The next morning, I got up before dawn.

Su Su got up earlier than me, so she hurried over to serve me dress and wash. After I packed up, I sat at the table. The porridge and vegetables had already been set up. When I turned my head, I saw several big bags on the couch next to me, which was shocked.

When I entered Sichuan, I didn’t bring anything at all, so why did I clean up so much?

Su Su brought another plate of side dishes and saw me looking at the bags, she said, "It was the head of the family that asked the young lady to bring more things to the road. There are large mines in Taihe, but there is not the prosperity of Chengdu. It is convenient to bring more things to the place, and you won't suffer."

"Oh, it turned out he was told."

I listened and couldn't help but smile faintly.

He took care of all major things and did not forget these trivial things.

I quickly finished breakfast, and Susu, Du Yan, and a few accompanying servants walked out together. The bags were very spectacular, but fortunately there was a carriage waiting outside.

When they threw these things into the car packs, I looked back and Yan Qingchen's figure appeared on the high steps, but there was no intention of coming over, but just looked at me from afar.

His eyes seemed to have remained on me.

I vaguely remembered what he said yesterday, that back then, he watched me leave, so there was no pain that he could not bear in the years afterwards, and now, he was facing such a parting again.

I just hope I can come back soon.

The time was almost here, and Su Su helped me get onto the carriage. Du Yan rode his horse and took the servants and guards to follow him. Finally, I lifted the curtain next to me and looked at the figure above. He seemed to chuckled at me, but it was too far away and I couldn't see clearly. He just waved his hand at him, and the carriage drove forward.

I left the Yan family again.

This time, I was not walking the road from Pei Yuanhao and his friends to the river, but walking eastward and following the river in the city. I could hear the lively sounds outside along the way. There were bustling traffic on the bustling street market, people coming and going. On the river bank, I could also see girls washing veils and singing. Various veils floated with the water, dyeing the entire river into colorful colors.

I looked at it for a while and silently put down the curtain again.

No matter how you look at it, Xichuan is in a state of peace and prosperity, and there is no problem of sparse population at all.

Why did Qingchen ask Pei Yuanhao to move people to Shu?

I leaned against the window and couldn't help but frown. Su Su sat on the other side. Seeing my frowning look, she said softly: "Miss, what are you still worried about?"

I glanced at her and shook my head: "Nothing."

"Is it a headache?"

“A little bit.”

"Ah, I remembered it-" She suddenly knelt up and ran to the pile of luggage to search. After a while, she took out a small thing from a bag and sent it to me. When she looked down, she saw that it was a very delicate sachet.

"This is the explanation from the head of the family. He said that the young lady would definitely be worried about Xichuan's affairs and would have a headache. This medicine pack on the young lady can relieve depression and calm the mind."

"Yeah?"

"Well, he personally told me."

I reached out to take it. The sachet was heavy. I don’t know how many medicines were contained in it, but it was sewn very delicately. Yan Qingchen could think of all the big and small things, and could even take care of such small things.

How can your health be good?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and hung the sachet on my body.

After walking for a day, we left Chengdu City, and after walking east for another three days, we arrived near Taihe.

As Qingchen said, this place is a large mine with almost no people. Sure enough, the more we walked forward, the less people there were around. At first, we could see some small towns, but the road became narrower and more rugged. We didn’t see a town again for a long time. There were only some tea stalls and some people coming and going on the roadside.

All you see are mines. Some places have been mined and scattered mine caves can be seen. Some places have not been developed yet. You can see exposed deposits that have become extremely dark after being exposed after wind and sun.

I looked at these mines and my mood gradually became heavier.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the front. Du Yan first rode his horse to the front to see if there was any place to rest. Now he was back. When the sound of horse hooves walked to our carriage, I went over and lifted the curtain and saw him bent down: "Ms. Yan."

"How is it? Is there anyone smoking in front of you?"

"It's very deserted here. I've walked a long way and I can only see one or two people on the way."

Su Su was startled: "Then aren't we going to sleep in the wilderness tonight?"

Du Yan said: "Not that. I asked them and said there was a village in front of me, where iron ore was mined in this place for generations and forged iron tools for a living."

"Oh?" I asked, "What village is it?"

"I heard that it's called Tiejia Village."

"Tiejia Village?"

When I heard this name, my heart couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Tiejia Village... Tiejia?

The appearance of Tieyushan flashed through my mind and asked, "How far is it, that Tiejia Village?"

"I heard that I'll have to walk more than ten miles in."

"Then let's go forward while the sun hasn't set yet."

"Um."

Du Yan nodded, then walked to the front and greeted him. The rushers and the guards around him all added a lot of effort. Our speed was much faster than before.

As if we were rushing to the sunset, we finally arrived at that "Tiejia Village" when the sunset was about to set.

Most of the villages in Xichuan are in the same shape. This village is very similar to the previous Gantang Village. Although there are not so many lush trees surrounding it, the ground is full of dogtail grass, which rises and falls slightly in the wind. A small river flows in front of the village, and a small bridge crosses it. I don’t know how many times they have stepped on the stone slab road. Some of the strong stone slabs have cracked one by one.

At the end of the stone road is the entrance of the village, a tall walnut tree.

As the sunset shines, you can see many walnuts swaying among the leaves, looking like fruitful.

However, there are not many people in this village.

Not only are there many, but there are still very few.

We got off the carriage, Du Yan walked in front with his guards. Su Su helped me slowly into the village, but found that the village was very quiet and could hardly hear any voices. After walking for a long time, even one could not see a single person.
