Lanke Chess Edge

Ji Yuan didn't intend to know who said it. Firstly, when chatting with Wei Wuwei and others, he had already revealed the meaning of Dazhen, but the time has not been determined; secondly, his own whereabouts are uncertain. The downside, besides, it seems quite hypocritical to go to several places and tell people that I plan to travel far away.

But a trip home is also necessary.

In the afternoon of the second day of the first lunar month, Ji Yuan had arrived at home and was writing on the desk in his room.

Although he didn't mean to know people specifically, he still left books in Ju'an Xiaoge anyway.

After finishing writing, Ji Yuan put down the pen, picked up the paper and shook it, the ink dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's right, that's great!"

This book contains decrees, and there are dozens of words in it. If someone really comes to him, the decree will react accordingly. Seeing the left book, it may not be easy to find where others are, but generally it is to the north , It’s good to have an idea in mind.

After Ji Yuan looked at it, he didn't leave any expressive meaning after all, he just put the decree on the table and pressed it with a paperweight.

After finishing these, Ji Yuan took a few old brass locks in the house, walked out the door, and locked the main house with a "click".

"Shushasha...shashasha..."

The branches and leaves of the jujube tree in the yard move automatically without wind, Ji Yuan looked at the jujube tree like this, smiled and said.

"You can't move, and it's extremely difficult for the grass spirit to get out of its original shape. I'm going to trouble you to look after the house."

After saying this, Ji Yuan walked out of the courtyard again, locked the courtyard door, and then deliberately took an umbrella and carried a bag, and walked out along the alley of Tianniufang.

Although Ji Yuan's presence in Ning'an County has not been high in recent years, Mr. Ji Da's status is still not low in the hearts of many people who know him, so if he is not in a hurry, Ji Yuan will basically do this every time he travels far. Let the villagers who met him along the way know that Mr. Ji is on a long journey.

When some neighbors in Tianniufang met Ji Yuan, they would all say hello, and when they saw Ji Yuan carrying an umbrella and baggage, they would even ask, and they would naturally get a reply that they would travel far away again.

After leaving Tianniufang, the Sun Ji noodle stall on the opposite street is still open. The Sun family is hardworking, and even on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they never really rest all day.

But when Ji Yuan passed by, Sun Shusheng was packing up the things on the stall, and arranged the tables and chairs and hung them in front of the cart, it seemed that the stall was about to be closed.

Sun Shusheng is old man Sun's youngest son, and old man Sun handed over the noodle stall to him when he couldn't work anymore. Although he was not as familiar with Ji Yuan as his father, he still knew him anyway. Warm hello.

"Mr. Ji, happy Chinese New Year, are you here for noodles?"

The Sun family members all know that Mr. Ji lives alone, and most of the time the house does not fire, and he chooses to eat noodles at the noodle stall.

Although the number has decreased a lot in recent years, what old man Sun left behind is that if Mr. Ji had never been here, Sun Ji noodle stall would always leave a portion of chop suey and braised noodles.

"Happy Chinese New Year, happy new year, you have to close the stall early, do you still have noodles?"

After Ji Yuan handed over the gift, he asked a casual question.

Sun Shusheng put down the small table he was about to move, wiped his hands with a shoulder towel, and said with a silly smile.

"Yes! There is still a portion of haggis and noodles, and the charcoal stove is still on. If Mr. Ji wants to eat, I will make it for you right now!"

It seemed that he just saw the umbrella Ji Yuan was holding and the baggage behind him, so Sun Shusheng also asked.

"Sir, are you going away again?"

"Yeah, this trip may go a little further, so I won't eat the noodles. Say hello to the old grandson for me."

"Okay, definitely bring it, then you go slowly."

"Um."

After Ji Yuan responded, he walked towards the city gate. This time he didn't use the technique of flying, but walked all the way to the outside of the city, but he kept walking. Follow the ground and go northward, pass through Qizhou on the top of Jizhou, and then go out of the border of Dazhen State.

This walk, just walked for a long time.

About three months later, Ji Yuan, wearing a gray shirt, was walking alone in a forest road wilderness.

Since leaving the border of Dazhen Kingdom from Qizhou more than a month ago, the speed of calculating fate has been relatively slow.

The north of Dazhen is mainly bordered by two countries, one is Tingliang country that occupies half of Tingqiu Mountain, and the country it is in now should be called Zuyue country. Many places directly border Dazhen, and there are occasional exchanges between the two countries. friction.

But after Ji Yuan found some important towns at the border, the back of the Zuyue Kingdom looked deserted for a long time, and it had been a long time since he came out of the last town.

Ji Yuan walked along the wilderness forest road. Although many parts of the road were almost covered by weeds, judging from the width, it should be regarded as a main road, but there were too few people walking.

