Ka Xiu pushed the door open and walked in ten minutes later.
He opened the door and walked out, standing in silence for a while in the spacious passage. Did Teacher Lisha have any illness?
Let’s ask more details when we get back from Li Wei’s hometown...
**********************
Early the next morning, Kaxiu packed his luggage and went down the mountain.
Oak City, where the Wind Elephant Sect headquarters is located, is not far from Levi's hometown, Black Sand City, about a hundred kilometers away.
Of course, one hundred kilometers in this era is definitely not comparable to the real world. Not only are there no goldfish mouth cars on the streets, even the train tracks are not laid out in large quantities.
It is basically impossible to take a passenger train.
However, the passenger transporter cannot sit on it, but it can be used as a cargo transporter.
The name of Oak City is already obvious. It is rich in lumber, so several train lines are actually laid.
But most of them are simply used to transport goods.
The speed of steam trains in this era was very slow, and sometimes even a good horse could catch up with them. It is said that there was even a group of specialized horse bandits in the western desert of the Hongli Federation to rob trains.
With Ka Xiu's ability, he can run with all his strength, and he can catch up with the speed of a galloping horse in a short time. It is not difficult to pick up a train.
Or sneak into the train station and wait for the opportunity to board.
This may be a bit difficult for normal people, but for a secret warrior like Ka Xiu whose body has been trained in secret arts, it is not something worth bothering with. It is as simple as eating and drinking.
Of course, the premise is to find the right train. Otherwise, if you roll over and take a nap, you will have already left Beiliu County when you wake up. Card Xiu also spent a lot of money in Oak City to get accurate information, but Fortunately, the news is absolutely correct.
Because this information was revealed by insiders. As for where the money came from, of course it was my good junior brother Damo.
But something strange was that Damo seemed to pay the money very readily. Especially after hearing that Ka Xiu was going back to his hometown for a while, he happily paid Ka Xiu's expenses.
On this day, the sky was cloudless and bright blue. The grass undulated like a green carpet following the curvature of the hillside.
A river meanders from east to west, dividing a small half of the plain. From top to bottom, it looks like a silvery, reflective and elegant ribbon, extending deep into the woods.
Woo...
Thick black smoke billowed into the sky.
In the smoke, a coal-burning steam train clanked on the rails, like a long black snake climbing.
When the train passed by a small hill.
A vigorous figure suddenly rushed over, running like a cheetah. Finally, he jumped up with a slight leap.
The whole movement is as light and silky as milk.
"Coming up."
Card repair is now on a metal platform, not the roof of the train, but a platform slightly protruding from the back of the carriage.
It's not big, but it can still accommodate one person.
Putting the package aside, he lowered his head and glanced at the black rails that were moving backwards, then turned and glanced both sides.
Large areas of green and blue are like oil paintings by an artist, the paint is smudged together when it meets the water. The blue sky and green land blend into each other, and occasionally there are lonely trees that keep crossing.
Card Xiu thought this experience was quite novel, so he sat down cross-legged and took out his unfinished lunch from the package.
After lunch, he started practicing again.
To be honest, the trains of this era are like no other, but have a strong sense of rhythm. Every time they pass a section of railway track, they vibrate.
The bouncing back and forth and the noise greatly affect the efficiency.
But there was nothing I could do about it. Ka Xiu still had some concerns about wasting four or five days and wasting twenty-odd days.
In this day and age, one hundred kilometers is an exaggeration. Taking the train can actually save a lot of distance.
At night, Kaxiu was lying on the platform. He used the parcel as a pillow to cushion his neck, and just looked at the sky quietly.
There is no bedding in the entire night sky, only a layer of faint and blurry clouds, and hidden behind the clouds is the mysterious moon.
There are no stars, only a few lonely stars scattered here and there, trying their best to shine. They are like lonely broken marbles that have been discarded, and there is an inexplicable feeling of mist.
