The journey was dull and tedious. In the first few days, Tuanzi was sitting next to his father and enjoying the scenery with great interest.
After a few days, I got tired of the scenery outside.
Tuanzi didn't want to go out either, so she just lay on the couch and played with beads and gold coins with her brother.
When I am tired of playing, I sleep, eat when I wake up, and talk to my dad after eating. When I am bored, I run back to play with my brother.
And these are Tuanzi’s daily schedule for more than half a month.
However, Tuanzi seemed unusually excited today, and couldn't wait to get out of the carriage after breakfast.
"Daddy, are we there yet?" Tuanzi sat down holding on to his father's arm and looked around curiously.
After traveling for more than half a month, the surrounding scenery changed from barren without any trees to the current lush trees.
Everything around was green, which made Tuanzi happy.
"It'll be here soon. We'll be there before lunch." Lu Changge held the rope in one hand and hugged the dumpling in the other.
"Oh!" Tuanzi responded, and then seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "Dad, do you know where Brother Tugen and the others are? Should we go look for them?"
"I know." Lu Changge answered Tuanzi's first question.
Then he asked, "Do you want to go find it?"
"Yes, Sister Xiaomin has a lot of delicious food, Brother Tugen can grow fruits, and I also want to play with Goudan and Sihu." Tuanzi counted with his little fingers and shook his head.
"Dad, when are we going to look for them?" Tuanzi looked up at his dad and asked.
"I'll go back in a few days."
"Why don't we go now?" Tuanzi asked.
"It's too far. Let's take a few days off before going again."
The carriage moved forward at a steady speed, and the little dumpling's voice could be heard from time to time.
Time slipped away from my fingertips unknowingly, and soon, a morning was over.
They also saw from afar the city closest to the border pass - Xuncheng.
Xuncheng is located at a high altitude. Although it is also a severely affected area by rainstorms, it has a good geographical location.
In addition, the drainage work was done well, so no houses were flooded and no casualties were reported.
Less than half a month after the rainstorm, the people patrolling the city resumed their normal lives.
However, compared to other cities in Fenglai Kingdom, Xuncheng is too remote, and few people want to escape here.
"Dad, look! We're here!" Tuanzi pointed at the city gate in the distance and stamped his feet excitedly.
"I see." Lu Changge stretched out his left hand to grab the dumpling, frowning slightly and said, "Don't jump, be careful not to fall."
"Oh!" Tuanzi responded obediently and sat down quickly.
As Tuanzi waited, the carriage drove for more than twenty minutes and finally arrived at the city gate.
Outside the city gate, there were two long lines.
Most of the people queuing up were traveling with their families, carrying large and small bags on their backs.
Lu Changge drove his carriage to one of the teams and stopped to line up.
The carriage behind also stopped.
You need to check the road pass to enter the city, so the speed is a bit slow.
By the time it was their turn, it was already noon.
After entering the city, Lu Changge went straight to the inn, but after visiting several inns, they all said they were full.
Finally, we found a relatively simple inn, which finally had a room available.
However, this small inn is different from other inns. It was converted from a courtyard house.
This small inn is run by an elderly couple.
The old man seemed to have some problem with his legs, probably a limp. He had no expression on his face and spoke very little.
But judging from the way he walks, he must have served in the military.
The old woman's voice was full of energy and her personality seemed a bit fierce.
They also have a son who is tall but looks silly when he smiles.
Maybe there's something wrong with my brain.
Lu Changge took a quick look and came to the above conclusion.
The carriage was parked in the parking area outside and everyone got off.
Doctor Xu got off the carriage, stretched his muscles, and said with emotion: "We are finally here."
After traveling for more than half a month, my whole body was sore from sitting in the carriage.
"Yes, it's even more uncomfortable than when I first lay in bed." Father Su came over with a cane.
After getting off the carriage, the two brothers of the Su family picked up their bags.
On the other side, Lu Changge carried her husband and child down, took a bag of spare clothes, and followed the old woman in.
