Chapter 13 Let’s go to Shengjing
On the early morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, there was already a slight chill in the city.
The red sun emerged from the huge blood-red wound and was shrouded in mist, like a pickled egg yolk, reflecting the desolation inside and outside Yuyang County.
Ji You pushed the door open and walked out of the ancestral house, and saw a scholar already on the empty street. He was walking out of the morning mist carrying a bamboo box, a baggage in his left hand, and half a pancake in his right hand.
"Brother Ji, morning."
Ji You just locked the door of the house and was a little confused when he saw him like this: "Caichen..."
Kuang Cheng didn't hear clearly and walked closer: "I'm going to Beijing today. The mountains are high and the road is long, so I'll say goodbye to you here. I hope Brother Ji will have a smooth journey to immortality."
"Are you going to Beijing alone?"
Kuang Cheng nodded: "If it hadn't been delayed for five days due to the Qiu family's affairs, I might have set off long ago."
Ji You glanced at the misty morning and found that the sky in the west was still gray: "How to get from Yuyang County to Shengjing?"
"First take a carriage to the southwest, then walk around Dongshou Mountain, and then take a carriage. Mortals are not allowed to cross the hundred-mile radius of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion, so I still need to go around, and then go to Mogu Station to take a carriage..."

"It's so troublesome, how much money will you spend on this trip?"
"About five denarii."
Ji You was slightly startled: "You are also a young master, so you are sure that five coins is enough?"
Kuang Cheng was stunned for a moment, clutched the bag tightly and said: "Students need to work hard to make their aspirations clear. You can stay in an ancient temple without having to stay in a hotel. Although there have been rumors about temples being haunted by evil spirits in recent years, I have a majestic spirit, so I am. Not afraid.”
"Are you really so proud?"
"This...I'm not sure, but the book says so."
"It's too dangerous, Brother Kuang!"
Ji You narrowed his eyes, looked at him carefully and said, "Otherwise I'll go with you. I'm very interested in the haunted ancient temple."
Kuang Cheng was a little confused after hearing this: "That's not necessary, Brother Ji. Although the road to the exam is extremely dangerous, two out of five can survive. It may not be me."
"Only two to live? That's really not necessary."
Ji You thought for a moment and looked up at him: "You are the only one in the Kuang family. It would be a pity if you died on the road."
Kuang Cheng looked up at the sky that was not yet completely bright and said: "If this is really the case, then it is destiny."
"Come on the road with me."
"?"
Ji You put the baggage on his back: "I heard that Fang Ruoyao is going to bring a maid to accompany her. I thought, I can also bring a group of study boys. Taking a fairy boat will be more comfortable than you going around."
Kuang Cheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and then refused with a chuckle: "How dare an ordinary person like Kuang dare to sit on the treasure ship of a cultivator?"
"You can't hold your mouth shut anymore."
"Kuang didn't."
After the two were silent for a long time, Ji You suddenly stretched out his hand: "Give me five coins for travel expenses!"
Kuang Cheng hesitated for a long time, then took the bag off his shoulder, opened the inner and outer layers, and finally took out a bulging money bag, and found the smallest piece of broken silver and put it in his hand.
Even this smallest one seems to cost more than five yuan.
God, you must be a scholar. Ji You frowned and said, "You have so many, give me some more."
"Brother Ji, too much money will confuse the mind..."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
Kuang Cheng held his money bag and said, "Because Kuang is a scholar and has a majestic spirit..." Ji You was silent for a while, and finally begged politely and collected about two or three dollars of silver and put it in into his pocket.
At this time, the dusk was gradually fading, the skylight was gradually falling, and people began to enter and exit the city.
There is no slack period between autumn harvest and spring plowing. People in Yuyang County have to go to the mountains to collect firewood or go to work further away. They live hard like this year after year.
When the two saw this scene, they were silent for a long time.
"Let's go."
"Yeah."
The autumn morning was heavy with dew, and their clothes were already a little damp on the way out of the city.
But fortunately, the sun soon broke through the clouds and mist, and a ray of dawn shone down, passing through the city hole, shining a golden light on the feet of the scholar and the young man, and stretching their figures longer and longer.
By the time the two arrived outside the city, many figures were already standing in the open space in front of the county monument.
Cao Jinsong, Pei Ruyi, the father and daughter of the Fang family, and the three members of the Qiu family are all here.
In addition, the common people who had recognized Ji You in the barn that day also gathered here to see him off.

Seeing Ji You and Kuang Cheng walking out of the city one after another, little Qiu Ru suddenly broke away from her mother's arms, rushed over with her calves, hugged Ji You's thigh, and looked up at his corner of mouth.
"Little girl, why are you getting heavier and heavier?"
"Master, Ruru has eaten meat at the magistrate's house. It's delicious. Dad is a liar. I wanted to leave a piece for you, but I didn't allow it. I was so angry that I cried!"
Ji You couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the Qiu family and his wife coming, holding a bundle in their hands: "Master, this is the money I got when I rescued Ruru. Please take it with you on the way..."
Li Shuping also knelt down and said: "Master, the foolish woman was ignorant before and always spoke harshly to you, but you finally saved Ruru. The foolish woman kowtows to you here..."
"That's unnecessary."
Ji You stretched out his hand to help Li Shuping up: "I think the third family in Nanya River belongs to my family, and Qiu Ru is my sister. I will definitely come back many times before I ascend to immortality. If you always treat me like this, I will still How to come back?”
Cao Jinsong's eyelids jumped slightly when he heard the word "ascension" being used in such an understatement.
When this man spoke, he showed his domineering side despite the calmness of the wind and clouds. He was indeed no ordinary person.
At this time, Lao Qiu handed over the baggage: "Master, take this with you. You have left home and you don't have any acquaintances. Many things require money, so don't treat yourself badly."
"No, Lao Qiu, I still have some money. I'll leave these for your family use."
"When the Ji family fled, they took away all their belongings and left you not a single ingot. Lao Qiu, I know better than you, young master, so please don't refuse anymore."
"It's not a refusal, young master, I am really rich."
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ji You reached out and patted Kuang Cheng's baggage.
Kuang Cheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly recalled the scene when he saw him covered in blood in Ji Zhai.
Ji You had lamented to him that day, saying that the world of Qingyun had finally lost a brilliant and brilliant gangster, but why did he feel that he was indispensable?
"Everyone, I have to say goodbye after a long journey, so let's stop here."
"If the neighbors have time, please help me clean my house. If any Ji clan members come back, I will leave it to them."
After Ji You said this, he turned his head, looked at the rising sun and the mountains in the distance, and exhaled softly.
He felt that he was not here for no reason, but that he had something to accomplish.
"Let's go, young man, to see the wind in your destiny."
