One of the two is a dragon and the other is a ghost, and they are used to walking at night, so it should be nothing to fear.
However, it is rumored that there are some bandits wandering in the mountains and forests in this area. Because Xue Xian was holding a golden bead, Jiang Shining carried his heart and fear all the way, for fear that he would run into one or two groups and tear them apart.
This concern reached its peak when he saw signs of fights chopped by knives and axes on the wall pillars of several abandoned temples, and saw dried dark red blood in the corner of the door.
But for some reason, they didn't even meet a live mountain bandit along the way. They occasionally ran into passing carriages and horses, and they could turn back into paper and take a drop-in car.
All in all, it's a little strange to be calm.
Until the fourth day, when they walked outside the destination city gate unscathed, Jiang Shining still couldn't believe it: "Are we lucky?"
"Others are not afraid of thieves, but they are afraid of thieves. You're better, you're the only one who thinks about thieves all day." Xue Xian looked up at the city gate.
"Wolong County—" Jiang Shining read the three big characters and said: "It is said that any place name with the word 'dragon' is a place where a real dragon once appeared. This Wolong County, it sounds like a real dragon is here. slept."
Xue Xian looked disgusted: "This county town with a big slap doesn't even have enough feet, you have only slept!"
Jiang Shining looked at him blankly: "I didn't say you?"
They came just by chance, at the fifth watch, and the morning bell rang from the city, wave after wave, spread from the inside to the outside. After the reverberation of the fifth wave of bells ceased, the city gate was slowly opened.
When the gate was opened, Jiang Shining avoided the corner, intending to turn back into a cardboard and slip in by the door while the night was still dark, so as to avoid some inexplicable trouble during the inspection. But as soon as he took a step back, he felt something slapped his heels.
"What?" Xue Xian asked.
Jiang Shining squatted down, pushed aside the snow on the footprints, and took out a slightly deformed piece of iron.
By the light of the lanterns on the city wall, Xue Xian squinted to identify it, and saw that the iron piece was about the size of a thumb, with a rough wolf head engraved on one side and a name on the other, but the name was slashed with a knife. , please see the original appearance.
"Another one." Jiang Shining muttered, and took out a similar piece of iron from his arms.
He had picked it up from a Buddhist statue in an abandoned temple before, and it was still stained with a drop of dark blood. The side with the name on it was also scratched in such a mess that it was impossible to make out the words.
Xue Xian said, "Put it away first."
Jiang Shining put back the two pieces of iron without further delay. Taking advantage of the guard's inattentiveness, he hurriedly entered the city along the crack of the door.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he was dumbfounded.
The appearance of this Wolong County is very different from that of Ningyang County. At a glance, you can hardly see a straight street, all of which are twisted and twisted around each other. At first glance, it looks like a messy labyrinth.
Jiang Shining held back for a while, and finally bowed his head to Xue Xian: "This way... how do I go?"
Xue Xian proudly hugged Jin Zhu, shook his head and said, "One street ahead, go over the ramp where there is Zhang's Pastry Shop in the east."
"See that stall that sells sesame cakes? Go west on that corner."
"Which branch road smells like ravioli in fresh soup? Yes, just take that branch road."
…
A few streets and alleys jumped, and Jiang Shining was hungry under his command. Born as a wild ghost, it is really a ghost to know how long he has not felt hungry.
"You are blind, do you rely on food to remember the road?"
Xue Xian put his arms around Jin Zhu and nodded: "Yes. You walk more and talk less, it will be dawn. Just walk past a braised meat shop and a Baishun restaurant and you'll be there!"
Jiang Shining silently rolled his eyes.
Although this ancestor's way of remembering the road is a bit annoying, it is always short-cut. Sure enough, after walking past the Baishun restaurant, Jiang Shining saw the ferry in the distance hidden in the snow and mist. The flags were roaring in the wind, and there seemed to be a few passenger boats moored on the shore.
Jiang Shining folded his hands to cover the paper-skinned man, who was poking his head out, and walked towards the Fang District east of the ferry with his neck shrunk.
"Ancestor, can you sit still and don't move? I won't pick you up if the wind blows away." Jiang Shining babbled angrily.
Xue Xian turned his head again and glanced at the street next to him several times, and tutted, "Why do I always feel that there is someone behind me."
Jiang Shining stopped his steps subconsciously, and simply looked around in a circle for a week, "I didn't see any strange people. Is it possible that the snowflakes are always drifting from the side of my eyes, and I'm seeing it wrong?"
"maybe.
