Bianshanhan [farming]

Before Li Qingwen woke up, Chen Wen, Sun Yonghao, and Zhou Congxin all came to see him. The former told them that they were just in time to come back and set off from the border town in five days.

Hearing that Li Qingwen had just returned from the forest to the camp and was going back to Bingzhou, Li Maoqun couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Even if there were no wild animals on the road, running outside for a few months in this cold weather would make one feel horrified, not to mention that Li Qingwen was still a half-grown child.

Li Maoqun said he would go back with him, and the Liu family brothers also wanted to leave after hearing this, but Li Qingfeng refused. Chen Wen and his group would suffice if there were Jiang Cong, the more people went, the more people would suffer.

What's more, Li Maoqun and the Liu brothers suffered the most from farming and harvesting this year, so they should take a good rest in winter.

Li Qingwen also didn't want Li Maoqun to suffer this back and forth, his uncle and his family were at odds, and he would only be angry when he went back, so why bother.

There was arguing about who went back, until they left, but it didn't delay everyone's packing up, making hundreds of catties of fish dumplings...

On the day of departure, Li Maoqun couldn't go with him after all. Li Qingfeng didn't know where he put his clothes, and even the cage and baggage disappeared. He went to the ground wrapped in a quilt, but he didn't dare to chase him out like this.

Li Qingfeng stood on the sledge and laughed at Li Maoqun who was inside the threshold. If it wasn't for the cold wind blowing into his stomach, he would have laughed a lot.

The cold wind blew up from below, Li Maoqun shivered, and he had to tell them to be more vigilant on the road.

This time, Chen Wen and the others had a lot more people than last time to escort the birthday gifts. Jiang Cong followed with the first sledge, and after half a day, Li Qingwen would pull the reins for him and drive on the road.

The same is true for the sledges at the back. They switch between each other in pairs, so that they can rest without being too tired.

When he stopped to rest, Li Qingwen caught a glimpse of the Puju prince by chance. Chen Wen took good care of him, and he was well-fed for food and drink. Those who didn't know it wouldn't be able to tell that he was a prisoner.

Although he knew that Jiang Cong was going to send Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng off, on the surface they were assisting in escorting the captives, and when passing through various post stations, they also provided supplies normally.In this way, Li Qingwen didn't need to prepare so much fodder and dry food, and the animals also saved some energy.

On the day of Chinese New Year, they traveled during the day and cooked frozen dumplings in the wild at night. Before leaving, they estimated the day, so they specially packed some.

After cooking, the officers and soldiers kept looking this way, Chen Wen came to take two pots away.

On this important day, Li Qingwen and others were neither in a warm house in a border town nor in a home surrounded by relatives. They were surrounded by white snow that could not be seen at a glance, and the howling wind was in their ears...

Only by eating dumplings can we comfort the regret in my heart.

Just after eating the dumplings, there was a bright light flashing across the sky, it was a shooting star!

Li Qingwen in the tent immediately clasped his hands together and began to make a wish—hope that next year he can celebrate the New Year with everyone in his family and Jiang Cong!

Seeing his strange movements, others asked Li Qingwen what he was doing, and when Li Qingwen said he was making a wish, everyone laughed at him, not knowing what was going on in the child's head.

Li Qingwen told them solemnly that he was already 16 years old, not a child!

The crowd laughed even louder. Jiang Cong patted his head, his eyes reflected the faint light of Xingzi, "Our son's wish will definitely come true."

On the second day, I cooked the remaining dumplings again, and it was considered as a festival in Hongzhou.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, a group of people arrived in Yuanbei City.

Jiang Cong handed over the reins of the horse to Chen Wen's officers and soldiers, and watched Li Qingwen enter the city.

The city gate was open, but he couldn't step in. The gate was like a moat, separating him from Li Qingwen and cutting off the way home.

No one came in or out of the northernmost gate, and Jiang Cong and the others stood outside alone.

Li Qingwen kept turning his head when he entered the city gate. Every time he could see Jiang Cong staring at him, the joy of returning home was gone. He sniffed, then suddenly turned his head and ran back.

"Brother, you have to wait for me." He stepped on his feet, wiped the snow off Jiang Cong's hat, and said seriously.

He couldn't take a step forward, but Li Qingwen was able to take the initiative to find it again and again...

Somewhere in his heart was touched, Jiang Cong took a soft breath, bent over and hugged Li Qingwen, "Zai'er, go back, brother is waiting for you here."

Li Qingwen responded, his heart felt tight, but he had to bear it on the face, and told him to go to the nearest post station to rest, and he would be back soon.

When Li Qingwen and the others left, the people who saw them off raised their heads, looked at the majestic city gate, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

A few years ago, when they left here, they thought that they might not be able to go back in the future. The more peaceful days in the border town made their hearts gradually settle down, but at this time, the feeling was stirred up again.

At the post station in the city, the sledge was replaced with a horse-drawn carriage, and the things on the sledge were loaded into six carts. Chen Wen sent a few soldiers to drive the carriages for the Li family brothers. Next, they also went to Fanyang City, and happened to be on the way.

