Chapter 16 Zhangjia Village
"Okay, now the only question left is the route. Why did I pretend to be cool? I just asked that person how to get to Zhangjiacun. I insisted on asking half of the questions and didn't ask the other half. I just got a broken jade pendant.
.”
Looking down at the jade pendant engraved with the word "Shun" on his hand, Li Guhong sighed.
"It's fine now. I only know that it is Zhangjia Village, which is far away from the city. The other two eyes are darkened. Forget it, wait until I get home and see if there are any nearby maps in my father's book collection. I really can't help it.
Let’s find someone to inquire about it.”
He felt very upset about his behavior of running away just after pretending to be 13, but there was nothing he could do now, he just left.
It is impossible to go back to Bisheng Inn to inquire, let alone how long it has been now, and I don’t know if I can still find him.
It had been a few hours since he got the jade pendant, and the sky above his head had already turned dark. Li Guhong led the horse back to his home in the east of the city.
He first took the horse to his father's former stable, fed the horse for a while, and stared blankly at the horse grazing. He couldn't help but think of the days he spent with his father.
This is really a change of things!
"I am Li Guhong of the earth, and I am also Li Guhong of this world. I will definitely avenge my father's great revenge, right? You guys just wait for me."
Li Guhong said something silently to himself. He swore that one day he would make the Demon Sect that destroyed his family pay back with blood. No matter who his opponent was, in short, none of them would have an easy time.
He, Li Guhong, will become a nightmare for his enemies in the future.
After feeding the horse quietly for a while, Li Guhong left the stable at home. He planned to go to the bathroom to take a bath first to wash away the smell of being dyed in the horse stall.
To be honest, he didn't like the smell of the manor, and he didn't want to endure it for a moment. After washing, he plunged into his father's study to look for what he needed.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a while, Li Guhong looked at the map in his hand with a silly smile on his face. Huya had already prepared for the worst when he came in to look for it.
If he didn't have a map at home, he might go out and hire someone, or he might walk all the way and ask around, but he would try his best to get to Zhangjiacun.
But he didn't expect that his detective father's study contained not only this volume of maps near Qingshi City, but also some other maps in and around Cangjiang Prefecture.
Having these maps will not only help him on this mission, but it will also be more convenient for Li Guhong to perform other missions in the future, without having to worry about not being able to recognize the road.
"From today on, I, Li Guhong, am also a virtuous person."
Looking at the map in his hand, Li Guhong said proudly to the air.
Spreading the map in his hand on the table and slowly opening it, Li Guhong carefully checked the map around Bluestone City. At the same time, he kept thinking about the route and terrain.
"It turns out that the surrounding area of Qingshi City is so large. In addition to the subordinate towns, there are so many villages. Zhangjiacun exits from the east gate of the city and walks along the Zuoerguan Road for about one or two hundred miles."
"If I use my vitality to ride a horse at full speed, it will take at least two hours to reach the destination. Well, in this case, let's set off early tomorrow morning and try to arrive at noon tomorrow."
Li Guhong mentally thought about the route carefully. After confirming the departure date and route, he found a piece of paper and pen from the study room and copied the outline of the map again.
Because he didn't want to take this map out in case there was an accident and lose the file, he copied the map as a backup. At this time, his skills as an art student in China came into play.
After looking at the maps that were almost the same, Li Guhong nodded with satisfaction. His painting skills had not deteriorated. On the contrary, because of practicing the exercises, his control over the details was more in place, and he was somewhat more refined.
After drying the ink, Li Guhong left his father's study. It was already around six or seven in the evening, and he was indeed a little tired after the whole day, walking around the city.
However, you have to practice what you should practice. Martial arts training is like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will fall back. If you stop practicing for a day, he will not suffer any setback, but it will easily lead to laziness in his mind.
In order to prevent himself from becoming a lazy dog due to a momentary mistake, Li Guhong re-learned a few sets of martial arts skills in the yard, and went through the tough stone body training a few times. He still looked at and studied it from time to time in Yiqi Slash.
Not used.
After finishing the work in the yard, Li Guhong dragged his tired body to eat something, then took a shower again and entered his bedroom to practice his toad skill. Not to mention, at least he was tired from practicing today, but he still felt
Quite fulfilling.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he took the map he had copied and the big maroon horse he just bought and went out to the east gate of Qingshi City. Today he was officially leaving the city to go to Zhangjiacun to slay the demons.
.
Looking at the city gate behind him, Li Guhong looked at the vigorous and simple "Blue Stone City" hanging on the city tower and the pedestrians going in and out under the city tower. His face seemed to be very emotional.
