The Lingshan Mountains are thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide, separated by two roads.
There are wild beasts in the mountains, foreign objects appear, and there are swamp miasmas and cliffs.
Even some mountain people who live in the mountains all year round live on the periphery of the mountains and dare not go deep.
Only the herb collectors, hunters, etc., who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, will have the choice to go deep into the mountains, and then, over the years, they will traverse the mountain roads that run through the north and the south, and establish temporary footholds in the mountains.
With the passage of time, the business needs of Lingnan and Lingbei increased, and these mountain roads began to work, and then gradually became simpler and simpler, leaving some easy mountain roads, and finally formed an official road that runs through the north and the south. and some well-traveled trails.
The mountain road that Lu Zheng took with the Luo Jin caravan this time was just such a small road.
"We walked relatively close on the first day, and stopped at a place where the hunters stayed." Luo Jin introduced, "The second day was an inn."
"Inn?" Lu Zheng was very surprised, "Is there an inn on this road?"
"Hahaha!"
Knowing that Lu Zheng would be surprised, and without waiting for Luo Jin to answer, the man surnamed Zhang said, "The distance between the inn and the official road is only two hills away, and there is a mountain village nearby, and there is a man's home here. Opened an inn, a unique business, and made a lot of money!"
Luo Jin nodded, "The intersection of this road and the official road is a mountain stream. There is a suspension bridge above the official road, and we also have one below."
"Okay." Lu Zheng expressed his understanding.
"The road on the third day is the worst. There is only one cave at night where you can rest, but if you walk fast, you can leave the mountain on the fourth night." The man surnamed Zhang said, "It is difficult to walk overnight, and most people still I will deal with one night in the mountains, and I will go out at noon on the fifth day."
"This is the nearest mountain road, and there are almost no detours." Luo Jin said.
"Indeed." Lu Zheng nodded. He also passed through Lingshan Mountain. Of course, he knew the thickness of this mountain range. He could go out in five days, but it was not easy at all.
...
The mountain pass and the official road crossed for a mile on their way into the mountain. They entered the mountain from halfway up the mountain and entered the mountain along a weedy path.
One **** leads the way in front, one escorts in the back, and two guards stand guard in the middle, ready to support.
Luo Jin followed the convoy, and the other seven drivers pushed the unicycle very fast, all the way on the mountain road, without stumbling.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were at the back of the convoy, not far from the man surnamed Zhang who was in the queue, and the road in front was opened, so they walked relatively smoothly.
"Not bad!" The man surnamed Zhang gave a thumbs up and praised, "I didn't lie, I'm really used to walking on mountain roads!"
Then he looked at Lu Zheng, "You too, you seem to be an ordinary scholar, and you can't imagine it is quite powerful."
"You're welcome." Lu Zheng smiled, then glanced at Luo Jin in front, "We'll follow you, can you take more money?"
"Take more shit, we take money by the head, at least ten heads per trip." The man surnamed Zhang said, "There are only eight people in Lao Luo, so I said to wait at the mountain pass and see if we can meet him. Bring the two people who are in a hurry to cross the mountain, don't you just collide?"
"No wonder it's called Luo Laoqi." Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and chuckled.
...
Everyone entered the mountain at noon and walked through the mountain all afternoon.
On the first day, near the outside of the mountain, the road was easy to walk, and everyone walked fast, and they walked nearly thirty miles in one afternoon.
As evening approached, after crossing a narrow stream and walking for another mile, I found a wooden house in an open space near a cliff.
"Go to the place, take a rest, make a fire to cook, and then rest early!"
The coachmen piled up the wheelbarrows not far from the door of the wooden house, and then they picked up dry wood not far from the surrounding area and prepared to make a fire.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan walked into the wooden house hand in hand and took a look around.
Sure enough, it is the temporary foothold of Orion.
Although the house is not small, there are not many things inside.
A bed of hay, a jar of clean water, a few dried bacon hanging on the wall, some dry wood piled in the house, and a pile of extinguished bonfires.
"It's sunny today, we don't need other people's dry wood, we can just pick up some ourselves." Luo Jin followed up and said, "When it's night, let's make a fire in the house, and the two will deal with each other on the hay bed. How's your evening?"
"what about you?"
"We also brought a tent, just stay outside." Luo Jin smiled.
"Then we're welcome." Lu Zheng nodded, his two money was not in vain.
"It's easy to talk about it!" Luo Jin said, "I let the guy cook the soup, let's come together."
"Thank you, but no need, we brought our own food." Lu Zheng said.
He and Liu Qingyan came to travel all the way to the mountains and waters, and they all had their cultivation bases in their bodies. If they made do with the night, they would experience life, and they didn't care, but they couldn't feel wronged when it came to eating.
Green plum stuffing, roast chicken, biscuits, and apples and oranges after dinner.
Get it!
...
"Ouch-"
"Chirp—"
In the middle of the night, the sound of howling eagles in the distance can be heard incessantly.
Inside and outside the house, two bonfires were burning, and the four guards replaced the vigils in pairs. Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan chatted with the man surnamed Zhang outside the house for a while, and then went back to the house to rest.
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, Lu Zheng stretched out and found that Luo Jin and his party had already packed up and were ready to go.
"Master Lu, did you rest well last night? We still have three days to go."
"Well, it's okay, I slept well." Lu Zheng nodded, "Let's go now?"
Lu Zheng looked at the sky, and it was bright.
"Hurry up as early as possible so that you can arrive at the inn at night and have more time to rest." Luo Jin said, "Today's trip is not short."
Lu Zheng nodded, and seeing that the Luo Jin caravan was about to set off, he followed along with Liu Qingyan.
This way, the Luojin caravan was on their way, and they just ate dry food at noon.
The four men surnamed Zhang were careful guards along the way. On the way, they chopped down three large snakes, drove away a lynx, avoided a group of wild boars, and hunted a pair of golden pheasants and a hare.
And what about Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan...
Picked twelve kinds of wildflowers, watched seven beautiful places from afar, watched five strange stones, visited two waterfalls and mountain springs, and washed my feet in a clear mountain stream.
At this time, even the most stupid people found out that Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were abnormal.
After a day of walking, everyone was tired and out of breath They were still calm, not even a drop of sweat.
Could it be... an alien?
Of course, if Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan didn't talk about it, Luo Jin and Zhang surnamed man would not point it out, but they were more respectful in the face of them.
All the way to the south, everyone also encountered four small caravans coming from the north, all of which were pushing wheelbarrows, with as many as twenty people, as few as seven or eight people.
From this point of view, Luo Jin is indeed a small caravan, doing a small business.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan chatted about these small caravans with great interest, about what business they did to make money, and about the scenery along the way, and they were very happy.
It was dark in the mountains early, and it was already dark at the end of Shen Shimo. Everyone hurriedly rushed and finally arrived at the inn.
"The inn is here!" Luo Jin said, pointing to a three-story building ahead.
Lu Zheng looked at the gloomy inn in front of him and couldn't help stunned, "You want to live here?"
