Chapter 38 Departure

In front, many people who were walking forward turned back, which made everyone confused.

"I'll go and see what's going on ahead!" Li Xiaoran said to everyone, and then rode his horse toward the front, but not long after, he returned.

"Brother Li knows what's going on ahead?" Lin Chen looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.

Li Xiaoran stopped and said to everyone: "I heard from those people that it had rained several days ago, causing many earth and rocks to roll down the mountain. Not only did it block the road ahead, but there were also many collapses. Because Wangyue City was recently blocked by the Liang army, everyone could not get out, so it was not until now that the city was opened. Those people said that this situation had never been encountered around Wangyue City before. Gu and his colleagues had no experience. This road should not be able to go in a short period of time!"

"What should I do?" Lin Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. He glanced at the carriage beside him. The one in the carriage was about to go back!

After hearing Li Xiaoran's words, the groom Liu He sighed and muttered: "Does Young Master Lin feel that everything is not going well recently? Could it be that we met a Wong Tai Sin before, which caused bad luck?"

Lin Chen then remembered that on the way to Wangyue City, it seemed that they had indeed encountered a weasel, but this weasel had been hit and killed by another group of people.

Although Lin Chen likes to hear some strange stories, he just treats them as interesting stories. He himself does not believe in things like ghosts and gods. So when he heard Liu He’s complaint, he suddenly felt a little amused and said: “Uncle Liu, don’t think too much. I have heard of those Huang Daxian, Qing Daxian, but that is the Baishan Mountain of Qing Kingdom and the legend of the Bohai Sea. Could this Huang Daxian still travel thousands of miles to Jingchu to visit relatives?”

Li Xiaoran also smiled and said, "Hehe, let's not talk about anything else. The Jin State stipulates that mountain spirits are not allowed to become spirits in the royal law. Qingxi is facing Jin. If Huang Daxian comes to visit relatives, he may be arrested in the cell as soon as he arrives in Jin State?"

Seeing Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran treating their words as jokes, Liu He immediately widened his eyes in anger and said repeatedly: "Don't believe it. When I was a child, I really saw someone killing a weasel who steals chickens. And that person died a few months later. No one dared to get close, for fear of being unlucky. You guys say, what is this not Huang Taixian?"

Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you are trying to make excuses when you are unlucky! If that Huang Daxian really exists, you will feel bad about it. Wouldn't you be afraid that Huang Daxian will come to you?"

As soon as he said this, Liu He immediately stopped talking.

Lin Chen calmed his smile, turned to look at Li Xiaoran, and said, "Okay, okay, no matter how much you joke, Brother Li, when you went to ask just now, did you ask if there was any other way to go?"

"If you want to go to Jingzhou City, it is the fastest to go from here, but it is obvious that it cannot be reached in front of you! I just asked, if you want to go to Jingzhou City, there are two ways to choose!"

"Which two roads?" Lin Chen asked.

"Water and land!" Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Lin Chen was speechless, how should I answer this?

Li Xiaoran looked at Lin Chen's speechless expression and laughed out loud, continuing, "The first waterway is naturally the Qingfeng River not far from Wangyue City, and it will take a boat south to reach Jingzhou City for up to seven or eight days. If you can't get used to the boat, you can only take the land route. However, if you want to take the land route, you must return from here as the same route, leave Wangyue City, and go around to another town to have a road to go!"

"If you are taking land, how long will it take?" Lin Chen asked.

It’s not that Lin Chen can’t get used to the boat, but that when the boat is sailing on the river, its shaking degree is much more uncomfortable than the bumps of the carriage. He has to consider Mu Yuejiao and Xiao Yueer, two weak women.

"Thirteenth day!" Li Xiaoran said, "They said the rain was heavy this time, and it took many days before we came to Wangyue City, which led to similar situations in many places! In addition, there are not many roads that can be taken near Wangyue City. Unless we abandon the carriage and walk the mountain road, we can only take a detour!"

But it is obvious that it is impossible to abandon the carriage.

Not to mention whether Mu Yuejiao and others can walk on the mountain road, even if they really abandon the carriage and rely on their feet to cross mountains and ridges, it will take a long time!

Lin Chen looked at Liu He and asked, "What should Uncle Liu think?"

Liu He shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've been protecting the lady from a long journey, so I don't say anything. Everything depends on Mr. Lin!"

"Okay!" Lin Chen nodded, then turned over and got off the horse, walked to the carriage, and knocked on the car window "tick" and saw that the curtains of the car window were slightly opened. Lin Chen saw Xiao Yue'er's big, watery eyes looking out the window through the tiny gaps she had pulled open.

"Mr. Lin, is there anything wrong?" Mu Yuejiao sat in the carriage and asked softly.

"This is the thing..." Lin Chen briefly told Mu Yuejiao about the process of what he had just encountered.

Finally, Lin Chen said: "If you take a boat and walk on the water, you can reach Jingzhou City in just three or five days. However, the shaking degree of the waterway on the boat is much more uncomfortable than the bumps of the carriage, and once you get on the boat, you can't stop by, so Miss Mu can think about it first!"

Mu Yuejiao said softly: "Although the little woman has never taken a long boat, I heard from my father that some boats will not shake, right?"

Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "It's not that it won't shake, it can only be said that the shaking amplitude of the big ship should be lighter."

"Since that's the case, then take a big boat!" Mu Yuejiao decided.

Lin Chen didn't know how to answer the conversation again.

Well, he almost forgot that Miss Mu is the eldest daughter of the Mu family in Jingzhou City. What's wrong with taking a big boat?

Thinking to himself, Lin Chen nodded, turned to Li Xiaoran and said, "Since that's the case, Brother Li, let's go and go on the waterway!"

"good!"

Li Xiaoran nodded. After Lin Chen got on the horse, he immediately turned his direction and led Lin Chen and others to a pier near Wangyue City.
