Traveling through the troubled world

Raising his hand and opening a corner of the curtain, a gust of cold wind blows in, making Zhang Wuan shiver.The carriage was about to enter a city, and many people outside the city were heading in the same direction as them.Some rode horses and some walked, some carried burdens and some carried poles. Most of them put their hands in their sleeves and hurried away.

The warmth of home is concerned about leaving early and returning late. After more than ten years in another world, what he cares most about is his relatives at home.In that world, he should be dead, right?And it was the kind that fell into the sea and couldn't even find the body.Fast forward more than ten years, has the family recovered from the grief of losing him?

Time is really a scary thing. During these years in another world, sometimes he even felt in a trance that everything in the previous life was a grotesque dream made by himself. He was reborn on a certain day, so he didn't even have a birthday.

It is rare to see heavy snow like now at home, rarely...

Zhang Wuan just stared at the snow outside in a daze, while Wan Tuo looked at Zhang Wuan quietly.

This person is really special. Sometimes he talks a lot, especially when he is arguing with others, and he can't stop at all, but sometimes, he suddenly becomes quiet as if there is no such person at all.

Just like now.He looked out of the window silently like this, and it seemed that there was another world hidden in those dark and deep eyes, a place that he would never be able to reach.

I don't know why, but the perception tells Wan Teng that Zhang Wu'an can't keep silent like this, otherwise the distance between them will get farther and farther.

"It's almost time to enter the city. It will be soon after passing this city. The next city is Xinyi. If you hurry, you can arrive today."

Wan Teng raised his voice, appearing bright in the carriage.Zhang Wuan lowered the curtain and turned his head, "I know, you don't need to be so loud."

Wan Cheng smiled, "I'm just so happy that it's finally here. Then you can find an inn to take a good rest. Your complexion is not very good. It should be because you are too tired from the long journey."

"Hey," Zhang Wu'an rested his chin in one hand, and said lazily, "I'm also very helpless. When it's cold, I look sick like this, but I like autumn and winter. I feel that I must have done too many good things in my previous life. A genius would punish me like this."

"Doing too many good things? Shouldn't it be a bad thing?" Wan Cheng thought Zhang Wu'an had made a mistake.

"No, it's a good thing. This is for me to have a long memory. I can't be too good a person, otherwise I may die without a place to bury my life. Even if I have a lot of luck and reincarnate, I may suffer from some kind of illness."

Obviously it should be nonsense, but Wan Teng feels that Zhang Wu'an seems to have really experienced these things.That kind of seemingly random sadness makes people feel tight in the chest.

Changed horses once in the city, and finally arrived in Xinyi near the evening.Chu Yuan had already come back one step ahead, waiting for Wan Qi and Zhang Wu'an in Xinyi.

The two did not go directly to Chu Yuan's restaurant, but found another inn to stay in. Before seeing Chu Yuan, they had to get to know him secretly.It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that since you're here, let's take a look around, there's nothing wrong with it.

I booked two rooms at the inn, took a hot bath to warm up, and had dinner.Then go out for a walk before it's completely dark.They were pressed for time, and they couldn't relax and wait until the next day to check.

The people of Xinyi have a good evaluation of the industry of Wubeilou. Whether it is a restaurant or a money store, the word of mouth is quite good.It can be seen that Chu Yuan is very caring and measured in doing things.Then the two of them inquired about the piece of land that Chu Yuan bought from the government on the street.

Maybe you can't find anything from the government, but you can often get "good information" from the common people.After tea and dinner, uncles and aunts in twos and threes like to gather together to chat.What's more, it's the slack season for farming, and it's evening. Sitting around the teahouse talking about the neighbors and listening to books is just passing the time.

After several inquiries, the two of them did gain a lot.According to the oldest elders, this land was not so deserted before.

A long time ago, I can't tell what year it was. Even Xinyi City didn't even exist at that time, and the people living here were retail investors.

The people living on that piece of land are "Southern barbarians" as poor scholars call them, and they are not ordinary people from the south, that is, people from southern Xinjiang.It is still a big family, and there is a large manor on such a large piece of land.However, there are very few people living in such a large garden.

Later, more people lived here, and the imperial court began to plan and designated this place as Xinyi.After the government officials arrived, the owner of the manor left, and left in a hurry.

It is said that it was because it was a relatively prominent period of discord between the north and the south, and the "southern barbarians" in the north would be arrested and tortured by the court, so they left in a hurry, and even destroyed the manor, just because they didn't want such a big house to be cheap give others.

But because it was a long time ago after all, those who still know these are old people in their seventies and eighties, and they heard it from their grandparents, and each has its own version, the authenticity of which needs to be investigated.

