Chapter 44: Miscellaneous hair trails, walking the rivers and lakes
After half a month, everything is arranged.
Fan Yu searched for an early morning, decorated his greetings, dressed up, and looked back at the Fan family compound in the early morning.
Take a deep breath and take a step away.
Recently, the capital has become increasingly stricter, and the inspectors have even begun to search for the surrounding areas. There are a large number of feather armor standing at the city gate tower, and every pedestrian and business trip entering and leaving must be carefully checked.
This puts great traffic pressure on the city gate. Those who line up outside to enter the city have been more than a mile long and are still increasing.
A young man in a bun and wearing a Taoist robe, carrying a package, was undergoing examination.
"Fan Yu?"
“That’s right.”
The captain looked through the post carefully and looked at Fan Yu from time to time: "Who are you from the Yi family's post?"
"I am not from the Yi family, but I am just entrusted by someone to do something."
"Waiting next to you."
After giving the order, the captain handed the post to the feather armor next to him and asked him to check the facts.
The Taoist walked aside and pretended to be puzzled: "This lieutenant, I don't know what happened, why did he suddenly need to check?"
The captain glanced at him and said coldly.
Soon, Yuzhi came back and said a few words in his ear. The captain nodded slightly and handed the post back: "Don't mind when doing routine."
"The lieutenant was joking, it was all official business. I will say goodbye and there will be a date later."
...
There are 68 major prefectures in Daxia, 48 southern prefectures and 20 northern prefectures. Compared with the north, the climate in the south is milder, with more rain and more mountains.
It was June, and the weather was already hot. Haoyang was hanging high, and the hot sun was roasting the earth, and the pedestrians were weak.
A man opened his robe, sat under the tree to cool off, and drank water with a gourd, and asked in confusion: "This is not the earth, why is the temperature in the north so much lower, but the temperature in the south so hot?"
After traveling for more than a month, I could only survey four or five continents, and the distance was very long to my destination Qinzhou.
The transportation is really underdeveloped, and there is only one official road in many places, which can be circled around, even cross mountains and ridges, rivers and rivers.
Some places, even hundreds of miles away, thousands of miles away are mountains and swamps, hidden in some evil spirits and practitioners.
If it weren't for relying on his cultivation, his true energy was strong, he was not afraid of wild animals, and he had the premonition of turning misfortune into good fortune, he would have just passed one or two continents.
I really don’t know how Daxia, which has such a wide area, communicates with each other and conveys information.
Shaking his head, I thought of the capital again, those people and those things, hurriedly left the capital, and many things were not yet done.
No longer thinking, I glanced at a place not far away. There were seven or eight carriages parked under the shade of a tree, with more than twenty people, including men and women, old and young, dressed in beautiful clothes and full of spirit, and there was a faint nobility between my eyebrows.
I saw him there, and several strong men dressed in short clothes, pinching swords and looking at him from time to time.
Fan Yu stopped looking, stood up and patted the dust, carrying a bag and carrying a scorching sun, and continued on his way.
In the afternoon, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, a wet air filled with it, and layers of dark clouds floated in the sky.
But in a moment, it started to rain.
There is a lot of rain in the mountains, the weather is strange, sometimes clear sky and sometimes wind and rain are causing heavy wind and rain. This is a common thing.
The fog covered the mountain and the road, and it was in a daze. So I stopped rushing to find a concave cliff to hide from the rain.
The rain fell for a long time until it was almost dark and it did not stop. It had to find some wet firewood, evaporate the water vapor with its true energy, then turn it on the fire, and pile up a bunch of bonfires.
The sky became darker and soon it became dark. Occasionally, a few lightning bolts followed by a thunder rolling, shaking the mountains and fields.
"There is a fire over there..."
"Go and go and take a look."
I don’t know when, suddenly there was a noise. Fan Yu opened his eyes and felt slightly, and knew that it was the group of people he met at noon.
Sure enough, more than a dozen strong men dressed in short clothes came over with a straw hat and a straw raincoat.
Seeing the fire, the faces of several people changed slightly. They obviously recognized Fan Yu, but they didn't expect that they could meet again here.
One of them winked at the others, walked over alone, bowed and said, "We have met this Taoist priest again."
Fan Yu looked at him slightly, and saw that his hands were not off the hilt, and smiled slightly: "It's a coincidence that the sky suddenly changed, so he had to take shelter from the rain here."
The man nodded and pondered, "It's not easy to walk on the night road, and it's raining again. I wonder if I can let the next group take shelter from the rain?"
"This place is vast enough to accommodate dozens of people. If you don't dislike it, you'll take shelter from the rain together."
"Thank you, Master."
The man bowed his hand, then turned around and shouted, greeted the others. After arranging the group, he came over with a box and smiled and said, "I'll disturb the Taoist priest. This is some food. If the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, you can try it."
This is to try me... Fan Yu took it, as if he didn't care at all. He opened the brocade box and there were some exquisite pastries inside. He picked up a piece, smelled it and put it in his mouth: "I'm worried about eating dry food so hard, so thank you Brother Li."
The man's pupils shrank, a trace of doubt flashed, and then he returned to normal. He seemed to be unintentional: "It is also fate to shelter from the same cliff. Li Zhenying from Quanzhou is here, and I don't know where Changxian Township is?"
Fan Yu laughed secretly and asked about the origin after the trial. It seemed that the person on the carriage had some identities, and a passerby had so many dramas.
After thinking for a while, he said, "A scattered monk is a family in all directions. Brother Li just calls me Fan Yu."
Seeing that he didn't want to reveal his identity, Li Zhenying didn't care. After all, he had to be careful when he was in the world.
As for the pastries he gave before, he could only be more skilled and bold.
In this way, he became more cautious and smiled and said, "It turned out to be Master Fan..."
There was a word of talk without a word, and soon they knew each other's identity. The man put aside his guard and said goodbye and returned.
Fan Yu shook his clothes, arched the fire, glanced at the other side, and got off the carriage, but it was not easy to see that his identity was not simple.
No more attention, close your eyes and rest.
