Chapter 300 All the way north

The silent group of fifty people, eighty-seven horses, and six big carts set off from Hangzhou on November 24th, arrived in Huzhou two days later, and then arrived in Suzhou two days. By the time we arrived in Zhenjiang, it was already the twelfth lunar month.
After three days, he finally arrived at the city of Yangzhou. He traveled for more than ten days in a row, but he couldn't stand it. Zhu Shisan suggested resting in the city for two days before going on the road. He was silent and naturally couldn't find it. He wanted to have a good time in the city, but after he took a break, he felt like he was filled with lead and slept like a dead pig in the inn for two days. When he recovered, it was time to set off again.
Until he left the city, he shook his head and sighed. Everyone thought he was regretting that he had missed the "Twenty-Four Bridges Moon Night", but he didn't know that Jie Yuanlang remembered the two seniors, Tang Jieyuan and Wang Jieyuan. I believe that Brother Bo Hu and Young Master Dong had experienced the "Where is Jade Man Teaching Flute" and the soul... When he thought of this, his heart really couldn't reach it, and he yearned for it.
At the same time, I also secretly made a great wish that the two seniors must not be so beautiful as before. Humph, one day, when I become rich, I will have to keep my wealth in Yangzhou with a crane!
But this good mood did not last long, because after crossing the Huai River from Yangzhou to the north, the road became more and more bumpy and difficult to move. The carriage that had been driving very smoothly south of the Huai River had become jumping, which could break people's intestines.
Since then, the warm and comfortable cart can only hold something, but it is impossible to sit in a person. Chen Si had to get off with the two girls and ride a horse instead...
Putting a soft cushion on the cold saddle, silently helped Ruohan onto the horse's back, and he also turned over and sat behind her back. Feeling his waist being hugged by him, Ruohan blushed and pinched him secretly, whispering: "It's sunny, go down quickly..."
Silently said with an innocent look: "You can ride a horse?"
Ruohan shook her head helplessly and smiled, "You go and help Rou Niang. I will learn quickly and I will definitely be able to keep up."
"But Rou Niang doesn't need to learn..." Shun pointed behind her, Ruohan leaned over her little head and saw Rou Niang sitting upright on the back of another horse, holding the reins in her hands and looking calm. She obviously had practiced it.
"I'm just a fool..." Ruohan lowered her little head helplessly.
"Not stupid or stupid." Silent smiled, his legs were clamped, and he walked forward with the beauty...
Ruohan was a little shy at first, but after a long time, she got used to it. She leaned in Shen Mo's warm arms and felt extremely comfortable. Then she opened her eyes carefully and saw Rou Niang fucking a horse, following not far from the left, looking heroic and enviable.
She asked curiously, "How could Rou Niang ride a horse?"
"It seems like I learned it when I was a child." Chen Si said softly: "But she doesn't want to mention the past, so we don't have to ask."
"Oh..." Ruohan nodded obediently and stopped talking.
When everyone rode on horses, the speed of traveling was finally faster. On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Huai'an passed on. After five more days, when we were about to arrive in Xuzhou, the sky became gloomy. Soon, the fine snowflakes began to fall scattered. Ruohan and Rou Niang grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. It was rare to snow. They were both a little excited and even reached out to pick up the snowflakes to play.
But the men frowned, and Zhu Shisan cursed in a low voice, saying, "I said why did you keep being abnormally warm this day? It turns out that it's going to snow."
Looking at the gloomy dark clouds in the sky, he nodded silently and said, "Yes, it seems that the snow is not small."
"It's even harder to walk when it snows." Zhu Shisan whipped the horse whip hard and said, "I can't go back before the New Year!" He is from Kyoto, so he naturally wants to go back before the Spring Festival so that the whole family can reunite.
Silently asked, "By the way, have we walked halfway?"
"Where is it?" Zhu Shisan shook his head and said, "It's just over one third. If it's normal, it will take more than twenty days. But if it's windy or snowy, it won't be too late for many days."
"It doesn't snow or not, so let's hurry up." He smiled silently, "Maybe it won't fall when you arrive in Xuzhou."
"Well! I hope so!" Although he knew that the snowfall might cover several provinces, Zhu Shisan still said with a lucky chance: "It will definitely be a sunny day when we arrive in Xuzhou."
But God was going to go against them this time. The snowflakes soon turned into large geese feathers falling all over the sky, covering the sky. The mountains, rivers, roads, and villages all turned into a confused chaos.
