Chapter 134: Acquaintance

The caravan set out early the next morning.

Last night, the innkeeper reminded them very subtly that it would be best to set off early.

After the caravan left the city gate, the sky gradually brightened.

There was already someone guarding the door of the inn where they were staying, waiting for the caravan to come out.

It was already dawn. They heard that the caravan had left early and wanted to rush into the inn to cause trouble. However, when they saw the expression on the innkeeper's face, they dared not to.

The boss looked at the people outside with a sneer. He had deliberately tipped off the people yesterday because he didn't want these people to ruin the good reputation of his inn.

The people in the caravan didn't take this matter to heart.

The head of the guards said to Master Decheng during a chat: "A few years ago, I saw a woman in a place snatch a man to take home to give birth to a child. In that place, good-looking men and women dared not show their faces in public.

Over the years, I don’t know if this custom still exists in that place, but whenever there is a caravan going there, I will wake up. ”

After hearing this, Master Decheng smiled and nodded: "I have heard of similar things."

The leader of the guards felt more and more that he had something to talk about with Master Decheng, and when he had time, he would come to the carriage and share some interesting stories with Master Decheng.

After hearing this, Shi Xiaoliu was always amazed and said to Shi Zelan: "Our Zhuangzi is a kind person who never does such robbing and robbery."

Shanzheng Zhenren sent a message to Decheng Zhenren: "You, as a disciple, really don't care about the outside world except for the elixir."

"Your sister Lan has heard too much gossip at such a young age. No wonder you want to take her out to relax."

Shi Zelan also liked to listen to the guard leader's stories, but she was not that surprised.

She whispered to Shi Xiaoliu, "Someone in the lecture hall said something that was even stranger than this woman stealing a man."

"I know, it's about men robbing other men, right?"

Shi Zelan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Liu, you are just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."

"You forgot I was in the medicine cabinet. I heard that this kind of thing is not surprising."

"Your Medicine Pavilion is a great place. We can't hear so many interesting things in Zizai Peak. The most I can do is ask Wanyu for a book about the secular world."

"What is your relationship with her like?"

"I'm not competing with her for Xia Yu, and Xia Yu and I have an average relationship, so it's natural that my relationship with her is okay."

"A man like Xia Yu will make many women lose their minds in the future."

“As time goes by, everyone knows that Xia Yu is devoted to cultivation, and the smart ones will naturally let go.

If you are not smart, you will probably forget about Xia Yu if you meet one or two handsome men. ”

Three days later, the caravan entered the next town. Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng took the two children to the teahouse to drink tea.

There was no one singing songs or telling stories in this teahouse; everyone just drank tea.

After sitting there for most of the day, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng felt a little bored. The atmosphere in this teahouse was too depressing.

When they returned to the inn, they spoke to the leader of the guards, and he went out to look for people, and they all left town the next day.

On the way, the head of the guards chatted with Master Decheng: "Fortunately you went to sit in the teahouse. I heard that the magistrate broke his leg a while ago, and the people around him couldn't stand others being too noisy."

As he spoke, he gave Master Decheng a knowing look: "We didn't get anything good yesterday."

Master Decheng smiled and said to him, "How many days will you stay in the capital?"

"Five days at most. The weather is getting cold, so we need to hurry home."

"You will stay in the capital until the next year's top scholar parade?"

Master Decheng nodded, and the guard leader asked, "Will you go home after this?"

Master Decheng thought about it seriously and said, "I will probably have to stay out for a few days before returning home."

The guard leader was happy: "Then we will meet again when we have a chance."

Master Decheng looked at his face and said, "You'd better not go too far away from home for two or three years."

The leader of the guards wanted to ask Master Decheng more questions, but when he saw that he quickly became concerned about the weather conditions in the capital, he stopped talking.

He could only pinch a piece of silver and give it to Master Decheng: "Let's settle the cause and effect."

Master Decheng took it generously, and the leader of the guards felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

He had heard Master Decheng give him some advice before, and he wrote it down at the time, but as time went by, he had forgotten some of it.

This time he really took Master Decheng's words to heart.

When the autumn wind blows and at dusk, the city walls of the capital are shrouded in golden light, which is shocking to see.

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan entered the capital, they agreed to go out of the city and touch the city walls in the future.

Master Decheng and his group stayed in the same inn as the caravan. The next day, after being introduced by the innkeeper, they rented a quiet courtyard nearby to live in.

When they moved, the leader of the guards took them to the small courtyard and helped them clean up the courtyard.

When they left, Master Decheng stuffed a porcelain bottle into the guard leader's hand and said, "This is a pill for detoxification. Use a small pill at a time. Don't take too much."

The pills that Master Decheng gave to Shi Xiaoliu were those that he had just learned to make, and they were just right for people in the mortal world.

Master Decheng quickly cleaned up his room, and Master Shanzheng also picked a room in the front.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went to the backyard very consciously and chose rooms at both ends to live in.

On the second day of their stay, Master Decheng went out to buy a cart of firewood, while Master Shanzheng brought back some food.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan cleaned up the kitchen. They had to cook three meals a day.

When the caravan left, Master Decheng and his party escorted them out of the city. They only went back after the last carriage had gone far away.

When they came back, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan touched the city wall and felt that it was very thick.

They returned to the small courtyard, and Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng quickly put away the carriage. They both breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He is such a warm-hearted person."

They arranged the lives of the four of them very well. During the day, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng would go out for a walk, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan could also go out for a walk every one or two days.

The capital is very large, with a large population and a strong atmosphere of life.

There was a bookstore near where they lived, so they could meet handsome bookworms and talk about reading with their friends on the street.

Shi Zelan would sometimes follow them a few steps to listen to what they were saying.

After the scholar had gone far away, she turned to Shi Xiaoliu and said, "You almost lived a life like this."

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at her and said, "I like the present day."

Shi Zelan smiled brightly: "Me too, this is the life I want now."

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng went out for several days in a row. When they came back, they said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "We should also get to know our neighbors."
