Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 268 [In the grassland, with a home country in mind]

   Looking west from here, the field of vision is not very wide.

  The reaction time left for the caravan is not too much. Since there is enough time to set up the tent and prepare for the night, it is still early at night. This figure coming towards the sunset has attracted everyone's attention.

  Everyone quickly raised their vigilance. Several bodyguards had moved their weapons to a convenient position, and the guys also approached the goods. Only the one in charge of cooking was still stirring the food in the pot with a long spoon.

  The road in Daze is narrow and difficult to walk, and the speed of the opponent is not fast.

   After a while, this person came here after a ride. He was obviously a little surprised to see the crowds in this shelter. However, the other party's surprised expression was only for a moment, and only Fang Chang, who had excellent eyesight, noticed it.

  The other party is very young, travel-stained, gentle and polite like a scholar, but the feeling is different. He has a short beard, is dressed in ordinary clothes, leather shoes and wooden hairpins, and a silk belt around his waist, which is very mix-and-match style.

  Although he looked like a traveler, he didn't bring a weapon, only a jujube stick hanging on his horse.

  The mount is just a common bay red horse, and there is a small rattan bookcase hanging on the side.

  Seeing that the other party has no hostility, unlike a villain, the caravan relaxed a little.

  Then an older man who was good at dealing with outsiders went up to him and asked the person who had dismounted from his horse and was walking this way holding the rein: "May I ask who is that?"

The person who got off the horse gave a very standard return, and then said in a clear voice: "I am just passing by. I originally wanted to rest here for the night, but I didn't expect that there are already people here. If it is inconvenient, I will continue on my way." Just fine."

  The older guy who came up to talk to him was a little hesitant when he saw that the other party was so reasonable.

At this time, Xi Tong Guotou in the back suddenly got up, walked forward, exchanged salutes with the visitors, and said: "This mountain depression is not occupied by us, it is still spacious inside, and it is convenient for people traveling far away. Please come in." , there is a bonfire inside, and more people at night will be more safe."

   "Thank you." The person who came looked at the situation inside again, and said after confirming that it was safe, and then entered this simple camp according to the guidance of the caravan.

For Xi Guotou's decision, the caravan employees have no objection, because Xi Tong has always been more accurate in judging people, and when doing business in all directions, it is always important to make friends, and harmony can make money. It is difficult to do business that always offends people long. As for Fang Chang Sang Ziping and several bodyguards, they didn't care much about it because they had no interest relationship.

  The visitor walked to the campfire and sat down in a place that was out of the way. Seeing that the people around him were busy, he took out a book from his body to read.

  Fang Chang glanced twice, and saw that the other party had sword eyebrows and star eyes, but he had a good skin. And from the time when someone came here on horseback just now, Fang Chang noticed that the cloud above the other party's head was thick and treacherous, and he would do something in the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

   Seeing that the bodyguards around were very relaxed, Sang Ziping also found a place to wait silently. Fang Chang untied the gourd around his waist, raised his head and took a sip, and then walked towards the campfire.

  His target was the one who came.

   "Where did you come from?"

"Oh, I'm originally from Inoze." The young man saw Fang Chang approaching with a gourd and a long sword on his back, and politely replied: "I'm in Xiagongyezhu, this time I'm planning to go to the Central Plains. Coming here, this is the first time I saw a caravan staying here."

  Fang Chang nodded and said with a smile:

"I don't know much about this. I grew up below and was going to the Western Regions, so I entered this caravan on the way and made a companion with them. I have never walked this road before, let alone stopped in this mountain depression. "

  The setting sun has already met the horizon, and the orange-red sunset glow covers the sky.

   Another cavalry came from the west, and several bodyguards of the caravan became alert again, and moved their weapons to a position where they could be pulled out at any time.

  This time it was a woman, who was dressed in Tsing Yi and riding a yellow horse.

  When I came to the front of the col, I saw many people here, so the speed of the other party slowed down and the horses changed to a trot.

  The bodyguards relaxed a little, but Fang Chang didn't move. He had already heard the movement in the distance.

  The young woman who came over didn't wear makeup, but she was still bright and charming. Her eyes were very energetic and her figure was agile. When passing by the col, she looked inside carefully.

   As a result, she saw the bay red horse with the bookcase hanging by her side, and her eyes lit up suddenly.

   "Call—"

   After stopping, she turned over and jumped down, holding the rein and heading towards the caravan.

  The old man went forward and asked:

   "This girl, what's the matter?"

  The woman saluted slightly and said politely:

   "Hi uncle, I came here to find someone. I wanted to pass by here, but I didn't expect to find his horse, so I came here to look for it."

  During the conversation, Gong Yezhu by the campfire had already spotted the visitor, and got up to meet him:

   "Nan Nan, why are you here?"

   "Of course I was looking for you." The woman took two steps over, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

"I... didn't I leave a letter?" Gongyezhu hesitated, but his tone was full of tenderness, "I have to do some things, but I failed you. I don't know what the future looks like, let alone I know if I can return to this lake, so I can't delay you any longer. If you are lucky in the next life, please repay me."

  Fang Chang watched with relish from the sidelines. He never expected to encounter such a good show when he was resting in the mountain col with the caravan.

  The beautiful woman named Nan Nan became angry when she saw Gong Yezhu say this:

"I know that you, Gong Yezhu, have great ambitions, so naturally you can't keep you, but when we part, can you come and see me? Just leave a letter to say goodbye. Who knows if you dislike me and run away, or if you were deceived by some villain go!"

   Then her tone softened, and she sighed again:

   "I'm not the one blocking your path, I just hope you don't walk so neatly, take me with you, okay?"

  Gong Yezhu was obviously a little moved, but he quickly controlled it. He sighed and said:

"The world is becoming more and more restless, and it is not a safe thing to help the community. I don't know if I will be able to make a career this time, or bury my corpse in the wild grass. But what I have learned in these years is all Telling me I have to go."

"Without anyone stepping forward, the world will still return to Qingming, but in this process, the people of the world will only suffer more hardships. I only hope that I can let some people survive this trip, and I will live up to what I have learned. The road is lost, I can't take you with me, let alone give you any promises."

   "...forgive me." Finally he said in a very low voice.

  The woman named Nan Nan was silent for a long time, then opened her hands, gently embraced Gong Yezhu and let go, and said firmly:

   "No matter what, I'll wait for you."

   Then she was about to turn around and drive away, but was grabbed by Gong Yezhu: "It's dangerous to walk at night, why don't you rest here for the night."
