The sun that has fallen to the bottom of the mountain is still exerting its residual heat, faintly highlighting the brightness of the bright moon.
A breeze seemed to be blowing between the dazzling Milky Way, and I suddenly felt a chill.
[Why do you feel a little cold? Could it be that your mood has changed? 】
Thinking of this, Lan Chen couldn't help but raise his head, look up at the stars, and gradually raised his hands to embrace the gentle wind.
"It's cool! Hahaha!"
"Finally I know what 'the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying'! Sure enough, riding a horse alone is a very special experience!"
If you want to be comfortable, it is best to go to the escort agency and take a carriage. It can also reach the capital as quickly as possible. Not only will you have a companion to talk to, but you will also have better protection.
But he had already tried it once when he went to Huadu last time. This time Lan Chen just wanted to try one person and one horse to try the exhilarating feeling of traveling to the end of the world with a sword.
To put it bluntly, it is the kind of person who has finally learned how to ride a horse and only rides in a carriage when traveling far away. He is not allowed to pull out a horse and show off.
It was only when he was getting ready to go to bed that Lan Chen realized that doing so was "free", but it also caused a little trouble.
Just like now, Lan Chen was troubled when he looked at the messy "Yuzhang" in front of him.
Can anyone teach him how to set up a tent?
Although it seems that making a tent is very easy, it is nothing more than a few pieces of gray cloth and dozens of tent structures, but... there is no way to start.
He shook his body and looked around for a moment. Although this was a small forest with a small lake next to it, it was a good place to camp for the night, but he had no place to sleep. Lan Chen was so anxious that he wanted to leave now.
, go straight to the nearest town to find an inn.
After taking out the map and confirming the location in detail, he decisively gave up the idea.
Let's just go with it honestly. Who can let yourself be stubborn and insist on pursuing the so-called wind meal camping.
"Damn it! I've settled so many things, I don't believe it, but I can't even break the bank. I'm desperate, so I'll use the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed!"
After having the so-called 'escape route', Lan Chen could calm down even more, and was busy thinking about how to assemble the two useless things, the gray cloth and the tent structure. He even suspected that a 'mortise and tenon' structure was used inside.
!
After eating some dry food to fill his stomach, by the light of the fire, Lan Chen finally put up the tent after an unknown amount of time. It was just a little bit crooked, but it didn't matter, he could sleep.
OK.
Lying in the tent, Lan Chen fell into a deep sleep. This was his first time spending the night in the wild, and all the novelty he had had had been washed away by fatigue, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, after doing morning exercises, it was another hasty journey to sleep in the open.
But Lan Chen also enjoyed it quite a lot, and chose the wild road that did not pass through the town.
Looking at flowers, tasting the stream, perusing trees, and hunting animals is a joy.
After a few days of travel, Lan Chen was inevitably tanned, but his eyes also shone with a different kind of brilliance, as if he had the whole world in his bag.
If there's anything worth noting in the past few days, perhaps it's the occasional thunder showers in the distance.
Looking away, that direction seemed to be a certain town, so it must have been a success in praying for rain.
At the same time, during this trip, he didn't even see a single refugee. He even managed to kill several bandits and learned from them that the famine had been greatly alleviated, so they came out to return to their old trade.
"We're finally here. No matter what, we need to find an inn to rest for a while first!"
The wilderness is free, but it is inevitable to become half a savage, rushing to find a place to rest before entering Beijing.
Qinggang Town is about thirty miles away from the capital and can be reached in just half a day. Going north along Xuzhou, this is the best place.
Although the population here is not large, there are several inns, but they are all full, which makes Lan Chen feel a little at a loss.
Why are everyone rushing to the capital today?
Could it be that we have to set up a tent tonight and just spend the night?
At the last inn, Lan Chen, holding on to his only remaining hope, rushed to the counter, "Waiter! Is there any room left?"
"Yes! Sir, you are so lucky. There is only the last room left."
"Phew...stay one night."
"Forty cents. Hey, sir, you see this food is expensive, so we can only raise the price accordingly. Besides, there are so many people now and there is no room anywhere, so..."
Lan Chen waved his hand, interrupting the waiter's rambling nonsense, and then reached into his bag to fumble around for a while.
At this time, a person came outside the door. It seemed a bit inappropriate to call him a person, because he was like a disaster victim. He couldn't stand firmly. He wished that half of his body was on the ground and he was meandering forward. He could see the counter.
When there was someone standing in front of him, he suddenly cheered up and flew up quickly.
Snap!
Lan Chen couldn't help but tremble with fear, and almost screamed. He turned his head away tremblingly, saw the big hand on his shoulder and asked slowly, "Who is here? What are you doing with me?"
"Sir...sir, do you want to check out?"
"No, I want to move in." Lan Chen rolled his eyes. "There is only the last room left."
I saw the man flash out, muttering, "Xiaoer! Leave that room to me! I'll go out... woo!"
After blowing his nose hard, the man looked like a pitiful pug, as delicate as a little girl as beautiful as a flower.
But this person is clearly a man.
He is thin, frail and dressed in white, but he is also dirty and has long messy hair. For those who don't know, he really thinks he is a disaster victim.
But no matter how disheveled he was, there was still an unusual aura faintly emerging from his body.
I'm just saying, this guy seems a little stupid...
"Ugh! I have no money! All my money has been stolen. Ugh! I only have twenty coins with me. Waiter, can I move in?"
"Guest, you are not following the rules. A room costs forty cents. Besides, after all, this guest came first. You, please lean back a little." The waiter led the waiter.
Said with a little disdain.
When I first met this man, I thought there would be a "fight between dragons and tigers," where the highest bidder would get it and he himself could make a profit from it, but now it has become a joke.
"Here, here is one tael of silver. Come up with all the good food and drink."
"Okay! Sir, please come to the second floor."
"Let's go, what are you doing here?" Lan Chen rolled his eyes.
"ha?"
"Don't you have no place to sleep? Are you hungry? Let's make an agreement first, you sleep on the floor and I sleep on the bed."
"Is this true!?"
As if his soul had returned to its original place, the man's eyes widened in an instant, but his vivid appearance looked more and more like...a dog to Lan Chen.
I'm afraid if he didn't bring out the plate of meat now, he would have to stick out his tongue and babble.
"Really, even pearls are not so real."
"Pearl? What the hell is it again? Forget it, this young master, you haven't asked for your name yet? When I find my luggage in the future, I will reward you with a lot of money!"
"Lan's name is Chen."
"Nice to meet you, I'm...you can call me Xiaotian."
"Xiaotian? Mr. Tian? Or should we say a natural disaster victim? Huh, let's go. Let's make a deal first. If you dare to snore tonight, I will kick you out!"
When you go out, you can help whenever you can. This Xiaotian also looks quite decent, so he shouldn't be that kind of sinister person.
Also due to the recent weather and sleeping in the open, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, and my words are almost useless. It seems that I feel sympathy, but in fact it is for Lan Chen himself.
"Hahaha! No, no, no. Then I have to thank Mr. Lan again. Please go first."
Xiaotian raised his hand to signal, but after Lan Chen left, he also made a face towards the waiter, as if he was murmuring something.
The waiter rolled his eyes when he saw it. This was really the first time he had seen him eating and sleeping.
Xiaotian also hurriedly followed, but subconsciously slowed down, frowned, and his face became unusually serious, muttering to himself, "Lan Chen? Why does it sound familiar?"
