Soul echo

Chapter 631 Yan Family Village

"Sister, may I ask, do you know of any famous blacksmith shops in the city?"

The passers-by who were stopped by Lilian were a little impatient at first, but after hearing Lilian's words, they couldn't suppress their smiles, "The little girl has such a sweet mouth, I'm already 44, how can I be your sister... But I do know a few about blacksmith shops."

With that said, the woman pointed out several directions to Lilian.

"Well, there are two on the east side, and one on the south side. If you really count, you can go south and you will see a village after you get out of the city. Most of the people in that village are blacksmiths. The blacksmiths in the city are either simply blacksmiths. Either a member of that village, or their apprentice."

Lilian didn't expect that she would get the answer she wanted just by asking casually, and she immediately beamed with joy.

"Thank you sister!"

After saying that, Lilian waved goodbye to the woman, and planned to go to the village in the south to find out.

There were a lot of people on the street, so Lilian took off the straight knife on her back and held it in her arms.

This is the first independent action task assigned to her by the teacher. Even if the luggage is lost, the blue bird cannot be lost, and must be returned to the clan of the craftsman.

After leading the horse and walking in the crowd for a while, Lilian suddenly grabbed another person's wrist with her backhand, looked down, and then put her gaze on that person's face.

The man smiled awkwardly, turned his palms, and took out Lilian's purse.

But Lilian looked at him and shook her head seriously.

The thief sighed helplessly, walked back along the road, put the stolen property back, then fisted Lilian far away, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

——No wonder among Chinese people, 'Jianghu' is a romantic term!

This experience made Lilian feel quite novel. Her native language is not Chinese, and she doesn't know much about the word "Jianghu". Before, she couldn't quite understand why many Chinese people thought it was a romantic word.

But now, she finally has some understanding of it.

Rivers and lakes can be turbid or clear, sometimes clear can become turbid, and turbid can also become clear, but whether it is turbid or clear, there are many fish and shrimps living in it.

Some fish and shrimp live in clear water. Once the water source becomes turbid, they will die soon, but some fish and shrimp can adapt to such an environment and survive.

Perhaps, this is the 'river and lake'.

There are many interesting and delicious things in Wuling City. Since she was going to pass through the city, Lilian simply started to stroll while walking.

During the period, she did not forget to buy a basket of feed for her horse, and then carried that basket of feed on her back. As long as the horse kept walking with her, she could eat.

Holding a sugar painting in one hand, a bag of candied fruit in the other, a straight knife hanging on her chest, and a big basket on her back, Lilian looked very strange to others.

Lilian doesn't care so much, as long as she is happy.

In this way, after she passed through the entire Wuling, many things appeared on her body.

There are some well-made small jewelry, and some toys that she has never played with. When the jewelry is worn on her body, the toys are put in the backpack, and she will play with it when she has time.

When Lilian left the city, it was already very close to dusk. Although the sky was still bright, the gatekeeper couldn't help reminding her.

"Don't worry, I'm very good!" Lilian patted her chest and smiled, then waved to the gatekeeper who kindly reminded her, and led the horse away from Wuling.

But after a few steps, she turned around again.

Because she only knew that the village was in the south of Wuling, but she didn't know the exact direction.

The gatekeeper pointed out the direction for her, and Lilian thanked her repeatedly, looked at the scenery and direction in the distance, wrote them down, and then set off again.

From the words of the gatekeeper, Lilian knew the name of the village——Yanjiazhuang, and 'Yan' was the common surname of that village.

The village is located in the south of Wuling. Walking along the national road for about half an hour, you will see a fork in the road, which is the road leading to Yanjiazhuang.

Because the journey was a bit long, Lilian rode on the horse and let the horse carry her forward, while she herself played with the little toys she bought earlier on the horse's back.

After walking for more than an hour, Lilian finally saw a fork in the road.

The forked road looked similar to the national road, and it was also paved with concrete. If the doorman hadn't said that it was leading to Yanjiazhuang, Lilian would have thought it was the national road!
After walking for about ten minutes from the fork in the road, there was a sudden breeze blowing over her face, and Lilian smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.

This fragrance is not strong and smoky, but has an elegant and pure feeling. After people smell it, they will not react immediately, but after a while, they will realize that it is a floral fragrance.

Smelling this fragrance, the horse snorted, but its steps became a little lighter.

Go back dozens of steps, and suddenly come across a peach blossom forest.

Those pure and elegant pink and white flowers suddenly hit her eyes, and Lilian's pupils dilated accordingly.

"……Wow."

The evening wind blows the flowers slowly, the peach blossoms tremble slightly on the branches, the rustling sound crosses the forest, and the fragrance of the peach blossoms floats into her nose.

Lilian's nose fluttered, and she subconsciously pulled the rein to slow the horse down.

The camera rotates with her gaze, bringing this beautiful scenery into the eyes of the audience.

The audience screamed and were also attracted by the beautiful scenery.

However, they didn't experience Lilian's feelings personally, so they couldn't understand her shock.

The reason why the scenery is called "scenery" is not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because the sound and smell of the surrounding environment will be blown into the mind of the viewer along with the wind.

A truly beautiful scenery is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a feast for the senses of hearing and smell.

This feeling cannot be felt through the Internet, but needs to be experienced in person.

Lilian had never been able to understand why some people like to travel and watch all kinds of scenery. Now, she understands a little bit...

Peach trees are planted on both sides of the concrete road, nature and civilization are integrated into one without being obtrusive.

After walking for a while, Lilian recovered from the shock of the peach blossom forest and looked forward.

Immediately, she was refreshed.

There is a village not far ahead. It is dinner time now, and the smoke is wafting from the village.

"drive!"

With excitement, Lilian waved the reins, causing the horse under her to speed up.

At this time, another gust of wind came and rolled up the crumbling peach blossoms.

Lilian raised her head, and she could see countless peach blossoms swaying in the wind and sprinkled towards the sky.

When the strong wind goes away, the flying petals will slowly fall, like a misty drizzle.

Although the sunset is still red at this time, the scenery of those petals falling is still refreshing.

The audience in the live broadcast room kept clicking the screenshot button, and they didn't even have time to send the barrage, because it was so beautiful that almost every frame was a beautiful color that could become a desktop background.

Afterwards, Lilian came to the entrance of the village.

The gate of the village was open, and when Lilian came here, a few men just came back with hoes on their shoulders.

Lilian's eyes lit up, and she greeted several people excitedly: "Brothers, let me ask, is this Yanjiazhuang?"

"Yes, what are you doing here, little girl?"

After getting this answer, Lilian jumped off the horse with a smile and took out the straight knife.

"I heard that the entire Yanjiazhuang family is a very powerful blacksmith, so I want to ask you, do you have any ancestors who went to the West Land hundreds of years ago, but did not come back?"

Lilian's question aroused a little curiosity in the hearts of the men, because Lilian didn't look like a native of the East, but more like someone from the Western Regions.

But besides people from the Western Regions, there is another kind of people who have similar features, that is, people from the Western Regions.

A person from the Westland asked them the question of 'Ancestors who have been to the Westland but never came back'. In other words, the purpose of her coming here is related to their ancestors?

"We don't know that very well."

Among them, the older man glanced at the straight knife in Lilian's arms and said, "But we can ask the elders for instructions, maybe they know something."

Lilian was overjoyed when she heard this, and bowed to them holding the straight knife.

"Thank you!"

Afterwards, Lilian followed a few men into Yan's Village.