Of course, if it was not on the way, Chen Wen would find someone to take the two of them there. He promised Jiang Cong and Jiang Liping to take care of them, so naturally he had to do his best.

After passing Longbei City, the wind became lighter and warmer immediately. Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng's clothes were different from those of the passers-by on the road, which attracted many children with runny noses to stare at them.

The prince in Puyu seemed to have forgotten his identity, opened the window of the carriage, looked around, and his falcons would fly out from time to time.

Because of Chen Wen's presence, Li Qingwen and the others entered Fanyang City very smoothly, and were not stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city to interrogate them about the fur and medicinal materials.

Chen Wen had an order, so he couldn't stay with them in Fanyang City for a long time. He put the two brothers in an inn, and followed Li Qingwen with dozens of soldiers to the pharmacy and fur shop.

Pedestrians on the road had never seen this battle before, and they avoided it one after another. The shopkeeper bowed his hands to them, reassuring Chen Wen that they had opened a shop here for many years, and they would definitely not deceive customers.

After walking around and returning to the inn, Li Qingwen took a bundle to Chen Wen and asked him to send it to Wenzheng Academy.

It contained ginseng and fur. After Li Qingzhuo received it, he could sell it for silver.

Li Qingwen also knew that it would be more convenient to give the money directly, but he and Li Qingfeng didn't have it, so they wanted to exchange it in Fan Yangcheng, but were stopped by Chen Wen.

He said that these things are more expensive in the capital, and the burden is not too heavy, so it doesn't get in the way.

While Li Qingwen was talking to Chen Wen, Li Qingfeng saw a sneaky person next to their car, shouted loudly, jumped down from the second floor, and called Li Qingwen to look down.

The person next to the car was startled, and ran into the street as fast as he could.

Li Qingfeng followed him to the street, seeing people coming and going, and a figure slipping away very quickly.

He recognized it, immediately smashed through the crowd, and chased after him at a faster speed.

The person in front looked back while running, and saw Li Qingfeng's ferocious face, getting closer and closer to him, almost frightened his guts, "ziliu" into the alley next to him.

Li Qingfeng chased after him, and was about to turn a corner, when a group of tall and strong people came from the opposite side, he shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!!"

The oncoming people seemed to be frightened, and several of them stood in place, unbiased and unbiased, just blocking the entrance of the alley.

Li Qing vomited blood aggressively, and was about to make a way out when he heard a familiar voice next to him, "Feng'er?"

Li Qingfeng's eyes widened suddenly, and he stopped abruptly, leaving a trace on the ground. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Maoxian in a thick sackcloth standing beside him...

Blinking hard, the face in front of him still remained unchanged, Li Qingfeng couldn't help shouting: "Father..."

"It's really the fourth child, I thought it was a mistake..."

"Don't look at him dressed like this, I recognized the voice he yelled just now!"

"Fourth, are you spreading hawks on the street?"

Li Qingfeng looked over, Li Qingshun, Li Qingyong, Li Qingzhu... This group was all from their old Li family.

Not only did he know all the men, but he would not be wrong about the women around Li Maoxian.

"Gu!" Li Qingfeng smiled, "Why are you here?"

When Li Qingwen came after the fourth brother's ass, he saw his father and thirty or forty villagers, and they were also stunned.

"This, this is Zier...?" Li Maoyu grabbed Li Qingfeng with one hand, and looked at Li Qingwen, "I've really grown up, and I don't look the same as when we saw each other last time."

"That's right, it's been several years since the last time you went home, aunt." After Li Qingfeng finished speaking, he asked Li Qingwen to take Li Maoxian and the others back to the inn, and he still had to chase after them.

"Don't go, little brother!" Li Qingwen grabbed him, "everything is tightly wrapped in oiled paper and cloth, nothing is lost, this person is unfamiliar with the place, let's let him go."

After persuading Li Qingfeng, Li Qingwen called out obediently, "Father, aunt..."

The Li Maoyu in front of him was more vicissitudes than he remembered. Even though he hadn't seen him for many years, he was bound by blood, and when he met again, he didn't feel strange.

Li Maoyu raised his hand and touched Li Qingwen's head, and said with a smile: "I dreamed about your grandfather a while ago, and seeing him happy like that, I asked him if he didn't need to be troubled underground, and he said you should go and see him. Called grandpa..."

As soon as grandpa was mentioned, Li Qingwen's nose started to feel sore, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Wen brought someone along, so he could barely suppress the churning in his heart.

It was really a nuisance to have so many people stuck in the street, so everyone walked towards the inn while talking.

When they arrived at the inn, Chen Wen and Li Qingfeng went in first, while the others stood outside the door and hesitated, rubbing the mud from the soles of their shoes on the ground cautiously.

This inn looks good at first glance, I have never been here, I am afraid that it will dirty other people's places.

No matter what they were thinking, Li Qingfeng kept urging them, and everyone entered the inn one after another.

Seeing Li Maoxian and many people from the Li family here, Chen Wen was completely relieved, and after explaining clearly what should be explained, he took the people away and headed for the capital.

As long as the captives hadn't been delivered to the place within a day, Chen Wen didn't dare to take it lightly, especially when he entered the city where fish and dragons were mixed together, he had to be extra cautious.
