Mountains outside the academy

The mountains outside the academy are like a sleeping dragon, stretching between heaven and earth. The mountains are full of trees, which stand firm in the cold winds of winter, forming a vast and deep forest.

"Master, where do you think Li Fang will be?" the general asked curiously.

Lei Ze said: "If it is in the surrounding mountains, we can probably find it by walking around the academy twice. By the way, use Earth Escape."

The general asked: "Why, isn't it bad to fly?"

"Idiot, of course it's because it's too obvious."

.......

After a long time, all three of them felt anxious.

Xianmeng said: "Brother Xianren, we have searched all the surrounding mountains, why haven't we found him yet? Isn't he here?"

Lei Ze frowned and said thoughtfully: "If the academy he left five days ago is not in this mountain, it is possible that he went to Chihei City. If he cannot find it in Chihei City, then he can only Wish him good luck."

Xianmeng and the general nodded.

Xianmeng said: "Crimson Black City is about 300 miles away from here. He didn't take any dry food with him when he left. Walking back would be really hard for him."

The general said excitedly: "You can play with crickets when you go back."

Lei Ze touched her head and laughed at her: "Idiot, the crickets would have been dead by this time. Moreover, we put these crickets in the courtyard when we left. They would have run away long ago if they were not dead."

The general was a little disappointed: "Huh? That's it."

Lei Ze was a little excited: "But we can see what other goodies the pawn shop has collected, hahahahaha."

In this way, the three of them headed to Chihei City talking and laughing.

It was already evening when the three of them arrived at Chihei City. As soon as they entered, the three of them felt that the atmosphere in the city was really lively.

"Master, why is it so lively?" the general asked curiously.

Lei Ze was also a little confused and said: "I don't know, just think of them as celebrating the three of us returning to Chihei City."

The roofs of buildings on both sides of the street were covered with thick snow. People's breath turned into hot white air in the cold air.

The cold weather doesn't seem to dampen people's enthusiasm and energy. The streets are bustling and full of life. Although the night is dark, every corner of the city is still brightly lit, like an eternal flame, dispelling the cold and darkness.

Lei Ze asked a street vendor selling candied haws, "Brother, why is it so busy today, what day it is?"

The hawker replied with a smile: "Hey, sir, you are not a local, you don't know, Laba is coming in two days, everyone will buy some goods in advance, make Laba porridge, soak Laba garlic, and there will be temple fairs during Laba. Drama is much more lively than today.”

Lei Ze suddenly realized: "Oh, it's the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it's the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Look at how your life is going, and it's all confusing."

The hawker said: "Hey, looking at your extraordinary clothes, you are a busy man. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family is reunited. On this day, you should put down what you are doing and enjoy life with your family."

The hawker looked at the two girls next to Lei Ze and said, "Tell me, do you think so?"

After hearing this, Xianmeng looked at Lei Ze tenderly, her eyes full of love.

The general said mischievously: "We are together every day. For us, every day is Laba."

The hawker looked at these three people, the envy on his face almost overflowed. He smiled and nodded: "That's really enviable. With such a partner, life is good all year round. Sir, would you like to buy two Candied haws on a stick?”

Lei Ze looked at the vendor and said, "How much does a bunch of candied haws of yours cost?"

The hawker said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. It's only ten copper coins. Sir, it's winter and it's hard to get hawthorn, so..."

Lei Ze said: "Hahaha, it's a small matter." After speaking, he took out a tael of gold from his pocket and gave it to the hawker.

The hawker's eyes lit up when he saw the gold, but he said, "Sir, I'm a small business, so I don't have that much silver for you."

A bright smile appeared on Xian Meng's face, and she said to the vendor: "Then give us all these candied haws, and you don't need any change."

After hearing this, the vendor smiled again and again: "Sir, you two girls are so open-minded."

The hawker's candied haws were stuck on a thin straw man, and Xianmeng took the straw man away directly.

Lei Ze took a bunch and gave one to Wang Changsheng in his pocket.

Wang Changsheng sent a message: "Master, this is not poisonous."

"eat."

Wang Changsheng ate it reluctantly.

Lei Ze saw that Wang Changsheng was fine, so he gave a string to the general.

The general ate one and said, "Hey, why is it so sweet?"

Lei Ze smiled and said: "The candied haws on a stick must be sweet, are they made of sugar?"

Hearing this, Xian Meng also took a bunch and ate it, and said, "I think it's pretty good. It's crisp and clear, sour and sweet."

The general was about to throw away the candied haws in his hand, but he remembered the bet she had made with Lei Ze before, so he started eating again.

The three of them just ate while admiring the prosperity of the world, and unknowingly walked to the pawn shop.

When the maid saw that it was Lei Ze and the others, she quickly welcomed them in.

"Let me see what good things have been collected in the past three months." Lei Ze asked.

The maid next to him heard the boss's words and did not dare to neglect. She quickly brought a booklet and respectfully replied: "Boss, everything you want is recorded here. Please take a look."

Lei Ze opened it and looked at it: "On the first day of October, I received the vase from the previous dynasty, in good condition... On the fifth day of October, I received the white jade Ruyi, made of Hetian jade, and the carvings are exquisite..."

There seemed to be nothing he wanted, so he sighed and said, "Hey, that's it. Nothing good. Keep up the good work." After that, he took Xianmeng and the general and left the pawn shop.

The general said: "Master, let's go to Li Fang's shop and have a look. We can ask his father if he has come back. Huh? Something doesn't seem right. I saw with my spiritual consciousness that their house seems to have changed. Shop sign."

Xianmeng nodded: "Yes, it seems that the place where Li's shop is is now a different shop. Let's go and ask."

The three of them walked to the original store of Li's Shop, and saw that the current store had been transformed into Sun's Roast Chicken.

Xianmeng looked at the shouting boss and asked, "Boss, where is the old Li's shop?"

The boss said doubtfully: "Huh? Don't you know?"