By the evening, the snow was still falling, and the wind was still blowing, and the temperature suddenly dropped. The guards had already taken off the cart, fur coats, leather hats and belts, and wrapped their necks and faces with thick scarves, revealing only two eyes, and trying hard to distinguish the direction... In fact, it was useless to widen your eyes, because there was a vast white area in all directions, and it was impossible to distinguish east, west, south and north.
Silently wearing a marten cloak, he wrapped Ruohan in his arms, fucking his horse with one hand and pulling Rouniang's horse reins with the other. In this harsh environment, he felt that he had to give girls a sense of security, even if it was symbolic.
Tiezhu came over with difficulty and shouted to him: "Sir, why don't we get lost!" After hearing this, he looked around in silence, and couldn't tell which road was or which was the gully... It would be impossible to keep going like this, so he said: "Let the team stop first, and then send a few people to explore the way."
"Okay!" Tiezhu called the team to stop, and personally led more than ten people to the front to find out the path. Zhu Shisan and others were too lazy to move, so they turned over and dismounted, hid behind a stone that sheltered from the wind, and kept lamenting: "It's over, it's over, it's over, this time we have to celebrate the New Year outside."
Chen Si also put Ruohan down, turned over and dismounted, looked up at the darkening sky, and sighed, "I have suffered from it."
Ruohan was dancing with her sore feet, and patted the snowflakes on Chen Si's body and said with a smile: "There will be fewer and fewer journeys in the next year, and I smile. I still have the fragrance of snowflakes when I smile. Is it good to ask the north? But I said, where I feel at peace is my hometown..."
Rou Niang blushed over there and said, "Sister, you made fun of me again." After walking half a month, the two of them had already had the same feelings as their sisters, but they were no longer as kinky as they were at first.
While rubbing his hands, he looked at the two girls with a smile. After a while, the explorer came back. After summarizing all the situations, Tiezhu came over with a serious expression and said, "I'm really walking to the dead end. It's probably hard to find people in the front fifty or sixty miles away. There is only a broken temple with a broken incense not far away. Please tell me, should you go there to camp tonight?"
Zhu Shisan, who came over to come, said, "Master Shisan, what do you think?" After all, they were the officials who escorted him to Beijing... Although everyone seemed to have forgotten this, Chen Shisan remembered that he had always been observing the measure of "People respect me one foot, I let me one foot". He walked and stopped along the way, and listened to Zhu Shisan's fall.
Zhu Shisan smiled and said, "Of course Brother Yichen, I'm not happy if you see you like this." You said that everyone was carrying the flower sedan chair, and it was warm to go back and forth.
The group followed the iron pillar and walked two miles northwest. Sure enough, they saw a temple in the wind and snow, which looked very dilapidated.
Looking at the hall in the courtyard, Hei Pi suddenly smiled and said, "There are no one here for a long time, so there must be wild birds perched. Take out the slingshots, and our meal tramples are all necessary." For a long time, slingshots and bows are necessary.
With the idea of ​​"I would rather believe it", everyone took off the slingshot from their waists and hung stones. Then they saw Hei Pi pick up two broken tiles, go around in the opposite direction, and throw them into the hall with their hands raised.
After hearing the crackling sound, he yelled again. Sure enough, a wild bird flew out of the hall and flew towards everyone. The slingshots of everyone were crackling, and after a burst of chaos, a variety of wild birds fell on the ground.
The guards picked it up and counted it, and there were eleven pieces of size. Tiezhu smiled and said, "It's just a little thinner, and it's not enough to squeeze the teeth when roasted."
"Make the soup." He smiled silently, "Add some ginseng slices, wolfberry and other things to replenish your body." Then he turned over and dismounted and looked at the environment around. He saw that the temple was quite spacious, and there were also east and west side halls outside the main hall. I don't know which immortal mansion was, and he silently said, "I offended you!" and ordered: "We all live in the main hall. You can remove the railings along the corridor and the doors and windows of the two side halls to make a fire."
Standing silently under the eaves and waiting, everyone began to clean up busyly. After a while, they packed up the hall and set up a bonfire with the collected wood, and then invited him in.
Silent led the two girls in. When they saw the burning flames, there was no damage inside. The paint on the beams and pillars of the hall was still lit, but the furnishings in the hall had been looted, leaving only a statue of the divine being covered with dust. The original appearance could no longer be seen. Only a couplet on the pillars on both sides could barely see the handwriting. The first couplet was "The sky is the tent and the ground is the felt, and the sun, moon, stars and morning sleep with me." The second couplet said, "I dare not stretch my feet at night, for fear of stepping on the mountains, rivers and the country."