When he got to a certain place, Ji Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at a place with very lush weeds on the side of the road, thought for a moment and took two steps closer.

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to sweep away the grass, revealing two white bones with some pieces of cloth glued behind them.

"Fortunately, I don't need much food and water. Otherwise, if ordinary people walk this road without enough supplies, they will be able to pass through."

Whether it was the Yin Division who took away the ghost or became a lonely ghost, in short, there was no soul energy left on the two bones, let alone how they passed away, Ji Yuan could only sigh and leave.

Half a day later, something that might be a building complex finally appeared in Ji Yuan's blurred vision, and he couldn't help but speed up a little, but the closer he got, Ji Yuan's brows gradually frowned.

In front of me is a not-so-small village, but I can't see how many people are angry. I thought it was because of the distance, but I can't smell much popularity when I smell it closer.

'It seems to be deserted. '

Ji Yuan entered the village and looked left and right. Many houses looked dilapidated, weeds were overgrown in front of and behind the village, and there was no smell of chickens or dogs in the village, let alone people.

I walked into the village for a while without seeing anyone, and Ji Yuan didn't go any further, but turned back to a big house without a yard at the head of the village.

There is a well in front of this house, Ji Yuan has seen it, there is well water in it, well ropes and wooden barrels are also there, and the house is considered complete, it can shelter from wind and rain.

"Goog...goog...goog..."

With the turning of the handle, a bucket of well water was brought up by Ji Yuan, and he took it out to have a look, the well water was very clear, and there was no unclean smell.

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up some well water, drank it "gulu gulu", feeling that it was refreshing and quenched his thirst.

"Huh... this place..."

Exhaling, Ji Yuan looked at a small dilapidated temple about tens of meters away from the head of the village. It was the earth temple in the village, and there was no divine light left, and he did not try to capture the land with God mean.

In a desolate place, it seemed that the sky was getting dark very quickly, and Ji Yuan just rested for a while, and the surroundings had already become gray.

Ji Yuan bought some firewood from a dilapidated house nearby, and Ji Yuan planned to rest here tonight. At least there was a roof, and tomorrow would be the startling sting. Judging from the weather, it was likely to rain at night.

A lot of furniture that was easy to take away from the front and rear of this big house were gone, not even the pot on the kitchen stove, and there were traces of a burning fire in the living room, presumably left by other passers-by.

There was a big hole in the roof over the kitchen, and Ji Yuan simply went to the hall of the house to pile up firewood and light it. Although the door and window paper were through, it could be closed at least.

Ji Yuan found another remaining stool and sat down by the fire, and inserted a piece of dry biscuit with a firewood stick, one end was stuck in the hole in the foot of the stool, and the other end was picked up by the fire to bake.

While waiting for the pancakes to heat up and soften, Ji Yuan took out a book to relieve his boredom. It was the "Biography of the Outsiders" that he hadn't read for a long time. I have been practicing during the period of rest, and I will read this book today to relax.

"Boom..."

The spring thunder sounded, Ji Yuan held the book and looked up at the door, the lightning twisted and cut through the night sky.

"I guess it's the first thunder of the year?"

"Boom..."

The thunder outside seemed to echo Ji Yuan's soliloquy.

However, Ji Yuan was immediately attracted by other things, besides the sound of thunder and wind, he could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps and horseshoes, accompanied by some conversational words approaching.

Ji Yuan suddenly felt a little funny, it seemed that he had stayed in a desolate place several times, and it was a rainy night, and he would always meet some people, but it was not bad, at last he was considered populated.

"Um?"

Just thinking about it, Ji Yuan suddenly smelled something strange, and looked at the pancakes in front of the fire, they were indeed not mushy.

Outside the abandoned village, seven or eight people are slowly approaching with two horses, all of them are full of exhaustion.

One of the two horses was carrying a person and the other was loaded with things on its back. On the back of the horse in front was an eight or nine-year-old little girl.

"Second Lord, Second Lord, there are people in the village, there are people in the village, I saw the fire, there are people in this village!"

The others cheered up when they heard the words, and they could indeed see the light of the fire after looking at it. It is not completely dark now, and there are some dilapidated houses in front of them. They didn't see much just now. some.

"Finally it's not a deserted village anymore!" "It would be nice if there were some people, and I'll get something thinner to eat instead."

"It's better to have wine!" "Hey hey...."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go."

But when a group of people entered the village and saw many dilapidated houses, the sense of expectation in their hearts gradually decreased, but they still moved towards the direction of the fire.

When they walked outside a relatively complete mansion, they saw a fire lit in the hall over there, and a person was sitting on a stool, looking out.
