The road to Shu is difficult, but it is harder than climbing to the blue sky.
Chen Xuan is now standing on the disrepaired plank road in Xichuan.
This Shu Road crosses the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains, with high mountains and deep valleys, rugged roads and difficult to pass through.
Today, most of the Shu Road has been officially applied for the Heritage and listed as a cultural heritage.
But there are still a small number of ancient roads that are rarely visited, retaining the purest natural state.
Chen Xuan discovered this remote Shu Road because he went deep into the mountains of Xishu.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was surrounded by mountains and steep mountains. At first glance, the mountains were majestic and vast, showing the vast landscape of China.
As for the difficulty of Shu Road, even Chen Xuan, who is far superior to ordinary people, has to be careful when walking on the road, for fear that he will accidentally slide into the valley and fall to pieces.
But even in such a rugged and steep Shu Road, besides Chen Xuan, there are other people walking.
And she is also a pretty girl.
Chen Xuan saw the first person he met in more than 20 days and ran towards him from the opposite side.
"Hmm?" Seeing the girl panicked and seemed to run away, Chen Xuan was quite surprised. Did the girl meet a ferocious beast?
"Brother, save me! Save"
When the girl saw Chen Xuan, she immediately asked for help, but when she saw Chen Xuan's appearance, she couldn't say anything else afterwards.
Because Chen Xuan has been sleeping in the open for the past twenty days and is exposed to the wind and rain, he looks a little sloppy.
His whole body was empty, with only one set of clothes, which could only be taken off and washed before resting and going to bed, and then put on after waking up. It was naturally impossible to clean.
Therefore, Chen Xuan will definitely not have any good impression in the eyes of others now.
What's more, I met Chen Xuan in the wilderness.
Most people either regard Chen Xuan as a homeless man or a fool, because no one dares to bring drinking water, dry food, clothes, etc. like Chen Xuan, and enter the Qinling Mountains empty-handed.
Of course, some people will associate Chen Xuan's identity with the fugitive.
"Are you in any danger?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile when he saw the girl being a little scared of him.
Before leaving, Ji Wushuang told him that you must let the flow be natural during the journey, and even if you meet someone, you don’t need to deliberately avoid it.
Whether it is the wind and rain of nature or the human beings encountered, everything on the road is Chen Xuan's disaster.
So Chen Xuan took it naturally and accepted all the disasters he encountered. Since this girl appeared in front of him, it must be linked to his disasters, not meaningless.
But Chen Xuan asked very kindly, and the girl became more alert: "No, it's okay, please let me go, I want to go."
"Oh." Chen Xuan responded and moved away directly.
The girl didn't expect that Chen Xuan would agree so readily. She gritted her teeth and wanted to run past Chen Xuan quickly.
However, Shu Road is too rugged and narrow, and this small section is even more rugged and rocky, which is extremely difficult to walk, and it is impossible to accommodate two people walking side by side.
Although Chen Xuan hid sideways, the girl still touched his body when she ran to him. In addition, the road under the girl's feet was uneven, so she accidentally got knocked to her feet by a stone.
"Ouch!"
The girl's feet hurt, her body lost her balance, and she couldn't help but fall out. Outside the Shu Road was a bottomless valley!
This sprained the ankle so scared the girl. She knew that if she fell down, she would definitely die particularly miserably!
At this moment, one hand grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
It was Chen Xuan's move.
Chen Xuan was very strong, and the girl was still unable to maintain balance after being pulled up, so she could only fall into Chen Xuan's arms.
"Thank you..." The girl was still in shock, and with a blind date with Chen Xuan's skin, her face couldn't help but blush.
But she quickly stepped back because the smell on Chen Xuan was unacceptable.
Chen Xuan didn't care much, but the medicine basket on the girl's back was very interested.
A very strange fragrance of medicine came from the medicine basket, as if it contained some precious medicinal materials, but Chen Xuan couldn't guess it for a moment.
Seeing Chen Xuan staring at the medicine basket, the girl was a little scared again: "Brother, do you want to steal my medicinal materials too?"
"What do I want your medicinal materials?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help laughing.
Even if the girl's medicinal materials in her medicine basket are so expensive, she will not be interested now.
All the precious treasures between heaven and earth are just things outside of Chen Xuan on the way to avoid disaster.
Seeing that Chen Xuan was really not interested in medicinal materials at all, and that he had already taken action if he wanted to steal them. There was no third party in the mountains, so why bother pretending? The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, thank you for saving me just now. My name is Xiaolian. What do you call me?" the girl asked gratefully.
"My surname is Chen."
Chen Xuan's faint response made Xiaolian more curious about Chen Xuan's identity.
Because the homeless man or the fugitive is definitely not as good as Chen Xuan.
In the past twenty days, although Chen Xuan has not yet reached the realm that Ji Wushuang said, his demeanor has become more calm and natural, and he no longer has the appearance of a arrogant and boundless evil emperor, nor is he as brilliant and restrained as before.
But he is born like this and now, because Chen Xuan is looking for a new life.
"Brother Chen, I have a sprained ankle. Can you help me down the mountain? And it's best to be quicker, because someone is chasing me behind me!" Xiaolian didn't guess Chen Xuan's identity for the time being, because she had something more urgent.
To do it.
After hearing Xiaolian say this, Chen Xuan was slightly surprised: "Someone chases you?"
"Yes, Brother Chen, you should know that our Xichuan is a treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. Many people make a living by going to the mountains to collect herbs and are called medicinal farmers. I do this kind of work. Today I finally picked a Cordyceps sinensis tree.
I was targeted by a few greedy medicinal farmers. I chased me for a long time. I had no choice but to run to this dangerous ancient plank road. I was afraid that they would follow me, so let's run quickly!"
Xiaolian became more and more worried and anxious as she spoke. After saying that, she turned around and looked around.
Chen Xuan thought to himself that this girl was chased by someone, which seemed to be just an ordinary incident of a peasant robbing herbs, but it must be related to his disaster. He should not deliberately avoid it, but instead adapt to the disaster. Therefore, he decided to help the girl.
"Your foot is injured, I will carry you down the mountain." Chen Xuan said, squatting down with his back to Xiaolian, signaling her to climb up.
Xiaolian said embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, I think you have been in the mountain for many days. Do you still have the strength to carry me? How embarrassed is this, and it will be bad if you can't walk steadily and fall down the mountain road.
.”
"It's okay, come up." Chen Xuan said with his head turned, "This mountain road can only allow one person to walk. If I help you, it will be even more difficult to walk."
