Liu Xiu had no purpose for this trip. He was full of expectations when he went wherever he went.

As for the return date, it is around winter...

At that time, the task he set for Li Changan was also up, and it was time to check the results. Moreover, the snow was snowing in winter and the earth was covered with whiteness. The scenery was monotonous and there was no sight. It was better to stay in the mountains and have a pot of warm wine and soak in the hot springs. Wouldn’t it be nice to stay in the mountains and eat winters, heat a pot of warm wine and soak in a hot spring?

Starting from Qingliu Town, Liu Xiu did not go to Linjiang City. After all, he had already been there. He set foot on a small road and started his journey.

He did not fly and was walking at an ordinary person's speed. He could not walk a hundred miles a day at such a speed, but he didn't care, he wanted the feeling of being at ease.

It is better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. Although it is a trip, if you go to a certain place to see a certain scenery too deliberately, it will be unbeautiful. Perhaps you can encounter a pleasant scenery by turning the corner inadvertently.

After leaving Qingliu Town, wherever you see, there are torrents formed by heavy rainstorms everywhere. They flow in the mountains, fields, and woods. When they reach the low-lying places, the torrents gather into rivers and rush towards unknown places.

The road was muddy. Liu Xiu was walking on the road. After a while, his feet were covered with mud and the hem of the long gown became dirty. He was a little obsessive-compulsive, but he did not have a serious obsession with cleanliness. He wanted to do whatever he wanted. Therefore, he did not use means to deliberately avoid these things, but instead enjoyed it.

Walking on the muddy road, Liu Xiu recalled his life in his hometown in the countryside when he was a child. At that time, the roads in his hometown were similar to those now.

Liu Xiu still remembers that when he was about four years old, he went to herd cattle with his father. At that time, he was still young and accidentally fell into a mud pit and then became a mud monkey. At that time, his father twisted and fucked his butt twice. His clothes were pulled down by his father and dried them in the sun. He was having a bare butt on the hillside for an afternoon...

In addition to the muddy road under your feet, you can see pictures of mountain torrents everywhere, landslides, falling trees, and destroyed fields.

Although the heavy rain that lasted for several days has stopped, the weather has not completely cleared up, and it may rain lightly at any time.

With mud and water, Liu Xiu set out from Qingliu Town in the morning, and only walked about twenty or thirty kilometers by noon. He probably hadn't even left the area of ​​Qingliu Town yet.

This is because he is not tired at all and keeps moving forward. If it were ordinary people, he would probably have walked less than half of the distance.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy rainstorm a few days ago that he had not even encountered a single person on his way for so long.

After looking at the sky, Liu Xiu found a clean stone and prepared to take a break here to eat something, and clean the muddy body.

He did not bring dry food, and even did not even bring money when he went out this time, so he was truly a poor trip.

But he was not worried about the food and accommodation issues during the trip. He was very good at eating and playing wild game, and he was very good at staying in the wild. Anyway, he would do whatever he was happy.

Then, he bounced his fingers and a stone broke out into the air. Then a pheasant who was looking for food in the grass a hundred meters away fell to the ground, stepped over and picked it up, and then plucked the hair and got dirty.

After the heavy rain, there was no shortage of water everywhere. After cleaning the pheasants, Liu Xiu picked up firewood and roasted them.

"Tsk, I forgot to bring some seasonings..."

He shook his head and smiled. He didn't care. He roasted the pheasant on the fire, and went to wash his shoes and clothes hem, and then baked it by the fire.

When he dried his shoes and clothes, the pheasants were also cooked.

After eating half of the pheasant, I barely filled my stomach. To be honest, even wild game is not delicious without seasoning.

He didn't throw away the remaining half of the pheasant. He picked two wide leaves and wrapped them in a basket. He could still eat it when the next meal was hot, not because of saving. He was just for fun, but he would do whatever he was happy.

After eating and drinking, he continued to set off.

However, he did not move forward in the next road with mud and water. Although he was still walking at a normal speed, his feet were not covered with dust.

He is not sick, and it is enough to experience it through the mud. Can he really make trouble for himself?

Stop and stop, in the afternoon, Liu Xiu guessed that he had walked out of a straight distance of fifty kilometers from Qingliu Town, and he didn't know what territory he was in.

To be honest, I really didn’t have any scenery worth his nostalgia along the way before. The scene after the heavy rain could not experience the freshness of the Kongshan Mountain after the new rain.

The only scene that impressed Liu Xiu was in a small river after the river surged. At that time, a dead tree that was thick with its embrace was washed by the river. Three or five snakes were wrapped around the dead tree, and then a nest of mice.

They occupied the dead wood together, and the snake did not attack the mouse, but actually floated peacefully with the dead wood.

Snakes and mice should be able to swim, so they need to rely on dead trees to survive?

