Chapter 191 Going to the Town
"I haven't been to Jiangzhou for a long time. When I went there last year, I found that it was changing with each passing day. I just felt out of place."
According to Zhang Xueyue, she was sold to Wang Mazi by her cruel father when she was thirteen years old. Over the years, Wang Mazi and she have been apart for most of the time. Wang Mazi does not allow Zhang Xueyue to wander around, and he has indeed not gone out for a long time.
"Do you really want to live your whole life in a muddle?"
Seeing her finish her story, Gu Feixue gave her a reminder.
This sentence was a kind of enlightenment. She was speechless and then stood up in confusion.
She walked to the window in one breath, and looked at the dark mountains in the distance with a melancholy look at the end of her sight. The dark green mountains were jagged and seemed to tear the sky apart.
"I..." The moment she looked back, Gu Feixue saw the sparkling tears in Zhang Xueyue's eyes, "I often wonder what's on the other side of the mountain."
"Perhaps," this question was easily answered by the knowledgeable Gu Feixue, "there are mountains, layers upon layers of peaks, towering mountains and steep cliffs."
Zhang Xueyue smiled slightly.
Gu Feixue held her hand and said, "You can try to make your own choice. After all, the future is in your own hands."
These words were too unorthodox for a woman who lived a secluded life, but to be honest, Zhang Xueyue really didn't like this place anymore.
She had long wanted to spread her wings and fly far away, over the mountains and rivers.
Thoughts are free-flowing, but actions are confined to one place.
At this moment she saw her, saw her dejected head watching them leave, saw her depressed expression.
Obviously, she wanted to take her away, but now she betrayed her and let her stay here.
"Stop the car!" Gu Feixue ordered.
At the command, the bumpy carriage stopped suddenly. Yuchi Shuo's center of gravity was unstable. If he hadn't grabbed the door frame, his body would have been thrown out.
But he didn't vent his anger on Gu Feixue at all.
Gu Feixue turned her head to look at Yuchi Shuo, "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
She got off the carriage and ran towards the door. Zhang Xueyue hurried down the stairs as if she had foreseen the situation, and the two of them hugged each other warmly.
"Okay, let's go." Zhang Xueyue patted Gu Feixue's shoulder lovingly, "Be careful when you go out. Think twice before doing anything. I can at least protect you here. Once you go out, there will be bad guys everywhere. How can I protect you?"
"Don't worry, we'll go together."
"Me, me and you?"
"No!" Gu Feixue smiled sweetly, "You and them."
Zhang Xueyue was excited, but her face soon turned pale. She muttered, "How are we going to explain this to the master? Now I'm the mistress of the house. Who will take care of the affairs of the mansion if I leave?"
"You're really worrying too much and have a very high opinion of yourself. You think of yourself as a celebrity, so people just think of you as a name. You know that."
Zhang Xueyue was still hesitant.
Gu Feixue smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two soon arrived beside the carriage. Wang Mazi saw that Gu Feixue was about to take Zhang Xueyue with her, so he hurriedly stopped her, "What are you doing? She still has to look after the house."
"Grandpa said," Gu Feixue had already grasped Wang Mazi's weakness. As soon as she spoke, Wang Mazi's pupils suddenly dilated and he secretly glanced at the carriage. Gu Feixue continued, "Let me take her away with me. Anyone who has any objections can go to him. Master, you know that I obey the old ancestor's words. I will do whatever he says."
"Well, whatever."
Wang Mazi had no choice but to nod.
The group headed towards the town in a mighty procession.
After leaving the mountains, the distant scenery is as open as a whetstone. The trees on both sides of the road are green and full of colorful flowers, and the air is filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
Zhang Xueyue lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
Seeing the clusters of buds and branches hanging down overhead, almost brushing against the carriage, she pursed her lips and smiled, "The world outside is so beautiful."
"They say you've traveled a thousand miles, but you've only been away from home for half an hour. What good is that? If you really like the outside world, go west. There's a vast desert stretching as far as the eye can see, with smoke rising straight from the desert and the setting sun over the long river. It's breathtakingly beautiful."
"You can also go to the east. There are grasslands in the east. The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless. When the wind blows through the grass, you can see cattle and sheep."
Zhang Xueyue originally wanted to run away, and after hearing what Gu Feixue said, she became even more fascinated by the magnificent scenery.
"As for the north and south, the Antarctic is covered with snow and is freezing cold all year round, while the Arctic is covered with ice and snow, and is extremely enchanting." Hearing this, Zhang Xueyue yearned for it even more.
Seeing that she had built up her confidence, Gu Feixue continued, "Since space travel and navigation are still not up to standard, why not go and see the underwater world and the city in the sky?"
"Can I?" Zhang Xueyue's heart beat faster.
Just like a gifted martial arts genius who never knew that he could become a peerless master through training, Gu Feixue's words completely opened up her Ren and Du meridians, and she benefited greatly from them.
"There are so many places to go. You haven't even been to Chaoshan to see the ocean. There are also active volcanoes in Japan. When the volcano erupts, the golden and sulphuric rocks are so beautiful."
Hearing this, Zhang Xueyue was intoxicated.
"Can I really?"
The more detailed her blueprint was, the more powerless she felt.
Before she met Gu Feixue, she felt like a walking corpse. But after meeting Gu Feixue, these words made her suddenly enlightened. These words opened another window for her, allowing her to stand on the shoulders of giants and see another world.
"Why not? Where there's a will, there's a way. You have to encourage yourself and stop being so timid."
"Yes, yes," she suddenly realized, tears streaming down her face, a feeling different from sadness. She decided to change herself, to reshape herself. "I'm going to do this."
Gu Feixue finally nodded. "This is easier said than done. How can you cross mountains and rivers with your body? You still need systematic training for a whole year, otherwise you will die on the journey. Besides, the journey will require money, a lot of it."
"I'll find time to talk to you about these things." Zhang Xueyue nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Zhang Xueyue like this, Gu Feixue knew that she had convinced her.
The carriage moved forward steadily. Zhang Xueyue lifted the curtain and pointed into the distance.
Gu Feixue saw the city wall and said, "Xue'er, that's the town."
They were finally arriving. She hadn't ridden in a carriage for a long time, and the bumpy ride made her heart race.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Gu Feixue was stunned. What was going on?
At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers appeared outside the carriage. The two leading them were wearing indestructible silver chain mail, and their bodies made clanking sounds as they walked. Both of them held spears in their hands.