As for the old man, he stayed behind to feed their two black horses.
Dahei and Erhei are tall and a little scary.
Fearing that they might scare other guests, the old woman did not let them in.
Lu Changge spoke up and asked Dahei and Erhei to stay in the carriage.
This small inn was originally a courtyard house.
After the renovation, there are three rooms on the north and east sides, and two small rooms on each side of the south gate.
Thirteen rooms in total.
The yard is quite large, with some flowers and fruit trees planted there, which can provide some shade.
You don't have to worry about people outside being able to see into the house as soon as you open the door.
"There is an empty room on the north and east sides, two rooms on the west side, and a small room in the southwest that can only accommodate one person. How do you want to rent it?" the old woman said as she led them in.
It was lunch time, and when Lu Changge and his friends walked in, the other tenants looked over curiously.
"In that case, I'll rent the southwest room." said Doctor Xu.
Anyway, he is alone, so living in that small room is just right for him.
"Okay, what about you?" The old woman looked at Lu Changge and Su Fu.
"Two rooms on the west side." Lu Changge said as he looked around the yard.
It just so happens that these two rooms are connected.
"Okay, come and pay the rent. Others can go in and see the room." The old woman said, extending her hand to the side.
After a long time, the registration book still didn't appear. The old woman frowned and looked at her silly son. "What are you looking at? Give me the registration book."
"Mom, he looks so much like my wife..." The old woman's silly son stared blankly in a certain direction and smiled foolishly.
"What does it look like..." The old woman looked in the direction her son was looking.
When he saw who he was looking at, he instantly got angry and hit him a few times.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! What do you mean by looking like your wife?" The old woman slapped his back so hard that it made a loud slapping sound.
The big fool felt hurt from the beating and quickly shrank his head and hid to the side.
But he kept saying, "Mom, why did you hit me? He just looks like my wife..."
The old woman saw that the man next to the boy had a gloomy face. She was worried that her son had offended someone, so she hit him a few more times.
"You keep talking! Keep talking! You only think about your wife all day long. Get the hell back home!"
With that, the old woman pushed her foolish son out the door.
Seeing that his silly son was still trying to look back, he suddenly frowned, "Still looking! If you look again, I'll hit you with a broom!"
"Mom, you bully me! I'm going to sue my wife!" The big fool was hurt by his mother's beating. His eyes were red. He yelled at his mother in a crying voice and ran away.
To be honest, it's really shocking to see a tall man crying and saying he was going to complain to his wife.
At least Lu Changge and the others couldn't bear to watch it.
"That uncle is so old and still crying. Isn't he ashamed?" Tuanzi grabbed his father's robe, turned around and looked at him, wondering.
"Aiya...shame on you!" Erbao also responded to his brother.
When the others heard this, they burst out laughing.
The old woman felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
She retracted her stern words, turned around and looked at Lu Changge and Su Qingyun, and said with embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, my son has a problem with his brain, don't take what he just said to heart."
"It's okay." Su Qingyun shook his head and didn't mind.
However, seeing that her husband's face looked a little ugly, Su Qingyun reached out and gently pushed him.
Seeing that the man's expression had eased a little, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief.
But she was also muttering in her heart, they do look a bit similar.
After collecting the rent, the old woman didn't stay long and left quickly.
Looking at the hurried footsteps from behind, it seems as if he is fleeing in panic.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Tuanzi tugged at his father's robe and looked up.
"Hungry..." Erbao also imitated his brother and patted his belly.
"Eat a bun first. Daddy will go cook." Lu Changge asked his wife and the children to go into the house first.
The inn provides three meals a day, but you have to order from the owner in advance.
Of course, you can also make your own.
There are three open-air stoves in the yard. Pots and water can be used free of charge, but firewood costs a few copper plates.
Now, two stoves are occupied, leaving the one to the west empty.
"Brother, I'm going to buy a few bundles of firewood from the boss." Su Fuyun said.
"Yeah." Lu Changge responded and followed him out.
He is still used to using his own pots, pans, and utensils.