When Liu Xiu saw the picture, he was puzzled, but he didn't think about it carefully and left it behind in a blink of an eye.

As he walked, Liu Xiu came to a big road.

However, this road seemed more difficult to walk than the road he had walked before. The loess road was covered with mud and there was no place to step on it. Of course, this had no effect on Liu Xiu at all.

Standing on the side of the road for a while, looking at Liu Xiu a little, he headed to the left.

There are obviously many people walking on this road, otherwise it would be impossible to be muddy like this. Through the footprints, Liu Xiu found that those who had walked this road before were heading to the left, with almost no footprints in the opposite direction.

After walking along the road for only a few dozen meters, Liu Xiu stopped and shook his head slightly at the side of the road and sighed.

There was a corpse on the side of the road, and the death was no more than half a day. The body was clean except for a pair of trousers, and it was obvious that the body was worn by someone.

He didn't go into the cause of the death of the man, nor did he think about who had pulled his clothes on his body. He looked at the corpse slightly. Liu Xiu reached out to the empty place on the roadside and grabbed the sky. The energy of heaven and earth turned into a three-meter hand and directly grabbed a big pit on the ground. With a thought, the body floated into the pit. The soil fell and rectified it. Liu Xiu simply buried it.

After doing all this, Liu Xiu continued to set off.

He had long expected that similar situations would be encountered during this trip. After all, the disaster after the heavy rain would affect many people. It would be fine if they didn't see it. Since he saw it, he would not want to see those who were suffering from the disaster still corpses in the wilderness after their deaths.

Burying the corpse is a way to respect the deceased, and if you ignore it, the decay of the corpse may have more serious consequences...

After walking and stopping all the way, Liu Xiu had buried seven corpses within ten miles of the distance, most of which were older, but one of the babies who were still in cradle made Liu Xiu feel a little uncomfortable.

In the face of disaster, all living beings are like ants!

The clouds covered the sky. It was probably when the sun set, and Liu Xiu finally met a living person.

It was an old man covered in mud. He rested on the side of the road with a crutch, carrying a small bag on his back, and looked at the old face in the distance on the muddy road with a numb and confused look on his face.

"Old man, do you need help?" Liu Xiu asked when he was about ten meters away from the other party.

Hearing the sound, the old man was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Liu Xiu with a little vigilant, "No...no need"

As he said that, he also kept the small bag on his body tightly in his arms.

Perhaps it was because he was too alert to Liu Xiu, the young man who suddenly appeared, that the old man did not notice Liu Xiu's feet standing on the mud without sinking.

"Don't be afraid of me, I'm not a bad person. I'm asking this question because I saw you through this place because I seemed to have encountered difficulties. If I'm frightened, I'll give you apologies." Liu Xiu did not approach the other party, but stood there and said.

The other party seemed to breathe a little relieved, but still shook his head and said, "Young Master, please leave first, I'm fine, just take a rest."

All living beings are like ants in the face of disaster, and the old man didn't know what he had experienced to come here.

Liu Xiu no longer insisted on the old man's refusal to help and nodded, "If this is the case, I will take the lead."

Seeing that Liu Xiu left as soon as he said that, the old man seemed to be sure that he was not a bad person, which was a very strange mentality.

He said to Liu Xiu's back: "Youngsheng, are you also fleeing to Niujiao Town?"

After stopping, Liu Xiu turned around and looked at the other party and shook his head, "I am not fleeing, nor are I a local. I just traveled since then. As for the old man, I don't know where I am in Niujiao Town you mentioned."

"That's how..."

Hearing Liu Xiu's answer, the old man pondered for a moment, stood up with a crutch and said, "The rainstorm a few days ago, and it was countless disasters. The road is not peaceful. Why are you, a young baby, running around? I'll walk with you for a while."

The old man seemed to be worried about his safety in turn. Although he was a little amused and crying, Liu Xiu felt a hint of warmth in his heart.

Seeing him walking towards him with mud and water, Liu Xiu said, "Old man, do you need me to support you?"

"No, I'm not old enough to walk, I've been growing crops for my whole life, I'm in a tough state," the old man refused, and waved the crutch in his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu didn't insist, and thought for a while and asked, "Is the old man going to Niujiao Town to flee?"

"Yes, a few days ago, the rainstorms were heavy, and the fields were harvested. Most of the village was washed away by floods. Where can I go if I didn't go to Niujiao Town?" the old man said bitterly.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiu asked, "Where is your family?"

Hearing this question, the old man's eyes were dull and seemed to ignite hope, and his tone was extremely firm: "The village was destroyed by the flood. In a panic, my family and I were separated. They must be fine. They must have gone to Niujiao Town with others. I am going to meet them!"

"They must be fine, you will be reunited soon," Liu Xiu nodded.
