Early on the next morning, the motorcade set off from Shanmenyi.
They had to pass through the Lianyun Mountains before truly leaving Qingshui County and entering the neighboring county, Biyun County.
Although Lianyun Mountain is a famous mountain range in the Yong Kingdom, it stretches for hundreds of miles. It would take at least five or six days for a convoy to cross it.
Lei Xingkong was still sitting in Zhou Jiuzhong's car. He looked around all the way and asked Zhou Jiuzhong about the customs and customs of Lianyun Mountain from time to time. He was very interested.
Zhou Jiuzhong saw Lei Xingkong's high-spirited appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Lei, you are indeed no ordinary person. I usually see some young people who are traveling far away for the first time. They are still alive and kicking on the first day.
But on the second day, I started to feel tired, listless all day, and didn't even want to say anything. But you are different. You talked to me all day yesterday, and today you are so energetic together. If you hadn't known it earlier
Even I can't tell that you are traveling far away for the first time."
Lei Xingkong smiled and said: "Uncle Zhou, you don't know, when I was in the county army, I also traveled long distances with the army, but it was not as far as leaving Qingshui County to go to the capital this time."
Zhou Jiuchong laughed and said: "People who have served in the military are indeed different from ordinary people." When he spoke, he obviously felt a little proud.
Then, Lei Xingkong chatted with Zhou Jiuzhong about other things.
"Dad, drink water!"
While the two were talking, Zhou Xiaozhi handed a water bag to her father.
Then, she handed another water bag to Lei Xingkong: "Brother Lei, please drink some water too."
"Xiao Zhi, thank you!"
Lei Xingkong took the water bag, took a big gulp of it happily, and then gave it back to Zhou Xiaozhi.
Zhou Xiaozhi put down the water bag, then obediently took out the dry food and asked: "Brother from the Lei family, do you want to eat some wheat cakes?"
"No need!" Lei Xingkong pointed at Zhou Jiuzhong and said, "I'm not hungry, give it to Uncle Zhou!"
Zhou Xiaozhi shook his head and said: "My father never eats while driving. He wants to eat later when he takes a rest."
After a slight pause, Zhou Xiaozhi asked again: "Brother Lei, do you want to sleep for a while first?"
"No need!" Lei Xingkong shook his head.
"Brother Lei, do you want to..."
"Brother Lei, do you want to..."
"Brother Lei, do you want to eat..."
Originally, the little girl was still a little wary of strangers towards Lei Xingkong, but after what happened last night, her attitude suddenly changed. She shouted "Brother from the Lei family" one after another, and she became very close to him.
.
Lei Xingkong also liked this sensible little girl and talked to her from time to time, and the two soon became very familiar with her.
…
In the Lianyun Mountains, the convoy moved neither fast nor slowly.
For several days, the caravan traveled during the day and camped beside the mountain road at night. The fatigue of sleeping in the open made many people miserable.
In comparison, the three people in Lei Xingkong's car were doing much better and didn't feel it was very hard.
Fortunately for Lei Xingkong and Zhou Jiuzhong, what's rare is that a little girl like Zhou Xiaozhi doesn't show any fatigue on her face when traveling every day. This is probably because she has followed her father's carriage around since she was a child.
On the way, the caravan also encountered two groups of thieves in the mountains, but they were all dealt with by Jin Hongwen and his men either literately or militarily.
In his previous life, Lei Xingkong had been in the army and had never seen bandits rob him. In this life, he was finally lucky enough to meet one, and he gained some experience.
It was not until the sixth day that the caravan gradually walked out of the mountains and forests and arrived at the inhabited plains.
In these days, Lei Xingkong's heart finally accumulated enough Canglong energy and tempered it in one fell swoop.
After the heart tempering is completed, the tongue suddenly becomes more sensitive to taste.
However, compared with the benefits brought by the greatly improved eyesight when the liver was completed, the role of the tongue was not too obvious. Lei Xingkong did not pay too much attention to it, and just continued to immerse himself in cultivation to transfer the inner energy in the Dantian.
And enter the spleen….
In addition, he would check the illusion of knife marks once a day, and then slowly spend time figuring out the tricks to increase the speed of the knife.
Sitting on the carriage, Lei Xingkong would pick up a small branch and make gestures from time to time. Even without using internal energy, he could roughly understand the speed of the sword move.
"Brother, you are always dancing around with branches like this. How stupid do you make people look?"
Seeing Lei Xingkong's weird behavior in the past few days, Zhou Xiaozhi would say something from time to time.
At first, she called Lei Xingkong "Brother Lei", but as the two became more and more familiar, her title was soon changed to "Brother Lei". Later she learned that Lei Xingkong
She is the only child in the family and has no brothers or sisters. The little girl immediately upgraded her title to "brother". People who didn't know it actually thought that Lei Xingkong was her biological brother.
Lei Xingkong didn't take it seriously, so he let the little girl call him "brother" and only regarded the little girl as his younger sister.
"Brother, we have already left the boundary of Lianyun Mountain, and we are going to Qingtian City ahead." The little girl said again.
Lei Xingkong came back to his senses, threw away the branch in his hand, and said jokingly: "How do you know?"
The little girl's beautiful little eyes widened and she said proudly: "I have walked this section of road with my father many times, so I naturally recognize it."
Lei Xingkong touched the little girl's head and asked, "Tell me, what fun and delicious food is there in Qingtian City?" After a slight pause, he added, "Well, Xiao Zhiruo is right, then
When I enter the city, I will buy you candied fruits and candied haws."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true!" Lei Xingkong smiled and nodded.
The little girl has been "traveling around" since she was a child and knows more things than ordinary children. Lei Xingkong also likes to tease her about this.
The little girl cleared her throat and spoke in a sweet childish voice: "There is a very famous restaurant in Qingtian City called Guanyuxuan... There is also a shop specializing in rare treasures called Jibao Pavilion..."
"etc!"
When Lei Xingkong heard "Jibao Pavilion", his heart moved, and he quickly interrupted and asked: "Xiao Zhi, where is the Jibao Pavilion? Please tell me more carefully."
"Brother, what are you asking for?" The little girl looked puzzled, "The things in the Jibao Pavilion are all rare and rare treasures, and they often cost tens of thousands, which we cannot afford.
Moreover, I have heard people say before that the Treasure Collection Pavilion in Qingtian City has three floors. The first floor is just for buying some ordinary treasures, and everyone can look at it. But if you want to go to the second and third floors,
You must hold their tokens, and the people who can get those tokens are rich and powerful dignitaries, not ordinary people like us."
"Oh, so that's it!" Lei Xingkong thought for a while and said, "Then we have to go see it. Well, we can't go to the second or third floor. It doesn't matter. We can just take a look at the first floor.
"
The little girl pretended to be mature and said: "Well, when you enter Qingtian City, I will take you there!"
Upon seeing this, Lei Xingkong deliberately touched her little head and joked: "Okay, my Xiaozhi is so good!"
The little girl shrugged her nose and asked tentatively: "Brother, will you buy me candied fruits? Buy me sugar-coated haws?"
Lei Xingkong nodded: "Yes, buy it!"
The little girl suddenly smiled proudly, her eyes were bent like the moon, she was so cute.
