Chapter 39 Just go east

The fifth day of the first lunar month is also the beginning of spring.

Song You is packing his bags in the yard.

Bring all your clothes.

There are not many clothes and it doesn't take up much space.

Water bags, dry food, pots and cups, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, geographical records, including the uneaten meat hanging on the beams of the stove. You don’t need to bring too much, but you can’t take less of what you should bring.

The journey is long, and it is unavoidable that we will have to sleep in the open air and be cold in spring, so we must bring something to keep us warm at night.

The wool felt donated by Yu Zhizhou is of the highest quality and is very thin. It is more insulating and warm than a mattress, and there is not much space when folded. If you bring a thin blanket bought at the temple fair, you won't have to worry about sleeping in a deserted mountain temple.

These days there is a quilt bag similar to a pannier bag, which is also bought at the temple fair. It is the kind commonly used in business trips and the army. It is strong and can be packed. After it is packed, it is placed on the horseback.

Just hang the hat and raincoat on top.

The bay-red horse stood obediently and allowed him to manipulate it.

"..."

The old man bent his waist and watched Song You counting the coins. He smiled as he watched: "May I ask, young gentleman, where are you going?"

Today and yesterday were the beginning of spring, the beginning of the vitality of all things, and the vitality is the most intense. This vitality is of great benefit to everything in the world. This year, the first ray of spring spiritual power under the mountain is different, and Song You gave it to

The bay red horse makes it look energetic now.

Such a fairy should be written down.

Farmland and cottages beside the road, the scenery is beautiful.

But the calico cat raised its head and looked at him:

"What am I going to say?"

Song You raised the bowl and drank the last sip of tea.

A man, a cat and a horse came out of the city gate.

"Then you still have to look for it."

"..."

Several people watched from behind, feeling very strange in their hearts.

I happened to be a little tired.

"The side where the sun rises in the morning."

Yu Zhizhou was stunned for a moment.

"Then what are you looking for?"

"We seem to have walked through here."

But when my husband said this, his tone was indifferent, as if he thought it was normal, and he didn't take twenty years seriously at all.

In the afternoon, we went to Jinyang Road again.

"Young man, don't lie to me. My family was poor in my early years. My son went to Xuzhou to do business with his second uncle. Later he stayed in Xuzhou. It was far away from the main road and there were bandits.

It has been two years since I last came back. A few days ago, my old lady missed her son and became sick from overwork. She stayed up all night. She was ill in bed the day before yesterday. The little old man asked the officials passing by to write a few letters to ask for a favor.

Someone takes him there so that he can be taught to come back and have a look..."

The loess road outside the city leads to the end of sight.

These days, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, making it difficult to deliver letters. When we leave Guanma Avenue, there are both demons and bandits on the road, making it even more difficult to deliver letters.

In fact, he has only heard of Xuzhou, which is to the east of Yizhou. Going east requires passing through Xuzhou, but he has never heard of Luanjun at all.

Song You still glanced at Yu Zhizhou a few times.

How many twenty years does a person have in his life?

I have only heard of some people who spent twenty years pursuing fame and wealth, and some who spent twenty years willing to fall into ruin, but I have never heard of anyone who spent twenty years traveling around the world.

"..."

Not far away, we saw another tea stall with a lot of people.

Finally, I said goodbye to the direction of the bamboo forest:

"There have been many interruptions in the past six months, and I often listen to Madam sing and spend my free time. Although I enjoy it in my heart, when I think about it carefully, it is really rude. I should say goodbye to Madam and apologize to Madam for leaving like this. I only wish Madam to come soon.

Resolve your obsession, or wait until your husband comes back as soon as possible."

Before leaving the city, Magistrate Liu and Magistrate Yu hurried over again.

"The horse is smart and doesn't need a rein."

"If I had known that my husband was leaving today, Yu would have given me a banquet to see him off yesterday, and I would have asked him to forgive me."

"..."

"Want a bowl of tea."

There are ancient trees on the ancient road, which provide shade from the sun and rain.

The calico cat took small steps to keep up with him, while tilting its head and looking up at him: "Are you going to find where the sun comes out?"

Both parties faced each other and bowed deeply.

Luo Captou was behind him, and County Magistrate Liu was also stunned.

If we say goodbye now, we will never see each other again in this life, right?

"Sir, walk slowly."

There are thousands of mountains and rivers ahead, and the weather is unpredictable.

The horse just stood silently in front of the stall, and did not run around without a leash. When he saw the young grass shoots he liked next to him, he only took a step or two, lowered his head and ate slowly, and did not go further.

"Why should we go back again?"

"Thank you very much, Zhizhou."

"The class leader is thoughtful."

"Which way is east?"

The old stall owner was greatly surprised, but he also went to make tea.

"where are we going?"

"Thank you sir."

However, I asked many people and found little success.

"Ten cents."

"Need not."

Mountains and rivers can block sounds and messages, but they should not block the family ties between mother and child.

"Hard to say."

"them……"

This world is not as developed as his previous life, but it still has many wonderful things. Even though Song You has been staying in Taoist temples for the first half of his life, he has already seen part of it, but he feels that there is more to it, so he wants to see more and more.

Wonderful scenery, more mysterious and interesting things.

"No need."

"I have not seen."

"What are you doing there?"

Song You led his horse over and stopped in front of the tea stall.

Just in time for a bowl of wontons.

"oh."

The Jianghu people and businessmen around him also frequently glanced at Song You. This was just a slightly surprising thing, but paired with Song You's Taoist robe, it immediately seemed to have a mysterious meaning, even for the unruly Jianghu people.

He also restrained his contemptuous eyes.

Outside the door, Mr. Luo, dressed in soap clothes, stood at the entrance of the alley.

It just so happens that the weather is good today. When walking along such a tree-lined path, the sunlight is faint and dotted. I walk slowly through it, stepping on the bluestone slabs. My eyes are bright and dark, sometimes covered by shadows and sometimes sunny.

When it hits the body, the horse's hooves can be heard by the ear, the heart is calm, not worried about the long journey, not afraid of the sound of wind and rain, and the feeling is extremely beautiful.

Song You counted ten copper coins, but did not answer for a moment. Instead, he smiled and asked the stall owner:

"My father-in-law, do you want to bring a letter?"

"You don't even know?"

Sanhua Empress still ran back and forth, sniffing here and there, sometimes showing a puzzled expression.
