was happy to reward the money, and he was busy again.

"Big brother, how far is three or four hundred miles?"

"This ...... It's going to take an hour. ”

Zhang Yixian replied casually, he didn't know the specifics.

But after thinking about it, although flying with the emperor moon is not a difficult thing, but moving forward step by step, isn't it just to be able to see this world that is both familiar and unfamiliar?

Di Yue didn't ask, but quietly ate the sauced beef on the table.

I have to say that in the midst of troubled times, the silence here has not been affected by the outside world, it is still the same, and occasionally there is a war.

Holding the chopsticks, I sandwiched a piece of sauced beef, and it tasted really good.

"Come, Xiao Yue'er, eat more, it's a rare opportunity. Zhang Yixian took a piece of sauced beef with chopsticks and put it in Di Yue's bowl.

These pieces of beef in sauce are very large, each piece is the size of a ping-pong ball, the lean meat is firm, the fat is smooth and tender, and with the heat just out of the pot, it is very tempting to look at.

Zhang Yixian took a sip of the aroma of meat in the air, and then stuffed this piece of meat into his mouth, as soon as the meat entered his mouth, a mouthful of the flavor of the sauce mixed with fat and the strong taste of the beef itself rose in his mouth.

The two of them ate this meal for half an hour, but Rao was like this, and there were still dishes that had not been eaten.

After settling the account, he inquired with the shopkeeper about the general situation in Wuyi County, and one of the places mentioned by the shopkeeper made him feel some interest, that is, the Longwang Temple located at the east gate of the county.

Moreover, if you want to go to Yingtianfu, you have to go out of the city from the east gate, anyway, it is also a way, Zhang Yixian also wants to go to see the Dragon King Temple enshrined here.

The county seat of Wuyi is built along a river, there is a wide and smooth road on both sides, about two zhang wide, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and there are some vendors carrying burdens on the side, which seem to be a little angry.

"Hey, there are so many people there, are you about to arrive at the Dragon King Temple?" walked east along the river in the center of the county for about a quarter of an hour, and at the east end of the city, Zhang Yixian appeared in his sight, a temple, many people came in and out, and it seemed that the incense was very prosperous.

"I didn't expect that there was such a big Dragon King Temple in this small place. After Zhang Yixian saw it, he also found that this temple was indeed quite atmospheric.

Moreover, most of the people who entered and exited it carried sacrificial tributes in their hands, and even there were two strong men guarding the entrance of the Dragon King Temple, which seemed to be the guards raised in the temple.

"These days, the life of the gods is not easy. After making a joke, Zhang Yixian took Diyue into the Dragon King Temple.

"Stop, if you want to enter the temple to petition, you have to hand over the money to the Dragon King!" Just as Zhang Yixian's footsteps were about to step into the door, the guards waiting on both sides shouted loudly.

The people who came and went around glanced at the two of them, and then moved on.

Zhang Yixian smiled, took out a piece of gold leaf from his arms and handed it to the guard who spoke out before, and then said: "When you come to the Dragon King's house as a guest, how can you not bring some gifts, this is a little careful." ”
