Chapter 397
The Lingshan Mountains are thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide, separated by two roads, with high mountains and deep forests, and the terrain is dangerous.

Beasts run rampant in the mountains, foreign objects appear, there is also swamp miasma, and cliffs.

Even some mountain people who live in the mountains all year round live on the outskirts of the mountains and dare not go deep.

Only the herb pickers, hunters, etc. who rely on the mountains to live on the mountains will choose to go deep into the mountains, and then after many years, they have created a series of mountain roads that run through the north and south, and established temporary footholds in the mountains.

As time went by, the business needs of Lingnan and Lingbei became more and more, and these mountain roads began to work, and then gradually reduced the complexity, leaving some easy-to-walk mountain roads, and finally formed an official road running through the north and south. And some easy trails.

And the mountain road that Lu Zheng walked with the Luo Jin caravan this time is such a small road.

"We walked relatively close on the first day, and stopped at a hunter's foothold." Luo Jin introduced, "The second day is an inn."

"Inn?" Lu Zheng was very surprised, "Is there an inn on this road?"

"Hahaha!"

I knew that Lu Zheng would be surprised, and without waiting for Luo Jin to answer, the man surnamed Zhang said, "The place where the inn is located is only two hills away from the official road, and there is a village of mountain people nearby, and there is a man's house here He opened an inn, his own 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 on the official road, and we also have one underneath."

"Okay." Lu Zheng expressed his understanding.

"The road on the third day is the worst. There is only one cave where you can rest your feet at night, but if you travel fast, you can go out of the mountain on the fourth night." The man surnamed Zhang said, "The road is difficult to walk at night, and most people still I will deal with it in the mountains for one night, and leave the mountain at noon on the fifth day."

"This is already 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 walk out in five days, but it was not easy at all.

……

The mountain pass and the official road on their way into the mountain forked for a mile, entered the mountain from the middle of the mountain, and entered the mountain along a path overgrown with weeds.

One guard is leading the way, one guard is behind the formation, and two guards are on guard in the middle, ready to support at any time.

Luo Jin followed the convoy, and the other seven drivers pushed the wheelbarrow quickly, and drove all the way on the mountain road without stumbling.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were at the rear of the convoy, not far from the man surnamed Zhang holding the line. The road in front of them was opened, so they walked relatively smoothly.

"Not bad!" The man surnamed Zhang gave a thumbs up and praised, "I'm not lying, I'm really used to walking on mountain roads!"

Then he looked at Lu Zheng, "You too, you look like an ordinary scholar, unexpectedly you are quite amazing."

"You are polite." Lu Zheng smiled, and then glanced at Luo Jin in front of him, "We will follow you, can you get more money?"

"What a fart, we get paid by the head, at least ten heads for a trip." The man surnamed Zhang said, "Lao Luo only has eight people, so I said wait at the mountain pass to see if I can meet him." Take the two people who are anxious to cross the mountain, don't you just bump into each other?"

"No wonder it's called Luo Laogou." Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and chuckled.

……

Everyone entered the mountain at noon and walked through the mountain all afternoon.

On the first day, it was close to the outside of the mountain, the road was easy to walk, and everyone walked quickly. They walked nearly [-] miles in one afternoon.

In the evening, after crossing a narrow stream and walking for another mile, I found a wooden house in a clearing near a cliff.

"Here's the place, take a break, start a fire and cook, and then go to bed early!"

The coachmen piled their wheelbarrows not far from the door of the wooden house, and then gathered dry firewood not far from the surrounding area, preparing to light a fire.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan walked into the wooden house hand in hand and took a look around.

Sure enough, it was Orion's temporary foothold.

Although the room is not small, there are not many things in it.

A bed of hay, a jug of clear water, some dried bacon hanging on the wall, some dry firewood piled up in the house, and a pile of extinguished campfires.

"It's fine today, so we don't need other people's dry firewood, we can just pick some up ourselves." Luo Jin followed up and said, "When it's evening, we will light a fire in the house, and the two of you will deal with it on the hay bed." How's the night?"

"what about you?"

"We also brought a tent, just stay outside." Luo Jin smiled.

"Then we won't be polite." Lu Zheng nodded, he didn't spend the money in vain.

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk!" Luo Jin said, "I asked the guy to make soup, the two of you can come together."

"Thank you, but no need, we brought our own food." Lu Zheng said.

He and Liu Qingyan came to visit the mountains and rivers all the way, and they both have cultivation bases, so they can just spend the night as an experience of life, and they don't care, but they can't wrong themselves when it comes to eating.

Stuffed green plums, roast chicken, pancakes, and apples and oranges after dinner.

Get it!

……

"Ouch-"

"Chirp—"

In the middle of the night, the sound of howling wolves and eagles could be heard in the distance.

Inside and outside the house, two piles of bonfires were burning, and the four guards alternated two by two to watch the night. Lu Zheng also 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 packed up and were ready to go.

"Mr. Lu, did you rest well last night? We still have three days to go."

"Well, it's okay, I slept well." Lu Zheng nodded, "Shall we set off now?"

Lu Zheng looked at the sky, it was only getting brighter.

"Hurry up early so that you can reach the inn at night and have more time to rest." Luo Jin said, "Today's journey is not short."

Lu Zheng nodded, seeing that Luo Jin's caravan was about to set off, he brought Liu Qingyan along with him.

This way, the Luo Jin caravan was on their way, and they only ate dry food at noon.

The four men surnamed Zhang carefully guarded them all the way, killed three big snakes, chased away a bobcat, avoided a group of wild boars, and captured a pair of golden pheasants and a hare.

As for Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan...

Picking [-] kinds of wild flowers, seeing seven beautiful places in the distance, watching five strange rocks, visiting two waterfalls and springs, and even washed your feet in a clear mountain stream.

At this time, even the most stupid people can find out the abnormality of Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan.

After walking for a day, everyone was exhausted and panting, but they were still calm and did not sweat a drop.

Could it be... an alien?
Of course, if Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan didn't say anything, Luo Jin and the man surnamed Zhang would not point it out, but they were more respectful when facing them.

Along the way to the south, everyone also encountered four small caravans coming from the north, all of them were pushing wheelbarrows, with as many as 20 people and as few as seven or eight people.

From this point of view, Luo Jin is indeed a small caravan, doing small business.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan chatted about these small caravans with great interest, what kind of business they can do to make money, and they also talked about the scenery along the way, traveling in the mountains and rivers, which was a great joy.

It was getting dark early in the mountains, and it was already dark at the end of Shen Shimo. Everyone hurried and finally arrived at the inn.

"The inn is here!" Luo Jin said, pointing to a three-story building in front of him.

Lu Zheng looked at the gloomy inn in front of him, and couldn't help being dumbfounded, "You want to live here?"
