Chapter 68: Peach Forest

During the trip, Li Si and He Zhong started chatting. After a while, the two sides became familiar with each other and let go a lot.

Li Si chatted with him and found that the little old man was a very interesting person. From his mouth, he knew that when he was young, he was idle and had a high opinion of himself. He was not favored by anyone. He was scattered in the county town, and he thought he was a rascal and stood up for justice everywhere. He did not achieve anything in middle age, nor did he marry a wife.

By the time he woke up, he was already in his forties and had accomplished nothing at this age. No woman could favor him. He could only live on his horse, which he bought together when he was planning to travel.

"I regret it a little!" He Zhong sighed, then shook his head again, and smiled: "But this is nothing. I have been wandering around for most of my life and don't want a woman to take care of me. It's good to go wherever I go, and it's okay even if I die on the road."

"Driving~"

After He Zhong said that, he laughed and whipped the horse's butt with a whip, and the carriage suddenly became faster.

Li Si thought slightly. He was a little moved by He Zhong's words, but he didn't know what to say.

At the same time, he wanted to laugh in his heart. He probably would have to deal with monsters and ghosts in the future. Getting married and having children would only be a luxury for him. He would harm others and himself, and he would probably have the same ending as He Zhong.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Si threw this idea aside. He was drunk today. Who can tell the future?

But when the two were chatting, they didn't notice that a man in a red fur coat was standing on the top of the carriage with his waist hooked up, with a gloomy face. He walked carefully to the edge of the carriage and slowly stretched out his two dead blue palms covering He Zhong's eyes.

…………

"Oh... the old guy went wrong, here." On the way, He Zhong suddenly shouted and hurriedly grabbed the reins.

"Wait..." The slow horse neighed, and took a broken step with four hooves in place with some anxiety.

Seeing this, He Zhong immediately got off the carriage, walked to the side of the horse and gently stroked its hair and neck, and hummed an unknown little song on his mouth.

What surprised Li Si was that the slow horse quickly calmed down from anxiety, and he knew something in his heart that this might be a means of training horses.

"Mr. Li is sorry. My horse hasn't come out for a while and I'm a little anxious." After comforting the slow horse, Huang Zhong looked at Li Si apologetically.

"Nothing happened." Li Si nodded slightly.

Then He Zhong got on the carriage and continued to drive the slow horse toward the front.

Li Si was in the carriage and watched the scenery around her keep regressing, and she was also a little tired.

After all, he didn't sleep well last night. When he felt sleepy, he took out a set of clothes from the bookcase and put them behind his head and started to sleep soundly.

Immediately afterwards, a boy flew out of Li Si's chest, and the air in the car suddenly became a little cold.

He Zhong shivered in front, looked back at Li Si, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, he gently twitched the horse's butt. The carriage suddenly slowed down a little, much more stable.

They were walking through the forest. The temperature was high in some places here and the temperature was low in some places. So He Zhong didn't take it seriously after the sudden cooling just now.

The boy in the car looked at He Zhong with curious eyes, stared at him, and after a while, he lost interest.

After retracting his gaze from He Zhong, he sat next to Li Si, looking out through the window at the scenery outside, with a look of joy in his eyes.

The carriage was driving all the way, and because the sun became more and more vicious, the cicadas in the forest and the calls of other unknown insects became louder and louder.

After driving for about an hour or two, it was already noon, and the carriage stopped in a place shaded by big trees.

When the carriage stopped, Li Si leaned forward due to inertia and woke up immediately.

"Mr. Li, let's take a break first and eat something." He Zhong, who was in front, turned around and said to Li Si.

Li Si responded, yawned, stretched, took dry food and gourds from the bookcase and walked out of the carriage.

When He Zhong saw Li Si coming down, he wiped a piece of bluestone with a sweat towel, turned around and said to him, "Grandpa Li, sit here."

"Uncle He is polite." Li Si smiled at He Zhong, and then sat down on the bluestone.

After he sat down, He Zhong also sat down and said to Li Si while eating dry food: "This is Jingning County, which will take about three days to drive. There are several civil offices along the way. During this period, we can just stay in the nearby civil office every night."

Li Si nodded slightly and asked He Zhong: "How far is the nearest Minyi Office to us?"

"You can arrive before the Xu hour today." He Zhong said without hesitation.

Hearing He Zhong say this, Li Si nodded and continued to eat dry food.

"Suosuo..." Suddenly, a slight sound came.

Li Si looked at the sound and saw a black and brown snake wandering among the grass behind him.

As soon as he saw this snake, he was startled and immediately stood up.

At this time, He Zhong also saw the snake, immediately put down the dry food in his hand, took three steps and two steps to catch up with the snake, slapped it quickly on the snake's head, pressing the snake's head to the ground.

After the snake's head pressed on the ground, the snake's body began to curl up.

After He Zhong pressed the snake's head, he slowly contracted his palm and pinched the snake's neck, while grabbing the snake's tail with his other hand.

Li Si couldn't help but look at him a few more times. With such a fast reaction speed, it was obvious that he had practiced a few skills when he was a Ranger.

"Hey, I'm lucky. This black snake has more than one pound. Today I can eat meat." After catching the snake, He Zhong smiled and walked to the back of the carriage, took out a small bamboo basket from the debris and put it in.

After putting the snake into the bamboo basket, He Zhong covered the lid and explained to Li Si with a smile: "Mr. Li Xianggong, the Minyi in front is full of ordinary wild vegetables, and they have no meat flavor."

"But with this black snake, I'll just go back to Minyi and ask the chef to stuff the green peppers. I'll get more for you then."

"No need, I don't like eating snakes." Li Si smiled apologetically and continued to eat dry food. He really had no pursuit of this wild game.

He Zhong scratched his head awkwardly. Suddenly, he seemed to see something, pointed in one direction and shouted in surprise: "Mr. Li, look at what's there."

Li Si was a little surprised, so she turned her head and looked carefully in He Zhong's direction, but she saw that there was a peach tree forest on the other side of the roadside. There were so many peach trees, and from here you could see the peaches on the tree.

The reason why the peaches were raining before was that they were covered with rain, which looked extremely tempting and delicious.

These peach trees were previously blocked by trees on the roadside, otherwise they would have discovered such a large peach trees.

Li Si and He Zhong looked at the peach and looked at the dry food again. They immediately felt that the dry food tasted like chewy wax.