The only unified caliber is that the people from Southern Xinjiang used to live in that barren place. After the people from Southern Xinjiang left, they destroyed the manor and left it uninhabited. Finally, it became what it is today.

In fact, thinking about it now, maybe those people from southern Xinjiang destroyed the manor to prevent others from living in it, lest people discover the existence of the underground palace.

It might be that the north and the south were in a hurry to leave at the beginning, and the reason why I haven't come back is because until now, no Nanjiang people have appeared in Xinyi. If they suddenly appeared, it would arouse suspicion and attention.

After all, there is a big difference in living habits between the north and the south, not to mention that in such a remote place in southern Xinjiang, there are differences in habits and accents that go deep into the bone marrow. Impossible to hide for long.

It's just that no matter how different the living habits are, I haven't heard that people in southern Xinjiang have the habit of building underground palaces under the manor, at least ordinary people don't do it.Maybe the person who built the manor here had a different identity.

After some inquiry, it was dark, and the two bought some snacks and went back to the inn.Although it wasn't long after dinner, Zhang Wu'an said he was hungry and didn't want to eat anymore.Wan Teng felt that he saw a lot of snacks on the street but didn't want to directly say that he wanted to eat these children's favorite things.

It's not too early for the "snack" after eating, and I have to go to Chuyuan's early tomorrow morning, so it's time to rest.Back to their respective rooms, lying on the bed, but tossing and turning just can't fall asleep.The room is very warm, and the quilt is clean and comfortable. It is obvious that the boat is exhausted, but there is no sleepiness at all.

Except for these few days on the road, they have been sleeping together all the time, and it's a bit uncomfortable to suddenly sleep separately outside.Obviously sleeping alone for so many years, it has become a habit in just these two days.

Zhang Wuan pulled back the quilt, closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.In the future, if you get the Qiankun Yuxi and return to the original world, you still have to be alone.

I don't know how long it took for Zhang Wu'an to fall asleep in a daze, but Wan Teng in the other room almost couldn't sleep until midnight.He thought about Zhang Wu'an who had been looking out of the carriage during the day, there had never been a moment like that at that time, which made him feel that the distance between them was so far away.Besides his true identity, he must have something Zhang Wuan kept from him.

He has never asked Zhang Wuan's real identity after getting along for so long, and he believes that one day this person will tell him.But until they had such an intimate relationship, this person still had no intention of speaking.

At that time, Shen Yuwei told him about Zhang Wuan's past experience, and he thought that this should be the reason, but other than that, did Wuan hide things that even Shen Yuwei didn't know?

And at that time, Wuan would suddenly change his attitude and join Wubeilou, he knew there must be other reasons.

In the past, I just thought that I was eager to employ people, but Zhang Wuan was capable and talented, so I wanted to include him in Wubeilou. Anyway, it was under my nose, so I didn't have to worry about him having any bad ideas.

But today, what Zhang Wu'an means to him is not just a simple subordinate.

Thinking too much, Wan Teng sighed softly, it was another sleepless night.

The two of them woke up early the next day, and went to Chu Yuan's side before dawn. He was probably still sleeping at this time, and I don't know if the two of them hugged each other, "I can't sleep well and others don't want to sleep." That's why I woke up so early.

The sky is dark, the first cat star and the second cat star are still hanging in the sky, there are few people on the street, even the morning market is not yet time.Chu Yuanzai was woken up by his servant in his sleep, saying that someone came from the main building.Chu Yuan put on his clothes in a daze, dragged his shoes and walked out. The cloak was casually draped over his shoulders.

Although the dream was disturbed, since it was the main building who came, how could we not go and see it?Followed the servant to the door and saw that it was Zhang Wu'an and Wan Teng who came, thinking that the two landlords are really not ordinary people!How could ordinary people come here at this time?

In fact, he didn't expect that the things he reported would receive such attention. He thought that the landlord would send Ji Jingsi to take a look at the most, but he didn't expect that the two landlords would come in person.

When the landlord arrived, he naturally couldn't act like his clothes said no, rubbed his eyes, and respectfully invited the two of them to sit inside.

Wan Teng raised his hand and refused, "Let's go to the underground palace you mentioned now. It's still early, you can find someone to take us there, and go back to rest first, and we will come to you later if there is anything else we need!"

"No, no, since the landlord is going to the underground palace now, it is natural that his subordinates should lead the way." Just kidding!How could he ask someone else to lead the two landlords back to sleep?Do you still want to do it?Master, you sleep when you do things, what a spectrum!