Ka Xiu opened his palms to block his eyes, like a child looking at the night divided into pieces through the gaps between his fingertips.
His eyes were a little out of focus, with a hint of confusion.
Sad for spring and sad for autumn? Maybe so, but who has never been confused, especially in such a lonely situation.
Amidst the beating of trains one by one, Kaxiu gradually fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark.
A pale yellow morning glow slowly rises in the clouds on the horizon.
The air was a bit cold in the morning, but Kaxiu was strong enough to hold on. As the sun rose, the temperature gradually rose.
At noon, the train passed through a plain again.
Ka Xiu jumped down suddenly with the package in hand, rolled on the ground two or three times and stood up in disgrace. He looked at the black train that was speeding away, and then walked all the way along the railway track.
After several hours of trekking, Ka Xiu saw Heisha City in the distance. Instead of walking into the city, he followed Levi's vague memories and walked towards the eastern suburbs.
On the way, Kaxiu met an ox cart going to Jianmu Town. Then he paid a small amount of money and took a ride.
The ox cart shook, but the grass pile on the wooden cart was very soft. And because of the hot weather and strong sun, the grass was so dry and fluffy that the whole person would sink.
Ka Xiu raised his head and lay on it, feeling very comfortable.
Just like this, the ox cart swayed through this uneven stone road and gradually entered a dirt road in the woods. There was no shaking, and the shade of the trees blocked the sun. This comfortable feeling made Kaxiu cross his arms and feel small.
Took a nap.
After an unknown amount of time, the bearded old man driving the car in front said in a slightly accented voice: "Young man, we're here."
Kaxiu woke up with a jolt.
The oxcart was driving down a hillside along the dirt road. There were green grass on both sides, mixed with yellow and red plant flowers. A faint fragrance filled the tip of the nose.
Ahead, the outlines of human villages and towns can already be seen.
This is Jianmu Town, and Hualu Village is less than two kilometers away. Ka Xiu thanked him immediately and got out of the car.
According to the vague impression, he walked into a country road.
Ten minutes later, Kaxiu stopped and looked far away. The dilapidated wall of Hualu Village had already appeared in his field of vision. The base of the gray-white wall was covered with moss, and there were patches of ivy crawling on the wall.
Step by step, we walked into the village, which was a little strange but also a little familiar. The last time Levi returned to the village was a few years ago.
That time it was to repair my mother's cemetery.
"Don't run, stop, watch me, the knight, chop off your evil dragon's head!" A childish voice came from the side.
Two little kids who only reached Kaxiu's waist were chasing each other on the village road, fighting all the way. They were holding a straight, slender branch in their hands, as if they imagined it to be a knight's sword.
Ka Xiu picked up the package and moved aside to make way.
The two children just glanced at Ka Xiu, then re-immersed themselves in their roles, chasing him and disappearing into the distance.
Ka Xiu shook his head and walked according to the memory in his mind.
Five minutes later, there was a remote house on the side of the mountain in Hualu Village. It was low, dilapidated, and simple.
There is a wall surrounding the outside, but one side has collapsed.
Ka Xiu walked in silently, perhaps because he saw familiar things. Levi's vague memory gradually became clear, where were the farm tools, where were the tables and chairs, where were they eating, where were they sleeping, and playing with his sister.
Where.
This room holds most of Levi's memories for the past thirteen years, from childhood to adolescence. Everything in front of him is still as in memory, but the three familiar people are gone.
Ka Xiu opened the door and walked in. The house was already covered with spider webs and there was a lot of dust on the ground. Some wooden furniture had even become moldy because no one was using it.
He put down the package and spent an hour cleaning the entire house, but did not change the placement of various furniture. Ka Xiu would not live here for a long time, so he left these furniture and this room as they were in his memory.
Let it rot slowly.
I took a look at the sky, it was about three o'clock now.
Kashu walked towards the Berna Mountain behind him.