This is the first time he has left Qingshi City since traveling through time, but it will definitely not be the last time.
"My journey is to the stars and the sea!"
Li Guhong clenched the horse rope in his hand without any hesitation. He got on his horse and galloped along the uphill official road.
Along the way, he could still see some figures, either people entering the city or merchants transporting goods out of the city. Slowly, as the city behind him became smaller and smaller, many nearby farmers around Bluestone City originally planted
The fields are slowly disappearing.
In the end, Li Guhong completely left the surroundings of Qingshi City and entered the mountain forest along the official road.
Looking at the increasingly dense weeds and taller trees along the way, Li Guhong felt nervous and a little excited.
Qingshi City was originally a city built in the mountains. It should be said that all the major "stone cities" in Cangjiang Prefecture were built in the mountains.
Apart from some plains, the most important thing in Cangjiang Prefecture is mountains. Most of the official roads connecting various places actually pass through the mountains.
After entering the mountains and forests, Li Guhong's speed was slower than at the beginning.
But he was not in a hurry, and it was still early. Even if he delayed for a while, he would definitely arrive in the afternoon, so he rode his horse and stopped and walked among the plains and mountains and forests.
, very high priority.
While admiring the scenery, he hurried on. The walk was enjoyable. From time to time, a few small animals appeared in the mountains, but there were no traces of monsters. Occasionally, there were oncoming caravans. Every time
Basically, all batches are protected by warriors.
Four hours later, looking at the outline of the small mountain village that appeared in front of him from a distance, Li Guhong knew that his destination, Zhangjiacun, was right in front of him. Looking at the place getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but speed up.
Run towards the village.
It was probably a little past noon, and most of the people in the village were making fires for cooking. Smoke could be vaguely seen rising from several houses in the village. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Guhong got off his horse and looked for the villagers.
, be prepared to ask one or two questions.
Not long after entering the village, Li Guhong saw an elder. That man was obviously a warrior. From the strength of his energy and blood, Li Guhong felt that he was only at the early stage of physical training. The old man was playing in front of his house at the head of the village.
A herb-like plant exposed to the sun.
Li Guhong got off his horse, stepped forward and asked the old man,
"Old man, may I ask if this is Zhangjiacun?"
The old man had noticed Li Guhong when he entered the village, but he didn't say anything because from time to time people from outside the village would come into the village looking for someone. He thought they were friends of some younger generation in the village, and turned to look at Li Guhong.
He glanced at it and spoke slowly,
"Young man from outside? This is Zhangjia Village. Who are you here to see? What's the matter?"
Li Guhong remembered what Zhang Xiaoshun said yesterday at the "Bisheng Inn", so he explained to the old man according to Zhang Xiaoshun's words,
"Sir, my name is Li Guhong. I am a friend of Zhang Xiaoshun, the head of the village, in Qingshi City. He told me that there is a leopard demon wandering here. He is not worried about the safety of his family, so he asked me to come to the village to help solve the problem."
While talking to Li Guhong, he handed over the jade pendant Zhang Xiaoshun gave him.
After hearing this, the old man stood up and didn't say much. He just took the jade pendant from Li Guhong's hand and lowered his head to examine it. The old man's thumb kept touching the word "Shun" on the jade pendant, as if to confirm the quality of the jade pendant.
True or false.
"It turns out he's that brat's friend. Come on, I'm Zhang Xiaoshun's father, and I'm also the head of Zhangjia Village."
Mr. Zhang put away the jade pendant handed over by Li Guhong, straightened up and said proudly to Li Guhong.
Li Guhong didn't expect such a coincidence. He just entered the village and asked around about Zhang Xiaoshun's father. However, Zhang Xiaoshun had never told him before that his father was the village chief. This self-reliant "second generation official"
It’s also rare.
After touching his head, Li Guhong said a little embarrassedly,
"So you are Mr. Zhang. Zhang Xiaoshun mentioned you to me before, but he never told me about the situation in the village, nor did he say that you were the village chief. I didn't expect such a coincidence that I bumped into him all of a sudden.
You are welcome."
"It would be great if the boy mentioned me to an outsider and asked him to stay and help get rid of the demon before leaving. He actually said that the escort agency has rules and cannot stay longer. Is there any son of such a person?"
Mr. Zhang complained to Li Guhong. Apparently he was also a little resentful towards Zhang Xiaoshun, thinking that Zhang Xiaoshun was not too concerned about the affairs in the village.
"Brother Xiaoshun also has something important to do, so why don't you let me come to the village to help?"
