Everyone on the boat could see that Huo Nian had become silent and more and more calm, like a young adult, but he had also lost some of his liveliness.
Aunt Ma felt that Huo Xi was a little unruly, but she didn't interfere. She always felt distressed when she saw Huo Nian in a daze.
"Master, it's time for you to do your homework. Didn't Mr. Qin assign a lot of homework?" He persuaded me softly. This was still a child.
Huo Nian came back to his senses: "Okay, I'm going to do my homework."
Mother Ma looked pleased. She walked over and dusted his clothes, "When you get tired from doing homework, you can rest your eyes and come out to practice boxing and kicking with Zhufeng Tayue, okay?"
"Mommy, Nian'er understands." She responded obediently and went into the cabin to do her homework.
Mother Ma watched him get into the cabin, feeling happy and sad at the same time. She sighed, turned around and entered the cabin. The girl was afraid that she would be going back to the Marquis Mansion soon, and she wanted to have a good talk with her about this wealthy family.
According to the rules of the world, a girl cannot be looked down upon.
The two siblings stayed on the boat and did their homework. They didn't find the life boring at all.
Every time the boat stops at a pier, everyone will go to the shore to stretch their hands and feet, and stroll around on the shore. They buy some local products, bargain with small merchants and hawkers, and see and listen to the local folk customs.
Gossip.
When I see good scenery, I occasionally visit the city.
When we arrived in Jiangxi, we entered Poyang Lake from the Yangtze River and visited Poyang Lake. After seeing the magnificence of Poyang Lake, we climbed Mount Lushan again.
Everyone was very excited. In this era of inconvenient transportation, it was rare for everyone to go out. Maybe this was the only time in their lives, so naturally they wanted to take a good look.
Huo Nian finally showed some childishness after having been bored for many days. When Huo Xi's legs and feet were weak from crawling and she was gasping for breath, he was still very strong and crawled in front to laugh at her.
The little boy has been studying for several years, and he can naturally recite Lushan Mountain, which was praised in the poems of his predecessors.
While climbing, I couldn't help but recite a few poems.
"Sister, it's exactly the same as what was said in the poem! I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I just live in this mountain! Everything in the book is true." There was joy in her words.
This Lushan Mountain is surrounded by peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, and has waterfalls like waterfalls. Everyone was stunned to see it.
I found an inn at the foot of Mount Lushan and stayed there for three days. I saw every beautiful sight in Mount Lushan. Vanilla, Xiahe, and even Grandma Ma were more energetic than Huo Xi. She didn’t even feel tired after climbing the mountain. I wished I could stay a few more days.
.
Bao Kang was very strong, and he didn't even complain about being tired. Even though Nian'er was tired from climbing, he was still carrying Nian'er as he walked swiftly. Chasing the wind and the moon, it was rare to have the leisure and leisure to look at the scenery like this, and he was in a happy mood.
.
Also in a happy mood was Kan San Kun Si who was following in the dark.
Watching Huo Xi and the others walking around, playing, eating and drinking on the mountain, I wished I could show up and follow them.
But being able to follow them all the way and see enough of the scenery is worth it. The young master should be envious of them.
After seeing enough of the beautiful scenery of Jiangxi, the boat continued upstream along the Yangtze River.
Go to Wuhan and climb the Yellow Crane Tower, overlooking the rolling waves of the Yangtze River, and look for the footprints of the immortals riding the Yellow Crane back... Go to Yueyang, climb the Yueyang Tower, overlook the 800-mile Dongting Lake, look at Junshan Mountain in the distance, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the water and the sky, the wind and the moon.
Then continue upstream by boat, cross the border of Hunan, and reach Sichuan.
All the way up, from the Yangtze River to the Jialing River, the boat continued sailing and arrived at Yilong County. After making an appointment with the boat owner to pick them up, everyone took the horses and carriages to the shore and prepared to abandon the ship and change cars.
With their feet on the ground, the siblings looked around, feeling a little confused, a little expectant, and a little anxious.
Grandfather's letter said that the whole family was doing well, which reassured Huo Xi. But the land of Sichuan and Sichuan was full of mountains and miasma, and it was unclear whether they were safe or not. Trapped in these mountains, Grandfather had learned to be afraid.
There is nowhere to show it.
Huo Xi wanted to see them but was afraid of seeing them.
It is said that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is not said casually. I thought that after staying on the ship for more than a month, now that I got off the carriage, it would take at least half a month to reach Shangyong. Who would have thought that the map would reach this place?
It will have no effect.
Not to mention the twists and turns, the mountain roads are also full of thorns and thorns, and you can't even find the road.
Not to mention, there were also quite a few bandits who blocked the road and robbed them. Fortunately, Zhufeng and Tayue were really good at it, and with the help of Kan Sankunsi secretly, there were no dangers along the way.
Bao Kang had practiced martial arts with him for a long time, and now he was very excited to have the opportunity to compete in close combat. Even Huo Nian followed Zhufeng and gained a lot of practical experience.
Seeing that although there were many bandits, their moves were all fancy, Huo Xi felt relieved and Huo Nian followed them to practice.
That kid might really be a born warrior. He was scared at first and didn't dare to take action. But after only one encounter, the militant factor in him was aroused, and he was able to remain calm when fighting against bandits.
Feel at ease.
Huo Xi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Unable to find the road, I saw villages belching out smoke, so I went into the village and asked questions. Everywhere I went, I asked local people to guide me. After stumbling like this, I finally arrived at Shangyong County two months after leaving Beijing.
Shangyong County has been the place where the imperial court exiled prisoners since the Qin and Han Dynasties. The mountains here are high and the forests are deep. If you want to run out, you may not be able to find a way out. There are many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the dense forest. If you can escape, it will just be a meal for the beasts.
Walking all the way to Shangyong County, we see desolation every day. After walking for a whole day, we can't see a single person, only the sound of carriages, which makes people panic.
There is not even a intact city wall in Shangyong County. The half-broken earth wall is drooping, and you can jump over it with one jump. The city gate is also very dilapidated, but there are still two soldiers holding long guns at the door to check people entering the city.
Seeing such energetic horses carrying a finely crafted carriage, the two soldiers were very energetic.
His eyes were burning, his back straightened, and he stared curiously. When the carriage came close, he crossed his spear and stopped it: "Where are you coming from, and where are you going?"
Zhufeng got out of the car and gave it to the two soldiers guarding the gate. Each of them stuffed a purse. The two of them squeezed it and put it into their arms with satisfaction. Then they looked at the road guide that Zhufeng handed over.
"Come from the capital?" What are you doing in this crappy place like theirs? It's such a long way.
The two soldiers looked at the road signs and looked toward the carriage curiously.
In the carriage, Mother Ma lifted the curtain so that they could see clearly who was sitting in the carriage.
The two soldiers saw the person clearly, checked with Lu Yin, and didn't make anything difficult. He had Lu Yin, and he gave him so many benefits. Moreover, he came from the capital, so he might be a noble person, so he couldn't afford to offend him. He smiled and said
People were released into the city.
A soldier followed with his eyes: "Why do you think they came to our area? There are so many people, just look at the family."
"You don't care." Another soldier happily took out his wallet and counted the silver.
People from the capital, what else could they do in this place? Many of the people imprisoned here were once high-status people. Who doesn’t have an old in-law?
This is worth several months of his wages. It would be great if there were a few more noble people coming every day.
